Brookline bids farewell to a valuable man
According to Town Administrator Tad Putney, the town knew that Russ Heinselman had provided a tremendous service to the town for nearly 20 years, volunteering to take care of the computers and networks in Town Hall, the ambulance facility, the fire station and the library.
"He's been doing the updating, the trouble shooting, even purchasing new equipment for years," said Putney, "and he's been doing it in that true Yankee spirit of working frugally without sacrificing efficiency."
But the town didn't realize just how much Heinselman had saved them in IT costs over the years until he announced that he and his wife were downsizing and moving out of town.
"We decided we need to find a service provider to do the work Russ had been doing," Putney said, "and it turns out it's going to cost us around $35,000 a year for the same service Russ has been doing for free. Sometimes you don't know how valuable someone has really been until he has to leave."
Putney said the town doesn't want Heinselman to go away not knowing how important he's been to Brookline, so on Monday night, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., the board of selectmen will be hosting an open house at Town Hall to thank Heinselman for his years of dedication and service.
"We're inviting residents in to thank him, to honor him, and to wish Russ and his wife, Barbara, well in the next stage of their lives," said Putney.
The open house will also be shown on the town's community television station so that folks across town can be part of honoring Heinselman.

The Roles of Unlicensed Office Assistants and Licensed Nurses In A Physician's Office Practice
Assisting Clients with Self-Administration of Medications: the Role of Unlicensed Assistive Personel
Assisting the client with self-administration of medications may be delegated by the licensed nurse to appropriately trained unlicensed personnel and in accordance with the established plan of care only when:
(1) assistance takes place in the client's place of residence* or in a day program in which the client's health care is incidental to the personal care required; (2) the medication is prescribed by a physician or other person authorized by state law to prescribe and taken on a routine basis; (3) the client requires physical and/or verbal assistance due to a disability or health impairment which prevents total independence in this act; (4) the client, his/her significant other, or the registered nurse planning the care maintains ultimate responsibility for administration of the medication(s); and (5) the client or significant other agrees in writing to the established plan of care for assistance with self-administration of medications; and when applicable, agrees in writing to accept ultimate responsibility for the medication administration.
*NOTE: Place of residence may be a private home, multi-unit independent living setting or community residential care setting.
Consistent with 21 NCAC 36.0221 (b) and the established plan of care, delegation of assistance with self-administration of medications to unlicensed personnel is limited toone or more of the following activities:
(1) reminding the client to take the medication through verbal suggestion, prompting and/or gesturing; (2) handing a prefilled labeled medication holder, labeled unit dose container, or syringe; or handing an original marked labeled container to the client**; (3) assisting with the removal of a medication from a container; (4) breaking a tablet, crushing a tablet and, if necessary, mixing a medication in water or a food product; (5) guiding the hand of the client to self-administer the medication; and (6) observing the client take the medication.
**NOTE: Prefilling and labeling must be done by the licensed nurse or client's significant other and marked with client's name and time of dose. Prefilling and labeling may not be performed by the unlicensed assistant.
As with all client care services, those medication administration activities which require the judgment and decision-making of a licensed nurse must be provided by the appropriately qualified licensed nurse. The registered nurse who plans and coordinates medication-assisted activities maintains accountability for both the care provided by self and by other licensed and unlicensed assistive personnel to whom care activities are delegated.
Adopted 1/95
As per Administrative Rule 21 NCAC 36.0221 (c):
"A license to practice nursing is required for implementing any treatment and pharmaceutical regimen which is likely to produce side or toxic effects, allergic reactions, or other unusual effects or which may rapidly endanger a client's life or well being and which is prescribed by a person authorized by state law to prescribe such a regimen."
Paragraph (b) of this same rule outlines the five criteria which must be met in order for a nursing function to be appropriately delegated by a licensed nurse to unlicensed personnel. Such tasks must:
1. frequently recur in the daily care of a client or group of clients; 2. are performed according to an established sequence of steps; 3. involve little or no modification from one client-care situation to another; 4. may be performed with a predictable outcome; and 5. do not inherently involve ongoing assessments, interpretations, or decision-making which cannot be logically separated from the procedure itself.
1. frequently recur in the daily care of a client or group of clients;
2. are performed according to an established sequence of steps;
3. involve little or no modification from one client-care situation to another;
4. may be performed with a predictable outcome; and
5. do not inherently involve ongoing assessments, interpretations, or decision-making which cannot be logically separated from the procedure itself.
Client-care services which do not meet all of these criteria must be performed by a duly licensed nurse..."
In an office practice setting where both licensed and unlicensed personnel may be involved in patient care activities, unlicensed personnel who are accountable to and supervised by the licensed nurse may not be delegated any tasks with unpredictable outcomes or which require the judgment of a licensed nurse. Therefore, the licensed nurse may not delegate activities, such as medication administration, teaching and counseling of clients, to unlicensed personnel.
However, if the physician has total responsibility/accountability for the role of a medical office assistant including training, validation of competencies, delegation, supervision and evaluation, the nursing laws and standards do not apply to this physician-assistant relationship.
The licensed nurse is legally accountable for the care which he/she provides to clients as well as for care delegated to other licensed or unlicensed nursing personnel, all of which must be carried out within the legal framework for nursing practice. Refer to the Administrative Components of Nursing Practice and the proposed 21 NCAC 36.0224 Components of Nursing Practice for the Registered Nurse and .0225 Components of Practice for the Licensed Practical Nurse which define the legal scope of practice for each level of licensed nurse.
Further information regarding the legal scope of practice for licensed nurses and unlicensed personnel who perform nursing functions in office settings may be obtained by contacting a Practice Consultant at the Board office. (919) 782-3211

Crumb of hope over Pasty Tax
FLAKY George Osborne is looking at plans to soften the blow of his half-baked Pasty Tax.
The under-fire Chancellor is considering a Plan B put forward by MPs and bakery bosses that would leave some hot pies VAT free.
Under the proposal, only pastry snacks kept in hot cabinets would be taxed. Those taken out of the oven and left to cool would escape... even if they are bought while still warm.
Consultation on the hated Pasty Tax closes today and Mr Osborne will make a final decision within weeks.
In the strongest sign yet that plans could change, Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander said yesterday: "We will listen carefully to those ideas."
High street bakers are warning that the tax as it stands could trigger more than 2,000 job cuts.
Yesterday Mr Osborne made an embarrassing U-turn on another Budget stealth bombshell, the Church Tax.
He announced a £30million package to reimburse historic churches that will have to fork out 20 per cent VAT on alterations.

Interested in Joining the 'Cats?
The University of Cincinnati Bearcats hockey team is one of the fastest growing ACHA organizations in the midwest. In the 2008-2009 season the Bearcats had a record setting season of 20 wins and 5 losses in ACHA DIII. The Bearcats completed their first season in Division II hockey playing teams like Miami(OH), Ohio State University, University of Kentucky, University of West Virginia, Indiana University, University of Illinois, and University of Toledo to name a few, going 12-11-3 in the 2009-2010 campaign. Everyday we practice, we take the ice with a former NHL All Star Blaine Stoughton to become better hockey players and men.
The Bearcats intend to continue climbing the ranks of the ACHA and, within ten years become a NCAA program. The Bearcats are looking for strong, skilled and smart players so if you think this describes you contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and put your name, age, year at the school, position, perferred contact information and a resume of past teams and accomplishments. ACHA teams are self-funded with most teams getting at least some funding support from their schools.
All of our home games are called on either UStream or Bearcast Radio. We also make appearances on the Bearcast show The Five Minute Major, UC's all talk hockey show. You can go on and listen to a few of our games and our radio appearances. That could be YOU! Remember, while hockey is extremely important, we are "student athletes" first, so please be aware you do have to maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average, and may be subject to other academic requirements.

BIG ROMNEY DONOR meet-up, with the Los Angeles Times offering some priceless tidbits.
The line of Range Rovers, BMWs, Porsche roadsters and one gleaming cherry red Ferrari began queuing outside of Revlon Chairman Ronald Perelman's estate off Montauk Highway long before Romney arrived, as campaign aides and staffers in white polo shirts emblazoned with the logo of Perelman's property — the Creeks — checked off names under tight security.
[...] A money manager in a green Jeep said it was time for Romney to "up his game and be more reactive." So far, said the donor (who would not give his name because he said it would hurt his business), Romney has had a "very timid offense."
A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name, said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. "I don't think the common person is getting it," she said from the passenger seat of a Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. "Nobody understands why Obama is hurting them.
"We've got the message," she added. "But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies — everybody who's got the right to vote — they don't understand what's going on. I just think if you're lower income — one, you're not as educated, two, they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the systems work, they don't understand the impact."
Oh, people get how it works. The presidency is being bought. That's how "the systems work."
What wasn't reported is that the perception problem flew right over Team Romney's head.

Brand Evangelism is the difference between consumers following and consumers leading. Some consumers already act as though they "own" their favorite brands, finding it first nature to defend and promote the reputation of their brands. The difference between brand evangelism and "word-of-mouth marketing," is that the former is based on identity rather than just interaction. Not surprisingly, modern religious communities and movements can offer a lot of lessons on the social psychology tactics that can be effectively utilized to create a close-knit community between all stakeholders of a brand. Some of the most important breakthroughs in brand evangelism are the successful and sustainable creation of shared devotion, sense of purpose, and a clear and urgent call to action.

Last week was an important week for the Akaza Team members Niki and Ivo, because their teachers from Maastricht were visiting Barcelona and Akaza. This meant that Niki and Ivo's work in their first months with Akaza was evaluated and they got to hear how they are doing so far. So judgement day!!! Luckily for them everybody is very satisfied with their performences and Niki and Ivo are also very happy to work for Akaza. Their teachers' visit also included a dinner with them and other students from the Netherlands. As a location for this dinner the restaurant La Fonda on Calle Escudellers 10 near the Rambla was picked. It opens at 20.30h but people already start queeing around 8 o'clock because you can't make a reservation in advance at this family restaurant. However, once the restaurant is open the que runs very quickly. The restaurant is comparable with Quinze Nits on placa Reial. It has a nice interior with blank wood and palm trees, the staff is friendly and they serve delicious and affordable Catalan food in a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Niki's menu
Starter: Grilled Vegetables Niki's opinion: La Fonda is a nice restaurant and the food is really great compared to the price. However, what I have enjoyed most is that the restaurant offers the possibility to enjoy your meal with friends in a great atmosphere. It was fun to have dinner with the teachers and to meet them in another setting than a classroom. By the way, thank you very much Hogeschool Zuyd Maastricht for paying for the drinks (that explains the 1/2 liter Sangria). Ivo's menu:
Starter: Macaroni boloñesa Ivo's opinion: I also really liked the atmosphere in the restaurant and the food I had was delicious. I would recommend to always take a starter as well as a main dish as the main dish was not very much. Together with the starter however it's a more than complete and satisfying meal. The service was also very good and fast. It was nice to meet the other students from our university because although we all live close to the centre of Barcelona I didn't meet any of them yet. |

Reports and Surveys
IFRRO Study on Reproduction Rights Organisations in European Countries (June 2005)
To shed some light on how RROs are set up and operate in European countries, IFRRO carried out a Study on RROs in European Countries, that covers 25 RROs in 22 European countries of which 20 are EU Member States.
IFRRO New Technology Committee survey on Digital Uses (October 1999)
In 1992, the New Technologies Committee of IFRRO conducted a survey on the role that electronic rights management system might play in the delivery of the services to the clients of its member organisations. A questionnaire was circulated to gather information on the subject of electronic rights management (DRM). The aim of such a survey was to develop some kind of consensus amongst users around which existing services could be improved and new services developed. This included possible uses and terms and conditions of licenses to permit such uses.

Obama Campaign Names NJDC's Ira Forman to its Judenrat
Ira Forman's well-earned position as Obama's Kapo in Chief
by Bill Levinson
The National "Jewish" "Democratic" Council reported today that NJDC Chair Marc Stanley issued the following statement on the Obama Campaign's appointment of Ira Forman as its Jewish Outreach Director.
- On behalf of the National Jewish Democratic Council's Board and Staff, I am ecstatic that the Obama campaign has chosen Ira Forman to lead their outreach to the American Jewish community. I had the opportunity to work closely with Ira for a number of years when he served in his capacities as NJDC's Executive Director and CEO. I cannot think of anyone better suited to help the campaign reach Jewish voters. Ira's knowledge and understanding of the Jewish community is unsurpassed, and his passion for the Democratic Party's principles makes him a perfect fit for his new role.
Mr. Forman's commitment to the Democratic Party is amply proven by NJDC's shameless willingness to whitewash the country's most vicious anti-Semites as long as they identify themselves as Democrats. NJDC is a perfect fit for Barack Obama, who consorts personally with vicious Jew-haters and racists like Al Sharpton along with his racist pastor and the anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic hate group MoveOn.org.
Here, and it is still amazingly online, is where Ira Forman signed his name to a proven lie to whitewash MoveOn.org's welcome of hate speech against Jews (and Catholics, Evangelical Christians, and others) on a forum over which it exercised editorial control.
- Republican claims that progressive websites, such as MoveOn.org, are filled with anti-Semitism just isn't true. Indeed, of the tens of thousands of postings on MoveOn.org each week, there have been a very small number of anonymous anti-Semitic postings on the site. Critically, those postings were made in an open forum where non-members and members alike can post comments anonymously.
Counter to the editorial's assertion, the postings were taken down immediately by MoveOn officials and refuted immediately by members of the organization. In fact, the Anti-Defamation League letter of which Brooks speaks was written 17 days AFTER MoveOn had already removed the anonymous postings.
This is a proven lie because we personally harvested the following–and these are but a handful of examples–of the anti-Semitic postings AFTER MoveOn.org and NJDC said they were removed.
MoveOn.org Action Forum Talks about Jews
- (1) Israel is guilty of war crimes in their cowardely attack on Lebanon and the whining, arrogant Jew [Tom Lantos] wants Lebanon to demonstrate responsibility ! This is another example of how many Jews/Zioniosts in our Congress use the U.S. for their own greedy purposes. DUMP ISRAEL.
(2) If you are a Jew and want respect;
Denounce Israel's abuse and occupation of Palestinians for the last 50 yrs and stop spreading the lies you heard on Fox Israel News.
Condemn AIPACs manipulation of the US foreign policy.
Read and acknowledge the validity of the "Israeli Lobby" papers.
Until you do you'll just sound like the Bush administration defending their reasons for going to war.
If you just can't do it deny that you are Jewish.
Our parents abused some of us, some were drunks, some were divorced and some had Jewish parents. We don't have to hang on to our past.
(3) We can all see how AIPAC/Israel has taken control of America. Not to get nasty but jews have a long history of subverting governments for their own enrichment and glory to the detriment of whole societies. Many more than "6 million" have died by semetic aggression, 100′s of millions even,
Ira Forman then shamelessly whitewashes (1) the fact that MoveOn.org allowed this to be posted in the first place on a forum over which it exercised editorial control and (2) the fact, as proven by its mere presence after MoveOn said it had been removed, that MoveOn lied about removing it.
- [Ira Forman continues] Online communities, such as MoveOn.org, are open forums which not only preach free speech, but actually practice it. Jewish voters should take comfort in knowing that MoveOn.org is not a haven for anti-Semitism and the organization will renounce and remove any postings of the sort.
Here, by the way, is the answer we received from NJDC when we provided it with hard evidence that MoveOn.org had lied about not knowing about the hate speech and had lied about removing it (10/31/2006). NJDC's definition of spam, like its definition of anti-Semitism, seems to be fairly unique. Anti-Semitism is "anything a Republican says or does but nothing a Democrat says or does" while spam is any E-mail that contains facts that are at odds with NJDC's Ministry of Truth.
- You guys have been asked politiely before, and will be once again — please cease spamming us.
Thank you.
The Forward meanwhile reports that Ira Forman commissioned the anti-Christian hate video "Bubbie versus the GOP," in which Christians, Jesus, ministers, and the Cross are all portrayed in a "This is the Enemy" context. Here are some examples; note that, were the Star of David placed in the same context as the Cross, the cartoons would be unequivocally anti-Semitic. Ira Forman and NJDC are therefore responsible for material that, because it was published under color of Judaism, could easily be used by anti-Semites to propagate the image of "Jews as Christian-haters."
There is no doubt that an image of robed figures around a Star of David would have an anti-Semitic context, so the image above is an anti-Christian hate image.
This picture mocks Evangelical Christian beliefs in the Rapture, and ridicules Jesus. The next portrays a Christian minister in a "This is the Enemy" context. We recall in fact that it was Eric Yoffie of the Union of "American" "Hebrew" Congregations who said effectively at the Million Mom March in 2000 that a vote for Al Gore and gun control was a vote for God.
The National Judenrat Democratic Kapos go even further by whitewashing a group that accuses Israel of apartheid and illegal occupation of Arab lands.
- Today, the New Jersey Chapter of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) condemned State Senator Gerald Cardinale and his wife, Demarest Councilwoman Carole Cardinale for implying that political opponent Joseph Ariyan is soft on terror and anti-Semitism because his law partner is affiliated with a group which defends Arab-Americans from discrimination.
…In one particularly high profile – and saddening – example, State Senator Gerald Cardinale and his wife, Demarest City Councilwoman Carole Cardinale, have alleged that the Senator's Democratic opponent Joseph Ariyan is somehow soft on terror because Ariyan's law partner is affiliated with the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
Right, the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, which has this to say about Israel. What part of the domain name "adcnj.us" does NJDC not understand–or, more likely, want Jewish voters to overlook?
- There exists broad international consensus that that all Israeli settlements in the West Bank – including those in East Jerusalem – violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and are, therefore, illegal according to international law. Any sales of settlements are presumably illegal.
The illegality of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories has been affirmed by the UN Security Council in Resolution 465, the International Court of Justice, the world's highest legal body, in article 120 of its July 9, 2004 advisory opinion (http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/idocket/imwp/imwpframe.htm), and by several major human rights organizations worldwide. Not only did the US government repeatedly affirm this position throughout the 1970s and 1980s, but the Israeli Supreme Court has acknowledged de facto its validity by ruling that the West Bank and Gaza Strip are under "belligerent occupation" in 1979, 2002 and 2004.
Is "Kapo," a word for a Jew who collaborated with Jew-haters as a concentration camp trustee or Judas goat too strong a word for NJDC? The fact that NJDC whitewashed the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee whose own Web page, as shown above, shows exactly where it stands on Israel suggests that NJDC's own support for Israel (as a fellow free nation) consists of lip service and is invoked only to persuade credulous and ill-informed Jews to vote for people with Ds after their names, no matter how loathsome these individuals might be.

I know so many people who are serious about dating and looking for the "one". Very few are interested in playing the "games", but the games always seem to work their way …

Former Havre Blue Pony C.J. Evans will make his first collegiate start of his football career on Thursday night — and it will be a big one.
Evans, who transferred from Montana State University-Northern to Minot State University last spring, has been named the Beavers' starting quarterback for their season-opening game at Bemidji State on Thursday night. Evans originally signed with the Lights out of high school and redshirted last fall while the No. 3 quarterback at Northern. But with a pair of close friends already on the Minot football team and the likes of starter Derek Lear and Travis Dean ahead of him on the MSU-N depth chart Evans took his talents to Minot, and after a solid spring, he came into this fall in a hotly-contested quarterback race with two other young Beaver quarterbacks.
But Evans, who was Havre High's starting QB and an all-conference pick his senior year, has shined in fall camp, and late last week, MSU head coach Paul Rudolph named Evans the starter for the opener at Bemidji.
"I think he demonstrated that he did all the work (he needed to do), and knew his assignments. He then went out there and passed (the test)," Rudolph said.
"It's been like I said a competition all fall so it really was wide open until I feel like last night I played well (MSU's scrimmage) and so hopefully I got the job now, hopefully I can keep it," Evans told a Minot TV station last week.
With the Beavers, Evans will be the starting QB for a program moving up to NCAA Division II. Minot has been an NAIA power over the last few decades, but the Beavers are now a DII playing in a tough Midwestern Conference. But Evans should be comfortable as the Beavers' starter, especially playing alongside a pair of former Havre High buddies. The Beavers also have former Blue Pony Nate Christianson as a sophomore receiver working his way up the depth chart, while Evans' cousin and another good friend, Mike Hickman also plays defensive back for MSU. The three were good friends in high school, and Hick man and Christianson were a huge reason why Evans decided to transfer to Minot.
And now, with the three of them together, Evans is thriving and he'll get his first taste of live college football on Thursday night in Bemidji, Minn. The Beavers are playing a transitional schedule this season which still includes some former DAC rivals. MSU will also play Big Sky Conference power Montana State Sept. 17 in Bozeman.

— Wendy Crutcher, Superlibrarian
AVAILABLE NOW Available October 1, 2011 on eHarlequin.com Buy at Barnes&Noble
SUMMER/FALL 2012 As I write this, my kids and I – and a good chunk of the extended family! – are about to head out for my oldest son's wedding to a lovely young woman I couldn't be prouder to call "daughter." My first experience as Mother of the Bride…and, with four more sons to follow, probably not my last! Since I love all things bridal – SAY YES TO THE DRESS, anyone? – it was great fun to help my new daughter-in-law shop for her beautiful wedding gown. And I fully expect to shed some tears during the ceremony. After all, there's a reason I write romance! And have I got a new series for you – SUMMER SISTERS, my new Special Edition miniseries set on the Chesapeake Bay, focusing on three cousins who spent their childhood summers with their grandmother in her wonderful old Victorian-era beach house. Now the gals have inherited the house, reuniting them for the first time in ten years. While trying to decide what to do with the old place, love comes a'calling for all three. Except each woman has a secret that could seriously derail them on their journeys to Happy Ever After! First up, in September 2012 (August on eHarlequin.com), is THE DOCTOR'S DO-OVER. From the moment four-year-old Ryder Caldwell laid eyes on his parents' housekeeper's tiny baby girl, he was a goner, determined to protect the little girl forever. But as childhood melted into adolescence, so did those protective feelings, forcing Ryder to end their relationship before they made a mistake. But how could he have predicted that his rejection would send Melanie Duncan running into his brother's arms? Now, ten years later, Mel has come home-and she's not alone. She was always the woman Ryder couldn't forget-and now she's accompanied by the child he hadn't known existed. And suddenly the good doctor can see everything he's been searching his whole life to find...right in his own backyard.... Then, in November (October on eHarlequin.com), look for A GIFT FOR ALL SEASONS. Emotionally and physically scarred from his service in the Iraq War, Patrick Shaughnessy is a true hero – especially to the toddler daughter he barely knew before his wife walked out on them both. And learning how to be the dad Lilianna needs him to be means there's no time or energy for romance – especially in the form of cute-as-a-button April Ross, his new landscaping client. But the recent widow's heart is far bigger than her shoe size, and exactly what both Patrick and his hurting little girl need to heal theirs…if only Patrick finds the courage to accept April's game-changing gift. The series ends in February 2013 (January on eHarlequin) with THE MARRIAGE CAMPAIGN. For nearly two years, Congressman Wes Phillips has struggled to balance his new responsibilities with being there for his eleven-year-old son, still grieving after his mother's death three weeks before his Wes's election. But will hiring the generous-spirited Blythe Broussard to update Jack's "little boy" bedroom help Jack let go of the past…or only further muddle the present when Wes realizes that not only is he falling in love with his decorator, but that Blythe's past could seriously jeopardize both Wes's and Jack's future… "Like" me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter – the best way to keep track of release dates and titles, and whatever else pops into my head at any given moment. Happy reading! —Karen |

Some of my authors have begun tweeting about their writing progress. Perhaps they are unaware that I can use this new tool to spy on them as their deadlines approach. Those who are going to be on time have nothing to fear. It's those who are twitching and moaning about being late, o so late, I can't help it, it's my neuralgia / unfaithful boyfriend / deadline for another publisher / inability to stop rewriting / addiction to WOW that's getting in my way of finishing. And wasn't "Lost" great last night?
To these authors I say: You'll have something to tweet about if I catch you.
But I got a big laugh out of John Birmingham's recent messages. Read all together like this, they give the impression he's been drinking heavily, but the last tweet contradicts that. He's in the throes of finishing the sequel to Without Warning, the apocalyptic SF thriller that postulates what would happen to the rest of the world if the U.S. were essentially wiped off the map. [Answer: Nothing Good.]
Anyway, here's how the sequel is coming along:
Very gruesome scene coming up. It involves sledgehammers.
Haaaaaar!!!!! Smashed thru the last eight hundred words & carried on for another three. Five thousand words for the day. This IS SPARTA!!!!!
Just fired off another chapter of the book. A cowboy story. Now back to the sexy assassin!

I went to Seattles Museum of History and Industry ready to hate it. I figured it would be a bunch of were-Seattle-and-aint-we-great displays. Whats in it for a Tacoman?
A lot, it turns out.
For 60 years, MOHAI was in a virtually undisclosed location in Seattles Montlake neighborhood on the fringes of the University of Washington. When the Highway 520 reconstruction project was slated to put a fast lane through the building, officials figured it was time to find a new home.
In late December, the new MOHAI opened in the 50,000-square-foot old Naval Reserve Building at Lake Union Park. To be sure, this is a Seattle-centric museum, but it doesnt dwell on the minute details of Seattles history. Rather, it focuses on its grander themes and attributes. All of them will be familiar to any Puget Sounder. Be it industry (Boeing), sports (Seahawks) or culture (Nirvana) all of them have influenced the entire region.
The grand atrium of the building uses the full height of the four-story building. Its a soaring space with Lincoln Towings iconic pink toe truck, a U.S. Mail plane, a Rainier Brewing Company neon R, and the hydroplane Slo-mo-shun IV.
Theres art here, too. The atrium holds a sculpture that has become one with the building. Hull-shaped Wawona by John Grade soars from the water (the MOHAI building is built on pilings over Lake Union) up to the roof. Its carved of reclaimed wood from the 1896 schooner of the same name.
The museum has been a hit with visitors. About 40,000 people attended in January the annual total number of visitors the old location received, said Leonard Garfield, MOHAIs executive director. The new building offers about twice the exhibition space because much of the administration, storage and work areas were moved to a location in Georgetown. Though the museum retains industry in its name, its more about history, Garfield said. He acknowledges its Seattle-centric, but the museum strives to be inclusive of the entire Puget Sound.
When you draw that circle (around central Puget Sound), Seattle is in the center. But Tacoma is part of that history, Garfield said.
The museum is much more interactive than the previous one. Displays engage visitors in a variety of creative ways. One exhibit allows visitors to create their own video game. Another teaches wannabe linguists how to speak Chinook jargon. You can play the part of the accuser or the accused in an exhibit on the Canwell Commission, the states 1948 hearing on un-American activities.
Native peoples are well-represented with maps, language and artifacts. Other displays cover the Oregon Trail (a popular route for pioneers coming west to the region) and the Klondike Gold Rush in which Seattle played a crucial role.
One display holds the control panel of the plexiglass elevator known as the Bubbleator that I remember riding at the Seattle Center as kid in the 1970s plus the operators spaceman-like silver suit. It was a leftover from the 1962 Worlds Fair.
Industry still has its place in the museum from a historical perspective. Shipping, logging, Black Diamond coal mining, railroads, Microsoft, Amazon all are on display.
Museums tend to write dry, academic text panels for exhibitions. MOHAIs are breezy and entertaining. Also entertaining is a fire theater that tells of the great Seattle fire through a Gilbert and Sullivan-style opera recorded for MOHAI.
In the maritime center, windows in the old armory building look out onto Lake Union and historic ships. A submarines periscope allows 360-degree views of the area. Theres natural history here, too. A crushed van is testimony to the destruction from the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake.
Garfield promises exhibits will change periodically if only to preserve artifacts. MOHAI also has temporary installations.
Opening with the new museum is Celluloid Seattle, curated by film critic Robert Horton. Its a lot of space that primarily serves to remind us of all the film and TV shot in our area. But, it is a mind-boggling number of shows both made or set here, some Ive never heard of.
I made a mental note to look on Netflix for a 1974 John Wayne cop movie, McQ, and a so-bad-its-hilarious 1976 film, Scorchy, starring Connie Stevens as an undercover Seattle narc.
Tacoma is well-represented in a way. The 1933 film Tugboat Annie was based on Tacomas Thea Foss but set in a city called Secoma. The exhibit displays clips of filmed-in-Tacoma but set-in-Seattle movies such as 1992s The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and 1999s 10 Things I Hate About You.
Then I discovered a green screen and video camera. By pushing a few buttons, a visitor can make a short live movie using various background images. A sasquatch costume would come in handy for the forest scene.
Yes, MOHAI is a bit like attending a party where the host constantly tells you how great he is. But give the guy his due he is pretty cool.

Three years ago, I set out with my co-founder, Dan Leahy, to start a company that would inspire restaurant owners to embrace technology in new ways. A company that would show these small business owners that technology can benefit their bottom line while enhancing the experience of their diners. To date, we have partnered with over 1,000 of the nation's leading restaurants in this effort, and we are honored to service these restaurateurs who work tirelessly every day to make dining a fun, affordable and unforgettable experience.
The value that we have created in the restaurant industry is clear. Just ask any one of the many restaurateurs that has seen their bottom line increase by 50% since joining Savored about the impact we are having. Or ask any of the many diners who now celebrates out with friends and family more often. It is with these people in mind that we are eager to introduce Savored to a larger audience. And for that reason, I could not be more proud to announce today that Savored has been acquired by Groupon.
Together, Groupon and Savored will be able to deliver even more exceptional dining experiences to consumers while continuing to focus on restaurant profitability. The Savored product will remain sophisticated and elegant, enabling diners to make reservations at the very best restaurants and receive discounts of up to 40% seamlessly taken off their bill. Our commitment to style remains unwavering. Our innovative and unique dynamic pricing model will remain the crux of our value proposition, and the entire team at both Groupon and Savored cannot wait to deliver this value to even more diners and restaurants alike.
There are too many people that deserve recognition for building Savored to where it is today to do true justice in this post, but here's a start: to every diner who trusted Savored enough to make a reservation and dine, to every restaurant who believed in our vision and signed up for the ride, to the Savored team that still wakes up every morning reading customer comments and goes to bed at night thinking about the number of covers we seated that day, to our investors who backed us through good times and bad, and most importantly, to my co-founder Dan, and early employees Julien Vernet and Chris Watson without whom Savored would not have been born, I thank you all very much for your contributions and support.
Now we get back to work – we hope you'll take another bite and join us for the journey!

Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
Album Details
- Artist: Gojira
- Album: From Mars To Sirius
- Label: Listenable Records
- Year of Release: 2006

Gojira are HEAVY. Despite comparisons to Mastadon and Meshuggah, they lead the pack in the sludge race. There seems to be a loose concept to this record, and Gojira are known for their environmentalism and rage at the abuses heaped on the earth, but there is no preaching here. Just metal at its best: dramatic drumming, gorilla (or godzilla)-sized riffs, dead serious growling vocals. Their political concerns are most explicit on "Ocean Planet," " Global Warming" and "Flying Whales", while they are content to just kick out the jams on "Backbone," "From the Sky" and "The Heaviest Matter of the Universe." That last tune just might be one of the most appropriately titles track in ages. More quiet, broody tunes like "From Mars" are still heavy and draining. While the vocals may fall short at times, more fitting for a flyer than for a song, you can't deny their genuine concern for the world, nor their ability to rave on with overwhelming power.

Two words: Space Whales.
Once again: SPACE WHALES.
While you're wrapping your tiny head around that concept (okay, maybe not, as we've all probably seen Star Trek IV...), understand this: Gojira is METAL. Unapologetic, no-holds-barred neck-breaking euphoria. Lock up your wives and children, as I will not be held responsible for what happens should you choose to play this album for the unprepared.
Although I'm taking a couple points off because they have a song called 'Unicorn'. I've said this many, many times: unicorns have no place in metal. It's just WRONG.
