Getting thereThere are three routes to become a chef and ultimately an executive chef. The best hospitality management graduates are lapped up by big hotels for kitchen management trainee (KMT) programmes, which last for a minimum of two years. After KMT programme, you become a chef de partie, then junior sous chef, sous chef, executive sous chef and executive chef. The second route is kitchen operations training (KOT), one year long. After KOT, you become a demi chef (means half chef), then chef de partie, senior chef de partie, junior sous chef and further on. The other way is to start as a commis, or cook after which you become a demi chef de partie and so on. Else, without a hospitality degree (that is, after Class 12), you could begin as an apprentice, move up as commis and so on

North Carolinian Noah Edmondson wins Bubba Conlee
66 leads to 5-shot victory
As 15-year-old Noah Edmondson sauntered down the fairway toward Quail Ridge Golf Course's 11th green, a parent in the gallery called attention to the North Carolina native.
"See this kid in the Carolina blue?" the parent said. "His name is Noah 'Get down Freddie Brown' Edmondson."
The thing was, that wasn't Edmondson's dad. And while the moniker might be too cumbersome to last, it certainly described his play on a day when he shot a 4-under 66 to pull away and win the 32nd Bubba Conlee National Junior Golf Tournament by five strokes with a 6-under 204 score.
The rising sophomore soared on a day when others found it difficult to score, carding six birdies and an eagle -- his third of the tournament -- in the final round.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. He bogeyed the par-3 13th hole, and followed it up with a double bogey on the par-4 14th hole.
The double bogey could've been worse. Faced with a blind approach to the green, the left-hander yanked his approach right of the green, perilously close to the out of bounds markers.
Despite dropping three strokes on two consecutive holes, Edmondson was confident.
"I was pretty sure I still had a one or two shot lead," Edmondson said. "I went into 15, and I'm like, 'Well, 15 is a birdie hole.'"
It was on the par-5 15th hole where Edmondson dramatically righted the ship.
After a near-perfect drive, his second shot drifted, landing on the lip of a greenside bunker.
With one foot in the sand and the other elevated in the grass, Edmondson arced the club back and forward smoothly -- and almost immediately yelled at the ball to sit.
"I first hit it and I thought, 'Oh man, that's going to go past,'" Edmondson said. "And some lady behind the hole said, 'Oh man, that's going in!'"
The lady had a good eye. The ball clipped the pin and dropped into the cup for an eagle. Edmondson birdied the next hole and cruised for the win.
"He caught a little bit of lightning in a bottle," said his father, Dave Edmondson. "But you could tell after he made the double bogey, he didn't look dejected."
The win was Edmondson's first in a tournament as big as the Bubba Conlee.
"He's always wanted to be able to contend in a tournament like this, and he's a hardworking kid," Dave Edmondson said. "He's the course rat, the first one to get there and the last to go home, when you do that and it pays off in a win like this, as a father it's cool."
Harding Academy graduate Andrew Duff had at least a share of the lead for the first two rounds before ceding it to Edmondson, shooting a 5-over 75 to finish in a tie for fifth.
"I didn't really get anything to go my way," Duff said. "I just wanted to create some memories for my junior golf career and I got a little bit of everything in, some good, some bad."
Duff hopes to play at Pepperdine University next season.
On the girls side, Conway, Ark., native Summer Roachell defended her title, erasing a two-stroke deficit to win by five strokes.
Roachell has finished in the top four in each of her four years in the event.
"I just tried to play consistent the whole time; I've played this course a bunch," Roachell said. "Putting myself in it the first two days really gave me a shot today."

A two-judge Supreme Court bench on Tuesday issued notices to the Centre and to Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag, seeking their response in a case of alleged dacoity by army officials in Assam in 2011. The petitioner in the case has also sought a probe against General Suhag, who was then the head of Dimapur-based GOC 3 Corps, for inaction.
The alleged dacoity took place at the house of Renu Gogoi in Jorhat, Assam on December 21, 2011. Gogoi has claimed that army officials of Corps Intelligence and Surveillance Unit (CISU), Dimapur, led by Captain Rubina Kaur Keer, were involved in the dacoity. On the basis of an enquiry, then Army Chief General VK Singh had imposed a discipline and vigilance ban on Suhag, which was revoked by Singh's successor General Bikram Singh.
In a plea before the Supreme Court, Gogoi said that there has been no progress in the case since her husband lodged an FIR in December 2001, and that the CBI or any other independent agency should take over the probe. The plea also sought direction to the Centre for appropriate action to be taken against senior officers of the Eastern Command under whose jurisdiction the incident occurred.
"Give direction to CBI to investigate the instant case.... or Constitute Special Investigation Team to probe thoroughly the instant case at P.S. Jorhat, Assam, under Sections 395 / 397 IPC on December 21, 2011," the plea said.
"Direct Union of India to initiate action against senior officers of Eastern Command under whose jurisdiction the dacoity took place and the said senior officers deliberately covered up the incident and interfered in the ongoing investigation in the case to shield and protect the erring army officials," it said. "The Indian Army after hijacking the entire investigation has punished its officers by simple reprimand, severe reprimand, 14 days RI in military custody and three months in civil prison. Such an act by the Army shocks the conscience."

Morocco suicide victim of family and society
KHMIS SAHEL, Morocco Escape for 16-year-old Amina Filali from her abusive marriage came in the form of a pill of rat poison she bought in the market for 60 cents.
Pressured by a conservative rural Moroccan society, a judge and her own mother to marry the man she said had raped her at 15 and then abused her for the rest of her marriage, she could only see one way out: Suicide.
"I had to marry her to him, because I couldn't allow my daughter to have no future and stay unmarried," said her mother Zohra in an interview with The Associated Press in their tiny village in northern Morocco, a week after her daughter killed herself.
The Justice Ministry suggests Filali was consenting and not a victim. But her death has called attention to - and prompted outrage over - an article in the penal code absolving the rape of a minor if it is followed by marriage. Activists and social workers are calling for its repeal.
Zohra Filali said she found her daughter being attacked in the forest after hearing she had been waylaid by a man with a knife. She immediately took her daughter to the family home of the man, who was 10 years older, and demanded they marry.
In conservative Middle East societies, a family's honor rests with the women and intercourse outside of wedlock brings a deep shame that can only be remedied with marriage.
The practice dates back to the Old Testament and takes place in conservative or tribal parts in the Muslim world, such as Afghanistan.
In the story told by Amina's parents, it becomes clear that the mother was the primary force behind her daughter's marriage, which was then sanctioned by a judge and the law which permits underage marriages to "resolve" rape cases.
Morocco updated its family code in 2004 in a landmark improvement of the situation of women, but activists say there's still room for improvement.
In cases of rape, the burden of proof is often on the victim and if she can't prove she was attacked, a woman risks being prosecuted for debauchery.
The French version of Article 475 of the 1962 penal code says that the "kidnapper" - a term that can refer to an attacker or rapist - of a minor cannot be prosecuted if he marries his victim. The Arabic version refers to the one who "kidnaps or deceives" a minor.
Whatever the wording, the article is cited in justifying the minor's marriage.
An online petition calling for a change to the law has garnered about 3,500 signatures and a protest was held Thursday in front of the courthouse of the nearby town of Larache.
After at first remaining silent about the case, the Justice Ministry issued a statement Friday saying the judge acted correctly and followed the law in accordance with the wishes of both families and the victim.
"The victim had relations with the man who married her during which she lost her virginity with her consent," said the statement, which did not address concerns about the nature of consent between a 15 and a 25-year-old.

It might seem way too early, but considering the
returning starters and all the other factors before
Signing Day and spring ball, where does everyone
stand? Here's CFN's first look at all the teams for
2013. The First Look Ranking is based on how good
the teams appear to be at the moment.
One of Conference USA's star programs should make an immediate impact in the Big East. George O'Leary's club has the athletes and the depth to battle with everyone on the college schedule, but offense needs to find a little more punch.
The passing game was among the most efficient in the old league, and Blake Bortles should be able to bomb away with Rannell Hall and J.J. Worton two good young targets to throw to. The ground game has been the key to O'Leary's teams, and while Latavius Murray is gone, Dontravius Floyd and pounding Storm Johnson should take over and be fine. The line needs to replace tackle Phil Smith and center Jordan Ray after doing a nice job of pounding away last year.
The pass defense led the Conference USA and the D topped the conference in points allowed. There wasn't too much of a pass rush, and losing top sacker Troy Davis won't help. The defensive tackles will be a strength with Thomas Niles and E.J. Dunston two promising tough guys in the interior. Outside linebacker is a concern, but Terrance Plummer is a good one to work around in the middle.
52. San Diego State (9-4)
Welcome to a potentially dangerous sleeper on a national scale. The Aztecs came up with a shocking 9-4 rebound year, and now they're loaded with 20 starters back including ten on defense, depending on the alignment. Unfortunately, the one big loss is corner Leon McFadden, but the D that led the Mountain West in rushing gets everyone else back including linebacker Jake Fely and safety Nat Berhe. The offense is also ready to roll with nine starters returning led by quarterback Adam Dingwell and running back Adam Muema, who pounded out 112 yards per game. Gavin Escobar is one of the nation's top returning tight ends, and wide receiver Colin Lockett will be on a few All-America watch lists.
53. Minnesota (6-7)
Jerry Kill has been slowly building the Gophers back up to respectability, and getting off to a 4-0 start and going bowling was a huge move forward. But can they start to compete with the bigger boys? The two Big Ten wins came against Purdue and Illinois, getting blown out by Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Depending on the formation, ten starters are back losing quarterback/receiver MarQueis Gray and fullback John Rabe, but everyone else of note returns. The quarterback situation will be a fight between Phillip Nelson and Max Shortell, and running back Donnell Kirkwood needs to build off a good year as the main man for the ground game. Finding more explosiveness in the passing game is a must from an experienced receiving corps. The line gets all five starters back and should be one of the team's biggest positives.
The defense finished 33rd in the nation and was 12th against the pass has to replace corners Michael Carter and Troy Stoudermire, and it'll be tough to replace end D.L. Wilhite and linebackers Mike Rallis and Keanon Cooper, but the line gets back three starts including big tackles Ra'Shede Hageman and Cameron Botticelli, who should be among the Big Ten's better interior pass rushers.
54. Indiana (4-8)
Is Kevin Wilson going to be able to take the program to another level? The 4-8 record might not have been a positive, but the Hoosiers went into mid-November with a chance to win the Leaders. The three game slide to close things out was ugly, but it was still a step forward.
Center Will Matte is gone from the offense – that's it. The Hoosier offense led the Big Ten in passing and ran relatively well when it wasn't trying to keep up in shootouts, and now ten starters are back helped but the improvement of a young line that should be grown up and more consistent. Cameron Coffman is a nice quarterback and Stephen Houston is a talented back who could do far more. The upside is there.
The defense is another story, even with nine starters returning. The D finished last in the Big Ten in total defense and scoring defense, having the biggest problem against the run. That's an issue considering tackles Larry Black and Adam Replogle, the team's two top pass rushers, are the two losses. The entire back seven is back led by leading tackler, safety Greg Heban. Linebacker David Cooper has the potential to be a major factor.
55. Virginia (4-8)
It was forgotten about as the season went on, but this was among the nation's most disappointing teams, especially after beating Penn State for a 2-0 start. The offense didn't work, the defense fizzled in key spots, and the special teams were lousy. However, head coach Mike London might not have that might work to do.
Quarterback Michael Rocco started out the season looking like the main man for a solid offense, but he transferred to Richmond to open the door for former Alabama transfer Phillip Sims to try to fulfill the immense promise and potential he showed as one of the nation's top prospects. Tackle Oday Aboushi is gone, but four starters are back up front led by tackle Morgan Moses. Running back Kevin Parks finished as the team's leading rusher, taking the sting off of the loss of top pass catcher Perry Jones. Darius Jennings, Tim Smith, Dominique Terrell and E.J. Scott are small, speedy receivers who should make Sims look great.
The defense that finished fourth in the ACC has to make more big plays. Tackling machine linebacker Steve Greer is gone from the middle, as is La'Roy Reynolds, who led the team in tackles for loss. However, all four starters from a secondary full of underclassmen return to a pass defense that only allowed 208 yards per game. There should be more of a rotation up front with Chris Brathwaite ready to do more in the interior next to Brent Urban.
56. Wake Forest (5-7)
The Demon Deacons had an inconsistent first nine games, but all they had to do was win one game in the final three to go bowling, and they couldn't. With 17 starters back, the team needs to at least get a 13th game, but can Jim Grobe get the offense going?
Last in the ACC and 114th in the nation in scoring, and 117th in total offense, getting points was like pulling teeth. Wake scored more than 16 points just twice over the final eight games, and while the defense didn't always help the cause, the problems were on the O. Four starters are back up front, only losing center Garrick Williams, and all the skill players of note are back thanks to the return of receiver Michael Capanaro, quarterback Tanner Price and running back Josh Harris.
The defense was awful against the pass and struggled against the run, but three starters return to the secondary and leading tackler Mike Olson is back at middle linebacker. Top pass rushers Zach Thompson and Justin Jackson are also back on the front seven, but tackle Hasan Hazime and end Joey Ehrmann are done.
57. Syracuse (8-5)
New head coach, new league. With Doug Marrone off to Buffalo, Scott Schafer gets the job of leading the Orange into the ACC after the team closed out 2012 winning six of the final seven games including a stomping of West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl. There aren't that many huge changes to be made, but the losses are big.
Step One, besides working on the miserable special teams, will be replacing quarterback Ryan Nassib, who bombed away for the nation's 17th-ranked offense. Also gone is backup Charley Loeb, making it a fight this offseason for the starting job. Making matters worse is the loss of top targets Alec Lemon and Marcus Sales. So what will Schafer do? Hand the ball off time and again to bowl stars Jerome Smith and Prince-Tyson Gulley to run behind a line with three starters back. However, one of the losses is left tackle Justin Pugh, who'll start on some NFL team's line next year.
The defense doesn't have as many problems, but top pass rusher Brandon Sharpe is done along with leading tacklers Shamarko Thomas and Siriki Diabate. Dyshawn Davis and Cameron Lynch are playmaking linebackers who should do more, and end Markus Price-Brewster and linebacker Marquis Spruill are active.
58. Purdue (6-7)
New head coach Darrell Hazell has to try to get more out of the team against the better squads on the slate, and that will start with a more powerful offense and a defense that doesn't get pushed around so often. Both will take time and a few decent recruiting classes. Fortunately, he has a slew of veterans returning to rely on right away.
The quarterback situation that's been so muddled over the last few seasons might be a bit more settled with Robert Marve and Caleb TerBush gone – it should be Rob Henry's gig now. Akeem Hunt has to show he can handle the full-time workload at running back, but it's the passing game that should shine brightest with O.J. Ross and Gary Bush returning to make up for the loss of Antavian Edison. Three starters return to the offensive front that did a decent job.
The defense has to do the near-impossible and replace Kawann Short on the defensive interior, but Bruce Gaston is a rising star at tackle. More of a pass rush is needed on the outside from Ryan Russell and Ryan Isaac. Sean Robinson is a big-hitter at linebacker, and all three starters are back in the secondary. There's depth and a few nice options for several jobs, but overall, the D needs more playmakers.
59. California (3-9)
Can Sonny Dykes crank up an offense that finished tenth in the Pac-12 and struggled so much throwing the ball? Considering his Louisiana Tech Bulldogs did absolutely nothing defensively in 2012, will he be able to help a defense that was near the bottom in the conference in almost every category? There's a lot of work to do.
With seven starters back on defense, the secondary has to be far better despite the loss of leading tackler Josh Hill and decent corner Mack Anthony. The linebacking corps is all back full with four starters returning to the 3-4 alignment that will be played around with. Linebacker Nick Forbes and corner Steve Williams can hit, but they need the line to do far more against the run. The pass rush is fine, but nose tackle Aaron Tipoti and 4-3 tackle Kendrick Payne is done.
The offense has to get a big start out of quarterback Allan Bridgford, and he needs time to work behind a porous offensive line that had major problems last year and now has to replace center Brian Schwenke and tackle Tyler Rigsbee. Young receivers Chris Harper, Darius Powe, Maurice Harris and Bryce Treggs will be major factors over the next few years, but the coaching staff has to find a new back to take over for Isi Sofele and C.J. Anderson.
60. Utah (5-7)
After a disastrous season with no offense, weak special teams and not enough strong defensive performances in key games, the Utes have some work to do. The big problem is the rest of the division and the conference; both are getting better while Utah is trying to rebuild the league's worst passing game and a defense that allowed 34 points or more in each of the last three games.
Losing running back John White takes away the team's top weapon and puts more pressure on quarterback Travis Wilson, who struggled to find his way through a true freshman season. However, the 6-6, 230-pound bomber has the tools, and he has a few interesting receivers in Kenneth Scott and Drew Anderson to throw to. The line that had problems has to replace three starters and needs big young tackle Jeremiah Poutasi to become a rock.
There's no replacing Star Lotulelei off the defensive front, and losing end Joe Kruger early to the NFL and Dave Kruger to graduation will hurt. The entire linebacking corps returns and needs to be stronger so the secondary doesn't have to bear so much of the workload – it won't be a positive if safety Brian Blechen is leading the team in tackles again. Both corners Ryan Lace and Reggie Topps are gone from a secondary that wasn't that bad.

The University of New Mexico released their schedule for the 2014-2015 season. New Mexico's non-conference schedule includes the ESPN Puerto Rico Tip-Off and home games against Idaho State, Cal State Fullerton, USC, New Mexico State, UL Monroe and Central Arkansas. Opposite those games in The Pit are trips to Valparaiso, New Mexico State and Grand Canyon.
"The ESPN tournament in Puerto Rico has an outstanding field that includes UConn, Dayton, West Virginia, Texas A&M and many other good programs," head coach Craig Neal said in a released statement. "It will help prepare us for our conference schedule, which will be challenging as always. Every game is tough in the Mountain West."
Conference play starts on New Year's Eve this season as New Mexico will host Fresno State in The Pit. It's the first of the 18 MW games for UNM, which will play Nevada and San Jose State only once.
In addition to the conference schedule, the Mountain West also released its television broadcast schedule as well. New Mexico had 14 of its 18 MW games picked up for national broadcast in the conference's first package, which includes seven on the ESPN family of networks and seven on CBS Sports. CBS Sports, ROOT SPORTS and the Mountain West Network will announce additional broadcasts in the future.
Tip-off times and additional television broadcast information will also be announced later this summer.

Erhaab swept past King's Theatre and Colonel Collins well inside the final furlong to take the English Derby. He became the third consecutive winner of that race to be bought by the Japanese in the year of his victory.
The French-trained—but Japanese-owned and ridden—Ski Paradise was victorious in the newly opened Keio Hai Spring Cup at Tokyo Racecourse on April 23. She beat Zieten, from Dubayy, Sayyedati, from England, and another French horse, Dolphin Street. Horses that had raced outside Japan were allowed to compete in five events in 1994, up from three the previous year and two before that.
Zieten's fine performance in Tokyo was one of the first examples of the potential of Godolphin Racing, a new organization founded by Sheikh Muhammad al-Maktoum with the intention of wintering horses in Dubayy in order to gain an advantage when they returned to competition in Europe. Balanchine, bought from Robert Sangster after winning her two races in 1993, provided the greatest successes for Godolphin. Beaten by a head by the Irish-trained Las Meninas in the English One Thousand Guineas just days after her return from Dubayy, she went on to win the English Oaks and the Irish Derby but suffered an attack of colic a few weeks later (in mid-July) and was lucky to survive.
Her Irish Derby performance established Balanchine as the best in Europe. She beat King's Theatre and Colonel Collins, which finished second and third again, far more easily than Erhaab had in the English Derby. Four weeks later King's Theatre beat the best older horses, led by White Muzzle, Wagon Master, and Apple Tree, in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes.
No colt could match Balanchine in midsummer, but one may have appeared in the autumn. He was Carnegie, the winner of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and a son of Sadler's Wells and the 1980 Arc heroine, Detroit. He beat the 1993 Prix du Jockey-Club winner, Hernando, by a neck, with Apple Tree and Ezzoud a close third and fourth.
Carnegie, which was the first horse to imitate his dam by winning the Arc, belonged to Sheikh Muhammad. His owner's brother, Sheikh Hamdan al-Maktoum, won the English Derby with Erhaab and Australia's greatest race, the Melbourne Cup, with the British-bred Jeune, a horse that he had bought in England in late 1993. Twelve days before the Cup, Jeune had finished 13th of 14 behind the New Zealand-trained Solvit in the Cox Plate, the Southern Hemisphere's richest weight-for-age event. Vintage Crop, which had gained a second Irish St. Leger success at home in September, was favoured to repeat his 1993 triumph in the Melbourne Cup but finished seventh.
Coolmore Stud, the home of Europe's leading stallion, Sadler's Wells, successfully exploited many of its sires on double duty in Ireland and Australia. One of them, Last Tycoon, was the leading sire overall in the 1993-94 season in Australia, and another, Danehill, topped the sires of two-year-olds there. Paris Lane, conqueror of Jeune in the Mackinnon Stakes and second to him in the Melbourne Cup, was by a third Coolmore sire, the late Persian Heights.
One horse that covered mares in England and Australia in 1993 was Damister, which finished third in the English and Irish Derbys of 1985. Damister had sired many winners but none of great merit until the emergence of Celtic Swing. This colt was unbeaten in three races, the last a 12-length success in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy.
The Fellow, whose previous attempts had resulted in two defeats by a head and then a fourth place, finally triumphed in a Cheltenham Gold Cup. The French-trained nine-year-old defeated the 1993 winner, Jodami, by 1 1/2 lengths. However, he could not follow up in the Grand National, falling at the 24th of the 30 fences. The race, which was won by Miinnehoma, was run on muddy ground, and only 6 of the 36 runners completed the course. Ucello II won the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris. Organizers were relieved when the National went off without a hitch after a disastrous double false start had forced them to void the race results in 1993.

The Board of Commissioners for Huron County have resolved to not take any more action regarding wind energy projects until Michigan clarifies the legislation and taxation of wind turbine. (See background in previous blog posts: Depreciation Methodology for Wind Turbines Challenged and Property Tax Change on Wind Turbines). Therefore, it has decided not to act on a request to release 26 acres in Windsor Township from restricted farmland preservation use to allow the building of a planned substation for the new Thumb Loop transmission line. Meanwhile, counties that have wind energy projects developed or under development (including Huron, Sanilac, Tuscola and Gratiot Counties) have formed the Michigan Renewable Energy Coalition. The MREC has been lobbying the State Tax Commission to formulate a fair process to determine accurate used turbine values and depreciation schedules. A "multiplier committee" of MREC and local equalization officials and utility representatives has been formed at the State Tax Commission to address the depreciation issue.

This much-loved century home is in the heart of Ramsay situated on a tree-lined street and only minutes from some of Calgary's most popular destinations. Walking distance to the Calgary Zoo, a short bike ride to downtown along the River Pathway, 10 minutes to LRT and the bus stop is just around the corner. Also, you couldn't get much closer to the Stampede Grounds or if you are wanting to catch a game at the Saddledome. This house is also located within the Car2Go network area (and you can take the Car2Go to the airport!).
Back deck with charcoal BBQ and table for four, and front porch for watching the people stroll by. Street parking is available for up to two cars. Laundry facilities on premises. Up to two bikes can be stored inside with other sporting equipment.
This house sleeps four comfortably.
Linens and kitchen supplies included. Cleaning provided in between guests and additional cleaning services can be arranged upon request for an additional fee.
The house itself has had some renovations done over the past few years and has been decorated in bright cheerful colours making this a comfortable place to hang your hat while visiting the Gateway to the West.
Ramsay - A mixed community featuring local artists and musicians as well as some of Calgary's more expensive residences atop the ridge overlooking the city.
I am the CEO of start-up software company - Dexterity Ventures Inc. and a charitable giving platform called Place2Give.com. I grew up in Calgary, moved away for college and professional development for several years, before returning in 2002. I am actively involved in Calgary's social enterprise and volunteer communities and have dedicated my career to social change and community building.
When I am not traveling for work, I enjoy taking time off for global adventures and road trips. Because I have had such positive experiences with other VRBO rentals, I thought I would offer my place up this year as I will be gone throughout the fall and winter.
Gena purchased this bungalow in 2005
I bought this property for the lifestyle it has afforded me. Great restaurants, good music venues, close to downtown and because I ride my bike as a primary form of transportation in the summer, this location is ideal. Oh - and my favorite coffee shop, Caffe Rosso, is just four blocks away! If you are looking for a good latte and friendly service this is the place to go.
This is a World War I home. Original hardwood floors and plaster walls give it that unique 'old-school' feel, but it is the arts and crafts style that is unique. From the arched ceiling in the living room, to the over-stuffed chair by the window this is a cozy little corner of downtown Calgary.
The basement has a second living-room with comfy sofa and flat screen TV for those winter nights that you just want to curl up.
Or perhaps you want to host an apres-ski the dining room boasts a table that seats eight.
I love this house! It has a great vibe, it's cozy and clean! I love the privacy, but still in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood. There are lot's of great cafes, shops, pubs and parks all within walking distance. As a business professional person with meetings that took place all over the city it was super easy to access downtown and the main thoroughfares! If you are looking for the ideal location in Calgary either as a single person or a family this house is a great pick! Looking forward to staying here again on another visit to Calgary!
We stayed at the house temporarily in our move to Calgary. What we liked most about the house was that it was in a convenient central location, the kitchen was so well stocked that we hardly had to buy anything, the home was comfortably furnished, clean and we enjoyed the neighborhood and being able to walk to 9th Avenue for dinner; lots of great restaurants. Gena was so helpful to answer questions that we had, being new to Calgary. I think you would enjoy your stay at this rental!!!
Great location! Walk to neighborhood shops, restaurants, and attractions. Quick drive to downtown (or under 30 minute walk) and quick drive to airport. Excellent alternative to a hotel! Comfortable and cozy home with all the amenities, including a parking pass and a kitchen stocked with the basics to prepare your own meals. Owner very accommodating and overall great value.
My family, including a small child, felt right at home in this comfy, easily accessible cottage just over the Bow River from downtown Calgary and bordering the funky Inglewood neighbourhood. Great 'home away from home' and Gena is a very hospitable host!
We stayed in this wonderful place for a week while visiting Calgary. It was a great location very central to everything minutes to downtown, shopping and the Zoo/Science Centre. The house itself was perfect with all the amenities and more. As we are a young family it was excellent that there was access to a full washer and dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. With a hotel room we would have been looking at each other constantly but here, there was plenty of space for us to spread out. The owner was great to deal with and the transaction was a breeze. We would recommend this place highly for anyone.
This is a spacious, quiet, charming house with a cute garden, in an awesome neighbourhood!

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter

It had been nearly a week for Sean Kelley.
A week since driving the District 13 fire truck to a blaze.
A week since helping around the fire house, making sure things are in place to quickly get out for an emergency.
A week since being a part of someone's worst day in the best possible way.
And he misses it.
Fighting fires, you see, is Kelley's second job. A hobby, if you will, that satiates his appetite to do more for the community than to just be on the radio and watch Pelicans basketball for a living like his first job requires.
'I always wanted to be able to use sports, or my job in sports, to affect something else,' Kelley said. 'So I've always tried to do something along the way on the side. There's always been that wanting, and it's not necessarily giving back, but to do something to make somebody's life better.'
A Romantic Connection
Truth is, Kelley took a circuitous route to get where he is today, a key member of the Saints and Pelicans digital and radio staffs as both the voice of the basketball team and host of the Black and Blue Report online.
Growing up in St. Louis, he followed the Cardinals, listening to Jack Buck. He was drawn to how those announcing the games were 'essentially a part of people's lives.'
'Whether it be listening to a college football game on a Saturday or a summer night listening to a baseball game, those were people that were brought into your life or your car or your home and I thought that was a very romantic connection,' Kelley said.
Though he wasn't the kid in the upper deck of Busch Stadium calling the action on the field, he was the one staying up late on summer nights listening to Cards games in his room.
'I did the whole transistor radio under your pillow listening to games when the Cardinals were out West,' Kelley recalls.
Yet, he tried to tamp down his first love, heading to Northeast Missouri State where he planned on majoring in finance.
'That lasted until Christmas,' he said. 'No. 1 I wouldn't have been any good at it and No. 2, I just was kidding myself as to not go after what I really wanted to do.'
The Long Road
So, he worked at a Top 40 radio station while at N.E. Missouri State, interrupting the music once an hour to do a weather forecast.
Kelley transferred to Southern Illinois University where his radio career began in earnest, finagling his way into a sports gig at a rock station in Carbondale, Ill.
'All that was was a way to get credentials,' he remembered. 'Got credentials for college games and high school games. I did that at night and went to school during the days.'
That, in turn, led to a job at a news-talk station in Columbia, Mo., where he was asked to do sports for the station part time. But there was one catch to the move.
'Thankfully my very loving wife was working radio sales at the time,' Kelley said. 'We went almost as a package deal. She was willing to put up with me making $12,000 a year to see where it would go.'
Where it went was much more than part time. He called Missouri baseball games. He called play-by-play for high school football games. He worked his way up to sports director and began doing pregame and postgame duties for Missouri football.
And then the Tulane job opened up.
'I felt like if I could get in the club, then I could advance,' Kelley said. 'You can't really get the big job unless you get in this Division I club. The problem was the job didn't pay a whole lot. The first year down here my wife worked a full-time job and on my days off, I washed golf carts at Beau Chene Country Club. When I wasn't doing Tulane, I was at the cart barn at the golf course.'
Eventually, the Hornets found Kelley, bringing him on Tulane off nights to host the studio show before enrolling him as the full-time radio voice in 2005.
But even then Kelley felt the pull to do more, to be someone who helped out the community he lived in.
'He brought (fire fighting) up before and I initially panicked because we had two small children and I didn't want him to give up chasing his dream as a broadcaster,' Kim Kelley said.
Though the bug was planted, Kelley couldn't move on it just yet. It would take another 12 or 13 years before he could fulfill that dream.
Catching The Bug Again
Fifteen months ago, Kelley was helping coach at American Legion baseball game in Madisonville, La., when he noticed two fire engines nearby.
'I was like, man, I wonder if they'd be willing to give me information on being a volunteer,' Kelley said.

They were and they did, telling him about a volunteer meeting on the first Tuesday of every month.
But unlike the others interested in volunteering, Kelley's schedule was hectic. As the radio play-by-play voice of the Pelicans, his job includes copious amounts of travel at odd intervals during the year. He basically only had the offseason to learn and train to be a firefighter.
His tough schedule hardly made those in the fire department blink twice.
'At any given scene there are 400 things that have to be done and we need bodies,' Kelley recalled being told. 'I said this is perfect. I can get into this and find my place in the fire service.'
His place has quickly become fully involved thanks to the internet. LSU offers a course that allows entry into other parts of the firefighting profession. And he could study for the Firefighter 1 test while flying from city to city with the then-Hornets.
He also relied on the professional firefighters while spending time at the firehouse when he wasn't traveling with the NBA team.
'Every time I'd go to work at the fire department as a volunteer, the paid guys, the career guys, were always great about training. They never ever were annoyed at any question,' Kelley said. '... That was one of the things that kept sucking me in. There was no, 'Well, you're just a volunteer.' Or no, 'Look, I've been working all day and I don't want to teach you or train.'
'They kept teaching almost as if they were as excited as I was at going through the process.'
Kelley took his test and his chief, Lonnie Johnson, said he received a 100.
Impressing Those Around Him
The longer Kelley fights fires, the more he understands just how impressive those who do it for a living are at it.
But talk to those who know Kelley and you realize quickly that his impact is just as impressive.
'I think just by nature, the closer you are to a situation the less you kind of look at it with awe,' Kim Kelley said. 'But stepping back, he's a really cool guy for wanting to do some of the things he does. Whether it be for broadcasting or with firefighting, he has always had a heart that wants what he's doing, whether it be in a booth or at a fire scene, he wants it to matter.'
And he focuses on everything at once, missing nothing that he has dedicated himself to. In addition to his radio job, he also has taken on a larger presence with the Saints, being a part of the preseason TV crew as a sideline reporter in addition to hosting the Black and Blue Report, a new online radio show.
'He kept his schedule and I didn't even know he was a firefighter until he walked into my office one day,' said Greg Bensel, Vice President of Communications for the Saints and Pelicans, adding about the firefighting, 'It doesn't affect us at all. It's a fantastic thing. Mr. (Tom) Benson, when he heard about it, he was pretty thrilled to find out there's a guy who is a public servant, who is a first responder. It's pretty neat. It's definitely unique.'
Said Johnson, the fire chief, 'For someone in his profession to come and say, 'Hey, I want to volunteer and give back to the community,' that is fantastic.'
Not About Being Unique
But this isn't a story about being unique. Not for Kelley, who spent much of the past year keeping his second job to himself.
|The helmet and jacket Sean Kelley wears when he's working with the District 13 fire department on the Northshore. (Photo courtesy Sean Kelley)
He was hesitant, in fact, to have anything written about it. He didn't want to take away from those he worked with, those who fight fires on a daily basis and aren't in the spotlight.
To him, they're the heroes. They're the ones working two jobs just to make ends meet because firefighters aren't paid so well. They're the ones 'showing up on somebody's worst day' on a consistent basis to help out.
'The men and women who do this as their full-time career, the amount of training and sacrifice that goes into what they do, I don't think most folks know what it entails,' Kelley said.
They can't do it alone, however, especially in places like District 13, which covers parts of the Northshore. That district isn't alone. Other than the big departments, like New Orleans or Jefferson Parish or Mandeville and Slidell, areas are covered by small companies filled with volunteers.
And that's where Kelley said he hopes his story will help out.
'You don't have to spend a whole year training and achieving Firefighter 1,' Kelley said. 'You can become a volunteer at a minimal level and there are things you can do that are a huge help without going all in.'
He later added, 'When you work in a small department like District 13, sometimes you're a one-man band. There's three stations in the district and two of the three stations are manned by one full-time firefighter at all times. When you're that guy at that station, you drive the engine, you're first on the scene, you're maintaining the station and all the gear.'
Make no mistake, though. Kelley is fully aware of just how unique his situation is.
'There is something cool about you're interviewing NFL players and coaches or you're getting off of a private chartered jet after an NBA road trip and the next day you've got a helmet and bunker gear on and you're driving a fire engine,' he said. 'That's pretty crazy if you stand back and think about it for a second. But that's kind of just who I am. That would seem odd to somebody else. That seems perfectly normal to me. So, I guess that makes me a little nuts. I kind of like that.
'I kind of like that.'

|Reviewed By veronica, 21 Jan 2015
this does really pack down very small and would be easy to take along in case of need. However, the size S-M I couldn't get over my head - probably suitable for a child. The L-XL was still not easy to get on but it was possible. The sides of the opening though were too close to my eyes and got in the way of blinking! Perhaps additional sizes would have been helpful.

VIEWS: 74 PAGES: 3 CATEGORY: Religion and Spirituality POSTED ON: 10/2/2010 Public Domain
The Orthodox patristic teaching concerning the coming antichrist.
The Characteristics of People before the End of the World. A Prophecy (From the works of Bishop Theophan the Recluse) The particular judgment of the departed will occur immediately after their death, but the general (last) judgment will take place at the second coming of Christ; to determine exactly when this time will come is impossible, for this is hidden not only from people, but even from the angels. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only (Matthew 24:36), said our Divine Teacher to His disciples, when they asked Him about this matter. It is hidden from us too, in order that we be ready at any moment, with a clear conscience to appear before the judgment seat of the impartial Judge, so that we do not give ourselves to carelessness about our salvation, but, like the wise virgins, will be ready to meet the Heavenly Bridegroom worthily and to enter the bridal chamber with Him. This is why Jesus Christ often encouraged His disciples to keep vigil, so that the coming of the Son of man would not catch them unawares: Watch therefore: for ye know not in what hour your Lord doth come, be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:42,44); Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when (second coming) the time is…And what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch (Mark 13:33,37). If for our own good, through God's providence the day and hour of the second coming of Christ is hidden from us, then the same Lord, Who desireth that all men be saved, for the strengthening of the righteous and for the instruction of sinners, deigned to reveal signs to us, by which we can judge the time of His second coming. The first of these signs is the universal awareness of Christ's gospel. The message about Christ will be spread to all nations of the world; not one nation, or tribe, even in the farthest and unknown corners of the earth, will be left without the enlightenment of Christ's teaching. The last commandment of Jesus Christ will be fulfilled – Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), and Go ye therefore, and teach all nations (Matthew 28:19). Another sign of the approach of the second coming of Christ will be the great impoverishment of faith and love among people. The primordial enemy (the devil), sowing the weeds of falsehood and delusion amid the good seed of God's Word, before the end of the world will direct all his powers and means in order if possible to unconditionally tear away from the Kingdom of God all those who are called to it or have already entered it, and to subjugate them to his destructive dominion. Jesus Christ taught His disciples, Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore, if they will say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not (Matthew 24:23-26, compare with Mark 13:21-23). The result of this will be that many will be seduced (Matt. 24:23-26, compare Mark 13:6), and many will be deceived (Matthew 24:10). And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold (Matthw 24:12), and there shall follow the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (Matthew 24:15); When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8). In the First Epistle to Timothy, the Apostle Paul writes: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1). In his Second Epistle to Timothy, he offers a gloomy portrait of mankind's religious and moral condition: In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof (II Tim. 3:1-5). The holy Apostle Jude witnesses to the agreement of all the apostles on this point: Remember the words which were spoken of before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How they told you there should be mockers in the last days, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit (Jude 17-19). The Lord Himself foretold that at the end of the world Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold (Matthew 24:11,12), so that when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8). Such a decline in faith and love among people will result first in the appearance of many false prophets and horrible internecine wars, and secondly, great and serious calamities in the physical world. The gospel will be known to all, but some will not believe it; a greater number will hold heretical opinions, following not the God-given teaching, but building up their own religion, of their own fabrication, though based on the words of Scripture. These self-fabricated faiths will be numerous. Their roots are found in the papacy, and then continued by Luther and Calvin. The latter two, by setting as a principle their own personal understanding of faith from Scripture only, gave a strong impetus toward the invention of various confessions. Although there are many now, there will be more. For every kingdom their own faith, and later for every province, and then for every city, and finally, perhaps, for every person, his own faith. Wherever people devise their religions for themselves, it cannot be otherwise. And all such faiths will continue to appropriate to themselves the name of Christian. There will be some who do maintain the true faith, as given by the holy Apostles and kept in the Orthodox Church; but even among these, many will be Orthodox in name only. They will not have in their hearts that order which is demanded by the faith, for they will be entranced by the present age. This is how broad the future field of apostasy will be! Even though the name Christian will be heard everywhere, and churches and rites will be widespread, all of this will only be outward; internally there will be complete apostasy. The Antichrist will be born under such conditions, and will be reared in that spirit of pretense which is opposed to reality. Giving himself wholly to Satan, he will openly apostasize, and armed with his captivating intrigues, he will draw into apostasy from Christ the Lord all those not holding the Christian faith in truth, forcing them to worship him as god. The elect of God will not be deceived, though he will attempt to entice them too. To save His elect the Lord will end those evil days. The Lord will appear and destroy Antichrist and all his works by His coming.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology are exploring how flies navigate their environment and their own movement so efficiently. The researchers built a flight simulator in which they simulated specific flight patterns by controlling optical "flux fields" presented to a test subject (a fly). The researchers are investigating what goes on in a fly's brain while they are in flight. Although a fly's brain is no bigger than a pinhead, they are able to negotiate obstacles in rapid flight, have split-second reactions (to a hand trying to swat them, for example), and navigate their way to a tasty meal. Results of the research could aid in developing robots that can independently apprehend and learn from their surroundings. To learn more, see the EurekAlert! news story Robotics insights through flies' eyes. (Date of Image: 2009) Credit: Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology/Borst & Schorner

SAWYER: I want just a few concrete details of the meetings which, again, are absorbing in their detail. But we now know what the Biden plan was. We now know what the vice president was doing.
You have to summarize it for me, but I gather it is maybe 20,000 troops with a concentration on counterterrorism, not counterinsurgency -- Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan, and maybe 20,000 troops, but not more, because that way lies mission creep and that way lies Vietnam?
WOODWARD: Precisely. And right at -- there's such a dramatic moment before the president issues these secret orders to everyone in the administration about what his decision is. And Biden -- this is Thanksgiving -- he's off in Nantucket, and he says, "I want to come back and talk to you, Mr. President." And Obama says, "No, no. Don't."
And Biden shows up anyway.
SAWYER: A surprise?
WOODWARD: A surprise visit in the portico there at the White House Sunday.
SAWYER: Waiting, lying in and wait for him.
WOODWARD: Waiting and he knows that the president might get angry. In this case, the president starts kind of smiling and laughing, because that's Biden being Biden. Of course, you tell him not to come and he comes.
And Biden says, "If you don't stick to these specific orders, we're locked into Vietnam." And the president says, "I am not going to sign on to failure. I am not going to be like those other presidents and stick with it because of my ego, my politics, my political security."
Other words, Barack Obama says, I'm not going to be Lyndon Johnson. We have to have a plan. We're getting out. We're ending this war.
SAWYER: The portrait you paint of the way they arrive at the 2011 and the exit plan reminds me of the president -- and I'm just imagining this, but lying in wait until someone says something. And Secretary Gates advances an idea, and the president locks it in, and that's 2011. And the withdrawal begins?
WOODWARD: Well, in the course of these meetings, Secretary Gates says, look, in 18 to 24 months we need to start thinning out our forces. Obama lands on that and says, OK. That means 18 months from -- this is last December -- and so we're going to begin thinning out withdrawing July 2011.
Also, Gates writes this memo saying, well, we could do less than 40,000, maybe 30, maybe 35,000, but we'll get more later. Obama just lands on that with, you know, OK, that's what we're using.
And then before Thanksgiving he calls Gates in and he says, I've decided it's 30,000. And Gates is kind of, now, wait a minute. I've got these requests for specialists, intelligence specialists, medical evacuation teams and so forth, that might be another 4,500. And Obama says, "Bob, that's it. Thirty thousand."
And he's like an auctioneer -- I have closed the bidding. I've decided.
SAWYER: Throughout, you feel this impulse to -- you feel this constant erosion of his position. He says 30,000, it's slightly adjusted. It's as if he has to watch out constantly or his 2011 date is going to be slightly eroded, his 30,000 is going to be slightly eroded.
What is that about? Is he under constant -- is the tension going on eternally between a military pushing for more and a president digging him?
WOODWARD: I think there's a natural disconnect, but I think in this case it's not been settled. He's not --- He's issued these orders, he said we're going to do it this way. Very specific.

GOP campaign for Iowa caucus enters final week
DES MOINES, Iowa An Iowa caucus campaign that has cycled through several Republican presidential front-runners entered its final week Monday, as unpredictable as the day conservatives began competing to emerge as Mitt Romney's chief rival.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, released a new television commercial for the state in which he cited a "moral imperative for America to stop spending more money than we take in. It's killing jobs," he said.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry countered with an advertisement that said four of his rivals combined - none of them Romney - have served 63 years in Congress, "leaving us with debt, earmarks and bailouts."
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who has invested more time in Iowa than any other contender, countered that "most Americans now believe that a little bit of experience going into a job like president is probably a good thing."
Santorum was the only presidential candidate in the state during the day.
That changes Tuesday, with bus tours planned by Perry, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, all eager to energize their existing supporters and attract new ones.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul arrives Wednesday. Recent polls suggest he is peaking as caucus day approaches, a rise that has him tied with Romney or even ahead, and drawing more scrutiny for his views.
The result figures to be a short but intense stretch of campaigning through small towns and even smaller towns, the sort of one-on-one politicking that has largely vanished in the electronic age.
Failing that, it will pay tribute to the types of cuisine that prosper in early 21st century America.
The Perry bus will belly up to Doughy Joey's in Waterloo and to the Fainting Goat in Waverly, an establishment whose website says "After 10 p.m., we are the type of place your mothers warned you about." Perry also will visit a vineyard and winery in Carroll.
Bachmann will make an early-winter stop at a Dairy Queen, as well as Pizza Ranch establishments in Harlan, Red Oak and Atlantic, three localities with a combined population of 17,282.
It's not all about the food, though.
Perry has a stop arranged at the Glenn Miller Museum in Clarinda, population 5,301, where the great bandleader was born.
The Texas governor also has a distinction that none of his rivals can boast, a town that shares his name. Thus, Perry will visit Perry.
There were signs of strategic shifts as candidates struggled to stand out in advance of the straw poll next week that inaugurates the round of primaries and caucuses that will pick a nominee to oppose President Barack Obama next fall.
Perry's new ad shows images of Gingrich, Paul, Santorum and Bachmann as it criticizes Congress and renews the governor's call for halving lawmakers' pay and time spent in Washington.
Despite the commercial's implication, Gingrich and Santorum were out of Congress when the multibillion-dollar financial bailouts of 2008 occurred. Paul and Bachmann voted against the legislation.
Still, the approach taken suggests the Texas governor is more concerned with outpacing Paul, Bachmann, Santorum and Gingrich on caucus night that he is in defeating Romney.

It becomes circular close to contact due to her ISR and biceps action. Now ask yourself, if the ideal stroke is totally linear, why should Serena change a good thing (linear motion) into a bad thing (motion in an arc), and so close to contact at that? Could it be because the act of pulling in the racquet increases RHS both forwards and upwards?!
I think Serena and other pros pull the bicep and use internal rotation of the shoulders to whip the head of the racket at contact. It seems a normal part of the modern type stroke. If you watch old era guys with wood rackets they don't really do this. Its like the serve really. In the serve you serve up so the hand will slow down as the racket whips through the serve. The conti grip and pronation on serve allows this. The fh now follows similar principles of the whip applied in a different way.
