SACRED COMMERCE at ESALEN, BIG SUR
Sacred Commerce is the practice of investing in the personal and professional development of one's employees.
These ideals are held in the highest regard,equally as important as any other regular business practices.
Sacred Commerce views the exchange of goods and services as an opportunity to change lives –
not simply turn profits.
This workshop will explore and answer the following questions.
· What if awakening was the context in your communities (workplace, home, etc)?
· What if management meant being accountable for your staff, co-workers, family, and/or friends for living a great life?
· What if conflicts were perceived as opportunities and doorways to more workable solutions?
· What if your employees didn't have to check their personal lives at the door, but were allowed to come to work to wake up?
This workshop is ideal for business owners, managers, entire companies, and individuals who seek a new perspective on their careers and work relationships.
We invite you to join Matthew and Terces, co founders of Café Gratitude and Gracias Madre at ESALEN, Big Sur for a weekend in paradise.
Soak in the most amazing tubs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Discover the hidden potential in your organization.

We have been rated Best Fried Chicken in Los Angeles by Jonathon Gold - LA Weekly. We only serve all natural / organic chicken raised without hormones or antibiotics. We have over 1050+ locations in Korea and Shanghi China, with 7 locations in the U.S. 4 location in Southern California and 3 in New York region.
Sweeping contours shelter So Hyang's upscale Korean fare, prepared with an eye towards healthfulness and authenticity. Known collectively as banchan, a set of small plates laden with kimchi, potato salad, and marinated vegetables accompany the entrees like so many ducklings following a man in a duck costume. Forming one of the signature dishes of the Korean peninsula, the seafood and scallions of haemul pajeon are griddled together in a savory pancake. Asian pear adds sweetness to the broth of mul-naengmyeon and the marinade of grilled short ribs, eschewing the need for added sweeteners and pairing well with vinegar or spicy mustard sauce. Vegetarians may request alternative items to munch between sips of sweet, vodka-like soju or soda-like soda. Asian American pop group Far East Movement found So Hyang's sleek atmosphere sufficiently party-friendly to be featured in their video for "Like a G6".
Bann infuses traditional East Asian cuisine with modern culinary adaptations to create an expansive menu that captures the distinct flavors of Korea's diverse tastescape. Masters of Korean comestibles use natural ingredients to prepare dishes in an open kitchen where diners can behold their flame-wielding skills as open nostrils catch the wafting aromas of exotic spices. Additionally, all tables are fitted with smokeless grills so guests can watch their succulent servings sizzle tableside. Doo boo kae nip ($8), an appetizer of bell peppers, soft tofu, and scallions swathed in fresh frocks of sesame leaves is a great launching pad for chew-infused conversations. After premeal noshing, order a juicy kal bi, a boneless beef short rib ($28), or a yang nyum dak, a tender chicken breast stuffed with five organic grains and glazed with honey and chili ($18). Hungry herbivores can enjoy the bi bim bap ($12), a heaping helping of steamed rice decorated with seasoned and marinated veggies to stop tongues from diving taste-buds first into hot woks.
Fusing the taste of the Orient and the American classic, hamburgers. You won't find one like this place anywhere else.
Haus Dessert Boutique's owner, Chris Kim, earned himself the bold moniker "Coffee Hunter" by introducing his award-winning Hawaiian coffee beans to his home country of Korea. The nickname reflects Kim's commitment to coffee, which also comes through at his Korean-themed café, where lattes come topped with artistic foam featuring hearts, leafs, and detailed sipping instructions. In addition to premium, hand-dripped coffee, Haus Dessert Boutique also offers a range of organic tea, in exotic blends such as green tea latte, lychee oolong, and jasmine. Diners can also opt to cool off with an iced tea or smoothie.
A range of handmade desserts provide a sweet pairing to the myriad beverages. The menu's European and Asian influence is easy to see in dishes such as the crème brulee, tiramisu, and a variety of cheesecakes.

These replace the cheap Chinese tuners on a lot of imports. Peg holes have to be reamed or drilled out for the bushings, but screw holes line up. Be careful with the usual thick finish on the peg head; it's easy to chip.
Easy, Easy, Easy - good quality product, good price, delivered on time with no issues.
I needed exact replacements for old Kluson deluxe tuners. They fit perfectly in the old spaces and are a huge improvement over the Kluson's. Very satisfied.
Excellent tuners, tight, positive tuning and great looks. Used them on a custom Tele build and a lap steel, and they performed greatly to my satisfaction.
These were a good price and I think they look great.
I read one of the earlier reviewers had trouble with breaking the screws that come with them. You have either drilled the wrong sized hole or are over-torqueing the screws. Using a small screw driver, like a mini driver will prevent over-torqueing.
I'm happy with the tuners, I think they look great, turn smoothly, stable tuning.
I like very much, it´s strong and precise, and has a beautiful shape!!!
These Gotoh tuners are a very good replacement for Kluson tuners used on older MSA PSG's. The only modification I had to make was to enlarge the tuners mounting hole's with a #30 drill bit for clearance.
I've just loaded a set of these onto my 1979 Rickenbacker 330. Perfect fit. In fact I left the old sleeves in place and used the original fixing screws. No-one will ever spot the upgrade. Perfect solution, thank you.
These tuners are physically identical and mechanically superior the the legendary originals they are intended to replace. I've used them on several custom-builds, and I've even used them to replace the "innards" of defective originals by swapping out the back cover. If your original covers can be salvaged (get out the metal polish and your Dremel tool), this is an excellent method to retain an all-original appearance on your instrument while upgrading the performance.
I installed these Gotoh tuners in my Samick Les Pal copy which is essentially an Epiphone Les Paul. Prior to the replacement I couldn't keep my guitar in tune. After every solo I would need to re-tune. A complete turn around after installing these tuners, They were easy to install (exact hole placement as the tuners I was replacing) and now my guitar stays in tune. Relatively inexpensive and they work great! Highly recommended.

Looking forward to those heads B!
The envo has a really nice cosy mood to it, but i think you should try taking them even further, just to see how it looks.
Usually when i say it's ok, i leave it be for a while and then i see tons of things i'd change

I like rendering in 637, though design is not that cool. But in 648 i reaaly like 1h girl. She's so cute ))
Good work )

I did around 7 heads now. and to me that is a lot! but i'll do more. You're going for 50 now, eh? Let's see them
I'm making mess here: Sketchbook .
also on dA and blogspot
Cool people:
Rotor | Kristoff | Kingkostas | Angel Intheuk | bbwolf
Whoa! Loads of improvement since I've last visited one of your threads, man! It's great to see you grow into your own. I love the simple style you've developed for your figures but I'd like to see you push the renders a bit more and really flesh out the values and textures in your paintings. Don't be afraid to get a little messy! Keep it coming!
Great characters and values here! Thanks for the progress video too, it's nice watching someone work in such an organized way. I tried doing a few figure value studies of my own with the same steps and worked out much better than what I've done before.
Beautiful work on the paneled drawings, really good sketches.
Can you do a happy female next please? While I like the ones you do, they are all a bit vacant looking.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
ser bra ut B-roder! go go!
Hey B
i think you forgot about reflected light on a boat and veranda
cheers and keep it up man !
Whoop whoop! Good luck on your 100 Head challenge! Brilliant female speed paints, by the way, I love the soft strokes and lighting!
Wow. I just noticed the 100head challenge, and it just happens that i do 50 faces for spartan camp comm activity. I am on 25 now.
geeez B Man look at all these comments! popular guy. Very looking forward to more of your faces...they had really lovely variety in style/execution...fun to look at
That last environment, what was your initial inspiration? Something you saw...or maybe you just like nice cabins and docks and boats. Its true isn't it? More stuff please!
Portfolio: http://www.jakecollinge.com
mmm... nekkid gurlz nice studies b-man. that 100 head challenge is pretty neat. i should do something similar to that just to set mini goals for myself and keep to my word haha. can't wait for the next one!

Gosh her eye is huge! The background is really nice with the soft colours.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
Tjena Björneeeee
Yeah I must agree with the person above me, the eye could be slightly smaller, I think it'd make it better. I think it could have a slight highlight on the shoulder to pop some form.
But it's a doodle, so.. You get away this time. I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME BJÖÖÖÖRNEEEE THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'LL SE OF MEEEEEEEeeeeeee
Bella | Alexon | DefiledVisions | Dan Liimatta
nice stylized one mate.I think the graffiti on the wall looks very good and fills the background quite nice.The figure could use more rendering maybe
keep up the good work!!!
Black Spot - Yeah, I was aiming for a stylized style with huge eyes. Thanks.
Loathsome - Ahh mate its all about taste. It wasnt suposed to be realistic. It would loose all flavour. I also think that if i put the shoulder higher she would not look as relaxed. Thanks for being critical not everyone here aim to help. just to bad I didnt fully agree this time Cheers mate!
kingkostas - Yeah your right about it needing some rendering. I tried to do most of it with a big brush. I could do with some rendering. Not gonna work on it anymore though. Thanks bro!
OK. So 25 more heads! I dont know if I can do a hundred I need to some studies aswell. Cheers all of you!

I-94 white out conditions made the morning commute nearly impossibleFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Near white-out conditions in the metro made the morning commute nearly impossible.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Near white-out conditions swept over stretches of interstate surrounding the metro.
Authorities even shut down some parts, after several early morning roll-overs along I-94 outside of Moorhead. For drivers who decided to brave the storm. The Monday morning commute brought 40 mile per hour winds.
In addition to slick roadways, blowing snow is causing near white-out conditions here by the interstate, making it difficult for drivers to see what's only feet in front of them.
Nancy Warling: "It'll blow in front of me sometimes and then it will quit, then it will go again."
Surrounding drivers like Nancy Warling with pure white...
Warling: "Where it's wide open, that's where it hits ya."
Grabow: "Traffic traveling way too fast for a lot of these areas where it's wide open out here, where there's no protection."
Way too much swirling snow for even the plows to keep up.
And making it hard for people behind the wheel, to not only see, but stay on roads like I-94.
Grabow: "We've had about a dozen crashes, about half of those being rollovers. Fortunately no injuries. We did have a state trooper squad car get hit."
Minnesota state patrol decided to close down the east-bound lanes outside of Moorhead.
Grabow: "When it gets to be such a clear and present danger to the motoring public, that's when we definitely shut it down."
And although roads may open back up after a few hours, there's no telling how quickly that window of visibility may close.
Grabow: "Do not put your schedule ahead of safety cause that's just it, it's bad."
Warling: "We're use to it around here so we take it easy hahaha"
State patrol says if you do need to go out, slow down, make sure your headlights are on, and do not use cruise control.

Syrian crisis: Dramatic impact of refugees on Jordan
You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
MCC's J. Daryl Byler and other representatives of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) responding to the Syrian crisis spoke with national and international media at an InterAction news briefing on March 13. InterAction, an alliance of U.S.-based NGOs of which MCC U.S. is a member, held the briefing to draw attention to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region as the conflict goes into its third year. Byler and his spouse, Cindy Byler, are MCC representatives for Iran, Iraq and Jordan, and have lived in Amman, Jordan, since 2007.
"Jordan is a small country of 6.5 million. It has limited resources, a severe shortage of water and high [2] unemployment," Byler said. Yet, the U.N. estimates that the number of Syrians in Jordan could swell from the current level of 450,000 to 660,000 by the end of the year. "To put this in perspective," he said, "the equivalent for the U.S. would be to receive 32 million Mexicans in two years." Listen to this audio report to hear more.

The NBA War Room is now closed, but the battleground remains contentious.
There is random chaos and confusion in the streets of Cleveland, a city still Googling away, trying to get specifics on somebody named Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.
"I'm speechless right now," Bennett said, pretty much reflecting the incredulous reaction of some Cavaliers fans.
There is confusion in Philly as well. The 76ers just traded their best player for a tall guy with a "fragile" sticker on his knee. Maybe Andrew Bynum can give Nerlens Noel rehabbing tips.
And it's kinda crazy in Boston, where Bill Simmons and Doc Rivers are sniping at each other on national television, and one of Doc's kid is hammering Simmons on Twitter. Maybe this is a prelude to the "Beatdown in Beantown" pay-per-view event coming soon. That's going to be as entertaining as it gets for a Boston team decimated of its star-power within the last few days.
Over here in our "dried-up little pond" -- as Shaquille O'Neal once derisively labeled Orlando -- I sense that peaceful, easy feeling of a franchise on the upswing.
It's a process, no doubt, once that will involve a bunch of losses and plenty of empty sections at the Amway Center for a year or so.
No worries, Rob Hennigan, the Magic GM, is usually the smartest -- and youngest -- guy in the room. He's not glib, arrogant, confrontational, or necessarily forthcoming. Robotic, maybe. But in a good way.
Hennigan often talks of establishing "sustainability" for the Magic franchise, and once you get past the techno-talk you see where he is going with this.
The Whiz Kid, who became the youngest general manager when he was hired at 30 last year, is re-vamping the Magic in an old-school way.
"It's all about heart, man," Victor Oladipo, one of the new Magic Men, said Friday afternoon during an introductory news conference.
He'll throw in a lot of hustle as well, considering Oladipo brings a reputation as the hardest worker in the gym to Orlando.
He's a Hennigan guy, without question, and part of the major revamp since Dwight Howard left the building. In came Moe Harkless, Nikola Vu¿evi¿, Al Harrington, Arron Afflalo, plus a number of high draft picks as part of a four-team shuffle. Big win for Orlando, especially since Dwight Howard was a disgruntled employee who wasn't going to stay.
Hennigan then dispatched J.J. Redick, the team's most popular player and a rising star, to Milwaukee as part of a deal that brought forward Tobias Harris to Orlando. Advantage, Orlando.
Imagine what this conversation would sound like today if Hennigan had listened to media dolts like me who thought the Magic should trade Howard for Bynum and the worst haircut in the world, as well as keep popular J.J.
"We've done a decent job of establishing a foundation for the team and establishing an identity," Hennigan said Friday. "It's our hope that any player we bring in will continue to embody the type of things that the players currently embody. We want guys who are about the right things, and we feel we're on the right track.
"…We just want to continue to grow, continue to get better, continue to learn and maximize what we feel is some pretty good things coming down the road for us."
Perhaps Hennigan is sugar-coating the process -- the Magic are likely to stink again next year, which bodes well as far as draft position -- as the road to rehab continues. But the guys Hennigan has in place right now fit his "sustainability" model.
Just add a superstar or two, stir, and watch what happens.
"Just keep working," Oladipo said.
Grab a Snickers bar. It will be a while. But imagine the sugar rush that awaits.

Christmas present
The item came as described and was very appreciated by the person I gave it for for Christmas. They had never seen anything like this before and were very taken with the novel idea! Thank you very much for selling such interesting and different items that cannot be easily picked up on the high street! I would certainly recommend iwoot to anyone! Kind regards Kirsty
Splash, flop.
I thought that this was a nice and fun idea, but when it arrived it had a big label stuck over the chopping surface that covers most its usable area. When I tried to peel it off, I realised it wasn't going to come off in one pice or very easily at all. Next, I soaked it in warm soapy water several times but nothing will remove the sticky surface, I even tried white spirit as I will not be using it for food and it STILL won't come off. It's now a couple of weeks later and I've had no success in removing the sticky back of the label. Not sure why they had to stick it to the item anyway, why not just use a cardboard sleeve? I would say that as a result of this it would be unusable as a chopping board. What a shame!
Perfect splatter!
Awesome addition to my kitchen, it's easy to clean and looks great!!! The hanging edge makes scooping your chopped veg even easier! Only issue is the sticker that covers it upon arrival is very difficult to get off and leaves glue residue on it. Soaked it overnight in kitchen cleaner.
Cool and funky!
Excellent talking point in my kitchen! This cool and funky Splash Chopping Board is the main focus in my kitchen when my friends and family come around. It looks so realistic and is a fun and quirky. The realistic drips hanging over the edge of my worktop finish the whole look off a treat. Great buy!
Extremely disappointed with this poor quality product. Arrived with a sticker on the front which has left a residue I have been unable to scrub or soak off, extremely thin and flimsy compared to other chopping boards of a similar price and poor quality finish to the bottom has scratched my brand new kitchen work surface! Previously highly recommended IWOOT but due to this I no longer do!
Bit of a design flaw
Excellent board and looks really excellent on my granite counter top...My only gripe is that for the money I would have thought that the designers would have fashioned somewhere underside of the board where you could stash the 'drip' when not in use. Currently I have the 'drip' in a draw but it would be nice to have it safe with the board.

Her responsibilities include participation in Christkindlmarkt events, New Ulm parades and events, Chamber of Commerce promotional events, charitable campaigns and the selection of the 2013 Christkind.
The opening ceremony for Christkindlmarkt starts at noon Friday near 1 N. Minnesota St. The Christkind will arrive by horse-drawn carriage and will be escorted by Mayor Bob Beussman. The illumination and dedication of the tree will be followed by the Concord Singers singing "O Tannenbaum." The Christkind will then open the market. The event is open to the public.

Yes! Sandy 12 White Belly Putter
A popular mallet design, Sandy-12 Mid is belly putter for golfers with a slight arc putting stroke. The weight distributed around the perimeter increases the MOI for stability through impact and better forgiveness on those slight mishits. With its cut-out design around the flange, Sandy-12 Mid is easy to aim and frame the ball using its distinct and bold alignment lines.
C-Groove Technology
Every face is perfect because its 100% precision CNC milled with no inconsistencies and the highest tolerances. The 20-degree upward cut of the C-Grooves concentric edges grip the balls surface and apply physical forces that simultaneously lift the ball out of its resting position. Yes putters achieve forward roll 21.5% quicker than other putters which repeatedly skid, skip and spin before settling into forward roll.
Vibration Dampening Insert
A precision-milled "through-slot" located behind the putter's face holds a thermoplastic polyurethane insert (TPU 65D) that captures unwanted vibration for exceptional feel and responsiveness.
True Square Alignment
The TPU insert, cavity alignment line and the center of the C-Grooves on the face align perfectly together on a single plane. This is True-Square Alignment and will help you frame the ball closer to the center of gravity location. Whether you are left eye or right eye dominant, True-Square helps you square the putter to the ball with the alignment lines on the topline and cavity.
Yes! Sandy 12 Satin Belly Putter

A Niche for everyone. You get to just be yourself. Great, happy environment for students and teachers. Best Catholic High School in the region. My son started at Jesuit, and transferred to CB. He thought that you were supposed to hate school until he went there.
I have a problem with constant use of the IPAD at school (and after school): Eye problems caused by computer use is computer vision syndrome (CVS). CVS is not one specific eye problem. Instead, the term encompasses a whole range of eyestrain and pain experienced by computer users. Research shows computer eye problems are common. Somewhere between 50% and 90% of people who work at a computer screen have at least some symptoms of eye trouble. Kids who use computers throughout the day at school also can experience eye problems related to computer use, especially if the lighting and computer position are less than ideal. Computer vision syndrome is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries at work. It occurs when you're carrying out the same motion over and over again. Just like those other repetitive stress injuries, computer vision syndrome can get worse the longer you continue the activity. Working at a computer requires that the eyes continuously focus, move back and forth, and align with what you are seeing. The eyes have to accommodate to changing images on the screen in order to create a clear picture for the brain to interpret. -WebMD
This is the best school in the sacramento area. It has a really good sense of community and everyone is very friendly. The new iPad program is fantastic for my child and I've had no complaints the three years my child has gone to school there. Go falcons!
Sending my kids to Christian Brothers High School is honestly the BEST money I have ever spent! My oldest graduated and was very well prepared to succeed in college - academically, socially and spiritually. My youngest is a sophomore and happy every day to go to school. The teachers care deeply and challenge the kids in the classroom. The iPad program is off to a great start. I'm glad that we own the device and are not having to "rent" it from the school. That way, we can personalize with the apps that best meet my son's learning style. Best of all, I like that the students are kind to one another. The teachers, faculty and staff create an environment where everyone can thrive and be themselves. I'm not sure that is typical of most high schools, but, I'm grateful that it's a part of CB. Each year, graduates earn admission to the best colleges and universities in the nation (Ivy Leagues, Military Academies, Stanford, Georgetown etc.) It's up to our kids to put in the work and CB can get them there.
Quite disappointed in CB's new iPad requirement. The school is already quite expensive and now is requiring ALL students purchase an iPad for school. This requirement would be acceptable for starting freshman students and/or sophomores but not for seniors who only have one year left. This just shows how CB is more concerned with looking good for potential "rich" families and not taking into account current families and their finances.
Christian Brothers truly is the place to be. It is a warm and welcoming environment that unlike other Catholic schools in the area admits students from all academic, financial, and even religious backgrounds. CB sticks to there five core Lasallian principles of faith: quality education, faith in the presence of God, concern for the poor and social justice, respect for all persons, and inclusive community. Students leave with a sense of all of these because CB actually acts on these beliefs and genuinely cares about the well being of every student. My child is now a junior, yet her teachers from freshmen year still remember and care about her.
Our oldest graduated from Christian Brothers last year and our other child is a junior. Christian Brothers, the oldest Catholic high school in Sacramento, provided the kind of high school experience and more that we hoped our children could have: Excellent college prep academics, co-ed, caring environment, diverse student body, great array of extra-curricular activities. No matter what academic level your child is at, they will graduate well prepared for college, if they put in their share of the work. Not only will their intellect be developed, but so will their social abilities and their sense of themselves as spiritual begins. The location of the school, Oak Park, provides a real-world environment and the students have opportunities to participate in volunteer work in this community. This school truly lives its mission as a Catholic school in the Lasallian tradition. CB has an outstanding leadership team and dedicated faculty and staff. You'll also find loyal and committed parents ready and willing to work on school events. CB is a Sacramento tradition and a great source of pride for the region. Many say this is the jewel of Sacramento's Catholic high schools.
Christian Borthers is an excellent school. My daugther transfered from Loretto in her junior year and had a wonderful experience at Christian Brothers. If you take the Scholars/honors/AP track courses at CB you will be well prepared fo apply to top colleges. Highly recommended!
Though they market themselves as a school with exemplary academics, my child and I found his teachers to be not only unsatisfactory, but demotivated in general, as if they didn't even enjoy what they were teaching. In addition, the classes were much larger than the admissions people said that they would be, leading to a much less personalized learning experience for my child.
When I first toured this school I was very impressed. The students, and staff were so friendly and helpful (as I would say a "Stepford" school) My son was admitted into their SAGES summer school program being he was a little behind. 2 weeks toward the end of the summer school I met with the teacher and was told my son was a hard worker and that he was "teachable", and that there was a few kids in the class that had no chance of making it. This made me feel like my son was actually doing ok in the program. After summer school ended, CB sent us a letter stating my son was denied admission because he had been failing? I called and emailed the President, Vice President, Principal, Vice Principal, Dean of Students, and the teacher of CB and NO ONE will give me the time of day as to why I was told one thing and another thing was done. They DO NOT practice what they preach what so ever!
This is an excellent school. After four years, my daughter had a great experience at CB. Students at this age are very difficult to deal with, but the school knows how to support them and bring the best out of them. This is indeed a school with pride, tradition and high quality education.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. The teachers and staff are top notch! They really care! It is definately worth the financial sacrifice!
Let me begin by saying that I am currently a sophmore at Christian Brothers Highschool. Our school is one of the best in northern California for a variety of reason. We have principals that will stand out in the front of the school every morning simply to say good morning to any and all students. We have teachers that will stay late to answer any and all questions that a student would have. Our student body is consists of a variety of students of different races, creeds, and backgrounds , who are united within the Lasallian Community. We have the Christian Brothers on campus to serve as living paragons of virtue. We have programs and activities that bring us closer to our community like tutoring, mentoring, or overall support. Our moto 'Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve' is prevalent in our students, teachers, and families because we are the Lasallian Community.
CBHS is the best private school in Sacramento. The location is not in the best neighborhood, but the reason for staying in Oak Park exemplifies the school's teachings of serving the community and those less fortunate than yourself. CB's motto'Enter to learn, leave to serve' is the best teaching for today's youth and is demonstrated by its staff and alumni. The teachers really care for your child and the closeness of the school community ensures that your child is nurtured and dosen't 'fall through the cracks' Individuality and creativity are encouraged. Your child is lucky if he/she is able to attend!
Christian Brothers is a very inviting place. They have many estra curriculum & activities for their students. This one of the best schools to get involved in. I am a freshman at the school this year & I love it. The teachers take the time & effort to help the student succeed.
Christian Brothers High School has provided my sons with a great educational background. Both have called home after there first years of college (one at Morehouse in Atlanta, GA & the other at St. Mary's Moraga, CA) and stated that CB prepared them above and beyond what is expected at college! Thank You CBHS! I am so pleased with this school I continue to donate to them even through my sons are have been out of high school for a year. I cannot say they would of been this successful at some other high school.
Christian Brothers is a very tight-knit family. They set their standards very high for their students and expect the best. Academics are broad, yet challenging.
This school is a great quality school that provides all the needed tools for a student to be prepared for college. This would be a great school for any student.
CB is a great school. The faculty and staff are caring and responsive to parental concerns. I feel my student is safe on this campus and is cared for. I do recommend an opportunity for more parental input as to teacher performance and evaluation feedback to administration. Most teachers are very good.
Each day, students at CBHS are reminded of the school's philosophy when they walk past the cross in front of the school. This cross displays the words 'Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve'. This statement is the foundation of what the Christian Brothers are all about. CBHS students are challenged both academically and socially and go on to very prominent colleges and careers. More importantly, they are taught to go out into the world to promote social justice and cater to those less fortunate. What better education can a parent ask for their child? I am proud to say that my son will graduate this year (2004) from CBHS and my daughter in 2006. As a Christian Brothers' alumnus myself (1977), I am proud to carry on the La Sallian education tradition through my children and hopefully their children one day. I thank God daily for CBHS. PEJ

In this June 26, 2013 file photo, Gov. Paul LePage speaks to reporters shortly after the Maine House and Senate both voted to override his veto of the state budget at the State House in Augusta, Maine.

By Dennis Hoey
Staff Writer
AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage issued 21 vetoes on Monday, cementing his place in the state record books.
In a flurry of actions late Monday afternoon and evening, the governor set aside legislation that would have raised the state's minimum wage, allowed public funding for charter schools, regulated the use of drones by law enforcement agencies, and established a preference in state purchasing for American-made products.
The Legislature will reconvene Tuesday and have an opportunity to override LePage's vetoes. That would require a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate.
Monday's slew of vetoes brings LePage's total for the current legislative session to 82 -- 33 more than the record of 49 set in 1977 by independent Gov. James Longley.
More vetoes could be issued Tuesday by the governor.
Among the bills LePage axed on Monday was L.D. 611, an act that would have raised the state's minimum wage from $7.50 an hour to $9 by 2016 and then raise it occasionally for inflation.
In his veto message, LePage said, "Too many people are worried about the bare minimum, wages or otherwise." He the state should focus on lowering energy costs and reducing the tax burden.
L.D. 236 would have set up protections for citizen privacy by regulating the use of unmanned aerial vehicles -- also known as drones -- by law enforcement agencies.
"This bill steps too far, creating more private rights of action, leading to more lawsuits. Creating more litigation will do nothing to help our overburdened court system, especially when we do not have a drone problem in Maine," LePage wrote in his veto message.
The governor said he plans to sign an executive order directing the commissioner of public safety to establish guidelines around the use of drones by law enforcement agencies.
LePage also vetoed L.D. 1057, an act related to the public funding of charter schools, arguing that "this bill is another attempt to destroy public charter schools in Maine by a thousand cuts."
The bill would have established a new program budget in the Department of Education to fund public charter schools.
LePage said the law would have allowed the Legislature to target charter schools and their offerings by reducing the amount of available funds.
L.D. 890 would have established a state purchasing policy that favors the purchase of American-made goods.
"Letting this bill become law would say to American workers that their products cannot compete unless the deck is stacked in their favor. I cannot and I will not say that,"LePage wrote in his veto message.

Distinguished Service Cross Citation
8 October 1918 — Fleville, France
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John E. Personett, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Hill 272, near Fleville, France, October 8, 1918. Although severely wounded at the beginning of the attack, Sergeant Personett refused to be evacuated, but continued to direct his platoon in the advance. In an attack on an enemy machine-gun position, after all other members of his group were killed or wounded in the attack, he alone rushed the position and captured the gun and crew. This permitted the further advance of the company.

HOLLY SPRINGS — A Boy Scout is collecting donations to build a memorial to veterans that will feature thousands of bricks, a marble centerpiece and a scrap of steel from the World Trade Center.
David Griffith's Eagle Scout project will honor veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terror – including David's older brother, Sam Griffith, who was killed in action in Afghanistan 18 months ago. He was 36.
David, 16, had always figured his older brother would be part of his capstone project. Sam Griffith grew up in Holly Springs and did his own Eagle Scout work here, installing smoke detectors in older neighborhoods some 20 years ago.
"Even though he was quite a bit older than me, I always viewed him as my competition," David said. "He had an amazing project that he was able to complete. I wanted to do something better than his."
Now the brothers' Boy Scout careers have connected them in a much deeper way. For David and his family, the planning of the brick pentagon and its marble cap have become part of the healing process.
"After my brother died, I kept a lot to myself. I didn't really want people to know exactly how I felt," David said.
It was his grandfather who suggested last August that the Harnett Central High School student build a memorial. Now the project has given David a way to express his grief. He has learned to tell his story, presenting his project to reporters, Boy Scouts officials and Holly Springs town leaders.
Getting the local government on board took "about a minute," David said.
He will dig the footer for the memorial, raise money for the project and collect the materials, while the town will help put it all together.
The memorial, 10 feet long on each side, will stand near the pond at Veterans Park in northern Holly Springs. It will be capped by a 3-foot marble centerpiece, and it will feature a piece of donated steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center.
To fund the project, David is selling customizable bricks through ThatsMyBrick.com. Sponsors are asked to pay at least $50 to place a brick, customized with their message or logo, in the memorial. Of that sum, $33 will go to pay for the memorial's marble cap.
After months of design, David is glad to see the project moving forward. He and his dad have laid out the steel outline of the project in their driveway outside Duncan, and David has won all the approvals he needs for the biggest effort of his life.
"When you're waiting at home, just waiting for an approval for months, it almost feels like you're not getting anywhere," he said. "The ability to say I'm now working on my Eagle project is such a relief and such an honor."
He hasn't stopped thinking about his brother either – every day, David said. The memories are everywhere.
Sam Griffith left behind two young children, and his photos and medals decorate his family's house.
And now Holly Springs will have another reminder of him and his fellow veterans.

No, the trap should go directly to the stub out.
Installing a 60" dual sink vanity in a master bath. Each has its own 1.5" drain stub out.
To maximize space inside the cabinet I would like to route the drain piping in the manner best suited to the layout. What it means in English is i want to use up to 3 90 degree elbows downstream of the trap.
The sink tailpiece will go directly to the trap, but after the trap I want the feedom to route the pipe to my liking. Is it OK to use 90s after the trap?
No, the trap should go directly to the stub out.
Since you may already have an elbow in the wall, that would make four 90 degree turns and two is normally the maximum number allowed. And when your drain plugs up those extra elbows are going to make it very difficult to unplug it.
Thanks guys. The lightbulb went off when I was in the Lowe's plumbing dept. I figured I could use 2 wall pipes which have 90 deg. elbows built in. I think I over thought this one, thanks again.
By MN code, a trap arm can only be offset a maximum of 90°, using either a long sweep 90 or 2) 45's.
If you were planning to use 1 1/4" "flush ells" which have slip joint ends, then you would have had a drain that fell apart everytime you bumped it.
Well here's the status. One trap went real well and I didn't need any 45s or 90s. Just an extension tube and everything is fine, nice and dry.
The other trap (2 sink vanity) is farther from the stub out. I only had to use one 45. The problem is that the 45 is chrome with slip joints on either end. Everything else is plastic tubing, 1 1/4". I think you're right in that the chrome to plastic connection is not real solid. Neither Home Depot nor Lowe's had 1 1/4" plastic 45s. What gives? Should I keep looking for a 1 1/4" plastic slip joint 45 or do I need a different approach?
Thanks for the help.
Hope to get some feedback on this. I'm not sure what the next step is to fix the one trap that is leaking. I think I need a fitting that's not available at HD/Lowe's, or I have the piping wrong overall. Thanks.
Hi guys. I would really like some advice with this. Not really sure what my options are. The issue is I get a good fitting setup if I use plastic tubing in a sink trap, with the exception of one chrome 45 degree dual slip nut fitting. Problem is the chrome to plastic joint is not real solid. If there is such a thing as a 45 degree dual slip nut *plastic* fitting, I would be in business. So far I can't find such a thing.
If a 45 deg. plastic fitting exists, just not at HD/Lowes, it would be good to know this. Yes/no?
If I am totally in left field, please let me know. As it stands I have a leaking sink trap and don't really know which direction to turn. Thanks alot for any pointers with this.
Latest update on this. Still don't have a solution.
I'm going to try the following. FYI I have a bronze DWV fitting in the wall with male 1 1/4" pipe threads.
If anyone cares to offer their $0.02 on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Starting from the sink tailpiece:
1. Plastic extension tube, plastic slipjoint nut
2. Plastic p-trap, plastic slipjoint nut
3. Plastic extension tube, plastic slipjoint nut
4. One side of a 1 1/4" trap adapter. Bronze slipjoint nut
5. Other side of trap adapter. Sweat connection to 1 1/4" copper
6. Short 1 1/4" copper pipe, sweated to adapter and 45 degree copper elbow
7. 45 degree copper elbow, sweated to 1 1/4" copper pipe on both sides
8. Short 1 1/'4" copper pipe, sweated to 1 1/4" female pipe thread adapter
9. Female pipe thread adapter, attached to bronze male fitting in wall stub out.
It's been about 2 hours and the trap has not leaked, even with sustained hot water running through it! Yippee! I plumbed it using the sketch above, but without the extension tube between the p-trap and the trap adapter. Had to use teflon paste in all the threads (plastic and copper) in order for it not to leak. What a bugger this was.

CRAMERTON, N.C. – When the South Fork of the Catawba River crested, the Gaston County town of Cramerton took a direct hit from flood waters.
"I've been here 34 years and never seen it like this; I've seen it rise, but nothing like this," said Jim Williams, a resident.
Eighth Avenue took the brunt of the rising waters with the fire station, pharmacy, coffee shop and Presbyterian Church getting flooded.
(Click here to view photos)
"I'm 47-years-old, I've never seen it this high. In 2003 we saw where [flood waters] came to the step, but never past that," said Preston Guy, who co-owns Cramerton Pharmacy.
He says he feels lucky the damage was limited to the floor because he and his family and friends were out sandbagging till 1 a.m.
"There hasn't been any computer damage, no merchandise damage, just floor damage so we've been very blessed," said Guy.
Mayor Ronnie Worley says part of the reason damage was limited was thanks to volunteers who came from all over to help. Worley said nearby towns helped out with pumps, mutual aid for answering calls and sandbags.
"We had lots of help with sandbags; folks just from the community with people asking, 'What can we do,' a situation like this is when a community comes together," he said.
Even though the fire station took on some water, it never closed; firefighters bunked on the second floor and would have been able to respond to an emergency.
But the mayor says nothing flood-related came up.
Flood waters began to recede on the South Fork of the Catawba River early Monday morning after the river crested at about 17.31 feet-- more than seven-feet above flood stage, just before 5 a.m.
It is the river's third highest level in history, surpassed only by a 21.3-foot crest in August 1940 and 17.38 feet in 1970.
Parts of Catawba, Lincoln and Cleveland Counties received up to a foot of rain Saturday as a result of a slow-moving rain system.
The resulting flash floods were blamed for two deaths in Caldwell County.
Gaston County officials have warned people not to drive through flooded areas and keep the roads clear for emergency officials.

VINS celebrates 40 years of conservationBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | December 02,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
A red tail hawk flies out of employee Katie Christmans hands during a raptor environmental educational demonstration at the Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences on Friday.QUECHEE An Upper Valley landmark known for conservation efforts marked a major milestone this fall.
The Vermont Institute for Natural Sciences in Quechee celebrated 40 years of successful wildlife preservation and environmental education programs. VINS is a renowned environmental organization and its work has impacted the local community, the state and beyond. VINS success can be traced back to its origins when local residents took action to protect local habitat from industrial pollution.
The Ottauquechee River is a critical water source for the Upper Valley. It starts high up in the Green Mountains and meanders east until it joins the Connecticut River.
The Ottauquechee was heavily polluted in the early 1970s, when mills were dumping waste upstream. A group of Woodstock citizens got together, cleaned up the river and stopped the mills from causing further harm.
So that was the start, VINS President John Dolan said. They became successful pretty quickly. So then they thought OK, what do we do now?
VINS began as an organization in 1972 and operated out of a Woodstock storefront. They moved into a old farm building on Church Hill Road in Woodstock in the late 1970s and began new programs.
VINS conducted ornithological research and the rehabilitation of avian wildlife. The work was prompted by VINS co-founders Sally and David Laughlin, Richard Farrar, June McKnight and Jenepher Lingelbach, Dolan said.
The staff initially took in injured raptors because nobody else knew where to bring them, Dolan said. (Sally) took care of injured birds in her backyard and had a number of enclosures with injured owls, hawks and falcons that were brought to her for treatment. It really evolved into a professional rehabilitation operation.
As VINS settled in, a new program was established, Environmental Learning for the Future, an award-winning environmental education program for elementary-age children.
ELF is designed to give children an understanding of and appreciation for the natural world and increase scientific and environmental literacy. The ELF curriculum includes a textbook called Hands On Nature and is used throughout New England schools.
As VINS grew in the 1990s, so did its programs, and a new facility was needed. VINS moved to a new location near the Quechee Gorge in 2004 and built a new nature center that includes a rehabilitation and release center, exhibits, nature trails and more.
VINS established an in-house ornithological research group that studied native birds of Vermont. According to Dolan, the group was instrumental in removing the Bicknells Thrush, a songbird, and the Vermont Loon from the endangered species list.
The nature center was a significant development for VINS. It became a destination, it drew a lot of people from across the country and raised our profile, Dolan said.
The final and perhaps the most influential contribution to VINS success is the support from volunteers, donors, researchers and conservationists who shared a concern for wildlife and local habitat.
A lot of what you see at the center comes from tens of thousands of volunteers that helped us out over the last 40 years, Dolan said. Ive been with VINS for six years but I can see from where I sit the very rich legacy that staff, donors and volunteers left behind: a tremendous knowledge of natural sciences and reputation for quality programing in environmental education. VINS has always maintained high standards of quality in everything its done.

UC Davis Extension Short Courses
The University of California offers many courses to the general public to assist in furthering their educational goal. These courses are offered through the university's outreach division UC Davis Extension. While UC Davis Extension offers courses for a wide variety of topics, in conjunction with the Department of Viticulture & Enology, they have developed a number of excellent wine making and grape growing classes. Within the last few years we have begun to adapt classes so that they may be offered as distance learning courses via the internet.
More information on class schedules and requirements can be found on the University Extension web site.
