Texas House Speaker Joe Straus made a rare appeal from the rostrum this afternoon as lawmakers head into the final two weeks and big issues still unresolved including the only measure they must approve: the budget.
"As the session winds down and we face more deadlines under our rules, every day of the legislative calendar is precious," Straus, R-San Antonio, told his colleagues. "I hope each of you will take the opportunity over the next two weeks to collaborate whenever possible, and when it is not possible to communicate openly and civilly when you disagree.
"In the limited days remaining, I encourage you to bring your amendments, points of order, or questions forward early, and to be respectful of each other, of our parliamentarian, and of the rules of decorum and civility embodied in our House rules."
The past 10 days have produced passionate and vigorous debate, with tired lawmakers taking advantage of rules to frustrate and anger the other side. It came to a boiling point during debate over immigration.
"No matter how difficult the issue, or how passionate the views, I want us to continue to find ways to work together – as we have done in meetings." Straus said. "As we move to the end of the session, remember that my door is open to each of you to help resolve issues and get our work done for the people of Texas."
Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, said Straus' appeal was the first he's seen from a speaker calling for civility.
"It is good that we take a step back and try to be respectful of each other," Castro said. "Unfortunately, I don't think it will stop a lot of bad public policy that's coming through here.
"Maybe the best way to come together is to cut out some of the bad public policy," he said.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Human remains found this week in the Southern California desert are believed to be a San Diego-area family of four who disappeared more than three years ago, and their deaths appear to be homicides, authorities said Friday.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon confirmed that 40-year-old Joseph McStay and his 43-year-old wife, Summer, were found in shallow graves near Victorville, about 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The couple and their two sons — ages 3 and 4 — disappeared in February 2010.
Authorities believe the other remains belong to the two boys, but they have more work to do to confirm it, McMahon said at a news conference.
"Their DNA evidence is on file with the DOJ (Department of Justice), and we will be sending that information to the DOJ for positive identification," he said.
McMahon added the manner of death appears to be homicide, and it doesn't appear the family ever went to Mexico after they disappeared. Investigators earlier said they thought they spotted the McStays crossing the border on grainy surveillance video.
Investigators wrapped up a three-day excavation in barren scrubland near heavily traveled Interstate 15 on Wednesday after an off-road motorcyclist reported finding bones there.
Additional skeletal remains were found near the graves, and the coroner's investigators later confirmed they were human. Authorities said the remains had been in the desert for an extended period.
Autopsies were still being completed, and the cause of death has not been released.
The McStays' disappearance launched what San Diego County sheriff's investigators called their most extensive missing-persons search ever.
Joseph McStay's brother, Michael McStay, said it's been a "hard road" for the family not knowing where the couple and their sons were.
"It's not really the outcome we were looking for, but it gives us courage to know that they're together and they're in a better place," said a tearful Michael McStay.
There were no signs of forced entry at the family's home in Fallbrook, about 55 miles north of San Diego, or in their SUV parked near the border. Authorities found rotten eggs on the kitchen counter of the home and two dogs in the backyard.
Neither Joseph nor Summer had told family or friends they were leaving, and tens of thousands of dollars left in business bank accounts were never claimed.
Investigators pursued hundreds of tips and eventually came to believe the family left voluntarily for Mexico. Investigators were convinced that four people seen on a dimly lit surveillance video walking into Tijuana, Mexico, were the McStays.
But McMahon said there's no indication — at this point — the family ever went to Mexico.
Some family members doubted the video showed the couple and their children. The case was later turned over to the FBI.

"This website kicks a TON of ass! It's very well organized and so easy to understand."
- RN, Minnesota
TomatoBubble Response: "Thanks.
It was designed with simplicity / "user friendliness" in mind. Anyone can understand it, but sadly, many will
refuse to accept it.
mind bending. I was literally seething with rage as I read it. I always knew I was being fed a bunch of lies. Now I have
the ammunition I need to prove it." - GF, Florida
Response: Don't allow the anger to eat you up inside. I've been there. Just take steps to prepare yourself
for when the shit hits the fan. Really not much we can do to stop these psychopaths. Just live your life as best you can,
and learn to accept that which we cannot change.
"Thanks for putting this together." HJ, California
Response: You are most welcome. You are indeed lucky. We had to dedicate
years of study to draw out the simple truths that readers can now digest in just a few hours.
"Very interesting fiction, but fiction nonetheless. Nothing else.
People who fall for this nonsense probably believe that Elvis is still alive. Our politicians may not be perfect, but to suggest
that so many of our great statesmen were evil is itself, evil." LK, Georgia
TomatoBubble Response: "Great Statesmen" ??? If they were
all so great, then why are we in this sad situation? You worship authority too much my friend...."Great Statesmen"
don't burn & crush millions of innocent women and children to death!
So, the great men of the past 100 or so years were all scumbags? ...It doesn't surprise me. This
is a real masterpiece.
TomatoBubble Response:
Thanks. In a world gone mad....scumbags rule!
I have awoken to a world reality that is quite frightening; that instead of Adolf Hitler being the enemy, it turns
out he was our friend. What a loss for all of us! My son now calls me neo-Nazi, LOL. Knowing that some caring people are
behind this website has brought me comfort during much grief of what has transpired in the last 100 years. The funny parts
helped me laugh for a change. The liberation of Danzig video is a delight and makes me cry every time! - TW, SF Bay Area
TomatoBubble Response:
The "bad guys" are really the good guys and vice versa. That's the key to deciphering history and
current events.
"History is indeed little more than the
register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind."

Progressive Martial Arts offers classes for youth - ages 3 and up - in age specific programs appropriate for kids' developmental and emotional stages. While we teach important self defense and martial arts skills, fitness and health are key components to our curriculum. Youth enjoy fitness drills, obstacle courses, circuit training as well as running in our fun, but disciplined classes. Our youth program is like none other, offering character development, discipline, and self defense techniques that give each child a strong start in life!
Little Dragons (3-6 Years)
Give your Child a strong start on Life!
Our Little Dragons Classes are fast-paced, fun filled, educational and motivational. Kids love Karate and parents love watching their kids learn and grow in a positive, well disciplined and encouraging atmosphere. Each class is filled with exciting, hi-energy drills that are carefully designed to develop important life skills. Classes start simple and gradually become more challenging based on each child's individual pace and readiness for new material. All lessons are based on positive recognition, reward and reinforcement for effort, skill, manners, sportsmanship and respectful treatment of others. Self-confidence and Self Esteem are built in a gradual step-by-step fashion. Martial Arts training builds a strong foundation that can easily be applied in academics, sports, arts and social settings outside the dojo.
Little Dragons Success Formula
Our Little Dragons program is an excellent choice for giving your child a strong start in life. These early years are so vital in developing the habits that lead to a healthier, happier and more confident child.
We teach and instill basic developmental skills that will show up in many aspects of life such as: showing proper manners, how to look someone in the eyes, shake their hand andgive a polite greeting, improved listening skills, longer periods of focus and attention span, self control of one's actions and attitudes, learning to participate in group activities and getting along well with others. It's no magic pill and it doesn't happen in one class. However, for many parents, our program is the perfect alliance and is one of the most valued investments for their child. For over 10 years, we've had outstanding success teaching kids how to become goal-oriented, athletic and academic achievers. We believe that every child has the potential to become an achiever and a success in life!
Benefits of Our Program
- Increased Attention Span
- Improved Hand-Eye Coordination and Motor Skills
- Improved Listening and Concentration Skills
- Higher levels of Respect and Obedient Behavior
- Decrease in Parent Separation Anxiety
- Improved Self-Confidence & Self Esteem
- Greater overall Health & Fitness
- Better direction and use of their energy
- Development of a Non-Quitting Spirit
- "Yes I Can" Attitude
- Highly Trained Nationally Certified Instructors
Juniors (7-14 years)
Martial Arts Begins and Ends With Respect
Our Juniors Program is based on the core values of Martial Arts training. "Martial Arts Begins and Ends With Respect." From this basic premise, we develop your child's awareness and skills in three primary areas - Respect, Discipline and Self Control. Our core curriculum includes high-energy drills and skills designed to build and condition each child's attitude, behavior and overall character development. Our training helps children develop greater self-control and self-discipline in everything they do. It also instills confidence through positive coaching, lots of encouragement and a powerful mentoring relationship with role model leaders. We also teach valuable life skills that focus on Goal-Setting, positive attitude, relationship building, communication skills and leadership.
Practical Self-Defense & Safety Awareness
Safe kids make for happy parents. Kids tend to listen to people they like, trust and respect. Our highly trained teaching staff will share vital safety tips and teach your child practical self-defense. Most important is that your child understands some simple rules of safety. They will learn tips such as safety in numbers and learning to practice safe habits in their daily routine. Knowledge is power; we provide an explanation of common abduction lures and teach kids to be cautiously aware of their surroundings. No parent wants their child to live in fear, yet they want to know that their child is safe. We believe strongly in helping your child become confident and capable young adults who understand right from wrong and will know when to stand their ground and when to run-yell-tell. We also stress non-violent conflict resolution, how to avoid dangerous situations and practical techniques for getting away from a range of situations - being cornered, being grabbed and being tackled to the ground. Our practical self-defense skills include kickboxing and on the ground grappling defense. Your child will be trained when and when not to use their self defense skills, and our students have a clear understanding of being responsible for their actions and attitudes.
Champions are always Victors and never Victims...
Kids who learn to defend themselves usually will never have to. They have learned to walk with confidence and they are less apt to be a prime target for bullies and/or abductors. Studies prove that anyone who wants to harm a child or has ill intent is more likely to go for the weakest looking kid they can find. Kids that are aware and act in a more confident manner are the greatest deterrent to bullies and dangerous adults. Kids who train in the Martial Arts become more assertive and less aggressive. Just like Adults, if they have a healthy outlet for their energy, they will let go of stress and frustrations. Watch the level of energy our kids exert in a class and you'll understand why they sleep well at night. Kids with a high level of self-confidence are also better able to deal with negative peer pressure and "Say No" to dangerous situations and threatening adults.
Healthy, Wealthy, Happy & Fit...with a Fighting Spirit that will Never Quit!
Television, video games and fast foods present significant temptations and challenges to our young people today. We strive every day to deliver a program that builds a sense of balance for your child. Our Juniors Program inspires kids with specific instruction on how to live healthier, how to exercise and how to build energy and a dynamic spirit. We want your child to be better prepared to face life's challenges and be successful in everything they do. Statistics tell us that 1/3 of all kids are obese and that fully 2/3 are overweight and at risk of preventable health challenges that could lead to early death. Most kids are less active than previous generations and spend too much time on the computer or playing video games. They barely even have a structured gym class in school. Combine the lack of activity with the ease of fast foods and the junk that kids can easily become addicted to, and it's easy to see why our nation is creating kids at risk. Our program will get your child in the best shape of their young lives. We'll increase their flexibility, strengthen and tone their muscles and give them greater endurance. All while they are having fun and learning valuable life skills that will carry over to becoming successful adults. Our instructors are experts at motivating kids and bringing out the best in them. We love to team up with families to instill a non-quitting spirit in kids and help them become Black Belt Champions in life.
Habits we Train...are Habits we Gain!
We take our job as Instructors and success coaches very seriously. We know that we can make a difference and we have been developing innovative and successful systems for over 10 years. All of our classes are taught in a safe, fun, upbeat and energizing environment. Your child is developing habits everyday; anything they do over and over again is becoming habit. Good habits are easy to live with, however, they can be tough to develop on your own. Most people need a coach and that's where we come in. Unfortunately, bad habits are easy to develop and are very tough to live with. Our teaching style is based on positive coaching, goal setting and lot's of encouragement. We never give up on kids; we always team up and we have plenty of success stories to keep us committed to instilling habits of excellence in the lives of children. The vast majority of our Junior Black Belt Leaders are high-academic achievers, great kids and highly athletic. The majority don't start that way, with time, training and teamwork, we have seen thousands of kids become highly successful in every aspect of their life.
- Respect for self and others
- Academic Achievement
- Goal Oriented
- Healthy/Happy/Fit
- Increased Self Confidence & Self Esteem
- Leadership Skills
How do you get your child started?
It's easy to start. We start by scheduling a FREE PRIVATE LESSON for your child with one of our highly trained and Nationally Certified Instructors. We require a parent or legal guardian to be present so that we can get to know you and your child better. At the same time, we will give you a tour of our training facility; educate you about our school, our staff and the programs we offer. You will have the chance to see if our program is right for you and your family. There is no cost or obligation for the evaluation. Our tuition rates are reasonable, competitive and affordable.
Progressive Martial Arts offers classes every day of the week for kids ages 3 and older, in age-specific programs appropriate for kids' developmental and emotional stages. We teach important self-defense and martial arts skills, and fitness and health are key components to our curriculum.

14 Oct 2010
(Hong Kong) Dragonair received its latest honour yesterday when it was named a "2010 Asian Excellence Brand" by popular news and current affairs magazine Yazhou Zhoukan.
The honour was bestowed on the 13 most influential brands from five countries and territories in Asia: Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Nominees from a range of consumer and business enterprises were selected by Yazhou Zhoukan readers and members of the business elite earlier this year, with 100 influential brands shortlisted. The final 13 most outstanding brands across all five regions were named as Asian Excellence Brands by the magazine.
"We are excited to receive yet another honour after being named 'Best Regional Airline' by TTG Asia last week and receiving the 'World's Best Regional Airline' award from Skytrax in May this year," said Dragonair Chief Executive Officer James Tong.
"Dragonair has developed to become one of the most recognised brands in Hong Kong and the region over the last 25 years, and we are delighted that the readers of Yazhou Zhoukan recognise our commitment to always putting customers first and providing a consistently enjoyable travel experience," he added.
Mr Tong also paid tribute to the Dragonair team. "Needless to say, the contribution of each and every staff member has helped us in our ongoing commitment to the pursuit of service excellence," he said.

"The Heat," starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, is the latest entry in a long-running and much-loved movie joke: the buddy-cop comedy. In this case, a bosom-buddy cop comedy.
The movie follows a well-beaten path. They're cops, they're enemies, they're friends, they're opposites. It's funny.
The legacy is a long one: "Beverly Hills Cop," "Tango & Cash," "Starsky & Hutch," "48 Hrs.," "Men in Black," "Turner & Hooch," "Miami Vice." Basically it's a man's world.
But as director Paul Feig, screenwriter Katie Dippold and the caustic, crackling chemistry of its stars prove, "The Heat" would be nothing, nothing without a woman.
Really one cannot over-emphasize the role that bosoms play, literally and metaphorically. They are talked about, pushed around, prodded, insulted, dressed up, dressed down. They're like another character. Occasionally, they come in handy. And they remind us "The Heat" is not buddy-cop business as usual.
Bullock and McCarthy, as Ashburn and Mullins, are from different agencies — Ashburn's New York City-based FBI, Mullins' Boston PD. One's a Yale grad, the other street-smart. They have different investigation techniques and different interrogation styles. Guess which one plays bad cop?
A string of dicey unsolved Boston murders has thrown them unhappily together. As Mullins says during their first face to face, "I've just spent the last 30 minutes thinking of ways to kill you."
Bickering, bonding, bad guys and a lot of very bad language, mostly from McCarthy's Mullins, will ensue.
That the movie manages to be funny without feeling misogynistic is in part because of Dippold wielding the pen. And not because she's a she. Dippold has been writing comedy for a while now, starting in 2006 on Fox's underrated "MADtv" and moving over to handle punch lines for Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones and others on the NBC show "Parks and Recreation."
Meanwhile, Feig, with the mega-hit "Bridesmaids" to his credit, has found a healthy balance between the raunchy and the real. The groundbreaking hard-R comedy in 2011 proved women could talk as dirty as guys but, more important, be as funny. It also established "Saturday Night Live" standout Kristen Wiig as a movie star and McCarthy as a comic force. Rex Reed insults and extra pounds be damned, the actress is even better in "The Heat."
McCarthy and Bullock are an odd and oddly likable team. Both actresses are fearless with physical comedy. Bullock specializes in awkward and uptight, McCarthy in aggressive and unfiltered. "The Heat" makes the most of those differences.
A particularly tight doorway pits them against each other, but more often there is a guy about to find out that big — as in big gun or big muscles or big wad of cash — does not guarantee much of anything.
For those worried that the essential action of the genre may have softened with chicks in the pic, know that "The Heat" is down-and-dirty tough with all the gun brandishing, foot races, car chases and bruising confrontations with the criminal element an action fan could want.
The rough sits surprisingly well with the more sentimental emotional arc Ashburn and Mullins are given. McCarthy's character in particular is allowed nuance, and that is a nice thing.
Nice, however, is not where you go first.
Our introduction to FBI agent Ashburn is a smug smile while brown-nosing the boss (Demian Bichir). Soon she's solving a case and taking great satisfaction in humiliating the rest of the FBI team. She's got a closet full of monochrome suits that complement her monotone life. Her pajamas are pressed, the cat she pets belongs to a neighbor, and there is no family to speak of.
Mullins is a foul-mouthed detective good at catching bad guys but not much else. Her captain fears her, and not long into "The Heat" you understand why. Her family hasn't forgiven her for throwing brother Jason (Michael Rapaport) in jail — that's the relationship to watch. Her fashion sensibility leans toward thrift store, not chic, more like dollar bin. When we meet her, Mullins has spotted a john amid a proposition. Suffice it to say she is armed and dangerous with or without a gun.
The villain is an elusive drug lord named Larkin. His brutality is legendary, his face a mystery. It's a good twist but means the filmmakers have to throw in some other faces for us to hate in the meantime.
There is DEA agent Craig (Dan Bakkedahl), a crude albino-chauvinist, and his sycophant sidekick (Taran Killam). The DEA investigation is at odds with theirs, and agent Craig is out to shut them down. Mullins' favorite perp is a possible Larkin street dealer named Rojas (a funny Spoken Reasons). Also in Larkin's circle is the very scary, very good with knives Julian (Michael McDonald).
But mostly this is Mullins and Ashburn's run-and-gun show. At times "The Heat" gets messy, and the comedy is not always pitch perfect. But they're cops. They're enemies. They're friends. They're opposites. It's funny.
'The Heat'

Dear Jilted Amazon Affiliates Everywhere,
There you are, doing a great job of recommending awesome books, handing Amazon the sales, and they just up and leave the party.
To add injury to insult, I'm sure it didn't feel good to hear from the Wall Street Journal that collective sales from your sites only *account for a relatively small slice of Amazon's traffic, so the move isn't likely to cause major damage to the company's business.*
It's like the morning after the prom, when in wrinkled dress and wilting corsage you realize they're just not that into you. At least, not when they may have to collect millions in state sales tax that could help fix bridges, keep schools open and fund libraries at a time when your states are truly suffering.
And they seemed so nice.
Well, I want to invite you to the indie party. While the flashy prom has been happening at the country club, we've been holding our own get-together in the gym. What we lack in glamour, we make up for in charm. Like you, we love to recommend books. We think it's cool that you're recommending books, and with us there's no such thing as too small. We won't marginalize you. And we all pay our local taxes.
Best of all we have an affiliate program too! It's called IndieBound, and we'd love to have you be a part of it. You'll get a reward for using it, your readers can keep getting their books off your site, and your state will benefit in the end. Everyone wins.
Again, we're sorry that you lost your date. (We never really liked them anyway.) We promise we won't leave you hanging.
Indie Booksellers Everywhere
From Kristen:
Since I wrote this, there's been a pretty big kerfuffle. Amazon has notified affiliates in Hawaii, North Carolina, and Rhode Island that they are terminating their agreements. It's all over Twitter, and quickly spinning out of control.
I have to believe that in their hubris, Amazon really believes that the bad PR this will generate on the part of the thousands of mom and pop affiliates out there is outweighed by their not having to collect those taxes and yield the competitive advantage they have built their model on.
I don't believe that the aggregate sales from the hundreds of thousands of affiliate partners that may be affected represents an insignificant number regardless of what they say. Especially when you consider the marketing value of those millions of little Amazon links on websites everywhere. I think they are throwing their weight around to get their way but they better be careful.
Hell knows no wrath like a knitter scorned.
Andy Ross, former owner of the wonderful bookstore Cody's in Berkeley, CA and now the principal of The Andy Ross Agency has been following the issue in relation to a similar initiative in his state. He has long been fighting for e-fairness.
He had this to say via an e-mail response earlier today:
When I was a bookseller out here, I worked for about 10 years with Hut Landon and Bill Petrocelli to get a law passed like the NY law. It got thwarted by the Tech industry.
So Hawaii has a similar bill. And Amazon threatened the same thing (as they have done in North Carolina). I just heard that the Gov of Hawaii vetoed the Amazon bill. So they are having an impact.
The affiliate program with Amazon is huge (I think) not just because it is driving sales to Amazon, but because of the huge promotional factor that this creates.
But I suppose that Amazon's ability to evade sales tax gives them such a competitive advantage over local businesses that it trumps the affiliate programs. Really, it is like the state of California (and most other states), giving a tax break so that an out of state company can get a competitive advantage over a local company. This is like jumping down the rabbit hole.
I've been following this story closely for about 10 years. Amazon has, protean-like, changed their excuse why they should be excused from collecting these taxes.
First they said that they shouldn't have to collect sales tax because the Internet was a frail and delicate bird and should be given a break to build this new economic engine. At the same time they said that the Internet was the economic juggernaut that was driving the new economy. (How Internet commerce could be both a frail bird and an economic juggernaut has always been puzzling to me.)
Then they said that they were totally flummoxed by the complexity of having to collect so many different amounts of sales tax from the 5000 discrete tax districts in America. This from the company who had no problem keeping track of the reading habits of 20,000,000 consumers.
Then they said that the laws were unconstitutional. Hmm. I always thought that it was the Supreme Court who made that determination.
As Tennessee Williams famously said: "I smell the smell of mendacity in this room".
Amen, brother.

Gluten Free Bakery in Seattle: Haley's Corner Review

When we flew into Sea-Tac airport the other week on a trip to visit my grandparents, one of the first things I did was pull out the DH's IPhone and look for a gluten-free bakery near the airport. I was hungry and remembered an earlier visit to a gluten-free bakery located near the airport. That bakery was no longer open to the public, unfortunately, but I found another promising candidate in Kent about 20 minutes away from the Seattle airport. It was in the opposite direction from our ultimate destination, Anacortes, but a good gluten-free breakfast can be hard to find. After a few token grumbles, the DH agreed.
The bakery was in a pleasant strip mall with a Starbucks. This latter fact turned out to be important because we were dying for some morning espresso. When I walked in the doors, I was so impressed that I momentarily forgot about my pressing need for coffee. This bright and airy space was cheery, and small tables arranged against the windows were welcoming. Most welcoming of all was the bountiful offerings in the bakery cases and against the wall behind the counter.
The first order of the day was breakfast. I can rarely find gluten-free quiche, so when I saw that they had one, I had to order it. The DH was intrigued by their larger-than-life breakfast muffins that emulated omelets, and he bought the Denver muffin with onion, peppers and ham. I couldn't believe the fluffy texture when I saw him rip off a piece for Kira. I had to get a meatless one for later that had been basted in pizza sauce.
After we ate, it was time to get some baked goods for the rest of the week in Seattle. I got some of their sandwich bread as as staple food, and I was so intrigued by their sourdough loaf that I had to get some. Living in San Francisco I'm always jealous of the sourdough bread bowls filled with chowder. It was interesting though- when I brought it to my grandparents' house and my grandpa saw it, I learned that when he was a kid, only poor families ate the stuff. He ate it and hated it- so now he won't touch it. Actually- although I've made gluten-free sourdough at home a la Bette Hagman and enjoyed it, this loaf turned out to be my least favorite of the things I bought at Haley's. It was just a bit on the heavy side for my taste, and maybe my Grandpa's story about the hardships of sourdough as a kid made the flavor a bit sour for me.
But let me tell you about my favorite things at the bakery. There were a lot of them. The DH gave an unequivocal thumbs up for Haley's Corner, and said "the selection is just what you would get at a regular bakery." In many cases, he said he wouldn't have known it was gluten-free unless he was told that it was. And amazingly, they don't even use unusual flours- rice and tapioca seemed to be the norm.* You could buy prepared pizza slices in the refrigerator case- but they all seemed to have meat (especially chicken) so I didn't buy any of those. I was so impressed by the sweets that I went a little crazy buying one of everything, or so it seemed.
I got pie- and who could choose between gluten-free apple pie, caramel apple pie, or key lime pie? Not me, apparently. I liked them all, but the key lime pie was my favorite. It was sweet without being cloying, with just the right tart note to make things interesting. I love cookies, so on the clerk's recommendation I got the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie and a snickerdoodle. The former came in handy for a reunion with my cousins when they had a box of those foofie cupcakes of beauty that everyone, including toddler yum, got to enjoy. I ran and got my cookie and savored every sweet crumb. There was a slice of sweet cake for sale as a day-old goodie that also went into the rental car with us… and last but not least, tiramisu AND one lovely chocolate eclair.
I know, I really went crazy with the sweets- but this place had such lovely sweets, and would you believe for everything I bought, there was at least 3 more things that I could have tried? The selection was amazing. I enjoyed watching my sometimes critical DH dig in and enjoy this bakery, and it was fun to see Toddler Yum dart around the store, occasionally pausing to gaze in rapture at the counter, saying in her breathless, high pitched toddler voice "oh my!" She was also a fan of the cookie samples, although we stopped after two pieces because I try to limit her sugar.
I am so pleased to see another bustling gluten-free bakery in the Northwest, and I hope they are around for many years to come so that stopping in for breakfast with the DH and Kid Yum can become a tradition. I had more sweets and baked goods in the week after my visit than I usually have over a period of a few months- probably next time I wouldn't go QUITE so crazy. After all, my grandparents did feed me, and it wasn't necessary to stock up quite so heavily on the sweets. But… it was fun, and now I know what my favorites are for next time. I'd buy the tiramisu again… and the key lime pie… and the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. And then I'll sign up for gym membership. Pangs over dieting aside, this bakery is one more reason to love the Northwest. I hope you get a chance to visit and love it as much as we did.
*By the way, for those allergic to rice, in researching Seattle bakeries I found out that Da Vinci bakery is not only still running but is also transitioning to be rice free.
*PS This was written while on the road in Tel Aviv, Israel, and is the first of many Gluten-free bakery and restaurant posts I've got lined up. We've been in Seattle, Manhattan, and now are in Israel. Can't wait to share our latest gluten-free experiences with you! Adopt a Blogger adoption sign-up post should be up or linked around the 15th of this month.

Journalism, General Journalism Projects in Romania by Amelie Schlingmann
Amelie is from Germany and spent six months in Romania dividing her time between a Care & Community and a Journalism placement. Her article below about her first impressions of Romania was published in the Brasov Visitor, the magazine set up by Projects Abroad in Romania.
It is Wednesday the 5th October when my plane lands at the airport in Bucharest. The first thing I get to see of Romania is a flat landscape overgrown with grass next to the run way. It's quite warm in Bucharest, nearly 25 degrees and I, dressed for winter get the feeling I don't fit in! After an endless passport control I finally start the car trip to Brasov.
Sitting in an old Romanian car and looking out the window I can follow the development of the landscape. It becomes slowly hilly and wooded and finally it turns into the Carpathian Mountains. Along the road are a lot of traditional little houses mixed up with the large buildings of western companies. There is an enormous contrast between the old traditional Romania and the modern one, which is going to be part of the European Union in 2007. The horse wagons, which appear around every corner and on the main roads are part of the old Romania and watching them, I feel like I'm moving back into a former century.
After three hours on the road, we reach Brasov. What is my first impression? Very ugly! Everywhere are gigantic blocks of flats. There is no colour and the dark communist past can be seen clearly. In comparison to this, the old part of Brasov presents a big contrast. There are pubs, cafes and restaurants everywhere. It is clean and nice and the touristy atmosphere could make me believe I'm in a big European metropolis. But when I look closer, it is obvious that there isn't as much money as in Western Europe. Although the houses are really beautiful, they could do with some restoration, but perhaps they would lose their uniqueness if someone tried to do so.
When I arrive at my host's house it is 6pm and I'm very tired. So I'm grateful for the hospitality. The following day I notice that everywhere I go people trouble themselves to make me feel good. Nevertheless there is a large difference between Germany and Romania, as far as the mentality of the people is concerned. Until now I always thought that the cliché of the clean, correct and bureaucratic Germany was made up and that other countries in Europe were the similar. But now I come to this country and get to know a completely new attitude to life.
Romanian people seem to have a lot of time and they don't claim that everything works perfectly. I don't hear one word of complaint when I queue up for half an hour in front of the post office. The observer gets the impression that Romania is a country which wants to rise in international importance, but always with a smile, even if there a lot of set-backs. Maybe history has taught Romania to be patient and never to lose their good mood.
I am very fascinated by the history of Romania, although I don't know much about it. Brasov is a very good example of the numerous signs history has left in Romania; the impressive black church from the 14th century with the old carpets from the orient, the white and black tower and the pieces of the old city wall. They are so beautiful they help to prevent me feeling homesick. When the second time since I arrived the sun goes down behind the 'Tampa' with its Brasov sign which reminds everyone of Hollywood, I get the impression that I will have a nice time in Brasov.

Just wanting to see if anyone is interested in doing a Spring themed Bento?
This forum looked a little dusty so I thought I would ask.
How would the challenge work?
Use local spring produce available in your area. Explore your local markets, farms, and stores and see what they have in season. Experiemnt. Try a fruit or veggie you've never seen before.
How long do you have?
Until the End of April, Beginning of May
What about posting a picture of my Bento?
Please Do! It's not required (though a recipe including the new fruit or veggie you found would be nice)
Have fun and lets see what wonderful ideas and produce we find!
Have a wonderful Spring!
I like the idea of this :-)
I'm not short, I'm fun sized ^_^
It is a good idea, although for me it would have to be an Autumn bento! It is not Spring everywhere in the world.
My blog is Food and Shoes
lol. I understand. The point is still the same. Explore your local markets, farms etc. Doesn't matter the season. Just find something new and interesting and experiment.
I live in Maryland, USA- our farmer's markets just opened about a week ago. I just went this weekend- asparagus and arugula are a spring crop (so I picked up a couple bundles of those) and also some cucumbers. I plan on making the bento filler Cucumber and Nashi marinated salad (without the pear). Unfortunately at this point (in my area at least) most veggies at markets are green house grown, so they don't have that summer fresh taste yet. Doesn't mean I'll stay away from the markets though! They're my favorite part of the warm seasons.

Playing by Different Rules? Property Rights in Land and Water
EVOLUTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS RELATED TO LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, Lincoln Institute, 2010
61 Pages Posted: 5 Dec 2010
There are 2 versions of this paper
Playing by Different Rules? Property Rights in Land and Water
Playing by Different Rules? Property Rights in Land and Water
Date Written: December 3, 2010
This article examines both the similarities and differences between the law of land and water in both a private law and constitutional law setting. The first critical difference is that the nature of the two resources differs enough such that exclusive rights for occupation usually sets the right framework for analyzing land use disputes, while a system of shared, correlative duties work best for water. Once these baselines are established, it follows that an accurate rendition of the constitutional law issues necessarily rests on the proper articulation of private law rules of adjudication. Unless those efficient private rules are used as a baseline for constitutional adjudication, it becomes impossible to explain which government actions result simply in a "mere" loss of economic value and which government actions generate losses that require compensation. Parties can engage in wasteful political arbitrage without limitation.
In dealing with the private law issues, the first step is to develop principles of parity between private claimants, to the extent that this approach is physically possible. The second step then picks the set of rules that maximizes the overall utility of all parties concerned, subject to the parity constraint. This system must yield to reasonableness considerations when the conditions of physical parity cannot be satisfied, which covers all cases of dispute between upper and lower owners of land, as well as upstream and downstream riparians. In both these settings, the objective is to create, whenever possible, rules that treat the last element of loss to one party equal to the last element of gain of the next.
Using these natural law baselines produces by and large efficient results in private disputes. The rejection of these rules in the takings context in both land and water cases yields the opposite result, by conceding far too much power to state authorities in both land and water cases. It is no mistake that the modern law of regulatory takings for land, as developed in the 1978 Penn Central case, explicitly rests on the same intellectual confusions about property rights and economic losses that underlie the 1944 Willow River case, dealing with water rights. The only rationalization of both areas of law requires that the constitutional protection of private property start with the definitions of private property that have worked so well in practice under the natural law traditions of private law.

Alexander, on updating from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 I had to delete all previously created notifications and start again otherwise it crashed on build.
Alexpopov wrote:It seems this can happen because of since 1.1.3 version i use different plugin id.
The 1.1.4 version will be adapted for PTP 2.2, with another file ordering. In that case you may need to add again the instances that were used with 1.1.3 version.
But i believe that future modifications will not affect the build.
Regards, Alexander.
Is there a limit on the number of instances, I may need to have between 50-100?
Will version 1.1.4 work with PTP 2.1.3?
When will version 1.1.4 be available?
Will there be any new features in version 1.1.4, like a tooltip for when an image file is used to make a button out of a notification?
For those using an earlier version it is worth noting that the plugin installation conditions have changed, see documentation
Is it possible in the near future that you can add the feature of a tooltip for a custom image when that display option is selected?
BrianLR wrote:Alexander,
I have just tested 1.1.4 with PTP 2.2.0 RC1 and all seems OK so far.

Alexpopov wrote:Hi,Yes this is possible.I am wondering if what I am trying to do is possible or not
I found that Elementlist inside groups of the PTP plugin API works not well after saving and reopen project. This can be fixed.
For now try this: open your project and in all instances make all fields "Specify Pano ID to show notification" empty and rebuild. If the build is OK save the project then close and reopen it. Put your data in the fields "Specify Pano ID to show notification" and rebuild.
I'm already fixing this problem, unfortunately this is not documented from Kolor.
Let me know how its going.

Alexpopov wrote:Hi,
What settings do you use for Notifications plugin? Did you test project without Notification instances?

In this case perhaps you need to wait for final release of PTP, there will be some internal improvements for custom plugins and I'll also release Notifications - 1.1.6 with a minor improvement.

1. I don't see is how to hide it when one chooses to hide controls.
When you go full screen the button/icon disappears but is still selectable.

The magician shows a coin and a Boston box. Places the coin inside the box and closes the lid. He waves the box to show that the coin is still in the box. He places the box on the back of his hand, which supports a few centimeters over the table. He gives a flick on the box, the coin crosses the box and falls down on the table. The box is opened and is empty.

I went up to Austin to ride at Emma Long City Park with a zrx buddy today. Started out around 9 and took a little warm-up lap. We started out on the main loop which is about 6 miles. I hadn't been up there before but had heard it was pretty rocky and tight. That proved to be an understatement. It made Hidden Falls seem like a relaxing cruise. It was very tight and very rocky. The trail was barely wide enough in some spots and all of the riding is snaking through the cedars. Not knowing the trail didn't help either. I didn't know what was coming around the turns and found myself without enough momentum to make it up the numerous ledges. That resulted in stalling the bike several times and falling down even more.
We took a break at the halfway point and then less than a mile later, I found out that when a radiator goes up against a tree, the tree wins. I ended up bending the bottom of the left radiator back and splitting the top seam (which was spewing out like an oil rig). My friend towed me back to the car and that was the end of my off-road excursion for the day. I didn't even finish the main loop much less some of the other side trails at the park.
That was the toughest trail riding I've done so far. I gotta work on my bike control and lines a lot more before tackling it again. Also, for the first time, the WR was over-geared. It was so tight, I had a hard time keeping my speed up. I've got a new counter sprocket coming which should help out in that area.
On the way home, my arms were as tired after 4 miles as they were coming back from Hidden Falls after 30. At Hidden Falls, I rode mostly the atv trails which made a difference. Still, City Park if pretty tiring. It was difficult enough for me and my off-road skill set that I really didn't have much fun.
Maybe with a year or so more experience under my belt....

Rahdo Runs Through►►► Requests!
- Richard Ham(rahdo)United States
WashingtonCLICK THIS BEAGLE if you're looking for in-depth gameplay video run-throughs! :)
Hey everybody. I film a series of boardgame runthrough videos called Rahdo Runs Through and I run a yearly fundraising drive on Kickstarter to fund said series.
One of the main rewards I give to people who back me in these funderaisers is the ability to vote for (and at some backer levels directly choose) a portion of the games I would runthrough every month. So far the results have been very cool - the voters have been putting me through my paces with some really heavy games, and also some great obscure ones. Here's a thread devoted to the results so far: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/966204/directors-chair
The games that the voters choose from is found here in this geeklist. If you've got a game you'd really like to see the voters choose, add it here, and explain why you think it would be a good choice.
If you see something you like, be sure to it!!! Every month, when the voters cast their ballots, the list they'll be voting from will come from this geeklist, composed of the games that have gotten the most thumbs from all of you!
Bear in mind, I'll exercise some editorial control over this geeklist. If you request something insanely expensive/impossibly rare, I probably will remove it. Also, if it doesn't support 2 players, I'll definitely delete it, because I simply cannot play the game to do a runthrough, as I *only* play 2p games.
Note, I also remove items from the list if I'm confident my wife Jen or I will NOT enjoy playing them. Here's a list games that have been removed (and the reasons why):
Too long, heavy, and/or fiddley:
1830, Android, Arkham Horror, De Vulgari Eloquentia, Firefly: The Game, Fury of Dracula, Here I Stand, High Frontier 3rd Edition, Incredible Expeditions, Indonesia, Leaving Earth, Marvel Heroes, Neuland, Poseidon, Roads & Boats, Shadows of Brimstone, Space Alert, Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails, through the ages 4th edition, Warhammer quest: Silver Towerrahdo wrote:belial1134 wrote:Also, I thought I read this list's header was going to be updated on another thread? Or did I misread it and that was referring to another list being updated?

So how do these requests get used?
Here's how it works: there's 2 types of titles on this list: games I own, and games I don't own. Every month, I pick the top thumbed games from the "games I own" category and include them on voting ballots that my backers can use to choose which games I'll film every month. A few times a year, when my backers get to vote on what new games I'll buy, that list is comprised of the top thumbed games that I don't own from this list.
So if you really want to see something covered, list it here (if it's not already listed, and isn't one of the games above) and get it some thumbs!
Also, I want to give a HUGE shout out to BGG userJ. M. Lopez-Cepero "CP"Spain
Andalucia"The twilight there holds a serene beauty... You have seen it yourself as the sun sets on this world."
who made a nice little app for me to automatically count thumbs to save me the trouble of doing it by hand. Here's the link if anyone would like an at-a-glace view of where their favourite request is standing: http://thumbs.rahdo.com
Also, not for nothing, but I still choose the majority of games to be covered by Rahdo Runs Through, and this list will definitely influence me too when choosing games to film

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (Feb. 16) – Team USA came up from the back of the pack after a rough start Sunday to finish 11th in the men's 4x10k relay event of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games. Simi Hamilton (Aspen, CO) anchored the U.S. team's final freestyle leg at the Laura Cross Country Ski Center, where Team Sweden took home the gold. The relay will be featured on NBC's Daytime Olympic coverage Sunday at 3:00 p.m. EST and can be streamed in its entirety on NBCOlympics.com. Next up are the men's and women's team classic sprints scheduled for Wednesday Feb. 19.
Simi Hamilton
It's hard. It's a deceivingly hard course for sure. There's nothing crazy on it, but you're kind of working the transitions the whole time and there's not a lot of recovery. The one big downhill in the sprint course you're just on your feet the whole time and it goes by so fast that you don't really get a breath of air. It was fun and it's always good to get a distance start. I wish I had felt a little bit better. I've definitely had good distance races on courses like this before that are really rolling and cornery and transitiony. Today didn't feel awesome but I fought hard.
Erik Bjornsen
I was just warming up and it seemed like he (Newell) was in the mix so I was expecting to be right with them. I got out there and he was a little ways back, but it's a tough competition. I'm sure the pace just picked up and he maybe wasn't able to go with it.
I felt great. I just tried to ski smooth and strong. The last classic race I maybe went out a little too hard, so I was feeling great and I was able to just pop some of those hills, but also trying to be realistic and stay smooth so I could ski a smart race. I think I did. I was able to pick off a couple spots so I was happy with it.
Noah Hoffman
What we discussed was top eight. That was our goal at World Championships last year and we ended up tenth. Today, again, we're not too far from it, time-wise we're quite a ways from it, but Andy just had a tough goal. We're not that far away from being in there.

Home > Expired Vacancy
Secondary Teachers seeking supply teaching in Chippenham, get in touch!
Regular requests from Secondary schools for supply, long-term contracts and permanent cover means that we're constantly recruiting and have a high demand right now. If you're a newly qualified or experienced teacher we can tailor the type of work we offer to fit with your experience and what types of schools you want to work in. Working through an agency has become a respected way of gaining valuable experience, often leading onto long-term cover roles and helping to secure a permanent position after 'supplying' regularly. As an NQT, certain long-term cover roles can count towards your induction. Many teachers that are fully qualified choose supply too as supply teaching can offer a flexible working pattern so, for many teachers supply can work well for them and allow them to pursue other interests without the commitment of contracted employment.
What we look for:
From the Bristol office we cover the whole of the South West region so please call to discuss other roles if you live within a 100 mile radius of Bristol; we can help. Please contact Laurence Hewetson if you would like to arrange an appointment or discuss opportunities.

JSRI hosts 2012 election lecture
September 14, 2012
|Rev. Bryan N. Massingale
In anticipation of this year's presidential election, the Jesuit Social Research Institute at Loyola University New Orleans will host "Election 2012: With Liberty and Justice for Some? Race, Poverty, and Catholic Social Thought," on Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 7-8:15 p.m. in the Audubon Room, located on the second floor of the Danna Student Center. The event is free and open to the public and part of the Biever Guest Lecture Series at Loyola.
The lecture will emphasize the upcoming election and the challenge of promoting inclusive justice during a time of polarized public discourse. Keynote speaker, the Rev. Bryan N. Massingale, Marquette University professor of theology and past-president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, will explore the intersections of race, religion and politics. He will also look specifically at how the overlapping realities of racism and poverty continue to undermine our common life and the common good. Massingale specializes in social ethics and teaches courses on Catholic social thought, African American religious ethics, liberation theologies and racial justice.
Panelists will include Loyola faculty Peter Burns, Ph.D., political science professor, and María Pabón López, J.D., dean of the College of Law.
"Fr. Massingale is a wise and prophetic voice in the United States today," said JSRI research fellow Alex Mikulich. "Students, faculty and the broader community can expect a provocative and insightful presentation of the social justice issues at stake in the upcoming presidential election."
For more information on this event, contact JSRI administrative assistant Christi Schott at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504-865-7746

Water seen in rubble around star
Debris was part of an asteroid that held the ingredients for habitable planets
© Mark A. Garlick, space-art.co.uk, Univ. of Warwick and Univ. of Cambridge
For the first time, astronomers have discovered the watery building blocks of Earthlike planets whirling around a star outside our solar system.
The star, GD 61, is a white dwarf: a dying star with a gravitational pull strong enough to suck in surrounding asteroids and planets. As GD 61 gobbles up orbiting bodies, it shreds them into a dusty cloud of rubble, says astronomer Jay Farihi of the University of Cambridge.
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Farihi and colleagues analyzed the cloud's ingredients. They found rock-forming elements such as iron and magnesium, but also a wealth of oxygen. Only one possibility can explain the oxygen, Farihi says: "It has to be water."
The water and rocky material were part of a large asteroid before GD 61 ripped it to pieces, the researchers report in the Oct. 11 Science.
