Union County commissioners and the school district reached an impasse in mediation Wednesday over a budget funding dispute, and now will face off in court for the first time over the issue.
The two sides were up against a Thursday deadline for the mediator to declare an impasse, seek a deadline extension or announce a settlement.
After the five-hour mediation ended, the county said the school district had proposed that it receive additional funds over the next three years beyond the amount the county had approved. That plan would produce a $38.5 million deficit for the county over three years, the county said, and require a 10 percent tax hike to cover the deficit.
In a statement, the district tore into the county for disclosing the plan.
It is highly inappropriate, irregular and irresponsible for either side to release details of confidential proposals, a statement from the district read. It truly represents a failure of leadership when county commissioners and the county manager choose to publicly attack their own school system for trying to meet the needs of its children and the expectations of its citizens.
School district leaders referred additional comment to outside counsel Richard Schwartz. He planned to file suit this week, and the case could head to court in the next couple weeks.
Schwartz called the countys description of the districts proposal completely inaccurate but declined to get into specifics because it was a confidential mediation proposal.
County Manager Cindy Coto declined to comment on the districts criticism. She did, however, call the districts proposal financially unsustainable.
The county also said the school district actually has a projected surplus of $2.9 million when taking into account increases in state funding that were finalized after mediation began, the countys funding, the school districts fund balance and adjustments for school board budget requests that appeared to be inflated.
In a statement, commissioners Chairman Jerry Simpson said he hoped that the surplus would be enough to convince the district not to proceed with suing county residents to get more money. Residents cannot afford a tax increase, he said.
In June, the school board demanded mediation because it was unhappy with the amount of funding county commissioners were providing them in the countys 2013-14, $298 million operating and capital budget: The county allocated $82.3 million in general operating funds for the district, or about $2.7 million less than the school board had wanted. And instead of the $8.4 million it wanted for capital funds, the county said it would provide $9 million over three years.
All along, county officials have said they would be forced to raise taxes or slash services if they had to give more money to the school district.
The mediation process has been contentious from the start.
One commissioner said his board was protecting taxpayers from a tax-and-spend school board that cared little about teachers. A school board member shot back that he simply wanted an unbiased mediator to help the district gets its fair share of the funding.
In late June, the county sued the school district to force it to turn over documents the county insisted were critical to its mediation dealings. A school board lawyer dismissed the suit as total nonsense. The district then handed over seven boxes with more than 25,000 pages of documents in them. County officials called the data dump unusable and sought more financial records even as it put its lawsuit on hold.
This is the fourth time the board has sought mediation since 1998, the year after the current state law dealing with the issue was enacted. No other North Carolina school district has used the process more.
All of the other times the Union County district sought mediation, it ended up settling without going to court and getting more money from the county.
The most recent settlement, in 2007, also was the only time a settlement resulted in a property tax hike for residents.

Awesome App!
I have been looking for over five months for a good text/call app. All it takes is about ten minutes of setting up your messaging and new number and then, it`s free to text anyone, anywhere, anytime! And the thing I love about it is, that you can text people other then the ones who have this particular app. A lot of other apps say "oh, you must only text `blah blah blah` users." Well not this one!
The only thing is, is that I wish they had these features:
•an option to choose your ringtone
•an option to get rid of adds
•to have the "..." or some kind of signal, when the other person is typing.
I hope in the update they include these things!
Besides that, this is an excellent app for anyone who needs good, free texting and calling.
great app
works very nicely for the google voice part. Especially without the ads interrupting the voice quality.

Wood Grain
While the wood Grain determines the character of the wood, different sawing techniques create unique patterns.

JFA Architecture Wins Two Contractor of the Year Awards and Award for Professionalism
Wyncote, PA—Joseph Augustine, owner of JFA Architecture has been honored with a Professionalism Award, as well as two Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards by the Bucks-Mont Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI.) His design work on two residential addition projects in the $100,000 to $250,000 and $250,000+ categories earned JFA Architecture and their contractor partners the coveted CotY Awards. Both of the award winning renovations involved a residential addition featuring a kitchen.
For the addition in the $100,000 to $250,000 category, JFA teamed with Doyle Remodeling to affect an amazing transformation to a circa 1873 twin home owned by the Bower family. For this renovation, JFA was tasked with marrying the old with the new. Prior to the renovation, the Bower residence featured a small, dark kitchen so cramped that the refrigerator didn't fit in the room. To create the space the family required, Augustine took advantage of an underutilized side porch which provided the square footage necessary to accommodate a spacious kitchen with an adjoining mudroom. By carrying details like period trim and wood mouldings throughout the renovated areas, JFA Architecture was able to create a design that was beautiful, functional and preserved the Victorian character of the home.
The project that received the CotY Award in the $250,000+ category was an addition for the Mauro family. For this award winning remodeling project, JFA teamed with Gemmi Construction. Prior to the renovation, the rooms in the Mauro residence were gloomy and secluded. The kitchen was dated and lacked storage and counter space, as well as many other entertaining-friendly features the homeowners desired. With this in mind, JFA Architecture went to work envisioning a new space to meet their needs.
Fortunately, the Mauro property had available space in the rear which could be utilized to expand the footprint of the home. With this gain in space, Augustine was able to design a large kitchen that could accommodate an ample, furniture-style center island with an extra thick granite top, prep sink, under counter storage and room for four bar stools. The new kitchen also featured a breakfast nook with a beautiful view to the back yard. To enhance the transition between rooms, JFA widened doorways and added transom windows. This also made the rooms brighter by allowing in more natural light.
The Mauro family was thrilled with the outcome sharing, "The end result exceeded our expectations. The addition and renovated spaces look beautiful and most importantly to us, everything was designed and built to compliment the original character of our home. We could not be happier."
Judging for the 2012 CotY competition was conducted by an impartial panel of NARI representatives from the Central New Jersey and Del-Chester chapters. These industry experts selected winners based on each entrant's "before and after" photography and project description. Judging was based on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation. This is a stringent selection process. Regardless of the number of entries, CotY's are only awarded to companies whose work is deemed to be of the highest caliber.

"Architect + Contractor = Smart Remodeling"
A chance introduction three years ago turned into a career
changer for philadelphia-area remodeler John Gemmi and resi-
dential architect Joe Augustine…
Can a residential contractor manage both remodeling projects and new construction projects successfully? Well that depend. On the surface, remodeling and new construction appear to be similar. But are they? Sure, they both incorporate similar materials & products and upon completion the may even appears to be identical. However, there are inherent differences between each project type; some obvious and some not-so-obvious. Our firm provides architectural services for remodeling projects as well as new construction. Over the past decade, we have observed the unique differences between the two project types.
While a new home is typically constructed in a methodical sequence from commencement to completion, a home renovation often involves many intricate steps that need to be coordinated with clock-like precision. Selective or partial demolition is a common component of a home renovation. Frequently load-bearing walls are removed and structural members are modified. The existing construction needs to be properly supported until the new framing elements are in place. In response to the desire for an open-plan, it is customary to reroute and reconfigure mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems whence interior walls are removed.
The construction schedule for a renovation project is often impacted by the fact that the homeowner is living in the house during the project. Items such as start & end times of the workday will need to respond to the homeowner's schedule. There may be "black-out" days on the schedule that are caused by life-events. The work schedule should be clearly reviewed with the homeowner prior to commencement. Moreover, the contractor and sub-contractors need to be aware of their behavior on the job-site. The significance of a smoke-free job-site with acceptable language and appropriate music cannot be over emphasized.
A fundamental goal of renovation projects is to complement the existing character of the home. An addition should not look like it is an addition. The new work should be woven into the fabric of the existing construction. It is also important to consider the personality of the neighborhood. The materials for the project should be selected to create a coherent design solution. A remodeling project will regularly require the need to accurately replicate details and profiles.
Large renovation projects are often divided into smaller, manageable phases. A master-plan will illustrate the overall project in its entirety. The intent of a master-plan is for each phase of the project to be "self-sufficient" and not dependent upon the later phases to be considered complete. It is common for the architect, remodeler and homeowner to work together to create a master-plan for the project.
Like most relationships, success comes from good communication and teamwork. -jfa
Here is an informative pamphlet written by The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), entitled, "How to Select a Remodeling Professional". It covers topics such as Project Approach; The General Contractor, The Design-Build Contractor and the Architect. It also identifies the essential components of the Construction Contract.
JFA Architecture is a member of the Bucks-Mont Chapter of NARI.
(The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the only independent association dedicated to the remodeling industry is a not-for-profit trade association with more than 50 years of industry experience. NARI represents professional
remodeling contractors, product manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, trade publications, utilities and lending institutions. NARI is committed to enhancing the professionalism of the remodeling industry and serving as an ally to homeowners.)
There has been a lot of "buzz" lately about "green building". There are many issues that come under the heading of environmentally conscious construction. Even before the current focus placed upon being "green", we have taken a conservative approach towards design and construction.
We begin each project by studying and analyzing site features; topography, solar orientation and landscaping are all considered. As the design begins, we efficiently plan rooms and spaces that maximize their potential uses. Our designs often incorporate open plans that not only provide spaces with multiple uses; it allows views and vistas through the home. The reduction of wasted space is the greatest contributor to reducing the environmental impact of the project.
There are varying degrees of "green" building materials. We can assist in understanding the breadth of choices as well as the benefits and costs of these materials. Our projects are designed with features such as; higher levels of insulation, energy efficient windows and low levels of air infiltration to reduce the energy required for heating and cooling. -jfa

Collaborating with an architect is often the name of the game for remodelers working on home improvement projects. Sometimes a client comes to a contractor with architectural plans already done, and in other instances, a designer is brought in to help with the layout of a specific area of a project. Navigating the relationship between contractor and architect can sometimes be a touchy situation, but it does not have to be. Like most relationships, success comes from good communication and teamwork.
Architects and remodelers come to the table with different skill sets. Architects have the reputation and schooling for creative design and often take the time to stay up on current product trends. Remodelers take stock in having the means and the methods needed to get a project done successfully. They rely on years of hands-on experience to troubleshoot projects and often take a practical approach to specifying materials and products used in a remodel. For these two professionals to work together, both parties need to set aside the ego and share control of the project.
The success of a project is contingent upon the tripartite relationship of owner, architect and builder. Each party has a unique role that they must contribute to the project. A remodeler is a skilled craftsman that excels in the art of construction. They are not trained designers or space planners. To expect a remodeler to design a building, places an unnecessary burden upon them that they are not educated to solve.
Conversely, while architects are trained in the design and constructability of a building, they cannot provide a definitive construction budget. At best, they can consult trade publications that may or may not accurately reflect the current costs based upon industry averages. Architects take a holistic view of the entire project. They realize that no part of the project exists in a vacuum and therefore, each and every component of a project affects the others. By the way, most townships and communities in Pennsylvania require construction documents to be prepared by a licensed architect.
In many cases, it makes sense for the architect to oversee the design decisions while the contractor takes charge of how to get the building done. Control should be shared, or passed back and forth, during different stages of a project. If there are differences in opinion, it is best for architects and designers to work out a solution that will best satisfy the client's needs, not their own.
The essence of the relationship is collaboration. The collaboration of an architectural firm proficient in design excellence and a remodeler that excels in quality construction is the foundation for success. If this is true, then it only seems logical for remodelers and architects to align themselves in strategic partnerships from the beginning when marketing projects.
When remodeling projects are approached from a design-build basis, the architecture and budgeting are developed concurrently. As each phase of the design is completed by the architect, the remodeler is able to inform the owner of the probable cost of the project. This checks and balance keeps all of the team members enlighten without the fear of surprises.
A design-build approach avoids the pitfalls that some homeowners incur when presented with bids from multiple remodelers that are all beyond the anticipated project budget. This occurs when the construction documents are completed without the benefit of accurate cost estimating. After several months of the homeowner becoming intimately attached to the project of their dreams, they are confronted with the reality that it is beyond their budget. Even after the project is redesigned to conform to their budget, the homeowner is left with the regret of what the project could have been. This series of events is a detriment to the homeowner's time, budget and patience.
Therefore, it appears to be most apparent, that the architect and remodeler need to rely upon the unique skills and expertise of one another to successfully design and construct an award-winning project. The design-build collaboration affords the homeowner several benefits; a project that is distinctively designed; a project cost that fits within their budget; and a project constructed in a beautiful manner.
Often times, a general contracting company will inappropriately use the term "design-build" to describe their services when in fact a licensed architect is not being consulted. They may simply have a "creative" draftsman in their office that has basic drafting skills.
The fact is, general contractors are expected to be skilled craftsmen that excel in the art of construction. They are not trained architects or space planners. Expecting a contractor to design a building, places an unnecessary burden upon him that he is not trained to solve. One just needs to look at the many mediocre homes that populate our communities!
Conversely, while architects are trained in the design and constructability of a building, they cannot provide a definitive construction budget. At best, they can consult trade publications that may or may not accurately reflect the current costs based upon industry averages.
Architects take a holistic view of the entire project. They realize that no part of the project exists in a vacuum and therefore, each and every component of a project affects the others.

A fishing village called Dalyan will be our final destination after we return to our yacht by piyade boat. Dinner and an overnight stay will be in the Gulf of Ekincik.
Because of the wavy seas of Disibilmez and Kurtoglu that we have to cross, we will cruise earlier than the other days and reach the world-famous Oludeniz Bay. Our yacht will be anchored in Oludeniz for lunch and a swimming break. The next stop will be Gemiler Island. It is recommended to have an early evening walk on Gemiler Island and pay a visit to the Church of St. Nicholas, located at the top of the island, which remains from Byzantine times. Dinner and an overnight stay will be in the Gemiler Strait.
After breakfast, we will cruise to Turunc Pinari for lunch and a swimming break. On the fourth day of our cruise, we will arrive in Fethiye Harbour around 16:00 p.m. The guests will leave the boat with precious memories by 16:30 here. On leaving the Gulet you will be transferred to Dalaman Airport for your flight to Kayseri via Istanbul. On arrival in Kayseri you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel.
Today after breakfast we visit Devrent Valley where wvarious types of fairy Chimneys are abundant. We then drive on to Pasabagi in Zelve area where monks used to live in seclusion in rock cut rooms and proceed to the pottery town of Avanos where Kizilirmak (Hallys), the longest river of Turkey, meanders leaving the red clay on its banks that has been the raw material of pottery for centuries. In the afternoon visit to Open Air Museum in Goreme to visit to the early Christian churches decorated with unique frescoes depicting various scenes from the Bible.
After breakfast visit to Rose Valley, one of the most beautiful trekking valleys in Cappadocia, and explore the famous rock- cut churches by hiking through the valley. Rest in Cavusin, an old Greek village, known for its Christian houses and churches. After this visit Ortahisar Castle, similar to Uchisar Castle in style, where storage caves can also be observed. In the afternoon visit aymakli Underground City where early christians lived in fear and faith. On the way back visit to panoramic Pıgeon Valley where pigeons contributed to the lives of locals with their manure to fertilize the wineyards. After the tour you'll be transferred back to Kayseri Airport for your return flight to Istanbul where our services will end apon arrival.

Some Universities Dissing Kindle DX Due To Blind-Unfriendliness
But it seems as if not everyone is too keen on the Kindle DX replacing the textbook, and the National Federation of the Blind has today come forward to bring some attention to the matter. Both the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Syracuse University have elected not to rollout the Kindle DX as a means of distributing electronic textbooks (e-books) to their students, despite the fact that it features text-to-speech technology that can read textbooks aloud. Naturally, the Federation is applauding these decisions, but why? Here's the quote:
"The menus of the device are not accessible to the blind, however, making it impossible for a blind user to purchase books from Amazon's Kindle store, select a book to read, activate the text-to-speech feature, and use the advanced reading functions available on the Kindle DX. Both universities have experimented with the Kindle DX to learn whether e-book technology is useful to their students. But the schools will not adopt the device for general use unless and until it is made accessible to blind students."
We guess that makes sense on some level. What good is a book reader that reads to you if you can't tell it to start reading, right? But on the other hand, it's tough to expect Amazon to make an e-reader specifically for those with damaged or no sight. We can certainly see both sides of the argument. At the end of the day, we highly doubt Amazon will take offense. What's more likely to happen is that another startup will see this as an opportunity and will fill the niche by creating an e-reader that's suited to the blind, yet not the best option for those with sight. We'll close with a quote from Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind:
"The National Federation of the Blind commends the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Syracuse University for rejecting broad deployment of the Kindle DX in its current form because it cannot be used by blind students and therefore denies the blind equal access to electronic textbooks. We do not oppose electronic textbooks; in fact, they hold great promise for blind students if they are accessible. But as long as the interface of the Kindle DX is inaccessible to the blind -- denying blind students access to electronic textbooks or the advanced features available to read and annotate them -- it is our position that no university should consider this device to be a viable e-book solution for its students."
They should enlarge the power button and put Braille text on it that says "hold until beep". When you hit the power button the screen should immediately say "release power button, or continue to hold for visually impaired mode".
If you turn it on, and continue to hold the power button until the beep, it should go into text to speech mode that reads all of the menus to you, and re-read the currently selected option when you change it via the navigation buttons (with raised up/down arrows).
This would require almost no effort to implement, and would make the device appealing to the complete audience.
Or, the menus could be read depending on an option in the preferences. Blind people don't generally mind having someone set things like that up, as long as they can do the majority of the work themselves. They could even ship the units with the audible menu option turned on, and let people turn it off with a couple of button presses if they wanted. A minimum of thought and programming could have made this device accessible.
But we've gotten away from the days when Apple hired human factors (HF) designers to imbue products with more pleasant human-computer interactions. (If Microsoft ever did, it didn't show.) Now, engineers design interfaces, and as always, it's mostly for their own convenience, or based on their own expectations.
HF is a psychological field, though, which makes it a tough sell. Most people believe that they know more about human nature (including the way people learn and react) than people who've studied it. Oddly enough, this is called the Fundamental Attribution Error, which you learn in... psychology classes.
I wouldn't recommend the Kindle to a blind person, anyway; the spectre of remote deletion hangs over it. While a sighted user may be able to deal with it, having something you know you were reading suddenly disappear without warning would be much more confusing to a blind person.
Remember the outrage over the Kindles text-to-speech? Nobody's ever going to be completely happy with your device. However, like the above posters have mentioned, implementation of a easy access Text-To-Speech can be quickly implemented in a firmware upgrade perhaps?
On another note, aren't IPhones unfriendly to blind people as well?
>On another note, aren't IPhones unfriendly to blind people as well?
iPhones, Androids, Pres, etc. etc. Pretty much anything with a touch screen that doesn't allow guided navigation of controls. And don't think that the existence of a mechanical joypad or keypad lets you do this-- most smartphones (the ones I've reviewed, at least) have the occasional screen where you have to use the touchscreen for some function or setting.
There's a wide range of visual impairments (VI), ranging from presbyopia (the reduced ability to focus at close range, common in older adults) to full nonsightedness. A large number of VI sufferers are classed as "Low vision" (LV): inability to differentiate colors, pinching of the visual field, lowered density of the retina, hazing or occlusions, cataracts, etc. In general, fully blind users require a screenreader or a Braille display to work with computers, whereas LV users can get away with a larger display font.
But, as I mentioned earlier, programmers don't design for users' convenience any more; but rather for their own convenience. Rather than try to figure out how to flow text larger than 9 point, Windows dialog boxes are set at that size, no matter what your other settings are. Microsoft Help is a flagrant example of this; its "Largest" is still tiny, and a narrow-stroke typeface that's not changable without major surgery. And that's with a huge monitor. Phones, with their miniscule screens? Rather than allow the user to scroll their displays, smartphones attempt to cram a lot of text into a little area.
The blind people I know use phones with verbal feedback (a Braille display, available for computers, would be much more difficult and expensive for a cell phone). They also prefer voice input of commands, which is often supported by only a couple of the apps-- Kevin has a GPS device on his phone which is completely useless to him, since that lacks the voice I/O support of the dialing program.
The sad thing is that a very little bit of thought or, dare I suggest it, the employ of a HF professional, would open these devices up to a wider range of clients. But that's not going to happen when profit margins are so razor-thin in the consumer electronics field.

The New York City Department of Health and Hospitals Police (NYHP) is a law enforcement agency in New York City that's duties are to provide security to hospitals operated by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), and to enforce state and city laws at hospitals operated by New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation.
Hospital Police patrolled the New York City Hospitals since the 1940s. The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) was established in 1965 to operate New York City public hospitals. Until 1973, HHC operated hospitals were patrolled by hospital police and one police officer at a fixed post from the New York City Police Department.
In 1973, Special Patrolman were hired to replace the NYPD officer. But it wasn't until 1980 when "Special Officers employed by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation" were added to NYS Criminal Procedure Law 2.10, granting the officers full on/off-duty peace officer authority.[1]
About the Officers[edit]
Officers of the New York City Health and Hospitals Police are NYS Peace Officers. Once a recruit graduates from the training academy, they are sworn in as a "HHC Peace Officer."
HHC Police Officers can be promoted to the position of Sergeant provided they take and pass a civil service exam and management course, and may be appointed to the position of Detective, Lieutenant, Captain or Director as these are non civil service positions.
There are four titles (referred to as ranks) in the New York City Department of Health and Hospitals Police:
|Uniform Shirt Color
|Detective Sergeant
Hospital Peace Officer
Power and Authority[edit]
New York City Hospital Peace Officers are New York State peace officers authorized to make warrantless arrests, make car stops, issue summonses, and use physical and physical force.[1]
New York City Hospital Peace Officer recruits must first graduate from the NYC Hospital Police Training Academy. The training that is given to the Hospital Peace Officers is in police science and physical training. Hospital Peace Officers are also trained in the use of O.C spray, summons writing, and report writing.
Officers are required to attend annual in-service training to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the New York State's Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Equipment and Vehicles[edit]
NYC Hospital Peace Officers are equipped with an expandable baton, handcuffs, whistle, flashlight, but can not carry or use firearms and a radio that is directly linked to the Central Dispatcher and other officers. The department currently uses marked and unmarked vehicles.
"The Health and Hospitals Corporation is committed to the safety and security of the patients, visitors, staff, and the public that utilize all the facilities that make up Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC).
The department's focus is to instill a sense of peace and order in a safe environment. We feel this can be accomplished by not only enforcing all local, state and federal statutes, but also by providing educational and awareness programs for the staff and community in which we serve.
The department values the trust of the health care system's patients and staff. We strive to maintain that trust by making life better and safer for the health care community."
Line of Duty Deaths[edit]
Since the establishment of the New York City Department of Health and Hospitals Police, 3 officers have died in the line of duty.[2]

Food & Recipes
Vegetarian Diets - How can vegetarians eat a balanced diet?
You may be worried that you won't get all the nutrients you need with a vegetarian diet. But as long as you eat a variety of foods, there are only a few things you need to pay special attention to.
- Calcium for vegetarians who don't eat milk products. If you don't get your calcium from milk products, you need to eat a lot of other calcium-rich foods. Calcium-fortified breakfast cereals, soy milk, and orange juice are good choices. Calcium-fortified means that the manufacturer has added calcium to the food. Other foods that have calcium include certain legumes, certain leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and tofu. If you don't use calcium-fortified foods, ask your doctor if you should take a daily calcium supplement.
- Vitamin D for vegetarians who don't eat milk products. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is important to keep bones strong. Vegetarians who don't eat milk products can use fortified soy milk and breakfast cereals.
- Iron.Getting enough iron is not a problem for vegetarians who take care to eat a wide variety of food. Our bodies don't absorb iron from plant foods as well as they absorb iron from meats. So it's important for vegetarians to regularly eat iron-rich foods. Vegetarian iron sources include cooked dried beans, peas, and lentils; leafy green vegetables; and iron-fortified grain products. And eating foods rich in vitamin C will help your body absorb iron.
- Vitamin B12 for vegans.Vitamin B12 comes from animal sources only. If you are a vegan, you'll need to rely on food that is fortified with this vitamin (for example, soy milk and breakfast cereals) or take supplements. This is especially important for vegan women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Like everyone else, vegetarians also need to make sure they get the following nutrients:
- Protein. When considering a vegetarian diet, many people worry that they will not get enough protein. But eating a wide variety of protein-rich foods such as soy products, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds will give you the protein you need.
- Omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't eat fish or eggs, you need to find other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as hemp seeds, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, certain leafy green vegetables, soybean oil, and canola oil.
- Zinc. Your body absorbs zinc better when it comes from meat than when it comes from plants. But vegetarians don't usually have a problem getting enough zinc if they eat lots of other foods that are good sources of zinc, including whole-grain breads, cooked dried beans and lentils, soy foods, and vegetables.

Marine Buffer is the original and still unique buffer with a pH of 8.3, designed to adjust pH to 8.3 and maintain both pH and alkalinity (KH). It is formulated not to disrupt the natural ionic balance of marine water with prolonged use. Contains a natural balance of sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, and borate, formulated for enhanced and lasting buffer capacity at pH 8.3 without sacrificing calcium. It dissolves readily and does not obscure water clarity.
Treats up to 2,000 gallons.
Add 1 level tsp. for each 20 gallons. Dissolve in at least 1 cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise the alkalinity by about 1 meg/L. Add daily until pH stabalizes at 8.3. This can take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3.

The New Ulm City Council held a Public Hearing on Tuesday concerning the city's 2013 Surface Reconstruction Projects. New Ulm City Engineer Steve Koehler says that work will include repaving 12 blocks for $415,000, or $1,350 per-residential parcel. Work will take place at some point between June and September. The council also awarded a contract for this year's Utility, Street and Alley Improvements to MR Paving & Excavating. The company's bid of $2.6-million came in 5.7% below estimates. In other business the council approved a request from KNUJ to use the open-air city parking lot behind the former Ben Franklin building for the Monday evening downtown New Ulm Farmers Market this summer. Councilor Les Schultz expressed interest in making the weekly event even bigger as well. He cited other Farmers Markets that include music, crafts and food. The council also approved the plans and specifications and called for bids on a project to repair the walls of the swimming pool at the New Ulm Recreation Center. The estimated cost of the project is $250,000.

In Khayyam's poetry there's a sense of nostalgia towards old Persia with all its mythological kings as Jamshid and Keikhosru. If you compare his poetry with some of his contemporaries you see the difference. In his contemporary poetry you could see lots of poems in praise of prophet Mohammad and Imams but khayyam was the brave one who depicted a real mistress in his poetry; as he talks about beautiful women and wine and he questions death and orthodox Muslims. There's a quite difference here. The mistress in Khayyam's poetry is really a woman not an imaginary character or probably a man as it was very common in Persian poetry. In some sufi poetry there's a range of vocabulary which is repetitive and addictive and cliche but the choice of vocabulary in Khayyam is live and real...
