Thanks for all the support. I hope many of you held your loved ones tighter yesterday, and I hope in the future you won't let money get in the way of your life.
I try to find you easy money-saving tips that won't get in the way of your life. They're quick and easy ways to save so you'll have more money for those big memory-making trips.
There are ways to earn money while you shop, and I'm not talking about those secret shopper scams. Those are not legitimate. This is. The next time you shop online, take a detour first. Go to Ebates or another cash-back site, and link to the site you want to shop through Ebates. That quick detour will earn you cash back based on how much you spend.
During the holidays, I started using Ebates. If I was buying something on Kodak or Amazon, I'd link to those sites through Ebates. Depending on the individual business offer, I'd get a percentage of my order back in cash. It typically averages about 4%. It adds up.
I learned that earlier this year when my first check arrived in the mail. Then, I got a Home Depot gift card for signing up for the service. It's one of those offers that sounds too good to be true, but really works.
The sites are able to send you a check because they make money too. They earn a commission from the store you shop, and part of it is shared with you. It works similar to online ads. If you click on one of those, most of the time the referring site gets paid a small amount. You just don't realize that's happening.
There are other sites that work the same way, although, I haven't used them to know all the ins and outs so read the fine print. Mr. Rebates is one, and Big Crumbs is another.
Fat Wallet offers promotional codes and cash back options for shopping. This is a pretty well known site, and I know money-saving consumers that have used Fat Wallet with great success.
It's all about finding a site that works for you. It shouldn't be too cumbersome to use, and should not take a lot of time to navigate. Also, read the site's privacy policy. While you're earning cash and that's the fascinating part about this, your shopping habits are also being tracked. You earn money based on the size of your purchase. The sites know how much you spend and where you spent it. The sites use tracking cookies to follow your purchase. They're commonly used online, it's just that you don't know you're being tracked. Click here for ways to erase your digital footprint after your browsing or shopping is over. It's often as simple as erasing the cookies when your session is over.
If you're concerned about your privacy, these cash back sites may not be worth it. If you'd like to make some easy money, give it a try.
Just another quick and easy money-saving tip that will give you more time to make memories that will last a lifetime with your family.

Kirstie Alley was tempted to have an affair with Woody Harrelson.
The pair grew close while filming sitcom Cheers and Alley admits she developed strong feelings for the actor.
The actress had to remind herself she was married to stop the temptation to embark on a passionate affair with Harrelson.
Writing in her memoir The Art of Men, she revealed: "He would incessantly insist we sleep together, half joking and half serious. 'We're not sleeping together', I would say, half wishing I wasn't married so we could."
When Alley played bar manager Rebecca Howe in Cheers she was married to her second husband, actor Parker Stevenson.
The couple - who have two adopted children together, William True and Lillie Price - divorced in 1997.
Harrelson was not married when he portrayed naive barman Woody Boyd in the bar-based comedy series from 1985 to 1993.
Last week, Alley admitted John Travolta had been the love of her life.
The 61-year-old actress fell for the actor on the set of their film Look Who's Talking, which was shot almost 25 years ago, but she couldn't act on her feelings because she was married to Stevenson at the time.
"Believe me, it took everything that I had, inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John and be with John for the rest of my life. [He was the] greatest love of my life," Alley said.
The Art of Men lifts the lid on the behaviour of all the guys she has dated and the famous men she has worked with.

Let's say you have a frayed overstuffed chair that you want to learn how to reupholster (I do.) Let's say you have very few house-holding skills although you recently learned the hard way how to strip 98 years worth of wallpaper and paint from lathe and plaster walls (I just did.)
How do you find someone in the neighborhood to swap a re-upholstery lesson for wallpaper stripping? Enter the homegrown online social networking tool Bright Neighbor designed with Portland in mind.
One goal is to connect people and tighten neighborhood bonds, said founder Randy White. Another is to help us live greener, more sustainable lives by sharing our stuff - from tools and vegetables - to car rides around town.
"If money went away tomorrow, this is a construct of helping us keep it together," said White, who launched the site in November and made Portland the test ground for Bright Neighbor.
"We have enough stuff and enough people. We just need leadership and action."
Whatever happened to just hanging out on your porch and meeting neighbors?
That's great when it happens, said White, but it doesn't always these days. "The secret is: I'm hoping we don't need Bright Neighbor," he said. Someday.
Maybe after he has convinced cities around the country to buy the platform, which he is calling a "greening behavior tool."
White recently threw a sustainability party in the Southwest with free beer and pizza and, of course, a lot of people showed up. But online membership is now at 4,000 and growing. This week the city of Portland linked to it on its Portland is Better Together page.
"It's a social networking tool that's uniquely attentive to Portlanders identifying with their neighborhoods ... and getting people to connect wtih one another," said Brian Hoop, neighborhood resource center manager for the Office of Neighborhood Involvement.
White, 32, has long been interested in sustainability issues and writes the blog Lawns to Gardens. He is also in the Portland band Railer.
Manyskills, this guy. But can he strip wallpaper?

Title: Pediatric medical doctor
Company: Good Samaritan Pediatrics
Years in Field: 4
Q: At what age do babies start teething?
A: Babies usually begin to teethe between 6 and 10 months of age. It can be as early as 3 or 4 months. The first teeth to appear are the bottom front teeth, also known as central incisors.
Q: Are all babies cranky when they're teething? Does teething cause a fever?
A: While primary teeth are erupting, it is normal for babies to be cranky, chew on objects, have excessive drooling and have disrupted sleeping or eating patterns.
Parents frequently report fever or diarrhea in teething infants; however, no proven association exists between these symptoms and teething.
Q: Should a pain reliever be given to a teething infant?
A: If nothing else helps, you can turn to infant acetaminophen or baby Orajel applied to gums to provide relief, but always check with your doctor before using these.
Q: What should be done to ease the teething process?
A: Infant gums feel better when gentle pressure is placed on the gum. A clean finger, cold washcloth or chilled teething ring can be soothing, but avoid liquid-filled teething rings as they might break.
Q: What are some examples of safe items that a baby can chew on?
A: A chilled wet washcloth and chilled teething ring work best, but avoid using these when frozen as extreme cold may hurt or bruise the gum. Parents can also try using a cold nipple from one of the infant's bottles or frozen mashed bananas for the infant to chew on.

text: Wolverines Feds Decide Wolverine Does Not Merit Threatened Species Status By Tom Banse • Aug 12, 2014 AP Photo/Defenders of Wildlife, Ken Curtis The wolverine is not going on the threatened species list, after all. On Tuesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced federal protected status for the fierce and rare carnivore is unwarranted at this time. The wolverine is making a slow comeback from the brink of extinction in the Lower 48 states. But shrinking mountain snow packs caused by global warming could reverse those gains. Wolverines stage comeback in Northwest, but for how long? By Tom Banse & KPLU News Staff • Mar 3, 2011 USFS Listen Listening... / One of the rarest mammals in North America is staging a comeback here in the Northwest. Wildlife biologists have tracked wolverines on mountainsides where they haven't been seen in many decades. But several new studies also suggest the recovery could be short lived if mountain snowlines retreat due to global warming.

The limited-edition, hand-crafted, solar-powered hit single
This week I read that those samurai rap legends the Wu-Tang Clan are making a very special album. There will only be one copy, and it will be recorded on the highest quality of materials. It will be housed in a handcrafted silver box (which is now hanging out in Morocco) and will travel around the world, where fans can listen to it one at a time under tight anti-piracy security at festivals.
Call it pompous, but this is brilliant. The brothers Wu have long used the mystique surrounding the group to continue its legend for 20-some years. The secret-album-in-silver-box story keeps up with their whole ancient martial-arts image. Even Forbes predicts that this could be a big moneymaker for any investor who would want to buy the sole copy of the album, which is sure to be full of great tracks. Not that I'll ever know.
Like the record attached to the Voyager spacecraft, they can put this masterpiece into space – aliens need something with a beat.
The lucky few who get to listen to some of the two-hour album will be continuing the practice of music-making as an art. From wax to reel-to-reel to 8-track to cassette to CD and back again, crafting the format music is released on is just as artistic and detailed as the music itself.
Beck released an album as sheet music – you can record it yourself. Albums also come out one track at a time, or the whole thing debuted live onstage.
Before it gets to the point that music is released as a series of dog-whistle decibel sounds that need to be deciphered by a musical dog app and played back to you at human frequencies, let us just reminisce a bit about simpler musical times.
First, there were those little record-and-storybook deals. Then came my first actual music records (ZZ Top and "We Are The World" when I was 4).
When you first begin forming your tastes and music persona, the world is your oyster. I combed BMG, Music X, Waves, NRM and Music Oasis for tapes and later CDs to teach me about life, and to serve as an outlet for those awkward teen years.
Records were dying out as I entered the scene. Tapes were it. They were portable, sturdy, and the spines created a wall of look-who-I'm-into when stacked into towers. You could cram a dozen into a glove box. Colorful rectangles of possibilities.
My car has a tape player, and I pop in my "Adventures of Pete and Pete" cassette sampler I got in a box of Corn Pops. Bands are releasing new music on tapes, just to be cute. Tapes, I salute you.
CDs – sorry, you are too flimsy, too easily scratched, too hard to cram into a glove box. You can scotch-tape a cassette if it snaps – CDs, good luck. Opening a new CD? That plastic wrap is impenetrable. And why did they come in those huge boxes at first? They need to breathe?
When NRM at Eastwood Mall closed, I filled an actual garbage bag with closeout CDs and tapes. Some for cover art alone – others, morbid curiosity.
The Digital Age swept us, and while I enjoy having 21,000 songs all in a device the size of a Pop Tart, it lacks personality. No iPod or tablet is big enough to convey colorful, psychedelic album art.
Thankfully, vinyl has spun back around to rule once again. New music is being released in high-quality wax, in handsome volumes with colorful art. I have bought more vinyl records in the past few years than downloads.
There's something more social, elegant, homey, about the vinyl experience. Music while driving will always be a close second, but vinyl on a Sunday afternoon can't be beat. Caveat – records are not good for a room full of dancing people.
So, to recap: vinyl, then digital, then tapes, then CDs. Box sets, cool album art and foldout covers are still appreciated. Packaging cool stuff like coasters and posters and bubblegum with albums? Feel free. Albums that play themselves using solar power? Get on it.
What will be the next format to get lost under the seat of your car? Not sure. When it comes, I'll still be waiting in line to hear the new Wu-Tang Clan.
What's your favorite format? Tell me at ssepanek@ tribtoday.com.

How I Lost 40 Pounds With Project 10 Challenge By Visalus
Almost one year ago I was 40 pounds heavier than I am today. Today we're going to talk about how I lost that weight.
One year ago I was challenged by Shanna McDonald to lose 10 pounds. Shanna's challenge was very specific. I was to utilize the Body By Vi Project 10 Challenge. She said that in using this challenge that I would accomplish two things.
First, I would lose 10 pounds quickly and safely.
Second, by losing 10 pounds I would feed an overweight child for a month.
Now, to be honest I needed to lose a few pounds, but the thought of feeding an overweight child for merely losing 10 pounds intrigued me.
Shanna explained, that not only would I feed a child, but that for every 10 pounds I lost I would feed an additional child.
I found this incredible.
Shanna went on to explain that the company had served hundreds of thousands of meals to at risk kids using this program.
Well, how could I turn that down!
But wait there's more.
She also explained that every time I lost 10 pounds I would be entered in a weekly drawing for $1000 cash and that I would be eligible for 10 weeks for every 10 pounds lost.
Now personally I am not a big reader myself and maybe you aren't either.
So to save us both some time. Here's a video explaining how I lost the weight and how the program works. Click Here Now

There are a lot of obvious giveaways in this shot, but you still need to stand in awe at how good a job the spider does. It makes up for a lack of antennae, and an overabundance of legs, by holding its forelegs up, alongside the head. Its huge anterior medial eyes are colored to match the head when not viewed directly, and the posterior lateral eyes are enlarged, with darkened pigment around them to mimic an ant's eyes. Also, the cephalothorax and abdomen are deformed and narrowed considerably.
As a bonus, I came across a spectacular video (below) of Myrmarachne plataleoides (or a closely related species) showing off its retinal scanning behavior. Jumping spiders have narrow, horizontal band retinas in their large anterior eyes which they scan from side to side with muscles inside the head. This is very similar to the retina structure and head motions of diving beetle larvae, which I discuss in detail here.
For more, you can read my previous post about jumping spider vision, or check out some adorable macro videography of jumping spiders by Thomas Shahan.

AJC Active Backup
At a Glance
Generic Company Place Holder AJC Active Backup
AJC consists of two modules. There's a backup applet that sits in the system tray waiting to backup files in locations you specify and a viewer module that lets you browse the revisions of documents added to the program's proprietary .aja compressed archive files. The program performed well in my testing, though it didn't offer to copy previously archived files when I changed the backup location. It did however, keep track of files that were changed while the backup destination was unavailable (my NAS box was off) and copy them when the location became available again.
My only other wish is that AJC would back up to multiple locations. I feel better when I know my current articles are backed up both to local storage and something remote on the other end of the network.

Alice Cooper
When: 7 p.m. Thursday.
Co-headliner: Marilyn Manson.
Where: Jacobs Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St., on the west bank of Cleveland's Flats.
Tickets: $45-$60, available at the box office, Ticketmaster locations, ticketmaster.com and by phone at 1-800-745-3000 .
When you think of Alice Cooper, the obvious thought is of the stage show — the guillotine, the faux hanging, the fake blood, the python, the gore — all that. But close your eyes and listen and you'll hear clever words sung by a surprisingly melodic voice.
"I started when I was 15, and I'm 65 now," Cooper said in a call from his Phoenix home. "It's the only job I've had in my whole life. I must know what I'm doing because I'm still doing it."
Cooper, who stops at Jacobs Pavilion on Thursday with fellow shock rocker Marilyn Manson for the Monsters of Madness Tour, said he knows exactly why he's sold more than 50 million records in his career.
"I've really got my priorities straight," he said. "If you're going to have a cake with icing, first you've gotta have the cake, and in this case, the cake is the music."
Both Bob Dylan and John Lennon have gone on record as saying that Cooper, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, is the most underrated writer in rock 'n' roll music.
"[Groucho] Marx and [Salvador] Dali would be talking about the show, but this is the Beatles and Dylan talking about the music," said Cooper, who was friends with the late comedian and the artist. "To me, that was more important."
Cooper is an unabashed fan of the Beatles, so it's no surprise that Lennon's praise had so much meaning for him. And his love of the band is behind one of his more famous quotes, which noted that some of today's bands are missing the mark because they "forgot to listen to the Beatles."
"If you said, 'Name me 20 hits from the ¤'60s,' that would be easy," Cooper said. "Seventies? Same thing. Eighties? A little thinner. Nineties? Much thinner. It's because every generation got further away from the Beatles. When we came out, everybody from Crosby, Stills and Nash to I don't know who was picking up melody lines from the Beatles.
"Ozzy [Osbourne] and I would sit there and talk all day about how important 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' were, and how much they influenced our tune-writing," he said.
That's clearly evident on one particular ballad on Cooper's most recent album, 2011's "Welcome 2 My Nightmare": "Something to Remember Me By." The Beatlesque song was written by Cooper and the man he calls his version of the Fab Four's George Martin, Bob Ezrin, in 1975, the year Cooper issued his first solo album, "Welcome to My Nightmare."
But to return to Cooper's dessert metaphor, his musical cakes have a tasty icing, too. That would be the tale each tune tells, and he does it so well, in a setting so theatrical, that it's only natural to ask: What about writing a Broadway musical?
"I think that's what I do right now," said Cooper with a laugh. "Every show is a Broadway musical. The show is written around a character and there's always a story line. Eventually, when somebody decides they're going to do the Broadway play, 'Alice Cooper,' any young guy who picks up the idea of playing Alice on Broadway is going to have a fun time."
True. But he'd darn sure better be able to sing, for goodness' snakes!

Everyday Dining and Eating places in Malta
Paceville, in the busy suburbs of St Julianâs is a heaving mass of bars, pubs, clubs, neon lights and the extremely most recent in modern dance songs. Yet prior to making ready for what could be a extended and extravagant night out on the dance ground, a food is suggested.
Paceville might not only be saturated with consuming establishments, it is also densely concentrated with an extraordinary number of restaurants and eateries, from fine dining dining establishments to sushi bars, bistros and everyday eating encounters, all best for assembly up with family and friends, or enjoying a romantic supper. Dining places in Malta have lots to provide, and The Avenue, nestled in the heart of the lively centre of town, is no exception.
Casual dining fulfills wealthy decor, welcoming Maltese employees and a warming, hearty ambiance, and this is just before the meals! The Avenue, like several restaurants in Malta, delivers a delectably range of Maltese and Mediterranean favourites, from tasty seafood salads to octopus and rabbit dishes. Classics such as grills are also on supply, at no extravagant prices. Even the more expensive dishes this kind of as a fillet steak or beef will not break the financial institution at much less than twenty Euros for each plate.
Like all excellent relaxed diners, The Avenue has an ambience that is second to none. Excellent for childrenâs birthdays, hens functions, engagements, reunions, staff parties...any event you can feel of. A beautiful choice of wonderful food items and wines, as properly as a diverse kids menu indicates that this restaurant in Malta is perfect for everyone, from locals to vacationers alike.
Relaxed, yet smart is a distinctive feature amongst restaurants in Malta, and The Avenueâs welcoming atmosphere and hospitable staff will guarantee that you take pleasure in your meal, from waiting to be seated to paying out the remarkably inexpensive bill at the stop. We will display you to the door, say our thanks yous, and leave you to enjoy the delights of Paceville on a total and content tummy.

Skip to comments.Venezuela denies rumors Chavez died in Cuba
Posted on 04/23/2012 12:18:44 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
CARACAS (Reuters) - Officials in President Hugo Chavez's government denied rumors that the leftist leader may have died while undergoing cancer treatment in Cuba six months ahead of an election in South America's top oil exporter.
In the nine days since he left for Havana to have two final radiation sessions for an undisclosed cancer, Chavez has only addressed Venezuelans by short messages on Twitter to cheer supporters and hail the advances of his socialist "revolution."
His unusually long silence - during previous trips to Cuba the verbose Chavez has made phone calls to state television - has stirred speculation about his health and doubts over his condition as he campaigns for re-election in an October 7 vote.
In the past, Havana published pictures and video of him meeting his mentor, former Cuba leader Fidel Castro. There have been no images released from this visit, so far.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Twitter reporting that this MORNING FT I think the dude is ailing or at death door that I gather
The Venezuelans should consider themselves lucky to be governed by twitter rather than being governed, as we Americans are, by twits and nitwits.
He's dead, Jim.
He's had so much radiation probably looks like a raisin.
There's a simple explanation........he's sleeping...........really soundly............
He is not dead. On good authority that GOD has not yet made is spot in Hell hot enough....
Maybe he'll be smelling sulfer before George W.Bush.That's one less Commie Rat in the Western Hemispere.At least I can hope.
Pining for fjords.
Pining for the fjords.
Haven't seen any "Miss me yet?" billboards with 'Ugo on them. Maybe a FReeper can do a parody.
We all die.
Dictators just get a happier reaction when they croak.
He tweeted that he was really a fan of Ozzie Guillen.
I have the strange feeling this thread is about to turn into a Weekend At Bernie's photoshop contest...
I guess this means Holder still allows him to vote for Obama in November's election. /s
I lost my father to cancer back in February, swore then I wouldn't want that on my worst enemy.
That being said I hope he felt a little regret that some of the best doctors in the world are up here in the "Land of Satan" and he removed that option for help himself.
Beautiful plumage, tho.
>> We all die. Dictators just get a happier reaction when they croak.
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
— Proverbs 11:10
Can you imagine the state of health care in Venezuela that he had to go to Cuba for treatment? My God!
He has a cold.
As long as everyone is getting in their PhotoShop requests, I'd like to see Hugo on Dancing With The Stars and his partner is either Hillary or Nancy doing some flamboyant Latin America dance like the Cucuracha Stomp. Can you make that happen?
Old tyrants don't die—they just smell that way.
The corpse, the corpse, the corpse. Sulphur.
Chavez was crying: Don't let me die, I got things to do!
And I'm truly sorry for the loss of your father. May God receive his soul. I'm certain you will see him again.
Re: I lost my father to cancer back in February, swore then I wouldnt want that on my worst enemy.
it was just astonishing he did this in cuba to start with. He could have gone to spain, possibly, with a lower degree of embarrassment and still had access to much better quality of care. Hell CASTRO went to spain, iirc.
Maybe. Could be the Kremlin Flu.
Thank you for those words. We own a family business and I've worked side by side with since I was a little kid, over 30 years now.
I still don't think it has hit me yet.
I meant to add that God rest your father
I'd guess that he doesn't trust Venezuelan medicos.
I hear people like Sean Penn and Michal Moore touting how good their healthcare is all the time but I highly doubt it myself. Without the money for the latest generation of equipment there is no way it comes close to what we have here, just that it's free.
What a price you have to pay for that free though...
Hugo... Satan is preparing a spot for you... next to OBL and Lenin!!
Hey Hugo, since you're going to kick the bucket anyway, can we have your oil?
Obama won't let us have or own.
There once was man named Chavez
Whose head was attached like a Pez.
They flipped back his neck
for quick cancer check
Now nobody cares what he says.
A communist git from Caracas,
Known throughout all the world as a jackass;
..Went to Heaven, not Hell
..Walked up, rang the bell,
And St. Pete kicked him in the maracas.
He may be in Spain or even Rochester Mn?
He may be in Spain or even Rochester Mn?
It's all capitalist lies ... I'm going to Disneyland!
Bravo Sir.
There once once was fat Venezuelan
whose liver and lungs were a failin'
Said his buddy Fidel
I'm not feeling well"
That's two less Commie scumbags a wailin'
A fat commmie rat named hugo
Said stealing is one thing I do know
But his anus got cancer
He went to cuba for answers
And they whittled away on his culo
Dirt Nappers Gone Wild!
Now Hugo..
Oh the agony..
(...six months ahead of an election in South America's top oil exporter.)
There are better ways than Reuter's to describe Venezuela. The words "South America's basket case", or "South America's Zimbabwe" come to mind...to be joined shortly by Bolivia and Argentina who deserve honorable mentions. Poor Chile is getting to be surrounded by losers.
Well haven't hear anything on Twitter JUST YET I keep eye on it I think he is ailing tha reason is he hasn't been seen in public
Hint hint Russia leader funeral anybody LOL!
Not so sure he would be welcome in Spain, either. It was, IIRC, the Spanish king Juan Carlos who said to Chavez in a meeting in Chile, "Why don't you just shut up!"
That Hugo is just a zany character.
We can only hope for the worst.

Just after 3:20 p.m., Oregon State Police reported that a 2007 Cadillac sedan driven by Wendy Lynn Mizee, 33, from Tillamook, was westbound on the highway, also known as the Wilson River Highway, when the driver attempted to negotiate a right curve.
Investigators aren't sure what caused the Cadillac to cross the centerline and collide head-on with a 2003 International truck driven by 65-year-old Willard T. Richards of Salem.
Mizee and her 8-year old daughter, Shelby Mizee, were pronounced dead at the scene, said OSP Sergeant Greg Plummer. The mother was using safety restraints and her daughter was seated in the right rear seat position in a booster seat.
Richards was transported by ambulance to Tillamook County General Hospital with minor injuries. He was using safety restraints.-- Kimberly A.C. Wilson

The DDA on Monday requested that Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell convene a group of stakeholders to discuss late-night noise levels from festivals and parties in the city. The DDA will be represented on the task force by representatives from DKA Charities and the citizen advisory committee that brought the issue forward.
Joe Agostinelli, a spokesman for Portage developer MAVCON, said his company would welcome the opportunity to participate in these conversations. MAVCON's project, the Metropolitan Center in the 100 block of East Michigan Avenue, includes 24 apartments.
"The festival site, specifically the concerts that come from them, are probably the biggest selling point for our new apartments," Agostinelli said.
Patrick Halpin, a downtown resident and developer who also is on the DKA Charities board, said the noise level from the festival site and the hours of festivals there seem to have increased.
"There needs to be some balance because there is a quality of life issue," he said.
The bar situation is different than the festival site, he said.
Hopewell, who is a member of the DDA, said the noise issue seems to go beyond the festival site and that the Kalamazoo City Commission would have the authority for any ordinance changes that would come out of the discussion.
"I'm just trying to make sure that whatever process we use to get at this opportunity that we do it in the most efficient and effective way."
DKI executive director Ken Nacci suggested the city be the convener of the citywide discussion, noting that "often times we get noise complaints that aren't related to the festival place."
"What we really want to be is a participant," Nacci said.

City Council meetings here usually don't last long. Councilors move quickly through agendas; few citizens come to speak. The whole affair is over by 8 p.m.
But Tuesday's meeting stretched past 10 p.m. The sizable audience -- 19 of whom spoke in the public hearing -- seemed to agree, for better or worse, with Economic Development Director John Southgate's proclamation: Tuesday was a historical night.
The council approved by a 5-0 vote a plan to create a downtown urban renewal district. If the council approves the plan a second time, as required by city charter, on May 4, the city could, over 20 years, spend up to $95 million of new property taxes from that area on brick-and- mortar projects such as new sidewalks, storefront improvements and parks. It would be only the second such district in the city's history.
Though most people spoke in favor, even proponents agreed with the five opponents who testified in asking the city for transparency as it moves forward. That means developing a more specific list of projects, holding public meetings on each and creating an advisory board that includes skeptics, too.
"We've had a great process so far," said Kimberly Culbertson, chairwoman of the Heart of Hillsboro neighborhood group. "We just need to keep that going."
Council members and staff listened to those suggestions, furiously writing down specifics. Councilor Nenice Andrews, often a quieter voice on the board, discussed each complaint, asking staff how those concerns could be addressed.
Those include Al Waibel's assertion that the proposal is an incomplete outline rather than a complete business plan.
Orenco resident Dan Bloom suggested that other departments, such as police and fire, would eventually lack the money to perform services, because the urban renewal district would divert new money away from them and back into the district. When costs in those departments rise, Bloom asked, would city residents have to pay more taxes or risk losing service?
Ultimately, Andrews said, "I get the sense that there is a general mistrust. I don't know what to do with that except continue to ask the questions. I know it's a leap of faith."
Others who testified spoke unabashedly about their support. Scott Palmer, artistic director of Bag and Baggage Productions, said his downtown theater company surveyed the 6,000 people who attended performances last season. Of those who responded, about 68 percent go out to eat before or after a show, Palmer said, and they spend an average of $60 per couple. Of those, only 12 percent said they eat downtown.
That's because, the attendees said, downtown Hillsboro just isn't vibrant. There aren't enough restaurants and wine bars and pubs. Palmer said urban renewal could change that.
Janet Young, an Orenco Station resident who has worked on urban renewal districts in Tualatin and Gresham, said the districts aren't as lucrative as they used to be but are still a great tool for cities.
"The great thing about Hillsboro," she said, "is it really does have great bones. But it isn't a vibrant place. Improvements that make us want to spend time downtown will really benefit all of us in the city."

Most children do not need shoes until they have been walking for at least 6-8 weeks, and even after then, shoes are generally only needed to protect their feet from the surfaces they are walking on. Bare feet are best.
In the first 5-6 years, choose shoes carefully. It is better to have one good pair of shoes than two pairs of poor quality shoes. They need to fit properly. For new walkers, soft soled, non slip shoes are best.

The New York Times-Washington Post Headline-Sharing Conspiracy Vindicates Their Longtime Critics
Are you still a "conspiracy nut" when the conspiracy is acknowledged?
You'll have to excuse those of us who remember The Clinton Administration's tortured and hysterical layout of a supposed right-wing media conspiracy ("The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce") if our smiles are a bit wider than usual today.
Editor & Publisher reports that The New York Times and Washington Post have been "co-operating" for years (HT Tapscott Copy Desk via Instapundit), and we now understand why the papers' front pages often seem so similar.
It's because they're intended to be (bold is mine):
NEW YORK When The New York Times on July 16 broke the story of a 2003 State Department memo that had become a key element in the Valerie Plame leak investigation, the paper scored a major exclusive. But when The Washington Post hit newsstands that very same Saturday, it had its own version of the same story. It even credited the Times for the same-day scoop.
Welcome to life under the Washington Post-New York Times swap. As part of a secret arrangement formed more than 10 years ago, the Post and Times send each other copies of their next day's front pages every night. The formal sharing began as a courtesy between Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. and former Times Executive Editor Joseph Lelyveld in the early 1990s and has continued ever since.
"It seemed logical, because for years we would always try to get a copy of each other's papers as soon as they came out," Downie tells E&P. "It made sense to both of us to make it simpler for everybody." Lelyveld, who left the Times in 2001, declined comment.
What's stunning about the E&P piece is the failure to even mention the ethical considerations involved in the headline-sharing agreement. So Tapscott makes an obvious but still clearly necessary point:
In any other industry, this would be called "collusion" and the Times and Post editorial pages would be in high dudgeon, demanding anti-trust investigations by the Department of Justice.
Tapscott also wonders if the "cooperation" went beyond headline sharing into other areas. So do I.
Maybe Justice should rehire Joel Klein, the Assistant Attorney General under Janet Reno who tried to break up Microsoft, to do a top-to-bottom investigation of the two papers. Just kidding–Klein would almost certainly be a lapdog for his buds in the liberal press. Justice should clearly consider getting a hard-nosed antitrust person involved in investigating this.
Or is there a liberal media antitrust exemption I haven't heard about?
It's hard to underestimate the influence on news coverage a collusive agreement like this may have had, especially before the rise of the blogosphere. If the headlines were in sync, so were the perspectives on the news. Since the main stories in these two papers were the dominant influences at the time in driving what was considered important by other newspaper and TV outlets, the lack of variety in the two papers' coverage worked to ensure near-uniformity elsewhere.
If the two papers hadn't colluded, we may have seen non-identical takes on at least the following pre-2004 events:
- The Oklahoma City bombing.
- The 1995 government shutdown.
- TWA 800 crash.
- The 1996 presidential election.
- The impeachment of Bill Clinton by the House and his non-conviction by the Senate.
- The credible Juannita Broadderick rape allegations that were made during the Clinton impeachment and Senate "trial" (in this case, the allegations were NOT reported by either paper).
- The 2000 presidential election.
- The 9/11 attacks.
Another more sinister thought: "Over 10 years ago" places the beginning of this agreement to when the Republicans took over Congress for the first time in 40 years. Could the collusion have been a politically-motivated response to present an appearance of united opposition to initiatives of the new Republican majority and to prevent Bill Clinton's near-slide into irrelevance after the 1994 debacle?
On the other hand, if the agreement began even earlier in the "early 1990s," it may have come about in an attempt to counter the rise (read: "threat") of Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy, and other national talk radio figures. By the time Mr. Clinton took office in 1993, the talkers had created a forceful outlet for opposition to Clinton Administration initiatives that gave him serious problems during his first two years in office.
Regardless, the papers need to end their "Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy" at once. While not as "simple," competition will force each paper to improve its product. Goodness knows they both could use some improvement.

Bay County's Frankenlust Township - near Interstate 75 and colleges, between hospitals and shopping venues - keeps winning new residents due to location.
But the Rev. Stephen and Sharon Schilke loved something else about the township that again defied Michigan population trends and gained people from 2006 to 2007: amenities.
"We were looking for a place with all the utilities: sewer lines, water lines, natural gas service and electricity," said Stephen Schilke, 61, who plans to move with his wife into their new home in Frankenlust Township in November.
"We looked at a bunch of properties in this area, and this was the only spot that had all four; every other place lacked at least one of those services," Stephen Schilke said.
Frankenlust Township gained more people - 81 - than any other Bay County township or city from 2006 to 2007, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released last month.
The township grew by 2.7 percent during that period, with a new estimated population of 3,030. Such an increase was rare.
The population dropped in all 14 northeast Michigan counties in The Times' coverage area during that year.
Gladwin County posted the biggest loss, percentage-wise, with a 1.5 percent decline and an estimated decrease of 408 residents. Gladwin County's latest population is 26,287, according to the Census Bureau.
Huron County was close behind, losing 1.2 percent of its people in one year, according to census figures. Huron County's population fell from 33,682 residents in 2006 to 33,290 last year.
Saginaw County lost 2,656 people, or 1.3 percent of its population, with an estimated 204,924 residents in the county as of last year. Bay County lost 536 people, or 0.5 percent of its population, leaving an estimated 108,053 residents in the county.
Among Bay County's 18 cities and villages, 14 lost population. Only Frankenlust Township, Mount Forest Township, Garfield Township and Beaver Township posted gains.
The city of Bay City suffered an estimated loss of 315 people, with the 2007 population pegged at 34,026, according to the Census Bureau.
Some residents, such as Sharon Schilke's parents - Ben and Una Krupa - still reside in Bay City. The Schilkes plan to move from their home in Onaway to get closer to the Krupas and other relatives.
The Schilkes' daughter, Dawn Shea, lives near Freeland.
The Schilkes' new home, rising along Kloha Road west of M-84, "has a country feel but we're five to 10 minutes from all the shopping opportunities we'd ever want," Stephen Schilke said.
Workers with JD Crew Construction Inc., of Gladwin, continue working on the 1,900-square-foot home.
"We didn't want a gas pig (cylinder) in our back yard, and we didn't want well water," said Sharon Schilke, 60, a former human resources manager at Saginaw's Means Industries Inc. who plans to seek a new job once the couple moves to Bay County this fall.
Paul and Joan Wilson, who moved into Frankenlust Township in 2006, helped boost Frankenlust's population.
Paul Wilson, 65, said he and his wife moved from Saginaw County's Tittabawassee Township to Bay County because of lower taxes in Frankenlust Township.
The Wilsons, living in a home along Kraenzlein Road north of Freeland Road, also appreciate the lack of traffic at their new location.
"We lived along Tittabawassee Road before we moved, and that was like an interstate," Paul Wilson said. "We liked this road because it's a short little 2-mile-long road, and the only traffic is local.
"The most traffic we get is on Sunday morning with people driving to and from St. John Lutheran Church of Amelith."
Notable gainers and losers of population from 2006 to 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau:
Frankenlust Twp. (Bay Co.) + 81 (+ 2.7%)
Mount Forest Twp. (Bay Co.) + 34 (+ 2.0 %)
Garfield Twp. (Bay Co.) + 19 (+ 1.0%)
Grim Twp. (Gladwin Co.) + 2 (+ 0.9%)
Indianfields Twp. (Tuscola Co.) + 52 (+ 0.8 %)
Billings Twp. (Gladwin Co.) - 47 (- 1.7%)
Standish Twp. (Arenac Co.) - 32 (- 1.6%)
Clare city (Clare Co.) - 41 (- 1.3%)
Sebewaing Twp. (Huron Co.) - 35 (- 1.3%)
Bay City (Bay Co.) - 315 (- 0.9%)

By Jean M. McLean
By Jean M. McLeanSpecial assignments writer
That's the job-seeking advice offered by human resource consultants like Stephanie Ochsenhirt, director of career services for Birmingham's ITT Technical Institute.
Ochsenhirt is also vice president of sponsorship for the Birmingham Society of Human Resource Management (BSHRM). She presented a social networking seminar during BSHRM's 2009 Workforce Survivor event.
"My main message was that in today's job search, being active in social media is vital to your career," Ochsenhirt said.
By setting up an account on www.Twitter.com and choosing fields of professional interest, job seekers can research companies, industries and trends that help them narrow their prospects.
Websites like www.TweetMyJobs.com can introduce seekers to openings and human resource professionals.
Those looking for a job might also follow a company's updates, gathering information from firm or executive tweets on company projects, advertising or other public news.
Although Twitter is a valuable tool, Ochsenhirt considers Linked In to be a key career networking site.
"I utilized it all the time when I was a corporate recruiter," she said.
An effective Linked In page includes an updated work history, supervisors' quotes and links to professional groups. By checking the site at least twice a week and updating information and status reports regularly, job hunters are, in effect, posting their resumes for key targets.
The professional blog is another online tool gaining in popularity, said April Dowling, Birmingham human resources generalist with The Outsource Group. She started her blog, www.pseudohr.com, last March after a BSHRM presentation on the importance of establishing web presence.
Your professional blog might share insights on your profession. A teacher could give tips on parental management of homework. A sales rep could list his favorite marketing tactics. If done in a professional way, a blog can showcase your talent, Dowling said.
Those using a blog should "be real, be yourself, but at the same time, be careful what you say," said Dowling.
Don't post anything that might reflect negatively on an employer or threaten client confidentiality agreements.
"Treat your blog like a job," said Dowling. Blogs should be updated once a week and be carefully written, with correct grammar and spelling.
