I was at Eastern Market last week to check out Chez Chloe's molten lava cakes, but she had sold out right before I got there. I want to go back earlier this time - there is nothing wrong with cake for breakfast, right? Just take a gander at these pictures:
She is in shed 5, where the food trucks also reside or we can take a group consensus among the people there and eat anywhere within walking distance of the market. Shed 5 is not that big, so plan on meeting me there. I will be wearing a black wool peacoat. If people want to carpool, we can meet at 11:30am at my place in Ferndale (if you want me to drive or can take me with you). Otherwise, you can organize yourselves in the comments thread. Let us meet in Shed 5 at noon to guarantee our choice of cake flavors.
Oh, how I wish I could!!! I just completed a week of eating my way through a cruise ship. And these little lava cakes are one of their best desserts!!

[center][size=5]Tupac Shakur: Before I Wake...
[/size][left]If you want to see a really good conspiracy movie you don't have to go to the theaters, just rent this dvd. The mystery surrounding rapper Tupac's murder has been the talk in the entertainment industry for years. In the doc it gives you a first-person perspective of the last days of Tupac by his main personal body guard. Who was a witness to the rapper being gun down in his car. The bodyguard tells his point of view on everything that he witnessed and to events that lead after Tupacs death.
Investigators and reporters also chim in on their views of what happen including rumors of who was/wasn't involved in the shooting. This doc really caught my interest and even though I don't really listen to rap music in general or know anything musically about Tupac I was glued to my screen from start to finish.

Capture the dynamic structure change in situ and understand the structure-property relationship. Expand your application space with our range of heating, biasing, gas and liquid.
Defect formation in Graphene
To understand the defect formation and evolution of graphene at elevated temperatures, the researchers at Oxford University recorded this atomic resolution movie at 700 °C. This required extreme stability for visualizing the evolution of point defects and the vacancy defect can be seen growing from the tip of the adatom cluster, which re-configures into the characteristic zigzag line defect structure. As graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms, any amorphous contamination on top of graphene will decrease the contrast for imaging individual carbon atoms, therefore, heating is needed to remove contamination.

Thermal processing of Metal Alloys
To assist industry in identifying how the annealing process controls the structure of Al alloy, the researchers at Hunan University investigated the precipitation of Al alloy seen in this 8 hour video at 200 °C. The precipitates become visible after 1 hour indicating nucleation is complete and further growth of the precipitates interact with the dislocations. This interaction resulted in the improvement and hardness of the material, highlighting the value of in situ heating TEM enabling researchers to investigate and understand the process-structure-property relationship in one go!

Although it's been quite some time since I was in the age range of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March, a recent viewing of a musical version of the theatrical adaptation at Sehome High School's Little Theater reminded me of what it felt like to be on the cusp of adulthood, but not quite a grownup.
In addition to the throngs of fresh-faced teenagers who were taking tickets, playing classical music on the outdoor steps leading into the theater, filling the seats to watch their fellow students and milling about before the show, the actresses playing the roles of headstrong Jo, genteel Meg, sweet Beth, and troublemaker Amy seemed to be making the most of their youthful energy.
Additionally, the "sisters" managed to bridge the gap of the century-plus that separates the story's origins from the modern day. It seems that as if by pondering what it was like to be female in the United States in the 1860s—when it was assumed that if you were a woman, you'd get married, have babies and manage the household, not go to college and seek a career or travel the world independently—they actually became young ladies of that era.
"There's something magical about this production," director Kandace Arens says of the first musical at Sehome High School in 14 years. She says the students came together to "build something unique" for Little Women; they fashioned the sets and costumes from scratch, searched for the perfect props, worked long hours to make sure they were hitting their marks along with the 16-piece orchestra that joins the show, and found the wherewithal to wear their emotions on their sleeves.
"These young people are finding deep personal meaning in the stories of these four sisters from more than a century ago," she says. "It's extraordinary to witness."
Although there's a twist near the end of the high school's version of Little Women that might not have passed muster were the play being produced in 1868—don't worry, I'm not going to insert a Game of Thrones-style spoiler in this space and, no, it's not Beth's death—the play otherwise brought the era to vivid life through song, believable familial bonds and superb storytelling.
It's a long play, so if you come to the nighttime shows, be prepared to stay up late with the teenagers—who will be grownups before you know it.
"We lose things in gaining the grace of adulthood," Arens says. "At some point, we, like Jo March, dare to dream that, 'I, too, would like to change the world.'"]]>
Whether I'm wrestling rocks in the Wind River Range or hacking my way through slide alder jungles in the North Cascades, the strenuous physicality and craggy job sites of this Shoe Goo- and duct-tape-dependent vocation conspire to inflict considerable carnage upon even my most seemingly indestructible material possessions.
Fortunately, even as vast quantities of my gear inexplicably continue to disintegrate at such embarrassingly expedited rates, there is one essential accessory in my outfit that has managed to survive since the very beginning.
I've had the same cassette tape of Purple Rain in my possession going on 32 years. It hasn't traveled on every excursion with me, but it's accompanied me on quite a few.
Just because I'm a Carhartt hippie who eats dirt and swings axes for a living doesn't mean I'm immune to the cosmopolitan allure of the Minneapolis Sound. Fact is, you'll catch me rocking out to "Darling Nikki" and "Take Me with U" even more frequently than "West L.A. Fade Away" or "Uncle John's Band."
Paradoxical as this phenomena might seem, my enduring fondness for this seminal pop masterwork trumps the Dead Head in me, hands down.
Thanks to the infectious musicality of his Purple Highness, I have "When Doves Cry" coursing through my veins. And I would be remiss not to recall the indisputably perilous origin of this fusion.
Way back in the 1980s—many years before I flew the coop to the Pacific Northwest to begin my career as a public lands steward—I was struck by lightening while camping at an exposed lakeside location in Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota.
In the tent that fateful, stormy night, I happened to be listening to Purple Rain on my Sony Walkman. My device and the tape within it were resting on my chest as the electricity from the groundswell shot through me in a concussive, blinding flash.
Because my tent mate and I survived this incident relatively unscathed (there was prolonged painful tingling in all our extremities and a nauseous odor of sulfur that lingered in our noses for days) we inevitably attributed our good fortune to the protective presence of the most popular album in the country at the time.
Henceforth and ever after, Purple Rain became my trusted trailside talisman.
Although I won't go so far as to include a vintage, roughly used Warner Brothers product on my prescribed 10 Essentials list, I will freely espouse the fact that by retaining its sonic integrity when every other personal item under my care has bitten the dust it has proven itself worthy as a bona fide paragon of outdoor gear.
Cassette tapes might be going extinct, but no other disposable consumer good I know of has helped sustain my burdensome endeavors with so many up-tempo tunes and such little added pack weight.]]>
After shooing the feathered felons out of the burgeoning fruit patch they'd been snacking on, I set to work securing the crop. Approximately 20 minutes later—after affixing a thick layer of wire to the top of the long row of plants—I felt confident that, sans wire cutters, the canny cluckers were out of luck.
I'm happy to report the security measures worked. Two weeks after the incident, we're experiencing an unprecedented harvest of some of the biggest, juiciest strawberries ever seen in our backyard.
We're making good use of them. After a friend dropped off a hunk of homemade poundcake last week, we loaded sliced berries and lemon cheesecake ice cream from Mallard on it to it to scrumptious effect, and have been also been adding them to smoothies, eating them unadorned and realizing we'll likely have enough to be able to freeze for coming months.
Last weekend, after noticing the rhubarb patch was also continuing to produce like crazy, my boyfriend suggested making something that combined the two seasonal specials. He'd recently cooked a batch of rhubarb streusel bread, and theorized that adding strawberries to the recipe "couldn't hurt."
He was right. The results of the Land O'Lakes streusel recipe were sweet and moist, and paired well both with the vanilla ice cream we ladled on it for dessert, and with a cup of coffee the next morning. Barring a heist from the hens, it'll be on the menu for days to come.
Rhubarb Streusel Bread with Strawberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup orange juice
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 stalks (1 1/2 cups) fresh rhubarb, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 cups strawberries, halved
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 8x4-inch loaf pan; set aside. Combine one cup sugar and half a cup butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add orange juice and eggs; beat at low speed just until mixed. (Mixture will look slightly curdled.) Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Gently stir in rhubarb and strawberries. (Batter will be thick.)
Reserve 1 1/2 cups batter. Spread remaining batter into prepared pan.
Combine all streusel ingredients in bowl; stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half of streusel over batter in pan; gently press into batter. Carefully spread reserved batter into pan; top with remaining streusel. Press streusel into batter.

On that same day, Texas native Mark Stroman was looking for confrontation. A self-described "American terrorist," Stroman's hatred for Muslims boiled over in the wake of September 11. He planned to hit back against the people who had wounded the country he loved. Stroman had been on the offensive for days, killing a Pakistani store owner just four days before and eluding capture.
In that minimart, the worlds of Rais Bhuiyan and Mark Stroman collided. Stroman confronted Rais with just one question: "Where are you from?" His accent betrayed Rais, and Stroman shot him in the head at close range.
But the story doesn't end there.
In The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas, journalist Anand Giridharadas examines retribution, justice and forgiveness with a deep dive into the past and present of both victim and perpetrator. Pulling together the stories of immigrant and native son, Giridharadas reveals factors in the life of each man that would ultimately, and unexpectedly, bind them forever.
Rais survived his encounter with Stroman, but a third man, gas station owner Vasudev Patel, was not so lucky. Stroman was tried and convicted of Patel's murder. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection, the Texas version of justice.
Ten years later, just after becoming an American citizen, Rais began to feel a calling. He identified within himself a pull toward Stroman, a need to forgive this man who struck out in hatred. A devout Muslim, Rais saw this as nothing more than what his religion demanded.
Rais contacted Stroman and found that the other man's life had changed as well. The hate had slipped away; the experience of living on Death Row forged Stroman into a new man. Unbelievably, Rais began to channel his energy not just into forgiving Stroman, but into a battle to save his life.
At a time in our history when diversity is a boon to some and a flashpoint to others, the issues explored in The True American feel especially relevant. The story of these men extends in many directions; the book traces the impact of their relationship on all involved. By personalizing the tensions that led up to Stroman's actions, Giridharadas looks unflinchingly at how the American dream plays out in today's society.
While many would deem Rais heroic, even superhuman, he sees it differently, as a calling to bring together his religion and his country. "Hate is going on in this country since 9/11," Rais says. "And where is this hate taking us?... It has to end somewhere."
This nuanced and thoughtful account takes Rais's question one step further, leaving the reader to wonder: in the face of violence and hate, could you forgive?

The ground, ferns, nettles, fallen logs and every leaf on every tree is coated with a patina of white heron droppings. Lance Ekhart, heron photographer extraordinaire, stands motionless in the forest—literally deep in the shit.
Here on Samish Island, Ekhart is documenting one of the greatest concentrations of herons anywhere on Earth; with a total of 373 nests (according to Skagit Land Trust counts) in this heronry, perhaps 1,000 birds.
Although we're only a few hundred meters from the road, we have entered a different world. The herons jostle for position above us with much flapping of immense wings and crashing of branches. The air is filled with pterodactyl-like screeching—these primitive birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. The ambiance is decidedly Jurassic.
Ekhart has been coming to this obscure spot for a long time, working on a multimedia project he is calling "Eye of the Heron." He has captured 20,000 still photos, 120 videos and more than 100 hours of high-quality digital sound recordings. Today he has hauled two digital cameras, eight lenses, three tripods and two digital sound recorders into the woods. He is committed.
"I'm out to capture the glint in the heron's eye," Ekhart explains. "It's all about the eyes."
The heron project began by chance. Ekhart, a longtime nature photographer, was giving a slideshow at the Anacortes Public Library, and his beautifully detailed portraits of birds came to the attention of the Skagit Land Trust's heron stewards. His current access to the herons is made possible by the trust, thanks to the conservation easement they hold on this private land, which is not open to the general public.
Ekhart visits the nesting sites two or three times a week in season. For every hour that he spends in the field, he spends three or four at the computer. The process is all-consuming; editing and integrating the images, video and sound is a herculean task. It has become a central focus of his life. His goal is the creation of "an artistic documentary blending reverence with the craziness of all these birds."
His photographs paint an evocative picture of his subjects, capturing the massive adult birds, wings outstretched, launching themselves into the air, as well as the oddly comical chicks, all beak and wild eyes. In addition to the multimedia project, Lance is hoping to publish a coffee-table book.
This morning we are waiting for the spectacle of the heron's breakfast ritual. The tide is low in nearby Samish Bay, and soon the adults will be returning with the chicks' morning meal—shiner perch, gunnels (an eel-like fish), sculpin and other small morsels foraged from the eelgrass beds. These beds—critical to the marine ecology—have been shrinking, imperiling the bird's food supply. Eelgrass requires shallow water to grow and these coastal areas have been under pressure from marine development.
Ekhart's documentation of the heron rookery represents a notable success story in the realm of citizen science, work done by non-scientist volunteers under the guidance of professional biologists. The work is made possible by his commitment to the project.
"In Eastern cultures, herons represent patience," Ekhart notes with a chuckle as he carefully aims his massive camera lens toward a trio of birds lined up like an ungainly chorus line on an overhanging branch. The light isn't right, so he waits.
"They've certainly taught me a lot about patience," he says, settling in for the long haul.

Timing has never really been my thing.
This year, however, things will be different.
Now firmly ensconced in my centrally—at least as far as Ski to Sea is concerned—located abode, I can take full advantage of my proximity to what has become Bellingham's marquee outdoor event. The race's origins date back more than a century, to the Mt. Baker Marathon, a grueling event that was put on longterm hiatus in 1913 after one of the competitors fell into a crevasse.
These days, the adventure race is comprised of seven legs—cross-country skiing, downhill skiing or snowboarding, running, bicycling, canoeing, mountain biking and kayaking—over a 93-mile course that begins on the slopes of Mt. Baker and runs all the way to Bellingham Bay. Along with being a competitive endeavor—and it is hugely competitive—Ski to Sea also serves as a showcase for the natural beauty and diverse topography that make up our unique corner of the country.
For many of us (especially those of us who are not so athletically inclined), Ski to Sea has become so much more than just a race. From parades to block parties to street fairs, it is also a cultural event, a social outing and a chance to show off our region and its character in uniquely 'Hamster fashion.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm into Ski to Sea for its parties more than its trophies, proof that this annual event offers something for everyone.
Used to be that every bar and music venue in town offered up some kind of Ski to Sea/Memorial weekend lineup of music, but in recent years, the entertainment energy has coalesced into a few large community events. The options may be fewer, but the decision-making is simpler—or you can follow my lead and try to take in a little bit of everything.
Per usual, Boundary Bay Brewery is going all out in honor of Ski to Sea, Memorial Day and whatever reason you've got. Boundary manager and maven of fun, Janet Lightner, tells me the beer garden is open for the season and its regular revolving roster of weekly barbecues, happy hours and other reasons to gather, quaff pints, have a bite and see some music is well underway.
Not a moment too soon for those of us who regard the opening of Boundary's beer garden as the first official sign of summer.
At Boundary Bay, Ski to Sea starts, not on the Sunday of the actual race, but the Friday before, May 27, with the annual Ski to Sea Block Party. The barbecue grills will be hot, the Ski to Sea ESB (brewed especially for the occasion) will be flowing and the music will be courtesy of Jasmine Greene and the Atlantics. Always a community affair, the Block Party is free and family-friendly.
Should you not be sufficiently prepared for Ski to Sea after the Block Party, Boundary will once again be there for you on Sat., May 28 with a Ski to Sea Prefunk party. The setup is the same as the night before—barbecue, beer, band—but this time Hot Damn Scandal will provide the soundtrack. I guess because Boundary already gave it all away up front at the Block Party, the Prefunk is also free. Round up the kids for some "tipsy American gypsy blues" and dance the night away.
If you don't happen to live within walking distance of the Southside and don't desire to brave the Ski to Sea madness on race day, Sun., May 29, well, you're most likely about as dedicated to athletic pursuits as I am. Never you worry, Boundary Bay is here for you. They'll wind down the weekend with, you guessed it, brews and burgers in the beer garden, and the Elopements and Marcel & Nakos will sing you right into Memorial Day.
But Boundary isn't the only brewery throwing a block party this year.
At the other end of town, closer to the finish line of the race, lives one of Bellingham's many new breweries, Stones Throw, on Larrabee Avenue.
If you're scratching your head and trying to figure out where on Larrabee a brewery could be, it might help you to know that Stones Throw is disguised to look just like your average family home.
Do not be fooled by its unassuming exterior. Big things are contained within.
Big things like vats of Stones Throw beer, which they'd love to share with you Sat., May 28 at their own block party. They'll close down the street, building a beer garden (essential for the drinking of their Fairhaven Park Tr-ALE, a beer that benefits the Recreation NW Fairhaven Park Stewardship Program) and building a stage for the likes of Yogoman Burning Band, Misty Flowers, Badd Dog Blues Society, the Devilly Brothers, and Julian MacDonough & Delvon Lamarr. Food trucks will be on hand to soak up that beer and satiate your appetite, but did I mention that Stones Throw will also be roasting a pig?
I once watched someone eat a pig's eye at a pig roast and even though it was kind of gross, I do not regret a thing.
The party is free, a pig plate requires a reservation and the eyeballs might be up for grabs, but I make no promises.
Of course, I would be sorely remiss in not mentioning Ski to Sea's traditional after party, the Fairhaven Festival.
This is one event that is easy to find, since it takes place smack dab in the heart of Fairhaven—all you have to do is head to the Southside and you'll run right into it (take my word for it and avail yourself of public or pedal-powered transportation—trying to drive and park is a fool's errand).
Part street fair, part beer garden, part outdoor concert and all kinds of fun, the Fairhaven Festival will even enable you to watch racers cross the finish line on Sun., May 29 if your timing is better than mine. Music will be an all-day affair—on two stages, no less—courtesy of Blind Fate, Divas and Dudes, SpaceBand, Lost at Last, and more. Thousands of people converge on Fairhaven to catch all the action, so no matter when you show up, you'll be in great and plentiful company.

Originally proposed in a 2006 federal grant request, the $4 million project was intended to connect Boulevard Park with the proposed Cornwall Beach Park, bypassing at-grade rail crossings, and providing a continuous corridor south to link up with the popular Taylor Street boardwalk. The project was reviewed and provisionally approved by the Bellingham Hearings Examiner in 2010. But the project ran out of time to be eligible for the federal grant agreement.
"Given the time taken to review the permit and the work left to be done to negotiate with the tribe and complete cleanup within the MTCA sites, federal funds will not be spent within the time frame of the grant agreement," City of Bellingham Project Engineer Gina Austin reported, referring in part to remediation funds made available through the state's Model Toxics Control Act.
It's a condition we'll likely see more frequently in the future, as state and federal grant programs dry up and other benighted harbors around the state compete aggressively for limited remediation dollars.
The Taylor Street project faced similar hurdles (and similar public criticism and obstruction), but today is used by more than 900,000 pedestrians and bicyclists each year and is easily considered one of the best, most popular public works projects undertaken by the City of Bellingham in many years, an asset to recreation, tourism and access to parks and trails. Perhaps the best thing that can be said for it is that it gets the public thinking and caring about their waterfront assets, wanting more of them; and the loss of OWW complicates connectivity problems between the city's waterfront parks.
Lummi Nation played a role in the delay that ran out the clock on OWW, making a claim that the structure could impair their treaty fishing rights. The tribe was not especially aggressive about the claim—their attention was turned elsewhere—and the reality is that the four-to-ten feet of woodwaste covering the bottom of Bellingham Bay from a century of industrial pulping and dumping operations harms their fishery far more catastrophically than does a boardwalk. The woodwaste creates acidic, anaerobic—even lifeless—conditions at the bottom of the bay that in itself retards the decomposition of the waste and its breakdown in the natural environment. And it's a problem that will endure longer than the projected life of the now-abandoned project.
"The Lummi Nation is committed to investing funds and staff resources toward analyzing Bellingham Bay projects, including this one," Lummi Chairman Tim Ballew II reassured the mayor in 2014. "However, the effect on future generations will take time. While we understand a third party has imposed a deadline for funding a portion of construction costs, it does not lessen our responsibility to perform due diligence and comment on findings."
While they're a potent government, Lummi is also a small one and since 2010 has had their limited resources directed at Cherry Point.
A more truculent (and remote) partner is BNSF Railway and its control of the at-grade crossings at Boulevard Park and Wharf Street. Wharf Street is scheduled to close as part of a rail realignment proposed in the phased waterfront redevelopment plan. That planned closure compounded by the loss of OWW removes nearly every possibility of tying the proposed Cornwall Beach cul-de-sac into other parks and trails.
Perhaps most lamentable about the loss of the public walkway is that state surface transportation funding now shifts to the Granary Avenue street project. Bellingham City Council last week approved an authorization that allows the mayor to develop an interlocal agreement with the Port of Bellingham to begin work on Granary Avenue.
The agreement perhaps signals the reawakening of a proposal to rehabilitate the historic Granary Building, as part of the master development agreement the port inked with Dublin-based Harcourt Development after a year of negotiation, the first project on an 18.8-acre development site.
Port commissioners greenlighted the rehabilitation in 2015, giving the developer four years (plus extensions) to begin work on the weathered and decaying building.
Having produced nothing but delays, having constructed not a matchstick, Harcourt now wants other amendments to that development agreement, seeking to abandon their commitment to build a second new building in the agreed area and focusing interest instead on the Board Mill building much deeper into the site and outside the original pilot development. Grievously, their proposal comes with an alteration to street alignments that would cut into public access of the shoreline. An L-shaped connector between the proposed Granary Avenue and Laurel Street places its lanky concrete elbow directly over the Commercial Street Green, a commons promised to the public since the earliest inception of the plan. The street alignment approved via dozens of quarrelsome public meetings is abandoned wholesale with no public process at all!
City Council foolishly facilitated this in February when they permitted changes to the interlocal agreement with the port, allowing that agency license for substantial changes to the street alignments detailed in the master development agreement that serves as the public's assurance against bait-&-switch shenanigans.
The port, after hijacking the central waterfront plan nearly 20 years ago, has finally neared completion of the first [!] stage of the cleanup of the inner waterway. Alas, after that the MTCA cleanup dollars mostly dry up. In the years of port hostage-taking and foot-dragging that followed the hijack, the Legislature (courtesy of Sen. Doug Ericksen) reprioritized MTCA funding in the state's 2015-17 biennial budget.
Years have dragged on, money and interest has been lost, and public access to a public waterfront evaporates behind the chain link fence and razor wire of a dismal brownfield. OWW, indeed.]]>
The compelling location helps. The film takes place in Pantelleria, an Italian island about 60 miles off the coast of Sicily. It's a mix of beautiful beaches and rock, and hairpin turns on narrow roads, a place where you climb and climb up old stones and suddenly find a packed restaurant with great views. It's a place where British people might go to experience primitive emotions.
At the start, Marianne (Tilda Swinton) and her younger lover, Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts), have the island to themselves. She's a rock star—apparently a big one, used to playing massive auditoriums along the lines of Madison Square Garden—but now she is recovering from a throat operation and resting her voice. She and Paul are sharing a cozy mud bath in the sun when the cell phone goes off. It's their mutual friend Harry, who is about to land at the airport.
Harry is an irrepressible extrovert, talking constantly, full of warmth, enthusiasm and ebullience, so if I tell you he's played by Ralph Fiennes, that might sound a little weird, or at least surprising. But Fiennes has undergone a transformation in recent years. Known initially as aloof, melancholy and lizard-lipped onscreen, he has opened up an entire other side of himself and has become—not just the guy you'd hire to play a Nazi or a damaged depressive, but a delightful presence with at least double the range you thought he had.
In A Bigger Splash, he's uncontainable, singing karaoke, dancing, laughing, throwing off his clothes and giving out enormous conversational energy at all times, despite the fact that he's talking to one character who can't answer and another who's taciturn by nature and wishes he'd go away. The second Fiennes arrives onscreen, a feeling suffuses the audience. The party has started.
He brings with him his newly discovered young daughter, Penelope (Dakota Johnson), who seems to adore him and not mind or notice his physical affection for her borders on (though doesn't cross into) the peculiar. Johnson gives an arch portrait of a very young woman testing her power. She's subtle and funny, almost too subtle to be funny, but not quite. It's a very aware performance.
Throughout the film, especially the beginning, our focus is on Marianne and Paul, and how they cope with the invasion that is Harry. (First he invites himself over, and then he invites other people.) What Marianne and Paul have together seems both necessary and healing, but also eminently disruptable and delicate. Their journey into Harry's psychological orbit produces an inevitable stress on their lives and relationship.
Guadagnino and screenwriter David Kajganich (from a story written by Alain Page) keep the audience in the headspace of these four distinct characters. The filmmakers gain our trust early in the film, and from there we're willing to take the journey, whether it's to flashbacks to Marianne's music heyday or to sights of Fiennes dipping his knees, clapping his hands and dancing like a very happy (though not benign) goofball. The movie shows how, if characters are properly built, acted and made real, they become as interesting as people we know, so let them dance if they feel like it. We'll gladly watch.]]>
More than 30 years ago, the man behind Hiking Whatcom County arrived in Bellingham to attend Huxley College, and spent the first few weeks in the city living out of his car, exploring the nearby trail systems when he wasn't at class.
After forming the Bellingham Mountaineers with a few friends in the early 1980s and starting a climbing course, friends and coworkers increasingly asked him for ideas on where to hike. Eventually, someone noted that he should write a book.
Although he thought that sounded like a swell idea, the outdoorsman had no idea how to go about doing so. But after typing the text on his Atari and having friends help paste everything on camera-ready sheets, the "hiker's bible" was born.
When Wilcox returns to Bellingham from Washington D.C. to present the sixth edition of Hiking Whatcom County at events May 26-27 at Fairhaven Library and Village Books, he'll be showing off a more polished version than the original. Notable changes in the revised edition include 15 additional hikes, new maps and photos and detailed trail descriptions and maps.
While the urban greenways, forests, lakes, beaches, alpine meadows and impressive peaks Wilcox details in the trail tome haven't changed much over the years, he says there are noticeable differences when it comes to access.
"Terrain has changed in the sense that more areas are protected as parks and preserves, and many more trails have been developed, particularly around Bellingham and western Whatcom County," Wilcox says. "We also have a lot of volunteers with Washington Trails Association and other groups doing fabulous work on trails, so conditions overall are noticeably better than even a decade ago."
When asked for advice about hikes that would qualify as "easy"—at least for people who aren't scampering up mountains on the daily—he has plenty of advice.
"Hiking implies more hills and miles, but that can range from a relatively easy scoot up to Fragrance Lake in the Chuckanuts, to a 5,000-foot grind up Sourdough Mountain.
"For those who get out often, a couple of miles with 1,000 feet of elevation gain probably qualifies as an 'easy' hike. For normal folks who aren't living in their cars at trailheads, or haven't hiked much in recent memory, then it makes sense to choose something with a gain of a few hundred feet. Some spring favorites in that category are Chuckanut Ridge, Lily and Lizard lakes, Stimpson Nature Reserve, Squires Lake, Bagley Lakes, and Heather Meadows (once the snow's gone), Baker River, Baker Lake, Thunder Knob, and Happy Falls.
"Once those are out of the way, your new boots will be broken in, the scabs will have healed, and you'll be ready to test some of the more challenging hikes of summer."
"Part Twilight Zone, part Lovecraftian horror, part fun detective romp, 'Bellingham Terror' is a rather odd mixture, but when we pitched it to KMRE, they loved the concept," Sweeney says.
Although those listening in on their radios or streaming the episodes from their computers can't see the hard work that goes into each episode—from collaboration to final drafts, to working with dozens of local actors, to recording the train cars and creaking docks one might have heard in 1930s Bellingham—Sweeney says he's loved putting in the time it takes to get on air.
And, since he and Bryna are both history buffs who fell in love with Bellingham's sometimes-sordid past after moving here to go to college, the fact that they get to bring past eras to life is also a boon. In the first season, they chose the year 1935 to build on.
"In many ways, it was the most fascinating time period for Bellingham," Sweeney says. "We were right on the cusp of transitioning from a frontier town into the more cosmopolitan city we know and love today. The university was just developing from a teaching school into a full college, and the city was struggling to dig itself out of the economic depression. In short, 1935 was Bellingham's difficult adolescence."
While each episode is grounded in real locations and events, Riley and Bryna add a supernatural element. For example, listeners will find out how the rumored ghost in Fairhaven's Sycamore Square came to be, and discover who set fire to Fairhaven High School, which burned to the ground on the first day of 1936.
"Bellingham Terror" is just one of many storytelling sagas that are broadcast on KMRE, and Sweeney hopes that those who are drawn to their program will also take the time to tune into those, as well.
"Speaking to radio dramas specifically, I worry about them becoming a lost art," Sweeney says. "They allow the listener to be transported into another time or place, but that requires some skill. With laptops and microphones, it is easier than ever to help create a recording, but to do it well? To have the sounds feel natural and the characters authentic? That requires practice and hard work.
"I hope our show draws more interest in radio theater so others can discover some of the original greats; 'The Shadow,' 'Whistler' and 'Suspense'—dramas that can hold you spellbound with a word and a ringing bell. If listeners take away one thing from 'Bellingham Terror,' it is that the world of radio can be just as captivating as any other storytelling."]]>
Arrindell's subject matter is fitting, as the ninth biennial extravaganza taking place May 19-22 at various venues throughout La Conner makes it easier than usual to uncover word-related wisdom. From one-on-one consultations with writers to workshops, poetry readings, mixers and more, those who visit the picturesque locale will soon discover that if it's vivacious verse they're after, they've come to the right place.
"The festival turns La Conner into a town filled with poetry—from its churches to its museums, its community center, and its bed and breakfasts," poet Susan Rich says. "Where else can a person sleep, eat, live and breathe poetry for a spring weekend?"
If you choose to immerse yourself in the entirety of the Skagit River Poetry Festival—which is the capstone of the Skagit River Poetry Foundation's lofty goal to bring poets to classrooms more than 120 days each year—you'll want to arrive by 5:30pm Thursday and make your way to Maple Hall for a Poet's Soiree, where you can mix and mingle with festival poets, sip wine and enjoy locally sourced hors d'oeuvres.
From there, zip over to the La Conner Elementary School auditorium for a "Wake Up! Speak Out" program. At the energizing event, a handful of celebrated spoken word poets such as World Poetry Slam alum Jeanann Verlee, Detroit-based poet and filmmaker Jamaal May, American-Bangladeshi poet and educator Tarfia Faizullah, Seattle Poetry Slam curator Daemond Arrindell, and Seattle Grand Slam champion Matt Gano will challenge and provoke audiences with new poetic ideas and forms.
On Friday and Saturday, the fun continues with poetry samplers, panel discussions, student events and "A Gathering of Voices," which will see all of the festival poets be given two minutes to read one of their poems.
While Pacific Northwest wordsmiths such as Tim McNulty, Kevin Craft, Lorraine Ferra, Norman Fischer, Paul Hansen (who actually lives in La Conner), Washington State Poet Laureate Tod Marshall, Kevin Craft, and Martha Silano will be represented, the lineup also includes some of the most diverse names in poetry.
Among those visiting from afar are four-time Pushcart Prize winner Naomi Shibab Nye, Chicana poet Lorna Dee Cervantes, former pro basketball player and Mojave Indian tribal member Natalie Diaz, aforementioned scribes Tarfia Faizullah and Jamaal May, Japanese-American poet Garrett Hongo, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, and Canadian writer and philospher Jan Zwicky.
By the time Sunday rolls around, you may be tempted to sleep in late and skip the final day of the festival. That would be a mistake, as it's a chance for writers of all abilities to hone their own talents by learning from those who've achieved success in the field.
Whether you sign up for Arrindell's previously mentioned "Found Poetry" primer, Kasey Jueds' "Poetry and Silence" workshop, McNulty's "Coaxing Poems from Nature" or one of the other classes offered, it's a time to ponder the particulars of how words work—and what you need to do to make them work. If you're up to the challenge, then hie thee to La Conner.]]>
Those yuks are plentiful enough to ensure a reasonable box-office return. But viewers prone to worries about Hollywood's treatment of women—a fair chunk of whom are young students this film wants to attract—may be laughing less loudly than those around them.
In an uncharacteristically flat performance, Chloe Grace Moretz plays Shelby, who doesn't fit the Barbie mold at the sorority she's rushing, Phi Lambda. She sticks with rush even after learning that sororities can't host their own parties, and must go to frat houses to get wasted. But at her first such party, the rapey vibe is so intense (is a "No Means Yes!" banner perhaps too subtle a clue?) she and new friends Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein) decide to start their own club.
The search for a party house to call their own leads them to the vacant home next door to Mac and Kelly Radner (Rogen and Byrne), who successfully ran Zac Efron and co. out in the last picture. But how will three girls pay the $5,000 rent? Enter an unlikely mentor: Efron's Teddy Sanders, whose bros have done an astonishing amount of growing up in the two years since we saw them (and, in the case of Dave Franco's Pete, come out of the closet), leaving him the only one without a real career. In one quick scene, the girls go from telling Teddy he's sexist to admitting they're clueless about every real-world suggestion he is making to enlisting him as the man who will show them how to get money from other girls to rent the house. Rarely if ever in this script is an accusation of sexism not either made to look dumb or used as a joke.
Mac (Rogen) and Kelly (Byrne), getting set to have a second child, have just managed to sell this house and buy a bigger one in the suburbs. But this one is in escrow, with the new owners having 30 days to make random inspections and back out for any reason. Reasons like, say, a yard full of beer cans next door.
Teddy, looking to get even with his old neighbors (let's forget they actually patched things up after the last movie's parents-vs-fratboys warfare), sets out to host parties so outlandish no prospective homebuyer could ignore them. But as they come into their own as party animals, the girls give Teddy the heave-ho, saying the most hurtful thing a low-IQ stud like this could hear: "You're not like us, dude, you're an old person." Teddy rebounds by joining Mac and Kelly in their attempt to shut the sorority down.
The ensuing back-and-forth assault is often funny, but doesn't work nearly as well as the first film's action. A set piece involving a massive weed heist at a tailgate party provides weird madcap action, and yes, it offers the frequently shirtless Efron the opportunity to striptease for panting college girls. But another involving iPhone sabotage (texting being one of the few things Shelby's crew is good at, evidently) is incoherent, depending on nonsensical responses from the adult victims.
The movie's neo-sorority villains are not the only brain-deprived characters onscreen—Teddy doesn't understand boiling water; Kelly's best friend is 8.97 months pregnant and doesn't know how labor works. But especially in a sequel that deprives its adult female lead of the comic opportunities she did so well with in the first film, their depiction here feels like a provocation to any woman or man in the crowd who yearns for more sentient female characters in pop culture. But this is only a movie, right? It's not like it has any effect on how real men and women view each other in the world. Tell that to the Women's Studies professors these students will meet if they ever put down the bong long enough to take school seriously.]]>
Owners Steven and Kathy Anderson opened the Place 20 years ago after relocating to San Juan Island from Seattle, where they had run two Italian restaurants. "Our vision was for casual fine dining featuring fresh, local seafood, organic produce and meat from some of the great farmers up here," Steven says.
Emphasis is on Northwest coastal cuisine, and the Andersons lean toward regional, local, sustainable fish and shellfish using a culinary style that mixes Europe with Asia. Expect white tablecloths and fresh flowers on the tables of this restaurant, which seats as many as 74 diners and is a popular place year-round but especially so in the summer, when whale-watching tourists flock to the island.
Our window-side table overlooked the marina and ferry terminal, which meant we were entertained by the arrival and departure of the Washington State Ferry and the dusk light settling across the harbor all through our meal. The view was undeniably stunning.
Luckily, the food was just as good. Steven and Kathy's son Sean heads up the kitchen, and he knows what he's doing in there. We started with a shiitake and button mushroom sauté with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes, served with crostini and goat cheese ($16). A great shared plate, it was a tasty, rich composition and a wonderfully light appetizer on a spring evening.
For entrees we chose the halibut special and the Pacific Rim Bouillabaisse ($36). The latter, a signature dish at the Place, consists of Northwest fish and shellfish in an Asian coconut milk and fish broth, served over jasmine rice. It had a lemony, creamy flavor and my dining partner, a San Juan Islander, couldn't stop rhapsodizing about it. My halibut dish was succulent and delicious but left me no space for dessert, which was a pity given the sweet selection looked unbelievably good.
All desserts are made in-house and the warm chocolate pudding cake ($9.50), served on a pool of toffee sauce with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, was calling our name.
You don't go to the Place for a cheap meal, and you have to expect to pay more for island food, given the distance it has to travel. Entrees range from $29 for a black bean ravioli with shrimp, to $41 for filet mignon. The menu is relatively tight, with a fresh fish selection, shrimp and seafood dishes, a vegan vegetable bowl and beef and lamb. Our bill for two entrees, a shared starter, a glass of wine and a soda came to $103 before tip. It was worth every penny.]]>
Next to the dirty biter is Wayne Chaudiere's "Cloud Buster," happily put together out of rusty gears, pistons and bicycle chains—evoking an iron-age arrow launcher worthy of a Plantagenet siege. It's one of seven new outdoor sculptures chosen in the 2016 La Conner juried exhibition.
Each of these new works by prominent Northwest artists will be on view and available for sale during the next two years.
An opening celebration at 1pm Sun., May 22 will take place at Gilkey Square, followed by a narrated walking tour. At any other time, you can use a map available from the visitors center for a self-guided tour.
Well-known glass sculptor Lin McJunkin is a repeat honoree. Her "Kelp Totem" (2014) belongs to the town's permanent collection. The present show includes her new work (with iron sculptor, Milo White), "Fossil," a framework of steel hexagons enclosing cast-glass lenses.
Another prize-winning glass sculptor is Gerry Newcomb. An internship at the Pilchuck School introduced him to the painstaking technique of translating a plaster model into colorful, reflective and transparent glass. His splendid "Ancient Sea" stands under an overhanging tree near the Magnus Anderson cabin.
Sadly, Newcomb's original entry, "Water and Air," won't be on view. It had been bolted into the sidewalk before the town council removed it out of concern that it was too delicate and might be vulnerable to wind and vandals.
Across from the staircase down from Benton Street, you'll find a pair of winners: Dan Freeman's "Big Red Wiggle," and Michael Oppenheimer's "Strata Various."
Metal, wood and stone are Freeman's materials. From grade school, he wanted to be an artist. He experienced an "a-ha" moment when he encountered saws, lathes and drills in high school shop class. He subsequently supported himself by working in construction until he moved to Whidbey Island, where he now makes beautiful art full time. He loves to combine manmade and natural materials and sometimes shows how things go together by leaving screws and welds in plain view. His pieces are typically characterized by an upward-moving energy.
Sailors linger nearby, studying Michael Oppenheimer's "Strata Various" to observe how each element of the stainless steel assembly responds to wind direction and velocity, making visible the differing "strata" of air.
If you like his work, visit the Windy Hill sculpture park on Lummi Island and watch a menagerie of wind-driven creations wiggle, chime and sing from dawn to dusk.
La Conner was excited this year to receive a winning entry from neighboring British Columbia, in the form of Wan-Yi Lin and Roger Chen's "Me and My Quiet Thoughts." Their minimalist three concrete tables invite exploration of the inner self, invoking us to live thoughtfully and in peace.]]>
But even for a place that consistently boasts some of the consistently best music in town, the coming week of shows is something special.
I realize that for most people, a standard week begins with one weekend and ends with the next, but owing to the publishing schedule of this fine publication and the hold it has on my life, my weeks run from Wednesday to Wednesday, and so it shall be here.
That fairly arbitrary parameter exists mostly so I can begin this entertainment roundup with Chris Pureka, who will play the Green Frog on Weds., May 18. Like most of the artists that will take the smallish stage at the bar, Pureka is a stranger neither to Bellingham nor the Green Frog. She's been touring for the past 15 years, and has been making her way here for most of that time. A prolific artist for much of her career, Pureka has been curiously silent of late—that is, until a little more than a month ago when she released the aptly titled Back in the Ring, her first full-length studio album in six years. It's proof Pureka is a musician who still has things to say, the least we can do is show up and listen.
A day later, on Thurs., May 19, the Green Frog will host a bona fide Wailin' Jenny. Ruth Moody has spent more than a decade as one-third of Canada's beloved—and award-winning—folk trio the Wailin' Jennys. As you might guess, being a Jenny takes up a goodly amount of Moody's creative capital, but not so much that the acclaimed soprano can't eke out a solo career in her spare time. An incredibly nimble vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with countless performances to her credit, Moody is comfortable on whatever stage she plays, whether it's that of "A Prairie Home Companion" or the more intimate confines of the Green Frog.
The following night's entertainment, Jeffrey Foucault, flies a little further under the radar than does a founding member of the Wailin' Jennys—but that doesn't mean you should make the mistake of underestimating him. Foucault has been making music for a long time, and doing it the old-fashioned way—not by uploading songs to his SoundCloud and waiting for the world to discover him, but by discovering the world, one small-town music venue and out-of-the-way dive bar at a time. He's probably best described as a "songwriter's songwriter" in that you may not be familiar with his work, but people like Van Dyke Parks and Don Henley consider themselves fans. A practitioner of spare, stark, dark blues and folk, Foucault is one of a dying breed of hardcore troubadours.
Since the Green Frog has never been wont to follow established guidelines and accepted practices for, well, anything, Saturday is a day of rest at the venue, while Sun., May 21 offers up what could probably be described as a religious experience—provided you and owner James Hardesty go to the same church, one characterized by much music, a penchant for profanity and more than a passing acquaintance with sin. In that case, you'll want to belly up to the bar before preparing to worship at the stage, where Richard Smith will be performing the Sunday service. In most circles, Smith is probably described as a guitar virtuoso, which, in my world, makes him a total shredder. Whatever you call him, he's good enough to switch between fingerpicking and flatpicking on the fly, his flawless technique making the impossible look easy.
We end our look at a week (or eight days, but who's counting?) in the life of the Green Frog on Weds., May 25 with Tim Easton, a songwriter I discovered right around the same time as I stumbled upon Jeffrey Foucault. The two musicians certainly have some things in common—being criminally under-the-radar, having a certain preference for smaller rooms and intimate audiences, enjoying the support of more well-known contemporaries, which in Easton's case includes Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, and John Hiatt. But Easton is steeped in a more alt-country sound (his debut album was recorded using three-quarters of Wilco as his backing band) and a more straightforward storytelling style. He also has a known affinity for playing at the Green Frog—and one glance at the venue's calendar proves he's in very good company.
Who: Ruth Moody, Jeffrey Foucault, Richard Smith, more
When: May 18-25
Where: Green Frog, 1015 N. State St.
Cost: $12-$15

Personally, I'm a native-born American entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in developing technology based ventures. I'm not just merely a facilitator though, I can get right in there and sling code with the best of them. I've been consulting with a focus on Microsoft and Adobe based enterprise technologies since 1997. I've been a nomadic freelancer, since long before freelancing was cool. To say I'm a self starter would be putting it mildly. Presently, I'm living and growing my business in Europe and return to the United States once a quarter. We have developed web and software applications for some of the biggest organizations throughout the world. Over the years we've become known as turn around consultants, turning a projects that have gone awry into successful completed ones. Tired of poor communication and missed deadlines? Give us a call today! The following are a few of my personal favorite projects: * Produced a very modular web based "lead" and event management system for churches around the globe. * Wrote a web application for a vacation property management company that succeeded in netting over $1M for 4 years straight. * Developed a cutting edge web/software/mobile application for a medium sized transportation company that manages *every* aspect of inbound and outbound shipments from purchase order to delivery confirmation. * Developed a Java application for a health care organization that manages the distribution of medicine to end of life patients around the country. This Java app shaved precious DAYS off of the delivery process and resulted in saved lives. * We presently consult on retainer for one of the oldest and largest paid submission search engines on the planet. This particular company using truly bleeding edge Microsoft technologies. Some of our clients have included: The United States Department of Defense, South Carolina Department of Transportation, Verizon, eBay, IBM, BASF, bestoftheweb.com, State Farm Insurance, National Fidelity, UPS, and a plethora of other small and medium sized businesses. Our core technical competencies are: AJAX, ASP.Net, ASP, C#, ColdFusion, DotNetNuke, HTML 4/5, Javascript, jQuery, MySql, SQL Server, and VB.Net. In 2009 we also expanded into the Administrative Support, Data Processing, and Translation (human and machine) fields.
