NDP leader Adrian Dix's flip-flop on the proposed $4.1-billion Kinder Morgan oil pipeline was a "disaster" that was a factor in the outcome of the provincial election, says Tom Sigurdson, head of unionized trades in B.C.
Sigurdson said he believes Dix's change in position was a key moment in the election, and changed the voting decision of at least some of the British Columbia members of the 23,000-strong B.C. and Yukon Territories Building and Construction Trades Council.
Unionized workers are generally counted on to vote NDP.
After Dix all but shut the door on the Kinder Morgan pipeline one week into the four-week election campaign period, Sigurdson said his office was inundated by calls from its members who were not happy with Dix's about-face.
Dix had been saying he would wait until after Kinder Morgan submitted a formal proposal before making any pronouncements on the project that would carry crude from the Alberta oilsands to the Lower Mainland for export to Asia. The trades council wanted to see environmental assessments completed on resource projects such as pipelines before decisions were made, noting the project would create jobs in B.C. for its members.
"To arbitrarily change that, I think that sent a shudder to the investment community and through the labour community," said Sigurdson.
"Our members build things. We build British Columbia. And if you have a change in policy, an unexpected change, it's significant," he said.
Before the election, the trades council had run a special edition featuring a photo of Adrian Dix on the front cover with five construction workers.
Sigurdson had penned an editorial in the election edition that noted: "The current B.C. Liberal government does not operate to the benefit of working people."The trades council has long had complaints of erosions of provincial apprenticeship programs and the labour code under the Liberals.
"All of those issues are important to us, but quite frankly I think when you get to the ballot box you vote with your interest being your pocket book," said Sigurdson, referring to the importance of jobs from construction projects.
United Steelworkers Western Canada director Steve Hunt also said he believed Dix's position change on Kinder Morgan had an effect on the outcome of the election.
"It was probably a significant mistake," he said, noting it created a question mark on how the NDP would handle resource development.
The NDP had already said they were not in favour of Enbridge's proposed $6-billion Northern Gateway pipeline in northern B.C., another project touted as creating economic activity and jobs.
B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair acknowledged the change in position on Kinder Morgan was also a factor in the election's outcome, but not necessarily a turning point.
"What it allowed the Liberals to do was characterize the NDP as someone who didn't support jobs. That was the critical issue there, even though the (Liberals') job creation record has been terrible," said Sinclair.
The Liberals also ran a "vicious" campaign that included negative advertising, which appeared to work, noted Sinclair.
Kinder Morgan's proposed twinning of its existing 1,150-kilometre pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby has attracted opposition from environmental groups, First Nations and Lower Mainland communities. Both Vancouver and Burnaby city council's have passed motions opposing the major expansion project.
When Dix made the unexpected election campaign announcement, he said an NDP government would not support a major increase in tanker traffic in and out of Metro Vancouver.
The NDP leader pointed to the increase to 450,000 barrels of oil from the Kinder Morgan project from the existing 80,000 barrels. "That's a real problem," said Dix.
He repeated his position later in the campaign during a news conference held at Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver.
Dix's campaign team was not responding to calls Friday, and NDP critics responsible for energy and the environment, John Horgan and Shane Simpson, could not be reached for comment.

Techno Girl programme tackles skills shortage
JOHANNESBURG/ PRETORIA, South Africa, 14 November 2011 An innovative public-private partnership, seeking to reverse the growing skills shortage in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in South Africa, is encouraging girls to pursue careers in these fields by giving them first-hand, real-world experience.
The Techno Girl programme identifies 15- to 18-year-old schoolgirls from disadvantaged communities and places them in corporate mentorship and job-shadowing programmes. The programme is a collaboration between the Department for Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities, the public and private sectors, and UNICEF. Since its inception in 2007, the programme has reached over 4,250 girls.
During a business breakfast last week, the Minister for Women, Children and People with Disabilities, Lulu Xingwana, recognized the achievements of the programme and called on companies and professional organizations to join.
We are giving girls the opportunity to excel in the fields that the countrys economy requires, said Ms. Xingwana. To be inspired to succeed, they need to have a solid understanding of the industries and to be guided regarding subject choices and tertiary education, while they are still at school.
Opportunities for girls
There is growing concern that South Africa is not preparing a sufficient number of graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. A large majority of secondary-school learners fail to reach proficiency in maths and science. Compared to other nations in global tests, the maths and science achievements of South African learners at grade three are significantly below average.
UNICEF is confident that over the coming years, Techno Girl will reach even more girls, inspiring them to become the scientists and engineers who will ensure a bright future not only for themselves and their families, but the country as a whole, said UNICEF Representative in South Africa Aida Girma.
Advancing rights and equity
A 2010 survey of Techno Girl participants showed that after going through the programme, 94 percent had a better understanding of the working world and the skills required for the various careers to which they were exposed.
For Khanyisile Mokele, 18, participating in Techno Girl has strengthened her confidence and determination to become a civil engineer. I want to design my own bridge, she says. Bridges bring the world closer.
With a focus on girls from disadvantaged backgrounds particularly in rural areas the programme is founded on the principle of equity. The expansion of the programme by the Government of South Africa shows the countrys commitment to advancing the rights of girls and women.

PRINCETON — The city of Princeton is still having concerns about illegal dumping of items at its recycling center on North Euclid Avenue.
At this week's meeting of the Princeton City Council, Commissioner Ray Mabry said the community enjoys having a recycling center, but some people are abusing it. In recent weeks, furniture and prescription drugs have been dropped off at the center. As he's said before, probably 95 percent of the people are following the guidelines, but the other 5 percent are causing a problem for everyone else. Also, there are people, outside of the Princeton community, who are apparently bringing their yard waste to the adjoining brush collection site, he said.
"We want to remain a green community and offer the recycling center, but it gets tough when we continue to have things dumped there that aren't recyclable in any way, shape or form," Mabry said.
Commissioner Joel Quiram said he's under the impression that most of the illegal dumping is done during the overnight hours. A couple years ago, he brought up the idea of setting regular open hours for the recycling center and closing it overnight, which would probably eliminate a huge percentage of illegal dumping. Fencing could help with the closing of the center at night, he said.
When there is illegal dumping, city crews have to go over and clean it up, Quiram added.
Mayor Keith Cain said he's asked the council to have cameras installed at the recycling center, which should eliminate some of the ongoing problems of illegal dumping. A camera was installed at the Veterans Park gazebo, across from city hall, and that has greatly helped with problems there, the mayor said.
If fencing was installed, he has a concern that people would just drop their stuff there, Cain said. He also doesn't want to see junk placed in alleys or other places.
No further action was taken on possible solutions to the problem, other than a request from the council for people to not abuse the recycling center or brush collection site.
In his report at Monday's meeting, Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson presented a proposal for Wendler Engineering, of Dixon to put together plans for a possible parking lot reconstruction project at the Amtrak depot station, with an engineering cost of $10,000. That information would be presented to Vissering Construction as a possible way to offset some balances for the company's liquidated damages with the city's new water treatment plant project. Once the engineering is complete, the city can negotiate further terms with Vissering Construction, Clawson said.
The council will take the proposal under consideration at its next meeting.
The council also heard from Steve Bouslog, president of the Youth Services Bureau of Illinois Valley Foundation Board, and Frank Vonch, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau of Illinois Valley, who were present for the signing of a proclamation by Mayor Keith Cain designating April as Child Abuse Awareness Month.
After 25 years of investigating child abuse and neglect cases, Vonch said he wish he could say child abuse and neglect were diminishing, but that's not what's happening. It's good to have a YSB office in Princeton and it's important to remember child abuse awareness is an issue not just during April but throughout the year, he said.
Statistics show five children die from child abuse each day in the United States, Bouslog said. That's a sad statistic, and it's important for people to be aware of child abuse and to support the efforts that try to eliminate it, he said.

Poetry is meat and meet. Sustenance and connection. Poetry has the power to illuminate the human condition. To bond crafted words and considered ideas, and, most importantly perhaps, create relationships between people. This is my pain, this is my beauty – I share it with you, and I connect with you through your pain, your beauty. Poetry is wings. It takes us from one place to another. It takes us to places we might not normally go. Poetry helps us feel less alone.
Welcome to a place where you can read good poetry, find new book recommendations, and learn more about how to write your pain, write your beauty.
Most musings?will fall into the following three categories:
- Treasures – poems, usually from whatever poetry collection I'm currently reading, or perhaps just some wonder that I've stumbled over and want to share.
- Bindings – fuel for writing or reading poetry, short explorations of a poetic technique, or commentary on a poetics book, or a link to some information that will enrich the writing and reading of poetry.
- The Journey – musings on the writing life, including how writing good poetry might be a lot like living a good life. (Your definition of "good" as welcome as my own.)

Yesterday Games Workshop announced the launch of its new 'Finecast' line. You can read the announcement here. I was pleased to hear that the rumours circulating on the internet about the change to resin were true. Although I haven't seen the models in person yet the pictures of the new resin casts on the website look amazing and the detail is very crisp and sharp. Not only do the resin models produced from existing casts look much better than their metal counterparts, this move will allow Games Workshop to produce much more detailed models in the future. I can't wait to see the models sculpted purposely for the Finecast range.
There has been a lot of negativity about this move on the internet (which isn't surprising when you consider the mentality of most people who post on forums). However, personally I think this can only be a good thing. I much prefer working with resin and I also find that it is a more suitable material for wargaming than metal. The paint on metal models has a tendency to chip much more than on plastic and resin ones and I wouldn't want my carefully painted models to be damaged during a game. Recently I have been considering collecting an Eldar army but the number of metal aspect warriors needed was making me reconsider. However, now this won't be a problem. I think that the metal Farseer that I am currently working on (pictured below) will remain a display piece when he's done and I'll buy a new resin one for gaming.
I'm pleased to see that Games Workshop is continuing to push back the boundaries of what is possible in the hobby. I'm very much looking forward to Saturday when hopefully I'll be able to see some of these models for myself in a GW store.

The Ridgeline has been a staple of the Honda lineup since its inception back in 2006 and rightly so. Meant to bridge the gap between conventional SUV and truck markets, the Ridgeline also offered a fuel-efficient alternative to larger cross-bred utility creatures such as the Chevy Avalanche, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and the awful Hummer H3T that launched later in 2009. With Honda's then-proven reliability and solid economy numbers backing it up, the Ridgeline was seen as an easy choice for someone looking to gain some size and utility without jumping up to an F-150. Six years later, the Ridgeline has seen little more than the occasional styling tweak, so I figured I should get it out and see if it can still keep up with the competition.
For starters, the latest design tweak of the Ridgeline is a pretty good one. The black honeycomb-style grille and black detailed alloy wheels give the exterior of the Ridgeline that hint of modern toughness that had been lacking over the last few years. It's surprising how much impact such a minor change can make. The funky twin-function tailgate that either folds down or swings open is still intact. On many occasions it proved to be invaluable when loading heavier items in and out of the massive hidden trunk. Yes, that's right – the Ridgeline has both a short truck-bed, and a large, fully sealed trunk underneath it, so regardless of where you're heading there's tons of room to pack anything you might need.
Sadly, there's a plain and utilitarian style to the Ridgeline's passenger cabin that just doesn't feel up to par. With truck manufacturers making vast improvements to their interiors over the past few years, we can only hope that Honda will up their style game soon. Still, for those looking for utility over esthetic, the Ridgeline's cabin has that in spades. There seems to be a never-ending array of compartments and cubbyholes available to hide everything from your smart-phone to a 10-course picnic lunch. Although it has an appropriate hiding place for that phone, the Ridgeline is one of the few vehicles left out there that doesn't come with Bluetooth as standard equipment. To get Bluetooth, you'll have to shell out for the Touring model, adding a whopping $4,300 to the MSRP. Not too bad if you really want the navigation, reversing cameras, fancy heated seats and upgraded audio that come along with it, but if you just want to have hands-free calling, it's a bit of a kick in the pants.
On the road, the Ridgeline is still clearly chasing truck fanatics. Unlike quite a few SUVs and crossovers turning up on the market, Honda makes no attempt to give the Ridgeline a car-like ride, and for that I say thank you. It's big, tall, and lumbering as one would expect, without feeling like it's going to barrel roll if you point yourself into a corner a bit quicker than expected. Manoeuvring around into tight parking spots and through narrow laneways had me rapidly longing for the optional rear view camera as rearward visibility is far from stellar. However, I don't see many urbanites clamouring for this thing.
Though it's not without its quirks, I'm the first to admit this uber ute has grown on me. The only problem is I've been having a harder and harder time placing its real target audience. I suppose if a young outdoorsy couple with an aversion to traditional pickup trucks who owned a couple of dirt bikes and liked going camping for a month at a time were shopping for a vehicle this thing would be absolutely spot on. All kidding aside, anyone contemplating jumping the gap from SUV to mid-size truck should definitely take a look.
The Specs

Peter Asmus came to me to see
if I can help improve visibility of his partner's site, KT's Kitchen,
a private chef catering Marin County out of Stinson Beach. KT's site was using a single-page template and needed additional help to expand its SEO-abilities
within its limited resources. First by establishing what is important to the business and who her target audience was, we established a set of keywords
and then applied them to all the page URLs, meta page titles and descriptions, headings, link and image meta data, IDs and names. I then recreated
a sitemap.xml, and set up accounts for us to track the effectiveness of our efforts at Google Analytics, Bing and Google Webmaster Tools,
and provided a base traffic report. In 30-days I will produce a complimentary report, comparing traffic from the base report and suggesting efforts
to improve the site's marketing efforts. Read On

The opening goal came in the 48th minute against the run of play when Costa Rica carved open the Canadian defence to find Victor Nunez streaking down the left and his shot beat goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld. Two minutes later, the visitors were reduced to 10 men when midfielder Randall Azofeifa was sent off for a second yellow card after taking down Tomasz Radzinski to the artificial turf. And the game got more ill-tempered, as the evening wore on. De Rosario answered in the 54th minute, taking a majestic cross-field pass from Julian de Guzman and hammering a left-footed shot past Costa Rican goalkeeper Jose Francisco Porras. The Houston Dynamo attacking midfielder has a history of spectacular goals in Major League Soccer play and this strike was a worthy addition to his collection. Substitute Rob Friend had a half-chance to win it in the 86th minute, but a Costa Rican defender took the ball off his boot from in close, as the Canadian was about to shoot. Canada looked lively on the night and will feel they should have won the contest. Coach Dale Mitchell did his bit, throwing on fresh attackers as the match progressed. The game was the first in Toronto for the national team since a 0-0 draw with Mexico in a World Cup qualifier on November 15, 2000, a gap largely due to lack of a suitable venue after Varsity Stadium was demolished. Since then, the Canadian men have played 53 internationals of which only seven have been at home Burnaby, BC (3), Kingston, Ontario (2), Edmonton (1) and Montreal (1). Not many showed up to welcome the national team back to Canada's largest city. The match, with singles tickets ranging from $15 to $100, drew a sparse crowd of 9,325 on a cloudy night at BMO Field. There were more players on the field than fans in the top tier of the west stand - the stadium's biggest - when the anthems started. For Canadian players who had left their clubs in Europe to make the long flight home in economy, the empty seats must have made for a depressing sight. Especially when the expansion MLS side Toronto FC has sold out all its home games with raucous crowds of some 20,000 per game. After a slow start, Canada got into the game and both sides enjoyed good stretches of possession in the first half, although neither goalkeeper was threatened. The closest call was in the 39th minute when Costa Rica's Porras came out to punch a Canadian cross away. Porras had to be sharp to stop Atiba Hutchinson's low shot in first-half injury time after a nice buildup by de Guzman and Radzinski. Costa Rica's midfield duo of veteran Walter Centeno (formerly of AEK Athens) and Azofeifa (KAA Gent, Belgium) ruled early on, but Canada's de Guzman (Deportivo La Coruna, Spain) and de Rosario gradually began to make their mark. Canada outshot Costa Rica 7-0 in the first half. Canada came close again in the 46th when Porras deflected Ali Gerba's shot over the crossbar. Both teams made extensive changes from their Gold Cup meeting in June, when Canada won 2-1. The home side's starting 11 Wednesday featured six players who started in the Gold Cup game, while the Costa Rican lineup had just four of the Gold Cup starters. Costa Rica is ranked 52nd in the world, one place above Canada. The two teams are third and fourth, respectively, in CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean. Mexico (number 11 overall) and the USA (number 17) are number one and two in the confederation. Canada and Costa Rica will be battling for a World Cup berth in the region, probably behind the Mexicans and Americans. The top three CONCACAF teams advance to the 2010 tournament in South Africa, with the fourth-place side meeting the fifth-placed South American team from CONMEBOL qualifying to determine who joins them. Notes: The game was the second for Mitchell as Canadian coach. The Canadians tied 1-1 in Iceland in his debut last month. A coalition of Canadian fan groups asked supporters to wear black at the game for "Black Wednesday" to protest upheaval at the Canadian Soccer Association. It was hard to tell the extent of the protest. Previous Next

New research has shown that the Bristol, England area was once home to pygmy island dinosaurs.
The dinosaurs, the thecodontosaurus or "socket toothed lizard", are not themselves newly discovered. In fact, they were one of the first dinosaurs to ever be named. The first fossils of the six foot long dinosaur were originally found in 1834, before dinosaurs were even recognized as a group, at the site of the current Bristol Zoo. 11 more thecodontosaurus skeletons were found in 1975 in a quarry north of Bristol, which helped create the idea that the creatures had lived on the mainland in some sort of desert.
But new evidence has caused a radical rethink on the dinosaurs' lifestyle and evolution. Fossil pollen expert Prof. John Marshall of Southampton University worked on a study of the animals with Bristol University dinosaur expert Dr. David Whiteside. The team found that the animals not only lived more recently than previously suspected, by 10 million years, but that they were also island dwellers.
Partially in response to finds on several islands around Bristol, the animals are now thought to have lived on small islands of up to 8 square miles in the area. The study found charcoal traces that indicated the islands were also swept by wildfires, and had a temperature similar to today's Caribbean islands.
This also leads to some changes in thoughts about thecodontosaurus' place in the evolution of the prosauropods, a dinosaur group it belonged to. Thecodontosaurus was originally thought to be a primitive version of the larger, long-necked prosauropods that grew up to 30 feet. Now, the study argues that the species was actually a pygmy version of the species. Like the pygmy elephants once found on the island of Malta, they think these dinos had a case of "island dwarfing, caused by a limited amount of resources on the small islands where they lived.
Dr. Whiteside said the discovery of the island fossils "changes the context which we should view Thecodontosaurus. It has many similarities to the giant Plateosaurus (a precursor of the sauropods) that lived at the same time and other researchers have not taken into account the rapid changes that take place when large animals are isolated on islands of decreasing size. We believe that the Bristol dinosaur is probably a dwarfed species that derived from the giant Plateosaurus or a very similar animal."

Andrew Wiggins ready for spotlight of No. 1 draft pick
There's one thing Andrew Wiggins will be surely prepared for once he enters the NBA: the spotlight.
Wiggins came to Kansas with unreachable expectations, being projected as one of the best players to come out of high school since LeBron James. The 6-8 forward was being projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft in June last year.
"I know I can never live up to expectations," Wiggins said. "I try to set goals for myself and achieve those goals. I just want to be the best player I can be to be successful.
"I think the NBA is much more my style, but I'm going to be patient. I think right away my defense can be my X factor."
Wiggins quietly improved his game at Kansas. But it was fellow freshman Jabari Parker from Duke who took all the "best freshman" headlines. Wiggins averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds a game as a freshman, but his unspectacular performances — scoring three points against rival Oklahoma State and four points in a season-ending loss to Stanford — seemed to overshadow his flashes of brilliance — a 41-point outing against West Virginia and a 17-point, 19-rebound performance against Iowa State.
"Andrew is the type of guy who could score 28, and you'd say, 'Why didn't he score more?' Critics want him to do more," said Jayhawks coach Bill Self, who jokingly remembers finding out Wiggins was playing for Kansas via Twitter. "I understand that because the game comes so easy to him, it's so natural. His skill set vastly improved in one year of college basketball, and when it catches up to his athletic ability, he's going to be incredible.
"The kid declared (to play in the NCAA) early and should have been a freshman this year. For anyone who's studied him, they should see that the improvement he made in nine months was tremendous. And now it's time for another step. I think that'll be a natural step."
The biggest criticism Wiggins has received has been his lack of a put-the-team-on-my-back mentality. "There's no question about his gifts — his talent and athleticism. But does he have a takeover personality? Is he that kind of star? That might be the biggest question of this year's draft," NBA draft analyst Jay Bilas said.
"He doesn't show a lot of emotion, but that doesn't mean he's not into it," Self said. "Can he develop that killer instinct? I believe he can. … He's very even-keeled. His highs aren't too high, and his lows aren't too low. If he was more emotional, he couldn't have handled all the hype surrounding him as a freshman. In the NBA, it's an 82-game season. You hear about guys hitting that rookie wall. He's not going to, because he's not an up-and-down guy. What you see is what you get."
Wiggins said having two parents who are elite athletes — his father, Mitchell, is a former NBA player and his mother, Marita Payne-Wiggins, is a former Olympic track and field sprinter — has helped him keep a levelheaded approach in the midst of all the hype.
"That media glare has been there since he was 14, and then he was called the next LeBron James," Mitchell Wiggins said of the attention surrounding his son. "I told him, 'No one can judge you with how good you can be until you have those three letters on, and that's N, B, A.'
"Some people want him to grow a mustache and look mean on his face. Andrew's not about that; he's not about stats. You don't go to Kansas and play for me. You play for the front of your jersey, for your teammates. For those who say he needs to look serious, ready to kill, or that he needs some pit bull in him, well, judgment day is when he gets to the NBA — when he starts playing against grown men."
Mitchell Wiggins played six NBA seasons, with the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers. He played another 10 years in different basketball leagues in the USA and overseas.
"Andrew grew up in a gym," Mitchell said. "These young cats today don't work on their fundamentals. Andrew's fundamentally sound. He's got a lot of athletic talent, but you need more than that. He's comfortable being who he is, and if he becomes the best Andrew Wiggins he can be, I think he'll be one of the greatest players ever."
Wiggins is ecstatic to fulfill a life-long dream of playing professional basketball, but he's thinking about the next step after his career is over.
"Basketball is a big part of my life, but I've got a life outside basketball," Wiggins said. "Whenever I have doubts or questions, my parents always have my back. … I love the game, but what happens when the air comes out of the basketball? You have to know what really matters."


text: LadyArwen #1 Posted June 13, 2016 In this episode, Arya tells Lady Crane that she's not interested in going to Pentos, and is instead going to see what's "west of Westeros", which "nobody knows". This could very easily have been a bit of filler/fluff to make it sound like Arya maybe had a plan, but could this be something that eventually gets fleshed out? I can't really see Book!Arya living happily ever after in Westeros after this is all said and done, so perhaps she just sails off into the sunset a la Frodo Baggins.

Like dumb sheep to the slaughter, most of mankind continues to blindly follow pagan traditions, rather than obey God's clear commands (Mark 7:7).
Has it ever occurred to those stuffing their faces with Easter ham that Jesus would puke at the thought? Neither Jesus or Peter, James or John ever ate forbidden foods. They wouldn't feel too comfortable at plenty of people's dinner tables.
Even the early Gentile converts to Jewish Christianity respected the biblical dietary laws (Acts 15:20), understanding that not all animal flesh is good food, that not all foods are sanctioned by the Creator in the Holy Scriptures (1Timothy 4:5).
When John the Baptist recognized Jesus as our Passover sacrifice, he declared: "Behold the Lamb of God" (John 1:29). He didn't say, "Here comes the Easter Bunny!" Again, like the Easter ham, the Easter rabbit is also rejected in the Bible as an abomination (Leviticus 11:6-7).
The very name of Easter exposes itself as a heathen festival, although it's cloaked as "Christian." Easter/Ishtar/Astarte is the Babylonian spring goddess our British-Israelite forefathers foolishly worshipped. Hence the fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs.
God isn't fooled by such baptized paganism, such whitewashed heathen customs (Deuteronomy 12:30). He commands us to commemorate Jesus' death every Passover and recognize His atoning work of redemption as our resurrected High Priest in Heaven, unleavening our lives of sin (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).
The early Church of God followed Jesus' Jewish example for several hundred years until Gentile opposition (from false converts) threatened them with a death sentence if they didn't bow before Easter observances (the Quarto-Deciman controversy)!
A growing number now know, understand and believe the biblical account that we're to observe Passover and that Jesus was resurrected before sunrise Sunday, "when it was yet dark" (John 10:1).
Others prefer to reject this light of understanding to remain in their traditional darkness and die in their sins (John 3:19) -- it's that serious! Because if our nations don't repent of such idolatry and immorality we'll soon suffer national destruction, defeat and deportation! That's why this article of faith is part of our plea to diehard Catholics and Protestants to repent.
Thankfully, every generation has those chosen few who are willing to reject holidays for holy days and "earnestly contend for the faith once delivered" (Jude 3).
Hopefully, this plain truth about Easter will cause you to question your beliefs and provide some "kosher" food for thought!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mashed potatoes again. They're easy, almost everybody likes them, they don't take much thought. There's just not much to get excited about though, is there?
Then again . . .
Atlanta chef/author Virginia Willis has this crazy ability to think like a chef about simple things. Her newest book, "Basic to Brilliant, Y'all" (Ten Speed Press, $35) is really sort of brilliant in itself: She has all these great recipes, most Southern in inspiration. For each one, she gives the recipe, then she gives you something else with it - a way to dress it up, or use it another way, or add something to it. For instance, she has a recipe for Seafood Jambalaya, and with it she gives you an idea for grinding your basic bag of fried pork skins into a powder in a food processor and sprinkling it over things like jambalaya. Yes, she thinks like that.
Her mustard-flavored mashed potatoes really grabbed my lapels and shouted "cook me!" And when I did, it shouted with flavor. Seriously, mustard whisked into mashed potatoes: Sounds strange. Tastes delicious. I haven't made the second recipe, but it might be just the thing for ramping up your Thanksgiving potatoes.
Virginia Willis, I bow to your cooking talent. Well-played, missy.
Yukon Gold Mash With Coarse-Grain Mustard From "Basic to Brilliant, Y'all," by Virginia Willis.
2 pounds (4 to 6) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
Coarse salt
1 1/3 cups low-fat or whole milk (I used skim, which worked fine)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup coarse-grain Dijon mustard
Freshly ground white pepper (I used black pepper, and it didn't blow up)
Place potatoes in a large, heavy saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with salt, bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease heat to low. Gently simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
Combine milk, butter and mustard in a small saucepan over low heat while the potatoes are cooking. Cook until the butter is melted; cover and keep warm.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return to the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until a floury film forms on the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. (You're just drying the potatoes so they mash well without being watery.) Remove from heat. Pass the potatoes through a ricer or food mill, or mash with a potato masher. Add the warm milk mixture, stirring vigorously until well-combined. (I added it by additions, so it didn't get too loose.) Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and white pepper. Serve immediately.
Pommes Mont d'Or Yes, it means "Golden Potato Mountain." Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a gratin dish with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Let the potato mixture cool slightly in the saucepan, then add 3 lightly beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared gratin dish and spread gently with a spatula. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Gruyere on top and bake until a rich, golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly, then serve. Serves 4 to 6.

JERUSALEM, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Israel criticized a European Union listing that stated an Israeli city was a settlement and said its products will not be allowed duty-free entrance into Europe.
"For anyone who deals in reality, there is not the slightest doubt that the Modi'in, Maccabim and Re'ut localities are an integral part of Israel, and their future is not in question," a Foreign Ministry statement published by The Jerusalem Post said. "The EU ignores reality when it extends the domain of conflict to places and issues that do not belong there. "
Modi'in, Maccabim and Re'ut were merged into a city in 2003, located approximately half way between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The municipality lies beyond the Green Line in an area known as "no-man's land," a narrow strip of land between Israel and the West Bank whose sovereignty was never fully clarified after the War of Independence in 1948.
For the past seven years, Israeli exporters to European Union countries have had to list zip codes and place names of where goods are manufactured. Under a free trade agreement with the EU, Israeli products are permitted duty free entry into Europe but not products made in West Bank settlements.
Due to apparent pressure from pro-Palestinian groups, the EU decided to publish a list of zip codes of Israeli products from which duties must be levied, and for the first time also published the names of the locations, the newspaper said.
The list stated three codes 71724, 71728 and 71799 for Modi'in, Maccabim and Re'ut respectively, the Post said. The move angered Israeli foreign ministry officials who said the issue was still being discussed with European officials.

I mean, are you done with teaching in KOREA, or just with teaching in Pohang? Is it the whole ESL market with which you are disillusioned, or do you just want to do it in a bigger city?

Even if it IS bad, I doubt it will be the worst place I have ever lived To give an example of the kind of info I am looking for in a response, here is a little of my own experience. I lived in Apkujeong in Seoul, which is supposed to be the "best" part of Seoul, or at least in the top 3 areas...travel was very convenient, as it was pretty centrally located, foreigners were pretty common, so there was little of the "stop and point" going on, and living in Apkujeong seemed to make me more respectable to some Koreans I met. Definite plusses for me. Cost of living was pretty high, though, as were entertainment costs. There was more than the usual high level of brand sensitivity in the area, with even MORE attention to appearance than I have seen elsewhere in Korea -- and as an average-ish (5'10" 180 pound American male) fellow, this focus on appearance ended up being a bit more annoying than I would have thought. When I had worked elsewhere in Korea, I was told I was fat maybe 5 times throughout the year...in Apkujeong I heard it several times a day from "well-meaning" people -- some of whom I just met. Their comments were along the lines of "you would be so handsome if you just lost some weight...." Love reading about those fat comments. Got that 5 years ago in the countryside. Almost got a complex over it. Got in better shape. Now, a lot of Koreans are getting fatter and chubbier. Sure has changed a lot over 10 years. Interesting what you wrote though.

I did that or better in Pohang, so back I come...old school, old boss, old job, new co-workers, new folks in the area.... ...so if anyone is dying to hang out with a sarcastic, overweight, middle-aged guy who always buys his round first (and really, who WOULDN'T want to hang wit' dat?), just holla....

Pierzynski gets nod behind plate against lefty
BOSTON -- Though David Ross generally starts for the Red Sox behind the plate against left-handers, A.J. Pierzynski got the nod on Tuesday night against Erik Bedard.
One reason was the fact John Lackey was pitching for Boston. Lackey and Pierzynski have worked well together in their first few weeks as teammates. Another was that Pierzynski is starting to warm up offensively and belted a grand slam on Saturday in Toronto. And then there was the third reason -- Pierzynski came in as a .429 hitter (9-for-21) lifetime against Bedard with two homers and four RBIs.
"Yeah, they're coming off a couple of games in which they worked very well together," said manager John Farrell of Tuesday's battery. "You know, A.J. has had a lot of success against Bedard as well, and we're looking at ways to lengthen out the lineup as best as possible. That doesn't mean that David is going to find himself not playing against left-handed starters. Coming off the off-day, everyone's rested to go, and this is the combination."
In a much smaller sample size, Ross had also fared well against Bedard, going 2-for-4 with two homers.
Pierzynski is Boston's primary starter behind the plate, but Ross should continue to see more playing time than the average backup.

If you have not noticed. No one is calling for open source office you are just trolling once again. I tend to think office for linux will be a good thing for the platform but that doesnt mean everyone one that doesnt is an open source zealot as you would like to say. The main issue with office is not that its not open source, but that it doesnt support open standards. This forces you to use office to access your own documents which should be your property and should not have such restrictions. If office were to stop being made in ten or twenty years time there may be no way for you to access your documents.
Finally since you love the term zealot so much I would like to inform you that you yourself are a zealot. Thats right on your self proclaimed war on open source fans you seem to be a fully blown closed source zealot, which brings anyone to the logical question of why you are a member of these forums? Why you follow the Phoronix blog? And why you even use linux? I still think that you are just a microsoft fanboy who doesnt acctually use linux and just trolls these forums.

This blog is intended as a resource for professionals that are responsible for the long-term planning of a website (How to find out if you a Web Strategist at your company). While not a Web Design blog, web strategists need to make decisions, dictate budget, or approve web design projects. A client recently asked me for some resources for Web redesign for their website, well actually, they wanted to know of some firms that do this, I have started a voluntary list, but realize there's quite a few steps that occur before and after dealing with a web design services company.
A Comparison of various Web Design Processes:
It's interesting to note the differences in Web Design process (which is arguably different from Software Design) from a variety of different industries and focuses.
No Smoke, No Mirrors
Research & Discovery
Competitive Analysis
Thumbnail Sketching
Execution & Implementation
The Seven Phases of Web Site development
Content development
Web Design Workflow, Complete Process
1. Client Consultation
2. Initial Drafts And Sketches
3. Photoshop Mock Up
4. Finalize The Design
5. Code Into XHTML/CSS
Breakdown of the ideal web design process
1. Know what you're doing
2. Know what the site needs to do
3. Know what the site's visitors want
4. Get a good picture of the personality and style of the web site
5. Sketch out highly successful scenarios
6. Organise views into a site map
7. Sketch the essential features & look
8. Map your visitors' attention
9. Arrange the visual elements to work together
Before you begin
* Planning
* Developing a site specification
The site development process
* Site definition and planning
* Information architecture
* Site design
* Site construction
* Site marketing
* Tracking, evaluation, & maintenance
Step 1–Defining the Core Process: discovery, planning, and clarification Step 2–Developing site structure: content-view, site-view, and page-view Step 3–Visual design and testing: creating, confirming, and handing off Step 4–Production and QA: prepping, building, and testing Step 5–Launch and beyond: delivery, launch, and maintenance
Most of these processes have a common theme that are broken down to Design, Production. A few of these processes don't include the analysis before any work is done, while some have various stages of design mockups. Some of these processes don't include post launch activity, such as testing or evaluation.
Of course, every process depends on the project at hand, however this is a good start to understand some common methods.

Kelly and Emily have released some additional resources for your planning needs. Also see the top resources sites for Web Designers. Lastly, there are tons of sites tagged in delicious with the terms web design process. If you're shopping around, Understand Web Design Pricing, or see a list of web design firms (add your own or favorite firm).
Update: Robyn Baker emailed me this interesting resource directory for Web Design and Web Designers called edezines,it's worth a look.
