No longer are kitchens small, dank spaces relegated to the backs of houses. These days, kitchens stand proudly visible and unwalled beside living and dining areas, announced with welcoming island counters fronting sleek appliances. Dinner parties gravitate towards them where invitees chat over drinks and canapes prepared right before them—or with them. Only when the clock strikes dinner hour does the crowd migrate to the dining table or outdoor patio for a more formal, sit-down occasion.
After all, food can nourish more than just the body. In Asian cultures, meals are often made up of different dishes meant for sharing rather than as stand-alones. In these meals, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—especially when the underlying meaning is taken into account. Traditionally, however, the preparation is a far lonelier process behind the scenes as a silent form of expressing love in Asian culture, as Selina Tay, the founder of Collective Designs, believes.
"Most conservative Asian families don't do hugs or show affection physically; they display their care and love through food," the principal designer says.
An eight-course meal from a Michelin-starred restaurant still lacks the luxury of returning to home-cooked dishes after a long day of work, for what the dishes contain is secondary; the main ingredient is love.
Coronation West by Collective Designs
The perception of food as more than just physical nutrition, coupled with modernisation, has naturally thrown more focus on kitchen spaces, shaping them to carry dual purposes as social and living spaces. This was, in fact, the exact request by the owners of a house at Coronation West—they wanted to be able to spend time together in the kitchen. This called for an overhaul of the formerly dark, small and isolated space into a freshly lit area, which encourages the family to connect here through preparing and consuming food and drinks.
Coronation West by Collective Designs
This acceptance, and even expectation of kitchens carrying dual roles, comes especially timely in light of the shrinking Singaporean home. Keeping the space open and spacious becomes a priority, fitted with efficiently designed appliances.
"We have designed many open-concept kitchens which integrates from or into the living and dining area to enhance the space visually, especially in apartments," Selina says.
Through more than 1,000 project and over a decade of experience, Selina keeps by the principle of flow, utilising her broad knowledge of materials to achieve sustainability and compatibility whilst meeting the needs and preferences of each home. Existing spaces are maximised in a marriage of art and function that prioritises natural light and air.

The transformation of kitchens into social spaces can be more than integrated dry kitchens, as in case of a heritage house on Meyer Road, which had their outhouse at the rear of the house demolished to create a separate glassed 1,100sq ft kitchen space that can host up to 35 guests comfortably.
Meyer Road by Collective Designs
Constructed entirely of glass panels on three sides, this space can be accessed from the main house via a little staircase and doorway. With a soaring pitched roof, timbre beams and surrounding view of greenery and the sky, the space boasts dining experiences carrying the style of fine dining infused with the comfort and warmth of home.
Meyer Road by Collective Designs
As the co-partner of Mudian Crafted, a kitchen and wardrobe specialist, and the author of a book focused on her custom-designed kitchens, Selina's Dream Kitchens, It may come as no surprise that Selina is an avid cook and foodie herself. To her, the kitchen "is a place in any home to be inspired."
And it should be. It isn't just food that simmers there, but also conversation and creation, brewed into a warm concoction of memory and kinship every day. That's what fills a house with the smell of home, isn't it?

Osama and Obama - Comrades in Arms
In another era or alternate universe, Osama Bin Laden (OBL) and Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) could have met on the basketball court or the soccer field. They might have come away from a game high-fiving and drinking the local brew or smoking weed. OBL and BHO may have become chums, rather than deadly enemies. Fighting on the world stage of sabotage and espionage, drones and destruction, war and waste.
It just didn't work out that way. Maybe because - in my imaginings - key leaders in the world's great confrontations over the centuries just keep repeating old battles. General George "Blood and Guts" Patton consciously recalled his fighting in the days of Hannibal and the Carthaginian Wars. How many of our great and not-so great warriors of ancient times have come back again and again to fight more battles? Wouldn't it be great if they could be re-trained into other occupations. But sadly, the military and martial fields always have vacancies.
Fairly recently, it seemed like there was a family feud - passed down from the Crusades or the like - going on between the Husseins and the Bushs for much of two decades. Saddam tried to put a hit out on George HW. Little George eventually went in to Iraq, "kicked butt," and had the old dictator hanged. This must have been some sort of replay from past times.
Little George intended to take Osama Bin Laden out early on. He got distracted with Saddam and had to pass on that task to Barry Obama. After two years in office, BHO watched like a basketball fan via satellite hookup as US Navy Seals with helmet video cameras blew away OBL. It took ten years, but one of our presidents got a bird's eye view of the slaughter of Bad Boy Osama.
I did the horoscopes of these two world players as the last of 40 in my recent book on Pictorial Astrology. The progression in the book led to Osama and Obama. I called those two chapters Fated Adversary and The American Messiah. The final words of the chapter on OBL reads, "Osama's newest nemesis may or may not be a match for him. His name is Obama."
Now, we know. But, the story has not really ended. Just a chapter completed. Read on for more of the story.
Part II
Outwardly, it is clear that Obama met the Osama challenge which GWB left unaccomplished. Let's consider some angles which brought the O Men "together" at this time. They have/had many similarities.
• Both Osama and Obama are messiah types. Astrologer Mark Lerner has called OBL "an englamored messiah figure." His life path, based on birth 3-10-1957 (3-1-4), is an 8. The figure 8 says a lot about both Osama and Obama. It symbolizes a lot of things including "messiahhood."
On a trip to Africa in 2006 with BHO, a documentary videographer reflected, "It's like the messiah has returned." Obama's numbers are 8-4-8. He has Neptune at 8 degrees of Scorpio not far from his Midheaven. Obama also has several other 8s strategically placed in his chart. To top things off, BHO is also America's 44th president.
• Osama has a plethora of planets - hinting at his "calling" - at his Midheaven in Aquarius and Pisces. These largely oppose Obama's stellium of Leo and Virgo luminaries. There are some hints in a comparison chart to suggest how BHO was able to trump BSO - without the Donald's help.
• Back to commonalities. Both OBL and BHO are nominal (at least in name) Muslims. Many Americans think Obama is a Muslim. There is a grain of truth there. His father came from a Muslim background. Both father and son have Hussein as middle names, which connects them back to Saddam Hussein energetically if not otherwise. But then, we are all connected in many ways.
Osama was a renegade, jihadist type of Muslim who used his religion to support his radical ideas. With long and widespread effect. Think how the world has changed since 911.
• My favorite way to look at Osama and Obama is through their names. Well, you say, "Everyone has thought about that."
Maybe and maybe not. With their names, the two have similar personality energies. Just as Obama has connection and similarity with Saddam Hussein through name vibration.
The most fascinating thing about names comes when comparing Osama with the USA. We do this by using an alternate spelling of OBL's first name USAMA.
Isn't it amazing that Usama Bin Laden had his enemy "hidden in plain sight" in his own first name. Osama, Usama or USAma. It is right in broad view - the United States of AMericA was born inside of OBL in 1957.
When Bin Laden took on the USA, he was really fighting himself. He killed himself in his holy war - parts of himself. Until he himself was destroyed by other parts of USAma. A whole book is written in Bin Laden's first name.
Usama Bin Laden tried to destroy the USAma. He succeeded. But, not quite in the way he imagined.
Now that Osama/Usama has left the outer scene, I believe we, the bigger USAma, need to be careful that we don't make the same mistakes Bin Laden made. By becoming invested, enthralled in the fighting external enemies - real and imagined.
Surely, we are our own worst enemy. That is the case for all us, just as it was for Usama Bin Laden.
• A Final Note: Astrologically, it looks like this could be a tough summer for the USA and President Obama especially around BHO's birthday. Solar return charts (2011) for the country and president are stressful to say the least.
• PS I have to wonder if, in some ways, Colonel Gaddafi may pick up the mantle which Bin Laden left. A variation on Gaddafi's first name is Moamma.
Very Interesting!

VIP ballooning in the morning
Posted Wednesday, April 30th, 2014
Hot Air Ballooning at its most intimate.
A hot air balloon over the Hunter Valley for just you and your partner – does it get any more romantic than this? We don't do too many of these. Tomorrow we will be flying high above the valley with just a young couple and the pilot. Bubbles and chocolate in the air, a video of the whole morning and more photos than you can shake a stick at. On landing they will be treated to a great breakfast at the Mercure Resort before being taken back to their hotel.
We always look forward to these flights, as it's a chance to get our little balloon out the box and have some fun. Stay posted – there might be some more pics up in the morning.

Dissolving Ozone
Dissolved ozone is used industrially in many applications, including
drinking water treatment, soil and ground water remediation and
sterilization of medical instruments. Dissolved ozone is highly oxidizing, which makes it efficient at killing pathogens and removing
water contaminants. Current methods for measuring dissolved ozone
are designed for ultra-pure water, require the user to manually collect
samples and mix reagents and/or are susceptible to interferences in
"dirty" water. 2B Technologies Inc.'s Model UV-106-W Aqueous
Ozone Monitors avoid these limitations by using patent-pending
MicroSparge technology in conjunction with UV absorption. Due to
the lack of membranes, cuvettes or other consumables, the product
is low maintenance and inexpensive to operate. Users can control
measurement frequency with a choice of 10 sec, 1 min, 5 min and 1
hr averaging times. Internal logging enables data recording of up to
16,368 lines of data.
◗ 2B Technologies Inc., www.twobtech.com
Small Things Matter
Poor liquid chromatography (LC) connections are a common problem for users, as traditional fittings require skill and experience to
make successfully. Agilent Technologies' Agilent A-Line Quick
Connect Fitting helps ensure users continually get maximum productivity from their LC systems. The only true finger-tight UHPLC
fittings, the technology is stable to 1,300 bar and can be re-used without loss of performance. The innovative spring-loaded design pushes
the capillary tubing against the receiving port for zero dead volume
connections with all types of HPLC and UHPLC columns. An easy-to-use lever enables chromatographers to get a consistent leak-free
connection for optimal results.
◗ Agilent Technologies, www.agilent.com
Enhancing Column Lifetimes
Since their introduction in 2007, superficially porous particles
(SSPs)—a new type of particle for HPLC that yields better chromatographic performance than totally porous particle-based HPLC
columns—were silica-based and couldn't be used in high-pH mobile
phases due to silica dissolution. However, chromatographers desired
the flexibility of using mobile phases in a wide pH range on a single column to adjust selectivity. Meeting chromatographers needs,
Agilent Technologies' Poroshell HPH-C18 and HPH-C8—the
first high-pH-stable SPPs—give chromatographers the ability to run
analyses in a wider pH range, including high pH conditions, and still
enjoy the ultra-high performance and low backpressures from SPPs.
Anton Paar GmbH's Humidity Option CTD 180 is a special acces-sory for Anton Paar's MCR rheometer series that enables users tocontrol the humidity and temperature around the sample, simultane-ously, when performing rheological or DMA measurements, prevent-ing sample drying. The humidity option for the CTD 180 consists ofa specially tailored humidity generator for setting the relative humid-ity in the temperature device up to 95%, depending on the actualtemperature. The humidity sensor, which can be immersed into thetemperature device at one of the front windows, gives feedback to thehumidity controller and transfers the data to the rheometer software.
A water tank is part of the humidity generator to feed the dry gas up
to the required water content. The design of the convection oven is
optimized for the work with high humidity and prevents cold spots,
which could turn the wet air back into water.
◗ Anton Paar GmbH, www.anton-paar.com
DANI Instruments' DANI PeakBlade 77 is a new concept in GCxGC
modulation. Without using liquid nitrogen, PeakBlade 77 is able to
reach down to 77 K, opening analysis of the most demanding molecules and allowing fast chromatography and sharp peaks. PeakBlade
77 "cuts" chromatographic peaks to unfold their complexity and
allows comprehensive insight into sample composition. Driven by an
innovative cryo-cooler system, a cold tip connects to the cryo-focus-ing area of the GCxGC system, allowing an effective focusing process
inside the GC oven. The system features an innovative heater design,
which allows ultra-fast vaporization of cryo-focused molecules,
resulting in ultra-narrow peak bandwidth.
◗ DANI Instruments, www.danispa.it
Streamlining Water Quality
Hach Company's Hach SL1000 is a portable instrument that streamlines water quality testing. By inventing a specialized reagent delivery
system (Chemkey Reagents) and combining an electrochemistry
meter and colorimeter into one instrument, users can now test up to
six water quality parameters simultaneously, with improved accuracy,
in a fraction of the time needed before. Delivering faster, more accurate results can be the difference between catching a water-quality
event before or after it occurs; and if the event is caught too late, millions of people may be impacted. Furthermore, the SL1000 reduces
municipalities "non-revenue" water by limiting or eliminating distribution system flushing events. In a time when the Western U.S.
is under critical drought conditions, the reduction in "lost" water is
essential to municipalities.
◗ Hach Company, www.hach.com
Label-Free Measurement
As the only label-free measurement technique that can simultaneously determine all binding parameters in a single experiment, isothermal titration calorimeters (ITC) have become essential tools for drug
design and the study and regulation of protein interactions.
Malvern's MicroCal PEAQ-ITC systems now also deliver the enhanced
functionality and robust performance required for routine use. They
provide exceptional sensitivity and excellent data quality at high
speed. The new instrument control software and data analysis package delivers accessibility to life science users at every level, ensuring
intuitive operation and confident interpretation even by non-experts.
Options for full automation with the MicroCal PEAQ-ITC Automated offer, for the first time, quicker screening, faster hit validation and
greater laboratory efficiency.

We use MongoDB as our primary store and have built a healthy amount of automation around various database instances and operational environments. For example, we backup databases to S3 using
mongodump, mirror data between instances with
mongorestore and often need to open a MongoDB shell with
mongo to examine data at the lowest level.
Generating MongoDB command-lines is tedious and error-prone. Introducing a new gem called mongoid-shell to help with this. The library can generate command-lines for various MongoDB shell tools from your Mongoid configuration.
For example, connect to your production MongoDB instance from a
db:production:shell Rake task.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Commands can be created for the current default session or you can pass a session as an argument to a new command.
1 2 3 4 5 6
Commands accept parameters. Here's how to backup
my_database to
1 2 3 4 5
The mongoid-shell gem currently supports
mongorestore and
mongostat and various MongoDB configurations, including replica-sets.
Please note that we don't recommend you store passwords for production environments in your
mongoid.yml. At Artsy, we set all sensitive values directly on our Heroku instances with
heroku config:add and use heroku-commander to retrieve these settings in rake. We also have a bit of convention in our application name, such as "app-staging" and "app-production".
Here's a complete Rake task that dynamically fetches Heroku configuration and opens a MongoDB shell on a production or staging environment.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
rake db:staging:shell or
rake db:production:shell, which works as long as you have access to the Heroku app itself. A bonus feature is that the mongoid-shell gem will automatically connect to the primary node of a replica-set.

Sep.26 (GMM) Stefano Domenicali has refused to rule out finding a place at Ferrari for another driver in 2013.Fernando Alonso is signed up long beyond next season, but his current teammate Felipe Massa will be out of contract at the end of 2012.At the front of the queue are the two drivers heading up Ferrari's so-called driver 'academy': French GP2 driver Jules Bianchi and 2011 Sauber rookie Sergio Perez.Asked about Ferrari's driver plans for Bianchi and Perez in 2013, Domenicali said in Singapore: "For 2013? Ah yes. Bianchi is a great talent and he had a positive season in GP2 but he needs to grow and gain experience next season."I cannot say now where he will be," the Italian told Spanish sports daily Marca, "but for sure we want to invest because we believe in him."As for Sergio, he has a contract with Sauber and he also has to grow. It is best not to put any goals at this time. May both of them have a good 2012," added Domenicali.Meanwhile, the Italian was asked how much he worries about the rumours Flavio Briatore is waiting in the wings to be the next Ferrari team principal.Making a circular motion with his fingers, he said: "Zero!"

ONE Championship – Ascent To Power
With not one, but two Championship Title Fights I knew this would be a great show for capturing pinnacle moments in the history of ONE Championship. It did not dispoint with the Main Event of Angela Lee Vs Mei Yamaguchi being one of the best WMMA Fights of all time. 25minutes of action with the power switching back and forth between these two provided a wealth of great photo opportunities. This is why you always need to have plenty of spare memory cards, batteries and cameras in reserve to grab at a moments notice.
It's always best to be overprepared for a long and hectic event because you never want to miss capturing a special moment like this.

Welcome to SmithvilleChurch.orgA WEBSITE DESIGNED TO BE A RESOURCE OF CHURCH BULLETIN ARTICLES
Nurturing people in the image of God since 1868. POB 397/520 Dry Creek Rd./Smithville, TN
Someone noted this similarity between playing bagpipes and throwing a javelin blindfolded, "you don't have to be good to get everyone's attention!" What kind of person gets your attention? The Bible tells us the kind of person kings and other prominent people are searching for in proverbs 22: 9, "Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men." Cream rises to the top, and excellence in work and character stands out like a diamond in the mud. First Timothy 3:13 reveals that God honors deacons who are committed to excellence in their work for Him, "Those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus," Deacons, as well as other disciples of Jesus, can serve well, or be guilty of serving God in less than excellent ways. A lack of excellence in our work for God will not please Him. Jeremiah 48:10 reveals the seriousness of serving God in a shoddy and less than excellent way: "A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work" (NIV). The New American Standard Bible renders this verse, "Cursed be the one who does the LORD'S work negligently." Elders, preachers, deacons, song leaders, Bible class teachers, yes- every Christian at every position of service to God - can serve well, or we can serve poorly. We can excel, or we can be lax and negligent.
Mark 7: 34 says about Jesus, "He has done all things well," revealing that Jesus was committed to excellence in His service to God and to us. A Lord who did His best for us deserves the best we can do for Him. A church cannot excel unless the members who make it up are devoted to excellence. How excellent are you in living, loving, giving, forgiving, attending, worship, praying, teaching, and serving? John Gardner said something worth considering about excellence, "The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is in an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water" (Leadership magazine, Summer, 1993). Nor will the notion that we can scorn excellence and tolerate shoddiness in our service to God! If you want to hear God say, "Well done, good and faithful servant," you must commit yourself to doing well and being faithful and being a servant. The church excels in service to God when her members do. Anything less than excellence is less than God deserves.

The palace of Mysore which is presently standing is probably the fourth generation of the structure that has been built on the same foundation of earlier palaces, which were destroyed due to various catastrophic causes. Only thing that did not change is the name- Mysore Palace. The original fort was built early as 1574 CE, which is believed to have constructed under Chamaraja Wodayar IV, the then ruler of Mysore.
The present palace was built in the year 1912 under Vani Vilas Sannidhana, queen of ChamarahaWodeyar X, who commissioned the British architect Henry Irwin to build the palace. This palace stands grandly with a combination of Hindu, Muslim as well as Gothic hybrid style of architecture. It is a three storied stone structure with marble domes and a 145 ft five-storied tower.
The entrance of the palace has a Doll's pavilion, which has a collection of Indian and European sculptures and ceremonial objects. Towards the south of the palace there is a splendid Kalyana mandapa or a wedding pavilion, decorated with beautiful multi-colored stained glass with peacock motifs. The floor shines with tiles brought from England. The second floor of the palace has a grand Durbar hall which is around 155ft long and 42ft broad. The walls here have murals of the eight avatars of Devi Shakti, and paintings that depict the scenes of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The 12 temples surrounding the compoundadds up to the grandeur of the palace.

July 16, Goldenrod Update
For those of you wanting to know how the crew is getting along with Goldenrod...she was launched two days ago. However, the crew determined that the front end was a bit overloaded. And, the front arm was not as stable as they would like. So, the past day and a half has been spent on removing part of the front anchor system (starboard anchor still intact), and further stabilizing and reinforcing the front arm. One thing my Dad is known for is reinforcing the foundation (it's the engineer in him). More pics and information to come soon. And, gold to be found!

Admit it: The ruckus surrounding the Steven Slater incident is starting to wear thin. We now know what brand of beer he grabbed before he slid to infamy (Blue Moon—a respectable choice). Passengers are offering wildly conflicting accounts of what actually happened onboard. The real coup de grace is that Slater is apparently mulling over a reality TV offer. All of this is fun media fodder, but means little from a traveler's perspective.
But one question lingers that does have meaning for travelers: What, if anything, does this incident say about JetBlue? AdvertisingAge, a magazine that covers marketing and advertising trends, poses exactly that question in an article titled "Turbulence at 10: Has JetBlue Become Just Another Airline?"
The gist of the article is that the shine has worn off JetBlue's brand, and that the Slater incident highlights just how regular the airline has become. Ten years after launching with innovative features such as seatback TVs and leather seats in coach, AdAge argues JetBlue has sagged under market pressures and a strong competitive environment. In some respects—in-flight Wi-Fi is a glaring example—JetBlue has fallen behind the curve, especially when compared to start-up Virgin America and all its JetBlue-esque bells and whistles.
Airline analyst Henry Harteveldt tells AdAge, "[JetBlue is] 10 years old, and the bloom is at least partially off the rose. Like any business that ages, JetBlue has to figure out what it wants to be."
Of course, what JetBlue currently is really isn't that bad. Its coach-class product is still considered tops in the industry. Its customer service reputation remains strong. Its fleet is young. Fares are reasonable. Fees are tolerable.
But it's easier to surge ahead than it is to stay there. Starting fresh, JetBlue had the opportunity to take the best of the industry, discard the worst, and figure out how to make it work. As an established carrier, however, innovation is not so simple. "Can JetBlue maintain its promise of bringing humanity back to air travel?" Harteveldt asks. "First, it has to redefine what that promise is. When it launched, it was pace-setting, but compared to Virgin America, it's not. JetBlue hasn't evolved, and it needs to, because this is a wake-up call."
I don't think JetBlue has become just another airline, nor do I think the Slater incident reflects on JetBlue's corporate culture specifically. The airline industry, like any business, is full of people who have simply had enough. Slater's outburst seems symptomatic of the stresses of the job, namely long hours, rude passengers, and, in many cases, poor pay and fragile job security. Slater may have his own gripes with JetBlue itself, but I doubt they're different from what you'd find at other carriers.
Still, I think it's wise to phrase Slater's actions as a "wake-up call." JetBlue is still an industry leader in terms of customer service, in-flight amenities, and value. If it has fallen short of expectations of late, it's only because it set the bar so high to begin with. And yet, it's a quick slide to the middle of the pack. As Virgin America grows and other airlines adopt JetBlue's best ideas, the quirky airline may quickly find itself anonymous.
Readers, do you think the Slater incident reflects poorly on JetBlue? Do you think JetBlue has slipped in recent years? Or do you think it still leads the way in terms of quality and value?

Calgary Information
The largest city in Canada's province of Alberta, Calgary, is situated on the edge of the prairie and the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Calgary is known today for its festivals, its nearness to the mountain resort towns of Jasper and Banff as well as for its hosting of the Winter Olympics of 1988 and some major Olympic events of in 2010's Winter Olympics held in Vancouver. Considered as the gateway to the Rockies in Canada, Calgary is a vibrant municipality that is a commercial hub for the country.
A scenic city and skyline, the urban center grew quickly and was successful largely because of the oil industry. In the early 1900s, some oil was found. Then in 1947, the vast deposits were located and the industry began in earnest.
Of course, the story of Calgary starts before the 1900s. Indigenous people lived in the area for centuries, and Europeans passed through and eventually settled in the late 1800s. Track and train service was established in the 1880s. Still, real growth happened after the year 1900. Oil made Calgary a boom town, and an exciting sporting event started in 1912 that is still widely popular today. The Calgary Stampede began that year and remains an exciting rodeo and agricultural show.
The steady expansion has continued into recent years. In the 2000s, land annexation brought further hamlets and towns within the city limits of Calgary. Additionally, the city is part of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor, and the city is less than 200 miles from Edmonton to its north.
Now, the location of Calgary in southern Alberta experiences changeable weather. Still, most often the dry climate provides short summers with temperatures averagely ranging between 46 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are long and the daytime high temperatures are regularly near 30 degrees.
The weather extremes do not seem to have any negative influence over the spirit of Calgary, a city with much to offer. The oil industry and the railway are still top employers who provide jobs for citizens. The city has parks as well as restaurant, shopping, and theatre districts. Additionally, the natural heavenly phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, illuminates the sky on some clear evenings, and sometimes it is visible with the nighttime cityscape of Calgary. The spectacular natural show of lights show is quite amazing to witness. Photographs cannot fully do justice the Aurora scenes in the sky.

It's time for this state to close the achievement gap
Washington state has the unfortunate distinction of being a state where the academic achievement gap is growing in key areas for African-American and Latino students. The sobering reality here is that these students are twice as likely to drop out of high school before completing their degree.
As business leaders working within our communities to raise the level of education excellence, we see the human toll behind these statistics. High school dropouts earn less money and are more susceptible to poverty and unemployment. This breeds the hopelessness that comes with limited opportunities in a world that is demanding higher work skills linked to math, science, and technology.
The good news is that we have the opportunity for positive change during the current legislative session. The $4.3 billion federal competitive grant — Race to the Top — provides us with such an opportunity. These funds are part of the federal stimulus package and are specifically designed to drive education reform across the country.
Why Race to the Top?
Race to the Top moves the focus away from resources (how much we spend) and onto outcomes (how well our students are learning). The goal is success for every student. That's why we're committed to education reform efforts that ensure student achievement data are included in teacher evaluation and that we have a strong system that holds schools accountable for results.
The four areas Race to the Top focuses on — effective teachers and principals, turning around low-performing schools, better data systems and higher standards — are the fundamentals for improving our education system, and implementing last year's Basic Education Reform law (House Bill 2261).
Race to the Top funds could mean between $150 million and $250 million in new funding that could jumpstart the innovations that our schools need. Even without a single Race to the Top dollar, these reforms are necessary to ensure all students receive a quality education.
The status quo is not acceptable, and here is why:
• The gap in National Assessment of Educational Progress math scores between low-income students and non-income students is growing. It is now 28 points, which is almost three years. This gap is the 12th largest in the country.
• On 8th grade math, Washington is one of nine states where the white/African American achievement gap is growing, and one of seven states where the white/Hispanic achievement gap is growing.
If we're serious about increasing student achievement, closing the achievement gap and being competitive for Race to the Top funds, we need to make the following changes this legislative session:
• Washington needs to ensure that every student has highly effective teachers. Getting there will require a willingness to change and innovate.
• Boost the effectiveness of all teachers through meaningful evaluations that are based on multiple measures of teacher effectiveness — with effect on student academic growth accounting for at least 50 percent of the evaluation.
• Based on what we learn through the evaluations, we need to make hard decisions: Support effective teachers, mentor struggling teachers and dismiss ineffective teachers.
• Provide extra pay for teachers who work in high poverty, high minority or low-achieving schools, or hard-to-staff subject areas, and who demonstrate effectiveness — closing the achievement gap, raising student performance — in low-achieving schools.
• We also need to make sure all of our students are held to high standards, and that a high school diploma means students are prepared for the challenges of college and the workplace.
• Parents, teachers and students must begin to do a better job of leveraging the educational support resources required to help bring these low-performing students up to par and above.
Gov. Chris Gregoire and the state Legislature must ensure we have the strongest Race to the Top application possible. It's the right thing to do for our kids and our state.

If you are just starting out, we classify
you as a beginner. You should check out our beginner
info, as well as look over our calendar for the year.
Or just come out and see
for yourself -- visitors are always welcome.
is our course schedule for our beginner programs in 2005.
Please feel free to contact
us for more information.
one of these programs is offered in a variety of time slots.
The beginner programs occur once each week, at the same
time of the same day each week. This ensures that you will
develop with the same group of peers, and that you will
always have some other beginners to fence with.
The regular
classes are when most of our members come out. There
are both beginner and novice level classes available. If
you want to come earlier in the day, the private
program is designed for you. It is more intense, like
a personal trainer, and you can develop as much or as little
as you like.

We at the Beaches Sabre Club are dedicated
to providing education and training to fencers of all levels.
We want everyone in Toronto to get a chance to try out this
fun and exciting sport. We also strive to provide excellent
facilities for Canada's best athletes to come and improve
themselves. We are open to all kinds of different training
plans and will gladly co-operate with any athlete. Please
take a look at our schedules and calendars
and see if there is something that we can do for you.

If you have already passed an introductory
course in fencing, we classify you as a novice fencer. We
provide courses at a variety of levels to match your experience
in fencing. Basically, we will evaluate your fencing and
design a schedule that best suits your needs and timetable.
You have things to learn both from our beginner
program and from our advanced class.
You will have opportunities to participate in both programs
and grow into a full-fledged fencer. Come out and see for
yourself -- visitors are always welcome.
novice classes are held during the regular evening time slots, as well as on Saturday.
Either you will be tagging along with a more advanced class
or a separate class will be held for the novice fencers
in attendance. This is mostly dependant on the number of
instructors and novices attending. An outline of the schedule
classes run year round. We stop occasionally for holidays
and training camps but
other than that it's "neither sleet nor hail nor
.." well, you know the rest.
to top
you are already a recreational or competitive fencer with
at least a year of experience, we consider you to be a general
or advanced level fencer. This is the "meat and potatoes"
of any fencing club and we would be proud to add you to
our ranks. Our advanced classes are run mostly during weekday
evenings and are run by a level 3 or level 4 NCCP Fencing
Master. We have some top
ranked athletes for you to hone your skills against
during the free fencing segment of the evening. We also
offer private lessons with our Masters each night; but first
you have to survive our group footwork and bladework drills.
We are proud to say that we haven't had any casualties yet
and we don't intend to start. Come out and see for yourself
-- visitors are always welcome.
Our advanced classes are held every weeknight and are run
by a Fencing Master. There is also an advanced class held
on Saturday afternoons that is run by a level 2 instructor.
While we deal primarily in sabre, we can make accommodations
for foil and epee fencers as well.
also have a new private
program that allows beginner and novice fencers to take
a lesson whenever they want.

"Leaky gut" is a layman's term and won't appear in any medical journal. Try searching for 'increased intestinal permeability' and you shouldn't have trouble finding about a thousand studies. If you understand how the intestinal barrier works, the possibility of "leaky gut" shouldn't seem that far-fetched given mainstream lifestyle (think stress) and dietary habits. It can be measured fairly easily with one of a variety of simple tests.
