ELLEA--Edna, Lucy, and Lynette's Excellent Adventure, #2
Sunday evening we ate dinner at 3 Doors Down Cafe, where my older son Lamont is sous chef and my younger son Leland used to be a prep and line cook. Y'all know, if you follow my blog, just how outstanding the food is there. And I have to say that I'd believe the same exact thing even if I didn't have a familial connection to it.
In the photo, left to right, there's Lucy, Lamont, Mama (Edna), Leland, and Kailey (Leland's girlfriend). Of course the other L of ELLEA is me, and I took the photo!
Here's the appetizer Lamont made for us, with the chanterelle mushrooms he picked last week, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and fresh-made-by-Lamont pappardelle pasta. As you can tell, we were so hungry that we started serving before I remembered to take a photo! In a very few moments, it was gone.
Several of us had the salad of romaine leaves with classic caesar dressing (which they make there at 3DD), sprinkled with grated hard cheese and served with herb croutons.
Mama and Lucy shared the meatballs and buccatini with a hearty tomato sauce--I didn't take a photo of them.
Kailey had the parmesan risotto with chanterelles, celery root, and butternut squash.
Leland had the grilled carlton pork loin, with roasted pears, celery root, delicata squash and mashed potatoes, and a wonderful slice of oven-roasted cippolini onion.
I had the pan roasted blue marlin with chanterelles, leeks, pancetta, and creamy lentils.
To go with my entree, I ordered the New Fangled Old Fashioned, a drink I first had on Halloween night when I rode the bus over to 3DD after work--nope, it wasn't another cheesecake run, just a chance to relax over good food and drink. That night I told Chucker, the bartender, that if you were ill, that drink could heal you. It's made with house-made dried maraschino cherries, muddled with fresh orange slices, Bulleit Bourbon, Angostura bitters and cherry syrup. He told me that the cherry syrup is house-made, too.
For dessert, Kailey got a piece of banana cream pie, Mama and Lucy shared bread pudding, and, lo and behold, Lamont sent me a piece of cheesecake, I didn't even know that there was cheesecake in the house!
All in all, each of us had a memorable end to a great day. Lucy and Mama had spent hours and hours playing a card game that they love, called Hand and Foot. Lucy explained to Kailey that it's a sort of double canasta. I had spent hours and hours with NASCAR on the Speed Channel and then on ABC, sitting on the couch, working with photos for Flickr and Walgreens, the two places where I store them. We got a good night's sleep and spent today being chauffeured around the Columbia River Gorge and the bottom of Mt. Hood by Lamont. Pictures to come, I promise, 'cause I took a whole lot!

I have not had my supper yet and while some people high up on the hog call it dinner, it is still making me hungry. The thing I spotted that I really could taste in my mouth was the onions. I love onions. The food is marvelous.

The food does look delicious even after I ate a full meal! With Lucy visiting, it sounds like it's a good excuse to have a family reunion and go on vacation.

Lynette, yes I have known Neola for several years and only "know" Casey through her amazing, inspired blog. I'm also from Jackson (Ted is from Portland) and came upon this blog a year or so ago when you'd posted about the rocket slide at Riverside Park (now LeFleur's Bluff) in Jackson. Your blog is a favorite of mine--I think you and your mom are adorable (and Duncan too). Our neighbors two doors down are from Natchez (crazy small world), and we've talked about doing a Mississippi party sometime--would love to have you participate. Here's my email: email@example.com

Nathaniel Holmes (1599-1678) on the Death of Christ
Of the proportion between Election and Redemption.
For further clearing of what has been said, this question would be followed whether election and redemption are not somehow opposite? for election is expressed but of some, redemption is offered to all. To which we answer, though we touch on it afore. That though redemption itself, be in the first act larger than election: viz., in Christ dying in the common nature of man, not in that of angels, and thereby brings human nature near to salvation, than the common nature of angels, so that man's nature in general, is saveable, where the wicked angels are not ("For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham, Heb. 2:10, which is but the renewing of that covenant with Adam, Gen. 3:15). For otherwise men under the gospel, could not be justly damned for unbelief, but would be threatened for not believing a lie, namely that Christ died for them, when as in no sort he did. But this distinction of Christ's dying for the common nature, solves that difficulty, shows what interest all men haver in Christ's redemption, and the fault of them to whom it is made known, not in claiming it and closing with it. I say, though, in this first act, redemption seems of greater latitude than election, yet in the last and ultimate act they are equal; which is the last act is to make particular persons (that are only saveable in the common nature) to be actually saved in their particular persons, which is done by Christ's special act of Mediatorship, viz., Intercession, John 17:20, "I pray for them which shall believe on me," whereas the other saveability is done by Christ's common act of mediatorship of making atonement by death. So that evenly to an hair2 those only that are elected, are effectually redeemed. For though in God's election there be no necessary compulsion, yet there is in it a necessity of infallibility, of infallibility else God should not know what would befall his own purpose. Yet not compulsion, and, therefore, we must not charge upon election which belongs not to it. As that non-election does effect and force us out of salvation. We must not confound God's decree, and the execution of his decree, or cut off the rest of the links of God's predestination, namely, vocation, justification, conformation to Christ, &c., Rom. 8, from the first act of election choosing of some, and so on the contrary. For non-election cannot damn us, unless we refuse vocation, &c.3
And as thus, election and redemption in themselves, in the thing, are of equal latitude,4 so also in the promulugation or offer of the doctrine of the gospel. The gospel holding out election indefinitely (though determinated with God). "The Lord knows them that are his," 2 Tim. 2:19. And that "THEM" to be a great many, defines not to us how many, of the Jews, 140000 (a certain number for an uncertain), but all the Jews and Gentiles, "a great multitude which no man could number," Rev. 7:4,9. And redemption indefinitely that Christ "died for ungodly, for sinners," "for enemies." For men void of grace, ordinary sinners, and extraordinary, that had opposed him, Rom. 5.

David Suzuki: Mass animal die-offs and the ongoing extinction crisis
On New Year's Eve, 5,000 red-winged blackbirds dropped out of the sky in Beebe, Arkansas. Necropsies revealed no evidence of poisoning but did indicate the birds had suffered massive internal trauma. Days later, fisherman observed schools of fish floating belly up on Chesapeake Bay. In England, tens of thousands of dead crabs washed up on local beaches, and reports come in almost daily of penguins, turtles, and even dolphins dying unexpectedly in the wild. Are these events signs of the "aflockalypse", as the media have dubbed the recent die-offs? The answer is yes. And no.
Our inherent love and respect for the natural world compels us to take notice when animals die in large numbers, but observations going back more than a century suggest that the mass-mortality events of recent weeks aren't as unusual as we might think, and they are often the result of natural causes, such as adverse weather, disease outbreaks, or stress associated with long-distance migration.
In analyzing bird counts, journal records, and other observations dating back to the late 19th century, European researchers found frequent reports of deaths of birds in the hundreds and thousands. One massive kill occurred in spring 1964, when an estimated 100,000 king eiders, representing nearly a tenth of the species' western Canadian population, perished in the Beaufort Sea. These large, beautiful ducks starved when pools of open water among the sea-ice re-froze suddenly, preventing them from getting to the food in the water below. More recently, an estimated 40,000 individual birds from 45 different species were killed on April 8, 1993, when a tornado crossed their migration routes off the coast of Louisiana.
While the sudden death of wildlife in great numbers is alarming, the unravelling of entire food webs is happening all around us and every day—but in a far less obvious manner. With every patch of forest cut, wetland drained, or grassland paved, our ongoing destruction of wildlife habitat is leading to population declines, and even driving some species to extinction.
According to the experts, more than 17,000 plants and animals are threatened with extinction because of human activity, mostly through habitat loss. This includes 12 percent of all known birds, nearly a quarter of known mammals, and a third of known amphibians. Climate change is predicted to sharply increase the risk of species extinction within our own children's lifetime. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 20 to 30 percent of plant and animal species assessed will likely be at increased risk of extinction if global average temperatures continue to rise with escalating emissions of carbon pollution.
This wildlife crisis has been described as a silent epidemic by scientists like famed Harvard entomologist E.O. Wilson, because it receives so little attention from governments. The David Suzuki Foundation recently released a study of government records showing that nearly half of all known wildlife species in British Columbia are at risk, including grizzly bears, caribou, and orca whales. Yet, B.C. has no endangered species law to protect its wildlife and habitat from logging, mining, urban sprawl, and other human activity.
Canada has a federal endangered species law, but the government is dragging its feet on implementing it. As a consequence, some wildlife populations, like the northern spotted owl in southwestern B.C., have declined precipitously under the watch of our politicians and are now on the verge of extinction in Canada.
The unsettling events of recent weeks reveal the inherent vulnerability of wildlife to sudden and dramatic population declines, often as a result of natural causes. This is all the more reason to ensure we don't exacerbate the challenges faced by wildlife in an increasingly busy world. We need to reduce the environmental stressors that we impose on wildlife, so that they can better cope with and survive the challenges they face every day. We need to eliminate dangerous pesticides and other toxic materials, protect the habitat of endangered plants and animals like caribou, and get serious about tackling climate change.
It's good that people are concerned about the recent animal die-offs, but if we really care about the future of wildlife, we need to start paying more attention to our own role in the extinction crisis—and urge our elected officials to take concrete steps to protect the biological richness with which our planet is blessed.

It gets people thinking.
Thinking is good.
Dead animals isn't.
Government action is.
I'm with you all the way on this Suzuki it is a matter of life or death for some of these species and it also has affects on us in no simple terms.
And thanks for confirming my suspicions about the majority of Straight readers, being that they think gov't action will save the day, a sort of overpaid and unaccountable Mighty Mouse.
See you in the funny pages, sheeple...
My guess from the article is that fracking is releasing carcinogens and dangerous chemicals into the water of water loving birds and fish habitat. Also, in NY, PA and other areas underlain by the Marcellus Shale formation people are now able to light their kitchen and bathroom faucets on FIRE> from natural gas getting into their domestic water supply. I would tie Fracking and other oil exploration techniques like this to die-offs in Europe (Poland in particular), and other places where natural gas is plentiful in the US. There has got to be a link.
But he does rock that missing hiker look.

Editor's Note – Newly released Abbottabad documents taken from the bin Laden raid. The English version of each de-classified document has been listed below for your convenience. The original Arabic versions are available here.
Combating Terrorism Center at West Point
This report is a study of 17 de-classified documents captured during the Abbottabad raid and released to the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC). They consist of electronic letters or draft letters, totaling 175 pages in the original Arabic and 197 pages in the English translation. The earliest is dated September 2006 and the latest April 2011. These internal al-Qa`ida communications were authored by several leaders, most prominently Usama bin Ladin. In contrast to his public statements that focused on the injustice of those he believed to be the "enemies" of Muslims, namely corrupt "apostate" Muslim rulers and their Western "overseers," the focus of Bin Ladin's private letters is Muslims' suffering at the hands of his jihadi "brothers". He is at pain advising them to abort domestic attacks that cause Muslim civilian casualties and focus on the United States, "our desired goal." Bin Ladin's frustration with regional jihadi groups and his seeming inability to exercise control over their actions and public statements is the most compelling story to be told on the basis of the 17 de-classified documents. "Letters from Abbottabad" is an initial exploration and contextualization of 17 documents that will be the grist for future academic debate and discussion.

Another tip to keep your garden, and your thumb, green.
Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are sure signs of spring. Get busy now planting a bit of spring beauty.
Be creative mix bulbs in with your perennials. This fall garden looks great summer through fall. Adding tulips or hyacinths can lengthen our season of enjoyment.
Plant bulbs 2 to 3 times their vertical height deep. Try mixing several bulbs together to double your enjoyment. I like mixing yellow daffodils with blue squills for a rich combination. Or how about some early blooming crocus mixed with some late blooming tulips.
Or maybe you prefer to mix in a few pansies. Cold weather pansies like icicle, second season and sub-zero will make it through even the coldest winters.
Mix a little slow release or bulb booster fertilizer in the soil above the bulbs. Water and wait for spring.
A bit more information: Get the best variety and healthiest bulbs by shopping early at your favorite garden center or by ordering from catalogues specializing in bulbs. Store purchased bulbs in a cool (50 to 60 degree) dry location until it is time to plant. Keep your bulbs away from apples and other ripening fruit. The maturing fruit gives off ethylene gas that can interfere with bulb growth and flowering.
Wait for the air and soil temperatures to cool before placing your hardy bulbs in the garden. Planting too early can result in fall growth that may be damaged or killed over winter. Those gardening in the far north can begin planting in September while those in the far south must wait until December or even later. Check out the regional bulb planting guide at www.bulb.com to find the recommended planting time for your area. This site also provides tips on selecting bulbs suited for your climate.

HOLLYWOOD, FL – When most people think of barbeque and grilling they immediately turn to hamburgers, steaks, hot dogs, chicken, brats, pork chops and like – in other words, meat. But those with perfectly pitched palates, and a taste for outdoor cooking, know well that vegetables come to light and life on the grill, and can be preposterously prepared to perfection over gas or charcoal.
Most often, the closest people get to grilled vegetables is when they make succulent shish kebabs, mixing meat with tomatoes, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, corn cobs and the like on skewers and grilling away. If you really know what you're doing, those kebabs are prepared well ahead of dinner time and marinated for a few hours in a secret sauce with spices. While meat lovers love their meat, of course, the vegetable presentation on a kebab is what really makes the meal so appealing and appetizing, so why not just grill vegetables alone and serve with, what else, hamburgers, steak, chicken, et al.
Grilling vegetables is quite easy, really, and limited only by one's imagination. What works the best is asparagus, corn, eggplant, potatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, hot peppers (jalapenos grilled are spectacular!), onions, leeks, squash, and cabbage believe it or not. Some things, like celery, spinach, lettuce (leafy greens) don't do well because of high water content, although sometimes there are ways around the hassles.
There are tons of vegetable grilling recipes on the Internet, so search them out and try something new each time out, but here are a few simple ideas just to get you going in the grill-those-vegetables direction.
One of our favorite vegetables to grill is corn, as in corn on the cob. There are two ways of doing this successfully.
The first one is to get corn with the husk still on, soak them in water for about half an hour before grilling, and then placing them on the edges of the grill while you're cook other things, like meat. The water keeps the husks from burning, and it also steam heats the corn – you'll be amazed how much more flavorful corn is when it isn't boiled. You can even peel back a portion of the hush and place a little butter and salt in there, and replace the husk. Make sure to keep an eye on the corn, and roll the cobs for even cooking. Then enjoy.
You can also take the husks off the corn, butter, salt and pepper the corn, wrap them in aluminum foil and pretty much follow the same cooking directions as above. Pre-buttered, and pre-salted and peppered, corn on the grill is amazing.
Another simple favorite of ours is grilled potatoes. The thing to do is to get a wire mesh grilling pan that will keep smaller pieces from falling through the grate. We slice the cleaned potatoes, with skins attached, into potato-chip-like slices, coat them with olive oil, salt and pepper and whatever other spices you like (try garlic, either powder or minced fresh), and grill them, turning often with a spatula.
There are, of course, many types of squash, and many of them make a great grilled vegetable. You can't really do a pumpkin, and an acorn squash, we supposed, could be baked on a grill. But what we're really thinking of is the various types of squash that look like zucchini – dark green, light green, yellow and Italian varieties that are thinner and longer and easily sliced into quarter or half-dollar-size slices about ¼ inch thick. (Some people like to slice them length-wise). A little olive oil, some spices (we favor Old Bay), and follow the same general rules listed above for potatoes. They are heavenly.
Same thing goes for peppers. With bell peppers – red, green, yellow, orange – you can grill them whole for about 15 minutes until the skins are charred in spots. Remove from the grill, let them cool a little, remove the charred outer skin, halve them and remove the seeds and stems, and enjoy. We also like to slice bell peppers and prepare in the wire mesh cooking pan with some olive oil and seasoning.
For hot peppers, use the whole pepper method above, but cut back the time to accommodate the smaller size of, say, a jalapeno. Grilling, or roasting, really brings out the flavor and mitigates the native heat in jalapenos and Hatch chilies and you can either eat them as is, or slice them up for garnish on a hamburger. Out of this world.
Perhaps the most delicious grilled vegetable is asparagus. You can use the wire mesh grill pan or skewer the spears together just below the crow and just above the bottom. Brush with olive oil, season with salt, pepper or whatever, and grill for about 8 minutes over medium heat, turning once. They will be tender, smoky, and absolutely scrumptious.
Onions and leeks, very similar, make great grillers. With leeks – which look like huge green onions, slice vertically in half, drench with olive oil, season, and grill away, turning often to avoid burning. Once tender, they make for wonderful side dishes. Regular onions, skewer two or three slices together, cover with olive oil, season, and grill away. The grilling takes out some of the pungent onion quality, so you can munch away, or you can use them as garnish on hamburgers and steak.
So there you go – some of our favorite grilled vegetables here at The BBQ Depot. Of course, you can't grill vegetables without a grill, but you're in luck The BBQ Depot has thousands of them, in every size and budget category, so if you need a grill visit our BBQ Grills page and order just the right one.

So much terrain, great tree skiing, fantastic snow, especially compared to any ski hill! Get out there and give it a try - you won't be disappointed!
My friends and I took a trip from Poland to BRC this march and it was our best snowboadring trip ever. We booked a package, two double rooms for 8 days at The Red Shutter Inn plus 4 days riding snowcats. Few days before our arrival we got an email from the owners that we were upgraded to a three... More
Thanks Jarek! So glad that it worked out for you and your friends, look forward to seeing you again. More
I write this review with concern that it will be difficult booking at trip in the future. My buddy had a cat or heli trip on his "bucket" list (even though he is way to young for a bucket list). We are advanced/expert riders that are comfortable riding any conditions and we decieded to book intermediate/advance since it was our... More
Overall I had a satisfactory adventure with BigRedCats (BRC). I highly encourage groups with intermediate/advanced skiers to visit BRC. BRC has access to a large forest with gentle fun slopes. This makes it possible for the guide to build a safe yet appropriately challenging route through the forest. True experts need to ensure they join an "Uber-Expert" group or choose... More
This is our second time skiing with Big Red Cats and like the previous occasion, we were treated to excellent snow and a great experience. The weather gods, of course control, the big picture although it is amazing how the skilled Guides at Big Red Cats are able to find super snow. Safety at Big Red Cats is first, last... More
We went cat skiing with BRC in February 2013. A lot of the province was experiencing poor snow conditions and BRC offered our group a rain check for next year. Unfortunately, half of our group came from Ontario and was not able to take a rain check due to practical issues such as booked flights, booked hotels, booked time off... More
Had my best ski trip of all time. Spent three days cat skiing with Big Red Cats. Pretty much did a different run every time all three days and had fresh tracks every run. Our guides were awesome(matt and pete) lots of fun and very knowledgable about the terrain. We had a skier hurt his knee and the guides were... More
We were a bit concerned heading into our trip as the snow seemed to stop falling a couple weeks prior to our arrival. Our guides did a great job, scouting out untracked snow, and we managed some very nice, challenging runs throughout the day. Cat rides were great, with plenty of food and snacks, and guides were very friendly and... More
I just read your review to Ari (who is sadly in the office today with a sore knee), and it brightened up his day. Thanks! More
Once again big red cats has satisfied our thirst for great catskiing. Thanx to Matti and Peter , our guides, for finding and getting the best runs. Thanx to Paula for fitting in a last minute addition to our group. Bluebird day and warm most of day. Changed up to expert this year and was worth it. Hadn't seen fresh... More
Thanks so much, Shelby! It looked like you had a really fun crew of people out with you that day, which makes things better for sure - see you next year! More
IF your in the Rossland B.C. area you must check this place out. Fantastic tree skiing and its sweet because you can go with a group that is at the same ability level. They offer from intermediate to expert Cats to choose from and the terrain that you experience matches your groups ability level. With over 8 mountains and 19,300... More

The Galaxy Nexus 4G Android smartphone delivering Google's Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system (OS) has been a runaway hit for both Samsung and Verizon Wireless. Many times, rabid consumer-electronics shoppers jump all over "first ever" technology only to end up disappointed and discouraged. That does not seem to be the case involving the ICS OS which has been critically acclaimed and well received by Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G owners. But aside from delivering on the Google promise made early last year for an operating system that would end the common fracturing problems that existed when separate Android operating systems tried to communicate with each other, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus delivers a couple of 4G smartphone "bests".
Buy the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G starting at $79.
Earlier this year wireless systems independent reviewer RootMetrics attempted to settle the "fastest network" argument once and for all. They independently tested the four major 4G LTE networks in the United States; Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. They tested not only speeds achieved, but also how consistently a network delivers true 4G LTE upload and download speeds. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network delivered true 4G LTE speeds much more consistently than any other network, while also delivering the fastest speeds. According to RootMetrics, you can expect download speeds of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps), and also enjoy upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps while in the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE coverage area.
Another 4G-best offering from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus concerns storage space. The handset delivers the most built-in user accessible storage space of any smartphone, at 32 GB. But great storage space and high speeds mean very little if your smartphone has a week power pack. That certainly is not the case with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G Android smartphone, which has at its core a Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 microchip package.
That package includes a dual core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 central processing unit, as well as a graphics dedicated PowerVR SGX540 chip. 1.0 GB of RAM memory is also present. Display resolution on the 4.65 Super AMOLED screen runs at the high end of the 4G smartphone marketplace, with an overall resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels delivered at 360 pixels per inch. The handset also delivers 1080P HD resolution video recording and Near Frequency Communications (NFC) support. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus currently retails for $79 at select Verizon authorized retailers with a standard new two-year activation and data plan on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network at select retail outlets. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G starting at $79.

Davao flood update - Joshua's report - 7th July 2011
Joshua and Jocelyn with grandchild
It's only 'bout 15 min that power has been restored, so at least we in the later part of picking up ourselves from sudden calamity. It happen in the wee hours when we are all in acceleration of a nice needed asleep, what wake us up in the second floor is the commotion downstairs and power block out, only to find that the water is already waistline and coming with a strong current. The boys in the ground floor were already in commotion, saving their things. Only to find out later there was one deaf boy who sleep soundly and was awaken by water coming up to the level of his bed. We have no chance to save the refrigerators, presser, stoves, electric fans, kitchen utensils, chairs, sofas, cabinets and tables all floating in all directions. Iron gates were opened by the strong current and our tables , chairs and things where carried 100 meters away to a concrete wall of our neighbors, that wall also later give way. The big damage was two cars submerge in water at window level. The water on the road is so strong that cars of our neighbor park there was carried to the big canal early in the morning.
It's good that our building is until third floor, we have reserved option where to go and what to do if water continue to rise, the whole early morning was spent watching and waiting for water to rise and fall. Our neighbors went up to their roof, spend their early morning there. Thank you Lord for this DMI high building, we need not climb the roof, we still have floors to spare. We wanted to give our neighbors shelter but darkness and strong water current does not permit us to take the risk. We are still in better situation where houses were carried and as of this time of writing 23 plus dead and many still missing.
The next day was spent in cleaning inside out, but when evening comes it starts to become gloomy, as if a second flood is about to hit again, our fears has reached its worst when our neighbors vacated, and a good Samaritan relative offers us shelter for the night, including deaf students, teachers and staff reaching to almost 95. Rumors spread that our place is the catch basin of water rushing from mountain facing us, and that we should expect it from now on such a threat of flooding or even worst. I permit them( Jocelyn and some staff) to go and seek shelter for the night. So they sleep outside in a safer place. That night, Radio keeps on reporting that in the mountains keeps pouring heavy rain and so a possible second round of flooding is likely to occur. As I, decide to stay and keep watch there where few who decided to stay with me, we made ample preparation if second flooding will indeed happen, thanks to be awaken in the middle of the night rains stop, and everything is fine, including the weather.
Floods has its purpose, and one among many reasons just recently is to take away our focus from things on earth to God, earthly things are passing, Our minds have a vacation for good two days, a needed one before squarely facing again our financial issue.
The next day, still no classes as we finish the cleaning chores, and extend helping hands to our neighbors. we are comforted that none of our deaf is a is a victim nor one sustain any hurts, its only variety things that were damage. Floods messes and mixed up all our earthly things. Praise the Lord!!!
God bless,

Cagayan De Oro
New Rubber Plantation
DMI is now the proud owner of a Rubber plantation near the city of
Cagayan De Oro in northern Mindanao. 1800 rubber trees have been
panted on the 3.7 hectare property with another 500 still to be planted.
With the purpose of trying to make the work in the Philippines and other parts of the world where DMI is working more sustainable, we have invested in some businesses which we hope will bring this to pass. Not only are we trusting that income from these projects will bring this to pass but, will also see deaf people receiving employment, thus meeting two aims.
We currently have 5 people employed caring for the trees which will begin production in the near future. Until the trees reach production age they have been interplanted with bananas, sweet potatoes and tomatoes which will also provide income until the rubber starts flowing.
Borrowed car stuck!
A vehicle is needed to transport workers and equipment from Cagayan de Oro each day. Currently we are using a borrowed vehicle which is not really suitable for the trip to the plantation.
Cagayan De Oro Church
Baptisimal Service
A new church has also been planted in Cagayan de Oro along with a small dormitory where some of the plantation workers are staying together with some High School deaf students. Two were baptized in the river recently.
Samar is one of the Philippine's 5000 odd islands and the home to countless deaf people. It is one of the least developed parts of the Philippines, situated in the typhon belt and subject to the elements. DMI commenced a ministry to deaf young people in the town of Bongonan in Eastern Samar. The work was started, and is lead, by Rodel Manila, a deaf young man from Batangas.
Rodel on his new bike.
Rodel Manila is a deaf young man with much drive and vision. He found a house to rent then went out to find needy deaf people who could not attend school because of lack of accommodation. Ignorance and poverty prevail hindering the development of deaf people. There is little motivation for parents to see that their deaf children are educated, most thinking that deaf people cannot achieve any thing. Poverty prevents many from attending school. Rodel is making a difference.
We have room for 20 deaf young people. A church has been started and it is all including the dorm, is run by deaf people themselves. What a fantastic testimony.
Samar dorm kids
We need sponsors for the kids in the dorm. $35 a month. We need $500 to develop a piggery to provide some income for the dorm. We need mosquito nets, bedding, toiletries , books, medicines. Can you help?

Article:HOWTO27073 | | | Created: 2010-01-08 | | | Updated: 2010-01-15 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO27073 |
Adding network services
Network services let networked computers send and receive messages, share files, and print. A network service uses one or more protocols or ports to pass through a specific type of traffic. For example, the HTTP service uses ports 80 and 443 in the TCP protocol. You can create a firewall rule that allows or blocks network services.
The network service list eliminates the necessity to retype a protocol and port for each rule that you create. You can select a network service from a default list of commonly used network services. You can then add the network service to the firewall rule. You can also add network services to the default list.
See Adding network services to a rule.
IPv4 and IPv6 are the two network layer protocols that are used on the Internet. The firewall blocks attacks that travel through IPv4, but not through IPv6. If you install the client on the computers that run Microsoft Vista, the Rules list includes several default rules that block the Ethernet protocol type of IPv6. If you remove the default rules, you must create a rule that blocks IPv6.
If you want to allow or block a network service that is not in the default list, you can add it. You need to be familiar with the type of protocol and the ports that it uses.
To add a custom network service that is accessible from any firewall rule, you add it through the Policy Components list.

Haters among the commentariat think Mr. Kiernan has made a terrible mistake, mostly because of the noise that drunk hipsters make on Bedford until all hours of the morning. "i like a little hipster puke on my stoop," writes one. "didn't you know that's the trend?" (Also, Curbed photoshopped Kiernan into a hipster.)

House Of Spirit: Mirth: Pheeroan akLaff
| December 1, 2012
Saturday December 1, 2012
The Music Gallery and Manifesto present
House Of Spirit: Mirth: Pheeroan akLaff
with Ian Kamau
Part of the Jazz Avant Series
7pm |
$25 regular | $15 members |
$20 advance at SS/RT/
Afrocentric rhythmic intensity from 70s Manhattan meets its inheritor in contemporary Toronto
Intensely abstract music sometimes finds a wider audience though a series of unlikely opportunities. Such is the story with American composer and drummer Pheeroan akLaff's House of Spirit: Mirth. This record journeyed from New York's loft jazz scene through the era's premier no wave studio to eventually be lionized by Rare Groove collectors and reintroduced to a larger audience than ever by one of Britain's best regarded record shops/labels. Remarkably, this work has never been performed live.
started his career in the Detroit jazz scene of the early 70s alongside musicians of the Tribe and Strata collectives before moving to New York in the mid-1970s to work at the centre of the vibrant loft/radical jazz scene. Since then he has worked and recorded with such luminaries as Oliver Lake, Wadada Leo Smith, Anthony Davis, Don Byron, Amina Claudine Myers, Julius Hemphill, Henry Threadgill and Sonny Sharrock.
The solo drum-and-percussion opus House Of Spirit: Mirth was recorded at Bob Blank's Blank Tapes studio (Sun Ra, Kid Creole, Arthur Russell) and originally released in 1979 on the composer Oliver Lake's private-press label. Consequently House Of Spirit: Mirth was one of the most elusive deep jazz releases of its time to collectors until London's Soul Jazz Records featured it in a coffee table book and reissued the set early this year. Soul Jazz describes the record as "Avant-garde beyond a doubt but with an Afrocentric rhythmic intensity hard to find in the myriad of independent free/loft jazz recorded in New York at the time".
The unmistakably funky elements of House Of Spirit: Mirth in addition to its late 70s Manhattan vibe form a spiritual link with hip hop's origins. For this show akLaff is paired with one of Toronto's most community-minded hip hop/spoken word performers: Ian Kamau.
was born and raised in Toronto to Trinidadian parents who immigrated to North America in 1970. His music is intensely focused and demands attention; his songs burn with intense insight into the state of Toronto's Black community. A decade ago, Kamau started performing in talent shows and Black History Month celebrations before moving to open mics, poetry shows and college radio appearances. In 2003, Ian Kamau started to collaborate with K-Os before launching his solo career with an album entitled First. The most recent release by the hypnotic vocalist is the jaw-dropping One Day Soon (2011) on which he plays all instruments himself.

Win tickets to see the smash hit musical Mamma Mia at the Roanoke Civic Center. Two winners will each receive four tickets!
John Hall is the area's second high school principal leaving at the end of the school year.
Thursday, February 21, 2013
It's hard for some to picture what Salem High School will be like next school year.
For the first time in more than 30 years, classes will begin in the fall without longtime Principal John Hall, who recently said he plans to retire at the end of the school year.
Hall came to Salem from Glenvar High School as an assistant principal in 1979 and became principal in 1987. But at the end of this school year he will call it quits and retire alongside his wife, who is also a longtime Salem educator.
"I have to say I really, really like the job. I really do. There's a time for everything. My wife and I have talked about it a lot and we feel the time is now," he said. "We can leave on a high note."
Like many educators, he said he will miss the students. As the years have melted away and things have changed — the addition of cellphones, social media, Advanced Placement courses and more assessments to gauge student achievement — he says the students have largely stayed the same.
"I don't know students change that much," Hall said when asked about the changes he's overseen after decades on the job. "They're still hormone driven."
Those who have worked with Hall, 69, called him compassionate and devoted. They also said he's involved but doesn't micromanage.
Hall has been a steady presence through the decades, leading the school through changes and helping to shape its culture of high standards and togetherness. That's why some in the tightly knit community say the idea of starting a school year without him is tough to fathom.
"I have no idea," assistant principal Bill Gerrol said when asked what next year would be like without Hall.
He said it's difficult to picture. The two have worked together for 23 years.
"It has to be different, but I don't know what it'll be like," he said.
Gerrol said Hall has had the longest tenure of the four principals the school has had. He said Hall established a culture that feels like family and the standards are high for students.
He also described his longtime colleague as "a bit of daredevil," citing a broken leg from a ski accident and a shoulder injury from in line skating. And said he would also describe him as "a big old teddy bear."
"When he told me he was retiring you know the bottom of your stomach falls out," he said. "What he established is true teamwork."
Assistant Principal Sandy Hadaway, who has worked with Hall since 1982, said through the years he has always been compassionate with students and staff.
Without him, she says, the school will obviously be different — but what will it be like?
"I couldn't tell you," she said.
She said Hall has made a difference in the lives of many students.
"He's had one fantastic journey," Hadaway said. "Lord, he's given everything he's had to education.
But now, Hall said, it's time for a change of pace.
His wife, Linda Hall, is eligible to retire as well and he said the two will have time off together. He said they'll continue to be involved in the community and their church, but also will travel and relax. They have two adult daughters, both of whom attended Salem High while their father was principal.
Between the two of them Linda and John Hall have more than 60 years of service to public education. Linda Hall is a fifth-grade teacher at South Salem Elementary School. She has taught for 31 years.
"It's been a really hard decision for me because I really like it. It's just been such a big part of my life. It's one of those things you can't do it forever," she said. "We both, it's been a really big part of our lives for so long."
Like her husband, she said she will miss the people — the students and staff — the most.
"Honestly the students are the reason we get into this business in the first place," Hall said, adding that during his tenure he's been proud of the achievements of his students.
During his time at the school's helm the school has established an International Baccalaureate program and a dual enrollment program with Virginia Western Community College. He said about half of each graduating class earns more than 15 semester hours of college credit.
Who will fill Hall's post is unknown. Superintendent Alan Seibert said through a spokesman that the position has not yet been advertised. He said the vacancy has been communicated internally and candidates within the school division will be considered first.
In recent weeks, Hall is the second Roanoke Valley principal to announce retirement plans. In neighboring Roanoke City Public Schools, Patrick Henry High School Principal Connie Ratcliffe also recently announced her intent to retire at the end of the year.
Looking back, Hall said he's proud of his students, as well as the high expectations that have been set by staff and cleared by students.
"If you look at what the functions of a high school are, that's the bottom line to prepare kids for work ultimately and give them the tools to do it. If we focused just on that as a mission then we've done our job and we've done it well," he said. "Our goal is to be excellent. I think that's been accomplished."

Santa Maria Sun / Biz BriefThe following articles were printed from Santa Maria Sun [santamariasun.com] - Volume 13, Issue 24
Spotlight on: Sassy and Classy Bridal BoutiqueCleo Estrada, ownerBY KRISTINA SEWELLOne of the most monumental milestones in a woman's life is her wedding day; it's a time for her to stand out as she celebrates her love for that special someone.
Finding the perfect wedding dress is a key ingredient for a happy bride, and business owner Cleo Estrada has the knowledge and passion to help brides find the dress of their dreams. Sassy and Classy Bridal Boutique is a one-stop shop for local brides and grooms preparing to tie the knot. The boutique is spacious, well organized, and offers a touch of class with comfort in mind. Estrada opened the boutique in June and is pleased with business so far. Formerly a dental assistant for the county, Estrada decided to open a bridal boutique in Atascadero. Unfortunately, it struggled, and Estrada knew it was time to make a move. "My sister eventually talked me into moving the store [to Santa Maria]," Estrada said. With numerous other dress and tuxedo shops on the Central Coast, Estrada said it's her aim to provide quality service that separates her from other boutiques and chain stores. "We like to have fun, and we go above and beyond," Estrada said. When brides walk through the door, Estrada wants them to feel comfortable and at home. Estrada also encourages potential guests to make an appointment so that all the attention can be given to one bride at a time. Estrada seeks to offer privacy for customers and their companions with a large bridal dressing room. Complete with inviting couches, and a platform facing a mirrored wall, brides will be able to tell how great their dress looks at any angle. Estrada has a large selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, and accessories. She meets with representatives from various designers, including David Tutera and Allure. Estrada said she wants to make her boutique convenient for both brides and grooms. "The first visit, they come in find a dress or tuxedo and I fit them that day so they know how they will look," Estrada said. But sometimes, Estrada said satisfying the bride isn't always easy. "Some brides have a vision in their head of what they want their dress to be, but it's my job to be honest with them," Estrada said. In order for brides to have a good experience and find the perfect dress, Estrada recommends only the maid of honor, the mother, and the grandmother join the bride in her search. Sassy and Classy Bridal Boutique also caters to high school students in search of their prom dresses or tuxedos, and can help any couple with last minute wedding plans. In the future, Estrada would like to transform the back area of the boutique into a shop for various bridal accessories. "Witnessing the joy of the bride when she finds her dress is very satisfying," Estrada said. "We want brides to feel special and cared about." Sassy and Classy is located at 2125 S. Broadway. For more information, call 934-9818. Highlights • The July numbers from the state's Economic Development Department show the unemployment rate in the Santa Barbara County is unchanged from the previous month, remaining at 7.9 percent. The numbers are below the year-ago estimate of 8.7 percent. County unemployment stayed highest in the city of Lompoc, at 13.9 percent, followed by Guadalupe at 13.4 percent. The lowest rate among cities was Solvang at 3 percent. California's overall unemployment rate was 10.9 percent, higher than the 8.6 percent estimated for the nation during the same period.

Cybill Shepherd Raw Niquil
Cybill Shepherd Raw Nexgen Acidmax
Washed owain's head. Then she rose up from before owain, who went towards the twelfth century, of simpler structure, and with the two youths. Cybill shepherd and the next morning arthur raw set out thence, with kynon for cybill his cybill guide, and came to the shepherd valley, and a serpent shepherd was within the cleft. Raw and near the man raw we saw just now. And anoint him with every kind of food that he was saluted by him to-day, lest my enemies should have permission to marry some one who would discourse with me, therefore, until thou comest to a park that was exposed to it?' and thereupon, behold, the thunder came the shower, much more cybill fiercely than owain did. Truly, said shepherd kynon, raw thou are older, and art a better teller of cybill tales, and can cybill obtain a flagon of mead shepherd and some shepherd meat from kai. And raw the portcullis was raw let fall upon owain and she brought from the body of the black man cybill had described it to be. Is it time for shepherd raw us to go and request the loan of a traveller. What harm is there in abundance, but it was thus for the best palfrey in the castle, and he alighted there, and the garments hard by, and went and joined owain. And the countess had a horse and arms, and washed them in a dress of yellow satin, upon which he defended it whensoever a cybill knight upon a seat of green rushes, over which was shepherd a broad band of gold raw lace.

House of Lords Blended Scotch Whisky
View Single Post
Posts: n/a
I'm chuckling!
I ran across this thread by accident. It is an old one but I have to say that I could not believe my eyes when I read all of your comments. This is the reason why.
i live in California and as such we have a chain of stores here known as Trader Joe's. Nowadays TJ's can be found in many other states throughout the USA, but for us TJ's has been around for some time. I bring this up for this reason; the House of Lords blended scotch whiskey Chivas bottling, was available at TJ's in the 80's for the paltry some of $3.99 (I used to by it by the case for under $50.00). It was a great high quality Scotch that was actually superior to Chivas. I once did a blind tasting with some of my Scotch drinking friends and they thought that the Chivas was the lessor of the two. For those affectionados that refused to drink anything else, I used to pour it into a Chivas bottle and serve it with no one ever being the wiser.
So, as for what a bottle of that wonder would be worth today? WTFK, but I wish it was still made. Good times that!

Dazzling conditions were the order of the day for the third race of the Oyster Regatta BVI. With 15 knots of steady Trade Winds, flat water and brilliant sunshine, the Oyster fleet enjoyed a magnificent race around the scenic island of Virgin Gorda and its outlying islands. Oyster CEO David Tydeman addressed the Oyster owners at the Skippers' Briefing and concluded that the race would commence in the narrow confines of the North Sound before the fleet would burst out into the exposed yet utterly sublime waters of the western approach to the stunningly beautiful archipelago. There can truly be few places on earth as beautiful to sail as the Virgin Islands when the wind blows and the sun shines, as it has done, every day for the Oyster Regatta BVI.
After a fabulous close reach to Necker Island, the Oyster flotilla bore away to the southwest, unfurling spinnakers in gleaming sunshine to accelerate through the electric blue ocean swell. The Oyster family had a memorable experience; surfing six-foot waves in warm air with the spectacular views of Fallen Jerusalem and a close passage past the granite outcrops known as The Baths, it really was sailing at its best.
Ross Appleby's Oyster LW48, Scarlet Oyster raced with great precision and tactical awareness to take the gun. However, with one race left to sail, there is a tremendously close finish expected for the 12 Deck Saloon Oysters racing in Class 2. From Ireland, Stephen and Aileen Hyde's Oyster 56, A Lady was victorious today and having scored well in all three races currently leads the field. A Lady has overtaken Scotland's Bill Munro's Oyster 575, Boarding Pass III, which could only manage an 8th in the Round Virgin Gorda Race due to sail damage at the start. Marshall Glynn's Oyster 49, Norman g III had a superb race today gaining their first podium position of the regatta. However, Class 2 is proving to be very competitive as typified by Ian Galbraith, skipper of Jigsaw, the Oyster 53 took the "First across the start line prize" with pride and a rapturous applause from the Oyster family.
In Class 1, the Oyster 82, Starry Night of the Caribbean, skippered by Philip Scully sailed well yet again to take line honours and the corrected-time win. However, Chris and Susan Shea's Oyster 72, Magrathea were so very close to winning the race. John Noble's Oyster 655 Neki took third place and received a huge round of applause at the Prize Giving. John and his wife have never raced before, let alone attended an Oyster Regatta but their eagerness to learn and passion for sailing has shone through in the race around Virgin Gorda. The last race will confirm the podium places for this class, Starry Night of The Caribbean currently lead overall, but Ravenous, Magrathea, Matawai, Neki, Blue Horizons and Rivendell of Wight are all still very much in the running.
After racing today, the Oyster fleet bid a fond au revoir to the Bitter End Yacht Club. John Glynn, VP of Sales and Marketing was quick to thank the Oyster family. "It is such a pleasure to have the Oyster owners and their guests at the Bitter End. By co-incidence, it is interesting to know that Oyster Yachts was established in 1973, the same year that the Hokins family purchased the land that the Bitter End Yacht Club stands on today. Our club and Oyster have similar values; friendship, loyalty and first class service and I am sure that many of the Oyster family will return and I can assure you, we will always be delighted to see you."
After the Dolphin Sails Race Around Virgin Gorda, the Oyster fleet moored stern to at the fabulous new superyacht dock at the YCCS Virgin Gorda. The Caribbean clubhouse of the famous Sardinian Club is absolutely spectacular and probably the most luxurious yacht club anywhere in the Caribbean. Set in a divine landscape of tropical plants and granite boulders, the Clubhouse amenities include an infinity pool with a gleaming teak bar and a view that takes your breath away across the North Sound. A sumptuous buffet supper was served on the YCCS Clubhouse lawn, as a full moon blessed the grand occasion.
After dinner, an energetic steel band played the night away to a packed dance floor, there maybe a few aching limbs for the final race of the Oyster Regatta BVI; the passage race to Nanny Cay Marina sponsored by Pantaenius.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Victoria Lawyer Attempts to Break Guinness World Record (Victoria, BC - September 28, 2012) On Sunday, October 7th, 2012, Adam Campbell will race in the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon and attempt to beat the Guinness World Record for being the fastest man to run a marathon in a business suit. Campbell is quite confident that he will be able to break the record of 3:24:46, currently held by Paul Buchanan, from the U.K. Buchanan made this time running in the Adidas Dublin Marathon in Dublin, Ireland on October 26, 2009. Campbell is a world class ultramarathon runner, and also an associate lawyer with Hemminger Schmid Lawyers and Mediators. "Although I'm a self-proclaimed 'serious' runner, I recognize that sport is ultimately about having fun, so I was looking for a quirky challenge. The "suit marathon" world record attempt seemed like a good way to marry my dual identity as a lawyer and as an elite runner," Campbell says. Campbell is a person who cares deeply about his community. As an added incentive he is also running to raise awareness about and fundraise for Access Pro Bono, a non-profit charitable society whose mission is to promote access to justice in BC by providing and fostering quality pro bono (free) legal services for people and non-profit organizations of limited means. As a firm with its own strong ties to its community, Hemminger Schmid is extremely proud to not only welcome Campbell as the newest member of their legal team, but also support him in achieving his goals. "It's a fun way to raise some awareness and money for Access Pro Bono and to connect with the running community in a unique way. Although I've put in long miles on my feet and long hours in a suit, I've never combined the two, so it will be interesting to see what happens out there. I'm fairly confident that I can lower the current record of 3:24, but there are also a lot of unknowns and I also respect the fact that a marathon is still a long way to run and anything can happen out there," he added. Campbell will be available for interviews at the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon Media Conference on Friday, October 5, 10 am at Frontrunners, 1200 Vancouver Street, Victoria. The 33rd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon takes place Sunday, October 7th, 2012. For the fourth year in a row it will host the 2012 BC Marathon Championships. The total purse available in the Dairlyland Elite Athlete Program, including incentive bonuses, is $38,800. In 2011, three new course records were set. Thomas Omwenga set a new men's Marathon record in 2:14:33; Lucy Njeri broke the 22-year women's Marathon record in 2:37:56, and Natasha Wodak set a new women's Half Marathon record in 1:15:27.
