About Crystal Catalyst® Technology…
Robert McKusick developed a new Advanced Ceramic Material called Crystal Catalyst® Technology over 30 years ago.
The material is ALL NATURAL, containing a special blend of quartz crystal, clays and rare earths. These organic substance are natural radiation filters.
Crystal Catalyst® takes all this good stuff from Nature and combines them in a special firing process that synergistically boosts their filtering abilities.
We don't usually think Nature can be improved upon, but Crystal Catalyst® is the exception!
I have used Crystal Catalyst® Resonators since 1991. They are truly amazing. Each resonator has its specific uses and they all perform amazingly well in removing harmful electrical as well as magnetic and geopathic energies. One day science will understand how these devices function. In the meantime I will continue to use them with excellent success.
-Cecil Nichols, Retired Research Engineer, NASA*, Langley Research Center, VA

Almost-flawless Reds as good as any team in league
The Cincinnati Reds are evolving right in front of our eyes. At the moment, there probably isn't a better team in the National League.
Since May 30, they've gone 25-13 to go from 8 1/2 games back to 3 1/2 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.
The Cincinnati Reds are evolving right in front of our eyes. At the moment, there probably isn't a better team in the National League.
Since May 30, they've gone 25-13 to go from 8 1/2 games back to 3 1/2 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.
Offensively, only the Brewers have scored more runs in this stretch. Pitching? Only the Nationals and Dodgers have a lower team ERA.
Teams evolve during a six-month season, and during this time of so much competitive balance, playoff berths will be decided by the teams playing their best in September.
Still, the Reds are a team with very few weaknesses. Very few? Try none. At least, none at the moment.
Let's count the reasons.
First, there's rookie manager Bryan Price. He won widespread praise around the game during 14 years as a big league pitching coach, including the last four with Cincinnati.
Price's track record was as that of a great tactician, communicator and listener, someone who gained the trust of his players. Reds general manager Walt Jocketty planned to cast a wider net in his search for Dusty Baker's replacement.
But a couple of long talks with Price convinced Jocketty he had the right man already on his staff. And Price -- honest, consistent and rock solid -- has passed every test with flying colors in setting the right tone.
There's also rookie leadoff man Billy Hamilton. Back in Spring Training, he seemed to be more of a novelty. Price kept telling reporters they shouldn't sell the 23-year-old kid short, that he might end up doing almost everything well.
There simply was no track record. Hamilton hit .256 and struck out 102 times at Triple-A last season, and to think he could jump to the big leagues and play the way he has defies logic. Yet look at him now.
Defensively, Hamilton is the best center fielder in baseball. This is the part of his game the Reds figured would come around first.
What they couldn't have known is that Hamilton would look so comfortable at home plate so quickly. And he has gotten consistently better.
Hamilton's on-base percentage was .280 in April, .301 in May and .348 in June. During Cincinnati's 25-13 stretch, it's .340.
Even during Spring Training, when Hamilton was seeing big league pitching for the first time, he never seemed overmatched. Considering the 37 stolen bases and the impact plays he has made in the outfield, he's everything the Reds hoped for and a whole lot more.
Hats off to Jocketty, who once more has shown why he's one of the best in the business. When we'd ask him if he was giving Hamilton more than he could handle at this point in his career, Jocketty essentially would say, "Trust me."
Jocketty also believed in catcher Devin Mesoraco, Cincinnati's first-round pick in 2007. Jocketty decided his time had come, as well.
Check. Mesoraco is hitting .313 and will be a member of the NL All-Star team. His .995 OPS is tops among NL catchers, and only Evan Gattis has more home runs. Only Miguel Montero has more RBIs.
And there's Todd Frazier. His 17 home runs are tops among NL third basemen, and in just his third full big league season, he has done everything well.
Combine those three with Jay Bruce, Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto (who is on the disabled list), and the Reds' lineup is as deep and as impressive as any.
There may not be a better rotation in the NL Central now that Mat Latos is back from the disabled list. Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon are 15-5 during the hot stretch, Homer Bailey is coming off his two best starts of the season and Latos has a 2.41 ERA in five starts.
Closer Aroldis Chapman finished his 18th save on Tuesday with a 102-mph fastball, and there are good arms in front of him.
That the Reds are poised to make a run at their fourth playoff appearance in five years is a surprise to no one. That they've gotten 11 victories from Simon is one of those little pieces of good news that every contending team must have.
Teams like the Reds, who can't outspend every other team, must be able to replenish themselves from within, and that's why the emergence of Hamilton, Mesoraco and Simon (a waiver claim) has been so important.
With Bruce and Votto hitting below their career averages, and with Bailey having had some bumps in the roads, Cincinnati could still get better.
But the Reds have already played their way back into the middle of things, and in a division in which the Brewers, Cardinals and Pirates almost certainly aren't going away, it could be a chaotic September.
At the moment, though, the Reds are as good as anyone.

Greene victorious in first Major League start
CLEVELAND -- There wasn't much time for Shane Greene to prepare for his first Major League start, summoned on short notice after the Yankees shuffled their pitching rotation. The rookie right-hander came ready for the challenge, providing exactly what his club was looking for.
Greene pitched six innings of two-run ball to log his first career victory, and All-Star Dellin Betances locked down the last six outs for his first career save as the Yankees defeated the Indians, 5-3, on Monday at Progressive Field.View Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- There wasn't much time for Shane Greene to prepare for his first Major League start, summoned on short notice after the Yankees shuffled their pitching rotation. The rookie right-hander came ready for the challenge, providing exactly what his club was looking for.
Greene pitched six innings of two-run ball to log his first career victory, and All-Star Dellin Betances locked down the last six outs for his first career save as the Yankees defeated the Indians, 5-3, on Monday at Progressive Field.View Full Game Coverage
"It's a dream come true, no question about that," Greene said. "It took the nerves off pretty early when we got a little bit of run support. I didn't have to be perfect. It definitely helped."
The Yankees pounded Cleveland starter Justin Masterson for five runs in two-plus innings, providing the cushion that Greene needed to calm his nerves. Brian McCann, Ichiro Suzuki and Brett Gardner each stroked three hits as the Yankees won for the fourth time in five games.
"We're swinging the bats well," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's been up and down during the course of the season, but we're showing what we're capable of doing. I know our pitchers like it."
With closer David Robertson having pitched in three of the last four games, Betances -- voted to his first career All-Star Game via the player vote -- was asked to handle the last two innings. He pitched around a single, getting Nick Swisher to fly to right field for the final out.
"It's pretty cool," Betances said. "I was just trying to go out there and keep it the same."
The 25-year-old Greene was pressed into duty after the Yankees dealt left-hander Vidal Nuno to the D-backs on Sunday, receiving right-hander Brandon McCarthy in exchange. McCarthy will make his Yankees debut on Wednesday.
Greene's Minor League numbers weren't sensational, as he was 5-2 with a 4.61 ERA in 15 games (13 starts) at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he'd been sharp of late. This marked his fourth stint in the big leagues, and just his second appearance in a game.
"We've said all along, this kid has a lot of talent," Girardi said. "Sometimes it's just figuring out what makes you successful and how you have to pitch. I don't think he tried to do too much, and I think that's pretty impressive, too."
Greene was knocked around in his April 24 debut against the Red Sox in relief, allowing three runs in a third of an inning. He said that any jitters were dismissed after the second inning on Monday, and it showed in the results.
"Seeing a lot of familiar faces definitely helps, too," Greene said. "It was a little bit of a roller-coaster ride earlier in the season, but it feels good to be here."
Leaning on his sinker to produce ground-ball outs, Greene held the Indians hitless until Swisher homered with two outs in the fifth inning. Asdrubal Cabrera also had a run-scoring single off Greene, who permitted four hits in all, walking none with two strikeouts.
"It's the first time you ever see a guy," Swisher said. "He's always got the advantage first time through the lineup. I thought second time through, we started seeing him a little better."
Girardi even trusted Greene to work through trouble in the sixth, getting Carlos Santana to fly out representing the tying run. It is possible that Greene showed enough to earn another start.
"That's obviously going to be a topic of discussion," Girardi said. "We haven't made any decisions about what we're doing moving forward, but we'll figure it out here pretty quick."
Masterson didn't have his good stuff, tossing just 54 pitches over two-plus frames before Indians manager Terry Francona had seen enough. Cleveland's bullpen was excellent in relief, including three scoreless innings by Carlos Carrasco, but the damage was already done.
"It wasn't real fun after the first," Masterson said. "The first inning was real fun."
Brian Roberts and Gardner logged run-scoring hits in a three-run second inning, a frame that also featured a bases-loaded walk to Derek Jeter. The damage could have been greater if not for a sharp 3-2 double play turned by Santana at first base.
"We were a couple inches from scoring a whole bunch," Girardi said.
After Masterson exited in the third, Ichiro knocked home a run with an infield hit and Francisco Cervelli reached on a run-scoring fielder's choice.
With a tired bullpen, Girardi said that his plan was to go from Greene to David Huff for as long as he could. Huff worked an inning, so Betances needed to rattle off the last six outs. He proved to be just as dominant in the ninth as he has been earlier in the game.
"It didn't feel different, not today," Betances said. "I feel like the experience has helped me a lot. If you would have told me that last year, I'm not sure how I would have reacted. But this year, the experience has helped me a lot."

Seems well thought out, but I think you need an adapter to attach the mainline to the manifold, and an endcap. Rough calculations put the prices you list in your post at about $36. Adding the additional parts brings it to $44. I build 1 inch PVC manifolds for about $7 in parts.
You didn't mention why replacement is necessary, but another solution may work.
I rarely replace a valvebody, usually from freeze damage. I have had to replace gaskets, solenoids,and bonnets before. I usually unscrew the top of the offending valve, and replace the whole top. No pipe problems, and a lot less time ( and less money than replacing the whole manifold)
I build my manifolds with male adapters on each side of the fFPT valves. I leave enough room between the valves, do I can turn the valve if I need to re[place it. To keep 3 valves in one box, I place them close enough to be able to be screwed on and off, withthe top (Bonnet and solenoid)removed . Then I place the bonnet back on.
I had a customer with a 3 valve setup at the absolute low point of his yard. Replaced the valves twice, so used slip joints on the down valve side, which made unscrewing the cracked valve body much easier. No cutting and glueing. Finally convinced him to move the valves but a drain in its place.
Moral, fix it right, maintain it, and no more repair is necessary. So if your new manifold will do that for you, Go For It; Otherwise hopefully my suggestions wil accomplish that for you.
Hope that helps, let us know how it goes.

My only concerns with using this approach are the potential for these fittings/unions leaking and that if I do have to replace a valve that the fittings/unions will be easy to realign and tighten. I guess we'll see...

When I was in the seventh grade, my English teacher assigned the following poem to our class to learn and to recite from memory for a grade. We all moaned and groaned about it at the time, but I, being a budding poet, quickly became excited by the challenge. I did a great job of memorizing and reciting the poem, and received an A+ on the assignment, however, at that young age, the words of this insightful piece of writing were just that to me - words. It wasn't until later in life, as I began to truly develop into the person I am, that the full meaning of this poem was revealed to me. By that time, I'd developed as a Christian woman, and not only that, but my reputation as an honest, forthright, helpful, and kind person was acknowledged by all, even those who didn't particularly consider me their "cup of tea." When I really understood what Rudyard Kipling was getting at, I realized that, even though I didn't "get it" back in seventh grade, I've lived my life according to this mantra, and so I proudly share his words, with one slight revision, in the space below. Decades after being given the assignment, I can still recite this poem by heart, but now, not only do I understand what the words mean; I live them, everyday.
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting, too.
If you can wait, and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet, don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
If you dream, and not make dreams your master
If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools,
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss,
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the will which says to them, "Hold on!"
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth, and everything that's in it,
And which is more, this race of life, you will have WON.
* The bold-italicized words were revised/added by me in 2006, when I prepared copies of this poem to give out to friends of mine at a private party. I wanted people of both genders to be able to personally relate to the poem, and not to be thrown off by Mr. Kipling's original ending, which reads, "you'll be a man, my son."
Blessings to all,

LAKE VIEW TERRACE – Human remains were found today near a shallow grave that was spotted two weeks ago in Big Tujunga Canyon, sheriff's deputies said.
Homicide detectives and a sheriff's search and rescue team were sent up Big Tujunga Canyon Road, about 3 miles into the Angeles National Forest, above the Lake View Terrace section of Los Angeles, the Sheriff's Department said.
Deputies went to the same rural area Jan. 9 on a report from hikers who said they found an apparent shallow grave – but no human remains – at Big Tujunga Canyon Road, mile marker 2.92, according to a department statement.
Detectives were waiting for the arrival of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Special Operations Response Team today.
Sheriff's homicide detectives asked anyone with any information regarding the human remains to call them at (323) 890-5500.

Well if I can't drink anymore, I'm going to have to supplement my daily alcoholic beverage(s) with something just as delicious…
Hmmmmm….after much thought, I still have not discovered an adequate replacement for the libations that once brought so much joy into my life. I guess my only option is to add alcohol to my cooking instead of consuming it in liquid form.
This grilled pork with apricot-brandy glaze (recipe below) does just the trick. The small amount of hooch in the glaze is still enough to keep hair on my chest, but not enough to cause the little Nugget to be born with the IQ of a toad.
For those like me who are also suffering from an insufficient alcoholic intake, may I suggest some additional substitutions:
Beer can chicken (beer turns into steam; steam keeps chicken moist while grilling)
Tiramisu (just a wee bit of rum in the syrup!)
Beer sponge baths (no explanation needed)
By the way, I apologize for the long break in Fancy Toast posts. I soon hope to be posting more regularly! The constant nausea of the first trimester has passed, and I can finally look at photographs of food and be hungry instead of queasy. Now when I want to feel queasy I just look at photographs of myself in seventh grade when my perm was halfway growed-out and the top half of my hair was straight and the bottom half of my hair was a holy mess of floppy squiggles.
Pork Chops with Apricot-Brandy Glaze
~ adapted from Grilling by Chuck Williams and Denis Kelly
This is my standby grilled pork recipe. Delicious. Never fails to yield juicy, slightly spicy pork chops with the perfect amount of sweetness from the caramelized glaze.
8 pork chops, at least 1-inch thick (I prefer bone-in for the juiciness)
Spice Rub:
1 tablespoon sweet paprika (I used a combination of sweet and smoked)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For the apricot-brandy glaze:
½ cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons brandy or apricot brandy
1 tablespoon dry mustard
juice of 1 lemon
Mix all ingredients of spice rub together in a bowl.
Rub generously on both sides of each pork chop.
To make the glaze, heat the jam in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the brandy, mustard, and lemon juice. Remove from heat and set aside. When ready to use, reheat while whisking contantly.
Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat, turning once, about 3-4 minutes per side. Move the chops to an unheated part of the grill and brush the glaze onto both sides. Cover the grill and cook for 2-4 minutes. Pork chops should be just faintly pink inside. Try your hardest not to overcook them, as they become dry in just a few too many seconds over the coals. (My husband never grills without his trusty digital thermometer. He lets the pork chops come to 150 degrees Fahrenheit and then he lets them rest for a few minutes under tin foil.)

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Dec. 10, 2008 - A deployed Soldier here is getting a taste of home for the holidays, just as his father did 40 years earlier.
The small, artificial Christmas tree on Army Col. Roger Nell's desk is the same one his father displayed on his desk in 1967. Since then, the tree has served alongside father or son on three wartime missions and six Christmas deployments.
"My wife has sent me the tree this year, as is tradition," Nell, command judge advocate with Task Force Warrior, said.
Nell's mother, Ramona, bought the tree in 1967 at the Panama Canal Zone post exchange for her husband, Army Staff Sgt. Robert Nell, who was serving in the Vietnam War. In early November, Ramona sent the tree, decorated with hard candies, to her husband at the public information office in Saigon, where the sergeant handled the credentialing of news media.
"Our little tree has been a source of joy for our family and a way to be together when [we're] so many miles apart," Robert Nell said.
In 1969, Ramona sent the tree on its second deployment to a hostile zone; her husband was assigned to the Military Assistance Advisory Group Thailand in Bangkok. Robert Nell worked in the protocol office, coordinating visits with elected officials, including then-President Richard M. Nixon.
"At the time, I never knew how many lives would be touched by the joy this little tree radiated over the next few decades," Robert said.
The tree stayed stateside until 1992, when Ramona sent it to her son, who was deployed to South Camp, Sinai, Egypt. The next year, Nell's mother again sent her son the tree, this time to Camp Howze, South Korea, while he served with the U.S. Army Trial Defense Service and the 2nd Infantry Division.
The tree deployed for its second wartime mission in 2003. Nell's wife, Rhonda, sent the tree to Qayarah Airfield, Iraq, where Nell was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division's, 1st Brigade in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
This year marks the third wartime deployment for the tree.
A pair of scissors sits beneath the tree in Nell's office. He welcomes all visitors to his office to cut off a piece of the tree as a holiday souvenir and a symbol of a shared experience with the Nell family.
"My prayer for the tree is for it to be allowed permanent retirement after this Christmas mission so that neither of my children will receive this tree in a foreign land from their mother," Nell said.

I was wondering if it's possible to request a 2-month contract extension. Here's what i'm hoping, and this would be kind of ideal for me...i plan on asking my employer if he'd like to extend my contract for 2 months, but paying my "severence" or 12-month bonus or whatever it is at the end of the 12th month instead of at the end of the new 14-month extension. Is this kind of arrangement feasible. My boss is pretty easy going and i can only think that it would be in his interest to extend the contract as i seem to be doing well with the teaching (although definitely burning out), and for financial reasons, he could postpone getting another native teacher for another 2 months. Is this kind of thing possible in a nice legal fashion? What are the possible implications of such a proposal? Also, will he be offended that i request the severence pay at the end of the 12-month original contract? All opinions would be appreciated...particularly if anyone's done this kind of thing before...as i'm sure some must have. thanks in advance... the mighty tancred.

Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2003 7:56 pm Post subject: I extended my first contract by about one month, and the experience was overall a nightmare. This was due to the fact that I didn't know what to look out for. It's very legal to do. It just requires another trip to immigration. There's a fee(mine was 60,000, but I had a multiple entry visa), and a little bit of paperwork, but it's easier than the original visa application. The problems come in when immigration is supposed to stamp something, or write something, somewhere. Make absolutely sure that you get some physical statement that states your extended visa date. Don't leave the immigration office until you get it, either. This was the only reason that my contract extension was a nightmare; otherwise, everything went well.

Back to top Crazy OzJoined: 10 Jan 2003Location: Ilsan, Korea Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:08 am Post subject: Tancred, The short answer is yes. Your boss has to submit a new contract, letter of continued sponsorship, business rego/tax/hogwan papers, your passport and alien card + 30,000won. The letter of sponsorhip can be for any period up to 12 months, so that is where the time factor applies. My boss had actually forgot to fill that part in, and immigration asked me how long I would like to expend for! (5 seconds came to mind immediately, but we settled on 12 months). I did the lot myself in about 5 mins. Make sure the Letter of Sponsorship is Notorised otherwise Immigration send you off to get it done, and that can be a hassle with little or no Korean skills (me!). Still crazy, still here.

Now here's a YouTube video you don't see every day. In this video uploaded by GiveMeBlackandWhite, a Maryland man named Samuel Seymour, who witnessed Lincoln's assassination, turns up on the 50's game show "I've Got A Secret."
No, not JFK. Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln.
I swear, every time people complain about the irreverence of most YouTube videos, I try to remember things like this, which I never would have seen without it. It's been online for a little while now, which makes me wonder how much other amazing crap like this there is out there.
Everybody ready for the weekend? What are you playing? What are you looking forward to playing? Gonna see any movies? I'm watching the first season of Homeland, which is pretty darned good, and I want to see Argo and Looper. And okay, I sort of want to see Pitch Perfect, too. What, sue me.
Talk about all that stuff or anything else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and a great weekend!

Q: My husband is a retired businessman and is used to being in charge. My problem is that he likes to do almost everything with me. Prior to his retirement, I had my own work, space, schedule and rhythm. Now I am feeling a bit suffocated. Do you have any suggestions on how to help my husband understand my position? — H.G.
A: Dear H.G.:
The timing of your question is perfect. The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 9) ran a major article in their Encore section entitled "Why too Much Togetherness Can Ruin Retirement" by Maryann Vandervelde.
The author suggests that observing toddlers at play can give us a clue. Envision the boy playing with toy trucks and the girl building a castle with a shovel and pail — no gender stereotypes intended. They are content, playing quietly or babbling. They aren't fighting except if they both want the same toy at the same time.
This behavior is referred to as parallel play: two children engrossed in separate activities – next to one another. The author suggests that parallel play may be the key to happiness in later life. Note at some point the kiddies do need to learn about sharing the same toy.
Parallel play for retired couples means each mate is engaged in an independent activity that can be similar to the mate's, but not influenced or shared. That allows each person freedom to explore and grow. When coming together, there is something new to share.
Vandervelde suggests ways parallel play can benefit partners during the retirement years.
Dinner conversations are more interesting. Have you observed older couples in a restaurant who are not speaking, just eating quietly? They may have nothing to discuss and may be bored with one another.
Affirming each could survive as a single. At some time one member of a couple will be alone. With the average age of widowhood in the U.S. at 56 years, being alone for a short time is good practice. Also, it's affirming to know that each can effectively handle finances, make social plans, drive, boil water, stay connected and even travel independently.
Space and time alone can be a gift. The absence of work pressures provides more time to think. The alone time allows one to ask questions such as, "What is important to me at this life stage?" "What's on my bucket list and what will I do to check off the items?" "What passions can I revisit or what are my new ones?" A more sobering question is, "If this was the last day of my life, how would I live that day?"
In 2005, Steve Jobs delivered a commencement address to Stanford university graduates. He stated, "For the past 33 years, I have looked myself in the mirror every morning and asked myself, 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'no' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
Absence can make the heart grow fonder. Time away from each other can foster new appreciation. You might recall that business trip you took when your husband assumed the domestic duties – getting the kids to school, packing lunches, filling out school forms and driving car pools. Wow – was he happy when you returned. Not only did he miss what you did, he missed you. The reverse is true when a husband or partner returns from a trip – how great to see your mate and catch up.
To get the conversation started, Vandervelde suggests a few questions. "How do we define happiness at this life stage?" "How supportive are we of each other?" "In what ways do we practice parallel play?" "How do we rate our levels of rigidity?" Begin your conversation in a quiet place over a cup of coffee or take a beautiful walk and talk.
She reminds us that "parallel play in a partnership does not suggest extreme emotional separation from each other." "If you want total freedom, it's important to examine your motivation," she adds.
Consider seeing a counselor or therapist if the conversation is too difficult. Also check your community for support groups that discuss later life issues.
Thank you H.G for your important question. And best wishes in resolving "too much togetherness."

SharePoint Portal
SWC is transitioning to a SharePoint Portal for storing all committee documents, public folders and internal resources in one location. SharePoint is a web platform that integrates with Microsoft Office and offers many capabilities for district wide collaboration and document management.
Accessing SWC's SharePoint Portal
You can access the SharePoint Portal from on or off-campus by using your Internet browser on a PC, Mac or mobile device: https://portal.swccd.edu. You will use your email/network username and password to log in. From off-campus, or not using a staff machine, you will need to enter sccd\ in front of your username in order to log in.
Although SharePoint 2010 works with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari, it is a Microsoft product that works best with Internet Explorer and Silverlight.
In order to prevent SharePoint from continually requesting your login credentials to view new documents, the portal can be made a "trusted site" by entering the URL in IE (see directions).
SharePoint 2010 Training
SharePoint 2010 is a robust product and our staff development office offers a two-part training course. Please check the calendar or contact the staff directly with any questions. In addition, there are many online resources that can help you transition to SharePoint 2010.

Most families have many holiday traditions: for some it's about the meal you have, for others it's about the way you exchange gifts or where you go for the holidays. For many homes, leaving cookies and milk for Santa is a must.
When my best friend and her husband started their family, they started the tradition of leaving cookies and cheese for Santa. Tillamook Cheese, of course…Santa only deserves the best, right?
So when our son Eli was born, and we set out on creating our own holiday traditions, I'm proud to say that borrowing my friends' idea of leaving cheese for Santa seemed perfect for our family.
Coming up on our fifth year of having little ones in our home, leaving a nice variety of Tillamook Cheese and a tall glass of cold milk is a must (no cookies at our house!). The other day while grocery shopping, I added a brick of Vintage White Extra Sharp Cheddar to the basket and Eli said, "Good job, mom! Santa really likes the cheese with the black label." To which I responded, "Yes, he does." (Only the best for Santa, right?)
This year, Santa has a trampoline and a play kitchen to put together at our house, and we know that he will look forward to enjoying his snack when he gets there…he never leaves any behind!
We've never left something for the reindeer, so I think we'll need to start that next year. Any ideas?
Happy holidays!

Battle of Alberta…game 7?
Slow day at work here, what with Racki going home early sick, other individuals not even coming into work because they are "sick" (you know who you are), Trogdor getting his fancy coffee fix and me doing absolutely nothing. Unless management reads this, then I am working my ass off reviewing these lame documents.
Anyways, with a lack of anything better to talk about…
There has been some debate on my hockey team about this question…so I decided to throw it up in public and see what the people say.
In the following battle, who emerges victorious?

One Pan, Two Plates by Carla Snyder
If you are the type of person who hates eating the same thing for dinner two nights in a row but also doesn't want to spend hours making dinner every single evening, then I think you'll be interested in this new cookbook. One Pan, Two Plates is full of one-pot (or one-skillet!) meals that come together in a flash and won't leave you a lot of leftovers to deal with. Sound like your kind of party? Read on.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Carla Snyder
• Who published it: Chronicle Books
• Number of recipes: 76
• Recipes for right now: Barley Risotto with Sweet Potatoes and Andouille Sausage; Vegetable Biryani; Crispy Sage Pork Cutlets with Couscous, Peas, Figs, and Pistachios; Lamb Korma; Winter Frittata with Escarole, Bacon, and Feta Cheese; Yellow Curry Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes; Miso-Glazed Cod with Wilted Asian Red Cabbage Slaw; Poached Halibut with Chive Gremolata, Brussels Sprouts, and Butterbean Mash
• Other highlights: Speaking as someone who lives in a household of two, I love the idea for this book. Sometimes I get tired of scaling down recipes to suit just my husband and myself — or the converse, weary of eating the same leftovers after the third or fourth day. I am definitely the target audience for One Pan, Two Plates!
The variety of meals covered in this dish makes me rub my hands together with glee. We will not be getting bored any time soon! Snyder brings together classics, like mac n' cheese and braised chicken thighs, with recipes that might be new for your repertoire, like Indian biryani and Thai red curry. The clearly stated "total time" and "hands on time" with each recipe also make it very easy to see what kind of dinner duty I'm signing up for. (Though I'm amused that "Serves 2" is still stated with every single recipe!)
Just a heads up that this is definitely a book for meat-eaters. While every dish is made with plenty of healthy and fresh ingredients, the majority of them have some sort of animal protein — pork, beef, chicken, or seafood — at their center.
• Who would enjoy this book? Folks cooking for just one or two people, cooks wanting some new ideas for dinner
Find the book at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon: One Pan, Two Plates by Carla Snyder (Also available at Barnes & Noble)

Little Monsters
It was Monster Monday over at Sugar Frosted Goodness and I think insects are miniature monsters. That's why humans are so scared of them.

Hello Shun,
if you use the both sentences with no refer to each other, then you are right.
"We have bought many things" = In this sentence you use the present perfect, because you don't have a time when you have bought it. If you put your both sentences together, then it refers to yesterday.
Yesterday we went to a store department. We bought many things.
I hope that helps you
Kind regards,

Tomasini Wins 2014 Melges 32 Audi-Tron Sailing Series Talamone Edition
9 June 2014
Talamone, Italy - It was a dramatic final day of racing in Talamone, Italy with Roberto Tomasini Grinover aboard Robertissima taking the fleet lead from beginning to end for his first big win on the 2014 Melges 32 Audi-Tron Sailing Series circuit. Accompanying Tomasini Grinover was the legendary Vasco Vascotto as tactician and crew members Federico Michetti, Giovanni Cassinari, Gunnar Bahr, Simone Spangaro, Stefano Nicolussi, and Armin Raderbauer.
Delivering a spectacular performance on the final day to finish second overall is Valentin Zavadnikov aboard Synergy GT. Zavadnikov left Day Two in eighth overall, but thanks to an impressive 3-2 Sunday score, he catapulted his team to a very proud podium finish.
Mauro Mocchegiani's Fratelli Giacomel Audi-eTron, Alessandro Rombelli's Azimut by STIG and Fritz Homann on Wilma maintained their respective positions to finish third, fourth and fifth overall.
Over the course of the weekend, Talamone and its people have fascinated all the participants, many of whom have never heard of the ancient Etruscan village located 160 km north of Rome. More than 400 individuals including sailors, technicians, journalists, coaches and chaperones welcomed its stunning conditions.
A very special thanks to Circolo della Vela Talamone for their impeccable hospitality at its unique headquarters based inside the lighthouse of Talamone, which dates back to 1865 and stands on the southern bastion of the walls of Talamone overlooking the sea. It was at this breathtaking location on Saturday, 7 June, the crews enjoyed a dinner hosted by the Circolo della Vela Talamone with typical food and wine of the Maremma.
With the Audi-Tron Sailing Series moving onward to beautiful Lake Garda for the 2014 European Championship on July 17-20 hosted by Fraglia Vela Garda in Riva, Zavadnikov takes the Series lead, just ahead of Mocchegiani and Edoardo Lupi's Torpyone in third.

A couple of months ago, when the Performance Bicycle Group Ride of Excellence was assembling after work, we all noticed Jeff and Chuck wearing a previously unseen kit. It looked lightweight, comfortable and definitely had a pro fit. They were all decked out in the new Louis Garneau Course kit, ready to take it for its first test spin. We all agreed that it looked great and that the test would probably be more effective if we each had our own set of Course jerseys and bibs to test out.
Sadly, this was not to be, so over the next 40 or so miles, the rest of us sweated it out, jerseys were unzipped, and baselayers were cursed while Chuck and Jeff still looked cool as cucumbers. After the ride, they both agreed that it was by far one of the most comfortable kits they'd ever worn. The chamois was incredibly comfortable, the shorts offered amazing compression and stayed in place, and the jersey offered, as Chuck would later say, "absolutely incredible breathability". Indeed, the new Course jerseys are almost transparent, they're so thin. Chuck later tried riding on a 90 degree day in the Louis Garneau Course jersey with a baselayer on, and still found it to be comfortable and cool.
A few days later we got a glimpse of the new Course Aero Helmet, which graced the heads of Tommy V and the Europcar crew at the Tour de France, and the new Course shoes, which feature an all-new fit, razor thin carbon soles and new BOA-style lacing system.
If you'd like to know more about the Course helmet, here's a video from our Learning Center.
These were just the first glances we had of Louis Garneau's new 2014 line up, and everything we've seen since has lived up to the incredibly high standard set by the Course line. Every jersey, every pair of shorts, every helmet and every pair of shoes has been redesigned for a new, sleeker fit, updated graphics, and all-new ergonomics that improve the fit, breathability, and weight of their gear.
If you're looking for a kit that delivers a next-to-skin fit and pro-level performance without the bleeding edge advancements, then check out the Louis Garneau Elite series. The Elite jersey and shorts have the competitive and fast enthusiast rider in mind. For most of us here at Performance, there is at least one of these kits in the quiver. They're excellent for longer rides, fast group rides, racing and everything in between. The next-to-skin fit is super comfy, and the incredible chamois pad keeps you comfortable all day long.
The Louis Garneau Performance line was designed for the enthusiast rider. A more relaxed fit keeps things comfy for those long, wandering rides or for the rider who prefers not to feel like they'll need turpentine to remove their jersey after a ride. But don't let that fool you. This writer has more than a few miles laid down with the Performance jersey and bibs, and has found that they are excellent for high mileage days. The jersey is highly breathable, while the bibs offer plenty of support with a great pad that'll keep you from squirming in the saddle. The updated graphics help take this kit to a new level of finish that always looks great.

The 9600 GT is the darling of the gaming world with its lower power consumption, stellar performance, and ease on the wallet. What happens when the world's leading enthusiast motherboard supplier rolls up its sleeves and gets a little dirty with NVIDIA's price/performance leader? You get the ASUS 9600 GT TOP, an overclocked and beyond the limit of ordinary video card. One glance at the huge heat sink on this card and you know that Asus is serious about its performance. While it does look like something that would be found on a CPU, this beast keeps the G94 core of the 9600 GT nice and cool.
Beyond the heat sink we see that Asus has gone a different route with the color of the PCB, it is a nice bluish-green that sets itself apart from "lesser" 9600 GT brethren. Further differentiating the card from a reference model is the core and memory speed. Coming in with a 70 MHz bump in core speed to 720 MHz, the Asus 9600 GT can walk the walk.
Although there isn't a change in memory speed from the reference card, the 9600 GT benefits the most from the Core and Shader speed increases. The memory on our card is Samsung K4J52324QE-BJ1A 1000MHz rated GDDR3, so if you're into overclocking you should easily be able to get an extra 100MHz since they are clocked at 900MHz.
The video connectors are the standard twin Dual-Link DVI cables with an S-Video style out that can be used with included adaptors to hook it up to an HDTV. Let's take a look at the box and bundle to see what other connections are available. Yes, the DVI connector on the left is Yellow!

This is the real thing.
Developed in the 1800s near Cape Ann, Massachusetts, these authentic Sou'westers were originally designed to offer superior protection against the foul weather that fishermen routinely encountered in the North Atlantic.
Manufactured in Nova Scotia using the same forming process that was used nearly 200 years ago, the polyethylene and cotton hats are now weatherproofed with a more durable black polyurethane coating instead of the traditional linseed-oil/lampblack combination. Comfortably lined with warm flannel cotton, they have large flip-down earflaps and a convenient chinstrap for gale force wind protection.
The upturned brim serves to capture the falling rain and redirect the water flow down the long sloped back of the hat, away from the face and neck. The hats are easily rolled or scrunched up for compact transport or storage.
A centuries-old yet extremely relevant product. Hand washable.

Cinco de Mayo: Taco Soup
This is a Taco Soup recipe I got from Laine, and I really liked it. I made one change (I substituded a can of pinto beans for a can of corn), but otherwise, it was true to form, and truly yummy.
Taco Soup Recipe
2. 1 can of pinto beans, 1 can of corn, 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of stewed tomatoes (chopped), 1 can of rotel, 1 pkg of ranch dressing packaged mix, 1 can of chopped green chilies, 1 c. medium picante sauce. Do not drain any of the juices, just add those right along with all the fixings...this makes is soup.
3. You can cook these together for 45 minutes on high, or turn the crockpot on low for a few hours. I actually tossed the crockpot in the fridge at this point, and then put it out the next morning on low, so it was ready to go when I got home from work. Anything with spices is always better day 2...or 3....or that's what I tell myself, and I tend to believe what I tell myself.
4. Serve with cornbread, OR if you are really feeling wild, toss this over fritoes, and top with cheese and sour cream.

A Week of Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo in Texas is a big deal. Twist our arms, we'll celebrate with our Sister to the South. Pretty much any reason to eat Tex Mex goes to the top of the radar. On the 5th of the May, it's usually were you find me. Really...on the 4th of May you'll find me there...and the 3rd...and the 2nd. (And this from one of the few people in Texas who won't say it's their favorite 'kind' of food). Here's the trick to good Mexican food....I've learned in my travels...never...never...never eat Mexican food away from a border state. I was waiting for my friend to get off work when I went to visit her in Kansas...the other gals and I decided to grab some Mexican food for dinner....they brought out the traditional meal starter-chips and dip...except...the dip came in a ketchup squeeze bottle. We tossed a tip on the table and high tailed it out of there. I know a bad idea when I meet it...in a squirt bottle. I'm sure every location has it's dish...and feels the same. I love eating local and figuring out how :insert local food here: is supposed to taste:. I'd want to eat local if I visited :your: state...and if :you: came here, I'd insist you try the Mexican. So, from a native Texan, until you come for a visit, here are some recipes and projects. All the links, inspiration etc are attached to each link when you open them.

WASHINGTON (AP) - John McCain is pouncing on Barack Obama's call for shifting more wealth from richer Americans to poorer ones, likening it to socialism. His remarks win applause at campaign events. But they ignore the nation's long tradition of redistributing huge amounts of wealth through tax-and-spending policies.
Placing a heavier burden on the wealthy has been a cornerstone of the federal income tax since its inception in 1913. Under its "progressive" formula, in which the wealthy pay higher tax rates, the richest 5 percent of Americans now pay well over half of all federal income taxes.
Forty percent of Americans pay no federal income tax at all, although it is the government's largest revenue source. Meanwhile, they benefit from various social programs aimed at low-income households, another feature of a system that redistributes money.
Conservatives, citing such statistics, say the country needs no more top-to-bottom shifts of wealth.
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, has hammered the issue since Obama, talking to an Ohio plumber, said he would raise taxes on the wealthy and cut them for lower-wage workers, adding: "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Many Americans think that sounds "a lot like socialism," McCain said in a radio address Saturday. "Barack Obama's tax plan would convert the IRS into a giant welfare agency," he said, "redistributing massive amounts of wealth at the direction of politicians in Washington."
McCain accused Obama of "class warfare." But McCain is the perpetrator, argue Democrats, who contend he is trying to fuel middle-class resentment toward poorer people with inflammatory words like "socialism" and phrases reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's attacks on "welfare queens."
In fact, Obama supporters note, the gap between rich and poor Americans has grown markedly in recent years as middle-class wages remained largely stagnant while corporate profits and high-earners' salaries soared. The nation's income inequality now ranks among the world's largest, reports show. The richest 10 percent earn an average of $93,000 a year; the poorest 10 percent make $5,800 on average.
Various economic and regulatory factors have fed that gap. But tax policies play a role, too, because some major revenue sources are far less favorable to low-income people than the income tax is.
For most Americans, the biggest tax burden is the payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. The tax rates are the same for everyone, and the Social Security levy does not apply to incomes above $102,000, a boon to the wealthy.
Moreover, Social Security benefits go to rich and poor retirees alike. That means low-income workers' payroll taxes are partly shifted to wealthier people, a reverse of the income tax's topdown construct.
Federal excise taxes on products including gasoline and cigarettes are more regressive still, as are sales taxes levied by many states.
Despite the nation's income disparity, McCain sees Obama's exchange with "Joe the Plumber" as a means to appeal to anyone who resents paying taxes to subsidize less wealthy people. His running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, criticized "Barack the wealth-spreader" in a campaign speech Tuesday in Reno, Nev.
Obama responded while campaigning in Florida. He said McCain, like President Bush, wants to "give more and more to those with the most, and hope prosperity trickles down to everyone else." He said McCain has accused him of being "more concerned with who gets your piece of the pie than with growing the pie."
After eight years of "Bush-McCain economics," Obama said, "the pie is now shrinking."
Obama has proposed higher taxes on the wealthy, and tax cuts for most other households. He would end the Bush administration's tax cuts for people making more than $250,000 a year, he says. He also would impose a new Social Security payroll tax on incomes above $250,000 a year. Currently, all annual income up to $102,000 is taxed at 12.4 percent for Social Security, with employers and workers splitting the cost evenly.
As for the claim that Obama might turn the Internal Revenue Service into a "giant welfare agency," liberal groups note that the number of Americans on welfare fell by more than 60 percent after a 1996 overhaul of the program approved by President Clinton.
For several years, a strong economy and social safety net programs helped many families avoid poverty. However, the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities says the recent economic downturn "has coincided with a sharp increase in food prices, which has exacerbated hardship for many low-income families who also face high gas prices (and will face high home heating bills this fall and winter)."
The group's chief economist, Chad Stone, says the degree to which U.S. tax policies favor the poor over the wealthy "should not be a concern to people."
"We still have too much poverty," he said. "And if it were not for the progressive nature of our tax system, it would be much worse."

She let her family make her lose her husband
Awesome movie! However, I didn't like how they how they portrayed her to be in the wrong, it should have been the other way around, however just seeing the preview we automatic blame him but he never cheated. okay before when he did he was a kid. She had issues from the beginning, her family betrayed him she never took up for the man, she let her husband make her lose her husband. they were all miserable and knew she loved him although she was crazy from the beginning, he was good and and husband. that was karma from how she talked about him and treated him. He deserved to be happy! I could watch it all over again.
awesome movie, real life situation, yes indeed!!!!
I love it!!!! Strong Woman!!!!
I rated 5 stars on this don't know why it showed less 5 STARS BABY
The ones that gave a low rating sounds like the ones that can't get their own man and this is incriminating to them. Sorry ladies if so you are a trap. Find your own and find a future. There is no future in a married man. If he leave her for you he's going to leave you for another as well . Stay Woke.
This movie is awesome I wish there was many more like It. It take people of great value to understand it and in this day and time people go for the unrighteousness until they learn or have lived the righteous first . Otherwise the dogmatic life have become the norm to women who don't know what good treatment and good living is. Women Stay Woke.
Ok, I'll admit, as my husband & I were driving to the cinema to watch this, I was worried it might end-up being a "chick-flick", but Y'all, my husband & I LOVED this movie more-than we could've imagined!
It had us gripped-into the story from start-to-finish!
And we couldn't stop thinking & talking about it for atleast a couple days afterwards. This was a must-see for both men and women!
I also thought is taught a powerful lesson for married couples who have that one person or family-member who always tries to encourage them to leave their spouse... Don't listen to those people who disrespect your marriage, otherwise u will find-out thee hard-way they they are the one's who you should avoid like "the plague".
Keep faith in the spouse that God placed into your life will go according to His plan in-the end, because if ypu don't, it wont!
This movie in my opinion is Tyler Perry's best movie yet. I'm going to see it a 2nd time with my Mom for Mother's Day.
another great movie from Tyler Perry. well worth it love it!
This movie was nothing short of phenomenal!! Best movie Tyler ever made. If you did not like this movie, something is seriously wrong. This movie was deep and touched on feelings that I think many women experience but never act upon. It leaves you to ponder, who was really the victim as well as the abuser? A definite must see x 2. Money well spent! Congrats Tyler, you have reached a level I think will be extremely hard to surpass this time!

GG Best Improv/Worst Cowgirl: Meryl Streep
Lainey called me out last night, and she was right, for pussy footing around the fact that The Iron Lady suuuuucked. I mean, not just a little bit. That movie was really, really bad …but you got so distracted by Meryl. There was a moment in the movie where she communicated with her face "well, I could, not that he would care anyway, but what's a mother to do, these days? That's my lot in life". How can she DO that?
It's that same thing that makes her so completely compelling in person. When she forgot her glasses and just decided to start naming actresses she loves, how can you look away? I know some of you thought it was a little big self-serving – after all, it's not like she was heaping all the praise before the (deserved) win – but she knows how to keep you watching, right?
Which is why, does it matter that she was wearing a cowgirl's dress? Meryl is Above. She's above cramming her hips into Spanx. I mean, please. She's Meryl Streep! And the dress is plain and boring and doesn't do a thing for her really, but everyone's also forgotten it already this morning, so maybe it did what it was supposed to.

Summary View help for Summary
The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of crossnational collaboration. Formed in 1983, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This collection, which focuses on national identity, contains data from Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, the Slovakian Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Respondents were asked to comment on various topics regarding national identity, such as how "close" they felt to their respective countries, national pride, their nations' relations with other countries, and their nations' treatment of immigrants and minority groups. Those queried were asked to describe the pride they felt towards their countries' accomplishments in the following areas: political influence, economics, social security, science and technology, sports, the arts, armed forces, history, and treatment of others. A series of questions probed for respondents' views regarding international relations, including foreign trade restrictions, international problem-solving attempts, foreign language education, the purchase of land by foreigners, the nationality of television programs and movies, and the benefits of membership in regional international organizations. Respondents were also asked to assess their countries' treatment of minority groups and immigrants. Topics covered the preservation of minority traditions, the impact of immigrant groups on crime, the economy, the job market, cultural openness, special provisions for political refugees, and the citizenship process. Demographic variables include age, sex, education, marital status, personal and family income, employment status, household size and composition, occupation, religion, social class, union membership, political party, political orientation, race, ethnicity, language fluency, demographics of community, and citizenship.

Seattle/Queen Anne-South Lake Union
Earth : North America : United States of America : Pacific Northwest : Washington (state) : Puget Sound : King County : Seattle : Seattle/Queen Anne-South Lake Union
Queen Anne and Seattle Center are northwest of Downtown Seattle. This article also incorporates the neighborhoods of South Lake Union, due north of downtown and slowly becoming Seattle's newest mixed use district; Magnolia, the wealthy residential neighborhood on a peninsula west of Queen Anne; and Interbay, the unexpected strip of commerce and industry between the two.
Seattle Center, at the southern base of Queen Anne Hill, was originally built to host the 1962 World's Fair. The theme was 'Century 21' and it featured many corporate sponsored, science-based exhibits. The two most notable survivors were the Monorail and the Space Needle which has fantastic views of Seattle, both of which have become Icons of the city. Today, Seattle Center is a park-like facility surrounded by many of Seattle's finest venues and museums; Key Arena, McCaw Hall, Intiman Theater and the Experience Music Project. The Center becomes a venue in its own right when it hosts several of Seattle's premier events, including Northwest Folklife Festival, Bite of Seattle, Bumbershoot and several others.
South Lake Union was a industrial neighborhood in the late 20th Century, but also one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Seattle. Today, South Lake Union is home to Amazon.com's new headquarters and a range of biotech organizations, a large growth in both market rate and subsidized housing, and a new streetcar line.
Get in
Please note: Queen Anne Ave. is the dividing line between the "North" avenues and the "West" avenues. Don't be surprised if you cross 1st Ave. N and then 1st Ave. W without changing direction!
Seattle Center and South Lake Union lie within easy walking or bicycling distance of Downtown. Climbing up Queen Anne Hill is more of a workout! Aurora Avenue (SR-99) divides Seattle Center and South Lake Union and can only be crossed in a few spots.
By car
Due to its geography, Queen Anne Hill can be difficult to navigate, especially by car if you're unfamiliar. There are two simple ways to get to the center of the neighborhood. The first is via Queen Anne Ave. from the south (though take note: Queen Anne Avenue traffic is south-only when south of Roy St.). The second is by 3rd Ave. W from the north side, near Seattle Pacific University.
Approaching by Dexter Ave., Gilman Ave., W. Dravus St. or any of the numerous side-streets should not be attempted unless you have time to kill.
Denny Way runs along the south side of Seattle Center. Parking is plentiful, albeit often expensive.
Dexter, Westlake, Fairview, and Eastlake Avenues pass through South Lake Union. Mercer Street is the primary east-west route and most convenient access from I-5, although it's amongst the most traffic-congested streets in the city.
By public transit
The heart of Queen Anne is served mainly by Seattle Metro bus routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, and 45. Metro Transit maintains a list of Queen Anne routes [22].
The Seattle Center Monorail [23] makes a direct connection between Westlake Center in Downtown to the Seattle Center. The 1962 vintage Alweg monorail is perfectly good transportation and kind of cool, but it doesn't go anywhere else. Round-trip fares are $4 for adults, $2 for seniors, and $1.50 for youth. It is privately operated and does not accept transfers.
South Lake Union is served by bus routes 26 and 28 on Dexter Avenue, and route 70 on Fairview Avenue (replaced by equivalent service on the 71, 72, and 73 nights and weekends). The neighborhood is also served by the new South Lake Union Streetcar [24], which runs from the Westlake Center in Downtown to Lake Union. The streetcar runs at 15 minute intervals from 6AM-9PM Monday through Thursday, 6AM-11PM Fridays & Saturdays, and 10AM-7PM on Sundays. Fare is $2.25 for adults and $0.75 for seniors/youth. The streetcar was initially announced as the "South Lake Union Trolley", until the developer realized the unfortunate acronym -- which is still used by many residents. Local coffee shop Inner Chapters on Fairview Avenue sells T-shirts that say, "Ride the S.L.U.T.".
Seattle Center
Queen Anne
Perhaps the most obvious spectacle in Queen Anne is the quintessential view of the Seattle Skyline from Kerry Park. The park affords an excellent view of downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, West Seattle/Alki and across the Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island (depending on the weather).
A few blocks southwest of Kerry Park is Kinnear Park, which stretches down to the lower Queen Anne/Mercer Avenue area and has a good view of the Olympic Mountains over the top of Magnolia Hill, if the weather is clear.
North of this area, along 8th Ave. West., the hill opens up to excellent views of the Olympic Mountains to the west and enormous homes on the east.
True to Seattle form, you need never go more than a few blocks without stumbling into a coffee shop.
If you're looking for something to balance out all that caffeine as a stimulant, Lower Queen Anne fits the bill.
Queen Anne is a relatively upper-scale neighborhood, and generally the restaurants rise to the occasion.
Much of this area is residential or light commercial, with lodgings few and far between; downtown offers far more options. However, the Seattle Center area hosts several smaller hotels.
Nearly all coffee shops offer wi-fi.
Seattle Public Library branches have wi-fi and Internet terminals. Unless you have a SPL library card, ask at the desk for a one-day login.

A six-year-old girl is facing deportation to the UK after she became the only member of her family to be denied Australian residency based on an unnamed medical condition.
British-born Sienna Tippett has lived in Lennox Head in Northern NSW since she was 10-months-old but when she and her family applied for permanent residency in April 2015, a commonwealth appointed doctor deemed Sienna ''a burden to the Australian community" and denied her request for a visa.
Sienna's parents, Kai and Hayley Tippett, are fighting to have the ruling overturned so that the family of five, can remain in Australia.
"One fail, all fail," Mr Tippet said.
"As a parent, you teach your children that everybody is equal and not to discriminate against anyone," he said. "Then the Australian immigration undoes everything you have taught your children - in our case labelling our little girl as a burden."
The Tippetts are strongly disputing the claim and say that Sienna's condition only affects her balance and speech and not her cognitive ability.
Their little girl already attends a support unit within a mainstream school, and the family is not eligible for carer's allowance or a pension as they are over the asset threshold. "Sienna doesn't cost any more than our 16-year-old and our 13-year-old," Mr Tippett said.
Sienna still has no diagnoses and every test that has been carried out ''come back clear.''
If the case does not get overturned, then the family will be forced to leave their support system and home in Australia, something Mr Tippett fears will cause his daughter to regress.
"She is learning Auslan," he says, "which is only used in Australia." If they are returned to the UK, Mr Tippet said Sienna would be unable to communicate with others until she learnt a completely new sign language.
The family lost their appeal in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal court on July 19 – a process that cost them $1700. "Apparently, they cannot go against a Commonwealth doctor's decision," Mr Tippett said.
