A Destinctively Santa Fe bed breakfast!
Santa Fe bed breakfast Pueblo Bonito was honestly the highlight of our New Mexico travels. Such a lovely, quiet place and so well preserved. We absolutely loved our Santa Clara room. The beamed ceiling, kiva fireplace, pine wood floors, 1930's entry door, mosaic tiled soaking tub and so many other features that just brought historic Santa Fe to life for us. I'm so glad we found you! You made our trip special and we're hoping to return in another year. The staff was helpful and sincerely friendly, yet not overbearing!
Response: Well, we\'re thrilled you found us too! Thank you for sharing your experience with potential guests. It\'s extremely gratifying for us to hear how we impacted your entire trip so positively. We are definately unique! Our city is, but our property is very reflective of Santa Fe\'s historic culture and history. We strive to provide an authentic, historic adobe pueblo Santa Fe lodging experience for New Mexico visitors and it sound as if we did an excellent job of it! Thank you for the opporutnity to serve you- looking forward to your return!
Pueblo Bonito provides the same comfort and family warmth as a stay at a favorite Aunt's home. The details make the heart warm, the breakfast makes the tummy warm and happy as well. Do not leave without trying the "Tamales", they are authentic and scrumptious , the best I have had in the US of A by far .
Do yourself a favor and enjoy an extended stay in Santa Fe, Pueblo Bonito is the best place to stay during what will surely be an enchanted visit to New Mexico.
Response: Thank you Paul for the review! We\'re thrilled especially to have a seasoned travel guide such as yourself enjoy our accomodations, atmosphere, tamales and overall experience to the capacity you state in you review. That speaks volumnes of what we offer and how we treat our guets- thank you! We certainly do enjoy our guests and love to share our unique city and property with each one. You\'re welcome anytime and hope to see you on a return visit to Santa Fe soon!
Really Fun Place
Eating frozen tamales while writing this review is a far cry from the delicious fresh ones served at Pueblo Bonito's breakfast. The food was fantastic and accommodating of gluten-free dietary requirements. The interesting history of the property adds interest and the room was very comfortable. Kiva fire place adds to the effect of a winter night in Santa Fe, and it's close enough to walk back and forth to the plaza. We will be returning.
Response: Thank you for the review and kind words! Glad to know you enjoyed our tamales. They have become quite well known and many a guest testify to them as \"THE BEST IN NEW MEXICO\" (quite a title to live up to!). As you state, our breakfast breakfast selections offer a wide variety of items so as to accomodate all dietary requirments including: Gluten free, dairy intolerant, diabetic, vegetarian, vegan as well as pastry, wheat and meat lovers! Thank you for sharing your appreciation of our historic property- dates back to 1860- and includes many an interesting character and story of days gone by. Our history is highlighted on our website if anyone is interested! All 18 of our historic, adobe guest rooms include a corner kiva fireplace- a unique and nastalgic feature for guests to expereince when staying only at Pueblo Bonito bed beakfast inn! We look forward to your return and will enjoy sharing many suggestions on sites and other Old Santa Fe experiences you. Till your return, be safe! Amy & Herb Behm- Innkeepers
Home away from home.
Our memories of Santa Fe and our " home away from home", Pueblo Bonito, warm our hearts all through the year.
Dick& Roxane Cooper
Response: Hello Dick and Roxane! Thank you for sharing with us and potential guests the enjoyment you have expereinced with Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn- Santa Fe. Your description of us as your \"home away from home\" is a huge compliment. We strive to welcome and serve our guests in a manner that is comfortable, sincere and hospitable. We hope to see you again soon, but until then, take care and our best to you and yours! Amy & Herb Behm- Innkeepers
Lovely Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast
We had such a lovely time with you in Santa Fe and are truly enjoying the special round Navajo baskets and little coral bird necklace purchased at your gift shop. You made us and everyone feel very welcomed and that breakfast was delicious (the warm tamales with salsa still makes my mouth water!) What a lovely place to have there and we will let people that may visit Santa Fe about Pueblo Bonito for sure.
We also like talking with Strelsa who is a real gem and such a friendly person.
So from the frozen tundra :) Jim and I wish you all a very good new year!
Linda and Jim Lubner
Response: Hello Linda and Jim! Thank you for taking the time to make this review and for your kind words. We loved having you with us at Pueblo Bonito bed breakfast in downtown Santa Fe, NM. I\'m glad you enjoyed our gift shop- it is unique and whimsical- very much like traditional Old Santa Fe (without the high prices of the plaza!). I\'m so glad you enjoyed our tamales as well! It brings us great joy when guests sit down for breakfast and enjoy these traditional New Mexico handmade treats as they are specially made for our guests by a local family! I\'ll make sure Strelsa reads this so she knows how much she\'s appreciated, not only by us, but by you- our guests. She is a gem and we consider her a part of our family as she\'s been with us now for 7 years! We wish you the very best and hope you\'re staying warm up therein the \"tundra\"!! We\'ll light a fire in the kiva for you and send you our warm wishes! Sincerely- Amy Behm- Owner/Innkeeper
Great Santa Fe Experience
Pueblo Bonito provided such a pleasurable place to stay to experience Santa Fe. After 6 prior trips, we feel we found the MOST "true to historic preservation" of any place we've enjoyed staying. Extremely quaint, quirky and reflective of historic culture and construction- inside and out! Our room's kiva fireplace was so appreciated and fun. Unique in-room features like mosaic tiled tub; unevenly hand finished adobe walls; hand peeled viga beamed ceilings; a nicho-style bathroom vanity; 1930 antique kitchen; hand carved corbel; lace curtain accents- all added an unique flavor to our stay. An outside horno (Indian bread oven) dates back to 1860. We LOVE visiting Santa Fe, NM and Pueblo Bonito really brought the city's history to life in a way we enjoyed. We will definitely be back ... sooner than later :)
Response: Thank you Lizzy for sharing your recent experience with us at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn! We are so happy and appreciative of your feedback. We definately are unique! One of a kind is a very accurate description of our accomodations- thank you for your insights. We\'re so glad you enjoy our intentional efforts over the past 70 years of family ownership to retain the authenticity of the many features you list. Original wood work and doors date back to 1930 while the horno (as you stated) along with all exterior walls date back to 1860- originally a West Texas Circuit Judge\'s private estate. We look forward to your return!
Enjoyable and Relaxing Stay
Thanks Herb and Amy for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We especially enjoyed the breakfast tamales and all the fresh fruit and other amenities. Thanks again, David & Charlene Coward
Response: Thank you David and Charlene! Yes, those breakfast tamales are certainly a treat. So much so, that guests by them by the dozen to take home and share with family and friends. We\'re so glad you enjoyed them too as well as the fresh fruit and other amenities we offer at Pueblo Bonito b&b. I hope you were able to enjoy a crackling fire in your room\'s kiva fireplace as the temperatures were beginning to drop down during your mid-October visit. That\'s such a treat too. We\'re the only lodging facilty in downtown Santa Fe that provides each room (18 total) with a real working (burning) kiva fireplace. Please come back and visit us again. We\'ll have many sites, restaurants, and ideas for you to enjoy and visit! Sincerley- Amy Behm (Owner)
Great Spot to Stay in Santa Fe.
We really enjoyed our four nights at the Pueblo Bonito Bed and Breakfast Inn. It was comfortable, clean, the owners and staff gave us lots of great suggestions, and it was just a very pleasant experience. It's about a 10-15" minute walk to town, but after all we ate, that was just fine!
Response: Thank you for the reveiw. We appreciate knowing you enjoyed your stay with us and found our accomodations to be comfortable, clean and an all around pleasant experience! Our location is in downtown- right next to the NM State capitol which is borded by the Old Santa Fe Trail! A 10-15 minute stroll from our inn north would pass you by the state capitol, San Miguel mission, oldest house, Loreto Chapel, Plaza, Palace of the Governors and take you to the convention center! That\'s how close we are to all the amazing site, sounds and delicious scents of historic Santa Fe! Glad you enjoyed you stay and please know you\'re always welcome back at Pueblo Bonito bed & breakfast inn. Again, thank you- Amy Behm (Owner)
Wonderful Time at Pueblo Bonito Inn.
Thank you very much Pueblo Bonito staff. I had a wonderful time while in Santa Fe and really enjoyed the inn. I got home safe and sound and I will certainly pass on your name to friends, relatives and co-workers. I hope to return one day and enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of historic old Santa Fe.
Response: Sounds great Vivian. We hope to see you again too. So glad to know you enjoyed yourself! Take care and until you return- our best to you and yours! Amy Behm Owner
Was Everything We Hoped.
We had a wonderful time in Santa Fe and your accommodations were lovely. My husband and I always wanted to stay in An authentic adobe style inn - and we have to say your inn did not disappoint us. Your accommodations were excellent. We especially liked your warm and informative greeting when we first arrived. Your quick tour of the entire Santa Fe downtown area, accompanied with a map, was priceless. We will return!
Response: Thank you Jaime for sharing your first time experience with us at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast! We love hosting you and anxiously look forward to a return visit. So glad your expectations were met and your description of our property is exact! \"An Authentic adobe style inn\". FYI: Our property was built in 1860 and is comprised of three seperate buildings, surrounded by a thick adobe wall with archways and wrought iron gates! Two foot thick adobe walls, the original horno (Native American bread oven), secluded courtyards and mature landscaping all add to the enhancement of a perfect historic Santa Fe vacation memory. Serving guests now for 30 years, you\'ll always get a warm personalize welcome from us as well as a great map and plenty of \"inside suggestions\" to maximize your vacation time in our unique city. Thank you again for leaving this review and until your return..... Our best regards- Amy Behm Innkeeper/Owner
Greatly Enjoyed our Stay.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Pueblo Bonito Bed & Breakfast. It's a great location and loved the rooms. If we ever return to Santa Fe we would be booking with these folks. Again thanks for all your hospitality and accommodating all our needs.
Response: Well thank you Raymond! We sincerely appreciate your comments and the time it took to share your experience with potential guests of Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn. Please come back anytime- you\'re always welcome to Santa Fe\'s most popular downtown bed and breakfast inn! (Voted 2011, 2012 and 2013 Guest Favorite from over 8,500 properties throughout the US and Canada!). bnbfinder.com
Good Place to Stay in Downtown Santa Fe.
Room was very quiet - no road noise, absolutely no noise from other rooms, including no sounds of plumbing or televisions or voices! Price was extremely reasonable for downtown SF during Indian Market- we expected to pay much more so we like this. Walking distance from downtown and rail-yard district was nice too. Breakfast was well rounded and good and other guests were very pleasant to talk to. Room size was good, with generous closet space. Refrigerator and microwave were handy and appreciated. We would stay again!
Response: Thank you Norm! We loved having you and apprecaite your reveiw. It\'s a nice thorough overview of your accomodations with us. We\'d love to have you with us for a future stay. I can\'t agree with you more as our pricing is very reasonable for the package we offer and out steller location! (Free breakfast buffet, afternoon tea, parking (up to a $35/nt savings in downtown!), and Wi-Fi.)
Hope to Return
Thank you for the lovely anniversary card and for remembering Jan and I. Hopefully, we will have an opportunity to stay with you again. We loved your Inn- especially it's proximity to everything. Such a delightful city to stroll and enjoy. Your inn was so reflective of native culture and history which made our trip even more enjoyable- there's no other place like it in downtown Santa Fe.
Jan and Tully Butler
Response: Thank you Jan and Tully. So glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, our inn and our city! We do have an excellent location for touring all the exciting historic, cultural and art sites, etc. It\'s a fun city to visit and walk eveywhere from our inn! Please remember, you\'re always welcome at Pueblo Bonito b&b inn.
Highly Recommend!
I do not do Facebook, etc., but want to thank the folks of Pueblo Bonito bed breakfast once again for a wonderful stay while visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico. I also want to highly recommend this delightful little bed breakfast to others.
Response: Thank you Margaret, very much! We apprecaite your patronage and your recommendation to other potential guests of Pueblo Bonito Inn. We are glad we were able to make your visit wonderful and invite you back anytime- we\'d love to see you again. Amy Behm- Innkeeper
Enchanting. Fun. A Must do for Santa Fe!
I can't say enough positive things about this enchanting property, it's staff and the experience we had while in Santa Fe, NM. Our accommodations were perfect. The flavor of the region and culture of funky Northern New Mexico were abundant in this bed and breakfast. Breakfasts were very enjoyable- love those tamales! The grounds were quiet, serene and so fun to come back to after sightseeing, shopping or museum hopping. We stayed for five days in Santa Fe and were busy every day thanks to the suggestions given to us by staff. We loved our stay. We will be back and we will bring friends next time! Thank you Pueblo Bonito.
Response: Thank you Beverly and Gary. It was a pleasure to host you both and we\'re delighted to know how we were able to help make your travel to Santa Fe memorable. We appreciate the feedback and accolades! We do have a unique and special property as well as staff and city to live in. Thank you for taking the time to share it all with us and we hope you\'ll hurry back to see us!

GM Facing Tough Scrutiny from Senators Investigating Recall View Count: 71
On Thursday, Senator Clair McCaskill asked why General Motors top lawyer is still employed by the company, according to The Wall Street Journal. This question shows that lawmakers investigating the company are going to dig deeper for changes to the senior staff at the automaker following its recall of small vehicles due to the ignition switch failure.
The delay in the recall of the vehicles lasted some 11 years and senators looking into it pressed General Motors to expand its compensation program for victims.
"How in the world, in the aftermath of this report, did Michael Millikin keep his job?" McCaskill, (D., Mo.) asked when she made her opening statements. "I do not understand how the general counsel for the litigation department that had this massive failure of responsibility—how he would be allowed to continue in that important leadership role in this company."

McCaskill's statements come on the heels of Millikin and GM Chief Executive Mary Barra prepare to testify as to why it took GM 11 years to recall the vehicles. All told, some 2.6 million cars were recalled due to a faulty ignition switch that led to the deactivation of airbags and the deaths of 13 people. Lawyers for the plaintiffs claim that the number is higher.
"From my viewpoint, the CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra, has stepped up and with courage and conviction has confronted head-on the problem and the corporate culture that caused it," McCaskill said in her opening remarks. "Some see the record number of recalls at General Motors as a problem. I see it as a good sign."

Here is my problem. I have a category called "Product Users". There is a sub category under "Product Users" called "Artists". When a company registers with my directory they have to choose a category or sub category for search purposes. So when a user goes to the advanced search they can narrow the search results down by category or sub category. If Company A registers under the sub category of "Artists" and a user searches under "Artists" then Company A shows up. But if a user searches under "Product Users" Company A is not showing up. Being "Artists" is a sub category of "Product Users" shouldn't Company A (registered under "Artists") also show up in a search for "Product Users"? How do I make this happen?

Growing U.S. Para Dressage: Show Organizers and the Need for U.S. Para Dressage Judges
"I take my heart out of my chest, put it on the table and put it back in after the ride because it's so amazing what these riders do - I'd give them all 10s." Hanneke Gerritsen
The growing presence of U.S. Para Dressage is evident with more venues running CPEDI3* in tandem with their CDIs, along with the rising number of entries that reflect new rider interest and talent. However, the cost of importing accredited FEI PE judges is an added burden for show organizers making the need for approved U.S. PE judges acute. To that end, USEF has scheduled an FEI PE Dressage Judges' Course to be held March 9-11 2012 at The Dressage Affaire in Del Mar, CA led by FEI 5* judge Hanneke Gerritsen from the Netherlands.
The course will be for promotion to FEI 3* and 4* judge. To fulfill the FEI criteria, participants must be a Prix St. George judge (Able-Bodied) in their own country. It is also possible to ask to sit in. USEF is hoping to add a Para Steward segment as well. Info to be posted online shortly at: www.usef.org/newsletterLicensedOfficials/2012schedule.html
Widely acknowledged as a top authority on Para, Gerritsen judges worldwide and served as Technical Delegate for the 2010 World Equestrian Games, as well as for the upcoming 2012 Paralympics in London. She coached the Dutch Para-Equestrian Team from 2000 to 2004. In addition, she is a Grand Prix judge and a selector/trainer for new dressage judges at all levels. Speaking to the particular demands of scoring para dressage, she emphasizes the judges cannot be swayed by the disability factor.
"I take my heart out of my chest, put it on the table and put it back in after the ride because it's so amazing what these riders do - I'd give them all 10s."
Defining New Judges
"Para Dressage is the only discipline growing right now," believes S judge Kristi Wysocki, Elbert, CO. She recently passed the FEI Para judging course in Mexico City to be approved as an FEI Para 3* judge. For 2012, the rules are slightly altered with the star status replacing the past terminology: 2* (new), 3* (was Candidate), 4* (was International) and 5* (was Official). "You need a solid dressage background," advised Wysocki who found the course conducted by 5* judge Carlos Lopez of Portugal and Ann Prain from France outstanding but intensive. Part of her exam consisted of judging orally at the CPEDI3* competition. "Just like you have to ignore that it's Steffan Peters, you can't get too focused on the rider," she noted. But observing the nuts-and-bolts dedication of all the Para riders in Mexico hooked Wysocki. "These riders impressed me beyond belief with their courage and determination diving head first into international competition on borrowed horses. Not many dressage riders would do it. Imagine riding your freestyle on a horse you just met!" While she noted that this is a group used to problem solving and adapting, she found the spirit of camaraderie and shared ambition very refreshing.
Ultimately, for Wysocki, judging and riding dressage highlights the profound communication between horse and rider. "It's the part of horses I love the most. Its really interesting with Para how that communication goes on. Para solidifies for me the magic people can have with horses."
Streamlining the PE Judge Process
While any judge can judge a PE class below the CDI level, a clearer path of accreditation and promotions for U.S. National Para judges would benefit many judges who have expressed interest but contend with heavy schedules. As a large R judge, David Schmutz, Glendale, CA attended an IPEC clinic run by Anita Owen and came away amazed by what these riders can do. But also that the judging remains true to able-bodied dressage.
"Para still utilizes the training pyramid. Scoring reflects correct gaits, required movements, effectiveness of aids and the how horse goes," he says. Schmutz has volunteered in Europe and apprentice judged for free but stresses the need for courses such as the one in Del Mar to prepare for the exam.
The FEI has a well-defined, active way of approving PE judges and stewards through courses, clinics and forums. Worldwide 50-60 judges hold FEI 4* cards or above. The U.S. and Canada total 12 FEI 3* judges but not all are current. For PE National accredited judges an IPEC or PE refresher course now lasts five years, up from three. Applying for courses and all licensing for FEI goes through USEF.
Para Appeal For Show Organizers CDI to Local
Show organizer Kim Keenan-Stordahl of The Dressage Affaire in Del Mar heeded the call for CDI status in 2010, adding a CPEDI3*, which continued in 2011. Keenan admits she felt slightly apprehensive at first because it was an unknown but said working with the USPEA.org made it easy to get answers to questions.
"I was not at all familiar with Para Dressage but it felt right immediately to include it in the show. It does require additional consideration to manage it safely and well but I think it most definitely enhances our show." She concurs that Para attracts a new audience for dressage, making it less elitist (and dare say, boring). Headset commentary that can explain a rider's physical challenge (not always readily apparent in the saddle), along with the test helps enlighten and broaden dressage's audience appeal.
"It's always been my mission to connect the Equestrian Community with the community at large and this accomplishes that and then some. It's a perfect fit for Dressage Affaire." It also creates a connection between the disciplines as both Para and able-bodied riders inspire each other.
Response from elite riders at Del Mar and at the CDI/CPEDI3* at NEDA/Saugerties, NY was overwhelmingly positive. Rider/trainer Mette Rosencranz was impressed and enthusiastic. "It's great to have para here together with us and to see the Canadian and Mexican teams. We draw energy off each other!"
"The important thing is to find a safe way to blend the two competitions, not keep them separate," says Keenan-Stordahl. Designated warm up times in the same area works. She tries to make sure that the competition feels important and special with great prizes and goes the extra distance to help the riders with whatever they might need. NEDA show organizer, Beth Jenkins at Saugerties, NY, designated four golf carts as rider shuttles from the stables to the rings or anywhere on the large show grounds and made sure riders had parking permits to get close to the barns, which the riders and their entourage much appreciated. Para should be embraced as a boon for the dressage community as a whole. It's uplifting to root for the riders and powerful to see how horses transform mere mortals into picture of grace, elegance and skill in the sport.
By Popular Demand For Any Show
As the organizer of Dressage at Saratoga, Regina Cristo asks why not offer PE classes? "Any show can do it, it's easy for smaller shows to add FEI TOC classes. It doesn't cost anything." For local shows, to make PE classes more attractive to offer as Grades I through III use the 20 x 40 ring size, it can be as simple as moving a chain inside the larger ring to shorten the arena or scheduling with intro or quadrille classes.
For DAS, having a $1500 PE high point sponsor is huge to attract entries. Cristo has found that like the freestyles, PE attracts spectators and brings in people new to the sport. However, she stresses the need for PR to let people know. Put it in the local papers, advertise it, it interests people. "There are lots of people dealing with handicaps and it's very encouraging to other people. There's untapped support out there."

- Comp & Benefits

- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Avaloq full-time (more than a year)
ProsFull of skilled and motivated people
Half flex-time, core hours 10-4 but can be switched around in the week
Company spends a lot of effort in the beginning on training, even including a few weeks at the head office in Zurich
Software development is the core business, so opportunities for promotion in technical roles e.g. senior developer or software architect
New office: raise-able desks to standing height (big plus in a desk-job profession), pool table in common area and expensive coffee machines
At present the company has very good prospects, a lot of sales successes and a lot of future work and business to come.Cons40 hour working week, bit high for Edinburgh, though flexi-time does mitigate this somewhat (in any other job you'd work extra hours at times without being able to get it back the next day)
Swiss culture takes some time getting used to. Google translate often needed for German/French/Spanish issues/specifications etc.
Overall benefits are good but pay for Edinburgh is a bit flat. Company seems to just try and meet "market rate".RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO -
"Not a very happy place "

I worked at Avaloq full-time
Pros- A good place to start if you want to learn about banking and to pursue a career in this area.
- Some really smart, skillful and hard working people.
- Interesting and diverse set of technologies.Cons- The main focus of the company seems to be on increasing the sales and getting more customers; not necessarily improving on the innovation aspects or investing in the company culture or values.
- There is serious lack of communication and management skills in some of the lower level managers and team leads. There are some arrogant and selfish employees.
- Some teams and projects have constant re-organization and relatively high rate of turnover (including turnover of really good employees).
- A significant number of employees complain about not receiving the bonuses they deserve. Management seems to be stingy about the bonus.
- Overall, the general mood and the culture in the company does not look very happy. Some employees look either stressed or unsatisfied with what they do. There are some old gaming consoles in the building but nobody really uses them because there is no culture similar to Silicon Valley tech companies (Google, Facebook etc).Advice to ManagementAdvice- Invest more in your employees, office culture and values.
- Select intermediate management more carefully.
- Improve the benefits.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO -

Swing State Voters Mull Obama's Announcement
Some voters in Colorado are not happy about President Obama's decision to come out in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
KIRK SIEGLER, BYLINE: I'm Kirk Siegler at the Centerra Promenade, an outdoor shopping mall in Larimer County, Colorado. It's considered a key swing county within a swing state.
ANDREW CON: I'm not against gays, but I just - I don't approve of it, you know.
SIEGLER: Republican and military veteran Andrew Con is unloading his kids from his car by Macy's.
CON: I'm not really religious, but I believe in the Bible. And in the Bible it states, you know, a man and a woman. It doesn't state two men or two women.
SIEGLER: Across the parking lot, Sandy Sanders says she's planning to vote for Mitt Romney. This was the first she had heard for President Obama's declaration on same-sex marriage.
SANDY SANDERS: Actually, I'm kind of shocked he made the announcement before the election. So, at least people know more where he stands.
SIEGLER: Still, it's not clear how important gay marriage really is for voters in places like this. Larimer County swung in Mr. Obama's favor in 2008, and it's obvious just by walking around this mall that it's not an issue most people feel comfortable talking about with a reporter. For example, Richard, who refused to give his last name because he said the issue is so sensitive, would only say this...
RICHARD: Civil unions are the way to go. That way, they get all the legal rights, and it leaves marriage between a man and a woman.
SIEGLER: A similar case is being made by Colorado's Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper. He called a special session of the state legislature yesterday, ordering lawmakers to reconsider a stalled civil unions bill. For NPR News, I'm Kirk Siegler, in Denver.

The Feast of Theophany in Belgrade
19. January 2015 - 22:59Central celebration of the feast of Theophany with traditional throwing of the Holy Cross into the water and swimming of the young people to catch the Cross at the Sava lake.
The feast day's Holy Hierarchal Liturgy in the church of Saint George in Belgrade on Banovo brdo was served by His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch.
Synaxis of the Holy Glorious Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John
19. January 2015 - 19:38In the Orthodox Church it is customary, on the day following the Great Feasts of the Lord and the Mother of God, to remember those saints who participated directly in the sacred event. So, on the day following the Theophany of the Lord, the Church honors the one who participated directly in the Baptism of Christ, placing his own hand upon the head of the Savior.
Homily on the Theophany
18. January 2015 - 22:26On the day of the feast of Theophany—the Baptism of the Lord—it is not out of place to remember another baptism: that baptism which was performed over each of us Orthodox Christians, that baptism at which each of us, by the mouth of our godparents, gave a promise to God that he would always renounce Satan and his works and would always unite himself, "join himself" with Christ.
This, I repeat, is especially fitting for this present day. The solemn rite of the Great Sanctification of Water will be performed shortly. Its center, its main part, one could say, is the majestic prayer wherein the Lord is glorified and the grace of the Holy Spirit is called down upon the water being sanctified. This prayer begins with the beautiful words: "Great art Thou, O Lord, and marvelous are Thy works, and no word sufficeth to hymn Thy wonders." Whoever has been at a performance of the mystery of Baptism and was present attentively, knows that the prayer at the sanctification of the water in which a man will be baptized begins with these same words, and the first part of this prayer is completely the same, both at the Great Sanctification of Water and at the performance of the mystery of Baptism. And only later, in the last part, does the prayer at the performance of the mystery of Baptism change, as applicable to this mystery, when a new human soul will be baptized.
Prime Minister Vucic on Kosovo and Metochia
15. January 2015 - 9:43Bishop Teodosije of Raska-Prizren with the faithful welcomed Prime Minister of Serbia Mr. Aleksandar Vucic in Monastery Gracanica and consecrated the monument to King Milutin on 14 January 2015.
Bishop Teodosije, along with Serbian political representatives from Kosovo and Metochia and more than a thousand of Serbs welcomed in Grachanica monastery Prime Minister Mr. Aleksandar Vucic accompanied by six government ministers. While visiting the Kosovo Pomoravlje region, Prime Minister Vucic opened a maternity in Pasjane.
Saint Basil the Great, Archbishop of Caesarea
14. January 2015 - 8:31Basil was born during the reign of Emperor Constantine. While still unbaptized, Basil spent fifteen years in Athens where he studied philosophy, rhetoric, astronomy and all other secular sciences of that time. His colleagues at that time were Gregory the Theologian and Julian, later the apostate emperor. In his mature years he was baptized in the river Jordan along with Euvlios his former teacher. He was Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia for almost ten years and completed his earthly life fifty years after his birth. He was a great defender of Orthodoxy, a great light of moral purity, a religious zealot, a great theological mind, a great builder and pillar of the Church of God. Basil fully deserved the title "Great." In liturgical services, he is referred to as the "bee of the Church of Christ which brings honey to the faithful and with its stinger pricks the heretics.
The Circumcision of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
On the eighth day after His Nativity, our Lord Jesus Christ was circumcised in accordance with the Old Testament Law. All male infants underwent circumcision as a sign of God's Covenant with the holy Forefather Abraham and his descendants (Gen. 17:10-14, Lev. 12:3).
After this ritual the Divine Infant was given the name Jesus, as the Archangel Gabriel declared on the day of the Annunciation to the Most Holy Theotokos (Luke 1:31-33, 2:21). The Fathers of the Church explain that the Lord, the Creator of the Law, underwent circumcision in order to give people an example of how faithfully the divine ordinances ought to be fulfilled. The Lord was circumcised so that later no one would doubt that He had truly assumed human flesh, and that His Incarnation was not merely an illusion, as certain heretics (Docetists) taught.

good bowl
we bought these for our 4 cats. However, 2 of the cats won't eat out of them because the center stainless insert moves around in the plastic part of the bowl. Since we used the bowls, we can't return them. But they will be put to good use as we are donating them to our local animal shelter.

This can be verified by function composition.
For ii) The range of f is the even elements so the function is not onto.
I hope this helps.

I did not meet the doctor, he might be okay. Stay away from Rockwood Clinic, if you have a choice. They told me to be there 2:30 to fill out papers and gave me the appointment for 3:00. I got there before 2:30 and filled out the papers, then waited and waited. At 3:10 I asked the intake person if the doctor will be able to see me soon. I was told I am next. At 3:20 I asked again and was told that my appointment was set for 3:00 (like why are you complaining?). I said that I cannot wait much longer and so, at 3:30 I left without being seen by the doctor.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Snook season closed May 1 in the Gulf of Mexico but you still can catch the legendary Florida linesider as long as you release the fish alive and unharmed.
Florida's management of snook is widely considered a conservation success story. One reason is because over the years an increasing number of anglers have embraced catch-and-release fishing for snook, even when the season is open to harvest.
The species is particularly hardy in this respect. Studies by state biologists show that 98 percent of snook, a higher percentage than red drum or spotted seatrout, survive upon release.
If you catch a snook during the closed season, be sure to take photograph to show friends and family back home. Nothing beats a good fish picture, but you would be surprised just how many people can't seem to get it right.
With that in mind, here are a few tips for photographing fish.
The first thing to remember, get the light right. Even on a sunny day, a flash can help bring out the natural colors of a fish. A flash also helps remove the shadow cast by ball caps, favored by most fishermen on the water.
Anglers should remember to always shoot with the sun at their back. If not, the picture will look washed out. And when that sun is at your back, be mindful of your own shadow.
A clean background is also important. Shoot with a blue sky and blue water in the background. Don't wait until you get back to the boat ramp or even worse, your driveway, to shoot the picture. Keep the background simple and natural.
Eliminate as much clutter (fishing rods, tee tops, etc.) from the photograph as possible. Look at the details before you shoot. If your subject is shirtless, wait until they cover up; nothing ruins a great fishing photo like a trophy-sized beer belly.
Another common mistake is that many anglers stand too far from the subject. Get close. When you look through the viewfinder, fill up the frame with the angler and the fish.
In most fishing shots, the angler holds the fish horizontally, which means you'll have a lot of sky or water in the frame. To counter that, have your subject hold the fish at an angle.
I always keep a camera, or a smart phone, handy just in case I land a big one. You should do the same. In the Fishing Capital of the World, you never know what you'll catch.

Album: Reunited
Genre: Christian
I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead at last to my friend
I believe that the Christ
Who was slain on the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He changed me completely
A new life is mine
And that is why by the cross
I will stay
I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

Resistojet rocket
This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. (July 2011) |
A resistojet is a method of spacecraft propulsion (electric propulsion) that provides thrust by heating a (typically non-reactive) fluid. Heating is usually achieved by sending electricity through a resistor consisting of a hot incandescent filament, with the expanded gas expelled through a conventional nozzle.[1]
Resistojets have been flown in space since 1965 on board military Vela satellites. However, they only became used in commercial applications in 1980 with the launch of the first satellites in the INTELSAT-V program. Nowadays resistojet propulsion is used for orbit insertion, attitude control, and deorbit of LEO satellites, including satellites in the Iridium satellite constellation[1] and do well in situations where energy is much more plentiful than mass, and where propulsion efficiency needs to be reasonably high but low thrust is acceptable.[citation needed]

The Deal: U.K. Regulator Probes Google's Waze Purchase
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- The U.K.'s Office of Fair Trading on Tuesday issued an invitation to comment on Google's (GOOG) completed acquisition of Israeli mobile navigation company Waze Inc.
On issuing the invitation to comment, the OFT follows on the heels of the Federal Trade Commission, which began probing the deal in June amid suggestions Google had erred in its decision not to notify the U.S. regulator of the transaction prior to its closing.
A person familiar with the British situation said that U.K. regulators were aware of the FTC investigation, but had acted independently.
The Waze purchase closed in mid-June and was reportedly worth about $1 billion, though the Mountain View, Calif., buyer never disclosed the purchase price.
The OFT investigates takeovers which would create a more than 25% share of the supply of a certain product or service, or where the business being acquired derives more than £70 million ($108.8 million) of revenue from the U.K.Last year it investigated and ultimately cleared Facebook's (FB - Get Report) $1 billion purchase of Instagram. The OFT works to an extendible 40-day deadline from the initial invitation to comment, after which it could clear the transaction, agree on undertakings with the companies involved, or refer the deal to Britain's Competition Commission for an in-depth probe. The OFT called for comments on the Google/Waze deal by Sept. 9, but hasn't yet issue a date for its final decision. The case officer in charge of the probe is Lisa Hughes. Google said last week it will now include real-time incident reports from Waze in its Google Maps product for devices using the Android and Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) iOS operating systems. It has also said it is cooperating with the FTC investigation. Waze aims to connect drivers in the same area by automatically collecting data from users who type in their destination address and leave the Waze app open. Users are also able to submit road reports on accidents, police activity or hazards.

Janet Plenert, Director of Canadian Operations, and a client from High River, Alberta, share at the All-Unit meeting.
Reawakening hope, rebuilding hope or restoring hope, no matter how it is expressed, is at the core of the work and experience of Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS).
This was no more evident than during the recent MDS All-Unit Annual Meeting held February 13-14 at the Hartville Mennonite Church in Hartville, Ohio, where close to 300 MDS volunteers, staff and donors came together to celebrate the work of MDS.
The meeting brought together a broad spectrum of Amish, Brethren-in-Christ and Mennonites all under one roof to share how love awakens hope when disaster strikes.
The theme of the meeting was "A Touch of Love Awakens a Taste of Hope" and was based on Song of Songs 8:7, "Many waters cannot quench love."
In a short presentation, Michelle Pruitt, owner of a new MDS-built home in Crisfield, Maryland, spoke about her escape from the storm and eventual loss of her home of 30 years. Crisfield is a small fishing community on the eastern shore of Maryland that was devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
For a year after the storm Michelle and her family made the best of it by repairing what they could in their home and using duct tape to keep their house together. "We did the best we could," Pruitt said. "The foundation had shifted, the bricks were crumbling, and the walls were coming off the foundation." The house was eventually condemned.
"After about a year we heard that there was a group in town," she said, "and our two angels arrived, Ray and Martha Zimmerman and said that they could help us."
The Zimmerman's, of Turbotville, Penna, are project managers for the Crisfield MDS work and have spent much of the past 18 months working with local authorities and the long term recovery team to build nearly 25 houses.
"This wonderful group arrived October 13 to start banging the first nail into our house," she continued. "I was a little worried at first as the group was a little older than I expected to be building house. But what these guys did was absolutely amazing. The volunteers came in week after week."
Following her presentation, the Zimmerman's handed her the keys to her new home as it had recently passed all local inspections and was ready for occupancy. During 2014 MDS had completed construction of nearly a dozen homes with another 12 to be completed in 2015.
Throughout the meeting, similar stories were shared of communities, families and individuals uprooted because of floods, tornados and fires and the way in which MDS volunteers helped survivors move forward with hope.

MDS featured in new book
Brenda Phillips, PhD, Associate Dean at Ohio University in Chillicothe, has published a new book titled "Mennonite Disaster Service and the Gulf Coast Recovery" A long-time friend of MDS, she is a widely published author on disaster recovery and socially vulnerable populations and has received numerous awards and recognition. Phillips is donating all of the royalties of book sales to MDS. To order a book at a download an order form here or call the Binational Office, (717) 735-3536. The book will be "library quality," so consider donating a copy to your church library.
The book has been described as an "academic study and a story—a truly engaging one—of people helping people in a very special way. This is a close up view of those who experienced the destruction of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ike and those from the Mennonite Disaster Service who came to help. Together they built a classic therapeutic community. This important book is a valuable resource not only for students and academics who will find rich empirical support for many theoretical concepts, but for anyone who wants to understand and appreciate giving and receiving in disaster recovery."— Maureen Fordham, Northumbria University

Companies That Might Not Survive This Crisis
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Get Report)
How the mighty have fallen! AMD was once a genuine competitor in the global semiconductor business. Its market share (2.9%) and global ranking (no. 8) in the industry peaked in 2006, but was still dwarfed by Intel (INTC - Get Report) that has a vise grip over the industry, with market share in the 12-13% range (Market share and ranking data source: iSuppli Corp.). AMD's market cap also peaked in 2006 at around $24 billion. Revenues peaked in 2005 at about $5.85 billion.
However, strategic mistakes have since plagued the company. AMD over expanded its production facilities, knows as "fabs" in the industry. In 2007, the company made mistakes with the design and production of its quad-core server and desktop chips. Earlier this month, AMD announced that it was going to delay a planned spin-off in the company's attempts to outsource its chip production.
Now, AMD faces declining market share, an economic dilemma and cash-rich competitors, such as Intel and Texas Instruments (TXN), which can weather the current storm. AMD's debt rating is CCC+, which is categorized as "junk." In 2005 and 2006 combined, the company generated nearly $2.8 billion in cash flow from operations. In 2007 and 2008, the company burned a lot of cash (while I don't have the exact amount, I estimate the total to be just over $1 billion). AMD's debt grew from $1.3 billion at the end of 2005 to $4.7 billion at the end of 2008. When you put this all together, AMD is in serious financial distress. If the company cannot sell or spin off assets and the chip business remains weak, AMD will have to put itself up for sale or face the possibility of bankruptcy.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
