Gordie Sadler
5 String Banjo
See full profile
Gordie Sadler teaches 5 string banjo in the Earl Scruggs style, which is the most popular style for the banjo in bluegrass music. The focus is on preparing the beginner student to learn to play along with other musicians and to quickly begin enjoying the pleasure of making music with others. Gord's method leads the student through the basic chords and right hand rolls used in simple melodies and then progresses to a "building block" approach to integrate standard phrases or "licks" with melodic improvisations. Teaching this way promotes the techniques of learning by ear while understanding the use of written tablature enables students to practice exercises easily at home. Gordie has been playing banjo since 1970 and is a founding member of B.C.'s longest running bluegrass band, 5 On A String, established in 1989. He has taught banjo workshops at many regional bluegrass festivals and the annual week long Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshop in 100 Mile House.

Six Day Walk (4):
Pipeline over Clough Fold
This is the fourth post of some photographs of a walk I took some weeks ago. I'm sharing this walk with you over six days.
We started by walking down steps to Church Brow and took the path by Gower Bank which leads to the junction of Clough Fold Road and Fawley Avenue.
We then followed a footpath between fences.
We are now in a little wooded valley through which a thin stream weaves its way. A pipeline bridges the valley on brick piers. What it carries I have no idea.

The majority of us suppose the mature we get, the forgetful we become. Reports have discovered that seniors overlook more regularly once they are required to. For instance, on storage assessments, seniors rating excellent in China as well as in this tradition, they are never informed how forgetful they are. Reports are demonstrating how essential a correct diet along with our intake of food really has been in increasing our potential. Great, healthy food has got the capability to develop by assisting the tissues of the system function correctly thinking. A great diet absolutely influences brain's procedure -associated nutrients, aids eliminate mobile waste, and help you to nurture brain cells' framework. a healthful diet along with correct diet may also help control substances that are essential that help impacts and in a number of psychological procedures the quantity of power and air that is sent to the mind.
Even whenever we eat, and what we consume comes with an impact on our brainpower. Breakfast, for me, may be the day's most significant dinner because it performs with a vital part in jumpstarting the mind following a lengthy rest without any nutrition. It is been discovered among college-aged kids that created much more errors within their schoolwork than people who consumed a great breakfast. This pertains to their function as well as people. Breakfast is very important simply be sure you are currently consuming the best ingredients. Your mind will not be helped by sweet breakfasts with small natural benefit throughout the day. Actually, they are able to cause you to feel irritable tired, and throughout major. Ensure that you choose healthy breakfast foods.
Avoid processed food items for optimum brainpower, and processed sugar, easy sugars. Low- healthy whole-foods greens and fruits are options that are excellent. Here are a few particularly excellent vitamins that will help provide your mind a raise. Choline is in production the storage nerve chemical acetylcholine crucial by synapsl. Your body makes some, but you are able to perhaps enhance your storage and obtain more from the food by the addition of nuts, egg yolks, machines yeast and wheat germ. Antioxidants for example Vitamin – A, may block radicals D, and E and certainly will actually help defend against Alzheimer's illness. Kiwi, peas, cantaloupe broccoli, prunes, and apples are in improving your antioxidant consumption all fantastic options. B vitamins perform a large part in brain and nerve function. Increase your consumption by the addition of pears, collard greens, poultry, fish, and low fat dairy into your diet. Metal helps you to bring air towards the body. Ripe cereal poultry and slim red foods can help the body obtain the metal it requires.

How many people in today's lifestyle know the true meaning of a healthy lifestyle? For some maintain the right weight might be the meaning of a healthy lifestyle and for some following the right exercise pattern might be the right meaning of a healthy lifestyle. In all this the correct meaning of a healthy lifestyle is lost somewhere. A healthy lifestyle means overall body fitness which also means taking care of a very important organ namely skin. It is been noticed that skin is one factor which people these days tend to ignore. And before time it is noticed that wrinkles and visible fine lines start appearing on the face which inturn makes them look older than their age.
Nobody these days wants to look older than their age. Everybody wants to look a couple of years younger with a radiant looking skin. Since we all know that aging is an inevitable process the least we can do is eat the right food and ensure to slower the pace of aging. Food is something that affects the overall health and care of the body including the skin. People, who are genuinely concerned about their aging process and are looking out for ways and means to anti age, should have a diet plan that comprising of high antioxidants.
Antioxidants are mainly responsible for the oxidation process that takes place in the body. Antioxidants contain vital nutrients such as vitamins and minerals as well as important enzymes like proteins. Apart from an important source in anti aging, the antioxidants are also believed in preventing the development of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and cataracts.
Therefore it is well noticed that anti aging diet mainly comprises of fruits and vegetables. Leafy greens, deep red tomatoes, blue berries and carrots prevent the un healthy molecules from damaging the healthy skin cells. Hence people should ensure to refrain from eating fried food and fill their plates with salads and fruits.
It has been noticed that the main reason that causes anti aging in muscular degeneration. Increase in the intake of vitamin C, beta-carotene and zinc avoid this problem. Spinach, collard, kale and mustard greens and some forms of dark green leafy vegetables which prove to be of great form of source in delaying the aging process. People can also avoid the dark circles and keep those eyes shiny and bright by including pepper, corn, oranges, cantaloupe and cucumbers.
Vitamin C is mainly responsible for ensuring your skin looks young. Study has proved that consumption of yellow and green vegetables in everyday diet is responsible for fewer wrinkles. However other than antioxidants there are other forms of foods as well that assist in anti aging for e.g. – various forms of diary produces, Fish and Whole grains food stuffs.
Whilst a diet can comprise of lots of good and healthy intakes, there are absolute Don'ts as well.
- Avoid fried food
- Avoid sugary food
- Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol
- Avoid smoking
Small little care with regards to the diet is a must. Everybody should ensure to live a healthy life thus maintaining a healthy diet resulting in looking young as well. Therefore a good diet plan with a regular exercise regime should be a part of everybody's daily routine.

Scotland has developed a uniquely rich and diverse culture throughout its history, for which it is globally recognised. Boasting a heritage of both historical and modern proportions, the island nation is as famous for its legendary literary figures, as it is for its range of sought after whiskies, its breathtaking natural beauty and its internationally renowned food offerings.
Indeed, Scotland sees millions of tourists from around the world flocking to the country each year, keen to experience its impressive scenery, bustling city life and the unparalleled opportunities for exploration into such places as the wilderness of the Highlands or one of the 790 surrounding islands.
And, with the legend of Loch Ness having travelled the globe, films like Trainspotting being screened world-wide and exports of its home-grown food and beverages representing the country's largest overseas market, Scotland has ensured itself a firm place on the international stage, as well as guaranteeing continued interest from tourists and residents alike.
Although many associate Scotland with the stereotypical symbols of tartan, kilts and the bagpipes, it is the country's food and drink products which form a huge and very important part, of its cultural offering. Indeed, the food and drink sector generates ?7.4 billion in sales annually; an impressive sum, given that the majority of Scottish food producers operate on a small scale, often as family businesses and using local ingredients.
Perhaps the most famous of all its home-grown products is whisky (not to be confused with whiskey!). Comprising around ?3 billion of the annual food and drink sales for the country, Scottish whisky is a much sought after beverage globally, and prices for the rarer blends and malts can fetch thousands of pounds.
However, it is not just Scotch whisky that is celebrated around the world. Scotland's food industry is increasing year on year and with a reputation for high quality produce and fresh, local ingredients, Scotland is a major player in the seafood, meat and dairy sectors as well.
And, with the country surrounded by water on three sides – the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest – as well as rich, arable farmland, due to the temperate weather conditions, it is easy to see why the quality of Scottish produce is second to none.
Scotland has very cleverly marketed its food and beverage products, and as a result its offerings, including haggis (a combination of meats, spices and oatmeal, traditionally enclosed in a sheep's stomach), shortbread, cheeses and Arbroath 'smokies' (smoked haddock) are known worldwide.
Numerous festivals have been established over the years, both in Scotland and around the world, which are designed to celebrate the fantastic

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 221913
Some extensions are missing
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:52 EST
Description of problem:
i ve installed epiphany extensions and i found that ad blocker,News feed
subscription,auto reload tab, greasymonkey are missing...
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Simpy go to tools->extensions and check.
Steps to Reproduce:
Actual results:
Expected results:
Additional info:
Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that upstream does not build the
extensions by default. Rather than forcing them to build manually, we (Chris
Aillon and I) prefer deviating as little as possible from upstream's setup.
However, work is underway to fix them up a bit and enable them by default in
upstream's sources. Once that is done, everyone (including Fedora's package)
benefits from it.
I have a self-built (though entirely unofficial and unsupported) package that is
built with all extensions enabled. When I get home, I will post them for your
convenience if you'd like.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 218179 ***
thanks for the info. I didnt notice a bugzilla bug for this issue (but i didnt
search for closed) so i filled one...
Epiphany is my browser of choice and i would like to use ad block and news feed.
So post the packages, i want them!!!

And just to make it explicitly clear: These are entirely unsupported officially.
Any bug reports, et al. should be reproducable with the stock (as-shipped by
Fedora Extras) packaging. Granted, I've been building them on my own for nearly
a year and have seen virtually no bugs or other issues; but your mileage may
vary, as the saying goes. They carry the same warning as any other third-party
packages: If it breaks, you keep the pieces.

Capella University Reviews
Browse Reviews by Popular Programs:
The value of the PhD from compelled the is multi-folded: I. It afforded an online community, and summer courses, that offered an excellent cross-cultural study group. 2. Their guest speakers and lectures were some of the major contributors in the field of psychology which would not have been available in one brick and mortar institution. 3. It offered a pill for a of job opportunities from classmates who live around the world. 4. It was the most eclectic academic experience I have had outside of my studies at the Frei University in Berlin Germany. 5. To me, it was the closest American education program that paralleled my European studies in both Germany and France - excellent learning opportunities were afforded each student and creativity was praised.
The program didn't prepare me for the working in a new field. There is nothing to show what I can do that will give me a chance. The after graduation follow up is nonexistent. There is no industry tie in what so ever so you on your own. The only help is a review of my resume. Getting in the door of a company with a degree from this school is impossible. The school has made no attempt to forge alliances with companies. My time was wasted and my money was wasted. The "school" sold me on this degree making me employable. What a joke. If you are considering this school getting you further in your career, look elsewhere.
Go somewhere else. You will not get anything more from Capella than you will get anywhere else, but you will get it 100 times cheaper. Capella is no different than other schools anymore in that they set their tuition based on knowing what the government will give you in loans. There was a time when I was younger tuition was reasonable and the loans helped you live while you studied hard. Now, schools pay their teachers crap, but their administrator executives million dollar salaries with golden umbrella retirement packages (work 5 years get full retirement) so they make sure they max out tuition to the very limit so they get the most money. Anyway, teachers are okay, some bad, some too political (like every college that hires liberals). Here is the worst - when your money is coming in they are the worlds best friend, when it isn't or you're having trouble and once they can't pressure you, they drop you like a sack of potatoes. Just go somewhere else.
As a recent graduate of Capella's MSN program (nursing education), I would like to say the curriculum prepared me for my teaching role. While enrolled, the college where I work went through a board of nursing accreditation. The concepts learned helped me prepare for that process. I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable in their field and always willing to help. They always provided timely feedback when needed and when personal issues arose, were willing to work with me. I put in a lot of effort towards my studies and I am proud of the grades received even if I did not earn an A due to subpar work. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in pursing higher education.
Capella university is garbage do not go here if you can help it. They are trying to say I owe money for a class that was dropped before it started saying I was not supposed to get full disbursement when clearly I have been getting full disbursement every quarter with one class. I have asked them on numerous occasions to validate the debt in writing they still have not done it. But they state the debt is valid then why can they not validate it. I am beyond furious with their business practices if I could sue them I certainly would as a matter of fact I may look into that as a option. Somebody needs to teach them they can't falsely state you owe debt you do not. So I am unable to finish school because of this "false debt" they claim I owe. I basically wasted over 60,000 with them to still not end up with a degree this school ruined my life. Please do not attend here if you can help it
I have attended more than a few schools of higher education in my life, from technical certificate programs to 4-year private schools. Capella has got to be the worst of them. They have no regard for students needs, preferences, etc. It seems as long as they are getting that financial aid money and keeping students quiet and enrolled, they are quite happy to do nothing for it. If you have a problem with any aspect of the school, good luck getting help to solve it. If you have a question about any aspect of your course or coursework, don't ask since you will NOT receive any answers, not even any guidance on how to find the answer yourself. Worst school ever! DO NOT ENROLL here!
If you want to loose over $120,000 and your sanity, perhaps your job and family too, then go to Capella....I hope to God every night that they get slapped with a HUGE lawsuit or something....in either case, they have destroyed my life, and I am not the only one...I have nothing left and the strange part is I completed 100% of their curriculum yet did not graduate, and I'm not the only one, read more reviews on line!
I earned a Ph.D in Human Services in 2010. Did I know that studying at a for profit institution would be a gamble? Yes, I did. Still, as a professor at a community college already working on a tenure track back in 2003, I can assure you that I weighed the pros and cons of enrolling very carefully. Ultimately, Capella is/was fully accredited and it allowed me the flexibility to work full-time, raise a family, and reach my highest educational goal. As a professor myself, at no time did I ever feel as though my program's curriculum was second rate. All of my professors, courses, mentors, and residential requirements were challenging. I learned a lot and have drawn upon my years at Capella to earn tenure and contribute to my discipline. All that said, my credentials have been "put down" by some of my less than enlightened colleagues at my institution and elsewhere. All I can do is my best as an alum. To be very candid, it is my assertion that the differences between a non-profit and a for-profit University are actually few and far between. For example: non-profit administrators are eager to see a "surplus" of funds in any given year... surplus is another name for "profit." In closing, I value my earned Ph.D from Capella University and recommend the institution for adult, non-traditional learners.
I am very pleased with Capella. The initial school advisors and my assigned advisor were/ are very helpful. Like all things, you get out of it what you put in to it. I find the course work challenging and my instructors knowledgeable and responsive. The quality of some of the other students work is not graduate level. Perhaps stricter admitting requirements would help. All in all, I have learned a great deal and the leadership concentration is competency based. I would prefer a brick and mortar school for a PhD only to have face to face interaction for real time instruction and attention. For the graduate level, however, I am very pleased. Just for the record, I went to brick and mortar for my a Associates and had a GPA of 3.5. I also went to a brick and mortar University for my Bachelors with a GPA of 3.75. I currently have a 4.0 at Capella and have put in the time and work because I have not had to commute anywhere. Capella is a good school. Your personal experiences need to be aligned with what they are capable of offering.
I would like to clarify that I do not write reviews but If I could save someone from falling I would write one. Capella is a joke. They will call you all hours of the day trying to get you to commit. Once you commit you now work of their time. My advisor would take days to email me back once he knew he got me. I am disappointed in this school because the financial team is horrible. The financial team told me I could not go to school because another school paid and extra 30.00 in school loan. Really?? 30.00!? After contacting my loan services & showing proof of documentation. I was still not cleared for 30.00 and was told I cant take my next courses( after I purchased books for 300.00). My professor spelled my name wrong each time we communicated and my name has 4 letters in it. She would also doc points but would spell my name wrong during the email. I hope that anyone that goes here do not believe the hype about the commercials. Do extensive research and choose wisely. Again, I was a real student that have dreams and hopes of finishing school. It will not be at Capella!
