State capital bill hearing in Elgin: Fox Valley leaders list their wishes, ideas for funding
The wish list for what might be the state's first capital bill in 10 years is long, and the key question of funding kept coming up at a three-hour hearing held by state legislators Monday in Elgin.
Elgin's primary concern is the upgrading of Route 20 from Randall Road to Route 47, Mayor David Kaptain said. "This is a country road that is now handling traffic literally from tens of thousands of people," he said.
The state should restore the 5% share of income taxes to local municipalities that it stopped, which in turn could funnel the money into local infrastructure projects, Kaptain said.
"That is an excellent idea," said state Sen. David Koehler, a Democrat from Peoria. The hearing at Gail Borden Public Library was held by a subcommittee of the Senate's transportation and appropriations II committees.
The Metropolitan Planning Council described the state's transportation infrastructure as "failing" and calculated that $43 billion must be raised over 10 years to get it back to "good repair." The state's last capital bill was in 2009, and some lawmakers are pushing to fund one this year.
State Sen. Martin Sandoval, a Chicago Democrat who chairs the state transportation committee, proposed doubling the gasoline tax to 38 cents from 19 per gallon, which along with increases to driver's license and vehicle fees would yield an estimated $2 billion per year.
Sandoval also said he endorses requiring diversity among contractors for projects in the capital bill.
Sean Michels, board president of the Metro West Council of Governments, said there should be a variety of funding sources, such as increases to gas, alcohol and cigarette taxes; a portion of the recreational marijuana tax, if approved; and a tax on large warehouse distribution centers whose vehicles can damage roads the most, he said.
Elgin Community College President David Sam said the institution needs $15 million in new facilities for three new programs -- mechatronics, cybersecurity and pipe welding -- and a $2.5 million build-out for two other new programs, one for opticians and ophthalmic laboratory technicians, and one for dietetic technicians. "For every dollar spent on community colleges, the rate of return is unsurpassed," he said.
Lore Baker, president and CEO of the Association of Individual Development in Aurora, said the Keeler Center is "completely outdated and inadequate" for the needs of its 89 adult clients. Staff members, for example, put paper over fluorescent lighting fixtures because they might cause seizures, she said. It would cost $50,000 to $100,000 per person to rehab a nearby building, she said.
Baker suggested various funding methods for the capital bill: increasing real estate recording fees, a graduated increase to real estate transfer taxes, and a tax on private property rentals like Airbnb.
Improving Route 47, an estimated $310 million project from Woodstock to Huntley in various phases of engineering, is "the main topic" for McHenry County, the only collar county with no direct access to an interstate, said John Schmitt, Algonquin's village president who serves on the McHenry County Council of Governments' executive committee. "We're reliant on state local township and county roads to move all our of people and all of our commerce," he said.
Carl Schoedel, director of transportation for Kane County, said the county's No. 1 funding request is $45 million to pay for the nearly $30 million Longmeadow Parkway toll bridge and set aside money for maintenance. That would eliminate the need for a toll, "providing some relief to our taxpaying constituents," and the need to build and operate the toll system, which is "rather expensive," he said.
The county also hopes for $4 million from the state for a new $10 million multipurpose building for the coroner's office and sheriff's equipment, Schoedel said. The project is "shovel ready" with site work anticipated later this year, he said.
When it's time to select projects, "I can tell you that the ones that already have a head start are obviously going to rise to the top," said Republican state Sen. Don DeWitte of St. Charles.
Northern Illinois University has "thoughtfully prioritized" a list of 11 projects and hopes for a state investment of about $326 million, NIU President Lisa Freeman said. The highest priority is a new health informatics building.
Bipartisanship will be necessary as the state legislature grapples with proposals including the "fair tax," or graduated income tax proposed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a plastic bag tax, a recreational marijuana tax, and a gambling tax "before we get to a capital bill," Sandoval said.
Similar hearings have been held in Edwardsville, Decatur and Peoria, and more are coming up in Chicago, Grayslake and Springfield.

BROOKINGS HARBOR, Ore. — Monday marks the second anniversary of a large earthquake that hit Japan. The earthquake caused a devastating tsunami across the Pacific to the shores of Oregon and Northern California.
The series of waves caused heavy damage to the boat harbors at Crescent City and Brookings-Harbor. Over the last year, millions of dollars have been spent to dredge the Brookings boat basin and to replace docks and pilings in both harbors. Managers of both harbors say it’s an investment that’s paying off.
“The dredging we did allows us to stay open and now we’re–our commercial basin is fully stocked and crab season is still roaring along,” said Brookings Harbormaster Ted Fitzgerald.
“It’s working. I mean, there’s a lot of work, and there’s still work to be done, and there’s as many more pilings to be put in yet,” said Crescent City Harbor Commissioner Pat Bailey.
Dredging of the Brookings boat basin was funded by more than $6 million in state and federal grants. Grants and FEMA funding are also paying for much of the restoration of the Crescent boat harbor in an effort to make it as tsunami-resistant as possible.

The constitutionality of laws that allow states to grant statewide franchises is being challenged in a case in which the city of Detroit is suing Comcast’s local subsidiary.
Detroit is suing Comcast, arguing that the 2006 Michigan law creating one statewide franchise for cable TV providers that applies to all local jurisdictions (passed largely to encourage AT&T and Verizon to provide video services in-state) violates the constitutions of both the United States and the state of Michigan, according to the Great Lakes Innovation and Technology Report.
The city claims that the Federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 still controls its contractual relationships with Comcast, because under Article VI, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, “federal law is the supreme law of the United States and preempts all contrary state law,” GLITR reported.
The local Comcast franchise is operating in accordance with the new 2006 law. The city reinstated its 1985 franchise.

- The event was honoring David Gahan and Kevin Lyman for for their services to charity. The press release for the event says: "The seventh annual MusiCares MAP FundSM benefit concert will honor Depeche Mode lead singer Dave Gahan and Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Friday, May 6, 2011. Gahan will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares® MAP Fund, and for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process. Lyman will be the recipient of MusiCares' From the Heart Award for his unconditional friendship and dedication to the mission and goals of the organization".
- Chester was introduced by comedian Greg Behrendt and came out with an acoustic guitar to perform one song - 'The Messenger'. During his short speech before the song, Chester explained that he originally wrote this song as a letter to his kids that are growing up and will soon face their own lives and how he usually doesn't perform with an instrument, jokingly stating that he is kind of "a virgin tonight playing for the first time".
- Unlike the studio version of the song that was recorded in a key of G, this version was played in C.

Dispersal is the primary ecological process underpinning spatial dynamics in motile species by generating flux in reproductive locations over time. In migratory species, dispersal can also occur around non-breeding ranges, but this form currently lacks a unifying theoretical framework. We present a novel conceptual model for dispersal in migrants that builds upon existing literature, differentiating ‘reproductive' dispersal (i.e. changes in breeding locations) from ‘non-reproductive' dispersal, which we define as movements resulting in inter-annual or inter-generational changes in non-breeding locations. Crucially, unlike reproductive dispersal where movement outcomes are naturally propagated between generations, the outcomes of non-reproductive dispersal can be non-heritable. We use simulations of a solo-migrant population with a genetically encoded migratory programme to illustrate how variation in this heritability exerts a strong influence on both migratory connectivity and range shift propensity. When exposed to spatially uncoupled shifts in habitable ranges (i.e. seasonal climate niches shifting at different rates), long-term persistence of simulated populations required changes in migratory programmes to arise through heritable forms of non-reproductive dispersal (e.g. mutations in migratory gene complexes). By contrast, non-heritable dispersal mechanisms (e.g. navigation errors) cannot drive long-term shifts in non-breeding ranges, despite being a major component of realised dispersal and migratory connectivity patterns. Migratory connectivity metrics conflate these heritable and non-heritable drivers of non-reproductive dispersal, and therefore have limited power in predicting population responses to environmental change. Our models provide a framework for improving our understanding of spatial dynamics in migratory populations, and highlight the importance of teasing apart the mechanisms that drive migratory variability in order to evaluate and predict range plasticity in migrants.

Despite their importance, coin-operated copying machines have rarely been discussed in library literature. Yet, the librarian who carefully evaluates available equipment and pricing plans and implements sound procedures for machine maintenance and cash accountability can expect to realize significant benefits from this essential reprographic service. In evaluating equipment, librarians should consider the ability of machines to reproduce representative library materials, ease of operation by the uninstructed patron, speed, durability, size, mobility, and the integrity of the coin-mechanism. Attention should be given to supply requirements, especially convenience and economy of use. Alternative pricing plans should be carefully examined. The librarian should consider purchase, rental, and lease arrangements. Once equipment is selected and pricing is agreed upon, the librarian should arrange for maintenance contracts to keep equipment operational. To guard against lost revenue, strict cash control procedures are required. During all stages of program organization, time spent in a thorough analysis will be repaid in successful operation.
The reasons for, including the date of publication in a catalog entry are discussed, in the light of rule 139 of the revised chapter 6 of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, North American Text. Rule 139 is compared with the former rule 141 in the 1967 edition. Parts of rule 139 are then analyzed for meaning and ease of application, using a decision flowchart to interpret and clarify the logic of the revised rule for dates.
The effect of catalog division on catalog departments in terms of cost, physical expansion of the catalog, as well as methods and different kinds of division are considered. The decision to divide or retain a dictionary catalog should be based on present circumstances and use of the catalog itself. This discussion of divided and dictionary catalogs suggests that catalog congestion and complexity and size of a library and its collection are not sufficient reasons for dividing a dictionary catalog. Users will have difficulty with either format. Of more value to the library user than division of the catalog is formal instruction in bibliographic tools.
The University of Oregon Library accompanied the division and expansion of its 2.8-million-card dictionary catalog with implementation of improved card production and catalog maintenance procedures. Highlighting replaced overtyping of secondary cards and retyping of call numbers on printed cards was ceased. New subject heading work was assigned to one paraprofessional, relieving catalogers and library assistants of routine subject heading checking. The typing, proof-reading, filing, and revision time gained by these innovations increased departmental productivity by 12 percent by the end of the fiscal year.
A reasonable evaluation of a cataloger's efficiency requires accounting for expenditures of time in activities other than cataloging. A study conducted at Wichita State University reveals that slightly less than two-thirds of the work day of the catalogers was spent in actual cataloging. Accounting for all expenditures of time in whatever kind of activity affords also a sensible basis for a reorganization of departmental work flow and for adjustments of work relationships among personnel assignments in order to allow catalogers more time for cataloging,

Most of the names of the state-level governments of Nigeria are generic rather than specific in nature and have been entered in inverted form under the name of the country in major Nigerian libraries. It is suggested that all such names should be entered in direct (natural word-order) form whether used as authors or as subjects. It is further suggested that for Nigeria, indirect subdivision of subject headings should be through the name of the state instead of through the name of the country (Nigeria) as in normal Library of Congress practice.

Spring is HERE and it’s time to start making your yard beautiful! If you are a novice, or just need a quick reminder we thought perhaps we could offer some information on the difference between Annuals and Perennials plantings.
Annuals: Plants that flower and die in one season are annuals although some drop seeds that grow new plants in the spring. Annuals typically bloom all season until frost, so you get consistent color and showy blooms. These plants can go in the ground any time, even in midsummer, to refresh your beds.
Perennials: Perennials, come back for many seasons. While the top portion of a perennial dies back in winter, new growth appears the following spring from the same root system. Most perennials have less flashy flowers and bloom for a shorter period, usually two to six weeks. Perennials do best when planted in fall or spring, no later than six weeks before the ground freezes (about mid-November for most of the country).
Mix it up. A variety of plant types not only adds long-lasting beauty and bloom times, but also provides habitat for many different pollinators and other garden visitors.
Give them some help getting established. Water all plants deeply after planting, especially during dry spells. Mulch to preserve moisture and keep down weeds, which compete for water and nutrients. Feed with a slow-release general purpose fertilizer. Follow the label, and do not go overboard. Too much fertilizer can cause weak growth that is susceptible to pests and diseases.
Pick the right spot. Read the plant label before deciding where you are putting your new plants. In general, full sun is considered six to eight hours per day. Part shade means roughly three to six hours of sun. Full shade is about three to four hours a day. Do not try to cheat. While some plants tolerate less-than-ideal conditions, it does not make sense to set your plants up for failure.
Be patient. Most perennials are not going to “wow” you the first season. “Crawl, walk, run” often is the phrase you will hear about perennials. They seem to poke along the first year and then grow a little more convincingly the second, finally taking off in the third growing season.
Some perennials need to be divided every three to five years. If they get too big for the space, have a lackluster bloom, or stop flowering in the center of the clump, dig a chunk off the edge and replant elsewhere in your garden. Try to do it in early spring, but do not panic if you must divide them later in the season. Most perennials are tougher than you think.

The Bermuda Tourism Authority welcomed the first significant loosening of COVID-19 border protocols since the island reopened in July 2020.
The Bermuda Government announced that they would be changing the pre-arrival test requirement to accept antigen tests effective November 29, 2021.
The rapid test result turn-around time, accuracy, and widespread availability of antigen tests will make the pre-arrival process significantly less burdensome for prospective travellers.
The Minister of Health Kim Wilson indicated that Ministry officials were also reviewing protocols for on-island traveller follow up testing.
Charles H. Jeffers II said, “The shift in protocols is encouraging news for the local industry, and the introduction of the antigen testing reflects a change that we have advocated for on behalf of our stakeholders. With increased vaccination uptake in key markets, vacation-starved travellers have been shopping for their next destination.
This move by the government puts us in a stronger market position as we compete with rival destinations touting less stringent travel requirements. To ensure that we remain a viable and attractive destination for our cruise and airline partners, we must demonstrate that our health and safety protocols meet consumer demand for a safe, streamlined travel experience from beginning to end.“
Vaccinated visitors to Bermuda represent less than one percent of those testing positive whilst on island (on arrival or post-arrival). These numbers show that vaccinated travellers pose a shallow risk to the island’s COVID situation. Today’s policy changes reflect the reduced likelihood of transmission from that category and provide a safe, convenient accessible option for visitors.

The recent fiasco with unknown objects being detected in North American airspace has driven up stock prices for defense companies.
Over the weekend, the US military was very active, shooting down three unknown objects being detected in North American and Canadian airspace. The first object appeared near Alaska and was detected by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) radars and resulted in, in all instances, a US fighter jet being dispatched and instructed to bring down the object.
The unknown objects were operating between 20,000 and 40,000 feet and were deemed a threat to civilian air traffic. There was also the element of potential intelligence operations being conducted by an unknown foreign party following the destruction of a Chinese spy balloon a week prior. If you include the removal of the Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina the previous weekend, the US military has brought down four objects in US airspace within the last two weeks.
Notably, the unknown objects that were all detected and brought down this past weekend weren't balloons. This point was specifically made clear by US officials that said they are intentionally calling these anomalies "objects" and "not balloons, for a reason." There are also mixed reports from fighter pilots that flew next to the objects, which contributes to the confusion surrounding discerning a detailed description that can then be released to the public. However, exact descriptions should be acquired relatively soon as military personnel is in the process of collecting the wreckage from all three of the destroyed objects.
This seemingly ever-growing tension of unknown objects appearing in US skies and a strained relationship between the US and China, which both made conflicting comments regarding the purpose of the downed balloon, is causing stock prices to increase for defense companies responsible for supplying the necessary equipment to protect American skies.
Lockheed Martin, the company behind the F-16, F-22, and F-35 fighter jets, has seen its stock price increase by 5% since February 3. Boeing is following close behind with an increase of 3.67% over the same time period. Air-defense and missile systems maker Raytheon watched its stock price increase by 4.67%, with Northrop Grumman stock increasing by 3.94%.
The tension between China and the US is continuing, which is no doubt contributing to rising defense company stock prices. China claimed on Monday that in just 2022, the US has sent as many as 10 of its own intelligence-gathering balloons across its territory. These allegations were promptly denied by US officials. Separately, China has reported seeing a UFO and is preparing to take it down.

EuropeanaTech conference, Lexicographical data, plus all your usual news
Special report: Wikidata at the EuropeanaTech conference
Jason Evans talks about Wikidata and the National Library of Wales at EuropeanaTech 2018
Keynote speech about Wikimedia projects by Ben Vershbow at EuropeanaTech 2018
On 14-16 May, Europeana held its EuropeanaTech conference, in Rotterdam. This brought together almost 300 European and worldwide GLAM professionals working on technical aspects of cultural heritage, aggregation and Linked Open Data (LOD). Besides many participants from (mostly larger) European cultural institutions and umbrella organizations, there were also representatives from Brazil, India (National Digital Library of India) and the US (Digital Public Library of America).
Wikimedia projects - and especially Wikidata - were prominent topics during the conference. Ben Vershbow and Sandra Fauconnier (Wikimedia Foundation), Jens Ohlig (Wikimedia Deutschland), Liam Wyatt (Europeana) and Jason Evans (National Library of Wales) actively attended EuropeanaTech. One day before the conference, Europeana hosted a well-attended Wikidata workshop day at its own office, which was fully booked with 50 registered participants from European libraries, archives and museums. During the main conference, Ben held a keynote speech (video on YouTube), Jason Evans talked about NLW's work with Wikidata (slideshow on Slideshare), and Sandra presented Structured Data on Commons (slides on Commons). Apart from those presentations there was also a panel about Wikidata as authority data, moderated by Liam, and a panel that included Wikidata's multilingual aspects. Additionally, Wikidata was also mentioned a lot throughout other people's presentations; quite a few attendees already use Wikidata actively in their own projects. In conversations during breaks and meals, we also heard a lot of interest.
Some of the main themes throughout the conference were:
- Linked Open Data (LOD) in the cultural sector: how it's maturing, finally being concretely applied in the sector, and how LOD can become more usable altogether;
- Decentralization, reflecting the desire from cultural institutions to maintain and take responsibility for their own data repositories and to interconnect these through LOD in an ecosystem that does not solely rely on centralized hubs.
- Lexicographical data is now available on Wikidata!

I LOVE shishito peppers. They’re so delicious when simply browned in a pan with some sea salt. I wanted to do something a little more special with them though, so this time I made a crostini with some fresh ricotta cheese and spiced honey. I ate so many of them I could hardly eat my main meal afterward!
1 pound shishito peppers
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
Fresh ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons honey
Pinch of cayanne pepper
Pinch of paprika
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle the baguette slices with a little olive oil and cook in oven until slightly toasted.
In the meantime, add the shishito peppers to a pan with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook them for about 7-10 minutes or until they are browned a bit. Next, in a small bowl mix together the honey, cayenne, and paprika.
To assemble, spread a good amount of ricotta cheese onto the bread, top with shishito peppers, and drizzle with the spiced honey!
Pretty much anything you put on puff pastry is going to be great- it’s buttery, flaky, and delicious! So when I got some potatoes and mushrooms in my bag I thought I would experiment a little. This tart took about 30 minutes from beginning to end and was delicious. I think next time I will add more mushrooms and use some colorful purple potatoes as well. I actually thought I had purple potatoes because the skin had a purple tint, but they were white when I cut them open so not sure what type they were! Either way they were good. Next time I make this I think I will also roast the sliced potatoes in the oven first so they get a little browned before adding them to the tart. Th potatoes will look prettier that way. In the end I topped it with some fresh miner’s lettuce to add some nice color, but you could use other greens such as arugula.
1 box puff pastry, thawed
1 large potato, thinly sliced
1/2 large shallot, chopped
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and cut into chunks
5 ounces truffled goat cheese (I used half)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Truffle oil, for drizzle (optional)
Handful of pretty greens- such as miner’s lettuce or arugula- for topping
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the thawed dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment. I sprinkled a little flour to help the dough from sticking. With a knife, make a 1/2 inch border around the tart, without going through to the other side. Poke some holes in the center of the tart with a fork to let the heat escape while cooking. Brush with the egg and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden. You will see that it puffs up a lot when it cooks, but don’t worry! When you remove it from the oven, poke a few additional holes with a sharp knife then while wearing oven mitts, gently press down on the dough to release the air- it will flatten.
In a pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes until fork tender. Careful not overcook them! Alternatively, you could also drizzle with olive oil and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until they start to brown- which is what I will try next time. Remove and set aside. Add some olive oil to a pan and cook the shallots for about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue for another 5 minutes until softened and cooked through. When the dough is ready, top with the potatoes, followed by the mushroom and shallot mixture. Break up the cheese and add as much as you like. Place in oven for 10 minutes. Once removed, drizzle with some truffle oil, fresh ground pepper, and a small handful of greens. Serve warm. Enjoy!
I’ve always wanted to try making zucchini fritters and for some reason thought it would be a little more difficult than it was. I had a huge zucchini from my veggies this week and decided to give it a try- it couldn’t have been easier! I also had some leftover basil from last week and decided to incorporate that into my sour cream with some lemon, which was really delicious.
Ingredients: (adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
2 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon course salt
Fresh ground pepper
1/4 red onion, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, add to a bowl with the 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and let sit for 15 minutes. Next, add the zucchini to a colander and squeeze out all the liquid with the back of a big wooden spoon. Really make sure to take the time to get it all out! Place the zucchini back in a large bowl and add the onion, egg, and pepper. Mix together. In another small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder then add it to the zucchini mixture.
Heat your skillet over medium high heat (I used my cast iron pan) and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Scoop a few spoon fulls of the zucchini separately in the pan (I found doing 3-4 at a time worked best) then get sit for about 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side for another 4 minutes until that side is golden as well. Transfer to a plate with a paper towel to absorb some of the oil. Finally, place all the fritters on a baking sheet and throw in the oven for about 10 minutes to make sure they are crispy and delicious.
In the meantime, chop the basil and zest the lemon. Add this plus the lemon juice to the sour cream and mix well. Once the fritters are done, top with the sour cream and enjoy!

One of the girls on my bowling league is pregnant, and I thought I'd stitch her a little something for her pending arrival. Naturally, the Bowling Betties patterns sprung immediately to mind:
This one was all done in stem stitch, with a little satin stitch for variety. Of course, we bowl five-pin, so our balls are smaller (tee-hee!) and don't have the finger holes, but the overall effect is there, I think. The configuration of the pins amused me, too, because if you manage to hit the head pin and the ones on either side of it, you've just scored Aces, which is roughly the equivalent of a seven-ten split in ten-pin (I think), and terribly difficult to spare.
I didn't know whether she was having a boy or a girl (and she doesn't either - but we'll be finding out by the end of the month!), so when I decided on the kitten motif, I made it as gender-neutral as possible. The fur is stem stitch, but the bow and features, and the "Baby", are all done in backstitch. I got lazy, haha.
I gave them to her this Wednesday, and she absolutely loved them, as did her teammates. They couldn't believe I had done it all by hand! I don't think you can find bowling-themed baby goods in many places, so she's got a one-of-a-kind item!
Thanks for looking!

It’s my hubby’s birthday today. We just celebrated it simply at home. He got a lot of phone calls today greeting him a happy birthday. I wanted to cook pancit, lumpia and all those good stuff but since hubby is on a diet, I decided not to. He just cooked beef roast and I cooked beans and prepared veggie salad. I also cooked burger patties and scambled eggs for him this morning. He’s on a low carb diet so no starchy foods for him and no sweets too. He’ll do that for 35 days. He did it last year and he lost a lot of weight. After the diet he gained it back again gradually that’s why he need to go on a diet again. He gave up his coffee and tea while on his diet, also his bread and crackers. He eats more veggie salad, lean meat and beans. I want him to have a healthier body and also more birthdays to come. I love him dearly and I thank God for giving him to me.

Great catering service for our daughter's party. I catered from Dickey's for my daughter's 3rd birthday party and has happily surprised. I'm not a huge fan of BBQ, but since I moved to Kansas City, I wanted to cater something that people would like. The folks from Dickey's were extremely accommodating of our needs, told us how much food was sufficient so we wouldn't spend more than needed, showed up exactly at the time we requested, set everything up really nicely and were very professional. The food was good and we had absolutely nothing to complain about it. Definitely a place my family will keep in mind for future gatherings... even though BBQ is not our preferred food. The crew at the Overland Park (KS) facility won our hearts with their service and helped make our daughter's birthday party fun.
Let's Be Honest. Dickey's is to barbeque what Chipotle is to Mexican food - food chain generic. Nonetheless, just as Chipotle has a following so does Dickey's. While the meat lacks significant smoke flavor, the sauce (I like spicy) is competent and portions are reasonably generous. Be sure to add fried okra! Family members are also impressed with the pickelus giganticus and the complimentary soft-serve ice-cream. When I go, I always see a tub of ValPak coupons, but they apparently only distribute them in the zip code where the restaurant is located. :(

Yeehaw wand is a device that allows you to create your own virtual 3D design. Via the mobile app, you can build/draw/create any objects out of thin air by virtually superposing your drawing onto the real object. By sketching the outline intuitively, this method is much easier and faster to express your creativity than most other 2D/3D pen methods. Then, your 3D creative can be printed out with Yeehaw 3D printer or any other 3D printers of your choice. This AR draw-and-print system offers you and your kids a new way to interact with the imagination.
The sky’s the limit!
Review and Discussion – Is Yeehaw worth a buy?
Yeehaw 3D Wand
Unlike 3D pen, Yeehaw wand works with an AR app to create designs on your phone and later print out from a 3D printer. It is lightweight and easy to use. Comes with a 360° spin plate, you can unleash your creativity by virtually drawing on top of the plate. However, the in-app features are not many for editing, while you can still do some common adjustment on your touchscreen devices such as resize, move, rotate, mirror and coloring. But it may not be suitable for a high detail drawing, even if you happen to have an expensive high-end 3D printer. Therefore it is more suitable for kids as an educational toy rather than a more serious artwork for adults.
Print out your creatives
One great feature of Yeehaw wand is that it can be used on your smartphone or tablet to gives you a great portability anywhere you go. It requires no coding or complicated knowledge prior to creating your own concepts, nor any computer knowledge for 3D printing. When you have done with your creative, you will have 3 way of print it out. First, send the design to the Yeehaw for a price and they will get back to you. This is somewhat inconvenient as you need to pay for each design ($0.5 per gram + shipping fee) and have to wait for days or weeks until it’s delivered to your doorstep.
More often, we will have more than one design to print. Therefore, we do not recommend this method as it’s more costly and inconvenient method. Afterall, you will only have to get yourself a wand (and a plate) to get started.
The second method is to use your own existing 3D printer or go to any local 3D print centers. Simply save the file in the printable format, you are good to go.
And the third method is to get yourself a Yeehaw 3D printer. Using the same brand printer meaning you will never have to worry about the compatibility. The wand is designed for the printer and the printer is designed for the wand, so this method is a more viable option to avoid any technical difficulty, i.e. some part can’t be read/printed correctly by other printers.
Since Yeehaw has included the printer in one of the Kickstarter sale packages, we will be talking a little bit about this in the next section.
Yeehaw 3D Printer
Yeehaw had previously run a successful campaign on Indiegogo with 283% funded.
Generally, the customer’s response to Yeehaw 3D printer on Indiegogo campaign was great, but not surprisingly great. The printers do has its own limitation and is slightly large than expected. For your information, there are some really excellent mini size printers out there in the market, like this one on Amazon. Still, considering the price and functionality it brings, It is certainly a no-brainer. The printer was on Indiegogo for $349, and the whole printer package now on Kickstarter will only cost you $399, including the Yeehaw wand. Meanwhile, Yeehaw wand starts at an early bird price $99, it means you will get the wand at a super exclusive price for lesser than $50. If you are thinking about getting the wand now, why not might as well getting a printer altogether to save your effort buying expensive one later. This hot sale is time-limited, grab one while you still can.
Price and Warranty
Each Yeehaw wand (and plate) starts at only $99 under the super early bird sale. For the printer + wand package, it is only $399.

On June 21, 1547, a horrific fire engulfed Moscow, almost destroying the Kremlin and the capital built almost entirely of wood. The estimated death toll was over 3,700 lives. Thousands of people were left homeless.
Russian author and historian, Nikolay Karamzin, described the blaze:
“The fire flowed like a river, and soon the Kremlin, Kitai Gorod and the Trading Quarter burst into flames… The crackling of fire and the cries of people, from time to time, were drowned out by explosions of gunpowder, which was stored in the Kremlin and other parts of the city.”
The fire began several months after Ivan IV (“Ivan the Terrible”) was officially crowned as first Tsar of Russia. The fearful scenes of a burned down city deeply affected Ivan who at the time was only 16 years old.
The young Tzar realized that he could no longer leave the power in the hands of the nobles and had to take full responsibility for ruling his country. Thus, Ivan turned all his attention to restoring the city and ensuring fire safety in Moscow.
However, rebuilding the city was not the only challenge Tsar Ivan IV was faced with that year. Rumors of witchcraft, riots, and a new era of governance were all consequences of the fire that terrified Moscow on this day…

A project that will likely be the largest affordable complex in SE Portland is slated to replace an aging strip club at 30th and Powell.
Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) may have scored a win-win in its plans to purchase the Safari show club property across from Cleveland High School in order to provide rentals for those below 60% of median family incomes and possibly, temporary shelter for families without housing.
The site of the long-standing strip club in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood is big enough to provide a mix of housing types that may include homes for purchase.
At 40,000 square feet, the lot is bigger than a typical City block and is zoned for up to 300 housing units. PHB Chief Kurt Creager said the number may be reduced to something closer to 200 in order to include affordable single family homes along with apartments.
Creager expressed optimism that neighbors won’t complain about the removal of the strip club and its replacement with a complex in which the community can take pride.
“The site offers the highest and best use as mixed use urban development,” he said in a recent interview. He added that the project, being built through a 20-year bond, has to last a long time.
“It’s not unreasonable for residents to expect a project to add value to their neighborhood with open spaces and amenities.”
Facing Powell, the project could rise five stories. Closer to residential areas, scale may be reduced for neighborhood compatibility.
Community engagement officer Michelle DePass indicated notifications to the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood and SE Uplift are beginning. She plans to notify all segments of the population from homeowners to the homeless. “I have not heard one negative comment so far,” she said.
Bureau staff understand it is not easy to satisfy unmet housing needs. In its efforts to provide housing for all, some City goals of providing affordability have misfired. Private developers are driven by profit and sometimes find work-arounds to rules like Inclusionary Housing.
Currently, the City boasts a glut of expensive apartments beyond the reach of many Portlanders. With average rents at $1970 across all apartment types, including studios, Creager admitted that new builds, for the most part, have been what he called “the wrong kind of apartment, not serving the mainstream.”
To adjust the imbalance, PHB delivers programs to “increase the supply of affordable housing, preventing and ending homelessness, and promoting stable home ownership.” A draft plan is currently in the works for $258 million bond package passed in 2016.
Responding to criticism that the cost of subsidized housing is unnecessarily high, Creager said his department is bound by prevailing wage agreements and a state bidding process that can push costs beyond public expectations – up to $108 K per unit.
The high cost of subsidized housing can impact the design and quality of materials which must be weighed against the demands of affordability. He challenged development partners to step forward with innovative ideas for the Powell Blvd. project.
Adjustments could be made to the existing building that would provide critically needed temporary housing. Since the former strip club is licensed for commercial use, it could be converted into a winter shelter for women and children – a way to keep families together, out of the cold and out of harm’s way or domestic violence.
Creager said the housing bureau looked at approximately a dozen other large sites such as bowling alleys, but settled on the Powell site because of its proximity to services and transportation.
No site was perfect. The rapid transit projects’ reconfiguration from Powell Blvd. to Division St. is a setback. Environmental remediation is needed to remove dirt fill. Creager called the fill a low level hazard that enabled the City to negotiate a below market purchase price of $3.7 million and excavation may leave room for underground parking on the property.
Closing is set for the end of September. Permits could begin to get pulled in early 2018 with possible construction starting in 2019.
Some 32 affordable housing projects are in the Bureau’s pipeline to chip into the need for 24,000 housing units under 80% MFI. Homeowners’ willingness to add attached dwelling units can also help meet housing needs. The City posited that about 3000 new ADUs would emerge over the next 30 years. The current rapid pace of conversions may increase that number.
Creager called ADUs a good utilization of property to meet projected housing needs. To encourage long-term rather than short-term rentals, ADU pilot projects are currently planned for North and NE Portland in connection with Prosper Portland (formerly the Portland Development Commission).
Other projects on the drawing board include the YMCA site at 60th and Powell formerly owned by the Parks Department. That redevelopment will likely move forward in 2020 with promises to retain a daycare center. While the existing building will be torn down to make way for a three or four story structure, Creager said the charming exterior could be emulated in the new build, perhaps by reconstructing the existing frontage.
The Clinton Triangle area that includes the Portland fire and rescue property will also be subject to redevelopment at some point, according to Creager. The bulk of new development will be in Lents and in “good geographic areas” East of I-205.
Creager is particularly proud of inroads the bureau has made to help mitigate exorbitant costs of flood insurance that threaten to push families in the Johnson Creek area out of their homes.
A somewhat dubious sign of housing success is the recent point-in-time homeless counts that show an “only” 10% rise in houselessness in Portland, compared to a 30% rise in Seattle.

Last week D. and I decided to go to the tidepools at Pigeon Point, even though the low tide that day was going to be relatively high.
But once we got over the hill and on the road to San Gregorio and saw the heavy marine layer of dull gray fog sweeping in from the ocean over the fields, we decided to forego the tidepools for the day and go instead a few miles further to a place on Pescadero Creek D. had discovered several months ago.
So we swung down the coast to Pescadero, and once we turned back up into the hills to follow Pescadero Creek, we were blessed with beautiful clear sunshine and mild temperatures.
Pescadero Creek flows year-round from springs in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and is very close to a deposit of natural gas and oil, which has not been extracted. The general area used to be logged but fortunately the visual signs of this activity are minor.
We stopped along the road near the village of Loma Mar, among the redwoods, alders and ferns, and scrambled down the bank to the creek. Here's some pics I took of what we saw.
Leaves in an alder thicket creekside.
Fallen bigleaf maple leaf and grass seeds on a gravel bar in the creek.
Pacific banana slug. One of three D. and I sight along the creek, this one is approximately 6" / 15 cm long.
Shallow water rushing over rocks.
Ladybugs are busy on an alder leaf.
Blackberry blossoms bloom on large shrubby trees all along the creek banks.
And here's a couple of nice pics D. took.
As the sun slowly sinks behind the stately and serene redwoods, we have a picnic dinner at a curve in the stream on a tiny beach of very fine damp sand. All we can hear is the creek rushing past in the shallows, making its way toward the vast Pacific. Deep shade steals down the creekbed, tree by tree, fern by fern. The water holds no more glints of sun. Dampness and chill settle around our shoulders. The day is ending. It is time to go home.

|Porvoon kaupunki - Borgå stad|
- Of which land
| 663.71 km²|
| 48,012 (31.05.2008) |
|Official languages||Finnish, Swedish|
|City Manager||Marcus Henricson|
Porvoo (ˈporʋoː) in Finnish or Borgå in Swedish, is a municipality situated on the southern coast of Finland approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Helsinki. The town received its name from a Swedish earth fortress near the river Porvoonjoki which flows through the town (Swedish Borgå, borg meaning castle and å river). Porvoo is one of the six medieval towns in Finland, first mentioned as a city in texts from 14th century. Porvoo is the seat of the Swedish speaking Diocese of Borgå of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland.
The Porvoo Common Statement is a report issued at the conclusion of theological conversations by official representatives of four Anglican Churches and eight Nordic and Baltic Lutheran Churches in 1989-1992. It established the Porvoo Communion, so named after the Porvoo Cathedral where the Eucharist was celebrated on the final Sunday of the conversations leading to the Statement.
The central point of the old town is the medieval, stone and brick Porvoo Cathedral which gave its name to the Porvoo Communion - an inter-church agreement between a number of Anglican and Lutheran denominations. The cathedral was damaged by fire, started deliberately by vandals, on 29 May 2006: the roof was totally destroyed but the interior is largely intact. The red-coloured wooden storage buildings on the riverside are a proposed UNESCO world heritage site. Already by the early 19th century the authorities understood the value of the old town, and so with the need for growth a plan was made for a 'new town' built adjacent to the old town, following a grid plan but with houses also built in wood.
By the end of the 20th century there was pressure to develop the essentially untouched western side of the river. There was concern that growth would necessitate the construction of a second bridge across the river into the town, thus putting further strain on the wooden town. An architectral competition was held in 1990, the winning entry of which proposed building the second bridge. Plans for the western side of the river have progressed under the direction of architect Tuomas Siitonen, and both a vehicle bridge and a pedestrian bridge have been built. The design for new housing is based on a typology derived from the old store houses on the opposite side of the river. Yet another new development entails the construction of a large business park called King's Gate (Kuninkaanportti in Finnish), which is presently under construction.
Porvoo railway station is now closed to regular train services, but a special excursion train from Helsinki (comprising preserved former VR diesel railcars from the 1950s) operates on summer Saturdays.
