Nuka opened its doors on March 22nd of this year. DeWitt, Moon, and Yuri welcome you to come and dine with us. Please enjoy this Izakaya style Japanese sushi restaurant featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
N U K A is the Japanese word for rice bran.
Nuka is created in the process of turning brown rice into white, also known as polishing or milling. It is then mixed with water, salt, kelp, or ginger and turned into a pickling bed. Any vegetable can be buried in the nuka bed for one day to many months. The final product is nukazuke, a salty, tangy, sour pickle loaded with probiotics.
Nuka, the restaurant, was born of a love for food and culture. Restaurant creators Yuri, DeWitt, and Moon have long admired the natural simplicity and unique artistry of Japanese cuisine. Together with executive chef, Hiro Takanashi, they believe that food is best when the ingredients are fresh and the preparation is kept simple. Supporting local farmers and fishermen is a priority as well as a responsibility at Nuka. We will bring local and seasonal ingredients to the table as often as possible.
Food has the power to bring people together and we hope to enhance the experience by offering delicious meals in the heart of Haiku.

What I do…
I convene people and engage them through dialogue so that extremely difficult change and development work can be done. As part of the change work I am fascinated how people react to pressure (and in the changing global environment everybody is under pressure to some extent!). By exploring these reactions to pressure, we are able to expand on our ability to be more effective and efficient under pressure. This is helpful to clients because it allows them, or their teams to better engage with the complex issues around us.
Who & a bit more 'what'?
I work with individuals and organisations from all industries who. What my clients have in common is that they want to embark on staff & organisational development initiatives and/or want to look at becoming more resilient under pressure. I also help people navigate the messy, volatile, uncertain and ambiguous nature of change and change processes.
Staff & Organisational Development
Since leaving the military in 2004, I have been involved in staff and organisational development initiatives in some shape or form. My experience ranges from being an operations manager (of a brand new adventure company) that designed and implement all policies and procedures to writing or rewriting the curriculum for adult training courses while managing a training college. As a consultant, I am able to work with clients to identify the areas that need development and then help design and deliver effective learning & development programmes to reach these objectives.
Organisational Change
Change is messy! There is an abundance of literature that talks about the impact of change on organisations and people. Not only is change messy, but it greatly impacts on the people involved by creating stress and pressure. I am able to draw from my experience in highly stressful environments to help people become more resilient in facing the stressors of change, while also helping people make better decisions under pressure. People anticipating to face pressure (or who are already under pressure) benefit from this work by being ready to function at their best when times are at their worst.
The Evidence
The work that I do is based on various theories and approaches. I use these theories as conceptual lenses through which I look at what is going on. This body of theory on which I draw is expanding as I make my journey through this ever-changing world and often show up in the research that I am actively engaged with as a student on a doctoral programme in organisational change.
Like my development and change work, my coaching practice draws heavily on a variety of conceptual lenses. The most common of the lenses (or theories) have to do with transactional analysis (that looks at the ego state in which we transact), on presence (looks through the lens of Patsy Rodenburg's work energy states), and Gestalt psychology (working in the present with what we have now). The relaxed, conversational, and experimental approach is aimed at working with what comes up during the conversation and then exploring the way forward.

Lord Monkswell: My Lords, I thank the Minister for giving way. The idea of disenfranchising hereditary Peers has been on the table for some time. I am on record as welcoming the leader of my party offering to give me back my rights to vote and stand for Parliament. I hope that that right might also be extended to our colleagues who are life Peers.
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Monkswell, seems to have forgotten that he had that right and could have divested himself of his peerage when he first inherited it if he wished. He evidently decided not to do so and preferred to be a Member of the House of Lords rather than chance his arm, and probably lose it, trying to become a Member of the House of Commons. However, let us leave that subject because it is a slight diversion.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: It certainly is.
Earl Ferrers: The noble Lord, Lord McIntosh, cannot complain if his party leader makes provocative remarks and then someone objects to them.
The Government are in favour of parishes. I can assure the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Worcester that the Government do not, as he put it, intend to stonewall on the creation of new parishes. I do not know where he got that idea, but I can assure him that it is an incorrect assessment. We have not stonewalled and do not intend to.
It is curious that Worcestershire is so well represented today by the right reverend Prelate and my noble friends Lord Sandys and Lady Macleod. I wonder what goes on in Worcestershire that does not happen elsewhere. We welcome the broad intention of my noble friend's Bill to give local people a louder voice in calling for a new parish to be established. That is something which is missing in existing legislation.
The Local Government Act 1992 removed the provisions which were in the 1972 Act permitting districts to instigate parish reviews. Instead, the 1992 Act gave the Local Government Commission the duty of carrying out reviews when it was directed to do so by the Secretary of State. That system has not worked well.
Lord Mottistone: Hurray! It is splendid to hear my noble friend stating, as a Minister, that the system has not worked well. It has worked terribly badly.
Earl Ferrers: To have such support from behind me is enormously gratifying. I wish that my noble friend had said "Hurray" when I made my observations about the future composition of the House of Lords. He preferred to keep quiet. However, I have at least one supporter; that is good.
To reintroduce the old 1972 provisions would not be satisfactory. They did not make adequate provision for those cases where districts failed to instigate reviews. I am bound to tell my noble friend Lord Sandys that we find a fundamental difficulty in the way the Bill is drafted. It affects both parts of the new schedule which the Bill would insert into the Local Government Act 1972.
We have no blueprint for the composition and size of parishes. There is no reason why they should not develop differently in different areas, if that is what people want. It is, though, the Government's view that parishes should not be so large that they dominate the district in which they are located. That is a recipe for confusion and a likely cause of dispute. It particularly applies to charter trustee towns, of which my noble friend, as High Steward of Kidderminster, has direct and deep experience. Several of the charter trustee towns are more than half the size of their respective districts.
Fixed and immovable procedures are also undesirable. They can be misused. It is possible to imagine circumstances in which the creation of a parish is not desired for its own sake but simply because the possible creation of such a parish can be a useful ploy in a wider dispute.
The process of obtaining signatures for a petition is not always beyond criticism. A petition can, of course, be the result of a careful explanation of the proposal to each individual and it can be the result of detailed consideration. But we can all think of cases in which the opposite would be true. I am also apprehensive, in a general way, about what might be called "a war of petitions" whereby one petition can be given to the commission saying: "We want this." Another petition can be presented to the commission saying, "We don't want that" and the commission would then have to act as an undignified referee. That is not the most enlightened way of considering changes to local government.
The noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, suggested that Her Majesty's Government might have views on the way in which the feelings of potential parishes were conveyed. She hit the nail on the head. We have several views on it. We need to construct a better process which, as the noble Baroness said, will create a role for the
The Secretary of State would, of course, be obliged to use this discretion reasonably. I think that he has already demonstrated that that can be done under the existing procedures for creating parishes. For example, he has accepted the case for creating a number of sizeable parishes in former charter trustee areas which were created following the 1974 reorganisation.
In order to assist potential petitioners, we propose to revise the guidance on the size of new parishes which is contained in a circular drawn up in 1977. In particular, we are considering whether we should give more weight to the relationship between a potential parish area and the district in which it exists, rather than simply setting an absolute upper limit on what should be the size of parishes.
I hope that my noble friend will be good enough to take these comments in the spirit in which they are made. I believe that it would be good to allow for popular opinion to initiate a process leading to a new parish council, but the method of initiation proposed in the Bill is inadequate. I hope that my noble friend will consider the suggestions which I have made and will be able to reflect on the matter.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I am most grateful to the Minister for allowing me to intervene. His suggestions to the noble Lord, Lord Sandys, are very positive and helpful. If the noble Lord wishes to seek the assistance of officials in his department, might such help be available to him?
Earl Ferrers: Yes, my Lords, I am entirely at my noble friend's disposal. We like the idea of the creation of parishes, but the Bill as presently drafted excludes the Secretary of State in a way that would be undesirable and would enable parishes to follow their own momentum. If my noble friend wishes to seek any help, I shall be more than happy to give it to him.
That said, I am so glad that the noble Lord, Lord McIntosh, thought that I was being helpful. It took him the whole of my speech to realise that, but I was actually trying to be helpful. I hope that my noble friend will choose to consider those points for his Bill.
Lord Sandys: My Lords, I greatly appreciate all the contributions to this debate. My noble friend Lord Mottistone put his finger on the heart of the matter; namely, that support must spring from the grass roots.
We are concerned with a disparity of representation. It should be emphasised to my noble friend the Minister that there are thought to be over 35.5 million subjects of Her Majesty who are not enfranchised at the local level. I am advised that that figure is correct. I am further advised that it covers the whole of England.
I shall have to take advice in seeking a correct response to the question posed by the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, as to whether only 30 parishes were created in recent years, and the status of London. The noble Baroness will know, as I do, that the Redcliffe-Maud report excluded London entirely. But the government of London has subsequently changed. Therefore there may well be an enabling procedure whereby parishes may be created in London. I do not know at the present time.
Turning to the difficulties that are presented and the very receptive manner in which my noble friend the Minister replied, it would be extraordinarily valuable if
I thank all who participated in the debate. I commend the Bill to the House.
On Question, Bill read a second time, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House.

Kilns are expensive. I hadn't realised quite how expensive until I looked into buying one.
But, as I only want to work with glass, I don't need something as big and powerful as is required for ceramics, and have settled on a specialist glass kiln. Small, compact, but quite big enough for my intentions for the foreseeable future. I was concerned that something that gets as hot as a kiln may be a step too far for my all-wood workshop. But I was assured, by the aptly-named and very helpful Warm Glass Company of Bristol, that it would be fine as the exterior of the kiln doesn't get much hotter than a radiator.
I was tremendously excited when the kiln arrived, packed up in an enormous box all the way from Portland, Oregon. It took some time and effort and the help of my long-suffering partner, to get it out of the box (which wouldn't fit through the door) and into my studio.
It lay in the middle of the floor for a few days, until I got some ceramic floor tiles to sit it on and until the rest of my tools arrived.
Once it was installed on the metal stand and was all ready to go, I suddenly became a little nervous of it and wasted another few days shilly-shallying around and being busy with other things.
I had been given a large quantity of art glass by a local community outfit who are hoping I might be up to doing some workshops for them next year and, having selected a sheet of what looked like 3mm thickness, I decided to give it a go.
I have always found glass-cutting a bit of a dark art in the past, but after taking Brad Walker's advice in his 'Contemporary Fused Glass', I bought a medium-range oil-filled cutter and am surprised how easy it is – once you have the right tools!
I have read a lot about using compatible glass (which has the same COE – Coefficient of expansion) in the various library books I've got (and the Brad Walker book) but as I had no idea of the COE of the gifted glass, I just had to give it a try.
I had also bought a student pack of Bullseye glass offcuts, which I am reliably informed has a COE of 90.
I cut a 5″ square from the glass that I'd been given and cut a few vaguely Christmas tree shapes from one of the green Bullseye glass pieces. I laid the green shapes on the clear glass and, after lining the kiln shelf with the Thinfire paper which came with the kiln, I placed the tile on the shelf and was ready to go.
The beauty of my new kiln is that it comes pre-programmed with a number of automatic programmes which allow beginners to get going without having to write their own firing schedules. All I had to decide was if I wanted a Fast, Medium or slow heating rate which depended on the thickness and size of my piece. Impatiently, but rightly, it turns out, I went for Fast! I also had to choose from Full fuse, tac or slump. That was of course Full fuse.
When the kiln started, about 3:15pm and for the next few hours, I kept to the far end of my workshop (which is 30 feet long) and fretted about things going wrong.
I had assumed that Fast meant my piece would be ready quickly, but seven hours later, the kiln was still showing a toasty 200 degrees C (even though the programme had declared itself complete after about 6 hours) so I decided to switch it off and save the pleasure of seeing my first attempt until the next morning.
And here it is.
Now you may notice the little crack on the top left hand side. That wasn't there when I first opened the kiln and didn't appear until 48 hours later! So at first glance I was delighted and declared to anyone who would listen that it had been a success and about all the things I was going to make with my gifted glass.
I had of course read that this was likely to happen with untested glass and cracks could appear on firing or even months or years later! I don't know if it may also be because I only used one layer of glass and an accent layer. If I had read the books more fully before I got started, I would have realised that 'glass needs two layers' and I should have used a base layer, a design layer and an accent layer.
The impatience of beginners!
I was a little disappointed when the crack appeared as it means I'm going to have to buy some compatible clear glass for my planned projects. But I have plans for the gifted glass and I hope to share these with you in my next post.

Everything you need to understand or teach The Testament of Mary.
The Testament of Mary, written by Irish writer Colm Toibin, was awarded the 2013 Booker Prize. The novel is about Mary, the mother of Jesus. An elderly Mary narrates the story as she struggles to understand why she has lost her husband and her son Jesus. The novel has a twist in that Mary does not believe Jesus to be the Son of God.

Hong Kong: Peeping Toms make glass buildings cover up
Buildings in Hong Kong have been covering up glass staircases with stickers to deter "peeping Toms", it's been reported.
The brand new PMQ arts building has plastered its stairs and walls with opaque panels after women complained they were being filmed, the South China Morning Post reports. Women are apparently being warned to watch out because "tech-savvy perverts" are using devices which are more difficult to recognise as spying equipment, the paper says.
Other places affected include the city's Central Library, which is covering a glass footbridge and the escalators between floors, says a spokesman for Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The library is also increasing security patrols.
While no law currently exists in Hong Kong relating to secret filming, other laws could be used to prosecute the practice, according to the South China Morning Post. In 2013 police said complaints of "up-skirt" photography on Hong Kong's city railway, the MTR, had increased by more than a third in a year.

The torque on a shaft can be measured using strain gages by attaching several strain gages to the shaft in proper orientation to measure torque. Properly installed gages allow direct measurement of torsional shear strain that can be calibrated to output torque. The measurement of static and dynamic torque can be a tremendous troubleshooting tool for evaluating failures of rotating machinery that could relate to torsional loading.
Types of machinery that are commonly tested include:
The strain gages are installed on the shaft using rosette type gages that include two strain gages mounted on the same foil backing. This allows precise positioning of a pair of gages with exact 90° separation between each portion of the gage. Two rosettes are used on opposite sides of the shaft with the gage elements oriented 45° away from the axis of rotation. Alternative gage arrangements can be used to measure other loads such as bending or axial force. In these situations, other gage wiring and/or gage type and mounting location would vary.
The gages are attached using a standard Wheatstone bridge arrangement using a full bridge configuration for torque measurement. When the gages are installed using this layout, the bridge output is insensitive to temperature variation of the shaft surface and insensitive to shaft bending stresses. The only significant output on the gages will be strain related to shaft torque.
An example of a single rosette mounted on a shaft coupling spool is shown below. This picture shows a single rosette located on one side of the coupling spool. An identical gage would be located on the opposite side of the shaft.
The strain gage system on the shaft is powered and amplified using an onboard wireless transmitter. The transmitters used have self contained batteries or induction power. The wireless signal transmission is accomplished using 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology. The current products used function well in industrial environments.
The system requires a wireless receiver to capture the signals for data logging. This is accomplished using a variety of antennas and receivers depending on the measurement environment. We have installed the wireless transmitters inside compressor crankcases, motors, inside coupling guards and a variety of different locations.
The system is calibrated using a precision shunt calibration method that provides for a simulated strain input to the gage installation. When the gages are properly installed and wired, the shunt calibration provides accurate strain to torque conversion. The output from the receiving station is recorded using standard data acquisition equipment with the input signals scaled to report directly in torque units.
Measurements include both static and dynamic torque, as both are necessary for analysis of most situations. The static torque measurement also provides an additional reference point to verify the calibration based on known torque using motor amps or power from another driver.

So do any of you know washi tape, and washi sheets are? Basically very thin see-through paper tape that comes in a ton of different designs. Or at least washi tape comes in many designs… and washi sheets… well there's about 50 designs maybe? But they're all very similar!
My brilliant business idea was to make something similar like washi sheets…. and cut out squares to fit in my planner. So for my first one i decided to do a spring theme, and I came up with this:
Aren't these designs perfect for spring?
And I cut them to fit my planner so I can decorate my planner.. Can't tell you how I made them because well that's a secret :) and I don't want anyone else stealing my idea!
I got some water on this one… which is what that dark spot is...
I love this one!! The colorful flowers, definitely look like spring to me!
And I got some water on the chevron design too, but covered some up with my tv show post it :D
And this is the layout so far of my next week. i'm so in love with those squares and i'm so happy with how they came out. I can't wait to make more for other holidays and seasons. I want to do fourth of july next!
If any of you have an Erin Condren planner or any other planner, and love to decorate, maybe you can get some decorating ideas for me, and please share your pictures on this post so I can get some decorating ideas from you!
And if you're interested in wanting some spring themed squares or other washi squares, check out my easy shop ! https://www.etsy.com/shop/linamariax3
Would love to see what your planner looks like!
Please post pictures below!!

It can be a shock the first time your child swears or lies – not to mention the tantrum when he or she loses at snap! But it's all part of learning the rules of social behaviour. Our new articles on swearing, playing fair and lying can help you create an environment where your child doesn't need to swear or lie, and where having fun is more important than winning.
Children in this age group often swear because they're exploring language. It's best to ignore it completely. Read how your reactions can influence your child's swearing behaviour.
School kids sometimes swear to fit in socially. Speak to your child about swearing, rather than ignoring it. This article has more tips on teaching your child about acceptable language.
Games allow children to learn how to play fair and have fun, even without winning. They also learn social rules, like taking turns. Here's how to teach children the rules of the game.
Children might lie from three years on. It's part of their development – but so is learning to tell the truth. This article explains how to teach your child that honesty is important.
Watch this film clip on how to encourage the behaviour you want in your child. Top of the list: children do as you do. Your child watches you to get clues on how to behave in the world.
Occasional cheating is usually harmless. But if children cheat because they feel pressured to win, you might need to get involved.Learning to shareHelp children learn to share by showing them how, encouraging them when they try, and praising them when they share well.Imaginary friendsMake-believe friends grow out of healthy active imaginations. They give children playmates to practise their social skills with. BullyingBullying can be physically and emotionally damaging for children. If you think your child is being bullied, you need to step in.

- An exclusive 2GB USB flash drive replica of Jim Raynor's dog tag, preloaded with the original StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War expansion set
- A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, cinematics with director's commentary, and more
- The official StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty soundtrack CD, containing 14 epic tracks from the game along with exclusive bonus tracks
- StarCraft comic book issue #0, a prequel to the comic series
- A World of Warcraft mini Thor in-game pet that can be applied to all World of Warcraft characters on a single Battle.net account
- Exclusive Battle.net downloadable content, including special portraits for your Battle.net profile, decals to customize your units in-game, and a visually unique version of the terran Thor unit
Check out the video above for a full rundown on the kit and a look at each component. Like other collector's editions, this one is all all about pleasing the hardcore fans of the series. It seems like Blizzard did a pretty great job of that. Sure it's $40, but people have had 10 years to save up for it (well, and the game's other upcoming releases).
Thoughts? Worth the extra $40 over the standalone game?

Board basis options available
This property caters for the following special dietary requirements
Stretching across the west lake promenade on Lake Como, Tremezzo borders on the resorts of Lenno and Menaggio. Tremezzo is one of Lake Como's quieter treasures, with a small but beautiful medieval sector of the town with winding cobbled streets and grand 18th and 19th century houses and hotels lined up along the promenade. Nestled under the watchful gaze of Mount Crocione with great views across the lake towards Bellagio, the area of Tremezzo is also known as the Azalea Riviera because of the masses of stunning azaleas and rhododendrons, camellias and magnolias that bring the whole place to life with their vibrant and multicoloured blossoms.
Tremezzo is extremely well linked to other towns across Lake Como with efficient ferry and bus services going to and from your home base.
Tremezzo restaurants and food
Situated in the hotel La Darsena, the lovely restaurant here has a fantastic lake-side dining room and terrace that really captures the essence of Lake Como in the evenings when the sun goes down. The menu is multicultural with strong influences from French and Italian cuisine, there is something for everyone regardless of your palette.
Based in the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, next door to the Hotel Bazzoni is the delicious fine dining La Terrazza restaurant. The lakeside terrace overlooks the mountains and is truly spectacular when the sun is setting in the evening. The menu itself serves gourmet Italian cuisine with an extensive wine list.
Pizzeria Balognett is reported to be the best pizza on the lake, and you are guaranateed a warm welcome from your hosts. Great collection of homemade organic pizzas on the menu with a variety of traditional and modern to try.
Tremezzo bars and wine
As previously mentioned, the bar in the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, next door to the Hotel Bazzoni has an outstanding lake-side terrace and this makes it a perfect location to sit and have a glass of wine while watching the sun sink below the horizon and the lights along the promenade flicker into life.
Regarded as one of the best bars in Tremezzo, Cantina Follie also makes a fantastic restaurant. Located in a wine cellar, the menu consists of traditional homemade Italian goodness that has been highly rated by guests, but the crowning glory is the extensive knowledge of wines from the area provided by the two owners. There is also a beautiful al fresco court yard outside for those summer evenings.
Tremezzo shopping
Shopping in the immediate vicinity of Tremezzo itself is limited, but why not take the opportunity to visit the nearby city of Milan for some serious shopping? The excursion runs once a week and while you are there you can grab plenty of wonderful Italian handmade leather goods, fashion, glassware, souvenirs and more.
The Inghams excursion that goes to the beautiful medieval town of Bergamo can be a real exciting trip for the treasure hunters out there, for the town is filled with handmade craft shops selling unique ceramics, jewellery, home decorations and other items that will make fantastic gifts for your friends and family back home.
Tremezzo spas and relaxation
Next door to the Hotel Bazzoni sits the 5-star Grand Hotel Tremezzo which is home to one of the most luxurious spas on the lake. T Spa has some perfectly unspoilt views of the lake from the indoor infinity swimming pool, guests are able to de-stress and unwind with a variety of wonderful treatments. There is also a yoga studio set in the beautiful grounds and gardens of the hotel for a truly unwinding experience.
Tremezzo arts, culture and events
Lake Como truly comes to life during the summer months with vibrant festivals, culture and artistic events. Sagra de San Giovanni is the summer festival in the last week of June that celebrates Como's wonderful history, through music, folk culture, art and food. Como Summer Festival is a big festival of music with concerts being held in a variety of unusual and unique venues across the lake. From classical music to modern jazz and pop music, it's not an event to be missed! For any car enthusiasts out there, you may have heard of the internationally renowned Concorso d'Eleganza car festival. A truly luxurious event that is often for invited guests only but spectators are allowed to come along and see the fantastic array of rare and one-off super cars.

Sweeney Todd was a hero of a guy who was wronged a few too many times. So he went a little crazy and started killing everyone. Oops. It was a little tragic but look at the guy's record. A judge wants this poor Benjamin Barker's (He didn't even start with a good name) wife and daughter all to himself so he gives the guy a false charge and sentences him to life in prison and at that a prison all the way in Australia! He then comes back only to have any speck of a life he had left there fall apart entirely. Well at least we got a sweet musical about it.
At last your right arm will be complete again with this costume including the iconic straight edge razor (plastic of course). You'll be the talk of the town as the greatest barber on your street. Maybe you can open up a nice little meat pie shop in the store below you.

Anam Cara Founder
Anam Cara House Geelong started as a dream that of Founder, Diane Wright.
Through many years of effort, Dianes vision of creating a respite and palliative care facility in a homelike environment has been realised. Her commitment to seeing the community hospice project culminate in a functioning facility saw her meet with hundreds of community leaders, politicians, service groups and members of the Geelong and Colac communities to advocate on behalf of Anam Cara Geelong.
Through her efforts, and those of a dedicated team of volunteers and supporters, the Geelong community rallied and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the initial fit-out of the Anam Cara Geelong property formerly the St Marys Presbytery.
Without Dianes vision and dedication, Anam Cara Geelong would not exist.
Its come together as a result of people having the courage and vision to believe a hospice would be supported by the Geelong community

Through a late night conspiracy broadcast, a frantic caller claims human beings from the future are living on the moon, controlling our every action. His call is cut short, but when a box of unusual materials arrives at the radio station several days later, filmmakers Matt and Sonny become involved and pursue the story, following the lead and chasing a set of hidden coordinates deep into Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. An enormous and dark underground facility reveals there may be more truth to the caller's story than believed, and quickly entangles the filmmakers in uncovering a history that was meant to be long forgotten. They narrowly escape with one unusual artifact, but soon find themselves in a threatening encounter with the bizarre and reclusive Church of Lunology, an organization very dedicated to keeping their mysterious secrets, and silencing anyone who stands in their way... www.imdb.com...

Make the waffle batter: Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, melted butter and coconut oil, egg yolks and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until combined (it's OK if a few lumps remain).
In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the cherry sauce: Bring the cherries and their juice, preserves and maple syrup to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until syrupy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract. Set aside until ready to serve.
Cook the waffles: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Preheat a waffle iron (preferable Belgian-style). Lightly brush the waffle iron with melted butter; pour in the batter, filling each compartment about three-quarters full. Close and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the waffles to the rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat to make more waffles, brushing the waffle iron with more butter each time.
Thin the cherry sauce with a splash of water, if necessary. Serve the waffles with whipped cream and the sauce.

2008-06-28 42 -71
Sat 28 Jun 2008 in 42,-71:
This geohash is located in the Boston, Massachusetts graticule in the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest just south of a logging road. And alternate meetup location has been proposed for said logging road just north of the location.
According to the DCR's [trail map] of the state forest, the actual point is just off the Family Loop Trail, only about a half mile from the main entrance. Given that the logging road is closed to motor vehicles, the actual point is probably as easy to get to as the alternate meetup location suggested above.
4:00pm Meetup[edit]
- User:Pixel is planning to hit four different graticules that day, ending up at this location hopefully around 4pm.
- xaco is planning to try out his new GPS and make the meetup at 4pm. Tim from work is also joining him.
- Sparky will be there.
- User:rmo25 will be biking there with a few others.
- Alternative Option: Pinecone is interested in using his experimental decihash system to meet up at 55 Mt Vernon St, Boston, just a block from the Boston Gardens. See his user page for details on how this location was arrived at. Two other people have said Yes so we are a GO. There is cake, repeat, THERE WILL BE CAKE.
It seems there were two separate expeditions made. The Alternative Option also made it to their objective.
Group 1[edit]
sparkyb was a little late to the 4pm meetup (because I only put in the hash coordinates to my GPS, but the forest main entrance and parking was a lot harder to find than I expected). When I was almost at the hash I met one guy who was leaving and informed me that I was late and everyone had just left. I visited the spot anyway, took some pictures, and then fled from the mosquitoes eating me alive. When I got back to my car I met up with Xkcd, Pixel, and 5 others who had walked back a different way. We went and got pizza at a nearby place.
Group 2[edit]
User:rmo25 made it out on bike with four committed--if tardy--first-time geohashers. We arrived at around 5:30 to find...mosquitoes.
Decihash Expedition[edit]
Following the dictates of his experimental decihash system, Pinecone met up with Bret at 55 Mt Vernon St, Boston which is a historic something or other on Beacon Hill. We marked, we ate cake, but we forgot the game! Also established contact with Group 1 above, perhaps achieving the first real time interhash communication system?

Date: 7/1/2008
The Planning Officers Society (POS) has welcomed the opportunity to replace a relatively outdated part of Government planning policy. However, it says the new draft PPS4 comes as something of a disappointment. Whilst there is not a lot in it to disagree with, there also seems to be little that could not have been said about the approach to economic development of any government of the past twenty years.
The main impact is likely to be felt in the new requirement for an enhanced evidence base. POS says we must await the detailed guidance to see how high the evidential bar will be set, and what this will mean for the cost and timing of LDF production. It hopes that the evidence requirements will be proportionate to the added value that the evidence-gathering brings to the plans based on it.
Whilst POS supports the new emphasis on the economic aspects of development, it will watch with interest to see what the consequences of this are for environmental and quality of life considerations. These are also important decisions for the business community to invest and remain in a location, and a short-term rush for economic growth at all costs could be just as damaging to our long-term economic welfare as an approach that is unduly restrictive.
Stuart Hylton, for the Society, said "We would hope that the final version of PPS4 will give clearer guidance about how the tensions which often exist between economic, social and environmental considerations are to be reconciled".

Chances for storms return for the Kansas City area Sunday through Tuesday following Friday's showers, the National Weather Service says.
Widespread showers Friday morning left as much as a quarter inch of rain in Lee's Summit and a few other locations, but most areas got much less. A squall line moved across the Kansas City metro area Friday evening with lightning and heavy downpours.
Saturday was forecast to be mostly sunny, with a high near 86, while Sunday was to be warmer with highs in the lower 90s and heat index values as high as 96.
Showers and thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, were likely Sunday night, with a 70 percent chance of rain. Showers and thunderstorms were forecast to continue Labor Day into Tuesday though chances of precipitation were to decrease each day. Highs were to be in the mid- to upper 80s; lows were to be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

My first home, the home that Ty and I moved to when he was 18 months old, the house that he and I have messed and blessed for the last 4 years is for sale and, God willing, will not be our little home much longer.
We will be moving on to newer and bigger things but taking hundreds of precious and priceless memories with us of this perfect little home that has suited us so well for so long.
I hope the next owner gets half-as much out of this house as we have and that they treasure every little memory they make in it.

On Friday May 3, women around the world will get on their motorcycles and ride in celebration of International Female Ride Day. Now in its seventh year, the concept was initiated by Vicki Gray of Motoress, a Toronto based organization that "Connects Women with Motorcycling" through its global online community and magazine. The day is designed to bring awareness to the fact that female riders comprise an escalating segment of the motorcycling community – not only a hobby but something women incorporate into their every day lives. Women enthusiastically prepare to ride and unite around the world on this synchronized day.
Canadian Kawasaki Motors is a proud participant of International Female Ride Day and we are glad to represent female riders in Canada and across the globe.

England, late 12th century. King Richard the Lionhearted, is back from the Crusades, and has been taken prisoner at Durensteien Castle in Austria. His chances of escaping are slim; his ransom, exorbitant. In his absence, his brother, Prince John, has taken over the throne with the help of some powerful Norman barons. Extortion, racketeering, taxation of all sorts, and the proclamation of unjust laws have become par for the course. The people of England are bending to the will of these unscrupulous individuals. But North of Nottingham, in the heart of Sherwood Forest, one man refuses to give in to the Normans. This rebel, an outstanding archer, calls himself Robin Hood.
In one of the most exciting PC games of the year, players are immersed into the magical world of Robin Hood. As Robin Hood, players are sworn to return the throne to King Richard. To do this, they must collect enough gold to pay the King's ransom and chase Prince John from the Kingdom.
There are over 40 separate missions of three different types;
- Robbery and Infiltration: here players must find their way into enemy castles in order to seize riches amassed by the Normans on the backs of the poor; free hostages; attend secret meetings; or prevent the marriage of Marian to the despicable Guy of Guisbourne.
- Castle Attack: here players must help the Saxons to conquer an enemy-occupied castle. They must weaken strategic Norman posts in order to make an invasion by the Saxon army possible.
- Ambush: a smaller mission in Sherwood in which players must stop the tax collector's convoy by trapping and attacking its escort or weaken enemy troops on their way to sieges.
Before every mission, players select five team members on the basis of their individual abilities. To successfully complete the operation, players must rely on their skill as tacticians and utilize the competencies of each of their companions, without getting them captured or killed.
The simple and highly intuitive interface enables players to easily coordinate the actions of all five of the characters. For example, while Friar Tuck is taking down a guard, Stutely is putting the final touches on the trap he is setting, and Robin is crawling between two bushes, positioning himself for the arrival of the tax collector's carriage.
At any point, players may choose to turn on the "view cone" or "detection cone" displayed for only one enemy at a time that enables them to determine their field of vision. The system is coupled with a set of small icons that are displayed above the heads of all enemies appearing in a scene and symbolizes their mood: exclamation points for alarm, question marks for worry, storm cloud for annoyance, etc. In addition, the color of the symbols represents the intensity of the emotion: a red exclamation point indicates a maximum state of alarm.
There is no imposed linear order for the missions. Players have a choice of several missions of different kinds. They can proceed as they wish, even favoring certain types of missions over others if they so desire.
Scenarios involve all of the most memorable faces of the Robin Hood legend: Maid Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, and others. As players move through the story line, they recruit new companions, each with their own special talents. For example, when a player has saved Maid Marian, she joins the ranks of the rebels.
More than nine places have been modeled: Sherwood Forest, Nottingham Castle, Lincoln, York, Leicester, Derby and 3 forest intersections. Each of them offers one or several different atmospheres: day, night or fog. The ability to interact with the environment is also highly advanced. Players can open doors, enter buildings, go upstairs, leap onto ramparts, cling to vines, set off traps, lower drawbridges, and so on.
From castle dungeons to York Cathedral, all decors have been extensively researched in order to recreate an authentic medieval atmosphere and ensure an impressive level of detail and an unparalleled feeling of realism.

Shop Share
This open space is on the first floor of New York's high end mall, Brookfield Place - a vast shopping center by the Hudson River. Brightly lit from the huge window behind, it's beside a main entrance and directly next to the escalator leading to the second floor.
Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermes, Zegna and Bonobos all have stores in Brookfield Place, now it's your turn with this open air space. Most recently the space was used for a BlackBerry activation. It's backed by a huge window and in a high footfall spot.
All trains in Manhattan are within a five-minute walk from this mall. And nearby tourists must-see sights, like the World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, and the Hudson River Esplanade draw literally millions to the area each year.
This is an open air space, plan your activation including any structure needed to bring your idea to life.
Commerce, cuisine and culture combine in this shopping center-cum-business hub that's right on the Hudson River. With high-end boutiques and world-class dining options, this isn't your typical mall—it's a veritable wonderland where the biggest brands showcase their wares.
Since a major renovation in 2014, millions of tourists, workers, and neighborhood locals have visited the eight-million square feet of Brookfield Place. Brands in residence include Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermes, Burberry, and Diane von Furstenberg, while Hudson Eats and Le District give sophisticated foodies a chance to fill up. And the four towers of the complex are brimming with Fortune 500 companies, including Time Inc. and American Express, bringing thousands of workers in each day.
Some of New York City's biggest tourist destinations are within a short walk like the 9/11 Memorial, the Oculus, and the Statue of Liberty. But Brookfield Place has become a must-visit hotspot itself.
At Appear Here we believe in the personal touch, which is why everyone gets matched to a Concierge who is there to help you find the perfect space for your idea.

Social phobia is defined as a marked or persistent fear of social and performance situations in which the sufferer is exposed to possible scrutiny by others. It shares many of the qualities of shyness, but is far more extreme and disruptive. Agoraphobics also fear social situations, but they are afraid of the difficulty of escaping or of possible harm, rather than of being criticised. Social phobics are also more threatened by intimate situations, such as parties, than by crowds.
Generally, shyness passes once someone becomes more familiar, but I constantly fear embarrassing myself or being criticised. Even around friends, I do not feel able to be myself. Shy people can usually continue their everyday lives, but social phobia will often prevent me from doing what I want. I avoid ringing friends because I'm sure I will run out of things to say. I won't apply for jobs because I assume that, when they meet me, they'll see I'm inadequate. I have let many experiences and people pass me by because I am certain I'll act wrongly.
The problem began when I started university, although at the time I didn't understand what was wrong. Everything seemed intimidating and, without even trying to find out, I decided that everyone was far too clever and interesting to tolerate my company. I started to hide away. As with any phobia, you need to confront your fear, so isolating myself was the worst move possible.
Ever since, I have struggled. Forming new relationships is a nerve-racking ordeal. The idea of going out with friends leaves me with a feeling of dread for days beforehand. When the night comes around, I judge every word I say to be stupid or pointless. Furious with myself, I will try not to draw attention to myself by avoiding eye contact and staying silent. Afterwards, the criticism continues as I treat myself to an action replay of my most embarrassing moments.
Two years after graduating, I decided this level of anxiety wasn't normal, so I visited my GP. By this stage, I had begun shaking noticeably in social situations. At times I struggled to concentrate because I was so preoccupied with hiding my nerves. My doctor recommended me for cognitive behavioural therapy - it was a huge relief to discover that other people understood and that something could be done to help.
Three months into therapy, I feel more hopeful. It is a slow process - after all, you are questioning ways of thinking that have been automatic for years. Some people will argue that I'm just quiet and should accept that. What's wrong with being quiet? Well, nothing. I don't want to be magically transformed into a chatterbox. Life would be extremely dull, not to mention noisy, if we were all constantly blathering on at each other. Just the ability to blather on when I felt like it would suit me fine.

Lesson 3 of 4
Objective: SWBAT match supporting details to a central message or sentence.
Big Idea: This is a very exciting lesson. Students peel the onion back to make connections between details and the central message.
Common Core Connection
I have been teaching RL1.2, which is all about determining the central message and supporting details. My students are really struggling determining what are the important details that go with the central message. So, this lesson is designed to get the students to connect details to a specific central message.
Introductory Activity
The students watch about 90 seconds from the beginning of each clip. Then each person tells their partner the story of Cinderella. This is when I assess who knows the story (in case I have to help some students who aren't familiar with it). Next, I ask the students to tell their partner what the central message is in Cinderella. I am assessing their knowledge of the lesson skill with (hopefully) familiar material at this point.
Guided Practice
My strategy here is to compare the detail in a story to layer in an onion.
I bring in a real onion, and I peel it to get students excited while explaining that the layers are like the details in a story, but the big idea/central message is the whole onion (onion video). Then I take each piece of the onion and tape it to the board. I also remind them of the previous stories we have read and I give them one example of the details and central message. The Little Red Hen had the central message, 'If you want things you must work.' A detail is that the dog did not help."
The students talk to their partners about several important details in Cinderella. Several students share out and I add the details to the board by comparing them to the layers in an onion. We write a general statement about what happens in the story on the board (board work). The general statement is just a way to help students see the connection between the details and a general statement.

Partner Work
We go back to the lounge area from their desks. I want to have students get some practice understnding just the relationship between the details and the central message, so we practice using non-text topics.
I give them each a central message or "big idea." I ask each person to match three details that support the central message. I give them the sentence already cut out and they match the details to the central message.
Example 1: Big Idea/Central Message - Dogs are fun pets.
- They play with balls.
- They eat treats.
- Dogs do tricks.
Example 2: Big Idea/Central Message - You shouldn't tell lies.
- Your nose will grow with each lie.
- People will dislike you.
- You will be sad.
Check out the matching template (matching details). The bold words are the central message and the details are not bold.
I give the students their central message and about five minutes to match the supporting details. After five minutes they can share with a peers. Then they have five more minutes to work. Peer sharing allows them to generate more ideas. I am walking around helping them come up with ideas and giving them support the whole time.

Class Reflection
We are joined on the lounge area. They practice their listening and speaking skills by sharing their work. I say, "Criss cross apple sauce pockets on the floor hands in your laps talking no more. Eyes are looking at the speaker, and you are thinking about what they are saying."
I select three students to share their work. The rest of the class will give thumbs up or down to agree or disagree. This allows me to assess who understands and who does not. I can also add extra explanations in if I need to.
I remind them that we are studying the big idea. I say, "The main idea is the big idea." Then they echo and tell a friend. Then they repeat it with me. This repitition builds their knowledge of the new information. It also reminds them of the big goal for the lesson. I explain that we will continue to work with main idea in fiction and non-fiction text. I tell them that we will increase the complexity of the text as we study deeper into main idea.
They beg to do this rap every time I mention main idea. So, we do it all the time.
