This is the first book I've read by author, Barry Lyga, and now I'm a fan!
I picked up this book because it was recommended (in the book HOW TO WRITE IRRESISTIBLE KIDLIT by Mary Kole) as an example of how to make an unreliable narrator likeable. The main character, Jazz, is certainly likeable in I HUNT KILLERS.
And this is a creepy book!
I was a little surprised that this was a YA book, because it is very gory, very violent, and it features the POV of the killer as well as the teenage main character. So while I'm not sure I'd run out and recommend this to the teenagers I know, I would definitely recommend it to my friends who read Dean Koontz and/or Stephen King.
And this is an excellent book in the study of psychology. Seriously. Is it possible for the son of a notorious serial killer to become anything not-like his father? And is it wrong for ALL parents to want their children to grow up to be better than them? ... Jazz's dad just wanted Jazz to become a better serial killer. YIKES.
Such a great book. I couldn't put it down. But if you don't like horror and gore, don't pick this one up.
Hi, Margo. It does sound like a creepy book. A serial killer wanting his son to be a better serial killer? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book.

Cool, to reflect on the fact that my Handelschule, in Triest, now in 2017 turns 200.
Tragic, to think that at its first centanary anniversary, on November 4th 2017, many of its students were fighting both at Kobarid or on the river Piave…being them engaged both on Austrian and Italian fronts.
And now, a hundred years later, Europe is still a work in progress, which seems rather to go backwards than forward. Today, the Rome Treaty anniversary. Ursula van den Layen says that populist movements are no longer on the rise. I hope she is right.

I know this has been brought up already, a million times, but I really need help. I have the WACF and I'm trying to embroider high profile, structured caps and it's just not working out.
I am embroidering 4 letters on the front of the cap and out of ten caps I think I have maybe 3 that are presentable.
I need these hats completed asap. I'm considering trying the other cap frames from melcomart.
Not sure what I should do, but need to make a decision as soon as possible.
Thank you Aaron. I just purchased the conventional frame from MelcoMart and should have it tomorrow. I was having the same problem on my caps that you were having.
If Melco were to call tomorrow and let me be the webmaster/it consultant of their site from my house and offers me a decent salary, I'm gone from my IT Managment role.
Seriously. Commuting 1.5 hours every day each way just ain't cutting it anymore.
Just think how great I could make things (even around this site) if I had 3 hours of my life back every day.
You know John, I spent 3-4 hours a day in my car for the past 3 years. Tomorrow is my last day at my full time job going to Dulles airport during rush hour each way from Olney. Took me 3 hours to get to work this morning because of that accident past River Rd that closed the beltway. (No more long commutes after tomorrow. YEA!!!) My job starting Tuesday is in Gaithersburg. 8 miles from home. I left the job interview last week at 5:10pm on a Friday and was home at 5:30pm. I'm gonna like this commute [img]smile.gif[/img] Not to mention, I will save about $150 each month in gas too.
Rub it in man... RUB IT IN!!! I'll think of you as I commute from Frederick to DC tomorrow.
Call them up and make an offer to the new management. I am sure many of us would back you up with the fact it needs to be updated and would vouch for your abilities.
When MelcoMart was ARC (about 12 years ago) They had warehouses in LA, Denver, NC, and Chicago. They were doing well because it didn't matter where you lived because most people could get thier supplies within 2 days. My parents used them all the time. Now they are only in Denver and UPS ground takes 5 days to get to me so I really don't use them. It would be nice if they opened a east coast warehouse.
Hi Guys, If you order from Melcomart on Mondays there is no shipping charge, least for right now.. I sell ARC thread in my shop and I always try to wait till Monday to order my supplies and thread..

The problem is much deeper than that, and trying to make us believe that it isn’t is just treating us as thought we are ignorant. The book had many flaws and by using only certain details and information and expecting us to feel sad and moved by it is insulting.

A new biography of Burns, Thomas appears in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography on this site.
Thomas Burns was born at Mossgiel, Ayrshire, on 10 April 1796, third son of Gilbert, brother of the poet. Burns received his early education at the parish school and at Wallace Hall Academy, Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, and, later, at the Grammar School at Haddington. In 1812 he entered the University of Edinburgh to study for the ministry of the Established Church of Scotland, meanwhile acting as tutor in the family of Sir John Dalrymple of Berwickshire. In 1823 Burns was licensed by the Presbytery of Haddington and, through the good offices of Sir John's brother, Sir Hugh, he was presented to the living at Ballantrae, to which he was inducted in April 1826. Early in 1830 he married Clementina, daughter of the Rev. James Francis Grant, Rector of Rodness, and Prebendary and Canon of Chichester Cathedral. Later in that year he accepted the presentation to the parish of Monkton, Ayrshire, a most lucrative living. Burns remained there until the Disruption of May 1843 when, together with some 400 ministers of the Established Church, he threw in his lot with the newly formed Free Church. For the next 18 months he remained at New Prestwick as Free Church Minister, but in mid-1844 he accepted a temporary appointment at nearby Maybole, meanwhile acting as evangelist to Free Church stations in various parishes under the general direction of the Home Mission Committee.
In the tense months immediately preceding the Disruption, Burns had been attracted by the New Edinburgh (Otago) plan of colonisation which George Rennie had outlined in August 1842. Rennie brought his project to the notice of the Acting Committee of the Colonial Schemes of the Free Church of Scotland, the upshot being the selection of Burns as minister for the new settlement. Burns was most enthusiastic and at this juncture worked in close association both with Rennie and with Captain William Cargill, the latter a Peninsular War veteran who was eager to emigrate. Despite their best efforts the scheme languished. Worse still, a rift developed between Rennie on the one hand and Burns and Cargill on the other. The point at issue was the extent to which the Free Church interests should control the settlement. Rennie, whose “liberalism” and religious convictions were regarded by Burns as “doubtful”, was all for a comprehensive Scottish scheme; Burns and Cargill would have none of it. Gradually Rennie was manoeuvred into the background and, in October 1845, he announced his withdrawal. “I cannot but trace the hand of a gracious Providence in all this purging of our unchristian leaven”, wrote Burns to his confidant, Cargill. Nevertheless, although the battle had been won for the Free Church, the situation was unpromising. The New Zealand Company which had been sponsoring the project through the Association of Lay Members of the Free Church of Scotland, was financially embarrassed, while in Scotland land sales were disappointing. On 25 June 1846, in a mood of despair, Burns accepted a call to the parish of Portobello, near Edinburgh, leaving Cargill to battle on as best he could, assisted by Dr Andrew Aldcorn (1792–1877), honorary secretary to the Glasgow committee, and John McGlashan, the salaried secretary of the Association at Edinburgh. Gradually prospects improved and, in October 1847, Burns's appointment as minister to the new settlement was reaffirmed. A small and, in some respects, unimpressive band of emigrants was got together and on 27 November the party sailed from Greenock in the Philip Laing. They reached Port Chalmers on 15 April 1848, some three weeks later than Cargill, who had arrived there in the John Wickliffe on 23 March.
Once at Otago, Burns gave evidence of practical leadership. He had a sound knowledge of farming from his boyhood days and his farm at Grants Braes, across the harbour from the little centre, Dunedin, vindicated his faith in the soil and climate of the district. He kept systematic meteorological records and, as he made his way throughout the Otago block, assessed the timber and mineral resources of the country. His encouraging reports did much to hearten the dispirited. He worked closely with Cargill, the New Zealand Company's agent, in planning the organisation of the community, especially on matters connected with the social, economic, and even political welfare of the emigrants. Above all, he never forgot his spiritual responsibilities to the people. For six years he toiled on unaided until 1854 when the Rev. William Bannerman and the Rev. William Will arrived to take over the Clutha and the Taieri charges respectively. Burns was now able to form the Presbytery of Otago, which was constituted in June 1854.
In the early years of settlement Burns appeared among his flock as a solemn and dignified figure. He wore a Geneva cap set above a grave face whose main features were the eyes, large and bright. To the community at large he was regarded as the personification of stern and uncompromising morality, and warrant, as it were, for its orthodoxy. From the very outset, says James Barr, he bore a patriarchal carriage and exercised a patriarchal influence, ever moving about and known to everyone. Like his colleague Cargill, over whom he exerted a strong influence, especially in matters spiritual, Burns lacked the saving grace of humour and saw in sinful humanity a subject mainly for censure. As a preacher Burns was strongly evangelical and his sermons, which were delivered in a rather stiff and dry manner, were directed towards the eradication of vices which flourished even in the Free Church theocracy. Burns's code was too rigid to placate the hostile minority – the “Little Enemy” – which had been present at Otago from the beginning, and his attitude did much to foster bitterness and dissension. With the ready support of Cargill he put an end to the first newspaper of the settlement, the Otago News, and it was he, through his mouthpiece Cargill, who cautioned the Rev. Chas. Creed the Methodist missionary at Waikouaiti, against trespassing on the Free Church preserves. Such cases – and there were many – were made much of by Burns's opponents both within and without the settlement and they were certainly an embarrassment to the Association's friends in London and Scotland. Part of the trouble sprang from Burns's inability to see that his predetermined pattern of “class” settlement was impracticable in a mixed community which from the outset was sharply divided on many issues, not least those of land purchase and religion. By the close of the fifties, however, events took a happier turn. Cargill's death in 1860 robbed Burns of a staunch ally, and the gold rushes of the early sixties, with their thousands of the “New Iniquity”, almost overwhelmed the “Old Identities” of the first decade.
Burns was now 65 and his great period of leadership had ended. With his physical and mental powers waning, he was content to devote himself to the ministry of the First Church of Otago, Dunedin. Despite his defects of leadership, Burns had worked steadily for an ideal and it was fitting that due recognition should come from his old University, Edinburgh, which in 1861 conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. A true Scot in his appreciation of the value of education within the framework of the province, Burns, like Macandrew, had constantly urged the Provincial Council to set aside land endowments for higher education. But secularisation he as zealously opposed, for that would be a moral breach of trust with the aims of the founders of the Association. When the University of Otago was constituted, none questioned Burns's right to the office of Chancellor; as such, he presided over the first meeting of the council on 10 November 1869. But the sands were fast running out and he did not live to see the inaugural ceremony of 5 July 1871. Early in that year he had had a sudden collapse, and he died at his home, “Bankton”, London Street, Dunedin, on 23 January 1871.
Burns was survived by his wife (died 19 July 1878), six daughters, and a son, Arthur John (1830–1901). The eldest daughter, Clementina, married A. J. Elles (Ellis), Captain of the Philip Laing, at Dunedin on 14 June 1848, shortly after their arrival at Otago. Elles settled at Invercargill in 1856, where he held a number of official appointments both there and at the Bluff. He died at Invercargill on 4 September 1886, aged 70. Arthur John Burns, the oldest of the family, came to Otago with his father in the Philip Laing and played a prominent part in provincial affairs, being a member of the Provincial Council from 1855 to 1859 and again from 1863 to 1870. He was a member of the House of Representatives on three occasions and vigorously opposed the abolition of the provinces. He was interested in developing secondary industries and founded the Mosgiel Woollen Co. in 1869.

My question when I read this quote was, “Do I? Do I really know who I am?” Then I realised that it is easier to live through someone else than to complete yourself. The freedom to lead and plan your own life is frightening if you have never faced it before. It is frightening when a woman finally realizes that there is no answer to the question ‘who am I’ except the voice inside herself.
This journey of self discovery is one of the most interesting and profound journey one can ever take. I took my first step…and I continue on that journey every day of my life.
It’s a wild ride. But, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel: our perspectives about our selves and this life shift tremendously and open the doors for some miraculous opportunities, love, and peace.
I’ve learned some of these lessons the hard way, but once I learned them, life became a lot clearer and the road to wherever I’m going is becoming more and more effortless and enjoyable. There are still times that arise which aren’t so picturesque, however, right now, I’m just better equipped to ride that rocky wave and can remind myself to settle into what I know.
The key here being aware of “what I know”. This awareness comes in layers, doses and never at once. It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives. I can assure all of you out there, that initially, the pain was because I was so conditioned to discovering my weaknesses, warts and wasted life. The more I focused on those aspects, the more suffering I inflicted on myself…without even realizing it.
Till such a time, when I was told by my dear friend, Suzy, who helped me create an emotional platform for myself, wherein the first step was to start loving me for myself. What a relief it was to finally peel the first layer and I took the first step of accepting myself, warts and all, and love myself as I am. In that process, I kind of died inside in order to rise from my own ashes and believe in myself and love myself to become a new person.
Suzy, my “Wise Woman” told me, “Prepare yourself to take a journey. One that will help you remember who you are beneath all the clutter of everyday life.””The clutter of every day life?” though I had heard the term before, it somehow made sense to me , once I took a moment and thought about how my life had being going recently. Then the gloom set in! The gloom because as I examined my life, it seemed more like a merry go round without any stops, where I could get off and just catch my breath. There were so many things I had filled into my life…and that day I was forced to think of the purpose of doing so many things at one time. Was I happy?”That is what you get when you think gloomy thoughts,” Suzy’s voice penetrated the gloom like the flare of a torch gleaming through a fog.
“How can my thoughts change who I am?” I asked. That sounded impossible.
“Okay,” I said, not quite sure that I could argue with that, but not sure I totally believed it either.
“The point is not to swallow what I say. Question it, test it out in your own life, bounce it off of your life experience and see if what I say rings true for your life.” That did surprise me as I realised that while we grow up, we are conditioned to accepting & absorbing a lot of ideas and superficial reasoning mixed in. When we are young, we are taught to listen and not talk back. And so we develop the habit of thinking that everyone knows more than we do — which is true when we are very young and lack life experience.
1. Instead of just listening & following, I should have led and questioned.
2. I had to think for myself and make my own decisions.
3. I had to break my shell and the limitations set by others on my life.
4. I had to start discovering myself and what I was to do with my life.
Often this is a vision quest — and what you discover about who you are resets the expectations of those around you regarding what life tasks and life path you are meant to follow. Clearly, not all of the above happened effectively in my life. Yes, I could make decisions, which allowed me to break my shell every once in a while. However, I could not battle the collective limitations that were set on me by others around me. It was frustrating to say, the least.
Did I really want to discover who I was?
Was it too late for me?
Would knowing who I was to become, change me?
Did I want that change?
Was I willing to risk what I had for something better?
Would these answers leave me worse off?
Would I be able to live the life of my dreams?
My vision quest led me to ten basic building blocks that support my life today. I am happy to share that with everyone around me. These I have shown as pictographic representations across my writing.
Finally, the bottom line is, even if you see ’em coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are. The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
As for me…life begins anew everyday !!!

Studies demonstrate that about 90% of ladies and 10% of men are influenced by cellulite (the knotty substance that looks like dimples on the skin). Cellulite influences those more than 30, however, a few youngsters also, paying little mind to estimate.
While we can’t totally evacuate cellulite with eating regimen, exercise or body wraps, we can diminish these fat cells through exercise, especially by trampolining. A trampoline is successful on the grounds that it causes you to consume fat and fabricate muscle, which thusly decreases the zones that will, in general, get cellulite.
Trampolines Reduce Restlessness and Alleviate Stress.
Fretfulness, or the failure to unwind (be still or rest) influences individuals everything being equal. This can be brought about by anything — drinking a lot of caffeine, stress, physical torment, and so on.
For children with ADHD, ricocheting diverts vitality and work out anxiety. Exercise likewise improves our general rest quality after some time, as indicated by The US National Library of Medicine. Since ricocheting is a type of activity, you can really decrease a sleeping disorder by trampolining.
In the realm of innovation, our children are progressively subject to video recreations, internet-based life, POA5, messaging, TV, and so forth. Accordingly, fewer children are playing conventional outside recreations, riding their bicycles, swimming, or notwithstanding strolling.
Trampolines invigorate play, making exercises fun once more They are a much-needed diversion you don’t need to drive them to do, in contrast to an exhausting, unwanted task.
Trampolines Keep You Younger Longer.
Trampolines moderate down the maturing procedure brought about by the gravitational force, balancing the hang that frequently accompanies maturing.
As you impel upward and achieve the tallness of your ricochet, you’re weightless. At that point, as you decelerate and achieve the base of your skip (the tangle), the gravitational power expands, fortifying your muscles, cells, and bones all the while. The outcome is a firmer, more tightly you outwardly and a more advantageous, more youthful you within.
Trampolines Strengthen Your Heart and Lungs.
Like strolling, running and cycling, trampolining is oxygen-consuming in nature and works with your cardiovascular framework, diminishing your pulse and circulatory strain. Studies demonstrate that 20 to 30 minutes, four times each week, carry out the responsibility. Truth be told, when contrasted with different activities, you can pick up these advantages in as meager 01 10 minutes.
Hopping on a trampoline assists with your general equalization and coordination, which is critical for individuals everything being equal. The trampoline that has a net catches them and tosses them back.
At the point when your kid bounces on a trampoline, they consequently concentrate on a consistently changing landing position. This movement improves their equalization, however, manufactures their engine aptitudes to. These engine abilities, thusly, channel into different parts of life, improving your tyke’s picking up, perusing and everyday exercises.
Trampolines are incredible for children, however, adults as well As we age, our engine abilities start to decay, making it harder to keep up our equalization. Bouncing back animates the joint receptors for improved strength, limiting fall and damage.
Trampolines Help with Weight Loss.
Similarly, as with different types of activity, an all-around adjusted eating regimen and normal trampolining can help with weight reduction and weight upkeep.

I'm linking up with Stacy. Come join the fun!
I'm so mad at Bath and Body Works! No, not mad enough to quit buying their products, of course. They used to have aromatherapy "sleep" fragrances: lavender & chamomile and lavender & vanilla. They still make a lavender vanilla fragrance, but it's different. They don't carry the lavender chamomile fragrance anymore. They changed their "sleep" fragrance to lavender and cedarwood. It's nice, but it's not the same! They also have a "comfort" fragrance that is nice: vanilla and patchouli. It's kind of like candy and pepper. I like it!
Speaking of cedarwood... When I was growing up, I was always told that my sister was allergic to cedar so I would inherit my mom's cedar chest. I loved that cedar chest. I had it in my home for a while waaayyyyy back when I was in my 20's, but I have no idea what happened to it. It sorta bums me out.
And speaking of allergies... I've been writing a personal narrative at work, teaching my students how to write, so I've been writing about the time I stepped on a nail when I was 6 or 7. That is when they found out I was allergic to tetanus. Yep! I got out of taking the DPT booster vaccine all my life because of it. I don't know if that's good or bad. It just IS. You might be surprised how difficult it is to document this kind of allergy for school officials. I was always very careful about playing outside barefooted after that.
I saw this on Facebook, and it made me sad. I, too, have a Master's Degree, many, many years experience, and have had to work two jobs to make ends meet. It shouldn't be this way. I'd be making two or three times my current salary if I were a professional in another industry.

Any employer, including self-employed individuals, can establish a SEP.
How do I establish a SEP?
There are three basic steps in setting up a SEP, all of which must be satisfied.
individually designed SEP plan document.
Provide each eligible employee with information about the SEP. If you established the SEP using the Form 5305-SEP, the information must include a copy of the Form 5305-SEP, its instructions and the other information listed in the Form 5305-SEP instructions. If you used a prototype SEP or individually designed SEP, you must provide similar information.
Set up a SEP-IRA for each eligible employee with a bank, insurance company or other qualified financial institution. The employee owns and controls the SEP-IRA.
You can set up a SEP plan for a year as late as the due date (including extensions) of your business’s income tax return for that year.
If I have a SEP, can I also have other retirement plans?
You can maintain both a SEP and another plan. However, unless the other plan is also a SEP, you cannot use Form 5305-SEP; you must adopt either a prototype SEP or an individually designed SEP.
Can I set up a SEP for my self-employment income if I participate in my employer's retirement plan?
Yes, you can set up a SEP for your self-employed business even if you participate in your employer's retirement plan at a second job.
Can each partner in a partnership maintain a separate SEP plan?
No, only an employer can maintain and contribute to a SEP plan for its employees. For retirement plan purposes, each partner or member of an LLC taxed as a partnership is an employee of the partnership.
Do I need to update my SEP plan?
It is your responsibility to ensure that you keep your plan up-to-date with current law. If you set up your plan with a prototype plan document, you should have received an amended plan from the financial institution that provided it. If you didn't receive a new plan document, contact the financial institution. If you set up your plan with Form 5305-SEP, adopt a new form when the IRS updates it. See the instructions to Form 5305-SEP.
Can each of my employees choose a different financial institution for his or her SEP-IRA?
Although the law does not require each participant’s SEP-IRA to be at the same financial institution, the institution that offers or administers the SEP may require you to deposit SEP contributions initially into SEP-IRAs maintained at that institution.

I've been reading about electronics for a while and watching the Make podcast and I've finally started making my own projects. Anyway I have some cordless tools with 3 extra batteries but only one of them still takes a charge. So I thought it would be cool if I could put a power supply in one of my dead batteries so that I could plug it into the wall. I've been looking around my garage and thrift stores for a wall wart that would get the job done (the batteries are 19.2V Craftsman batteries I think they pull about 2000ma) but the closest I've been able to find is an old laptop power cord has a DC output of 19v and 3.9amps. So I'm not sure if that will work or if the extra amps will burn out my tools or something. Does anyone know if it would work? If not how can I dial down the amps?
Well that's good to know, unfortunately I think there may be some sort of safety device (or maybe it's just dead) on my power supply because when I hooked it to an old 18v drill the I got for free it didn't do anything. Oh, and the reason I wanted to make an ac adapter for my tools was so that I could still use my tools while recharging my battery since I only have one that works. Thanks for your help.
that adapter... connect it to your drill, press and hold the trigger, then plug the power supply to the outlet have you tried using a battery with the drill? did you verify, that the PSU works by using a multimeter?
I haven't tried it out on my Craftsman tools yet because I didn't want to risk damaging them if I was wrong, and I don't own a multimeter so I haven't checked to see if the PSU works or not, but it worked the last time it was plugged into the laptop. I'll have to try what holding the trigger in before I plug it in and/or hook it up to my Craftsman drill. Do you think the fact that I was using a 19v PSU on an 18v drill could have anything to do with it?
an extra volt shouldn't do much of anything to harm a motor. Do you know if it was fused? (has a fuse somewhere that could have blown).
Search instructables for cordless tools, a few have converted cordless to corded. Good luck.

The “Target 2000” Challenge was available to all Guides who were participating in the Challenge. Challenges were issued to the girls and the badge was worn on the sash during the time of the Challenge, starting in 1998.
In conjunction with this Challenge was the “Friend Maker” program. Girls joining the Unit as a friend of a member were given a free “reward sticker”. After four weeks the Friend Maker badge was available. The “Friend Maker” half of the badge was given to the Guide who introduced the new friend when that girl became a member. The “New Friend” part of the badge was then given to the friend. The Friendship Chain could continue with girls introducing more than one friend and receiving extra badges.

Dragonfly Coffee House on NW Thurman.
Part of NW Portland Week.
Thurman Street is the last neighborhood north where you can find the sort of stuff that, for a lot of people, make Portland Portland.
One block north of the Food Front Cooperative Grocery and the gluten-free bakery Dessert Labs, you hit the Holiday Inn Express. Then come the railroad tracks, warehouses, gravel distributors, floodplains and eventually just trees to the end of the earth, or at least to Scappoose.
Walking down Thurman Street itself is so rewarding that one of Portland’s most famous residents wrote a whole book about it. They keep a copy behind the reference desk at the branch library on NW 23rd and Thurman: Blue Moon over Thurman Street, published in 1993 by the novelist Ursula K. Le Guin and the photographer Roger Dorband.
Le Guin (who’s now 86 and still lives off Thurman) recruited Dorband (then a Portlander, now based in Astoria) to walk Thurman with her in July 1985 and tell the stories of the street.
But the book, and Thurman Street itself, is all the more beautiful for a story that isn’t in it: Just like Division and Clinton streets in southeast Portland, it was supposed to be long gone by now. Thurman spent most of the 1970s scheduled to be purchased by the Oregon Department of Transportation and bulldozed to make way for what would have been Interstate 505, a 1.4-mile freeway spur that would have connected I-405 directly to St. Helens Road.
Double dashed line: planned route of I-505 from 1966 Portland Comprehensive Development Plan.
Why did Thurman survive long enough for Le Guin and Dorband to memorialize it, and for Portlanders to park their bikes in the corral outside the Dragonfly Coffee House today? In part because of the mostly forgotten actions of two women 37 years ago.
One of them was Connie McCready, the last Republican to serve as mayor of Portland. The other was Marjie Lundell, a northwest Portlander working as one of McCready’s assistants when she was a city commissioner in 1979.
Thanks to the defunct website of the late Portland planner and historian Ernie Bonner, which you can still browse on Archive.org, we tracked down Lundell and spoke with her by phone on Thursday. Here’s a lightly edited version of what happened, in Lundell’s words, when the decision to condemn the land along Thurman and Savier streets for Interstate 505 came before Portland City Council.
I think it’s one of the best stories ever in City Hall.
I was living in an apartment in Northwest: 23rd and Glisan. The highway department had been saying for years that they were going to build that freeway. Nobody was doing everything to improve property because everybody knew there was going to be a freeway there. It’s social engineering at its scariest.
Connie was a very interesting person to work with. She was a reporter herself, so fair and balanced reporting was absolutely required. But you could pitch.
The council was split 3-1 in favor of the freeway, and Connie hadn’t announced a position. Lloyd Anderson was on the council; he was an engineer, and he was planning to vote yes. Connie really, really trusted his opinion.
It was the day of the vote, and they were to vote at 2 o’clock. And we would go out to lunch. So I just said, “Let’s take a tour of the Thurman-Vaughn corridor and have a look at the land you’re going to vote on.” So we drove Thurman. and Connie would say, “Oh look at that little Victorian house!” And I would go, “That would be part of the take.” And I had also arranged for lunch at a little Chinese restaurant in the industrial area. Because the idea was that we needed the freeway because it was so hard to get to the industrial area, and I wanted to show how easy it was to get there.
At lunch, I made my pitch the last time. And she said, “You know, everything you said makes sense to me, you may even be right, but Lloyd is going to vote yes.” So that was it.
It said There is still time to choose an alternate path.
When we got back to City Hall, it came in that Lloyd was going to change his vote to “no” on the freeway. She gave him the fortune cookie, and when he was explaining his vote he read it to the council.
It was a cliffhanger and people knew that she was the swing. When she announced her no vote, all the people from Northwest burst into applause.
If you go down to the Thurman-Vaughn corridor today and look east, it looks exactly like the architectural rendering back then said it would: apartment houses and little shops and people walking dogs. I eventually bought a house, and later I learned that the bank that my house sits on would have been the berm for the freeway going off into St. Helens.
A lot of the reporting we’ve done on northwest Portland this week has looked at ways the area is trying to reconnect the neighborhoods that were split by one fateful decision: the construction of Interstate 405. If it weren’t for the work of Portlanders like McCready and Lundell, among many others, we’d have a lot more problems to write about today.
Thanks for this post also go to Carl Larson, a longtime fan of NW Thurman who introduced me to Le Guin’s book, and to former Mayor Bud Clark, a northwest Portland resident who remembered part of the fortune cookie story and wrote to Bonner about it. Correction 4/17: An earlier version of this post omitted relevant details about Anderson’s vote, which also changed at the last minute.
Stories like that and the cancelled SW Multnomah Expressway are rarely told. The residents of Garden Home received the Fanno Creek Trail instead of a car freeway.
I don’t know the Multnomah Expressway story, Rick! Got more about that?
The Oregon Electric Trolley ran on SW Multnomah Blvd and had an extension on SW Maplewood Road. This trolley split in Garden Home and one connected to Metzger and downtown Tigard while the other one went to downtown Beaverton.
Does ODOT have documents? The ought to share their cancelled plans on the Active Transportation part of their site.
That first map would make an amazing rail transport system though!
I’m from Minnesota. We pulled survey markers repeatedly for years as boys to stop I-94 from bulldozing through our beautiful area west of Sunfish lake. Unfortunately, once the bridge was started across the Minnesota river destruction was irreversable. That was the probably the biggest betrayal I’ve ever felt and the reason I left that frigid dump at 18 for somewhere . . .
How to say it in PC. . . A bit different. I love Oregon.
I thus ALWAYS question the intended purpose of oversized scale bridges.
Indeed, the story of I-505 often gets ignored. I always wonder what it would have been like if Portland had stopped I-405 and I-5 from ripping apart the fabric of inner neighborhoods.
It would be like SE Powell every 3-4 blocks in a grid pattern.
It would be like Vancouver Canada.
Ahhh, yes. Thurman. Remember the Forestry Building? Old Early Winters store? Norm Thompson Outfitters (where I bought a pair of elephant hide shoes — now illegal — which were the most comfortable and waterproof shoes ever).
Wow, Michael! I lived in this neighborhood for years and knew about the planned freeway, but I never heard this story about why it never happened. Thurman Street should have a Fortune Cookie Fest street party every summer.
OMG, that’s an awesome idea, Rebecca!! NW Thurman indeed should have a fortune cookie people’s fair every year! And fortunes could be read aloud and even be awarded prizes for numerous categories, not the least of which is a category focusing on City Repair-esque placemaking throughout the Thurman/Vaughn corridor.
I was in Seattle for a CBC ride recently, and they had fortune cookies at one stop (in the ID, of course). The messages were biking-specific.
They should have a giant rotating fortune cookie on a stick somewhere.
This is an amazing story. Thanks for sharing it!
Wonderful story, wonderful storytelling. I really enjoyed this!
Great story, now I’ll have to read that book. I’ve been wanting to see pictures of that era (and especially of the 1990s on 23rd).
And Bud Clark is the best, of course.
In the early 80’s I used to live in a house on 22nd and Vaughn, now gone, since the 405 ramp was built there. Anyone know what is getting built on Thurman and 28th, where they just tore down that blue bldg?
There’s no new permit shown (beyond the demo this year) in portlandmaps.com as of 4/17/16. The address there is 1831 NW 28th, if you want to track it.
It was torn down for having structural issues. The owners are obv from out of town, and it was up for sale for $5mm when the demo happened. The owners probably levelled it and then are selling the property for something. That’s backwards of most things, where it gets levelled because a project is pending.
When I was a young boy here in SE Portland, my Mom was part of the grass roots effort to shut down the Edwin Moses inspired Mt. Hood Freeway that would have cut a massive swath through my very livable neighborhood. However, I do not remember the story of the proposed I-505. I lived in the NW neighborhood in the early 1990s and am intimate with Thurman and Vaughn. Thank you for bringing this bit of Portland history to light. Oh, and NYC is still trying to recover from Edwin Moses’ ripping apart of neighborhoods.
Edwin Moses was a *slightly* different Moses! Sorry, couldn’t resist. 🙂 Robert Moses was the guy who destroyed more of New York City’s urban connectivity than any other single person ever has. And Edwin Moses is certainly a fitting reference, because Robert Moses did indeed “hurdle” right over hundreds of government blockades to get his way for decades! Fortunately he stumbled in his hurdle attempts with Jane Jacobs and friends, who were able to block a few of his most disastrous proposals.
I have a copy of the 1966 Portland Comprehensive Development Plan, courtesy of Kernal Moses.
I snapped a couple shots showing the route of the I-505 freeway as proposed in 1966.
Look at how nicely it would have linked up with the Prescott Freeway and Going Expressway via the Fremont Bridge.
This is a good example, folks, of how tight the margin can be between failure and success.
Always make the effort to reach out, share the things you love with those who have the power to preserve or destroy them.
In the 1970s, anticipating the construction of I-505 in the Thurman-Vaughn Corridor alignment, ODOT purchased most (or all?) of the affected properties between those two streets. In the early 80s, after the planned alignment was dropped, some good things happened to the sites as ODOT sold them off. PDC did several projects there. They did apts on NW Upshur between 26th & 27th Aves, and helped Food Front move to the NE corner of NW Thurman at 27th.
PDC also converted an 8-unit brick apt bldg to condos, on the north side of Thurman in the 2700 block. They installed insulation and new individual boilers, and arranged for subsidized mortgages. In 1981 PDC offered the units to the current tenants. Two of the units were purchased by tenants, the other six were sold in a lottery. A year later, I purchased one of the units and have lived in the building since then.
I’m sure there are a lot more stories to be told about the properties that ODOT purchased for I-505, then sold off when the plans changed.
The stories that usually come to light are cases like a 1910 era home 3 blocks down the street from me. PDC helped finance exterior renovation of the structure. The owner never finished the interior. The property has sat abandoned and slowly rotting away for five years now. Thanks, PDC.
Wow… so I-505 was killed before the Mt Hood Freeway? If so, the death of the MHF might need to be moved into place as more of a continuation/culmination in the story of Portland’s avoiding Death by Interstate than as a the start of it. (Setting aside Harbor Drive/Waterfront Park as not part of the Interstate system.) Thanks for the story.
The MHF plan was cancelled earlier than I-505. I think it was in 1974.

He was a royal vampire, powerful, charming and deadly if threatened. Friedrich also has a secret agenda to save humanity from the brutal vampire king, his uncle.
Fiercely independent and driven to protect her young charges, school teacher, Brennalyn will do anything to give a better life to the street orphans she shelters, including acting as a spy for the Black Lily. What Brennalyn hadn’t allowed for was the sensual power and magnetic attraction of the Duke of Winterhill. How can she possibly fulfill her duties to the Black Lily if this vampire has her weak in the knees like a young schoolgirl? How far must she go to convince Friedrich to give up secrets she can send to the rebels? What if he is nothing like she thought he would be? What if he had his own agenda she never could have expected?
Juliette Cross hits another home run with THE WHITE LILY! Filled with characters that run the gamut from clever to adorable, beautiful to devastatingly handsome, their physical descriptions are only part of what makes this tale come to life! Each scene is like stepping into this tale, each character is dynamic in their own right, with a feisty and big-hearted heroine just a little out of her league as a spy and a dashing vampire with a heart and the daring to do “the right thing” for humans as well as vampires. Together, Friedrich and Brennalyn are the fabric that creates a beautiful tapestry of intrigue, romance and even light-hearted moments!
I received an ARC edition from Juliette Cross!
Thank you so much for reading and for this lovely review!

Chick Lit Central: Winners of "What More Could You Wish For"
To find our winners, we assigned a number to each entry (from only the entries with contact info) and asked random.org to choose FIVE numbers!
I'm still on a high from publishing my debut novel with St. Martin's Press - it is beyond thrilling. I feel like prom queen!
But that's just the beginning of this process - now we have to figure out how to get people to find it. So I'm eternally grateful to Chick Lit Central for featuring it on their website, helping to spread the word, and hosting the contest. It was such fun to read the comments and stories. It's an amazing world we live in, isn't it, where you can so easily find people from long ago. Actually, "What More Could You Wish For" was inspired by some events in my life, one of them being that I connected with a former flame on Classmates.com, someone I hadn't seen since I was 18. But don't go thinking the book is an autobiography - it's complete fiction. Well...mostly!
Thanks to all of you who entered the contest. I hope the winners will enjoy it and that maybe a little something in it will resonate. Maybe those of you who didn't win will be inspired to read it too, and then I would love to hear from all of you!
Thanks to everyone for participating and telling us about your reunions with classmates.
Thanks to Samantha for a fun interview and to St. Martin's Press for sharing the book with our winners.
Great news ! THanks for sharing the results.

ADMITTEDLY, THE MONITORING OF TEMPERATURES IN YOUR MEDICATION storage areas is not the most exciting topic, and we all have countless other things to think about. However, given the problems you may have experienced with your manual temperature monitoring methods – such as lost paper logs at Joint Commission survey time or expensive medications that have been wasted in out-of-limit refrigerators – it makes good sense to take a closer look at wireless temperature monitoring systems. Most hospitals need to improve their temperature monitoring processes, and these systems are an effective, automated means of doing so.
Many hospitals use small consumer-grade refrigerators to store medications on their nursing units and in other care areas, and once or twice a day, a pharmacy technician will check the temperatures in these refrigerators and record his or her findings in a paper log. More and more facilities are using medical-grade refrigerators, equipped with audible temperature alarms, chart monitors, or hard-wired monitoring systems, to store medications in the central pharmacy.
Documenting the temperatures of all of these units is a time-consuming task for pharmacy staff, and furthermore, checking the temperatures once or twice a day will not give you an accurate or comprehensive assessment of your medication storage conditions. Because nursing unit mini-fridges typically do not have fans to circulate cold air inside the box and because their doors are repeatedly opened and reopened during med passes, true refrigerator temperatures are likely more erratic than the steady 36°o to 38°o Fahrenheit indicated by paper logs.
Wireless systems can effectively automate your temperature monitoring activities. A typical system comprises hardware, software, and a personal computer or server. Temperatures are measured by a probe, which uses a transmitter to output radio frequency (RF) signals to a receiver. The receiver is connected to the hospital’s internal computer network, which then routes the temperature data to the computer. Signal boosters or repeaters may be needed to increase the operational range of the transmitters. Once the temperature information reaches the computer, the software stores the data and determines if an alert should be triggered. Users can view temperatures, respond to alarms, document follow-up actions, and generate summary reports from the computer.
In selecting a system for your facility, check with your biomedical engineering, facilities, and IT departments to make sure the system is suitable for your environment; the RF signal will not interfere or be interfered with by other systems, such as telemetry or portable phones; and the software and network requirements are compatible with your current systems. Addressing these concerns up front will narrow your vendor options and facilitate a smooth installation.
There are a few product features that you should look for in a wireless refrigerator temperature monitoring system. Alert features are a must; they tell you when and where something is wrong, so you do not have to go looking for a problem. The temperature alerts in your system should be fully customizable to accommodate your facility’s needs and offer several notification options, such as e-mail, alphapages, or computer pop-ups. Regardless of the delivery mechanism, you must be able to easily document and report the actions taken to address the alert via the system’s software.
The system should also inform you if the probe transmitter, repeater, or receiver is not functioning properly or if it needs repair. At a minimum, any battery-operated devices, such as the temperature transmitter or backup batteries in the repeater or receiver, should report a low battery charge. Also, if temperature data is not being received and recorded, you should be able to quickly identify the truant transmitters. If you plan on deploying your system in locations without emergency power or in off-site clinics, you may require a system with “buffering” capabilities that allow the battery-operated devices to store data in the event of power outage or network downtime.
You should also find out what accessories are available for your system, specifically temperature probes. Air probes are standard on most systems, but a submersible probe, which is less susceptible to temperature fluctuations during med passes, may be more appropriate for high-use refrigerators. Also, for the storage of blood products and other highly sensitive items, a submersible probe may prove more effective than an air probe. Submersible probe readings more accurately represent the temperature of the products in your storage areas, whereas air probe readings more accurately represent the air temperature. As such, submersible probes may be a better option for recording the temperatures of products that require more precise monitoring. Also, special probes may be needed for refrigerators that store investigational drugs or products that require extremely cold temperatures.
Although it will vary by vendor, any installation should follow a similar process. The vendor should conduct a site survey to determine the number of repeaters and receivers you will need. At this point, your IT department may need to provide some network connections for the receivers. Also, if the signal repeaters are going to be hidden above the ceiling tiles, new power outlets may be required. Once these steps have been completed, the installation is rather painless. Even a large pharmacy department can have the equipment installed and connected in just a few days. Next, the software is loaded and the transmitters are registered with the system by naming the refrigerator or freezer, setting the alarm values, and organizing them into groups, if necessary. Finally, the signal connectivity should be verified and any outstanding issues should be addressed. For instance, if transmitter signals are not getting through to the receiver, you may want to consider installing signal-boosting equipment in those problem areas.
When installing your temperature probes, place them in neither a particularly cold nor particularly hot spot in the refrigerator. For instance, situating a probe under a refrigerator’s fan will cause your probe to collect readings that are higher than the actual location temperature. On the other hand, storing a probe in the bottom of a refrigerator may lead to temperature readings that are colder than actual storage conditions.
Pharmacy maintains the refrigerators and reviews all monitoring data.
Ultimately, however, pharmacy will be held accountable for how medications and vaccines are stored in the hospital. So you cannot just forget about your monitoring systems, even if you do not have direct oversight of them.
Familiarize yourself with your wireless temperature monitoring system’s reporting capabilities from the start. Make sure you can generate the kind of reports you need to document temperature trending in your medication storage areas, before a regulatory agency is at your door, asking to see your documentation. Understand your data and store it where it is easily retrievable when you need to reference it. In addition, be sure you are generating reports that track the specific data required by different regulatory agencies, such as your state board of pharmacy, the Joint Commission, CMS, and the CDC.
Check your system’s software interface daily for lowbattery warnings or other alerts. Although your system is meant to notify you when temperatures are out of range, generating weekly graphs of the recorded temperatures for each of your storage areas is a proactive way to prevent out-ofrange conditions before they occur. For instance, a graph may illustrate that temperatures are slowly creeping up in one of your nursing unit refrigerators. Using that information, you can perform the necessary maintenance on that refrigerator before medications are wasted from being stored in out-of-range conditions.
You should be especially vigilant in your data collection and analysis following the installation of a new refrigerator, in order to ensure that the equipment is capable of maintaining the necessary temperatures for its intended use. You may find that, no matter what tweaks you make to a refrigerator, it is simply incapable of maintaining the necessary temperature range. With this in mind, think carefully before buying “dormitory” style refrigerators for medication storage. You may be able to source them at a great price, but if they are not able to maintain required temperature ranges, that bargain will hardly save your facility any money in the long run.
Keep in mind that “false alarms” will occur with temperature monitoring systems. For example, a medication freezer may maintain an appropriate average temperature, but when the compressor runs, the temperature may spike for a minute or two. That condition will trigger an alarm, but may not adversely affect the medications stored in the refrigerator. In addition, temperatures may spike during med passes, due to the frequent opening of their doors. To avoid false alarms in these instances, you can extend the alert intervals for high-traffic refrigerators, so that the system only reports longer-term out-oflimit conditions. As long as your products are still being appropriately stored, such tweaks can decrease the possibility of false alarms and simplify your temperature monitoring processes.
When your monitoring system alerts you to an out-of-range temperature, you first need to physically inspect the storage area. Has the door been left open? Has someone inadvertently moved the temperature dial? Is the refrigerator malfunctioning and on its last legs? You may choose to move the drugs or vaccines to another location, until you can rectify the situation and stabilize the storage area temperature. It is a good idea to pre-determine an alternate storage area for these products in the event of a systems failure, as well as identify a staff member with the responsibility of relocating them. If you do not operate a 24-hour pharmacy, you may need to appoint an on-call staff member to move the products in the event of an afterhours failure. Address these logistical concerns upon implementing your monitoring system to avoid chaos should a systems failure occur.
Finally, use your monitoring system’s data to determine whether the products involved are still appropriate for patient administration. Because medications and vaccines are under our jurisdiction, pharmacy will be responsible for clearing these products for use in the event of out-of-range conditions. Your system data should reveal how long the drugs were stored inappropriately, and your knowledge of the necessary storage conditions will inform you of their viability for use in patient care.
A wireless temperature monitoring system can be a valuable tool for ensuring the optimal conditions of your medication storage areas and for improving pharmacy workflow and efficiency. With the proper utilization of system data and well-thought-out action plans, the use of these systems can free up technicians’ time, increase the ease and accuracy of required documentation, and ensure proper storage conditions for your pharmaceutical products – an important aspect of any facility’s mission to provide safe and effective care to its patients.

Traveling for business can be challenging, with extended hours on a plane, hectic agendas and long meetings with colleagues. You barely have time to sleep, let alone think about how you will find healthy foods to eat, but there are some steps you can take to eat right while you're away. By taking a few extra minutes to adequately prepare for your trip and making wise choices when you are on the road, you can fuel your body and get the energy you need to power through your busy days.
Pack snacks for while you're en route and for your destination. Popcorn, pretzels, chopped vegetables and fruits, nutrition bars with five or fewer natural ingredients, granola and trail mix can be snacks for your flights and airport layovers. They also serve as a quick breakfast on-the-go.
Choose deli-style meals when you are stuck eating at the airport. Customize your own sandwich with lean meats, vegetables and whole grain breads, choose broth-based soups and select salads with vinegar and olive oil.
Skip the pastry and donut platter at meetings and conferences. Choose fresh fruit if it is available and consider bringing your own nutrition bar or trail mix, or pick up a whole grain bagel with nut butter if a bakery is close.
Drink coffee, tea and water or sparkling water during meetings instead of high-sugar, high-calorie or artificially sweetened soft drinks and fruit drinks. You can save hundreds of calories throughout your day by sipping on a non-calorie drink such as sparkling water instead of a soft drink.
Choose sandwiches, wraps and salads with dressing on the side when ordering lunch. Select those varieties with lots of fresh vegetables and whole grain breads. Ask if sides such as fruit salad or pasta salad are available instead of chips.
Limit your number of high-calorie alcoholic beverages if you meet for cocktails after the work day. Watch out of drinks with high-sugar additions such as margaritas and cocktails with fruit juices or soft drinks. Choose drinks with club soda or on the rocks, or choose a glass of wine.
Pay attention to any mindless eating of snacks throughout the day such as pretzels and chips set out at meetings, candy from the jar on someone’s desk, or nuts at the bar during cocktail hour. Carry fruit or a nutrition bar to curb your appetite.
Select simply prepared appetizers and entrees for dinner that provide lean protein and fresh produce. Choose a simple Caprese salad as an appetizer. Consider salmon, lean beef, chicken or vegetarian options without heavy cream sauces as an entree. Try a baked potato or sautéed vegetables as your side. A wood-fired pizza with vegetables is another healthy option. Split large entrees with coworkers or request a half order.
Allow yourself a splurge every now and then to satisfy cravings. Take along dark chocolate and enjoy a small piece before turning in for the night, or start your day with a small size of your favorite specialty coffee.
Don’t isolate yourself from socializing with coworkers because you fear there won’t be healthy options. There is usually something on every menu that you can make into a healthy meal. Ask for sauces on the side, request meats to be grilled or broiled instead of fried, eat a small appetizer as your meal, or sip on club soda and lemon if you choose not to drink alcohol.

We Can Bring You Peace of Mind.
After you have suffered a serious injury, it can be very difficult to trust anyone.

Rediff.com » News » Prema Sai Baba will be born in Doddamallur!
Prema Sai Baba will be born in Doddamallur!
With the funeral of the Sathya Sai Baba over, the focus has now shifted out of Puttaparthi to a small village named Doddamallur, which lies between Channapatna and Maddur around 90 kilometres away from Bengaluru.
Doddamallur will play a significant part in the days to come, as this has been the village that has been identified by Sathya Sai Baba to be the place where his next incarnation Prema Sai Baba will be born.
With the reincarnation stories doing the rounds, a great deal of interest has already been generated in this small village. The sleepy hamlet has had just one great story to tell in all these years -- that Lord Rama had prayed at the Shri Ambegalu Shri Krishna temple before he set out to Lanka to battle Ravana.
There was a great deal of confusion regarding this place as far as stories of Prema Sai Baba were concerned.
Earlier, it was being said that he would be born in a village called Gunaparthi near Mandya, but now it is official that the reincarnation would happen at Doddamallur.
The villagers are in a frenzy. They are aware that if this happens then their village will become hugely important and what is more they all believe that Sathya Sai Baba's reincarnation will be born in their village.
Prema Sai Baba, according to the discourses given by Sathya Sai Baba, would be the third and the last incarnation of Sai Baba, the first being Shiridi Sai Baba.
This has also been documented in a book written by a lady by the name Kannamma who herself is a great devotee of Sathya Sai Baba.
Now, only till will tell if Prema Sai will be born or is this just a myth?
The search for Prema Sai's parents first began five years ago. A team had been dispatched from Puttaparthi to find out if a lady by the name Kasthuri existed in this village. According to Baba, this lady would be the mother of Prema Sai.
However, at that time they were sent back by the villagers stating that there was no such thing happening.
The people from Puttaparthi have been showing a great deal of interest in Doddamallur.
What is more ironical is that two months back, Baba himself had dispatched a team of around 700 members to Doddamallur. The villagers were a bit taken aback to see such a large contingent.
The group headed straight to the temple at Doddamallur and offered 'Laksharchana' and 'Kumkumarchana' pujas, which were conducted for nearly 10 hours. Temple trust Chairman Venu confirmed this.
Venu goes on to add that this was the moment that they are all waiting for. They have no reason to believe that this will not happen and the whole village thinks that the prophecy by Baba will come true.
But when Venu was reminded that as per the prophecy Prema Sai would be born in 2024, he said that there is no clarity on that.
What we were given to understand is that there is no date specified for the birth of Prema Sai and so it could happen anytime in the near future, he said, ading, the age factor which is being debated was also clarified to us.
We expect the people from Puttaparthi to come down and identify Prema Sai for us. Although we are on the look out for the possible parents of Prema Sai, we would still wait for the people from Puttaparthi to do the needful. All they have told us is to inform them if they find something strange or a miracle, which is bound to happen around the Shri Ambegala Krishna temple, Venu said.

It was a dreary day on Saturday, April 23, in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood. Scattered showers were in the forecast, a day that most people would spend indoors. However, rainy weather wasn’t about to stop a group of about 200 eager Comcast employees from both the Fife and Tacoma offices and their families from volunteering their time and energy to help support the Hilltop Urban Gardens (affectionately referred to as HUG) at their 16th annual Comcast Cares Day event.
Comcast Cares Day is a yearly volunteer effort where employees get to choose a non-profit organization in their community and spend an entire day to make it better.
In addition, volunteers helped revitalize about 20 homes in the neighborhood for low-income and elderly residents. This meant beautifying yards and alleys, disposing of trash and debris, building garden boxes, mowing lawns, weeding, and planting various vegetables and flowers. Comcast even partnered up with 1-800-Got-Junk to help with the garbage removal.
Jackson hopes the volunteer effort will help both revitalize the Hilltop neighborhood and keep the historic population from having to relocate. “This project is about growing food and about community control of the food supply,” she says. “One of the things that has been very clear as we’ve been doing this project is watching how the neighborhood is changing and how the historic population in many instances is no longer able to live here.” Jackson hopes that with community collaboration, along with projects like HUG, residents of the Hilltop community will be able to stay put.
For those who wish to volunteer at HUG, community work hours are every Saturday between 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For more detailed and up to date information, Jackson recommends checking the website and Facebook page.

Malik makes the case that most anti-racists accept the belief, also held by racialists and outright racists, that differences between groups are of great importance. While racialists attribute the differences to biology, anti-racists attribute them to deep-rooted cultural traditions which are typically seen as inherent in the group. Malik argues that these positions are actually quite similar, and makes the case that racism and racial inequality are best combatted by focusing not on our differences but on what unites us. Malik also strongly criticizes the cultural relativism of many anti-racists, and their increasing tendency to reject science as some kind of western imperialist conspiracy to oppress the rest of the world.

The app functions quite nicely and has a clean look in the interface. I have been using it all morning and so far it has worked perfectly. The app is currently free and worth a try if the stock app is not working for you. In my case, I had no issues with the stock app but I like this one better. Additionally, there is a security bypass that allows you to sidestep security requirements that are sometimes imposed by Exchange.
Will this app integrate with the stock calendar app?
Cool app, very impressed so far.
What about PIN lock? My exchange forces a PIN lock, I have been using Touchdown which forces a PIN lock to access the app, not the entire phone. How does this app handle PIN lock? Thank you.
I just installed this app and I cannot connect to my Exchange account. It's looking for a client certificate. Any suggestions?

The victims are camping at Amuma Primary School after their homes were either swept away or brought down by the torrential rains that pounded the area for three consecutive days. Speaking in Garissa town, Jarajila Ward Representative Mahat Osman said the affected families are now taking refuge at the primary school, which was not affected by the floods since it is located at a higher ground. “Nobody was killed in the raging rain waters which almost submerged the entire village but more than 1,000 families were rendered homeless for the last three days”, he said. The MCA said the entire village, which is about 8km from Somalia border, were completely flattened and turned into a pool of water.
He said a humanitarian crisis is looming with children, women and elderly people showing signs of bad health and fatigue from sleeping in the open at the school’s open grounds since the classrooms couldn’t accommodate the big numbers. “The displaced lack basic necessities such as bedding, shelter, foodstuffs and medicine. Children particularly under five were affected by the cold and they are coughing a lot,” he said.
At least 54 people have been killed in clashes between communities on the Turkana- East Pokot border according to Kenya Red Cross. The clashes at Nadome village have also left about 350 families displaced and are currently camping at Nabokut and Nasoret areas. “After a long trek to the scene, our team on the ground has reported 54 people dead. Five critical cases (have been) evacuated to hospital,” said the organisation on its Twitter handle on Wednesday adding that at least 400 goats were stolen in the raid.
The organisation added its rescue team was also preparing to depart Loyangalani with a young patient who needs specialised treatment in Nairobi. The Kenya Red Cross update on the clashes between Turkana and Pokot pastoralists contradicts information given earlier by Mr Peter Pamba, the officer leading Administration Police in the operation who said the police had found no bodies and therefore no killings had occurred.
“We were at the scene but did not see anything,” he had told Nation.co.ke on Tuesday evening after reports claimed that 46 people had been killed in a bandit raid. “We will continue with the operation tomorrow (Wednesday),” said Mr Pamba. Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Osman Warfa had said 46 people were killed in the attack.
