Jerry's View: Salmon Creek was perfect for raising kids
Just off Ambaum Boulevard, at 124th St, I bought a house in 1957. It had a long gravel drive at the end of 14th SW with an open view of Puget Sound over the tops of the trees that make up the Salmon Creek ravine. The yard was the gateway to exploration of a verdant forest. Our boys set about seizing territory like Alexander the Great.
To those school age kids, this was Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and a little bit of Lord of the Flies. Nobody died, that I know of, down in that ravine but they sure had quite an adventure.
A slightly overgrown, switchback trail led down the steep incline, 20 feet, to a more gentle slope for about 300 yards. The leafy brush struggled to grow among the Madrona, Alder and fir trees of this mostly damp ground where the confluences of several runoff creeks formed one larger creek they aptly named "Robinson Creek", reasoning that they did not see a sign in their investigation and certainly never consulted a map. And this was all on the first day!
Subsequent trips to this newly gained land helped improve their cardiovascular condition, mostly on the way back up but their hearts must have raced a bit when they discovered a pump house 5ft by 5ft and roughly as tall as a man, that had been built over the creek when Joe Burke owned the property in the 30's.
Near the pump house they found enough debris to slightly dam up the flow. Building dams is a rite of passage for young boys. In the process of construction they found small fingerling trout in the swirling pools. The trout were slippery as eels, wriggling in their small hands. The stream fed into the newly built Salmon Creek sewer treatment plant.
The actual Salmon Creek runs slightly north of the plant with a much, much larger flow as much as 6 feet across. It originates from near Hicklin Lake up near Evergreen High School, flowing south and west underneath Ambaum Boulevard with its piped outflow adjacent to the Schick Shadel Hospital. From there it meanders west washing out into Puget Sound near Standring Ln. In the 30's fishermen claimed to use pitchforks to stab Salmon as far up as Ambaum.
The boys did not spend much time around Salmon Creek, but often walked the access road up and down from Puget Sound.
The house had an expansive front yard with a lone Maple tree about 20 feet tall. The yard was a second playground after the trail to Robinson Creek.
Flat and mostly square, it was the scene of many football games, snowball fights and judo demonstrations.
The Maple tree may still be there and if it is, it should still have a scuff mark around 6 feet off the ground where I zigged instead of zagging, clipping the trunk with my right ear. I hit the ground bleeding while the kids looked for body parts stuck in the bark. This may explain why I am hard of hearing today.
There was hardly any grass for the football field in that yard as Ken often took his pet horse Billie out of the barn I built and rode him around the yard showing visitors what cute tricks he could do. The horse could count to ten with his front hoof, which even Ken could not. Billy was smart but never apologized for messing up the front lawn with road apples.
He also figured out how to open his barnyard gate and create havoc with the neighbor's garden patch. The horse,...not Ken.
I was glad when Ken sold him until I found a Chevy transmission under his bed. Now he was into autos and spent many hours hanging out at filthy Phil's wrecking yard in White Center.
That front yard was also the arena for one particular touch football game with one of my old friends taking a side. On a pitch-out the friend raced around the right end, failing to negotiate the precipitous edge enough to avoid literally "flying" off the front of the yard, down 20 feet into the brambles. That is the reason for the chain link fence I installed the next Spring.
The yard was also a private park. Sleep-outs on the lawn were common where the boys stared at the heavens, hoping for a million dollars. If they could wish it, while seeing a shooting star. Sleeping was secondary to everything else. New P.F. Flyer tennis shoes were perfect for nightly excursions.
On those warm summer nights, those bags were mostly empty until near 2 a.m. They later told me they skulked around the neighborhood, ducking headlights from passing cars. They climbed fruit trees to pick a night's cache for their bellies. One by one the neighbor's house lights went out. Their path aided slightly by the lone street lamp on the corner.
Thoughts of going down to Robinson Creek at night were simply not tolerated. Dark lives there, along with assorted monsters of the ravine. Even a double-dog dare would not be honored regarding that place. It was a day visit only and even then it often felt like secret eyes were following them along their way.
By 2 a.m. their internal batteries were depleted. They nestled into sleeping bags. I came out at 7 a.m. on my way to the office. I nudged their warm bodies with my shiny wing-tip shoe, beckoning them to seize the day, never realizing they had seized the night just hours earlier.

That is just about the top limit for me. I live in Florida and wear shorts pretty much year around. Pocket carry is what I do. If the particular shorts I'm wearing print with my P11 I switch to my BG380. Compact for concealed carry means diffferent things to different folks. If you always belt carry, then weight probably doesn't mean much to you. Since I pocket carry, weight is everything to me.

A Seasonal Guide to Healthy Eating
Commemorating 50 years of School Lunch
10 minutes
Serves: 1
1. With a sharp paring knife, slice the top and bottom part of the orange off, so that the orange can sit flat on either end. Carve the remaining orange skin off, starting at the top of the orange, carving your way down around the shape of the orange, eliminating the skin and white pithy part, exposing just the fruit.
2. When all the skin is removed, cut the orange into sections by making incisions at each section of the orange, letting them drop into a small bowl. Squeeze the remaining orange juice over the orange sections.
3. Squeeze the tangerine, and pour juice over the orange pieces.
Nutrients per serving
1 piece
Make a healthy snack after school at home. Try "winter reindeer." Spread peanut butter on whole wheat bread triangles. Make eyes and nose with raisins. Use twisted pretzels as antlers. Enjoy.

Friends, Neighbors, Citizens of Southeast Local:
Tomorrow will fall how it falls. I just hope everybody seeks the right information in the future of our district. Our board is not a corrupt Chicago style back room doors closed board of education. Each one of them have been honest and upfront with us.
The fact that our union voluntary took a pay freeze says something about them. They are doing something. It may not be the fullest you want to see, but it proves they are making an attempt.
I applaud the SE Board of education. It has been my position that while I don't agree with every single move made, I support them. I support their commitment to our community by waiting to come to us until it was needed. I support their track record of stretching a 5 year levy into 13. Again, name me 5 schools in the state of Ohio that has done that? I doubt you can do that.
Friends, This board, School System, and Union are not corrupt. If you have taken to time to truly get to know these people, you would have understood that. Say what you want about the state and federal levels, this is not about that. This is about OUR community, OUR District.
Tomorrow, we will go to the polls and decide on our own terms. I urge you to consider the facts that we will still be one of the lowest tax districts in the county. I urge you to think about the small class sizes that I, and many of you enjoyed. The Science is there, smaller classes improve learning experience.
We can't afford this levy. My family will make even more cuts to our budget. But we can't afford to not pass this levy. The devastation that the three communities losing their school will be tremendous. I do not want that.
We all must make a choice on our own income and our own budgets. We will decide the future of Southeast Local Tomorrow.
Pass or fail, expect the board of education's track record of spending what they have to continue.It is the law.
If this passes, take a moment to think about when we do emerge from this economic downturn (which we will, history tells us that), we will be a stronger community. Stronger property values. People will want to move into our district because of our school system. We will again be the district other schools look to and ask "how do they do it?"
If it fails, think about the impact on Mt. Eaton, Fredericksburg, and Holmesville. The school is the staple of these communities. They are great people! I love going to these community because of the diversity! But take a moment to consider the impact on the village. The villages will lose tax revenue, forcing them to come back to you, the voters, asking for a tax increase. It won't be as large as 7 mills, or will it? The future of these communities is unknown with a failure of this levy.
We can vote For Issue 2/7, and know we need to come up with X Amount extra, or we can vote Against, and while saving us the burden of a tax increase in 2011, who knows what will happen to our 4 communities.
I like to know what is going to happen, good or bad.
Vote For Southeast Local Schools. Vote a path that we can all walk together into a lighted road of education for our future generations. Please do not lead our district down that road into the darkness.

Income protection and redundancy
Income protection insurance provides up to 75% of your salary should you become ill or injured and are unable to work. It is also generally tax deductible.
Generally speaking, the income protection policies available in the Australian market, including the policies we compare, do not cover redundancy or involuntary unemployment.
However select insurance companies have certain income protection insurance policies available which offer a benefit which may cover your mortgage for a certain period of you are made redundant.
- Commonwealth Bank Redundancy
- OnePath Unemployment Benefit
- Be wary of income protection which includes redundancy!
- What does Income Protection cover?
- Protect your lifestyle & loved ones with income protection
Commonwealth Bank Redundancy Insurance
CommInsure, the Commonwealth Bank's (CBA) insurance division, offers an unemployment benefit as part of their income protection cover. CBA's income protection redundancy benefit pays 1/30th of your monthly benefit for each day of unemployment if:
- You were made involuntarily unemployed
- You have a loan with the Commonwealth Bank
- You were employed for at least 180 consecutive days prior to unemployment
- You remain unemployed for at least 60 consecutive days
The benefit will cease being paid when:
- You no longer have a loan
- When you become employed again
- When the benefit has been paid for 3 months.
- If you receive a TPD, terminal illness, trauma or other benefit under an income protection policy or any other insurance policy
- The policy ends
- The cover expiry date is reached
- If you pass away
OnePath Unemployment Benefit
OnePath, the insurance, investment and superannuation division of the ANZ Bank, offers an Unemployment Benefit as part of its OneCare policy.
The Unemployment Benefit pays your minimum loan repayments on home, investment, business, personal or margin lending loans from the ANZ Bank. It pays a maximum of $5,000 per month for a maximum of three months.
- Loan must be with ANZ
- You must become involuntarily unemployed
- You must remain unemployed for at least 30 days
- You must be registered with an employment agency and be seeking work
- You must have been employed for at least six consecutive months prior to unemployment
You can only make one claim under this benefit every 12 months and a maximum of three claims over the life of the policy.
Be wary of income protection which includes redundancy!
If there is any type of insurance which offers to fully protect you against unemployment or redundancy, it is often too good to be true and they generally often come with a number of criteria:
- Only available if you aged 18 – 60
- Only available if you are working at least 20 hours per week
- Your policy must be in force for at least 6 months before you can claim
- You must be out of work for at least 28 days
- You must have been employed for at least 6 consecutive months
If your unemployment is a result of sickness or injury, poor job performance, the loss of qualifications or license, seasonal employment, voluntary redundancy, contract ending, the completion of a task or project then the benefit will not be paid. Also if you are working less than 20 hours per week you will not be covered.
What does Income Protection cover?
Income protection covers up to 75% of your income if you are unable to work due to a sickness or accident. It allows you to recover without having to worry about your salary and receive an income to help with paying your day to day living expenses, mortgage or rental payments and other costs.
Protect your lifestyle & loved ones with income protection
Contact ComparingExpert to discuss your income protection needs or to receive free income protection quotes. If you need money to cover your expenses during extended leave from work due to sickness or injury, you can bridge the gap with Income Protection Insurance, rather than redundancy insurance or unemployment insurance. The funds from income protection cover can help pay for bills and living expenses.

Fox News' Chief Political Operative Reveals Pressure To Create Anti-Obama Panels
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Frank Luntz is blaming Fox News for pressuring him to create focus groups that The Los Angeles Times called "laughably tilted against" President Obama:
Luntz defends himself by saying that he has conducted focus groups before that favored Obama, including during the 2008 campaign. He has suggested that his airtime has previously been cut on Fox because his findings didn't comport with the outlet's orthodoxy.
You read that right: segments run by a GOP political operative--who was dubbed the Republican Party's "word doctor" -- leaned too left for Fox News.
Message received. As a frequent contributor to Fox News, Luntz promotes the best messages for Republican politicians and Tea Party protesters. In fact, Luntz coined Politifact's 2010 lie of the year -- "government takeover of health care" -- a lie that was fully embraced and repeatedly promoted by Fox News.
Luntz isn't just any political operative; he's Fox News' chief political operative, helping Fox News campaign for Republican candidates and develop talking points to aid the GOP.
And an effective one at that: Luntz's "focus groups" frequently parrot Fox News' talking points. It's no wonder why Fox keeps inviting him back.

The new WordPress theme submission requirements will want common shortcodes to be placed into plugins rather than themes. I guess it seems useful then to discuss what would be best in a common shortcode plugin for all (or most) theme creators. Are there any existing solutions that are popular? Are there any which support Bootstrap 3?
Yes, I've looked through the WordPress plugins database myself. But if Envato's goal is to increase data portability between themes, it makes sense to talk about what ThemeForest authors want themselves. Which solutions do you think could act as the basis for a common shortcodes plugin? What requirements are important to you (Bootstrap 2/3, jQueryUI support, any other useful UI frameworks)? Would it be better to seek a mega-plugin or to create a series of plugins for each functionality, with a common integration architecture and usage interface?
(And yes, I'm new here. I'm working on my first theme and would like to do it right.)

UK, The Independent: "Head Had Sex With Student In Library"
Is that not allowed or is sex only allowed in the Teacher Lounge?
Denmark, Copenhagen Post: "Danes Drink Too Much"
Is that a complaint or boast?
Australia, Sydney Morning Herald: "Sex Part Of Nurse's Duty"
I am really up for this one.
USA, Sign: We Sell Bores Meat"
I guess if you are not boring, it is vegetables and potatoes.
South Africa, Argus: "President Zuma Visits Hospital"
I guess he wanted to put out the fire in the station.
Canada, Toronto Star: "Armed Robber Nets $6 From 11 Robberies"
This is what we term in crime, a "bad day."
Kuwait, Kuwait Times: "Cleric Dies Boarding Plane"
Well, at least it cut down on the trip to the hereafter.
USA, NY Daily News: "Humane Society Used To Get Guns"
Rather inhumane of them, if you ask me.
Qatar, Khaleej Times: "Surprise Law"
Health care for Americans??
Australia, Brisbane Times: "Policeman Arrested For Eating Bribe"
Hopefully, it was a small item.

I've been thinking a lot about money lately.
I really kind of hate thinking about money. I'm not good at it, there's a lot about economics that I just don't understand and, frankly, the entire idea of money fucks with my head. Think about it; money and everything about it is an ENTIRELY MADE UP CONCEPT. Everything about how we've decided to order money and monetary value is essentially pulled out of our collective asses. Sure, you can argue that this thing – say, a computer – is worth more than that thing – say, a cucumber – because of engineering and assembly and materials costs, blah, blah, blah, but someone explain to me why, say, a diamond is worth more than, say, a garnet. Someone explain to me why a science teacher should be paid more than an art teacher (or why a man should be paid more than a woman) or why we think that some professions "deserve" more money than others. Seriously; given the choice between a bank CEO and my garbage guy, I think my garbage guy should be getting the cushy salary.
So, I posted this article on facebook the other day, and it started a conversation about whether or not we can even begin to upend the way we think about money and society. At one point, a friend asked this:
"What would you do if your were guaranteed that your needs for food, clothing, shelter, and education would be covered?"
I keep hearing people tell me that there's no way that this model would work; that people require motivation – and in this stage of our evolution, that motivation is largely economic and competitive – in order to actually DO anything. Without some sort of competitive motivation, people keep telling me, we'd just sit around mooching off the system.
I wonder if that's really true, though. That may be the case now, and for some people, but not for everyone.
Take ME, for example. I WANT to be a teacher, despite the shitty pay (and no exaggeration; it's really bad, especially in the environments – small charter schools – where I do best) and the crappy working conditions and the utter contempt that our society seems to have for teachers lately. I LOVE teaching, and it's what I WANT to do, and I do it with little consideration for how I'm monetarily compensated for it.
Now, if my husband weren't an engineer who makes decent money, I wouldn't – I couldn't – BE a teacher because there's no way I could afford to support my family on a teaching salary. If my husband were to die tomorrow (and we didn't have life insurance), I would have to consider other ways to make a living; my teaching salary would be insufficient to maintain our house and to send my kids to college (both things that I consider essential to maintaining our current standard of living). Failing finding a job that could meet my current financial needs, I'd have to adjust my standard of living "downward;" certainly to a different living arrangement, and likely to adjusted expectations about what kind of support my girls could expect from me as they begin their own lives independent of our family as a unit.
How many people get that freedom, though? I'm going to argue that precious few do, and here's were I make the point that my husband didn't feel he had that freedom; he became an engineer because he saw it as more fiscally lucrative than doing what he REALLY wanted to do, which was become an architect or a toy designer. Working, as I do, with high school students, I'm constantly exposed to kids who are making choices about their continuing education based almost solely on the expected financial return of certain career choices. My own daughter summed it up today, in fact, while we were out walking. "I'm going to go to college eventually, probably for 7 years, and I'm going to come out with a pile of debt and no guarantee of a job to pay down that debt (and probably doing a job that I don't really love, anyway)." I hear people discourage people ALL THE TIME with lines like "what kind of JOB are you going to get with an ART/English/Philosophy degree?!" I've heard freshmen in my writing program tell me that they're in their major because they're more confident about job and money prospects with this degree than they would be with a degree that would lead to a career that would make them "happy, but poor."
So, here's my question. Have we come yet to a stage in our evolution – whether as a species writ large or as a culture in the U.S. (or elsewhere; Holland, for example, or Canada, where some places are also flirting with this idea of basic minimum income for everyone) where we're ready to start ensuring a floor through which no one can fall and giving people the opportunity to find the work that they REALLY WANT to do? Do you think these experiments are going to work, or are they going to collapse on themselves?

text: Any decision on the future of the UK's nuclear deterrent must be taken on the basis of "strategic defence needs" and not on the number of employees and industrial and shipbuilding firms which might benefit, the Commons defence committee says in a report today. It describes building a successor to Trident as a "huge undertaking" and the shortage of submarine building skills in the MoD as a cause of "serious concern". It also criticises the secrecy surrounding work at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston, where nuclear warheads are made.

EU mulls more flexible online copyright law
By Claire Davenport
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Internet users in Europe may be allowed to copy parts of some copyrighted files legally under reforms to outdated rules governing the murky world of online piracy, EU officials said on Wednesday.
Entertainment and software companies, who say they are losing billions of dollars of revenues to pirates, have been lobbying the bloc to outlaw all unlicensed copying and sharing of their digital films, music and applications.
But the bloc's executive, the European Commission, said it was hoping to find a middle ground that would let legitimate users copy parts of some files - while clamping down on serious criminals.
"The Commission's objective is to ensure that copyright stays fit for purpose in this new digital context," the EU Commission said in a statement.
Officials said they were redrawing the EU's 2001 copyright law, that was agreed when slow internet speeds made it difficult to share large digital files online.
New legislation, which could emerge in 2014, could clarify the fact that people could make "fair use" of some digital media, they added.
"Fair use" is a concept already active in other areas of copyright law, giving book reviewers, for example, the right to include short passages or quotes from publications in their articles.
Online "fair use" might let people use a snippet of someone else's song in a parody posted on the video-sharing website YouTube, said one Commission source. Continued...

San Francisco 49ers (2-1) at New York Jets (2-1) Remember how the Jets' chance to make the playoffs was on the conservative offense, good defense, don't make mistakes, easy schedule model? Yeah, that doesn't work if you can't play good defense and without Darrelle Revis, they're going to have a hard time doing so many of the things they normally do on defense. They also don't run the ball particularly well with mediocre back Shonn Greene now ceding carries to an unproven Bilal Powell and Mark Sanchez is as he's always been. Revis' injury is huge. It can't be understated. Revis' presence as someone who can shut down one side of the field is huge because it allows the Jets to use all sorts of exotic blitz packages. They already rank just 27th in the league in pass rush efficiency so I don't expect them to get very much pressure at all on Alex Smith behind an improved San Francisco offensive line. Calvin Pace looks pretty done, Aaron Maybin is proving last year was a fluke, and rookie ...

So this is beyond awesome and intriguing! Lara Stein Pardo is currently scheming up a way to unveil the Magic City's artistic depth with a project titled Mapping Miami, which maps and pinpoints sites of historic importance in the city through places artists lived and worked. Quoting HuffPost Miami, Pardo said the reason she wanted to do this project was because "…Miami is a city in which the past is constantly erased by a focus on the future." (truuuue)
Now, a little bit of history. The project will be covering a huge range of artistic individuals like: visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, performers, etc. from the time period of the 1920s-1950s. Lara picked this time frame because "its both an interesting time period in between the development of the city of Miami- which was founded in 1896 and also the arrival of many more people from places like Cuba and Haiti starting in 1959."
Discoveries like the fact Billie Holiday maintained a room at a boarding house called Georgette's Tea Room in Brownsville and that playwright Tennessee Williams staged "A Streetcar Named Desire" at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in 1956 makes Pardo hope that Miamians will get in touch with their own leads about unknown historical sites in Dade County.
Her project to plot Miami's history was awarded a grant by Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and she's currently seeking funds via Indiegogo to satisfy the matching-funds requirement.
Pardo also hopes to expand the project to include apps, tours, and podcasts as well as go nationally as Mapping Arts Project, plotting local sites of interest in cities throughout the U.S.
Good Luck! The305.com is excited to see this move forward.

The hirst affair muddies the efforts to dismiss the Choe murals as an anomaly.
However, there are significant differences to hirst and Choe that help collapse the comparison.
Until recently, the hirst Spot paintings had frequently supplied the background in newspaper photographs of magnates on the go.
By January 31, Sutherland was notified that his hirst paintings were fakes.
It's one of the largest reproductions of a hirst work ever produced.
I requested Mr. hirst to fix two stakes in the same vertical plane, one at the top of the precipice and one near the bottom.
"A little water will give it back to them," answered hirst, sulkily.
"hirst," said Hewet, pointing at the scissorlike shadow; he then rolled round to look up at them.
"I don't think you altogether as foolish as I used to, Hewet," said hirst.
"Muriel was to arrive by the earlier train," said Dr. hirst, as he put Patty's belongings into a cab.

A Fleet councillor is angry no electric vehicle (EV) charging points or parking spaces are being provided as part of the multi-million improvements taking place at the town's railway station.
Town councillor Steve Forster said he was 'aghast' South West Trains (SWT) were being 'so shortsighted'.
"It is sad that in Hart we have so few charging points and when new building works take place, such as at the station, they don't plan for EVs," he said.
Cllr Forster said train companies are installing electric charging points – people using Southern Railway's station at Lewes are able to charge cars for free.
"It seems crazy SWT could spend all the money on a refurbishment of Fleet station and miss the opportunity, at minimal cost, to install EV charging points while doing the work. This would be far cheaper than retrofitting them. We need to encourage electric cars – as they are sustainable – by having dedicated parking spots in good locations for them."
The new £2 million 448-space decked car park scheme at Fleet has been plagued by problems.
SWT announced work would start on November 18 but delayed it a week following an outcry from councillors who complained they had been kept in the dark about the proposals and warned it would cause parking chaos.
The £6 million overall redevelopment includes a modern main station building, a platform waiting shelter, improved forecourt arrangements and a replacement footbridge equipped with lifts.
Cllr Forster said SWT had failed where other organisations had succeeded, in planning ahead and installing charging points at the M3 Fleet Services, Morrisons in Aldershot and Redfields Garden Centre in Church Crookham.
"I've noticed three charging points at private houses I know of in Fleet and seen more than five EVs used in the town," added Cllr Forster, who drives a BMW i3 EV and a Renault Twizy, both of which cost less than 3p a mile to drive.
"To encourage EV use for longer trips and for visitors to come to Fleet, we need charging points, and, since Fleet has attracted people by being one of the best places to live, we should assume many want to be green, and hence, want to use EVs."
A spokesperson for the SWT-Network Rail Alliance said statistics show, of 5,000 electric cars in the UK, 80% are charged at home. "Where we have high car park usage, complaints are often received the car park is full, yet charging points are empty. It's a difficult balancing act for us," said the spokesman. He added, as part of Fleet station's refurbishment, energy efficient lighting has been installed.
"We will monitor any requests from our passengers for charging points and will carry out research to determine if there are any 'hot spots' across the network where the installation of charging points would be beneficial to all our users," he added.
Work on the decked car park should be finished by the end of the month, while all the improvement work at the station will be completed by mid-July.

Decorating Tips
Find answers to your decorating questions in our "How to Library" of decorating tips and installation guides including lighting tips and country decorating tips to simplify your interior decorating project. Add warmth and style to your home by decorating with a primitive country theme your guests are sure to enjoy. First impressions are often lasting impressions so here are a couple of home décor tips for you; begin with the area around the entrance to your home. Porches are a great place to start, an antique rocker or Primitive Chair gives it a nice touch that invites your guest to sit and relax. Next for some rustic decorating tips add an old wood crate or keg as an accent piece that doubles as a plant stand. Finish it off with a hand painted welcome slate and be sure to include some Primitive seasonal decor as well.
As you step inside the door, try one of these primitive decorating tips; add a braided rug will help to warm that cold tile foyer floor. Next add a primitive piece of furniture such as a hall console, adorned with a candle or a Primitive Lamp for added warmth. Primitive country décor goes a long way in making your guest's feel welcome or putting them at ease.
Be creative as you implement your home decorating ideas, if you lack creativity check out a book at your local library on interior decorating tips or something more style specific like country home decorating tips. Not everybody enjoys pure country décor so find some materials on shabby chic decorating tips or cottage decorating tips, whatever suits your style. Then frequent yard sales, local flea markets and public auctions in search of hidden treasures to accent your particular decorating style.
Great decorative tips can be found in magazines like country sampler or country living. These resources are great starting points as you search for vintage decorating tips or décor tips in general. Each photo give you opportunity to recreate the idea pictured or makes an excellent springboard for something entirely different.
Country Decorating Tips with Kitchen & Living Room Lighting Tips
The kitchen is one of the easiest rooms in the house to give a warm country atmosphere; here are a few kitchen decorating tips to get you started. Place grandmas antique Hoosier cabinet along an open wall, dress it up with some berry garlands and a few pieces of agateware. Be sure to include a couple of old baking tins and some primitive kitchen utensils for good measure. Since we are thinking about decorating tips allow us to share a few kitchen lighting tips with you that drab ceiling light can easily be replaced with a small wood chandelier or an antique tin light from our primitive lighting collection. You can find sizing information in our how to library. One of the most overlooked lighting tips is to be sure to purchase enough of light, you can always back it off with a dimmer switch.
As your friends sit in your gathering room and observe the warm Country atmosphere you have created by placing a hand sewn quilt over the back of an old chair or the antique sewing machine sitting in the corner with a piece of old homespun draped across it they will feel at home. Removing that cold uninviting TV stand and replacing it with a primitive handcrafted Entertainment Center finished in a 2 tone antique finish will add a touch of class without destroying your country atmosphere. Accent you family heirlooms by adding a garland or two along with a beautiful piece of pottery or decorative plate.
Last but not least we share these living room lighting tips with you, chandelier tips in general really.
- For rooms 10' x 10' and smaller use a 17"-20" diameter chandelier.
- For rooms 12' x 12' use a 26"–27" diameter chandelier.
- For rooms 14' x 14' use a 24"-36" diameter chandelier.
When hanging a chandelier over a table it is best if it is 12" narrower than the width of the table. Hang it a minimum of 30" from the surface of the table to the bottom of the chandelier. This will provide for the best illumination and keep it out of the way.
For more information on decorating tips, country decorating tips or lighting tips access the articles in our online How to Library!

Supermarket Offers In-Store Recommendations Like Amazon
Physical-digital revolution gives customers what they want in Russia
Tailored recommendations are a great way for online companies to entice customers with additional items, which is exactly why some physical retailers have started to adopt the practice as well. One of the latest to do so is a high-end Russian supermarket called Land, which now uses interactive kiosks to create recommendation-styled grocery lists for customers who use the brand's loyalty cards.
The touch-screen systems from Synqera, will allow customers to print lists based on their past purchases, the day of the week, time of day and other elements. This could mean beers specials at the weekend, or a list of items that are due to expire and heavily reduced towards the end of the day. Only in-stock items are recommended, and the kiosks can also help people with recipes and where to find their items in the store.
"Understanding how our customers think and like products helps us make shopping at Land a better experience," said Ilya Shtrom, general director for the grocery chain. "Synqera's analytics and customer personalization technology enhances the shopping experience at a critical point throughout the sales process."
Just to complete the experience, customers will also get offered coupons at the checkout via another set of display screens. These will also be based on the day of the week and time of day. Land is currently running a pilot program for the various systems across a handful of stores in Russia.

Foreigners in China Must Learn the Rules of the Road
After 16 years in China, British businessman Mark Kitto had enough. The previous decade and a half had been a trying time. He had started That's Shanghai, a favorite rag for expats to check out photos of partygoers in the hottest nightspots, which he lost control of in a fight with his Chinese partner. Reeling from the loss, he ventured outside Shanghai to open a boutique hotel in Moganshan, a scenic protected spot, but that venture's profit failed to live up to expectations.
Tired and frustrated, Kitto has penned a piece titled "You'll Never Be Chinese: Why I'm Leaving the Country I Loved" for Britain's Prospect Magazine that maligns current Chinese society and blames the business and political environment for his struggles. "I have fallen out of love," he writes, "woken from my China Dream." He adds: "Don't you think, with all the growth and infrastructure, the material wealth, let alone saving the world like some kind of financial whiz James Bond, that China would be a happier and healthier country? At least better than the country emerging from decades of stultifying state control that I met and fell in love with in 1986 when I first came here as a student? I don't think it is."
Kitto expresses sentiments many foreigners and Chinese feel—the drive for riches has left a country awash in BMWs but also poisoned by smog, stuck with a tottering education system, and bereft of ethics. Anyone who has spent time in China deciding where to buy dairy products or vaccines for their children can sympathize with Kitto's feelings.
It is true that foreigners are never really viewed as Chinese. The sooner foreigners accept that, and learn what limitations that means, the faster they can focus on building profitable businesses. Few foreigners have lived in China for decades (even five years is considered a long time by many), so most are viewed as vagabonds or long-term tourists ready to be sent home when their expat packages end.
What strikes me, though, is the lack of introspection in Kitto's farewell note. A closer look at his decision-making shows many of Kitto's challenges could easily have been avoided if he understood better what not to do in China.
First, Kitto should never gone into media, a highly regulated sector where foreigners cannot legally operate easily, if at all. He should have expected the regulatory nightmares he complains about in a country that regulates the media with an iron fist, and it seems he never had a clear ownership structure. (See my column, "How Not to Run a Business in China.") If you do not have a clear ownership structure and operate in a sector where the government does not welcome foreign investment, one cannot expect legal protection or support from authorities when things go wrong (as they always do).
When crafting strategies, businesses need to do what the market demands and what the Party allows specifically for foreigners. Know your limitations and do not expect to operate with the same opportunities as Chinese. It is not an even playing field and never will be. Don't try to make it one, or you will end up banging your head against walls as Kitto did. Let your nation's government—or larger companies with long investing horizons, such as General Electric—do the pushing.
Second, Kitto had far too long an investing horizon. He should have built his business model to generate profit in the short term. He rails that the government held his hotel project hostage by forcing him to reapply to extend his lease every three years. But if he could only get a short-term lease, Kitto never should have started a business that needs large upfront capital costs in the first place.
China is rapidly urbanizing. City residents as a percentage of the overall population have increased from 30 percent two decades ago to 50 percent today. The practical reality of all that activity is that unless your business is located in a large real estate development, it will likely get literally knocked down in the future. Local officials, too, cannot give long leases for smaller projects, especially in beautiful areas like Moganshan, because higher-ups might exert their power, so be wary of investing in a place that could draw the attention of powerful forces. Instead, Kitto should have raised more capital and done something big, built his hotel in a less protected area, or spent less money on renovation.
Finally, the number of foreigners moving to China has been rising 10 percent annually since 2000. They need to remember that operating a business here is not easy, and they need to be patient. China is no longer a cheap place to do business, and competition from domestic companies is fierce. Successful businessmen will keep getting back up on the saddle if they fall off, and they won't attack their host country with such anger as Kitto did. If Kitto ever decides to come back, most people will view him more as an interloper than someone dedicated to the China market.

You probably know the experience: You scroll through Facebook, reading your friends' posts about the sweet things their boyfriends said and their amazing weekend plans, and checking out their photos of super-fun birthday parties and luxury ski vacations, and you start feeling bad about yourself and thinking, "Why isn't my life this wonderful?"
Well, it turns out we tend to believe that other people are happier than they really are, according to a new study from Stanford University. We underestimate their negative emotions, and a possible explanation seems obvious: The "truth" about our friends that we see on Facebook (or hear about over the phone or at happy hour) isn't the full story. Chances are, your friends aren't posting about their disappointments at work or the blowout fight they got in with their sister, but rather they're selectively presenting just the good stuff. And if you reflect on your day, chances are something totally great happened, too (even if you also spilled coffee all over your sweater and had a spat with your partner).
The point of bringing up these study results is not to make you relish your friends' secret suffering, or to feel better about yourself at the expense of others' misery. Rather, it's to help you put things in perspective. When you have a bad day, it might help to remember that others' lives aren't as sparkly and glamorous as you imagine them to be. We're all human, and we all have bad days.
The next question is, why don't we share more of the bad stuff with others? We might feel like it's important to come off as strong and confident and happy, and we might be nervous about admitting our weaknesses and vulnerabilities. But as anyone who's attended a support group will tell you, it can help to commiserate. So the next time you're having a difficult experience, consider posting it on Facebook –and watch the "Phew! Me too!" comments roll in.

We also tested two other distros, which are very popular in the Linux community but still lack innate specialized services for enterprise file and print and application servers. The Debian/GNU and Slackware distros have ardent fans that use them in network operations centers and Web operations throughout the world. What they lacked for this review was a packaging specifically targeted toward enterprise server use. This doesn't mean that either package can't be modified and enriched (through application downloads) to service levels associated with the other distros that we tested.
Debian doesn't come from a "commercial" distribution vendor (it's made by the Debian.Org), but the version we tested had commercial Linux hardware sponsors. We tested a version of Debian sponsored by VA Linux Systems and SGI, called Debian/GNU that was a freebie release garnered at LinuxWorld Expo.
Debian doesn't use a graphical user interface for installation, and the color text-based installation requires the installer to have intimate knowledge of the exact hardware configuration of the platform where it will be installed. Debian performs only the most basic of hardware assumptions to get installation under way, there is no plug-and-play detection as performed by the other distros tested. As we knew the configurations intimately, we got Debian installed the first time on all of the platforms we tested, although we had to go through the drudgery of manually configuring X Window, and a kernel that would find the Compaq's Smart Disk Arrays. Debian network card driver support was also a bit skimpy.
Debian/GNU is less oriented toward desktop users and more toward developers, ISPs and applications server usage. Unlike several of the other distros tested, Debian/GNU comes on a single CD-ROM and was burned onto the CD provided as a "repair" disk. We found this to be refreshing when compared to the staggering number of application options presented on the multiple CDs packaged with other editions.
Secure settings are a strength of Debian, and we watched at installation while Debian made several steps toward securing itself, by including shadowed passwords and other selections that prevent post-installation configuration changes needed to secure Linux in an enterprise context.
Debian is generally known to be a growing medium for applications, and the Spartan implementation offered in this version could be an excellent choice for experienced Unix/Linux/Solaris personnel.
We used Slackware purchased for $3 on a CD-ROM from the Linux Mall, (www.linuxmall.com or www.slackware.org). Like Debian/GNU, Slackware performed a minimal amount of hardware probing and required us to configure most characteristics manually. Slackware -- the work of Patrick Volkerding -- is perhaps the oldest distribution of Linux.
Slackware required that we recompile kernels for the Compaq platformss we used, although the rest of the platforms installed easily. Slackware is a Spartan platform, and users of Slackware often use it to build and customize their platform for specific purposes, such as a remote-access platform and database server.
Slackware made good choices in initial system security, and otherwise was "manually" configured throughout its use, using GNU Public License applications. As it isn't specifically pointed toward enterprise server use in our context -- as it lacks a retail distribution packaging -- it's nonetheless worthy of consideration for developers and do-it-yourself server builders.

Lawyers for People Alleging Abuse by Boston-Area Priests Say 450 New Clients Have Come ForwardApr 14, 2002 | Associated Press
Attorneys for people who say were sexually abused by Boston-area priests said more than 450 alleged victims have come forward with new allegations since the scandal broke in January.
"Some of them realize for the first time that they're not an isolated incident," said Mitchell Garabedian, who settled with the Boston Archdiocese last month on behalf of 86 people who accused former priest John Geoghan of abusing them.
Court documents released in January showed Cardinal Bernard Law and other Roman Catholic church officials knew Geoghan had been accused of abuse but kept moving him from parish to parish.
Garabedian said he has taken on 250 new clients who said they were assaulted by Geoghan and other priests.
"The Geoghan case has opened up the flood gates," he said.
Attorney Jeffrey Newman said he has taken on 100 new cases since January. He said that after each news report about allegations against particular priests, new clients have come forward accusing those priests of abuse.
Garabedian said alleged victims "seem to draw strength from the media coverage."
Attorney Roderick MacLeish told the Boston Sunday Globe he also has received 100 new clients. A call to his office from The Associated Press was not immediately returned Sunday.
Calls for Law's resignation mounted after church personnel records released by MacLeish at a news conference last week showed Law and other archdiocese officials knew the Rev. Paul Shanley had been accused of abuse over three decades.
Law, who announced in a letter to priests Friday that he would not step down, did not say Mass at Holy Cross Cathedral on Sunday as he usually does.
In a scene that's become familiar since the clergy sexual abuse scandal began, about three dozen protesters picketed the Cathedral. Some called for criminal charges against Law.
"I'm a psychologist. If I did what he did I'd be in prison right now. I'd have to file a report if I suspected abuse," said Ann Hagan Webb.

Shades of the ever-memorable Dockwra, what next – and next? Shall we have to describe the first series for mythical Timbuctoo, or an emission for Juan Fernandez?
We had began to think that the age of new countries was past; that we should be forced to confine ourselves for the future to chronicling the emissions of states and countries already enrolled as stamp-patrons, and now we perceive news of the appearance of stamps or series from no less than four almost unheard of African settlements.
First came the Orange State, and now we have, in quick succession, the Transvaal Republic, Gambia, and, lastly, Fernando Po. There has been but one stamp emitted for this Spanish settlement, and that is already obsolete.
According to the information given by Mr. Moens (on whose authority alone we chronicle this novelty), it was issued in September last year, and was superseded on the first January of the present year by the current Cuban type, which is now to be used, so he says, in all the Spanish colonies.
We give an illustration (above) of this stamp, which is a fac-simile of the engraving in Le Timbre-Poste, from which it will be perceived the value is 20 centesimos d'escudo; the colour, according to M. Moens, is brown on white.
That it is, and will be, very rare, there can be no doubt; indeed, the fact that it was not heard of in Europe until after its suppression, proves how little it was used.

I have never heard of .pix format. Mathematica contains no automatic
filters to open any kind of graphics files whatsoever. It can read the
binary digits and you can decompress the file yourself if you know its
structure, but mathematica itself is only capable of reading numbers
from ascii text files or binary digits.
If your file is a more standard graphics format, the shareware program,
paintshop pro (www.jasc.com) can open it and transform it to a raw data
format which a ReadList command can open. --

But isn't it exciting when you happen upon a new (to you) blog? One that "speaks" to you and you get sucked in, going back through old posts, reading for hours, and feeling like you've found a new BFF even though they have no idea who you are? Tonight, that happened to me. I came across the Mini Manor blog and was immediately smitten.
There is still time to enter the Little Doodahs GIVEAWAY!
The winner will be announced Saturday, April 7.

Ed Sheeran Records Track for "The Fault in Our Stars": Listen to it Here!
Lending his talents to an upcoming flick, Ed Sheeran recorded a track for "The Fault in Our Stars" and released the music video on Friday (May 9).
Bringing out a number of emotions, the British singer dropped "All of the Stars" on his YouTube page with a clip that features a number of images of encouraging messages posted on a wall.
Ed's new tune showcases his acoustic sound and features a softer rock approach, which is how the singer started out his career.
"It's just another night / and I'm staring at the moon," Sheeran sings at the beginning of the track, accompanied by warm piano notes, "I saw a shooting star and I thought of you."
"The Fault in Our Stars" hit theaters on June 6 and stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.

Contemplating world peace. And the the new flavor of Friskees.
This will be my entry for Weekend Cat Blogging hosted by Jules and Vincent at Judi's Mind Over Matter.
A blog about food, and a little about reading, and some sewing, and I might even knit something.
Pam Greer can be found at her foodie (and wine, and books, and cats) blog: Sidewalk Shoes, at her professional photography business: Pamela Greer Photography, at her daily photography blog: Pamela Greer 365, and her newest endeavor:Grey is the New Black. By the time you've read this, she has probably started another site.
Jan's Funny Farm says
Hmmm, you do look as if you're contemplating.
Judi says
Thanks for participating in Weekend Cat Blogging! We have posted a round-up here:
Hope Smudge is feeling better these days!
merrilymarylee says
Deep thoughts, indeed! I can't believe he lets you take those!
a good yarn says
World peace?! What?! That's for humans to sort out. New flavour of Friskees infinitely more important.
Marjie says
I believe Smudge thinks world peace is overrated, but the flavor of Friskees is paramount to everyone's lives! I love Smudge.
Catherine says
Cat's have so much to ponder on don't they? Cute!
xo Catherine
June says
He kind of looks like the Big Guy who is at this moment on the phone trying to report our stollen credit cards. LOL
Kyle says
I agree with Barbara and love your cats and cat blogging!
Have a great weekend to you and all the kitties!
Kat says
Yep, that is what we cat's do!!
Barbara says
Love Saturdays at your blog, Pam! No doubt your cat mind-reading is right on.
My daughter's cat just left after a month of visiting. No doubt he's happy to be home.

So Santa came, somehow Sput and me didn't hear him or else we would have spied on him from the top of the stairs. Santa got me lots of nice gifts, along with gifts from our servants' relatives. Grandma D. gave me a cool fish-shaped tray to go under my water and food bowls, along with some reindeer ears I refuse to wear. Great Aunt Mary gave me a weasel ball, though that weasel is pretty scary, and a leopard-print cat "tube" that I can run through. Grandma A. and Grandpa B. gave me a whole bunch of balls with bells in them, and a "Micromouse", this little white mouse with attitude that somehow can speed through the kitchen without me even going near him. Auntie Jen gave me a catnip mouse with refillable catnip (a fine invention, I hate it when my mice lose that fresh catnip taste), and some nifty leopard print balls. She also gave my servants cat picture frames, I'll have to keep on them to put pix of me in them pronto! I don't remember what Sput got...my paws are tired of typing, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........
So Mom and Dad finally brought Sputnik, my little sis, home. They have been telling me about her, but I was mostly distracted and usually half asleep when they would mention her. She and I met paw to paw under the bedroom door for the first time, then when the door was opened I had to give a good hiss and low, extended growl just to let her know that these are my catnip toys, scratcher, furniture, floors, beds, and servants. But over the past two weeks, I've grown to kind of like the little Sput. She's hyper, to be sure, but every once in awhile she calms down and I can actually give her a lick. Kind of funny how she really thinks that red furry mouse is real, anyone my age would know it's fake, unlike the little blue one.
I wish Morris the Cat had run for President, like he did back in 1988! Back then we talked seriously about the issues, like the kibble tax, same breed marriages, the war against dogs, universal vet care, furball research, the canned vs. dry debate, the return of the winter draft, and better litterboxes and training for our kitties overseas. I think I will just sleep the day away.
