Growing Colorado Kids Growing Colorado kids 30141 East 128th Ave. Commerce City, Colorado 80022 Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: www.growingcolorado.org Our Mission: To reduce hunger, improve nutrition, and provide experiential learning opportunities for refugee youth through organic farming. Our Purpose: Growing Colorado Kids is a place of safety for refugee youth where their strength, knowledge, and confidence grows through hands-on learning, community service, and educational programming. By collaborating with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, youth achieve challenging farm projects that build confidence and community. Our History: Growing Colorado Kids was founded in 2008 by Chris and Denise Lines to address the hunger faced by many refugee youth in Metro Denver. At first, the program utilized inner-city garden plots to grow food for refugee families. Hosts provided water and land and in turn received a portion of the harvest. In 2013, Growing Colorado Kids moved to a 5-acre farm in Commerce City. With the addition of farm animals and a colony of bees, refugee youth are afforded time away from the challenges of city and family life and the enjoyment of fresh air, nutritious fresh food, animals to study and know, and the opportunity to gain invaluable scholastic and life skills. Why Growing Colorado Kids? Refugees are forced to flee their homes and countries because of persecution, war, and violence. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that there were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 51% of whom were children under the age of 18. Colorado happens to be a major state for refugee resettlement with upwards of 2,400 refugees resettled every year, according to the Colorado Department of Human Services. The majority of these refugees find homes in Denver where life is very different from what they have ever known. That is why Growing Colorado Kids exists; to provide refugee youth a community of support where they gain a sense of belonging and vital skills needed to navigate life in the United States. All of the youth participants qualify for free and reduced lunch, so in addition to developing leadership, teamwork, and scholastic abilities, they are provided with substantial amounts of produce to feed their families. Our Values: Leadership: We support youth in undertaking leadership roles within the organization to foster accountability and build confidence. Teamwork: By collaborating with staff and volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, our youth achieve challenging farm projects that develop vital communication skills and reinforce the importance of cooperation and working together. Community Building: Staff, volunteers, and youth build supportive relationships to enhance our community and increase individual well-being. Nutrition: We provide youth and their families with healthy fresh produce and teach youth the building blocks of balanced dietary habits. Natural Growing: We practice environmentally sound growing principles. Public Service: We give back to our community by donating fresh produce to partner nonprofit organizations. Here is what nine-year-old EhKu Moo had to say about Growing Colorado Kids, "You make me happy every day. Because of you, I know I can do anything. You changed my life forever!" Grow with us! It is our hope you will become engaged with Growing Colorado Kids and our efforts to make a difference in the lives of refugee youth.

I spent the whole past week and a half or so converting my WAB El Cid Christian Mercenary army to Impetus (very happy with the new look) my game of choice for Dark Age/Medieval wargaming. Also I can use this arrangement for Hail Caesar another game that has captured my attention and can count these as standard base size for that system which is convenient. The impression I'm trying to give is one of the army riding across an open Savannah which I think Impetus basing helps to convey and that I hopefully succeeded in doing.
A quick re-cap behind the army concept. It 's a Christian Mercenary army with a heavy Moorish influence that finds itself employed by Muslim Taifa Kings ,but more often then not in the employ of the Christian kingdom of Aragon between the years 1090(King Pedro) and 1135(Alfonso I) covering both El Cid's period and the early Reconquista under Alfonso I "The battler".
The army so far gives me a hefty 300pts in cavalry which is substantial in 28mm. but not unusual for Christian Spanish armies of the period. With that in mind I figure that's plenty cavalry for now and I should probably add some foot slogging support. I think about 100pts or so of heavy infantry, formed missile support and some skirmishers are in order to give me a solid base for my army.
As far the pics go no scenic colour background on this one, but I'll have some at later date. One thing that has ticked me off is the new photo bucket which IMHO is not at all as good as the old one and getting a decent picture is much harder to do then before. Also, if you make any size corrections it sets it all the way back to the start! As it stands my own computer is just as good or better then photo bucket which wasn't the case at all before. Please photo bucket go back to the previous set up!!!! Currently I pretty much do all the photo work on my own computer and use photo bucket merely to distribute pictures.
My foreseeable future looks to be Samurai, ACW, Spanish Reconquista dominating with some AWI and SCW here and there.
Thanks for viewing!:-)

UH reaches five-year deal with Kelvin Sampson
The Houston Cougars are turning to a familiar name to restore their once proud men's basketball program.
Kelvin Sampson, who has spent the past three seasons as a top assistant coach with the Rockets, has agreed to what sources say is a five-year contract to become UH's new coach.
Sampson, 58, returns to the college ranks for the first time since 2008, when he received a five-year show-cause penalty — the harshest the NCAA can levy against an individual — for repeated violations involving impermissible and excessive telephone calls and text messages to recruits who landed his last two schools, Oklahoma and Indiana, on probation.
UH vice president for intercollegiate athletics Mack Rhoades said he spoke to former employers and co-workers of Sampson during the hiring process, as well as current and former NCAA officials.
"Those reviews were extremely encouraging," Rhoades said, "and in multiple meetings with Kelvin, he was candid and completely transparent about his mistakes in the past.
"Coach Sampson is committed to leading a first-class program in all areas and is excited to return to the college game."
Sampson, who was in Toronto with the Rockets on Wednesday night, will be introduced as UH's ninth head basketball coach at a 3 p.m. Thursday news conference at Hofheinz Pavilion and will begin his new job immediately.
"Kelvin did a good job here," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "He's had success wherever he's been. He's got a great recruiting base in Houston. I think that's the key thing. He gets some Houston kids to stay home, and the Cougars are filling up arenas and enjoying basketball again."
A postseason regular
The Cougars were in search of a proven winner and big-splash hire to reinvigorate a program that hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game in 30 years — since the heyday of Phi Slama Jama — and has experienced a steep decline in attendance in recent years at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Former coach James Dickey stepped down March 24, citing a "personal family matter" after posting a 64-62 record in four seasons, and Sampson quickly surfaced as a leading candidate.
Sampson has a track record of success. He led Oklahoma to the NCAA Tournament in 11 of his 12 seasons in Norman, including the Final Four in 2002 and Elite Eight in 2003. He had a string of 18 consecutive winning seasons among Washington State, Oklahoma and Indiana from 1990-2008.
Indiana hired Sampson in 2006 despite knowing he was facing an NCAA inquiry into 577 impermissible phone calls made between 2000 and 2004 at Oklahoma. A self-review by Indiana led to further allegations that Sampson made more than 100 impermissible calls while with the Hoosiers — all while under recruiting restrictions resulting from his OU tenure.
An NCAA report in February 2008 charged Sampson with five major violations and eventually led to a buyout agreement and his departure from Indiana before the end of his second season.
Owns up to 'mistake'
The NCAA passed legislation a few years ago that no longer puts restrictions on phone calls or text messages to recruits.
"I made a mistake," Sampson told the Daily Oklahoman in 2012. "There's a lot I'd like to say ... I always felt that was a rule, most coaches did what they had to do. But I made a mistake. I have to take full responsibility."
The show-cause penalty made it difficult, if not impossible, for a school to hire Sampson for five years. The penalty expired last November, allowing Sampson to revisit a return to the collegiate level.
Sampson spent three seasons as an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks and was named McHale's top assistant — after previously interviewing for the Rockets' head coaching job — in 2011. He has interviewed for several NBA coaching jobs and served as interim coach for the Rockets when McHale took a leave of absence for family reasons last season.
At the time of Dickey's departure, Rhoades said the next coach would inherit a "very attractive opportunity."
Sampson will start with a stocked roster that includes TaShawn Thomas, Danuel House, Danrad "Chicken" Knowles and L.J. Rose. UH went 17-16 this season, highlighted by upsets over ranked opponents Connecticut, Memphis and SMU.
UH also plans to break ground in May on a new practice facility for its men's and women's programs, and upgrades are being discussed for Hofheinz Pavilion.
Among Sampson's first expected hires to his coaching staff is his son, Kellen, who spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Appalachian State.Thursday's news conference is open to the public.
The Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

A second home in WaterColor, Florida, lives up to the city's name

- 1 of 10
Ohioans Jacqueline and Robb Brown spend numerous weeks every year at their second home in WaterColor, Florida, along the Gulf Coast. "We had never seen anything like WaterColor. People walk and ride bikes. It's very kid-friendly, so our two daughters [Brennan and Devan, now 17 and 20] could do their own thing," says Robb. "And there are no nicer beaches anywhere!"
The porch of their new home is a favorite place to watch sunsets and chat by the fire.

As they were about to finish building a new home there—a contemporary take on the classic Charleston single house style—Robb noticed a swinging daybed on a neighbor's sleeping porch and asked the home's designer about it. That designer was Georgia Carlee, who had recently opened her own firm in Santa Rosa Beach. The Browns eventually hired Carlee to decorate their home.
With its casual eating area and cozy seating focused on a brick-clad outdoor fireplace, this gracious outdoor room introduces good things to come. Four sets of French doors link the outdoors to a contemporary interior with an open floor plan grounded by traditional architectural elements.

Carlee responded to Jacqueline's request for a light palette with interiors that echo the hues of water and sand. "I like details, but I don't like fussiness," Carlee says. Textured linens and natural cottons are warmed and grounded by a sea-grass rug and wooden surfaces. "I also like to establish balance in a room," explains the designer. "Everything in the living room was rectangular, so I chose a sofa with a curved back and a round table to add softness and counter the straight lines."
That is Carlee's cocker spaniel, Hannah, relaxing in the armchair.

The dining room commands a sunny alcove, open and accessible to the kitchen, yet slightly removed for a hint of formality. For continuity, Carlee repeated the window treatment from the living room—a floor-to-ceiling tri-panel design in tan, light blue, and ivory. Shells mounted in shadow boxes adorn the wall. The locally crafted table is illuminated by a barrel chandelier that accentuates the room's 14-foot-high ceiling.

text: Jessica Backhaus's vibrant color photographs endow negligible objects—the yellow pages sitting in a pile of snow (Small Wonder, 2008), a water bottle floating in a puddle (Bottle, 2006)—with gravitas. The images, which are never staged, stem from her curiosity about things that get left behind in the frenzy of contemporary consumer culture. "How do things get to where they are?" she asks. Her works focus on quiet moments or unexpected visual passages, such as the reflection of a venerable tree on a rain-soaked tennis court, rather than the literal depiction of her subjects. Backhaus's first book, Jesus and the Cherries (2005), vividly captured the simplicities of life in a small Polish town; her typically de-populated scenes contain enough narrative clues—a handprint on a kitchen window, for instance—to pique viewers' curiosity about an underlying story.

Note: At present the dating of the catastrophic flood event is set to 6400 BC.
However, we maintain the opinion that 5500 BC is the correct date, since in the event
of a catastrophic flood old sedimentary layers are dispursed and thus make the average
sedimentary layer seem to be older on average, while as a matter of fact single
freshwater specimens are still dated at 5500 BC until today.

I've seen a number of comments across the web Perl's smart-match operator is broken. I know it originally was part of Perl 6, then was implemented in Perl 5.10 off of an old version of the spec, and was then corrected in 5.10.1 to match the current Perl 6 spec.
Is the problem fixed in 5.10.1+, or are there other problems with the smart-match operator that make it troublesome in practice?
What are the problems?
Is there a yet-more-updated version (Perl 6, perhaps) that fixes the problems?
Edit: To clarify, I'm not asking about bugs, but rather the opinion that the intended behavior of
~~ is bad.
