14 police officers, one community service officer appear in video
Officers with the Hannibal Police Department face an assortment of challenges on a daily basis. Recently, a group of HPD personnel participated in a different sort of challenge that tested their ability to "sing" and dance.
With the blessing of Hannibal Police Chief Lyndell Davis, HPD was given the chance to take the lip-sync challenge.
"It's become a nationwide craze involving law enforcement departments singing or lip-syncing, dancing, etc., to popular music," Davis said.
As word of the challenge spread so did momentum for HPD to show its talents. "For about the last two months I, along with several of my officers, have been asked when would HPD be releasing a lip-sync video," said Davis.
Initially, Davis was reluctant to allow his officers to accept the challenge.
"I had several reservations about having HPD involved," he said. "As time went on, I began to see the mostly positive reaction the public was having throughout the nation. Law enforcement had taken such a beating over the last few years by politicians and the national media that this seemed like a potential avenue for law enforcement to better humanize its image and appeal to the millennials."
Finding participants was not difficult. "Some like the attention and it was a fun project to be part of," said Davis, adding that 14 police officers and one community service officer appeared in the video.
The project revealed a surprising amount of lip-sync and dance talent. "I would say some of them came by it naturally," said Davis.
None of the officers appearing in the video were paid.
Among those noticeably missing from the video is Davis. "Because of my current position and previous positions with the department, I have been on TV and radio, and in newspaper and magazine articles off and on for years," he said. "I wanted it to be more about the officers and their service to the community, plus tie in those who have and currently still serve in the military."
Appearing in the video was HPD alum Mayor James Hark. He put on a blond wig and played the role of a bad boy speeder that officers take into custody.
Davis said Hark was more than willing to join in the fun. "He really got into the part," said Davis.
Davis had a voice in what appeared in the video.
"I gave Lt. Jennifer Grote the songs and reenactments I was comfortable with," he said. "I wanted something to tie in the numerous HPD employees are either previously served in the military or currently still do. I thought it would have an emotional impact for the public seeing the officers both in their department and military uniforms."
Grote was cited for her efforts in coordinating the production. "She got it all together for me," said Davis. "Once I authorized HPD's involvement, I asked her if she wanted to take charge of the project and she enthusiastically said yes."
Neil Sneed was praised for his video-making efforts after he donated his time. "Neil deserves all the credit," Davis said. "Neil did our HEET videos and hiring commercials in the past and always does a great job."
The video, which was shown prior to Tuesday night's Hannibal City Council meeting, can be viewed on YouTube and on HPD's Facebook page.
Public reaction has been positive.
"Immediately after the conclusion of the council meeting, I had both members of the council and public come up to me and express their appreciation of the video," Davis said.
Despite the video's popularity don't look for a sequel.
"We don't have any plans for more videos," Davis said. "We will leave that for the actors and musicians."

South Koreans are voting to elect a new leader on Tuesday, months after a corruption scandal brought down former President Park Geun-hye.
Unless there is a major upset, liberal Moon Jae-in – who calls for a moderate approach on North Korea, wants to reform powerful family-run conglomerates and boost fiscal spending to create jobs – will be elected president, Reuters reports.
The vote will end months of leadership vacuum. Park was ousted on charges of bribery and abuse of power in March to become South Korea's first democratically elected president to be forced from office.
Park is in jail, on trial. She has denied wrongdoing.
Moon, who lost to Park narrowly in the last presidential election in 2012, has criticized the two former conservative governments for failing to stop North Korea's weapons development.
He advocates a two-track policy of dialogue while maintaining pressure and sanctions to encourage change.
A Gallup Korea poll published last Wednesday showed Moon with 38 percent support in a field of 13 candidates, with centrist Ahn Cheol-soo his nearest challenger with 20 percent.
A decisive win by Moon will provide much-needed stability and is expected to improve market sentiment at a time when robust exports have supported a recovery in Asia's fourth-largest economy.
The winner is expected to be sworn in on Wednesday, after the Election Commission releases the official result.
The new leader is expected to quickly name a prime minister, who will need parliamentary approval, and main cabinet positions, including national security and finance ministers, which do not need parliamentary confirmation.
The election is being closely watched by allies and neighbors at a time of high tension over North Korea's accelerating development of weapons since it conducted its fourth nuclear test in January last year.
It conducted a fifth test in September and is believed ready for another.
US President Donald Trump has vowed to stop North Korea developing a nuclear missile that can hit the United States.
North Korea would be keen to see a Moon victory. Its official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary on Monday the time had come to put confrontation behind by ending conservative rule in the South.
"We as the same race should gather our strength to open a new era of independent reunification. To do so, the puppet conservative group's move to remain in power should be definitely crushed," it said.
The new president will also face the challenge of defusing tension with China, which is angry about South Korea's decision to deploy a US anti-missile system that China sees as a threat.
One in every four voters cast ballots in early voting last week, and officials think higher participation by younger people could drive turnout to the highest in three decades.

Back Injuries caused at work
Poor health and safety practices at Boots Alliance have left two GMB members with severe back problems.
The members have now received compensation after the GMB instructed its lawyers Thompsons Solicitors to pursue a claim for damages.
Nigel Williamson, 52, and Robert Cole, 56, both from Nottingham were employed as depot workers for Boots, which runs a chain of chemists across the UK.
They both suffered back and shoulder strain after working at the Nottingham depot with inadequate equipment and without a risk assessment for more than two years.
They were moved from their jobs as warehouse operatives to work in the Units of Dispatch department where they fixed metal cages and wooden pallets.
No lifting equipment or training
They were not given any heavy lifting equipment or training on how to do their job without causing back strain.
No risk assessment was carried out on the job until an injunction was threatened by Thompsons Solicitors.
The men felt the only way they could address the situation was by involving their union.
Robert, who has had to take time off due to back pain and received £5,000 in compensation, said: "I have a bad back, shoulder and knee problems as a result of working in poor conditions for a number of years. I had no training whatsoever.
"I was at my wit's end with them and I felt the only option I had was to pursue compensation."
Nigel, who had to take four months off work and received £3,300 in compensation added: "The work was extremely physical. I have never had back problems before but I still suffer from pain now. I found the total lack of any manual handling assistance, safe working procedures and risk assessments extremely frustrating and depressing."
Employers have a duty of care to keep employees safe
Andy Worth, Midlands and East Coast Regional Secretary of the GMB said: "Our members worked in appalling conditions for a number of years and it took the threat of an injunction for Boots to eventually undertake a risk assessment for their role. It is a sad day when you must sue for compensation in order to make a workplace safe."
Carol Wild from Thompsons Solicitors added: "Employers have a duty of care to undertake a risk assessment to ensure their employees are safe in the workplace. Where heavy objects must be moved the correct machinery must be provided to reduce the amount of manual handling and the correct training must be given.
"It is appalling that such a large employer like Boots Alliance allowed its standards to slip in this way."

Online Christian Formation Resources
Developing an Awareness of Online Christian Formation Resources
All leaders in The Episcopal Church––deacons, priests, bishops, and laity––are a part of facilitating lifelong formation and many do not readily have access to resources. Those whose ministry is specifically Christian formation often find themselves feeling isolated and without the resources they need to proficiently develop programs in their congregations for lifelong formation. Additionally, most dioceses and congregations do not have a staff person available to search the Internet for such resources. There are, however, many resources available on the Internet, but it takes a trained eye and an Episcopal ethos to sort through the already developed information that informs living out our Baptismal Covenant and the Five Marks of Mission.
Many individuals in The Episcopal Church, including members of Forma, are volunteers or part-time workers in Christian formation. This limit of time precludes from having the time to search the Internet to find resources usable in our dioceses and congregations. One must also have the capacity to filter through the immense amount of offerings to find the best and most appropriate resources for living out our Episcopal ethos. We believe that while all formation materials have value, there are some that speak more directly to the Episcopal ethos, and we believe that is an important distinction for our dioceses and congregations.
Not every congregation has someone who is a member of Forma. While Forma members are connected with one another through a listserv providing a space for questions, sharing, and connections, there are still many formation leaders who do not know of the vast amount of resources already present in the greater Episcopal community. Further, there are many in our churches that have developed their own curriculum and programs that would be beneficial to the wider Episcopal community if shared.
We affirm the Standing Commission on Lifelong Christian Formation and Education's call to Develop Awareness of Online Christian Formation Resources through a prominent tab or link on http://www.episcopalchurch.org that links to the plethora of other websites that are curated by Episcopalians from organizations, seminaries, and publishers. There is need for a central hub where a church volunteer could go to discover links to these vetted resources. Our Episcopal Church's website, being a natural "first stop" for searching, should have an easily found and accessible webpage. The resources do not need to be created––they are already available. Local dioceses are best equipped for in-person resource consulting. Our Episcopal Church website should be a resource to dioceses and congregations to find curated digital and paper resources; it can be a waste of time and talent having multiple dioceses repeat this gather/curate/organize effort. We need The Episcopal Church to offer that central location that helps Christian educators and formation leaders communicate and make those connections. It should be a simple partnership with the Office of Communications and Office of Lifelong Christian Formation and Education. We further affirm the call to widely publicize this connection as well as to encourage dioceses and congregations to create links on their own websites to these resources. We encourage those who have developed resources to share them with the wider Church.
Download and share Forma's Resolution A075 Forma Position Paper with your bishops and deputies.
A075: Develop Awareness of Online Christian Formation Resources
Resolved, the House of _____ concurring, That the Episcopal Church Center establish a prominent tab or link on the website of The Episcopal Church to give persons seeking Christian Formation resources access to websites that provide suitable Christian Formation resources, including the websites maintained by Forma, the Center for Spiritual Resources of the Diocese of Western North Carolina, Anglicans Online, and the Center for the Ministry of Teaching at Virginia Theological Seminary; and be it further
Resolved, That the Episcopal Church Center publicize to dioceses, congregations, and Christian Formation leaders the availability of these websites that provide helpful Christian Formation resources, and be it further
Resolved, That dioceses and congregations with websites consider including links to websites that provide suitable Christian Formation resources; and be it further
Resolved, That Christian Formation leaders throughout The Episcopal Church be encouraged to share with these websites suitable formation resources that they themselves have developed.
There are a number of electronic resource hubs that provide easy online access to, and a workable index of, resources for Christian Formation. This resolution urges The Episcopal Church to make the existence and content of resource hubs more widely known and available to Episcopalians at all levels. The resource hubs are especially helpful to small congregations. Some of the currently available electronic resource hubs are maintained by Forma, by the Faith Formation Learning Exchange, by the Center for Spiritual Resources of the Diocese of Western North Carolina, by Anglicans Online, and by the Center for the Ministry of Teaching at Virginia Theological Seminary.
The Episcopal Church can be a "connector" to help coordinate access to the resources that exist both inside and outside the Church today by creating a prominent tab or a link on its website (http:// http://www.episcopalchurch.org) to serve as a portal for any church or individual seeking materials to support ministry in the area of Christian Formation.
The Church Center should also make congregations and Christian Formation ministers aware of the electronic resource hubs. Most dioceses and congregations do not have a staff member to search for program ideas and resources from the greater Episcopal community in the area of Faith Formation. The internet greatly reduces that isolation, but it takes a trained eye and an Episcopal ethos to analyze the vast amount of content that is found on the web that can inform living out our Baptismal Covenant and the Five Marks of Mission.
Finally, many Christian Formation leaders in congregations have developed materials that they use and which would be helpful to others. This resolution requests that these Christian Formation leaders submit these materials to the electronic resource hubs so they can be used by others.

In honor of the upcoming Mother's Day and my mom's birthday (which is tomorrow!) I want to dedicate this drawing to all mothers out there, especially my own. Our mothers are INCREDIBLE. Really. They have the closest thing to Godlike love for their children, and I know they sacrifice so much for our sakes.
I know that the love of his mother helped Jesus Christ prepare to take upon him the pains of the world as well. We do not worship Mary because she was still just a woman, but we do reverence her and honor her as "the most beautiful and fair above all virgins" (1 Nephi 11:15) and truly a choice woman. With the help of our mothers who teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to their children, our homes can become a sacred place and a refuge from the winds of the world (see Helaman 5:12). Mothers – please know that your work is of the most sacred duties given to mankind and that you are making a huge difference on the future! We love you and thank you for everything!
To read more about the sacred duties of parenthood please read The Family: a Proclamation to the World.

In Sicily a salt deposit of 5 million years ago by deposition of salt when seawater evaporated away leaving large quantities of dissolved salt as precipitate.
During this period the Mediterranean Sea was undergoing a cycle of partly or nearly complete desiccation, which geologists call the Messinian Salinity Crisis.
In Porto Empedocle, the port of Agrigento, from the pier realized with the stones of the valley of the temples, large cargo ships, loaded with road salt for de-icing, leave for US, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Croatia and Northern Italy too.
In 2016 546,630 tons of road salt for de-icing shipped in total, 132,000 tons in the US.
The ships charge up to 20,000 tons of salt.
A visual underground journey in Petralia, Racalmuto and Realmonte, the only salt mines of Sicily.
In Petralia the salt extracted it's just for food, thanks to its incredible purity and the salt extracted in Petralia is packaged directly on site and sees the light, for the first time after millions of years, only once the boxes have reached the house of the consumers.

"Twin Paradox"
Ardeshir Mehta, N.D.
June 2001
Normally the "Twin Paradox" is discussed in terms of acceleration: one of the twins has to turn around, and therefore be accelerated -- either positively and/or negatively -- in order to return to the other twin, so that the ages of the two can be compared in the same reference frame.
But this is not really necessary. If we use stop watches, we can compare a delimited period in the life of each twin.
Indeed we need not have twins at all: all we need is two identical stop watches. So let's discuss a non-accelerated "Twin Paradox" using stop watches, as follows:
Let two identical and very large spaceships, A and B, pass by one another at high speed in a straight line. Let each spaceship carry an identically-constructed stop watch. Let the readings of the stop watches initially be 0.00, and let the stop watches not yet be ticking.
As the two spaceships pass one another, let a fine antenna on one spaceship briefly touch another fine antenna on the other, and let the contact between the two antennae cause a switch to be thrown in each spaceship, setting the stop watches on board the spaceships ticking simultaneously. Since the spaceships are very large and heavy, the momentary and light contact between the antennae causes only a negligible, and perhaps even non-measurable, slowing down of the spaceships.
Let there be a very long and light string floating around in space just at the location where the spaceships are expected to pass by each other. Let the speed of the string relative to each spaceship be exactly half the relative speed between the spaceships themselves, so that each spaceship is moving relative to the string at an equal speed but in opposite directions. (The string's location and relative speed can of course easily be calculated and adjusted in advance, since the spaceships, being large, can be observed from a great distance.) Let there be a ring tied to each end of the string. Let the rings be positioned so that they are close together but not overlapping. Let there be a hook on each of the spaceships, and let each hook engage one of the rings as the spaceships pass by one another. In this manner, as the spaceships move apart, the loose string is drawn tight due to the movement of the spaceships away from one another.
At the exact mid-point of the string, let the string be weakened, so that when the spaceships draw the string tight, the string eventually snaps just at the weakened point in the very middle of the string.
Let the hooks on each spaceship be connected to triggers on the spaceships, so that when the string snaps, the resulting jerk sends a signal to the stop watch carried aboard each of the spaceships, causing the stop watches to stop ticking.
Of course there may well be a perceptible and measurable time difference between the moment the string snaps, on the one hand, and on the other, the moment the hook on each spaceship triggers the stop watch carried on board to stop: because the tension of the string must take a finite amount of time to travel the distance along the string to the snapping point from the ring (and the hook) at the end of the string. But since the snapping point is smack bang dead-centre on the string, this time difference, if there is any, must be exactly the same for each of the spaceships.
So what we have is two stop watches, each of which measures the same amount of time, regardless of reference frame: viz., the time between (a) the moment the antennae of the spaceships touch each other, causing the stop watches to start ticking, and (b) the moment the snapping of the string jerks the hook on each of the spaceships, causing the stop watches to stop ticking.
Note that the touching of the antennae, being just one single event taking place very close to the spaceships, has to be simultaneous for each of the spaceships. The snapping of the string is also, of course, just one event, and although this event takes place at a considerable distance from the spaceships, the signal conveying the tension of the string from the hook to the snap must take the same amount of time for each spaceship, because the snap takes place right at the mid-point of the string, and because the mid-point of the string is moving at exactly the same speed relative to each space-ship.
Now bring the spaceships home and compare the readings of the stop watches, which will now no longer be ticking. What should the readings be?
Note that according to the Principle of Relativity, there is no way whatsoever to tell which of the spaceships was moving and which was stationary, or even which of them was moving slower and which faster. All we can possibly know is the relative speed between the two spaceships.
If we take it that it was spaceship A that was moving and spaceship B that was stationary, then if we use the Lorentz transformation formulae to calculate the times registered by the clock, the time tA registered by the stop watch aboard spaceship A will be shorter than the time tB registered by the stop watch aboard spaceship B.
But if we assume that it was spaceship B that was moving and spaceship A that was stationary, then the reverse will be the case!
In other words, the readings of the stop watches should show each less than the other ... for the same amount of time!
Yeah, right.

As soon as he got home, Rodolphe sat down hurriedly at his desk which stood beneath a shooting trophy in the form of a stag's head which was fastened to the wall. But with the pen already between his fingers, he could find nothing to say, and sat there, leaning on his elbows, thinking. Emma seemed to have vanished into the distant past. It was as though the resolution he had taken had suddenly opened a vast gulf between them.
To bring the thought of her more vividly before him, he started to rummage in the cupboard which stood at the head of his bed. He was looking for an old Rheims biscuit-tin in which he was in the habit of keeping the letters he had received from his many women. A smell of damp dust and withered rose-leaves came from it. The first thing he found was a pocket-handkerchief speckled with small pale stains. It was hers. She had used it on one of their walks when her nose had bled. He could remember nothing else about it. Beside it, its corners all dinted and battered, was the miniature she had given him. He thought the dress she was wearing pretentious, and the sidelong glance of her eyes rather common. But by dint of gazing on the picture and evoking the memory of its living model, he found that Emma's features were gradually losing their distinctness. It was as though the living face and its painted replica had so rubbed against one another that each had lost the clear edges of its definition. Finally, he set himself to read some of her letters. They were full of details about their journey: short, practical and urgent, like business memoranda. He was seized by a desire to read the longer ones which she had written at an earlier period. To find them at the bottom of the tin, he had to disturb the rest of its contents. Mechanically he started to turn up a mass of papers and small objects, coming at random on bouquets, a garter, a black domino, pins and locks of hair--dark hair, fair hair. Some of it, tangled in the fastenings of the box, had broken when he opened it.
Thus aimlessly wandering among the memories of his past, he began to examine the writing and the style of many different letters, letters as various in their contents as in their spelling. Here they all were, tender or jocose, facetious or melancholy. Some of the writers demanded love, some money. At times he would come on a word

Move over Jamba Juice, Starbucks and McDonalds are about to throw their hat in the smoothie ring. How is Jamba Juice fighting back? They have teamed up with Dole for a cross-marketing promotion, fusing their two brands together. Both brands have similar attributes - nutrition and health. They make the perfect marketing pear - I mean pair (sorry for the fruit joke).
Millions of Dole bananas are now in western US supermarkets with a sticker reading: "I want to Jamba". The sticker directs people to co-branded web site, where Jamba and Dole offer smoothie recipes and encourage visitors to post their own. Dole will focus on pushing bananas, strawberries and pineapple products via recipe cards in stores throughout Jamba's network. The alliance gives Jamba exposure in supermarkets and Dole presence in the restaurant channel. By fusing their brands together they are exposed to customers they were never able to reach before, a win-win for both brands.
Smart move Jamba. Looks like you easily beat McDonalds and Starbucks in Round 1.

He was always football's biggest hardnut, but not even age has managed to calm Roy Keane... and that includes simple things like walking out of buildings.
The former Manchester United captain, who earlier quit ITV's World Cup punditry team (doesn't it start NEXT WEEK?!) to focus on football coaching, was walking out of some fancy hotel in London when the Sky Sports News cameras just couldn't keep their eyes off him.
Many a footballer from Patrick Vieira to Alf-Inge HÃ¥land will tell you that keeping tabs on Keano doesn't always end well. And our deepest sympathies go out to the cameraman who was fiercely told to go elsewhere and is now scarred for life as a result...
Meanwhile, Keane has been linked with an assistant role at Aston Villa under Paul Lambert.

A rant, but also some good advice for starting a garden… DO NOT USE WEED CLOTH!
Learn from my mistakes; below you'll find out why weed cloth is such a mistake, but you can also stop reading and just trust me that mulch makes a better weed barrier than any weed cloth you will find in a garden center. If you really need to block out some weeds, use newspaper. It is biodegradable and works better than store-bought weed barriers, especially when used in conjunction with mulch.
The Con(s) of Weed Cloth
I have found that weed cloth is at best a hassle, and at worst, it inhibits growth of my perennials, while providing a substrate for weeds to root to.
When I first started my garden, a lot of stubborn weeds and invasive species had had time to become well-rooted. After pulling everything up, turning it over, and renting a tiller, I thought I should find something to prevent the weeds from coming back. I went to a garden store and found the weed cloth and thought, Ho! What Miracle Is This! As always, if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
I spent a whole day laying it out and staking it down. Over the next few weeks, as I was mulching and planting, I kept catching the stakes/staples with my shovel, or having to move them to make way for whatever I was planting. They became such an annoyance that I started to take them out and throw them away whenever I found them.
Then, the cloth itself turned out to be difficult to cut into. When you plant something that has been growing in a pot (like most plants you get from a garden center or nursery), you need to dig a hole for it that is twice the size as the pot it has been growing in. This gives you room to mix the potting soil with the earth of your garden, and allows the plant to gradually become accustomed to its new environment. To do this with weed cloth, you must first cut out enough cloth to allow you to dig and mix and plant. I have found it nearly impossible to cut a circle out of weed cloth, plus when I started to dig, I usually ended up with gaps or piles under the cloth, which were difficult to get to lie flat.
On top of the difficulty of opening the weed cloth to plant something, for perennials, it causes a secondary problem as they expand. So many of my lilies and daffodils and crocuses have gotten crushed as they tried to burst forth from the soil, only to find themselves trapped under the black cloth.
Ironically, many weeds seem to have no trouble cutting through it as they grow
…or find the cloth to be a better substrate than the soil itself. This, along with how unsightly the cloth is, and all the other trouble it's caused me, made me decide to pull it up as much as possible this year.
Moral of the story: DO NOT USE WEED CLOTH!

Broccoli Ham and Cheese Casserole is comfort food in a cheesy smothered casserole, baked with pasta, and covered in crispy baked bread crumb goodness!
We are in that last full week of August, and Kelsie is begging me to pull out the fall decorations, and I'm all over here like it's 100 degrees outside, and raining everyday – I do not feel fallish this year. It's actually the first year where I'm not breaking down the door to the hall closet, trying to hang up the wreath on the front door, and wishing time by faster towards Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I'm just not feeling it yet this year.
Perhaps it's because we have decided that our first day of homeschooling won't be until September 6th. Years past I've always declared the first day of school to be fall, even though it's not on the calendar. I don't know, perhaps I'll feel it come September! I do believe that this coming weekend I will pull all out the stuff so that Kelsie can help me decorate, but in the mean time, I'll just make recipes that remind us of fall.
Fall to me means cooler weather, comforting foods, blankets, and warm drinks. This Broccoli Ham and Cheese Casserole is definitely comfort food! It's warm, cheesy, creamy, and perfect for those cool afternoons when you want something to warm you from the inside out. We love to cook with ham, because it's not really something we buy until around Christmas time. You know, the Christmas ham?! Anyway. I've been stepping out and buying ham more lately, and making yummy comforting dishes like this one. This dish is more like a creamy macaroni and cheese dish with ham and broccoli on the side. The cheese is definitely the star here!
Broccoli Ham and Cheese Casserole
- 12 oz macaroni noodles
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked ham cubed
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook macaroni according to package directions.
Add broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cook time.
Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Whisk in flour until incorporated.
Slowly whisk in the cream, milk, and seasonings.
Cook over medium heat while stirring until slightly thickened. (when it coats the back of a spoon) Remove from heat and stir in the cheeses until melted.
Mix together the cheese sauce, pasta, broccoli and ham.
Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
Stir together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top.
Bake 18 to 20 minutes or just until hot. Do not over cook or your pasta will be mushy.

It's been about 23 years when the first episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S aired on TV and there came a revolution at the way we look at TV series. This one TV series comes as a tribute to friends in our lives and the little joys that we experience with our friends. 10 mind-blowing seasons with less than thirty episodes making it the perfect choice for binge watch sessions at home or with friends – Giving you a different level of bliss!
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. has been one of the longest running TV series on American Television and even longer for all the fans who repeatedly resort to binge watch it. Recommending F.R.I.E.N.D.S. to friends comes invariably be it repeating, watching first time or may be again. Here are the reasons why F.R.I.E.N.D.S. makes for a MUST WATCH!
1. The perfect laughter therapy!
So, you thought you could not laugh at your pathetic situations or after a breakup? F.R.I.E.N.D.S. gives you more reasons than one to enjoy your time with a bunch of six buddies who take you through their life journey revolving around the coffee shop and lives they lead. A funny mix of emotions, weird habits and getting back on friends makes this a perfect laughter therapy when we aren't ready to even smile!
2. Phoebe Buffay
A group of friends is always incomplete without a simple-hearted idiot in it – well that is Phoebe Buffay for you! From penning and singing 'Smelly Cat…' to striking it right with the men, this woman wins heart while making us laugh out hard! She promises that she would make your belly hurt hard after each episode.
3. The Bing-Tribbiani duo!
Bro-mance existed even before you or I learnt the meaning of it, and this duo makes us realize it. Chandler Bing played by Matthew Perry is the one who is always perceived as gay because of his sarcasm-laughter as self-defense and Joey Tribbiani played by Matt LeBlanc is the actor (at least he made it!) and a huge heartthrob amongst women. Their bro-mance and even the solo roles are bang on along with some pickup lines you might pen down for use. 'Hey! How are you doing?'
4. The flat where every mess happens
Have you ever imagined how it would feel to have six friends in a flat while they eat, fight, return from work and have major life decisions all at the same place? F.R.I.E.N.D.S. brought the idea of how blissful and completely obnoxious it could get when six friends stay together. Trust me it's worth watching!
5. Ross and Rachel
From childhood players to modern day romance, this geek-designer couple is the funniest yet the sweetest romance you would have ever seen. How a geek paleontologist and a rich girl went to live life by her own terms come together in a relationship only to murmur the worst conversation as their breakup story – you don't want to miss it!
6. Monica cleanliness Gell-er!
Surely the show sounds like a mixed bag of characters with a flat which may not ever get cleaned – Thank God for Monica! The sister of Ross, a chef, and a major cleanliness-dominant-orderliness freak that she is teaches us how each one of us is slightly obsessed with our own things. From being a great advisor to going wrong at major life decisions – Courtney Cox as Monica Geller is a delight to watch!
7. Get insights of your life!
If you thought that it's only your dating scenes that have gone wrong or you are the only one obsessed with cleaning or even misunderstood by almost everyone you meet – Switch to FRIENDS for a revelation of a lifetime. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. definitely lets you know that there are a lot of things people go through and yet make it through life. So be it the senseless conversations, laughing at our own deeds or little quarrels – it all sounds like your very own.
8. Doesn't feel lonely anymore!
This one comes as a serious advice! If you have been feeling lonely for long or haven't been around your best buddies since a long time now, then the right way to spend hours with the best of friends is to tune into this TV series as this show definitely bets to be friends with you. With all the Drama, rush, emotions, laughter and weird talks – it almost feels like your bunch of idiots is right there next to you!
9. Simple and to-the-heart!
The characters of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. are simple and lovely! The sarcastic Chandler, the Foodie Joey, intellectual Ross, neat freak Monica, independent Rachel and the goofy Phoebe – simple people, simple situations and comedy in the simplest of ways! They win your heart with each conversation, expression, and style!
10. Timeless comedy!
It may occur that the jokes have made their way out in the public and won't feel as laughable as they should – but they still feel like fresh from the oven and hit hard in the belly! If you laugh at them once, you will laugh at them 20 times over again – year after year!
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is a beautiful account of the friendship of 20-something people in a big city which went iconic by every means!

Fitflop sandals are just brilliant for me. I wear them all year round inside & out !! When i developed early signs of what my Doctor referred to as wear n tear in both knees plus a bunion aged 56 i started wearing FITFLOP SANDALS constantly from Spring to late Autumn. also wear them in the house instead of slippers or suchlike. in winter i wear REIKER boots & any low but not flat boots that are comfy but elegant. Ive recently ordered a pair of black Fitflop boots from SHOETIQUE. I like them but dissapointed that the design makes ones foot look vastly wide.i havnt worn them yet as concerned they make my feet look double the width. Apart from that i love Fitflops but not with a heel strap!! Id be so pleased if they designed a slimmer looking short boot. they neednt look so wide. ONWARDS & UPWARDS

Netscreen Attack Detection and Defense Overview
Below outlines Netcreens Attack Detection and Defense. This is by no means a full guide by acts as a general summary to the various terms and technologies.
Features legacy security protection, such as SYN, UDP and ICMP floods, Port scans and certain OS-specific DoS attacks.
Deep Inspection
Allows for inspection at the application layer for select protocols using stateful contexts. ScreenOS breaks down the protocol stream into inspectable fields. ScreenOS then uses DFA (Deterministic Finite Automation) to inspect these fields.
Deep Inspection allows for you to configure your Netscreen to automatically update your Deep Inspection signature set, along with write your own using FDA Regex.
A license is required to activate Deep Inspection and to add Deep Inspection to a policy just click the Deep Inspection icon within the policy to set the required settings. To create you own signiture go to "Objects | Attack | Custom".
URL Filtering
This allows for the use of 3rd Parties URL filtering options such as either SurfControl or Websense. Surf control includes an option called integrated mode which allows you to store filtering profiles upon the firewall itself.
This allows for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocols to be inspected for viruses with the activation of a license. To enable and configure AV go to "Screening | Antivirus | Global".
Protocols such as FTP, H.323 and other dynamic channel protocols can cause problems when creating the necessary firewall policies, due to the way thy dynamically choose/assign ports. To overcome this a subset of ALG`s were created for these protocols, which allow them to inspect the traffic/packets at the application layer and in turn allows the traffic through based on how the protocols function.

I made kimchi last month and it was gooooood!
I found the recipe here. It is very easy to make and there are pictures to guide you.
I made kimchi last month and it was gooooood!
I found the recipe here. It is very easy to make and there are pictures to guide you.
A dear friend recently gave me a pack of assorted chocolates from Korea from her her husband's pasalubong after a brief business-visit there. It was an assortment of weird but surprisingly wonderful sweets from the kimchi country. Flavours included were sesame, seaweed, rice wine, and this, my husband's favourite and mine, the red pepper chocolate:
I know you are also wondering why and how a lowly sili (red chilli pepper) can be added to chocolates?
The result? Two layers of chocolate gooey stuff – outside is a regular milk chocolate, inside is creamy nougat-ish flavour. Yum. The red pepper heat kicks in moments later. Not that hot, just mild enough, and you know what, weird it may sound but it is actually chocolate-y delicious! I am amazed at how an unlikely ingredient (red pepper) can enhance the chocolate flavour.
Yeah I had it again… but I really love it. There are so many to choose from – the selection of exciting dishes at NagaWorld Hotel's Korean Grill Restaurant is long but, you know, being an Asian and all somewhere in my DNA lies my affinity for rice. I just had to have rice, no matter what and where we are!
And a bowl of dolsot bibimbap never fails to make me happy. Of course, what's a Korean dish without the host of side dishes Korean cuisine is so known for? You start with the tasty seaweed soup. And you do what you fancy with the other side dishes – you either mix them with the rice or just have them separately. The kimchi is just perfect. And mind you, I had to ask for refills many times because I think the serving is too little for my liking 😀
Dolsot bibimbap is one of the lunch promo sets offered at the Korean Grill Restaurant. The whole set costs $10, good for one person only, drinks not included. It's a bit pricey, but hey, we are also paying for the hotel ambiance and all (I wondered who ordered ambiance, for sure, it wasn't me. Just kidding but I can't help LOL at this joke.)
This lunch was made possible through the invitation of my sweet friend Mel who works at the NagaWorld Hotel. She introduced us to Koreak Grill Restaurant two years ago and from then on, it has become the Peluka Sisters' choice to go to whenever we feel like stuffing ourselves with Korean food in a nice, stylish place (but we also have a favourite Korean resto, a cheaper one, when we don't have enough moolah, lol!) She is leaving Phnom Penh next week for a more exciting job offer in Fiji. Thanks for the lunch, Mel. And very best of luck to you in Fiji!

You can make extra income with your website through web marketing programs. You need to have a good base of knowledge in order to be successful at internet marketing. The following tips have been used by many experienced affiliate companies to make their programs more successful.
Do not ever get involved in this process and do not affiliate with people who are. At best, it is unethical and bothersome to your visitor. Not only will cookie stuffing alienate your readers, but it could also give them a virus.
When you first start your online marketing business, check out many different affiliate vendors and find products that you want to promote. It might be best to use many affiliate networks to market your products, and provide many different avenues of income. Thoroughly investigate the reputation and past performance of any affiliate before signing on the dotted line.
Eventually people will inevitably unsubscribe to you and you'll need to find new subscribers. When sending out a new mailing, only send the emails that have already proven to be most effective at getting an immediate response.
Text services are one option affiliates may consider when trying to earn commissions. This is still a relatively new service, but already there are thousands of affiliates using this text service to keep their customers informed and to promote new products and affiliate offers.
Only do business with generous and fair affiliate companies. Any affiliate company that gives less than a 20% commission isn't worth your time. The best companies offer their affiliates good percentages of sales.
If someone is visiting your site for sports information, that's what they're interested in finding. Placing a link for an affiliate website won't give you any benefit unless it is related to sports. The types of business you affiliate with needs to be somehow associated with the content on your site or very few people will click on your links.
Carefully decide what content your site links to before adding it. It may take you a while to learn the best way to arrange your site's affiliate links, but once you've struck upon a successful formula, your profits will rise accordingly.
You can generate more business for your online company by joining affiliate promotion programs. In most cases, you'll get a bigger traffic boost from an affiliate program than you will from banner ads or contextual networks. Three factors to consider when determining which internet marketing company to choose are the referral payments that you will receive, how popular the directory is and how easy it is to navigate.
It's imperative to have access to real time statistics. Because they allow you to see how many visitors have come through the site, and how many people have made purchases.
Create a hard deadline for your customers to buy your affiliate product. A deadline puts a little pressure on would-be customers, giving some of them the gentle prod they need to make a decision and buy. This is a time-tested way to boost sales.
Show your readers that you are not hiding who you have affiliations with. Many people will appreciate your honesty, and may use your affiliate ads more to help you out.
You should aim to create a handwritten advertisement, and then scan and post this ad on your site. The reason for doing this is because sales can skyrocket by adding a more personal feel to your site. Customers can actually see for themselves that there is an actual human being involved in the process. Hire a freelancer to compose the advertisement if your longhand is illegible.
Including things such as videos and screenshots in your review makes the product more appealing and makes you more money. This entices more people to buy what you are selling. In addition, create a specific and concise review so consumers can learn what they need to about the product before deciding to make a purchase.
Hopefully, these pieces of advice in the above article have given you some excellent tips to increase your chance of success at web marketing. Keep staying current with marketing trends to achieve the best results. Internet marketing can help you earn extra money to add to the income that you are already generating from your current product or service offerings. "Kill two birds with one stone!" "

My wife and I have three kids between the ages of five and eight, which means life is never dull around our house. With kids you get questions. Lots and lots of questions. Some of the questions we get a lot lately start with the words "What if?" As in "What if turtles COULD eat people?" Or "What if our yard WAS big enough for a pony?" Most of the "what if?" questions thrown around at our house deal in fanciful hypotheticals and impossibilities. But I've got a "what if?" myself that sincerely frightens me.
In each of the canonical gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) a great climax of sorts builds as Jesus and his followers make one final trip to Jerusalem for one final Passover. We often call this event the Triumphal Entry. If you've read the gospel accounts, you'll remember that Jesus rode into Jerusalem with people shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!" It feels like the Son of God is about to become King of the world. The adoring crowd seems to expect something magnificent and climactic to happen as this rabbi, this prophet, this messiah rides in to the city of the king.
But Jesus didn't call together an army or set up court or any other thing that the people expected. Instead, Mark 11:11 says, "And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve."
That seems so strange. He's made this climactic entry into the city and gone to the temple–the most sacred place for his fellow Jews– but he's seen what's going on in the temple, and he's not happy. Imagine what all the people think–the people who threw their cloaks onto the ground for him and hailed him as the long-awaited messiah. If they were expecting a speech or a sign, they didn't get it, at least not until the next morning.
Mark 11:12-20
12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
It seems like we have two different and somewhat unrelated events being recorded here by Mark. The first is this odd recounting of Jesus cursing–and killing–a fig tree. The second is what we often call Jesus' cleansing the temple. We'll start with the temple incident, but we'll come back to the fig tree–Mark does–because they aren't unrelated at all.
The temple was supposed to be the holiest of all places in the lives of the Jews. But Jesus arrives and doesn't like what he finds. It looks good on the outside and has the appearance of health and vitality, but it's dead on the inside. We know this is the case because of what Jesus does and says.
Now, commentators of all sorts draw all kinds of different lessons from Jesus' actions here. Some say he is throwing out the money changers who are taking advantage of the poor. But notice that he also throws out those who are doing the buying! Others say he is running off peddlers who are occupying the only space in the temple courts where the Gentiles were allowed to come and pray, but that's unlikely. This was the second version of the Temple. The temple Solomon built was destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonian army. Herod the Great had enlarged and expanded the temple complex which now covered the same space as about 27 football fields [35 acres]. There was plenty of room to pray. Jesus isn't as concerned about what is going on there as he is about who is going and coming there. Notice how Jesus interprets his own actions according to Mark 11:17.
17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."
These people who wear the right clothes and say the right prayers and come to the right festivals are nothing but a bunch of crooks! They aren't living their lives for God; they just come to the temple courts and act like it. He calls all these people a bunch of crooks who have defiled and profaned God's house, and that's why he disrupts what they're doing. Notice that he doesn't strike them down. He, instead, is doing everything he can to get their attention. They're walking around going about their normal business as if everything is okay. This is the temple, after all. They act as if everything is fine. Everything's good. "Peace, peace," they would say. Which was "shalom, shalom," which meant all is right, all is good, everything is in harmony with God's will. But Jesus says, "Wake up!" You aren't living for God. You're living for yourselves! You've made this place a den of robbers.
He, of course, was quoting from Jeremiah 7. Listen to the text starting in verse 1…
7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 "Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. 3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.'
5 "For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, 7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
8 "Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.
12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen and when I called you, you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight….
It all looked good and healthy, but it was nothing but leaves. Just like the fig tree. The temple complex and it's people had the appearance of health, but it wasn't godly, because godliness always bears good fruit.
That's why Jesus was so upset with the state of the temple, and that's why he cursed the fig tree on the way to town that day. He did it loudly enough for his disciples to hear him, because he was making a point that what God could do to this fig tree he could do to a profaned temple and a profaning people.
You may know that earlier in his ministry, Jesus told a parable about an unfruitful fig tree. It's in Luke 13:6-9, and it says, "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, 'Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?' 8 And he answered him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
See, the people were God's fig tree, and he had given them year after year after year to produce good fruit. What do you think it meant when, on the day after Jesus cursed the fig tree the disciples find it withered to the root? It meant next year had come.
We can be pretty confident that this is the lesson Jesus wanted us all to learn from these events, in part, because he used Jeremiah 7 to chastise the religious leaders and borrowed an image from Jeremiah 8 in cursing the fig tree. Remember that Jeremiah was speaking to a people who thought they had it all together and thought they were blessed and safe and comfortable in their temple, and God told them to get their lives right or the destruction that had happened to the Northern Kingdom would happen to them, too. Jesus is doing the same thing for the Jews of his day.
Hear how Jeremiah describes it in Jeremiah 8 starting in verse 5.
5 Why then has this people turned away
in perpetual backsliding?
They hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.
6 I have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, 'What have I done?'
Everyone turns to his own course,
like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane
keep the time of their coming,
but my people know not
the rules of the Lord. [How well does this describe the way people have received Jesus?]
8 "How can you say, 'We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us'?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
9 The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them? [Didn't Jesus find the same problems with the religious leaders of his day?]
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely. [It's a den of robbers.]
11 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, 'Peace, peace,'
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord,
there are no grapes on the vine,
nor figs on the fig tree;
even the leaves are withered…."
This is scary stuff, which brings me back to my earlier question. What if Jesus looked at us and our churches and found nothing but leaves?
God is deadly serious about having people who bear good fruit. If we don't know how to apply this lesson, then we can start by asking if we're living up to the expectations of these texts. Are we fruitful, or are we just a bunch of crooks playing church? Look at what God said through Jeremiah! How do we treat people when we have the power to abuse or ignore them? To apply Jeremiah 7, what are we doing for the widows, orphans, and strangers? Could we do more? Are we bearing God's fruit? This doesn't just mean, are we baptizing people. This means, are our natures aligned with God's? God is not a withered branch. If we live by his Spirit, then our lives will bear his fruit, and the fruit he bears is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
If we don't bear these things, then we are not of the Spirit. Having been baptized does not guarantee that we are God's people any more than being born a Jew in Jeremiah's or Jesus's day meant that their lives were aligned with God's covenant expectations. Thankfully, God is patient. God wants to bless us and gather us to himself, but he will not have unfruitful people, because godliness always bears good fruit.

recalling the "virtues" of my life
(why am I keeping score?)
letting the foibles haunt me
Who am I trying to please?
What am I measuring up to?
Good questions, Michael. Sounds like you're dealing with a lot right now. Is it your mother who is in the hospital? This is hard.
Michael, I don't believe anyone who visits this space could leave without reflecting, as you do, on the things that matter in a life. Thank you for sharing these wise words and powerful images.
You have always been a blessing in my life and always will be.
Thanks, FA. Yes, questions of a lifetime. My mom isn't in the hospital. The woman featured in my previous post was a stranger.
Thanks, Doug. You're a good man and a good friend and a good colleague. I know I often appear distant and detached, but that's just me giving my own silly fears and suspicions more power to prevent me from pulling my head out of my ass. "Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it."
Thank you, Lisa. It's comforting to know you're there.

1, the main types of home improvement flooring: hardwood flooring, laminate flooring, engineered wood flooring, Bamboo flooring, more than 10 species. Depending on which kind of flooring, then targeted to the selection decision.
2, currently on the market floor manufacturers and brands more dazzling, dizzying, three products can be found everywhere. So when you purchase it is important to know the brand and reputation of the floor, try to buy well-known brands of flooring.
3, species identified, if I had to choose real wood flooring, must further ascertain the floor species, variety, quality, price, specification, and so on.
4, color: light color and a dark color matching, if your wall paint color is a light color, the floor will choose a deep color of the floor. To cite an example: pasta with white walls dark brown floors, blue walls with light wooden flooring.

by Ranger Barry Breckling
Anyone who met Sada Coe quickly learned that she was a special person--quiet, yet with wisdom from years filled with good times and sad times, happy times and hard times. She was born in San Jose in December of 1910 and was brought to her father's Pine Ridge Ranch at an early age. She spent many of her younger years away from the ranch, getting a "proper" education and instruction in the "finer" ways of life, but her choice was always to put on levis and a cowboy hat, jump onto the back of a horse, and ride into the hills. So, whenever possible, as a young girl Sada spent her time riding the hills of the Pine Ridge Ranch, and it became a place she deeply loved.
Most of the old cowboys said she could ride a horse almost as well as the men. A few, probably the more honest ones, admitted that she could outdo most of the men. One old-timer told me he could still see her in his mind's eye, galloping full out down a ridge, moving so fast the brim of her hat was flattened against her head by the wind.
Shortly before I started working at Coe Park in 1977, my predecessor, Ranger Joe White, gave me a great introduction to the park. He left me tapes and marked-up maps, showed me around the park, and took me to meet Sada Coe. Next to introducing me to Sada, the best thing Joe did to prepare me for the job was to loan me all the books Sada had written. Her stories and poems gave me a unique insight into the park, and in no time at all I found I had fallen in love with this wonderful place. It quickly became obvious that Sada loved this remote part of the Diablo Range, and loved it so much that she eventually gave her land to be a park. She reveals her deep personal conviction about protecting wilderness lands for future generations in her story "A Park to the People."

The British Standard Code of Practice, and other authoritative guides, recommend minimum rates of ventilation related to the size and use of rooms, and structural means for providing them. But the difficulty of measuring actual ventilation rates suggests that it is seldom done.
Ventilative cooling through window airing presents a promising potential for low energy houses in order to avoid overheating risks and to reduce energy consumption of air conditioners. This case study aims at describing how ventilative cooling has been taken into account as from the design stage of a low-energy single-family active house located near Paris. Its performance on thermal comfort and air renewal, monitored from both sociological (feedback from a family) and scientific approach, is described and compares these two qualitative and quantitative approaches.
Overheating is an unwanted consequence of modern building designs and internal gains that will be aggravated by the effects of climate change on local climates within urban and suburban areas. To minimise the energy cost of limiting overheating several different approaches exist for passive cooling dissipation techniques. Free cooling by ventilation, or Ventilative Cooling, (VC), is a generally accepted effective, energy efficient, mitigation strategy to building overheating. There are many factors that influence the design and selection of suitable VC strategies.
Most natural ventilation (NV) systems used in non-residential buildings are single sided (SS). These systems are easy to integrate in the building layout, since, unlike in cross-ventilation (CV), these systems do not require access to two facades or a central stack. Current knowledge about SS NV flow penetration away from the façade can be found in building regulations and design rules of thumb.
Natural ventilation has the potential to provide cooling and fresh air and cut 40% of the total energy consumption of European office buildings. While in the milder seasons natural ventilation is an obvious low-energy choice, if poorly designed it can cause overheating in summer and poor air quality in winter. In order to promote the use and design of naturally ventilated (NV) buildings, it is therefore important to understand how current NV buildings perform in terms of thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
The Royal Wanganui Opera House (RWOH), in Whanganui, New Zealand, was constructed in 1899, and now seats 830 people. This building was designed with a natural ventilation system; however, this system is no longer in operation and the RWOH has received regular complaints from patrons regarding indoor thermal comfort. Various options for mechanical systems to improve indoor comfort during summer performances have been considered, but have been deemed too costly. The RWOH is listed with Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 heritage building.
Combining heat recovery with natural ventilation is a relatively new topic of significant academic and commercial interest. The present study shows the performance of a recently developed Passive Ventilation system with Heat Recovery (PVHR) installed in a primary school building.
In the present paper the impact of natural cross-ventilation on thermal comfort levels in sustainable residential buildings is evaluated. A sustainable dwelling is designed in Crete and various scenarios of different combinations of open windows and doors in the ground floor, the first floor and between the floors are tested to determine the final scenarios with the best possible airflow movement.
This study presents a comparison of three ventilation systems; automated Natural Ventilation (NV), balanced Mechanical Ventilation (MV) with heat recovery and Hybrid Ventilation (HV) with heat recovery for a new build office building.
The energy demand for heating and electricity as well as the indoor climate of the building were simulated using IESVE. Three key European cities were selected (Copenhagen, Munich and London) in order to investigate the applicability of the principles to different climatic conditions in Europe.
More than 64 million pupils spend more time in school than in any other place except home in Europe (European Commission, 2014). The indoor air quality is often a challenge in existing school buildings and the lack of proper ventilation often leads to negative effects like increased absenteeism and sick building syndrome symptoms as well as lowered performance amongst students compared to new buildings.

Tonight concert features Coal County Express. After years of playing on Pat and Rosemary's porch, at festival jams, and the occasional gig, Jillian tried to convince Pat to cave in and put a band together. That didn't work until Dave came along and twisted his arm (it's healed up now, and seems to have improved his banjo playing!). CCE spends their band time together picking at Pat's house, mostly because his wife Rosemary is an awesome hostess and pretty much a goddess in the kitchen.
Over the last few years, CCE has performed a steady number of festivals, concerts, private events, and fund raisers. Some recent engagements include opening for Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Claire Lynch. Some festivals played by the band include Musikfest, Hickory Fest, Out Among The Stars Bluegrass Festival, AFBA Bluegrass Festival, NEPA Bluegrass Festival, Pocono Mountain Bluegrass Festival, Lehigh Valley Bluegrass Festival, Carbon County Bluegrass & Anthracite Heritage Festival, the Summit Hill Hootenanny, and the Harvest Jam. Coal County has also played at fund raisers for local bluegrass organizations and the Cancer Telethon at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA.
CCE has recorded two CD projects. Welcome To Coal County was released in 2011, and Old Coal Town in January of 2017.
Band Members: Pat comes from Summit Hill, PA, and began playing musical instruments when he was just a boy. As one of 8 children in a musical family, he took up the banjo first and later also learned to play guitar, harmonica, mandolin, and bass. Pat has played in many configurations, but mainly as a solo performer.
Located in Reading, PA, Dave also began playing guitar as a youngster. He has worked in country, rock, and bluegrass bands, and also played as a solo performer for many years. Over time, Dave has added dobro and upright bass to his repertoire, and fools with the banjo and mandolin when nobody is listening.
Jillian also lives in Reading, PA, and started her musical career singing Bonnie Raitt tunes with her sisters into a hairbrush. Jillian has been playing bass since 1996, and has two children; Chelsea (guitar) and Mason (drums, bass, mandolin).
Opening the evening will be Juliana Parker. With addictive basslines and poignant, witty lyrics, Juliana's music is sure to keep you spellbound. On the piano she combines the sounds of pop and rock to create connections with strangers and younger versions of herself. Born the youngest of 3 in 1996, she craved an outlet for expression. In sixth grade she begged for piano lessons and learned from a thick Billy Joel volume until it was all under her fingers. In Autumn of 2014 she started at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, eventually majoring in Songwriting and minoring in Musical Theater Writing. She has been working closely with Livingston Taylor to perfect her songwriting and performance techniques. Her first EP, Every Detail, is due this spring. Her song "Waiting on the Line" featuring Miss Beltran was awarded runner-up in the Radio Airplay Love Song 2017 Contest. After graduating this May, she plans to work in New York and keep climbing from there.
The Perkasie Patchwork Coffeehouse is a ministry of the Perkasie Mennonite Church. The coffeehouse is warm and cozy, with lots of atmosphere.
