At Paddy's Bar & Grill in downtown Portland, you can get it neat, on the rocks or mixed into an array of cocktails. You'll find plenty flowing this weekend with a three-day party celebrating all things Irish.
"We've really ramped up our focus on whiskey," says co-owner Josh Johnston. "We already have the largest spirits collection in the state of Oregon with over 600 bottles on our back bar wall, most of which are scotch and bourbon. Our hope is to add to our collection this year with a bunch of rare stuff that's coming available."
Paddy's wall of liquor offers refuge to the thirsty who might go to an Irish bar on St. Patrick's expecting to be restricted to Guinness, Black and Tans and that aforementioned colored beer, which Johnston laments can leave patrons with green teeth and digestive turmoil.
Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub, downtown Portland's other big Irish bar, is also planning a three-day bash. And like Paddy's, Kells aims to put its whiskey to good use in the mixing tin.
"Irish people and Ireland are not known for cocktails," says co-owner Lucille McAleese. "They mostly drink beer and whiskey, but we've had to adapt. We have a couple of drinks that feature Irish whiskey, including an Irish Manhattan that's a knockout."
This weekend, Kells' sister brew pub in Northwest Portland will also feature a drink called the Devil and the Black Irish Rose, created for St. Patrick's Day by Patrick Bernards, co-founder of Portland's Bull Run Distilling Co. The cocktail includes the company's Temperance Trader Bourbon and Irish stout, rounded out with a bit of lemon juice, Campari, simple syrup and bitters.
Kells' St. Patrick's festival kicks off Friday night with entertainment at the Old Town pub on Southwest Second Avenue and its nearby festival tent, as well as at the chain's brew pub on Northwest 21st Avenue. The weekend brings pipers, dancing and live music.
A day to be Irish
St. Patrick's is one of the year's biggest days for bars, so expect every Irish pub in the area -- such as County Cork Public House on Northeast Fremont Street and Biddy McGraw's Irish Pub on Northeast Glisan Street -- to be packed.
The Dublin Pub on Southwest Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway promises a full day of live music starting at noon.
Of course, you'll find counterprogramming, too. At Hale Pele on Northeast Broadway, owner Blair Reynolds jokes that the tiki spot "may just be your one and only refuge from what the bartending community lovingly calls 'amateur night.'" But they're sorta getting into the spirit anyway, with green Wray & Grapefruit Sodas and the Belfast Sour, an Irish whiskey twist on Trader Vic's classic London Sour.
Start with the Game Changer, which is similar to a Dark N' Stormy -- Jameson topped off with ginger ale and accented with fresh lime.
"This simple combination was created by the Paddy's owners on a trip to Ireland when they needed a change-up from all the Guinness they were drinking," says Johnston, the 39-year-old co-owner, who loves all things Celtic, especially a chance to break out his kilt.
Johnston lived and played rugby in Ireland, so a pint of Guinness and the sweet sounds of pipers take him back. He and his business partner, Jim Hall, own three other Portland bars: North 45 Pub in the Northwest District; Circa 33 in Southeast Portland; and The Station in the Northeast.
Moving on to our second drink, the Buena Vista is inspired by the bar in San Francisco that dreamed up Irish Coffee. Paddy's starts with a heated tulip glass, adds a sugar cube and Jameson, then finishes with coffee and whipped cream. The bar also has its own claim to Irish Coffee history. It's the Guinness World Record holder for the largest such beverage -- created on St. Patrick's Day three years ago: 159 gallons total, using 94 bottles of Jameson.
If you want to start early, try the Irish Breakfast Shot, which comes in two shot glasses: one with Irish whiskey and butterscotch schnapps, followed by one with fresh-squeezed orange juice. "This bizarre combination tastes like pancakes and maple syrup," Johnston says.
Paddy's will be open early enough St. Patrick's weekend to make drinking your breakfast a real possibility, but take it easy if you want to drink some of your dinner, too. It's a long lineup of festivities, starting Friday evening, then kicking into high gear Saturday morning. Corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie and Guinness stew are some of the Irish classics you can fill up on.
"We have two full days of Irish entertainment, food and drink, including Irish dancers, bagpipe bands and live Irish music by some of the region's best," Johnston says. "Our hopes are to pack the house, throw a great party and raise a ton of money for our event partner, Children's Cancer Association. And to have a bit of fun ourselves!"
With more than 600 bottles of liquor on the wall, no doubt they will.
with Josh Johnston, co-owner of Paddy's Bar & Grill
What's your favorite drink and why?
A pint of Guinness. Everything about it is an experience. Fro the glassware, to the unique pour, to the taste. There's some nostalgia there for me being a former Irish resident and to top it all off, it's deceptively low in calories!
What's your favorite thing to snack on while you enjoy a cocktail?
At Paddy's, I'd say our corned beef sliders.
If someone wanted a drink not on your menu, what would you recommend?
I always offer a nice Single Malt Scotch served neat.
What's your go-to drink when you're somewhere you don't trust the bartender?
Game Changer – Jameson, Ginger with a lime
What do you love/hate about Portland's bar scene?
I love the passion that this city puts into its food and drink craft. You really appreciate what you have when you travel to other cities and look at the quality of the offerings. However, It also seems that everywhere in Portland is starting to look the same. Reclaimed wood, chalkboards, mixologists, etc. I think we're due for a new trend.
What tip would you offer for the home bartender?
Invest in a good shaker tin. Use fresh juices. Simple is better. Good whiskeys don't need anything other than a willing consumer.
What drink order has stumped you?
Usually any of the new shots ordered by younger customers. If I have to ask, "What color is it?" then we're in trouble.
What/where do you like to drink around town?
I like the VQ, Higgins, EaT: An Oyster Bar and Prost on a sunny day.
What's your bartending philosophy?
Always shake your customers hand and say hi. The bar wouldn't exist without the customers, so take care of them.
We're looking for spring drinks, especially ones with some kind of floral element (think floral liqueurs, edible flowers or even orange flower water). And, with Cinco de Mayo coming up, we're looking for memorable margaritas. Email email@example.com with your drinks.

Product DescriptionInitially known only as the Colt Automatic Target Pistol, the Woodsman was a unique sporting pistol based on a design by John Browning. Earlier firearms in this line did not come stamped with the Woodsman name and are therefore referred to as Pre-Woodsman pistols. The first series Woodsman can be easily recognized by its distinctive profile, which resembles the German Luger in the rakish grip angle. The medium barrel Woodsman has a small step down and then tapers to .525 of an inch at the muzzle. This first model Pre-Woodsman features pencil barrel, a blade front sight with a rear notch, wooden grips, and a 10-round magazine. Its wood and metal are in good condition and its bore is in very good condition.

2012 was a rollercoaster for businesses. Many companies have seen complete recoveries from the recent recession, while others are still struggling to be back to where they were a few years ago. Each week, Wall Street pundits told us the economy was recovered, and the next day they told us the world was ending and that the fiscal cliff was the end of life as we knew it. The misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar came and went, and no less than 3 predicted apocalypses never saw the light of day. Unfortunately, the reality of hurricane Sandy came and devastated homes and businesses. Other natural disasters and political instability disrupted supply chains and people's lives globally. But, we've seen resilience from individuals and companies alike.
For some of us in the business world, 2012 yielded unbelievable growth, and we hope the trend continues! I'd like to take a moment to reflect on some of our highlights:
- January 2013 marks our fifth birthday!
- The end of 2012 marked our 1,938th post!
- We experienced the 5th consecutive year of double digit percentage growth.
- 2012 marked our largest employee growth year ever
- 2012 marked our largest client growth year ever
- 2012 had our highest amount of guest speaking events of our staff members
- 2012 marked our 20th year anniversary (see the video here)
- See our strategic sourcing infographic highlights!
Thank you for helping us become who we are today!
2012 was a stellar year for us here, and we hope it was for you as well. Either way, we hope that 2013 will be healthy and prosperous for all of our readers and Source One's customers.

The World Until Yesterday : What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?
You save US$24.19
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday in evolutionary time when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions. "The World Until Yesterday" provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years a past that has mostly vanished and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today.This is Jared Diamond s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn t romanticize traditional societies after all, we are shocked by some of their practices but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. A characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining book, "The World Until Yesterday" will be essential and delightful reading."show more

About Jared M Diamond
Jared Diamond is a professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. He began his scientific career in physiology and expanded into evolutionary biology and biogeography. Among his many awards are the National Medal of Science, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, Japan s Cosmos Prize, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, and the Lewis Thomas Prize honoring the Scientist as Poet, presented by The Rockefeller University. His previous books include "Why Is Sex Fun?," "The Third Chimpanzee," "Collapse," "The World Until Yesterday, " and "Guns, Germs, and Steel," winner of the Pulitzer Prize."show more
Review quote
Challenging and smart By focusing his infectious intellect and incredible experience on nine broad areas -- peace and war, young and old, danger and response, religion, language and health -- and sifting through thousands of years of customs across 39 traditional societies, Diamond shows us many features of the past that we would be wise to adopt. --Minneapolis Star Tribune The World Until Yesterday [is] a fascinating and valuable look at what the rest of us have to learn from and perhaps offer to our more traditional kin. --Christian Science Monitor Ambitious and erudite, drawing on Diamond's seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of fields such as anthropology, sociology, linguistics, physiology, nutrition and evolutionary biology. Diamond is a Renaissance man, a serious scholar and an audacious generalist, with a gift for synthesizing data and theories. --The Chicago Tribune The World Until Yesterday is another eye-opening and completely enchanting book by one of our major intellectual forces, as a writer, a thinker, a scientist, a human being. It's a rare treasure, both as an illuminating personal memoir and an engrossing look into the heart of traditional societies and the timely lessons they can offer us. Its unique spell is irresistible. --Diane Ackerman, author of The Zookeeper's Wife As always, Diamond manages to combine a daring breadth of scope, rigorous technical detail and personal anecdotes that are often quite moving. --The Cleveland Plain Dealer Diamond s investigation of a selection of traditional societies, and within them a selection of how they contend with various issues[ ]is leisurely but not complacent, informed but not claiming omniscience[ ]A symphonic yet unromantic portrait of traditional societies and the often stirring lessons they offer. --Kirkus, Starred Review This is the most personal of Diamond's books, a natural follow-up to his brilliant Guns, Germs, and Steel. Diamond has very extensive and long-term field experience with New Guineans, and stories of these admirable people enrich his overview of how all human beings acted until very recently. Not only are his accounts fascinating, they will ring true to all who have experience with hunter-gatherer cultures. And they carry many lessons for modern societies as well on everything from child-rearing to general health. The World Until Yesterday is a triumph. --Paul R. Ehrlich, author of Human Natures. In this fascinating book, Diamond brings fresh perspective to historic and contemporary ways of life with an eye toward those that are likely to enhance our future. Booklist Lyrical and harrowing, this survey of traditional societies reveals the surprising truth that modern life is a mere snippet in the long narrative of human endeavor[ ]This book provides a lifetime of distilled experience but offers no simple lessons. Publishers Weekly Jared Diamond has done it again. Surveying a great range of anthropological literature and integrating it with vivid accounts of a lifetime of visits sometimes harrowing, more often exhilarating to highland New Guinea, he holds up a needed mirror to our culture and civilization. The reflection is not always flattering, but it is always worth looking at with an honest, intelligent eye. Diamond does that and more. --Melvin Konner, author of The Tangled Wing and The Evolution of Childhood An incredible insightful journey into the knowledge and experiences of peoples in traditional societies. Diamond s literary adventure reflects on the problems of today in light of his exhaustive literature review and 40 plus years of living with rural New Guinean peoples. --Barry Hewlett, author of Intimate Fathers (with Michael Lamb) In the 19th century Charles Darwin's trilogy On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals changed forever our understanding of our nature and our history. A century from now scholars will make a similar assessment of Jared Diamond's trilogy: Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, and now The World Until Yesterday, his magnificent concluding opus on not only our nature and our history, but our destiny as a species. Jared Diamond is the Charles Darwin of our generation, and The World Until Yesterday is an epoch-changing work that offers us hope through real-life solutions to our most pressing problems. --Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine, monthly columnist for Scientific American, author of The Believing Brain and Why Darwin Matters Praise for The World Until Yesterday "Extraordinary in erudition and originality, compelling in [its] ability to relate the digitized pandemonium of the present to the hushed agrarian sunrises of the past." The New York Times Book Review "Diamond's most influential gift may be his ability to write about geopolitical and environmental systems in ways that don't just educate and provoke, but entertain." The Seattle Times "Extremely persuasive...replete with fascinating stories, a treasure trove of historical anecdotes [and] haunting statistics." The Boston Globe "Essential reading..."Collapse" [shows] that resilient societies are nimble ones, capable of a long-term planning and of abandoning deeply entrenched but ultimately destructive core values and beliefs." Nature "There are hopeful messages in "Collapse." With Diamond's help, maybe we'll learn to see our problems a little more clearly before we chop down that last palm tree." Time "Extraordinarily panoramic...Diamond's complex historical web of how human communities either master their environment or become victims of them...takes a lifetime of research and, in normal English, leads the reader painstakingly where the media and intellectual journals have often refused to go." The Washington Post "Rendering complex history and science into entertaining prose, Diamond reminds us that those who ignore history are bound to repeat it." People (four stars) "Taken together, "Guns, Germs and Steel" and "Collapse" represent one of the most significant projects embarked upon by any intellectual in our generation. They are magnificent books...I read both thinking what literature might be like if every author knew so much, wrote so clearly and formed arguments with such care." The New York Times "Read this book. It will challenge you and make you think." Scientific American Praise for "Collapse"A "New York Times" bestseller "A magisterial effort packed with insight and written with clarity and enthusiasm. It's also the deal of the year--the equivalent of a year's college course by an engaging, brilliant professor, all for the price of a book. BusinessWeek"show more

Moluccan Cockatoo
Cacatua moluccensis
FAMILY: Cacatuidae
GENUS: Cacatua
SPECIES: moluccensis
Common Name(s): Moluccan cockatoo, Salmon-crested cockatoo, Pink-crested Cockatoo, Rose-crested Cockatoo (English); Molukken Kakatoe, Zalmkuif Kakatoe (Dutch); Molukkenkkadu, Rothaubenkakadu (German); Cacatoès des Moluques (French); Cacatúa De Las Molucas (Spanish)
The Moluccan cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis, is one of the most striking members of the cockatoo family, both in appearance and intelligence. The most distinctive features of the Moluccan cockatoo, when compared to the other members of the same genus, are its large size and bright salmon-pink coloration of the head-crest feathers.
The Moluccan is the largest of the white cockatoos, with the female larger than the male on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened, revealing concealed bright red-orange plumes to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement or other 'emotional' displays). It has heavy, white powder-down on the feathers and is sexually dimorphic by iris coloration. As they get older the iris of the females' eyes will develop a brownish color, the males' eyes will remain black
It also has one of the louder calls in the parrot world and in captivity is a capable mimic.
At 19-20 inches (47.5-50), this is the largest of the white cockatoos, with the female generally being larger than the males. They weigh between 640-1025g - the average being 850 grams.
Approximately 47.5-50 cm (19-20 in.) Approximately 0.9 kg (2 lbs).
The Moluccan Cockatoo is endemic to Seram and surrounding islands, which are located in the Indonesian archipelago (island chain) also known as the Moluccas, Maluku or Spice Islands. Although it has been recorded from the islands of Ceram, Saparua, Haruku and Ambon, breeding populations are now found only on Seram, as development has destroyed breeding populations on the smaller islands
Its preferred habitat is lowland forest up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet). The highest population densities occur in primary forest, but the species is also found at lower density in secondary forest.
Moluccan cockatoos live in small, loose flocks of 20 or more birds. They are very gregarious and have one of the shrillest cries of all birds.
Wild Cockatoos are friendly and peaceful, although they are considered pests in coconut plantations for attacking young coconuts and chewing through tough outer layers to get to the soft pulp and milk.
Moluccan cockatoos can hold their food in one foot and break pieces off of it with the other foot.
The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are popular in the pet trade for their beauty and trainability (which makes them popular in trained bird shows). The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be one of the most demanding parrots to keep as a pet due to their high intelligence, large size, potential noise level, and need to chew. Moluccan cockatoos require a very large and very sturdy cage or aviary. They are highly social and as pets can be extremely cuddly, affectionate, and gentle birds. This can lead to problems if a young cockatoo is spoiled with a great deal of attention and cuddling when young and does not get the opportunity to learn to play with toys, forage, or otherwise entertain itself.
Moluccan cockatoos require a great deal of attention and activity to remain healthy and well-adjusted. Attention and training from human caregivers is important in keeping them occupied, as are chewable toys and foraging toys that require them to work for their food. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo may develop health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities. In addition, they tend to form close bonds with one person and may attack others in the household if they are not properly trained. They can develop severe emotional problems when separated from their mate (human or otherwise).
As a pet, this intelligent and complex parrot is emotionally very needy and not a bird for the faint hearted. The Moluccan Cockatoo is a very intelligent bird and their learning abilities can go beyond talking. They have been known to pick their cage locks, destroy property and manipulate their owners. On the other hand, they can develop an extensive vocabulary, mimic noises around them and sing a variety of songs.
The breeding season for this bird begins in July and August. The normal clutch size for Moluccan cockatoos is most commonly two eggs; occasionally a single egg or rarely three can be laid in a clutch.
The eggs are completely white in coloration, and measurements average 45.4 millimeters by 33.7 millimeters (1.8 inches by 1.3 inches). Both parents take part in incubating the eggs.
Newly hatched Moluccan cockatoo chicks commonly weigh between 14-20 grams (0.49-0.7 ounces). A yellow primary natal down is present over the body at hatching, but often disappears from abrasion after a few days. Under the care of their parents, the chicks will normally begin to leave the nest at 14 weeks of age.
The diet in the wild consists mainly of seeds, nuts, young coconuts, seeds, berries, and insects and their larvae.
Moluccan cockatoos reach sexual maturity at 5-6 years. They have an average life span of 65 or more years
The oldest recorded Moluccan Cockatoo was stated to be 80 years at London Zoo, 85 years at San Diego Zoo, and 125 years (private owner in England).
The Moluccan Cockatoo is an endangered species, and has been listed on appendix I of CITES since 1989, which makes trade in wild-caught birds illegal. Trade in captive bred birds is legal only with appropriate CITES certification. Numbers have declined due to habitat loss and illegal trapping for the cage-bird trade. During the height of the trapping of this species over 6,000 birds were being removed from the wild per year. It has a stronghold in Manusela National Park on Seram, although even today some illegal trapping continues. Surprisingly the species is not well-protected within Indonesia where a local trade continues to supply the internal pet market.
This bird is endemic to Seram, Ambon, Saparua and Haruku in South Maluku, Indonesia, but there are no recent records from Saparua and Haruku, and it may only survive at one locality on Ambon, leaving almost the entire population on Seram, where it was once abundant, but has suffered declines, including an estimated 20-40% in one region during the 1990s. It remains locally common in Manusela National Park and, perhaps especially, in east Seram.
By the 1980s the species was being extensively and unsustainably trapped for the cage-bird market, with an estimated 74,509 individuals exported from Indonesia between 1981 and 1990, and international imports averaging 9,751 per annum between 1983 and 1988. Although reported international trade fell to zero in the 1990s, trappers remain highly active and birds are openly sold within Indonesia. Forest loss, degradation and fragmentation owing to commercial timber extraction, settlement and hydroelectric projects, poses the other major threat. It is predicted that half the current population on Seram may be lost to conversion of forest in the next 25 years1. Most forest has already been lost from Ambon and the coasts and lowlands of Seram. It has also been considered a harmful pest to coconut palms, and, historically at least, was consequently persecuted.

Coach: Krissy Lotycz, second season.
Returning letterwinners: Seniors Courtney Burns (MH/Setter); Kassie Shaver (OH); Kassie Welly (Lib.). Juniors Shelbi Sauber (Setter/OH). Sophomore Tiana Opp (OH).

Others: Freshmen Brooklyn Arbogast (MH); Alexis Feindel (OH); Baleigh Searles (DS); Michelle Welly (DS).
Outlook: A good deal of Hopewell-Loudon's success this season will likely depend on the development of the team's freshmen. Four freshmen are likely to see significant varsity time, but Lotycz feels there is a lot of talent in the group.
"I think freshman-wise, they'll add a lot of talent for us," she said. "A lot of the freshmen played club volleyball and there is a lot of athleticism in that class.
"There will be times the inexperience will show, they'll have their fair share of freshmen mistakes. Our upperclassmen will have to be patient working with them, getting up to the level expected on varsity. So far they've been doing a great job taking them under their wing."
One senior that will be relied upon heavily is Burns, who returns after being among the MAL leaders a year ago with 241 kills.
"She's going to determine our success based on her performance and motivation out of the middle," Lotycz said. "She will contribute so much for us offensively and defensively. She's been willing to step up to the challenge and accept her role to carry us and get us to where we want to be."
Burns is also going be looked at to handle a lot of the setting duties as well.
"Courtney has amazing hands, she can put the ball right on the money," Lotycz said. "She's smart enough to read the floor and knows when to mix it up. She likes to take control; she's willing to step up and take control and be the quarterback of the team. She's so versatile and so athletic. She's able to play defense and she's able to set the ball."
Shaver contributed 133 kills for the Chieftains last year and Lotycz will be looking to her for more this season.
"She's growing to become an all-the-way-around player," Lotycz said. "As a hitter, and a full-time varsity member, she'll have a lot of weight on her shoulders."
Lotycz will also be looking for a lot of offense out of Sauber, whom she describes as being "very explosive. She can attack out of nowhere."
A lot of the defense at the net will led by Opp, from whom Lotycz is expecting big things.
"We'll look to her to shut down their No. 1 hitter and be our primary blocker on right side," Lotycz said. "She's developing her swing but she's got the ability where she can shut down people's offenses."

White Butter Sauce (Beurre Blanc)
Makes 11/2 cupsA white butter sauce (beurre blanc in French) is versatile and an amazingly delicious sauce with vegetables, seafood, poultry or meat. Its also a good substitute for hollandaise and bearnaise, both of which require eggs.
This sauce became popular in the South in the early 1970s but had been made in France for some time. While the thought of attempting to make a butter sauce can be daunting to some, its worth the attempt. Even a failed white butter sauce will taste scrumptious stirred into vegetables, rice or grains.
The main thing to remember when making this sauce is to be careful not to overheat it. While heat is needed to melt the cold butter, too much heat as in boiling will cause the sauce to break, or separate into oil and liquid. A little practice will make perfect, and finding the right pan and heat may take a few tries.
Even if the sauce breaks, it is usable and may even be saved.
A white butter sauce is great to have on hand and can be kept in the refrigerator or frozen. While its possible for the sauce to stay together in the refrigerator, it is less possible to stay together in the freezer. Fortunately, it is still usable. To use it frozen, or if the whole thing melts into a mess, toss hot vegetables or other ingredients into enough of the sauce to coat lightly; miraculously, they will gleam and are mouthwatering.
Nathalie DupreeIngredients2/3 cup fresh lemon juice or white wine
2 shallots, minced11/2 cups butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt; freshly ground black pepper
DirectionsCombine lemon juice or wine and shallots in a small to medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil until the liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons. If it is less than that, add water.
Turn heat to low and whisk in butter 1 piece at a time. If what looks like oil appears in the otherwise creamy yellow sauce, remove the pot from the heat and set it over ice, or add a little water or crushed ice to the sauce. Cooling it just a little might save the sauce from breaking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
If the sauce is too tart, add a little water, more butter or granulated sugar to correct.
Serve right away, or cover the top with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and leave at room temperature.
Many times it will reheat just topping the hot food. To reheat the sauce on the stove, add a little of the cold sauce to a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk sauce until it thickens, adding additional small portions of cold sauce to the pan, whisking continuously, until the entire sauce is reheated.
The addition of hot pepper jelly livens up a white butter sauce.

When 65-year-old Virginia Godinez of Avondale had a big toe amputated because of diabetes, her husband couldn't afford the medical supplies she needed after the operation.
The hospital referred them to Southwest Lending Closet, which lent them a walker, wheelchair and several other items for free for 90 days.
It was a relief for husband Jose Guadalupe-Godinez, 67, who says the couple have struggled to pay for Virginia's three surgeries.
Without the Avondale non-profit's help, "I would have had to rent or buy, since we didn't have insurance. We ran out of money, and we're in debt now."
Southwest Lending Closet has been expanding to meet the West Valley's growing need for medical equipment that can cost hundreds or thousand of dollars to rent, but is needed for only a short time. The 14-year-old non-profit needs donations of more equipment so it can help more people, officials say.
The number of Lending Closet clients continues to climb, according to its figures. In 2013, 4,796 people borrowed equipment. They saved $444,505, which is the cost to rent the equipment for 90 days, the non-profit says.
That's a nearly 32 percent rise since 2012, when 3,642 people saved $377,188. In 2011, 2,896 clients saved $285,451, according to Lending Closet figures.
To make room for more supplies, the organization moved in May 2012 from its 900-square-foot building in Historic Avondale to an 1,800-square-foot building at 218 N. Central Ave. in the same area.. Officials want to find a donor who can repave the building's crumbling parking lot.
"Our walls are bare. We are so busy," said Sharolyn Hohman, the new president of Lending Closet's board of directors.
Many insurance companies don't provide equipment, or it's a complicated process to get it, said Hohman, a Goodyear councilwoman who began volunteering at the Lending Closet in May.
"So the need for our services has grown exponentially," she added.
How it works
The non-profit lends medical equipment for 90 days to anyone in need, said Rose Schmidt, a volunteer spokeswoman for the organization. If a borrower needs equipment longer, a 30-day extension can be requested.
There are no restrictions or qualifications to borrow equipment; it doesn't matter where clients live or what their income is.
The Lending Closet's durable medical equipment for children and adults is used in the home to enhance quality of life. At last count, it had more than 1,308 items.
That includes wheelchairs, knee scooters (also called knee walkers), canes, bath-transfer benches, walkers, shower chairs, shower stools, elevated toilet seats and "companion chairs" — wheelchairs with smaller wheels that are pushed rather than propelled by the person using them.
The Lending Closet doesn't have beds or motorized equipment.
Some equipment is donated by people who no longer need it, some comes from other organizations. The Lending Closet also buys equipment with the cash donations it receives.
Most clients live in the five Southwest Valley cities that contribute money to the non-profit — Buckeye, Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson. A significant number of borrowers are from Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise and El Mirage.
Some come from as far away as Ajo, Gila Bend, Prescott, Safford and Yuma.
Occasionally, the Lending Closet has to turn people away when it runs out of equipment, such as wheelchairs and knee scooters, said Diane Landis, past president of the Lending Closet's board of directors.
Jane Bruzzese, senior director of programs for Benevilla, a non-profit human-services agency based in Surprise, said Benevilla refers clients to several West Valley groups that loan medical devices, including Southwest Lending Closet.
Most have certain criteria that must be met to borrow equipment. Agencies like Southwest Lending Closet fill an important need, she said.
"It certainly saves the consumer considerable money," Bruzzese said.
Donations needed
Southwest Lending Closet needs more donated equipment — especially wheelchairs, companion chairs and knee scooters — and volunteer time and money, Landis said.
While some people who borrow equipment leave cash donations, there is always more need.
"We could be open more hours if we had more equipment and volunteers," said Landis. "We have people with needs, but we're bare bones right now."
The Lending Closet has 65 volunteers, but could use at least 10 more, Schmidt said.
On a recent day, many of the shelves were depleted, though borrowers returned equipment all day long. By about 3 p.m., 12 wheelchairs and companion chairs had been returned as well as a knee scooter and other devices.
As the equipment returns, it is placed in a room for eight-year volunteer Ruben Garcia, 75, who sanitizes and repairs equipment.
Volunteers like Garcia worked a total of 4,094 hours in 2013.


text: Another method of time tracking in RedmineAnna_Loseva10/09/13 11:55amFiled to: redminetime trackingEditPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This article describes the problem that lots of people face while managing their projects and the solution we have found. This is a problem of time tracking and work hours forecasting for different tasks. Internally we manage several big projects at a time and all of them require proper attention. It often happens that the same employees are engaged in different projects. That's why it is very important to know the time required for completion of a particular task. In digital business this problem stands even more important because of the impossibility to predict "last-time" amendments by the client. Advertisement In our company we use Redmine project management system that meets almost all our requirements for work with projects. But it does have one essential lack. It is the fact that the time period required for the task completion is specified by the user himself that can sometimes give wrong information about the process. In order to optimize the work of the whole team we need the pre-estimated time of the task realization to coincide with the actual situation. By analyzing previous statistics we came to the conclusion that the possible difference between an estimation and time actually spent might be up to 30%. If this figure is exceeded there is a need to find a problem. That is why we developed a Redmine timer that works in real time mode. Redmine desktop client app is now available for free for all who register on our website. The interface is represented by the timer with the list of tasks and its main function is to measure the time recording. When you start to work on a task you have to launch the timer by double-clicking the selected task in the list. Synchronization with Redmine happens every minute that guarantees the recording to always keep up with the times. To connect the timer to your account in Redmine you have to enter your server URL and API key. The design is simple and convenient as it has only the most important functions: Advertisement Search by key words and projects Ability to add comments to the taskSpent time As one of the convenient features we should mention pop-ups that appear every time you're assigned to a new task. And if you forget to stop the timer the app will notice your absence and will ask you if the idle time is to be recorded to the task as well. To summarize all the above, we should say that this timer has allowed us to solve a lot of problems within the company, to see what our time is really spent for and to allocate resources among projects more efficiently.

Philosophical Issues in Tort Law
John Oberdiek
Rutgers Law School; Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - School of Law - Camden

Philosophy Compass, Vol. 3/4, pp. 734-748, 2008
The union of contemporary philosophy and tort law has never been better. Perhaps the most dynamic current in contemporary tort theory concerns the increasingly sophisticated inquires into the doctrinal elements of the law of torts, with the tort of negligence in particular garnering the most attention from theorists. In this article, I examine philosophically rich issues revolving around each of the elements constituting the tort of negligence: compensable injury, duty, breach, actual cause, and proximate cause.

Wednesday, December 4, 2013
Mount Pleasant Town Council Committees met Monday for the first time under new Mayor Linda Page.
A mini storage facility has been proposed to be added to the Belle Hall Planned Development. The 1.5 acre tract is located on Wando Park Boulevard and is being proposed as an additional conditional use.
It is located in front of Mount Pleasant Waterworks water tank. The plan is to construct a multistory building, not visible to any street or right of way.
The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval for the proposal. The Planning Committee heard the proposal and also recommended approval.
The committee also entertained a request to amend a land use classification from light industrial to residential on the Belle Hall Planned Development along Wando Park Boulevard to include four duplex units. In 2002 the town took the initiative to rezone the property to economic development.
The Planning Commission had concerns and recommended denial.
The applicant addressed the committee. Tommy Smith, president and owner of Novuce Architects, is owner of the property. The firm has been headquartered in Mount Pleasant for the past 24 years.
He said that adjacent properties would remain zoned economic development.
The lot is one acre and only half of that is usable when you deduct for wetlands and other buffers.
He suggested the usable area is relatively small in regard to economic development.
He said the property units are already sold to four friends looking to downsize.
A small point on the tip of the Wando River has been proposed to be open to the public.
He said there is no detrimental effect and he has not heard of any opposition. He said construction would commence in 2014 and enter that tax market in 2015. Smith said Novus Architects have created their own small construction company and this would be its first project.
Councilman Elton Carrier said three members of this committee sit on the Economic Development Committee and they have all agreed that they would not let go of any economic development zoned parcels because there are so few.
Smith countered that the property had been on the market for nine months with no interest.
Chris O'Neal asked what could possibly go on the site with half of it being wetlands. He said he struggled with the use when half is developable and the other half isn't. What could they attract or put there, he asked.
Committee Chairman Thomasena Stokes-Marshall has noticed that as the economy has turned, there has been an increase in requests for a change from economic parcels to residential zoning. Planning Director Christianne Farrell agreed.
Stokes-Marshall said it was important to look at the big picture when looking at the impacts, and the potential loss of economic development land. Looking to the future, there is a good possibility those properties would be developed for the purpose of economic development which would be a huge benefit for the town overall.
She said she was also concerned about the overall impact of Wando Park Boulevard and Longpoint Road with the additional of residential units. There is only one way in and one way out of this proposed development.
She said she could not support this request. Committee member Mark Smith, who says he is a strong proponent for property rights, said he would support the project.
The committee voted 2-2 to recommend the project to the full town council.
Councilman Elton Carrier, chairman of the Recreation Committee, introduced Jim Owens who requested to name the Park West Track after 9-year-old Peyton Moore, a young man who ran track, but recently passed away.
Peyton began working out with his father Noah not long after he started walking. He participated in many sports. Owens called him the epitome of a young man who took on anything he was faced with.
"He was the catalyst and the glue for his teammates, classmates and friends' parents," said Owens.
He said he saw this as a good opportunity for the town to reward good work.
Peyton loved life and the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department, his father said through tears. He said the entire facility has created a lot of memories for their family.
The committee voted unanimously to recommend this to the full council. Councilman Gary Santos was not present. Carrier called it a fitting tribute.
In other news
For a trial period in January, the Senior Center hours will change to 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, rather than 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Due to the increase in the number of members and member habits, the earlier hours will be more beneficial. Recreation Department Director Ken Ayoub said that very few people utilize the facility after 7 p.m. but prefer early morning hours instead.
Edwards Park Pump replacement will get underway soon. This is vital to removing storm water in that area.
The project will be awarded to Zillam for a cost of $169,730.72.
A construction contract has also been awarded for the Whitehall Community Center. Carolina Park Developers made funding available to the Whitehall Terrace Community. The town held the money in trust and purchased land to put the center on. More than $175,000 in community block grants has also been obtained to make the project possible.
Mitchell Construction Company will construct the facility for $500,000. Its bid came in over budget by $135,000. Additional funds will be needed to be approved by the full town council before the bid can actually be awarded. The contract was awarded contingent on the additional funding being made available in a budget adjustment ordinance.
Public Services
The SCE&G Tree-Trimming schedule for 2014 has been released. Over the years it has been a controversial issue and working closely with the town, they have tried to minimize the impact by minimizing the tree-cutting schedule from seven years to five years. There are many projects in which the lines are being buried underground. But for those lines still above ground, it is crucial that trees be trimmed.
Trimming will occur in the Old Village, along Rifle Range Road, Ben Sawer Boulevard and Chuck Dawley Boulevard during the first quarter of 2014. Trimming will not occur along the entire portion of any of these areas.
Ahead of trimming there will be notification to property owners in the zone through billing notices and individual letters. There will also be community engagement programs in which citizens can attend meetings complete with maps on a large scale so that they can ascertain if their street, home or business is affected. Attendees can talk one-on-one with an SCE&G forester and the tree company contracted with SCE&G to do the trimming.
There will also be a 1-800 customer service phone number during the tree trimming. An engagement meeting will be scheduled at Alhambra Hall in the near future.
Assets program
A capital improvement plan was put in place last year for the public services department. Stantech, a consultant hired to help with this plan, looked at every piece of infrastructure the department must service and maintain.
Funding for some of these projects has been made available this fiscal year, Jody Peele, director of Public Services said.
Asset Data Collection is essential before anything can begin. Peele said a program has been put in place so that work can be managed on the thousands of town assets.
Technology and equipment will also be made available in the field so the information can be obtained there. For example, an employee can see right away that the town owns 25 miles of open channels and drains. Staff can also see the life span, the age and types of pipes underground without turning a shovel of dirt.
Inventory will be revealed through the asset software program right down to sidewalk square foot, pavement markings signs and more.
Installation and inspection is critical, Peele explained. All information will be logged as new inventory goes in. Maintenance and replacement can be scheduled and documented along the way as well.
A list of projects that need to take place in 2014 represent a minute percentage of the work that needs to be done. More than $14 million will be needed to complete everything over the next 100 years in addition to added maintenance expenses.
In other news, natural gas was offered up as an alternative fuel option for fueling fleet vehicles. The town has always relied on gasoline, but there is price volatility and the supply is sometimes in question. Mount Pleasant Town Administrator Eric DeMoura said the town could be vulnerable. Long-term, natural gas is 30-40 percent cheaper and there is less maintenance costs associated with it, he said. This is an exploratory idea, but DeMoura sees the potential for natural gas to see be the primary source for fleet fuel.
An inter-agency fueling station is possible in the future, he said. This could be a joint venture between the town, the Ports Authority and Mount Pleasant Waterworks. South Carolina Electric and Gas would be a primary provider, DeMoura said.
This was for information only, but will be revisited as more information becomes available.

Celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday with $5 Dr. Seuss books (and toys) from Kohl's and free parties in Garland, Hurst and Plano
I love that Read Across America celebrates the joy of reading on Dr. Seuss' birthday — March 2. There are parties to attend all over the country — Simon Malls is hosting a Simon Kidgits Club Book Blast at Northeast Mall in Hurst March 2 (from 2 to 4 p.m.) and Firewheel Town Center in Garland March 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There'll be lots of book-based activities and more. I'll have more details on Firewheel's event (along with their Easter Egg hunt with more than 5,000 eggs, which will happen around the same time) in the March 22 Family Fun column in Guide. Plus, the Barnes & Noble at Creekwalk Village in Plano is hosting a Cat in the Hat Story Time March 8 at 7 p.m. where they'll read the book, do a scavenger hunt in the kids' section and make Cat in the Hat-inspired hats.
There are also lots of opportunities to donate children's books for others who can't afford them. Simon Kidgits will be collecting new and used for its own kids' library at Northeast Mall and to give away to the Galaxy Counseling Center at Firewheel. In the meantime, Dallas Children's Theater is continuing its book drive for Vickery Meadow Learning Center through Sunday (a donation will get you one free ticket to their upcoming production of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!).
If that puts you in the mood for book shopping, we think the timing is perfect to take advantage of Kohl's Cares line of $5 Dr. Seuss books and complementary $5 plush toys. They're offering The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book, Dr. Seuss' ABC's and Happy Birthday to You! through May 4. Best of all, 100% of the net profits go to children's health and education initiatives nationwide.

Does Local Business Ownership Insulate Cities from Economic Shocks?
Jed Kolko
Public Policy Institute of California
David Neumark
University of California, Irvine - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)
IZA Discussion Paper No. 4415
We assess a prominent argument for local economic policies that favor locally-owned businesses ヨ namely, that locally-owned firms are more likely to internalize the costs to the community of decisions to reduce employment and hence help to insulate cities from adverse economic shocks. We test this argument by examining how establishment-level employment responses to economic shocks are affected by establishment ownership. We find evidence hat some types of local ownership do insulate regions from economic shocks, although the clearest benefits do not come from small, independent businesses, but instead from corporate headquarters and, to a lesser extent, from small, locally-owned chains.

BEIRUT (AP) — A makeshift bomb dropped from a government helicopter killed at least six people, including two children, in a rebel-held area in northern Syria on Sunday, activists said.
President Bashar Assad's forces have used so-called barrel bombs to devastating effect against opposition areas in Syria. The crude weapons — barrels packed with explosives and scraps of metal and pushed out of helicopters — cannot be precisely targeted, and have caused widespread civilian casualties.
Assad's air force tends to use them to push out rebels from contested areas, but to also terrorize civilians and turn them against the fighters in their midst.
Saturday's air raid took place in the town of Sarmeen in the northwestern province of Idlib, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at six, but said that number was expected to rise. The Local Coordination Committees activist group and the pro-rebel Shahba Press Agency also reported the airstrike, but provided higher death tolls.
It's common to have conflicting death tolls in the immediate aftermath of bombings.
An amateur video posted online showing the aftermath of the attack, the crushed bodies of men and at least one child were visible amid twisted wreckage, splattered blood, and burning tires.
"Where is his head?" shrieked one man as they pulled a corpse from the wreckage.
The video appeared genuine and corresponded with AP reporting of the event.
Activists say the airstrike occurred during clashes in the area between rebels and pro-government forces.
Another airstrike Saturday hit the northern town of Marea, killing a widowed woman and her 7-year-old daughter, said a Marea-based activist who uses the name Abu al-Hassan. The woman's husband was killed in fighting two years ago, Marea said.
The couple's four-year-old son is now an orphan, he added.
Marea and other activists said government forces were stepping up their use of the crude bombs against rebel-held areas in rural parts of northern Syria.
Marea, and another activist who uses the name Abu Raed, said the stepped-up campaign began after rebels from an array of different Islamic groups began attacking government forces several weeks ago at several points around the northern city of Aleppo.
The attack has snubbed an advance by Assad forces toward rebel-held areas of eastern Aleppo.
While pro-Assad forces have been slowly wresting back opposition areas in other parts of Syria, rebels have a strong hold on positions along the northern border with Turkey because it is an easy conduit for fighters and weapons.
Syria's war, now entering its fourth year, has killed over 150,000 people, displaced more than six million and destroyed the country's social fabric and economy.

Nova Levante to Passo Costalunga to Moena
Approximately 25 miles with 2,100 feet of climbing
Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Bolzano Central Train Station (Piazza della Stazione, Bolzano) at 1:00 PM on the first day of the trip. From there, your guides will shuttle you to Nova Levante where, at the foot of these giant Italian mountains, your Trek Travel guides will discuss the rules of bike safety and specific tips for the Dolomites. They will spend time familiarizing you to your Trek Domane for the week, and ensure that you have a comfortable fit. You'll ride out of town with your cycling companions and quickly begin your first climb, heading east out of the Adige Valley and into the Eastern Dolomiti. Stop to see the colorful waters of Lago di Carezza in the forests approaching the summit. You'll ascend the Val d'Ega and reach 5751 feet at Passo Costalunga before a great descent into the Val di Fassa and the town of Moena. Enjoy a pre-dinner stroll through this mountain village, as the sun casts its golden light on the beautiful peaks above. This evening, you'll gather at the hotel and discuss the week ahead, before you savor the diversity of flavors from the Italian cucina to fuel up for tomorrow's adventures.
Moena to Marmolada Loop
Approximately 50 miles with 7,200 feet of climbing
After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you'll begin another day of spectacular riding by heading north through the ski village of Canazei where the climbing really begins. The climb? The formidable Passo Fedaia. You'll pedal in the shadows of Marmolada Glacier to the summit, to enjoy views of Lago di Fedaia. On the steep descent, the route shows off the great Monte Civetta and takes you through Alleghe—a picturesque lakeside community. Refuel at a bistro in Alleghe before the next climb! Take your pick of the charming cafes overlooking this azure alpine lake. Shortly after your break, it will be time to climb Passo San Pellegrino. Just under 6560 feet, the Passo has one particularly grueling section at the top. Once you've reached it, only the descent remains, and you'll reach the front door of the hotel in Moena without a pedal stroke. Tonight you'll choose a restaurant of your choice–perhaps a pizzeria or a trattoria will satisfy your craving for the evening?
Sella Ronda Loop
Approximately 62 miles with 7,900 feet of climbing
The Sella Loop will be one of the most memorable rides of your trip as you pedal in the shadows of the Sella Massif and its dramatic, sheer cliffs. The green pastures and beautiful fresh air will complement the vividness of the remarkable grey mountains. The four passes on the route are regular highlights in the Giro d'Italia. The first climb, Passo di Sella, is the more challenging climb, with the most elevation gain, but it also rewards you with an incredible view of the jagged peak of the Sassolungo. The next three passes – Gardena, Campolongo, and Pordoi – are still challenging, but as luck would have it, you don't start from the valley bottom for these climbs. Three of these four passes exceed 6800 feet and command amazing views across the range. You will enjoy a packed lunch on the summit of Passo Campolongo before the last ascent of the day, Pordoi. The ride finishes with a breathtaking downhill into the valley toward Moena to prepare you for your dinner among friends, back at the hotel.
Spondigna to Bormio via Passo Stelvio
Approximately 30 miles with 6,150 feet of climbing
A private morning shuttle takes you north toward the Austrian and Swiss borders. Along the way you'll see the gradual change in landscape and tempo from the serenity of the quaint mountains to the hustle and bustle of the meeting point between the Venosta and Adige Valleys. Once deep into the Venosta Valley, Mount Stelvio awaits, and the opportunity to climb up its "classic" side. With over 14 miles and 48 switchbacks you'll rise from 3100 to 9045 feet to conquer the highest road in the eastern Alps and one of the most beautiful passes imaginable, finishing with endless views into the mountains toward Switzerland from the summit. After a well-deserved lunch you descend to the town of Bormio, located in the Lombardy region of the Italian Alps. It's a famous ski resort that only recently opened as a cycling destination. Relax this evening and enjoy the excellent facilities of your picturesque hotel to enjoy a hearty traditional dinner before a restful and well-deserved sleep.
Bormio to Torre di Fraele Return
Approximately 18 miles with 4,000 feet of climbing
After stocking up on a plentiful mountain breakfast, you're invited to take your pick from a range of different activities. Enjoy an early morning climb up to the Torre di Fraele – where every switchback rewards you with better and better views of the town of Bormio and the stunning scenery of the surrounding Italian Alps. Enjoy the impressive views from the ruins of an ancient abandoned fortress at the summit before descending back to the hotel. This afternoon, relax in the hotel spa or maybe head into Bormio to do some shopping. Alternatively, take a revitalizing dip in the town's extensive thermal baths to rest your mind, body and soul in anticipation of tomorrow's epic double ascent of the infamous climbs of Mortirolo and Gavia.
Bormio to Passo Mortirolo & Passo Gavia Loop
Approximately 75 miles with 11,100 feet of climbing
Today is your chance to climb the Mortirolo and Gavia. It's a serious challenge after a long week of cycling that will make reaching the top that much sweeter. The route will first take you south and as you lose elevation, you'll have a chance to spin out your legs. Arriving at the base of the Mortirolo's classic side will inspire you to push yourself one more time. The narrow, winding road is incredibly steep in parts with an average grade of 10.5% – mercifully the climb is only 7.5 miles. Much of the road weaves through the forest with glimpses of the views below. Your guides will be close by to cheer you on and refill your water as you need it. However, one last climb remains for this trip—the Gavia. It's a long but steady climb, and we'll celebrate your successful ascent at the top. This will be your last mountaintop summit for the trip and it promises to be both invigorating and exhausting! You'll descend back to Bormio and wrap up this epic day – and the trip – with a cocktail at the hotel followed by a farewell dinner.

The police squad repeatedly swooped down on bodegas and smoke shops, saying they were searching for the small plastic bags often used to package drugs. But merchants complained that the officers made off with cash and merchandise after disabling security cameras to mask their conduct.
The actions of the Narcotics Field Unit - in one case graphically captured by a camera with a backup hard drive - triggered a major scandal in the city in 2009. The result was an FBI investigation of the officers, dropped charges against some defendants, and numerous federal civil right lawsuits filed by people who said they were abused or framed by the squad.

Military advisor
|This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Military advisors, or combat advisors, are soldiers sent to foreign nations[1] to aid that nation with its military training, organization, and other various military tasks. These soldiers are often sent to aid a nation without the potential casualties and political ramifications of actually mobilizing military forces to aid a nation.
European advisors during the American Revolution[edit]
The French Marquis de Lafayette and the German/Prussian Baron von Steuben offered key assistance to the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
US advisors in Vietnam[edit]
In the early 1960s, elements of the U.S. Army Special Forces and Echo 31 went to South Vietnam as military advisors to train and assist the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) for impending actions against the North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN). United States Marines also filled a significant role as advisors to Vietnamese forces.[2]
US advisors during the "War on Terror"[edit]
Combat advisors served on the front-lines of the U.S. War on Terror. They are designated as Embedded Training Teams (ETTS) in Afghanistan and Military Transition Teams (MTTs) in Iraq. These soldiers and Marines live with their Afghan and Iraqi counterparts (often in very austere and stoic conditions) in remote combat outposts often a great distance away from any U.S. or coalition support.
ETTs and MTTs are composed primarily of United States Marines, United States Army, and United States Army National Guard personnel with a combat-arms background. United States Air Force and United States Navy personnel serve as advisors in logistics and other support roles. The advisors on the ground in infantry or commando units of the ANA (Afghan National Army) or the Iraqi Army are soldiers or Marines with combat-arms experience. Special Forces and Navy SEALS also work with ANA/ASF or the Iraqi Army, but the bulk of combat advisors are infantry and combat-arms soldiers and Marines.
The Combat Advisor Mission Defined. The combat advisor mission requires US officers and NCOs to teach, coach and mentor host nation (HN) security force counterparts. This enables the rapid development of our counterparts' leadership capabilities; helps develop command and control (C2) and operational capabilities at every echelon; allows direct access to Coalition Forces (CF) enablers to enhance HN security force counterinsurgency (COIN) operations; and incorporates CF lethal and nonlethal effects on the battlefield.[3]

What I've Been Reading
To Improve the Academy James E. Groccia, Laura Cruz
Service Learning Faculty Development
The Service Learning Faculty Development Coordinator (SLFD Coordinator) provides leadership for developing service learning courses under the auspices of the Center for Teaching and Learning in Academic Affairs. The guiding principle of this position is to promote reciprocal benefit for OSU students and community partners, and to:
1) ensure equity and inclusion of diverse student populations in both the design and implementation of service-learning courses,
2) including human communities and the natural environment and sustainability as realms of service learning activity; and
3) pursuing connections with the Bacc Core curriculum as a part of the broader effort to revitalize the general education experience at OSU.
The faculty development and curriculum development efforts will emphasize the philosophy and pedagogy of service learning and experiential education, community-campus partnership-building, assessment of student learning outcomes through service learning, and risk management implications. The SLFD Coordinator collaborates with other OSU academic and support units invested in service learning to promote service learning, plan support for faculty and students engaged in service learning, build connections between curricular and co-curricular service opportunities, and plan for continued advances in OSU's service learning programs.

How did you get pregnant with Nov LO?
Not to be rude but if you got pregnant by accident or without really trying, please don't share because that isn't helpful.
I haven't been on any form of BC since having LO. I wish I could give up or totally relax about it, but that is pretty much impossible. We did get pregnant when LO was 7 months old (when I for sure was not thinking about another pregnancy lol!!) but that ended at 10 weeks and I have been obsessed with getting pregnant again ever since. Some times more obsessed and sometimes less.
I quit taking my temp and using OPK bc I thought that was just making me stress about it more.
Currently I am taking some herbal supplements to balance out my hormones because my cycles range from 30-40-something days long.

Pennsylvania's Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program, credited with rescuing more than 46,000 state residents from foreclosure since 1983, is accepting applications again from troubled borrowers.
The $66.5 million in funding for the program comes from money that state Attorney General Linda Kelly received as Pennsylvania's share of a $25 billion national settlement with five major lenders over foreclosure-processing issues.
Forty-nine states received shares of the settlement reached with the lenders after it was discovered that foreclosure documents had been submitted for action without being read before they were signed. This came to be known as robo-signing.
In each state, the attorney general received direct payments of portions of the settlement to fund consumer-protection and foreclosure-protection efforts.

The friendly face of the enemy.
Madfinger's excellent shooter, Shadowgun, has been updated to take advantage of the Retina Display on the new iPad.
The game has now been downloaded by more than a million users, which is pretty impressive. We gave the game a solid 8/10 in last year's review.
The new update sees the game playing in the new iPad's native 2048x1536 resolution with 4x MSAA and looks the part with little in the way of slowdown.
To celebrate the new update, the game is currently on sale for £1.99/$2.99, well worth picking up at that price.
You can grab Shadowgun for iPhone and iPad from the App Store now.

Pennsylvania Gun Owner: Why Universal Background Checks Will Make Us Safer
Each year in Pennsylvania, nearly 1,200 people lose their lives to gun violence. Almost every gun crime is committed by somebody using an illegal gun. Larry Glick, former executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association, explains why universal background checks will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and keep Pennsylvania's streets safer.
