Joyce Figueroa Goedeke, a resident of Kenmore, was chosen from a pool of 82 applicants to fill the position.
"As a Bothell-area resident of more than 20 years, I'm very excited to be a part of the City of Bothell team," said Goedeke. "There are so many great things happening here and by working together, communication between the City, our communities, and the media can only improve."

Her past positions include anchor/reporter at KCMU radio station in Seattle, associate producer at KING Broadcasting Company's Evening Magazine show, and working in public relations at Starbucks Coffee Company.

We have accomplished some exemplary things with the communty's resources in the time I have been in Bothell, but we've never gotten the word out consistently on what we have accomplished. We are also looking for new ways to connect with our community members, to find out what is important to them. I know that Joyce will help us achieve these goals, and the citizens of Bothell will appreciate being better informed."

CBNNews.com - Less foreign children are being adopted by Americans, as prospective parents face financial struggles and outside government restrictions.
The State Department reported that the number of overseas children taken in by parents in the U.S. went from nearly 23,000 in 2004 to just over 17,000 in 2008.
Experts also predict the number of foreign adoptions in 2009 could drop by 5,000 more children.
"This is a difficult economic time, and people don't add to their family when they are worried about losing their job or their home," Linda Brownlee, executive director of the Adoption Center of Washington, told the Washington Times.
Greater Struggles Overseas
Brownlee is now urging Americans to realize that while the U.S. faces financial difficulties, the struggles are even greater overseas.
"It is more difficult for families to keep their children in struggling countries, and more children end up in orphanages," Brownlee explained. "When families adopt from an orphanage, they often continue supporting in some way the orphanage, making it a little bit better."
Lower adoptions in Russia and China accounted for most of the 2008 decline.
Stricter regulations also account for the decline. Russian officials have placed tighter regulations on adoption agencies in recent years after fears of negligent parents. The country also has failed to sign onto the Hague Adoption Convention, an agreement that sets international standards for adoptions between countries.
High cost of foreign adoptions has also turned parents away.
Dr. Jane Aronson, the self-proclaimed "Orphan Doctor," says it's more important now than ever to continue funding to adoption agencies and groups working with orphans in other countries.
"We need solutions to help the children left behind," she said.

The Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office was the focus of an immigration-related protest.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that dozens of people protested outside the Sheriff's Office in Las Cruces on Tuesday.
The Border Network for Human Rights says the Sheriff's Office's personnel engage in immigration enforcement during traffic stops -- which the Sheriff's Office denies doing.
The network presented the Sheriff's Office with a petition urging various steps, including instructing deputies to not ask about immigration status or request Social Security numbers during routine traffic stops.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kelly Jameson says deputies don't ask such questions under those circumstances and don't act as federal immigration agents.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
Sand martins are the smallest European hirundines (martins and swallows), with dark brown upper parts and dark under wings contrasting with otherwise pale under parts divided by a distinctive dark chest bar. Agile fliers, feeding mainly over water, they will perch on overhead wires or branches. They are gregarious in the breeding season and winter. Over the past 50 years the European population has crashed on two occasions as a result of drought in the birds' African wintering grounds.
Riparia riparia
Swallows and martins (Hirundinidae)
Found along rivers and other water bodies throughout the UK. Also found around man-made gravel pits where artificial nesting banks are sometimes provided.
March to October
Invertebrates, taken on the wing.
* UK breeding is the number of pairs breeding annually. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March. UK passage is the number of individuals passing through on migration in spring and/or autumn.

Even a duke gets the munchies.
While traveling to Memphis, Tennessee, to attend nightclub entrepreneur and friend Guy Pelly's wedding, William, Duke of Cambridge, 31, made a stop in Chicago where he grabbed a bite at O'Hare International Airport's Terminal 5.
William, who recently celebrated his three-year wedding anniversary with Kate Middleton, enjoyed pulled chicken nachos from Hub 51 and chicken wings from RJ Grunts in a private Swiss Air Lounge.
"A hostess and server from the restaurants took great care of him before he jetted off," says an onlooker.
William will meet up with his brother, Prince Harry, 29, in Memphis on Saturday for Pelly's wedding. Harry passed through Miami for some post-split partying before their pal's big day.

Staff writer
An Ursuline nun who helped run Catholic schools in Wilmington, Del., has been named the new superintendent for Catholic schools around metropolitan New Orleans, the Archdiocese of New Orleans announced Friday.
Sister Kathleen Finnerty, who was assistant superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Wilmington, Del., will take over the Catholic education system in time for the upcoming school year, the archdiocese said.
The hire marks the Catholic system's return to a superintendent with traditional educational credentials.
She succeeds the Rev. William Maestri, a theologian, writer and public policy specialist who led the system through the Herculean effort to reopen damaged schools after Hurricane Katrina, but whose impatient executive style sometimes alienated parents and other potential partners.
Finnerty was principal of four New York schools before becoming assistant superintendent of schools in her Delaware diocese eight years ago.
In an interview Friday, Finnerty said she wasn't seeking a career change when she came to New Orleans for an educational conference in March.
The trip was a revelation, she said.
"The images first-hand were very different from what we saw on television," she said. "Whereas the experience of that day was of driving for blocks, and seeing house after house -- and seeing that nobody was able to start rehabbing..."
"And that stayed with me."
Back in Wilmington, Finnerty said she went to the Web site of the National Catholic Educational Association to check an unrelated item. She happened upon the archdiocese's advertisement for a new superintendent.
"The two things came together and I just couldn't shake it."
Finnerty said she went to her superior. "I need someone to tell me I'm crazy."
"Maybe not," her superior replied. "Maybe it's the work of the Spirit."
Finnerty, who would not disclose her age, was reared in Manhattan and has masters degrees in religious studies from Villanova and educational administration from Fordham.
Archbishop Alfred Hughes offered Finnerty the job Thursday after he interviewed her, said the Rev. Neal McDermott, who heads the archdiocese's Department of Christian Formation. She was the unanimous recommendation of a search committee who interviewed three of 11 applicants, he said.
McDermott said the committee was impressed with her experience. He also called her "a moderating influence" able to bring disparate camps together.
In addition, "so many of our principals and high school presidents are women -- I think she'll work well with them," he said. And he noted that she is a member of the Ursuline order -- the most senior Catholic educators in the city, having come to New Orleans in 1727.
With her appointment so fresh, Finnerty said she has much to learn before offering an analysis of the school system's major problems. In the parochial school system, individual schools are loosely connected to the archdiocese, which sets specific policy, education and employment guidelines while leaving schools with considerable administrative leeway.
Even in its storm-damaged state, the New Orleans system is much larger than the Wilmington system she is leaving.
The Wilmington diocese, which covers parts of Delaware and Maryland, has about 39 Catholic schools and 15,000 students. Even with 24 local schools closed, the New Orleans archdiocese said it runs 83 schools with 42,000 students in eight civil parishes around metropolitan New Orleans.
Broadly, Finnerty said her main goal will be to help all schools maintain their Catholic identity while achieving academic excellence.
Since the storm, Catholic schools, especially in New Orleans, have maintained an aggressive open door policy to all students, regardless of ability to pay. The offer was made in the face of a chronic shortage in public school openings.
Asked whether she would continue the policy, she begged off answering, saying she was not up to speed on local conditions.

EVERGREEN — Alex Aafedt, Brady Bokelman and Jack Kwiat walked off their home basketball court as winners for the final time Feb. 17.
By Matthew Van Deventer — For the Courier
EVERGREEN — While foothills ski teams are at a disadvantage because they can't get to the slopes as often as their high-country opponents, several such as Evergreen, Platte Canyon and Clear Creek will be represented at the alpine and nordic skiing state championships Feb. 25 and 26 in Aspen.
Teams compete in four events: giant slalom, slalom, skate and classic.
(Reprinted from Feb. 27, 2013)
Winter is now deeply entrenched in spite of some exceptionally warm days and spring-like temperatures. We still need snow, but selfishly, I am pleased not to have it.
We need the moisture right now for we had a long, dry summer. However, we will need rain badly by the time spring and more tourists return to the mountains because the large amount of dry grass will present a wildfire problem this spring.
(Reprinted from Feb. 25, 2009)
It was 8 degrees above zero when I went out this morning, and Our Evergreen World was shimmering with hoarfrost.
Every, twig, stem and pine needle was encrusted with diamonds. Our entire landscape shimmered like Tiffany's window. Backlit by the rising sun, each tree and shrub was a scintillating piece of jewelry.
HIGHLANDS RANCH — Everything was going as planned for Evergreen's girls basketball team Feb. 11 at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch.
The Cougars held a 20-11 lead with three minutes to play in the second quarter thanks to a 9-0 run against the defending Class 4A state champion Eagles (19-1, 13-0 in 4A Jeffco). However, Evergreen coach Amy Bahl knew Valor wouldn't go down without a fight on its home court.
EVERGREEN — Former Major League Baseball great Jack Clark drove from St. Louis to Evergreen last week to share his wealth of knowledge of baseball.
Clark had an 18-season career in MLB, where he was named a four-time all-star. He played for the San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, San Diego Padres and Boston Red Sox from 1975-1992. Clark was one of the most feared power-hitters in the game during his heyday.
EVERGREEN — There are few guarantees is sports.
Take Evergreen's boys basketball as an example. The Cougars (15-6, 9-4 in Class 4A Jeffco League) aren't even locked into a spot in the 32-team 4A state tournament. Evergreen finished third behind Valor Christian (20-1, 12-1) and Golden (16-5, 12-1) in one of the two divisions in 4A Jeffco.
Williams lone state qualifier
Evergreen junior Connor Williams took the difficult route to the state wrestling tournament. Williams had to win three consolation matches at the Class 4A Region 4 tournament Feb. 13 at Discovery Canyon High School in Denver to take fourth at 106 pounds. The junior was the only state qualifier for the Cougars. Williams will compete at the three-day 4A state tournament that begins at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, at Pepsi Center.
McNeil to represent Clear Creek
By Craig Harper — For the Courier
THORNTON — Evergreen's Katrin Lewis and Kate McDonald traveled different paths, but arrived at the same destination.
(Reprinted from Feb. 25, 2015)
Once more, a fine snow is drifting down on the meadows that surround me. Elk Run Assisted Living is located in an offshoot of the Elk Meadow Open Space area. I watched the fog move across the meadow and as usual this time of year, it brought another snowstorm with it. The grasses in the meadow are dry, tan or yellow, with nary a sign of spring green.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Red
The high, insect-like reeling song of the grasshopper warbler is the best clue to its presence. Even when you hear one it can be difficult to locate it due to the ventriloquial effect of its singing. If seen on migration it moves like a little mouse, creeping through the foliage. Dramatic population declines have made this a Red List species.
Locustella naevia
Warblers and allies (Sylviidae)
Found scattered across the UK in summer, although less common in Scotland. Likes areas of scrub, thick grassland, the edges of reedbeds, new forestry plantations and gravel pits with plenty of scattered bushes.
Birds arrive from mid-April and leave again in August and September. Best listened for between April and July when they perch and sing from songposts, mostly at dawn and dusk but often through the night.
* UK breeding is the number of pairs breeding annually. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March. UK passage is the number of individuals passing through on migration in spring and/or autumn.

Let the rivalry between VW heads and Honda nuts continue.; These two engines accomplish the same thing — 200hp.; But they do it in very different ways.
The Volkswagen/Honda enthusiast rivalry isn't anything new. VW guys blast Hondas for having no torque. The Honda guys blast VWs for not being reliable. From an independent enthusiast's perspective, though, both VW and Honda make cars that give their drivers a whole lotta satisfaction for a great price.
VW's GTI and Honda's Si have more in common than either of their drivers probably care to admit. Aside from the fact that each is available as a four door for the first time ever in 2007, they also both have 200-(ish)hp, 2.0-liter motors.
So they both make 100-hp per liter. The similarity ends there. Honda makes that number by revving the bejeezus out of the K20 four. The 8150-rpm fuel cutoff is the equivalent of the "liquefy" setting on your blender. 'Dubbers would point out here that, unfortunately, the Si's motor makes about as much torque as an Osterizer.
The Honda guys would say that VW plain cheated. It crashed Honda's big-PP party with a strap-on–a turbocharger–on its sixteen-valve four. Anyone can add a turbo, right? Where's the engineering?
So what's the real deal? As usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Sure, the Honda is somewhat torque-challenged. But it sounds 'effing incredible, is totally eager to please anywhere in its rev range, and did I mention the sound? The GTI is just as awesome–it has refreshingly little turbo lag, makes power from two grand on up, and sounds nearly as good.
At the magazine, we're spoiled completely rotten with really expensive, really fast cars. And yet we all still love to drive cars like the Si and the GTI because they're fun, rewarding drivers' cars. The Honda and VW guys (and girls) can fight about it for the next twenty years–and I'm sure they will–but both of their powerplants are world-class pieces of engineering.
I took an Si and a GTI (along with a Mazdaspeed 3 and a Saturn Sky Red Line) to the dyno and got some numbers. Same dyno, no BS, just the real numbers.; Click here for the full story.

When it comes to proper insurance coverage, there is one coverage that you really should not go without — "uninsured-motorist" coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage is perhaps the most important insurance you can have on your car-insurance policy.
As an attorney who handles personal-injury cases, I've really come to appreciate the importance of uninsured motorist coverage.
Uninsured-motorist (UM) coverage protects you in the event the party at fault did not have insurance at the time of the collision. It is perhaps the most critical piece of insurance, and most people ignore it. The ugly reality is that many people driving out there do not have any insurance at all.
Also, in these economic times, many have chosen to view insurance as a discretionary item, even though California law mandates basic liability coverage. Some folks simply forget to pay their premium, and their insurance lapses. Therefore, if you are injured in an accident, your insurance company will compensate you for your medical bills, pain and suffering if the other party had no insurance. Otherwise, you may have nowhere else to turn.
However, even if the other party has liability insurance, many times it is inadequate.
In that case, most U.M. Coverage policies also include something called underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. Did you notice that? It says "under-insured." This coverage will cover you if the other party's insurance was inadequate. That happens more often than you might think, given that the bare minimum people need to get is $15,000 in liability insurance.
There are so many people out there with the bare minimum, and that will not be enough if you have a serious injury. You may end up with nothing at all.
Most people I talk to don't really know if they have UM/UIM coverage on their policies. Some folks think their insurance company is trying to "upsell" them into something they don't need. I explain to them that in this day and age, UM/UIM coverage is very important. Also, your insurance company is more likely to be generous and fair with you in most cases, because they owe you a fiduciary duty. The other party's insurance company doesn't owe you the same duty. Heck, they may not even return your phone calls.
Take a look at your policy's "declaration page," and see if you have it or not. Better yet, call your insurance professional.
How much UM/UIM coverage should you get? Consult with your insurance professional, but in my opinion, get as much as you can without breaking the bank. You may also want to explore an umbrella policy as well. If you or someone you know is involved in a serious accident, please consult an experienced attorney to get an opinion and act quickly because everything you do post-accident can be critical.
Remember that no one is going to warn you that an collision is about to occur. You must be prepared. Unfortunately, with so many people driving without insurance (or with very little), you have to be extra prepared.
If you have an accident in the Santa Clarita area, please consult with my office or any experienced attorney for advice regarding your claim.

Artist: Kauan
Album: Aava Tuulen Maa
Genre: post-rock, progressive rock
Year: 2009
Label: Firebox
Web: buy, last.fm, myspace
Bitrate~Size: V2 (~200) | 70
3/12 NEW LINK: ifolder, if you don't know just google "how to download from ifolder".
New album from Russian masters of ambient post-rock atmosphere. After debut album "Lumikuuro" (2007, Solitude Productions), which was kind of micture of folk/black and doom metal and "Tietäjän Laulu" (2008, Solitude Productions) being more atmospheric metal the 3rd album "Aava Tuulen Maa" is far away from typical folk/doom. The band took a big step forward and created something beautiful what´s difficult to compare to any other band. Very atmospheric, melancholic, lots of nature ambiences, mixed with piano, violin and some heavy guitar riffs, and male clean vocals. Truly masterpiece for every fan of beautiful melancholic music.

None of the Washington, D.C. concertgoers quite understood the problem last month when Bruce Springsteen's voice faltered, then dropped out, while singing his ballad Independence Day. Still strumming, Bruce turned to his band and appeared to ask them a question that they answered with shrugs. The music stopped as the Boss faced the audience again. "I forgot the words," he announced. Since most fans know every syllable in the rocker's repertoire, Springsteen walked to the stage edge to consult with them. Still no help. Finally, someone from backstage brought a book containing the elusive line. "Stuff like this ain't supposed to happen to me," Bruce humbly apologized before continuing. "I'm supposed to be the Boss."
Jon-Erik Hexum, who got a lot of publicity last year as Joan Collins' favorite hunk in the ABC-TV movie The Making of a Male Model, now holds the starring role in an upcoming CBS spy series titled Cover Up. This new show may have changed Hex-urn's life already, if only in his attitude toward crime. While driving home on a Los Angeles freeway before Labor Day, the actor saw another car suddenly veer within inches of his own. At first, Hexum tried to make the offending vehicle pull over, then chased it into downtown L.A., where the other driver bumped into several parked cars, jumped a curb and stopped. Hexum ran over and grabbed the driver. "The guy was so drunk he didn't know what was going on," Jon-Erik reports. "I put him in my car, and he thought I was driving him home." The motorist obviously didn't know that he had encountered a TV law en-forcer: Hexum completed his citizen's arrest by delivering his catch to the cops.
Though she has seen no medical records to prove it, Pia Zadora just knows the baby she's carrying will be a boy, and she is determined that the kid will meet the world at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital. "I was born in New York and I want the baby to be born there," she says. "He'll have a more stable feeling than he'd have arriving in L.A." If Pia's husband, Meshulam Riklis, has his way, a hospital in Bethlehem might be more appropriate. Says Pia, with a laugh, about the efforts of Riklis, a Jew, to adapt to her Catholic background: "We decided to call the baby Christopher and my husband is going to try to get the Pope to baptize him. Rik says the baby will be the next Messiah."
Because his wife, Carla, is seven months pregnant, Lou Ferrigno needed a way to work out close to his Santa Monica, Calif. home. So he rented some rooms nearby, filled them with $50,000 worth of training equipment, took out a full-page ad in Variety and now personally trains flabby Californians to look like pseudohulks. Lou, currently talking with ABC about a new series, plans to continue as a trainer no matter what happens with his acting career. Since he works one-on-one with five to eight clients a week, there's a waiting list for his services. Cheapskates go for the bargain deal, $1,000 a month for twice-a-week training. Real fanatics pump up for the deluxe version: unlimited training at $2,000 a month. But—hey!—that includes free limo service to the gym.
Want to know how the big boys of journalism correspond? After the Washington Post ran a negative financial story about the Gannett Company, which owns USA Today, Post Editor Ben Bradlee received a fiery response from Al Neuharth, Gannett's chairman. In correspondence that appears in this month's Washingtonian magazine, Neuharth accused the Post of making so many errors that the correction column "threatens to become the most rapidly growing section of your newspaper." Bradlee wrote back, snidely referring to USA Today's business coverage as "financial advice to the lovelorn." He added, "I can't tell you how much I appreciated your cheap shot about our clarification column. That is class." Neuharth then sent a mildly apologetic letter, adding, "Ben, the air of arrogance you exhale really is polluting the Post's reputation." He signed it, "Love, but no kisses, Al Neuharth."

"What a fun way to learn," exclaimed Minden Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Pam Ertel.
She said she was thrilled to be able to bring her class to winter camp last week as part of Great Basin Outdoor School.
"I've discovered things about my students that will help me teach them the rest of the year," Ertel said.
Students spent three days learning winter safety and science and two nights in heated cabins on the shore of Lake Tahoe. Snowshoeing was a new experience for most of them, and some saw Lake Tahoe for the first time.
Dr. James Church, who invented the Mt. Rose snow sampler to measure snow's water content, was brought to life by Steve Hale, retired forester. Hale hiked with the children on snowshoes and explained the history of the instrument developed locally and used around the world.
Children learned winter adaptations, the reason for the seasons, and winter constellations. They built planets to learn their relative sizes and hexagonal snow crystals to understand their structure.
MES Principal Ken Stoll accompanied the group.
"It's a good opportunity for students to experience and learn about the winter environment and its effects throughout the year," he said. "The hands-on approach will have a lasting impact and produce a greater appreciation for the world around them."
Great Basin Outdoor School is a nonprofit which has been offering field studies on the shore of Lake Tahoe for more than 12 years. Astronomy, geology, forestry, hydrology, and wildlife ecology come alive for students with hands-on lessons.
The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Nevada Division of Forestry, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and others provide support to keep student fees below actual cost and to promote protection of Tahoe's water quality and reduction of fire danger in the Tahoe Basin.

A reader recently used the "Ask an Expert" feature of our High Speed Machining Zone to ask the following question:
When I use the recommended rpm for steel machining from a cutting tool chart, I frequently have to adjust speed and feed. The chart doesn't even give exact speed and feed rate values. Why?
Response from Tom Delio, co-founder of BlueSwarf
The cutting tool charts are usually based on two types of limits. They are (1) a stress limit for the cutting edge (strictly tied to the chip load) and (2) a thermal limit for the maximum surface or rotational velocity of the cutter (strictly tied to the rpm). The combination of rpm and chip load then dictates the feed rate.
Cutting tool companies either provide a broad range for these two primary values (chip load and surface velocity) or just a starting value. They do this because they test their tooling under generally favorable conditions (stiff cutters, short stickout, solid machines, quality materials) for the various materials. There are numerous grades of materials as well as heat treats—too many for the cutting tool companies to effectively cover. So they cannot give an exact spindle speed or chip load, just rough starting values.
A final variable is the vibration condition of the cut. This is dependent on many factors that are again outside the realm of the cutting tool companies, as they have no control over how you might apply their product beyond the general guidelines. For example, you might put the cutter in an extended long reach holder, or you might try to machine a very flexible structure. Also, you might machine using a high or low radial engagement. Trying to cover all of these factors would make a cutting tool chart unmanageable and unreadable.
This is where the skill and experience of a job shop pays off, and distinguishes one shop from another in terms of making profitable parts. My best advice is to do some systematic tests or look for added sources of information and develop a consistent approach to your machining—recording the acceptable operating parameters when you settle on them. Beyond that, use consistent tool practices, tool setups and tool types.

Since the last time Barack Obama had to face a Republican opponent in Pennsylvania, the political battleground of the nation's sixth-largest state has changed a bit.
Unemployment is up; jobs are down. The voting-age population may be slightly older, with more baby boomers in or near retirement. And Republicans have slightly narrowed the Democrats' voter-registration advantage.
Some of the changes are subtle, and they don't all favor one party or the other. Analysts said it was hard to predict how they could affect the Nov. 6 election.

Lincoln Property is off and running with Dallas-Fort Worth retail projects
The gang at Lincoln Property Co.'s retail division is burning the lights late these days.
That's because the Dallas-based developer has more than $250 million in urban redeveolopment projects in the works in North Texas.
Along with its revamping of the Turtle Creek Village shopping complex in Dallas' Oak Lawn neighborhood, Lincoln is a partner in the reconstruction of the 30-year-old Village on the Parkway retail center in Addison.
And the developer just landed halo Dallas' retail tenant Luke's Locker to be an anchor at its Arboretum Village shopping center to be constructed south of White Rock Lake in East Dallas.
Lincoln is remodeling part of the historic Lakewood shopping center in Dallas.
And in Fort Worth, the commercial property firm is buying the landmark Village at Camp Bowie shopping center on Camp Bowie Boulevard southwest of downtown Fort Worth.
And there's even more on the developer's plate.
Out in the 'burbs, Lincoln is signing up tenants for the first phase of the Gates of Prosper mixed use development on Preston Road in Collin County.
And Lincoln has the last undeveloped corner at busy Preston and State Highway 121 which is going to be the site of a mixed-use development.
Am I the only one who remembers when Lolaville was on that corner?

Came across this when looking for something other than Shake 'n' Bake to do with the Porkchops I had in my freezer. Effing Awesome! So easy to make, and SO delicious.
I'm gonna reuse the sauce recipe and try it on chicken!
Thanks so much for this simple and awesome recipe!
I had some pork chops I needed to use up and I am so glad I chose your recipe. The pork chops turned out perfectly tender after 5 minutes, but it's the sauce that makes this recipe -- what a fresh taste it had. Absolutely fantastic! We loved how it flavored the pork chops; in fact, it was so good that we drizzled some over the grilled onions we had also made. This sauce would be great on chicken too -- thanks for posting this recipe. I will be using it many times more.

While I was at an internship over the summer, a client recommended that I start seeking contract work while I finish up my MFA. (as opposed to my previous plan of taking a bunch of internships to learn different skills.. I'm told more than one internship can make it look like you didn't learn anything or your skills aren't up to par for a real position)
I am in the process of negotiating a pay rate for a independent
contractor position with a startup as an interaction designer. I am
wondering what are the current pay rates for independent contractors
for startups in the Bay Area? I have talked to some colleagues at
larger technology companies, but I was wondering if I would use the
industry standard and agree to some type of deferred payment plan for
a portion of my pay?

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24 �Teacher,� they said, �Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 Finally, the woman died.
28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?�
29 Jesus replied, �You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 But about the resurrection of the dead�have you not read what God said to you,
32 �I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob�[a] ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.�
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

Island of the Blue dolphins is the story of Karana, a young native American Indian girl who was left on the Island of Blue dolphins from 1835 to 1853. the Island of Blue dolphins or San Nicholas is an island out in the middle of the Pacific ocean off the coast of California. In 1835, the people of Karana's village, Galas-at, all boarded boats headed for California. Just as they started to set sail, Karana realized that her little brother, Ramo, had been left on the island. so she jumped overboard to save him. As a result, they were both left on the island. Unfortunately, Ramo was killed by wild dogs that inhabited the island two days later. After getting over Ramo's death, Karana built her self a shelter and taught her self to hunt. the rest of the book goes on to tell about her life alone on the island and her adventures
I don't know of anything similar to this story.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys subtle adventures.

The Cedars-Sinai Epilepsy Program understands that epilepsy is a challenging condition. This section is designed to help patients and families better understand epilepsy, so they can make more informed decisions and participate in their recovery.
- Epilepsy Clinical Trials
- Different Diagnostic Tests
- Epilepsy Support Groups (in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation of Los Angeles)
- How to help a person having a seizure
- Precautions for seizure patients
How to Help a Person Having a Seizure
If someone is having a seizure, try to help the person lay down, instead of allowing them to fall. Once on the floor, turn the person onto either side, to help keep the airway clear.
Then put something flat and soft, such as a folded jacket or blanket under the person's head. Loosen ties, collars or anything around the neck to make breathing easier.
DO NOT place anything in his/her mouth. A person having a seizure CANNOT and will not swallow his/her tongue.
If a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.
Precautions for Seizure Patients
People who have had seizures should avoid:
- Driving
- Climbing to high places
- Operating heavy machinery
- Taking baths
- Using the front burners on stoves
Keep an up-to-date list of medications, as well as any dietary supplements.
DO NOT change medication dosage without consulting a physician and DO NOT stop taking anti-epileptic medication abruptly.
For additional information, a second opinion, to make an appointment or refer a patient, please call 310-310-423-6472 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
