Bandon Face Rock

The locally famous "Face Rock" in Bandon, Oregon, USA. Lots of photographers flock to this small coastal town these days. You see ads for tours to Bandon in magazines such as Outdoor Photographer. This small town has changed much from the 1980s when I went to high school there.

Sunset of the Gods
By isaacsloan
December 7th, 2013
I stepped outside of my house last weekend to an amazing sunset during a thunderstorm. I grabbed my gear and ran up on a hill (most of the lightning was in the distance), set my camera on a tripod and focused on the storm just as it started raining on me. I quickly set my shutter speed to 1/3 of a second so as to increase my chances of catching lightning and set my intervalometer to take a shot every second
I spent the next 3 minutes holding my shirt over my camera to protect it from the rain. I think it was worth it.

Beautiful Home
We gathered here for my parents 50th Anniversary celebration. This home is beautiful and the views are incredible. We loved sitting in the porch swings and the gathering area is fantastic. The owners were great to deal with and everything went great. We will definitely go back.
This location was just perfect, especially for my out-of-state friends. A great taste of mountain living in Colorado. We loved it. The turkey flock made it particularly specially, showing up from time to time. And the view at the top of the ridge was spectacular! Thank you. This will be a definite repeat.

Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters sizzle as Cavs dominate Bobcats
Cleveland, OH, United States (4E Sports) – Kyrie Irving scored 22 points and Dion Waiters added 19 as the Cleveland Cavaliers blew by the Charlotte Bobcats, 122-95, Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cavs captured their second consecutive win and more importantly improved their record to 15-34, thanks to another terrific effort from their backcourt.
Fresh from stunning the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavs jumped on a hot start as they chalked up 32 points in the first quarter alone. With Irving and Waiters leading the way, the Cavs sustained their momentum and finished the first half of play with 65-41 lead at the break.
The Cavs continued their hot shooting in the third, topping their previous scoring output in the first two quarter with 35 third quarter points. Despite better field goal shooting from the Bobcats, the Cavs went on to hammer out a 27 point victory.
Byron Mullens had 15 points and Ramon Sessions recorded 14 off the bench for the Bobcats, who dropped their fourth straight game and fell to 11-37.

Drug Addiction
Psychiatric Patients Have Higher Rates Of Alcoholism, Smoking And Drug Use
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse, Drug Addiction, Marijuana Use and Abuse, Tobacco Abuse on December 31st, 2013
A recent study has linked psychological disorders to a higher risk of engaging in vices.
Researchers from the University of Southern California and St. Louis' Washington University School of Medicine jointly looked into the susceptibility of people diagnosed with psychotic disorders to a number of addictive activities such as drinking, smoking, and use of drugs.
Study co-author Dr. Sarah M. Hartz of Washington University said that contrary to popular belief, people suffering from severe mental disorders do not die because of suicide or drug overdose. "They die from heart disease and cancer, problems caused by chronic alcohol and tobacco use," said Dr. Hartz in a news interview.
The study, published in the JAMA Psychiatry journal, monitored more than 9,000 patients with psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The cases were then compared with people without diagnosed brain disorders, and performed an assessment as to the degree of use of alcohol, drugs and nicotine.
Results showed the following findings:
- Thirty percent of people with mental disorders were engaging in binge drinking, as compared to only 8 percent for normal-minded patients.
- In terms of smoking, 33 percent of the people without psychotic issues were identified as smokers. In stark contrast, the figure for mental patients shot up to above 75 percent.
- Marijuana use was also higher in psychiatric patients, registering 50% of the study population. Meanwhile, only 12 percent of the people without mental disorders used marijuana.
To top it off, Dr. Hartz added that "these patients tend to pass away much younger, with estimates ranging from 12 to 25 years earlier than individuals in the general population."
Hollywood Stars Who Confessed Using Drugs
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse, Drug Addiction on August 16th, 2013
Celebrities are role models. But they are not perfect. Sure they look flawless and their lives seem magical most of the time, but some of them often embrace certain habits that could lead to their own downfall and sometimes demise. As we all know, drugs and alcohol are a big thing in the world of glitz and glamour. And while some stars would usually deny ever using such substances, others are brave enough to admit that they have gone astray at some point in their lives.
Here are well-known celebrities who revealed their drug use and still managed to redeem themselves before it was too late:
1. Angelina Jolie
The Golden Globe-winning actress confessed that she had tried "about every drug possible" such as cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and heroin. " I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them," she said during 2011 interview with 60 Minutes. "I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things."
2. George Clooney
He's one of the most sought-after actors in his generation, but even that wasn't enough to keep him out of trouble. In one of his old interviews, he said: "I've slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties. I loved acid when I was at college. It was an escape. I liked mushrooms. They were like easy acid. I did like blow…Blow would dress you up for a party, but never take you there. You're always like. This is going to be great! Then you're just depressed."
3. Drew Barrymore
She was America's favorite child star. But unlike other kids, her past time included smoking cigarettes and marijuana, drinking alcohol, and snorting cocaine. She confessed having her first taste of rehab at 14. In 1989, she told People magazine about her first experience with pot at the age of 10. She said: "… my addict mind told me, 'Well, if smoking pot is cute, it'll also be cute to get the heavier stuff like cocaine.' It was gradual. What I did kept getting worse and worse, and I didn't care what anybody else thought."
4. Nicholas Cage
In 2010, the National Treasure star admitted in the David Letterman Show that he once used hallucinogenic magic mushrooms with his cat. "I had a bag of mushrooms in my refrigerator. My cat used to sneak into the refrigerator and eat them. … He ate them voraciously; it was like catnip to him. So I thought, 'What the heck, I better do it with him,'" he said.
5. Johnny Depp
He's portrayed way too many quirky roles since he started his showbiz career. But he was no different than other boys who tried vandalism, breaking and entering schools, even experimenting with drugs. "I don't trust anyone who hasn't been self-destructive in some way. Who hasn't gone through some sort of bout of self-loathing. You've got to bang yourself around a bit to know yourself," he told GQ in 2011.
What You Must Know About the New Breed of Heroin Users
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Drug Addiction on July 29th, 2013
The death of Glee star Cory Monteith a few weeks ago in Canada brought a huge shock to many Hollywood spectators. He was young, fresh-faced, and looked perfectly healthy. For his throngs of supporters, he was a typical young man enjoying the good life. But for those familiar with the changing trends in drug abuse, he personifies the new breed of heroin users.
Dr. Richard Clark, an emergency room physician and director of toxicology at the University of California San Diego Medical Center, told NBC News that gone are the days when you can easily spot stereotype heroin users on the street. Today nearly anyone you least expect are using heroin because the drug is cheap and available in abundance. Kids, teenagers, even white-collar workers — often living in suburban or rural areas — could be using it without you suspecting.
Caleb Banta-Green, a research scientist at the University of Washington School of Public Health who frequently writes about heroin use said Monteith "is what a heroin user looks like."
31-year old Monteith had been very open about his struggles with substance abuse, saying he started at a very young age. Despite publicly admitting his addition problems many were still incredulous when he was found dead on July 13 at Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver. Initial reports indicated that he was last seen partying at a club with some friends before the incident occurred. A few days later following his demise, the British Columbia Coroners Service released its report which said that the clean-cut actor died of a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.
"If you're out partying at a bar, you're most likely not doing heroin in the middle of patrons drinking socially," Dr. Clark explained. "But you may be real mellow from the alcohol, go back to your hotel room and say, 'Boy, it would be good to get high with heroin.'"
Dr. Clark said alcohol and heroin have different effects on the central nervous system. And when they act together, most of the danger could come from heroin. He also noted that nearly all deaths associated with heroin were because the users simply stopped breathing.
What Killed 'Glee' Star Cory Monteith?
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Drug Addiction on July 17th, 2013
If you have been following the musical comedy-drama TV series Glee you can say that Finn Hudson was one of the most lovable character in the show. He was popular and talented, naive but not stupid. And like many other kids, he was looking for something to be interested in. Unfortunately, that character will no longer be seen in the future episodes of the Golden Globe Award-winning show.
On July 13, Cory Monteith (a.k.a Finn Hudson) was found dead at Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver, Canada. He was only 31.
According to the British Columbia Coroners Service report released Tuesday, Monteith died of a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.
"It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," the report said. "Mr. Monteith's family has been made aware of the circumstances surrounding the death. On behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time."
The Glee actor has previously admitted his struggle with substance abuse. He told Parade magazine in a 2009 interview that he started skipping school, drinking, and smoking marijuana at 13, and got his first taste of rehab at 19 as a result of his friends' and family's prodding.
In April, Monteith once again sought treatment for his substance abuse problem by checking into an undisclosed rehab facility. None was heard about him until his tragic death on Saturday.
Monteith wasn't the first young and famous celeb whose life was cut short because of drugs and alcohol abuse. River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, and Brad Renfro were all enjoying stardom when they died due to drug overdoses. In the music industry, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain were only two of the many artists who died young because of substance abuse.
Brad Pitt Admits Drug Abuse During Marriage with Jennifer Aniston
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Drug Addiction on May 24th, 2013
Golden Globe-winning actor Brad Pitt confessed in a recent interview with Esquire magazine that his marriage with Jennifer Aniston was also the time he found solace in drugs, the Fox News reports.
"For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f***ing off," Pitt told the magazine. "But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change… This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany."
Pitt believes his foray into drugs has something to do with his marriage and referenced his 90's pastime of "sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out." He admits, though, that his life turned differently when he married Angelina Jolie, whom he met and co-starred in the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
He credits his union with Jolie and his relationship with their kids as the reason for his new found happiness and sobriety.
"I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house … there's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling or screaming or crying or banging," Pitt said. " I love it. I love it. I love it."
CDC Finds Addiction to Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco as the Most Common Issues Among Teens
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse, Drug Addiction, Tobacco Abuse on May 22nd, 2013
Teenagers struggle with so many issues, but the most common of which is addiction to banned substances.
The May 2013 issue of CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) showed that drugs, alcohol and tobacco abuse and dependence affect 1.7 million U.S. adolescents aged 12-17 years, two-thirds of this population had reported illicit drug use disorder in 2011.
Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), CDC found that alcohol use and abuse were highest among teens living in the West. During 2010 and 2011, more than 28 percent of adolescents aged 12-17 reported using alcohol during the past year.
Meanwhile, nearly 700,000 12 to 17-year-olds are addicted to tobaaco. Ruth Perou, PhD, CDC's Child Development Studies Team Leader, told NBC News that this addiction doesn't pertain to casual user or experimentation, but serious addiction.
"You are looking at something that is debilitating and really impairs their ability to function day to day," Perou explains.
Aside from alcohol and tobacco products, the most commonly abused substances were marijuana, cocaine, heroin, inhalants, and prescription drugs.
Perou said CDC is working to help come up with more approaches that work in treatment all substance abuse and mental health disorders that are killing the potentials of today's youth. She invites parents and teachers to check CDC's available information which can help in spotting risky behaviors in kids and teens.

I just read this to my husband and he got a very panicked look in his eye and said "NO! We are NOT buying the neighbour's house!" hahahahahahReplyDelete
I think I'd just make sure the next house I buy has enough rooms to make into a home library, not buy another house. I'm with Michelle up there when it comes to paying ONE mortgage!
OMG! That is like the best fantasy come true! and the house is BEAUTIFUL! A beautiful houe...filled with books...ahhh..how lovely. :DReplyDelete
Well I really don't know what to say about that. It's beautiful and I'm quite jealous, however, all those books.....do they ever get read? Books want to be read. Beautiful house though.ReplyDelete
My next mortgage will be a condo in the 50th state fo my semi-retirement.
That is so cool, and what a great idea! But a double mortgage? I don't think I love my books quite that much.ReplyDelete
WHOA! Jealous!ReplyDelete
That is so awesome, but I think it is too much as well, lol! It's my biggest wish to have my own home library, but I would feel guilty of keeping a whole house of books, when I can clearly afford to buy a book when I need it - better donate to those who can't afford. ;-) Sigh, that doesn't stop me from dreaming though. :PReplyDelete
*sigh* I am so envious!! Wish I had the money to indulge my addiction that way!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! That is awesome, I want it!ReplyDelete
My books are taking over my house, so that would be perfect! My husband never complains about my books though. I try to keep them neat.
I'll have to show him this link and see what he thinks, heehee maybe even an addition.
Oh my gosh...so not over-the-top! One day, the library will be my main criteria when purchasing my first real house. We had a library growing up, but it was rather small. I want nothing more than to walk room by room and explore the rows and rows of books :)ReplyDelete
In my selfish heart I love the idea, but I think it's ultimately too much. Space just for books when there's crazy poverty around the world...I'd have a hard time justifying it. *sigh*ReplyDelete
If I could afford it I would do something like that too.ReplyDelete
Wow! What a crazy story (I bookmarked it for my husband so he can read it later. :) )ReplyDelete
I feel like this could be me in the future. Matt has always promised me that when we get a house, I can have a room for a library.
Hey if a person can afford it, why not go with what they are passionate about! I would love a huge library, I'm tripping over books here!ReplyDelete
I'd love for you to stop by my blog I'm having a great giveaway
Would that I were that wealthy .... it would give me room for my books AND get rid of my nasty neighbor, too!ReplyDelete
I so wish I had the cash to do that...That is so cool.ReplyDelete
And lol, Jo's comment is hilarious (and so true)!
Smart, but I think it would be even better if they let people use it as the community library! Even just reading there and leaving the books would be wonderful. But of course, that's just the wannabe librarian in me.ReplyDelete
ahhh, my dream home...and i guessed correctly - it was an attorney who did it!ReplyDelete
I love it and I want it!ReplyDelete
I love that!!!! That's so awesome!ReplyDelete
I wish I could do that! Seriously, though, I'd never leave my house. That would be bad.ReplyDelete
If I had the money I'd totally do that! I have enough books right now to create a small library and I keep adding to it.ReplyDelete
Wow. Definitely over the top, but in a way that makes me envious.ReplyDelete
OMG! *faints* I think I'm in love!ReplyDelete
Too much? Only on my budget! If I could, I would in a heart beat! ^_^
Maybe they would adopt a young canadian bookworn?ReplyDelete
Or maybe I could move next door. It's lovely, really!
I'm honestly not sure if that's smart or not. It sounds absolutely wonderful but at the same time, they'd have a hard time reselling it.ReplyDelete
If you can afford it, why not. It's certainly beautiful, and I'm drooling over it. Sadly, I have a bookcase and some crates for my library hahaReplyDelete
I love the idea of it, but the philanthropic portion of me hopes that they open it up to other people to enjoy. You know? I couldn't imagine having all those books and not sharing them with everyone. Not that they'd leave the house, but just maybe allow a few people to visit everyday, I don't know. Maybe I'm over-thinking this. It's still VERY cool!ReplyDelete
sounds heavenly :)ReplyDelete
thats cool - i would love to have my own library, and the rolling ladder is so cool, but dusting the books must be a nightmare!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the idea! So tastefully done.ReplyDelete
WOW! I know a lot of people might think it's overkill, but I love it!ReplyDelete
Mrs. DeRaps, Grace, Cherry, Jenny, Lea, Stacy, Kim, Kelli, Julie, GMR, Lizzy, Kaye, Kim, and Christina: I do too :) I would love to own a library and a museum of vintage electronics ;)ReplyDelete
Hannah: I've always dreamed of owning a rolling ladder for some reason ;)
1stdaughter: *smile* I feel ya. I see it sort of like preserving history :)
Ladytink: Good point! They have definitely shortened their resale market. ;)
Kay: LOL Right? I would love to be their friend.
I've always said, "I don't need to be Oprah - I just need to be Gail."
i.e. I don't need to be rich - I just need to be friends with the rich.
Emidy: O that would be a problem for me too! :)
Emma: You gals and 1stdaughter are totally on the same brain wave ;)
Jo: LOL! Neighbors can be the pits ;)
Meg: Amen!
Allie: ooo good man!
Celia & Aths: I feel ya :)
Melissa: I adore home librarys too! *high five* We're on the same page!
itsJUSTme: Oooo good luck! *fingers crossed* He sounds like an amazing fellow. ;)
Janet & Cat & Michelle: True! Unless they were able to buy it straight out. :)
Cat: LOL I was imaginging your husband's face ;)
Jenny: "Books want to be read"! I love that! A condo in Hawaii? Sounds lovely! Smart of you to think ahead! :)
That seriously sounds heavenly! At this point, I don't have enough books to fill an entire house, but maybe someday...ReplyDelete
Wow! It is too big but I'm not going to lie, I want it!ReplyDelete

Assassin's Creed 3 review
Crafting returns, expanded from Revelations' bomb-making into something far larger and far harder to rationalise in the context of a game about a man who stabs people. Combining materials gathered through hunting and purchased from settlers in your homestead allows you to make a wide array of items for further crafting or trade - from barrels to booze, venison jerky and Franklin stoves. You can top up your supply of arrows and other consumables in this way, but it's far quicker and not very much more expensive to just buy them. The system feels irrelevant and the cumbersome interface prevents it from simply being a breezy distraction. It's one example of the many ways that Assassin's Creed III manages to draw the player away from what is fun or meaningful. It's like thrusting a pile of dried fruit and a bottle of Captain Morgan into the hands of a pilot and telling him that he's allowed to make rum and raisin ice cream now. That's nice, Assassin's Creed III. Do you mind? I'm flying a plane.
Puppeteer-style controls are gone, replaced with traditional keybindings: interact, attack, secondary weapon and so on. The verisimilitude suggested by the old arms, legs and head system has been lost, but the new way is clearer and for the most part it's a worthy change. The animation team deserve credit for the way that Connor moves through the environment - the seamless transitions from ground to tree-branch, from street to interior, from attack to canned takedown animation. Assassin's Creed III manages to incorporate detail that other games would force into quick-time events into the flow of regular play, and as a result it's substantially less compromised than you'd expect by its cinematic ambitions. If 'less compromised than you'd expect' sounds like guarded praise, then that's because it is.
Counter-riposte combos are still the dominating force in combat, but what exactly constitutes a riposte has been diversified: firing lines mean grabbing an enemy to use as a shield, and heavy foes are better responded to with quick, aggressive jabs at their defences than waiting for them to attack. No more Ezio-style multi-man murder sprees spring from a single tap of the attack button. Hoisting the leader of a roaming patrol into the trees with a rope dart before slamming to the ground and taking out his friends with a few precisions strikes builds on the best of what the series is good at, which is self-contained, satisfying bursts of action. Moments like this are one of the key things that protect Assassin's Creed III from outright mediocrity, but the problem is that they have to be staged by the player in the open world: the game's main missions, which should be an opportunity to encourage creativity, more often actively punish it.
The game looks substantially better on PC but otherwise this is an underwhelming port. Keyboard and mouse controls can't be rebound and feel like an afterthought, so play it with a gamepad. The game ran at 30-50 fps on full settings on an Intel i5 760 system with 8Gb of RAM and a Radeon HD 6970. A few dips to 20 fps while in busy cities necessitated dialing back shadow quality a little. The game uses Ubisoft's Uplay system, but a permanent internet connection isn't required and all you lose for switching to offline mode is a few entirely missable unlockables.
The root of my issue with Assassin's Creed III is this: that for as much stuff as it provides, the amount that it actually allows you to do feels thinner than ever. A vast amount of its content can be reduced to 'get from A to B and push a button', and stealth rarely strays from minigame territory: 'try to stay in the circle', 'try to stay in the circle when it's moving'. It's about pattern recognition rather than creative thought, binary reactions with no room for life or dynamism. Ubisoft clearly hope that top-grade presentation will be enough to convince you that holding forward to make Connor walk between cutscenes is somehow satisfying - but it isn't. Players deserve the freedom to make up their own minds. Isn't that what Assassin's Creed purports to be about?
Assassin's Creed III's basic mechanics fare much better in multiplayer, where human opponents - or allies, in the co-op Wolfpack assassination challenges - provide the depth and dynamism that the single-player game lacks. The other area where the game excels comes entirely from left field: naval combat.
Connor moonlights as a privateer captain in a series of optional sea missions that thread in and out of the main plot. During these you take the helm of an Assassin frigate, barking orders at your men and steering your warship into broadsides and boarding actions. It's absolutely spectacular - weather and ocean effects create a phenomenal sense of place, and control is just arcadey enough to be exciting while retaining the heft associated with 18th century naval warfare. What's more, the mechanics are actually interesting, rewarding tactical thought in a way that sits flush with Assassin's Creed's broader historical mission statement. Why is Assassin's Creed suddenly the best Master and Commander game ever made? I have no idea, but I'm glad that it is.
It is not that the rest of the game feels rushed. The production values on display hit the heights of what this industry is capable of. It's quixotic, but often admirable for it. Assassin's Creed III is not a half-assed game: but it is approximately half ass. Frequently during my twenty hours with it I'd find myself wishing that other body parts had played a bigger role. Brains, perhaps, for rethinking the necessity of crafting or trading or courier missions or Desmond. Hands for testing and determining that, no, it is not fun to be whacked with a great big red X for failing to abide by pedantic and inartfully implemented rules. Assassin's Creed III rises above mediocrity by virtue of its ambition, its writing, and the set-piece moments where its best ideas form ranks and push. It's the sequel that proves that a revolutionary rethink is needed, but not the sequel that pulls it off.
Entertaining storytelling and fantastic naval combat marred by terrible mission design and endemic feature creep.

Deadline Nears for Virginia Guard, Reserve Members to Nominate Employers for Award
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 12/08/10
Virginia Guard and Reserve members have five weeks to nominate their supportive employers for the 2011 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award before nomination season closes on Jan. 17, 2011. Guard and Reserve family members can also nominate their service member's employer during this nomination season. The award is the U.S. government's highest honor given to employers for their outstanding support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. Nearly one-half of the U.S. military is composed of the Guard and Reserve.
At the halfway mark, nearly 2,500 nominations have been received from Guard and Reserve members and their families from across the nation and around the world. Currently, the Army National Guard is leading among Guard and Reserve service branches, with 37 percent of the total nominations.
Guard and Reserve members and their families are eligible and encouraged to nominate employers that have provided exceptional support to Guard and Reserve employees beyond the federal law requirements. Nominations may be submitted at http://www.FreedomAward.mil through Jan. 17. The names of all nominated employers will be announced in the spring and the 15 Freedom Award recipients will be announced in early summer.
The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense Agency, to recognize exceptional support of Guard and Reserve members from the employer community. In the past 15 years, 145 employers from across the nation have received this prestigious award. Established in 1972, ESGR's mission is to develop and promote employer support for Guard and Reserve service by advocating relevant initiatives, recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of applicable laws, and resolving conflict between employers and service members.

Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

Artificial Grass Maintenance
Keep it clean
Dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants
Artificial Grass Maintenance relies on rainfall as it is the best artificial grass cleanser. In areas where rainfall is scarce, an occasional water flush is beneficial to cleanse the turf. For care and maintenance of lightly soiled areas, it may be necessary to sponge with a five percent solution of low suds household detergent in hot water followed by a thorough rinsing with hot water.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat procedure for lightly soiled areas follow with sponge mopping by using a three percent solution of household ammonia in hot water followed by a thorough rinsing with hot water.
Artificial Grass Maintenance with Animal waste
Green-R Turf artificial grass is pet friendly, there is mandatory artificial grass maintenance to keep odors to a minimum. Allow waste to dry and then dispose. If rainfall is not frequent, hose down the pet area regularly to promote the drainage of urine. Consider use of pet-friendly products such as Simple Green or Nature's Miracle. Depending on the number of dogs and usage from the dogs, enzyme neutralizers may assist you to control odors. Neutralize with mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal amount of water. Flush thoroughly with water after application.
Artificial Grass Maintenance and Brushing
Brushing is directly related to the amount of foot traffic you have in your artificial grass area. Matting of fibers may occur in areas of high foot traffic, especially if fibers have become soiled with dirt and other airborne pollutants.
Cross Brushing of the turf can help restore the appearance of the artificial grass. "Cross brushing" means brushing against the grain of the turf fibers. By doing this periodically the fibers are fluffed up. Use a synthetic bristle brush, never use a brush with metal or wire bristles as this will damage the turf fibers.
Please remember that heavier traffic areas may appear different than other areas that do not see heavy traffic. Brushing is highly recommended and a great aspect of artificial grass maintenance. Cross brushing will ensure the full life of Green-R Turf Artificial Grass
Stains and other blemishes
Artificial Grass Maintenance NUMBER ONE RULE is Promptness. It is always easier to clean up a fresh spill than one that has dried and hardened. Remove any paste like solid with a spatula. Blot up excess liquids with a clean cloth or a dry absorbent, such as kitty litter or fuller's earth. Dry absorbents can then be swept or vacuumed up afterwards.
Artificial grass fibers have good resistance to staining. Yet it is essential to understand they are only one component of the artificial grass system Cleaning agents are safe for the face fibers but can be harmful to other components of the turf system. Therefore, cleaning agents are grouped into two sets.
The first group of cleaners which can be applied without any special precautions are the following:
"Simple Green", a bio-friendly cleaner, follow the manufactures' guidelines.
A three percent solution of ammonia in water may be used in lieu of household detergent for more stubborn stains.
Do not use cleaners that contain chlorine bleaches. Rinse area thoroughly with clean cold water to remove any traces of soap or ammonia. and blot up excessive liquid.
Use a warm, mild solution of household detergent or low suds detergent for fine fabrics. Use approximately one teaspoon to one pint of water.This will handle most waterborne stains including:
- Urine
- Blood
- Ketchup
- Dye
- Paint and Water Colors
- Fruit and Vegetable Juicel
- Milk
- Mustard
- Glue
- Dye
Use mineral spirits or a grease spot remover sold by most stores. Cleansers in this category should handle most oil-based stains including the following:
- Asphalt, Tar, Motor Oil and Grease
- Cooking oil and Suntan Oil
- Paraffin wax
- Ballpoint Ink and Crayon
- Nail polish and Lipstick
Chewing gum or Tree Sap
Chewing gum and tree sap can be removed by freezing. Aerosol packs of refrigerant are available from most carpet cleaning suppliers for this purpose, or dry ice can be used. After freezing, scrape with a knife.
Fungus or mold spots
A one (1) percent solution of hydrogen peroxide in water can be sponged on to the affected area. Flush thoroughly with clean water after application.
Artificial Grass Maintenance – Do Not Abuse Policy
Green-R Turf artificial grass is made of tough, durable fibers, certain precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the artificial turf. Our Artificial Grass Maintenance relies on these rules below:
All Furniture and equipment with sharp edges should not be placed on artificial grass. This may puncture or tear the artificial grass.
Keep cigarettes. Fireworks and open flames away from the artificial grass. They cannot ignite the artificial grass yet they can damage the artificial turf by fusing fibers together.
Cap off or remove nearby sprinkler heads. Water from sprinkler systems can leave mineral deposits on turf.
Make sure turf is not exposed to reflected sunlight windows as this may fuse the turf fibers together.
Never leave a parked vehicle idling on the turf.

Anakin's Theme (John Williams) for solo violin
Ian Peaston
Violin Variations
69 plays
Here's another track from today's rehearsal. It's my own solo violin arrangement of Anakin's Theme from Star Wars by John Williams,with polyphonic violin techniques like those used by Bach and Bartok et al. to get all the notes from Williams' rich orchestral score onto one instrument. I'm doing this on electric violin with some longish reverb effects to enhance the polyphony, but it could be played just as easily on an acoustic violin.
No loop pedals were harmed in the making of this track.

In response to "Regional Airport Towers to Close" (March 23):
An easy way to save the tower at Concord Regional airport
As the FAA moves to close towers in smaller markets, you'd think they were going to plow under the runway in Concord and plant corn based on the news coverage.
If the multi-millionaire NASCAR teams and drivers who use that strip, along with other wealthy airplane owners, are so put out, perhaps they could take up a collection.
I mean, what's an air traffic controller worth, two tire guys or so?
Jeff A. Gregory
In response to "Do away with executioners; let a computer do the job instead" (March 24 Forum):
Computers don't remove our responsibility for executions
Whoever programs the computer to automate the execution would still be karmically responsible to God for the execution. Also the judges who order the executions are responsible. The police are responsible. The politicians are responsible. Anyone who supports death in any way is partially responsible for every death, especially those where innocents are executed.
All of our hands are dirty, not just the person who presses the button. We still don't understand God at all. Only God can take life because only God can grant it. Stop playing God. You aren't.
George Thompson
In response to "Bloomberg's TV blitz on guns targets swing senators" (March 24):
Hey, Mayor Bloomberg: We don't need your 'vision' here
It was with much concern that I read about the near fanatical Mayor Bloomberg's plan to "target" U.S. senators, to include our own senator, Kay Hagan, in a quest to pressure them into voting his way on pending gun legislation.
We North Carolinians are not dependent on him, his money or his vision to decide what is best regarding the liberties and freedom for our citizens. Mr. Bloomberg, please keep your "I know what's best for you, little people" attitude in your own state.
Edwin Saint Sing
In response to "Abused puppy is now fostered" (March 25):
Don't know what kind of person can treat an animal so horribly
How sad and unfortunate it has to come down to such a heinous act for someone to do this to an innocent victim, then to find out he was beaten? What kind of "animal" could conduct such an act of violence?
Whoever was driving the BMW or Mercedes getaway car – hope you can live with yourself!
Dorie Rickard
In response to "NFL teams score on stadium proposals" (March 24) and other articles:
Some additional perspective about the Panthers' request
The Observer is now the official site for the Panthers PR department. Above the fold on page 1 and 2 additional pages extol their virtues. Let's look at the other side.
1) While the team contributes to the economy, they are not a charity and have made hundreds of millions in the process.
2) You stress that the city didn't contribute significantly to the stadium when it was built. True, but Jerry Richardson's outlay was small as he got the PSL owners to do it.
3) The taxes paid by the Panthers in total don't offset what they want the taxpayer to pony up making it a net drain.
4) If we are willing to pay 144 million to the Panthers, what will we pay BofA, Wells Fargo, Chiquita (again) to name just a few of hundreds of companies for their loyalty?
Bill Wallace
In response to "DWI cop's secret: Lots of traffic stops" (March 18):
Glad to have someone trying to catch wild Charlotte drivers
Your article about Officer Pressley was superb – I wish there were more like him. The speeding on Providence Road, Sharon Road and Wendover is unbelievable. I see cars going well over the posted speed limit on most days, with many drivers weaving in and out of however many lanes there happen to be. Add the almost constant use of cell phones and the situation becomes even more dangerous.
Those of us who are trying to abide by the road rules often receive horn blowing, along with being followed too closely.
I say thank you to Officer Pressley.
Alice Ballenger
Government, politicians only have one thing on their minds
I'm thankful today that as a senior citizen I can remember a time when the government was actually by the people for the people. Politicians today seem to only care about what can make them more affluent at a tremendous cost to everyone else.
The government and other organizations today share the old Jim Bakker PTL mindset, always keep an imaginary crisis of some sort going so they can continually beg for more.
The saddest part is we all know what happened at PTL. The same could happen to our country if we don't wake up.

Archive information from our 400th Anniversary year in 2013 - this takes you to the foot of this page!
Dame Alice Owen's School has a long and distinguished history dating back to the foundation in 1613 and we have maintained many unique traditions from that time, such as the giving of a small amount of 'beer money' to every pupil (see below) and the school's long standing close association with the brewing industry and the Worshipful Company of Brewers.
Our story: few schools owe their origin to a cow, a village maiden and an archer's arrow. The cow was being milked in a field outside the village of Islington in the mid 16th century; the maid, Alice Wilkes - accompanied by a young servant - stopped to watch and try her hand in milking; the arrow from nearby butts, sailed across the field and pierced the crown of her hat, miraculously without injuring her. Much impressed by her providential escape, she vowed that when rich enough she would do something for posterity to mark her gratitude.
After the foundation of the boys' school, a girls' school was built over two and a half centuries later in 1886, also in Islington, which eventually merged with the boys' school in 1973. This was then run as a mixed school until July 1976 when the transfer of pupils to our new location in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire was completed.
To this day, several roads on and around the site of the original school in Islington maintain names such as Owen Street, Owen's Row and Owen Fields.
Our new school in Potters Bar opened as a mixed comprehensive in September 1973 and we celebrated our 400th Anniversary in 2013 (for more details of this historic occasion, see links at the end of this page).
Dame Alice Owen's School, Potters Bar - "The Owen's Way" (see below - created in 2011) and "In God is All our Trust" (from Owen's Boys' School)
Owen's Boys' School, Islington
- "In God is All Our Trust" (as that of the Brewers' Company - see crest from 1544, right)
Dame Alice Owen's Girls' School, Islington - "Instead of being made - make yourself" (created in 1896 by Mr Herbert Spencer, famous philosopher, as requested by the girls' school's first Headmistress, Miss Emily Armstrong)
Certain traditions and customs have been retained, the two most notable being -
Dame Alice herself instructed the Governors to visit the school annually to inspect the scholars' progress. Today, this visit forms part of our school's Annual Open Day and prize giving ceremony.
The original scholars collected flowers from the surrounding fields to make buttonholes for themselves and to decorate the school; the custom today is for white carnations to be worn by all pupils in Years 7 to 11, red carnations by the Sixth Form and any Old Owenians present. Governors are presented with white carnations, unless they are Old Owenians!
Our School Song (adapted from The Boys' School Football Song) is also sung as part of the ceremony - you can actually hear the song being sung by students and staff on the 400th Anniversary News page - see link below). Words of both the original boys' and girls' school songs, as recorded in A History of Owen's School (1613-1976), R.A. Dare B.A., are shown below. When our school moved to Potters Bar in September 1973, Mr Bill Hamilton-Hinds, past pupil (1955-1963), maths master (from 1966) and now Administration Manager, changed three words of the old Boys Football based School Song to those highlighted in red below to reflect the unisex nature of the new school. The Girls' School Song is no longer used, however, the music still exists in the school archives. We also have a record of a second earlier Girls' School song, from a Visitation Programme dated 1936 (image shown below).
A new publication on the history of our School was published in 2012 as part of the 400th celebrations - once again, see reference to how you can purchase a copy below.
The Boys' School Song
(Words by G.J. Baldock, Music by Richard Triggs)
1. On many a well remembered field
Have Owen's fought and won!
At times we lose but never yield
Before the game is done.
And as the years roll on and on,
And players bid goodbye,
Their comrades still in spirit don
The mantles they've cast by.
Chorus - Then strive with a will, Owenians,
Success attend your play;
Never let your ardour cool
For the honour of the School,
On, Owen's - to the fray.
2. Though they are gone, their names live yet,
To stimulate our play;
Their memory doth strength beget,
And drives despair away.
With pride we look back on the days
When those old heroes fought -
How eager was our youthful gaze!
How much to us was taught.
Chorus - Then strive...
3. And now we fight ourselves for Fame,
On us the School relies
Her ancient glory to maintain -
An honour that we prize.
Right manfully (Replaced with "Wholeheartedly" - from 1973)
we play the game,
The whole team works as one;
To win the match is our sole aim,
All selfish play we shun.
Chorus - Then strive...
4. In future years we shall reflect
With pleasure on these games;
Then shall we feel the good effect
This grand old pastime claims.
'Tis thus we learn how to succeed
In life's far sterner strife;
'Tis thus we learn to live indeed
A manly (Replaced with "truly" - from 1973), useful
Chorus - Then strive...
The Girls' School Song
"Honour Dame Alice Owen"
(Words by Eleanor E.Willis, Music by K.W.Flemming-Williams)
1. Lift your hearts and lift your voices,
Sing Dame Alice Owen's praise,
In her name our School rejoices,
May her wisdom guide our ways.
Chorus - Our noble Foundress sowed the seed,
Bear fruit well: in thought and deed
Honour Dame Alice Owen.
2. Day by day we grow in stature,
Mind and body like a tree;
Every task we face with courage
Makes us strong, and straight, and free.
Chorus - Our noble Foundress...
3. Owen's girls, like pilgrims marching,
Tread where Owen's girls have trod,
Seeking truth in fuller service,
Putting all their trust in God.
Chorus - Our noble Foundress...
4. What the years may bring we know not,
Fame or Fortune, joy or pain;
Faithful to our School tradition,
We shall never strive in vain.
Chorus - Our noble Foundress...
5. Onward then, to new endeavour,
Strong in hope and free from fear,
One in loyalty and purpose,
One in will to persevere.
Honour our noble Foundress' name.
Bear the torch, keep bright the flame.
Honour Dame Alice Owen.
It was long-established for the Governors to present the boy who welcomed them at Visitation with a small sum of money. From this probably derives the custom of presenting pupils with "beer money". Around 1881 the "money grant" was separated out from the Visitation ceremony and presented by the Clerk of Governors to pupils in the Entrance Hall the morning after, with Dame Alice, from her Frampton pedestal, gazing down at pupils, who received their "beer money" in complete silence.
Nowadays, during their first year at the school, all students attend a formal Beer Money ceremony at The Brewers Hall in London where they receive a £5 commemorative coin from The Master of the Worshipful Company of Brewers.
Students from Years 8-13 complete the ceremony at our school in Potters Bar, but still receive the money from The Master. By tradition, the ceremony is held on the very last day of the Summer Term and although students are now allowed to acknowledge the gift, it is still mostly conducted in silence to emphasize the solemnity of the occasion.
The amount given depends on the students age:
Year 8 - £1
Year 9 - £2
Year 10 - £3
Year 11 - £4
Year 12 - £5
Year 13 - £6
The Head Boy and Head Girl receive £10 in
recognition of their additional commitments beyond their own study.
To launch our special year, a 10 metre historical exhibition with spot lights was unveiled on 22nd January, 2013, which you can view here as an electronic version. Staff from our Art Department created the display - Mr Petros Anastasi and Miss Lorna Veerayen, with help from Mr Richard Morley and Mrs Barbara Miller, as well as Old Owenian, Mr Ken Rowswell, who worked with the exhibition company and Old Owenian, Mr Derek Webb, who donated the funding required to produce the display. Details of our 400th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall and Thanksgiving Service at St Paul's Cathedral can be found at the bottom of this page. Further highlights from our history are given also below.
"Dame Alice Owen's School - A History 1613-2013"
A new historical publication (limited edition) was made available in November 2012, written by Gareth Randall, Assistant Head at Owen's until 2006, who then retired to become a priest in an Anglican Church in France.
This beautiful hardback edition of 250 pages contains numerous wonderful illustrations from our 400 year-long history and profiles written about our famous alumni by parent, Rosie Millard, freelance journalist and former Arts correspondent for the BBC.

Preventing diabetes and picking up diabetes. So, a lot of different topics," said Dr. Cheryl Cook.In addition to tips on healthy living, the group also shared some healthy recipes.

NEW YORK — After New York City police officers allegedly handcuffed a 10-year-old girl for being noisy and disruptive on a school bus, a prominent civil rights lawyer is bringing a lawsuit challenging the use of handcuffs on minors.
The advocate, Norman Siegel, said he wants the lawsuit to be a catalyst for the police department to discuss drafting written guidelines on how police should treat children who are not engaged in criminal activity.

Okay I love Party Down and everything, but isn't "Are We Having Fun Yet?" an actual phrase?

I spent 6 hours one night trying to finish heroic SL. It was an all guild run, with me (the pally tank) being the only non-guild member. Most of the people had 3 or 4 pieces of gear from Kara and I was decked out in the best pre-Kara blue items available with the best enchants available. After about 3 hours, people left the group and it devolved into a PUG.
We had three rough spots....
1) The mobs right before the first boss that cast fear. For some reason, one of our players (a rogue, I think) kept getting feared through the wall in the hallway.
2) The group pulls right before the second boss. as I understand it, there are a few mobs there that have no aggro table and just make a bee-line for a random person. Whatever the problem, line of sight pulling didn't really seem to work.
3) Murmur..... sigh. Seriously Blizzard, WTF? We tried to take him down 8 times and eventually gave up. I had to repair about 5 times that night. Initially, I tried to get out of the circle when he cast sonic boom, I usually got hit anyway, and since I didn't have a way to get back to him fast enough, it always resulted in a wipe. I actually found that it worked better just healing through the sonic boom. As long as the healer timed it right, we seemed to do much better with me not moving. Regardless, we never got him down.
Unfortunate as it say sound but latency plays a role in avoiding Murmur's sonic boom. If your latency is not low enough and you failed to move right after the cast of sonic boom, you'll get hit even if you are physically outside the circle of death.
I prefer running back out and running back in method but I have done it the other way as well. If priests time their prayer of healing to hit just after sonic boom, the healing becomes a cake for that fight.

SPOKANE-- The City of Coeur d'Alene is considering revising an ordinance that would give disabled people better access to the beach.
City leaders are exploring the idea of putting ramps right into the lake on public beaches.
To allow the ramps, the city must change the shoreline ordinance.
Currently no construction is allowed in areas within 40 feet of most of the water. The changes would allow only items like ramps within that space.
City officials will meet in October to discuss the changes.
