Vera Project
Sunday, Jan 30
Review by Dave Lake
Wish as he might, fans simply can't erase the memory of Blake Schwarzenbach's former bands. There was Jawbreaker, the seminal '90s pop-punk band he fronted that put his gravelly voiced songs (and--whether he likes it or not--emo) on the map. His indie-rock foray, Jets to Brazil, arrived in the late '90s, followed, nearly 10 years later, by Thorns of Life, a band that left no recorded output, only a single recording session that has yet to see the light of day.
So it was with bated breath that, after seven years, Schwarzenbach's fans finally had some new material to dive into, this time from Forgetters, a back-to-basics punk trio, featuring original Against Me! drummer Kevin Mahon and Caroline Paquita from Bitchin' on bass. Their self-titled, four-song double seven-inch was released in September, and with it a wash of nostalgia. And there's no way around it, Forgetters sound way more like Jawbreaker than any of Schwarzenbach's other bands. They're also a trio, don't have vocal harmonies, and their debut recording sounds as muddy as the early Jawbreaker stuff.
Their show Sunday night at the Vera Project--which has been celebrating its 10th birthday all month long--was crowded with aging punks who grew up on Jawbreaker and who were anxious to see what Schwarzenbach's latest band was all about. Though it can be tough to hear a nearly hour-long set of songs you aren't familiar with, Forgetters did their best to overcome this, putting on an energetic show, bantering with the crowd between songs, and segueing from up-tempo punk tracks to darker material like some of the moodier fare on Jawbreaker's Dear You album. Strangely, the band didn't include all four songs from their double seven-inch in their set--the only material showgoers might know. They opened things with "Vampire Lessons," and later, "Too Small to Fail," but the other two songs from their debut EP were M.I.A.
Despite the band's energy, the crowd was quiet between songs--a by-product perhaps of an all-ages, alcohol-free venue--which Schwarzenbach said was making him paranoid. "There's nothing more annoying than drunk people who talk too much," he said, about one of the benefits of the all-ages space. "I should know: I'm a bartender." He then admitted he'd also taken to smoking pot again, which could explain his confessed paranoia--and also his eerie resemblance to Bob Dylan, complete with a full head of curls that the audience chattered about as the band took the stage.
After 11 sweaty songs and no encore, Forgetters' first show in Seattle was a memory. And so too, the first decade of the Vera Project, leaving fans hopeful and happy as they poured out into the frigid Seattle night, chatting excitedly about the show, which they'll probably be telling their friends about in a few years, just like they wax nostalgic now about the very first time they saw Jawbreaker.
Reporter's Notebook:
What Forgetters didn't play: Anything by Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, or Thorns of Life. No covers either.
Overhead from the stage: "Just because there's a woman at the merch table doesn't mean that's all she does," said Forgetters' bass player Caroline Paquita, before commending the bill for having a woman in every band.

RO System
Innovated and made in Sweden, Spirit harnesses the patented SuperiorOsmosis technology for efficiency, compactness and long product life. Removing practically all contaminants from tap water, the system also cuts water wastage linked to traditional RO systems.
Trouble at the Tap
Many Americans, Asians and Europeans worry about the quality of their tap water; almost 40% of Americans participating in a new survey said they boiled or filtered their water before drinking it. That level of concern is a key trend in consumer attitudes toward the water they drink at home, work and leisure.

Atmospheric Water Harvester
The AirMax 3000 is a full-sized upright atmospheric water harvester that extracts water from the air and turns it into drinking water. These units are equipped with an electronic control system that turns the machine on and off when full and circulates the water to maintain clean drinking water 24 hours a day. Humidity levels and filter changing requirements are indicated with digital displays. The system can produce up to 8 gal of drinking water per day.
RO System
These RO drinking water systems have cartridges and membranes that are easily replaced without the need to shut off the system. They are available in wall-mounted or floor models, and all systems come with storage tank, John Guest feedwater and tank shutoff valves, faucet, tubing and instructions. The systems are backed by a two-year warranty.
Water Purification System
Engineers Help Supply Clean Water to Typhoon Victims
GE engineers and WaterStep provide portable water purification devices to Typhoon Haiyan victims
GE engineers, in partnership with Louisville's WaterStep organization, are providing 60 inventive portable water purification devices to thousands in the typhoon-stricken Philippines. The need for emergency drinking water supplies in the country is immense due to the disaster that hit the country's most impoverished areas on Nov. 8.
Onsite Chemical Generators Deployed to Philippines
Operation Blessing Intl. deploys safe drinking water technology for Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts
MIOX Corp. has partnered with Operation Blessing Intl. (OBI), one of the largest charities in America, for disaster relief efforts in the Philippines following Super Typhoon Haiyan.
OBI deployed six MIOX BPS portable sodium hypochlorite generators and one SANILEC 6 sodium hypochlorite generator to the Philippines. The seven clean water treatment technologies have the combined capacity to treat approximately 500,000 gal of water each day, providing safe drinking water in life-threatening conditions.
Alternative Applications
In my previous article, "Ultrafiltration: A Business Growth Opportunity" (September 2013), I referenced a 2010 BBC research report stating that "the U.S. market for ultrafiltration (UF) technologies was worth $940 million in 2010. It is estimated to be valued at $1.24 billion by 2015."1 Simply put, the business opportunities for UF are growing rapidly, which could prove extremely profitable for the savvy professional water dealer.

The 20-year-old showed up for the test with labor pains, but made no mention of it to the examiner.

Dying hair???
i dyed mine a couple days ago. as long as it is amonia free and you are in a well ventilated area it's not a problem. however i didn't do it myself this time, i let a friend do it because the only place in my house in front of a mirror is the bathroom with no vents so i sat in her very open kitchen with the windows open and she did it for me. made me feel like a new woman with none of my greys showing lol

Dying your hair is fine - though some organizations say wait til 2nd trimester to be safe. The concern used to be over chemicals being absorbed through the scalp but it is honestly a rather outdated worry since products are so different these days.
I dyed at home at 8 weeks.
Info come from info book from my dr/midwife practice, mayo clinic, and baby center. There were a few other places I read it, but I can't remember 100% and don't want to misrepresent anyone. Last time this was mentioned on here someone said, "Its dangerous, do your research" so I did some research and the majority of respected places say its ok.
Also, google natural hair color. There are a few brands that you can get online that work like regular dye in a box, but they're more natural. If youre still worried.

Dying your hair is fine. It is mainly an "old wives tale" that you can't. Coloring products have gotten so much safer and better (my hair lady told me I would have to ingest the color for it to affect the baby).
Just go to a well ventilated place, use semi-permanent (permanent is iffy in the first trimester), tell them you are pregnant and just don't massage it into the scalp.
I'm getting mine done on Saturday (got it done when I was 5 weeks pregnant---and my roots are horrid.

I would like to personally invite you to smoke a fucking joint. Because that level of uptight can't possibly be comfortable for you or anyone within a 5 mile radius. -goodcatch
I was told by my OB to do it in a well ventilated area and that it is ocmpletely fine. I dye my hair dark red and bleach the underneath.
Breastfeeding Peer Counselor ( Y )
Dying your hair is 100% safe during pregnancy. Just do it in a well ventilated area so the smell/fumes wont bother you. A lot of people will say to avoid it first trimester, but my stylist and midwives all said it was safe.
If you dye your hair a reddish brown, check out henna hair dye. It's natural and completely safe, and comes in a few different shades of red/brown.

Celebrity Transformation
Mama June's Transformation — See the Honey Boo Boo Star's 115 Lb. Loss! (VIDEO)
We've been seeing a lot less of Mama June lately — in a good way! The 35-year-old reality star has been shedding the pounds lately, and the results are evident!
As TLC viewers know, June "Mama June" Shannon is the matriarch of the family on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo — and the food she eats with her family, including Toddlers and Tiaras favorite Alana "Honey Boo" Shannon, is not always the epitome of nutrition.
While Mama June's recipes for pigs in a blanket, down South sweet lemonade, and Boston cream pie do sound appealing, they're not exactly gonna burn the fat!
But this Mama must have changed up her lifestyle in some way, because she recently dropped a triple-digit amount of weight.
"I feel really good," she said an interview this fall. "At my heaviest, it was like 400 pounds, but now I'm like 285."
But don't expect her to subscribe to the Hollywood ideal of thinness. "If I lose more weight, that's fine," she continued. "If I don't, that's fine also. I'm happy with myself. If you don't like me, you don't like me, and you don't have to look at me."
Way to tell it like it is, sister!

Half way to An Bang
02 Phan Dinh Phung St, Hoi An T: (0510) 3937899 F: (0510) 3921899
The domineering, brand spanking new Sunshine Hotel sits midway between An Bang beach and the old town; from here it's a good 20-minute walk to either, but that's okay because every guest gets a free bicycle to potter around Hoi An, and it's outstanding value.
As is the norm with Hoi An hotels, every room comes equipped with air-con, fridge and TV, but the most outstanding thing about this hotel is its pool and the breakfast room opening out on to it. Of course, you'll also find the usual tour desk and a couple of desktop computers for guests in the reception and WiFi reception throughout the hotel is good.
Three flavours of rooms are on offer: the standard for $28, superior for $35 and deluxe/family or what I call Vietnamese — a room with four beds lined up in a row — for $45. Rates include breakfast. All rooms except the family have balconies, and all are bright, fresh and very clean. Go for the top floor ones if you are after a great view. Beds are comfortable, with crisp cotton bed linen, and all rooms are en suite offering good sized bathrooms with fast-flowing hot water showers.
The Sunshine is outstanding value for money even at rack rates and what's even better is they are very willing to discount the room rate or offer upgrades where available at the moment as they have only been open for a few months. It's definitely worth the five-minute cycle ride to the beach or town and is a good option for the rainy season months of October and November as this area does not flood. The Thanh Van 2 Hotel down the road from here, which is in the same price bracket but not quite so shiny and new, is always overflowing with guests fleeing the high water elsewhere in town.
With the huge discounts they are offering at the moment, this hotel is packed with backpacking and holidaying young couples raving about how great it is, and although its distance from town might cause some concern, the layout of the hotel is great if you have a disability or aren't too keen on climbing a huge number of stairs for a lie down. Taxis are always available to ferry you around should you need one.
For families with young kids that don't all mind shacking up in the same room or families with teenagers the Sunshine is a good bet, but if yours are in-betweeners and you're looking for interconnecting rooms you will have to look somewhere else.
Despite its newness and a few teething troubles as staff find their feet, the Sunshine is still a very relaxed and friendly hotel. The well laid out pool area provides a great communal space where plenty of guests were hanging out during my visit and its distance from the main road means that you are not disturbed by the tootin' and beepin' even when you are poolside.
Presently the Sunshine looks over a quiet dead end road with the land to the side being used to cultivate lucky Tet trees, but it's only a matter of time or at least Tet before that changes completely, as this area on the outskirts of town is developing fast. It is certainly very good value and a pleasant place to stay for the time being and if they keep the standards as high as they are at the moment — minus the teething — you will have a very comfortable and happy stay.

Hawaiian Falls Waco waterpark received a $5,000 donation from Dallas-based Van Wey Law in memory of a young drowning victim.
The financial gift, which is designated for water safety, will enable Hawaiian Falls to offer free swim lessons Aug. 3-13 for disadvantaged children ages 3 to 13.
Kay Van Wey, a personal injury attorney and owner of Van Wey Law, represented Yoshicka Calhoun, the mother of 12-year-old drowning victim Sir'Lemuel Calhoun, in a lawsuit after Sir'Lemuel drowned at an area park in June 2014.
Van Wey presented the check to Hawaiian Falls Waco general manager Shawn Welch, who said Hawaiian Falls has hosted swim lessons for years and makes water safety a priority.
"We want to support organizations like Hawaiian Falls that create and promote a culture of safety," Van Wey said.
Mission Waco is working with Hawaiian Falls to identify and reach out to families in need of the free swim lessons.
To register for the free lessons, contact Welch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 892-0222.

Only in America?
The wrongheaded American belief that Barack Obama could only happen here.
People are still amazed he won. In a country where more than a few white folks would still say outright that one of "them'' shouldn't be in charge, here was a politician who didn't downplay his ethnicity, his foreign-sounding name, or his father who wasn't even a Christian. And he wasn't just ethnically atypical. He'd made himself a member of the country's meritocratic elite. He wrote real books that really sold. That blend of outsider detachment and obvious ambition drove his earnest enemies crazy.
So they attacked him as doubly strange, both "not like us'' and elite. They claimed you could not trust this man, that he was unknowable, unreliable, a snob, and a toff. They ridiculed the seal he'd contrived for himself, with its Latin motto meaning, roughly, "yes, we can.'' These same rhetorical ploys did not keep Benjamin Disraeli (motto: "forti nihil difficle''; literally "nothing is difficult to the brave'') from twice becoming prime minister of Great Britain during the reign of his good friend Queen Victoria. So could we Americans stop patting ourselves on the back about the supposed uniqueness of our electing Barack Obama president?
Last week, the New York Times told us Europe would not soon—indeed might never—see a political triumph like Obama's. It described British politics as though Disraeli had never existed and painted a similar picture of mono-ethnic France.
Désolé, chers collègues, but one year after the far-off, sunny isle of Corsica was acquired by France in 1768, there was born there one Napoleon Bonaparte, whose heavy Italian accent made him seem even more exotic to la France profonde than his strange name. At least our president-elect, born on the far-off, sunny isle of Oahu two years after it became a U.S. state, pronounces English without the marked accent of, oh, the governor of California. And speaking of German accents, the Times thumb-sucker also foresaw that there would be no German Obama any time soon. Bad timing for them: Three days later, Germany's Greens elected Cem Ozdemir, an ethnic Turk, as their new leader.
Americans, indulging this month in our national pastime of unparalleled exceptionalism, need to rejoin the reality-based community. Pride is one thing. But telling ourselves that the Obama story could only happen in our country, in our time? That's hooey.
The truth is that Obama-style chiefs of state—people who came out of stigmatized ethnic minorities or "foreign'' enclaves to lead their governments—are an uncommon but regularly recurring part of history. Alberto Fujimori, who held both Peruvian and Japanese citizenship, was elected president of Peru in 1990. Sonia Gandhi, born Edvige Antonia Albina Maino in northern Italy, led her Congress Party to a resounding victory in India's 2004 elections. Daniel arap Moi is from the Kalenjin people, not the Luo or Kikuyu who are the nation's largest ethnic groups and its centers of political gravity. But this did not bar him being president of Kenya from 1978 to 2002.
Of course, opponents of such candidates try the usual xenophobic rhetoric, only to find that this time, it falls flat. In India, when the opposition BJP screeched about Sonia Gandhi's European ethnicity and Christian faith, it ultimately provoked more hostility to the BJP than to her. She ended up declining the premiership, but it was clear the job was hers if she wanted it. Moreover, ethno-discordant leadership is not confined to nations that hold elections. Stalin, of course, wasn't Russian. It's a matter of some debate whether Alexander the Great was ethnically Greek. Quite a few rulers of the Roman Empire came from underprivileged, barbarian families in North Africa, Syria, and the Balkans. The Times' portrait of ethnically blinkered European politics would have surprised not only Disraeli and Napoleon, but also, inter alios, such second- and third-century Roman emperors as Philippus (known as Philip the Arab for his ethnicity), Septimius Severus (father Roman, mother North African), and Diocletian (humble stock from Dalmatia, present-day Croatia).
Instead of expecting, against the evidence, that people only want a leader who is ethnically, religiously, or culturally "like us,'' Americans ought to be examining how and why people decide that "like us'' can be based on criteria other than race or religion. If we stop congratulating ourselves for inventing what is, in fact, an ancient political phenomenon, we'd have a better idea of what we've just done. For all the obvious differences of time and place, there do seem to be some commonalities among such leaders.

Sleeping in airports is something I've found myself doing more often than I ever expected, and while I have no issue with sleeping on the floor or chairs or whatever, sometimes I have valuable stuff, and if travelling alone or in a small group, or if in a dodgy small airport with no security (or worse, corrupt security), what tactics can you use to keep you and your valuables safe?
While I don't regularly sleep in the airports, I suggest you check out these tips:
If you suspect a problem with airport security, you may want to follow this tip and sleep in the car:
Also, make sure to check out the stories about the airport beforehand so you know if there are known problems before you face them.
Good luck!
Use your suitcase/bag as your pillow, you'll know as soon as you miss it! If you have more than one bag, put your hands through the bag handle or tie it to your hand or leg when you fall asleep.
Most importantly travel light, the lighter you travel, the safer you will be!
In airports in Christian countries, I also heartily recommend seeking out the chapel. Its a nice, quiet place, where you can "meditate" in silence. (Hey, I'm also an ordained priest, and while people like my sermons, don't think I haven't seen the occasional person "meditating" even during the songs!) Its a easy place to find some shuteye, as long as you are respectful. (Also, I would check the hours and make sure you won't be there for a service!) The beauty of this is that criminals tend to avoid chapels, mostly out of guilt, so you have a relatively safer place.
Along these lines, in Muslim countries, there are also ablution fountains near the prayer halls. If you are really in need of a shower when you wake up, use the ablution fountain as a dip and pour. Remember that Muslims pray (and wash) five times a day, so be discreet and look for non-prayer times.
I find it useful to carry a light chain or a nylon strap, such as those found in backpacks (something difficult or time-consuming to cut through, enough to disturb your sleep). Wind it through your baggage limbs and then across a body part. This is quite useful for securing multiple pieces of luggage. Also, not directly related to the question - Carry a neck pillow, in case you don't have one already. You'll sleep like a baby!
One of my biggest worries when sleeping in airports is whether my luggage is safe; everything else, I don't really care. If there's a 24-hour luggage storage or a locker facility I drop off my bags there and that helps incredibly in peace-of-mind in relaxing.
Now if you're the kind who passes out cold when sleeping then things are going to be difficult for you. However, if you find you can easily take power naps then you can take that at a cafe or a restaurant. They will throw you out if you stay too long but as long as you buy something you can safely catch some sleep for 30-60 minutes. Once you learn how to take power naps, you'll find it causes less fatigue as you can catch the restful cycles of sleep without sleeping in an uncomfortable position for too long.
Hide your valuable items (if small) deep under your clothes, that way it will be hard to steal them from you (and hard to find).
You could also try to make a new friend (easy when you both are stuck at the airport) and keep an eye on each other. On the other hand your new "friend" might be a pickpocket, so use your brains.
Or if you have a lock with you, lock your bag to something fixed.
Another possibility is lockable bags. I have a couple of these for when we take train trips where the luggage security situation is much worse. Beware that bigger is not always better--the bigger the bag the bigger the holes in the mesh that someone could use to worm something small out.
They're basically a wire mesh bag with a drawstring that you can loop around something substantial and then bring back to the bag and lock. The biggest ones--which is what I linked--will hold bags as large as the airline carry-on limits.
While it's not perfect it's enough to defeat the thief intending to stealthily go through someone's bag or pick it up and pretend it's theirs. I can't think of anything that could get through it that you're allowed on a plane.

About MGSSBF
Michigan's Great Southwest Sustainable Business Forum (MGSSBF)
MGSSBF was founded in 2010 primarily as a vehicle for educating the business community in sustainability matters. Our mission is to be an information source and a force for merging environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic strength. The Forum does this this through quarterly in-depth programs and monthly less formal "lunch and learn" sessions. We also sponsor a monthly Green Drinks event. The Forum is led by 12 directors with diverse business backgrounds from businesses across Berrien, Cass and Van Buren counties in the Southwest corner of Michigan.
Over the years we have grown to over 100 members. Our 12-15 events per year have grown to include topics as diverse as water sustainability, community supported agriculture and green cleaning for commercial buildings. Our attendees at our events come from a diversity of geographic representation, the mix of interests and the enthusiasm for sustainability efforts.
MGSSBF is a Michigan tax-exempt organization.

This review is from: COBY CA745 Wireless Car FM Transmitter with Digital Display
Pros: It works, and that's more than I can say for the other 3 or 4 of these things I have bought in the past. That's why I give it 5-stars. It's just so much better than others. It works with my Honda which has the antenna built in to the windshield, and that's a problem for some units.
Cons: There is some low interference from time to time, but again, it's much less than other (more expensive) units.

Not that great
This review is from: COBY CA745 Wireless Car FM Transmitter with Digital Display
Pros: The concept is sound, when it works it works great. Not a lot of static.
Cons: Sometimes doesnt transmit right away sometimes it cuts out after 5-10 minutes and sometimes it will work for 20 minutes but thats about it. All of a sudden it just stops transmitting. Can have some interference with the power running to my phone if they are within 6 inches of each other.
Other Thoughts: I am going to have to return this thing if I can. I dont know if it is a faulty unit or just an overall poor product. Gave it 2 eggs cause when it works it works pretty well. It also took a while to find the right frequency to work in my car. That would be expected though.

This review is from: COBY CA745 Wireless Car FM Transmitter with Digital Display
Pros: Works Very Well in my F-250, Isusu NPR, Toyota Tacoma, Old Subaru.... It just works. Works way better than the Belkin thing that my brother bought.
Cons: First one didnt work out of the box, so Minus 1 egg for that, I know these things happen, but it Irks me when theres a "Quality Controll Passed" sticker that was freshly put on it.
Other Thoughts: Its clear as standard radio can be, theres a little static, but not nearly as bad as that stupid belkin thing. I love belkin's power adapters, but that thing is awful.

I know there was a thread on this not too long ago, but now I can't find it anywhere:(
My DH and I are seriously considering home schooling...the public schools in our area are awful, the private schools are wayy over-priced/out of our budget, and we specifically want our children in Christian schooling and there is an area-wide Christian home school association in the county where we live that has 200 families and growing, I know several moms who are in it and rave about it.
I did 3 years of public school and hated it, it was awful and was not for me (there was violence, bullying, etc and it was a GOOD school in a really nice "up scale" area too where I grew up!). Switched to private school and while that stuff was better (little to no violence and the bullying was somewhat better), I still got made fun of to no end. When I got to college, in all 4 years I got made fun of ONCE. In college, no one cares who or how you are, you're there to learn and "get the grade/degree", all the popularity nonsense falls by the wayside. Both my husband and I would love for our children to bypass all of that!
I know some argue that home schooling doesn't properlys socialize kids, but all the ones I know of, don't have that problem, and besides, my dad was in traditional school his whole life, and has the WORST people skills I've ever heard of or been around, and makes an absolute killing in his profession and is famous the world over for what he does; pretty sure none of his clients care about his people skills, they care about what he can do/produce for them and his level of genius, that is why they keep coming back to him again and again. So once you get into the working/business world, no one is going to care about your social skills.
Heck my husband has the social skills of a rat LOL, and he is extremely successful in his career and does amazing, again b/c people care about how good he is at his job, not what kind of social/people skills he has...so I guess I don't really buy that argument much that social skills mean so much...
Anyway sorry for my rambling, just wondering how many of you are considering home schooling or already do! Thanks!

The election
As the election results sink in and we begin to move toward governing, it's good to take a peek back and ask: Why do candidates win elections?
Pretty simple, really. Winning candidates have a good vision and an ability to get that vision in front of voters.
But it gets tricky — even a little difficult — when a candidate tries to execute that last part: Getting that vision in front of voters.
No question that money plays a role. The more money you have, the more advertising you can buy to get your message out.
Still, what has always been a critical factor in elections is newspaper coverage. Smart politicians know that smart voters know advertising is what it is: A controlled message that rarely tells the whole story.
So voters rely on what they read in a newspaper. Now, most of what voters see in a newspaper is stories. They are objective and do the best job they can telling both sides of a story.
But in both editorials and columns, voters get something else. They get opinions.
Nowadays, you get considerable chatter out there on the Internet about how worthless newspaper opinions are. They will either tell you no one pays attention to newspaper opinions or — worse — they pay attention and actually vote the opposite way.
I went back and took a look at some of the things I said in my column about the recent election. (Warning, self-promotion coming!)
First, the freeholders election. It was terribly confusing, with 100 candidates running. Our editorial board opted not to endorse candidates. But I offered up four names in my column that I liked: Garry Lucas, Ann Rivers, Temple Lentz and Jim Mains. They all won.
In a city council race between long-time incumbent Jeanne Stewart and newcomer Alishia Topper, I said Topper was a bright, enthusiastic, knowledgeable challenger running an aggressive campaign. I went on to say, "The city might just be in need of a fresh perspective. And Topper would deliver that." Topper won.
In the mayoral race, I had been banging on Mayor Tim Leavitt for years to say he screwed up. On what? He came out during his first campaign against tolling a proposed Columbia River Crossing bridge then changed his mind once he was elected. I wrote that he needed to get this bridge issue behind him. Then, a few weeks before the election, he told our editorial board, "I was wrong." I wrote that that was the help he likely needed. Leavitt won.
Again, candidates' actions win races, not views coming from us. But to suggest our views hurt candidates is just silly. Check this email from a J.B., who said this after I wrote about Topper: "Simply by your story I bet she wins. Your piece gets her in." Not really, but thanks.
Or this email: "I think you'll be happy to hear that … loves your column because you are unbiased and give good information about the candidates so she feels like she doesn't have to read that ridiculously long pamphlet that is mailed out with the ballots."
Again, candidates win or lose based on what they do, but a good word in a newspaper will do you no harm.
Now, making bad predictions, on the other hand, could do the predictor some harm. In some ways, you put your credibility on the line when you do this stuff. Heck, I said the mighty Florida Gators would win the college football national championship. Yikes!
Of course, today, with the vast Internet, it seems like everyone has an opinion or prediction when it comes to politics. One of my bestie conservative types who despises Leavitt had this to say before the mayoral race: "A political career soon to be snuffed out. Crushed for reelection." After Leavitt won, he simply said, hey, those results were expected.
Well, it is the Internet, after all, and I suspect he figured no one was paying much attention.
Predicting in the newspaper is a different matter altogether. Your words are printed forever. And if you get it wrong, my bestie commenter friends would never let me forget it.
With the risk understood, I tried my luck in our high-profile mayoral race. I was able to use my brain to figure this race out because I didn't have a dog in the hunt. When you have a dog in the hunt — like my conservative friends had — you sort of suspend yourself into a delusional state and end up saying stupid stuff. Like that Leavitt was sure to lose. (Hey, do you think these guys could use my "stupid stuff" mug?)
So a few weeks before the election, I wrote that I wouldn't bet against Leavitt winning. Then, a few days before the election, I went on KATU-TV and told anchor Steve Dunn that Leavitt would win with 52 percent. He won with 52 percent.
Oh, I've been wrong plenty of times. But at least this time, I didn't do stupid stuff!

Vista upsets fifth-seeded Weston Ranch, 72-71
By: Matt Long/Telegraph Sports Editor
Lowman scores career-high 38 points, including winning free throws
Patrick Lowman scored a career high 38 points and Vista miraculously survived a 22-0 run in the fourth quarter to upset fifth-seeded Weston Ranch on Wednesday night, 72-71. Vista advances to the second round of the Division III playoffs on Friday where they will play at fourth-seeded Lindhurst. The Eagles held a comfortable 67-47 lead with 6:25 to play in the game before the Cougars came roaring back on a 22-0 run. Despite going 4:38 without scoring a point in the fourth quarter and seeing their 20-point lead turn into a two-point deficit, the Eagles stopped the bleeding with free throw by Jake Duenkel and sealed the win with a pair of free throws from Ryan Rodriguez and Lowman, not to mention a great defensive stand over the game's final 28 seconds. The cardiac kids are moving on. "We went an awful long time without scoring," Vista coach Matt von Tillow said. "Early in the season we would have lost a game like this by 25 or 30 points, but the difference is this team has come together. They play hard and they step up when they're thrown into adversity." Lowman stepped up when his team needed him, scoring 20 of his 38 points in the first quarter, including five three-pointers. He finished the game with seven. "It was an awesome win; by far our best performance all year," Lowman said. "We would have liked to win by 17, but they're a good team and made some shots in the fourth quarter. I knew it was a big game and I wanted to get myself going early and the shots were falling." Von Tillow's watched him play all season, but was still impressed by Lowman. "He's a special player," von Tillow said. "It's hard to score 38 points when it's a playoff game and the other team has prepared to stop you. He was unbelievable tonight." Lowman's 20 first-quarter points, including a desperation three at the buzzer coming four strides on the other side of midcourt, helped the team out to a 24-14 lead. Weston Ranch cut the lead to seven by halftime, but the Eagles went on an 11-4 run in the final two minutes of the third quarter, including a pair of threes by Ian MacLachlan, one coming at the buzzer, and one by Lowman, to take a 59-47 lead into the fourth quarter. MacLachlan finished the game with 11 points, including three threes in a three-minute span late in the third quarter and into the fourth. "My teammates found me and I made them," MacLachlan said of the shots. "They made a run in the fourth quarter, but we played good defense at the end." MacLachlan's points were big and helped take some of the scoring load of Lowman. "The way Pat was playing we didn't need much else offensively, but Jake was looking more to facilitate others and Ian got some good looks and hit them. It was a big confidence boost for him." Vista opened the fourth quarter with an 8-3 run with a layup and three-pointer by MacLachlan, followed by another three by Lowman with 6:25 to play. It was the last field goal the Eagles made in the game, but the 20-point lead was a big enough cushion and they made five-of-seven free throws in the final 1:47 to secure the win, the winning two free throws coming off the hand of Lowman. Weston Ranch had a final shot and the Eagles kept the ball from going to the Cougars' top scores. Felix Beunrostro had the last look and his three came up short, as Vista's player came pouring onto the court as the buzzer sounded. Despite being outscored 24-13 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles had the one-point win. Dylan Alexander scored 32 points to lead the Cougars, while Andre Beard finished with 23. Vista also received some scoring from Duenkel, who finished with seven, while Drew McPherson and Tyler Jones both scored six. Jones suffered an ankle injury in the second half and did not return to the game, as the Eagles received solid minutes from Jeffrey Reinking off the bench.

For the crafty moms out there, any diy nursery decorations??
I painted some that matched LO's bedding.
SAHM to my DD born 10/19/10
On the other wall I now have a collage of sorts. I have 9 pictures up (3x3) and they are all 8x10, so it takes up a good chunk of the wall. Here's a pic.
I didn't space them out very well and want to add another column by moving the center one over. But this was an easy way to decorate a wall. The frames were $3 each at Target, and I did that instead of trying a DIY canvas print for each one.
SAHM to my DD born 10/19/10
I made pictures from felt pieces and put them in shadow boxes. I found pictures I liked on the internet, blew them up to the correct size on a copier, and then printed them on cardstock for my pattern. The eyes for each sea creature (a crab, sting ray, and turtle) are buttons glued on buttons, with a speck of white paint.
Urg. I still can't paste pictures here.
Twin boys! October 2010
wife(26) to Kyle(30) Mommy to: Chandler (3-26-09) and Keeva (9-30-10) and Emelina 8-31-12!!!
I don't have a picture on here or I'd share.
I took a 3 peg wooden hanging board (so you could hang like robes or something on it) and painted it, then took fabric that matched the bedding and decopaged them on (basically cut the fabric out, glue it on, then put a layer of glue on the entire board to keep it the same texture)
I also took 2 canvases, painted them a background colour and did the same decopage with fabric cutouts from the same pattern.
We are in the process of moving and I'm doing it all again in a set that will match the room and be fitting for both baby girls.

Incoming city councillors are slated for a raise of nearly $25,000 next year -- roughly $7,500 beyond the expected increase approved two years ago.
When the former council first approved the raise in 2004, it was reported that their salaries would increase from $70,000 to $87,500.
But the raise was actually based on a 55-per-cent stake of the mayor's salary, not a fixed figure, according to city solicitor Rick O'Connor.
The mayor's salary is based on a formula comparing it to that of other mayors, high-level city bureaucrats, federal cabinet ministers and the chairman of the National Capital Commission. Based on what the comparison group was making on July 31, the new mayor's salary in 2007 will be $172,000 -- $32,000 more than that of Mr. Chiarelli.
That gives new councillors a salary of $95,000 -- plus a $6,000 car allowance.
"It's an unreasonable political position to put people in to vote for an increase in their own salaries," said Mr. O'Connor. Most councillors, he said, thought the earlier number of $87,500, approved in 2004, was a fixed amount.
Four councillors opted out of the salary increase the last time it was revisited. Eli El-Chantiry in West-Carleton-March, Gord Hunter in Knoxdale-Merivale, Doug Thompson in Osgoode and Rainer Bloess from Innes Ward.
The four newly elected councillors, plus the mayor, will have five days after being sworn tomorrow to similarly opt out of the raise. New councillors include Marianne Wilkinson in Kanata North, Shad Qadri in Stittsville-Kanata West, Christine Leadman in Kitchissippi and Steve Desroches in Gloucester-South Nepean.
Mayor-elect Larry O'Brien, who says he will accept his raise, is encouraging all newly elected councillors to accept it as well, spokesman Mike Patton said yesterday.
"He guarantees that the taxpayers will get more than their money's worth from the new mayor and council," Mr. Patton said. "This council has a lot of hard work to do and they're going to do it."
College Ward Councillor Rick Chiarelli said Mr. O'Brien's remarks about councillors having to "earn every penny" of the new salary were "painful."
"Please tell me I didn't hear this," said Mr. Chiarelli.
Mr. Patton said Ottawa's city council hasn't had a pay raise in more than 10 years, noting their job requires them to always be in role.
"A hard-working city councillor is never off the clock," he said. "When they go the store to buy groceries or go to the church on Sunday, people still feel comfortable approaching them."
Some newly elected and returning councillors expressed surprise at the increase yesterday, while others affirmed their support for the raise.
Mr. Desroches said he intended to opt in for the new salary, but would refuse the $6,000 car allowance -- one of his campaign promises in the recent election. But he said he was surprised to hear that the salary could escalate to close to $95,000.
"My objective wasn't to get an increase in pay, but to effect positive change in the community," he said.
Ms. Leadman said she hadn't made a decision yet on the salary increase because she was in the midst of going over the paperwork.
"I just got them today," Ms. Leadman said last night. "I want to review them before I agree to anything."
Capital Ward Councillor Clive Doucet said he always thought councillors deserved a raise and promised to sign on.
Although he acknowledged it was a big salary jump in one shot, he added "that's what happens when you have 10 years with no increases."
Mr. Doucet argued salaries should be more in line with those paid to provincial and federal politicians, charging the municipal level is just as, or more, important.
People shouldn't be "penalized" for choosing to run at a municipal level, he said.
Somerset Councillor Diane Holmes said she would accept the raise based on the recommendations of the advisory committee.
"My position has always been that people should be paid for the amount of work they do," she said. "That was a recommendation from a third party professional committee who were experienced in the matter of pay and what kind of salaries city councillors should get."
Mr. Chiarelli said he would also accept the raise, based on the committee's recommendations but, "it would have been more convenient if the math had been done earlier."
Mr. Thompson, who opted out of the raise, said he found it "unconscionable."
"I still think it is unconscionable that we would take a 35-per-cent increase at a time when we're trying to find ways to save the city money. On principle, I stand to lose at least $30,000."
He called on the new council to revisit the situation and opt for an alternate raise -- either at the rate of inflation or small increments of under three per cent over a number of years.

Breathing the mountain air in Zermatt
I made an unplanned visit to the small Swiss town of Zermatt. Far from the din and doldrums, this city is set abuzz by ski enthusiasts. I enjoyed exploring the town on foot and breathing some fresh mountain air, says Yahoo! reader SHAYANTANI SARKAR

"Oh no you don't, she thought, after the first flare of anger hit. Magic and weird animals and interdimensional portals freak me out, but snide bullies? That I was dealing with by the time I was thirteen."
This heroine? Is awesome. I did not even know how awesome she was, so she had to remind me.
I may yet finish this draft today. Or she will kick my ass.
