Cheonggyecheon (Hangul: 청계천) is a 10.9-kilometre-long (6.8 mi), modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul, South Korea. The massive urban renewal project is on the site of a stream that flowed before the rapid post-war economic development caused it to be covered by transportation infrastructure. The $900 million project initially attracted much public criticism but, after opening in 2005, has become popular among residents and tourists.

Cheonggyecheon is an 8.4 km (5.2 mi) creek flowing west to east through downtown Seoul, and then meeting Jungnangcheon, which connects to the Han River and empties into the Yellow Sea. During the presidency of Park Chung-hee, Cheonggyecheon was covered with concrete for roads. In 1968, an elevated highway was built over it.
The stream was named Gaecheon ("open stream") after the first refurbishment project to construct a drainage system during the Joseon Dynasty. The work, which included dredging and bolstering the banks of the stream and building the bridges, was carried out every 2-3 years during this period from the reign of Taejong, the third king of the Joseon Dynasty. King Yeonjo especially undertook the refurbishment work as a national project.[2]
Gacheon was renamed to Cheonggyecheon, its current name, during the period when Japan ruled by Hirohito dominated Korea. During this time, financial difficulties disrupted and prevented the Imperial Japanese forces from covering up the stream despite several attempts to do so.[3]
After the Korean War (1950–1953), more people migrated into Seoul to make their living and settled down along the stream in shabby makeshift houses. The accompanying trash, sand, and waste, and deteriorating conditions resulted in an eyesore for the city. The stream was covered up with concrete over 20 years starting in 1958, and a 5.6 km-long (3.5 mi), 16 m-wide (52 ft) elevated highway was completed in 1976. The area became an example of successful industrialization and modernization of South Korea.[3]
In July 2003, then-Seoul mayor, Lee Myung-bak initiated a project to remove the elevated highway and restore the stream. It was a major undertaking since the highway had to be removed and years of neglect and development had left the stream nearly dry. 120,000 tons of water were to be pumped in daily from the Han River, its tributaries, and groundwater from subway stations.[4] There were safety problems due to the deteriorated concrete. Still, restoration of Cheonggyecheon was deemed important as it fit in with the movement to re-introduce nature to the city and to promote a more eco-friendly urban design. Other goals of the project were to restore the history and culture of the region, which had been lost for 30 years, and to revitalize Seoul's economy.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government established several organizations to oversee the successful restoration of Cheonggyecheon: the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project Headquarters for the control of the whole project; the Citizen's Committee for Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project for the management of conflict between the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the union of merchants; and the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Research Corps for the establishment and review of the restoration plan.
To address the consequent traffic problem, the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project Headquarters established traffic flow measures in the downtown section affected by the restoration work and coordinated changes in the downtown traffic system based on the research of the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Research Corps.[3].
The restoration of two historic bridges, Gwangtonggyo and Supyogyo, was also a contentious issue, as several interest groups voiced opinions on how to restore historical and cultural sites and remains and whether to replace the bridges or not.[3]
The Cheonggyecheon restoration project had the purpose of preserving the unique identity of the natural environment and the historic resources in the CBD of Seoul, and to reinforce the surrounding business area with information technology, international affairs and digital industries.[3] The plan encouraged the return of the pedestrian-friendly road network connecting the stream with traditional resources: Bukchon, Daehangno, Jungdong, Namchon, and Donhwamungil. This network system, named the CCB (Cheonggyecheon Culture Belt), tried to build the cultural and environmental basis of the city.
The stream was opened to the public in September 2005 and was lauded as a major success in urban renewal and beautification. However, there was considerable opposition from the previous mayoral administration of Goh Kun, which feared gentrification of the adjacent areas that housed many shops and small businesses in the machine trades.
Creating an environment with clean water and natural habitats was the most significant achievement of the project. Species of fish, birds, and insects have increased significantly as a result of the stream excavation.[5] The stream helps to cool down the temperature on the nearby areas by 3.6 °C on average versus other parts of Seoul.[6] The number of vehicles entering downtown Seoul has decreased by 2.3%, with an increasing number of users of buses (by 1.4%) and subways (by 4.3%: a daily average of 430,000 people) as a result of the demolition of the two heavily used roads.[7] This has a positive influence by improving the atmospheric environment in the region.
The project attempted to promote the urban economy through amplifying urban infrastructure for a competitive city in the business and industrial area centered on the stream. The urban renewal project was the catalyst of revitalization in downtown Seoul. Cheonggyecheon became a centre for cultural and economic activities.
Cheonggyecheon restoration work brought balance to the areas south and north of the stream. During the modernization era, downtown Seoul was divided into two parts, north-south, based on their features and function. The restoration helped to join these parts to create a new urban structure connecting the cultural and environmental resources in northern and southern areas of the stream (Hwang n.d.), resulting in a balanced and sustainable development of northern and southern areas of the Han River.
The project sped up traffic around the city when the motorway was removed. It has been cited as a real-life example of Braess' paradox.[8]
Budgeted at 349 billion won, the final cost of the project was over 386 billion won (approximately US$281 million).[3]
Some Korean environmental organizations have criticized its high costs and lack of ecological and historical authenticity, calling it purely symbolic and not truly beneficial to the city's eco-environment. Instead of using the restoration as an instrument of urban development the environmental organizations have called for a gradual long-term ecological and historical recovery of the entire Cheonggyecheon stream basin and its ecological system.[9]
The cost of managing Cheonggyecheon has been rising every year.[10]
Seoul Lantern Festival 2012 in Cheonggyecheon[edit]
Theme 1: The Seoul City Wall[edit]
The Seoul City Wall refers to the walls surrounding Hanyang, the capital of Joseon dynasty. The wall stretches for 18.6 km (11.6 mi) along the ridges of four mountains (Naesasan): Inwangsan, Bugaksan (formerly Baegaksan), Naksan, and Namsan. Four major gates were built around the ramparts: the east, west, south, and north. Additionally, four small gates were constructed between the four large ones.
Theme 2: "The Ancestors Who Shaped the 600-year History of the Joseon Dynasty"[edit]
The Joseon Dynasty produced many long-lasting, rich cultural legacies throughout its 600-year period. In 1443, King Sejong the Great invented hangul, the most scientifically well-made language in the world.[citation needed] In 1446, the hunminjeongeum (literally the Correct/Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People) was proclaimed, and it contained the principles behind the invention of hangul. The wisdom of Korean ancestors can be seen in their scientific instruments such as the honcheonui, which measured the movements and locations of celestial bodies, and jagyeongnu, a water clock that automatically marked the time.
Theme 3: "The Daily Lives of the People"[edit]
The long history of the Joseon Dynasty was enabled by wiminsasang, the ideology that rulers should respect the people. Examples of this idea in practice include the secret royal inspector system and the sinmungo, a drum that the common people would play whenever they suffered an injustice. The seasonal customs and daily lives of the people were similar to those of today, differing only in their forms and methods. The past forms the basis for the present, and the present builds the foundation for the future. In that sense, the daily lives of the Joseon era people serve as a portrait of our times as well.
Attractions and artwork[edit]
- Sungnyemun: Also known as Namdaemun, Sungnyemun is the south gate of the Joseon capital of Hanyang and has been designated as South Korea's No. 1 National Treasure. It was the oldest wooden building in Seoul before it was burned down in a 2008 fire. A restoration effort began in February 2010 and was complete by May 2013.
- Goblin Design: The goblin has been seen as something fearsome, yet simple-minded and familiar. This imaginary creature sometimes did harm to people and other times brought them riches. Their images are sometimes displayed at palaces and temples to ward off evil spirits.
- Secret Dates Under the Moonlight: During the Joseon era, a couple could not enjoy a date at ease whether it was during the day or at night. People would instead secretly have dates in secluded areas under the bright moonlight.
- Traditional Wedding: In a traditional wedding, the bride wears a headpiece or crown and wears red dots on the cheeks and forehead. Placed on top of the gyobaesang (table) are candlesticks, white rice cakes in the shape of a dragon, a hen, a flower vase made of pine tree, a flower vase made of bamboo, chestnuts, rice, jujubes, and other items. The bride and the groom bow to each other.

Day 10: drive to Palm Springs
Next up: another 4 1/2 hour drive. This time to reach Aunt Susan's house in Palm Springs.
We stopped at Dairy Queen for lunch. Isaac shared his ice cream with Florence. What a sweet brother!
It was a long drive, through totally barren hot desert. There were hardly any places for us to stop and take a break, which made for a not so fun day.
We finally made it, just before dinner. It is beautiful here. Florence started making her "beautiful face" again, it is cracking us up. And you can see how hot and sweaty I am after the day of driving!
Pool party!
Day 9: Las Vegas
We ended up staying an extra day in Vegas so we can see the sights, and recover from our long journey yesterday.
We woke up so early that most of Vegas was still asleep. But we did manage to ride the monorail at 8 AM.
Inside the Paris hotel.
Enjoying the party scene at the MGM Grand lazy river. This was a highlight for Isaac! Florence had to wear her winter hat in the pool because we lost her sun hat!
It was tough to have a baby in Vegas, there was absolutely no where to sit down and nurse her! She reached a breaking point late in the afternoon, was so hungry, and I couldn't find anywhere to nurse her. I ended up using a couch, surrounded by at least 500 people waiting to check into their rooms at the Bellagio. Talk about awkward! This beautiful blown glass was right above my nursing area in the lobby of the Bellagio!
We had dinner at the rain Forest Café, at Isaac's request.
It was actually really fun for all of us!
Day 8: Bryce Canyon and drive to Vegas
We woke up the next morning, and took a shuttle through Bryce Canyon national Park. We had arrived too late the day before to see the park. It was very chilly!
Funny faces
The park was filled with Pondarosa Pines. Our shuttle driver told us to go up close to the trunk and smell a crack in the bark. He said it will smell like vanilla or butterscotch, depending on how your brain is wired. John, Jessica, and I smelled butterscotch. Isaac smelled vanilla! So cool.
Team JJ
We ate lunch together, then John and just had to head home to California. Mom Isaac Florence and I made our way to Vegas. It was a four and a half hour drive…
Strawberries and Cheetos for the baby.
The drive felt really long. Florence managed to cry for the last 90 minutes! Awful. But we finally made it to Vegas! We stayed in the MGM Grand.
Isaac was completely smitten by Vegas. We explored the nightlife. He loved every second of it!
Day 7: drive to Bryce Canyon
We woke up and set off early, towards our next stop on the trip. Bryce Canyon national Park.
Here are Florence and I, during a nursing break on the side of the road.
So happy to be out of her car seat!
We finally arrived at the hotel! The sink made a perfect little seat for Florence.
Our hotel had a huge gift shop. I loved these rugs. Only $4500 each…
During our lunch stop John, Jessica, and Isaac decided to make a detour to do some off-roading in the new Jeep.
Happiest boy in the world!
Isaac fed Moose lots of treats along the way. He learned the meaning of the word "hey day" from John & Jessica and kept saying "today is Moose's hey day!" Lol
Day 6: more Grand Canyon
Our second day at the Grand Canyon we drove around to different viewpoints to enjoy the scenery.
But first we set on benches outside the lodge and had breakfast burritos.
Isaac was thrilled to hold Moose's leash.
Florence snoozed.
This rock formation is called Angels window. Look to the top, you can see little people walking out onto yet another beautiful and scary precipice! Of course we had to do it too!
I love Isaac's little crossed leg pose here.
Isaac tired of getting his picture taken…
Tossing rocks into the canyon.
Posing with Jessica, the girl he loves with all his heart.
Contemplating the Grand Canyon.
One last look from our favorite viewpoint.
Day 5: Grand Canyon North Rim
Next stop: Grand Canyon national Park, north rim! Back on the road.
Stopped for a break in Arizona, checked out a very hot playground.
Another rest stop in Navajo land in Arizona. Spectacular scenery, hot and dry, a jewelry stand in the middle of nowhere. There was also an outhouse that was a plywood shack, with a plywood bench inside, and a hole cut in the bench. Isaac was thrilled by this. He used it multiple times in the span of 20 minutes, and we even spotted a lizard living inside the outhouse!
At last, we we reached the Grand Canyon! The lodge with built right on the edge of the canyon with huge windows. Spectacular!
Even better – John and Jessica met up with us there! It was so wonderful to see them!
There was a very cool precipice out over the edge of the Grand Canyon. A tiny little fence surrounded the rock finger jutting into the abyss. My favorite part of the park!!

Photo of the Day by janagitana2014-01-10 Share Tweet
Here's your invitation to white sand and blue water—-especially if it's chilly and snow-covered in your part of the world.
Our Photo of the Day was taken by *janagitana,* a Lomographer from Slovenia who grabbed the opportunity to enjoy the beaches in sunny parts of the Philippines.
This photo was taken using a *Diana F+* camera loaded with Kodak Ektachrome E100G film. It is captioned "Freedom."

BAGHDAD — Followers of rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr agreed late Friday to allow Iraqi security forces to enter all of Baghdad's Sadr City and to arrest anyone found with heavy weapons, in a surprising capitulation that is likely to be hailed as a major victory for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
In return, Sadr's Mahdi Army supporters won the Iraqi government's agreement not to arrest Mahdi Army members without warrants, unless they were in possession of "medium and heavy weaponry."
The agreement would end six weeks of fighting in the Shiite Muslim area that's home to more than 2-million residents and would mark the first time that the area would be under government control since Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003. On Friday, 15 people were killed and 112 were injured in fighting, officials at the neighborhood's two major hospitals said.
Also Friday, the U.S. military denied that the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, had been captured, saying a man with a similar name had been arrested in the northern city of Mosul.
"Neither coalition forces nor Iraqi security forces detained or killed Abu Ayyub al-Masri. This guy had a similar name," said Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, a U.S. military spokeswoman.

Counseling & Health Center
What To Do If You're Assaulted
Go to a safe place.
If you or anyone remains in physical danger call 911.
Preserve all physical evidence of the assault. Do not shower, bathe, douche, eat, drink, wash your hands, or brush your teeth until after you have had a medical examination. Save all of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault. Place each item of clothing in a separate paper bag. Do not use plastic bags. Do not clean or disturb anything in the area where the assault occurred.
Get medical care as soon as possible. Go to a hospital emergency department or a specialized forensic clinic that provides treatment for sexual assault victims. Collection of evidence is best done within 120 hours of an assault. Testing can be done by a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) through St. Vincent Hospital Pager: 704-2373). Even if you think that you do not have any physical injuries, you should still have a medical exam and discuss with a health care provider the risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections and the possibility of pregnancy resulting from the sexual assault. For concerns about sexually transmitted disease (STD) or pregnancy, contact your health care provider or the UW-Green Bay Counseling and Health Center 465-2380. If you suspect that you may have been given a rape drug, ask the hospital or clinic where you receive medical care to take a urine sample. Drugs, such as Rohypnol and GHB, are more likely to be detected in urine than in blood.
Contact a friend, family member or someone else you trust who can be with you and give you support.
Write down as much as you can remember about the circumstances of the assault, including a description of the assailant.
Get information whenever you have questions or concerns. After a sexual assault, you have a lot of choices and decisions to make - e.g., about getting medical care, making a police report, and telling other people. You may have concerns about the impact of the assault and the reactions of friends and family members. Talk with a counselor who is trained to assist rape victims. Counseling can help you learn how to cope with the emotional and physical impacts of the assault. You can get information by contacting UW-Green Bay Counseling and Health Center at 920-465-2380 or the Sexual Assault Center 920-436-8899.
Common Feelings after Being Sexually Assaulted
Sexual assault is a traumatic event, and we all handle traumatic events in different ways. Though each person and situation is unique, the following list summarizes the possible range of reactions to sexual assault. This list may help you know what's normal to expect.
- Emotional shock: I feel so numb. Why am I so calm? Why can't I cry?
- Disbelief or denial: Did it really happen? Why me? Maybe I imagined it. It wasn't really a sexual assault.
- Embarrassment: What will people think? I can't tell my family or friends.
- Shame: I feel so dirty, like there is something wrong with me. I want to wash my hands or shower all the time. I feel like I have brought shame to my family.
- Guilt: I feel as if it's my fault, or I did something to make this happen. If only I had done something different.
- Depression: How am I going to get through this semester? I'm so tired. I feel so helpless.
- Suicidal thoughts: Maybe I'd be better off dead.
- Powerlessness: Will I ever feel in control again?
- Disorientation: I don't even know what day it is, or what class I'm supposed to be in. I can't remember my appointments. I keep forgetting things.
- Triggers and flashbacks: I'm still re-living it. I keep seeing that face all the time.
- Fear: I'm scared of everything. What if I'm pregnant? Could I get a sexually transmitted infection (STI), or even HIV? How can I ever feel safe again? Do people realize there's anything wrong? I can't sleep because I know I'll have nightmares. I'm afraid I'm going crazy. I'm afraid to go outside. I'm afraid to be alone.
- Anxiety: I'm having panic attacks. I can't breathe! I just can't stop shaking. I can't sit still in class anymore. I feel overwhelmed.
- Anger: I want to kill the person who attacked me!
- Physical stress: My stomach (or head or back) aches all the time. I feel jittery and don't feel like eating.
Adapted from University of Texas Counseling and Health Center
Remember, you are not to blame, even if…
- The perpetrator was an acquaintance, date, friend, or spouse.
- You have been sexually intimate with the perpetrator or with others before.
- You were drinking or using drugs.
- You froze and did not or could not say "no," or were unable to fight back physically.
- You were wearing clothes that others could perceive as seductive.
Regardless of the circumstances, sexual assault is not your fault.

GOLFERS have given an £11,000 boost to St Leonard's Hospice in York.
The money was raised by members of Fulford Golf Club at its 34th annual Hospice Golf Tournament.
The total raised by members and friends for St Leonard's since 1980, when the hospice was still in the planning stage, has now topped £240,000.
Janet Morley, director of fundraising at the hospice, said: 'It's amazing to think that Fulford golfers have supported the hospice annually for the last 34 years - even before it opened its doors for the first time. It's a great tribute to them, and a pleasing vote of confidence in our work of caring for local people and their families.
"We are once again enormously grateful to everyone who took part."
The tournament winner was Paul Harrison and ladies winner was Elaine Rawson, while team prize-winners were Mike Winfield, Keith Potts and Paul Harrison. The club's next Hospice Day will take place on Friday May 1, 2015.

Nothing tells you more about the crazed state of the economy than the quick-serve food fight over breakfast.
The awkward business-climate rebound – strong enough to keep people employed, but not brisk enough to lessen the demands of the job – means hordes of busy, stressed-out, penny-pinching hungry people in the mornings. But that bowl of cereal or toast at home isn't cutting it anymore.
So, for example, Mexican fast-food giant Taco Bell just added a fresh breakfast lineup to its menu – including a much-discussed waffle taco entree. Burger-and-McMuffin biggie McDonalds counters with free coffee. Burger King launched $1 egg-laden King Deals.
Coffee champ Starbucks has upgraded its breakfast sandwiches. Even Del Taco – No. 2 in Mexican quick-serve – spiced up its long-running morning offerings.
"The recession saw people cutting back," says Jeff Davis at restaurant consultants Sandelman & Associates. "Now they are coming back and breakfast is enjoying part of the return."
The overall restaurant business has struggled to regain its pre-recession financial results. Breakfast has proven in this challenging recovery period to be a rare growth business for restaurants – with fast food leading the way, according to food-industry analysts at Packaged Facts of Rockville, Md.
Restaurant sales were essentially flat from 2005 through 2013 – a period encompassing the ride up during the business boom, down into the depths of the Great Recession, and back up on the rebound. In that period, though, breakfast's share of dining out grew to 36.4 percent from 34.8 percent.
The biggest breakfast opportunity may be in quick-serve, according to Packaged Facts. Limited-service eateries are expected to see 21 percent growth in their breakfast business from 2012 through 2015. Full-service restaurants will see morning meals grow by 14 percent.
In the world where time is money, and money matters, you'd think that growth in breakfast dining might seem a bit odd. Enter fast food's odd morning edge.
"Consumers have a range of at-home options that take little time to prepare, diminishing the convenience draw of out-of-home breakfast," Packaged Facts wrote. "However, when it comes to convenience, no preparation is better than minimal preparation, and a quick stop on the way to another destination for breakfast also mitigates the need to have food options handy at home, which consumers may believe saves them time."
To me, though, the breakfast-buying boomlet make a lots of sense (and cents) in the bigger economic picture.
For starters, breakfast has gotten some good publicity as being critical for healthier living. That's nudging more health-aware people to try to grab something as the day begins.
Also, breakfast diners tend to be older – a demographic slice that's done better financially overall than youthful restaurant goers in the economic recovery. So there's more cash to spend in the morning. Package Facts' latest breakfast report shows a growing number of fast-food breakfast diners in the age-65-plus demographic.
The morning "daypart" – restaurant lingo for slice of the day – has seen some of the greatest innovations in recent years, from the growth of coffee houses to various twists on the breakfast classics.
The resulting marketing pushes for these products heightens awareness of breakfast as a dining-out option. Sandelman's Davis expects Taco Bell's big push into the morning will help not only its own efforts but many players dabbling in the breakfast game.
"Taco Bell's breakfast will work," Davis predicted. "It's something different. Something they can own. It will stimulate people. It will lift all ships. It will grow the whole daypart."
Don't give too much credit to the marketing genius of a waffle taco or the like, though. This breakfast boom may be just a grand example of timing.
Like, we all have no time to eat – but we must get sustenance somehow.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Skilled nursing facility falsifying documents, etc.
It's really difficult to answer your question without more information. Generally speaking though, government employees can be protected under RCW 49.40 or 49.41 for retaliatory actions taken against an employee after reporting improper governmental action. If you're not a government employee then RCW 49.40 and 49.41 do not even apply to you. One key purpose of these state whistle blower statutes is to protect the employee from suffering adverse impacts on his/her employment after blowing the whistle. So, if you quit before reporting then arguably there could very few things the employer could do to retaliate against you since you would no longer be an employee.
If you are not a government employee, you are not protected under the state whistle blower statutes, but could possibly bring a common law wrongful discharge claim (based on wrongful discharge in violation of a public policy). But once again, if you quit voluntarily before reporting the violation, then you would not have been retaliated against (and would not have been discharged) so you likewise wouldn't have protections under this theory of the law either.
If you are considering quitting and/or reporting workplace violations you should consider meeting with an employment law attorney that can discuss the facts of the case in more depth help you weigh your options before you act. Good luck!

If you quit, what do you need protection from?
This response does not create a lawyer client relationship. Each case is determined on its specific facts and this reply is intended for a general audience and facts particular to your case may affect the answer. Consult with an attorney in person for specific answers to your questions.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues. When you quit and then try to report problems, concerns, violations, etc. it makes it appear quite the "sour grapes" rather than genuine concerns about patient care. Also, many employees facing discipline know that the true reason they are "in trouble" is because they have raised these issues and concerns, and only since that time have they received poor performance evaluations, critical supervisory comments, etc. -- but that doesn't change the fact that a claim of retaliation is VERY difficult to win in Washington state and federal whistleblower protections only apply to specific regulated industries for specific types of reporting of specific types of illegal conduct. Get the picture? As others suggest, an hour or two of attorney consultation would be worth it, if you truly need this job or are concerned about leaving in circumstances that will keep future employment options open for you.
Without knowing all of the details, reviewing documents, and interviewing witnesses, no person should assume that this Answer constitutes specific legal advice for any specific legal situation.

Obituary: Overland, Bert Allan
Sun., Aug. 12, 2012
Age 80
OVERLAND, Bert Allan
Bert has been compared to a super-charged V-8 engine, already revved up and running while most people are just thinking about getting started.
He was a remarkably healthy, active and vital man, who after retirement continued to camp, hike, bike, snow ski, travel far and wide, and help his family, neighbors and friends with everything from remodeling projects to rebuilding engines.
He never slowed down in his nearly 80 years, never spent a day in the hospital, up until his sudden death August 6th due to complications from pneumonia.
Bert Allan Overland was born August 20, 1932 on a farm just outside of Grafton, ND.
He was an accomplished trumpet player, performing twice at the Rose Bowl with his town band, and standing in as a band member for big name swing bands coming through the area.
He graduated from Grafton High School in 1950 and enlisted in the Air Force, a route that led to many adventures as a flight engineer and pilot during the Korean War.
After his discharge his career path always involved the automobile.
Over the years he owned a race-track, became a General Motors Executive, and taught Automotive Technology at Spokane Community College for 23 years, retiring in 1993.
He launched new business ventures after retirement, and developed and patented several inventions over the years, including an environmentally friendly automotive parts washer that received a Wall Street Journal Innovative Technology Award for the Environment in 2006 .
His many activities and interests shaped a treasure trove of funny and exciting stories, so our dinners and gatherings were never quiet.
Bert was preceded in death by his parents Erik and Betsy Overland, his sister Kari, brothers Arvid, Orville, and Kenley.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years Kathryn, daughter Theolene Bakken and husband Eric Bakken of Chewelah, daughter Leslie Overland and partner Randy Mullen of Bozeman, MT, son Erik Overland and partner Heather Hoberg of Seattle, WA, three practically perfect grandchildren, his brother Edwin Overland of Watertown, SD, numerous nieces and nephews, and many good friends and neighbors.
A memorial service and Mass will be held for Bert at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, August 14 at Assumption Parish.
His ashes will be interred at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity or scholarship foundation of your choice, or spend time giving a helping hand to someone who needs it.
We miss him terribly, but are privileged to have been with him at his passing, and we rejoice knowing that he will never have to slow down for old age.

DANNY KENT has enlisted the help of former motor cycling world champion James Toseland as he builds up to his first season racing in the Moto2 World Championship in 2013.
Kent, a 19-year-old from Tetbury, finished the Moto3 series last season with a flourish, winning two of the last four Grand Prix in Japan and Spain.
It not only earned him fourth place in the title race but a ride for the French-based Tech3 team this year.
Danny is a fitness enthusiast who relishes the time he spends in the gym but Toseland, who like the youngster raced on a bike with the number 52, has taken the Tetbury lad's workrate to a new level.
"I spent three days with James in London before Christmas," said Kent.
"James was renowned for being one of the fittest riders on the circuit and I have already learnt a lot from him. I go to the gym regularly but he opened my eyes as to how fit you have to be – and he pushes me that extra bit harder."
Later this month, Kent will be heading back to the Kensington home that Toseland shares with his wife, the chart-topping songstress Katie Melua, for some more intensive training.
"It is not just gym work," said Kent. "We got to an athletics track as well as running through the parks and streets of London."
On his next visit, Danny can show his mentor a large tattoo across the width of his shoulder blades that he acquired over the Christmas period and which he exclusively revealed to his almost 47,000 Twitter followers. He was kind enough to pass on a copy of the tattoo to the sports pages of the Standard.
The tattoo bears the legend 'If you tell me I can't, I'll show you I can' and incorporates his initials and his bike number 52.
Significantly, it also name-checks two late members of his family, his uncle Gary and his granddad Johnny, who were particularly supportive down the years.
"I have wanted a tattoo for some time, but I also wanted it to mean something," said Kent.
"The inspiration came from my dad and my uncle Gary, who was also heavily into tattoos.
"Gary was a huge fan of bikes and died a few years ago, while 'Gramps' was tragically hit by a motorcycle on the Malmesbury dual carriageway only last year.
"I went to Nick, a close friend of my dad's, who is a local tattoo artist from Malmesbury.
"I plan to extend the art in future to reflect on other special moments of my life."
Kent will return to the scene of his latest Grand Prix triumph in Valencia when pre-season testing starts officially in February.
Reflecting on last season's efforts, he insisted: "If I had started the season in the manner I ended it, I would have been challenging for the world title.
"There was a lot of expectation after I had done so well in pre-season but I realise now that I just needed more experience. There is a lot of difference between being the fastest for one lap and doing it for 23 laps in a race.
"In hindsight, I was not ready at the time, but winning two of my last four races and making the top six in four of the last five races shows that I became much more consistent.
"Now I can't wait for the new season to start."

With Euan Murray unavailable to play on Sunday because of his religious beliefs Geoff Cross starts at tighthead while Laidlaw fills the void left by Dan Parks' recent retirement from international rugby at stand-off.
Edinburgh fly-half Laidlaw, who can also play at scrum-half, impressed coming off the bench in the 13-6 Calcutta Cup defeat to England and saw a try ruled out by the television match official.
Other than that Robinson opts to retain the same backline and pack that controlled large parts of their contest against England.
But there are several new faces on the bench with prop Ed Kalman, 20-year-old fly-half Duncan Weir and 19-year-old full-back Stuart Hogg all poised to win their first caps after impressive performances in Scotland A's resounding 35-0 defeat of England Saxons. And Robinson revealed he is excited by the potential of his young guns.
He said: "Congratulations to Greig on his first start. He is a gifted footballer who is acclimatising very well to the differing demands of the stand-off position from having spent most of his career at scrum-half.
"Having lost last weekend, I believe the time is right to move on and look to develop our emerging talent at stand-off.
"I've always stressed the importance of the A team and the part that both Duncan Weir and Stuart Hogg played in the game at Netherdale last week is another reason for my continued excitement and belief in Scottish rugby."

The new science behind "People Skills" – become an expert at reading body language, communicating effectively, avoiding unnecessary conflict, and building consensus.
High-performance teams are diverse teams that value differences and handle challenges with confidence. Develop these crucial management skills now.
It's time to take diversity to the next level. Our differences are not there to be overcome or tolerated – they are the engines of innovation. Today, success means empowering unique individuals, whose abilities and viewpoints are essential to creative, productive teams.
Working closely together means we have to maintain the highest standards of professionalism: being brilliant is not enough – we have to be great communicators, negotiators, peacemakers. A team that can engage in "creative conflict" without damaging relationships... is a team that can meet any challenge.
Our new Professionalism & Diversity workshop includes core elements of our most popular programs, to add essential relationship management skills to your team's professional "toolkit." We explore social and emotional intelligence competencies that clarify communications and help avoid misunderstandings. We focus on specific practices that improve productivity, foster cooperation, and empower your team to communicate effectively – and respectfully – at every point of contact with colleagues and customers. Also included: the TALK3i™ Relationship Management System, which provides a memorable, easy way to keep the learning alive in every interaction.
The program contains key components of Preventing Sexual Harassment, Navigating Difficult Conversations, and Giving and Receiving Feedback. Our Guided Improv™ scenarios – customized for your organization's needs – will get your people engaged and involved. They'll practice communicating respectfully, resolving conflicts, and successfully navigating challenging conversations.
Call us today to learn more about Professionalism & Diversity. And ask about our free needs assessment* – a limited time offer that gives you a customized program for the cost of "off the shelf" training!
Hart Learning Group offers innovative, relevant learning solutions. Let us help you build and maintain a culture of continuous improvement using the very latest research and best practices.
In the areas of professional development and interpersonal communication there are many highly respected tools, methods, and models. FFM (Big Five), MBTI®, TKI, ESCI, EQ-i, MSCEIT™ and many others help us clarify complex personal and organizational dynamics.
The most common challenge with these systems occurs at the point of day-to-day interactions and conflicts. How can we remember to utilize the best practices we've learned "in this moment" when we need them the most? That's why we developed the TALK3i™Relationship Management System – a simple, easy to remember system that partners with the best of what you already know, and gives you the tools to keep learning, one interaction at a time!
There's no substitute for experience, and our Guided Improv Scenarios build skills through hands-on practice. These interactive scenes are custom tailored to meet each organization's specific needs; it's experiential learning guided by the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology. The result: relationship "power skills" that get used, and make a difference!
Sometimes individuals and organization are put to the test: a career seems stalled, or a department becomes embroiled in conflicts and hurt feelings. Cultural, generational, and personality differences may occasionally cause even the most talented teams to lose momentum. We're veterans of these tough situations, and have proven methods for defusing crises and navigating difficult conversations to achieve resolution, healing, and growth.
Learning is a science, and that science tells us that people learn differently. From advances in neuroscience to management techniques culled from the world's most creative companies, we sort through the insights and best practices ... and bring relevant knowledge to you in a form you can use now. We utilize a variety of methods and media to make learning fast, focused, fun, and effective. We know you need learning solutions that are advanced, but easy to implement.

Impressed with the Glory: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by KY Deb
Overall Member Rating
Impressed with the Glory
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
This was our second Carnival cruise, the first being 8 years ago on the Inspiration during Spring Break. That was a fine trip, but I still was a bit skeptical about sailing with Carnival. We went with two other couples, all celebrating anniversaries and birthdays and I was the cruise director for our trip.
We arrived at the port about 10:30, and due to one couple getting to the port early, we had embarkation no. 3. Even with what appeared to be long lines, we were checked in in no time and were on the ship at Lido deck by 11:30. The weather was perfect for sitting on deck, having a drink and enjoying lunch. Make sure you enter the Red Sail buffet and not making the mistake of thinking the only thing available was hot dogs at the grill station. The deli station was open as well, and I started the cruise with a great corned beef on rye sandwich and a cold beer!
Our rooms were ready at 1:30 and we trekked down to drop off More our carry ons and check out the cabins. We had 8A balcony on deck 6 starboard above the Amber Palace show lounge. We thought they were the perfect location near the forward stairs and elevators and just one floor above all the action. Yes, we could hear the show if we were in our rooms before 11:15 PM, but it was over after that, and quiet as could be. We had the cabin steward open the dividers between our balconies, so we had a lovely deck for the 6 of us to relax on. We really enjoyed that!! The cabins were really roomy with lots of storage. We used one of the drawers under the sofa for dirty clothes, and stored the luggage under the bed. Our room steward kept our room spotless.
We all thought the food on the ship was fantastic. Now, some dishes were better than others, but all 6 of us enjoyed our meals. We had Anytime Dining in the lower level in the Golden Dining Room. We loved the waiter we had the first night, but could never get to the dining room early enough to get her. However, we had 4 different wait teams, and every one was great. We did have to wait a few nights to get seated. The longest was the 1st formal evening, when we waited for 45 minutes (we arrived at 6:45). However, the wait was worth it as the lobster tails/shrimp dish was fantastic. I generally found the beef dishes less to my liking than the other entrees.
We had breakfast in the Platinum Dining Room three times. Great food and service. We always had a booth for 4 of us. Loved the eggs Benedict. Also the danish/sweet rolls served were awesome. We also used room service for coffee and danish in the early morning. Really enjoyed having the coffee on the balcony.
The shows were very good. The song and dance ones were excellent, but could have been a little shorter. The illusionist was awesome. We went to two comic shows. Both were at the adult shows. The first comedian used the f-bomb every other word, which really didn't add to his show (I'm not prude, either), but later in the cruise another comedian was hysterical. The music provided around the ship was really pretty good. I did think the piano guy in the piano bar was a little flat, so we didn't hang out there.
Lots of smoke in the casino, but they did have a non smoking section as well. Our cabin did not smell of smoke. I understand that there will be a new smoking policy starting Dec. 1st.
Don't miss the Fun Farewell Party on the last day. They really don't advertise it, just a little line in the Fun Times. It was at 5 PM in the Ebony lounge. They had a nice band and free drinks. Trays full they were bringing around, as well as anything else you wanted, just ask. There may have been 100 people there. It was great.
The best part of the cruise was the service. To a person, every employee was friendly and provided great service. It was amazing how they could remember your name. We had one waiter one night in the Golden Dining Room, and every time he saw us he would say "Hi, Mr. Jim, Ms. Debbie" We could be in another section of the dining room or up at the Red Sail. Very impressive.
Our weather was perfect. Every day was around 80 with a light breeze and no rain. The seas were perfect, a little bit rough on the last day and evening, but it just made you know you were at sea. The ports were great. Belize was probably our least favorite port. We had a private tour to Altun Ha ruins. The ruins were great, but it takes forever to get there on very rough roads. We used Island Marketing there.
At Cozumel, we went to the Money Bar and snorkeled there. Best snorkeling of the cruise.
Roatan was booked with Victor Bodden tours. We walked over a short but steep hill to meet our driver. We ended up at Mayan Princess hotel ($10 PP for a chair and use of facilities) on Tabyana Beach. Awesome! Snorkeled, $25 beach massage, fabulous beach, showers, pool.
Cayman was perfect as always. Went to Royal Palms at Seven Mile Beach. Shopped in town. Snorkeled at Eden Roc near the port.
As you can see, I'm going on and on. There are probably other things I could comment about. This is my 15th cruise. I've enjoyed them all. However, I couldn't get over the service and value that Carnival offers. I am organizing a second cruise for members of my husband's company for 2013. I intend to do it with Carnival after my experience on this ship. I loved the Glory. Less

Zillow Digs Brings Color Search and Match to iPad App
Users now can browse photos by color, match paint to brighten favorite spaces
Jul 17, 2013, 13:00 ET from Zillow, Inc.
SEATTLE, July 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow, Inc. (NASDAQ: Z), the leading real estate and home-related information marketplace, today added mobile color search and match to its growing home improvement business, Zillow® Digs™.

The Host Stephanie Meyer Movie
March 25, 2012 by staff
The Host Stephanie Meyer Movie, Apart from the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer has written just one other book: The Host, which is appropriately getting adapted for the big screen now that the Twilight engine is winding down. Starring Saoirse Ronan, it's about a race of aliens who survive by taking over the bodies of human beings, and one of them who begins to get a little guilty about the whole body snatchers act.
There's a teaser trailer, via Yahoo!, and judging solely from the imagery it looks like a combination of The Ring, Melancholia and every Internet conspiracy about lizard people ruling the world.
Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, The Truman Show, Lord of War) is heading this one up, and Ronan will be joined by William Hurt and Diane Kruger in key roles. With such a solid creative pedigree, it should at least be presentable — that is, if the Meyer connection doesn't throw you off. Some people have never gotten over what she did to vampires, but there are too many types of aliens in pop culture to get snitty about whether or not they should have feelings. The Host is out on March 29, 2013, which is quite some time away.

Spare seats have been hard to come by in Glebe Coroner's Court over the past two weeks. Top barristers, dozens of police, reporters from around the world and distraught family members have packed the courtroom for the high-profile inquest into the death of the Brazilian student Roberto Laudisio Curti.
At the back of the room, another family has quietly watched on. Kate Bosevski lost her brother, Steven, in eerily similar circumstances.
The rugby league fan was violently restrained and handcuffed after attacking police during a brawl at St George Leagues Club following their grand final win in 2010. Police struck him five times with a baton, including once when he was motionless on the ground.
Both Mr Bosevski and Mr Curti had taken drugs the nights they died. Both struggled with the police. Both were left face down in handcuffs on the ground. And both stopped breathing minutes later.
Yet, after two years and two inquests, the Bosevski family is still waiting for answers. A coroner is yet to make any recommendations and The Sun-Herald understands no date has been fixed for the findings to be handed down.
Police officers involved told the 2011 inquest they had used capsicum spray and Tasers on Mr Bosevski's two brothers, who had been extremely aggressive. One officer said he didn't put Mr Bosevski into the recovery position because he feared he would assault them.
Desperate for more information, Ms Bosevski took time off work last week and quietly sat in Glebe Coroner's Court, often with tears in her eyes.
"It's so distressing seeing another family go through this again," she said. "What if 16 months ago something had been enforced or recommended? Roberto might still be here."
Ms Bosevski has read thousands of pages about tactical weapons, positional asphyxia and police training. Her family has spent close to $100,000 on legal costs for a number of lawyers (including the top barrister Winston Terracini, SC) as well as other expenses.
Mr Bosevski's twin brother, Steve, 36, has become a shell of himself. His father was in an intensive-care unit after seeing footage of his son's final moments and his mother has been unwell, too.
Neither his parents nor his two brothers could bring themselves to talk to The Sun-Herald.
But recommendations are not what the Bosevski family wants.
"We didn't spend my parents' retirement money to go to court for some recommendations, we want justice," Ms Bosevski said. "What affects my mother the most is that her son is six feet under while these people are still walking around looking at the sun. Whether they wear a badge or not, they took this person's life."
In an emotional address to Glebe Coroner's Court this week, Mr Curti's sister Ana Luisa Laudisio de Lucca said she feared the police would be "too arrogant and too proud" to change.
Her brother "Beto" was chased by 11 officers in the early hours of March 18 after he jumped the counter of a convenience store in an LSD-induced psychotic state and took two packets of biscuits.
He was hit by a Taser nine times and restrained using three cans of capsicum spray, handcuffs, a baton and "half a tonne" of officers.
"We know that nothing is going to bring Beto back but it would be good to think there was a purpose to what happened to him," she said.
Counsel for the NSW Police Force, Bruce Hodgkinson, SC, told the State Coroner, Mary Jerram, change was happening. Guidelines for Taser and capsicum spray use were under review after Mr Curti's death, he said.
After Ms Jerram hands down her findings on November 14, Ms Laudisio and Ms Bosevski will meet for a coffee and share in the pain of losing the brothers they loved.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly said the family of Steven Bosevski, who died in 2010 after being restrained by police, had spent close to $100,000 on the barrister Winston Terracini, SC. In fact, that amount reflects legal costs for a number of lawyers, and other expenses.

300 Mag
I recently got a 300 weatherby magnum at walmart, does anyone else have one of these, can you tell me anything about it? Thanks
300 Weatherby Magnum
Great rifle for Elk bowling ! Long range accuracy and performance.
Needs a muzzle Brake and Limbsaver recoil pad to be comfortable to shoot !
Put a good scope on it...get some Weatherby ammo with the same lot number, sight it in and hunt the rest of your life with it ! Will take any game animal in North America without any problem !
same gun?
Just wondering if it is the same quality rifle you would get at the local gun store. Or do they use different specs for the big box store? I heard most Wal Marts stopped selling firearms.
I shoot a 300 ultramag, Remington 700 Sendero 11.
I can't beleave there is to much differance maybe 1 or 2 hundred feet per second one way or the other, the round is just like any other 30 cal, except it is designed to reach out there a little bit farther, or at closer ranges hit a little harder, the ammo is outragious I pay around 70.00 dollares a box after tax and everything, that is for twenty rounds. yours may be more or less, I also have a Weatherby chambered in 30-378 those I pay 129.00 a box at Gander Mountain, so I'm just guessing yours are more than mine not sure, I will tell you this the recoil is so that you don't want to sit down at the bench and run a box with out some sort of recoil reduseing product, I personaly bought a coldwell lead sled, It is worth every dime, you will see what I mean when you shoot it!!! the first 300 ultramag I bought I made the mistake of magnaporting it to reduse recoil it made the thing so loud that it would cause you to flinch just from the report!!! It's not so bad to hunt with as you are only going to shoot a few rounds, but to take out and play with as a shooter It will strait beat the hell out of you, I enjoy reloading so that makes a big differance in cost of shooting, I am on my third barrel now as I shoot alot of long range, I have recorded every shot, and barrel ware is high, I get about 1,600 rounds before any noticable deviation in accuracy, if you are going to use it as a hunter it ought to out last you, to give you an idea of the power these things deliver I was reading an artical the other day about the 300 ultramag and it stated it was the perfect round for stoping cement trucks at 1000 yards, it's true a 180 grain bullet at 1000 yards generates more energy than a 44 magnum at point blank range just something to think about!!! I love mine and will never part with it, I have bought 7mm .375 of the ultramag family also the way I see it is go big or go home!!! To tell you the truth When I'm not playing with these big boys, I just love my .204 Ruger talk about day and night, what a differance!!! Hope this helps.
:confused: Why would they use different "specs" for a box store? More urban legend/net-lore. No gunmaker in their right mind would use looser specs in manufacturing for this. There might be cosmetic differences at most but nothing that would draw the lawyers attention like blood in the water.
The .300 Weatherby sold at Wall-Mart is...
1. The same quality receiver as Roy Weatherby has always produced. It's very plain, and with a less costly (I don't like to call it 'Cheaper' because it isn't cheap, it's just not as costly and time consuming as Weatherby does on it's premium rifles) finish.
Same material, same heat treatment, same tolerances as the premium rifles.
2. Barrels are made by Kreiger's retail production facility.
They are NOT Kreiger match quality barrels.
A match barrel doesn't have any place on a 'Mountain Weight' hunting rifle anyway...
The Production barrel is very much sufficient for long range, accurate hunting shots.
3. IN MY OPINION, the stock needs some help.
Mine isn't rigid enough and likes to move around, so watch using the sling for a brace when shooting.
You are much better off using a rest and letting the sling hang.
Most people skimp and use aluminum optics mounts.
Get a good set of steel, preferably one piece top rail, mount that will expand and contract with the receiver instead of two little pieces of aluminum that expand & contract at TWICE the rate of steel moving your optics around!
These are pretty darn good barrels right off the assembly line, but they are like every production barrel, and full of metal burrs, scratches, ect.
Clean the crap out of the barrel, Fire a round, clean, fire, clean, ect. for the first 10 Rounds. (should have you optics in roughly by then)
Then shoot two rounds, clean, two, clean, two, clean for the next 10 rounds,
Then Three, clean, 3, clean, 3, clean for the next 9 rounds.
You should be able to get the barrel clean with just two or three patches by then... and the barrel is properly broken in and you are ready to do some serious accuracy zero and hunting...
My barrel has about 1,500 rounds through it and it's doing very well.
Took about 100 rounds for the barrel to reach it's full accuracy and settle in, but when it did, I'm getting 1/2" cold bore shots (with 3 shot fouled barrel) at 300 yards, so I'm very happy!
My barrel, like many others, simply will not tighten up with out some fouling shots, mine is 3, some are as much as five, some guys got lucky with only 1.
Everyone with this rifle is doing very similar, so it's pretty consistent.
(Kreiger doesn't make cheap barrels... Just some are less expensive than others)
I loathe to add weight for anything but optics, but I may stiffen up this stock later...
I did a Alaskan Grizzly this summer at about 550 yards, and the shot simply couldn't have been better, and I credit the rifle!
It didn't go 25 yards, and the shot went exactly where I was aiming, so I'm very pleased with it!
I've also taken WhiteTail, mule deer, Moose and I intend to Elk hunt with it this fall.

Adhesive materials need for bonding applications
Hot melt adhesive is a key component in many of today's complex manufacturing processes – including packaging, product assembly, woodworking, bookbinding, cable assembly and many other adhesive bonding applications.
Regardless of the application, unplanned downtime and lost production can cost businesses thousands of dollars each year. Manufacturer success requires consistent delivery of applied hot melt adhesive while fitting into streamlined production and assembly lines.
Innovative technology increases material options and efficiencies for the packaging industry
Traditional hot melt processing equipment utilizing heated tanks (or a variation of) is less efficient and negatively impacts the hot melt adhesive consistency and effectiveness. Packaging industry companies now have more material options with new, innovative hot melt technology.

Young hero Prabhas though made his debut with classical touch films, acquired mass image with Rajamouli's 'Chatrapathi'. However over the last few years he once again endeared himself to class movie lovers with family oriented films like 'Darling' and 'Mr.Perfect'. Both the films turned out to be sensational hits and when everyone thought he will continue with the same hit formula with his upcoming film 'Rebel', Prabhas sprang a surprise saying that the film is a NV dish. He went on to say that he was dying to have NV since his last two films turned out to be pure vegetarians.
This already made movie lovers worry about the final outcome of the film. Prabhas went on to say he changed track as he desired for long to have a non veg treat and also dreamt of offering the same to his fans. Now the question is whether Prabhas' non veg treat give the same kick he got while doing the film or will it aliniate movie lovers. One wonder what Prabhas really meant with his comments and what message he was thinking of giving to movie lovers. One has to wait and see what will be in the film as it contains two beautiful heroines Deeksha Seth and Tamanna.
