PORT HUENEME, Calif. (NNS) -- The latest group of engineers graduated from the Navy's Engineering Duty Officer (EDO) School's basic course at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme, Calif., May 3.
Basic Course Class 2013-2 graduated 13 active duty and five reserve students. The active duty EDOs all have follow-on orders to complete their engineering qualifications tours at shipyards, regional maintenance centers, supervisors of shipbuilding and Space and Naval Warfare Systems field activities. The reservists will return to their units to continue their qualifications and drill with their active duty colleagues.
Guest speaker, Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy, commander of Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command and the Navy's senior engineering duty officer, said that training EDOs is very important with widespread reach across the fleet. He also presented the school with a plaque dedicated to the 300 active and reserve Engineering Duty Officers who served on Individual Augementee (IA) assignments and supported the Global War on Terror from 2005 to 2012.
"Engineering duty officers are the Navy's guardians of technical compliance and excellence," said McCoy. "The training they receive here at EDO School provides the technical and business education that, combined with their operational experience, lays the foundation of knowledge they will need to build the future fleet and maintain its current readiness."
Capt. Tom Brovarone, the school's commanding officer, accepted the plaque and spoke of the challenges they faced.
"These individuals played a major role in defeating a counter insurgent enemy when they helped countries rebuild and modernize their infrastructure, provided essential services to their citizens and provided the systems and expertise to counter a new weapon that killed and wounded thousands of their Sailors, Marines, Army Soldiers and Airmen," Brovarone said. "The Global War on Terror used a doctrine that was different than past wars because of an insurgent enemy and the unique new weapons and tactics they employed. Troops on the ground discovered that running water and electricity was just as important as providing security."
"Combat leaders found that their roles expanded beyond command and control of forces to coaching, mentoring and teaching government and industry officials. All these new challenges could not be met with combat troops alone," he said. "There was an increased need for engineers, and the need stretched traditional engineering capabilities and exceeded existing capacity. In short, engineering support of infrastructure became an element in the stabilization of Afghanistan and Iraq."
According to Brovarone, ED officers are unique to the Navy because they start their career as unrestricted line officers, learning how to operate ships or submarines. They then obtain technical/engineering masters degrees. Afterwards they combine their operational experience and technical knowledge to become the technical business leaders for the Navy.
"Engineering duty officers ensure that our Naval and Joint Forces operate and fight with the most capable platforms possible; Warfighting First," said Brovarone. "It's our business to ensure our warfighters can Operate Forward, Be Ready and by providing them the world's greatest ships and weapons systems, to win in combat."
EDO school's staff of eight coordinates four basic courses and two senior courses per year. The school's five-week basic course provides newly-selected EDOs with knowledge of plans, programs, policies and procedures by which the Navy accomplishes the acquisition and life cycle engineering of naval ships, submarines and systems. In addition to subjects taught by staff and technical experts, students receive approximately 25 percent of their instruction from senior community leaders, including flag officers and senior executive service members in specific program areas. The guest lecturers provide students the most up-to-date information in a given field while delivering first-hand leadership advice and the opportunity for one-on-one career counseling.
"The training has been challenging and rewarding, and has provided me with the foundation to carry out my duty as an Engineering Duty Officer when I get back to the fleet," said Lt. David Johnsen, class valedictorian and winner of the NAVSEA Vice Adm. 'Russ' Bryant Award, whose next duty station is Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

Canadian entrepreneurs started the new year with a healthy boost of optimism, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). The Business Barometer® index jumped three points to 65.7 in January.
"After a lacklustre November and December, small business owners across Canada are starting to feel more optimistic about the future" said Ted Mallett, CFIB's chief economist and vice-president in a press release. "While it's too soon to make any conclusions about 2013, the latest survey results are very encouraging."
Small business owners in Alberta (70.5) are once again the most optimistic the country, although Ontario (65) experienced increased small business confidence.
"Overall, there's a lot of optimism in white-collar industries such as professional services, finance and the information sector, but manufacturing, retail and construction are not far behind," he said.
Full-time hiring plans have jumped to a post-recession high, with 27 per cent of businesses expecting to hire additional staff in the next few months. Similarly, 44 per cent of business owners described their state of business to be in "good" shape – the best score of in the past four years.

VideoGamer.com: Obviously there is whipping in the game. And obviously there is motion sensing technology coming out for the Xbox 360 and PS3. You've said 2010 for release of Castlevania. I'm thinking later 2010, which might be after both Sony and Microsoft have released their motion sensing products. Is there an opportunity to incorporate motion sensing into the game?
DC: Yeah, possibly. I don't know. I'm still on the fence about Natal and Sony's motion capture technology. I love my Wii. I love playing Wii games, but I don't want to be jumping around my living room playing a shooting or a platforming game. Funnily enough I had a meeting this morning about Natal. I think it offers some interesting aspects to gameplay, but I'm not sure it's something I'd want to bolt on to a game we're halfway through developing already. I think what we've got is really special. It's got some amazing gameplay elements we haven't shown yet, which I'm really excited about. If we just said, oh let's try and get Project Natal, try and get some kind of thing where the guy can run about... I don't think it would do the game justice or the series justice. I might consider developing a Natal game at a later stage. I'm yet to be convinced about Natal.
VideoGamer.com: So it's fair to say this game won't support Natal or Sony's wand?
DC: Not this game. Absolutely not.
VideoGamer.com: Can you tell me about the graphics engine that's being used?
DC: MercurySteam developed their engine themselves when they were working on the Scrapland, then they upgraded it to next generation. They came to me with a project prior to working on Jericho with Codemasters. The technology then was absolutely amazing. I knew they had something special. And I also knew we would have to be quick if we wanted to work with these guys. It's a very powerful engine. It can do anything a lot of the other engines can do out there and some more. The game itself at the moment is probably about 60 per cent complete, so I think you'll see quite a high level of polish on the title once we get nearer to E3 next year.
VideoGamer.com: What's the engine called?
DC: Mercury Engine. A lot of the guys in the development studio have a a lot of game experience. They've been developing games for 20, 30 years, so they're very experienced. When Kojima-san came to visit a few weeks ago, we went out to dinner afterwards and he said to me some of these guys are geniuses. Real geniuses. He said they're the kind of people you need to keep on the development team. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to show the world they can be considered a premium developer. I think you're only as good as the last game you did. For them it sticks in their throat when they get bad press about Jericho. When a bad game comes out sometimes it's not the developer's fault. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. You know working with a publisher and the publisher might have certain demands, etc etc. I think they're going to surprise a few people with this game. I think people will be impressed.
Somebody was asking me have we got quick time stuff in the game? Yeah. We do have some quick time events but not in terms of fighting boss characters. The Ice Titan you saw, we have big titans like that in the game, like Shadow of the Colossus. It's all real time. All the fights are real time. I hate QTEs. We do have these little mini-games but they're not involved in the main fights. They're, without revealing too much, we have a system that's very different to what's out there right now. We want to keep that under wraps for now but it doesn't involve you having to take your eyes off the screen. Some of these games you have to go square, triangle, circle, x, and you lose the impact of the amazing things that are happening on screen. We didn't want to have that in the game, so all the big titan fights and the boss fights in the game are real time.
VideoGamer.com: What kind of framerate are you guys looking for?
DC: Well, is framerate that important? I know that Dante's been saying about 60 frames per second. Do people really care? We will certainly have the game running at a very high framerate, so well above 30 frames per second, probably 40 or 50 frames. But it's not one of our design objectives to have the game running in 60 frames per second. Not at all.
VideoGamer.com: But 30 frames at least?
DC: At least.
VideoGamer.com: I understand you're a big old school gamer, and Rocket Night Adventures is one of your favourite games.
DC: Yeah.
VideoGamer.com: Any other classic old school games you'd like to give a similar treatment to the one you're giving Castlevania?
DC: Yeah. I'd love to do something with Contra. But at the moment I'm completely focused on this. I want to carry on focusing on this until the game comes out, because we want to deliver something that's worthy of the Castlevania name. But yeah, who knows? It doesn't work like that at Konami. Basically you're competing against everyone else in all the other studios. So when you go to these big meetings and you say I've got this game idea, you're doing it in front of everyone. Everyone's got to be really impressed. So if I was going to do a Contra game, it would have to be something absolutely exceptional, in terms of not only visuals, but I'd like to do a really cool story associated with it as well.
VideoGamer.com: I bet you've half sorted the proposal out in your head?
DC: [Laughs] Maybe. Maybe. I used to know a guy called Mitch Ueno - you probably don't know but Mitch Ueno was the producer on Super Castlevania 4, and also the producer on Contra Alien Wars. This is a guy nobody knows about. The thing about Castlevania is it's always had people who have taken care of it. It's like a child. For the last 12 years we've had IGA-san [Koji Igarashi] looking after the series, but other creators added to the flavour of Castlevania and what Castlevania was all about. And now the baton has been passed to me I feel a huge responsibility. I think the fans will like what we're doing. I think they're probably a bit sceptical, some of them now at this point. But this game's definitely got all of the elements that have been in the previous 'Vanias. They're in there. We may not have shown it yet but they're definitely there. At the same time people are going to see this as a very new proposition in terms of what people expect from a Castlevania game. I'm not just talking about gameplay. I'm talking about story elements, where we take the game, where we take the main character, all of these things add up to something that's got a real emotional impact. So hopefully people are going to like it.
VideoGamer.com: Perhaps when you're wrapped up with Castlevania you can get that Contra proposal sorted?
DC: We'll see. Konami has got some great franchises. I think we need to work harder to get our games to a better level. We're working hard on this particular title and we have some plans internally to do some other stuff. My studio, for example, we have some new projects that we're working on that we haven't announced yet, which I hope will put Konami back in the mainstream with some cool games. Good quality, high calibre, high production standard games.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is due out on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010.

THE 8-YEAR-OLD sat near a sand bucket in her therapist's office Sept. 24 and was asked to act out her biggest fears for the next day, when she would go to court and face the man who tried to take her and threatened to kill her.
The girl took a toy lamb and put it on one side of the bucket: That was her. She took a dinosaur and put it on the other side, between two animal guards: That was him.
After a short time, the dinosaur knocked the guards down, ran up to the lamb, grabbed her, dug a hole in the sand and buried her alive. Then he ran away.

Calgary Flames center Olli Jokinen is on the market as a free agent, and several teams would be smart to look into pursuing the veteran.
Jokinen has been traded five times in his 13-year career, but he played the entirety of his most recent contract with the Flames.
Even at his age, the 33-year-old is still producing. His 61 points last season show that.
Though Jokinen's goal total has declined, he hasn't stopped supporting his teammates.
Since he broke out in 2002-2003, Jokinen has averaged 33.6 assists a season. The 38 he tallied in 2011-12 eclipse that rate.
Those assists could help these teams who have ice time and cap space possibly opening up this fall.

Creating a Gender-Neutral Nursery
Keep these tips in mind when decorating your nursery for a gender-neutral space.
When it comes to the change table, think outside the box. As a general rule, nursery-specific furniture is very expensive, especially for custom pieces. Save money by repurposing a sideboard or dresser as a change table. We converted a raw-wood dining console (Norden occasional table, Ikea) for our space and painted it in a coordinating colour drawn from the art with no-VOC paint to avoid any unwanted fumes or chemicals. Also on console: Manny & Simon reclaimed-wood elephant and Adler Giraffe sconce by Jonathan Adler, all Ella + Elliot; clothing and diapers, Walmart; changing table pad, Pottery Barn.
Storage is a big priority in a child's room. For such small people, babies sure come with a lot of stuff (diapers, wipes, blankets, toys, etc.)! The key is to conceal clutter and minimize the amount of surface area taken up by key items. These decorative bins (Ella + Elliot) are great, not only because of their fun print, but also because they are easy to wipe down; the lining can stand up to any spit-up hurled its way!
Think about furniture that will grow with your child. Next to clothes, cribs and beds are the worst kiddie-culprits. Choose an adjustable crib (Gulliver crib, Ikea) that can be lowered as your child grows and that can ultimately be transformed into a toddler bed. Also on crib: striped blanket, Olio Uptn bumper, pillows and sheets, Ella + Elliot.
Choose pieces that make you smile; after all, you will be spending a lot of time in this space for the next little while! For example, instead of a traditional glider, we opted for this small rocker (Ryder rocking chair, Prism pillow and Favorite throw, all West Elm). Its clean lines make it small enough for the space and also mean your youngster may want to keep in their room in the future. Other fun finds: 3 Sprouts hooded towel, P'Kolino Con Leche clothes tree, Knoll Kids Maya Lin stone (as table), all Ella + Elliot; Agen children's armchairs, Ikea.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Hipster, Funky, Retro / Vintage
What materials did you use? *Kona Cotton Solids - Classic jelly roll*Kona Solids - New Bright charm pack*about 1yd black fabric + more for backing
What are you most proud of? lots of stretching involved in this one to get everything to line up... I'm pretty amazed it came out so well. I just love the cinnibun quilting pattern, it contrasts so well with the blocks. (I got it quilted thorough Missouri Star.)
What advice would you give someone starting this project? HERE IS THE PATTERN: http://blog.missouriquiltco.com/awesome-and-free-falls-quilt-pattern/ You have to be VERY CAREFUL cutting the long pieces (darkest border of the squares) because you just barely have enough; like, start right up on the selvage line, or even put the selvage in your 1/4" allowance. If you mess up cutting the other pieces though, it's okay; you are going to have a bunch left over for the binding. If you mess up a lot you might have to forego the colorful binding, though.Also, color selection is key here. Lay everything out and match up the color ways!
REally interesting, simple but fun to look at, great job!
ughhhh craftsy redesigned their projects page and deleted some information. But here is the pattern: http://blog.missouriquiltco.com/awesome-and-free-falls-quilt-pattern/ if the link breaks again you can search for "falls" on the missouri star blog site.

Ez is at that awkward age where all he wants to do is stand up, unfortunately he is a bit of a lump and my arms give up way before his desire to be upright does! This is when the jumperoo comes into it's own. He's just realised that he can jump up around but he's still not quite old enough to be grabbing for the toys, you can plonk him down in there and he'll keep himself occupied for ages, giving my poor arms time to recover.
The bonus of the jumperoo is that it wears him out and the super secret free gift from this? Sleeping babies in a jumperoo are one of the cutest sights ever!!

Pneumothorax of the clinical variety usually called "spontaneous," while not a particularly rare disease in young adults, occurring with greatest frequency in persons between 20 and 30 years of age, is relatively uncommon in childhood. Coccheri and Rossi1 in 1932 reviewed all the available literature on pneumothorax in children up to 12 years of age and added sixteen cases observed by them, making a total of three hundred cases. None of their own cases, however, occurred in new-born infants. In these infants, that is, in those less than 3 weeks of age, pneumothorax is very rarely encountered. The last detailed discussion on this subject in the English language was by Stein2 in 1930. Stein was able to review only four cases from the literature. The case which he added at that time he concluded, after some years of subsequent observation, to be one of cyst of the lung,

Band Practice
Through the woods, up and down a mountain side, bits of rock climbing, and a dive into a sketchy channel with waves crashing into rocks. What a good one!
Brittany is the design department and I'm the IT and code monkey department. Put the departments together for this year's Digital Christmas Card and you have this silly scratch off game: OMG EMOJI.
It's not as easy banging on they keyboard with Alvis on my lap these days. Top is at two weeks old, bottom is at four months.
With all this business build-up at The Boardr, people are asking questions. I've got two interviews out there this week:
Delta is waiting for Clements and I at a layover in ATL on the way to Portland. Their over the top service involves a ride on the runway in a Porche to get you to your next gate quick and comfortable. Wow.
A little over a year ago when Brittany and I thought of a bunch of silly Photoshops of rappers holding cereal tweaked and punned to match their names, we were fully entertaining ourselves and kept cranking them out. Next thing you know, Snoop posts his, Waka posts his, and it sort of snowballed from there. Complex Mag picked it up and then it went to Mashable. Today we got this graphic from a friend showing how Rappers and Cereal made it onto Who Wants to be a Millionare. Damn! Get more from Brittany at her site.

Has anyone ever heard of Petshop of Horors? If not you should deffo check it out. There's this creepy guy named Count D who looks like a girl and he's the pet shop owner. Oh yea, and the pets they buy will resemble humans and come with special instructions they have to follow or they end up getting killed by their beloved pets. :( I've only seen a few eps. but i have some of there books its just as good!<3Here's the synopsis:In an anonymous city in Chinatown, a mysterious pet shop stands nestled between restaurants and pop stores. The storekeeper, known only as "Count," offers a marvelous selection of rare and unusual animals with the ability to manifest their masters' hidden desires, unfulfilled wishes and hopes for a second chance - but there's one catch. The buyer must sign a contract agreeing to follow a specific set of instructions for the animal's care and maintenance. Breaking the terms of the contract results in serious repercussions for which the shop assumes no responsibility-so, let the buyer beware.
hmn... it`s seems familiar^^ "past is passed and let the past passed away"
If not u should check it out its really cool!
"past is passed and let the past passed away"
Wasn't there a movie about this? back in like, the 80's? Wasn't it.... GREMLINS? People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
Yea i remember that movie, but this anime is pretty twisted i think. One episode that i seen was with this man who had just got married on a cruise ship, something happen to his wife and she goes over baord and gets lost at sea. So the guy goes to the pet shop and sees a mermaid that looks just like his wife and of course its a man eating fish, well long story short she ate him in his own back yard pool. Tragic.:(
i read the manga version. I havn't seen the anime version of it. There's a manga sequal called, "Petshop of Horrors: Tokyo". ^___^
Yay<3 Yea i read about the sequal, i wish i could find it on dvd because its a reallly neat anime. strange but good!

Credit crunch?
Harry McGee
Over the years a lot of people have vied to be identified as being the one who coined 'the Celtic Tiger'.
I'll tell ya one thing for nothing: that was a cliche as soon as it was uttered for the first time.
There's been no soup-kitchen like queue forming to claim the glory for 'credit crunch'.
It must be the most underwhelming description of what's happening at the moment – which, basically, is the whole universe falling apart at the hinges.
I'm away on a fact-finding mission in France (ie a junket). And while the banks collapse, and the economy crumbles and the whole future of the universe is placed under threat, I'm worrying about the inadequacy of a phrase.
So here goes: There must be a better, more evocative phrase that will one day make a cliche of which we are all proud. Here are a couple of suggestions, none of them great.
The liquid lurch?
The credit crush?
The credit collapse?
The debt disater.

Affiliated Cricket Clubs will be given 10 tickets each and 3,705 tickets will be made available for corporates. KSCA members will get 2,800 tickets," Kumble said.
Replying to a question, KSCA secretary Javagal Srinath said all steps have been taken to ensure foolproof security during the match. We have taken security steps in consultation with the city police," he said.

Bob Kravitz decided to wade into some dangerous waters:
It might be foolhardy to read this into the Indianapolis Colts' decision to fire Jim Caldwell, but that's never stopped me before: What Tuesday's announcement suggested to me is, they've moved on, emotionally if not physically and officially, from Peyton Manning.
While I don't believe that this decision has much impact on the decision about Peyton Manning, I also don't believe it means he's returning. Manning will return if he wishes to return, is healthy enough to do so and the Colts decide they want him to return.

Vin Diesel Reveals 'Fast and Furious 7' Locations
Posted on Friday, May 17th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Fast and the Furious 6 (or just Furious 6) opens today outside the US, and next week in the States. There's already plenty of talk about the seventh movie in the series, which will bring back most of the major cast from the last few films, and will feature a new villain. James Wan (Saw, Insidious) will take over as director, as Justin Lin finally moves on.
Vin Diesel has been the source of quite a bit of news about the series over the past year or two, and now he throws out two locations for the seventh chapter. One won't be much of a surprise, while the other is something new. We'll keep all the main info after the break, so as not to spoil any secrets of Furious 6 for those who haven't been tipped to the details of the current film's ending. Read More »

On deck in Herding Cats: why you should have quit…
Best Drive-Thru Breakfast in America with Josh Androsky
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what about for the person on-the-go? We went to three top fast food chains to discover where to find the best drive-thru breakfast in America.
Director: Cassandra Lee Hamilton
Music: Cowabunga Babes
[Music throughout]
Josh Androsky: Hello again, my children. It's me, little Joshy wonderful, and I'm here with Savings.com. Today, we are going . . . [burp]. Okay, one more time.
Hi, I'm Josh Androsky with Savings.com. Last time we saw you, we went through the best value menu options, and we heard one thing; you want us to check out what's going on at breakfast.
Starting your day with thousands of calories in deep-fried grease and fat doesn't sound like the best idea, but we've all been there. We've all done it before. Look, let's face the facts. We're going to eat fast-food breakfast. Join me as I discover which fast food place has the best breakfast. Let's do it.
Going to Jack in the Box. Breakfast served all day.
What would you say is like your signature breakfast item? Thanks. Have a good one.
We're here in the beautiful Jack in the Box parking lot, about to try some J-Bo Break-Fo. So, you got the breakfast grilled sandwich, which feels like a sandwich. I'm going to put some hot sauce on this. Of course, hot sauce. It's necessary. [Singing] all of the hot sauce. I don't know why it's wet. Should it be wet? I don't think it's supposed to be wet.
So, this is a floppy hash brown. It's got a hair in it. So, there's nothing special. I don't know exactly what I was looking for. You can get breakfast at any time at Jack in the Box. You can do it yourself. You can do this yourself. You don't need somebody else to do this for you. Look at this. It's like my hands are wet and shiny.
Onto the next place.
I'm scared. Waffle taco, that's not fair, you can't just like pick up a waffle and fold it and call it a taco. That's not how tacos work. Am I crazy? Did my car get fat from Taco Bell? Thank you. I got a bell to pick with Taco Bell. I just got kicked out of Taco Bell for filming. What are you trying to hide Taco Bell?
So, we're just in the parking lot right outside of Taco Bell. We're about to test their new breakfast menu. All right. Wind's kicking up, I think God is angry that Taco Bell serves breakfast.
First up . . . so this is hilarious, on the Breakfast Crunchwrap, it says, "This is the best decision that you've made all day." It's like Taco Bell being like, "Look. You woke up. It's 8:00 AM. You didn't kill yourself."
"Ninja Star of Doom."
The flavor is good, but it tastes like really delicious cardboard. This is Taco Bell's breakfast menu as the uncanny value of food. This says, "Right now, I'm eating a waffle taco, and you're not." I'm already poisoning my body with food. You don't have to be cute about it. Because it's a thing that's folded doesn't mean . . . like, I have a futon. Is that a taco? I can't do it.
You guys are still doing breakfast? Oh. There's the guy with the camera at the drive-thru again. [Singing] I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of Mc-decadent." I'm here at McDonald's breakfast, the most iconic breakfast of them all. Hash brown. It's not too flippity-floppity. Is there anything better than a hash brown?
What's going on on this one? Sausage McMuffin with egg. It's so good. The Miss America of fast-food breakfasts; the egg McMuffin. You're going to eat this. You're going to love it or just be content. It's consistency. I officially cannot eat any more food.
We're back at the house. Let's talk about what we learned today. Lesson number one: don't eat three fast-food meals. Lesson number two: McDonald's breakfast is the best. If you are a top-level executive at Taco Bell, jump off a bridge. It's like eating jail. It's like eating an entire jail.
And the winner? It may surprise you. It's not McDonald's. If you have to start your day with McDonald's, you're doing something incorrect, the real winner; the Bloody Mary. Any day that starts with a Bloody Mary ends with satisfaction. You can quote me on that.
Josh Androsky quit writing stuff he hated for TV to become a staple of the LA comedy scene. He started shows on the steps of City Hall, went viral as The Skateboard Rabbi on The Price is Right, launched a successful Kickstarter for a US tour, and is a contributor for VICE.

Origins and Description
Bonefish Grille is a restaurant chain known nationally for its outstanding commitment to serving quality seafood. Produced and facilitated by its owners, OSI Restaurant Partners, Bonefish Grill has spread from its roots in St. Petersburg, Florida, to over a hundred locations across the United States. Seafood restaurants vary in their dedication to serving the freshet seafood possible, and Bonefish Grill makes its name by relying on daily shipments of fish that are procured from all over the world. All of the products coming in to Bonefish Grill on a daily basis are inspected and hand but by specialists in the kitchen. There is a commitment to quality at Bonefish Grill that kee3ps standards high but realistic, and the progressive nature of their ongoing search for new dishes helps to keep customers with frequently changing palates.
Bonefish Grill regularly offers new dishes, based on availability and trends in the market. There are employees of Bonefish Grill who travel the world to find interesting new ways to serve fish, and new dishes altogether with fish they have not previously served. The ongoing research and effort to find new plates is a big reason that Bonefish has established itself among the leaders in seafood dining. As a whole, there are few other companies who seek to progressively expand their horizons through ongoing commitment to quality and innovation. Flown in from all over the world, dishes at Bonefish Grill can give the diner an experience they may only otherwise achieve through traveling themselves.
Seafood = Cost
Fresh seafood can be extremely expensive, due to the cost of shipping to areas across the mainland of a country or continent. Bonefish Grill keeps prices reasonable in an effort to provide a memorable dining experience for patrons. Though reasonable when compared to other high-end seafood establishments, the prices at Bonefish Grill are a fair representation of the quality of food being served, which is top-notch. Diners looking to experience seafood in a new way or simply enjoy a standard on the Bonefish Grill menu may benefit from coupons for the restaurant. Available both on-line and through several publications, Bonefish Grill coupons represent a number of discounts and savings opportunities.
Bonefish Grill runs a steady rotation of specials for both food and wine that help to lower cost for customers interested in the offer. The specials for dinner will generally include a cut rate on one or more appetizers, entrees and desserts. The wine selection will provide specials adequate for oenophiles of all taste. There are not many links on the company's main website offering printable coupons for use at the point of sale, though several other outlets for restaurant coupons regularly promote offers for Bonefish Grill coupons. Websites known for their abundance of offers for discounted meals, such as www.8coupons.com, www.urbanspoon.com and www.merchantcircle.com, will have links to coupons for Bonefish Grill or printable coupons on at the URL.
One of the most effective ways to procure coupons for Bonefish Grill is through local publications. Newspapers, entertainment guides, night life magazines and city pamphlets will often carry advertisements for restaurants in the region. Advertisements in any major publication will generally carry a removable coupon to be taken to the restaurant. As Bonefish has grown into different regions of the country, coupons for discounted meals and promotions have become more prevalent in mainstream periodicals. Magazines that cater to dining and seafood are also popular resources for Bonefish Grill coupons.
The advantages offered b y Bonefish Grill coupons are varied, rarely representing a dish and sometimes valid only during certain days. Coupons offering discounted dinners, for example, may be 25% off any bill over $50 when used between Monday and Thursday. The bar at Bonefish Grill is a popular destination for many who frequent the restaurant, meaning that the franchise does not experience many of the lulls seen at dinner-only establishments. Drink specials are not discounted through the use of coupons, but come at a lower cost depending on the time of day and type of beverage.
In addition to rotating specials and offers, Bonefish Grill occasionally offers contests and sweepstakes. The daily prizes and grand prizes affiliated with most franchise promotions will be rewards of internal nature. Gift certificate for use at Bonefish Grill, grand prize dinners for large parties and free appetizers are commonly handed out as rewards for winners. Most of the promotional campaigns run as sweepstakes give patrons an increased chance of winning, or additional entries, if the refer others to the offer.
Employees of most major corporations may have employee discount programs through which they get promotional discounts or offers related to their business partners. Websites such as www.abenity.com, which handles employee discounts and benefits for many Fortune 500 companies, will list offers available to employees of a specific corporation. One popular hub for offers listed on www.abenity.com is www.restaurants.com, which offers gift certificates at discounted rates. It is not unrealistic to print off a $25 gift certificate for less than $10 if a company is partnered with www.restaurant.com or Bonefish Grill. The discounted gift certificates offered on-line are usually of a first come, first serve variety, so frequent visitors to the site have the best chance of procuring such an offer.

Why Chael Sonnen has NO CHANCE against Jon Jones.
Chael Sonnen has no chance to win the Light Heavyweight title against Jon Jones. Reason: he is a one trick pony, and his one trick named wrestling won't work on Jon Jones. Jones has never been taken down in his whole career. Okay, Sonnen is probably the best takedown artist in the UFC, BUT: so what? Sonnen got submitted on the ground a billion times, once at lightheavyweight by Forrest Griffin. Jones has a good ground game, so even IF Sonnen takes him down once, he is not gonna finish the fight. Sonnen's ground and pound game is not good enough because he is not a hard puncher.
Jon Jones is a MUCH BIGGER guy than Sonnen, has a sick reach and he can stop the takedowns. And here is the worst case scenario for Jon Jones: Sonnen takes him down once. So maybe Sonnen lays on top of Jones for that whole round and wins it (if he doesn't get submitted on the ground), but he won't be able to take him down twice. Not gonna happen. What I mean by that is Sonnen only wins one round IF he is able to take Jones down. And I VERY HIGHLY doubt he will take him down.
Jon Jones will win this fight and in my opinion Sonnen should be something like a 10:1 underdog.

If this fight were made people wouldn't order it because of their expectations of the actual fight, they'd order it because there is no one in MMA that can hype a fight like Sonnen. Say what you want about his skills but Sonnen is head and shoulders above everyone in MMA when it comes to getting people emotionally invested in a fight, and personally I believe it's because he's a wrestling fan and learned from the best.

Well I don't order any main events because he's in them, it depends on his opponent. Against Silva, yeah, I would've watched live, but not this farce.

Agreed it makes more sense giving belfort a shot with a full camp nevertheless short notice which they did. Atleast Belfort was relevant at 205 before nd he could possibly KO or sub jones. Chael has NO Chance.
Chael only went to 185 because he wasn't even good enough to be a journeyman at 205. He may have gotten better at striking and grappling but not much. Size with his wrestling helped him at 185.
People say well Okami was good and big grappler but even rich franklin said okami is overrated in strength. and Franklin is a journeyman LHW but great middleweight too.
Like i said in the other thread chael wouldnt be able to even dominate Wlad, Hamil, Rampage or Rashad. They would stuff and dominate him because at the end of the day if he can't take you down he won't beat you. All of them can stuff him. So what hell charge jones. Wants Jones stuffs him and he eats elbows and kicks to the knees hell slow real quick. Jones will either stop with him brutal strikes against the cage or ragdoll his extremely undersized ass to the floor and GNP TKo or tap IN THE FIRST!
Shogun nd rampage all have better chins and tougher BJJ defense and they all got finished.
Your fooling yourself if youvthink chael has a better chance then Vitor and belfort only had a monthto prepare and almost tapped him.

I loved this little oil-rubbed bronze birdbath. When I was cleaning out the garden this spring and getting everything ready I filled it up only to find that its bottom was completely broken out and there was no way to fix it.
Instead of throwing it away I decided to create a mini succulent garden out of it. Now I've decided I think I like it better as a little succulent garden than I did as a birdbath! It's adds a fun focal point in this little spot in the garden.
I used a bit of potting soil in the bottom…being sure to mound it so extra water would run off and the succulents wouldn't drown. {They don't need a lot of water.}
Then, I planted tiny succulent plants in the mound and covered it with small pebbles.
The pebbles will keep the rain from washing the soil away or shifting.
I'm loving what it adds to this little spot in the garden. It used to be full of indigo…..that for some reason has died out and left this area bare and open.
I love to plant flowers and plants in unexpected containers. Here's some other fun ideas of things we used as planters around here.
What is something that you have repurposed and found a fun, new use for?
Sharing this in these lovely locations……

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in El Batan, Mexico has hosted seventeen high school interns since 1998.
Established in 1943, CIMMYT is a non-profit research and training center that works to sustainably increase the productivity of maize and wheat systems to ensure global food security and reduce poverty by bringing together public research and extension organizations, private companies, advanced research institutes, NGOs, and farmer associations in countries worldwide.
The CIMMYT carries out research and development in plant breeding; genetic resources; sustainable production; and socioeconomics.
Headquartered in El Batan, outside of Mexico City, CIMMYT has research centers in thirteen countries.
Interns at CIMMYT work alongside renowned international researchers and experts - like Dr. Petr Kosina, Dr. Allessandro Pelligrineschi, and Dr. Roberto LaRovere - in the fields of Mezquital Valley, the village of Agua Fria, and in CIMMYT's research labs in El Batan. Some of them have had the opportunity to interact with the 2000 World Food Prize Laureate Dr. Evangelina Villegas and 1970 Nobel Peace Prize Winner and World Food Prize Founder Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, before his passing in 2009.
The students have the opportunity to travel around Mexico with their host families and colleagues to see the Historic Center, the "floating gardens" of Xochimilico, Castle of Chapultepec, Fine Arts Palace, shrines for Our Lady Guadalupa, the Cathedral Metropolitana, and the National Palace.

A man charged with killing an 18-year-old college student learned Thursday that his trial is being delayed.
Gregory O'Bryan is charged with the 2010 murder of Andrew Compton.
His trial was scheduled to start in November, but on Thursday, the judge moved the start date to next July.
In a taped police interview, O'Bryan admitted to putting Compton's body in a Dumpster after he said the Sullivan university student died during sex.

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - Jefferson County Schools has teamed up with Grafton Integrated Health Network to better serve students in Jefferson County who are affected by autism spectrum disorders.
The partnership started taking shape over the summer, when Kristen Martin, principal at T.A. Lowery Elementary School, began to work with the Jefferson County public school system. By the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, students with behavioral problems related to autism were able to receive the attention and help they needed in a special classroom staffed by T.A. Lowery teachers and a behavioral analyst from Grafton.
Grafton provides support for individuals with a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems. There are programs available for children, adolescents and adults including residential psychiatric treatment, short-term stabilization, educational services and outpatient treatments.

Robbie Johnson, the teacher in T. A. Lowery Elementary School's Grafton classroom, and aide Jennifer Peck discuss the day's lesson plan. Johnson and Peck, along with behavior analyst Sarah Hafer, help students overcome their disabilities and engage in activities with their peers.
In the past, students who had difficulty functioning in a general classroom setting and needed the type of help Grafton provides would generally leave the public school system and go to private schools at Grafton centers. Students from Jefferson County could be bused as far away as Berryville, Va., or Winchester, Va.
"The nice thing for our students at T.A. and other students that are in Jefferson County schools is that if students maybe needed some extra support, one of the options would be to go to Grafton and attend school at Grafton," Martin said. "The difference is Grafton is here and their classroom is housed at T.A. Lowery, so there's no interruption with busing or the school day for the students and the parents."
The Grafton program at T.A. Lowery currently serves four students. A similar partnership with Grafton is in place at Charles Town Middle School.
"Not only do we have a special education-trained teacher and and aide, but we have a board-certified behavioral analyst 10 hours a week," said Kim Sanders, executive vice president and chief outcomes officer for Grafton. "The people we have placed in these public schools have had years of experience working at Grafton, so they have experience working with some of the most challenging students. Aside from their college education, they have real-life experience working with tough kids."
The goal of the partnership is not to isolate Grafton students and staff from the rest of the T.A. Lowery community, but to integrate the two as much as possible.
"It really is the Grafton program located here," said Chuck Hampton, director of pupil services for JCPS. "They have their own administrator, behavioral specialist and staff, but they've done a great job of being part of the school."
The students in the Grafton classroom eat lunch in the cafeteria with their peers, attend physical education classes and take part in school programs like assemblies and Relay For Life. Older students in the general education program, usually from the first grade, regularly interact with Grafton students and come into their classroom to read stories.
In addition to providing students with a sense of belonging, bringing the Grafton program into the public schools benefits parents.
"It's a big positive impact on the family because I totally get that when a family is in a place like Jefferson County and your child has to be bused to Grafton, not only do they have to be bused a long way, but you lose out on being a member of the school community as a mom or a dad. We want to go to the plays, we want to be part of the activities that are going on with our child's school," Sanders said.
In the Grafton classroom at T.A. Lowery, teacher Robbie Johnson and aide Jennifer Peck work closely with a small group of students. Johnson admits it can be a challenge working with students who have special needs.
"We have students here with disabilities, and some of the behaviors they present are pretty challenging so they can be pretty severe at times and pretty frequent. We can spend a good part of the day dealing with those behaviors, and you wouldn't see that in most public school classrooms," Johnson said.
One of the techniques used in the Grafton classroom is applied behavioral analysis, or ABA. The principles of ABA are based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy can help increase constructive or desired behaviors and can be used to discourage behaviors that are harmful or interfere with learning.
Johnson said in addition to ABA, students in his class receive one-on-one instruction and a good deal of encouragement from him and Peck.
"Seeing the success that we've experienced thus far, seeing where we were in August to now, in the middle of December, we're seeing a lot of positive changes," Johnson said. "They're eating lunch and breakfast with the rest of their peers in the cafeteria and they're being integrated into other activities at school. Just seeing those successes, big and small, over the past couple of months has been really rewarding."

Lifetime prediction for power electronics module substrate mount-down solder interconnect
Lu, Hua, Tilford, Tim, Bailey, Christopher and Newcombe, David (2007) Lifetime prediction for power electronics module substrate mount-down solder interconnect. HDP'07: Proceedings Of The 2007 International Symposium On High Density Packaging And Microsystem Integration. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, pp. 40-45. ISBN 9781424412525 (doi:10.1109/HDP.2007.4283558)Full text not available from this repository.
A numerical modeling method for the prediction of the lifetime of solder joints of relatively large solder area under cyclic thermal-mechanical loading conditions has been developed. The method is based on the Miner's linear damage accumulation rule and the properties of the accumulated plastic strain in front of the crack in large area solder joint. The nonlinear distribution of the damage indicator in the solder joints have been taken into account. The method has been used to calculate the lifetime of the solder interconnect in a power module under mixed cyclic loading conditions found in railway traction control applications. The results show that the solder thickness is a parameter that has a strong influence on the damage and therefore the lifetime of the solder joint while the substrate width and the thickness of the baseplate are much less important for the lifetime

Detroit's Historic Rogell Golf Course Has New Owner
The year was 1914. The leading citizens of Detroit's Jewish community, including Max Fisher, opened the Phoenix Golf Club, later to become the Rogell Golf Course. Now its new owners, the Greater Grace Temple, have preserved a special piece of the city's history as well as a local gem.
"This purchase is very significant in that we have become the only African-American-owned and -operated golf course in the entire state," said Greater Grace Temple Pastor, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III. "This course and club have a rich legacy dating back to 1914 and that includes the likes of such prominent men as Donald Ross and Max Fisher. We are excited to continue the revitalization of this northwest corner of Detroit with this $2-million investment."
The "new" Rogell Golf Course is now one of only six African-American-owned courses in the United States. Designed by famed architect Donald Ross, the 18-hole course has been opened for 11 weeks and has already stirred excitement among Detroit-area golfers, who appreciate its challenging design. Players will find plenty of excitement with its rolling hills and the Rouge River that enters play on the back nine.
The church, which purchased the course from the City of Detroit for $2.1 million, will be making various upgrades to the facility in hopes of increasing play levels. Green fees range from $20 on weekdays to $25 weekends. For information or tee times, call 313/255-4653.
