Students choose Barack Obama, Jay Inslee in mock election
November 27, 2012
Students statewide and in the Issaquah School District chose the same candidates as grown-up voters — Barack Obama for president and Jay Inslee for governor.
The exercise included 38,848 students statewide, including classes at Cascade Ridge Elementary, Endeavour Elementary, Sunset Elementary, Pine Lake Middle and Issaquah High schools in the Issaquah School District.
The number of students participating statewide shattered the record for participation — about 18,000 students — set in 2008.

Students cast ballots online from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, and then Secretary of State Sam Reed's office posted the results online. The results in the statewide Student Mock Election reflected the outcome in the real election, albeit with different margins.
Newcastle actor's film debut is 'All I Want is Christmas'
November 6, 2012
Newcastle actor Ashton Herrild isn't mean or rude, but that may be hard to believe for audiences who saw him star as the bully Scut Farkus in The 5th Avenue Theatre's 2010 production of "A Christmas Story, The Musical!"
The 15-year-old Liberty High School sophomore is a hardworking student who enjoys doing a little acting on the side.
But for some reason, the charismatic teen keeps getting cast as an antagonist.
"I think it comes with the red hair," he said as he smiled and pointed to his ginger locks. "You see a lot of movies with red-haired bullies just because they may be different."
Fortunately, Ashton doesn't mind, and it's a good thing because he was cast as Jack the Jerk in his film debut, "All I Want is Christmas."
Issaquah High School graduates embark on trip of a lifetime
October 2, 2012
The transition between college graduation and the rest of one's life can be an uncertain time as students enter the job market and walk down the path to true adulthood.
So, three recent Western Washington University graduates with strong Issaquah roots decided that now was as good a time as any to head off on the trip of a lifetime, before a career gets in the way.
Matt Benson, Justin Kay and Andrew Baer have been friends since elementary school and the three have remained close through their time at Pine Lake Middle School, Issaquah High School and finally, Western Washington University.
The 2008 Issaquah grads will travel to Europe on a monthlong excursion, visiting England, France, Germany, Spain, and possibly the Netherlands and Italy.
Spurred by Skyline threat, absences jump 70 percent at other schools
September 25, 2012
Student attendance in the Issaquah School District tumbled Sept. 20, and absences spiked by 70 percent, as police investigated a shooting threat against Skyline High School.
District administrators decided late Sept. 19 to close Skyline the next day in response to the online threat and keep other campuses open. Staffers and students at other schools felt the ripples early.
Spurred by Skyline threat, absences jump 70 percent at Issaquah schools
September 20, 2012
NEW — 6:15 p.m. Sept. 20, 2012
Student attendance in the Issaquah School District tumbled Thursday, and absences spiked by 70 percent, as police investigated a shooting threat against Skyline High School.
District administrators decided late Wednesday to close Skyline on Thursday and keep other campuses open. Staffers and students at other schools felt the ripples early.
Districtwide, absences increased at 18 of 25 schools Thursday, although not every instance is attributable to the Skyline threat.
Officials counted 1,158 students absent Thursday, up from 680 a week earlier, Sept. 13, according to a comparison of attendance data. The district serves about 17,000 students from Preston to Newcastle, and from Sammamish to Renton.
Issaquah School District receives state energy grants
June 12, 2012
The Issaquah School District has been awarded energy grants totaling $120,084, according to the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
"In addition to helping create jobs, it will help the district move forward with work that will reduce energy consumption and improve the learning and working environments," Capital Projects Director Steve Crawford said in a statement. "The annual savings from this grant combined with our 2011 grant work will save the district a little over $200,000 a year in operational costs … especially significant as it is a reduction in general fund operational costs, which compete with classroom funding."
The grants are intended to produce long-term energy and operational savings for the district, improve the indoor environmental qualities of schools and help stimulate construction-industry jobs. The energy projects use utility incentives, energy savings, local money and grant funds to make improvements that may otherwise not be affordable. The OSPI awarded $5.9 million in energy grants to 14 school districts throughout the state.
Secrets lie at the heart of the Porters' 50-year marriage
May 29, 2012
Keeping secrets is part of what has kept Jack and Beverly Porter together for 50 years.
During the Sammamish couple's half-century marriage, Jack spent 12 years as a contractor for the CIA. The pair faced the challenge of keeping Jack's career identity secret from their five children and friends. In those 12 years, no one knew except for Beverly. The couple explained that sharing the secret made them stronger.
"We were in it together," Beverly said.
The Porters are about to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Looking back, they attribute the longevity of their relationship to their children, their faith and a pair of other important factors.
"There are two ingredients," Jack said about his martial success, "patience and a sense of humor."
The couple met in October 1961. Jack, then a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, was working as a sales representative for the American Can Co. He was transferred to Seattle, where he met Beverly, a North Dakota native who had recently moved to the Lake Hills area of Bellevue with her family.
One year later, on June 2, 1962, the couple was married at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Bellevue.
Pine Lake Middle School welcomes new principal
May 29, 2012
Pine Lake Middle School will soon welcome a new principal. Beginning July 1, Michelle Caponigro will take over for retiring Principal Roy Adler. Caponigro has served as the school's assistant principal for the past seven years.
"Parents and staff want a principal leader who is compassionate and personable and able to seamlessly continue the culture of excellent student achievement, collaboration, professional development and instructional leadership that has always been a hallmark of Pine Lake Middle School," Superintendent Steve Rasmussen wrote in an announcement to the community May 22. "We have found that leader in Michelle Caponigro."
Adler, who is on medical leave, announced his plans to retire earlier this month. Since then, he has continued working with staff and Caponigro by phone. In a letter to families, Adler said his retirement will allow him to focus on his family and recovery. This year marks Adler's 41st year in public education; 11 of those years have been at Pine Lake.
"Pine Lake is a school I couldn't just walk away from. Something life changing had to happen to facilitate that," he wrote. "No educator could ask for more than to serve this community. It has been a privilege, not a job."
Preliminary timeline is in place for school, fields construction
May 15, 2012
Issaquah School District officials are wasting no time when it comes to putting their recently approved $219 million bond into action.
The school board reviewed a preliminary schedule of projects and timeline for school construction and other district upgrades at its May 9 meeting. Some projects could begin as soon as July and other smaller projects extend through the end of 2019.
"Somebody has to be first and somebody has to be last," said Jacob Kuper, chief operations officer for the district.
Phase 2 construction of Liberty High School and Phase 2 at Maywood Middle School are first in line with finishes projected by the end of 2013. At the caboose of the tentative timeline of the larger projects is the reconstruction of Sunny Hills Elementary School, which wouldn't finish until December 2018.

Respond to Review of Lotus Vegetarian
by simpsonyellow
Review: I've been a regular customer at this low frills, vegan-friendly place for about 10 years and, until recently, it was hands down a 5-happy-cow establishment. On buffet nights, I was regularly treated to the delights of 'Beef' Rendang, Curry Kapitan, and Nonya Eggplant. Things seem to have changed for the worse in the last year or two, however, and the last time I went, the buffet was a major disappointment. Gone were the richly flavoured faux meat stir fries and curries, replaced by *very* basic stir fries, pastas, and what appeared to be cold McCain / Birdseye potato wedges! Not quite what you'd expect from Nonya cuisine. The place is still owned and operated by the same people that served me up delicious veggie fare week after week for nearly a decade, so I can only imagine there's been a bit of cost-cutting experimentation going on with the buffet lately. A real shame, as this will definitely turn off first time customers. The buffet includes water, juices, soft drinks and dessert though, so there's still some value to be had. The very friendly owners don't spend quite as much time at the restaurant as in previous years, and the service has suffered a little as a result. The current staff is still fine, but not as warm or attentive as a few years back. As far as I know, the a la carte menu hasn't changed much, so I'd recommend sticking to that, and trying out some of the dishes I mentioned above - at least until the buffet returns to its previous standard. At the moment, I'd give White Lotus about 3.5 happy cows, but I'll round it up to 4 because I know what they're capable of. It's also worth mentioning that the adjoining Vegetarian Market is outstanding, especially for lovers of faux meat / seafood.

Trend Alert: Volumized Updos at the 2009 Grammys
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
When it comes to awards shows, anything music-related usually brings out edgier style, and last night's looks at the Grammys were no exception. While some were good, others were bad — and, let's face it, some veered toward the fug. Whether it was on the side or up high or really high, we saw an abundance of volume last night. Will you be duplicating any of these styles?

Anyone else hyped for Destiny?AlteredVista Jun 14, 2014 6:23 PM
A lot of people are simply selling this game short with comparisons. I've heard comparisons to Halo, Call of Duty, Titanfall, Shadowrun, Borderlands, Skryim, and WOW. In some ways, those comparisons are accurate. Destiny takes a lot of little elements from other games. Ultimately though it feels very unique and I honestly think it's good enough to be GOTY material.
It doesn't just slap ideas together. It takes and builds on ideas from other games. For example, Destiny has a loot system similar to Diablo or Borderlands where guns are listed in tiers. However, unlike Borderlands, Destiny has a pretty in depth upgrade system which include choices similar to COD's attachment system (scopes, barrel types, ect). You have armor pieces which are both cosmetic as well as have attributes attached to them...these can also be upgraded. You can unlock shaders which are basically camos. Higher level gear has been mostly locked in the alpha, but each tier appears to allow for more upgrades.
The PVP feels pretty fast paced, and the slightly longer killtimes makes camping less effective. There is no view kick or flinch in gunfights so gunskill comes down to your ability to control the recoil. The jump abilities are unique to each class and each can be upgraded several ways to enhance it to your playstyle. We have only seen two maps and one gametypes. The gametype is a fusion of TDM and Domination. One of the maps had combat vehicles and MG turrets, while the other was just players vs players. On the vehicle map you can always call in your non combat vehicle at any time if you want to get somewhere fast.
They kept the idea of power weapons from Halo through ammo drops. When you bring your Heavy weapons into PVP you will have zero ammo. Ammo is relayed in static drops which a player must then acquire as a map pickup. If you die the heavy ammo is dropped from your body for someone to pick up. Special/secondary ammo is limited and also acquired in drops, but stays with you through death. However, if you change your secondary weapon mid game you will lose your current ammo. Only the primary ammo refreshes upon death. You have super abilities which slowly refill (very slow), but streaks will fill them up much faster.
Here's an example of PVP from a MLG Halo player:
Destiny Warlock 25-0 LEGEND TROLL - YouTube
Besides PVP, there will be end game content like Strikes and Raids. Strikes are meant to take about 30 minutes to complete and are mini dungeons with bosses. Raids will be insane end game content with more dynamic elements and much harder AI than Strikes. Bungie has said it took their playtest team 16 hours to complete one. For people who are only interested in campaign...it is there. It will have cutscenes and our character will be shown with all its customized armor and looks.
When exploring in free roam mode there will be times you encounter enemies far higher level than you. Also, there are hidden caves which might be hidden in dark spots or require you to jump off a ramp to reach. It does have a bit of a Skyrim feeling at times with the depth of exploration. The alpha has only shown one location on Earth (and some of it is blocked off). The final game will span four planets each having multiple locations. It's just insane how big this game will be when it comes out. I really can not wait.

The design is well thought out and very practical. The Bible compartment fits my Bible well. (Thompson Chain Reference Bible) The second back compartment has enough room to accommodate all of the accessories I use when I study the Bible. (Markers, book markers, magnifier, an additional note book, etc.) Sturdy Velcro keeps the compartment closed securely when not in use, and my Bible accessories do not fall out. The fold out flap with the notepad makes taking notes easy. The zippers are of good quality. The embroidered cross on the front adds a nice decorative touch to the cover.
I found the marking pen and magnifier good, but did not like the color of the one of the dry markers. I would have preferred this marker to be in another color other than pink. (The color of the other marker is yellow)
Overall, a very good product at an affordable price. This product is a good Bible cover to order for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

Contacted Stephen. He answered right away, and was very helpful unlike most attorneys I've talked to over the phone. He listened to my situation and gave me very useful information without any hassle. Outstanding experience and will be using Stephen as my defense attorney. Highly recommended.

Brodsky slayed the DAs office for me. I thought I was looking at years in state prison, losing my job, my family, my house, my boat, everything... Brodsky looked between the lines, saw the truth and got my case thrown out. Brodsky is the MAN!!!
Posted by a client
Steve Brodsky took my case a little over year ago and got me a result I am 100% sure no other attorney in CA, maybe even the US would have been able to get me. Other attorneys just wanted to listen to me for 5-10 mins then rattle me off a quote to see if I would bite. Steve took the time to hear my whole story and developed an aggressive defense before retainer fees were even brought up. Don't waste your money and time on FAKE defense lawyers. Take my advise and fond someone sincere and trustworthy
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I highly recommend Steve Brodsky. I wish we would have met on better terms because you are a great human being and a better attorney. Thank you for everything you did for me and my family.

I needed help with a probation modification assesment and Mr. Brodsky was very nice to provide knowledge and experience in assisting with my decision to move to a foreign land. It's great to be able to get feedback and expertise when trying to be prepared about decisions we make, Mr Brodsky helped me out. Thanks

Stephen Brodsky is as good as it gets. Agressive, Sincere, and experienced. Hiring Brodsky for my case was the best decision I ever made!!!
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
When I first came to Brodsky's office, I was scared, confused, and intimidated by the whole situation I put myself in. Stephen was patient, knowlegable, and showed a genuine care for my job and life. He is a great criminal defense lawyer!
Posted by sandy
Over all my experience with Criminal Defense Legal Center was a refreshing one. Mr. Brodsky was very professional, knowledgeable and well versed in the courtroom. I was residing out of state at the time of my case, which added yet another complication to an already unusual circumstance. The Criminal Defense Legal Center handle my case quickly and efficiently, and most important the final outcome was one I was pleased with.
Posted by George
Counsulted with Mr. Brodsky. He had excellent advice. Gave me peace of mind. I would recomend him to anyone i need of a great attorney.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I have never been in any legal trouble in my life, but the week before I moved across the country I was charged with a rather absurd charge. I frantically contacted Stephen and he was able to meet with me the next day. He explained the process and all potential outcomes and answered all of my questions. His team helped calm my nerves and promised to do everything they could to make sure I didn't lose my job because of this issue. Stephen and his team represented me in court so I did not have to worry about traveling back to California for any of the court dates. During each step of the process I was informed what happened and what was next. If I had a question or concern I could always reach either Stephen or one of his associates on the phone (if I had to leave a message, they were always returned within hours). In the end, my charges were dropped and I didn't lose my job, which was Stephen's goal from our first meeting. I would definitely recommend Stephen to anyone needing legal representation.

Wheelchair class photo: Mother "Heartbroken" Over Son's Placement in School Portrait. The parents of a boy who has spinal muscular dystrophy were upset when a school photo shows him completely separated from his classmates.
The parents wanted the picture retaken and they got their wishes!
The company that took the photo did return and take a new one, with the boy sitting with his classmates.
The original photo shows 7-year-old Miles Ambridge sitting in his wheelchair several feet away from the rest of his second grade class in New Westminister, British Columbia.
'Being picked on and being set aside is horrendous and this was what was happening,' said Mrs Belanger, of New Westminster, British Columbia.
She said that being in a wheelchair comes with an additional set of challenges for Miles, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at 13 months, a genetic disease that attacks nerve cells in the spinal cord.
Miles' father Don Ambridge, who saw the photo first, was appalled and demanded that Herbert Spencer Elementary School ask the company to retake the picture.
The school have not yet commented on the class photo.
Belanger told the Toronto Star that discrimination was still a daily issue for people with disabilities and she wanted to shed light on the stigma surrounding it.
'This was not a malicious act, I don't think it was done on purpose. I just don't think there was any rational thinking behind it,' Belanger said.
Miles' parents have decided not to show the picture to their son.

What you say when you're in the middle of a story and realize no one's listening.
I'm sitting at the dinner table, telling my girlfriends family about how we met. As I'm getting to the funny part, i realize no one's listening, so i abruptly finish with "and then i fucked her up the ass!"

When you get the great idea to start making ToDo lists at work, of which's items only a fraction get done. As the list grows after a few days, weeks, whatever, you begin to realize you've made a huge list of things you intended to do but never got done.
Every morning at work, I add more things I should do to my didn't do list, then go on an hour and a half coffee break to flirt with the girl downstairs and otherwise waste company time.

Don't eat for two warningComment on this story
Overweight women are being warned by doctors not to "eat for two" during pregnancy.
Experts have become concerned about the increasing numbers of mothers-to-be who are overweight or obese at the start of their pregnancy.
This increases the risk of complications for both mother and child.
Guidance published by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that while most who are overweight will have a straightforward pregnancy, the heavier a woman is, the higher the risk of complications such as blood clots and high blood pressure.
Those with a BMI over 35 need to be under the care of a doctor rather than a midwife.
The guidance urges pregnant women to base their meals on starchy foods such as potatoes, rice and pasta, choosing wholegrain options.
"Watch the portion size of your meals and snacks and how often you eat," it says. "Do not 'eat for two'." – Daily Mail

Pursuant to Judicial Conference of the United States policy, access to all case-related
documents must be through the PACER system.
Public Access to Court Electronic Records
(PACER) is a service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from
federal appellate, district and bankruptcy courts, and the PACER Case Locator via
the Internet.
PACER users must register
for an account. Access to court documents costs $0.10 per page. The cost to access
a single document is capped at $3.00, the equivalent of 30 pages. The cap does not
apply to name searches, reports that are not case-specific and transcripts of federal
court proceedings. If your usage does not exceed $15 in a quarter, fees for that
quarter are waived, effectively making PACER free for most users. PACER is provided
by the federal judiciary in keeping with its commitment to providing public access
to court information via a centralized service.
Please note there may be a 24-hour delay from the time of filing until the document
is available on the PACER System.
Yes. See Case Management Order Nos. 12 and 20 (available via the MDL 2545 website) for details. In any case filed in this district, the complaint MUST be a Short Form Complaint. No other complaint is permitted. The filer should also designate the case as related to Case No. 17 CV 1748 in the appropriate space on the Civil Cover Sheet.
There are currently two ways lawsuits can get to this MDL: (1) you can file your lawsuit in another District before it is transferred to this District; or (2) you can directly file a lawsuit in this District under the terms of the direct filing order (Case Management Order No. 12). The procedure for filing a lawsuit involves the filing of a Civil Cover Sheet and Complaint and having Summonses issued for each Defendant.
Directly Filed Complaints: When filing a new complaint, NEVER FILE THE NEW COMPLAINT UNDER THE MASTER CASE NUMBER (14 CV 1748). The proper procedure for directly filing new complaints in the Northern District of Illinois is outlined in Case Management Order Nos. 3, 12, and 20, which are available via the MDL 2545 web page. Procedures for opening a new civil case may be found at the following address: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/home/_assets/_documents/Opening%20a%20Civil%20Case%20in%20CMECF.pdf.
All new complaints are filed like any other new complaint in the Northern District of Illinois, with two important differences:
Per CMO 20: A newly filed complaint MUST be a Short Form Complaint. No other complaint is permitted.
Per CMO No. 3: Designate on the Civil Cover Sheet that the new complaint is related to Judge Kennelly's Case No. 14 CV 1748. (See Section IX. ("RELATED CASES") section of the Sample Civil Cover Sheet attached to CMO No. 3 and blank form at http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/public/forms/js44-05.pdf )
Complaints Filed in Other Districts: Please be advised that in accordance with Case Management Order No. 20, you must file a Short Form Complaint within 30 days after the date of transfer to the Northern District of Illinois.

And then aliens land in special olympics instead It´s like how americans see White House as best place for first contact, but Aliens land in some little native village or small "unimportant" country instead for first official contact. It is entertaining thought, because of disappointment from people, who think they are somehow more important than others.
But it would be great, if aliens would make real open contact this year!

This is the year aliens make themselves known or we visit ourselfs from the futre becuase in the timeloop this is when that type of technology becuase of Cern and other projects becomes possible. I know I feel it in my gut I always knew ever since I was a boy they would come and I am 30 years old now they are comming expect it end of July to Aug 30th its whats next society is ready. building ships like in star trek start right after first contact. It will also fix the the world economy with a renewed space race. Get ready I am never wrong I have a third eye and a sixth sense.

We have no chance of having any sort of meaningful conversation or exchange of information with cockroaches and insects. We take cats and dogs as pets and still try to have some sort of understanding with them.

Installing distros on USB sticks with Unetbootin
All told, Unetbootin is not just a convenient piece of software but a pretty mature one, too. However, nothing is perfect. For example, you still might not be able to install certain distributions. As a case in point, in our lab, we had trouble installing the SliTaz operating system, although Puppy Linux, Elive, and a KDE 4 Live version based on openSUSE worked fine. If the automated installation does not work, you can always try downloading the image manually from the web page and following the steps for the manual install.

England have called up Middlesbrough defender David Wheater and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart as late additions to their squad for Wednesday's FIFA World Cup™ qualifier with Belarus in Minsk.
The pair flew straight to Minsk late on Tuesday after helping the England U-21 side reach next summer's European Championship finals in Sweden at the expense of Wales. They were set to join up with Fabio Capello's squad for a training session on the morning of the match.
Wheater comes in as cover at centre-back, where England are without injured captain John Terry, while Hart's inclusion follows the withdrawal of West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green.

I just started working with this theme and am totally new to wordpress. So I'll ask one question at a time. how do I change the text at the top left-hand side of my homepage, above the header. It currently reads "Messages to Love, Spirituality and Transformation" (which can be seen here: http://messagestolove.com/).
thanks in advance. Stefanie

It's been a fruitful weekend onboard HUGO BOSS. We have been able to reduce the deficit to the leader, Paprec Virbac, by 100Nm. Not only this but it is also finally beginning to warm up, as we head north towards the Australian safety gate. The sea temperature is up to around 6 degrees and this morning we had some blue sky and bright sunshine, the first for what seems like weeks!
Dawn on Hugo Boss - Barcelona World Race©
To be honest though, it probably has been at least a week since we have seen some sun. We have had some bad news, as it looks like our heater issue is terminal despite the best efforts of our mate Toby from Keto Ltd. It would seem that the glow plug has stopped working and without the 600C temperature that it produces, the fuel will not ignite. Capey has yet to put his mind to it so I remain ever hopeful that heat will return. In the meantime, we will consider the saved fuel as a reserve.
We moved into second place by default at the end of last week; due to a failed engine onboard Veolia Environnement that forced it to stop at the Kerguelen islands. It has cost them about 800Nm, but I am pleased that my old friend Bilou is back in the race (update: Veoila Environment has since been dismasted).
Meanwhile, onboard HUGO BOSS we have been making great speed, however it has not been without cost. Downtime when the speeds are good can be very expensive in terms on losing distance to the other competitors and must be avoided at all costs. A few days ago I noticed that our working jib, which we call the J2 (our second biggest headsail), had a tear two thirds of the way up it. This jib is permanently fixed to the forstay on a roller furler. We had lashed the sail at the top and bottom as it does not usually need to come down, however now that it did I had to take a trip up the mast. Six hours later and after lots of stress, Capey and I had taken it down and replaced it with the spare. We had spent a long time debating whether or not to bring a spare, and all I can say is that we are pretty happy we did! We will now repair it to be ready for action, should it be needed again.
We managed some R&R at the end of last week but with the arrival of lighter winds and the need to sail with a spinnaker we were back to the two hours on, two hours off watch system. Having taken six hours to fix the J2, and made a couple of sail changes we were both pretty starved of sleep, so we are now concentrating on keeping ourselves in good nick for the days to come. Once we reach the next safety gate we will hopefully gybe and head south again, while we work out the best route up to New Zealand. We are almost level with Perth now, and it makes me feel like we have come a long way; but we are only about halfway through!

- Indeterminate Sentence
- A prison sentence that consists of a range of years (such as "five to ten years"). The state parole board holds hearings that determine when, during that range, the convicted person will be eligible for parole. The principle behind indeterminate sentences is the hope that prison will rehabilitate some prisoners; those who show the most progress will be paroled closer to the minimum term than those who do not.

Art Print by Wassily Kandinsky | #427435
Art Print by Wassily Kandinsky | #427435
An original fine art litho poster published by Tate. Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstract painting and worked with geometrical forms from the mid 1920s. Although it makes no reference to the outside world, his work summons up the exciting rhythms of contemporary life. The title of this painting conveys a sense of dynamic movement. Ironically, Kandinsky's move into abstraction came in response to his feelings of revulsion at the materialism of modern life. An art freed from the depiction of objects seemed to offer a solution to his spiritual crisis.
This high quality print was produced on fine art paper providing beautiful colours and impressive detail.
You're in good company when you buy from King & McGaw.

Definitions for tree of life
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word tree of life
Tree of life
The tree of life in the Book of Genesis is a tree planted by the Abrahamic God in midst of the Garden of Eden, whose fruit gives everlasting life, i.e. immortality. Together with the tree of life, God planted the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. According to some scholars, however, these are in fact two names for the same tree. In the biblical story, the serpent, who is regarded as Satan in Christianity but not in Judaism, tempted Eve into eating a fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve and Adam both ate the fruit, despite God's warning to Adam that "in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die". As a consequence of their transgression, the land, the Serpent, Adam, and Eve were each cursed by God. To prevent them access to the tree of life, God cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden: In the Book of Revelation, a Koine Greek phrase xylon zōës, ξύλον ζωής, is mentioned three times. This phrase, which is also used for the Genesis tree of life in the Ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, literally means "wood of life". It is translated in nearly every English Bible version as "tree of life", see Revelation 2:7, 22:2, and 22:19.

1981 Dodge Ram • 64,000 miles
My 81 dodge w150 is not getting spark ive replaced the coil, cap, rotor, wires, and plugs but still no spark wondering what could be wrong
July 17, 2012.
July 17, 2012.
Ground the coil wire and crank engine over are you getting spark? Let me know
Could you further explain I just know basics not a very good mechanic yet just learning
Disconnect the coil wire on the distributor and have helper crank engine over -you ground the coil wire to a good ground point and see if you get a snapping blue spark. Also review this link: http://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start
Another question on the coil would the positive side have wires running to the distributor or would that be negative
There's wire from the coil going back to the distributor both pos and neg-see below
The pick-up and the ICM is inside the distributor
Note: I suggest you get a repair manual-

"All" Teams
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 03:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated,
SI senior writer Michael Farber picked his three NHL Dream Teams—one for the best of all time, one that will win right now and one built for five years from now. How did Farber do? What changes would you make to his lineups?
The instinct is to include center John Tavares, who broke Wayne Gretzky's Ontario Hockey League scoring record as a 16-year-old last season, and Carey Price, the goalie who led Hamilton to the Calder Cup this spring, but there are mitigating factors in both cases.
read on and I am pointing to the future team. To see the others, look at the tabs at the top of the page at SI.

Anaheim Ducks star Teemu Selanne will make his decision on whether to retire in two weeks.
According to Finnish website Iltalehti.fi, Selanne will return to North America from Finland in two weeks. By the time he hits the ground, his mind will have been made up.
"We're going there for a holiday or to play," Selanne told the site. "I will make my decision before we return."

Radio Daze In D.C.

from Ted Leonsis via the NHL Fanhouse,
My bet is that the blogosphere built around the Washington Capitals is now much, much bigger in terms of aggregate circulation than the two sports radio stations combined here in the DC area. I will do some research and then we should all convene a meeting to discuss how we form a more formal keiretsu. There will be power in numbers. Out with the old, in with the new!
more on a developing story about D.C. sports radio and… well, read on...
I would hope other NHL teams would take what Ted said to heart and begin to develop relationships with hockey bloggers in their town!

Tocchet Get Two Years Probation
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 10:39 AM ET

from TSN,
Former National Hockey League player and Phoenix Coyotes associate coach Rick Tocchet received his sentence on Friday morning, as he was convicted on third degree conspiracy to promote gambling and third degree promoting gambling.
Tocchet, who appeared in Superior Court on Friday morning in New Jersey as a first-time offender, received two years probation on each count and will not serve jail time.
My understanding is the NHL will be releasing a statement on this situation. I will post it here when available.
update 11:10am,
"In light of today's events, Mr. Cleary is now in a position to conclude his independent investigation. Once the Commissioner receives Mr. Cleary's
report, it is probable that he will want to meet with Mr. Tocchet before making a determination."

Goals For Vs. Goals Against
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 10:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from On the Forecheck,
The basic idea was that by looking at the ratio between each team's Goals For and Goals Against totals, you get a good idea of where their actual Winning Percentage will end up. The presumption there is that a team's overall ability to score and prevent goals is more constant than the bounces and breaks that can decide individual game results, and over the course of 82 games the "luck" will even out to a large extent.
This summer, I thought I'd revisit that analysis, to answer a few questions.
1. Did I just get lucky, or is PythagenPuck actually a better indicator than actual Winning Percentage of where teams stand during the early part of the season?
2. At what point does it make sense to do this kind of analysis? After 10 games, 20, 30…?

Nolan's Son Denied Entry Into Canada
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 10:10 AM ET

from the Winnipeg Sun,
What everybody wants to know is what it was about former Manitoba Moose player Brandon Nolan that border officers at the crossing at the Ivy Lea Bridge, between Brockville and Kingston, Ont., didn't like?
Whatever it was for almost two hours Monday, Nolan, 24, property of the Carolina Hurricanes, was a man without a country.
"It was really weird," Nolan said in an interview yesterday. "As a citizen in this country, I was kicked out of my country."
Or at least not let back in.
The the eldest son of New York Islanders coach Ted Nolan was returning to his own home in Whitby with his girlfriend Stephanie Antalfy from his parent's home on Long Island in New York when he pulled his dad's BMW up to the border point near Landsowne, Ont.
A routine questioning at the border seems to have turned into something that may end up going before the Human Rights Commission.

Mark Bell Confident In Lifestyle Change
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 09:10 AM ET

from the Toronto Star,
Bell will not talk about the carnage of twisted metal on the road and what led up to it. Partly, he said, because of his desire to put it behind him and partly because of pending legal issues.
He faces a lawsuit from the other driver, but he said he's "not concerned at all" about it.
Bell said he could see his career slipping away because of his irresponsibility and vowed to alter his life and the crowd he hung out with.
He realized he had to grow up.
That included the decision to swear off alcohol, a lifestyle choice he said he made without professional help.
"It's been a learning experience this whole past year. I feel I've really grown as a person. I'm very confident in the way I live my life now. It's taking one step at a time," he said.

St. Louis Get An "A"

from the St. Petersburg Times,
It should make for a balanced leadership mix then, as St. Louis next season will wear an A on his jersey and join Lecavalier and Richards as alternate captains.
St. Louis' first NHL letter comes as captain Tim Taylor prepares for hip surgery that could sideline him all season.
General manager Jay Feaster said Taylor will remain captain as he rehabs with the team and St. Louis gets public recognition for a strong leadership role that has been behind the scenes.
"This is a natural extension of the leadership in the room already," Feaster said. "He's a veteran who has delivered in the clutch on a consistent basis. And certainly, when Marty St. Louis speaks, he has the respect of the other guys in the room."

Tax Money May Be Needed To Keep Preds In Nashville
by Paul on 08/17/07 at 08:04 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Tennessean,
If taxpayers don't pay an additional $3 million per year to support the Nashville Predators hockey arena, a deal to keep the team in town could fall apart, the leader of a local buyers group said Thursday.
David Freeman, CEO of 36 Venture Capital and leader of the group, said the partners are working with the city to have the public money come from sources like sales tax generated by the hockey team.
"We are trying to identify revenue streams that reflect incentives associated with having the Predators in town," Freeman said. "For example, sales tax revenues generated out of the arena are an appropriate revenue stream to consider donating to this cause because those revenues would disappear without the team."
Freeman's comments came late in the day, after Tennessean.com reported on a city analysis that said the buyers group was seeking Sommet Center lease changes that would cost taxpayers $5 million more per year at the city-owned facility.
added 11:59am, from the Tennessean,
The Predators have surpassed last season's season ticket total.
The team finished Thursday with a total of 8,764 full-season ticket equivalents, topping the 8,758 the Predators finished with in 2005-06.
Predators vice president Steve Violetta said he feels confident Nashville can hit the 9,000 level by Labor Day, and added that ticket sales traditionally pick up in September, just before the season starts.

Time For Cammalleri To Step-Up
by Paul on 08/16/07 at 10:20 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Rich Hammond of Inside the Kings,
Now, it's time for some of the younger guys to step forward, and Cammalleri's name is at the top of that list. Lombardi said it himself, in so many words. Goals are nice, but a guy like Cammalleri also has to take responsibility for winning and losing, and now's the time for that.
Based on what I've seen, it's coming. Under Murray, Cammalleri was a bit bland in public, most likely because he was afraid to say the wrong thing. Last year he seemed to become a bit more confident and is always available in the dressing room to be a team spokesman. That's important, as far as team leadership. At the end of last season, Mike was very vocal about his optimism for the future and his belief in the young players.
more, including the recent arbitraion ruling should be a motivating factor for Cammalleri…

Archbishop Says Americans Ready to Defend Marriage Despite Laws
3 States in Just Over a Week Redefine Marriage
Washington, D.C., (ZENIT.org) | 2063 hits
"It is the height of irony that the Minnesota legislature decided, and the governor signed into law, the redefinition of marriage just after we celebrated the unique gifts of mothers and women on Mother's Day," said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, chairman of the US bishops' Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.
The archbishop said the decision "also renders senseless the very idea of President Obama's National Fatherhood Initiative, in that a bill now becomes law in Minnesota that effectively claims that a mother and a father together are superfluous and can be replaced by two men or two women."
Archbishop Cordileone noted that Minnesota is the third state in just over a week to redefine marriage in the law.
"There are many of us Americans, including many Minnesotans, who stand for the natural and true meaning of marriage. They know that men and women are important; their complementary difference matters, their union matters, and it matters to kids. Mothers and fathers are simply irreplaceable," he said. "Instead of strengthening, the Minnesota legislature's decision to redefine marriage weakens motherhood and fatherhood, and so strikes a blow to all children who deserve both a mother and father."
"Some wish to believe that sexual relationships outside of the marital context of husband and wife are innocuous, choosing to ignore the fact that they are actually harmful to individuals and to society as a whole," he added.
"We know that now is the time to redouble our prayers, efforts and witness. The truth of marriage is not going away," Archbishop Cordileone said. "We know what it takes to work toward a culture of life even in the midst of laws that work against us. The same is true for rebuilding a culture of marriage. No matter what the horizon may bring, we will continue in charity and truth to stand for justice and for the most vulnerable among us."
The Minnesota law highlights further implications of marriage redefinition in the law. For example, the law states that terms such as "husband," "wife," "mother," and "father" that denote spousal and familial relationships in Minnesota law are to apply equally to persons in an opposite-sex or same-sex relationship. The law also states that "parentage presumptions based on civil marriage" will also apply, thus allowing for children to have two mothers or two fathers.

Today's Christmas cd/A Holiday Celebration
The adjective for this music is "stirring." It stirs the soul, as well as warming the heart. Those voices are like no others. The harmonies are perfect. The choice of songs are not the typical holiday fare, such as A Soalin', The Friendly Beasts, and The Cherry Tree Carol. And it ends with their signature song, perfect for this season of compassion and peace, Dylan's Blowin' In The Wind. I cry every time I hear it.
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn't see?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?

Oh I love that CD, actually I love just about anything Peter, Paul and Mary.ReplyDelete
We had latkas for lunch today for Chanukah ! Yummy
I need to see if the library has this CD. I love Peter, Paul and Mary and think I would enjoy it so much. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments, Patty and Kay. This is such a wonderful album. It may be the most emotional one I listen to in December. I just love it.ReplyDelete
Now that I am a grandmother, it seems that I am often late in replying to your most-appreciated comments. But I read them as soon as they come in, and I will write as soon as I can. Please do come back and check. I love these blogging conversations. A little addendum - I've just spent quite a long time catching up with dear notes you left me months ago!! I do hope you can get back to read them. And I'm trying to be much more prompt now!
Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.

I am about to write some computationally-intensive Python code that'll almost certainly spend most of its time inside
numpy's linear algebra functions.
The problem at hand is embarrassingly parallel. Long story short, the easiest way for me to take advantage of that would be by using multiple threads. The main barrier is almost certainly going to be the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL).
To help design this, it would be useful to have a mental model for which
numpy operations can be expected to release the GIL for their duration. To this end, I'd appreciate any rules of thumb, dos and don'ts, pointers etc.
In case it matters, I'm using 64-bit Python 2.7.1 on Linux, with
numpy 1.5.1 and
scipy 0.9.0rc2, built with Intel MKL 10.3.1.

A Sweet Afternoon
on March 21st, 2009Print This Post
Jacques Torres, aka Mr. Chocolate, got help from a few of his fellow chef friends while in town to celebrate the release of his third book. "A Year in Chocolate" is all about chocolate recipes for holidays and special occasions, including eighty ultimate creations for all chocolate lovers. The event was held at his wife's store Madame Chocolat in Beverly Hills, a dream shop for many of us.
Just as we were taking the photo with Jacques his wife Hasty, and chefs Denis Depoitre (The Dining Room), Bruno Lopez, Sylvain Rivet (Amuse Bouche), Remi Lauvand and Guy Gabriele (Café Pierre), restaurateur and interior designer Barbara Lazaroff (Spago) walked in and suddenly made the picture much better!
A Pleasant Evening with Kim McCarty's Watercolors
on March 15th, 2009Print This Post
I am not an art critic, but starting a Saturday evening discovering Kim McCarty's watercolors was rather pleasant. Her ambiguous fluid figures made me think about the human form in new and intriguing ways. There is no struggle in her designs; they are easy on your eyes, and rather soothing.
In order to avoid the colors to run on the paper, McCarty can only paint horizontally; and it becomes a challenge for her knees when doing the near-size-life-size upper torsos! Her exhibition can be seen at the Kim Light Gallery, 2656 S. La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90034 until May 16th. McCarty's work is in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, UCLA Hammer Museum and the Honolulu Academy of Art. She is the wife of Michael McCarty, the owner of the legendary romantic restaurant Michael's in Santa Monica, which will be celebrating its 30th birthday in May.

During her current visit to the United States, Her Excellency Mary McAleese, the President of Ireland, hosted the Tourism Ireland luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
The guests, including myself, thoroughly enjoyed the President's speech, a moving and heart-felt description of her country. With warmth and compassion, she illustrated the importance of the people, the landscape and the culture of Ireland, inspiring us to visit and discover the beauty of this rich island with breathtaking scenery, cultural delights, and captivating cities.
The Human Fortress
on December 12th, 2008Print This Post
EVAIA artists Gaia Melikian and Evangelos Stolidis are creating beautiful pieces of art that emerge from their understanding of the human form. Not only are Melikian and Stolidis the artists but they are also the subjects, having taken photographs of themselves that are then printed on canvas.
The lure in these images pulls you in with a gravitational force of another realm, surrounded in mystery, seized by emotion, you find your self in a subconscious battlefield of an erotic suspense. This series of silhouettes, entitled the Human Fortress, capture such intense human emotions and allow for a multitude of interpretations.
Los Angeles' Men of Style

Last night, Louis Vuitton and GQ magazine honored Los Angeles' Men of Style. And the winners are: chef/owner of Sona and Comme Ça David Myers; PGA Tour professional Anthony Kim; recording artist Ne-Yo; and actor Ian Somerhalder.
The reception took place at the Beverly Hills store, where the 2008-2009 Louis Vuitton Men's Collections were displayed. Of course, we also checked out the famous LV monogrammed bags (the most popular selling bags in the world), their fine jewelry as well as the Women's clothing line. Moët et Chandon champagne was flowing all night, as well as delicate canapés from Bread & Wine and macarons (my favorite was the Earl Grey) from Myers' pastry shop, Boule.
