text:
Sappho is the greatest lyric poet of antiquity. Plato, a century after her death, referred to her as "the Tenth Muse," and Longinos, in his first-century treatise "On the Sublime," uses her verse to exemplify that transcendent quality in literature. In Sappho's lyrics we hear for the first time in the West the words of an individual woman of her own world: her apprehension of sun and orchards; the troubles and summits of love, desire, and friendship. Her poems combine an impression of intimate self-involvement with an almost modern sense of detachment.
Though time has reduced the nine volumes of her work to a handful of complete poems and a collection of fragments, each word and phrase that survives is poignantly significant. The clarity of her voice, its absolute candor, its amazing fresh authority—whether in addressing a goddess, dancers before a night altar, the moon and stars, a sweet apple or mountain hyacinth, a lamb or cricket, a lover or companion—are qualities that compel us today as in antiquity.
Willis Barnstone has given us a close and beautiful lyrical version. His translation, with the original Greek on facing pages, includes a dozen hitherto unintelligible fragments that have been brought vibrantly back to life by him, as well as Sappho's newly discovered poem from the Cologne papyrus in its complete form. It also contains the translator's essay placing the poet in her historic and artistic context; a glossary; extensive notes; an epilogue and metrical guide by William E. McCulloh, Professor Emeritus of Classics at Kenyon College; and a special section of testimonia: appreciations of Sappho in the words of her ancient admirers.
"There have been many translations of Sappho's work by gifted and well-meaning writers. . . . None quite connects the shards and fragments with the same satisfying verve and flair as Willis Barnstone. Barnstone is one of the greatest translators of literary expression from a foreign language into English." —New Letters
"I have this Sappho with me all the time now, as this collection is absolutely stunning in every respect, and I'm filled with gratitude to you for having borne it into the world. May your Sappho be blessed. It is a tremendous gift to all of us." —Carolyn Forché, author of The Country Between Us and The Blue Hour
"Mysterious, mellifluous Sappho shines anew in this glorious translation, and Barnstone's masterful introduction locates her historically, unveils her impassioned life, and reflects on the sensuous grace of her poetry, revealing the woman as she's never been seen before." —Diane Ackerman, author of A Natural History of the Senses
"A feast for those who, like me, are hungry to know more about the great poet Sappho. The translations of the poems and fragments read elegantly and the introduction and supporting material are lavishly informative and interesting." —David Ferry, translator of Gilgamesh and The Georgics of Virgil
"What a joy to have Willis Barnstone's Sweetbitter Love. This is not only a vivid, sensuously elegant translation of every scrap of Sappho we have; the wonderful introduction is designed to increase our ardor as well as our knowledge, and the appendix containing everything the ancients said of her as well as poetic tributes up through Baudelaire's is itself a treasure." —Alicia Ostriker, author of No Heaven and Stealing the Language: The Emergence of Women's Poetry in America
"Sappho knew what we never tire of learning: passion makes the moment eternal. Willis Barnstone has plumbed profound layers of the ancient Greek to bring us Sappho. On his way to her, he renewed the Gnostic Gospels and the Gospels proper. Now he has sounded the deepest lyric rock of our founding and given us new sound." —Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator and author of It Was Today: New Poems
"Willis Barnstone has brought a life dedicated to translation and a lifetime of immersion in the Greek language to give us these new and inspired translations of Sappho. With its brilliant introduction and dazzling notes, this is the book of Sappho you will want on your bedside table." —David St. John, author of The Red Leaves of Night
"As a student I treasured the original Barnstone Sappho, and it is a joy to have this new version made current with the latest scholarship and enriched by four decades of further reflection. Sappho's famous voice is clear and powerful, even in the shards that remain to us, and Barnstone embraces and captures this phenomenon like no one else. This is a Sappho rendered with wisdom and heart for newcomers and connoissers alike." —Jeffrey Henderson, Editor, Loeb Classical Library
"What amazes me is how Sappho's lyrics, composed in the seventh century B.C.E., transcend their time and place to enchant us now. In lines that are at once passionate and precise, seemingly artless and yet magical, she writes of the cycles of life and death, and of erotic desire as a sacred calling. She looks into the burning center of things, and expresses pure wonder in the evening star, the moon, birdsong. Willis Barnstone's masterful translations capture her excited praise for things of this world, making one of her prophetic observations shine with lasting truth: 'Someone, I tell you, in another time, / will remember us.'" —Grace Schulman, author of Days of Wonder and The Paintings of Our Lives
"Eros has been riding Barnstone's back for years, whipping him across Spanish, French, Greek, Chinese poetry, across the poetry and prose of the biblical lands to translate from those literatures poetry, to make them new and his. Now he has embraced Sappho, with whom he has been in love for years. What he has made 'his' is a gift to us. Barnstone-lover, poet, and scholar-cannot make Sappho's fragments whole, but he makes us more aware of our loss than any other translation. He gives us the abyss, and fragments of Sappho in startling English-a few words that in ancient Greek changed its music and made the walls of the city tremble." —Stanley Moss, author of Asleep in the Garden
"If there is any justice, which there probably isn't, the world of letters would erect a monument of Willis Barnstone and strew it with fresh wildflowers every day. I think of this Sappho collection as the finest among Barnstone's prodigious achievements." —Jim Harrison, author of True North and Legends of the Fall

Address: 2811 Tieton Drive, Yakima WA 98902
Choosing the right care »

Is my child sick? »
¿Tiene un niño enfermo? »
The emergency department (ED) at Memorial consists of 25 beds in the main ER and 9 beds in our urgent care area. Our providers are trained in Emergency Medicine and treat more than 77,000 patients a year. Care is available to all patients regardless of race, ethnic origin, religion or financial status.
Physicians and nurses who are specially trained in emergency medicine provide care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Other specialists may be called in for consultation, special procedures and/or surgery. The ED provides for patients' emergent needs; and, all patients presenting to the ED are examined by a trained provider. Patients are encouraged to have an established relationship with a primary care physician for routine medical care.
Patients who require assistance in finding a health care provider should call the Yakima County Medical Society at 575-5550 for a list of providers taking new patients.
Understanding the emergency department
Since the provision of quality care is important to us, the following information may help patients and their families better understand how this critical department functions.
Triage is a French word meaning "to sort." Prior to registering, patients will be seen by a nurse who will ask questions about the patient's medical condition. That nurse will prioritize the patients in the order of urgency. Some patients will be immediately taken to the treatment area while others may wait longer based on the assessment of the triage nurse. Patients with less severe medical complaints may be triaged to the urgent care department.
During the registration process, the patient or their guardian or advocate will be asked for identifying information, health insurance information, and the name of the patient's health care provider, if applicable.
All adults must sign for medical care and treatment. Parental consent or consent from a legal guardian is necessary for all children under the age of 18. In a life-threatening situation, emergent care will be given while efforts are made to contact the parent or guardian.
Every effort is made to provide prompt care
Occasionally there are unavoidable delays which may cause longer waits for our patients after the triage process.
Circumstances that may delay treatment include:
- The most seriously ill or injured are seen first.
- Ambulances arrive at the back door of the ED. If those patients' medical needs are more critical that those of the patients' needs in the waiting area, they are seen first.
- Depending on a patient's medical needs it may be necessary to wait for a special procedure room for care. After examination by the ED physician, a specialist may need to be called in from outside the hospital.
- After being examined the patient may need to wait for procedures such as x-rays and blood tests to be completed.
There are no phones in the patient care rooms. In the case of an immediate need for a phone, please see an ED staff member for direction.
Visitation policy
Visits depend on the care needs of the patient. One or two visitors per room are allowed, however, food and drink are not allowed in the rooms. While in the ED, please remain at the bedside to respect other patients' privacy.
Parents are encouraged to stay with their children who are patients. Other children should remain in the waiting area with a responsible adult. Visitors may be asked to go to the waiting area during the examination to provide privacy for the patient.
Personal items
The ED is not responsible for lost items. Patients and/or their guardians or advocates are asked to take all items with them that may have been brought into the patient care room.
Memorial's pharmacy operates 24 hours a day to provide take-home prescriptions for ED patients. Payment for take-home prescriptions is required at time of service.

If you have a heart condition, do not ascend the mountain without
checking with your physician. Your heart's arterial vessels dilate
with prolonged exposure to the high altitude. This increases the
flow of blood to the cardiac muscle, so you should carefully monitor
your physical activity and pulse rate, and remember to pace yourself.
Even light exertion at a high altitude may increase your pulse rate
to more than 100. This will put more demand on your heart. Altitude
medicine can help this problem, but if you have cardiac artery disease,
too much exertion could lead to a cardiac incident.
Your respiratory rate will also increase. This may cause hyperventilation,
which results in light-headedness and a general body tingling sensation.
At high altitudes, there is less of an atmosphere to filter out
the harmful ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn. You may receive
first-degree and even second-degree burns after only 15 minutes
of unprotected exposure. Given time--five minutes per day for about
one week--your skin can make enough ultraviolet-absorbing pigment
to protect itself. As a precaution, wear sunscreen during the daytime,
and watch out for white patches on your nose and ears. Practice
the buddy system--watch out for others. To protect your eyes from
ultraviolet rays, wear dark glasses during the daytime.
You may experience eye pain, decreased tolerance to light, and
decreased night vision.
If you smoke, abstain from smoking for at least 48 hours before
your ascent to allow the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood
to decrease. The blood supply to your lungs will then increase,
as will your breathing capacity, unless your lungs have been damaged
by tobacco.
Drink plenty of water prior to your ascent both to provide your
kidneys with enough fluid to work properly and to avoid dehydration
from pulmonary water losses. Your kidneys will dump their excess
water and sodium to concentrate your blood, hastening your adaptation
to low oxygen levels.
Foods such as beans, onions, and cabbage may cause intestinal gas
to expand, resulting in flatulence, bowel distension, and even pain
at high altitudes.
At high altitudes, your blood vessels dilate to increase the flow
of oxygen-carrying blood to the brain. This may cause a pounding
headache. Medication prescribed by a physician may partially compensate
for this, but you should still be alert for other effects of decreased
oxygen: impaired decision-making, memory, and mathematical ability.
Breathing at sea-level pressures allows nitrogen gas in your bloodstream
to dissipate readily by exhalation; this process is greatly reduced
at high altitudes, so you should not scuba dive for 24 hours prior
to ascending the mountain. If you SCUBA dive below 50 feet within
12 hours of ascent, you risk formation of nitrogen bubbles in your
joints and brain, a dangerous condition known as "the bends."
You should not ascend the mountain for at least 48 hours after you
have dived below 100 feet.

Poland Hotels
Find a place to stay
Hotels in Poland
A diverse and culturally-rich country in Eastern Europe, Poland has been occupied or invaded by most of its neighbors over the centuries, but has managed to preserve or restore some of Europe's most distinctive and beautiful cities. Any visitor to Poland will be drawn by the romantic elegance of Krakow, while Gdansk in the north has its own lovingly-restored medieval center. The capital Warsaw has rebuilt its baroque palaces and is enjoying a 21st-century regeneration, while Poznan is a lively university town with a vibrant cafe culture. Poland's outdoor spaces are superb attractions in their own right, particularly the Tatra mountains of the south and the unique and ancient Bialowieza forest in the south-east. Online hotel booking specialist Hotels.com offers the best value Poland hotels, regardless of location or budget. Book Poland accommodation in advance at Hotels.com and enjoy your vacation in this fascinating country.
What's Poland Like?
Poland's cities are obvious starting points for any exploration of the country. Krakow is the jewel of Poland, one of the great Eastern European cities, with a Renaissance castle, a magnificent cathedral, an elegant art nouveau theater, and atmospheric streets full of tempting bars and cafes. In the north, Gdansk is significant as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement that triggered the downfall of the Communist regime in the 1980s, but its old town is striking, featuring the world's largest brick Gothic church. Nearby Sopot is a stylish and lively Baltic resort. In the south, the Tatra mountains offer facilities for hikers and skiers, spectacular waterfalls, picturesque mountain lakes, and wildlife that includes bears and lynxes. Poland hotels offer the perfect base to uncover the diverse treasures of this evocative land.
Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Poland
In major tourist destinations like Krakow, English may be widely understood, but elsewhere, not so much. The visitor to Poland should try at least a few basic phrases in Polish as ice-breakers. Handy greetings include "Dzien dobry" for good day and "Pani mowi po angielsku?" for do you speak English? Polish culinary specialties tend to be robust and inexpensive. Look out for traditional dishes like barszcz, the spicy beetroot soup often served with a small pie or pastry, and pierogi, dumplings stuffed with cheese, meat or mushrooms. Getting around Poland is relatively simple and cheap by train, although the services can be very slow. Consult the Hotels.com site to get a wealth of information on Poland hotels. Our certified guest reviews, multiple photos and sample room descriptions provide a clear picture of what to expect from places to stay in Poland.

What is Atlanta's Table?
Atlanta's Table is the project of ACFB that collects prepared food from Atlanta's Hospitality Industry. Restaurants, caterers, corporate dining rooms, hotels, convention centers, special events and other food service providers are among the more than 200 hospitality industry donors that regularly contribute food to Atlanta's Table, the Atlanta Community Food Bank's prepared and perishable food rescue project. Atlanta's Table collects and distributes thousands of pounds of food every month. For agencies feeding large numbers of people, Atlanta's Table is an invaluable resource. Family Shelters, childcare centers and community kitchens are among the agencies that benefit from this service. Our temperature-controlled vehicles carefully collect and distribute these perishable food donations. Procedures approved by county health departments are strictly followed to ensure nourishment safely reaches those in need. For more information on donating excess prepared food from your establishment, contact Atlanta's Table at firstname.lastname@example.com or 404.892.FEED (3333) x1234.
What kind of food can I donate to Atlanta's Table?
You can donate any food your establishment has prepared that never made it out of the kitchen – food that has never been exposed to your customers. All food must be frozen or kept below 41 degrees – if it can be frozen, please freeze it.
Who receives the food I donate?
Food donated to our Atlanta's Table project is distributed directly to approximately 40 of ACFB's partner agencies that operate meal service programs – most consist of community kitchens and shelters.
Am I liable for the food I donate?
No. State and Federal Good Samaritan Legislation protects our food donors from liability if food is donated in good faith and no intentional harm is intended. Learn more about Good Samaritan liability protection for food donors.
How can I be sure the food I donate is handled safely?
We pick up and deliver all perishable food donations in ACFB's temperature-controlled vehicles. All of our drivers have completed safe food handling courses and must adhere to safe food handling procedures approved by the health department.
Can I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes. ACFB provides receipts for all product donations. All receipts contain our Tax Exempt ID # and any pertinent information a donor needs.
Why should I donate to the Atlanta Community Food Bank?
Without product donations from the food and hospitality industries, ACFB would not be able to provide millions of pounds of food each year to our network of partner agencies. Our agencies often tell us that without the product they receive from ACFB, they could not continue to serve the growing numbers of people seeking assistance.
The state of Georgia and the federal government protect donors from liability through "Good Samaritan" legislation. In 1987, the Georgia Legislature passed an amendment to the Good Samaritan Food Laws, and in 1996, President Clinton signed the Federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Both laws protect good faith donations of food unless injury is caused intentionally by the donor. Learn more about liability protection for food donors.
A note about tax benefits: Federal tax laws provide most food donors with charitable deductions. It is recommended that you consult your accountant or tax advisor in order to determine the exact charitable contribution to which you may be entitled.
If you are an individual interested in making a prepared food donation from an event you had catered, we recommend that you donate your food to an ACFB partner agency near you due to the perishable nature of prepared food. Find your nearest community kitchen.

The tweet was short, but to the point.
"I'M IN!!! #CLIPPERNATION." From Chris Paul's keyboard to the Clippers' ears, what had been widely anticipated appears to be true as the All-Star point guard is headed toward signing a five-year, $107 million contract to return to the team.
The free agent was wooed by coach Doc Rivers on Sunday night and made the Twitter announcement on Monday. Per NBA rules, deals can be struck but not officially signed until July 10.
Paul, the pillar of the foundation on the floor and in the locker room, now stands as a beacon for other free agents glancing in the Clippers' direction. That also began in earnest as the free agency chase opened after 9 p.m. PDT on Sunday.
For the Clippers, the chase means putting the right pieces around Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
In order to get the shooting help the Clippers covet, they could turn to JJ Redick of Milwaukee and O.J. Mayo of Dallas. Both are free agents, but both of their clubs can offer better deals than the Clippers could, so a sign-and-trade scenario might have to happen in each instance.
Mayo, a former USC star, averaged 15.3 points and 4.4 assists last season. Redick averaged 14.4 points.
Another guard the Clippers could seek is Memphis' Tony Allen, a tenacious defender who could help the Clippers guard the outside shot and provide occasional scoring punch, as they discovered during their first-round playoff defeat.
If the Clippers do agree to a trade, it's apparent that backup point guard Eric Bledsoe would be the one to be shipped. Bledsoe showed flashes of brilliance both as a backup to Paul and as a starter when Paul was out because of injury, and could be ready to take over as a starter for another franchise.
Still on his rookie contract, Bledsoe is slated to make $2.6 million next season and be eligible for a qualifying offer after the 2014-15 season. The Clippers would have to weigh his value in that regard as a backup point guard or as a player who could be dealt for a commodity of higher value.
When Paul signs, the Clippers will have 10 players under contract, meaning they have a busy summer, much like last year when they were still pulling players in until the virtual eve of training camp.
Including Paul, the Clippers have only Griffin, Jordan and Jamal Crawford locked up through next season. They also have to decide if they will exercise their options on DaJuan Summers and Maalik Wayns for next season.
JOE ROBBINS — GETTY IMAGES Chris Paul wasted no time in telling the Clippers he wants to continue his NBA career in Los Angeles, where he'll join Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan to form a solid nucleus in hopes of turning the team into a championship contender.

Your browser does not support iframes.
Never having written a "letter to the editor," this is indeed a first for me but having such a passion for our State Representative position, I feel compelled to endorse candidate Dick Heaton.
I feel it is very important to understand who is running for office - the person, the real person. Too often, we go to the polls knowing very little about the candidates running for office in our county. So, I would like to share some of my thoughts and opinions about one of our candidates running for Circuit Clerk, Paulita Keith. You could call this a personal recommendation.
I am a veteran of World War II. I can see as much difference in our society and the church today as day light and dark. The presidential election is coming up on November 6. The Church, Christian, most definitely need to be praying for our country. I don't need to remind you the condition our country is in.
I would like to express my opinion as to who would be the best person suited to help guide our city in a positive and forward direction as a member of Shepherdsville City Council. In these trying times voters have an added amount of responsibility in choosing proven leaders and Sherman Tinnell is a person who certainly fits that description. He and I worked together in the flood of 1997 buy out as members of City government. He is a very compassionate person who worked many long hours helping those in need.
We would like to thank the people of Bullitt County for their support after the death of our parents, Gerald and Mona Tamme. Their neighbors have been absolutely priceless, the cards, visits, calls and emails have been much appreciated. Even though "Thank You" notes have been sent, we are sure we have failed to send cards to some involved and for that we apologize. Words cannot express our gratitude. We are proud to be from Bullitt.
With the election season just around the corner, I was giving some thought to whom I will cast my vote for. Although, maybe not as important as the presidential race, the school board came to mind.
Paulita will work with you and she is not against the handicapped. I ask her opponent for help concerning a lie one of his employee's told in a affidavit to the Department of Drivers License in Frankfort. He told me he would not help me. If you have a friend or loved one who is handicapped, I ask you for your vote for Paulita Keith. She will work for and with you.

Durable, flexible and capable of handling a variety of tough jobs, the truck is a resourceful open-bedded vehicle that can be both stylish and utilitarian. These workhorses of the road are available in different styles, configurations and sizes, and have played an important part in the labor work force. All trucks provide the driver with a commanding vantage point, and most have ample space for hauling large loads. Some models also include extra seating for additional passengers.
The History of Trucks
In 1925, the first production line-manufactured truck that was available to the public was actually a variation on the Model T Ford. It had a rear modification to add a cargo bed and was known as the Model T Ford Runabout with Pickup Body.
The first closed-cab pickup truck was Ford's Model A, which came along in 1928. It was equipped with a safety glass windscreen and roll-up side windows. The Model A was originally powered by a four-cylinder engine, but in 1932, Ford introduced the option of having a 65 horsepower flathead V-8 to replace the four-cylinder.
This added muscle transformed the Model A pickup into a true workhorse, ideally suited for use in the many parts of the country, which was still predominantly rural. By 1936, Ford was the industry leader in trucks and had already produced more than three million vehicles.
In 1955, Japanese automaker Datsun introduced the first compact pickup truck. In the following decade, compact model pickups became popular in the United States. Datsun's chief competitor Toyota also entered the market, and the two Japanese automakers dominated the compact truck market for a decade. Eventually, the big American car companies took notice, and during the 1970s, U.S. automakers contracted Japanese automakers such as Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Isuzu to manufacture compact trucks such as the Chevrolet Luv and the Ford Courier.
Truck Variations.
Compact trucks are only one of the several different varieties of commercially produced trucks available to buyers over the years. The compact, however, is currently the most popular variety of truck according to worldwide sales. Built like a miniature version of a standard twin axle heavy truck, compacts have conventional cabs and gas tanks with the same capacity as a passenger car.
Midsize trucks were introduced to the public in the 1980s when the Dodge Dakota was presented. Essentially a compact truck available with a V-8 or a V-6, the Dakota set the standard for the midsize truck with its added power and impressive capacity to carry a full-size load.
However for drivers who are looking to get the job done, there is nothing like a full-size pickup, which is a large, powerful vehicle designed to carry heavy loads. The average full-size has the capacity to haul about 1,000 pounds. Standard bed sizes allow for carrying materials up to 4- and 8-feet long.
Even larger than full-size are dual-wheeled pickups, better known as "Dualies." These vehicles are essentially full-size pickups with four wheels on the rear axle alone. Sometimes dual-wheeled models are equipped with a "fifth wheel" connector in the bed to assist with towing trailers and other heavy loads.
Four-wheel drive trucks are designed for driving over rugged terrain. These trucks are driven by all four wheels and outfitted with rugged suspensions. Often such vehicles are also driven for recreational purposes.
Truck Brands
Popular compact truck in the U.S. and Europe include the Chevrolet Colorado, the GMC Canyon, and the Ford Ranger.
The Dodge Dakota is still a popular model in the midsize segment of the truck market; however, it now competes with a number of other models including the GMC Canyon, the Nissan Frontier, and the Toyota Tacoma. While many midsize trucks are now only available with 4- or 6-cylinder engines, the Dakota still offers the option of a V-8 engine.
Several models of full-size trucks are big sellers today such as the Chevrolet Silverado, the Dodge Ram, the Ford F-Series, and the Toyota Tundra and others.
Who Drives Trucks?
Because trucks tend to be so useful and versatile, they can fit any driver. Heavy full-size trucks and dual-wheeled models are ideal for anyone who needs a vehicle for towing or hauling purposes. Compacts are also very utilitarian and offer similar fuel economy to a midsize or compact sedan.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has proceeded through his knee rehab with no reported complications, and this week brought another milestone.
According to Mike Jones of the Washington Post, Griffin went through three straight days of cutting and changing directions, and had no setbacks.
It seems every step of his rehab has been documented, and no problems have been reported yet. He said earlier this month he wasn't worried about any problems cropping up, but it's one thing to say it and another to do it without complication.
Every indication is that he's on track to complete his comeback in a timely fashion, which would help ease the mind of a coaching staff that doesn't seem inclined to change their game-planning because of his condition.

LAWRENCE, KS — Just a little over a year after opening a new 98,500-square-foot student recreation center, the University of Kansas is in the process of planning an additional 50,000-square-foot expansion.
"It is a little extraordinary and exciting that we are already preparing for expansions of existing areas such as gymnasiums, racquetball courts, free weight areas and track," Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said.
Plans call for doubling the number of gymnasium courts to eight, doubling the size of the free weight area, expanding the current eighth-mile running track to a quarter mile and adding more racquetball courts to the center.
The $6.3 million expansion is needed due to high demand. On a typical day 4,000 students come into the center, and some days the numbers are over 5,000 — far over capacity in certain areas of the $17 million facility.
Chappell said that if all goes as scheduled, the new expansion could open sometime in 2007.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Sunday was supposed to be when the controversy and tragedy that have surrounded the 34th America's Cup regatta would finally give way to a breathtaking spectacle of 72-foot catamarans racing around San Francisco Bay, barely touching the water, at speeds once unheard of in sailing.
However, in keeping with an event where little has gone as planned, the skipper of Italian competitor Luna Rossa Challenge said Friday that - as a matter of principle - his team may not show up for the match with Emirates Team New Zealand that was supposed to kick off the summer of racing.
"We're here to race, but with fair rules," declared Max Sirena, the Luna Rossa captain.
Bickering over the rules is an America's Cup tradition. Both Luna Rossa, backed by Prada fashion mogul Patrizio Bertelli, and New Zealand have objected to boat design changes that were put in place in the wake of a May accident that killed British Olympic sailor and Artemis Racing crew member Andrew Simpson. An international jury is considering the arguments, but a formal hearing was not scheduled until Monday.
Cancellation of the opening race of the Louis Vuitton Cup, the winner of which will face off against Oracle Team USA for the America's Cup, may ultimately have little impact on the competition. Still, it would be a symbol of how Oracle Corp software mogul Larry Ellison's ambitious effort to re-shape what critics deride as a rich man's yacht race has gone awry.
Russell Coutts, a New Zealander who led his nation's successful America's Cup campaign a decade ago before defecting to head Ellison's Oracle racing team, had some choice words for the protesting Italian team.
"It's a bunch of spoiled little rich kids dressed in Prada gear," he said.
Ellison, who won the cup in 2010 and with it the right to set the rules for this year's race, hoped to make the 162-year-old competition more accessible to everyday sports fans and push the boundaries of high-tech boat design.
The result was a competition featuring huge, lightweight twin hulled boats made of carbon fiber, with hard "wing" mainsails. The AC72s, as they are called, have the ability to lift up out of the water on hydrofoils to reach speeds near 50 miles per hour (80 km per hour), the upper range for many fast motor boats. With San Francisco Bay forming a natural amphitheatre, the races will be visible from shore. The goal was to give viewers a show that would be closer to Formula One motor sports than to a traditional yacht race.
But the aggressive design helped push the cost of fielding a strong challenge above the $100 million mark, and the number of teams has dwindled from the 12 to 15 originally anticipated to just four. The economic benefits for the city of San Francisco are now expected to be much less than the $1.4 billion originally projected, and local residents who had opposed the event from the start now worry that the city could be on the hook for millions in expenses.
The technical risks inherent in the boat design came tragically to the fore in May, when Swedish team Artemis Racing's boat capsized and broke apart, trapping Simpson underneath. Investigations into the accident are not yet complete, but the incident - which followed a non-fatal wreck of an Oracle boat last fall - prompted an urgent review of boat design and safety protocols.
The result was a package of 37 new safety rules and equipment modifications, including several affecting the design of wing-like device attached to the bottom of the boat rudders known as a rudder elevator. Luna Rossa and Emirates Team New Zealand have refused to agree to some of the rudder elevator changes and maintain that race director Iain Murray does not have the authority to alter such rules.
They argue that the modification gives an unfair advantage to Oracle.
The rhetoric has grown heated in recent days. Luna Rossa went so far this week as to say Murray, an Australian sailor widely respected in the sport, enacted the changes deliberately to make its boat illegal, an accusation he sharply rejected on a conference call with reporters.
"The claims that they have been done to suit a team are farcical," Murray said. "These boats not only have to steer like a normal boat, they have to fly like an airplane."
Murray warned that if the jury rules against his measures, he will have to tell the Coast Guard that the races are no longer safe - an action that could scuttle the event altogether.
Meanwhile, Artemis, which is still working to get its second boat ready and will join the competition later in the summer, said Friday that it would be forced out of the competition if the rule changes were rolled back.
On top of all that, the new rules include lower wind speed limits, which could create another kind of havoc. A scheduled time trial on Friday was called off because of high winds.
Despite all the troubles, an opening day event on Thursday suggested that the Cup could still be plenty of fun for San Francisco residents and tourists. Visitors to one of the two main America's Cup venues along the city's waterfront strolled through a exhibit explaining the science behind the boats, sipped California wine while watching an airshow and gawked at the line-up of VIP megayachts.
Organizers said 30,000 people turned out for the opening day ceremonies. The schedule calls for round-robin races between Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa to continue through July, with the winner taking a spot in the Louis Vuitton Cup finals and the loser than facing off against Artemis Racing for the second spot in the finals.
The winner would then challenge Oracle for the America's Cup, beginning September 7.
Stephen Barclay, head of Ellison's America's Cup Event Authority, shrugged off concerns that the event had yet to capture the imagination of local residents and sports fans.
"The interest builds. We start off now and it builds and builds and builds until we get to the crescendo of the Americas Cup match," Barclay said.

The Maine Charter School Commission announced Thursday it had received nine charter school proposals by the Wednesday deadline, including the earliest outspoken organization, the Portland-based Baxter Academy for Technology and Science.
Baxter Academy wasn't the only proposal coming from within striking distance of Maine's largest city, however. Fiddlehead Arts & Science Center in Gray also filed its intent to shift from a largely after-school and summertime enrichment program to a full-fledged kindergarten-through-fifth grade charter school, with the potential for middle school grades to be added on in future years.
The Fiddlehead charter school aims to open in September for the 2012-13 school year with 30 students, a population organization leaders hope will double by its fifth year of operation and rise to 140 students by year 10.
On its letter of intent, Fiddlehead officials don't list Portland as a target population from which they anticipate drawing students. The letter does list New Gloucester, Gray, Casco, Windham, Poland, Minot, Auburn, Pownal, North Yarmouth and Cumberland.
The center is holding a silent and live auction Saturday at its 25 Shaker Road location as a fundraiser.
Other charter school applications, which only recently became legal in Maine thanks to a change in state law, came in from the following organizations, some expected and some not:
- Cornville Regional Charter School
- Maine Academy of Natural Sciences at the Goodwill-Hinckley School in Fairfield
- Maine Virtual Academy (online)
- Monson Academy
- John Jenkins Leadership School (online)
- Connections Academy (online)
- Rural Aspirations Project in Monroe
James Banks Sr., the Maine Charter School Commission issued this statement about the nine-school field of applicants:
This is an auspicious start to the process. It shows strong interest in the role that charter schools can play in Maine's educational future. Commission members and I look forward to reviewing these applications thoroughly, but also as quickly as possible so that those that are qualified and ready can open this fall.
If the commission gives the thumbs up to all nine, which is no sure thing, the seven-member panel will have only one more golden ticket to hand out over the next nine years. According to the relatively new charter school law, the commission was formed to review and authorize 10 public charter school proposals in the program's first 10 years.
To the degree that there are slots still available, the commission plans to request a second wave of charter school proposals in August for fall 2013 openings.

Post subject: The heart of the home: The Kitchen
If this topic has been brought up before, I can't find it, and I've dug around in pages of threads for the past 20 minutes.
But, since this web site is about FOOD, it
to cooked
, and usually, that's the kitchen.
So, I'll start this off.
1) What does your
kitchen look like? How many "toys" do you have that make your friends roll their eyes?
2) What is your
kitchen? No expenses spared, no reality to be questioned....if you had $100,000 or more to have the kitchen of your dreams, what would it look like?
1) I bought my tiny cottage in Michigan based on two things: a) Grandfather Maple in the back yard, a 110 year old Silver maple that had my heart the minute I saw him....and the kitchen! My home is only 800 square feet, total, and I think the kitchen takes up 1/3 of that square footage!
It's dimensions are 19' long by 11' wide, with a wonderous pantry at one of the ends, which is 11' wide by 6' deep. On one of the long ends is the pantry, so it's really the kitchen, extended, with a wall and door separating it from the rest of the space, and the other end has three doors opening off of it: the breezeway door, which is how you enter the cottage; the
bathroom door??!!
which is directly ahead of the main door (poor Feng shui but really handy when you're cooking!), and then, the doorway into the remaining bits of the cottage, at the other long end.
What I adore so much about the kitchen are so many things: It escaped Rehab Hell by default, meaning that the previous owners could care less about remodeling. It has knotty pine cabinets, with those cool, kitchy details of the 1920's-1950's: decorative dado's around the windows; plant shelves as half moons around the sink; swirls and loops around the sink bottom, etc. The counter top is pure 1950's linoneum, with a grey swirl pattern that is now matte finish because it's been scrubbed so much. Chrome metal strips surround the countertops, the edges all beaten and dented (love it!) from decades of use.
Because the panty is so huge, I have my frig, freezer and washer and drier in there, plus three floor to ceiling shelf units for all my food. I also threw the microwave in there, so I didn't have to look at it's moderness.
Because the kitchen is so authentically vintage, it goes with all the wonderous things that I got from my grandmother: her 1920 double-wide "Hoosier" cabinet; a vintage 1960's stove; along the cornice on the ceiling, I have my rolling pin collection mounted, totaling 9 pins, from my own Grandmother's one-piece pin that she used at the Black Bear Hotel and her farm, to Depression glass pins in cobalt blue and clear glass. Vintage curtains line the three windows, with smiling tea pots on them.
My windows in the kitchen all face East: the one on the breezeway door, the one over the sink, and the one, near the pantry, which is a 6' by 4' area that I made into my Home office and has my printer and computer. In that niche, I have floor to ceiling bookshelves that hold part of my 600 + cookbook collection. Actually, excepting a bed, this kitchen could hold me forever! It has the bathroom, the windows, the main door, my computer, all the food, and a TV and stereo....what more would I need??!!
I've collected vintage dinnerware and stuff my entire life, and what I didn't receive from my Gran's estate, I bought. So, I mix my dough with her 1940's Sunbeam mixer; I use her bowls, Jadite measureing cups, pastry cutter that barely has a scrap of green paint on it's handle, etc. Where I can't see them, stored in cabinets, are all my "modern convienences: the Cuisinart; the blender, mini chopper, wok, fondue pots...that type of stuff. And there are drawers and cabinets and shelves galore! I have an old 1940's red and white enamel topped table with extentions and drawers, that is baking central. It stands next to the stove, in a peculiar spot that was empty, when I bought the house...I'm clueless as to
stood in that 5' by 3' spot.
I only use wooden utensils and actually have a ladle that my Grandfather carved that's over 90 years old and is so innovative that when I showed it to a wood carver, he asked if he could copy the idea! I've collected wooden utensils for decades, use them daily, so they have the most beautiful patina and feel; sometimes, I just love to rub them against my face. They are stored in stone crocks, three of them, that vary with their story. The largest crock, I actually found in an alley while landscaping; someone had a dead plant in it and couldn't be bothered to dump out the plant, so they dumped the entire thing! Then, I have a salt-glazed crock with a kitty on it that I bought in Williamsburg when I was 16 years old, and a wee crock, shaped like a cat, that holds the small wooden utensils.
I store my sundries in old, vintage Ball glass jars that my Gran used for canning, the type with zinc tops. My most cherished ones are the ones that still hold her handwriting on top: "Mustard Beans", with the dates " '52, '56, and '60" written and crossed off with each year. I have rag rugs on the floor, three of them, in soft greens and yellows. And my windows all face part of my 1/2 acre, with the Kitchen Garden right outside of the door and my 13 bird feeders beyond that. So, I can be washing dishes or on the computer, and I can look outside to see raccoons, possums, foxes, woodpeckers, squirrels, finches and thrushes 20 feet from my eyes.
I'm a sucker for any small contrivence: strawberry hullers; micro graters no bigger than an egg; mini-whisks; if it's been sold, I probably own it.
I can spend 16 hours in this kitchen, and go to bed with a happy heart. And believe me, at Christmas...I
spent many, many 16 hour days baking away.
What I love so much about my kitchen is that it marries the past and the present. There's NO granite counter tops, cultured marble, no whistles and glitz, but it performs as well as any of those posh kitchens, maybe even better. I love when friends from the city come to visit me and when they enter the cottage, through the kitchen, they exclaim, "Geez! This looks like my Grandparents kitchen!" I guess that's what I always wanted: to be living with my Grandparents, again. And it's nice to know that I achieved it.
2) Dream kitchen: I house-sit extensively for all my wealthy clients, so in the course of living in their homes, I get to use Viking and 5-Star ranges; Zero King refrigerators that retail at $5000; and all the chrome, marble and granite you can quarry.
I'm not impressed. They come off as cold and impersonal; even when my clients move out and new ones come in, the kitchen never changes...only the back of the walls change color. They remind me too much of Doctor's offices for Food; there's no history, there's no personality; there's no warm. Technically correct, they lack heart.
So, that said, if I was to have a "Dream Kitchen", I'd keep mine,
as it is....but, I'd break through the wall with the windows and extend the kitchen
towards the bird feeders, by 10 feet. This would allow me to have an "eat-in" kitchen, complete with cozy fire place and seating area, and a BIG wooden table to eat at: all within viewing range. But, since my architect told me that it's a waste of money for me to put ANY money into my cottage (too old, not worth it, a "tear-down" after I sell it), I'm not going to put the $50,000 worth of add-on that would really complete my dream. So, I'll use the living room/dining room, adjacent to the kitchen for what it's meant to be used for, and just dream a little dream of what could be.
Heart of the Home: what's yours?
Here's a close-up of some of my Gran's things:

What a great topic!! I have a passion for decorating so this is right up my alley.
I live in the house my husband grew up in. The house is between 60 and 80 years old. When we first moved in I had trouble convincing my husband that we need to do work because, of course, it had been his parent's house. Over the years we have renovated and about 12 years ago put a 2 story addition on the back. When we did that we opened up our kitchen to the family room, separting the 2 rooms with a peninsula. We didn't have enough money at the time to completely redo the kitchen so we were stuck with horrible dark brown imitation wood grain laminate cabinets and gross brown kitchen flooring (which didn't show the dirt!) However, the layout of the kitchen was good and it is a nice efficient kitchen.
Two years ago my brother-in-law, the handyman, didn't have any projects lined up for a month or so, so he offered to come in and renovate our kitchen. Our budget was still tight so what we did was have him build new cabinet doors for all the cabinets & we painted the cabinets themselves with white melamine paint. The doors are beadboard set into a frame. I had him put beadboard 3/4 of the way up the walls, and painted it white. He also built us a beautiful kitchen island based on a photo I had seen in a magazine and we topped it with an incredible real butcher block counter that used to be in the local manor. For our countertops we purchased dark green granite tiles & he cut them & laid them with a maple wood trim around the outside. (Because they are tiles and not a slab they were very reasonable...cheaper than laminate...you just need someone to install them that knows what they are doing!)
So now my dream kitchen is almost a reality. My kitchen is all white, new white floors and the walls above the beadboard are pale yellow. It's nice and bright and looks much bigger than it ever did before. We just love it. We already had a nice gas stove but we had to buy a new refrigerator. The one we bought is stainless steel with the freezer in a drawer on the bottom that we got from Sears (floor model). I would never buy any other kind...the freezer on the bottom is fabulous, escpecially because it is a drawer. The kitchen is just comfortable for cooking...you never need to walk too far. I have open shelves under part of my island that houses my bowls...stainless and pottery. I love pottery (I had dabbled with it myself) and love to have everything out & accesible.
The appliances/gadgets that I have & couldn't live without
1) my Ktichenaid mixer
2) my Cusinart (must be at least 20 years old)
3) my gas stove
4) my stone mortar & pestle (a la Jamie Oliver)
My wish list? Well....if I had just a little more space I would like
1) a 6-burner commercial gas range
2) a second oven....one oven is just too limiting
and...oh yes....if my house was laid out differently I would love a butler's pantry between the kitchen and the dining room: a place to store all those serving dishes.
But if I moved out of this house & had to redo another kitchen? it would look very similiar to the one I have. The whitness is so uplifting & the beadboard fits with the character of an older home.
Diary_Queen: I love the look of yours. It looks very comfy. I always say that the nicest complement anyone can make when they come to my house is that is it comfortable, and they just want to sit down & stay awhile!

Isn't that the truth, JustMe! Because I've taught/dealt with Feng Shui for over 15 years, (when every book was directly translated from Chinese), I'm very sensitive to Placement and Energy. Like your home, I almost have to kick my friends out (myself included), because it's as if you walked 'in' with a suitcase of troubles and tension, and just left it outside the door.
My nicest compliment came from my dear friend, Missie's husband, a social malcontent, who loves being 'crude and rude', to keep people at bay. I was gone, and they were cat/house-sitting; when I returned, Steve had to sit down and "talk" to me about the kitchen!
Where did I get the rolling pins? What were their significance? WHAT in the world was the large cabinet (Hoosier)???!!! This "Tough Guy" sat and chatted with me about the kitchen for over an HOUR! Apparently, unbeknownst to ALL of his friends, Steve is a Closet Foodie, and when home or unemployed, he watches the Food Network 16-18 hours a stretch: in his Lazy Boy lounger, with cans of Budweiser at hand. I just wonder, if his background hadn't of beat him down, just how wonderful of a chef, etc. he'd have been. And yes! I've tried to instill confidence in him and encourage him, to no avail. He's tied to the stone around his neck, by choice.
JustMe: Don't you just love talking about kitchens and looking at them? I'm so happy, that like me, you've achieved your almost Dream Kitchen, in this life! I like your color scheme, too. Mine is plain white, not through lack of desire to paint, but I've got so much going on in there, that I find the white background almost like a museum. When the trees leaf out, it can be quite dark, despite the windows, so the white also keeps it bright. My only sadness is not being able to do anything to the cottage, but, it keeps the money in my bank account. When I bought it, I had an architect friend give it a "fine toothed comb" inspection, and he warned me that there was NOTHING worth saving in the place. It has no basement; the wiring is just barely there; etc, etc. He recommended buying it, living in it and selling it for property when I'm done with it. Since the cottage cost me $34,000 with a half acre of land less than 7 years ago, I figure that I can live in peace here, and when life tells me to move, I can do so without regret...almost.
In the posh resort community that I live in, all the small summer cottages are being destroyed, so that Yuppie Trophy Summer Homes can be built. Wee 3-month living cottages used to line the lake shore; now, they are almost extinct and $2 million dollar "cottages" are pushed to their property lines.
I guess I just like living simply.
I opened up a Photobucket account, so I'll post more photos of the kitchen, et al, in the future.

I gave up on Feng Shui before I even started because it seems as though everything I have is placed completely wrong! I love water: I have a pond in my garden, a water fountain going in my office all day, but I am fire & have to watch that the water doesn't "drown" me out. My house placement is all wrong...but it is funny because now whenever I go to hang a mirror I am so influenced by the idea that it cannot face a doorway. I should really have a go at it again.
Such a shame that you cannot do what you want to your cottage and I know exactly what you mean about those trophy homes and it is heartbreaking. I bet none of them have the same spirit as your place does.
My kitchen is truly the heart of my home. Originally I had bought 2 stools to sit at my counter but every time people come over for dinner they all stand around the island or the peninsula so I ended up getting 2 more. People will sit either on the other side of the peninsula (in the eating area) or on the other side of the island as I cook. My only stipulation is that they have to be on the other side....if you come onto my side you better be prepared to help me!
The other thing we did when we renovated the kitchen was to put in a double sink that has one side that is about 1.5 times the size of a normal sink, but the other one is a normal size. I got this idea for Martha Stewart (who?) who said she always likes a sink large enough to be able to soak pans, etc. I didn't want one that had a tiny half sink & a larger sink. The larger side is still not quite large enough for some of my roasting pans, but a small cookie sheet fits...a great investment.
***Sigh*** I could keep going on this topic. I always tell people that I am a true Taurus: I like my physical surroundings to be pleasing to me...it makes me a much happier person. I guess that's why I like to decorate and why I love my garden so much....but that is another topic.
I don't think we're in the food forum any more!

Right now I have a sad little kitchen for my standards but that will all change someday.
I want marble counter tops, a large square island with built in bookshelves on two sides, a large iron pot rack and a cooktop. A deep sink in front of a large arched window that has a large sprayer for quickly rinsing dishes, a built in industrial water filter and a hot shot faucet. A stainless steel Sub Zero. Some type of shelving to display all of my serveware, maybe with a small area to store a few bottles of wine. A walk in pantry with a place to store my lovely linens. Oh yes, I have many plans for my kitchen.
As far as things I have that I love;
Kitchen Aid mixer, Wusthof knives, GIANT mortar and pestle, strawberry huller, olive pitter, silpat, small squeeze bottles, tomato shaped Le Creuset, All Clad grill pan, Cuisinart food processor and microplane grater.

Such a shame that you cannot do what you want to your cottage and I know exactly what you mean about those trophy homes and it is heartbreaking. I bet none of them have the same spirit as your place does.
Well, it is a shame and it isn't a shame, JustMe. As it is, by NOT being able to renovate my home, it keeps me from spending all the money that a normal person would. New windows, additions, upgrades...every time you turn around, even if it's a project you want, $1000's of dollars fall out of your pockets. I know. I see it daily with my client. And you're right again about the Trophy homes having no spirit; usually within a year of completion, these homes are "instantly" age-y: cutesy plaques on the wall extolling "Mom's Cookin'" (when mom is too busy at the golf course); 'hand-woven' rugs (made by some child in India); and the usual high-grade pans that only see activity when the maid cleans them weekly. So many of the clients I have only use their kitchens to pop microwave popcorn or make coffee that they could have a Dorm Room kitchen and never blink an eye. Only problem is, you can't impress the neighbors with a hot plate!
That's where I got my distaste for all the posh additions like granite counter tops and 6 burner stoves. ALL of the client kitchens have them, and they go unused. They are just there for looks and when the house sells, even the new client doesn't use them. I have one customer who has lived in her designer home and kitchen for 8 years now, and she's NEVER used the stove or oven!
I house-sit for her about 4 months out of the year and I even have to bring my own pans to her house: she doesn't own a single sauce pan! What the heck is
all about? Everything is microwave or take-out.

Dairy_Queen -- I love your kitchen and the photo of the Hossier cabinet.
Here's a couple photos of my kitchen. It is an original 1947 kitchen and home, small, 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 1500 sq. ft. bungalow typical of the post-WWII generation.
The first is my O'Keeffe & Merritt stove (I think it is a 1955 model):
This is my original porcelin sink -- note I need to get different faucet handles.
These photos were taken a year ago. Now I've got hooks all around the perimeter under the cabinets to hang pots and utensiles.

That's my view exactly. Make the kitchen fit the home. If the home was built in 1900, make the kitchen match. If it's a 1960s home, keep the linoleum.

Oh, now you lost me. I hope no one really believes any of this
. The same could be written about any sign. I was born on
26 December
and those things you wrote fit me perfectly.

Sarape: love that stove. Is that 2 ovens????
I would actually really like a 6 burner stove because 4 burners are never enough!
As for the astrology stuff....nope...don't really believe it. I mean how can everyone born in the same month have the same characteristics. Or if you're Chinese....how can all the people born in the same year have the same sign? (I'm a rooster). Having said that, I fit the taurean profile to a t! I love the pleasures of life....and yes, I am stubborn as a bull, but that's just 'cause I'm always right!
JUST KIDDING!!! I don't want all these people to think I'm bull-headed!
I have lost the photos of my kitchen (computer crashed)...I will take some more as soon as I can get it clean enough!

The left side is a broiler and the right is the oven. The door below the broiler is a "Bread Warmer" drawer. The door below the oven can serve as a 2nd broiler since the oven gas burner is in the roof of that opening.
On top there are 4 standard burners and in the center lies a stainless-steel plate with an oval burner underneath. I think
O'Keefe & Merritt
was very popular during the '40s and '50s. The ones that are fully restored cost $4000 or more. My was not restored, but it is in good condition.

Post subject: kitchen dreaming
Erin Darlin....re Le Creuset: you say tomato, and I say heart!....aren't those colourful 'n heavy-as-all-getout shapes just the ants' pants! photographing kitchen...a today to do thing!
When I was a child, our kitchen was as big as a camera
...I'm split on that idea of a kitchen matching/keeping the look of a home/house. Am remembering spending a few days before Christmas at a home in Huntington Beach, California. On paper, this house would I imagine seems as strange as anything...however spending time there I experienced it as something else again....rooms of great diversity that happily co-existed ~ the room I slept in was the "old stuff" room: an old baseball glove that had belonged to a dear relative; christening gowns, the same: another had beautiful Native American pieces: a modernish kitchen (my first experience of cooking in such a space! fun fun fun)...methinks some buildings don't mind at all ...that things don't match...diversity can be happy! and then there's the part of me that thinks other...that the complete look...oh yes, that goes with that goes with that ~
as for dreams? I let the kitchen angels drizzle (how olive oilish) some ideas into my soul!

Erin - you should NEVER EVER store wine in your kitchen. The heat will damage it. If you haven't got the ideal spot (cool, constant temperature) then wrap it in a blanket and put it in the bottam of your wardrobe. Keep it out of the sun. light and vibrations ( so away from the laundry appliances also). Designers still designing kitchens with wine racks over ovens need a lesson in wine appreciation.

Sarape: Your kitchen, in one word, "Serene."
I never would have thought of using that dark teal color in a kitchen but it's breathtaking...seriously!
And LOVE that you also post photos; well done, YOU! Did the stove come with your home or did you find it and add it in later? I have a secret addiction to old stoves; the older the better. As I told JustMe, I was warned against 'upping' the price of my cottage, since it will most likely be razed when I sell the property. That said, where my store 'sits' is in an area that
be altered without BIG bucks: one side
the bathroom door, so a stove couldn't get any wider or you'd need to dig a hole in the backyard to go to the bathroom! And the other side of the stove snugs up against built in cabinets. So, I'd have to rip out top and bottom cabinets to have a large 6 burner vintage stove.
I was thinking about this subject last night, and realized that I have two versions of a 'dream' kitchen. The first, is based on the reality of what I own right now; if I decided to ignore my architects suggestion and did a bump-out into the garden.
The other Dream Kitchen, is truly a dream, the kind you have if you hope all 6 numbers 'hit' on the lottery. In
kitchen, it would be located in a completely different home, anything from 1940 on down. I'd actually hire a Set Designer that specialized in movie interiors and have them design the quintessential 1920's-1940's kitchen. It would be HUGE, have a vintage frig and stove, and all the dinnerware and accessories would be authentically from that era. I'm obsessed with that time period's decor and am clueless as to "why". My Mom would always say to me, sarcastically, "You were born in the wrong century!," because I'd use my 14 year old baby-sitting money to buy antiques.
And I certainly wasn't born in that time, so it's not like I'm remembering things that I wax nogstalgic over.
Whenever I watch period movies, I stop watching the plot and focus on the kitchen, whenever they show one. The best, to date, was in Woody Allen's RADIO DAYS; I could have moved right in to that kitchen. The second best, was the Walton family's kitchen; I used to fantacize, as a small girl, that I was a Walton and that I'd be able to sit at that large trestle table.
I already own 80% of this stuff. I use vintage aprons, only have 1920's-1940's dinnerware and accessories. My only concession to Modern Times are my Calphalon pans and my Cuisinart toys. But, from the comments I receive from my friends, they adore eating at my table because they love the kitch of 'cut-crystal olive dishes, little Chef Salt and Pepper Shakers, and all my Jadeite dinnerware'.
Sarape: you've inspired me to take some more photos of my kitchen. Now, I have to wait for my 56K dial up service to download them, 20 minutes per picture!

To worship God is to give Him our love, reverence, service, and devotion. The Lord commanded Moses, "Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve" (Moses 1:15). He has also commanded, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy might, mind, and strength; and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him" (D&C 59:5). Worship not only shows our love for God and commitment to Him, it gives us strength to keep His commandments. Through worship we grow in knowledge and faithfulness. If we place any person or thing above the love of God, we worship that thing or person. This is called idolatry (see Exodus 20:3–6).
Prayer is one way to worship Heavenly Father. Alma taught his son Helaman, "Cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever" (Alma 37:36).
Another way to worship Heavenly Father is to join in fellowship with others who worship Him. The Book of Mormon reveals, "The children of God were commanded that they should gather themselves together oft, and join in fasting and mighty prayer in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God" (Alma 6:6) In more recent revelation, the Lord commanded: "That thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day; for verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High" (D&C 59:9–10).
Participation in priesthood ordinances is also part of worship. As we reverently partake of the sacrament and attend the temple, we remember and worship our Heavenly Father and express our gratitude for His Son, Jesus Christ.
In addition to worshipping outwardly, we should have a worshipful attitude wherever we go and in everything we do. Alma taught this principle to a group of people who had been kept from entering their place of worship. He helped them see that true worship is not limited to one day of the week (see Alma 32:11). Speaking to the same group of people, Alma's companion Amulek encouraged them to "worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth" (Alma 34:38).

The day my husband went back to work and left me and our bundle of joy alone for a full day, Whitney generously took the day off of work to show me the ropes of maternity leave. I accomplished three things under her tutelage: taking a walk, taking a nap, and buying one thing at the grocery store, just to prove that I could handle it.
The challenge here is to take your baby to the grocery store for the first time as simply a practice run, when you're not desperate for a kitchen's worth of food. Use a shopping cart, but just buy a treat for yourself. That way, when you actually have to go grocery shopping, you'll know you can do it.
This is your fifth rookie mom challenge.
Here are three ways to approach the shopping cart with a baby:
- Wear your baby in a front carrier and push the cart
- Put the infant carseat inside the cart.
- Since this challenge involves purchasing only one thing, put the one thing in the bottom of your stroller and skip that thing for another day.
Another handy grocery shopping tip is to ask them to bag all your cold stuff together in plastic and the rest in paper bags so if you need to prioritize what comes in the house and what stays in the car, you can do so easily.
Already conquered this one? Make sure you've done the first four challenges, too.
Not such a rookie anymore? Tell us about your first supermarket challenge or make a no-sew shopping cart cover. Which approach did you take?
Did you complete this challenge? Love it or hate it, tell us how it went:
- Comment below.
- Share a picture with us on Facebook.
- Name your destination on Twitter or Instagram and use hashtag #rookiemoms.
- Or, link in the comments to your own blog post about this challenge.

For best printing results turn on "Print background colors and images" in your browser settings.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Saab 9-5 was re-engineered for the 2002 model year with structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. All 2002 and later 9-5 models manufactured after November 2001 also include airbag modifications to further improve occupant protection (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
The tested car was manufactured after the modifications had been made.
The frontal offset crash test ratings also apply to the station wagon version of the 9-5, known as the SportCombi, beginning with 2002 and later models manufactured after November 2001.
The 9-5 was modestly restyled for the 2006 model year.
Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and left leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia and right knee indicate that injuries to the lower leg and knee would be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail/ B-pillar hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar.
How this test is conducted
The Saab 9-5 was introduced in the 1999 model year. Although engineering changes were made to improve frontal crashworthiness beginning with 2002 models built after November 2001, these changes were not expected to affect side-impact performance.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the pillar behind the rear passenger door and the window glass and window sill of the rear door. The pillar is required by federal standard to provide some protection for occupants' heads. The impacts with the window glass and sill did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.

I'm not sure how I found Heather of "Heather Eats Almond Butter"… but I did… the same day I found her I discovered I had 999 days until I turn 50 (now, 944 days). Kismet? I loooooove almond butter… love love… And, she was living in a YURT! A yurt?? I love yurts and no one I talk to ever knows what I'm talking about. I dream of living in the mountains in a yurt… ahhhhh… anyhoo.. Through her blog I found all sorts of twenty somethings documenting their meals everyday… and some super scrumptious healthy food ideas along the way! Some I would have never thought of.. some I still can barely think of! LOL I'm not sure if this is only popular with 20 somethings or if it's a fluke I can't find any 40 somethings blogging about what they eat.. either way.. (shrug) I'm here now… and I love reading the 20 something's blogs..
One I found is Holly aka "The Healthy Everythingtarian" via HEAB (Heather Eats Almond Butter)… another twenty something blogging about her journey of healthy eating… well she had a great (odd) idea she got from another blogger for this scrumptious concoction… I messed with it a bit but not much..
Hidden Valley Protein Salad…
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup garbanzo beans
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup tomato
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 1 tsp (or to taste) of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (the secret ingredient!)
- and about 2 oz of either salmon or chicken…
Drum roll… a whopping 34 grams of protein and a bit over 300 calories.
It is sooooo good! And was accompanied by no "energy bumps"
Okay. Well now. That wasn't so hard. Post #1 is now in the books! Continue reading

Water Quality
Having a clean and properly sanitized and balanced pool is important for two reasons: swimmer comfort and safety. But it can also dramatically extend the life of the pool and spa, materials and equipment. Wind, rain, sun and even the swimmers themselves affect water quality. That's why pool owners are choosing salt chlorination and chemistry automation to automatically sanitize and balance their pools. It gives them silky-soft, clean water with none of the negative effects of traditional chemically treated water.
Obtaining the best water quality possible and convenience no longer come at an environmental price. Our Robotic automatic pool cleaners use no more energy than a standard light bulb. They require no additional hoses or equipment and can operate even when your pool's filtration equipment is turned off. Just throw one in, turn it on and enjoy a beautifully cleaned pool. It's that easy!
Backwashing pool filters can waste thousands of gallons of water every season. Hayward's large-capacity cartridge filters save up to 92% of the backwash water used with traditional filters — as much as 2,500 gallons a year, savings up to 80% compared to gas heat.
Pool pumps are often the second or third largest energy consumer, after a home's air conditioner. Automating a variable- or two-speed pump can save up to 75% on operating costs – as much as $1,200 a season.
Hayward also offers a variety of environmentally-responsible heating solutions that allow you to extend the swimming season and immerse yourself in the perfect water temperature every time.

The rain gardens provide stormwater treatment to protect creeks downstream from urban runoff while making the streetscape more attractive. The City also made pedestrian and bicycle safety Improvements as part of this project.
The rain gardens project was possible because 152nd Ave NE had more pavement than is needed for transportation demands. For that reason there was no need to acquire private property.
The rain gardens may be removed as redevelopment occurs in this neighborhood and streets are redesigned in the future. The environmental benefits provided by the rain gardens will be provided by regional stormwater vaults that will be constructed over the next 20 years. The first of three regional vaults, the South Detention Vault, is currently under construction and will be complete in 2015. The second, the Station Infiltration Vault, is expected to be complete by 2017.
