Monterey County., Cal., Ordinance 5217 (Jun. 11, 2013)
View Law
Brief Summary
This ordinance amended Title 21 of the County Code (relating to non-coastal zoning) to allow cottage food operations as a permitted use on residential property for all zones. The revisions updated County zoning code to comply with state law requiring cottage food operations to be permitted in homes. At the time of coding, the County Code had since been reorganized and renumbered.

Jurisdiction Name:
Monterey County
Does the law refer to priority populations in some way?
Yes. See references to "prevent[ing] poverty and hunger," "low income and rural communities in which residents may have limited opportunities to purchase healthy foods." § 1 (B)(1) and (2).
Does the law refer to or suggest a goal related to improving or protecting health?
Yes. See, e.g., references to "reduc[ing] obesity and obesity-related disease epidemics" especially in communities with limited opportunities to purchase healthy food . . . which may result in residents relying for much of their shopping on fatty, processed foods sold at convenience markets and corner stores." § 1 (B)(2).
Does the law refer to or suggest a goal of fostering improved environmental conditions?
Yes. "There shall be no production of noxious or toxic odors or fumes, nor increase in numbers or duration of noise or traffic levels above those of ordinary residential use; nor use, storage, or disposal of materials of a nature or quantity not ordinarily found in residential neighborhoods, which have the potential to endanger the health, safety, or peaceful enjoyment of their property or neighborhood residence, or to constitute a hazard to their environment." § 4 (new section 21.64.090 (C)(4)).
Does the law refer to or suggest a goal related to promoting or supporting the community's economy?
Yes. See references to these terms: "entrepreneurial development," "microenterprises," "household incomes" and "strengthen local economies." § 1 (B).
Does the law include findings (including jurisdiction-specific findings), or are there findings in the larger section, title, article, or chapter which the law is part of?
Yes. The stated findings include that "the California State Legislature adopted ..., the California Homemade Food Act...exempting home-based food businesses known as "cottage food operations" from many of the regulations that apply to traditional commercial food production;" and "[California] Government Code section 51035(a),... provides that cities and counties shall not prohibit a cottage food operation in any residential dwellings." § 1 (A). Also found that intent of state law included: to "create small businesses and help the economy recover and prosper by increasing the opportunities for entrepreneurial development through microenterprises that help supplement household incomes, prevent poverty and hunger, and strengthen local economies;" "Support community-based food production (cottage foods) which may reduce obesity and obesity-related disease epidemics, especially in ... communities in which residents may have limited opportunities to purchase healthy foods ...;" " Join thirty-two other states that have passed laws that allow business entrepreneurs to use their home kitchens to prepare for-sale foods that are not potentially hazardous." § 1 (B).
Does the law have a stated intent or purpose, or is there an intent or purpose in the larger section, title, article, or chapter which the law is part of?
Yes. Purpose was to implement state Homemade Food Act by classifying cottage food operations as a home occupation permitted on residential property, and establish regulations for home businesses (see new section 21.64.090 in the ordinance regarding the "purpose.") § 5.
Does the law include definitions, or are there definitions in the section, title, article, or chapter which the law is part of?
Unclear. Although not titled "definitions," new sections 21.06.215 and 21.06.650 added by the ordinance include definitions for "cottage food operation" and "home occupation." §§ 2, 4.
Does the law address implementation in some way?
Are there enforcement provisions that identify specific penalties or consequences for non-compliance?
Does the law include an evaluation component, beyond reporting on activity?
Does the law require an extra or atypical financial or resource investment?

Mont Blanc Guides | IFMGA Mountain Guides
Climb Mont Blanc with a group or as a private trip with one of our experienced IFMGA Mountain Guides. Mont Blanc is on our doorstep from our Chamonix Alpine base and our tried and tested program will prepare you for the ascent whilst giving you the best chance of reaching the summit.
It is important to acclimitise before attempting Mont Blanc. Spending a night or two in a high mountain hut and reaching a summit above 3700m is pretty crucial preperation for success. For our trips we generally head through to Italy to climb the Grand Paradiso which is one of Italy's favorite mountains and is a great peaks in it's own right, with a summit of just over 4000m.
Over the course of the week we aim to prepare you technically for Mont Blanc as well as getting everyone acclimatised. We use crampons and an Ice axe, as well as being roped up at all times on the glacier. We also aim to get some scrambling/climbing practice before the Mont Blanc ascent, in preparation for the Gouter ridge.
People have to abort their Mont Blanc ascents for a number of reasons, weather, altitude sickness, conditions for example, but the overriding reason for having to turn around is fitness.
The summit day will typically take around twelve hours with up to 1700m of ascent and descent, all done at altitude. You will need a good level of hill fitness to have a successful and enjoyable week.
Although no prior mountaineering experience is required toclimb Mont Blanc, you will need to be physically and mentallyfit. Some good long days out in the UK hills is goodpreparation, especially getting in some vertical ascentsimilar to Mont Blanc.
How technical is the route?
Mont Blanc certainly isn't just a walk. Taking the Gouter route as an example, there is some rock and snowy mixed ground to scramble up for about 600m from the Tete Rousse hut, which would be about a grade II scramble in the UK. Often we wear crampons for this section.
Higher up on the Bosses ridge, there are some narrow sections, and here you will need good crampon skills and a head for heights. It's not nearly as exposed as some alpine ridges, but you will need to be happy on a reasonably narrow ridge.
What equipment do I need?
Please see our Kit List...
Do I need to hire a guide to climb Mont Blanc?
There is no requirement to hire a Mountain Guide to climb Mont Blanc, and you will see many groups heading up without a guide. There are of course many advantages to hiring a guide even if you have done some mountaineering ascents before such as further training & mountain education as well as safety. Our Mountain Guides are all fully qualified and know Mont Blanc intimately. We have a good handle on mountain conditions and weather and use a conservative approach to maintain good safety standards, often turning around before other teams if conditions are becoming unsafe.
Example itinerary for a six day Mont Blanc ascent:
Our programme is tried and tested and is designed to provide you with crucial training and acclimatisation whilst arriving at the foot of Mont Blanc with energy and motivation for the final ascent. If you have previously climbed the Grand Paradiso, then sign up to one of our private trips, where the schedule is bespoke and we can climb elsewhere for the first three days.
0800 meeting with guides in Chamonix. Equipment check. There is time to buy snacks for the mountain and a packed lunch. We then head to the excellent rock climbing venue near Chamonix called Les Gaillands. We spend a couple of hours here climbing easy rock routes in big boots which is good practice for mountaineering and scrambling. It's also an opportunity to use the harnesses and practice your knots.We then drive through the tunnel into Italy and into the Grand Paradiso National Park (1 1/2 hour drive). The ascent to the hut takes around two and a half hours, and is a stunning alpine walk through forests with ever changing views, and hopefully some wildlife spotting along the way.
Ascent of the excellent Grand Paradiso (4061m), second night in mountain hut, such as the Emmanuele refuge. Generally the ascent of the Paradiso takes 5-7 hours, with the return trip from the summit taking around 3 hours. More details of the Grand Paradiso trip. By spending a second night in a mountain refuge at 2800m we benefit from further acclimatisation.
From the refuge, we walk back down to the car and return to Chamonix, optional Rock Climbing training and scrambling in the Chamonix valley.
Ascent to Tete Rousse refuge. This is a deliberately easy day and should take around two and half hours. The aim is to arrive at the refuge feeling not too tired and ready for the long summit day ahead.
Ascent of Mont Blanc – starting from the Tete Rousse refuge we usually begin very early in the morning. The ascent to the summit usually takes six – eight hours including short stops. From there we descend to the Gouter refuge at 3800m in around two – three hours, where we spend the night.
Spare summit day/return to Chamonix. From the Gouter refuge it is a two hours descent to the Tete Roussse, and then an easy walk back to the tramway and lifts to Chamonix – time for a beer whatever the outcome of our summit bid!
We run two types of Mont Blanc courses…
Our open courses require a minimum of two bookings for the trip to run, and are run with a maximum of four climbers. A guiding ratio of 1:4 for the first three days and 1:2 for the Mont Blanc summit days.
We run scheduled Mont Blanc trips every month from May to October.
For private group bookings:
The first three days of the programme are bespoke, and there is opportunity to climb an alternative mountain to the Grand Paradiso.
Our prices includes:
It does not include:
Upon receipt of your deposit and medical form we will email your detailed joining instructions and equipment list. Our Mont Blanc FAQ's page has the answer to most questions and you are welcome to email us any questions you may have : firstname.lastname@example.com
Estimation of Mont Blanc Expenses:
You will catch the lift at Les Houches and the train which is around 35€ for the return trip.
Sometimes we use a lift in Italy or the Aiguille du Midi which is 65€ per person.
Accommodation costs in Chamonix vary, but you will have three nights in the town. We can book you half board accommodation for 75€ per night.
You will need some cash for buying water (not included in the hut price) and snacks/lunch at the huts.

This race experience was extra special because we had all of our Trimarni athletes in one house (except for Heidi who was with her family/friends just a few houses down - super convenient!).
With two of our athletes doing their first Ironman, we could not have asked for a better venue for our athletes to enjoy racing for 140.6 miles.
I rented a large house for our group of 10 which was off Greenwood, just about .6 mile from Main Street. We had several side streets to walk on which was nice to avoid any busy roads.
We were less than 1/2 mile from the local grocery store (Hannaford) and it was easy for everyone in our group to get to downtown by foot.
Our 3-floor rental home had a lot of character. There were a lot of updates inside the home but a lot of old features like claw foot tubs, creaky wood floors and lots of decorative features. Needless to say, we loved this house because it always was the topic of conversation for our group.
Campy, of course, loved his fenced-in backyard.
Now I will say that our kitchen was amazing! We would all gather around the island and drink coffee/eat and chat in the morning and throughout the day.
We also had an industrial sized refrigerator and freezer which we had no problem filling up on a daily basis.
It was great to be there with our athletes as a spectator. Although I was on the sidelines on race day, I still felt as if I was one of the group on the days leading up to the race. I had a great time training in Placid for my mini training camp and being around the positive energy from our crew.
Mirror Lake is unbelievable - not just because of it's backdrop but there is a cord under water that is visible while you are swimming so that you can just follow the line without getting off course. There are small buoys lined up in the lake so this makes for a very easy-to-navigate swim course. Plus, the rectangle swim has two turn buoys that are just about 25 meters from one another so the swim is literally and out and back course with little to no chop. The water temp was around 72 degrees but with a wetsuit, it was comfortable if not warm at times. By Tues, when the temperature increased from mid 70's race weekend to 90's, we swam with only our speedsuits.
Another great feature of Lake Placid is the bike-friendly roads no matter where you are staying. With the course being a two loop course from Placid to Keene (from the ski jump side) to Jay/Upper Jay to Wilmington and back up to Placid on the Whiteface mountain side, you will always see athletes out on the course training or gearing up for the race. I rode the course twice (75 miles on Thurs and 56 miles on Saturday) and I never felt alone out there.
It was great for Karel and I to help out our athletes as needed on the days leading up to the race. There is so much to do before an Ironman that it is easy to get overwhelmed to race for 140.6 miles.
Our athletes were super prepared, physically, going into this race as Joe, Adam, Mike and Heidi put in the work and made huge gains in fitness over the past 8-9 months.
Campy enjoyed his vacation and although he was exhausted on a daily basis from all the excitement, he could always be found in the kitchen on his comfy chair.
Taylor (Adam's wife), Erica (Joe's wife) and Erin (Mike Girlfriend) were amazing. Whereas I was out training or with our athletes, these ladies did an exceptional job feeding the group. The meals were outstanding!
Best sherapas ever! And THANK YOU Taylor for all of these great pictures!! You are a great Trimarni photographer!
It was so fun to make so many memories with our group.
And to share so many experiences together....especially for our first timer Ironman athletes, Adam and Mike.
Saturday came quick and it was time for everyone to check in their bikes and Bike and Run gear bags.
Did I mention that we loved hanging out as a group in our house?
And doing our nails - Trimarni Jamberry nails!
Oh I almost forgot - Friday night was Pizza and Pasta night! A tradition of mine - shared with the group at IM Lake Placid.
Stay tuned for part 2 of the behind the scenes recap of 2015 IM Lake Placid - race day!!
Thank you again Taylor for these amazing pics!!

Salmon Epiphyllum
April 2008
Buds appear two months earlier. The buds swell, elongate, differentiate into petal and base. Over the course of an afternoon, the blossoms gradually open until, that night, the bud fully opens. The next morning it's fully resplendently in bloom. The next day, it retains its posture but begins to wilt. By the end of the second day, the limp blossoms collapse under the force of gravity. The day after and thereafter the faded blossom wilts, then in the passing days, dries and remains a joyous memory forever. Hence, these photos, and, from 2006--before the hard freeze severely damaged the plants (especially hard hit was the fluorescent epi)--this QuickTime movie.

Automotive Archaeology - Monk's Z/28
I'm working on a huge find that you'll read about in the next issue, but this time it's just a quick little discovery. There was a story circulating in my club about a local guy who had an original '69 Camaro Z/28 tucked in his garage for more than a decade, but all anyone knew was the guy was known as "Monk." I looked around for a year and never found the guy. Then, at a club party, the topic turned to my barn-find expeditions. One guy spoke up, mentioning that he had a '69 Z/28 that had been sitting for a decade or two. It was the elusive Monk! He purchased the car in the late '70s with the non-original motor but the original transmission. He discovered the hard way that someone had replaced most of the valvesprings when the one original spring let loose, dropping the valve through the piston. He pulled the engine, pushed the car to the back of the garage to fix, and there it has sat for what turns out to be three decades.
Do you know of any cool barn finds? I travel all over the Midwest hunting for hidden or abandoned muscle cars. I do not divulge information on where the cars are or who owns them; I just photograph them and get the history. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The eyes are often the first feature that one notices about a person. The thin skin of the eye area, however, is prone to some of the first signs of aging. Over time, the elasticity of the eyelids is reduced. There seems to be excess skin in the upper eyelid, making it appear droopy and tired. The area below the eye can appear swollen or have obvious bags. The skin may be wrinkled or loose and crepe-like. The eyes will appear tired, even when they are not.
Blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift can give one an "uplift." Dr. Jennifer Levine can perform many types of eyelifts in NYC to restore beautiful, vibrant eyes. The approach is tailored to the individual patient. Some patients require removal of excess skin, muscle and fat and tightening the wall. Sometimes, the lower lid procedure may be performed through an invisible incision inside the eyelid. At times the inner eyelid fat pads may need to be repositioned to prevent a hollowed-out appearance. Not one single technique of NYC eyelid surgery is ideal for everyone.
Eyelid lifts can either be done alone or together with face and neck lifts or eyebrow and forehead lifts in NYC. *If done alone, the operation takes about one and a half hours for all four eyelids. The upper eyelid skin is removed through fine incisions placed in the upper eyelid creases. The fat is trimmed through the same incision. A fine suture is used to close the skin and is removed four days later. The lower eyelid fat is removed through an incision on the inside of the eyelid, so there is no visible scar. Furthermore, this incision is safest as it leaves the supporting muscles of the eyelid undisturbed. If there is extra skin of the lower eyelid, it is removed through a fine incision in a wrinkle just beneath the eyelashes.
*Recovery from eyelid surgery in NYC is complete within seven to ten days. A small amount of lumpiness is usual at the corners of the eyes. Minimal blurry vision rapidly resolves. *Sunglasses allow you to go out in public immediately after Eyelid Plastic surgery, and make-up can be worn within five days. *Normal activity and exercise can resume three weeks after surgery.
We sometimes combine eyelid lifts with new procedures called endoscopic eyebrow and forehead lifts to improve the height and maintain the contour of the upper eyebrow. We will discuss whether you might benefit from this combined procedure or a non surgical face lift in NYC during our consultation.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is one of the top performed plastic surgery procedures in New York and across the nation. This is largely because it creates dramatically rejuvenating results.
Because the smallest of changes can impact the results, it is highly recommended to complete this procedure under the care of a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Her expertise is one of the reasons Dr. Jennifer Levine is sought after for this procedure. She is also well-known for delivering results that look natural and require minimum downtime.
To provide the best experience for her patients, Dr. Levine completes a growing number of blepharoplasty procedures out of the comfort of her office with the patient under local anesthesia. This is safer for the patient and reduces both downtime and cost significantly.
If you are looking to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes, schedule a consultation today by calling 212.517.9400.
Blepharoplasty can help improve the following:
Blepharoplasty is one of the procedures where a minor change can produce significant results. When you come in for your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and discuss options on how to achieve them. Dr. Levine will then put together a plan and indicate whether both, upper and lower blepharoplasty are necessary.
With us, you're in great hands. Dr. Levine is often recommended for upper and lower blepharoplasty in NY by patients and colleagues alike.
To determine if you are a good fit for blepharoplasty in New York, you will first come in for a consultation with Dr. Levine. Once your medical history and any other pieces of relevant information have been discussed, Dr. Levine will recommend the best course of action for your specific case. There may be additional procedures that are recommended for you based on your specific goals.
During the initial consultation with Dr. Levine, she will assess all your facial features as well as take down all of your relevant health history. It is important to take a look at how the desired changes will affect the harmony of your face. If any additional procedures would be helpful for your specific case, this is when Dr. Levine would recommend them to you. After your consultation we can schedule your appointment for your blepharoplasty.
Yes, there are a few ways in which you can enhance the effects of the procedure. For example, use of non-surgical treatments such as botox or filler to restore a more youthful contour to the face is often opted for by patients. Sometimes at the time of eyelid surgery, patients undergo brow surgery, or a mid-face surgery to achieve optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns about other procedures aside from your blepharoplasty, do not hesitate to ask Dr. Levine during your consultation.

Four things you need to do to run faster
Posted Sat, 22nd Oct 2016
Want to Run faster?
Years of experience of coaching and being an ex-national athlete have taught me that there are four things that you need to have in place to get faster and stay injury free.
So many runners that I talk to just run at one speed all the time and do not really have any structure to what they are doing.
But if you have a specific target you want to work towards then having a structure behind what you do is important. It is important for many reasons. Having a structure gives you purpose and you will be able to see progression - both very motivating factors on cold winters days!
You need your structure to consist of a few things:
- Running at the speed you want to race at
- Running at a speed much slower than the speed you want to race at for recovery (usually at least 2 minutes a mile slower)
- Running faster than the speed you want to race at.
- Running at a combination of these speeds in a session
- Technique work and strength work
I talk about the four things you need in a lot more depth in the video. So watch away!
If you are after more help for free, please join my running group in FB.
Happy running!

Dental Implant FAQ
are rapidly becoming the restoration of choice when a single or multiple teeth are missing. By replacing the root of your missing tooth, we can then place a dental crown, a bridge, or a denture appliance on your newly implanted titanium root, giving you a firm, stable restoration. Our team at Manhattan Maxillofacial Surgery Group can provide you with a permanent solution. Working with Dr. Del Valle and Dr. Shahgoli we can design a treatment plan that is right for you.
What are dental implants?
When a tooth is missing, it can be replaced with a couple of options. Patients can have a faux tooth placed with a bridge or denture, which relies on neighboring teeth to keep it in place. Or, for a more permanent restoration, we can create a new root with the placement of an implant, which is then covered with a crown, bridge or denture depending on the number and placement of your missing teeth. A dental implant is used to be that firm post, it is permanently fixed to your jaw through a process known as osseointegration.
Are dental implants healthy?
Yes, dental implants are a healthy option for dental restoration. In fact, having an implant placed is a much healthier option than leaving the space empty. When you lose a tooth whether due to decay, injury, or extraction, there are some responses that then occur.
The first response is an immediate decrease in bone mass in your jaw due to sorption. Your jaw requires the stimulation and pressure that is caused from chewing in order to stay healthy. Without that pressure, your jaw there will be a 25% decrease in the width of bone in that spot during the first year, and it will continue to an overall 4 millimeter decrease in height in the time following. Dental Implants can give your bone the stimulation it needs to stay healthy. The second response is room for your remaining teeth to drift or shift. As the neighboring teeth move, your bite is adjusted. This can lead to bite issues and stress on the jaw joint known as TMJ dysfunction.
How can dental implants replace my teeth?
Once Dr. Del Valle or Dr. Shahgoli have placed your implants, and they are stabilized, we can then place a dental prosthetic over the implant. For some patients, this may mean a dental crown, or a dental bridge or denture appliance. Depending on your needs, it may be necessary to place multiple implants. We will help you determine the best course of action following your evaluation.
What is the rate of success for dental implants?
Dental Implants have been used in dentistry since the 1960's and their use has significantly increased in the past decade. Long term studies have shown dental implants to have the highest rate of success over any other dental restoration. With greater than a 95% success rate, most patients never need to have their implants removed or replaced. Failure in most situations is due to the patient having a condition that prohibits their rate of healing, and if the implant is subject to failure, it is often caught within a few months of placement.

Working for peanuts in Cameroon
It was homesickness for Cameroonian food which first gave Thierry Nyamen the idea for his business.
He was studying for a PhD in agricultural mechanisation in Ukraine and could not find any peanut paste there.
"My mother could not send me the groundnut paste and I was very disappointed," he told the BBC series African Dream.
"How Cameroonians cannot make a faster food for people who need the product quickly?" he says he asked himself at the time.
So he started to dream of a machine that would turn peanuts into a long-lasting and easily transportable powder.
When he completed his studies, in 1999, he applied for several engineering jobs in Cameroon but, in spite of having a doctorate, he did not get any replies.
He then designed his dream machine and started to make peanut powder. To advertise it and to make ends meet, he worked as a cook for a year in the capital, Yaounde.
"In 2000 I started to cook groundnut sauce with rice on the road. It was so difficult. Some of my friends called me a madman. 'Are you sure that you have a PhD?'," Mr Nyamen told the BBC Africa's Randy Joe Sa'ah.
On top of that, he had a job as a taxi driver.
"When I was collecting some of my passengers I wanted to show them that this is the new product I've made in the market… They didn't want to believe that this is from Cameroon."
Best young entrepreneur
In 2003 he was chosen as Cameroon's best young entrepreneur and received a 10m CFA ($20,000, £12,500) prize which was given to him by President Paul Biya.
"That money was the start of the real business… First of all, I bought a car because I was a driver, I was doing all works, I was a mechanic, producing in the night and selling in the day, I was all in the company," he explained.
According to him, the car was even his "hotel" when he had to go to other towns to advertise his business.
Soon his small company, known at the time as Inter-Agro and now called NT Foods, took flight.
Its products, commercialised under the trademark Tanty, were especially attractive to women working in the cities because of the reduced preparation time involved.
They also benefited from a growing interest in healthy food made with no chemical additives.
Local products
Although the firm initially centred on the production of peanut powder and oil, it quickly diversified and started making things like soybean pap enriched with fruit or fish powder.
"We created a pap especially for children. Oh, we were selling!" the entrepreneur said.
The most recent products include packaged plantain chips, peanuts and coconuts.
Mr Nyamen believes that Cameroon has no need to import food from Europe or elsewhere and that, on the contrary, it should export more.
"The main purpose of our company, NT Food, is food processing, give value to our local products. You know, we used to talk about globalisation; it's to show that we have something to put in that market."
So his plan at the moment is to start finding foreign niche markets, especially in other central African countries.
What advice would he give to those who might want to start a business?
"First of all, they must go to school. You must learn well what you're doing. I used to work 17 hours per day and they said: 'Oh, it's enough'. Enough more than who? Europeans are working more - that is why Europe is like that," he said.
He added that people should not feel that they are too old to start a business.
And how is his company faring?
"We're moving step by step. We're growing. We have around 100 supermarkets selling our products. But we need the help of some banks because when you want to buy raw material, when you want to pay your employees, when you want to pay taxes, it will need always money," Mr Nyamen said.
African Dream is broadcast on the BBC Network Africa programme every Monday morning.
Every week, one successful business man or woman will explain how they started off and what others could learn from them.

There's only one way to describe it: Wow!
" Christopher Louden,
Jazz Times
A model of lustrous tone and clear headed energy, then waxes blue...exercising the fine art of understatement
." Josef Woodward,
Down Beat
Her gift is utterly distinctive and even innovative, since there isn't another singer out there who phrases like her... a pop masterpiece...It's revelatory and sounds effortless.
" Thomas Jurek,
All Music Guide
Jackie Allen… possesses a voice that combines the expressiveness of Annie Lennox and the pitch of Rickie Lee Jones, while achieving it's own bright, dramatic sound…sassy… tender. Download this.
" V.R. Peterson, People Magazine
A sparking performance… enhanced by her warm, pliable voice and expansive range, Allen's greatest strength was her sheer musicality and the way in which she both framed and interpreted her songs.... interpretations that found an amiable balance between storytelling and jazz spontaneity...Allen also revealed an admirable willingness to explore and add new material to the familiar jazz lexicon.
Don Heckman,
Los Angeles Times
You can't help absorbing Jackie's emotional pull. She gives her audience a personal reflection of her inner soul that everyone can enjoy.
" Jim Santella,
All About Jazz
This new amalgam of pop-jazz-folk-funk-gospel is pure Allen, just what she wants her gifted voice to be saying…words flow from her exquisite voice, time after time. Allen often sounds like she's sharing her inner most secrets and deepest fears... this feels like a very real 21st century American woman, struggling between her feminine resilience and the vulnerabilities of an ageless girl.
Kevin Lynch,
The Capitol Times
… musically sophisticated and artistically daring... she knows how to utterly reinvent the most familiar tunes...Allen has a knack for unearthing long-forgotten tunes.
" Howard Reich,
Chicago Tribune
Expressive power, heart felt sparkle and stirring allure.
Northwest Jazz Profile
Allen's got an entire rainbow of emotional colors and, of course, the great musicality in her singing.
" Critic's choice,
L.A. City Beat
Jackie Allen casts an amazing spell with her voice. From the opening lines of the opening track, "Lazy Afternoon", you are seduced by the soaring yet intimate nature of her singing—wide open, yet full of secrets. There is sensual longing, and a sense of peaceful contentedness with the world that reminds one of the perfect quality of certain late spring or early autumn days, days when one's appreciation for the beauty and generosity of the universe is colored by the knowledge that such perfection must come to an inevitable end. Indeed, the title and song selection of Allen's latest recording point toward the melancholy aspect of love. This collection will definitely have listeners contemplating their own lives, even as they marvel at the rare beauty of Allen's voice and her ability to render these songs in particularly flattering ways
." Marshall Bowden,
Pop Matters
Chicago-based vocalist Jackie Allen and classically trained bass player and composer Hans Sturm have put together a daring, serious, sensuous, and often intense musical experience over the course of 72 minutes. The flexibility of both these musicians is striking, especially Allen. Her voice takes on more shapes and forms than one has the right to expect from human vocal chords. It can be husky, sexy, gracefully pure, and most of all, passionate. Sturm shows throughout this session that he is a master of the double bass. He makes it sound like a guitar, a violin, and a horn as he strums, plucks, slides, and bows. He does more than accompany Allen; he is an equal partner. This album ups the ante for voice/bass combination. It demands serious and committed listening. Landscapes: Bass Meets Voice will leave most breathless.

As a busy homeschooling mom working part-time to provide for my family, I find that the smallest things can bring some of the greatest joys–like hearing my kids singing a hymn together in the kitchen while they make breakfast, or feeling the warmth of the gas fireplace on a chilly day, or seeing a blanket of fresh-fallen snow outside when I wake up in the morning.
Even finding the perfect recipe for making waffles on our new waffle maker–batter that's not too heavy or thick or runny–can make my day a little sunnier. Why does this matter?
It's because as moms we've chosen to invest substantially in motherhood–this means we're doing laundry, cooking, cleaning up, teaching, training, wiping noses, nursing babies, bandaging little boo-boos, saying "I love you" often, praying with our children as we tuck them in bed at night–all things which can seem so small and insignificant in the day-to-day scheme of things.
Because of this, we need to be reminded that the little things matter. They add up to a life of faithfulness, and the sum total of all the little expressions of love, and the sacrifices and daily dyings to self we engage in as mothers add up to a huge weight of impact on the lives of our children.
When we forget this, we have a God who is there when we're tempted to ask Him, "What difference am I really making with my life?" He hears our cries; He knows our need to be reminded that He cares about the little things in our lives, just like we care about all those little things in our family's life.
That's why, in a moment of stillness in a crazy, busy day–perhaps hearing the song of a early spring songbird, or smelling the fresh scent of rain after the storm has passed, reading a simple promise in Scripture, and yes, finding the perfect waffle recipe after years of searching–really does matter. Just like what you do matters…so very much.
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." ~Galatians 6:9

KW Farms
San Luis Valley, Colorado
For those of you who've hunted or raised your own livestock, you know what a key part the butcher plays in laying in your supplies of high quality meat, and how daunting it can be to work with them. Each meat processor seems to speak their own language. We've been dealing with Mel Jaramillo in Romeo for over ten years and have come a long way together. For the most part we've learned how to communicate. We still encounter surprises, but nothing like this summer when we had eight lambs and five steers to slaughter and Mel was too busy with 4H animals to take them all.
We took the animals to four different processors - two in Colorado Springs, one in Salida, and Mel processed one of the steers. The results were all over the map. But, the prevailing trend across the entire batch was that no one heeded my request for bones. Not one of these butchers could understand: "Marrow, knuckle, shank, oxtail, neck. If it's a bone, I want it."
For me, bones are why we raise animals. I love roasting them and scooping out the melting, toasted marrow, which rarely makes it out of the kitchen. Lately I've been making marrow butter, an elegant addition to the dinner table. Just blend the softened marrow with butter and some rosemary or other herb - put on fresh bread or potatoes or rice. Whatever you'd put butter on.
I love making stock, mystified by the health and wealth of it. I freeze or can the stock so it's on hand for cooking and soup making. Along with beef, pork, and lamb stock, I make fish stock from the seafood our nephews bring us from the Texas Gulf coast. Other favorites are fennel, parsley, and leek. Making stock with these is a great way to preserve the goodness of summer for winter soups, sauces, and braises. If you freeze the stock in ice cube trays it is available in quickly thawed small batches. You don't have to plan so far in advance.
I do this with juice, too, which makes winter smoothies a lot easier and more nutritious.
When we have rain, like at the end of this summer Dennis Lamb, wild food hunter extraordinaire, brings me mushrooms. My favorite thing to do with these is make mushroom essence. As with all stock making, there are a lot of ways to do this. I just simmer the mushrooms in water for at least two hours, then take the lid off and boil on high to reduce the liquid by about half, intensifying the flavor. Mushroom essence enhances any dish and there is no substitute for it. It is an honorable use of Dennis' wild food take.
Beyond cooking them, I love the aesthetics of bones. I keep a pile of them in one corner of the compost pile where the critters and sun clean them. They're fun to paint and make Dinosaur Land with, or string them up for climbing plants to scale, or make into sculptures, or wind chimes. They're simply great to look at and touch. Bones are good. I love everything about them.
|Building Bone Town at KW Farms
Of all the foul-ups the meat processors could have come up with, a lack of bones was probably the worst. I'm not the only one who loves bones. For many of our customers bones constitute a significant portion of their diet. In the batch of orders I was filling for our delivery to New Mexico last weekend, there were several requests for extra beef bones. I was so excited to fill these orders. We had the newly butchered beef, all stacked up in neat boxes in our new walk-in freezer. Alas, when I set about unloading the first animal, I found no bones. Beautifully cut sirloins. Brilliantly rosy ground beef. Hunky roasts.
No bones.
With a fury, I went through every single box. Five steers' worth. Boxes and boxes. 45 lb. boxes which, by the time I finished weighed a ton each. In the end I had a few lbs. of good looking beef shanks, oxtails, neck bones, and four packages of neatly trimmed marrow bones.
I hate to have a customer request something special and tell them we're out of stock. It's one thing to be out of tenderloin. That's understandable. There's about eight lbs. of tenderloin on a whole animal. Or a hanging tender, there's even less. But, bones - one finished steer can have some thirty five lbs. of soup bones, aside from neck and oxtail. How can we have soup bones - out of stock? We have run out of bones before, as we get to the tag end of freezer full of meat. We have food-savvy customers who order bones and organ meats along with their rib eyes.
But, we've never had bones be a rarefied item in our inventory. And yet they now are.
Small operations like ours need to sell the whole animal. So, we build our twelve and twenty five lb. beef bundles on the proportion of cuts in the animal: about 25% steaks, 27% roasts, 44% ground, and 4% bones and organs. Each bundle gets either a bone or organ meat, whichever the customer chooses. The bones and organs actually make up more than 4% of a steer, but 4% in a twenty five lb. bundle comes out right about one soup bone, or one pack of liver. A neat package.
Last night I had a customer come out to pick up a bundle he'd ordered before I discovered my bone crisis. When he set the meat in his truck he saw there was a soup bone in the bag. "Oh, Jeeps! There's a bone in here for you," he said to his dog, who was eagerly wagging his tail in the back seat.
I watched as my customer, my very good, loyal customer pulled out the pack of perfectly formed marrow bones - two in the pack - and cut it open. He tried to pry off one of them for the dog Jeeps, but the two bones were stuck together in a frozen bond. "Oh, well," he said. "I guess you get both of them."
"Lucky Jeeps." I said, wallowing in self-pity, thinking of those boxes and boxes of no bones.
"Lucky Jeeps," I repeated and imagined beautiful golden roasted bones simmering with mirepoix, making power broth. And this dog - what could he imagine? He wasn't imagining anything, he was lapping at the frozen marrow, softening it with his leathery tongue, his warm saliva, clamping down on it with his canine teeth.
I caught myself mid-wallow and realized that I see bones - and meat - just as Jeeps does. I tend to speak of our cattle production in lofty terms: wah - wah - wah- the benefit of animals to land, if properly managed. The environmental payoff of growing and grazing grass, the superior nutrition for humans. Wah - wah - wah - all the different cuts, and recipes, the preparation of meals, when really, all I want to do is sink my teeth into it, just like Jeeps. It was a moment of embracing my own carnivorism, my absolute lust for good meat. I feel the same about vegetables. I'm-just-a-dawg-for-food. And our lack of bone inventory stirred my inner doggy, triggering that canine mentality that there's never enough, even though there's plenty.
My dog moment aside, when you place your order for Kretsinger meat, I may write back "out of stock". Just keep in mind, there's still plenty more for you to sink your teeth into.

Several weeks ago Mikey Weiss, an electronics store owner with an overgrown blond Mohawk, was visited in his shop on the north side of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, by a couple of men in mink hats.
''These two Hasidic guys, dressed as Hasidically as you could possibly dress, came in and asked me what kind of people live in this neighborhood,'' Mr. Weiss said, adding that he told them the area was largely populated with people in their 20's and 30's, including many artists.
''They said: 'Artists! That's it!''' he recalled. ''They said, 'We want to hear about these artists we've heard are moving to our neighborhood.' They asked: 'Are they noisy? Do they cause trouble?'''
The visitors were from the community of 57,000 Satmar Hasidic Jews who live in south Williamsburg and who have in recent weeks been alarmed by talk of their neighborhood being invaded by ''artisten,'' a Yiddish word that in local parlance is used to describe non-Hasidim who live on the north side.
They had come to the store after seeing fliers around the neighborhood that had portrayed the artisten as a looming threat. One flier even included a drawing of the World Trade Center collapsing, and read, in Yiddish: ''How long did it take the Twin Towers to fall? Eight seconds. How long will it take for Williamsburg??? God Forbid.''
Although the divisions are blurry, Broadway near the Williamsburg Bridge has long been seen as the border between the neighborhood's south side, a working-class Hasidic and Hispanic enclave, and the north side, which has become known for its artists, hipsters and, increasingly, affluent professionals. But as northside rents have soared, and ritzy boutiques and nightclubs have moved in, residents seeking cheaper housing have looked southward. Meanwhile, many young Hasidic families are large and their housing needs have grown accordingly. A collision was perhaps inevitable, and it has focused on a building at 60 Broadway, right on the dividing line.
On Sunday afternoon, five young Hasidic men stood in freezing wind outside the Gretsch Building, a 10-story, 200,000-square-foot former musical instrument factory that is being converted to luxury condominiums selling for about $550 per square foot. They had just taken part in a protest, one of several that Hasidic men have staged outside the building in recent months. Across the street, on an apartment building occupied by Hasidim, a large banner read: ''The neighborhood is NOT welcoming the Gretsch Building. We need AFFORDABLE housing!''
That, the protesters say, is the main issue. Since World War II, when they immigrated from Hungary, the Williamsburg Hasidim have opened synagogues and lobbied for zoning changes to allow for more residential buildings in this formerly industrial area.
But recently, community members say, real estate agents and would-be buyers have knocked on their doors offering to buy their homes for at least double the $200 per square foot they are used to paying. Many fear that if even a few agree to that, market rates and property taxes will soar, leading to an unraveling of the community's tightly woven fabric.
''We are here since the Holocaust,'' said Moses Krausz, a tall, bespectacled man who participated in the protest. ''We opened schools. I have 15 brothers and sisters; where should we go to live?''
With Australian Jarrah wood floors and Pietra Colombina limestone fireplaces, the Gretsch will be arguably the most luxurious development the neighborhood has yet seen. But it is not the area's only upscale new condominium complex. Two blocks away, a refurbished cast-iron building, the Smith Gray, has sold lofts at more than $400 per square foot without provoking the ire of the Hasidim.
Maier Katz, a protester, said that is because the owner of that building is not Jewish, whereas at least two of the Gretsch Building's developers are.
''If it's not a Jew, it's not our business, we can't do anything,'' he said. The men around him nodded. ''If it's a Jew, we can do something.''
The Gretsch owners in question are two brothers, Martin and Edward Wydra, Orthodox Jews who are not Hasidim. But to some in the community, they are close enough. Three weeks ago, they took their protest to Martin Wydra's house in Flatbush.
Most say the main issue is real estate. But in a neighborhood where shopping streets are lined with modest rugelach bakeries and felt-hat stores, where children in matching pinafores play on the sidewalks into dusk, some fear cultural conflicts with more cosmopolitan newcomers from the north side, where vintage jeans and yoga mats are the norm.
''We may have a problem with people using musical instruments at 3 in the morning, we may have a problem with people getting drunk, we may have a problem with an individual approaching young girls about private issues,'' said Sam Brown, 45, a real estate investor from the Satmar community.
Putting it more strongly, a flier handed out last month at a protest (and reprinted in the March issue of Harper's magazine) asked the ''Master of the Universe'' to ''please remove from upon us the plague of the artists, so that we shall not drown in evil waters, and so that they shall not come to our residence to ruin it.''
Mr. Brown added that tensions around the Gretsch are also high because the person who sold the building to developers two years ago was a Satmar Hasid, a man he said has since been shunned by the community.
''We made it very clear for the seller and buyer, in all kinds of language, to explain that they should not do this because it's hurting the interests of the community,'' Mr. Brown said. ''Basically, they were ignoring our pleas.''
But Martin Wydra said that far from ignoring them, he and his partners have made many concessions to the Satmars, even offering to sell the building back to them at cost.
''We felt that because we were Jews ourselves and because there was a concern in the community, that we would give the community an opportunity to develop it themselves and we'd find another project,'' he said, adding that the community leaders ended up declining. (Mr. Brown disputed that the building was offered at cost.)
Even so, Mr. Wydra said, he tried to ease their fears. A plan to add balconies was scrapped to reduce the chance that scantily clad residents would be visible on them; tinting was added to windows on two sides for the same reason. When the Hasidim balked at an idea for an enclosed swimming pool because people in bathing suits might step out onto the sidewalk, that plan was discarded, he said, adding that a rabbi from the community gave the project his blessing.
Some say it is the Hasidim themselves who have helped drive up rents in the area by building market-rate units on the north side. ''They're saying that they want affordable housing, but they're charging extortionist rents to non-Hasidic people,'' said Mark Firth, a local restaurant owner and resident. Hasidic-owned market-rate developments are also planned for the south side, but they will include some low-income units.
A spokeswoman for the Corcoran Group, which is marketing the Gretsch Building, said that the protest had not dissuaded buyers and that 70 percent of the 130 units have sold. But the protesters standing out in the wind said they hoped their stand would discourage future developers from investing in the area.
Perhaps, they reasoned, it was not too late even for the Gretsch.
''If they can't sell them at high prices, maybe they'll have to sell them at low prices,'' Mr. Katz said. He gazed at workers perched high up on a scaffold outside the Gretsch's windows. ''Then maybe we can move in.''

This study addresses a problem of passive emitter localization based on time difference of arrivals (TDOAs) in two dimensions using three sensors. For this purpose, firstly, TDOA-based methods that have been proposed in the literature for estimating emitter location are investigated. Among these studies, a method that gives a simple but deterministic solution is determined. As the derivation of the solution is deterministic, developments are required to ensure its usability in practice. This is because, in practice, especially in an operational environment in electronic warfare, exact positions of the sensors may be unknown, and there may be error in TDOA measurements. Obviously, any errors that may be in sensor positions or in TDOA measurements adversely affect the accuracy of passive emitter localization. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the accuracy of the localization method by introducing measurement error on the TDOAs. To this end, simulations representing realistic scenarios in under various conditions are conducted. In this way, measurement error in TDOAs is considered to test, numerically, the limits of proposed localization technique for realistic scenarios. Future works considered to increase the accuracy of the method are also discussed.

A Home opener. A win. And fireworks. What else can you ask for?
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp kicked off their new season tonight with a bang. Thousands of fans packed the baseball grounds to enjoy it; more than 10,500 fans to be exact.
"Go Shrimp," said Christopher. The young fan was at the game with his dad ready to soak in all the action.
A fresh start and a new name brought excitement to the first home game of the 2017 season for the Jumbo Shrimp.
"I've been to many of the suns games and I'm like really excited to come to this one," said another young fan.
But this season is throwing fans a change-up.
"I kind of like how they changed the name…you know it just kind of to me feels like Jacksonville," said Christopher.
Whether you'd rather see shrimp on your plate than on the field, one things for sure, these fans were fired up about the start of a new baseball season.

To be honest with you all, I didn't really get into stripes until recently. And now? I can't get enough of them. While browsing Oasis for things I don't need and can't afford, I came across these adorable Breton dresses...I have fallen in love. They have a huge selection of classic Breton clothing! Wouldn't that short sleeved sweater be lovely to wear in the Fall and Spring? And, I love that grey and black of the long sleeved sweater. Stripes are so classic, they're almost a neutral staple, no? I think so! (I'd love any of these for my birthday...it's soon-ish, no? March is only a month away now!)

The University of Maryland is launching a master's degree program to instruct students on the science and regulation of medical marijuana. The new Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics will "provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to support patients and the medical cannabis industry, add to existing research in the field, and develop well-informed medical cannabis policy," according to a press release from the university.
The new degree is the first graduate program in the United States dedicated to the study of the medicinal use of cannabis. The two-year program will be based at the Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Maryland and is designed for health care practitioners, scientists, regulators, dispensary owners, and other cannabis industry professionals.
"The MS in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics is an incredibly unique program," said Dr. Leah Sera, an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science and director of the new program. "Faculty from the School of Pharmacy who lead courses for the program are experts in both basic and clinical sciences related to the study of medications, and are dedicated to making coursework both interesting and accessible to all students."

|Return to BibleIntroduction
Lesson #10
Victor M. Eskew
A. When a religious work was written by inspiration of God, it was immediately part of the canon of Scripture.
1. It was from God.
2. It was authoritative.
B. Two interesting points:
1. When men wrote by inspiration, they knew they were inspired (I Cor. 7:40; I Tim. 4:1; Rev. 3:22).
2. The writings of inspired men were recognized as Scripture in the first century (II Pet. 3:15-16).
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
a. Paul's words are contrasted with "the other scriptures."
b. In other words, Peter puts Paul's words on the same level as the other Scriptures.
C. It must also be pointed out that the inspired books were circulated among the churches almost immediately after they were written.
1. Peter knew about Paul's writings and even described them as containing things hard to be understood (II Pet. 3:16).
2. Paul told the church at Colossae to have his letter read to the church at Laodicea (Col. 4:16).
3. The apocalypse of John was to be sent to the seven churches of Asia (Rev. 1:11).
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, what thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches of Asia…
4. Thus, during the first century, the churches slowly collected various inspired books for their church libraries.
D. The end of inspired revelation:
1. All agree that John was the last apostle to die. The last book that he wrote was the book of Revelation.
a. Some date the book at 96 A.D.
b. Some believe that the date of Revelation was in the late 60s before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
2. There is debate as to which gospel was written first, Matthew? Or, Mark? It is believed that the earliest gospel was written in the early to mid 50s.
3. Thus, the period of revelation was from:
a. A.D. 50 to A.D. 68 (18 years)
b. A.D. 50 to A.D. 96 (46 years)
E. The problem
1. The first century church did not have an association or conference to govern it.
a. The churches were all autonomous, or, self-governing.
b. So, there was no single authority commissioned to collect all of the inspired books.
2. The printing press and digital medial did not exist to make the production of the inspired books easy to make and distribute.
3. Other religious works that were not inspired were circulated among the churches (See Luke 1:1).
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of these things which are most surely believed among us.
A. Because of the type of books being revealed. They were inspired and prophetic.
B. Because of the needs of the early church.
1. The gifts of the Holy Spirit were to cease (I Cor. 13:10).
2. The written Word of God was to be revealed in its completeness (John 16:13; Jude 3).
3. The churches would need the complete, written revelation from God.
C. Because heresy was developing in the church (Acts 20:29-30).
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
D. Because persecution against the church was vicious. The opposition wanted to destroy both Christians and the Scriptures (Gal 1:13).
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.
A. Was the book written by an apostle?
1. Jesus had promised the apostles that the Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth (John 16:12-13).
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
2. NOTE: Numerous books contain the name of the author.
a. Paul's epistles
b. Peter's letters
c. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ
B. Was it written by a prophet?
1. Some men were not apostles, but they were prophets in the church.
2. Matthew's gospel and John's gospel were accepted first because they were penned by apostles.
3. Mark was close to Peter and Luke was a companion of Paul. Both were prophets. Thus, their gospels were quickly accepted.
C. Does the book harmonize with all truth?
1. Scripture does not contradict Scripture.
2. If a book disagreed with other inspired books, it "would certainly regulate the book to non-canonical status" (A General Introduction to the Bible, Giesler and Nix, p. 141).
D. Was the book circulated and received by the churches as authoritative?
1. The churches knew that inspired writings existed and circulated them among the churches.
2. Did the people of God accept the book as Scripture? This was often determined by whether a book was read in the public assembly.
3. This would involve the consensus of many congregations of the Lord's church.
4. The quotations of the "church fathers" become important under this heading.
a. The "church fathers" were leaders of the church, preachers and elders, who wrote about spiritual things from the late first century to the fourth century.
b. "A sample survey will suffice to show that by the middle of the second century (150 A.D.) every book of the New Testament was referred to, presumably as canonical, by at least one of the church fathers" (A General Introduction to the Bible, Giesler & Nix, p. 186).
E. Chart: The New Testament Canon During the First Four Centuries (A General Introduction to the Bible, Geisler & Nix, p. 193).
A. Of the twenty-seven canonical books of the New Testament, only seven were more difficult to be recognized.
B. A list of the antilegomena:
1. Hebrews: This book was questioned because its anonymity.
2. James
a. Some questioned the authorship.
b. Some thought that it conflicted with Paul's writings.
3. II Peter: It was doubted for a while because it was not similar in style with I Peter.
4. II John: This epistle was of a private nature and had little circulation.
5. III John: This epistle was of a private nature and had little circulation.
6. Jude: This book was disputed because of its reference to the pseudepigraphal Book of Enoch (Jude 14-15).
7. Revelation: The book was questioned because of it references to the thousand years in Revelation 20:1-6.
C. Important points:
1. All of the books were quoted by the middle of the second century.
2. Anonymous authorship, differences in style, difficult teachings, and little circulation were their main problems.
3. By the end of the second century, these books were included in several canonical lists.
A. As the New Testament books were written, they were recognized as Scripture.
B. The early churches were aware that certain books were inspired of God.
C. All the books of the New Testament were quoted by the church fathers by the mid-second century (150 A.D.). Thus, they were all known.
D. By the end of the second century, the twenty-seven books of the New Testament were recognized by most as canonical

My 1 year old has always been small but at her 1 year check up she fell off the weight curve. The Dr. Said not to panic yet but I don't know what to do, I don't want to force her to eat or feed her empty calories and we always have things on hand to give her but I'm still concerned she is not putting on weight. Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated.

text: We arrived to the beautiful island of Willemstad, Curaçao and it was the most fun I've had on my trip. As we arrived we had to time to walk some of the shopping stores. It was New Year's Eve so most of the shops closed early around 2:00 pm, therefore, we only got to window shop. We took a short bus ride to Cabana Beach Resort where we got to hang out by the beach, eat a delicious shrimp lunch and shop. After lunch, we headed over to our ATV's with the group and began our adventure (booked with Scooby Tours they were awesome). Who would think running over… View Post


text: Robot Readable World is an interesting video made from recorded footage of computer vision sytems. Despite the fact these 'behind the scenes' images are actually generated for the benefit of the humans programming and debugging such systems, as computers don't really 'see', I still find them somewhat creepy. To me, all look like Terminator-vision. (via Boing Boing)

Word families are groups of words that share the same ending pattern, such as "hat", "mat", and "cat". Words in a family will always rhyme; however, not all rhyming words belong to the same word family. "Hair" and "care" both rhyme, but come from different families.
Children will need to learn to recognize the "chunks" that make up many different word patterns. For example, in the words "shake", "take", and "make", kids will learn to recognize the "ake" as a whole chunk, instead of needing to sound out the letters individually.
In kindergarten, children learned the alphabet and how to sound out words letter by letter. In first grade, they learn to see word sounds in chunks and patterned groups, so they recognize parts of the word faster and can read more fluently. In second grade, children will tackle some of the harder families of words, and the easier ones will become automatic.
Some children may have trouble perceiving or remembering word patterns and insist on sounding out every letter, every time. Others may confuse similar patterns, such as -air and -are, especially if these are taught too close together.
One common problem when moving beyond the simple decoding of words is that often there are several words in a word family that are rarely used, and children may not know what they mean. This is especially true for language learners. To learn the "-ark" family, for example, kids are taught the words: mark, bark, dark, spark, shark, lark. "Lark" is rare even for most adults (unless they are bird watchers, or enjoy cavorting on a mountaintop) and when words are meaningless to kids, learning is less secure.
Remember--every child learns differently. Doing word family activities and playing word family games are a great way to involve kids' whole bodies to reach kids of many different learning styles, and help struggling learners.
But don't put all your eggs in one basket; spend time on other reading strategies as well, and you will be likely to find the thing that most helps your child read.

I noticed that if you have a 3rd-party Twitter app, you get an access token, and an access token secret, to communicate with Twitter.
Why are there two codes? Shouldn't one be enough?
Does this mean every 3rd-party app needs to have their own server that adds the token secret to the request? (Because if it were stored in the app itself, it could be decompiled and the secret revealed?)

text: Takumi raised a brow when Eira mentioned being embarrassed, though he also had a grin appear on his face. He was beginning to understand why ones such as Eira and Izuna would have such teasing natures; it was an interesting reaction to see. "But your face looks so amazing when you're like this," he said as a hand rose to her cheek. He spoke nothing but the truth. Seeing Eira's face challenging her hair and eyes for their very dominant shades of red was appealing in a way he couldn't even describe. With this, and the simple act of Eira speaking his name in that soft manner he'd become so fond of, he could do nothing but lean forward to kiss her again. He would simultaneously return to having his hands explore Eira's body beneath the water. The quality of the physical closeness between them this time around didn't seem to only have an effect on Eira. Takumi himself was more content to be like this than he was to be in the bath as a whole.

28 July (Part 2) - If you ever doubted Bexley council is up to no good…
What would I do without loyal readers? Yesterday, short of time as ever, I invited readers to play Spot the Difference between the March and May Splash Park reports.
When Teresa O'Neill gets to know that the original report is now public alongside councillor Craske's version her face may once again look as it did whilst listening to councillor Slaughter speaking about Old Farm Park. (See Photo, it's a new one.)
I heard councillor Sawyer say in early May he had not seen the report, he was waiting for council officers to ensure it would answer all his questions. I am not at all sure that was the real reason and you may not either if you compare the two now available.
• Fairly inconsequential is that one mentions the number of children using the park, the later one doesn't. Similarly one says no one knows the design capacity of the park, the other says the numbers were well beyond design capacity.
• Getting more controversial, the original report covers the risk of human soiling (nappies), the council version pulls Cryptosporidium out of the hat.
• Where the consultant's report doesn't mention maintenance as much as the council would like, the council makes sure it does.
• The real report refers to the poor workmanship of the replacement rubber surface installed in 2012 under the Conservative administration. It is edited out of the final version.
• The consultant says the filters may possibly be not very good at removing Cryptosporidium and Bexley council step that up to claiming that even replacement filters will not eradicate the problem introducing the word Cryptosporidium twice where it wasn't present before.
• The March report "understood" there was not a single case of a bad test result being returned but Peter Crsake's version on the web says "these results often showed levels of bacteria in between cleaning regimes that gave rise to concerns and prompted further investigation".
• The original conclusion said nothing about further investigations being necessary, the council version does. It also devotes a large section to Cryptosporidium although the consultant had not seen fit to mention it at all.
• Where the consultant offers remedies the council drones on about breeding grounds for bacteria.
• The consultant offers a solution but Bexley council prefers to say "human soiling cannot be prevented".
• The March report says that with attention to appropriate measures the park can continue. The council's report emphasises "maintenance on an ongoing basis". It also considerably beefs up the problems with a mains fed solution.
There is absolutely nothing in the report to suggest that council officers were ensuring that any question councillor Sawyer might have asked would be answered, it is perfectly obvious that they were enlarging the highlighted problems to ensure Bexley council could claim the problems were largely insurmountable.
The original report mentioned Cryptosporidium four times and only as a possibility, Bexley council mentions it twelve times and says that even improved filters may not eradicate it.
It is not hard to conclude that Bexley council has embellished the report to satisfy their own requirement and, put simply, they are crooks.
Here; see what you think. Green text is comment by the BIB reader who prepared the PDF comparison.

Equatorial Guinea's (Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial) efforts to improve education have been successful and recognized by UNESCO with recent data that ranked it as the highest adult literacy country in Sub-Saharan Africa, reaching 93% of the population.
The Ministry for Social Affairs and Promotion of Women celebrated the International Literacy Day, established by UNESCO in 1967, to promote culture and education as the main foundations of society and its development. This is a part of a broader effort by the government to improve public education for its citizens.
In Equatorial Guinea, as in many other African countries, the International Literacy Day has been dedicated to improve the literacy of women, with the theme "Literacy and Empowerment of Women." The objective is to fight against the marginalization of women and to achieve a better social and economic future for all the country's citizens.
According to data released this week by various organizations, illiteracy was estimated at 23% of the world's population, compared to 45% in the 1950s. However, by 2010 it is estimated that the illiterate population in the world be more than 850 million people, including 500 million women. Today there are over a hundred million children not attending the school.
The International Literacy Day reminded Equatoguineans that literacy is indispensable for development and health, democratic participation, communication and access to information, and to be able to express and claim their rights.
As part of the government's efforts to promote culture and literacy, the National Library of Equatorial Guinea is sponsoring a national literary contest, the Obiang Nguema Mbasogo Literary Award, in which all Equatorial Guinean citizens, both students and adults can participate. The annual contest is aimed at promoting culture and raising the level of literacy in the society.

OMGOMGOMG — a new burger joint is coming to Great Falls — the Roadhouse Diner!
Looks like they plan to open on June 1st in the "log-cabin" building on 15th Street North, which used to be Goode's (Pam's Friendly Diner, etc).
They've got a website and a Facebook page, and promise some treats for folks who register via email:
"Join today and you'll receive exclusive offers, a birthday freebie as well as a rewards card that gets you a free burger after 10 visits. Decent! And just for signing up, we'll email you a coupon offer to boot."
Also in the works: "Coming soon for cheese fries aficionados – an exclusive club that gathers once a month to try out new cheese fry recipes. Join the Roadie Rewards program for information!"
Looks like their motto/slogan is "Respect The Beef" — I can dig it.
Can't wait to try it out!

In this brief, we analyze the trends that will drive the demand and supply for multifamily and single-family housing over the next 10 years.
In recent years, the demand for multifamily housing relative to single-family housing has peaked, as younger Millennials opt to rent in densely populated cities. As downsizing Boomers transition to these properties, the market for multifamily homes will continue to intensify—a significant future trend given the size of this cohort. Among older Millennials starting families, single-family housing will continue to remain strong.
The decline in female labor force participation isn't solely attributed to motherhood—but the reasons why women are leaving the workforce differ for married and unmarried women, with and without children.

Stereotyped as clueless, brainy, and self-obsessed, Millennials are by no means homogenous. But in terms of economic opportunity, they are trailing other generations.

I've been researching methods of waterproofing the walls of my 1955 basement. The foundation is poured. The only places of water entry are the tie points for the forms and a crack here and there. Grading problems for the last fifty years has caused some efflouressence and in the worst cases, small voids near the bottom edge of the wall. The previous homeowner has applied what could be regular paint or some of the waterproofing products available.
Q1: Does the cementitious type of waterproofing product work for keeping negative hydrostatic water from getting into the interior space?
Q2: On the areas that are painted, what is a good stripper for what's already on the walls? If it is the product described in Q1 should I just leave it alone? I don't know if a stripper will get that off except by sandblasting which is a remote option.
Q3: How effective is covering the walls with rigid foam board? Can I just use that in place of using a waterproofing product thereby saving a TON of labor.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. I would love to get this as a project show.
