    I am working on that but will probably take me till late tonight to finish it. I’d like to create a separate schools page, and hopefully will be able to create room for it with the tabs above. Anybody who sees this between now and say midnight, sending your link would be helpful, otherwise I will be pulling ’em all up off the web.

    Sure, let me see what kind they are first. Email me at the_vanmatres@msn.com and get me some contact info. Maybe I can have them out this weekend.

    Thanks,

    It could be useful to parents who don’t know what all the options are to have a list of WS schools, including contact info or website links. Where would be a good place to put this, WSB?

    I do not know anything about the history of the SBC , never claimed to. But despite that how could anyone, except by war and force impose a theocracy in our country. No way would this slide by our congress or judicial system. That’s a bit out there.

    I simply wanted to know why they specifically make the claims they do. Thank you for your input and information.

    I also could not get the pages to load on the online book.

    January 22 at 7:00 pm Hope Lutheran School will host an Open House for all prospective families.

    My family has found Hope to be a wonderful school with dedicated teachers who go to amazing lengths to teach and care for our children. We have been very pleased with the quality of teachers and the administration. We would wholeheartedly recommend Hope to families looking for a smaller school environment where the child’s needs are the priority.

    As a mom who has been through school hell I have one piece of advice. I have found that there is a correlation between how much loving kindness my children have experienced at a school and how kindly I am treated by the school office administration. If the school secretary is warm and welcoming to me as a parent, that is a good sign that something right is happening at that school. Since trying to pick a school for our kids is rife with anxiety, confusion and indecision, this is as good an indicator as anything. There is no such thing as a perfect school, but Hope has exceeded my expectations and I am grateful to have stumbled upon it for my children.

    Thank you thank you thank you for the link to ordering Luciano’s online! I developed laryngitis, and I was sooo wanting delivery that I didn’t have to phone in (that also wasn’t Pizza Hut).

    Excellent! Will check this blog more often!

    Can anyone recommend a drycleaner for sweaters, pants, etc..? If I have to pay $10+ to clean a sweater I’d like them to do a good job. Thanks!

    We just upgraded to an HDTV and have debated switching to a dish from Comcast. We’re at the top of Gatewood Hill, and our Comcast service is generally pretty spotty. Can’t tell if it’s the signal or crappy interface, but we’re getting tired of turning on the TV and seeing a blue screen or else hitting pause during a show and then the whole thing freezes up. The only reason we are keeping Comcast for now is On Demand. We use that feature a lot and it’s not available with dishes from what I understand. monopoly!

    Another note from the 34th district meeting last night: the speaker for Edwards was greeted with cheering and wild applause from most of the 100+ people there. There was no speaker for Obama.

    Cingular AT&T merger created nearly overwhelming coverage in West Seattle. The original AT&T sites were first leased by cingular before the merger and filled in by Cingular in the months leading up to the merger. Cingular was much better at camouflage than AT&T so they got approved with few problems.

    That said, the model of phone it self is often the issue. Some have better reception and reach than others.

    There are also traffic issues around certain times due to so many people using them during morning and afternoon rush, sometimes you will get “network unavailable” errors along some of the commuter routes due to cell traffic overload.

    Those NIMBY’s who proudly fought cell towers in residential areas in the late 90’s can claim at least partial credit for some of the remaining dead or low signal spots.

    Anyone have a recommendation for a WS auto body shop that does excellent work for a fair price?

    And a really scary Huck ad.

    It has it all. Fearmongering, historical revisionism, destruction of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. A little something for everyone.

    Wes. Do you know anything about the history of the Southern Baptist convention and the changes made to it when it was taken over by Dominionist and Reconstructionists in 1979-1980?

    Do you understand they forced out theologians and teachers that allowed any variations from the literal interpretation of the Bible, young earth creationism, and the paramount importance of the Old Testament and especially Leviticus?

    The Baptist used to vary greatly since one of the tenants of their faith was that God revealed his message to each minister and member through his or her own study of the Bible. This “free will” was a core value of the protestant reformation since it took power from the feudal catholic church’s authoritarian abuse.

    Here is a link to two of the better history and time-line pages.

    http://www.mainstreambaptists.org/mbn/sbc_changes.htm

    http://www.mchorse.com/sbcchronology.htm

    Huckabee may not have been in on the takeover but he has continued to adhere to its message which will lead inevitably to a theocracy.

    Gimme a mainstream Christian of any denomination and you will hear nothing from me on their religion until they too start mixing church and state.

    In reference to the Rolling Stones article, I wonder how one might feel if a report was done that we shouldn’t vote for Hillary becasue she is a woman, or Obama because he is african american? But this article has taken the task to make judgement calls and some pretty harsh words to go along with it against Huckabee and that he is a christian. Should not the criteria for our president be one who has a good political track record and seems to have the most reasonable policies and not what they believe or what gender and color?

    Andrea, what part of his right-wingedness do feel goes over your rational mind?

    And Jan what does it take to lead this country that those two do not posess?

    I am not trying to be snarky just wondering what my neighbors think.

    Just a note on an option.

    I always have a computer with a tv card connected so I can watch tv in a window and capture bits I want to save or record entire shows for later. My DVR also does this but I also connect the output from my telescope and video camera to record digital video for later viewing or editing.

    The search lets you check a box for cats or dogs.

    Searching for “West Seattle” narrows it a little but still includes listings from other areas that use either word…

    Just a note from the 34th district meeting last night. A speaker for Hillary was greeted with 3 people applauding loudly followed by a room full of laughter by the other 100+ people in the room when the anemic smattering was recognized for what it signified.

    These are all people who will be out dorbelling for her in the rain if she is the nominee, but also the same people who are the most informed and attuned to the details and process of election year politics and the relative strengths and weakmnesses of primary candidates.


    We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

    I have defended Ron Pauls consistency in other forums. It is his world view that is flawed.

    As far as those currently running for the Republican nomination, he is also the least hypocritical. Of course that bar is set by some world class hypocrites…

    I am happy to see Fox shut out and smear one of the candidates from the right, only because it was apparently required to break through the cognitive dissonance of Libertarians who had been strolling along unconcernedly on a steady diet of Fox propaganda and fear-mongering.

    Too bad the skepticism had to be kick-started in this manner but the Libertarians will probably emerge from this battle a little more relevant and focused.

    Democrats will applaud the return of the constitutional powers to the balanced powers of co-equal executive, congressional and judicial branches, but will fight the theocratic, militant paranoid and “privacy for me but not for thee” branches of the libertarian political movements.

    Hell, I might vote for him in the primary just to annoy the WA Republican party. The WA republicans are choosing half their delegates in the primary and the Dems are choosing all of theirs at the caucus. (note: Feb 9th, 1 pm at a school near you)

    I recently switched to ATT and I’m a happy camper. Reception is great everywhere, no dropped calls. The customer service is excellent. The sales person even gave me his private cell phone number to call in case we had trouble setting up one of our phones. He also worked to get us a special refund when the price of the phone dropped a few weeks after we bought it. I’m so happy to leave Verizon, where I had been a customer for years and years. One of my kids’ phones malfunctioned four months after he got it, and they were NO HELP at all. All those many years of faithful bill-paying were worth nothing. Of course, now that we’re all gone, they want us back, desperately.

    Hey, honestly Ron Paul is the most trustworthy guy out there. You might not agree about all that he stands for but at least he is consistent (look at his voting record). If you supported Bush in the last election you can should be leary of anyone whom promises one thing……and then does another.

    Let’s end the one size fits all federal government….different regions of the U.S. should be run differntly as those regions represent different viewpoints/lifestyles. This what our founders wanted….That is what makes America great…..we can all live together promoting the message of freedom and individuality.

    Hey even if you don’t lik what Ron Paul has to say….at least let him say it!! (i.e. FOX news). The media should not control what or whom w ehear from!!!

    Cingular seems to have a good signal anywhere I’m at in West Seattle or other parts of town. It gets a little weird down in the valley between Gatewood Hill, and the highlands of Westwood to the north and Arbor Heights to the south, and by weird I mean two cell conversations, mine and another one I can hear. But that’s the only spot where Cingular/AT&T Wireless seems to have a problem and I attribute it to too many cell towers trying to cover the hills. I believe they’ve got repeaters all over West Seattle. Service is fine in Admiral, the Junction, Pigeon Point, Genesee, Delridge, Alki and Endolyne (a tough spot for some carriers) and elsewhere. I’d opt for the “no roaming charge” plan since that way you’re bound to get a carrier no matter where you are – that’s my plan and I think part of why I have such good “coverage.” Plus, Cingular/AT&T have rollover minutes – that’s a very handy thing if you only talk in batches and not continuously. YMMV.
