City, port move ahead with waterfront development
By Jack Kintner
The Port of Bellingham and the city of Blaine are moving ahead with development plans on the Blaine waterfront, calling for proposals this month from private developers interested in doing projects in what the city's master plan calls the Wharf District. The process seeks to identify one master developer with which the port and city can set up a public-private partnership. The developer would be expected to provide part of the infrastructure, such as sidewalks along Milhollin Drive, as well as build commercial buildings that would provide a return on the developer's investment.
The district is centered on Marine Drive and runs west from Peace Portal Drive out to the public pier, and includes the boat launch, Blaine's 629-slip marina, Marine Park and several privately-owned businesses and buildings.
Blaine's director of community development Terry Galvin said that plans call for the initial development in the district to occur on a five and a quarter acre parcel on Milhollin Drive. The area is currently occupied by web lockers for Blaine's fishing fleet but is mostly vacant land.
The parcel is one of seven planning areas into which the district has been divided. "The first area is a transition strip between the wharf district and downtown and runs north and south between Peace Portal and the railroad right-of-way," said Galvin. "West of that is an open area running from the boat launch north to Marine Drive. The third area will become mixed commercial and residential," Galvin said.
Blaine Marine Services is the major business in the immediate area and is adjacent to the parcel set for development. Sylvia Goodwin, director of planning and development for the Port of Bellingham, said that the port wants to keep Blaine Marine Services "right where it is."
As with other business on port property, the business owners own the buildings but lease the land they sit on from the port.
The time table calls for proposals to be submitted by October 31 in order for the port and city to make a selection by December 19. Once a choice is made, construction on the proposed projects would begin next summer.
An information packet is available from the office of Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic. More information is also available from the port's real estate development manager Shirley McFearin at 360/676-2500.

we provide organic, eco-friendly, and chemical-free products, plus items
to beautify your home and spirit.
As a small
volunteer-run nonprofit, we can't compete with the pricing at large stores. However,
having no paid staff allows all our net proceeds to fund cancer research and treatment
for working dogs. Sit, stay & shop for
what truly matters — health, home, happiness and healing.
of the Snook's Products are handmade from Human Grade Organic and Natural
Ingredients. Patrice and Chris Snook, have a genuine love and concern for the
health and safety of their own animals as well as ours. They take special care
in creating their products to make sure they are gentle, but also effective.
Sold at Animal Skin and Allergy Clinics, as well as Holistic Veterinary Clinics,
they are prefect for dogs with skin sensitivities.
Snook's Sweet Potato Dog Chews™ were
the first sweet potato chews to enter the market. And, we feel no one
has them beat. There are no other potato & rope chews on the market and
Snook's Chips are the only treats made from Organic potatoes. They
are also the only company to utilize Natural Vitamin E. While chew size is
generally determined by a dog's weight, small dogs love the larger sized chews
as well. Dogs actually like to play with and rub their bodies over the hemp once
the potato pieces have been
eaten. If you have a multiple dog household and need to keep the peace during
chew-time, buying a few different sizes can help with differentiating one dog's
chew from another.
Snook's Chemical-Free Hemp chews are a healthy choice for dogs to chew on, toss
around and tug on! Hemp, which is easy on the soil and is
naturally inhospitable to pests, actually thrives without the use of pesticides.
A strong, lustrous fiber, hemp withstands heat, mildew and insects. It is easy
to wash, durable and softens with use. By using hemp, the strongest natural
fiber, we are ensuring durability and benefiting our environment.
Although higher costs are
the initial objection to going organic, people are
essentially unaware of the critical differences between organic &
non-organic products. In a March 2006 article on
produce losing vitamins and minerals over the past
50 years, agriculture and nutrition tradeoffs are detailed. "The fruits and
vegetables that our parents ate when they were growing up were more
nutritious than the ones we'll serve our children tonight. As we
have substituted chemical fertilizers, pesticides and monoculture
farming for the natural cycling of nutrients and on-farm
biodiversity, we have lessened the nutritional value of our
Non-organic fruits and vegetables are repeatedly sprayed and
subjected to much pesticide. In fact, there are pesticides and
chemical compounds commonly utilized to prolong shelf-life. When you
eat non-organic sweet potatoes, you ingest the pesticide botran

substances are cancer causing and sources of immune system damage. They cannot be removed by
peeling and are used to allow longer shelf life, not fresher or
safer food.
The shelf life for sweet potatoes, because of the application of
these harmful chemicals, is a huge 36 months. That means, the
potatoes you could be buying are not only questionable with respect
to toxicity, they are also lower in nutrients due to the amount of
time they may be waiting for distribution. Organic sweet potatoes,
which do not utilize such
pesticides or fungicides, have a shelf life of only 9 months. Organic fruits and vegetables have been shown to be
in nutrients, and
studies have clearly proven the case for organics.
tastes better and
reduces pesticide exposure. Organic produce
contains 30% higher levels of antioxidants and organic farming can
cut mycotoxin risk by over 50%.
[Further discussion of mycotoxins
can be
found here.]
Non-organic chemical farming methods, which can speed up growth
rates, cause structural changes to the plant─the
plant then containing more water. That means the plant will
contain less nutrients. In other words when you buy organic produce
you get more potato for your potato. Organic plants also
contain10-15% more phenolics, defense compounds believed to be
helpful in preventing diseases such as cancer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Sweet Potato Chews
are not meant to be consumed quickly as it is a concentrated amount of sweet
potato that your dog would be ingesting. Only allow your dog to chew off 1-2
potato pieces at a daily sitting. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, that time
taken could be rather short. So, monitoring is necessary. Also, it is best to
have your dog work on his chew on a floor surface or outdoors.

Comments about 16'' Industrial Floor Fan:
the main thing about the fan is that I need a fan with a long cord and most I seen were 6 foot or so, no extensions cords at work so the 9 foot cord was perfect, met OSHA's standard, would buy another one if needed,
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mitsubishi has just unveiled the 2014 Outlander at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2014 Outlander will receive an updated exterior and a new engine, featuring a new version of Mitsubishi's advanced MIVEC continuously-variable valve lift timing system for increased fuel economy. According to Mitsubishi these updates will make the new Outlander the most fuel-efficient CUVs with standard 7-passenger seating in the North American market.
The 2014 Outlander has received a fresh new contemporary face that is both appealing and functional with reduced aerodynamic drag. The SUV is also 200 pounds lighter than the current Outlander.

All TPMA events are included with your annual TPMA membership.
In business, vision isn't some mythical ability to see the future. It's about being able to recognize a pattern and apply it to something new, before others see it coming.
In this discussion, Peter Sweeney from Primal.com will introduce you to one such pattern, the incubation of new media within old media. We'll then review some examples of how the pattern has repeated itself over the past 30-years, from one Big Thing to the Next.
We'll then apply the pattern in the here-and-now, to see how it points to The Next Big Things for your products and business.
Peter Sweeney (@petersweeney) is Founder & President of Primal, his third internet venture over the past 17-years. He's a prolific inventor with over 50 patents and patents pending underlying Primal's technology. As a thought leader, Peter has spoken at numerous conferences, including the Wolfram Data Summit, Semantic Technology Conference, Web 3.0, and the IA Summit.

NOTE: The Ivy Tech Financial Aid Office, in the process of reviewing a student's UEH flag, will check the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for complete enrollment history
|Review Periods:
How to resolve: All students with UEH flag 3 and some students with UEH flag 2 will be required to provide to Ivy Tech their academic transcripts or grade reports from all colleges and universities attended during the review period. If Pell Grants were received and credit hours (passing grades: A - D) were not earned at each institution attended during these award years, the student may be determined ineligible for further federal financial aid. The Financial Aid Office has the authority to require an official academic transcript from any/all colleges attended during the review period if the documents you submit are unclear.
Appealing the ineligibility determination: if a student has been determined by Ivy Tech to be ineligible for federal student aid on the basis of (or lack of) documentation, he/she may appeal the determination by contacting the Financial Aid Office.
Regaining federal student aid eligibility: Students whose aid eligibility is denied as a result of their UEH can be re-considered for federal student aid after meeting with an academic advisor, enrolling for three academic terms only in courses that are required by their program, not dropping or withdrawing from (officially or unofficially) any courses after the term begins, and meeting the College's standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). To review the complete SAP policy, visit www.ivytech.edu/financial-aid/SAP/.
Annual, Aggregate, and Lifetime Limits, and Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements:
To help students achieve academic success before exhausting federal financial aid limits, Ivy Tech requires students to seek academic advising when planning their course schedules and throughout their college experience. When facing academic difficulties, students are encouraged to seek tutoring and other support services through their advisor.

Top 10 of 2013: Building better budgets through new, original research
This month, we're looking back at some of Smart Growth America's brightest moments and greatest accomplishments from 2013. Today's highlight? Our July report that showed just how much smart growth strategies can benefit municipalities' bottom lines.
Building Better Budgets: A National Examination of the Fiscal Benefits of Smart Growth Development set out to find how much cities and towns have saved, on average, by using smart growth strategies. The report collected 17 studies from cities across the country that compared two or more development scenarios. The majority of these studies found that a smart growth approach would improve the city's finances, whether by saving money on upfront infrastructure, reducing the cost of ongoing services or by generating greater tax revenues in years to come.

According to a new sex survey from"Cosmopolitan", the average man is WAY less sexually experienced than he'd like you to believe. And because he's had so little sex . . . he's randomly horny and in a state of constant regret.
Here are five findings from the survey . . .
1. The average man has had sex with just THREE WOMEN or less.
2. So, naturally, the most common REGRET men have about their sexual past is . . . they wish they'd had sex with more women. The number two regret is wishing they'd been more adventurous.
3. HALF of men in a relationship secretly wish they could have sex with a female friend . . . 32% wish they could have sex with a friend's girlfriend . . . 32% want to have sex with an ex again . . . and 18% wish they could have sex with a coworker.
4. 42% of men surveyed say they've cheated on a girlfriend or their wife. Four out of five felt guilty afterward.
5. 28% of men have tried BONDAGE, and another 23% want to.
So the racial lawsuit that destroyed Paula Dean she just won. So all of her endorsements and sponsors left her….then she actually wins that lawsuit that started it all……does this mean that she will get somke of her endorsements back…probably not anytime soon if at all…..but she did win the lawsuit that caused it.
Britney Spears is set to open a pizza shop in Las Vegas. Mainly so that her children's father can have a place to work.
Kate Upton said she felt objectified when she first appeared on the cover of the"Sports Illustrated"Swimsuit Issue. So, shame on whoever the cruel bastard was who put a gun to her head and forced her to pose for it!
Robbie Knievel! Ya know…..Legendary daredevil EVIL Knivels son….who is his father's son and also likes the dare devil lifestyle…well he was arrested recently for DUI in his motorhome and I guess he called into TMZ today and said a lot of things that…maybe he shouldn't have said, but then again he probably doesn't care either. He said "I'm a cowboy, not a redneck, but love whiskey. He said he's always been an alcoholic and always will be and will never do anything about it. He said he drinks and drives motorcycles because that's his deal. He said he shouldn't be drinking and driving because he could kill someone, and it would be a lot better if he killed himself, but he's not suicidal…..However, I do think he may be a little crazy.
Kenny Ortega had some truthful harsh words in the Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Trial today. He basically said that MJ is responsible for what led to his death. He said Michael was not acting responsibly at all. He also said that MJ and Dr. Conrad Murray were in charge of anything having to do with MJ's well being and no one could do anything about it.
Kim Kardashian's launching a clothing line for babies….ya know, because her new child being a baby isn 't a good excuse to not be profiting the family somehow.
So Usher Raymond V …ya know…Ushers 5 year old son who almost drown in Ushers pool Monday is back to normal and all is well, but Ushers Ex is using the whole thing as a major tool for a new custody battle. She states in the docs that he was left unattended and that's why it happened, but other reports contradict that claim and that he got his arm stuck, had immediate assistance and it was just a crazy fluke thing. I don't know everything, but it just seems like she is using this whole thing as a big tool for custody….but who knows.
Hulk Hogan is now in the process of developing a movie about his life! Oh boy….I don't even know what to say about this. I mean…I suppose if it's done right maybe it could be ok….but who is actually going to play Hulk?! I mean…it can't be the actual Hulk….would you see it…..I may wait until it pops up on cable.
More speculative rumors today about Ryan Gosling as the new BATMAN! Because nothing fights crime like being all HOT to the ladies!
And reliable sources have reported that Jennifer Lawrence is on the verge of a nervous breakdown! I get it….Rich, Gorgeous, and famous….I mean…what's there to be happy about?!
So it was a scary day yesterday for Usher as his 5 year old son almost drowned in his pool at his mansion. Usher wasn't there, but the 911 call was placed by the aunt Rena Oden. They resuscitated the child and rushed him to the hospital. He's fine now, but Ushers Ex has filed emergency legal docs for full custody because she feels the children aren't safe….bad week for Usher and Family….gotta watch 5 year olds near a pool. Scary.
And this is kinda funny, J-Lo said that she spends an hour in the Gym before every concert. Simon Cowell has the same routine before going on X-Factor but he spends it with his friends wives.
And speculative rumor has it that Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling are being looked at for the new role as Batman! Not sure if that's the right role for Gosling, but I can see Brolin as Batman.
Speaking of Ryan Gosling, after a survey he is the celebrity most women would want to see in a sex tape. WHAT!? How did Gosling beat out Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan?!
Bieber and his boys being investigated for yet another incident! Saturday night Justin and his crew go into the VIP section of south point nightclub in South Hampton. A woman approaches to talk to Bieber and gets denied….then I guess she returns again and has this guy with her (The alleged victim)….the guy and Bieber exchange words and I guess Justin Flips out….rips his shirt off and starts yelling and screaming at the guy…all while being held back by his boys…..So the Biebs and his crew leave the club, and I guess things escalated again in the parking lot…and the guy got beat so bad that he was laying in the parking lot and had to go to the hospital! What is with this kid! And why is he always ripping his shirt off everywhere!? And why is always flipping out at people?!!
Simon Cowell is upset about all this bad press he is getting from knocking up his friends wife. His baby mama Lauren Silverman is going through a divorce with hubby Andrew and now Simon is pressuring her to settle so the media attention on it SETTLES DOWN. I guess Simon made it clear to her that because of the Prenup she won't get much and he will make a way better offer to her on the side to end it quickly!
Rumors are that J-Lo and Kieth Urban are going to return to American Idol……But If I were them I'd be worried about the audience returning to American Idol this next season.
Andrew Silverman the real estate mogul who's WIFE is pregnant with his good friend Simon Cowells BABY! Well, I wondered this the other day and today it came out. Andrew Silverman is shocked, disappointed and humiliated over the whole thing…..No word from Simon on any of it….but something tells me they may not be friends anymore….just a hunch.
Matt Lauer was shut down in his attempt at an Interview with Clevelend Kidnapper Ariel Castro….Matt was pretty slick too, because he just showed up at the jail and said he was there to interview Ariel Castro…like it was pre-planned. I guess it was just bad timing because during that time media was off limits….Nice try Matt!
Tiger Woods almost beat his lowest competitive round record and shot a 61 in round 2 at the Bridgestone. Wow….thats some really good golf there.
And Ryan Braun has been dropped by Nike over Steroid Use…..Nike obviously has no tolerance for the juicing,,,,,but if your cheating on your wife with a million other women across America….Thats no big deal…right Tiger?!
So Justin Biebers Best Friend Lil Twist has been named in a police report and accused of battery at Biebs Mansion. It actually happened really early this morning. A woman was at Biebers house at 3:30 this morning….so it was obviously the after-party…she decided it was time to take off, but when she tried to leave according to the report Twist Forcefully grabbed her arm in an aggressive manner and tried to force her to stay….well that moment convinced her to drive to the nearest Sherrifs Office and file a report….now cops are investigating the incident….Justin was not at home at the time….So….yeah technically Bieber, again won't be implicated, but it's still his Posse making him look bad, as usual..Nice going Twist.
Lindsay Lohan is being clear she has no plans to cut her father out of her life….she stated that despite his many flaws he's actually a very positive influence on her, and wants him to be a big part of her rebuilding herself after Rehab…Awww……that's nice….some Lohan family bonding.
So I broke the story yesterday and it's all over the place today about Simon Cowell expecting a child with his buddy's wife, Well, this could seriously tarnish his reputation. Unless he's running for office in New York, then it's all good I guess.
According to a new survey, 70% of us think RUDENESS is a national CRISIS. 95% of us agree the country has a rudeness problem, and the average person deals with 17 acts of rudeness per week . . . or between two and three instances every day.
Half of those happen online. So for the first time, Americans say the INTERNET is the main culprit, with 70% of people agreeing that it's causing more people to be disrespectful in general. Here are five more things the survey found.

George Zimmerman got pulled over for speeding…and dashcam caught all of it…Zimmerman is still armed and pudgy…..he politely informed the cop that he has a firearm in his glove box….I guess he had a permit and he was sent on his way….
How about this for a little soap opera spin……A woman named Lauren Silverman is almost 3 months pregnant with Simon Cowells child….here is the catch though….Lauren is the wife of one of Simon Cowells best friends…real estate mogul Andrew Silverman…..Now, Lauren and Andrew have been going through a divorce for a while but it is not official yet by any means…..I guess my question is….Are Simon and Andrew still friends….does Andrew Care? There's no word on if it has created any bad blodd….wierd…
Michael Phelps is not closing the door on competing in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In other exciting swimming news . . . the other day Ryan Lochte successfully spelled the word "cat."
A new survey asked men to name the one thing their IDEAL WOMAN is least likely to do. Here's some good news: You can pound liquor, curse like a longshoreman, and own a house full of cats . . . as long as you don't smoke.
34% said their ideal woman is least likely to SMOKE . . . that's at least DOUBLE the votes of any of the other options. Here's the rest of the list . . .
17% said their ideal woman is least likely to get plastic surgery.
11% said overeat.
10% said gossip.
8% said drink heavily.
8% said own cats.
And 6% said curse.

Kristen Stewart got really mad at the paparazzi yesterday. One of em caught up with her and she kinda hid behind this fence where you could kind of see her but not really well…..and she said a lot of very mean vulgar things that I can't repeat on the radio, but one of them was when she told the guy, "You don't deserve to breathe the same air I do!"….Calm down Kristen….you knew the Paparazzi would be a factor the day you took the Twil;ight role!
Eddie Murphy has signed on to do a fourth"Beverly Hills Cop" movie….pretty dangerous move now-a-days because that movie will either be REALLY GOOD, or REALLY BAD…and it scares me that it may be leaning toward the latter.
Miley Cyrus revealed she enjoys smoking weed……right, because nobody knew that Miley…..major news there.
Doctors extended Amanda Bynes' psychiatric hold until she's well. In other words, Amanda Bynes will never leave her psychiatric hold.
Justin Biebers tour bus got stopped and then searched and they seized a bunch of marijuana and paraphernalia. They were stopped right at the Canada/Michigan border so it was not as big of a deal there legally as other places. The cops took their stuff, gave them a ticket and sent them on their way.
Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and her hubby Joe are facing huge criminal charges from bank fraud to tax evasion and both face up to 50 years in prison if convicted. So they are having a bad week for sure.
The cast of Return of The Jedi showed up for a reunion at a fan convention in Germany. Harrison Ford wasn't able to make it due to the scheduling conflict of still having a career.
Amanda Bynes parents have now filed for conservatorship on their daughter…..because that's what happens when you have no clue how to function your own adult life.
Officials say after reviewing this week's fire evidence, Amanda Bynes won't be charged with a crime. But after posting that selfie, Geraldo WILL.
Geraldo Rivera said he had been drinking when he posted that half-naked picture of himself on Twitter . . . still no excuse for that mustache.
So with all the Anthony Wiener statements this week the cats out of the bag! Sydney Elaine Leathers is Anthony Wieners latest sexting partner…..and today the sexting pics are all over cyberspace…and he was sexting with her..AFTER…the sexting scandal came out on him and he SAID he was done with it….but he now admitted to the sexting with her and says he really IS done with it all this time.....Riiiiigggghhhhht.
Ten black previous "American Idol" contestants from numerous seasons filed a lawsuit against the show. They claim being unjustly booted because of their race ... and they EACH want $25 million ... minimum. Their accusingproducers of a "cruel and inhumane" scheme to exploit them for ratings by illegally digging up their arrest histories and using records to humiliate them on national TV…..wow…25 Million each! That's way more than if they would have WON the competition itself….we''ll see how that turns out.
..And Dancing With The Stars is interested in PAULA DEEN!! Lol, not sure if that would be the best move for her, but it would be great for Dancing With The Stars Ratings.
And it's now being said by the people involved that Amanda Bynes is showing signs of Schizophrenia. She's now being kept on an Involuntary Psychiatric Hold…finally.
The Royal BABY!! Prince George Alexander…..I'm kinda with TMZ on this one that it's a play right out of the ROYAL PLAYBOOK and kinda boring….yay…another PRINCE GEORGE! Never heard that one before.
Courtney Love is writing a memoir. It will cover the years of
her life she remembers….. based on that I'm guessing it will be about two
pages long.
So TMZ is roasting Aaron Rodgers now for not paying up on a 2nd lost bet. One fan challenged Rodgers, saying, "you really believe Braun didn't use performance enhancing drugs???" And Rodgers responded: "ya, I'd put my salary next year on it."…Here's the thing. These little statements that Rodgers makes aren't actually bets unless an actual BET is MADE! I could say to anyone, "Yeah I'd bet my house the Packers win the Superbowl this year!", and if they didn't it's not like I OWE MY HOUSE TO SOMEONE! Why? Because the term I'D is short for I WOULD, not I DID. Aaron should just make more "I'd" bets for everything now just to show he doesn't care.
There's talk George Clooney and Eva Longoria are dating. Talk that will quickly come to an end once he realizes she's over 28.
And the ROYAL BABY! Media coverage on the whole thing going strong from all angles! It's almost as if it's the most important baby that's ever been born! Not that it's not important, I love babies, congrats to Kate on the BABY BOY…..Once the royal baby arrived, a document was signed by a member of the royal medical staff and driven by police escort to Buckingham Palace where the official birth announcement was made. The whole thing involved almost as much ceremonial pageantry as Gwyneth Paltrow's evening bath.
So Kanye has no patience for the paparazzi. My opinion always stays the same on these issues, if you don't want to ever deal with paparazzi.....well....then don't ever do anything that may result in massive fame. Kanye actually mentions that the paparazzi wants to get him into trouble and get him to do something....then....Kanye actually does something and gets all physical about it! What a moron. I will never feel sorry for a celebrity that can't handle the paparazzi. However, it doesn't mean I have great respect for the paparazzi either, but it comes with the territory. Video below.
Actor Dennis Farina dies of a blood clot at age 69. He was the star of Law & Order, appeared in films such as Get Shorty, Snatch, Goodfellas, Striking Distance.
MLB 2011 MVP Ryan Braun is now
suspended without pay for the rest of the season due to allegations of
substance abuse..meaning juicing.
Braun made a statement saying in part ... "I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization. I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed -- all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates. I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love."….I have a feeling he is the first of many to get these charges…just a hunch.
And Selena Gomez turns 21 today. I guess Justin Bieber and his friends are throwing her a huge party . . . and because they can't yet…are probably asking her to buy all the beer.
So the DJ that Justin Bieber allegedly but probably for sure SPIT ON on in Ohio the other night filed a police report on the incident. I guess Justin trashed his mother, trashed his father, trashed him and then spit in his face. I guess he doesn't want to go any further than the police report right now, but, I find it funny that after the incident the DJ immediately went out and got tested for Hepatitis…..I probably would too.
Lindsay Lohan is getting $2 million to do her reality show. To put that number in perspective, take Lindsay Lohan's current income, then add two million dollars.
Courtney Stodden and Amanda Bynes are engaged in a Twitter war:
. . . While it's difficult to tell who the winner is, the loser is America, for being a place where this story somehow counts as "news."
Kris Jenner says there may be a Kim and Kanye wedding in the future. She didn't specify when, but my guess is "sweeps."
Robert Downey Jr. is the highest paid actor in Hollywood
. . . Quite a switch from when he was just the HIGHEST actor in Hollywood.
So Charlie Sheen is now officially a Grandpa! His 28 year old daughter Cassandra Esteves gave birth to a baby girl named Luna…and Charlie in his own winning way made a creative Sheen style comment, "It's impossibly a most wondrous day. My bucket list is a thimble!"…Whatever that means.
They're making Honey Boo Boo scratch 'n' sniff cards. Just one question? What does sad smell like?
Oprah Winfrey's network has signed Lindsay Lohan to an eight episode "docu-series" about her struggles. Calling it a "docu-series" makes it sound classy and not at all like a trashy reality show exploiting a family of freckled booze-hounds.
So after an autopsy it's official that Cory Montieth died from a mixture of Heroin and Alchohol. Definitley a deadly combo….31 years old….just sad, why do so many celebs get into these issues. Sad deal.
And Justin Bieber!! Unreal, you'd think that at least a week would go by before another incident with him…NOPE! HE spit on someone again!...Allegedly. The victim was the DJ at THE SOCIAL ROOM in Ohio. He was on the radio in Columbus and said that Biebers Bouncers approached him and demanded he doesn't take any photos…..and he hadn't and wasn't trying to but whatever……than the Bieber bouncers came back again and stole his phone from him and looked through it for pictures….didn't find any, but SEEMINGLY Still told Justin that he was trying to take photos…so what does Justin do?....He approaches the DJ, Trashes the DJ's mother for no reason, then trashes the DJ's father for no reason, then trashes him…AND THEN SPIT IN HIS FACE……let's see, that's the 3rd time Justin has been accused of spitting in someones face! Kinda makes me wanna spit in his…..just to see him get angry.
Kanye West is angry that his music video was released before it was finished. It joins a list of other things that Kanye is angry about, like plants, butterflies, you, me, and air.
The death of Corey Montieth is the big shocker story from the weekend. Autopsy is being done starting today….official cause of death should be announced soon. Sad news.
Chris Browns legal process continues and the judge has officially revoked his probation…but Chris was not taken into custody. He has to appear back in court in August with his lawyer for the hearing on whether or not he actually violated his probation.
Oprah has resorted to Lindsay Lohan getting a reality show on OWN…..Yep, that's how bad Oprah needs ratings.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West enjoy taking naps with North West. In fact, it's such an intimate family moment that Kim only allows six camera crews to record it.
Tara Ried, best known for her role in American Pie…..has decided she's down to do the sequal to Sharknado! A movie I haven't heard of until today when I read about this…from the looks of the box cover it seems horrible without even seeing the trailer…..but hey at least she's workin right? Way to go Tara…I think.
And more on Bieber! This time his camp is being very vocal about the fact that they think his BFF's are a bad influence on him….for usual reasons..ya know..weed, Neighborhood fights, sizzurp, peeing in buckets, assaulting paparazzi etc….but Justin said he won't cut em loose because they are true friends….I think I just threw up.
Madonna says her teenage daughter no longer wants to talk to her . . . Not to be confused with the rest of the world, which no longer wants to LISTEN to her….but fortunately, not all teenagers feel the same. Which is why Madonna still has boyfriends.
Justin Bieber is being all idiotic and self righteous again…this time he and his half twits left a nightclub and went the back way through the kitchen…Justin had to relieve himself but instead of being a decent human being and use the bathroom, he decided to just go in a janitorial mop bucket in the kitchen! Hey Selena how glad are you that you aren't with him anymore?!!
Courtney Love turned 49 yesterday. No word yet on how that's possible.
Kirs Jenner sais that it was a JOINT decision between Kim and Kanye to name their daughter NORTH. I believe her….I definitely think there was a joint involved.
So now there's a witness that is a 3 degree separation from Ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez saying that they overheard him admitting to shooting Odin Lloyd!! Wow, that's gonna probably worry his defense lawyers.
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler are officially over with after 2 years….Not really a surprise because a) It's George Clooney and B) They haven't been seen together for months…..so Stacy joins a long list of George Clooney Ex's……should be good for her dating resume though being the Ex of George Clooney!
Amanda Bynes Tweeted that "Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are ugly!" She was immediately offered her own show on Fox News.
Aaron Hernandez isn't going to be having a fun 4th of July party weekend….which isn't really news, just stating the obvious.
Christian Bale says he won't play Batman again. But he's grateful for everything the role gave him. Like his killer impression of Marge Simpson's sisters.
Snoop Lion recorded a reggae song with Eddie Murphy. . . which is probably the best proof yet that people do stupid things when they're high.
Kendall Jenner said she's frustrated that people don't take her seriously. Then she resumed parading around in a bikini and blathering on about how NOTHING'S more important than a good designer handbag.
So Now loads of dirt is surfacing on Aaron Hernandez. Domestic police calls, domestic incidents where he put punched a window out in his own house, unruly behavior at bars…..ya know on top of being involved with 3 murders…there is that too.
Ruben Studdard will be a contestant on"The Biggest Loser":
. . . However, out of all the people who have won"American Idol", the biggest loser is still Taylor Hicks.
Miley Cyrus and Ke$ha hung out at a pool party in Miami. And that, dear people, is why we use chlorine.
Aaron Hernandez has been put in solitary confinement….for his own safety…..they don't want to run the risk of other inmates trying to get some notoriety for hurting Hernandez……outside of that his lawyer says that considering Aaron went from 7000 square feet to a 10 by 7 cell, he's doing fine, staying perfectly calm and has made no special requests…..well that's nice….Good little inmate there.
Pharrel is suing Will I Am because Will I AM sent a cease and desist to PHARREL regarding PHARRELS launch of his youtube channel I AM OTHER. WILL I AM supposedly has ALL rights to ANYTHING with I AM in it. However, Pharrel didn't back down and decided to SUE WILL I AM for trying to stop him!
Kanye West reportedly won't change his newborn's diapers. I don't blame him. Have you heard his new album? He's already dealing with enough crap.
A diabetes drug maker has cut ties with Paula Deen. Actual diabetes, however, is still staying by her side.
So it's official that Paula Deen's Empire has officially been nuked this week. Before today QVC, Walmart and Target dropped her…and now Kmart, Sears, JC Penny and he publisher have jumped the Paula Deen Ship too. I can't imagine she has that many more?!
Megalomaniac Justin Bieber has a funny stipulation on his Rider for photo shoots. TMZ got a hold of one and it has a lot of ridiculous things on it, but one of the demands is.."No Selena Gomez Music On The Set!"….ahh….Justin does hearing Selena push one of your buttons!?...Speaking of The Biebs, I called it a few weeks ago….when he and his security assaulted the Paparazzi and stole his memory card….Yep…the Paparazzi is suing the Biebs now….
And 66-year-old James Woods …great actor…The Hard Way, Casino, among others…anyway, he's 66 now dating a 20-year-old bombshell…... And suddenly the whole Courtney Stodden thing seems old-fashioned.

Whatcom County announces burn restrictions due to hot weather
Published on Wed, Aug 22, 2012 by
Jeremy Schwartz

As of last Friday, setting fires to clear land or destroy yard waste is no longer allowed in Whatcom County.
Wain Harrison, Whatcom County deputy fire marshal, announced that recent hot temperatures and dry conditions have necessitated restrictions on open fires for all of Whatcom County, effective August 17. The restrictions are weather-dependent, and Harrison would not speculate how long the ban might last. The prohibited fires would still require permits even without the ban in place, Harrison added.
"As long as we have this hot, dry weather, the burn ban is going to remain in place," he said.
The restrictions ban burning to clear property or to destroy yard waste, but recreational fires in pre-approved areas, such as campgrounds, are still allowed, Harrison said. Recreational fires must be less than 3 feet in diameter, burn seasoned firewood or charcoal and be built in an approved fire enclosure.
Violating the burn restrictions could result in a $250 fine. Additionally, Harrison said anyone who sets a banned fire that gets out of control and requires a fire department response would be responsible for the firefighting costs and any damage the fire might cause.
"As you can imagine, that [cost] could be considerable," Harrison said.

There's summer DMB and winter DMB.
Summer DMB calls sheds home for a few months, outdoor venues where fans can sprawl on the grass, tailgate in the parking lot and wear their khaki shorts with pride.
Winter DMB takes on a more musically serious tone – though Dave Matthews, the CEO of the Dave Matthews Band is a perennial goofball – and, at least in Atlanta, plays in venues that are more intimate, providing a crisp, corralled sound as the band rolls through its musical calisthenics.
On Tuesday, DMB played to a typically adoring, typically sold-out throng at The Arena at Gwinnett Center and even brought a special Atlanta-centric guest on stage toward the set's end.
"How very nice to be here in 'Doe-luth'…adjacent to Atlanta," Matthews said with a joking touch. "I got people down here," he continued in a humorous drawl, a line that he would repeat for effect throughout the 2 1/2-hour show.
These concerts aren't built for the casual fan hoping to hear "Ants Marching" or "Satellite" (though the band does throw them in sometimes). It wasn't until seven songs into the show that "Don't Drink the Water," its insinuating groove replaced by menacing rock guitar squeals and Matthews' amped vocals – appeared and several later for a tight, crisp "What Would You Say," complete with extended sax solo and a fiddle workout from Boyd Tinsley.
The majority of the show focused – as it should – on DMB's excellent current album, "Away From the World," with eight of its 11 songs making the live cut.
The interlocking triangles that hung behind the stage turned into much-needed video screens for "Belly Belly Nice," one of the best songs on "Away" that first grabs your gut, then tumbles into a sweet chorus.
By following it with the also-new "Snow Outside," the band proved its always-impressive musical dexterity, switching from twitchy funk to languid jazz-pop within minutes. While Matthews' voice is an acquired taste, it was especially appealing when he stayed soft and low and quietly broke through the gauzy backdrop of "Snow" as the song climbed to a frenzy of horns and electric guitar (courtesy of Tim Reynolds).
DMB has never been about production or effects, but the band employs a stellar lighting team. Whether zooming in on Matthews at the start of "Rooftop," spinning in a frenzy for "Seven" as Matthews did his knock-kneed shuffle dance around Reynolds or shooting shards of red beams to introduce "Eh Hee," the visual aspects of the show only elevated the music.
Not that anyone needed visuals once the band – anchored, as always, by Carter Beauford, one of the best modern drummers on the planet, and bassist Stefan Lessard – introduced its frequent cover of "All Along the Watchtower." Only this time it came equipped with guest Zac Brown to add to the epic scope that DMB brings to the song (it's also not a stretch for this team, as Brown joined DMB on "Watchtower" throughout the summer of 2010, when ZBB opened for DMB at some stadium shows).
Those who like their DMB from the early years must have thrilled at the sounds of "Two Step" (from 1996's "Crash" album) during the encore, further proving that no matter what the season, few bands not on the nostalgia track can boast a catalog as ripe as theirs.
Opening the concert was super-hot Denver folk-pop trio The Lumineers, who last week learned they were nominated for two Grammy Awards (Best New Artist and Best Americana Album for their self-titled debut).
While known for their lulling "Ho Hey," the threesome of singer/guitarist Wesley Schultz, percussionist/mandolin player Jeremiah Fraites and celloist Neyla Pekarek (aided by a pianist and bassist onstage) demonstrated that they have plenty more creamy tunes where that one came from.
From the sweet, untitled new duet between Schultz and Pekarek to "Stubborn Love" to "Flapper Girl," The Lumineers proved not only that they make ideal Sunday brunch music, but that they know their way around a solid melody.
Don't expect to see them as an opening act for long.

I'm glad I didn't waste the money on this particular show seeing how they played most of the new CD. I've seen DMB countless times in years past at Lakewood, but as much as I hate to say it, from an entire CD perspective, they peaked with Busted Stuff.
That said, they put on one helluva 'summer' show.

Loved the show, but, holy cow, 45 minutes plus to get out of the parking garage and lot!. Wow, that part sucked. I'll never let myself get directed into that garage again.
Back to the show, great energy and performance from DMB, they always put it out there.

I went to the show with high expectations. Unfortunately what I was given was a virtual note for note redo of the set from the Hangout festival. The ending jams for "Two Step" and "Mercy" were identical down to the trade off progression between Reynolds and the sax in Mercy and the drum breaks in Two Step. My complaint is not that they played the same songs, that is to be expected…..but they played them in exactly the same way. Overall a major disappointment. It was like dropping money to see a Comic only to get there and hear the same jokes you saw on the HBO special.

I've seen the Dave Matthews Band at every Atlanta-area show they've done since 1999 (something around 15 shows) as well as many others in other cities and states, probably around 40 or so by now. Without hesitation I can say this was one of the five worst DMB concerts I've attended. I haven't felt this let down by the band since the Turner Field debacle in 2001, which they thankfully didn't try to do again. The entire show was a bummer.
I hate to center my complaints on the setlist, but it was a huge part of the problem. Just flat-out poorly planned. Away From the World is a very mellow groove, and this is only the second tour that these songs have been played; they haven't found their best live shape in my opinion. Maybe in future tours some of these songs will really become great live, but here they basically just sounded like someone put the CD on a hit 'play.' With so many of these newer, lower-key songs back-to-back, the show felt like long stretches of lifelessness punctuated by occasional forays into more successful, road-tested material. From my seats right by the side of the stage, I could see the crowd's boredom. There's a reason they're still playing songs like Jimi Thing and Two Step and What Would You Say twenty years into their career: because THEY WORK LIVE.
I get it: they don't want to play Ants Marching every night. Cool with me. And some of the newer stuff does work: Eh Hee and Cornbread are funky and dark. Squirm is the standout from Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, the album immediately before Away From The World in DMB's catalog. And as I discussed with my friend after the show: they don't have to play only vintage, 'old' stuff; but that doesn't mean they have to play entirely new stuff, either. There was just no synergy or flow within that setlist. It was like going to see the Rolling Stones only to have them almost completely ignore the first 30 years of their career and only play songs from "Steel Wheels" onward. Yech.
Compounding matters was the most lifeless performance I may have ever seen from this band. Sure, Carter was great as always, but Boyd Tinsley and Tim Reynolds might as well not have been onstage most of the night. Boyd's big moment in Jimi Thing (late in the show anyway) came to what felt like a screeching halt instead of a natural end. Tim Reynolds is a genius guitarist, and I've loved his addition to the full touring band the last four years or so—but he was almost a complete nonentity here. It seemed one of his pedals malfunctioned in Jimi Thing and his attempt to join the proceedings on Two Step was a flat-out disaster at first.
There was more juice in the second half of the show than the first, and the appearance from Zak Brown gave All Along the Watchtower a little celebrity, even though I don't give a flying leap about the Zak Brown Band.
But all in all—and I never thought I'd say this about DMB—if I'd known this was how the night was going to shake out, I probably would've passed.
December 12th, 2012
11:14 am
Filter, I'm sure DMB must've somehow forgotten you were at Hangout and then didn't get your voice message that you would be at this show as well. Had they done their research, maybe the trade-off progression would've been done to your liking.

I knew when they came out with Sperm and followed up with 3 or 4 songs I don't care about it was gonna be a 'different' show. Pretty flat, boys. But thanks for coming . . . .

I was so excited to see this show, but like many reviewers here I found myself "bored" with the play list. Too many new songs and very little of the old. DMB has been a favorite of mind for almost 20 years I often find myself working out with many of his old staples and I even love some of the catchy ones like "dive in", "funny the way it is" and "sweet". But when the first 5 songs or 40 minutes of the show are lifeless "b sides fillers" ( no pun intended), I knew it was going to be somewhat of a disappointing night. As any DMB concert, there were some great moments like already mentioned but it just seemed like Dave and the band were just going through the motions. I think the boys can do better and it all comes down to song selection. I might have to pass the next time around. The Luminaries on the other hand were absolutely awesome. Catch them next time they come to town. A must!

I love the Dave Matthews Band, BUT this was the worst show I've seen since Turner Field. I did not like the set list, and I agree that Boyd and Timmy were almost not even there. The whole band just seemed flat. I agree with other posts. They haven't yet figured out how to play the new stuff live. I guess it's like his new wine project. It takes time. I'm patient and I can work through this with the band, but give me more of the old stuff along the way. I can't wait till they come back to Lakewood in the Summer. The Lakewood shows are ALWAYS great! I'm ready to get this bad taste out of my mouth. Sorry to be so negative. I really do LOVE DMB!
December 13th, 2012
9:45 am
Awesome show. I have played the heck out of the new CD since it came out, and LOVE it. I've been a fan of DMB for 20 years, but was glad to hear a bunch of the new songs, they're GREAT and Dave's totally awesome. Drove from Memphis to hear this concert, and was totally worth it. The entire arena seemed fired up and totally loving the show, so I'm surprised by the negative reviews.
December 13th, 2012
10:51 am
Thought it was a great show and was glad that they didn't play the same songs like they normally do. Not that I don't enjoy the old stuff but it's good to hear different things for once. That stuff gets me coming back. Thought the solos were awesome and really had a great time. The crowd was really fired up and the lights which I don't really care about were pretty cool too.

As a casual fan of Dave Matthews Band and a first-timer at one of its concerts, I have no way of comparing this to other shows. I certainly enjoyed the music (even if the songs were unfamiliar), but the show was too long and left even the hard-core fans ready for it to end. In fact, quite a number left before the main set and three-song encore. I sensed that a lot of new material was played and received only lukewarmly by the fans. Cut three or four of the new songs and replace them with familiar tunes, and you have a better concert. The dead space between songs seemed to reflect a lack of organization and only added to the length of the show, which could have been cut by 30 minutes. The musicianship was excellent and the light show was superb, but overall the concert failed to meet my expectations.
December 14th, 2012
5:59 pm
Came down from South Carolina to see the show. I couldn't disagree more with some of the reviews posted in the comments. Every song was very well played and the setlist flowed smoothly in my opinion.
This was my 33rd time seeing DMB and I stopped trying to compare shows and setlists long ago. The band has continued to evolve and some folks like it and some don't. I get that. But I enjoyed the show.

Does Rising Bandwidth Consumption Make This Company a 'Screaming' Buy?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN) is up 5% this week following its latest earnings announcement. Ciena reported quarterly revenue up 2% year over year, but still posted a net loss of $0.39 per share. Ciena did reveal a solid backlog which, coupled with a rebounding economy, should allow the company to post positive earnings next fiscal year. The fundamental driver of Ciena's demand is the continued rise in bandwidth consumption. Ciena's focus on helping carriers transition to next generation networks places it in one of the fastest growing segments of the telecommunications market.
Ciena is a leading supplier of optical transport technology and saw FY2011 (ended in Oct.) sales come in 40% higher YOY, driven by its 2010 acquisition of Nortel's Metro Ethernet Networking segment. Ciena has made several acquisitions to expand its addressable market and enter new growth areas, with a key buy of Nortel Network and its optical networking capabilities. This acquisition expanded Ciena's products portfolio and global reach, pushing it into the emerging markets of Asia and Africa.
Ciena has significantly expanded its operating market by shifting to data networking from optical networking over the last few years. This has helped Ciena enter a broader optical and data-equipment market. Ciena is increasingly investing in this area to "capture" the tremendous growth opportunity presented by rising bandwidth demand from network service providers. Billionaire Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel Investment Group, is one of Ciena's big name investors (check out Ken Griffin's newest picks).
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) pays a high dividend yield (for the communication industry) at 3.6%. This could be due to the company's less-than-stellar expected growth rate; by offering a robust dividend yield Ericsson is able to keep shareholders' interest. The sell-side expects annual earnings to grow by roughly 9% a year over the next half-decade; this is below Ciena by six full percentage points. Ericsson had billionaire Ken Fisher, founder of Fisher Asset Management, as one of its key income-seeking investors last quarter (see Ken Fisher's top tech bets).
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) is up over 10% this week after seeing an upgrade at Cantor Fitzgerald, partially due to the announcement that it will acquire the remainder of its unowned Contrail shares. Despite three straight quarterly earnings beats, Juniper is still relatively flat year to date, but is neither a value (17x earnings) nor a growth (13.5% long term growth rate) play. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), meanwhile, is more of a value play than a growth play, but has a global reach. Even being a giant in the communications industry at a $100+ billion market-cap, Cisco still has higher expected growth than some of the other smaller, more nimble tech stocks.
Adtran (NASDAQ: ADTN) is a maker of communication network solutions and is down 35% year to date following two quarterly EPS misses, including a 3Q miss of 20%. The communication company appears to be far from a value play, with a forward P/E at 26x compared to a 16x trailing P/E. Its 10% long-term growth rate puts its PEG at 2.5. Adtran had notable billionaires fleeing from the stock in the third quarter, with Israel Englander, Ken Griffin and D.E. Shaw all selling their entire positions (check out D.E. Shaw's newest picks).
From a valuation standpoint we consider Cisco a best-in-industry opportunity but would still opt for Ciena's growth. Cisco's dividend is relatively new, starting dividend payments in 2011, and it already yields 2.8%. This is slightly below Ericsson's 3.6% yield, but Cisco's payout is only 23% of its earnings compared to Ericsson's 55% payout ratio. Cisco trades at the bottom of the five companies listed here, on a forward P/E basis at 9x earnings. At 32x earnings, Ciena is the most expensive, and Ericsson (14x), Juniper (17x) and Adtran (26x) are all at a premium to Cisco. What helps investors overlook Ciena's high-end P/E is its 3-year expected earnings growth rate of 190% annually.

Today's Sutton Bridge Furniture marks the return of a casual furniture brand born almost thirty years ago. In the mid-'70s, Sutton Bridge Furniture manufactured chrome plated aluminum furniture in the same region in Southeastern Kentucky where they operate today. The styles were a little different then, of course, yet the furniture was successful enough that Sutton Bridge Furniture maintained a showroom in High Point, North Carolina, where it serviced worldwide customers through the International Home Furnishing Market.
In 1980, despite Sutton Bridge's popularity, the company pulled out of the furniture market to focus fully on challenging contract manufacturing projects. And so it remained until 2003.
That taste of success as a furniture brand never really left the company. Another thing that never left - the capability to craft aluminum into exceptionally well made casual furniture. Indeed, they are more capable today than they were thirty years ago. Newer, better materials are readily available, and a better way to market has also become reality.
As the furniture industry continues to move its manufacturing overseas, Sutton Bridge saw an opportunity to do what it does best: craft furniture right here in the USA. Twenty three years after the last Sutton Bridge Furniture product rolled off the line, they're back with the same commitment to deliver the finest, most durable casual furniture on the market. They have a strong 15-year warranty, richly colored, durable Sunbrella® fabrics, and a promise to quickly deliver - in days, not weeks or months - right to their customers' doors.
They're back and better than ever. It's good to be home.

As of Thursday, September 29, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- A Newton County deputy was seriously injured during the early morning hours Sunday while answering a call involving an aggressive dog, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
Sgt. Tommy Thomason responded to 300 Hazelhurst Drive where the complainants living at that address said there was a dog there that would not let them out of their house, according to an NCSO incident report.
"Sgt. Thomason arrived and attempted to get the dog away from the house. He was able to get the dog away from the front door. Sgt. Thomason was attempting to get the dog into the front yard with verbal commands when the dog became aggressive and charged him," the report states.
As the dog jumped toward Thomason, he attempted to hit it and "the dog bit his hand and clamped down," the report states. "Sgt. Thomason was able to get his hand out of the dog's mouth (but) when he did, it ripped the top of his hand open."
The dog tried to charge Thomason again, but the deputy was able to draw his weapon and shoot the dog in the head, ending the threat.
Because of the damage to Thomason's hand, which included puncture wounds and exposed tendons, he was transported by EMS to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta where he received 11 stitches to close the wound.
Animal Control responded to the scene and the owner of the dog was located at 200 Hazelhurst Drive. According to Newton County Animal Control Director Terry Key-Hooson, the owner of the dog was cited for allowing the dog to run at large resulting in a dog bite and no proof of rabies inoculation.
She said the dog was "a bully-breed," saying he had a "massive head" and appeared to be a mix involving a pit bull and perhaps a mastiff or other large breed.
The deputy is recovering from his wounds.

Last piece of fresh meat that dog will ever taste. Sorry to hear about you getting wounded, Tommy Lee. Good job stopping the threat.
