Or “LBB’s”, the birder’s derogatory referral to “little brown birds” – which are my favorites as they often have the sweetest song.

Anyhoo, I could probably I.D. the spider for you if I could figure out a way to view the image. Suggestions? I tried copy and paste but it didn’t work.

Handsome little devil. Sorry, no idea. Maybe there’s a designation for spiders like there is for fungus – i.e. “LBMs” which stands for any of the hundreds of indistinct little brown mushrooms that require more than a few seconds to uniquely identify?

Mighty-O Donuts is a small company with a focused, growth strategy. We respect individuals, community and culture and we’re making a difference by using organic ingredients and sustainable products. And we are passionate about what we do. If this resonates with you, then Mighty-O Donuts wants you on our team!

We are in growth mode and are currently looking for Production Bakers and Bakery Helpers. If you love small, team environments and can work independently once trained, let us know.

As a Production Baker, you’ll have at least one year of experience with bakery production, including handling dough and batters. If you have a general understanding of basic organic food principles — that’s a plus. There’s some heavy lifting of about 50 lbs and you’ll be standing for most likely, eight hours at a time. Some of your essential responsibilities will include mixing batters, finishing donuts, packaging and boxing orders and cleaning of the kitchen. Make sure your Food Handler’s permit is current.

As a Bakery Helper, some of your essential responsibilities will include cleaning the kitchen, organizing the bakery, prep and stock pre-production items, and assisting the baker with donut finishes. Doing this job well could lead to a Production Baker role at Mighty-O.

We have full-time Production Baker shifts available in the Wallingford café from 2am to 10:30am and part-time Bakery Helper shifts in the Wallingford café starting anytime from 5am and 7am and finishing around noon, depending on when you start.

If you have a great attitude, are self-motivated, highly organized, committed to quality and consistency, and have a desire to be a part of a growing organization, you’ll fit right in. We look forward to hearing from you!

Idris Elba was criticized for his “Wire” accent sounding more NY than Baltimore. There are some funny clips on YouTube when Dominic West lapsed into his native accent. In one episode, he ‘faked’ a British accent to go undercover, which cracked up his colleagues.

And British productions are always interesting due to the varying and divergent accents of the native speakers – even when they are supposed to be family members, as in “Downton Abbey”.

[cwit]

Agree on Idris Elba on the Wire and I was surprised to hear a British accent when I saw Dominic West in an interview. Lauren Cohan, who is Maggie on the Walking Dead, has a fairly convincing Southern accent. She’s British but was born in America and left in her early teens.

Kevin Costner in Robinhood is my favorite accent, though. ;)

I’ve heard that apparently it is linguistically easier for an Aussie or a Brit to do an American accent than vice versa.

On a related subject, I was just speaking with some fellow native Bostonians recently about certain actors are masters of the Boston dialect. Of course this list was heavy in native speakers (Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg). But there are also some non-natives that have done a very good job, like Bebe Neuwirth in Malice (1995) and Leo DiCaprio in films like the Departed (2006) and Shutter Island (2010). Those who have done a passable job, like Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting (1997). And those who have absolutely mangled it by mixing it with a New York accent: Alec Baldwin and Martin Sheen.

Charlie Hunnman is a Brit and plays a California biker on Sons of Anarchy. I think he is one of the best looking men on TV but he hasn’t quite mastered the American accent. Last week was painfully obvious. From my previous post, Justin Chambers on The Wedding Planner, bad movie, bad accent. yes to Idris Elba! Excellent actor.

[anonyme]

I would definitely agree that Brits & Aussies do better American accents than we do theirs. Examples: Idris Elba (The Wire), Robin McLeavy (Hell on Wheels) – the list is long.

Russell Crowe thinks that his accents are great, but they’re pretty crap. Several journalists have almost been punched out for saying so.

One American who can do any accent brilliantly is Meryl Streep.

The worst accent I’ve ever heard was Renee Zellweger in “Bridget Jone’s Diary”.

Voting ballots were recently mailed out, mine arrived Friday or Saturday. While driving on Marine View Drive Sunday morning I spotted a Voting Ballot envelope. I stopped to investigate further and found a total of 4 unopened ballots belonging to residents on 35th Ave SW near 110th SW. There was also some junk mail. I returned a ballot to one resident who agreed to take the others to the neighbors who didn’t answer their door. If you are a registered voter who hasn’t received your ballot, and you have an unlocked mailbox – it may have been stolen. Please remember to vote.

I don’t have any bulbs in the ground and could really just use some help with weeding. Does anyone have any good recommendations for just that? Thanks!

Yup, JoB, it’s all about image, not substance. Remember when the Bella Abzug’s of the world got respect for their intelligence and grit and actually moved the needle for women?

Now, the R’s are looking for the photogenic airheads who couldn’t put forth a cogent argument if their life depended on it.

Palin, Bachmann, Hasselbeck, the faces on Faux News, the list grows every day.

But it sells. Unfortunately, it sells…

How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

Just one, but the light bulb must really want to change.

Do note that the cafe has been listed for sale for a while:

http://www.commercialmls.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=property.detailBO&ln=120466

We’ve seen that listing for at least a few months. We don’t routinely report restaurant-sale listings any more as we’ve also noticed that they come and go – sometimes a restaurant will be posted, the listing will stay up a few months, then the listing will go away without an ownership change. But since you bring it up, it’s worth noting. Perhaps it’s already changed hands. Usually the only indication we get of that is when liquor-license transfer applications turn up in the state’s database.

While walking up the trail from Colman Pool toward the upper Bluff Trail, I encountered a medium-sized white dog. He/she was coming down the hill and we passed. I spoke to the dog in a friendly manner while scanning the trail for the owner. He/she seemed a little scared or stressed and kept going down the hill toward Williams Point and the pool. I believe the dog had a collar on. He/she had very strong pit bull features, but did not appear to be pure bred. I would say he/she was about 25 lbs.

Soon a couple of folks came along with their dogs and we discussed the lost dog. They had seen it earlier at the top and were going to try to get a better look at the collar in case there was a phone number to call. I hope the dog is reunited soon with its owner. This happened around 4:50 pm today. ~z

The simple fact that it didn’t carry any counties suggests the hard pull it’s gonna’ be and/or how people felt about the specific configuration of that iteration of an income tax.

And it does appear that it was significantly more popular on the west side than the east, albeit not popular enough.

Oh, and THANKS JTB!
