I just spent the weekend with my 10 year old granddaugher, up in VA. She was riding her bike and I noticed she needs a new one. I also know she is going thru a rough patch with her parents and she is needing more and more time with grandma. One of my dreams has always been a 35 mile ride on the Rails to Trails paths up in Michigan but I don't live in MI anymore. I found a beautiful bike trail up in VA along the James River. I have been after my sister for 5 years to commit to a bike ride with me but she would always laugh at me. So, I asked my granddaughter if she would like to ride bikes on some bike trails this summer with me. She looked at me and quietly asked me if I even knew how to ride a bike. OH what that child did not know. She didn't know her grandma use to ride a bike instead of driving the 2 miles into town, when her oldest uncle was a baby. I had a wonderful baby carrier that fit right on the bike. She didn't know her grandfather and I use to make after-work dates and flexed our time so we could ride 8-10 miles around a city on the bike paths during summer time when her dad was a small child. She didn't know the only reason we gave up biking around was because our bikes were strictly street bikes and didn't handle country roads and shoulders well. She didn't know the last time I road a bike was 11 years ago however, the bike was NOT a good fit for me. I got confused over the 18 gears and that dang seat was so uncomfortable that I never wanted to ride again. After a 5 mile ride, I put the bike away and never touched it again until I moved 8 years ago.
Well, my granddaughter right at the moment is committed to seeing grandma ride a bike. We took a drive yesterday and visited my sister who has agreed to go with us on the trip along the James River, this fall. In the meantime, I need to get back into shape and build my biking ability. We went out and I found a bike that is very comfortable for me. My granddaughter is excited because she had input in what I bought and thought she was teaching me all the equipment I needed for safety. When we got back to my granddaughter's house, a friend of the family shared some tips with me to make riding even more comfortable, based on her lastest 35 mile ride. This morning, my granddaughter actualy got out of bed early, after telling me last night, going for a ride at 9AM was too early. Well, we were on the Dismal Swamp Chanel at 8 AM. It took me 1/4 mile to get the back derailleur down to 3rd gear. When we stopped so I could read a historical sign, my legs were like jelly. We pushed on to the 1/2 mile marker and I felt a little better. I'm sure hoping that was from the gears being set too high. I didn't push it so we turned around and went back to the car. I know I made some big mistakes and it won't happen again. The biggest thing we did was leave the house without any water. The humidity was way too high for any sort of exertion without extra water. If we would have waited even another hour, the humidity would have dropped.
I didn't think I was that "out of shape" but obviously, skipping the fitness center for the past 4 months was not a good thing. I know I need to build up my endurance and I can ride in the evenings. My bike travels very well on my car since I just drove 130 miles from VA back to NC. I'm gonna be bringing my granddaughter down for a few days mid to late June. I'm hoping to find a nice safe bike trail for us to ride together. I'm open for suggestions on how to build my endurance and how to find nice safe trails. There is no way I'm gonna be comfortable enough to do alot of inclines and declines at the moment.
Just another nutty grandma

You remember Mike Cameron , don't you? Key piece of what the M's got back in the Griffey trade when Griffey forced his way out
You remember Mike Cameron, don't you? Key piece of what the M's got back in the Griffey trade when Griffey forced his way out of town, and who, currently with Boston, has actually ended up having a better post-trade career than the recently-retired Kid. Five-tool, Gold Glove-caliber center fielder who could never quite put it all together at the plate due to an epic tendency to strike out, despite power and speed to burn.
Christ, we could be explaining Franklin Gutierrez, couldn't we?
After hitting .283 with 18 homers and 70 RBIs last season, his first in Seattle, Gutierrez received a four-year, $20.5 million extension that the "Jack Z for Genius" camp instantly hailed--and continues to hail--as ironclad proof of the GM's savvy.
That still looks like a solid signing, and Gutierrez, who's yet to commit an error this season, is having one of the greatest defensive campaigns of any center fielder in baseball history. But after a torrid first couple weeks at the plate, he's regressed a great deal, hitting a paltry .167 thus far in July--although last night's game-winning single (one of three hits) was certainly encouraging.
For the season, he's hitting .257 with eight home runs, 38 RBIs, 13 stolen bases, and 82 strikeouts in 91 games. If he holds pace, Gutierrez will have had a season at the plate that's eerily reminiscent to Cameron's final two--and worst--campaigns in Seattle.
So why haven't the Gute's struggles been so much as whispered about in the press? Because his teammates, namely Chone Figgins, have been so much more disappointing that merely struggling feels like a supreme achievement amidst the M's ongoing nightmare.

Whenever I dropped weight it was stunning how people suddenly started speaking with me again at family functions and started acknowledging my existence. Of course, whilst they pressured me to devour the high fat food they had prepared. Instead of boosting my confidence, it reminded me that people can be fickle jerks.
I was on the beach, happy to be alone. I was minding my own business, which is not allowed when one is fat. It's everyone's business. A beautiful redhead jogged past me wearing a pink string-thing. In a soft voice, she introduced herself as Melissa, and then said she hoped I wouldn't be offended. I work for a diet company and we have these amazing appetite suppressants..."
I don't ever want my kids to see me avoid participating in something because I'm worried about how I look, but I also want to feel comfortable and relaxed, which I find difficult in any kind of bathing suit. So thank you to the women who wear bikinis in front of my daughters, for showing my girls that confident women come in all shapes and sizes.
We women face unnecessary scrutiny regarding our bodies. Those who weight-shame will often use the excuse that they are just concerned about our health; but rather, it stems from paternal, controlling judgement. We need to love the woman in the mirror, to embrace our individuality and celebrate our unique selves.
As parents, we have an obligation to counter the messages and images that our children are bombarded with, particularly now. If we don't put a stop to it, we're destined to have a whole generation that is not only insecure, but psychologically scarred as well. Here are some tips to help your tween/teen.
There's always going to be "the next hottest trend" trying to sell you on how you can have the best mind blowing, knock your hipster-socks off kind of sex. You know, the good-good kind of get-down. Yet, what is the actual key to having a great sex life? Eating more kale? Practicing vaginal weightlifting? Cultivating perfectly pruned pubes?
I'm a feminist, but that doesn't mean want to see your bush. Let me explain. I spent my morning at a water spa in the city. An important part of this scenario is that bathing suits are optional. Great! Cool! I'm a modern lady! I've seen Dove commercials! Nakedness is no problem for me. EXCEPT THAT IT FOR SURE WAS!!!!!
My journey to achieve the perfect body started when I was 14. The objective -- tall, thin, cellulite-free with smooth skin and beautifully toned abs -- you know the look. If 'thigh gaps' and 'bikini bridges' were in at the time, I would have added them to my list of things to obsess over. In some ways I came pretty close to achieving the "dream body" that I obsessed over in magazines but I never expected that I would lose everything important to me along the way.
2014 may have been the year of the nipple (#FreeTheNipple), but 2015 is definitely the year of the bush (#PubeGame). Pubic hair is so popular right now, it's vogue. From mild to moderate tuffs, harbouring tiny strands of love in between your legs has been all the rage so far this year and it has no intention of slowing down.

David A. Keene, the president of the National Rifle Association, will travel to Colorado next week for a meeting with Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper.
A spokesman with Hickenlooper's office confirmed the meeting will take place on Feb. 7 and came at the request of Keene.
No further details of the meeting were offered Tuesday, but it comes at a time when state Democrats — who now control the legislature — prepare to present legislation that aims to require background checks on the private sale of guns and a ban on ammunition magazines of more than 10 cartridges.
In his Sate of the State address earlier this month, Hickenlooper voiced support for universal background checks on firearms.
Officials with the NRA said Tuesday the organization does not discuss its meetings.
The national gun advocacy group has been a vocal opponent of tougher gun laws in the wake of mass shootings in a movie theater in Aurora and at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

I can't install ruby 1.9.1. I tried installing macports, homebrew, and RVM. I installed macports but somehow when I used the commands it didn't work. Installing homebrew was a problem in of itself. Ditto for RVM.
Can anyone provide step by step instructions on how to do this on a mac leopard.
Geez, didn't think it would be this difficult.

Because FaceTime over 3G is not compatible with the iPad 2. An iPad (3rd generation) or later is needed for that. You will need Wi-Fi to place a FaceTime call.

It should work.
You need to go to Settings >> FaceTime >> Use Mobile Data and set it to on.
The person you are calling must be capable of receiving the call, so either on iOS 6 or on wifi.
If it still doesn't work, check with your carrier to make sure they allow it.
Edit: DUH! Sorry, I didn't register that you're on an iPad2. You need to be on 3rd Gen for FaceTime over 3G.

Brian Hutmacher, the man behind Lower Queen Anne's favorite place to eat off a hangover, Peso's, is taking over Choy's space and the dry cleaner next door to open a New Orleans-themed eatery likely to be called Toulouse Petite--or maybe just Toulouse. "I haven't decided yet," he says.
Hutmacher filed for a liquor license yesterday but has to wait on the dry cleaning business to vacate before construction can begin. He hopes to open for business on Oct. 1, but expects it may be closer to the end of the year.

San Francisco Catholics call for Cordileone's ouster
Timothy Kincaid
April 16th, 2015
Salvatore Cordileone is a bit of a superstar in the anti-gay community. He is considered to be the father of California's Proposition 8, the man who shepherded its drafting, organized the funding for signature gathering, and championed it within the Catholic Church. He is also a on the board of the ex-gay Catholic group, Courage, and chairman of the U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference's Ad Hoc Committee for the Defense of Marriage.
Cordileone's anti-gay activism served him well under former Pope Benedict the Malevolent. He quickly rose from auxiliary bishop of San Diego (2002) to Bishop of Oakland (2009) and then, in a deliberate slap to gay Catholics, to Archbishop of San Francisco (2012).
In his new exalted position, Cordileone has been quick to display his contempt to those who are more welcoming in their theological approach. Among his first acts was to snub the gay-friendly Episcopal bishop of Northern California at his installation. He quickly followed by demanding that teachers at the area's Catholic schools be held to the strictest "morality" clauses, recruited a priest who then banned girls from serving at the altar, and spent more than a little time advocating for his anti-equality obsession.
But this has not sat well with some San Francisco's Catholic community. They don't like the Archbishop's heavy-handed ideology and don't find it to be an approach that appeals to local Catholics or which promises appeal among the younger faithful. The students and parents of some Catholic schools have held protests against the Archbishop and his policies were mocked at a local Irish Catholic event where he gave benediction.
And the Church's image has suffered. Under Cordileone's guidance, they have consistently taken steps that put the diocese in unfavorable light. The archdiocese was embarrassed when Cordileone was arrested for drunk driving and the constant friction between the leadership and the lay people tarnished the institution's image. The latest shame was the media disclosure of the Church's installation of pipes that would spray water on any homeless people who sought shelter from the night in the cathedral's doorways.
Now some prominent observant Catholics in the City by the Bay have had enough. They are asking Pope Francis to replace Cordileone with someone more suited to San Francisco's culture and values.
They first sought to appeal to the structure of the church. But the internal workings of the Church can be excruciatingly slow and the Church's structure tends to always protect its own. So when that went nowhere, these Catholics chose to appeal to the Pope in a very public fashion. (SFgate.com)
In an unprecedented move, more than 100 prominent Roman Catholic donors and church members signed a full-page ad running Thursday in The Chronicle that calls on Pope Francis to replace San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone for fostering "an atmosphere of division and intolerance."
Cordileone is choosing arrogance as his response. Rather than hear the concern that these Catholic worshipers have for the Church, he is denouncing their voice as a misrepresentation.
A statement by the archdiocese provided to us Wednesday called the ad "a misrepresentation of Catholic teaching, a misrepresentation of the nature of the teacher contract, and a misrepresentation of the spirit of the archbishop. The greatest misrepresentation of all is that the signers presume to speak for 'the Catholic Community of San Francisco.'
"They do not."
I suspect that they speak for more of the city's Catholics than Cordileone would like to admit.
It will be interesting to see if Pope Francis responds to the concerns. While Cordileone is consistent with the style of former Pope Benedict the Malevolent, the new Holy Father tends towards a more compassionate message, designed for inclusion and humility. This may be the decision which defines his image as truly reformative, or illustrates the Church to be irreparably hidebound and corrupt.

San Francisco's new Catholic Archbishop snubs Episcopal bishop
Timothy Kincaid
October 5th, 2012
The installation of Sal Cordilleone, the Catholic Church's point-man on opposing marriage equality and other civil rights for gay people, as Archbishop of San Francisco did not go without hitch. From AP
Meanwhile, interfaith tensions over the marriage issue threatened to mar the Cordileone's day. The Rev. Marc Andrus, the Episcopal bishop for Northern California and a strong same-sex marriage supporter, reported that he was snubbed when he showed up for the cathedral service, which came three days after Andrus had written an open letter offering a spiritual home to any Catholics who felt disowned by the archbishop's views.
Andrus said he was taken to a basement room with other invited guests, then left waiting as ushers showed everyone but him to their seats in the sanctuary, Joseph Mathews, an Episcopal spokesman said. He was still waiting when the mass had started, so he left, Mathews said.
The Catholic Church blamed Bishop Andrus:
San Francisco Archdiocese spokesman George Wesolek chalked it up to a misunderstanding. Andrus had arrived late and missed the procession of interfaith clergy who were to be seated up front. Church staff were looking for an opportunity to bring the bishop in without disrupting the service, according to Wesolek. When they went to retrieve him, he had already left.
"We had no intention of excluding him at all," Wesolek said. "If he felt like because of the wait that was insulting to him, we certainly will apologize."
Rather than play along, Bishop Andrus decided to post a dispute to the Church's accusations:
I was dropped off at the cathedral at 1:30PM by my assistant. After making my way around protestors and showing my invitation to security guards, I was in the lower level area to which I was directed by 1:40.
The instructions the Archdiocese had given my assistant were that I should be at St. Mary's by 1:45. The service was scheduled to begin at 2.
I identified myself to an assistant to the archbishop, who spoke to someone through a headset, saying, "Bishop Andrus is here."
I saw the Greek Metropolitan, a good colleague of mine, who was in the same room with me, several Greek Orthodox priests, archdiocesan employees and security guards. I greeted the metropolitan and we spoke briefly.
An archdiocesan employee attempted to escort me upstairs with the Greek Orthodox group, but was stopped from doing so by the employee to whom I had first identified myself. This person, who appeared to be in a superior role, instructed another employee to stand with me.
At this point no other guests remained in the downstairs area. The employee and I chatted while waiting. I began to wonder about the time holdup. I checked my phone; it was 1:50PM. I asked the employee standing with me if the service indeed started at 2, which she affirmed.
At 2PM, when the service was to begin, I said to the employee, "I think I understand, and feel I should leave." Her response was, "Thank you for being understanding." I quietly walked out the door. No one attempted to stop me. No attempt was ever made to explain the delay or any process for seating. I arrived early, before the time given my assistant, and waited to leave until after the service had begun.
This all seems rather easily proven and I hope the AP makes this a real story. One could simply interview the Metropolitan (the term for a Greek Orthodox Bishop) and Bishop Andrus' assistant. Then ask why it is that the Catholic Church decided to snub the Bishop.
Cordileone may feel that the Vatican's favor guarantees adoration from the public. But this level of arrogance and intentional rudeness will alienate not only Protestants, but some Catholics and many non-religious people who will extend respect for his office only so far as he respects that of others.
The Boozey Bishop of San Francisco
Jim Burroway
August 27th, 2012
..was arrested in San Diego for DWI:
The archbishop-elect of San Francisco for the Roman Catholic Church was arrested and jailed Saturday in San Diego on suspicion of drunken driving, police said Monday. Bishop Salvatore J. Cordileone, 56, who was appointed archbishop in July, was taken into custody at 12:26 a.m. after being stopped at a DUI checkpoint near San Diego State University, police said.
Cordileone is the Catholic Church's main point-man in its opposition to civil marriage equality. Often called "the father of Proposition 8," Cordileone has also served as an ecclesiastical advisor to the Catholic ex-gay group, Courage. Last month, Pope Benedict XVI named Cordileone as the new head of the San Francisco archdiocese.
Cordileone was booked on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. He was released from jail after posting $2,500 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned on October 9, just five days after he is scheduled to be officially installed as Archbishop of San Francisco. He had told The Chronicle that he was "kind of frustrated" that his opposition to same-sex marriage drew such heavy notice. So look at it this way: for the time being we'll have something else to talk about.
The Pope holds you in contempt
Timothy Kincaid
July 27th, 2012
Pope Benedict the Evil holds you in contempt.
Really, that's the only explanation. When someone take a step to insult you, exclude you, and show you just how little they value you, it must be out of contempt.
San Francisco is known world wide as a city that is not only disproportionately gay in population but also deeply supportive of gay rights. A Pope with a sense of respect for Catholics in the City would have appointed an Archbishop that had a history of compassion for gay people and who could be perceived if not as an ally, at least as being non-antagonistic.
This Pope took a different approach. He appointed the single most anti-gay Catholic in the Country, Father Salvatore Cordileone, the author of Proposition 8. Truly a bigger insult to San Francisco's Catholics could not be imagined.
While no doubt anti-gays within the church rejoiced, they may want to note that their rejoicing is echoing louder in increasingly empty cathedrals around the world.
Courage overseer assigned to be Catholic anti-gay point man
Timothy Kincaid
January 7th, 2011
Last week I predicted that change will be coming to the Catholic ex-gay group Courage, a change that will likely turn this support group into an anti-gay advocacy group using their own choices as "evidence" against the civil rights and equalities of their Protestant and non-Christian neighbors. Further witness to the likelihood of such change has come this week. (Catholic News Agency)
The new president of the U.S. Catholic bishops' conference, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, announced Jan. 5 that he appointed Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, California as chairman of the conference's Ad Hoc Committee for the Defense of Marriage.
Both Dolan and Cordileone sit on something called the Body of Members, who "provide governance and impart ecclesial authority" to Courage.
A Change at Courage
Timothy Kincaid
December 31st, 2010
Along with the passage of Father John Harvey, Catholic ex-gay group Courage is taking a new direction. They are moving from their home in Manhattan to Norwalk, CT, and are leaving behind their staff, volunteers, directors, and even their legal identity. The new non-profit corporation will have a Board of Directors will consist of:
Father Paul Scalia – son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia – tends to discuss "homosexual activities" using language such as "depravity" and his writings focus as much on the miseries that he just knows are experienced by those who choose the homosexual lifestyle as they do on Catholic teaching about sexuality.
Father James Knapp – has long been a leader in Courage, but seems to have written or spoken publicly little on the subject.
Dr. Tim Lock – a psychologist, was a presenter at NARTH's 2010 conference with, of all people, Gerald Schoenewolf whose "other way of looking at" slavery led a number of evangelicals to question their association with NARTH. Lock is a true NARTHy who, in a conference in Australia, "exposed nine gay myths, citing scientific research" in a manner reminiscent of John Diggs or Paul Cameron.
Mrs. Marylee MacDougall – is less well known, but in a letter to the editor of The Cowl, Brown's student newspaper, seems to endorse anti-gay political activism:
Matt Rand (in the Apr. 2 issue) is saying gay marriage is a religious issue, but the history of this topic is that even without religion more than 2000 years of civilization has had a position opposing this lifestyle and valuing family life-which starts with marriage between a man and a woman. Pending legislation and recent court decisions indicate a frontal assault on the traditional and widely accepted understanding of the essence and purpose of marriage.
Father Paul Check (ex-officio) – is the new executive director of the newly revised organization.
In addition to the Directors, there will be "a Body of Members, who provide governance and impart ecclesial authority," consisting of:
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan – a conservative Catholic who has made his campaign against marriage equality in New York a significant priority. However, Dolan – who sees homosexuality as a compulsion – is not perceived to be harshly anti-gay and uses more nuanced language.
Bridgeport, CT, Bishop William Lori – will be the host to Courage. A conservative, he's best known for successfully fighting against an attempt by the State of Connecticut to require the Catholic Church to turn over control of the diocese to its membership rather than its hierarchy.
New Ulm, MN, Bishop John LeVoir – gave $250 to the campaign to defeat marriage equality in Maine.
Oakland, CA, Bishop Salvatore Cordileone – is the father of Proposition 8. It was his organization and advocacy that initiated the writing and signature collection of the proposition (remember the early funding was almost entirely Catholic and only after it got on the ballot did the Mormon Church dump in some 20 million dollars).
Father Paul Check (ex-officio)
Considering the number of politically motivated anti-gay activists now involved, what do you want to bet that the 'new and improved' Courage has more on its plate than ministry to those with same-sex attractions?
Meet Bishop Sal, the Face of Catholic Anti-Gay Discrimination
Timothy Kincaid
September 22nd, 2009
The East Bay Express has an article on Salvatore Cordileone, the new Bishop of Oakland. It seems the Catholic Church rewarded him with this position for all his hard work and devoted efforts in taking away civil rights from gay couples.
What almost no one knows is that without Bishop Sal, gay men and lesbians would almost surely still be able to get married today. As an auxiliary bishop in San Diego, Cordileone played an indispensable role in conceiving, funding, organizing, and ultimately winning the campaign to pass Proposition 8. It was Bishop Sal and a small group of Catholic leaders who decided that they had to amend the state constitution. It was Bishop Sal who found the first major donor and flushed the fledgling campaign with cash. It was Bishop Sal who personally brought in the organization that took the lead on the petition drive. And it was Bishop Sal who coordinated the Catholic effort with evangelical churches around the state. Bishop Sal even helped craft the campaign's rhetorical strategy, sitting in on focus groups to hone the message of Proposition 8.

Image of the Month: Irish Peatlands by Aidan Butler (Photo – facebook)
10th May 2015
Yes, I know, it's a great shame, but nothing much is happening on this site for the time being, and many of the pictures are disappearing. I hope this will change soon!
Query (reposted and rephrased): Can anyone tell us the name of the powerful Irish film made in the 1970s / 1980s involving a simple-minded girl in an C18th / C19th rural family who becomes enchanted / by the wild and wonderful fiddle music played by one of the Straw Boys at her sister's wedding party and grows increasingly orgiastic, with a goat-headed pagan deity / devil presiding?
Our Easter 2012 Query, seeking identification of these "abandoned college ruins on the Ballyman Road near Bray" (below), received a suggestion that the site could be Jubilee Hall, until recently occupied by the Elian Spanish School. Can any other reader confirm / add to this information?

Awesome!!! Our tour guide knew his way around Seattle and showed us places we would have never found on our own! And we didn't have to deal with the traffic! So glad I signed up for this tour. We had perfect weather for photos from the Space Needle and the Queen Ann Neighborhood.
I really enjoyed it. About all you could get in in one day!
We had a wonderful time on the tour. There was plenty of time to explore the Space Needle and Pikes Market. Our guide was the best! He was able to enhance our experience with his knowledge. His love for the city shone through.
Our driver's name was Randy and he was very knowledgeable about Seattle, being a native. It was a very interesting tour, and I felt he took us to all the high spots of Seattle and some very neat neighborhoods. And he kept the conversation lively and interesting. The 6 hour tour flew by. My wife and I enjoyed it very much.
This was a fantastic tour. Lance was very knowledgeable and gave us wonderful suggestions for Pikes Market. I asked the guys who throw the fish for a picture and they more than happy to oblige. The Seattle Needle sells the best fudge I ever tasted. The scenery was beautiful and the bus was very comfortable. I would do this 6 hour tour again.
I loved the tour. The tour guide was both knowledgeable and friendly. I took this at the end of my trip and I thought I would be too tired to enjoy the tour but I was wrong. I loved the stops at the space needle and the Pike. Too bad that I did not have the time to take any of your more in depth tours of Seattle and the surrounding areas!
What a great way to start our vacation to the emerald city. Our driver was very knowledgeable and the information she shared gave us a sense of appreciation for the variety of places we visited. It was nice to have the free time at Pikes market to have lunch and explore on our own. We highly recommend this day excursion.
I only had one day to get some sightseeing in before the work conference began. So, this tour was perfect. I truly enjoyed our tour guide, even though he had strong views regarding millennials and people who worked in the tech industry-his comments made the tour experience memorable and funny. I went on the tour on 9/27/15
It was a wonderful trip! Our tour guide was just wonderful. I love that we were able to see all of the wonderful sights of Seattle. We did a couple of different tours while we were there and we really felt that they gave us a great feeling for the city. I think Sunday is the day to do this trip, we had little traffic and the lines seemed to be reasonable. so glad we got to see the boat locks and the bridge troll.
We had a wonderful tour on the most beautiful we could have imagined! Our driver Mark was an educational treasure trove and a delight to spend the day with. Seattle left her mark on our hearts and in our memories.
Lance is extremely knowledgeable and provides a wonderful tour. Don't miss him and take the six hour tour. You will know Seattle and have experienced important areas.
Really enjoyed this tour! We only had a day before our cruise and this tour gave us a little bit about a lot of the city!! It hit on the highlights and was lots of fun! Our tour guide Chris was wonderful! They pick you up at your hotel and drop you back off there! Great day! We recommended this tour to friends we met on the cruise!
The tour guide knew everything there is to know about Seattle and its environs! Well worth the cost!!
The tour was excellent from beginning to end, covering all the sights we wanted to see. Our driver was knowledgeable, friendly, and amusing. The Space Needle and Pike Place Market were highlights for us. We would recommend the tour to anyone who wants a good overview of Seattle attractions.
Really enjoyed the tour. Driver was very knowledgeable about all areas.
Thank you for a great tour. Rob was our guide and driver. We lost one passenger at the market, can you give me an update on his status. Thank You, Betty
Very nice tour and CC the guide she is amazing woman !!!!
We enjoyed the day tour of Seattle very much. The shuttle driver was very informative. He was a very good driver in all of that city traffic!! We were glad that we could go up the Space Needle without much delay.
Barry was great. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous Great day
Enthusiastic guide and well organized full packed tour. Highly recommend
our tour was great! we really enjoyed the sights of Seattle!
Tour was great. Perfect overview of the beautiful city of Seattle in a day. Hits all of the highlights and our tour guide was very knowledgeable,
Very Good Tour, Enjoyed it very much!!!!
It was beautiful weather and we had a great tour guide. He changed our schedule and went to Pike's Place Market first so that he could time our visit to the Space Needle when the lines would not be as long. We did not have long lines anywhere and we saw so many wonderful sights. The tour guide was fantastic - so friendly and so informative about everything we were seeing.
Our tour was a wonderful way to see Seattle in our one day that we had available. Our guide, Lance, was incredibly knowledgeable regarding local history, enthusiastic, and very thorough in his presentation. The pacing was also very well controlled so as not to overwhelm us, but to allow sufficient time at the major sites. Strongly recommend tour, especially with Lance. Jim and Jeannine

this number call all of my children also. Said it was a bill from 2004.. Very rude on all calls.. Has to be SPAM
This number has called me twice and when I call back, it says it's disconnected.
this call came in right after another spam call in which I had picked up and immediately disconnected. I will also file a complaint against that number next. I think it's somehow associated with some company.
This number call at least two times a day. No one on the line, calling back just gets a recording. no one to talk to.
They call 5 or 6 times a day. When I answer the phone, no one respondes. must be a robo-call. this has been going on for weeks. I can not keep jumping up for the phone.
Was a recording for some company and I had to press #1 to speak to a person to notify them not to call again.

Where: 7-Eleven, 1550 NW Market St., BALLARD.
What does $13 get you? A can of tuna, relish, a mayo packet, a package of Hawaiian rolls, a fruit cup, a bowl of soup, two Slurpies, a dark chocolate Snickers bar and a scratch-off ticket, plus 50 cents to give the guy sitting on the curb outside
Recommend? In a pinch. And if nothing else, go get a Slurpie. They have the best flavor selection of all the other 7-Elevens I've frequented in Seattle.
Official tasting notes: Dates are expensive--even if you're married to the person with whom you're on a date. But the bonus of the married date is you can cut corners and still expect the person to call you the next day and, if you're lucky, even put out that night.
So off to 7-Eleven we went in search of food and entertainment. And food we definitely found. I was expecting to have to get a six-pack, a bag of chips and some candy, but my husband really dug deep for this assignment, finding a bag of rolls, tuna, sweet relish and mayo packets (free mayo!) for the makings of a bag o' tiny tuna sandwiches.
Then I figured we should have a soup course and a gelatinous fruit course. They had the real deal (i.e., fresh fruit--yes, at 7-Eleven), but I figured when in Rome, eat the gelatinous stuff in a cup. Then I found the most amazing thing to come along since the Snickers bar: the dark chocolate Snickers bar. And we figured it wasn't a date without entertainment, so we threw down a buck for a scratch-off ticket.
Sadly, we didn't win anything in the lotto, but we did walk away with a sack full of sustenance and two Slurpies in hand. Plus, we had 50 cents left to toss to the fellow sitting outside with the sign that says, "A couple fries short of a happy meal."
Everything was delightfully normal--the same sort of meal you'd throw together after scrounging around your own cabinets--except, of course, for the Slurpies, which were a little piece of frozen, syrupy heaven. Honestly, though, the gelatinous fruit cup went untouched and ended up providing more entertainment than the scratch-off ticket.

passes from one object to another. This must be contrasted with the fixation of the libido to particular objects, which often persists throughout life.
There can be no question but that the libido has somatic sources, that it streams to the ego from various organs and parts of the body. This is most clearly seen in the case of that portion of the libido which, from its instinctual aim, is described as sexual excitation. The most prominent of the parts of the body from which this libido arises are known by the name of 'erotogenic zones,' though in fact the whole body is an erotogenic zone of this kind. The greater part of what we know about Eros--that is to say, about its exponent, the libido--has been gained from a study of the sexual function, which, indeed, on the prevailing view, even if not according to our theory, coincides with Eros. We have been able to form a picture of the way in which the sexual urge, which is destined to exercise a decisive influence on our life, gradually develops out of successive contributions from a number of component instincts, which represent particular erotogenic zones.❖
Sigmund Freud ( 1900-1939)
An investigation of normal, stable states, in which the frontiers of the ego are safeguarded against the id by resistances (anti-cathexes) and have held firm, and in which the super-ego is not distinguished from the ego, because they work together harmoniously--an investigation of that kind would teach us little. The only thing that can help us are states of conflict and uproar, when the contents of the unconscious id have a prospect of forcing their way into the ego and into consciousness and the ego puts itself once more on the defensive against this invasion. It is only under these conditions that we can make such observations as will confirm or correct our statements about the two partners. Now, our nightly sleep is precisely a state of this sort, and for that reason psychical activity during sleep, which we perceive as dreams, is our most favourable object of study. In that way, too, we avoid the familiar reproach that we base our constructions of normal mental life on pathological findings; for dreams are regular events in the life of a normal person, however much their characteristics may differ from the productions of our waking life. Dreams, as everyone knows, may be confused, unintelligible or positively nonsensical, what they say may contradict all that we know of reality, and we behave in them like insane people, since, so long as we are dreaming, we attribute objective reality to the contents of the dream.
We find our way to the understanding ('interpretation') of a dream by assuming that what we recollect as the dream after we have woken up is not the true dreamprocess but only a façade behind which that process lies concealed. Here we have our distinction between the manifest content of a dream and the latent dream-thoughts. The process which produces the former out of the latter is described as the dreamwork. The study of the dream-work teaches us by an excellent example the way in which unconscious material from the id (originally unconscious and repressed unconscious alike) forces its way into the ego, becomes preconscious and, as a result of the ego's opposition, undergoes the changes which we know as dream-distortion. There are no features of a dream which cannot be explained in this way.____________________

April 30, 2013
A missing element in Harry Nilsson's catalog is an excellent double-disc retrospective. That's precisely what the 2013 compilation Essential Harry Nilsson provides: two discs that tell his story from beginning to end, hitting all the high points along the way. The first disc concentrates on his '60s work, chronicling the rise of Nilsson the maverick interpreter and songwriter; his original versions of "Cuddly Toy,""I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City," and "One" are here, as are his breakthrough cover of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'" and several selections from the landmark Nilsson Sings Newman, plus such remarkable pieces of popcraft like "1941,""Good Old Desk,""Without Her," and "Me and My Arrow." The entire second disc is devoted to the '70s, beginning with the smash 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson and its hits -- "Without You,""Coconut,""Jump in the Fire" -- plus the album-opener "Gotta Get Up." From there, hits, non-LP singles, and the occasional oddities pile up -- "You're Breakin' My Heart,""Spaceman,""Daybreak," his straight version of "As Time Goes By,""Kojak Columbo" -- tracing his majestic rise and being kind with his fall. Although this doesn't have every great song Nilsson made (a few absent favorites are "Driving Along,""The Lottery Song,""Take Fifty Four,""Jesus Christ You're Tall"), no other compilation has captured his peculiar genius as thoroughly as this, which does indeed make it something close to the Essential Harry Nilsson. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

And, unlike the last 5 years I've been living here, no firmly planned bike tour as a focus
But, I'm going back to Yorkshire UK to see my Mum and StepDad, and have a 2 day rental arranged on a tandem in the Yorkshire Dales, a region I consider heaven on earth - a hybrid Cinelli Dos Rats. Looking forward to trying that out. They say the rental price will be discounted in the event of a purchase - boy, they can see me coming.
And I've an invitation for 'no obligation, just turn up and have a go' on a Santana Niobium and a Cannondale Road 2. It'd be rude not to.
Then from Yorkshire to Greece for a week. No cycling planned for that, but the tandem rental place wants to show me an Airnimal and a Dahon folder.
Looking forward to it. And, perhaps unwisely, I've got all the credit cards paid down to zero.
If you have financial company shares, liquidate them. I foresee a renewed credit meltdown

Measles Hits 20-Year High In U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that measles outbreaks in the United States are now at a 20-year high, with 288 cases reported in the first five months of 2014.
Measles was eliminated in the year 2000 from the United States, but a lot can change in a few years. Today, the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention says the infection rate is at a 20-year high for measles. There have been 288 cases reported for the first five months of 2014. A couple of weeks ago we spoke to William Schaffner, who teaches preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University, about this very issue and he told us the huge factor in the outbreak is a lack of vaccinations.
WILLIAM SCHAFFNER: The measles outbreaks are clearly occurring in populations whose parents have withheld their children from immunization. They remain susceptible. Some of those children then travel abroad, encounter measles, bring it back into the United States. They become ill, and then it spreads among other unvaccinated children. And those children frequently live in similar neighborhoods or attend the same schools.
SIMON: Now this is confirmed by the CDC, whose scientists believe that many of the outbreaks occurred after people travelled to the Philippines, which is experiencing a large outbreak of the disease. Ninety percent of all measles cases in the United States occur in people who are not immunized. Public health officials say the best way to avoid contracting measles is to get vaccinated.

We went to a school for YEARS and never once did I see anything that worried me...then we moved to this school and I see things every day that horrify me. First of all, parking for the school is at a grocery store next door. Parents hate the (admitedly) long walk, so they cut in car line and park illegally on the grass, and then are extremely...agressive trying to get out. Then there are the special snowflakes who force their way into car line (cutting). I hit one of these idiots recently and my insurance paid out (i hit her therefore it was automatically my fault)...even though i was IN A LINE and moving forward and she cut in.
Today one of these idiots cut in at the drop off point, just as Jonathan was getting out of the left side of the car (we are supposed to TRY to get them all out of the right, but the only way DD's carseat fits is in the middle (we cant afford a bigger car), so my 11 yr old walks around the car and my 7 yr old is on the right).... THEN the idiot who almost hit DS unloads FIVE kids out of a sedan...there were two adults in the car so 7 passengers in a sedan
I dont know how to keep mykids safe any more. I dont park and drop them off at hte front door because it seems more dangerous for them to be on foot than in the car, but then DS almost gets hit bc of these idiots bc they are too special of a snowflake to wait THREE MINUTES to drop off their kids. WHO ENDANGERS KIDS LIKE THAT JUST TO NOT HAVE TO WAIT????????
I've learned to not even bother saying anything to the moms with forward facing infant seats..they know they are idiots and just dont want to hear the baby scream...and the dumbasses with preschoolers smaller than my 3 yr old with no carseat?? Dont even get me started. That is THEIR kids though, they know better, and choose to do it anyway.
Of course I complained to the principal and she said she has called the police, a nd they have issues OMG tickets, but then things are back to normal the next day...She's dragged parents in to meetings over this (including the one that almost hit Jonathan this am) and it did NO good.
I dont know how to keep my kids safe anymore.

text: Tanikawa, Akio; Mukai, Hiro A new technique for nonconvex primal-dual decomposition of a large-scale separable optimization problem. (English) Zbl 0553.90087 IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 30, 133-143 (1985). The primal-dual approach is quite effective in decomposing a convex separable optimization problem into several subproblems of smaller sizes. In this paper, we present a new technique which extends the primal-dual approach to nonconvex problems. Since a straightforward application of the multiplier method destroys separability, a new Lagrangian function is proposed which preserves separability. Based on this new function we develop a new iterative method for finding an optimal solution to the problem and show that the method is locally convergent to an optimal solution. Furthermore, the effect of certain parameters on the ratio of convergence is investigated and simple examples are given to illustrate the proposed approach.

Blueberry Girl (original 2009; edition 2011)

Work details
Blueberry Girl by Neil Gaiman (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not so much a book for children as it is for the parents who hold hopes and dreams for their little ones. ("Nightmares at three or bad husbands at thirty, these will not trouble her eyes" isn't exactly what you expect to hear at storytime!) An inspirational gift book for parents of girls.
I love Neil Gaiman's writing in all its forms, be it novels, comics or picture books. This is no exception. However,the text seems to really be written from an adult perspective, as it has an element of time that could be hard to grasp for young children. Nevertheless, this book represents all my hope and dreams for my future daughter. The pages are filled with love and the words ring sincere. It is a poetic ode to little girls everywhere and I can't wait to read it to my niece.
This is such a sweet book...has a new age feel. Written for a pregnant mama. Contains the hopes and dreams anyone could feel for their children.
Reminds me of the email chain that was a letter from a grandparent to a grandchild. This book is similar in that is doesn't wish for all to be well and sweet and tidy all the time...but that life will hand challenges to you and may you do well with them.
The tone and some of the illustrations (not the style but the theme) reminded me of the book On The Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier.
Pretty illustrations and a sense of hopefulness mark this book. It's lighter than other Neil Gaiman books I've read.
"O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! and yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all whooping!" This is a lovely invocation, a hopeful incantation, a blessing and a beautiful wish. I've just fallen in love with Gaiman all over again. The words are exquisite and the illustrations extraordinary. It's a book I will buy for every girl baby born into my life from here on.
If you can read this without smiling or tearing up, you're made of sterner stuff than me.

When it comes to fries and other product seasoned with sea salt, marketers know their audience. In a new survey conducted by the American Heart Association (AHA), 61 percent of Americans erroneously think that sea salt is a healthier, lower-sodium alternative to regular salt.
The fact is that table salt and sea salt have the same basic nutritional value, both consisting of two minerals – sodium and chloride, the only difference is that one is harvested from seawater rather than mined.
Se salt is often advertised by marketers as being more natural and a healthy alternative. But, the real differences between sea salt and table salt is in their taste, texture and processing, not their makeup.
Sea salt is actually produced as seawater evaporates. This process is quite simple and leaves behind some trace minerals and elements depending upon the water source.
These trace minerals can add flavor and color to the sea salt. Because very little processing is involved, sea salt is often coarser and found in larger crystals.
Table salt on the other hand is mined from underground salt deposits. It has to undergo more processing to eliminate trace minerals, contains additives to prevent it from clumping and it also has added iodine, an essential nutrient necessary to prevent goiter.
According to the AHA, the U.S. public is confused about sodium. They found that 46 percent blamed the salt shaker for their high sodium intake, when in fact most dietary sodium comes from salt in processed foods.
The body needs only a couple of hundred milligrams (MG) a day to stay healthy. But most people consume between 1,500 and 2,300 mg per day.
People with high blood pressure or a family history of high blood pressure should aim for the lower end of the range. The AHA recommends a maximum of 1,500 mg of sodium per day.
While sea salt may seem like a healthier or more natural choice, it contains the same amount of sodium as table salt and will have the same effect on your blood pressure.
So when it comes to managing blood pressure, there are no health benefits to using sea salt over table salt. Because sea salt has a stronger taste, less of it may be needed to create the same flavor, but consumption still needs to be limited to no more than 1,500 mg per day, which is about ½ to ¾ tsp. A better bet is to use salt-free seasonings, spices and herbs.
