Product DescriptionBOOK DESCRIPTION The Arians in "Kill the Messenger: Gemini", are in a rush to build space ships so that they can leave the Earth before the return of Ra or the destruction of the Earth by human ignorance or by their warring ancestors. The Arians deceive the humans by allowing them to think that the machines they help to create are for them when in fact the space shuttles are for Arians only.The decision has already been made by the Heavenly visitors including Gemini whose mission is to save only a few. Humans cannot be allowed to leave the Earth and spread to other planets where there are any life forms. After living among humans as one of them, Gemini knows how to get the final message across in her own way with no regrets.In "Kill the Messenger: Gemini", Gemini is a woman who was born into the world for a purpose and with a mission. She does not remember why because she was hit on the head as a child and suffered amnesia. The struggle comes because with the loss of her memory, she must understand and follow the same signs as other humans who want to be saved before the end of humanity. Adding to the chaos is Lucifer her brother. His desire is to impregnate and mislead Gemini so that she will become one of his followers. He sensed her presence the day she came to Earth. If he cannot discover the reason she is here or bend her to his will, then he will kill her.The story is based on Gemini's experiences in her human body on Earth, as well as what she learns about humanity that will lead to its destruction. In every line she explores racism, human sexuality and other realities about this world. She learns the power of the flesh and the power with which Lucifer controls the world. What keeps her going is the compassion in her heart for humans and the belief that somehow, someway, she can do something for those who hope for a different existence than that which Lucifer has to offer. About the AuthorAUTHORS BIOGRAPHY Johanna Nimley lives and works in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is the first book she has written. She plans to write additional books related to "Kill the Messenger:Gemini"."Kill the Messenger: Gemini" is the work of a furtive imagination that has reached out into the universe in search of the answer to the question everyone asks, "Where did we come from?" Even though science and archeology are in a heated rush trying to answer that question, Johanna doesn't believe it will be answered in her lifetime-if ever. Meanwhile, Johanna uses her imagination to deal with the unanswered question in her own way. Also, in a world full of books and words, Johanna uses the least amount of words to convey an age old message.Johanna has been a science fiction fan since childhood. She enjoys movies and books with a science fiction theme.

Product DescriptionThe Path into Healing is a model for healing through the feminine side of the soul. The purpose of this book is to outline a process whereby a person can understand and acquaint him or herself with an aspect of our awareness often neglected in our world today. Much of the emphasis in our world is on what a person can achieve without regard to how these achievements affect the world and the people living in these achievements. The Path into Healing is an attempt to give acknowledgment to the inner qualities of living that our outer world thrusts upon us. Just think for a moment what a child does and says when he/she gets hurt. They want their mommy. Why is it that when we are hurt, we look to the feminine soul to give us strength and direction. On September 11, 2001, the first thing we did when New York City was bombed was to turn inside ourselves in prayer, for direction, and for hope beyond our external world being destroyed around us. This inward look into a world that is with us throughout our life is a womb like state of being. Inside us is an incredible source of strength and energy capable of nurturing a dying person through death, helping us rebuild what is destroyed in our external world, and transforming the most drastic event into a presence of peace. Thus is the world of the feminine spirit. About the AuthorSam has cared for the needs of the dying in palliative care for over 17 years. During that time, Sam has served as the Chair, and now, Co-Chair of the Hospice Ethics Committee at a Hospice Care Center in Northern Ohio. He has served several years as a State Continuing Education Chairperson for the Association of Professional Chaplains. For well over a decade, Sam has been an active editorial review board member and contributing writer for Healing Ministry Journal, The Journal of Terminal Oncology, and The American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care. Sam began his speaking about spiritual care over 15 years ago and continues to speak at public engagements on the local, national, and international levels. He has spoken at several college campuses and keynoted at several Hospice Conferences. His first book of four What the Dying Teach Us: Lessons on Living is a Doubleday Book Club, One Spirit, and National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization selection.

The weather for this year's show was not the best, but that didn't stop the competition from heating up. With the rain coming down the hardest during the hop, it looked like a scene from the movies, as a curtain of water impaired the vision of the hardcore Lowrider fans who showed their support despite the weather in Arizona. Armando's radical hopper did well, but fell short of a win The Lowrider hydraulic competitions have thrown all of the rules out the window, as the hydraulic competition has been revamped to focus on entertaining the crowd. The key rules all revolve around safety, as the hydraulic part has now become an invitational, allowing us to bring you only the best hydraulic exhibitionists in the sport. So the main goal is to bring the spectators the best and safest show possible. For this part of the exhibition, the hop off becomes a measuring stick, literally. All the best hoppers have to prove is to out hop one another and record their leaps via a ruler, or measuring stick which measures the heights that they achieve. There are usually three guys per class, which allows for an exciting elimination between them, giving the winner ultimate bragging rights. The car dance hydraulic competition is also setup to get our crowd more involved, as it is more of a friendly exhibition with the crowd serving as judge and jury to pick the winner.

Corporate Real Estate (CRE) executives and Facilities managers have increasingly complex roles in today's rapidly changing business environment. They are becoming an important part of the strategic planning process for not only the performance of business, but also the performance of people. In addition to managing complex real estate portfolios and enabling technical delivery in the most efficient way, CRE's and facility managers must also understand how the built environment affects end users.
Flexibility is key. Diverse populations and work styles demand a 360 degree approach to workplace management. This 360 degree approach is about bringing individual experiences to life, on-site and off, and delivering performance to the organization and individuals through every transaction.
The future of CRE and facility leadership will become one of such experience management, whereby employees are offered an à la carte workplace experience with a menu of services, locations and support. You may see this already in your knowledge workers. They typically come in for a day, three hours, or three days, and may require technology for meetings, need a place to unwind and refresh their creativity, or seek a private space for calls. Today's facility managers are positioned to ensure the effective delivery of each of these services for an optimal work experience.
Tracking, technology, and the integration of key statistics and metrics is also important. As is the ability to interface all functional teams that are involved with the core business and people services. The future is today for the next generation of facility manager.
Sodexo, the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA), Global FM, and member organizations across six continents take pause each year in the last week of June to celebrate the facility management profession the world over. This year's event takes place today, June 28, 2012, and is marked by luncheons, seminars, workshops, and a Tweet-up aimed to promote the facility management profession, but best of all it's a way to celebrate the contributions of our facility managers and tip our hat to this budding profession.
Sodexo Facilities Management Solutions and IFMA are proud to play key roles in the future vision of corporate real estate and facilities management through the development of our people, skills, and partnerships. Today, we join the IFMA for World FM Day — a virtual event on Twitter. For a longer discussion, check out the LinkedIn Workplace Experience group to engage in some thought provoking discussions with industry leaders.

Wow thanks so much a lot to consider. Your comment definitely made a large impact on my decision. Thanks so much :)
My experience has been more in publishing than in writing. I left publishing in 2009 and have been working on my writing since then. In 2011 I self-published a family memoir (http://yoursinbooks.com/book-the-cleveland-rutters), choosing that route because the book truly was directed to family and a few close friends. Even though it was highly recommended by the Midwest Book Review, the book's main audience will be my family. I used Lulu.com, and think that's going to work fine for my purposes. When it comes to the novel I'm writing, however, I want the quality and the push that can be provided by an established publisher. At least, I'm going to start with going after that. It's easy to get lost in marketing, and even though I'll need to provide marketing activity either way, I'd rather have someone else providing the direction for it. It's a way of keeping myself focused on writing the next book even as I'll need to do blog tours, etc.
You do make a good point. There are certain books with a narrow focus or limited audience that would be best self-published. This includes family histories, but may also include books on unique hobbies or the like.
Thank you so much for your insight. It seems the best way from all the advice I've gotten is definitely traditional as being a first time author putting out a novel. Thanks!!!
I love the creative control that I get with self-publishing, but simply do not have the same money or resources to market my novel as a traditional publisher. It's like to get one, you have to sacrifice the other. Sigh.
but the achievement of writing and self publishing! You can hold your head up high ans tell others "I'm a writer"
I had my first royalty payment from overseas today!
It came as a cheque and I had to physically put it in the bank, which made it feel all the more real!
My UK payments just go straight in, and that's okay, but this felt good.
I cannot believe I've got six ebooks published now.
In January I sold hundreds, so if there's anyone out there who is umming and arring over getting their own ebooks published, I'd say go-for-it. What have you got to lose?
Mine have been on Amazon for around 4 months and it's relatively easy to put them on.
Good luck
good luck keep on writing! I've only been on Amazon for a month and sold just udner 500. Not a huge amount but made me feel so good inside!
Thanks for you advice :)
I went the self-publishing route and don't regret it. Part of my reasoning was the realistic acceptance of the fact that unknown authors are unlikely to catch anyone's attention in the publishing world. More relevant was my own eagerness to get my book "out there." After spending a year writing a novel, I didn't feel like spending another year trying to get an agent or a publisher.
I now have five books, all in e-book format and three in paperback. I've made more than enough to cover my expenses, so it's all good with the chief accountant of the family. More to the point, if I hadn't self-published that first one, I doubt the other four would exist. Seeing people buy that first book gave me the confidence to go ahead and write other books. As I master the technical aspects of self-publishing, I can spend more time developing whatever writing skills I may possess.
Would I like to be published by a regular publisher? Yes ... maybe. As others have noted, you have complete control when you self-publish. This far into it, I'm not sure if I would want to yield that control over my writing to an editor. And I say that having been an editor for 20 years in an earlier life. What's the old joke? Doctors make the worst patients. I suspect the same is true of editors.

Thanks so much I'm heading over to your page now :)
I spent nearly a year pitching my MS. In June I submitted to Solstice Publishing, I am used to the many rejections and non-answers. This particular non-answer turned into a contract offer. All I can say is get thick skin and keep on keepin' on. Last weekend the cover art was submitted for my approval, oh, what a feeling. From the Ashes, my first Novel will be coming soon from Solstice publishing.

Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 2,500-9,999 individuals. This equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals. The species is rare and local throughout its range. |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | It inhabits dense undergrowth in humid elfin forest near and just below the timberline, and shows a marked preference for extensive thickets of Chusquea bamboo (Ridgely and Tudor 1989). All records are at elevations of 2,500-3,500 m, but mostly above 2,800 m (Parker et al. 1996, Schulenberg et al. 2007). Birds tend to forage in pairs, perch-gleaning berries and insects in the undergrowth and on the ground (Ridgely and Tudor 1989, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990). It occasionally associates with lower-storey, mixed-species flocks (Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | Timberline habitats in the Andes have been diminishing since the arrival of humans thousands of years ago, primarily through the use of fire (Kessler and Herzog 1998). During the colonial period, sustainable land-use systems established by Pre-Columbian cultures were largely replaced with unsustainable agricultural techniques, including widespread burning (Kessler and Herzog 1998). Regular burning of páramo grassland, adjacent to elfin forest, to promote the growth of fresh shoots for livestock, has lowered the treeline by several hundred metres, and continues to destroy large areas of this species's habitat (Kessler and Herzog 1998). The human population density in large areas of the species's range is low (T. S. Schulenberg in litt. 1999), indicating that some of its populations may be relatively secure at present, however there is a marked increase in number of cattle in northern Peru (J. Fjeldså in litt. 2007). In more populated areas, small, fragmented remnants of elfin forest are additionally threatened by clearance for agriculture and grazing, with an alarmingly high rate of conversion to cash-crops in the (until relatively recently pristine) Cordillera de Colán (Barnes et al. 1995, Kessler and Herzog 1998). |
Conservation Actions: |
Conservation Actions Underway It presumably occurs in Río Abiseo National Park. Conservation Actions Proposed Survey to determine more accurately its distribution. Confirm existence in Río Abiseo National Park. Improve land-use management by segregating agricultural, grazing and forest areas (Fjeldså and Kessler 1996). Regulate the use of fire (Fjeldså and Kessler 1996). Reintroduce old, high-yielding agricultural techniques (Fjeldså and Kessler 1996). Encourage local people to take a leading role in land-use management and restoration schemes (Fjeldså and Kessler 1996). |

West Seattle schools: Decision time for Gatewood philanthropists
May 1, 2013 at 9:40 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 8 CommentsThey're among our area's youngest philanthropists – students at Gatewood Elementary who've just made some big spending decisions. Teacher Darren Radu shared the photo, and tells us about the Philanthropy Roundtable:
Roundtable Reps have met weekly over the past couple of months to determine where to allocate a $1000 Penny Harvest grant. They've come together to survey community members about local, national, and international needs, research organizations, and eventually determine the organizations most worthy of support. One of the goals is to find those organizations that create the greatest positive impact for the least amount of dollars. Students were the key drivers of decisions, and had the final say in where the money went.
This year, the Roundtable came to consensus on donating to Kaboom! (building playgrounds in urban areas), Children's Defense Fund (specifically with gun safety in mind), and Treehouse (providing foster kids with support to pursue their dreams). The kids were delighted to have this small but significant positive impact on their world!
West Seattle schools: Gatewood Elementary's 'Mad Hatter' auction
March 9, 2013 at 12:28 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 7 Comments(Photos by WSB's Patrick Sand unless otherwise credited)
Even before we got to the big room with the big party last night at The Hall at Fauntleroy – Gatewood Elementary's annual Bids for Kids auction, whose organizers invited us to stop by – the sight above brought us to a full stop: A tree hung with old-fashioned rabbit's-foot keychains, popular trinkets in the '60s-'70s. Worked perfectly with the sign, given that the theme was Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which also meant it was no surprise to spot more than a few hats in the crowd:
Also in keeping with the theme – this Cheshire Cat cake from the "dessert dash," donated by Melinda Pond:
(Photo by Doug Branch)
Student-made artworks were among the auction items – as was this teacher/student (among others) collaboration:
The card with the puppet theater explained that the Team Lake Union kindergarteners of Nancy Carney and Charlene Higuchi worked on designs and sock puppets for the theater, which was built by Carney's husband. Congratulations to everybody at Gatewood, including auction chair Ava Barnes and the numerous volunteers it takes to put on this kind of event. (Got a fundraiser coming up at YOUR school? Please let us know!)
Gatewood Elementary decks the halls as Bids for Kids nears
March 7, 2013 at 2:04 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 4 CommentsThanks to Gatewood Elementary parent Jennifer Dempsey for a peek inside the school, where the halls are decked in a theme that carries through to a big event Friday night:
The students, teachers, and staff of Gatewood Elementary are celebrating Alice in Wonderland week in preparation of the annual Bids for Kids auction this Friday. Under the fabulous direction of art teacher Rachel Moreau, each class not only created fun Alice-themed decor to decorate our hallways, but also produced an original piece of art to help raise money for our school. The students are dressing up as their favorite characters on the day that they have art class, and the class with the most participation will win a tea party.
P.S. Some of the art projects that will be auctioned off are shown in the photos.
Like these:
If you're going – the full auction catalog can be previewed online.
Election 2012: Not old enough to vote, but they hope you will
November 2, 2012 at 9:46 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 5 CommentsA message for you from Gatewood Elementary students, forwarded on their behalf by teacher Darren Radu (who also shared the photo):
We are 4th grade students of Team Mt. Si at Gatewood Elementary. Our big goal is to have a positive effect on the systems in our world. We've been studying the electoral system and watching the election. Did you know that many people who can vote forget to or choose not to? Today we did some service to encourage people who think that it's not important to vote. What happens in elections affects all of us because the people who are elected make big decisions and create our laws.
We walked from Gatewood to Morgan Junction while we were holding up our signs. We did a bunch of chants like, "when I say vote, you say 'for America'!'. We chanted: "Vote! For America!" A lot of people honked and waved at us as we marched and chanted. People were interested in what we were doing. Many people told us that they already voted and we cheered for them.
We made signs and showed people that we kids care about the election. We can't vote because we're all little, but we're encouraging our elders to vote. We think it's a shame that not everybody votes who can. If we could vote, we definitely would!
We hope that you can help us spread the word about why voting is important.
The 4th Grade Students of Team Mt. Si

Followup: SPD activates automated speed camera by Gatewood Elementary
November 1, 2012 at 2:33 pm | In Gatewood, Safety, West Seattle news | 41 CommentsBack in August, we brought you first word that Seattle Police planned to place the city's first fixed automated speed-detection cameras in school zones including Fauntleroy Way SW by Gatewood Elementary. SPD has just announced that camera and three others around the city are officially in operation as of today – read about it on SPD Blotter. There's been a speed-camera-equipped van in the area for the past four years – and it's the subject of this hot topic on the WSB Forums – but no fixed cameras till now. SPD says violations caught on the new camera will be "warnings only" until November 26th, when school reopens following the Thanksgiving break. That's when ticketing – $189 per – will kick in.
Neighborhood crimefighting: New Block Watch in the making
October 30, 2012 at 2:47 pm | In Crime, Gatewood, Safety, West Seattle news | 4 CommentsIn the neighborhood you might call south Morgan Junction or western Gatewood, neighbors are joining forces to take the most effective action in fighting crime – watching out for each other. They'll be going around the neighborhood with invitations, but here's an early alert, in case you're in that neighborhood or know someone who is:
Our townhome complex has noticed increased suspicious behavior and crime in our neighborhood, so we are coming together to start a Block Watch. Join us for a kick-off meeting, where we can all meet each other and a Seattle Police Department Crime Prevention Coordinator will help us get organized and share crime prevention tips.
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
7:00-8:30 pm
Gatewood Elementary's Lunchroom (4320 SW Myrtle St)Being a part of the Block Watch will not require much work on your end – just a commitment to watching out for each other and reporting any suspicious activity. For more information, visit seattle.gov/police/blockwatch. Hope you can join us!
Your neighbors in the townhomes off California & Myrtle
c/o Kati Davich
Kati says the area they're targeting is roughly "on California from Frontenac to Othello and on Myrtle from Fauntleroy," but others in the vicinity are welcome too. (And to everyone who has or is forming a Block Watch – be sure to get involved with the West Seattle Blockwatch Captains Network, too!)
The other Seattle-SF matchup: Gatewood Elementary won!
October 18, 2012 at 11:06 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 7 CommentsThough the Seahawks didn't quite pull it out tonight against the 49ers, in a parallel competition, their semi-surrogate – West Seattle's own Gatewood Elementary – won! We first heard last weekend about P.E. teacher Alex Beaty's $1,000 Donors Choose funding request for a sound system making it into a promotional vote tied to tonight's Thursday Night Football game, up against a San Francisco school – and tonight multiple Gatewood supporters messaged us to say Gatewood won; congratulations! (By the way, the other school gets 50 percent of its funding request, so it's not winner-take-all.)

West Seattle scene: Chamber After Hours @ Swedish Automotive
September 14, 2012 at 12:35 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | Comments OffA major function of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce is to bring local businesses together so they know about and can potentially work with each other. Toward that end, the Chamber sponsors a monthly "After Hours" event, held at a different local business every time. Thursday night, Swedish Automotive (WSB sponsor) in Gatewood hosted visiting Chamber members; in our photo, that's Chamber board chair Dave Montoure of West 5 at left, with Chamber staffer Terry Ahern and Swedish proprietor Dave Winters. Next week will mark two years since Swedish Automotive moved into its spacious, sustainability-focused location at 35th and Kenyon.

(WSB photo added Wednesday afternoon)
While FCA board members say they're fine with the Seattle Police plan to install a fixed speed-monitoring/ticketing camera in the Gatewood Elementary school zone on Fauntleroy Way, they say the current southbound warning light needs to be moved. (That point also was made in comments on our Sunday night story about the forthcoming camera.) Ahead, the letter FCA is sending to the city:

West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen car in Gatewood
August 14, 2012 at 10:12 am | In Crime, Gatewood, West Seattle news | 4 CommentsAfter a wave of stolen-bike reports, this morning, a stolen car – Ann hopes you can help find hers:
This morning we woke up to find that my 2000 green Honda CRV had been stolen. It was parked outside our home in the 3900 block of SW Austin St. [map] SPD has been notified. It has an aftermarket spare tire on the back and a yellow KEXP sticker on the upper right side of the back window and a worn Rat City Rollergirls sticker on the left side of that same window. We would appreciate everyone keeping an eye out for it.
As of this writing it's not yet on the SPD @getyourcarback Twitter feed but should eventually turn up there. (The latest tweets from that feed, by the way, are featured on the WSB Crime Watch page.)
SPD plans fixed speeding-ticket camera for Gatewood school zone
August 12, 2012 at 9:55 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | 35 CommentsWest Seattle's Gatewood Elementary is one of four schools citywide whose speed zones have been chosen by the Seattle Police Department for fixed speeder-catching cameras. That's according to an SPD report to be delivered during this Tuesday's meeting of the City Council Transportation Committee. The report explains:
The radar-based devices will issue tickets only when the school beacons are flashing (during school hours). Speed violators will be issued tickets with variable fines that will match the cost of a ticket that would otherwise be issued by an officer.
According to the report, the camera should be up and running before school starts September 5th; we'll be checking this week on installation status.
The same document (which is dated June 11th) includes a status report on the city's "speed van," which was first shown off outside Gatewood almost four years ago (WSB coverage here). The report details multiple problems that plagued the van and forced its replacement last spring, while noting the new one is much simpler for officers to use, and had double the "capture rate" once it was deployed before last school year ended.
UPDATE, 4:44 PM MONDAY: Just talked with SPD's program manager for this, who says, first of all, they have since updated the memo – the fines are not variable; they are fixed – $189. The camera will be on Fauntleroy, and will be installed sometime in the next few weeks.

Happy summer reading, Gatewood Gators!" (P.S. The Seattle Public Library summer-reading program is now under way too – with info for all ages here.)

West Seattle schools: Gatewood Elementary's Mariners surprise
May 8, 2012 at 10:02 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 9 CommentsThanks to Gatewood Elementary PTA president Nicole Sipila for the photo and report about today's big event:
Just wanted to share an exciting surprise with you about the students and staff of Gatewood Elementary today. Six Mariners came to talk to the kids about being apart of the Dream Team, D = Drug Free, R = Respect, E = Education, A = Attitude & M = Motivation. Manager Eric Wedge, John Jaso, Dustin Ackley, Kyle Seager, Jason Vargas, and Felix Hernandez all spoke about how important it is for kids to succeed in life to stay drug free, show respect for themselves and others, to stay in school and do well, to keep a positive attitude, and to be motivated to succeed.
Also, the students of Gatewood enthusiastically took Felix Hernandez's two-extra-books-a=week challenge! It was a very special and exciting day for the Gatewood community. A big Thank You to the community outreach team of the Mariners for a great surprise!
More details in an MLB.com writeup we just found on the Mariners' website.
Poetry spanning generations: Gatewood students visit The Kenney
March 26, 2012 at 12:59 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 4 CommentsThanks to Michelle Riggen-Ransom for the photo taken at The Kenney (WSB sponsor), where she helped chaperone two 3rd-grade classes from nearby Gatewood Elementary this morning as they read their poetry to residents:
The poems were great, ranging in topics from soccer, writing, nature and the elusive Seattle sun. Third-grade teacher Amy Griffin did an amazing job organizing the event – the kids were very well-behaved and The Kenney residents were all smiles during and after the performance.
After the reading, children presented hand-written, original poems to their new friends. Attached is a photo I took of some of the kids, with teacher Ms.Griffin on the left. And here's a quote from The Kenney's Activities Director Amy Seebeck that she just sent over to Ms. Griffin: "Just wanted to thank you so much for coming today. Our residents absolutely loved having the kids here. Also wanted to extend a special thanks to those who went to our memory care unit. That was so special for them. You made our day!"
Very proud of our third-graders and a big thank you to Amy Griffin for putting together this lovely event!

Cindi Barker shared the photos, and she reports, "We were planting bare root plants in a huge, just cleared area, and also filling in some gaps in previously planted areas. The weather held off until the end, it was a very productive day."

Gatewood Elementary: 'Teacher of the Year', plus 'Bids for Kids'
March 10, 2012 at 11:34 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 5 Comments(Screenshot from 3/7/12 school-board meeting video)
Gatewood Elementary visual-arts specialist Julie Trout was in the spotlight at this week's Seattle School Board meeting, honored as Teacher of the Year for the Puget Sound Educational Service District, which includes 35 districts. Here's the clip – forward to about 2 minutes in:
Julie is now a contender for state Teacher of the Year. We had hoped to catch up with her at Gatewood's "Bids for Kids" auction last night, after a fellow teacher told us she had "planned and designed all the student art projects" that were featured. We didn't cross paths, but did see her students' work, including these creations:
As is the case at most of the school galas, participants really get into the spirit. Gatewood had a Hollywood theme; Tracy Chantorn was channeling Audrey Hepburn as she handled drawing tickets:
Prime time for school auctions – which have become indispensable for raising money to supplement the basics, in an era of public-funding challenges – continues at other local schools throughout this month.
West Seattle school auctions: Gatewood 'Bids for Kids' March 9th
March 2, 2012 at 3:59 pm | In Gatewood, How to help, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | Comments OffContinuing our series of announcements for local schools' upcoming dinner/auction fundraisers – one week from tonight, it's the Gatewood Elementary PTA's "Bids for Kids" (5:30-9 pm March 9th at The Hall at Fauntleroy):
We're hoping for glamour, fun and a few "celebrity" appearances with this year's silver-screen theme. All of the money raised goes directly to support the children in our diverse community of learners. Money raised at past auctions has been used to help start new arts, music, supplemental math and science programs over the past year and to provide scholarships for after-school enrichment programs. Gatewood is an all-inclusive community and we are committed to ensuring that all of our children thrive with access to enriching activities, support, and engagement.
At Gatewood we believe that changing the world is possible – especially with the support of our community. We welcome your support and everyone is invited. Our auction website includes a description of live and silent auction items and you can bid by proxy if you cannot attend! Check it out at http://www.gatewoodauction.org/home/
Live auction items include the opportunity to be a Top Gun fighter pilot for a day with Air Combat USA, family snowshoe package, Sounders ticket packages and signed memorabilia, getaways and more!
West Seattle schools: New signs for Gatewood Elementary
February 10, 2012 at 4:32 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 2 CommentsJust received from the Gatewood Elementary PTA's 2011-2012 Board – that photo, and this explanation:
We are proud to show off our two new signs at Gatewood Elementary. They are located at the corners of Myrtle and Frontenac along Fauntleroy Way SW. This is the final piece of our Operation Imagination project that included a new big toy on the playground, construction of an amphitheater, and of course the goats, who helped us with our ivy problem. This has been many years in the making and many parents who started on the project have sense moved onto middle and high school. Big thank you to them and everybody still at Gatewood who have been so instrumental in this fabulous project. Welcome to Gatewood.
Many years indeed! Checking our archives, WSB coverage of those milestones stretches back to 2007 – including the goats' visit in 2007 and the new "big toy" in 2008.
West Seattle Crime Watch: Wood-filled trailer taken

West Seattle schools: 'Harvest' time again at Gatewood
December 13, 2011 at 1:04 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 2 CommentsThe 'crop' those Gatewood Elementary students (and others) helped "harvest" is now out in the world, supporting good work. From Gatewood teacher Darren Radu:
Once again this year, kids from all across the school worked together to bring in close to 400 pounds of pennies (and other coins) as part of the 2011 Penny Harvest. We shipped our bags of coins to the local Penny Harvest offices on Thursday.
In the New Year, we will convene a Philanthropy Roundtable, where students from each grade will research organizations working for justice in the community, country, and world, and determine which organizations are in most need of support. The Philanthropy Roundtable will then allocate grant funds from the pennies raised to these organizations. One of the Roundtable's most important criteria is 'leverage per dollar' – the Philanthropists use their research to allocate funds in a way that works most effectively to make a positive difference in the world. Last year, Gatewood students awarded Penny Harvest grants to Save the Children Japan, Southwest Boys and Girls Clubs, and the Nature Consortium. Students weighed the impact of their decisions and made the final call on where to send the money.
The attached photo shows some of our many 'harvesters' with a few of the 30-pound bags they filled.
You can find out more about the Penny Harvest here:
Much 'Gator Gratitude' goes out to our Gatewood neighbors, families, and friends, for supporting this worthwhile work!
Update: Gatewood/Upper Fauntleroy booms apparently fireworks
December 11, 2011 at 7:51 pm | In Fauntleroy, Gatewood, West Seattle news | 7 Comments7:51 PM: A few minutes ago, we heard two loud blasts that couldn't have been far from WSB HQ in Upper Fauntleroy/south Gatewood. Mindful that these are usually fireworks, we didn't call police, but someone did, as the scanner indicates two units are responding to check the area, after a call from someone in the California/Thistle area.
8:01 PM: Via Facebook, someone nearby says it was fireworks, adding that she saw the "sparkly" aftermath. No indication via the scanner that police have found anything, but we've got someone out looking around the area too.
One more sentencing today: 20 months for Gatewood arsonist
December 9, 2011 at 4:55 pm | In Crime, Gatewood, West Seattle news | Comments OffWe couldn't cover this one in person because it was at the exact same time as the "prolific burglar" sentencing this afternoon, but just got the results from the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office: The judge went with the prosecution's recommendation for John C. Siegel, who pleaded guilty to setting his wife's Gatewood home on fire last June. His sentence totals 20 months (as broken down in our earlier report on the guilty plea)
West Seattle Crime Watch: Burglary investigation; mail theft
December 8, 2011 at 4:10 pm | In Crime, Gatewood, Pigeon Point, West Seattle news | 32 CommentsTwo West Seattle Crime Watch reports this afternoon:
Thanks to everybody who shared tips about police activity in Sunrise Heights in the past hour or so, near 35th/Webster. Police were chasing suspects in at least one burglary – and that general area, as reported here previously, has been a target lately; we don't know if it was this same suspect, but there was a scanner report a while ago about a break-in attempt at 36th/Myrtle, not far away. At least one person has been arrested/detained. We'll add details as soon as we get them.

Car flips in Gatewood, nobody hurt
November 28, 2011 at 11:15 pm | In Gatewood, Safety, West Seattle news | 14 CommentsPolice are investigating the crash that left this car upside-down on SW Kenyon just west of 35th SW – right next to Swedish Automotive (WSB sponsor). Nobody hurt, they told us at the scene – the driver got herself out of the car quickly, and firefighters called as a precaution had already left by the time we got there minutes after the 911 call. A car on the other side of the street had front-end damage, and police said it appeared the flipped car had nicked that one. Traffic on 35th wasn't affected, but SW Kenyon was blocked on the west side of 35th till the car could be taken away.

According to the Financial Times, closure could be delayed past the second quarter of the year, taking it outside the original target set by the social network in its IPO documents.
Two people apparently familiar with the matter told the newspaper that the FTC has been gathering information from competitors Google and Twitter.
Stanford Law School professor Mark Lemley added: "They're going to want to take some months to investigate and understand the market and other players.
"And there may be more parties with an interest in submitting information."
David Balto, an ex-FTC policy director and now an antitrust lawyer, described Facebook's projection that they could close the deal in Q2 as "terrifically optimistic".
Facebook will not be allowed to integrate Instagram staff with mobile app development expertise or any Instagram technology until the deal is approved.

What's In The Crock? Peanut Butter.
Ok, so there's chicken in there too, and a couple of other things. But the peanut butter is definitely the most important part.
I tried this recipe the other day, and as always, a little bit went onto the toddler's plate. I wasn't hopeful, the only meat I've ever seen her consume was in the form of a chicken McNugget, and I suspect that was only because she saw her cousin eating one. And as much as I'd like to get some protein into her, I don't figure that's a great way to do it.
So when she asked for peanut butter, I thought she was actually looking for peanut butter – but the chicken was gone!
I didn't do anything to this recipe except double it, so rather than copy it all out, here's the link:
Enjoy! And thank-you Stephanie O'Dea!

I love chicken with satay sauce – so this sounds awesome! Goign to try it!

New Ad-Aware offers behavioral detection
Lavasoft has updated its popular malware and spyware detection and removal tool Ad-Aware. Rather than a dramatic redo, version 8.1 builds on the improvements made in the previous version. The new version is faster, has better removal abilities, and introduces a behavioral detection engine.
Called Genotype, Ad-Aware's heuristic-based behavioral detection engine isn't explicitly called out in the interface. However, I noticed that files that had been flagged falsely as threats in earlier versions were no longer called out as such, and the Quick Scan was able to complete in about three minutes, as opposed to 10 minutes … Read more

About Me Value Oriented
Lasts longer than the Expo "low odor" and "chiseled tip" versions which although they appear cheaper are not worth it. Also, lasts longer than other cheaper "store-brands".However, as an instructor, I go through these markers like crazy which makes the cost per marker very high.
Use frequently.
By Sunshine
from Plano, TX
Like the feel.
Terrific Tool
By Tom the Teacher
from Indianapolis
I am an adjunct college instructor. I use the markers for class lectures since I have discovered that often classrooms don't have markers in them.
Good markers.
By Math Teacher
from Stillwater, OK
I love this product. The only downside is that with a lot of daily use the ink tends to become light on board. Sometimes if I give it a "rest" the ink will flow again and I am able to get some more use out of it. As a teacher this can become a nuisance during class.
Expo Dry Erase Review

there is nothing much better on the market - but these markers are very expensive for the hours of use provided.

Cultural Fusion - Art as Philosophy, asks Google, "Are you talking to us?"
Recently when speaking with Washington decision makers, Google's statements (unintentionally) framed the relevance of "Cultural Fusion - art as philosophy" that will be moving forward with "Hotel Infinity phase1" (i will post an update on this in the forum for comment) to officially launch on the UNInternational Day of Peace Sept. 21, 2007. This will premier the first step(s) in the artwork to benefit Foot Steps for Life, the start of my quest to automate global social responsibility as a CRM Strategy. When Eric Schmidt talks, people listen and what he's saying needs to get your attention. Anyone who knows the value of art in society and everyone who doubts this to be true needs to pay attention.

Police: Neighbors' dispute leads to fatal shooting
A dispute between neighbors turned deadly Friday when one man shot and killed another on South Amite Drive near North Stevendale Road.
Family and friends of Rannell Allen Sr., 35, 16667 S. Amite Drive, Baton Rouge, said he was gunned down by a neighbor just before 6:30 p.m. in front of his 4-year-old daughter.
Police believe the neighbor, Troy Mullen, 41, 16726 S. Amite Drive, Baton Rouge, was involved in the shooting but have not determined whether it was in self defense, police spokesman Cpl. Tommy Stubbs said.
Investigators have been given conflicting stories about the shooting and what led up to it, he said.
Police arrested Mullen late Friday and booked him into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a count of felon in possession of a firearm, but he was released after he posted bail the following day.
"In these types of investigations, we have to be perfect," Stubbs said. "There's no room for error."
LaKeisha Allen, Rannell Allen's niece, said Monday she witnessed the incident, which occurred while she was sitting outside visiting with her family and friends.
She said the shooting followed an argument Allen's girlfriend, Tanisha Jones, had with Mullen's girlfriend.
Mullen's girlfriend was upset with Jones for yelling at her child, who was playing in the street when Jones almost ran him over while backing out of her driveway, Allen said.
Less than an hour after Jones and the woman exchanged words, Jones pulled up to her house from running an errand and found Mullen sitting on the back of his pickup truck across the street holding a sawed-off shotgun, Allen said.
Mullen walked across the street to Rannell Allen's house with the gun and pointed it at several people, including Jones, before shooting Rannell Allen in the chest, Allen said. Rannell Allen was reaching for his own gun when he was shot and killed, she said.
Mullen kicked Rannell Allen, took his weapon and then jumped into the bed of his pickup truck driven by his girlfriend, Allen said.
Mullen pointed the shotgun at bystanders as he was driven from his neighborhood, Allen said.
"This killing was senseless," Allen said. "It did not have to happen."
Jones, who is pregnant with her and Rannell Allen's second child, said the shooter and his family moved into the house across the street from them about two weeks ago and that they didn't know each other.
She said her boyfriend of seven years is "a nice man, who wouldn't bother anyone." He worked for a local landscaping company and enjoyed spending time with his family, Jones said.
Shaintaril Wilson, a friend of Rannell Allen's, said his family and friends are upset and scared that Mullen isn't behind bars.
"We are afraid," she said.
Anyone with information about this incident can contact police at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP or (225) 344-7867.

Elizabeth Esty has already raised nearly three times more money than her opponent, but Andrew Roraback says he is working hard to come up with the funds he needs to win the 5th Congressional District race in November.
"This election is not going to be bought," said Roraback. "It will be earned."
Maybe so, but most people expect the general election race to be expensive. Esty, a Cheshire Democrat, and Roraback, a Republican from Goshen, spent a combined $1.6 million to compete in their respective primaries and must continue to raise big money until Election Day.

Location: Biological Control of Pests Research Unit
Technical Abstract: Charcoal rot disease, which causes significant losses in crops grown in hot, relatively dry areas, is caused by the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina. M. phaseolina produces a phytotoxin believed to play a role in helping establish infections. Siddiqui et al. [Experentia 35, 1222 (1979)] purified and partially characterized a phytotoxin from cultures of M. phaseolina. The phytotoxin was named phaseolinone, and assigned the structure of an epoxidized derivative of phomenone, making it a member of an extensive family of phytotoxic eremophilane sesquiterpenoids. The phytotoxin produced by cultures of M. phaseolina isolated from soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] with charcoal rot disease in Mississippi has been purified in a manner similar to that of Siddiqui et al., 1979. However, the phytotoxic activity in the extracts was shown by electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry and other spectroscopic methods to be (-)-botryodiplodin. No phaseolinone was found. (-)-Botryodiplodin is a ribose-analog mycotoxin isolated previously from cultures of Botryodiplodia theobromae, a fungus which causes rot in tropical fruits, and various other fungi, including Penicillium roqueforti, but not previously from M. phaseolina. (-)-Botryodiplodin exhibits properties in solution, including the presence of anomeric forms and the generation of oligomeric impurities on standing, which make structure determination by spectroscopic methods unusually difficult. However, the properties of (-)-botryodiplodin are a better match for the properties reported by Siddiqui et al. for the phytotoxin from M. phaseolina, than are the properties expected from a substance with the structure phaseolinone, notably the ability to react with Somogyi's reagent for reducing sugars.

Project Name: Warsaw Family Apartment Location: Warsaw, Poland Firm: Widawscy Studio Architektury Square Feet: 970 |
But first, the layout needed tending to. The architects merge dliving functions into a single loft-like space: Cooking, dining, socializing, work, and play commingle in the brightly lit public half.The private half is given over to the master suite and children's bedroom and bath, along with numerous closets. A small entry hall terminates in a mirrored wall that bounces daylight throughout the compact apartment.
The envelope is predominantly white walls and red oak flooring. Color is introduced gently at the entry via dove-gray porcelain floor tiles,which reappear to demarcate the kitchen. Bolder hues turn up in small doses: The lime green of a pair of stools in the foyer is echoed in the two cabinets above the kitchen sink, the living area's rug, and the wall tile in the kids' bathroom. Pattern emerges through wallcovering selections: a swath of exuberant stripes in the living area, a convoy of toy trucks in the children's bedroom, a black-and-white cityscape in their bathroom, and soothing damask in the master bedroom. "It has a glamorous vintage style," Katarzyna Widawscy says of the latter. The entryway's graphic wallpaper pleases everyone: it has the subtle color palette Widawscy Studio likes, while its words are helping the clients' children learn English.
