San Joaquin Asparagus Festival draws a considerable amount of visitors in the spring that come together to enjoy the fun, savor the food, and catch up with old friends, all while making new friends and memories!
In 2017, we are looking to bring in more non-profit groups to help with the festival, along with more asparagus dishes in a centralized location, fresh asparagus available at all entrances/exits, and more atm machines. The parking will be organized by a professional parking team to handle all the traffic coming into the venue as well as more bus routes and shuttles for the community. We anticipate over 85,000 people for 2017 and keeping the festival alive once again.

Fans of Zane's APF sorority stories, which have appeared in earlier collections including The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth, wanted more, and Zane has given it to them. Here is a book-length story about the sexy escapades of APF, a sorority dedicated to sexual freedom and the fulfillment of its members. Their on-campus antics are off the hook, and Zane, as ever, turns the heat up so high the pages are practically sizzling.
Mary Ann is the daughter of a chicken farmer from the Midwest. She has never been more than fifty miles from home and has led a sheltered life. By the time she goes off to college in Washington, DC, she has been intimate with only one man—her high school sweetheart. The resident manager of Mary Ann's dormitory, Patricia, befriends the country bumpkin. She finds Mary Ann amusing, but also senses something intriguing about her, hidden under the surface. After Mary Ann becomes smitten with Trevor, the campus playboy, Patricia is determined to show Mary Ann how not to be a victim, but rather how to outdo the players and heartbreakers. She indoctrinates Mary Ann into the ranks of the sexiest secret society ever: the sisters of APF.

"Zane's writing warms me, heats me up, satisfies me with a passion. This woman does incredible, erotic things with words. Read with a lover nearby." (Eric Jerome Dickey, New York Times bestselling author)
I was very interested in this and was surprised when it was done... wish this book went one for a while... I couldn't stop listening to it!!
"I'm Hooked!"
I would definitely recommend this audiobook to my friends. I am already a Zane fan and this was my first full segment audio book and I'm trying to join APF (LOL). Seriously, this medium is awesome. It will be a great add to my road trips! now not just music on my iPod but audio books.
This was my first book to listen to so I do not have any other books to make a comparison at this time.
Honestly, the alley scene between MaryAnn, Olive and Drayton. As a book reader with an avid imagination, I can already add character faces and imagine scenes quite vividly so this really adds to it.
yes. definitely wanted to listen to this all in one sitting. and i'm about to listen to another one as I continue my studies.
"That's How An Audiobook Should Be Read..."
Soror Ride Dick (Please)
When she decided to join the Sisters of APF.
The Aunt...I would want to know everything about how and why she helped start the APF...
Great Book...The Author is good at what she does with the writing of her books. I will continue to read her books.
Nicole-read this book with such passion that I felt like I was in the room of each scene.
I love that its from a females point of view. It felt real throughtout. It left great thoughts and intrigue in my mind. You never know what one has hidden deep within.
"Excellent story"
I really enjoyed this! Nicole"s voice was great for this story she definitely kept me interested!! Zane never disappoints
"Phenomenal from start to finish!"
such a great story and the character development wqs flawless! a definite musr read! seriously!
"overall good"

Trouble with wireless bridge
Reposted from dlink forum:
I have the following layout: dir-615v2 wirelessly connected to dap-1522 with several network devices attached. This was working seamlessly for over a month. Now they're not. No changes have been done to either product since I first configured it. FYI: Bridge is in bridge mode.
1. Computers connected to the router cannot see the devices connected to the bridge
2. Computers connected via ethernet to the bridge cannot get ip address nor internet access (one in the same)
3. Computers connected via ethernet to the bridge cannot get the bridge web page to load (after reset)
4. Computers connected via ethernet to the bridge can ONLY SEE devices if computer is given a static ip
5. Computers connected via ethernet to the bridge cannot ping bridge (default ip or custom static) nor connected to the internet once computer has static ip
6. Wireless bridge appears on router, but attached network devices do not
I do not know what else to try or if I should exchange it at the store...

Warm salad of Gorgonzola cheese and honey-roasted peaches
Warm salad of Gorgonzola cheese and honey-roasted peaches: Serves four.
25g/1oz butter
4 large peaches, halved or quartered
and stoned
150ml/5fl oz runny honey
Juice of ½ lemon
2 fresh thyme sprigs
Mixed lettuce leaves
110g/4oz Gorgonzola cheese,
Melt the butter in a large frying pan until bubbling, add the peaches and mix them around until they are coated in the butter. Cook gently for two minutes until just beginning to soften. Add the honey to the pan together with the lemon juice and the thyme, then bring the mixture to the boil and cook for one to two minutes until the peaches are fully caramelised, which will happen because of the honey reduction.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for a moment or two. Arrange the lettuce leaves in a large bowl. Top with the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and neatly arrange the roasted peaches on top.
Drizzle with the thyme-infused honey left in the pan.

The Node world has been getting heated lately...
If you've been keeping up with Node news you already know about Joyent creating a Node advisory board. If you haven't, that Joyent blog post is worth the read to get a sense of how big players in the area feel about the Node community and growth pattern (whether you agree with this move or not is a separate issue). People aren't just fighting over Node though, they're also thinking about how to expand it beyond some of its basic limits, such as multi-threading with Node and becoming more mobile friendly. And last but not least of Node outliers that didn't make the main resource list, the opinion that if the community ends up loving Node so much that we kill it (a terrible movie premise), Node would crumble into Javascript. Well wouldn't that be tragic...

Confidence Game
After fighting to become No. 1 in the world, David Duval found it much tougher to stay there.
Updated: July 10, 2003, 5:17 PM ETBy Ivan Maisel
The game had always been his safe haven. Even as a boy, David Duval found comfort on fairways and greens. Even as he wondered how he'd survive the wounds inflicted by the outside world, golf confirmed for him the greatness he had inside. Nowhere was that more true than when he stood on the tee box. With driver in hand, Duval knew without thinking what would happen next. By 1999, when he overtook Tiger Woods as the No. 1 golfer in the world, Duval drove the ball so long and so straight that highway stripe-painters came to watch him work.

Awakening the inner Grinch
"Shops seen to be revelling too much in the festive season risk damaging sales figures by driving away stressed-out customers, experts have warned," The Daily Telegraph reports. "A study has discovered that overly jolly staff, bright decorations and Yuletide hits like Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody are a turn-off for shoppers. With stress levels running high amid the pressures of getting everything prepared for Christmas, cheerfully run stores make people less inclined to spend money, the University of Oxford research found. Faced with exuberant sales assistants or shops holding Christmas celebrations, many customers may even flee empty-handed, the report warns."
Staying still at the North Pole
"Standing at the North Pole is an unnerving experience," says Frozen Planet: A World Beyond Imagination. "The ground beneath you looks like any piece of snow-covered frozen land. It's not. It's sea ice, and just a few metres of it separate you from the freezing Arctic Ocean – more than 4 kilometres deep at this point. The ice is also constantly on the move. Driven by wind and ocean currents, it can drift up to 40 kilometres in a day. … The planet rotates around the axis that connects the North Pole and the South Pole, and so in one sense, if you stand at 90 degrees north – actually at the North Pole – you are more truly stationary there than anywhere else on the planet (except, of course, the South Pole)."
A handy wallet
"When students in Pinellas County schools fill up their lunch trays in the cafeteria and walk over to the cash registers, they just wave their hands and move on to have lunch with their friends," Scientific American reports. "Schools in this Florida county have installed square-inch sensors at the registers that identify each student by the pattern of veins in his or her palm. Buying lunch involves no cards or cash. Their hands are the only wallets they need. The Fujitsu PalmSecure system they are using allows these young people to get through the line quickly – wait times have been cut in half since the program started – an important consideration in a school where lunch is only 30 minutes long."
The crime of the century?
"Metal theft," reports The Futurist, "may become one of the biggest criminal activities of the 21st century, warns University of Indianapolis criminologist Kevin Whiteacre. Targets may include construction sites, vehicle parts, plumbing and electrical equipment, and public infrastructure, where thieves see value not just in the manufactured goods themselves but also in their component metals."
Getting tough on burps
"A 13-year-old was handcuffed and hauled off to a juvenile detention for burping in class, according to a lawsuit filed against an Albuquerque, N.M., school principal, a teacher and city police officer," reports Associated Press. "The boy was transported without his parents being notified in May after he 'burped audibly' in PE class and his teacher called a school resource officer to complain he was disrupting her class. … The suit was one of two filed Wednesday by civil rights attorney Shannon Kennedy, who says she has been fighting the district and police for years over the use of force with problem children."
The chewing-gum edge
"Good news for students and worrying parents as researchers discover a quick and easy method to boost final exam scores," says Psych Central. "In a new study, researchers determined [that]chewing gum for five minutes before taking a test improves test scores. However, students should use the initial boost judiciously as the benefits extend for only the first 15 to 20 minutes of the testing. St. Lawrence University psychologist Dr. Serge Onyper conducted a study that showed that students who chewed gum for five minutes before taking a test did better on the test than non-gum-chewing students. 'Mastication-induced arousal' is credited for the boost, which lasted for about the first 20 minutes or so of testing. Results of the study were published in the journal Appetite."

Rep. Steven LaTourette supports national right-to-carry
The National Rifle Association and the Buckeye Firearms Council both are reporting that Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Bainbridge Township) voted "yea" on Wed., Nov. 16, to help pass H.R. 822, the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act."
The bill - which faces an uphill battle in the Senate and an almost certain veto by President Obama - would allow any law-abiding concealed carry permit holder to legally carry a concealed firearm while visiting any state that does not prohibit concealed carry.

House reaffirms 'In God We Trust' as U.S. motto
H. Con. Res. 13 is a resolution "Reaffirming 'In God We Trust' as the official motto of the United States and supporting and encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions." If you're interested in reading the entire resolution (it's very short), you can see it as a PDF, an XML file or the printer-friendly version.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. J. Randy Forbes, a Republican from Virginia's Fourth District. It was introduced in the House back in January (and gained 64 cosponsors), and on Nov. 1 was passed in the House by a 396-9 vote (two members of the House voted "present," while 26 did not vote). On Nov. 2, it was received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Check out the Final Vote Results for Roll Call 816 to see how all the members of the House voted. Republican Steven C. LaTourette of Ohio's 14th District and Democrat Marcia Fudge of Ohio's 11th District both voted in favor of the resolution.
You can also read the text of the dialogue from when H. Con. Res. 13 was brought to the floor.
According to Voterama in Congress, critics said time would be better spend on a jobs bill. The Washington Post quoted President Barack Obama sharing the same sentiment:
"In the House of Representatives, what have you guys been doing, John?" Obama said, calling out House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).Read more from the Washington Post's story on the resolution.
"You've been debating a commemorative coin for baseball. You've had legislation reaffirming that 'In God We Trust' is our motto. That's not putting people back to work," Obama said. "I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work."
The House is in recess this week.

Intrusion Detection System Based on 802.11 Specific Attacks
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are a major line of defense for protecting network resources from illegal penetrations. A common approach in intrusion detection models, specifically in anomaly detection models, is to use classifiers as detectors. Selecting the best set of features is central to ensuring the performance, speed of learning, accuracy, and reliability of these detectors as well as to remove noise from the set of features used to construct the classifiers. In most current systems, the features used for training and testing the intrusion detection systems consist of basic information related to the TCP/IP header, with no considerable attention to the features associated with lower level protocol frames.

CONYERS - The Department of Motor Vehicle Safety is piloting a new program aimed at reducing wait times for teens getting their driver's licenses. In an action initiated by the Legislature earlier this year, teens can now show proof of taking certain private driving courses to bypass the tests given by the state.

The state driving agency partners with local driving schools, who give teens at least 30 hours of classroom training and six hours of driving time.
The teens may take a final test at the driving school, then take a certificate of completion to the DMVS for issuance of their driver's license. The program will be offered at 11 schools in Georgia for the next six months. After the testing period, the Legislature may vote whether to expand the system statewide. DMVS spokeswomen Susan Sports said the reason for the new service was to combat long wait times teens were experiencing in getting an appointment for on-the-road testing.

I recently wrote a hub about Nelson Mandela and this got me to thinking - this venerable gentleman, who turns 94 on 18 July 2012, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. The former South African president spent 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity and social justice.
Then in 2009, United States president Barack Obama was awarded the same prize, twelve days after he took office.
Asked recently about something he failed to accomplish, Obama pointed to the very subject for which he was awarded the prize... the failure to achieve peace in the Middle East.
I am not anti-Obama, I do not even live in the United States. But the news I read hardly puts him in the same light as Mandela, other than in the eyes of the Nobel Committee.
Hi Grumpi. Thanks for launching this thread.
May I make one correction to your OP statement? The committee announced President Obama would be the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize in October 2009, nine months after he took office. Following the announcement, Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, explained why President Obama's creation of a new climate in international politics closely fulfils the statues of Alfred Nobel's will. (1)
The prize was awarded to the President in December 2009 "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world free from nuclear weapons."
The President commented that the Nobel Prize had not just been used to honor specific achievements, but also to give momentum to a set of causes. He considered his Prize "a call to action".
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/ … peech.html
Thanks for your further info. I understand the principle of a call to action and the effort to give momentum. My question though: Is that really the way to do it? Does that not detract from the prize given to a man who really deserves it - Mandela?

World oil prices advanced Wednesday on the back of a weak dollar and strong Chinese crude imports as the market waited for a crucial OPEC output meeting in Vienna, traders said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in November, gained 1.23 dollars to 82.90 dollars a barrel.
London's Brent North Sea crude for November delivery added 99 cents to 84.49 dollars.
"The price of oil has climbed above 82 dollars a barrel again, thanks to a weaker US dollar and more robust import figures from China, but is still well below the level reached last week," said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.
"China imported a record volume of crude oil of 5.67 million barrels a day in September, a year-on-year rise of 35 percent."
In foreign exchange deals on Wednesday, the European single currency topped 1.40 dollars again as the US unit came under pressure from the prospect of further US monetary policy easing.
Minutes from last month's US Federal Reserve policy meeting showed Tuesday that the central bank anticipates additional stimulus may be needed soon to prop up a slackening economic recovery.
A weaker dollar boosts demand for dollar-priced oil, which becomes cheaper for buyers using stronger currencies.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, the Paris-based International Energy Agency hiked its forecast for global demand this year by 300,000 barrels per day to 86.9 million barrels per day and by the same amount to 88.2 mbpd in 2011.
The latest forecasts, contained in the IEA's monthly report, represented annual increases of 2.5 percent and 1.4 percent respectively.
SEB Commodity Research strategist Filip Petersson expressed surprise at the upward revisions.
"We were quite surprised to see the substantial revision higher since our expectations were that 2010 estimates would remain largely unchanged and 2011 estimates would be revised slightly lower due to the high level of recovery uncertainty at the moment," Petersson told AFP.
"However, the IEA is obviously seeing an unexpected demand recovery in the OECD that pushes their estimates a notch higher.
"Meanwhile, Chinese trade data shows that import demand is stronger than ever.
"Emerging markets thus continue to drive demand growth while developed markets offer a solid demand base. From that perspective, the revision higher appears fact-based and well motivated."

The changing of the Eagle Disc Brake Pads is determined by the smoothness of the discs on the vehicle and the aggressiveness of the driver when they apply the brakes to stop the vehicle. Generally the only time the discs are damaged is when the disc brake pads are permitted to wear out past their normal replacement point. This is when the metal backing plate makes direct contact with the disc cutting grooves in the otherwise smooth surface of this braking component.
To know about the correct time for the replacement of the Eagle disc brake pads, the owner of the vehicle can observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder. As the disc brake pads wear on your Eagle vehicle the piston in the caliper moves out to compensate for the loss of material on the pads. This movement draws hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder. When the brake master cylinder's reservoir appears to be in need of filling up, the disc brake pads are sufficiently wore to the point that replacement is recommended. This observation should be periodically completed on the Eagle when the other components under the hood are inspected. This inspection should also include the condition of the coolant hoses and drive belt along with the many other fluid levels that should be checked regularly.
The replacement of the disc brake pads on the front end of your Eagle does not require the brake hydraulic system to be opened so there is no need to bleed the system after it is completed. The time required for this brake procedure to be completed is generally less than half an hour if the parts are already on hand by the owner.

It's a look inside the tragic life of a sex trafficking victim. A Texas woman is testifying in a St. Louis courtroom, speaking against the man accused of bringing her here to sell her body.
The federal indictment tells the story of the ultimate control the accused sex trafficker had over the woman, even down to when she could eat.
Thomas Szczerba is on trial accused of bringing the woman from Houston to St. Louis to sell her for sex.
The indictment states that he, along with Keisha Edwards, advertised the woman on trafficking sites and rented hotel rooms in St. Louis to carry out the prostitution.
The paperwork states the couple met the woman in the summer of 2015 where she was working as an exotic dancer in Houston, coerced her into prostitution and sold her body in several states.
Szczerba is accused of threatening her, monitoring her movements and cell phone and even dictating when she could eat as a way to control her.
"Control is a really major aspect in trafficking relationships," said Hope Jernagan, who runs Magdalene St. Louis, a non-profit facility for survivors of sex-exploitation and addiction.
Her beds are almost always full and there's a waiting list.
She's not surprised the woman was taken to St. Louis. It's a sex trafficking hot spot, according to Jernagan, because of its centralized location.
"Also, there's a lot of poverty in St. Louis and what we do know is that where there's high population a of people living below the poverty line, there's also a huge correlation of trafficking victims and traffickers," said Jernagan.
Szczerba is also accused of not letting the woman rest until she reached her daily quota of one-thousand dollars.
His trial continues in federal court in downtown St. Louis. His accomplice, Keisha Edwards, pled guilty.

Donny Varper is a "Material Boy"
Nicaragua's leading gay alien Madonna impersonator Donny Varper is back and bringing the crazy in a new video we can't stop watching. "Material Boy" starts with Donny wandering the desert in harem girl drag and ends with him crucified on what appears to be the rhinestone-encrusted dollar sign from a D-list rapper's chain. Also, there's something on his crotch we can't quite identify—although not being able to identify things in the crotchular area on Donny Varper is kind of a given. Basically, it's what we were hoping the Madonna Grammy performance would be like, instead of whatever that vogue-ing matador bullshit was she laid on us instead. At least at the BRIT Awards, they got to watch her eat it.
The video can't be embedded. Why, Donny, why?! Don't fear the embed. But fine, you can watch the goddamn thing on YouTube.
Donny keeps promising to answer some of our questions…and oh yes, we have questions…in a video interview, if we can just get our shit together and send him some damn questions. It'll happen eventually, we promise.
Let's stick a fork in this World Cup with Donny Varper
The World Cup is finally over, which means us Americans can stop pretending to care about soccer and the rest of the planet can get back to their lives. I must admit, I watched more of it than usual this year, but except for that one awesome match where Germany stomped Brazil into the turf, I watched most of it out of the corner of my eye while I was doing more interesting things, like scraping Cheeto dust off my couch cushions and trying to turn my vuvuzela into a beer bong. Jesus, world, could you maybe pick a more interesting sport to be obsessed over? Try golf or something. At least in that game, the ball goes into the hole once in awhile.
But yes, the World Cup is a big deal, the one sporting event that unites the whole planet and blah blah blah. So we here at Weird Band HQ would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge it in some way. Fortunately, gay Nicaraguan leprechaun Donny Varper is here to help. Donny wrote a song in honor of the World Cup called "GOL" and as with all transmissions from the Planet Varper, it's amazing. Can you feel that Cup in your heart, Germany?
So see you in four years, World Cup. I'm sure there will be plenty more Cheeto dust in my couch cushions by then.
Donny Varper
Anyone know if Michael Jackson visited Nicaragua sometime in the late '80s? If he did—and sired an illegitimate child during his stay—that's one of two possible explanations for the existence of the exotic creature known as Donny Varper. The other possible explanation? That he really is, as he claims, from another galaxy.
We first learned of Nicaragua's weirdest progeny by way of a great little website called EarBleed.com, which is kinda like our site except that—as you might have surmised from the name EarBleed.com—most of the music they feature is fucking awful. I suppose Donny Varper's stuff is kinda awful, too—it's basically just shlocky dance-pop, with lots of stabby synths and cheesy breakdowns and Auto-Tuned vocals—but it's catchy and filled with random references to UFOs and aliens and Aztec aliens who came to Earth in UFOs and…oh, hell, just watch and listen for yourself.
Brilliant, right? He's like a Lady Gaga impersonator who dropped acid at a Blasted Mechanism concert and had a vision of Jesus and Quetzalcoatl swooping down in a flaming chariot and abducting him into an episode of Ancient Aliens.
We don't know much more about Varper, except that he lists his gender as "electronic pop" (which kinda makes sense, actually) and he claims to be from another galaxy but now, according to his Facebook page, lives in Los Angeles. If that last part is true: Donny, hit us up! We'd love to be the first (as far as we can tell) American blog to interview you and help you spread your music of cosmic love to the English-speaking masses.
We'll leave you with Varper's catchiest and most batshit creation, a little song and video called "E.T." that should really, if there is any hope left for humanity, become the next "Gangnam Style." I look forward to your parody videos, YouTube Nation. Get on it.

Oct. 27 – Operating at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour (220 miles per hour), China's domestically built CRH380 train began service between Shanghai and Hangzhou on Tuesday.
The new US$4.4 billion ultra high-speed railway cuts the previous transit time in half, making the 202 kilometer run from Shanghai's new Hongqiao Railway Station to Hangzhou Station in about 45 minutes.
During testing, the CRH380 was clocked at 420 kilometers per hour (262 mph), setting a new world record. The achievement is a well-deserved victory for China's ambitious high-speed rail program which is expected to have 42 passenger rail lines and a total track length of 13,000 kilometers by 2012.
Included in that 2012 forecast is the US$32.5 billion, 1,318-kilometer (824 mile) Beijing-to-Shanghai high-speed rail project that will cut the travel time between the nation's political and commercial centers to just under four hours.
Wang Yongping, spokesman for China's Railway Ministry, said that all the technology, design and equipment used to construct the CRH380 is China's own, but he acknowledged that the program began in cooperation with Japan and other countries.
"Now other countries are wanting to cooperate with us. They all want our technology," Wang told reporters on Tuesday.
Tickets for the new Shanghai-to-Hangzhou high-speed rail went on sale last Friday at RMB82 for a 2nd class seat and RMB131 for a 1st class ticket departing from Shanghai's Hongqiao Railway station 45 times daily. Prices go up to RMB98 for a 2nd class seat and RMB156 for 1st class tickets during the five daily trips that leave from Shanghai Station (07:50, 09:01, 14:50, 18:29, and 20:19).
Rail travel is the preferred mode of transportation for many Chinese, so the country's efforts to replace outdated, slower trains with new high-speed rail systems are well intended, and necessary. But escalating train fares have prompted complaints from some passengers who would rather forgo the speedy transit in exchange for a cheaper ticket.

What tribe is WBCW associated with?
sort by best latest
I got eager to know about this White Buffalo Calf Woman and googled it. I came to know that she belonged to Lakota (not sure) and she possessed divine magical powers who taught the people about Seven Sacred Rituals. You might have gone through it already. But, I am providing a link to the wikipedia page here.
Hi Venkatachari and thank you for answering. I learned about White Buffalo Calf Woman and the Seven Sacred Rituals many years ago. And yes, it is the Lakota people she came to.
I first learned about White Buffalo Calf Woman through a video lesson sponsored by Radiant Rose Academy online. She, through the messenger Usa, talked about the pure hearts of her Lakota people (and the Native American Indians). She explained that alcohol was a plague to her people, as their genetics cannot handle the substance as the white race. She requested that listeners, as members of the I AM race (America, letters juxtaposed) request blessings and Violet Flame to assist Native Americans in overcoming addiction. I did the fiat several days, but am not doing it currently. White Buffalo Calf Woman promised assistance to whoever fulfilled her request. (I'm not consciously aware of receiving her help, but respect her.)
This is not the White Buffalo Calf Woman I am referring to, Marie. What you are referring to seems to be someone who is channeling (?). There is an old Lakota legend from Nicholas Black Elk that explains WBCW and the sacred rituals. Thank you.

Search for Homes
Windermere Real Estate/BI, Inc.
Today much of our world (the island) went back to work and school after the two week winter holiday season. We put the 2016 real estate market to bed only last week and jumped into the 2017 market today at out first office meeting. Last year seemed fast and furious, although as you can see below the volume of sales, overall, was on par, if not slightly less than 2015. The lower inventory with the steady stream of buyers meant more multiple offer situations, hence the frenzy I am still feeling from 2016.
Many buyers were downsizing out of higher priced markets (California, Vancouver BC, Manhattan, even Bellevue) into our island's luxury homes, sometimes at half the price. The fact that the Pacific Northwest and Bainbridge Island, specifically, is still a relative bargain over places like California will keep the market going strong into 2017, I predict.
Land volume was down in 2016, but several large parcels acquired in 2015 are now being developed into neighborhoods like the DR Horton neighborhoods on Wyatt and Weaver. Those developments will help relieve the inventory shortage a bit.
The market is always changing. Whether you are a buyer or seller there are strategies to consider for your success. We are a very seasonal market (most activity in the summer). Depending on your goal knowing the ins and outs of timing and preparation as you enter the market (as buyer or seller) can translate into thousands of dollars saved or earned. Being a buyer or seller in the slower shoulder market can be advatageous for some, although waiting until peak summer market could be better for others. If you are thinking about jumping into the market in 2017, let's chat.
All data taken from the NWMLS as of 1/3/2017.
If you consider only the number of homes (or condos) that sold during the first quarter of this year, your initial reaction would probably be, "Ho hum." Look carefully, though, and you will see some interesting things. If you include what is happening now, in mid-April, you might get even more intrigued.
There were 55 homes sales in the first quarter this year, compared to 56 last year, which indicates stability more than improvement. Nonetheless, these are good numbers compared to 2008 (when there were only 34 sales) and 2009 (with 37 sales). Condos dropped from 19 sales in 2011 to 12 this year.
So far, not a lot to get excited about. But when we look at the median price, we had a 6.2% increase. Our first quarter median price has been declining steadily since its peak in 2008 – until this year. When you look at the distribution of the sales, the median increase becomes clear. Sales over $800K were up 320% from last year. In all of 2011, there were 24 sales over $1 million; this year we have already had 12 just in the first quarter. (I cannot help but point out Windermere Bainbridge was involved in 10 of those 12 sales and Windermere represented 50% of the parties involved.)
On March 30th, there were only 59 homes under contract. By April 5th, there were 74 homes under contract. By April 10th, there were 80. Of those 80, 22 are over $800K and 13 over $1 million. We have not seen these kinds of numbers in several years. Not only are the numbers good, they have grown quickly this month.
Over the past five years, we have had strong individual quarters like the first quarter just ended. But we could not sustain the momentum, and poor performance followed. In 2011, the first quarter was up 14% but then dropped 14% in the second quarter (from the previous year). Our market has gone up and down on an almost quarterly basis while prices have steadily decreased. Now we see a strong first quarter, prices inching higher and a very strong start to the second quarter. These are all positive indicators. Optimism is beginning to creep in, but it will take more time for many of us to feel comfortable making any proclamations. We've been lured by the sirens before only to find ourselves on the rocks.
Many folks are doing spring cleaning and home maintenance this time of year. Yes, locals, ignore the rain outside today, it IS spring. I keep a list of professionals I work with and you might find their names and numbers helpful as you work through your own 'To Do List.' Their info is here in this post, but the same info also resides on my website under the COMMUNITY tab, here. I personally, or my clients, have used these local professionals before, during or after a sale. Although I recommend these professionals, I do not guarantee their performance and suggest you research their credentials.

I am well aware that although my website has a lot of information about Bainbridge, it also has a lot of information about me – blah, blah, blah . . . I think my life is pretty darn normal, but I hope it gives you the window into life on Bainbridge you are looking for. That is the basic goal of this blog, to provide the vista into Bainbridge Island life I could not find when I was researching Bainbridge from my laptop in California.
But, after a flurry of recent closings this summer and fall, I started thinking about the similarities among many of my buyers. Many of my buyers come from my website and feel like they know me a little bit before we even meet. That is a great thing.
But as someone who might be considering buying yourself, you might be interested to know what type of folks I work with and where they come from.
This category makes up the majority of my buyers. Some I start working with before they step foot on the island, others have been here renting for a few months. My perspective on relocating, the fact that I have young kids in school and that I am primarily a buyer's agent appeals to them. Most of these buyers are second time buyers and most of them have purposely chosen Bainbridge and then looked for a job to get them here. Most of the families have at least one adult who commutes to Seattle via ferry on a regular basis. Most have looked at the East Side of Seattle as a housing option, but turned to Bainbridge for a smaller community, yet a strong school system. Many of these folks have come from California, southern and northern, a few have been from southern states and a number are from back east. A handful have been from Canada. Some folks have bought in neighborhoods in town and others have opted to purchase a home on an acre or so outside of town. Most folks have looked for this to be a 5-10 year home. As prices have declined, more of these buyers are first-time buyers, but the majority coming to Bainbridge are not.
More and more I am working with families who have lived in Seattle for 5-10 years. Most have children just starting school and although they have loved living in Seattle, they aren't excited about the Seattle School District. They want to keep their current job and look to Bainbridge for the ferry commute and a place where they can buy a home and get a little more space, both inside and outside. Most of these folks have owned homes in Seattle and hope to stay in their Bainbridge purchase for at least ten years.
Bainbridge is not urban Seattle. Where the fast paced urban life is fun for some, it is exactly what some other couples are looking to escape. These couples are typically buying smaller homes (under 2,000 square feet) on lots one acre or larger. They are planting gardens and raising chickens. They love the trails and the peace and quiet of Bainbridge. For most of these folks this is not a first purchase and most commute to Seattle for work.
Again, 'purposely choosing Bainbridge' is a theme here. Many couples have looked forward to moving to Bainbridge after they retire. Many of these folks are downsizing from larger, maybe family homes into smaller homes, town homes or condos in Winslow. 'Simplify' is a word I hear a lot from these clients. They are happy to not take care of a yard and love being able to walk into town to catch the ferry, shop for groceries, or grab a cup of coffee with a friend.
And lastly, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am working with investors. These folks are purchasing homes to rent for a ten year horizon. Investors aren't sitting back waiting anymore. They are acting. The rental horizon for the next ten years is solid and many investors are buying with cash and calculating that their income stream is better than the stock market. Many of these clients are on the island, but a few have come to me from my website too. All of these folks own one or two homes, but are looking for investment rental income. Newer homes in town and near the ferry are appealing, as are condos and town homes. And . . builders are slowly starting to ask about and look into buying vacant land, considering subdividing land and building spec houses. A good sign of things to come.

On July 12, 2010 we launched our boat into a sea of cooking, chef and recipe sites. Toque's slightly different angle on food writing–the culture and history and eccentricity that lurk behind a seemingly mainstream topic–is refreshing (we hope) and provocative (we really hope).
In this new age of open journalism, tightly curated publications are fast becoming the exception rather than the rule. In our list of the top ten best food stories for our first year, the majority of the ideas came from "the outside." Smart, thoughtful, creative people–some acquaintances, some complete strangers–pitched us or simply gave us suggestions, and we took them.
Without further ado, we'd like to highlight the ten articles that made food journalism history this year–or at least, they should have.
Top 10 Toque Stories
1. Newsflash for Restaurants: Forget the Flash. Terence Carter's warning to restaurateurs and web designers about abusing Flash on their sites was an eye-opener. This revelation was not exactly new–in fact Jakob Nielsen's seminal post titled Flash: 99% Bad, appeared in October 2000. "About 99 percent of the time, the usage of Flash on a site constitutes a usability disease," he declared. Ten years later, Carter concurs and goes further to point out how poorly Flash behaves in the mobile environment–if it bothers showing up at all.
2. Portrait of a Moonshiner. A glimpse into the life–and ultimate suicide–of Popcorn Sutton reveals an unvarnished portrait of an unapologetic backwoods whiskey maker. Through the eyes of those he left behind–sons, daughter Sky, wives–Arianna Armstrong helps us understand why such a life would be chosen, let alone clung to until death. "You can say it was illegal and we don't like to break the law, but when it comes down to breaking the law and feeding the family, or not feeding the family, we feed the family."
3. Whittling Away at Food Waste. The food cycle doesn't end in our mouths–in fact it doesn't end at all. Laurie Wiegler's brilliant dumpster diving illustrates the challenge restaurants face in reducing their waste, particularly cooking oil. "Each year, about 2.6 billion gallons of used cooking oil is generated in the U.S. It is reused and disposed of in various ways, most promisingly as an additive to make biofuels."
4. Rise of the Fast Casual Salad. Not too hard to understand–more and more people ordering salads as their main course, and restaurateurs are paying attention. For anyone with painful flashbacks to the early days of
salmonella salad bars, Elina Shatkin's report on high-end greens at fast-food prices will be good news. "In the last few years, several fast-casual chains have set out to make salads accessible and affordable by merging fast-food efficiency with slow-food ideals. Forget about salads as a side-dish. These days, they're the main course."
5. Lüchow's: America's Most Famous German Restaurant. Whew–people are still interested in history. Or maybe it's just a fascination with restaurant obits. For 100 years, Lüchow's ruled the fine dining scene from its throne at 14th and Broadway. How a restaurant like Lüchow's could ever dwindle away to a distant memory is a mystery. But Satenig St. Marie brings this extraordinary restaurant alive again with her vivid description of August Guido Lüchow, the food, the patrons and the downright gemütlichkeit-ness of it all.
6. Serving Up Creativity in a Down Economy. We're still waiting for that down economy to start pointing upwards again. Steve Cooper unearthed a couple of entrepreneurs in the food business who decided not to wait and instead tailored their business model to thrive on the downside. Like a donut shop owner who caters weddings between the breakfast rush times. Or a wine shop owner leasing space in a low-rent office park. If that doesn't sound very smart, you're wrong. Click through and see for yourself.
7. First, You Make a Roux. Whether you are a gumbo gu-roux or have never come within 10 feet of making sauce from scratch, you'll still love Clay Curtis' hilarious description of how to make a good roux. After filing his story, Clay dropped off a nice-sized portion of the resulting gumbo at our house. Thanks, Clay, but it was nowhere near big enough.
8. Cuckoo for Loco Moco. One of our first features and still getting major click-through action, Cuckoo for Loco Moco follows Elina Shatkin with Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo (of Animal and Son of a Gun fame) as they eat their way through gorgeous mounds of….well, Shatkin describes it best. "A mountain of white rice covered with hamburger patties, grilled onions, eggs and brown gravy – lots of brown gravy – loco moco is a starchy, meaty, hearty mess, not for the faint of heart."
9. A Proust Moment. Permeating so many of our senses (sight, smell, taste), food is hands-down the ultimate time machine. In this V-Day story we asked a bunch of chefs and food lovers to describe what it is that triggers their Proust moment. The weird thing is, we never got the same answer twice.
10. Marijuana as Food Flavoring. This inside look at how marijuana has moved beyond its brownie-ingredient beginnings to become a promising additive in "food that medicates" is fascinating and educational. My expectations about it being the piquant replacement for parsley were unfounded. Pot pretty much tanks as flavoring, as Katherine Spiers found out in her interviews. But in some kitchens it definitely has a place.

How a Qualified ADHD Coach can Help College Students be Successful
College students with ADD/ADHD may face challenges that feel overwhelming. Before college, parents may have advocated for their children and helped them keep track of their homework, stay organized and complete tasks and assignments. Teachers may have broken assignments up into manageable chunks and reminded students about upcoming tests or quizzes.

Stencil-nanopatterned back reflectors for thin-film amorphous silicon n-i-p solar cells
We fabricated amorphous silicon n-i-p solar cells with two types of nanopatterned back reflectors using stencil lithography. One reflector type has a plasmonic grating that is embedded in the ZnO layer; the other one has a metallic grating patterned on top of the Ag layer. From comparing the short-circuit current densities of the two device types, we conclude that light trapping through grating coupling is more efficient than coupling of light through the excitation of localized surface plasmons. The back reflectors were patterned with dot arrays by evaporation of Ag through millimeter-size stencil membranes. The stencils themselves were patterned by wafer-scale nanosphere lithography. The dot arrays have a periodicity of 428 nm and efficiently scatter light in the near-infrared wavelength range. Both back reflectors types lead to the same morphology for the silicon films. This allows us a fair comparison of the two light coupling mechanisms. We found a 14% and 19% short-circuit current density enhancement for the plasmonic and for the metallic grating, respectively. The external quantum efficiency gains between 550 and 650 nm show similar guided modes resonances for both device types, but the excitation is stronger for the device with the metallic grating.
