Getting a house ready for that final step, putting the "for sale" sign in the front yard and welcoming strangers into your home to critique it, is hard enough when you don't have an endless supply of children's stuff laying around. People coming into view your home and potentially make an offer to buy it don't want to trip over stuffed animals, dolls, bouncy seats, baby swings, race cars, or video game systems. They don't want to feel like they have inadvertently entered a Toys R Us store instead of the home they were maybe considering purchasing.
The trick is to make your place look like a great place for kids without it looking like there isn't room for all the stuff that come with kids. Plus not everyone looking at your home is going to a) have kids b) want kids or c) care if the house is a good family house. Staging your house to appeal to all potential buyers, whether they have kids or not, means staging your house so that the people looking at it barely notice all the kid stuff.
As someone currently getting her place ready for sale and in the market looking at homes I may want to purchase I know both how hard it can be to make all that kid stuff seem like it has disappeared and what a difference having a house properly staged can make on a potential buyer. It doesn't matter if your house is big or small, has lots of storage or lacks storage. The key is good staging. Here are a few tips and tricks for keeping all that kid stuff in check while you are trying to sell your home.
- Go through it all and get rid of anything that you no longer need. If you have been holding onto old baby gear like high chairs, bouncy seats, diaper genies, etc, but don't plan on having any more kids get rid of it. Donate it, recycle it, etc.
- Consider renting a storage locker somewhere so you can store stuff your kids aren't currently using but you will have a need for in the future. For example if it is summer your kids won't need all their winter gear like snowsuits, sleds, skis, etc so put it in storage. Any toys or gear your kids have outgrown but that future children will need can go in the storage locker.
- If you have a playroom make sure it is well organized and doesn't look to cluttered. Consider a shelving unit and bins to help keep toys organized and up off the floor when the house is being shown.
- If you don't have a playroom and your kids use your living room as their play area consider getting versatile pieces of furniture that can act as storage for the kids toys but still look like grown up furniture. For example, a ottoman that opens for storage can make a great toy box. Beautiful weaved baskets to slide into the bottom shelf of a book shelf in the living room also are great ways to stow kids toys away and still have the room look like a grown up space. Consider storing most of their toys (or at least some of their toys) in their bedroom during showings.
- Keep kids bedrooms clean and clutter-free. Organize book shelves, kids toys and clothing in a fashion that is cute and clean.
The idea is make the kids stuff blend into the rest of the house. You want potential buyers to recognize that this is a great house for kids but at the same time not feel like a nice grown up house as well. If they have children they will love seeing bedrooms already nicely decorated for kids, and that there is enough space in the house that they won't have to worry about tripping over their own kids' stuff if they decide to buy the house. A well staged, clutter free, clean house is always more appealing to potential buyers.
When you are getting ready to sell your house be sure to talk to your real estate agent about your kids' stuff and find out what recommendations they have.
2 Responses to Getting Your House Ready to Sell When You Have Kids
All great tips! Ikea has some great inexpensive shelving that is great for hiding kids toys in bins! And I think that without a playroom a storage unit is almost a must!

Dumping Out the Mind's File Cabinet
For art seekers looking to test their understanding of memory and the irreplaceable imprints of past experiences, an exhibition of new works by Gael Stack may be a decent place to start. Stack uses brief messages and overlapping sketches to reflect memory's complexity, and uses the concept of Sigmund Freud's "mystic writing pad" to detail the message of her drawings. The collection of works is entitled Forty One Songs and will premier at the Holly Johnson Gallery, located on 1411 Dragon St. Stack's works will be on display 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays until November 12. For more information about the exhibition or the gallery, call 214-369-0169 or visit hollyjohnsongallery.com.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: Oct. 15. Continues through Nov. 12, 2011

NBA Franchise Notes: T'Wolves Tweak Unis For Upcoming Season
Published August 17, 2010
|T'Wolves Unveil Modified Uniform
To Be Worn Next Season
The T'Wolves during the upcoming season will wear a "slightly modified uniform." The most "noticeable difference is the disappearance of green from the palette, leaving blue, silver, black and white as the colors." The font style for the numbers "has also been altered." The T'Wolves will wear "white at home and blue on the road, but they also plan to introduce an alternate road jersey at midseason" (AP, 8/16). Meanwhile, the T'Wolves "finalized their eight-game exhibition schedule" yesterday, highlighted by the team's participation in the NBA Europe Live series and a trip to Syracuse Univ., where G Jonny Flynn and F Wesley Johnson played. The team will open the preseason on Oct. 4 against the Lakers at London's O2 arena. The European trip also includes an Oct. 6 game in Paris against the Knicks (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 8/17).
STRIKING A NEW NOTE: In Utah, Loren Jorgensen notes the Jazz yesterday "showed off the team's new look during a fan fest." The new "navy blue-based road uniform" features the "old-style Jazz musical note logo on the chest in white and a gold number" on the stomach and back. The new home uniforms are "white with green numbers, navy letters with the Jazz note logo and gold stripes on the side." The team also unveiled an "800-pound banner on the northeast side" of EnergySolutions Arena featuring F Al Jefferson, F Paul Millsap and G Raja Bell in the new jerseys (DESERET NEWS, 8/17).
HOT TICKET: In Boston, Fee & Raposa report the Celtics' Oct. 26 home opener against the Heat is "one of the hottest tickets on the secondary market." The average cost of a seat to the game is $460. That is the "second-highest Opening Day ticket in the NBA" behind the Heat's Oct. 28 home opener against the Magic, which is selling for an average of $550 (BOSTON HERALD, 8/17).

Scales black as the darkest night
The top of your head out of my sight
Your form so glorious yet so fierce
Your eyes so potent the sky they pierce
Deep amber that cuts to the soul
You bellow fire in the deepest cold
Bright flames that leap to heaven
Someone cries "You charred Kevin"
As you walk you claws on the ground do click
"Fire Fire" the police empty another clip
The bullets bounce of you heavy armor
you glare at them but seem even calmer
I stare at your handsome jaws
So powerful, like your giant paws
You stare as us and walk our city
You golden eyes shine with pity
Humans cannot live forever
They become victims of their last endeavours
Humans unlike dragons cannot fly
They unlike dragons are doomed to die
Yet we judge you as a monster evil
We believe you the hound of the Devil
We judge you to look so ugly
Yet you do not judge as smugly

Joe and Anthony Russo, director of "Captain America : The Winter Soldier", are expected to be back at the reigns for "Captain America 3".

Introduction to Do Economists Make Markets? On the Performativity of Economics
In: Do Economists Make Markets? On the Performativity of Economics
Around the globe, economists affect markets by saying what markets are doing, what they should do, and what they will do. Increasingly, experimental economists are even designing real-world markets. But, despite these facts, economists are still largely thought of as scientists who merely observe markets from the outside, like astronomers look at the stars. Do Economists Make Markets? boldly challenges this view. It is the first book dedicated to the controversial question of whether economics is performative--of whether, in some cases, economics actually produces the phenomena it analyzes. The book's case studies--including financial derivatives markets, telecommunications-frequency auctions, and individual transferable quotas in fisheries--give substance to the notion of the performativity of economics in an accessible, nontechnical way. Some chapters defend the notion; others attack it vigorously. The book ends with an extended chapter in which Michel Callon, the idea's main formulator, reflects upon the debate and asks what it means to say economics is performative. The book's insights and strong claims about the ways economics is entangled with the markets it studies should interest--and provoke--economic sociologists, economists, and other social scientists. In addition to the editors and Callon, the contributors include Marie-France Garcia-Parpet, Francesco Guala, Emmanuel Didier, Philip Mirowski, Edward Nik-Khah, Petter Holm, Vincent-Antonin Lépinay, and Timothy Mitchell.

"We're destroying our world, and sooner or later someone has to pay the bill," explains Giorgio Cravero with photo series, 'Colors.'
Decaying food spurs an instant emotional reaction when encountered by any sense: revulsion at the smell, upset stomachs at the sight, and the thought of touching or, dare we say it, tasting a moldy banana is unbearable. Photos by Hasselblad Masters Competition-winning photographer Giorgio Cravero capture the despair of entropy in all living things with Colors, a fun series of fruits and vegetables slowly being drained of their lives' essences.
"I was thinking about how man is interested in the appearance of the food more than in its taste or in its authenticity," Cravero tells The Creators Project. "You can't switch on your TV or open a magazine without been overwhelmed by lots of news about food, restaurants, chefs, etc. I tried to bring the interest back to the bone, the Nature, that without our intrusion is fully capable to produce what we need. We're destroying our world, and sooner or later someone has to pay the bill."
He captured the riveting series of photos with a combination of tempera paint and Photoshop. Each fruit was dipped in the pigment that most aligned with its own hue, then photographed endlessly to find the perfect drip. The body was manually desaturated in post by Cravero's collaborator Ivan Nikodimovich. The visual is both a protest against the glorification of food, and our industrial disregard for the natural world from which we rip it.
Enjoy the full Colors photo series below.

Enliven your neckline with the demure dazzle of this design! Inspired by Sonia's Galerie de Bijoux line, this necklace comes crafted from platinum embraced sterling silver. The necklace shines with seven round full cut 3.5mm amethyst and six round full cut white 2.5mm simulated diamonds, all in bezel settings.
Part of the Sonia Bitton Collection. Includes a blue pouch with romance card. Made in China.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Barrel Clasp: Used on most rope chains to make the chain more secure. The barrel clasp looks like part of the chain and twists to get a pendant on and off.
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
S-Clasp: An S-shaped piece of metal that connects a chain by hooking metal rings on each end of the S-shape.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Necklace Sizing
The length of a necklace or chain you buy depends upon a number of factors, including what you will be wearing with it and your neck size.
To measure your neck, wrap a soft, flexible tape measure around the base of your neck. This is the same measurement used for collar sizes in men's shirts. A good rule of thumb is to buy a necklace or chain a minimum of two sizes up from your neck measurement. Thus, a man with a 17" neck would want to skip the 18" size and get a 20" size to ensure a comfortable fit.
Appropriate women's necklace lengths are more dependent upon the style than neck measurement. Knowing your basic neck measurement, though, will help you decide what length will work best with your outfit and create the look you are after.
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued . Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , a methyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears and ward off anger. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Lune de France is a very special variety of amethyst that rarely comes to market. From the northwest state of Amazon in Brazil, this gemstone comes from the Maraba mine. This lovely lilac gemstone features a unique velvet-like quality that at first observation can be confused for an opal or moonstone. The gemstone's internal structure contains natural, cloud-like veils of microscopic inclusions that are extremely minute, even under high power magnification. These inclusions cause the incoming light to scatter and reflect, thus creating an opalescent effect. While a similar inclusion structure can be expected in rose quartz, it almost never occurs in an amethyst. Lune de France features a natural lilac color and retains excellent transparency allowing it to be faceted for maximum light play.

Cross Academy is a school with a difference: in a unique and experimental setup designed by the headmaster, it has a Day Class consisting of ordinary humans and a Night Class filled with vampires. Yuki Cross and her friend Zero Kiryu are school prefects whose job it is to make sure the secret of the Night Class is always safe; they patrol the school grounds...

Both have vampires. Both are reverse H. One girl and many potential guys at first. Both series have agressive vampires. VK and DL have a certain mystery to the plots as well.
Becasue they both involve vampres who are both after the same girl and they will do anything to try and get her. Also becasue the plot of both animes are quite similar to each other.
Each anime is a reverse harem where the males are all vampires, and who chase after a human female. Both contain pretty aggressive males and have a hint of mystery about their plots.
When the heroine regains consciousness in an unfamiliar place, she has suddenly lost all memories of everything that happened before August 1. What is this place, and what was she doing there? Who is she, and what sort of life had she lived?

Both anime have been adapted from otome visual novels, and subsequently aimed at women. Each show has fairly similar character designs, with that classic "sexy bishounen" look being common place. Reverse-harem traits are in both too. The main girl of each series also have their similarities.
Both series are absolutely terrible as well, which is their biggest similarity if you ask me...
Both series feature bishounen Final Fatasy rejects attempting to woo, a bland female protagonist. The guys each take their turn with the doormat protagonist insisting that she belongs to them. The guys are controlling when they're not being outright abusive.
In Amnesia there's bits of an interesing plot between the girl dating her bishounen suitors, whereas in Lovers she's actually locked in with her rapey harem with no hope of escape. But both series are aimed at the same kind audience so if you saw one and want more like it then watch the other.
If you ever feel like watchign a Otome adaptation where a bunch of guys compete for a girl's hear in sometimes abusive way, then look no further, these two represent each other almost perfectly. Charachter design and general feel are quite similar as well, so I gues that you'll probably like one if you liked another...
Yui Kusanagi discovers a mighty sword that transports her to another world. There, this ordinary high school girl finds herself face-to-face with the mighty Greek god Zeus, who has an unusual request: remain in the dimension he has created and attend a school of legendary proportions. Zeus acts as dean for a school of young, misguided gods. The bond between...

Both these anime are reverse harems where a group of impossibly pretty boys all go after the same girl.
If you found the agressive and violent assholes in Diabolik too much to stomach then you should check out Kamigami. None of the guys try to hurt the female lead or force themselves on her. Instead, they are an adorable fumbling lot that need to learn about interacting with other people.
The set up of the shows are different. Diabolik is about a group fo vampire guys making a human girl their play thing. Kamigami is about a group of socially awkward gods that need to learn about humanity through interacting with the female lead. Both shows follow the same formula of each episode being mostly dedicated to one of the guys, but in Kamigami the guys treat her like she's a human being instead of an object to be used.
If you were unfortunate enough to see Diabolik Lovers, but still want to watch another reverse harem them do check out Kamigami.
Both of this anime is very good. Diabolik Lovers is more about the Vampire life and mystery. It is also more unanswered questions in Diabolik Lovers than Kamigami no Asobi. In Kamigami no Asobi are there more a history about then Diabolik Lovers and in it you understands the meaning of the anime, so this two anime is very good an a like but also completely different. I love this to anime but it is not the best anime I have seen, I love them. <3
Both anime have an element of the fantastical. They both are reverse harem. Both of them have female leads that are more towards the dependant side.
...I'll say it this way, if you liked one of them you are sure to like the other.

I came home from dinner one evening and found my dog lying on the kitchen floor. She couldn't get up. After I helped her up, she couldn't walk.
My dog was old. Her back legs had been weakening for months. She couldn't see or hear much, was experiencing dementia, and was showing clear evidence of pain.
I had been preparing myself for the difficult decision I would have to make some day. Did I say difficult? Heart wrenching.
Our pets are so lucky. When they are too sick or too infirm and their lives are mostly suffering, we can arrange for them to die peacefully, painlessly and almost instantly, with the help of a compassionate veterinarian and some drugs. It's been said this is the most loving thing we can do for our beloved pets.
So I'll point out a truth you might have heard a hundred times. In this most crucial matter, we can be kinder to our dogs and cats than we are allowed to be to our own families. New Mexico law does not allow us to help each other to die in peace.

The Los Alamos Friends of the Shelter are doing something this Valentine's Day for those other companions who give love unconditionally – our dogs and cats.
The group will have a gift basket raffle 3 p.m. Valentine's Day at Pet Pangaea in Los Alamos. The Friends have put together two gift baskets, one for dogs and one for cats.
Both baskets are stocked with all sorts of books, treats and toys that both owners and pets will like. Pet Pangaea owner Cyndi Wells has sweetened the pot for the lucky winners of the raffle by donating two $100 gift cards, one for each basket.
The fundraiser is a first time Valentine's Day event for the Friends, and funds raised will go toward specifically helping the Friends with their spay/neuter program and their pet care program. The Friends sponsor spay/neuter programs all over the state and help out when either homeless animals or owned animals are hit with a catastrophic illness or injury.
"If they have a loving home but the pet owner cannot pay the vet bills, we help pay for those so the animal does not have to be euthanized and can recover so it can go back to its home," said LAFOS member Wendee Brunish.
The senior centers in White Rock and Los Alamos are places for people to gather, engage in activities and get to know new people. Sometimes those new friendships lead to marriage.
Cathy and Charles Knoop were both volunteers for Los Alamos Retired & Senior Organization's when they met.
Charles wanted to continue helping people after retiring from a job serving low income people in Española, so he volunteered as a driver. He was also throwing himself into as many activities as he could after his wife of 28 years died in 2011.
When the couple met in Oct. 2015, Charles had started looking for someone again, trying eHarmony without success.
"I didn't expect to have someone who could love me again," Charles said. "I prayed a lot to God to bring a delightful person into my life, and one who would love music, love playing and love God and could love me."
Cathy retired from teaching at Chamisa Elementary in 2010. She had been teaching there since moving to Los Alamos in 2003.
Cathy began volunteering at the Betty Ehart Senior Center when her daughter Sarah Chandler, assistant coordinator for the Los Alamos Volunteer Association, asked her to man the desk in the downstairs reception area.
Los Alamos County Deputy County Manager Brian Bosshardt will reach a personal goal of his when he leaves Los Alamos County in about two months to take over as city manager for Bedford, Texas.
"It's been my career goal ever since leaving graduate school to make it to the city manager's chair at some point, and it seemed like the right time," Bosshardt said.
When he came to Los Alamos in 2010, he served as assistant to the county administrator before being made deputy county manager in 2012.
Professionally, he said what attracted him to New Mexico was the work he'd be doing here.
"When I got here the county council had very much a regional focus, wanting to work with the other communities in the regions, to assist, that's been a large part of my job," Bosshardt said.
He also liked the area for its beauty and the friends he's made the short time he's been here.
"Not having spent a lot of time here, getting to know the people here. I have truly enjoyed my time here in northern New Mexico," Bosshardt said. "It's somewhat bittersweet in respect to leaving the area, leaving my coworkers, but (County Manager) Harry Burgess has compiled a wonderful team here."
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A new mobile app is putting New Mexico's cultural and historical sites at the fingertips of smartphone users.
The New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs recently released the Cultural Atlas of New Mexico app that allows users to explore landmarks, parks and public art around the state.
It was developed with the help of Highlands University media arts graduate student Matthew Gallegos.
The Cultural Atlas of New Mexico app has more than 800 photos, a New Mexico map integrated with the user's phone-mapping software, and written highlights of the sites.
The app is available as a free download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
EDGEWOOD (AP) — The New Mexico Department of Health says it's discovered plague in three dogs in the East Mountains.
The department says in a news release that the dogs were several miles from Edgewood and were confirmed to have plague this year.
Plague is a bacterial disease that can be fatal but in most cases causes fever, chills, headache and weakness.
It can be passed from animals to people by direct contact.
New Mexico saw four human plague cases in 2016, although nobody died. There were also four cases in 2015, but one resulted in death.
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Residents say the world's first atomic bomb test caused generations of southern New Mexico families to suffer from cancer and economic hardship, according to surveys gathered by an advocacy group seeking compensation for descendants.
The surveys released Friday detailed residents' stories from areas around the 1945 Trinity Test and argue that many Hispanic families later struggled to keep up with cancer-related illnesses. The health effects of the test have long been debated in New Mexico.
"It's the first ever study done on the Tularosa Downwinders," said Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. "We wanted people to tell their stories in the fashion because it's never been done before."
Members of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium have long contended that those living near the site of the world's first atomic bomb test in 1945 weren't told about the dangers or compensated for their resulting health problems.
Since then, they say, descendants have been plagued with cancer and other illnesses while the federal government ignored their plight.
Damages from the 2011 Las Conchas Fire still poses a problem for Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.
Most recently, a damaged tree broke and struck the Mother Lift, which provides access to Pajarito's expert-level runs. The Mother Lift was closed for a month, as mountain officials were cautious about fixing the lift due to height restraints and snowfall that hit the mountain.
"It made a challenging project for us to do," Pajarito general manager Tom Long said. "The project was 32 feet in the air and everything to do the work was heavy. I didn't feel comfortable putting my staff up 32 feet in the air during a snowstorm. So we had to pick and choose when we were going to work on it. But we were able to fix the problem."
After completing successful test runs Wednesday and Thursday, the Mother Lift began to operate normally Friday.
Despite being almost six years since the Las Conchas Fire burned thousands of acres at Pajarito Mountain, the ski hill still battles with the aftermath, especially when it comes to aesthetics and grooming of the mountain.

Swimming With Sharks
One of Andrew Sullivan's readers writes about the antics of congressional Republicans during Obama's speech last night:
Yes, the GOP of 2009 is the party of torture and fiscal recklessness. But as Joe Wilson's outburst last night made clear, it is every bit as much the party of the College Republicans.
....Juvenile, manipulative, impossibly smarmy, hateful — or at least more than willing to use the weapon of other people's hate — and, above all, relentlessly cynical. To these (mostly) men, politics is not the "art of the possible", not a means for peaceably grappling with the most difficult and complex issues of the day, or for attempting to improve the lives of people you will never meet. It is nothing but a game, one where the object is not just to win but to destroy your enemies with a weird mix of angry slander and junior high insults — and to have a good chuckle while admiring your handiwork.
"Swimming With Sharks," Frank Foer's 2005 article about the College Republicans, is one of the best political pieces I've ever read. If you didn't see it back when it came out, do yourself a favor and read it now.

Comments: I've used this mattress pad for the past year on my new memory foam mattress on a platform bed with absolutely great results. Memory foam mattresses are known to sleep warm, and this is the perfect mattress pad due to the material (tencel) and the tight tufting. It actually slips over the entire mattress and zips up, which makes it difficult to clean frequently but since you'll have your normal bedding on top it shouldn't require frequent cleaning - perhaps only once a year or so. Best of all - it helps regular heat when you're using your ultra comfortable memory foam mattress.

Comments: This is not rocket science. Good lightweight mattress pad. If you are looking for a thicker pad to improve the comfort of your bed, this is not it. It is mostly to protect your mattress from absorbing dirt, sweat etc. And it does this job just fine. I like the extra depth.

On Sep 7, 2011
Comments: Another reviewer claimed that this mattress pad zips over the mattress entirely -- it does not. It has elastic around all sides and fits securely over my R&B latex mattress, but it does not cover the bottom of the mattress, nor are there zippers involved. The pad seems to stay in place reasonably well, isn't too horribly difficult to put on and off and has come through a few machine washes and dries with no noticeable shrinkage or shape change. There's nothing particularly special about this mattress pad, but it does the job fine.

Comments: Meh, I'm not overly impressed with this mattress pad. For the price (more than I would've spent elsewhere), the quilted pattern is much too thick and can be seen through our sheets. Looks a bit funny. As far as the size, it fits the mattress from R&B perfectly, and it doesn't appear to make the bed too hot or bulky. It's definitely soft and cushy, I'm just not sure it's worth the higher cost, and I don't like how much you see the pattern through the sheets, changes the whole look of the bed.
