Detectives are investigating after two men were wounded Wednesday morning in a shooting at an Aurora Motel.
Several witnesses called 911 around 2:30 AM and reported a hearing gunfire near the Georgian Motel in the 8800 block of Aurora Avenue North.
Officers arrived, learned a vehicle had sped away from the scene, and found shell casings outside the motel. They were unable to find any victims.
About 10 minutes later, police received another call from the two victims of the shooting, who directed officers to a parking lot at 4th Avenue and Virginia Street.
There, officers found the victims with a green Buick, which had clearly been struck several times by gunfire.
Police found man sitting in the passenger seat of the Buick suffering from gunshot wounds to his arm and neck. Officers provided the man with medical assistance until Seattle Fire Department medics arrived and transported him to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. A second victim in the incident also sustained minor grazing gunshot wounds, and did not require transport to the hospital.
Gang Unit detectives are investigating the shooting.

Greenwood business owners, residents, ask SPD about recent surge in burglaries
February 5th, 2016 by Doree
About 40 Greenwood business owners and residents filled the back of Couth Buzzard Books Thursday night to hear Seattle Police representatives talk about the recent surge in burglaries. Couth Buzzard owner Theo Dzielak organized the meeting after his store was broken into for the second time in two months.
"Besides the expense, it's emotional," he said. "Some of us here tonight are business owners, some of us are residents, so we can share stories and ask questions."
Seattle Police Crime Prevention Coordinator Terrie Johnston acknowledged the spike in Greenwood burglaries this year and especially in December, which had 10 of the year's 59 non-residential burglaries. Johnston used to be the Crime Prevention Coordinator for the North Precinct, but was transferred downtown. The North Precinct finally has a new CPC, Mary Amberg, who was just hired and is still in training. (She attended the meeting but didn't speak.)
In trying to describe the numerous burglaries and reasons for them, Johnston said there isn't any one root cause, but many, including drugs and construction in the area. She said there's enough variety in the modus operandi of the burglars – time of day, items taken, how brazen — that police don't believe it's just one or two people. And very little evidence has been left behind.
"There's a lot of construction going on. It's not unusual for crime to go up when there's a lot of construction in the neighborhood," she said, explaining that burglars may have easy access to tools left out and can use them to pry open a door, window or skylight; or ladders or scaffolding to climb onto a roof; or even chunks of concrete that can be thrown through a window, which is what happened at Couth Buzzard in November. She also said construction workers may accidentally leave a door unlocked at the end of the day, giving thieves an easy way in. And sometimes the mere presence of a lot of construction workers around a certain building means neighbors don't pay as much attention to other people they don't recognize at different hours.
Rachael Coyle, owner of Coyle's Bakeshop just a few doors south of Couth Buzzard, said someone used a pickaxe to break through her back door in December. Now she's boarded up the back door to be unusable and doesn't anticipate ever opening it back up.
Johnston said one of the problems is that many of the mom-and-pop businesses in the neighborhood don't have good enough locks or lighting or alarm systems. She called many businesses' locks "vintage" and said one business that was hit even kept money in a shoe box. (Although keeping cash in a safe is not a sure deterrent, as Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe owner Chris Maykut discovered when surveillance video from a neighboring business showed thieves spending two hours struggling to get his 300-pound safe out of the business and into a car.) She also said many neighborhood businesses hit by thieves either didn't have alarms or cameras or they weren't working at the time of the burglaries.
Any business or resident can call SPD for a safety check of their building or home. "We'd rather work with you on the front end to prevent it than come in on the back end after," she said.
One man said the alley behind his home near 85th and Greenwood is like an open-air drug market. "I walk in on it. There's a line of guys selling heroin," he said. "There's no shame there." Johnston said to call 911 report narcotic activity, even if it will be over by the time an officer arrives, because they could prevent future drug deals. "We need evidence and we need good witnesses and 911 calls when it's happening," she said. And take a hard look at the alley and see why it's attractive to criminals – could lighting be installed or cameras or something done to open up the view to passersby.
Johnston said SPD is severely understaffed, although they are in the process of hiring 100 new officers. She said Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole was shocked when she first arrived from Boston because the cities are a similar size but Seattle had 1,000 fewer officers than Boston.
One man said his car has been prowled several times and packages stolen off his porch, but every time he calls the police "I've been met with apathy. It doesn't seem like the city is doing anything, it doesn't seem like the city is responding to this problem."
Johnston said, "If you get bad service, there's so many ways to follow up on a bad call taker, on officers, we have so many ways you can bring that to somebody's attention and get that called out. We don't want an apathetic call taker."
Johnston said residents and businesses need to let SPD know exactly what the neighborhood needs, whether that's increased patrols at certain hours, bike patrols, foot patrols, etc. She said Capt. Sean O'Donnell of the North Precinct is responsible for that kind of staffing. She also said she'd rather people call 911 than the non-emergency line or using online reports if there is any question that a crime is currently being committed or was recently committed.
As far as what businesses can do to try to prevent break-ins:
- Heavy-duty locks, preferably double cylinder deadbolts.
- Better door hardware, especially very long screws.
- Stronger windows.
- Better lighting, especially in dark alleys.
- Have your address prominently displayed on the alley side as well as the front, which makes it easier for police to get to the right building.
- Have an audible alarm; thieves are more likely to run if a loud alarm goes off.
- Clear out any debris in alley that could be used to break a window or door, or used as a ladder to the roof, such as pallets.
- Re-key all doors after an employee leaves your employ, even on good terms.
- Don't leave any business keys out where someone can grab them easily, and don't label them so thieves know exactly which door they go to.
- Keep a minimum amount of cash on hand; keep the cash register open with no cash in it at night, and be sure to prominently place a sign that says limited cash kept on premises.
- Don't have too many signs and other clutter in your windows; keep a clean line of sight for passersby to see in and notice something amiss.
- Install a chime or bell on your doors to alert you when someone comes in.
- Keep the number for 911 by the phone, especially if you have to dial 9 to get an outside line. "You'd be surprised how many people forget the number for 911 when there's an emergency," Johnston said.
- Get to know neighboring businesses and their hours of operation so you'll notice someone who isn't supposed to be there.
"We still believe in block watch. Watchful neighbors are still your best protection," Johnston said. "I want Greenwood to be tight and educated and empowered."

SPD: Phinney resident injures burglar by hitting him in the head with fists and garden shears
February 4th, 2016 by Doree
From the SPD Blotter:
A 30-year-old burglar was injured Sunday after a Phinney Ridge man caught him breaking into his home and proceeded to beat him about the head with his fists and a pair of garden shears.
The resident called 911 around 3:30 PM after he saw the burglar pull up on his street in the 6200 block of 4th Ave NW in a Toyota, force his way into the victim's garage, and then make a beeline for his home.
As the victim was on the phone with 911 dispatchers he heard the suspect knocking on his front door, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
The resident stayed on the phone with dispatchers as he went to his front door and walked outside to look for the suspect. When he didn't find him, he turned back around, walked into his home, and found the suspect in his kitchen, holding a pair of garden shears.
The victim leapt at the suspect, snatched the shears from his hands, and began beating the burglar over the head with the tool and his fists as he chased him out the back door of the home.
As the homeowner rushed after the burglar, the suspect jumped on the victim's girlfriend's bike, which he had removed from the garage.
The suspect ignored the victim's orders to get off the bike, and instead rode away down the street.
Officers caught up to the suspect four blocks away and took him into custody.
The victim told police he believed he had injured his hand during the incident–presumably from striking the suspect in the head–but did not require treatment at the scene.
The suspect complained of head injuries and was treated at the scene by medics before officers booked him into the King County Jail for investigation of burglary.

SPD seeking suspect in sandwich store and coffee stand robberies
May 7th, 2015 by Doree
Seattle Police are searching for leads on an armed robber who has been targeting coffee stands and sandwich shops in several North Seattle neighborhoods, including the Subway at 10406 Greenwood Ave. N. on April 20.
From the SPD Blotter:
Detectives are looking for leads that could help identify an armed robber, who's been targeting restaurants and coffee shops in Queen Anne, Wedgwood, Ravenna, Maple Leaf, and Greenwood over the last three months.
The masked suspect has walked into seven different businesses—sometimes just as staff are closing up shop—and demanded money from employees while holding them at gunpoint.
Detectives believe the suspect is a white male, 18-25 years old, between 5'8 and 6'0.
Witnesses have reported seeing the man arrive at or flee from the scene of several robberies in a noticeably dirty dark green minivan. equipped with a rooftop luggage rack.
If you recognize the suspect or have any information about the case, please contact detectives at (206) 684-5535.

SPD arrest Greenwood-Broadview woman on suspicion of heroin/meth dealing
April 20th, 2015 by Doree
Last week, Seattle Police arrested a Greenwood-Broadview woman on suspicion of dealing heroin and meth after numerous neighbors complained of possible criminal activity.
From the SPD Blotter:
Neighbors' concerns that a Greenwood apartment had become a hub for crime led Seattle police to arrest a suspected heroin and meth dealer and seize a police-grade ballistic vest Wednesday night.
SPD Narcotics detectives began investigating the 49-year-old woman earlier this year after receiving complaints about people constantly coming and going from her apartment in the 11700 block of Greenwood Ave North. Neighbors told police they believed the woman was involved in drug dealing and trafficking stolen property, and detectives soon learned she has also been the cause of numerous 911 calls and police responses in the Greenwood area.
Detectives were able to buy methamphetamine and heroin from the woman on separate occasions and, on April 15th, obtained a warrant to search her home for other signs of drug dealing.
North Precinct officers served a warrant at the home around 10:30 PM and arrested the 49-year-old woman. Officers found a bulletproof vest and 4.6 grams of heroin inside the residence, along with three digital scales, a crack pipe, and baggies. Officers also found it suspicious that the woman was keeping several disassembled bicycles in the balcony of her small, cluttered apartment, and informed the woman they would be checking the bike's serial numbers to see if they were stolen.
Officers booked the woman into the King County Jail for delivery of narcotics and possession with intent to deliver.

SPD: Pot shop burglar caught after neighborhood chase
April 2nd, 2015 by Doree
Seattle Police say they caught a man trying to burglarize a Greenwood marijuana shop just after midnight Wednesday.
From the SPD Blotter:
After failing to break in to a Crown Hill marijuana shop this morning, a 19-year-old burglar ditched his shirt and led police on a lengthy chase through the neighborhood.
A group of neighbors called police around 12:30 AM after they heard a repetitive hammering sound coming from the pot shop at NW 85th Street and 3rd Avenue NW.
The hammering sound turned out to be a masked man, who was trying to pry out the window of the store with a crowbar. When he noticed neighbors watching him, he took off running.
Police arrived and began searching for the man, and Officer Enoch Lee quickly spotted the suspect—now unmasked—standing near a van on 87th and 17th NW. When the suspect saw Officer Lee, he took off running into the neighborhood.
Over the next 90 minutes, the man hopped fences and hid in yards as police—joined by K9s Ziva and Jaeger, and their handlers Officers Mark Wong and Rory Smith—pursued him.
Finally, the suspect—now shirtless—emerged near NW 83rd Street and 12th Avenue NW, where he was arrested by Officer Brandon Craig.
Police booked the 19-year-old man into the King County Jail for investigation of burglary, and seized his van, which had tow hitch, and rope attached, which he may have used to rip down the pot shop's back gate.

Seasonal safety tips from SPD
December 10th, 2013 by Doree
Seattle Police Crime Prevention Coordinator Terrie Johnston passed along a bunch of safety tips to keep in mind this time of year, from protecting your property and packages to keeping yourself self.
Travel light: take only what you need when you are out. Leave the heavy purse behind and clean out your wallet of unneeded credit cards, medical cards, etc.
Dress the part: It's darker now without our sunny Seattle skies, so make sure you can be seen by motorists. Are your shoes comfortable enough to allow you to move, kick, run if you had to? Long billowing scarves, umbrellas, certain kinds of hats can reduce the ability to see around you, or might give a mugger something by which to grab you. Leave the bling behind or under layers of clothing if you'll be out walking around much.
Cell phones: "apple picking" is what some are calling the grabbing of iphones and other electronic devices. You may be asked by a stranger for the time, or if they can borrow your phone. Then boom, in a blink of an eye, they're off and away with your device. While cell phones are a helpful safety device, street robbers love them, so don't flash them around. Be mindful when using them in public places.
"What's your location?" means being able to relay your location such as house number, business or street names, hundred block, intersections, landmarks, or mile markers. Make it a habit to know your location! This is key when making calls to 9-1-1. Seconds matter in emergencies. Help us get to you or the incident quicker. Stay on the line with the call taker until instructed to hang up.
If you will be out of town, please let your trusted neighbors know. Encourage them to keep an extra watch out for your home and let them know you want them to call 9-1-1 if something is suspicious. Enlist their help with picking up newspapers, checking for oversized mail, packages, and those pesky flyers left on doorknobs. On our block, we pick up each others' parcels that have been left on a porch for safekeeping. You want to make your home look occupied (lights and radio on timers; have someone park in your driveway, bring in your garbage can/recycling bins, etc.) Getting a house sitter can be helpful. Watchful neighbors truly are your best alarm!
Car prowls: Thieves target all makes and models of vehicles looking for GPS devices, cellular phones, cameras, purses, garbage remotes, jackets. I know some parents who keep their kids' holiday gifts in the trunk. Not good! Also, I've read a few police reports where people pack up their car the night before heading out on a trip, only to find the car was prowled over night. Leave your car empty; disable internal trunk releases and be consistent with any theft-deterrent device like the "club" or audible alarm.
Warming up the car: Vehicles left running and unattended while the heater and defroster kick in may be just the opportunity the auto thief needed.

Ok, I have tried to keep this quiet but the amount of questions on when I will update has forced my hand.
About two weeks ago my house was robbed, among the items taken was my laptop, hence all updates are now stalled. I apologize that this causes distress to some of my fans but right now all my effort and money is being diverted to beefing up security in my home and helping replace some of the items stolen, leaving little to no time to work on my fanfics. For those of you interested my family is safe as this tragedy occurred while we were all at work or school so no one was hurt.
Please bear with me as I try to figure something out regarding my stories and don't give up on me yet, I have taken beatings before yet life has yet to find a way to put me down and this will be no different.
I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive this delay and are patient with me in the wake of these circumstances.
Peace out!

Bandbox entering stud in Maryland for 2015
Bandbox, a Grade 3-winning son of leading sire Tapit, will enter stud in 2015 at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, Md.
The 6-year-old, who is currently available for inspection at the farm, will stand for an advertised fee of $2,500.
Bandbox retires with five wins from 15 career starts and earnings of $390,345. Appropriately, many of his top performances came in the Mid-Atlantic region, as he won this year's Grade 3 General George Handicap at Laurel, and finished second in the Grade 3 Maryland Sprint Handicap at Pimlico in 2012. Overall, he won or placed in seven stakes events.
Bandbox, bred in New York, is out of the unraced Grand Slam mare Empty the Bases, dam of three winners from as many starters.

There are a few players on both rosters who were involved in that 2002 series. Barry Zito was the winning pitcher in Game Three of that series. Eric Chavez hit .381 with a homer and five RBI while playing in all five games. Mark Ellis hit .368 in five games during that series, and hit a memorable three-run homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning against Twins closer Eddie Guardado that brought the A's within one-run in that decisive game. A's fourth outfielder Bobby Kielty was a bench player for the Twins during that series, but he failed to collect a hit in four at-bats.
For the Twins, Michael Cuddyer was a surprise contributor in that series, collecting five hits in 13 at-bats. Centerfielder Torii Hunter batted an even .300 and scored four runs. Starter Brad Radke was the ace of the staff, going 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA. The invincible Johan Santana was a young reliever back then, and the A's touched him up for two runs in three innings during the series.
Despite those holdovers, there aren't very many similarities between that series and this one. The A's were the prohibitive favorites in that series and they boasted the most post-season experience, having appeared in the playoffs in the two previous seasons. The Twins hadn't been in the playoffs since 1991 and were seemingly just happy to be there. The A's were coming off of a 20-game regular season winning streak and boasted the most dynamic starting rotation in baseball, with the Big Three leading the way. The A's also had the eventual Cy Young winner (Zito) and AL MVP (Miguel Tejada) on their squad.
This season, it is the Twins who are coming into the series with a lot of playoff experience, having been in the post-season in 2003 and 2004 (the A's were in the playoffs in 2003, but they don't have many players left from that roster). It is also the Twins who have the possible Cy Young (Santana) and AL MVP (Justin Morneau or Joe Mauer, take your pick) on their roster. The Twins also have homefield advantage, this time around.
So is all lost for the A's in this series? Not necessarily. During the season series, the A's and Twins met 10 times, with the Twins taking six of 10. Both teams were best at home, with the Twins going 5-1 and the A's going 3-1 at their respective home parks. The A's lost three early season games at the Metrodome in strange fashion. In all three games, they jumped out to early leads, only to see their stalwart pitching staff fail to hold the leads. Mid-season, the A's took three of four at the Coliseum, with Oakland losing a game to Santana 2-1 and controlling the other three. In the final match-up of the season, the Twins took the first two games at the Metrodome and dropped the third game, 1-0, when Dan Haren stifled the Twins potent line-up and the A's used a controversial stolen base to lead to the game's only run of the game.
The A's and Twins are very similar teams, in many ways. Both squads are built around pitching and defense, especially up the middle. The Twins rotation took a hit late in the season when uber-rookie Francisco Liriano went down with an elbow injury. However, with Santana at the helm, the Twins still finished second in the league ERA (just ahead of the A's, who were fourth). Brad Radke, broken shoulder and all, will try to make at least one start this series and rookies Boof Bonser and Matt Garza could play big roles in the pitching staff, along with veteran Carlos Silva, who is having a down season.
Minnesota has a strong bullpen, anchored by closer Joe Nathan and bolstered by solid set-up men Juan Rincon and Dennys Reyes. The Twins are very strong defensively, especially up the middle with Gold Gloves in center (Hunter) and second base (Luis Castillo). Mauer is also very solid behind the plate.
The A's also have a strong pitching staff, which was weakened for much of the season by injuries, especially to team ace Rich Harden. Harden is expected to be back for the playoffs, but he won't be the Game One and Five starter like he would have been if he had been healthy all season. Instead, that honor will go to Zito, who will likely be making his last appearances for the green and gold this post-season. Zito had a good, but inconsistent season in 2006, going 16-10. Zito has been traditionally strong in the playoffs and he won his only post-season start at the Metrodome.
Esteban Loaiza, Dan Haren and Harden should round out the rotation. All three have had moments of brilliance and periods of struggle this season. Loaiza was rocked in his one start against the Twins early this season, although he has been a different pitcher during the second half of the season. Haren has had the most exposure to the Twins this season, making three starts and going 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA. Harden's only appearance against the Twins this season came in his first outing off of the disabled list in June. He ended up hurting his elbow in that start and missing the next two and a half months.
Oakland's bullpen has been a strength all season, although it is limping a bit into the playoffs. Closer Huston Street has blown his last three save opportunities and has been inconsistent since coming off of the disabled list in early September. Set-up man Justin Duchscherer has been light's-out, but he balky back tightened up this weekend and he hasn't worked in three days. He is expected to be available in Game One. Joe Kennedy and Kiko Calero will be relied on for important innings and fifth starter Joe Blanton will move into the bullpen to pitch long relief.
On defense, the A's have been at or near the top of all fielding categories for much of the season. Their outfield covers a lot of ground and second baseman Mark Ellis set a record for fielding percentage this season, while Chavez had one of his best defensive seasons of his career. The A's infield will lose some range with Marco Scutaro at short instead of Bobby Crosby, although Scutaro is a consistent fielder, if not spectacular.
Where the A's and Twins differ the most is on offense. Minnesota hit .287 this season, best in the AL , while the A's hit a meager .259. However, those numbers are somewhat misleading, as the A's were a much better offensive team in the second half of the season than they were in the first half. The A's out-homered the Twins, 174-142, and the Twins swiped 43 more bases than did the A's.
Both teams play extremely well in their home ballparks and both were second-half teams, with Minnesota finishing with the best second-half record and the A's, the second-best second-half record.
Three Keys
For Minnesota:
1) Win Santana's starts. The Twins rotation is a little suspect after Santana with Liriano on the shelf. If the Twins lose a Santana start (especially in Game One), it could effect the team's confidence for the rest of the series.
2) The M&M boys must hit. Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau made the Twins click all season and another "M", Michael Cuddyer, has been tough on the A's all season. If those three are hitting well, it will be tough for the A's to keep Minnesota off the board.
3) Run Wild. Although Jason Kendall has improved his throwing this season, the A's are still vulnerable to being run on by very quick teams. The Twins can create a lot of scoring opportunities if they take-off a lot this series.
For Oakland:
1) Four is "Big"-ger than Three: This will be the A's first post-season without the Big Three in their rotation. The A's will need Zito to bring his post-season A-game and for Loaiza, Haren and Harden to pound the strikezone like former Big Three members Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson used to.
2) Make Twins pitch to Frank. The Twins aren't likely to let Frank Thomas beat them, so other members of the A's batting order are going to have to set-up. If Milton Bradley can get on in the three-hole and Eric Chavez can swing a hot bat in the five-hole, the Twins will be forced to give Frank something to hit.
3) Bullpen must be sharp. The A's have relied on an outstanding bullpen all season, but their relievers have been showing signs of strain over the last few weeks. Playoff series often come down to who has the best bullpen, and the A's lost the 2002 and 2003 Divisional Series when their strong bullpens faltered.

A rich house in the suburbs, family, a successful career and the American Dream shines in golden, fancy the wrapping. The Sam Mendes but gets the camera, scratches valuable latent happiness coating to reveal the rotten contents of giving off the stench of fulfillment, and the incompleteness of misery, loneliness. The voice of Lester Burnham leads us from beyond the last months of a life enslaved. His first shot, his first words are introduced into an almost sapounoperiki rather ironic, surely tragic story: "Look at me, masturbate in the bathroom ... This is the highlight of the day, from now on everything is a slippery slope." The story of Alan Ball endoscopes in the microcosm of a handful of people with sometimes comic, sometimes dramatic mood, somewhere on the edge trying to discern a drop of beauty in the simplest things. As refined counterpart of Happiness Todd Solondz, its own universe is possessed of perverse obsessions but not by the hardness of the images, but focuses on a desperate attempt to ascent to the surface for a breath of fresh air that inevitably leads to drowning, the whispering apt tag line: The beauty often dazzles ... look better.

How To Be A Stripper - At Home!
4. Consider a "stage name" for fun. This is your show, you're calling the shots! Add words like "The Amazing," or "Goddess of Love" to your first or last name. Or make one up entirely. Remember, this is about having sexy fun!
5. Work on your patter. A stripper is here is to entertain and make her male audience feel like the only smart, sexy guy in the room. Ask him how his day was, then tell him it's about to get much, much better!
6. Get dolled up. In addition to your costume, sexy moves and hot talk, any amount of make-up, perfume or just simple lipstick will add even more star quality to your performance! PS: Don't forget your bikini line, if you think that will add some sizzle!
7. Take your time. He's going to want to savor every second, so give him a three course meal - of you!
8. Make eye contact. Let any body contact linger as well. You're in charge!
9. Consider adding a lap dance - and more! To go "all XXX" on him, try some suggestive moves with a vibrator or dong.
10. Throw a robe on when your routine is done. This helps define the "show." Now you're both "backstage," relaxed and soaking in the wild experience you've both shared. Who knows what'll happen next!

Native American Prayers
Great Spirit Prayer
and whose breath gives life to all the world.
Hear me! I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes
ever hold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
Help me remain calm and strong in the
face of all that comes towards me.
Help me find compassion without
empathy overwhelming me.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy: myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.
- Translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887
Prayer for Life
Our old women gods, we ask you!
Then give us long life together,
May we live until our frosted hair is white;
May we live till then.
This life that now we know!
- Tewa (North American Indian) Traditional Prayer
Only For a Short While
have loaned us to each other,
because we take form in your act of drawing us,
and we take life in your painting us,
and we breathe in your singing us.
But only for so short a while
have you loaned us to each other.
Because even a drawing cut in obsidian fades,
and the green feathers, the crown feathers,
of the Quetzal bird lose their color,
and even the sounds of the waterfall
die out in the dry season.
So, we too, because only for a short while
have you loaned us to each other.
- Aztec Indian Prayer
The Garden is Rich
The garden is rich with diversity
With plants of a hundred families
In the space between the trees
With all the colours and fragrances.
Basil, mint and lavender,
Great Mystery keep my remembrance pure,
Raspberry, Apple, Rose,
Great Mystery fill my heart with love,
Dill, anise, tansy,
Holy winds blow in me.
Rhododendron, zinnia,
May my prayer be beautiful
May my remembrance O Great Mystery
be as incense to thee
In the sacred grove of eternity
As I smell and remember
The ancient forests of earth.
- Chinook Psalter

Earth Prayer
Hey! Learn to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.
With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed
Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!
Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.

Gavin Is Tested But Turns Back Challenge Of Junior Witter
By Jake Donovan
Frankie Gavin proved to be too much for aging former 140 lb. titlist Junior Witter. The unbeaten welterweight prospect outclassed his 38-year old foe over 12 rounds Thursday evening at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, UK.
Scores were 119-109, 117-110 and 117-112 in their bout, which headlined a special weeknight broadcast on Boxnation.
Witter jumped out to an early lead, but was by no means overwhelming at any point in the fight. Gavin overcame a slow start to quickly resume control, at which point the 27-year old never looked back.
Action wasn't exactly free-flowing, in large part due to the non-effort put forth by Witter as the night went on. Gavin did enough to win rounds, and perhaps enough to prove he is ready for his career to advance to the next level.
There were no knockdowns in the fight and several rounds from which there wasn't much to choose. Witter was docked a point in round 10 for excessive holding, and at one point cursed out by his own corner for offering a lethargic effort.
Gavin advances to 14-0 (10KO) with the win, by far the biggest of his young career. With the win comes a domestic title, which Witter acquired in a modest upset win over Colin Lynes earlier this year.
The magic ran out on this particular evening for Witter, who falls to 41-6-2 (22KO).
Witter at one point called it a career in 2009, following a humiliating stoppage loss at the hands of Devon Alexander. The loss marked the end of his days as a legitimate contender, though he managed to keep relatively active following his ring return in 2011.
Four full fights were complemented by a run in the June '11 edition of Prizefighter, in which he won three three-round fights but fell short in the finals. The finals loss was his only defeat at York Hall until coming up way short against Gavin.
A return to retirement seems like a sensible option for Witter, though it's doubtful that he will go away quietly.
Meanwhile, Gavin has a promising future to look forward to in 2013 and beyond after getting past a slew of personal issues in recent past. No specific fights have been mentioned for next year, though Gavin has expressed an interest in fighting for the European welterweight title with an impressive enough performance against Witter.
Light heavyweight Miles Shinkwin (3-0, 0KO) won a four round decision over Jody Meikle (5-28). The sole score were 40-36.
Welterweight prospect Gary Corcoran (5-0, 2KOs) stopped Ross Payne (3-6) in the first round.
Middleweight John Dignum (2-1, 0KO) won a four round unanimous decision over Joe Walsh, with a sole score of 40-36.
Super flyweight Charlie Hoy (4-0, 0KO) won a six round decision over Francis Croes (1-16). The sole score was 60-52 and Croes was down in the fourth.
Craig Evans (8-0, 3KOs) won a six round decision over Ideh Ockuko (4-8). The sole score was 60-54. Ockuko was down in the first and Evans suffered a cut above his left eye in the fourth from a clash of heads.

Town considers solar powerMay 07,2013Town considers solar power
DUMMERSTON Officials in Dummerston say theyre considering working with a private company to install solar power panels to produce electricity, but they want to make sure theres support in the community.
Last week the Select Board authorized the Dummerston Energy Committee to research the idea of building a solar array that would eventually be owned by the town.
Energy Committee Chairman Alex Wilson said theres a lot of interest from private investors that would put the cash up front to build a photovoltaic system and then taking advantage of governmental tax credits associated with solar power.
A solar array might produce enough power to offset the electricity used by Dummerston School, the towns biggest energy consumer.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

I was looking for Relora in capsule form rather than tablet form to avoid the taste, but these capsules themselves seem to have a strong flavor. They aren't bad, but I'm looking for a different brand without the slightly nasty taste.
Relora is only one of many other supplements...

.... for appetite and stress. I have not found anything that really works for me so far; although i keep a very healthy diet i gain weight and feel very frustrated. Relora seemed a good choice, specially because it is 100% natural and comes in veggy caps. But i do not feel any success. I wished companies give a better description of each of the supplements dealing with stress and appetite control. As i pointed out, it is one of many and maybe it is not the right one for me.

Boy Scout Troop 772 cleans up 'their' Indian River Lagoon spoil island off Fort Pierce
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Two days after being in Tallahassee at the Capitol during the legislative session, some members of Boy Scout Troop 772 walked into a vastly different place: a remote forested island in the Indian River Lagoon.
This time, instead of shaking hands with political leaders, they grabbed fallen limbs as adults used chain saws.
They're helping establish a public foothold on a state-managed island set aside for education and conservation — and now, for them.
"It is an honor to come out here," said Scout Lewis Joseph, 13, of Fort Pierce.
Through a recent agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the 4-month-old Scout troop from Fort Pierce will be cleaning the 7.2-acre island of its trash and unwanted plants — such as Australian pines — and using it for outings.
The troop's executive scoutmaster, Scott Van Duzer, adopted the island for Troop 772 through his charitable foundation, the Van Duzer Foundation.
The island is just four miles from the boys' homes, but, like the Tallahassee trip, leagues away from their usual daily lives.
"Not many from my neighborhood come out" of their urban life, said Scout Thernell Mills, 14. Much less, kayak or help clear paths in the woods.
Eventually, the boys plan to spend nights together around a campfire on the island surrounded by quiet instead of the possibility of gunfire that periodically occurs in some of the neighborhoods where they live.
The work on the retreat started Saturday morning when five of the troop's regular 20 members boated to the island, north of Fort Pierce. There, they joined a contingent of workers from the state Department of Environmental Protection's Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves program that oversees the island, which has a variety of plants.
During the morning, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, visited the island to see the work.
The workers cut down some unwanted trees and installed two picnic tables and set up a fire pit, complete with a grill, provided by the Department of Environmental Protection. They even used a mechanical log splitter to prepare firewood.
While the turnout of Scouts was less than he expected, preserves manager Brian Sharpe said those who helped "blew me away. They worked three times harder to make up for it."
A number of the Scouts in Troop 772 are in classes on Saturday morning to keep up with academic work at Dan McCarty Middle School.
The troop, established in December to help students with behavioral problems, strives to help steer youths away from gangs and ongoing gun violence in or near north Fort Pierce's Lincoln Park neighborhood, said scoutmaster William Hines.
Getting out in the wilds excited Lewis. He talked about learning "how to become something more in life" and to go beyond "just sitting home playing video games and waiting on mom to cook for us.
"We have to learn responsibility," he said.
Saturday's half-day work day is the first of two outings into the lagoon the troop will take during April, troop leaders said. Later this month they are scheduled for a field day to their island or to an adjoining one to learn about the environment and kayaking.
And during the summer, those who pass swimming tests will have sailing lessons.
Having the Scouts out there will be "another set of eyes, ears and hands to watch over and care for these islands" in the shallow 156-mile-long lagoon that is bordered by urban areas, said Marc Virgilio, a Department of Environmental Protection environmental specialist.
Where: In the Indian River Lagoon, north of the Fort Pierce Inlet and south of the Harbour Branch Oceanographic Institution
For: Education and conservation
Size: 7.2 acres
Uniqueness: One of the few man-made spoil islands that has a wide array of plants, especially natives. The island was created during the construction of the Intracoastal Waterway between 1958 and 1961.
Managed by: Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves program, Department of Environmental Protection

Improving Your Cyber Hygiene
With the escalating arms race between good guys and bad guys bombarding you with constant headlines about new computer insecurities, you may be tempted to succumb to "Data Hack Fatigue." While we all rely extensively on computer security software and experts to protect us and our valuable data in an always-connected world, we cannot outsource our own personal awareness or responsibility to act wisely. Stewart Bruner, from AOC's IT Division and host of previous cybersecurity broadcasts, will be joined by Mike Lettman, Chief Information Security Officer for the State of Arizona, to inform you about basic cyber hygiene, provide some interesting lessons learned from recent mistakes of others. Your own awareness is the most valuable tool in preventing cybercrime – knowledge translates to deterrence.

Open to Everyone: Access to Justice in Arizona's Courts Through Inclusion
Though Arizona's courts and the justice that emerges from them belong to all of us, do we, in our day-to-day work lives, behave in a manner that reflects this imperative? Join Judge Louis Frank Dominguez, Presiding Judge of the Surprise City Court and Gabe Goltz from AOC's Education Services Division as they explore aspects of diversity and bias. This session will both engage the best instincts in Arizona's judicial branch employees and challenge those often-hidden forces that undermine those instincts. Be prepared to take a hard look at yourself and others, and emerge ready to best serve everyone who walks through the courthouse door or works with you.
(Meets 2015 Ethics Core Requirement)
Released September 2015
This year's conference theme—"Accessing Justice Through Education"—mirrors the Arizona judicial branch's new Strategic Agenda—"Advancing Justice Together: Courts and Communities" —and reinforces that education is a central part of advancing justice.
Every member of the judicial branch is responsible for safeguarding the trust that the public grants us and, towards that end, JSEC helps by providing high-quality education for court staff statewide. This conference uses a blended-learning model, broadcasting plenary sessions statewide in the morning and afternoon and encouraging Training Coordinators around the state to conduct in-person breakout sessions locally throughout the day. It is our hope that this combined effort provides staff with several quality COJET opportunities through this one-day event.

Transformative Leadership: Making A Difference

Nooo, flat cables are better but no one makes them by hand since they're harder to handle. It's easier to braid cables together in 1 bundle than it is to manage 3 cables all aligned perfectly.

Jimbo Fisher Speaks Highly of Team's Depth
Jimbo Fisher says FSU developed depth at OL, RB, WR, QB, DL, LB this spring. Says there's good depth across the board.
? Warchant.com (@Warchant) April 23, 2014
When asked about how the team compares to others, Jimbo says that he can't speak about other teams, he can only speak on his own. Fisher also talked about the possibility of rule changes in the game. He said they've always done 20 hours and they've never gone over. If certain issues can be avoided for the players, he says it would be a positive thing. He did not speak in favor or against what is going on at Northwestern with the possibility of a union.
When asked about spring practice as a whole, he said he was satisfied.
"How they practice with the tenacity...I was very happy with the way we backended spring practice."
Fisher spoke on the importance of Jameis Winston being at practice.
Jimbo: Jameis Winston is our leader and didn?t miss anything this spring. He prepared exactly same way this year as last spring.
? FSU Football (@FSU_Football) April 23, 2014
"It's the same as last year. We knew he had to be here and he wants to be here. He's our quarterback, that's what he did the year before. He went to every practice."

Rays' Price Feels Good Despite Recent Struggles
ST. PETERSBURG ? LHP David Price is adamant that he wasn't pitching badly in losing his past two starts. Instead, he says he just threw a few bad pitches, an important difference.
"I feel good," Price said. "It just comes down to making pitches. That's all it is. That's all it has been the entire year. I've just got to be able to go out there and make pitches.
"I normally go out there and compete and give everything I have. I just have to be able to make the pitches when I need to. It's something I haven't done as well in my last two starts. It will turn around."
