St. Stephen's Anglican Church is a branch of the One, Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church instituted by Jesus Christ, faithfully
continuing the Anglican tradition.
Create and maintain a Christ-centered, Bible-believing and
Spirit-led community of Christians. We worship, grow and learn,
carrying the Gospel and Sacraments to our families and our
community. We strive to be witnesses of the Risen Christ, while
holding fast to our ancient Anglican Christian traditions, beliefs
and worship. We are in the ACA
Diocese of the West. The
Anglican Church in America is a province of the
Traditional Anglican Church (the TAC American web site and
The Messenger
Journal web site contain information about the TAC).
All of our parishes and missions are orthodox and sacramental,
continuing in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles and in the
breaking of bread, which was established by Christ as the design for
the life of the Church. As faithful stewards of the Catholic Faith
in the Anglican tradition, our teaching and practice is based solely
on the Holy Bible as interpreted by the universally accepted
Ecumenical Councils held by the whole Christian Church before any
divisions took place; and the traditional Book of Common Prayer,
which demonstrates both our Catholic Faith and Evangelical witness.
Indeed the best way to understand our faith and practice is to
take a Bible, a copy of the historic Book of Common Prayer, and come
and worship with us. The center of our worship is the Holy
Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, the Mass, the Lord's Supper,
and the Divine Liturgy. It is the only service recorded in the New
Testament as having been given us by Christ himself. You will find
that our liturgical worship involves the whole person - body, mind,
and spirit, allowing us to be active participants rather than mere
We are a continuing church body in the great Anglican Tradition
and part of the world-wide Traditional Anglican Communion.
Where We Stand
Follow this link for more information about what the Anglican Church
in America stands on current issues.
In the midst of the turbulent sea of the ever-changing world
around us, we stand on the Rock of Jesus Christ as He has been made
known to us in the teaching of the Holy Apostles, the Holy Church
and the Holy Bible. We offer you this firm foundation in order that
you may have that peace which the world cannot give; the peace of
God, which passes man's understanding. More information visit the
web page of the Church in the area you live in and contact by phone

text: We work long, hot days during the summer at TPC Sawgrass because the Bermudagrass and other ornamental plants are actively growing and needing to be maintained. That being said, we wanted to show our employees how much they matter to us, so we put on a BBQ to give them a chance to relax and unwind. It was also a great opportunity for the agronomy staff to get together with the clubhouse staff, sit back, and appreciate all the hard work they put in day in and day out!

No. 2002-370
Submitted: March 7, 2003
Opinion Issued: April 22, 2003
Decato Law Office, of West Lebanon (William A. Whitten on the brief), for the petitioner.
Denise M. Breault, pro se, filed no brief.
NADEAU, J. The petitioner, Arthur J. Breault, appeals the order of the Superior Court (Burling, J.) modifying his child support obligation to require him to pay child support to the respondent, Denise M. Breault, until their daughter graduates from college. We affirm.
The record supports the following facts. The parties share legal custody of their daughter who was born in December 1983. In 1993, the court approved a stipulated amendment to the parties agreement regarding child support. At that time, the parties agreed that the petitioner would pay child support through wage assignment in an amount established by the statutory child support guidelines until the parties daughter was eighteen or until she graduated from high school, whichever was later. Beginning in August 1993, the petitioners weekly child support obligation was $69.00.
In January 2002, while the child was still in high school, the respondent petitioned for modification of the petitioners child support obligation on the following grounds: (1) the petitioners child support payments had not been increased in several years, although his financial situation had improved; and (2) their daughter planned to begin college in September 2002. The respondent requested that the court require the petitioner to continue paying child support while the parties daughter attended college.
Following a hearing, the court ruled that the daughters attendance at college was a substantial change in circumstances that justified a modification of petitioners child support obligation. The court ordered the petitioner to continue paying child support for four years at a rate of $74.00 per week. The petitioner moved for reconsideration, which the court granted in part. Specifically, the court ordered the respondent to provide the petitioner by August 1 of every year through 2006, evidence that their daughter was attending a four-year college full-time. The court further ordered that if the parties daughter completed a two-year degree in 2004 and provided no evidence of full-time attendance at a four-year program, the petitioners child support obligation would terminate.
Trial courts have broad discretion to review and modify child support awards. See Nicolazzi v. Nicolazzi, 131 N.H. 694, 696 (1989). They are in the best position to determine the parties respective needs and their respective abilities to meet them. Id. Accordingly, we will set aside a modification order "only if it clearly appears on the evidence" that the courts exercise of discretion was unsustainable. Butterick v. Butterick, 127 N.H. 731, 736 (1986) (quotations omitted); cf. State v. Lambert, 147 N.H. 295, 296 (2001) (explaining unsustainable exercise of discretion standard).
The petitioner first asserts that, pursuant to RSA 458:35-c (1992), his child support obligation terminated, as a matter of law, when the parties daughter graduated from high school in June 2002. We disagree.
"This court, of course, is the final arbiter of the legislatures intent as expressed in the words of the statute considered as a whole." In the Matter of Coderre & Coderre, 148 N.H. 401, 403 (2002) (quotation omitted). We first examine the language of the statute, and, where possible, ascribe the plain and ordinary meanings to the words used. In the Matter of Crowe & Crowe, 148 N.H. 218, 224 (2002). "[W]hen a statutes language is plain and unambiguous, we need not look beyond it for further indication of legislative intent, and we refuse to consider what the legislature might have said or add language that the legislature did not see fit to incorporate in the statute." In re Baby Girl P., 147 N.H. 772, 775 (2002). "Furthermore, we interpret statutes in the context of the overall statutory scheme and not in isolation." Coderre, 148 N.H. at 403 (quotation omitted).
RSA 458:35-c provides, in pertinent part:
Unless the court or other body empowered by law to issue and modify support orders specifies differently, the amount of a child support obligation stated in the order for support shall remain as stated in the order until all dependent children for whom support is provided in the order shall terminate their high school education or reach the age of 18 years, whichever is later, or become married, or become a member of the armed services, at which time the child support obligation terminates without further legal action.
Pursuant to this statute, child support terminates as a matter of law upon the occurrence of the statutorily-specified events, "[u]nless the court . . . specifies differently." Thus, consistent with the plain language of RSA 458:35-c, a trial court has the discretion to issue an original or modified child support order that terminates when the child graduates from college. Nothing in the statutes plain language prohibits a trial court from so doing.
Nor is there any such limiting language in RSA 458:17, I (Supp. 2002). RSA 458:17, I, allows the court to issue orders "in relation to the support, education, and custody of the children as shall be most conducive to their benefit and may order a reasonable provision for their support and education." The word "minor" is absent from RSA 458:17, I. French v. French, 117 N.H. 696, 699 (1977). Thus, on its face, RSA 458:17, I, does not mandate that child support terminate when the child reaches the age of majority. See In the Matter of Gilmore & Gilmore, 148 N.H. 111, 113 (2002).
The plain language of RSA 458:17, I, also does not require child support to terminate upon the childs graduation from high school. The term "education" is not limited to elementary and secondary school education. Had the legislature intended the term to be so limited, it could have so stated. See id.; see also LeClair v. LeClair, 137 N.H. 213, 220 (1993) (court has jurisdiction to originate child support order after child turned eighteen and graduated from high school).
The petitioner mistakenly relies upon Gilmore to argue that while the court had discretion to order the parties to contribute to their daughters college expenses, it had no discretion to order child support payments beyond her high school graduation. See RSA 458:20 (1992).
Gilmore is distinguishable. The trial court in Gilmore dismissed the custodial parents request for continued child support; that order was not appealed. See Gilmore, 148 N.H. at 112-14. Thus, in Gilmore, we did not address the questions raised by this appeal.
Contrary to the petitioners assertions, a trial court has the discretion in both original and modified support orders to require divorced parties to contribute to their childrens college education, see LeClair, 137 N.H. at 218-19, and to require the non-custodial parent to continue paying child support while the children are attending college, see Heinze v. Heinze, 122 N.H. 358, 360 (1982).
As we explained in Gnirk v. Gnirk, 134 N.H. 199, 204 (1991):
The decision of a child to attend college is an increasingly important election. When a child has made this decision, the circumstances of the parent with whom he or she lives, as well as his or her own circumstances, may mean that the decision will effect a change substantial enough for consideration by a trial court in a petition to modify the original support order.
Accordingly, the trial court may order the parties to contribute to the costs of post-secondary education and/or may order the non-custodial parent to continue paying child support to the custodial parent, if doing so "is equitable in light of the circumstances of all of the parties." Id.; see Heinze, 122 N.H. at 360. On appeal, the petitioner does not challenge the trial courts determination that requiring him to continue paying child support was equitable under the circumstances.
Relying upon Morrill v. Millard (Morrill), 132 N.H. 685 (1990), the petitioner next argues that modifying his child support obligation was error because "the attendance of the parties[] child at college should have been anticipated by the parties and incorporated into their stipulation[s]." The petitioners reliance upon Morrill is misplaced. Although "the parties had an opportunity to negotiate the issue of paying for post-secondary education expenses," they last negotiated in 1993, when their daughter was only ten, several years before her decision to attend college. Gnirk, 134 N.H. at 205. Her qualifications and desires for post-secondary education "would not have been apparent or reasonably foreseeable" in 1993. Id. Under these circumstances, we hold that the trial court had the discretion to grant a petition to modify a support order to provide for continuation of child support while the adult child attends college. See id. at 205-06.
Finally, the petitioner argues that the trial court erroneously partially denied his motion for reconsideration. "A motion for reconsideration allows a party to present points of law or fact that the Court has overlooked or misapprehended." Webster v. Town of Candia, 146 N.H. 430, 444 (2001) (quotation omitted). We will uphold a trial courts decision on a motion for reconsideration unless the decision is an unsustainable exercise of discretion. See id.; cf. Lambert, 147 N.H. at 296.
The petitioner argues that the trial court should have fully granted his motion for reconsideration and recognized that its initial decision was legally erroneous. Having determined that the trial court did not make the legal errors the petitioner identifies, we hold that its decision to deny his motion for reconsideration was a sustainable exercise of discretion.
BROCK, C.J., and BRODERICK, DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.

Greenfest and other such events often highlight the 100th monkey effect and this year was no exception.
The advent of the "reusable" sandwich baggy is upon us. And thank goodness, as we have been washing and reusing our plastic baggies for years and I have to admit the washing is a bit tiresome and the drying is a pain, not to mention the fall-outs of bad plastics!
Several solutions hit the market at once and although we cannot yet make recommendations (as we are just now trying them ourselves) we are happy to provide a short product description & several company's websites so you can peruse and choose and let us know what you like and why.
Organic cotton, cute, cute, cute designs are great for kids and adults too. One of the more cost-friendly options: http://www.grazeorganic.com

Day 1 of SF Greenfest and it was hopping for a Friday. It looks like there are a few new products out there that could go big. Keep on the lookout for the post show report on the juiciest new products (pre peeled and sliced by OG, so you know the companies we pick are all over social and environmental best practices)! We won't leave our old favs out either so look for the fruits of our labor soon!

Hoo boy, I thought I was the only one. Multiple Chrome users on OS X are experiencing unexpected crashes, and it's happening as many as 20 times a day. I checked with the TechnoBuffalo stuff who hadn't noticed any issues, so I'm the odd man out here. But it's as annoying as all heck.
Google said it's aware of the issue and already has a fix, but only said it'll arrive "soon." The sooner the better, because it sure is annoying. There's only so many times I can handle a crashed browser. I've even considered using Safari until this thing blows over.
According to Wired, the issue only happen when users visit sites such as Google Drive and Facebook. I'm no scientist, but a quick experience in Chrome's Omnibox made the browser crash on the first try. Coincidence? It doesn't happen every time, mind you. But ugh.
I'm glad to know it's not just me, and that a fix is imminent. I'll just try and stay away from Facebook and Google Drive for a little while.

American Idol's Simon Cowell Botoxifies Regularly
November 20, 2007 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Sam Stets | Leave a Comment
Simon Cowell has finally owned up to his plastic surgery secret that has kept his youthful forehead astonishingly free of any wrinkles or lines. The 47-year old Cowell admits to getting botox regularly, but denies having plastic surgery.
What spurred Cowell's confession about using Botox was an attack from co-judge Louis Walsh on the television show The X Factor, who accused Cowell of getting as much surgery as Sharon Osbourne.
"No, absolutely not. I have not had cosmetic surgery. Yes, I've had Botox, but not in an obsessive way," says Cowell.
Cowell dismissed rumors that he uses hair color to hide gray hairs. "I've never dyed my hair, ever and I wouldn't," says Cowell.
The American Idol judge previously spoke about how he thought that cosmetic surgery looks unattractive on men.
"I wouldn't have plastic surgery, it looks ridiculous on guys," said Cowell.
Simon Cowell says that his youth regimen consists of doing exercises at home and in his office. "I'd do 100 press-ups before I get in the bath in the morning, then at work after a meeting, I'll shut the door and do more."
It is admirable that Simon Cowell is comfortable in his skin and is looking forward to aging without any cosmetic intervention. Looking at Cowell closely, his face looks youthful, except for the crows feet from the sides of his eyes and slight under eye bags.
On the other hand, Simon has a normal aging man's belly and man boobs which he cannot get rid of with just exercise as only going under the knife and having liposuction or male breast reduction can eliminate the breasts. Simon Cowell is apparently self-conscious about his man boobs and was recently embarrassed when a young girl did an artistic portrait of Simon Cowell with a pair of boobs. Cowell said, "What are those? What are those? Are you saying I have those? Are you? I'm not very happy."
In medical circles, man boobs are a medical condition known as gynecomastia, which is the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males. This condition is generally the result of a hormonal imbalance, or the side effect of certain medications, obesity, and old age. For many men, the combination of natural weight gain and the aging process will lead them to develop gynecomastia at some point in their lives as in the case of Simon Cowell, Harrison Ford, and John Travolta. While gynecomastia is not a serious physical threat to health, it can lead to increased self consciousness for the person.

Hit TV Series - Heroes
TV Series Heroes
Heroes Seasons On Dvd At Amazon.com
Heroes The Story So Far....
Heroes are many and the villains were few in the beginning, this fact of the shows characters was blurred, the shows characters were just finding out their powers, usually starting out with a headache but the characters usually not in full control of their powers or not wanting to show them to many people.
Hiro the Japanese character sums the world of Heroes up in a fan boy sense of the superhero world that the writers of the show create, finding out that he can time travel and stop time and teleport to New York and other places at will, is like he found a new toy at first.
If you are a fan of the superhero genre and comic books then this is for you, the first series has an end of the world theme which works well and sets up most of the main characters and multiple story arcs for the conclusion at the end of the series, although the end of the first series the final episode fell slightly flat as we was all expecting some big super powered fight with all the main players, but it was a good start nonetheless and you came to like some of the characters, even though you knew that some would die and indeed they did die.
Of course the running themes of family run quite deep with heroes and you then find out that all the main players are all connected in some way, through the fact of them having powers and what the company is a part of makes for an interesting plot point.
The second series fell short due to the writers strike, but it wasn't all that bad, just a condensed series that had to scale down slightly on it's episode count, but it rather set things up for the third series really in a way, introducing to us some more potential villains with nightmare man and Adam, although we got to see Sylar powerless through the whole of the second season, but we knew he'd get his powers back in the end and he did.
The second series had an end of the world theme with a killer virus, so it felt sort of back to form for the heroes to sort it all out, but with every series that is ever created they have to evolve the characters more which they have just started to do more in the third series now and that is where we are up to with the close of volume three entitled villains we got to see heroes become villains and villains become heroes for awhile.
In this third volume of chapters we saw a few good characters get killed off, although I can't see how Arthur Petrelli could have been killed since he absorbed Adams immortal healing power when he sucked the life out of him and killed him, oh well, I liked all the powers that Arthur had stolen from others and he was an interesting villain.
The formula for creating super powered people with abilities was a neat idea but it was altogether scrapped quite soon leading into the fourth volume Fugitives and left a somewhat disjointed feel to the series as a whole, Sylar is still the same thank god, even though somewhere in volume three the writers made him temporarily a good guy for a few episodes which was interesting but I'm glad they brought him back as the central villain he started out as in the first series.
The fugitives volume becomes a bit like some x-men related hunt for the mutants which is a memorable nod to the old comics I grew up on, but there is a repetitive caught and capture feel throughout this volumes chapters, were we see some of our main characters get caught and escape a few times which gets a little tedious, I'm wondering when Hiro and Peter Petrelli will get their full powers back in stead of parts of them or in the case of Peter he has to touch someone with a power to only recieve that power which is new for peters character but quite naff for long term heores fans as he was Sylars equal.
Sylars hunt for his biological father is a good story plot development in the Sylar Saga and to see his father dying of cancer but just like Sylar himself hungry for power and others abilities was a great twist of good storytelling, and pretty much it's Sylar who steals most of the good interactions with the other cast as we are in on most of his ahead of the game antics.
I hope that the end of this Fugitives volume will prove good for future of the series as a whole as I am a fan of the show.

The Story Of Sylar: Villain Or Just A Spoilt Brat!??
Gabriel Gray was just a simple watch maker and fixer who always thought he'd be special, although he had no decent powers at first, his main power was to find the inner complexities of fixing a watch, but this would lead him to discover that this was a power that would open up the doorway to taking other peoples powers and becoming a serial killer who would kill them and take their power from their brains.
He discovered that there others like him and that a Doctor named Suresh had found the genetic markers of all the other people who had a power

One of the things that has continually amazed us during our time here in the Loire
Valley has been the stamina of our French friends and neighbours when it comes to eating, drinking and partying.We just can't hack it!!
This first became apparent when Milo, a farming friend, invited us to the catchily named, "25th Anniversary Celebrations of the Cléré sur Layon and District Agricultural Machinery Co-operative" in the village Salle de Fete. That's going to be a load of fun we thought! And you know what? It really was. It started at 10.30am on the Saturday morning and was still going strong when we finally admitted defeat and crawled off to our beds at 4.00am the following morning! I seem to remember, at that point, that everyone was seated on the floor, between each others legs, forming a long snake and singing the French equivalent of the Eton Boating Song, whilst cheerfully rowing non-existent oars. I can vaguely recall extracting Sheila from the snake just as she was rounding the Cape of Good Hope as her navigation skills were much in demand to get the car from the scene of the celebrations to Chez Nous, all of 2 kms away.
I felt rough for two days afterwards.
Milo, on the other hand, was cheerfully feeding his cows petit dejeuner as normal at 06.30am with no outward sign whatsoever that he had not slept at all. Of course, I merely relate this latter information as I was not an actual witness to it, being still in bed, desperately trying to stop my head exploding.
A few weeks ago we went to the 20th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations of our friends, Robert and Jeanette, who live just opposite. As we have, by now, come to expect, there was the compulsory mammoth period of time spent, "a la table", in this case five hours, (although even this was easily beaten a few days ago when we spent a buttock-numbing eight hours at our other friends, Jean-Pierre and Clara's, 10th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations). However, what made this one special was that when we arrived at the Salle de Fete in Le Puy Notre Dame each table had a song sheet on it so that we, literally, had to sing for our supper! Being the first time we had sung in French in front of sixty odd French people was a trifle off-putting, to put it mildly. However our table did a manful job of singing, "L'amour Est un Bouquet de Violettes" and I think we acquitted ourselves quite well. I have copied the first verse below, just in case you fancied a go.
"L'amour est un bouquet de violettes
Quand le bonheur en passant
Vous fait signe et s'arrete
Il faut lui prendre la main
Sans attendre a demain
L'amour est un bouquet de violettes
Ce soir, cueillons, cueillons, ces fleurettes
Car au fond de mon ameIl n'est qu'une femme
C'est toi, qui sera toujours mon seul amour".
and so on and so forth!
Later in the evening, much later I must admit, I offered to sing a song in English for the amusement and edification of the other guests but, unfortunately, the accordionist did not seem too familiar with Rod Stewart's "Hot Legs". So we had to pass on that one.
The myriad and assorted sons and daughters of Robert and Jeanette, (much to Sheila's frustration, I can never quite work out who is married to whom and who is a sibling of the other, a failing that could be, I suppose, quite embarrassing in other circumstances), did a sort of cabaret featuring hysterically funny, satirical sketches of Robert doing such things as:- his morning dissertation on the days weather, (this normally takes so long that one can disappear, take breakfast and walk the dog through the vineyards before he has decided which side of the village each cloud is going to pass on); his weekly speech when he comes home empty handed from La Chasse, "Il n'y'a plus, même les pigeons, il n'y'a plus", and his other eccentricities, all taken in good stead and done with real affection and humour.
Then, after the evening's gargantuan meal and accompanying wine, (the latter never being a problem in Le Puy Notre Dame as almost everyone is a winemaker, works on a wine estate or comes from a winemaking family), the dancing started, with music played by a DJ who, somewhat unusually, occasionally broke off to perform feats of magic. These primarily seemed to consist of putting his lady assistant in a series of different boxes and then trying to kill her by inserting various swords into the box or attempting to cut her in half. These attempts were normally accompanied by half the men in the audience taking imaginary pot shots at the box, presumably to show their solidarity with the attempts at ending her life. At one point a huge cheer went up when one of the swords seemed to strike something solid, (it having been noticed that the lady assistant was not, how shall we say, exactly sylph like). But, to certain, audible sighs of disappointment, she emerged OK and then proceeded to grab the microphone and sing along with the music. Not Karaoke, I stress, she just sang along with the Supremes or Abba or whoever, as if she was one of the group – normally the one out of tune! Which prompted one of my neighbours to grumble, that perhaps she was better off being left in the box!
During this period I did force myself to have a few dances but, really, there is only so much violent activity that a man can do after eating five tons of food and drinking a gallon of wine. This period should be a time of reflection and quiet contemplation not a time for whirling around like a demented Dervish. Not that it seemed to worry any one else, especially Sheila, who was enjoying being danced around by other guests intently obeying their instructions on how to do 'Le Marche', despite spraining her ankle only a few days before (though she did suffer for her frivolities the next day)!!
Just to be serious for a moment, I cannot tell you how much we really enjoy these evenings. The whole thing is done with a total lack of inhibition, an openness, sincere friendliness and a "joie de vivre", which is a delight to behold and, if only his truly formidable dancing skills are taken into account, Monsieur le Maire will have no problem whatsoever being re-elected whenever the village next goes to the polls.

What is Chia?
"Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala. The 16th-century Codex Mendoza provides evidence that it was cultivated by the Aztec in pre-Columbian times; economic historians have suggested it was as important as maize as a food crop. Ground or whole chia seeds are still used in Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala for nutritious drinks and as a food source.
Chia is grown commercially for its seed, a food that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, since the seeds yield 25–30% extractable oil, including α-linolenic acid (ALA). Of total fat, the composition of the oil can be 55% ω-3, 18% ω-6, 6% ω-9, and 10% saturated fat
Chia seeds are typically small ovals with a diameter of about 1 mm (0.039 in). They are mottle-colored with brown, gray, black and white. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked. While soaking, the seeds develop a mucilaginous gel-like coating that gives chia-based beverages a distinctive texture.
Chia seed is traditionally consumed in Mexico, and the southwestern United States, but is not widely known in Europe. Chia (or chian or chien) has mostly been identified as Salvia hispanica L. Today, chia is grown commercially in its native Mexico, and in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Australia. In 2008, Australia was the world's largest producer of chia. A similar species, Salvia columbariae or golden chia, is used in the same way but is not grown commercially for food. Salvia hispanica seed is marketed most often under its common name "chia", but also under several trademarks." This information was obtained at

- TIP TOP TAPAS: Chicken kebabs are just one of many savory treats at Capi's.
New restaurants have a tendency to be hit or miss. Fortunately, that's not the case with Capi's, the new eatery that's opened in the spot formerly occupied by Imagine A Restaurant in the Pleasant Ridge Town Center off Cantrell Road. Trio's owners Capi Peck and Brent Peterson have a good track record, so we're looking for a longer-lived restaurant in this spot.
At Capi's, our waitress on our lunch visit informed us, the idea is to tap into tapas: small dishes you can share with friends or keep for yourself.
We're the sharing type. And we're the trying-out type. Small portions call for many orders. And so:
We started lunch with the Tuna Tataki and the Cuban Picadillo. The Tataki ($9) is a work of art, a delicately balanced sculpture of fried wonton skins, fresh avocado and fresh tuna on a tahini-drizzled platter. A couple of chain restaurants in the area serve this dish hot; Capi's serves it cold, which allowed the delicate tuna flavor and texture to star rather than the soy and wasabi seasonings.
The Cuban Picadillo ($8 for a two-person serving) was a complex hot dish that complimented the Tataki. Where the Tataki was cool and refreshing, the picadillo was warm and hearty, a thick casserole of ground sirloin, peppers, onions, apples, raisins, green olives and cheese, served with warmed soft flour tortilla halves — well balanced between comfortable and exciting.
We also tried the chicken kebabs ($6), six skewered buttery-soft medallions and slices of purple onion served over a generous portion of Greek salad dotted with feta cheese, red bell peppers, green and black olives, red onion and a well-balanced vinaigrette.
We couldn't pass up dessert, especially after seeing the four selections pass repeatedly by our table. We chose a terrific raspberry cream cheese torte, a sweet-tart combo on a nutty house-made crust.
Then there are the "After Five" selections, small entree-style offerings and sides.
One of our "After Five" companions went for the Petit Beef Tenderloin Celeste ($12), a 4-ounce portion of filet with a port wine demi-glace. We're not really sure why the tenderloin was served with a knife — the rosemary-laced beef fell apart at the touch of the fork.
Our other dining companion chose the Guacamole a la Capi ($7.50 for a two-person serving) and Fried Green Tomatoes and Shrimp Remoulade ($10). The guacamole came with blue corn chips and was more avocado than anything else (we were hard-pressed to taste any citrus in it). The shrimp was perfect — not chewy, not rubbery, not underdone. The fried green tomatoes were a delight: crispy and tart and perfect with the slightly sweet remoulade.
We also shared an order of Magical Mushrooms ($5), tender strips of portabellos sauteed with sherry, garlic and asparagus that didn't bear the slime or heft of the average sauteed mushroom dish. We also shared what could be the restaurant's best value, Lorri's Favorite Mac & Cheese ($4 for a two-person order). Orrecchiete pasta tossed with sharp white cheddar and gruyere in a creamy bechamel sauce, the dish was big enough to serve as a meal.
But by far our favorite was the Truffled Vegetable Pot Pie ($10), a tasty combination of butternut squash, fennel, mushrooms, potatoes, toasted hazelnuts and white truffles under a perfect puff pastry lid. An herb bechamel sauce brought this potentially ordinary dish into the extraordinary range.
At our evening meal, we enjoyed three other dessert offerings — a Ginger Spice Cake with slivers of candied ginger throughout, a creme brulee served just lightly caramelized with a couple of shaved chocolate straws, and a pumpkin mousse of epic proportions drizzled with toffee crumbs and whipped cream.
About the service: For a brand new eatery, Capi's staff seemed to have its responsibilities down pat. You won't be disappointed.
Pleasant Ridge Town Center, 11525 Cantrell, Suite 917
Quick Bite
Desserts are $5.50 and change daily, depending on what Capi Peck's brother decides to whip up. So far, we have been pleasantly surprised by both the experimentation in the offerings and by the generous portions. Lunch selections also include a variety of designer salads and sandwiches ranging from $6 to $12.50.
11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mon. through Thu.; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fri. and Sat.

Old space probes don't necessarily die, or even fade away, when they have fulfilled their missions. Some of them show a surprising endurance that can lead to valuable new roles in space. That's why the twin probes Pioneer 10 and 11, which opened the exploration of the outer planets, continue to hold the interest of solar system scientists. The more spectacular close-ups of Jupiter and Saturn which Voyagers 1 and 2 -- the latter's stuck camera platform notwithstanding -- have given do indeed eclipse the earlier views sent by the two Pioneers. But when Pioneer 10 reached its "silver astronomical unit" mark -- 25 times farther from the sun than is Earth -- on July 26, the event symbolized the opening of a new field of exploration, not the passing of a retired spacecraft.
At a distance of 3,739,947,300 kilometers from the sun (on that date), Pioneer 10 is well into unknown space as far as direct sampling is concerned. This is the farthest a man-made object has yet gone from Earth -- especially one with which Earth-bound scientists still can communicate and from which they receive data. Pioneer 11, at 10.5 astronomical units, is the next most distant artifact, with Voyager 1 (10.2 a.u.) and Voyager 2 (9.4 a.u.) being the third and fourth.
These probes are sampling the outer parts of the sun's sphere of influence. It is a region of space still dominated by the "solar wind" of particles, laced with magnetic fields, that moves outward from the sun. Pioneer 10, especially, is showing that region to be far more complex than scientists had suspected.
Meanwhile, back at Earth, the launching a few weeks ago of a pair of Dynamics Explorer satellites to study the near-Earth environment has given a new operational role to two other craft now long past their designed lifetimes. One of these, called Helios and launched in 1974, is orbiting the sun. The other, ISEE-3 launched in 1978, is one of the International Sun-Earth Explorer satellites, whose original mission was study of the interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field.
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent up the Dynamics Explorers to learn more about the impact of the solar wind and solar radiation at the boundary between Earth's magnetic shield and interplanetary space and on the upper atmosphere. This can affect auroral displays, radio transmission, and perhaps even the weather. Helios and ISSE-3, which is 1.6 million km from Earth in the direction of the Sun, can now give scientists early warning of solar disturbances whose effects the new Dynamics Explorer satellites are to detect.
Yet another long-playing spacecraft should enable planetary scientists to make analogous studies of Venus. The Pioneer-Venus orbiter, which reached that planet in December 1978 along with four atmospheric probes, is still working well. It has surveyed the planet by radar and at ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. Now, as its orbit slowly changes, the high point above the planet will rise, allowing the spacecraft to sample the space environment at various distances near Venus and measure effects of the solar wind. The orbit will begin to decay in about three years, eventually causing the spacecraft to enter Venus's atmosphere and burn up. Meanwhile, it will return a bonus of data.
Likewise on Mars, the Viking 1 Lander is carrying on long beyond its scheduled mission. Although the Viking Orbiters that relayed Lander signals to Earth have been taken out of service, ground stations can still make contact with Lander 1. The survey craft has a search program that enables it to point its antenna at Earth until 1991. Thus, once a month or more often, NASA's more powerful deep-space tracking stations can communicate with the Lander.
Barring unexpected failures, Lander 1 can carry on like this until the end of the decade. Its nominal mission has long since been completed; but its useful life is far from over.
This kind of reliability -- which is by no means always achieved -- has also helped open up the field of ultraviolet (UV) astronomy during the past decade. UV from outer space is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere. Yet studying stars and other project projects at UV wavelengths provides fresh insights for astrophysicists. Thus in August 1972, when NASA launched a UV observing satellite called Copernicus, astronomers hailed a new era in astronomoy. But as Lyman Spitzer of Princeton University, which managed Copernicus, has said, they thought "we'd be lucky if it lasted a year," which was the designed life of the
Copernicus was the fourth in a series of orbiting astronomical observatories. It predecessors had been a mixed success. The first failed after three days. The second worked well and lasted four years. The third never even made it into orbit. As Spitzer explained: "The most difficult part of an operation like this is getting the satellite up and operating in the first place. If you can get past the first week, then chances are you're all right for a while, especially if you build a little redundancy into the instrument."
Copernicus worked well for eight years. It was still in reasonable order, although its efficiency had degraded, when NASA turned it off early last year. By then, it had provided critical information on the origin of the universe and the evolution of stars and galaxies.
It made the first accurate measurements on the amount of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) in the cosmos, a key bit of data in theories of how the universe evolves. It had studied high-speed gases shot from exploding stars -- gases whose shock effect on interstellar clouds may compress these clouds and start new star formation. And it solved an old astronomical puzzle by discovering what had been an invisible partner in a binary star system in the constellation Lyra. Astronomers had looked for that companion star for 40 years and couldn't find it. They needed UV "eyes" to see it.
Thus it was that a honey of a spacecraft with "a little redundancy" gave a new dimension to astronomy. And when copernicus was eventually retired, a newer , more powerful spacecraft -- the International Ultraviolet Explorer -- had taken over. A few months ago, this craft also exceeded its designed life. It is still going strong. Now astronomers wonder how many bonus years of data it will yield.
Space scientists are not always that fortunate. Many well-designed, carefully made spacecraft fail prematurely or lose some of their capacity early. Yet, when a spacecraft does have endurance, skillful ground control can capitalize on this to extract rich dividends of knowledge. This is why, despite tight budgets and stringent schedules for its deep-space tracking network, NASA is careful to maintain contact with Pioneer 10. When the spacecraft passes Pluto's orbit in June 1989 and moves beyond the solar system, it quite likely will give humanity its first direct report on conditions in interstelar space.

New ISTE standards aim to develop lifelong learnersPosted on 07/05/2016
When ISTE released its first student standards in 1998, digital technology in schools was mostly limited to a computer lab students visited once or twice a week. Technology use was primarily focused on productivity and, during school hours, students learned how to use a word processor or manipulate spread sheets.
With productivity as the driver, the first iteration of the ISTE Standards for Students focused on learning how to use technology. It wasn't long before it was time to revisit those inaugural standards.
When the ISTE Standards were revised in 2007, mobile carts were increasingly available to teachers in the classroom, as was access to the internet. While the focus on productivity remained, the emphasis shifted to using technology to teach critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. By now, students were using technology to work on projects with each other or even with peers in other classrooms, states or countries. This second version of the standards emphasized learning with technology.
Digital technology in education continues to evolve. In fact, the changes between 2007 and 2016 are arguably even more dramatic than those that occurred between 1998 and 2007. That's why ISTE set out once again to revise the ISTE Standards for Students.
ISTE has spent the last year engaging members and stakeholders in conversations about what should be included in the 2016 student standards. More classrooms than ever have ready access to technology, many putting devices in the hands of every student, and technology is no longer seen as optional. New designs for learning and teaching are emerging that extend beyond the classroom and support personalized learning pathways. Brain science and new technologies hold the promise for supporting enhanced human interaction and more equitable, lifelong learning opportunities across the globe.
The ISTE Standards are used throughout the world and by educators in all 50 U.S states. Additionally, at least 20 U.S. states or territories have formally adopted or adapted the ISTE Standards as part of their academic standards or curricular frameworks. The ISTE Standards are also truly global and are based on input from more than 50 countries. The standards recognize that what students need to know and do to succeed in the 21st century is increasingly more common across borders than different.
The discussion about revising the standards began last year at ISTE 2015 where attendees reviewed the 2007 standards and envisioned the future of education, work and life. ISTE also brought together a group of education influencers at the conference. Dubbed the Stakeholder Advisory Council, they provided initial, strategic insight into the refresh process.
A Technical Working Group of education professionals, including teachers, technology coordinators, library media specialists, consultants and administrators, provided expert insight and wordsmithing. They helped pull together the feedback data into what became preliminary versions of the first and second drafts. All told, 2,714 people from 52 countries participated in the effort, including 295 students.
ISTE blog post describes in more detail how the new 2016 standards aim to lead the next transformation of learning and teaching.

Software and services hub company, Sirius Corporation (ASX:SIU), swung to a $970,500 loss in 1H11, in a result attributed to a slow-down in government spending.
But in its interim report the company, which reported a $342,500 profit in 1H10, said it was confident that most of the shortfall can be recovered in the second half.
Revenue declined to $2.1 million, from $2.8 million a year earlier, and the cost of goods sold and employment-related expenses also increased significantly.
Directors blamed the slumping revenue on government departments holding off on key decisions over enterprise spending.
But Sirius said its largest subsidiary, InfoMaster, is currently active in over 18 tenders, and has been shortlisted in nine which together are worth $5.7 million.
InfoMaster also attained certified Microsoft Gold Partner status during the half-year, and became the first Australian software vendor to attain Electronic Development Assessment Interoperability Specification (EDAIS) for its MasterView and MasterPlan products, Sirius added.
EDAIS is a standard for the exchange of information between electronic development assessment systems.
Sirius said it felt its SMS division would soon grind to a halt in terms of profitability. The parent will support the unit as long as it continues to turn a profit but has decided not to invest in growing it, the report states.
The company added that it continues to look at M&A opportunities, but acknowledged that shareholders may think "this is an ageing mantra" because it had been saying so for some time.
Although M&A activity has stalled in the past 18 months, the company said, it had conducted many reviews of potential targets over this time.
Sirius added that its economic outlook going forward was "optimistic," but did not provide further details.
SIU shares stayed flat on Thursday at $0.020.

Will you join with church leaders from across the UK to help find a home for every child who needs one?
Local Authorities are increasingly recognising the potential of churches – both as a place to find potential foster carers and adoptive parents, but also as a community to support families that foster and adopt. Home for Good would love to inspire and equip your church to get involved.
Join with us in this fantastic opportunity for the Church to be good news in society, change our communities and transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable children.

Fencon 2010
Rhonda Eudaly – First-class. She conducted guest relations as well as any con can, anywhere. She made every guest feel like family. She stopped at nothing to ensure every guest received A-list treatment. How can anyone not be happy when their complimentary goodie bag contains beer and rock-em, sock-em robot rings?
Jimmy Simpson – Rock-solid. This man knows his art and knows how to run a quality art show. When you're an artist deciding whether or not to invest time and labor in an art show, the show director is often the difference-maker. Jimmy's one of the best in the business, and I already look forward to when I can again participate in a Jimmy Simpson show.
Andy Trembley & Kevin Roche – Fan GoHs, and extremely cool guys. These guys know costuming like nobody's business, and they know their premium alcohols. Had a terrific time with them and look forward to any con where they're around.
Opening Ceremonies – Spider Robinson GoHed via Skype. He didn't physically attend the con as Author GoH, but was very much a virtual presence throughout.
Vincent Villafranca – As always, more phenomenal work from one of the best sculptors in the field. He unveiled a work-in-progress called 'The Dogs of War' that blew me away.
Jessica Wade -- Ace/Roc editor extraordinaire. How cool is she? She's so cool that a mere autographed headshot of her brought money in an auction. She's so cool that she can make the phrase "for reals" ring in my head for days and I'm amused. For reals. :)
The Lansdales -- Joe, Kasey, and Karen. Always a pleasure with them. Saturday night, we dined at the Clay Pit along with Jessica and my pal Sanford Allen. It was one of my favorite meals in a while. Best company, conversations, and great Indian food all in one. On Sunday, Kasey belted out a one-hour singing performance at FenCon and if I didn't have a simultaneous panel commitment, I would've seen more. Fortunately, I was able to catch a few minutes at the end and she was awesome.

Enjoyed seeing the great Robert J. Sawyer, P.N. Elrod, Chris Merle, Mel Tatum, Caroline Spector, Cat Conrad, Rachel Caine, Shanna Swendson, Karen Meschke, Brad Foster, David Lee Anderson, Rocky Kelley, Stina Leicht, Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff, John Randall, and many, many more whom I wish I could remember in my current deadline-frenzied state.
Special shoutout to Jay – he's been an Elric fan for over 30 years and gave one of the best compliments ever. Said he walked in the Art Show, saw my 5-foot tall vinyl print of ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS and felt that the image embodied the Elric he'd always seen in his head but never seen until then. Really made me feel good to hear that.
If you're a pro or fan and you've never experienced FenCon, these folks know what they're doing and their attendees know how to have a great time. It's a very fun show and this won't be my last. I was honored to be there. Huge thanks to the whole con staff including the aforementioned Rhonda and Jimmy, Tim Miller, Tim Morgan, Julie Barrett, Bobb Waller, Ed Dravecky, Becky Demonja and everyone who made the show great.
