County Administrator Pete Rose Resigns
County Administrator Rose never had a shortage of work on his desk
Tuesday, May 1 2012 -
The San Juan County Council announced today that Administrator Pete Rose has resigned his position, effective June 8, to become city administrator of Lake Forest Park in King County.
In a brief written statement delivered to the council during an executive session this morning, Rose said, "I appreciate the opportunity given to me to serve the County Council and the people of San Juan County. My time with San Juan County has been a continuous learning experience. I hope that I have left this organization a better place."
"Pete has been a great asset to this County and we all wish him great success in his new position," said County Council Chair Patty Miller.
Rose began work as San Juan County's Administrator in July of 2006. He was the first permanent County Administrator hired after the adoption of the County's home rule charter in November of 2005. His first task was to support the transition of the County Government from a three-person elected commission to a government with a professional administrator and a 6-member policymaking council.
One of his earliest initiatives was equipping a County Council hearing room as a "smart room" which has enabled the Council to stream its meetings live on the Internet, and conduct meetings by video conference. "That, he said, "has made it possible for many more people to attend our council meetings than in counties many times our size."
Rose has worked through difficult economic times for the County. In order to keep the County's budget in balance, he initiated cuts which reduced its workforce by 15% between 2007 and 2011. He credits the financial sacrifices made by all County employees and the willingness of the employee union and guild to negotiate budget reduction measures. Unpaid furloughs and adjustments to benefits and wages enabled the County to keep essential services intact. "They deserve our gratitude," he said.
Soon after arriving, Rose established weekly department-head meetings and set a standard for the quality of staff reports from administrative departments to the Council, and made the reports easily available to the public.
To help sort out the complex budgeting process, he designed an annual county budget book which presents budget proposals in an understandable format, rather than previous "240 pages of greenbar computer printouts." In 2011, he added comprehensive quarterly financial reports to the council, which has helped it react quickly to recent, unanticipated drops in revenue.
Rose also cites his pride with improvements in transparency through providing information on the county's website. During his administration, thousands of public documents have been made accessible in searchable online archives, and hundreds of staff hours formerly spent answering public inquiries have been saved by posting information such as detailed property profiles from the Assessor's office, individual tax statements from the Treasurers' office, announcements of jury duty cancellations by the district court, the County's meeting calendar, council agendas with downloadable staff reports, and the daily schedules of building inspectors.
During his term, despite budget difficulties and staff cutbacks, the County has taken major steps toward becoming compliant with the State's Growth Management Act.
But the Administrator admits that he's hardly ready to take a victory lap. "This County government continues to face tough challenges. Perhaps the toughest being the need to find sources of revenue that will fund the essential functions of its government at a sustainable level."
Miller indicated that the Council would begin the process of seeking a successor immediately.

King Hussein's car collection at the Royal Automobile Museum
King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan ruled the country for more than 46 years, until 1999. He took four wives, not simultaneously, and changed his will in his dying days to make his eldest son Abdullah the heir apparent. The King was also a certified car nut like us. His collection at the Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, Jordan is rivaled by few -- the Sultan of Brunei, Jay Leno and Ralph Lauren come to mind.
Here's a selection photos showing some of the amazing motor vehicles stashed there. We'll have more coming soon.

i am very very impressed with this new unit..i have 5 other C3 tools and have been waiting for a stronger impact than the 1/4" one that has been out. today i brought it to the junkyard , removed 2 wheels with it then took the huge strut bolts out and the a arm bolts out on a mustang. those of you that have done this know they require alot of power. this was all done on a Lithium battery witch i might consider a must with this 1/2" gun
buy and you will no regret! it is about time!
After seeing a review of someone removing lug nuts off of a full size pickup, I decided to purchase one for myself. I tried removing the lug nuts off of my small import car and it wouldn't remove one of them. I still use it for nuts and bolts instead of a 3/8 ratchet. It will remove those quickly but it isn't for the hard to remove nuts and bolts.

My husband was having a hard time with the repairs on our Honda Accord. He was getting so frustrated. Yesterday he picked up the 17090 at Sears Northridge. This morning, with the help of this impact wrench, he was able to finish replacing the front brake rotors and repairing the power steering pump, all in less than 3 hrs. He was all smiles.

I am pleased with the purchase of the C3-19.2 1/2in Impact driver! I have had to use this tool a couple of times removing lug-nuts, and aside from needing maybe a slight improvement on the delivery of the power, maybe trying one of the Lithium batteries, the impact driver did NOT let me down!! Even on removing lugs that were installed with a pneumatic wrench!

I was holding out on buying this impact wrench for about 2 years. not because of money, but because i was worried about its performance and the other reviews people had. I finally bought it after two years of just waiting and thinking. Boy i tell you. It really is a **** good impact wrench. It does what it says and its perfect. I used it with my craftsman deep impact socket on my Honda Accord and it zips the lug nut right off. I did many test on my car with this impact wrench and it works great. It works just as good as a Snap On impact wrench. Overall its a **** good impact wrench. People with bad reviews is just hating or they got a bad messed up impact wrench. I recommend it. If you was like me and was thinking and waiting to buy this. Trust me. Go ahead. Its worth it.

Took 5 secs to remove nuts torqued to 120 ft-lbs on my camper. I'm sure it could do more but that's all I need it for. Well built and glad I have an impact wrench now.

I'm a professional mechanic and use this tool a lot for removing lugs. It works great. I read some reviews stating that this tool would not do this but I have removed lugs torqued to 125 ft lb many times. Perhaps there lugs were over tightened or they may have gotten a defective tool but mine works perfect. It does drain a battery quickly so I would recomend buying extra batterys to be able to swap out when they get weak. Also, NEVER tighten your lug nuts with this tool (or any other impact tool) without using the proper touque stick. Torque sticks limit the amount of torque applied to a lug nut allowing for proper torque. Overtighting your lugs can cause damage to your wheel hubs and warp your brake rotors.

I purchased this impact driver about a week ago. Today I decided to rotate the tires on my wife's car. It not only broke the lugs free but after changing the tires it tightened them very well. I know because I went over them with my breaker bar and none of them could be tightened any further. I also own a pneumatic impact wrench and in my opinion this cordless impact wrench (#17090) is just as impressive. By the way I also used my new 19.2v XCP high capacity lithium-ion battery. I don't know if that made a difference but what a combo.

I used this wrench as soon as it arrived to take off 2 wheels with snow tires that had been driven thru alot of snow without hubcaps protecting the lugs. I had put these wheels on a couple of weeks before, with a large 4-way lug wrench, and tightened them as tight as I could get them. This cordless wrench loosened every lug nut on its own. I think this is a great wrench! I also tightened the standard wheels with it, then used the lug wrench to see if they were tight and they were. I did use a fully charged ion battery with it.

seen this being used in a youtube vid, sure enough, unzipped a 160ft/lb hub nut bolt with no problems at all. makes changing a tire a breeze. compact, lightweight. wow, very impressed

Series: Excerpts from "Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design"
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career, Part 1
In particular, I was interested in pursuing a career in paleontology or ecology, and I became even more convinced in college, that I had to make a profound choice – either I chose a career in science and reject YEC claims that had no basis in reality, or I would have to abandon a science career all together.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
Evolution and Creationism in America's Biology Classrooms
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Augustine of Hippo and Two Books Theology, Part 2
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Southern Baptist Voices: And in Conclusion . . .
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
What I Would Like To Hear A Young-Earth Creationist Say
It may come as a surprise that when asked by The Colossian Forum what one thing he would like to hear Young Earth Creationists say, his answer had nothing to do with scientific statements at all. Rather, his hope is to hear a single simple phrase: "We're both part of the same family."
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Series: Pre-Modern Readings on Genesis 1
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.

- Also Known As:
- Premier Inn Tamworth South England
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Premier Inn Tamworth South. The UK's fist greenest hotel bringing together the best environmental initiatives to help us towards a greener future. With our 20 ensuite bedrooms, flat screen free view TVs, adjoining restaurant (The Centurion Table Table), Air-cooling and 24hr reception.We are one of a very select few that is a Green Hotel. Here is why we are Green.1)We heat and cool the hotel using the earth's natural energy using a special underground pump. Four heat probes, 130 metres below our hotel, take advantage of the earths natural energy to dump heat in the summer and cold in the winter.2) Re-using water. All toilet flushes use grey (recycled) water - water re-used from showers and baths plus 50% of rainwater from the roof. This provides 100% off all toilet water and will save 20% of the entire water usage.3) Sustainable wool from British sheep is used in the walls creating exceptionally efficient thermal and acoustic insulation. Heat loss of the hotel is reduced by 60%4) Solar power. Solar panels have been used on the hotel's south facing roof. They can produce hot water to the system with almost no energy used. The system is expected to generate 11.740kWhr per year - enough for 1000 baths a year!5) All lighting is low energy thanks to LED's that produce high light levels while only using 5 Watts per bulb, this coupled with motion detectors means the lights are not left on. An 80% saving against standard lighting methods.6) All materials used are locally and sustainable sources. Timber is used rather than concrete where possible and when concrete is used it is a low cement that has been locally sourced. Our use of carbon has been reduced by using natural resources, sustainable materials, such as external timber cladding, and recycled materials, such as plasterboard and rendering. ... more less

Being paraniod about homosexuality and always looking to uncover it. Reading into every little thing in an effort to prove that something is gay while ignoring anything that may contradict this belief.

The annual observance of Disarmament Week, which begins on the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, was called for in the Final Document of the General Assembly 1978 special session on disarmament (resolution S-10/2). States were invited to highlight the danger of the arms race, propagate the need for its cessation and increase public understanding of the urgent tasks of disarmament.
In 1995, the General Assembly invited governments, as well as NGOs, to continue taking an active part in Disarmament Week (resolution 50/72 B, 12 December 1995). It invited the Secretary-General to continue using United Nations information entities as widely as possible, to promote a better understanding among the public of disarmament problems, and the aims of the Week.

hmmm Intrest is there...
So as the title suggests, the RPG would be a Pokemon one. Entirely new region I have crafted myself from the actual Cities/Towns to the Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
To explain the "Mature version" part, basically as long as the content is not overly gruesome or sexual, pretty much anything can fly. In a way, look at it as if Pokemon were more realistic. Villains could be allowed to be more menacing and the Pokemon themselves can as well. So if you approach a wild Pokemon that is known for being aggressive? Feel free to make an intense fight scene occur where like a Nidoking literally has its horn stab into a Charmander's stomach for example.
Again, the aim is not to be bloody and gruesome, but to not have this be some kiddy and campy thing like the show is known for being. That said, though, feel free to do kiddy and campy stuff if that is what you prefer.
For detailed information about the RPG, please check the following link which will bring you to the Advanced Interest Check section for RPing. It has bios for established characters, cities, as well as the rules and information on how things like TMs would work, and what classes you can play, etc.

Canon iX6520 Business Printer(inkjet)
By keeneyeguy

About Me Frequent User
Comments about Canon� PIXMA� IX6520 Inkjet Printer:
Cannot comment on ink usage yet. Just got printer.But am very impressed with performance, printquality, speed, ease of use, easy set-up and compact footprint for printer that can print up to13 X 19 photos. Also enjoyed one day delivery.Printer was well packed and in pristine conditionon arrival. Rated 4 stars since I don't know about ink usage yet.
Great printer
By gmcous
from Slidell,La
Purchased as a floor model, so I got a great deal on this printer.Ink cartridges are reasonably priced. It also holds up to 11 X 17 paper.This makes it great as an office printer.Its speed is reasonably fast also.I would recommend this printer to anyone with a small business.
A good value for the discerning buyer
By Bill the PC guy.
from Rochester, NY
Lightweight but sturdy printer. There is no paper manual but a quick setup guide will get you going in short order. A complete manual can be found ont the enclosed CD and on the CANON web site. It's important to check the CANON web site to get the latest drivers. I anticipated a problem with 64 bit Windows 7 but that didn't happen. When I installed the driver the printer responded and I got a good copy right away. I had downloaded a form that was smaller than I wanted but my word processor scaled it to my liking and the printer did a nice job even with the yellow areas of the form. I also wanted to download a coupon with a bar code. There seemed to be no problem with that either. Some had complained that the printer was loud. I didn't find that to be an issue, perhaps my printer experience with other printers made me expect more noise than what this one creates. This printer seems to do it all very well for me. I have not tried printing photos as this function is not high on my priority list. I was looking for a dedicated printer, not an all-in-one, and find that this one does the job at a great price.
Great Printer for the Price
By EBEE
from Waynesville, MO
Great Printer for the Price. Received it on Sale and Free Shipping. It's a large format printer and great for the 13X19 prints without spending a fortune.
A great printer at a great price.
By Ray
from VA
I am a professional photographer who orders most prints from a pro lab. I was using an Epson printer and the ink became too costly and they were putting less in the cartridges. It was an expensive machine and this one is much cheaper to operate.
"I would by this printer again'
By tommit
from Cleveland, OH
Setup was straight forward and seamless. It is a very adequate 11 X 17 format printer. One downside, it will not do duplex printing. I would recommend it to others.
Love it

I've only had it for about a month, but so far so good. Excellent color.
Great no frills wide format printer
By fsgreen

5 individual cartridges with a ultra fine print head technology produces great looking documents and photos. Too bad it isn't WIFI but its really no big deal to use a wire.
Excellent Buy
By Rufous
from SoCal
I've replaced all my hp printers with Canons over the last couple years. The Canons I'm buying are built in Vietnam or Thailand. They're fairly easy to set up but you have to follow the instructions to the letter.I've been very pleased with the print quality and the ink usage.

...if it's relevant. I'm using Sabayon 7 Gnome 3.2 64 bit.
My wireless itself is working but the led does not. This Toshiba laptop (Intel 965, 1.6ghz dual core, 3gb ram) has both a physical switch on the front and an Fn & F8 combination to turn wireless on and off. Fn and F8 works to turn the wireless on and off but there is no led.
In Ubuntu and Fedora between 2008 and now I had the opposite issue, that the led could not be turned off...
Someone has remarked about module parameters but I would not know where to look for that. I have seen unreadable .ko files but nothing that can be tweaked.
I know from 'experiments' (with Debian 6) that if all the rtl8187 stuff is removed from the kernel so that wireless does not work, the light still does.
I have googled this issue for about two years on and off - I would like to stick to Linux on this laptop and it feels like trying to get the light to come on when it should is slightly better than trying to get it to turn off when it should.
I thought this might be about the 3 series kernel but I just tried Sabayon 6 LXDE with the same result.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Pandora's Tower
Visit the official gamesite
Break a curse that threatens to transform a beloved friend into a horrific beast in the stylish, dark and captivating Pandora's Tower for Wii.
Pandora's Tower blends RPG elements with action-packed gameplay as you assume the role of Aeron, an Athosian soldier facing a deeply personal and emotionally charged mission. With your friend, Elena, bound to a grave fate that is causing her to mutate into a demonic abomination, you'll feel the pressure of time and the rush of accomplishment as you take up the fight to eradicate the spreading evil that has gripped her. To add to the drama of this melancholic and unconventional adventure, it is only by consuming the remains of monsters Aeron has slain that the cruel curse binding Elena can be reversed.
The world of Pandora's Tower features 13 gruelling environments to tackle, each one based within a tower structure, and each one home to grim monsters whose flesh takes on a macabre significance in the game's engrossing plotline. Enemies can be attacked in two ways – with a bladed weapon offering hard-hitting results up close, or with a magical chain possessing uses that extend far beyond overcoming opponents. Aimed by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen, the Oraclos Chain can be used to latch onto elements of the environment, allowing the player to reach new heights, activate levers or pull down parts of their surroundings. The chain also acts as the ultimate restraint when tackling monsters, allowing for innovative combat techniques as you engage in fast and furious real-time battles.
Using his sword and the magical Oraclos Chain, Aeron must defeat the creatures that lurk in the tower and harvest their meat to feed to Elena. Only by eating all of the "master flesh", harvested from the largest monsters within each tower, will Elena be fully cured of the curse and free from its monstrous grip.
As you progress, the weight of Elena's predicament will spur you on, her physical appearance becoming more grotesque the longer it takes you to overcome each tower. Minutes matter as you race to bring her the remains of your foes, an on-screen indicator changing colour to warn you of how advanced the mutation is becoming in your absence. When you're with Elena, your interactions will determine the strength of your overall relationship, a bond which could vary dramatically and will result in the game coming to one of numerous alternate endings.
Items collected throughout your journey can be traded with Mavda, a mysterious merchant carrying a strange skeletal creature on her back, who comes to your aid. With her, you can upgrade your weapons and even create new items by combining two or more items that you have found on your journey. The items that you have discovered while exploring the towers can be given to Elena as gifts to increase your affinity or be used help you on your quest to battle the 13 masters.
Enter the shadowy world of Pandora's Tower on Wii for a novel adventure experience that demands your devotion as a player. As time ticks away, the fate of your friend grows all the more unthinkable and the effects of evil stare you in the face even as you fight to suppress them. Do you have the heart for a fight that is guaranteed to get personal?
Experience a dark and original RPG adventure, where you must break a curse that threatens to transform your friend into a demonic beast.
Explore and survive 13 towers, defeating enemies and traversing your environment with a combination of swordplay and by using a magical chain that boasts multiple uses.
Feel the weight of a dynamic relationship in which your actions have a direct visible effect on your friend, Elena. Race against time to save her.

Auburn's potential park district
January 30, 2013 · Updated 6:29 PM
I want to state my concern regarding the direction the Auburn mayor and council seem to be pointing toward when it comes to funding different aspects of city government.
Five or six years ago we started the fire authority so the City could get out from under the over commitment of City funds toward fire support. I believe that removed several million dollars from the general fund while costing the average household $60 per year.
Management of the fire department moved from the entire City Council to a select few, and we are now making funding commitments on a five-year basis that does not reflect changes to the local economy.
Now the City is thinking of doing something similar with parks. In the words of councilman John Holman, as stated in the Reporter, the bottom line "is that taxes would go up 75 cents per thousand" of home evaluation. On a $250,000 house that would be an additional $187. I do not like the idea of a tax increase at this time.
More importantly, I don't like the concept of the council moving away from direct control of the budget. When we elect people to the council it is with the expectation that they will learn the importance of each portion of city government, discover the nuances of each department and determine what the distribution of monies should be among those departments.
As years pass, that distribution would vary depending on the situation at the moment. In fact, I would expect that decisions would be made to change that distribution somewhat every year. I want every member of the council to be a part of all those decisions, and I do not like the idea of five-year commitments that ignore economic changes.
If our council members do not want to be a part of all decisions, then I think we should create a real park district like Tacoma, run by separately elected officers and give them total budget authority and direct control over their own employees in number and salary; not a paperwork entity created just to generate income.

A garmet, that is usually very clean, that is worn by some people because their religion and/or culture requires it. Turbans are made from long strips of cloth (up to 30ft) and wrapped around the head. The method of wrapping can tell an observer a lot about the wearer's background. Turbans are pretty decent things to wear. Not at all dirty or bad. I should say the people who don't like them are incestuous pricks, or otherwise asshats.

Because three weeks later, the provincial government of John A. MacDonald was unseated and the Governor General Sir Edmund Walker Head overlooked George Brown and instead asked Galt to lead. He reluctantly accepted the Premiership of the Province of Canada and began the construction of the big country that he had imagined, convincing the British to make British North America into the first sovereign Dominion within the British Empire. But unbeknown to the Governor General, Galt was one of many important Montreal men who had signed a petition to join the United States. And the inexorable direction of Galt's convergence policies would not become apparent for several years.

Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A' Chuain
Julie FowlisI heard this song in the trailer of Pixar's upcoming movie Brave. So I searched around the net and found the title and meaning.
This song is a Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) song. The song is beautiful. And if you read the meaning, it'll be much more.
Below I'll post the translation. And of course, the link to the original lyrics.
My Love Is On the High Seas
On a quiet evening at the beginning of May
When the bat was in the skies
I heard a tearful young maiden
Singing beneath the shadow of the green branches
The sun was setting in the sea
And no stars yet graced the sky
When the young girl sang sorrowfully
"My love is on the high seas"
The night's dew began to fall
Each bloom yielding softly to the droplets
The wind blew in a fragrant breeze
Bringing life and renewal to each field
The girl tunefully sang her song
Quiet and peaceful like the June dew
And this chorus constantly repeated
"My love is on the high seas"
Day darkened and the stars shone
Setting their course amongst the clouds
The maiden sat, burdened by her sadness
Her singing could not have been more soothing
I moved closer to the young woman
Singing of her love sailing on the sea
Oh sweet was her sad lament
"My love is on the high seas"
The music enticed me
Nearer to the brown-haired maiden of the warm eyes
And she prayed to the King of Heaven
"Protect my love on the high seas"
Her heart was breaking with love
When I took her by the hand
"Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
I have returned to you from the high seas."———————————————————————————————————-
wanna watch Brave so badly

How to Brine a Turkey
Brining a turkey takes time and effort, but results in a moist and flavorful bird.
"Brining" has always been the secret method that chefs use to make a moist and flavorful baked turkey. Many years ago I asked a chef why her turkey meat tasted so good, and she led me back to the kitchen's large, walk-in cooler filled with birds soaking in a fragrant bath. I immediately got her recipe.
But what is brining? There are two types: wet and dry. Dry brining is simply rubbing a turkey in a salt and herb mixture and letting it sit (refrigerated of course) for many hours (usually about one hour per pound). It's somewhat easier and more convenient than the alternative wet option, and advocates insist dry brining makes for a bird with a firmer meat texture, and the skin is sensational.
Wet brining, which does seem to be the most popular option, requires soaking a turkey in a salt-water solution (with herbs, spices, and sometimes even beer or molasses) for several hours or overnight. Still, with a solid recipe and a little know-how, giving your turkey a long, flavorful soaking bath is not difficult. Even better, the results are worth the effort.
Make sure your turkey fits your oven, roasting pan, and brining cooler. I have had more than one excited call from a reader who exclaims "what can I do?" when all the purchased turkey will not fit into their oven or roasting pan. Next assemble the ingredients, along with a thoroughly washed cooler with a tight lid and two brand new, non-leaking trash bags (test them). It is important to completely submerge the bird so make sure you have plenty of brine. Adjust the strength of brine if you change the duration of the brining. For instance, if a recipe calls for two gallons of water to two pounds of salt and a quick four to six hour soak, brine the turkey overnight by using half as much salt. The amount of salt is key, so use the specified amount.
Before soaking your thawed, clean turkey, be sure to whisk the brine to completely dissolve the salt. My recipe below requires a cooking step. Many cooks prefer to brine with kosher salt because its flaky texture dissolves easily. If you use table salt, just be sure to pay extra attention to the whisking step. Try incorporating the traditional Thanksgiving flavors — dried sage is a big one — or ingredients you're using in other dishes such as peppercorns, rosemary, or thyme.
A safe, convenient way to brine is to arrange a large nonporous plastic bag in a large bowl then place the turkey inside, breast side down, followed by the brine. Remove as much air as possible, seal the bag, and refrigerate it, or, put it into a cooler and cover the plastic bag with sealed plastic bags of ice. Make sure you have enough liquid to cover the bird. The bag and bowl method keeps everything neat and orderly and you don't have to worry about leaks and spills as your turn the bird over every 6 to 10 hours. I never had enough room in my refrigerator to hold a brining turkey, so I use a cooler set out in the garage with plenty of zip lock bags of ice on top. Put a thermometer on top to make sure the entire contents do not go above 40 degrees.
Once you remove the turkey from its overnight bath in brine, rinse it thoroughly with cold water, inside and out then pat it dry. Discard the brine solution and plastic bags. Scrub the cooler, or bowl with soap and water.
Also remember, never brine a kosher turkey as it's already been salted. You'll also want to avoid self-basted turkeys, which have added salt. Do not stuff a turkey if you brine it. The salt from the brine will soak into the stuffing and likely ruin it. I always brine overnight, turning the bird over once around midnight.
To basic brine a 10 to 14 lb. turkey, here is the recipe I use.
16 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 cups kosher salt
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tablespoon pickling spices (McCormick's)
To roast the turkey, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the turkey from the brine 30 minutes before roasting. Line a shallow roasting pan with long pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the bird in a roasting pan.
I put 2 whole apples and 2 whole onions (peeled) inside the cavity, along with some fresh sprigs of herbs (thyme and sage, 2 sprigs each). Brush the outside with 4 tablespoons of melted butter; season all over with pepper.
Gather foil loosely on top and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or follow directions for weight of your bird. Open the foil and bake for 2 and 1/4 hours more, and watch thermometer like a hawk.
After foil is opened, baste every 30 minutes with broth and 2 tablespoons butter, until the turkey is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F and the juices run clear. Transfer the breast to a cutting board; let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Last week I made my very first turkey for an early Thanksgiving celebration. Wish I'd had this recipe first! Your explanation is so much simpler than anything else I read online. I'll have to bookmark for next year. :) Thanks!

Our brine--besides the salt and water staples--includes apple juice, cloves, bay leaves, and orange halves. Then we barbecue it adding hickory chips for a smoky effect. Yum.

Fascinating. I had heard of brine, but did not know there were so many steps involved. Knowing that I would have to do so much extra work to brine, most likely, I will not do it. But thank you for taking the time to explain the details.
6:29 pm on Wednesday, November 21, 2012
I promise, this is the best way to make a turkey hands down. Yes, it takes more effort but I promise you will absolutely love every single deliciously moist bite. This is the recipe I used for Thanksgiving success. :D

Brandon Comeaux
I've lived in the Carencro/Lafayette area all my life. From the food, to the people, to the area sports teams, no matter where I visit, this area is my home and I love it.
My love of sports got me into the world of radio, and actually contributed to me becoming a part of the KPEL staff. Let me explain:
When I was in high school, I played football for Northside High. After practices, I would love to jump in my car and listen to the guys on ESPN 1420 talk about my team and all the other high schools in the area. One day it dawned on me that I wanted to make a career out of talking sports on the radio (including working for ESPN 1420) and major in Broadcasting. So I went to UL-Lafayette. About midway through college in 2007, I took a public speaking class that allowed me to set up an interview with someone in my chosen field. After talking with Steve Peloquin, ESPN 1420's program director, he decided to hire me. It was an answer to a prayer that I'd been praying for years, a chance to work for my favorite radio station. After working a couple of years at ESPN 1420, the KPEL staff noticed my hard work and offered me a chance to work with them as well. I took them up on their offer, and as I got more and more involved with KPEL, I began to enjoy it as much as I did working for ESPN 1420. I really enjoy being able to keep our listeners informed on the news of the day.
I consider myself very blessed. I get to work in the news and sports worlds, and I get to do so with great people on both stations. On ESPN 1420, I have my own sports talk show (Sunday Night Sportstalk from 7-8 pm) and I cover high school sports for them as well. On Newstalk 96.5 KPEL, in addition to my reporter and producer duties, I do website work and behind the scenes stuff that keeps the station running, a responsibility that I really enjoy having. Working at KPEL sometimes reminds me of conversations with my late grandfather when I was a teenager; conversations that very much involved news and politics. I began working in radio after he died, but I know he's watching me from above, and I strive to make him proud.
I'm a huge New Orleans Saints fan, as well as the Cajuns and LSU Tigers. While I was a student at UL, I got to travel all over the country with the football team as one of their videographers, an experience I'll never forget.
In my spare time, I love going to sporting events, especially ones that involve road trips with my friends. I also volunteer in my church's Children's Department, teaching some of the older kids how to work the media equipment.

From Teasing to Torment Documents Student Experiences of Bullying and Harassment in Georgia Schools
New York � GLSEN, or the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, today released From Teasing to Torment: A Profile of School Climate in Georgia, a report that provides a rare look into student experiences with bullying and harassment in Georgia schools. The results are based on students in Georgia who were surveyed as part of a national study of secondary school students and teachers conducted by Harris Interactive� and GLSEN�s research department.
�This report highlights that there is a lot of work to be done in Georgia to ensure safe schools for all students,� said Kevin Jennings, Founder and Executive Director of GLSEN, and author of the recently released memoir Mama�s Boy, Preacher�s Son. �With harassment and assault reported to be higher in schools without comprehensive anti-harassment policies, the question is why don�t more Georgia schools have such policies, and why doesn�t the state implement comprehensive legislation that protects all of its students?� Key findings from the report include: Biased language was frequently heard in Georgia schools Bullying, name-calling, and harassment are serious problems in Georgia schools Comprehensive policies and resources in Georgia schools are lacking Methodology Student interviews were conducted online by a nationally representative sample of 3,450 public and private/parochial students ages 13 to 18. Within this sample, an oversample of students was drawn from Georgia, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Interviews averaged 15 minutes and were conducted between January 13 and January 31, 2005. Sample was drawn from the Harris Poll Online (HPOL) multimillion member online panel of cooperative respondents from over one hundred countries. Invitations for this study were emailed to a selected sample of the database identified as residing in the United States and being a student between the ages of 13 and 18. Data for the national survey were weighted to reflect the national population of children ages 13 to 18 for key demographic variables (gender, age, race and ethnicity, size of place, region, and parent�s education). Demographic weights were based on U.S. Census data obtained via the March 2004 Current Population Survey (CPS). For the national survey, a post weight was applied to the student data to adjust for the twelve state oversampling so that the regional distribution reflects the nation as a whole. State-specific data, including that which is presented in this report, does not reflect this postweight.

Why does Flickr offer 1TB of storage for free yet charge $499/yr for 2TB?
The answer is that Yahoo! doesn't expect many Flickr users to use anywhere near the 1TB they are offering.

Could $200 ultrathin, touch-screen PC be the shot in the arm that the PC industry needs to climb out of the tailspin it has found itself in?
It's easy to touch-enable your existing PC without breaking the bank. Here are a few recommendation,along with some pros and cons for you to note.
Now that tablets and smartphones are all the rage, people are making their PCs last longer by improving them with strategic upgrades. But choosing the right upgrades can mean the difference between a faster, better system, and throwing your money away.
Buyers are unlikely to care about the odd half inch of screen size here or there. These days, only one thing matters: Price.
Windows 'Blue' represents an effort on Microsoft's part to change the way we think of the Windows update cycle, perhaps to get us ready for a subscription service.
PC distributors and ODMs are keeping inventories low as a result of falling PC shipments as consumers are turning to smartphones and tablets.
Are hybrid systems destined to kill off the tablet, or are they just another PC form factor waiting to fail?
Sometimes you just want a cheap and cheerful PC to handle some simple tasks. This build – excluding Windows, a display, and peripherals, comes in at under $300.
In five and a half years, Android has come from nowhere to crush Apple and Microsoft in the mobile device market. How long until PC OEMs decide to take a gamble on the winning mobile OS and load Android onto PCs?

ISO Tests
Yes, it does all those things.
Look at the top view of the camera. The dial on the left controls the focus -- full continuous auto, auto, and manual (for manual you can get a handy zoomed in view via the electronic view finder for pin sharp photos). You focus by twisting the lens barrel.
The PASM wheel to the right allows both aperture and shutter priority, both adjustable via the jog dial on the back (it's on the front -- much better -- on the GH1).
I suggest you head over to DP Review for a full (very full) photographers perspective. I guess El Reg is catering to the general gadgetista's interest here.
re: "Blinkers"
No they haven't. They've made APS-C and fullframe 35mm shaped sensor cameras.
Christian Erhardt of Leica had this to say about micro 4/3:
"Our lenses our designed to work best with full format, the light can hit different pixels of the sensor at a very extreme angle–once you have that, the image may be slightly out of focus, or not as bright around the edges.".
But he also explained why Leica choosed to not join the MicroFourThirds alliance: "One reason why we've decided not to move into Micro Four Thirds is that we have looked at the sensor size and realized that it cannot produce the image quality that we need. Therefore we decided to stick with the full format in addition to APS-C. It's all about the ratios".
The K-x
The major reason that I never bought a K-x as a cheap backup camera (I'm a Nikon and Leica user otherwise) is that the f'king thing only takes AA cell batteries, not proper solid camera batteries. Even feeding the thing 2900mAh rechargables, the run time is pans,a nd spares are bulky.
Sure, give it the capability to take consumer batteries too- but let it run on proper camera batts. My Ricoh GR Digital 3 runs on the usual lithium camera battery- but can also take AAA cells in the same compartment if you remove the normal battery.. due to clever engineering.
Otherwise the K-x is a fine little camera, nice image quality, snappy focus (certainly compared to cheap Canons) and available in a load of cheerfully loud colours.
Err no redux
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Leica are actually on record that they will NEVER make an EVIL (electronic viewfinder interchangable lens) camera, as the 4/3 factor doesn't suit their optics set up at all.
Err no
The sensor size isn't that far from APS-C, which you find in low and midrange DSLRs- in quality and noise terms. Full frame is different, but then only bodies costing £1500 upwards have these in.

John 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Christ Is Risen – He Is Risen Indeed. Easter blessings to you all. He is the Way, the Truth and the Light.

A very merry Christmas to you and your family as we reflect on God's greatest gift - His Son. Peace and prosperity to you in 2013.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and family. Hope the next year is good to you!
Have a nice weekend and Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a prosperous 2013 to you and your family! Thanks buddy! Ron
