A Message from President, Pat Derer - February 2013
Dear Friends,
The theme of this issue is to send our heartfelt sympathy to the families that have lost loved ones last year. . . every loss to suicide is tragic but when we lose young people it is especially hard. We lost three very special young people that had so much living to do.
I wish to thank the families of Daniel and Kay Debraal and Kurt and Sheri Chambers for memorials donated to HOPES in honor of their sons, Kevin and Dylan. Other families that continue to hold events each year and donate funds to HOPES in honor of their family members are Don Harris and Frank Kutz. This year we also received funds for a bowling event to honor Maria Knickmeier who lost her life and was honored by her family and fellow workers. We were pleased that they were able to come to the HOPES walk to honor their loved ones and find a little peace.
We will be using these funds to go into schools to provide QPR Trainings. We have trained over 4,000 people in 3 years, which we do without a fee. We also are into our year long radio campaign to reach teens and adults with the message of hope and providing resources for finding help. Campaign ads can be heard on Magic 98.1 with Delilah for adults and Jamz 96.3 for teens. I hope you can hear them sometime while listening to these stations.
We also were pleased to sponsor International Survivor Day collaborating with Journey Mental Health Center. It is a day that we can acknowledge our loss and try to heal some of our pain. It is a safe place where you don't have to explain your feelings because we all understand.
I would like to end with a quote that is our mission and we know to be true:
To the world, you may be one person.
But to one person you may be the world.
We never know who we may touch to make a difference.
Please save the date for our walk May 4, 2013. Registration form is inside this issue or online at www.hopes-wi.org. All pre- registered individuals will have their names put in for our drawing for free prizes.

It's about home protection. If you are a single mom or dad and can't afford a shotgun, we'll give one to you.Tucson resident Shaun McClusky • Discussing his work with the Armed Citizen Project, a program whose goal is to hand out guns to people in working-class neighborhoods in cities around the country, including Tucson, which had a major shooting just two years ago. (Yes, they do background checks before handing them out.) The approach, understandably, has drawn controversy, along with a response from a local activist in Tucson, who launched a competing endeavor called the School Supply Giveaway campaign.
At least three people were shot and wounded when gunfire erupted at a business complex in Phoenix on Wednesday, and authorities were combing the area for the suspected gunman, police said on Wednesday.
Phoenix Police spokesman James Holmes said the people who were shot were taken from the scene to a local hospital, and there was no immediate word on their condition.
While police continue to look for the suspect, law enforcement officials have confirmed that there were no deaths as a result of today's shooting. The timing of today's attack will likely be dissected at great length in the days ahead, with the shooting occurring at roughly the same time that former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords testified before the Senate on gun violence.
Update: There are now 5 confirmed injuries from the attack, three of which were life-threatening for the victims, though none of the victims have died at this time.
If you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority. You have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.An ad taken out by the Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Arizona • Finally drawing, from the pro-gun side, a clear line on when you're not responsible enough to wield your 2nd Amendment rights — the moment you voted for Barack Obama. The store's owner, Cope Reynolds, realizes it's an easy rule to duck (just don't mention Obama) but he'll stand his ground if anybody comes clean: "…if they own up to it, we will not serve them. This goes way beyond gun control, which many think is why we did this. I should have as much right to post a sign on my door as those that post 'No Guns' on their doors. source
You tried to create for all of us a world as dark and evil as your own. But know this, and remember it always: You failed.Gabby Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, to Jared Loughner. The 24-year-old Loughner has been given 7 life sentences and 140 years in prison for killing 6 and injuring 13 in a shooting rampage last year. Giffords was shot in the head but survived; Loughner pled guilty three months ago to 19 federal charges and has no possibility of parole. source
When local activist groups challenged Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton to live on a food stamp budget for a week to mark Hunger Awareness Month, he took them up on the offer and found out just how hard it was. Stanton kept a diary on the challenge, which allotted him roughly $29 a week, the same amount 1.1 million Arizonans receive from the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) each week.
It's always worthwhile to, as the old saying goes, "walk a mile in someone else's shoes."
We don't speak for all of the victims or their families, but Gabby and I are satisfied with this plea agreement….Avoiding a trial will allow us — and we hope the whole Southern Arizona community — to continue with our recovery and move forward with our lives.Astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords • Confirming that his family supports the plea deal between Jared Lee Loughner and prosecutors that will reportedly see the alleged spend life in prison, but avoid any chance of receiving the death penalty. Loughner was declared mentally fit to stand trial in a hearing on Tuesday, after which he pleaded guilty. source (via • follow)
It is not clear at this stage and on this record that §2(B), in practice, will require state officers to delay the release of detainees for no reason other than to verify their immigration status. This would raise constitutional concerns. And it would disrupt the federal framework to put state officers in the position of holding aliens in custody for possible unlawful presence without federal direction and supervision. But §2(B) could be read to avoid these concerns. If the law only requires state officers to conduct a status check during the course of an authorized, lawful detention or after a detainee has been released, the provision would likely survive preemption—at least absent some showing that it has other consequences that are adverse to federal law and its objectives. Without the benefit of a definitive interpretation from the state courts, it would be inappropriate to assume §2(B) will be construed in a way that conflicts with federal law.
Translation: Police can still ask to see your proof of U.S. residency.
EDIT: But as Think Progress notes, this decision leaves room for this portion of the case to be decided more definitively later. If there is evidence that this is being used for racial profiling, it's possible it could get struck down later.

Breaking the Bank in El Calafate
In 1990, when I first visited the Patagonian town of El Calafate, tourists were still a relative novelty. Seven years earlier, Argentina had emerged from the Southern Cone's nastiest 1970s military dictatorship, but the gateway to the Moreno Glacier was still barely a blip on the international travel map. In the process of writing my initial guidebook to Argentina, for a publisher best left unmentioned, I castigated the town as "an oversized encampment of rapacious merchants fixated on making a year's income in a few short months by maintaining high prices rather than increasing sales."
One reason for that comment was the difficulty, and disadvantages, of changing money here. At that time, Argentina's currency was the austral and, after years of hyper-inflation, the exchange rate had reached 10,000 to the US dollar. The only place to change money officially was the Banco de la Provincia de Santa Cruz and, after it closed on Friday afternoon, local shops were the only option. There you were lucky to get 9,000 or even 8,500 per dollar, with local merchants reaping a tidy profit at the bank on Monday morning.
The very concept of globalization has taken a hit over the past few months, but one undeniable advantage has been the proliferation of the ATM, which has liberated visitors from the need to visit banks or exchange houses during opening hours, and to go through the laborious process of changing travelers' checks (a few people still do so). Today, El Calafate has four banks and half a dozen ATMs, and that's helped make it a more welcoming place (so has the new airport, and a critical mass of quality accommodations and restaurants). Immigrants from elsewhere in Argentina have given it a youthful vitality.
But changing money is still a problem, if not in the way it once was. In fact, it's an Argentine problem: following a high-profile "express kidnapping" in which the victim - opposition politician Margarita Stolbizer - was forced to attempt to withdraw money from her account at various ATMs in Buenos Aires province, authorities have placed a withdrawal limit of 300 pesos (about US$85) at cash machines throughout the country. In a town like El Calafate, where there is no crime problem whatsoever and it's easy to spend that much daily, this has meant long lines at ATMs and, on weekends, they often run out of cash until Monday morning.
According to Hostel del Glaciar owner Danny Feldman, who's vice-president of El Calafate's Chamber of Commerce and would like to see the policy changed, customers can withdraw money up to three times per day, even consecutively. Still, that slows down the process and keeps the lines long - especially as foreign visitors make multiple efforts before finally realizing they can't take more than 300 pesos per transaction (meanwhile, it also means multiple ATM fees at your home bank). At my suggestion, the Chamber has requested that banks post notices at their ATMs, in various languages, to minimize the confusion.
Unless the policy is reversed or modified, though, it will be a major nuisance for Patagonia travelers in particular. Towns are few and far apart and, northbound along the legendary Ruta 40, it's more than 600 km to the next ATM, in the town of Perito Moreno. Motorists, in particular, need to insure they have sufficient cash to pay for fuel and repairs.
N.B. After I castigated Calafate's merchants for their greedy 1990s behavior, I received a handwritten note from the late Mariano Besio, then the Santa Cruz provincial tourism representative in Buenos Aires, suggesting that "We're trying to do better." In fact, they have done much better in El Calafate since then, but a situation beyond their control is an obstacle to tourism development here and elsewhere in the country.

Little Paintings
This morning I woke up and had breakfast yadda yadda yadda, then I got out my old gouache paints and started mixing colours for the fun of it. Then I just started fucking around on paper and painted up a few of picture you see above. I had a horrible headache while I was doing these, I thought painting would ease the pain but it made it worse. I painted these on A4 plain white paper with
Caran D'ache gouache paints
. If I paint again I might do it larger and on canvas. Its been YEARS since I've used acrylic or gouache paints.

The CPSU Safeguarding Stars Awards
The CPSU will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary on October 5th and 6th this year. This is a superb opportunity to celebrate both the progress made over the past 10 years in safeguarding in and through sport and to look forward to new initiatives that will continue to keep safeguarding high on the sports sector's agenda.
We are very aware that the progress has been made in partnership with people like yourselves and others within your organisations.
Therefore, as part of these celebrations, we would like to launch an annual award for CPSU Safeguarding Stars. These are people who have really made a difference through going the extra mile to promote safeguarding in sport. They could be at any level within your organisation, paid or volunteer, for example, club welfare officer, board member, CEO, but should be a person that would be an example to others and deserves special recognition for their contribution to safeguarding children within sport.
We would like to ask that you consider nominating a Safeguarding Star. Please consider in particular how this person has gone the extra mile to champion safeguarding and give specific examples describing their special contribution to this work. We would ask that you nominate up to three people.
We are proposing that all nominees will be acknowledged in some way during the conference. In addition, prior to the conference we hope to seek the views of young people to select representatives from the nominees to attend the conference itself.
Nominations should be submitted using the available nomination form by 30th June 2011 please return your nomination forms to email@example.com.

Callaway Henderson Sotheby s I R
4 Nassau St
Princeton, NJ
Office: (646) 568-5098
We moved to Princeton from NYC a year ago. She helped us find an apartment to rent in a relatively short period of time, and accommodated our rather rigid work schedules and picky aesthetic. She was down to earth, relatable, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. When we decided to purchase a house in Princeton after renting approximately 6 months, we knew that Christina was the right person. She is very knowledgable about the area and process. She responds to emails and calls quickly - which... More
Our experience working with Christina has been amazing and smooth! Not only she is a savvy in real estate, she treats us like friends with her patience and second set of eyes.She was always there support, guide us during the lengthy process. As the first time home buyers, we feel very lucky to have her as the agent.
We had a very positive experience with Christina. She is very professional and at the same time connects with you personally. Always responsive and understood our requirements. Christina was also very patient with us during the entire process as we were looking for our first home. Even after the deal was closed, Christina remained in touch and I still reach out to her for her suggestions on home repairs etc. I would highly recommend Christina!
Christina helped me buy my home and she was a superb resource throughout the entire house-hunting process. I could not have been more impressed or pleased. She showed me nearly 50 homes (I'm not kidding!) in Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, and Lawrenceville over the course of several months. She was incredibly patient and reliable throughout this long process, always on the ball with sending new listings for my consideration. Most of all I appreciated her quick, clear communication at pract... More
I worked with Christina when I was thinking about possibly buying a bigger home and renting the one we were currently in. She was patient, attentive, pleasant and professional. She showed us a home that we were interested in several times over a period of several months and guided us through a situation when we needed to decide whether to enter a bidding contest for the house. Ultimately we decided to let the house go and she was very supportive and reassuring. She also introduced us to a local ... More
I have worked with Christiana for both the purchase and the sale of luxury homes in Princeton, including homes in the two million to four million dollar price range. She is a consummate professional who keenly experienced the Princeton Real-estate market.
Christina sold my residence in Princeton. Throughout the process, I appreciated her dedication and professionalism. She was always available for questions and to provide guidance. Christina's knowledge of the real estate market and the surrounding areas is impressive. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
It was great to work with Christina. We actually found this house very early in the search process but wanted to make sure that it was the right one. Christina very patiently found other suitable properties for us to benchmark before we were confident that this was the right house for us. The negotiations were tricky since there was another interested buyer who had contracted the same agent as the seller. Christina dealt with this situation very professionally.
Christina Phillips is an experienced real estate professional. She knows the greater Princeton area very well, is quick to understand your needs and is very responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend her and would be happy to use her services again if the need arose.
Christina Phillips is an exceptional agent. We first met Christina when we were searching for a home to rent in Montgomery. We found her to be warm, extremely competent, professional and able to negotiate the best deal possible for us. Christina has a good relationship with the owner of the home so she "walked a fine line" regarding insuring both landlord and leasee were happy. Despite the fact that we were not buying the home, she personally met us at the home several times to all... More
My husband and I have used Christina several times over the past 8 years. In 2004, she successfully sold our 'starter' home in one of the traditionally slowest times of the season (Christmas/New Year's). Her determination, staging skills, communication, marketing, pricing strategy, and desire to host open houses equalled a successful, flawless sale. Whenever we have had ANY questions, Christina was available with answers. Since the original sale, we have also used her to sell, pur... More
We worked for a very long time with Christina, yet she remained enthusiastic and patient with us until we were able to find a home we loved and was within our budget. We thought Christina was helpful, responsive and always on top of things on both the buy and sell side, as she not only found us the home we bought, but also sold our previous home. She is incredibly professional and dedicated to her carreer. We enjoyed our time working with her. Now that we have moved, I miss spending time with... More
Christina is great! I think the thing I appreciate most about her is that she listens and she is not pushy. It took me quite a while to make an offer on the house I eventually bought and Christina was wonderful throughout. She was there when I needed information or guidance, she didn't bug me when she knew I wasn't in a position to move forward (I was waiting for my previous house to sell.) She stayed calm ane helpful when I had last minute qualms (now completely forgotten; I love my... More

Patagonia's design approach to every product, from technical shells for snow and ice, to moisture-wicking underclothes, to everyday clothes, demonstrates a functional bias toward simplicity and utility. Quality is impeccable, and the guarantee lifelong.
Patagonia's love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of the planet. They use organic cotton; most polyester is recycled. They give moral support - and 1% of sales, $25 million to date - to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups in the U.S., Europe and Japan.

Patagonia Arborist Trench Coat
- Sort by:
- Most Helpful

I can't say enough about this trench coat. I bought it at a Pagagonia store in Chicago out of necessity: It was pouring rain, and the winds were strong - and I was unprepared for the weather (I was visiting from out of town). I'd been looking for a trench coat for some time before purchasing this one. I couldn't find anything that suited me until I found this coat. Yes, it's expensive, but it's so worth it, at least in my opinion. It has wonderful features. Perhaps the most important thing about it is that it's 100% waterproof and breathable. It has lots of snaps, and I was particularly happy that it has snaps around the neckline to keep water out. It has two side pockets, and it also has an inside pocket, on the upper left side of your chest, presumably for an iPod, cell phone, etc. One other feature that I really like is the belt. I typically avoid belts because the belt gets twisted, falls off, etc. That's impossible with this belt, as it doesn't go all the way around. It starts at the waist, so there's no chance of the belt twisting or falling off. My only wish for this coat is that the hood were a bit longer & stayed in place better. In defense of Patagonia, it was a windy day. But I had to hold onto the hood to keep it in place; there were no ties of any sort to keep it in place. But if there were ties, it would have made the coat look less classy, in my opinion. One last thing: I found the coat to be true to size. I strongly recommend this coat; it's well worth the money!

This trench coat in blue is really unusual and lovely as well as stylish. If it is really waterproof too, that is great. My only ohter comments - I wish it were 1 to 2 inches longer. The price is a bit steep but it is really a pretty coat.

Really beautiful material, hardware, and workmanship. Fits very close to the body; unfortunately, too close for me and the sleeves to long for me. But if the size works for you, it's well worth the money.

Very flattering, slimming style- exactly what I was looking for! It's a deal on sale. Medium fits like a 10 in sleeve length and mobility through the back, something I always have trouble with. I can move my arms in this, and it doesn't look big! I am tallish, 5'8". I can see how it may be too long on someone shorter- like the model. But for me, the minimalist, practical style is perfect.

It is a beautiful coat. Just too long in the sleeves and length for my petite stature. I wish they made it in petite. I am 5'2.

The facilities like swimming pool, restaurant, laundry service. are not available during the on-going renovation till end june/july. There is wifi, but it is highly overpriced. The staff was not very helpful, and very childish about our complaints. Good breakfast, but in a poorly temporary storage room. Fire exits were only at 50% capacity available.Very dangerous! Humid atmosphere in the 2 rooms that we had because of malfunctioning aircos. Old worn out towels. Typically needing a full renovation. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]" |

The new rooms are very clean and lots of space.As usual, some of the rooms I asked for were changed, for example I asked for 6 twin and 2 double and got only 4 twin and 4 double... very tricky when you have groups and obviuisly strangers, especially of the same sex can not share beds! This has happened a lot in Thailand and makes working with groups very hard. As my reservation was made over 3 months ago, they should give priority for the first bookings.

Welcome to the School of Real Estate and Construction Economics. As the name implies, we teach two main subject areas here. Click on Programmes for more information on our degree programmes.
Our School has been around a long time. We have taught some of the best-known and most reputable real estate and construction professionals in Ireland and even many abroad. Graduates of our School are employed throughout the country in a wide range of property and construction related services from traditional construction companies to professional real estate and quantity surveying consultancies, investment advisors, local authorities and the civil service, to small local companies and many are even self-employed. Outside the construction and property industries many graduates have been employed in a wide variety of other fields from banking, law and finance to other areas such as the sustainability, environment and planning. We are the oldest and best educators of surveyors in Ireland, and train you not just to work in Ireland - our qualifications are recognised as among the best world-wide.
The School of Real Estate and Construction Economics is one of nine schools in the College of Engineering and the Built Environment. The head of the School is Tom Dunne. The School is divided into two Departments, Real Estate headed by Martin Hanratty, and Construction Economics and Management, headed by Alan Hore. We have about 23 full-time staff, many of whom are former students of real estate and construction in DIT. On our staff we have valuers, lawyers, planners, architects, quantity surveyors, construction managers, economists and engineers. We teach about 500 undergraduate students, and the School has many other students doing postgraduate courses and PhD research.
In the School, we run a BSc. (Level 8) in Property Economics (Valuation Surveying) over four years, and a BSc. (Level 7) in Auctioneering, Valuations and Estate Agency (Real Estate) over three years. These degrees prepare students for work in a wide range of jobs in the world of real estate from valuers to estate agents to investment managers and much more. Real estate is an incredibly varied profession.
Also in the School, we run a four year BSc. (Level 8) in Construction Economics and Management (Quantity Surveying) and an equivalent part time programme. This degree is for people who want to work as quantity surveyors, construction economists and/or construction managers. All our degrees give eligibility to apply for membership of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (the UK body) after a number of years of work experience. We also have a number of postgraduate programmes, MSc (Level 9) in Applied Construction Cost Management, MSc in Quantity Surveying (Conversion), MSc in Real Estate and an MSc in Construction Informatics.
We have about 23 full-time staff, all of whom have worked in the real estate and construction industries. So they're bringing their knowledge straight to you. They're qualified, they're bright and they're helpful. In addition to our staff, the School regularly brings in visiting lecturers, experts from the real estate and construction industries, to bring the latest knowledge and experience to our students. The School has excellent relations with industry and many visiting lecturers are indeed former students of the School.
If you're interested in doing one of our courses, or if you just want to have a chat about what the surveying profession is about, and whether or not it might suit you, feel free to give us a call. Tom Dunne is the head of the School and his number is: 01-4023678 or email him on: firstname.lastname@example.com If you've already narrowed your interest down, then give Martin Hanratty a call 01-4023675 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for real estate or call Alan Hore 01-4023873 or email him email@example.com to discuss construction economics and management related courses. If you want to post us something, or address is: School of Real Estate and Construction Economics, DIT, Bolton Street, Dublin 1.

This agent may be effective in men with vascular disease, diabetes, and status post prostate surgery. This is a useful agent for men who do not want to use self-injections or for men in whom oral medications have failed. It has been successfully used together with sildenafil in cases in which each agent alone failed. Few adverse effects occur, and the most common is a painful erection and urethral burning, which occurs in less than 10% of the patients. buy Viagra 200mg here buy viagra 100mg online

Be What You Are
LP (Item 23801) Stax, 1973 — Condition: Used
Warmly grooving 70s soul from The Staple Singers – recorded in a fuller Memphis mode that's miles from their gospel roots, but still plenty darn nice! The style here is very much in keeping with the hit Staples mode of the time – righteous, full, but still nice and earthy at the bottom – a beautiful blending of the group's one male and three female vocals – served up with some slight electric touches in the rhythms. Tracks are tight and catchy, but never poppy – and titles include "If You're Ready", an obvious follow up to "I'll Take You There" – plus "Tellin Lies", "Love Comes In All Colors", "Drown Yourself", "I Ain't Raisin No Sand", and a nice version of "Grandma's Hands". (Cover has some staining and ringwear.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

As someone who gets wander the halls of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts on a regular basis, I've got to say, the Native American Art galleries just keep looking better and better.
Associate Curator Joe Horse Capture says, thanks to a generous donation from MIA trustee and former Target CEO Bob Uhlrich, the MIA has been able to add several outstanding pieces to its collection.
As we look overall at regional museums that are our peers, the quality of our collection is rising and we're working our way to the top. There are certain areas of our collection that I look forward to expanding, but certainly in the past few years key acquisitions have dramatically increased the quality of our collection.
One of those recent acquisitions is a Naskapi hunting coat which Horse Capture believes dates back to the mid-18th Century (he's waiting on the results of pigment tests to confirm this).
Naskapi - or Innu - hunting coat

The Naskapi, also known as the Innu, are traditionally located in Canada's Quebec and Newfoundland/Labrador provinces. Horse Capture says this type of coat was worn by a man hunting caribou, which was considered a holy occupation. Traditional beliefs held that the Lord of the Caribou sent animals from the sacred mountain for hunters to harvest.
The hunter would have a sacred vision in which he would dream specific designs, which he would then share with his wife. She would interpret these designs and embellish them on a coat. This beautifully decorated coat would be worn while he was hunting. This would please the soul of the caribou, so when the caribou was harvested, his soul would go back to the mountain, so the Lord of the Caribou would release more for the people.
In other words, a failure to respect the caribou would mean fewer caribou for the Naskapi people in the future.(Editor's note: see comments)
Naskapi women would incorporate designs their husband saw in dreams into the designs of hunting coats.
Image courtesy of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Once the hunting season was over, the coat's sacred power would fade and the coats were often traded or sold to the French, in exchange for French garments such as the "Justaucorps." Horse Capture says you can see the influence of French style on this particular hunting coat.
The French had already been in the area for years. As this type of coat (justaucorps) was traded with the Naskapi, the women began using it as inspiration for their own garments.
As Native Americans and French settlers traded, Naskapi women began incorporating French fashion elements into their own work.

Horse Capture says of the 60 or so similar hunting coats in collections around the world, this is the finest example to appear on the market in the past ten years.
"In other words, a failure to respect the caribou would mean fewer caribou for the Naskapi people in the future."
Are these your own interpretations or is this a Naskapi perspective? Why would you suppose the negative is true when the intent is simply a thankgiving and paying respect for what was given?
MuseumNative - Good point. That was my interpretation of the story, and after conferring with Joe Horse Capture, we agreed that I should strike it. Apologies!
Another small correction; the Naskapi and the Innu are two different people.
The Innu are also called Montagnais, and traditionally had contact with the French along the St. Lawrence.
The Naskapi are also called Iyuu (both Innu and Iyuu mean "person", in their respective languages), and mainly inhabited the interior of Quebec, and traded with the Hudson Bay Company in the north.

Behind-The-Scenes: Oscar Set-Up
One of the perks of working in the heart of Hollywood is the proximity to hot happenings. And what's the hottest thing that's happening right now? The Academy Awards!
The glamour is currently coming together around the intersection of Hollywood and Highland and since it's just a short hop, skip and a jump way from the office, we decided to head up for lunch and bring you the little seen behind-the-scenes set-up!
There is something eerie and all together awe-inspiring about watching it all come together. Knowing that in a few short days, the eyes of the world will turned to the area where your standing, and that the red-carpet so painstakingly placed will be filled with A-list stars from every corner of the globe.
The stretch of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland is home to some of the best Hollywood has to offer: Weird and the wacky tourist photo ops meet high-end shopping destinations under the shadows of some of the most famous Los Angeles institutions.
The Chinese Grauman Theatre, The Roosevelt Hotel (temporary home to Marilyn Monroe, It-crowd hotspot & site of the first ever Oscars!) are just a few of the historic landmarks this section of the Boulevard offers up—in our minds a more fitting place to host the pageantry of the Oscars doesn't exist!
Every time we journey past this spot, there are reminders of the Hollywood greats who once stood here. From Bette Davis's (and many others) handprints to the walk of fame, it's easy to forget in the every day hustle and bustle that we work in the midst of an incredible legacy.
And even though we know this corner well, we'll still be glued to the television on Sunday, marveling over the glitz and glamour alongside everyone else–that's the magic of Hollywood!

But there is always something about which to be grateful. For me, it is having employment, a family, a house and readers - not necessarily in that order.

After proving during the 2010 FIFA World Cup that he's not too young to play with the big boys, Manchester City youngster Vladimir Weiss was sent out on a season long loan to Rangers of the Scottish Premier League on Thursday.
Today he was officially unveiled to the media. The Slovakian international is extremely excited about the prospect of getting a lot of playing time for his new club.
"As soon as I got this offer I was really interested. I had a few offers, including from Italy and Germany, and then the offer from Rangers came – to play for a big team like this will be a pleasure for me," he said.
"Celtic came in for me first but then Rangers came in and when I looked through all of the offers, I picked Rangers. The fact that Rangers are in the Champions League was obviously a big incentive for me. Every player wants to play in the Champions League so it's a great opportunity."
Manchester City are hoping that the 20-year-old Weiss will get lots of playing time and gain much needed experience for when he returns to the Eastlands next season. It is expected that Weiss will make his Rangers debut this Sunday against Hibernian.

Area farmers predict poor yields for wheat
By Tim Leeds
Dale Miller said he expects to harvest his winter wheat with a yield of about 10 bushels an acre. He doesn't expect much more for his spring wheat either, although he said a little more rain might raise that yield some.
"We're working on next year already, that's all we can do," said Miller, who farms out of Gildford.
The National Weather Service reported that at 6 a.m. today the Havre airport had received .94 inches of rain in June, compared with the month-to-date average of 1.08 inches. Light rain continued to fall through the morning and showers are predicted through Tuesday. The 6 a.m. report still fell short more than 2 inches of the yearly average, with 2.51 inches in 2001 compared with an average of 5.23 inches
Les Kaercher, who farms west of Havre, said today he also has low expectations. He said he's not sure yet how the winter wheat harvest will turn out.
"It's hurt, I just don't know how bad or where it's going to go," he said.
Kaercher said he still has some hope for the spring wheat, but unless the area gets a good rain, it will probably go downhill this week. And there isn't a lot of rain in the forecast.
Gregg Carlson of the Northern Agricultural Research Center said the situation varies greatly from area to area depending on how much rain it has received and when it received it.
"It's a really localized kind of thing," he said.
Miller, who farms both north and south of Gildford, said it's much drier north of the small community than south of it.
Miller said he traveled west recently, and it looks like much of Liberty, Toole and west Hill counties have mostly been left out of the rain that other parts of the state have been getting lately.
He said that for most of his grain the rain is too late. The stand is pretty well established and the harvest will be minimal. He said he expects no hay to be cut.
More rain might help the spring wheat. The stand is pretty well set, he said, but moisture could help with yield and quality.
Carlson said what happens depends a lot on what the weather is like for the rest of the month. The combination of high temperatures and high wind with the low amounts of rain the last few months has increased the drought problem.
"Now it's cooler and these little shots like this can't bring crops back, but it's buying us a little time."
Kaercher said the rain and cooler weather is helping, but that it's only temporary.
"I'm concerned that when it turns hot we don't have any reserves," he said.
To top off the problems with the crops' yields, he is also concerned about the quality of the crops.
"At this stage I think our quality is going to be bad too," he said.
Carlson is also concerned about that. He said there are some stress problems already showing in some winter wheat crops, and he doesn't have a lot of hope for good protein premiums. But the weather could change that.
"If it's like this all month it could really surprise you," Carlson said.

I sent my Mom a text message this morning, wishing her a Happy Valentine's Day and reassuring her that I was not in fact dead just because I hadn't gotten in touch with her yesterday. She responded with a (virtual) sigh of relief and with a message saying that she had just left the personal care home, where she had given my 92-year-old paternal grandmother a bath and set her hair in curlers. Despite the lack of biological ties, and despite the fact that my Dad has been gone for over three years, my Mom still takes care of my grandmother as lovingly and devotedly as she would her own mother*.
The message from my Mom seemed a timely reminder, on this day when romantic love is celebrated above all else, of just how many forms love can take. Love isn't all about grand gestures from one's significant other; it's also about a grieving widow rinsing the shampoo from her mother-in-law's thinning hair. And if we focus only on the romantic part of love, then we miss out on these subtler, but equally important, manifestations of love that are all around us.
*My Mom's mother is thousands of kilometers away and therefore not as easy for my Mom to care for on a regular basis.

Slow-roasted pork shoulder with leeks, apricots & thyme
Make your weekend roast really special with creamy leek and apricot stuffing, extra crispy crackling and tender meat
Recipe uploaded by
Difficulty and servings
Serves 6 - 8
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 45 mins
Cook 3 hrs
plus soaking- A few hours before you want to cook the pork, remove it from the fridge and dry the skin thoroughly. Leave unwrapped in a cool place to slowly come to room temperature while you make the stuffing.
- Put a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it begins to sizzle, add the leeks and cook until they are soft and most of their liquid has evaporated. Stir in the apricots and thyme, season well and transfer to a bowl to cool. When the mixture is cold, stir in the breadcrumbs. Taste and season again if required.
- When you are ready to cook the pork, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the stuffing into the pocket your butcher has left for you. Wipe any stuffing from the skin, put the pork in a roasting tin and season the skin well with salt. Put the celery, onion and carrot in the tin around the pork, place in the oven and cook for 30 mins.
- Reduce heat to 140C/120C fan/ gas 1 and cook the pork for a further 2 hrs 30 mins. Transfer the pork to a warm serving dish to rest while you finish the gravy.
- Tip out any fat from the roasting tin and reserve for another dish. Put the roasting tin on a medium heat, add the white wine or cider and, using a wooden spatula, scrape the caramelised juices from the bottom of the pan and allow them to dissolve. Let the juices reduce by half.
- Add the stock and simmer for 5 mins. Add the flour and butter, mashed together, and whisk them into the gravy. Taste for seasoning, then strain into a warmed jug. If your pork skin has not crackled, put under a hot grill for a few mins, turning every 30 secs or so, until bubbled and crackling.

Project starts: 08/08/2011
The works for the Queen Victoria Street road realignment (from James Street to Parry Street) commenced in the first week of August 2011.
The project in its entirety will take about four months to complete and is broken into 4 stages.
This is a $1.3 million project that was initiated by the City to remodel and enhance one of Fremantle's main entrances to the CBD area.
The design was undertaken by city officers with input from external contractors to ensure that the final design is both sustainable to accommodate the traffic demand along this part of the road and also look attractive with urban landscaping works.
Stage 1 of the works will take approximately four weeks, commencing the first week of August 2011. Works will be undertaken 6 days per week (Monday to Saturday) commencing at approximately 7.00 am and finishing by 5.00 pm. Stage 1 will span from James Street to the southern end of the Fort Knox building. One side of the road will be blocked leaving 2 lanes open for one-way traffic into the city only and will be managed by the City's traffic management contractor.
Works will include:
It is imperative that the works will have as little impact on residents and businesses and access will be managed by the traffic management officers who are happy to comply with these arrangements.
With the successful completion of stage 1, stage 2 commenced on Monday 29 August 2011 and is now well underway.
Removal of the fig trees on the western side of Queen Victoria Street (near the Parry Street end) was undertaken due to the trees being extremely damaging to the local infrastructure and residences and will be replaced with the more suitable species of Plane Trees which we expect will flourish in the new environment.
All of the same types of works will be done including;
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the local residences, business owners and visitors to the area for their patience with access issues during the Stage 2 works.
