I ran a fun giveaway for CSN Stores a short while ago and on offer was a Delonghi Grill or a CuisineArt Ice Cream Maker. The other day Jess from the CSN Promo Team wrote in to say they selected me as a CSN Preferred Blogger. What that meant was another chance to either review a product or give one away to readers of Passionate About Baking from their store Just Vanities or any of their other 200+online stores. I chose to host the giveaway, and you choose how you would like to spend the gift certificate.
Whether bathroom vanity is what you are looking for, or stuff for the kitchen, CSN has one of the best selections on the web! With over 40,000 products to choose from that store or stores such as All Modern or Cookware, you can spend all day looking for the perfect product.
Tibetan monasteries are usually located at the very top of a hill, away from civilization and amidst beautiful peaceful surroundings. They are self sufficient in nature. This particular monastery had hostel like rooms for the young, and was surrounded by independent ramshackle cottages for the very elderly.
Everyone and everything exists here is harmony. You can feel and literally 'hear' the gentle breeze embrace you amidst the soothing sounds of prayer bells and Buddhist chants. The setting is as rustic and removed from the real world as can be. Each monastery has its own distinctive character and style and ambiance that surrounds it. The architecture too is exclusive to each. I have pictures of four to five different monasteries .. wish I could share it all here!
Back to Modern Spice … The book itself is divided into handy, colour coded sections and what I liked especially were the thoughtful pages for notes included at the end of each section. Neat idea! The only downside of the book, IMHO, is the lack of pictures. Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I do like to see a picture of how a dish would look, or have a general idea of what to expect. Otherwise, I like some of the ideas Monica offers that break away from traditional Indian flavour combinations, tempting the cook to step out of his / her comfort zone. Another intriguing aspect is the inclusion of recipes like fennel and chilli-crusted tilapia and basmati rice with pine nuts and mint, accompanied by a guava bellini... global influences that make you want to think out of the box!
Green Chutney Chicken
Inspired by recipe on Modern Spice, page 137
750gms chicken thigh tenders, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
2-3 green chillies, as per taste
juice of 2 limes
Salt to taste
1 bunch fresh coriander
1/2 bunch fresh mint
1/2 small red onion
1/4 thick hung yogurt
Wash and pat chicken tenders dry.

Thanks again for hosting the giveaway!
I love your chicken curry pics. I have cooked some Indian stuff before using my favourite "The Food of India. A journey for food lovers" and I love everything about different Indian dishes. I have to admit I love the veggie ones the best, but never say NO to a good chicken curry. 🙂
I love your website and thanks to Magda have found it and hope to visit you again. 🙂
First I'd like to congratulate you on all your wonderful and very well deserved success ;o)
I enjoyed reading your interesting post very much, but mostly appreciated you letting us in on your personal thoughts on this recipe book. As much as I can enjoy great recipes that are included in a book…I refuse to purchase books with limited visuals.
Photos are what inspires us to pick a recipe in the first place.
Those that decide to publish books like these should never cheat us of this pleasure!
Thanks again for sharing and flavourful wishes, Claudia
Congratulations, Deeba.. This seems to be a great recipe.. I love your baking section. If I win the give-away I'd like the stand mixer for sure..
Oh, I love these photos, Deeba. What a wonderfully restful place you found. There is a monastery near me as well, and I love to got here, just walk the grounds and feel so peaceful. 🙂 Your curry looks fantastic!! I would have to buy baking sheets, since I burned and warped the one I have. 🙂
I have been eyeing an icecream maker for close to 2 yrs now. I've researched the pros and cons of each model so if I win I'll probably plunge into that! Or the set of mini tart pans they just got. Super cute.
Loks very delicious! I am so happy that found this beautiful an interesting blog!
I've made several recipes from Monica Bhide's cookbook Modern Spice, and love it!

The Jefferson Airplane and The Jaywalkers are featured in this early May, 1966 dance concert. Wes Wilson's signature wavy letters come close to filling the paper, and the human head shape is discernable, this time with a gaping maw.
The pre-concert 1st printing measures 14" x 20 1/16" and is printed on vellum with union logo 72 in the lower right corner.
The post-concert 2nd printing was printed in 1967 on uncoated index and omits the union logo. This reprint measures 13 11/16" x 20".
When the Avalon Ballroom and Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium began to hold weekly dance concerts, Wilson was called upon to design the posters. He created psychedelic posters from February 1966 to May 1967, when disputes over money severed his connection with Graham. Wilson pioneered the psychedelic rock poster. Intended for a particular audience, "one that was tuned in to the psychedelic experience," his art, and especially the exaggerated freehand lettering, emerged from Wilson's own involvement with that experience and the psychedelic art of light shows.

ADA, MI — Baker Book House Company will celebrate 75 years of history next month, but the Christian publishing house's most interesting chapter is still being written.
The publishing landscape continues to transform as consumer reading habits shift from paper to digital.
The arrival of Kindle and other electronic readers marked the biggest transition Dwight Baker says he has seen in his nearly 40 years in the publishing business.
Baker, 53, is the third-generation president of the company.
He oversees a company that is now the third largest Christian publishing house behind Harper Christian, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's media empire News Corp, and Chicago-based Tyndale House, another independent publisher. Harper Christian brought Cascade Township-based Zondervan and one-time rival Nashville-based Thomas Nelson under one corporate umbrella.
Despite the growing competition from mainstream publishers entering the Christian market, Baker is more than holding its own. Baker's sales are up 6 percent for the current fiscal year that ends in April. Electronic books, which weren't a category five years ago, now account for about 25 percent of Baker's annual revenues of about $50 million.
"If you look at ebooks by themselves they are delightfully profitable, but as a publisher you can't," said Baker, noting that the technology shift has cost book retailers 25 percent of their business. Some have responded by expanding inventory to include non-book products.
Baker publishes 250 new titles a year, ranging from academic and theological tomes to Christian fiction including best-selling author Beverly Lewis, who writes novels set in Amish communities.
Baker's corporate divisions include Revell, Bethany House, Brazos Press, Chosen, Baker Books and Baker Academic, along with exclusive rights to the God's Word translation of the Bible and Cambridge Bibles.
Baker's beginning
The family-owned publishing and book-selling business began in 1939 when Baker's grandfather, Herman Baker, opened a used bookstore on Grand Rapids' Southeast Side, and began publishing books.
The Dutch immigrant started out working in a bookstore owned by his uncle, Louis Kregel, who later founded Kregel Publishing. He started his own Christian book business by opening a store at 1019 Wealthy St. SE in what is now Brick Road Pizza. The first 500 books that stocked on his homemade shelves came from his personal library.
A year later, he expanded into the publishing business with the release of "More Than Conquerors, " a commentary on the Book of Revelation by his friend William Hendriksen.
Herman Baker served as company president until 1987, when his son Rich Baker took over. A decade later, the reins were handed to Dwight Baker, who put his fine arts degree from Calvin College to work as the company's art director for 14 years, designing many of the book covers.
The company employs about 220, with 160 employees working at the Ada headquarters at 6030 E. Fulton St. Another 50 work in a publishing office in Bloomington, Minn., and 25 at the Baker Book House store at 2768 East Paris Ave. SE.
The company is still owned by Rich Baker and his four children: Dawn, 55; Dwight, 53; Dave, 47; and Dan, 41.
Dan Baker is the company's director of human resources, while Dave Baker handles community relations at the store. Dawn Baker works at Pooh's Corner, a children's bookstore in Breton Village shopping center that Baker sold to its managers about 15 years ago.
Baker's main customers are online retail giant Amazon and mega bookstore chain Barnes & Noble, along with Christian chains, including Lifeway Christian Resource and Family Christian.
Dwight Baker sees the recent investment from mainstream publishers such as Random House, Harper Collins and even Amazon into the Christian market as sign of its growth potential.
Religious book sales add up to $3 billion annually, about 98 percent of those are Christian titles, according to the Book Industry Study Group and informal CBA studies.
Religious titles make up about 5 percent of the total U.S. publishing industry, said Curtis Riskey, president of CBA, an organization of Christian retailers.
"Baker has a mission to serve diverse interests within the Christian faith, from entertaining fiction with a message to academic works with deep theological thought -- and has done that well over the decades," Riskey said.
The increased competition from such deep-pocket publishing giants makes Dwight Baker wince as a publisher, but not as a Christian.
"It's amazing God is putting all those resources behind the same enterprise, which is quite simply to serve the church," Dwight Baker said.
Serving the evangelical church has always been the company's mission.
Herman Baker launched his book business to meet the needs of the evangelical community, in which his own Christian Reformed Church faith is rooted.
The business challenge in facing off against publishing and sales giants is competing with their resources to offer writers big advances and aggressive sales distribution. But smaller publishers such as Baker are known for personal touches that come with having longtime employees who can build relationships with authors.
"I wouldn't want any author to sacrifice anything to come to Baker," said Dwight Baker. "I wouldn't want to say anybody, 'Come with us because we are so Jesus-y and we love you but your book won't get as far.'
"That is just not a valid business proposition to an author."
Moving away from retail
With the exception of the Baker Book House, on East Paris Avenue SE near 28th Street, the company is no longer in the retail business. At one time, the company had eight retail outlets in Holland and Grand Rapids. But the company began to divest from retail in the late 1980s as it saw patterns of book buying change, and shoppers began migrating online for their purchases.
The company's remaining store continues to be an important part of the business. In 2012, the store underwent a $1.6 million renovation and expansion that added a cafe, fireplace and lounge seating to make the 28,166-square-foot store more conducive for gatherings.
"We really want the store to be a place of community for the church in Grand Rapids," said store manager Sue Smith.
The East Paris store accounts for about 5 percent of revenue for the company, she added.
While the company continues to be pursued by brokers and competitors, there are no plans to sell the business. When asked about the company's 100th anniversary and the next generation, Dwight Baker laughs.
"I'm not really thinking that far ahead," he said. "I'm trying to enjoy the 75th anniversary."
The publisher is marking the milestone with an open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. April 24 at its store, and a book, "The Baker Book House Story," penned by Ann Byle, author and former Grand Rapids Press contributor.
Shandra Martinez covers business for MLive/The Grand Rapids Press. Email her or follow her on Twitter @shandramartinez.

Thank you for helping us by reporting bad content.
I recently went to Target to browse with the intention of purchasing some items from the Glade Expressions Collection. As I mentioned in my /viz/bzzagent-glade-expressions-collection-bzzcampaign, I was invited to the Glade Expressions Collection BzzCampaign as a BzzAgent. I was given a coupon for a free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit and the Oil Diffuser Starter Kit. The fragrance that I picked out for the Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit was the one called Cotton & Italian Mandarin - I smelled the cap of this in store and I loved how CLEAN this scent was! It reminds me of those Asian scented products meant for your car if you know what I`m talking about. This was $2.99 at my Target. The fragrance that I picked out for the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit was the one called Fuji apple & Cardamom spice. I had no idea what this smelled like, but I figured since the fall season is coming up, I love having those warmer, cozier-smelling scents. I think if they had the matching Oil Diffuser Starter Kit in the matching scent for Cotton & Italian Mandarin, I would have got that instead! This was $5.99 at my Target. The last thing that I purchased was the Vaseline Original Lip Therapy. This retailed for $1.79 at my Target. I just recently bought the Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly recently to use as my chapstick, and that turned out to be a few cents cheaper than this one. However, I left it at home and really needed chapstick. This Vaseline Lip Therapy was so small and cute! It was adorable so I HAD TO get it! With all the overages from the Glade Expressions coupons, my subtotal came out to be $0.00 when it would have been $10.77. However, I was charged tax on my would-have-been purchase of $10.77 so all I had to pay was 83 cents! :)
*DISCLAIMER*: I received these coupons to get the free Glade products as a BzzAgent for participating in the Glade Expressions Collection BzzCampaign, but in no way does that compromise the honesty and integrity of my thoughts and opinions. I was not paid for this review and these are my own honest opinions.

A bill that would compensate three women held captive for nearly a decade in Ariel Castro's home in Cleveland came one step closer to becoming law on Wednesday.
The measure was introduced a month after Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and a six-year-old daughter Castro fathered with Berry made their way to freedom in May from the home where the women were imprisoned, raped and beaten. It would provide each of the women with $25,000 annually for each year they suffered in Castro's home.
On Wednesday, the bipartisan House Bill 197 or the Survivors Abduction Act passed its committee vote with three dissenting votes from Republicans on the committee. It will now be considered by the full Ohio House of Representatives.
If the bill becomes law, Knight would get $275,000 for her 11 years of captivity, Berry $250,000 for her 10 years of imprisonment and DeJesus $225,000. The money would come from the Ohio Court of Claims' crime victims fund.
In addition, the law would require Cleveland State University to provide five years schooling plus room and board, all free of charge. They would also receive Medicaid funds for life at the discretion of the Governor.
Separately, a fund soliciting private donations that was set up after the captives were freed has reached $1.4 million from more than 10,000 donors.
Castro, 53, was found dead in his prison cell one month after he was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 1,000 years.
An autopsy report called his death a suicide but a prison report last week questioned whether Castro, who was found with his pants and underwear around his ankles, had not accidentally killed himself during an act of auto-erotic asphyxiation.
The bill's co-sponsor Cheryl Grossman, a Republican, told Reuters that the bill applies only to survivors held for eight years or more.
The Ohio Victims of Crime chest carries a balance of $26 million dollars on average and is funded by OVI reinstatement and court fees and a federal victims compensation program, Grossman said.
Co-sponsor John Barnes Jr., a Democrat, represents a district east of the Castro home and introduced the bill in June.
"I was outraged and thought of what, if anything, can be done to help these women on their long road of recovery," Barnes told Reuters.
Sponsors of the bill hope to rename it the Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus Survivors of Abduction Act after it passes both legislative houses.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
One of the better budget inkjet printers, the Canon Pixma iP3500 hits the spot offering above average performance and a decent amount of features for a fair price.
The Canon Pixma iP3500 inkjet printer is ambitious, squeezing a lot of printer functionality into an inexpensive package. While it falls short in some ways, it's still a great value.
The Pixma iP3500 printed quickly and competently. Plain-text pages exited at a brisk pace of 8.3 pages per minute (ppm), while photo-printing speeds ranged from 1.6 to 3.2ppm in our tests, about average overall. On plain paper, even closely spaced fonts looked precise and nicely black, with just a little jaggedness in curvier letters. Most of the colour images we printed exhibited a yellow to orange cast, which made them look warmer and more attractive but also produced slightly odd flesh tones.
At rest, the Pixma iP3500 looks like a shiny, black bread box. When it's time to print, an array of doors, flaps, and panels reveals a versatile -- if sometimes complicated -- set of features. The usual top-loading input tray takes a wide range of media sizes. The two-part output tray looks like an Evel Knievel jump: paper slides from a short tongue of plastic over a small bit of empty space toward a longer end piece. Nestled into the empty space is a second input tray that takes a few standard media sizes (A4, letter, B5); you could, for instance, load plain paper there and have the top input tray free for loading photo paper or labels. The small crowd of tongues, trays, and extensions can be confusing -- it's hard to tell where things go in or out -- but the second input is still a nice bonus. The few controls (visible when the front door is open for normal operation) are scattered, and their icon-based labels are hard to decipher.
A permanent printhead and removable ink tanks for each of the four colours sit beneath the printer's centre panel. The user-friendly design has clearly visible slots for the tanks. Like the ink tanks on other Canon inkjets, each of the Pixma iP3500's tanks has an embedded LED that lights red when the tank is properly inserted (which seems counterintuitive -- why not green?). The Pixma iP3500's ink costs, based on documents with a mix of text and graphics, seem reasonable: black ink costs about 5 cents per page, and adding cyan, magenta, and yellow brings the cost to 15.9 cents per page.
The installation includes Easy Photo-Print EX software for organising, editing and printing photos, plus Canon's My Printer application for adjusting settings and troubleshooting. A thorough on-screen manual covers both hardware and software. A Solutions Menu interface centralizes access to all of these items.
The Canon Pixma iP3500 hits the sweet spot among inkjet printers, offering a fair number of features and performance for the price. It's one of the better low-cost printers we've seen.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Figuring out where and when the next flu outbreak will occur may soon be less of a guessing game, thanks to technology from the meteorological world.
"This system can potentially be used to estimate the probability of regional outbreaks of the flu several weeks in advance," said Alicia Karspeck, a scientist at NCAR and a co-author of a study published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
After developing their model, Karspeck and Columbia University colleague Jeffrey Shaman ran it for the 2003-2008 flu seasons in New York. The results, they wrote, showed that "real-time skillful predictions of peak timing 'of a flu outbreak' can be made more than seven weeks in advance of the actual peak."
Shaman and Karspeck's system uses near-real-time data from Google Flu Trends, which tracks flu activity. The data can help overcome incomplete understanding about how weather and other factors (such as the exchange of germs indoors) may affect flu transmission.
While the authors caution that their study represents just a first step in influenza forecasting, they are hopeful about its application: "We will soon reach an era when reliable forecasts of some infectious pathogens are as commonplace as weather predictions."

Governor John A. Kitzhaber's Administration
Second Inaugural Address, 1999
Source: Inaugural Address Governor, John A. Kitzhaber, Oregon, 1999
WE convene today to celebrate our biennial exercise of democracy and I renew my oath to serve as your governor. We convene today in common commitment to those citizens who have found us worthy of leadership.
I can think of no greater honor than to have your trust, faith and confidence in leading our state for the next four years. And I can think of no more worthwhile task than rewarding that faith by working together with this legislature to meet our fundamental challenges? Good schools; quality of life; healthy, successful children; and, perhaps most important of all, re-creating that sense of community and common purpose which is our heritage – and which has made possible all that we have accomplished s Oregonians.
As we gather here today, I find myself reflecting on the sobering implications of this moment – for me personally – and or this state and nation politically. Personally, this will e my last oath of office as governor of the State of Oregon.
Politically, we gather in the shadow of a trial to impeach our President. These events create a moment in time from which we can look ahead and consider what is happening to civic life in our country and its implications for our future – and from which we can look back and remember why the public enterprise makes sense in the first place.
Like most Oregonians and most Americans, I believe that what is going on in out nation's capital is a debate that is only partly about our President's personally failings or his fitness for office. To a large extent it is a debate about partisanship – partisanship on both sides of the aisle.
This partisanship reflects the fact that politics has moved from the use of power for the public good to the gathering of power for its own sake. The accumulation of power at any cost.
Gone from our national discourses is that element of politics that actually means something to people – what to do with power once it is obtained. Gone is the basic agreement that politics is a process by which challenged are defined and met; a process by which communities – from local, to state, to national – can create a vision of their own future and put inn place a plan to achieve it. Gone is the belief that government is a tool by which we can achieve our common aspirations.
Instead, we are left with a partisanship – not only in the political sense – but in the civic sense as well. A partisanship and an attitude that has alienated citizens from their government and from one another – that has degraded our public institutions, that has swept aside community, and has enshrined the individual in its place.
We are left with the veil that all government can do is waste money . . . that government's proper role is to more money and keep more money; that there is no social problem that cannot be solved by a judicious application of personal wealth . . . that no overarching sense of community is needed or, in fact, desired.
And this self-serving attitude offers predictable answers to our greatest challenges.
If you think there is too much crime . . . Buy a security system. Live in a gated community. Buy a gun.
If you don't like our public schools . . . Abandon them. Send you kids to a private school and let those who can't afford to do so fend for themselves.
If you want clean air and water . . . Move to the country. Make pollution someone else's problem.
But individual wealth alone cannot shield us from the fallout of a society that cannot education all of its children, or keep them from crime, or make them successful, or clean its water and its air.
Don't misunderstand me – I believe in creating wealth. And I support an individual's right to do with it what they will. But private wealth will never become a substitute for community.
Here in this chamber we are surrounded by the names of pioneers. They did not buy their way here. They had resources, to be sure. But their migration was made possible only by joining together, by pooling those resources, by becoming a community. Then – and only then – would they take the risk of a lifetime; only then could they cross the Great Plains and the Shining Mountains to create the land in which we now abide. That has always been the Oregon way – and we are its beneficiaries.
Our greatest challenge today is to preserve that way to recognize it for what it is: a touchstone – a past we can invoke to inform our present. We must recreate the politics of community – the politics of progress – and bury the politics of partisanship. If we can do so, no dream lies beyond our grasp.
Our greatest challenge is to make our system of government work here in Oregon even as our national government veers recklessly toward the brink in Washington, D. C.
Our greatest challenge is to demonstrate that in this state we can still come together with open minds – and in a spirit of compromise, to forward a common public agenda.
The history of this state is the history of just this kind of cooperation. Our true heritage lies in our ability to join together to create a place – and a culture that helps define that place. We must not let that spirit vanish from Oregon and I pledge to work with every member of this assembly to help ensure that it doesn't
As I begin my last term as governor – and as we convene the 70th Legislative Assembly – let me share with you some lessons I have learned form my 20 years in public service which I believe may have some relevance to this session and to the public enterprise.
First, good ideas take time. The Oregon Health Plan was first enacted in 1989 but was not fully implemented until 1993. The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watershed Restoration, the Education Act for the 21st Century – these are works in progress that will take numerous legislative session to fully implement, yet which will reap benefits for generations to come.
This means that we must have clear goals and the patience and consistency to see them realized. It means that we must have the capacity to compromise as long a s we continue to move toward our goals.
As Governor Tom McCall said in his second inaugural: "Compromise indeed is bad for the spirit if it limits one's ideas or goals. At the same time, if we renounce realism and gradualism, we may – paradoxically – be frustrated in our ideas, and see the realization of our goals delayed."
Second, there has always been partisanship – but in the past it has been adversarial, not antagonistic. It was played out with civility and collegiality in a debate over different approaches to realizing common goals and visions.
We owe it to ourselves, to Oregonians and to the integrity of this public institution – the government of this level of civility. We must have the capacity and the maturity to separate politics from personalities – to never allow disagreements on matters of policy be reflected in the kind of character assassination that has dominated the national devote over the past month.
Third, what Oregonians expect form us is that we get things done. Oregonians recognize that the major issues with which we must deal – things like education, transportation, public safety, growth and sound environmental stewardship – these issues are not partisan in nature. The affect all Oregonians regardless off where they live, what they do, how much they earn, or what party they belong to. And Oregonians expect us to deal with them. They don't expect that we always agree, but they expect us to be constructive and sincere in addressing the common challenges that face our state.
I have spent much of the last four years – and the last year in particular – defining these challenges and proposing possible solutions. This Oregon Challenge – as I have referred to it over the past year – calls for definitive action in the least three broad area crucial to Oregon's future.
One of these challenges involves our system of public education, from pre-kindergarten though higher education and lifelong learning. Nothing is more important or more central to our future than meeting the obligation to educate – and to keep educating – the next generation of Oregonians.
We have the means to do so. The question is – do we also have the will? We stand on the threshold of a new century, and the doors of opportunity are open wide. Our challenge is to equip our children – all our children – to walk through them. Let us pledge ourselves to that.
A second great challenge involves preventing crime, especially among juveniles. How we meet this challenge will send a message to the future as to what we really value.
The massive expansion of our prison system shows very clearly that we value punishment. But don't we also value our children enough to keep them out of prison in the first place? Don't we value our families, our neighbors and friends enough to keep them from falling victim to crime? Our challenge is to make a commitment to prevention that is at least as strong as the commitment we have made to punishment. Let us pledge ourselves to do that.
A third great challenge involves planning growth in a way that will actually make a positive difference in how this state develops over the next twenty years. Oregon is bound to attract growth, simply because of what it is. Yet growth is a double-edged sward.
Handled right, it can offer a path to a bright and prosperous future. Handled wrong, it will slice to shreds everything that makes living here worthwhile. And if that happens – if we lose the qualities and attributes that define Oregon itself – we will lose not only our future, but our very identify. Our challenge is to find a way to accommodate growth without sacrificing the special quality of place t hat makes our state unique. Let us pledge ourselves to do that as well.
This is the Oregon Challenge – and tomorrow we will take up our task of meeting it.
And while I am firmly convinced that resolving these issues is central to our future, I do not presume that the specific proposals I have suggested are the only way to do so. I have no doubt that we will debate these ideas and others in the coming months. But I also know that Oregonians will properly hold us accountable for reaching – or not reaching – agreement on how to move forward.
If we are to be successful in the endeavor, we must recreate the sense of common purpose which has long been the foundation of the c community we call Oregon. The nation has often looked to us for inspiration in responsible government, for decency in public affairs, for civil personal relationships and for a respect for the natural world.
These are the virtues that build a community. These are the virtues that have build our state. We must never underestimate t he importance – indeed the necessity – of community and the power of place in shaping Oregon's future. For in spite of our differences and our areas of disagreement, we share a common story, a common heritage and we will surely heave a common legacy.
Yet as the stain of rancor and partisanship spreads westward from our nation's capitol, a our population increases, as we become more ethnically and culturally diverse, as growth begin to alter our landscape and bring into question the limits of our resources – we are beginning to lose this shared sense of ourselves a Oregonians.
We are losing our sense of common history and common purpose – our sense of connection and of community which has bound us together.
And if we lose this connection with one another, this spirit of community and commitment to place – then we will lose not only our identity, but our heritage as well. We cannot, we must not – and we will not allow that to happen.
So today, as we begin the last legislative session of the 20th Century – let us heed the well the words of Wallace stegner from the "Sound of Mountain Water." Words written about the West, but clearly inspired by Oregon.
"…one cannot be pessimistic about the West. This is the native home of hope. When if fully learns that cooperation, not rugged individualism, is the quality that most characterized and preserves it, then it will have achieved itself and outlived its origins. Then it has a chance to create a society to match its scenery."
No less than that is our goal. One state, one people, one destiny.

Flames have engulfed part of a home near North Plains where a shooting suspect was holed up Wednesday, authorities say.
Firefighters from Washington County District 2, Hillsboro and Banks fire agencies are at the home in the 35000 block of Northwest Mountaindale Road. Flames and smoke were seen soon after Washington County Sheriff's deputies deployed tear gas into the two-story home, said Sgt. Bob Ray, a sheriff's spokesman. It's not clear whether the tear gas caused the flames and smoke.
It is also not known if the male suspect is still in the burning home, according to Ray, or whether anyone else is in the home.
Deputies responded about 11:15 a.m. to a reported disturbance in a home near Northwest Mountaindale Road and Dairy Creek Road and soon learned that a man had been shot with a rifle, according to Sgt. Bob Ray, a Washington County Sheriff's spokesman. What motivated the shooting is under investigation.
The wounded man was being driven by a female relative away from the home as deputies arrived, Ray said. The victim was soon loaded into an ambulance and taken to an area hospital for treatment. His injuries have been described as serious but his condition has not been released.
The county's Tactical Negotiations Team and Hostage Negotiations Team has been dispatched to the area, and it is believed that the suspect still has the rifle, Ray said. The two men involved knew each other and deputies are working to learn more information.
The area near Northwest Mountain Dale Road and Dairy Creek Road has been temporarily closed to traffic. Motorists are asked to avoid the area.
Andrea Castillo of The Oregonian staff contributed to this report.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Titanate coupling agents provide antioxidant metal deactivation. Reported to be highly dispersible and about 25 times more efficient than products such as alkyl triaryl phosphites.
Ken-React pyrophosphate-derived titanate coupling agents are said to act also as flame retardants. When used with mineral fillers, they reportedly enhance flame resistance without an increase in cost or handling difficulty or loss of physical and rheological properties relative to unfilled or lightly filled compounds. Product is said to prevent splaying or exudation of antimony oxide/halogen-type systems.
Titanate coupling agents said to be highly effective lubricants at use levels below 2% of filler content. In filled systems they reportedly cut need for processing lubricants by 75-90%. Titanate and zirconate coupling agents also increase flow of unfilled polymers.
Kenplast ESB cumyl phenol benzoate, a solid processing aid, said to improve molding and extrusion characteristics and enhance physical properties of finished product. Used in PVC extrusion, RIM urethanes, and nylon processing.
Low-cost, proprietary plasticizers include aromatic hydrocarbons compatible with PVC, rubber, acrylonitrile, and SAN.
Kenplast G low-viscosity mixture of alkylated naphthalenes and phenanthrenes is an extender for epoxies, a secondary plasticizer for PVC, and a reportedly excellent compatibilizer for PVC/vinyl acetate combinations. When used in place of DOP, Kenplast G reportedly is more solvating than ester-type plasticizers, thus contributing to build in plastisols and enhance elongation.
Kenflex resins are derived from formaldehyde condensation of aromatic hydrocarbons. These nonvolatile, very high-flash-point solids reportedly impart in-process flexibility at elevated temperatures without detracting from the finished product's properties once it has been cooled. Available in various solvent and compounded forms for specific uses such as compatibilization of rubbers and plastics, and enhancing of mold release of hard-to-handle materials.
Plasticizers derived from cumyl phenol available as either glycidylether or acetate for use as a reactive diluent and flexibilizer for epoxies, PVC and urethanes. Higher temperature forms such as benzoate Kenplast ESB are useful in extrusion of PVC, urethane RIM, and in processing nylons. Cumyl phenyl benzyl ether is said to be an effective processing aid for extrusion of styrenics, SAN, polysulfones and phenylene oxide-based resins, as well as a compatibilizer for elastomers in PS, nylon, polyester and ABS.
Titanate coupling agents said to be highly effective lubricants at use levels below 2% of filler content. In filled systems they reportedly cut need for processing lubricants by 75-90%. Titanate and zirconate coupling agents also increase flow of unfilled polymers.
Kenplast ESB cumyl phenol benzoate, a solid processing aid, said to improve molding and extrusion characteristics and enhance physical properties of finished product. Used in PVC extrusion, RIM urethanes, and nylon processing.
Organotitanates act as urethane catalysts via a polyol-alcoholysis/NCO-alkylation mechanism. In a two-component RIM PUR, KR 55 titanate produces a faster gel than dubutyltin dilaurate. KR 44 amino titanate is said to provide higher ultimate tensile strength at significantly lower cost than dibutyltin dilaurate. Tg for urethane cured with KR 44 is higher than when cured with tin. Neoalkoxy titanates reportedly provide increased thermal and solvolytic stability.
A new slate of compatibilizers, chain extenders, and process aids improve properties and processability of resin alloys and mixed post-consumer recycle.
Kenrich Petrochemical's titanium/mixed-metal catalyst masterbatch regenerates PCR to virgin-like properties and more.
There were new additives for every need at NPE 2006: Make your plastics prettier with new colorants. Make them stronger with new fillers and reinforcements. Make them lighter with foaming agents. Or just make them go away with improved purging agents and biodegradable masterbatches.
Compounders, molders, and extruders will be treated to a wide range of new additives at NPE 2006.

How can they afford to offer $49 flights? Because we taxpayers subsidize them!
Under the Essential Air Service program we pay airlines around $220M/year to service over 100 small airports. The program dates back to the 70s when Congress deregulated airlines, thinking this would protect small airports.
It does – and we all pay for it - - the airlines receive a per-passenger subsidy from the largesse of US taxpayers...

I say let's give it a whirl. This may be what will help keep the airport viable. I also am eager to try the 50's cuisine, so keep us updated when it opens.

Please be sure the public knows when the restaurant opens so we can support it!! I would love to have lunch at a 50's style restaurant and woudl be willing to drive there (25 miles) to get it!

The Friends of Liberty State Park will host its annual fundraiser and luncheon on Sunday to raise money for the gardening and tree planting programs the organization runs to help beautify the park.
Held at Liberty House restaurant within the park, the FOLSP luncheon will honor former State Sen. Bernard Kenny Jr., who advocated for the park during his 20 years in the state legislature, as well as Greg Wentzel, who worked at the park for 29 years and later returned to help with Hurricane Sandy recovery.
The organization will also honor JoAnne Antczak, a volunteer gardener who helps mentor other volunteers, and will salute the Associates in Action Program at Kohl's in Secaucus.
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop will give the event's welcoming remarks, FOLSP President Sam Pesin said.
The luncheon will provide a brief update on Liberty State Park's progress in recovering from Hurricane Sandy from park Superintendent Robert Rodriguez, and a poem reading by FOLSP member Gloria Franklin-Gibson, Pesin added.
In addition, Greg Remaud, the conservation director for NY/NJ Baykeeper, will also speak about several environmental issues and initiatives affecting the park and its surrounding waterways.
"It's an honor to be able to speak at this event because they (FOLSP) dedicate themselves to Liberty State Park's preservation on top of their everyday jobs," Remaud said.
The fundraiser will include hors d'oeuvre from noon to 1 p.m., with the luncheon running from 1 to 4 p.m. Liberty House is located at 76 Audrey Zapp Drive.
Tickets are $65 for those who RSVP before noon on Friday, and $75 for walk-in attendees. Both the invitation and RSVP forms are available through FOLSP's website at www.folsp.org.
Founded in 1988, FOLSP is a nonprofit organization that works to preserve, protect, beautify, and promote Liberty State Park through volunteer programs and tree planting events in the park. Over the past several years, more than 800 new trees have been planted at the park, with 75 trees being planted in this spring's planting event alone, Pesin said.
"It's a friendly gathering of those who love the park," Pesin said. "We are very grateful for everyone who wants to make this park a better place."

Darrell Cannon was tortured by three Chicago Police Department detectives at a remote site on Chicago's South Side. Over course of a day, they pressed a cattle prod to his testicles and put it into his mouth. The officers attempted to lift him off the ground by handcuffs secured behind his back, contorting his upper body. They repeatedly made him believe that they had loaded a shotgun and rammed in into his mouth, breaking his tooth.
"These are all things they enjoyed doing," Darrell Cannon told Amnesty International, his voice cracking.
He spent 24 years in prison on the basis of a coerced confession that was tortured out of him – ten of those years suffering further degradation in solitary confinement at Tamms Supermax prison.

I am so excited that I can finally tell you this news!
Six months ago, the Foundation began speaking with the National Cancer Institute about a possible collaboration with the Love/Avon Army of Women. Now, after many meetings and memos, I am beyond thrilled to let you know that this new partnership will indeed be moving forward! Here's the story:
In 2004, the National Cancer Institute launched an initiative called the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) to help advance cancer research. Some people have referred to caBIG as the "worldwide web of cancer research" and that truly is a great way to describe what it is and what it aims to do: it's an information network that will speed up the pace of cancer research by providing a virtual home where investigators can collect, analyze, and share data.
I hadn't given too much thought to how the Foundation could work with caBIG until we launched the Love/Avon Army of Women—and then I had a brainstorm (well two):
Never before have epidemiologists had access to one million women interested in breast cancer research. What if we had a health survey our Army of Women members could fill out that epidemiologists could use to learn more about who develops breast cancer? And what if the data collected from studies that use our Army of Women was linked to caBIG so that it could be pooled together in ways that would allow researchers to share data from different research studies? Well, long story, short: We went to the NCI to share our ideas and the director of caBIG, Dr. Ken Buetow, not only thought they were great but found ways to make them even better! And now, a new partnership has been born.
Dr. Buetow and I produced a special NCI podcast about our new collaboration. You can read the transcript and learn more about the next step we are taking to unite women and researchers here.
Most importantly, this partnership will mean every woman who enrolls in the Army of Women will be able to take part in a study. Our new study, which will be called Health of Women (HOW), will be open to all women who enroll in the Army of Women and who want to be part of the first-ever online longitudinal study to address the causes and prevention of breast cancer.
The NCI is so excited about this new collaboration that its director, Dr. John E. Niederhuber, wrote about it in a recent NCI Cancer Bulletin. You can read his piece here.
I'll let you know when we are set to officially launch HOW. But in the interim, I really need you to help me build our Army of Women. Already 300,000 women have joined, but we need to think BIG and get a million women to sign up so that we can show all those breast cancer researchers how serious we are when we say we want to find out what causes this disease NOW!

As tax season approaches, a recent flush of tax refund fraud has taken center stage. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida began a hearing on a bill to stop the fraud and speed up payments back to victims, yesterday. He proposed this legislation about a year ago.
Like most legislation, this one sounds great. It's obviously designed to help people and combat a serious problem. There is one issue: the "how" of this bill. How would this legislation stop fraud?
By sharing more of your personal tax information with the police. This should immediately raise the privacy red flag. In Nelson's bill, he proposes more information sharing between the IRS and local law enforcement. Despite making this information highly sensitive, further sharing always puts information at risk to be leaked. Reuters wrote that the IRS's national taxpayer advocate, Nina Olson supported the bill but would need very clear parameters on when and how personal information was shared.
Right now, Nelson is advocating a sample program to roll out in Tampa. There is no date on this yet.
Personally, I feel jumping straight to sharing personal information is a problem. The government is pushing hard on privacy measures for the internet yet they want to let our most personal information, our finances, into a place of weakness. (Why not, I guess? They've already done that with our medical records.)
I'm not questioning the legitimacy of the problem, especially for Florida. Tax fraud and identity theft can be crippling. But this is not the only solution. Most of the fault lies at the with the IRS. The length of time it takes to process returns alone contributes to the problem. Yet, somehow process of checking for fraud somehow slips by. Third party debit cards unattached to real bank accounts are also an issue. Evaluating how and why fraud happens, then taking steps to correct it seems like the first line of defense before invading personal privacy.

It was out with the old and in with the new two weeks ago when Perkins closed for three days to completely remodel the interior.
The restaurant closed the afternoon of Sept. 12 and had everything done in time to reopen bright and early at 6 a.m. Sept. 16.
Jesse Zwak, manager, said the remodel went really well considering the short window of time they had to get everything done.
"Hats are off to the contractors that were involved in it," Zwak said. "They did a really great job."
A lot got accomplished in those three short days. The carpet was torn out, wall coverings taken down, booths, tables and chairs were all replaced, and the entryway and lobby were retiled.
"And we hung new wood paneling throughout the main dining room, too," Zwak said. "Which is pretty good for three days."
Zwak loves how everything turned out and said customer feedback on the new look has been very good.
"Everything that we've heard has been positive," he said. "People have been really happy with it."
He said the employees are also happy with the changes, although he noted with a wry grin they were also happy about the three days off they had during the remodel.
The remodel has been in the works for about a year, and Zwak said they did it because they felt the restaurant needed some updating, not because they were forced to by the Perkins corporation.
"It isn't anything that we're contractually obligated to do through Perkins. Sometimes a lot of people have that misconception that because we are a franchisee of Perkins that they require us to do them (remodels) at certain dates and that's not the case," Zwak said. "We just take it upon ourselves to freshen up our look and bring in a new look for the restaurant, new feel."
The carpet in particular was in rough shape, according to Zwak. He said it had been about seven years since the last remodel and time had taken its toll. Although the carpet is professionally cleaned on a quarterly basis, the time had come to replace it.
"We've been in business here for 28 years, locally owned and operated, so we know," he said. "It's kind of old hat for us, we know when it's getting to be time to start looking at doing it (remodel) again."
Having the restaurant locally owned and operated is a great source of pride for Zwak. His parents, Wayne and Val Zwak, had owned and operated Perkins for the first 25 years and he has taken over that role from them for the last few years.
"My mom and dad are proud to be able to make that transition, to be able to hand it down to keep it in the family and I'm also of course proud to carry on the tradition, too," he said.
Although the remodel was less than a week old when Zwak spoke with The Minot Daily News about it, he had a hard time remembering what the old color scheme was. He said before the remodel there were a lot of purple colors that were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The new look boasts more earth tones such as dark browns, tans and greens.
"It's comical because we were talking about that amongst us after we had finished that Wednesday night when we were standing here about midnight and we had finally gotten everything put back together, and the three of us were looking at each other like, I can barely remember what it looked like four days ago," Zwak said. "And you really can't. It's funny how the mind just kind of washes itself of the old look and embraces the new look."
