3 speeds
Cooker hoods are designed to remove steam and odours from your kitchen by pulling in air and cleaning it. The extraction rate determines how quickly this can be done. This model has three extraction speeds to choose from, so it's great for clearing the air in your kitchen quickly. Select the lowest setting when you're simmering or steaming food and the highest setting for frying and strong-smelling food.
Suitable for 60cm hobs
When you're looking for a cooker hood to suit your kitchen space, you want to make sure that it's the right size. This model would look fantastic above a 60cm wide hob and would be able to remove the amount of steam generated by a hob of this size – making it ideal for a standard-sized kitchen.
With a noise level of 64db, this cooker hood produces a medium-level sound. So whether you're entertaining guests, watching the TV or listening to music, you won't get too much of a distraction from the extraction fan.
Extraction and recirculation
When it comes to extracting air, you can choose to vent it externally or recycle air back into your kitchen. If you can connect a ventilation hose to an external wall, the cooker hood will draw air in and push it outside. If your kitchen layout doesn't allow for this, charcoal filters will remove unwanted odours and smoke, before releasing the clean air back into your kitchen. This means your kitchen will always be nice and refreshed – whatever layout you have.
Low extraction rate
The amount of air that can be removed from your kitchen in an hour depends on how powerful the extraction rate of your cooker hood is. This model has a low extraction rate, which means it's ideal for clearing steam, smoke and cooking smells from a small area.

"I was a little skeptical about ordering from Albeebaby.com because I had read some bad reviews on them. I decided to order from them anyway, and used PayPal to cover me in case the bad reviews were true. I am very happy to say that I had a wonderful experience with them, and will use them again if I ever need to order anything else. The day after I ordered, I received a shipping notice, and 4 days later my stroller and car seat were at my door!"
I placed an order for carseat, and order status hasn't changed for few days. I was starting to be concerned, so I called them to inquire. they assured me that it will be shipped on the day I called, and I was given a tracking number. However, tracking information was invalid. I looked up BBB to see if this company is legitimate, and unfortunately I have found many customers filed complaints against this company for similar issues in the past. I called back the company to inquire about my invalid tracking information they sent, and Peter (Albeebaby) accused BBB of being a fraudulent company. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He then continued his accusations of BBB of being fraud by laughing at me on the phone for my concerns. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY on this company as all you will get is headache. I filed a complaint against them at BBB. What a waste of time to deal with such horrible company."
"I order britax convertible car seat, it doesnt fit to our car, so I return. So they received my car seat on 3 June, now it s 15 june. I call them last week,a guy ask me for my phone number, to check with return department. He never call me back. So next day I call again each time was on hold , but finally woman answer and told me return department send me money and email. I said I never get a email from them or money, she said wait. And I m still waiting. Plus return was for my expense, many websites already have free returns. Not happy at all!!!"
"I ordered the Chicco travel system Sedona for my first grandchild. It was the best price I could find, but was a little leary to order from Allbee because of some of the reviews. Since I'm from Canada, I had to get a drop off address in the states. I couldn't be happier with the service, it only took 3 days to come in, I went over and picked it up, they didn't make me pay duty so ended up saving almost $200 compared to the same one in Canada. Would order from Albee again without any reservations."
"I've placed 6 or so large orders in the last year. 2 of them came back days later as out of stock, when the website clearly said the items where in stock. It is soo aggravating to need something, order it, days later get an email saying its backordered, would I like to wait, and then have to find it somewhere else. An absolute waste if time. Fix your website! Completely unprofessional. I'm done wasting time shopping here. "
"Was a bit weary of ordering from this merchant after reading some of the negative reviews here. But they seemed to be making an effort to change so took a chance.
Ordered the Britax Frontier 90, cheaper than other places, and free shipping, and no tax.
Item was shipped quickly and arrived as expected/on time. Brand new and no issues with merchandise."
"I am a mom who is loves buying new baby gear products and am constantly doing so. But I will never purchase at AlbeeBaby.
I just heard that they've been tattling on their competitors to the manufacturer's - how low can they go?? Grow up, Albee - look for success in your own way. Stepping on others ain't gonna bring you good luck."
"Albee baby was the only store that still carried a specific car seat that we fell in love with. We first saw it online at Babies R Us only to find out its a discontinued item when I called them. Albee baby sold the car seat for much less then then Babies r us were advertising and it came with free shipping. I made my purchase with excitement that I finally found a place that sold it. A few days passed and the UPS tracking number still said the same thing "label has been made" that made me really nervous. I looked up some reviews on Albee baby and found many bad reviews which concerned me even more. So I called UPS and they confirmed to me Albee baby hasn't sent out the package and there is no way that UPS didn't just simply update their information. I called Albee baby ready for a fight when they told me they did send it out and this happens a lot with UPS. They said the package would be here by Friday. I decided to wait and they were right although I got it in Monday due to an issue with UPS on the way here. Everything got updated on Monday. The car seat was brand new wrapped in plastic and in the original box. My advice is be patient if this happens to you. Wait till the time Albee baby tells you it should arrive. "
"Great Resolution to Shipping delays!!!
I wanted a new infant seat for my new infant. I needed one that would work with our older B.O.B Revolution.(New baby, not first baby!) AlbeeBaby was one of the few places that carried the Graco Classic Connect infant carriers. With free shipping, it came to a wayyyy better price than all competitors.
11 days after placing order, and still no seat, I braced myself for another round of elevator music while sitting on hold. (Second merchant I've had to deal with today!)
I wait maybe 10-12 minutes on hold, before I get an answer. Bad news, seat will be at THEIR warehouse in a week or so. As this is round too of bad merchant calls (Please feel free to read my review of Automotix) I was ready to put someone in an arm bar.
I calm myself a little and inform the company rep. that my baby is due well before that date and that I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE HER HOME IN A BOX!
She offered to locate another product for me. As I was online already, I asked of a similar product. She said she would call the warehouse manager and then call me back. The newly selected infant carrier was going to cost another $20, but I need the seat now.
I get a call back to my cell phone minutes later. The other infant carrier is available, they would have shipped to me in three business days, and they would give it to me for the price of the other (less expensive model) for my inconvenience.
OK, I said. That was really cool of them. I was prepared to pay the $20, as long as I got the product, but I didn't have to. Thanks AlbeeBaby for rescuing a otherwise frustrating day.
"I ordered a baby swing. When it was received the box was a little beat up from shipping and it was broken. Contacted them and they bent over backwards to send a replacement. They shipped the swing the same day I got the OK to return the broken one. Martha in customer service was a pleasure to work with on this issue. "
"Loved it!
This review is for their online store.
I live outside US and my husband was going on a trip to Nevada. I looked for a stroller and found it on sale at Albeebaby.com
The price was the best and with free shipping.
I made the order, received the confirmation and asked if there was enough time to deliver it. They answered me assuring that they would ship my order the next day so it could arrive to its destination on time. And it did arrive before my husband!
It came in its original box and in perfect condition.
It was the best choice I made, I would definitely buy at Albeebaby.com again when I have the chance and would recommend them to anyone."
"I will never purchase anything from Albeebaby.com ever again. They sent me the wrong item instead of what I had ordered which resulted in me having to leave for vacation without the item I had ordered to take with me. When I called them, they gave me two choices: either I could waste my time and gas and drive to a USP outlet and send back the incorrect item or I could stay home from work and they would send someone to my house to pick it up. In addition, they couldn't send me the item I had ordered until they received the returned item by which time they no longer had the item I ordered in stock. The final insult is that after going to the effort of returning the item they erroneously sent me, they did not refund my money but only gave me a partial refund. Unbelievable but true!!!"
"I've purchased two Britax car seats from Albee Baby (at great prices) over the last two years and I didn't encounter any issues with both purchases. Fast and free shipping! "
"I ordered an EnFlo Triumph baby seat. It was $30 cheaper ($110) at Albee. Everything went great! Seat arrived within 7 days in great New shape. Go for it!!!"
"I've ordered from Albee Baby twice, both times I found what I was looking for (infant stroller/car seat the first time, convertible car seat the second time) for cheaper than anywhere else. Shipping was super fast (arrived in 4 days with standard shipping!) and free! No tax either."

Costa is fast, bullies defenders and is a more lethal striker even than Messi and Ronaldo... no wonder Mourinho wants him!
As Chelsea's pursuit of Diego Costa hots up the Brazilian-born striker's form just gets better and better: he is on top of La Liga and more lethal in front of goal even than both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Costa has already been signed up once this season with Vicente del Bosque bringing him into the Spain squad for this summer's World Cup. Jose Mourinho wants to follow suit at the end of the season and bring Costa to the Premier League.
The 25-year-old has scored 24 league goals this season – two more than Messi and three less than Ronaldo. But his shot conversion rate is higher than both his La Liga rivals with a one-in-three strike rate compared to Messi's one-in-four.
Top of the league: Diego Costa celebrates scoring the goal that beat Granada on Wednesday night
Head boy: Costa (centre) srises highest to nod the winner for Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon
Hotshot: The Brazilian-born striker is mobbed by his team-mates after yet another goal for Atletico
Hot-head: Granada keeper Roberto shouts at Costa, who has a volatile temperament but kept his cool here
The goal he scored which gave Atletico Madrid all three points against Granada on Wednesday was the team's 100th of the season - they are now only seven goals shy of a club record – and all this after they wondered how they would ever replace Radamel Falcao when he left at the end of last season for Monaco.
Why Costa is a hotter shot than Messi and Ronaldo...
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are superstars of the game but Diego Costa has arguably been even more impressive this season.
The table below shows the shots-to-goals ratios for players who have scored more than 10 times this season in La Liga.
And Costa has been an more deadly finisher than the Real and Barca superstars this term.
Player Goals Shot Conversion %
Ikechukwu Uche 12 42.86
Alexis Sanchez 17 35.42
Pedro 14 35
Diego Costa 24 30.38
David Villa 13 27.66
Lionel Messi 22 26.83
Javi Guerra 13 26
Carlos Bacca 14 25.45
Aritz Aduriz 11 25
Giovani dos Santos 10 23.81
Karim Benzema 17 23.29
Carlos Vela 11 21.57
Antoine Griezmann 15 20.83
Sergio Garcia 11 18.97
Gareth Bale 10 18.87
Ivan Rakitic 11 18.64
Cristiano Ronaldo 27 17.76
Youssef El-Arabi 11 16.67
Costa is not just a goalscorer. It is his ability to lead the line and bully defences that encouraged Del Bosque to bring him into the Spain fold.
One of the most noticeable things about Spain's defeat to Brazil in the Confederations Cup final last season was the way they were bullied by Phil Scolari's team. Costa does not get pushed around.
His ability to use the dark arts when necessary got him in trouble last season in the Europa League when he was banned for four games for a headbutt on David Limbersky of Viktoria Plzen, but since getting the call from Spain he has maintained his cool on the pitch and talked a good game off it, opening up about his humble beginnings in Lagarto, Brazil.
He was brought to Europe by Jorge Mendes after the superagent spotted him playing for Barcelona Esportivo in Brazil as a 15-year-old. The Mendes link will help Chelsea land their man as will Atletico Madrid's desire to keep another Mendes and Chelsea player goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois on loan for another season.
Atletico like to defend deep, suck teams in and hit them on the break. And Costa's pace and finishing thrive in such conditions. Leading the line for Spain looks set to be a more difficult task with rivals defending deep themselves and Costa has admitted he struggled to adapt on his debut against Italy - but Del Bosque has no doubts about the versatile striker.
He has the control and the intelligence to play with his back to goal and he is comfortable starting centrally and peeling off wide, leaving space for the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Andres Iniesta to run into.
Next season he could be doing just that for the likes of Hazard, Oscar and Wilian. He looks set to lead the line for Spain this summer at the expense of Fernando Torres. And it will be Torres' place he takes at Stamford Bridge if Mourinho gets his way.
Must try harder, Cristiano: Real Madrid striker Ronaldo lags behind Costa's chance conversion rate this term
Perfect 10: Lionel Messi scored again for Barcelona, but even his conversion rate lags behind Costa's
Fight to the finish: Atletico are in a three-way battle for the title with the two giants of Spanish football

Dear Friends,
It is with your continued and considerate support that we are able to work so hard to eradicate malnutrition and provide a healthier and happier future, one baby at a time. Even though Guatemala continues to maintain one of the highest levels of malnutrition in the world, our team at Wuqu' Kawoq works tirelessly day after day to ensure that progress is being made in our Child Nutrition program.
As a thank you for all of your help, we invite you to take a closer look into a day with some of our Wuqu' Kawoq workers. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to do what we love doing - serving our communities and inspiring change.
"Upon arriving in Chutinamit, we were immediately greeted with loud music, little kids in costumes, and plenty of smiling faces. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the children were from a local school who were putting on a dance for Carnaval, which is celebrated with bright and colorful costumes and masks, and painted cascarones (eggshells) with confetti.
I asked a woman standing next to me more about what the tradition symbolized, and she simply stated, "It is a day for the kids to be happy." A beautiful sentiment, and certainly one that Wuqu' Kawoq is striving towards. Meanwhile, a couple of feet away from the Carnival festivities, Yoli and German were busy weighing and measuring children inside one of the houses. After taking the measurements, Yoli spoke with the mothers about healthy eating for their children, such as incorporating more fruits and vegetables in their diet. This part is especially critical, since education is a lacking component within the communities we work.
Our next stop was in Nuevo Progreso, where we visited two homes. Again, Yoli and German took the measurements of the children to track the progress of their growth. So far, the children we have seen have been doing fairly well. At the second home in Nuevo Progreso, German informs me that this particular child has not been growing as expected. Because of this, Yoli has begun giving education classes with the mother to explain what types of beneficial changes can be made in the child's diet and lifestyle. As stated before, education is a crucial part in informing the mothers about proper nutrition, while also giving the mothers a sense of autonomy in improving her child's health.
Our final destination was Chichimuch, where we met with a beautiful baby girl who has been doing very well with her growth. After taking her measurements, we were dismayed to find out that her growth worsened slightly. Yoli and German sat down with the mother to find out the cause, whether her child had been sick or had not been eating as much as usual. Though there was nothing unusual in the child's health or eating habits, Yoli gave suggestions on different ways to prepare fruits, for example mixing mangoes into a smoothie, so that the growing baby could eat more.
It was a long day, but a typical one for Wuqu' Kawoq workers. The fight towards improving child malnutrition is a slow and arduous one, and each improvement in a child's growth is significant. Each improvement means a step further in providing a healthier and happier future, a future where every day is a day for the kids to be happy."

Dear Friends,
Healthy, Happy Babies! We have been working nonstop to transform the future, one baby at a time!
The reality that Guatemala has the highest level of childhood malnutrition in this hemisphere, 4th in the world is shocking and horrifying. At this moment, so many babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive, leaving the children stunted, or short short in stature for their age. This translates into children who appear to be 5 but are actually 7 or 8 years old.
You can see our exciting malnutrition program at work by empowered women in our communities!
It is not the short stature specifically that we are worried about, it is the fact that the loss of these inches directly correlates to lower IQ, it means slower development and missing milestones as an infant and toddler, milestones that I look for in my own daughters ages 4 and 1. Malnourished children will be slower to walk, slower to talk and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school resulting in a much lower life long income earning potential. These children will never reach the potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children.
But there is incredible Hope and Success!
With your help and support, we at Maya Health Alliance - Wuqu' Kawoq, have created a mobile primary health care system that saves lives through excellence and quality. Our nutrition program places baby and mom as critical actors to changing the future of Guatemala. Our Child Nutrition program provides universal nutritional and micronutrient supplementation to all children from 6 months of age onward and to all pregnant and lactating women. We also focus on educating child caregivers about breastfeeding, complementary foods, common childhood illnesses, hygiene and clean water through our community-based nutrition education classes. Additionally, the foundation for all of our nutrition programs is the provision of good primary care for children. Children with complex needs are immediately referred to our surgical or special needs programs.
We have helped over 2000 children this year and educated 500 mothers on Nutrition and Women's Health topics. I wanted to share these very exciting successes with you.

Dear Friends,
We often hear about Impact, but do we really know what it means?
Impact is important yet difficult to measure, and it can be even more difficult to really see. We are thrilled to bring you Gustavo, a baby boy who is growing and thriving because of donors like you!
In December, when Gustavo was almost 3 months old, he was malnourished and not growing at all. His mother was doing everything she could by nursing him, purchasing formula when she could and giving him all the love possible, but it wasn't enough.
Mom could not produce enough milk to help Gustavo grow and formula costs were so high for this poor family. When she came to us, Gustavo was at his birth weight, even though he was almost 3 months old. We knew action had to happen quickly in order to save him!
We began an intensive nutrition and education intervention. First, we learned about mom and her situation during a home visit. We learned that she had the most heart wrenching situation, she has lost a baby 2 years earlier in a similar situation as Gustavo. We quickly started Gustavo on the path to health with nutritional supplementation, education for the family, and close oversight from our team. Your partnership with us enabled our team to find this baby and provide him with education and initial life saving treatment.
We also partnered with our friends at Watsi who helped us to fund Gustavo's continued life saving care as he is not from one of our primary health care commnuities. Overall, we excited to link donors and organiations together to save lives! We are extremely thrilled with Gustavo's growth and beautiful smiles!
Thank you for saving a life today! I look forward to bringing you more success stories soon!
We have launched a new intervention to aggressively intervene with home visits for severely malnourished children.
As usual, we weigh and measure all the children under five years of age in our communities. We then chart the children's growth on World Health Organization curves for height and weight. When a child's growth appears alarming, we then try to figure out what's going on and how to fix it.
Remember, stunting is diagnosed when a child is short for their age. When you see stunted children, they look like healthy, plump little kids until you realize that they are really short and look about 6 months younger than they should appear. Guatemala has one of the highest rates of stunting in world and the highest rate in the Western Hemisphere.
Does it Matter is someone is a bit shorter?
You may think, "Does it matter if someone is a bit shorter?" Well, after fifty years of follow-up, the INCAP Nutrition Study has found that, as they grow up, children who were stunted have decreased school performance, reduced cognitive skills, higher probability of living in poverty, and some significantly worse health-related outcomes such as number of pregnancies in women. Think of this: A child whose height improves by one standard deviation at age three (e.g., going from from the 0.1 percentile to the 2.5 percentile) will earn on average 20% more money per year as an adult and will be 10% less likely to be poor.
The New Intervention: In Home, One-on-One education and Food Supplementation
In this new intervention, we identify the kids under age two that are "severely falling off their growth curves." We then make a visit to their homes, speak with their family, and conduct a medical work-up. We work to rule out things like hypothyroidism, congenital diseases, and parasites, and if children do have these–or any other–conditions we treat them. We send them for laboratory testing, imaging, and even surgery if they need it. We also give the child deworming medication and vitamins. We also focus heavily on one-on-one education with the family and mother on how to provide the best food and nutrition for their child.
We are particularly sensitive to the time when the child turns six months old, as this is the window when complementary foods should be given in addition to breastfeeding. Due to both economic considerations and education, many mothers delay the onset of complementary feeding or give foods that are very low in nutrients. Often, we see that children are growing just fine until they reach 6 months of age, at which point they basically stop growing.
In the "small picture," the intervention is exciting because we think we can really influence the individual children in our care. We will evaluate this new program as we move forward and report back to you.
Our Harvard medical student David working with the program says, "I must also confess that I love visiting these children. They are so fragile, so small, so innocent. They have so much more living to do, but their future is at stake. Thankfully, we have some tools to help. I can't think of anything that could be more worthwhile."
Thank you friends for your amazing support. Together, we are saving lives and creating better futures!
Dear friends, as I've written to you frequently over the last few years, we've been working hard to complement the core activities of this program, which include medical care and nutritional supplementation, with additional educational and support activities for mothers and fathers of young children.
Although education can't solve all problems, it is an important part of a comprehensive solution. For example, in a report we recently published (see the link below), we discovered that many parents struggled to understand the manifestations of chronic malnutrition in their children and, therefore, tended to present late for medical evaluation. Similarly, although most parents understood the need to feed their toddlers complementary foods starting at 6 months of age, they were less likely to appreciate the importance of meal frequency and a diverse range of food groups for their children's health.
Therefore, this year, our health promotion staff have launched an exciting range of new educational activities, which include dynamic small group classes and also individualized home visits. We've seen really positive changes in health behaviors and knowledge as a result. For example, when we tested parents knowledge before and after their participation, we discovered that, before participation, only 45% of parents felt well prepared to care for children with an episode of acute diarrhea. After participation, that number increased to 71%. As another example, before participation, only 52% of parents had a good sense of how frequently a young child should consume solid foods; after participation, this number increased to 81%.
Most importantly, our staff have been conducting followup evaluations of dietary quality in the children of participants. We are seeing that, after participations, children are consuming more food and more diverse foods as a result of their parents' new knowledge!
In conjunction with our ongoing medical care programs, growth monitoring, and nutritional supplement, we are really excited to see the additional accrued benefit of education to our communities as these programs continue to unfold this year.

Eric Bolte/Golf Canada Gordon M. Nixon (left), president and chief executive officer of RBC, and Scott Simmons, chief executive officer of Golf Canada, pose with the Olympic Golf Trophy at Hamilton Golf and Country Club.
The last time an Olympic golf trophy was awarded in 1904, the great Bobby Jones was 2 years old and golfers were just starting to use grooved-faced irons. That's 108 years ago.
So a rare piece of history was on display this week at the RBC Canadian Open, when the trophy awarded to Canadian George Lyon, the last Olympic golf gold medalist, was brought to Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario.
The sterling silver trophy cup stands about 1 1/2-feet tall and resides at the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario.
Lyon won the trophy — and gold medal — by beating reigning U.S. Amateur champ, American H. Chandler Egan, 3 and 2, at Glen Echo Country Club in Normandy, Mo., just north of St. Louis — site of the 1904 Olympic Games.
Lyon, an insurance salesman, apparently knew he had pulled off a huge upset at the time.
According to research by Golf Digest, Lyon celebrated his victory by walking through the clubhouse dining room on his hands. But due to the absence of many of the game's top golfers at the time, he also said, "I am not foolish enough to think that I am the best player in the world," Lyon told the Toronto Star, according to Golf Digest, "but I am satisfied that I am not the worst."
Golf was an Olympic sport only twice — in 1900 and 1904. Men's individual and women's individual events took place in 1900 while men's individual and men's team events were on the 1904 docket.
In 1900 in Paris, American Charles Sands won the men's individual gold while American Margaret Ives Abbott won the women's gold. In 1904, Lyon took gold while the Americans swept gold, silver and bronze in the team event.
Golf returns to the Olympics in 2016 in Rio. The format of the event is yet to be determined.

Newport, R.I. - The decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Saratoga left its port in Rhode Island on Thursday for its final journey to Texas, where it will be scrapped.
The ship departed Naval Station Newport and made its way down Narragansett Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. It is heading to the Esco Marine ship recycling plant in Brownsville, Texas. The Saratoga was supposed to leave Wednesday, but the voyage was postponed because of concern that storms were developing along the route.
Esco Marine is being paid a penny by the Navy to dispose of the Saratoga. It plans to make money by selling what it recovers from the ship.
"It's a sad day in a way to see a great lady finish her career by being towed off to be scrapped," said Bill Sheridan, who was involved in the effort to try to save the ship by turning it into a museum.
Tugs arrived at the station at 5:30 a.m. Thursday and the lines that had held the carrier to the pier for 16 years were cut. The carrier passed in the midmorning under Newport's Claiborne Pell Bridge and by Fort Adams, where people had gathered to watch it go.
More than 100 veterans from all eras of the carrier's life took part in a farewell ceremony at the naval station earlier this month. They walked along the pier, taking pictures and looking up at the Saratoga one last time.
The Saratoga - named for the decisive battle of the American Revolution fought in upstate New York - was commissioned in 1956 and completed 22 deployments before it was decommissioned in 1994. It was off the coast of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, off of Vietnam during the Vietnam War and in the Persian Gulf during the first Iraq War. It arrived in Newport in 1998 and fell into disrepair.
The Navy took the Saratoga off the donation list in 2010 after another carrier, the USS John F. Kennedy, became available for a museum. There are plans for a memorial to the Saratoga on board the future Kennedy museum.
The Saratoga, Sheridan said, is "gone but not forgotten, and always remembered in our hearts."

I also love fresh figs. This recipe can be made a little easier by using the caramel sauce that comes in a bottle, such as the stuff made by Ghirardelli. Nice combination of flavors.
First of all, I must start out by saying that I LOVE fresh figs! I was actually able to get the last of the season's for this recipe, and it was the perfect send-off for them until next year. I used Haagen-Dazs vanilla bean ice cream. This was absolutely delicious! Made for Newest Zaar Tag Game.

The Best Photo Booth Rental in Seattle To Consider
If you ever host or organize a party or any other event, it is an important thing for you to be able to immortalize the moments of the occasion using photos. By doing this, you make the guests of your party even feel more important.
The newest trend in photography currently is the use of photo booths. This is a single location or a small housing set apart in an event and can be operated by the touch of a button enabling people to take photos. The service can also include a technician for support. The technician ensures that there is smooth running of the appliances; again this is a sign of a professional attitude.
Delighted to hear this? Yes, this is all true and what's more you should check out, a trusted provider of photo booth rental services in Seattle. They will provide you the ultimate solution for your event photography needs and any they will take care of setting it up and have a person on the ground to ensure that it's running smoothly.
Currently, having a photo booth in an event is a sign of successful planning. It provides a great opportunity to interact with each other as they take selfies and snapshots. It is possible to customize the photo booth to the clients taste.
Photo booths are very applicable in wedding events. Every bride wants to record the occasion for a long time to come. There is no better-placed option for this than having photo booths stationed in the event. The bride and bridegroom will be at liberty to pose at the booth and immortalize this special moment for a long time to come. This is why this option has become very desirable to event managers as compared to the alternative of hiring a professional photographer to do the job. The couple is at liberty to pose whichever way they want unlike when in front of a photographer.This allows the guests to be themselves when inside the booth as it's a bit awkward to pose in some styles in front of the photographer.
It's not easy to be able to settle on the best photo booth. Your particular taste of the best photo booth may not be necessarily the best for me. It is, therefore, important to look around for the very best kind of service that will also fit your budget.…

In early December I underwent rotator cuff surgery. Turned out to be a major tear that could not be addressed arthroscopicly, resulting in a 6 inch incision on my dominant shoulder where they went in and set screws around which they rebuilt my 'cuff.
I was told that recovery would be painful and it has proven to be, with rehab proving particularly perplexing. Unmedicated sleep proves illusive, which has made Percocet something of a godsend. My usual bedtime regimen involves 4 ibuprofen and 2 melatonin. If I'm still awake an hour after that I take a Percocet and that does the trick for four hours or so.
Or at least use to. At my last follow up with my ortho surgeon I was informed federal and state scrutiny would prevent future Percocet scripts. With full recovery forecast to take until December that bodes a number of unpleasant months. Thanks drug warriors; here's a piece from an MD noting similar folly:
I note GM provides another unsourced and unresponsive critique to a post of mine, all while failing to realize the War on Drugs he doggedly supports creates the endless perverse incentives he blithely cites as reason to continue policies that have utterly failed by any rational measure. I've stopped responding to posts here--and many other worthwhile voices have been stifled--due to GM's intransigence and unpleasant rhetorical habits. This is Crafty's list and he's welcome to measure benefits and costs as he pleases, but a lot of folks have been driven out of the conversations by the unresponsive, snarky, authoritarian badgering GM traffics in.
Don't believe me? Watch this:
GM: can you name a single criteria by which the War On Drugs can be measured a success? You failed to do so before, launching into all sorts of facile sophistry rather than answer the question at hand. So respond to the fucking question. Can you name a single criteria by which the WOD can be considered a success? If you can't name one will you stop supporting a policy that has failed by any sane measure?
If that past is a predicate GM won't answer the question, or provide any rational measure of success, all while continuing to ardently support folly that has lead to the warehousing of millions of Americans, hundreds of billions of dollars spent, gross abuse of founding principles, all without rates of addiction falling while banned substances continue to cost less in terms of real dollars, and then castigating anyone who points out the gross counterproductivity of it all. Sigh.
This question wasn't answered the first dozen times I asked it; I won't be around to see how it's answered the 13th time. Crafty, feel free to drop me a line should it become possible to ask a simple question here without contending with a circular, ad hominem response that fails to address the matter at hand.

Public Advocate Tish James Is Very Unhappy About the MTA Taking Ads From "Unlawful, Illegal" Airbnb
A scandalous Airbnb ad in Penn Station.
Image via Public Advocate's office
Once again, rental site Airbnb was back in court yesterday with New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office, fighting allegations that the site is running illegal hotels (and, by extension, not paying its cut to the state in taxes). The company won a mini-victory yesterday, after a federal judge ruled that the AG's subpoena for information on all Airbnb hosts in New York state was overly broad. According to the Washington Post, though, the AG is not to be deterred, and plans to simply rewrite the request in a more legal way.
So Airbnb isn't off the hook by any means, and now, to top things off, the Metropolitan Transit Authority is in a spot of trouble too, merely for running their ads. New York City's Public Advocate Letitia "Tish" James wrote a stern letter on May 12 to Tom Prendergast, who heads the MTA, demanding to know why the authority accepts advertisements for an "unlawful" service. Just to drive the point home, she compared Airbnb to a site that advertises escorts.
- See also: Internet Privacy Groups Say Attorney General's Airbnb Subpoena is an Illegal "Fishing Expedition" for Information on Users
James demanded to know why there are Airbnb ads on digital billboards in Penn Station, calling it "disconcerting" that the MTA would accept such an ad while the investigation into the company is ongoing. She wants a list of where all the Airbnb ads are in the subway system (we've certainly seen them on the 2/3 train a time or two) and to see all the correspondence between the company and the MTA.
She also suggested that the MTA isn't keeping a close enough eye on the content of the ads it runs:
Finally, I wish to have any other policies or rules for permitting content at these locations. Do you allow any firm to utilize your advertisement space? Do you review legal issues or consult with the Attorney General prior to allowing such use? How would the MTA distinguish between AirBnB and an online website that caters to escorts or other activities, where the firm asserts their neutral position, but if as the Attorney General asserts, allows users to overwhelmingly engage in illegal activities? Would the MTA permit such use?
The gross and illegal commercialization by certain firms of New York's limited housing stock using AirBnb and the promotion of such use on MTA property is detrimental to the City and needs to end. Therefore, until AirBnb reforms its business practices and ceases to allow an overwhelming amount of unlawful/illegal practices from transpiring on their platform, the MTA should stop allowing it from using its advertising space.

The appropriateness of various MTA ads is a hot issue lately; you might remember Governor Andrew Cuomo's recent freak-out over subway ads advertising breast augmentation. In that case, after a bit of back and forth, the MTA said politely it would work on maintaining a "family-friendly" atmosphere on its trains (because nothing is more dangerous or offensive to the eyes of families than breasts).
In the case of Airbnb, though, the MTA isn't budging, because despite James' assertions to the contrary, no one has actually decided that Airbnb is in violation of the law (and perhaps because the public advocate's office has no enforcement power whatsoever to give its complaints any teeth). A spokesman tells the Voice, ""The MTA understands Public Advocate James' concerns about housing affordability in New York. Our advertising standards prohibit us from displaying advertisements that promote unlawful or illegal services, but the Attorney General's investigation is in its early stages and to date there has been no determination that Airbnb's services are illegal."
The full letter from the Public Advocate's office is on the following page.

Roche Third-Quarter Sales Fell on Lower Tamiflu Demand
Roche Holding AG, the world's biggest maker of cancer drugs, reported a 7 percent decline in third-quarter revenue as demand for the Tamiflu antiviral fell.
Sales dropped to 11.5 billion Swiss francs ($12.1 billion) from 12.4 billion francs a year earlier, the Basel, Switzerland- based company said today in an e-mailed statement. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had a median estimate of 11.8 billion francs. Roche doesn't release quarterly earnings.
Tamiflu sales tumbled after the pandemic swine flu that swept the globe last year waned and government orders for stockpiles of the drug were filled. Roche said it expects global health reform to cut revenue growth, stripping about 2 percentage points off sales this year and 2.5 percentage points in 2011. Sales of the Avastin cancer medicine, the company's best-seller, are under threat because of U.S. and European regulatory reviews of the drug's use in breast cancer.
"The top three products missed our estimates and Avastin's not looking good," said Carri Duncan, an analyst at Macquarie Group in Zurich. "We've seen sequentially that growth in Avastin sales is coming down and I don't see how it's going to get better."
A strong Swiss franc weighed on revenue during the third quarter, reducing the value of sales generated in other currencies, the company said.
The shares declined 70 centimes, or 0.5 percent, to close at 138.4 francs in Zurich.
Full-year Forecast
Roche reiterated its forecast for the year, saying core earnings per share, which excludes exceptional items and amortization and impairment of intangible assets, will probably increase at a double-digit pace in 2010 at constant exchange rates. The company wasn't more specific. Sales are expected to grow in the mid-single-digit range in local currencies. The outlook excludes revenue from Tamiflu.
Sales of Tamiflu, which can ease the symptoms and duration of infection with flu, dropped to 98 million francs during the third quarter from 994 million francs a year earlier. Roche said it expects the medicine to bring as much as 1 billion francs in revenue this year. The World Health Organization in August declared an end to the pandemic.
Avastin Sales
Sales of Avastin increased about 1 percent to 1.61 billion francs, below analyst estimates of 1.69 billion francs. Roche is seeking to reassure investors that growth remains intact after the drug failed in several clinical trials this year and health regulators examined its use against breast malignancies. The company halted development of the drug as a therapy for colorectal cancer after initial treatment.
An advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July voted 12 to 1 in favor of rescinding the so-called accelerated approval for Avastin in breast cancer. The agency on Sept. 17 delayed Roche's application to expand use of the drug against breast tumors, while European regulators said Sept. 24 that they would review use of the medicine against the same disease. The medicine is approved for several cancer types, including colorectal and lung tumors.
"Regulatory and reimbursement uncertainty" over Avastin's use against breast cancer weighed on sales of the therapy in the U.S. during the third quarter, Roche said.
No Signs of Impact
"A number of physicians are wondering about the future of the indication," Pascal Soriot, head of the Swiss company's pharmaceuticals division, said on a conference call. The company "hasn't seen any signs of an impact" from the European review of the drug, he said. Roche isn't promoting Avastin's use against breast cancer in the U.S. pending an FDA decision on the drug, Soriot said separately.
Peak annual sales of the medicine would likely be at the low end of the company's current forecast of 8 billion to 9 billion Swiss francs if the FDA were to revoke approval, Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan has said.
Third-quarter revenue from MabThera, used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis, increased about 1 percent to 1.52 billion francs, lagging analyst estimates of 1.57 billion francs.
Sales of Herceptin, which targets the HER-2 protein linked to breast tumor growth, rose about 2 percent to 1.36 billion francs from 1.33 billion francs. The drug in January won European approval as a treatment for stomach cancer that has spread in patients who test positive for HER-2.
Genentech Acquisition
The three medicines were developed by U.S. biotechnology company Genentech Inc., which Roche fully acquired last year for $46.8 billion. Roche is getting more income from the top-selling drugs thanks to the acquisition, which the company expects to yield savings of 1 billion francs a year by 2011.
The Swiss company has also had drug development setbacks this year, including delays to the experimental T-DM1 breast cancer medicine and the taspoglutide diabetes treatment.
Revenue from the Swiss company's pharmaceuticals business fell 9 percent to 9 billion francs from 9.9 billion francs a year earlier. Revenue from the diagnostics division gained less than 1 percent to 2.48 billion francs. Roche is seeking to weave the two businesses more tightly together to better match patients with the most suitable treatments.

These six segments sizzle as beautiful bodies get nasty, and crisp, clean camerawork captures everything. Yvette and her tanned muscleman get steamy with a hot 69 poolside, and then he rams her standing before she jerks him clean. Box cover beauty Sarah gets DP'd and starts a string of face dumps that includes Viktoria (on the rooftop), Monica Unco (a tits-n-twat picnic lunch) and Claudia Rossi (a bedroom ass-to-mouth). Blondes Demi Cool and Jacqueline eat each other's clams by the pool before Jacqueline substitutes for missing man meat with a condomed cucumber.
Retailing: Good stroker material, alone or with a partner.

Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Good for anyone in search of new cocoa dreamboats and real physiques.
A generous sampling of brown girls (African American, Asian-, and Island-) with natural bodies and full bushes makes RD6 a strong arrival. Another valuable quality is some powerhouse, deep throat cock-sucking and agressive flesh pounding. The complete racial, rainbow is on display, mixing it up with fairly high results. There are five scenes, of which two-and-a-half are keepers.

A man's body has been found on a beach near the mouth of the
Kahurangi River on the West Coast.
The body was discovered at the high tide mark this morning by
two trampers walking along the beach. Items believed to
belong to the dead man were also located.
This afternoon police took the body to Greymouth and were
working to identify the person and establish the cause of
death. Formal identification was expected to take some time.
The man was wearing a wetsuit, Sergeant Brett Currie said.

Hi All, I was listening to the S beacon of UO-11 at 2401.500 MHz +/- doppler to day 1 March 2004 during two Northbound orbits, the first one with AOS at 14:16 and the second one with AOS at 15:52 from JN70ES The carrier of the beacon was peaking max 12 dB over the noise with a slow QSB and the level was changing slowly from 8 to 12 dB over the noise as seen on a spectrum analyser connected to the S band converter 145 MHz IF Doppler was about +45 KHz at AOS and the beacon appears at about 2401.545 MHz on acquisition. At TCA i.e. the Time of Closest Approach the frequency appears to be 2401.505 MHz i.e. about 5 KHz higher than nominal. At LOS the doppler was about -45 KHz I was receiving UO-11 with the same S band setup used for AO40 i.e. 1.2 meter dish with 3 turns helix feed and 110 kelvin overall noise temperature receiving system. In this receiving system the AO40 MB was strong about 21 dB over the noise at apogee with low squint angle. I do not recall exacly if the S band antenna of UO-11 is LHCP or RHCP but looking at a pictorial it seams that UO-11 uses two different LHCP helices and we are receiving using RHCP antennas ! It would be very interesting to have exact information about the S band antenna polarization of UO-11 I recall very well that the S band beacon of UO-11 was very usefull for many of us in preparation of AO40 and it seams that the UO-11 signal strenght at 2401.500 MHz is not to much reduced. The S beacon of UO-11 can still do a nice job now for beginners preparing for the future with P3-E Nice birthday to our old friend satellite UO-11 ! 73" de i8CVS Domenico ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

BRYAN, Texas -- With the the 2013-2014 school year winding down, KBTX Media and Blinn College hosted the 19th annual Classroom Champions Banquet Wednesday night at Christopher's World Grille.
32 of this year's 34 Classroom Champions were in attendance.
KBTX General Manager Mike Wright, along with Sylvia McMullen, president of Blinn College in Bryan, congratulated the students athletes on their accomplishments both on the field and in the classroom.
Texas A&M All American Swimmer and 2012 Olympian Breeja Larson was the featured speaker and passed along some sound advice to the soon to be college freshman.
"Don't let money, your friends, don't let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams," said Larson.
"You have to do what you love, not what your parents love. Whether it be music, sports, or academics. Just really, really chase after your dreams," concluded Larson.
To date KBTX Media has crowned 637 Classroom Champions with the first one being Amy Gregory from Centerville High School back in 1995.

Divorce Without Vows
A marriage certificate doesn't guarantee a happy union. But as Susan Sarandon has learned, neither does its absence.
Regardless of their politics, Americans owe Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins gratitude for this: that their 23-year relationship unraveled, and ended, far from the public eye.
The couple separated over the summer, and apparently no fire hydrants were harmed in the process, no emergency medical technicians were summoned. It was late December before word of the break-up trickled out to the tabloids, and two weeks later the actors are still not talking, except to confirm through a publicist that they split.
It's horrible—or, cynics might say, fortuitous—timing for Ms. Sarandon, who has been busy promoting "The Lovely Bones," in which she plays the glamorous grandmother of the dead teenager who narrates the film. In Alice Sebold's book, on which the movie is based, Grandma Lynn wears lots of makeup and a secondhand mink and swoops in to rescue a family collapsing into grief and despair. Along the way, she endeavors to stop her daughter from blowing up her marriage via an affair with a brooding detective. "I know something is going on that isn't kosher," she tells her daughter. "Capisce?"
Capisce, we do. Ms. Sarandon, whose seemingly golden "domestic partnership" with Mr. Robbins was the stuff of Hollywood legend, is desirous of preserving marriages on screen, but not so much in real life. She famously declined to wed Mr. Robbins, the father of her two sons, because she worried such a stuffy and archaic ritual might harm their relationship.
"I won't marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted, or him taking me for granted," she once said. "Maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80."
Of course, many married people have a good excuse for a party when they're about 80—they're called golden anniversaries, and they're great. A pinnacle of married life, the 50th-anniversary party is a joyous celebration of love, perseverance and forbearance, virtues no less noble because they are lightly enforced by the state. The marriage certificate, surrendered at a divorce hearing, does not guarantee a happy union, but neither does the absence of one, as Ms. Sarandon learned.
Presumably multimillionaires both, neither Ms. Sarandon nor Mr. Robbins need worry about the fair distribution of accumulated household goods, nor the continued economic well-being of their offspring. This is an advantage of class not enjoyed by visitors to the New York soup kitchens where Ms. Sarandon volunteers; less fortunate women and men best take their partners for granted and obtain a marriage license. Its legal protections are small comfort when a marriage implodes, but small comfort is better than none.
Pat Conroy called divorce "the death of a small civilization." The dissolution of a domestic partnership doesn't have quite the same ring. It is, we can only assume, less painful for the partners, if not for their children. Having not arrayed themselves in finery and stood before a man or woman of the collar or a justice of the peace, revealing themselves to be foolish romantics by uttering words like "cherish" and "honor," they have no crow to consume. Without spoken vows and the subsequent legal entwining, taking leave of one another after nearly a quarter of a century becomes a passage not unlike buying a new mattress or getting a new job. Initially, there's discomfort and readjustment, but, hey, nothing lasts forever.
If their split was amicable—an achievement as rare as a golden anniversary—Ms. Sarandon and Mr. Robbins may sit together at college graduations and in hospital waiting rooms without rancor. But the dismantling of their "domestic partnership," whatever that was about, remains the dissolution of a domestic partnership with children, what some of us call a family.
All of us call that a shame.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2005
Running Time: 114
Company: Totally Tasteless Video
Cast: Wiley Boyd, Shai (I), Black Cat, Tom Moore, Sierra (I), Spice, Chance Caldwell, Damien Walters, Paradise
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Black goddesses strap on big rubber cocks and anally service their white male lovers. In the two best scenes, Paradise teaches geeky tutor Wiley Boyd a thing or two about anal pleasures and gets an A-plus, and Damien Walters gets rejected in a job interview by soft-spoken boss Black Cat, who fucks him over a desk and still doesn't give him the job!
There's a little light Fem-Dom action here, but for the most part, this is kinder, gentler strap-on sex, with very little verbal abuse or humiliation and mostly slow-paced, almost tender fucking. The music is a little cheesy (especially in the Black Cat/Walters pairing) and the action sort of routine.
Retailing: In the strap-on section, point out to those who like interracial themes.

How do I get red wine out of Sisal carpets and rugs before it stains?
How do I get red wine out of Sisal carpets and rugs before it stains?
WELL I ACTUALLY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION... But the stain has to be fresh, as I don?t know the effectiveness of this solution on old stains.
Fill half a cup/mug with water, and the other half with WHITE vinegar. Dampen a clean cloth with the solution, open out the cloth and place over the stain. Tread over the cloth repeatedly with your feet to absorb and agitate the wine. Rinse the cloth with clean water, squeeze, and add more of the vinegar solution and repeat again.
Rinse the cloth and add more of the solution, but this time rub the affected area LIGHTLY with (NOT AGAINST) the grain of the carpet. If you?re not sure what, with/against the grain means, you?ll have to Google it.
Finally, find a DRY clean cloth to place over the dampened area of carpet/rug, and once again tread the excess liquid out of the carpet and leave to dry. Please keep in mind that sisal goes very dark when wet but will return to its normal shade when dry.
I have used this method personally (admittedly with a carpet treated with scotch guard) and it has left the carpet stainless after I had spilt a substantial amount of dark red wine. Though do follow these guidelines with caution as different sisal carpets may vary.

I'm using WP 3.4.2, twenty eleven theme. My site is very slow, especially when registering, or working in admin. I've done all I can find on the internet, without modifying any code, as I am not a programmer. Enabled W3TC, optimized database, enabled CDN (cloudflare). Hostpapa insists it's my code, but I have not changed anything.
I have tried deactivating all plug-ins and it didn't make an appreciable difference. I'm not comfortable editing scripts unless I have no choice.

Before reaching his twentieth birthday, British film director J. Lee Thompson was an established repertory actor and playwright. He entered films as an actor in 1934, then switched to screenwriting (usually in collaboration) five years later. Lee-Thompson's directorial debut was Murder Without Crime (1950), but it was his second picture, the noirish The Yellow Balloon (1951), which established him...

Politics Let's See Action
posted by August 6 at 12:55 PMon
I was excited about the group that Mike McGinn started up earlier this year.
McGinn's groupSeattle Great City Initiativewas out to reclaim Seattle's neighborhood movement for those of us who live in Seattle's neighborhoods and support density, and transit alternatives, and lifting unnecessary mandates like parking requirements on developers.
I was also excited that McGinn, a charismatic go-getter, wasn't running for office, but instead was trying to organize at the grassroots level to create public demand for green urban planning so that office holders wouldn't feel shy about voting for change.
When his group had its official kickoff in May (they'd actually already been in action for several months), McGinn hyped the city's "Complete Streets" initiative as one of the group's accomplishments. The "Complete Streets" initiative dictates that any new roads fixes in the city must be designed with pedestrians and bicyclists as part of the equation.
Well, I'm a little disappointed in McGinn right now. As ECB has been reporting, the redesign on Stone way KO'd a planned bike lane.
This is a perfect opportunity for McGinn to make good on his mission to tap Seattle's progressive neighborhood base and put his idea of demand-side politics in play. It's also a great political opportunity to make his (I thought promising) group relevant.
I'm sure McGinn will have some hot quotes regarding Nickels's amnesia when it comes to the Bike Master Plan, but hot quotes aren't enough.

well there's still several issues of the stranger in print for you to make an issue of this idiot--before the election.
what was he thinking???
Did you call your mommy and complain about this? Was Josh's feelings hurt?
There, there.
Please accept my personal apology for this misunderstanding, for which I am completely responsible. As you know, this is the first debate I have organized, and it certainly showed.
My goal was to offer the citizens of our state a chance to see a real debate between the two candidates for the State Supreme Court, with a real nonpartisan approach. It is an important race, and if I had not done this, I believe that there would be no debate.
Given that I only started work on this 2 days ago, and that the election rapidly approaches (with many folks having already voted by mail), I could probably try to excuse a couple of the mistakes I made.
But that would be disrespectful to you, the staff of the Stranger, your readers, the two candidates, and the other folks associated with the event.
There IS no excuse.
I was excited about making the debate happen, and handled some things too fast and too informally by phone.
I do not dispute your right to disagree with the Johnson campaign about matters of policy... or whatever you want.
But the mistakes on this one were MINE.
I like the kind of issues advocacy the Stranger does, and I hope to put together more forums in the future with you, Dan, or other staffers. Because I think looking at issues can and should be more fun, and debate more spirited.
You have legitimate cause to be unhappy about the way things happened with this. All I can do is to accept responsibility for my mistakes, and work harder next time to make sure that I do a better job.
I hope your readers enjoy the debate. On a personal lavel, I hope that you can forgive my mistakes this time, and give me a chance to work with you on similar events in the future.
Phil Bevis
I'm surprised that more hasn't been made of the fact that the BIAW has basically, openly said that they're going to buy the Supreme Court through their candidate, Stephen Johnson, and current "Justice" Jim Johnson.
It seems that there would be more outrage in a state like Washington that still encourages people to believe judicial independence is real instead of admitting it's a just sham controlled by the richest, whitest and most heterosexual (hello Alabama, Texas, et al!).
You hear the Dino Rossi radio spots for "independent candidate" Doug Ralstone in either District 1 or 2?
Downtown Republicans Club? That's downtown Bellevue, right?
well when i read his info in the voter's pamphlet and got to his endorsement by dino "where the fuck is he now" rosi, i knew he wasn't getting my vote.
If the right wing buys a judical seat this round - god forbid what is next.
Susan Owens deserves the vote and support of every progressive reader of SLOG.
Mr. Johnson is a shill for the folks we have all been fighting for years. They have learned it seems that Ellen Craswell types are too obviously not qualified.
Slicker wrapped box, same old conservative garbage inside. Dino plus one.
Vote and support Susan Owens, I urge you.
Well it looks more like a set up to me than anything else. Phil Bevis goes out and picks the most far right demogog he can find and in a week effort to have balance gets Josh to say yes. The Owens people say yes, time goes by and then Stephy says he will pull out. So, what does Phil do? Start from scratch or call Goldy? No, he keeps Stephy and gets Joel who is not likely to hold his own.
Look, this org is no league of woman voters. We are talking the downtown republican mens club, recently renamed. The same club that Jennifer Dunn installed Dino Rossi as president of.
Owens should pull out unless Stephy is replaced with David Postman.
Owens has pulled out. This is the right move.
Eh, we all lost with this one.
Feit/Sharkansky were balanced against each other, opinionated and intelligent. It would have been an excellent debate.
