– After yesterday's picture-perfect patchwork prints, Down Girl gets back to her tom-boy roots today with her take on the 'Boyfriend Look'… Genius! I have always wondered how to make this look work in the real world… DG explains all below. Such expertise! I feel I should be taking notes. – Lucy x
Fall 2010 Outfit by Chloe, Uniqlo Houndstooth Trilby Hat, Boyfriend Blazer from Topshop, Floral Cord Shorts from Topshop, Mimco Clutch, Jewel Studs and Flower Ring, Jeffery Campbell Wedge, Tan Driving Gloves by Dunhill
Happy Thursday! I hope you have had a nice week so far. I have! it's been pretty fun spending it with you! You've all been very attentive, I can see how you're working the trends from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Very cool! I'm actually getting pretty sad thinking about how I have to leave TDF tomorrow… it's been so nice, I really have enjoyed my time here.
So anyway, without further ado, I would like to present to you today's trend collective… 'The Boyfriend' look! A trend that represents the feminine beauty that all of us ladies hold. It proves to the world that even when throwing on our boyfriend's / husband's / partner's shirt, slacks and weekend boat shoes we look effortlessly beautiful and chic.
It's a trend this spring for us peeps down under, resonating from the Europe fall 2010 trends. A super cute look that is all about cuffed pants (slacks or loose jeans) or shorts (loose denim or cotton shorts) styled with a shirt and a blazer or vest. Whilst still keeping things pretty with florals, frills and amazing shoes. Tip: you cannot go wrong with a Jeffrey Campbell platform, every shoe by Mr Campbell I must say is truly a-mazing. That extra inch and a half makes you feel on top of the world (I would know!).
I was a little hesitant when first approaching this trend thinking 'do I really want to look even MORE tom-boyish?'. But, I have since decided you can mix and match with what you already own and still look 'on-trend'. You also don't need to go out and purchase the whole outfit to get this look, one or two items will do. I'm thinking a floral dress, grey tights, suitcase style bag and a blazer would look perfect, or how about cuffed slacks with a grey tee, pretty little bedazzled cardie and classic pearls. Wow, I think I pretty much just sold my self into this look!
I'll leave you here. Enjoy your night and I will speak to you again tomorrow.
Cuffs & pearls,

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a rare disease of the blood, only occurring in four out of every 1 million children. This rare disease keeps the body from properly producing blood cells and producing enough of them. MDS develops in the bone marrow, the soft, spongy center of the long bones that produces the three major blood cells. With this disease, the blood cells lose their ability to mature and function properly.
How Dana-Farber/Boston Children's approaches myelodysplastic syndrome
Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center has one of the nation's most experienced, multidisciplinary teams at diagnosing and treating pediatric MDS. Dana-Farber/Boston Children's is the only large pediatric center in the U.S. that has been awarded the MDS Centers of Excellence award by the MDS Foundation.
At Dana-Farber/Boston Children's, children with myelodysplastic syndrome are treated through our Myelodysplastic Syndrome Specialty Program. We offer specialized diagnostic and treatment options, and our Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Center is one of the largest and most experienced pediatric stem cell transplant programs in the world.
In almost all instances, MDS in children can be cured only through a bone marrow transplant, also known as a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT uses high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to destroy all the cells in the bone marrow, healthy and diseased ones. Healthy cells from the bone marrow of another person—either a relative (usually a sibling) or an unrelated individual—are given through an infusion to the patient to restore the bone marrow that was previously destroyed by the chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Find more in-depth information about myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) on the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's website, including answers to:
Clinical Trials
For many children with rare or hard-to-treat conditions, clinical trials provide new options.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

36 ford hump back
Does anybody know what cars have good leather seats that will fit in the front and rear seats of my 36 ford. I would like to use that as a starter for my interir and go from there. Most buckets will fit in the front ,the back seat is the problem as it is quite narrow. :) Thanks!
DO you not have the original seat springs for the rear??
If you do you could probably buy the matching too big back seat from the car you get your front seats from and install the seat covers from it onto the original springs.
You didn't say if your car was a Tudor or a Fordor. The "humpback" cars are called Touring Sedans.
If you have a 2 door car, make sure you find seats that came out of a two door so they tilt forward. I know this sounds obvious, but it's something you need to consider. Good Luck
36 ford interior
Thanks for the comments guys, I do not have the springs for the back seat they will have to come from another car also and it is a two door. Still looking for those magical seats that will fit it.
Jerry: How about leather seats out of a Chrysler Town and Country mini-van? Buckets for the front, no problem except you'd need a mounting bracket that lets the seats tilt forward, or power seats that move forward so passengers could get in. Either the matching center or rear seat should fit in the back, and the back of the rear seat would tilt forward if you wanted it to.

Thanks Dantwolakes I will check it out. : :welcome:

Setup .tel Domains
Account Settings
After you register your .tel domain name, you will be provided with the corresponding login details: username and password. The link to the management panel will be included.
If you can not remember the password, click on the Forgotten your password link.In the management panel you can store, change, update and publish your contact information.
You can edit the account settings from the settings area.
There you can alter the password and the e-mail associated with the .tel domain. You can enable the TelFriends system and set a .tel e-mail.
E-mail Settings
The main advantage of a .tel domain is that you don't need a hosting account to use it. However, if you want to have email accounts for your .tel domain such as firstname.lastname@example.com, you will need a hosting account.
Follow the steps below to set up a mail account for a .tel domain:
First and foremost, you must have a registered .tel domain. SiteGround customers can order a new .tel domain from their Customer Area > Order Domains.
- Log in to your .tel domain management section and go to settings -> Setup .tel email.
- In the Server host name field type the host name(s) of the mail server(s) that will handle your mails. For example, if your account is hosted on the siteground200.com server, type siteground200.com in the field.
- In the Order field enter a number for the order in which the server(s) will be used. For example, you can type 1 for your first host name and increase the number for any additional host names.
- Click Save to save your domain's MX records.
- Now you need to create the mail account(s) that you want to use with your .tel domain. To be able to do this, you should first park your .tel domain from your cPanel > Parked domains. Note that due to their specific DNS setup, .tel domains cannot work as parked domains. The only reason you need to park the .tel domain is to be able to create mail accounts for it.
- The last thing you need to do is to create your mail accounts for the .tel domain from your cPanel -> Email accounts.

Although Tom Brady's Patriots lost the Super Bowl last weekend, there's some good news in the family after all: the QB's sister Julie Brady has announced her engagement to Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis is on the Boston Red Sox and is a mainstay of all those fun "best Jewish baseball player ever" lists. In Moneyball, he is referred to as The Greek God of Walks, even though his last name isn't actually Greek.Considering that Tom is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, it might be fair to call … [Read more...]

The old spark plugs were not copper, so i think my change attributed to that change in performance. Also ordered some lift support arms for my hood, as mine are shot. I noticed a small oil leak, but its looking like it just needs a new valve cover, so im picking that up today and fixing that issue. Next will probably be me getting some fuel injector cleaner for it. My mechanic neighbor told me about some really good stuff that dealers use and only dealers sell (not at autozone, o'riellys, advanced, ect.) I think he called it BG42 or something like that. Then, just little things over time to ehnace the drivebaility and power.
In the
tune up
category of things :
1. Check that all engine belts are properly tensioned. They should be tight to the touch. Loose belts rob your engine of power. Use belt spray on the belts and see the difference in its performance...that's what tight belts will do for you.
2. Replace air filter. If the current one looks ok, dust it off. You can also soak it in laundry detergent for an hour and rinse off with running water. Drip dry and reinstall even if damp. It will dry out in normal driving. No danger to the engine.
3. Clean out your throttle body. Remove main air hose and spray carb cleaner into the butterfly valve area to eliminate any crud. Inspect the air hose for any cracks before your reinstall it. If there are cracks, purchase a new one, its fairly cheap.
4.1 Do a diesel flush on your engine. Add 1 quart to your crankcase with the old oil, run the engine at idle for 15 minutes, then drain and replace oil and oil filter. Do this each time you service your car.
4.2 Use the correct oil rating for your engine, or use something slightly thicker at first and then see how it feels when you switch back to the correct rating down the line. If the thicker oil feels better, stick with that. If they both feel the same, switch back to the recommended rating.
5. Do a diesel fuel system flush. Add between 1-3 quarts of diesel to a nearly empty fuel tank, and then immediately fill up to full with regular. This causes the fuels to mix. Then drive normally. The diesel in the tank will clean out your fuel injectors better than any injector cleaner....and for the same price, you'll get a much higher volume of cleaner. If this is the first time you're doing this for your car, add diesel for 2-3 consecutive fillups. Thereafter, do this once each time you service your car.
6. Go for a WOT (wide open throttle) run on your car. Get those rpms to the 5k zone and hold it there for 15 minutes. If you cannot do this at safe speeds where you live, switch your transmission down to 4th or 3rd gear to get the rpms up.
7. Seafoam's effects are psychological. Any real benefit to the car comes from the fluid mixing with the engine oil and thinning it out. You can get the same effect by adding 500ml of dex3/4 transmission fluid to your engine. Its perfectly safe and will thin down the oil, giving you a short term boost. Marvel mystery oil works the same way too. I've tried all of that to no genuine effect.
8. Instead of adding sea foam to the engine, add a mixture of 50% ethanol and 50% water to the intake manifold via a tube fed into the brake booster's usual fitting. Anything from 1-3 quarts will be fine. Start the engine and hold the rpms at 1500. Hold the open end of the tube right at the surface of the mixture, without dipping into it entirely...the mixture will be sucked in via the engine's vacuum through the hose, and it will do some cleaning of your intake manifolds from the inside. Hold it at that position until you get the hang of it. Don't worry, you won't hydrolock your engine. Some water will enter your engine though and you might find the oil under the crankcase cap and dipstick a little milky...do not worry, anything from 15-60 minutes of total driving time depending on how much mixture you used, will vapourise and expel the water naturally through the crankcase ventilation system. There will always be water in the air and in oil so your engine will not be damaged. You don't need to do this immediately either, just go for a drive within 24 hours. You can drive normally i.e. hard.
No issues.
9. You have the M20 engine, right? There was a post I spotted on bimmerfest a long...long time ago, which showed that seriously thick crud accumulates around the two bends of the intake manifold...the first bend midway and the second bend where it connects to the cylinder head. It was a nightmarish picture, and the poster concerned didn't realise anything was wrong at first...he had dismantled it in the process of getting to the head gasket, then saw the abomination and alerted us....I would very strongly advise you to pick up some new intake manifold gaskets, dismantle it and clean it out thoroughly using a flexible probe and lots of flushing. It will surely improve the airflow into your engine and thus your performance and mileage.
When you reinstall the manifold, make sure you use a torque wrench and have the bolts torqued down according to the Bentley manual's recommendations, and in the correct sequence. (This is highly important for the valve cover gasket (vcg) too ).
10. Check on your valve clearances when you do the valve cover gasket. Gap them and tune them up properly. They would have run out for sure. This makes a very noticeable difference to the performance and smoothness of the engine. The Bentley manual has details.
11. Unless you have evidence that the ignition coil assembly/ ignition distributor/ distributor cap / thingamajig and the spark plug wires were recently changed, purchase a whole new one. OEM. Would usually improve performance slightly, and eliminate problems due to degraded wiring. Around $200. I would only get to this after everything else has been cleared.
12. Use 4-claw spark plugs for better performance and longevity. Do not change them for the next 100k miles. Seriously. Bosch plat+4 will do the trick. However, take them out at least once a year and just inspect them.....spark plug burn marks can sometimes alert you to other forms of engine issues (please google). I believe you purchased the denso plugs, if they were the iridium versions you're good for the next 100k miles there too. An esteemed member of these forums once ran stock spark plugs on his e36 m50 (same engine as on the later versions of the e34) for almost 180k miles, with no real issues. As long as the engine's condition is normal, your spark plugs may only require light cleaning on ocassion. The iridium ones don't even require that.
13. Make sure your tyres are properly inflated. Ebay sells a neat solar powered hand held digital tyre pressure gauge. Something like under $10 shipped. Hang on to that. Make it an unconscious habit to scan your tyres' standing road bulge from time to time to sense problems early, then use the gauge to confirm. In any case, check the pressure every 2 months.
14. Autozone will scan your car's computer for free (or is that only for obd2 cars?). If the stomp test does not work, don't bother, just head right over there and get that checked. After you've had the codes read and noted, clear them on your car. The code reader can do this, or you can unplug your ecu for 5 minutes. Don't be too worried if you find many codes, some of them are very old ones. After they are deleted, recheck your codes about 1 week later. If the earlier codes have reappeared, then you do have a problem and need to decide what (if at all) you're going to do about it.
15. Use a vacuum pressure gauge to see if you have an vacuum losses on your engine, and if so, do your best to trace it. Youtube has many videos on how to use this gauge. It is cheap...under $30 shipped.
: After everything has been done, please retune your engine by playing with your air flow meter (google for detailed writeups with pictures). There is a little allen-key bolt over on that afm that you can turn clockwise and anti clockwise to fine tune your idling and get the perfect note. You should do this after everything on this list has been done for two reasons : (a) by then you would have totally gotten to know your engine and how it sounds under various conditions intuitively, which is important for this "tuning fork" type tuning, and (b) anything else that might affect the engine has been replaced, cleaned out or upgraded. This should be the very last step. And it is reversible. The target, is to make it sound as sweet as possible when at idle. What does that mean? You'll know it when you hear it.
You can only determine this after you've had your car and worked on it for a couple of weeks, so only do this at the very end.
cheers, Roberto

1) You can use size 270 thread in a standard industrial sewing machine like a Singer 111W if you use a size 24 or 25 needle. I have sewed with size 270 thread successfully with my Consew 226R. The problem is that there will not be much thread on your bobbins because of the thickness of the thread, and you'll be changing bobbins every two minutes. I had better luck sewing with 270 on my Consew 255RB-3 because it uses a very large bobbin.
2) Not all double needle machines are chain stitch machines, I have a double needle machine that uses lock stitches. Additionally, the double needle machines used to sew French seams are not flat bed machines, they are post bed machines like a shoemaker would use to get around tight areas. A lot of them also feed a piece of twill tape onto the underside of the fabric being stitched to make the seam much stronger. A chain stitch is just as strong as a lock stitch. The reason for using chain stitch machines like the Union Special is because the "bobbin" is a full spool of thread. That way you never have to change the "bobbin" thread until the spool runs out. The drawback of a chain stitch machine is that you can't back tack.
)3 No, you won't notice it unless you get within a few inches of the stitching, the human eye doesn't work that way . Your concern is not founded in fact. If you make a french seam with a double needle machine on a curved area, the two stitch lines won't match up between the inside part of the curve and the outside part of the curve. You can make a really nice French seam making two passes, you just have to take your time and keep a part of the foot aimed at the same thing as you sew all your stitches.
4) You can sew Alcantra, (or real leather, or anything else) with a regular pointed needle. The key is using the smallest needle for the thread you are using. The thread will fill up the needle holes. I use a size 22 standard pointed needle for almost everything I sew.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.

English interest in Lars Bender has waned since the Bayer Leverkusen vice-captain agreed new terms with the Bundesliga side at the start of the season.
But famed for his tenacious work-rate and tough-tackling, this term averaging 4.5 tackles per match in the Champions League's group stages, the 24 year-old would address a significant gap in Liverpool's squad, recently highlighted amid Lucas Leiva's lengthy sideline spell through injury.
The energetic midfielder's reputation is growing on the international scene too; featuring in his secondary right-back role for Germany, he racked up three goals in six outings during 2013, and is expected to make Joachim Lowe's squad for the World Cup in Brazil.
With Bayer having hit their maxim over the past two campaigns, Liverpool's champions status would certainly entice the Die Mannschaft man, but Bender's price-tag, believed to be around the £25million mark, could be an issue.

Kenmore Washer Cleaning
3 Attachment(s)
Can anyone tell me how to disassemble the center part of my washer to clean it. It has a lot of fabric softener and soap buildup.
All I have from the previous home owner is a generic manual that has "Sept 1990" written on it.
Looks like not enough water has been used, along with too much chemicals in the loads. The cup on the top should just pull off, then from there, you can get to the nut to take off the agitator.
I can move the whole drum by pulling up on the cup. Maybe it's glued with fab softener.
That is my thought. Ours is just held on by compression, against the cap on the top of the agitator.
pull really hard, it will come off.
I found instructions for doing this, can someone clarify step 1?? What notch?
You have to pull the reservoir for the Fabric Softner, and under that there is a cap.
3 Attachment(s)
Fabric Softner reservor.
Attachment 37074
What is under the reservor
Attachment 37075
Under the cap on top of the agitator.
Attachment 37076
Oh I understand. The pulling of the reservoir has already been done before step #1. Thanks for the pics.
I'll have to get some hot water on my reservoir or something because I am 6' 200lbs and pulling on it with gloves on with all my might until my hands slide off and it's not budging...20 years of Snuggle buildup I guess.
Maybe i'll try some vinegar in the resevoir.
2 Attachment(s)
I got it off. I had to scrub the fabric softener away and then I saw the ring that said "pull up to remove". I pulled it up and the cup basically fell off. All clean now and the machine is flushing with hot water and vinegar.
Thanks for all your help! B-)

Style: 38827648 Colour:
Lightweight and crinkly wrap tunic with cold shoulder detailing and ruffle trim. Wide three-quarter length sleeves. Adjustable ties with tassel ends.
Endless Summer
An Endless Summer- Whether you live the beach lifestyle year-round or dream of making the great escape, explore the collection of our most effortlessly ethereal styles under the sun.
Cute, but not as pictured
This tunic is super cute but it is not the same as the product photographed. The only way to wear it is how the tea color is styled, tied around the neck in the back. To have it tied in the front across the chest like shown in the other 2 colors, you would have to take the ties and put them through the opposite way which is impossible because the tassel doesn't fit through the hole to remove it or put it back in (if that makes sense). I'm disappointed because it's a completely different look than i was expecting and I'm confused how the sample is so different from the actual product. If there's a way to do this tha I'm not seeing, please let me know! t

Gains Likely to Be Extended
By Arnie Kaufman
The recent breakout on heavy trading volume has turned the intermediate-term trend upward, according to S&P technical analyst Mark Arbeter. But a near-term impediment is the overhead resistance between 1144 and 1174 on the S&P 500, where the market advance stalled last week. Many investors apparently bought stock in that range in the unusually high-volume session of last December 5, sat with losses for over three months and are looking to sell when they can break even. Arbeter would view positively some daily closes above 1180 on the "500." As recoveries from bear markets go, this one had been on the anemic side, but is now catching up to its predecessors. At the five-month point of the rebound (Feb. 21), the S&P 500 had recouped only 21% of the bear market loss, far less than earlier recoveries at that stage. Through Mar. 8, or roughly five and a half months from the Sept. 21 low, however, the "500" had regained 35% of its loss.
The rally since September has had to contend with more than its share of restraints, including continued weakness of information technology investment spending and high p-e ratios, as well as worries about the next stage in the war on terrorism, fallout from the Enron collapse and a possible Middle East blowup.
Also, until recently, it wasn't clear that the recession had ended, and it was widely believed that the early part of an expansion phase would be sluggish. Now, economists are wondering whether there was a recession, and are ratcheting up their GDP forecasts for the March quarter (S&P's chief economist David Wyss currently expects 4% growth).
The surprising vigor of the business upturn has sent bond yields higher and fanned fears that the Fed will soon push short-term interest rates upward. Wyss, who hadn't expected a fed funds hike until August or September, now thinks a boost is possible in June. Nevertheless, with the corporate profits outlook firming, we feel that stocks will be able to extend their gains.

SARTELL, Minn. – The Northern Arizona men's tennis team swept its way through St. Cloud State on Friday to snap its eight-match losing streak, 9-0, at the Fitness Evolution Tennis Center. The Lumberjacks' first victory since a 4-2 win over Western New Mexico on Feb. 3 moved their record to 3-12 overall and gives them some momentum heading into their Big Sky contest against North Dakota on Saturday.
"The guys played really well and really took care of business," said men's tennis assistant coach Joseph Heckley. "They capitalized on big points and played consistent. It all started with winning the doubles point. This gives us confidence going into our conference match tomorrow."
For the third time in five matches, the Lumberjacks jumped out of the gate with a doubles point win. The No. 2 NAU pair of senior Patrick Schimmelbauer and junior Dominic Bermudez claimed an easy 8-1 win over Matheus Aching and Jeremy Thompson to improve to a team-best 5-1 in doubles play. The two remaining Lumberjack doubles teams recorded identical 8-3 victories to give the team their second sweep of doubles play of the season and coincidentally their first since their Western New Mexico victory.
Leading the charge in singles play were senior Shaun Waters and sophomore Kester Black, who both notched easy 6-0, 6-1 wins at No. 2 and 4 singles respectively. Schimmelbauer and Bermudez also notched straight-set wins of their own at the No. 1 and 3 positions respectively before senior Robert Martin and sophomore Trevor Unger closed out the match with one pro set wins at the final two spots.
The Lumberjacks' nine-match blanking of the Huskies without dropping a match in both doubles play and singles play was the team's first such team win since their 7-0 home win over Northern Colorado on April 2, 2011.
With its losing skid in the rear view mirror, NAU hopes to make it two in a row on Saturday and pick up its first conference win of the season in the process when they travel to Grand Forks, N.D. to play North Dakota. UND in its first season in the Big Sky Conference is 1-7 overall and 0-4 in conference play. The Lumberjacks are 0-2 in the conference. Play will start at 7 a.m. at UND's Center Court Fitness Club.
1. Kester Black/Shaun Waters (NAU) def. Jordan Peterson/Matt Sturgeon (SCSU), 8-3

the style was there and i like that its only one level with many ways to get through it makes more sence competitively. the graphics are abit basic but i just loved how he popped his head in to hang from the rope. but really the movement is awful. If you cant pull off a walking animation then make him not have legs have wheels or somthing. it just looks nicer.

I don't know.
This seems to have the same failures of Mad Vlad. The level design is pretty good (even if it looks recycled from old projects), but everything else sort of sucks. The gameplay is repetitive and the difficulty kind of plateaus quickly. The character design is, again awful (but worse). If your going to have a character who slides down mossy vines, he should at least be aerodynamic, like Sonic, not an overstuffed Tin-Man.
What's with the voice acting? It sounds like a tiny man talking from inside a sink. It's like you don't want to be heard at all.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Wasn't bad but...
it wasn't great neither. I don't like 2 things, the first is the "play" button, took me almost a minute and several clicks to the add to realize where it was. The second one is the voice, sounds like it was recorded by someone who didn't wanted to wake up his parent in the night.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Way too simple. Also too short.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
its not the best
not all games are great
it was good grafix exept for sliding
if simple things is wat u do try to make an olimpics thing
in other words

The De La Ville Hotel, close to Riccione seafront, comprises an elegant Art Nouveau villa and a modern annex. Just a few steps from the famous Viale Ceccarini, the hotel envelops its guests in a truly unique atmosphere, with a beautiful mix of worldliness and relaxation. Staying near the seafront is always nice, but thanks to the quality of our facilities, this experience will become truly memorable.
Our family of 6 had a nice stay that suited us 100 % regarding the location. 4 minutes to the beach, 2 minutts to several restaurants and shopping facilities.
Near the train station. Countryside. Calm. Very limited Internet access.

Local middle school teacher wins award, teaches kids how to make movies
Christopher King, a media literacy teacher at Whitman Middle School, has just won not his first, not his second, but his third award in a row for screenwriting.
This year he won second place in the 2012 Pacific Northwest Writer's Association Literary Contest for his script, "The Tina Modotti Project," co-written with Mexican cinematographer Gabriel Beristain. In 2011, King won 2nd place for his script, "Little America," and in 2010 he won first place for "Jade."
Though King will never stop writing in any case, he said it is always nice to be recognized for his work. So far, he has only written screenplays, and has never delved much into short story or book form.
"I like writing, but I don't know if I have a novel in me. I think visually, it just comes more naturally to write in screenplay form," he said. "It probably stems from the fact that I started out as a camera person at a school."
King came up to Washington in 2007 to teach the TV Production/Media Literacy program at Whitman Middle School, a program which he made from scratch. It is one of few middle schools to offer any kind of video program, and King said it feeds directly into Ballard High School's video program, which has pushed many students out into a career for filmmaking.
King said he first started going to school for filmmaking mostly because he didn't like studying business, which he did in France. He always had an interest in film, he said, so he decided to transfer to American University to pursue what would become a lifelong passion.
One thing led to another in his life. He started out as a cameraman for Washington Independent Television as a stringer to cover various events at Capitol Hill and around Washington D.C. He became a part of many interesting events, he said, including marches on Washington and Senate meetings.
He got his first big break on the mini-series, "Winds of War," which was based on the book of the same name by Herman Wouk. He then spent a number of years in Los Angeles, working on sets, writing and teaching language arts for six years at a middle school.
It was then, at the behest of a friend, that he moved up to Seattle to teach media literacy at Whitman Middle School, both for a change of pace and for a chance to teach something closer to his own career, he said.
King's focus these days seems to be more on his middle school students, who have far surpassed his expectations of what he thought normal middle schoolers were capable of.
"I've been really surprised how media savvy they are coming in, and also how talented a lot of them are," he said. "Some of them are really, really good filmmakers. And they're only 14."
The webpage for the Whitman Middle School media literacy program is a testament to the success his students have seen as filmmakers. A long sprawling list of screenings and awards won at various festivals, including the Annual Young People's Film & Video Festival, Images of Youth Film Festival, Annual Middle School Media Fest and the FutureWave Shorts program in the Seattle International Film Festival. A selection of videos can be seen on the website as well.
King joked about how good some of his students were and expressed how sure he is that they will go on to be great filmmakers.
"I have no doubt that -- I'm thinking of a couple students in particular -- that one day … I'll probably be sending my script to them."
As for "The Tina Modotti Project," King paired up with Beristain, who has worked on such movies as S.W.A.T., Blade Trinity, The Ring 2 and There Be Dragons.
The film is based on the life of Tina Modotti, a photographer, actress and political activist who died in 1942 at the age of 46. Beristain came up with the idea and asked King to help write the screenplay, which they have fine-tuned for the past few years now.
"He's been wanting to do Tina Modotti's story forever. He knows everything about her," King said.
The film follows Modotti's life from when she became a photographer while in a relationship with Edward Weston, who was considered one of the great 20th century photographers, to when she became an involved activist as part of the Mexican Communist Party and then International Workers' Relief organizations -- and to the day she died.
King said that there is an important shift in Modotti's character when she becomes more politically involved and must decide whether to use her art for political means. One of her earlier photos, "White Roses" -- which looks exactly as it sounds -- sold for $200,000, King said. Her later works, however, showed a more politically-influenced streak.
The story is told in a nonlinear fashion, King said, starting on the day of Modotti's death and working through her story through conversation and flashbacks.
"We were trying to do something a little different by starting with her last day and going back and forth. and I think it works."
Because Modotti was an artist, art plays a big part in the movie, King said.
"It was a pretty magical time as far as art. During that time in Mexico art came to the streets and to the people, and that's when a lot of the famous muralists started working," he said. "Art was … not confined to museums."
King said that he believes the movie would have a dearth of good roles for women and that the role of Modotti would be an attractive role for actresses. When asked if he and Beristain had thought of anybody to fill the role of Modotti, they both agreed that Penelope Cruz would be good for the part. But at this point, King said, it's much too early to tell.
At the moment, King and Beristain are more concerned trying to secure funding for their film.
"The hard part is these days, trying to make a period piece like this is really, really a hard sale, because it just doesn't fall into the 12-15 year old male demographic."
Still, King said that he is hopeful that it will be picked up. If it is, it will be his first screenplay to turn into a movie, which is something he said he has always wanted to see.

Some baby foods worse than junk food: survey
LONDON (Reuters) - Some baby foods contain as much sugar and saturated fats as chocolate biscuits or cheeseburgers, a British food pressure group said on Monday.
Publishing results of a survey of more than 100 foods for babies and toddlers, the Children's Food Campaign said Farley's rusks were 29 percent sugar and some Cow & Gate toddler biscuits contained trans fats, which have been linked to heart disease.
"The results of this survey are staggering," said Christine Haigh, spokeswoman for the CFC.
"Many foods marketed for babies and young children are advertised as healthy. In reality, in terms of sugar and saturated fat content, some are worse than junk food."
The CFC survey found that 100g of Farley's Original Rusks, made by Heinz, contained 29g of sugar, more than that contained in the same weight of some chocolate digestive biscuits.
Heinz Toddler's Own Mini Cheese Biscuits contained 7.3g of saturated fat per 100g, more than the 6.7g in an equal weight piece of a McDonald's quarter pounder burger with cheese.
Cow & Gate, which makes a range of baby and toddler formula milks and foods, responded to the survey by halting production of its baby biscuits.
"In discussion with the Food Standards Agency we have already taken the decision to discontinue our baby biscuits, when we became aware of the presence of hydrogenated fat, which contains a very small amount of trans fats," a spokeswoman said.
Heinz defended its Farley's rusks as an "ideal weaning food for babies from around four months." Continued...

Medical Assistants:
Top Traits Needed In A Medical Assisting Career
By Len Simpson
Most of us have had the benefit of a medical assistant's work when visiting a clinic, or doctor's office. But have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to pursue medical assistant training as a career? There are key traits every medical assistant should have such as strong communication skills, empathy, dependability, stress tolerance, self-control, courtesy, integrity, attention to detail, and agility.
It might help to understand what exactly a medical assistant does before you can appreciate the traits required to become one. While clinical duties vary according to state law, medical assistants generally perform a mix of administrative and clinical duties, including scheduling appointments, billing and coding for insurance purposes, maintaining medical records, taking and recording vital signs, documenting medical histories, preparing patients for examination, drawing blood and administering medications as directed by a physician.
Medical Assistant Traits
Do you possess any of the below traits? The following common traits may make you think about a medical assistant careers choice in a new light:
Strong Communication Skills: Listening to others without interruption while still asking relevant questions is key to obtaining valuable information that may be helpful to the doctor. Good communication is also about sharing important physician instructions clearly with patients and answering any questions he or she may have.
Empathetic: It's not only being a good listener that is important to a medical assistant, but also understanding any concerns, joys, and other situations and experiences patients are sharing with you. This may help them feel more at ease during the appointment.
Dependability: The doctor, your health care team members and the patients all depend on you to be on time, know your job, and respect the accepted protocols.
Stress Tolerance: A busy doctor's office or clinic can get quite hectic. Patients come to your facility in need of care, and there will always be plenty of paperwork to maintain, all of which contributes to the chaos. The everyday stresses that all of these situations can cause requires a strong, tolerant person to effectively handle each and every one.
Self-Control and Courtesy: It's easy to react to a busy physician, or a frustrated patient who is in pain or full of questions, but having self-control of your own emotions and actions in a health care setting while remaining courteous is the mark of a true professional.
Integrity: In a health care environment, the information a medical assistant collects and has access to is privileged information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires discretion of patient health information, but it's also a courtesy to be respectful of any information you obtain from a patient, even in casual conversation. As a result, medical assistants are faced with moral and ethical situations every day. Integrity is paramount to being a good medical assistant.
Attention to Detail: By being alert and attentive to details, you will be better able to help your patients, assist the doctors caring for them, and aid your colleagues so they can do their jobs more effectively.
Agility: Possessing manual dexterity and visual acuity will be invaluable in the medical assisting field when performing medical procedures.
Typically, those interested in becoming a medical assistant enjoy helping people, teaching and talking with others. If any of these traits appeal to you, it is important to find the right medical assistant training program that will teach you hands-on techniques from experienced instructors.

We live in a society that constantly promotes and awards us for our various acts of doing. Outer accomplishments warrant praise. Rich insights that don't bare the fruit of material achievement usually go unnoticed. In the workplace, most companies primarily care about the end objective; how quickly and efficiently we produce the desired results in a cost-effective way. Our training teaches us to either brainstorm with others for the answers or be a lone wolf and forge the unchartered territories alone to become the revered hero.
The only problem with these two approaches is that they often lead to severe burnout, stress and loneliness.
Another option is always available, yet often ignored….the choice to be still and wait for your inner guidance to bring clarity of direction with your choices. Because most of us in Western culture are not taught as children to trust our inner directive (let alone the concept that we even have one), we tend not to trust that it's a credible resource for us to follow. I can't tell you how many people tell me how difficult it is for them to meditate. We're so quick to judge ourselves if we feel we're not getting it right! And it is these self-judgments that stop us from giving a steady meditative practice the time it takes to become a new habit.
It's ironic, because when we learn how to be still and allow the inner wisdom to guide us, it becomes a lot easier to catch our judgments as they surface. Yet, we need to give ourselves the repetitive practice of being still in order to trust our inner wisdom over our conditioned judgments. We need to remind ourselves that when we take the time to be still and listen, it's okay for surface thoughts to arise. The key is in not resisting them and allowing them to pass on through. In Buddhism, this is called the act of non-resistance, simply letting it be.
Imagine having complete permission and encouragement to take the time each day for moments of devoted stillness. Imagine being brilliantly acknowledged and rewarded for how deeply you listened and resourced that perfect inner directive.
If you trust enough to build this daily inner practice and give yourself the same level of commitment that you have to accomplishing your outer goals and achievements, your entire inner and outer landscape will begin to shift and you'll discover greater success than you've ever conceived imaginable; fueled by a rich sense of clarity, peace and wisdom.

These charming pink and cream Art Pottery baskets with woven ceramic handles nest together easily, one inside the other. They are marked with what I believe is "Made in USA" and then they are numbered starting with the smallest, 221, 222, 223. The marking is hard to read and I have done my best to photograph them so that you can view for yourself. I have not been able to identify the maker. They caught my eye at an auction and I knew that I would get them. I found them charming and enchanting. I know someone else will as well. The two smallest are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. The largest has one chip on the inside top just next to the handle. Starting with the largest the measurements are: 10 1/4" long, 7" wide and 5 1/2" tall; 7 1/4" long, 4 3/4" wide and 4" tall; 5" long, 3 1/4" wide and 3" tall. Flowers, fruit, Easter eggs, they would all look wonderful filling these baskets. They will be packed for shipping with great care.

Most people thought that the best gout cure was cherries, but they were wrong! The newest research is revealing a better solution for your gout symptoms. Though cherries do work and have been researched thoroughly, a new natural health treatment can make you feel like gout is a thing of the past.
Let me explain.
A Natural Gout Cure: Cherries
For many years, those red delicious cherries we all love have been thought to help control and decrease gout symptoms. Over 50 years ago a doctor named Ludwig Blau stated announced a cure for one of the oldest diseases known to man, gout. Dr. Blau suggested that eating about 8 cherries a day would cure gout.
Though many thought Blau discovered the cure for gout; he was wrong. Currently there is no cure for gout. However, modern research studies have shown that Blau was correct with his cherry remedy. We now know that cherries contain anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties that work in the same way NSAIDs do.
In other words, cherries work to reduce the inflammation that causes gout pain by reducing the uric acid that causes gout. And cherries are much better than NSAIDs because cherries cure the cause of gout. And NSAIDS only treat the symptoms (inflammation).
However, many gout sufferers have found that eating as many as 40 cherries isn't the most convenient remedy. And now researchers believe that cherries are not the only gout cure that works. read more

Dig to the prescribed level (proper solution) or add fill.
If you add fill, you may have to change the level of slad. If you add fill, you will have to sell the official on the idea of filling later to provide frost protection and keeping your wood far enough the finished grade.

Rena Filstar XP3 review - compared to Eheim
Ok, this is opening a door for flame wars (not intended), but I wanted to throw my comparison out there, since I've always owned Eheim, but bought a Rena XP3 recently. Just got one of these yesterday and wanted to write a quick review, but didn't see an actual review section, so here goes.
Upon opening the box, I noticed the large size of the actual canister. It was actually larger than I expected (not a bad thing!) and a good 2-3" taller(but narrower) than my Eheim 2026. The plastic is cheaply made, that is obvious, but it's functional so I have no complaints. I actually broke one of the clips for the suction cups when I was putting it together, something I never did with any Eheim product (own or have owned 3 Eheim canisters).
The housing/impeller assembly seems solid. Not as solid as the one on my Eheim Pro II, but its also less than 1/2 the price. The smaller parts all came in a shrink-wrapped styrafoam box, which didn't seem necessary and was kind of a pain to unveil, but it serves its purpose. I like the semi-transparent look of the canister. I was expecting the solid, light blue color that the other Rena filters I've seen have been. This makes it easier to see the media and determine if things are flowing effectively, etc.. So, kudos to that design idea. The hoses are kind of a clear-bluish/transparent color, which is better than the Eheim tubes IMO, as they are not as much of an eyesore. I also like that the spraybar has many parts to customize it to your liking and/or application. The 3 media baskets contain a large storage capacity. It came with several different sponges of various size pores, but no actual media. That was ok, as I used filter floss and leftover "cocoa puff" balls from my Eheim media. This seems to be working quite well.
Overall, the filter seems very solid and well-enough made. It's not an Eheim, but as the age-old comparison goes, its like comparing a BMW to a Honda Civic. Both are good cars and will get you where you need to go, but the BMW is simply better made and looks nicer.
But, hey, for $89 + shipping, I'm not complaining. I would recommend this filter to anyone not willing to shell out a lot of $$ for a decent canister filter and/or someone looking for good horsepower(gph), as this one delivers.
I can't say I'm overly impressed as you get what you pay for, but I'm sure it will work fine. It's also not as loud as the reviews led me to believe. It's louder than the Eheim, but still pretty quiet.
True there hasn't been any written reviews on the XP3, but I know there are some comparisons on them.
I own the Rena FilStar XP3 and the Eheim Pro II 2128. Both are rated for about the same size tank, with the exception that the Eheim has a built in heater. I use an ETH201 200 watt inline heater with the XP3.
1. The XP3 hoses were not as rigid as the Eheim hoses, so I replaces them (XP3) with the Eheims. Since the hoses remained behind and under the tank, the color of them didn't matter.
2. Except for the filter pads and flosses, I didn't use the media available for the XP3. I had some left over media from my 2128, so I used the excess Eheim media to fill the baskets in the XP3. Strangely, the amount I had was more than enough to fill all the baskets of the XP3, using the same media configuration as the 2128. I know the excess media is not enough to fill the baskets of the 2128, but was enough to fill the XP3.
3. The XP3 is noisier compared to the 2128. Both filters are being used on my 125 gallon tank. Both filters are next to each under, in an enclosed cabinet. If I turn off the XP3 and let the 2128 run, I cannot tell it is running, unless I bring my ear close to the filter. If I turn off the 2128 and let the XP3 running, I can definitely tell the filter is running, even from a distance.
4. The XP3 appears to have a faster GPH than the 2128, but I do notice that the XP3 does slow down faster when it clogs. I often compared it as Torque (Eheim Pro II 2128) vs. HP (FilStar XP3). Although the XP3 has faster flow rate, the 2128 appears to keep the same constant flow as the pads collects detritus.
5. The casing on the XP3, as you mentioned, does appear not to be as sturdy as the Eheim, which doesn't really appear to be a major difference.
I don't own the Eheim and therefore shouldn't post but two things come to mind:
1. The XP3 is not unacceptably loud, in fact I don't notice it whatsoever. I wouldn't consider noise a problem.
2. Build quality meets my expectations and is superior to the products I've previously run into. I've not used Eheim before as they're generally $300+ for a decent sized filter in Canada.
3. The XP3 plugs almost instantly in my tank. To be honest it drives me asbolutely raving mad...I can't really communicate it here. But within 48 hours the things slows down to a crawl nowhere near adequate for a 125 gallon.
I had an XP3, but the slight--yes slight buzz still drove me nuts. Underneath a stand it seemed to become amplified even more (wierd, but that was the sense I felt).
Pros: quick disconnect, hoses were fine, spraybar was fine, power was great for the cost (no big issues with clogging).
Cons: I classify it as noisy COMPARED to an Eheim 2213 or 2224 or 2026. Water leaking out of the motorhead at the junction of where the powercord enters/exits the unit--replaced original and second one did the same thing. I thought it was a hazard so...
scrapped it and got an Eheim 2213...dead silent and haven't looked back since. All three Eheims I have/had never leaked where it wasn't supposed to.
The XP3 is good for the cost...and like ringram mentioned, its like comparing a BMW with a Ford Escort.
I've never had problems with Eheims, but I really hope that my XP3 doesn't leak like yours did. The only Eheim issue I've had is with my Eheim 2222, which is ~ 2 yrs old. One of the clamps that holds the hoses secure to the filter is broken. No big deal, since they stay on well enough without it. It was also leaking recently, but I discovered that it was because one of the rubber "feet" on the bottom came off. This is kind of poor design if the rubber feet keep it from leaking on the bottom. Still a rock solid filter though.
I'm not quite sure what the "jet" is on the XP3 spraybar. It doesn't look like it's pushing any water, so I'm wondering what the purpose is. I constructed my spraybar to include this, but it doesn't appear to do anything. The water simply comes out of the spraybar holes.
I've bought and XP1 and just a couple weeks ago got a XP3 and both came with the media.
There is a faint hum with the XP3 but I only notice it late at night when the TV and everything else is off.
I like that the outflow assembly is very customizeable, I personally use the jet instead of the the spray bar.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you only prime the filter once when you first install it and then you just use the lever to disconnect.
I also really like that all the the inflow and outflow parts have different colors and have really simple arrow diagrams where the hoses connect with the filter.
And of course, gotta love the price! Got the XP3 and media, shipping included, for $100.
I ordered an XP3 a few days ago, should be here Monday. I sure hope it isn't to loud. I searched the web for reviews, I hope I did the right thing!
The only thing I can say is the price was right.
I have an XP3 and a 2026. I know the rating would seem like the XP3 should be more comparable to the 2028 but after its packed with media and slows a bit I beleive it is very close to the 26.
Some of my opinions are:
The Eheim is definately quiter, hands down. The XP3 though is quiet enough that its almost unnoticable. Most powerheads are noiser than my XP3 it seems.
Negatives - The Eheim seems to have trouble priming after cleaning the canister (see my other thread) but I am thinking this is because of the turbo twist capturing air. My XP3 has never lost prime since the day I installed it. I also think the mechaincal pad with the eheim is way to course, and the ceramic cylinders dont seem to do much. Pretty much everthing is caught by the final fine pad. I may have to try some custom filter pads. And the shape isnt ideal for cutting your own whereas the XP3 is perfectly square. I do like the filter pads in the XP3 but the medium pads seem to be a bit to fine and clog a bit quicker than I'd like. Also the green intake and spray bar kinda seemed like a joke... but mine came with additional intake and spraybar set, which were pretty good. Sometimes with the XP3 I worry that the disconnect lever operates to easily. For example when I am putting the filter back in place in the cabinent after a cleaning i worry the hose assembly might get caught behind it and the level pressed back so it starts dumping water, never happend yet but something I think about every time I do it. I should just come up with something I can hang the assembly on out of the way when manuevering the unit back in place.
My xp3 hose release/siphon lock is very firm, no chance of it accidentally releasing, if it did it would be open and the siphon locked closed? Am I missing something?
If your refering to what I posted then I am talking about the lever opening and dumping water out of the hoses when its not attached to the canister. Its not like there loose or anything, but pretty easy, and I am overeacting.
Edit> since this post has been resurrected I will make a correction. I never realized the level actually locks off when removed, no chance of accidentally releasing the water flow when its off the canister. Silly me. :icon_redf
I recently switched my 125 setup from an AC500 and XP3 with a 2028 to FX5 and the 2028.
I have pretty much the same experience as most users here. I don't like the spraybar and intake setup of the XP3, and I found that the flow rate in it slowed much quicker than my 2028. I think it has to do with the prefiltering of the ceramic noddles in the 2028 (whatever Eheim calls that stuff). I pretty much had to clean my XP3 3 times for every 2 times I cleaned my 2028. Could be because of higher initial flow rate, or it could be the way the filter media flow is designed.
Yes, it was louder than my 2028, but much quieter than my FX5. :D
I have since sold my AC500, but have kept my XP3. I think it's a great filter for the money, but it's in that territory of not cheap enough to be really cheap, but not high quality enough when you compare to Eheims. At full retail, it's tough to swallow the cost of Eheim, but you know what? I love it.
If I had 5 or 6 tanks in the 75 gallon range, there would be no doubt that I would be getting more XP3's, especially if they are in a fish room. However, for my measley 2 tanks, I'll stick with my Eheim and FX5 (and a Fluval 204 which I eventually hope to replace with an Eheim classic.
I got an XP3 bargain priced during a PetSmart promotion.
It will take a little getting used to after my Fluval 205,
but I am very pleased with my purchase thus far.
I do have one observation aimed at other XP3 owners:
My XP3 makes a intermittent water trickling noise.
It also makes a low humming noise, like a tiny fan.
I've turned the canister every which way to get as
much air out as possible, but that does not help any.
It does not matter if the flow is restricted or on full,
or at what height the canister is relative to my tank,
or how many minutes I wait till turning it back on.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a problem,
or just something I'll have to learn to live with.
my Fluval 205 is so quiet - I often doubt it's even on,
but to be fair my XP3 is moving twice as much water.
Ugh, why didn't I see this post yesterday during double bonus points days? I was searching for a review on whether to replace my XP3 with an Eheim 2026.
I have an XP3 that I had on another tank and is in storage and I was debating on whether to get a new Eheim. I filled and plugged in the XP3 and it still worked and I have other things on my wish list so I ended up not ordering the Eheim (but you guys are making me wonder...)
Spypet, did you check the gasket on the lid? check for anyplace that may not be completely sealed. Yes, remembering when it was in commision that clogging can be an issue, but get a good sponge pre-filter on it and it'll be a lot easier to maintain. Never had an issue of losing water from the hoses, even if I wanted it to empty for storage! Had to connect it to the top while it was off the filter to finally get the hoses to drain!
I've had my XP3 run in less than ideal conditions (like not enough head space to the top of the aquarium) and it did fine. Again I have to agree with it needing to be cleaned more often though (but that means it's doing its job right?) Very easy to clean and put back into operation. I was intimidated about cleaning my Fluval FX5 and didn't clean it for a few months, always remembered to clean the XP3 because it had to be cleaned!
OK, still got in the last few hours of double bonus days and ordered the Eheim 2026 :). We'll see if it is all that you guys say. Of course it being so quiet may not mean much if I run a sponge filter too?
I purchased 2 xp3's when Petsmart was running their special ($75.00 each). I was also worried about the noise after reading these reviews. After setting up the 2 I had bought I noticed that these filters hardly make any noise at all!! Actually I have to put my ear up to the filters to hear them running. These filters are great!! Easy to clean, lots of room for media, quite, hold their syphon, and priced very well.
I was in the car parts business for 10 years. So believe me when I say that you can purchase a Mercedes Benz and get a lemon too.

The following letters appeared in the April 23 edition of The Sandy Post:
Ride-along was eye-opening
More than a month ago there was an article in the Sandy Post that asked for volunteers to ride with officers of the Sandy Police Department. I do not live within the city limits but on the outskirts of Sandy, but I still had a desire to see for myself what the Sandy police did on a daily basis, since I shop and support this community that is the Gateway to Mount Hood.
I met up with Officer Manny Herrera at the Sandy police station that is next door to the library. The first thing I experienced was a tour of the police station. I was surprised to learn that the dispatcher of this station was located in Oregon City and that all arrests by the Sandy Police Department were transported to Oregon City.
I am sure many citizens like myself picture the Sandy police just giving out speeding tickets and nothing else. But that was far from the truth.
According to Officer Manny, giving out tickets is only about 15 percent of their job. During that nighttime four-hour period riding in Manny's patrol car, we ran the gamut from checking out drivers driving without headlights, to an outstanding warrant suspect hiding from police, to a neighbor complaining about their driveway being blocked, all the way to a lady taking her own life and leaving a 5-month-old baby.
That suicide was very hard on me to see a life being taken by a 30-year-old lady. A chaplain came out to the house to comfort both the husband and family.
I want to thank both Officers Herrera and KT Taylor for being out there on the night shift to protect and serve our community and the surrounding area. Without them and thousands of other men and women in the police force, we could not sleep well at night.
I strongly urge others to sign up for this volunteer program and see what goes on behind the scenes at the Sandy Police Department.
What's that about?
I was driving up to Mount Hood last weekend and noticed a huge number of trees, including old-growth trees, cut down in anticipation of widening the freeway. There are literally miles of trees seemingly cut down overnight.
I hadn't seen anything written about this. Did anyone else notice?
Editor's note: The cut trees are part of the Oregon Department of Transportation's Wildwood to Wemme road widening/safety project, which we've written about from time to time. Keep reading to hear more information as it develops.
Responses and questions
First I would like to thank Sandy Officer Jason Coates for his quick action on the missing wallet of my mother. Thank you!
Next, my thanks to Hollis MacLean-Wenzel for her near admittance that I was right in saying that Joe's Donuts is one of Sandy's most well-known attractions. Thank you!
Third, what has happened to the City Council answering my questions about the water supply for Sandy?
With all the new houses being built in Sandy, that shortens the life of the current water supply. And that is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Maybe what the city needs to do is have a citizens' committee look into the best course of action to take and report back to the council and public.
'Moral bankruptcy' will close clinic
Your April 9 article 'County to close Sandy Health Clinic' really struck home with me, largely because it roughly coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
In one of his memorable speeches, King stated - and I am paraphrasing - that any society that places militarism above the social needs of its people is a society that is morally bankrupt. The connection in all of this is not difficult to apprehend.
Because of the billions of dollars that are going every week into a lost occupation in Iraq, the federal treasury has commensurately less funds to devote to health care. This deficiency is passed down to the state, county and city levels, resulting in things like closed health clinics.
This is especially unfortunate for the hundreds of local residents who solely depend on this clinic for basic health maintenance services.
It is imperative that we demand more from our next administration and Congress as well as the president. People deserve better.
Smith's feeling the heat
Interesting that in a recent Sandy Post op-ed piece, Sen. Gordon Smith portrays himself as the champion of his constituents' pocketbooks as a result of his 'role' in the income stimulus program.
Perhaps the senator is feeling the heat being applied in his re-election race by Steve Novick and Jeff Merkley. Where has Smith been on the issues of the Patriot Act, tax cuts for the super rich or the abridgment of our Constitution?
I look at a candidate's actions more than his self-serving posturing, and for me, Steve Novick is my hands-down choice for Oregon's next U.S. senator.

Hart Conservatives' grip on the district has loosened after two top Tories were dumped off the council following a day of high drama at the election count on Friday (May 23).
Gavin Evans, cabinet member for Fleet, and Jonathan Glen, cabinet member for the environment, have both lost their seats on the new-look council, which has been slimmed down following a boundary review.
The council has been cut from 18 wards down to 11 and the number of councillors has been reduced by two to 33.
As a result, residents in each ward were given three votes, a change which led to the downfall of both Conservative councillors.
Independent Robert Leeson won Hook ward with 1,406 votes, followed by Tories Mike Morris (1,215) and Brian Burchfield (1,143), leaving Mr Glen, who has represented the ward since May 1991, trailing in fourth place with 1,134 votes.
Meanwhile, Mr Evans was dumped off Fleet Central after the Community Campaign Hart (CCH) won all three seats on the ward.
Mr Lesson, 58, who has lived in Hook for 25 years, said: "I'm surprised and humbled but it obviously shows the depth of feeling of the people of Hook and Rotherwick about the issues we are facing, predominantly the pressure for new development. It's not about no development but it has got to be balanced and proportionate around the district."
Dermot Smith, Mr Leeson's election agent, added: "He's completely wiped the floor with them because he stood on a platform that if you think you can dump all the houses on Hook then you can think again."
Conservative group leader Stephen Parker said: "We knew it was going to be a challenge in Hook because the planning issue is a big problem and causing a lot of concern.
"I am extremely sad that we have lost such a very able and experienced councillor in Jonathan Glen.
"We are left with the Conservatives as still the largest single party on the council. We've got 14 against 19 'others'.
"What we've done over the past few years is run the council on a co-operative basis and worked together on the key issues and I hope we can continue to do that. There will be lots of discussions over the next few days."
Lib Dem group leader David Neighbour said: "We are delighted that we have retained all our seats and with increased majorities.
"We are grateful that the people of Yateley and Blackwater have kept their faith in us and it's now up to us not to let them down.
"All the parties will now have to put their thinking caps on and decide how they can best represent Hart."
CCH leader James Radley added: "In the last two years no one party has had an absolute majority, which has fostered an atmosphere of co-operation and joint working and has worked for the benefit of the council and the residents. Personally I'm pleased that it looks as if we can move forward in a similar spirit."

High on a windswept Northumbrian moor, within raiding distance of the Scottish border, sits a lonely farmstead, appropriately named Coldtown. The main dwelling, a stone and slate early-Victorian farmhouse, has been Tony and Anne Pender's family home for the past 16 years.
Despite the wicked winds that sweep down across the moors, Tony and Anne have barely heated it for the past five years, both because of the prohibitive cost of running an oil-fired Aga and because they are concerned about the quantities of fossil fuels they are burning. This spartan approach has worried their son, Richard, as Tony and Anne, now in their seventies, are beginning to be vulnerable to the cold. Sympathetic to his parents' desire to stay in one of England's last utterly wild places, Richard, a master's student at Newcastle University, decided to help them build a new home close to the old farmhouse.
Although the site is within the boundary of the small settlement of farmhouse and two cottages, its wildly rural setting on the edge of the Northumberland National Park made planning difficult. This was further complicated by the rare neighbouring Grade II listed ancient Bastle – a fortified dwelling with upstairs living quarters and downstairs livestock area, where farmers could retreat when threatened by marauding rustlers.
With advice from local land agents Smiths Gore (smithsgore.co.uk) and architects Mawson Kerr (mawsonkerr.co.uk), the Penders took the unusual step of applying for permission under what is known in current planning guidance as Paragraph 55. This section of planning policy is a direct descendant of what architects call Gummer's Law, which allows homes to be built in open countryside as long as they are "outstanding" in design. This exception was widely interpreted to favour grand country houses and was criticised for allowing the construction of vast neoclassical pastiches in the early days and, later, when in 2004 the Labour government amended the guidance in favour of innovative design, super-modern "spaceship" houses. The then planning minister Keith Hill, however, still followed the spirit of Gummer's Law, stating that any homes built under the exception would be ones that "our future generations will be proud of" and that "people will want to visit in 100 years".
The Penders' home, which recently won permission, may well be one that future generations will be proud of – it is carbon negative and the majority of its materials are either renewable or reused – but it may not be receiving queues of visitors in 100 years, as does nearby Alnwick Castle. A modest three-bedroom, two-storey home, the former's barnlike design means it blends in with, rather than stands out from, its surroundings. Its "outstanding" qualities, argues Jo Robison from Smiths Gore, are that the "environmental impact of the building will be exceptionally low and its innovative construction technique will be the first of its kind in Northumberland".
This "Brettstapel" technique, used on the continent, employs deep timber planks from low-grade Sitka spruce growing in nearby Kielder, pinned with hardwood dowels that clamp together as the Sitka dries out. The thickness of the wood will give the house high thermal mass, contributing to its "Passivhaus" levels of energy efficiency and earning the house its name, Shawm – Northumbrian meaning "to warm oneself". Like the neighbouring Bastle, the living quarters will be upstairs. Thus house design comes full circle, this time dictated by energy efficiency – cooler downstairs bedrooms and warmer upstairs living quarters – rather than the need to protect occupants from kilted raiders.
Another green and modest yet beautiful Paragraph 55 house, to be completed later this year, is architect David Liddicoat's Thousand Trees House in Essex woodland (liddicoatgoldhill.com). "It's such a modest size – just five bedrooms – that we were worried it wouldn't get through," says David. "What makes it exceptional is the way it sits within its landscape." With timber construction and a curved sculpted roof, the house almost becomes part of the wood, like a walnut burr, rather than dominating the landscape the way previous Gummer's Law homes did.
Both houses reflect a sea change in the way planners are interpreting guidance. Out goes enormous and brash and in comes modest and sustainable. These homes reflect the zeitgeist just as other beautiful country houses did in their time, from William Morris's Arts and Crafts movement to "Capability" Brown's harmonious marriage of architecture and landscape.
Rules for new buildings
Under Paragraph 55 the design of a new building should:
Be truly outstanding or innovative
Reflect the highest standards in architecture
Significantly enhance its immediate setting
Be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area
*Richard will be blogging about Shawm as the project proceeds, at projectsustainablehome.wordpress.com/

Check out the headlines HERE:
Jackson Browne and surviving members of the Eagles will be on hand to offer a musical tribute to Glenn Frey at the Grammys on Feb. 15.
Jackson Browne's 14th album, 'Standing in the Breach,' will be released on Oct. 7.
The new Jackson Browne tribute album is well worth a listen.
Given the glut of tribute records released over the past couple of decades, it seems impossible that Jackson Browne hasn't gotten one yet -- but that oversight will be corrected on April 1, when an all-star assemblage of musicians comes together for the double-disc set 'Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne.'
The mid-to-late '80s found Jackson Browne drifting away from the confessional folk-rock balladry of his early years and into more politically charged material, much to a portion of his fanbase's despair. But for his 10th album, 'I'm Alive,' he had more personal concerns in mind.
As Jackson Browne prepared to release his sixth studio album, the singer-songwriter was at the peak of his pop success. His previous LP, 1980's 'Hold Out,' was Browne's first (and only) album to hit #1 on the Billboard charts. Plus, he had scored his biggest hit single with 1982's 'Somebody's Baby,' featured on the soundtrack to 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High.'
"Live", 'Live', 'Live' , it appears a major portion of June is 'live album' month with the new goods being released whether it's by design or by accident, I'm not really sure.
Tom Petty, John Fogerty and Jackson Browne joined Randy Newman onstage last night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The four veteran rockers, who all live in Los Angeles, opened the show at the city's Nokia Theater with a version of Newman's 1983 song 'I Love L.A.'
Earlier today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced a new round of presenters and performers who will take the stage at the 2013 induction ceremony on Thursday, April 18. Legendary rockers Jackson Browne and John Fogerty have been added to the evening's star-studded performance roster.

The glorious 4.7 inch display produces vibrant colors, but might possibly only support 800 x 480 pixels and it has a relatively low pixel density of 198 ppi. Critics see this as a missed opportunity to pack in higher resolutions. This means that you needs to zoom in line with view finer details despite its huge screen. It also comes with a 1.5 GHz single-core processor, which obviously makes it seem inferior to other models with dual-core cpus.
