PRINCETON, NJ. "America is a big mess" when it comes to transportation and infrastructure, according to former U.S. Sec. of Transportation Ray LaHood. "Our infrastructure is probably the worst it has ever been in the history of our country – American is one big pothole," he told fleet and other trucking industry executives at the 2014 ALK Technology Summit.
The problem is insufficient funds from the Federal fuel tax to keep up with infrastructure requirements, the former DOT chief said. "Here's the really bad news," he said. "The Highway Trust Fund (HTF), which is the fund that all of you contribute to when you buy a gallon of gas, which is the fund that built the Interstate, which is the fund that built roads and bridges all over America for the last hundred years, that fund will be broke by the end of the summer. And no one in Washington is talking about how to fix it."
Worse, the two-year authorization act that governs collection of fuel taxes expires in September, and Congress seems to have little appetite for passing a new authorization bill before the November election, the former Republican congressman said.
The solution is a return to six-year authorization bills that bring some continuity to infrastructure investment and an increase in the Federal fuel tax indexed to inflation, according to LaHood. Acknowledging that "trucking already pays a lot of taxes," he told the group rebuilding a sound transportation network "requires the resources to do it. The idea of raising the gas tax is not a novel idea; it's a needed idea."
LaHood predicted that Congress will avoid a highway bill "so they won't have to take a vote on raising taxes before the elections." Instead, he believes they will vote for a temporary fix before the summer recess in August by authorizing a transfer from the general fund to the HTF that will keep it solvent until after the November elections. "That's a disaster because there's no vision," he said. "It's just enough to diddle along."
"The way to stop it is not that complicated," LaHood said. "Elect people who want to carry on the rich tradition [of investing in American infrastructure]; not the naysayers, but people who want to vote to solve problems, to do big thing, to keep America moving forward."
LaHood, who served as Transportation Secretary from 2009 until last July, also urged the industry to "educate Washington" about trucking's current state of art technology. "You are so far ahead on the technology side…you need to bring some of your smart people to the table with members of Congress so they know all the things you're doing. … We need to use good technology and you're way ahead of the curve on this."

Save Money Making Biweekly Mortgage PaymentsApril 19th, 2010
It's important to understand the benefits of biweekly mortgage payments because the savings are significant.
A lender will collect about 3 times the amount of the mortgage loan you borrowed from the interest. This can equate to hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest you pay. Ouch! The best way to eliminate a lot of the interest you pay to your lender is by setting up your mortgage payments on a biweekly schedule.
Here is a real example of the savings when paying your mortgage biweekly:
Loan amount is $200,000 and the interest rate is 5% on a 30 year loan. The total amount of interest saved is $34,356.58 and the term is reduced by 4 years and 9 months.
Here is a biweekly mortgage calculator you can use to see the savings on your personal mortgage loan: Biweekly Mortgage Calculator.
One of the best things about a biweekly payments is that you can start at anytime. Even if you have 10 years left on your mortgage, the amount of interest you save in 10 years is still very significant.
Here is a site to educate yourself about the benefits of biweekly payments and see what industry experts have to say.

I'm Aimee, mum and wife. Our days in New Zealand. Adventuring, at home, and sometimes travelling. I sew sometimes and crochet on even more occasionally. I like to delude myself I'm creative.
We love to travel. I hate to fly. Wine helps with that. Actually wine helps most things. Except quilting, wine doesn't help quilting. Take my word for it.

I chose a neutral colour scheme for the card using the beautiful Bella Blue papers from Stampin' Up!, with kraft card to layer it up. I have punched a decorative boarder using very vanilla card, then I wrapped kraft taffetta ribbon around and added a bow. I made the fancy beaded pin with the pretties kit and added one of the large pearls for the centre of the flowers, the sentiment was printed out and I used the oval punches to layer it up.
Well my blog is all up to date, and my craft room is tidy, so after I have finished my ironing and maybe hoovered the car, weather permitting, I wil be visiting my favourite blogs!!!!

His hands folded in half, fingers at 90 degrees to the palms with palms facing. Her hands are cupped, with her palms to the back of the lead`s fingers and her fingers folded over top. Thumbs are joined to the other fingers.. Arms are parallel, elbows slightly bent and her forearms are parallel to the floor. There is feeling of resistance between them called connection.

A Narrative History
"Dogfight Over England"
P/O Roger Hall
Clouds of Fear
The Battle of Britain
, Frank Wootten
We were ready to attack. We were now in the battle area and three-quarters of an hour had elapsed since we had taken off. The two bomber formations furthest from us were already being attacked by a considerable number of our fighters.
and Hurricanes appeared to be in equal numbers at the time. Some of the German machines were already falling out of their hitherto ordered ranks and floundering towards earth. There was a little ack-ack fire coming up from somewhere on the ground although its paucity seemed pathetic and its effect was little more than that of a defiant gesture.
We approached the westernmost bomber formation from the front port quarter, but we were some ten thousand feet higher than they were and we hadn't started to dive yet. Immediately above the bombers were some twin-engined fighters, ME 110s. Maida Leader let the formation get a little in front of us then he gave the order "Going down now Maida aircraft," turning his machine upside-down as he gave it. The whole of "A" Flight, one after the other, peeled off after him, upside-down at first and then into a vertical dive.
When they had gone "B" Flight followed suit. Ferdie and turned over with a hard leftward pressure to the stick to bring the starboard wing up to right angles to the horizon, and some application to the port or bottom rudder pedal to keep the nose from rising. Keeping the controls like this, the starboard wing fell over until it was parallel to the horizon again, but upside-down. Pulling the stick back from this position the nose of my machine fell towards the ground and followed White one in front, now going vertically down on to the bombers almost directly below us. Our speed started to build up immediately. It went from three hundred miles per hour to four or more .... Red Section had reached the formation and had formed into a loosened echelon to starboard as they attacked. They were coming straight down on top of the bombers, having gone slap through the protective ME 110 fighter screen, ignoring them completely.
Now it was our turn. With one eye on our own machines I slipped out slightly to the right of Ferdie and placed the red dot of my sight firmly in front and in line with the starboard engine of a Dornier vertically below me and about three hundred yards off. I felt apprehensive lest I should collide with our own machines in the melee that was to ensue. I seemed to see one move ahead what the positions of our machines would be, and where I should be in relation to them if I wasn't careful. I pressed my trigger and through my inch thick windscreen I saw the tracers spirallign away hitting free air in front of the bomber's engine. I was allowing too much deflection. I must correct. I pushed the stick further forward. My machine was past the vertical and I was feeling the effect of the negative gravity trying to throw me out of the machine, forcing my body up into the perspex hood of the cockpit. My Sutton harness was biting into my shoulders and blood was forcing its way to my head, turning everything red. My tracers were hitting the bomber's engine and bits of metal were beginning to fly off it. I was getting too close to it, much too close. I knew I must pull away but I seemed hypnotised and went still closer .... I pulled away just in time to miss hitting the Dornier's starboard wing tip. I turned my machine to the right on ailerons and heaved back on the stick, inflicting a terrific amount of gravity on to the machine. I was pressed down into the cockpit again and a black veil came over my eyes and I could see nothing.
I eased the stick a little to regain my vision and to look for Ferdie. I saw a machine, a single Spitfire, climbing up after a dive about five hundred yards in front of me and flew after it for all I was worth. I ... soon caught up with it -- in fact I overshot it. It was Ferdie all right. I could see the "C" Charlie alongside our squadron letters on his fuselage. I pulled out to one side and back again hurling my machine at the air without any finesse, just to absorb some speed so that Ferdie could catch up with me. "C" Charlie went past me and I thrust my throttle forward lest I should lose him. i got in behind him again and called him up to tell him so. He said: "Keep an eye out behind and don't stop weaving." I acknowledged his message and started to fall back a bit to get some room. Ferdie had turned out to the flank of the enemy formation and had taken a wide sweeping orbit to port, climbing fast as he did so. I threw my aircraft first on to its port wing-tip to pull it round, then fully over to the other tip for another steep turn, and round again and again, blacking out on each turn. We were vulnerable on the climb, intensely so, for we were so slow.
I saw them coming quite suddenly on a left turn; red tracers coming towards us from the centre of a large black twin-engined ME 110 which wasn't quite far enough in the sun from us to be totally obscured, though I had to squint to identify it. I shouted to Ferdie but he had already seen the tracers flash past him and had discontinued his port climbing turn and had started to turn over on his back and to dive. I followed, doing the same thing, but the ME 110 must have done so too for the tracers were still following us. We dived for about a thousand feet, I should think, and I kept wondering why my machine had not been hit.
Ferdie started to ease his dive a bit. I watched him turn his machine on to its side and stay there for a second, then its nose came up, still on its side, and the whole aircraft seemed to come round in a barrel-roll as if clinging to the inside of some revolving drum. I tried to imitate this manouevre but I didn't know how to, so I just thrust open the throttle and aimed my machine in Ferdie's direction and eventually caught him up.
The ME 110 had gone off somewhere. I got up to Ferdie and slid once more under the doubtful protection of his tail and told him I was there. I continued to weave like a pilot inspired, but my inspiration was the result of pure terror and nothing more.
All the time we were moving towards the bombers; but we moved indirectly by turns, and that was the only way we could move with any degree of immunity now. Four Spitfires flashed past in front of us .... There was a lot of talking going on on the ether and we seemed to be on the same frequency as a lot of other squadrons. "Hallo Firefly Yellow Section -- 110 behind you" -- "Hallo Cushing Control -- Knockout Red leader returning to base to refuel." "Close up Knockout "N" for Nellie and watch for those 109s on your left" -- "All right Landsdown Squadron -- control answering -- your message received -- many more bandits coming from the east -- over" -- "Talker White two where the bloody hell are you?" .... "I don't know Blue one but there are some bastards up there on the left -- nine o' clock above" -- Even the Germans came in intermittently: "Achtung, Achtung -- drei Spitfeuer unter, unter Achtung, Spitfeuer, Spitfeuer." .... "Yes I can see Rimmer leader -- Red two answering -- glycol leak I think -- he's getting out -- yes he's baled out he's o.k."
And so it went on incessantly, disjointed bits of conversation coming from different units all revealing some private little episode in the great battle ....
Two 109s were coming up behind the four Spitfires and instinctively I found myself thrusting forward my two-way radio switch to the transmitting position and calling out "Look out those four Spitfires -- 109s behind you -- look out." .... The two 109s had now settled themselves on the tail of the rear Spitfire and were pumping cannon shells into it. We were some way off but Ferdie too saw them and changed direction to starboard, opening up his throttle as we closed. The fourth Spitfire, or "tail end Charlie", had broken away, black smoke pouring from its engine, and the third in line came under fire now from the same 109. We approached the two 109s from above their starboard rear quarter and, taking a long deflection shot from what must have been still out of range, Ferdie opened fire on the leader. The 109 didn't see us for he still continued to fire at number three until it too started to trail Glycol from its radiator and turned over on its back breaking away from the remaining two .... At last number one turned steeply to port, with the two 109s still hanging on to their tails now firing at number two. They were presenting a relatively stationary target to us now for we were directly behind them. Ferdie's bullets were hitting the second 109 now and pieces of its tail unit were coming away and floating past underneath us. The 109 jinked to starboard. The leading Spitfire followed by its number two had now turned full circle in a very tight turn and as yet it didn't seem that either of them had been hit. The 109 leader was vainly trying to keep into the same turn but couldn't hold it tight enough so I think his bullets were skidding past the starboard of the Spitfires. The rear 109s tail unit disintegrated under Ferdie's fire and a large chunk of it slithered across the top surface of my starboard wing, denting the panels but making no noise. I put my hand up to my face for a second.
The fuselage of the 109 fell away below us and we came into the leader. I hadn't fired at it yet but now I slipped out to port of Ferdie as the leader turned right steeply and over on to its back to show its duck egg blue belly to us. I came up almost to line abreast of Ferdie ... and fired at the under surface of the German machine, turning upside-down with it. The earth was now above my perspex hood and I was trying to keep my sights on the 109 in this attitude, pushing my stick forward to do so. Pieces of refuse rose up from the floor of my machine and the engine spluttered and coughed as the carburetor became temporarily starved of fuel. My propeller idled helplessly for a second and my harness straps bit into my shoulders again. Flames leapt from the engine of the 109 but at the same time there was a loud bang from somewhere behind me and I heard "Look out Roger" as a large hole appeared near by starboard wing-tip throwing up the matt-green metal into a ragged rent to show the naked aluminum beneath.
I broke from the 109 and turned steeply to starboard throwing the stick over to the right and then pulling it back into me and blacking out at once. Easing out I saw three 110s go past my tail in "V" formation but they made no attempt to follow me round. "Hallo Roger -- Are you O.K.?" I heard Ferdie calling. "I think so -- where are you?" I called back.
"I'm on your tail -- keep turning" came Ferdie's reply. Thank God, I thought. Ferdie and I seemed to be alone in the sky .... Ferdie came up in "V" on my portside telling me at the same time that he thought we had better try to find the rest of the squadron.
....Ferdie set course to the north where we could see in the distance the main body of aircraft. London with its barrage balloons floating unconcernedly, like a flock of grazing sheep, ten thousand feet above it, was no feeling the full impact of the enemy bombers. Those that had got through -- and the majority of them had -- were letting their bombs go ....
....I wondered what the people were like who were fighting the Battle of Britain just as surely as we were doing but in less spectacular fashion. I thought of the air raid wardens shepherding their flocks to the air raid trenches without a thought of their own safety; the Auxiliary Firemen and the regular fire brigades who were clambering about the newly settled rubble strewn with white-hot and flaming firders and charred wood shiny black with heat, to pull out the victims buried beneath; the nurses ... in their scarlet cloaks and immaculate white caps and cuffs, who were also clambering about the shambles to administer first aid to the wounded and give morphine to the badly hurt .... Not least I thought of the priests and clergy who would also be there, not only to administer the final rites to the dying but to provide an inspiration to those who had lost faith or through shock seemed temporarily lost ....
I felt humble when I thought of what was going on down there on the ground. We weren't the only people fighting the Battle of Britain. There were the ordinary people ... all going about their jobs quietly yet heroically and without any fuss or complaint .....
We were now in the battle area once again and the fighting had increased its tempo. The British fighters were becoming more audacious, had abandoned any restraint that they might have had at the outset, and were allowing the bombers no respite at all. If they weren't able to prevent them from reaching their target they were trying desperately to prevent them from getting back to their bases in Northern France. The air was full of machines, the fighters, British and German, performing the most fantastic and incredibly beautiful evolutions. Dark oily brown streams of smoke and fire hung in the sky from each floundering aircraft, friend or foe, as it plunged to its own funeral pyre miles below on the English countryside. The sky, high up aloft, was an integrated medley of white tracery, delicately woven and interwoven by the fighters as they searched for their opponents. White puffs of ack-ack fire hung limply in mid-air and parachute canopies drifted slowly towards the ground.
....Beneath us at about sixteen thousand feet, while we were at twenty-three, there were four
by themselves still goign north and I presumed, for that reason, they hadn't yet dropped their bombs. Ferdie had seen them and was making for them. Three Hurricanes in line astern were delivering a head-on attack in a slightly echeloned formation. It was an inspiring sight, but the Dorniers appeared unshaken as the Hurricanes flew towards them firing all the time. Then the one on the port flank turned sharply to the left, jettisoning its bomb load as it went. The leading Hurricane got on its tail and I saw a sheet of flame spring out from somewhere near its centre section and billow back over the top surface of it s wing, increasing in size until it had enveloped the entire machine except the extreme tips of its two wings. I didn't look at it anymore.
We were now approaching the remaining three Dorniers and we came up directly behind them in line astern .... I slid outside Ferdie and settled my sight on [a] Dornier's starboard engine nacelle .... The Dornier's saw us coming all right and their rear-gunners were opening fire on us, tracer bullets coming perilously close to our machines. I jinked out to port in a lightning steep turn and then came back to my original position and fired immediately at the gunner and not the engine. The tracers stopped coming from that Dornier. I cnaged my aim to the port engine and fired again, one longish burst and my "De-Wilde" ammunition ran up the trailing edge of the Dornier's port wing in little dancing sparks of fire until they reached the engine. The engine exploded and the machine lurched violently for a second, as if a ton weight had landed on the wing and then fallen off again for, as soon as the port wing had dropped it picked up again and the bomber still kept formation .... The engine was now totally obscured by thick black smoke which was being swept back on to my windscreen. i was too close to the bomber now to do anything but break off my attack and pull away. I didn't see what had happened to the Dornier that Ferdie had attacked and what's more I could no longer see Ferdie.
I broke off in a steep climbing turn to port scanning the sky for a single Spitfire -- "C" Charlie. There were lots of lone Spitfires, there were lots of lone Hurricanes and there were lots of lone bombers but it was impossible now and I thought improvident to attempt to find Ferdie in all this melee. I began to get concerned about my petrol reserves as we had been in the air almost an hour and a half now and it was a long way back home.
.... I began to make some hasty calculations concerning speed, time and distance and decided that if I set course for base now and traveled fairly slowly I could make it .... I called up Ferdie, thinking, not very hopefully, that he might hear me, and told him what I was doing. Surprisingly he came back on the air at once in reply and said that he was also returning to base ....

Dornier bomber
[T]he Dornier Do 17E-1 bomber and the Do 17F-1 reconnaissance aircraft saw service in the formative years of the Luftwaffe. The outbreak of war saw these models superseded by the primary version, the Do 17Z-1 and Do 17Z-2 bombers, and the lighter Do 17M-1 reconnaissance version .... The Do 17Z bombers equipped nine Kampfgruppen on the outbreak of war ... numbering about 370 in total. Elements of these units provided much of the Luftwaffe's striking force when Poland was invaded on 1 September [1939]. Although not conspicuously fast, the Dornier Do 17Z could be handled much like a fighter, being very light on the controls; structurally it was tough, and it soon surprised its opponents by being able to evade attacks by wheeling into a wing-over and plummeting down in a dive often in excess of 610 km/h (380 mph). In Poland Do 17Z-1s and Do 17Z-2s made many very low-level strikes on airfields and military installations.
Gradually superseded by the Junkers Ju 88A, the Dornier Do 17Z-2 (the variant built in the largest numbers) saw extensive service with Kampfgeschwader Nrn 2, 3 and 76 during the assault on the West in May 1940, in attacks on shipping off Dunkirk, during the massive raids of the summer of 1940 against England, and in the nocturnal Blitz of the autumn and winter of 1940. By the time of the Balkan campaigns in April 1941, Do 17Z-2s ... continued in service in the fighting over Greece and Crete ... before taking part in the Soviet campaign. Export versions saw service with the air forces of Finland and Yugoslavia. By November 1942 the type had been withdrawn from first-line units .... Total production of Dornier Do 17Zs amounted to around 1200.
Dornier Do 17Z-2
Type: five-seat medium bomber

Spitfire fighter
The outstanding British fighter aircraft of the war. Although not the predominant RAF fighter during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire or "Spit" attracted the most attention of any of the antagonists in that battle. It was an effective, superb flying machine that was also highly photogenic. "Spits" were flown by nineteen of the fifty-eight squadrons of the RAF Fighter Command at the start of the Battle of Britain in July 1940. (The most prominent aircraft was the Hurricane, flown by twenty-nine squadrons.)
The aircraft's debut occurred on Oct. 16, 1939, when Spitfires shot down two HE 111s over the Firth of Forth, the first German aircraft to be shot down over Britain since 1918 ....
....The Spitfire was a particularly clean design, with a Rolls Royce in-line engine and a small air intake under the fuselage. The elliptical wing tips and pointed tail fin were particularly distinctive. The aircraft went through a large number of improvements and modifications during the war .... While less rugged and more vulnerable to enemy fire than the Hurricane fighter, the Spitfire more than compensated for these limitations by its excellent acceleration and maneuverability. The Spitfire's speed made it a fine unarmed photo-reconnaissance aircraft. Beginning in 1941 Spitfires were produced with an arresting hook, folding wings, and other features for naval use, these being dubbed Seafires ....
The immediate predecessor of the Spitfire was the Supermarine firm's Type 224 aircraft, designed to meet an Air Ministry specification of 1930 .... Dissatisfied with that plane ... Supermarine began the Spitfire as a private venture. The new design was accepted by the Air Ministry in Jan. 1935 and the prototype "eight-gun fighter" flew on March 5, 1936. Production was approved in June 1936 and deliveries to RAF Fighter Command began in June 1938; more than 2,000 Spitfires were on order when Britain went to war in Sept. 1939. By that time nine squadrons had received the aircraft.
A total of 20,351 Spitfires were built through Oct. 1947. It was the only Allied fighter that was in production throughout the European War .... [I]n addition, 2,408 naval Seafires were built. (They served into the Korean War of 1950-1953 and also flew from French aircraft carriers.)
The single-seat Spitfire was originally armed with eight .303-cal. machine guns. Some models carried 20-mm cannon in place of some machine guns. Maximum speed for the Spitfire I was 362 mph at its regular altitude; combat range with fifteen minutes in combat was 395 miles; maximum range was 575 miles.

The initial step is to choose the area of the sofa. You must have the precise measurements of the couch as well as you must evaluate whether this area is readily available in your room. There are different selections of sectional couches. If you do not have any kind of suggestion of just what you want, you might walk around checking out all the couches and still not have an idea as to exactly what to get. Several of the aspects that you must consider while purchasing sectional couches are the backrest, the sofa skirt, design of arm remainder, various sections and so on.
Just what makes sectional couches so fantastic is that you can pull the couch apart. This provides you the alternative to arrange the sectional couch in any type of design and also way you want it to be, whenever you desire to do so. And also it is very simple and simple to do.
When seeking to buy a sectional couch, it would be a smart choice to locate a house furnishing shop or internet site that markets each item individually or in its entirety. This way, if a collection is also huge you can deduct a number of items and also if a preferred collection is as well little, you could include an extra item. The capability to choose particular items permits you to mix and match, consequently, creating your personal special signature "appearance".

Over the next couple weeks I am going to be installing all of the monitors so that we can start applying the interior skin and also start playing with multiple frustum rendering. Once they are in place I will take precise measurements of each of the corners of the monitors so that we can compute the frustums from some arbitrary point between the two airmen.
Protect the monitors from scratches, easier cleaning, glare inside cockpit is more realistic, and helps another pressure distribution layer in case someone bumps a screen.
Product chosen is Optix® Acrylic Sheet from Professional Plastics.
Optix® acrylic sheet is crystal clear, durable, weather-resistant and lightweight. It also offers the advantages of high molecular weight for ease of fabrication, low heat loss for economy and an attractive clear edge color.
For the 55″ monitors we need 4 sheets at 26.875 x 47.75 (26.75 x 47.625 +/- 0.125)
One of which I already cut from an old projection screen TV that was dismantled.
And another of which is 53.75 x 47.75 (53.625 x 47.625 +/- 0.125) which I will try to thermal form for the top middle.
For the 42″ monitors we need 2 sheets at 20.75 x 36.75 (20.625 x 36.625 +/- 0.125)
Did a number of calculations but placing the whole order at once saves 40% on shipping.

Book explores rise and ongoing value of commercial fishing in Whatcom County
Joshua Stilts grew up in Bellingham the son of a commercial fisher, but never got hooked on fishing himself. Instead, he pursued his interest in journalism.
"Telling other people's stories is what I was passionate about," said Stilts, who now lives in Seattle.
He recently combined his interest in storytelling with his family ties to fishing by writing "Whatcom Fish Tales: A Historical Look at the County's Seafood Industry."
Stilts described his book as the first overview of the history of commercial fishing in the county for a general audience. His book is more than a personal memoir or a fishing company profile, but less than an academic history on the subject.
This industry is still a cornerstone of Whatcom County.
Joshua Stilts, author, 'Whatcom Fish Tales'
"I wanted to take a 30,000-foot view of the fishing industry here," he said.
The full-color, $29.99 paperback explores the early rise of canneries and fish traps, the 1974 Boldt decision that allocated half of the annual catch to treaty tribes, the upsurge in local fishers going to Alaska, and the current state of the industry that spawns about 2,600 jobs, according to a 2014 study for the Port of Bellingham.
"This industry is still a cornerstone of Whatcom County," Stilts said.
He will unveil the book during an appearance Friday, Sept. 30, at Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro, and Saturday, Oct. 1, at the inaugural Bellingham SeaFeast festival at Squalicum Harbor.
He also plans to host a website where Whatcom fishers and their families can share their stories and photos about commercial fishing.
Our industry has been here from day one in Bellingham.
Milan Slipcevic, president, Whatcom Commercial Fishermen's Association
After graduating from Western Washington University with a degree in journalism, Stilts wrote for the Northwest Business Monthly and then for several newspapers in New England. He returned to the Northwest to write about the U.S. fishing industry, and was a reporter for a Bellevue newspaper.
Work on his book progressed with support and connections from the Whatcom Commercial Fishermen's Association, a group that organized six years ago to lobby for government and public support of the industry. The SeaFeast festival is another effort to strengthen local recognition of fishing.
"Our industry has been here from day one in Bellingham," said Milan Slipcevic, the association's president. "It's nice to keep the industry strong in our community."
The book concludes with a series of anecdotes from Whatcom fishers.
"They can get lost in their story and be 'back there,' and that was magical to me," Stilts said. "It never failed to encourage me that this was the right thing to do."

Low value both in the sense of quality work, and monetary valuation.
I like Ted Hope; he's on my chalkboard as very clearly being One of the Good Guys, and he writes and speaks with great clarity and immense practicality. I was at this talk, shortly before he announced he'd be leaving producing to head the San Francisco Film Society. This was a difficult one to listen to, because for the first time it seemed that his frustration with the industry had hit a tipping point, and he could no longer see any practical route through it. "Fed up and ready to move on" was clear, but what I missed at the time was this bit above, that he had a new role in mind, changing the industry's approach to distribution rather than playing under it.
Which is just what he's done. The SFFS has just wrapped up the first AE2: Artist to Entrepreneur, a distribution lab to redesign and experiment with distribution. This makes me more hopeful about the prospect of finding a more stable approach to independent film distribution.

So I don't seem to update this blog much, but I am what some may call "facebook obsessed" or "facebook addicted" or "someone please find this girl a support group because it is getting a little out of control."
Here's the thing: updating facebook takes like 5 seconds. Browsing the newsfeed to see what's up with my friends? I probably spend a couple minutes several times a day. It's a way to stay in touch with a lot of people without having to take the time to actually get on the phone or write an email. Granted, that is not necessarily a good thing, but I'm not swimming in an ocean of free time right now. This girl is busy! (except for this moment where I am randomly folding laundry and updating my blog at 11:00am because SHHH don't tell anyone! I chose to work from home and actually have a few minutes of downtime).
Anyway, I thought I would share some of my recent facebook statuses, so you can have a peak into my super exciting life all these weeks I've been not posting 😉 As you can see, I do my best to keep my close friends and family informed of all the important things going on.
- Narrowly avoided brutal migraine with 3 ibuprofen and two shots of espresso. (it was touch and go for about an hour). Ok, so half a cup of yesterday's coffee bc I'm too lazy to make more is not enough caffeine for the day.. Lesson learned 😉
- just took a quick lunch break to make brownies so I could eat the leftover batter in the bowl. I'm going to guess that Costco jumbo pack of brownie mix was not a good idea.
- Left a bagel on the counter and turned my back to get a knife, and ninja Ellie managed to jump up and take it. I thought i'd lost my mind and then looked down an saw her licking it on the ground. 5 second rule?
- gave up on waiting for cold enough weather and finally got an (iced) Pumpkin Spice Latte today. If it was legal to marry Pumpkin Spice, I would. There, I said it.
- made it two years without ever having to e-file anything, and finally had to bite the bullet and learn how to e-file something this morning. Only took me about 3 hours to file two relatively simple filings…. I felt like a senior citizen trying to figure out the internet.
- "I really, really just want to… I want to zig-a-zig-ah." I just had this thought while trying to think of what I would rather be doing than work. Watch out… my subconscious apparently thinks becoming a Spice Girl could be my new Plan B.
- so currently my (computerized) door lock barely works, my washer is broken, my garbage disposal is broken, and then I came home last night and my internet and cable were out and there is black water in my toilet. I suppose it is finally time to call in a maintenance request.
- didn't feel tired until just now, when it took me a full minute to figure out how to spell "about," and then I attempted to click "like" on a coworker's email and couldn't find the like button.
- You win again, 4:10am. You always do. Ugggg. In brighter news, my early rising is my own fault because I actually spent some time not working yesterday. Shocking, but true 😉
- Wow, just spent an inordinate amount of time browsing anti-aging products at Target. Thank you, Big Law, for making me an old lady before my time 😉
- just tried to make coffee without water. On second thought, straight coffee grounds would probably be more useful at this point 😉
- Uh, power is out in all of SD. Is this the part where the aliens come out of the bay and attempt to wipe us out?! That is the only rational explanation.
- 48 hours of R&R in Texas zapped by tons of kids and babies screaming bloody murder on flight back. (1) not ready to be a momma; (2) may need to be institutionalized soon.
- Me, re: my desperate need for vacation because my brain no longer functions: "I wish I could just have two months to decompose….wait…"
- Just found my missing new digital camera (believed lost in Venice) in my underwear drawer!! Bc of course that is the most rational place to store one's camera. Anyway, so relieved!!
- pretty sure reading cases from the 1800s is going to cause my skull to mince my brain. Gross.
- due to my increasing absent-mindedness, going to have to self-impose a rule that I cannot have a regular pen within arms reach while using a stylus with the iPad. Yikes.
- let's go ahead and add "tailoring a diaper for my dog" to things I never thought I'd be doing at 27.
- I stubbed my toe and it hurts so bad I think I may simultaneously faint and vomit. Why am I so wimpy?!
- I have yet to decide whether I am most likely to end up on Hoarders, or that creepy addiction show where people eat laundry sheets and light bulbs, due to my obsession with school supplies despite being out of school for over 2 years now. Like many things, I guess time will tell 😉
- in calmer news, I just had potato skins and a butterfinger for lunch. I am a big firm lawyer, and I have very high standards for food.
See how exciting my day to day life is? I know. The glitz and glamour of it all can be a bit overwhelming 😉

Resident Evil 5 – Tokyo Game Show trailers
Capcom has released two lengthy (8+ minutes) trailers for Resident Evil 5. These two trailers are all about the co-op side of the game. While the commentators were a bit annoying because they were talking the entire time in JAPANESE which obviously I do not understand, the co-op game play as well as the graphics certainly look promising.
Resident Evil 5 is somewhat different from the previous series because I feel that the "horror" piece is missing now. Based on the trailers so far, it has become a survival third person shooter as oppose to survival horror third person shooter. There are also more ammo and healing items that can be picked up also probably because there are a lot more zombies, smarter ones that is, to kill. I hope there aren't too many items for players to pick up otherwise the survival piece will be gone as well because you can just spray your ammo without worrying about how much you have.
Although I really wish the horror piece would remain (maybe its still there but not from the trailers), but the co-op feature is just too much for me to miss this game. If I decided not to get Call of Duty 5, RE5 will probably be my first co-op survival (horror?) third person shooter game.
And…I wish I was there at the Tokyo Game Show. -_-"

In a competitive market, standing out (the right way) to employers can really put you ahead of your competition. In a digital application world where you feel like you're just sending your applications in to a black hole, it feels really good to know that you're doing the right things to get a hiring manager to remember you.
5 ways to stand out:
1) Edit your resume carefully. The number one piece of feedback we get from recruiters and hiring managers is they're tired of typos. They see them all the time and one way you can definitely stand out is to make sure you have a perfect resume or application. We have a whole video dedicated to how to make those kinds of edits properly but make sure you take the time to do it up front because otherwise they probably won't consider you for the job.
2) Be available. No matter how awesome you are, the employer can't hire you if you're not available for the evening shift on Saturday, and that's the time they need you to work. So don't say you're not available on weekends just because you want to hang out with your buddies if it's more important that you get a job.
3) Customize your applications. If they allow attachments, attach a custom cover letter. Tell them how excited you are to work at whatever job it is that they're offering. Let them know the company name, the position you're applying to and specifically why you think you would be great for that exact job. It tells the hiring manager that they're not getting the same application as everybody else so you're probably really interested in working for them.
Just a word of warning on this one, we have heard from some job seekers who got a little mixed up and this can be easy to do. If you're customizing cover letters or applications to specific employers, be careful not to send the application that you sent to Employer A over to Employer B without editing, otherwise you're probably not going to get hired at that other job.
4) Follow up. This is a great tactic as long as they don't tell you not to. If a job post says specifically no calls or follow ups, absolutely don't. It will show that you don't follow directions or you didn't read the directions in the first place and neither one of those are good. But if the job posting doesn't say you can't follow up, it's fair game. Look up the information for the contact on your favorite search engine. Just find it and call or email. Email can be better because it's less intrusive and the hiring manager can get back to it. Or, dress professionally and stop by with a list of your recommendations and references. Either way, whenever you follow up, don't do it at the busiest time for that business. If it's a buffet restaurant, do not show up at breakfast, lunch or dinner. If it is a salon, don't show up during the busy lunch hour or right after work when they're going to be slammed. Use common sense to figure out when their hiring managers are going to have the most time and try to show up then.
5) Fill employment gaps. If you've been out of work for a while or you're looking for your first job and you don't have any experience or you have a large gap in your resume, use volunteer experience to fill in that time so that they know you're doing something proactive and continuing to build experience.

No one wants to have to call a plumbing company if they don't need to.
In this article, we're going to show you when you don't need to call us, and hopefully, help keep your home operating smoothly!
If you are running the disposal and you can hear the hum that means it's on, but the blades aren't moving, or the matter isn't grinding, there are a few things you can check on your own.
If you've checked each of the above points and still haven't found what's wrong, then it's a different story. If the unit runs, but the blades don't spin, then it's likely that the blades are broken, in which case it's easiest and cheapest to just replace the whole disposal.
If it's still being unnecessarily noisy but you didn't find any foreign objects in there, that could also mean there's irreparable damage to the unit. Again, in this case, it's usually fastest and cheapest to just replace the disposal.
Still nothing seems to be fixed? Give us a call to get a diagnostic check from a licensed plumber.
There are a few simple things you can do on a regular basis to keep your disposal running smoothly, like:
If you need further help with your garbage disposal, don't hesitate to call BEST Plumbing Service of Cincinnati today! Our licensed plumbers will be able to give you options to let you make the BEST choice.

The Best Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins Recipe Ever
A bold statement I know, but I'm pretty sure these are the best stuffed sweet potatoes ever. They are absolutely delish, so filling and actually kind of healthy! I adapted the recipe from this one (her photos are so much better than mine!) to give it a more Mediterranean feel because I love the flavours and to be in with a chance of winning a cruise (why not!), you can find out more about how you can enter too here.
I discovered these during my vegetarian endeavour to discover new recipes with pretty basic ingredients that I could whip up after work, and they will definitely be a firm fixture in our diet in the future. Just maybe with a little less cheese next time...
Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins Recipe
Serves 2-3
- 2 medium or large sweet potatoes
- A glug of olive oil tablespoons butter
- Half a red onion, chopped finely
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped or minced
- Half a bag of fresh spinach
- A tablespoon of light sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of light cream cheese
- Half a tin of chickpeas
- Half a ball of Mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Bake the sweet potatoes for around 25 minutes (or until cooked through) in preheated oven at 180 degrees.
- While they're in the oven, sautee the garlic and chopped onion with the olive oil until translucent. The add the spinach and cook down. Put to one side to cool.
- Take out the sweet potatoes and leave to cool for a few minutes. Then scoop out the inside into a bowl, making sure to leave a little around the edges so the potato skins can support themselves. Return the skins to the oven for around 5 minutes so they can crisp up.
- Mash the sweet potatoes with the cream cheese and sour cream, then stir in the chickpeas and spinach, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the mixture to the sweet potato skins, tear up mozzarella and add to the top. Finish with a sprinkle of black better and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
- Serve piping hot and enjoy! They make a great side dish or main with salad.

By Dr. K. Mark Hilliard with photojournalist Emily Mae Bergeron
Dr. Hilliard has devoted his academic life, as a professor of wellness, behavioral science, human performance, and higher education, to examining the concepts of spirituality, sacred place, and sacred space both intellectually and experientially. He has analyzed hundreds of books on these topics, interviewed an abundance of those who have witnessed their phenomena, and visited countless sacred sites in the United States, England, Ireland, and France, including a period of time living on the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indian Reservation.
In this text, he shares words derived from his personal journals. Pondering reflections of what he has learned along his journey. One of his significant findings is that research into sacred place and sacred space most
often occurs in the plural sense of sacred places and sacred spaces. Yet, until we understand the singular aspect of a sacred place and a sacred space, we cannot begin to comprehend their plural form.
His purpose in putting his thoughts and experiences about sacred place and sacred space into print is to assist fellow explorers in opening their conscious, subconscious, and unconscious minds, as well as their spiritual, meta-physical, and meta-cognitive pathways toward experiencing the sacred enchantment that lies within sacred place and space. He has determined we make this journey into enchantment by entering a state of being he refers to as in-spirit. Within these pages, he shares how to begin and maintain this quest.
