Philippine President wants to end military drills with US
Manila, Sep 29 (IANS) Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte wants to end joint military drills with the US to emphasise his country's independence from that country, the presidential spokesperson said on Thursday.
Duterte on Wednesday announced his intention to put an end to the regular military exercises between the US and Philippine armed forces in a speech in Vietnam where he is on an official visit, EFE news reported.
"(Duterte) wants to mark the course of a free and independent Philippines … He sees it as something that will bring well-being and prosperity to the nation," spokesperson Ernesto Abella said.
Although Abella seemed to be hinting at a shift in the country's foreign policy, Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay had clarified after the speech that Duterte was referring to joint patrols in international waters.
Duterte said the drill between the US and the Philippines starting from October 4 and 12 in Luzon and Palawan regions, with the participation of around 2,000 soldiers, will be the last ones.
In recent weeks, Duterte has been reaching out to Russia and China, and moving away from the US, a country that has historically been one of its major allies.
So far, both countries have maintained the same strategy against Beijing in the South China Sea territorial dispute, with Washington supporting Manila in modernization and training of its armed forces.
Although Duterte has assured that he will respect the military agreements that allow the US to use Philippine bases and increase its presence in the region, he has also expressed on numerous occasions his desire to seek a more independent foreign policy.
Bilateral relations have deteriorated since Duterte assumed presidency in June and began a violent campaign against drug trafficking, which has left more than 3,500 dead.
The President has come under severe criticism for his aggressive anti-drugs campaign from Washington and others.
In a counter-attack, he had denounced the hypocrisy of the US and protested against the massacres the latter allegedly carried out in the early 20th century in southern Philippines, which was once an American colony.

Pet Peeves
Stephen and I were at a birthday party today and I was annoyed. It made me think about pet peeves and what annoys me about anything food related. I would love to hear yours!
This one was about timing. I hate it when you go to a party and they wait way too long to serve either the food or the dessert. This party started at 3:30. We left at 7:15 at they still had not served the cake! This happens all the time at weddings. Half the people are gone before they get to cutting the cake. Next time you are hosting a party, be conscious of timing and serve appetizers, the main food, and dessert in a timely manner.
Other pet peeves:
Buffets that don't have labels. With food allergies on the rise and so many people avoiding certain foods (no meat, no seafood, no dairy, no gluten, etc), it is really nice to have a label on every buffet line to disclose it's contents. You can also do this at a potluck if your dish looks unusual or isn't obvious in it's contents.
Talking with your mouth full. I can't believe how many people I have eaten with lately who violate this important rule we all learned when growing up. I am sure I do it, too, but I feel like more and more people are mixing their words with their meatballs and it is quite disgusting. I am going to make an effort to be more conscious of this myself.
Gum chewing. This is the worst one for me. I can remember sitting in 100+ person lecture halls in college and hearing someone cracking their gum from across the room. Gum cracking or chewing loudly (with mouth open) has got to be one of the most annoying habits. Anyone with me? It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. If you love your gum, chew alone or be conscious of those around you. Since this is such a big one for me, I never eat a full piece of gum at a time because I don't want to offend someone else with my gum chewing. By limiting myself to a half piece, the wad is smaller and tuck it back in my mouth without chewing it obnoxiously. Am I weird or does anyone else do that?
Thanks for listening to me vent about my pet peeves. I would seriously love to hear yours. It feels good to get them out!

text: I bring you a big database of cephalopod genes. http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/6605 EDIT: So maybe I should talk more about them. You'll notice that a lot of them look curiously like genes from vertebrates and other phyla - for example, alcohol dehydrogenase and complexin. Even cephalotocin and octopressin are cephalopod analogs of oxytocin and vasopressin. There are a few interesting genes, though. The s-crystallins form cephalopod lenses (which are made out of hard protein; I've handled a Humboldt squid eye and the lens feels like a marble because it's made of crystallized protein), and cephalotoxin is, of course, one of the various types of venom octopuses produce.

I have a Nexus 7 running stock 4.4.2 rooted rom and now it will not turn on. This device was flashed and rooted a couple of months ago.
Here the other day, when I tried to turn it on, it booted into recovery where it said no OS installed. I then rebooted, but it was still going into recovery. I turned it off and put it away for a couple of days,but now it will not boot at all. I have tried several ways like hard reboot with the power + volume down + volume up, but there is no response at all. The screen is black. I tried to charge the device, connect it to the computer, nothing happens. Running the command "ADB devices" from terminal can't find any device.
Any suggestions? Can the device suddenly just stop working due to rooting/unlocked bootloader? Could it be that there is a hardware problem?

Written on: 02/10/2013 by EllJ (1 review written)
The flowers were ordered for me by a very close friend for my Birthday. The delivery address was advised as a work address; the flowers arrived at 4.40pm very late in the day for clearly what was a birthday request.
The bunch of flowers were totally lost in the box as they were so small nothing like what had been ordered and nothing like the visual picture on the website.
The request was for the "bonfire" bouquet - instead what arrived was a small tight bunch of purple flowers with 3 orange roses which lasted about 2 days and 1 yellow flower.
As I work in an industry where we do work with florists; I do was shocked that someone felt that the flower display was acceptable to send.
As a recepient; your company left me in a very awkward situation when I spoke to the friend that had very kindly ordered the flowers for me.

Power House Amuse, the Japanese tuning expert, have released a lineup of their brand name high quality exhaust specifically made for the latest Nissan 370Z. The top quality exhausts will come in two setups.
Power House Amuse R1 Titat Extra STTI, the first one, comes with a 76.3mm main pipe diameter channeling into a couple 2x50mm mufflers and going out to a couple fo 115mm exhaust ends.
The total weight of the system is only 9.15kg in contrast to the 18.65kg of the regular exhaust. The standard version costs $2,460 or a Gold Ring version with a $2,570 tag.
The following style is the RS-Silent STTI muffler which is a bit distinct from the former with a 76.3mm collector splitting into 2x60mm pipes going to the rear muffler via a couple of resonators.
The rear silencers are 60mm in diameter and also terminate with a couple of 115mm ends. Although this system is quieter it is more expensive. It weighs in at 10.3kgs. and begins at $3,430 for the regular version and for the Gold Ring variant, the price tag increases to $3,540.
The name "370Z" refers to the engine displacement of the newest Nissan Z. Yes, the Nissan 370Z is powered by a 3.7-liter VQ37VHR engine with VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) that could develop a max output of 331 PS and a peak torque of 366 Nm.
Moreover, this engine – around 35 percent of which are composed of new parts -- delivers power up to 7,000 rpm, as well as enhanced low-end power and more high-end torque compared to its predecessor.
This 3.7-liter VQ37VHR engine could be paired with any of the two available cutting-edge performance-raising transmissions. One of these is an enhanced close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox featuring the synchronized down shift rev-matching system that automatically adjusts engine speed when shifting to the exact speed of the next gear position.
In this "SynchroRev Control" function, the engine blips the throttle during both downshifts and upshifts to pave way for smoother shifting and improved handling.
According to Pierre Loing, Nissan's European vice-president for product planning, the new 370Z represents the essence of the Nissan brand just like the original 240Z around four decades ago. He remarked that the new Nissan 370Z could deliver an intense performance at an exceptional value – something that sports car enthusiasts are looking for.

Hi, I am Amber. I think I may have introduced myself after my last m/c or I may have just lurked but sadly I am back again. I had a m/c in the beginning of December and we were lucky and I got pregnant after waiting just one cycle. We went in and things were going well. My numbers were rising and we saw a heartbeat at around 6/7 weeks. Well last Tuesday we went back and the baby should have been measuring 9/10 weeks but instead it had stopped growing not too long after my last appointment. That night I started bleeding. I am heartbroken. I am very blessed to have my 2 beautiful daughters but I ache for my little ones who didn't make it.
I also don't like how m/c are so secretive. You don't tell people you are expecting in case something happens. Well guess what something has happened and I don't want to be quiet about it. I need the support, I need the prayers, I need the love and I don't need to grieve in silence. I am heartbroken and I don't like walking around like I am okay. I will be okay but just not yet.
Sorry I just needed to get that out. Thank you for be here so that I can.
I am so sorry that we are all here. I pray everyone will get their rainbow babies soon.

Adsense Pro Ultimate theme - 300x250 ad isn't displaying at all.
I enabled the 300x250 ad to show below the title. I made sure I put in the adsense code for the 300x250 ad.
When I refresh my site, it only shows the two 160x600 ads, but for reasons I can't fathom, the 300x250 ad isn't displaying at all.
I'm at my wits end here, I'm pulling my hair out of frustration. It's been over a week.
Unfortunately, the creators of the theme said it has nothing to do with the theme. They say the problem is with adsense.
Now, we all know it's next to impossible to directly contact adsense. The only way I can get help is through these forums.
So please help me out here. I don't even know what to do.

Original paper
Interlayer vacancy characterization of synthetic phlogopitic micas by IR spectroscopy
Wunder, Bernd; Melzer, Stefan
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 14 Number 6 (2002), p. 1129 - 1138
published: Dec 1, 2002
ArtNo. ESP147051406018, Price: 29.00 €
Phlogopitic micas of the solid solution binaries KMg3[AlSi3O10](OH)2 (phlogopite) - RbMg3[AlSi3O10](OH)2 (Rb-phlogopite), phlogopite - CsMg3[AlSi3O10](OH)2 (Cs-phlogopite), and phlogopite - BaMg3[Al2Si2O10](OH)2 (kinoshitalite) have been synthesized at temperatures of 700 and 800°C and pressures of 0.2 and 2.0 GPa. The run products have been investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe, and infrared spectroscopy. All runs yielded between 81 and 100 wt.% of phlogopitic micas, beside traces of quartz, sanidine, and in one run talc. Celsian and cymrite formed as additional phases in the runsof the (K-Ba)-series. The synthetic phlogopitic micas often consist of mixtures of the three polytypes 1M,2M1and 2M2, with 1M being the most abundant polytype. Based on electron microprobe analyses, interlayer vacancy concentrations of up to 0.29 (p.f.u.) were determined, indicating a significant talc component within the synthesized phlogopitic micas. In addition to the known characteristic phlogopite OH-stretching vibrational bands, the infrared spectra of the synthetic micas with incompletely filled interlayer sites exhibit a further OH-band, centered in the spectral range 3674 - 3678 cm-1. The intensity of this band is correlated with the amount of vacancies. The vacancy concentration of phlogopitic micas was determined quantitatively from the intensity of this infrared band by using the intensity of the principal OH-band of synthetic talc (Mg3[Si4O10](OH)2) as a standard. The vacancy concentration of the interlayer site as determined in such a way by infrared spectroscopy corresponds to those independently derived by electron microprobe analyses.

Radiation Problem
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot heat a body inside a furnace ? I have heat all over the interior (from resistors) but the heat does not enter the body. I think it is because the radation. I'm 100% sure about the geometry/mesh. Or, could be the boundary conditions ? Does anybody had this kind of problem - heating a body inside a furnace/room ?

Bentley is building a new multipurpose arena as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance the campus experience for its students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters. The university teamed with Architectural Resources Cambridge (ARC) to design a new venue with approximately 2,000 fixed seats that can also accommodate up to 3,400 for large scale events including seminars, concerts, and guest speakers; the building will also simultaneously serve as an ice hockey arena, providing Bentley's NCAA Division 1 hockey team a much-needed home rink. Since 1977, the team has used the John A. Ryan Arena in Watertown.
Bentley worked closely with the Conservation Commission for the City of Waltham prior to any construction to ensure the environmental safety of the project. Before the start of foundation excavation, soil samples were taken at the project site, tested by McPhail Associates and results met all state and federal regulations. We will continue to make sure the land is safe and there are no adverse conditions that come from construction. Bentley's Director of Sustainability has been intimately involved with the project since day one and has helped ensure the project receives Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, one of the industry's highest honors for environmental friendliness.
The Plan
The new multipurpose arena is part of the university's comprehensive 10-year capital plan to modernize and expand the campus including renovating academic buildings and residence halls, building a new health and wellness center and a new academic building.Throughout 2016, a working group appointed by the president studied the feasibility of the long-proposed multipurpose arena to be located on campus. The new building will be funded by a combination of private gifts and operating reserves.
Venue Highlights:
- The building will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification requirements for sustainable design, construction and operations; features include a solar-panel roof, high-efficiency lighting and water-saving bathroom fixtures.
- A glass-walled function room will provide space for a range of community and campus events.
- The Division 1 men's hockey team will have a wide range of amenities including locker rooms for Falcon and visiting teams, equipment room, weight room and sports medicine center.
- Designed to promote connection, the entry will include a grand staircase to the upper lobby where a second-floor concourse will enable people to gather pre- and post-event or during intermissions.
The location for the venue is on Bentley's south campus at the former site of the tennis courts. Construction begin in September 2016 with an anticipated opening in early 2018.
The Benefits
Bentley president Gloria Larson stated, "As a university, we will continue to invest in important strategic initiatives that raise academic quality, as well as those that provide a rich student life that all place-based higher education institutions should offer. This multipurpose arena will enable us to host a wide range of student and academic events, as well as support our successful Division 1 hockey program. "
Bentley vice president of student affairs, Andrew Shephardson, added, "The arena will give an incredible boost to an already rich student life experience at Bentley. Key to that experience will be home games that really are at home. Being able to also offer a wider variety of events, lectures, and programs will make campus life even more exciting. Students have been a driving force behind this project and it is gratifying to see their commitment pay off."
Bentley Falcons
Bentley is one of only five Atlantic Conference Hockey teams to have won at least 50 games over the last three seasons and is tied for the fourth most conference wins over the same span. The Falcons have not only played at both Fenway Park and the Barclay Center in the last couple years but have posted victories in both venues. The team has also registered at least one win over a member of the elite Hockey East six conference teams over the last eight years.
Bob DeFelice, athletics director for Bentley says, "We are obviously very excited about building a new arena for our university. It will provide our Division 1 hockey program a much-needed state-of-the-art facility as their home, and provide a large enough space to host a wide variety of events for the student body, which has been missing from our campus. It's an important investment in the future of our school."
As a team and individually, the Falcons have been consistently rewriting the record book with coach Ryan Soderquist holding the all-time program wins record at 187 and counting. Soderquist, who was a player when Bentley made the move to Division I, is also the program's all-time leading scorer with 173 points. As scholar-athletes, the Falcons also excel in the classroom with the team posting a 3.45 grade point average during the 2015-16 academic year.
"I am grateful to the Board, our president, leadership team and the many others involved for all their hard work and commitment to this project. As the hockey coach, it is a dream come true for me and clearly demonstrates the commitment to and excitement around our evolving Division 1 hockey program. The new venue pays tribute to all who have played for Bentley, the current team, and it will help us attract talented student-athletes to one of the top universities in the country," says Soderquist.
LEED Certification
The multipurpose arena has been designed to the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Platinum Certification standards. The building is already setting a new standard for sustainable design of ice arenas. Sustainable features include a solar panel roof which will provide the building with 40% of its annual electricity needs; high efficiency LED lighting; and the most efficient water-saving bathroom fixtures on the market which help this building to use approximately 48% less water than similar buildings.
Additional sustainable features include:
- An outdoor plaza built with permeable pavers to reduce storm water runoff and encourage infiltration into the adjacent wetlands.
- Preferred parking spots for electric and fuel-efficient/low-emission vehicles.
- Public transportation access via the Bentley shuttle bus and MBTA buses.
- At least 20% of construction materials will include recycled content
- At least 20% of construction materials will be sourced locally (within 500 miles of Bentley)
- At least 50% of wood used in the building will be Forest Steward Council certified (sustainable forestry practices)
This will be the first LEED-certified building on Bentley's campus. Should the building receive LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, it will be the first LEED Platinum certified ice arena in the country.

• PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EXPLANATION as there is important information about the property you are considering. My Galveston Getaway manages multiple properties – condos, townhouses, duplexes and private homes.
• AirBnB collects the State of Texas hotel occupancy taxes (6%) but NOT the City taxes (9%) that we are required to collect, report and pay. After you reserve we will request your email address and you can pay these taxes either by providing us with a credit card or through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) – whichever you prefer. We hate this confusion as much as you do – trust us!
• We rent to responsible adults 25 years of age and older. That person must be present throughout the rental – please do not reserve a place for younger folks and think they'll act like responsible adults ---- they are younger folks, not responsible adults.
• After you book you will receive a message from us asking for your email address. AirBnB uses an email relay service and we prefer to send your confirmation more securely as it will contain a code with which to access the property you have rented.
• We send confirmations 2-3 days prior to arrival and it contains driving directions and check-in instructions. We welcome any and all questions at any time – but we won't give out this information further in advance.
• Smoking is permitted outside only, and with all doors closed to the property. Some of our properties are 100% non-smoking.
Our "cleaning" fee includes a damage waiver (we do not ask for a security deposit), use of bed sheets and bath towels (we don't ask you to transport your own or rent them from a linen service upon arrival) and starter supplies of toiletries, paper products and coffee.
• Some of our properties invite a canine family member to join the humans. Others do not. If you are bringing a dog it is your responsibility to ensure that you have selected a dog-friendly unit, and you will need to pay the $75.00 nonrefundable dog fee either by (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) or by credit card to the management company. If you rent a non-dog friendly property or do not pay the required fee, and bring a dog, we will refer you to a kennel on the island. Dogs are accepted on a case-by-case basis, should be kenneled inside the property when not accompanied by their humans, and not allowed atop the furniture at the property.
• Within a condo or homeowners' association – there are always rules to be followed. These will be provided to you at the complex – things like don't hang your towels on the rails, don't feed the birds, quiet hours, hours for the common grounds, etc. By reserving with us you agree to abide by all of those rules.
• Some of the properties at which we manage charge a parking/resort/amenity fee. Renter is responsible for purchasing and displaying parking permit per the rules of the Association in which the property sits.
• The Victorian Resort charges $20.00 for rentals 1-15 days and $40.00 per month. They accept cash or credit/debit cards. They do charge tax on their resort fees making it $21.65 for short stays and $43.30 for the monthly rate.
• The Maravilla Resort charges $20.00 for short term rentals and $20.00 per month for extended stays. They accept credit/debit cards and personal checks, but not cash.
• By the Sea charges $15.00 per vehicle and accepts credit/debit cards only.
• Casa del Mar requires renters to obtain and display parking permits, but as of this writing, they do not charge for their parking permits.
• None of the complexes allow for trailers of any kind, RV's, travel trailers, 5th wheels, boat trailers, jet-ski's, storage trailers or any other type of vehicle to park on property.
• Each motorcycle is considered a vehicle and will require a separate parking permit.
• Any vehicle that does not display an appropriate parking permit is subject to towing and neither the complex in which it is situated nor this management company will be responsible. Purchasing a parking permit does not guarantee parking availability – all parking is on a first-come/first-served basis.
In 2004 I purchased my first Seawall Condo with intent only to use it myself. Then I got the rental bug, and I was hooked. Since then I have purchased three of my own, and at the request of fellow condo owners, I obtained my real estate license (required by law in the State of Texas to manage property owned by others) and began My Galveston Getaway which now manages almost 30 of the Seawall's nicest condos. I specifically market Seawall Condos and plan to do just that until I have established an inventory of 50 condos. I don't want to dilute what I do - I want to be the best at what I do!

Zawacki Tobacki
This has been long in the making, but it's finally ready. I don't remember when I first bought tobacco seeds, but it was at least a year ago. I got the crazy idea that I could grow tobacco in a pot and someday, I could supplement my income with it. As you can see from the photo, it's not at supplement point yet, but for a first try, I would say this is a pretty good yield. I think this plant was a Wisconsin 951 Continue reading →

On April 22, 2015, Chief Judge Stark in the district of Delaware entered an order invalidating two patents under Section 101 and refusing to invalidate the third. In this case, Intellectual Ventures asserted three patents against Symantec and Trend Micro: U.S. Patent Nos. 6,460,050 (the "'050 patent"), 6,073,142 (the "'142 patent"), and 5,987,610 (the "'610 patent"). The court indicated that it would reserve its rulings on the Section 101 issues until after trial. Trial proceeded against Symantec, and the jury returned a verdict of infringement of the '142 and '610 patents and no infringement of the '050 patent. The Trend Micro case is set for trial on May 11.
The court noted that although patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is an issue of law, "there is no clarity at this time as to the standard of proof that must be applied to factual disputes that may be intertwined with the issue of eligibility of a particular patent or claim." Id. at 9. In fact, Districts have applied different standards in addressing patent-eligibility under § 101 – some have treated the issue solely as a question of law, while others have applied a clear and convincing evidentiary burden. See id. at 10-11. The court declined to resolve the dispute over the standard of proof required to invalidate a claim under § 101, but instead explained that the '050 and '142 patents are patent ineligible even assuming the court must apply a clear and convince standard.
Intellectual Ventures I LLC v. Symantec Corp., No. 10-1067-LPS, in the District of Delaware (Apr. 22, 2015)

When the Sports Corner on 500 Grant Street in De Pere closed it's doors it took with it one of the area's most beautiful places to catch a meal or drink or a sports game. The old building had been wonderfully restored and housed both a sports bar and a more upscale restaurant on the east side.
When Julie's Cafe bought the place in July of last year it may have raised a couple eyebrows. The cafe, which opened in November seemed to be in an odd place, so far from the traffic off Main Street. The building wasn't the most natural fit for the establishment, and it only took up half the available space. Rest assured, the missing piece of the puzzle in Julie's new venture is Brickhouse, Craft Burgers and Brew. And it fits quite well.
We sat down with Troy Metzler the man with the vision behind the restaurant. According to him, the Brickhouse had been in the works for two years before they opened February 1, 2015.
"It's just been figuring out the feel of the place," Troy said "an old place like this, an old gastropub-y type place. And then you get the right chef in and he really builds out that menu. I've been in restaurants since I was four, when my parents opened the first 'Julie's Cafe' in 1994. I never really left the business. I went to college, got an accounting degree and then came back and worked in the family business, and eventually into ownership."
The business, named after his mother who passed away eight years ago, is now a partnership between Troy and his father.
"This one is kinda' my baby," Troy said "Brickhouse has been my vision for a while. We really saw a need for a gourmet burger, or a different burger place with a craft beer complement to it. There's not a lot in Green Bay as far as the 'craft burger – craft beer' combination. We did a lot of research in Chicago because there are a lot of great burger and craft beer places there. And we really loved the concept, and we brought it here and made it our own."
While just next door 'Nicolet' does great breakfast business, 500 Grant Street was acquired with another purpose.
"You know, it's kind of what's old is new," Troy said. "The building is 103 years old, built in 1912. So we took the old building and made it new again. And that's what we did with the burgers, since burgers have been around forever, we took them and did some different things with them. Our burgers are made with locally-sourced meat. It's all local steer: from Ottawa to Luxemberg. Our buns are all baked fresh locally. And all of our cheeses are Wisconsin cheeses, as local as we can get them. But it's still so simple. It's beer and burgers."
Troy: All of our burgers are on brioche buns, so they have the heft to them to hold all of our toppings. The M.O. of our burgers is, kinda get-in-there and eat em, messy-style burger, you know. The burgers are two beef patties that are three ounces a piece, equaling around a third of a pound burger split between two patties.
We offer a burger of the month that our chef comes up with. The barbecue pulled pork was our number one selling burger of the month. It's basically one beef patty with pulled pork on it, and coleslaw.
The Baad Boy was also one of our burgers of the month. We really wanted to bring in another style of patty, with lamb, to give a little bit different feel. And again the Mac-N-Cheezy was also one of those [listed as one beef patty served with BBQ dipped house-made bacon, pan fried cheddar Mac-n-Cheese with lettuce and tomato].
You can also build-your own burger. You can go kinda crazy on this. You get one cheese and then you can do up to six toppings. We do a pork belly on it, which is amazing. I told you, we try to do everything in house. We literally make our bacon in house.
The Scene: Do you have a smokehouse in here?
Troy: We don't smoke it actually. It's a cured bacon. So we cure it for four days. We marinate it for another three days. Then we bake it off, marinate it another day and slice it. It really is unique, not like anything that you've ever had. That's going to be on a lot of different things.
We have out bacon cheeseburger, which seems traditional, but has our house made bacon and our chipotle mayo, which gives it a little bit of heat. We dip our bacon in barbecue sauce in our Mac-N-Cheezy. So taking our barbecue, which is our house made chipotle barbecue, we dip our house-made bacon in there and it goes into our Mac-N-Cheezy burger. And with our house made bacon we come and make our pork belly off of that as well. So we take some of our larger chunks off of that and make our pork belly, which also goes on some of our burgers. Build your own specifically.
The Scene: What can you tell us about the beer side of things?
Troy: There are four craft breweries in Green Bay right now. Titletown Brewing, Hinterland, Badger State Brewing, and Stillmank.
So, Badger State is near the Lambeau Field area, and Stillmank is on the east side of Green Bay. And we have a great relationships with them.
And then there's Ahnapee in Algoma, some from central Wisconsin, Three Sheeps in Sheboygan…
Beer has been around for a long time, but craft beer is just exploding. We just have a great staff that has a passion for draft beer as well. We try to have people understand, even at the basic level of what beer and flavors [match]. If someone is coming in for a certain kind of beer, our staff can direct them.
We have 20 tap handles and our beer lineup is always changing, which is fun for our customers. It goes along with the theme of our burgers always changing. Our burger of the month, grilled cheese, poutine, different beer. So it's always something different and new when you come in as a regular.
The Scene: I get the beer and the burgers, but where does the poutine come into this?
Troy: It's a Canadian dish. It's fries, fried cheese curds and gravy. We take our cheese curds: we break them apart. Our smaller curds go into a poutine. We have a classic poutine and then a poutine of the month. We've done everything from a pulled pork poutine to a breakfast poutine with sausage and bacon in sausage gravy.
And then we brought that through to our desserts. We do a fried Kit Kat. A chocolate-caramel marshmallow ganache, which is the gravy, the fried Kit Kats, and a seasonal fruit.
The Scene: So It's definitely a comfort food.
Troy: That's exactly what it is. We brought it to the forefront. You know there are only a few places right now in Green Bay that serve poutine, and we were one of the first. It's a growing item.
The Scene: You've been open since spring, have you made any menu changes?
Troy: This is our second menu now. We expanded on the burgers side of things. That's what we are really and truly focusing on. We hang our hat on our burgers.
We also have our grilled cheese of the month. We do something different every month with that and then we have our seasonal vegetable. We try to get those healthy options. We really do try to accommodate the health, the gluten free. All of our burgers can be subbed with chicken, portobello or turkey-burger.
All of our sauces are in-house. Our chef really works that angle well. All of our burgers come with fries, but the 'upgrading shareables' here are pretty unique, whether it's our white truffle fries, which you just don't find around here. They're pretty popular in Chicago with a lot of burger joints. Or our garlic parm fries, which are amazing.
Chef David's November Specials
Burger: Five Peppercorn
Chef David: We're doing a five peppercorn burger where we bring in peppercorns from around the world, and make our own blend.
The Scene: What differentiates the standard peppercorn from the specialized options?
David: What you find in a grocery store is a variation from India where they call it tellicherry. That's the black peppercorn that most people are used to seeing. Every peppercorn has a little bit different flavor. But the top 20 percent of the tellicherry's are actually left on the vine longer. Not as spicy, they have a stronger woody flavor. But other peppercorns, depending on where they are in the region, have significantly either more woody, more fruity, or more spicy flavor. And we're going to make our own blend with those five different kinds of environments. Where it's going to have… in our case it will be a little bit more mild, with a much stronger woody and fruit flavor.
The Scene: Could you go a bit deeper into what you mean by fruity?
David: When you eat pineapple and you get that little bit of spice to it, that just hint of acid that is hard to distinguish. That's what I'm talking about. You'll get that same sort of fruity nature out of that. If you were to eat a grape, that same sort of fruity nature comes out of it too. It will have that same type of tannin type nature. Which is why a lot of times people pair pepper with wines, because of that tannin natural mixture.
Poutine: Moule's and Frites
David: It's going to be moule's and frites. Which is mussels and frites, which is just another word for fries. And we're going to be doing that with a roasted poblano sauce, as a dipping sauce for the mussels and frites. Poblanos are a large pepper, a little more mild than a habanero or a jalapeno. Jalapeno's have more of that coriander/cumin flavor to them. Poblanos tend to be a little bit sweeter and a little bit more on the pepper flavor than that kind of coriander/cumin. I think when you eat a habanero or a jalapeno most people don't pick that up, but if you really stop and you ate some coriander and cumin and tried a jalepeno you'd say, yeah I get that. If you eat a poblano, a poblano has a milder pepper flavor. So we're going to roast it and we'll puree it with a little bit of garlic, some dark chili powder, some honey and probably a little bit of lemon.
The Packer Backer Special was a tower of savory goodness that came with a choice of 3 beers and a half order of Brickhouse's fried cheese curds. The burger was massive, containing 3 beef patties, one brat patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, Swiss, Gouda, Cheddar and Muenster. If you seek to tackle this particular challenge you'd best come hungry, or be prepared to take home some leftovers. The result was delicious, combining heaped cheese and meats with masterfully caramelized onions, and Brickhouse's house-made bacon, so good it was hard not to pull it out and eat it separately. The side of hand battered cheese curds tasted more like a pastry than fair food, and were well complemented by the tangy cream and tomato marinara.
The heat was somewhat intimidating, with a layer of sriracha aioli and jalapeno poppers, but the meat and carbs on display did nicely to dampen the heat to a pleasurable dull roar. The fries that were served with it are perhaps best described as the platonic ideal of that powdered cheese seasoning you see on things everywhere. This was the real stuff, and the white goodness sprinkled over the top of these made dipping them in the cheese curd's marinara sauce that much better. The burgers were served with Badger State Brewing Company's On Wisconsin Red Ale. The 22 IBU the bartender pegged it at might have typically been a bit on the bitter side for a wussy malt fiend like me, but they calculated well. It was excellent with the two burgers.

MS 2816 (4ap) - Some Readings in James
Expand Messages
- Codex 2816, previously known as 4ap, is one of the MSS that was consulted by Erasmus when he prepared the TR. It contains the General Epistles, not just Acts and the Pauline Epistles. It has been assigned a production-date in the 1400's. It is still at Basel. It can be viewed at the VMR.
Since I'm working on a project involving the book of James, I thought I'd sift through 2816 to see if it has any unusual readings. For the most part, it has the Byzantine Text. But, besides that, there were some things that might be text-critically interesting. (Those who want to see the beginning of James in 2816 at the VMR should turn there to Image #5080-0.)
1:12 - QS instead of KS.
2:3 ESQHTA is missing in the text but there is a colon after FOROUNTA, and another colon accompanies ESQHTA written above the line. What happened: the copyist accidentally skipped from THN to THN. The corrector noticed the mistake but added only ESQHTA in his correction, not THN ESQHTA. (Correcting from memory, perhaps??)
2:5 BASILEIAS is written, not as a nomina sacra, but not altogether normally either. (Although considering how profusely the copyist of 2816 used abbreviations, this might have been normal for him.) It is written as BASIAS, with L suspended above the middle two letters.
2:11 The copyist accidentally repeated MH MOIXEUSEIS, yielding a sentence that said the equivalent of, "For he who said, `Do not commit adultery' also said, `Do not commit adultery.'" The mistake was partly corrected when FO was written over MOI but this made the word difficult to read, so FONEUSEIS was added in the left margin next to the line.
2:13 reads ELEOS (not ELEON)
2:24 last word looks like MONHS instead of MONON (??)
3:18 does not have THS
4:7 does not have DE before TW
4:12 does not have O before NOMOQETHS
4:12 has KAI KRITHS after NOMOQETHS
4:14 has ESTAI (agreeing with Byz)
4:15 After ZHSWMEN, the words KAI POIHSWMEN are missing (h.a./h.t), and there is no correction
5:4 SABAWQ is written in the margin, right next to KU; it looks like the copyist initially omitted SABAWQ after writing KU at the end of the line
5:7 the nomina sacra that should be KU appears to be corrected, as if the copyist initially wrote CU and then heavily placed K over the C.
5:7 A notable example of the abbreviations that appear throughout the MS: AUTON is abbreviated: au (at the end of a line) and T with superscripted \\ (at the beginning of the next line); earlier in the same verse the WN at the end of MAKROQUMWN is abbreviated the same way, and farther along in the same verse, the ON in UETON is abbreviated the same way.
5:8 HMWN appears between KU and ANGIKEN (agreeing with 614, 1505, et al)
5:10 clearly has TO instead of TW before ONOMATI
5:11 OIDATE (agreeing with 1729) instead of IDETE or EIDETE
5:19 in the text, EN UMIN is missing, but there are lozenge-dots; lozenge-dots also appear in the right-hand margin beside the line and EN UMIN is written there.
Hmm. James 4:12 looks like a sort of intersection, or overlap, or collision-point, of transmission-lines. That HMWN in 5:8 is also interesting; it has an interesting array of support.
Yours in Christ,
James Snapp, Jr.

Creating an Open Culture of Gratitude*
The executive leaders of businesses are not just strategic decision-makers and systems managers, but the creators of culture. This culture is the human dimension of their organization. It is how people interact, communicate, collaborate and operate ethically.
There are some aspects of a healthy culture that transcend time and place, industry and organizational purpose. One of those marks is openness.
Two questions drive this interest for me.
What is an open culture?
How can the practice of gratitude contribute to it?
Think of a culture of a business as being the product of the ideas and relationships of people connected to it.
A culture has distinguishing characteristics, activities, branded products and services. and specific processes that represent that culture. It is also the connecting ideas of purpose or mission, values, vision and impact that are given life by the people within the culture. A culture is what binds people together as a group, a movement or an organization, and provides them a way to interact and support what matters to them collectively.
Cultures can be open or closed, healthy or dysfunctional, unified or confused, sustainable or dying.
The key to creating a healthy, sustainable culture is openness.
The Marks of an Open Culture
In an open culture there are low barriers to contributing.
A new person can join, and immediately make an impact. There is no process of jumping through hoops to determine whether you are worthy of contributing. I see this particularly in social organizations, whether a club or religious congregation. In an open culture, people join and start participating and contributing right away. Their contribution is valued and recognized.
Another characteristic of an open organizational culture is a high incidence of personal initiative being taken by members. In my mind, initiative is the beginning of all leadership. Without initiative, there is no leadership, only passive followership.
In a closed culture, the initiative is reserved for the authority figures. They decide what the group does and doesn't do. This high control environment means that personal initiative is resisted and those who may be more independent, creative and innovative in their attitudes and behaviors are discouraged or punished for being so. In an open culture, people recognize that they have the opportunity and responsibility to create new and better ways of realizing the impact of their organization. So, they take personal initiative to make difference that matters.
A third mark is that openness creates a higher level of adaptability. In a closed culture, the mindset becomes defensive and resistant to change. The assumption is that a culture is fixed in time, and remains the same over time. Rather, what is fixed are the values that drive the culture. The expression of those values can change over time. But the values don't.
Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in their book, Built To Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, make the distinction between core values and cultural practices.
"Core Values are the organization's essential and enduring tenets – a small set of timeless guiding principles that require no external justification."
Cultural practices, in their model, are those practices that have replaced the core values as the drivers of the company. These practices have lost their connection to the core values with the result that the company becomes closed to opportunities through change.
In an open culture, values matter.
Your mission or purpose can change. Your vision can change. Your understanding of the impact that you want to have can change. They can because you are adapting to changes that are occurring simultaneously throughout the landscape of your business. What guides you through change are your values.
In an open culture, people find a culture where there are low barriers to contributing, their personal initiative to make a difference that matters is welcomed, and the company adapts more easily to change by being rooted in its values.
The challenge to creating an open culture is implementation. It is one thing to have well defined connecting ideas. It is another thing to know how to act upon them within the structure of the organization.
What I've discovered is that the practice of gratitude, as characterized in Say Thanks Every Day: The Five Actions of Gratitude, is a set of strategic practices that support an open culture.
The Five Actions of Gratitude as Openness Strategy
Each of the five actions is an outreach of openness to others. It is not protective, defensive, exclusionary or elitist. It is open, grateful, giving, welcoming, respectful and creative.
To Say Thanks is appreciate the actions and impact of another person.
It is recognizing another person or group's contribution to your life and work. It is also a type of self-awareness that sees the beneficial place of others in our life
To Give Back is to recognize that I want to give back in service to persons, groups or communities some measure of the goodness that I've received from them.
This is not a payback of a debt owed, except as a debt of gratitude. It is an act of thankful contribution.
Imagine if this was the culture of your office right now. What would it would it look like. Maybe, what you'd see is a higher level of not just contribution, but sharing of work and responsibilities so that it gets done, and done well.
To Make Welcome is to create an open environment for people to take initiative to contribute.
With openness comes personal responsibility to make the workplace a better place to work, to innovate ways to better serve customers, and to resolve problems and issues before the grow into a crisis.
This is the key action for creating an open culture. It requires a specific kind of leadership that permits others to lead along side one another. It is a culture of shared responsibility and opportunity.
To Honor Others is to treat people with dignity, respect and kindness.
These are values that characterize the best of relationships. The are the basis for a culture of gratitude and trust.
The reality for most businesses is that these are rarely evident with any degree of strength. Why is it so? My guess is that these practices require effort and commitment. They do not easily translate to a company's bottom-line. They are not typically the qualifications for executive leadership. These values only create efficiency when the culture has reached a level of maturity. As noted above, it is this culture that produces the adaptability that is so essential for sustainable growth in the current business environment.
To Create Goodness is the outcome of an open culture that invites personal initiative to make a difference that matters.
Creativity is born in the initiative of a person. It rises from their values, their sense of purpose, the questions that lead them to explore new ways of doing the things and finally to make a difference that matters.
Goodness is the impact of an open culture. As the ancient Greeks understood goodness, it is a way to understand the fulfillment of purpose. It is way to understand wholeness, completeness, integrity and success. It is the fulfillment of the potential that resides in each of the connecting ideas. It is that intangible quality that brands the experience that people within a company's culture comes to measure the organization by. It is the product of personal initiative, which flourishes within an open culture.
Creating an Open Culture of Gratitude
These practices are not just good ideas, which they are, not just good things to do, which they are, but more importantly a systemic strategy for the effective functioning of every organization. In order for a system of gratitude to be developed, the system that currently exists must be changed or replaced. It may be a small change or a large one, but turning your organization into an open culture of gratitude creates an environment of shared leadership that attracts the best talent to join you.
Leading in an Open Culture of Gratitude
I hear from people that gratitude is this sweet, grandmotherly sentiment that has little relevance to leading organizations. Obviously, they didn't know my grandmother. Instead, to practice gratitude as I've outlined here requires personal maturity, inner confidence, and a willingness to trust. Instead of it being trite, it is the most transformative, courageous thing an executive leader can do.
To transform an organization's culture from a closed one to an open one is dependent on the person at the top changing. It is a simple change, but a very difficult one. It is difficult because it is not tactical, but personal.
In order for an open culture of gratitude to grow, you have to decide that you are not the go-to-guy for everything, that you can't make every decision, resolve every issue, be the king or queen on the throne, and be the one who dictates the course of your business. You can't even be the expert at creating an open culture of gratitude. You have to realize that you are a facilitator of talent, and that the value of that talent is only realized fully when each person is free to exercise their personal initiative for the greater good of the customer, other employees, the business and the community.
This is a change of mindset, of attitude and behavior. This is the supreme test of the character of the leader. Can you let go and let you people lead? If you can, then you can create an open culture of gratitude. If not, then you will be following those who can do it.
Openness is the key, and gratitude is the strategy that elevates openness to a practical, functional level.
Be grateful, giving, welcoming, honoring and creative and you'll find new depth of impact emerging from the parts of your organization that have never produced to their potential. It all starts by being open and grateful.

HUA Diploma Program in Gītā Studies
Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā is considered to be the key scripture in Hindu tradition at a status equivalent to that of the Bible for Christianity and the Koran for Islam. For centuries, millions of Hindus have found solace and comfort in the words of wisdom in Gītā's verses. The first translation of Gītā in the English language appeared in 1785 and that publication has been recognized as one of the "striking events in the universal history of philosophy." Today the Gītā is considered by Eastern and Western scholars alike to be among the greatest spiritual texts the world has ever known. In the words of Aldous Huxley, "Bhagavad Gītā is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value… to all of humanity." According to Albert Einstein, "When I read the Bhagavad Gītā and reflect on how God created this Universe, everything else seems so superfluous." Undoubtedly understanding of the message of Gītā is a must for every scholar of Hinduism.
This Diploma Program in Gītā Studies is designed to help students to learn the essence of Gītā to a level needed to adapt the teaching of Gītā to one's own situation and communicate the message to others.

�Transforming organizations from the inside out.
Has your organization achieved the kind of productivity and success it could? Many organizations spend a lot of time and money trying to understand why morale, satisfaction, engagement, and productivity are not higher. They chase solutions and programs that end up feeding an entitlement mentality, with little appreciable increase to the bottom line. Open Door creates solutions designed to transform organizations from workplaces that have become the bastion of entitled employees who go to work and do their job, into thriving organizations where team members think like owners. That means they get the mission, see the vision, live the values, and care passionately about the success and profits of the organization they are part of.

NPR, August 31, 2011
Expensive technologies like proton beam therapy and hot chemo baths are among the reasons America's health care spending is rising at an unsustainable clip and making the federal deficit so hard to tame. But two of the nation's top healthcare economists are expressing doubts that accountable care organizations -- one of Obama administration's most-hyped mechanisms to save money -- will be able to overcome the medical system's lust for the new new thing. Established through last year's health law, ACOs are networks of doctors and hospitals that would collaborate to provide quality care at lower cost, with the motivation of keeping a share of the savings they deliver to Medicare and private insurers.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — Caltrans seems to think the Bay Bridge isn't spectacular enough, and the new eastern span is already getting a makeover as crews are installing thousands of lights to illuminate the span.

I just put cm9 on my wife's NC and its pretty laggy To say say the least. This rom looks pretty impressive any body try the latest build how is the performance/stability.? I will be installing it on internal not SD card. She really llike cm9 but wants Netflix and YouTube.
