In 1979, His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, a renowned and highly revered Tibetan Buddhist master, came to the United States. Four years later, he established Chagdud Gonpa Foundation, a not-for-profit, international Buddhist organization, which now maintains many dharma centers throughout the world. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving the lineage of profound wisdom and compassion embodied in Tibetan Buddhism, especially in the teachings of the Nyingma school. Chagdud Rinpoche attained parinirvana in 2002; although he is not physically present, his lineage is held by those Chagdud Gonpa teachers whom he ordained. His love and compassion continue to fill our hearts, and the profound wisdom lineage that he bequeathed to all of us continues to flourish.
In 1989, Chagdud Rinpoche requested that his students make some practice items, books, and texts available to others by starting a small store at Rigdzin Ling, CGF's main center in North America. What started as a small glass display case in the living room has grown into Tibetan Treasures, a vibrant internet business and associated storefront.
Rigdzin Ling, nestled at the foot of the Trinity Alps of northern California, is dedicated to making the dharma available to others in myriad ways: offering space for practitioners to step out of busy lives into short or long meditation retreats; providing a sacred place of peace and beauty where students can receive instruction; sponsoring and performing a number of elaborate Vajrayana ceremonies throughout the year; building stupas, prayer wheels, and statues; offering butter lamps; and more. It is the home of Padma Publishing ~ also founded by Chagdud Rinpoche ~ publisher of traditional sacred texts and books, as well as written and audio teachings by Chagdud Rinpoche and other Chagdud Gonpa lamas.
Your purchases directly support all these activities and we thank you for your patronage. If you would like to make a connection with Chagdud Gonpa Foundation teachers or any of the foundation%uFFFDs activities, please call Rigdzin Ling at (530) 623-2714 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

Pakistan: US drone attacks kill 13 in South Waziristan
last update: March 09, 16:41
Islamabad, 9 March (AKI/Dawn) - Missiles fired from US drone aircrafts killed at least 13 people on Friday in the South Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border, DawnNews reported.
The American spy plane fired two missiles on a vehicle and a house which killed four people on the spot.
Locals were busy rescuing others as more causalities are expected.
The US drone air crafts were still flying above South and North Waziristan at the time of reporting.
Around 10 to 12 drone attacks have killed at least 40 people in the area this year. Most of the attacks targeted North Waziristan

From last-minute shopping trips to holiday parties and family gatherings, the holiday season is often a stressful time for parents. But for children with autism spectrum disorder who rely on structure and routine, the hustle and bustle of the holidays can be extremely unsettling, according to experts from Bradley Hospital.
This is particularly true for children who also have sensory processing issues and may be overwhelmed by the overabundance of lights, sights, sounds and smells during the holidays. This distress can often impact the entire family.
Maintaining the current structure and routine for your child may not always be possible during the holidays, but there are ways to help reduce your child's anxiety while increasing your family's enjoyment of the holiday season, say experts from the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities at Bradley Hospital.
The key to preparing for the inevitable changes that come with the holidays is to provide your child with early cues of what will be taking place. For some, this might require depicting with words or pictures exactly what will and will not occur at each event.
The following tips can make the holidays more fun for everyone involved:
We often put pressure on ourselves to make the holidays perfect, which is unrealistic. In the end, the most important thing to remember is that the holidays are a time to cherish one another and the joy of being together. Whether it's scaling back or starting new traditions, celebrate in a way that makes the most sense for your family and is something that you, your child and the entire family will all enjoy.

Pease wins Air Force praise as location for new tankers
Thursday, March 13, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to questioning by U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) at an Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, the head of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command praised Pease Air National Guard base and the performance of the 157th Air Refueling Wing, which is set to receive the KC-46A refueling tanker beginning in fiscal year 2018 pending the results of an environmental-impact statement.
In advance of last week's public hearing, Senator Ayotte and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) wrote to the Director of the Air National Guard to reaffirm their support for Pease's selection to serve as the first home for KC-46As in the Air National Guard. Ayotte worked with fellow delegation members to advocate for Pease to receive the next generation refueling tanker and last year, Ayotte and Shaheen announced that the Air Force chose Pease to be the first Air National Guard unit to receive the tanker. Pending results of the environmental impact study, Pease is slated to receive 12 aircraft beginning in fiscal year 2018.

Weekly Rock Band song updates will cease as of April 2, 2012, developer Harmonix has confirmed.
The developer says it has scaled down production as it transitions to other projects.
"With several new titles in development and developers needed to usher these new games along, April 2nd will be the last weekly DLC release for Rock Band," said Harmonix.
The developer has kept up a weekly release schedule for 275 consecutive weeks, releasing over 4,000 songs for the Rock Band Platform.
Releases will continue in the coming weeks with the remaining tracks from Rock Band Blitz, several Pro Guitar upgrades, and "a handful of artists who have not yet appeared in Rock Band" still to come.
A discount of 50 per cent off over 1,100 songs will also continue.

GUESS-ing Polygenic Associations with Multiple Phenotypes Using a GPU-Based Evolutionary Stochastic Search Algorithm
Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS Genet 9(8): e1003657, 2013
title={GUESS-ing Polygenic Associations with Multiple Phenotypes Using a GPU-Based Evolutionary Stochastic Search Algorithm},
author={Bottolo, Leonardo and Chadeau-Hyam, Marc and Hastie, David I and Zeller, Tanja and Liquet, Benoit and Newcombe, Paul and Yengo, Loic and Wild, Philipp S and Schillert, Arne and Ziegler, Andreas and others},
journal={PLoS Genetics},
publisher={Public Library of Science}
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) yielded significant advances in defining the genetic architecture of complex traits and disease. Still, a major hurdle of GWAS is narrowing down multiple genetic associations to a few causal variants for functional studies. This becomes critical in multi-phenotype GWAS where detection and interpretability of complex SNP(s)-trait(s) associations are complicated by complex Linkage Disequilibrium patterns between SNPs and correlation between traits. Here we propose a computationally efficient algorithm (GUESS) to explore complex genetic-association models and maximize genetic variant detection. We integrated our algorithm with a new Bayesian strategy for multi-phenotype analysis to identify the specific contribution of each SNP to different trait combinations and study genetic regulation of lipid metabolism in the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS). Despite the relatively small size of GHS (n = 3,175), when compared with the largest published meta-GWAS (n>100,000), GUESS recovered most of the major associations and was better at refining multi-trait associations than alternative methods. Amongst the new findings provided by GUESS, we revealed a strong association of SORT1 with TG-APOB and LIPC with TG-HDL phenotypic groups, which were overlooked in the larger meta-GWAS and not revealed by competing approaches, associations that we replicated in two independent cohorts. Moreover, we demonstrated the increased power of GUESS over alternative multi-phenotype approaches, both Bayesian and non-Bayesian, in a simulation study that mimics real-case scenarios. We showed that our parallel implementation based on Graphics Processing Units outperforms alternative multi-phenotype methods. Beyond multivariate modelling of multi-phenotypes, our Bayesian model employs a flexible hierarchical prior structure for genetic effects that adapts to any correlation structure of the predictors and increases the power to identify associated variants. This provides a powerful tool for the analysis of diverse genomic features, for instance including gene expression and exome sequencing data, where complex dependencies are present in the predictor space.

Special Blend Spice Puffy Jacket - Women's
I went snowboarding for the first time this season with me new cloths and was dissappointed. This coat while looking very nice just does not seem to stay where it needs to. I was constantly pulling the snow guard down because it kept riding up. Which became a problem when ever I actually needed it during an occasional fall. If this coat was a little longer it would be perfect otherwise I would look for something else!

In very rare, nearly impossible to replicate circumstances, it appears client/New() in some unknown unique case, fails to fire.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Can not reproduce.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
proc/UpdateUserlist() |
Expected Results:
Correct clients var which reflects current login count.
Actual Results:
clients var is too low indicating client/New() is sometimes failing.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Rarely
In other games? Untested
In other user accounts? Most likely
On other computers? Probably
When does the problem NOT occur?
Generally this is not a problem.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
We could use the allusers list var in the updater as the for loop always seems to flect the accurate count. The var tracker is the issue.
Other Notes:
I absolutely hate reporting things I can't at least reproduce to a degree. I suspect this is maybe a packet issue causing client/New() to not fire but I can't prove anything.
I have tried to reproduce locally using guest account feature and autoit aid slamming 2 connections per second but it is always right on the money. This is a really frustrating issue.

Chef and Tell with Frank Bonanno of Luca, Mizuna, Osteria Marco and Bones
Lori Midson Frank Bonanno in the kitchen of Luca d'Italia
"Look, I see a lot of things in restaurants that I think are really unacceptable, and it pisses me off, because I think that Denver diners deserve a lot better than what a lot of places are doing, and if that view makes me seem too outspoken, that's okay with me."
That's Frank Bonanno laying down the gauntlet. The Denver chef who raises eyebrows and turns heads as much for his brash honesty as for his unassailable cooking is in the kitchen of Luca d'Italia (one of four restaurants he owns) making burrata, stuffing and shaping tortellini, grilling bread, bantering with his cooks and sharing his thoughts on his peers and the state of Denver's restaurant scene -- a scene that Bonanno has been instrumental in making a success.
"Even though I'm 43 years old, I'd like to think that I know what's going on -- that I'm still on top of things," says Bonanno, a Jersey native whose first kitchen job was rolling meatballs in an Italian joint in New York. He continued to work in restaurants in New York and New Jersey, then headed west to attend the University of Denver. He dropped that gig before graduating, but picked up another one making pizzas at Sfuzzi before spearheading the kitchen at Creekside Grill. He did a stint with Anthony's Pizza for a year -- "so I could learn how to play golf" -- then headed back to the Big Apple for culinary school at CIA at Hyde Park. A girl, Jacqueline (now his wife), lured him back to Denver, where he's been pushing the culinary envelope -- and ruffling the feathers of his colleagues -- ever since. "I work really, really hard, I love Denver, I strive to be the best at what I do, but because I voice my opinion, not all the chefs in town are going to love me," he says.
There's little chance, however, that they wouldn't love his burrata. After I ate mine (and Bonanno's, too), we sat down at the bar at Luca, where he confessed his love for lard, expressed his disdain for fetal duck eggs, admitted that if the grocery store had nothing left but Kraft Singles, he'd still buy two because he's a cheese addict, put forth his wish for Denver chefs to stop littering their plates with too many ingredients, and admitted that another Bonanno restaurant is imminent.
Six words to describe your food: Passionate, simple, clean, honest, modern and consistent.
Ten words to describe you: Lucky, hardworking, comedic, aggressive, opinionated, karmic, determined, provocative and thoughtful.
Favorite ingredient: It changes according to my mood, but right now it's Cure Organic Farm's cauliflower, because it provides countless possibilities to take center stage or assume the role of a supporting character. The last thing I did at Luca was a brown-butter cauliflower purée with mushroom ravioli.
Most overrated ingredient: Spinach. It doesn't have the crunch or spicy bite of, say, kale, Swiss chard or rapini. Spinach is overused, fairly flavorless and produced on a scale that's way too mass for me to respect.
Most undervalued ingredient: Lard is inexpensive, abundant, easily rendered from scratch, and it imparts that rich, nutty, sweet pork flavor to anything lucky enough to soak in it.
Favorite local ingredient: That always changes, but right now, it's a red tomato from Jay Hill Farm, near Boulder, that they taste-tested and bred purely to enhance the flavor of bacon. That tomato makes the best BLT ever.
Rules of conduct in your kitchens: Be creative, express yourself on a plate rather than with words, and don't be the hack that uses tongs.
What's never in your kitchens? Shorts or jeans. It's just not professional.

We need an armoir to fit a 50w space. We have walls R, L and back. The sides of it will not be seen, however we would like to have cherry doors with frame for the front screwed on a playwood carcasses. Is it possible to build something like this saving some money? To buy a cherry armoire to fit a 50wx60hx21d is more than $2k
We have the same problem with a window bench 14' long. We need pretty face frame and door (on the front) and a nice top. I have been asked $1600 for the front, door and top only...is there any way I can have my storage/seating space in cherry in a more economical way. Cabinetry quotes were even worse. Any suggestion would be appreciated |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could use a piece of Baltic birch plywood that comes in 5' square sheets. However, that ply is very light colored and it will be quite difficult to match any cherry color. Plus, any cherry wood(for use in the doors) will naturally age darker, and the colored ply will not. That creates a strange looking piece in just a couple years. You could buy birch doors and use the same stain/dye(which will almost certainly come out a different color than the ply due to the differences in the woods used) and try to get close. That will not be easy. The problems in doing what you want are one reason the costs are so high. |
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Sat, Sep 18, 10 at 20:38
I don't know what you $1600 quote includes but it certainly sounds pretty reasonable. I couldn't sell you a cherry window bench for $115 per foot. |
It includes only face frame and top. we will have to build the boxes |

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Pretty flat course through pleasant countryside, well marshalled with quiet roads.In full: Only downside was the wind as the course is quite exposed in places. Date of review: April 3, 2007
In short: Not a race as such but an excellent experience.In full: Very enjoyable. Lots of hill climbs. Takes in parts of the Berkhamsted half (in reverse mostly). Lots of water, excellent marshalls and a most appreciated cup of tea and a huge cake at the end.Date of review: March 25, 2007
In short: A brilliant course that even awful weather could not ruinIn full: I love this course. The hills are not as tough as some of the other half marathons in that part of the world but they keep things interesting! The rain was really heavy, I had unpleasant chafing injuries in all the usual places and my watch short circuited it got so soaked. It was not cold and the wind was okay most of the time so no big wories.I did have problems getting to the race. The roads and car parks were really busy by 11am. It took me an hour from St Albans. Why is it such a late starting race? It would be better to kick off at 10 or 10:30.Date of review: March 5, 2007
In short: Fantastic scenery, great weather, interesting course and pretty much traffic free.In full: The second time I have run this race and it keeps on growing on me. The course is interesting, up and down hills in quiet woods and rolling farmland. The weather today was fantasic, could not ask for better. The marshalling was good. I had problems getting parked and navigating the one way system. A marshal ran over to direct me the nearest best spot.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Plenty of hills kept it interesting but not too steep, well organised.In full: Like the other posters here, I was a bit discouraged by running round the houses up to mile 3 but it was great after that. Nicely organised, the marshalls were friendly and encouraging. I felt every mince pie and extra slice of turkey consumed over the last week running the downhill sections, groan.Date of review: December 31, 2006
In short: Excellent course with fantastic weather made this a race to rememberIn full: The hills were steep but far from impossible. It made the course interesting. I found the downhill sections much more of a challenge then the two steep uphills. I didn't know pound down them and make up time or take it slowly and save my legs. Well marshalled and traffic was never a problem.Date of review: November 6, 2006
In short: Excellent race. Very well organised. Date of review: October 22, 2006
In short: Great course, very well organised, most generous goody bag and race trophy ever!In full: Very different course to the one I was expecting, the hill at the start was a brilliant warm up and subsequent gradients were all very gentle (apart from that steep downhill). The weather was kind which made for good times. Very well organised, lots of water, parking, decent baggage drop etc. Date of review: July 10, 2006
In short: Good for a PB but too hot on the dayIn full: A well organised, friendly race. Course is pretty much as flat as you are going to get. I was worried it would be dull running laps of the lake and that seeing the race leaders scooting off into the distance would be demoralising. This proved not to be the case. The course is layed out very sensibly in that respect so even though I was well down the field (48mins) it never felt like everybody else was miles ahead. Plenty of water which was essential given the heat which was intense. I think that on a cooler day I could have smashed my PB on this course. As it was, it took all my willpower just to keep going without throwing up. Very fancy medal.Date of review: July 3, 2006
In short: Good course, lots of hills, well organisedDate of review: June 25, 2006

Why you should report homophobic hate
If you don't want to go to the Police, you can always report it to a third party hate crime reporting centre (such as The Lesbian & Gay Foundation).
The only way to tackle homophobic hate is to report every incident. Left unreported, a small incident can lead to further attacks on an individual, becoming serious hate crimes against members of the LGB&T communities.
What can we do about it?
! - Report all incidents of a homophobic nature.
! - Prioritise your own personal safety.
! - Adopt a high profile zero tolerance approach – hate crime against LGB&T people needs to be seen as unacceptable. Join the Enough is Enough Campaign and take Action against Homophobia.
! - Transphobic crime is recorded separately and should be monitored as such.
! - Make sure you know your local hate crime reporting numbers and third party reporting venues. Visit www.lgf.org.uk/hatecrime
! - Seek advice on what to expect when reporting an incident.
Positive about reporting
Research conducted by The Lesbian & Gay Foundation with Merseyside and Greater Manchester Police found that most people were very aware when they had been the victim of a hate incident or hate crime. However, some people make a conscious decision to not take any action about it, or to sort it out themselves.
Those who took part in the research identified the three most important things that would encourage them to report in the future were:
> Knowing they would have a positive experience.
> Being confident that action would be taken.
> Knowing there is a designated contact point.
For example, someone doesn't always have to be arrested. One person who took part in the research said that the perpetrator of the incident against him wrote a letter of apology. The matter has been resolved now and has not been repeated.
The most important thing is getting what YOU need.

The Queue: In which MoP talents are not mopped up {WoW}
Nov 22nd 2011 1:57PM It's not a raid leader's job to hold hands. If you want to raid, you should be putting forth the effort. If everyone else's DPS is fine, it's not fair to them that they have to research their class AND yours. It's not about elitism or any of that. It's about effort, and you CAN pick up thousands of DPS just by reading up and making changes to glyphs, talents, rotations, and reforges. You just have to look for the information and put it in practice.
Of course all this is really subject to the type of raiding guild/group you are in, but effort is universal, and that is probably the real problem, not the numbers themselves.
The Queue: In which MoP talents are not mopped up {WoW}
Nov 22nd 2011 11:28AM He needs to realize that if there was a low percentage wipe, higher DPS on his part might have resulted in a kill instead. When you're raiding, you have to keep in mind that you are part of a team. When your performance is lacking, the other 9 or 24 people are having to pick up your slack.
As readily available as information on this game is these days, there's really no excuse for poor execution. Target dummies are there for a reason. The time spent standing around or leveling alts could be spent tightening up your rotations and committing them to muscle memory. You could also speak with other players that play your spec & class and see if there are any addons that could help. Kudos for staying alive and not dying, now strengthen your performance with solid DPS and a good attitude.
As far as calling your raid leader and his friends "idiots," that's not behavior conducive to keeping a cohesive raid team. Raid leading is not easy. If other raiders see your low DPS and see the raid leader isn't doing anything about it, they may be inclined to slack off since they feel that they don't have to try so hard since others aren't having to do so.
Whisper your raid leader and let him know you're willing to work on it, and ask him to continue the conversation regarding your DPS in whispers and to generalize DPS discussions when in a public channel.

WoW Insider's BlizzCon 2011 predictions {WoW}
Oct 19th 2011 6:03PM Surprised that nobody has said updated player models. They've come up with new models for Orcs, Night Elves, and Humans. With there being no new races or classes likely, this would be the next best thing for them to do with the staff that previously worked on races and classes.
I wouldn't hold my breath, but I wouldn't be too surprised either.
The Queue: I don't want to set the world on fire {WoW}
Oct 18th 2011 11:22AM Totally agree. We have updated models of orcs, humans, night elves, plus practically brand new models already playable in Goblins and Worgen. Considering how rabid the playerbase has been in regards to updated models, it would be a fan-service that I think everyone would be on board with.

« July 2010 Table of Contents
With the Gulf oil spill still making headlines, companies stand to lose business if customers shy away from seafood due to all the negative press. But companies that have built long-term credibility with their customers will do just fine in tough times like these.
The oil spill has the power to sap consumer confidence that Gulf seafood or any seafood is OK to eat, despite the industry's best efforts to declare its products safe.
But the spill is not the first incident to test consumer confidence in seafood and it will not be the last. Think of some of the issues that have garnered national media attention and negatively affected seafood sales over the years: pollution on beaches, depleted fish stocks, bacteria in raw oysters, reports of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in farmed salmon, red tide shutting down New England shellfish harvests, fraud in the form of species substitution and short-weighting, methylmercury in sushi-grade fish and the food-safety fallout in China.
Negative press happens regularly, and every story, whether true or not, carries the potential to damage consumer confidence. It's your job to not let that happen.
Many of the examples noted above are very different and some are more real than others. However, some consumers don't differentiate between sustainability, mislabeling or food-safety issues - they just think that seafood is risky. Therefore, many consumers will only buy seafood from a retailer they trust.
Communicating with customers is important to reassure them that the seafood you offer is safe and wholesome. It is even more important to have a comprehensive 365-days-per-year plan to proactively communicate and promote quality, safety and service. In the case of the Gulf oil spill, well-run seafood retailers can gain customers from competitors that have not built a credible quality image.
Great seafood operators focus first and foremost on sourcing and maintaining great quality seafood through the entire operation until the customer has the product. The best operators also concentrate on training of managers and staff. Doing these two things very well is just the first step. Additionally, it is vital to consistently communicate your high standards for quality, sanitation, safety and service to customers.
How many signs are in a typical supermarket seafood department? I'd bet that most mention product and price. They get noticed, so don't miss an opportunity to sell what happens behind the scenes. Tell your customers about your product's quality, but also tell them how it was sourced, what your store's sanitation and safety-inspection practices include, and how they can enjoy successful seafood preparation at home.
Do your customers know what HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) means? Tell them. If your department inspects fish four times before sale and sanitizes the display cases three times daily, let your shoppers know about it. It builds trust and confidence.
Point-of-sale signs, brochures, the store's weekly ad, recipe cards and good old-fashioned one-on-one customer interaction are all viable methods to communicate a commitment to safe, quality seafood.
Having great quality seafood is not enough in tough times. Retailers that build customer confidence in their product and staff gain business in difficult times, while others risk losing sales.
Retail seafood veteran Chuck Anderson is the director of retail and new business for Sousa Seafood in Boston.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
New: Because the number of credits required by the University to earn a bachelor's degree has been lowered to 120, the Maximum Credits Attempted (150%) Standard in the Financial Aid SAP policy has been lowered from 192 to 180 credits beginning with the Fall 2011 semester.
Appeal Deadline to submit appeal forms is the Friday of mid-term week in Fall and Spring,
or the midpoint of a student's enrollment in Summer.
Spring Deadline is MARCH 6, 2015.
- Appeals for 2014/2015 - Fall 2014, Spring 2015 & Summer 2015
- 14/15 Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
- 14/15 Appeal Forms (Attach All Requested Documentation*)
If an appeal is granted, the student will be placed on a SAP contract. At the end of the contract term, the student must be in compliance with SAP standards or have met the terms of the contract. If the student cannot be in compliance by the end of the contract term, the academic plan must indicate the term in which the student will be in compliance. The student must continue to follow the academic plan until both the proper GPA and the required completion rate of 67% of all credits attempted are achieved.
Students who are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) or are on a SAP contract may experience delays in receiving
financial aid the following term. SAP standards and contract terms, including credits completed and grades, must be reviewed
before the further financial aid can be disbursed. Students who are not in compliance will be denied future financial aid and
may appeal. For further information see "Policy" above.
*Note: In all cases, the outcome of any appeal depends on the nature of the circumstances, the quality of documentation provided, how the circumstances are being resolved or managed, and how well the student has demonstrated whether good progress is being made toward earning a degree.

On June 1, 2007, the Attorney General's Office hosted more than 100 statewide experts for at a Vulnerable Adults Summit. The summit focused on the abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of the vulnerable adult community.
The Vulnerable Adult Initiative: 2008 Final Report
Leesa Manion, Deputy Chief of StaffKing County Prosecuting Attorney's Office
Lynn Mounsey, Assistant Attorney GeneralSpokane Social and Health Services Division
Lori Melchiori, Program ManagerWashington Dept. ofSocial and Health Services Adult Protective Services
Louise Ryan, OmbudsmanWashington State Long Term Care Ombudsman
The summit consisted of a series of breakout sessions with participants forming workgroups to identify and implement solutions, such as methods to improve cross-community coordination and potential legislation.
Issues in Protecting Vulnerable Adults
Audio of selected portions of the program:
Summit participants were tasked by the Attorney General's Office and the summit co-chairs to identify the critical issues impacting vulnerable adults. By the end of the session, summit participants had established a list of nearly 90 areas of concern — issues that could be addressed by lawmakers, caregivers, advocates and the community at large. The full list may be found at http://www.atg.wa.gov/vulnerableadults.aspx.
At the summit's conclusion, participants were asked to identify themselves and others as possible contributors to solution-oriented work groups. Work groups were subsequently assembled and presented their reports to the Attorney General's Office on May 9, 2008.
Their final report was released later that year-- and serves as the basis for legislation requested by the Attorney General's Office in the 2009 and 2010 legislative sessions.

I saw a scene in either a movie or TV show where a man is in a relationship where his feelings for a girl are apparent but the girl does not reciprocate in the same way. He is given an opportunity to change his job location and decides to take it to distance himself from the woman and to avoid any further hurt feelings. I thought it was from The Big Bang Theory but I can't seem to find that episode. Does anyone know what movie or TV show this might be from?

(This is a very personal post. You may not like it. I wrote it because I felt like it.)
As much as I despise the word and the objectification it brings to the minds of people, I've never had a "girlfriend". Some people find that stupid, some people find it horrifying and some people give reactions that lead me to believe I'm not part of a very cultured society.
I've always been very social, perhaps extremely social if you consider me a part of the "computer geek" community. Our kind doesn't really believe in person-to-person meetings. But I've always had a large group of friends and I like to meet new people. No, I don't always like to sit in front of a computer. Yes, you can call me strange.
I've always known so many brilliant and awesome people, that I never found the need to have a female companion. Life is always interesting. But sadly, that's a major point people throw at me, "What do you do when you're bored? Don't you feel like hanging out with someone?". Uh, no. Never felt bored enough that I'd want to hang out with a girl. In fact, why would I want to hang out with a girl only when bored? Over the years, friends have given me "advice" on why I've never had a girlfriend. Some of the responses have been…
- "You're too nice"
- "You're too geeky"
- "You think too much"
- "You're too thin"
- "You don't have a bike!!! You don't have a car?!?!!!"
You get the flow.
Societal norms are the least of my concerns and peer pressure is a joke. But I've had my share of (albeit rare) girls who I have really liked. Evidently, none of them ever got converted to the "relationship" state. The major reason I would attribute that to is my experiences at school. Studying at DPS for almost a decade teaches you more about this stuff than any other education. School had a very open environment, kids came from varying family backgrounds and I saw too many people get together and "break" up. The whole tearjerker saga. It made me apprehensive of getting into a relationship with someone just for the sake of it. My friends are those who I get along with all the time, who I can bank upon. Whenever, I'd want a girl like that. Friend first, everything else later. Somehow, this was a very, VERY hard concept for people to understand. Still is and I don't see why. Hell, there's an entire concept around that idea (Remember friend-zoning?).
So the next time someone asks me the damn question again, you know where they are going to get pointed to.
Totally against my expectations, I received many more calls/messages in the middle of the night than I usually do. Now I don't want to attribute this to my obvious popularity so I will attribute it to the Facebook effect :-)
Jokes apart, I was really touched how sympathetic people were when they realized I was actually studying for my algorithm design exam, which happened to be on 18th. And how nicely I was wished by people whose birthdays I (very shamelessly) forget. I will mention here those noble kind and truly AWESOME friends who ritualistically wished me at 0000 hrs. Those who wished me later, bleh to you! (but thanks anyway.)
- Nitish, my best friend.
- Eshita, my sister, craziness incarnate.
- Rishabh, friend extraordinary.
- Yukti, waaaay too good friend for 10+ years now.
- Gunjan, unquestionably awesome friend, woke up just to wish me!
- Richa, Sonal, Stuti – super-friends! geez, I didn't even wish them on their b'days (I'm sorry!)
- Mili, bus-mate and junior. (whose birthday I knew, but forgot)
- Prateek - prTk, Ruby fanboy and Human Graphical Machina.
- Akshay, Paridhi et al. - yaay! Cousins!

Denali Kovert Series Casting Rods - $129.99 to $149.99
Denali has taken the minimalist concept to a new level with the Denali Kovert Casting Rods. Lightweight, balanced and sensitive, they are here to rescue you from fatigued arms and tired shoulders. Featuring a host of the latest concepts in rod technology, including ultra-sensitive IM-8 graphite blanks and premium semi-microguides, the Kovert Series are designed to help you catch more fish and stay on the water longer. Premium lightweight skeleton reel seats and custom EVA foam handles help reduce weight even further, and each Kovert Series rod also features Denali's trademark stabilized hardwood foregrip for increased sensitivity transfer. Denali continues to live up to their tradition of quality and performance with the Denali Kovert Series Casting Rods. Under today's tough fishing conditions, it pays to go Kovert!
Comments: The line guides are solid almost everything about this rod is great, except for the hook keeper ( i know you can buy one, but i just made and order and dont want to make an order just to get a $3 hook keeper) there must have been glue in the hook keeper and this might not be with all rods but i cant put my hooks through it. But besides that the rod is the best jigging $100-$200 rod.
From: Alex: CA 11/30/14
Comments: I purchased the 7'2 MH it feels more like a M. It is not balanced very well but is pretty light. I do really like the smaller eyes I think there is no worries about the inside falling out of them. The back bone isn't the greatest either for MH. Did fish it for a little while with Texas rig. I did like the fact that my hand touched the blank you could feel a lot but it was uncomfortable to me. I fished it a while with a chatter bait and swim jig. it was pretty good with a chatter bait not the best with a 3/8 swim jig.
From: Jess: Greenwood, IN 9/19/14
Comments: 7'2" Med Hvy Worm/Jig is an amazing rod. The rod is light and very well balanced. Its very sensitive allowing you to feel the lightest bites while having the backbone to muscle in big fish. This is my go to Worm/Jig rod. You can cast a mile with it and cant beat the price.
From: Aaron: Tijeras, NM 9/3/14
Comments: I ended up with two of the 7'2"MH after the Louisiana Oilmans's tournament. this model is more of a moderate fast than fast making it great for braid and ultra low stretch FC. I found it best suited for casting jigs, worms, and carolina rigs. it is noticeably top heavy without an ultralight reel so keep that in mind. sensitivity is decent. it is a nice rod, but i have others that are much more sensitive in this price point.
From: Courtney: LA 8/6/14
Comments: I have the 6'10 crankbait rod paired up with a smoke. it is amazing. I love that combo and I get mad whenever I have to switch to anything else. so comfortable and sensitive. I throw a lot of 1.5's. it casts awesome and even into the wind. I also used it to throw jerkbaits(in a pinch). it performed great, and the handle length was pretty comfortable. I love the kovert and look forward to buying the 7'2 mh.
From: Shane: OH 5/28/14
Comments: I love this rod. I have the 7'2" med heavy and it is perfect for swim jigs and soft plastics. Have it rigged up with a lews speed spool and it's a awesome perfect combo.
From: Thomas: Bastrop, LA 54/10/14
Comments: I have a few rods from Denali and let me start by saying I'm very pleased. The Kovert rods are a winner for me. At this price point can't be beat! I love the 7'2" MH for dragging Spiders on football heads for deep smallies. The big flipping stick is "more than just a flipping stick". The tip is fast enough that you can effectively fish mid size swim baits and C Rig all day. Great quality and I will be getting more!
From: Marc: Methuen, MA 4/9/14
Comments: Have really been impressed with the 6' 10" cranking stick, its one of the few casting rods where I've been able to accurately cast a no.5 shad rap with accuracy and distance. It really loads up nicely on the hookset, and like the mid micro guides. Looking forward to my next Kovert rod.
From: Mark: Eastanolle, GA 2/25/14
Comments: I'm gonna chime in on the 7'2" MH. I REALLY dig mine, it casts great with those micro guide eyes on the end. Its not totally tip-heavy, but it is a little. It ain't no Loomis so don't expect that. I had an eye go bad and start cutting my line, and Denali is replacing the whole rod, which is cool. I fished nothing but 14lb mono and worms on this rod, and slapped a Lews Speed Spool on there, super good combo.
From: Jay6: USA
Comments: Currently I have three Denali Kovert rods. Ive got the 7'8 and 7'2 casting and 7'2 spinning. Let me start by saying that these rods are utterly amazing and high quality for the price. Ive noticed that they are a little on the heavy side but it doesn't bother me. The semi micro guides give the rod superior castability, accuracy, and overall performance. Another thing that ive realized is that with the skeletal reel seat I am able to feel the slightest bite. Personally my strengths in fishing are flipping and pitching and I have thoroughly enjoyed sticking pigs with these bad boys. They are just simply a great rod and hold up great on hooksets. I would highly recommend these rods to anyone.
From: Jacob: Red Oak, TX
Comments: Send me that 6'9 then buddy I would gladly take it off your hands. I have seen Kistlers snap like twigs just because they were dropped on the edge of the boat while landing a fish. I love how people compare one rod to another by a total different company. Why didn't you just by another Kistler in the first place hoss? Koverts are awesome lightweight sensitive and durable. 7'8 is my favorite and it's so much more than a flipping stick! I use it for Carolina rigging, throwing flutter spoons, big worms and football jigs, 10 Xds, and still experimenting.
From: Andrew
Comments: Review:The Denali Kovert line is awesome! The 7'8 is my personal favorite. Super light for a flippin stick and can be used for more than one technique. My kind of rod, will be buying more!
From: Andrew: SC
Comments: The Denali Kovert is a very nice Rod. You can tell that Denali really paid attention to what was important. The rod is very sensitive and you can feel everything, that's going on under the water. I use Duckett, Powell, and Kistler rods and while I would not say the Kovert is better, I would say It is a great rod, well worth the Price and Over all, I'm happy with mine.
From: Kevin: LA
Comments: Got the 6"9" spinnerbait rod and it doenst compare to my Kistler KLX. The Denali weighs in at 4.75oz compared to the KLX at 3.5oz. The Denali has a lot more guides compared to the KLX. Will be returning it and getting another KLX instead.
From: Anthony: Bay Area
Comments: Love the Kovert rods.Used the 7'6"Mh cranking rod what a dream to use.With the micro guides you can cast a crankbait a mile.At this price no other crankbait rod compares.
From: Erick: Richmond VA
Comments: I purchased a 7'6" Med Hvy Cranking rod and love it. This rod is super light and will cast a mile. I couldn't believe how sensitive this rod is for such a light rod. I'm looking forward to my next purchase. Thanks!!
From: Jordan: Indianapolis,IN
Comments: First of all, right out of the tube from Tackle Warehouse, the 7'8" Flippin stick just looks like a powerhouse. The cosmetics on this rod ensure that the company knew which details to pay extra attention to and as far as its fishing ability, it'll butterfly snap kick any largemouth that puts his/her odds against it. The flippin stick has a thick backbone with an extra fast tip perfect for froggin in matted vegetation or flippin Ketucky/Barkley bushes. Two piece reel seats can be risky for some rod manufactures but this one provides an very ergonomic feel and seems to be put together the right way. And especially at this price, this rod is one incredible deal. I heard that these were going to be in stock at some Dicks Sporting goods and some Sportsmans Warehouses so if they are you definitely need to check these rods that are so cool that they'll make you feel like James Bond on the front deck of your boat.
From: Kyler: TN
Comments: awesome line of rods! I've got a 7'6 crank, 7'2 worm&jig, and 7'8 flipping. I am a flipper for the most part and love this flippin stick! Sensitive, light, and very nice looking! I am pleased with all 3 models I purchased and will be buying more!
From: Brad: Lakeland,FL
Comments: I just got the 6'10"med. Kovert 2 weeks ago and have thrown nothing but square bills with it. I am a Kistler man, but this rod I like very much, and it is very reasonably priced.It does a good job on big spots.

I love shade trees. Our condos currently have large Bradford Pears shared between neighbors. When these have to be replaced, the rules require it to now be more of a dogwood, redbud type to prevent root heaving of the concret slabs.
It is my hope to make a case for a larger shade tree. After searching on the internet, I still don't know which trees have roots that will go vertical and not impact the building. Someone said that Pin Oaks are good (I'd love an oak)but I have not verified that is true. Can you give me some direction? Thanks... |

I've read that bald cypress won't do it ('Nanjing Beauty' might work the best as it is more of columnar type for tight spot). Shantung maple probably won't do it and it's much tougher than dogwood or redbud. 25-35 feet over time. |

There is no hard answer for this question. The first question what is the space between the slabs. If insufficient space is allowed, it doesn't matter what you plant, you are going to have problems. I live in a community that thinks a two foot hole cut in concrete is enough to allow a shade tree to survive and grow, and then gets outraged when the tree grows to it's mature size and does what it does. The fault is not of the tree, it's of small minded people who like to think they can control all factors. The greater pity is this...as expensive as it may be to remove and replant, it's still a meager fraction of the cost of replacing a slab. No matter what your information, good luck getting around one. In a practical sense, what you are looking for will determine what you find. Want to see problems with concrete heaving due to tree and root growth? Look aorund you and that is what you will see. However, if that were such a major problem, it's safe to say there would not be a tree planted in any city in America, nor even in many of the small towns. There are other answers. Structural soils are available, designed to limit compaction, allow penetration and growth of roots under structures and slabs. However, they are expensive and require that consideration of such factors be taken into account before construction began. Usually, they are only used in government jobs or other projects that require plants units per density. The best answer I can give? Information is a powerful weapon. I do have some info regarding value of trees and landscaping around, it all came from internet sources. I'll try to locate it and get back with the highlights. Otherwise, start searching under tree value and landsacaping. |

Are these foundation slabs or more in the nature of patios/driveways/pavers? Foundation slabs have footers that make tree root issues no more problematic than they would be if it was an excavated foundation - if the foundation is in good condition and structurally sound, you should have no worries unless shrinkage/heaving of clay soils is present in your sitation. As to the root structure of trees, almost without exception, roots travel horizontally, not vertically. Some tree species will develop tap roots at an early age only to outgrow them as they mature - the majority of any tree roots will be located in the top 12-16 inches of the soil and will extend laterally, often as much as 3-4 times the height of the tree. Otherwise, trees with deeper root systems are generally only found in very arid/desert areas where soil moisture is held deeply underground. |
Thank you for the responses. The local Extention Service said Willow Oaks are good in this application. I throw that in the discussion as a idea. The slab I am concerned about is the foundation slab under four condos and maintained by the association. We are 4 single level units and we share the foundation slab forming a square. Two opposite sides have Bradford Pear trees. They are currently good size trees and about 8 feet from the structure. They are pretty trees and very brittle so replacements are likely. Appreciate your help as I make a case for my tree. The fact mentioned about foundation slabs having a "footer" preventing tree heaving was very interesting. What is a footer? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 12, 08 at 17:33
A footer (more accurately, a 'footing') is a supporting base for a structural element like a wall or foundation slab. It is placed/poured vertically into the soil to a specified depth to anchor the slab or other structure. Typically, all footings are reinforced concrete and the depth of their placement is determined by the both the weight of the structure and the depth to which soil in that area freezes. 36-48 inches is pretty common. You can imagine how difficult it would be for tree roots to damage a structurally sound foundation slab when it is necessary for them to travel 36-48" down underneath the footing and another 36-48" back up to the slab. Just doesn't happen :-) Free-standing slabs (lacking any footings, like is typical with storage sheds, patios, driveways, etc.) are another story. |

7b: but what part of the country? where are you? |
Great information! I am in the Winston-Salem area of North Carolina. I wonder if there is a building code on "footings"? If there is, then I can use that as my standard. It does make sense that that would be one determined root to go down a yard and then back up again. LOL I do love shade trees and hope I can make a case for a larger tree. Thank you for the help. |

You can imagine how difficult it would be for tree roots to damage a structurally sound foundation slab when it is necessary for them to travel 36-48" down underneath the footing and another 36-48" back up to the slab. Just doesn't happen i beg to differ but it does happen. around here footings are generally only 18-24" since we have no frost line, but even with a 48" footing it is possible. it just depends on teh type tree it is growing and how close to the structure it is. tree roots will also find any crack in the footer and force their way thru. in reality the ONLY way to guarantee no tree roots under a slab is to not have any trees even remotely close to it. my grandmother's house has a pine tree root heave her front walk. the closest pine was behind the house, about 60 ft away! and this root ran straight back to it under the house slab. |
DavidandKasie, please expand on your comment - "It just depends on the type tree it is growing and how close to the structure it is." Are you aware just which trees are better to be close to a sturcture and if so, that answers my question? I would rather beat this out in this forum than address our board and get called up short by a local expert in the condo group. Thanks so much for the details. |
