High-End Look, Low-End Price
By simply adding a few creative accents, using old objects in new ways, or rearranging your belongings, you can easily revive your home's look.
Cut Corners
Go for quality, not brands. Dolese finds sturdy, high-quality wool blankets in earthy colors at the army-surplus store. A fine wool blanket can cost hundreds of dollars, but he gets his for $15.
Shop import stores for deals. Dolese often cuts out the expensive middleman by going directly to import shops for funky finds. Check online or local yellow pages for stores in your area.
Use high-end accents to dress up budget items. In his kitchen, Dolese installed inexpensive cabinets and an affordable laminate countertop, then spruced up the look with high-end cabinet and drawer handles.

I live on the Gulf coast and I'm always looking for something to tackle the effects of the humidity on my hair. This stuff is great! It keeps my waves soft and touchable, controls the frizz, and doesn't weigh down my hair. Also, a little product goes a long way. I will definately buy again!5
My hair has a tendency towards soft waves, which can look scraggly if left to dry without product. This cream (I use about a dime/nickel size for hair down to my mid back, and only on midshaft to ends!) keeps my waves sleek, and adds a bit of bounce ! a definite fave!4


text: NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BLACK ENTERPRISE (BE) has released its latest exclusive report on African American representation on the corporate boards of 250 of America's largest publicly traded companies today at BlackEnterprise.com. The media company identifies 177 African American directors at S&P 500 companies, including Starbucks, Walmart, ExxonMobil and Ralph Lauren, on the BLACK ENTERPRISE Registry of Corporate Directors. In addition, the report reveals 75 companies with no African American representation among their boards of directors. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130905/NY75253)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110627/NY26810LOGO) BLACK ENTERPRISE's report spotlights prominent African American directors including Ariel Investments L.L.C. President Mellody Hobson, who serves on the boards of The Estee Lauder Cos. Inc. and Starbucks Corp.; Darden Restaurants Chairman & CEO Clarence Otis, a director for Verizon Communications and VF Corp; and Gilead Sciences SVP and Chief Financial Officer Robin L. Washington, among others. The registry and report can be found at BlackEnterprise.com via the following link: http://www.BlackEnterprise.com/tag/black-corporate-directors/. The report, "Directing America's Largest Corporations," is also featured as the cover story in the latest issue of BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine. Social media content and conversation around African American directors on corporate boards can be find via the hash tag #BlacksOnBoards on Twitter and other social media sites. "Our report highlights the achievements of exemplary African American board members at our nation's largest corporations," says BLACK ENTERPRISE CEO Earl "Butch" Graves Jr. "They are among the guardians of shareholder value who are ensuring the continued viability of American industry, including trillions of dollars in assets and millions of managers, employees, suppliers and other corporate stakeholders." "It should be equally alarming to us that in 2013, 30% of the 250 largest corporations do not currently have a single African American director despite the fact that many of these companies enjoy tremendous market share from African American consumers," says Graves, who serves on the board of Memphis, Tenn.-based Auto Zone. "It is our duty to challenge those corporations and ask them why. As corporate directors and shareholders of our nation's largest companies, it is our collective responsibility to hold corporate America accountable and ensure that African Americans are never marginalized or overlooked." The registry is drawn from a universe of the 250 largest companies on the S&P 500 based on market capitalization as of June 14, 2013. BLACK ENTERPRISE compiled the listing by reviewing proxy statements and annual reports, as well as contacting investor relations departments, corporate governance experts, and organizations such as the Black Corporate Directors Conference and Executive Leadership Council (ELC); the latter is a network of the nation's most highly ranked African American corporate executives. BLACK ENTERPRISE reports that corporate boards have become less diverse over the past several years. According to a report from the Alliance of Board Diversity, in 2010 white men held 74.5% of board seats on the 500 largest publicly traded companies, versus 5.7% for African American men and 1.9% for African American women. By 2012, the percentage of African American male directors declined to 5.5%, while the percentage of African American female directors remained flat. White men continue to hold roughly 95% of board chair positions and 86% of lead director slots. "African Americans were the only group that experienced a decline [in board representation]," says Ronald C. Parker, president and CEO of the ELC, a member of the Alliance. "You have the recognition of other diverse groups out there—women, in particular, Latinos, Asians. Our database shows that from 2011 to 2012, there were 56 board seat openings—and most went to white women."

Barrington girls win Class B Championship
The Barrington High School girls indoor track and field team took home the Rhode Island Interscholastic League Class B Championship on Saturday, hosted by the Providence Career Technical Academy.
The Eagles racked up an impressive 91.5 points on the afternoon, beating second place South Kingstown by more than 42 points.
Barrington seized control in the first race of the afternoon, when junior Abby Livingston made up a sizable gap in the final lap of 4x800-meter relay to edge out second place Westerly by less than a quarter of a second, 10 minutes and 8.7 seconds to 10:08.9. Livingston would also finish second in the 600 meter race, as well as anchor the Eagles' 4x400-meter team to a second place finish.
Barrington senior Alice Burgess finished second in the 3,000-meter race with a time of 10:56, while her teammates, junior Julianna Portell and senior Laura Marshall, took third and fourth, respectively.
The 1500-meter race would be all Barrington, as junior Mary Kate Coogan finished in first place in 4 minutes 43 seconds, while fellow juniors Megan Verner-Crist and Kelsey Maxwell placed fourth and fifth for the Eagles. Coogan and Verner-Crist also scored in the 1,000 meter race as well, finishing second and fourth, respectively.
Another win for Barrington would come in the 55-meter hurdles, in which senior Shenelle Teixeria won with a time of 8.89 seconds, while junior teammate Madison Smith finished fifth.
The 600-meter race proved to be one for the record books, as Barrington's Livingston and BayView Academy senior Erica Johnson battled it out to the final stride; Johnson won the race with a time of 1 minute 35.7 seconds to Livingston's 1:37.0. Both girls, however, broke the previous meet record of 1:37.4 that Johnson set as a sophomore in 2011.
Barrington would take second in the 4x400 with a time of 4:22. The Eagles will now gear up for the Rhode Island State Championships, which takes place at PCTA on Saturday, Feb. 16.

Teen injured in parasailing accident arrives in Indianapolis
An Indiana teenager seriously injured in a parasailing accident has arrived in Indianapolis to continue her rehabilitation.
Alexis Fairchild was admitted to the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana Thursday evening after traveling from Panama City, Fla. with her family. Fairchild was released from a Florida hospital Thursday morning.
The teen and a friend, Sidney Good, both of Huntington, Ind., were injured when a tow rope broke free on a parasail in Panama City July 1. The pair drifted, striking the side of a condominium, power lines and landing in a parking lot, slamming into a car below.
Good continues to recover from her injuries in the Panama City hospital where Fairchild had been staying.
"We were hoping to start rehab today with Sidney. This is not going to happen. Doctors came last night and said that Sidney needs additional surgery on her head, face and sinus cavity," a family member tweeted Thursday evening. "They will be working to transfer her soon to another facility. She is still critical and we thank God she is making progress in the right direction."
Fairchild's father, Michael, declined comment as his family entered the Indianapolis hospital Thursday evening. A security guard told Eyewitness News the check-in process for any patient is lengthy and can take four hours.
The father and daughter left Florida Thursday morning and set off on the 11 hour drive.
Fairchild will spend the next several weeks at RHI in therapy.
"She'll probably be spending probably a week or two there for inpatient and she'll be spending a little time on outpatient, but overall, I'd say for what she's been through her spirits are pretty good," said Michael Fairchild at a news conference Wednesday night.
Suggested Links
Fairchild has made strides in her recovery sooner than expected, allowing her to come home to Indiana for the remainder or her rehab.
"Even the doctors say that with the injury, it's surprising that's she's out walking as soon as she is," Fairchild said of his daughter's recovery.
While both women continue to recover, their friends in Indiana held a fundraiser to help the women during the process.

Dayton seeks individual assistance for flood victims
ST. PAUL — Gov. Mark Dayton sent a letter to President Barack Obama requesting individual assistance for residents of Aitkin, Carlton, Crow Wing, Lake, Pine and St. Louis counties as well as the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa following severe storms and flooding that impacted the area in June.
Gov. Dayton made the request after a week-long damage assessment by teams from FEMA and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM). The teams surveyed more than 11-hundred homes and found, based on FEMA classifications, 17 destroyed, 154 with major damage, 419 with minor damage and 479 affected.
Dayton requested Individuals and Households Program, Disaster Unemployment Assistance, Disaster Case Management, Disaster Legal Services and Crisis Counseling. The Individual and Households Program provides money and services to people in the disaster area when losses are not covered by insurance and property has been damaged or destroyed. This request includes programs available through the Small Business Administration (SBA).
In his letter to the president, Dayton said "severe storms and flooding caused damage of historic proportions to many areas of the state. In northeastern Minnesota, the 500-year flood event caused by two-day rainfall amounts in excess of 10 inches resulted in severe flash flooding across the region. A flood warning remains in effect for Aitkin County, where the Mississippi River is still above flood stage."

[Censorship of the motion pictures "Le Ronde" and "M"]
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Seldes discusses the Supreme Court ruling regarding the censorship of "Le Ronde" and "M." They found that state censorship boards could not ban the movies based on the argument that they were immoral. He criticizes another person who argued that trying to define immoral is like trying to define red. Seldes believes that you can define "red," because it is what most people agree is red. The ethical difficulties of defining morality is more difficult - it varies between individuals and changes over time.
Seldes notes the return of Elmer Davis to the air - a short television show and a radio program. He mentions Davis' book "But We Were Born Free" and his discussion of freedom of the press. He discusses the role of the journalist in the interpretation of news. What is the obligation of a news organization to print possibly slanderous allegations. He notes the "shirt tails" of stories, which may be salacious and irrelevant. The old standard of purely factual journalism is no longer enough. He discusses Davis' dislike of ex-radicals, who now are acting intellectuals of society.

Hi I'm a college student lookin for a small car that gives good mpg and won't cost an arm and leg to operate.
I've been looking at corollas and Camry but having to drive my dads a6 I want something with similar feelings and the Japanese lack that.
I'm wanting to get a beetle and was wondering what are some common issues between the 2.0 and 1.8?
Which would be more reliable? As a college student I do not have lots of money to spend on repairs.
I'm looking into getting a manual so of that tranny has any problems let me know. Like the 6 speeds in the a6 are pretty solids but they have some issues with syncros and 1st and 2nd collars. Anything like that in the 5 speed?
What should I look out for when buying one?
I've seen the mpg online and it seems the 1.8 give better mpg than the 2.0 and has more power so I would prefer that.
On the 1.8 I thing I really need to know is if this 1.8 is the same as the one on passats which have sludge issues. Would that be something I would have to look out for? I've read some articles that say the sludge was only on a4 Jetta and passats and NOT the beetle?

Background. Although thrombolytic therapy has been shown to be beneficial to stroke patients, the effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients with ventricle myxoma is unknown. Case Description. A 22-year-old woman with left hemiplegia was sent to the emergency department at a teaching hospital. The magnetic resonance angiography showed occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery, and the echocardiography showed a mass in the left ventricle. Intravenous recombined tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) was administrated, and the postthrombolysis transcranial Doppler exam showed that her right middle cerebral artery was circulative. The patient's condition improved gradually, and no complication was observed up to 16 months of follow-up. Conclusion. Intravenous rt-PA is a reasonable treatment for stroke patients with ventricle myxoma.

Ishrat encounter case: HC hands over chargesheet to the accused
Accused officers GL Singhal, Tarun Bharot and JG Parmar appeared in court and the chargesheet was handed over to them.
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Hight Court has handed over the chargesheet to the accused in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case on Monday. In its chargesheet, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has maintained that the 19-year-old was killed in a fake encounter in a joint operation between Gujarat Police and the Intelligence Bureau.
Accused officers GL Singhal, Tarun Bharot and JG Parmar appeared in court and the chargesheet was handed over to them. One of the accused senior IPS officers, PP Pandey, though remains absconding. The CBI had filed the chargesheet on July 3 against seven policemen in the encounter case.
The CBI has handed over the chargesheet to the court but remained silent on whether Ishrat was a terrorist or not. The chargesheet claimed that eight Gujarat top policemen including ADGP PP Pandey, DG Vanzara, GL Singhal and five others were part of the murder and abduction conspiracy. However, Chief Minister Narendra Modi and his close aide Home Minister Amit Shah has not been named in the chargesheet. IB officer Rajinder Kumar, too, has not been named in the chargesheet as accused.
According to the CBI chargesheet, Ishrat Jahan and three others were kept in illegal confinement, put on tranquilizer before they were killed in cold blood on June 15, 2004.
Senior IPS officer DG Vanzara and other Gujarat police officers collected weapons from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) office and then planted them on Ishrat and others. The chargesheet said on Vanzara's instructions, suspended IPS officer GL Singhal went to the IB office on June 14 and collected a bag of weapons used in the encounter.
According to the CBI, IB officer Rajinder Kumar was heading state investigation bureau during the period when the encounter was carried out.
Gujarat Police officers were deployed in different places in the name of nakabandi (pickets) in Ahmedabad to manage the encounter, the chargesheet said. Charges of murder, kidnapping and illegal confinement against eight Gujarat Police officers including Vanzara have been slapped by the CBI.
The CBI chargesheet also said that Kumar and Pandey interacted with Ishrat and Javed at Khodiyar farm a few days before the encounter which conclusively proves that she was abducted by Gujarat Police officers NK Amin and Tarun Barot from Vasad toll booth.

'Cause it's my birthday! Today I turn 4. Yay! Four years old.
Actually, it's a bit of sarcasm on the "yay" portion since we can
live quite a long time (oldest living cat was 31 by the way).
It'd be cool to live for 30 years. Older, wiser, handsomer.....
....That's me.
When you enter uncharted ground, in my case aka "Kiara's Den".
I went times before, never been this close before 52 pounds of
lioness-like husky diving for you. I swear....wolf in sheeps clothing?
How about lioness in husky clothing.
She went to agility practice again and I'm snooping around.
Her den is a big, fluffy pink and royal-purple bed with a pillow
to rest her head on and....what's this? I knew it. She's been hiding
greenies again. Snack hoarder. I will now say that I'm not taking
the fat jokes back, hee-hee.
*a shadow of Kiara looms behind*
~Don't worry, I'm fine. I ran away anyway :)
Easier said than done, Now how am I gonna devise a plan for
luring a 50 pound demoness of a husky out the door.....that is
what I'll have to looketh on.
That cat knows what he (or she) is doing. But that's a doggie
door and we have nothing like that. And given my standing
to Lady Kiara, I'm nothing but her Fool. Her flunkie. I guess
if I can't evict her, I'll just learn to live with her (like I did for the
past 3 months). C'mon foolin a husky is no easy task.
Have you ever tried fooling some demoness to do your bidding?
Oh yeah, like the sirens' alluring song, you're the fool.
Never trust a she-devil canine. They're nothing but trouble.
With that being said, I have some toyish prey to chase.

Sessions are underway for the first auction experiment of my NIFA-funded research on conservation auctions.
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Fordham University. During my graduate studies at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, where I was a trainee in the NSF-funded IGERT Economics and Environmental Sciences program, I began to explore the ability with which policy mechanisms can increase the provision of environmental public goods. As a research fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, I was a principal developer of InVEST, a software package aimed at providing information to policy-makers about the tradeoffs associated with resource-use decisions, with a focus on ecosystem services.
My primary research interests relate to the provision of environmental public goods. Using techniques from applied microeconomics and experimental economics, my research explores the outcomes of voluntary and governmental programs aimed at achieving more efficient levels of environmental public good provision. I have explored such programs in the context of carbon offsets, charitable giving to conservation organizations, green energy programs, and payments for ecosystem services. I am quite interested in land-use decisions, and while at Stanford University, where I contributed to the Natural Capital Project, I led projects focused on this issue for the United States Department of Defense, the State Legislature of Hawai'i, and provincial governments in Indonesia.
The following chapters all appear in Natural Capital: Theory and Practice of Mapping Ecosystem Services, edited by G. Daily, P. Kareiva, T. Ricketts, H. Tallis, and S. Polasky. Oxford University Press. 2011.

TIP In OS X 10.5, Apple added the ability to share individual folders to the Sharing preference panel. However, one needs to be aware of permission problems when attempting to share a particular folder. This example illustrates this problem:
Create folder ABC in ~/Documents.
Press C-I and check the Shared Folder checkbox.
Click on the Enable button to enable file sharing.
Go to the Sharing panel in System Preferences and click on the File Sharing item.
Click on the Options button and enable SMB sharing by checking the Share Files and Folders using SMB checkbox (there is no need to enable SMB sharing of accounts, as we will see later).
By this step, you would expect to see folder ABC under your computer's name in Network Neighbourhood in Windows, but it's not there.
In fact, you can't even access the share by mapping \computernameABC. However, if you move folder ABC to ~/Public and share it again by unchecking and then checking the Shared Folder checkbox, then ABC will become visible.
This behaviour can be explained by the fact that ~/Documents has the permission rwx------, which means other users can't browse the contents of that folder. On the other hand, ~/Public has the permission rwxr-xr-x, which allows browsing of the folder content by any user. So in order to successfully share a folder, not only do you have to make sure it's accessible to other users, you also have to make sure its parent folder can be browsed by other users.
Another interesting thing to note is that SMB sharing for a user account is independent of individual folder sharing.
Enabling it will share the home folder of the enabled account as it did in Tiger, but it's not necessary for sharing individual folders (so you no longer have to store your password in a less secure way when you enable SMB sharing).

Never are men's hearts in such a hopeless condition, as when they are not sensible of their own sins. He that would not make shipwreck on this rock, must beware of measuring himself by his neighbors. What does it signify that we are more moral than other men? We are all vile and imperfect in the sight of God. "If we contend with Him, we cannot answer him one in a thousand" (Job 9:3). Let us remember this. In all our self-examination let us not try ourselves by comparison with the standard of men. Let us look at nothing but the requirements of God. He that acts on this principle will never be a Pharisee.

Shalimar Bagh is one of the beautiful gardens in Srinagar, which is regarded as the monument of love. It was built in 1616 by Mughal Emperor Jahangir for his wife, Nur Jahan. This garden houses four terraces, fountains and a canal. The highest terrace at this site is known as 'Abode of Love', which was used by the emperor and royal ladies. This bagh is also called as Garden of Char Minar, Faiz Baksh and Farah Baksh.
About Shalimar Bagh :
Located in Srinagar, Shalimar Garden was laid out by Emperor Jehangir for his wife Nur Jahan in 1616. Shalimar Garden are the magnum opus of Srinagar's many gardens and parks.This beautiful garden was originally named the Farah Bakhsh or 'delightful garden', but today it is known as the 'garden of love'. The garden features a canal, lined with polished stones and is supplied with water from Harwan runs through the middle of the garden. Shalimar Bagh has an air of solitude and quietude, and its rows of amazing fountains and shaded lined trees seem to retire towards the snow dressed mountains. A sound and light show is held here every evening between May to October in the tourist season.
Hisory :
While the recent history and development of the Mughal types of gardens is credited to Emperor Jahangir of the Mughal Dynasty, the ancient history of the garden is traced to the 2nd century when it was built during the reign of Pravarsena II. Praversena II founded the city of Srinagar and ruled in Kashmir from 79 AD to 139 AD. He had built a cottage for his stay at the northeastern corner of the Dal Lake and had named it Shalimar (means "Abode or Hall of Love" Sanskrit). The king, on his visits to a local saint by the name Sukarma Swami at Harwan, used to stop at this cottage. Over the years, the cottage fell into ruins and later could not be located. However, the village name remained as Shalimar.
It is here that Emperor Jahangir built his celebrated Shalimar Bagh, his dream project to please his queen He enlarged the ancient garden in 1619 into a royal garden and called it 'Farah Baksh' ('the delightful'). He built it for his wife Nur Jahan ('light of the world'). In 1630, under Emperor Shah Jahan's orders, Zafar Khan the governor of Kashmir got it extended. He named it 'Faiz Baksh' ('the bountiful'). It then became a pleasure place for the Pathan and Sikh governors who followed Zafar Khan.
During the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh the marble pavilion was the guest house for European visitors. Electrification of the premises was done during Maharaja Hari Singh's rule. Thus, over the years, the garden was extended and improved by many rulers and called by different names, but the most popular name 'Shalimar Bagh' continues to this day.
During the Mughal period in particular, Emperor Jahangir and his wife Nur Jahan were so enamoured of Kashmir that during summer they moved to Srinagar with their full court entourage from Delhi, at least 13 times. Shalimar Bagh was their imperial summer residence and the Royal Court. They crossed the arduous snowy passes of the Pir Panjal mountain range on elephants to reach Srinagar.
Layout :
The layout of the garden is an adaptation of another Islamic garden layout known as the Persian gardens. This garden built on a flat land on a square plan with four radiating arms from a central location as the water source, could not be exactly replicated to the hilly conditions in the Kashmir valley. It needed to be modified to suit the hilly terrain and availability of a source of water, which could be diverted from a higher elevation by gravity to the planned gardens. Thus, modifications to suit the location were designed, which involved the main channel running through the garden axially from top to the lowest point. This central channel, known as the Shah Nahar, is the main axis of the garden. It runs through three terraces. This layout saved on radial arms and the shape became rectangular, instead of a square plan of the Chahar Bagh.
The garden, as finally laid, extends to an area of 12.4 hectares (31 acres) built with a size of 587 metres (1,926 ft) length on the main axis channel and with a total width of 251 metres (823 ft). The garden has three terraces fitted with fountains and with chinar (sycamore) tree-lined vistas. The Shahnahar is the main feeder channel to all the terraces. Each one of the three terraces has a specific role.
The garden was linked to the open Dal Lake water through a canal of about 1 mile (1.6 km) length and 12 yards (11 m) in width that ran through swampy quagmire. Willow groves and rice terraces fringed the lake edge. Broad green paths bordered the lake with rows of chinar trees. The garden was laid in trellised walkways lined by avenues of aspen trees planted at 2 feet (0.61 m) interval.
Architecture :
The architectural details of the three terraces of the garden are elaborate. The first terrace is a public garden or the outer garden ending in the Diwan-e-Aam (public audience hall). In this hall, a small black marble throne was installed over the waterfall.
The second terrace garden along the axial canal, slightly broader, has two shallow terraces. The Diwan-i-Khas (the Hall of Private Audience), which was accessible only to the noblemen or guests of the court, now derelict, is in its centre. However, the carved stone bases and a fine platform surrounded by fountains are still seen. The royal bathrooms are located on the north-west boundary of this enclosure. The fountain pools of the Diwan-i Khas, the Diwan-i-Amm, and in turn, the Zenana terrace are supplied in succession.
In the third terrace, the axial water channel flows through the Zenana garden, which is flanked by the Diwan-i-Khas and chinar trees. At the entrance to this terrace, there are two small pavilions or guard rooms (built in Kashmir style on stone plinth) that is the restricted and controlled entry zone of the royal harem. Shahajahan built a baradari of black marble, called the Black Pavilion in the zenana garden. It is encircled by a fountain pool that receives its supply from a higher terrace. A double cascade falls against a low wall carved with small niches (chini khanas), behind the pavilion. Two smaller, secondary water canals lead from the Black Pavilion to a small baradari. Above the third level, two octagonal pavilions define the end wall of the garden. The baradari has a lovely backdrop of the snow mountains, which is considered a befitting setting for the Bagh.
The Shalimar Bagh is well known for chini khanas, or arched niches, behind garden waterfalls. They are a unique feature in the Bagh. These niches were lighted at night with oil lamps, which gave a fairy tale appearance to the water falls. However, now the niches hold pots of flower pots that reflect their colours behind the cascading water.
Another unusual architectural feature mentioned is about the doors of the Baradari. In the garden complex, the Baradari had four exquisite doors made of stones supported by pillars. It is conjectured that these stone doors were ruins from old temples that were demolished by Shahajahan. The garden also provided large water troughs where a variety of fountains were fixed.

SLIDESHOW: West Seattle Lions Club's St. Patrick's Dinner at Senior Center well-attended
Dozens of hungry area residents, from children to seniors, attended West Seattle Lions Club's St. Patrick's Day Dinner at the Senior Center of West Seattle Saturday, March 16.
Corned beef and cabbage was served, or chicken if you preferred, and a three-piece band played "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover", "Danny Boy" and other holiday favorites. West Seattle's Bob Fox, who we have featured in three previous stories, played the guitar. A live auction and raffle helped raise some money, and the noise level, at the annual event.

ARCATA -- The injury bug on the Humboldt State campus has made its way up from the Redwood Bowl into Lumberjack Arena.
HSU head coach Steve Kinder announced on Tuesday afternoon that two of the Jacks' top returning shooting guards, senior Austin Bryan and junior Ethan Dillard, will miss the entire 2013-14 season after both sustained injuries in the opening week of practice.
Bryan and Dillard are now the second and third members from last season's 11-15 squad to sustain a season-ending injury. Guard Rocky Brown, who hurt his knee over the summer, underwent surgery to repair his ACL this past Friday, according to Kinder.
Junior college transfer Jacob Cheek has also been ruled out for the year with a broken foot.
"It's unfortunate," Kinder said in regards to the flurry of injuries to start the year. "We're going to put a positive spin on it and take a look at the five freshmen that we have. Not only are they going to make the team, but they're going to be thrown in for valuable minutes and certainly have an opportunity to start on this basketball team throughout the season."
Bryan, the Jacks' leading scorer last season with 12.7 points per game, was a second-team all-California Collegiate Athletic Association selection. The 6-foot-4 guard transferred HSU in 2011 after a season at Dominican University coming off a knee injury, but had been relatively healthy since, as he was one of two players to appear in all 26 games last season.
Dillard, one of the Humboldt's best perimeter shooters the past two seasons, broke his left elbow while bracing himself after taking a charge on HSU's first day of practice last Tuesday.
That means the five freshmen -- guards Colin Caslick, Parker Farris, Will Taylor and Trevor Hammitt and center Jermain Wilson -- are going to get even more of a look from Kinder and coaching staff than they were before preseason camp got underway.
"They're going to gain an incredible amount of experience throughout the next four or five months," Kinder said about the group of freshmen on his roster. "And coming back as sophomores with that under their belt, and these four coming back as junior or senior status, we'll be very good in the future."
Kinder is also pleased with what he has seen out of his two Division I transfers, point guard Allen Guei and swingman Jordan Mackie, through the first week of practice.
"I'm focusing on the freshmen right now as far as building for the future and taking a look at what we can do with them, but our two D-1 transfers are playing at a high level," Kinder said. "I do think they'll produce some points, some much-needed points without our two or three shooters gone with injuries."
And there's no denying that the newcomers will be tested right out of the gate.
The Jacks are just over a week away from heading to the Bay Area to face Cal in an exhibition on Halloween night before traveling to New York to face another Division I school with a rich basketball tradition, St. John's, four days later.
But that's just the beginning.
HSU will return to the West Coast and officially open the regular season in San Rafael on Nov. 8 and 9, playing Dominican and Academy of Art on back-to-back nights in the CCAA/PacWest Challenge.
"These four games in the 11-game road trip that we have faced in front of us is going to be a whirlwind, a little bit of a tornado," Kinder said. "As a coaching staff, I feel confident that we'll stay poised and see the future in hand in that we'll see that the CCAA schedule starts in December."

slightly better, happens after the engine warms up a bit too most times.
Having to over rev to start from a standstill is killing my MPG.
I'm going to start looking at the egr and dpfe sensor this weekend.
I had a check engine light last time, my car was in limp home mode
i replaced plug wires and coil and it was good, that was 3 years ago.
So what to look at next, vacuum lines all look and feel good.
My few engine mods are SRI and my TB.
Is there any sensors that need to be checked at 110k miles.
There's a big fat rubber hose I found today between the firewall and engine. Routed from engine manifold port, then routed from passenger side to driver side and forward near thermostat housing to a metal vacuum line system on bracket.
The car was bogging cause the vacuum was collapsing the soft rubber hose. I put some stiff rubber fuel hose in in place of the thin rubber oem part and car runs great again.

Q: I'm trying to find out about the new restaurant in Boulder owned by the chef who started out at Citrus.
A: That chef is Seamus Feeley, who now owns Mateo (1837 Pearl Street, Boulder, 303-443-7766) with partners Matthew Jansen and Brett Zimmerman. At Mateo, Feeley offers the French provincial fare he favors, and at a much lower price than similar dishes at Citrus (1701 Wynkoop Street, 303-573-1121).

I LOVE these shoes!! Fun and very versatile with dressier items or cropped jeans and a white T-Shirt. They run true to size; im a 7.5 US and I bought the 75.5 EUR which fits perfectly. The toe box is bit big so your first 2 toes protrude out more than i usually like, but the cuteness of the shoe made me keep them

It will take real courage to face the "Bilingual" truth.
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results – what should we think about the lawsuit that Texas school districts are pursuing against their own taxpayers? Our schools are failing – and all we hear is the classic and worn-out excuse that we're not spending enough money.
Nearly 3-out-of-5 districts have sued, including big city ISDs like Dallas, asking Austin-based Judge John Dietz to force a new funding system that would provide schools with about $8 billion more each year. This is on top of the money that taxpayers in several districts have voluntarily handed over by approving bond issues. Even as you read this, some districts are building ornate new school buildings.
Two things are true:
- First, the new buildings will be nice, but they will not make children learn any more than they did in the old buildings that will be torn down.
- Second, even if Judge Dietz rules for the districts, history tells us that more money is not going to fix our schools.
One of the roots of the problem is a politically correct teaching method that has its own constituency, and therefore will be hard to abolish. But if we want the burgeoning numbers of Hispanic children that now attend Texas schools to succeed – we have to find a way to kill bilingual education.
The bilingual lobby will have a fit if we attempt to do this – but that points to a hard, cold fact: bilingual education is for the teachers; it is NOT for the children.
The case of Oceanside, California is a prime example of what can happen – virtually overnight – when American schools revert to the traditional language of our country.
When California voters (including 84% of Hispanics, according to a Los Angeles Times poll) passed Proposition 227 called "English For the Children," most districts ignored the measure and went right on doing what they were doing. Oceanside decided to try it – and saw test scores shoot up, so much so that Superintendent Kenneth Noonan, who had opposed English immersion, became an activist for it.
Back home in Texas, Dr. Christine Rossell conducted a study in 2009 entitled "Does Bilingual Education Work? The Case of Texas". It was published by the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
After a thorough study of several methods of teaching English to kids who have low proficiency, she concluded:
"Bilingual education is more expensive than other programs, and is the least effective."
Dr. Rossell's recommendation was to adopt sheltered English immersion as the default for public schools, while giving parents an option to choose a program that best meets each child's needs – and test students in English.
And yet, Texas school districts seem unwilling to look at the root causes of why the schools are failing. Education activist Donna Garner of Waco says, flatly, that one of the causes is bilingual education. She says it will take real courage on the part of Texans to face the truth.
It will also take a competent judge in the current lawsuit and a strong legislature willing to stand up to the bilingual education lobby.
As Garner points out, the judge should make the districts prove that the money they've already spent on certain programs have produced results – and that more money would produce even better results.
In the case of bilingual education, that would be a high burden.
Any foreign language teacher will tell you that immersion is the best way to learn French or German. And yet, we're told that the opposite is true for poor children from Mexico. It's simply not true.
But this lawsuit is not about truth. It's about money.

Consumer Sentiment
We find ourselves smack in the middle of the dog days of August right now. The pull-your-hair-out, hang-on-every-pitch intensity of the final two weeks of a close pennant race is still a month's off, and it seems like with football starting up, Tiger winning another major and other news stories coming from elsewhere in the sports world, baseball is just dragging a bit.
It shouldn't be. There are seven teams with a legitimate crack at the postseason in the American League, and another ten in the Senior Circuit. Just as the games counted back in early April, and just as they sure as hell will count in late September, some critical contests are being played right now. A trip around the blogosphere should serve to stave off late summer baseball fatigue and reignite the passion we all have for the game.
Things got interesting quickly in the American League East. Once 14.5 games out in front of the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox found themselves just four up yesterday. For just the second time all season long, the Red Sox pulled out a win when trailing after eight innings. Mike Lowell hit the game-tying home run with one out in the ninth and then with two outs, Jason Varitek doubled and Coco Crisp played Varitek on a single to right field to give Boston a 2-1 win. Randy Booth at Over the Monster is relieved to have an exciting one fall Boston's way for the first time in what has felt like a long while. Red from Surviving Grady agrees with the sentiment. He just expresses himself a bit, um, differently.
It's been far, far too long since we've had a dramatic, drop-yer-beers-and-grab-yer-balls finish like that.Jimmy from Dewey's House reminds us of the potential impact Clay Buchholz could have on matters should the Sox call him up like they are rumored to be considering.
At The Replacement Level Yankee Weblog, they take a pretty sober approach toward things. The Yankees are an excellent team, but even they will acknowledge they have been playing a bit over their heads. SG documented the believers and the non-believers, and noted chronologically the progress New York had made in a post that went up on Sunday. They also took time to remember Scooter.
Alex Belth is no stranger to these parts, and he and his co-writer Cliff Corcoran always keep close tabs on the Bombers at Bronx Banter. Cliff offered up his own Rizzuto memorial, and Alex, as only Alex can, offered up a post on Sunday with a title that captured the essence of a good run in baseball as well as any other statement I've seen. It was called, "When You're Hot, You Win."
After New York was trounced 12-0 last night by Baltimore, Boston gained a game and their lead now stands at 5. Though well back of a playoff spot, this post from Orioles Hangout will give you a decent sense for the vibes being felt in and around The Charm City. They took two of three from Boston in dramatic fashion over the weekend and then went into the Bronx and laid the 12-0 drubbing on the Yanks.
Toronto is doing their typical thing, hovering around .500, playing decent ball but not really threatening anybody. Not giving up hope just yet, Mike Green of Batters Box took a look at some past late-season comebacks. D-Rays Bay, God bless their souls, hangs in their with their team through thick and thin and their latest entry is an interesting look at Jonny Gomes. I imagine they might be refreshing their browsers a couple of times today for a David Price update.
In the Central, the Tribe and Tigers are locked in a fantastic race. The division has become much more crucial now that the Yankees are in the Wildcard fold. Neither team has played well of late but hey, they all count. There is plenty of time for both teams to get things squared away. Bill Ferris of Detroit Tigers Weblog is not letting his team's recent play dampen his enthusiasm for the critical stretch of games the Tigers have coming up.
Am I crazy for being geeked about this stretch of games? Given the way the Tigers have played lately I probably am, but I guess I'm anxious to see what the team is made of. I'm not going to take the position that the season will be decided over the next 2 weeks, that's just silly. Unless the team is 4-9 or worse, or 9-4 or better, their status probably won't really change. Still, the chance to see them take on the teams they are competing with for playoff spots should be exciting.
Brian of Tigerblog recaps last night's 6-2 win over the Tribe to take a one game lead in the division. James Pete recaps the game from the Cleveland perspective with an analysis of the contest. Let's just say he's not all that psyched with Joe Borowski.
Looking down-division in the Central, Aaron Gleeman offers a comprehensive take on how the Twins got to where they are now, and how they should approach the rest of the season. The Cheat from South Side Sox offered a stream-of-consciusness post on some Pale Hose related matters on Sunday. Rob and Rany checked in yesterday with a characteristically snarky and enjoyable offering on the state of the Royals.
Out west, the Angels hold a three game lead over the Mariners but as Rev Halofan points out, they have a helluva grind comin gup over the next two-plus weeks. Dave Cameron offered a nice look at a major reason for Seattle's solid play of late - Jeff Weaver's resurgence.
Here's a look from Athletic Nation on some of Oakland's unlikely sources of 2007 good play. In Arlington, you'll take what you can get at this point and signing two promising draft picks is just about as good as any other news Rangers fans can be receiving at this point.
The National League East has tightened up, with 3.5 games separating the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves. Pedro Martinez could end up playing a major role in the 2007 baseball season, and Matthew Cerone of MetsBlog has a look at his latest rehab effort. A Citizen's Blog details Tadahito Iguchi's contributions to Philly since he came over. How many of you were like me and counted Philadelphia out when Chase Utley went down? Will Schaffer of Chop-n-Change has Chipper Jones coming up huge again for Atlanta on a night when both New York and Philadelphia won. I am not sure if you have noticed, but the Washington Nationals have been decent of late. Chris Needham provides a comprehensive take.
Nobody wants to win the Central. The Cubs are 3-7 in their last ten and Milwaukee continues to play mediocre ball. Jeff at Brew Crew Ball thinks it's time to pounce on a soft week in the schedule (of course the Cubs also get CIN and STL at home). Al at Bleed Cubbie Blue had a nice vent on Sunday addressing Chicago's crummy recent play.
Will Leitch has a great take on the phenomenon that is Rick Ankiel and St. Louis Cardinals fans. Charlie at Bucs Dugout laments Pittsburgh's lacking organizational depth. JD from Red Reporter pointed me to the SI article recapping Cincinnati's 1990 sweep of the Oakland Athletics. Rare in sports that a contest is at once a major upset and also just a total drubbing.
Stay with the Snake Pit in order to keep tabs on the team with the National League's best record. Geoff Young from Ducksnorts reminds Padres fans not to panic while Dan Lucero has things looking up in Denver. Jon Weisman offers up his own most embarassing moment in light of last night's Mark Sweeney gaffe, though I am not sure the new Dodger will take consolation - not with the Dodgers free-falling in the standings as they are. As you can imagine if you have read his past work, John Perricone has some opinions to share regarding Barry Bonds.
So there you have it, a quick tour around the baseball blogosphere. Please post some other sites or good pieces from the web that you think capture fan sentiment in the comments section. We would love to check them out.
I'm probably not supposed to post a link to my own blog, but this is America, the land of LOOK AT ME!, so in that sense its justified.
In this below post I take a look at the two (maybe three) offensive sinkholes in the Red Sox lineup.
Hopefully you like it.

Benghazi Shouldn't Be 'Prolonged Political Process,' Kerry Says
Secretary of State John Kerry said recent debate about last Sept. 11's attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, hasn't produced new information and shouldn't be used for political purposes.
"I hate to see it turned into a pure, prolonged political process that really doesn't tell us anything new about the facts," Kerry said in an online chat on a Google Inc. website.
The top U.S. diplomat said he respects State Department officials who "spoke up" at a congressional hearing earlier this week.
"I really haven't learned anything new" about events in Libya that hadn't been covered in earlier hearings and briefings, said Kerry, who was a U.S. senator before moving to the State Department earlier this year.
Kerry praised "four very courageous Americans" who died in a "terrorist attack" on the Benghazi facility.
"We run risks everywhere in the world," Kerry said. "But America can never cower."

Forty-Niner from Tennessee: Diary Hugh Brown Heiskell
€ 29,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
August 1998
BeschreibungWhen Hugh Brown Heiskell set out from Tennessee for the California gold fields in 1849, he was one of thousands traveling west in search of fortune. Hugh and his cousin Tyler joined a wagon train from St. Louis and made their way across a continent that most people of the time could only imagine. What distinguishes him from other Forty-niners, however, is the captivating record he kept of that journey. This young Knoxville lawyer had a farm boy's curiosity for new vistas and wildlife, and he described what he saw with keen perception and insight.
This unique book includes not only Heiskell's journal but also numerous letters to family back home. Although many Forty-niners kept diaries, Heiskell wrote in great detail to provide a more complete sense of life on the trail and the difficulties of the journey. Averaging just sixteen miles each day, his party faced challenges such as a three-day desert crossing during which they lost more than half of their oxen and wagons. Heiskell's accounts of camp life, of people encountered along the way, and of the treacherous crossing of the mountains through Carson Pass are all richly compelling. Of special interest are Heiskell's observations about Native Americans, their customs, their clothing, and their shelters. And, finally, readers will be deeply moved by the fate of the adventurers once they reached their destination.
Edward M. Steel has integrated other sources with Heiskell's story to provide a broader overview of the gold rash days. His prologue introduces readers to young Heiskell's background, explains how wagon trains operated, and describes the country that the Forty-niners crossed. His careful annotations, meanwhile, shed light onspecific points in the diary. Heiskell's trek was made at an important point in the history of western expansion, and his diary complements other classic accounts of that experience -- notably that of Sarah Bayliss Royce, whose wagon train was encountered by Heiskell's alon
PortraitEdward M. Steel is professor of history, emeritus, at West VirginiaUniversity. Among his other works in American history are The Speeches andWritings of Mother Jones.

It cannot be proven whether shortcomings identified in a Dunedin man's care contributed to his death, Otago-Southland coroner David Crerar's finding into the death of Peter Wong says.
Mr Crerar found Mr Wong (69), a panelbeater, died on March 1 last year in Dunedin Hospital from severe heart failure following elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Clinicians had appropriately and honestly identified "shortcomings" in his care, Mr Crerar said in his written finding.
Air had been pumped in, rather than sucked from his heart during the procedure.
"The consensus must be therefore that it was more likely than not that there was a maladjustment with the aortic vent tubing going around the roller pump.
"Now that this event has been identified, it is important that the lesson learned is not forgotten," Mr Crerar's finding said.
The health board's own review recommended introducing a double-checking and sign-off requirement for the correct orientation of the aortic root vent sucker.
"The connection between the malfunction, which occurred and which has been reported, and the complications in the recovery of Peter Wong cannot be definitively proven."
Mr Wong, who suffered from type 2 diabetes as well as coronary artery disease, was in very poor health.
The slightest complication from his surgery was likely to have a "catastrophic" effect, yet without the procedure his prognosis was extremely poor.
In a statement, Southern District Health Board patient services medical director Richard Bunton said the appropriate cardiothoracic staff had been alerted to the matters highlighted by the coroner.
The board's own review recommendations were being implemented, he said.

Sprint false advertising/promises not kept Cincinnati Nationwide
Does your business have a bad reputation?

My husband and I went to sprint because they were offering a good deal on services at the time. We went to Best Buy to start the contract. This was the winter of last year, the spring time comes, all of a sudden, our services was so terrible that we could not receive phone calls or make them. So, I contacted Sprint to let them know the problem. They promised my a "signal boosting" tower "free" of charge to assist with this problem. We waited almost 3 weeks, and nothing came. So, I called again and the customer service rep stated "we have no idea what your speaking of and we didnt promise you anything" I was highly upset, mind you, I have called many, many times concerning the poor service with no reception. They would say "well we dont see any outages in you area.... this response was said to me on numerous calls to them. I told them I am stopping services with this company, so I did. Now, I have a/an 600.00$ charge on my credit report :( they are totally un-fair! and the customer service is terrible. I believe many times I was speaking with the Atlanta service department but, no sure. I need to report this and file a class action law suit against them. Please assist me with this, I wan this off my credit because it was due to poor service that I had to leave.

Doesn't matter the reason, you DID sign a contract. Even if there were service issues, YOU still signed a contract. What YOU needed to do is have THEM cancel your service. Since YOU did it instead of THEM, YOU have gained an ETF. While YOU may not like it, you DID agree to it.

An Intern's Take
Happy Passover, Happy Easter. As two of the major religions celebrate their high and holy seasons I wanted to reflect on a few things.
As an American of African descent and a father of three I may see things a little differently than most. I have been described by some readers as being a little to the left, whatever that means. I was a little bit concerned about the editorial on our Missing In Action Assemblywoman Michele Titus. In a time such as this we need all of our elected officials on deck. It's funny how we can complain about the state of our community but refuse to take the steps necessary to ensure that our interests and concerns are being heard. As a representative, it's her job to represent her district and to be accountable.
If these basic responsibilities cannot be met maybe its time that we search elsewhere.
I do not know Mrs. Titus personally, and I am pretty sure that she is aware of her current standing in the eyes of her constituents. I do know that it's time that the people of Far Rockaway demand more from those who we put in office. As the temperatures rise and the children prepare for summer break, what do we have to look forward to as a community? More crime and violence? Poor to non-existing programs for our children? And then there is the relationship with our police department that is fragile to say the least.
These are some of the many issues that our elected officials are put into office to address. They say if you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen. Many of our elected officials have chosen the post that they command. At this point if you are not prepared to do the job that you were elected to do maybe you should choose a different profession. We need full time elected officials.
The old folks used to say you need to give 100 percent, because 99 and a half won't do.
On another note it's that time of the year again: it's prom season. Project Window will be hosting the 2nd Annual Queens of Rockaway on May 3, at Ocean Bay Community Center. Project Window distributes prom dresses and accessories to girls in the Rockaways who are in need of assistance.
This year they will be reaching out to young ladies in foster care and those who are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
