COEUR D'ALENE -- It takes a ton of work and a lot of volunteers to put on an Ironman competition. 3,000 volunteers are helping out this year to make sure things run smoothly.
Thousand of people backed into the downtown area and it can get a little chaotic. That is where the volunteers come in. Many of them were busy directing traffic to make sure those crossing the finish line have a clear path. One volunteer says keeping the foot traffic under control is no small job.
"You gotta put your hands out and stop them from running you over. That's what you do and wait for the poor guys to come by here," said Traffic Director volunteer Gary Lasher.
The triathletes are not the only ones getting in shape. Lasher said he did 50 push-ups Saturday night so he could deal with his traffic directing job.
The traffic volunteers plan to be out until midnight to make sure things flow smoothly.

Using a Vibrator: Is it Safe During Pregnancy?
By 3DPregnancy
I like using a vibrator, but is it safe during pregnancy?
Is it safe during pregnancy? The good news is: yes! A pregnant woman should be able to engage in sex with a vibrator as long as she has not been instructed not to have sex.However, there are some things to remember about sex toys and keeping them safe (during pregnancy or not): Keep them clean from use to use and do not share them. If a vibrator is going inside the anus, do not put it inside the vagina.
If you have placenta previa or are at risk for premature labor, any kind of sex could jeopardize your pregnancy.

Antonio Santin
Marc Straus, 299 Grand St., NYC
There are two connected themes in this new body of paintings: women in lavish settings and highly stylized Eastern rugs. These paintings evolve from striking pictorial motifs. Up close, Santin's surfaces are a stunning highly sculptured layering of oil and acrylic paint. Unfolding in his works are pertinent issues about beauty and domesticity, about empathy and distancing. In his rugs, Santin weaves together marvelous Oriental designs, hinting at early Muslim and Mozarab arabesques found in medieval southern Spain. - thru Sept 29

Halloween, Alaska is a band that benefits from playing live. While their albums are good, the ragged edge provided by playing live adds excitement to their music. Sometimes on their records, its easy to drift off and then realize that you don't remember a single bar of the last couple songs. One thing I noticed about Halloween, Alaska's live shows is that they always manage to capture and hold my attention through the whole set.
This was definitely true on Tuesday night. My eyes were with drummer David King during most of the show. King, also of Happy Apple and the Bad Plus fame, put on a characteristically awesome show. King's crisp, tight drumming is the backbone of the band, both anchoring their rhythm and driving them forward. An example of this is on "Des Moines," a slow song that would drag if not for King's clear and forceful but still minimalist beats.
That's not to say the rest of the band wasn't good, because they were in top form. In particular, I was a little surprised at how much lead singer James Diers sounded like Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, if Gibbard were a little more raw, expressive and talented. The resemblance was particularly strong on Halloween. And Diers isn't the only great singer in the band. Guitarist Jake Hanson, in between bouts of epic feedback generation, took to the mic a couple of times. He sounded remarkably like Matt Sharp (The Rentals, Weezer) mixed with the vocal consistency of a young Mike Mills (R.E.M.).
Many of the songs Halloween, Alaska played featured heavy, dark dance beats that captured the audience's attention. Even when the band was in dance mode, they still maintained an air of grogginess because of Diers' and Hanson's fuzzy, feedbacking guitars. King and bass guitarist Matt Friesen, however, tend to drive the beats underneath the blanket of guitars. The result is a lush and absorbing but not overly indulgent sound. King and Friesen succeed at being able to play around with their instruments, to make new sounds and to have fun for themselves without boring the audience.
The only real disappointment of the evening was All the Arms Around You, a song that helped boost the band into the popular conscious when it was featured on The O.C. (Des Moines was also featured on the show). While the audience responded to it in a big way, the song itself fell a little flat. There was a lovely Sonic Youth-style build up and then nothing.
But the band quickly recovered and finished strong. In one of the coolest moments of the show, they rolled out a Bruce Springstein cover, State Trooper. Their re-framing of the song works surprisingly well for the difference in style between the two artists. Once again, King's drumming really shone, and gave the song the punch of the original. Diers also rose to the occasion, shedding his normal, soft-spoken vocals for a bit more power. Interestingly, the band also tacked on a little bit of Born in the USA to close up the set.

After a week to rest and prepare, the Morgan County High School varsity Spike Dogs headed to regionals to compete for their spot in the state tournament.
On Thursday, Oct. 10, the Spike Dogs took on East Jackson at home before advancing to Saturday's tournament. MCHS easily beat East Jackson in two sets, allowing them to move on to the regional tournament, held Saturday, Oct. 12, at Oconee County High School.
In order for the Spike Dogs to secure their spot at state, they had to place in the top four in regional competition.
Saturday, they faced Hart County first. In the first set, Hart took the early lead, making it difficult for MCHS to catch up, but big blocks by seniors Olivia Keegan and Mikayla Taylor kept the Spike Dogs on the board. After tying at 17 points, the Spike Dogs were finally able to take the lead. The two teams battled it out, staying tied to 23. A well-placed hit by Paige Hilsman put MCHS in the lead. However, it was Hart who outscored the Bulldogs 26-24 in the first set.
The Morgan County girls knew what was at stake in the second set– win to take it to a third set, or lose and fall to the losers bracket. Although MCHS scored first, Hart was quick to come back and take the lead. Morgan pulled back, bringing the score to a tie at five. The two teams stayed tied before Hart broke away. Then, a tip by Hannah Caison put the score at 21-20. Sadly, Hart took the second set 28-26, sending MCHS to the losers' bracket.
"They were really close games. Everyone played as a team, but we had some mental moments that we could have done better, but everybody was physically there playing their hardest," said Paige Hilsman.
Even though they were in the losers' bracket, the Spike Dogs were not out of the running yet. MCHS went on to take on the Jackson County Panthers. In the first set, the Dogs dominated, giving the Panthers little to no chance at coming back. The set featured tactful spikes by Riley Moss and Mikayla Taylor. The Spike Dogs only allowed the Panthers eight points with a final score of 25-8.
In the second set, Jackson put up a little more of a fight. After one of Olivia Keegan's signature power shots, the Spike Dogs held the lead by 10 points. Salina and Kayla Fortune and Kourtney Kinchen were put in to play the rest of the game. A tip by Salina Fortune solidified the win for Morgan County 25-10.
Back on the winning track, the Spike Dogs went on the face Oconee County. The MCHS girls needed a win in order to place higher than forth in region. Oconee County was ready to defend their home court and took the early lead. Morgan County was forced to work hard to catch up and they did, tying the Warriors at 15. A big play by Taylor Bruce brought the Spike Dogs' score to 22, but it was Oconee who won the first set 25-23.
The second set was a last chance for Morgan County. The Bulldogs took the early lead this time. The set kept Morgan County fans on the edge of their seats. The Spike Dogs and Warriors did went back and forth, tying and untying, but Oconee came out of top beating the Dogs 28-26.
"We were hoping that this year we would have made it farther than we ever had. We were really excited about getting here because we've beaten the teams before. We were excited that we would have more of a chance this year," said Hilsman.
As Coach Hooten addressed her team after the match, she told them their season is not over; the Morgan County Spike Dogs placed fourth and secured their spot in the state tournament.

It's all for the best. A blacked out faggot takes all loads without thinking of himself.
I remember having that happen to me once when a guy was fucking me unbelievably hard. It was a relentless jackhammering. It felt like he was turning me inside out. It was so fucking overwhelming but there was nothing I could do because he had me pinned down really well. My body was resisting it violently but it couldn't obey my commands to move and get away. So my mind started wandering to crazy places as the hard pounding went on and on. I became a fuckhole and that's all I was. It's like I couldn't feel any other part of me. And I just took it for what seemed to be a never ending amount of time until he released deep inside me. Then it was heaven. I was so fucking worn out. The faggot in me was in bliss because I had satisfied a man.
Exactly as it should be!

CHOICE says Australians are being had for breakfast by shonky claims.
A CHOICE investigation into 23 liquid breakfast products including Sanitarium's Up & Go, Devondale Fast Start, Kellogg's breakfast drinks, Vitasoy Vitago, Dairy Farmers Oats Express and Aldi Goldenvale Quick Start has found a spate of dodgy nutritional claims. "Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and consumers shouldn't be fooled into thinking liquid breakfasts are high in fibre or a good source of protein," says CHOICE spokesperson Tom Godfrey. "Shonky claims on liquid breakfasts such as 'high in fibre', 'fibre for digestive health', and 'goodness of three grains' is a cause for concern. Liquid breakfasts have on average 1.5% fibre, which is well below the 10% benchmark for high fibre. It is grains away from the 39.5% fibre offered by some bran cereals." "The investigation also found that 10 of the 23 products investigated have more than 23g of sugar per serve - roughly the same as a chocolate bar. This is particularly concerning for parents who often resort to these drinks as a quick alternative breakfast for their kids." "A serving of oats with a handful of almonds and a sliced apple will give you about 11g of fibre, a third of your daily intake and in some cases more than triple the amount of fibre available in liquid breakfast cereals."
Looking for convenience and want to avoid mid-morning snacking, then reach for a tub of yoghurt and grab an apple.
Do you reach for something quick for breakfast? Or take the time to sit down and eat a healthy meal?
I agree that there is little substanial nutrients in these comercial brand liquide breakfasts. What they don't include is the addidtives, flavours and colours in there as well...
I have recenlty introduced a 'super shake' into my families diet which is 40% organic undenatured protien, 40% low GI carbs and 20% good fats. (and no bad stuff added!!) It also has pre-biotics and live digestive enzymes and they have stopped me from having cravings.
I'm all for a liquid breaky when you have something as good as this! But they are not on your supermarket shelves... They are just one of many awesome products made by Isagenix. I love them!
We have had the up and go all the different variations and my husband likes them my kids ask for them but i cant bring myself to give in. They say all the goodness of two weetbix and milk although not the full feeling.
My kids have asked for these but I have never purchsed it for them. I have had up and go for myself. e like to sit and have breakfast all together before heading out to school.

Williams Fire Log - an Environmentally Friendly Company
Did you know that few products besides Fire Logs make better use of recycled industrial waste - in this case sawdust and petroleum wax? Using sawdust from wood-manufacturing operations prevents it from going into landfills. Studies show that fire logs can burn far more cleanly than wood, with half the smoke and as much as 69 percent less particulate matter and 88 percent less carbon monoxide. The William's Fire Log is environmentally friendly.
Have you been looking more for ambience than heat? Fire Logs are good for home gatherings, romantic evenings, and for breaking the chill, even in California. While a crackling wood fire has a certain Currier & Ives appeal, more and more homeowners are discovering the beauty of what might be called a controlled burn. Our Logs are all this and more.
Did you ever wonder if there were ways to add color to the fire in your fire place? Check out Dancing Colored Discs. These color the flames in Aqua, Greens, and Blues all in one Disc.
We also have products such as "Quick Start" blocks - starting wood fires fast, Fire Log Starters - the quickest easiest and cleanest way to start a difficult fire, and "Tiki-Lamps" - the Wickless candle, not only a decoration but also a bug chaser. You can see all of these on our products page.
Enjoy your stay - It's that easy!

The Word of God
This Week's Focus
"The Bible is the 'Holy Scripture' because God the Holy Spirit gave to His chosen writers the thoughts that they expressed and the words that they wrote (verbal inspiration). Therefore, the Bible is God's own Word and truth, without error (inerrancy)." Luther's Small Catechism 1986 p. 48
Bible Teaching
John 20:30-31
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Hebrews 1:1-2
1 John 1:1-4
Revelation 22:18-19
Quote FC SD art V para 19-21
"The Law rebukes unbelief, that is, when people do not believe God's Word. Now the Gospel is God's Word, and it alone properly teaches and commands people to believe in Christ. The Holy Spirit, through the Law's office, also rebukes unbelief, that is, when people do not believe in Christ.
Yet it is properly the Gospel alone that teaches about saving faith in Christ. Now, a person has not kept God's Law, but has transgressed it when his corrupt nature, thoughts, words, and works fight against it. Therefore, he is under God's wrath, death, all temporal calamities, and the punishment of hellfire. The Gospel is properly a doctrine that teaches what a person should believe, so that he receives forgiveness of sins with God. In other words, it teaches that God's Son, our Lord Christ, has taken upon Himself and borne the Law's curse and has atoned and paid for all our sins. Through Him alone we again enter into favor with God, receive forgiveness of sins through faith and are delivered from death and all the punishments of sins, and are eternally saved.
Everything that comforts, that offers God's favor and grace to transgressors of the Law, is, and is properly called, the Gospel. It is a good and joyful message that God will not punish sins, but will forgive them for Christ's sake." Formula of Concord, Solid Declaration, Article 5.
Our Confession
· We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God
· We believe the Bible is the only unassailable truth for our lives
· We believe that the Bible teaches God's Law and Gospel
· We reject all attempts to subtract from the clear teaching of the Bible
· We reject all attempts to add to the clear teaching of the Bible
· We reject the mixing of Law and Gospel, or changing their definitions
Discussion Questions
1. According to John 20:30-31, what is the purpose of God's Word?
2. Why is it important to distinguish Law and Gospel?
3. What is at the center of biblical teaching and what does that mean in our reading of it?
4. What present challenges are addressed by Revelation 22:18-19?
5. How should our practice in home and congregation reflect this doctrine?
Lord, keep us steadfast in Your Word. Curb those who by deceit and sword would wrest the kingdom from Your Son and bring to naught all He has done. Amen.

Surface spannings
If the physical-sensuous experience of a built area, in which we move, changes into a photographic architecture picture, we always must accept at least two phenomena of the perception loss. First of all the picture fades out physical space-time, secondly it shows a laminar projection of three dimensions. In the history of the architecture photography one can observe that these medial transformations of an area into a surface were regarded as an apparently negative characteristic of imaging. How else can one explain all the effect-loaded radical perspectives, the sensational deep and far views than as an optical compensation, which in another way need to be balanced again?
Wolfram Janzer's approach is different. Here we also have tension-loaded compositions, strained discords up to the border of the bearable and provoking structural shifts, which require a maximum empathy by the viewer. But the photographer uses the surface of the colour as visual counterweight, more precisely the surface spanning by colour and line. He achieves thereby a high degree at abstraction. The line in his pictures is often not the outline, which sets a large mass off against the other one, but it is the fine, almost like drawn by hand, the real line. In its motives it naturally occurs never in such a way, as we see it in the pictures, because buildings consists of wood, steel and stone and not of pencil lines. However Janzer developed the unusual ability to see, such filigree mesh out of steel frame, balustrades, facade components, glass components, timber claddings etc. in such a way that he can use it like a draughtsman according to his conceptions.
One could say, that the photographer Wolfram Janzer has learned to transform architectual space with the help of his camera in such a way, that space presents itself as an unstable equilibration with a successful subtle balancing act between plain structure and spacial perception. If architecture symbolizes the defined space, then a line stands for a hint and a gesture. The photographed architectual line therefore would represent the space gesture, which refers to the photographed space as well as allowing free associations about the space which unfolds itself out of this area: space becomes a stern but likewise poetical figure.
Labile equilibration
Wolfram Janzer's way of architecture photography does not know the usual medial deficits, which are common between spacial perception and spacial illustration, even though he also tensed up his compositions in such a provoking way that aesthetic disharmonism and structural equilibration evolve. However he is a master of equilibration who does not allow any coincidental impact. With the camera as his instrument he succeeds in transforming architectual space in his pictures such that delicate and subtle equilibrations arise between areal structure and comprehensible spacial perception. Janzer, who stems from architecture and from drawing, used the line as a symbol for a spacial gesture. It resembles actual space and at the same time it is so open to generate as well pure abstraction in the viewers eyes. His pictures walk on the line between object free associations of space and displayed architecture, which turn into poetical image figures with a firm will of design. This will generates image figures, in which area turns into space and space turns into area. This shift within the media photography is only successfull due to the unique viewing capabilities of the photographer, who turns signs of light into paintings of light.

Del. man charged with DUI after wrong way crash overturns tanker
A Delaware man has been charged with DUI after early he Tuesday morning allegedly crashed into a tractor trailer towing a tanker, causing it to turn over.
Police said Yuni Gonzalez, 21, was driving a 2002 Cheverolet van north on Middletown Warwick Road shortly after 2 a.m. when he crashed head-on with a southbound 2006 Peterbilt towing a tanker.
The tanker rolled onto its side, blocking both lanes of the roadway and closing it for several hours Tuesday morning.
Strang, who was properly restrained, was transported to Christiana Hospital by ambulance, where he was treated for minor injuries. It is not known if Gonzalez was properly restrained. He was transported to Christiana Hospital by ambulance for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Trailer driver David Strang, 49, of Elmer, N.J., was properly restrained and taken to Christiana Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries, according to authorities.
Investigators said they don't know Gonzalez's place of residence or if he was wearing a seat belt.
He was taken to Christiana Hospital for the treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
Gonzalez was arrested and charged with driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, driving on the wrong side of the roadway, driving without a license and failing to have insurance identification in possession.
A Hazmat team responded to the crash to supervise the safe removal of latex paint from the tanker trailer.

Tough cases don't have to mean extracted teeth-many endodontic treatments can save the natural tooth for a lifetime! The AAE's Treatment Options for the Compromised Tooth: A Decision Guide helps you evaluate a variety of conditions using:
Use the Guide to assess all possible endodontic treatment options before recommending extraction of the natural tooth, and consult with your endodontist partner to develop treatment plans that could save the natural dentition. Endodontists and dentists are partners in delivering optimal dental patient care.
General dentists who have used the Guide find that it is a good reference. "The Treatment Options Guide is great because it includes so many examples of successful endodontics and healing teeth," said Mark Mensh, D.M.D., Mays Landing, N.J. "It's a good reminder of how to work with my endodontist to save patients' natural teeth whenever possible, and it makes it easier to explain some of the more difficult cases to my patients."

A Seattle Tradition: The P-Patch
I just recently learned that the term "P-Patch" is unique to Seattle. This, hilariously, was brought to my attention when I was talking to some family in DC about them, and they assumed I meant (ahem) another type of P-Patch — perhaps for dogs. However, P-Patches are a big part of the Seattle community, and it's a wonder that they have not caught on in other cities. Or have they? Perhaps by another name?
Urban gardening and communal planting are not new concepts on their own, but when combined, they have created a new vehicle for urban society to come together and enjoy nature and the environment together.
In Seattle, small allotments of land where families come together to create a communal planting area for flowers, vegetables, and other plants is called a "P-Patch." This term was coined as a nod to the original owners of the Picardo farm in Wedgwood, Seattle, which became the first P-Patch.
These little patches are all over Seattle and Western Washington. In fact, Seattle Parks and Recreation even has a section of their website devoted to finding and participating in communal planting.
So, what do you think? Would you participate in a local P-Patch if it was offered? Let us know in the comments!

So... community gardens?
P-Patch is such a cute term! I've heard it from Seattle contacts.
We do have a similar thing in Toronto but it has the more prosaic name of 'Community Gardens'. There are also 'Allotment gardens', spaces in which you can apply for your own patch to tend.
The term may be unique to Seattle, but the concept is global.
We call it a community garden, but your name is much cuter.
Um, yes. Community gardens exist in lots of cities.
While not explained well, I think the distinction is that there are few or no individual plots. The plantings are determined collectively. The gardening work is done collectively.
You can see each bed is planted with a single crop. Somehow they figure out how members can share in the harvest.
But that's not a distinction. The same thing happens in many cities. The concept isn't something special to Seattle.
I read the article to mean (and guessed from the photos) that it's more of people tending to the same patches and using the veggies as a group. Example in the photo- it's a big bed of lettuce, etc, each of those raised beds looks to be planted with one item only.
If I'm reading it correctly, it's a lot different than the community gardens we have in Halifax, NS. Here each participant/ family gets their own plot to do with what they please and they alone reap the benefits of that little plot.
I don't like when people give snooty responses on this webpage. Apt Therapy peeps should be better than that.
Somehow my previous comment disappeared or was deleted. These are community gardens or co-op gardens. In DC, many farmers makrets and CSAs are partly supplied by produce from these kinds of gardens.
Transplant from DC to Seattle, here. And a former community gardener! The Seattle P-Patches have a certain lovely, communal vibe... It's part of the fiber of the city in a way that community gardens of DC--at least the ones that I new of--did not. It's just very... "Seattle." (Even if it may also be very Someplace Else, too. :))
@Magoo - Did you have any experience with the Neighborhood Farm Initiative in Fort Totten? It's a lot of work, but I thought it was a really nice idea for people learning to grow vegetables, or don't have space of their own.
@JRN - I don't think it was intentional, but the post does comes off as very hipstery and very "look how special we are" which has the connotation of "look how backwards and unspecial you are" even though the concept is global, which I think a lot of people saw as very obvious.
If the writer meant that a P-Patch was unique in that each plant bed was tended to by a certain group and they all shared in the bounty...well, it's still not a concept unique to Seattle. Planting one type of vegetable in a plot is good organization, and enables the group to be more efficient at crop rotation. It also keeps disease from affecting multiple crops.
As a NYer I'm trying to understand how these differ from community gardens. It sounds like the land might be privately-owned, and it sounds like people tend the entire garden rather than their own allotment. But it's just not clear.
JNR, I don't think "snooty" is the right word. This blog post raises more questions than it answers. It doesn't look like the author did any sort of journalism whatsoever. There's no explanation of basic facts -- instead there's just personal anecdote and uninformed guessing. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to expect more than that from professional bloggers and their editors. It's certainly not "snooty."
Is this a long lost post from a decade ago? This post is a little rudimentary for the AT readers of 2013.
P-Patch, Community Garden, Landshare, whatever you call it....this method of communal tending and gardening is quite popular from coast to coast and it seems a bit pretentious to give any one city (i.e.., Seattle) credit for the concept.
Seems someone was searching for content....
I think it comes off more as a young person just discovering a local "thing" and thinking that the particular "thing" is brand new to the world because they haven't seen it before. This particular thing has been around since at least the 1700's, so it's kind of funny, but understandable that someone might not understand the ubiquity of community gardens if they've only just discovered them for themselves.
Community gardens or allotments or whatever you want to call them are amazing! They allow people without land the chance to grow food or flowers. I'm all for more growing and more discoveries of communal gardening.
I'm also confused as to how this is different from the community gardens here in Vancouver. But maybe they're not since we're just up the road, so to speak.
Maybe the person who wrote this can explain it in more detail so we can see the differences?
I'm a member of a community garden that combines the two ideas. Each member has their own bed, but there are also communal beds and trees cared for and shared by everyone in the garden. Being in Texas our garden has amazing citrus trees, a grape arbor, and other wonderful things communally planted.
I know it's hard to imagine dividing up produce from communal beds, but in our garden its about using the produce. We do not need to split the kumquats in some egalitarian fashion. Rather, the people that will use the kumquats should take them.
I don't think the explanation of the planting for a p-patch was clear from the post. "Communal planting area" is not that descriptive. You are really referring to communal beds not individually maintained. I can understand the confusion. When you ask if people have "communal planting areas" you are going to get a sharp response.
A very simple search would have provided info to the blogger. A quick call to the library even more.
To clear some things up--the first sentence in the post reads "I just recently learned that the term 'P-Patch' is unique to Seattle." By no means do I believe that communal gardens are exclusive to Seattle, but the term "P-Patch," and the lovely Picardo farm are. This post highlights the origin of a Seattle tradition of communal gardening where all participants reap ALL benefits of planting--and where it got its name.
However, one thing we can ALL learn from the P-Patchers is how to get along, in communal gardening, or say communal comment sections.
Here in Richmond, VA, we have a situation similar to what joydreamz described. We've rented a patch of land from the city for a buck a year and have turned urban blight into a productive garden split 50/50 with community beds and private beds. Community beds are monocrops (all leeks or potatoes or tomatoes or beans or whatever) and private beds are exactly that, private and anyone can grow anything they want. We are also experimenting with a hugelkultur where a stack of logs is mounded up, filled with compost and then plants grown on it. It is supposed to need less water as the logs absorb and then release water more efficiently.
Our only problem is that the city wants to charge us $10,000 to install a water line...ridiculous.
Andie, while the first sentence makes it clear you're referring to the term P-Patch, this part of the post:
"However, P-Patches are a big part of the Seattle community, and it's a wonder that they have not caught on in other cities. Or have they? Perhaps by another name?"
... refers to the concept of a P-Patch, which is why a lot of people (and I'm included as well) thought you did think communal gardens were exclusive to Seattle.
Sorry, I was speaking to the tone of some comments! Not the article at all!
"It's a wonder they have not caught on in other cities."
"By no means do I mean believe that communal gardens are exclusive to Seattle."
Oh, Andie, I'm sure you meant well.
1) I also didn't know that P-Patch was just a Seattle thing. (The name, that is.) I miss you, Seattle.
2) Y'all need to get a life.
Ha! I grew up in Wedgwood (note to Editor, there is no "e" before "wood") and even went to Wedgwood Elementary School. Had no idea that p-patch wasn't a universal term! Learn something new every day :)
Seattle Alan--oh geez, I've made that mistake before. Sorry--corrected!
I live in Western Washington and always assumed it was "Pea Patch", which seems more appropriate.
Seattlelite here! I had no idea P-patch was unique to our city, nor the history behind it. Thank you for sharing, Andie.
I'm also surprised to see how worked up/defensive folks got over this (I'm looking at you, urbancricket).
In England they're called Allotments.
I actually get to work in this exact P-Patch, the bed I help tend is down near the end of the row on the left :D
Most of the patches are allotted to individual gardeners to do with as they please. The gardener gets to decide what they want to plant, and they take it all home with them as if the garden was in their own back yard. The only difference is that in order to get a garden plot, there's a waiting list (almost 1-2 years at most patches!), a rental fee, and a community service requirement that must be used for general upkeep of the whole patch.
That said, the two rows of beds that are pictured here are actually community tended - generally adopted by various groups, Girl Scouts, etc - and all of the produce is donated to the local food bank!
The Picardo Patch is pretty breathtaking. It's huge, very well maintained, and I love that I get to come play in it.

My Mommy Side
I mostly post here about my adult baby or adult little girl exploits, because I mostly date dominant men and women who are not interested in experiencing that side of me, but it is there, and only getting stronger.
I'm a versatile player, but there are a few things that I need in my play, no matter what:
A Taboo Nature I like stuff that feels socially unacceptable. Usually, these things don't actually hurt anyone, but I also have fantasies that are extremely violent in nature. Now, I realize that I don't actually want those things to happen, but I do enjoy playing with them during sex, even if only verbally.
Dominance and Submission Sex is a power dynamic to me. I realize that this is a patriarchal definition of sex, but I like it. It gets me off. Of course, the male need not be the one in power, and there need not be a male involved at all. However, I like one party to have the upper hand. I enjoy physical as well as social dominance play.
Simulation of Mixed Feelings When I was younger, sex made me feel guilty and excited at the same time. That pull in opposite directions created more tension, made me more excited when I finally went twang. Of course I don't feel guilty about my sexuality anymore, but I like to play around with that feeling as much as possible.
An Overwhelming Desire Part of while I enjoy the guilt and taboo is that giving into desire even despite those feelings and conventions seems to me to be evidence of overwhelming desire and passion. I like to think that I'm so horny I don't care if the object of my desire is my brother, my student, my pet, etc. It leads to incredible role play scenarios.
All of this is fulfilled by my Mommy-son, Mommy-sissy, or Mommy-daughter play. I used to engage in this type of play with my ex-husband on occasion and Manny and I used to do it sometimes during cyber sex, but never in person. Most of my Mommy experiences have been professional and I would like to change that. For example, I now refuse to date people unless the have an interest in nursing. There's nothing more intimate or kinky to me that having my breasts milked or feeling my lover drink my milk directly from my breast. (This is not something that I offer in my professional play specifically because it is so intimate, though I really, really wish that Kink.com would shoot a lactation scene with me!)
I get nearly a 50/50 mix of play on KinkLive.com webcam and mostly do Mommy play in my live sessions, so I am happy, but I really miss adult nursing. Cross your fingers for me to get more Mommy time in my personal life!

September 29, 2010TELUS House Ottawa awarded LEED Gold certification
Adopting the LEED rating system for new and existing buildings is part of TELUS' commitment to reducing environmental impact across its operations
Ottawa, ON – TELUS House Ottawa has been awarded the LEED Gold certification for new construction from the Canadian Green Building Council, a significant upgrade from the silver rating that was targeted by TELUS when the project got underway five years ago. The building is the largest in Ottawa to receive LEED certification to date.
"This important ranking brings home to us all how we can make a real difference benefiting the environment," said Darren Entwistle, TELUS President and CEO. "When we undertook this project just five years ago, the steps we took to reduce energy and water consumption were cutting-edge concepts. What we accomplished in Ottawa set the stage for taking an increasingly green approach to our buildings across Canada. We are striving for LEED Gold or better in new buildings, retrofitting and reprogramming our older buildings and making strides towards having 70 per cent of our
35,000 team members working from home at least part time within five years from today."
In the last five years, TELUS has implemented programs called Future Friendly Workplace and Work Styles promoting green workplaces and teleworking to create environmental, social and business benefits. The Future Friendly Workplace program exemplifies TELUS' commitment to the environment and its team members as evidenced by three buildings that have either been LEED certified or are pending certification. The TELUS Work Styles program encourages team members to work from home or in open office concepts to reduce environmental impacts and improve the balance between their personal and
work lives.
"TELUS' Future Friendly Workplace and Work Styles programs are healthy for TELUS team members, for our customers, and the communities across Canada that we call home," Mr. Entwistle said. "We are building workspaces and supporting work styles that encourage creativity and engagement while reducing our impact on our planet. We are proud that TELUS has a place among the world's leading green corporations."
Since opening the 160,000 square foot, nine-floor TELUS House Ottawa in 2007 which recently received the LEED Gold certification. TELUS has also pursued LEED Gold certification in partnership with the building developers of its new building at 25 York Street in Toronto and LEED Silver for a retrofit of an existing older building at 300 rue Saint-Paul in Quebec City. In addition, TELUS has made renovations in two large office complexes in Burnaby, B.C. and Scarborough, Ontario where the company occupies over 1.2 million square feet, and will be pursuing LEED certification for these
LEED is a third-party certification program and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. It provides building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings' performance. In Canada, the rating system is administered nationally by the Canada Green Building Council. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health, including sustainable site development, water
efficiency, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
"Achieving LEED Gold certification is a significant achievement," said Thomas Mueller, President & CEO of Canada Green Building Council. "TELUS' leadership in this area shows how green buildings contribute to corporate social responsibility including enhancing the well-being and productivity of employees."
To reach the gold rating in Ottawa, TELUS reduced energy consumption by 40 per cent from the national energy code level, reduced water usage by 40 per cent by using high-efficiency plumbing, and placed the building directly on a public transportation route such that 80 per cent of the building's occupants arrive to work by transit, on foot or by bicycle. It makes maximum use of natural lighting, harvests rainwater for use, and offers employees high-quality indoor air. During construction more than 75 per cent of debris was recycled.

The verbal volleys between Republican U.S. Senate race frontrunners Trey Grayson and Rand Paul is now a full-fledged air war.
After the Trey Grayson began airing a commercial in which Paul is heard saying "Coal's a very dirty form of energy," the Paul campaign complained that Paul's speech at a rally for his father's presidential bid was being taken out of context.
Now, a new Rand Paul ad accuses Grayson of "trading Kentucky coal jobs for nuclear energy." The commerical uses sound bites from Grayson, including a congratulatory message Grayson taped when President Obama was inaugurated.
"Rand Paul will stop Obama and the EPA from crippling the mining industry," a voiceover announcer says in the Paul ad, adding "a friend of Obama. No friend of coal."
Grayson campaign manager Nate Hodson is blasting Paul's commercial, while defending the Grayson ad.
"Our ad quoted Rand Paul in context sharing his view that coal is dirty and the least desirable form of energy," Hodson said in a statement, "Viewers can watch the full video of Rand Paul opposing coal in all its glory on the Internet if there's a question about context."
"The Paul video shows a small clip of Grayson discussing the GOP platform to which he successfully added pro-coal language in 2008. There's nothing inconsistent about what Grayson has said in supporting increased production of coal and nuclear power as well as more off-shore drilling.
"The Paul video takes another clip of him congratulating the President on his inauguration day and rips it wildly out of context. Then, Paul steals the official Friends of Coal logo. Viewers can decide whose ad is accurate and whose isn't. Rand Paul continues to show his willingness to say and do anything to get elected, even if it means taking the direct opposite view of his beliefs just months ago. He has to do this, because his true positions are directly opposed to those of Kentucky Republican primary voters."
