Cataclysm novel slated for August, 2010 {WoW}
Nov 6th 2009 3:11PM Well, I suppose the last chapter is really a denouement. You still get the "core" story in the preceding chapters. The last one is more of a luxury item that some people will have no problem spending extra money on. After all, they're a business and if people will pay it they can charge whatever they want!

A: That's a tough call -- Druids already don't see their gear very much, and we think that's a problem. So I would be hesisitant to say "you can't even see your mounts." We've talked about is it time for epic travel form. Maybe that's something to break out in Cataclysm.

Craster's Keep: This guy again. Notice how grey and smoky and miserable his place looks. Craster gives shelter to the Lord Commander and the surviving Night's Watch members. He's a lousy host and the Night's Watch are lousy guests. Everybody is miserable with this situation.
They hear screams and Craster says the screamer "can bite down on a rag or she can bite down on my fist -- women!" Then, as if we don't dislike Craster enough already, he suggests if the Lord Commander's men are hungry they should eat Samwell, declaring, "He's a walking feast!" Samwell looks scared, as if this possibility might have previously occurred to him.
Samwell goes wandering around outside, like, Hey, I wonder who's all screaming in agony anyway? He finds his secret crush Gily all sweaty and birth-y and howling. He just kind of gawks at her, looking vaguely horrified. This is probably not the nicest way for a virgin like Sam to be introduced to a vagina. She has her baby and cries, "What is it?! What is it?!" -- because, you'll recall, Craster sacrifices boy-babies to the White Walkers while the girls enjoy a empowering life as one of his rape slaves. It's the circle of life, Craster style.
Castle: The Boy releases tortured Theon as he promised. He gives him a horse and tells him to ride East, that his sister is waiting for him. Theon has never been so relieved. He promises the Boy a lordship in the Iron Islands (gee thanks, Theon, that's like getting a timeshare in El Paso). Also, Theon didn't even bother to get the Boy's name. Oh Theon, all that torture still hasn't made you a nice person.
Dragonstone: Melisandre is leaving. I'm okay with that. Her hair is pulled up and she looks much less witchy that way. She's going on a mysterious mission. Stannis whines, "I want Joffrey dead ... I want Robb Stark dead..." To accomplish this, he wants to make another demon baby. And why wouldn't he? No feeding it, no changing it, no raising it -- that smoky-ink thing just kills your enemies and vanishes. Who doesn't want a demon baby? But Melisandre says the effort would kill him. She says she will find somebody else with royal blood to accomplish this task. Stannis doesn't like this. He's probably thinking: So you're going to have sex with some other guy then?
Astapor: Back to Dany. Seems this city Astapor is so proud of its slave city status it has created a scenic attraction called The Walk of Punishment. This is where disobedient slaves are crucified for public display. And just look at that ocean view! Honey, go stand there next to the bloody slave with the dislocated shoulders, I want to get a photo. Dany, naturally, is horrified. This outdoor mall is soulless, depressing and blind to its own fundamental evil; just like the Universal CityWalk.
She tries to give one of the dying men water. He looks at her like: I don't want this to last longer you idiot!
NEXT: Dragon auction!

Chicken Chili Chowder Recipe
One chilly April afternoon, I craved a hearty soup but had less than an hour to prepare a meal. I came up with this chowder that uses pantry ingredients, and everyone thought it hit the spot. —Jenna Rempe, Lincoln, NE
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 5 medium red potatoes, cubed
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1/2 cup salsa verde
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
- 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
- Shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, optional
- Saute onion in oil in a large saucepan until tender. Add potatoes, broth, soup, salsa and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in the chicken, beans and corn; heat through. Serve with cheese and sour cream if desired. Yield: 6 servings (2 quarts).

"We really enjoyed this. I freeze a lot of soups since it is only my husband and I. Potatoes don't freeze we'll sometimes so I omitted them. They weren't missed at all. But...I guess it's not a "chowder" anymore!"
Reviewed Apr. 22, 2013
"This was fabulous! Very flavorful! My daughters are picky, so I omitted the beans, onion & canola oil. I also was running late on time, so I used canned chicken chunks. I had planned on regular chicken, but honestly, for a last minute substitute, it worked out just fine! I served this with tortilla chips, sour cream and cheese. It's my new favorite soup!"
Reviewed Mar. 8, 2013
"I made it for about 20 coworkers and served it with a side of plain egg noodles. It was a hit!"

I have a hillside that is covered mostly with Vinca Minor (Myrtle)and is growing very well on most of the hillside. There are some bare spots and thin areas and I would like to fill those areas from the areas that are thick and full.
What is the best way to do this ? Can I cut plugs with a bulb planter ? When is the best time of year to do this ? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Actually being, perhaps, too patient, I would amend the soil in the sparse areas, depending on the invasive tendencies of the Vinca to move in. If the soil was suitable the Vinca would already be there, since it's design is to cover our entire planet. |
I have amended those sparse areas with an inch or 2 of leaf compost from the municipality where I live and loosened the soil with a digging bar and pick-ax. Do you think it would be a good idea to spread some nitrogen rich fertilizer to promote growth to these areas ? |
Knowing how nothing stops it here, it is a mystery to me. I, generally, do not try to force growth with high Nitrogen and I use slow-release sorts. |

The Department of Justice issued new national medical guidelines yesterday revising the 2004 standard of care for victims of sexual assault. Instead of focusing on the criminal justice aspect of evidence collection during the medical exams, the emphasis now is to support the victim's health needs — including offering female victims yemergency contraception or information on how to obtain EC. The guidelines also encourage victims to undergo forensic evidence collection, even if she does not plan to report the rape to police immediately, and stipulates how evidence should be collected and what equipment should be used to do so. As explained by The New York Times, "The guidelines emphasize that the rape victim's physical and emotional needs should take precedence over criminal justice considerations." Keep reading »

Get Organized!
I have always been fascinated by the art work that is based off of recycled material. I myself try to recycle anything that I possibly can and try to reuse it in any way I can. Not only are you saving money, you are also doing good for the environment. When I saw our new gift Recycled Leather Roo Organizer I was blown away. This "Roo Organizer" is compact and has multiple uses as well. I would just summarize it as "desk friendly". Love it's unique design and not to mention it's color! This gift is now on my "to buy" list.

-Will use a nest box - Benefits: eat mosquitoes, flying carpenter ants and wasps.
Mount nest box as high as possible. Paint (black) around the hole and in the hole so the birds can see "a hole" from a distance. Violet Greens take many days to figure out if a nest box is safe to go into, so drill holes in the bottom 4 corners of the floor, or cut the corners off before installing the floor. This will allow light in so they can see there is no danger in the box. After the nest is made, the holes will allow water to run out. V/Gs will be looking for nest sites very early in the morning. If the roof is over the sides(overhang) then you could also have a small hole in the side facing the morning sun, this will help in getting light in when they first come for a look.
House can be any shape. Minimum inside space is 4" by 4", but bigger is better. An ideal size would be an inside floor of 5" by 5" by 6" tall in the front, with the roof facing forward, so higher in the back If the box is tall, install a ladder on the inside of the box so birds can climb out (eg. chicken wire). Outside of the nest box may be painted to blend in with the colour of your home. The box must be able to open to clean it out.
There should be no perch on the outside of the nest box, as other birds may harass the occupants. Mount the nest box where squirrels can not get at it. Make the hole size so the house sparrows can not get in. This is an oval shaped hole. Please see instruction sheet on how to make this hole. House sparrows kill other birds like swallows. If you allow house sparrows in your nest boxes then you are contributing to the city spraying for mosquitoes(that could carry West Nile virus) as violet green swallows feed on mosquitoes – sparrows do not. Spraying could lead to the decline in general health of people (eg. asthma). VG swallows also feed on flying carpenter ants(so could protect your home from these insects).
If an existing box has a hole that is too big, then make the
proper hole size in a 3/4" thick piece of hardwood. Then mount
this block of wood with the oval hole in it to the outside of your
nest box. The best nest boxes are the ones which have this block on
the front of an existing bird house, as this prevents English House
sparrows from sticking their heads in the box.
Feathers\Fun Stuff
Swallows will return to the same location every spring to
build a new nest. To have some fun with the swallows, you can hold up
small downy feathers. When you get their attention, blow the feather
up into the air. They will come grab it before it hits the ground and
use it for nest building. Try to wear the same hat and jacket every
time you want to give them a feather. Then they will know it is
"feather time". This is very entertaining. In the fall,
when the birds are gone, clean out the nest box. You could spray the
nest box with a mild solution of bleach.

Making computers work is one thing, but making computers work together is something else. Network technicians are the skilled professionals who tackle the latter task, and most agree that there's a lot more to networking than just shaking hands.
Businesses and other organizations rely on network techs to make sure computers are connected to each other, to the Web, to e-mail servers and other essential hardware. Networking is what makes individual workstations communicate, and these systems can be fairly complex.
Network technicians can be compared to architects, as they often build LANs, WANs, intranets and other data communication systems from the ground up. These systems can connect PCs in neighboring cubicles or computers on opposite sides of the world; they can connect just a few systems or thousands of terminals and multiple servers. Additionally, network technicians often perform tasks including network planning and modeling, which many times involves determining both hardware and software solutions.
Each network is custom-tailored to best meet the information needs of the business or organization, and each network is unvaryingly messy--problems can arise, employees struggle with the new system, passwords and files can change, software can be updated, backup files must be saved, communications lines can be broken and then must be reestablished, and the possibilities go on and on. Network technicians should be prepared to deal with these situations, and any others that might come up within the group.
What is the job outlook for network technicians?
According to information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for network technicians is excellent, with 30 percent growth expected in this field by 2018. This growth is much, much faster than average.
Growth in this sector is attributed to many factors. Computer networks are becoming an integral part of today's business world, and demand for skilled workers like network techs will likely increase because firms are expected to continually invest in new technologies and applications. BLS data also indicates that expansion of mobile technologies also means that more organizations are likely to use the Internet to conduct business online. This growth translates into a need for systems administrators who can help organizations use technology on the go to communicate with staff, consumers and clients. Other driving factors in growth are likely to stem from increased interest in network security and the boom in wireless and mobile clients.
A recent report from TechRupblic, an online information source for IT professionals, indicates that those specializing in network systems and data communications--including network technicians--are members of the fastest-growing IT field. The report suggests that 140,000 jobs will be added in this area of specialization during the next five years.
What is the salary range for network technicians?
As in most occupations, salary for network technicians can vary. According to the 2011 TechRepublic report, IT pros with networking specialization earned $73,800 a year. Computerworld's 2011 annual salary survey found more favorable results for those with networking tech careers. The survey found that:
- Entry-level network architects earned base salaries of $96,997
- Entry-level network engineers earned base salaries of $74,610
- Entry-level network administrators earned base salaries of $63,073
Those with a little more experience also earned competitive wages according to the Computerworld survey, as mid-level network managers took in base salaries of $84,346 and bonuses of $6,157 for total earnings of $90,503.
What does it take to become a network technician?
Two-year degrees, four-year degrees, certification and additional networking classes can all provide the needed background and skills to become a network technician. BLS data suggests that those with the proper certs might be better job candidates in the competitive IT field, so it's important to be aware of which accreditations show the most proficiency in this field.
Several vendors offer networking technician certs. Here's a quick rundown of some of the options:
- Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification "validates the ability to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security," according to vendor information. This cert has no prerequisites, and is likely a good starting point for those who wish to become a network technician.
- CompTIA Network+ certification covers the latest skills needed by technicians, including the basics on how to secure a network. The vendor recommends that candidates for this accreditation have at least nine months of networking experience and hold the CompTIA A+ cert.
- The Certified Novell Engineer cert displays a professional's ability to support a wide range of networks and shows a candidate's ability to "perform planning, installation, configuration, troubleshooting and upgrade services for networks," according to vendor information.
With so many opportunities for growth and a wide range of training options, those who wish to become network technicians are likely to find plenty of choices when it comes to launching or furthering their IT careers.

Quoted from Spring I haven't been able to take Benadryl for over thirty years. Makes me have really bad chest pains. Have you tried stinging nettle? Works wonders for many people. I love it.
Quoted from Beachgirl I can only take the children's liquid when absolutely necessary & I only take 2 tsp., not 4. The adult version gives me chest pains & tachycardia as well.
Quoted from 18545 Benadryl messes with me too...makes me feel like I'm dying.
Quoted from Victoria Stopped taking it at least 5 years ago. Even then, I bought only the dye-free version, clear, in a gel cap. For many years, I rely on Bromelain/Quercetin combo and Nettle leaf. And daily nasal/sinus saline rinses as needed. Also saline eye cup rinses when my eyes are affected.
Quoted from Rodney benadryl and Sudogest have been keeping me breathing for the last few weeks.. Arg.first Judy then I came down with a horrible head cold which turned in to a full blown sinus and ear infection. I hate taking the meds but have no choice, the headaches due to pressure are unbearable if we don't have some thing to keep things moving. adding this and sleep apnea which I was recently diagnosed with has been a real challenge to say the least. BTW hope everyone is doing well.
Quoted from deblynn3 I take the Allergy & Sinus Headache after two days worth of headache. My only allergy symptom left now that I take quercetin everyday and drink lots of yerba mate tea.The allergy protocol by nap is great, their stone root will help heal your membranes. Worked great for BD.
Quoted from Seraffa If you are taking quercetin every day, do you mind if I ask what allergens are in your area?
Quoted from Seraffa Sorry - I wrote milk thistle instead of stinging nettle. Yes I took my stinging nettle and didn't know whether it has to "build up" in the system to go into effect, or not.
Quoted from gulfcoastguy I carry it around in case of stinging insects. BTW did you know that some roaches can sting? Thankfully fireants aren't on the list.
Quoted from deblynn3 (I've been taking quercetin for about 2 1/2years)
Quoted from Seraffa We are doing ok here (thank you!!) no more fighting; my mother needs to change her depression and ADD meds because of her condition; it's a journey of observation and learning along WITH her. BTW the pollen counts rise and fall over here and its only lately I'm starting to identify which pollinates when. This week its GRASSES......
Quoted from 14442 I took a lot of benadryl as a kid.

Harvard Kennedy School offers two-year master's degree candidates the opportunity to earn a second master's degree with a number of professional schools at Harvard or selected professional schools at other universities in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately. An MBA and a MPP, MPA/ID or MPA degree can be earned in three years rather than four; a JD and MPP, MPA/ID or MPA in four years rather than five. An MD degree can be combined with any HKS two-year degree in five years rather than four.
Applicants apply to each school separately and, if admitted to both, spend the first year of the program at one school and the second at the other. The final year of the program is split between the two schools. The two degrees may not be completed separately and both degrees must be awarded at the same time. At no time may a student be enrolled in a combined degree with more than one other school.
Chris Hurst, MPA-ID/MBA 2013, Director of Risk Management, Mercy Corps
"The HBS-HKS joint-degree program gave me a fantastic peer and faculty network…a chance to dive deeply into big problems, with people who are passionate about solving them…a chance to develop friends from all over the world, who have done incredible things…a chance to feel challenged, and inspired…to risk, to fail, to win…to build new tools in organizing others…to explore a career shift… three of the best years of my life."

Why I love Canva and You Should Too
Photoshop can be daunting for many people, myself included. There are so many things that can be done using Photoshop but I don't have the time OR willingness to learn. In its Beta stage, I was given an invite to try out Canva – a tool to make design simple for everyone. To be honest, I never tried it while in its infancy stage, until a few weeks ago.
If you haven't heard of Canva yet, you're in for a real treat! With Canva, you can create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more. Best of all, it's FREE! Or pick from their library of more than 1 million premium images for $1. Continue reading


text: At Aneri, our ideology is to create apparel that caters to each individuals preference and body type. Aneri is a women's wear ethnic brand that offers elegantly designed Tunics, Kurtis, Salwar Kameez, Leggings and Dupattas. Our differentiator lies in the hands of our artisans, who design and create exquisite embroidery that has propelled Aneri into a leading brand for womens apparel today. Brand Aneri was first launched in Pune as a fashion house at Pyramids in 2002. In July 2008, Aneri started its alliance with Central by acquiring two shop-in-shop stores. The brand is now firmly established across India and is available in prominent department stores and boutiques. Aneri is also available online at Myntra.com and Jabong.com The company found its roots as a boutique in Chennai and Mumbai named Gypsy Rose where it was established as a brand in 1982. This allowed the designer to showcase her talent and explore her passion for designing clothes. She introduced the concept of ready-to-wear Salwar Kameezes. Emboldened by the warm reception and its growing acceptance by the fashion conscious women of Chennai and Mumbai, the boutique embarked upon a trajectory of expansion. The traditional sari was soon taken over by the Salwar Kameez craze.

The Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) was formed in 1992 to promote the Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation. This model legislation was originally drafted by the Source Reduction Council of CONEG in 1989. It was developed in an effort to reduce the amount of heavy metals in packaging and packaging components that are sold or distributed throughout the United States.
Quick Links/News
- TPCH Launches Next XRF Screening Project
- TPCH FY14 Annual Report Highlights now available
- TPCH introduces new logo. Website redesign coming soon.
- NOTICE on Glass Packaging Screening Results
- TPCH report and guidance on testing glass packaging samples
- Press release on testing glass packaging
- NOTICE on Packaging Certification Claims
Specifically, the law is designed to phase out the use and presence of mercury, lead, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in packaging within four years in states that enact the legislation.
Since packaging comprises approximately one-third of the waste stream, it is hoped that this legislation will curb the amount of heavy metals entering the municipal solid waste stream and, ultimately, landfills and incinerators. A reduced contribution of these metals to the waste stream will gradually lower their harmful presence in the environment.
The Clearinghouse includes a states-only voting membership and an industry/public interest advisory group. The legislation has been successfully adopted by nineteen states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Other states, as well as the U.S. Congress, have also considered the legislation.
TPCH is located at the Northeast Recycling Council, Inc. (NERC) in Brattleboro, Vermont. NERC manages and performs all administrative functions for the Clearinghouse on behalf of member states.

All the oil pumped down Enbridge's North B.C. pipeline will be spilled
Meanwhile in B.C., our government passed a law requiring our citizens and businesses to cut climate damage by 33 per cent in the next decade. That is going to take a lot of hard work and money to pull off. To help meet our goal we pay $25 for every tonne of CO2 we spill into the atmosphere. But this one proposed pipeline across BC would wipe out all our climate efforts more than eight times over. Not only does it wipe out our efforts but neither the private oil companies nor China plan to pay a carbon tax on it like we have to.
In fact, we could literally stop using all fossil fuels in B.C. -- turn off the heat in all buildings, abandon all vehicles, ships, planes and close every factory and industry and fossil fuel power plant – and not come close to offsetting the climate damage that will be spilled from this proposed pipeline.
Will our BC Premier Christy Clark approve a project that makes a complete mockery of the very climate efforts her government requires of its own citizens? Will there be a double standard where she gives the thumbs up for China to dump as much of our Crown-carbon that they want without even paying any carbon tax, but make it illegal for British Columbians to do the same? Will her recent hiring of a former Enbridge lobbyist as her new chief-of-staff bias her decision? Will foreign interests get a better deal than BC citizens on our own nation's oil?
The 150 MtCO2 of new climate damage guaranteed to be spilled as a result of the proposed ENGPA will wipe out all efforts by all Canadians to cut climate pollution.
Game over.
The world's most important climate scientist, James Hansen of NASA, said that this plan by private oil corporations to radically expand extraction of climate damage out of the tar sands will mean "game over" for our climate. The staid International Energy Agency says that we need to stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure or bring on a climate "catastrophe".
Despite the clear threat, a few private oil corporations, with the aid and blessing of the Harper and Alberta Governments, are already actively pushing two more gigantic pipelines across BC in addition to Enbridge's "Northern Gateway Pipeline to our Atmosphere".
The Enbridge documents show that private oil corporations operating in Alberta plan to ratchet up the climate damage they extract from the tar sands to a staggering one billion tonnes of CO2 per year by 2035. That is double the climate damage from all fossil fuel burning for everything else in Canada. It will overwhelm every effort by every other part of Canadian society to stop climate change.
These private oil corporations will also need to build the equivalent of fifteen more pipelines the size of the one existing pipeline (foreign-owned Kinder Morgan TMX) that currently crosses B.C.
Along the way every single one of those additional billions and billions of gallons of tar sands oil will get spilled into our environment…one way or the other.

Thanks for revealing the contradictions that most politicians and citizens don't want to accept.
It Is So Simple
It is so simple. I wish! Every day the world consumes the equivalent of 225 million barrels of oil equivalent in total energy. Say no to Canadian Oil? Okay. People do not want hydro electricity? Okay. People do not want 100,000's of massive wind mills in their backyards. Okay. People do not want to have to pay 3x more for solar electricity. Okay. People do not want coal power. Okay, say good bye to 50% of our electricity in Canada and the US. It is so simple, people want to all move to the equator so we consume no electricity, natural gas, and oil so stay warm, light our homes, produce our basic materials for clothes, our homes, and the automobiles that will get us all to the equator from way up here in Canada! Sounds like a plan! Keep on writing, excellent work here!
Pipeline Abandonment
They start projects like this and look at the current impact. They need to look at the lifelong impact though. Not just now, but until the pipe is out of the ground. Are they going to dig it back up - or will it be spilling for decades after they are done using it.
That in conjunction with the mess now of producing and burning it should be enough to offer much further reflection on the viability.
Reply to Small Town Hick
Abondonement of pipelines? If pipeline is abonded, we are not going to leave hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil in it at $100 per barrel. Seepage from residual oil is required by Canadian law to be remediated and there is an entire industry that responds to deal with these sites. Same policy applies to gas stations when they are sold and the zoning perscriptions for the land change. In these instances the law requires the soil to be cleaned. I hope this answers your question?
I agree, it is so simple
Joseph Fournier, nobody is saying "no to Canadian Oil." People are saying "no" to a radical expansion of the tar sands. The reason is that it is so big and so dirty a source of energy that radical expansion of it threatens the prosperity of future generations. People are saying we have enough oil production in Canada, we need -- like the IEA says -- to transition to alternatives that don't destabilize our climate to the point of "catastrophe".
We most certainly are going to leave millions of barrels of oil in the ground. We don't have a choice unless we repeal the laws of physics and chemistry. The only question is how big a carbon bubble we are going to inflate before we are forced to pop it.
Oil Powered Vehicles Deadly to People and Animals
The energy released by the burning of the oil is also deadly to people and animals. 1.2 million people are killed per year in motor vehicle collisions and pretty much all of these vehilices are powered by oil. Hundreds of millions of animals are also killed. I calculated that the oil spilled by BP in the gulf could have killed more animals if it was not spilled and burnt in motor vehicles instead.

A fourth senior staff person is leaving the District of Sechelt since council took office last November.
Chief financial officer (CFO) Andrea DeBucy tendered her resignation on Nov. 23. Under her contract, she must give 45 days notice of her departure, making her official last day Jan. 7, 2013.
Sechelt let go chief administrative officer (CAO) Rob Bremner in March, followed by their corporate officer JoAnne Frank in May. Manager of sustainability and special projects Emanuel Machado left the District in September to take the vacant CAO position at the Town of Gibsons.
DeBucy would not give a reason for her resignation, which signals the end of a long career in public service.
"I've had a very fulfilling career as a public servant and I really mean that. I've enjoyed it for 33 years and I'm going to retire from that now unless something else comes up. It's quite possible, but right now I don't have anything particular in mind," she said.
DeBucy was a provincial government agent for 13 years with Service B.C. and spent 10 years working as an accountant and assistant administrator in hospital settings. She also worked for six years with school districts and held her position at the District of Sechelt for four years.
Upon news of her resignation Nov. 23, three councillors sent messages saying she would be missed.
"You have been vigilant at holding our feet to the fire, giving clear, concise and complete financial reports to council. I will miss your commitment and strong work ethic.The role you have taken here in Sechelt will be difficult to fill," said Coun. Alice Lutes.
Councillors Mike Shanks and Tom Lamb also sent messages to DeBucy.
"This is yet another sad day for Sechelt, but I am not surprised," Shanks wrote. "Thank you for the contributions you have made to the financial well being of our municipality over the last four years in dealing with our financial issues."
Mayor John Henderson said DeBucy's decision was "entirely fine," but that he's "never happy to see someone leave."
The District plans to use a headhunter to find someone to fill the position and Henderson hopes to have a new CFO named soon.
Headhunters were used to try to fill the positions left vacant by Bremner and Frank, with limited success, he said.
Through that process, Bremner was ultimately replaced with Randy Stoyko, chief of innovation and growth, and a temporary replacement was found for Frank in interim corporate officer Gerry van der Wolf.
Henderson said the District is still trying to find a permanent person for the corporate officer position; however, they don't plan to hire another manager of sustainability and special projects.
To date the District has paid $50,176 in headhunters' fees to the firm Western Management Consultants.
Interim chief administration officer Rick Beauchamp was also paid $57,158 to help out the District from April 3 to July 5. Henderson said van der Wolf makes about $75 an hour, which is a bit more than a full-time person would make, "because we don't pay benefits, we don't pay pensions. He has to take care of his own taxes and all that kind of stuff."
The high turnover and needed expenditures to keep the District running are "not uncommon in the municipal world" according to Henderson.
"We got elected as council to do a number of things, and I think one of the key ones was to strengthen and deepen the capabilities of our team. So when you have that focus and that objective, inevitably there will be changes in manpower," Henderson said, noting the District found a good fit in Stoyko. "So it's a challenge, but it's also a real opportunity when these sort of situations occur, and that's what we're taking this to be with Andrea's departure."
DeBucy said although news of her retirement comes around the same time Lutes was ousted from her committee appointments, the timing is only "coincidental."

PROJECT: Reclaim
PROJECT: Reclaim is a home ownership program created in collaboration between Urban Homeworks and City of Lakes Community Land Trust. The program facilitates successful home ownership—helping to create healthy, vibrant and sustaining communities.
About PROJECT: Reclaim
PROJECT: Reclaim homes are sold through a contract-for-deed program, giving families desiring home ownership the financial space and time to improve their stability and become able to conventionally finance a home. It is designated for households that have been declined a regular mortgage due to credit challenges.
How PROJECT: Reclaim Works
PROJECT: Reclaim takes boarded, condemned or foreclosed properties and restores them with the effort of trainees and volunteers. These houses are available to low- to moderate-income families who have credit challenges and face additional challenges due to market conditions and tightened financing guidelines. The homes are sold through a low-interest contract for deed. A portion of the interest is placed into a reserve account for the homeowner to use as a down payment at the time of refinance.
Each family agrees to an action plan to address credit enhancement and a number of preparation items, thus increasing their understanding and readiness for homeownership. When families can move from renting to owning, they not only have a place to call home, but they also become more engaged in the life of their community and now control the destiny of their housing.
Program Highlights
- Competitive interest rate
- Home values range between $100,000 and $170,000
- Rehabilitated homes with great attention to detail and stringent construction standards
- Initial term up to 24 months
- Homes are provided through a partnership between Urban Homeworks and City of Lakes Community Land Trust (resale restrictions apply; visit clclt.org for more information)
Determine Your Eligibility
- You plan to purchase a home in Minneapolis
- Your household income is greater than $30,000 annually
- You have at least 500 credit score
- You do not qualify for a conventional mortgage
- You need a credit enhancement program to minimize debt and increase credit score within the terms of the contract period
- Your household income is less than the following amounts based on:
o 1 Person $45,500
o 2 People $52,000
o 3 People $58,500
o 4 People $65,000
o 5 People $70,200
o 6 People $75,400
o 7 People $80,600
o 8 People $85,800

Everyone is clamoring for the No. 1 spot in the great gay Christian debate. For some, it isn't enough that people hold to a traditional, conservative, and biblical sexual ethic; they also want to emphasize that homosexual sexual expression is more egregious than other sexual sins and deserves greater judgment and eternal consequence. Others insist that there are no scriptural mandates limiting homosexual sexual expression for believers. While most of us would never even question heterosexual sexual ethics, some seem fine with making special exceptions for the gay or lesbian person.
The arguments are never-ending, one-dimensional, and secondary, at best, in the grand scheme of things. None of this is rocket science. I am not a Bible scholar (though I greatly appreciate them and their role in my life and in this discussion), but I am a believer in the one true Christ and nothing gets more attention or time in my life than He does. While "theologian" isn't in my title, I do take studying God's Word seriously and read it more than anything else. So, as others identify as Wesleyan Arminian Christians, Calvinist Christians, Anabaptist Christians, gay or ex-gay Christians, I have to admit I am just, simply, irrevocably, a Christian.

I was quite excited to get my DC Comics gift! You see, although I have always enjoyed all things superhero, I never got into the actual comics as a kid. I had no excuse... all my friends loved them, I loved the movies and the stories - I just never bought a single one. Well, now I'm 37 and I recently started reading some graphic novels and it hit me that I really do love the format. The ability to tell a story in so little words and with an artistic flavor that books just can't match.
So it was at this stage I signed up for the DC Comics Redditgifts exchange.
Boy did I luck out! My match knew of my lack of "experience" and picked out, not one, but four amazing books to start me out! I don't know how much he spent, but the retail on EACH of these books is like 25 bucks on average. I really appreciate his generosity.
In case you can't make them all out, I got:

Former Badgers forward, Leuer, traded to Grizzlies
Former Wisconsin Badgers and Milwaukee Bucks forward, Jon Leuer is on the move again. The 6'10" Leuer has been traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward Marreese Speights, guards Wayne Ellington and Josh Selby, and a future first round draft pick.
For the Grizzlies, who are currently the 4th best team in the west (26-14), this was a cost cutting move.
Leuer, in his second year in the NBA, has played in only nine games this season and is averaging 2.4 points per game and 1.4 rebounds per game.
Drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 40th overall selection in the 2011 NBA draft, Leuer was traded to the Houston Rockets along with forward John Brockman, and guard Shaun Livingston in exchange for center Samuel Dalembert.
The Bucks also exchanged first round picks with the Rockets in the 2012 draft. Moving down from 12 to 14, the Bucks chose 6'10' forward John Henson from North Carolina.

Hi out there,
I'm thinking I should be able to cram a couple or five dwarf fruit trees along the back of my garden. Most of my gardening has been in California and Colorado (both very different from New England), so I could use some advice. I looked for Extension Service factsheets or the equivalent and didn't see any out there. Anybody have any suggestions for good varieties of fruit trees (dwarf, pls) for Salem, MA? And what types of diseases or pests should I be looking out for? Should I be trying to get varieties that are resistant to any particular diseases, like fireblight? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have, Marcia Morrison

I don't grow fruit trees, so I can't offer any advice on varieties, but the MA extension service has some great information on line at the link below. I DO grow blueberries, and they do really well around here - not sure if you're interested in those or not. |
Here is a link that might be useful: fact sheets at MA Ext
Marcia, The growing of stone fruit in my neck of the woods along the coast is discouraged if not close to impossible due to the propensity of disease and general lack of environment that makes them happy. If I were you I would begin by noting how close you are to the nearest orchard and if you can discover what varieties they grow. You might even go and ask the local orchard owner for advice. My key question would be in a year with average rainfall how often do they spray. The answer will be very telling even if you are hoping to grow organic stone fruit. Good luck and let us know what you decide. |
Wow! What I have been hearing from fruit people in my part of MA/NH (near Lowell) is that apples are a poor choice -- too many pests -- but peaches are a good one! Pears are significantly better than apples. In my yard, unsprayed apples are a mess, pears better, and cherries seem to be fine (but the birds get them all!). And the blackberries are incredible... Trying to think what resources I can politely point to here -- the Fruit and Orchards gardenweb forum is fantastic! I also have the name of a good orchard consultant who is now in central MA (formerly here). Some of our more popular pests and diseases: plum curculio, apple maggot, codling moth, aphids; apple scab, black spot, fire blight, pear psylla. I used to get the MA Extension newsletters, but now they charge $$ even for the email subscription. Also... first pick your varieties, then the size that you want (most catalogues offer semidwarf rootstocks but some will give you a choice). |

I had a friend who was ecstatic when he found a house for sale that included an orchard. He finally realized that the seller was probably moving just to get away from the endless spraying. That said, we had an old pear tree at my first house, which was never sprayed or fed, and it produced quite a few nice pears every year. The $64 Tomato is a great book for anyone contemplating growing fruit; the title is about a vegetable garden, but the author begins his agricultural adventure with an orchard. He remembers beautiful apples from an unsprayed tree in the yard of his childhood home, and tries to recapture that - not very successfully. |
Marcia: I usually read these posts at work, not at home where my copy of New England Gardener's Book of Lists by Karan Cutler is . It is a great book because it has lists of recommendations from New England professionals. However, as pointed out above some factors are very local. I don't grow fruit trees, but have been looking at fruit tree sites. Most of the fruit trees you buy are grafted, so it appears that you can purchase almost any type of apple (and many other types of fruit) on dwarf root stock. |

Hi Marcia - UMass Fuit Advisor is a great source. They list many techniques and disease resistant varieties - there are even pruning videos set to msic! |

Interesting note about beautiful apples from the unsprayed trees. I recall the same thing!!! I wonder what has changed so much. |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Zone7ish (My Page) on Sat, Mar 5, 11 at 17:58
Evonnestoryteller, if I remember correctly, the "secret" to the author's dad's apples was that he sprayed the heck out of them, with the most toxic stuff he could get his hands on, when the kids were away from the yard. LOL, when I read that I felt much better about "what has changed so much" since the good old days. |

I have an Easytouch 8 system and would like to be able to dim my pool lights. I know that the easytouch wont do this, but couldnt I put standard dimmers in line after the easytouch relay and just set the dimmers manually while still being able to turn them on and off with the easytouch?
Has anyone done this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
While it's possible, the next question is what lights specifically are you trying to dim? Scott |
I have an infinity edge pool with 2x300 watt lights in the main pool, a 100 watt light in the catch basin, and a separately switched 100 watt light in the spa. I would like to be able to dim the spa and main pool quite a bit. Right now when the lights are on, it is so bright in the pool. I would like it to just glow. If that makes sense? |
Sure you can use regular dimmers it's much cheaper than putting in the dimming module. The exception would be LED lights. I heard some dimmable ones were on their way to market, but I don't think anything currently available dims. |
Mix, Unfortunatly you are right and they didnt include that option with the Easytouch. Yes you can use a normal dimmer to accomplish this. You can install it before or after the contact, it doesnt care. Just remember most dimmers are 300w or 600w. You will want to pick up a 1000w to dim the two 300's, and the 100 all at once. If you gang two dimmers in one box, the max watts also is decreased. |

I am a pool builder and these folks are right about dimming pool lights (LED's - nope), however I use X10 systems in and around the house and yard and they work great, they turn lights on and off and dim them as well. I also use X10 to control pumps, really cool. |
Hey Bruce, I'm curious about the x10s in this scenario. If I were to wire in an x10 dimmer for my pool lights after the Pentair EasyTouch Controller, what happens to the on/off sequence? For instance, if the EasyTouch turns it on and off, does the x10 remember that it was on before, or does it always revert to an off position after it loses power? Does it remember the dim setting or go back to bright? |

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Chan, Kai-Ying Alice firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-08252010-122625 Document Title Interorganisational knowledge flows between and innovative performance of science park firms : an exploratory study of South African new technology-based firms Degree PhD(Technology Management) Department Engineering and Technology Management Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof L A G Oerlemans Co-Supervisor Prof M W Pretorius Supervisor Keywords
- South Africa
- innovative outcomes
- NTBFs
- interorganisational knowledge flows
- science parks
- emerging economies
- regional system of innovation
Date 2010-08-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract The fast growth of science parks around the world has inspired many researchers to investigate the function and performance of science parks (SPs). Interestingly, mixed findings are reported on science park performance in the literature: some researchers found that SPs have benefits for the firms located on site; whereas other researchers doubt the benefits that SPs are claimed to have. This thesis aims to explain these mixed findings and proposes a relational approach to study the general view of interorganisational knowledge flows. The main research question to be answered is: How can the mixed findings of previous research studies regarding innovative performances of science park firms be explained? A sample of 52 new technology-based firms (NTBFs) situated in Gauteng was interviewed by means of structured questionnaires. Despite the fact that this research did not empirically confirm the theoretical explanation of the mixed findings found in science park literature, some issues raised in the recommendation section of this thesis could account for the mixed findings, namely differences in the scanning processes of new entrant firms, the nature of networking activities, services provided by SP management teams, academic-industry links and configurations of knowledge flows. The findings and recommendations of this study may help policy makers to further improve the design and functioning of science parks in emerging economies.

McKean didn't do Big Numbers or Stray Toasters, that was Sienkiewicz.
Good stuff anyway.

Can I make a special order? Since I've corresponded with you, Corey, I feel like I "know" you and it would be really cool if I had a copy lying around the house that said something like: "All the best, Jake" or "keep the faith, Jake" or "screw you, Jake, you didn't pay for my first two books"

Bong Alvaro & Fiona's Farm
-A A +ASunday, April 15, 2012
THE Lenten gloom has given way to the rejoicing of Easter. Among the blessings in this season of grace is the renewal of friendship and shared amity.
It was in this spirit of joy and affection that Dr. Irineo "Bong" Alvaro Jr. Ph.D. has entertained several media friends in a modest "salu-salo" at his countryside enclave called Fiona's Farm.
Dr. Bong's farm is a 1.5-hectare resort cum retreat house nestled in the lush rice lands of Barangay La Paz, a sleepy village northwest of Magalang town.
With Deng Pangilinan as guide, the place is a 20-minute ride from Marquee Mall. Here the 54-year-old businessman and gentleman of leisure spends his weekend and holidays with family and friends. At times he is a speaker before company or school groups in their workshops.
Dr. Bong was city councilor of Angeles for three terms. He holds a distinguished record as local legislator. He was the author of landmark ordinances and significant resolutions on the local economy, peace and order, health and education among others.
After his last term, he was persuaded by newly elected city mayor Francis "Blueboy" Nepumuceno to serve as City Administrator.
He had helped Mayor Nepo in streamlining all city departments' operations, formulate budget plans and programs. He also served as the mayor's able front line defender against political attacks.
As is inevitable in a new collation of forces, the city administrator fell victim to internecine fighting and intramurals in a deadly power play at the city hall. He resigned his job and returned to attending to family enterprises.
Dr. Bong occupied his time serving his community church, hosted a widely patronized TV program while establishing contact with investors with interests at the Clark free zone.
Today, the former city executive is the only former civil servant in Angeles City and Pampanga who is a locator at Clark. His strongly enterprising nature, his virtues of hard work, determination, and entrepreneurial talent led to the founding of Sky Eagle Corporation, a big name in online services.
His farm resort, named after the Alvaro couple's daughter Fiona who died when she was only six months, is a work in progress. Fiona bought immense good luck to the family, he said. Farm development work began in 2008.
A second swimming pool is currently being constructed. The first one, a children's pool, serves adults as well when they immersed in water therapy or merely for relaxation.
There are three villas, all air-conditioned, with first class bedroom facilities. A tree house is the children's attraction while a well-furbished Coffee Bar, built atop a tiny manmade lagoon, has amenities and ambience conducive to group talks over coffee.
Dr. Bong is a man of culture and refinement. This impression comes quite easily with his sense of good taste. Piped-in music surrounds the whole compound that is well shaded by mango trees. The frontage has a section for various orchids. At the back is a small vineyard where the doctor raises grapes.
Guests and workshop-seminar participants are comfortably accommodated at the multi-purpose hall complete with air-con working full blast, Wi-Fi connections, a huge LCD TV set. Adjacent the room is a modern mini-kitchen where newly cooked food is sourced, the soup and boiled rice steaming hot. A band of male residents, most likely Bong's political leaders and "barkada," tended to the cooking and in the five-hour roasting chore.
Our lunch was Dr. Bong's special treat for friends – a roasted lamb. It went well with sinampalukang manok, broiled talakitok from Zambales, and "pako salad."
Dr. Bong, originally from Concepcion town, spent most of his professional life in Angeles City. Now with the Fiona's Farm in Magalang as his other legal residence, his name is fast shaping as a future public figure in the 1st District of Pampanga.
My favorite "doctor" is not a young man in a hurry though. After three years, he will be 57, an age which raconteur Perry Pangan says, "is just ripe and in full bloom to be a congressional timber."
