Canada Suspect Faces More Charges
Associated Press Writer
Police filed three more murder charges Tuesday against a pig farmer already charged with two counts involving some of the 50 women who have disappeared from the Vancouver area over the past two decades.
Robert Pickton, 52, now faces five counts of first-degree murder in a case that raised fears of a serial killer stalking Vancouver's east end, an area populated by prostitutes and drug addicts.
The new charges announced Tuesday named the victims as Jacqueline McDonell, who disappeared in January 1999; Heather Bottomley, who has been missing for the past year; and Diane Rock, who was last seen in October.
The two previous charges involved women who have disappeared since August.
Police broke their silence on the case Tuesday, saying a search of the farm was productive.
"We're looking for certain things, and I can say we're finding certain things" that help the investigation, Vancouver Detective Scott Driemel told a news conference.
"We are going through the site on a slow, inch-by-inch process," he said. "As we uncover new evidence that supports additional charges, there will be additional charges."
Pickton, who took part in the hearing by video link from the jail where he is being held, appeared relaxed. A slight, balding man with shoulder-length hair, he wore an orange prison-issue T-shirt and sat with his hands in front, fingers touching.
When asked if he could hear what was happening, he nodded his head and said, "Yes."
Peter Ritchie, Pickton's lawyer, asked for further information about the new charges. He also asked for the government's assurance it would refrain from listening in on any discussions he has with Pickton.
"In cases like this, frank discussion between counsel and client are constitutionally protected and absolutely necessary," Ritchie said.
When prosecutor Michael Petrie responded he gave Ritchie those assurances outside the courtroom, Ritchie said that was insufficient.
Another hearing in the case was scheduled for April 9, and officials said it would likely take months before a preliminary hearing on the charges begins.
Relatives of some of the missing women who attended the hearing were angry that Pickton wasn't present.
"There is no expression on his face. I didn't know that man was alive until I saw him blink," said Kathleen Hallmark, whose daughter went Helen went missing in 1997.
Pickton, a pig farmer, and his brother operated a drinking club frequented by bikers and prostitutes in this community 20 miles east of Vancouver.
He was arrested in February, more than two weeks after a police task force launched an investigation at the 10-acre farm owned by Pickton and his siblings. Police have yet to say what evidence found at the farm brought the murder charges, but news reports have suggested police have DNA evidence.
Family and friends of the missing women have made the fence around the Pickton farm a makeshift shrine, leaving flowers and cards.
Known as Willy, Pickton and his younger brother Dave ran "Piggy's Palace" _ a place to party for those familiar with Vancouver's mean streets _ in an old building they owned near the farm. Dave Pickton, through a lawyer, has denied involvement in the disappearances. He told a Vancouver newspaper his brother often befriended prostitutes out of kindness.
Robert Pickton was charged in 1997 with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing a drug-addicted prostitute in his home, but the charges were dropped.
Rebecca Guno was the first of the 50 women to disappear, vanishing in June 1983. The disappearances increased in frequency in 1997 and 1998, with nine women vanishing in each of those years.

In a sensational start to the Jumping Championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy today, Ireland's teenage star Bertram Allen won the opening speed leg with a brilliant performance from Molly Malone V. The 19-year-old, who hails from County Wexford, but who is based in Munster, Germany and is coached by German ace Marcus Ehning, set a super-fast target when 40th to go in the field of 153 starters. And despite their best efforts, the world's leading riders simply couldn't match the time achieved by the young Irishman and his lovely grey mare.
French rider Patrice Delaveau lined up second with Orient Express HDC, securing pole position for the host country in the team rankings going into tomorrow's second test, while Belgium's Gregory Wathelet and Conrad de Hus finished third ahead of America's Beezie Madden on Cortes C.
The top-10 after today's opening competition reads like a "who's who" of the sport, with 2011 FEI European champion Rolf-Goran Bengtsson (SWE) filling fifth with Casall Ask, world number 9 Penelope Leprevost from France in sixth with Flora de Mariposa, and this year's Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping champions, Daniel Deusser and Cornet D'Amour from Germany, slotting into seventh place.
Lying eighth individually is Canadian phenomenon and 10-time Olympian Ian Millar who, at 67 years of age, is almost 50 years older than today's winner. The man affectionately and respectfully knows as "Captain Canada" cruised into the top-10 line-up with consummate ease riding the 11-year-old Dixon, a horse with a pedigree connected to his legendary partner Big Ben.
Lying ninth is Sweden's Peder Fredricson, team silver medallist at the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, while The Netherlands' Jeroen Dubbeldam, individual champion at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, is well placed in 10th.
First clear round
Irishman Darragh Kenny produced the first clear over Frederic Cottier's course when second into the arena with Imothep. But the 14-fence track would prove a significant test, with many horses more than impressed by the Norman theme that included a model of Mont St Michel, a herd of sheep grazing in a meadow, cartloads of fresh apples and even a bottle of French wine that adorned the space between the optional elements of the double at fence eight. This proved a pivotal point on the course, with a number of refusals and falls.
In total, 10 horse-and-rider combinations failed to make it around the track, which began with an oxer followed by a line of vertical to oxer to oxer before a bending line to a most unusual wall. Its rock-like face came as something of a surprise to many horses, as did the river-filler below the following oxer which led on to the open 3.80m open water.
The majority of riders selected the right-side faster route over the double of planks at fence eight instead of the poles to the left. Next was a vertical going away from the in-gate, and a stop and fall here for Brazil's Doda de Miranda when AD Rahmannshof's Bogeno ducked out to the left, drew gasps of disbelief from the crowd.
A double, vertical to oxer, at 10 was followed on a left-circle by a narrow oxer at 11 and this too took its toll when riders were attempting to make up time towards the end of the track with four seconds added for every fence on the floor. The narrow vertical at 12 then led to the final line of a double, oxer to vertical, and a final oxer.
More than 50 horses took their turn before Delaveau came closest to Allen's time, and there were only 13 left to run when Wathelet moved into third while Madden clinched her fourth-place finish when second-last into the ring.
Rising star
Allen's ride was perfection, but there was still a lot of head-shaking at the end of the day because, although his star has been rising for quite some time, his appearance at the top of the individual order at the end of this first world championship contest was generally unexpected. Except by the Irish who have been watching this extraordinarily talented young man making his way through the sport for a number of years now.
Despite his tender years he has a lot of experience under his belt, and his form in recent months includes a brilliant victory in the Longines Grand Prix at Dublin Horse Show just a few weeks ago. And of course he'd given warning of his intent when consistently successful at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 test event earlier in the summer.
Ireland's Bertram Allen steered the lovely grey mare Molly Malone V to win the opening Speed leg of the Jumping Championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Caen, France today. (Dirk Caremans/FEI)

A Hansa kitchen faucet combines style and function in one design. This type of faucet is typically a sink-mounted, single-handle faucet that dispenses cold and hot water. As you operate the lever-style handle, certain parts in the faucet will wear down and eventually will need replacing. If your Hansa faucet leaks, swapping out the old cartridge for a new one is an ideal solution. This fix takes the average person about a half-hour to complete.
Step 1
Shut off the water to the kitchen faucet by shutting both valves underneath the kitchen sink. Turn each one clockwise all the way until they stop to close them.
Step 2
Remove the handle on the faucet by unscrewing the small screw at the base of the handle, just below the lever portion, with an Allen wrench. Pull the handle off the side of the faucet.
Step 3
Unscrew the dome cap -- the round, concave cap on top of the handle -- along the with the cartridge nut right below it. Use a large wrench to unscrew this part, if necessary.
Step 4
Pull the cartridge out of the side of the faucet and replace it with a new cartridge for your model of Hansa faucet. Align the cartridge holes with the outlets in the base of the faucet.
Step 5
Put the cartridge nut back on and turn clockwise to tighten it. Replace the dome cap, and tighten this by hand. Reinstall the handle.

Euthanasia another moral dilemmas.
What are Catholic perspectives on euthanasia.
I'm catholic, and the Catholic church speaks against "euthanasia as a violation of the sanctity of life".
It's easy to say life is sacred, but when we get personally involved in this human tragedy, or what if the one to suffer in a reversal of role would be the ones who denies a peacefully dismissal from the earthly sufferings to a terminal ill patient, we still be able to say life is sacred!
If we the deniers, are willing to be tortured day by day, and afterward still keep our convictions that life is sacred, than we can decide for a denial to those requests.
The right to a decent life means also, a quality life.
There isn't any quality of life in a terminally ill patient.
Who are we, to denied a terminally ill person, his request for a peacefully dismissals from this world.
The right of a "dignifying death" rather than, a prolonged life of suffering from unbearable chronic pains while, trying to extend his life, through an "aggressive medical treatments" in my humble opinion, it's not a life to live.
In Truth, we are only prolonging his suffering, and I don't see any real compassion in doing that.
I believe no one has the rights to deny someone will to die when, he has no hope to survive his illness.
We'll be guilty as tortures with their victims, while keeping him hooked on support machines in a precarious way of living, that's a sin.
I don't see any civilization in all this, and I firmly believe even God won't accept it.
In the end, I am for proposals to legalize euthanasia for patients who are suffering unbearably with no prospect of improvement.
Of course different organizations should keep a monitoring eye in the process, to prevent abuses of the system if, this will ever happened.
Dutch legalise euthanasia
Dutch legalise euthanasia
THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Euthanasia, which has been tolerated in the Netherlands for decades and carried out thousands of times each year, was legalised by the Dutch parliament on Tuesday in an historic move.

What will I make from them? A quilt....but I've NO idea of a design as yet. It's percolating, and will require delightful research in quilt history books and block encyclopedias. My favourite fabric in the range is the fan one (the first link below takes you to a colour card of all the fabrics, if you want to investigate them further).
These fabrics are Civil War Anthem by Barbara Brackman and Terry Clothier Thompson for Moda.

Yes, lovely. I've never understood why anyone takes black and white photos when they could have colour. In answer to your comment on my blog, yes, I take most of the photos but I'm very new to digital technology so I sometimes use something off the internet (which I probably shouldn't...). Anyway, I love your pictures.

United Nations Lunch
12.30pm and it is lunch time. So far, it is just me and a French couple to my right. The beauty of dining alone is that you can be a voyeur of the legal kind. The peace is soon shattered by the arrival of four German ladies and one baby. Quickly followed by an Irish family of ten. Six adults and four children. Or was it the other way round? Another couple appeared and were seated to my left. Turns out there were Danish. I had to ask the Swedish waitress.
Finally two couples and a toddler take the last table. Seem like Ma, Pa, and Grandparents. Pa sounds American but I soon discover he was born in Switzerland. Ma, almost American ( been with Pa too long) but no, she is a Brit as is Grandma, who I suspect hates the term. Grandpa, I now realise, never said a word, the entire meal. Every time he was included in the conversation he only managed to nod before he lost his chance.
The toddler and I had great fun making faces at the grown ups, when no-one else was watching. And they say having kids keeps you young. Perhaps I just never grew up.
So make that: Six tables, seven nationalities. Eight counting the waitress. I wonder who left a tip?

Be prepared for leftovers—this dish is huge. It comes on a bigger-than-your-face churro waffle, crispy and packed with sugar and cinnamon, which is topped with a crunchy chicken breast Milanese and pork belly. The pork belly has this dish teetering on "too rich," but not when you share: Take turns dipping each bite into hot sauce and maple syrup and you'll be happy. $21.
GT Fish & Oyster
Giuseppe Tentori's River North darling boasts a mean chicken and waffles. Hunks of boneless chicken breast with a light sweet maple taste dominate this dish, which is peppered with small specks of chives. The waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A cup of maple syrup accompanies the dish, if you need a bit more sweetness. $15. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am–2:30pm.
Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles
This no-frills Bronzeville rendition will leave you wishing that you had a bottomless stomach. The fried chicken is the star of the restaurant's signature dish, a half chicken served with two waffles packed with cinnamon that is affectionately named the Betty Lou. You can split it with a friend, but you'll have to decide who gets the breast, which boasts the majority of the crispy chicken skin. $16.25. Served all day.
Chicken & Farm Shop
Soho House's diner, which sits above the Allis, serves a powdered sugar-dusted, butter-covered two piece chicken and waffle. Dress it however you like—it comes with both gravy and maple syrup. If you're feeling adventurous, there are bottles of smokey and hot sauces on the table that are sure to add another facet of flavor to your meal. $15. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am–4pm.
Luella's Southern Kitchen
Darnell Reed's counter service restaurant is the epitome of true Southern comfort. Here, apple cider waffles are topped with Reed's rendition of Nashville hot chicken. Settle in at one of the wooden tables for brunch and grab a glass of sweet tea to go with your meal. Luella's Southern Kitchen is BYOB, so don't forget the whiskey to make the morning even sweeter. $12. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday 10am–3pm.
Parson's Chicken & Fish
Parson's Chicken and Fish's take on chicken and waffles consists of a fried chicken thigh topped with an egg sunny side up, peppered and drizzled with a maple brown butter. It's one of the more savory versions of the dish, so it's ideal for anyone who finds most versions a tad on the cloying side. $12. Brunch is served weekdays 11am–3:30pm and weekends 10am–3:30pm.
Dusek's Board and Beer
Dusek's Board and Beer tops its chicken and waffles with a decadent combination of pimento cheese, chow chow and fresno syrup. The juicy chicken contrasts nicely with hearty waffles. $16. Lunch is served weekdays 11am–3pm.
Find the best Bloody Mary to pair with your chicken and waffles
The 11 best Bloody Marys in Chicago
Chicago kicks ass when it comes to Bloody Marys—clearly, because we're also stellar at brunch. Whether you're looking for a light cocktail to help slowly cure your hangover alongside a cup of coffee or need a big Bloody Mary that could practically function as its own dinner to go with a side of fries, Chicago's got you covered.

Listen to this week's show here:
Cruising with The Commissioner #37 (15.12.11)
Well, the seasonal spirit is very evident around here and The Cruisettes have even put some seasonal decorations around Cruise Control to ensure we have no excuse to be anything but jolly on Cruising with The Commissioner . . . . as if we are ever anything else !!!! So, this week we were in particularly good spirits to go cruising across musical frontiers, in and out of time zones and jumping genres in pursuit of the very best in rock, soul and real rhythm & blues. There's been a lot going on here lately and plenty of pre-Xmas travelling to catch up with friends and family.
We heard from some of our Cruising guests this week, including Richard Mann, DJ Leyton Rocks, The Vikster, John Burgess, Lil-Sis, Phil Tyler, Mick Clark and Joe Duckworth. There was even a reported sighting of DJ Captain Scarlet. The Spongeman and Mumbles are amongst the frequent visitors to the chatroom during the Cruising shows and we are trying to persuade them (and one or two other guests) to come and share a 'Three From Me' for a future show.
Our cruise started off this week with ' Flipping Their Top' by The Egyptians and followed up quickly with 'Shake A Tail Feather' by the Five Du-Tones . . . . which is the earliest version of the song that I can find . . . . and if you know of an earlier version, I want to hear from you . . . and soon! There have been some very welcome additions to the cruising library this week and we'll be sure to include some of those in future playlists here.
In compiling last week's Cruising with The Commissioner playlist we missed the birthday of Tom McGuiness, but we caught up this week and played Sha La La by Manfred Mann with Tom playing on the popular cover of The Shirelles song. Listening to the new Amy Winehouse album this week was a reminder of that great 60s hit 'Our Day Will Come' and I went a-rummaging in the Cruising library for the version by Ruby & The Romantics . . . great stuff.
If you've been listening to the show over recent weeks, you will know that we have featured various versions of the Jimmy Jones hit 'Handy Man' and this week we found another, this time by Frank Black & The Teenage Fanclub and they certainly gave it a distinctive treatment.
One of the joys of the past week was joining the birthday celebrations for our good pal DJ Leyton Rocks and what a time that was with plenty of music, family, friends and colleagues, including many friendly faces who feature amongst the Cruising Crew. By way of a happy memory of those celebrations, here's a favourite of DJ Leyton Rocks . . . . this is Bob Seger and Rosalie (which featured in the birthday band's set for the evening) and we followed on with a Badfinger track that went down particularly well in the DJ set.
This week's playlist provides an arid wilderness for avid fans of Esther and Abi Ofarim, but here's what we did squeeze in:
Cruising for the border . . . .
Flipping Their Top – The Egyptians
Shake A Tail Feather – The Five Du-Tones
Don't Push, Don't Pull, Don't Shove – The Willows
Don't Be Ashamed – Jackie Lee
Randy – The Cookies
Walk Away Renee – Four Tops
Locking up my Heart – The Marvelettes
Sha La La – Manfred Mann
Our Day Will Come – Ruby & The Romantics
Handy Man – Frank Black & The Teenage Fanclub
Three From Me . . . . . . Lil-Sis
Private Number – William Bell & Judy Clay
My Generation – The Who
Rock With The Caveman – Tommy Steele
Cruising with friends . . . .
Play It Cool – Freddie King
Eye On You – Killing Floor
I Can't Wait To See My Baby's Face – Aretha Franklin
I'll Be Around – Seal
Choosing Up On You – The Dramatics
Rudy A Message To You – Dandy Livingstone
Gonzo – James Booker
Cruising with no particular place to go . . . .
Getting Tired, Tired, Tired – The Orioles
No Time – The Titans
I'll Never Let You Get Away – Bill Dennis
Have Faith In Me – Sugar & Spices
Time Stand Still – Rush
Don't Fear The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
Rosalie – Bob Seger
No Matter What – Badfinger
Love Your Shoes – Furniture
Memory Lane . . . . with The Commissioner
Cruisin' 1958 with Jack Carney on WIL St Louis
Short Shorts – The Royal Teens
Rock 'N' Roll Music – Chuck Berry
Cruising for home . . . .
Mercy Mercy – Don Covay
You Better Dig It – Bill Johnson & The Four Steps Of Rhythm
Sandy – The Colonaires
(Do You Wanna) Jump Children – Dave Bartholomew
We welcomed back Lil-Sis for another 'Three From Me' and she gave us some stories of the events and music that for her bring back the rich musical memories of the 60s and 70s. She was smooth and relaxed, despite some hectic events, and we were pleased to have her company in the chatroom where she picked out some of her favourite tracks from the rest of the show's playlist.
Although we marked the sad passing of Don Covay in last week's Cruising with The Commissioner, but we returned to the distinctive voice of Don Covay this week with his 'Mercy Mercy' which has some tasteful guitar work of a very early Jimi Hendrix. We also included a little 'find' from Bill Johnson & The Four Steps Of Rhythm with one of the first two recordings on Talos Records which was a label created in 1958 by Charles Douglas and then governor of Georgia, Carl Saunders to showcase local talent.
We were enjoying our cruise, but time caught up with us and we had to head for home, so we did it in with the rocking rhythm of The Colonaires and their 45 on Ember records 'Sandy' and we even managed to squeeze in 'Jump Children' by Dave Bartholomew . . . . and then we reached our cruising capacity.
Well, we certainly had fun at Cruise Control and we hope that our musical adventures provided you with good times too. It's always a joy to have your company . . . . . and grateful thanks go to Wireless FM for allowing me this time to play the music I like to who ever I like. If there was something in our playlist that you enjoyed, perhaps you might come back next week, when once again we can go Cruising with The Commissioner and if you can't wait till then . . . . why not try the Tuesday night Mafia on Wireless FM, where they'l make you an offer you can't refuse and play you music you'll never forget.
So until the next time we go Cruising with The Commissioner . . . . have fun!

RESIDENTS interested in learning how to make their own simple beehive or to start professionally keeping bees are invited to a free event at the Lesmurdie Library this month.
Apiarist Michael Adams will host the free informative and practical demonstration All About Bees & Beekeeping next Tuesday, March 7.
Mr Adams said he had spent much of his life living on larger properties, seeking to cultivate a more sustainable way of life.
"Keeping bees is a traditional way of life which really does put you in touch with much older livelihood practices, and a much more natural way of living," he said.
"I'll be talking to people about the annual bee seasons, what influences honey production, how to cheaply and simply build a hive, where to get equipment, how to nail it together, paint it, light the smokers, and avoid bees crawling up your legs.
"I'll demonstrate it all, and also bring along bits of a hive."
MORE: Manchester United great Denis Irwin looking forward to taking part in Perth charity match
MORE: Swastikas among racist graffiti in Mandurah
MORE: East Freo, Bicton, Melville and Attadale residents told to expect more toxic exhaust from Roe 9 tunnel traffic
Mr Adams said his passion for beekeeping started more than 50 years ago.
"I was living in the African bush, where bushmen took honey from the most serious bees in the world," he said.
"African bees are incredibly savage; they chase you!
"I've seen them pursue people in large cone-like veils that almost drape over you."
The talk will be held from 6:15pm to 7:30pm at the Lesmurdie Library at 21 Reid Road, Lesmurdie.
Bookings are essential. Book online at www.trybooking.com/OIVC or contact Lesmurdie Library on 9257 9976.

at last i'm goin to skol
haha... havent been to skol for 2 days and i kinda missed it... haiz... anyways, was bloghopping ard till i came to tis girl's(nad) blog... found it in duck's tag board... anyways, she got a really nice entry... at least she got an email of words that would fill the heart...:
Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weaklings and most succeptible?
Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need some one to protect them?
Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are : I love you, Sorry and help me. The people who say these are those that actually need them or really feel them, and they are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.
Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?
Did you know that those who need more of you are those that did not mention it to you?
Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writting than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it in the face?
Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?
oh well, gotta go to skol later on...

by Bernard K. Means, Director of the Virtual Curation Laboratory (VCL)
On Tuesday, August 4, 2014, I demonstrated the Sense 3D scanner to Dr. Steve Davis of the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. He was interested in seeing how well the scanner would work on a Catawba jar. The base of the jar was set into a bed of rice at an angle, as my previous experiences with the Sense 3D scanner indicates difficulty with recording the image of symmetric objects if arranged along a 90 degree angle through their central axis. As expected, the Sense 3D scanner did not pick up fine details of the surface as one could with the NextEngine Desktop 3D scanner. On the other hand, the Sense 3D scanner did readily record the interior of the jar, which would be difficult with the NextEngine. The Sense 3D scanner is certainly suitable for gross-level recordation of vessel shape, and it does create measurable digital models that can also be printed.

I present to you ULTAmate Fuschia!
This shade is a mix of bold and timeless, the perfect shade for all seasons. If you are new to Julep, their nail polish is 5-free and vegan- friendly. Julep steers clear of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP, camphor, and animal ingredients or byproducts.
I am already a huge fan of Julep nail polish. I have been a Julep Maven for over 3 years now. I was able to snag this polish for free since I am a ULTA Platinum member. First off, I absolutely love this color. It reminds me of the very first Julep nail polish color I ever received called Eva. Second, this polish applied beautifully. It was smooth, opaque after one coat, and dried very quickly. I am excited to add this new shade to my polish collection.
* If you would like to pick up your own Julep Polish in ULTAmate Fuschia it is currently available online for $14 at ULTA. Click the link for more details: ULTA, More Julep Goodies

I heart NPH
NY Mag's profile of NPH is totally right on and awesome:
Neil Patrick Harris used to be an underage doctor on TV. Now he's another Hollywood first: an out gay actor who can host award shows, play a womanizer, walk the red carpet with his boyfriend, and then get cast in movies as a straight dad. Neat trick.

07 September 2009
I fell in love with Mongolia when I visited in 2005. When I read this in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, I felt it put into words how I felt about the place and what I imagined Gengiz Khan to have felt too:
Sometimes, when one is moving silently through such an utterly desolate landscape, an overwhelming hallucination can make one feel that oneself, as an individual human being, is slowly coming unraveled.
Sometimes, when one is moving silently through such an utterly desolate landscape, an overwhelming hallucination can make one feel that oneself, as an individual human being, is slowly coming unraveled.
The surrounding space is so vast that it becomes increasingly difficult to keep a balanced grip on one's own being. I wonder if I am making myself clear.
The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fastened to the physical self.
That is what I experienced in the midst of the Mongolian steppe. How vast it was! It felt more like an ocean than a desert landscape. The sun would rise from the eastern horizon, cut its way across the empty sky, and sink below the western horizon.
This was the only perceptible change in our surroundings. And in the movement of the sun, I felt something I hardly know how to name: some huge cosmic love.
Dawn in Mongolia was an amazing thing. In one instant, the horizon became a faint line suspended in the darkness, and then the line was drawn upward, higher and higher. It was as if a giant hand had stretched down from the sky and slowly lifted the curtain of night from the face of the earth.
It was a magnificent sight, far greater in scale, as I said earlier, than anything that I, with my limited human faculties, could fully comprehend.
As I sat and watched, the feeling overtook me that my very life was slowly dwindling into nothingness. There was no trace here of anything as insignificant as human undertakings. This same event had been occurring hundreds of millions--hundreds of billions--of times, from an age long before there had been anything resembling life on earth.

Benefit, I have such a bizarre relationship with you. For many years I have obsessed about their products and loved them. Their offerings are generally good, sometimes they have become staples in my daily routine, but they are pricey for what they are, and some things haven't made the grade, mostly the 'one for all' products, as I think for such a high price point, they could probably offer more refined options. However, their most recent mascara, They're Real, is incredible, and up there with Diorshow Blackout and YSL Faux Cils. I highly recommend you snapping up a copy of Elle magazine right now as they're giving a generous travel sized one away for free.
Primers from benefit haven't been particularly forthcoming across the board of skin needs, the most recent offering being the Porefessional (see below) which is a silicone heavy primer that makes your skin velvety and smooth, but sadly my skin didn't get on with it at all, and it didn't give my foundation any more longevity, and it didn't apply any better than if i'd done it on bare skin. Actually it was worse if anything!
But I am not one to hold a grudge when it comes to a brand, especially when I can smell a new product release. It's like a drug to me! So what are the claims of this brand new primer??
"Flawless works overtime! Our instant PRO-long primer acts like a magnet to lock on your foundation for 15 fresh & flawless hours. This invisible stick primer glides directly onto skin for optimal wear and a natural-looking finish. Go longer. Stay flawless!
How to apply
Glide this innovative primer stick directly onto skin, then immediately apply foundation, blending together on face.
The results are in…and they're flawless!
94% said it helps foundation last longer*
97% saw an improvement in the look of skin/complexion*
94% said it increased foundation coverage*
97% said it enhanced foundation's performance*
*Results observed in a consumer panel survey when worn with hello flawless liquid foundation & powder."
Well slap me on the arse and call me SOLD!!! I want this product and I want it NOW!
If you want it too, it will be released June 13th nationwide in stores and online. I am very very excited!

The shaka goes clear back to the 1930's. It is a form of greeting meaning don't worry be happy, hang loose or aloha. You can see in almost all of the group pictures of missionaries they are "shakaing", is that a word. Bro. C. told us there is a story of a man who had his first three fingers taken off in an accident and so he would wave with his thumb and pinky up and that was how the shaka got started. Anyway, I just thought I would give you a little insight into the shaka.

text: Tiny Houses Sustainability Week: Re-Think Small By Chris Harwood • Sep 6, 2016 Nicolás Boullosa [via Flickr] The annual Lake Superior Harvest Festival at the Bayfront Park is just around the corner. We kick off KUMD's Sustainability Week with a conversation with Claire Hintz, the director of Lake Superior Harvest Festival, about what will be at the festival, notably tiny houses, an innovative and popular new way to practice sustainability. "How normal is that?" First tenant of Center City tiny house is finding life ... normal. Finally. By Lisa Johnson • Apr 12, 2016 ©Center City Housing On that warm, sunny Saturday a few weeks ago, Rick Klun stopped by to visit the resident of Center City's first tiny house. The woman, who had been homeless for ten years and living in a shelter, was entertaining her daughter, and the pair had plans to head up the shore to pick agates.

You can book up to seven days in advance and at least 2 hours before you travel. You may need to be a bit flexible on times but they even take bikes. A positive response to rural transport needs!

Nov 30: Wrapping up 30 days of shoes
Originally uploaded by Another Good Thing
It's cold here today. I had to turn on the heat when I got up at 4:30 to write. The dogs were sleeping curled in balls nose to tail with the lab tucking his front paw over his eyes as I turned on the light.
So I chose this Spring shoe. Ann Marino's Field of Dreams. I like that. Do you ever notice the names of your shoes? I wonder how that works exactly? I mean, are there committees? Or does the designer come up with the name and that's that?
I used to sit at my desk in high school and draw designs of clothes and shoes in a ratty old notebook, the cover of which had various boy's names scratched out of crooked hearts.
I came up with the belly chain before they were selling them on the beaches of Saint Tropez, hung edging from my jean hems before it was cool and made the wraparound belt my staple.
If everyone else was wearing Timberlands and overalls, I didn't. if they said red was in, I mixed gray and pink. I only conformed when I had to wear the cheerleading uniform on Fridays, but even then, my socks were rolled tighter and my skirt shorter. I wasn't a rebellious dresser. My Mom was way too strict. We could only wear jeans one day a week, which forced me to be creative with dresses and skirts and pants- unlike my daughter- but she's still young.
Over the years, my dreams changed, but I still enjoy fashion- affordable fashion and follow Project Runway religiously, cheering for the next designer to make their own Field of Dreams.

About Albert Schweitzer:
Albert Schweitzer was a German—and later French—theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary in Africa, also known for his historical work on Jesus. He was born in the province of Alsace-Lorraine, at that time part of the German Empire, though he considered himself French[citation needed] and wrote mostly in French.

As a parent--although of course I'd prefer my children to continue believing that I know it all, for as long as possible--I do realize that my education is an ongoing process. As such, I'm currently studying 1st grade (for the second time, in case I missed anything a few years ago) and 4th grade (to catch up on what I might have missed since I was in elementary school...in the 70's...yikes!) The great news is: the alphabet and numbers we use are PRECISELY the same as when I was a kid! The bad news is: you guessed it, absolutely everything else seems to have changed. Here's just a small sample of Education in the New Millennium: there's no "borrowing" or "carrying" digits in math problems; it's "regrouping" (and honestly, it makes perfect sense when you learn it this way...along with your 6-year old). Derek recently finished a science unit that involved identifying distinguishing features of fingerprints (that'll reveal who made off with your favorite pencil, right?), and Riley regaled us tonight with the information that "cotton and polyester are not waterproof, but wool and nylon are!" (I hope they were using fabric swatches, and not each others' clothing to test this!)
Okay, that covers math and science, which I suppose we should expect to have evolved, with updated research, new technology, etc. But I thought I could count on good old reading and writing. Those are familiar, constant subjects, unchanged by time...aren't they? Well, I sauntered into 4th grade to volunteer one day, holding onto exactly that comfortable assumption. I sat and listened attentively (being a good role model, you know) while Derek's teacher reviewed a short story with the class. She was about to dismiss them to go do their written assignment, when she held up a finger for one last reminder: "Remember when analyzing the story, be sure to use "Swibus"! she said brightly. Wait, I'm sorry, WHAT? I don't think I have a Swibus. Am I supposed to? Actually it sounds kind of painful...aargh, they're going to throw me out of 4th grade! (fortunately, all this was Internal Parental Meltdown.) And I had been doing so well up until then!
Since I was supposed to be assisting these 9-year olds, guiding them in the writing process, shaping their young minds, as it were...I hastily cornered Mrs. W and hissed out of the corner of my mouth, hopefully too quietly to be heard by the students, "Um, what the heck is a "Swibus?" She grinned reassuringly and explained: "It's a way to retell the most important details of a story. S.W.B.S. Somebody (the main character) Wants (their motivation) But (the major problem confronting them) So (what they do to resolve the issue)." (I guess since 4th graders are just so darn cool, they made an abbreviation to remember it; you know, "Hey, have you finished your SWBS, dude"!) Oh, well when you put it that way, it's not so so daunting--who's afraid of the big, bad Swibus?
I was relieved that I wasn't suddenly losing my hearing--or my mind--in the middle of the 4th grade...and I was even more pleased when Riley brought his homework home on Monday and I saw the instructions: "read your story, then write about Somebody Wants But So." Oh, sure, Swibus! We're all over it!

CNN – 6-year-old missing after balloon lands in Colorado
Sent from email@example.com's mobile device from http://www.cnn.com.
UPDATE: 09/19/09 – Officials are now (finally) calling the whole thing a hoax, with charges pending. No more coverage please…
6-year-old missing after balloon lands in Colorado
A balloon that was set adrift by a 6-year-old boy from his parents' Colorado home was found empty, CNN affiliate KMGH said, citing a police report.
The balloon landed south of Prospect Springs, near Colorado Springs.
The boy was not inside the helium aircraft when it landed, KMGH reported.
A sibling saw the boy get into the craft Thursday morning. Officials were concerned that the boy may have fallen out of it, an undersheriff said.
Margie Martinez of the Weld County Sheriff's Office said a sibling saw Falcon Heene climb into the basket before the balloon took off from his parents' home.
Because the door on the balloon was unlocked, it's possible the boy had fallen out, Martinez said.
The balloon appeared to be a saucer-shaped, Mylar-coated helium balloon, similar to a party balloon.
The helium balloon had been tethered to the boy's family home, the Larimer County Sheriff's Department said. The boy got into the craft Thursday morning and undid the rope anchoring it.
The department said the dome-shaped balloon is 20 feet long and 5 feet high.
"The structure at the bottom of the balloon that the boy is in is made of extremely thin plywood and won't withstand any kind of a crash at all," said Erik Nilsson, Larimer County emergency manager, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.
A dispatcher received a call Thursday morning, and emergency services personnel were contacted, Larimer County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Kathy Davis said.

I think this was a practical joke, simply for a publicity stunt. This family has appeared on Wife Swap and the father was a crazed mess, yelling, and acting out as a child. Children will be children but when the reporters asked the little boy why he did it, "he replied something about Daddy." Notice the Dad drops his head in hopes that the boy will say the correct thing.

Amarillo Museum of Art (AMoA) presents the Amarillo College / West Texas A&M University Student / Faculty Exhibition March 25 through April 10, 2011. There will be an opening reception on Friday, March 25 with a Gallery Talk at 6:30 p.m. followed by a reception from 7 – 8:30 p.m. Wine and hors d'oeuvres are provided by the AMoA Alliance, the Museum's supporting organization.
For over 38 years the Amarillo College and the West Texas A&M University Visual Arts Departments have enjoyed this partnership with AMoA that showcases the best of current works of students and faculty. Students learn to prepare work for exhibition and gain a sense of pride in sharing their work with the community in the professional setting of the museum.
AMoA offers free student membership (with showing of I.D.) to all AC and West Texas A&M University students. AMoA also includes students in special events, such as the Ladd Lecture series. Art Professors of both institutions take classes to the museum to view and discuss current exhibitions. Vicky Taylor-Gore, AC Art Professor, stated, "Seeing art work in person is a much more enriching experience for students then simply seeing it reproduced in a textbook."
Museum hours are Tuesday – Friday from 10 – 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 5 p.m. AMoA is located on the Amarillo College Washington Street campus at 2200 South Van Buren with entrance through the Fine Arts Plaza.

Wednesday Wisdom is full of facts and tales!
Come by each week to learn something that I learned and want to share with you.
This week I went to Target to use my target coupons to buy Johnson bar soap and baby q-tips (I only buy when I need them or can get them close to free). I saw that the Johnson bar soap was on sale for 1.26 and 1-tips for 1.46 (or close to it). I planned on getting two of each even though I only had two $1 off Johnson toiletries. When i got to the register the cashier scanned both coupons, one beeped (it didn't go through), he looked at it and sort of looked my way and told me my total and put both coupons in the coupon accordion! I was astonished! He didn't tell me nor attempt to see why it didn't go through. I got so upset, but said nothing because I didn't want to get him fired or anything. So I paid him and then kindly asked him if he could give me back the coupon that didn't go through. He stood there for a second, looking at me, not knowing what to say while I was looking at the receipt to double check. I then showed him the receipt and said, "See? Only one coupon scanned because I only got one $1.00 off here on the receipt." I offered him the receipt and he looked at it, even though he knew I was right, and said, "Oh, you're right." He didn't offer to try to re-scan and I said thank you and that I didn't appreciate him trying to fool a coupon mom like that. I walked out the store proudly! When I got home I emailed Target and have yet to receive a response. I will update when I do.
Here are some shopping tips for you gals & guys from Eversave.
Are You Supermarket Savvy? Test Your Grocery Smarts
By Julia Gaynor
How smart of a shopper are you? There are certain "supermarket tricks" that savvy shoppers use to save big, but what are they – and do you know the fact from fiction? Test your supermarket smarts in this true or false test.
True or False? To get the freshest milk and other products out of the refrigerated dairy case, reach towards the back because that's where they put the newest (aka freshest) items.
True. Whether they stock from the front or back of the case, the best way to tell if something's fresh is to check the expiration date. But, if all of the dates are the same, the items in the back will be "freshest" because they're furthest from the door – which is always being open and shut by customers.
True or False? To get extra savings, wait to buy products the day they expire.
False. Unless you plan on using them within hours, you're taking a pretty big risk buying soon-to-expire food. If the groceries rot before you have a chance to eat them, you've wasted the entire cost of your purchase.
True or False? The "end cap" items at the end of supermarket aisles are always the best buys.
False. Sometimes, those items are on sale, but sometimes, they're just the ones the store managers want you to buy. Look carefully to make sure they're really on sale before adding those items to your cart.
True or False? The cheapest items are usually on the lowest shelves.
True. This is a supermarket tactic is tried and true, and even if your store doesn't use it, it's used often enough for us to suggest that you don't ignore those bottom shelves! You never know what you'd find down there…
True or False? Even though they're on sale, dented cans should be avoided.
True. It's tempting to look at a dented can of tuna that's over half off and think, "What harm could a little dent do?" The truth is, a little dent could do a lot of harm, potentially letting air into your food and causing food-borne botulism. So, to be on the safe side, steer clear of dented cans and find your bargins elsewhere.
True or False? It's always cheaper to buy in bulk.
True. Of course, this is definitely true when buying non-perishable items, and particularly if your family includes more than one person. But don't buy perishables in bulk or you could be wasting – not savings.
Please feel free to offer your shopping tips and advice you use when visiting your local supermarket.
My tip is to visit your deli regularly and make nice with the Deli Man! On occasion he/she will put an extra slice or two after he's already measured... he cut too much anyways and he/she
knows I'll be back to buy more. Always say thank you and take his suggestions! Thanks HEB.

Thou shalt not divert public money
Re: "Thou shalt smite vouchers," June 26 Ed Quillen column.
Who should make the decision about whether I contribute to a religious organization? The state, a school district, or me? Most Americans wouldn't have any hesitation in answering No. 3. But the state and the Douglas County schools have decided they're going to do the answering by giving my public tax dollars to 500 "public school" students so they can attend private religious schools.
It's a scheme designed to scam taxpayers; it's prohibited by Colorado law; and it will harm our public schools. This calls for a trio of "smites" for each of the defendants in the ACLU's lawsuit to end this wrong-headed plan. They've conspired to break one of the most important commandments of our democracy: Thou shalt not divert public money to private interests.
Christian Moreau, Highlands Ranch
