- Abstract:
- Glacierized change in the Himalayas affects river-discharge, hydro-energy and agricultural production, and Glacial Lake Outburst Flood potential, but its quantification and extent of impacts remains highly uncertain. Here we present conservative, comprehensive and quantitative predictions for glacier area and meltwater flux changes in Bhutan, monsoonal Himalayas. In particular, we quantify the uncertainties associated with the glacier area and meltwater flux changes due to uncertainty in climate data, a critical problem for much of High Asia. Based on a suite of gridded climate data and a robust glacier melt model, our results show that glacier area and meltwater change projections can vary by an order of magnitude for different climate datasets. However, the most conservative results indicate that, even if climate were to remain at the present-day mean values, almost 10% of Bhutan's glacierized area would vanish and the meltwater flux would drop by as much as 30%. Under the conservative scenario of an additional 1°C regional warming, glacier retreat is going to continue until about 25% of Bhutan's glacierized area will have disappeared and the annual meltwater flux, after an initial spike, would drop by as much as 65%.

I had a wonderful plate of shrimp linguine the other night at a buffet restaurant. The pasta was topped with grape tomatoes, sliced red onions, spinach or basil, shrimp, and was topped with shredded cheese. I made mental notes, hoping that I could replicate it at home. I have to admit that I'm not very good at this sort of thing. I can follow a recipe with ease, and even substitute things with success, but trying to duplicate something like this from scratch is a new venture.
The sauce was a stumper; it wasn't a tomato sauce or a cream sauce. It was more like an oil-based sauce, and the tomatoes had obviously been marinating in the sauce for awhile - biting into them had been a delicious surprise.
After thinking for a few days and letting some ideas marinate in my mind (excuse the pun), I wondered if Italian dressing would work? So I halved the tomatoes and chopped the other veggies and let them marinate in the dressing overnight. I don't like spinach and my basil plant has already passed on, so I just left out the "greens". I planned to use some cooked chopped chicken, but I found a 1-pound bag of boiled shrimp in the freezer, leftover from the ten pounds our son-in-law sent us from Maine. I boiled some linguine for lunch and topped it with shredded cheese, some of the shrimp, the veggies and dressing.
Other than overestimating the serving size, I was very happy with the result. (I not only made too much linguine, I also made enough veggies for two meals and used too much salad dressing.) It was delicious though, and would only have been better with some crusty bread to go with it. The hot pasta melted the cheese and warmed up the shrimp and veggies nicely. There is enough for lunch today too. Yum. Look out, Olive Garden!

RANGERS players and staff paid through the EBT scheme are now set to be targeted by the taxman.
But they might not have to pay all the money back and may instead be hit with fines.
The tribunal ruled: "The payments are loans, not earnings, and so are recoverable from the employee or his estate."
That cash would pass to liquidators and then to Rangers' creditors.
When Rangers entered liquidation, their major creditors were Ticketus, owed £26.7million.
The club's unsecured creditors, owed more than £55million, also included more than 6000 fans who bought £7.7million worth of debenture seats at Ibrox – only to be robbed of their investments when the club plunged into administration.
More than £5.5million was owed to "trade creditors" – ranging from giants such as Coca-Cola to a picture framer in Bearsden.
They also include a lady called Susan Thomson who runs a face-painting business. She was owed £40 when the club went bust.
Rangers owed Strathclyde Police £51,882 and the Scottish Ambulance Service £8,438.
And they went into administration owing more than £3.3million to other football clubs.
Extraordinary details emerged in May of the full extent of £47million tax avoidance scheme that helped bring about Rangers' collapse.
Millions was paid to more than 80 stars, former managers and staff at Ibrox – even former boss Graeme Souness received £30,000 from the EBT 10 years after he left.
The cash was paid into the trust, which was then split into sections for individuals.
The staff and players would then take a "loan" from the trust on which they pay no tax.

(Repeats with no change to text)
* EU courts question European sanctions against Iran'
* Several important cases lost in court for now
* EU, courts argue over evidence needed to support sanctions
By Justyna Pawlak
BRUSSELS, July 15 (Reuters) - In the years-long campaign to
tie a web of sanctions around Iran and stall its nuclear
programme, the European Union may just have met its biggest
obstacle: its own law courts.
Fearing Tehran is seeking the means to make bombs, Europe's
governments have been combing through Iran's political elites
and businesses to find people and companies linked to the
financing and technical aspects of its nuclear work.
They have frozen their assets, refused visas and banned
companies in the European Union from doing business with them.
But dozens of those targeted have challenged the restrictions in
court and some are beginning to win, embarrassing Europe's
policymakers and causing alarm in the United States.
None of the court judgments are yet final. But with Israel
brandishing threats against a nuclear programme that Iran
insists has no military purpose, Washington worries that any
weakening of sanctions may raise the risk of war.
At the heart of the issue is the refusal by EU governments
to disclose evidence linking their targets to Iran's nuclear
work. Doing so in court, they say, may expose confidential
intelligence, undermining efforts to combat the programme.
The courts have effectively rejected that argument, saying
that if a case is to be made, evidence must be presented.
Lawyers for the Iranians argue there simply is no evidence that
proves any link to the nuclear programme - a view supported by
British judges who did review some secret material this year.
"It is very clear there is no evidence," said Sarosh
Zaiwalla, senior partner at Zaiwalla & Co, a London law firm
which has successfully represented Iran's Bank Mellat in
litigation against sanctions imposed by the EU.
The bank, one of the biggest private lenders in Iran, won a
case in January in the European Union's Luxembourg-based
second-highest court. It had challenged an EU move in 2010 to
freeze its assets, saying the EU had failed to prove the bank
provided banking services for the nuclear programme. The court
"The chairman of the court asked the EU lawyers, 'can you
show me the evidence?'. And they said 'no, it's Iran, and you
must presume there is evidence'," Zaiwalla said.
"The judge was very upset and said 'this is a court of law
and you cannot assume things'."
In its Jan. 29 judgment, using dense legal language, the
General Court said the council of EU governments was "in breach
of the obligation to state reasons and the obligation to
disclose to the applicant ... the evidence adduced against it".
The lifting of sanctions against Bank Mellat is postponed
for now, pending an appeal by EU governments to Europe's highest
court. But the case illustrates the dilemma facing the European
Union in its push to stop Iran from advancing the atom work.
Government lawyers are telling the courts to trust them and
the courts are refusing. To safeguard its sanctions policy and
its economic pressure on Iran, the EU may have to present
evidence - including sensitive intelligence - in court.
But because of rules governing pan-European courts, all
evidence would then become public which may damage clandestine
operations and unravel the process of devising sanctions.
"There is nothing in the current rules to enable us to
consider sharing information without it becoming public," said
one European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"This is the crux of the issue. We cannot just be handing
information around."
In Washington, anxiety over court rulings is mounting.
"It's a real concern of ours that the EU is having
difficulties sustaining some of its designations," David Cohen,
the U.S. Treasury Department's Under Secretary for Terrorism and
Financial Intelligence, told Reuters.
Lawyers for the Iranian plaintiffs paint the conflict as a
human rights issue, praising the Luxembourg court for decisions
they say amount to taking a stand against government abuse.
"It may be politically embarrassing," said Maya Lester, a
London-based lawyer who represents companies and individuals in
litigation concerning European sanctions, including the Iranian
central bank and the country's main tanker company, NITC.
"But in terms of upholding the rule of law, what the
European court has done is impressive and quite brave. It shows
it to be a court upholding human rights ... which is not easy
given how political Iranian sanctions are."
The lawyers for Bank Mellat had asked EU governments to show
them information linking the lender to the nuclear programme and
consider their complaint that sanctions were not justified, in a
series of letters in 2010 and 2011.

In Galatians 3:5 Paul ask if " does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" At the time there were false believers in Galatia who were trying to convince the church that they must be circumcised to be saved. Paul corrected the church in Galatia very harshly. He reminded them that it is only by believing and trusting in Jesus that we are saved and we can add nothing to what Jesus has done for us.
To make this easier to understand, think of it this way. There are various people in the church who believe they are more righteous than others because they have never touched alcohol, or tobacco, or caffeine. Perhaps they have never used vulgarity, or maybe they have never told a lie. What Paul is saying is that people who take pride in such things and believe it somehow makes them more acceptable to God have placed themselves under the entire Law. In the eyes of the world they may appear more righteous, but before God they stand condemned. Paul is telling the church in Galatia not to try… Continue reading
Judge for yourself:
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Evangelism is sharing the good news about Jesus. Discipling is teaching a believer how to live his life.

Nearly 300 villagers were effectively held as hostage and trapped in the standoff, authorities said, including a pastor whose name was not revealed amid security concerns.
MANILA, PHILIPPINES (BosNewsLife)– About 200 Muslim rebels were holding a pastor and nearly 300 other people hostage on Monday, September 9, in the southern Philippines following fierce clashes with government forces that left at least eight people dead, officials and a Christian aid group said.
The latest fighting, which also injured several Christians, broke out when troops backed by tanks blocked the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) rebels, who fight for an Islamic state in the region, from marching far into Zamboanga city to raise their flag at city hall, military spokesman Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala told reporters.
Earlier, a Philippine navy patrol clashed with the suspected Muslim rebels aboard several boats off southern Zamboanga city, a major port city, which killed one naval special forces member and wounded six others, military officials said.
Following the sea clash, rebels managed to enter Rio Hondo, a crowded coastal Muslim slum on… Continue reading
I see so many posts and comments against going to war with Syria that it baffles me. The Syrian government has closed Churches as well as killed, tortured and mutilated Christians in dozens of prisons used as torture centers across the nation. Syria has also used it's military forces to persecute Christians in neighboring Lebanon. How can Church leaders defend or support this countries leadership?
The closest thing to a logical argument I have heard is the fear that Christian persecution will elevate to the levels it has in Iraq. Read the news, it already has and both the Syrian Government and the rebel militants are involved.
Syria also supports terrorism and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Abu Musa Organization, and the Popular Struggle Front.
War with Syria would destroy it's military infrastructure. If nothing else, it would leave Syria powerless to invade neighboring countries and territories as well as limit it's ability to support terrorist groups.
It never ceases to amaze… Continue reading

Ahead of the vote, Prague Archbishop Dominik Duka said he had spoken with outgoing Prime Minister Jiří Rusnok about more than 11,000 land claims made so far, but it remained unclear what would happen with those requests.
PRAGUE/BUDAPEST (BosNewsLife)– Czech legislators have voted to hold early elections that are expected to be dominated by left-wing parties who oppose a plan to pay billions of dollars in compensation to churches for properties that were seized from them by the previous Communist regime.
Churches faced more uncertainty Wednesday, August 21, as the chairman of the Communist Party, Vojtěch Filip, said he would push for a referendum on the controversial law on restitution "if there will be a strong left-wing showing" in the October 25-26 ballot.
The main Social Democrats (CSSD), who also oppose the scope of the restitution and are open to form a coalition with the Communists, said they would prefer to reach "an amicable agreement" with church representatives.
Under the plan 16 churches will receive 59 billion koruna ($3 billion) in financial compensation over the next… Continue reading

"If the accused is [not a Christian but] a Muslim, they have many ways to investigate and try to save them from this…possibly death-sentence carrying blasphemy allegation," he said.
LAHORE, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife)– A leading rights lawyer says he is "disappointed" that a Muslim cleric who "falsely" accused a Christian girl of blasphemy has been released, while several Christians remain in Pakistani jails for allegedly hurting Islamic feelings.
"We were disappointed about the judgment of the [Islamabad] court in the case of Khalid Jadoon Chishti. He tempered the evidence by adding Koranic pages into ashes [to blame the girl] Rimsha Masih of blasphemy," said lawyer Sardar Mushtaq Gill, director of the Legal Evangelical Association Development group.
Masih, 14, was detained in August 2012 and spent three weeks in one of Pakistan's toughest jails, but the case against her was eventually quashed amid international pressure.
She moved to Canada, after the cleric himself was accused of "desecrating the Koran" and "tampering with evidence" against Rimsha.
Yet on Saturday, August 17, the court acquitted Chishti of all charges "as six out of eight eyewitnesses retracted… Continue reading

Li believes the perpetrators were working for the local government as part of attempt "to threaten house church leaders."
BEIJING, CHINA (BosNewsLife)– Chinese government forces threatened to kill a prominent church leader and his family after beating him, as part of a crackdown on house churches, his supporters said Tuesday, August 20.
Church leader Li Shuangping, a leader at the Linfen house church movement, reported that he was attacked by unknown assailants on the night of August 13 while driving home in Shanxi Province, explained China Aid Association (CAA), a group supporting Chinese Christians.
In published remarks, Li said he was forced to stop his car when a man who seemed to be intoxicated staggered into the road.
He was then allegedly dragged into a black car which had pulled up alongside his vehicle. The church leader told CAA he had been, tied up, blindfolded, and pinned down while three men beat him around his head and body.
One man also allegedly threatened to kill Li and his family members, including his children.
He recalled that… Continue reading

many Farsi-speaking churches have been closed down in Tehran and other cities across the country and pressure on Christian converts is increasing
TEHRAN, IRAN (BosNewsLife)– An Iranian court has sentenced a young evangelical Christian to one year imprisonment and two years exile to a remote border town for his involvement in evangelism and house churches, Iranian Christians told BosNewsLife Tuesday, August 20.
The Revolutionary Court in the city of Robat-Karim, some 27 kilometers (17 miles) southwest of Tehran, reportedly told Ebrahim Firouzi that his "Books (Bibles), and other means of evangelism taken from him, including his personal computer, which were used to commit this crime will be seized in favor of the government and destroyed."
Judge Ali Babaei allegedly said the sentence was justified as Firouzi had been "propagating against the Islamic regime [by] starting and directing an evangelism group, contact with opponents of the Islamic Revolution and anti-Islamic regime networks in foreign countries".
He added that Firouzi started a Christian website, distributed… Continue reading

The case has underscored the issue of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, which rights groups say are often used to settle personal disputes or attack religious minorities
ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife)– A Pakistan court has acquitted a Muslim cleric who accused Christian girl of blasphemy against Islam, before he himself was detained on similar charges, trial observers said.
Khalid Jadoon Chishti, the imam of the local mosque, had accused Rimsha Masih of burning pages containing texts of the Koran, deemed a holy book by Muslims.
The 14-year-old girl was detained in August 2012 and spent three weeks in one of Pakistan's toughest jails with adult inmates, but the case against her was quashed amid international pressure.
Soon after, Chishti himself was accused of "desecrating the Koran and tampering" with the evidence against Rimsha.
He allegedly planted pages of the Koran in a bag full of ash that was seized from the girl, believed to be mentally disabled.
Trial observers said that though the cleric was detained, he was never formally indicted. His lawyer said the Islamabad court released him Saturday, August 17, after accepting there was not… Continue reading

Do Staffing Firms Plan to Offer Coverage to Temporary Employees Under the ACA?
- 11/12/14 |
- 2932 Views
The Affordable Care Act is the most sweeping health care legislation in decades. As you know, on Jan. 1, 2015 the Employer Mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will require large employers (for 2015, those with 100 or more full-time plus full-time equivalent employees) to provide insurance for their workforce or pay penalties. The penalties are severe. J. Kent has decided that we will provide insurance plans to our temporary employees to comply with the employer provisions of the law.
Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions, 4980H – Complex Regulations
Due to the complexity of these regulations, especially the new Employer Shared Responsibility provisions of the ACA (Section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code); we have taken a very thoughtful and careful approach in determining how to account for the impacts. J. Kent has worked closely with the American Staffing Association's (ASA) legal expert, Ed Lenz, Sr. Legal Counsel, and nationally recognized ACA benefit consultant, Alden Bianchi to assist with our analysis of the ACA, and we have been an active leader in a coalition of companies that have helped shape the implementation regulations, called the Employers for Flexibility in Health Care. As a result, we have a deep understanding of the legislation and our experts are well-positioned to ensure J. Kent's full compliance with the ACA.
Yes, Staffing Firms Plan to Offer Coverage to Temporary Employees Under ACA, and
Yes, Staffing Firms Will Incur Significant New Costs
At the American Staffing Association's annual "2014 Staffing World" meeting in Washington, D.C. this past October, max capacity was reached. The topic of discussion, of course, was Health Care Reform and ACA. Public and privately held staffing firms from thoughout the U.S. in attendance unanimously confirmed that staffing firms will incur significant new compliance costs. As of this writing, many publicly traded and national staffing firms have already sent out rate increase letters to their client base because many companies undergo their annual budget process on a calendar year basis.
YES, staffing firms plan to offer coverage to their temporary employees, however, regardless of coverage offered, staffing firms will incur significant new costs, and those costs will vary depending on:
- Type of work they perform
- Employee's full-time status and tenure
- Employee's wage rates
- Type of insurance plan offered
- How many participate in the plan, and
Additional resources needed to ensure compliance to include dedicated:
1. ACA knowledgeable and trained administrative manpower
2. ACA professional expertise (financial, legal, ERISA)
3. New technology to track the complex ACA "variable hour rules" – and how they apply"
4. Annual ACA employer required IRS reporting (both large and small employers)
The Employer Mandate – Costs Spread Across Entire Workforce and Client Base
The "2014 Staffing World" meeting also confirmed that the majority of staffing firms in the U.S. will apply the additional ACA Employer Mandate costs across their entire workforce, and subsequently, across their entire client base. While staffing firms know how many employees are eligible for Health Insurance, no one in the staffing idustry or the health insurance industry knows what to expect as far as the percentage of employee that will choose to enroll in the employer's plan. It is clear, ACA Employer Mandate regulatory costs cannot be fully minimized.
Committed to ACA Compliance
J. Kent Staffing is committed to ACA compliance - both in letter and in spirit. We are also committed to using our expertise to help clients navigate the complexities of the law and to understand the nature and extent of the additional staffing costs they will incur.
J. Kent Staffing is a member of the American Staffing Association. As such, and as set forward in the ASA Statement of Principles, we are dedicated to the legal and ethical management of U.S. workers. We will therefore work diligently to help our clients implement legitimate workforce strategies and will not participate in practices that violate the law's intent.
We look forward to learning about any questions you may have regarding the ACA and how we may continue to be of assistance as your trusted workforce solutions partner. On behalf of J. Kent and its staffing professionals, we thank you for your business and wish your company a strong 2014 finish.
J. Kent Gervasini, CPC, CSP

DAILY BRIEFS: Diller's Newly Created USA Films Swallows October, Gramercy, and Parts of PolyGram
by Eugene Hernandez/indieWIRE
In the Winter 1992 issue of FILMMAKER Magazine, Editor Scott Macaulay
interviewed October Films' founders Bingham Ray and Jeff Lipsky just after
the company secured a significant round of financing and moved into new
Rockefeller Center offices. Discussing the difference between the rapidly
growing October and Sony Pictures Classics, Ray said, "The biggest
difference between us and them is that Jeff and I struck out on our own
with our dime and at great risk. Everything that we personally owned went
into October Films. The people at Sony Classics, as much as I respect them
— and I respect them a great deal — they've always been part of a major
studio and it's not their dime. It's a little different when it's your
money. I think, for us, this is the way we have to operate."
Ray's comments from seven years ago are poignant given Barry Diller's
much-anticipated official announcement which hit FAX machines this
afternoon (Wednesday). As expected, Barry Diller's USA Networks confirmed
that it will purchase October Films and portions of PolyGram Filmed
Entertainment (PFE) from Seagram Company Ltd, the parent company of
Universal. A new unit of USA, dubbed USA Films, will house October Films,
Gramercy Pictures, and USA Home Entertainment (formerly PolyGram Video).
October co-President Scott Greenstein, who joined October from Miramax, has
been named Chairman of USA Films, and according to a USA Networks
statement, a special committee of the October Films Board has approved the
sale representing the company's minority shareholders. No announcement was
made about the fate or Ray and the third October co-President John Schmidt.
Additionally, there was no news on whether Gramercy head Russell Schwartz
would remain on board. Sources indicated in advance of the announcement
that Ray and Schmidt would leave and Schwartz would take a high level role
in the new operation.
"A lot of people become jaded and cynical in this business," Ray told
Macaulay in the 1992 FILMMAKER interview, "But its never been like that for
us and it never will."

The cycle hire scheme went live in July but plans to allow casual users to try them have been delayed until now to allow the operator, Serco, to deal with 'teething problems'.

WCTE Invites YOU to a Back-to-School BASH! July 15th
Posted by
When it comes to helping at-risk families, there are always opportunities for the community to get involved. One great opportunity will be on July 15th at the Putnam County Fairgrounds. WCTE, the Power of Putnam, Life Church, and Putnam County Schools are celebrating with a huge back-to-school bash.
The event will include bounce houses, a petting zoo, PLUS free pizza, burgers, and drinks. And if that wasn't enough, PBS Kids character Curious George will be there! There will also be school supplies for all students who attend any K-8 school in the Upper Cumberland.
This back-to-school bash is just one way that WCTE and their community partners can eliminate some stress for families who need costly school supplies for multiple students. The back-to-school bash will allow each child to select their own school supplies. If a parent is attending without their students they can select supplies for up to two children.
The back-to-school bash begins at 4 p.m. on July 15th at the Putnam County Fairgrounds and ends at 8 p.m. The event will be under grandstands so weather will not be an issue. WCTE encourages parents, grandparents, foster parents, aunts and uncles and other caregivers to bring the children to the Putnam County Fairgrounds for this wonderful event
WCTE Get Ready to Learn radio host Cynthia Putman spoke with Bill Gibson, the executive director of Power of Putnam, and Jennifer Matthews, the assistant director of Power of Putnam about the work their organization does to help keep our community healthy, happy, and safe.
Power of Putnam conducts frequent workshops and training for restaurants and grocery stores in order to ensure their employees are in compliance with the state laws concerning the sale of alcohol. Gibson said that many young people around the age of 12 and 13 in the Upper Cumberland area are experimenting with alcohol.
The goal of Power Putnam is to raise awareness in our school systems about the dangers of underage drinking and the use of prescription pills. Matthews cites a survey of middle and high school students across the Upper Cumberland. The results are a shocking reminder of how easy it is for underage children to obtain alcohol. Power of Putnam and many of their community partners will be staffing the fairgrounds for the back-to-school bash and encourage everyone to come out and have some back-to-school fun.
Many times, children who are struggling with feelings of worthlessness and low self esteem turn to alcohol and other substances. If you are a parent looking for ways to help build your child's self esteem, check out this great resource from PBS Parents on how to raise a child with healthy self esteem.
We also encourage you to check out Power of Putnam on Facebook and online at http://www.powerofputnam.org/.
The organization states its mission as:
To unite the diverse elements of Putnam County in a united substance abuse prevention effort designed to empower individuals, strengthen families and build character and resiliency, resulting in drug free children and youth.
The Purpose of the Power of Putnam is:
To prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including under-age drinking, in Putnam County.
To reduce substance-related problems in Putnam County.
To build an infrastructure for prevention activities and the capacity for building personal assets in children and youth at the community level.
If you have additional school supplies that you would like to donate for school students you can drop them off at the WCTE office on Broad Street or at the Power of Putnam office on Broad Street here in Cookeville. You may also contact WCTE at 931-528-2222 for additional information.

Ariana Grande turned to fellow pop star Miley Cyrus for comfort after she was accused of throwing tantrums and behaving like a "diva".
The Problem hitmaker has hit headlines in recent weeks amid multiple reports suggesting she has behaved badly. Her life coach was reported to have resigned due to her "bad attitude" and fans have grumbled that she was rude during a meet-and-greet session.
Grande, who denied the claims, has now revealed she turned to Cyrus for support amid the furore.
She tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "I was upset and I contacted Miley. I said, 'Miley, I'm so sad - what do I do? This isn't true. My heart is broken, I feel so bad'. She was like, 'Girl, don't even look at it. Just be happy that you're blessed. You have family and friends (that) love you, you have fans that love you who know what's true and what's not'. She added, 'It will blow over and tomorrow they'll be talking about something else.'"
Grande is adamant that the reason she faces such struggles in the industry is because she is a woman, adding, "If you see a woman working hard who is successful - who doesn't stop until she reaches her goal, who is strong and has wishes and dreams she wants to fulfil, and works hard every day - you label them a diva. But if you see a man doing that, you're like, 'He's incredible, he's an amazing businessman'."

Our servers are dedicated to quality, friendly service in our casual dining atmosphere. Guests are always welcome and encouraged to join us.
Q & A with our Executive Chef,
Paul Resenhoeft
How long have you been with The Gardens at Columbine?
I've been with The Gardens since 2011.
How long have you been in the food industry?
I helped my mother make salads at a very early age and when I was 17 I began working at Applebee's in Sugarland, TX. I was on a team that was named "the horseman cooks" because we could bang out 1500 orders a night.
I wanted to move onto something better and decided to go to Houston, TX to be the lead cook at TGI Fridays. One important thing I learned there was "speed of service." That was important because the best customer service is to get hot food out ASAP.
Did any special recognition come from that experience?
Yes, I was asked to work at multiple Houston locations.
What is the best aspect of your position at The Gardens?
I love being able to show a new twist on food that the residents were not brought up on and see how well my ideas go over. I am bringing a bit of fine dining to The Gardens; the residents are thrilled. I think it is all about the presentation and the fresh quality. We don't use canned or frozen. I have a passion for creating the best dining experience. They deserve it.
Where do your ideas for the menus come from?
I base my ideas on 'restaurant style dining' and many ideas come from the restaurants where I worked. I search the internet for new and easy ideas.
How do you know what the residents like to eat?
Our residents are very verbal about what they like! Most will say they just like meat and potatoes. I have promoted to have a food committee which meets once a week. I love it when we get a real "foodie" to join the group.
What do they say in these meeting?
Their comments range from what soups they like to that we serve sweet potatoes every day. I try to honor any recipes they share.
What do you think stretches their taste pallets?
Many of my offerings have tested them like crab cakes and pan seared duck. I was pleasantly surprised by the reactions of "make it again".
I also do monthly demos as an afternoon activity. I show them how certain foods are prepared and walk them through the entire recipe. I have never had a poor response even when I demoed sushi. It was fully cooked and they all tasted it.
What could you say makes the dining experience unique at The Gardens at Columbine?
Everything is prepared from scratch, plated fresh and brought to the table ASAP. I may repeat recipes but the total menu of 5 entrees every day is not duplicated.
It is important to have seasonal items, Colorado grown and peak of the season. Variety is important.
Our servers need to know the ingredients and have tasted items before service begins so they can offer their impressions of the food.
What do you think the residents enjoy the most of their dining experience?
We have a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Residents are greeted with a smile and very friendly and attentive staff.
We get to know our residents personally and show them that we truly enjoy serving them.

When making decisions during operations, naval commanders, planners and operators rely on meteorological and oceanographic data and forecasts. However, in the coastal zone, where NATO navies typically operate, the environment can change dramatically over short distances and lengths of time. In addition, resources to gather meteorological and oceanographic data are typically limited as is our understanding of complex ocean processes. These limitations create uncertainties. Researchers at the Centre are trying to quantify these uncertainties.

ATLANTA – As storms approach some of the largest wildfires burning in the South, the rain signaled new hope for firefighters working to put them out.
But authorities said the storms were also bringing high winds, which could topple the many dead trees and branches in burning forests and pose a threat to firefighters. And experts predicted rains from one storm system wouldn't be enough to end the relentless drought that's spread across several states.
The storms appeared to be taking aim at the two largest wildfires in the South — the nearly 28,000-acre Rough Ridge Fire in north Georgia and the nearly 25,000-acre Rock Mountain Fire burning on both sides of the Georgia-North Carolina line.
Authorities said 22 other large wildfires were burning throughout the Southeast U.S.

Re: Relate to your mind as a clear spacious sky and to the thoughts as clouds.
Dan Richards
Precisely. Which is why I started this topic; to share and explore techniques for "practicing what they are already doing."
So, let's do that. I threw out non-judgemental observation of thoughts and phenomenon as the first bone. There's no double talk in that. It's an actual technique - an approach - that's as practical as letting the marinara sauce boil down all day if you want a better-quality sauce and a deeper and richer experience - not only during the cooking process, but also in the dinner.
What wine would you recommend with the dinner, Graham?
The wine of no wine. In other words you don't need to observe the thoughts. Cooking process could be equated with the tea ceremony. Observing every motion and movement. Quite the opposite to observing thoughts for it is the exercise of observing without and despite of thoughts.
As is Aikido practice and learning.
So to discuss observation in Aikido we would have to talk about which things to observe ie: the circles involved, the spaces, the paths of energy, the motions etc. etc.
If you want to discuss observation techniques used in Aikido or even useful in Aikido then you would first have to remember Aikido is an action discipline not a sit in a cave discipline. Thus we find there are things to do which aid observing better, one point being just one example. The things which aid observation in martial arts do not include looking at thoughts.
Looking at thoughts type exercises are things you can do which no doubt would also help but they exist outside of the action of Aikido. Aikido is the dinner.....those things are the after dinner wine.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation is currently fundraising to be able to provide a $2500 grant to Tiffany and Element, a seizure-response service dog in training for her. Seizure response dogs are a special type of service dog, specifically trained to help someone who has epilepsy or a seizure disorder. Due to the differing needs between each case, every potential seizure dog receives specialized training.
Tiffany is a sweet girl who has been dealing with seizures since age 6. Since that time she has developed multiple types of seizures. This has greatly affected her emotionally and physically. A seizure dog would benefit her in her independence as well as her emotional well being. She is a bright and strong girl who deserves to be as independent as possible.
Tiffany reports that having a seizure-response dog means she can be more independent. She has never been able to ride public transportation because her seizures don't make her feel safe. Element will assist her in managing her anxiety and depression by comforting her during medical procedures she has to have. Imagine being a teenager and never being able to do the things that most teenagers do.
Our goal is to get life-saving measures in line for all who could benefit from them. By raising SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) awareness, our hope is to get epilepsy research on the radar. Most believe that if you have seizures you can take a pill and be cured. Truth is that only 1/3 of those with seizures are controlled by medication. For many, multiple seizures are an every-day part of their life. 1 in 26 will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

From Fr Barnes's blog:
Today was very good. Bishop Crispian of Portmouth made us very welcome, and although there was only a handful of us in his private chapel for my ordination to the diaconate, we had some good music. For Our Lady of Lourdes, we'd chosen a bit of the Anglican Patrimony. We sang as an introit: Bishop Ken's "Her Virgin Eyes saw God Incarnate born", to Lawes' tune 'Farley Castle'. I was not the solitary deacon on parade; Stephen (good name for a Deacon) Morgan, who is finance secretary to the Diocese, propped me up and ensured I did not fall over my feet. He is the handsome chap on the Bishop's right hand. To his right is the Chancellor of the Diocese.
Jane, formerly known as the Flying Buttress when I was a Flying Bishop, was also present but as ever wanted to take a back seat. She was eventually inveigled into a photograph. We had a very jolly lunch after the Ordination. Bishop Crispian is clearly keen to make the Ordinariate work in his diocese, and has given great encouragement to the three groups in his territory which are in process of formation. As he pointed out, my duty and that of my fellow priests is not to him but to our Ordinary, and he was only able to Ordain me because he had been asked to do so by Fr Keith Newton. For all that, he is doing everything he can to ensure that we are made welcome by all the catholic clergy and laity within his diocese. For ourselves, I must say Jane and I have felt a great warmth of affection and a welcome we could not possibly deserve. If anyone is holding back from the Ordinariate fearing that a clergy wife might not be welcome, please speak to Jane or any of the other bishops' or priests' wives who have made the journey. I hope that even after our local Anglicanorum group is running, I shall still be some use to priests and parishes in this southern part of Portsmouth diocese.
The Ordinariate Portal offers sincere congratulations to Fr Barnes and wishes him all the best as he prepares for priestly ordination.

Ah yes... It's "Hate UND Week" on ESPN 590 AM Omaha. So, if you haven't heard this, you might want to listen to it at the 31:00 mark of the embedded broadcast.
For some interesting hockey analysis from a UNO fan's perspective you can check out MAV PUCK.
This should be a good series of hockey, both teams hate each other and it should be a rough series. Both games will be on TV and for those with DirecTV, you will be able to watch Friday's game on CBSSN and Saturday's game on Fox College Sports.
If you haven't seen it, Ryan Lambert of Puck Daddy has been taking hacks at UNO all season long.
Meanwhile, the poor-but-they-keep-winning-anyway Omaha Mavericks swept Denver.
Omaha will fall off, but might have enough points banked that it doesn't make a difference. North Dakota is better but still not great.

Toni Morrison Quotes About SkinsQuotes about: Skins
There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship's, smooths and contains the rocker. It's an inside kind--wrapped tight like skin. Then there is the loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive. On its own. A dry and spreading thing that makes the sound of one's own feet going seem to come from a far-off place.
My daddy's face is a study. Winter moves into it and presides there. His eyes become a cliff of snow threatening to avalanche, his eyebrows bend like black limbs of leafless trees. His skin takes on the pale cheerless yellow of winter sun; for a jaw he has the edges of a snowbound field dotted with stubble; his high forehead is the frozen sweep of the Erie.

For quite some time, I've felt the need for an x86 tablet computer that I could carry with me when I was away from my main workstation. This need became a necessity when I started travelling for business, and while my trusty Bonobo Extreme, from System76, was everything I ever needed for a computer to be, it was also a little too bulky and heavy, which made it almost impractical to operate in tight spaces like in a car - while not driving, of course - and in planes. I knew that I needed something that was modern with a tight form factor like that of a Tablet, yet full featured, unlike many Tablets.
The ideal tablet computer needed to be cost effective and with known compatibility under Linux 32bit and 64bit. I had considered buying the Surface or the Transformer earlier, but since this was going to be a companion computer and not the primary one, and I needed offline storage to install all my software for when I was on the go, the Surface didn't have enough storage or compatibility to just justify the cost, and in addition to the lack of sufficient storage, the Transformer wasn't powerful enough for my needs.
I discovered Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series i7347 while researching 2-in-1 laptops on Amazon. After spending time researching it, it seemed like it was created with my needs in mind. The additional $100 off the sticker price of the Dell's original $599 made it an even more attractive purchase I could not afford to miss. I was a purchase I did not regret making.
The laptop is very slick and professional looking, which works great, since I intend to take it with me on my business and family trips instead of my more powerful, yet bulky, 17 inch Bonobo Extreme Laptop/Workstation. The hinges on the Inspiron are very sturdy and the laptop easily folds into a tablet. The touchscreen is very responsive. With a 500 GB hard disk at my disposal, I am able to use all my office productivity applications, as well as, software development tools and related services, without any difficulty. Now granted that this model is not an i7 or even an i5, but neither is it an Atom or ARM based. It provides a full computing experience with enough horsepower for smoother operation and functioning.
Installing Linux on it was a breeze. Almost everything worked right out of the box, and the only hiccup under Linux was, the not-so-well supported Wireless/Bluetooth module with Broadcom chipset. However, with little research, I was able to find Intel's Dual Band AC 7260 module, with the proper form factor, that was compatible and well supported under Linux. A version of that module, 7265, is also listed in Dell's specifications document for this laptop as an option. I suppose, if I had bought this directly from Dell, I might have been able to choose the Intel over the Dell Wifi module.
I also made the right call, when I decided to upgrade the WLAN module myself. The laptop is very easy to upgrade manually. The HDD, the RAM, the battery, and the WLAN module, among other things, are easily accessible, once you unscrew the base lid. On their website, Dell provides a Service Repair guide for this model, which provided all the necessary steps needed to help with the hardware upgrade, and that has only boosted my confidence in this machine and it's quality.
I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone who intends to run Linux on it.
The 2-in-1 can be purchased from Amazon using the link below.
Note: there are two form factors the Wifi module is available under. You are looking for the smaller of the two.
7260NGW Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0
The Wifi Module can be purchased from Amazon using the link below.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the article.

The Jaaxy Keyword Tool Is Tested
This is the Jaaxy Keyword tool review that I want to share with you guys and unlike many reviews that you may find on the internet you should know that before I actually start promoting a product or program or service on the make money online anywhere site, has to actually work. I spend the money, test the tool or system and write my review based on my findings. I can then either recommend and promote the program or choose not to. This tool, the Jaaxy keyword tool, actually hits top marks in terms of performance and return on investment.
Those of us that market online for a living are always looking for tools that will allow us to maximize our efforts and effectiveness and from what I have found with the Jaaxy Keyword tool it does just that. I made the monthly purchase of the tool at the end of January, and put it into action right away.
Jaaxy Keyword Tool Provides An Edge For Competitive Keywords
The first key phrases that I came up with were "referral marketing programs" and "earn residual income online." With the first key phrase, it may have been a phrase that I might target based on my normal keyword research activities. It got a significant amount of traffic and the phrase match with Google showed that just over 500,000 sites contained the phrase within the site.
The second key phrase however would not have been a phrase I would typically have chosen. When I typed in "earn residual income online" as a phrase match Google showed 1.26 million sites with that phrase within the site. This normally exceeds my parameters of 500k or lower. As stated, this is typically not the key phrase that I would have chosen, but the Jaaxy keyword tool gave me the "green light" to use it and…
…within 2 weeks I have achieved a first page ranking on Google for each of these key phrases. Am I number 1? Not yet and the post may not rank in the top 3 without a lot of concentrated effort, but I do know one thing and that is that the Jaaxy keyword tool works plain and simple.
The Jaaxy Keyword Tool Actually Works
If you, like me, are on the hunt for tools and products that actually work and that can actually contribute to your online business success then you are going to want to check out the Jaaxy keyword tool for yourself. The cost is $19 a month and is a monthly service that you have access to rather than a program that you purchase. In my opinion the $19 dollars a month is a very agreeable price since, as I stated before, this tool actually works.

Are there interruptions disabled in 7 clocks period?
In the User's Manual, there is a description saying, "No interrupt will be acknowledged between an interrupt request non-sample instruction and the next instruction."
Are interrupts disabled in this period (7 clocks)?
No. The description "between an interrupt request non-sample instruction and the next instruction" means a period in which the CPU does not perform interrupt acknowledgement (sampling).
That is, you should understand that a non-sample instruction and the next instruction are always executed in succession. [All V850]
(This 7-clock period refers to the period from the time an EI instruction is executed in the DI state to the time the CPU is enabled to acknowledge an interrupt. It has no relation to interrupt disabling.) [All V850/S series]

Garmin extends team sponsorship
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
announced on Tuesday that it has extended its sponsorship of the
Garmin-Slipstream ProTour team
by three years. Extending the current agreement, which lasts through 2010, Garmin will remain partners with Slipstream through 2013.
The partnership will provide the team with the opportunity to continue its founding mission: building the next generation of cycling champions. It will also allow Garmin, Slipstream and team partners such as
Felt Bicycles
to develop new technology that will give the team advantages on the road. Most importantly, the long-term sponsorship provides the team with a platform and foundation for retaining and recruiting the best riders in the sport.
"The success of the team spans the globe and surpassed our expectations for the first year and a half of our title sponsorship, bringing Garmin's reputation for quality, commitment, performance and productivity into countless households in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia," said
Jon Cassat, Garmin's vice president of communications
. "Our objectives were—and continue to be—to integrate our products on sports' biggest stages and to build global brand awareness. Whether capturing victories around the world, winning national championships or working to develop future generations of talent, Team Garmin has helped us achieve those objectives and has made an impression on billions of potential customers."
Garmin, which has spent 20 years developing technologies and innovation to enhance users' lives, has already used the team's unique perspective and invaluable feedback in developing the new GPS-enabled
Edge 500
, which tracks speed, distance, time, GPS position, elevation, calories burned, climb and descent. After the ride, data downloaded to
Garmin Connect
allows cyclists and staff to study the statistics, looking for any room for improvement for the next day. This data also provides fans and the media access to the riders' data.
"Garmin's commitment to innovation and integrity mirrors our own, and knowing that we have their partnership for the next four years means that we can continue to develop the next generation of cycling champions," said
Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports, LLC
, the sports management company that runs the team. "We can continue to make technological innovations that will give our riders a competitive advantage on the road. And off the road, we can continue to help better the sport."

By Guest Blogger Laura Simon
So you've decided to homeschool? That's awesome! If you're anything like me, you've spent a lot of time pondering the pros and cons of taking this step. It's a lot of work just to make the decision.
Of course, once you decide that homeschooling makes sense for your family, the real work begins. It's not unlike starting a college term paper: lots of options and tons of empty space. When I started researching, I quickly reached the conclusion that there are approximately ten trillion ways to homeschool. So where on earth do you begin? I mean, it's only your child's future hanging in the balance, right?
I've been reflecting on my own family's transition from public school to home school, and I put together a list of steps that helped me navigate these tough decisions; I hope they'll help you find your own way. These things take time; try not to begrudge yourself the hours spent analyzing, thinking, considering, talking to other moms, and watching other families. You aren't wasting time. These early steps are an investment in your children's education, and they matter. Try not to rush them.
Craft a Vision
Start by taking the time to analyze why your family decided to homeschool in the first place. Those reasons are probably fresh in your mind, so go ahead and write them down. Rank them in order of importance if you want. You are creating a vision – a focus – that will guide you through the decisions that follow.
For example, if you've decided to homeschool because the actual physical school situation doesn't work for your children, but you still want them to be learning the same things as their peers at the same time, your vision might lead you to virtual schools where content is delivered online and a licensed teacher handles the teaching and grading. However, if you have strong feelings about what is taught and when, and if you want your child to have a very different school experience, you'll need to choose a basic curriculum that reflects your goals. As a former teacher with strong opinions about curriculum and learning styles, I quickly realized the latter was the best choice for me.
Ask Tons of Questions
Your next step, if possible, should be talking to actual people who homeschool. So your husband's third-cousin's sister-in-law happens to be your Facebook friend and seems to enjoy homeschooling? Send her a private message. That family at church? Ask if you can chat sometime. The next door neighbors? Knock on their door. I am fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends who are homeschoolers, and every single one I reached out to was more than willing to write me a book on what they do, what they use, what they love, what they don't, and why. I started to notice some common themes in the responses I got: some curriculum options were clearly more popular than others and some teaching and organization styles were working really well for a lot of people. When I started the process of setting up our own school, I started with the things that came highly recommended. It narrowed my focus and saved me a ton of time and stress.
Attend a Conference
You should also consider attending a homeschooling conference, if possible. There are several in North Carolina throughout the school year, and they feature speakers as well as a wide variety of vendors. This is a great chance to see curriculum in person, instead of researching online. Of course, a conference can easily become overwhelming because, like I mentioned above, there are so many choices. If you have done your research with homeschooling families beforehand, you can focus on the curriculum you already think you want to use, instead of trying to look at everything.
Shadow Homeschooling Families
I was homeschooled myself for a number of years, so I had a good idea what a homeschooling day would look like. If you don't, or even if you are looking for inspiration, shadowing a homeschool family can be a great way to begin crafting your own vision. Yes, this pretty much involves inviting yourself over to their house. Disregard social norms and do it anyway. Every family does things differently: some are very, very structured to the point of imitating traditional school, and others have a schedule that ebbs and flows by the day. Some families get up to an alarm and start work by 7; others let their kids sleep as long as they wish, take some time to play, and then buckle down to work. My personal schedule depends on how needy my two-year-old is that particular day. If she is exceedingly clingy, sometimes we put off our school work until her naptime. If she is willing to play independently, then we knock the school work out early. Flexibility is my friend.
The more families you can shadow, the more realistic you'll be when you make your own plans. (Trust me, your initial expectations for homeschooling are probably not very realistic. In retrospect, mine were laughable. Especially the part where I pictured the house being clean.) If the family you're shadowing is using curriculum that interests you, take this opportunity to try it out with your own kid. Find a printer with a photocopy function; it will be your best friend. I've saved myself a fortune by copying a few pages of someone else's book and letting my kids try them.
Consider a Co-Op
Homeschooling is very popular in North Carolina, which means there are plenty of co-op options available. You do not have to join a co-op; in fact, our state is relatively lenient in that there's not a whole lot that you have to do. However, I've found that our co-op is not only good for my kids, it's a great source of support and encouragement for me. Homeschooling is best done in community, however you decide to create it.
Co-ops are like curriculum: you'll find wide variety in terms of purpose and price. Some co-ops are aligned to a specific curriculum, meaning strict standards apply to instructor training, scheduling, and general operation. There's less risk in choosing a co-op like this, but often the price-point is higher. The other option is an independent co-op, formed by like-minded parents who want to leverage the collective strengths of the moms within the co-op. These co-ops tend to be much more affordable, but they require you to put more trust in the parents running them. When you talk to other homeschooling families, ask them about their co-op, if they have one. If possible, arrange to visit. Homeschooling Facebook pages can be a great way to find smaller, lesser-known co-ops. If you are looking for a co-op, I'd suggest joining one (or several) of these pages and asking for recommendations.
Don't Overdo It
The more research you do, the more amazing opportunities you'll find. If you aren't careful, you'll wind up with three extra-curricular activities per kid, per day…and no actual time to teach! Especially if your kids are little, give yourself a few months to see how much spare time you have – and how much you are willing to give up – before you register for anything. Just because something is good doesn't mean it's good for your family. Choose carefully.
Give Yourself Freedom to Change Your Mind
When you begin to make final decisions, remember that you aren't marrying the choices you make. If you aren't happy with your co-op after a year, you can always try a new one. The same goes for curriculum choices. In fact, you might find that what works for one of your children doesn't work at all for another. One of the tremendous benefits of homeschooling is that you can constantly make adjustments based on your child's needs. Take a breath and make the best decision you can with the knowledge that you can always change your mind.
Our family loves the choices we've made. Homeschooling isn't for everyone, but our kids are learning and thriving. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!

|Faux Ferocious
Faux Ferocious is a Nashville based rock and roll quartet that combines blistering punk-rock simplicity, Spector-worthy hooks, and a whatever-it-takes production approach to create songs that are short, infectious, and razor sharp. With vocal and guitar duties split between dueling frontmen Jonathan Phillips and Terry Kane, and a rhythm section held down by bassist Dylan Palmer and drummer Reid Cummings, Faux Ferocious creates a infectious brand of mock-punk both on stage and in the studio. The disheveled anarchy of their live shows leaves an immediate impression as a blink-and-it's-over run of songs form perfectly mismatched waves of precision and drunken confusion. Faux Ferocious is an inspiring fuzz-driven alt-pop group that shows kinship with bands like Wavves, Ty Segall, and Best Coast while expertly walking the tightrope between noise and beauty.

Stolen Strad!!! Gasp!!

3 arrested in UK for stealing Stradivarius violin
– Thu Dec 23, 1:14 pm ET
LONDON – Three people were arrested for stealing a 1.2 million-pound ($1.85 million) antique violin from an internationally acclaimed musician while she stopped for a snack at a London sandwich bar, British police said Thursday.
South Korean violinist Min-Jin Kym was eating inside the sandwich shop outside Euston station on Nov. 29 when she noticed that her black violin case — which contained the 300-year-old Stradivarius as well as two expensive bows — was missing, police said.
The violin, made in 1696, is one of only around 400 in the world. It was stolen with a Peccatte bow, valued at 62,000 pounds, and another bow worth more than 5,000 pounds.
Police arrested and charged John Maughan, 26, and two teenagers on Wednesday for theft. The teens, aged 16 and 14 years old, cannot be named for legal reasons. Maughan is in custody and the two teenagers are free on bail.
Police are appealing for information about the whereabouts of the rare instrument. An insurance company has offered a 15,000 pound reward for information that could lead to the violin's recovery.
South Korea-born Kym began playing the violin aged six. She made her international debut with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra when she was 13. Since then, she has performed with some of the world's leading orchestras.

Stubborn me?
Won't you let me be?
I want to love you
all the time will do.
I give you what you need
still you have yet to read
my obsession
is now in session.
I won't leave no matter how
many times you cast me away, nay,
I will obey
that voice inside my head
speaking in my stead.
I am not stubborn, just persistent
acting as your assistant.
When you want her to go away,
I hide in the bushes at night scaring her astray.
Happy with the results
your mind is in tumult
of how I came to be
when you let me be me.
