Cocks, like people, are social creatures by nature and need a little human touch to truly feel alive. Not all good wood should automatically be wasted inside a vagina, some dicks are meant to be wanked. Sure jerking off is great, but admiring someone else do the job is even better! Yes there's just something about watching a girl's delicate hands as they tenderly stroke a cock. Welcome to a wonderful world of handjobs.
Jerry swallowed a Viagra pill and his dick has been rock-hard for hours! He visits the local doctor for some release and boy, does he fuckin' get it! Cassidy Banks may very well be the hottest M.D ever! She starts off by laying poor Jerry down on her massage table as she starts jerking him off with both hands. Things get a little hot, and she tells Jerry to take off her constricting lab coat. Jerry is dazzled by her delicious, eye-catching lingerie and starts sucking on her huge, juicy natural tits. Before you know it, she's tit-fucking his cock until he finally spurts his cum all over her beautiful tits!
Billy Glide and his smoking-hot co-worker, Alison Tyler are in the office working when Billy gets a bad headache and asks Alison for some tylenol. She accidentally gives him a viagra, which gives him a huge-ass boner! Slyly, Alison offers to jack him off on her big, tasty titties. With the blinds closed shut, Alison pulls up her black skirt to reveal that she's not wearing any panties at all. Her pussy is a perfect slit, already moist at the thought of Billy's huge cock in her hands. She starts jerking him off slowly and then tit-fucks him for added pleasure and then watches him furiously finish himself off on her giant juicy boobs!
Darling Mandy Muse does some heavy lifting in this raunchy handjob scene! After standing up and spinning around and showing off her sexy petite body, she gets to work right away on deep-throating Mike's cock. Her mouth gets sore trying to fit Mike's dick in her mouth so she uses her tiny hands to jack him off but she just can't help sucking on it for added pleasure. After getting pumped like crazy in doggy-style, she swallows every bit of his spunk!
Chloe Addison wants to go to the concert with her girlfriends, but that leaves Talon alone and all horny with no pussy to play with. This couple reaches a compromise - Chloe will jack him off real nice and in exchange for a handjob, Talon will let her go hang out. They're making out and kissing in the car and Talon is shoving his rough fingers in Chloe's fresh pink pussy when he decides to migrate things back home. Chloe strips down to reveal a completely mint sexy figure and starts tugging on Talon's cock, jerking him off but that delicious dick is too much to resist and she's got to have a little taste too! Watch her suck and tug that dick!
Sweet bride to be, Jillian Janson and Talon are one of those kooky conservative couples who are waiting to have sex after marriage. Jillian surprises her hubby, Talon by wearing some super sexy pink lingerie. She climbs on top of him and clasps her tiny hands around his cock and starts jerkin' him off. Talon gets fuckin' randy from his handjob and starts sneaking his fingers down Jillian's pink panties and hooking his fingers up her juicy, wet pussy as she keeps tugging away. After eating her out, Talon watches as Jillian wanks and sucks him off and spills his cum all over her perfectly perky tits.
When we first see busty blonde Kiersten Koyote, she's happily playing with herself, jamming her tiny fingers in her puffy pink pussy. Still wearing her black panties, she slides them off and tosses them at the camera. Then, as she's laying stomach down on the bed, she gets a tongue shoved up her crack and moans as her stud gives her the pussy and butt licking of a lifetime! After receiving some awesome oral pleasure, she gets on her knees and starts stroking her man's hard dick, spitting on her hands to really crank that weiner up and down. That dick looks so tempting that Kiersten can't help but suck on it a little bit. She even tit-fucks!

The U.S. House of Representatives on June 1, 2012, voted against Clean Water Act protections for streams, lakes, and rivers across the United States. The House majority voted to keep a Dirty Water Rider in the House's Energy and Water Appropriations bill, which exposes 60 percent of our country's streams, and at least 20 million acres of wetlands, to toxic pollution. Their actions also threaten the drinking water of 117 million Americans.
The Dirty Water Rider was introduced by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) in an effort to block the Obama administration from protecting waters of the United States, making it easier for polluters to dump their waste into our waters with impunity and without controls by federal, state, or local governments looking out for the well-being of their citizens.
The House of Representatives seems to be diametrically opposed to the wants, needs, and wishes of the American people whom they theoretically represent. Americans need clean water, and they depend on it. They overwhelmingly say so in poll after poll. Americans cherish and rely on their lakes, rivers, and streams, for recreational uses, food supply, and sustainable drinking water. But they are also deeply concerned about so many of our waters that are dangerously polluted and unsafe.
It's critical that we clean up our waterways and maintain their purity in order to protect our communities. But the current House majority is using a spending bill to pay off favors to their polluter friends, putting 117 million Americans in directly into harm's way.
I cannot understand why, when Americans want and need clean water, their representatives are voting for dirty water, pollution, contamination, and sickness.
Americans want to fill their glass with water that won't give them cancer. They want their children to be able to swim in lakes and rivers without fear of toxic contaminants. They want to be able to fish in clean waters that will produce a sustainable abundance of aquatic life for perpetuity.
Our elected leaders in the House are putting American families and communities in danger just so that they can pay off campaign contributors and promote their political careers. This is clearly just plain wrong, if not criminal in its intent and results.
We need the Senate to stop this Dirty Water Rider and protect the people and waters of this country. As a last line of defense, it appears that President Obama won't stand for this kind of polluter attack on clean water, and will likely veto any and all legislative attempts to block protections for our nation's waters and communities. If Mitt Romney was in the White House, would such a last line defense be in place? I shudder to think of the answer to that question.

Well, that's one way to end a week.
First the scoreboard:
Dow: 12,849.5, -136.9, -1.0%
And now the top stories:
- China, the world's golden goose of growth, said GDP slowed to 8.1 percent in Q1, down from 8.9 percent in Q4. Economists were looking for 8.4 percent growth. Not to worry, said JP Morgan's Jing Ulrich. The world's second largest economy faced numerous headwinds in Q1, said Ulrich, but expected easing should cause it to accelerate in the second half. JP Morgan sees China growing 8.4 percent in 2012.
- European stock markets got demolished today. Leading the way down was Spain's IBEX 35, which tumbled 3.5 percent. Italy's FTSE MIB fell 3.3 percent. Meanwhile, Spanish borrowing costs exploded higher and CDS surged to record levels. Why Next Week Will Be Huge For Spain >
- Two big banks announced better-than-expected earnings this morning. JP Morgan announced EPS of $1.31, which beat estimates of $1.18. Wells Fargo, America's bigges mortgage lender, reported EPS of $0.75, which was well ahead of the $0.67 estimate.
- On the economic data front, the consumer price index (CPI) climbed 0.3 percent in March. Core CPI climbed by 0.2 percent. Both reads came right in line with expectations. Krugman: After 5 Years, This Is What We've Learned From The Crisis >
- University of Michigan Consumer Confidence unexpectedly fell to 75.7. Economists were expecting the number to stay flat 76.2.
- Shares of Google tanked today despite yesterday's better-than-expected earnings announcement. However, management announced a controversial stock split, which allows the company's founders to maintain control of the company. That seemed to turn off shareholders. Everything You Need To Know About Google's Weird Stock Split >
- So, it was Friday the 13th. Art Cashin said traders used to wear hats on those Fridays to ward off evil spirits. But according to his data, markets typically closed positive on these days. For something scarier, we point you to Doug Kass, who points us to the "three peaks and a domed house" technical formation. Kass isn't a religious follower of technical analysis, but he notes that this particular pattern has been very foretelling lately. Based on this technical pattern, the next stop for the S&P 500 is 1,100.

For quite some time now we have been mesmerized and inspired by the work of the unsurpassable artist Margaret Oomen – we are particularly drawn to her crocheted stones. Her creations and her talent leave us absolutely speechless, as does her wonderfully kind personality. Resurrection Fern is her blog about her life as a mother of four, rural physician and textile designer. She also has an Etsy Shop where you can purchase her gorgeous crocheted stones (if you're quick enough since they go so quickly!) as well as beautiful still-life photographs of her crocheted stones. Today marks a very special day for us because Margaret generously agreed to create an exclusive Crocheted Stone pattern for Purl Bee readers (pictured above). Below is one of our favorite shots of Margaret's work from her Etsy Shop.
The Materials
- a smooth flat stone
- Valdani 100% pearl cotton hand embroidery thread (one ball of any color is more than enough for one stone)
- small size crochet hook size 9
- scissors
- embroidery needle
The Pattern
In this tutorial I will show you how to crochet a cover for a smooth sea or river stone inspired by the lovely sea urchin. The instructions are for a stone about 5 cm in diameter but can easily be adapted to any size. If you can crochet a chain, make a single and double crochet stitch then you are ready to make a covered stone. –Margaret
Step 1: Make a chain 10 stitches long. Join chain to form a circle.
Step 2: Chain 1, single crochet (sc) from the center of the circle 12 times. Join with a slip-stitch (sl).
Step 3: Chain 2, 2 double crochet (dc) in each sc, slip-stitch to make a circle.
Step 4: Chain 2, *work 3 dc into next stitch, chain 3, skip 2 stitches; repeat from * 7 more times. Always slip-stitch to join the circle.
Step 5: Chain 2, dc in next opening, *chain 3, dc 2 times in next opening, dc in next 2 stitches; Repeat from until the round is completed.
Step 6: Chain 5, * dc 2 times in next opening, dc in next 3 stitches, chain 3; repeat from * until the round is complete.
Step 7: Chain 5, * dc 2 times in next opening, dc into next 4 stitches, chain 3; repeat from * until the round is complete.
Time to measure your work thus far against your stone. They should be almost exactly the same diameter. If it is smaller just add another round or two following the pattern you see developing. Now for the fun!!
Step 8: Chain 2, *make 1 dc in the opening between every stitch; repeat from * until you have completed a round.
If you have done this correctly this round will curl inwards a little appearing like a low basket. Time to slip your stone inside the basket. The remainder of the pattern is worked with the stone inside. This is my favorite part of covering smooth stones.
Step 9: Chain 2, *dc in every second stitch pulling tightly to make the cover very snug on the stone; repeat from * to end of round. Join this last circle and then cut the fiber leaving a 10 cm long tail and pull the thread through the last stitch.
Thread the tail on your needle and sew in invisibly through the last row. (Note, the beautiful pincushion in the photograph above is from Cozy Memories Etsy Shop.) Time to admire your little urchin stone and think about which stone you will cover next.
It is next to impossible to only make one. They look so lovely in a small group along with a few natural treasures. A small flatter stone or piece of sea glass could be covered in this way and turned into a lovely summer necklace.

Polish Shabbethaian; lived at Zolkiev in the first half of the eighteenth century. An excellent Talmudist, and possessing in the highest degree the art of dissimulation, he was sent by the Polish Shabbethaians as a secret emissary to Moravia, Bohemia, and Germany, to establish relations with their sympathizers in those countries. Kamanker visited Prague—where he associated with Jonathan Eybeschütz—and many other communities, endeavoring everywhere to spread secretly Shabbethaian writings, and probably also to collect money for the leaders of the sect. His mission came to an abrupt end in Frankfort-on-the-Main. Betrayed by a Polish rabbi to whom he had confided his schemes, Kamanker was induced by specious promises to visit that city, where he was publicly exposed and put under the ban by the rabbinate.

We knew it was coming, and around 12:30 Pacifc Time yesterday afternoon Louis Jean of TVA Sports broke the news that the Canucks had fired head coach Alain Vigneault and associate coaches Rick Bowness and Newell Brown.
In my view, if we were to draw up an off-season priority list of what will help the Canucks win more games next season, the coaching situation would be near the bottom of the list. But professional hockey, in some ways, is as much about public relations as it is on-ice success, and someone needed to be held accountable for the 1-8 playoff record of the past two seasons. Unsurprisingly, that someone was Alain Vigneault.
Let's roundup what's being said about AV's dismissal around the hockey web after the jump.
We'll start here at home where Thom touches on Mike Gillis' patience and what is certainly going to be a long, drawn-out process of selecting a new coach:
Asked directly what sort of coach the team might target, Mike Gillis initially cried "uncle!" saying "I need a couple of days here to collect my thoughts and we'll go through a process." Of course he'll go through a process, one that I'm sure will be criticized for moving too slowly.
But ultimately Gillis did outline, albeit in vague terms, the type of process the team plans to engage in during their coaching search: "I think that the NHL is changing and evolving rapidly and we're going to listen and talk to the people we think are legitimate candidates and we'll make our decision based on that interview process… I'd imagine it will be patient and thorough and we'll consider every possible contingency that we need to consider." From one drawn out process to another – your Vancouver Canucks!
Ian MacIntyre talks about the curious way in which the news of Vigneault's dismissal broke:
Fifteen days after the Canucks' second straight first-round exit from the National Hockey League playoffs, Gillis fired Vigneault and top assistant coaches Rick Bowness and Newell Brown. But even that job went poorly, as Vigneault learned of his dismissal from media reports before Gillis had spoken to him.
"I have no idea how that could happen," Gillis told reporters summoned to Rogers Arena for a Wednesday afternoon press conference. "I had a meeting scheduled today … at 10 o'clock with our ownership group. I was in that meeting until two o'clock. I came out of it and I phoned Alain at 2:15. Then I found out that someone in Quebec had said this had happened.
"I think it's terribly unfortunate. I wish that wasn't the case. But it's completely beyond my control."
Daniel Wagner touches on AV's relationship with Rick Bowness, and how he probaby deserved to be let go regardless of Vigneault's fate:
It's not surprising that Bowness is out with Vigneault, considering how long they've worked together. Their connection goes back to when Bowness was the head coach of the Ottawa Senators and Vigneault was one of his assistants. The two may continue to work together in the future, as Vigneault is unlikely to be unemployed for long and may bring Bowness as an assistant to wherever he is hired next.
That said, Bowness was a likely candidate to be fired in any case. The defence was his responsibility and the Canucks were frequently a gong show in their own end this season.
Greg Wyshynski points out that Mike Gillis deserves as much criticism as Vigneault for recent failures, and speculates about where AV could be headed next:
There are likely as many fans who called for the head of Gillis as called for the head of AV. The notion of total regime change for Vancouver probably didn't make sense to ownership, who see the window still open for this edition of the Canucks to win. But the mismanagement by Gills – being too focused on the blue line, adding offensive pieces that didn't pan out – is as much a factor in Vancouver's underwhelming results as anything the coach did.
But it's Vigneault who was always going to pay the price for that. He won't be out of work long, with both the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche openings a possibility for his next move. And what about a Chicago Wolves reunion with Craig MacTavish in Edmonton, if the Oilers decided to make a change?
Bruce McCurdy follows up with some similar thoughts on Mike Gillis's culpability:
One could argue that Gillis didn't exactly deal him or assistants Rick Bowness and Newell Brown a fair hand in 2013-13 when he failed to resolve the goaltending issue, tying up nearly $10 MM in cap hit in the crease while ensuring ongoing discord and controversy. Meanwhile, the Canucks struggled to replace the retired Malhotra or the injured Ryan Kesler or the traded (for plumber Zack Kassian) Cody Hodgson, leaving a hole in the donut on way too many lines on way too many nights. When your second highest scoring centre has 13 points, I'm not sure that's on the coach. Nor is it the coach's fault when his backup goalie makes double the money of his active #2-3-4 pivots combined. ("Hey Bobby Luu, how are you on d-zone draws?")
Still, it's axiomatic that the general manager hires the coach and not the other way round, so no matter who is responsible, the axe is bound to fall on several coaches for every GM that gets the boot. Like so many GMs in so many cities, Gillis gets a do-over, even as his own performance comes increasingly under the microscope.
Three writers from the Province chimed in yesterday. Ed Willies talks about how firing the coaches exposes Gillis:
There are no longer any bodies between Gillis and the door. From this point forward, the success or failure of the Canucks becomes his entire responsibility. There was a time when his unorthodox, money-puck approach seemed to be working for this team; when the analytics, the sleep doctors and the mind room seemed to have the Canucks at the forefront of something new and exciting in the game.
Now? As it turns out, drafting, trading and signing free agents is more important than all those fancy, new-age diversions and the Canucks are now teetering on the verge of chaos because Gillis's work has been substandard in the GM's traditional responsibilites.
Tony Gallagher has been dreaming of this day since the Chicago series in 2009:
It should have come at the end of the 2009 season when Vancouver had a better team than Chicago that season and melted down after they led two games to one and had a one-goal lead in the third period of Game 4 against a team that was ready to be put away.
But the Canucks sat back in a defensive posture, let the Hawks come to them, eventually made a mistake, lost in overtime and then lost the following two games in embarrassing fashion.
That was more than just a first clue of what was to come, and the waste of four more seasons with the terrific roster this team has enjoyed has been torture for those of us who have not been fans of AV's approach to the game.
By all reports, Gillis and Vigneault forged a close relationship over the past five years. Jason Botchford touches on that:
Gillis relishes being a different thinker, and there are not many general managers who would have kept the coach hired by the previous regime.
That's what Gillis did with Vigneault, Dave Nonis's guy, after four long weeks of meetings and a trip to Las Vegas. Together, over time, they forged an odd union. On one side, you had the analytical, progressive executive. On the other, was the blunt, hard-working, defensive minded coach.
It was not always smooth, but for the most part it worked. Whenever it didn't, Gillis would have a counter.
"Who is a better available coach? Who is out there?" he'd ask, knowing there was no easy answer.
Guess we're about to find out.
Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun recalls some of AV's more memorable quotes during his tenure, including this classic that I had forgotten about:
"That was a pretty good day for a little Frenchman from Quebec." — On Alex Burrows, who scored the Game 7 overtime winner versus Chicago April 26, 2011 and then became a first-time father on April 27.
@strombone1 with a poignant tweet:
Since our 1st year when we arrived together, AV would always tell me that he'd be gone before I would. I guess he was right. Very ironic….
—Strombone (@strombone1) May 22, 2013
Conversely, former Canuck Willie Mitchell doesn't seem too torn up about it:
"Listen SON" you will land back on your feet in no time @kbieksa3 @ryan_kesler @strombone1 #canucks#avfired #nhl
— Willie Mitchell (@Willie_Mitch33) May 22, 2013
Finally, Alain Vigneault released a personal statement through the Canucks website:
I am proud of many of the things we accomplished as a group these past seven seasons in Vancouver and only wish we were able to win the Canucks first Stanley Cup. I am a career coach and it is what I love to do. I hope to coach again in this League and will always have good memories of my time and the fans in Vancouver.

Minor makes $200 mil. bid on Maryland racetracks
While his $31 million Landmark Hotel faces an indefinitely long work stoppage while he slugs it out with his lender in court, Internet entrepreneur and Charlottesville native Halsey Minor has reportedly made a $200 million bid to buy a collection of Maryland racetracks, including Baltimore's 139-year-old Pimlico Race Course, home to the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown, the Preakness. Pimlico's current owner Magna Entertainment Corporation has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That's not to say Minor has the cash on hand. Minor tells the Baltimore Sun that in order to make the deal happen, he would sell off some of his assets. In addition to the $200 million purchase, Minor would also either buy or re-structure the company's remaining $225 million debt. A judge will hold a hearing on Minor's and other bids in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware on Wednesday, April 15.

RE the landmark deal... it seems to me that a REAL man would have kept up with the payments and sued for restituion in the courts.
That is not only the proper legal procedure but the proper way to preserve the family name.
If he had been conned into buying a car that was a lemon he should seek redress in the courts but STILL make the payments.
Too bad for him that he created a situation where most people assume he is all talk.
As long as he takes that skeleton with him when he leaves, I'll say good riddance.
Who says he stopped payments before the bank pulled the plug? Minor claims the manager, Danielson, who had been trying to put this hotel deal together for years when he finally sold the idea to to Minor, lied to him about the costs. Halfway into the project, he tells Minor the cost has gone way up. That is Minor's version of the story and I think it deserves equal play.
Additional facts: contractors were left with unpaid invoices in this case and the Ice Park 13 years before. The Ice Park also involved a very wealthy partner & Danielson. Sure, Minor is a more colorful character, but commenters should see the facts are about 50/50 at this point, from what we know of it from the news. And that is all I know of it.
Ethical businessman, are you saying he should have sunk an additional $20 million into the project, if it went down as he says? That would have been $20m cash, because it was in the middle of the banking crisis that the bank pulled the plug and the giant cost overrun came to his attention. Would you have been "ethical" enough to do that, and then try to sue Danielson and the bank afterwards? And hope they had the scratch?
What I am saying is that he should have either made the payments or sought an injunction and escrowed the payments with a third party until things are resolved.
When you are renting a home and the landlord does not fix the heat you still face eviction if the rent is not paid. The proper thing to do is to hire a lawyer and sue for specific performance but give the lawyer the cash to prove TO THE WORLD that you are not just crying a river to get out you obligations.
Sorry to say, he looks like an ass when he could easily have done it differently.
If he stands to lose the 6 million he has already put into it then he should protect that through proper channels.
If he wants to restore the family name then SHOW US THE MONEY.
Since the building is not yet completed then the money is not yet spent. So buy them out and find a new partner.
The judge refused to protect him. Do you think the judge would have ruled the same way if Minor had brought in certified funds for his share and offered to let the court hold them until things are resolved?
I have no axe to grind, I am just giving my opinion of what a truly upstanding man who wants to preserve his good name (and money) would do.
th old saying goes... " if their some doubt, just whip it out"
So...isn't this confirmation that he still has $?
And he's just a ____________ (fill in the blank w/your own epithet)
So when will the lawsuit follow this purchase?
Lawyers must love this guy's money.
Yeah, I don't know either. I just read a detailed timeline the other weekly has assembled:
The judges decision not to stop foreclosure is that last line, but he refused to stop Minor's suit against Silverton.
To tell you the truth, your "ethical businessman" thing sounds like P.R. Sorry if I'm wrong about your intent, but I just don't hear of a lot of $20m ripoffs where the victim keeps paying, whether in escrow or not. If he is a victim. I can read the timeline either way.
We live in a crowded County neighborhood. When our Lab is outside and starts barking, we bring her in immediately. It's only common courtesy for your neighbors.
When my dogs start barking, it means somebody is trespassing on what they have come to know as their property. I want them to bark as loud as they can until I come outside and handle the problem.
My neighbors do not whine. They appreciate well trained watch dogs alerting to the ganagsta wannabes who seem to be tearing this town up lately with vandalisms, car breakins and thefts.
Hidden from my view by a 4 car garage, "Big Dog" chased something out of my yard just the other night when I let her out for a few minutes. It was something big, either a deer or a person, because I heard them hit the chain link fence as they/it jumped over.
Banned is probably too strong a word. However, until you live next door to an irresponsible dog owner who lets their dog(s) bark CONTINUOUSLY at anything that moves, you would like to certainly ban the barking.
This is more an OWNER problem. No, most of you dog owners don't want to read that. You are the ones I am writing about. You are the ones who ignore the ongoing barking of your dogs and when the police come to check out the noise nusiance your precious ones are creating, you feign ignorance to the noise. You say, "they were barking at someone who was trespassing." Etc. Etc. It's time YOU take responsibility for the noise your animal is creating. Quit blaming outside forces for the barking. Your dog is trying to tell you he/she is bored, needs your love, or worse, in pain. If your dog is barking ALL the time, then tell me just how you know when they are barking at a trespasser?!
Our society would never ignore a crying baby for too long. Especially one that is left outside in the elements at all hours. Babies cry for a reason, dogs bark for reason. See what that reason is and take care of your animal. If you are too lazy to tend to your animal's needs then please give the dog away.
Living next door to ignorant dog owners is a nightmare. Trust me, I've been through it to the point where I had to petition my city council to make the noise nusiance laws more victim friendly. It was ME who had to do all the work to gather recorded evidence, a written barking log in order to try to get some peace on my OWN property. It shouldn't be this way. Noise is noise...period! Folks in neighborhoods don't seem to want to make waves with their neighbors by reporting a nusiance noise animal...screw the neighbors. I'm not here to make friends...I'm here to enjoy the sanctity of my home. If I can't sleep at night what the heck do I care if my neighbor likes me? If their dog is what is keeping me awake then they are going to hear about it. NO ONE should have to put up with that!
If you own a dog and call it a member of your family, then just tell me would you leave a family member outside ALL THE TIME?! No, you wouldn't. So don't leave your dog outside to bark at all hours. Get a clue! A dog left outside is not a family member, it's a possession. If this post is making you angry and you own a dog...then more than likely YOU are a dog owner that is irresponsibly letting your dog bark. There's no excuse for your ignorance. Your dog's behavior is likely a reflection of you. SHUT THE DOG UP!
I don't think any ordinance would affect you since this issue is not about dogs or their barking. It is about negligent or spiteful dog owners who choose to allow their dogs to bark for hours.
Kudos to your effort. I couldn't agree with you more!
This is a "Do Unto Others" issue. We need to ban it only if the OWNERS are too inconsiderate or self-centered to monitor their own (and their dogs') behavior.
Let's ban talking while we're at it too. Or a baby crying in a restaurant. Ridiculous question!
True, Lassie.
What annoys me more than a barking dog is the three child care centers being operated out of my neighbor's homes.... one forty yards from my house, and two about 60 yards from my house. There's nothing worse than listening to screaming and yelling children all day long. I should ask the city to compose an ordinance forbidding 3 child care centers within a 40 to 60 yard radius of each other in the city limits. I would absolutely go crazy if God hadn't managed to have somebody invent air conditioning.
Sounds like they need to limit those child center hours. I didn't realize they are open at midnight or 4 AM. Great meaningful point!
Please listen to the Alex Jones Show. Watch "The Obama Deception" and other Alex Jones documentaries. Learn what's really going on behind the closed doors of the Bilderberg group and the illuminati banker scumbags!
Next, let's make a law forbidding the trees to drop their leaves in the fall. The mess that makes is a nuisance. I can't believe my neighbor allows leaves from their trees to fall on my property.
David, get a leaf blower and blow the leaves back onto their property.
Lassie, I feel your sarcasm. :)
But, what about people like my wife, who works a midnight shift and attempts to sleep during the day? Barking dogs, screaming kids.... really, what's the difference?
Well tell me this. Would you rather have 3 kennels outside your house with dogs barking non-stop and at a higher decibel or kids who go out to play at lunch time and leave at the end of the day? I think your wife would prefer the kids but I could be wrong. Perhaps she might want you to not sleep too. WOOOOF!
I think we should keep the dogs and ban the owners. The dogs would be better off. Meow.

Major Dutch banks ING and ABN Amro will introduce MasterCard PayPass contactless payment cards to their customers by mid-2013, making the Netherlands the largest PayPass debit card country in Europe, MasterCard announced on Wednesday.
Using a PayPass card, users will be able to tap their cards against payment terminals to make a transaction. The technology works with RFID (radio frequency identification) chips to connect.
When ABN and ING switch to PayPass, the vast majority of Dutch citizens will have access to contactless payments with their debit cards, said Chris Kangas, MasterCard's head of PayPass product management Europe.
"It will create a heavy impact in the Dutch market," Kangas said. ING serves 8.2 million private customers and ABN says it serves about 6.8 million private customers, while the Dutch population amounts to roughly 16.8 million.
Despite the significant growth in the number of debit card payments in recent years, 63 percent of all retail payments are still cash, ING said. By introducing contactless payments the banks want to make shopping safer and more efficient.
Contactless payments are useful for merchants and retailers, reducing the time customers have to wait at the register to pay for groceries, for instance, said ING spokeswoman Marie-Louise Oster-Mazel. ING will probably limit the PayPass amount that can be used to ¬25 (US$33) or ¬10 per transaction, she said. "And after two or three transactions customers have to re-identify themselves by keying in their PIN code," she added.
Introducing this new technology means that retailers will have to adjust or replace their current point-of-sale terminals, Kangas said. "That is what we hope will happen," he added.
Introducing PayPass in the Netherlands will also pave the way for mobile payments via NFC, MasterCard said. The banks expect consumers will be able to pay with their NFC-enabled smartphones at the register by the second half of 2013.
PayPass is currently available in 41 countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. In Europe, 22 countries are PayPass-enabled with more than 1 million cards issued, according to MasterCard.
"Other markets in Europe have had a more organic growth," Kangas said. The most advanced PayPass using country in Europe to date is Poland where more than 10 percent of all MasterCard and Maestro payments are contactless, but the collaboration with the two big banks will make the Netherlands the largest PayPass country in Europe.

Lynnrockets Returns From The Great White North
Lynnrockets and co. have finally returned from our extended stay in la belle province de Quebec. We left Boston on Friday April 15th and traveled to Canada via bus along with three other busloads of parents, coaches and hockey-playing youngsters.We were fortunate enough to make the trip on one of the parent buses which meant that there was plenty of laughs and booze. We were also lucky enough to have been on the parent bus which had a working bathroom which is very important when you consider that the normally 5 hour drive is extended to 8 hours with rest-room stops, a stop for lunch and the lengthy border-crossing procedure. Although we have no hockey-playing children, we took the bus trip to spend time with our many friends who either coach or had children playing in the cross-national tournament with Montreal.
We arrived in the city at about 4:00 pm, checked into the family friendly Hotel Gouverneur – Place Dupius and promptly headed to the nearest brasserie for one of those famous Montreal smoked meat sandwiches and cheesecake. Next, we met with one of my longtime Montreal friends and his wife at a storied watering hole known as Grumpy's located on Bishop Street. Grumpy's is best known for being a hangout for local writers. Later that evening it was off to a dinner of steak and frites in the French/Belgian tradition with the same couple at a wonderful restaurant on Peel Street.
Immediately upon returning to our hotel at about midnight however, we received a phone message from one of my American friends during which he begged us to rescue him from the dingy lounge that he found and to bring him and two friends to someplace a bit more upscale. We obliged but inasmuch as Montreal cabbies will only take 4 passengers, we were forced to take 2 cabs. I was the only person familiar with the city so I was in a position to do something that I have always wanted to do. I told the second cabbie to "follow that cab" (which was the one I was traveling in). Unfortunately, when we reached our destination, Winnie's on Crescent Street, we soon realized that the second cab did not follow my instructions. Consequently, we lost our companions for the rest of the evening. On a positive note, the 3 of us enjoyed the club and returned to the hotel at about 3:30 am. Great first night.
After the children's hockey game on Saturday morning, a few of us took a walking tour of Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal). Old Montreal is a major tourist draw; with the oldest of its buildings dating to the 17th century, it is one of the oldest urban areas in North America. Architecture and cobbled streets in Old Montreal have been maintained or restored to keep the look of the city in its earliest days as a settlement, and horse-drawn calèches help maintain that image.
Later that evening as the hockey parents and coaches attended a banquet with their Canadian counterparts, we met up with a few more of my Canadian friends for the purpose of watching the Boston Bruins face-off against the Montreal Canadiens in Game Two of their best of seven playoff series. Our beloved Bruins had lost Game One in Boston on Thursday and this would be the second game in that city. We were taken to a famous sports brasserie (Le Manoir) in Pointe Claire. The place was a massive undulating sea of patrons wearing their Bleu, Blanc et Rouge Montreal Canadian jerseys. Unfortunately, I was more than conspicuous in my vintage 1992 Bruins throwback jersey and the home crowd let me know it with a series of boos and insults throughout the night. To add insult to injury, the Canadiens won Game Two as well.
Our Boston friends and their children left Montreal for home early on Sunday afternoon in those cursed buses. We switched hotels to one more centrally located and spent the next two days shopping, eating (too much) and sightseeing. If you ever find yourselves in Montreal, make sure that you visit Moishes Steak House for one of the best meals you might ever experience. It is quite pricey but it is worth every penny to not only enjoy the meal but to take a step back in time to 1938 as the restaurant has changed little since. On Monday night we watched Game Three of the Bruins/Canadiens series at a pub on Crescent Street. In an attempt to change the Bruins' luck, I donned the gold, black and white jersey which the Bruins wore in the 2010 outdoor Winter Classic game at Boston's Fenway Park and my wife wore the 1992 throwback jersey. It worked in two ways. First, we were not heckled nearly as much as on Saturday night and secondly, the Bruins won!
After their win, the Bruins traveled to Lake Placid for some R & R before their Game 4 back in Montreal and we engaged in some more eating, drinking, shopping and sightseeing. There are more than enough things to see in Montreal including but not limited to the Biosphere, La Basilique Notre Dame, numerous museums, the casino, the Stade Olympique and of course, the Bell Centre (home of the Canadiens). On Thursday night we traveled to a friend's home in Beaconsville to watch the game. We wore the same Bruins jerseys and the Bruins rewarded us with a big win in overtime. The series was now tied at two games apiece.
Friday consisted of some leisurely strolling along the ethnically diverse concourse known as Sainte Laurent Avenue. That evening we met up with yet another old friend who took the trouble to travel in from Toronto to see us. We took a ride out to Dollard des Ormeaux to visit his parents but the journey ended suddenly with a climactic car wreck resulting in the vehicle's total loss but luckily, no serious injuries. Without going into too much detail, the accident involved our friend's car, a light pole, a pedestrian carrying two bottles of wine and a liquor store, in that order. After the car was towed away and a rental was secured we all went to dinner on Good Friday evening. The rental was used to bring us back to our hotel without incident.
We indulged in more shopping and eating during the first half of Holy Saturday. That evening we went to yet another friend's home in Lachine for dinner and to watch Game 5. The teams were now in Boston but we were still in Montreal. We wore the same two Bruins jerseys and our luck held out as the team won yet again, this time in double overtime. The Bruins have now won three straight games and lead the series 3 to 2 with a potentially decisive Game 6 to be played in Montreal tonight (Tuesday).
We flew back to Boston on Easter Sunday and resumed our usual daily affairs including the blog known as Lynnrockets' Blast-Off. Our dog is more than excited to have us back. We too, missed her dearly. Now it is three to the bed once again. It was a wonderful trip but it always feels good to come home. Rest assured that eight fingers and two paws will be crossed tonight for the big Game 6! And yes, we will don the same Bruins jerseys.
If you missed Game 5, please watch this highlight video-clip to get a taste for the excitement of this series:

Republican News
Republican News
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young (both R-Alaska) today sent a letter to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe insisting that commercial hunting and fishing guides and air taxi operators with valid permits be allowed to continue to operate in National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska.
Unlike other Department of the Interior agencies, the USFWS has taken steps to prohibit access to refuges in Alaska. USFWS managers notified guides and other operators across the state at the beginning of October – a critical time for Alaskans who depend on hunting and fishing for their livelihood – that special-use permits were being suspended during the federal government shutdown.
Murkowski and Young said the decision violated Alaskans' right to access their lands under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) and was unnecessarily harming the ability of Alaskans to hunt, fish, and earn a living.
"Many Alaskans depend upon air taxi operators for their rightful access to lands that provide sustenance for subsistence purposes. By suspending air taxi permits, the USFWS has effectively disallowed basic access rights legally granted through Section 1110(a) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). Under that law, Alaska's Refuges are mandatorily open to hunting and access is guaranteed," Murkowski and Young wrote. "Further, the National Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act of 1997 made hunting a priority public use. More important, once hunting is found to be a compatible activity in a Refuge, the Act requires the USFWS to facilitate it. While the agency may not have funds to actively facilitate hunting during the shutdown, there is no question that any closure edict runs contrary to the letter and spirit of this law, as well."
The 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska cover 76.8 million acres – all managed by the USFWS.
"You must understand that your actions are having a dramatic impact on many Alaskans' ability to feed and care for themselves. You have denied access and closed lands that Alaskans depend on, and which are legally required to remain open. We urge you to immediately revoke your agency's current order and closures and to fully afford Alaskans the rights granted to them under federal law," Murkowski and Young wrote.
The full letter is available on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee website.

(CNN) – President Barack Obama's trip Friday to a toy factory outside Philadelphia was getting negative reviews from Republicans before he even left town – House Speaker John Boehner accused Obama on Thursday of taking a "victory lap" instead of getting serious about budget negotiations.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the number three House Republican, released a video Friday profiling another small business owner in Pennsylvania who says Obama's pledge to raise taxes on families making more than $250,000 per year would harm entrepreneurs.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
"This notion of $250,000 being the top 2% or the wealthy people in America ignores the way most small businesses work in America," Jerry Gorski says in the spot. He owns Gorski Engineering, located 15 miles from the toy manufacturing plant where Obama will speak Friday.
"We just went through a horrible climate where our work was off 40%. We had to lay people off. We have trucks that have super high mileage. We have ten-year-old technology for our computers," Gorski continues in the web video from McCarthy, the Majority Whip.
"We went through every bit of money that we set aside for a rainy day but it's been a long rainy day," he continues. "And now our company has figured out how to survive in this economy and how to be successful in this economy and the first thing we want to do with any income I have is tax it? That's uncertainty."
McCarthy said in a statement Obama was flying to Pennsylvania "in full campaign mode to make the argument to the American people that tax rate increases are the only solution to our nation's economic woes."
"He's wrong. What our country needs is a boost in economic growth so our job creators, like Jerry Gorski, can start hiring again," McCarthy said.
A White House official said the trip was meant to highlight a business that "depends on middle class consumers" and would see business decrease if taxes are raised on middle-income Americans.
The dueling messages speak to each side's goals in negotiating a deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff," which would slash budgets and trigger an increase in taxes at the end of the year. Democrats say taxes must be raised on upper-income earners, while tax breaks for middle class families should be extended. Republicans agree that middle class families should maintain lower tax rates, but disagree that rates should rise for top earners.
The GOP opposition stems from the fact that many small businesses file taxes on an individual return, meaning an increase in taxes for top earners would affect the rates they pay. Republicans also claim the people and businesses earning north of $250,000 are "job creators," and that raising their tax burden would slow hiring.
During the presidential campaign, Obama pushed back on those arguments, saying "97 percent of small businesses fall under the $250,000 threshold."
He said in July his tax proposals weren't about "taxing job creators, this is about helping job creators. I want to give them relief. I want to give those 97 percent a sense of permanence."
He hammered rival Mitt Romney for using the "small business" argument against higher taxes, saying it was merely an attempt to protect the country's wealthiest businessmen.
"Under Governor Romney's definition, there are a whole bunch of millionaires and billionaires who are small businesses," Obama said at the first presidential debate. "Donald Trump is a small business. Now, I know Donald Trump doesn't like to think of himself as small anything - but that's how you define small businesses if you're getting business income."
Hey Boner! The majority of the American people recognize the fact that these "job creators" have not created any jobs since the biggest tax cut in decades. The majority or the American people want to see the taxes on the 2% go up. I think they should go way up, back to the rates when Ike was in office. Try 91%. Hey Boner! Why not start representing the people that mistakenly put YOU in office. Come on 2012. We are gonna remember you Boner and your whole useless party.
Take the fight to their constituents, you know, the ones that elected Obama for his plan. Fewer Republicans in 2014!
This co call president is disaster for America.
Most sane people know that to get out of dept you stop spending. You find ways to get more money but you have to stop spending. The Democrats and Obama only want to raise taxes. Look at what they have proposed. Not raising entitlement programs as much is not a cut. Cuts to budgets mean less money not going up less.
Still trying to undermine the president, who won every swing state battle of the election in a decisive victory. The American people have spoken. The election is over. The GOP needs to start acting like adults.
Obama also said it would be irresponsible to raise taxes in a recession. I don't think anyone would call this a recovery.
Patrick, Obama has proposed cuts, including those on medicare. We need cuts, but we also need to increase taxes and tax reform. As an individual whose income will suffer a tax increase under Obama, I agree that taxes need to be increased and I am willing to pay them. Its my patriotic duty.
It is time for the party of NO to learn to say YES if they intend to stay relevant.
In this nation of 300+ million and with plenty of money available, Republicans can always find few people to pose for a video to air their views.
Give up Mr. Speaker and Mitch M. Your BS did not sell during election and not even now.
Get down to do common mans job for which your are elected.
People have spoken. Now shut up and pass Presidents proposals.
John Boehner and Eric Cantor and Republicans obstructionist ideology was rejected. The current Republican leaders are making their own party more and more irrelevant. Boehner, Cantor and McConnell's leadership in Congress has been a monumental failure.
I thought the political ad season was over....sadly, it looks like the GOP is only just beginning their new attack campaign for 2014 (or 2016?).
........COME ON PEOPLE..........the additional tax rates apply to income OVER $250K. EVERYBODY get the continuation of tax reductions UP TO $250K. Therefore..............ALL Americans will continue receiving a tax break.
Lynda, its fun to needle Rick, especially since he has to wake up every morning to a world where Obama ran the table of swing states. You're right about his banal comments that are devoid of reason and reality, but I'm enjoying seeing his discomfort and his utter lack of patriotism on display.
Most sane people know that to get out of dept you stop spending. You find ways to get more money but you have to stop spending. The Democrats and Obama only want to raise taxes. Look at what they have proposed. Not raising entitlement programs as much is not a cut. Cuts to budgets mean less money not going up less.
Then do nothing and let sequestration kick in, if cutting spending is the only thing that concerns you.
Geez, how many reports showing that only 3% of "small businesses" make over $250,000 do we need to produce before republicans stop using the excuse that these taxes would hurt half of the small businesses? How many elections do republicans need to lose before they understand that the people don't want what they are selling?
FDR gave us the "New Deal"... The GOP offers us the "Raw Deal"...

D-backs close to hiring Duncan to oversee pitching
Longtime coach for La Russa set to work with hurlers throughout organization
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The D-backs are on the verge of signing Dave Duncan as their top pitching consultant, Kevin Towers told MLB.com on Tuesday during the second day of the General Managers and Owners Meetings.
The longtime pitching coach under manager Tony La Russa with the White Sox, A's and Cardinals would oversee the pitching for the entire Arizona organization and help in the selection of a Major League pitching coach to replace the dismissed Charles Nagy, Towers said.
"I'd say we're on the 5-yard line on this and that there's a very good chance he's going to be with us in a capacity," Towers said of Duncan. "It won't be as our pitching coach, but he'll be the pitching consultant and special assistant to the GM. With Dave, he's going to set his own schedule and it will depend on what he wants to do and what he's capable of doing.
"During Spring Training, be available to work with pitchers, catchers and pitching coaches as they're preparing for a game. Breaking down video of pitchers we might be considering for the Draft. Plus, targeting guys in our system and getting his input -- who he likes, who is close."
Towers also said that his search for a power-hitting corner outfielder in the trade or free-agent market might be tempered by a positive medical report on the condition of Cody Ross, who has progressed enough from surgery on a fractured right hip that he may be ready to rejoin the team for this coming season.
Ross fractured and dislocated the hip on Aug. 11 at Chase Field while running out a grounder to first base. He was carted off the field after his spikes caught in the dirt. He fell to the ground and the hip popped out of the socket, shattering a bone that forced reconstructive surgery.
"Our trainers are saying on Cody that he's ahead of schedule, so it's looking more and more like he'll be ready to start the season," Towers said. "All I know is that it's full weight-bearing now, that he's able to walk. I don't think that he's done anything baseball specific in the way of running, but barring any setbacks, he should be there for the start of Spring Training."
Ross signed a three-year contract as a free agent last offseason that could be worth as much as $34.5 million with a fourth-year buyout. Because of various injuries, he played in only 94 games this past season, hitting .278 with eight homers and 38 RBIs.
Towers had said that his top priorities this offseason would be to obtain a front-of-the-rotation starter and add a power-hitting corner outfielder. Both spots are open because Towers traded Justin Upton to the Braves last January and Ian Kennedy to the Padres at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. To that end, he's done his due diligence by talking to a number of fellow GMs here this week, setting the groundwork for possible future deals.
"We've been targeting clubs that we feel we match up well with," Towers said. "We've talked less here probably with agents. Players that we're targeting are probably going to be frontline people, so it's going to take multiple players from our side."
The D-backs have a starting staff anchored by young left-handers Patrick Corbin and Wade Miley, and right-handers Trevor Cahill and Brandon McCarthy. Left-hander Tyler Skaggs bounced between the Majors and Triple-A Reno last season, and Double-A sensation Archie Bradley has been invited to camp with Towers hopeful he'll make the team.
Towers has been methodically replacing coaches since the end of the season, when he dismissed Nagy and first-base coach Steve Sax, and hitting coach Don Baylor left for the same post with the Angels.
Adding the 68-year-old Duncan -- a catcher by trade -- in any capacity should have a major impact on the organization's pitching staff from the big leagues to Minors. Duncan had a long and successful career with La Russa, joining him in Chicago in 1983. Duncan left the Cardinals indefinitely in 2012 to aid his wife, Jeanine, who had cancer and passed away this June.
Towers said the formal announcement of Duncan joining the D-backs is pending his signing a contract and passing a background check.
"I'd like this to happen sooner rather than later, because I'd like to have him involved next week as part of the interview process for a pitching coach," Towers said. "Gibby [Manager Kirk Gibson] is going to be back on Monday. We've gotten permission to talk to four or five guys externally, as well as a couple of internal candidates, who we haven't reached out to yet. Hopefully we'll have one hired by the end of next week."

The Hollyhocks
Dan Jewett and his pal Kristin Sobditch layer on guitar dreaminess, while bassist Yuri Jewett and Kristin share their sonic stories. The Hollyhocks will take you on a journey through a forest of lush instrumentation. Along the way, you will stumble across some pretty female harmonies and they will invite you inside to stay warm. But don't be fooled, their lyrics are darker than you think. Good thing drummer Jason Silverio leaves behind enough beats and breadcrumbs for you to find your way back home.
After a year in the studio, The Hollyhocks, working with producer Allen Clapp (Orange Peels), have completed their debut album Understories. The album features an eclectic mix of interwoven, layered guitar combined and lush female vocal harmony that have made the Hollyhocks favorites locally. Inspired by such artists as the New Pornographers and Throwing Muses, the band took the time to sonically grow together before setting out on last year's recording adventure with Clapp. The results are obvious as the songs range in texture and intensity, but always capture that unique hint of Oakland flavor with a pinch of optimism and a dash of darkness.
Custom Kicks
The Custom Kicks are a punk band with a power fop feel. Their sound is directly influenced by bands such as The Rezillos, The Dickies, and The Zeros. Although fronted by Guitarist, Kate McClure, all members sing in both English and Japanese. Members include Adachi Herouki on Bass (member of local acts The Pleasure Kills/Basements XOXO) Miki Kodoma on Keys (XMember of Japanese Thrash/Metal band Little Princess) and Jordan Christensen on Drums (XMember of Riverboat Gamblers) They most recently released a 7″ on Silver Sprocket.
Minor Kingdoms
Minor Kingdom was born in a Minneapolis bedroom in the fall of 2007. What started as a solo recording outlet for frontman and songwriter Kristian Melom quickly grew to a collaborative platform, housing over twenty rotating members. Assembled around a unique cast of professional musicians; the group fuses elements of post-rock, folk, and blues to create an eclectic genre they can call their own. The music has recently drawn comparisons to other artists: Wilco, Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon and Bonnie Prince Billy among others.
Over the past four years Minor Kingdom have released two albums, toured the Midwest and gained national exposure playing for local radio stations. The project has recently relocated to San Francisco, CA where Kristian is planning a solo West Coast tour to support the group's latest release entitled "Don't Worry Baby."

I am a member of the Zero Waste Team here at the Environmental Center and I am very excited about the project I'm working on this year! Emma Kurfis, another Zero Waste Team member, and I are working on a Zero Waste Event Service Guide specific to Fort Lewis College. This guide will be available to everyone on campus and hopefully used by all of the event coordinators. We can also directly get involved with event coordinators to tailor the service to their specific event. To gain experience in the event planning process, we are working on several pilot events in which we partner with event coordinators to reduce the amount of waste produced at event. Skyfest is our next big pilot event, taking place on April 7th.
Skyfest is a big music festival put on by Student Union Productions at Fort Lewis each year, with headliner bands Gramatik and Radical Something making appearances at this year's festival. Local bands will also play at the event. As part of the EC's zero waste event service, Emma and I are working with the coordinators of Skyfest to reduce waste in as many aspects of the event as possible. This event is our first large pilot event to test out the service and in the organizing we have learned how challenging it can be to make an event less wasteful. There are so many areas to consider when planning a zero waste event, some of which are not in our control, as we are not the coordinators of the event. However, the coordinators are very open to our suggestions, which is awesome! Members of SUP have been supportive of our ideas and came up with a few ideas themselves. One of the main goals of our event servicing is to provide zero waste ideas and ingrain zero waste concepts in the minds of the coordinators, so that eventually event planners may attempt to make events less wasteful on their own.
There are several major aspects of Skyfest where we are working on to reduce the amount of waste produced. The first is trash. Ideally, we would like to have no trash produced at the event but this is highly unrealistic being that we can't regulate what food or disposable items people bring into the event. However, we will be providing several recycling stations in the event to divert as as many recyclable items from landfills as possible. We are recruiting volunteers to help watch over the stations to ensure everything is recycled properly, as contamination is a huge problem with recycling here at Fort Lewis. This will also be a chance for us to spread some education on recycling to the campus community.
The second aspect of the event we are working with is water. When we first talked to the coordinators, they were going to provide bottled water for guests and the bands. We decided to set up water refilling stations instead. With the help of the Athletic Department, we secured several large water jugs for the event that we will refill throughout the event. Students are not allowed to bring full water bottles into the event but if they bring empty drink containers, they can fill them at the stations. There will also be a jug backstage for the bands. The coordinators of Skyfest are purchasing reusable plastic cups that they will hand out to anyone who does not have a water bottle. The cups can be taken home by guests and used or given back to the Skyfest coordinators to be washed and reused at different events.
At Skyfest, we will have an Environmental Center interactive table to teach people about zero waste, specifically recycling. There will be a game called the "Wheel of Recycling" that guests can take part in. After the event, we plan to measure our results by weighing how much trash and recycling were generated at the event. We can potentially take these statistics every year and compare results, aiming to reduce the amounts annually.
As you can imagine, the process of planning zero waste events can take a lot of time and can be very difficult. This process also involves lots of collaboration with other campus and sometimes community partners, and can also build great connections.
If you would like to volunteer to help with the waste reduction practices at Skyfest, please email one of us (below) or drop by the Environmental Center and sign up. The event is on Sunday, April 7th from noon to 9:30 p.m. in the Whalen Gymnasium. The event is free for students and $15 for community members, with tickets available in the SUP office in the Student Union. Come support Fort Lewis College and the environment!
For more information about the zero waste aspects of the event or the Zero Waste Event Servicing, you can email me (email@example.com) or Emma Kurfis (email@example.com) or stop by the Environmental Center! For more information about Skyfest, you can visit the SUP office in the Student Union.

About the photo:
Longworth is a very pretty village full of timber framed and thatched cottages, just south of the River Thames in western Oxfordshire. There is no particular attraction at Longworth; its just a very enjoyable, peaceful village full of period buildings. This photo shows the parish church, with an old table tomb, of the sort common in the 17th and 18th century.

Mac OSX - click on System Preferences, then Displays, then the Display Tab (should be showing by default). Your current resolution will be highlighted.
Images are set to a gamma of 2.2, which is pretty much industry standard for image display and printing. The only trouble is that Mac monitors generally have a gamma set to 1.8 by default, which means that images MAY appear slightly washed out, or show colours not quite as intended. You can reset your monitor's gamma easily on a Mac. Do a simple search for 'reset gamma Mac' on Google. And in case anyone thinks we're putting Mac users second, let me reassure you that we use both Macs and Windows machines at Britain Express!
