Well my theory has gone out the window.
I thought I'd been clever and worked out the final four based on their social media presence, or lack of.
My theory went like this. Four of the remaining contestants don't have an official Facebook page. Aaron, Eliott, Kelly and Jennis. So I wondered if they weren't allowed to have one, to save momentum for a post-finale media blitz?
Tonight's evictee ruled that idea out, and actually I'm relieved. Figuring out something before you're meant to know is fun until you've ruined the surprise.
It's not the first or last time I'll be wrong this season either. Early in the season after a few cringe worthy blame-shifts from Eliott I predicted that attitude would get the better of him and therefore a team challenge would be his likely exit.
Now, not only does he seem to get on well with everyone, he's cooking better than ever. Anyway, with a small number of remaining contestants I guess we're past the team challenge stage anyway.
Same with Sushil. Some clumsy cooking early on and I figured he'd be an early casualty, as likeable as he is. I still think it won't be too long before he's gone though, he has a love/hate relationship with pressure. It's starting to look like there's not much left in the tank.
But if he's going to be comfortable, it's going to be in Fiji, where the final eight get their first and only overseas trip.
"Landing in Fiji's fantastic," the Aaronator says, which I think is code for landing anywhere after a Jetstar flight is a bonus. Then we see the obligatory tourism provider montage without which such expensive challenges would not be possible.
But budget's can only go so far, and this week the credit card maxed out before they could buy Simon Gault's ticket, so to replace him is the venue's assistant manager Rudy Crane. It's hard to pick his accent but I think he's Welsh.
Crane rattles off a list of activities the contestants are unlikely to have time for, before Josh Emett reminds them they're unlikely to ever be in the right tax bracket anyway.
"You may never get another chance to enjoy the wonders of Dolphin Island."
After another travel-channel montage ("beautifully appointed", "here we have an infinity pool", "taro is awesome") it's down to business. Not cooking business. It's a crab race and it will have some sort of effect on the next day's cooking.
"We're all very skeptical of the advantage," says Eliott, looking like an AFL player in an orange tank top. "Because last advantage you had to stitch your teammates up."
After meeting Group Executive Chef Michel Louws we learn that the crab race dictates the contestant's order of cooking in a fresh fish invention test.
Despite winning, Vanessa isn't happy. "I'm a little frustrated because I would prefer to not have all day to think about too many things." You'd think the chance to plan your dish all day would be welcome, but clearly she'd prefer to work under more pressure.
Louws' advice? "Don't make it too complicated." Earlier he described Dolphin Island's style of cuisine as "basically home cooking at the next level." I'm starting to think maybe it's not as five star as we've been led to believe, but then my mind starts to wander as I notice a small tuft of hair above his forehead that has been twisted into a spike.
They'll each have one hour with Chef Tintin breathing down their necks. The Aaronator is up first. "I'm going to make some coconut ginger rice." To go with it, and despite the clock ticking, his plan is to cook some test pieces of fish to work out what flavours will go together. This to me, more than anything else this season, demonstrates why he is such a great cook.
To accompany the fish he's making a salsa. He grinds down some papaya seeds to give it a peppery taste - "something I discovered the other day." As you do. He reckons he found it quite stressful but from the outside it looked like a walk in the park. Vanessa looked more stressed out standing on the beach than Aaron did in the kitchen.
This week judging is taking place as we go. In one hour Aaron has made: Coral Trout with a mild salsa, Barracuda with a hot salsa, sweet and sour Mud Crab with ginger and garlic and coconut ginger rice. It looks pretty bloody good, and Ray McVinnie thinks it tastes pretty bloody good.
"I think the star of the show is the crab and crab sauce, it is knockout."
Emett is more colloquial. "It's almost like he's taking the piss."
Rudy Crane does his best to muster up some useful feedback but doesn't really deliver. "It's got all the different components to make you smile while you're eating it." It's hard to pick his accent but I think he's American.
Ella, who loves to whip up a bread, is making roti with tuna and salads. She also cracks open fresh coconut to make a chutney with coriander, lime and chilli. Sounds great and Tintin agrees.
"I like the idea, it's fresh, it's vibrant, it's flavoursome, but God she's messy. She leaves shit everywhere. I'm a little bit shocked to be honest."
Ella decides to deep fry kumara in coconut oil. "Coconuts and Fiji just go really well together." Tintin thinks little of the idea. "Have you smelled it? It's a real bad smell aye."
I'm also not sure about the heavy turmeric rub she's given the Tuna. I've never had any success with turmeric outside using it with a bunch of other spices in a paste or whatnot, but Ella knows more about flavour than I do, to be sure.
So it's a surprise to hear the judge's feedback. "Too much salt," says McVinnie. "It's got great flavour but again the seasoning on the outside is a bit hefty," adds Emett. "They're so close but there's just a little fault with each one."
Paula comes up with an idea so crazy sounding you'd be forgiven for thinking it came from Jennis. Fish custard. Yes I know there are custards and there are custards, but when I grew up there was only one custard and it was custard powder. But this is Paula we're talking about and six words give me confidence.
"The inspiration is a Thai dish." Well in that case.
"I admire her courage to do something different," says Tintin, but it's not long before things starts to unravel. Paula's unsure of the ratio to make the custard set and Tintin gives her grief for gambling.
"I'm not a measuring kind of girl. I know that's one of my downfalls as a cook."
In the last few moments Paula seems so stressed that it's contagious and I begin to fear the worst. That is until McVinnie sets us straight.
"I think this woman cooks like an angel. The fish custard is absolutely sensational."
While the accompaniments aren't much to look at, they strike a chord with Emett.
"Pineapple and tamarind? Unbelievable together."
Jennis goes next and right off the bat doesn't impress Chef Tintin.
"I'm slightly disappointed with her inability to fillet fish, it's one of the main proteins, you know at some stage you will be filleting fish," he says. "That is something you can nail by practice."
Amen brother. All season people have been turfed out by challenges and techniques that could have been predicted.
With the filleting taking a while Jennis decides to keep the rest simple, steaming some taro wrapped in taro leaf with coconut cream, and fruit served in that most creative of ways - a stack.
At this point Tintin is way more concerned than Jennis seems to be, kinda waffling her way through tasks, seemingly unfazed by anything. "Well the fish is pretty springy so I'm pretty sure it's not overcooked!"
But her lax attitude to bench cleanliness is too much for Tintin who finally has a harrumph. He's been trying to clean up everyone's act all day but this time we find out why.
"You're attracting flies, I want you to clean your bench. If you don't do that you'll get too many flies. Too many flies on the food, you can't serve it." Too many? Exactly how many are acceptable?
My gut instinct is that Chef is a bit miffed by the fruit stack, based on how many times he questions it. But perhaps he just hasn't experienced the Jennis effect that the MasterChef judges are now used to - pulling greatness out of chaos.
I'm thinking everything looks simple, elegant, and I'm prepared for the judges to fawn.
"I don't know about you guys," says McVinnie. "But this absolutely bores me to death."
So Tintin was right to question the fruit stack. "I can't taste any dressing, any seasoning," McVinnie says, and Emett thinks even less of the palusami that isn't palusami.
"That's going to kill someone if it falls out of a tree isn't it, it's just a dead weight."
Crane adds his five cents. "When I looked at it I thought wow this is promising quite a bit, but it's a bit of a let down." It's hard to pick his accent but I think he's Irish.
It's no major surprise that Sushil opts for a curry. He aced one last week, he's in Fiji, and the brief was Fijian. Perhaps that confidence gave him the impetus to try a little cleanliness this week too.
"I love that, nice and tidy," says Tintin. "They told me you were the messy one."
But nothing is more endearing to an executive chef than having their suggestion adhered to, and after Tintin expresses distaste for skin and bone in the fish curry, Sushil gets a gold star for doing as he's told.
"Today's all about creating a five-star dish, so I'm going to listen to chef Michel and I start filleting a fish," Sushil explains.
The next minute Josh Emett pops up in the kitchen. He hasn't visited any other contestants so far (not that we've seen anyway), and it seems designed purely to give Sushil stick for playing it safe.
"Curry?" Emett says, like he doesn't know already. He achieves his goal and Sushil instantly regrets his decision. The confidence drains from his face and he chokes up. It's not pleasant to watch.
The encounter gives Tintin a chance to show some real leadership and he mentors Sushil out of his rut. "Make it bloody awesome, make him eat his words."
Emett is still banging on about it at the judging table but can't fault the taste. All three judges can fault the taro in coconut cream.
"It looks like something the cat brought up," says McVinnie.
Tintin however doesn't have the baggage of the Masterchef kitchen to cloud his thoughts and sees more in Sushil.
"Just in case you do not win this competition and even if you do, when you're finished and you're without a job, give me a ring." Now that is pleasant to watch.
Kelly goes next. "I'm going to do tuna two ways, so tuna on a crab and potato mash and then I'm doing raw fish salad."
Tintin has a problem. "She's... playing with my head. I'm extremely worried. Why the hell are you going to cook crab if you've never done it before." Little does he know that's usually Kelly's M.O.
He's also troubled by her decision to use tuna in the kokoda (raw fish salad), but he doesn't say why.
But Kelly glides on. She never seems that concerned in her interviews. In fact she always explains things like she's just started her third glass of wine and is beginning to feel it in her legs.
Unsure of exactly what to do with the cooked crab, she bashes it up before Tintin imparts something I never knew - 80% of the meat is in the claws.
Where Sushil chose to listen, Kelly stuck to her guns. The presentation queen goes for a rustic theme against Tintin's wishes of something more discerning.
McVinnie sees good and bad. "Loved the kumara, crab and coconut, don't want to see all this crab garbage... didn't like the kokoda, not marinated enough."
Eliott, fresh from his recent success, looks confident. "Today I'm cooking crab fishcake, butter-poached lobster, seared tuna with a spicy rub and fresh fruit salsa."
Sounds pretty good, but Tintin sees a problem with the lobster.
"When I poach lobster I poach it at 63 degrees for about 10 minutes, this is boiling."
Next thing you know there is 12 minutes left, they're really skipping through this one - I guess he falls in the middle of the pack.
"He's not poaching his crayfish he's killing it," says Tintin. His crab-cakes are going into a cold pan so they soak up all the oil... he had it all under control, what's he doing?!"
As Eliott walks towards the judging table, which has now moved to the end of a pier, he shares some pretty hilarious self-justification. "The only downside for me is the poached lobster tail, to me it's just a little bit chewy, but I've had worse at restaurants."
I'm surprised he doesn't mention the crab-cake too, which from the outside appears pretty poor. "It's just a big, fat, flabby, clumsy fishcake," confirms Emett.
McVinnie agrees and doesn't like that crayfish tail either. Even Crane has the confidence to finally be quite specific with his comments. "The tuna stands out in terms of flavour, the rest are all a little bit bland, the crayfish is slightly overcooked," he says. It's hard to pick his accent but I think he's English.
Eight hours into the challenge Vanessa gets her chance. "I went into the challenge with three ideas as always, and decided to run with the first one and see how I went time wise, so I'm going to cook coral trout whole."
Tintin is worried about time. So much so that he drops another one of his strong suggestions. "I strongly suggest you reconsider your strategy for the coral trout."
"I'm not saying you can't do it," but he kinda is. There is under half an hour, Vanessa checks the fish and says it's opaque in the middle, as Tintin knowingly nods his head and calls for a Plan B.
Plan B is tuna salad. Vanessa starts filleting but sounds like she's really only doing it to keep Chef off her back and still plans on serving the whole fish. With a minute left and still full of doubt she sticks to the plan.
"I'm relieved to be finished, what will be will be."
Emett's first question is obvious enough. "Is it cooked?" But he seems otherwise happy to finally be served a whole fish. "It's really delicious, it's exactly what I've been looking for today. It's nicely seasoned with a nice salsa and a nice kumara mash."
"Couldn't agree more," says McVinnie. "Screams Fiji at me."
Here is where it gets a bit iffy. The underside is completely raw. Raw fish. Anyone who watches MasterChef knows what happens when you serve raw fish or raw chicken, but excuses are already being made.
"She's really understood what Dolphin [Island's] all about, it's that simple easy style of cooking," says Crane. He has the oddest accent, it's very hard to pick where it comes from.
"Bottom line is if she served that to guests here at Dolphin Island she'd be going home," says Emett. Apparently he was using the politician's definition of bottom line, which isn't a bottom line at all.
The contestant's line up along one side of the pool, the judges the other. Jennis, Vanessa, Eliott and Kelly step forward and are showered with praise, some that's inconsistent with the earlier judging even, but it turns out these are the least impressive dishes.
At this point in the competition every elimination is going to be good cook against good cook, as it is now with Vanessa and Jennis. The comments during Vanessa's judging should have made this elimination a no brainer, but Emett has softened his stance.
Earlier he had said the underside of Vanessa's fish was "completely raw", he now says "verging on raw."
Sure enough, Vanessa was safe at the expense of Jennis. I can understand on balance that Vanessa may have had more positives, but MasterChef always makes a big deal about not being able to serve customers raw food. It's inconsistent. Or perhaps it's just "verging" on inconsistent.
I really thought Jennis was going to be top four, maybe even top three, and not just because of my Facebook page theory. The upsets will no doubt come thick and fast now. Although given Vanessa not only has a Facebook page, but an actual proper website, that rules her out of winning the competition in my opinion.
But I've been wrong before.

Don't mention the only touchdown of the first half for the Cowboys was on a 45 second play clock. Give me a break dude. From a fan of a team who literally got handed a win against Pittsburgh, talking **** about flags is just laughable.
I know you guys really want RG3 to be a fluke, but its not looking that way. He was playing with one leg the past 2 weeks and got the job done. Also keep in mind, its not just him. Its the O Line finally hitting full speed with the Zone Scheme, the Rookie 6th round RB, and much more.
Keep talking **** all you want, but the Giants players are sitting at home, and the Redskins are in the playoffs. I love these Nostradamus posts that people make about RG3. The Read Option has yet to be even close to be contained, and to think he can run it at 75% speed, just imagine next year at full speed.

Honeyville's Blue Corn has been carefully processed from select food-grade flint corn. Blue corn is simply a variety of flint corn with a dark bluish to red color that, when ground, produces a blue color flour. Blue corn is grown mostly in the Southwestern part of the United States. This corn has a coarser texture and a nuttier flavor than other varieties of corn used for flour.
Far less blue corn is commercially harvested for a variety of reasons. Blue corn is simply not as hearty as dent corn varieties like our White Corn and Yellow Corn. It frequently produces multiple stalks that fall over and cause problems with harvesting equipment and produces a lower yield in general. The primary use for blue corn is to produce masa for blue corn tortillas and for blue corn chips. Tortillas made from blue corn are usually denser than white corn tortillas. Honeyville Blue Corn is an ideal product for long term food storage and emergency preparedness.
Shelf-Life: Blue Corn will store for 1 year in a sealed 50 pound bag under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry place).
Uses: Blue Corn can be used in any recipe calling for blue corn, including corn chips and tortillas.
Packaging: Blue Corn in bulk is available in a 50 pound bag. Packaging may vary.
Ingredients: Whole Kernel Blue Corn.
Allergen information: This product does not contain any allergens.
United States
My family bought 200 lbs of this for our long-term food storage. It's flint corn so it needs to be processed with alkalai (nixtamalized with calcium Hydroxide) before your body can absorb the nutrients. Most people don't realize that unprocessed corn is exceedingly nutrition deficient. Nixtamalized corn however is one of the healthiest things you can eat. I use this product to make masa for blue corn tortillas. They taste great! Much better than what you would buy at the store or make from Maseca. Blue corn is about 20% higher in protein than yellow corn and is lower in carbohydrates. It's also much less likely to be GMO if you care about that sort of thing. I am very pleased with my purchase. I wll probably buy more in the future for the purpose of rotating my food storage.Review by Beth (Posted on 3/24/2014)

Apartment just in the middle of everything. A big terrace on the roof that we used every dag. Do note that the stairs up to the roof are narrow. Everything to our full satisfaction except for 1st floor where higth is for kids only. We were 6 adults and the 4 of us, sleeping upstairs had to move around backs bending forward not to crash our head against the ceiling. That we did not know.
A perfect situated flat in two levels.It is really in the center and in a very quiet area.
There are however some buts.
At the second level, there are only app. between 140 - 170 cm which means it is only usable for children
There are only two doors in the flat (those are to the two bathrooms). That means that all the " rooms " are connected as if it was one big room.
For two adult persons the flat is more than perfect.
Very Nice appartement in the center of Rome (Campo di fiori). However, ceiling on the second floor is quite low, especially for tall Dutch people :)
Very nice area to stay! Close to the busses and Campo di Fiori. We really had a great time in Rome. The apartment is located in a nice alley (somewhat noisy in the morning) and looks very authentic. With 6 persons we however thought it was too small. Especially since the bed downstairs is too small for two persons, and the second level is really low (strongly not recommended for large people).
It was clean but dusty, we sneezed a lot.
The roof terrace can be reached via some stairs outside the apartment (not child friendly).
The cab driver Paolo, friend of Virginia, is the ideal men for bringing and picking you up from the Airport!
Ciao bella Roma!
What a great apartment with a perfect location. We spent 4 excellent days during the month of January with a temperature of 15 degrees during some sunny days. Everything went smoothly; the host provided us with an easy solution to transport (which by the way was on time each way), upon arrival another nice friend of the host showed us the flat and all its features. Yes, off course it may not be easy if you are at my height (almost 180 cm) and need to use the upper level of the flat (the sealing is about 160 cm), but we managed, and yes, of course you may also have comments about the lack of perfect china the kitchen – but you can expect a perfection location to everything and an easy access to a large variety of restaurants. And the flat is filled with charm
The flat is very near to everything.
Ínside the first floor is only for people with a high lower than 160. Under this you have a big toilet, room for sleeping, kitchen and a livingroom.
At the roof you have a fantastic place to relax and take a drink.
The flat itn´t for people with diabled people.
Kind regards
We had a really beautiful flat. It is placed very central, next bus stop five minutes away and many important sights in the near.
Most of the things we needed were already in our apartment (like toilet-paper and towels).
Virginia and her friend are very very nice ;-)
Location absolutely perfect! Right in the old town centre, all sites (from Colosseum to Vatican) at walking distance. Appartment is nice, clean, sufficiently equiped. As top floor is only 1.65 high, not too convenient for 4 or 5 adults, 2 adults with child(-ren): fine.
Host Virginia is very friendly, very helpfull and can be contacted easily if necessary.
Market, shops, many restaurants nearby.Because of this bit noisy, but not too bad. We would go back any time!

Cameron Smith likes to smile. Craig Bellamy finds it hard to, but this odd couple is at the heart of Melbourne's quest to win Sunday's NRL grand final against Canterbury.
Sources close to Bellamy claim he's mellowed in recent years, but the former NSW coach still cuts an intense, brooding figure with a fierce desire to win.
Coaching boxes up and down the country have bore the brunt of his frustrations for almost a decade but, in Smith, the Storm have one of the most personable players in the game and a captain who takes everything in his stride.
And Bellamy believes it's this ying and yang that's helped the Storm reach five of the last seven grand finals.
"He's calm and composed, unlike myself," Bellamy said on Thursday.
"I suppose we rub off on one another when we need to.
"When we need to be excited I take control. When we need to be composed Cam does.
"He's a wonderful leader and that's shown by the fact he is captain of our club, his state and our country."
But it wasn't initially all sweetness and light between the pair in the early days, with Smith's laid-back nature initially not going down well with the ultra-professional young mentor.
"He was a bit hard to put up with early in his career with his lack of time management, which would be the nice way to put it," Bellamy said.
"He would be right on the edge when it came to meetings and training.
"But that's how he is. Nothing seems to fluster him."
Smith said that Bellamy's tendency to rage is often a source of great amusement to the rest of the squad, but acknowledged his attention to detail and planning is second to none.
"If I wasn't there I don't know what would be going on in some of those meetings, he'd be going right off the handle," Smith said.
"I play a bit of a role there. I joke around a bit and take the piss out of him in front of the boys and it is a bit of a laugh.
"But I think it's good for Craig and for some of the other boys.
"We get a bit of a laugh and a smile from him, which we don't get to see too often and the other players get to see another side of him.
"But you need someone like Bellyache, who's intense and knows how to time preparations.
"He gives us plenty of homework to look at and a lot of information to make us the best footy side we can be."
Bellamy and Des Hasler have met each other twice this season, with the Bulldogs coach coming out on top 20-4 the last time the sides faced off in Mackay.
However, Bellamy believes the Sunday's opponents caused more problems for his side in the game Melbourne won 12-6 in round seven.
"If you look back at the two games this year, they probably had more of the ball in Melbourne," he said.
"I don't know how many passes were thrown in the two games by the Bulldogs, but they played a very expansive game in Melbourne.
"It was a game that could have gone either way, but we defended real well that night and we can take a bit out of that."

Flatbush, Brooklyn
As Midwood becomes Flatbush east of the station (literally, on the other side of the tracks), the neighborhood becomes less Jewish and more African-American - and less affluent.
The LIRR Bay Ridge Line continues to the northeast in a trench through Flatbush.
Avenue H Station
Avenue H is cut by the BMT Brighton Line (Q train) between East 15th and East 16th streets. The subway line runs slightly above grade and passes over the freight tracks at the south end of the platform. The subway station house opened in 8/23/1907 and dates to upgrades on the line after the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company had consolidated ownership of most rail, el, and streetcar lines in Brooklyn.
Ocean Avenue - Brooklyn College - Manhattan Beach Junction
When these lines were first built in the 1870s, this intersection of with Ocean Avenue just to the southwest of Brooklyn College was Manhattan Beach Junction - where the Manhattan Beach line south to Coney Island separated from the main Bay Ridge Line. Because the Manhattan Beach Line was, effectively, a spur south off the Bay Ridge Line, termination of passenger service on the Bay Ridge Line in 1924 also terminated service on the Manhattan Beach Line. Freight service continued on the Manhattan Beach Line continued until it was taken up in 1937 and the right-of-way was relinquished.
Flatbush Avenue / Nostrand Avenue Station
The Brooklyn IRT line (2 and 5 trains) terminates at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Nostrand Avenue, just north of the freight rail tracks. Triangle Junction, a new retail building housing a Target store was built just to the south of the IRT station betweeen Avenue H, Flatbush and Nostrand. The rear part of the parking garage for the building extends over the freight tracks. Presumably, a new station would be built under the parking garage or (more likely) to the west on the site of a fresh produce market that would be seized with eminent domain. A pedestrian tunnel could then connect the two stations.
During the Manhattan Beach Railroad days the Flatlands station sat somewhere east of Nostrand Avenue - perhaps where Triangle Junction is now. The name was changed to Vanderveer Park in 1899 and it lasted until passenger service terminated in 1924.

/r/randomactsofbicycle allows people to gift and receive bicycles. If your post get's a dusty unused bicycle out of a garage and onto the street (trail, half pipe etc.), then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Money exchange is not encouraged; this is not classified advertising. This subreddit is intended to help people by gifting them a bicycle, not selling them one. That said; pizza, beer, and the like are encouraged as payment/trade. Keep the kindness rolling.
Keep in mind that gifting bicycle parts/incomplete projects is also encouraged
Please include in the post title:
Your location i.e. [Country/State, City] (at end of post title)
[BIKE] or [BICYCLE] if you have a bicycle to give (at beginning of post title)

The Board of Supervisors and County Engineer discussed a proposed levee improvement project near Smithland in Tuesday's weekly Board meeting. A local landowner had noted erosion damage to a levee that was repaired in 2010 along the left bank of the Little Sioux River, basically across the river from the town of Smithland.
The County Engineer has obtained all permits for the project from the Corps of Engineers and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The estimated project cost is between $60,000 and $100,000 to line approximately 1900 lineal feet of levee depending upon whether broken concrete or crushed quartzite revetment (riprap) is used. Crushed concrete is cheaper material, but not as durable as the quartzite material.
The landowner whose property is protected by the levee has offered $30,000 toward the project. The Board directed the County Engineer and County Budget Director to determine how to pay for the balance of the project cost and report back to the County Supervisors for a decision.

|CFDA Numbers:
- Gallaudet University Programs and Elementary and Secondary Education Programs
84.910B - Gallaudet University Endowment Grant
84.910D - Gallaudet University Construction Program
|Program Goal: To challenge students who are deaf, graduate students who are deaf, and graduate students who are hearing to achieve their academic goals and obtain productive employment, provide leadership in setting the national standard for best practices in education of the deaf and hard of hearing, and establish a sustainable resource base.
|Objective 1 of 3: The University Programs and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School will optimize the number of students completing programs of study.
|Indicator 1.1 of 3: Enrollment at Gallaudet University: Maintain minimum enrollment numbers in Gallaudet's undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs, as well as the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School as established by Gallaudet University.
Source: Collegiate Office of Enrollment Services, and Clerc Center student database, FY 2006 enrollment as of October 2005, summarized in Gallaudet's FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: Gallaudet has established minimum enrollment targets based on long-standing enrollment targets and historical trends, recognizing that actual figures vary from year to year. A degree-seeking student who is dually-enrolled in Professional Studies course is only counted under 1 of the categories.
|Indicator 1.2 of 3: Student persistence rate: Increase the undergraduate persistence rate and increase or maintain the graduate student persistence rate.
Source: Collegiate Office of the Register records, summarized in the FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: For FY 2006, this measure changed from retention rates to persistence rates. This measure was designated as a long-term measure in FY 2006.
|Indicator 1.3 of 3: Student graduation rates: The undergraduate graduation rate will reach 48 percent; the graduate student and Model Secondary School student graduation rates will be increased or maintained.
Source: Collegiate Office of the Registrar and the Clerc Center Office of Exemplary Programs and Research records, summarized in FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: The undergraduate graduation rates are calculated as the number of graduates in one year over the number of entering students six years previously. Graduation from MSSD is more than completion of required course work. Graduation signals that students have successfully met their IEP goals, so that graduation becomes an Individualized Education Program (IEP) decision. Students may graduate at the end of their senior year, or they may make the decision, as part of the IEP process, to return to MSSD for a fifth year to pursue their IEP goals. As of FY 2005, the graduate rate was disaggregated to show those who graduate after four years and those who exercise a 5th-year option. The FY 2005 data only reports those who graduated after their senior year. The second year seniors (5th-year option) for FY 2005 will be reported after June 2006; the Annual Graduation rate will be calculated at that time.
|Objective 2 of 3: Gallaudet works in partnership with others to develop and disseminate educational programs and materials for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
|Indicator 2.1 of 1: Use of the demonstration schools' expertise: Other programs and/or institutions adopting innovative curricula and other products, or modifying their strategies as a result of Model and Kendall's leadership, will be maintained or increased.
Source: Records of the Clerc Center Office of Training and Professional Development, summarized in the FY 2004 Annual Report, submitted in January 2005.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: The number of new programs adopting innovations from year to year will vary and depends in part on the number and type of strategies and curricula being disseminated by the Clerc Center and the financial and personnel resources available within other programs for training and implementation activities.
|Objective 3 of 3: Curriculum and extracurricular activities prepare students to meet the skill requirements of the workplace or to continue their studies.
|Indicator 3.1 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the university: Gallaudet's bachelor's graduates either find employment commensurate with their training and education or attend advanced education or training programs during their first year after graduation.
Source: University study on the status of graduates' employment and advanced studies, February, 2005.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: In FY 2006, this measure was disaggregated by adding a new category ''Not Engaged in Either Activity'' to capture the perecentage of graduates who are NOT employed or in advanced education or training during their first year after graduation. The FY 2006 target is to establish a baseline for the new category. The FY 2007 target for the new category is to maintain the baseline. Students employed include both full and part-time employment. Advanced education or training includes students enrolled in a master's or Ph.D. program, a vocational or technical program, or another type of program, e.g., law school or medical school.
|Indicator 3.2 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the Model Secondary School: A high percentage of the Model Secondary School graduates either find jobs commensurate with their training or attend postsecondary programs.
Source: The follow-up survey is conducted by the Cerc Center Office of Exemplary Programs and Research, approximately one year following June graduation.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Explanation: In FY 2007 this measure was changed to reflect the status of graduates one year following graduation, rather than the previous measure of a 4-month follow-up. The FY 2007 target is to establish the baselines for the three categories: ''students employed,'' ''students in advanced education or training,'' and ''not engaged in either activity.''

The most pressing issue facing public works departments is the shrinking pool of talent from which to draw the work-force of the future. National demographics and workforce trends have caused human resources (HR) professionals and public sector leaders to express anxiety about the challenges of succession planning. Several key factors make the issue of succession management especially critical over the next three to five years.
First is the looming departure of the large baby boomer segment from the work-force. Most agencies will experience a rash of retirements within the next three to five years. The baby boomer generation includes those born between the years of 1946 and 1964, the largest segment of the U.S. work-force. Census figures estimate that by 2010, the country will experience a labor shortage of 10 million people. This number alone points to the serious competition public agencies will face in recruiting, retaining, and developing the next generation.
Second, labor demand is expected to outpace supply dramatically over the next few years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities in the public sector will increase 10% to 15% through 2010.
Third, demographics are undergoing a shift in gender and ethnic profiles. According to a 2002 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, the public sector will require increased bilingual training, language and communication training, diversity and inclusion training, and mandated sexual harassment training.
These drivers will require a systematic approach to planning and managing succession in public agencies. However, most agencies treat succession planning as an activity for the HR department. Executing an effective succession plan requires professional HR skills, but the development and sponsorship of a successful strategy depends upon a top-level commitment. Succession planning must be a strategic priority assigned to an organization's senior leaders.
How, then, does a public works department develop and implement a systematic approach to succession planning? A successful approach used by many organizations includes five major steps:
Step 1: Institutionalize the process and capture stakeholder input. This is perhaps the most difficult step of the succession planning process. It lays the groundwork for the entire program by gaining top management commitment, creating a cross-functional planning team, identifying the strategic goals and vision of the organization, and defining objectives for the succession management program. This effort requires developing a solid business case for succession planning using external and internal data to document the impending shortage of talent, how it will impact sustainability, and the need for resources.
Step 2: Assess organizational need. Once you have established a support network and core team, it is important to assess the existing state and long-term needs of the organization and to identify gaps. A review of current organizational demographic data, key work processes and associated positions, and the condition and availability of resources and systems will pinpoint areas susceptible to breakdown. Some questions to ask during the assessment phase include:
No organization is static, and the current state of the organization will not necessarily predict its long-term sustainability. The current state may not be compatible with the long-term vision and projected service demands. Disparities in the work-force, processes, knowledge transfer systems, and other systems and resources will become apparent, helping to identify the long-term talent and core leadership competencies required to bridge the gaps.
Step 3: Develop a succession planning model. This is the key activity that will help you prepare to respond to future challenges. As part of the model development phase you first should determine which employees or levels of employees will be involved in the program. This should include representatives from all stakeholder groups, including civil service, HR, employees, senior management, and unions.

I wrote recently about the Halo Mega Bloks Toymation Fest, which is now in its final judging phase. You can watch the top videos in each of the five categories now, and the winners should be announced sometime in December. In the meantime, I got a chance to check out one of the big Halo Mega Bloks sets, the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn frigate. It's a massive ship, at 1:500 scale (although the interior compartments are at a larger scale so that you can actually put minifigs inside).
The four boxes of pieces helpfully came with charts indicating which pieces were in each box, and I tried to keep them sorted in their individual plastic bags as well. However, the one difficulty I found was that the ship came in three colors: light metallic grey, dark metallic grey, and black. It was often hard to tell the three colors apart, and the majority of the time spent building the set actually came in finding the appropriate pieces.

Town Square
Gymnasiums Needed
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Jun 7, 2009
Too many who are into indoor sport activity such as basketball and volleyball have to go out of town to play.
I think some creative thinking is needed to expand gym space in Palo Alto for community purposes.
I perceive that the School Board and Superintendent Kevin Skelley have open minds about how gym space could be developed that not only serves our kids during the school times, but can serve oftentimes the same kids or their parents at times when school district needs are not in conflict. Now is the time to think that through, as the bond measure that passed in 2008 provides a great deal of funding for schools throughout town.
I perceive a number of properties, mainly churches, that are underutilized. This is not a judgmental comment on my part, one way or the other. But it does conjure up the notion from a community standpoint if there is a greater good if certain parcels became gymnasiums rather than languish in their current capacities.
There is a bit of good news on this gym front. The JCC complex under construction at Charleston and San Antonio includes some gym space that will be available to Palo Altans in general will have available. Also, once the JCC is operational, some gym space at Cubberley which they control will revert to the city's Community Services Department for general public use. These are encouraging developments, but insufficient to address the demand that's out there.
Even in this current environment, I think it is possible to identify private/public partnership arrangements that can create new gym space for Palo Altans. It does call for major creative thinking.

A couple of respected parents were/have been trying to convert the former Kiki's candy store on West Bayshore (Web Link)
But, the ARB said the project was too bland and looked like it belonged in an office park. The gym is located along W. Bayshore where all there are are office buildings.
And, although this won't solve the whole problem, if it takes a few teams out of the other gyms, it opens up spots for others.
The city is one of the main problems with the lack of athletic facilities.
One note. I went by Paly yesterday and they padlocked the football field and there's a sign that states use with permit only. I understand their motives, but it eliminates another field for recreational, non-organized play.

Garland neighbors have been successful in changing the plans for the new MP room to not be a gym. A gym here would have been very helpful as typically basketball is played in winter when it is dark and it is not possible to play outside after 6.00 pm. Practices and games at Garland would have not caused parking problems in the evenings as the Jordan fields can't be used in the dark. The neighbors imagine basketball can be played outside, but you can't play in the dark or when it is raining outside, but you can use a gym then. This was a very bad move, not having a gym in the "wonderful" new school that the community at large will not benefit from.

Are you saying that the PAUSD should consider redirecting some parcel tax money towards building a gym on the ARCO site?
The current parcel tax is 100% earmarked for campus construction. It can't legally be used for construction off campus or even outside the scope described in the original "proposition" that the voters approved. As a city resident - I did not vote to have our school-facility parcel tax used to build an off-campus gym that would be primarily, if not exclusively, used by organizations other than the schools.
Personally, I don't think the school district should ever spend money that doesn't directly benefit the students first. If anything - a gym in Mid-town should be the city's responsibility, or perhaps a public-private venture between the city and a non-profit or two.
Your suggestion of a public-private partnership is probably the only way any major recreation facility will get built. But the "public" portion should be the city, not the school district.

CP Dad,
I absoltely am NOT suggesting that the school district do anything with regard to the ARCO site.
I fully concur that the school district bond money is for the school properties, and I am of the opinion that just as there has been private money raised to help with the athletic programs and facilities at the high schools, so too could some fundraising be done privately that could enable the gym space at the middle and perhaps the elementary schools to be developed in a way that they can better serve the community demand when the schools are not operating them. There are some parallels to this with the playing fields, which are managed and scheduled for non-school time use by the City's Community Services Department.
Apart from possibilities that could be brought to bear on the school gyms, I also am suggesting in this blog that perhaps there are some other privately owned parcels, such as the ARCO station, that could be scraped and have gym space built on them. This would clearly have to be funds generated by interested private parties in town, the City does not have the resources to make such an acquisition or pay for the design and construction. But, something along the lines of the Mayfield soccer fields, privately owned (by Stanford,)but managed and scheduled by the City, could be an exciting possibility.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding you may have had around my original comments.

The developers putting the students in the schools and the participants in the sports programs should be paying for the needs of those buying their homes.
With all of the housing being built (and approved by the city), the facilities are overcrowded and/or run down. The city does not have the financial ability to mitigate the problem.
Does the city not realize that all of the housing they approve puts a greater strain on the infrastructure? And, obviously, a greater strain than is being offset by the new residents.
Who, other than Stanford, would build a gym for the city? And, why would Stanford do that? Sure, in a few years the city can hold it over their head as a contingency when they expand the mall, but that'll be many years from now.

Stop whining about overcrowding until the illegal Tinsley agreement is reversed and EPA grows up and takes back the obligation of educating their own children.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jun 9, 2009 at 9:35 am
The issue of gym space has little to do with Tinsley. Just because a child is in PAUSD, it doesn't give them entrance into sports like NJB (National Junior Basketball) where you have to prove Palo Alto residency to join. Gym space for after school sports is much more of a problem than gym space for school sports. Not too sure of the details, but regardless how big the high schools are, not everyone who wants to play gets on a team. At the middle school level, everyone who wants to gets on a team and the number of teams is determined by the number wanting to play. Therefore the bigger the schools the bigger the demand for space will probably be.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jun 9, 2009 at 12:39 pm
The number of Tinsley students is set at 60 new students a year. The VTP numbers are fairly constant and predictable. On the other hand, new housing brings new students to the schools thus changing the overall quantity and putting more pressure on the schools.
I'm not saying I totally agree with VTP, and at some point it needs to be revisited. But, VTP is not the cause of school size increases. VTP students are fairly steady at under 600 district wide. Over the past 4 years, 300 new students have come from recent new housing developments in the city, plus another 145 from Stanford West Apartments built in 2001. Another 500+ are projected to be enrolled by 2010 coming from new developments in the city's pipeline such as Alma Plaza and the Elks property.
You can't blame a constant (VTP) for increasing the numbers.

Several years ago, I looked into the possibility of converting a couple of unused warehouses on the east side of 101 to private gym space. I had a group of possible investors too, but what we found is that it would be extremely expensive to build such a space, and few people wanted to pay for the right to use it.
Check out John Paye of Paye's Place -- he is barely staying above water financially with his three courts in San Carlos. His internal charges for court space for both volleyball and basketball are about double what City Beach charges.
Additional gym space is one of those "public goods," and it's too bad that the Garland neighbors prevented another gym from becoming available.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but can kids (or adults) use any of the school gyms during the summer? Another poster says the Paly fields are locked up. Seems a shame for facilities to sit idle.
a resident of Palo Alto
on Jun 11, 2009 at 10:14 pm

I believe some of the gyms may get used for Camps during the summer, but there is not access to the general public. The high school gyms are entirely off limits year round.
The real problem is during the school year, when there are numerous organized leagues, both adult and youth, that are crying for regular gym space in the later afternoons, evenings, and especially weekends. That is the "problem" that needs to be solved.
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Jul 27, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I believe it is very self serving for Paul Losch to lobby for basketball courts. He has been promoting basketball facilities and criticising tennis facilities for years. He should recluse himself from any discussion of athletic facilities.

text: Yesterday I did a complete hive breakdown and in the process i found 2 swarm cells. looked like fangs hangin off the bottom of the frame. So here is what I did. Cleaned brood comb from between and collected brood in cells. Bees were over flowing the top so I thought I would swap places with bottom hive body (med) with the second brood box (deep) to give them more room. I checker boarded a few empty frames of foundation against brood frames (for swarm control). I never found the queen. Found larva, capped brood, and emerging brood. I didn't check much for eggs but confident they were there. Then took the frame (med) with swarm cells and set it aside (no queen). Pulled brood (2) frames 2 honey and some empty comb (from dead out) and placed on top of the hive. All this after I swept the bees off the frames and added a queen excluder. Then left them for the night. I took the brood comb I cleaned out between the frames and disected to look for mites (none seen). This afternoon I pulled the top portion of hives, above the queen excluder, off and set them facing south perpendicular to the original. Put a deep, with drawn comb, on the medium lower box with the swarm cells. To hopefully draw the bees up to have all deep bood boxes. Went back to the original box and shook bees off in to the new hive. Now my goal is to prevent swarming, have all deep frames for brood boxes, start a new hive, and have honey this year I can pull of to sell. Now what? What did I do wrong what did I do right? thank you Doeboy

The Breakers are sitting on cloud nine after tonight's record-breaking win over Wollongong, but next week they face the one side capable of bringing them back down to earth.
With their gruelling summer schedule coming to a successful end, the Breakers (17-3) will take their nine-game winning streak into Friday night's encounter with Perth (13-4) _ a team that has handed the defending champions two of their three defeats this season.
Whether the Breakers can increase their club-record to 10 straight victories at Vector Arena remains to be seen - but, for now, they can reflect on an incredible month-long stretch.
That stretch was capped with a 91-74 victory at the Sandpit tonight, as the Breakers showed few signs of fatigue from Thursday night's win over Sydney in what was their eighth games in 30 days.
It was the two clubs' third meeting in three weeks and by far the most comprehensive, with the Breakers determined to celebrate their record streak in style.
The North Shore club clinched the previous two clashed by a combined three points, but a commanding 23-8 margin in the fourth quarter tonight shook off the Hawks and allowed the Breakers to breathe easy.
The Sandpit may have been something of a graveyard in the past - with the Breakers having won just four of 16 games at the venue heading the clash - but Cedric Jackson's 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds ensured the his side felt right at home.
The zone defence employed by Gordie McLeod usually poses problems for the Breakers, but they had no issues with it early on. CJ Bruton, who made a game-winning three the last time the Breakers went to Wollongong, was especially effective and punished his former team with three triples in quick succession.
Bruton's sharp-shooting helped the Breakers lead 22-19 at quarter-time, before they boosted that buffer to 11 with an 8-0 run in the second. But Wollongong soon embarked on an 8-0 run of their own to bring the deficit back to three.
The remainder of the half turned into something of a personal duel between the point guards, with Adris Deleon - who torched the Breakers with 34 points last week - scoring nine and Jackson managing eight. Jackson had the last laugh, though, as his side went to the major break with a 49-43 lead.
With Wollongong's shooting hovering around 60 per cent midway through the third, it was a credit to the Breakers' defence that they retained a handy advantage. New Zealand were hammering the Hawks on the boards, including a massive margin of 14 on the offensive glass, as the lead swelled to 11 with two minutes remaining in the third.
But those two minutes saw the Hawks make some serious inroads against the Breakers' bench, leaving the game balanced at 68-66 heading to the final period.
The Breakers burst out of the blocks in the fourth on a 16-1 run, however, as Daryl Corletto, Leon Henry and Tom Abercrombie all made huge threes to clinch the game and the record.
Wollongong 74 (Deleon 24, Grant 10, Forman 10)
Breakers 91 (Jackson 18, Henry 14, Abercrombie 11)

All these descriptive phrases are in place to describe the unique feature of Davids rings moving bands stacked on top of a main ring in a free form spinning rings. Davids rings are not just a piece of jewelry; they are much more than that. The rings are playful, jingly, fun, and yes, relief stress as well.
Davids spinner rings are available in an array of metals, textures and colors. They are available in sterling silver, rose-gold, yellow-gold, white-gold, antiqued silver, hammered silver, shiny silver, and much more.
Recently, for many different reasons, more and more people wear Davids spinning rings as wedding bands. Many people are not interested in the traditional wedding bands found at a mall jewelry store. People want something unique that cant be found anywhere, and they want something that expresses their personality and likings. Davids rings are used as both mens wedding bands and womens wedding bands. In many cases, couples match their sterling or two-tone wedding bands. Additionally, David Tishbi offers custom made rings, enhancing people ability to create one of a kind jewelry designs.
Only a few years back, necklaces made up only about 15% of David Tishbis jewelry designs. In the past year, necklaces have become much more prominent in Davids jewelry collection. It is no secret that necklaces are the easiest jewelry category to shop. As opposed to rings, necklaces do not have sizes (in some instances there are longer or shorter chains with or without extensions) which makes it much easier to find and buy. In addition, if you are looking for a gift, you do not need to worry about whether it would fit or not.
Today, most wedding rings and wedding bands are made in silver, gold and platinum. Recently, due to the hike in metal prices, more and more people are rediscovering silver wedding rings or two-tone wedding rings (sterling silver and gold combinations) to reduce the sometimes large cost of rings. In addition, there are much more options available in silver than in gold in terms of design and textures. Most wedding rings, especially for men, tend to be your traditional, mall jewelry stores type of rings. The same holds true for women as well. David Tishbi has been able to position itself as a leading source in designer wedding rings and silver wedding rings for both men and women.
In addition, given that all David Tishbi items are hand-crafted, certain modifications and customizations are available. Feel free to contact us at: 877-384-7424 or firstname.lastname@example.com to find our more information or to discuss any questions you may have.

Town Square
Personal opinion takes precedence over duty
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Jul 4, 2013
Pardon me, but this 4th of July missive will be substantive instead of celebratory.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued several significant rulings in the final two weeks of its term, but the overturning of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 (marriage is between a man and a woman) in California, deservedly received lots of media coverage here.
What's remarkable to me is how few reports and commentaries on Prop. 8 get to the heart of the issue. The court did not rule on the validity of the proposition that was placed on the ballot through the initiative process by citizens. Instead, it ruled on what amounted to a technicality—did the proponents of Prop. 8 have "legal standing" to pursue the defense. The court decided they did not and thus the ruling by the first federal judge that was upheld by the 9th Circuit held.
The entity that had standing was the state of California. Its citizens approved the proposition in the same election that President Obama was elected in 2008—an overwhelming turnout by Democrats and young people. The proposition that marriage was defined as between one man and one woman won with about 52 percent of the vote.
The "out" for the Supreme Court came when Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris decided not to defend the will of the people of California.
To my mind, both of them violated their oath of office to defend the state constitution and instead let their personal views over-ride their responsibility as elected officials.
It was shameful and it is too bad that they were allowed to ignore their duty because of their political preference. Of course, President Obama made the same decision about the federal law that Bill Clinton signed 17 years ago when he was in the office—Obama declined to have the feds defend the law of the land because he disagreed with it.
Do you want a further example of what's wrong with government?
Check out the statement by Kathleen Sebelius, federal secretary of health and human services, when she and the Obama administration ran roughshod over the Catholic Church and its related charities (universities, hospitals, St. Vincent DePaul Society). Obamacare mandates coverage of birth control and the morning-after pill regardless of the moral beliefs of the employers.
Her statement said, "The health care law guarantees millions of women access to recommended preventative services at no cost."
Really. Somebody is going to pay—doctors and drug companies are not giving away their services and products.
It is an attitude that is prevalent in the current administration that the government can mandate programs and nobody has to pay the cost.

Tim, Denying any group of people all the rights conveyed to other groups of people is wrong (my opinion, of course) no matter how many California voters attempted to do it. We've seen these changes before with the end of slavery and giving the right to vote to all.

Praise Jesus! At last someone has the gumption to speak up for the oppressed Christian minority! Tim, you are a credit to heterosexual white Christian males everywhere!
Please, tell us more about what women should be allowed to do with their bodies, and, for the heathens out there, please explain to them why homosexuality is a grievous sin in the sight of the Lord and should be abolished in this Christian nation! By now, hasn't it been irrefutably proven that homosexuality will lead to bestiality and child abuse? Just ask Judge Scalia! And has it not also been proven that a fetus is a full-fledged American citizen with an empirically detectable soul? It's basic science and Constitutional awareness, people!
After all, did Jesus hang out with women and homosexuals? Heck no! He, like all the other disciples as well as his holy Mother, remained pure from the polluting influence of sexual temptation, in accordance with the scriptures. What's more, didn't Jesus tell us not to render unto Caesar our taxes? Didn't he tell us to place Mammon over God? Didn't he tell us how easy it would be for those who valued earthly riches to get into heaven? In other words, Taxed Enough Already! ESPECIALLY when those taxes go to non-white, non-straight, non-Christian, non-males.

I agree that "Denying any group of people all the rights conveyed" to everyone is wrong. Absolutely wrong under the premise of equal protection. In the case of HHS and Sebelius, the Constitution guarantees all the right to free exercise of religion. When a law like Obamacare is passed, no 'rights' are conveyed. So no one, in this case is denied their rights.
Similarly with marriage laws, man cannot convey rights, so the ugly realization now is that government getting in to the (lucrative) business of regulating marriage should not have ever happened. It has given rise to various groups clamoring for the same 'rights' that government purportedly bestows on a man and a woman seeking to get married.
But the plain truth is that government does not bestow that right. They only regulate the process. Now a man and a woman can marry, and in some places a man and a man, or a woman and a woman can also. So the question is out there. What will we do when other groups come looking for the same right? What about a man who wants to marry two women? What about men who want to marry young boys? What about a man or a woman who wants to marry an animal? Shouldn't these groups have 'rights' as well?

Would it be too simple to define marriage as being between one consenting adult and one other consenting adult? It removes all the other options.
What options are there for those people who are religious (but are denied a marriage ceremony in their church as a same sex couple) or for those who are not religious (heterosexual or homosexual) to get married other than some government process?

liberalism is a disease is a registered user.
casanova has correctly pointed out what we minorities (white males) in Calif. have had to deal with: that white Christian people are the lone target that ignorant leftists can discriminate against. Somehow, it's OK to be a bigot when it comes to bashing the group that more than any other is responsible for building this once great country.
Now, it' open season for the weak minded to take pot shots at their superiors in an effort to bring them down to their level.
Casanova, maybe you would be better served to spend more time studying the scriptures you think you know so much about....and learn a thing or two about women, while you're at it.

"It was shameful and it is too bad that they were allowed to ignore their duty..."
What's shameful is that people, such as yourself Mr. Hunt, place your beliefs on everyone else, no matter how they live. I am gay and your beliefs do not effect my life in any way, shape, or form. And the same goes for my beliefs; they do not effect your life.
This whole marriage is a religious, sacred event between a man and woman is bull. Marriage began before Christianity was even invented and took place between groups of men and women, before evolving to marriages between a MAN and his many women just to keep his blood line going.
One event would be amazing to witness: if a Proposition was to be put on a ballot that would over turn Prop 8, I believe that it would pass with flying gay colors. Times are changing, just as they did in the early 1900's for women, and us gay people, lesbians, transgenders, bisexual- anyone that doesn't fit in the heterosexual, Christian lifestyle- will not be going anywhere.

Hilarious, that you fruits can ignore centuries of human history and/or attempt to rewrite history to fit your perverted agenda. One thing you mentioned is definitely true....you're not going anywhere. Good luck trying to change the process of procreation as you make yourselves extinct.

PToWN94566, you are absolutely wrong. Your beliefs have affected peoples lives. A segment of our 'elected' officials refusing to uphold their oath to office and the constitution of our state, in effect, to appease a segment of their voting/reelection constituency, does affect our lives in the way new laws are passed or existing laws ignored. (These officials, by law, should be punished and removed from office.)
By your reasoning, if an elected sheriff or judge refused to prosecute or dismissed a case of a hate crime committed against any group of people, that is perfectly legal and reasonable. But, we know it is not. It is their duty, by law, to uphold existing laws and the constitution of our state, and not pick and choose because of their personal beliefs.
We have a system to change laws and/or our state constitution. The backers of Prop 8 went through the entire process and the 'citizens' of the state voted to change our constitution. But, typical by their nature, a small group of liberals cried foul, even though it was done correctly and legally.
You claim that a proposition to overturn Prop 8 , if put on the ballot, would pass with ease. Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. So why didn't the opponents of Prop 8 pursue that channel? Because they knew they had judges in California who were sympathetic to their cause, and would neglect their oath to office too. And, that it would probably take more years than they wanted to actually get it to pass.
So please, don't tell me your views don't affect anyone. They have and always will, in the elected officials who wish to continue to get your vote.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Hello all,
I am new (5 years) to beekeeping and also candle making. I did already find answers right here to some of my questions. I have made some 3" wide pillar candles with beeswax using #60 wicking. The candles just won't stay lit. They just burn down the center a little and then drown in the wax. I have ordered some new wick after reading about the square braid type of wick in different sizes to see if that helps. The wax is nice and clean. I melted it several times in water to get out the gunk. Any ideas as to what may be wrong. Thanks.
Pat in WI

Al nostro arrivo menelaos è venuto a prenderci e ci ha avvisato di un cambio di appartamento, ci ha sistemati ad Atene anziché vouliagmeni, ma tutto sommato ci siamo trovati molto bene lo stesso, anzi l'appartamento alternativo era anche più grande di quello prenotato. Il tutto allo stesso prezzo ovviamente. Ci ha fornito lenzuola asciugamani mancava qualche sciocchezza tipo sapone e carta ma come detto sono sciocchezze, l appartamento era abbastanza pulito e ben arredato. Mentre ci accompagnava al nostro appartamento ci ha anche fatto fare un giro turistico della zona spiegandoci le varie località e i posti da visitare. Menelaos è una persona molto simpatica e loquace, consiglio vivamente questo soggiorno.
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
A very friendly host who was extremly intressted in his guests. He waited us with fruits and a lot of advise and suggestions. He solved all our problems with elegance.
For some reasons we got another flat than we ordered but the location of the new flat was perfect for us - 5 minutes to subwaystation from where we could reach whatever we wanted. Restaurangs and a grocery were close to us. We were pleased.
A suggestion to improvement is to look over the endowment of the kitchen. The host is 10 and the flat is 8.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Menelaos is a good host he always is ready if you need something.
The apartment was comfortable, clean and you have all you need.
The bad point you have not internet wifi but the rest it was good.
thanks Menalaos keep in touch.
I had a pleasant stay in an exellent environment.
--sofa bed in addition to futon bed
--balcony – no view, but nice to sit outside on
--safe, residential part of town
--internet café across street, convenient for confirming airline reservation
--Menelaos's friend who let us in and explained the features of the apt. was very helpful
--very reasonably priced
--Menelaos had turned off his cell, and so we upon our arrival we had to wait around quite a bit before we were able to contact him
--the neighborhood is often noisy in the evening
--it a bit far from everything unless you are a good walker (12 minutes to Evangelismos metro; 20-25 minutes to Plaka)
--no coffee maker
--no microwave, but wasn't missed b/c of good cookware
--there is an iron, but no alarm clock
I try to be honest, Meneleaos is a good owner, helpful and speaks a good italian.
But during the reservation I EXPRESSLY asked for the apartment near the subway station (Antinoros), with the reassurance of Menelaos... only to discover at the arrive that we would be moved to another apartment in Imittou, paying also for the taxi.
(Only the following day we discovered there's a bus stop - line 2 - near the street).
Not an example of seriousness.
However, the apartment is good, large, modern equipped with any appliances (not Wi-Fi, other negative point), though the presence of mirrors everywhere could be a little bit disturbing.
There is also a LIDL supermarket, precisely in front of the apartment, very good prices, fast foods and others... though the area seems a little bit abandoned, commercially speaking.
That's all, my suggestion is to be careful if you're looking for something near the subway station, like me.
We can actually comment on the apartment in Iliados street since we stayed there and not in Kononos90 that we initially chose: Apartment is big and functional, located in a safe and calm neighborhood. There is a bus stop (we preferred to walk:15-20 min till the old Olympic stadium), supermarket and until late working kiosk in the street. Mr. Rokas is caring host and we wish him luck, with his coworkers in particular and all the best in the future.
it was very good. very nice place and near Akropolis and the principal visiting sites.
Menelaos is very sympathic and helpfull.
if i have to go again in Greece, i know who i can ask.
very beautiful small appartement. cosy, lovely and fresh in hot weather . close to the metro, it is situated in à quiet street right down lycabette hill.
i recommend strongly

Tofu-phobic? This Tofu Parmigiana will change your mind!
By Jessie Price, March 4, 2009 - 3:36am

I made this last night and had leftovers for lunch today. I could hardly wait for lunch! It was the best meal I've had all year. My bread crumbs stayed on in most spots, but I really pressed them on to tofu that had been pressed for a couple of hours (put on a plate with a plate over it and top it with something heavy to get the liquid out). The fresh basil was great. I also added some fresh rosemary. It looked and tasted great. I served with salad and had a meal at 400 calories. Add bread, and you are still at 500. I will make this again and again!

I thought this was a great alternative to traditional Italian lasagna, especially if you grew up eating Italian food your whole life like me. While its not quite the same as good old fashioned lasagna prepared by mom, this is definitely the best your going to get using tofu. It's a little different preparing as well then regular lasagna, however using a tofu press I bought from tofuxpress was very helpful in preparation. Good recipe!!

I just cooked tofu for the first time today for lunch and it turned out horrible! I tried to substitute items I didn't have and I guess I messed it up royally. BUT, I am still going to learn how to cook it (the right way). I am tackling "Tofu Parmigiana" tonight for dinner. Lets see what happens!

Really yummy, even my dad and boyfriend liked it, and they are "meat and potatoes" people. My only problem was that the bread crumbs do not stick to the tofu--but they do stick to the pan. Even with a non-stick pan, though, the bread crumbs just slide right off the tofu. Great flavor! And healthy.

text: Hey guys, go figure soon as I register to ask some questions about my C/K my S10 has issues. So no headlights and no turn signals. I check every fuse in the dash and they were all fine. I couldn't find a fuse box under the hood. The only thing I found was a terminal on the drivers side fender that had several wires with what looked like in-line fuses. Is this correct. Any help is appreciated.
