Casa Tacuri
Architecture: Gabriel Rivera Arquitectos
Location: Tacuri Passage and Manuela Saenz, Lot 21, Nayón, Quito, Ecuador
Casa Tacuri
Tacuri is a place located in the Nayón area of the city of Quito. It is a fascinating place due to its microclimate, flora, fauna and exceptional view of the Cumbayá Valley.
The Algarrobo tree, an endemic local species, grows all around. The trees attract so many singing birds that one can?t help but feel that they are a part of nature, despite the fact that Tacuri is just a few minutes away from urban activity. It is precisely in this site that the Tacuri House resides, and also from which it gets its name.
As a single-family house, it was designed with the purpose of creating a home. The product of substantial analysis, Tacuri House respects the natural environment of its lot and draws inspiration from the surrounding Algarrobo trees; giving place to the architectural concept: ?living amongst the trees.? This concept materialized in the construction process through adapting to the natural topography and keeping all of the Algarrobos on site. The result is a timeless house that feels as if it has grown from nature itself.
Tacuri House is distributed along the perimeter of the lot in three different features aroun...

Gallery-wrap is a modern style of displaying art over thick wooden bars. It is a stretched canvas that doesn't have any visible staples or nails holding the fabric to the wooden stretcher bars so the painting could be hung unframed. Gallery-wrap is a very popular way to display art, however, because the edges of the canvas are wrapped over the thick bars, about two inches of the painting from each side are lost in the wrap.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read the ESPN story about Jose Reyes being angry with Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria for trading him to Toronto.
Mark Buehrle said the same thing after the trade months earlier.
"I was shocked, because Jeffrey Loria, he always told me he's never going to trade me,'' Reyes said. "He always called my agent and said, 'Tell Jose to get a good place here to live.' ''
Reyes said he even met with Loria days before the trade and there was no mention of the trade.
Are you tearing up, yet?
Maybe everything Reyes said is true, but wasn't there a time when he said he wanted to stay with the Mets and finish he career playing next to David Wright? There was also a time when Reyes said he would do what was best for him and the Mets would do what was best for them.
And, after signing a six-year, $106-million contract with the Marlins he never looked back on the Mets. It wasn't a pleasant divorce for Reyes from the Mets, and also the fans here who greeted him with boos upon his initial return and mostly apathy later in the summer.

Can Someone Explain When The Pirate Bay Was Actually Put On Trial In The UK?
from the due-process-is-such-a-simple-concept dept
This isn't much of an expansion, Newzbin2 was ordered blocked last year, but it is a major step. The big problem here is the lack of any sort of trial. While there was a ruling back in February, declaring that the operators and users of The Pirate Bay were probably infringing copyright, the ISPs didn't try to make a case (for fear of massive costs orders), and the Pirate Bay was given no opportunity to argue anything. As for today's order, looking through the Court listings, there wasn't even a hearing, so it was probably all done through written applications.This is a pretty key point that has received very little attention compared to the general order to block the site. I'm curious if folks in the UK can explain how this is defensible? While I recognize that free speech rights aren't as well respected in the UK, ordering ISPs to block a website without even allowing for any adversarial hearing seems like a pretty huge violation of basic concepts of due process.
This highlights how judicial oversight alone isn't enough (in a common law system) to ensure justice is done. Without an adversary to challenge the claimants (record companies), none of the possible defences, or issues (such as proportionality, anti-competitive practices, or negative consequences on people like Dan Bull) can be raised.
Whether the end result is right or not, it's not justice when a few companies can have a website blocked, with no one from the website or elsewhere in a position to challenge or question it.

On World No Tobacco Day, don't use as directed | Dudley Tarlton
31 May 2013
"Use as directed" generally suggests "do as the manufacturer tells you and you'll be safe." Tobacco, used as directed, kills about 6 million people yearly, roughly half those who use it. That includes about 600,000 people sickened by second-hand smoke.
May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day, and this year's theme is "Ban tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship"— which are proven to increase tobacco use. Tobacco is the leading global cause of preventable death worldwide – and it kills more people in Asia and the Pacific than in any other region. In Southeast Asia, an estimated 1.3 million people die every year from tobacco-related disease. In the Western Pacific region alone, two people die every minute.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco use killed 100 million people in the last century and is on track to kill 1 billion people more by the end of this century. While high-income countries have historically consumed the most tobacco, low- and middle-income countries are closing the gap: Western European cigarette consumption has fallen by more than 25 percent since 1990, but African and Middle Eastern consumption has surged 57 percent during the same period.
In Nepal, where UNDP recently took part in a needs assessment sought by the government to identify priority actions for Nepal's tobacco control efforts, smoking depicted on television or in films is now accompanied by scrolling warning messages.
In other countries, scenes that depict smoking may be deleted entirely.
Such bans are only as effective as the will to enforce them, including by closing loopholes that permit cross-border advertising and Internet promotions. Public awareness is critical, and civil society has played a vital role in raising awareness of the dangers of tobacco use.
It's time for all governments to enforce the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), ratified by 176 countries that together account for almost 90 percent of the global population and put an end to tobacco promotion. Six million preventable deaths a year is six million too many.
Talk to us: What are most effective ways to curb the global use of tobacco?

When Daniel Hangstefer was playing tennis for the Lipscomb Bisons he didn't call attention to the fact that he was 60 percent deaf.
Born with the hearing loss like two of his siblings Daniel didn't let it be an obstacle. He played the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles for the majority of his career. In the No. 4 spot he earned Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team honors in 2007. He was a two-time member of the Atlantic Sun All-Academic Team with a degree in Communications.
"I never considered myself to be deaf," Daniel said. "I was never going to let that get in the way of what I wanted to do."
But while serving as an assistant coach at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas he decided it was time to become more involved in the deaf community.
"I kept the fact that I was deaf low key," Daniel said. "I have worn hearing aids my whole life, but I really didn't grow up in the deaf community.
"I really didn't know very much about it until I went to Texas. That is where I really starting learning about it. The last two years I have learned what a great opportunity this is for me to reach out to people. That is how I found out about the Deaflympics."
Daniel has been participating in the Summer Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria. He won two singles matches before being eliminated and one men's double match. He and his sister, Emily, are still competing in mixed doubles. The closing ceremony is Aug. 4.
Emily also has a 60 percent hearing loss along with an older brother. Their older sister, Katie, is the coach of the United States team.
"It is just like the regular Olympics, but you have to be legally deaf to play in it," Daniel said. "Most everyone on our team played college tennis at some level."
Daniel explains there is no reason for why hearing losses affected some members of his family and not others. Three of his siblings do not have a hearing loss.
Most everyone in his family has a tennis background. He thinks that his hearing loss might have been more of a challenge had he chose to compete in another sport.
"There are advantages and disadvantages in tennis to being deaf," Daniel said. "You might not be able to hear what your opponent is saying, but you might not want to hear it."
There is one major difference in the Deaflympics for Daniel. None of the athletes are allowed to wear their hearing aids while competing.
"That is very different," Daniel said. "I have never really done that before.
"I can't hear when my opponent strikes the ball without my hearing aids. How the ball sounds coming off the other person's racquet is a big part of the game. You can figure out how fast the ball is going and what type of spin is going on. I have had to rely a lot more on visuals than my hearing."
Hangstefer, a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., was homeschooled. All of his family members attended the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. Daniel was the exception.
When he returns from Bulgaria he will go to Denver, Colo., to be the head coach of the men's and women's tennis teams at Metropolitan State University of Denver.
Dr. Lynn Griffith, who recruited Daniel to play at Lipscomb, is not surprised that his former player has become a coach.
"While I stopped coaching at the end of his freshman year, Daniel and I stayed in regular contact," Griffith said. "He continued to improve his play and wound up playing No. 1 singles position for the Bisons.
"More importantly though, while I was very proud of the player Daniel was becoming, I was more proud of the type of man Daniel was becoming. One could see his maturity coming through in his life. Very few people knew of Daniel's hearing loss. He did not use that as a crutch. That always impressed me."
Three years ago Griffith experienced some noticeable hearing loss and Daniel was the first person he contacted for advice on how to handle the situation. Griffith has also given strong support to Daniel as he has pursued coaching jobs.
"I have kept up with Daniel and his development as a tennis coach," Griffith said. "When Scott Linn (coach at Midwestern State) contacted me about Daniel being a graduate assistant, I did not hesitate in giving Daniel a good recommendation.
"When Metropolitan State contacted me about a recommendation for Daniel, I was happy to give him a good recommendation. When I saw that they had hired him, I was ecstatic."
Griffith says that a player like Daniel is one of the reasons he stayed in coaching as along as he did before returning full-time to the classroom at Lipscomb.
"Seeing a past player, that hopefully you had a positive influence on, have success is one of those rewards that does not show up in a paycheck, but is very satisfying," Griffith said. "I am very proud to have been one of Daniel's coaches."
When Daniel Hangstefer was playing tennis for the Lipscomb Bisons he didn't call attention to the fact that he was 60 percent deaf.

Gasoline at $4 Coming to a Pump Near You, Unfazed by Rising Tab
Pretty alarmist, IMO, but possible.
April 23 (Bloomberg) -- Whether it's $50 to fill up your Prius or $130 for the Ford Expedition, $4-a-gallon gasoline is coming to a pump near you.
Fuel prices are rising at a pace not seen since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita knocked out a third of the U.S. oil refining industry in 2005. Gasoline consumption is climbing twice as fast as last year and will accelerate when summer travel begins late next month.
``What we're surprised by is the increased demand,'' said James Mulva, chief executive officer at ConocoPhillips, whose refineries from California to New Jersey produce 56 million gallons of gas a day, enough to meet 14 percent of the country's needs. ``Even though the price of gasoline is up, the demand is up,'' he said in an April 12 interview in Houston.
Population gains and U.S. economic growth are causing an increase in fuel purchases, according to Orlando, Florida-based AAA, the nation's largest organization for motorists. The U.S. economy will expand at a 2.4 percent annual pace in the second quarter, up from 1.8 percent in the first three months, according to the median estimate of 74 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Gasoline use is rising almost 5 percent above the five-year average.
Americans are resigned to higher prices, says David Pursell, a principal with Pickering Energy Partners, a consulting firm in Houston.
``Last year, we had pump prices well over $3 for the summer and gasoline demand was up,'' Pursell said in an interview. ``Would $4 gasoline cause demand contraction? I think it will, but I also thought $3 gasoline would.''
Pump Prices
Gasoline inventories, measured by the days of demand they will cover, are at the lowest level in two decades for this time of year because of refinery fires, power failures and maintenance work oil companies failed to complete in 2006. No new U.S. refinery has been built in three decades, increasing the strain on existing plants.
Pump prices in the U.S. may increase to $4 a gallon from a nationwide average of $2.87 today, especially if hurricanes threaten Gulf of Mexico refineries, says Peter Beutel, an analyst at Cameron Hanover Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, who helps industrial consumers manage energy costs.
``Hurricanes are always the huge wild card,'' said Beutel. ``We're all praying for a year like 2006 rather than 2005.''
The June-to-November Atlantic Ocean hurricane season may produce 17 tropical storms, with nine reaching hurricane force and four becoming major hurricanes whose winds exceed 111 miles per hour (179 kilometers per hour), London-based forecasters at Tropical Storm Risk said. Some of the storms will strike the Gulf Coast this year after a benign 2006, AccuWeather.com predicted.
Inflation Risk
Higher pump prices will make winners of refinery owners such as ConocoPhillips, San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc of The Hague. Shares of Valero and Sunoco Inc., whose only business is refining, are rebounding after a decline at the end of last summer.
The increase in fuel costs threatens to quicken inflation and restrain consumer spending in the U.S. An appreciation to $4 a gallon would add more than $10 for a driver who fills the 12- gallon tank of a Toyota Motor Corp. Prius. The owner of an Expedition, a Ford Motor Co. sport-utility vehicle with a 34- gallon capacity, faces an increase of almost $40.
Many Americans have no choice but to drive more, says Christopher Knittel, an economist who studies fuel consumption at the University of California in Davis.
More Commuters
``We live farther from our jobs than we did in the 1970s, and with the rise of dual-income households, we now have two people who drive those distances every day,'' Knittel said.
Consumers also do more driving for things such as taking children to soccer practice, which they are unlikely to quit, he said. The U.S. population has increased 1 percent a year in the past decade to 301 million in 2007, adding to demand for gasoline, economists said.
Rising fuel prices make it less likely that Federal Reserve policy makers, who have cited inflation risks for the past year, will cut interest rates to spur economic growth. Before the hurricane-induced peak in 2005, U.S. gasoline topped out at $1.42 a gallon in March 1981, or $3.21 when adjusted for inflation, according to the Energy Department.
Economies in Europe and Asia are less likely to be hurt by gasoline prices because fuel already is subject to high taxes designed to encourage conservation. A gallon of unleaded costs about 3.25 pounds a gallon ($6.49) in the U.K., and in Japan it's 130.3 yen per liter ($4.16 a gallon).
$4 Barrier
U.S. consumers will get little relief on gasoline prices from Europe this year, unlike 2005, when oil companies shipped more across the Atlantic after the hurricanes. Europe's gasoline inventories in February were 114.2 million barrels, down 11 percent from two years earlier, according to the International Energy Agency in Paris. The drop in Europe was almost twice the 5.7 percent decline in U.S. supplies in that time.
``Just as we used to think $3 a gallon was an impenetrable barrier, now it's $4,'' said Peter Morici, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Business in College Park and former chief economist for the U.S. International Trade Commission. Gasoline at $3.50 is likely, Morici said, and a conflict with Iran or any event that disrupts crude supplies may push it to $4.
Pump prices rose 33 percent in the past 11 weeks, the fastest rate of gain since a six-week, 34 percent rally to the record $3.069 in September 2005, Energy Department data show.
Bodman's `Worry'
U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman in an interview last week said the national average pump price could break the record this summer. While his agency's official forecast is for gasoline to peak next month at about where it is today, hurricanes, refinery closures or crude oil supply cuts may send prices higher, he said.
Higher prices are ``a legitimate worry,'' Bodman said. ``We have trouble spots all over the world'' that could boost crude oil prices. ``We're in a very tight situation.''
Spending on fuel in the U.S. consumes half as much household income as in the early 1980s, which means gasoline would need to reach almost $6 a gallon to have the same effect on the economy as in 1981, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Storage tanks at U.S. refineries, terminals and ports hold enough gasoline to cover almost 22 days of domestic demand, 8.2 percent less than the five-year average and the lowest for this time of year since the 1980s, Energy Department figures show.
Valero-owned filling stations in Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, ran dry after a Feb. 16 explosion and fire shut the company's McKee refinery in Sunray, Texas. A day earlier, a blaze at an Exxon Mobil Corp. plant in Nanticoke, Ontario, slashed output, resulting in shortages and higher prices across eastern Canada.
The McKee shutdown strained supplies so much that ConocoPhillips postponed maintenance at its Borger, Texas, refinery north of Amarillo to prevent shortages in the region.
``Refineries are becoming more complex,'' Mulva said in the Houston interview. ``What we're finding is it's more difficult keeping reliability up with more sophisticated pieces of equipment that are highly integrated.''
Tesoro Corp. of San Antonio, the second-largest refiner in the western U.S., said first-quarter refinery use dropped because oil companies delayed until this year maintenance that could have been done in 2006. The portion of U.S. refining capacity that was in operation in the first quarter declined to 87.3 percent from 88.9 percent a year earlier, according to Energy Department data.
`Refineries Blow Up'
``Prices will depend entirely on whether we have a couple of refineries blow up,'' said Philip K. Verleger, an economist who runs a consulting firm in Newport Beach, California. ``It's almost impossible we'll get to $4 a gallon if all the refineries run well this summer. But if something happens and there are problems, then anything's possible.''
The average share gain for Valero, Tesoro and six other oil-refining companies is 26 percent this year, outperforming the 4.1 percent gain for Exxon Mobil and a 4.7 percent increase for the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
The shares will continue to rally, said Paul Carlson, who helps manage $3 billion at HGK Asset Management in Jersey City, New Jersey.
``Refiners are doing very well these days,'' said Carlson, whose holdings include ConocoPhillips, the second-biggest U.S. refiner. ``There will be lots of demand for any new refining stocks.''
`Back in Favor'
As recently as August, investors were selling oil refiners on concern an economic slowdown would slash fuel demand in the U.S., the world's largest energy market. During seven weeks last August and September, Valero shares fell 29 percent, wiping out $12 billion in market value.
``Refining is very much back in favor,'' said Douglas Ober, who helps oversee $2.3 billion at Baltimore-based Adams Express Co. ``Even with higher prices, we haven't seen any substantial cutback in demand. They're cranking out as much of this stuff as they can, and we're throwing it in our tanks as fast as we can.''
The margin earned from processing crude oil into fuels rose to $24.68 a barrel on April 11, the highest since right after the hurricanes in September 2005. The margin has since retreated to $22.12 a barrel, still about double the five-year average.
``It'll be a fairly tight gasoline market all through the summer,'' said Robert Hinckley, an analyst at Rochdale Securities in New York.

I wonder how many companies that have a "higher net profit margin" would trade that "higher net profit margin" for a "lower net profit margin" and make 15+ billion more?
I think I would have to turn down that trade and keep my "higher net profit margin."

The state ought to waive the "winter-mix" requirement today. Also, the Governor/legislature should temporarily suspend regulations that prevent importing fuel from other states. At least until November 1st or until the waiver is granted.

Looks like they're using California as a testbed to see if people will pay such high prices for gas.

Obama reads ChiefsPlanet!!
SAN FRANCISCO/HOUSTON (Reuters) - The unprecedented price spike that added more than 50 cents a gallon to California pump prices last week ended as quickly as it began, market analysts said, and consumers should see prices fall dramatically in the coming week.
Political outrage, however, was still heating up as Senator Barbara Boxer joined calls for a federal investigation into possible market manipulation.
Prices started pulling back slightly on Monday afternoon, according to online filling station tracker Gas Buddy, after the American Automobile Association website reported they had hit a record of $4.668 per gallon on Monday morning.
California Governor Jerry Brown's decision on Sunday to allow an immediate switch to "winter-blend" fuel was a big factor in driving wholesale prices down by 60 cents a gallon on Monday, market participants said.
"Retail prices will come down as hard as they went up," said David Hackett, president of Stillwater Associates, an energy consultancy in Irvine, California. "It went up 56 cents in a week, it will come down that fast."
The price spike alarmed consumers and politicians across a state that is famous for its love of the automobile. Senator Barbara Boxer on Monday called for a Department of Justice investigation into possible price manipulation in gasoline trading markets. Senator Dianne Feinstein on Sunday made a similar request to the Federal Trade Commission.
Reuters reported on Friday that oil traders said the price spike had "many hallmarks of a classic short squeeze." Multiple trading sources said that refiner Tesoro Corp. was caught short of supplies and forced to scramble to buy fuel from other companies.
Spot market prices jumped by almost $1 a gallon in a matter of days, though trading sources said they saw no signs of collusion or deliberate withholding of supply.
Both Feinstein and Boxer cited the Reuters report of a possible short squeeze in calling for federal regulators to investigate. Boxer, in her letter to the Department of Justice, asked it to "immediately investigate whether any of these traders colluded to manipulate and drive up gas prices at the expense of Tesoro and California consumers".
Californians have bitter memories of the supply shortages and price spikes that hit the electricity market more than a decade ago and were later found to have resulted from market manipulation led by the now-defunct Enron Corp.
Jason M. Jones, a music producer who was gassing up his Volvo in Santa Monica on Monday, said he was fearful of further price gyrations. "I feel they're taking advantage of the situation in Santa Monica," he said.
California gasoline prices are traditionally among the highest in the country. The state is largely cut off from national pipeline networks and refinery centers, and requires more expensive, cleaner-burning gasoline in the summer.
The recent price surge was initially set off by a series of refinery mishaps, including an August 6 fire at a big Chevron refinery in Richmond and an October 1 power outage at Exxon Mobil Corp's Torrance facility near Los Angeles.
The Torrance plant is now back online, helping to alleviate supply constraints. Brown's order to allow winter-blend gasoline to be sold immediately, well ahead of the normal October 31 transition date, was also a big factor in relieving supply concerns.
"I think prices will come down pretty quickly," said James Hamilton, an economics professor at the University of California, San Diego. "The measures Governor Brown adopted are exactly the right ones."
Hamilton acknowledged that some academic studies show it can take a "little bit longer" for prices to come down than it takes for them to go up. But he detected sluggishness in both directions, suggesting some Southern California retailers may have been wary of angering customers by increasing too fast.
"A few stations didn't raise prices as quickly as others, and that created shortages at those stations," he said.
Southern California bore the brunt of the supply disruptions last week and faced the highest prices in the state, with $5 per gallon spotted in some areas.
At one station in West Los Angeles, Rick Lee, a restaurant and club manager in his 40s, said he had not yet noticed a fall in prices. "For now I'm just putting in $40 at a time and not filling up my tank in anticipation that prices will go down or that someone will bail us out," he said.

Has anyone else seen a sizable decrease in prices lately?
Currently 3.28 in my area. It's dropped .50 over the past month.

A little background for you....
I nursed exclusively while on 8 week maternity leave. Went back to work (didn't want to but had to due to financial reasons) I pump every day while at work and breastfeed exclusively at home. He never has a bottle at while I am with him.
As of late I do not express nearly enough milk to send with him. The last couple of months I have been able to only send 5 ounces of expressed milk for the day at the sitters, the other bottles he has there are formula.
The last couple of weeks I have only been able to send expressed milk every other day. When I get a full serving I will send it. This is really depressing to me since I was dead set against formula and only wanted to be "that mom that exclusively breastfed my baby for the first year" I wanted to be a champion breast feeder, as none of my other friends and family have been able to breast feed past 3 months or less due to frustration or what-have-you. So needless to say I am getting frustrated with myself.
BUT that is not what my post was supposed to be about (oops) Okay, here it is:
My husband, who has a job that keeps him away most of the week, REALLY loves to co sleep. He misses him throughout the week and wants to spend as much time as possible with him. I have ALWAYS said I was against co sleeping because I was afraid I wouldn't get them out of my bed when they are 10. Anyways, when hubby is not there I have a routine, I breastfeed him to sleep in the rocker when he starts rubbing his eyes. I lay him in his crib and he sleeps for a couple or few hours. Then wakes up and I try to put him back to sleep the same way but whenever I lay him in his crib in the middle of the night he always rolls over and sits up and reaches for me. And I mean, he can be OUT, completely asleep. So then I need to go to sleep because I have to get up for work in 6 hours so I put him in my bed and he wrestles for a little bit but ultimately falls asleep.
I have always had the goal of breastfeeding for the first year. Until now, I am contemplating weaning now rather than at a year. Reasons:
-I am not pumping enough to send to the sitter
-I am thinking he is waking up because he is used to getting a "snack" in the middle of the night and maybe if I wean him he will be easier to sleep train
-He is getting teeth--he bites me if I try to feed him and he doesn't want it (but that is the only time he bites)
Reasons not to wean:
-He is at least getting my nutritious milk at night and on the weekends
-He seems to be getting enough when I breastfeed him--he eats until he stops and doesn't act like he is still hungry
-If we go somewhere I don't have to worry if I brought the milk
-We save that much more money with me breastfeeding while I am home with him (although that is the least of my concerns, even if we had all the money in the world I feel like I would not be giving up easily)
-I feel like what are a few more months of these restless, sleepless nights if it means he is getting the nutrients he needs.
I just need some advice from someone on what they went through and if anyone went through a similar situation. Am I being selfish in wanting this? My mom says she is so proud of me for doing this as long as I have. She said she was never able to breastfeed long (she's a nurse and worked a lot) She says she wishes I was getting the sleep I need at night because it isn't good for me but if I am willing to wake up without complaining and being grumpy to my little boy then she supports me.
My husband is very PRO breastfeeding (I never dreamed he would be this supportive--as his mother is the one that doesn't get it)
SOO SORRY for the novel! But thanks for letting ramble on and thanks for any replies.

Original Forest Paper Co. mill, Yarmouth, ca. 1880Item 67653 info
Yarmouth Historical Society
Located on the east bank of Royal River's "Third Falls," Yarmouth Paper Company operated from 1865 to 1870, when it burned to the ground.
In 1872, the wooden buildings shown in the photograph were erected and began producing soda pulp for paper production. It was the first mill of its kind in New England.
When G.W. Hammond and S.D. Warren purchased the mill in 1874, they renamed the operation Forest Paper Company and quickly began the construction of new, modern brick buildings to keep up with the rapidly changing times.
Soon, the majority of the structures on Forest Paper Company's 10 acres of property were constructed of brick and these wooden buildings were put out of commission or torn down.

May 21, 2005
The face of the Hood River Port Commission remains unchanged with three incumbents retaining their seats in Tuesday's special election.
Position 1 will once again be held by Fred Duckwall, who begins his second four-year term on July 1. Duckwall beat out challenger Dr. Lars Bergstrom by a vote of 2,629 to 1,657.
"I think basically the election results reaffirmed the direction we should take — and that's using a balanced approach for development of the waterfront," said Duckwall.
Don Hosford, the senior member of the port board, has scored a third term in Position 1. He captured the elected role and ousted challenger Cory Roeseler by a vote of 2,529 to 1,722.
"I think people see that the port is moving ahead in a positive direction now and they just want us to get going and make something good happen at the waterfront," said Hosford.
Neither Roeseler nor Bergstrom were able to be reached on Friday morning for comment about the results of the May 17 ballot tally.
Kathy Watson won her first elected term in the port office by a landslide margin over opponent Craig Marquardo, netting 3,255 votes to his 424. In recent weeks Marquardo has come under media scrutiny for controversial claims about his background, including possession of a Purple Heart that was later discounted by data provided by the National Personnel Records Center in Saint Louis, Mo.
When contacted Friday morning, Marquardo said, "I offer my congratulations to the Hood River News." After further questioning, including his feelings on why Watson won by so many votes, Marquardo said, "I have no further comment."
Watson also declined to remark on the wide disparity in the election results. Instead, she expressed gratitude to citizens for granting her a first term on the port board. In October, Watson was appointed to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Bill Lyons. She ran on a campaign that the port needs to provide the community with a "clear vision" for the waterfront through its pending master planning process.
"I feel my responsibility is to try and create a 'big tent' and bring a variety of views into the discussion — not only about the waterfront but about the economy in the Gorge," said Watson.
All three of the newly elected commissioners are committed to facilitating a public park on Lot 6 at the waterfront. They also want to attract new businesses to the remaining property to provide more family-wage jobs and increase economic development opportunities.
In the one contested race for Port of Cascade Locks commission, voters cast 118 ballots to Marva Janik to John Randall's 30.

Bloomberg targets political donations in latest gun-control push
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is urging the city's Democratic donors to withhold funds from four Democratic senators who opposed a background checks bill.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in his latest bid for tougher gun control, is urging the city's legions of Democratic donors to withhold funds from four Democratic senators who opposed a background checks bill earlier this year.
The letter, sent to hundreds of the city's major donors on Wednesday, targets the four Democrats who joined Republicans in blocking a compromise bill designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, according to Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group Bloomberg founded and largely funds.
The bill reached the Senate floor just months after a gunman killed 20 first graders and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, prompting gun control advocates to push for significant changes to U.S. gun laws.
Most senators - 54 - approved the measure, which polls indicated was backed by more than 80 percent of Americans, when it came up for a vote in April.
The plan to expand background checks to sales made online and at gun shows failed to become law after Republicans threatened to use a filibuster to block any gun proposal that did not get 60 votes in the 100-member Senate.
It was a stinging defeat for the billionaire mayor, who had aggressively used his personal wealth and political bully pulpit to push the measure. At the time, Bloomberg called the defeat a "damning indictment of the stranglehold that special interests have on Washington." He said his group would work to defeat opponents of gun control in the 2014 midterm elections. Wednesday's letter, first reported by the New York Times, targets Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
"I am writing to ask you: the next time these four Senators want you to support them with donations to their campaigns, tell them you cannot. Until they show that they will stand up for the American people and not the gun lobby, tell them you cannot support their candidacy," the letter says. "These "no" votes were a slap in the face to Americans everywhere."
In scathing language, the letter criticizes the senators for undermining efforts to keep Americans safe, at the same time as they approached New York donors for contributions.
At least one of the senators targeted by Bloomberg said he relishes the challenge.
"In Alaska, having a New York mayor tell us what to do? The guy who wants to ban Big Gulps?" Begich told the New York Times. "If anything, it might help me."
The four senators were not immediately available for further comment.
Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a Democrat and a chief sponsor of the bipartisan background check plan the Senate blocked, told reporters he would like to see more money going to "gun culture states" to finance an information campaign about why Americans should not fear the background-check expansion.
"It's well-intended, they all have different approaches and they have a right to have that approach," he said of Bloomberg's letter.
Others said the effort could backfire, especially if Republicans win back control of the U.S. Senate, making new gun control legislation all but impossible.
"Mark Pryor is the only Democrat who could win in Arkansas," said one senior Democratic aide. "Making it less likely that he will win, will make it more likely that Republicans take control of the Senate, which would doom the prospects for expanded background checks for the foreseeable future."
The aide said that in some states, Democrats targeted by Bloomberg could use the liberal New York mayor as a foil to campaign against. Still, the aide quickly added: "It is never good to have someone spend millions of dollars against you."

Relaxation and calmness is a by-product of good work. Obviously if you try hard to relax the effort to do so will only create more tension. Give meditation all you've got but don't try too hard. Meditation is good work and leads to a kind of rest that is not passive and dopey but clear, alert and dynamic. It is called peace.
Work is the exchange of energy between different forms. When we start any meditation we are absorbed in the swirling forms of daily thoughts and feelings, in all their past and future manifestations. They represent the work of our daily lives – necessary and useful. However the moment we begin the work of meditation – to be in the present – these forms become distractions and they must be let go of, all of them.
Instinctively the mind tries to compromise – to say the mantra and at the same time keep planning or probing the painful thoughts or indulging the pleasant ones. Then, especially if you are stressed and feel you don't have enough time, it all seems a waste of time, non-productive work. Embracing this apparent wastefulness however transforms it into the most powerful state of poverty of spirit which is the high road to home.
It is like checking in for a crowded flight in a middle seat in the back row of economy next to the toilet and being told you have been upgraded to business. You can't believe your luck. This sounds a bit selfish; what makes it unselfish is that you also realise that everyone else can enjoy the same life-upgrade and you try to let them know.
Distractions come in different packaging – trivial thoughts from your surface life, deeper personal issues and (the really dangerous viruses) spiritual ambitions and self-evaluation. Every time we start where we are. Most of us start with a plethora of images. Turning from these, returning faithfully to the mantra, gets us re-started. In time we see that the source of all distraction is self-consciousness, the tendency to form an image of ourselves.
Letting go of that is the toughest work of the desert. But it leads into the oasis of self-knowledge and eventually into the promised land itself.

After the Big Bang comes the Divine particle - L'Homme Infini - a fabulous scent.
In the early 90's an eminent professor from the University prepared me on quantum mechanics for the National Physics contest which I won. Among the many formulae and their mathematical background was a certain philosophy and conversations which I thought more useful for what I always loved - perfumes and organic chemistry. On a metaphoric level, the perfume, a form of LUX in its Latin expression, shows a similar strange duality to the famous particle-wave duality. A physical / chemical dimension of small elements which act around you with a "magnetism" and an invisible power like a "field". No surprise that "magnet", "aimant" and many other similar words related to its forces were used to speak about creations from the past from Coty to Gabriela Sabatini. It is a form of poetry to "explain" the profound effects of the scent which enters your nose - "what you inhale has direct access to your brain".
L'Homme Infini, recently launched by Divine, is one of those perfumes profoundly anchored in a tradition which transcends time or space and links the invisible traces left by its author, Yann Vasnier, in his previous works. Like the previous one, this was an instant coup de foudre.
The essence of Bang, with its strong peppery woodiness, emerges in the dark Druid forest which surrounds the Western coast of France up to the place where Divine was born many years ago. It is a profound homage to the oak, the bitter astringent facet of its bark rich in tanins which are perceptible in several vines. Take the oak of roman emperors, the sacred gui/mistletoe (Viscum) and the houx/holly ilex and you have the expression of divine transposed in a scent from the forest. Many notes are evoked by this wonderful scent - thuya, sage, artemisia, the bitterness of wallnut leaf and nut (nux gallica) and cypres. It is also the natural odor of Christmas because these plants are often associated with this period of the year.
Serene and slightly spicy with metallic elemi and pepper, L'Homme Infini brings something which hasn't been around for many decades - sharp bitterness - and I am thinking about a perfume I love very much with a Tibetan theme (I do not name it because it became too expensive even for me on e-bay since I started to praise very good old perfumes).
At the heart of L'homme Infini (Divine) lies the oak theme, warm and serene, but the new element, compared to Bang and the woody vetiver facet of Terre, is the green element - almost pungent over the soft musky sensual base with new Givaudan musks.
Like in the previous successful creation, the theme is highly stylized because very modern elements are used to evoke and not to depict known themes in perfumery. There is oud, but not the arabic one (mixed with balms) - it is the wood rich in tanins much like a perfume created for Tom Ford.
Green nutty and abstract smoky with a vetiver which floats between rhubarb and the bitter aldehydic skin of a frozen pomelo, L'Homme Infini offers a sensation of nobility, distinction wrapped in the sensuality of a pure white cotton shirt. Monastic by its "herbal" mixture, but terrible sensual through its woody muskiness, the creation has a profound effect on the wearer without disclosing its "secret" tonality in a similar way to the original Black Cashmere (DK) on the other side of the spectrum.
Those who loved the first Gucci pour Homme with its incense-woody theme, not monastic but sensual, will discover with L'Homme Infini the infinity of nature - the green sacred forests with oak. A concentrate of perfection with a tremendous sillage. It is one of the best masculine launches of the year with none of the classic Parisian tricks - lascive fruity sweetness.
With L'Homme Infini, Yann Vasnier introduces with grace a new theme in perfumery - the oak - a note well know in oenology, but not as often used in perfumes, with one notable exception sold in a green bottle. A very old creation from Givaudan was based on "green oak", but it is probably totally lost today.
Oak wreath was a well known symbol in Antiquity
With L'Homme Infini, based on many new ingredients, the art of perfumes re-discovers a very old theme - the wood, the true bark of a tree famous like the tree of life. Like the classic oak crown, the perfume surrounds you with an infinite aura of beauty. When you wear this perfume, you are in the middle of an old druid forest en Bretagne.
Stones, oaks, coup de foudre - this is l'Homme Infini signed by Yann Vasnier for DIVINE.

Hypothermia can occur when the body's core temperature drops below 95°. When body temperatures drop below normal (around 98.6°), the body reacts by shivering.
"Shivering is the body's normal reaction to minor heat loss says Dr. Ivan Miller, Director of the Emergency Department at Westchester Medical Center. "Shivering is lots of little muscle contractions which creates energy and warmth. In addition, 'goose bumps' may form raising body hair on end in an attempt to create a layer of insulation around the body." Usually this returns the body temperature to normal.
"If the loss of body heat continues and body temperatures drop below 95°, shivering will become more violent, muscle coordination becomes clumsy as movement and speech may begin to become affected. Lips, earlobes, fingertips and toes may become white or blue as blood vessels contract to keep warm blood preferentially flowing to vital internal organs and away from cold extremities," adds Dr. Miller.
If left untreated, hypothermia becomes severe and may result in death if body temperature drops below 90°. "Victims will experience lethargy, unconsciousness, seizures and even cardiac arrest."
Dr. Miller adds, "If you will be outside for any amount of time during this cold snap, wear several layers with a waterproof outer layer and a hat. The head is a great source of heat loss for our body (30-40%). Ears and fingertips as well as noses are extremely susceptible to frost nip and frost bite."
Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages. Contrary to popular belief alcohol does not warm the body. In fact it has an opposite effect by causing vasodilatation which counteracts some of the body's defenses against the cold. It also suppresses shivering, and impairs judgment.
If you must be outside, limit your exposure to the cold by limiting your exposure to times when the sun is at its strongest.
Know your limitations. Don't over exert yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Elderly patients are at particular risk as are patients on certain pain medications.

ROCKFORD — The BMO Harris Bank Center is in the final stretch of a multimillion dollar facelift this week that Rockford IceHogs fans will see at Saturday's home opener.
A new retractable lower seating bowl is in place, and by reconfiguring the layout the arena has added about 400 seats. But there's still plenty of electrical work to finish. And plumbing. And flooring.
"It all comes together in the next 72 hours," said General Manager Gordon Kaye. "On Saturday night, the fans will see the finished product. I think they're going to like what they see."
A Blue Flame Lounge with hardwood floors and big-screen TVs will greet fans as they enter the arena and rise up the escalator. Food and beverage stations that line the perimeter of the concourse have been freshened up with new countertops, lighting, kitchen equipment and digital menu boards.
A new point-of-sale system means you can — finally — pay for your food and drinks with a credit card at every concession stand. There are new food options, too, including premium hot dogs, tacos and churros and an Ole Salty's Gourmet Potato Chip station.
Another signature upgrade is the Bud Select Deck, a bar and lounge — near the souvenir shop — with a white tile floor and decor that gives the look and feel of a hockey rink.
"People want social spaces," Kaye said. "They don't always want to get something to eat and go back to sit in their seat. The idea is to create areas where people can eat or have a drink and socialize."
A state grant is paying for the $1.5 million new seating bowl and other improvements made during the off season that patrons won't see: a new chiller and locker room renovations. SMG, the arena's private management firm, is investing $500,000 in the food and beverage improvements.
The Rockford IceHogs finished the 2012-13 season with a franchise record 4,560 average attendance at the BMO Harris Bank Center. Overall, the IceHogs lured 173,292 fans to downtown Rockford, up 7.4 percent from the previous season.
"I think we're going to be up again this year," Kaye said.
The additional seating capacity could certainly bolster the arena's bottom line. Lower-level seats fetch premium ticket prices and arena officials will offer variable pricing this season, charging a ticket premium for high-demand games and ticket discounts and other promotions for lower-demand games.
Andy Rio is already making plans. The co-owner of District Bar & Grill sometimes schedules twice as many wait staff to serve customers before and after IceHogs games on Friday and Saturday nights.
"The IceHogs are huge for us," Rio said. "Our staff basically goes from part-time to full-time. The Friday and Saturday night games seem to be the biggest nights of the year for us."

GTO949Details https://www.jbl.at/GTO949.html
400-watt, 6" x 9" three-way speakers
400-watt, 6" x 9" three-way speakers
25 – 400 watts suggested amplifier range
JBL engineers designed the GTO 949 coaxial speaker to produce strong, clear sound from a head-unit or amplifier capable of delivering up to 400 watts of power. This makes the GTO 949 an ideal match to systems powered with head-unit or factory-amplifier power levels, or even with many of the GTO Series amplifier combinations to help keep up with systems that feature one or more subwoofers. And its great power-handling specifications also increase reliability over the lifetime of the speaker.
Plus One woofer cone for increased bass output
The JBL GTO949 speaker features a Plus One woofer cone that puts up to 30 percent more surface area to work than a standard cone of the same size. It increases bass output while drawing less power from your amplifier.
Three-way design with edge-driven tweeters for bright, distinct high-frequency sound
The JBL GTO949 speaker uses a 1/2-inch (12-millimeter) super tweeter and a one-inch (25-millimeter) tweeter, both made of strong, lightweight My-Ti (Mylar-titanium laminate) material, and both with large voice coils. The result? Crystal-clear, extended high frequencies for true, high-end, audiophile-quality performance.
Built-in crossover network
Typical entry-level mobile loudspeakers use low-performance bass blockers to stop bass sound from reaching the tweeter. But the JBL GTO949 isn't typical. Its crossover network with advanced high-pass and low-pass filters creates a smooth transition between woofer and tweeter. You'll hear midrange vocals so lifelike that you'd think singers were riding along in the passenger seat.
Gold-plated terminals
Nothing beats gold for maximum corrosion resistance and minimal signal loss. So it should come as no surprise that we've plated the JBL GTO949 speaker terminals in it.
Grille with magnetic JBL logo badge included
Make your speakers look the way you want. You can rotate the JBL GTO949 speaker's logo badge to suit any installation.
JBL® GTO Series car audio speakers have long been the performance leaders in their price class, and today's GTO products meet this distinction with no exception. The JBL GTO949 is a 6-inch x 9-inch (152-millimeter x 230-millimeter), three-way speaker that features advanced materials and technologies for outstanding performance. Its proprietary Plus One® woofer cone puts up to 30 percent more surface to work and generates greater bass output than standard cones of the same size. The speaker's tweeter and super tweeter reproduce sounds up to 21kHz, above the high edge of human hearing. Its three-way design, with edge-driven My-Ti™ (Mylar®-titanium laminate) high-frequency and ultrahigh-frequency tweeters, delivers bright, distinct sound that rises above road noise. Its built-in crossover network uses advanced low-pass and high-pass filters to create a smooth transition from low tones to high so that your music comes through cleanly at all frequencies. We've even given the speaker gold-plated binding posts to ensure the best possible connection between the GTO949 and other components. Any factory-installed head unit can drive the GTO949 safely, and with a peak power rating of 400 watts, this speaker will deliver your favorite driving tunes as you've never heard them before.

Myths and Facts About Spaying and Neutering
By The Humane Society of the United States
MYTH:"My pet will get fat and lazy."
FACT: The truth is that most pets get fat and lazy because their owners feed them too much and don't give them enough exercise.
MYTH: "It's better to have one litter first."
FACT: Medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier. Many veterinarians now sterilize dogs and cats as young as eight weeks of age. Check with your veterinarian about the appropriate time for these procedures.
MYTH: "But my pet is a purebred."
FACT: So is at least one out of every four pets brought to animal shelters around the country. There are just too many dogs and cats—mixed breed and purebred.
MYTH: "I want my dog to be protective."
FACT: Spaying or neutering does not affect a dog's natural instinct to protect home and family. A dog's personality is formed more by genetics and environment than by sex hormones.
MYTH: "I don't want my male dog or cat to feel like less of a male."
FACT: Pets don't have any concept of sexual identity or ego. Neutering will not change a pet's basic personality. He doesn't suffer any kind of emotional reaction or identity crisis when neutered.
MYTH: "It's too expensive to have my pet spayed or neutered."
FACT: The cost of spaying or neutering depends on the sex, size, and age of the pet, your veterinarian's fees, and a number of other variables. But whatever the actual price, spay or neuter surgery is a one-time cost—a relatively small cost when compared to all the benefits. It's a bargain compared to the cost of having a litter and ensuring the health of the mother and litter; two months of pregnancy and another two months until the litter is weaned can add up to significant veterinary bills and food costs if complications develop. Most importantly, it's a very small price to pay for the health of your pet and the prevention of the births of more unwanted pets.
MYTH: "I'll find good homes for all the puppies and kittens."
FACT: You may find homes for all of your pet's litter. But each home you find means one less home for the dogs and cats in shelters who need good homes. Also, in less than one year's time, each of your pet's offspring may have his or her own litter, adding even more animals to the population. The problem of pet overpopulation is created and perpetuated one litter at a time.
