General comments
In 22.214.171.124.1: there are ISO codes that could be recorded for England (GB-ENG) and other "countries". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB
In 22.214.171.124: no codes should be recorded because there is no appropriate larger place to be recorded for these places. Even though the point of recording a larger place is not to record what jurisdiction a place belongs to but what part of the world it is in, we have not recorded a larger place for the Isle of Man because it is not politically a part of the U.K. (as far as I understand) and can only be said to be in the British Isles, a non-jurisdictional island group. The DNB proposes recording GB or Great Britain as the larger place, but the Isle of Man has its own ISO code (IM). This optional addition to 22.214.171.124 should be removed.
In 126.96.36.199: there are ISO 3166-2 codes for the principal subdivisions of all countries. So instead of recording Friedberg (Bavaria) as the preferred name, they could record the code for Bavaria (DE-BY), or for Farnham (Dorset) they could record GB-DOR. --John Hostage (talk) 06:47, 19 August 2013 (PDT)
The Task Force on the Recording of Place Names has no objection to the introduction of the alternatives proposed in 6JSC/DNB/2, although members expressed little enthusiasm for implementing them here. As the proposal says (page 2), a more general revision of the instructions for place names will be needed, including consideration of treating larger places explicitly as related entities, and our Task Force hopes to contribute to that. In the meantime, we would be happy to see these alternatives added to RDA if they are required to address the immediate needs of the German cataloging community. --Robert J. Rendall (talk) [on behalf of the Task Force] 11:45, 3 September 2013 (PDT)
I agree that the instructions for place names do not make sense outside the Anglo-American community. Like the Task Force on the Recording of Place Names, I do not mind accepting the proposed alternatives to solve the immediate problems of the German cataloging community. But I am looking forward to the Task Force's contribution on this matter—Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, Sept. 4, 2013
The DNB proposal has two major components, which are conflated in the phrase "as a separate element, e.g. with a code". These are two distinct issues.
1) Using a code to represent geographic entities: This has a number of advantages, as pointed out in the DNB document. However, the possible use of codes is not confined to geographic entities. Any RDA element might be recorded using a code, provided only that there are standard codes defined in an appropriate encoding standard. RDA takes a very general approach, stated at RDA 0.12:
"For certain elements, the RDA instructions refer to external vocabulary encoding schemes (e.g., the instruction on recording the script or scripts used to express the language content of a resource directs the cataloguer to the terms listed in ISO 15924).
"For certain elements, the RDA instructions include a vocabulary encoding scheme that is internal to RDA (i.e., a controlled list of terms defined specifically for use with RDA). For those elements, data may be encoded using a substitute vocabulary encoding scheme, provided the encoding scheme is identified."
The DNB proposal falls somewhere between these two provisions. The DNB proposal does not seem to fall under the first provision, as it does not specify that ISO 3166 codes be used; it simply uses them in examples. It is not clear that the second provision applies, either, as the instructions for recording Place do not seem to constitute a "controlled list of terms".
I would argue that the DNB proposal is incomplete. Either there should be an explicit instruction authorizing the use of ISO 3166 codes as an alternative when recording place names or 0.12 should be revised to allow the use of alternative vocabularies (including codes) for recording preferred names as well as controlled terms. My inclination would be to prefer the more general approach (revising 0.12).
2) Treating larger place as a separate element: The DNB proposal says to record the larger place or jurisdiction as a separate element, but it does not in fact propose the addition of such a separate element. In order for the instruction to make any sense, it needs to include a reference to instructions for recording the separate element -- Name of Larger Place. Those instructions are missing from the proposal. Without such instructions, the proposed alternative cannot be applied.
I would also note that ALA (6JSC/ALA/19) suggested two possible ways of treating larger places: as a separate element or as a relationship. The responses to that proposal indicated support for treating larger/smaller place as relationships. Until a decision has been made between these two options, the DNB proposal seems premature. Although ALA did not take a position on this issue in ALA/19, I believe that we might want to express our preference for the relationship approach.
-- John Attig, 2013/09/04
Agree with John that DNB needs to decouple recording the name of the larger place/jurisdiction as a separate element & recording that information as a code. Kathy Glennan (talk) 11:18, 6 September 2013 (PDT)
Can anyone help me understand why "instead of, or in addition to" is added only to the proposed alternatives in 22.214.171.124.2 (Places in a State, Province, Territory, Etc.), in 126.96.36.199.1 (Places in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), in 22.214.171.124.1 (Places in Overseas Territories, Dependencies, Etc.), in 18.104.22.168 (Places in Other Jurisdictions), and in 188.8.131.52 (Places within Cities, Etc.)?

The Mini-500
One of our regular home roasting customers (and super nice guy) Henry Chang dropped by today to show us his Mini 500. No, not his sub-compact sports car...his mini-shop roaster. Henry personally imported it from Taiwan a few years back. It looked very cool parked next to our much larger Probat roaster. The Mini 500 is a propane burning drum roaster that has can roast 500 g. (just over 1 lb.) per batch. It's essentially a sample roaster or small-scale commercial roaster, with a variable cast iron drum, needle gas valve for flame adjustment and an external cooling tray. Henry vents his roaster using dryer tubing, which attaches perfectly to the top of the chaff cyclone. It's a fun roaster to use, but we wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a good deal of roasting experience under his/her belt. Are we going to sell it on sweetmarias.com any time soon? No way. Hottops, Gene Cafe's, Behmors, FreshRoasts, Nescos and popcorn poppers are more our speed.

I am curious as to why there has not been much talk about Stoops.
I know he has a seemingly bad resume (23-33) but he is very close to turning that program at Arizona around.
He took over an Arizona team that had finished 2-10 (sound familiar?) and over 5 years has his team sitting at 7-5 and is bowling.
If you take a closer look at Arizona's schedule this year, you'll see that all of their seven wins were by two touchdowns or more and had an average margain of victory of nearly 30 points . Their five losses were by a combined 28 points, or 5.6 points per game. One of which was a tightly contested 17-10 loss to USC.
I don't know much about his recruiting ties to the Midwest, but I do know the recruits down south will recognize the name Stoops. Plus, he has a solid recruiting class coming in this year, or at least compared to ISU's. And also, this year, by far Stoops best, was the first year in which he coached a team made up in its entirety of his recruits.
Also, he's familiar with heated in-state rivalries, and bested in-state and preseason ranked rival Arizona State 31-10.
I am not saying his the perfect hire, like, say a Turner Gill, but he has been consistantly building a BCS program (sorry Graham) down there in Arizona and has supposedly expressed interest in ISU. And from the list's I have seen lately, I would say he should be towards the top.
Sorry for exceedingly long post. Hoo-ray first posts!
I would support this hire, but I'd be curious why he would want out of Az?
He's been on the hot seat in Arizona for the last couple of years but it looks like his program has turned the corner at the same time the rest of the Pac 10 sans USC is heading downhill. Maybe there are issues, but from the outside I don't know why he would walk away from what he has invested in the Arizona program to come to ISU.
On the plus side for him, he calls things like he sees them:

He has the last name to wow people but nothing in his past says he is anything but mediocre. If Iowa State is going to win and build, it needs somebody that can win, regardless of how many season tickets their name sells the first year or two.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

I think Stoops has been mentioned numerous times.

I personally don't like the "Stoops" persona that he and his brother give. In my opinion, both are arrogant and wouldn't fit in well with ISU fans. Bob has backed up his arrogant attitude, his bro has not.

[quote=St810s;785760]I am curious as to why there has not been much talk about Stoops.
No Hawks or ties to Iowa, paleeeeeeez! If we hire a Stoops, what's to keep us from lowering our standards and hiring a Brands next?

exactly! All he would bring was the annual Stoops v stoops game (similar to former bowden bowl.) Other than that he offers nothing more than what we have seen in the past.

I don't know how much faith you can put in a coach that has only had a experience at non-bcs schools and fcs schools. I think Stoops experience is more closely related to the body of work that lie ahead at ISU than any other candidate.
The MAC and C-USA success does not translate to BCS success IMO.
His experience is similar but it's what he has done during that time that is troubling. Arizona is a program that realistically should have been to this point a year or two ago. He was on his last lifeline before beating ASU to end the season and it's going to be much harder to win in Ames, IA than Arizona.
Wouldn't be a terrible hire IMO. I like the fact he has head coaching experience in a major conference at a job that's difficult to recruit to, compared to the rest of the Pac 10 schools. Obviously Tucson has things to sell a recruit that Ames doesn't (far better climate and population) but compared to the rest of the Pac 10 spots Tucson is the red headed step-child.
It reminds me a bit of the Alford/New Mexico thing. Stoops doesn't feel like he's getting the love at AZ and his time will end the next time his team stumbles and he's looking for another job with a new, longterm contract.
As an added bonus, our game @ Oklahoma in 2010 would probably be on a major network (ABC/ESPN)
If not Stoops, who else?
Loney- Nice guy, like the enthusiasm. Beyond that....
Farley-Recruiting killer, good coach though.
Graham-Had success at an already successful Tulsa. Chiziked Rice.
Norvell- No more coordinators please. Please...
Calhoun- Moderate success in MWC doesn't say much
Hill- FSU has been going downhill since early 00's success
I just don't know what coach, aside from Gill, I would want to entrust with our fragile program with. I still gotta go with Stoops.
Little known fact, Calhoun coached against McCarney in Mac's first game.
Ohio - Calhoun was QB coach in '97
This was Calhoun's first job outside Air Force...
The only thing I remember about Mike Stoops is seeing him on the Oklahoma sidelines ranting and spewing profanities. As has been stated here both brothers have big egos, but Bob at least seems to be more in control. I think we can do better than Mike Stoops, but I think I'll defer to JP on that decision.

Breaking through Blaine's roadblock
Today's school-choice proponents are fighting not only teachers unions but a legacy left by some of their ancestors: the Blaine Amendments in 37 state constitutions
"Breaking through Blaine's roadblock" Continued...
"Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling."
That slapstick humor from the book of Proverbs has rarely been better illustrated than in the current drive for school choice. Pro-voucher Protestants excited by the Supreme Court's late-June green light have now run into stop signs placed in state constitutions by some of their ancestors a century or so ago.
Those stop signs are called Blaine Amendments, and 37 of the 50 states have them. Delaware's is typical: No state money "shall be appropriated to, or used by, or in aid of any sectarian, church, or denominational school." But it's the story behind those amendments that could make all the difference in a U.S. Supreme Court analysis of the constitutionality of these provisions.
Most cover stories in WORLD have what journalists call a "face" and a "nut graf." The face is usually a person who can add human interest to what otherwise might be a dry story. The "nut graf" in one paragraph gives the essence of the tale. This story is unusual in that the "face" is a man who died over a century ago, House Speaker (and presidential candidate) James G. Blaine. The nut graf can be one sentence: The state constitutional roadblocks that educational choice now faces grew out of anti-Catholic bigotry, anti-Southern politics, and the myth of educational neutrality.
Voucher proponents over the coming months will be emphasizing the role of anti-Catholic bigotry in the passage of Blaine Amendments, and it was a central one. But the other elements were important too, and we'll attempt to look at all of them.
WHEN JAMES G. BLAINE died in 1893, the great orator Chauncey Depew predicted that "his name will rank with Lincoln's." The Washington Evening News stated, "He has carved his name on the rock of enduring fame, where it will remain when the waves of countless years have rolled against it and receded from it." But 40 years later Blaine biographer Charles Russell gave an accurate summation: "No man in our annals has filled so large a space and left it so empty."
Blaine, born in Pennsylvania in 1830 to a loosely Presbyterian father and a Catholic mother, was brought up as a secularist. He moved to Maine in 1854 and edited newspapers in Kennebec and Portland before gaining election to Congress in 1862. As biographer Edward Stanwood put it, "A facile pen, a wonderful memory, a tendency to intellectual combativeness, and a social disposition" underlay his success both in journalism and politics. In 1868 Blaine became Speaker of the House of Representatives, and by the autumn of 1875 seemed the likely successor to President Ulysses S. Grant.
As the leaves fell in Washington, though, Blaine and other Republican strategists saw that he and the GOP had some problems. The 1874 elections had produced a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives for the first time since the Civil War, in part because wartime tensions had diminished while concern about GOP connections to big business scandals had increased. Republicans such as Senators Oliver Morton of Indiana and John Sherman of Ohio, along with Wisconsin Governor C.C. Washburn, looked for ways to re-energize the Northern Protestants who formed the Republican base.
Probable candidate Blaine himself had some weaknesses along those lines. Some Protestant voters were nervous about his semi-Catholic ancestry and the charges of corruption that dogged him. Blaine issued a statement emphasizing six generations of Protestant ancestors (on his father's side) and noting that he attended church regularly. But what about an issue that could drive a wedge into the Democrats and excite many Republicans?
Then, as now, most parents were deeply concerned about the education of their children. Education in America had traditionally been in the hands of private, often church-led schools paid for by parents, with scholarships provided to needy students. But since the 1840s tax-supported government schools had spread throughout the Northern states. The intellectual leader of the movement was Horace Mann, a Unitarian who had overcome opposition from some Northern Protestants by assuring them that the new, secularized public schools could still include daily reading from the King James Bible and generic moral instruction.
That would not have been enough to clinch Mann's victory but for concern among many Protestants about the growing number of Catholic immigrants, largely from Ireland. Opposition to such immigration, and concern that children going to Catholic schools would grow up to oppose American liberty, led to riots in the 1840s and 1850s, including one in Philadelphia in 1844 that resulted in 13 deaths and the burning down of a Catholic church.
Some writers wanted to stop all immigration, but others looked to public schools to save America. An article in The Massachusetts Teacher in 1851 stated that children of immigrants "must be taught as our own children are taught. We say must be, because in many cases this can only be accomplished by coercion.... The children must be gathered up and forced into school, and those who resist or impede this plan, whether parents or priests, must be held accountable and punished."
The Civil War brought out in the North an emphasis on sacrificing individual rights to preserve the Union, and that carried over into the educational debate. Andrew Coulson's book Market Education quotes a statement from California's education superintendent that children should be taught to consider teachers as "superior to the parent in point of authority." The Wisconsin Teachers' Association declared in 1865 that "children are the property of the state." The National Teachers' Association (precursor to the National Education Association) in 1866 published claims that "the duties which a citizen owes to the government are prior to any personal or individual claims."
Some biblical Protestants in the North still put theological duties first and emphasized parental responsibility for educating children, but they were outnumbered. Blaine represented well a generation that embraced a myth of educational neutrality, the idea that school subjects could be taught without any reference to God. By the 1870s the only section of the country where governmental authority over schooling received sharp, popular attack was the South, and that also played into the thinking of GOP strategists.
R.L. Dabney, a theologian who had been Stonewall Jackson's adjutant-general and would go on to help found the University of Texas, engaged in a press debate with Virginia's new superintendent of schools in 1876. Dabney argued that "if secular education is to be made consistently and honestly non-Christian, then all its more important branches must be omitted, or they must submit to a mutilation and falsification, far worse than absolute omission. It is hard to conceive how a teacher is to keep his covenant faithfully with the State so as to teach history, cosmogony, psychology, ethics, the laws of nations, as to insinuate nothing favorable or unfavorable touching the preferred beliefs of either the evangelical Christians, Papists, Socinians, Deists, Pantheists, Materialists, or Fetish worshippers, who claim equal rights under American institutions. His pedagogics must indeed be 'the play of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet omitted.'" (For more of Dabney, see p. 32.)
But Blaine and other Northern Republican leaders were not listening or did not care. Blaine perceived an opportunity to hit both Catholics and Southern whites, two groups largely lost to the GOP anyway, and win crucial support among Northern advocates of a bland Protestantism. He gained the support of President Grant, who had only a superficial knowledge of Scripture but hated Catholicism, which Grant called a center of "superstition, ambition and ignorance." The president on Dec. 7, 1875, proposed a Constitutional amendment that would require states to establish government-funded schools, forbid those schools to teach any religious tenets, and prohibit any government funds from going to religious schools.
Blaine introduced such an amendment the following week. Vermont Senator Justin Morrill wrote, "The Catholics will rave, but I suppose there is not one who ever voted for free-men, free-schools, or the Republican party in war or peace." Ohio Senator Sherman crowed that "the Priests from the Pope down have been so foolish as to assail our common schools. Their position is untenable." An April, 1956, issue of The Catholic Historical Review cites many other examples of anti-Catholic sentiment surrounding the legislative debate.
What became known as the Blaine Amendment easily passed the House of Representatives in 1876 by a 180-7 vote, but 98 congressmen abstained. That prefigured a more contentious Senate debate involving the issue of whether the amendment gave the federal government too much power over the states. The Nation, then a new political magazine, favored Blaine's measure but in March, 1876, predicted that it would fail and speculated that Blaine did not care: "All that Mr. Blaine means to do or can do with his amendment is, not to pass it but to use it in the campaign to catch anti-Catholic votes."
Blaine's popularity in the House also did not carry over to the Senate, where senators such as William Wallace Eaton of Connecticut showed little desire to further an "election dodge.... This whole business originated with the Hon. James G. Blaine.... It was one of his dodges to get a nomination." And Blaine surprisingly did not get that nomination. Concerned with charges that Blaine had accepted bribes-"Blaine, Blaine, continental liar from the state of Maine" has gone down in political history as one of the most effective negative campaign chants ever-the GOP convention chose "clean" Rutherford Hayes by a slight majority. The Senate then turned down the Blaine Amendment by four votes.
But that did not end the matter. Blaine remained a prominent GOP leader for the next 16 years and served twice as Secretary of State. He became his party's presidential nominee in 1884, only to lose narrowly to what one of his supporters called the party of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion." And other Blaine supporters kept alive his bigotry and political strategy by placing "Blaine Amendments" in state constitutions. Many Northern states did so voluntarily, and Congress often required Western territories joining the union to enact such articles. Some Southern states, animated by anti-Catholicism and losing the Dabney vision, joined in at various times.
The Becket Foundation for Religious Liberty has detailed the history of many Blaine Amendments and reported recent judicial interpretations of them. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the Cleveland voucher plan did not violate Section 2, Article VI of the Ohio constitution, which states that "no religious or other sect, or sects, shall ever have any exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the school funds of this state," because through the voucher program school funds would reach such "sects" only through the "independent decisions of parents and students."
The Wisconsin Supreme Court concluded in Jackson vs. Benson that the Milwaukee school-choice plan did not violate that state's Blaine Amendment, which stipulates, "nor shall any money be drawn from the treasury for the benefit of religious societies, or religious and theological seminaries." The Court ruled that the phrase "for the benefit of" should be construed strictly and did not apply to incidental benefits.
Texas' Blaine Amendment is also vulnerable, according to a footnote in the Texas Supreme Court's 1995 decision in Edgewood Independent School District vs. Meno. Then-Justice John Cornyn-now the Attorney General of Texas and a candidate for the U.S. Senate-wrote that the Texas constitution does not require education for the public to be provided solely by a state agency: "As long as the Legislature establishes a suitable regime that provides for a general diffusion of knowledge, the Legislature may decide whether the regime should be administered by a state agency, by the [school] districts themselves, or by any other means."
Arizona's Supreme Court in 1999 examined that state's educational tax-credit law in light of Article 2, section 12 of the Arizona constitution: "No public money or property shall be appropriated for or applied to any religious worship, exercise, or instruction, or to the support of any religious establishment." The court in Kotterman vs. Killian upheld the tax credit, noting that no money "ever enters the state's control as a result of this tax credit.... Thus, under any common understanding of the words, we are not here dealing with 'public money.'" The Arizona court also noted that Blaine Amendments were a "clear manifestation of religious bigotry ... we would be hard pressed to divorce the amendment's language from the insidious discriminatory intent that prompted it."
Courts in other states with Blaine Amendments may also be deciding whether to construe them narrowly, construe them broadly but attack their constitutionality, or uphold them by kicking out any religious programs using money from state coffers. Missouri, for example, has a very thorough Blaine Amendment that forbids any government body ever to "pay from any public fund whatever, anything" that would "sustain any private or public school, academy, seminary, college, university, or other institution of learning controlled by any religious creed, church or sectarian denomination whatever." If a Missouri legislature were inclined to support school choice, it might be wise to follow the tax-credit route, whereby money that sustains the schools parents choose never gets into a public fund.
Of course, all these considerations may become moot if the U.S. Supreme Court gets involved in reviewing Blaine Amendments. That became more probable last month when a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the State of Washington's Blaine Amendment action-denying a state scholarship to Joshua Davey, who intended to use it to study to be a pastor-violated the student's First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion.
Recent Supreme Court precedents-including Rosenberger vs. University of Virginia and Good News Club vs. Milford-have not supported government actions that discriminate against religious practices and institutions. So the Supreme Court may very well disavow the Blaine Amendments directly, or bury them along the lines of the majority opinion authored by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist two months ago in Zelman vs. Simmons-Harris: "The Ohio program is entirely neutral with respect to religion (and permits) genuine choice among options public and private, secular and religious." When aid is given to parents, not directly to schools, it is directly supporting parental choice, and only indirectly the school that the parents choose.
And perhaps Justice Clarence Thomas will write the majority decision, for he has forcefully noted that "nothing in the establishment clause requires the exclusion of pervasively sectarian schools from otherwise permissible aid programs." Joined by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy in Mitchell vs. Helms (2000), Mr. Thomas referred to the Blaine Amendments by noting, "Hostility to aid to pervasively sectarian schools has a shameful pedigree that we do not hesitate to disavow." He emphasized that "this doctrine, born of bigotry, should be buried now."

Tips for Hurricane Preparation – The Garage Plan Shop
Hurricane season begins in June and lasts to the end of November. If you live in a coastal area, of course you will want to prepare ahead of time. Below are eight hints and tips to help you prepare:
- Plan – Create a plan for your household and review it with all of its members. Include a place away from home where everyone can meet if they cannot get home. Also, designate a contact away from your immediate area that everyone can call in case of emergency. Keep hard copies of emergency numbers in case cell phone batteries fail.
- Emergency Kit – Put together an emergency kit in a waterproof container and keep it in a handy place. Include items like a battery operated radio, first aid kit, water, non-perishable foods and flashlights.
- Utilities – Know the procedures for shutting down electric, gas, water, etc. Prevent damage from sewers and septic systems with a backflow device.
- Stormproof – Consider reinforcing roof trusses, garage door openings and other vulnerable areas. You may want to install storm shutters. If you board up windows and other openings, have your supplies ready to go. Secure outdoor items. Keep the trees near the house trimmed and consider replacing landscaping gravel and rocks with softer items like bark or mulch.
- Evacuation Route – Review the safest and most direct route to your community shelter should you have to evacuate. Plan to avoid dangerous areas like dams or levees and know alternate routes should yours be blocked.
- Pets – Collars and chips should include your current contact information. Have leashes and carrying cases ready in case of evacuation.
- Check Information – You may be able to sign up with your local government for emergency alerts via phone or email. Make a record of important phone numbers to call for assistance. Don't forget to have your insurance information handy just in case.
- Cash – When disasters hit and power is out for prolonged periods, cash is king. ATMs don't work, businesses may not be able to process credit cards for a while and banks may be damaged or closed. Plan ahead and have a reasonable amount of cash available.

Alpenstube offers a very versatile indoor-outdoor dining experience where you can relax and savour an imported German draught beer in the garden, have coffee and homemade pastries on the front patio, and enjoy a leisurely lunch or intimate dinner in the cosy interior. Aside from its large following of locals who carry them through the winter months, Alpenstube is fortunate to have many overseas visitors – German, Dutch and English - who, like the swallows, return year after year to their favourite Hout Bay haunt.
Now open at lunch time, the well-priced menu features traditional specialties such as Geschnetzeltes, thinly sliced port fillet in a creamy mushroom sauce, alongside light meals such as the Chef's Burger, seasonal salads and a couple of soups. Master Chef Kurt has thoughtfully included several menu items specifically for children so that Alpenstube can be enjoyed by the whole family.
The signature dish must surely be the traditional Eisbein, but please call in advance to check availability. Other dinner recommendations are the grilled Fillet Steak, as well as Schnitzels to suit all tastes – pork, veal and chicken. You will also find fresh fish on the menu when available from the harbor. The pastries, desserts and cakes are all homemade, so why not indulge in whatever takes your fancy.

Calamari at the Chapman's Peak was voted as "one of top 20 things to do in Cape Town". Seafood might be the specialty of the restaurant, but grilled steaks and venison are a must.
A popular meat dish is the "Portuguese Steak" – cubed fillet served with our secret sauce – served in a pan. Also served is the typical Portuguese Espetada – steak on a skewer. Looking for somewhere with a fireplace during those cold winter night? Look no further than the Chapman Peak Restaurant.

US Youth Soccer Far West Regional League restructures format for 2013-2014
May 15, 2013 12:29 PM
FRISCO, Texas (May 13, 2013) –
US Youth Soccer Far West Regional League
has redesigned the league structure for the upcoming 2013-2014 season to consist of three geographical divisions. The Far West Regional League serves as the premier league competition for teams in the Under-13 through Under-18 age groups in Region IV and the restructured league format will better serve teams seeking meaningful and competitive league play.
US Youth Soccer is divided into four regions, Region I (East), Region II (Midwest), Region III (South) and Region IV (West) to assist in national competitions. The FarWest Regional Leauge is joined by the Region I Premier League, Region II Midwest Regional League and Region III Southern Premier League as the country's top regional competitions, with successful teams from each Regional League qualifying into the prestigious
US Youth Soccer National League
Under the new format, the Far West Regional League will consist of three divisions; California League, Four Corners League and Northern League, to better accommodate the geographical size of the western region. The new structure will provide teams a better format for meaningful and competitive games for individual and team development, as well as provide a platform for advancement to the
US Youth Soccer Region IV Championships
and the National League.
Breakdown of States in the New League Format:
California League:
California North and California South
Four Corners League:
Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Southern Nevada and Utah
Northern League:
Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Northern Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming
"The new format of the US Youth Soccer Far West Regional League will help provide a more efficient league structure for the top teams in the western United States," says US Youth Soccer Region IV Director, Ken Edmunds. "Teams are looking for a consistent calendar of meaningful and competitive games in a more practical travel schedule, and the opportunity for advancement to the US Youth Soccer Region IV Championships and the National League brings added incentive to ensure the competitiveness of the Far West Regional League."
Four teams from each age group will earn advancement to the annual Region IV Championships; the top two finishers in the California League, as well as the top team from each of the Northern and Four Corners Leagues. The Region IV Championships is regional stage of the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, the oldest and most prestigious youth soccer national championship competition in the country. In the Under-13 through Under-17 age groups, two teams from the Far West Regional League will also earn a spot in the National League, which consists of the top 16 teams in the country, the following year. Details on National League qualification are still to be determined.
Teams must apply to gain entry to the Far West Regional League divisions. For more information on the application and league requirements, contact your State Association or US Youth Soccer Region IV at

I'm migrating users from one Zimbra server to another, and for a variety of reasons can't do a wholesale backup/restore of the /opt/zimbra directory. So I've created all the same accounts on the new server as on the old, and am using imapsync to sync up mail folders. I've run into two quandaries though:
1) How can I extract passwords (encrypted) from the old server and set them directly on the new server? When I use zmprov, all I see is "userPassword: VALUE-BLOCKED" instead of the encrypted password. Is there a way to get the password entry?
2) How can I copy over Contacts? The Contacts folder in Zimbra seems to be a special one, so that imapsync isn't able to copy "messages" from one server to the other in that folder... instead, I simply see repeated "NO APPEND failed" messages.

|Crazy wind, little snow
A winter storm moved through the area Saturday night and into the day on Sunday dumping a few inches of snow that didn't lay very nicely due to the high winds accompanying it. This unique drift appeared in the yard of Jason and Adair Reese a half mile east of Grant. The bare ground indicates the minimal snowfall. Temperatures remained in the low 30s Monday and Tuesday but are expected to rise again by the weekend. (Photo by Jan Rahn)

(USA Today) -- We all know of child prodigies, but a cat maestro? Nora the Piano Cat, who apparently envied the attention that her piano-teaching owner gave to her students, has taken "copy cat" to a whole new level and become a YouTube sensation.
An American shorthair, Nora is owned by Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow of Philadelphia, who adopted her as a kitten in 2004. Alexander, the piano instructor, says she and Yow came home one day to hear the piano playing in the next room and found Nora sitting on the bench.
In disbelief, Alexander began filming Nora and posting the videos on YouTube for her niece. The videos went viral and have more than 37 million views. Nora's online success has led to TV appearances with celebrities such as Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and Tyra Banks, and she was the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' Cat of the Year in 2009.
The "diva" of the household, Nora reigns supreme among the couple's seven household cats, Alexander says. She's protective of her piano, often shooing away and swiping at her fellow felines. And while Nora always loves an audience, "she plays for her own pleasure."

|HHS gym to go pink Oct. 13
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
In recognition of breast cancer awareness month, Holyoke volleyball players have challenged their fans to pink out the HHS gymnasium Saturday, Oct. 13 when they face Burlington.
HHS senior volleyball player Lindsay Helgoth is spearheading the Pink Out game—the third annual event for the Holyoke volleyball team.
The vision is to have the crowd all decked out in pink. Volleyball players will be wearing pink jerseys when they face the Cougars Saturday afternoon.
Cancer survivors will be honored at Saturday's volleyball game. Any breast cancer survivor planning to attend the game should call Helgoth at 854-2828 or 580-7039 or the school at 854-2284 to give them the heads-up.
Saturday, autographed team balls and other items will be available in a silent auction, and a bake sale will be held.
Proceeds from the silent auction and bake sale will stay local and go to Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation to assist with funding for mammograms or other breast cancer prevention.
Saturday's Pink Out games are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in Holyoke.

Atlanta, GA, July 25, 2013 - It seems that everywhere you call, youll hear the exact same message, XXR wheels are on a nationwide backorder. First Choice Wheels and Tires took the initiative to try and beat the system by ordering over a thousand wheels a year in advance. Of course there was no way to order every single size and finish, so we wanted to stick with the most popular items. With a selection of 20,000 part numbers, you can see how this might get overwhelming stated Dino Cajic, CEO of First Choice Wheels and Tires. He explained that XXR is a brand that people want.

When ONeil and Fouse entered the tire business, there were more than 300 companies making tires. ONeil made the decision to bypass the original equipment (OE) market and focus on a premium replacement tire. The oversized General Jumbo was born and additionally, the duo focused on pneumatic truck tires. It wasnt long before the company formed a team of devoted independent dealers who were tenacious, aggressive and business savvy. It was this group who positioned the General brand as the unquestioned premium tire producer in the field.
In the mid-1920s, General Tires engineering team revolutionized the tire manufacturing industry when they invented the low-pressure General Balloon Jumbos. Requiring only 12 pounds of air pressure, the Balloon Jumbos were the first of several new ideas including the blowout-proof Dual Balloon, Dual 8, Dual 10, Squeegee, and Dual 90. It was this kind of innovation and technology that continued to position the General brand as one of the industrys best.
Focus on Truck Tires - In 1928 General Tire established themselves as a major player in the truck tire manufacturing game with the invention of the rubber flaps for truck tires. Then in 1931, Generals team of ambitious engineers created a complete line of low pressure truck tire balloons. Two big steps in the evolution of the truck tire. An agreement in 1934 placed General Tire on International Harvesters approved OE list bolstering the companys growing truck tire business. A few years later, in 1937, General Tire was on the OE list of all major truck manufacturers. These marquee moments opened the door for the ambitious General Tire dealers in the replacement and retreading sales segments.
Growth Spurt - General Tire went International in 1930 when they incorporated in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary, The General Tire & Rubber Company, S.A., of Mexico. This would be where the companys distinctive International business would grow. The following year, General Tire acquired a 50-percent interest in Aldora Mills, a tire fabric manufacturing operation out of Barnesville, GA. And by 1937, full ownership of the factory signaled the expansion of General Tires domestic tire investment necessitated by an astonishing increase in vehicle registration across the US.
By the mid-1940s, the U.S. faced a critical tire shortage due to World War II. General Tire, along with other manufacturers, agreed to help and selected Waco, TX as the site for its second U.S. facility. In what was the industrys most modern plant, tire production began in November of 1944.
Entry into the passenger car OE market in 1955, first as a General Motors supplier and later for other major automobile manufacturers, presented a critical need for more modern and efficient plants. For quality assurance, the worlds largest tire test track was built in Uvalde, Texas in 1959 followed by the addition of a third domestic plant in 1960 in Mayfield, KY.
General Tires fourth and fifth plants were added in 1967. A giant facility in Bryan, OH as well as an automobile and truck tire facility in Charlotte, NC. Finally, in 1973, General Tires sixth plant began operations in Mt. Vernon, IL with full radial tire production capabilities. Following this wave of plant openings, General Tire closed the doors to its original, and obsolete, plant in Akron, OH in 1983. Three years later brought the closure of the Waco, TX facility in 1986.
Continued Innovation As the years progressed so did technology, and General Tires team of scientists were at the forefront of the tire industry. In 1943 they solved a 40-year industry problem with the discovery of the carbon black latex-mixing masterbatch principle. The team demonstrated their worth again in 1949 with the invention of oil-extended rubber a synthetic rubber tenstrike which was patented in 1960. Their Gen-Tac adhesive was the answer for tire cord, and they were awarded patents for Nygen tire fabric, radial tire building machines, and a method (and machine) for improving performance characteristics of pneumatic tires.
In addition to its growth in the tire business, General Tire branched out into businesses that included aerospace and defenses, entertainment and broadcasting, chemicals/plastics, and industrial products.
Evolution The shareholders of General Tire & Rubber Company proposed a change of names to GenCorp and the establishment of GenCorp Inc. as the parent holding company. On March 29, 1984 this proposal went into effect and a subsequent restructuring of the company exited the tire business by divesting General Tire. In early 1987 Continental AG of Hanover, Germany, expressed an interest in purchasing General Tire and on October 30, 1987 the sale of General Tire to Continental AG from GenCorp was finalized.
Who We Are Today Today, General Tire continues the tradition of offering a complete line of quality, ultra-high performance, passenger, light truck, off-road, and commercial tires. While the General Tire engineering team continues to develop state-of-the-art technologies such as Duragen, 3D Sipe, and Monitor Technology, the red letter GrabberTM continues to be the trademark of the General Tire brand.
The Mt. Vernon, IL plant continues to operate building over three million General tires a year. The test track in Uvalde is also in full operation and is unsurpassed in its ground-breaking elements. General Tire is part of Continental Tire the Americas, LLC and is based in Fort Mill, SC. With sales of 30.5 billion in 2011, Continental is among the leading automotive suppliers worldwide. As a supplier of brake systems, systems and components for powertrains and chassis, instrumentation, infotainment solutions, vehicle electronics, tires and technical elastomers, Continental contributes to enhanced driving safety and global climate protection. Continental is also an expert partner in networked automobile communication. Continental currently has approximately 169,000 employees in 46 countries.

Hey y'all,
I hope everyone's enjoying the day off today from Wimby action!
Just a reminder about the comments section: there have been some recent incidents of readers bashing other reader's comments and others going completely off-topic. I understand people are very passionate about certain subjects and won't agree or even like my opinions. In that case, feel free to direct your comments to me. If I can dish it out then I can certainly take it.
But let's not bash other readers for voicing their opinions or make it an opportunity for a venting session. I usually only delete spam or comments used for promotional purposes but I'll have to start deleting reader comments if this continues.

I'm a sweet little innocent girl I swear!! I didn't even bash anyone who said Ginge is a butterface. I swear!!
You go, Rich. This is your blog and you do what you're comfy with. If they don't like what you say they can go make their own blog. Frak it. *hugs*
I second that! This always used to be a fun place where people meet up and chat about their fave topic - tennis.ReplyDelete
It would be a shame if it turned into a comment war everytime you or we post something.
Apparently some jerks can only voice their anger and frustration when bashing people online anonymously. Pathetic.

When you bash other people like you do Rich, and get for that many praises from ass kissers, of course people would want to puke.Or disagree with shallow posts of yours or shallow comments.ReplyDelete
But this is a quite place, so no need for worry.
Just don't bash yourself in the first place.
There must be a wave of demonic posters hanging around. I know that Forty Deuce has had to implement a thing where you cannot post unless you sign, perhaps Rich needs to think about doing that as well. I think anyone who comes on the internet and posts Anonymously does not deserve to have their posts aired in the first place. If you are too much of a coward to put your name on your posts, then you dont deserve to have your opinions aired in the public domain.ReplyDelete

text: 2006 marked the forty-second year of continuous production for Ford's F-series of full-size pickups. Strangely, the F-series derives quite a bit of its popularity and longevity from the fact that company decided to go against Henry Ford's maxim of giving the customer very few choices. For model year 2006, Ford introduced a new trim package for the F-150- the Harley-Davidson Edition. Another new addition- this time an option for some trims and standard equipment for others- was satellite radio. Traction control was also offered for trucks with V8 engines and two-wheel-drive.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hall of Famer Hank Aaron is being honored by baseball greats, dignitaries and his family during a celebration of his 80th birthday this weekend in the nation's capital.
Attorney General Eric Holder saluted Aaron at a private party Friday night near the White House.
Reggie Jackson and fellow Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Robin Yount, Ozzie Smith, Jim Rice and Rickey Henderson paid tribute to Aaron. Commissioner Bud Selig also saluted Aaron.
Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record 40 years ago when he hit his 715th homer while with the Atlanta Braves. "Hammerin' Hank" finished with 755 homers, a mark later broken by Barry Bonds.
Aaron turned 80 on Wednesday.

LEXINGTON, Va., Oct. 8, 2012 – Research by VMI's chemistry department is producing cut flowers in shades unknown to nature. Yellow hydrangea and blue lisianthus blooms are the most successful products that have come from studies of how the application of metals can change the color of blooms.
In both cases, molybdenum was the key ingredient, making a white hydrangea bloom yellow and a purple lisianthus bloom blue.Altering soil chemistry to effect a change in bloom color is nothing new, as gardeners have traditionally used aluminum sulfate to ensure their hydrangeas have a blue hue.
Col. Henry Schreiber, professor of chemistry, along with cadets Corinne Lariviere '13 and Blaine Groat '13 are working to discover what metals react with the pigmentation processes of particular plants.
"People have been trying to get what you don't have naturally," said Schreiber, who has been working on producing yellow hydrangeas for about seven years and has studied the reactions of other metals as well, including iron and uranium. The project was funded in part through a grant from the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers.
Having found that molybdenum produced solid results, the work going forward consists of fine-tuning the process.
"It's about carefully manipulating the concentration of the metal. Ideally we want to make a blue bloom before it even develops, so we're adding molybdenum to the soil in hopes of the bloom developing as a natural blue bloom," said Lariviere.
Blue lisianthus blooms are currently being produced by cutting the purple flowers and placing them in vases containing molybdenum solution. Getting the plant to produce a blue flower to start with is a matter of maintaining the correct concentration of molybdenum in the soil over time.
"There are all sorts of variables in terms of how to optimize pigmentation," said Schreiber. "If the solution is too strong, the plants will die; if it's too dilute, they won't have enough color, and some varieties are easier to color than others."
To complicate matters further, pigments respond much differently to metals in the test tube than they do in the plant. For example, mixing the hydrangea pigment with molybdenum in the test tube produced a blue hue rather than the yellow found when molybdenum was added to the plant.
That complexity presents a challenge and an opportunity for cadets.
"This research involves so many processes and ideas and ways of thinking," said Lariviere. "We're not just in the lab working on the bench. We're going out into the field, and it's always something new and interesting."
Lariviere will graduate this December and is looking forward to studying chemistry in graduate school.
"This has been a lot of fun," said Lariviere. "When I first started, I wanted to go to medical school, but I really got into chemistry and now I love it."
Since the summer following her 4th Class year, Lariviere has been working on altering the pigmentation of flowers. She presented the results of that research at the International Hydrangea Symposium in Angers, France, alongside experts from around the world.
"I got to go to France this summer to present on the yellow hydrangea, and that was a pretty incredible experience," said Lariviere. "I was definitely the youngest one at the conference. That was a little bit intimidating to say the least."

text: By Tim LinscottManaging Editor A two-vehicle accident at approximately 10:22 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5 resulted in two men being sent to the hospital. The accident took place at the intersection of roads 757 and 335, three miles south and three miles west of Madrid. Russell Lee, 52, of rural Madrid, was driving a white 1996 Chevy Lumina north on Road 335 when his vehicle collided with a 2003 Kenworth single-axel gas truck driven by Jared Book, 32, of Wauneta. Book was driving east on 757, going through the intersection when the Lee vehicle hit the rear passenger tire of the gas truck. The impact of the collision sent the gas truck off of the road to the north, rolling twice. The car driven by Lee spun, facing west, before coming to rest. Both men were taken to Perkins County Health Services via ambulance for injuries sustained from the accident. Lee was trapped in his vehicle and removed without the use of extraction tools. Book was not ejected or trapped and was able to leave the vehicle on his own. Lee suffered back and spine injuries and Book chest injuries. Lee was flown from Grant to another facility. "The patient was flown out because he had injuries that necessitated transport to a facility for a higher level of care," a Perkins County Health Services spokesperson said. The truck was owned by Frenchman Valley Coop and sustained $10,000 in damages while the Lumina owned by Lee was considered a total loss. Lee was not issued a citation and information for a possible citation will be forwarded to the Perkins County Attorney's office regarding Book. The Grant and Madrid volunteer fire departments responded to the accident along with the Perkins County Sheriff's office. A special foam was used on the truck to contain a gasoline leak on the scene.

Critical Senate investigative report says Benghazi attack was preventable
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—A United States Senate investigative report released
on January 15, asserts that the Benghazi attack that occurred on September 11,
2012 in which a US diplomat was killed, could have been prevented. The report
blames the military and intelligence agencies, including the State Department for not
making contingency plans after they received warning signs that an attack was
The critical report also reveals that in the months prior to the attack, Ambassador
Chris Stevens and other State Department officials in Libya outlined concerns via
cables to State Department headquarters about the security of the Mission compound
in Benghazi and made several requests for additional security resources.
According to findings, On July 9, 2012, Stevens sent a cable to State Department
headquarters requesting a minimum of 13 "Temporary Duty" (TDY) U.S. security
personnel for Libya, which he said could be made up of DS agents, DoD Site Security
Team (SST) personnel, or some combination of the two. These TDY security
personnel were needed to meet the requested security posture in Tripoli and
Benghazi. The State Department never fulfilled this request and, according to Eric
Nordstrom, State Department headquarters never responded to the request with a
Susan Collins, the Republican senator from Maine concluded the report by saying:
"While I support the SSCI report and appreciate its thorough analysis of much of what
went wrong, I believe that more emphasis should have been placed on the three
issues I have discussed: (1) the Administration's initial misleading of the American
people about the terrorist nature of the attack, (2) the failure of the Administration
to hold anyone at the State Department, particularly Under Secretary Kennedy, fully
accountable for the security lapses, and (3) the unfulfilled promises of President
Obama that he would bring the terrorists to justice."

For its failure to respond or intervene in a timely manner, the US military also received
its share of criticism in the report.
