files second Seagrass Cottage application
Trillium Corporation filed a second application for its proposed Seagrass Cottage on Semiahmoo spit, according to community planner Russell Nelson. The application was submitted on August 19; however, a determination of complete application was made on September 15. The plan now includes 36 duplex lots on roughly 20 acres, and includes public parking and public access trails to the beach. The public is allowed to provide input about the project in a written format to the city of Blaine planning department, 344 H Street, Blaine, WA 98230. A public hearing has not been set yet, Nelson said.
The Seagrass Cottage project initially included 64 units on 14 acres; however, Trillium decided to change the plan after the community vocalized environmental concerns, including birdlife, road work, and sewage treatment issues.
attracts 75 artists, next one in the works
An art contest sponsored by the Smuggler�s Inn, a Blaine bed and breakfast, attracted 75 artists and a total of 26 entries were made. Owner Bob Boule said there would have been more entries had there been more preparation time. About $1,800 in prizes went to the artists, who were judged by residents and officials, including city manager Gary Tomsic and Bruce and Sandy Wolf. First place went to Jan Kupka, second was awarded to Cynthia Jackson, third to Jordan River and people�s choice went to Nathan Karuza. The art will be displayed at businesses throughout the area. Next year�s art contest is already in the works and will feature Blaine�s boardwalk, Boule said. The boardwalk design is already complete, so artists will be asked to create a Victorian community around the finished boardwalk.
Creek Roadhouse closed, concert moved
Dakota Creek Roadhouse boarded up its windows and doors last week, and a scheduled concert has had to change venue. Blue Rodeo, a popular Canadian alt-country-rock outfit, will appear in concert with Oh Susanna on Saturday, September 27 at the Fairhaven Pub & Martini Bar, 1114 Harris Avenue, Bellingham. It will be the first concert ever in Bellingham for Blue Rodeo. Tickets are still available for $18 advance from Ticketmaster or $20 at the door.

proposal: No action taken at city council
The Blaine city council took no action at Monday evening�s meeting concerning the proposed land deal that would add 5.43 acres to the Blaine Municipal Airport. The land, owned by Custer resident Robert Carruthers, lies near the southern end of the airport and contains tall trees that encroach into the airport�s flight path. The city of Blaine initially offered Carruthers $300,000 for the land, and he in turn requested $310,000 - the extra $10,000 for legal fees he has incurred while fighting the city of Blaine in court over the trees. The proposed deal is now at $305,000. City attorney Jon Sitkin had no comment on the proposal, but did say a deal should be reached soon.

Summer Break
"Slow down, everyone – you're moving too fast –
Frames can't catch you if you're moving like that … "
- Jack Johnson, "Inaudible Melodies"
I need to slow down. With my Ironman about five weeks away, I've been training like a lunatic, and trying to cram every other part of my life around the margins.
So I'm stepping back a bit to take a little hiatus, which coincides with a few upcoming days when I'll be without Internet access. It actually works out nicely, in that I'll have a chance to catch up on some reading (more on that below), and keep working my way through Season 1 of Lost (yes, I'm still working on that one).
Make no mistake – everything's good. Just busy. And I won't be gone for long.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with a few random thoughts that have been bouncing around my head lately, but I never got around to writing about. Any one of these topics could have been a full post – but to spare both you and me some time, I'll try to keep them to brief bullet points. Starting with …
The Internet highlight of my past week was reading blogs and race reports from two of the biggest events of the year: the Western States 100 and Ironman Cour D'Alene (and in one case, IM Switzerland). I was going to write a whole post about how exciting it was to follow the exploits of these athletes - but then I figured that if you can't get inspired by reading the words of people like Momo, TriJack, Eric, Jodi, and Benny … I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Except that maybe you've picked the wrong hobby or something.
Remember the Carmel Valley runner I talked about who let me accompany him on a nighttime trail run during his preparation for Western States? Well, after he finished the race, I contacted him to ask if I could write an article about him for my Monterey Herald column.
He wrote back to me and said that he had just finished giving an interview to a professional reporter from Sacramento, who had been commissioned by the Monterey Herald to write this article about him and another local runner which appears in today's Herald.
In other words, I got scooped by my own paper. And it's probably the best example I can offer to illustrate the difference between a freelance writer and a professional reporter. When it comes to sportswriting, I'm the Rodney Dangerfield of the Monterey Peninsula.
Like a kid counting the days to Christmas, I'm looking forward to next month's release of the 7th Harry Potter book on an hourly basis. If I knew how to put one of those countdown clocks on my blog, it wouldn't be for my Ironman, it would be for this book.
Seriously - I can't overestimate how excited I am to discover how the whole story wraps up. Where are all of the horcruxes? What secret is Aunt Petunia keeping? And what the heck's the deal with Snape? I'm so anxious about all of this that I've been going back through previous books of the series in hopes of glimpsing some clue I hadn't noticed before, and refreshing my memory of the multiple storylines that have yet to play out in the final episode.
On the other hand, I've spent so many runs contemplating so many questions related to this series, that it's interwoven into the fabric of my experience. So what happens once I finally know all the answers? What will I think about then? Will I enjoy my running any less than usual? I can't help but wonder if I'll feel some sort of letdown once the whole thing is ultimately finished.
(Have I mentioned yet that I can find the downside to anything? I've come to think of it as a gift. Let's just move on … )
When I get back into the swing of posting, I owe you a post about my daughter and Brer Rabbit. I've also got some thoughts about Bugs Bunny – and yes, both of these posts will relate to triathlon. I know it sounds strange – but trust me on this one.
(This last point got a little carried away, and probably could have been its own post. But since I've already written the previous stuff, I'm throwing it all in at no extra charge. Don't say I didn't leave you with a lot to think about.)
For the first time in eight years, I may have to spend the Fourth of July without watching Takeru Kobayashi at the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest – and I'm almost disappointed beyond words.
Kobayashi is considered the Lance Armstrong of competitive eating (including the suspicion of drug use – in this case, whispers of performance enhancing stomach relaxers. I know, you think I'm kidding – but even I couldn't make up something this silly.) He has dominated the Coney Island contest for the better part of a decade, but this year, he is scheduled to face his most formidable challenger in years: American Joey Chestnut, who just broke the hot dog eating world record.
Recently, Kobayashi has hinted that he may back out of the competition, citing a jaw injury that has limited his training. Which raises a couple of questions:
First off …am I to understand that these guys actually train for this stuff? I mean ... do they keep blogs and write event reports and read workout articles and hire coaches and attend clinics too? I'm sensing that the Hot Dog Contest is just the tip of the competitive eating iceberg. So the next time you see an overweight dude piling it up high at the Hometown Buffet, think twice about being overly critical – for all you know, that guy might be in serious training.
Second: Kobayashi is supposedly the Lance Armstrong of his sport. But does anyone seriously think that Lance would have backed away from his biggest challenge due to a training injury?
Remember Lance's final year at the Tour de France, when Ivan Basso and Floyd Landis were up and coming riders earning a lot of media attention and poised to become cycling's next big superstars? Instead of shying away from the pressure, Lance showed up in the best shape of his life, seized control of the race in its early stages, and kept laying the smack down on every major stage en route to his seventh victory.
Then he retired … and THAT'S the way a superstar leaves his sport.
So if Kobayashi decides to skip the contest instead of going after his seventh straight title, it would highlight the primary difference (at least, the major one not related to body mass or cardiovascular fitness) between competitive eating and world class cycling. Because when a title is at stake and a legacy is on the line, true champions show up.
And if he doesn't … well, I guess I'll just have to attend a barbecue somewhere or find some fireworks to watch instead. But my holiday won't be nearly as satisfying.
I guess what I'm saying is, July looks to get off to a somewhat unusual start: a potentially lackluster Hot Dog contest, a Tour de France without Lance or Floyd, and me vacating cyberspace for a little while.
But that doesn't mean there isn't reason for optimism. I'll keep rolling along with my training, clicking off the workouts and counting down the minutes until my Ironman approaches and until the new Harry Potter book is released (but, you know … not necessarily in that order). Then before you know it, I'll be back here wasting your time with stories of workouts and wizards and rabbits, along with any other random nonsense that crosses my mind.
Or, as I prefer to call it: business as usual.

I have only a passing interest and brief knowledge in philosophy, but I've enjoyed the bit that I've studied so I might give this one a read. Just so long as it doesn't require too high a prerequisit of philosophical knowledge and/or the message of each discussion is clear.
In terms of books relating real life subjects to games, I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a book discussing politics in relation to World of Warcraft. Having seen a lot of debates comparing events and factions in WoW (particularly in recent times since the Wrath Gate and the renewal of Horde/Alliance tensions) to real-world events and political ideologies, I think it'd be an interesting read.

Kathleen Hunter and Roxana Tiron
The most significant revision of immigration law in a generation, which the Senate is on track to pass today, faces resistance in the Republican-led House where opposition to a path to citizenship remains strong.
Many House Republicans prefer a piecemeal approach with an emphasis on showing that border security measures are working before considering legal status for an estimated 11 million undocumented U.S. immigrants. The citizenship path is at the core of the Senate's comprehensive bill.
"It's dead on arrival here as is because you couldn't a get majority of Republicans there," Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, said in an interview at the Capitol. "Why in the world would a majority of Republicans embrace something in the House that a majority of Republicans in the Senate didn't embrace?"
The Senate bill, which could come to a final vote as soon as today, is the product of months of painstaking negotiations aimed at securing support from as many senators as possible from both parties. Still, the chamber's top Republican said he'll oppose the measure.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said today that he will vote against the bill because he isn't convinced that the legislation would secure the U.S. border and deter a future wave of illegal immigration. His refusal to support the bill may influence Republican support for the law in the House.
McConnell's 'Regret'
"I had wanted very much to support a reform to our immigration law," McConnell said on the Senate floor today. "So it's with a great deal of regret, for me at least, that the final bill didn't turn out to be something that I could support."
The measure seeks to balance the path to citizenship that Democrats demand with strong enough border security to satisfy Republicans. At the behest of Republicans, senators yesterday adopted an amendment that would direct $38 billion in resources to securing the border, a proposal that drew the support of 15 Republicans and allowed the bill to advance.
Meanwhile, the House remains uncertain over how to proceed with its immigration legislation as a prelude to cross-chamber negotiations on a final bill.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, has let Virginia Representative Bob Goodlatte, the Judiciary Committee chairman, set the pace and tone for the House's efforts on immigration.

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Wisconsin's highest court is hitting the road again. The State Supreme Court will hold a session in Sheboygan today -- the 24th session outside of Madison since 1993. It's part of an outreach initiative to show school students and others throughout the state how the Supreme Court works. Spectators will get to hear arguments in two ground-breaking cases. Both involve the question of whether it's constitutional for police to track down a suspect by obtaining the person's cell phone data without a warrant. Nicolas Subdiaz-Osorio claims that Kenosha Police violated his rights when officers worked with his cell phone provider to track his signal, and arrest him for a murder. The second case also involves the police usage of cell phone signals to find a murder suspect.

Hansen backs Williams
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has backed his decision to include veteran lock Ali Williams in New Zealand's 32-man squad to tour Europe.
Williams was part of a disappointing Super Rugby campaign with the Blues earlier in the season and picked up a serious knee injury during the All Blacks' June Test series against Ireland.
The 31-year-old, who is the second-most capped lock in All Blacks history, also had a quiet performance in Auckland's ITM Cup final loss to Canterbury. But Hansen defended the player's inclusion.
"It came down to the same conclusions that we came down to in June - that we have a 75 Test veteran,' said Hansen.
"Yes, he has not played a lot of rugby because of injury but we know he has got the mental capacity to do the job on the field.
"He brings with him a huge amount of experience, to which we know he is good at assisting the young guys and Brodie Retallick and Luke Romano will benefit from that."
Hansen added that Williams was a unanimous choice among the three selectors.
"Mentally he's in great shape, probably the best shape I've seen him. There's a huge amount of desire to prove that he's worthy of still being there," said Hansen.
"That was enough to select him because an Ali Williams when he's playing well is an asset.
"It would appear that he hasn't played a lot of rugby and that's a fact, he hasn't and he's probably a little rusty.
"But that doesn't take away from the fact he's a proven international, he's been world class and mentally we know he can cope."
The first Test against Scotland on November 11 falls nearly 10 years to the day since Williams made his Test debut against England at Twickenham.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among infants under a year old.
There are a variety of products parents are buying in hopes of keeping their babies safe, but the medical community warns that no product can guarantee complete prevention.
Kelly Corona remembers the night her son, Jacob, stopped breathing.
"I just remember thinking, this can't be it, he's going to come back, he has to come back," Corona says.
Within minutes, her baby boy was white, limp and cold. She administered CPR and he was rushed to the hospital.
"I can't get that picture out of my head," she says.
She recalls running to his crib after hearing a loud signal from a specially-designed monitor. The device would alert her if Jacob completely stopped moving for more than a few seconds.
Corona says she still has her happy, healthy boy thanks to the Snuza monitor.
Like many parents, Corona purchased the monitor as an added layer of protection to prevent SIDS.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 4,500 infants suddenly die with no obvious cause every year.
"It's sort of a diagnosis of exclusion where they can't find another reason for the death at a time when the baby was sleeping," says Lisa Schutlz, a neo-natal intensive care nurse at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Since no one knows what causes SIDS, no product or device can prevent it or even reduce the risk.
That's why many popular products like the Snuza and Angelcare Mattress are marketed as "parenting aids" and not "health monitors."
The American Academy of Pediatrics has found unproven SIDS protection claims on a number of other products ranging from monitors and mattresses, to pillows and positioners.
Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration has never approved a product to prevent or reduce the risk of SIDS.
Overwhelmingly, preventative care is the medical community's recommendation for parents.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a baby should always sleep on their back on a firm surface either in a crib or bassinet.
They should be placed on a mattress with only a fitted sheet. Never place pillows, comforters, bumper pads or stuffed toys in the crib that could suffocate the child.
They should sleep alone, because sleeping with an adult increases the risk of SIDS. Parents could inadvertently roll onto their infant, or the baby could get tangled in the sheets and be strangled.
Stomach sleeping, cigarette smoke, preemies and soft bedding have all been linked to increased risk of SIDS.
When new parents are determining sleeping arrangements or creating a sleep area for their baby, be sure to communicate this with grandparents, siblings, relatives and friends.
Anyone who may be putting your baby down to sleep should know how to keep the child safe.
While the true cause of SIDS remains a mystery, preventive practices like the ones mentioned have been proven to dramatically reduce the risk.
Nevertheless, the decision of whether to purchase products on the market aimed at preventing SIDS is completely up to parents.

FARGO, ND. (KFGO AM) -- With energy bills skyrocketing this time of year, there are options to help pay your heating bill.
Xcel energy provides a low income home energy assistance program for households in Fargo and Moorhead that qualify.
Another option is an equalized billing plan that averages your usage for the year, charging a similar amount each month.
Xcel Energy's Mark Nisbet says they know that this time of year can be a struggle for low income families.
Moorhead Public Service also offers an equalized billing plan for residents who have good payment history and have lived in the area for at least a year.

The weather out east is not only creating problems for people on the ground and on the roads. It's also making a mess of air travel.
Thousands of flights have already been canceled, and for one valley family, those cancellations are putting a very special homecoming on hold.
Beth Ann Cooley's son finally got military leave this year for the holiday. But about 3 a.m. Wednesday, she got the dreaded call that his flight would be delayed. She waited hours in Terminal 2 -- and our cameras were there to finally capture the reunion of Cooley and her son and two grandsons.
"We came to pick up her son, he's in the Air Force, and he's on leave getting ready to go to Afghanistan so he's coming in with our two grandsons," says Beth Ann.
Cooley could hardly believe her son, who's been away for the last few Christmases, finally got the time off. Her family hasn't all been together for the holidays in 4 years.
"It's everything for us."
But Cooley has been on pins and needles. Her son and his kids had been delayed in Florida for several hours. Then delayed in Houston for 6 more.
Over 1,800 flights were canceled in the past 48 hours, and Cooley feared her son's flight would be scrapped too.
"We got the call that he's on the flight and now he's on his way here... This is just a dream come true, every mom wants this."
A reunion just in time for the holidays, before her son Chris serves another 18 months in Afghanistan.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my family, so it's absolutely worth it," says Chris Cooley.
Out of Sky Harbor, flights heading to Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Dallas are delayed.

1.) Expectations of the adoptive family.
2.) Expectations of your friends and family.
One of the most difficult realities about having expectations is that very often they go unmet. As individuals, we operate based on our own need in situations, what we see is best, and ultimately how we can benefit from the situation. This is true in open adoption relationships as the adoptive family seeks to meet their needs as a family and the needs of their child. It is also true for you, the birthparent, as you seek to meet your needs as a birthparent and your need to feel peace about your decision. In this next stage, you're going to evaluate your expectations, how to make them known to those upon whom you've placed them, and how to deal with those expectations possibly not being met in the ways you believe you need.
My expectations for the Adoptive Family
Again, look carefully at what expectations you've listed. Here, you will write one word for every expectation you had. For instance, if you wrote something similar to:
"I expect them to be honest with me at all times," you would write here, "honesty."
Write one word for every expectation you have ...
Carefully evaluate the expectations you've listed. Again, let's use honesty as an example. If you expect honesty from the adoptive parents, are you prepared for what that honesty may be? What if, in their honesty, they explain to you that they feel that one visit each year is better for your child and for them than the arranged three visits per year? What if, in their honesty, they explain that their families are having a difficult time accepting the openness between all of you and that it would be better for the time being that you not be involved in family events? Are you prepared for the full scope of getting this expectation met? That's what this workbook is for.
Now, let's take one of those one-word expectations and look at it carefully. This time, what you'll do is write down, next to the word, how you would feel if that expectation was 1.) unmet or 2.) met, but notthe wayyou expected.
If this is unmet I will feel ...
If this is met, but not how I expect I will feel ...
Now that you know what you expect from the adoptive parents, let's focus on how to ensure that you have communicated this expectation in the best way possible. After all, you can't expect them to meet an expectation withouttheir understanding of what it is you are asking. In open adoptions, miscommunication is the number one reason for discord. You can prevent that!
Fill in the following:
Of the adoptive parents, one thing I expect is ...
I have/have not made them aware of this in a way that is fully understood.
If you have made them aware, write down how you did this ...
If you have not made them aware, write down how you plan to do so ...
Now, you have discovered what expectations you currently have. You have even written down how to express those expectations. Now, let's work on what tools you should develop in order to handle times when those expectations may not be met as you'd like.
Using one of your expectations, write down a possible scenario.
*Example: you expected to receive pictures and a letter every three months but are only receiving them every six months. Or, your visits with them are not what you thought they would be and you're having difficulty with them.
Write the expectation and possible scenario of it not being met here ...
What would be your first reaction to disappointment?
At the first sign of disappointment it is very important to know exactly how it has made you feel and why. This will be your first tool. Knowing your feelings and emotions is important.
Fill this in: If my expectations were not met and I reacted by feeling , I would ...
*Example: If my expectations were not met and I reacted by feeling angry, I would probably vent to my friends, and maybe call the caseworker and tell her about it.
When our expectations are not met it is a very normal response to become angry, feel disappointed, and react emotionally to the situation. It is also very easy and quite normal to create possible assumptions to justify what has happened.
*Example: The adoptive parents have cancelled a visit, telling you that something else came up. You are very upset, as you've been looking forward to this visit for over two months. You begin to think they just don't want to see you, maybe you even feel like they're shutting you out. You become defensive. You feel rejected. You believe it must be how they feel about you instead of the possibility that they really did have something else important come up. By the time you talk to them again, you're furious. The next visit is strained and you begin to have doubts about your decision.
Disappointment can cause emotional damage, put strain on a relationship, and cause dissension. How do you prevent this from happening?
How to deal with unmet expectations and disappointment in your open adoption relationship:
*Example: Donna expected three visits a year. What she got was one visit a year. After talking to the adoptive parents about this and being told that this was just something they weren't going to budge on, Donna chose to meet those expectations in other avenues. She communicated to the adoptive parents that she would respect their decision to have only one visit per year, but in return for this change she would expect a letter and pictures every three months, whereas before she was expected to get them every six months.
Understanding your expectations and working towards dealing with disappointment is never-ending. Your goal is not to have a perfect adoption relationship, but instead to have a working, positive relationship.
Biggest No-No when expectations are dashed: Taking it personally
If you take it personally you'll find that you're over-wrought with agony. You'll tell yourself things like, "But I worked so hard," or, "What did I do wrong?" or, "How could they do this to me," or, "How can they not like me anymore?" The list goes on and on. Taking a disappointment personally will devastate you. You will begin to operate in anger, hurt, and resentment. Nothing can be solved or worked through when you're blinded by these emotions.
Here is another exercise:
Think about the last time you were disappointed and write it down here:
What expectation did you have that was unmet in the above situation?
Was the other party fully aware of your expectation, and how?
How did you react to the disappointment?
Did your reaction result in a positive solution?
In what ways do you think you could have handled it better?
Your goal in this section is to understand exactly what expectations you have of the adoptive family, how to express those expectations, and how to deal with disappointment. Thebestlesson you can learn from this that you will be able to handle whatever disappointments happen; to not take them personally, and to be able to work through them. When you have the ability to compromise without emotional trauma, you will have conquered this section.

Israel continues both: the replacements - with among others Belgian King Albert II, Prince Charles of Wales and Ukrainian Victor Yushchenko targeted - and the Nina transfer.
Same things that Israel do, also Emperial Japan was doing before the II World War and they will be punished in same Christian manner, as cautioned many times. Whatever in micro, macro scale or both.
"The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."
The devil - my damaged clone, that is missing the Magen David mark on right ear has been already booked in Ukrainian cell. It seems that tonight both Sigismund's.- orginal and Israeli castrats - are going to be sent on Route 66.
The Israeli will be rescured and maybe later sent with Nina to Russian Ukraine from which usualy she does not returns. The orginal - Zion - well, he is just like Sisyphus - an perfect ilustration of how hard is upkeep the Zion at the Eastern hemisphere.
Since three days I am thinking how to save his life but with Jewish State of Israel promising to send Nina into Russian hands it seems to be impossible. In original script he would just join our Polonez dance but in Israeli one, as almost all others silver Gods, he is going to be murdered and replaced.
Even while he and others are already informed of replacement made on Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovich it is hard to expect that Russian Duma will not send him to the Route 66. Knowing that the Lord is willing to trade Holy Land in exchange of his fiance, they do everything for the Israel and the West to send her there. And he is blocking this process.
If he will execute such order, he will be eliminated. And so, it seems that it is best for him to desert, as he nether does not want to be Kamikaze, nor want to kill the Lord. However then, a Nina Bolshevik companions would blame him for betrayal and will probably kill him in next days opening Israeli replacement and their fist trip to Ukraine.
By deserting or rather resisting he have a chance that after American Election - the Israeli side will change a mind, like they did in orginal St. Petersburg and will decide to not cross this external frontier.
By releasing my fiance or sending her somewhere else, where it will be easy to recall her. It was such a case of 1914 when she has been sent to German Silesia and released in curse of the Silesian Plebiscite.
It is also something that the Russian Duma shall consider, as in between the War time, driven by same wish they was cutting of the Zion, while Germans was delusively shouting 'in zakaz' - 'in ban'. Nether I - the key to Bet Horon - nor my fiances shall be sent into Russian hands. It was strictly prohibited and shall be so now by the European Union.
This Sisyphus story of Sigismund von Unruh that Belgians can observe on our street and that was described in Alexanda Kraushara book often repeats also in the Eastern cabinets. It shows you how prone the Zionists leaders are, when State of Israel is for whatever reasons trying to commit national suicide.
Instead of supporting them, they are effectively causing their murdering. Risking that the stone that our Sisyphus are pushing will crumple them, as once did with the Sodom and Gomorrah. Or Nagasaki and Hiroshima, if you prefer.

Job-hunting resources for seniors

Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend some good resources to help job-hunting seniors? I'm 60 years old and have been out of work for nearly six months now and need some help. What can you tell me?
Seeking Employment
Dear Seeking,
The tough employment market over the past few years has been particularly hard on people over the age of 55. Fortunately, there are a number of online tools and in-person training centers scattered across the country today that can help. Here's what you should know.
In-Person Help
A good first step to get help finding a job is at a Career One-Stop center. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, these are free job resource centers that can help you explore career options, search for jobs, find training, write a resume, prepare for an interview and much more. There are around 3,000 of these centers located throughout the country. To find one near you, call 877-348-0502 or go to careeronestop.org.
Depending on your financial situation, another program that may help is the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). Also sponsored by the Department of Labor, SCSEP offers access to training and part time job placements in a wide variety of community service positions such as day care centers, senior centers, governmental agencies, schools, hospitals, libraries and landscaping centers. To qualify, participants must be over 55, unemployed and earning less than 125 percent of the federal poverty level -- $13,600 a year. Unfortunately, 2011 federal budget cuts have significantly reduced this program funding, but it's still a viable option. To learn more or locate a program in your area visit
or call 877-872-5627.
AARP WorkSearch
Another resource that offers free job help is the AARP Foundation WorkSearch Virtual Job Coach program. This is a volunteer-run program that helps any job-seeker (you don't need to be an AARP member), age 40 and older, by connecting you with a trained volunteer to help you search for jobs and get training. The coaching is typically done via e-mail or over the phone. Call 877-659-0969 or visit aarpworksearch.org to find help.
Online Resources
There's also a wide array of online employment networks that can help you connect with companies that are interested in hiring older workers. One of the best is retirementjobs.com, which offers a job search engine that lists more than 30,000 jobs nationwide from companies that are actively seeking workers over the age of 50. It also provides job-seeking tips and advice, helps with resume writing and allows you to post your resume online for companies to find you.
Start a Business
If you're interested in starting a small business but could use some help getting started, turn to the U.S. Small Business Administration which offers tips, tools and free online courses that you can access at sba.gov. Also see score.org a nonprofit association that provides free business advice for entrepreneurs.

Police: Man shot in Danby dies, woman stabbed expected to surviveJune 17,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Vermont State Police investigate a shooting and stabbing Monday in Danby.
Staff Report
The stepmother of a Danby man who police said fatally shot a New York man Sunday night said the day after the incident that Michael White was only acting to defend his girlfriend and their children from harm.
"If he weren't there, he could have killed her. He defended his family," said Debbie White, the stepmother of Michael White, who police named Monday morning as the man who fatally shot Aaron Allen, 28, of Hudson Falls, N.Y.
Standing outside her home just hundreds of feet from the scene of the incident on John Corey Road, Debbie White said Allen had made repeated visits to the road and issued multiple threats.
"He said he was going to come up here and shoot everyone," Debbie White said of Allen.
The stepmother said that Michael White and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Heather Thompson, had been living together in a rented mobile home owned by her husband. The pair was fixing up the unit while raising two children, White's 6-year-old daughter and Thompson's 15-month-old daughter, who was fathered by Allen, according to Debbie White.
Allen, who police said had been shot twice by Michael White, was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Thompson, who police said Allen stabbed multiple times, is being treated at the Rutland hospital and is expected to survive. Debbie White said Thompson had to undergo surgery and was recovering at the hospital Monday with Michael White by her side.
The stepmother added that Michael White was never taken into custody.
Police said they were called to a home on John Corey Road in Danby around 7:30 p.m. Sunday for a reported shooting and stabbing. Police said through an investigation they learned that Allen arrived at the home and attacked Thompson. Michael White, 24, of Danby, who was at the residence and is Thompson's current boyfriend, witnessed the attacked, according to police.
"White subsequently discharged a rifle, of an undetermined make and caliber, striking Allen twice," police wrote in a press release.
Police said the Thompson had an active restraining order from New York against Allen, and Allen also had pending criminal charges in New York involving the woman for an incident that took place in April for offenses including unlawful imprisonment.
Once the investigation is complete, police said, it will be forwarded to the Rutland County state's attorney's office for review.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - San Diego-based sailors are taking action in the Philippines. The crew of the USS Cowpens arrived in the typhoon-ravaged country and immediately started helping distribute food, water and assistance.
The families of sailors on board the San Diego-based USS Cowpens say they couldn't be prouder to see their loved ones providing much needed relief to the people on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. Exclusive photos are giving all of us a rare glimpse into the work that's being done to help provide water, food, and supplies, especially a photo of William Casson, an air crewman working with the Cowpens handing out candy to a group of starving, yet smiling children.
"Oh it just warmed my heart, it brought tears to my eyes because it's showing that they're doing good," military wife Robin Snyder said.
Snyder's husband, Petty Officer Zachary Snyder, is making sure things run smoothly on the ship.
"He said you can see the devastation from the ship and it's just wiped out, there's no... it's heartbreaking," Robin said.
Command Master Chief Gabe Keeton, who CBS News 8 interviewed when the Cowpens deployed from San Diego in September, tells his wife amber this mission is truly rewarding.
"It really touched him and he thought, okay, and he thought this is what we're here for, to put a smile on their faces and just let a fellow man know people care," Amber Keeton said.
The Cowpens is bringing much relief to people here in the U.S. as well, including CBS News 8 associate producer Al Columbo, who has family in the Philippines and hasn't had an update from them in four days.
"The sailors are taking the care packages they got from loved ones and giving them to the kids," Columbo said.
The military families we spoke to miss their husbands and dads.
"It's been kind of sad. But happy he is out there helping the Philippines," sailor's son Haydon Holzhauer said.
"We miss him terribly. I mean every day is a struggle, but with him doing something good makes it a little easier. There's more to be thankful for this year," Snyder said.
The families say they're usually given very few updates about where their loved ones are, and the three wives we talked to Monday say this is one of the most high-profile deployments their husbands have had, with most certainly the biggest impact.

I was going to create an ongoing blog series that focused on historical figures who were famous but no one remembers why. It was going to be called "Relics of Obscurity". I decided that the first subject would be Millard Fillmore.
Millard Fillmore was President. His first and last name sort of rhyme. It seemed like a good idea, in a cut your own hair sort of way. Its not surprising that"Relics of Obscurity" ran aground.
Several times a week, people come into the library looking for a Chilton's manual to help them while they are working on their cars. There are so many different makes, models and years of cars, so it can be difficult to find the exact manual you need at the library when you need it. Luckily you are now able to access that information online, either at the library or from the convenience of your own home, instantly.

Well the answer is yes. While "electronic resource" can mean a few of different things, the upshot is that the title is usually available, just not physically.

Essential Info
Imagery in the 21st Century
We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's informatio explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual.
Imagery in the 21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the image in our time.
The contributors explore and discuss new critical terms of multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to the dramaturgy of hypermedia, from visualizations in neurosciences to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in the development of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of visual phenomena, and examine new tools for image research and visual analysis. The goal is to expand visual competence in investigating new visual worlds and to build cross-disciplinary exchanges among the arts, humanities, and natural sciences.
About the Editor
Oliver Grau is Professor for Image Science and Dean of the Department for Cultural Studies at Danube University. He is the author of Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion (2003) and editor of MediaArtHistories (2007), both published by the MIT Press.
"Internationally renowned contributors from the arts, science & humanities examine this latest Œrevolution of the image and its implications for our contemporary globalized media society ...thus a highly recommended read to discover individually."—Pamela C. Scorzin, Journal of Art History
"I was thrilled to read Grau's and Veigl's Imagery in the 21st Century and I will use it in my teaching. Imagery in the 21st Century is a fabulous resource for the reflection on contemporary visuality"—Trebor Scholz, NEW SCHOOL NY, ARTHIST
"The authors systematically make comprehensible the challenges of visuality in the 21st century, and for the detailed analysis of concrete problems apply new tools and analysis forms in image science and digital humanities."—Mikhail Stepanov, International Journal of Culture Research
"The editors demonstrate the importance to recontextualise the latest images with historic art and a poetic need of reinterpreting old optical media for a better understanding and redefinition of the image in itshistoric dimension."—Cleomar Rocha, Visualidades, Brasil
"Even though we have just stepped into the 21st century, the texts in the book are ... indispensable reading for the development of visual and media literacy essential for communication and social interaction in a dominantly visual world we live in." —Jelena Guga, Nova Misao, Serbia
"The analphabets of the future will not be those, who cannot read,but those who don't know how to see and understand visually. The anthology Imagery in the 21st Century by Oliver Grau has seen and understood this prophetic writing on the wall by Walter Benjamin."—Bent Fausing, Mediaculture

The Finest Ingredients That Nature Has To Offer
I started Pomona Chocolates in 2009 because I wanted to create luxury chocolates that taste as exquisite as they look. The company is named for the Roman harvest goddess Pomona, and with that inspiration, we really have to use only the finest, most beautiful ingredients that nature has to offer. Colors and flavors are inspired by the change of seasons; combining fruit, flowers, teas and coffees with spices and herbs from all over the world. The flavors may be ever evolving, but the commitment to deliver a first rate chocolate experience is constant. The chocolate that we use comes from the finest chocolate manufacturers in Belgium, France and Switzerland.
"Julie Lachowyn is doing a fantastic job with her original and quality chocolates. Each and every chocolate and palet she prepares is out of this world. Julie, keep doing what you are doing, you're awesome!"

Shepard Fairey: "disconnecting images of important struggles from their roots" since 1989.
hey, do you need a reminder of how disgusting Shepard Fairey's career is?
here are two images, one produced by Felix Beltrán in 1971 to raise awareness about the political imprisonment of Angela Davis, and one "made" by Fairey in 2003 to advance his art career and work toward his lifelong goal of stealing, sterilizing, and rebranding once-subversive images and symbols, in order to protect those in power. this is just one example among many where Fairey copied directly from images produced by and for liberation movements of the 1960's and 70's, removed all historical and political context and any credit to the original artist, and reproduced new versions of these images, often on a huge scale in the form of mass-produced t-shirts and posters. each image is emptied of any political significance, disconnected from a specific social movement or moment in time, and left as an abstract symbol of the possibility of rebellion— and that rebellion, Fairey tells us later, really is best expressed by talking about peace and voting for the democratic party.
this is basically a perfect example of what the situationists called recuperation:
the process by which politically radical ideas and images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed, defused, incorporated, annexed and commodified within media culture and bourgeois society, and thus become interpreted through a neutralized, innocuous or more socially conventional perspective.
Favianna Rodriguez explains: [and this whole article is worth reading]
Fairey loves to rip off the art of people who are part of the counter culture, many times they are people of color, or groups who have fought for social justice, or radicals who have fought against their own countries. In my opinion, this is commodification. The fact that he feels entitled to do this points at his white privilege and white entitlement. When you rip off Cuban artists, Chicano artists, even groups like the Black Panthers - and you fail to give credit - that to me is an excercise of white privilege.
Josh MacPhee has also written a lot about Fairey. Here's a nugget:
The People's History posters are not about taking graphics from history, but producing new graphics about that history, and encouraging people to learn, to pique their interest. In some ways, Shepard's project is the complete inverse of that. His is about stripping the historical context from actual graphics and using them to make money because they imply some sense of authenticity. …
What is important to me is how Fairey exemplifies in many ways the operational model of capitalism. He extracts resources largely from political struggles of Third World and working class people, and then simultaneously sells a slightly processed version of the resources to both wealthy elites in the North, but also cheaper mass-commodity versions to the very same people he is stealing from!
but, of course, it's complicated. some guy who created FUCT, a clothing brand that claims to be the "synonym of anti-consumerism and progressive thinking by leading the path of decadent and counter-culture aesthetics" [wut!?!], says he was the first person to steal this picture of Angela Davis (and deprive it of context, and fail to credit the original artist) for advertisements and t-shirts, and Fairey just stole from him. so who's really to blame? (another complication: as Rodriguez points out, "copyright laws work in the favor of the corporate elite" and are usually used by states & corporations to punish and censor artists. then again, she adds, Fairey is pretty much part of the corporate elite at this point.)
it would be easy here to say "blah all art involves using & building off of other people's ideas, forms, and techniques, [anarchists may add: 'and copyright is a crock of statist shit'] so it doesn't really matter", but i think that's a fallacy, just like saying "blah all the stores at the mall exploit their workers, from poor women of color in maquilas all the way up to folks working in retail, so it doesn't really matter which one i shop at" [which, by the way, is a thing that most of us believe]. ultimately, even though i don't give a fuck about copyright & the legal system it's a part of, i still think it's mega shitty to steal, recuperate, and profit from imagery like this.
what can be done? i don't know. Fairey's getting tarnished a little in the mainstream media, and facing legal repercussions, for "destroying documents, manufacturing evidence and other misconduct" while being sued for using an AP image in his Obama "HOPE" poster, but that may just make his claim to be representing 'authentic' dissent or rebellion stronger. situationists tell us that detournement, the opposite of recuperation, is a strategy, but it's hard to imagine even the most successful mass-media 'culture jamming' giving Fairey the comeuppance he deserves. should we deface all his public art? yes. should we try to educate everyone wearing an "obey" hat or t-shirt? sure. should we consider some method of derailing the retail operation around "obey" products? probably. should
we someone beat him up again? sure, why the hell not.
thanks for reading.

In response to:
pretty much. The calcified establishment reps just wanted somebody who was not threatening to the status quo, so they could look compassionate. Let us see what they can still say, in 4 years, from the obummer "relocation camps". The useful idiots from across the aisle will be the first to go there.
Any change requires pain. Whatever we are doing now is easy (we think) compared to change, whatever it may be. Changing is hard. It requires us to think anew, to change our habits, our processes, our language. It's venturing out into the unknown. Without a compelling reason, people will stay the same and not change.
People begin to change only when the pain of what they are doing becomes more painful than the pain of change.
Republicans -- it is time for change.
The election last week was painful -- at least for me, a lifetime conservative.
