Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
The citizens of Blaine need to know about the unfortunate decision to close our airport. We have a valuable asset and a small group of people who want to gain control of the property for their own self-centered ambitions.
Our airport has served the community well. It has an outstanding safety record and it is centrally located. It doesn't eat up tax dollars – the tenants have basically supported it through their leases.
The airport is presently home to about 30 aircraft. The owners are business leaders and members of our community. There are at least two businesses that moved here because the city had an airport. Contrary to the facilities promulgated by the airport closers, these are not rich men's toys – they are complex machines requiring skilled operators and maintenance far better than that you put into your automobiles. Our airport is on the state's NPIAS list – meaning, the state considers it an essential part of the state's transportation infrastructure. We will lose another connection to the national transportation system. We will lose a strong attraction for business to our community. And, finally, we would lose a strong educational connection to aviation for young people.
When the airport is closed the city will have to immediately reimburse WSDOT for grants provided as well as settle leaseholder claims, the costs of which could exceed $2 million and may be as high as $4 million. There is no guarantee that the airport land will sell for that amount at this time.
About a year ago the airport commission developed a master plan which would widen, lengthen and move the runway slightly east and a little to the south. Additionally, an electronic landing system would be installed making the airport all-weather. The city council approved this master plan, and later voted to close it. What could be more counter-productive and confusing than that?
I urge everyone to think about what I've heretofore said. The loss of a valuable asset, cost of destruction and disposal, loss of a transportation connection and loss of a viable new business attraction. I urge you to contact your city councilman to reverse this bad decision.

Living wage careers go begging, where are our children going? Last Friday afternoon, I enjoyed a short conversation with our U.S. Senator, Maria Cantwell, while at a symposium of political, educational, business and industrial leaders of Whatcom and Skagit counties at Bellingham Technical College.
The senator and I exchanged pleasantries about my occasional e-mail rants, and our mutual interest for a positive change in U.S. executive administration, before listening intently to those gathered to address our manufacturing and service industry's crying need for qualified trainees to replace an aging and soon retiring factory and trades work force.
Representatives from Intalco, BP, Janicki, ACB and other local employers led off the presentation, followed by WWU, WCC & BTC presidents and deans, to address the vital need for getting today's students into trades and technical education tracks for our community's socioeconomic advancement into the next decade.
A need for funding training and trades programs, to which our senator listened and responded, was the program's format and cogently presented, with everyone present fully understanding how vital getting our school children into science and hands-on educational tracks is for socioeconomic survival.
It was shocking, enlightening and encouraging, as I listened to hard data which noted for example, 17 percent of Whatcom County's adult population lack high school graduation credentials. While, with GED trades positions paying of $50,000 per year, to start, are going unfilled to qualified trainees as electrical line-persons, as an example of our service industry and educational guidance imbalance.
Also, a disappointment for me was to notice the conspicuous absence of Blaine's civic, educational and business leaders. It seems the only person sufficiently interested to attend was also the least capable of effecting change, a retired has-been!

The Editor:
Raise impact fees not property taxes. Property tax increases throughout Whatcom County deserve investigation.
My property tax increased 250 percent in six years. I agree taxes are the price one pays to live in a civilized society; however, I object to paying for public infrastructure such as sewer, water, power lines, roads, schools, fire protection, and drainage systems that according to our state's Growth Management Act (GMA) are supposed to be proportionally paid by real estate developers whose projects necessitated those expenditures.
I object to county executives and city managers and staff flagrantly violating mandates of GMA laws which were passed by our legislature in 1992, reaffirmed by voters last year, in part specifically to control unnecessary tax increases. Whatcom County assesses no growth management 'impact fees' whatsoever of developers; Blaine's limited fees are inadequate to fund pending financial obligations, for one obvious example the $42 million dollar sewer plan.
Another mechanism of corrupt transference of costs from the private sector to the public is through abuse of State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) laws. Local SEPA officials simply indicate on the SEPA review forms that no impact to traffic is anticipated from a particular real estate development while the county executive declares that the $7.5 million widening of some rural road is a "top county priority," and suddenly one developer's responsibilities have become the taxpayer's liability.
The same is true of road repairs as they relate to upstream drainage systems found adequate by a questionable SEPA review process. The GMA envisions smaller, compact urban areas because they are less expensive for cities to maintain. Blaine has been noncompliant with the GMA since October of 2004 because Blaine's 'Urban Growth Area' (UGA) violates appropriate density standards mandated by the act.
Readers should understand there is a direct correlation between the size of a UGA and the level of property taxes required to service it. If you're concerned about property taxes, read how GMA laws protect your right to have your government establish impact fees and appropriate UGA sizing, on your behalf.
To learn about the GMA visit: www.futurewise.org then lobby your local government representatives.

Thanks to all of you who attended the concert with Komatsumeihou high school! What a great audience you were! We were all again treated to a fine performance (free) from an outstanding group of young musicians from Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Thanks to the continued support of the Blaine school board and Mr. Ron Spanjer, superintendent as without it these concerts would not be possible.
Thank you to the students from the Blaine wind ensemble, concert band and their parents who provided food and assistance with set up and clean up for the potluck dinner held for the band prior to the concert. Thanks to Patt VanWanseele (programs), custodians, Jim Kenoyer (sorry I messed up the schedule) Don Lotze (lighting and sound) and everyone else who helped or assisted me in making this event a success.
Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu! Thank you very much!

I was just reading the letters to the editors and I was glad that something was put into the paper about the young people that were found dead in the Birch Bay woods. Rumor has been spreading around this town, across Washington, and across the country, literally, to people that were somewhat associated with this family.
Everyone had a different version of what had happened, and it was nice to have some facts printed. Even though the family knows what happened, it is still important that other people know what happened too. We may not be family, but we still care.
The truth needs to be known, to put speculation at rest. I was a friend from high school of the brother of the young man that passed away, and even though I have not spoken to him in years, this just rocked my world.
All I could think of was their pain, and all I wanted to know was what really happened, so I could try and make a little sense of it in my head. So I appreciate the facts that were printed in your report.

Frequently Asked Questions | Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
Europe Boutique River Cruises FAQs
We hope that the information provided below will help answer any questions you may have about Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. If you have any questions or concerns not answered here, please contact your travel agent.
Q: What is the recommended clothing or attire while onboard your cruises?
A: Prepare for a variety of weather conditions, depending on your travel season and the regions you will be cruising through. Layering clothing items is always your best bet, as this allows you to adjust to any temperature, including artificially maintained temperatures, by removing or adding items throughout the day.
Comfortable, sporty, smart-casual daywear is appropriate both onshore and onboard. Everyday slacks, khakis, walking shorts, and everyday skirts/dresses are recommended. For warmer temperatures, we suggest lightweight clothing that can be layered, such as a mix of sweaters, lightweight knit shirts, slacks, and walking shorts. For early spring and late fall departures, you'll find sweatshirts, heavier cotton or wool tops and long-sleeved shirts, and corduroy or heavy khaki pants perfectly suitable. Mix-and-match color schemes work best to help keep baggage light. You will participate in a significant amount of walking over uneven terrain during your time ashore. We recommend comfortable walking shoes with good ankle support. Sturdy sandals are another good option.
For evenings, any resort-type wear is perfectly suitable; however, we do ask that you not wear shorts to dinner. Men may want to bring one sport jacket for dressier restaurant venues and for special events onboard such as the Captain's Welcome and Farewell festivities. Women find that a cocktail dress or two always comes in handy no matter the destination.
Don't forget to pack a lightweight, waterproof jacket (preferably hooded), or even a heavier-weight windbreaker for colder temperatures.
Q: What are the tipping guidelines?
A: Beginning in 2014, all onboard and onshore gratuities are included during the cruise and cruise/tour portion of your trip, including pre- and post-cruise extensions purchased in conjunction with your cruise and cruise/tour in Europe.
Q: Where do I locate information about the weather during my cruise?
A: Today, weather forecasts are widely available at the click of a button on the Internet. Uniworld's favorite resource for up-to-the-minute international weather is weather.com. Weather.com features a very informative vacation-planner tool that you may find useful.
Q: Is smoking allowed on shore excursions/tours?
A: Smoking is not allowed while on the motorcoach, and many historical venues now request that visitors not smoke anywhere on site. We ask all our guests who smoke not to
do so while on excursions/tours.
Q: How can I book the optional excursions while on the ship?
A: Reservations for the optional excursions on your cruise can be made directly with your Cruise Manager onboard the ship. Charges for optional excursions will be added to your onboard account. On pre- and post-cruise extensions, payment for optional excursions will be made directly with your Local Host via credit cards. We cannot accept cash payments for optional excursions. A briefing will be held the day prior to go over any information you may need to make an informed purchase decision. Operation of optional excursions is subject to a minimum number of participants. No refunds are available for any optional excursions canceled by the guest within 24 hours of the start of the excursion, or if the excursion was pre-purchased.
Q: Is there laundry service onboard the ship?
A: It depends on the ship. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to find out if the ship has laundry facilities or laundry service.
Q: Is there Internet access onboard your ships?
A: Please contact email@example.com to find out if Internet access is available on a particular ship or view the ship information page. Some ships have Wireless Internet Service (Wi-Fi) available.
Please note: The Internet connection might not be available in remote areas, while sailing, or when transiting locks. Expect the connectivity speed to be slower than your home connection.
Q: Which direction of the cruise should I book? Is one better than the other?
A: It does not matter which direction you choose, as each direction contains the same included features. Timings of activities may, of course, vary a little due to cruising times up- or downstream, but you will not see or do more in one direction than in the other. The progression of your journey may be a matter of preference. For example, for the Eastern European cruises, you might want to start in Eastern Europe and work your way up to Western Europe, or you may prefer to do the opposite.
Second- or third-timers who have done Amsterdam to Budapest or Amsterdam to Vienna, and who are interested in the cultures and traditions of Eastern Europe, may enjoy a Black Sea Cruise such as "Imperial Capitals of Europe." Those who prefer to stay in Western Europe and enjoy lots of daytime sailing and lovely scenery will love "Imperial Capitals of Europe."
If you have already cruised along the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers, we would suggest taking in the fabulous scenery along Portugal and Spain's Douro River—a real hidden gem. The entire Douro River Valley is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Russia also offers sensational sightseeing, and our "Imperial Waterways of Russia" takes you to the best sights along the Volga River. Please note that while our Douro River and Russian cruises are offered on some of the most comfortable ships of the region, they may not have all the amenities of a Uniworld company-owned ship.
A: It does not matter, as there is no "better" side of the ship. On some days, port-side staterooms will be docked facing the shore; on other days it will be the starboard-side staterooms.
River cruise ships always dock facing upstream. Views from cabins may occasionally be restricted when the ship is docked, particularly when other ships dock next to our ship. River ships often dock next to each other, as docking spots are limited. The Harbor Master is always in control of this, not the ship's Captain.
A: Yes. For many itineraries, guests have optional extensions to choose from. For registered groups of 10 or more passengers, customization is available.
A: Passengers who are under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult who is 21 years of age or older. Uniworld's long-term experience is that most young children (especially those under 8 years of age) do not enjoy or appreciate the river cruise experience. There are no special arrangements, activities, or accommodations for children on Uniworld river cruises and tour programs. An exception to this is our Multigenerational Family-Friendly Cruise Program, which is offered on select itineraries during the summer months. Please contact your travel agent for more details. Adults accompanying children are responsible for their behavior during the trip.
Q: Is there entertainment onboard the ship?
A: Yes, depending on the itinerary, there could be local performers or musicians offering entertainment onboard the ship.
If you have anymore questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or read our cruise guides.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Magnet!
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets These magnets came out gorgeous! Exactly what we wanted for our Mexico Beach Wedding! Through the personalization part we were able to add our website to the front of the magnet for no additional charge (I saw complaints about not being able to put website on but you can! You just have to request it!) The price was excellent and the box and shipping methods were great! I absolutely recommend and may even get my invitations from magnet street as well!
2 different Flip Flops on the Beach magnets
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets I ordered the Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets with two different photos to send out to friends and family. The both came out great. On the second one we added a caption to the photo "We are taking the plunge" and it was by far everyone's favorite. IT was a picture of us jumping into the waterfalls in Jamaica.
Your Destiny Save the Date Magnets The attention to detail in the pictures was amazing, the colors were bright and they look great! We will more than likely be purchasing our invitations from Magnetstreet as well.
Starfish Foldover Pockets The invitations we ordered for our wedding were absolutely perfect. We did not have time to order a sample, so I was really nervous about the quality. The paper is thick and of great quality, and the printing is bright and beautiful! I loved the convenience of being able to work on the invitations and save my work. This allowed me to work on them at my convenience and order them when I was ready. I also had a great customer service experience. I had a small computer problem when ordering the invitations and I called the customer service line and the friendly rep was able to help me right away. I would definitely recommend the pocketfold invitations!
Awesome Service
Flip Flops in the Sun Save the Date Magnets Our save the date magnets came out beautifully, and the company rushed them out to me despite the quoted production time - I assume this is because they read my note about me being in a rush to let people know about my last minute destination wedding! Much appreciated!! Reasonable prices, website personalization was super easy, great selection of complementary items to accompany invitations... We ordered our invites from MS as well and are eagerly awaiting them. I also really appreciated the invitation samples folder that came with our save the dates. It was so helpful for choosing wording and paper type. Only negative feedback is that I wish that the quantities could be chosen in smaller increments. We are sending 30 invites, but had to order 50. Overall, couldn't be more pleased!!

And it's ongoing each year, so you'll benefit from our valuable counsel and hands-on experience when considering the vast differences between cruise lines, ships, and destinations.
How does our training and experience translate into a practical benefit for you? Well just how important is your stateroom location on the ship, really? So where's the best place to see whales in Alaska? How 'bout letting us customize a couple extra days in Rome after your cruise...maybe a private guide for a Vatican tour? Tips for your stay in Sydney? The best snorkeling port on your Mexican cruise? It's the little things that count, don't you think?
Our Pledge To You
Most importantly, we're committed to understanding your needs and your expectations for a cruise vacation, and promise to take the time to fully explain all the details each step of the way. Even though our website provides a wealth of information, and the opportunity to book online 24/7, we know that the internet can never replace the human dimension. We want, and value, a relationship with you, not just a transaction. That's why we are available to you and encourage you to call...so you can experience our "Extra-Smile" Customer Service from the very first call!
About You
The purpose of this "About Us" section is, quite frankly, to sell you on us...to persuade you that we're credible, that we've been around long enough to be trustworthy, we know what we're doing, and that (many) others have already come to that conclusion. We hope you will too. Because... it's really all about you after all, isn't it? That's what we know. Once we've had the opportunity to serve you, we believe you'll have such a positive experience that you'll return as a customer, and you'll tell the rest of your family and friends about us. We're really confident of that...to the degree that we continually evaluate and think of any way we can positively impact our relationship with you. And so you are truly not just a transaction, but a valued relationship. It's all about you and your cruise vacation.
Convenience - Our website is always open. You'll have access to thousands of cruise sailings, hundreds of ports, thousands of images, video clips and music, pages of cruise news and articles – all available 24/7. Plus our Cruise Experts are available to you Monday to Saturday just by picking up the phone (888-804-2784). And we're here for you when you have a hundred questions.
Savings - Everyone loves a deal, right? You can search and easily compare dates and rates, and book using our booking engine anytime. It's real inventory, in real time, and it's reliable and safe to use. We also contract for group space on hundreds of departures, and pass along the additional savings to you. Want to get in on exclusive cruise offers, onboard credits, and FREE cruise upgrades? And how 'bout those great last minute cruise deals everyone talks about? Then you need to sign up for the CruiseExperts.Com INNER CIRCLE. Some of the best promotions cannot be offered publicly, so you're missing out if you're not part of our INNER CIRCLE.

Definition of tilde in English:
tildeSyllabification: til·de
Pronunciation: /ˈtildə /
1An accent (~) placed over Spanish n when pronounced ny (as in señor) or Portuguese a or o when nasalized (as in São Paulo), or over a vowel in phonetic transcription, indicating nasalization.
More example sentences
- A tilde over the vowel indicates a high broken tone, in which the voice starts slightly above the middle of the normal speaking voice range, drops and then rises abruptly.
- In modern Paraguayan orthography, the nasal vowels are represented with the nasal tilde (~) over the oral version of the vowel.
- The fact that the singer was Spanish and that the programme printed the song title with a tilde might have been a clue, anyway.
mid 19th century: from Spanish, based on Latin titulus (see title).

It's no wonder there is general confusion surrounding eating fats.
Government guidelines state that a maxium of 35 per cent of our daily intake can come from fats, which sounds like a rather generous portion.
But not all fats are the same, which is where the problem lies.
Read the full story to find out the different types of fat, and the ones you should and shouldn't be eating.

... and what happens next?
April 25, 2014 - Jennifer Brookens
That appears to be the common theme in my life right now. From my kindergartner learning his days of the week ("And then what day is it?" and "And then what month is it?") to my daughter asking about what special events/activities are lined up for the summer, to my adult world problems, it's always, "What's next?"
Trouble is, the answer isn't always that easy...
So, what WILL happen next?
- after paying off the new washer? (The oven quits).
- after digging out all the kids summer clothes? (None fit).
- after my personal laptop nearly catches fire? (The spare has a computer virus).
- after one of my closest friends announces she's spending a year overseas? (Cry, then try to bribe her with a tub of her favorite candy).
- after I face down another milestone birthday? (Fight off another identity crisis).
- after school gets out? (The juggling of four unique schedules that change on a daily basis for the three months of summer).
Is it any wonder I've been so quiet lately?

Jay Leno was treated to a show that he almost certainly wasn't expecting when Heidi Klum stopped by The Tonight Show. When he asked her about a reported table-dancing stint at a Golden Globes afterparty, she decided to show Leno just what table dancing is all about. Watch here:
"It's easy. You just get up. You have to make sure you have a good person holding your hand, and then you dance," Klum says in the above video, holding Leno's hand as she dances on his desk in a semi-sheer dress. "You have to make sure you get a good stance."
Klum proceeds to show off her mad skills while twirling around to Rihanna's "Only Girl in the World." As for Leno, we can't tell if he was more impressed or terrified that the leggy Project Runway host would fall and break her neck on his watch. Regardless, we can only hope that the host puts this knowledge to good use and gets his table dancing on the next time he's at an afterparty where the champagne is running a little too freely.
Conversation then turned to whether Klum will be getting married again any time soon ("I don't think so," she answers), but we wish Leno had pried a little deeper here. Where did Klum learn her table dancing skills? Does she have some secret history we don't know about? Is this a runway model tradition? Does this happen every time she gets too drunk? Is Klum going to release a table-dancing instructional DVD? Too many questions, and not enough answers. Sounds like this is something Barbara Walters is going to have to get to the bottom of.

Final Fantasy XIII-2: two time travel trailers

The two videos, Despair and Promise, running on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 respectively, show off a bit of combat sandwiched between long periods of cinematic sequences. Check them out below.

Roundup: Window Boxes
With the famous Washington DC cherry blossoms beginning to dot the streets, and daffodils in full bloom around the city, we're craving a little flower planting of our own. For those who don't have the luxury of a garden space or the time for a full garden, window boxes are a happy alternative for growing fresh herbs for your meals or adding some spring color to your home. Here's a sampling of some of this season's options...
The Geo Window Box from Pure Modern. Non-corrosive and maintenance free, and available for custom order in 80 (!) different colors.
A modern geometric window box from GI Designs. You can choose from a variety of geometric shapes and bold colors for a low price tag.
The Steckling from German-based RephormHaus ditches the box for a minimalist saddle-like pot that affixes to balcony railings.
Smith and Hawkin's Greyed Teak Window boxes are constructed from reclaimed boats. We love their simple lines and natural color which allow the plants within to take center stage.
The Frank Lloyd Wright from Windowbox.com is made from rust-free aluminum. It can be used with the galvanized liner (shown) or with a variety of individual flower pots.
Windowbox.com's Wentworth planter has simple lines and sturdy construction. Made in Eastern Europe.
The aptly named Charleston Planter from Grandin Road comes in white and black cast aluminum.
Ready, set, plant!

My husband just hung a Smith and Hawken window box for me above the garage window. I ended up filling it with boxwood shrubs because I couldn't water it very easily from the ground. They look really good and area easy care.
I live in the DC area and our building won't allow windowboxes! AND we have generous balconies.
I live in an apartment, and while my building has no rules against window boxes, I cant attach anything directly to the building itself.
Does anyone know of a recourse for window boxes that hook on to the windowsill or some other way that I could securely AND temporarily hang a window box without leaving trace?
Unique and beautiful choices, thanks for these! I can't imagine being in the same case as enmnm, here in Europe it seems like everyone who has a balcony has window boxes on them.
You can also just get the planter (i.e. without the window hanger frame) itself, so you can use its practical size for herbs, colorful flowers etc. even if you don't have a balcony. I did this with my strawberry plants, putting two to a planter since they like to have room, and it works great.
I'm sure I could check with my insurance company, but does anyone know if master insurance policies usually have a say about this?
I am sure that the insurance companies have a say. However, the do allow outdoor furniture and satellite dishes. The do not allow one to hang clothes out to dry on the balconies either, for atheistic reasons. (I do it anyway, on the weekends, when no management is around.)
Fraise, I double checked the rules last spring--my lease makes no mention of planters! (I spent a summer in Italy two years ago and positively fell in love with the balconies in Florence and Rome, and the glorious plantings in them.) I am now looking for inexpensive planters.
I'm also looking for options that don't involve drilling into the side of the house for mounting. I'd love to have two window boxes on our ground floor over the front flower bed but my bf (who owns the house) says no drilling. I'm thinking of building a stand to hold the boxes and covering the legs with tall bushes or vines. Has anyone seen any pre-made simple stands for window boxes? All I can find are the ornate iron ones, and that's just not my style.
I recently picked up a black brushed metal window box fby Smith and Hawkins from Target. I wanted to add low maintenance plants and one of the guys at my local nursery suggested geraniums because they can thrive in their existing containers and only need to be watered about once a week.
That was over a month ago and so far so god.
Yes, but what to put in them? I've a north-facing window box and it's very cold & sad.
enmnm -- no hanging laundry out to dry for atheistic reasons? Love it! : )
At least, I guess that's the reason. I mean, I wouldn't think the insurance company would care if a pair of underwear blew off the balcony, unless it hit a windshield of a moving car. Can you read the headlines? ;)
The weird thing is, our leases specify that you can't put of satellite dishes either, but 80% of the units have them. And, I got a newsletter yesterday that says if you do have a dish, you need to get prior approval and have a licensed person install it. So you see, I get the impression that many of the rules are arbitrary. At least, they are not being enforced uniformly.
Unfortunately, I'd be the only resident with a window box...so I am looking for planters. And not for atheistic reasons, either. :)
TannerAdair - Seaside's suggestion for geraniums is great, we've had luck with them planted elsewhere. Also, my sister had impatients in her northfacing window boxes that lasted 4 months with very minimal watering.
I planted rosemary and mint in mine, and the rosemary even made it through the winter.
I plan on having some sweet potato vines trailing over my balcony. I'm not sure if I'll mount the box to the top of the railing, or just set them against the edge-- it depends what I find.
a big objection for landlords about window boxes is the water drainage-- it will stain the building as it runs down, (certain potting soil mixes are notoriously bad). if you're on good terms with your landlord you can try to convince them to change their mind by using cachepot-style window boxes that will collect the water.
I've been dying to plant boxes for the ledges outside my windows, but I'm assuming (though I haven't asked my landlord yet) I wouldn't be able to drill into the building. do I need to worry about the boxes blowing off? I'm on the 4th floor and the ledges are a good 8" deep, sloped slightly away from the window.
my downstairs neighbors (2nd floor, same line as me) have what appear to be freestanding boxes, so I guess our management doesn't care... I just don't want to accidentally club someone with a planter.
I can see how landlords might not want to have to deal with soil and water runoff, but again, those lovely, flower filled balconies in Rome are a few hundred years old and doing fine.
In any event, wind is a definite problem, and I will be affixing the planters to the iron balustrades. How, I am not sure yet.
I hope AT keeps the submission form up for a few months for us high altitude readers as our spring is a good month away and I'd like to submit photos this year of my balcony. Its snowing here today (Denver) and it is April 1st. No joke!
Being the neglectful gardener I am, I think ceramic pots with NO drain-holes, despite the warnings of "drowning" your plants, are great. I give them about a pint or so a week, in one deep soaking, and geraniums and other easy things don't mind a bit, and the soil and the water doesn't run anyplace.
I'd be the only one in my building with a window box, too, but maybe others would get the idea? I haven't spoken with management yet, but I've been looking at some of the window air conditioners and the brackets used for them. I have central air, so I'm not sure how those brackets are attached. But I'm going to pursue this.

Ya never know!!!!
Six days ago, Sean went back to the Orthopedic Surgeon who removed his hard cast and said his foot was looking great and that he could go back to the facility with just an ace bandage. Sean asked if he could have more protection than that as he has manuever his wheelchair through doors to get outside and his extended right foot needed protection for him to get through the door. So, the good doctor provided him with a boot cast and that seemed to be working well until today.
Dina, Sean's wonderful nurse that has been off for several days, asked how his foot is doing and that she needed to see it. So, she took the boot cast off and the ace bandage and wham! She and I stood there in shock! There on Sean's heel was a quarter size blister, a pressure sore next to it and on the other side of his heel was another pressure sore and then the very worst thing was on the bottom of his heel is this deep bruise which Dina said is a deep tissue trauma and it could be all the way to the bone. We looked at each other and then at Sean as she questioned him about when his foot was last checked. He said the other nurse checked it a couple of days ago and said that there was a spot on the bottom of his foot and that he needed to keep his foot elevated on a pillow at night which he has done.
I felt the hairs rise on Dina's neck as she shook her head in disbelief. She began to explain that the boot cast had caused all of this and should have been removed days ago. She proceeded to inform the wound nurse of the major problem and they both returned with another boot that was lined with lambs wool and held the heel where nothing was touching it. I thanked Dina for being such a good nurse and stated that the other nurse had not done what she was supposed to do in this situation. She said she had already taken care of it by talking to her boss, The Director of Nurses, and she took a deep breath and said, "If I didn't care, it wouldn't bother me, but I do, and I hate to see this happening to Sean after everything we have done to get his pressure sores healed."
Anyway, this is where we are folks. New pressure sores!. So, please join us in intending for Sean's highest good in this situation.
Love, Deb

…said my friend Marsha when I just talked to her on the phone.Gosh darn it! I hate that question! I answered like I always do, "I don't think so. This doesn't feel like mania!"She then said, "I'm sorry Julie. I always feel like I'm the one with the bad news."I said, "Well, I asked you to tell me if you thought I was manic. I thought I was just excited."I know that the "are you manic" question- means I'm hypomanic. I ALWAYS try to justify the mania. * Maybe it's just the real me! * Maybe it's just that it's sunny outside. * Maybe it's not what it seems! * Maybe I am just darn excited about life! * Maybe the fact that colors are twice as bright and all sounds are magnified is just a coincidence!If more than one person thinks I'm manic- I'm manic. It's not excitement. It's bipolar disorder. In other words, if I'm excited and feel like having a beer in the afternoon and staying up all night with the wrong people, it's mania.Excitement is contained. It is a response to an event. The kind of excitement I feel when I'm manic is so beyond what non bipolar people feel. And I have to remember that and respect it when the people in my life point it out.(Unfair. Leave me alone! Let me enjoy this! )It feels so good when compared to the terrible depression I often have.(Stop trying to ruin my buzz! I need it!) Do you have a mania plan for your family and friends? I know that mine keeps my relationships, bank account, drinking and decisions under control.Thank you Marsha for doing what I asked you to do.Julie

Mania stories! We laugh a lot. Here are a few:Dave: "I was really manic. I felt my bedroom was too small. I needed to build an addition. So I got out a sledge hammer and demolished the wall in my bedroom. It led directly outside, so it was pretty cold. My wife was really upset. But I felt so good and strong! I was in the hospital the next day. Sherri: My first manic episode was crazy. I told my dad I was leaving New York to go to San Francisco to be a model. I got on a train and you can imagine all of the guys I met! When I got to San Francisco I got a hotel and a mo-ped. I remember going across the Golden Gate Bridge on my little white mo-ped. I hired a photographer and got my modeling shots. I started dating: three men. I knew I was going to be famous. I'm only 5'1" but I didn't care! I called my family and was so excited! My dad came and got me of course. That was my first hospitalization for mania.Mania RecapThere are two main types of bipolar disorder. Bipolar I and bipolar II. They share the same symptoms in terms of depression, anxiety and sometimes psychosis. The only difference between the two is mania.Bipolar I has full blown mania- the kind that Dave and Sherri describe above. Bipolar II has hypomania.Within full blown mania and hypomania, there are two distinct styles of mania: euphoric and dysphoric. Dave and Sherri were definitely euphoric! Dysphoric mania is agitated and negative.Both are dangerous and have to be monitored carefully – one just feels a lot better than the other!Julie

I was sitting here staring at my computer trying to think of something to write about being bipolar… and I can't. I've run out of stuff to say. And then I got an idea. As horrible as depression, anxiety, and mania can be, when you eventually cross over to the other side to the land of mental stability, you no longer can feel what it once felt like to be in that dark, lonely place. You may remember all of the details of what you went through, the places you went to, the people you hurt or hurt you, but you can't taste the tears that once rolled down your cheek or feel your manic heart beating.
If you're reading this post and you're currrently experiencing depression, you're either going to try and believe that you'll get better one day—and not remember the hell you're currently experiencing. Or you're gonna say, "Yeah, right. You don't live in my head. You're not with me when it happens. I'm never gonna get better. Bruce, what the hell do you know?" All I know is where I am, what I went through, and the people and dog who got me here.
A mental state of mind is just like leaving a freezing city and going to the tropics. You have a great time, you relax, and when it's time to come home, your mind smuggles a bit of the islands with you. But it doesn't last. It fades. And you forget. You may remember laying out, baking in the sun, but you won't be able to remember what it actually felt like shining down on your skin. Hey, I know what I'm saying is hard to believe, but it's true. Just think of something bad or great that happened in your life, and test it for yourself—I still do. Especially when I have my bad days too.
Do you guys feel what I'm saying?

When somebody is manic, not only do they spend a lot of money, but they tend to spend a lot of money that they don't have. And that's when the problems kick in. For example, you might lose your house, your partner, or your mind.
Back in 1999, when I was unemployed, I found a quick way to earn $5,000 a month—taking cash advances from my 12 credit cards. It was a great system until I ran out of cards. Before I knew it, I slipped into a depression, and was left with a $100,000 tab that the bipolar big-spender left me with. I eventually had no choice but to claim bankruptcy, which turned out to be the Manic Spending Spree Get out of Debt (almost) Free Card.
As much as I learned a lesson, I also learned how to monitor my mood swings from watching the way I spend money. And so has my wife. A few months ago, I chased her into the kitchen, cornered her inside the refrigerator, and with my eyes the size of golf balls, I told her I was going to buy an apartment for $600,000. "Brooke, trust me, I have it all planned out," I said. Then she said, "Just how do you plan to do that without either of us working?" Good point. I quickly called my psychiatrist for an emergency visit, before I blew all of our money and wouldn't be able to afford the copayment.
What are your experiences with mania and money?

Published by Bruce Goldstein at 12:25 PM under Bipolar Disorder | Children with Bipolar | Community
The other day I went to the playground and the kids were going wild. There was a gang of five-year-olds firing water guns at each other, a bunch of three-years-olds running around like crazy cats, jumping in sprinklers, screaming at the top of the lungs, and some other kids were eating sand, like my daughter. She also likes to run around in circles, have tea parties with imaginary guests, smash sandcastles, and occasionally push kids. Then, this weekend, my darling little daughter decided it was okay to throw a rock at me at an outside wedding. When I asked her why she did it, she told me because she wanted to. That was a tough one for me to grasp. Because she wanted to? But is she mentally ill—I don't think so.
Unfortunately, these days, there are many doctors out there, who might suggest my daughter and some of the other bubble-blowing, wild Indians of the playground need to be treated by a plethora of multi-colored medication. They take the easy way out. They prefer the quick prescription fix. I'm not saying that there aren't kids that need to be on medicine, (If you do feel a doctor is making sense, I recommend you see a few more doctors before making a decision.) but doctors should really spend more time observing their precious subjects before they shove a life-changing diagnosis down their parent's throat.
Life is tough enough. These kids don't need to be pre-labeled. They don't need to experience unnecessary side effects. Let them be kids. Let them splash in puddles. Throw water balloons. Get in a little trouble. It's okay. We did. And we turned out pretty good.
Have your children been misdiagnosed? Or has medicine helped? Please share with the group.

Ravens news, notes and opinions on Ayanbadejo, Thompson, Te'o and more
I mentioned this on my Twitter account, but I wanted to go into a little more detail here. Eight of the nine oldest Ravens – and the six oldest overall - from the team that won the Super Bowl two months ago are no longer under contract with the team. That group includes Ray Lewis (37, retired), Bobbie Williams (36, released), Matt Birk (36, retired), Brendon Ayanbadejo (36, will be released), Ed Reed (34, signed with Houston), Ma'ake Kemoeatu (34, free agent), Bryant McKinnie (33, free agent) and Anquan Boldin (32, traded to San Francisco). The only exception is cornerback Chris Johnson, the 33-year-old who re-signed with the Ravens last month. Johnson and fullback Vonta Leach (31) are currently the two oldest players on the team and the only players on the roster over the age of 30.

Great ideas. I loved my Lego blocks, Lincoln Logs and Erector set.
Oh! when I was a kid I would have loved the interior design sketch portfolio. Today I think it would have to be the Citiblocks.

|Skin diseases: Inselspital Bern relies on DUOLITH SD1
The Inselspital Bern (Bern University Hospital), a renowned hospital located in the capital of Switzerland, has been using shock wave therapy in the fields of tissue regeneration and wound healing for years.
Doctors now want to build on the positive experience and extend the range of treatments. They plan to use shock waves for the therapy of diseases of the connective tissue of the skin that were almost untreatable in the past and also for the treatment of problem scars (for example after burns or x-ray irradiation). The Inselspital Bern relies on the DUOLITH SD1 »T-Top« from STORZ MEDICAL.
Doctors at the Inselspital plan to gather clinical data on morphea (cutaneous scleroderma), cutaneous calcinosis, granuloma annulare, necrobiosis lipoidica and hidradenitis suppurativa. The Inselspital has also had good experience with the treatment of venous ulcers.
At the Inselspital Bern, Prof. Thomas Hunziker supervises the application of shock wave therapy for skin diseases.

Artwork was alright, but least of the worries.
You got artwork down, animation could have gone better, more frames and such. The emperor farting wasn't to my liking, just seemed like a lame joke. However, the guard's neck extending like it did made me laugh, that was good. Voices need great improvement, and the sounds/sound effects are off by a second or less. That may annoy some people.
You still did fairly well, and you do have some good jokes in there.
Thanks for the constructive support everybody <3
Yeah I have no idea what is going on with the sound ? It runs smooth on youtube.
I merged all the sounds and made one big streaming layer out of it.
butanyway THANKS !

Was kinda funny, though you definitely need to syncronize the sounds a bit better. Some voice work was a little sloppy, and transitions weren't perfect, but an 8 for effort :D

It's a good flash overall. Decent animation as well as UNCREDITED music. I would recomend that you learn how to optimize your flash a little more a give out a more better writen storyline.
