Mr. Peter Zohdi of Herbert Associates, representing the applicant, presented the revised plan to the Board. He informed that the B= oard had previously reviewed and taken jurisdiction on the plan. He said since the last meeting the= plan had been through review. He s= aid he visited the site with Stantec (fka Dufresne-Henry) and the Planning Directo= r; a report had been received from Stantec and the plan had been revised; however Stantec had not yet done a second review.&= nbsp; In general he said plan needed to be cleaned up; the major item to be discussed was sight distance. Mr. Zohdi said they needed 445ft. sight distance (per the regulations), but the maximum they could get was 405ft. He explained with a 30mph speed limit they complied, but could not design for 10mph higher. He s= aid some clearing/cleaning needed to be done in the Town right-of-way for the stopping sight distance. He a= sked that the Board consider granting a conditional approval subject to final re= view of the plan. He said the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services had been to the site and approved the plan.
Mr. McNamara asked if Mr.=
agreed with the items contained in the letter dated
Mr. Gowan said he met wit= h Mr. Mike Gospodarek of Herbert Associates and reviewed the letter from Stantec = and noted there was no disagreement except for the sight distance issue. He said there were two items requi= ring Fire Department sign off; 1) proposed cistern location, and 2) Item #7 of Stantec letter - pavement radius of temporary cul-de-sac.
Mr. Scanzani asked what w=
have to happen to
Mr. Scanzani said he didn=
have a problem with the cul-de-sac (if the Fire Chief didn't) because=
would be temporary. He was
concerned with the road profile and the sight distance because
Ms. Bousa didn't ha=
ve a
problem with the sight distance. She
didn't believe it was the type of road that vehicles could get high
speeds. She said Mr. Zohdi was
referring to intersection sight distance (looking East or West onto
Ms. Bousa questioned the = note indicating that clearing would be done (stone wall, trees & shrubs) and didn't want the rural aesthetics of the area to be taken away. Mr. Gowan said while walking the s= ite he viewed low lying vegetation; any moving of the stone wall would be maintained. Mr. Zohdi said the stone wall would be rebuilt. =
Ms. Bousa said she didn= 8217;t have any big issues; the plan met AASTO and felt the additional measures in= the Town's regulations were more for high speed traffic roads.
Mr. McNamara saw that sto= ne walls traversed the property. Mr. Z= ohdi said they didn't propose to move any walls except where the road crossed. Page 2 showed much o= f the stone wall. Mr. McNamara aske= d if more specific language be added regarding the stone wall. Mr. Zohdi said he could draft lang= uage and show it to the Planning Director. Mr. Gowan said there were stone walls on some of the lots, but was s= ure that every effort would be made to maintain those that could be saved and w= ere along the traverse roadway. M= r. Zohdi reviewed the plan and indicated that language could be added to the p= lan that stated if a stone wall was damaged it would have to be rebuilt for the character of the area.
Mr. Culbert believed the = plans were going to come in with the roads not named. Mr. Zohdi said they provided three= road names for the Town to choose; the name on the plan was preferred by the client. Mr. Gowan said the Hi= ghway Safety Committee reviewed the road names; in this case the chosen name was Goldfinch.
Mr. Scanzani said the last Stantec letter had a few items to be worked out and the Board would expect those items to be met as part of the approval process. Mr. Zohdi said he didn't hav= e any objection to the comments made and would meet with the Fire Chief regarding cistern placement. He said pr= ior to the plan being signed he was sure that the Planning Director would review a= nd there would be a letter from Stantec that the plan met their comments.
(McNamara/Culbert)To ac= cept, for consideration, the waiver for sight distance (as submitted during the meeting).
(6-0-= 0) The motion carried.
Mr. Zohdi asked if he cou= ld submit a waiver for the two meeting requirement for approving waivers. Mr. Gowan asked that Mr. Dick Hert= rich of Stantec be allowed to speak regarding the plan. Mr. Hertrich said there were a few technical issues; the larger issue was sight distance and if the Board would accept it. He agreed with Ms.= Bousa that stopping sight distance was available. He believed the details could be w= orked out in a conditional approval.
Mr. Culbert made a motion= to waive the two meeting rule for the one waiver. Mr. McNamara seconded for discussion. He said he would = vote no. Ms. Bousa questioned if t= he Board had waived the requirement in the past. There was further discussion by the Board. Ms. Ouellette question= ed if the Special Permits had been acted upon; the file contained the written request. Mr. Zohdi believed w= hen the Board took jurisdiction on the plan the Board also took jurisdiction on= the Special Permit because they were part of the plan.
Mr. Gowan said since he h= ad been Planning Director, the Board hadn't voted to waive the provision, they had simply accepted waivers without the formality of having a separate vote= for waiving the waiver.
There was discussion as t= o if a motion was needed to waive the requirement of two meetings for the sight distance waiver. Mr. Scanzani= said the question was if the Board wanted to waive the requirements for two meet= ings; if no, the next motion would be if the Board wanted to approve the waiver in one meeting.
(Culbert/McNamara) To w= aive the two meeting rule for the one waiver (for sight distance).
(0-6-= 0) The motion carried.
Mr. Scanzani said the Boa= rd had accepted the waiver and asked the Board if they wanted to now approve the waiver. Mr. Culbert made a mo= tion to approve the waiver.
There was no public input= .
Mr. Culbert reiterated hi= s motion to approve the waiver. Ms. Ouellette said the Board decided not to accept the waiver to waive the requ= ired two meetings. Mr. Culbert sai= d he was making a motion to approve the waiver to the sight distance. Mr. Gowan clarified that the Board= usually didn't accept a (physical) waiver (to waive the two meeting requireme= nt) and it didn't prevent the Board from accepting the one waiver (straig= ht forward) as opposed to waiving the requirements. Mr. Scanzani said the Board didn= 8217;t agree to accept the (physical) waiver that Mr. Zohdi was presenting and now needed to vote whether or not to accept the sight distance waiver.
Mr. McNamara seconded (for discussion) Mr. Culbert's motion to approve the waiver for sight distance. He questioned why t= here was a regulation if the Board was going to continue to ignore it.
(Culbert/McNamara)To ap= prove the waiver for the sight distance.
There was clarification r= egarding the previous motion in connection with waiving the two meeting rule. Mr. Scanzani explained that the Bo= ard, by voting no, had decided to go with the Board's past practice and not require an applicant to hand a piece of paper to waiver a waiver.
(McNamara/Culbert) To a= pprove the waiver to Section 11.04,c,1 – building envelope (35,000SF build= ing envelope for lot 3-102-43 & 44).
(6-0-= 0) The motion carried. = u>
(McNamara/Culbert) To a= pprove the waiver to Section 11.11,b,2 – to allow the well radius for lots 3-102, 3-102-1, 42,45 & 46 to be located within the 15-foot building setback.
(6-0-= 0) The motion carried. = u>
Mr. Scanzani confirmed th= at the well radiuses would not exceed the lot lines. Mr. Zohdi answered yes.
The next motion was made = by Mr. McNamara, seconded by Mr. Culbert and a friendly amendment was made by Mr. Scanzani (and acceptable by both Mr. McNamara and Mr. Culbert) to make the cul-de-sac radius subject to approval by the Fire Chief.
(McNamara/Culbert) To a= pprove the waiver to Appendix I, bb, 11,b & c (outside edge of pavement 63-f= eet / inside 39-feet); bb, 12 (minimum tangent length); bb, 13 (minimum horizontal curve 200-feet); dd (requirement for cross-sections). Radiuses of cul-de-sac are subje= ct to the approval of the Fire Chief and the ability to turn-around a fire truck.

Map 32 Lot 1-146, 148 & 149= Manoukian – Spalding Hill Road – Conceptual Plan for Discussion of Proposed 23-Lot Subdivision
Mr. Scanzani informed tha= t the following plan had been submitted as a conceptual plan and would be discuss= ed as such.
Ms. Ouellette read the list of abutters aloud. There were no persons present who did not have their name read, or who had a problem with notification. The f= ile contained three abutter notification envelopes that had been returned as 'unclaimed'.
Mr. Culbert questioned wh= y the plan was so detailed for conceptual review. Mr. Gowan said an applicant could = take a plan where they wanted at a conceptual level.
Mr. Peter Zohdi of Herbert
Associates presented the conceptual plan to the Board. He said he had met with the Planni=
Director and the Highway Road Agent on site and it was discussed to go befo=
the Board and have a public discussion prior to completing the minor detail=
s on
the plan. He said he was read=
y to
submit the plan. Mr. Zohdi
explained that the plan was a subdivision of two parcels of land (one owned=
Mr. Manoukian the other owned by Montbleu). He said Mr. Monbleu's existi=
house was not conforming with the lot line and with the subdivision it would
become conforming. Mr. Zohdi =
the proposal was for a road to come from
Mr. Zohdi said they had w= orked with an engineer regarding wells located in the center of the loop and asked that the Board accept his testimonial.&nbs= p;
Mr. Bruce Lewis of Lewis
Engineering discussed his credentials.&nbs=
He said he was asked to work with Mr. Zohdi on the site to locate
quantities of water. He said
Pennichuck Water had been contacted and had indicated an interest in owning=
operating this water system. =
said to date, they have located and drilled wells (using a hydro geological
firm); two water supply wells were located on the northerly end of the
turn-around. The location was
reviewed and approved by the Department of Environmental Services – W=
Supply Engineering Bureau; two test wells were drilled and pump tested in
accordance with water supply engineering criteria. They were able to find a water sup=
equivalent to 40-gallons per minute between the two wells. Mr. Lewis felt t=
was more than enough water available for the proposed 23-lot subdivision.
He noted that the wells fell under=
Safe Drinking Water Act (through the EPA).=
Mr. Scanzani asked what t= he chances were for the wells/pump houses to supply any future development or people with wells already in the area.&nbs= p; Mr. Lewis said there would be a maximum number of homes that could be supplied based on the 40-gallons per minute; there would be some opportunity.
Mr. McNamara asked what a= ffect the well operation would have on the abutting properties. Mr. Lewis said based on the testin= g, there would be no adverse affects. He said in this case the state required a minimum of a 48-hour conti= nuous pump test; however, in this case, the pump test was extended for an additio= nal 24-hours, nearby wells were monitored with no ill effects. Mr. McNamara asked how far down the wells were drilled. Mr. Lewis= said one well (close to the pump house) was drilled down to 518 feet and the oth= er (behind the pump house) was 620 feet.
Mr. Gowan asked if the we= lls would service the drinking water and the hydrants. Mr. Lewis said it had not been discussed; but it was possible.
Ms. Bousa asked when the =
testing was done. Mr. Lewis s=
the testing was done between
Mr. Domenico asked what t= he water use of 25,000 gallons per day was based on. Mr. Lewis said it was a year-round average. Mr. Domenico asked h= ow the number would change if everyone had in-ground irrigations systems. Mr. Lewis said the number could double. Mr. Domenico asked if= there were any long-term concerns about sustaining a higher level of usage than t= he 25,000 gallons. Mr. Lewis sai= d it would be limited to the overall water use.= Mr. Domenico asked if the Board could request a note to the plan indicating that any in-ground irrigation systems be supplied through additi= onal private wells and not through from the central community well. Mr. Scanzani said there was nothin= g that said the Board couldn't request such. Mr. Lewis said Pennichuck Water Co= mpany may make that request.
Mr. Scanzani asked what t=
chances were for the system to be linked up to the system on
Mr. Zohdi circulated rend= itions of the type of homes that would be built within the subdivision.
Mr. Gowan said there had = been some discussion regarding unusual amenities and asked Mr. Zohdi to elaborate regarding such. Mr. Zohdi sai= d when he met with Mr. Gowan and Mr. Manoukian there had been a discussion of poss= ibly adding curbing and a (grassed) sidewalk.&n= bsp;
Mr. McNamara asked if the conceptual drawings were for one home.&nbs= p; Mr. Zohdi said they were four samples running approximately 7000SF-8000SF. Mr. McNamara a= sked if there was any provision for open space.= Mr. Zohdi said there was plenty of room and they would be glad to li= sten to the Board. Mr. McNamara as= ked if any waivers would be requested. Mr. Zohdi said he would have to work with the Town's engineers. He said he was trying to comply wi= th the regulations. Mr. McNamara ask= ed what the length was from the proposed connection road to the center of the loop. Mr. Zohdi said approxim= ately 1900feet.
Mr. Gowan asked if the dr= awing showed the existing conditions of the site or what was proposed. Mr. Zohdi said the rendition was representative of what was there. = span>
Mr. Scanzani said an abut= ter, Mr. John Caradonna of Marie Avenue, had submitted a four-page letter (dated Apr= il 20, 2006 that he requested be read into the record. Mr. Scanzani felt a lot of the iss= ues would be taken care of during engineering review (e.g. ledge, well location= s, steepness of slopes).
Mr. McNamara asked what M=
r. Zohdi
wanted clarified. Mr. Zohdi s=
aid he
wanted to know how the Board felt about the subdivision. He also wanted the Selectmen
Representative to know that they would visit the Selectmen regarding the
Spaulding Hill Road
improvements. He said when he=
back before the Board they would have landscaping specifics for review. Mr. Scanzani said the Board would =
the engineer to review the water situation and how much water could be
Mr. James Fischer, 19 Sce= nic View Drive circulated a handout to the Board (dated April 17, 2006) that contain= ed photographs of the lot line between his parcel and the lot line of the proposed. He began by discuss= ing his concern regarding the water erosion that came off the hill toward his parcel. He said it had the potential to come off the hill and erode his property. He discussed problems he had in th= e past with tree clearing and the erosion because of such. He asked that the Board consider h= aving a 75ft. no-cut zone between his property and the applicant's property= to prevent erosion onto his land. He rev= iewed some of the photographs submitted to the Board and noted that his gahnite p= ool had collapsed due to previous tree cutting, drainage and erosion. He noted the concern with the lack= of drinking water in the area. H= e said during the summer months his well sometimes ran dry.
Mr. Mike Soby,
Mr. Chris O'Connor,=
Mr. Fischer asked that the hydrological study be included in the recordable plan. Mr. Scanzani said the Board had a 42-page study that the Board wouldn't review until their engineer had= a chance to review.
Mr. Zohdi said there was =
existing problem on
Mr. Scanzani said the Boa= rd may want to see some buffers to slow the water coming off the hill. Mr. Zohdi said the Board could wal= k the site.
Ms. Ouellette said the te= stimony from abutters was that the water shortage came in the summer months. She asked if the 40-hour pump test= could be repeated during the summer months. Mr. Zohdi said he wanted to speak to their professional and report b= ack to the Board.
Mr. Scanzani said the Boa=
understood the issues with ledge, but felt there had to be a way to catch (=
direct) the surface water to go back into the ground water and re-charge.
Mr. Zohdi said he wanted the Board=
walk the site.
Mr. Domenico asked if the
connection from Sherburne would be reviewed, or just the connection from
Spaulding Hill and Marie. Mr.=
said during the year there had been a few subdivisions, and each time a por=
of the road had been widened/repaired.&nbs=
He said they would review this and report back to the Board. Mr. Domenico asked if

* Refurbishing the Georgian and Victorian Prison buildings
* Restoring the Castle walls, Lucy Tower, Observatory Tower, Cobb Hall and Bath House
* Creating a complete wall walk that will enable visitors to walk all the way around the walls and enjoy spectacular views over the City
* Installing state of the art interpretation that will chart the history of the Castle and Prison through film, audio, digital interactives and panels
* Constructing an underground vault in which to display Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest, the only place in the World where they can be seen together
* Creating a cinema in the round that will screen films about Magna Carta
* Refurbishing the front range of the Prison and creating a new shop and café
* Installing a lift to the walls that will enable disabled visitors to access the wall walk

A Snapshot Of The Key
- Perdido Key is located in the Northwest Panhandle of Florida, between Pensacola, Florida and Orange Beach, Alabama.
- No more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, Perdido Key beaches stretch some 16 miles, with almost 60 percent of it located in federal or state parks - making it one of the last remaining unblemished stretches of wilderness in the Florida Panhandle.
- Perdido Key's literal translation means "Lost Key," so named by the early Spanish who discovered it in 1693. Until then, the Key was the well-kept secret of gulf coast Native Americans - Perdido Key's first inhabitants.
- Bridges link Perdido Key to the Florida mainland, as well as neighboring Alabama. Those who make the short drive across the water will agree that this "Lost" island is definitely worth discovering.
- With an average temperature of 75 degrees and 343 days of sunshine, It's not surprising the key is a long-hidden retreat that blends together both year-round outdoor activities and an authentic laid-back lifestyle uniquely its own.

Manual Test Step
The Manual TestStep is used when we want manual user interaction inside the test. Some examples:
1. Start up devices like cellphones (manual step)
2. press some button on device or perform action on website (manual step)
3. make some HTTP/SOAP/REST call (soapui step)
4. Check database / logs for manual action verification (soapUI test step)
In soapUI we have a Manual test step that provide abillity for user interaction in testing;
Manual test step details/behavior:
User can specify a description, expected results, actual result.
When the test case execution reaches a Manual test step, the user is prompted with a pop up.
The user can add details to actual results, and specify pass/fail/N/A radio button for the test step status.
User click on continue, soapui goes to next step.
These tests cases which have manual test steps, are skipped when launching via testrunner since no way to interact with pop ups.

Banding Young Peregrine Falcons. DEC Wildlife staff, Bonnie Parton and Mike Allen, recently banded a healthy brood of four peregrine eyasses (chicks), two females and two males, at the State Tower Building in Syracuse, NY. This is the seventh year that the same adult pair has produced eyasses in this location. Bands were attached to each of the eyasses, a silver band indicative of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was attached to one leg, and fastened to the other leg was a black and green band that identifies the bird from the eastern region of the U.S. Additionally, each band has a unique number that helps to differentiate individual peregrine falcons. The banding procedure was done swiftly in about an hour's time in order to mitigate the stress on the chicks, and they were safely returned to their nest box with their parents. In two more weeks the eyasses will start to fly, initiating their coming of age and movement into the next stage of their lives. Visit the Why Band Young Peregrine Falcons web page for more information, and learn about the various stages of Growth and Development of Peregrine Falcon Chicks on the DEC website.
Did You Know...?
American eels in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River are exclusively females? They take 20 years or more to reach sexual maturity when they begin their long journey to the Sargasso Sea of the Atlantic Ocean to spawn once and die.

Whyte's new cyclo-cross bikes
Su Kear | Blog, Features, Fuel, What Mountain Bike | 21/02/2011 10:22am
Steve Worland takes a look at the new generation all-rounders with MTB-influenced geometry set to take the Whyte brand into new territories.
Long before the UCI decided that it was fine to run disc brakes on cyclo-cross bikes, but still not fine to run tyres wider than 33mm, the majority of riders and bike designers had already stopped listening to the rules and started to revel in the all-rounder efficiency of 'cross bikes intended for mere mortals, rather than for the rule-book-bound pro racers.
A few years back, designs started to move in a new direction, away from pure race geometry towards something encompassing the have-a-go-at-anything potential that 'cross bikes had always hinted at but never quite achieved. Disc brakes appeared, replacing cantilever judder, scarily inefficient slowing power in the wet and fast wearing rims with smooth, powerful well-modulated control in even the worst conditions. Bottle bosses, rack mounts and room for bigger profile tyres released maximum all-terrain cruising potential. Geometry started to become more relaxed. In short, cyclo-cross bikes were finally being built to appeal to anyone who wasn't quite sure what sort of bike they wanted. They had the potential to encompass aspects of the best of everything.
Whyte is a UK brand, run by the importers and frequent design instigators of California-based Marin Bikes. Designer Ian Alexander is Cotswolds based. He took the design helm when Jon Whyte moved to Canada a few years ago. Ian comes principally from a mountain bike background, but his fresh approach to design is starting to reap rewards as the brand moves into new areas. We joined him for a ride around Bristol's woodland lanes and trail network aboard prototypes of Whyte's new cyclo-cross bikes, not officially available until later in the year.
First impressions of the Whyte CX geometry is that it's unusual to the point of initially disconcerting… at least if you're used to expecting near road-bike-like geometry on a 'cross bike. The first thing you notice is that you can see more of the front wheel out front than usual. This is for three reasons: a very short stem, a slacker than usual (69-degree) head angle and a long front centre on the frame (the 'front centre' is the measurement from the bottom bracket axle to the front wheel axle). Off road, these three factors work well together if you stay sitting in the centre of the bike instead of instantly hanging off the back of the saddle when the terrain drops away. But if you're used to dropping off the back of the saddle to avoid the possibility of taking a dive over the bars on a more conventional 'cross bike it takes a while to gain confidence to do the opposite. Mountain bikers will adapt more quickly than road/cross riders.
At slow speeds, on technical terrain, you have to consciously fight the feeling that you need to shift your weight back, because if you do the steering starts to feel a bit wishy-washy, especially under hard braking. But as your speeds increase, especially over typical non-technical cyclo-cross terrain, you start to gain confidence to stay sitting (or hovering) over the middle of the bike and let the bike's steering find its own way. Basically, relax and it trundles along like a well-balanced mountain bike wearing skinny tyres. The easy pull (with centre bar interrupter levers) well modulated power of the disc brakes are a massive boost compared to the cantilevers more usually found on 'cross bikes.
Construction-wise, the frame boasts an interesting assortment of manipulated shaped aluminium tubes, chosen to achieve the right combination of stiffness, strength and comfort. There's loads of mud drop-through room and space for a very big tyre up front and up to 38mm out back: Alexander says the stays on final production models will feature more manipulation for tyre clearance without losing the compact (and noticeably good for climbing) back end. The steerer is 1.5/1.125in tapered, the straight blade fork is carbon composite and there are rack and bottle eyelets. Fine detail, including paint and componentry choices at several different price points, is still subject to change, but expect to see two models at below the £1000 mark.
Interview with Whyte's Ian Alexander
BikeRadar: What is the frame and fork material of the bikes?
Ian Alexander: A Whyte-designed hydroformed tubeset in 6061T6 aluminium. We've concentrated on developing a stiff oversize down tube linking together with large asymmetric chainstays, but then using our slimline signature Whyte-designed seatstays with a 27.2mm seat post for as much comfort as possible.
BR: Will the frames and fork be the same throughout the range?
IA: There are two design briefs, one is a commuter-orientated concept and the other is a more competition-focused frame with extra performance features. Both will have the Whyte-developed CX geometry to allow really serious off-road capability.
BR: Roughly what price points are you aiming at?
IA: Obviously 'Bike-to-Work' scheme friendly is important in the UK. But at this stage we're not confirmed but expect the range to follow on from Whyte's tremendously successful R-7 flat bar range.
BR: What sort of rider do you expect to buy?
IA: The CX bike is the eponymous crossover category. I think MTB XC (cross-country) and Trail riders who want a road option that lets them commute, but with a change of tyres can do proper off-road events like the 3Peaks and Hell of the North Cotswolds will love the Whyte geometry on these bikes. Then you have road riders who also commute but perhaps want to change to CX tyres in the 'cross season and do their local league events as well as CX events like the CX Sportif recently….
BR: Could you sum up your approach to cyclo cross-geometry, and explain why?
IA: It's been an interesting concept to develop. I've come at the CX bike from perhaps more of an MTB design perspective rather than taking a road bike and adding canti-brakes and more clearances. Things like the continuous outer cables and other UK MTB design details are key defining points, but the decision to go disc specific means the bikes have vastly better braking performance off-road, and this means as with MTBs before, the ability to really descend fast and tackle steep and technical off-road sections means the geometry has to cope. I believe that the more stable and sure-footed the bike can be, the faster off-road, so the geometry is based around a longer frame length with correspondingly short stems but in conjunction with slacker head angle and as wide as possible bar widths to get the cockpit and steering geometry really optimised. Using the top mounted brakes gives a great position on the bike when off road. I've been impressed with its neutral feel on the road too, we have CX and road set-ups on test and we're pretty happy.
BR: Where next? Any ideas for the next Whyte level of CX or road bikes?
IA: Personally I'd love to see how a titanium version would ride, purely for research purposes of course…

Thai-Style Omelette
Thai-Style Omelette (khai jiaw, ไข่เจียว) is a common snack to eat on the street or a quick breakfast or lunch. It's usually eaten as a one-dish meal or snack over rice, and not eaten as part of a large family-style meal. It's very easy to make and goes really well with Sri Racha chili sauce.
- Add the oil to the pan on high heat. Wait until the oil is dancing around in the pan and almost smoking.
- Crack the egg into a bowl. Add the fish sauce and pepper, and whisk with a fork until mixed and frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the oil at a slowish rate, so that it's a stream of egg hitting the hot oil.
- Cook until lightly browned. Flip and cook the other side until browned as well. About 1-2 minutes.
- Remove and serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro (optional) and serve with Sri Racha sauce.
Ingredients: What You'll Need
- 1 egg
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 3/4 teaspoon fish sauce or white soy sauce
- enough vegetable oil to cover your pan about 1/2" deep
6 Responses to "Thai-Style Omelette"
This is soooooo
Good! My fave bkfst!
I like soy in it too!
I grew up with this. Sometimes mom would stuff it with pork. But a thai style egg with the nam pla and rice and some soy sauce was comfort food.
mmmmm very good! Throw some scallions on top
Muangan ahan jing. Pom chop mack, Aroi jaung woo!!
(Just like real thai food. I like it a lot, deliciouses…. big time!!!
My favorite thai side dish and breakfast! Where is the basil though? It really gives it a nice flavor and is added to most I had in Thailand, rarely cilantro (northeast, north, central and southern cooking). I just spent most of the summer there living with residents doing volunteer work and learned how to make it authentically. Also, the locals would have a wonderful green chili and vinegar sauce they would eat it with that I don't see listed on this site. It adds some spice and sour to it if that is what you like.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Mudzielwana, Ndileleni Paulinah email@example.com URN etd-09192012-175736 Document Title Teaching reading comprehension to grade 3 Tshivenda-speaking learners Degree PhD Department Early Childhood Education Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr N C Phatudi Co-Supervisor Prof C G Hartell Co-Supervisor Dr J C Joubert Supervisor Keywords
- Tshivenda-speaking learners
- practical experience
- reading comprehension
- theoretical knowledge
Date 2012-09-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe main objective of this research was to explore how teachers teach reading comprehension to Grade 3 Tshivenda-speaking learners. The research was prompted by the low performance of reading amongst these Grade 3 learners in this area.
This study was a qualitative study. The paradigmatic position of the study was the interpretive paradigm. Data was collected through individual teachers' interviews, focus group interviews, classroom observations and content analysis. Interviews and focus group discussions were taped, transcribed, analysed, and data was categorised into themes. Three schools, each with two Grade 3 classes, were selected. Learners were involved because the main aim was to observe teachers teaching reading comprehension to them.
This study did not attempt to measure learner performance, but investigated the teaching of reading comprehension to Grade 3 Tshivenda-speaking learners. The aim of this was to investigate how teachers teach reading comprehension in their classrooms. The study developed a conceptual framework from the literature review, consisting of five phases. These phases were identified and developed as it became clear that, in order to teach reading comprehension effectively, various parties involved in schools need to be actively involved in the different phases when teaching reading comprehension education of learners. In addition, the learning and developmental theories consulted in this study were related to the conceptual framework. The research implies that reading comprehension can be taught and learnt, which further supports the development of the conceptual framework for this study.
The findings of the study revealed that the participating teachers had limited understanding of reading comprehension strategies. They regarded teaching comprehension as a challenge as they do not know what comprehension strategies are and how to apply them. Additionally, they are stressed, confused and frustrated, because learners cannot read and understand the text. Furthermore, responses showed that teachers are uncertain of how to teach reading comprehension.
Teachers spent little time on reading comprehension with learners, with no uniform approach amongst them on how to teach reading comprehension. Guided practice and time to practise comprehension strategies were absent in classrooms. The teachers also showed a lack of theoretical knowledge and practical experience about teaching comprehension strategies, which seems to result in teachers' developing a negative attitude towards their learners (who struggle to read). Interviews and classroom observations revealed that, although the participating teachers said they understood what reading comprehension was, there was no correlation between what they said and what they did in practice in their classrooms. The results measured against Zimmerman's (1998) applied social model of self-regulated learning, show that teachers lack the theoretical knowledge of teaching reading comprehension.
In addition, participants were not satisfied with the intervention strategies and policies provided by the Department of Education. They felt neglected because guidelines were only in English and not in African languages, like Tshivenda. As such, no guidelines to teachers written in Tshivenda with Tshivenda examples exist. Workshops had not been helpful to Tshivenda teachers either. The study also revealed a lack of learning support materials, no variety of reading materials for learners and, in some schools, no readers at all. Lastly, the study shows that these teachers do not have access to research literature on the teaching of reading comprehension and rely on their own experience.

Bored of your look? We all are sometimes—but do not worry, a chance is easier than you may think. Our expert stylists weigh in on how you should take your hairstyle to the next level.
Add a Bang
A complimentary bang can give any haircut a totally new look without chopping your hair off, says Nick Arrojo. It's a subtle change that creates a new focal point. A versatile choice is a swing bang—it can be worn straight down, off to either side or pinned up away from the face. For something more dramatic, go for a bold, blunt bang.
Rock the Pony
Never underestimate the power of a great bit of tail. A low pony with your hair wrapped around it, says Arsen Gurgov, a top hairstylist at the Louis Licari Salon, will up your look instantly. Or, consider volumizing the top to add a pompadour-like lift!
Peek a Boo Highlights
If you aren't interested in cutting your hair you can add some panel highlights a couple levels lighter than your natural color in strategic places, advises Arrojo. It adds a punch to your style without a commitment of totally changing your look. It's also not so drastic that it stands out from the crowd—the whole point of the peek a boo is for the color to pop out with the natural movement and swing of your hairstyle.
Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer
If you want a quick, sexy (but easy!) style do-over, Gurgov says to twist hair up into a very retro, French twist. Add one long pin to hold in place.
Switch Up Your Texture
If you have curly hair and you're constantly straightening it—try working with your natural texture," suggests Arrojo. Most cases the reason women don't like their natural texture is because they don't have the right haircut. Layering is the magic word when it comes to a great wavy/curly haircut. Once you have the perfect cut, it will be much easier to embrace your natural texture.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Google's Internet search engine is getting more personal by highlighting information drawn from its users' Gmail accounts on its main results page.
The feature announced Wednesday marks Google's latest attempt to deliver data that people are seeking more quickly as it tries to maintain the dominance of its lucrative Internet search engine. Google is testing the feature with one million Gmail users who must sign up to participate.
Gmail's more than 425 million users already can search within their e-mail accounts to find something they need, such as an order from Amazon.com or an airline reservation.
Now, Gmail users who join the trial will be shown a list of relevant e-mails on Google's main search results page if the correspondence contains a word entered in a search request.
Google has been moving toward a more personalized, custom search when it launched a feature called "Search, plus your world" in January, and the Knowledge Graph project in May.
Search, plus your world pulls personalized search results from a person signed in to their Google accounts, featuring photos from Picasa or links from Google+. The Knowledge Graph features information that Google deems relevant to a search, such as vital information or photos related to a topic.

Melanie Coon, WSDOT Communications, 360-570-2336 (Olympia) Steve Pierce, Communications Director, 360-705-7076 (Olympia)
Two Washington State Department of Transportation workers injured today while helping keep state roadways open during the winter storm are expected to make full recoveries, WSDOT said today. But Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond said these incidents, plus other situations faced by WSDOT employees and State Patrol troopers, highlight the dangers emergency responders face as they work to keep the state's transportation system functional against difficult weather odds. "Our maintenance workers and State Patrol troopers truly are partners in situations like the one we have faced this week when heavy snowfalls and ice made our roadways difficult to travel," Hammond said. "I want to personally thank all the men and woman who have been working around the clock to make our highways as safe as possible." WSP said its personnel responded to 2,317 incidents in the 24-hour period ending at 9 a.m. Thursday morning – four times as many incidents as a year ago on the same day. WSDOT maintenance crews follow stringent safety standards and protocols as they plow snow and ice, apply deicers, clear fallen trees and help clear accidents and spinouts with their WSP partners. Thursday morning, a WSDOT incident response worker was injured on southbound I-405 near Mill Creek while assisting a driver whose car had spun out. The worker, who was taken to a hospital, sustained several broken bones but is expected to make a full recovery. Fellow WSDOT workers were at his side throughout the ordeal. Earlier in the morning, another WSDOT employee clearing fallen trees on State Route 18 was struck by a tree limb. He received four stitches and was able to return to work. Also today, two snowplows working on Interstate 90, one near Ellensburg and the other in Spokane, were rear-ended, but no injuries were reported. To reduce risks to WSDOT and WSP emergency responders, WSDOT advises drivers to take it slow, drive for conditions, leave extra room between vehicles, and be extra cautious near chain-up areas. Also, drivers should use extra caution around snowplows. Stay back 15 car lengths from the snowplow until a safe passing area clearly exists or until the plow pulls off the road. When approaching an oncoming snowplow, slow down and give it extra room. If involved in an incident, drivers should attempt to steer the vehicles out of the traffic lanes if possible.

Almost everyday for lunch I drink this smoothie along with leftovers or a quinoa salad. It should be no surprise I eat a lot of quinoa salads. What I like about the smoothie is the ingredients are relatively cheap and the magic bullet is able to make a smooth smoothie. Losing access to a VitaMix is tough, but I'm surviving and improvising.
I drink the smoothie for the nutritional value more than anything. Since stopping a regular vitamin routine, I feel good knowing I'm putting vitamins into my system through whole foods each day. I listed the nutritional value to satisfy my own curiosity about what I was putting into my body and to justify this continued practice. It's all worth it! Smoothie for everyone!
How to make a smoothie in a few easy steps:
Add frozen strawberries.
Take a big handful of spinach – squish it in.

Yield – 1 drink

1 teaspoon ground flaxseed meal
1 cup spinach, loosely packed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Classics Club Challenge
As much as I love contemporary literature, I love the old stuff--especially now that I'm, uh, a bit older myself. So I always get a thrill when other book bloggers decide to focus on classics instead of whatever the publicists and publishers determine to send our way. Maybe I won't be sidetracked from starting that Gissing I've been eyeing for a couple of years now that Jillian's started the Classics Club.
My objective will be to read 50 books from the list below by April 2, 2015. In addition to obvious classics like Dostoevsky, Trollope, Eliot, and Gissing, I'm calling anything published by NYRB, Virago, Persephone, Penguin or Modern Library modern classics. Science fiction classics count as well, no matter the publisher.
I'll be adding books to this initial list; we had a flood earlier this year and until the new floor is in place (finally ordered last week after weeks of agonizing over what to put down in place of the ruined carpet), an entire bookcase full of tbr possibilities is out of commission.

Vt: More jobs are in need of an educated workforceBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | July 14,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Vermont can expect to see 132,000 job openings this decade jobs that will require education and training beyond high school, according to a national report.
The report by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce predicted the following Vermont industries would experience the strongest growth:
Professional, scientific and technical services: 38 percent.
Administrative and support, and waste management and remediation services: 33 percent.
Health care and social assistance: 25 percent.
Within those industries, health care support jobs are expected to increase 27 percent; STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), 25 percent; health care professional and technical, 24 percent; social sciences, 24 percent.
Nationally, the number of jobs will increase by 24 million to 165 million by 2020.
For job seekers, the report emphasized the importance of education. Four out of five of the fastest-growing occupations health care professionals, STEM, education, and community services will require high levels of post-secondary education. The one exception is health care support, where only 59 percent of jobs will require post-secondary education.
To meet the jobs challenge, technical centers at some Vermont high schools, such as Rutland and Essex, are preparing students for more advanced training, available at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, the University of Vermont in Burlington, Green Mountain College in Poultney and other Vermont institutions.
Stafford Technical Center, associated with Rutland High School, will launch its own two-year STEM Academy program next year.
Lyle Jepson, Staffords director, said the Georgetown report is consistent with what employers are seeking from job applicants.
I dont think we can say any longer that you can come out of school with a high school diploma and get a job that will sustain yourself and your family in a way that would be comfortable, Jepson said.
He added that the need for skilled workers will become more acute with the graying of the workforce.
Fieh Chen, a math teacher who is leading the STEM program at Stafford, said his advisory board is made up of representatives from GE Aviation, Omya, Green Mountain Power and other companies.
We really wanted to look for a program that we could create that would give students the skills they need to enter a two- and four-year program after high school to become technicians or engineers, Chen said.
Stafford STEM graduates will be eligible to receive two certifications, including one certification that comes with 12 transferable credits recognized by the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Students with advanced training can go on to high-paying jobs.
For example, Chen said students who earn a two-year degree in their chosen field from Vermont Technical College can expect to earn up to $45,000 a year. A four-year college graduate can earn up to $80,000 a year.
Technician and engineering jobs will be in demand in areas including aerospace, civil, mechanical, electrical and mechanical engineering.
The report noted that at the current level of people seeking post-secondary education, the country will fall 5 million short of workers with post-secondary credentials we will need by 2010.
By 2020, 65 percent of all jobs in Vermont will require a post-secondary education, which is on par with the rest of the country.
Thats in contrast to 1973 when workers with post-secondary education held only 28 percent of jobs nationwide, according to the study. That same year, high school graduates and those without a high school diploma together held 72 percent of all jobs in the U.S. By 2020, that number will have been cut in half to 36 percent.
The 14-page executive summary said leadership, communications and analysis skills are the most valued by employers. That also includes mathematical knowledge as being important or very important to success.
Nicole Smith, a senior economist with the Georgetown Public Policy Institute, said the nation is falling behind in the number of post-secondary graduates.
Weve been creating jobs that require more post-secondary education at a faster rate than weve been creating the students with the post-secondary education and training, Smith said.
Smith said the problem is compounded when students graduate with degrees that dont meet the needs of employers.
Among the segment of the population that will lead the U.S. workforce in the decades to come, the U.S. lags many other industrialized countries. Smith cited a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that said among 25-to-34 year olds, the U.S. ranks 14th in the world in post-secondary degrees at 40 percent. Korea is ranked first at 62 percent.
In Vermont, of the projected 132,000 job openings through the end of the decade, 57,000 will be new jobs and 75,000 will open up due to retirements.
Total Vermont employment is projected to increase 17 percent (between 2010 and 2020) from 340,000 to 397,000 jobs. The report said the percentage increase is on par with the national average.
For Vermont and the rest of the country, Smith said she has concerns related to the rapid growth in health care support jobs.
She said those jobs suffer from two major problems: One is that there are no clearly defined career pathways that really take you from support to professional jobs in health care. The other is that the wages in health care support are just stagnant, she said.
Not all jobs are forecast to see robust growth.
The report found that Vermont will see the weakest job growth in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting industry, up just 1 percent. Among specific occupations, by the end of the decade blue-collar jobs will see the slowest growth, increasing 12 percent.
Smith said the loss of blue collar manufacturing jobs nationwide can be traced to automation resulting in increased productivity.
In the late 1970s, she said each worker contributed $100,000 in output to their industry. In 2010, Smith said that with fewer workers that output had tripled to $300,000 per worker. Manufacturing now accounts for 10 to 11 percent of the workforce compared to 30 percent in the late 1960s, Smith said.

I think these are mostly stupid criticisms. Look, I'm not trying to
sell the show, I only mentioned it because I thought people might
be interested, and yes, it's clear they're working on it just like
any new show. They do have an hour a day to fill.
The golf course is beautiful and overlooks the harbor and the
Statue of Liberty. He was there for a charity function that he
couldn't miss, so what? Oooo, Daphne put Vitamin C in her health
drink, alert the media! (laugh) I'm sorry the writer for the
Huffington Post felt so endangerd by watching the show.

Unlike ordinary general purpose CFD software, the extensive functionality contained within SC/Tetra enables it to be used to simulate a variety of other thermal/fluid applications. SC/Tetra's capabilities include free surface simulation, aero acoustics, human body thermoregulation, object movement due to induced fluid forces (with six degrees of freedom), sprays, and more.
Simulating the water spray pattern is an interesting and challenging fluid problem. The water spray pattern, as a second phase, rotates and is intrinsically transient. The water spray pattern must be coupled to the air flow solution. SC/Tetra's fast and memory efficient solver enables simulation of this complex application.

Your CFD Software Should Not Define Your Limits
Many of the CFD software on the market today make dramatic claims about how easily their CFD codes can be used to evaluate design concepts and reduce cycle time. These claims may be true when the problems being solved are relatively simple. However, when the geometry and/or flow phenomena become very complex, these software codes are quickly out of their league.
Seeing is one Step to Understanding.Understanding is the key to Innovation
It may not seem very profound to say that innovation is the key to differentiating your company from your competitors. But there is more truth to this statement than ever before. For several years now we've given substantial attention to quality, and we rarely talked about innovation. But today, customers assume they'll get quality. Quality is a given. Look at cars.

The Bat: because that's what you call a flying mouse
We're still checking our sources, but KIBARDIN design doesn't actually seem to be a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises. That hasn't stopped them from whipping up some concept renderings of a computer mouse that's totally superhero worthy. When free of your hand's weight, The Bat mouse floats roughly an inch and a half above its pad using some sort of magnet system. And while I'm sure you could force it to the ground, the weight of your hand won't be enough to get it there.
The main purpose of The Bat isn't awesome comic book references: it was designed to prevent and treat carpal tunnel syndrome — something that many avid computer users suffer from. You see, carpal tunnel syndrome comes from pressure on the median nerve — the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. By lifting that nerve off of the desk, designer Vadim Kibardin hopes to alleviate the numbness and muscle damage that carpal tunnel can create. If only the rest of the world's remedies came in awesome, floating packages.
