My cleaning lady just informed me that the Visitor Parking Passes for 1D expire on March 31 of this year. I know this was part of a pilot program, so I don't know if it got the green light for extension.
Has anyone heard about the status of this?
I've also emailed Damon Harvey at DDOT in search of answers.

Just received an email from DDOT:
Good afternoon, the passes began mailing this week. The existing passes are valid through Friday, April 15th.
Friday, March 11, 2011
Media Contact: John Lisle at (202) 671-2004
DDOT Mailing New Visitor Parking Passes
All Eligible Households Will Receive One Pass
(Washington, D.C.) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin mailing new 2011 visitor parking passes in the coming days to eligible households. The passes are intended to eliminate the inconvenience to residents caused by having to obtain a new visitor parking permit from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) each time a guest is expected. Instead, one visitor parking pass is mailed to every household on a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zoned block.
The 2011 passes are red and white and one pass per household will be mailed to District residents on:
* All Residential Permit Parking (RPP) blocks in Ward 3
* All RPP blocks in Ward 4
* All RPP blocks in ANC 1D (Mount Pleasant)
* All RPP blocks in ANCs 6B and 6D within the Ballpark District in Ward 6. These blocks are bounded by:
-- North: Pennsylvania Avenue, SE
-- East: 9th Street, SE
-- South: Potomac Avenue, SW
-- West: 9th Street, SW
The new passes will be mailed in the middle of this month. Existing 2010 visitor passes in these areas will be honored through Friday, April 15, 2011.
Note: The visitor parking passes in Ward 5 are valid through July 2011 and DDOT will mail new passes to eligible households in Ward 5 this summer.
The permits will be valid for one year and will allow visitors to park for more than two hours on any RPP block within the boundaries of the resident's Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC).
Conditions for Use of the Visitor Parking Pass
* Visitors should display the Visitor Parking Pass on the driver's side of the dashboard. At the end of the visit, visitors should return the VPP to the resident.
* A VPP is not to be used as a substitute for a valid RPP sticker on a vehicle owned by a resident of the household.
* VPP does not provide an exemption from the Registration of Out-of-State Automobiles (ROSA) requirement to register a vehicle in the District of Columbia within 30 days of residency.
* Vehicles displaying an invalid pass will be subject to a RPP parking citation.
* Duplication or sale of the pass is strictly prohibited and violators are subject to a $300 fine.

That's a mistake, and you should request a replacement from Damon Harvey at DDOT. Below, what the new passes should look like. -- Jack

Material:AluminumModel Year:2013 Easton T11 Thunderstick Hitting Aid 30" Easton knows the needs of every player. Now with the Thunderstick, Easton offers a unique hand-eye training aid. If you can hit with a 1" barrel, imagine what you will be able to do with a standard 2 5/8" barrel! The Thunderstick is a training bat that drastically helps improve hand-eye coordination. Hand-eye coordination is a vital part of successful hitting, and without it, hitting at your potential is virtually impossible. The Thunderstick T10 is a training tool that forces the hitter to make contact with the ball using a smaller bat. Made from a strong alloy, the T11 has a barrel size of 1 inch, making it the ideal way to teach hitters to make solid contact with the ball. Using the Thunderstick at bat, you're training yourself to make contact at the sweet spot of the bat. The Thunderstick training tool works best when used with soft toss drills.

Ad shows grandparents 'doing it,' keeps them safe from STDs
4/12/2012Are you eating? You might want to stop, possibly forever. OK, now click "Play" on the (sorta) SFW video above, the one illustrating sexual positions for the AARP set. The PSA was created by Safer Sex 4 Seniors, a group that wants to educate sexually active oldsters about the very real risk of STDs. "Our grandparents are having sex," ad agency creative Matt Eastwood said. "We wanted to make a sexy ad that [...] encourages seniors to enjoy their sex lives -- safely." That explains the Kama Sutra-ish moves in the video (we're calling one position the "Earlybird Special" and another "The Brittle Bone"). Way to get down, Grandma.
Do you think your grandparents still have sex?

NEWBERRY — Poet Marilyn Nelson shared her work with a Newberry College audience Feb. 21.
Nelson, the author of 15 books and five chapbooks, was the 2012 winner of the Poetry Society's Frost Award. She was the sixth author to visit the college as part of the Gerding Author Series.
During her presentation in Wiles Chapel, Nelson read several of her poems, including "The Lost Daughter," "Lonely Eagles," "Sap Rising," and some from her Fortune's Bones series. Nelson also recited from her newest series, Faster Than Light, which includes new and selected poems from 1996 to 2011.
"There were no particular reasons to the poems I read. I just chose poems that were well received at other readings and were short," said Nelson.
After her presentation, the college held a reception and book signing for Nelson.
Assistant Professor of English Marilyn Seymour said she was "extremely excited" to have Nelson visit. "I absolutely love her poetry and I am particularly drawn to her poetry that deals with civil rights issues."
Nelson said she enjoyed her visit.
"The faculty was nice and so were the students that I met. I was warmly welcomed, and I have never met so many people that have read my book," Nelson said. "It was a real pleasure to come here because I have never heard of Newberry College, and it was a real treat to get to know everyone."
Nelson is a professor emerita of English at the University of Connecticut. From 2004 to 2010, Nelson served as founder, director, and host of the Soul Mountain Retreat, a small, non-profit writers' colony. From 2001 to 2006, she was poet laureate of Connecticut.

Can't really help with locations as most of my excursions seem to lead me north of Newcastle. I've hammocked at Kielder before now. Little too cold for the hammock atm, at least for me.
Cheers anyway Chris. Had a trip out on Friday night by the River Leven. Weather was fantastic so did away with the tarp so I could see all the stars and sat by a small fire listening to the foxes barking all night, amazing.

Hello North East.
I've not been here in a long while since registering so just tipping my wonky head again, as would like to start getting out and about bushcrafting and munching berries and squirrels with others. If there are any people in Durham/Chester-Le-St areas and roundabout this neck of the woods I'd like to know too. I'm in the village of Esh Winning by the way.
hi arniet1 i just been to pick up a wardrobe for a friend from esh did nt realise you have a nice looking piece of woodland on your door step never realised esh was surrounded by so much countryside even though ive lived in durham all my life.
welcome aboard and hope you can make it the next brockers meet
Just like to add for all the newcomers..Keep your eyes open for some local meetings In Brockwell! Watch for the thread as you will meet our most colourful characters in there!!
Aha finally , Good day one and all , New Member here, located in the South Shields area, thought i'd pop my head in and say hello.
I've been to Brockwell before, really nice place,friendly people too , so if anybody is thinking about heading over there in the near future please let me know as i would love to come along,
I've only ever been there by myself , which is great, but it would be nice to head out with a few like minded individuals.
Good craic guaranteed haha :-)
hi there bushcraftgeordie , i'm a sandancer too :-), just recently joined, do you manage to get out there very often ?
Hi Andy. Yep there's some good forestry and wooded areas all around, and right on my doorstep an ancient wooded area with the foundation of an 11th century manor and stables and moat once also apparently the place passed by romans at some point earlier, probably en-route to lanchester and beyond. I don't really go out around here much as I used to, but tried setting up a bushcraft group here several years ago and no one seemed interested. There's a range of tree types from silver birch, chestnut, willow, oak and in the main forest mostly conifer and I'm not sure if its Scots Pine. The areas tend to be very muddy and have seen damage on the tracks running through, from the odd quad/trail biker though not regularly used as far as i know. There are a few almost hidden gem areas mind you and maybe good for a few small gatherings away from the areas that teenagers drop their cans!!
The forestry is under national trust woodlands management i believe, someone like that can't exactly remember name as been sometime since was out walking and biking around. But anyone intersted in having a look out for a recce give me a shout and I'll pm my mobile number.
hi there I'm from middlesbrough and I'd love some good recommendations on places to go, heading to guisbrough woods then over towards kildale via great ayton later in the month, but would love to know some more good places I can sling my hammock up,
glad to see so many people from this area on here
hi to all ive just moved my family to the north east , fishburn to be exact. im wondering if there are any get togethers in my local areas. i'm wanting to learn more bushcraft skills to go with what i allready know any help would be great
how do, I'm from all over the place, but currently between Alston and stanhope freezin me nibs off.....

Do You Know Where This Photo Was Taken?
This photo was taken somewhere in Danvers. Do you know where it is?
Over the years, Danvers has definitely had its share of Colonial imagery in many, many places. This particular shot turned up on my camera this week after taking a few pictures in town. I'm wondering - does anyone out there know where it was taken? Post the answer in the comments box below!

What are the top ten ways you benefit from eating chia seeds?
The top 10 benefits of eating chia seeds seen here are in no particular order. Which one is most important to you? You can expierience all of the following benefits when you order MySeeds Chia.
1. Lose Weight Without Starving
The Chia Seed is a dieter's dream come true. The tiny, healthy seeds can be made to taste like whatever you want, and their unique gelling action keeps you feeling full for hours. Hunger is a main enemy of real weight loss, and you don't want to fight it with jittery expensive pills. When a chia seed
is exposed to water, it forms a coating of gel, increasing its size and weight. Since the gel made of water, it has no calories. It's also difficult to remove from the seed, meaning that it helps your body think it is full, without adding calories!
2. Balance Blood Sugar
Keeping balanced levels of blood sugar is important for both health and energy. Blood sugar may spike after meals, especially if you eat high-starchy foods or sweets. This can lead to 'slumps' in your day where you feel tired and out of energy. By balancing your blood sugar, you not only lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, but you also ensure steady, constant energy throughout your day.
But how does the Chia Seed help with this? Both the gelling action of the seed, and it's unique combination of soluble and insoluble fiber combine to slow down your body's conversion of starches into sugars. If you eat chia with a meal, it will help you turn your food into constant, steady energy rather than a series of ups and downs that wear you out.
3. Help Prevent Diverticulitis / Diverticulosis
With the abundance of over-processed foods and white flour on the market today, rich sources of fiber are harder to come by. These foods of convenience have contributed to the rise of diverticulitis. Irregularity is a
big factor in this risky condition. To help ensure regularity, you need plenty of soluble and insoluble fiber in your diet. If you don't want to eat celery, and whole-grain everything…or piles of bran flakes, the Chia Seed is here to help. Each seed is coated with soluble fibers which aid its gelling action. The exterior of the seed is protected by insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber is unable to be digested (it does not contribute any calories, or break down) so instead, it helps keep food moving smoothly through the digestive process. Soluble fiber, and the gel coating of the seed keeps the colon hydrated and ensures the easy movement of food.
4. Add healthy omega-3 oil to your diet
Omega-3 oil is usually thought of as "that healthy stuff in fish". But, what if you don't want to eat fish every day? What if you're a vegetarian, or simply worried about pollution adding harmful substances to your fish dinner?
Chia is the richest plant-source of this healthy oil. By weight, chia contains more omega 3 than salmon, and it still tastes like whatever you want! Omega 3 oil is important in heart and cholesterol health. It's also recently been targeted as a weight-loss helper. USA Weekend magazine also reports on a study where overweight dieters who included omega 3s in their eating plan lost 2 more pounds monthly than the control group, who did not.
5. Feel more energized all day long
Don't want to feel like taking an afternoon nap? Your energy levels have a lot to do with what you eat. Chia is one of nature's highest plant-based sources of complete protein. Usually protein from items like peanut butter
and some beans are incomplete, meaning you have to combine them with other foods to get the full benefit. Not Chia though, it's protein is complete to raise your energy levels. The combination of complete protein, vitamins, minerals and blood-sugar balancing gel all work together to make sure you have steady, never jittery energy.
6. Bake with less fat
Do you enjoy making baked goods at home, but hate all the butter and oil that has to go into them? Chia gel can substitute for half the butter in most recipes! The food will bake the same and taste the
same (or better) from the addition of the chia gel. All you need to do is divide the amount of butter or oil in half, and then use the same amount of chia gel to fill in. The anti-oxidants in chia can even help keep the food tasting fresh longer. Everything from cookies to cakes to muffins, pancakes and waffles can be made with chia gel as your butter replacement. Which recipe will become your new favorite?
7. Add age-defying anti-oxidants
Anti-oxidants have been in the news lately due to their super healthy benefits. You know that blueberries and several exotic fruits (that aren't always in season) have them, but did you know that chia is extremely high in anti-oxidants too? These helpful substances are what makes the Chia Seed stay .
fresh for so long. At room temperature, they'll stay fresh and ready to eat for over two whole years! And that's all without a single chemical or preservative. This amazing ability is not found in other seeds like flax or sesame, because those seeds don't have the same rich anti-oxidant content.
Anti-oxidants help prevent free-radical damage in your body. Free radicals lead to problematic conditions such as premature aging of the skin and inflammation of various tissues. Fight free radical damage by staying fresh and healthy with nature's anti-oxidant powerhouse

3-D Printing Goes From Sci-Fi Fantasy To Reality

(SOURCE: Journal of the American Medical Association, news release, June 26, 2012)
TUESDAY, June 26 (HealthDay News) -- Limited radiation therapy was associated with high rates of two-year, event-free survival in children with favorable-risk Hodgkin lymphoma who had a complete response to chemotherapy, a new study shows. More than 90 percent of children with favorable-risk Hodgkin lymphoma are long-term survivors. Research has shown, however, that these patients have elevated death rates more than 10 years after their diagnosis due to long-term toxic effects of their treatment, particularly radiation, said Dr. Monika Metzger, of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and colleagues. To reduce the long-term risk of complications, doctors use response-based therapies tailored to patients based on their early initial response to treatment. This approach seeks to identify patients who can safely receive lower levels of radiation. In this study, Metzger and colleagues looked at 47 patients who had a complete response to chemotherapy and did not receive radiation, and 41 patients who had a less-than-complete response to chemotherapy and received limited radiation treatment. The two-year event-free survival rate was 89.4 percent for patients who did not receive radiation and 92.5 percent for those who received limited radiation. The five-year event-free survival rates were 89.4 percent and 87.5 percent, respectively. The study was published in the June 27 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The findings "highlight the continued commitment to reduce complications in the treatment of childhood malignancies and add to the growing body of evidence detailing the utility of early-response-adapted therapy," Dr. Kimberly Whelan and Dr. Frederick Goldman, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, wrote in an accompanying editorial.

Out of life and death, heroes emerge
River Falls Swim Club Interim Coach Gunnar Teigen knew he had "good athletes and great kids" on his team. What he didn't know was how some were capable of heroism.By: Phil Pfuehler, River Falls Journal
River Falls Swim Club Interim Coach Gunnar Teigen knew he had "good athletes and great kids" on his team. What he didn't know was how some were capable of heroism.
He saw plenty of heroic action Friday night, Sept. 21, at the high school swimming pool.
Three swim club members in particular came together as a lifesaving trio on behalf of 12-year-old Marissa Metzler of the town of Troy.
Marissa's heart stopped beating in the pool lane as she finished a kickboard drill.
She was floating chest up, legs down, arms flailing. What happened in the next few minutes proved to be the difference between life and death.
"It was remarkable to see the confidence and calmness that everyone displayed," Teigen said. "Even those who weren't in the middle of it respected the space needed for the rescue. There was a total lack of panic, which was important because that meant no distractions."
Three of Metzler's swim mates, brothers Ben and Jon Heiniger, ages 15 and 14, and Becca Thomas, 15, along with Ben and Jon's mother, Sonja Heiniger, a former physician assistant, formed the spontaneous team of rescuers.
The three teens had recent CPR training. Sonja was watching swim practice from the upper balcony.
She spotted Marissa thrashing in the water, yelled "get her" and raced downstairs to the pool.
Becca, a trained lifeguard, was still in the pool herself. She swam over and, keeping Marissa's head above water, grabbed and carried her out.
Marrisa was placed on the pool deck and soon tipped to the side but no water came from her mouth.
Others from the pool gathered close. Teigen couldn't get a pulse. Marissa had seizures from the oxygen cutoff.
"Marissa was lifeless. Her heart had stopped. I knew it was a sudden cardiac arrest. I didn't even recognize her she looked so bad," said Sonja. "Her lips were completely blue, her skin was colorless and her pupils were blown out and dilated."
Sonja had the poolside emergency phone to call 911 but couldn't get it to work. She handed the phone to Tiegen who punched in the prefix 99 before the 911 so the call for help would go through.
Fourteen-year-old Jon said they had to start CPR. He began chest compressions. Sonja bent over Marissa to do mouth-to-mouth breathing.
Ben, a natural observer, had noticed during swim club practices an AED (automated external defibrillator) stored in a nearby corridor glass cabinet.
As part of his recent CPR training, Ben knew how to use the portable device that diagnoses heart rhythms and delivers electric currents to re-establish normal heartbeats.
Ben ran from the pool, grabbed the AED, which briefly set off a school building alarm, and returned to the pool deck in seconds.
The battery-operated AED with two sticky pads was attached to Marissa's chest.
It was used twice to deliver shocks to Marissa's heart.
Meanwhile, Becca took over handling chest compressions from Jon. Sonja said Becca brought renewed energy that seemed to stimulate Marissa.
Between the AED shocks, the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions, Marissa began to come around though she still had no pulse.
"Her eyes were normal, she was stirring. She groaned and nodded when asked if she could hear us," Sonja said. "Those were positive signs."
River Falls Ambulance paramedics then arrived to take over. Before they left with Marissa, Sonja said they congratulated the swim club for a job well done.

Whippersnapper Gallery and XPACE Cultural Centre present:
Creating Conversation as Art:
A discussion with Angel Chen, the Department for Public Memory, Sarah Febbraro, and the Torontonians
April 17th, 2012
7-9pm - XPACE Cultural Centre, 58 Ossington Ave Toronto, ON
Creating Conversation as Art invites the public to participate in a group discussion about conversation as an artistic medium. The invited artists maintain practices that directly engage participation from a general public. A common outcome of their work is that a new conversation is inspired or facilitated. Starting with questions that have arisen from the participating artists' practices, discussion participants will be invited to consider what happens when social interactions are given a form or structure in the context of art.
Some of the questions that have arisen in anticipation of this
discussion include:
How can we engage an audience that may not want to participate?
How do the choices made in publicizing a work curate an audience?
How does a participant's experience change once the activity is disclosed as being "art"?
Angel Chen – candidcallcentre.org
The Department for Public Memory -departmentofpublicmemory.wordpress.com
Sarah Febbraro – sarahfebbraro.com
The Torontonians – mammalian.ca/template.php?content=social_torontonians
Moderated by Maggie Flynn
A co-presentation by Whippersnapper and XPACE Cultural Centre this discussion is intended to provide a space for reflection and dialogue about Angel Chen's current exhibition, Candid Call Centre, on now at Whippersnapper until April 28, 2012

(3) The Registrar shall not approve or register a denomination for the plant variety which —
consists solely of figures, except where this is an established practice for designating plant varieties;
is likely to mislead or cause confusion concerning the characteristics, value or identity of the plant variety, or the identity of the breeder;

(5) Where a person associates a trade mark, trade name or other similar indication with the registered denomination under subsection (4), the denomination must nevertheless be easily recognisable and distinct from the trade mark, trade name or other similar indication.
[ICPNVP 1991, Art. 20; Sweden Plant Act 1997, Art. 1]

Speedy Subaru
by Deborah in Renton, WA on 09/16/2009.
Trim: 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited, Owned less than 1 year.
When i first brought the car home, the kids went crazy because somehow they knew this was a fast car. I never thought i would buy a subaru but when i saw this car, it was really pretty. I was debating on buying either a Lexus IS or the Acura TL, but the price was better for the subaru and more room in the back!
It still is good on gas mileage. I put super in and i keep it in "I mode" to conserve, but during the times i really want to go fast, i switch it to Super Turbo and it really goes. Its amazing!
Dont have any cons to buying this car

I agree. I tried to take a wild stab at the question (in this thread:
) of whether the probability of life arising given Earth-like conditions (or "conditions suitable for life arising" ... whatever) might be in the range of probabilities that would make it not too unlikely that it would happen once and only once amongst many billions of planets with such conditions. If the range of probabilities in which that would be not too unlikely is very narrow, then, knowing nothing about the actual probability, I might imagine the actual probability is unlikely to fall in that range (sort of a meta-probability problem).

Not disagreeing with your overall point, Zag, but I would like to point out that Europe is not the whole world. The bubonic plague changed Europe significantly, but the rest of the world could have happily gone on regardless and undoubtedly would have made advances despite Europe's non-involvement. (China often seems to hold claim to more firsts than the rest of the world combined)

Even if that (life starting) is more common than just once, I think that there are a lot of dead ends that worlds can fall into which prevent higher intelligence. Our own world was trapped in one for a while until a huge meteor wiped out the big lizards. The dinosaurs dominated Earth for a hundred times the length of time humans have.
Even once you reach what we would consider to be higher intelligence, there are societal stagnation traps which could prevent the people from getting to a radio age, which is the first chance we would have to detect them. It took the bubonic plague to break us out of the the feudal system which had completely stagnated society for almost a millennium.
And there are other traps which can destroy a society before it (really) reaches the space age -- I'm not convinced that we can escape those. Nuclear annihilation is never more than a few button presses away, and the environmental annihilation we are perpetrating might already be too far gone to reverse.

If the conditions are right, life will form. Do I think we'll find extraterrestrial life-forms? We will, of that I'm certain. Do I think they'll be all that different from what we find on Earth? Not really (although Earth is home to
that we consider normal, so take that with a grain of salt).
Do I think we'll find intelligent life? Nope, not without some really powerful help from outside.

With no intention of being the proverbial wet blanket, I have to point out that the journal in question lacks a rigorous peer review process, and the wide community is, in general, dubious that the conclusion of the existence of extraterrestrial life follows necessarily from the discoveries and work he's done.
Cool, certainly, but I'm keeping my optimism guarded.

Sedu Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray
BethNot The SameDont be fooled. This is not the same product as the John Frieda Beach Hair product. While this is still a nice product is does not make your hair have the beachy feel or look.posted Sep 14, 2007Link to this post
RandiNorth CarolinaBest Beach Hair!!!I love the scent of this spray. It has a coconut and salty smell that always reminds me of a summer day at the ocean. I use it by shaking it up and spritzing it in, I then let my hair air dry, and it conditions my hair and leaves it smelling great. It leaves my hair with lots of loose waves, just as if I spent the day swimming in the ocean and let my hair dry in the sunshine and ocean air. Sometimes when I go to work I just spray some in my towel-dried hair just for the scent and then style as usual. (doesnt affect my heat styling) 5 stars all the way!posted Aug 30, 2007Link to this post
Lisa(finally!) Found What I Was Looking ForThis is hands down the best spray for beachy hair. I tried Bumble & Bumbles Surf Spray, and Fekkais Beach Spray, but the Sedu Sea Salt Spray is the best. Nothing else gives me big, loose waves, without stringiness. The only flaw in this product is that the waves dont hold all day for me--I have to take it along in my bag for a mid-afternoon refresher. Even so, this product deserves five stars all the way. Keep it in stock Folica!!!posted Aug 25, 2007Link to this post
Rachel KSharon, MASedu Beach Beautymy sister let me borrow her bottle of sedu beach beauty spray yesterday to test out before i bought it. i woke up this morning, shampooed/conditioned like normal. i then sprayed some in my hand, flipped my head over and scrunched the ends with it. then i pretty much sprayed it in my roots and massaged in. i took my dryer and dried my roots. i was going to let the rest air dry but my sister said it would work better if i gave my all my hair a blast of warm air. let me just tell you, i have LONG,stick straigh hair. Absolutely NO volume whatsoever...and THIS IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT! when i was done blow drying, i looked in the mirror and it was Poofy! i looked like i had TONS of hair and it was all messy looking like i had just tumbled out of bed after a long night out with my girls partying! when i went to work i just clipped it up. it looks VERY tousled and sexy. i would reccommend this product to every flat haired girl out there! GO BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! it also smells great! i have been running my fingers through my hair and have not had any flakes.posted Aug 22, 2007Link to this post

KatePhiladelphia, PASuitable SubsituteMy stylist recently recommended I try Fekkais summer hair beach waves when I expressed my frustration over teh discontinuation of the Freida version. Although pricey (about $20 for a 5 oz bottle), I found it to work just the same as the Freida with the same beachy, coconut smell. They sell this at Bath and Body Works and also at Douglas stores.

What's Old is New– New Updates to Old Downloads
One of the great things about the Mac software community is that there is always something new. Last week's favorite app is so quickly replaced with this weeks cool new thing. That's what makes it even better when that cool new thing is actually a cool old thing reborn. And those are the kind of picks we have this week.
Netscape has seen good days and bad, but no one can contest that it is the great-grand daddy of web browsers. So, to see it return to the Mac (v. 8 was Windows only) and in such good form (based on Firefox 2) is fantastic.
The big dog is back, and with some cool new features like the mini-browser (a sidebar that can load pages) and a handy link manager. Surprised? You shouldn't be. Netscape was the browser that brought us tabbed browsing.
Camino is another long-time Mac must-have. Its hard to believe that Camino has been around longer than Firefox but is only on version 1.5. Good news: 1.5 adds session saving, better plugin handling and a new rendering engine.
Open Office is the Open Source reincarnation of Sun's Star Office that has been around for ages. Recently, via X11, it made its way to OS X. But, if you've used it you know it is anything but Mac-like. A new project is underway to forge a Mac native version of the office suite. And the Alpha is ready for download.
Remember your first blog? There's a good chance it was powered by Movable Type. Well, Web 2.0 and blogging are well underway, and the folks at Six Apart have finally come around to releasing MT as Open Source. Actually, this is due to happen this summer, but you can download the beta today.
Ahh, memories. Truly great software never goes away for long, does it?

Pennsylvania's labor secretary told lawmakers on Tuesday that state police are investigating whether the state's hotline for jobless benefits was sabotaged, even as she assured them that the problems plaguing it in recent months are improving.
Labor and Industry Secretary Julia Hearthway said at a legislative hearing in the Capitol that she considers the phone system "largely fixed" and expects to see call volume continue to drop.
"I think this next six months will be critical," she said. "We are working on this around the clock."
Calls to the state unemployment compensation centers skyrocketed in September to 8 million, up from about 900,000 a year earlier. The calls exceeded 15 million in November but were down to fewer than 7 million last month.
Hearthway said police were notified because of the volume of calls, and there also were questions about where they originated.
"We don't know whether there's any intentional activity or not," Hearthway said. Police may not be able to determine whether sabotage was involved, she said. A call seeking comment from state police headquarters was not immediately returned.
Hearthway said whether the overall problems are improving will become clearer in a month or two, because January and February are traditionally busy months for unemployment claims.
She said the situation was worsened by a $30 million reduction in federal funding, support that could fall by an additional $10 million next year.
She also blamed a new phone system for exacerbating the problems, along with cellphone applications that automatically redial after reaching a busy signal.
"It did choke the system and probably explains a good chunk of the 15 1/2 million calls that erupted in November," she said.

4.5 Great Film! buffman2 | 04/06/2012 | See all buffman2's reviews (3) Probably the best film I have seen this year highly recommended!
4.5 Fantastic! Shaughnessy96 | 14/04/2012 | See all Shaughnessy96's reviews (21) Before seeing this film you may think you have to know something about baseball or even have an interest in the sport, but that is not the case. I personally have no interest in baseball, but I know a really good film when I see one and this is one. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are brilliant in this and fully deserved their Oscar nominations. Whether you like baseball, sport in general,or simply a good entertaining watch, you have to see this movie. Sensational!
4.5 Brilliant Wookee | 29/03/2012 | See all Wookee's reviews (6) Excellent film. I only watched it as a 'pass the time' film as usually I don't go for Oscar films.I thought it was excellent, I usually dislike Jonah Hill but he was brilliant and it was a really interesting insight into the world of Baseball, and how mathmeticians changed it forever. Surprised to learn it was also a true story and is inspiring, considering today's world seems to revolve around money and not the talent seen in front of you.
4.5 MONEYBALL!!!!!!!! moggzy1 | 25/03/2012 | See all moggzy1's reviews (1) Amazing film !!!!!No going to spoil it for anyone must buy it and see for yourself how good of a film this really is . Fantastic!!!!

by Kathy Kelly, Washington, DC Chapter, Government Information Division
When Cindy Romaine visited the DC SLA chapter for our holiday lunch cruise during late 2010, she challenged all of us to gear up to post on the FutureReady blog. I told her I would have to do so from the standpoint of an unemployed librarian. So let me share my view of why we're in a great profession in which to handle the challenges of joblessness or underemployment with resiliency. First, librarians are instinctive networkers. We are always learning, communicating, and sharing knowledge with our peers, via the many events and learning opportunities that are constantly pushed out to us by our collaborative networks. And we've all learned how critical networking is to landing jobs in challenging times.
Second, our companions in this profession are doing a great deal to address employment issues for both new and seasoned info pros. The DC SLA chapter is soon to launch an employment portal on its web site; this chapter provides discounts to unemployed members for its programs; and its long-term members are generous with mentoring those who are seeking jobs and in transition. In addition, SLA at the association level provides a reduced membership rate for the unemployed.
Third, info pros are used to juggling multiple priorities and using time well. What a bonus it can be to have ample time to attend free trainings on Thomas, Legal Research, and Business Research at the Library of Congress; Fedlink trainings at the same institution; database and legislative history trainings at the DOI Library; online trainings while at home; and the usual slate of intriguing DC SLA programs, book clubs, happy hours, and dinearounds. We really have an embarrassment of riches in terms of opportunities for staying active in our field.
Because of financial constraints, I had not been out of the DC area for a long time when I decided that the investment in attending the SLA 2011 conference in Philadelphia would be well worth it, and I was not disappointed. But even when we may not be able to travel to conferences, unemployment or underemployment cannot stop any of us from serving on various boards, doing volunteer work for chapters and other groups, and writing for our profession's publications and blogs.
During an earlier period of unemployment years ago, I was attending a DC SLA dinearound when a librarian asked for my contact info in case her institution had any openings in the future. She assumed I did not have a business card since I was in between jobs, but I carried a personal business card, and pulled one out pronto. Within a few weeks, her library had an opening, and I had a job. I still carry those cards, and always keep 'Librarian/Certified Archivist' in my email signature block, no matter what my job status.
I'd say that info pros are not only always 'employed', in the sense of being engaged in a lively profession, but they are also always ready for future employment thanks to that present engagement.
Kathy Kelly most recently served as Librarian Project Manager and Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Librarian on the library support services contract at the NOAA Central Library. Previously she served as a Task Order Manager/Supervisory Librarian at the U.S. EPA's Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse (PPIC), and before that as an Archivist/Delivery Order Manager at the EPA History Office. Prior to serving at EPA, Kathy worked as a Library Technician in the Library of Congress (LC) Music Division and an Archives Technician in the LC Manuscript Division. She has been a Certified Archivist since 1997, and is currently the 2011 Secretary for the SLA Government Information Division, and 2010-2011 Secretary for the Catholic University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) Alumni Board.

These have been a favorite of my family for many years now. They are something that are fairly close to familiar so it is easier to bring the picky pallettes of children into your world. As you will see in the video I stick with a fairly uncomplicated mix for these. This leaves plenty of room to play with your creativity. Just as a simple burger can be made into something far superior with a little ingenuity, the sky is the limit with the humble salmon patty.
2 cans of Salmon
2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
2 eggs
4 Tablespoon mayo
1 lime juiced
1 Tablespoon herbs of choice
ensure there are no pin bones in salmon. Then mix all ingredients well (think mixing meatloaf). Portion into patties. Grill till golden on each side.
As I was writing this out I ran into a couple interesting variations that can be done with this simple dish. Gravlax and eggs... use dill in the mix and serve on a bun with a fried egg. Another simple one is blackened salmon... season with old bay and then blackening seasoning on the outside. Blacken like you would a fillet of fish.
Time for a pint

More time | Editorial
By MARY L. GRADY
Mercer Island Reporter Editor
December 12, 2012 · 9:18 AM
In just two dozen pages, the Seattle communications consultant, Triangle Associates, plainly laid out the situation facing the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors in obtaining voter approval to fund the rebuilding of Mercer Island public schools.
Their key recommendation is for the school district to hold back on moving forward too quickly with a new bond measure — whether it is for a single school, the merely palatable 1.b option or any other iteration. Any new bond proposal at this point would likely fail again.
Islanders are not ready — they are still recovering from the shock of the unimaginable amount of money they were asked to accept last time.
Instead, the board must continue to reach out and rebuild trust within the community for perceived missteps regarding the management of school assets — real or imagined — whether they are material to the issue at hand or not. And following that, bring them along into the realities of what a 21st century education is all about.
The first sentence in the Executive Summary states that Islanders, while caring deeply about schools and the education of Island youth here, do not understand key elements of what is needed. In particular, the report says that "some citizens do not have a clear understanding of how overcrowding impacts the quality of schools."
School district facilities are 20 percent over capacity. More than 4,600 students are squeezing into space that was designed to house 3,900.
Often heard is the fact that Islander students continue to excel despite less-than-adequate facilities. Something is working right, they say.
Still left by the wayside is the concept that the need for new facilities goes beyond providing physical space. A 21st century education is needed for 21st century jobs and living.
Who knew that the real teaching job for the school district would be to convince Islanders that schools and teaching have changed dramatically?

OOOH! I absolutely love your quilt center! I hadn't seen it posted, I don't think. And, I think your center is in my group. I was wondering what you done for your center.

Here is Dana's center and it is beautiful! My picture doesn't really do it justice.
I know she hasn't posted it but felt it should be shared so I'm going to post it for her and hope she won't be mad.

Just beautiful Dana!
aka Grandma Sunshine
Beautiful center Dana, Debbie you did a nice job hiding the border you attached!
Can't wait to see all these beautiful quilts!
South of Boston, MA
Thanks, Liz - I hid Kristie's border, still working on mine. last time, I sent Thea a picture on PM so she could start thinking ahead of what to do on Kristie's center. No one else sees it but the two of us and it helps plan what you want to do on your border. Does anyone else do that?
Been working on Dana's center - wow! talk about having to really put your thinking cap on. I sure hope Dana likes what I've come up with and that Thea will be able to come up with a great border. Someone else said that in a post I read earlier that the idea she had went out the window when she saw what the person before her had done. It kinda reminds me of playing Scrabble, you think you have a word and then someone uses your place so you have to start over and rethink it.
This is way harder than I thought it would be, but I'm loving the challenge. I'm working on getting my 1/4" seam straight and making pretty blocks. Hey, Nana - getting ready for MQ8! I will say, each of the two borders I've done have used block patterns I haven't doe before so challenging myself to get outside the normal that I do.
Debbie, not true. Everyone can see pictures even in pms. I did the same thing with Nana before I sent Zsofia's top. You should delete it from your gallery and messages. Talk to Candis about it if you have questions. ;-)
Similar to what Maggie said - I made the same mistake. I sent a photo in a PM thinking since we were the only ones who can see the PM, we would be the only ones who can see the photo. I know this is ridiculous, but when you put a photo in a PM, it puts a thing on your page that says "Debbie uploaded a photo: <name of photo>". And then anyone can click on that and see the photo - even though they can't see the PM that it was originally contained in.
I think it's a problem with the site, but we need to all be aware of it. I like the idea of sharing photos for planning, but it would need to be done off the site in emails.
Thanks for the heads up! I went and checked and I must have sent it in an email because it's not in my gallery. I'll remember that for future reference.
You ones that want to send photos can exchange email address. That way it's safe, or continue to PM them to your specific person, wait a few min. Then go back and delete the pic. The person you sent it to will still get it. Weird I know. I think I gave my email address out in the front page of the Robin. I have a special email set up just for the Robin, so don't mind giving it to all, but You all should send yours privately to each other if you want to. Mine is email@example.com. I want you all to feel free any time to email or message me with questions or if you get stuck or to send me photos, I love seeing anything you want to show me.

ContentBeing social used to require a lot of effort. Making plans involved making phone calls, typically many calls back and forth between groups of people. Out of all the great things the Internet has done for the world, Internet social networking may be one of the best inventions.
The Internet has made it easier than ever to connect with old friends, flames, and family. Keeping up on old connections can be a lot of work; trying to call and write all of your friends takes up more time than most people have. With social networking, you can see all of your friends and family on one tidy web page. You're just a click away from reading about their day, learning about their current job, or looking at pictures of their newest baby. People with lots of acquaintances and old friends to keep in touch with benefit a lot from the ease of social networking. It's even better for people who have family all over the country. Rather than catching up just on holidays, you can keep up with your family's lives via the Internet.
Making new friends is also easier with the aid of the Internet. Meeting someone new at a party used to mean that you had a new acquaintance that you might run into again. With Facebook and similar sites, it's easy to look up someone you met and become friends with them. Social networking gives you the chance to connect with new friends, make plans with them, and create lasting friendships.
It's important to use the Internet for social networking in moderation. If it's your only method of socialization, it's not necessarily healthy. However, in general, using the Internet to stay in touch with old friends and make new friends is a great way to enrich your social life.
