The Tampa Bay Buccaneers dismissed head coach Greg Schiano and longtime general manager Mark Dominik on Monday. The Bucs joined four other teams that fired their head coach or front office personnel, and according to reports Lovie Smith is the front-runner for the position. Fortunately for Bucs fans they won't have to sit through another poor season from a general manager and franchise that once won a Super Bowl and were playoff fixtures.
Mark Dominik was an in-house hire that rose up to General Manager. Though he built the team that won Super Bowl XXXVII, his leadership extended to a team that has missed the postseason in six consecutive seasons. Dominik also whiffed on recent drafts as well as Gerald McCoy is the only standout of a group of linemen drafted by Dominik that have actually panned out. The defensive tackle said:
"It's tough for the players to see your coaches go. You never want to see anybody get fired. Me personally, I haven't had any consistency in my career. Third head coach, going on my fifth year and three head coaches. Add up everybody, it'll be six d-line coaches."
Former Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris was a players coach so when Mark Dominik and Tampa Bay surprised everyone by going with a coach that had more experience coaching young boys at Rutgers than men in the NFL, you knew there would be problems. Outbreaks of MRSA — a flesh eating virus — aside this team had its share of headlines. Schiano and his aggressive almost militaristic style of coaching was a bad choice from the start, and that rubbed players and opposing coaches the wrong way.
The highly secretive Glazers — who own the Buccaneers — also own Manchester United, a prominent franchise with much more pedigree. If the Glazers want to right the ship in Tampa Bay they need to go with a proven leader like Lovie Smith. Putting an end to the team's failure starts with a solid front office, and until the Glazers stop the circus sideshow and make some serious moves this team is destined for failure. You can only hope they rectify that with some credible hires.
Bucs fans rejoice; help is on the way because whoever inherits these jobs won't have to do much. This team is stacked going into the offseason and Tampa Bay also owns the No. 7 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. That makes for an attractive package for unemployed head coaches.

Apple's iPhone 5 Deemed "The Fastest Smartphone in the Land"
A recently released report by PC Mag put the iPhone 5 against previous iPhone models, then against top Android models including Samsungs Galaxy SIII released in June and Googles Motorola Droid RAZR M released just last week. Guess what? Apples iPhone 5 was declared the worlds fastest smartphone.
When compared to previous years iPhone models, the iPhone 5 obviously came out ahead. If that wasnt enough, it should be noted that it often came out ahead by a factor of two. In browser tests, it scored nearly twice as fast as the iPhone 4S in Browsermark, where it was more than three times as fast as the iPhone 4, even with all phones upgraded to iOS 6 (which boasts improved browser speeds for all). The graphic tests resulted in the iPhone 5 scoring 2.2 times as high as the iPhone 4S and more than 8 times as fast as the iPhone 4. In general, PC Mag said the iPhone 5 was overall 2.5 times as fast as the iPhone 4S and over 4.2 times as fast as the iPhone 4.
When Apples new iPhone was pitted against Android phones, PC Mag noted that last years iPhone 4S running iOS 6 on its dual core, 800MHz A5, is about on par with leading Android 4.0 phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Motorola Droid RAZR M, both of which are using the 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processors, adding that obviously, the difference is that Safari is a faster browser than the Android browser. PC Mag continued by saying that the new iPhone 5 takes things to the next level, stating that its Browsermark score is 80% higher, and it shows much quicker Sunspider times.
The iPhone 5 won overall by a narrower margin, but as noted, the memory and stream scores, both of which test loading data in and out of RAM, come out much better on the Apple device. In a graphics-specific processing test, the iPhone 5 beat the S III and RAZR M by more than a factor of three. The report concluded that based on these benchmarks, the iPhone 5 lives up to the promise of being twice as fast as the iPhone 4S. Is also, for now, the fastest handheld computer sold in the U.S.

Wow!! Apple smashing the competition! Apple realizes i"ts not the size of the device...it's about how you use it"!!
Looks like "the next big thing" is indeed...already here!
"But wait, Android specs are so much higher and better than iPhone 5...the numbers don't lie!
How can the iPhone 5 be faster???"
Ohhhhh, that's right...I forgot Apple that actually pays attention to making its hardware work at its full potential and they make that hardware work smarter.
"But it just looks like a stretched iPhone 4/4S"
Ohhhh, that's right. Apple took the time to determine that typing on-the-go w/ one hand is still feasible with their new screen dimension. After all, this is still a phone...not a tablet.
"But I don't mind typing w/ two hands..."
Good luck avoiding crashing into people or having them crash into you while you have to stop in the middle of a sidewalk to type on your 5" screen!
Stupid Fandroids!

Samsung has to put out commercials like that, it's the only way they can try and compare with Apple....not that it's working...The iPhone 5 is incredibly fast and the screen size is perfect. How many android phones have to come out to try and beat the one latest and greatest that Apple has out?....

We reported that supplementation with green tea extract (GTE) lowered the glycemic response to an oral glucose load following exercise but via an unknown mechanism. Here we examined the effect of supplementation with GTE on plasma glucose kinetics upon ingestion of a glucose beverage during exercise recovery. Eleven healthy, sedentary men (21±2 y; BMI=23±4 kg•m-2, VO2peak=38±7 ml•kg-1•min-1; mean±SD) ingested GTE (350 mg) or placebo (PLA) thrice daily for 7-d in a double-blind, crossover design. In the fasted state, a primed constant infusion of [U-13C6] glucose was started, and 1-h later, subjects performed a graded-exercise test (25 Watts/3 min) on a cycle ergometer. Immediately post-exercise, subjects ingested a 75g glucose beverage containing 2g of [6,6-2H2] glucose, and blood samples were collected every 10-min for 3-h of recovery. The rate of carbohydrate oxidation was lower during exercise after GTE vs. PLA (1.26±0.34 vs. 1.48±0.51 g•min-1, P=0.04). Glucose area under the curve (AUC) was not different between treatments after drink ingestion (GTE=1067±133 vs. PLA=1052±91 mM•180 min, P=0.91). Insulin AUC was lower after GTE vs. PLA (5673±2153 vs. 7039±2588 µIU•180 min, P=0.05), despite similar rates of glucose appearance (GTE=0.42±0.16 vs. PLA=0.43±0.13, g•min-1, P=0.74) and disappearance (GTE=0.43±0.14 vs. PLA=0.44±0.14, g•min-1, P=0.57). We conclude that short-term GTE supplementation did not affect glucose kinetics following ingestion of an oral glucose load post-exercise; however, GTE was associated with attenuated insulinemia. These findings suggest GTE lowers the insulin required for a given glucose load during post-exercise recovery, which warrants further mechanistic studies in humans

Lerato Radebe has become the poster girl of the new food revolution sweeping the country as the commander-in-chief and the first food police in SA.
Her show, aptly called Food Police on The Goodlife Network on DStv, is spreading the word and taking on the impending catastrophe of a population plagued by diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Radebe, 30, manages to make the unexciting topic of good diet appealing and sexy in the way she tackles it.
She visits families, raid their fridges and monitor how they cook. From excessive oil to unacceptably high doses of salt, she cracks the whip as she, err, whips out better and healthier options of the food prepared. Take for example a family that loves fatcakes, Radebe takes the same dough and makes dumpling with much less fat and better health benefits.
She has also been a beneficiary of the show, shedding some 10kg during the shooting of the reality show. "I was heavier when we started, and now I'm a lot lighter. I took the advice I gave to the families, such as cutting out sugar, and in two months I had lost 10kg."
Radebe, from Pretoria, believes that the show manages to dispel myths such as that for one to lose weight they have to starve or live off food that tastes like cardboard. "You can still have good food prepared well."
The show is a collaboration between the Soul City Institute and the Department of Health in response to the ever-increasing number of patients of communicable diseases. "We saw that there was a gap of knowledge and we needed a dedicated health channel. People are overweight, in fact new research reveals that by 2020 over 60% of South Africans will have diabetes or hypertension. We needed to do something to reverse the tide, programming to teach HIV prevention, diabetes and hypertension."
She says the biggest crime committed in SA kitchens was salt overload and a low vegetable intake.
Radebe is a graduate of the University of Pretoria and works in private practice. She also supports the Department of Health in policy and strategic direction

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 by Greg White
The Tokyo District Court on Monday annulled a decision by the NHK to terminate the contract of a French anchorwoman for temporarily fleeing Japan following the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown.(1)
The ruling also creed that Emmanuelle Bodin's decision to leave the country in wake of the worst nuclear catastrophe since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster did not constitute professional negligence.(1)
In 2011, a tsunami struck the coast of Japan, which decimated three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi site. The incident released a plume of toxic radiation into the air and sparked multiple explosions. More than four years later, the Fukushima Prefecture is still ridden with radiation and many evacuees are still unable to return home.
Stay up to date on the Fukushima disaster as it continues to unfold with fukushima.news powered by fetch.news.
"Given the circumstances under which the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima No. 1 plant's nuclear accident took place, it is absolutely impossible to criticize as irresponsible her decision to evacuate abroad to protect her life," the ruling said.(1)
Although NHK praised employees who decided to stay with the broadcast company during the Fukushima disaster, the court said the organization, "cannot contractually obligate people to show such excessive allegiance" to the company.(1)
Bodin's attorney said they do not know whether the ruling will have a similar impact on other cases. Their are many non-Japanese foreigners who missed work after they fled the country during the debacle.
"My pursuit of justice has finally been vindicated," Bodin, 58, told a news conference in Tokyo."Today, we are reminded once again that it is the responsibility of a company, regardless of how powerful an organization it is, to take good care of its employees and treat them with fairness and compassion," she said in Japanese.(1)
The court ordered NHK to pay Bodin ¥5.14 million in unpaid salary; a payment she would have received had her contract been renewed during the fiscal year.(1)
Bodin had worked as a news anchor and translator for NHK for more than twenty years. During the Fukushima crisis, she followed orders issued by the French government to evacuate the country. Before departing, however, Bodin asked a French veteran colleague to act as her substitute, so that her leave of absence would not cause major problems for the company.
She also notified her superior in the news radio section that she was temporarily leaving the country but a colleague would be covering her shifts. The manager gave her approval to leave, according to the ruling.
A week later, NHK sent a letter to Bodin, notifying her that her contract would be discontinued without providing a sufficient explanation for her termination. The vague letter merely recapitulated abstract provisions in the contract that specify an employee could be fired if "the circumstances demanded so" or if their work performance was so bad it "has no sign of improvement."(1)
The trial lasted approximately three years. During that time, NHK's story was riddled with contradictions and false accusations. The NHK lawyers even went so far to claim Bodin did not call her French colleague to act as a substitute for her. They also said Bodin's call with her superior lasted a mere 20 to 30 seconds, during which she "unilaterally" said she would not be covering her anchor shift hours later and tersely hung up.(1)
Nevertheless, Bodin's phone records, which were presented in court by her lawyers, revealed she had spoken with her colleague and superior for two and five minutes, respectively. Consequently, the documents served as nails in the coffin of the case.

Registered external judges provide constructive analyses to help members develop their standards. The society submits entries into competitions with other clubs, and individuals are encouraged to participate in exhibitions on their own account.
A number of workshops are held on Sunday afternoons, on topics suggested by members. Recent events have provided teach-ins on photographic software, on macro photography, and how to present your work.
Local events often involve the organisers working with the society, to generate material they can use for publicity, whilst giving our members access to photo opportunities. Recently the Chester Triathlon, and the Chester Marathon have been covered. Outings are organised to locations that present photo opportunities. Some social evenings are arranged.

Police Find Hudson Gun
Police found a handgun Wednesday matching the caliber of weapon used in the murders of actress Jennifer Hudson's three family members, providing a potential break in the case, law enforcement sources told the Chicago Tribune.
The gun was found in an alley just a block from the spot in North Lawndale where Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found shot to death and left in the back seat of a white Chevy Suburban.
Although it is not uncommon to find guns stashed in public places where street gangs operate, police were intrigued by the discovery because it is a .45-caliber weapon. Police compared the ammunition in the recovered gun with shell casings found at the murder scenes and determined that they were the same make, a law enforcement source said.
Also, at least one witness claims to have seen someone driving a vehicle matching the white Suburban through the alley toss something from the window, a source said. The weapon was being tested to compare with ballistics taken from the murder scenes, police said.
There's evidence there may have been another person involved in the murder of Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew, reports TMZ.com.
Investigators have honed in on William Balfour's movements after the killings on Chicago's South Side, according to the Chicago Tribune, and "are trying to determine" if someone else drove the prime suspect to the West Side, where the body of 7-year-old Julian King was found.
Witnesses have told cops they saw Balfour drive a teal Chrysler to the Hudsons' block on Friday morning, and that car was eventually found about a mile away. The SUV in which Julian was discovered ended up about 13 miles away from the Hudson house.
The boy's stepfather, Balfour, remains the primary suspect in the murders, police sources told The Chicago Sun-Times. He is the estranged husband of Julia Hudson, who lived in the home with her brother Jason, 29, and mother, Darnell Donerson, 57. Julia Hudson is Julian's mother and the sister of Jennifer Hudson.
Balfour was taken into custody at a girlfriend's home hours after the bodies were found. Sources say the girlfriend contradicted his alibi. Police say they've also caught him in at least one other lie. Police were able to track his whereabouts Friday through cell phone records, sources said.
Police Supt. Jody Weis identified the body found on Chicago's West Side is that of 7-year-old Julian King. The identity of the body also was confirmed by the Cook County medical examiner's office, where an autopsy will be done Tuesday, reports The Chicago Tribune.
The boy's aunt, actress-singer Hudson and three other relatives went to the office and identified the body, authorities said.
Julian's body was found in the back seat of the white Chevrolet Suburban police were looking for in their search for Julian, three days after Hudson's mother and brother were found shot to death in the mother's house in Englewood.
Law enforcement sources said that the boy was shot multiple times in the back of the vehicle.
The Oscar-winning actress' brother-in-law William Balfour had been arrested over the double murder, and was being questioned by the police, but no charges have been filed.
The police have not named anyone as an official suspect. They have called Balfour "a person of interest." Our law enforcement sources, however, have said Balfour is indeed the prime suspect.
On Sunday morning, Balfour was transferred to an undisclosed state facility for violating conditions of parole on a 1999 conviction for attempted murder. Police are testing Balfour's clothing for gunshot residue.
According to law-enforcement sources, Balfour's alibi the day of the killings has been contradicted by his girlfriend.
Hudson has posted a message on her MySpace page, thanking fans and friends for their words of support and appealing for help to find her missing 7-year-old nephew, according to TMZ.
Hudson reached out to her fans in an online message, accompanied by a picture of Julian King, who is believed to have been abducted at the time of the murder.
The message reads, "Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time."
Yesterday, Julia Hudson, the 31-year-old sister of the actress made a public plea at a Chicago church for the return of her son, AP reports.
Hudson's sister spoke from the podium at Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church alongside the boy's father, Greg King, AP reports. She says her son "doesn't deserve this."
Hudson — who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her tremendous performance in Dreamgirls, and whose song "Spotlight" has hit the top of the R&B charts — credits her mother and family for keeping her grounded.
In a recent interview with AP, Hudson said: "My faith in God and my family, they're very realistic and very normal, they're not into the whole limelight kind of thing, so when I go home to Chicago that's just another place that's home. I stand in line with everybody else, or, when I go home to my mom I'm just Jennifer, (so she says), 'You get up and you take care of your own stuff.' And I love that; I don't like when people tell you everything you want to hear — I want to hear the truth, you know what I mean?"

Beate Dignas, Engelbert Winter, "Rome and Persia in Late Antiquity: Neighbours and Rivals"
2007 | ISBN-10: 052184925X, 0521614074 | 364 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in Persia in AD 224 established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire's eastern frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated sources illustrating structural patterns. The political goals of the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic solutions are discussed, as well as the common interests between the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of communication between East and West. Considerable attention is also paid to exploring the role played by the Sasanians in the history of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early Byzantium.

text: I'm new here, but have been stalking for a few days now. I've tried to figure things out based on other posts, but have finally decided to jump in and ask some questions directly. I have done a fair bit of grilling, and still want something with a large grill surface (~700 - 1000 sq in is my target), but would like to try out some smoking. I like the offset grill/smoker but am not too sure about which one to go with. The ones I've seen in the ~$200 range seem really thin and cheap-o, but I also can't afford the 1/4" thick Horizon 16. Is there anything 'in between'?? There seems to be a gap in the offset smoker/grill market between the $200 walmart version and the $750 version... I've also been looking on Criagslist and haven't found anything... so I'm looking for recommendations: -- at least 700 sq in of grill stop space -- smoker option -- $350 to $450 price range -- I'd rather pay more for a higher quality item so that it will give me a good, solid, grilling/smoking experience versus saving some cash and getting something that will leave me wanting more. Not sure if there is anything else to consider here.... I'll start with that and see what that generates. Thanks!

Dinosaur Fossils Explained
Even though there are countless extinct creatures, only one type of extinct creature seems to challenge the faith of some Christians. Dinosaurs have been used as poster children to proclaim the evolution story. There is absolutely no reason for the Christian to be bothered by dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are some of God's amazing creatures.
We find dinosaur fossils all over the world. There are at least three explanations for dinosaurs which conform to Scripture:
1. Dinosaurs were real creatures which God created during creation week (
Genesis 1:20-26
). Dinosaurs were on the ark, but became extinct after the flood, possibly due to a changed environment, and due to hunting by people. The world-wide sedimentary rock layers containing fossils which we observe are what would be expect, based on a planet wide flood. There was plenty of room on the ark for all the dinosaurs (actually far more room than needed).
This position held by most creationists.
2. Dinosaurs were real creatures which God created during creation week (
Genesis 1:20-26
). Dinosaurs became extinct before the flood, and were therefore not on the ark. Those holding this position must accept that that God miraculously ensured that countless dinosaurs died and become fossils during the few thousand years before the flood, miraculously ensured that countless sea creatures died and became fossils in those same rock layers, and miraculously preserved the world-wide sedimentary rock layers and their fossils during a planetary flood.
This position held by a small number of creationists.
3. Dinosaurs were NOT real creatures. God created sedimentary rock strata and the fossils they contain during creation week. Those holding this position reason that God created the fossil remains of creatures which never existed as a statement of law that death is a consequence of sin. Those holding this position must accept that that God also created fossils of real creatures (many types which still live today) and mixed them in with the dinosaur fossils. They must accept that God miraculously preserved these world-wide sedimentary rock layers and their fossils during a planetary flood.
This position held by a small number of creationists.

Dinosaurs: Feathers or Scales?
Mark Bergemann,
Pages 27-31, LSI Journal Spring 2016
: Did some dinosaurs have feathers like birds, or did all dinosaurs have scales like lizards? New evidence is constantly found in the quest to answer this question. The Milwaukee Public Museum hosted the traveling "Ultimate Dinosaurs" exhibit in March 2016, so I paid $24 admission to see how the above question was answered.
Creation-Evolution Q&A
Warren Krug, LSI Journal 2013.
Question #11: Were dinosaurs real and, if so, does the Bible mention them?
: The Book of Job does mention two fierce creatures whose descriptions do not match modern animals – the
in chapter 40, which some Bible scholars think may have been a dinosaur of the Sauropod type, and the
in chapter 41 which sounds like a prehistoric monster which spent time in the sea, perhaps a Kronosaurus. In addition, the Bible – particularly the KJV version – often mentions "dragons." The many literary descriptions of dragons down through the ages closely match those of the larger dinosaurs. This raises the possibility that dragon stories and references, both biblical and non-biblical, may have originated from some real life interactions of humans with actual dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs in the Bible
Warren Krug, LSI Journal March, 2000. This excellent article is written from position #1.
: What are Bible-believing Christians to think of dinosaurs? Over the years not all Christians have accepted their existence. Even today we hear a voice or two claiming that the dinosaur fossils are fossils directly created by God and placed in the ground merely to test our faith. However, the discovery of vast numbers of bones, tracks, and other fossils of creatures not known to exist today are not so easy to dismiss, nor is it at all necessary to do so. Not only is there nothing we really know about dinosaurs that conflicts in any way with the Bible and a traditional, Biblical understanding of the history of the world, but the Bible may actually contain direct support for a belief in the existence of dinosaurs.

For some reason, Rae Sremmurd was asked to deliver the weather report on French TV, even though they don't speak French. The rap duo gave the full report in English but with the help of a voice over translator French viewers were able to understand the report. They struggled to find places on the green screen map, then finally wrapped up the segment with the weather in their Mississippi hometown.

As I sit here on this cold, winter day, watching a massive snow storm outside, I am thinking back to warmer days and longing for summer! As I was reminiscing, I realized that I never shared my second son's 3rd birthday party. So today, I want to share with you this Thomas the Train themed birthday!
My son was obsessed with Thomas the Train since he was very young. After his 2nd Birthday Party, he knew he wanted Thomas next. He actually loved his Thomas party SO much that he was even asking for the same party for his 4th birthday! I had to convince him that was sort of silly and instead, he opted for a Transformer Party.
So let me breakdown the party for you!
I always start with a main table to display the food. These are known as tablescapes and what you can find all over Pinterest, when searching for any birthday or wedding decor. When starting with the table, I always try to think through the layout: what will I be serving, how will that fill the table, what different heights can I add in and what will the backdrop be.
I knew that the focus of this party would be the activities so I opted for somewhat simple decor. I purchased four helium balloons from Party City and then added so red and blue streamers as the backdrop. I also found these free printables, which I used for the "Happy Birthday" as well as cupcake toppers, water bottle labels and food labels.
For food, we kept it pretty simple. My mom and I made the cake ourselves, using two oval cakes, colored icing, black licorice ropes and kit kat bars! I would say the highlight though of the tablescape was the Thomas the Train Candy Cars! We filled each car with Thomas themed items, such as rocks (jelly beans), corn (popcorn) and Jobe wood (pretzels).
As I mentioned, the activities were one of the main focuses for the party. At the time, our backyard wasn't finished and so even though it was summer, we had to stay inside. And I want to add here that we don't have a huge home…but that's no excuse! You just need to get creative with how you set up your space and where you place your activities. We had over 30 people in our home for that party and at times, when all in one room, it felt cramped, but most of the party felt spaced out because of where I set up various activities.
We set up the wooden train table in the living room, instead of our usual coffee table. Then we placed the motorized trains/track in the playroom. At the kitchen table, I set up "craft works" where I printed a bunch of free Thomas the Train coloring pages from the Thomas and Friends site. We also played "Pin the Steam Whistle on Thomas" which was hilarious to watch!
From the very minute that our little guests were greeted at the door, they stepped foot onto the railway! Using some painters tape, I made a railway that led from the front door, all the way upstairs and through the kitchen. My husband and I also created train cars that the kids could wear and quite literally become a train on the tracks! Using old diaper boxes and plastic tableclothes, we were able to make Thomas, Percy and James for the kids to enjoy. I will say that this was hands down, the most exciting activity at the party, for our little friends.
One final thing I wanted to share with you was not only did I make tracks on the floor, I also created tracks on the walls, with many of the Island of Sodors favorite characters! Again, these posters are all available on the Thomas and Friends website for free, you just need to download and get them printed at your local copy place. Then I added in a few extra railway items, that I constructed out of poster board, to make it more realistic. To this day (a year and a half later) many of these characters are still on the walls in his room (we haven't painted his room yet).
Overall, it was such a fun party. The kids had a blast…my son had a blast! And that's the most important part. He still talks about this party to this day! And that makes it all worth it!

Rainbow Lake is located in Rexburg, Idaho. It originated as a gravel pit by the State of Idaho to build Highway 20 near Rexburg Idaho. It was later bought by a local individual that realized the potential this little gem offered. The owner later discovered that there were numerous springs that sprung into a 34 acre lake. Rainbow Lake is fed by natural springs with no outgoing or incoming water, therefore, making it a healthy clean environment for record fish. The water level rises and falls as the sub water also rises and falls as local farmers irrigate their crops. The owner first stocked the lake with Rainbow Trout, hence the name Rainbow Lake, and later added Small and Largemouth Bass. In 2004 two young Frenziers, Aaron "Chubbs" Peterson and Randy "Rudy" Garn bought the lake from the previous owner. Chubbs and Rudy grew up their whole lives fishing this little lake. Owning it was a dream come true. The plan was to have a private lake where friends and family could gather and enjoy catching record size fish. In late fall 2004 Chubbs and Randy introduced nearly 200 large Rainbow Trout into the lake. In 2005, they introduced about 50 infant Tiger Muskies. The lake currently boasts:
- Near Idaho State Record Smallmouth Bass
- Largemouth Bass
- Rock Bass
- Tiger Muskie (ranging from 30 – 40 inches in length, and still growing)
- Record Rainbow Trout (some as big as 10+ lbs)
As you can see below, there are some huge fish in this lake. In years past this lake has been reserved for friends and family of the owners along with our fly fishing frenzy group. It is a catch and release with single barbless hook only fishery. This year the owners have decided to offer this gem on a limited basis to those that share their love for fly fishing for record fish. We will be offering a few permits to fish Rainbow Lake each month along with a giveaway on our blog for a free one day guided trip.
Rainbow Lake Pricing
One day permit on Rainbow Lake: $25.00 (guided $85.00)
Two day permit on Rainbow Lake: $45.00 (guided $125.00)
Call or email today with reservation requests

On Saturday April 25, I attended a screening of Ann Shin's documentary "The Defector" which traces the harrowing journey of a group of North Korean defectors as they endeavour to escape China, where they face the risk of deportation back to North Korea, and make their way to South Korea via the Golden Triangle and Thailand. Here is the trailer. Below that, an interview with Ann Shin:

Chef Vicki has taken First Place for her delicious Chili. Soup of the Day fans warm up in the winter months with her Broccoli Cheese Soup- they have to get their orders in-it sells out quick.
Vicki is married to Marc who has also become a member of the Chef Suzanne family.

Chef Frank is married with 2 grown daughters and 2 grandsons. He loves peppers, cooking, reading about cooking, travelling to try new foods to cook and cooking for friends & family. Frank also likes fishing, photography, growing herbs and vegetables in his garden while spending time with his amazing wife.

This inspiration served to get him into this business and carry forward those memories to put smiles on faces and the yum in tummies. Chef Rick loves to bake cakes, pies and fresh bread, explore different culture's foods- one of his favorites is Thai. Rick loves cooking for friends and family, fishing and serving his church and community. He enjoys creating for specialty diets, like gluten-free. He is an asset to the kitchen and a talented chef.

Skip to comments.A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 7/3/02
Posted on 07/03/2002 6:02:04 PM PDT by rintense
In a ceremony at the White House today, President Bush celebrated the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Bush also signed an executive order intended to help Indian tribal colleges and universities. Later in the day, the President kicked off the holiday week with a rtound of golf at Andrews Air Force Base Golf Course. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
I was listening to KTSA, Jack Riccardi and he was asking listeners if they thought this flood was worse than the FLOOD OF 1998. What do you think? I think it has rained more but not been as dangerous because there has not been as many deaths this time around.
After dinner last night we drove out IH10 to Boerne Stage and there was lots of damage in that area. What's it doing tomarrow? I am sooo bad, I never watch local news so I have not a clue!
Great pictures as usual! Love George W. and Laura Bush!
God Bless America
How can one get involved in the weekly chat? Thanks!
It was 68 here -- the skies are conflicted. Clouds, sun, nice breeze. Perfect walking weather. Put in 55 minutes briskly along the big lake's shore nearby. It's supposed to be about the same on the 4th. The good news is I like that kind of weather better than 100 degrees. And the other good news is I did a web search for walking trails in my county and found miles and miles of them!
And tormented. Check out his eyes and the muscles around them -- perfect example was posted on the Dose a couple nights ago when the wannabe prez was struttin' with the Missus. Also check out the plastic smile.
Hi, I just got a phone call from Jan and she said the drs. found out what is wrong with her. Her bicarbs are all messed up which is affecting her acid/alkaline levels and that is messing up her whole body. I have never, ever heard of such. MamaB
It's not a lot of fun to come to FreeRepublic and face the negativity of the Bush bashing so I don't have the incentive any more to drop in as much. I do try to read the Dose before I go to bed at least every other day and sometimes come on line earlier to join in. I think you all are tops!
And, too, we can pray for God to redeem Israel out of all her troubles - and America too - for the troubles are many.
Here is a prayer for all tonight or tomorrow who read this for God our redeemer to forgive us all our sins and for Him to redeem us all out of our troubles.......for they are many...but He is faithful and is with us through them all. May He redeem these troubling times - bringing us through them - and making even our enemies to be at peace with us!
God bless all on the 4th! And God deliver us from our enemies on the 4th and on into days ahead. Thank you, Dear God, for the deliverance from further attacks from 9-11 through today. Deliver us tomorrow, and beyond. Thank you, Holy and Righteous Redeemer! Amen!
Psalm 25
A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness
A Psalm of David.
1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
2O my God, I trust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
Let not my enemies triumph over me.
3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4Show me Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
5Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.
6Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness' sake, O LORD.
8Good and upright is the LORD;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
9The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11For Your name's sake, O LORD,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12Who is the man that fears the LORD?
Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
13He himself shall dwell in prosperity,
And his descendants shall inherit the earth.
14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
15My eyes are ever toward the LORD,
For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am desolate and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
18Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
19Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
20Keep my soul, and deliver me;
Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.
22Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all their troubles!
and to tell you, there are no calories in cybercakes.
Well, he might have been tormented in that pic because he needed female undergarments, which is hard to accept for an alpha male, or most likely he's tormented because he sold his soul to the devil to get into national politics as a RAT.
Then again, look at our beautiful President's face.........his eyes are filled with joy and peace, and he radiates love around everyone..........especially his beloved Laura!
Speaking of whom, I'm working on a sketch of her! I want to capture her laughing eyes and sparkling smile.....and I won't quit until I get her just right!
The kidneys and the lungs are the two biggest organs in regulating the blood acidity via bicarbonate, which is carbon dioxide changed into a salt form that is soluble and can be excreted via the kidneys, where carbon dioxide (our waste product after breathing in and 'burning' oxygen) is excreted as a gas via the lungs.
There are lots of reasons why this system can be overloaded with acid (like diabetic ketoacidosis) and bicarb thrown off kilter trying to regulate the excess acid or alkali(base).
Please don't let the nasties get you down permanently! They are a despicable lot, and are filled with so much hatred and anger that they are to be pitied.
We need your wisdom and knowledge around here, and the information you can share about our fantastic President is really needed. You are a treasure and you need to stick around!

My cat is a very messy eater. He takes a mouthful of food and shakes his head, throwing half of it everywhere! He does it with both wet and dry food. His feeding area looks like a war zone. — Micah Wilson
Your cat has bad table manners, but that might not be his fault.
A vet needs to take a good look at his teeth. Loose teeth, fractured teeth, gum disease and tooth resorption (an erosion of the dental structures) are all possible culprits. Your cat may be shaking his head in pain as bits of kibble and chunks of wet food make contact with sensitive spots.
If your kitty passes his dental exam, you'll have peace of mind and go home with advice for caring for those choppers. If he doesn't, your vet can set him on the path toward healthier teeth. As for the war zone, you may just have to include the cleanup on your list of daily chores. Maybe buy him a placemat.

Yes, Laila, those "NO WAY" moments keep adding up. Like the Cavendish experiment which nobody can duplicate but tells us the weight of the earth, moon, sun and stars. Click here for 6 min video discussing Cavendish experiment
There are many issues, such as the gravity issue, that are taught at the highest, most esteemed levels of education which are kept inside the scientific discussion when they simply should not be there.
Yesterday I heard someone talking about sigils and words...how they are a form of magic. I can say something and put it inside your mind. I can say, for example, Blue Box and the image of a blue box will be instantly formed inside your mind. When this is done enough times, it becomes our reality. It shapes who we are and how we experience reality.
When you consider the sheer number of times we are subject to an image of the ball earth rotating in space.....well....it's almost impossible to change that reality for the truth.
Haven't read the expanding world text yet....but it's on the "To Do" list!
I should have read all the comments before adding more in bits! Sorry! Snafu, VL , and what VL just said is what I have exactly been doing and finding too! There is no A-Ha moment, had plenty of NO-WAY!! moments , but with more and more people interested to see with their own eyes and on this same journey, maybe there WILL be an A-Ha moment soon! I can't wait! and in the meantime, this is all way too fascinating the deeper you look! And when you dare to search youtube, you will realise that there are hundreds of thousands of people who are on this same journey to find the truth of the matter. Hundreds of videos, dozens of which are really good. The more well known truth seekers out there who do good work in alternative media don't want to touch the subject yet because it instantly creates a divide and takes away their credibility! ( That's understandable, I am risking mine talking such crazy talk!, LOL)But when you dig deep, many of them, it seems, are starting to have their personal ideas about the truth of the matter. What an amazing mystery.
VL, cool! let me know what you think when you have read it! It is a bit repetitive through the middle of it but it needs to be so stick through it to the end. It's not a long read. Just a mind bending one! Hehe!
Yes Martin! I already had expanding Earth and hollow Earth as my theory of everything, but there is more!? How does it all fit? All it really tells me is there IS more than we can imagine, I wish someone out there would put it all together! LOL!
Well, Snafu...there was no "Ah-ha" moment, per se.
It was a combination of many things over many months....not the least of which are the problems with the Theory of Gravity. Then, the Coreolus Effect presented similar problems. The ancient Greeks supposedly proved the globe earth but their experiments are faulty....and can be proven so with modern optics. Modern flight paths suggest a flat configuration. The Michelson/Morley experiment (and many others). Crepuscular sun rays. Pendulums. Time lapse photos of the stars. High altitude balloon photos and videos from many sources. The absence of curvature math in any military or construction blue prints or procedures involving high velocity vehicles. Ancient maps that shouldn't be possible. Various experiments inside vacuum chambers. The fact that rockets don't work inside vacuum chambers. The suspicious math surrounding the round earth (too many coincidences and too many "666's") The words and ideas of Nicola Tesla versus Albert Einstein. Flight paths of NASA rockets. Personal observation. The Antarctic Treaty. Tides that effect the oceans but no bodies of fresh water. Admiral Byrd. The inability of the world's best scientists to address directly any of the above. The inability of any of the best funded web sites to directly address any of the above. It's all emotional name-calling or faulty science.
Stuff like that.
I don't know how Nibiru fits in to this or comet impacts. The video of the Chicago skyline with the meteorologist doesn't hold up. People are repeating distance-viewing experiments every day with the same question....How is this possible? It's like the meteorologist who said that chemtrails are just military chaff being sprayed for our safety from foreign radar. Perhaps I have become cynical but anything on mainstream is suspicious to me. It's just another opinion....but opinions are what separate us and seem to be eagerly fueled by the Construct (Powers That Be).
Next, comes the holographic nature of our reality. The Buddha said 2,500 years ago that our reality is an illusion. Physicists now confirm this. Apparently we all somehow participate in co-creating this reality. Maybe it's just like Shakespeare said...."All the world's a stage..."
One thing is for sure...it's a wonderfully exciting time to be alive and participate in whatever the heck is going on.
I found the book too Laila. Easy to read and download .PDF. The rest of you can get it here: http://www.taotv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Worlds-Beyond-the-P... 2.1Mb
I've always thought Expanding Earth made the most sense and explained the most issues. A 4 ton Dinosaur couldn't stand up today but millions of years ago when it only weighed half a ton because the Earth was much smaller, no problem. The Continents fit together rather well when you use a smaller earth "Globe". Expanding Earth answers too many questions Tectonic Plate theory just can't answer.
There's a video of the Chicago Skyline from 50 miles away. The video I saw had a meteorologist explaining it as a mirage. That's exactly what it is or there wouldn't be just a couple of pictures of it, there would be thousands. A repeatable demonstration. It's not repeatable.
Think of it like the video making the rounds now of 2, count em, 2 suns in the sky with the explanation that one is Nibiru. It's just an illusion.
Maybe VL can share the Ah-Ha moment that led her to believe the Earth is flat.
Vinyl Lady: "I truly wanted the "Flat Earth" concept to be a psyop lie designed to divide and conquer. It was life changing to discover the opposite was true. Everyone who sets out with determination to debunk the flat earth idea ends up proving the opposite."
Oh dear! I hadn't even thought about Expanding Earth, Hollow Earth, etc. Confirmation of any of those ideas would be difficult....which doesn't mean they are not worth considering. For me, the whole FE thing was an adventure in attempting to root out my own arrogance....to shake up my own ideas/opinions about the way things are. Many in the FE camp are using the FE data as an excuse to return to their Christian (or other monotheistic based) religions.....exchanging one set of beliefs for another. That doesn't make any sense either.....altho if we ARE indeed the center of some reality....how was that created and why? Do we have a hand in this creation or is it some Father God figure having an adventure...or something else altogether?
It's almost as if "What IF, What IF.."is a horrible mind trap that we get caught inside....endlessly spinning...hoping we can think our way to truth. For me, FE has become another addiction of sorts....a place to go when a moment is dull....another distraction. The true work is, of course, taking the journey inside but it's not nearly as alluring to the busy, chattering mind. So there will be no nose rubbing from me!
Laila: I found the book by Giannini and will have a look. It's free online. YAY!
Snafu: I sympathise!
Thank your lucky stars I didn't mention Expanding Earths, Hollow Earths (with us on the outside) and Hollow earth (with us on the inside), earth-centic solar system models and spiral vs. planar solar system models...hehehe!
And yes VL, it is all maddening and mind bending. Maybe one day someone will actually reach the big wall surrounding the flat earth, then all the FE'rs will be rubbing us round earther's noses in it.!
VL, I am still trying to absorb a book I read by F. Amadeus Giannini. Worlds beyond the poles, Physical continuity of the Universe. Fascinating.
I know your pain, Laila!
Most people (like myself) assume the earth is much bigger than it actually is....according to the Powers That Be (mainstream scientism). The earth isn't even 8,000 wide. As we rise above the surface we should be able to see curvature. There should be math for curvature in the construction of long, underground tunnels, bridges, train tracks. There isn't. There should be compensation required when flying in an airplane to avoid flying off into outer space. There isn't. Something as simple as a large pendulum should always be in motion if the earth is rotating. The stars...how could you possible get a time lapse photo of all the stars rotating around the North Star on a spinning globe? You could only get that picture if you were very close to the North Pole. On and on it goes.
*sigh* It's truly maddening. The implications are horrendous.
Still looking for the curve.

Relational Theory, Help!!
Hi Everyone,
This is my first ever post, so not entirely sure where to post it so I thought I'll start here.
I'm relatively new to DB's and relational ones at that, so my question may seem a little stupid.
I'm creating a database for my university project and at present I creating the conceptual model along with a relational representation and a domain of discourse all of which appears to be ticking along, that is until I get to the contraints on relations and how I present them.
The DB is a event booking system, where staff book holidays and managers book sickness, training, emergency holiday etc.
My problem is this...I need to do is prevent no more than 2 TeamLeaders being off on holiday at the same time, but I keep hitting a brick wall or my relational expression appears for too long to make sense.
I can join 2 relations in Staff and Event to show all TeamLeaders who have booked Holiday. However, I want to prevent more that 2 being off at the same time, if they book the same Holiday Event (AD01) which is Annual Leave for a dayshift, if they are in the same Deparment for the same date. This also needs to prevent overlaps where between start dates and finish dates.
This is what I've achieved so for by the following expression.
constraint (TeamLeaderHoliday alias (project (select Staff where Position = TeamLeader) over StaffNo, Position )join (project (select Event where Reason = Holiday )over EventCode, StaffNo, StartDate, FinishDate, Reason, DepartmentCode)) is empty
Which I hope will produce something along these lines.
StaffNo Position EventCode StartDate FinishDate Reason DepCode
12348 TeamLeader AD01 12/03/2013 12/03/2013 Holiday GGIn
12347 TeamLeader AD01 12/01/2013 12/01/2013 Holiday GGIn
12349 TeamLeader AD01 10/01/2013 12/01/2013 Holiday GGIn
12347 TeamLeader AD01 12/03/2013 12/03/2013 Holiday HCler
12345 TeamLeader AD01 12/03/2013 14/03/2013 Holiday HCler
12342 TeamLeader AD01 14/03/2013 14/03/2013 Holiday HCler
12341 TeamLeader AD01 23/07/2013 30/07/2013 Holiday HInd
12341 TeamLeader AD01 23/07/2013 30/07/2013 Holiday HInd
12346 TeamLeader AD01 23/07/2013 30/07/2013 Holiday HInd
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
