The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is unique. Built in about 140AD it is the only example of its kind in Britain, being a theatre with a stage rather than an Amphitheatre. Initially, the arena would have been used for anything from religious processions and dancing, to wrestling, armed combat and wild beast shows. From about 180AD the stage came into greater use and the auditorium extended. By about 300AD, after some redevelopment work, the Theatre could seat 2000 spectators.
The ruins one can see today were unearthed in 1847. Subsequent excavations have revealed
a row of shop foundations, a Roman Villa and a secret shrine, all thought to date from the
First Century.

Built between 1403 and 1412, the Clock Tower is the only medieval town belfry in England.
The tower with its fine bell has survived over 600 years of use. The Clock Tower was first and foremost a political statement. The townspeople used it to assert their freedom, power and wealth in the face of the premier Benedictine Abbey of England (now St Albans Cathedral).
The Tower allowed the town to sound its own hours and, until 1863, the Curfew. It also gave the alarm in case of 'fire or fray' – its bell rang out for the first Battle of St Albans during the Wars of the Roses in 1455. Today you can climb the 93 steps to the top of the Tower and enjoy magnificent views of the Cathedral, Roman Verulamium and the historic city of St Albans.

Feast of Trumpets: "A day of complete rest for remembering"
This year the Feast of Trumpets (also called Rosh Hashanah) begins on the evening of September 14, 2015. We put aside our work and gather with other believers, share a meal, blow our shofar, present an offering and worship just as the Lord commanded us in Leviticus 23.
But Leviticus 23:24 also tells us this is to be "a day of complete rest for remembering." Remembering what, it doesn't say. In fact none of the references to the Feast of Trumpets tell us what we're remembering.
To get some perspective, let's go back in time about 3,500 years when the observance of this day was first commanded. (more…)
Purim – The Story of Mordecai
Esther – Queen of Persia, intercessor for the Jews before the King, and the one for whom the book of Esther is written. Understandably, as the heroine of the story, most discussions of the book are meant to inspire people to emulate her. But how many people are going to get the chance to be a queen, and in a position to intercede for their people in front of a king? Re-reading the story this year, I realized Mordecai's role in the whole affair is probably a more realistic picture of what people in any position could aspire to. (more…)
As Hanukkah's Candles, You are the Light of the World
In my first blog about Hanukkah, I explored how the Hanukkah candles symbolize our light in the world and how we partner with God to bring light to the darkness. Our focus was on Isaiah 60:1-3. As I continued my research into the Hebrew words used in Isaiah 60:1, it gave me a deeper understanding into my true power as a light in the world.
Isaiah 60:1 reads, "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you." In a literal Hebrew translation, this would read: "Arise-you! light-up-you! That he-came light-of you and glory-of Yahweh on you he-is-radiant."
The Hebrew seemed to be a much stronger statement, especially the idea that Yahweh is radiant upon us. (more…)
Why Count the Omer, Part 1: The First 40 Days
Counting the Omer – most are familiar with the culmination of the count, which is Pentecost, also called the Festival of Weeks. "Weeks" is taken from the Hebrew word "shavuot" and refers to the seven weeks that precede Pentecost. Leviticus 23:15 tells us to count the weeks between the Feast of First Fruits and Pentecost:
"From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks."
It's called "Counting the Omer" because the omer was the unit of measure used in this counting process of tracking the grain harvest.
In 2015, the Feast of First Fruits occurs on Sunday, April 4th. Pentecost occurs on May 23, seven weeks or 50 days later – thus the name Pentecost.
For the past few years, I've kept count of the 50 days, although not understanding why. I was like a child – obeying my Father because he's my Father. As with all the Feasts, God has been faithful to teach me little by little each year in accordance with my desire for His revelation. Last year brought insights about the count that I had never seen or heard of in my research. (more…)
Why Count the Omer? Part 2: Nine Days of Prayer
In Leviticus 23:15 God instructs us to count the seven weeks (49 days) that occur before the Day of Pentecost (the 50th day) also called the Festival of Weeks and Shavuot in Hebrew. But counting days with no explanation? Why would this be important to God and to us?
For the Israelites, it pertained mainly to their harvest cycle and offerings to be presented. For us living after the time of Yeshua, and the giving of the Holy Spirit to the disciples, we can see the spiritual implications of this count. We know that on the 50th day after Yeshua's resurrection, something unimaginably wonderful happened: The pouring out of the Holy Spirit not only on the disciples, but on all those who come to faith in Yeshua as the Messiah! The implications of that day reverberate even stronger in these last of the last days. The 50th day is one I want to be prepared for every year. (more…)
Why Count the Omer? Part 3: God's Spirit Poured Out
This 3-part blog series focuses on the Lord's instruction in Leviticus 23:15 to count the seven weeks (49 days) that occur before the Day of Pentecost (the 50th day) also called the Festival of Weeks and Shavuot in Hebrew. For the Israelites, the count was about the harvest, thus the word "omer" which was a unit of measure used to count and track grain harvests. Yeshua taught us the spiritual meaning of "harvest" as those ready to receive the good news of the Messiah (Matt 9:37). That's what the third phase of counting the omer is about.
In Parts 1 and 2, I laid out a three-phase structure for the 49-day count:
- The first 40 days
- Days 41-49
- The 50th day
The first two phases prepare us for what's about to happen on the 50th day and beyond. (more…)
The Blessing of the 10 Commandments: A Case in Point
In an earlier post, we reviewed the lifestyle of following the 10 Commandments and the blessings it produces based on Deuteronomy 26:16-19. But God's blessings go beyond human logic. It's not only that if you do this, then that will happen. While that is certainly true in the natural realm, when we pursue God's commands, the spiritual results are compounded beyond what we can imagine. (more…)

A common question is What is an IRRSP examination and what is a state card, and where can I get one? When speaking of radiography and radiation safety an IRRSP card for nondestructive testing is a card nationally recognized in the United states to comply with federal requirements for an individual that is operating a radioactive source for the purpose of NDI nondestructive inspections. An IRRSP is usually only required when using a live radioactive source such as Ir-192 Iridium or Co-60 Cobalt. Although an IRRSP card is available for X-ray tubes being used in nondestructive examinations, most state usually only require minimum training and not an IRRSP or state license card in order to operate an X-ray tube.
Both cards are usually valid for 5 years per Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidelines as set forth in Title 10, Part 34, of the Code of Federal Regulations and require a hands on practical examination to be effective. A state card is a card only recognized for the specific state and it usually cannot be utilized nationally. Some neighboring states do have agreements to accept each other's cards but reciprocity limitations usually hinder the amount of days which one can operate radiography in that neighboring state. A radiographer's card is usually acceptable for multiple isotopes and sources if the appropriate practical examination is administered.
Aqualified NDT company provides training for radiographer assistants, IRRSP preparatory classes and NDT 40 hr Nondestructive Testing Radiation Safety Training classes at your facility or ours. Other Nondestructive Inspection classes include CT computed radiography, 40 hr Radiography level 1, 40 hr Radiography Level 2, designing a dark room, Film interpretation, Automatic Processor Maintenance and Calibration.
Level I-II-III NDT Nondestructive Testing Classes follow the guidelines of SNT-TC-1A, NAS-410, CP-189, MIL-STD-410, NAVSEA T9074-AS-GIB-010/271. NDT courses may be altered to spend extra time on ASME, ASTM E 94, ASTM E 1742, AWS standards or for castings, welds, forgings, aviation parts or composites.
Topics covered in Radiation Safety Include:
- Types of Radiation and which beach is the most radioactive.
- Exposure and Effects to children, pregnant woman and operators.
- Controlling Exposure ALARA keeping yourself and the general public out of harm's way.
- Distance making sure your goods are far enough away.
- Shielding why Homer Simpsons radiations suite will not help you in NDI.
- Radiation Detection
- Radiation Survey Instruments why the movies always use the noise radiation Geiger counter for effects.
- Survey Requirements/Techniques ensuring you maintain a safe environment and control at all times.
- Personnel Monitoring Devices Film badges VS TLD's and which scale is necessary for a dosimeter.
- Radiographic Equipment
- State and Federal Regulations
- Companies Operating/Emergency Procedures and federal and sate requirements
- Handling/Securing of Sources
- Personnel Responsibilities
All of our classes come equipped with humor and personality. Our goal is to engage our students even when covering serious life threatening issues like safety in radiography. The fact is Hollywood is always a great source of what not to do in the real world and it is easy to relate to a famous cartoon like the Simpsons when discussing radiation safety. No one wants Homer Simpson on their job site but sadly history shows Homer is inside of us all and that is why we show the Pizza slides. If you've never seen the pizza slides; trust us when we say, you won't want to eat Pizza for a few days.

Power and influence processes are pervasive and important in organizations, so leaders need to be able both to understand power and to act on that knowledge. Organizations are fundamentally political entities, and power and influence are key mechanisms by which things get done. Therefore, this course has three objectives: to increase your ability to diagnose and analyze power; to expose you to effective and appropriate methods of influence; and to explain how power and influence can be used to build cooperation and promote change in organizations. Although the information provided is relevant to anyone who works within an institutional setting, this course specifically examines power and influence through the lens of leadership: that is, from the perspectives of those who are accountable for achieving particular organizational goals.

The lady at the desk allowed my granddaughter to use her bathroom when she was desperate. I also enjoyed the breakfast bar. One of the best I had ever seen.
For a 2.5 star rating, it was in a less then desirable part of town, people from the parking lot were talking to people on the 3rd floor. The room was tiny and it smelled a little funny.
Air conditioner worked great.
Staff was unorganized. Called me at 11:30pm to verify my credit card information...could that not wait until checkout? They entered in the card # wrong. Called desk to ring a cab, waited for over an hour to find she never called and tried to play it off.
Easy to locate, very helpful staff, free breakfast & Parking, Clean
Loud TV in workout room announcing world's ills! (Tai Chi at waterside parkwas much better)
A really soft big bed. And a really nice room
There was a and hand towel left on the night stand. The breakfast was warm/cold.
Location and VERY COMFORTABLE BEDS!!
Non smoking room smelled like cigars when I walked in the first time
Nice view, clean room and friendly staff
Walls were thin and motel atmosphere leads to loud guests
Nice place to stay. Courteous staff, clean rooms & bedding. Quiet! No slamming doors from other rooms. Nice adult lounge area. I would highly recommend this hotel if you plan to visit this area.
I really like the lack of carpet in the rooms, it is a much cleaner feel. I also loved the bedding and soaking tub.
Good location. Breakfast buffet was good and reasonable
Room was small.
The location and lobby, the room.
The pool and Jacuzzi are in a pretty odd location. Also the hot tub had some murky looking water. In the morning at around 7:30am I had no hot water to shower.
clean and comfortable. The airport shuttle picked me up there
The hotel had changed hands the day I checked in. The front desk computers didn't work my entire stay, housekeeping missed my room the first day I was there, the breakfast consisted of bagged 7-11 type pastries and coffee, and my wakeup call never came on my checkout morning. The staff were apologetic but the facilities were pretty poor.
I liked that when my girlfriend had left her sex toy the person on duty was professional and called to notify me and ask if I could return for it or for an address to mail it to. Of course I returned for it....with a smile and a thank you.
I wasn't able to get to know the maid on a more personal level. I was inclined to tip her for prompt and competent service.
Pretty much everything was cool about oyster bay. Staff is friendly, breakfast is awesome, pretty much everything is good here.
The need for additional cash deposit on top of my visa booking/payment online. Very inconvenient. Was not happy with this.
Room was a little too warm and the air conditioning did not work properly. Otherwise everything was great!
Close to ferries into seattle. Good value.
That I didnt get killed
Not much after finding bed bugs crawling
Bed bugs and dirty sheets
Location was best thing about hotel. Food right across road
Hotel stunk. You walked in and halls smelt like mold. Whole family was sneezing non stop but fine once we left. Very musty and not worth money. Staff was just there... She acted like I was a bother to her while checking in. Didn't check id or anything. Pool was half the size of a normal small pool and beyond freezing. Wouldn't recommend this hotel at all

Monitoring Compliance. Modifying Behavior.
You've probably heard about GPS before, but you may not know how it actually works. Here's a brief explanation.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System. GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense as a precise navigation system for military applications, but has since been opened up to the public.
Twenty-four GPS satellites orbit the earth, constantly emitting radio signals. The satellites are positioned in space so that at least four are visible from any point on earth, at any time. These satellites are the foundation of GPS. Because these GPS satellites constantly "rain" signals down on the earth, anyone with a "bucket" or GPS receiver can "catch" them. Three people could have GPS tracking devices or three billion. It makes no difference.
A GPS receiver needs to "know" where the satellites actually are in order to calculate the receiver's location. This isn't particularly difficult because the satellites travel in very high and predictable orbits. The GPS receiver simply stores information regarding the satellites' position at any given time. Things like the pull of the moon and the sun do change the satellites' orbit very slightly but the Department of Defense constantly monitors their exact positions and transmits any adjustments to all GPS receivers as part of the satellites' signals.
When a GPS receiver locates and "catches" GPS signals, it measures how far away it is from each of at least four separate satellites. By calculating several locations over time, the GPS receiver can also compute speed and direction of travel.
iSECUREtrac takes this technology several steps further by combining communication networks, both landline and wireless, with web-based management software. The company also incorporates several sub-systems to detect, record and report non-compliance and any attempts at monitoring circumvention.
iSECUREtrac GPS systems record location points several times a minute. These devices contact the iSECUREtrac monitoring center at regular intervals and "tell" iSECUREtrac's computers where the monitored individual is, where he's been since the last contact and whether or not he is in compliance with pre-established supervision parameters. The systems then place the updated information on the iSECUREtrac electronic management reporting website so that corrections personnel can check the individual's location and status. Supervising officers can also create geo-fences or boundary zones where the individual is prohibited from going (e.g., elementary schools, spouse's residence, known gang hangouts, etc.) or where his presence is required (e.g., his residence, place of employment, counseling offices, etc.). These boundary zones are more commonly referred to as inclusion or exclusion zones. If the offender violates these zones, the supervising officer can elect to be notified.
Both passive and active GPS can be set to warn the offender that they are getting home late or are too close to a place that is off-limits. With onboard intelligence, alerts to offenders take place immediately – even when the tracking unit cannot access cellular service to communicate with the host.
At the most basic level, there are two types of GPS systems: active and passive. An active GPS system uses a cellular communications network to report locations and violation status. Passive GPS provides the same information but on a delayed basis. Passive GPS usually downloads information a couple of times during a 24-hour period. An Active GPS system, on the other hand, provides location information much more frequently throughout the day and reports violations as they happen, assuming there is cell coverage.
There are GPS systems that can operate in both passive GPS mode (delayed notification) and active GPS mode (real-time violation notification). These are hybrid systems. Typically, they provide real-time notification of certain types of violations (e.g., exclusion zone violations) with delayed reporting of locations and all other violations a couple of times a day. These systems send information to the agency over a time period that is usually much longer than with active GPS, but more frequently than is typical with passive GPS. Hybrid systems typically use cellular technology to transmit the location and compliance status data.
There's a big difference, however, between hybrid systems that have onboard processing or intelligence and those that don't. Those that do will start reporting more frequently as soon as the tracking unit determines a zone violation has occurred. Those that don't may not start reporting more frequently for hours – depending on when the next time the unit was scheduled for regular reporting.
You could argue that a "Hybrid" system with onboard intelligence is more active than an "Active" system without it.
There is also something called "assisted GPS" or A-GPS. There are two types: network assisted and network based. Usually, A-GPS requires an active connection to a cellular communications network and an assistance server. With network assisted, the assistance server supplies orbital data to the GPS tracking unit enabling it to locate and lock on to GPS satellites much faster than would otherwise be possible. Once locked onto GPS satellites, most GPS systems calculate locations autonomously and without further assistance. However, there are some systems that continue to rely upon other technologies (e.g., cell phone or TV broadcast towers) to compute locations. It's iSECUREtrac's position that those devices provide less reliable and consistent data. In the absence of cell or broadcast coverage, for example, location data become less accurate.
With network-based, the location is actually computed by one of the ground based GPS servers. The tracking unit passes the data it receives from the satellites to the server over the cellular network. Then the server sends the location back to the tracking unit where it is stored until the next time it sends data to the host computer. These systems cannot compute their GPS location when they are outside of a cellular coverage area.
iSECUREtrac two piece GPS systems are comprised of two main components: an ankle bracelet or cuff and a Personal Tracking Unit (PTU). The ankle cuff is electronically tethered to the PTU via a radio frequency (RF) signal. If the PTU does not receive an RF signal transmission from the cuff, the PTU records a violation. This violation may indicate that there was an attempt to abscond or circumvent electronic monitoring. Numerous strategies are used by agencies to investigate these violations – including violation resolution by iSECUREtrac's Monitoring Center staff.
iSECUREtrac two piece GPS systems consistently take, compute and store multiple tracking points every minute, not just when the individual is in a violation status. These stored points are complete with time/date stamps and velocity information. This is extraordinarily useful when the monitored individual is in an automobile and can change location, speed and direction in less than 60 seconds. Systems from other companies may take a single point as infrequently as once every 10 minutes.
The more often the system takes points, the fewer and the smaller the gaps in tracking data. This is particularly true when the offender is in an area with spotty cellular coverage and the system relies upon Assisted GPS. However, it's also true when the offender is traveling through areas where buildings, tunnels, bridges and other obstructions along the route are likely to block GPS satellite signals. The savvy offender may be able to take advantage of systems that track infrequently or those more likely to miss tracks – creating a tracking history that provides far less certainty about offender behavior than systems that record tracks frequently and are less subject to "missing" tracks.
In addition, storing multiple points every minute provides necessary detail on the location and movement of high-risk individuals, including the direction and speed of travel. With more points, it's easier to more accurately discern patterns of travel and travel routes. If there is a deviation from a firmly established pattern, it may warrant further investigation by the supervising officer.

iSECUREtrac offers agencies two, two-piece active GPS options: regular active and active GPS with landline capability (ultra-active). Ultra-active GPS can be defined as a GPS monitoring system that has both onboard intelligence AND the ability to use both land-line and cellular communications networks in communicating with a monitoring center.
Personal tracking units (PTUs) with onboard intelligence are able to autonomously compute a GPS location without calling into a server to determine the compliance of the program participant with inclusion or exclusion zone rules. If the individual is in violation, an immediate alert is sent to the computer server and the agency, Command Center and/or the iSECUREtrac Monitoring Center. The speed with which these alerts are generated provides officers with minutes or perhaps hours of more response time which is a unique feature of systems with onboard intelligence.
On board intelligence combined with the ability to record multiple points per minute even when no violations have been detected gives iSECUREtrac's active GPS systems the fastest response time in the industry. As soon as the individual is in violation, the GPS system communicates with the monitoring center over a cellular network which processes the information. According to pre-established protocols, the monitoring center alerts the supervising agency/agent, makes the information available online, and archives the information for later reference. The supervising officer can use any Internet-ready device (e.g., laptop) to see where the offender has been and when he was there. iSECUREtrac electronic management software provides agencies with updated information in easy-to-understand, easy-to –adjust formats including maps with aerial overlays, violation reports, tamper and equipment status and much more. When unable to access the Internet, a call to the monitoring center can provide the necessary information.
Advantages of the System 5000 ultra-active GPS include:
The agency uses a single electronic management software program for GPS, House Arrest/Curfew Management and Alcohol Monitoring. This software can be accessed from virtually any PC connected to the Internet. No additional software is needed. While logged on, an officer can access and change participant information and can create edit, and delete schedules/curfews, and establish inclusion and exclusion zones.

iSECUREtrac Active GPS is a two piece system that includes onboard intelligence and utilizes a cellular communication network in communicating with the iSECUREtrac Host Computing Center. In areas with adequate cell coverage, iSECUREtrac delivers the fastest violation alerts on the market. If cell coverage is inadequate, the PTU processes and stores locations and violations. It continues attempts to report data to the Host Computer until cell coverage is adequate and the data download is complete. Meanwhile, delayed reporting is not apparent to the offender as he continues to receive real-time zone violation warnings. In addition, iSECUREtrac active GPS can be switched to cellular House Arrest remotely and with the virtual flip of a switch.
The advantages of iSECUREtrac active GPS includes:
The agency uses a single electronic supervision case management application for GPS, House Arrest/Curfew Management and Alcohol Monitoring. This software can be accessed from virtually any PC connected to the Internet. No additional software is needed. While logged on, an officer can access and change participant information and can create edit, and delete schedules/curfews, and establish inclusion and exclusion zones. When a PC isn't available, the monitoring service center provides customer support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
iSECUREtrac Passive GPS utilizes the same advanced technology as iSECUREtrac's Active GPS Systems. For example, the Personal Tracking Unit (PTU) utilizes onboard intelligence to autonomously compute GPS locations and compare those locations to compliance parameters stored in the unit, to assess the individual's compliance status. The individual can then be notified in real time that he/she is non-compliant. Rather than report violations to a Command Center in real time, however, iSECUREtrac Passive GPS provides delayed reporting a couple times during a 24-hour period while the PTU is docked within a charging base that's connected to landline communications.
Agencies may prefer delayed reporting when:
The same detailed reporting available through iSECUREtrac's active systems is available with iSECUREtrac's Passive GPS. For example, iSECUREtrac Passive GPS system consistently takes, computes and stores multiple tracking points every minute and not just when the individual is in a violation status.
Most agencies use a combination of systems in their community supervision programs. To determine which iSECUREtrac systems (Ultra-Active GPS, Active GPS, Passive GPS and Alcohol Monitoing) are most appropriate for your agency, it's recommended that you and your iSECUREtrac representative discuss supervision goals, the risk to public safety from individuals participating in the program, and other program parameters.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate writer
Cutting edge ideas are not often associated with museums however the College of Eastern Utah's Prehistoric Museum (CEUPM) wants to change this notion with some of it's newer options for enhancing the museum experience.
As with all museums the CEUPM has had to balance it's exhibits informational content between the extremes of too much, or too little. And while it is ultimately up to the patrons who decide how much information is enough, it can vary widely depending on the person and CEUPM has realized this.
The museum's new project involves a new walking tour around the CEUPM in Price which patrons can call into a phone network on their cell phone and receive as much, or as little exhibit information as they want.
"This is really a breakthrough. The other option was headphones, which are more of a pain for both the museum and the people using them," said Jeff Bartlett, Director of Collection and research at the CEUPM.
The system has seen a great deal of success and since it's beginning last fall it has had to expand into unlimited lines because of the traffic load it has revived. Today the system cost the museum $195 per month, but depending on the month and usage the price and fluctuate.
One thing that the museum prides itself on is that all of the information provided over the system is in house, and all the scripting is done by local employees, who also set up the exhibits and do research. "We're sitting in the middle of a big bull's eye in terms of paleontology, archeology and geology," said Bartlett.
The system along with other internet supported technologies has also enabled the CEUPM to gather more detailed statistics on it's patrons. It is now possible for the museum to see how many people look at a single exhibit, as well as where they are from and how much info most people prefer on a subject. "We've seen people from all over the world," said Director of public relations Christine Trease.
"This is the wave of the future for museums," concluded Bartlett.

St. Lucie School Board votes to move forward with tax referendum
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Voters could decide March 19 whether they are willing to pay an extra tax to support local public schools.
Facing a $17 million budget shortfall compared to the current year, the St. Lucie County School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve moving forward with a referendum election on March 19.
State law allows school boards to propose a referendum for a special millage. If voters approve it, taxpayers would pay $1 per $1,000 of assessed property value, in addition to the regular school district tax.
Schools officials said the special tax could generate about $15 million a year for four years.
By the board's action Tuesday, the referendum will now be forwarded to the St. Lucie County Commission who will have to call for the special election.
Over the last five years, the district has had a cumulative cut in tax collections of about $240 million because of declining property values and the state lowering the district's tax rates.
Because the state sets the main school tax rate, there is little the district or board can do to change the rates. The board can vote to only decrease and not increase the property tax rates the state proposes.
"Everyone that's paid attention knows we're facing a $17 million cliff July 1, absent the federal government's issues and the union's asking for over $20 million of additional costs," St. Lucie County Schools Superintendent Michael Lannon said.
"Without additional revenue there's no way to be able to do that." Lannon said if the tax is approved, the plan is to use half the money generated for employee raises.
"My recommendation will be to dedicate 50 percent of any revenues to program restorations and 50 percent towards compensation," Lannon said. "Absent additional revenues, programs and employment will be grossly impacted."
During Tuesday's meeting, in a 4-to-1 vote, the board approved giving 377 non-unionized employees, including administrators, one-time bonuses of $742 at a cost of about $300,000.
Board vice Chairwoman Donna Mills voted against the measure and received the applause of many teachers in the audience.
"I have since changed my thinking on this," Mills said.
The capacity of the board room was closely monitored by district officials to make sure a fire hazard wasn't created. The board room holds 356 people.
Many teachers walked out of the meeting angrily after the board approved the bonus.
Lannon explained that the wanted to give the bonus to all of the district's employees at a cost of about $4 million. He said it was still possible for other employees to get the bonus before winter break if their unions asked for it.
"It is not contingent upon anything else," Lannon said.
Before the board voted on the bonuses for the 377 employees, Christine Hill, the teachers' union chief negotiator, told the board the union was willing to negotiate though she also had some criticism for them.
"Maybe the game has changed," Hill said. "Let us know what the rules are of the game we are going to be playing."

When I was 18 and had graduated high school my Mom took me to a fancy restaurant for lunch. It was the type of place where people talked in hushed voices, there wasn't a kid in sight and the waiters/waitresses wore snappy black and white tuxedo uniforms. It was a progressive restaurant at the time and had food on the menu I had never heard of. To be honest, I can't really remember much about the meal except one thing, the dessert. It was Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and it was the most heavenly thing I had ever eaten. I have made many of those pies from various recipes but haven't found one that even came close to that restaurant, until now.
In an earlier post I told you all about David Venable's Fried Chicken and how awesome it was. When QVC asked me to also make his peanut butter pie I was excited but also a little skeptical. For years I have been chasing that elusive pie and wanting to savor the taste I remember so long ago. I haven't been shy about the fact that we are QVC fans or David Venable fans. I have watched him cook on QVC and have even tried other dishes from his cookbook and honestly, it is my favorite cookbook ever. It is like going home when you eat the dishes from it.
We buy a lot of kitchen and tech gadgets from QVC. So when I saw this amazing Kitchen Aid Hand Held Mixer, I had to have it. We are a Kitchen Aid family and my Mom has one of the big mixers but I really hate using it when I am just making something simple. So the hand held version was perfect for me. I love how it has 9 speeds and attachments like the hand blender and whisk. When the matching bowls came on a few months after that, I snapped those up too. They match the mixer and make me feel like I am cooking in style, lol. I love it because I can just whip it out and mix up whatever it is I am making. Don't let it's size fool you, it is one powerful little machine. I can stiffen egg whites in about 3 minutes on number 9. If I was using the big mixer it would take me 3 minutes to set it up.
Just look how wonderful it whipped up my peanut butter filling and that is crunchy peanut butter!
This pie is creamy and very rich. It has the most amazing taste and if you love chocolate and peanut butter, this is your pie. I used premium chocolate chips from Ghirardelli and instead of a graham cracker crust I used an Oreo cookie one. One bite of this and you will want to eat the whole thing!
- 1 9 inch prepared graham cracker crust ( I used an oreo crust for extra chocolate)
- Filling
- 1 cup (6 ozs) of semisweet chips ( I used Ghirardelli and wow!)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 8oz. package of cream cheese softened ( do not use non-fat cream cheese)
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar ( also called icing sugar)
- grated or shaved semisweet chocolate ( I bakers semisweet baking chocolate)
- Unsalted peanuts, crushed.
- If you are using a graham cracker crust then preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake the crust for 7 to 8 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. If you are using the Oreo crust like I did, then skip this step.
- Combine the chocolate chips and cream in a microwave-safe bow. Microwave on high in 20 second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir thoroughly with a rubber spatula and let cool completely.
- Place the cream cheese, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. beat on medium-low speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the peanut butter mixture and mix on low until just combined. Do not over mix. Spread evenly into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. ( I let mine refrigerate for about 4)
- Beat the cream to soft peaks. Add the confesctioners' sugar and vanilla, beat until medium peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cream decoratively over the top of the pie. Garnish with grated chocolate and chopped peanuts.

Canada's First Mining Publication
ONTARIO – The Wabauskang First Nation (WFN) has served notice that it is going to court to oppose construction of the Phoenix gold mine belonging to Rubicon Minerals Corp. of Vancouver. The project is located near Red Lake.
"This has been an extremely frustrating process for our First Nation from day one," said Wabauskang Chief Leslie Cameron. "Despite our concerns that the entire process review was deeply flawed, Rubicon refused to withdraw its mine application last fall and Ontario approved it over our objections. We didn't want to go to court, so even though we don't think Ontario had the authority to approve the mine, we tried to work with the company over the last year to resolve our concerns. We've been unsuccessful, so we're forced to go to court to ensure that our interests are protected."
Relying on last year's court win by the Grassy Narrows First Nation, Wabauskang has consistently taken the position that only Canada, not Ontario, can justify an infringement of its treaty rights. Wabauskang has also repeatedly complained to both Ontario and the federal government that constitutional obligations to consult and accommodate have been wrongly delegated to mining companies.
Chief Cameron added that until Wabauskang's rights and interests are respected, Wabauskang will actively oppose all of Rubicon's activities on Treaty 3 lands.
The chief may be contacted at 807-464-0987.
Rubicon (RubiconMinerals.com), for its part, said late on Monday that it remains committed to further discussions with Wabauskang First Nation.

Seanad Éireann Debate
Acting Chairman (Mr. Dardis): As there is a vote in the other House, I propose we suspend the sitting until 6.15 p.m. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Sitting suspended at 6 p.m. and resumed at 6.15 p.m.
Acting Chairman: I welcome the Minister to the House. I understand she would like to say something before we open the debate.
[530]Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke): I always understood that one was paired if one had to be in both Houses simultaneously so I came over to the Seanad. However, when I came into the hall I was stopped and told I had to go to the Dáil for the two votes. I do not wish to show any discourtesy to this House.

Ride+Design one-day conference celebrates the relationship between bikes and design
Rapha's James Fairbank and Will Butler-Adams from Brompton are the keynote speakers
Previous News
Next News
If you're into design and at a loose end this Saturday (and near Bristol) then there's a one-day event happening at the Arnolfini centre for contemporary arts. Ride+Design is a day dedicated to celebrating the close relationship between bikes and design, and there's a great line-up of speakers confirmed.
The morning's keynote speaker is James Fairbank, head of Brand and Central Marketing at Rapha. Whatever side of the fence you fall with regards to Rapha – and we know it divides opinion – there's no argument that in terms of branding it's been one of the success stories of the last few years. James will be talking about the creative vision that has underpinned the company from its inception.
The afternoon keynote is Will Butler-Adams, managing director of Brompton. Under his leadership the iconic folder has flourished, with turnover increasing eight-fold from 2008. The Brompton bicycle is a study in both form and function, and Will is superbly placed to offer insights into its development into a household name.
As well as James and Will there's a wealth of other industry names taking part. Nick Larsen (Charge bikes), Dom Thomas (Genesis), Anna Glowinski (Ana Nichoola), Ben Spurrier (Condor), James Greig (Vulpine), Andrew Denham (The Bicycle Academy), Chris Verbick (Artcrank) and Merlin Crossingham (Aardman Animations) will all be speaking on a range of subjects centred around two themes: bike and design culture, and design for bicycles.
It promises to be a thought-provoking day. Tickets are priced at £25 for the day (£22 concessions); for more info head to www.ridedesign.org
