The furniture is old and over the years has acquired a few dents; drink rings, separations, burns, chips and assorted flaws. We will only mention those that we feel are objectionable. When we describe a piece of furniture as being in "excellent condition", it generally implies that the finish is original and the structure is in fine shape. A piece that has been totally or partially refinished and is in good structural shape will generally be described as being in "very good condition". A piece that needs to be refinished or that has a less than stable structural state (i.e. needs gluing, redoweling, etc.) may be generally described as being in "good condition". The majority of this furniture is ready to be put in the home.

If a work is in obvious need of repair, or has obvious imperfections, we will attempt to note it in the description. If a painting is excessively dirty, we will attempt to note it in the description; however, we do not feel that the normal darkening of varnish over years is problematic, and it will not be noted in the description. If you would like for us to give our opinion regarding whether or not a work needs to be cleaned, please contact us. We believe it is important for you to know the condition of a work before you bid on it. We strongly recommend that you personally inspect potential purchases before the sale, or have your representative inspect it on your behalf. If this is not possible, we urge you to call us for a detailed verbal or written condition report. This report is not a professional conservator's evaluation, but is given to the best of our opinion.

Ask Oregon Questions & Answers
We are thinking of visiting Oregon in either November, December or during the Spring. One of the things we would like to do is clam digging, is there anyone that offers this activity? – Lori
Most of the razor clamming on the coast is in Clatsop County (Warrenton to Cannon Beach). These beaches have the most stable populations of razor clams. There are other beaches that support razor clams including (north to south): Short Sands (Oswald West State Park); Cape Meares beach; Agate Beach; North Beach and South Beach (Newport); Waldport beach; North Umpqua Spit; Bastendorff beach and North Spit (Coos Bay); Whiskey Run (Bandon); and Meyers Creek beach (Gold Beach), but about 95 percent of the razor clamming is on Clatsop County beaches.
Razor clamming is open on Clatsop beaches from October 1 to July 14. The most popular times for clamming is during the spring and summer, when tides are lowest. There are some minus tides during daylight hours this year in November and December that would be your best opportunity this year, so check a tide table for those dates. Tidal predictions for the north jetty of the Columbia River would be the most accurate for Clatsop beaches.
A license for recreational clamming is required through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and clammers are limited to the first 15 clams taken. The ODFW website can offer more information on licenses and regulations. I don't know of anyone who offers razor clamming as an activity commercially.
Hope this helps and happy clamming!
We love cycling, although more road cycling than mountain biking, and I'm not too great on hills! Are there any particularly good (and relatively flat) cycle routes you could suggest? -Gill
Yes… as a matter of fact, where I live in Albany, OR we are actually right in the middle of an awesome scenic bikeway. I actually have a B & B there and we get bicyclists from all over the world stay with us because of our location. Check out this site, and we often have guests ride our covered bridges that begin just a few miles from Albany. You can certainly find shorter distances within these rides and many areas offer flat riding areas. That happens to be why our scenic bikeway and covered bridge area in Linn County is so popular.
Also, many people ride the bikeway just partially let's say from Albany to Eugene and then take the train back to Albany for example. Amtrak has a great schedule and is a great resource for our bicyclists wanting to ride only a portion. You can certainly just enjoy a ride around one of our towns such as Corvallis! It's all flat and riding to Oregon State University and around the downtown will offer you some great sites. There's even a bicycle renting shop downtown if you aren't bringing your own. They are all super nice and helpful.
Hope this helps!

I'd like to plan a trip to visit colleges in Portland and Eugene. I'd also like to visit Medford all in 3-days! ~ Marnie S.
First of all, you can certainly fly in to the Medford area or begin even in Eugene or Portland. That depends on you of course. Portland is just shy of 2-1/2 hours north from the Eugene area. Medford is about 3 hours south of Eugene. So, if you fly in to Portland, you can spend one whole day enjoying the city and touring a few colleges. As you may already know, Portland is home to many colleges/universities and I just happened to have driven by Reed College today… it's gorgeous! You could really spend several days here but I know you have three days so one day in Portland will give you a small idea of what it's like here.
From the Portland area, I would almost say to jet down to Medford and spend one night there and come back up to Eugene from there the next afternoon or evening. Usually I tell folks to stay of I 5 driving however you have a lot of ground to cover. So, heading from Medford back up to Eugene, I would first stop at Lillie Belle Chocolate: http://www.lilliebellefarms.com for some road snacks! Also, grab some of Southern Oregon's delicious cheese right next door at Rogue Creamery: http://www.roguecreamery.com/store/ You can grab some bread there too and to experience the greatness of Southern Oregon on a road trip is a good thing! Both places are just outside Medford in Central Point.
The University of Oregon is a gorgeous campus. Take the tour!! You will find the campus has a certain feel that exudes it's history, it's place in Oregon and a vibe that is young and exciting. I have taken the tour of the campus a few times and suggest that you bring your camera and settle somewhere for a coffee and enjoy!
For lodging ideas, I am going to suggest you check out www.obbg.org I happen to be an B & B inspector for The Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild and there are tons of great B & B's along the route for you to choose from!
Here's a list that may make it easier:
Touvelle House B & B: http://www.touvellehouse.com In Jacksonville if you decide you have time to drive just a tad further than Medford. This is totally worth the extra few miles and plus… Jacksonville is a "must see" as far as I am concerned!
C'lest a Vie Inn is a great neighborhood location in Eugene and not too far from Ninkasi… a place to grab a delicious local beer. In the Portland area, I would highly suggest you check out Ace Hotel, it is the best location to "feel the city" and experience true Portland fun! Kenny and Zukes on the corner have the best bagels and Powell's is just a block away… you have to check out Powells!
I hope this info has helped and please let me know if I can help you further! You have a lot to cover in just three days! Have fun and thanks for your AskOR question!

If I had 3 days in Oregon, where would I travel to? Love sun, water and rock formations. Love to eat seafood (especially shell fish).
Sounds like you need to plan a trip to the Oregon Coast! If sun is an important part of the equation, you should plan your trip for July, August or September. Of course, the coast is spectacular no matter what the weather, but those are the months with the best chance of dry days and sunny skies. The rocks, water and seafood are the easy part. The Oregon Coast is known for its coastline punctuated by nearly 2000 sea stacks and small islands that are all part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. They are great areas for exploring tidepools and watching birds, marine life and crashing waves. On the North Oregon Coast, the state's most famous landmark is Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. From Cannon Beach, you can also see the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse built on a small rock a mile from the shore. Pacific City also has a Haystack Rock a little further offshore and the beautifully sculpted sandstone headland, Cape Kiwanda. On the Central Oregon Coast, Seal Rocks is named for it's rock formations at the edge of the shoreline. Other great geologic formations include Devil's Punchbowl in Otter Rock and Devil's Churn in the Cape Perpetual Scenic Area near Yachats. On the South Oregon Coast, the beach at Bandon offers numerous rock formations. These are just a few examples. Here's a recent story we did on the Oregon Coast's sea stacks.
Wherever you choose to go on the coast you will find great, fresh seafood. Dungeness Crab, oysters and razor clams are among the Pacific shellfish delicacies you will find. If you'd like to provide more information on what area of the coast you are interested in or where you are coming from, I can make some more specific recommendations. I hope this helps for now.
What is Thor's Well and where can I see it?
Thor's Well is located near Spouting Horn at Cook's Chasm in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area near Yachats. It can be viewed by taking the Captain Cook Trailhead from the Visitor Center where it is located on the rocky shelf just north of Cook's Chasm. When tides are right, water surges upward from the bowl carved out of the basalt shoreline and then drains back into the opening. Many photographers trying to capture the action report how dangerous it is to try to get close to the spouting horn when it's active, so if you visit, be careful and keep your distance. It can be viewed safely from the highway viewpoint at Cook's Chasm or lower viewpoints along the paved trail.
Formations like Thor's Well and Spouting Horn are typically formed over long periods of time geologically. They begin as a sea cave and eventually the top of the cave collapses, leaving an opening where the tide surges from below send water shooting upward with dramatic force.
We are thinking of doing a road trip through Oregon for 2 weeks in early July 2013. We're most interested in mountain / wildlife scenery in Oregon and coastal and wine experiences. We would also like to know if it is easy to do this by motorhome rather than car? – Gill W., Cardiff, Wales.
I believe I can give you some great ideas on how you can road trip your way around Oregon and see as much as possible in two weeks! First of all, let me say that either way you choose to travel, you will love it. I personally would love a road trip via motorhome because of all the perks of "having your home ride with you" and it will give you a chance to pick up some delicious food from many regions and prepare and enjoy it yourself. Although, traveling via auto isn't bad either cause I do enjoy dining at a different place each day when I'm out and about so be sure to treat yourself to some of our local restaurants too if you do motorhome it! We have some pretty amazing chefs in our towns and cities that LOVE to share all the goodness found here.
I would probably begin in or near the Portland area. From there, I would def stop at Multnomah Falls and possibly enjoy a short hike and of course take tons of photos. It's quite beautiful there and if you have never seen it, you will wonder what took you so long!
Moseying along hwy 84 east, you will find the town of Hood River. You must stop and stay a day to enjoy all it has to offer! There is always something delicious going on in that region! Also, as you may well know, a stunning Mt. Hood awaits your visit too! Gaze and be amazed at our mountain and be sure to bring your camera and binoculars! Here's more info about the area. There is hiking at my favorite Mt. Hood area trail called Tamanawas Trail; it's pretty easy and worth the surprise at the end!
If you can tear yourself away from Mt. Hood, head east once more and follow the road to places such as Pendleton, Enterprise and Joseph, Oregon. I would suggest a night in Joseph so you can enjoy the beautiful Wallowa Mountains via Hells Canyon Scenic Byways.
This site is awesome and will take you on a wild ride of beauty and the "all natural" side of Oregon! Baker City is where I would suggest you take a break! I loved this route when I took it a few years ago. Don't be surprised if you see a "real" cowboy herding cattle or find some restaurant in some quaint western Oregon town where everyone turns and looks at you when you walk in. You aren't a local but it's all good cause you'll sit and enjoy a burger made of all local ingredients and smile as you enjoy every bite!
From the Baker City area, it's time to head to Bend and Sisters Oregon! Stay a night in either town and enjoy our Central Oregon region. I have taken a Lava Cave Tour in Bend, I have taken the beer tour at Deschutes Brewery… and I love downtown Bend! If you decide to drive a car, you have to check out The Old St. Francis School for lodging. I have also enjoyed snowmobiling a few times too at Mt. Bachelor but of course there won't be any snow however, driving around and enjoying some of our cascade mountains in this region is quite spectacular. See Sisters, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Bachelor and the rest! You can see many of these mountains when you take hwy 20 toward the Willamette Valley! Hwy 20 is also the part of the Over The River and Through The Woods Scenic Byway! Enjoy the gorgeous ride all the way to Albany, Corvallis and up in to hwy 99W!
You are now nestled quite nicely in to the Willamette Valley so it's time for some delicious wine! You can certainly find info on our hundreds of wineries or you can wing it and enjoy finding some on your own! I always enjoy finding new things and experiences by chance but for just a little guidance, here are a few of my fav wine stops:
It's a little tough to choose here but if you'd like, you can shoot over to the coast whenever you want from the Willamette Valley. If I could suggest a few cities that I love along the Oregon Coast… Canon Beach, Seaside, Tillamook and Astoria! I truly love all of it and the cities I listed are all pretty much in our North Coast and so would be doable in a day or two depending on your timing. Once you are in Astoria, you aren't too far from Portland.
You can of course change up this route as much as you want and if time allows, you can shoot down to Crater Lake in Southern Oregon around the Albany area taking I 5. It's probably a "must see" if I may say so but I wouldn't stuff so much in that you can't take your time to enjoy where you are!
As far as enjoying our Oregon wildlife, you will find that we do take preservation of many things very serious. Our reserves and estuaries are protected wildlife areas and to name a few places for viewing wildlife:
William Finley: http://www.fws.gov/WillametteValley/finley/ (loved this area)
Oak Park Refuge: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=490&action=ViewPark (I'm actually hiking this refuge tomorrow!)
Sauvie Island: http://www.pdxinfo.com/hikes/sauvie.php (awesome hikes and scenery!)
Here's a few links to check out when you choose which mode of travel you will be taking:
This is a lot of info to take in so please let me know if I can overwhelm you some more! I can provide more detail about roads to take, etc. but I am sure part of the fun in planning is finding your way and finding those out of the way places that will make your trip so special.
Please feel free to follow my on Facebook page… look for Oregon Bliss and on my blog at www.whitebreadandjam.blogspot.com I am Sweet Bliss there! You can follow me around Oregon and beyond at both these sites. I enjoy Oregon and my new experiences and share all of them!

What is the best time of year to visit Oregon, drive along the scenic coast, antique…? –Gus
The Oregon Coast is different and spectacular in each season. Summer is the warmest and driest, but busiest time. Spring is beautiful with new growth on the foliage, blooming wildflowers and is good for enjoying birds and wildlife. Winter is a favorite for storm watchers and those who like it quiet and secluded. The ocean is a totally different experience in the winter with dramatic crashing waves. There are many savvy travelers that wait until after the summer rush (after Labor Day) and enjoy the usually beautiful Indian Summer and fall. I personally love mid-September to mid-October. There's still a good chance of warm weather and it can be beautiful or dramatic with fog, mist and beautiful cloud formations.
If you like to antique along the way, I would suggest the quieter seasons. Lincoln City is known for it's numerous antique stores. Astoria and Seaside also features several. Each February, Lincoln City hosts Antique Week – actually 10 days of antique sales and events. We just did a story on Antiquing in Lincoln City you can find HERE.
Hope this is helpful.
Happy Exploring!
Is there a bad time of the year to visit Oregon (i.e. when is the rainy season)? We are thinking of a visit along the coast and across the Columbia River Gorge in July or august in a couple years; however, we are open to any suggestions of a better time of the year.
No, there is not a bad time of year to visit the Oregon Coast, but there is a rainy season. Between November and January, many parts of the coast average over 10 inches of rain each month. Many people come to the coast during this time to experience the awesome storms that can whip the seas into a frenzy and showcase the dramatic forces that shape the landscape. It can be wet and windy, but many are attracted to this quieter season at the coast. Hotels offer great off season rates too.
July and August are the most dependable months for dry weather and sunny skies. It is also the busiest time of year. My favorite time of year is September and early October. There are typically smaller crowds and the weather can still be nice, though slightly cooler than summer. Fall can offer scenes of fog, mist and cloud formations that can be stunning.
Whatever time of year you come, you will want to be prepared for cool temperatures and the possibility of rain. If you are prepared, you will be able to enjoy the magic of the coast in any season you visit.
Happy Planning!
What are some of the best spots to view fall leaves between Crater Lake and Lakeview?
Greetings from Southern Oregon,
West of Crater Lake in northern Jackson County, there are stands of maple that turn orange and crimson this time of year. East of Crater Lake, the fall color show is put on by native aspens. The main concentration is in the Fort Klamath area. But there are numerous groves in the vast Fremont National Forest scattered in the upper reaches of the Sycan, Chewaucan, Sprague and Williamson rivers, between Klamath Falls and Lakeview, according to the Oregonian.
Here's a story from the Mail Tribune newspaper about some of the best aspen viewing: http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071011/LIFE/710110301&cid=sitesearch

Is there an apple tour in the Hood River area or around Mt Hood? Where is the best place for fall color?
Are you looking for an organized tour, or one you can drive on yourself?
There are actually Gravenstein apples are actually in season right now, and there are many U-pick farms where you can go and pick your own. For the most variety in apples the best time to go is generally anytime in October. (This is usually when I stock up on my own to make apple butter.) See the Hood River Fruit Loop for detailed information.
For best fall colors, I suggest a drive along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The combination of waterfalls and autumn foliage is outstanding! This can also be done on your way to Hood River to fetch apples!

Pink is for girls and blue is for boys, right? Not always the case. Yes, when it comes to color, it's time to rethink those gender stereotypes. Because, as it turns out, it was men who first identified with the hue (and this is long before pink polos were popular).
You see, before WWII, society looked at these two colors in a very different light. In fact, in a 1918 Ladies' Home Journal article, readers were informed that "blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." At the time, pink was a stronger color signifying masculinity (as derived from red), so it was considered better suited for boys.
The pink-is-for-men trend continued through 1925, when pink suits – like the one shown in The Great Gatsby – were worn by men as stylish symbols of wealth. Somewhere along the line, however, the postwar generation decided to switch things up. Evidence of that change first came in 1947 when Christian Dior introduced the ultra-feminine New Look and offered it in pink. And ever since, women have taken to the decidedly feminine color with abandon.

If there was one word I would not use to describe my style it is preppy (also androgynous). To be completely honest, the world of pastel polos and khaki pants kills my soul a bit. Yet, the style of this American Beauty Rose dress struck me as classic American prepster, but hopefully with a bit of a twist. Maybe it is just the red and navy combination that always makes me feel (unintentionally) patriotic.

Yet, the style of this American Beauty Rose dress struck me as classic American prepster, but hopefully with a bit of a twist. Maybe it is just the red and navy combination that always makes me feel (unintentionally) patriotic.

The strong red and blues of this outfit really pop! it's completely opposite of the typical pastel prep that you've mentioned for sure. Yet I think my favorite photo out of these has to be the one where you show your wing tattoos. So sweet. :)

There is definitely a patriotic vibe to this outfit, which I must say is very you! The dress is incredibly pretty and so are your vibrant red lips. :D

Beautiful look Rebecca.
Although, I have to disagree about preppy looks being pastel polos and khakis. I love the classic American preppy look and channel it from many different eras, such as the 1920's, 1950's and the 1980's. Definitely different looks from each time, but all still preppy.

i don't think your version of preppy could ever be stale!
This outfit seems more "clean" than preppy, it really fits together, especially since nothing is competing with the red zipper. Also, all your details make it completely "you." I love that dress, and think it could work in a 1,000 ways!

This is great -- it's your own twist on a bit of a preppy style, but making it original. I'm sorry I've been so absent from the comment board, but I do visit so that I can feel inspired by your outfits and photos. I love how you're always changing your nail colors. I stopped painting my nails as they get chipped either cooking or digging around in the garden, but you always inspire me to at least paint my toenails, even if no one can see them until sandal weather comes around!

My favorite thing about the way you dress is there's always something really interesting and unique about how you style every outfit. For example, I probably wouldn't have thought about pairing the shoes with the blazer & dress, but it's what makes it so quirky & adorable! Works perfectly.

- celi.a said...
Love the outfit - that red zipper detail on the dress matched with your nails and lips is just perfect. And I don't think I'd use the word preppy - but it IS a tad nautical, maybe? Those two might be synonyms these days...
Do you have a striped sweater to wear over/under the dress? I'd like to see that combo (just a thought, not a demand *grin*). Beautiful photos, as always!

- fashionforwriters.com said...
I love it! Especially the exposed zipper and the amazing flats! I always get scared of preppy looks though, especially because some people can rock it so hard, like Erin from Calivintage. But I also secretly think you can rock any look! I love it when your outfits are tattoo baring :)

Tierra Literally Falls For Sean This Week On 'The Bachelor'
First of all, ABC needs to stop opening the show with Sean either working out, showering, or doing anything without his shirt on. Cut back to the sixteen remaining ladies in the house and the date card goes to...Lesley. Sean picks her up in a limo and the two head out to Hollywood Boulevard to the Guinness World Records museum. Sean reveals that his own father holds a record for traveling 48 states continuously in the shortest amount of time and that the two of them will attempt to set their own world record for the longest onscreen kiss. We don't think these two will have a problem with this one and although we were scratching our heads while Sean said how great of a kisser Lesley was (because the entire three minutes were ridiculously uncomfortable) the two now hold the record. Who were the creative minds behind that stunt, ABC? Next, the two head up to the top of the Roosevelt Hotel for some dinner, champange and conversation about the future. Lesley tells Sean that he makes her nervous and it really seems like he is into her as he hands her the rose.
The next date card goes to Kacie, Robyn, Leslie, Taryn, Kristy, Catherine, Desiree, Amanda, Lindsay, Daniella, Jackie and Tierra leaving Selma, Sarah and AshLee to fight for the next one-on-one date card. The twelve girls meet Sean at Zuma Beach in Malibu where they will toss around a Frisbee and strip down to their bikinis. Here comes Sean's pecks again! Chris Harrison appears and lets them know that they will be competing in a beach volleyball game and the losing team will be heading home while the winners will get to spend more time with the man of the hour. The girls are putting in their best effort and seem like they are having fun but their competitive sides are coming out as well. Desiree and her team win sending Taryn and her team home, who admitted that this was the biggest moment of her life...really? The losing team gets in the van, most of them crying, as the winners get to have an outdoor candlelight dinner with Sean.
Sean singles out Lindsay first and she tells him that he is everything she is looking for and more. Macaroni called, it wants its cheese back! Next, Sean pulls aside Desiree and again we are convinced that she is the frontrunner. It is a little awkward though when Sean tells her that she looked cute in her bikini and she answered, "Oh good!" The next date card arrives at the house and it goes to AshLee (not after Tierra says and Selma too!). Cruel joke, Tierra, cruel. Back at Sean's house, the girls overhear Amanda talking to Sean and they are convinced she has another personality when Sean is around, so Kacie decides to tell Sean about her....and Desiree. We had no idea that Desiree would be pulled into this, Kacie, and we think you may be the next to go. Sean agrees with us and asks her why she is involving herself in the drama and calls her a crazy person. Bye bye Kacie...and the rose goes to Lindsay.

"I would imagine they are very close," says one senior medical student looking at a statue of two figures intertwined.
It's a slow pace for a group of young doctors as they weave through the Honolulu Museum of Arts, pondering the details of a piece of art.
"Any ideas on what you're seeing?" asked Dr. Steve Miller of another group of students.
"She has this look on her face like she's showing off her child," said senior University of Hawaii medical student Meredith Wagner.
UH is now requiring that its medical school seniors take a trip to the museum to study the art of observation.
"I was a little skeptical at first," said Wagner.
Since 2010, close to 200 medical students and doctors have participated in the program, from a one-hour session, to a five-day course.
Today, nearly all of the country's best medical schools include "art observation" courses.
"Most doctors rely on the side of their brain that gives them answers quickly. They want to be efficient. I think when that happens, they're forgetting the human side of things, that people need to have a connection," said Betsy Robb, who is the museum's director of tours programs.
"We found, over the years, by and large, the people that don't make it in both medicine and administration don't really read human situations well," said Miller, who is a retired ophthalmologist.
The Institute of Medicine reports some 98,000 people die every year due to preventable medical errors.
Harvard University found nearly 40 percent of its students who took the "Training the Eye" course made more clinical observations than those who did not, resulting in fewer tests and fewer mistakes.
"It's important to be that careful about observation, because you might find that disease if you take a little while," said Miller to his group of students.
"It actually applies a lot to what we do and how we see patients," said Miller.
The course has proved to be so successful, doctors from Straub, Queens and Hawaii Pacific Health have all participated.
Instructors said discussing art helps physicians be more open and expressive with their patients and colleagues, as well as be more open to different opinions about a diagnosis.

"It's been great to work on, and I think the reason it's been successful is because the committee really does the groundwork in conjunction with the chamber," said Keith Arnold, the new executive director at Beeville's Chamber of Commerce.
He said, "Most importantly, it's top level entertainment on the Tejano side and the Texas Country side. And there's fresh faces there, too.
"Pat Green and Cory Morrow are strong in that world of entertainment. Siggno always draws well here and is a powerful Tejano group, and Ricky Naranjo, who's basically from the area around Corpus Christi, is a great name, too.
"The centerpiece to this whole thing is top quality entertainment. There will be adult beverages, and there will be food concessions there.
"But this year, it's really focused on the music."
Gates to the Expo Center open at 7 p.m. each night for those wanting to arrive a bit early.
Tejano band Siggno, headlining Friday, Aug. 8, has been around for quite some time. They were founded in 2000 and have since exploded all over the Latin regions of the world.
Their smooth, sincere love ballads have caused girls to swoon for years, and their upbeat dance tracks have been shuffling boots for just as long.
Texas Country staple Pat Green, who will headline country night Saturday, Aug. 9, has made his mark all over the world with his music and is friends with the greats like Willie Nelson and Kenny Chesney.
But a few local favorites will be joining them on stage as well this year.
"It's also great to have two local groups performing each night with Luna y Sol Mariachi (Friday)and also the Dave Rukkus Band (Saturday)," Arnold said.
And with Summerfest growing bigger and better every year, what's there to look forward to as the fest heads into the future?
Some question whether the community can sustainably run a Summerfest and a Winterfest, and maybe have different kinds of emphasis on each of them.
Arnold said, "There's been discussions about looking for a classic rock or oldies rock kind of thing here, too. There may be a Winterfest down the road. Winterfest 2014 doesn't exist as we know it at this moment, but when all the committee and all the volunteers and all the people that are helping have recovered from Summerfest, we'll start having discussions about that, too."
And the committee is always looking to make the event easier for people to come out and enjoy. For the first time tickets will be available online at experiencebeecounty.org, and credit and debit cards will be accepted at the door as well.
"(The) Committee is always looking for ways to improve it. Certainly, there's no question that the committee would like to see more family-oriented things tied in to it as well," he added.
And the Chamber of Commerce is also looking for ways to help out local businesses and bring people from out of town to enjoy a weekend of great music.
They have partnered with La Quinta Inn to offer discounts on rooms for the weekend for anyone wishing to come and stay for a few days.

It can include efforts to directly address an issue, work with others in a community to solve a problem or interact with the institutions of representative democracy."
The government of this country was founded on the idea that informed citizens would be involved in selecting our leaders to create our laws. Civic engagement includes the responsibility to remain informed about the important issues which impact these decisions and understand our rights as citizens. This section includes resources on how you can participate more in this process. It also includes resources on becoming a citizen and information for others who reside in the country.

USA Today versus Stanislaw Burzynski
This is an SBM public service announcement—with blogging! Think of it as a bonus post, and don't forget to read Mark Crislip's regular biweekly offering, as it's about an article in Skeptical Inquirer that particularly irritated him—and me, as well. Because, as we all know, the world needs more Mark Crislip.
I've made no secret of how much I despise Stanislaw Burzynski, the self-proclaimed cancer doctor and medical researcher who has been treating patients with an unproven, unapproved chemotherapeutic agent since 1977, seemingly slithering around, under, over, and past all attempts to investigate him and shut him down. Indeed, just type his name in the search box of this blog, and you will see copious evidence of my disdain for the man. Over 37 years, Burzynski has become a hero to the cancer quackery industry, touted as the man who can cure incurable cancers that science-based medicine can't, even though his treatment, antineoplastons, allegedly peptides isolated from blood and urine that normally keep cancer in check in healthy people, are by any reasonable definition chemotherapy. Indeed, they are toxic, with a number of side effects reported, the most common and dangerous of which being life-threatening hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood). All you have to do is to type Burzynski's name into the search box of this blog, and you'll find copious documentation of the abuses of patients, science, and clinical trials perpetrated by Stanislaw Burzynski and the cult of personality that has evolved around him. He's even acquired his very own film propagandist, a credulous fellow named Eric Merola, who has made two astoundingly bad documentaries that are nothing more than unabashed hagiographies of the brave maverick doctor curing cancer where no one else can. They're chock full of misinformation, pseudoscience, spin, and obvious emotional manipulation, and the first one at least, was very popular.
For the longest time, I've been hoping that major mainstream news organizations would take this story on. It's happened from time to time, but until 2013 it hadn't happened in a long time. Earlier this year, the BBC featured Burzynski in an episode of its long-running series Panorama. It was a mixed bag that took the fairly easy path of making it all about the patients and never really delved into what I believe to be the central mystery of the four-decade-long Stanislaw Burzynski story, and that's how he's managed to keep his medical license and register clinical trials right up until 2012. That was a disappointment, although much of the rest of the Panorama episode was very good. He still has his medical license, but as I've pointed out several times, the FDA placed a partial clinical hold on Burzynski's antineoplaston phase II clinical trials back in the summer of 2012. A partial clinical hold means that no new patients could be enrolled, but patients already on them could continue to receive treatment. In 2012, apparently a child died on antineoplastons, and so a partial clinical hold was placed on the trials involving children. That clinical hold was extended to adults in January 2012, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth among Burzynski apologists, as the FDA investigated between January and March. We now know the results of that investigation, but we never knew much about how that partial clinical hold came about.
Now, thanks to Liz Szabo at USA Toda, we know from her article "Doctor accused of selling false hope to families":

I Give My Thanks to Ben Francisco
If not for Ben Francisco's leadoff homer in the top of the 12th, I would have been doing this today
as I sat writing about Brad Lidge's seventh blown save of the season.
The Nose Knows
Things had looked bleak back in the sixth, with the Phils down 2-0. I was already envisioning doing the head-banging thing, as Rich Harden had been perfect through 5 1/3. But then Carlos Ruiz walked with one out. J.A. Happ then made a pathetic attempt at a sacrifice bunt, popping out to Derrek Lee and failing to advance Ruiz. So with two outs, Jimmy Rollins comes to the plate, and my husband announced he could "smell" a two-run homer.
Sure enough, Jimmy came through to tie the game!
The Phils went up 3-2 in the eighth, when Ryan Howard walked with the bases loaded. Thank you Ryan, for not striking out!
But darn it, Brad Lidge came on in the bottom of the ninth. Unlike last year, he has been anything but "lights out" this year. As mentioned earlier, he allowed the Cubs to tie the score, for his seventh blown save. Ready…to…tear…hair…out! Guess it's a good thing Charlie doesn't have too much of his own hair left, because if he felt like I did, he'd have been yanking it out by the handful.
Fast forward to the top of the 12th, and Francisco's homer puts the Phils ahead. Heading into the bottom of the 12th, I commented that thankfully Lidge couldn't come in again to blow another save. Chad Durbin entered the game and did what Lidge could not, preserve a one-run lead to get the save.
Give Me An 'O'!
Today's Inquirer had a good write-up about prospect Domonic Brown, who was recently promoted to AA-Reading. According to the story, Brown remains a shy prospect despite the recent attention cast on him by various trade-deadline rumors, and only recently informed the Phillies that they have been spelling his name wrong ever since he was drafted.
So I looked in the 2009 Media Guide, and sure enough it was spelled "Dominic". I also noted that he had been drafted in 2006! A mere three years ago. Better late than never, I guess.
This Sunday we'll be heading to Reading for the game, so I hope to get a good look at (and some good photos of) Brown in action.

Sue – what do you think about Pedro pitching tonight? I very curious to see how he does!
and to think if they hadn't got Francisco in the trade, that could have been bruntlett coming up to bat in the 12th, I wonder if the fact that they couldn't spell Domonic's name right has instilled more confidence in him or less…. amusing it too then that long, what have they been putting on his paychecks I wonder
and of course tonight the Phillies get national ESPN coverage to see Pedro's first start, hope it doesn't produce any head banging, on or off the field
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Your graphics are hysterical. Boy, I've wanted to do some headbanging when the Dodgers were in that slump.
Did you see the beer toss last night? Wow…poor Shane. Cracks me up when people pick on Phillies fans and then we see stuff like that.

Nearly one year ago, a gunman with ties to white supremacist groups walked into a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple and opened fire -- killing six people and wounding five others.
The gunman took his own life after being wounded in a shootout with police.
Sunday, hundreds packed the temple to remember those who lost their lives.
They also shared memories of the horrific day. Much of the talk centered on how the community came together in the worst of times.
Speakers included the temple president, Gov. Scott Walker, Congresswoman Gwen Moore and former Oak Creek Police Lt. Brian Murphy.
They also reflected on how much has changed at the temple in one year.
"As horrific as that day's occurrences were, and as painful as it is to lose those Sikh loved ones, not only for their family, but their extended family here at the temple and throughout the community, the brightest moment out of all this is that yet again, you've showed this community, this state, this country and the world that love can triumph," said Gov. Scott Walker.
The federal government is also commemorating the anniversary of the shooting.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced a federal grant of about $500,000 for mental health and trauma services for survivors, family members and anyone affected by last year's shooting.

Oh yes, it's not just the schools.. schools are social institutions that reflect the zeitgeist.
I went to school before TV was so pervasive. and at a time (a dark time!) when mothers were discouraged from working out of the home (and when it was economically possible to support a family (a large family!) on a single paycheck and 40 to 44 hours salary.
and i came from a culture that valued education --and reading,and the arts. (it was a struggle for my parents to afford school tuition.. my father brown bagged his lunch, and took a thermos of tea to work (so he didn't have to buy a cup of take out) all so the family could afford the schools.
this kind of commitment to schooling is factor--
in the 1950's things were different.. (in good ways, and in bad ways, too!)
and there was an element of luck.. my parents moved to a neighborhood they could afford.. and the neighboord catholic parish school waa lucky enough to have a Teaching order (and well educated nuns)
(not all nuns who are teachers are well educated..most states do not require parochial school teachers to meet the same standards as public school teachers!--and many a catholic school nun has no more than a HS education!)
and (getting border line political) there was a different attitude about schools and schooling (and none of this "zero tolerance crap' that expects a level of perfection from kids that adults couldn't meet!)
There is change too, in teachers.
when i was a kid, teaching, like nursing (and even being a doctor or lawyer) was considered (or at least presented to us) as a vocation.. something you were called to. not a job, but a way of life.
there were other vocations (religious life was one vocation we were always stressed to consider!) --some people had jobs, but lucky people had a calling .
and this didn't mean forgoing financial rewards (no one thought doctors were poor!) but it was a different attitude.
many of my teachers were nuns, but not all of them.. and some were quite well off, but taught because it filled a need in them. (the art teacher came to our school in a car with a driver! she didn't have to teach.. she wanted to--
that idea, that you would teach for the love of teaching, for the love of your subject, for the love of children was a factor.
I know there are still teacher out there who teach because they too, have a vocation. (god knows they don't chose to teach to get rich!) but for many, (or so it seems) it is a good civil service job.. good hours, summers off...good pension. (a very different set of reasons to become a teacher.)
(my ex became a teacher (in 'title 1" schools as a way to avoid the draft. he was a good teacher.. but it was a job for him. (and he couldn't wait to quit!)_________________________

Thank you VERY much for that. I ran across a problem with the word "dissolve" last week. The source I'm using now indicates that "solv" is the root, meaning "loosen", and "dis" is the prefix, meaning "opposite". Of course that makes no sense. My Webster's Collegiate Dictionaries at school do not list any but the one meaning for that prefix. Interestingly, my home copy has all six meanings.
Anyway, I recognized a need for an authoritative and thorough list. This certainly fits that bill. Thank you!_________________________

You're welcome. Glad I could help. (LOL, I just noticed it was a spelling bee company which makes sense.) The prefix dis-, like many in Latin and other inflected languages, has many meanings. In this case, it's one of separation._________________________

National Guard farm team heads to Afghanistan
Members will teach Afghani farmers more efficient farming methods
About a dozen members of a Wisconsin National Guard agriculture team are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.
The Guard's 97th Agribusiness Development Team will be sent off in style Thursday morning. Gov. Scott Walker and other Wisconsin National Guard leaders will join family and friends in saying goodbye at a ceremony in Madison.
The team will replace Wisconsin's first agribusiness-development team in Afghanistan's Kunar Province.
The agriculture teams teach Afghani farmers how to farm and herd more effectively. The goal is to expand agribusiness, create jobs and reduce poverty.
The 97th team will get a few weeks of mobilization training in Camp Atterbury, Ind., before heading overseas.
