House of Moses
Mission Statement
The House of Moses exists to develop High School students, who have been given up by their parents/families, holistically as leaders for a purposeful reentry into their culture.
A leader is someone who influences a group of people toward the achievement of their goals.
Holistic development includes:
- Spiritual development
- Emotional development
- Physical Development
- Cognitive Development
Spiritual Development is achieved through weekly discipleship, accountability, and attending church together as a family.
Emotional Development is achieved through purposeful interaction, house parents being tuned into feelings, modeling of healthy interpersonal interactions by the house parents, and teaching students to deal with success, defeat and conflict in a healthy way.
Physical Development is achieved through the provision and modeling of personal hygiene, access to clean water, weekly exercise, and nutritionally balanced meals.
Cognitive Development is achieved in attending school, tutors, learning English, reading books, and teaching and modeling of problem solving skills.
Core Scriptures driving House of Moses:
- Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people. Luke 2:52
- Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28: 19-20
- Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. Proverbs 22:6
- Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27
- Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37,39
- Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Why "House of Moses?"
As all the future residents of HoM will be students that haven been given up by their parents/families, so was Moses given up by his parents in the Bible. Early on you see his mom placing him by the Nile River. Pharaoh's wife discovers Moses and eventually he is given as Pharaoh's son. As time progressed he was led into the desert where God spoke to him in a "burning bush" where He tells Moses "I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." (Exodus 3:10) Through a time of struggle of obedience he did the very thing God called him to.
As Moses was called and developed by God to lead His people out of bondage, we too believe that each resident at the HoM will do the same for their fellow Haitians. Through the purposeful holistic development of each resident, in prayer and God's grace, each graduating resident, in obedience, will develop leaders within their life journey as a follower of Christ.
House of Moses from entry to exit
12 residents are chosen from applicants to reside at the HoM. The Board of Directors alongside the house parents will help determine the 12 residents. All residents must be in high school. Before entering, each resident must agree by signing the HoM covenant. Upon entry, each resident begins developing their Individual Holistic Development Plan (IHDP) alongside the HoM house parents. New residents will enter HoM at the beginning of August if there is a spot available. Each resident at the HoM will be developed holistically (spiritually, emotionally, physically, cognitively) as a leader for reentry into their culture. Each resident will no longer be labeled an orphan but part of a family. As a family member, each resident will be responsible for daily chores and responsibilities around the house. By December of the resident's senior year they will have applied to colleges (if applicable), have an apprenticeship, or be in pursuit of a small business loan. Upon graduation, each resident must move from HoM by the end of August.
House of Moses' Goals for each resident
- Each resident will be discipled and will disciple others.
- Each resident will attend school and achieve success based upon their abilities.
- Each resident will be involved in development of community.
- Each resident will have their own Individual Holistic Development Plan (IHDP).
- Each resident will graduate from High School.
- Each resident, upon reentry, will attend college, have a job, begin an apprenticeship, or start their own business.

Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Drought-tolerant plants that are non-toxic to dogs
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am looking for drought-tolerant native plants non-poisonious to dogs. We are putting gardens in an area the dog has access to, and she likes to sample the darndest things. South side of the house, close to the slab. Light 6+ hours/day. Nothing too tall - 2'-3' max for the base. Will be in a gravel topped (rock) garden. Some succulents would be nice. A few possibilities I gleaned from your website are listed, but I don't know if they are poisonious to the dog: Blackfoot daisy; Texas creeping-oxeye; Texas sacahuista; Red yucca; Texas yucca; Prairie verbena; Heartleaf rosemallow (hibiscus); Mealy blue sage; and any salvia. Thank you for your suggestions.
You have made some excellent choices with:
Melampodium leucanthum (plains blackfoot)
Wedelia texana (Texas creeping oxeye)
Nolina texana (Texas sacahuista)
Hesperaloe parviflora (redflower false yucca)
Glandularia bipinnatifida var. bipinnatifida (Prairie verbena)
Hibiscus martianus (heartleaf rosemallow)
Salvia farinacea (mealycup sage)
Here are some more possibilities:
Oenothera macrocarpa ssp. macrocarpa (bigfruit evening-primrose)
Tetraneuris scaposa var. scaposa (stemmy four-nerve daisy)
Chrysactinia mexicana (damianita)
Dalea frutescens (black prairie clover)
Pavonia lasiopetala (Texas swampmallow)
Salvia coccinea (blood sage) is listed specifically on the ASPCA list as non-toxic.
There are several databases to consult for plant toxicity. The ASPCA has a list specific to dogs, Toxic and Non-toxic Plant List—Dogs. There are several others that we use, as well:
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
Cornell University Plants Poisonous to Livestock
University of Pennsylvania Poisonous Plants
Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System
On the ASPCA list I found these plants: 1) Yucca spp. are on the list indicating that all species of Yucca should be avoided around dogs. 2) Hibiscus syriacus (a non-native) is on the list, but not the native one you chose, H. martianus. None of the other databases listed any members of these genera as being toxic so you will have to use your own judgement as to whether or not to plant the yucca or the hibiscus. Only one database, Toxic Plants of Texas, had a species of Salvia listed and that was Salvia reflexa (lanceleaf sage), a sage that grows in western Texas. Of course, just because a plant doesn't appear on any of the databases isn't a guarantee that it might not be slightly toxic to your puppy, but it does make it more likely that the puppy won't become ill from eating or chewing on a small amount of the plant.
You can check the Texas—Central Recommended list for other possibilities and check them against the toxic plant databases listed above. It's best to use the botanical name for checking the toxicity since the botanical name is more consistently reliable than the common name.
Here are photos from our Image Gallery of the new ones I have suggested:

The Letter of Marque (1988)
by Patrick O'Brian
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Once again, beautiful vignettes from daily life seamlessly used together to paint another enchanting picture of Aubrey and Maturin. This time they are struggling to cope with the fall out from Jack's dismissal from the Navy following his conviction for a stock market fraud he did not commit. Jack and the people who love him strive to put right the wrong, sailing the Surprise as a private ship, a letter of marque, seeking above all an engagement with the French or the American navy that would provide sufficient impetus for the admiralty to restore him to the Navy list. Wonderful, wonderful stuff as always.
After being falsely accused and convicted of a complicated investment scheme, Jack Aubrey has been cast out of the service. He's been in the Royal Navy nearly all of his life, and the separation breaks his heart. In hopes of moderating his misery, his particular friend Stephen Maturin buys the Surprise and secures a letter of marque for the ship. Aubrey can captain the Surprise once more, but this time as a privateer. It is acutely painful to him, but leads to one of his greatest professional triumphs. Stephen, meanwhile, finally meets face-to-face with Diana once more.
Everything about this book was beautiful and perfect and much-longed for. The only flaw was that the voice the narrator gives Diana Villiers is cloying and fake, and it nearly ruined my enjoyment of her scenes with Stephen. But not quite, for nothing could take away my adoration for the slow, weird ways they reconcile with each other.
I'm returning to this series after a very long break, and I'm glad that I did. It's possible, after all, to read books wrong, which can end up spoiling the book for reasons that are nothing to do with the book itself. In the case of the Aubrey/Maturin series, the uniformity of their excellence in terms of writing, their largely character-driven, relatively shapeless novelistic plotting compared poorly, I thought, to the more intricate, complex and subtle mechanisms of Dorothy Dunnett. Of course, that's the wrong approach. They don't suffer in comparison at all. They are completely different animals. To read them for the thrill of clever plot twists that have been deviously woven into eight massive volumes is both pointless and a bit stupid, and I'm glad now that I've achieved this perspective, because the pleasures of O'Brian's novels are in some ways richer than Dunnett's, for all that Dunnett will always edge out O'Brian as one of my favourite writers.
Jack Aubrey is in a sorry state at the start of The Letter Of Marque, struck off the naval lists after a trumped-up charge, he is morose, short-tempered and depressed. Stephen Maturin has purchased The Surprise, however, and with the titular letter and a crew half of old naval hands and half of doughty pirates, they set out to restore Jack's fortunes.
The aforementioned uniformity of excellence of these novels tends to render each succeeding novel susceptible to accusations of sameness. Certainly there is progression. Each book is a chapter in the ongoing history of our heroes' friendship and careers. They age and change in circumstances and temperament. There are voyages, there are battles, there are some exchanges of intelligence, observations of flora and fauna, and occasional visits to hearth and home and family, where Jack can blunder cheerfully and Stephen can mope for his estranged wife. The story develops, the characters grow, the world opens up around them, a world so fully and perfectly realised that we come to understand that what we mistook for sameness is, in fact, recognition and comfort and familiarity. Each book gives exactly what it sets out to give, and so long as we don't mistake it for something it's not, we can fully enjoy them in all their warmth and generosity. For all love.
In which Aubrey and Maturin take command of the HMS Surprise, newly become a privateer. With letters of marque courtesy of Blaine, they assemble a crew and prepare for a mission to the South Americas. First, however, there remains work closer to home: the continued frustrations created by French Intelligence within the Admiralty, and opportunities for engaging the French in the Mediterranean. An abiding question: whether Aubrey's misfortunes will dilute his leadership now he is without the Royal Navy tradition.
Events close in Summer 1913? These are days between stations: still intending for South America on intelligence mission, but first seek prizes in South Atlantic and Mediterranean, and then diverted to Riga and Sweden.
Militarily: A complete sweep and return to fortune. Surprise first takes Merlin, consort to Spartan, thus learning of latter's plans against Azul. "Lord Nelson's Bridge" manoeuvre wins both Azul and Spartan, subsequently coaxing Spartan's prizes out of harbour with Merlin pretending to be consort still. Later, a cutting out of Diane and two French gunboats plus two merchantmen from St Martin's (an action which seems based in historical events). Again O'Brian plays with names: here, the Diane foreshadowing events later with Villiers.
Politically: Duhamel dies escaping to Canada; Blaine is again head of Naval Intelligence, though Wray & Ledward avoid capture and "someone high up in Admiralty" remains sympathetic. Schuyler: "However, papers found at Wray's house implicate him in the stock scandal so that it is now obvious to all that Jack was set up." Stephen captures Paul Ségora aka Red Admiral during the Diane expedition, but Ségora later escapes disguised as woman.
Domestically: situations for both Jack and Stephen change dramatically.
● Stephen inherits his godfather's considerable fortune, and purchases Surprise to ensure he and Jack may continue their South America venture; Padeen's addiction after injury in gunnery practise, leading to Stephen's unwitting weaning from laudanum; and, reconciled with Diana in Sweden, though at considerable injury. Briefly stranded on Old Scratch.
● The prizes and attendant actions propagate a sea change for Jack, in money, legal problems, naval career. Initially offered a "pardon" but is offended at the underhanded suggestion by Soames at a party of Blaine's; and, Gen Aubrey is found dead in a ditch, with Jack inheriting Woolcombe and put up for county seat by Cousin Edward. Jack promises to support Navy in Parliament and "be mild", in exchange for reinstatement.
Together with Reverse of the Medal, marks a watershed in Jack & Stephen's joint adventures. Conceivably the next book is actually the 3rd in this mini-series, with the South America mission finally taking center stage.
Finally, Aubrey and Maturin have a stretch of (almost) unmitigated good luck.

Soon the Surprise is off to sea, on a mission that Aubrey hopes will redeem his good name. The author's grasp of period detail is astonishing as ever--and so is his gift for pure entertainment.

For family members, alcoholism causes a progressive inability to predict their own behaviour because of the growing pre-occupation with and reaction to another person's drinking. Generally speaking, if a person wonders whether alcoholism is the problem, it probably is.
Family members need to hear that the emotions they feel are a normal reaction to alcoholism.
Frequently, they experience a free-floating but persistent fear. They are afraid of the alcoholic's reactions and are prepared to settle for "peace at any price".
They worry about bills, accidents and job losses (the alcoholic's and, in some cases, their own).
As they attempt to deal with the unpredictable irrational behaviour of the drinker, they become confused and increasingly guilty and pre-occupied. As their lives become compulsively centered on trying to get the alcoholic to stop drinking through unsuccessful attempts to manipulate and control, most of their actions only enable the alcoholic to continue the drinking. Family members are caught in a cycle of repetitive non-helpful behaviour that leaves them frustrated, angry and alone. They feel helpless and hopeless.

Chicago (AFP) Jan 29, 2013
A US judge on Tuesday approved a $4.5 billion deal in which BP pleaded guilty to criminal charges from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill -- but the British energy giant's legal woes are far from over.
BP is set to return to the Louisiana courthouse on February 25 for a mammoth trial consolidating scores of remaining lawsuits stemming from the worst environmental disaster to strike the United States.
It must also still resolve a civil case on environmental fines which could amount to as much as $18 billion if gross negligence is found. It also remains on the hook for billions in economic damages, including the cost of environmental rehabilitation.
The blowout on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on April 20, 2010 killed 11 people and unleashed some 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, blackening beaches in five states and crippling the region's tourism and fishing industries.
BP America vice president Luke Keller apologized to the families of the deceased and other victims at the hearing in New Orleans.
"Our guilty plea makes clear, BP understands and acknowledges its role in that tragedy, and we apologize -- BP apologizes -- to all those injured and especially to the families of the lost loved ones," Keller said according to a statement provided by BP.
"BP is also sorry for the harm to the environment that resulted from the spill, and we apologize to the individuals and communities who were injured."
It took 87 days to cap BP's runaway well located 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the ocean surface and about 40 miles (65 km) off the coast of Louisiana.
BP pleaded guilty in November to 11 counts of manslaughter, one count of felony obstruction of Congress and two environmental violations.
The guilty plea led the Environmental Protection Agency to temporarily bar the British energy giant from entering into any new government contracts, from supplying oil to the military to obtaining the right to explore new tracts of land and ocean.
"While BP's discussions with the EPA have been taking place in parallel to the Court proceedings on the criminal plea, the company's work toward reaching an administrative agreement with the EPA is a separate process, and it may take some time to resolve issues relating to such an agreement," BP said.
BP has signaled it will continue to aggressively pursue damages from rig operator Transocean and well operations subcontractor Halliburton, which BP blames for faulty work leading up to the blowout.
Judge Carl Barbier -- an expert in maritime law charged with overseeing the bulk of the cases -- has left the door open to some shared liability in key pre-trial rulings.
Several government probes have already castigated BP, Transocean and Halliburton -- which was responsible for the well's faulty cement job -- for cutting corners and missing crucial warning signs.
Transocean agreed last month to pay a $1.4 billion fine and plead guilty to violating the Clean Water Act, but it argues that, as operator, BP must accept full liability for the disaster.
BP has spent more than $14 billion on the spill response and cleanup, set up a $20 billion trust fund to cover claims for damages and committed $1 billion to early restoration projects.
It has already paid out more than $9 billion to individuals, businesses and government entities impacted by the spill.
Barbier approved a $7.8 billion settlement last year that will cover the bulk of the outstanding private claims for economic loss, property damage and medical problems.
He must still determine how to resolve lawsuits filed by shareholders or others seeking compensation because of a drilling moratorium imposed after the spill, among other outstanding issues.
Meanwhile, three former BP employees have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges related to the disaster.
Two supervisors on the rig at the time rejected manslaughter charges, saying they were being treated as scapegoats, and a senior BP executive at the time denied he obstructed justice by lying about the volume of oil leaking from the runaway well.

KIRK BAXTER is in elite company. The Sydney-raised film editor heads to the Academy Awards today with his third nomination in four years.
Having been to the Oscars first for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he won last year for The Social Network and is back with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
It's a record topped in Australia's rich Oscars history only by Russell Crowe, who had three consecutive nominations from 2000 to 2002, including a win for Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
Baxter, 40, has joined the Hollywood big time after years editing commercials in London and New York.
He then moved to Los Angeles to work with leading director David Fincher. Having started as associate editor on Zodiac, Baxter joined Angus Wall in editing for Fincher and has three Oscar nominations from three movies since.
His career started when he dropped out of Sydney's Pittwater High School at 17. ''What really changed the course of my life was a program at my high school of work experience,'' Baxter says.
''I did one in year 11 with a production company and I got to go on a shoot and experience all aspects of filmmaking doing a commercial.
''I absolutely adored it. I remember digging around to see if a position would be available and they said they'd love to have me … I was just ready to get going.''
With a northern beaches heritage - he grew up ''everywhere from Bayview to Palm Beach'' - Baxter was not going to let the Oscars prevent a morning surf. ''It'll be in Santa Monica, so it'll only be close-out junk slop [poor surf], but I'll get one in,'' he says.
''Then I'll put on a suit. Hopefully I'll get time for a haircut.''
Baxter is about to work with Fincher again on the American TV series House of Cards, then possibly a remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
''Fincher is the leader and I'm helping him,'' he says. ''He's a masterful filmmaker and I think that's going to become more apparent in later years, just how technically excellent he is … I'm riding his wave.''
Baxter joins Grant Hill, who produced best picture contender The Tree of Life, as Australia's nominees at the Oscars this year.
His chances of winning? ''I don't think they're very good,'' he says. ''The year that we won, we won the BAFTA and we won the American Cinema Editors leading up to the Oscars.
''This year we didn't get nominated for a BAFTA and we didn't win the American Cinema Editors. They're the biggest signs.''
Baxter expects the French silent film The Artist to win for best editor but is not sure about best picture. ''If I made my assessments based on movies that I watched, I loved The Descendants and I really enjoyed Moneyball.''
The Artist, $1.05; The Descendants, $13; Hugo, $21; The Help, $34; War Horse, Moneyball, $67; Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Midnight in Paris, The Tree of Life, $101.
Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist), $1.10; Martin Scorsese (Hugo), $5.50; Alexander Payne (The Descendants), $34; Terrence Malick ( Tree of Life), $51; Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris), $67.
Viola Davis (The Help), $1.40; Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady), $2.75; Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn), $26; Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), $51.

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 05, 2010
Astronomers have uncovered evidence that a massive, explosive white dwarf star in a binary star system with a Sun-like star in our Milky Way Galaxy is growing in mass and is much closer to our solar system than previously thought.
The report is being presented by Drs. Edward M. Sion, Patrick Godon and student Timothy McClain of Villanova University at the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, DC.
This result is of special interest because it may shed light on the still unidentified type of stellar objects that explode as Type Ia supernovae, the kind of supernova which has been used to demonstrate that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
The close binary system T Pyxidis, located in the southern hemisphere constellation Pyxis ("the Compass Box"), is known as a recurrent nova because its massive white dwarf star has suffered thermonuclear (nova) explosions approximately every 20 years with its previous recorded nova explosions occurring in 1890, 1902, 1920, 1944 and 1967, making it 44 years overdue for its next thermonuclear explosion. Nobody understands why it is has stopped its thermonuclear explosions.
The thermonuclear explosions are triggered by hydrogen-rich gas transferred to the white dwarf star by the very close Sun-like star. An extremely important unanswered question about such close binary stars is whether the mass receiving white dwarf continually grows in mass despite the nova explosions or decreases in mass because the nova explosions eject more mass from the white dwarf than it accumulates from the Sun-like star.
If the mass of the white dwarf in such a binary star system increases with time, then it will eventually reach the so-called Chandrasekhar Limit and will undergo instantaneous gravitational collapse resulting in an unimaginably powerful thermonuclear detonation which completely destroys the white dwarf and leaves no stellar remnant such as a pulsar (i.e., spinning neutron star) or a black hole.
This catastrophic event, known as a Type Ia supernova (or "white dwarf supernova"), releases ten million times more energy than a nova explosion or is equivalent to twenty billion, billion, billion megatons of TNT.
The Villanova team analyzed far ultraviolet spectra of T Pyxidis obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer spacecraft and modeled the spectra for the first time with state of the art theoretical models of accretion disks and white dwarf atmospheres.
They found that the radiation emitted by a luminous accretion disk enshrouding the white dwarf dominates the light emitted by the system but that the system is at a distance within only 1,000 parsecs (3,260 light years) which is far closer to our solar system than anyone previously thought.
The theoretical model which best matches the observed spectra corresponds to a white dwarf very close to the Chandrasekhar Limit, an orbital tilt to our line of sight of 18 degrees and a rate of mass accretion by the white dwarf of 2 x 10^17 grams/second (3 x 10^-9 solar masses/year) but the distance of the system must be less than 1,000 parsecs.
The closer distance makes the disk less luminous, the accretion rate is lower and the white dwarf mass even closer to the Chandrasekhar limit.
The closer distance means that the ejected nova shells imaged by Hubble have smaller masses than previously thought which makes them consistent with the small amount of accreted mass needed to trigger a thermonuclear explosion on a massive white dwarf.
This is extremely important because it would mean the white dwarf mass is increasing with time, NOT decreasing. If the mass of the ejected shells was greater than the mass accumulated by the white dwarf, then the white dwarf would decrease its mass with time and not become a supernova by reaching the Chandrasekhar Limit.
An interesting, if a bit scary, speculative sidelight is that if a Type Ia supernova explosion occurs within 1,000 parsecs (1 parsec = 3.26 light-years) of Earth, then the gamma radiation emitted by the supernova would fry the Earth, dumping as much gamma radiation (~100,000 ergs/square centimeter) into our planet, which is equivalent to the gamma ray input of 1,000 solar flares simultaneously.
The production of nitrous oxides in Earth's atmosphere by the supernova's gamma rays would completely destroy the ozone layer if the supernova went off within 1,000 parsecs.

"Sound & Spirit is a rich, sensual and spirited hour of music and words from around the world and through the ages," Kushner said. The show blends classical, traditional and world music with commentary from composers, theologians and writers to provide a spiritual journey through music.
"The purpose of the show is to take common human experiences and figure out how cultures of the world handle them," Kushner explained. She said her background as a fantasy writer helped her formulate the program, which looks at a combination of spirituality, philosophy and myth.
Every 60-minute show deals with a different subject; In a program called Drummers' Circle, Kushner looks at the origins of traditional drumming, talks with Mickey Hart (longtime percussionist for the Grateful Dead), and samples music from India, China, Japan, the Americas and West Africa, places where myth and ritual have spanned centuries to the beat of the drums. Another program, called Sacred Spaces, looks at the spiritual power of a Gothic cathedral or a rain-forest clearing.
Kushner has been at Boston-based WGBH radio station since 1987. She has hosted an overnight classical music show, a Sunday afternoon world music show, and award-winning specials on Passover and Jewish high holidays. Her national radio debut came in 1989 as the irreverent writer and host of the Nakamichi International Music Series of classical concert music distributed weekly by PRI. "I'm the kind of person who breaks rules," she said. "Classical music is not surgery, and I tried to be informal and chatty. I'm not making fun of it, but you don't have to shine your shoes to listen to it."

Frisby lakes
Boys pit
The boys pit is a very intimate lake with loads of featured such as islands, bars, lilies, deep channels and a couple of weedbeds. The boys pit is known mainly as the pleaser lake, but does hold a mass of specimen fish. It is a great tench water with the chance of building up a good bag of tench averaging 4ib to 6ib. The boys pit also holds some phenomenal curican fishing to be had, with many fish being had over 3ib.
There are carp in the lake that run into upper twenties. Although not as well know as the main lake for its carp, this lake has the same potential of throwing up a very big surprise. The lake has also a healthy stocking of pike. The pike in the boys pit don't run to the same size as they do in the main lake, but can still offer a great day's predator fishing.
Due to current works being carried out part of the boys pit is currently inaccessible.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Robust herbs include things like bark, cinnamon; grasses, lemongrass; and sap asafoetida. They are used in a wide range of recipes including sweet and savoury.
Chicken breasts are sprinkled with garlic powder and pepper, topped with rosemary, wrapped in bacon then barbecued until cooked through. Too easy to look this fancy.
These muffins are extra large and very delicious. I usually double the recipe. Add extra blueberries too, if you want! Watch this recipe being made in the Allrecipes Blueberry Muffins Video.
The dough for these cinnamon scrolls is easy to prepare in a bread machine. They are wonderful fresh, but don't freeze well.
This recipe was given to me by a friend but i have slightly altered it. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
This hot punch is great for an autumn party or a Christmas in July. It smells just as good as it tastes.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0141 Thursday, 4 April 2013
Date: Thursday, April 4, 2013
Subject: Newsletter Format, SAA, and Adventure
Dear SHAKSPER Subscribers:
I am going to try something different with the format of the daily newsletters.
The latest format for the newsletter is to begin with a heading that includes abbreviated forms of the individual posts or threads in that newsletter.
Then I have something like a table of contents that includes the headings of the postings, followed by the individual postings or the discussion threads with various links to web site versions.
With this newsletter, I am going to change the format of the table of contents sections to give subscribers a visually more pleasing and informative organization.
I am going to organize the table of contents information into larger groups that follow the arrangement of the digest/newsletter and an abbreviation of the heading to include the submitters name followed by the subject of the submission.
I think these changes will make browsing through the newsletters easier and more appealing visually. Let me know what you think of the changes.
I enjoyed myself thoroughly at the SAA. The content of the presentations I attended was stimulating and informative, but what was most stimulating was catching up with so many friends and spending time with them.
My time in Toronto did not end with the conference.
When I started packing on Sunday, I realized that I did not have my passport. I finally figured that I must have lost it at the airport as I was going through customs.
The problem was that it was a holiday weekend in Canada. The person who enters the passports turned in at the airport was off and the US Consulate in Toronto was closed until Tuesday.
I was not expecting the extra expensive of two additional nights at the hotel, airfare, food, and so on, but I was not overly stressed. On Tuesday, I got to the Consulate and was issued an emergency passport to get home and I arrived at home late in the evening at 1:30 am.
Despite the obstacles, I had an enjoyable time and spent yesterday with my two dogs and cockatoo.

This lesson deals with noncurrent assets. Categories of noncurrent assets include:
Plant Assets
Natural Resources
Intangible Assets
The major topics in this lesson are:
Measure the cost of a plant asset;
Compute depreciation, using various methods;
Select the best depreciation method, for financial accounting, or tax purposes;
Account for plant asset disposals;
Account for natural resources;
Account for intangible assets.
A good way to summarize this lesson's material is to think about the life cycle of any asset. An asset is purchased, then it is used for a period of time, and finally the owner disposes of it by sale, retirement or trade-in. From an accounting standpoint, we need to think about the cost of the asset when purchased, the depreciation of the asset while we are using it, and the manner in which we get rid of the asset--which may involve discarding it at a loss or selling it at a profit.
A basic question to ask yourself is: "how do we know what to debit when a cost is incurred?" This may seem like a trivial question, but it isn't. For example, if we pay rent on a building, we debit Rent Expense, but if we buy a building, we debit Building. In the first case, the debit goes to an Owner's Equity account (Rent Expense) which will be reported immediately on the income statement. In the second case, we debit an asset (Building), which will be reported on the balance sheet. How do we know when a cost is an expense (like Rent), and alternatively, when a cost is an asset (like the Building)?
To provide guidance on this question, let us think about what an expense is. Here's a simple definition: "an expense is a cost that expires quickly." Rent is paid on January 1 and the benefit of that cost (a roof over your head) expires during the month of January. Similarly, advertising costs for a newspaper advertisement expire in a very short time--the newspaper advertising is published in the newspaper for a few days, and the newspaper gets recycled. Salaries, likewise are paid to employees each month. The benefit of the employees' work only exists while the employee is on the job. We expense the salaries in the same way as we do rent and advertising, because the benefits of these costs are used up immediately.
An asset, on the other hand, is an asset, because its cost provides future benefits. So, even though we know that a Building wears out over time, it will not wear out completely in the first month of use. An asset can be defined as a cost that will benefit future periods. A building is debited to an asset account (rather than an expense) because of these future benefits.
Land, Buildings and Equipment are examples of assets. When we purchase these assets, the costs to acquire them are capitalized. The term "capitalize" means "debit an asset account", rather than an expense account. We capitalize the costs of buildings and equipment; we don't capitalize the costs of rent and advertising.
The cost of a building may involve a contract cost, refurbishment of plumbing and electrical systems in the building, the payment of back taxes, and the cost of real estate services or attorneys. All of these costs are permanent costs of acquiring the building and making it ready for our usage--and are debited to the Building account. To state this another way, the contract cost, refurbishment costs, payment of back taxes and attorneys' fees are "capitalized." None of these costs are expensed.
Your text points out that a self-constructed asset such as a building has one other capitalized cost--the cost of interest during the construction period. Although we think of interest as an expense, it can be capitalized under the right conditions.
There are four categories of Plant Assets:
Land Improvements
There is much commonality among these four categories regarding accounting issues. You might ask the following questions regarding each category:
What assets does the category include?
How do you determine the cost of assets in this category?
Are the assets in this category depreciable?
To get you started, this table summarizes some of the characteristics of Plant Assets:
A significant portion of this chapter is devoted to depreciation concepts and calculations. Many people are confused about depreciation, because this term is used in colloquial language to refer to a loss in value. The typical example is that of the purchaser of a new car, who drives off the lot and "immediately loses $4,000 due to depreciation."
In financial accounting, depreciation refers something a little different:
the allocation of the asset's cost over its useful life. Example: A piece of
equipment is purchased for $10,000 and is expected to last 10 years, with no salvage value. The depreciation
schedule for this asset, assuming straight line depreciation, would require
the following adjusting entry at the end of each year:
From the standpoint of the general ledger (at the end of year 1), the depreciation entry would have the following effect:
Consider each of the following points:
The debit to Depreciation Expense reduces Net Income;
The credit to Accumulated Depreciation Equipment reduces the book value of the asset. After the depreciation entry for year 1, the book value for the asset = $9,000 (asset cost minus Accumulated Depreciation). After the tenth year of depreciation, the book value will be $10,000-10,000 or zero. If the asset continues in use for the company, the book value will continue to be 0, and no further depreciation can be taken.
Cash is not affected by the depreciation entry. Depreciation is considered a non-cash expense. The Cash account is included in the diagram above only to point out that it is not used in this type of transaction. In addition, depreciation does not "create a fund for replacing the asset." If a fund were being created, Cash would be increasing, wouldn't it?
The fact that Depreciation Expense reduces Net Income, and income tax is based on Net Income may result in a tax saving by virtue of the depreciation entry.
The book value of the asset may be far different from the asset's fair market value. In the example above, the asset's book value at year 1 is $9,000. The asset may really be worth $15,000 or $3,000 on the open market. Depreciation is a cost allocation concept, not an estimate of fair value.
There are three depreciation methods described in your text:
Straight Line Depreciation -- the depreciation amount is equal each year;
Units of Activity-- depreciation is based on asset's productivity rather than time passage--for example we could use the miles driven this year as the measure of a truck's productivity;
Declining Balance -- an accelerated method which uses a fixed percentage of the asset's declining book value each year.
In order to calculate depreciation, you need three things:
The asset's cost;
The asset's expected salvage value, which is the amount that the asset can be sold for at the end of its useful life;
The number of years of useful life.
Keep in mind that the depreciation entry is usually performed as an adjustment
at the end of an accounting period. The depreciation entry is as follows, and as stated earlier, reduces net income and also reduces the book value of the asset:
In addition to recording depreciation at the end of each accounting period, a depreciation entry would be made at the moment that an asset is sold, retired, or traded in. Example: Johnson Company purchased a $10,000 truck that is estimated to last 10 years with no salvage value. On December 31 of each year, Johnson will record depreciation of $1,000. Suppose this process continues for 8 years, resulting in $8,000 of Accumulated Depreciation. Then, on July 1 of the 9th year, Johnson sells the truck. In order to correctly calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the asset, Johnson must record 1/2 year of depreciation on the date of sale. Debit Depreciation Expense and credit Accumulated Depreciation for $500. The Accumulated Depreciation is now $8,500, reflecting 8.5 years of use.
The text examples are quite clear in depicting the depreciation calculations for the various methods. It will help you greatly if you keep in mind the following definitions while you are studying depreciation:
An asset's book value equals the asset cost minus Accumulated Depreciation. If the cost is $10,000 and accumulated depreciation is $3,000, the book value is $7,000.
An asset's depreciable cost equals the asset cost minus salvage value. Tony purchases a truck with cost of $20,000 and salvage value of $4,000. The depreciable cost would be $16,000.
For management purposes, it is wise to consider the pattern of depreciation that results from each depreciation method. Straight line depreciation provides an equal depreciation amount each year. This is like saying that the same amount of wear-and-tear or obsolescence occurs each year that the asset is used. Note: straight line depreciation is the most often-used method of depreciation, probably because it is the most well-understood method.
The Declining Balance method is considered an "accelerated" method of depreciation because there is more depreciation on the asset in the earlier years. This translates to higher depreciation expense in the earlier years, and a reduced net income. The reduced net income can reduce federal income taxes. However, most managers are in business to maximize net income for the benefit of owners or stockholders.
The Units of Activity method of depreciation has one particular strength: the depreciation expense is directly correlated with the usage of the asset. This method would be desirable if you are trying to determine the cost of a manufactured product--the depreciation would be figured based on the number of units produced by the asset.
As you probably have surmised, sometimes our careful estimation of useful life may be in error. An asset may wear out prematurely or last longer than management intended. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles classify depreciation as an estimate. Estimates are a necessary aspect of accounting, and run counter to the public's perception of an accountant being a meticulous "bean-counter". Depreciation can be revised from time to time, as long as the revision is carried out in the current period or future periods. The basic method is to take the revised remaining depreciable cost (less salvage value) and spread it out over the revised remaining useful life.
Repairs, Additions, and Improvements all involve spending money on a plant asset. Here is a brief distinction among the three items:
1. A repair maintains the operational efficiency of the asset. For example, if a machine is repaired, that repair just restores the machine to its original capability. The entry would be:
2. An addition "adds" to the productive capacity of the asset. Johnson Consulting enlarges its office to include a new meeting room, or installs a lift on a truck. In either case, an asset account is debited:
3. An improvement or extraordinary repair is more significant than just repairing the asset. The key question is whether the expenditure increases the useful life of the asset. If so, some of the Accumulated Depreciation may be taken off, as follows:
If the improvement does not result in an increase in useful life, account for it as an addition; that is, debit the asset account. In comparing the handling of expenditures for assets, note that a repair expense goes directly to the income statement, whereas additions and improvements add to the cost of the asset.
Sooner or later, various plant assets are disposed of. In this section, you should focus upon the book value of the asset at the time of disposal. It is the book value (Asset cost minus Accumulated Depreciation) that is compared to assets received, if any, to determine if a gain or loss occurred. Methods of plant asset disposal are:
Sale of the Asset -- Cash or other assets will be received;
Retirement of the Asset -- the Asset is discarded or thrown away and nothing is received;
Exchange of the Asset -- for a similar one, or a different type of noncash asset. Cash might be paid in addition to giving up the old asset.
The time at which the disposal occurs may be at the beginning, middle, or end of the year. If the disposal is not at the end of the year, you must remember to record any depreciation for the asset up to the time of the disposal. Depreciation usually occurs with the passage of time, and if depreciation is not updated, the Asset's book value and the resulting gain or loss will be misstated.
Suppose a company owns a piece of Equipment originally costing $10,000 that
currently has Accumulated Depreciation of $6,000. The situation could be diagrammed
as follows:
Verify that the book value of the Equipment is $4,000. I have included two T-accounts in the Owner's Equity section. These are Loss on Disposal (similar to an Expense account), and Gain on Disposal (similar to a Revenue account). To determine the amount of Gain or Loss, compare the assets received with the Book Value of the Asset given up. Here are some examples:
1. Suppose the asset is sold for $5,000. Close out the asset account and it's
accumulated depreciation. Since $5,000 is greater than the Book Value of $4000,
a Gain of $1,000 is realized:
2. If the same asset were sold for $3,000, a Loss of $1,000 occurs:
3. If the asset is simply retired (taken out of service), with no assets received, you still close out the asset account and the Accumulated Depreciation account. If the Asset has a book value greater than zero (i.e., it is not fully depreciated), there will be a Loss recorded:
The subject of Plant Asset exchanges is a complex one in Accounting. The information presented in your text simply introduces the subject. You may wish to read this material, but you will not be held responsible for it.
Natural Resources are considered "wasting" assets, such as timberlands, oil wells, gravel pits, gold mines, etc., that involve extraction of a resource. The basic problem is to account for the units taken out of the resource. You will find that computation of depletion expense is similar to computing units-of-activity depreciation.
Depletion is a concept that is identical to depreciation, that is, the allocation of the cost of the natural resource to the periods in which it is productive. In order to calculate depletion, one must know the cost of the natural resource, as well as the expected volume of the resource that exists. As with the units-of-activity method of depreciation, a unit cost can be determined, which is then multiplied by the number of units extracted.
Analogous to equipment or other kinds
of plant assets, each natural resource account would have its own Accumulated
Depletion account:
As you might expect, the expense account for depletion is called Depletion Expense. It represents a noncash expense, similar to depreciation.
Intangible Assets represent rights, privileges, and competitive advantages owned by a business. They are intangible only in the sense that they have no physical substance. Very often, their legal status may be of critical importance to the longevity of a company. Examples of intangible assets include: patents, copyrights, franchises, trademarks, and goodwill. Similar to plant assets (which depreciate) and natural resources (which deplete), intangibles are amortized. Normally, however, no Accumulated Amortization account is used; the credit is made to the Asset account itself.
Straight line amortization is the norm. Unlike depreciation and depletion, you may credit the asset account directly; no need for an "accumulated" account.
There has been great debate among accounting practitioners, theorists, and standards-setting bodies regarding the proper accounting for Research and Development Costs. Notice that R & D Expenditures are not listed above with the intangible assets. This is because the Financial Accounting Standards Board has declared that Research and Development expenditures cannot be capitalized (placed into an asset account). Such expenditures must be expensed when incurred.
The following paragraphs summarize the characteristics of several of the intangible assets:
Patent: the right to manufacture, sell, or control an invention. A patent is granted by the U.S. Patent Office for a period of 17 years. Debit Patent Amortization Expense and credit Patent.
Copyright: Right to reproduce or sell an artistic creation such as a book, song, or other work. Debit Copyright Expense, credit the Copyright account. The life of a copyright is the creator's life plus 70 years.
Trademark: Word, phrase or other mark protected by the U.S. Patent Office. Trademarks are normally for 20 years.
Goodwill: Arises when an entire business is purchased. If the buyer of a business pays more than the fair market value of the (assets minus liabilities) of the acquired company, it is presumed that another asset exists--Goodwill. Please read my additional handout on Goodwill.
Note that patents, copyrights and trademarks achieve their status as assets due to legal protection by an arm of the United States. Goodwill does not have such legal protection. In fact, if the buyer of a business is unwise, the extra amount paid to acquire a business may be a result of being uninformed regarding the future of that company. In such a case, although Goodwill might be recorded, its status as an asset could be questionable.
To summarize the focus of this lesson, consider that Plant Assets, Natural Resources, and Intangible Assets are long-lived assets that appear in the balance sheet, net of accumulated depreciation, accumulated depletion, or accumulated amortization.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hello. I can assist you with your question.
I do have some ideas. First, make sure the Nook is plugged directly into a USB port on the computer as opposed to an external USB hub. It sounds like you're past that point, so try the steps below. There is a known issue with the Nook not connecting to some Windows 7 computers with the SD card installed.
It is doubtful that the cord is at fault. But it could happen.
I think it is more likely some confusion your computer has about what USB devices are attached.
If you attatch the nook whe the computer is on, does it do anything at all, like make a bonk noise, show a message, anything?
If you are willing to set it back to factory defaults, I can tell you how. It sounds like it is the device so far. this would either fix it or rule that out. It will put the nook back to the way it was right out of the box, so anything you have put into it will be gone.
To do a hard reset, hold down the power button, +Volume button and the Home Nook button at the same time until your machine powers down. Turn your machine back on and it should give you a choice to reset your nook. Power button will cancel it and the nook home button at the bottom will continue with the reset. Confirm it and it will take a couple minutes and your machine will be back to square one.
I'm not sure if that will get it back to factory settings. Try this - this should do it. When it is done, it will look like when it came out of the box. So if the firware has been upgraded since then, it will have to be done again. But it should do the reset...
1) Plug USB cable into nook (I did it on my computer but power is probably fine).2) Remove the battery.3) If your nook is on the "Your device is starting up" screen, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds till the ">" stops moving. If screen is blank skip to step 5.4) Press and release the power button again to get the eInk screen to go blank.5) (Read step 6 before this) Press and release the power button.6) As soon as you see the eInk screen flash black press and hold the power button.7) The eInk screen will display a box stating (Your nook is being upgraded...) and the LCD screen will show an update screen like that of a typical firmware upgradeAs the device restores itself you will see the LCD display things such as:Verifying fallback firmware...Formating partition...Installing firmware: Version 1.1.18) Once the nook has completed, it will reboot and start the "Your nook is starting up". Reinsert the battery before removing the USB cable.9) Your nook will load into the "Welcome to your nook. The Barnes & Noble eBook reader."
Hmmm... then the "power, Volume up and Home key press and hold" method should do it.
The erase and deregister will reset it. I just don't know if that resets absolutely everything. It's worth a shot.
Frustrating? Ok... many of these problems are, but at least I have a chance to get paid for it. It's much more frustrating when you paid for this product, it tells you it's going to do something, and you find it's lying about it. How strange.
There has to be a foolproof way to reset it - even though yours refuses to lose the information for some reason.
I guess you are having no problem navigating on the device. So can you check the firmware version? The firmware can be installed from SD card, so if you have one, you could get the latest firmware and install it on there.
Even if it's the same version, I would try it. I should overwrite the firmware and maybe correct the problem.
I do appreciate that very much.
Bookmark the question after you accept. You can come back to it if you have any questions after you get the cable.

Hello friends!
I hope everyone is having a great week! Let me begin by saying that I have been running like a mad woman.. well kinda, I have been running a 5k everyday this week and it feels so good. I didn't get up this morning to go run, but I plan on squeezing in a little run after work. Speaking of work, yesterday we had our office Christmas/holiday party. Tuesday night, with the help of Anya and my mother-in-law, we made four different cookies!
Christmas Sandies, which had cranberries in them,. yum!
Five-minute Fudge, also very good.
Rum balls
And these awesome Swirl cookies I found on Pintrest.
I ran out of sprinkles while making the Christmas Sandies, so the swirl cookies did not have any :(, but they were still delicious.
We had a lot of leftover cookies, so I sent some to work with Erik today 🙂
I think there are approximately 20 people in my office at this point, and we had enough food to feed about 100 people, ha. I ate my fair share of food, don't worry.
I wish I could tell you I didn't go back for more mac &cheese, but I can't, because it was so good I needed more. After we all had finished eating, it was time to start the white elephant gift exchange. There were a lot of presents under our office tree.
I had brought two bottles of red wine, and it was one of the most popular gifts!
There was a Dick's sporting goods gift card that I really wanted (because I need new workout clothes), but it was stolen from me a handful of times. Despite that I walked away a happy person.
Woot! Sangria, chocolate and a $15 iTunes gift card, winner!
It was a fun day at the office. Tonight we are celebrating Christmas with my mom and sister, because they are going snowboarding and will not be here 😦
I hope everyone has a great day!
Did you have an office Christmas party? Did you exchange gifts?

Target: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, Lisa P. Jackson
Goal: Establish formal rules for conductivity standards in water to ensure safety.
Raccoon Creek in Kentucky is surrounded by three different mountaintop operations. Years ago, it was known for the taste and the quantity of fish that inhabited its waters. Now, pollutants have raised the conductivity level of the water to such a degree that no aquatic life can survive.
After various studies, the EPA issued guidance on the acceptable levels of conductivity in stream water. Due to the continuous flow of heavy metals and other pollutants released in the mountaintop removal process, the conductivity of the water at Raccoon Creek is over 11 times that which the EPA has deemed safe. The water has turned into an environmental hazard, poisonous to fish, aquatic mammals and humans.
Despite scientific evidence and many families' personal testimonies, a court sided with the coal industry recently and discarded the EPA's guidelines for mountaintop removal, claiming they were not an official rule. The EPA has the power to appeal the courts decision and enforce its water pollution policies to protect the lives of Appalachian people and wildlife.
Sign the petition below to urge the EPA to create formal rules to establish water quality standards and protect streams from one of the most environmentally destructive practices in the country.
Dear Lisa Jackson,
To begin, I would like to express my appreciation for the fact that your agency has listened to scientific evidence on the environmentally destructive effects of mountaintop removal surface mining in Appalachia. The new policies you have adopted could effective prevent the pollution of streams and other natural water sources. Yet a court has managed to overturn the EPAs initiatives and block policies that ensure protection from mining, claiming they were only "guidelines."
As such, I urge you to take the steps to make your water pollution policies and conductivity standards official. While you begin the formal rule-making process to make water quality standards legally defensible, you must appeal the most recent court decision refusing to take safe conductivity standards into account. The EPA has appealed courts' decisions before. Now it is more important than ever to establish and enforce strong water quality standards to protect streams, aquatic life and people from the devastating effects of mountaintop removal.
[Your Name Here]

Paul Scholes was happy for all the attention to be on Sir Alex Ferguson on his final Old Trafford appearance
Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes says he was happy for his retirement to slip under the radar.
Last Updated: 12/05/13 4:38pm
The Manchester United midfielder announced his retirement for a second time on Saturday, having ended a six-month hiatus when he agreed to resume his career in January 2012.
Scholes is notoriously media-shy and admitted Ferguson's announcement of his retirement plus continued speculation about Wayne Rooney's future had given him the perfect opportunity to slip out of the game with little fuss.
"It couldn't be any better could it?" said the 38-year-old. "(The speculation of) Wayne Rooney asking for a transfer - there's not much else that can go well for me.
"Yeah, it's the perfect weekend for me. (My) last game and I will just slip under the radar and off I go."
Scholes has made just a handful of appearances this year following a knee injury in January and said that had contributed to his decision to retire - and this time he insists it is a decision he will not reverse.
"I think this is it. I'm sure this is it," Scholes said. "It's probably not the season I would have liked to go out on but the last four months have been quite difficult with injury, with my knee and trying to get back fit again.
"I'm totally convinced. I was convinced last time to be honest with you. At the time you are but I know now in my head that I have gone as far as I possibly can physically. This is the end. Again."
Scholes also revealed he is unsure what the future holds for him, following Ferguson's departure from Old Trafford.
"The manager wanted me to be on the coaching side but it's going to be a different manager," he said. "I don't know what the new manager will want.
"But yeah, I would like to be in charge of my own team and in charge of my own players and try and make a team play the way I like football to be played."

RALEIGH, N.C.--No. 17 North Carolina State (31-12) hit three home runs including two in the bottom of the seventh as the Wolfpack defeated CSU Bakersfield (19-21) 8-4 Friday night at Doak Field.
The Roadrunners struck first when DC Legg's (R-Sr., Murrieta, Calif., Cypress College) RBI single plated Kevin Younger (Jr., Bakersfield, Calif., Liberty HS). The Wolfpack tied the score in the bottom of the first when Trea Turner came home from third on a CSUB wild pitch.
Tyler Shryock (So., Tehachapi, Calif., Desert Christian HS) opened the second inning with his second home run of the year, but NC State tied it again in the bottom of the frame. CSUB scored on an error in the top of the fourth to take a 3-2 lead, but the Wolfpack tied the game for the third time in the bottom of the inning when Jake Fincher's sacrifice fly scored Ryan Mathews.
CSU Bakersfield took the lead in the fifth when a Dylan Christensen (Jr., Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Saddleback College) sacrifice fly drove in Legg. The Wolfpack used back-to-back home runs from Danny Canella and Ryan Mathews to power their way to a five-run seventh inning that proved to be the difference.
CSUB stranded 12 runners on base, six of which were in scoring position. Mathews and Logan Ratledge each tallied two hits to lead North Carolina State. Legg and Younger both had two hits for the Roadrunners.
The series continues Saturday, beginning at 3:30 p.m. (PDT).
