VERNON - It's a tiny prototype that could make a big difference with homelessness in the North Okanagan.
Construction is coming along on what housing workers hope will be the first of many tiny homes in Vernon. Led by the First Nations Friendship Centre, the idea is to build one tiny home, raffle it off, and use the proceeds to jump start the construction of a tiny home community for youths aged 19 to 29 at risk of homelessness.
The whole thing started when youth program manager Barry McDougall was talking to a friend about the frustrations of turning away roughly two young people per week at the subsidized Kekuli Apartments in Vernon due to lack of space.
"Often, these individuals (and) young families are couch-surfing or staying at the Vernon Transition House," McDougall says.
His friend mentioned the growing popularity of tiny homes and an idea began to form.
The long-term vision is for a community of 20 tiny homes to be created in Vernon. But, first, they need to finish the prototype.
At roughly 280 square feet, the first tiny home is in production right now at the Allen Brooks Nature Centre in Vernon. Volunteers have been working tirelessly to complete the home, which has the ability to run completely off-grid with solar panels and a composting toilet.
"It's really taking shape," McDougall says.
Once completed, the tiny home will feature a loft, full kitchen and bathroom. With all the appliances included, and even a T.V., the home will truly be move in ready.
"You have to have the right mindset to live in it," McDougall says of the small space. "But some people have no place to live at all."
You can take a tour of the tiny home by stopping by the Allen Brooks Nature Centre, or by checking it out at the upcoming Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong where it will be on display.

Review by presto
This is a well produced and attractively laid out book, well illustrated with many of the dishes and a number of attractive pictures related to the farm; altogether a beautiful book to browse. Refreshing too as there is none of that airy-fairy fussiness or arty-minimalism, here we have hearty and substantial dishes intended to satisfy the appetite. Meat predominates, along with traditional vegetables, soups and puddings and preserves. Accompanying the recipes there are occasional explanations of ingredients, processes or other comments.If you are looking for a down to earth, very British cookbook, you've found it.

Classwork Scales are used everyday.
What are some things that use scales? Scales Similar figures have scales. Similar figures look exactly the same, the only difference is that one figure is bigger or smaller than the other. Similar Figures Scales with different units Many things need to be converted such as Degrees, Recipes, Heights, Lengths, Widths.... etc. Word Problem On a map, the scale is 1 cm = 8 miles. The actual distance between two cities is 256 miles. What is the distance between these cities on the map? Jacob made a drawing of his land using a scale 1 inch = 14 yards. The actual length of his land is 84 yards long. What is the length of Jacob's land in the drawing? I can find the dimensions of figures when given a scale and identify the impact of a scale on actual length and area. Mrs. Barrett

I've always admired people who cook even their kitchen basics from scratch. I make homemade bread on a weekly basis, but we also purchase loaves, burger buns, tortillas, etc regularly. There are people who make their own cereal, granola bars, yeast, and cream cheese! I admit some of these sound more appealing to me than others, but I love the idea of homemade wholesome foods without preservatives.
At the same time, I wouldn't make everything from scratch even if I had no kids. You have to draw the line somewhere, and there are products that are significantly more time- and cost-efficient at the supermarket without a significant decrease in quality. But I want to try to increase the number of things I make from scratch.
I decided to try my hand at making homemade ricotta today, since everyone claims it's incredibly simple. We're having stuffed shells on Saturday, and it seemed like a fun way to improve the recipe.
What a disaster!
The basic steps are as such:
1. Line a medium colander with four layers of cheesecloth.
2. Bring a half-gallon of whole milk and one teaspoon salt to a simmer over medium-high heat.
3. Stir in three tablespoons of white vinegar. Simmer the milk until curds form, about one minute.
4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the curds to the colander. Let them drain for a minute.
5. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl.
Sounds easy? Well, I got partway through step 2 before Pumpkin freaked out and started shrieking. She was in the Pack'n'Play in the kitchen next to me so I turned my back to the steaming milk on the stove to comfort her. She start to quiet down when I hear, from behind me, a quiet hissssss….. SIZZLE. Yup, the milk had boiled over. I rushed over to move it and tried to mop up the milk that had spilled on the stove before it all burned on, while Pumpkin resumed screaming with vigor. What a moment!
I let her scream for a few minutes while I tried to clean up a bit, which might not have been the best idea because the next thirty minutes were spent rocking her to calm her down and reassure her that mommy would indeed come when she cried. Not my best moment. 😦 We worry about making sure she develops secure attachments with us, since the first month in the NICU could have really disrupted her ability to bond. We try really had to avoid letting her cry on her own, because she becomes inconsolable very quickly if we're not there to comfort her.
Eventually she fell asleep, and I returned to the kitchen to see if I could give it a second try. More cautious, now, I turned a new burner onto medium-low and then stood there, frustrated but afraid to leave it, as nothing happened.
Eight or ten minutes later, I gave in and turned the heat back to medium-high. Voila! A minute later, the milk was simmering. I added the vinegar and watched the curds form. It was like magic.
The whole thing was over maybe a minute later, and despite my difficulties with it I could understand how people might say it was quick and easy. But, looking now at the pros and cons…
1. If done right and given undivided attention for maybe ten minutes, it is quick and easy.
2. It's homemade, so I can make it organic and with no added preservatives. I haven't been able to find an organic ricotta that doesn't have preservatives – seems like I have to choose between organic or no preservatives when I buy it.
1. It's hard to find ten minutes of undivided attention with a baby around! Maybe if I only attempted this again when hubby was home…
2. It's expensive! The cheesecloth was about a dollar, the milk was $3.69, and so I ended up spending almost five dollars for (here's the kicker) 1 1/2 cups of ricotta! Store-bought organic ricotta costs about $5 for 2 1/2 cups, so it's not even cheaper than buying from the store!
3. Even if it's quick and easy, the yield is so small it's really barely worth the work.
4. Cleanup. Ugh. If the milk hadn't boiled over, I would still have to wash a pot, a spoon, a slotted spoon, and the colander. Since it did, there's also all the burnt-on-milk on the outside of the pot and on the stovetop. Thank god it's a glass stovetop, at least!
5. The final texture turned out kind of gummy and looks pretty unappealing. I tried it warm and thought it tasted pretty mediocre, too – we will see how it is once it's been refrigerated.
In summary: not worth it. If the taste was exceptionally fresh and creamy, if it cost significantly less, if it didn't require unbroken, undivided attention – then I would happily do it again. Given the amount of cleanup, though, it just doesn't seem worth it. I think I will try again sometime to see if it comes out better if I do everything right the first time, but my suspicion is that this recipe is not a keeper for us.
Oh, well………
Update: still tastes pretty mediocre, but cleanup was a lot easier than expected! The milk scrubbed right off the pot after I soaked it for an hour or so, and the stove wasn't bad either. Like I said, I'd be willing to give it another shot.

Data show no sign of methane boost from thawing permafrost
Carbon dioxide levels rising, though, in response to warming around Alaska's North Slope
SAN FRANCISCO — One climate doomsday scenario can be downgraded, new research suggests.
Decades of atmospheric measurements from a site in northern Alaska show that rapidly rising temperatures there have not significantly increased methane emissions from the neighboring permafrost-covered landscape, researchers reported December 15 at the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting.
Some scientists feared that Arctic warming would unleash large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, worsening global warming. "The ticking time bomb of methane has clearly not manifested itself yet," said study coauthor Colm Sweeney, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Emissions of carbon dioxide — a less potent greenhouse gas — did increase over that period, the researchers found.
The CO2 rise "is still bad, it's just not as bad" as a rise in methane, said Franz Meyer, a remote sensing scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who was not involved in the research. The measurements were taken at just one site, though, so Meyer cautions against applying the results to the entire Arctic just yet. "This location might not be representative," he said.
Across the Arctic, the top three meters of permafrost contain 2.5 times as much carbon as the CO2 released into the atmosphere by human activities since the start of the Industrial Revolution. As the Arctic rapidly warms, these thick layers of frozen soil will thaw and some of the carbon will be converted by hungry microbes into methane and CO2, studies that artificially warmed permafrost have suggested. That carbon will have a bigger impact on Earth's climate as methane than it will as CO2. Over a 100-year period, a ton of methane will cause about 25 times as much warming as a ton of CO2.
A research station in Alaska's northernmost city, Barrow, has been monitoring methane concentrations in the Arctic air since 1986 and CO2 since 1973. An air intake on a tower about 16.5 meters off the ground constantly sniffs the air, taking measurements. Barrow has warmed more than twice as fast as the rest of the Arctic over the last 29 years. This rapid warming "makes this region of the Arctic a great little incubation test to see what happens when we have everything heating up much faster," Sweeney said.
Over the course of a year, methane concentrations in winds wafting from the nearby tundra rise and fall with temperatures, the Barrow data show. Since 1986, though, seasonal methane emissions have remained largely stable overall. But concentrations of CO2 in air coming from over the tundra, compared with over the nearby Arctic Ocean, have increased by about 0.02 parts per million per year since 1973, the researchers reported.
The lack of an increase in methane concentrations could be caused by the thawing permafrost allowing water to escape and drying the Arctic soil, Sweeney proposed. This drying would limit the productivity of methane-producing microbes, potentially counteracting the effects of warming.
Tracking Arctic wetness will be crucial for predicting future methane emissions in the region, said Susan Natali, an Arctic scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Falmouth, Mass. Studies have shown increased methane emissions from growing Arctic lakes, she points out. "We're going to get both carbon dioxide and methane," she said. "It depends on whether areas are getting wetter or drier."

'No bad faith, lies or deceit' – Tony Blair defiant at bombshell Chilcot Report
FORMER Prime Minister Tony Blair has released a statement in the wake of the explosive Chilcot Report looking into the 2003 Iraq War.
He insisted today that his decision to commit forces to to the invasion of the country was taken "in good faith" and believed it was in the best interests of the country.
In a statement following the release of the report, he said: "The report should lay to rest allegations of bad faith, lies or deceit. Whether people agree or disagree with my decision to take military action against Saddam Hussein; I took it in good faith and in what I believed to be the best interests of the country."
He added the report exonerated him, saying there was not improper use of falsification of intelligence, no deception of the Cabinet, and no secret commitment to go to war worth former US President George Bush.
He went on: "However the report does make real and material criticisms of preparation, planning, process and of the relationship with the United States.
"These are serious criticisms and they require serious answers.
"I will respond in detail to them later this afternoon.
"I will take full responsibility for any mistakes without exception or excuse."
Mr Blair's sentiments were echoed by his former chief press officer and spin doctor Alistair Campbell, who was also accused of taking part in "sexing-up" the weapon's of mass destruction dossier.
blog: mistakes yes, but no lies, deceit, secret deals, 'sexing up'. And ultimately a matter of leadership/judgement https://t.co/MZ9NFYWg4p— Alastair Campbell (@campbellclaret) 6 July 2016
Mr Blair also said: "I will at the same time say why, nonetheless, I believe that it was better to remove Saddam Hussein and why I do not believe this is the cause of the terrorism we see today whether in the Middle East or elsewhere in the world.
"Above all I will pay tribute to our Armed Forces. I will express my profound regret at the loss of life and the grief it has caused the families, and I will set out the lessons I believe future leaders can learn from my experience."
The decision to invade Iraq was made on an intelligence briefing that was alleged to be a "dodgy dossier" that had overblown the risk of Iraqi leader saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction.

California's much talked-about AB 1522, containing the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014 (the Act) became law January 1, 2015. Under the new legislation, employers must provide nearly all California employees with three paid sick days per year. Although several California cities already have sick leave ordinances -San Francisco, Long Beach (for certain hotel employees), and Oakland (effective March 2, 2015), California is only one of a few states to impose a state-wide paid sick leave requirement.
Many California employers already offer their employees at least three days of paid sick leave or other paid time off (PTO). Some of these employers mistakenly assume that this new law will not affect them. But the Act applies to virtually all employees who work in California for 30 or more days within a year. This includes part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees, who often are not covered by existing sick leave and PTO policies. The Act (and other related changes in AB 1522) also subjects California employers to new posting, notice, and recordkeeping requirements.
Back in October 2014, we issued a Management Alert on this legislation. We've also published several blog posts discussing the Act on our Cal-Peculiarities blog at www.calpeculiarities.com. In our experience, however, many employers remain unaware of all of the Act's requirements. We therefore take this opportunity to remind you of these requirements as well as the steps you already should be taking to achieve compliance. Indeed, as discussed below, many of the Act's requirements became effective back on January 1, 2015.
All California employers should review the Act's requirements carefully and take steps to ensure compliance. A first reading of the Act might leave the impression that the overall effective date is July 1, 2015, because the Act expressly delays employees' entitlement to paid sick leave until on or after July 1, 2015, provided they have worked in California for 30 or more days within a year from the commencement of their employment. However, since the July 1, 2015 effective date applies only to the benefit entitlement provision1, the rest of the statutory additions and amendments in AB 1522, including those imposing posting, notice, and recordkeeping requirements, became effective on January 1, 2015, under normal operation of California law, because AB 1522 specifies no other alternate effective dates.
In addition to preparing the required notices and posting, AB 1522 likely will require significant changes to employer policies and processes. Among the areas to consider are:
- Development and implementation of a California paid sick leave policy for employees who do not already receive sick leave or other PTO under the employer's existing policies;
- Modifications to existing sick leave or PTO policies;
- Revisions to the Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice;
- Changes to recordkeeping policies and procedures; and
- Revisions to the itemized wage statement to reflect paid sick leave balances or the development of a separate notice to be provided at the same time as the wage statement.
Each of these tasks will require careful deliberation and consideration of alternative approaches to achieve compliance.
Covered Employers
All employers (regardless of their size or status) that employ at least one employee who works in California for 30 or more days within a year.2
Covered Employees
Any employee who works in California for 30 or more days within a year from commencement of employment, including part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees, with the exception of:
- Employees whose employment is governed by a valid collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that provides for the payment of wages, hours of work, working conditions, overtime premiums, regular hourly rate of pay not less than 30 percent greater than the state minimum wage, paid sick or similar leave, and final and binding arbitration of disputes regarding the paid sick days provision;
- Construction employees covered by CBAs with specified provisions;
- In-home supportive services providers; and
- Certain air carrier and flight personnel.3
Accrual Rate
Covered employees accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.4 The accrual rate for exempt employees is based on a presumed 40 hour-workweek, except that an exempt employee whose normal workweek is fewer than 40 hours will accrue paid sick leave based on that employee's normal workweek.5 Although the law itself is ambiguous, the Office of the Labor Commissioner has indicated in the template California Paid Sick Leave Poster and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) it issued in late 2014 that accrual begins on the first day of employment or July 1, 2015, whichever is later.
Carry Over and Accrual Cap
Employees must be permitted to carry over all of their accrued, unused paid sick leave to the following year, but employers may cap the accrual of paid sick leave at 48 hours or six days.6
Annual Grant
Instead of using the accrual method, employers can choose to give covered employees at least three days or 24 hours of paid sick leave at the beginning of each year. Under this option, no accrual or carry over is required.7
Existing Sick Leave or PTO Policy
The Act does not require an employer to provide additional paid sick days if (1) the employer has an existing paid leave or PTO policy, (2) the employer makes the paid leave available under the same conditions as stated in the new law, and (3) the existing policy either (a) satisfies the accrual, carry over, and use requirements of the Act or (b) provides for employee use at least 24 hours or three days of paid sick leave (or equivalent paid leave or PTO) per each (i) year of employment, (ii) calendar year, or (iii) 12 months.8
However, employers should not assume that simply having a sick leave or PTO policy is sufficient. The existing policy must meet the Act's accrual, cap, and reinstatement rules. Additionally, employers with adequate preexisting policies still must comply with the Act's other requirements, including notice, posting, and recordkeeping, and also must satisfy the revised Wage Theft Notice requirement.
Sick Leave Use
Employers can limit use of paid sick leave to 24 hours or three days during each year of employment.9 Employers may set a reasonable minimum increment, not to exceed two hours, for employees to use accrued sick leave.10 The employee otherwise is entitled to determine how much sick leave he or she needs to use. Employees become eligible to use their accrued paid sick leave on their 90th day of employment, after which they may use paid sick leave as it is accrued.11 Employers cannot require employees to locate a replacement worker to cover days on which an employee uses paid sick leave.12
Qualifying Reasons for Use
Employers must, upon an employee's written or oral request, provide paid sick leave for (1) the employee's own or "family member's" diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition, or preventive care; and (2) an employee who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking to seek aid, treatment, or related assistance.13
Covered Family Members
The Act defines "family member" broadly to include:
- Child (regardless of age or dependency status) - biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or a child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis;
- Biological, adoptive, or foster parent or step parent, legal guardian of the employee or the employee's spouse or registered domestic partner, or a person who stood in loco parentis to the employee when the employee was a minor child;
- Spouse or registered domestic partner;
- Grandparent;
- Grandchild; and
- Sibling14
Rate of Pay for Paid Sick Leave
Hourly employees are paid according to their hourly rates of pay.15 Where employees earn fluctuating wages (e.g., commissions, multiple hourly rates, piece rates), the rate of pay for paid sick leave is determined by dividing the employee's total wages (not including overtime pay) by the total hours worked in the full pay periods during the prior 90 days.16
Notice Requirement
Employers must provide paid sick leave upon an employee's oral or written request.17 If the need for paid sick leave is foreseeable, then the employee must provide "reasonable advance notification" - a term that the Act does not define. If the need for paid sick time is unforeseeable, then the employee must provide notice "as soon as practicable."18
No Pay-Out Required
The Act expressly states that employers are not required to pay employees for accrued, unpaid sick leave upon employment separation, unlike California law governing vacation time.19 However, the employer must restore to the employee any accrued, unused paid sick leave if the employee is rehired within one year of the separation.20 The rehired employee is entitled to use the previously accrued but unused paid sick leave and to accrue additional paid sick leave upon rehire.21
Posting Requirement
Beginning January 1, 2015, employers must display in a conspicuous place in each workplace a poster notifying employees of their paid sick leave rights.22 The Act directs the Labor Commissioner to create a poster containing this information and make it available to employers. In late November 2014, the Labor Commissioner released the template poster, which is available on the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) Web site.23 The Act subjects employers that willfully violate the posting requirement to a civil penalty of not more than $100 per offense.24
Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice Requirement
AB 1522 also amends California's Wage Theft Prevention Act25 to require employers to include in the mandatory Wage Theft Prevention Notice the following information about paid-sick time: (i) Employees may accrue and use sick leave, (ii) have a right to request and use paid sick leave, (iii) may not be retaliated against or terminated for requesting or using accrued sick leave, and (iv) have the right to file a complaint against an employer that retaliates. Following the Act directive, in late November 2014, the Labor Commissioner issued the template Notice, which is available on the DLSE Web site.26 Employers must use either the Labor Commissioner's template Notice or revise their existing Wage Theft Prevention Act Notices to include all of the new required information. This information must be included in all Notices issued to employees on or after January 1, 2015.
Note that the scope of employees who are subject to the paid sick leave law is broader than the scope of employees covered by the Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice. As a reminder, the Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice must be given to all nonexempt employees upon hire and within seven calendar days of any changes to the information contained in the Notice, unless all changes are reflected in a timely itemized wage statement provided to the employee or in a separate document required by law and provided to the employee within seven days of the changes.
Pay Stub Requirement
Every pay day, employers must provide each covered employee with written notice that sets forth the amount of paid sick leave available or the PTO that an employer provides in lieu of sick leave. This notice must appear either on the employee's itemized wage statement or in a separate writing provided to the employee on the designated pay date.27 Violation of this provision subjects the employer to penalties under the Act, but not under California Labor Code Section 226.28
Recordkeeping Requirement
The Act requires employers to keep records for three years to document the hours worked and the sick leave accrued, and to make the records available for inspection by the Labor Commissioner and the employee.29
The Act prohibits employers from denying employees the right to use accrued sick leave and from discriminating or retaliating against an employee who uses or attempts to use paid sick leave, who files any complaint with the Labor Commissioner, who alleges a violation of the Act, who participates in an investigation under the Act, or who opposes any policy or practice prohibited by the Act.30
Rebuttable Presumption
The Act creates a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer denies an employee the right to use accrued sick leave or takes other adverse action against an employee within 30 days of the employee: (i) filing a complaint, (ii) cooperating in an investigation, or (iii) opposing a practice prohibited by the Act.31
Enforcement and Penalties
The Act's lengthy enforcement provision is not a model of clarity. It generally provides that employers that violate the Act are subject to administrative fines imposed by the Labor Commissioner and to civil penalties on behalf of the aggrieved employee. Liable employers also are responsible for attorney's fees, costs, and interest in actions by the Labor Commissioner or the Attorney General. Among the potential fines and penalties is an administrative penalty that includes the greater of the dollar value of the number of paid sick days withheld from the employee times three or $250, not to exceed $4,000. And if the violation results in harm to the employee, then an additional penalty of $50 per day applies, up to $4,000. Only employers that make an "isolated and unintentional payroll error or written notice error that is clerical or inadvertent" are excused from penalty or liquidated damages assessments.32
City Ordinances
The Act does not preempt any California paid sick leave ordinances, such as the existing San Francisco ordinance and the newly enacted Oakland ordinance, which became effective on March 2, 2015. Employers must comply with any applicable ordinance and the California Paid Sick Leave Law. For each provision or benefit, the employer must provide whichever is more generous to the employee. For example, the San Francisco ordinance is more generous in terms of the amount of sick time that might be available in a year, while the California law is more generous with respect to the rehire provision.
The Act raises numerous questions, many of which remain unanswered. Efforts are under way to push for "clean-up" legislation to clarify some of these issues. We are also hopeful that the Labor Commissioner will provide further guidance.
In the meantime, following are some of these issues:
1. What about employers that have unlimited vacation/time off policies? Do they need to establish a separate California paid sick leave policy?
More and more employers are offering "unlimited time off" policies, under which employees do not accrue a set amount of paid time off. Instead, employees may take unlimited routine paid time off for any reason. And since employees do not accrue a specific amount of paid time off, the employer does not track any time. The statute does not address unlimited time off policies. However, in the DLSE's December 2014 FAQs, the Labor Commissioner indicated that this type of "unlimited" time off policy does not comply with the Act's requirement that employers separately track sick leave accrual and use. Thus, employers that have these policies will need to provide a separate bank of time that employees can use for paid sick leave, and track the accrual and use of this bank of time.
2. When do current employees begin to accrue paid sick leave?
As noted above, the Labor Commissioner's California Paid Sick Leave Poster and FAQs indicate that employees begin to accrue paid sick leave on the first day of employment or July 1, 2015, whichever is later. This guidance provides much needed clarity because the statute itself is not clear not on this point.
Labor Code Section 246(a) states that "[a]n employee who, on or after July 1, 2015, works in California for 30 or more days within a year from the commencement of employment is entitled to paid sick days as specified in this section." The very next subsection, 246(b)(1), states that "[a]n employee shall accrue paid sick days at the rate of not less than one hour per every 30 hours worked, beginning on the commencement of employment or the operative date of this article, whichever is later" (emphasis added). These provisions are subject to different interpretations. By one view, existing employees begin to accrue paid sick leave on January 1, 2015, but are not entitled to use that leave until July 1, 2015, provided they have worked in California for 30 or more days. By a competing view, existing employees do not begin to accrue paid sick leave until 30 days after July 1, 2015. By yet a third view, employees begin to accrue paid sick leave on July 1, 2015, and may use it as they accrue it, provided they have been employed the requisite time. Many employers are relieved that the Labor Commissioner has provided guidance on this issue.
3. For purposes of calculating paid sick leave accrual (one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked), does one count the overtime hours of nonexempt employees?
The Act does not expressly exclude overtime hours. Instead, it simply provides that employees shall accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.33 Accordingly, absent guidance that states otherwise, we assume that employers should count the overtime hours of nonexempt employees.
4. How much notice can employers require? That is, for foreseeable absences, what constitutes "reasonable advance notification"? And for unforeseeable absences, what notice is "practicable"?
The Act does not define the terms "reasonable advance notification" or "practicable." Absent further clarification, what constitutes reasonable advance notice is going to vary based on the facts and circumstances of the particular case. The same is true for how much notice is "practicable" for an unforeseeable absence. Employers should exercise caution before denying an employee's request to use accrued paid sick leave based on inadequate notice.
5. Can an employer require employees to submit documentation that they have used sick leave for a covered purpose under the Act?
The Act is silent on this issue. Thus, while we believe employers may request documentation, employers should exercise caution before taking any adverse action against an employee for failure to provide documentation. Again, guidance from the Legislature or the Labor Commissioner would be most welcome.
California employers already should be taking steps to ensure that they will be able to achieve full compliance with the Act by each applicable effective date. These are among the actions to consider:
- Review and, as necessary, revise existing paid sick leave or PTO policies and procedures to ensure that they meet the Act's requirements.
- Develop a new California paid sick time policy that complies with the Act for any employees who not covered under existing paid sick leave or PTO policies (e.g., part-time employees, temporary employees, and seasonal employees).
- Review any applicable California municipal ordinances and compare those ordinances with the Act to determine how to comply with all applicable paid sick leave laws.
- Review and, as necessary, revise antiretaliation, attendance, conduct, and discipline policies to prevent retaliation against employees for taking time off under the Act.
- Comply with the Act's notice, posting, and record-keeping requirements.
- By January 1, 2015, or as soon as possible, post the California Paid Sick Leave Poster in a conspicuous location at each California workplace.
- Consider how to comply with the posting requirements for remote workers.
- Update your Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice to reflect AB 1522's requirements as stated in the Labor Commissioner's template Notice. Employers were required to begin using the updated Notice on January 1, 2015.
- Ensure that benefits, timekeeping, and payroll systems are ready to properly calculate, track, and report accrued and unused paid sick leave.
- Ensure that itemized wage statements, or some other written notice of available paid sick leave or PTO, will be provided properly.
- Train supervisory and managerial employees, as well as HR and payroll personnel, on AB 1522's requirements.
- Monitor the DLSE Web site34 for regulations, additional FAQs, and other publications that provide guidance on how to comply with AB 1522's requirements.

On the same day that we learned a potentially enormous Joker/Batman spoiler from San Diego Comic-Con, a brand new clip from Suicide Squad released via Warner Bros. has put an entirely new spin on the dynamic between Enchantress, the mysterious presumed-villain who inhabits the body of June Moone, and Amanda Waller's Task Force X.
Just as that Joker news highlighted how little we actually know about the meat and bones of Suicide Squad's story, this clip serves as a reminder that DC's bad guy team-up movie has an absolute ton of twisty surprises in store for us. Only click play below if you're happy to learn a little more about the Enchantress...
In the clip, Amanda Waller presents June Moone to a group full of middle-aged white men, presumably government agents. All have been briefed with notes on who, or what, the Enchantress is, and all appear skeptical of what they're about to witness.
"She's walked this Earth for a very long time, and will likely be here long after you're gone — magic or not, this girl can do some pretty incredible things", Waller tells the room, before the spirit of Enchantress literally transforms Moone into a green-skinned creature with glowing yellow eyes.
The document in the agents' briefing states clearly that the CIA have been keeping tabs on June since 2015, which, presumably, is when she came into possession of the ancient miniature Enchantress totem which would then possess her.
It seems likely that this scene occurs early in Suicide Squad, considering Waller appears to have Moone in her command. It's probably fair to assume that, in the process of assembling the "worst of the worst", Enchantress takes over June with a vengeance and Waller loses control of her asset.
Whether the Squad is specifically assembled to deal with the ancient, out of control spirit or whether she's a distraction in a bigger mission remains to be seen, but it's interesting to note that the recent character trailer released for Waller finds the hard-as-nails government agent fighting alongside the Squad with a machine gun in hand. Typically, that is not her style, which might suggest that the Enchantress is coming after Waller with some serious personal beef.
Between Enchantress going rogue, Batman flashbacks, the Joker's corruption of Dr. Harleen Quinzel and the mystery mission itself, Suicide Squad certainly isn't short of balls to juggle in its compact 100-minute runtime. Can David Ayer pull it off and produce a movie which gets the kind of universal acclaim the DCEU really needs to take the fight to Marvel? We'll find out soon enough.
Suicide Squad arrives August 5. Check out the new, Harley Quinn-focused trailer above, and then tell me —

The Free App That Could Help Save A Life
9:11am 28th June 2012
People in Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland are being encouraged to download a new FREE app that could save your life.
It's a First Aid app, that offers advice on what to do in an emergency and how to treat minor injuries.
It was created by St John Ambulance and when it was first launched in 2010 became the bestselling health and fitness app on the market.
Nearly 120,000 people have now downloaded it - and the charity has learnt it has already saved a life, when a mother got in touch to say she was able to give first aid to her choking babe, thanks to the app.
The app is free to download from the Apple App Store. The charity hopes to develop a multiplatform app this year.

We've had people ask "how long will it take for my tank to heat up the first time, and what does it cost to heat it?" Good question, and we didn't know the exact answer. WE DO NOW though. I dropped my tank to room temperature which turned out to be 61 degrees (water is colder than air at room temp), and then I proceeded to heat it back up.
The ideal floating temp is 93.5 F, this is because even though your core temperature is 98.7 F, your skin isn't. So I threw my handy dandy electrical meter into the wall and plugged in my heaters. Here are the results:
• It took 30 hours to raise the temp 30 degrees. We designed the heating system to be affordable, and always on. This means it's not about speed, it's about efficiency.
• It took 23.9 Kwh to raise the tank 30 degrees. In Utah it's 8.8 cents per kilowatt. Just over $2.10 to heat up.
• Temperature maintenance has come in cheaper at about $1.20 a day in Utah. Keep in mind I keep my float room at about 78 F . If your tank is in a cooler room it will affect your daily cost. When the air temp is 78 F, it makes it so that the air being drawn into your tank while floating will feel like the water temp. So you don't feel anything (sensory deprivation anyone?lol)
So that's the skinny on heating up and maintaining your water temp. Remember when you first put in your salt it will drop the water temp SIGNIFICANTLY! Don't worry, once all the salt is dissolved the water will return to a normal temperature, and then you can heat it up.

Rebels in northern Syria kidnapped a group of Lebanese Shiite Muslims in Aleppo province on Tuesday as they were headed home by bus from a pilgrimage in Iran, Lebanese authorities said.
Reports of the kidnappings prompted families of those abducted, along with thousands of supporters, to gather in Beirut's mainly Shiite southern suburbs to demand their release.
The protesters closed down several roads, including the old airport road, with burning tyres and garbage bins. The roads were reopened later in the evening.
Lebanon's state news agency put the number of those abducted at 13 while Syrian media said an "armed terrorist gang" had kidnapped 11 Lebanese and their Syrian driver.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah urged restraint and said his Shiite militant party was doing its utmost to ensure the safe release of the men.
"I call on everyone to show restraint," Nasrallah said in an address carried on the party's Al-Manar television station. "It is not acceptable for anyone to block roads or carry out violent acts."
Nasrallah said contacts were underway with Syrian authorities and other countries in the region for a quick resolution.
"We will work day and night until those beloved are back with us and hopefully ... by cooperating together we will reach a happy ending," he said.
Nasrallah said Hezbollah was also in contact with Prime Minister Najib Mikati, whose government is dominated by the powerful militant group allied with the regime in Syria.
"The Lebanese state and government have a responsibility to work toward the release of those kidnapped," he said.
Nasrallah urged his followers not to carry out revenge attacks against Syrians in Lebanon.
Syrian state media said the kidnapping took place near the town of Aazaz, which sits along the border with Turkey. State news agency SANA said the men were part of a group of 53 pilgrims on two buses.
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

Activists in Aleppo reached by AFP via Skype said Aazaz was undergoing fierce shelling Tuesday evening by regime forces who stormed the town.
The brother of one of those kidnapped said the rebel Free Syrian Army seeking to topple the regime of Bashar al-Assad had vowed to release the men in exchange for FSA members detained by Syrian authorities.
Mikati's office said he was making the necessary contacts to ensure the release of the Lebanese abducted.
"Prime Minister Mikati has urged families of the kidnapped to remain calm and assured them he was following the issue closely to ensure the safety of those kidnapped and their quick release," a statement said.
One man who refused to give his name said his two bothers-in-law were among those abducted.
"They were heading back to Beirut ... after visiting religious sites in Iran," said the man. "The women who were with them were allowed to go free."
The brother of Abbas Shaayb, who organised the pilgrimage, said the women were staying in a hotel in Aleppo pending their return to Lebanon.
"Let's see what the friends of the Free Syrian Army in Lebanon are going to do now," said the man, referring to the Sunni-led opposition in Lebanon that has backed the 14-month uprising in neighbouring Syria.
The reported kidnappings were likely to further inflame sectarian tensions in Lebanon over the Syrian crisis.
Clashes between the pro- and anti-Assad camps in the country have left some 12 people dead in the past 10 days.
Nasrallah said it was necessary for all Lebanese to remain calm.
"The atmosphere is tense because of the events of recent days," he said. "Everyone is urged not to make matters worse."
Ex-premier Saad Hariri, who heads the opposition in Lebanon, denounced the kidnapping and called for the men's immediate release.
"We condemn the kidnapping of our Lebanese brothers in Syria, regardless of the party behind the kidnapping, and we call for their immediate release," he said in a statement.

Santiago - Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Thursday rebuffed demands by students who have mounted mass protests for free university education, telling them "nothing is free in this life"."We all want education, healthcare, and many more things for free, but I want to remind them that nothing is free in this life. Someone has to pay," said Pinera on Thursday at the presidential palace, La Moneda.The president said that "if we give free education to 10% of the most favoured in society, what we would be doing is taxing all of society, including the poor, to finance the education for the lucky ones".A free public education system for all has been the main demand of protesters who have taken to the streets in a series of mass demonstrations since Pinera announced plans two months ago to cut spending on education.The protest movement, which has attracted widespread public support, has knocked Pinera's popularity to 26%.Unions representing public workers and copper miners announced they would join the students, a sign of broadening opposition to Pinera, Chile's first conservative president since the end of the dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet in 1990.On Thursday, students demanded that police stop using tear gas to break up the demonstrations, while Pinera created an agency to establish minimum standards for schools.The president also has proposed offering scholarships to the neediest students.
Malema is using Chile as an example of succesful nationalisation of mines. They are moving away from nationalisation because the mines productivety has fallen by 40% since nationalisation. You can see them moving this way regaring the education system in Chile as well What will Malema say about the comments of the Chilean president now? I bet he wont say anything being too stupid to see the connection.
Malema is ignorant as the whole world already know.
Could we borrow this guy to be our president for a while?
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. NOW is the correct time to study contact your local University also check for an interesting article called "High Speed University" on web
Of course nothing is free Mr. President but why doesn't the governent pay for the outstanding students?
If a country wants skills it must make it easy on people but not to the lazies that don't study, demand lowering of standards and then want "big" jobs.

A bear in the wild is the worst nightmare of the happy camper. Their ferociousness and imposing bulk is enough to overpower WWE heavyweights such as The Rock and The Undertaker. One swipe of their paw can gouge out steel from trailers and dismember human heads. However, the Titans of Greek mythological lore commanded a legacy filled with dread and are often used as symbols of might.

Hi All!
I'm taking my boyfriend to NYC in May (we will be returning from a three week trip through Spain where he is from). We both love, love, love to try new places and new food. I have been to most of the restaurants in NYC that receive a lot of praise on this board but haven't been to Manhattan in almost 4 years. I'm hoping you all can make some recommendations for a new place for me to try and then help me narrow done where to take him!
We will be there for a week but we are on somewhat of a budget, especially since this will be our fourth consecutive week of travel. I'm hoping to do 3 "nice" dinners at a budget of no more than $70-80 a person (not including drinks). I love Degustation and I'm hoping it's still as good as it was when I used to go. Can anyone vouch for that? I would also like to take him to a Batali restaurant, what is the lower end one near union square called? Any recommendations for that one?
I am also looking for lunch recommendations throughout the city. We are very adventurous and are willing to travel throughout the Burroughs. We are originally from Phoenix and while the gastronomic culture here is getting better it is nothing compared to NYC. I am particularly looking for recommendations for:
Dim Sum
Dumpling House
Best Food Truck Cart
Best place for lunch near the Park where will be spending an entire day.
Also keep in mind that our accommodations are on the UES but like I said, we can travel to wherever! Thanks so much!

ON BOARD A MILITARY AIRCRAFT - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday that the U.S. expects to turn control of the Libya military mission over to a coalition - probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO - "in a matter of days."
In his first public remarks since the start of the bombings, Gates said President Obama felt very strongly about limiting America's role in the operation, adding that the president is "more aware than almost anybody of the stress on the military."
"We agreed to use our unique capabilities and the breadth of those capabilities at the front of this process, and then we expected in a matter of days to be able to turn over the primary responsibility to others," Gates told reporters traveling with him to Russia. "We will continue to support the coalition, we will be a member of the coalition, we will have a military role in the coalition, but we will not have the preeminent role."
The two key possibilities, he said, are a combined British-French command or the use of a NATO command. He acknowledged there is "some sensitivity on the part of the Arab League to being seen to be operating under a NATO umbrella."
Gates' comments came as American ships and aircraft continued to pound Libya, taking out key radar, communications and surface-to-air missile sites along its Mediterranean coast.
Even as his military was under siege, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi vowed to endure through a long war against what he called colonial crusader aggression by the international coalition.
The Pentagon chief had cautioned early on about getting involved in Libya's civil war, telling Congress that taking out Libya's air defenses was tantamount to war.
Others have worried that the mission could put the U.S. on a path to deeper military involvement in yet another Muslim country - even as nearly 150,000 troops continue to battle in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Gates said that in the discussions leading up to the launch of attacks, he tried to provide "a realistic appreciation" of the complexities involved in setting up a no-fly zone, and noted it would require an attack on Libya - which is what happened.
He said Obama and his top advisers discussed every aspect and possible outcome of the military intervention in depth, and in the end there was unanimous support for the action taken by the president.
Asked about working with the rebels, and whether the coalition knows enough about them to forge a partnership, Gates said Libyans must ultimately resolve matters themselves - though it remains to be seen what additional outside help will be provided.
Still, he added, "We certainly know a lot about Gadhafi, and that's good enough for me."

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also - Matthew 6:21 - Luke 12:34
Matthew 15:3-9 - But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Acts 5:1-3 - But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 - But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Acts 8:21-22 - And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
Matthew 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mark 12:33 - And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Luke 10:27 - And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Ephesians 6:5-7 - Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
1 Timothy 1:5-7 - Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Hebrews 3:12 - Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
1 John 3:18-22 - My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Are you treasuring God or other things?
Is your heart pure or is unbelief taking hold?
Is your heart condemning or providing confidence toward God?
Does your heart need exhortation and encouragement?
Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized and put your heart at home with Him
-- Zachary Van Tassel, 2010 --

The term "late bloomer" is used to describe an undersized and underdeveloped player who is athletic and gifted but for various reasons -- where he resides, the high school he attends, the offensive or defensive system he plays in -- was overlooked by many college recruiters. This can be particularly true when it comes to quarterback play.
Every coach would like to have upside and potential in his prospects. A prospect with ability and a ceiling that has yet to be reached is what makes coaching fun and challenging. However, rating performance vs. potential always has been a challenge in terms of making scouting decisions -- or, more importantly, scouting errors.
Statistics, system, level of competition and experience are all factors in evaluating quarterbacks at all levels of football, from high school to the NFL, but statistics and system may be the most misleading in projecting future success.

CRRNJ Train Station
Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey, Hudson County 07305Print this page • Share this page • Map This
This is the old Central Railroad of New Jersey train station and ferry terminal. Commuters from Manhattan would take the ferry across the river to meet their trains which ran regular commuter routes throughout New Jersey, as well as long-distance journeys to Chicago, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia. Most of the immigrants who passed through Ellis Island boarded trains here to start new lives in the new world. Now this is an oasis in a run-down industrial zone that has been reclaimed as Liberty State Park. Inside the station you can buy a ferry ticket to Ellis Island or the Statue of Liberty.

Men, here's how you can support the women in your office, without protesting or painting big signs.
If "A Day Without a Woman" left you confused on what your role in gender equality is, here are some easy ways you can help the women in your workplace.
I'm going to take a wild card and guess that you know a ton of talented women in your life and I'm sure you have respect for the women in your workplace. With recent light on gender inequality, highlighted by the #WomensMarch and #ADayWithoutAWoman protests, you may have felt at a loss on how to show your support or what you could do, as a man, to make a difference.
We are taught true equality comes when we can ignore gender. But in society as it is today, it is irresponsible to ignore gender because it has such an impact on interactions and inequalities ,especially at work. Recognizing a woman's gender as important to her experience is the first step to having an awareness of the obstacles she may face.
Even if you're not the CEO or head of Human Resources in your company, there is a lot you can do, or stop doing, that will make a difference for not only the women you work with, but also your company culture. Gender equality helps everyone. Here are ways you can build inclusivity into your workplace without damaging your reputation or your personal opportunities. Let's make it a win-win-win — for you, the women you work with or are raising, and your company.
- Women's voices can get lost when they are speaking up in meetings — use your voice to draw attention to women's contributions, so they aren't lost.
- Women often take on the bulk of the unappreciated 'housework' of the office, it's time to step up and volunteer. Share the workload, split it evenly.
- Work out a way to reward and appreciate the atmosphere tasks (ie: office snack planning, meeting note taking, care packages etc) so everyone has incentive to volunteer. Include these items in performance reviews and acknowledge their importance to your company culture which has a direct ffect on your bottom line.
Suspecting that powerful women stayed quiet because they feared a backlash, Professor Brescoll looked deeper. She asked…www.nytimes.com
4. Notice if you mansplain or interrupt the women you work with. (Just notice, and adjust — I'm not saying you do)
5. Institute a no-interruption rule while anyone — male or female — is pitching or presenting.
6. Give women the credit they deserve. Men aren't afraid of taking credit for their work. Women have a habit of playing down their contributions. At work, the accomplishments of men are more likely to be celebrated than the accomplishments of women in the exact same positions.
7. When hiring, advertise without bias, and masculine terms. Try to blind audition — keep the focus on skills, attitude and aptitude and through away any gender bias, no matter what position.
8. Listen to the women in your office. Open up the conversation and let the women closest to you educate you on the issues they face in the workplace — or in society in general. And, most importantly, believe them.
Women don't need to be saved, they need to be heard.
Women don't want to silence or squash men, they just need to be given the space to grow, learn and expand.

Studies reveal that women bring new knowledge, skills and networks to the table, take fewer unnecessary risks, and are more inclined to contribute in ways that make their teams and organizations better.
Women, what do you wish the men would do in your workplace? Men, what do you wish you could say?

Despite the fact that he hasn't been feeling up to par, Hrithik managed to stay strong to participate in the various promotions for the past few weeks. Along with shooting an episode for Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Hrithik even flew out to London and Dubai with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to promote the upcoming film. And if that wasn't enough, after he returned, he even went out to Ahmedabad for more promotions. But that was all that his body could take because as soon as he came back, his body rejected anymore stress for him to take.
Now it seems that along with being weak, Hrithik has been on bed rest for the past few days.

Moving Day!
West Sacramento Travel Blog› entry 51 of 62 › view all entries
Wow...moving day got moved up yet another month. Due to some personal issues w/the ex that got out of hand, we needed to get me out of the house early. Brett ended up flying out the night before to help with last minute details as Thursday was likely going to be a crazy day. We got the long term movers to come in early and the relocation company would be there as well. Aaaackk, chaotic day!
We got up super early and started packing last minute things before the movers got here. It was going to be a looooong day, I could just feel it! Around 9am the big moving truck showed up and OMG, it was a HUGE truck. Shortly thereafter, the relocation company arrived and for the rest of the day, we had 5 movers all throughout the house. Most of what was packed was being sent to long term storage which meant they were really wrapping up and packing up the furniture very nicely so it would not get damaged over the next year or two. :-)
I ended up with 10 cases of wine which were already sitting in my climate controlled unit I rented a couple days before. I needed somewhere to store stuff that I might want to get into when I am back visiting. Sadly, I did not take any photos of the day because it was so hectic...only the lone picture of the moving truck arriving.
We finally finished around 5ish and had to get the moving truck to follow us to my storage unit to drop stuff off. Poor Brett was helping move boxes as much as possible and the poor movers were exhausted. We headed over to our hotel and checked in, about to keel over from exhaustion. But we were done...all done!!! Whoo hoo!!


text: Has anybody been in here? I've passed by it many times but I have to admit, the building sketches me out thoroughly. The parking lot is always packed and I'd love to hear what anybody has to say about it. Exeter is in need of a good diner because I believe that Rogan's certainly doesn't cut it.

He may be the leader of a G8 country, but Stephen Harper is apparently not a big fan of travelling abroad.
According to a leaked diplomatic cable from the U.S. embassy in Ottawa, Mr. Harper was vexed by the need to make two trips to Asia within the space of a month.
U.S. officials described this late 2009 travel schedule as an "inconvenience" for Mr. Harper in the cable, telling their bosses in Washington that the Canadian leader "generally dislikes foreign travel."
The December, 2009, U.S. memo, recently released by Wikileaks, cites Canadian officials as sources in a 1,800-word analysis of Mr. Harper's first trip to China.
David Jacobson, the current U.S. ambassador to Canada, put his name at the bottom of the cable.
Mr. Harper, who's heading to China again this fall, first journeyed to Beijing in December, 2009.
That was an important visit aimed at thawing once-frosty relations between the Chinese and the Conservative government.
But, according to the U.S. embassy cable, Mr. Harper would have preferred to make that first voyage to China weeks earlier while he was in Asia for a November, 2009, APEC summit in Singapore.
He was forced to make a second trip to Asia, the cable suggests, because Beijing held off inviting him until it saw how the Canadian government treated the Dalai Lama in October, 2009. China regards the spiritual leader as a troublemaker who threatens its control of Tibet.
"Policy advisers in the Prime Minister's Office had earlier expressed disappointment that Beijing had been unwilling to schedule a visit by PM Harper immediately before or after the APEC Leaders' Summit in Singapore," the cable read.
"They attributed [this]to Beijing's wariness over how Ottawa might receive the Dalai Lama – to whom Canada granted honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006 – during his October visit to Canada."
Mr. Harper avoided meeting the spiritual Tibetan leader during his 2009 tour of Canada.
The invitation from Beijing followed, but not soon enough for the Canadian leader's liking.
"The PM's decision not to meet [the Dalai Lama]on that trip did result in the eventual invitation, rather to the inconvenience of the PM, who . . . did not welcome having to make two trips to Asia in less than [a]month," the U.S. embassy cable said.
At the time, Mr. Harper lacked control of the Commons, which required him to pay extra attention to domestic politics in case his minority government was threatened with defeat.
But even after his majority government win, Mr. Harper is still evincing a dislike of lengthy excursions outside Canada today.
During a six-day visit to Latin America in August, he was overheard by Canadian media telling a Brazilian official in Sao Paulo that "three days is a long trip for me."
The Prime Minister's Office declined comment on the U.S. diplomatic memo. "These are not Canadian documents and we do not comment on leaked documents," Andrew MacDougall, associate PMO director of communications, told The Globe and Mail.
Mr. Harper's foreign trips are generally very tightly scheduled. During his Latin America trip, for instance, he visited four countries in six days.
The Canadian leader's Conservative Party has in recent years turned living abroad into a political liability. It relentlessly attacked former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as a carpetbagger for spending three decades outside Canada as a pundit and academic.
"Why is Michael Ignatieff back in Canada after being away for 34 years?" the Tories asked in May 2009 TV ads suggesting the Liberal Leader only returned to win power.Report Typo/Error

Team Ratings
Aston Villa
B. Guzan
Dived the right way for van Persie's penalty but would have needed Shay Given and Andy Marshall alongside him for it to have been kept out. Came out quickly soon after to chest away a Walcott lob and saved well from Mertesacker. Again was not at fault for Benayoun's winner.
Carlos Cuéllar
Given a chance ahead of James Collins, it was a tough game for Cuellar who found himself too far away from his defensive partner on too many occasions and left gaps for Arsenal's forwards to exploit. Improved after the break to stifle the Gunners' attacks.
S. Warnock
Back to his usual standards after a poor game at the weekend as he kept Walcott and Gervinho fairly quiet on his side.
A. Hutton
A fascinating duel against Gervinho with the winger attempting to run at the Scot but the right-back stayed strong and the Arsenal player ended up switching wings. Has looked more assured as a defender in the past few games but ruined his good work with two yellow cards in the space of a minute at the end having argued with Arsenal players before a horrible late foul on Vermaelen.
R. Dunne
Put in some crunching early tackles to set the tone and managed to smother van Persie for the most part in a duel which the Irishman clearly relished. One sliding tackle on Walcott was particularly impressive. An improved performance from Sunday where he struggled against Suarez.
C. Clark
Was turned beautifully by Walcott before tugging at his shirt and giving away the spot kick. Rightly booked for what appeared to be a stamp on Arteta, albeit one which lacked ferocity.
S. Ireland
Making his first star since October, it was a decent performance from Ireland until going off near the end of the first half for what must have been an injury. Kept the ball better than Delph has done in the past few games.
S. Petrov
Looked more assured with Clark behind him and was able to keep things tight in the midfield area as Arsenal failed to play their intricate passing game.
C. N'Zogbia
Looks to have rediscovered some of his mojo. Began the match with a good cross put in for Agbonlahor which almost saw him score and then gave young Coquelin a difficult evening including a brilliant nutmeg. Not quite as effective in the second half.
M. Albrighton
Scorer of the 20,000th Premier League goal and a reward for his persistance. He looked lively throughout the match but his determination to win the ball saw him ghost past a static Mertesacker and finish calmly.
G. Agbonlahor
Unlucky to be denied by an excellent save from Szczesny and then a great block from Ramsey. The focal point in attack, he caused Koscielny and Mertesacker problems with his pace. However, he failed to pick up Benayoun which saw the Israeli score the winner.
W. Szczęsny
Began the game in style with a fine save from Agbonlahor and was sharp to pouch any cross that came his way. A dominant performance at the back ruined by his side's slack defending.
T. Vermaelen
Once again in his unfavoured position of left-back, he didn't look as comfortable fronting up to Albrighton as he normally does to most attackers and his short pass to Mertesacker set Albrighton away, not that the German made a great effort to help him out.
P. Mertesacker
Looked uncomfortable with players running at him and was booked for tripping a charging N'Zogbia before failing to mount any challenge as Albrighton nipped in to equalise. Almost redeemed himself soon after but was denied by Guzan.
L. Koscielny
Appeared more assured than his German partner as Arsenal kept Villa at arm's length for most of the match.
E. Frimpong
A replacement for the suspended Song, it wasn't the sort of all-action performance we have come to expect from Frimpong who failed to assert himself how he normally does. Replaced by Rosicky as Villa's midfield pushed forward seeking a second goal.
F. Coquelin
Stuck in an unfamiliar position at right-back, he had an uncomfortable evening. Firstly he lost Agbonlahor who almost scored with a header and then twice he was beaten by N'Zogbia before gaining retribution with a hefty lunge which saw him rightly booked.
A. Ramsey
Not the Welshman's finest evening, first overhitting a routine through-ball to Gervinho which would have sent him clear and then slicing wide from the edge of the area with just Guzan to beat. However, an early block on Agbonlahor probably saved a goal much to his credit.
R. van Persie
Kept quiet in the first half, he stood up when it counted to smash home his 34th goal of the year with as good a penalty as you are likely to see. Nice through-ball to Ramsey as well which should have seen him score. Booked late on for going over in the area but it appeared to be a harsh decision. Responded by delivering the corner which saw Benayoun pounce.
T. Walcott
Showed his undoubted class to do a Cruyff turn on Clark and win the penalty but should have doubled the lead minutes later after his attempted lob was saved by Guzan.
Y. Gervinho
Always a threat with his tricky feet but the final ball was too often lacking. Was not the same threat in the second half and after one challenge he struggled to get up but it looked like it was his pride that was hurting the most after losing out in the battle against Hutton.
- 33 A. Marshall
- 37 D. Williams
- 6 J. Collins
B. Bannan
Brought on for Ireland, his first touch was a free-kick which narrowly went over. Looked lively in midfield with his passing and was not afraid to go into some tackles, the sort of spark needed to get things going.
- F. Delph
N. Delfouneso
Came on just before the end for a hobbling Albrighton with Arsenal having just taken the lead.
- 26 A. Weimann
- 1 Almunia
- 18 S. Squillaci
T. Rosický
Brought on with Villa rampant, Rosicky's introduction seemed to calm things down with Arteta able to stay further back.
- 15 A. Oxlade-Chamberlain
Y. Benayoun
A late replacement for Ramsey in the centre of midfield but still had time to make an impact as he headed home the winning goal.
A. Arshavin
Was brought on near the end with Gervinho having struggled but saw his only shooting opportunity blocked by Albrighton for the corner from which Benayoun scored.
- 29 M. Chamakh
