West Seattle restaurants: Charlestown Café closingMarch 27, 2011 at 11:55 am | In Charlestown Cafe, West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants | 86 Comments
(ADDED 12:41 PM: The note on the Charlestown Café door)
Thanks to the WSB'ers who called and e-mailed with this news, which we have just confirmed: The Charlestown Café is closing its doors. A sign on its front door says that it'll be shutting down as of 3 pm next Sunday (April 3rd) and blames economic conditions. It's endured a lot in recent years – first a development threat that rallied community support for the restaurant; then, shortly after word that the development plan was dropped, a 2008 fire closed the café for months. One year after its reopening, we followed up with owner Ron Hanlon, who candidly discussed the economic challenges (including the fact he had a month-by-month lease).
(WSB photo from 2009)
ADDED 3:51 PM: Rooting around now to see if there's any hint at the site's future. City files show some activity last June on a proposal for a "mixed-use multifamily building with commercial on the ground floor," but no dated activity since then – we'll be checking tomorrow to see if this is an active proposal. There's no indication in online records of any change in ownership. The proposal that surfaced in 2006 ultimately emerged as a single-story building that was to be a new home for Petco; the plan was dropped in early 2008, and as reported here a month ago, Petco is moving to Capco Plaza at 41st/Alaska.

So many of the long standing businesses in West Seattle closing their doors, very sad.

That's too bad – I've liked taking my kids there for lunch every Tuesday. Great service – GREAT servers. Wish them all well.

You cannot be serious…wow. Is there anything we can do? I mean, I'm not usually huge on bailouts, but I love that place. Best breakfast south of Maltby and north of everywhere.
Oh no! Great servers! And where will we get curry chicken salad?
Comment by Mike — 12:02 pm March 27, 2011 #
I am so sorry to hear of them closing! They have the best service in town and outstanding French Toast! Best of luck to all of the employees who always had a smile and great work attitudes. I will miss them all!
Comment by Ms Pam — 12:07 pm March 27, 2011 #
I am definitely not happy about this. Where can I go for great dungeness crab cakes?!!! I know they made a valiant effort to stay open. Thanks for years of wonderful food and friendly service. Let's all hope for a better future.

Uh oh, I'm going to miss their clam chowder. Now I feel guilty for not stopping by more often.
Comment by Born To Be Mild — 12:16 pm March 27, 2011 #
The food was ok good, but their service was excellent. W.S. is going to drop a notch.

I hate to hear this … will miss all of you greatly! Praying all of you find a good job in the terrible economy!

wow, I had no idea they were in business there for 32 yrs; sorry to hear this sad news
not again!

Won't miss it. Ate there once and never went back.
Comment by A — 1:28 pm March 27, 2011 #
Not a fan, but always sorry to see a landmark disappear but, apparently, the people who liked it didn't go often enough to keep it open. If you like (the theater/or some other icon) do more than mourn when it leaves.

Thats too bad :( I hope something besides condos show up there..

Best pancakes ever; sad to see them go. Thank you for many, many, MANY a great breakfast and brunch. Best of luck to everyone from the owners to those terrific servers and support staff.

I'm surprised! I stopped for lunch last week and the place was packed.
Comment by marty — 2:27 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sad to see them close. The Charlestown became the spot my little girl always wanted to eat breakfast at on the weekends she was with her dad. She received many lessons about life over Eggs Benedict and Banana Pancakes and come to think of it so did I. The Charlestown is one of the things I miss the most about West Seattle.
Comment by N.Y. Vinnie — 2:28 pm March 27, 2011 #
Best crepes ever! I can't say I expected this- it always seemed really busy. Sad to see them go, many great memories.
Comment by Catherine — 2:30 pm March 27, 2011 #
"To every thing there is a season, turn, turn, turn…" 32 years is a good run, and it was a good place for breakfast. I look forward to the next best place…
Comment by JayDee — 2:47 pm March 27, 2011 #
I'm surprised and sad about this too in that the parking lot always seemed like they had a steady flow of people coming through. Hope everyone lands on their feet quickly!
Comment by My two cents ... — 3:01 pm March 27, 2011 #
Well this just sucks.
Charleston was a great place to eat. I went there about every other month for some breakfast or dinner.
I will have to head back for some more delicious food before they close for good…
((If we are throwing in our wishes for the future of that space, I really wouldn't mind a 24-hour diner as I'm a night-owl.))
Comment by Cascadianone — 3:05 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sad to see them go. Good food, good people. The reality, though, is that many familes, such as mine, have less disposbale income. We haven't dined at the Charlestown as often as we would have liked, the past few years.
Comment by Bruce — 3:09 pm March 27, 2011 #
They can blame the economy if they want but…
In our experience, they had poor service and the food wasn't very good. So we stopped going (but continue to patronize their competition regularly). When we moved to W.Seattle 3 years ago, we went several times since they're nearby, giving them the benefit of the doubt and then some. I hate to see any business close, and it's too bad but…
Comment by kennem — 3:13 pm March 27, 2011 #
I don't know how I'm going tell my 5 yo Granddaughter that no more Mickey Mouse Pancakes. I've been taking her there her whole life and her Dad before that. I've been eating there for almost 30 years at the old location and the present.
We will miss the great staff.
Comment by Timh2o — 3:16 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sorry to hear the bad news. They are one of the few, very few, places we would spend the time and money to take a ferry boat across the sound to enjoy the food and the service. This is like losing a very close friend.
Comment by Bill — 3:30 pm March 27, 2011 #
Well, some West Seattle folk are "too cool" for a chain like Applebee's, but I would love to see something like that in it's place.
Flame away, hipsters.
Comment by Watertowerjoey — 3:32 pm March 27, 2011 #
West Seattle is NOT West Seattle with out the Charlestown Cafe……I'm sick all these new residents and condos….The reason why they don't get no buisness is because West Seattle is filled with people who arnt FROM West Seattle..IF your not FROM West Seattle your comments are irrelevant!!!
Comment by West Seattle — 3:53 pm March 27, 2011 #
Oh god, please….now where are all those people with kids going to go for breakfast? Parents please remember that little kids eating and having a melt down is not entertaining, not appetizing, and not fair to the kid or other diners. The kid issue has ruined the brewery on the weekends. Heaven help us.
Comment by Neighbor — 4:03 pm March 27, 2011 #
I am neither "too cool" nor a hipster, but Applebee's? No, no, no thanks!
I am sorry to see a local business go.
Comment by MsG — 4:05 pm March 27, 2011 #
This is the dilemma of a restaurant that's known first and foremost as a family place: those without kids don't consider it an option, and those with kids are the first to tighten their belts in a down economy. (Where are they going? I'm noticing a LOT more families at the cheaper spots in town.)
I was one of those who went a couple of times when I first moved, and found that the food was not rave-worthy enough to overcome the atmosphere. I eat breakfast/brunch in WS a couple times a week, but usually even if I thought of daring to return, my companion would veto the idea.
I definitely am sad for the Charlestown's closing, though, and I think it's great that families had a place to go that not only let the kids be kids but encouraged it.
Comment by Michael — 4:10 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sad. I think it was the fire that did them in though. After they were closed for so long, we just got used to not going there.
I agree. I'm neither cool, nor hipster, but please no Applebees! To prove so, I say bring in a McDonalds with a play place! I'm only partially serious…:)
Comment by ann — 4:12 pm March 27, 2011 #
Well, Ms./Mr. "West Seattle," I guess we might as well shut this website down, then, 'cause the co-publisher and I are "not (originally) from West Seattle" either. Celebrating our 20-year arrival in anniversary in about a week, but that's just a blink of an eye. Even worse, we came here from California (gasp) like a whole bunch of others in 1991. No condo, though, we own a little bitty bungalow built in '41, bought in '93. Nonetheless, we're sad to see the Charlestown go. The campaign to save it in late 2006 was the first news story we covered for WSB besides the windstorm. – TR
This sucks. I enjoyed going there for breakfast and always made it a custom to take my kids when they were in town.
I have to agree though that some parents had no problem letting their kids run amok or at least scream amok with no concern for other customers.
Comment by Mike — 4:32 pm March 27, 2011 #
This breaks my heart. My husband and I have eaten at the Charlestown for more than 11 years. When I was in chemo, this was one of the few places I felt comfortable going, they would custom make what I felt like eating that day, and the servers treated me so kindly. We will miss their amazing breakfasts, yummy dinners and excellent service. I wish the best to the owners and staff and thank them for many great memories and meals.
Comment by Heidi — 4:41 pm March 27, 2011 #
Frankly I dont have a problem with people who arnt literally "FROM" here as long as they contribute to the community in some way, and I'm not sure where WSB stands in all this "over population" going on in West Seattle but it's clearly ruining the lifestyle's of longtime West Seattle residents.
Comment by West Seattle — 4:51 pm March 27, 2011 #
Over priced, obnoxiously loud, and rude servers..bye bye
Comment by willnotmissit — 4:53 pm March 27, 2011 #
All right, TR @ 4:31 pm! Though a WS native myself, I'm with you on not abiding the clowns who pride themselves on denigrating every local who wasn't born & bred here.
Comment by Forest — 4:59 pm March 27, 2011 #
ok "West Seattle" – I'll bite. I am from WS, born and raised, work here, raising my family here. Eat at a lot of local restaurants, shop locally. Pretty invloved in our community.
Charlestown Cafe has been a good neighbor, HUGE SUPPORTER of many local causes, gathering place known for its people as much as its food. A great combination.
The crew there have done a lot over the past 32 years to create a successful restaurant. An amazing string of Chowder Cook-off Wins put them on the national map! Likely one of the longer running restaurants in West Seattle, and one of the friendliest. I last ate there about a month ago, and am sad to see them go.
Not sure what you think new people with new ideas has to do in your mind with their closing. These new residents, condos, businesses are a fiscal boon – bringing an overall stronger marketplace to a burg that once bemoaned the closing of JC Penneys in the Junction with "where will I buy my underwear?" And twenty years of retail stagnation in the Junction didn't give way until about 10 years ago.
Very few restaurants survive 30 plus years. We have more than our share in our community, likely due to the special West Seattle Pride they bring us. But pride doesn't fill the seats consistently, habits and markets change.
Take care, Charlestown Cafe folks. Thanks for hundreds of great meals.
Comment by Denny — 5:00 pm March 27, 2011 #
I did have an extremely tough steak there once, but everthing else was fine. The servers there were always great. And the kids? A friend of mine claimed that if you have kids you are immune to the noise. With that in mind, kids don't bother me, I'm thankful that someone is taking on that task.
Comment by Born To Be Mild — 5:06 pm March 27, 2011 #
This is very sad news. I'm not a local W Seattler. In fact, I'm not even an American. My family and I moved to WS only six months ago. In the stress and bother of settling into a new country we stumbled across Charlestown and we loved it. Fantastic pancakes, french toast, great service. It really helped us feel 'at home'. My family and I were there only last night for supper. My boys will be heart broken that they're closing and I, for one, will be eating there as often as possible over the next week.
Comment by Kate — 5:24 pm March 27, 2011 #
I was shocked to see this and so sad .. It seems like there are always cars around the cafe, I never dreamed they weren't doing well ..It's a great place and I will miss it so much.. Ron's Tuna Sandwich is the best anywhere and I don't ever like Tuna ..Their Eggs Benedict are great, I could go on and on .. I wish there were something we could do, I would in a heartbeat .. Nothing like a place that serves good old fashioned comfort food .. A lot of new places try, but the Charleston did it ..
Comment by Dawnie — 5:40 pm March 27, 2011 #
So sorry to hear this, but honestly, it was the food that took it down. I've tried to eat there thee times. Each time ordering a basic 'simple' breakfast, and it was horrible. I've lived in West Seattle for 10+ years and only been there 3 times, that says something about it. No one I know eats there regularly.
In that same time places like Circa have started and done just fine. Heartland Cafe opened and is doing just fine. West 5 seems to keep chugging on. It's not the economy, but the restaurant business is TOUGH in the best of times. If you serve tasteless mediocre/poor food, you just won't make it. I'm sorry, but "just being open" isn't good enough in the food business, you have to be as good or better as everyone else, or else your customers (like me) simply go elsewhere.
Comment by Alki Area — 5:50 pm March 27, 2011 #
I'm very sorry to hear this. it was a local institution and a good place for breakfast. My very best wishes to the Webster family, I'm sure that they didn't want to close the doors.

Comment by April — 7:13 pm March 27, 2011 #
I was surprised to read that it was under the same ownership because in my opinion the food quality had dropped from where it was years ago.
Comment by dsa — 7:15 pm March 27, 2011 #
DSA, there was one change – one of the owners, Larry, left a couple years ago. And the problems were foreshadowed – now that WS 4 Japan, which has taken most of our day, is winding down, I'm adding a little more background to this. We had a story one year after the post-fire reopening in which the remaining owner, Ron, discussed the difficulties, including a month-to-month lease:
Very sad news indeed. We have never had poor service and the food and prices have always been good. Now I know this economy is TRULY bad if Charlestown Cafe has to close because of it. Best wishes to Ron and the entire crew. We are very sorry to hear this news.
Comment by mj — 7:55 pm March 27, 2011 #
Bummer. We loved to walk there. My 4 year old will be disappointed. Maybe I will throw my hat in the ring and open a neighborhood breakfast always diner in that area.
Comment by Dirk Digler — 8:42 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sad to see this business leave. I know they have really been struggling. I am also saddened to see the negative comments.
Comment by Chicago — 8:45 pm March 27, 2011 #
Ooooooh….this is sad news. Aside from very yummy food, the Charlestown has been a part of our family's life as long as we've been in West Seattle, 13 years. My son, who's 16 now, use to walk there with his cousin from our house nearby and sit at the breakfast bar. Some of the servers were family friends of ours, and would serve the boys mickey mouse pancakes cheerfully. It was the highlight of the boys' Saturday mornings! I loved the corned beef benedict. The negative comments are just an insult to WS and one of the many places that made it great. Will be there Saturday morning, for one last breakfast. :(
Comment by Danielle — 9:02 pm March 27, 2011 #
I'm really sorry to hear this. My husband and I really liked going there.
We've always enjoyed taking the kids there… good basic food and a basket of books to look at while we were waiting. Sad…
mr/ms west seattle — how do a bunch of new 'dinks'/condo dwellers to a neighborhood hurt a restaurant's business?
Comment by fubarrio — 11:10 pm March 27, 2011 #
Sad to hear thIs news. We didn't go to the Charleston often, primarily because we live at the opposite end of the Penninsula. But we always enjoyed our meals & the friendly service there when we did. And my now 4 & 1/2 year old daughter LOVED the pancakes so much she would always comment on how we needed to "Go there!" whenever we passed the cafe.
I also really, really, really hope that it isn't torn down and/or replaced by another condo or mixed use commercial building. Enough already with that noise. Local, non-chain businesses are what makes our community strong & special. IMMHO anyway.
32 yrs is a GREAT run. I wish the owners and staff all the very best. You'll be sorely missed by this non-native, former CA Girl, turned West Seattlite (and her pancake lovin' kid too!).
anytime a local business closes, its a sad thing… small business is what drives communities… but the truth behind any business closing its doors is the lease. so, in a dog-eat-dog, the fittest survive world, you can't blame anyone… but in a world, where we should understand that we all survive off each other and that there needs to be some give and take, here is the truth. the restaurant is closing its doors, INSTEAD of selling to someone who could continue its legacy because the landlord has refused to give them a lease. b/c the landlord wants to make money on the land. blame the landlord. the best restaurants in the world have haters.. as some of you obviously are. they food may have been bad to some, service may have been abhorrent to others, but it seems the majority of people liked this place for its longevity, community presence, and dare i say, its products.
if they had a considerable lease, then i guarantee that the owner would not be closing, but would have sold… instead he is forced to close the doors, turn over the space and lose everything. blame the landlord.
Comment by fellow business owner — 11:31 pm March 27, 2011 #
What I really miss is the pre-fire Charlestown. That was a place to meet the community, and find unpretentious but tasty comfort food at a reasonable price. Their spirit and quality never really recovered after the fire. Personally, we went from frequent to infrequent customers.
There is still a need for an easy to go to, moderately priced but tasty, and casual eatery in West Seattle. I hope some brave and dedicated soul will step in to fill that need.
Comment by A long-time diner — 11:39 pm March 27, 2011 #
Never had a bad meal there, never had bad service either. Loved the chicken fried steak, crab benny and clam chowder. I will miss it.
Comment by Rod — 12:02 am March 28, 2011 #
Makes me sad to think such a favorite family memory of ours will be nothing more than that! When my boys were little we used to walk to breakfast there on weekends and wait in line to sit on the patio if it was warm enough. It was always so worth waiting!! Best breakfast experience ever. Now my youngest goes there with his high school teammates after practice. Really hate to see it go. Farewell to the crew, good luck in future endeavors.
Comment by Moji — 12:06 am March 28, 2011 #
I lived in W.S. for over 15 years and only been there a few times, why, because I don't like being served prefrozen food, or as I call it, ding ding food out of a microwave. Anyways, I don't believe the economy bursted their bubble, I don't think they had the innovation to change the menu. I never had a problem with service though.
Comment by Jiggers — 12:59 am March 28, 2011 #
To the condo haters out there, of which it seems there are many…my building is filled with long-time west seattle residents, many of whom owned homes here before they retired and downsized into a condo right in their own neighborhood. These folks continue to support local businesses. Condos are where many people start, move out to a home, and move back to for retirement. The level of ignorance about this is just astonishing to me.
Comment by homesweethome — 6:18 am March 28, 2011 #
This is sad… I almost feel guilty for bringing my kids for free meals. Wait! I was paying for the adul meals so I was keepi g the Cafe in business…
so sad…
Comment by good egg — 7:43 am March 28, 2011 #
Charlestown was a great place to go with multi generations of family. No tv's blaring, no loud music to cause more confusion for my mother's dementia. Coloring supplies for the great-grand children. Reasonable prices for the grand children. No push to hurry up and vacate table, and padded seats to sit on. Perfect for after church family gatherings. And being able to park close to the door off the street was priceless with someone that had great difficulty with vision.
Thanks, Charlestown!
Comment by Gina — 8:09 am March 28, 2011 #
@WestSeattle- As a person born and raised in this Region, but not WS, I find it a bit odd when other "natives" get so territorial. Unless you are Duwamish or of Native American ancestry you or your people came from elsewhere…I'd like to see the rest of us get over ourselves. Though I never ate at this restaurant, it is too bad when a local business that provides a healthy family environment shuts down- especially due to economy.

@Gina. You've said it well.
Comment by A long-time diner — 8:16 am March 28, 2011 #
They must have been inconsistent– we went there once when we first moved to the neighborhood and had poor service and very greasy food; so we never went back… I did appreciate that it had a "mom & Pop" feel to it… Hopefully this is a new opportunity for the the Charlestown's owner and a new opportunity for another business to move into the space. It seemed to have a following, so hopefully their next venture will have even a bigger following.

@seewhatsealionstart: nicely put, especially with regard to what it means to be "native" in Seattle.
Comment by bridge to somewhere — 8:36 am March 28, 2011 #
Oh so sad! We love you Charlestown! Thank you for seating us so quickly and accomodating our child every time. More businesses should be run like your – efficient service, good food and a staff that treats you like family. I also really always admired that you created a place for seniors to come. Really a shame. I hope that another glorious door opens for everyone who worked there. Have faith!
Comment by s — 8:50 am March 28, 2011 #
Was a regular there since the Webster's days way up at the other end of California. IMO they stopped trying after the long struggle with their landlord. Same menu except for price increases for many years. A simple breakfast with coffee cost me $13-$15…too much. Loved the familiar, comfortable setting that was an important destination for the elderly but lacked much draw for the rest. Loved the staff, going to miss them terriblly. Sad.

The Charlestown has a special place in my heart and always will ;) Best of luck to the amazing, long time staff.
If you want the chowder, head down to Post Alley at the market…

We have been in the neighborhood since 82. A real loss. Has been a family favorite of ours for years starting with the location on the other side of the Junction. Good luck to Ron and his great crew!
Comment by L Corbin — 11:23 am March 28, 2011 #
The Charlestown has been there longer than I've been alive… it will be very weird to drive past that part of California Ave and not see it there. I haven't freqented the Charlestown as much as I do other places, but the times I did go the staff was always friendly and accomodating. I was just there with my husband only 2 weeks ago and I really enjoyed the breakfast burritos I had! Maybe the food wasn't something I would write home about, but it was a staple of the community, and I will miss it. Thank you to the owners and staff for running a nice, family-friendly restaurant for so long, and my best wishes to the staff who now need to find new jobs.

What a shock. We have been coming to the Charlstown for about 7 years with our son and his wife and mother-in-law, for breakfast on Saturdays, and before that, with our mother. What will we do now?
Good food and good friends will be missed.

I love that the Charlestown Cafe has always been there, and I wish society could do something to preserve it.
Comment by Another Fan — 2:59 pm March 28, 2011 #
@homesweethome I'm not a condo "hater", but I DO think we need to balance business, single family homes, mixed use commercial/residential, public green space, etc. in a more community friendly way. There are FAR too many high rise condo buildings going in, and what are they replacing? Older buildings that might actually be just as great for someone to live in? Not all these new condo buildings are built well, nor do they have sufficient parking for the residents they bring in, and for every brand new building that everyone wants to live in b/c of the awesome amenities, etc. what about the hundreds of vacant or run down buildings that stand neglected, empty and undesirable?
We need a balance. And from my point-of-view, I think we have a lot of new condo buildings going in, or recently gone in, and for now, it's enough. 100% agree with you that apartment and condo living is a great way to get into your first home, or to downsize when you've outgrown the need for a bigger piece of property w/ all the yard maintenance, etc. that goes with that… let's just not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Besides, this is about the corner that the Charlestown Cafe currently sits on. A multi-story commercial property there does NOT make sense to me at all. Not trying to be a hater, just think we need to THINK. :-)
So sad! One of the few places we comfortably take our 91 year old grandfather, and 4 year old son. Not many breakfast places left since the Admiral Way turned into a bank. Will the last Diner owner in W. Seattle turn out the lights!
Comment by Huskilvr — 3:50 pm March 28, 2011 #
I spent the morning of my wedding with my to-be husband, two "new" daughters and daughter at the Charlestown. That memory is from almost 18 years ago. My daughter has worked there for 5 years. It saddens me to see the Charlestown close for many reasons. It gives me joy to hear the positive posts from those who have enjoyed their experience, especially about the service!
It often amazes me the amount of "misplaced" comments on some of the blogs. What do condos and whether you're a native of West Seattle have to do with the closure of a long time business or the many people that are losing their jobs? Maybe a little but in the overall scheme of things, it seems very insensitive.
Comment by JVC — 5:49 pm March 28, 2011 #
Very sad. I never ate meals there (I don't have kids, and am not a senior), but it was still a landmark, and I'd occasionally get chowder to go. What will become of the sacred clam chowder recipe? It must be preserved in some way, or shared with other restaurants. Please don't let it die!!!!
Comment by Alex — 6:01 pm March 28, 2011 #
We just returned from our last meal and saw so many we have seen over the years. We've been going for 20 years. Our sons who are 11and nearly 5 were nearly in tears as were the servers who remember us since we were pregnant with them. Sad for employees and patrons. We will miss all those who worked there, the chowder, Ron's favorite, Mickey Mouse pancakes, and so much more.

Just published a followup, talking to customers and staff as they dealt with the first day after the public announcement:
I am with those who want to be activist. This place is a community resource. Can we take up a collection amongst us fans to pay off their debt or whatever cash amount might allow them to remain in business?

I don't like to see any long running, local businesses go under, but that place was overpriced and not so good. They should have served better food at a better price.

The Seminoles celebrate their ACC title after Friday's win over Miami at Tully Gym.
- Filed Under
If ever there was a volleyball match featuring a contrast in styles, Friday's Atlantic Coast Conference showdown between Florida State and Miami at Tully Gym was it.
The 12th-ranked Seminoles relied on size and strength, the No. 23 Hurricanes speed and ball control. Both approaches proved effective, but the difference at the end - specifically the decisive fourth set - was FSU's experience and flair for the dramatic.
The Seminoles upended the Hurricanes 25-20, 22-25, 25-14, 29-27 to win a second consecutive ACC Championship and extend their home win streak to 26 matches over two seasons. ...

Uses advanced technology to give you real time analysis of asymmetry, border, colour, diameter and evolution.
Compare your photos to help track the evolutionary changes of a mole.
Archive as many photos you like which you can come back and view at any time.
Provides you with detailed analysis results for any type of mole giving you a in depth understanding of what to look for.
Setup automatic reminders to checkup any mole you are concerned about.
All data is self contained on your phone and nobody has access to it except you.
Worried about that suspicious looking mole? Skin cancer can affect anyone of any age. Doctor Mole can help you identify if your little mole is perhaps a big problem. It is quick and easy to use in the privacy of your own home and allows you to save any photo you have taken to compare for evolution changes at a later stage.
Melanoma is a cancer of the melanocytes (cells that produce pigment giving our skin its natural colour). Melanoma is by far the most serious and dangerous type of skin cancer, because it can spread easily to other organs in the body. When it spreads, the cancer extends downwards from the epidermis and can invade healthy tissue such as nearby lymph nodes or it can get into your bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream or lymphatic system, the cancer can easily spread to other parts of the body. That's why, even if a melanoma is cut out, the cancer can reappear months or years later, often in your lungs, liver or brain.
The good news is that survival rates for melanoma are high in Australia, and that melanoma develops on the skin so by checking your skin and being aware of any changes, melanomas can be detected before they have the chance to spread. However, the outcome very much depends on how deep the cancer has grown. A melanoma need only be 1mm deep to get into your bloodstream and spread. So detecting melanoma early is important. The other piece of good news is that melanoma is preventable by avoiding over exposure to UVR.
Doctor Mole provides you with detailed analysis of your mole using the widely accepted ABCDE (Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter and Evolution) method for checking for a melanoma.
Archive unlimited photos, and then us our powerful overlay tools to compare changes in any photos over time to help look for changes. Also a great way to store reference images to show your doctor at your next check-up.
Set reminders to re-analyse previous moles of concern at a later stage so as to keep a record of any changes that may have occurred.

Surfpoint's Ben Swanson, Alison Newby and Peter Swanson could not capture the thief but are happy to give Richard Lowe his beloved bike back.
The most-wanted bike in Margaret River has been returned to a man offering a $100,000 reward to catch the thief who took it.
Surfpoint Resort workers spotted reports of Richard Lowe's stolen bike and realised it was the one they found abandoned on their property a few weeks ago.
Richard Lowe's post on the Margaret River Buy and Sell Facebook page.
Resort manager Peter Swanson said he first thought the bike belonged to one of his guests.
"But everyone checked out and the bike stayed there," he said.
Mr Swanson said he saw the offer of a $100,000 reward in the Margaret River Mail and contacted its owner.
On getting the retro-styled beach cruiser back, Mr Lowe said he was "stoked" and he "didn't have to walk anymore".
Mr Lowe said that despite media reports his $100,000 reward for the thief was incorrect, that was the amount he was offering if anyone was convicted of stealing the bike.
If the thief is ever captured he told the Margaret River Mail he was not worried about paying the reward.
"I wrote a terms and conditions - $1 monthly installments," he said.

We'll forgive you for mistaking Jonathan Trappe for Carl Fredriksen of the Pixar movie UP. Like Fredriksen, Trappe is a "cluster balloonist" who likes to fly around the world with a bunch of balloons. He's attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean soon. To promote his upcoming trip, Trappe teamed up with Casasyes to make another real life version of the Up House for the Leon International Balloon festival in Mexico. Yes, a house that actually flies with balloons. Though we saw National Geographic already pull off that stunt, it always brings a smile to my soul when we're recreating Pixar movies.

Knoxville has made and missed a lot of national lists over the years. Now the city has been called the cleanest city in the country.
Knoxville residents spend the most on average on cleaning supplies per day. Residents spend $66.95 per month. Some of the favorite cleaning supplies for those in Knoxville include Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner with bleach in the rain scent and SOS pads which are heavy duty scrubber sponges.
Staffers at Alice.com tallied up how much Americans all over the country spend on the powders, scrubs and sprays we use to keep houses sparkling.
ities in Alabama, Wyoming and Montana also finished in the top five. Pine Bluff, Arkansas is the dirtiest city. People there only spend $12.72 a month.
To see the full list for yourself, read the article in Time Magazine.

I have been guiding Susan and her husband, Barry, for over a decade. She is a pediatrician and he is a banker. Both are avid fly-fishers.
At times, they have used my wife, Lori, as an additional guide, when they had friends accompanying them on fishing trips. Susan had gathered a group of ladies that were childhood and college friends, who were wanting to learn to fly-fish, and contacted us to help her put it together.
It sounded like a lot of fun, so we eagerly agreed to participate by organizing a private ladies fly-fishing class. Susan secured a nice cabin on a lightly fished, but wadable section ...

Hi there Neil,Just to clarify each user should have their own audit tree and logging. So, every user would be able to roll back their history and navigate their own audit tree. This is a real audit tree rather than the simple redo and undo linear trail...
o---o---o / \ o---o o---o o---o \ / o---o---o---o---oIn that case wondering whether triple revocation is a low level function as with the deadly triple delete or is it higher up. Where every revocation statement (this triple has been modified) is itself a triple? Because to view an audit tree you need these revocation/modified statements in the triple store.
Or am I completely off track and when you say revocation you mean mark for deletion?
If we're letting triples reference themselves then are we going to need a second table in our database to enable differentiation between literals, URIs and triples?
Just some thoughts... Cheers Daniel

The first, containing their corporate offices, is located in Century City's posh ABC Entertainment Center. The second is the ABC Television Center, located east of Hollywood; this is their studio base for KABC, the local Channel 7, an ABC affiliate. ABC does not offer a guided tour of the studio, and it is not open to the public, which is a shame, considering the studio's record in broadcasting, and the history of its east Hollywood studio.
Vitagraph helped start the careers of Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Norma Talmadge, Douglas Fairbanks, Lionel Barrymore and Joe. E. Brown. Oliver Hardy filmed over forty silent films here prior to partnering with Stan Laurel. Both Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith directed films at Vitagraph.
Stage 55, the oldest remaining stage on the lot (and at one time the world's largest sound stage), still features windows that are visible in "The Phantom of the Opera" with Lon Chaney. The huge pepper tree in front of the KABC bungalows was planted in 1920 by Norma Talmadge.
The studio was eventually purchased by Warner Bros in 1925 for $1 million.And at least some portion of Al Jolson's historic "The Jazz Singer" may have been filmed here on Stage 55 when the lot was owned by Warner Bros.
ABC Television acquired the studio property in 1949, and opened the world's largest, state-of-the-art television center.
The Beatles played at the studio live in 1965 when they appeared on the TV show "Shindig," as did The Rolling Stones and Sonny & Cher. The very first Jerry Lewis Telethon was filmed here. Dean Martin debuted his new song "That's Amore" for the first time on that show.
Over the years, a surprising number of popular game shows were taped here at ABC, including "Let's Make a Deal," "Family Feud," "The Dating Game," The Match Game," "The Newlywed Game" and "Password." So were music/variety shows such as Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" and "The Lawrence Welk Show."
But it is no longer the site of many network productions. The studio houses the local ABC affiliate station KABC-TV (Channel 7), with its popular Eyewitness News division, as well as the "Good Morning America" west coast headquarters. Also, the soap operas "General Hospital" and "Port Charles" are taped here - the large five-story building (visible in the photo to the left) is devoted exclusively to the production of "General Hospital."
Current plans call
for KABC to build a new 100,000-foot studio in Burbank soon (near
its parent corporation, Disney),
which should be ready sometime in 2000. The new studio will be located
in the Grand Central Business Centre (owned by Disney), at 512 Paula Ave.,
near the interchange of Interstate 5 and California 134. It will share
the Centre with such existing Disney branches as Disney Imagineering, Disney
Interactive, and will be right across the street from the new 12-acre DreamWorks
animation studio. ( .) After the move, the old Prospect Avenue
studio be used "to expand other network programs and develop future
ABC Entertainment Center (including the Shubert
Theatre and ABC's corporate headquarters) is located in Century
City, across the street from the Century
Plaza Hotel, just north of 20th
Century Fox Studios, and within walking distance of the Century
City Shopping Center.
The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) started out as the junior member of the Big Three TV networks in the early days of television. But over the years ABC grew to become a major player.
During the 1950's and 1960's, ABC achieved only limited success in denting the Top 15 list (of most popular shows for those decades), scoring only a few times, with "The Real McCoys," "Disneyland" and "Bewitched." But other ABC shows, such as "The Mickey Mouse Club," "Leave It to Beaver," "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet," "The Untouchables," "The Donna Reed Show," "The Addams Family," "The Partridge Family" and "American Bandstand" also did well.
the 1970's was a breakthrough decade for ABC, when
the network took the TV world by storm with such popular sitcoms as "Happy
Days," "Laverne & Shirley," "Three's
Company" and "Mork & Mindy," as well as with
romantic adventure shows like "Charlie's Angels," "Hart
to Hart," "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy
Island" - not to mention NFL Monday Night Football.
During the 80's, ABC gave us "Who's the Boss?," "Moonlighting," "Dynasty" and "Thirtysomething," while in the 90's ABC they offered up "Twin Peaks," "Lois & Clark," "Ellen" and "The Wonder Years." ABC has also given us some of the best miniseries ever made, including "Rich Man, Poor Man," "The Winds of War" and the unforgettable saga, "Roots."
Today, ABC has climbed out of a recent slump a little in the ratings department, with the help of Regis Philbin's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," and recent hits such as "Home Improvement," "Grace Under Fire," "Spin City," and "Boy Meets World," and with current sitcoms such as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," "Dharma & Greg" and "Drew Carey." plus dramas like "NYPD Blue" and "The Practice." Also among the network's top-rated shows have been their news programs, such as "PrimeTime Live" "20/20," the ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings, and the always popular NFL Monday Night football games.
In July of 1995, ABC was bought by the Walt Disney Company, and word has it that ABC is shopping around for a new location for their main television studio. Since the purchase, some of their programming has taken a distinctive Disney turn, including the return of "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Sunday nights
Although NBC Studios (in the Valley) and CBS TV City (in Hollywood) both invite the public in to watch live tapings as members of a live studio audience, that's not the case with ABC. Other than the local Eyewitness News broadcasts and soap operas (such as "General Hospital"), no ABC television shows are currently produced at either ABC Television City or the ABC Entertainment Center. All ABC shows are done "out" - that is, they are taped at other studios, then aired on ABC.
There was one notable exception recently. Several segments of "The View" (the early morning talk show with Barbara Walters) were taped before a live studio audience at the ABC Television Center, but the show has now returned to its regular home in New York.
In order to watch
an ABC show being taped, you'll have to contact one of the audience services
(such as "Audiences
Unlimited") for tickets, and then go to another studio to
see the show being taped. (See the separate pages about getting tickets
to live tapings.)
To reach the ABC Entertainment Center in Century City from Hollywood & Vine, take Vine Street south (about 3/4 of a mile) to Santa Monica Boulevard. Turn right (west) on Santa Monica Boulevard and follow it west/southwest (for about eight miles) to the Avenue of the Stars. Turn left (south) on Avenue of the stars and go straight ahead to the towering fountains in the center of the street. The Entertainment Center will be on your left (east) side, across from the Century Plaza Hotel.

Main Deck
60 cards
Just one week after winning Pro Tour-Kyoto, Gabriel Nassif is back in the champion's chair! He bested 1,230 players at Grand Prix-Chicago to take the Legacy title. His deck of choice? The infamous CounterTop, which uses a combination of Sensei's Divining Top and Counterbalance to lock an opponent out of the game. But Gabe didn't just run any version of the deck. Check out his Highlander sideboard; all one-ofs! To read more about the event, visit the official web coverage.

Gonna base it on the one at the Girl & the Goat. They use Old Overholt, cognac, some kind of absinthe.
I'm gonna use Whistlepig Rye, Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Lucid Absinthe, Peychaud Bitters. Luckily, Schafers in Skokie had Peychauds and it's on the way home from work. Peychauds clearly has a licorice (anise) aroma. Got the Whistlepig at Knightsbridge Wine in Northbrook; i think I remember reading about it in Malt Advocate. I also have bottles of Sazerac and vanWinkle rye; may have to do a comparison.

What Has Changed About Orangery Design in Recent Years?
This article looks at the ways in which orangery designs and purposes have changed over the last few centuries. It looks at the ways in which they are built and how adaptable they have become to now accommodate a lot more uses.
Image via Wikipedia
have not changed very much over the last few centuries, the basic design is still there and the materials used to build them are much the same. However, the interior and uses for them have changed over the course of time. It was commonplace for the upper classes and wealthy to have and orangery. This is no longer the case and anyone who wishes to have an orangery as an elegant addition to their home is able to. Although orangeries can sometimes be more expensive than a conservatory they have much more to offer. One of the main advantages an orangery has over a conservatory is that fact it is a permanent structure whereas a conservatory can often be considered temporary.
Orangeries have been around since the 17th century and the original uses included growing exotic fruit and plants that would not normally grow in colder climates. Their ability to retain a lot of heat was the reason they became so popular for this purpose. However it was harder to keep them warm during the night so open fires had to be lit. Now, you will find there is a lot more an orangery can be used for as well as growing plants. Their days of growing plants are not behind them but orangeries now a lot more uses, they are used as pleasant sunrooms to relax and enjoy during the day and night.
There are some very famous orangery designs which can be seen all over Europe. Some of these include orangeries in France and Austria. The majority of orangeries in the UK have other uses which include being made into cafes or restaurants or used as botanical gardens. One of the most famous orangeries in the UK is at Kew Gardens. Due to the fact it did not attract enough light it was unable to fulfil its original purpose which was to house plants. The reason for this was that there was too much brick work and not enough windows to let the light in which meant the plants suffered. However, not all orangeries are on such a grand scale. If you do not want an unsightly conservatory, but do not want the cost and upheaval of an extension then an orangery is the answer for you. With the addition of an orangery also comes the beauty and style that will be added to your home once you have built your orangery. You can sit and watch nature in all its glory without ever leaving your front door.

I love the effect, but I must be missing something. In the example given, the spectator counts ten matches. The article states that at the end of the effect the spectator will find one more match than expected in the matchbook. Well, he should expect to find nine and that is what he will find unless I misunderstood something.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Following a debate over 16th century German and 21st century sexuality, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) took steps yesterday to remove the only explicit condemnation of homosexuality from its constitution.

Prep girls' basketball: Riverton defense shelves Lone Peak, 40-31
Riverton • For some teams, making only four of its final eight free throws is a death knell even with a lead.
Of course, if a team goes 4-for-8 from the line, but also holds its opponent to one field goal in the entire fourth quarter and can pass its way out of a press, that's how the Riverton girls' basketball team wins games.
The Silverwolves defended their home court, knocking out Lone Peak in a 40-31 defensive-flavored matchup. With the win, Riverton took down arguably its toughest region foe and now has the easiest path to earn the Region 4 championship.
"It feels great it's definitely an accomplishment," senior guard Morganne Campbell said. "We have to keep fighting, and remember it's not over yet."
The Silverwolves had their best stretch at the end of the game, keeping the Knights from scoring a field goal for the final five minutes. Part of the credit goes to Lone Peak's own shaky shooting, but Riverton managed to grab some steals and outrebound taller post players.
As the lead stretched to 36-30, the Knights began to run a full-court press. But the Silverwolves cooly were able to pass around the pressure and hold onto the ball.
The lockdown defense in the second half came into place gradually. Early in the game, Lone Peak center Karlie Taylor tore the post apart for 10 first-half points. The 6-foot-3 senior also swatted several interior attempts away the Silverwolves didn't have much answer for her presence.
"We talked about it at halftime, and we wanted to help each other out as much as possible on defense," Campbell said. "We know at any given night any one of us can step up. So if the posts aren't doing as well, the guards can play better."
Riverton successfully managed to smother a backcourt that burned them in the last game. Besides Taylor, who finished with with 14 points, no one else finished with more than five.
Team offense was the theme for the Silverwolves: Leading scorer Whitney Saunders had only 8 points, but six players scored four points or more.
"We don't have any big hitters or stars or whatever, but what a joy it's been to coach a group of girls who truly buy into the 'team' concept," coach Ron Ence said. "Especially this last month, they've worked really hard on their weaknesses, and it's shown."

• Riverton beats Lone Peak, giving it a 7-0 region record and a fast track to the Region 4 championship.
• The Silverwolves stuff the Knights in the fourth quarter, allowing only four points and one field goal.

Basket Love
I am not sure if I should have titled this 'Basket Love' or 'Basket Case' but I have always been a bit partial to a basket. I See any kind of basket and I am instantly drawn to it. I put it down to my lovely wicker chair I had as a child and the fact my Mum always used a wicker shopping basket. Thinking of that I remember the love of having to have a wicker basket for cookery lessons. It's calico or plastic bags for them these days!
Anyway I thought I would show you my newish baskets. Now don't yawn because these baskets help me 'Mrs Chaos' to appear less chaotic!!!
So let me introduce you to my smallest basket. Meet the basket that mainly hold bills, post, my purse, usually my camera but I am taking the picture with it and basically anything that used to be put on this Work top as a dumping ground.
So great place to hide your depressing bills, a piece of orange felt, a candle you know that sort of thing!!
Now my favourite, my medium basket. This sits on the kitchen table, easily moved when it is dinner time but this hides and yes it is hides, the clutter that used to be dumped on the table. You know the school letters, forms to go back, pens, pencils, drawings you know the kind of thing. But now just pop it in the basket and tra la a tidy kitchen table.
As you can see my table baskets holds all sorts of things. Goggles (!), hairbrush to save the great hairbrush hunt in the morning, my well-loved furry address book and stuff. Lots of clutter but a tidy kitchen table!!!
To my last basket, the big one. This holds mainly magazines, more drawings etc and it does make it easier to keep the paper clutter contained and apart from the mass breeding of Lego on the floor a not to untidy sitting room.
Now I know now your asking what happens when the baskets are full….well I will tell you when I get to that point!!!
So there you have my Three little (or not so little) baskets. Who would know a basket could create the elusion that 'Moi' is not messy!!!
So there is my basket love. Do you have a secret weapon to making you life look more organised than it really is??? Please share as the baskets are getting quite full

This is where I am going wrong, we have piles instead of baskets. baskets are so much lovelier, and hide stuff. Great ideas.
At new year I vow to label a basket paperwork 2012, throw all bills and household stuff in, and lose the need to file.
Thanks for your lovely words on twitter earlier
Now that is what I need, baskets with lids
A fantastic idea, cannot believe I have not thought to do this myself. Our table has a constant pile of crap, sorry pictures, letters from school etc on it. A basket would be perfect and looks so much better. And Lego Club?? I must not let my OH know of such a thing as that would mean another pile of magazines to battle with! x

Some cases of a fatal neurodegenerative disorder linked last fall to "mad cow disease" may not be triggered by the agent that most scientists have suspected. That provocative claim, from animal findings described in tomorrow's issue of Science,* implies that health officials may have to revise their surveillance of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), a condition characterized by tremors, memory loss, and dementia that tends to strike people under 40.
The classic form of CJD is a rare disease that strikes people in old age. The variant form, vCJD, is thought to arise from exposure to products derived from cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Hallmark signs of vCJD are severe lesions in the cerebellum, a brain region involved in movement control, and the presence of large protein aggregations, called plaques, throughout the brain. Many scientists believe that an altered version of the brain prion protein 'PrP' is responsible for the disease.
Neuropathologist Laura Manuelidis, a longtime skeptic of the idea that altered proteins cause BSE, reasoned that a virus or other agent might be responsible for vCJD. Her team at Yale Medical School injected human brain tissue from people diagnosed with the classic form of CJD into hamsters. The hamsters developed spongiform brain lesions, but not damage in the cerebellum or plaques. The researchers set out to test whether this strain might convert into a plaque-producing strain in a different species. They injected brain tissue from the hamsters into the brains of six rats; but after 700 days, only two had developed spongy brain lesions, and they also lacked changes in the cerebellum typical of vCJD. Moreover, they had no detectable levels of misfolded PrP. They did, however, appear to have brain inflammation: an accumulation of microglial cells, the brain's version of macrophages.
One rat had obvious clinical signs of illness, such as a hunched posture. When brain material from it was injected into a second group of seven rats, all developed a fatal disease that looked a lot like vCJD: They developed spongy lesions in the cerebellum and eventually plaques containing misfolded prion protein. Subsequent groups of rats injected with the infected brain material had more pronounced symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction (problems with posture and movement), more extensive plaques with misfolded PrP, and cerebellar lesions.
According to Manuelidis, if a CJD strain can become more virulent as it passes from one rat to another, a similar evolution might be occurring in BSE jumping from cows to people--if the same agent causes vCJD. Therefore, she says, when pathologists examine autopsied brain tissue to chart the incidence of vCJD and other disease variations in people, they might be overlooking cases that exhibit inflammation without misfolded prions. "The bottom line for public health is that [some CJD cases] may not fit into the classification that's currently used," says Manuelidis, who argues that an agent other than misfolded prion proteins may be responsible for vCJD.
Other experts agree that identifying vCJD cases is a challenge. But Manuelidis is overreaching the evidence in suggesting that prions are not to blame, says pathologist Steve DeArmond of the University of California, San Francisco: "In our experience, there is [misfolded PrP] in all CJD cases, if you look hard enough." DeArmond says Manuelidis's results could be explained by insufficient detection methods, rather than by the host organism's response evolving from inflammation into disease.

Eudora evens record at 1-1 with win over St. James
September 12, 2010
After playing the first eight minutes of the game between St. James Academy and Eudora High School, the two schools were forced to vacate the field Friday night at EHS because of inclement weather and did not return to action until 7 p.m. Saturday.
But final 24 minutes of action were much the same for the Cardinals, who successfully opened the new Eudora District Stadium with a 42-6 victory.
Hawley Montgomery returned two interceptions for touchdowns for Eudora and Derek Webb threw for 162 yards and two touchdowns for the Cardinals. Christian Richardson also contributed with two touchdown catches and an interception. Running back Chris Pyle carried most of the load for Eudora, going over 150 yards rushing and a touchdown behind the lead blocking of Boomer Mays.
The Cardinals had a consistent balanced offensive attack that made it difficult for St. James to get any rhythm on either side of the football.
The turnovers helped Eudora run out to a 16-0 lead prior to the rain delay.
The delay gave the St. James a chance regroup, but the Thunder didn't take advantage of it.
St. James receiver Bryan Eisman had a solid game, catching six passes for 92 yards. He almost had a touchdown catch as well. After making a spectacular one-handed grab along the sideline, Eisman began running toward the end zone, but the ball slipped out of his hands just before the goal line.
Another surprise to many in attendance at the brand-new Eudora District Stadium was the passing efficiency of the Cardinals led by Webb. While St. James was able to slow the Cardinals' ground game, Eudora began to air it out.
Eudora (1-1) travels to Spring Hill on Friday.

Congrats on the victory Cards!!!! I wish the story was from the Cardinal prespective.

BELLEVEW, WA - Betty Jean (Vlaskamp) Johnson, 92, formerly of Muncie, Indiana and later of Huntertown, Indiana and Bellevue, Washington, died peacefully Friday evening, March 8, 2013 at Cascade Plaza Retirement Center in Redmond, Washington.
She was born in Muncie, Indiana, the daughter of Arnold Michael Dewitt and Dora Naomi (Grim) Vlaskamp. She spent most of her life in Muncie, moving to Huntertown in 2002, and to Bellevue, Washington in 2004.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Arthur Johnson, a WW II veteran who served with the Navy in the Atlantic. For thirty-two years the couple owned and operated the iconic Johnson's Donut Shop in Muncie, Indiana.
Mrs. Johnson graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1938 and Ball State Teachers College (now Ball State University) in 1942. She worked in the offices of Chevrolet-Muncie during World War II. For many years she was a devoted mother and homemaker with an amazing talent for her unusual hobby, which was "contesting." She entered and consistently won contests that required clever jingles, slogans, or names, resulting in many major and minor prizes, including basketballs for all the children in the neighborhood, as well as a refrigerator, car, and swimming pool over the years.
When her children left for college, Mrs. Johnson began a second career, applying her creativity and writing talents to become an award-winning feature writer for the Muncie Evening Press (now the Star-Press). Her first piece (a nostalgic recollection of her childhood in Muncie) appeared on the front page of the paper, and she continued to write articles that were highly lauded throughout her career. She was especially proud of her First Place Women's Press Club of Indiana Award (1975) and a 1977 First Prize Journalism Award in the Women's Section Category ("Quality Takes More Than a Magic Celery Wand"). Mrs. Johnson also worked as an administrative assistant in the medical office of her aunt, Dr. Elaine Vlaskamp.
As a young woman, Mrs. Johnson studied and taught dance at Marjorie Jean's School of Dance in Muncie, and her love for dance has been passed on to her two children, four grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. In recent years, she loved to entertain her friends and family with her many precise tap dance moves, as well as her "nimble fingers" piano rendition of "On The Ice At Sweet Briar."
Mrs. Johnson was an active member of the Fairlawn Church of Christ in Muncie for many years and served as a World Bible School teacher for several decades. She was known as "Betty Butterfly" to her friends at home and throughout the world.
She is survived by her son, Dr. Philip J. Johnson of Fort Wayne, Indiana; her daughter, Dr. M. Kathleen Shriver of Bellevue, Washington; her parents and sisters, Susan Ann Cook and Alice Marie Peters, preceded her in death.
The family will honor her life in a private service. Memorials may be directed to Fairlawn Church of Christ in Muncie, or South Winds Church of Christ, in Fort Wayne.

Sales of investment and vacation homes jumped in 2011 to their highest levels since 2005, according to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
NAR's 2012 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey shows investment-home sales surged an extraordinary 64.5% to 1.23 million last year from 749,000 in 2010. Vacation-home sales rose 7.0% to 502,000 in 2011 from 469,000 in 2010.
Vacation-home sales accounted for 11% of all transactions last year, up from 10% in 2010, while the portion of investment sales jumped to 27% in 2011 from 17% in 2010.
Vacation homes are recreational properties you buy for your personal use, while investment homes are properties you buy to rent to others.
Investors with cash took advantage of market conditions in 2011, said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.
"During the past year investors have been swooping into the market to take advantage of bargain home prices," he said. "Rising rental income easily beat cash sitting in banks as an added inducement. In addition, 41% of investment buyers purchased more than one property."
Yun said the shift in investment buyer patterns in 2011 shows the market, for the large part, is able to absorb foreclosures hitting the market.
"Small-time investors are helping the market heal since REO (bank real estate owned) inventory is not lingering for an extended period. Any government program to sell REO inventory in bulk to large institutional companies should be limited to small geographic areas. Even where alternatives are needed, it's best to rely on the expertise of local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government," he said.
Cash is king
All-cash purchases have become fairly common in the investment- and vacation-home market during recent years: 49% of investment buyers paid cash in 2011, as did 42% of vacation-home buyers. Half of all investment home purchases in 2011 were distressed homes, as were 39% of vacation homes.
"Clearly we're looking at investors with financial resources who see real estate as a good investment and who aren't hesitant to use cash," Yun said. Of buyers who financed their purchase with a mortgage, large down payments were typical. The median down payment for both investment- and vacation-home buyers in 2011 was 27%.
The survey also found:
- The median investment-home price was $100,000 in 2011, up 6.4% from $94,000 in 2010.
- The median vacation-home price was $121,300, down 19.1% from $150,000 in 2010.
- The average investment-home buyer is 50 years old, earns $86,100, and bought a home that was relatively close to their primary residence — a median distance of 25 miles, although 30% were more than 100 miles away.
"The share of investment buyers who flipped property remained low in 2011, and many of those homes likely were renovated before reselling," Yun said.
Five percent of homes purchased by investment buyers last year have already been resold, up from 2% in 2010. The typical investment buyer plans to hold the property for a median of 5 years, down from 10 years for buyers in 2010.
- The typical vacation-home buyer was 50 years old, earns $88,600, and purchased a property 305 miles away from his home; 35% of vacation homes were within 100 miles and 37% were more than 500 miles. Buyers plan to own their recreational property for a median of 10 years.
- Eighty-two percent of vacation-home buyers bought the home to use for family vacations, 30% plan to live there in the future, and 22% plan to rent to other.
- Half of investment buyers bought the property to generate rental income, and 34% wanted to diversify their investments or saw a good investment opportunity.
- Sixteen percent of vacation buyers and 14% of investment buyers purchased the property for a family member, friend, or relative to use. In many cases the home is intended for a son or daughter to use while attending school.
- Eight out of 10 second-home buyers said it was a good time to buy. Nearly half of investment buyers said they were likely to purchase another property within two years, as did one-third of vacation-home buyers.
Currently, 42.1 million people in the U.S. are ages 50-59 — a group that has dominated second-home sales since the middle part of the past decade. An additional 43.5 million people are 40-49 years old, while another 40.2 million are 30-39.
"Given that the number of people who are in their 40s is somewhat larger than the 50-somethings, the long-term demographic demand for purchasing vacation homes is favorable because these younger households are likely to enter the market as their desire for these kinds of properties grows, and individual circumstances allow," Yun said.
NAR's analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows there are 8.0 million vacation homes and 42.8 million investment units in the U.S., compared with 75.3 million owner-occupied homes.

Information For Buyers
Home ownership has economic benefits and more!
The economic benefits of homeownership are well known. From tax incentives and building equity to the boost the housing sector provides to the overall economy, it is no surprise that owning a home continues to be an essential element of the American dream.
In addition to the financial benefits, homeownership has also been proven to offer substantial social benefits for families, communities and the country. The most recent evidence appears in a new report from the National Association of Realtors, called "Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing."
Some of the report's notable findings include:
Stronger Communities: Homeowners move far less frequently than renters. They are therefore embedded in the same neighborhood and community for longer, allowing for a high level of social cohesion.
Higher Educational Achievement: Research shows that students whose parents are homeowners tend to stay in school, have access to more educational opportunities, and have an overall better educational outcome than children of renters, who tend to change schools more frequently.
Better Well-Being: Homeowners report higher self-esteem and happiness than renters, which results in better overall physical and psychological health.
Lower Crime Rates: Because they are vested financially and emotionally, homeowners are more motivated to deter crime by getting involved in voluntary crime prevention programs.

Hmmm, with Gary and Jim possibly having more time on their hands, maybe they could be the guests of honor, or contempt, depending upon on how things shake out, with our first mover and a shaker. If GWM succeeds (and I hope that they do), they can have a place of honor, at the head table, and they can be praised. If not, well, they can occupy the dunk tank, where imo,each share of GWM could be worth one throw each. Either way, an enjoyable party for the rest of the guests the way I see it. Looking forward to some clarity, and positive developments, SOON!
