The historical building, indigenous garden and the exquisite decor combine to create an extra special dining experience.
The menu is small but does not disappoint with starters like seared kudu carpaccio drizzled with mustard dressing and served with parmesan shavings and tomato concassé, and a twice baked goats cheese soufflé with a homemade tomato chutney. The tempura prawns with chilli mayonnaise and ginger and butternut soup with croutons are also not to be missed.
Try your palate at some game with the pan-fried blesbok rolled in mixed peppercorns with a juniper berry sauce. The panfried sole in a foamy butter sauce with lemon and parsley is a real melt-in-your-mouth option. A more traditional option is the vegetarian lasagne, rich in flavour and extremely decadent.
Good food, a great setting and reasonable prices can be found here.

I'm targeting Android with Titanium. How can I tell if a device has a touch screen or not?
This is the solution I came up with. It's really stupid, but it works. Wherever you create your application window, add this code:
Later on, check that touch is present with this:
If you are testing this on an emulator, the property might persist even when you change "devices". So add this line before anything else:
The easiest way is to test for touch event support. If they are supported, likely the device has a touch screen. If not, it probably doesn't or you can't use them anyway. One solution is:
But be careful as the browser may support touch events but the device might not (e.g. Chrome 20 supports lots of touch events in devices that don't have touch).
You may be able to get users to click a button and see if a touch event is dispatched or just a click.

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent is facing an intoxication manslaughter charge after a one-vehicle accident that killed linebacker Jerry Brown, a member of the team's practice squad.
Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said the accident happened about 2:20 a.m. Saturday in the Dallas suburb. Argumaniz says Brent was speeding when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once.
Argumaniz says Brown was found unresponsive at the scene and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The police spokesman says officers conducted a field sobriety test on Brent and arrested him. The charge was upgraded after Brown was pronounced dead.
The Cowboys didn't immediately respond to an email request for comment.

I am compelled to write to you today because of what I went through today trying to find a pair of boots. In a day and age where social interaction is at an all time low and customer service always seem to fall by the wayside, I wanted to let you know of the absolute gem you have working for you. I called your company to do research on some boots you offer and left a phone call wanting to be a lifetime customer. Michael was arguably the most considerate and helpful human being I have ever met. I do not say this lightly. I work for UPS and have an enormous interaction with the public and it has been years since I have been able to shop either online or in person and have as excellent an experience as I had shopping at your company today! Thank you to Michael, and thank you to your company for the wonderful experience."

I decided to start a Pathfinder RPG and invite a group of guys to play. It has been very fun creating a history, geography, and story line for the game. Ive been lurking around the guild's website for about a month and decided to jump in.
Using Saderan's Tutorial im attempting my map.
First i created the land mass but then i had problems (and it seems most people do) in placing the mountains. So i tried to go off how plate tectonics works (im a Registered Nurse, not a tectonicologist) but my attempt seemed appropriate.
Without further adieu, i present to you: Corth
Note: I did purchase a Genius Graphics Tablet F610 but it seems so much easier using my mouse. If anyone has some tips for me or a tutorial how to use g-tablets better, please share.
I have not finished cleaning up the continents and coast lines but this is where i am right now.
Technically, this starts to look very fine.
I have two major problems with the layout of your landmasses though.
First one: you fell into the "fill the space" trap - resulting in the basically straight northern and eastern coasts. Second, your coast is too consistently chaotic. The resulting continents appear to be frayed, which is very recognisable in the thumbnail and the scaled-to-screen size.
I think you got various very interesting shapes which might be fantastically suited for regional maps, but for a world map I don't think this will work out.

Sylveon (Japanese: ニンフィア Ninfia) is an unknown-type Pokémon and also an evolution of Eevee. More information about the Pokémon is currently unknown.
Sylveon is a Pokémon with cream coloured fur on most of its slender body and a reddish tail. There are two bow shaped and scarf-like objects around its body. It has four legs, each one a pink color - like the tail - and three toes on each. It also has two large blue eyes and long pink ears.
In the anime
Sylveon is set to appear in the short film PK25.
- This is the eighth Pokémon revealed that evolves from Eevee.
- It is the lightest Eeveelution so far.
- Like the other Eeveelutions the name might give us some clues for his element. It could be Bug (because of the move Silver Wind) or still Steel (because silver is a metal). Others point to a move used by Sylveon in a game trailer resembling Sky Attack or Brave Bird, hinting at it potentially being a Flying-type.

May 2, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- The federal government has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta and other religious institutions seeking to overturn a provision in the federal health care law that requires group health plans to provide free birth control.
The groups argued in a lawsuit filed in October that their religious beliefs prohibit them from providing the required coverage for certain services provided for in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
In a filing Monday, lawyers for the federal government argue the groups haven't shown any actual or imminent harm. They also argue that proposed amendments would accommodate religious groups' objections to covering contraceptive services.
The lawyers note that similar lawsuits have been filed around the country, and several courts have already dismissed them.

I come by way of one of your readers Marianne who lives in the city.
Great style knows no age, nor has nay bounds. My 84 year old mother is the most excellent example, beautiful inside and out! I am lucky to have her as the best role model. She has taught me that we are given the opportunity to be beautiful at every age!!!
I like this woman Debra who you feature. I agree!! It's SO rewarding to thrift and sew and pull it all together. It is a wonderful art and fun too.
I respect you for what you're up to and accomplishing here on your site. Thank you your respect and fascination of advanced style.

Debra always combines the perfect accoutrements for her outfits: cuffs, necklaces, rings, shoes, the works. And it's always perfect - both flattering for her body and just wild enough to push the limits a bit. Such style and personality. I love it!

What a treat to see Debra, and Stan's appearance makes the post a photo double-bonus! Debra is radiant, lovely as always. Her ability to assemble pieces amazes me. Each item tells its own story, but nothing "wears" her. While her style is timeless, it's always fresh and vibrant.
Godspeed, Ari. We'll look forward to your report from across the Great Pond.

Love the shape of her jacket and the chunky, multicoloured bracelets and necklaces. Her hair looks so cool-- I have short, bleached blonde hair (you don't see the grey) and I just bought some fuschia temporary haircolour I was going to experiment with, so I find her hair very inspiring!

Love this blog, it's so inspiring and wonderful to see 'oldies' who look fab. As someone in her late 40s I'm still trying to work out how to dress!! I don't care for fashion but would like to look stylish, my biggest fear is looking like 'mutton dressed up as lamb'. I think vintage is the way to go, beautiful old fabrics and things that have a history.
Have bookmarked this blog and will definately be coming back! Thanks for the great photos.

Undated-- Indiana, Duke and Michigan remained the top three teams in The Associated Press' college basketball poll. Look all the way to the bottom and you won't see Kentucky's name for the first time since John Calipari became coach of the Wildcats.
The Hoosiers (8-0) received 45 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel, two fewer than last week.
Duke (8-0) for the second straight week had the other first-place votes.
Kentucky (4-3) lost to Notre Dame and Baylor last week, the latter a loss that snapped the Wildcats' 55-game home winning streak, the longest in the nation. Kentucky had been ranked in the last 61 polls, 11 of those weeks at No. 1.
Syracuse was fourth followed by Louisville, Florida, Ohio State, Arizona, Kansas and Gonzaga.

Hi Kelley,
I just now discovered your podcast, I am on episode 30. I just wanted to let you know how much I love them and what a great inspiration you have been to me.
I love knitpicks, my fiance got me the Harmony interchangeable set for xmas and I started replacing my DPNS with the harmony ones, I just love them. I just ordered the book 2 at a time socks, I finished my first pair of wearable socks using DPNS, DPNS really don't bother me, but the appeal of finishing 2 socks on magic loop made me wanna give it a try. I am also seriously debating to start spinning and dying my own yarn. I am considering purchasing the drop spindle from Knitpicks, I am on a budget and just can't afford a spinning wheel at the moment.
You talk a lot about knitting in public and all the great feedback you receive. I am in my mid twenties and when I knit in public, which is during breaks at work and other little breaks I catch, I get teased about knitting. I receive great feedback on my finished items and even have sold a few, but when I knit them in public I just get made fun off. There isn't a big knitting community where I live, we have two LYS and thats my safe knit place and yes I am the youngest there.
Thanks for your podcasts and other great work you do with knitpicks,
Courtney K.
Courtney, it is pretty sad that muggles [non-knitters] just don't get it. All that matters is that you love the fiber arts. If more people would knit, spin, etc., there would be a lot less stress in the world.

The decisive factor in the location of early settlements was the presence of water. Settlers looked for swift running streams and rivers to turn waterwheels and, later, turbines to power mills around which many Maine towns sprang. By 1840, Maine had over 1,400 mills, though now only a handful survive; each had its own story.

If there's one thing Maine doesn't lack in winter, it's ice. In 1870, a warm winter in which ice didn't form on New York and Pennsylvania rivers had entrepreneurs looking to Maine for ice to keep city ice-boxes cool. Soon, 90% of ice harvested in Maine was shipped out of state to places as far away as South America, insulated by sawdust to stay frozen for months.

In November of 1899, Walter Wyman and his business partner Harvey Eaton bought a tiny utility company on Messalonskee Stream in Oakland for $4,500 that serviced about a hundred people from dark until 11 pm. Within ten years they'd expanded service to several surrounding towns, and displaying breath-taking ambition and engineering prowess they eventually became Maine's dominant power supplier, Central Maine Power. Nowhere in Maine is Wyman's influence more evident than in Moscow, Maine, site of the mammoth Wyman Dam.

In an age of mechanization and automation, it's easy to forget that everything used to be made by hand.

Old Fort Western in Augusta is older than America herself. Now a site that primarily offers schoolchildren a glimpse into America's pre-Revolutionary past, it once served as a transfer point for Benedict Arnold and his men in 1775, who used it to launch their ill-fated expedition to Quebec. Although the fort was never attacked, it still stands as a reminder of the great contrasts between the cultures that once dominated New England life.

Though the entire period lasted little more than 40 years, the City of Bangor enjoyed boom times during the last half of the 19th century the likes of which it has not seen since. As measured by per capita income, Bangor was at one time one of the world's richest cities. The source of the region's wealth, of course, was lumber -- a seemingly endless supply of it, situated along a deep river that facilitated its transport to world markets. At one time, virtually everything in the city was made of wood; that is, until a devastating fire in 1911 leveled 55 acres and the 267 buildings that stood on them, changing the city forever.

Over 700 had tried and perished, but on April 6, 1909, Admiral Robert Peary became the first person to reach the North Pole. Peary's wife Josephine accompanied him on many of his expeditions, and for her 50th birthday the admiral gave his wife an exquisite Maine tourmaline necklace, mined and cut by a Brunswick jeweler named John Towne and accented with gold panned from the Swift River as it flowed through Coos Canyon in Byron, Maine.

If there's one raw material of which Maine has a seemingly limitless supply (aside from pine trees) it's granite. So when it came time to build a durable bridge in the 1920's to connect Bailey Island and Orr's Island -- one whose foundations would not be subject to the ravages of the tides -- the span's builder, Llewelyn Edwards, employed a unique lattice-work design consisting of huge rectangular slabs of granite piled on top of one another in a criss-cross fashion. The so-called Cribstone Bridge is not only an example of simple yankee ingenuity, it has for nearly 80 years effortlessly withstood the worst storms nature can throw at it.

Born in Belgium in 1912, poet May Sarton had once been at the center of American and European literary and artistic life and counted among her friends people such as Elizabeth Bowen and Virginia Woolf. Sarton moved to York, Maine at the age of 61 and spent what many literary critics say were the most productive years of her life there, writing well into her 80's. After moving to Maine, she began to celebrate the state's landscape in her poetry and journals as she demonstrated that "a single woman, alone, can experience universal truths to share."

Rockland is not named for its rocky coastline but rather for its abundant limestone, which made wealthy men out of local lime merchants like Francis Cobb and William Farnsworth back in the 1800's. The proximity of these huge lime deposits to a deep harbor made it that much easier to ship the processed lime to places like Boston and New York, where building booms created near limitless demand for the lime used in the brick and mortar construction on which these cities were built. The lime industry was central to the midcoast economy, as it spurred demand in other related sectors such as rail transport, shipbuilding and barrell making.

Thirteen years before the arrival of the Mayflower, a hundred Englishmen landed at the mouth of the Kennebec River and founded what became known as the Popham colony. One of their specific missions was to investigate the potential for shipbuilding and they immediately set about building a vessel dubbed The Virginia, a 50-footer with a 30-ton capacity that could be rowed or sailed. Little did they know that a long tradition of Maine shipbuilding started with their labors. So seaworthy was this vessel that it carried the colony back to England after a harsh winter and later came back across the ocean filled with those who would establish the Jamestown colony in 1609.

Heather Corinna replies:
Could not cleaning myself a certain way after sex be causing my frequent urinary tract infections? What is the proper way to clean myself after sex (we use condoms and KY)?
I feel your pain. Big time.
I have had times in my life where UTIs were something I could count on more than the sun coming up every day, owing the IRS money while people who made 100 times more than I do in a year didn't, and never getting a seat on the subway during rush hour. I know too well how crazymaking getting them all the time can be, and because of both what I do in my work here and all too many doctors visits for UTIs of my own, I have an encyclopedia of UTI prevention forever etched in my brain I'm glad to share with you.
Your UTIs probably are not influenced by how you clean your body after sex, but there are a host of preventative measures you can take if you're not taking them already. Let's start by first filling you and everyone else in on the basics of UTIs.
UTI stands for urinary tract infection. Sometimes you'll hear UTIs referred to as cystitis or bladder infections. A UTI is an infection caused by bacteria (most commonly E. coli or staph saphrophyticus) that occurs and multiplies anywhere along the urinary tract: the urethra, the ureters, the bladder and/or the kidneys.
Some typical symptoms of UTIs are feeling like you have to urinate often, and then sometimes only being able to squeeze out a few drops; burning and/or strong odor with urination; blood in the urine; soreness or a feeling of fullness in your bladder, stomach, lower back or sides. When UTIs spread or get serious, people can also feel nauseated, start vomiting, or get a fever or chills. Should you ever get the more serious symptoms, you'll want to head to an urgent care or emergency room, rather than scheduling an appointment with a doctor or clinic.
UTIs can be anything from mild to severe. Very mild UTIs will often go away without treatment, but if UTI symptoms stick around for more than a day, or aren't mild, you likely need treatment. UTIs are usually treated with a round of antibiotics. If left untreated, UTIs can become kidney infections, which can become very serious, even life-threatening, so it's always important to do what you can to be seen by a healthcare provider when you know or suspect you have a UTI.
When being diagnosed for a UTI, you'll ideally want to get a full pelvic exam that also looks for other infections, since sometimes what we think is a UTI is actually something else. If you've been sexually active, STI screenings should be part of that exam, especially if you or any partners aren't up to date with them (and yes, even if you're using condoms -- they reduce the risks of STIs, but don't mean there have been no risks). Be sure to fill a healthcare provider in on your sexual history and ask for those STI screenings: some providers won't do them unless you ask. There are DIY at-home tests for UTIs, but if access to a healthcare provider isn't a big issue for you, I'd strongly suggest being diagnosed by a professional instead, especially if UTIs are chronic.
Some people will never get them, some will get them only occasionally, and some people will get them often or chronically. They're far more common in people with a vagina than in people with a penis, because for those with a vagina, the urethra is much shorter and is also closer to the anus, which holds bacteria. Diabetics and pregnant people also tend to get UTIs more often than other folks.
UTIs aren't technically STIs, though they can, and often do, develop due to sexual activity, because that's a common way for bacteria to be pushed into the urinary tract. All that rubbing of the vulva from some sexual activities that can feel so nice to you unfortunately is also something bacteria greatly enjoy: they get massaged into the urethra that way. Vaginal intercourse, specifically, is the sexual activity most often associated with UTIs, as is having frequent sexual activity (which is why they're sometimes called "honeymoon cystitis") or a new sexual partner. Some sexual positions are also more associated with UTIs, namely positions where vaginal entry occurs from behind.
So, you know what UTIs are, and know you'd move heaven and earth to try and avoid them. What can help keep those darn UTIs the hell away from your body?
Some or all of these things won't work for everyone, but some ways to prevent UTIs, which may also help you avoid other kinds of genital infections, are:
When it comes to washing, it's actually more important for partners to wash before sexual intercourse or other activities than after. I know that's not always convenient or doable, but the rationale is that our bodies tend to carry bacteria as a rule. So, when we rub them together with someone else's, we spread that bacteria around. If we and/or a partner clean up first, especially genitally, there's less bacteria to introduce to the urinary tract in the first place. You can certainly also try showering after sexual activity to see if that helps, but you're more likely to see results with cleaning up before, especially if BOTH you and your partner do so, not just you.
You mentioned you're using KY as a lubricant. Have you tried changing your lube? Sometimes, a given brand can irritate us, so making a switch just in case is smart. Some lubes are also more hypoallergenic than others, so I'd suggest seeing if you can't find one of those, like Pink, Emerita, Pjur or other higher-grade brands than KY. You can also ask your OB/GYN for suggestions on lubes that might be less irritating. Too, to avoid genital irritation from sex that can make UTIs more likely, be sure to use lube right from the start, rather than only adding it if and when you're feeling the burn. You might also try switching your brand or style of condom: if you use male condoms, try female condoms and see if that helps. If you use latex condoms, try a nitrile or polyurethane condom (female condoms are also non-latex).
I don't know how you get healthcare, but whoever you see about UTIs, if you're getting them often, make sure they know that. In other words, if you use different clinics or don't always see the same doctor, be sure to tell them that you have a history of UTIs, how often you have them, and how you have been treated for them in the past. Investigating and treating a lone or occasional UTI is a different story than investigating and treating chronic UTIs/interstitial cystitis, so you want to be sure you're getting the right care and treatment. With UTIs that keep coming back for more, your doctor should also be testing you after a treatment to be sure it did actually get rid of the UTI: sometimes they keep coming back because they never fully went away in the first place.
If you have been seeing the same provider for your UTIs who just keeps giving you the same treatment and the same tests, it might also be worth your while to see someone else for a second opinion. Not only can UTIs sometimes not be UTIs at all, but sometimes they can be caused by conditions like diabetes or urinary tract abnormalities that need management of their own. Lastly, sometimes a doctor will treat sexual partners for UTIs when another partner keeps getting them, especially if they keep happening in the same relationship despite a person taking many preventative measures to avoid them.
You might also want to look at a couple of the resources I double-checked when writing this piece, namely Our Bodies, Ourselves (The Boston Women's Health Book Collective), the Mayo Clinic's page on UTIs and some UTI info from the Office on Women's Health in the Department of Health and Human Services. Your healthcare provider is also someone you can talk to and who should take the time to sit down with you and give you the skinny on all of this: providing you information is just as much a part of their job as giving you medical treatment.

SS Gairsoppa recovery

The SS Gairsoppa recovery is a planned deep-sea operation in the North Atlantic Ocean, that is expected to retrieve the world's largest precious metals shipwreck salvage in history. On February 17, 1941 a German U-boat in 1941 sank this British merchant ship with its cargo of silver bullion with a present value of 130 - 150 million pounds sterling. Only recently in the summer of 2011 was the precise location of the shipwreck pinpointed, resting at a depth of about three miles.

The SS Gairsoppa in service in the Atlantic.
The firm of Odyssey Marine Exploration has been awarded a contract from the government of the United Kingdom to recover the sunken treasure, which operation is to start in Spring, 2012. The cargo is known to have been transporting seven million ounces of silver from India to Liverpool, England. Odyssey will be allowed to keep 80 percent of the recovery value, with the government of the United Kingdom taking the balance.
The Shipwreck discovery
It was only during the summer of 2011 that the exact shipwreck location was found. Using sonar and deep-sea robotics, the salvage firm Odyssey Marine Exploration pinpointed the sunken vessel and recorded still and video imagery using high intensity illumination of the otherwise dark sea-bed; the wreckage lies in 4700 meters of water in the abyssal zone of the North Atlantic approximately 450 kilometers southwest of the Irish coast. Initial location of the wreckage was effected using side-scan sonar with operations being directed from the surface vessel Odyssey Explorer. In addition to the 7,000,000 ounce silver hoard, some gold is expected to be among the sunken treasure. Both bullion and coinage are thought to be present in the lost hoard.
In a subsequent phase, an unmanned submarine was deployed to delineate and photograph the detailed features of the eerie abyssal zone wreckage. Fantastic shapes of twisted iron hull-work was covered with barnacles and evidenced other types of sea life. Specific elements of the vessel remains were clear enough to provide a positive identification.
In the recovery process of Spring, 2012, other robotic techniques including specialized underwater cranes will be used to extract and lift the valuable cargo. Recovery project manager Andrew Craig has estimated the precious metal extraction process will require approximately three months.
The ship and its sinking
Location (red dot) of SS Gairsoppa shipwreck in North Atlantic.
As laid down at Newcastle in the year 1919, the SS Gairsoppa was 121.69 meters (m) in length, with a beam of 15.90 m. She had a depth of 8.66 m and a draught of 7.82 m. She was propelled by a 517 nhp (nominal horse power) triple expansion steam engine driving a single screw propeller. The engine was built by the Palmers company of Newcastle, England. It had cylinders of 69 centimeters (cm), 110 cm and 200 cm diameter by 1.2 m stroke to propel the ship at 19.4 kilometers/hour. when operating, the SS Gairsoppa was registered in the homeport of Glasgow, Scotland under registry to the British-India Steam Navigation Company
During World War II, the SS Gairsoppa was returning from a voyage to India in February, 1941, when the ship left its convoy in order to sail for the Bay of Galway. Unarmed and without escort, she was fired upon by the German U-101 boat under command of Korvettenkapitan Ernst Mengersen, who sank a total of over 67,000 tons of allied ships. The last reported position of the SS Gairsoppa was slightly to the west of the Celtic Sea shelf, southwest of the Irish coast. All 88 seamen perished, except for five European and two Lascar (south Asian) crew members. These survivors drifted ashore in a lifeboat two weeks after the sinking; moreover, their point of landing was on the Cornish coast at Caerthillian Cove under command of R.H.Ayres, the ranking survivor.
Deep-sea life that may be encountered

As valuable as the recovery of seven million ounces of silver might be, the exploration of this unexplored part of the Abyssal zone of the North Atlantic may present even more precious scientific information on the lifeforms and geology of the ocean bottom where the SS Gairsoppa lies. The Abyssal zone is noted for its lack of nutrients, high oxygen content, and almost total lack of sunlight. In spite of these cold dark conditions, there are a remarkable array of fish, invertebrates, bacteria and other biota that inhabit this zone; examples of the fauna here are sea urchins and sea cucumbers who roam the abyssal plain, which itself is often studded with sea lilies and other deep sea flora.
The fauna tend to be translucent, red coloured, or even luminescent carnivores, with much of the food supply falling from the Mesopelagic zone and Bathypelagic zones above. Examples of these curious fauna are luminescent shrimps. Some of the permanent denizens of this deep ocean zone who are able to withstand the extremely high pressures of the Abyssal zone are Black swallower, Tripod fish, Deep-sea anglerfish and Giant squid. Some larger abyssal fauna have underslung jaws adapted for sifting the benthic sand and mud in order to scavenge for prey. But in this particular part of the North Atlantic it is likely that totally new species may be encountered, based upon the microtopography and microclimate of this particular geometric benthic environment. Higher in the water column are pelagic fishes such as blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) and Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus).
It is even possible that the shipwreck could be proximate to a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, a location where a natural sub-sea hot springs emerges, replete with unusual chemical composition. Such vents have been found elsewhere in the Atlantic bottoms and almost always harbor extremophile organisms, i.e. rare lifeforms adapted to harsh conditions of extremely hot temperatures and high concentrations of specific minerals or gases.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich came to Loves Park Wednesday to detail his plans to revive the region's economy.
During a visit to a Loves Park factory, the governor outlined a number of programs to help manufacturers, including a $25 million revolving loan fund.
The loans will help manufacturers replace outdated equipment. More grants and training programs are another component of the governor's plan and local labor leaders say it's all good news.

"Saving face can't make you safe. Talk about HIV for me, for you, for everyone." This is the theme for Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, May 19.
Asians and Pacific Islanders (APIs) comprise an exceptionally diverse population, representing 1.7% of the U.S. population and 2% of new HIV infections in 2010, according to CDC. Most Asian HIV/AIDS cases are among gay/bisexual men and transgender individuals. Language and culture represent key barriers to care, as outlined in this HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau fact sheet.
A Trans Woman Living with HIV
TA and Training Resources
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau and its partners have developed a number of resources to address HIV/AIDS among API populations.
Highlights include:
- Clinician's Guide to Working with Asian and Pacific Islanders Living with HIV. Resource guide for medical providers addressing basic cultural challenges presented by Asian and Pacific Islander patients living with HIV infection.
- BESAFE: A Cultural Competency Model for Asians and Pacific Islanders. This cultural competency guide, one in aseries, is for health care professionals providing services for these populations. The guide is based on the BE SAFE framework (Barriers to Care, Ethics, Sensitivity of the Provider, Assessment, Facts, and Encounters).
- The Compendium of Culturally Competent Promising Practices: The Role of Traditional Healing in HIV Clinical Management (AETC National Resource Center).
These resources were guided, in part, by a 2004 HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau consultation session examining Access to HIV/AIDS Care Issues for the Asian and Pacific Islander Community, one in a series of Community Consultation Meetings to assess the impact of HIV/AIDS on various underserved populations.

In early 2010, Public Works managed the installation of photovoltaic panel systems at the Frazier Administration Building and at the Frisoli Youth Center. A total of 5.26 kW was installed; 2 kW on the Frazier Building and 3.26 kW on the Frisoli Center.
Websites for both the Frazier Building and the Frisoli Youth Center display real-time data for viewing by the public and school classes. There will also be a small meteorological station to monitor temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation.
Please note there is a gap in PV energy data due to a system glitch. Please contact Public Works with any questions.
Funding for these projects came partly from Cambridge residents choosing to pay a small surcharge on their electric bills each month to support renewable energy, along with matching funds from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust, and a bonus awarded by the Trust as the result of a successful community drive that enrolled 300 Cambridge residents and businesses in the New England Wind Fund. The wind fund is operated by the Massachusetts Energy Consumers Alliance to support the development of wind energy projects. It is through the financial support of Cambridge residents and businesses and their commitment to clean energy solutions that the City is able to move forward with such projects.
Two additional projects were made possible by matching funds from the Clean Energy Choice Program. The Cambridge Water Department will perform a study to assess the feasibility of solar PV installation at the Sullivan Water Purification Facility and Payson Park Reservoir. The Department of Public Works will also purchase 11 new Big Belly solar trash compactors to install in high trash volume areas such as the squares and parks, bringing the City's total to 58. The solar-powered compactors reduce truck trips to collect trash and provide better management of trash in public spaces.
The City of Cambridge is committed to reducing its carbon footprint through investing in clean energy. Learn more about the City's climate and energy initiatives.

Granite Bay Supervisor Kirk Uhler could be off the recall hook
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Placer County Supervisor Kirk Uhler may not be the subject of a recall drive after all. Members of Save Granite Bay, which is behind a possible recall petition drive, met earlier this week with their Granite Bay-area, District 4 supervisor. And a leader with the group indicated afterward that a change may be in store. Will Ellis – a Granite Bay doctor and co-founder of Save Granite Bay – said Uhler was conciliatory and that the direction the district's community plan process is now moving has left the group reconsidering its options. The group served Uhler with a notice of the recall petition last week but one of their main areas of concern – whether the supervisor would support a major, $750,000 revamp of the Granite Bay Community Plan – was answered unexpectedly for them when he opted for a low-cost option with little threat of major changes. Uhler said today that if the two sides had been able to meet earlier, he could have told them that he was in support of the low-impact option that was also backed last week by other supervisors and county staff. Uhler added that he believed he was able to convey to group members that earlier public meetings and work by the county were part of a process that led to the decision. Asked why he decided on the low-impact plan update, Uhler said that he was "listening" to his constituents. Ellis and Save Granite Bay had feared a massive overhaul of the previous plan and a loss of the community's character in the face of developer demands. "It is a surprise," Ellis said. "He finally listened and now we need to decide how to react to that surprise." Ellis said Save Granite Bay leaders will be meeting and likely decide on what direction to take over the weekend. "I have to give him credit," Ellis said. "He surprised us and I think we need to be thoughtful."

The Clayton Town Council, New York, recently approved a local law that regulates wind energy facilities.
According to a council representative, the new law limits the height of wind towers to 500 feet (from ground to blade tip), and sets noise levels at 50 decibels. The law creates a zoning district overlay that includes the west side of NYS Route 12 to Depauville and County Route 179, and Depauville to 1,500 feet north of County Route 12 on the east side of NYS Route 12 from just south of Gunns Corners. The application fee is now $50 per MW.
PPM Atlantic Renewable of Portland, Ore., is devising to build a 120 MW to 130 MW wind farm using 65 turbines. Fifty-four of the turbines would be in the overlay area in the town of Clayton – the balance would be in the town of Orleans.

Air Pressure
This graph shows the recent history of atmospheric pressure. A falling trend can mean that stormy weather is approaching, while a rising trend usually heralds fair weather is on the way.
The color spectrum shows the current, high, and low values for air pressure since midnight. The trends at the time of each measurement is shown by the arrow.
This pie chart shows the percentage of all the measurements taken in the last 24 hours that fall within the ranges shown.
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above. At sea level on Earth, on average, atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds of weight distributed over every square inch of surface area. This means that a column of air an inch across and stretching upward to the "top" of the atmosphere only weighs 15 pounds.
Differences in surface air pressure from one region to another are caused by solar heating. As the Sun's energy heats up Earth's surface, the atmosphere above also heats up, causing the air to expand and become less dense. Less dense air weighs less than a similar volume of denser air, and so atmospheric pressure is less. It is differences in atmospheric pressure between one region and a neighboring region that drive winds.
Air at lower pressure is less capable of containing water vapor (water in its gaseous state), and so low pressure regions are more prone to the formation of clouds by condensation, especially if the air is cooled and becomes even less capable of holding water vapor. Storm systems are typically associated with low pressure zones.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
Mrs. Evans (b. In or Before 1942 - d. between July 31, 1971 and October 31, 1981) was a Muggle, married to Mr. Evans. She had two daughters: Petunia and Lily Evans. The family lived in Cokeworth, near the home of the dysfunctional Snape family.
While Petunia was a Muggle like her parents, Lily was a Muggle-born witch, something Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans were very proud of. Petunia, on the other hand, was jealous and considered her sister a "freak". Mr. and Mrs. Evans suffered normal Muggle deaths, though the exact causes are unknown; it was sometime before the murder of their youngest daughter in 1981.
Through her elder daughter, she is related to the Muggle Dursley family, and through the younger, to the wizarding Potter and Weasley families.
Mr. Evans
Mrs. Evans and her husband were most likely a happy couple and had a good marriage before their deaths.
Lily Evans
Like her husband, Mrs. Evans was extremely proud of their youngest daughter, Lily, and was very fond of her magical powers.
However, this made Petunia feel left out and jealous of her sister.
Petunia Evans
Mrs. Evans's relationship with oldest daughter Petunia may have been good, but she and her husband favoured Lily because of her magical abilities and she felt left out.
Mrs. Evans died sometime between July 31, 1971 and October 31, 1981 from a normal Muggle death, although the exact cause is unknown. It is unknown if she died by the time her daughters were married, but was most likely dead by the time her grandsons were born.

Notes and references
- ↑ Mrs. Evans had to be at least 17 to have Petunia, who is born in the late 50s; if Petunia is born in 1959, which is likely, then her mother's birthdate must be in or before 1942.
