Whether spending your vacation time indoors or exploring the outdoors, there is always something to do at the Goose & Turrets Bed & Breakfast. We are located Montara, CA which is near Half Moon Bay.
For special events during this summer, go to: visithalfmoonbay.org
Indoor Activities
Are you interested in cozying up by the fire and reading a good book? If so, the Goose & Turrets B&B's fireplace is a location you will want to visit. When it is foggy out, the fireplace is always going, allowing guests time to read a book, listen to a favorite CD or play the piano. During Afternoon Tea, served daily at 4:30, guests will be treated to a selection of teas, dessert items, cheeses and sandwiches. Selections vary each day, making our Afternoon Tea the perfect reason to stop buy and visit. While you are there, be sure to meet our other guests and some of our staff.
Outdoor Activities
Located just a half mile's walk from the beach, there is always something to see and do along the California Coast. Ideal for Half Moon Bay Getaways and offering a more personalized experience than traditional, Montara CA Hotels, the Goose & Turrets B&B encourages guests to explore the area at their own pace. If you wish to stay close to the property, beach-combing, bird and sea mammal watching, enjoying our hammocks and Application swings, and exploring our gardens are just some of the numerous ideas guests how guest can spend whole or part of their day.
At morning's dawn or at evening's dusk, relax in our comfortable outdoor seating areas or explore our grounds, listening to the sounds of tranquil fountains and smelling the fragrant blooms of jasmine and rose. Best of all, there are no biting insects, noisy streets or stressful drives, making the Goose & Turrets B&B the perfect San Francisco Weekend Getaway location.
Just A Short Drive Away
If you are interested in venturing a little further away from the Goose & Turrets B&B, there is a host of activities, designed to keep visitors as active or as relaxed as they choose. One of the most relaxing activities involves driving along the San Mateo Coast. A popular activity, for those interested in Montara CA Getaways, the drive from Montara to Ano Nuevo allows road enthusiasts to experience the unspoiled, California Coast.
As guests drive south on Highway 1, they pass Devil's Slide until they reach Montara. Continuing south is Moss Beach and the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, where a ranger-led experience is the perfect culmination to all guests interested in a Montara CA Weekend Getaway.
Princeton is another popular location to explore, as the Mavericks is a must-see, photo spot.
Some other ideas for spending time along the 40 miles of San Mateo County shoreline include:
– Exploring San Mateo County's Numerous Walking Trails,
– Golfing and Horseback Riding at Half Moon Bay,
– Learning about the Northern Elephant Seal at Ano Nuevo,
– Participating in Pillar Point Sport Fishing and Boating Charters,
– Photographing the Pigeon Point Lighthouse,
– Seal Watching (Harbor) at Pescadero Beach,
– Shopping and Dining at Pillar Point Harbor's Village of Princeton
Whether you are searching for out-of-the-ordinary, San Francisco Hotels, Half Moon Bay Hotels, or Montara Hotels, nothing compares to the Goose & Turrets B&B. Try it for yourself the next time you are searching for the perfect Half Moon Bay Weekend Getaway or for one of many, memorable San Francisco Getaways and Vacation Destinations.

Top popper
Orville Redenbacher's gets the nod in microwave popcorn showdown
Published 3:55 pm, Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Maybe you don't give microwave popcorn much thought until some doofus at the office burns it in the break room and the smell hangs in the air for the rest of the day.
For home, you might grab whatever is cheapest and mindlessly shovel it into your mouth while working your way through your Hulu queue on the couch.
But like the storyline of "True Detective," the popcorn you're popping is worthy of a little consideration.
So we fired up our office microwave, which we believe might have been the U.S. prototype for microwaves, and dutifully popped three brands of butter-flavored popcorn for Price Point, a monthly feature in which we put three brands of a product at various stops along the price range to the test.
None of the tested popcorn left us wanting to give up the joyful pinging of kernels flying around in a pot on the stove, but one brand stood out for being the closest to homemade.
More Information
Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Naturals Classic Butter and Sea Salt
Price: $3.19 for three bags (76.3 grams each)
Panel says: Unlike its counterparts, this buttered popcorn was white instead of a glowing yellow. It was saltier than the others, which none of us minded, since it is popcorn, after all. But don't expect those heart-stopping levels of butter. The butter flavor is subtle, but what makes this brand a winner is that the corn flavor is the star.
Act II butter flavor
Price: $2.39 for three bags (78 grams each)
Panel says: We found this brand to taste very much like the pre-bagged popcorn you might buy at a street fair or circus. The texture was similar to packing Styrofoam. The flavor was average, and combined with the texture, not enough to have us coming back for a second bowl.
Pop Secret butter flavor
Price: $3.59 for three bags (90.7 grams each)
Panel says: The most expensive brand brought out the most emotion and required popping all three microwave bags in order to determine whether the wave of melted "butter" (labeling says it's artificially and naturally flavored) leaking out of the first bag and pooling on the microwave tray was just a manufacturing glitch. The second and third bags merely sweat beads of butter on the outside of the bag, but that was the least of Pop Secret's worries. The texture was offputting — the kernels broke apart easily and tended to stick to the molars. And the popcorn was so heavily soaked in butter flavor that we never dared to imagine what the "extra butter" version of the product would be like. But one tester embraced its flaws, saying it would be her go-to if she were looking for "junk food" popcorn. "I could see myself (eating it) in a low moment or in emotional distress, crying and watching a sad movie," she said. "I hate humanity," one other tester joked. "It's time for some Pop Secret."
A kernel of knowledge
In connection with today's Price Point assessment of microwave popcorn, we asked readers of the Table Hopping blog about their favorite brand. The results, from more than 80 votes:
Orville Redenbacher's: 44 percent
Pop Secret: 25 percent
Other: 20 percent
Act II: 11 percent
Among the brands mentioned by "other" voters were Jiffy Pop, SkinnyPop and "make your own in a brown paper lunch bag."

Hum Ne Li Hai… Shapath, produced by Fireworks Productions, one of the long-running shows on Life OK successfully completes one year today (14 January 2013). The show has kept the audience entertained with its intriguing story lines. And the creative team continues to churn out new locations and concepts to keep the interest going.
We hear that the creative team along with Producer B P Singh is presently in Ahmedabad to plan their next outdoor schedule there. This particular special episode will be shot very soon, and it will be directed by the B P Singh himself.
The entire team also plans to celebrate the big occasion of completing one year with a grand party which will be organized in the third week of this month (January).
When contacted, Supervising Producer Vijay Shetty said, "We have had a great journey of Shapath. Today is a big day for us, and we plan to celebrate it at a later date with a grand party."
Aamir Dalvi who essays the role of Inspector Kavi shared, "This has been one different role for me. It is always fun to shoot for Shapath and I have been part of it for six months now. It is a very good achievement and we are doing pretty well too on the TRP charts."
We tried calling Producer B P Singh, but he remained unavailable.
We wish the entire team all the very best for the future.

Purple Penguin Brain Freeze
Frozen pops are the ultimate chill out. If you don't have freezer molds, use 3-ounce paper cups. Cover filled paper cups with aluminum foil, then poke the stick through.
Level: Easy
Yield: 6 to 8 pops
- 2 c. blueberries
- 2 c. low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- Combine the blueberries, yogurt, and sugar in the blender and blend like crazy. Really. Blend a whole lot—longer than it looks like you need to—or you'll get unpleasant, grainy bits of peel and seed in the finished pop.
- Pour the mixture into the freezer molds, leaving at least 1⁄2 inch empty at the top because liquids expand when they freeze.
- Freeze for 2 hours, or until solid. (It will all depend on how fast your freezer works.)
- To unmold, fill the bowl or pot with the hot water, and dip the molds in it until you can wiggle the pops out by their handles. If you're using paper cups, just tear the paper away.

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past fourteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.
The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.
I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more details.

2017 Series Episode 1 tx 15/04/17. Written by Steven Moffatt. Directed by Lawrence Gough. Episode reviewed by John Connors
Chips, lemon drops and macaroons!
Modern Doctor Who is now an old series. 12 years on screen and counting. The newness has worn off, the freshly painted exterior needs a fresh coat. Under such circumstances- and having admitted publicly this is the series too far, the one he initially had to be persuaded to make - it would be easy to expect Steven Moffat to brew something dark, bitter and even uncommitted. However `The Pilot` from its cheeky title in is so fresh and totally committed you wonder whether secretly a new showrunner has already arrived and he's still called Steven Moffat! This episode is such a leap from last series' darker hues that it feels like the whole team has overdosed on jelly babies!
The Doctor has a macaroon dispenser! `The Pilot` is the most satisfying and entertaining companion intro since `Rose` with which it shares a joyful optimism about adventure, knowledge as well as a sense of fun. Just like that 2005 episode it distils the essence of Doctor Who into its running time though it is a more sophisticated take. There's a definite Educating Rita vibe about the university setting and the meeting of someone ordinary with someone exceptional. Bill Potts works in the kitchens but attends the Doctor's lectures because she finds them fascinating which is a great way to introduce a new companion as it says something about the potential for anyone to educate themselves or to be educated.
The character seems to have inspired Steven Moffat to pen some of the best scenes of his tenure in charge of the show. Every line of the Doctor and Bill's conversations dances off the screen mixing Bill's incredulity at what she's seeing plus her frank explanations with the Doctor's reactions and interest in her because she seems to remind him of Susan. This link is further underlined by the fact that the girl with the star in her eye is called Heather. A modern day Bill and Heather.
The on screen rapport between Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie is instant and perfect- I could actually just watch the two of them bantering away for the whole episode! Pearl's experience shows here as she makes Bill a warm, curious and interesting person. Unlike either Clara or Amy she seems like someone you or I might conceivably meet. Bill's reactions to the Tardis are priceless. "Is it a knock through?" she first asks before declaring that it looks like an expensive kitchen! Before long she wants to use the toilet! There are some funny observations too, notably Bill's description of the Doctor running "like a penguin with its arse on fire." All told a flawless debut with even that scene shown a year back to introduce her re-edited (or re-shot?) to take out the more annoying questions and focus more on the sheer overwhelming feelings Bill is having.
After a promising debut as a regular in the Xmas special, Nardole is even funnier here, but in a good way. Matt Lucas manages to make a change of expression provide a commentary on the Doctor's behaviour and it's portioned out just enough to be amusing.
As for Peter Capaldi he is just getting better and better. If in his first series he was a little too Malcolm Tucker without the swearing and last time he spent seemingly behaving like Matt Smith, the balance struck with the Xmas Special has been further tweaked. In this episode he is excellent, alien yet approachable, dismissive then fascinated in a second. The script also has less of a manic tone allowing him the space to put more nuance into his performance. There are some lovely notes for the character in this episode especially his travelling back to take photos of Bill's mum which is a big contrast to his behaviour in his initial series. Compare Capaldi's entrance this series with that overblown `stadium rock` nonsense last time. Here, the guitar is heard then put away; the contrast could not be more telling. Such a shame Peter Capaldi's leaving just when he's nailed it.
The plot itself is slight but enough to fulfil the need for some scares – the eye in the plughole in particular is a jump off the seat moment- and some action. The chase sequence adds in briefly glimpsed Movellans and a Dalek but even better is a planet in the far future that really shows Bill how far she's travelled. The narrative works in Bill's sexuality without making a big thing of it even though it is the mutual feelings of Bill and Heather that drive the later plot. The space oil is reminiscent of the Flood from `Waters of Mars` and it even sounds like the same noise they use when she screams but the resolution is different enough.
Visually the series remains as sumptuous as ever but the darker tones increasingly evident in recent years have given way to a lighter palette- it even looks summery sometimes. Having a menacing puddle in daylight proves you can do atmospheric scares without always going somewhere with no lights! Director Lawrence Gough is not averse to the odd trick- loved the photo montages that pop up- and supports the story's increasing momentum very well. The scene where Bill faces Heather on the mist shrouded lawn outside the university building is especially atmospheric.
The hints of a bigger arc plot work well; clearly we'll be revisiting that vault in the basement and Bill's phone seems to have that `rhythm of three` ring that we associate with a certain villain. Also to whom was the Doctor's promise made? The camera lingers several times on the photos of River Song and Susan. Could it be that we will see one- or even both – of them before the series end? The episode finishes with a lovely sequence suggesting that the Doctor's promise may have been to stop his travelling ("I never go anywhere" he says earlier) but now he's been tempted to break that promise for Bill. Again it reminds me of the sheer optimism for adventure and "what the hell" that featured at the end of `Rose`. Indeed there is more of an echo of Russell T Davies' period in this episode than we've seen in a long time. It does prove really that the absolute best of modern Doctor Who works when you take both show runners' approaches and mix them together.
It is peculiar for someone leaving the programme to deliver such a fresh, vibrant recalibration that is more like a new show runner's debut but perhaps the realisation that he is going has freed Steven Moffat to tear up some of his now well worn tropes and have a bit more fun. For me the best episode since `Flatline`. What a great start!!

In Summary
- Last year in August, the Commission promoted 5,171 teachers to Job Group H and J after completing the teacher proficiency course.
- The new recruitment policy was launched last year after the TSC stopped promoting teachers based on the number of years in service.
The Teachers Service Commission has shortlisted 7,000 more teachers for 10,000 vacancies.
This is in addition to 20,057, others were to be interviewed last month as the commission seeks to hire principals, headmasters and deputies in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. The positions were advertised in September last year.
"The shortlisted candidates include primary school headteachers and deputies serving in Job Group G and H who have acquired a Bachelor of Education degree," said TSC's Kihumba Kamotho Kihumba in a statement on Monday.
"Others are teachers, deputies and headteachers in Job Group L who will be interviewed for promotion to Job Group M. Headteachers, principals, curriculum support officers and lecturers serving in Job Group M will be interviewed for posts in Job Group N," he said, and asked teachers to view the short list on the TSC's website.

OMG I have so many things to post about today.
This is the second one.
Clash of the Geeks, the chapbook that arose from that amazing painting of Wil Wheaton on a Unipegakitten and an orcified John Scalzi fighting is now available for download!
It contains my story: This Is the Way the World Ends. Scalzi himself said of it: We've got Cat Valente hitting one completely over the wall with her awesome. The tale contains apocalypse, prophecy, television wars and sentient toys. It is mad as a zooful of ferrets. Pat Rothfuss, Rachel Swirsky, Scalzi and Wheaton themselves and a few new names are all in on the fun.
The chapbook is free to download but donations are strongly recommended--all proceeds benefit the Lupus Alliance of America. Spread the word!
Here's an excerpt from my story.
They said Ragnarok. They meant a particularly nasty tantrum thrown by an atomic blast.
They said Fenrir. They meant a genetically altered science fiction writer, pumped with steroids, chlorophyll, and Coke Zero.
They said Sleipnir, the Eight-Legged Steed. They meant a sentient Mattel-brand UniPegaKitten, Patent 674561A9, part of the RealPalz line, which once belonged to one Madison Suzanne Keller of Dayton, Ohio, Age 9.
They said Odin, His Breastplate Gleaming, Wielding the Great Spear Ygg. They meant Wil Wheaton. In a clown sweater. But, in fairness, he did wield a spear.

Tracey, takes me back to the 70s, I only had 3 tapes for my Philipps cassette player, Bridge over Troubled Water, AmerIcan Pie and The Carpenters, loved them all and new every song off by heart.
Always loved that song Don't worry, be happy, do,do do, do, do,d,do -try to stick to it as much as I can. The tune will be stuck in my brain all day now, ear worms!
Just popped in to say hello, do look in every now and then but don't always post.
isn't it lovely seeing everything starting to spring up in the garden. Ground sopping wet here on the Pennines. Must be awful for those with floods. Am waiting for my sighting of lambs on my way to work.
Hello, not been on for a while, it have a look around sometimes.
Dove, never thought about fence panelling and hedgehogs, glad I don't have any now. I could feed an army of them in my garden with the thousands of slugs we have. Would love to have just one, but would the cats bother it?
Sorry to hear about your cat Zoomer, know how that feels.
I have a 2 stone cats and 2 pigs. I have a couple of nice obelisks too that I don't put plants on as I just like the look of them.
Hello Lily, likewise Hello again Dove and Chicky, hope you are both well.
I drive over the moors from Lancashire to Yorkshire, up hill and down dale several times. The grasses are going a dark golden at the moment and the woods I pass are looking spectacular, after the win in the last couple of days the leaves are getting deeper at the side of the road. I am tempted to take my snow shovel and gather some of them up for leaf mould.
A finger of fudge is more like half a finger nowadays and a bounty ... don't get me started
I have shared a stage with Patrick Stewart.
Twizzle! Not many people remember Twizzle, I remember him twizzling to get a cat off a roof.
Millie Mollie Mandy...
The changing moorland colours as I drive to and from work; the deep pink sedums, the heather on the hills; yellow horse chestnut leavse, rowan berries and beech trees.
Hello again, haven't popped in for a while ..
Hi Michelle, sure you will enjoy the forum, just ask away and answers will surely follow

Lawrence police are investigating an unattended death near the Kansas University campus this afternoon after a someone discovered a body hanging inside a small outbuilding.
"We found a small shed behind the residence, and there's a body hanging in the shed. It's obviously been there for a long time," said Capt. Ray Urbanek.
Officers and medics with Lawrence Douglas County Fire & Medical were called around 3:15 p.m. to the alley in the 1200 block of Louisiana Street after someone who lives in the house on the property discovered the body, police said.
The residents of the home, who were all accounted for, had detected a foul smell, Urbanek said. They were looking for what caused the smell when someone discovered the body, he said.
"It looks pretty much just like a suicide to me," Urbanek said.
The police captain said because of how long the body had been there officers could not immediately tell race or sex, much less make an identification or try to notify the person's family.
Police detectives were on their way to the scene to help investigate.
Urbanek also said officers believe the shed was something the residents did not have access to.

Dear Ms. Gaspar:
Thank you for posting your need for accounting staff on JobsDB.com. I am available to fill this opening and can begin work immediately after hiring.

I have already demonstrated those skills as I was involve compute works such as in word processing, spreadsheets, presentation and email application and databases during my computer course training.
I have attached my resume for your review and this should give you some idea of my educational qualifications and experience. However, I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you and further discuss my qualifications.
Respectfully yours,

Chapter 3
Mike and Joe laughed and high-fived each other at the great work they'd done on Solitaire 3000. But they were about to play a game that they could not win. A player known only as thecrazyguycz showed up and challenged the two to a game.
"Mike, do you want to go?" Joe asked.
"I've played the last 15 games," said Mike. "You can go, Joe," he said.
"Thanks," said Joe. He scooted his chair closer to the computer and immediately started clicking and dragging cards, listening to the dazzling sound. But Joe was shocked when he saw that thecrazyguycz had a much better shot at winning. His cards were arranged in a much more desirable pattern. Joe hoped that he would win, despite the fact that thecrazyguycz had the upper hand.
At last, both thecrazyguycz and Joe had three complete stacks of cards, and they both had one stack that needed a 2 of hearts. They clicked on the deck, and they both got their cards. Instantly, they began clicking away so that they could get all their cards in the stacks. Joe was stacking as fast as he could, but thecrazyguycz was much faster than he was.
"Come on, Joe, hurry, you can do it!" Mike said.
"I'm trying," said Joe, frantically clicking away, nearly making his mouse explode, "but he's too fast for me." Nevertheless, he still tried to catch up, but it was to no avail. At last, he reached the top of the stacks, clicking to stack the kings. But it was too late. Thecrazyguycz had already stacked all of his kings. He had won the game. The loud sound effects of applause and fireworks emitted on thecrazyguycz's computer, while a "wrong-answer" buzzer emitted on Joe's computer.
"Don't worry, you tried," said Mike.
"Don't worry? Dude, we promised that Bill Gates would pay the winner $500, and this guy's not going to get it. We'll be in HUGE trouble when they find out it's a fake!" Joe said.
Meanwhile, thecrazyguycz was prancing all around his computer. "Yes! I did it, I did it! I'm winning $500 from Bill Gates! But wait…how do I know when I get it? Maybe I'd better send him an e-mail." Thecrazyguycz went to Microsoft's website and clicked the e-mail link to e-mail Bill Gates.
"Mr. Bill Gates," the e-mail read, "I played Solitaire 3000, and there was a notice that said that you would send the winner $500. When do I get it, and should I send you my address so you can give me the check?"
Thecrazyguycz sent the e-mail to Bill Gates, and he waited patiently. As he waited, he sipped his Dr. Pepper. Finally, he was elated when he found that Bill Gates had actually responded. Wow! The one and only Bill Gates! Thecrazyguycz eagerly opened the e-mail to see when Bill Gates would send his check. But he was dismayed when he read the message.
"You've got to be kidding me, right? Microsoft has not published a game called Solitaire 3000. I Googled the name of the game, and I was shocked to find that someone had taken apart my program and advertised it without permission. I will track these hooligans down and have them charged for illegal modification of my program," said Bill Gates's e-mail.
Over at the Microsoft headquarters, Bill Gates hacked once more into the programming of Solitaire 3000 to find out the crooks that messed with his game. While scanning all the lines of codes, he finally stumbled upon the IP address of the computer. He used one of his programs to track the location of the computer with the IP address and find the e-mail address. He successfully located Joe's computer and e-mail address and sent him a message.
"Sir, I am charging you with illegal modification of my program because you advertised and posted a modified version of my solitaire game without permission. You have broken the Terms of Use for Windows, and that is a very big offense. I'll see you in jail," Bill Gates typed in his e-mail to Joe.
Meanwhile, Mike and Joe were still worried about how to deal with thecrazyguycz, when Joe realized he received an e-mail. He opened it, and his eyes opened in shock when he saw that he was in big trouble. He collapsed on the floor and fainted. "Joe, Joe? Are you okay?" Mike asked. Joe wouldn't respond. He'd learned his lesson. Illegal modification of a program belonging to a major coporation was a big no-no.

Odemwingie Confident Of Survival
Peter Odemwingie believes that we will see the best of the Baggies now the pressure is on, as he thinks the team possesses the character to dig deep and ensure survival.
Speaking to Sky Sports our leading scorer seems more confident than most given our 1 point buffer from the relegation zone, but he remains confident that the team have all the necessary qualities to pull away from the bottom 3 as we head into the final months of the season.
'I believe that this is a team that does better under pressure. I think we will show our character and this is what we need in these big games coming up.'
We'll see if he's right on Monday when we look to enact some revenge on Stoke for the earlier result in the season.
3 points there would certainly be welcome and if other results go our way we could climb the table nicely and get a confidence boost, even if the actual point score would still be close.

To Learn About Art, Party With the Artists
An Art Salon in the Hamptons
This weekend, Chad Loweth, a real-estate investor who had previously worked in the finance and hedge-fund industries, hosted what he called an art salon on the farm field at his Water Mill home.
Mr. Loweth said he was at Art Basel in Miami Beach last year with several couples. "If you go to those events, there's so much in one place, it can be pretty mind-numbing," he said. Among several of his friends, who he described as...

#3. WWE Hyping Daniel Bryan's WM Match
At this point, who cares?
If you follow my work here on WZ, you know I'm not the biggest Daniel Bryan fan. If you're looking for one, see Justin LaBar. I understand he's a great worker, but I don't see the "it" factor like some fans do.
Call it his fault; call it Creative's fault. I'm not seeing it either way.
That said, he was one of the "Money in the Bank" winners this year and deserves better as such. What good does it do to start hyping his WrestleMania match during a time where he's losing so much?
I've heard some fans saying that it's WWE's way of creating doubt – making us think that he'll be the first MITB winner to cash in and lose. The idea being that it will mean more that way. That seems pretty backwards to me. Winning a World championship does not make you an overnight success, especially if it's after a long, horrible streak of losing.
Regardless, I honestly don't think Vince will ever allow Daniel Bryan to get "too" big. CM Punk is enough when it comes to ROH and internet darlings. The infamous debate is whether Bryan deserves to be there or not.

It is with the greatest sadness that we send this message to
inform you that our most revered and beloved teacher,
His Eminence Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche, passed away
Sunday, January 30th, 2005 in Himachel Pradesh, India. Ceremonies
and prayers are being performed in India, and on February 11th
a cremation ceremony took place.
H.E. Khempo Rinpoche was one of the foremost scholars and
meditation masters of the Mahayana and Dzogchen traditions
of Vajrayana Buddhism, while a fully dedicated exponent of
non-sectarianism. As an incarnate lineage holder of the
Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, Khempo Rinpoche was also
known for his expertise in Green Tara practice which he taught
for the benefit of his students and his dedication to
World Peace.
Khempo was highly respected and loved by thousands of
spiritual leaders, international dignitaries, students
and friends from all over the world. Those of us who worked
with Khempo Rinpoche will remember our extraordinary adventures
with him. His remarkable life was not only an inspiration but a
precious example of Bodhicitta motivation and skillful means.
His greatness was revealed in his humility and kindness.
His humor brought the greatest joy while embodying the most
profound teachings.
The departing of Khempo Rinpoche from this world adds
poignancy to his works and teachings. His departure will
likely be regarded by many as his ultimate teaching on
impermanence ~ his final gift to us.
~We thank you Khempo Rinpoche, for shining your light on us.
We pray for your swift return.
Losar Poems & Tributes
Before Khempo Rinpoche left for India, he wrote two poems
for The Tibetan New Year (Losar). They can be viewed on
our website: www.khempo.com/losar2005.htm.
Our sincerest thanks to those who helped Khempo Rinpoche
host His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in Florida this past
September. Khempo considered that teaching to be extremely
important to World Peace ~ his most cherished mission.
We have been receiving heartfelt messages and beautiful
tributes and invite all to send any tributes, stories,
memories or photos to us. They may be sent to
We will be forever grateful to Khempo Rinpoche for his
precious gifts to us. We will strive to honor him by
continuing his work and living the teachings he spent his
lifetime imparting to the world.
Khempo's Sangha

Seriously, are you out of your mind?
Earlier this week, the company agreed to voluntarily cease sales in New York. And on Tuesday, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement that the FDA plans to rule caffeine an unsafe substance to add to alcoholic beverages, "effectively making products such as Four Loko, Joose, and others like them, prohibited for sale in the United States."
The ban is only on a mixture of alcohol and caffeine. No one is banning either alcohol or caffeine individually. This whole thread is full delusional neocons who get off lying and spreading fear.
There's water in the drinks too. Why don't you neocons tell everyone the FDA is banning water now!!! Everyone the neocons need you to know that this FDA ban will of course lead to a ban on water because the NWO doesn't want you to consume liquids.

C.J. Rapp is an American beverage inventor best known for inventing and marketing high-caffeine Jolt Cola. In 1985, C. J. Rapp developed Jolt Cola, which contains 72 milligrams of caffeine[clarification needed (per which quantity)], which is the maximum amount permitted by the US Food and Drug Administration. He attended McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, New York. As a sociology major at SUNY Potsdam, Rapp noticed that students concocted beverages to help them stay awake to finish term papers, complete research projects, or study for exams.

How many kids, clubbers or ravers have ended up in the ER because they took too many of those or crushed a bunch up and sucked it up their nose?
One pill is something like 2 or 3 cups of coffee. That's already twice as much as in one of these gutrot drinks.
But where's the call to ban them? I guess they just arent the hip topic of the day.
NoDoz, sending kids to the ER for 50 years. 4loko, sending kids to the ER for a year.
Never mind that both are from gross over-consumption thereby making it the fault of the consumer and nobody elses.

Beer and wine are sold everywhere. Gas stations, pharmacys, supermarkets, everywhere.
Liquor is only sold in state licensed liquor stores.
Caffeine is not often found to have significant health benefits, but this may be the case with liver disease. A new study (May 2004) has found a link between caffeine intake and a reduced incidence of liver damage.
Alcohol is a toxic substance to the liver and remains one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease.

Oh wait, it isn't. I guess we need to stop selling energy drinks and alcohol now. I mean, we won't BAN it, we'll just have a state sanctioned bar (with armed guards with powers to override your "rights") with a licensed bartender. And after every drink someone has, they need to take a breathalyzer. If they exceed the determined "safe" limit (to be determined by the state) they are forced to leave.
I mean, how else can we drink safely? Pfft, self control? Fat chance! Come on big brother, come save us! While you do that, please take my rights and money!

Owners of air-cooled Porsche 911s looking for crazy modifications have the privilege of going to Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB) and being offered a wide range of visual treats to suit every desire.
Unfortunately, for owners of modern Porsche sports cars, RWB's expert craftsman Akira Nakai only works on older 911 bodykits. But if RWB were looking to expand, turning attention to the Porsche Cayman could be quite interesting.
The ultimate Cayman is certainly the GT4, unveiled in February last year. Given how limited production of the model will be and how valuable it could prove in coming decades, we can't imagine there being many owners willing to irreversibly mess with stock body panels. Nevertheless, through the wonders of Photoshop, Jonsibal has decided to imagine how a Cayman GT4 with an RWB kit could look.
As with all RWB kits, it consists of flared front and rear wheel arches as well as extended side skirts. The front fascia has also been extensively changed and includes a lowered splitter that almost touches the ground, and two large canards on either side. The changes are completed with a towering rear wing and a set of heavily-dished five-spoke matte bronze wheels.
Will RWB ever offer such a kit for the Cayman GT4? Probably not but other tuners may.

KIKUTI, Ana Lúcia Pereira; MENTEN, José Otávio Machado; MORAES, Maria Heloísa Duarte and OLIVEIRA, Silvia Regina Silva de. Asepsis interference in sweet pepper seeds submitted to an acelerated aging test. Rev. bras. sementes [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.2, pp.44-49. ISSN 0101-3122. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-31222005000200007.
The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of fungi and asepsis interference in sweet pepper seeds submitted to incubation for the accelerated aging test (traditional with salt solution). Samples from five different batches of Magali R cultivar sweet pepper were used, submitted or not to asepsis with 1% NaOCl for three minutes, incubated or not to 41ºC for 72 hours in saturated NaCl solution or water. The assessment was performed by means of germination and health tests (freezing filter paper). The percentage of Aspergillus spp., Rhizopus sp. and Cladosporium sp. fungi, after incubation for the traditional aging test, was higher than the assessment made before the incubation, that did not occur when salt solution was used. The asepsis, when accomplished before the seed incubation, was efficient in minimizing the incidence of Aspergillus spp. The utilization of NaCl solution in substitution to water in the accelerated aging test inhibited the growth of Aspergillus spp., Rhizopus sp. and Cladosporium sp.

Age: 35, Onset: 30. | Symptoms: Intermittent pelvic discomfort/pain (in prostate/bladder area), feeling false need to urinate, weaker stream. Helped by: Began taking Ultracet 1 year after onset, which helped make condition more manageable. Ace Hot/Cold Compression Wrap (I use heat) helps a little. Just found Prosta-Q and will try soon. Makes worse: Stress/anxiety. Bowel movement and urination can stir up symptoms.

The following is by Katya's friend Nocturne, who is gathering information for a paper she's writing, as explained below. We're hoping her questions will generate insightful reflections upon personal experience and lively discussion. If you would like to respond to her questions privately, we'd encourage you to send your answers to "info at zelophehadsdaughters dot com" and we will happily pass them on to her.
Sex, in the biological sense, is the irreducible raw material upon which the social construction of gender is built. The Mormon meaning of gender and gender roles is inextricable from the history of power differential between genders. I am writing a paper on the contradictions that women in the church either have to accept or dismiss, explain away and legitimize or fight against. As women in the church, we are presented with contradictions: on one hand, we are taught that we have agency to act as you feel right, told to get educations, expected to be self-reliant, and held to high spiritual and intellectual standards, but, simultaneously, the church creates the expectation (and, maybe, manipulation) of only choosing one route: married, stay-at-home housewife, mother.
In my experience, when presented with this contradiction, women often choose the cultural expectation and role of married, stay-at-home mom, homemaker even when not sure if this is what they wanted. I find that that path is the most prevalent (please, correct me it I'm wrong).
Why is it that one should win out over the other? How is this contradiction presented so that many do not see it as contradiction or how is it presented so that one seems to win out in actual cultural development? These are the questions that I am concerned with in my paper on woman's gender roles in the modern LDS church. My paper is going to have a similar structure to many works by Eve Sedgwick, which incorporate first person stories into the theoretical framework of her argument. I hope to add other women's stories and experiences as well.
Therefore, I need stories about events/instances when you felt the church's doctrine has been contradictory when it concerns women. Contradictions such as the belief in agency, but the Church having specific expectations; getting an education, but that being seen as secondary to motherhood/less important than male education; desire for a career to make a difference in the world, but being told you should reserve that for your own home, etc. I could use stories about how you have or have not reconciled yourself to these contradictions and how they make you feel.
I am not writing an anti-Mormon paper and I am an active member of the church, in case you are worried. Everyone lives in contraries and contradictions; what differs is the specific set of contradictions we live. I'm trying to explore the contraries and contradictons most Mormon women feel and learn or don't learn to live with. Real names will not be put in the paper.

An institute on shale gas at the University at Buffalo that was criticized last spring for being too close to the industry has been discontinued by the university.
UB President Satish K. Tripathi said the decision to close the Shale Resources and Society Institute stemmed from issues with the institute's inaugural May 2012 report that found environmental problems caused by natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania were isolated, mostly minor and on the decline.
Critics said the report's authors _ Tim Considine and Robert Watson _ were not impartial because they had taken funding earlier to write pro-gas research for Penn State University that university officials later disavowed for crossing the line into advocacy.
Tripathi's announcement Monday prompted this statement from New Yorkers Against Fracking: "We're excited that the University of Buffalo – through the oversight of the SUNY Board of Trustees – has decided that the Shale Institute should be shut down. This is a victory for real science over junk science peddled by the gas industry."
Here is what Tripathi wrote:
Dear University Community:
Issues related to energy and the environment represent a critical, broadly defined area of inquiry in the 21st century, one of tremendous and growing scientific, social, and economic importance. There is therefore a vital need for the highest quality of research, scholarship, and educational initiatives in these areas.
Given our geographic situation as well as our extensive faculty expertise in issues related to energy, water, and the environment, the University at Buffalo is positioned to play a leading research role in these areas. Understanding and addressing these issues effectively therefore requires a program of sufficient scale to encompass the scope and complexities of this topic.
To fulfill UB's mission of academic excellence, it is imperative that our research is of appropriate scope, and that it has strong faculty presence. Moreover, conducting research that has such profound environmental, societal, public health, and economic implications requires that we adhere to the utmost standards of academic integrity and transparency. It must be remembered that the issues associated with natural gas production from shale are broad and complex, with extensive public implications. It is with these considerations in mind that we must assess the mission and practices of the Shale Resources and Society Institute.
After consultation with faculty and our academic administration, Provost Zukoski, Dean Pitman and I concur that:
— Research of such considerable societal importance and impact cannot be effectively conducted with a cloud of uncertainty over its work.
— While UB's policies that govern disclosure of significant financial interests and sources of support are strong and consistent with federal guidelines, these policies are in need of further clarification and because of this lack of clarity were inconsistently applied. (To remedy this, UB has established a committee with participation of the faculty senate with the goal of developing recommendations to strengthen and clarify our policies in these areas.)
— The institute lacks sufficient faculty presence in fields associated with energy production from shale for the institute to meet its stated mission.
— Conflicts-both actual and perceived- can arise between sources of research funding and expectations of independence when reporting research results. This, in turn, impacted the appearance of independence and integrity of the institute's research.
The university upholds academic freedom as a core principle of our institutional mission. With that being said, academic freedom carries with it inherent responsibilities. The Shale Resources and Society Institute's May 15, 2012, report, "Environmental Impacts during Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling: Causes, Impacts, and Remedies," led to allegations questioning whether historical financial interests influenced the authors' conclusions. The fundamental source of controversy revolves around clarity and substantiation of conclusions. Every faculty member has a responsibility to ensure that conclusions in technical reports or papers are unambiguous and supported by the presented data. It is imperative that our faculty members adhere to rigorous standards of academic integrity, intellectual honesty, transparency, and the highest ethical conduct in their work.
Because of these collective concerns, I have decided to close the Shale Resources and Society Institute.
To leverage our university's considerable faculty expertise in the area of energy and the environment and to address these issues with appropriate breadth and complexity, UB will establish a comprehensive program of scholarship and education that addresses issues in this broadly defined area of research. Accordingly, I have asked Provost Zukoski to work with academic deans, the vice president for research and economic development, and the faculty researchers across the disciplines who have expertise in this broad field to create a faculty-driven process that provides appropriate scope and scale for UB's scholarship in energy and environmental sciences.
As a leading research university with a long history of leadership in sustainability, water, and energy-related issues, the University at Buffalo has the potential to be a leading voice in this national and global conversation. Across the disciplines, we have a number of faculty experts who are conducting vital research in these areas. We need to bring these faculty together and harness their intellectual energy in order to address these issues in an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and focused way. UB can be a key institutional leader in this critical field of energy and the environment. To do so, we need to be deliberate and thoughtful, with an eye toward the long-range implications of this research, which has tremendous local, national, and global impact.
And here is what I wrote about the study for the Times Union on May 16, 2012…
BUFFALO — A report by a new natural gas institute at the University of Buffalo concluded Tuesday that environmental problems caused by natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania were isolated, mostly minor and on the decline.
"This study presents a compelling case that state oversight of oil and gas regulation has been effective," said Tim Considine, who wrote the inaugural report for the university's Shale Resources and Society Institute.
The report examined Pennsylvania enforcement records reflecting nearly 3,000 violations on about 3,500 gas wells drilled during the last four years using the technique of natural gas hydrofracking.
Hydrofracking uses a high-pressure blend of chemicals, water and sand injected into gas-bearing rock formations deep underground to free trapped gas and bring it to the surface.
New York has turned into a battleground over whether the technique will be allowed. Opponents claim experiences in Pennsylvania and other states show hydrofracking can pollute water and air, while the industry maintains it is safe when performed properly.
Critics of hydrofracking said the Buffalo study authors have a history of accepting industry funding to produce research that supports fossil fuels, while an industry spokesman praised their latest research as independent.
"Today's independent report again affirms the position of the state's oil and natural gas development experts: the state's current program of regulatory oversight and environmental protection is strong," said Brad Gill, executive director of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York.
An Albany-based environmental group said the study, by examining only reported violations, ignored other troubling issues.
"The report fails to consider other complex problems, such as those related to wastewater treatment and disposal, public health impacts, degraded air quality, and industrialization of communities, among others, all of which cannot be captured by a review of known violations," according to New York Water Rangers, a coalition of anti-fracking groups.
In Pennsylvania, the rate of environmental violations relative to wells drilled has been declining since 2008, when there was a violation for every two wells drilled, the study found. That rate is down to a violation for every four wells drilled this year.
The report found that of 4,000 violations issued by state regulators, only a third were for environmental issues, and the rest were for paperwork shortcomings. Of 845 wells with environmental violations, just 25 cases were "major" violations.
"State regulation coupled with improvements in industry practices results in a low risk of an environmental event occurring in shale development, and risks continue to diminish year after year," said Considine, who heads the Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at the School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming.
Critics of the report said its two principal authors — Considine, who worked at Penn State University before going to Wyoming, and Robert Watson, a retired Penn State professor who has worked in the gas industry — were paid by an industry group for a pro-drilling report three years ago that drew criticism from Penn State for crossing the line from research into advocacy.
Considine and Watson wrote a report touting the benefits of hydrofracking with $100,000 from the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an organization of energy companies that promote drilling.
Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences dean, William Easterling, said at the time the report was presented improperly as a product of the university, and the authors failed to disclose industry funding.

Defender Keen On Carlisle Stay
Sean O'Hanlon was highly praised by Greg Abbott recently, with the Carlisle boss praising the impact he has made since arriving as a free agent following his release by Hibernian.
The 30-year-old, as he told The News & Star, is more than happy playing for The Cumbrians with this fitting in well with his family life too as his family still live in Edinburgh.
First and foremost the defender wants to keep playing football but if a longer-term deal were offered him he would take it. Asked the question he said: 'I would like to, yes. But that's down to the manager. It's not my decision.'
There isn't a need to make an instant decision on O'Hanlon's future, however if he continues to perform as he has thus far I think it's safe to say he'll still be at Brunton Park next season!

Q: Growing Strawberries in Gutters?
On May 27, 2017, Marlene asked:
I have seen pictures of strawberries grown in gutters. I think people are growing strawberries in gutters so they are off the ground so the rain and soil don't rot them. They are cleaner and look beautiful. Do you have any information on this method? I want to transplant my strawberries into this system. They don't do as good when they are on the ground. My old raised beds, the wood has rotted and I need to move them soon. Plus, I have the strawberries with the runners. If I do it in an "A" structure I would cut the runners off. Put one gutter on the top of the "A" and two gutters down the sides of the "A" and so forth. Have you seen this done? I would really like to try it for this summer. How would I deal with the plants through the winter. Take the structure apart and store the plants in my basement? I would want to save them some how for the next year.

Text Wranglers
Madeleine Robins February 24th, 2008
You write your story or novella or book alone. You might get criticism–excellent or otherwise–from Beta readers or workshops, but the hard work of putting words on paper is done by you and you alone. (Let's not spin into the question of collaboration. I'm trying to make a point here.) So say you send the story or book off to a publisher somewhere and–Glory of Glories!–they accept it. From that point on, for better or worse, you're hip deep in collaboration.
Writing is a solitary occupation. Publication is a group exercise.
First, there's your editor, who will read your text and perhaps have questions or problems, and want you to address them. There are as many ways to edit a book as there are editors; some closely line edit, others look at the big picture, some have quirks, even as you have quirks (c'mon, you know you do). Working with an editor is a negotiation: Editor may want to change something you don't want to change, and if that happens, you need to be able to explain the why of it. Standing up and saying "It's my story and I don't wanna" won't cut it. Besides, the editor is trying to help you clarify your ideas and make the story easier for the reader to get into. This is a good thing. A good editor is a gift above rubies.
That's one. Then, when you and the Editor are happy with the text, it goes to the copyeditor. If a good editor is above rubies, a good copyeditor is a gift above…I dunno. Enriched plutonium, maybe? A copyeditor finds all the potentially embarrassing misspellings, grammatical flaws, errors of fact, inconsistencies in the text, and points them out so that you can fix them. If your character had green hair on page 7 and red hair on page 52, and no visit to the Beauty Parlor in between, the copyeditor will query it. There are copyeditors who are intrusive (I have heard tales of horror about a copyeditor who, not understanding the tropes of science fiction, changed things around because there was no such thing as faster-than-light travel) and copyeditors who are inflexible, but there are many good copyeditors, and some are truly brilliant. Copyediting is an immensely complicated dance between absolute correction (it's "accommodate", not "acommodate"), flexibility (you can use "gray" or "grey," but it has to be consistent) and eidetic memory (Query: on page 17 Flaviola is princess; on page 38 she's a baroness. ??), and it helps if the copyeditor has a real devotion to language and story. Not everyone can be a copywriter.
So you get your copyedit back, you grimace a little at some things, you make corrections, explain why you really meant Faster-than-Light and stet those corrections, and return the manuscript to your editor. In the olden days there would be a typesetter who keystroked the book; these days, in most cases, things are done via computer, and you may be asked for a textfile, which can then be formatted.
That's another thing, the formatting. In the early days of POD books rolled off the press looking pretty much like a Xerox of a page printed from Microsoft Word–clean, perhaps, but without art. When your book is copyedited, or perhaps while it's being copyedited, it's also being designed by a person who can balance the complicated issues of type size, readability, page count, unit cost, and still–one hopes–come up with a look that somehow reflects the content and mood of the book. There's a certain amount of juju in book design–I've seen a really good designer pick up a manuscript, heft it, and predict the page count on the basis of weight alone. So there's another collaborator you didn't even think about.
So your work has been designed and typeset. Now you and a proofreader each get a copy of the galley (that's the typeset text) to go over for errors that might have occurred in the inputting of the copyediting corrections or in the setting of the type. A copyeditor may still find things to query (I've done so) but at this point it's mostly a matter of cleaning things up and making sure that the computer hasn't dumped a bunch of weird code in the middle of your pivotal battle scene. Like copyeditors, proofreaders have an eye–and a passion–for language and its rules, and a memory like sprung steel.
Those are the text wranglers, your collaborators who help turn your work from words on a page to a book or story. You may not love it when one of them questions what you've done, but they're working for the good of your words.
Robert Legault, sometime Managing Editor at Tor Books and lifelong text wrangler, died last week. The world of writing and publishing and words is poorer. Those of us who will never have him work on a book of ours have lost out. So my point is, no one does this publishing alone, and if you're lucky enough to find a good Text Wrangler, cherish him or her. Tell your editor if you get a good copyedit, or if you love the design of your book. Your collaborators in the process don't get a lot of feedback, and they truly appreciate it when someone notices their part.

American, 1882-1925
In the Studio
Gift of Mrs. S. C. Walbridge, 1933.49
This cross-section of the Bellows residence includes the artist (shown painting his wife) as well as his two children, mother-in-law (who is talking on the telephone), and maid. His lithographer, George Miller, works upstairs. A more private scene than his usual representations of city life, In the Studio contains tiny details of the artist's home and work life that encourage careful looking.
A relatively young George Bellows found himself firmly established in the art world by the winter of 1916, when this print was executed. Though his paintings had achieved significant recognition, Bellows began to create both original prints and ones replicating his previous paintings to enable more widespread viewing of his works. Shortly after purchasing a lithography press for printmaking in his own home, Bellows sent out versions of this print in Christmas cards to family and friends offering the audience of his work a glimpse into the artist's private life and material success.

When I got back, I wrote a furious letter to the TA owner. Never got a reply. Never dealt with them again.
The scarey thing was that I had been using this TA company for years. They just hired someone new who screwed up.
I have no idea whether they had any fashion sense.....didn't care.
A company is only as good as the people that work for them and that person has cost the TA company one loyal customer and maybe others.
