It was great fun to be in a home with three delightful children under six years old! We read to them and enjoyed them thoroughly
Arriving in Cottage Grove, we followed the advice that several people had given us to stop in at a bookstore called the Bookmine, not only because was it a delightful store, but because of the sisters who owned it, Birdy and Gail, who are peace activists in town. The sisters were most welcoming, immediately offering coffee and cookies, and we felt like we were old friends. This encounter reminded us of how much Oregon and Vermont seem to have in common, culturally and politically. Gail kept joking that people sometimes think that both states should secede from the Union and form a separate republic. A customer, David, came in and was introduced, and the conversation expanded even more. They all urged us to walk the "rails-to-trails" bike path out to our next hosts, about 5 miles away, which we did, and we were so happy to be off the narrow-shouldered roads for a while
The path offered beautiful views of mountains, forests, pastures, and wetlands, so it was all the more jarring as we came into sight of a recent large clear-cut that had denuded an entire mountainside of second-growth trees. Many trucks loaded with logs from these kinds of tall, slender evergreens have passed us on the road during our journey, so we appreciate how important logging is to the Northwest's economy. But we can't appreciate the use of such a crude method of harvesting, which increases erosion and flooding, leading to degraded streams and lowered water tables. (However, a QEW supporter, Al Geiger, a retired Florida tree farmer, once reminded us that small clear-cuts create ecological edges that can improve an area's biodiversity. In comparison, much conventional field agriculture, with its emphasis on monocropping, tends to depress biodiversity, he pointed out.)
Our next hosts, Pat and Owen Wright, were not originally part of the itinerary. Our contact folks had not been able to find hospitality in Cottage Grove, but Pat had come to our Monday night presentation in Eugene, and while talking with Sakre happened to mention that she lived in Cottage Grove and would be happy to host us. They belong to the Church of the Bretheren, and so we took advantage of our time with them to learn more about their beliefs and practices
We were impressed to learn that the Wrights' church in Springfield (near to Eugene) is very active in helping homeless people and also hosts a "Fair Trade" store! Pat and Owen also care about the feral cats around their barn and had just taken one into a veterinarian to be spayed. They said people often just dump animals along the road near their property. One time they found a litter of domesticated rats! We appreciated their giving us a ride to our next walking spot, skirting a long section where we were told there were no services or opportunities for camping or being hosted.
As we have walked along we have often discussed the condition of "the Cart," a converted two-wheel golf-bag carrier that we depend on for transporting our heavier gear. We started joking that since it served as a kind of "pack mule," it deserved a name
We spent a night in a hotel in Sutherlin the next night
The Hadleys recently had built a home that is energy efficient, and they manage the land ecologically and grow much of their own fruits and vegetables. Their shelves filled with jars of home-canned food was most impressive. Elee's mom, Eleanor Pugh, who lives with them, is an avid birder and has recorded CDs with Northwest bird songs and calls and one CD for learning how to identify birds by sound. Lately she has taken up nature photography, and we were impressed by the quality of her many digital photos of dragonflies. We again found ourselves feeling we were with old friends and kindred spirits. A unique revelation while visiting the Hadleys was to find that Neal is a distant relative of John Woolman', according to a family tree that lists John Woolman's grandfather
We had been invited to speak to the Roseburg Unitarian-Universalist Church on Sunday morning. They hosted a waffle breakfast in our honor, where we shared some parts of our journey and fielded questions. We then gave a short inspirational message in conjunction with the lighting of the peace and social concerns candle. We each spoke about five minutes. It was wonderful to be with people who were aware of the crises in our world and who were active in helping to bring about change.
The afternoon and evening were dedicated to Friends worship, our presentation, a potluck, and live music (in that order) in the Hadley home. The gathering was energizing and inspirational, with great food and lively music. We were sorry that it ended early, but we had had a long day and needed some down time. Part of the route farther south was deemed too dangerous for walking, at least by Elee's standards, and so we had a longer than usual break of several days at the Hadley house while waiting to be driven to Wolf Creek for our next scheduled stop. We spent much of that time working on the blog and catching up on correspondence
At Wolf Creek we met Elee's long-time friend, Boyd Peters, and her brother, Len Pugh. We spent a couple of hours at Boyd's creatively hand-built house and then said our goodbyes and thanks to Elee. Boyd then gave us and Len a ride to "Lichen," an intentional community co-founded by Elee and Len's parents in 1971. On the way, Boyd pointed out several "old growth islands" that surrounded the valley. We had never head this term before, but that is exactly what the remaining old growth forest are, islands of large old trees in the midst of logged areas that were by-passed for one reason or another. Boyd and Len have been active in trying to preserve these "islands."
Lichen is a community on about 130 acres of mainly forested land. The homes and community building are very rustic and designed to each individual's unique tastes, needs, and financial limitations. Len, for instance, lives in a yurt that is about 320 square feet. Apparently not many have hot running water, but most use the shower in the community house, called the Landing. There's one outhouse per home, and the ones we saw had three walls and no door. The upside is that you got to see the beautiful scenery when using the toilet
Although Lichen began with a vision of an intentional community, over the past several years it has become more a loose association of residents who share meals infrequently. They still share work in the garden and on the land. Our night there included a delicious meal at Len's and a rather cold night in a small room in the Landing, which was not well insulated. The wood that was available for our wood heater was not totally dry and therefore it didn't burn very hot. We were warm enough in our down sleeping bags but had to endure nippy walks to outhouse during the night. It was another adventure to write home about!
This experience moved us to reflect a bit on the kind of simplicity we seem to be encouraging. Are we asking Friends to consider living in yurts like Len (who incidentally prefers to live without a car and is happy to walk 3-1/2 miles to the nearest town for supplies)? Are we asking Friends to consider working at home the way Len and others in the valley do to earn money through cottage industries? Are we asking Friends to consider living without running water or indoor plumbing? We think not
We are encouraging Friends to consider scaling back some of their busyness and unnecessary consumption if they see that such things are getting in the way of true happiness and fulfillment and right relationship with the rest of Creation. We personally want to have hot running water, but wouldn't mind a composting toilet as a way of recycling most wastes back to the soil. We'd like to use our car less and are willing and able to walk or bike the five miles to our nearest market more often. We like beauty in our life and hope that will continue to be part of it. But the bottom line is this: What is it that we all need to do in various ways and capacities to assure that the planet is habitable for all members of the family of life and for future generations?
The next morning Boyd picked us up to give us a ride to the town of Hugo. Once again we accepted a car ride, since the route to Hugo was said to be rather dangerous and strenuous. We then began our walk to the town of Grants Pass. Reporters from the local newspaper caught up with us along the way and interviewed us. (We hope to make a scrapbook of the new reports to share with you some day.) The morning was very cold, possibly in the upper twenties, but as we walked along briskly we warmed up considerably.
In the afternoon we arrived at the home of Scott Smith and Annaliese Watson of South Mountain Friends Meeting, where we were warmly greeted by them and their dog. We did our usual short visit and asked to be excused to take a nap
After a hearty breakfast, we headed out for Gold Hill, 16 miles away. One mile down the road we paused to celebrate the fact that we had just passed our 500-mile mark! We whooped and hollared and Scott took our photo to memorialize the special moment. This day's walk was along the Rogue River, a beautiful setting with many small farms and homes and resorts with scenic views of the river. As we came close to our planned lunch break, two smiling people in a small green Prius drove by us, turned around and passed us again, then parked in a driveway ahead of us
Lise and Ogden ate lunch with us in the town of Rogue River and then drove back home, where we would end up eventually that evening. The landscape had changed considerably as we traveled south through Oregon. We were now in a bioregion that was closer to what most of us picture when we talk about the "Old West," with ranches and drier, more open landscape. However, this was now the "New West," and much of the open spaces had been taken over by country homes (many of them luxurious) and many pastures were replaced by paddocks for pleasure-riding horses. Also, we saw many acres of vineyards, as Oregon continues to increase in importance as a wine producer. The ranch where Ogden and Marjorie had lived since the early fifties was developed in the late 19th century and continues to be a bona fide, albeit small, cattle operation
Lise was a former student of the Quaker school. She works a 65-acre farm with her sister and mother. Her role is to work the Belgian horses, and her way of telling about the relationship with the horses and the land was very moving. We saw pictures of her equine "partners" and wished that we could have visited her farrm when we were passing through Eugene. We did have a sampling of the farm cheese that is her sister's specialty and it was delicious. They raise pigs, chickens, and dairy cows and grow vegetables their land. They also are host to a growing number of visitors, including school groups and aspiring farmers who are interested in sustainable agriculture. In fact there's a woman who is appreticing for a year to learn to work with draft horses.
That evening we went to a neighbor's house for dinner. Ron and Keiko Miyamoto had recently rennovated their old home to moderinize it and incorporate many energy-efficient features
In the morning Ogden walked the four miles into Gold Hill, where we had lunch at a favorite cafe of his. Lise drove down later to pick up Ogden, and we then said our goodbyes to these two remarkable people. We had eight more miles to walk to our next host home in Central Point. These were the last miles walking in Oregon, through very scenic, rolling hills, with views of distant snow-covered mountains. It was mostly uphill, which was more tiring, and as the day grew warmer we shed extra layers of clothing which we hadn't been able to do until now. This was hopefully a preview of days to come in California.
We arrived at the home of Chloe and Clarence Wood feeling excited about our recent milestones. Chloe is a participant with the South Mountain Friends Meeting. The Woods have been small-scale farmers for many years and Clarence is a Master Gardener. We enjoyed getting to know them and found lots to talk about. As we learned of Chloe's path to Friends, we heard a story of a search, some detours, and then finding "home." It was so familiar! We were well fed with some of the bounty of their garden and apple trees and are feeling so appreciative of all the good care from the Friends of Oregon.
In the morning, Chloe gave us ride to Meeting in Ashland. (We had learned earlier from Ogden that many years ago he and Marjorie had purchased the building in Ashland which houses the South Mountain Friends Meeting, as well as a peace organization.) There Ruah reconnected with Jean Semrau, our Ashland contact, who had once been a member of New England Yearly Meeting and director of Woolman Hill Conference Center in western Massachusetts. It was a great fun getting reacquainted and meeting some other former New Englanders as well. After worship, we had lunch at the home of Bill and Melody Ashworth. They have been long-time environmental activists, and Bill has written a number of books on a variety of environmental issues. As you can imagine, we had lots to talk about with them. We will be reviewing one of Bill's books for a future BeFriending Creation.
We had the great fortune of getting to stay in a bed & breakfast that is run by Ashland Friends Deedie and David Runkel. It is in the Ashland Historic District and was built in 1908 as a boarding house. The Runkels gifted us the two nights in a lovely, quiet room in this charming place. As we came to know them we learned that they are working hard to make this an environmentally friendly business. (Louis helped out by replacing some missing weather-stripping on one of their outside doors.) They offer local organic foods and hang the laundry on a line, use compact fluorescent bulbs everywhere they can, and are alert to new ways to green things up. They had been very active in Washington D.C. before moving to Ashland and proved to be extremely interesting folks. As usual, we had mutual Friendly acquaintances. If you're interested, information about their bed & breakfast can be found at www.ashlandbandb.com. As we settled in, it began to snow significantly! By snow's end the next day 11 inches had fallen. This was described by everybody as very unusual weather for Ashland. We have really lucked out during our walking to not be caught in any major storms so far and this continued since we would be staying for two days in Ashland.
Due to the storm, the evening's presentation was less well attended than originally projected. Many who said they would see us that evening were snowed in at home. The smaller group, though, was very enthusiastic, and the discussion was meaningful and deep. We spent the next day running a few necessary errands and enjoyed the town.
Early the next morning we got a ride to the Greyhound bus station from Jack Wendt, a participant of the Friends Meeting. We had first planned on taking a 2 p.m. bus to Redding, Calif., but due to pending storms and a high mountain pass in the Siskiyou Mountain Range that is often closed down by heavy snows, we decided to take the 6:15 a.m. bus to increase the odds that the road would be clear enough to get us there in time for our evening's presentation. We again lucked out and crossed the pass in in the snow shortly before it was shut down. We gave a quiet whoop and hollar as we read a sign saying we had crossed the California state line. Once in Redding, we were picked up by Sue Morehouse, our next host. As has happened many times, we found much in common with Sue and her husband, Tom. They took us to the "Sundial Bridge" (for pedestrians) that spans the Sacramento River. Our photos tell the story.
The evening's potluck was hosted in Sue and Tom's home, and then we headed out to the Methodist church for the presentation. The small Redding Monthly Meeting (8 members) meets in a room at the Methodist church. The participants this night were Friends, friends of Friends, and Methodists. We had a lively discussion following the presentation and some delicious homemade cookies as well.
A few reflections on Oregon are in order as we leave. We have noticed that almost all homes have electric cook stoves, and many homes are all-electric. Because of the large amount of electricity from hydroelectric dams which started many years ago, electricity was cheaper in Oregon than in many other places in the country. But the dams killed off the salmon (a problem that many people are working to rectify) and the supply can't keep up with the growing demand. Now some of their electricity comes from nuclear and coal.
In an earlier blog we reflected on a number of similarities we saw between Oregon and Vermont. But the weather wasn't one of them. Northwest winters are mostly rainy, and the summers are very dry--too much of an extreme for our liking. Spring comes a whole lot earlier in the Northwest, too. One January evening at the Hadleys' house we heard tree frogs peeping, and we have also seen wildflowers popping up on south-facing slopes. We also heard people talking about harvesting asparagus in the next few weeks. Only the snowstorm that struck Ashland just before we left the state was able to convince us it was still winter.
In looking at a relief map of Oregon in someone's home, we were impressed that most Oregonians live in a relatively narrow green strip on the western third of the state, and remainder to the east of the Cascade Range is mostly high desert. Crater Lake is one of its premier attractions, but alas, our route didn't take us close enough to enjoy that natural wonder first-hand.
In an earlier blog, we reported the large amount of roadside litter we saw in Washington, which we attributed to that state's lack of a bottle-deposit system. When we got to Oregon, which has a beverage deposit like Vermont's, we noticed that the roadsides were much cleaner. But it would be a sad commentary if all we could conclude from this is that people seem to respond more to economic incentives than to "Keep America Beautiful" slogans. We would like to believe that people can also learn to act responsibly from a deep sense of personal kinship with all of Creation. At this point, perhaps we should look at litter-free roadsides and participation in recycling programs as signs that people are beginning to care not only about beautry but about a lot of other interrelated things. If global warming is THE issue of our time, we need to be able to see how a host of activities, including recycling, can affect the outcome.
Tomorrow morning we begin walking in California. We can hardly believe we're here. We are hoping for warmer rain and more sunny days. We look forward to more camping between host homes (instead of costly hotels). We look forward to all the new people we'll be meeting in the coming three months.

Ortega Vows to Work with Castro, Chavez
MANAGUA, NICARAGUA -- Daniel Ortega, who spent the 1980s fighting a U.S.-backed insurgency, said in his presidential victory speech Wednesday night that he would work closely with other leftist leaders in Latin America, while blasting U.S. Republicans and the Iraq war.
After spending the day in meetings aimed at calming critics shaken by his return to power, Ortega gave a rousing speech before a sea of supporters calling for increased trade with all countries, including the United States.
In a veiled reference to the U.S. warnings against his return to power, he said: "The sovereignty of Nicaragua has triumphed!"
He also said Americans had thrown Republicans out of Congress in elections Tuesday "because they are bent on maintaining a war that has been rejected by the entire world."
He has promised to fight for the rights of the poor, eradicate poverty and stay close to leftist leaders like Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
Ortega thanked his leftist "brothers" in Latin America, including U.S. foes Chavez and Castro.

Getting Serious About Security as a Service
Offering security as a service (SaaS) — such as managed access control — is an appealing and viable way for installing/monitoring providers to grow RMR. Yet many have yet to get onboard while others wrestle with how to effectively market, sell and manage it.
Jeremy Krinitt January 9, 2014
Many companies and institutions today are comfortable outsourcing a range of "noncore" services. Outsourcing various functions is especially attractive in today's lean environment in which corporations look to minimize head count and overhead costs. From E-mail to IT services to call centers and human resources, there is a higher comfort level than ever before with the idea of outsourcing. Why shouldn't electronic access control follow this trend?
Managed access control could be a useful service for many customers today. In managed access control systems, the solution may be as simple as the integrator hosting the server associated with the access control system. However, the integrator can often go beyond its typical role of installing (and often maintaining) the system to assume a more complete responsibility of managing and operating it on an ongoing basis. In effect, the end user partners with its trusted security integrator for the management of its access control operation to reduce upfront hardware costs and manpower requirements.
For a systems integrator, offering managed access control provides a new source of recurring monthly revenue (RMR), including a monthly system licensing fee (with a possible markup) and an additional monthly service fee to oversee the system. Adopting the managed access control model is another attractive way to expand your business and its valuation.
Advantages for Integrators
In a managed system scenario, the system's head-end is installed at an integrator's location or it could be based in the cloud; that is, hosted by a third-party datacenter. Using networking and Internet protocol (IP), access control readers and other hardware components installed at an end user's site can communicate with system head-end servers and other infrastructure.
Some other compelling reasons for integrators to embrace managed access as a new RMR source:
- Offers a new way for a dealer to differentiate itself in the market.
- Providing access control services on an ongoing basis ensures a tighter connection between an integrator and its customer. The integrator knows first-hand what's going on with the solution and can deal with problems proactively.
- Faster response and better service translate into a better, more long-term relationship with an ongoing customer. The integrator is top-of-mind when any new security project or challenge emerges.
- Better overall operation of the system. Having someone monitoring the system 24/7 means there is help at hand if the CEO's prox card doesn't work after hours.
Few Obstacles to the Sale
One element that makes managed access control possible is cloud-based networked systems. Access control in the cloud is similar to the parallel trend of using cloud-based systems for video surveillance. However, access control in the cloud is easier to implement and doesn't face the challenges of video systems related to bandwidth limitations.
Access control data takes up a much smaller share of the "data pipeline"; installing it requires less additional investment in infrastructure. Less use of bandwidth also means less scrutiny from a corporate IT department, which gets involved anytime a new system has a big impact on the network. In short, there are fewer obstacles to a sale and fewer objections from customers. Access control, therefore, lends itself more easily to cloud-based systems, which are an important enabler of managed access control.
Using the cloud also offers up the possibility of greater redundancy — backup sites can ensure continuous and secure operation. Geographic failover can reroute data to a new location if weather or other natural disaster were to impact a datacenter. Dependable system operation is a given. Integrators can provide a higher level of service by adding personnel to manage the system or to expand the functions provided by a monitoring center or central station.

First I wanna say congrats on beating us last season in the NFCCG. It was such a heart breaking loss and to be honest it has fueled some pretty hostile emotions towards your team, but nonetheless, I respect what you guys accomplished last season.I had this game circled the day the schedule came out and i'm pretty sure everyone within the 49ers organization did as well. With that said, let's talk about this weekends match-up!
The 49ers did something this weekend to the Buffalo Bills that no other team in the history of the NFL has ever done. Our passing attack and running attack was the epitome of balanced. We rushed AND passed for over 300 yards in a game which like I mentioned above has never been done. Alex Smith has come such a LONG way under coach of the year Jim Harbaugh. It's actually remarkable to see as a 49er fan just how far he's come. For those who know and understand the Alex Smith story it's hard not to root for a guy like him. I use to think Smith was nothing more than a game manager but so far this season he has changed my perception of himself. his accuracy has been amazing and his ability to NOT turn the ball over is something we just arent use to seeing from him. Smith is no longer the weak spot on our offense and to be honest we don't have many weak spots on our team at all. We have so much depth on both offense and defense in 2012. Lets look at some numbers.
The 49ers lead the league in rushing averaging nearly 200 yards a game (195.8). We are not a one trick pony with Frank Gore either. We have several guys who can run the rock. Gore of course is our main rusher but not many people know about Kendal Hunter. This kid is gonna be special when he gets his chance to be a starter. With a rushing attack like ours and a great defense it's hard for opposing teams to get any kind of rhythm going. As a unit on offense we are ranked 6th in total offense while averaging 29.8 points per contest. Of course the best thing about the 49ers is their relentless defense which ranks 2nd in the NFL behind only the Seattle Seahags. Nobody can run the ball on us (Vikings had some success against us which is very rare) but other than them over the last season and a half it's not easy gaining yards on the ground against the best front 7 in the NFL. The difference from last years defense to this years defense is our secondary. We are also 2nd in the NFL with passing yards allowed averaging ONLY 181 yards per contest. That is impressive considering we have played some pretty good QB's in A.Rodgers and M.Stafford.
All stats aside I am expecting this game to be a hard fought game that will come down to the wire! May the best team win and hopefully it's an injury free Sunday! Good luck guys.
9ers win 31-24

This is going to be a tall order to fill as any advice given on what leather IWB holster will fit two totally different guns is going to be speculation to some degree.
Typically, leather holsters are molded to the gun they are for. While there is some level of swap-ability between similar guns, say a P-10 and a 1911 Commander sized gun etc. Going from a 1911 to Ruger may or may not have the desired fit.
Unless you're looking at something like the NRA Slide Holster, there aren't too many leather "one size fits most" options.
What exactly is your budget?

Jane Fonda's attitude to fitness has softened as she has aged.
The actress-and-fitness pioneer discussed her latest project, a new yoga DVD entitled Jane Fonda: Prime Time AM/PM Yoga for Beginners, during an interview at Sirius XM Radio in New York City.
During the hour long question and answer session the iconic Hollywood star talks about her film career and movie roles as well as her work as an advocate for women's fitness.
Now aged 75, Fonda's exercise mantra has altered as she has grown older.
Her previous 'no pain, no gain' attitude has been replaced for a more relaxed attitude to working out.
"I used to be all about going for the pain," Fonda said.
"Not anymore. I'm not asking them to do anything too hard. I do them [the exercises] with older people in mind.
"I want it to be fun and easy for them, but effective."
The Barbarella actress looked chic and elegant in a black polo-neck and boot-cut black trousers that showed off her trim figure at the interview.
Adding a hint of star style to her simple look, Jane opted for an on trend Elsa Peretti silver cuff, diamond hoop earrings and a long silver necklace.
"I owe 30 per cent to genes, 30 per cent to good sex, 30 per cent because of sports and healthy lifestyle and for the remaining ten per cent, I have to thank my plastic surgeon," Fonda said about her stunning appearance.
Fonda admits that not every older person looks as good as she does and joked how she was "well aware of how 75 can look".
"Every single time I go to get out of a car now, I say 'Thank you, Lord, I have strong quads."'
"Because if I didn't have strong quads, I couldn't be independent. You have to keep your back and legs strong so you can remain free and independent," she said.
Fonda's new yoga DVD is more easygoing than her previous workout videos. It focuses on light stretches that will improve mobility, rather than tire out the user.

On a recent trip to Cumberland Farms for a coffee I was very surprised. A woman was very upset, and loud, because she could not use her welfare card to get a coffee. She wanted to see the manager. I thought the card was to be used for basics like REAL FOOD. And to think I work and go there because I can't afford a coffee from the other coffee shops.
�I will say this to Obama: Tax me more and I will close up shop and lay off my workers. because you classify me as rich I worked hard to get where I am. Maybe in your life time you can get a job and see how it is to work. You and your wife have lived off of government for so long you fail to realize how the world operates.
Karl Rove has said that the GOP need to back away from its platform of denial. Does that refer to the mounting evidence of climate change such as coastal waters on the eastern U.S. rising three times faster than the global average? The near 70 percent of Americans who now see climate change as a major issue. The rest of the global community that see's climate change happening now all around the planet.

Tech is part of the problem. The technical high schools used to be the place for many students that were "good with their hands" but struggled academically. They were trained well for a trade and often excelled there where they hadn't before. However, about 5-6 years ago now they started focusing their attention on top students and claiming to prepare students for college. And yet many who got good academic grades who even tried to go to NW Community College had to take remedial courses to begin at a college level. But admissions continued to become more competitive and they would only accept those students with good grades (often above the C average). The kid that could take apart a broken engine and but it back together working? That student is now out of luck.�
So now CIA director Petraeus resigns citing an affair. And then announces he will not testify to Congress on Benghazi. All right after the election. Did the Chicago politicians have the info about the affair and use it to get Petraeus out of the way and stop the testimony?

City councilman under fire for support of 'granny suites'
MISSOULA, Mont. - A Missoula City Councilman is taking fire for his support for zoning changes in the University District that would allow accessory dwelling units, also known as "granny suites."
The term "accessory dwelling unit" applies to basement apartments and backyard cottages that the property owner rents out.
Councilman Alex Taft said the city of Missoula needs more low cost housing, and he's leading an ordinance change proposal that would allow ADUs in single family neighborhoods in the University District.
The proposal has gotten Taft into hot water with some of his University District constituents. Several of them wore pins to the last city council meeting that said "recall Taft."
University District resident John Snively said he opposes ADUs because their neighborhood has a dense enough population as it is.
"I would rather not see these proliferate in the neighborhood," said Snively. "Because of the density, the parking problems that come with it, the care of the landscaping that comes with it, the lawns."
Taft says he believes ADUs offer the best solution to the vacancy rate problem. He points to ADUs in other surrounding neighborhoods as examples of how they add to the quality of the neighborhood.
"Give the property owner the option to use their property in a way that will expand the supply of housing in the community as a whole," said Taft. "As well as allow them to afford to buy a house, and use the additional income to offset a mortgage payment."
Even the residents against accessory dwelling units admit that meeting the legal requirements to recall Taft would be extremely difficult, but they are also working on a petition that would ban ADUs from the University District that is gaining some traction.
The city council takes up the subject again in a few weeks.

Breaking: Michael Yon arrested at Seattle airport
posted at 1:22 pm on January 5, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Thank goodness our Homeland Security people are on the job after the EunuchBomber botched attack on Christmas Day. We certainly don't want to have independent war correspondents passing through our airports without revealing their annual income:
Got arrested at the Seattle airport for refusing to say how much money I make. (The uniformed ones say I was not "arrested", but they definitely handcuffed me.) Their videos and audios should show that I was polite, but simply refused questions that had nothing to do with national security. Port authority police eventually came — they were professionals — and rescued me from the border bullies.
When they handcuffed me, I said that no country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates. No county has treated me with the disrespect can that can be expected from our border bullies.
Jazz Shaw wonders what the hell is going on:
Very strange. Even if you're into profiling, Yon would hardly fit one you'd be interested in. Of course, his passport, by now, doubtless has a list of countries stamped into it which could give an inspector pause, but that's no excuse. Very, very strange. I expect this one will be high profile enough that you'll see an apology coming from the government.
Unless there is more to this story, an apology would be the least owed to Yon. When an American citizen with a valid passport presents himself for travel, there should be some reasonable screening to verify identity and to determine whether there is a physical risk, ie, weapons and the like. Why should border security be interested in Yon's annual income? How does that relate to national security and border protection? Unless this is an arm of the Internal Revenue Service, it doesn't, and Yon was right to refuse to answer the question.
Instead of hassling American citizens about their income or watching the ice melt, how about paying attention to actual security and intelligence issues? Please?
Update: Media Matters wants to quibble over the use of the word "arrested," but when the cops slap handcuffs on you and detain you, you've been arrested, both literally (as in "motion stopped") and practically. Yon didn't get booked, or charged with any offense, as Yon himself notes.

Sorry to hear this. May he pass peacefully and may God give him eternal rest.
My wife's great uncle is near death at the Ft Thomas VA hospital across the river in Kentucky. Tom is 96 years old and settled in Cincinnati after the war. Tom is in a coma and is not expected to be with us much longer.I met Mr Tom Griffin around 1990 after marrying his great niece Amy Griffin.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Sorry to hear this. May he pass peacefully and may God give him eternal rest.
Sorry to hear this, my friend
We mourn the loss of each of these great men
On the Mil channel they did a show on these men
And I remember that they had said that one
Of them was shot down in Europe and was
Held as a POW
Go with God Mr. Griffin. You will not be forgotten nor will your actions have been in vain.
Semper Fi. I'll be there to relieve you from post at the Golden Gates.

May whoever your Supreme Being is watch over you and guide you to a better place.
If there ever was a symbolic mission, the doolittle raid was it. What a brave man! May he get the rest he deserves. My sincere condolences.

JC Penney To Close Outlet Stores, End Catalog Business
1 Of 19 Outlets Located At Fairgrounds Square Mall in Berks Co.
PLANO, Texas - J.C. Penney announced plans Monday to "wind down" its catalog business and close the company's 19 outlets across the country.
One of those outlets is located at the Fairgrounds Square Mall in Muhlenberg Township, Berks County. J.C. Penney converted the former department store at Fairgrounds to an outlet in 1999.
The company said the outlet closings will occur over the course of 2011 and 2012.
?It is always difficult to make decisions that impact our associates, and we are committed to treating them fairly," said Myron Ullman, chairman and CEO. "As we continue to position our company for the future, we determined that these steps are necessary to capitalize on the growth opportunities we see ahead while we ensure we are managing costs appropriately and continually enhancing the profitability of our operations.?
J.C. Penney spokesman Joey Thomas told 69 News the company is currently reviewing its options for the outlets that will be closing. He said those options may include selling the outlet business to another company, converting some to regular J.C. Penney stores, or closing them altogether.
Officials at the Fairgrounds Square Mall told 69 News they were unaware of J.C. Penney's decision prior to our initial phone call. They later said they had no comment on the announcement.
The Fairgrounds Square Mall expanded twice to add a pair of new anchor stores over the years, but both of those original stores have since closed.
Montgomery Ward shut its doors in 1999. Its location near center court is now occupied by the Burlington Coat Factory.
The space that once housed Phar-Mor is now home to Super Shoes and Planet Fitness.
Boscov's North has been one of the few mainstays since the Fairgrounds Square Mall opened in 1980. The store actually opened prior to the mall, which was built on the site of the former Reading Fairgrounds.
J.C. Penney will also close five of its department stores, one home store, and one of its three furniture outlets across the country.
J.C. Penney, which operates more than 1,100 department stores and employs more than 150,000 people throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, said it expects its actions will add about $25 to $30 million to its earnings in 2012.

New York City -- Consumer confidence in February shot up from last month to the highest level since a year ago, according to The Conference Board. The group's Consumer Confidence Index now stands at 70.8, up from a revised 61.5 in January, buoyed by consumers' more positive assessment of the job market.
"Consumers are considerably less pessimistic about current business and labor market conditions that they were in January," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center in a statement. "Despite further increases in gas prices, they are more optimistic about the short-term outlook for the economy, job prospects and their financial situation.
Consumers' assessment of current conditions was more favorable in February. Those claiming business conditions are "good" increased slightly to 13.3% from 13.2%, while those claiming business conditions are "bad" decreased to 31.2% from 38.3%.
Consumers' appraisal of the labor market was also less pessimistic. Those stating jobs are "plentiful" increased to 6.6% from 6.2% while those saying jobs are "hard to get" decreased to 38.7% from 43.3%.

Just got myself a brand new iPhone – the 3GS, an upgrade from the iPhone 3G, enjoying it so far – it's nice to have a fast iPhone again after the 3.0 software upgrade made everything reeeeeealy slow on my old 3G.
Jailbreak my new iPhone 3GS – blackra1n
Anyway, first job, of course, was to jailbreak the new phone. Last time I did it is was… well, it wasn't a chore, exactly. But it was a bit of pain, using the redsn0w tool from dev-team, on the PC, to modify the firmware update. BUT – brilliant news, an update to an older piece of software called blackra1n which also hacks the iPhone! I hadn't heard of it before but it appears that it's been around before for updating older versions of the firmware and I have to admit it was good to have an alternative!

Charles Johnson Late round/FA WR looks like a pretty talented kid for sure. sub 4.4 37 1/2 vert and a ton of production. Here is his highlight mix and there is his pro day highlights mixed in there too. What do you guys think about this kid?
I like some of the Rutgers WR's, that Harrison kid is like 6'3 built strong, broke through Blidi breh WIlson's tackles. Like Harrison in the 6th. .
Harrison could be a stud. I think he kind of suffered because at Rutgers they spread the ball out well and there wasn't really one guy who got the majority of the touches. I think if he was in a different system he could have excelled and probably would be drafted much earlier than he will in the draft. He has great size and good speed. Last year Sanu really took most of the touches away from everyone. He almost had as many catches himself as the rest of the team did. Harrison could be a steal and I think we realistically could pick him in the later rounds because of the fact that he went to Rutgers which is a close college and I am sure they have seen him play. Rutgers has quite a few people that I like in this years draft class!
Greene, Ryan, Harrison, MLB (Beauharnais? something like that) I think he could be a steal as well in the later rounds.

The symposium is now an annual event in New York, which Arianna Huffington co-hosted last year as well as its first year in 2010. The London partnership further strengthens ties between HuffPost and WIE.
This dynamic conference is designed to inspire and empower women by bringing together prominent leaders from politics, business, fashion, philanthropy, media, entertainment and the arts for a full day of lively panels, workshops, master-classes and an inspirational awards ceremony.
Speakers today included fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, Home Secretary Theresa May, fragrance creator Jo Malone, comedian Ruby Wax and handbag designer Anna Hindmarch.
HuffPost UK Editor-in-Chief Carla Buzasi chaired a lively session entitled Telling Women's Stories - Women in Film, TV, Media. The panel featured inspirational women including Celia Walden, journalist and novelist; Shohreh Aghdashloo, Oscar-nominated actress; Rosario Dawson, actress and philanthropist, and Hannah Pool, journalist and novelist. The session covered everything from boardroom quotas for women to their own experiences working in media, tips on how to succeed and female camaraderie to help all women succeed in their chosen fields.
The evening capped off with a cocktail reception and awards ceremony.

FACTORY CUSTOMIZED 2009 EDGE SPORT DEBUTS • Chicago Auto Show marks the debut for the 2009 Ford Edge Sport, providing a factory-quality, customized model to America's best-selling crossover.• The Edge Sport features standard 20- or optional 22-inch wheels, low-profile tires, exterior modifications and interior enhancements, lending it a dynamic look and feel. • 2009 Ford Edge Sport will be available this fall.CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2008 – Ford is providing still more sizzle for America's best-selling mid-size crossover, introducing a new factory-customized model – the 2009 Edge Sport."The new Ford Edge Sport is designed to instantly appeal to crossover customers who want a sportier custom look and feel," said John Felice, general manager, Ford Division. "This specialty design reflects the growing popularity of personalization and more customers' interest in industry shows like the annual Hot Import Nights around the country and the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas."The Sport model – which joins the SE, SEL and Limited models in the range – makes the Ford Edge the first vehicle in its segment to offer a customized model. Its modern, athletic design, flexible package and unique features like VistaRoof™ and SYNC helped sell 130,125 Edge units in 2007, making it the nation's top-selling crossover. The new Edge Sport model will further distinguish it from competitors. Edge Becomes Even SportierEdge Sport stands on even bolder, available 22-inch polished aluminum wheels or the standard 20-inch premium painted wheels with branded center hubs. Low-profile, 40-series Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires complete the look, giving Edge Sport an aggressive stance. This marks the first time that a 22-inch wheel-and-tire combination has been offered on a crossover. The eight-piece Edge Sport body kit includes a unique front air dam, side skirts, lower door caps and a rear skirt, all finished in body color, instead of the dark lower on other Edge models. The front air dam features integrated fog lamps and a lower grille insert. These elements combine with the unique wheels and tires to provide a sporty personality. Details, like custom Sport badging, polished dual exhaust tips emerging from openings in the rear skirt and "foundry gray" smoked headlamp and taillamp lenses, add to its purposeful look. In addition to lustrous Sport Blue paint on the model highlighted at the Chicago Auto Show, Edge Sport will be available in Ebony, Brilliant Silver and Redfire. Inside, dark gray leather seats feature unique suede-feel patterned inserts in a combination of light and dark gray. Contrasting, light gray stitching gives the seats a premium appeal. The contrasting stitched leather also is used on the Edge Sport steering wheel and shift knob.Edge Sport is further distinguished by an appealing etched metal effect on the instrument panel center console.Autoblog Article

I'd buy it, thing looks sweet. It's actually the only Ford I would buy, no I would not buy a Mustang.
------------2015 Mazda6
Looks great, but that is just a trim model more then a sports model. Put in the 3.7L V6 or the 4.6L V8 from the Stang and then we would be talking sport.
1997 Buick LeSabre 3.8L Auto 120,000miles2003 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Auto 90,000miles
The 4.6L would work with a true AWD system. Wow, THAT would be a wicked ride.
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
Why not put the EcoBoost in as a top SPORT edition engine and tune it to about 350HP. That would definitely help with the weight issues. Love this car.
By using the word Sport and just adding 22" rims, they are padding their bottom line only. Great marketing exercise. They should atleast include the 3.7 V6
Looks good, but it would be better if it actually went faster.
Supreme Emperor of the Testing Forum, CTS and Offshoreqa forums.
wow, it looks pretty nice. I was expecting something like the Funk Master Flex Expedition.
Too bad it doesn't have added performance to go with the slick looks.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
I know folks that will be interested in buying this set up are interested in the "Look" more than the usefullness of the thing, but. These are a wide, thinly treaded tire "for use in all weather conditions including occasional light snow." People expecting a good all year round tire will no doubt be saddened by the winter driving performance, and the fast wear (15,000 - 30,000 miles). Many will buy a 2nd set of wheels with winter tires on them, but then there's that "Look" thing again. This isn't just a Ford Edge thing - it's any car/truck with it's wheel wells overfilled with tires not in keeping with it's purpose.
The Edge is a mommymobile. It's a darn nice one and very good at what it does, mind you, but applying the name 'Sport' to it is just absurd.

what is up with all these double posts???
...........................................................got a gun, fact I got two...that's ok man, cuz I love god
slap a wedding dress on a pig, and it er...still a pig. This is the 1st time I've ever seen a Ford Edge look good. All of them look tacky, gawdy, and cheap to me. But this one is beauty. Subtle and understated a bit. Almost european with teh color scheme. I love it, but like the fusion sport, its just a dress up kit, no performance enhancements. But I'd buy one, because it looks so cool like this:
rcspkramp:Too bad it doesn't have added performance to go with the slick looks.Aaron M:Right, this is just another gimmick from FORD. I'd rate it as less of a gimmick than a $30k Mugen Civic with stock horsepower......as would any right-thinking person, I'd wager!

The Destination
Once known as the Circus Capital of the World, Delavan, Wisconsin, was the home base for more than 100 of the country's most famous circuses. That was the late 19th century. Today, this historic hamlet has replaced the big shoes but kept the big fun, with all the action revolving around Delavan Lake. With about 10,000 year-round residents, this peaceful town less than two hours from Chicago also plays host to a number of second summer homes, thanks to its rustic environment and its bounty of aquatic recreation.
The Digs
Delavan's top-rated hotel on TripAdvisor, Lake Lawn Resort is situated along more than two miles of scenic shoreline. Halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago, this woodsy resort has been a Delavan Lake destination since 1878, though after a recent renovation it's nothing if not contemporary. Each newly updated room still retains its rustic charm, with handcrafted wood furnishings and a cozy feel, while offering upscale amenities like deluxe 300-thread count sheets and spa-style bath products. They also come with a 32-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a private patio or balcony, most with lake or golf course views.
The Diversions
• Find renewal through mind, body, and soul at Calladora Spa, offering everything from massages and facials to hair and nail treatments
• Hit the links on the renowned Dick Nugent- designed championship 18-hole golf course
• Dine on wild mushroom fondue, jalapeño maple-glazed shrimp, and cherry wood-smoked baby back ribs at the elegant Frontier Restaurant, offering panoramic views of Delavan Lake
• Catch a drink and the Brewers game on the 50-inch flat-screen TV at the casual, family-friendly Fireside Lounge
• Set sail from the private marina, where you can rent a pontoon for a day of fishing and swimming
• Pamper yourself poolside (there are two to choose from on-site)

Starting Position: Holding the TRX handles or foot cradles in each hand, turn to kneel facing the anchor point with your legs hip width apart. Grasp the handles/cradles with a closed grip. Your thumbs should be wrapped around the handles with your palms facing the floor. Engage your abdominals and round your torso into a ball. Bend your elbows, bringing your hands close to your jaw. Your head is an extension of your spine.
Downward Phase: Engage the muscles of your core and back to support your spine and prepare your torso for movement. Inhale. With control, bring your hips forward, as your body swings forward under the anchor point. Try to keep the spine rounded. Do not allow your spine to straighten or your back to arch or sag. Keep your elbows in and hands adjacent to your face.
Upward Phase: Exhale and use your abdominals to draw the body back to your starting position. Do not to allow your arm or back position to change throughout the exercise.
Using the TRX certainly enhances the appeal of many exercises; however, trainers and individuals should not participate in these advanced exercises until they can demonstrate capability to effectively stabilize their lumber spine (low back) with their core muscles.

Coming 2008
In Darkest of Days, you get to experience some of the most varied gameplay ever released in one title. Things will never get stale as you travel to distant times, and fight alongside people from that time period. Fighting in Antietam (the bloodiest day of the American Civil War) feels much different than fighting on the side of the Russians at Tannenberg (where the Russians withstood 140,000 casualties in WW I).

Turntable Talk with Summer Altice: DJ Tina T
Playmate Summer Altice talks to DJ Tina T on what it's like for a woman to work in the industry.
Born and raised in Seattle, W.A., DJ Tina T headed out to Los Angeles after graduating from Washington State University. She made her first impression in Los Angeles by becoming a finalist in the DJ battle hosted by the number one hip-hop radio station Power 106 FM and the world-famous Big Boy in the Morning Show before taking home the gold in LA Weekly's first ever DJ Spin Off battle. After 13 years' experience, she is shattering the world of deejaying. Oh, and did I mention she was voted best female DJ in Las Vegas for the last three years? I am happy to introduce you to a female DJ I look up to…DJ Tina T.
Altice: When did you start deejaying?
Tina T: When I was 15.
Altice: Do you find it hard to be a woman in our business?
Tina T: I think there are a lot of double standards, as there are with most male-dominated industries. We have to carry ourselves differently in public and be much more aware of how we present ourselves to get respect. But overall, I don't think deejaying is any harder for a woman than a man. In fact, I think more doors are opened for women; we just need the skills to back it up.
Altice: What are some of your favorite gigs?
Tina T: F1 Racing, any Red Bull event and pretty much anything that is packed, with a crowd with tons of energy.
Altice: What equipment do you use?
Tina T: Two Technics 1200s, Rane TTM57 mixer, Serato with a Macbook Pro, Skullcandy or Pioneer headphones and a Shure M-447 needle. I also use Ableton to record mix CDs, make edits and remixes.
Altice: What do you have coming up?
Tina T: I'm leaving for Asia to deejay in Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore. I'm also excited to be living in NYC part-time for the winter. I have also started to work on Camp Spin Off 2013, which is a DJ summer camp for teenagers ages 13 to 17 that want to learn how to deejay and produce music in Ojai, C.A.
Altice: How has the digital age changed your life in regards to deejaying?
Tina T: My arms are not as buff from carrying crates of records to all of my gigs. I was forced to become a computer nerd and very tech savvy. Instead of digging in crates at the record store, I now spend my time clicking download every day, searching the internet and trading online.
Altice: Who are some of your favorite DJs?
Tina T: DJ AM, Mix Master Mike, DJ Craze, DJ Riz and Donald Glaude.
Altice: If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
Tina T: My single status.
DJ Tina T is holding down a residency every Friday night at Las Vegas' newest nightclub, Marquee in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. She is also preparing for the second year of her passion project, Camp Spin Off. Founded by Tina in 2010, it is the only sleepaway summer camp for young teens that inspires and teaches them how to deejay (www.campspinoff.com).
Be sure to catch her at a venue near you.

Join us to Bike the Math from Dublin/Pleasanton BART (8am) to Chevron Headquarters in San Ramon. Let's tell Chevron to stop fueling climate chaos and become a renewable energy company!
It's simple math: if we burn more than 565 gigatons of carbon dioxide, the planet will heat up more than 3.5°F. Even this increase will have profound effects — anything more risks catastrophe for life on earth. Fossil fuel corporations already have more than five times this amount in their reserves. And they're planning to burn it all and continue to look for more — unless we stop them.
CO2 + $$$ = Overheating Planet!
Pedal the Message to Chevron: Change Your Fossil-Foolish Ways!
Join 350 Bay Area, Amazon Watch, Communities for a Better Environment, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, West County Toxics Coalition and other groups in support of shareholders willing to speak out against Chevron's irresponsible business practice that is destroying communities around the world and destabilizing the planet's ecosystem.

Hi and welcome to the board! :o
I'm thinking you could start off using pre-cuts (jelly rolls, layer cakes) or fat quarters. If you use jelly rolls, the cutting is done for you and there are a lot of blocks to be made with 2 1/2" wide strips. Start with something easy (like a rail fence design or a 4 patch) and small (like a lap quilt or a baby quilt).
