Highway 100 Traffic Advertising
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) Its a project that has been in the planning stages for more than four decades.
Today, officials broke ground on the eight mile Highway 100 Extension that will connect Edgewood Road to Highway 30 and include several exits along the way. Construction will close lanes and cause delays for at least the next 18 months on Edgewood Road Northeast.
The entire project is expected to be done by 2020.
While construction workers put shovel to dirt today, local drivers and businesses have been feeling the effect of prep work for months.
Between narrowing lanes and bigger work zones, people say they see cars stopped up and down Edgewood Road all the time.
The area is a high volume passageway even before it was made into one big construction area. Combine that with the new construction, and that makes for a lot of sitting around on the road.
"I know there's a lot of people who want to avoid this area because of how bad it's been getting backed up. I mean all the way down to Edgewood Road to Blairs Ferry, said Beef OBradys Server and Bartender Susan Langguth.
"I think there has been a lot of frustration with clientele not knowing of the constructions dates, said ProCuts Assistant Manager Rachel Cooper.
At ProCuts, the seemingly endless orange traffic cones outside have been making it harder to get the green inside.
"We have a lot of clients that if they're coming from out of the area, they'll be running late, said Cooper.
Customers late for appointments means backed up hair stylists. Rachel says its forcing people to change around their entire schedules just for a cut.
Just down the parking lot, the outlook is a little different at Beef OBradys. More people stuck in traffic means more time to notice the restaurants sign on the wall.
"Hopefully they'll start seeing some of the new businesses we have out here with the new strip mall, be able to see us at this strip mall and hopefully it might actually increase our sales a little bit more, said Langguth.
While that might bring in more business now, Susan says just wait until the project is finished.
"As of right now, we're kind of in the corner of town, said Langguth. Unless you're going to this side of town, people don't usually take a trip out here."
"We've been here eight years, so there's people that don't even know we're here yet so I think that it'll give us some exposure to some of the smaller communities around us, said Cooper.
Everyone agrees that the traffic is a pain. Even the businesses here say they dont want to deal with it when they leave work. Theyre just looking forward to that delayed payoff, however far away it is.

After months of research into a variety of eBook lending programs for libraries, the Adams County Library System is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with 3M Library Systems and is ready to launch the 3M Cloud Library.
3M's innovative new system is composed digital content, along with apps for borrowing and reading, providing libraries with a simple, turnkey system for advancing their digital offerings. The service's eBooks are compatible with PCs, Macs, iPads, Nooks and Android operating systems, enabling patrons to use their personal devices to browse, check out and read eBooks. Kindle books are currently not available with the 3M Cloud Library.
Users will find the link to the Cloud Library and information on how to download eBooks on the "Download E-Books" page under the E-Library link.
Downloaded books will circulate for three weeks, just like a regular item that patrons check-out of the library. Users will have the ability to check an item in early, if they finish it before the due date. Because of the size and newness of the collection, the library has limited the number of check-outs that a patron may have to five at a time and ten hold requests at a time. As the collection grows, the library will look at increasing the limits.
Patrons with questions about the library's new eBook service are invited to attend an eBook Open House at the Gettysburg Library on Saturday, June 16th from 10:00-2:00.

Flag of Canada
Name | The Maple Leaf, l'Unifolié |
Use | National flag, civil and state ensign |
Proportion | 1:2 |
Adopted | February 15, 1965 |
Design | A vertical bicolour triband of red, white, and red in the ratio 1:2:1, with a red maple leaf charged in the centre. |
Designed by | George F.G. Stanley |
The National Flag of Canada,[1] also known as the Maple Leaf and l'Unifolié (French for "the one-leafed"), is a flag consisting of a red field with a white square at its centre, in the middle of which is featured a stylized, 11-pointed, red maple leaf. Adopted in 1965 to replace the Union Flag, it is the first ever specified by statute law for use as the country's national flag. The Canadian Red Ensign had been unofficially used since the 1890s and was approved by a 1945 Order in Council for use "wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag".[2][3]
In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson formed a committee to resolve the issue, sparking a serious debate about a flag change. Out of three choices, the maple leaf design by George Stanley,[4] based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada, was selected. The flag made its first official appearance on February 15, 1965; the date is now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day.
Many different flags have been created for use by Canadian officials, government bodies, and military forces. Most of these flags contain the maple leaf motif in some fashion, either by having the Canadian flag charged in the canton, or by including maple leaves in the design. The Royal Union Flag is also an official flag in Canada.
The flag is horizontally symmetric and therefore the obverse and reverse sides appear identical. The width of the Maple Leaf flag is twice the height. The white field is a Canadian pale (a square central band in a vertical triband flag, named after this flag), and each bordering red field is exactly half its size.[5] In the centre of the white field is a red maple leaf. In heraldry, the flag has been blazoned as "Gules on a Canadian pale argent a maple leaf of the first."[6] The blazon was registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2005.[7]
The maple leaf has been used as a Canadian emblem since the 1700s.[8] It was first used as a national symbol in 1868 when it appeared on the coat of arms of both Ontario and Quebec.[9] In 1867, Alexander Muir composed the patriotic "The Maple Leaf Forever," which became an unofficial anthem in English-speaking Canada.[10] The maple leaf was later added to the Canadian coat of arms in 1921.[9] From 1876 until 1901, the leaf appeared on all Canadian coins, and remained on the penny after 1901.[11] The use of the maple leaf by the Royal Canadian Regiment as a regimental symbol extended back to 1860.[12] During the First World War and Second World War, badges of the Canadian Forces were often based on a maple leaf design.[13] The maple leaf would eventually adorn the tombstones of Canadian military graves.[14] The number of points on the leaf has no significance;[15] the number and arrangement of the points were chosen after wind tunnel tests showed the current design to be the least blurry of the various designs when tested under high wind conditions.[16] The image of the maple leaf used on the flag was designed by Jacques Saint-Cyr;[17] however, Jack Cook claims that this stylized eleven-point maple leaf was lifted from a copyrighted design owned by a Canadian craft shop in Ottawa.[18]
By proclaiming the Royal Arms of Canada, King George V in 1921 made red and white the official colours of Canada; the former came from Saint George's Cross and the latter from the French royal emblem since King Charles VII.[19] These colours became "entrenched" as the national colours of Canada upon the proclamation of the Royal Standard of Canada (the Canadian monarch's personal flag) in 1962.[20] The Department of Canadian Heritage has listed the various colour shades for printing ink that should be used when reproducing the Canadian flag; these include:[5]
- FIP red: General Printing Ink, No. 0-712;
- Inmont Canada Ltd., No. 4T51577;
- Monarch Inks, No. 62539/0
- Rieger Inks, No. 25564
- Sinclair and Valentine, No. RL163929/0.
The colours 0/100/100/0 in the CMYK process, PMS 032 (flag red 100%), or PMS 485 (used for screens) in the Pantone colour specifier can be used when reproducing the flag.[5] For the Federal Identity Program, the red tone of the standard flag has an RGB value of 255-0-0 (web hexadecimal #FF0000).[21] In 1984, the National Flag of Canada Manufacturing Standards Act was passed to unify the manufacturing standards for flags used in both indoor and outdoor conditions.[22]
Early flags[edit]
The first flag known to have flown in Canada was the St George's Cross carried by John Cabot when he reached Newfoundland in 1497. In 1534, Jacques Cartier planted a cross in Gaspé bearing the French royal coat of arms with the fleurs-de-lis. His ship flew a red flag with a white cross, the French naval flag at the time. New France continued to fly the evolving French military flags of that period.[3][23] As the de jure national flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Flag (commonly known as the Union Jack and, by law, called the Royal Union Flag in Canada since 1964) was used similarly in Canada since the 1621 British settlement in Nova Scotia. Its use continued after Canada's independence from the United Kingdom in 1931 until the adoption of the current flag in 1965.[3]
Shortly after Canadian Confederation in 1867, the need for distinctive Canadian flags emerged. The first Canadian flag was that then used as the flag of the Governor General of Canada, a Union Flag with a shield in the centre bearing the quartered arms of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves.[24] In 1870 the Red Ensign, with the addition of the Canadian composite shield in the fly, began to be used unofficially on land and sea and was known as the Canadian Red Ensign. As new provinces joined the Confederation, their arms were added to the shield. In 1892, the British admiralty approved the use of the Red Ensign for Canadian use at sea. The composite shield was replaced with the coat of arms of Canada upon its grant in 1921 and, in 1924, an Order in Council approved its use for Canadian government buildings abroad.[3] In 1925, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King established a committee to design a flag to be used at home, but it was dissolved before the final report could be delivered. Despite the failure of the committee to solve the issue, public sentiment in the 1920s was in favour of fixing the flag problem for Canada.[25] New designs were proposed in 1927,[26] 1931,[27] and 1939.[28]
During the Second World War, the Red Ensign was the national flag Canadian troops carried into battle. A joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons was appointed on November 8, 1945, to recommend a national flag to officially adopt. By May 9 the following year, 2,695 designs were submitted and the committee reported back with a recommendation "that the national flag of Canada should be the Canadian red ensign with a maple leaf in autumn golden colours in a bordered background of white". The Legislative Assembly of Quebec, however, had urged the committee to not include any of what it deemed as "foreign symbols", including the Union Flag, and Mackenzie King, then still prime minister, declined to act on the report, leaving the order to fly the Canadian Red Ensign in place.[19][24][29]
Great Flag Debate[edit]
By the 1960s, however, debate for an official Canadian flag intensified and became a subject of controversy, culminating in the Great Flag Debate of 1964.[30] In 1963, the minority Liberal government of Lester B. Pearson gained power and decided to adopt an official Canadian flag through parliamentary debate. The principal political proponent of the change was Pearson. He had been a significant broker during the Suez Crisis of 1956, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.[31] During the crisis, Pearson was disturbed when the Egyptian government objected to Canadian peacekeeping forces on the grounds that the Canadian flag (the Red Ensign) contained the same symbol (the Union Flag) also used as a flag by the United Kingdom, one of the belligerents.[31] Pearson's goal was for the Canadian flag to be distinctive and unmistakably Canadian. The main opponent to changing the flag was the leader of the opposition and former prime minister, John Diefenbaker, who eventually made the subject a personal crusade.[32]
In 1961, Leader of the Opposition Lester Pearson asked John Ross Matheson to begin researching what it would take for Canada to have a new flag. Pearson knew the Red Ensign with the Union Jack was unpopular in Quebec, a base of support for his Liberal Party, but the Red Ensign was strongly favoured by English Canada. By April 1963, Pearson was prime minister in a minority government and risked losing power over the issue. He formed a 15-member multi-party parliamentary committee in 1963 to select a new design, despite opposition leader Diefenbaker's demands for a referendum on the issue.[33] On May 27, 1964, Pearson's cabinet introduced a motion to parliament for adoption of his favourite design of a "sea to sea" (Canada's motto) flag with blue borders and three conjoined red maple leaves on a white field. This motion led to weeks of acrimonious debate in the House of Commons and the design came to be known as the "Pearson Pennant".[34]
The modern flag[edit]
Through a period of study with political manoeuvring, the committee chose the current design, which was created by George Stanley and inspired by the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario.[35] There, near the parade square, in March 1964, while viewing the college flag atop the Mackenzie Building, Stanley, then RMC's Dean of Arts, first suggested to J.R. Matheson, then Member of Parliament for Leeds, that the RMC flag should form the basis of the national flag. The suggestion was followed by Stanley's memorandum of March 23, 1964, on the history of Canada's emblems,[36] in which he warned that any new flag "must avoid the use of national or racial symbols that are of a divisive nature" and that it would be "clearly inadvisable" to create a flag that carried either the Union Jack or a fleur-de-lis. According to John Matheson, Pearson's one "paramount and desperate objective" in introducing the new flag was to keep Quebec in the Canadian union.[37] It was Dr. Stanley's idea that the new flag should be red and white and that it should feature the single maple leaf; his memorandum included the first sketch of what would become the flag of Canada. Stanley and Matheson collaborated on a design that was ultimately passed by a majority vote in the House of Commons on December 15, 1964. Just after this, at 2:00 am, Matheson wrote to Stanley: "Your proposed flag has just now been approved by the Commons 163 to 78. Congratulations. I believe it is an excellent flag that will serve Canada well."[38] The Senate added its approval two days later.[19]
Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, proclaimed the new flag on January 28, 1965,[19] and it was inaugurated on February 15 of the same year at an official ceremony held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, in the presence of Governor General Major-General Georges Vanier, the Prime Minister, other members of the Cabinet, and Canadian parliamentarians. The Red Ensign was lowered at the stroke of noon and the new maple leaf flag was raised. The crowd sang "O Canada" followed by "God Save the Queen".[39] Maurice Bourget, Speaker of the Senate, said "[t]he flag is the symbol of the nation's unity, for it, beyond any doubt, represents all the citizens of Canada without distinction of race, language, belief, or opinion."[39] For the nation's centennial celebrations in 1967, the Canadian government used a flag bearing the Royal Arms of Canada (whose shield was used on the Red Ensign) on a red field.[40][41]

After the resolutions proposing a new national flag for Canada were passed by the two houses of parliament, a proclamation was drawn up for signature by the Canadian queen. This was created in the form of an illuminated document on vellum, with calligraphy by Yvonne Diceman and heraldic illustrations. The text was rendered in black ink, using a quill, while the heraldic elements were painted in gouache with gilt highlights. The Great Seal of Canada was applied in wax over a silk ribbon.[42]
This parchment was signed discreetly by the calligrapher, but was made official by the autographs of Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Lester Pearson, and Attorney General Guy Favreau. In order to obtain these signatures, the document was flown to the United Kingdom (for the Queen's royal sign-manual) and to the Caribbean (for the signature of Favreau, who was on vacation). This transport to different climates, combined with the quality of the materials with which the proclamation was created, and the subsequent storage and repair methods (including the use of Scotch Tape) contributed to the deterioration of the document, leading to its restoration in the 1990s. The proclamation is today stored in a temperature and humidity controlled, sealed case.[42]
Alternative flags[edit]
As a symbol of the nation's membership in the Commonwealth of Nations, the Royal Union Flag is an official Canadian flag and is flown on certain occasions.[43] Regulations require federal installations to fly the Royal Union Flag beside the national flag when physically possible, using a second flagpole, on the following days: Commonwealth Day (the second Monday in March), Victoria Day (the same date as the Canadian sovereign's official birthday), and the anniversary of the Statute of Westminster (December 11). The Royal Union Flag can also be flown at the National War Memorial or at other locations during ceremonies that honour Canadian involvement with forces of other Commonwealth nations during times of war. The national flag always precedes the Royal Union Flag, with the former occupying the place of honour.[43] The Royal Union Flag is also part of the provincial flags of Ontario and Manitoba, forming the canton of these flags; a stylized version is used on the flag of British Columbia and the flag of Newfoundland and Labrador.[43] Several of the provincial lieutenant governors formerly used a modified union flag as their personal standard, but the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia is the only one who retains this design.[43] The Royal Union Flag and Red Ensign are still flown in Canada by veterans' groups and others who continue to stress the importance of Canada's British heritage and the Commonwealth connection.[43]
The Red Ensign is occasionally still used as well, including official use at some ceremonies. It was flown at the commemorations of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 2007.[44][45] This decision elicited criticism from those who believe it should not be given equal status to the Canadian flag and received praise from people who believe that it is important to retain the ties to Canada's past.[44][45]
The Canadian Duality Flag is an independently developed unofficial flag originally circulated by its promoters to demonstrate the unity of Canada at rallies for the no side during the lead-up to the 1995 Quebec referendum.[46] Though the white in the Canadian flag officially derives from French royal symbolism, this can be misunderstood because red and white are also the colors of the flag of England. The Duality Flag is designed to be more explicitly representative of both language communities by adding, to the red sections, stripes of blue roughly in proportion to the number of Canadians who are primarily French-speaking. The blue was chosen because it is the main colour that is used on the flag of Quebec.[47][48]
In Quebec, the provincial flag (a white cross on a field of blue with four fleurs-de-lis) is often considered a national flag along with the Maple Leaf flag, as is the Acadian flag in the Acadian regions of the Maritime provinces,[17][49] and the flags of the Iroquois Nation, the Metis Nation and other groups.
No law dictates the proper use of the Canadian flag. However, Canadian Heritage has released guidelines on how to correctly display the flag alone and with other flags. The guidelines deal with the order of precedence in which the Canadian flag is placed, where the flag can be used, how it is used, and what people should do to honour the flag. The suggestions, titled Flag Etiquette in Canada, were published by Canadian Heritage in book and online formats and last updated in August 2011.[50] The flag itself can be displayed on any day at buildings operated by the Government of Canada, airports, military bases, and diplomatic offices, as well as by citizens, during any time of the day. When flying the flag, it must be flown using its own pole and must not be inferior to other flags, save for, in descending order, the Queen's personal standard, the governor general's standard, any of the personal standards of members of the Canadian Royal Family, or flags of the lieutenant governors.[51] The Canadian flag is flown at half-mast in Canada to indicate a period of mourning. Canadian Forces does have a special protocol for folding the Canadian flag for presentations, such as during a funeral ceremony; however, CF does not recommend this method for everyday use.[52]
Promoting the flag[edit]
Since the adoption of the Canadian flag in 1965, the Canadian government has sponsored programs to promote it. Examples include the Canadian Parliamentary Flag Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage and the flag program run by the Department of Public Works. These programs increased the exposure of the flag and the concept that it was part of the national identity. To increase awareness of the new flag, the Parliamentary Flag Program was set up in December, 1972, by the Cabinet and, beginning in 1973,[53] allowed members of the House of Commons to distribute flags and lapel pins in the shape of the Canadian flag to their constituents. Flags that have been flown on the Peace Tower and the East and West Blocks of Parliament Hill are packaged by the Department of Public Works and offered to the public free of charge. However, the program has a 31-year waiting list for East and West Block flags, and a 42-year waiting list for Peace Tower flags.[54]
Since 1996, February 15 has been commemorated as National Flag of Canada Day.[39] In 1996, Minister of Canadian Heritage Sheila Copps instituted the One in a Million National Flag Challenge.[55] This program was intended to provide Canadians with a million new national flags in time for Flag Day, 1997. The program was controversial because it cost some $45 million, and provided no means to hoist or fly the flags. The official numbers from Canadian Heritage put the expenses at $15.5 million, with approximately a seventh of the cost offset by donations.[56]

Large and economically important marine fish (Gadus morhua, family Gadidae) found on both sides of the North Atlantic, usually near the bottom in cold water. It ranges from inshore regions to deep waters. It is valued for its edible flesh, the oil of its liver, and other products. The cod is dark-spotted and ranges from greenish or grayish to brown or blackish; it may also be dull to bright red. It usually weighs up to about 25 lbs (11.5 kg) but can reach a maximum length and weight of more than 6 ft (1.8 m) and 200 lbs (91 kg). It feeds largely on other fishes and various invertebrates.

Twice Baked PotatoesLOVED IT! — kchobb 8/16/2011 |
Mexican Cornbread CasseroleI thoroughly enjoyed making this dish. Instead of the creamed corn I used a bag of frozen Spanish style corn. I love spicy food so I added a bit of cayenne pepper to mine.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Espirit!
Facts about Espirit
- Breed: Appendix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large
- Sex: Male
Espirit's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, rideable, and up to date with shots.
Espirit is a 25-year-old Appendix ex-race horse who stands 16 hands high. He is tall, dark and handsome and looking for an owner who has plenty of time to go trail riding; Espirit can be ridden English or Western, and his rider must not weigh more than 150 pounds. He will go out on the trails with or without other horses (if given the option he prefers to follow another horse his speed). Espirit is great around children but requires an intermediate rider.
HORSE of Connecticut adopts horses to Connecticut, eastern New York, western Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Horses adopted from HORSE of Connecticut may not be used for breeding, showing (including 4-H and other youth groups), jumping, or lesson programs. Please see our website, www.horseofct.org, for full details on the adoption process.
Other Pets at H.O.R.S.E. of Connecticut, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Espirit, a Washington Appendix was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Appendix for sale in Washington, or seeking a Appendix from a breeder in Washington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Washington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Washington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Appendix breeders who help with Appendix rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Washington paves the way for another one to be saved.

8 Fun Facts about the Chinese New Year
The Chinese year begins on 31 January 2014. This year its the year of the horse. To help you celebrate, here are 8 fun facts about this holiday (from Wikipedia):
- The traditional Chinese New Year celebration lasts 15 days. This makes it the longest and most important festival for Chinese all over the world. A public holiday in countries such as China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Also it is celebrated in Chinatowns all over the world.
- 2014 is the year of the horse. People born in this year (which is actually between 31 January 2014 and 18 February 2015) are said to be optimistic, intelligent, fashionable, charming, and are very wise.
- Everyone goes home for the Chinese New Year celebrations, if they can. The period just before the Chinese New Year, called chunyun, is the busiest travel time of the entire year. All across China and beyond, you'll find people on their way home to spend this time with their families.
- The Chinese New Year is seen as the perfect time to do some spring cleaning. Traditionally, it was believed that cleaning house for the new year's celebrations swept bad luck away and helped ensure good fortune in the year to come.
- Traditional foods include fish, which is served at the end of the New Year's meal and symbolizes abundance, and a sticky fruitcake called Neen Gow or Nian Gow.
- Red decorations are everywhere, because the colour red is considered to be one of the luckiest colours of all. Older family members use red envelopes to give gifts of cash to their younger relatives.
- Shou Sui is the practice of staying up until midnight as a family to greet the new year.
- During the Chinese New Year, people often greet each other by shouting "auspicious phrases" thought to bring luck, like "gōng xǐ fā cái," which translates to "Congratulations and be prosperous." Children sometimes use the following variant of this greeting when they are feeling cheeky: "gōng xǐ fā cái, hóng bāo ná lái." That means "Congratulations and be prosperous, now give me a red envelope!"
You can find out more about Chinese New Year in our post from 2013, written by one of our translators in Beijing

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
24 But you have not bought any sweet-smelling cane for me. You have not given me the fattest parts of your animal sacrifices. Instead, you have loaded me down with your sins. You have made me tired with the wrong things you have done. | 24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses. |

Deb Curtis and I have recently published a note which is something which I started several months ago to highlight some of the innovative solutions and players in the Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) market which fit a specific set of criteria. We needed to artificially put a boundary on this market definition in order to avoid having to write on each of the 100+ players in the NPM market who handle polling, flow, and packet based data analysis. We still managed to cover 18 vendors in this market who met criteria we outlined:
Application-Aware NPM
These solutions allow passive packet capture of network traffic and must include the following features, in addition to packet capture technology:
- Receive and process one or more of these flow-based data sources: NetFlow, sFlow and Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX).
- Provide roll-ups and dashboards of collected data into business-relevant views, consisting of application-centric performance displays.
- Monitor performance in an always-on state, and generate alarms based on manual or automatically generated thresholds.
- Offer protocol analysis capabilities to decode and understand multiple applications, including voice, video, HTTP and database protocols. The tool must provide end-user experience information for these applications.
- Have the ability to decrypt encrypted traffic if the proper keys are provided to the solution.
Optionally, the features of market leaders include:
- High-capacity storage of captured packet data, but this is not required as a core feature, although it can be useful from a diagnostic perspective. Products that do not store the data must provide packet capture on demand and reported in real time.
- Operation in WAN-optimized and virtualized environments through support for popular WAN optimization controllers (WOCs; e.g., Riverbed, Cisco and F5), as well as virtual network tagging, such as Cisco's virtual network tag (VNTag), VMware's ESX and Citrix's Xen.
These products are what we would call AA-NPM due to their ability to not only fit the needs for network engineers needing to debug and diagnose issues, but also the elevation of that data into business relevant application views. Many Gartner clients speak to me asking for APM products, but when confronted with the task of agent deployments often find themselves wanting AA-NPM functionality versus APM functionality. Based on the maturity, complexity, and overall design of the applications different product types will be the best fit to allow visibility and troubleshooting of problems.
Additionally, I am excited that we have started really covering the Network Packet Broker (NPB) market, which consists of devices that facilitate monitoring and security technologies to see the traffic which is required for those solutions to work more effectively. They could be called "monitoring switches" "matrix switches" or other terms, but we felt this term fit the best as far as what they do and what they do not do. These products are often required once you start dealing with more complex networks. Here are the criteria we used for these products:
- Many-to-many port mapping, with a configuration interface (graphical user interface [GUI] or command line interface [CLI]) for real-time adjustments of packet flow, including port mapping and paths.
- Filtering of packet data based on the characteristics found in the packet headers, allowing filtering of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layers 2 through 4.
- Packet slicing and deduplication, which allows a subset of the full packet data to be passed to the monitoring device, thus allowing monitoring tools to scale more efficiently.
- Aggregating multiple packet stream inputs into one larger stream, for example five 1Gb links into a single 10Gb link. Alternately, the reverse also will work, where a single 10Gb link would be fed into multiple 1Gb connections. The destination would be a monitoring tool with the proper interface.
- Distributing traffic load per device by sending it to different probes or appliances in order to scale the monitoring, or to provide redundancy in the monitoring technology.
- Insertion of hardware-based time stamps that can be used by the monitoring tools to provide more accurate measurements. These hardware-based features can change the accuracy of the packet time stamp from milliseconds to microseconds, enabling more granular time measurement.
Optionally, the features of market leaders include:
- Deep packet inspection, allowing for the filtering and routing of packets based on data characteristics in the header or payload, and support for filtering on OSI Layers 2 through 7.
- The ability to capture ingress port identification data, enabling unique identification of traffic from multiple ingress ports.
- The capability to mask specific data in the packets, which could be applied in compliance use cases, which contain confidential regular-format fields (e.g., Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, etc.).
We included 9 NPB vendors in the research. I realize it's been almost 2 months since my last post, I will try not to let that happen again.

The Son of Man |
Fragment of 1 Enoch (Scrolls of the Dead Sea) (©!!!) |
there I saw the One to Whom belongs
the time before time, and His head was white like wool. With Him was
being, whose countenance had the appearance of a man, and his face was
full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. I asked the angel
went with me [...] concerning that son of and who he was, and whence he
was, and why he went with the One to Whom belongs the time before time.
He answered and said to me: 'This is the son of man who has righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of the spirits has chosen him, and whose lot has the pre-eminence before the Lord of the spirits in uprightness for ever. This son of man whom you have seen shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats and the strong from their thrones, and shall loosen the reins of the strong and break the teeth of the sinners.' And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the
presence of the Lord
of the spirits, and his name before the the One to Whom belongs the
before time. Yes, before the sun and the signs were created, before the
stars of the heaven were made, his name was named before the Lord of
spirits. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay
and not fall, and he shall be the light of the gentiles and the hope of
those who are troubled of heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down
and worship before him, and will praise and bless and celebrate with
the Lord of the spirits. For this reason has he been chosen and hidden
before Him, before the creation of the world and for ever more. The
of the Lord of the spirits has revealed him to the holy and righteous;
for he has preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated
and despised this world of unrighteousness, and have hated all its
and ways in the name of the Lord of the spirits: for in his name they
saved, and according to his good pleasure has it been in regard to

Villa Epifania: The Grand Old House of Sta. Rita
-A A +AWednesday, July 27, 2011
LOOKING at the new cosmopolitan houses and villas sprouting along the roads and streets in rural towns, I get to be reminded of the time when houses were used as symbols of power and prestige.
None of the new houses sported by the rich and the new order of middle class families could fare with equal elegance and beauty with the houses during the era when the words "living in style" were taken quite literally.
The houses in this era would later pass on as reminders of a time long gone and would remain in a corner of a street, an urban oddity, waiting for a weary scholar or historian to recognize its value. Most old houses would fare well in the rural towns.
Such is the case of Villa Epifania located in the backwater town of Sta. Rita.
The villa was named after Dona Epifania who came from an equally rich and powerful Floridablanca-based clan, the Alvendias.
The ancestral lot was owned by the Guanzon patriarch Don Agapito Guanzon (Captain Pitong) the then Captain Municipal (equivalent to today's municipal mayor) of Sta. Rita.
Capitan Pitong's son, Don Olympio Guanzon (former Pampanga Governor) would later inherit the lot and an earlier old house in the same lot by 1925. The old house would later be dismantled to give way for the villa and would later pass on to Don Felipe Guanzon.
The villa was designed and constructed by Architect Mariano Pineda, a native of Sta. Rita and relative of the Guanzons. Pineda would later join the Federal Architects of America.
Constructed between the years 1931-1932, the house was one-of-a-kind at that time; it was the only all-concrete house in Sta. Rita and the architectural design is incomparable with other historical landmarks in the town. The whole house is made of concrete with few exemptions, like the upper wall on the western side of the house facing the north.
This part showcases a gallery of windows as old as the house itself. The main walls of the house are concrete, about a foot thick on all the major sidings. The concrete materials were imported from Guiguinto in Bulacan. The villa's wood portions are of the finest Philippine hardwood (narra, camagong and molave) and the furniture is of King Louis style. The furniture was acquired for the villa in 1931 and was bought from the Philippine Carnival in Manila and allegedly made by the prisoners of Bilibid prison. An azotea flanks the north side of the house which gives a perfect view of the western farm lands in Sta. Rita, a major portion of which were once owned by the Guanzons and other notable lords from the Pineda, Lansang and Gosioco clans.
The doors of the former house that stood in the lot found their way into the second floor of the house. The doors and windows are made of colored glass with hues of green and orange. Wrought iron bars and grills protect the glass frames of the windows and the doors. A "portico" with granite staircase, will greet the visitor upon approaching the house and above it is a grand veranda accented with baroque pillars. Another small porch is located at the second floor near the grand veranda.
This porch though smaller is equally grand; the truth is there is no point in comparing the architectural designs from one another. An architect friend once said that the designs of the villa are "asymmetrical", each with its own beauty and dominance in the house. No two sides are actually the same. The irregular symmetry unfolds into a united design, "baroque yet classical".
The inside of the house is much the same design. However, a lot is still in store for an inquisitive visitor. The villa also offers other verandas at the second floor and a minor rooftop and chimneys for the kitchen. Not bad for a house made in 1932 at a hefty value of (reportedly) P90,000.
It was used as headquarters by the Japanese officers, USAFE guerillas and alkaldes during World War II and would late pass on as a relic of the past. But such beauty would not go unnoticed and soon enough it caught the eyes of location directors. The house was first featured in the Lino Brocka film "Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang" in 1976. Later in the 90s it was used as the backdrop for the movie "Tanging Yaman."
The villa is located along Ocampo Street in San Jose, north of the town church and west of the municipal hall facing the east. The villa had served as a house that would later shape the political and social life of the town. From this villa came illustrious names in business and politics. The grandeur of this residence has done well to lift the bearings of this clan.
At present, the villa is unoccupied except by a caretaker who would be happy to show you around. So if you happen to pass by Sta. Rita, try visiting Villa Epifania. It would surely give you a taste of what living in style really means. It would just be waiting for you at a corner of a lonely street.

How weird is the hair thing right, why is it universal for hairdressers to just not listen to what you want. Maybe it's because half their job is having to sound interested in what people waffle on to them about, which they tune out, so when the all important part of what you say you want done to your hair comes around, they tune that out too? I don't know, but it's annoying! And I'm so with you on the toilet thing, it's like a weird compulsion!

Accommodations and rates |
The Hermitage offers a variety of accommodations throughout our monastery grounds. The attached map indicates the locations of each, for your general reference. You will note that each of the private rooms in the retreat house are named and attached you can find a short biography/reference behind each which we hope will be of interest to you. The retreat house, which features nine private rooms, each with a half-bath and personal garden overlooking the ocean. In the retreat house, there is also a room with two private showers and a common kitchen where meals are picked up. In addition to the retreat house, there are five private hermitages located along the hillside below the retreat house. These spaces offer greater solitude and privacy. They include a full bath, small refrigerator, small counter-top gas burner for cooking, various food items for light meals and a sun deck. The main meal is picked up at the retreat house kitchen. Just added in 2011 are private retreat accommodations within the monastic enclosure. This completely private cell includes bath, prayer room, and sleeping area. These accommodations are only available to male retreatants since they are located within the monastic cloister. We are pleased to now offer two choices in accommodations that will house more than one person:

Lipid-signaling Molecule May Have Anti-aging Effects
Posted: August 14, 2008
Activating the expression of a lipid-signaling molecule in the skin may have anti-aging effects, according to Korean scientists. Research published in the Journal of Dermatological Science investigated the effect of the activator K6PC-5 on the activity of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)—a molecule that, in its role as a cell messenger, helps regulate cell proliferation, differentiation and survival.
A growing body of scientific literature has documented the physiological effects of S1P. However, according to the scientists, led by Seung Hun Lee at the Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, no study has investigated the effect of chemically inducing S1P expression by the activator K6PC-5 on aging skin.
Proliferation of dermal fibroblasts
Hun Lee and the team first investigated in vitro the effect of K6PC-5 on human dermal fibroblasts, as these are known to decrease as part of the aging process, finding that the activator promoted the proliferation of the cells. In addition, the K6PC-5 significantly promoted collagen synthesis, according to the scientists.
In order to investigate whether the positive effect of K6PC-5 was due to its activation of S1P, the scientists measured the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. S1P is known to increase intracellular Ca2+ and the study showed that K6PC-5 increased the concentration of Ca2+, therefore supporting the team's hypothesis that the molecule's positive effect on fibroblast and collagen synthesis is due to its effect on S1P.

Girls' Lives
"All children have the right to education. But many girls are taken out of school in the early grades or do not go to school at all."
UNICEF, Voices of Youth
The Girls' Lives series includes quotes from girls who participated in the web forum sponsored by the Working Group on Girls of the NGO Committee of UNICEF and UNICEF Voices of Youth Project which took place in 2000. During the project, teachers, staff, and community workers helped translate, fax and type for girls from tribal communities, remote villages and halfway houses.
Jasmine, age 13, Bangladesh
"... I have an older sister who was married off at the age of 15. She is pregnant and yet has to work in a garment factory from very early in the morning to very late at night because her husband refuses to work. She had to give 20,000 takas plus some jewelry to her husband's family so that she could get married, but she is treated no better than a servant. She also has to do most of the housework such as cooking and cleaning whenever she is not working.
Most parents don't believe in giving their daughters an education because they say that it is just a waste of time and money. I am in class 5 and I will have to leave now because school is only free up to this year and I cannot afford to continue. My father will try to help my brother, but he cannot help me. My dream is to become a doctor. But dreams remain dreams.
I also want to have some free time to think and play and just be a child. But this is not possible because I have to work all day in my own house and also in other people's. I help my family by teaching six students every evening for one and a half hours.
The government should make education free until the end of high school. This will give us the opportunity to get ahead in life... I hope someone comes forward to help as soon as possible before my education is stopped."
Anonymous, age 17, Republic of Korea
"... Before dinner, fathers and brothers ask girls and women to set the table; after dinner, they request them to wash the dishes. The only reason they do this is because traditionally men don't help in domestic affairs because they make money for a living.
Now time and society has changed and women also make money, realizing their dreams. But they are still asked to do all of the housework. So I think the men should change their high attitude. We have reached the 21st century and the ideas should match it."
Adwoa, age 15, Ghana
"... I sell doughnuts for a living and have been living with a relative since the age of 10. I never went to school. I had to rise up early to sell doughnuts before going back home for my breakfast. When I was 13 years, a driver's mate showed interest in me and one day I became pregnant. He however did not accept responsibility. So now I take care of the child and myself with the sales from doughnuts."

About the Summit
In today's rapidly changing technologies and disruptive alternatives, the role of a Chief Information Officer is becoming highly competitive; to remain afloat with the existing system of information workflow, whilst constantly adapting to 're-define business processes' by developing a robust and sustainable technology infrastructure. It would require a great deal of complex understanding and methodical execution to see through such technological transformation and enable efficient & cost-effective process practices.
On the contrary, the practical application of this strategic implementation could differ amongst various sectors. For Example - A well established Technology Firm may have a more advanced approach towards the 'tools & processes being followed' compared to any other sectors such as 'Healthcare, FMCG, Retail, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Infrastructure & BFSI'. This in no manner indicates that these sectors are less adaptive to technology enabled work-flow mapping, except to state the significant scope of opportunity that exists to reevaluate 'the technology adaptation and process automation measures'.
In order to achieve such higher alternative possibilities, we at The Lausanne Group have taken this initiative to launch our conceptual business event "The Enterprise CIO Revolution 2014".

It doesn't sit really well on my combination skin when used all over. It dries out my skin and I'm left with dry patches. So instead of applying it all over my face, I just apply it with my fingers... dabbing on the skin to cover marks or uneven colors on my skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Although the packaging and so on is great the product itself compared to the cost is dire. I have normal combination skin and this just doesn't sit nicely. I got the shade honey, which is actually too pale for me but regardless it tends to sit into lines that i don't see with liquid foundations which i find bizzarre. Althought it gives good coverage it goes from creamy on application to powdery on your face and gives you a very unnatural matte appearance which although some people like, i do not, i'd rather look like i'm not wearing makeup than like i am.
I also find it doesn't apply great with a brush. This is the first and last creamy compact foundation i buy and last bobbi brown foundation i buy, MAC is so much better, the new matchmaster is fabulous and face and body is great buildable coverage. However i do like bobbi brown extra eye repair it's great, this compact foundation though? NO. SAVE YOUR MONEY :-) for the £29/$40 it will cost you, you can buy something a MUCH better and also i suspect that you can pick up any regular compact foundation such as avon and get the same results this product delivers. So yeah unless you've got crazy oily skin, stay away from this.
I have been using it for allmost 2 months now(DEC, 12,2011). About 3 times a week. I normally dab a little bit to cover my dark circles and brighten my forehead, after Dr jart or BRTC BB cream. And my skin looks natural, flawless and clear!
+ It is perfect for ON-THE-GO since it's easy to apply
I have dark circles & my eyes easily get watery so I need this specifically under my eyes. It's got such great coverage.
+ Very natural looking ( I feel so pretty wearing it :) )
+ Not irritating, pretty gentle with my fragile face
- Like some reviewers said: it doesn't last very well unless you set it with a little translucent loose powder. I use mine with a little Estee Lauder's translucent pressed powder (BTW this thing sets any concealer/foundation for a long long time)
I got this with BB EXTRA repair foundation and I love it. 5 lips for that one. 4 lips for this one because of the con.
I would buy this product again since it's such a good color match for me. I use warm ivory for both the repair foundation and this one. But somehow this one looks brighter on the skin.
Both of them are very good.A little goes a long way.

More reviews by PromiscuousGayCroMagnon
I wanted a perfect matte looking face and i got it with this. I have pretty good skin with some discoloration/ dark marks but this provided a full coverage finish so my skin looked clear. It lasted all day and i was shine free too. The major downside about this product is that it transfers on everything. Not sure if thats how all cremes are or if its because i didn't use a setting powder but i hate that flaw.
I'm so angry at myself for spending the money on this! I looked at all of the product reviews on BB's website (which were all glowing reviews) and I wish that I had come here first. I have ultra oily skin and thought that this would be a nice fit. Turns out that not only does my face feel like it's suffocating, it melts off after less than an hour on my warm skin.
I love BB's stuff, but this was a mega bust!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It happens suddenly. One day you look at yourself in the mirror and realize that light-coverage foundation just isnt cutting it anymore. Its time to go into concealment mode. Starting from MUA reviews, I identified five medium-to-full coverage foundations for combination skin and likely to be suitable for women over age 50.
The products were:
Bobbie Brown Oil Free Even Finish Compact Foundation, $44
Chanel Mat Lumiere, $54
Estee Lauder Double Wear, $35
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet, $34
Mary Kay Time Wise Matt-Wear Liquid Foundation, $22 (or maybe $20 cant recall)
The Bobbie Brown is a crème; the rest are liquid.
I shopped at major department stores and with a Mary Kay consultant. In every case, after finding a good color match, I was able to obtain a sample to take home. (Nordstrom didnt have a sample of my color, but the clerk said, Buy it and take it home. If you dont like it, bring it back. Its Nordstrom.)
Applying with a foundation brush, I tried all the foundations for at least a full day, over my usual moisturizer with just a spot of powder blush. I intently observed them in natural light.
None of the foundations completely prevented shininess. With each, at some point during the day I had to dab a little powder on my forehead, nose and cheeks. All of the foundations provided medium coverage with easy buildability. After about a half hour of settling in, each had a natural look. So, as I review them from my least favorite to my final choice, know that any one of them would have worked for me. Finding the best color will be your best decision factor.
5. Estee Lauder Double Wear. This liquid foundation dried quickly and was a bit difficult to work with. It looked slightly chalky.
4. Mary Kay Time Wise Matt-Wear Liquid Foundation. The lowest-cost of all the selections and, at $20, easily the best value. It was only slightly drier-appearing than the next two selections.
Tie for #2: Makeup Forever Mat Velvet and Chanel Mat Lumiere. Both these products went on smoothly and did not settle into wrinkles. They held matte finish equally well, but still had a little glow. The Chanel color happened to be the best color match of all the options I tried.
And the winner is: Bobbie Brown Oil Free Even Finish Compact Foundation. This was the only crème of the bunch and I was a bit skeptical, but it stays as a shine-free as any of the liquids. (I still need a touch of powder in the T zone.) It has a velvety feel and looks very natural which is, of course, BBs signature.
While the Bobbie Brown is superior, you could be satisfied with any of the other four, especially if you prefer a liquid. Find the best color and let that drive your decision.

I am no professional makeup artist BUT i do work at a makeup studio and know the different fomulations that work for different skin types and so on. Having said that, i have used this foundation on other clients and I have to say..... no matter what skin type..... it just loooks.... horrible!!! Old, young, good sking, bad skin, it just sits on top of it... I have tried different application techniques but i just dont like it. It accentuates every line on your face. How awful....
Basically the worst foundation ever. Feel terrible saying this, though. In Bobbi Browns other formulations, the colour (3.5) looked lovely on - even the concealers matched well. The consistency of this product looks like glue, i can't quite understand how this is oil free as it is quite slippery. It has no staying power - (1-2 hours, then touch ups needed). Doesn't cover up any acne marks. The colour looked awfully orange on, even though the make up artist testing the product on me said it was perfect (it disappeared/blended into forehead) but on the rest of my face this looked terrible.
I would suggest trying her other formulations, I just wouldn't recommend this foundation our of her range. You also get very little product for the price, my mother has this in another colour and she went through it pretty quick (less than 2 weeks) even though she uses very little.
A big no no for me!
I had this product applied at the Bobbi Brown counter to "road test" before possible purchase. I found it uncomfortable to wear - it felt like my skin was covered by a plastic bag. It was not oil free as the make up started to melt straight away and made my pores look huge. Within a few hours had smudged my mascara badly under my eyes. Would not recommend this product.
If only I had joined this forum sooner! I used BB products in the mid 90s and never had a problem. Because I like to try new cosmetic brands, I tried other good makeup lines ( Iman, Clinique , Mac etc) for many years and finally in 2010 decided to try BB again as their colour matches were among the best. I had beautiful results at first. My skin -which has always been pretty much flawless - looked fantastic... Until three months later. I had the worst itchy rash on my face and could not work out why. I cut out certain foods, vitamin supplements and new skincare purchases. I never suspected the BB foundation and powder I was using, as the breakout had occurred months after I started using them. My skin still hasn't returned to it's former health, and now I see that it was the BB makeup doing the damage. I cringe to think how much money I have wasted, but it's a relief to finally get to the bottom of the problem. Btw, I had no idea that BB was bought over my Estee Lauder. They must have changed the formula significantly because BB was a great product back in the day...

Mark Skousen: China Could Trump U.S. as Superpower
Monday, November 5, 2012 - 10:50
Founder of FreedomFest, author of "Maxims of Wall Street" (among many other things), and famed economist and investment analyst Mark Skousen joins us from the 2012 New Orleans Investment Conference. Speaking to us about the demise of Western civilization, he gives his take on the many facets of what was a hot topic at this year's conference, including why GDP isn't a good indicator of very much, what he views as the role of education is the rise and fall of cultures, and much more. Kitco News, November 1, 2012.

St. Paul Lutheran's founding pastor, Rev. Jacob J. Siegrist began serving the German Lutheran St. Paulus Congregation of Stillwater, Minnesota in 1870. In 1872, under Rev. Siegrist's leadership, the first church and parsonage were constructed on South Third Street.
To meet the need of a growing congregation, a new building was built in 1912, with Rev. A.C. Ernst conducting the dedication services. Growth continued, and a third church was built at our present day site at 609 South Fifth Street. The dedication took place in 1952 with Rev. Ernst, now pastor emeritus, participating and Pastor Leonard Ziemer conducting the service.
A new addition to the church was added in 2003 to expand the classrooms, the social hall, the office area, and to create a larger more open gathering area. The dedication took place with Bishop Peter Rogness participating and Pastor Steve Sampson conducting the service. Pastor Mark Becker, who became our Lead Pastor in September 2007, retired in July of 2013. We are currently in a time of transition. Our Profile committee has done a wonderful job of creating the profile of our congregation and submitted that inforamtion to the St. Paul Area Synod. Our call committee has been formed and will soon be getting some pastoral candidates from the Synod and will begin the process of selecting a new lead pastor. In the meantime, we are blessed to have a wonderful interim pastor, Pastor Rebecca Thurmann.
