This installment of our blog on Manuscript Studies identifies a fragmentary 13th-century leaf on vellum with monastic rules in Latin. Now reduced to a single column of its original double columns of text, the fragment carries parts of the Statutes of the Cistercian Order, in a mid-–13th-century version — or, rather, extension — of those Statutes. That extended version appears in full in a few other extant manuscripts. Mildred Budny describes the fragment and its testimony.
Now in a private collection, a fragment of a leaf in Latin on parchment or vellum survives from a text originally laid out in double columns of 23 lines. Of those columns, only the inner column (a or b) survives on each side (of former columns a–b). That is: there remain column a on the recto and column b on the verso.
The remnant carries parts of the text of Chapter XIV, De Conversis (“On the Lay-Brethren”), the penultimate chapter of a mid-13th-century version or extension of the Statutes of the Cistercian Order of monks and nuns— a religious order which continues to have an active life worldwide. To judge by the 19th- and 20th-century editions of those 13th-century Statutes (see below), there survive apparently a few manuscript witnesses, from France and elsewhere, to which can be added the manuscript from which “our” fragment derives.
It is a shame that its manuscript was dismembered and dispersed — and without suitable documentation.
We recognize that sellers may have reasons, for whatever reasons, for wishing to keep their sources and their own locations anonymous. It could nevertheless be useful to relate some elements which might have nothing to do with such tell-tale give-aways, but which could allow our wider knowledge to have some authentic clues from the intermediary. Such clues could guide assessments of the materials by ruling out some speculations that might not have any relevance, should we know such.
About the issue of irresponsible fragmentation and distribution of manuscripts (of whatever date, medieval included), we have strong views. Some posts for this Blog on Manuscript Studies state them. Examples include The ‘Foundling Hospital’ for Manuscript Fragments and Lost and Foundlings.
The spread of the Cistercian Order was impressive.

The Cistercian way of life emphasized solitude and isolation. Work, too, along with a strong measure of self-sufficiency. Guided by an ideal of individual poverty as well as a readiness to pursue collective endeavor, including manual labor, Cistercian monks held no personal property, while they worked the land and other resources. The plan worked, too.
As grants of lands extended the domains, with endowments sufficient to support the communities, the movement grew, and with it the requited need for Rules. Benedict, presumably, would have approved.
Rules to govern the internal affairs of each monastery might be one thing. Living larger, the Cistercian Order as a whole was regulated by statutes produced at Cîteaux in Burgundy, the mother-house of the Order.
And the Statutes Kept On Coming, Revisions and Updates Included.

The Order traces its origins to the foundation in 1098 of the monastery or abbey of Cîteaux, south of Dijon in Burgundy, France. Seeking more closely to follow the Rule of Saint Benedict — constructed, or at any rate, effectively promulgated, by Saint Benedict of Nursia (circa 480–550), or by someone else, whose identity remains unknown — a group of monks set out from Molesme Abbey also in Burgundy; choose a wooded, swampy, and scarcely populated area; founded their new abbey on the Feast Day of that Saint Benedict (21 March); and submitted to its first abbot, Robert of Molesme (1028–1111). Among these founders was the widely-traveled, many-faceted, multilingual Englishman Stephen Harding (died 1134). Such beginnings demonstrate the broad, yet focused, horizons of the movement as it launched its journey across time.
The rest is History. Writ large, even.
Admiring the momentum of this accumulated movement across regions and generations, and many of its monuments in stone and other media, let us pause to focus upon the bit of a leaf from a version of its Statutes. The fragment has a place for its testimony in the course of history. Here is its moment, or, perhaps, the first of such moments which it may attain.
Studies of the Cistercian Order, its origins, context, history, impact, and continuing vitality are many. They appear in various languages, in various degrees of detail, both in print and online. A few references, online and in print, might set the stage for exploration.

The earliest Statutes of the Cistercians have received monumental scholarly attention. Among the many sources and discussions published, disseminated, and reviewed, a selection of works here might provide directions toward the massive bibliography, along with some complex guidance to the manuscripts which transmit those early Statutes.

Studies of the somewhat Later Statutes appear to be few and far between. Where they do emerge, they can be hard to find, and they can require paid access in one form or another (not available or readily available to all of us). Moreover, even when they do emerge in publication, they might not “talk to each other”or take account of one another — to the detriment of progress in shaping or refining knowledge of the evidence. As witness the information-lag between the studies conducted respectively in England and France, and in English and French, in the late 19th- and early 20th centuries, as lucidly described by Lucet (1977), pages 54–56.
An English translation of the early Statutes or Constitution of the Cistercian Order, also known as the C(h)arta C(h)aritatis (“The Bond of Love” or “The Charter of Charity”), appears online.

The text of the Carta Caritatas, probably assembled in 1114 when Cîteaux founded its second daughter house at Pontigny, regulates relations between Cistercian houses, according to the mutual love that should bind them together; apparently no manuscript of this version survives. A somewhat later version, known as the Carta caritatis prior (“The Earlier Charter of Charity”), approved in 1119 and composed by Stephen Harding, third Abbot of Cîteaux (died 1135), functions as the Constitution of the Order. Then came the Carta caritatis posterior (“The Later Charter of Charity”), composed between 1165 and 1173; it remains the basis of the Constitution of the Cistercians today.
Further codifications of the rules of the Order followed in stages, for example in 1237 and 1257, arising from the annual modifications, from 1220 onward, by the General Chapter. The Statutes of 1257 preceded the bull Parvus fons of 1265 by Pope Clement IV (pope from 1265 until his death in 1268). That intervention more-or-less settled the internal quarrels between the rival Abbots of Cîteaux and Clairveau over the authority to make appointments to the diffinitiorium, which functioned as a steering committee of the General Council of the Order.
Complicated, huh? To be expected, probably, with the rapid spread of the Order into different regions and time-periods.
a Libellus statutorum Cisterciensis ordinis (known as “The Book of Old Definitions”) copied after 1316–1317 (with the Posterior version) from the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Loos in Flanders.
Bernard Lucet’s edition of 1977 of the “Codification de 1257” of the Cistercian Statutes draws upon 8 medieval manuscripts. They are described on his pages 41–73, provided with distinguishing sigla, listed on page 204, and printed on pages 205–357, in tandem with the earlier Libellus of 1237 (drawn from 6 manuscripts).

Because Lucet’s publication did not become accessible to me, despite repeated efforts, until an advanced stage in my research on the New Fragment, it was necessary and possible to progress on the basis of Fowler’s edition, flawed as it is in certain respects. However, we progress as we can. Progress can be good — provided, of course, that it constitutes progress.
To put it another way. A fragmentary 13th-century leaf, now in a private collection, with monastic rules in Latin, carries parts of the Statutes of the Cistercian Order, in a 13th-century version as edited by Joseph Thomas Fowler in stages in the Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal, volumes IX–XI (1885–1890).
Fowler’s apparently rarely consulted edition is admittedly based upon one manuscript now in the British Library: Additional MS 11,294 (not yet available online). It came from the library of the Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay, founded in 1118 by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153), and located in what is now the Département of the Côte-d’Or in France.
As found on folios 25–36 of the manuscript witness. The complicated contents of the manuscript are listed by Lucet (1977), pages 50–54.
The text on “our” leaf corresponds with parts of the penultimate Distinctio (“Section”) of the Statutes of 1256–57, that is, Distinctio 14 out of 15 Distinctiones.
Purchased some years ago from the dealer Boyd Mackus, the fragmentary leaf is now in a private collection. The pencil item number ‘M[?] 3720’ at the bottom of the recto presumably represents the seller’s reference mark.
The leaf measures circa 142 mm × 61 mm, from crease to the more-or-less vertical cut edge. The text block of the surviving column measures circa 115 mm × 50 mm.
On each side, the leaf retains almost all of a single column of 23 narrow lines of text, parts of its upper and lower margins, and most of the inner margin. The edge of that margin extends to the ragged parts of the former stitching line, with bits of the inner margin of its former conjoint leaf or stub.
That the leaf formerly carried double columns of text (columns ‘a’ and ‘b’) is manifested by the portions of running titles standing in the upper margin. The surviving columns represent column a on the recto and column b on the verso, with the loss of 2 full columns of text between them.
The remnant carries separate parts of the text of Distinctio or Section XIV (represented as [XII]II in its fragmentary running title), Chapter V, ‘De Conversis’. That is, the portions occur within the penultimate Distinctio of these Statutes.
In Fowler’s edition, this Chapter spans pages 502–510 in his ‘Part VI’ (Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, Volume X); the portions represented on the leaf appear on his pages 505–506.
Column ra contains most of Chapter V.
It begins with faciant ordines suas and extends to ab idus septembri usque . . .
All of Chapter VI is missing.
Column vb contains the text from the last bit of Chapter VII through most of Chapter IX.
It extends from quando et monachi, near the end of Chapter VII, to se sicut monachi, near the end of Chapter IX.
Noting in bold the missing phrases which directly precede and follow these portions, so as to signal the words by which the verso and recto respectively immediately preceding and following this leaf would have participated in the flow of the text (provided that the manuscript represented it similarly to the cited witness of Fowler’s edition), or the words which continued the flow on the missing columns of text on the leaf itself (column b on the recto and column a on the verso), it is possible to report the span of text represented upon the fragment. By these signs might the formerly adjacent portions of the manuscript and the leaf itself be readily identified, were they to survive.
Stranger things have happened. Such identifications guide reconstructions of the original sequence of dispersed leaves in various manuscripts, including some considered in our blog. For example, Otto Ege Manuscript 41 and Otto Ege Manuscript 61.
The citations here represent the presentation in the edition, rather than the spellings, capitalization, punctuation, abbreviations, or other variant approaches in “our” fragment.
quando et Monachi; ita quod, audita prima issam exeant ad labores.
VIII. Nullus in grangiis vel in Abbatiis diebus Dominicis et festis quibus Conversi non laborant, in vecturis nisi pro victualibus deferendis, vel Ecclesiis construendis faciat laborare, nisi necessitas aliter exigerit.
IX. Quibuscumque diebus duæ Missæ canuntur, præcipuisque jejuniis, vel quando præsens defunctus fuerit Monachus, vel Novicius aut Conversus, et in sollempni commemoracione omnium fidelium, missarum intersint celebrationibus, nisi obedientia aliud præcipiat. In Ecclesia vero, in erectionibus et inclinationibus et cæteris observantiis, habeant se sicut monachi.
The running titles (now fragmentary) and the Section numbers (viii, ix) are written in red pigment. The Sections begin with inset and built-up 2-line initials (N for Nullus and Q for Quibuscumque) rendered alternately in blue and red pigment. The slender and mostly vertical tail of the Q descends in the intercolumn for 4 more lines. The roman numerals in both the running titles and the section numbers are sometimes flanked by dots, sometimes not.
Lesser initials, written in Capitals in the same brown ink as the text, are highlighted with a wash, lines, or filler in red pigment. As an aid to legibility, they enhance the openings of the sections which run together within the lines, increasing the coverage of text-per-column. Only the Chapters merit openings on new lines (vb4 and 12), with inset, enlarged, and fully colored initials.
The bright red pigment is apparently vegetal in origin. It remains bright, rather than darkening or fading, as metallic red pigments tend to do over time and through exposure.
Lucet’s edition of the 1257 Codification records the titles similarly on pages 340–340, with a few differences. This edition provides them with Arabic Numbers instead (5–9), and selects 2 readings different from Fowler’s choice. It has Conversi instead of Conversis at the end of Number VI/6, and relegates the phrase quomodo fiant of Fowler’s Number VII [or 7] to the textual apparatus at the foot of the page, where that reading or variant is reported as being attested in most witnesses: MSS F [=Fowler’s], Fd [Frauenfeld], H [Harley], L [Laon] , Pa [Pavia], S [Stams].
The point of these distinctions regarding the Distinctiones is that the New Fragment, even without having Distinction Titles, by means of its Section Numbering VIII and IX, aligns its record of the updated Cistercian Statutes with the 1257 Codification, not the earlier one of 1220, with which its text — according to Lucet’s edition of both these Codifications in tandem — also substantially agrees.
A useful distinction, don’t you agree, for the purposes of assessing the probable date of the fragment? And so, apparently it must have for its origin a terminus post quem (“boundary later than”) of 1257, when that version of the Codification was settled into place.
We thank the owner of the leaf for permission to research and reproduce it.

Cold weather is rapidly approaching and if you haven't done so , it will soon be time to put your bees "to bed" for the winter.
I have been using a pretty simple method for the last several years and it seems to work well. I got this idea from Sue Raker - a Keeweenaw Master Beekeeper.
The sawdust or wood shavings ( I use planer shavings) act as an insulator and absorbs hive moisture. There are certainly more complex methods but this does the trick for me. By mid to late December my hives are pretty well buried in the snow - which acts as a great insulator. When I put mine to bed in the next couple of weeks, I will show how I keep an air space at the bottom and what I will do with my top-bar hives.
See video for overwintering demonstration.
The Michigan Beekeepers Association held their conference last Friday and Saturday. The trip to Flint was well worth the time and expense. Being surrounded by that many beekeepers is in itself an experience. The keynote speaker was Dan Purvis, a chemical free beekeeper and breeder from the South--very thought provoking. The following is a listing of sessions that were held over the two days along with vendors and all of the "latest and greatest" bee stuff.
They also had a honey show where your honey was judged on several characteristics. Our local Marquette honey was #1 in taste.
There is a spring conference in East Lansing that you might consider attending. There is a link on this sight to the MBA home page where you can join and or just get information. Steve Tilman(MBA Treasure) is a great source for those interested in building some of their own "bee stuff."
Dan Purvis session on Chemical free beekeeping.
Is anyone out there going to the conference this Friday and Saturday in Flint, Michigan? Check out the MBA link on this site to peruse the agenda for the conference.
As I will be going downstate, let me know if there is specific info you want me to check on or possibly pick up items from the many vendors that will be there. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Be sure to check your hives for adequate winter supplies. I have been busy redistributing honey among my hives. Feeding a 2 sugars to 1 part water syrup,may be an option should your hives be short at this time. Flowers are now in very short supply so don't be hesitant to feed if necessary.
My top bar hives seem to be doing well. Hopefully the winter will be kind to them---time will tell. The swarm I had pictures of back in early August now has the top bar hive filled with comb,honey and brood. What a pretty color the comb is!
I will not "put the bees to bed" for the winter until late October.

After a beautifully relaxing day in our RV on Saturday, we decided we needed a short day trip somewhere close to the Phoenix metro area. Of all the places we considered, Bartlett Lake won out because it had been a couple of years since our last visit.
Bartlett Lake is part of the Tonto National Forest, which requires a separate daily pass for $8. We have a habit of carrying spare passes – you cross out the day/month/time/year when you use it – so we packed up and drove to just past Carefree, AZ.
I had heard there were mexican poppies blooming, so we looked for those first, once we reached the lake area. It’s a 14 mile drive down Bartlett Dam Rd from Cave Creek Rd, but there were limited sightings along the way.
We found success taking Forest Road 459 down about a mile and a half.
And amazing views, as well!
We drove down to the Yellow Cliffs area, which has a boat launch area and dispersed camping. While I would not take our Class A RV to dry camp there, we saw several fifth wheels, Class Cs, and a couple of Class Bs. The road to the best camping is very rough and windy – if you do take an RV down there, make sure everything is secure.
From this area, this is how the lake looks. Pretty impressive when clouds break up the blue skies.

Disconnect each wire from the socket by gripping it with a hook or pliers immediately beside the connector and pulling the wire sharply upwards.
I have just been through this as the Field Marshall bought an old black bakerlight phone for the front room and I had to get it to match our wiring. It had a male plug from the 50's, which I had to match up with a non operational wall socket left in the room from the 70's which then had to be 'livened up' from a 'modular' plug 15 meters away.
If you plan to attach your telephone to the wall, make sure you buy a wall mount jack, rather than a flush jack. A wall mount jack juts out from the wall, providing a structure on which to mount your telephone. A flush jack lies flat against the wall, allowing you to plug in your phone, but not mount it.

With Leeds United taking victory on Tuesday evening, Sheffield United made the trip to St Andrew’s Stadium earlier this evening to face Birmingham City looking to retake second spot in the table for ourselves.
With two points separating the side going into the tie, taking full advantage once again of our game in hand would restore our point cushion.
The hosts were the far brighter in terms of what they did with the ball and chances created, but had the lions share of possession and Enda Stevens established our lead in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, they were back on level terms four minutes later, so we went into the break level.
Neither side could find a breakthrough in the final 45 minutes so we lose the advantage the game in hand could’ve given us, but games remain and they’ll be a twist or turn yet in the race for the automatic spots.
Speaking to the BBC following the fulltime whistle, manager Chris Wilder said of our efforts on the evening.

As a ground nesting and feeding bird there are enough dangers in life already without the threat of a fox eating your eggs, your babies or even you. To have survived pressures such as habitat loss and native predators only to have a newly hatched baby bird run down by a fox is a pressure adult birds can do without.
Over 80 waterbird species call the Gippsland Lakes home as well as migratory birds that travel thousands of kilometres every year to feed and rest. These birds depend on the health and safety of the Gippsland Lakes for their existence. This is why the Gippsland Lakes are RAMSAR listed and part of an international agreement to look after worldwide migrating waterbirds.
Foxes are just one of the many potential threats to birds that live in the Gippsland Lakes but it is one threat that is being targeted.
Working together and sharing skills GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC), Parks Victoria, landowners and Trust for Nature are conducting several fox baiting programs in areas around the Gippsland Lakes. The aims are to reduce the fox numbers which will give the waterbirds a chance to survive, breed and increase their populations.
Birdlife Australia together with the regional group of volunteers from Birdlife East Gippsland is also involved with their project being one of eleven that received funding in the Gippsland Lakes Community Grants 2017. They are working on a fox index which will measure the presence of foxes in waterbird breeding sites and their impact on these ground nesting birds. The index will assist managers to measure the success of the baiting program.
Healthy fisheries need healthy habitat – that was the message at the East Gippsland Fish Habitat Forums held at the Marlo and Nicholson Angling Clubs last week.
Organised by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (the EGCMA), the forums were a good opportunity to discuss the state of the regions fisheries and have a yak with mates. Fishing legend ‘Bushy’ Busch fielded questions about local fish including Estuary Perch and Bass, discussed the benefits of catch and release and talked techniques specific to fishing the waterways of East Gippsland.
EGCMA CEO Graeme Dear was on hand to kick off the Angler River Health Grants with a total of $50,000 available to angling clubs who want to get involved with improving a patch of river in East Gippsland. The grants will give local angling groups the ability to work directly with the EGCMA on the river banks and surrounds that are important to them.
Angler River Health Grants are an initiative of the Water Plan for Victoria and also compliment the State Government’s commitment to delivering its $46 million Target One Million plan for recreational fishing, which aims to grow participation to one million anglers by 2020.

The main purpose of XPadder is to simulate the workings of a keyboard or a mouse, depending on which one that you want to use. The program itself was developed by a man named Jonathan Firth. Instead of using a mouse or a keyboard to carry out a lot of the basic functions on a computer, the user will end up using a joystick. A lot of the time, this is a program that is used for the likes of playing video games. The program itself can also be used for a number of other things as well and is not just limited to the playing of video games.
As a very basic program, there are a number of different features that users will be able to get into. These features are of course very basic in and of themselves, but they are there in order to get the job done. They include the emulation of both a keyboard and a mouse. As well as this, you will be able to carry out certain tasks such as profile management. Profile management and emulation are not the only features that you will be able to use with this program, however. You will also be able to use the support when it comes to rumble on capable controllers. As well as this, a lot of users can utilize it fully if the software that they are working with is supported by Microsoft Windows.
There are a lot of other emulator programs out there and a lot of them will also have a much greater amount of features that users can pick and choose from. As a result, there is a considerable amount of limitations that people will find with this type of software. This is not something that a lot of users are happy about and many people find that it is almost impossible to use this feature for the likes of online gameplay. The only time that you can use it in online gameplay is if the game itself does not make use of anti-cracking software.
Overall, a program like this is probably not a good idea to stick to. If you have it as a backup then that is fine, but XPadder does have better competitors out there so it is a good idea to have a look at those.
Developed by Jonathan Firth, this basic program's platform is Microsoft Windows and therefore it is usually a good idea to have a computer with this operating system if you plan on using this. It is licensed as proprietary software and if you want, you will be able to take a look art the website which will be able to give a more in-depth look at it. There are also a number of other versions that have been released since the program started up. For anyone who is looking for something basic that may help to replace a keyboard or a mouse, this is usually a good option to choose from.

Eirik Myhr (born 1982), from the small Norwegian town of Ringebu, has been writing songs and composing music since the age of seven, and worked regularly on Norwegian films, television and stage productions for the last 13 years. Due to his songwriting and band background, his music is sometimes a cross between classical scoring styles and an indie pop/rock aesthetic - or one or the other. Whether he is working with a string quintet-based, minimalist score like the Polish/Norwegian documentary film I AM KUBA, or the crazy, Ylvis-like songs for comedian Bård Tufte Johansen's wildly popular stand-up performance MANN (44), the constant versatility of the projects is what keeps him going.
Myhr's feature film scores include LOS BANDO (most award winning Norwegian film of 2018), RAFIKI and THE TOUGH GUYS. For the latter, Myhr was awarded the 2013 Music Award by the Norwegian composer and lyricist organization NOPA, as well as the award Best Comedy Score 2013 by film music website Reel Music (other nominees included Alexandre Desplat and Henry Jackman).
For the stage, he has scored three different stageplay adaptations of Henrik Ibsen's PEER GYNT, also incorporating Edvard Grieg's legendary themes in new and unexpected ways. Sticking to the classics of Scandinavian literature, he has also scored highly acclaimed stage adaptions of two of Astrid Lindgren's most beloved fantasy works - THE BROTHERS LIONHEART and MIO IN THE LAND OF FARAWAY. In addition, Myhr has crafted the musical fairytale universe of TROLLNATT - the annual stageplay concept at the folklore-themed amusement park Hunderfossen (the "Disneyland" of Norwegian fairytales!), now in its 9th season. As the subject matter makes evident, there is a clear presence of "the Nordic Sound" in much of Myhr's work.
Eirik Myhr has also penned themes for a number of famous Norwegian TV series like the award winning BO BEAR and TANGERUDBAKKEN, and scored many short films. In between battles he is working on his new solo EP, aptly titled "Wait for it - Vol. 1".

The Heat should make Bosh the first option off the bench, he should lead the second unit. That way he can have more touches and a more familar role. He seems to be crowded out the offense in the starting group with Wade and James getting the majority of the touches.
Also production won't drop as much when the Big Two are on the bench getting their rest... ala Leborn!
Umm with Haslem going down I don't see how that's possible.
No, the Heat won't put a guy they are paying 100 million dollars on the bench.
If the Heat tried to bench Bosh, he would quit.
If the Heat tried to bench Bosh, he would quit life.
Poor guy is going to miss the spotlight and feeling of being a hero soon. But I do believe he can turn it around as the team get more acquainted.
his ego wouldn't accept it.
Why? He is putting up 17 and 7 and getting better on the boards. He is shooting over 50% and they don't have a better option to put someone ahead of him.
It's not a bad idea. I would experiment with it, what can it hurt. They are still a work in progress.
What are you people talking about? Bosh has been picking it up lately.
:facepalm: Really a bad suggestion.
they should all start, but if someone where to be a 6th man, it'd be wade (olympic team).
usually the best 6th men are guards or vertsatile guys who can create shots for themselves as well as their teammates - ginobili, odom, terry, etc.
bosh also needs to be the 2nd option for miami if they were to be at their best.
wade dominates the perimeter, bosh gets his in the post, and lebron is the jack (king) of all trades.
Putting him on the bench wont take away from soft play. He is Mr. Softy after all!
I really doubt a player like Bosh would accept it.. and even with that, he doesn't deserve to be coming off the bench. The Heat just have to find a way to get it together with 3 of their stars on the court at the same time.
all pride aside I would do it, as it would allow him to get a couple more touches to produce.
I agree, I think it makes sense. However his ego is too big and it would only cause issues.
I actually think you are right. I posted a thread a couple weeks back asking when and if people thought Bosh would be coming off the bench and the Heat would be starting Haslem. Since Haslems injury though, I think that is out of the question, though with a healthy roster I think that would actually work. The Heat could let LBJ take a breather when the second unit comes in because Bosh can lead an offence with the other Heat players setting up low and high post plays for him. It would work very well and since Haslem can move over to center for a spell, the Heat could have Bosh and Haslem both playing starting minutes, which I think would be ideal for them since Haslem is CLEARLY the better rebounder between the two and likely the best rebounder on the team. But, until Haslem is back in uniform, the Heat doesnt have too many options.
It's not a fair apples to apples comparison.
The Lakers have depth at other positions which makes Odom a luxury coming off of the bench. The Lakers also have the kind of smooth flowing chemistry that the Heat presently lack.
Finally, I don't know Bosh and have only seen him play a handful of times, but he doesn't strike me as the same type of selfless, intelligent (Basketball IQ-wise) versatile go-getter that LO is now. Bosh is still trying to figure out where he fits in the scheme of things. LO is smart enough to assess what his team needs and fills the void accordingly.
Personally, I think Bosh, Wade and LeBron should all be on the floor at the same time and expect each man to both sacrifice some of their game, but also play long minutes. Especially now, given the Heat injuries.
Bosh doesn't have the tangibles that make odom special.
dumb idea. First of all, Odom is only on the bench because Bynum has more size, plays better defense, and is actually a reliable scoring option. No big man on the heat has that combination of skills to force bosh to the bench. 2nd of all, the heat's frontcourt scoring is already crappy, so why would bosh be a 6th man? the starting frontcourt would be horrible. and like someone said before, his ego and diva personality probably wouldn't handle it well.
You should know. You have the King.
He has been putting 20 and 10 over the last few games so i wouldnt mess with it.
Nah Bosh is better served playing alongside Bron, besides talks of his struggles have been exaggerated, once he gets his rebounding up we're looking at a career year for him, atleast if he keeps this pace up.
So you created a duplicate account just to make this thread (another Heat hate thread in disguise)? Pathetic.
Completely different situation from the Lakers. The Lakers have a wealth of big guys, and with Bynum coming back, they could only start 2 of Lamar, Drew, and Pau. Lamar's skill set is more versatile than Bosh's, and better suited for coming off the bench because of the way he can distribute and handle the ball to lead a 2nd unit, especially one without a pass first point guard. Bosh needs to be scoring to be effective, while Odom's scoring comes and goes, he's always doing everything else, crashing glass, dishing, starting a fast break.
The Heat don't have many frontcourt options, so Bosh is in the starting 5 for good.
Check Odoms career and playoff stats against the Suns. Don't be mad because Dirk is ringless.

– Make your list. Make a note of all the attributes you would find important in a long-term or forever type relationship. Be sure to list more than just physical qualities like dark hair and full lips, the values that you find important such as; honesty, integrity, loyalty, and compassion, will play a much bigger role in the long-term success of your partnership.
– Check it twice. Before you start on your scavenger hunt for love, check the list once for yourself first. If there are areas that you find important in someone else think about if you have them. If you don’t, there is nothing wrong with taking some time to work on you.
– Pay close attention to who is naughty and who is nice. All too often when don’t stick to our list out of fear of rejection, (something), or maybe just a physical connection that we mistake for love but the whole time the alarms are going off inside us to run. Trust your gut here and know that when the time is right for you and that special someone it will work out.
Everything we are and everything we desire stands on the foundation of self-worth that we build from within. The value that we place on ourselves in the marketplace of life dictates the quality of relationships we will have, the pay that we will receive for our services, and resonates out to our family in friends in ways that will affect generations. It is for all of these reasons and more that we build that foundation strong and tall and lovingly reinforce it every day.
Recently my friends and I celebrated the life of an amazing woman who was truly an inspiration for us all and who so beautifully illustrated the importance of creating our personal value. The day my friend Jan realized how her low self-worth was allowing her abusive marriage to continue and how that relationship was affecting her children was the day that she said enough and left. She took her kids to a shelter and started over with the desire to always be treated the way she deserved.
While living her new, higher-valued life Jan gave back to others at every opportunity. Whether it was the Red Cross, YMCA, or abuse shelters, she was always showering others with love and telling them they were worthy of more.
Eventually she started her own organization that supported foster children who had been abused or neglected. Through dedicating her life to children who felt they had no hope she helped them realize they already possessed every ounce of worth and potential needed for beautiful, abundant lives. The legacy she leaves behind doesn’t just live on in the kids and young adults whose lives she touched but in their children and children’s children. By empowering just one person to a stronger sense of self-love you afford them the opportunity to change every life they touch.
Where does this change all truly start though? How do we break the cycle of bad jobs, bad relationships, and stop passing down a belief that lives that are beneath us are acceptable? By reclaiming and building our self-worth we free ourselves from the chains that hold us back from living with purpose and joy. The next step is demanding that value be honored in every aspect of our lives. By asking for what you are worth you teach others how to treat you and model to your kids the importance of valuing themselves.
To start the self-worth ball rolling take an inventory of your amazing, positive qualities.
What are your strengths? What are the personal qualities that define you?
What are some achievements you can look back on with pride to remind yourself of what you are capable of?
How did you feel when you achieved those things? Try to remember by putting yourself back in that place of accomplishment.
Another great tool I suggest using is to think of how your best friend would speak of you, if needed, ask them. We can all think of an endless amount of beautiful things to say about someone dear to us, start by giving yourself that same amount of love.
The most important thing of all though is to pick your moment to ask for what you’re worth. Whether it is in your relationships or your job, the day or minute you make the decision to say to the world, “I am good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, and deserving of everything I desire” is the day it will start coming your way. And it is the day you break the cycle for generations by inspiring others to start construction on the foundations of their beautiful lives.

You are here: Home » Environment » Who’s going to trust Environment Southland now?
In the farming community in recent times there might have been a few farmers that would have trusted Environment Southland. I wonder if they are still so trusting?
When you can’t trust those with “authority” – the rule makers! Who can you trust?
The councillors must have known what was going on. Or, if they didn’t then it’s more foool them and it is the councillors who are now sitting with a large pool of effluent “of their own making” sitting at their door.!
As a dairyfarmer if your worker spills effluent (no matter how minor) it is not usually that worker who is held accountable. It is the dairyfarmer himself.
There can not be different rules for those in authority.
So, if the staff at ES have gone awol it is the council who should stand up and be accountable.
That council needs to think where their future lies. I don’t think it is in Southland.

National Guard and Reserve members who receive discharges other than dishonorable are eligible for certain VA benefits. Length of service as well as duty status may determine if you are eligible for other VA benefits.
Active Duty (Title 10). This would mean full-time active duty in the Armed Forces, including unit deployment, “travel to and from such duty,” but does not include active duty for training.
Full-Time National Guard Duty (Title 31). Duty under Title 31 would be duty that you perform that makes you entitled to receive pay from the Federal government. Common examples include being called up to respond to a national emergency or duties as a member of the Active Duty Reserve.
It is important to note that State Active Duty (when a governor activates National Guard members in response to a natural disaster, for example) does not qualify as active service for purposes of receiving VA National Guard and Reserve member benefits.
Traditional National Guard or Reserve members typically only serve on active duty one weekend per month and two weeks per year. VA benefit eligibility for National Guard and Reserve members differs from that of Active Guard Reserve members.
Traditional National Guard or Reserve members can become eligible for certain VA benefits by fulfilling a service commitment. However, to be eligible for VA disability compensation, traditional National Guard or Reserve members must have a disability that resulted from an injury or disease that was incurred or aggravated in the line of duty during either active duty or active duty for training. To be eligible for disability compensation for a disability that occurred during inactive duty training, the disability must have resulted from an injury, heart attack, or stroke.
Veterans cannot receive VA disability compensation for injuries or conditions that occurred during State Active Duty (e.g. when the National Guard is called up by a state’s governor in response to a natural or man-made disaster).
Whether a disability occurred in the “line of duty” is an administrative determination made by the Reserve Unit or National Guard after an investigation. The determination states whether a soldier’s injury or disease occurred while on duty status.
Eligibility for VA healthcare based on Title 32 service depends on the veteran’s disability being incurred or aggravated during their Title 32 service. Otherwise, VA healthcare benefit eligibility depends on a number of factors such as income.
National Guard or Reserve members who served on active duty in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Operation New Dawn can receive enhanced eligibility to receive VA healthcare benefits if they enroll within 5 years of the date of their discharge or release from service.
VA home loans are essentially mortgages that are guaranteed by the federal government, and can help eligible service members and veterans buy a home or adapt one to their needs. National Guard and Reserve members can be eligible for VA home loans if they meet certain criteria.
“Were discharged or released from active duty for a service-connected disability.
There are several types of education benefits for which National Guard and Reserve members can be eligible, and each has different requirements and offers different benefits.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill offers up to 36 months of education benefits to those who are eligible, for programs ranging from flight training to undergraduate or graduate degrees.
The Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves (MGIB-SR) offers National Guard and Reserve members educational benefits up to $11,000 to help with costs of various education and training programs. Benefits under MGIB-SR benefits end for eligible members on the day they leave the Selected Reserve.
Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) is meant to give educational assistance to Reserve members who are called up or ordered to active duty in response to a war or national emergency as declared by Congress or the President.
This program was ended in November of 2015, however VA’s website notes that some members are still eligible for benefits under REAP until November 25, 2019. The Post-9/11 GI Bill largely replaced REAP.
The program no longer accepts new applicants. REAP recipients who were attending school and receiving benefits before November 2015 will still be able to receive REAP benefits until November 25, 2019.

We have talked with Vladimir Lazarević, the manager of the restaurant Klub Književnika, about the reasons Belgrade cannot do either without Bitef, or without Klub književnika, about hospitality business in Serbia, about the challenges of running restaurants, and about the restaurant which is, as the journalist Bogdan Tirnanić once said, an inevitable place on the map of Belgrade nightlife.
When on 9th June 1979 Klub književnika got closed, journalist Bogdan Tirnanić, one of the numerous people from the cultural milieu of that period whose life was intrinsically liked to this restaurant, said that a nuclear bomb fell on Belgrade nightlife. “When such a special place disappears, even temporarily, it leads to an essential change in the nature of our daily life which is, in terms of places to go out, so poor that it turns into a cultural problem”, Tirnanić said. How would you describe Belgrade nightlife today? What place does Klub književnika hold in it after so many years, and after all the changes that have happened in the country, in our way of life, on a social, political, cultural level?
KK is a restaurant which is not only that, but has turned into social, cultural, and even political segments of Belgrade life, thus still representing an important venue in Belgrade nightlife. Our dear Tirke was, therefore, right when he said that everything essentially changes when KK is not there.
For more than 70 years, KK has been a meeting point of people who enjoyed good atmosphere and the Belgrade cosmopolitan spirit. One of the proofs is that the organizers of all the cultural and social events in Belgrade always try to bring their guests to KK at least once, so they can see the special atmosphere in the famous Belgrade cellar. That is how it has been in the past 70 years, and that is how things, I believe, will remain in the future.
How challenging is it to keep in step with the times, while staying true to one’s initial mission?
Very. Today, when everything is progressing at warp speed, one has to keep in step with the times. Some of us are witnessing an unbelievably fast technological development in all areas, but as for me, I have realized that it is important to stay visible in social networks where we can inform our guests about the events in the restaurant. Moreover, the new technologies have made the work itself more efficient, which has led to the situation that the things which seemed like science fiction only a couple of years ago, have now become completely common. Naturally, none of that has prevented us from staying true to our original mission, which is presenting our city in the best possible light, and leaving a good impression on anyone who visits KK.
How would you define the restaurant mission today?
Exactly as it was defined by its founders. Friendly relationship with the guests, good food prepared with love, and that’s it. It might sound simple, but that is the essence of every restaurant.
What do you think are the good sides of hospitality business in Serbia, and which segments could be improved?
The good side is its diverse offer and its quality. You can enjoy oriental specialities and then order a dessert which represents classic French cuisine. I see that as the most important quality and it needs to be worked upon. Another thing that can be improved is the skill of the people in this business, since people are the most important factor in every business.
The restaurant Klub književnika is still a symbol of an authentic, intimate atmosphere which is appreciated by all your guests, but also symbolizes your attitude to them. What is necessary for a good communication which inspires loyalty?
Trust and mutual understanding. We have been conducting a survey among the guests, i.e. we have offered an opportunity to our guests to suggest and participate in the creation of the menu.
Unless I am mistaken, you have been in this business for over ten years. Which aspect of it do you find most fulfilling?
The people I meet, who share their life experience. A restaurant is a place where someone you meet for the first time can share a very interesting and wise story “about a friend”. There are not many places in Belgrade where you can exchange opinions with people who are renowned in what they do, like you can here.
Klub Književnika is one of the oldest partners of Bitef Festival. Why was Bitef chosen back then, and why is it still chosen now after so many years?
Which Bitef guests have you hosted that you remember most?
To be honest, I don’t remember the guests anymore… But the first person that comes to mind when we talk about Bitef is Mr. Jovan Ćirilov.
The performance you will not miss in this year’s programme?
Requiem for L. I have heard that it is a music performance, and that is what made me decide. Besides, I am curious to see how a performance will combine an intimate story about death with social and political issues, and the problems like chauvinism, right-wing movements, and authoritarian regimes. I believe in the choice of the selectors who have decided that this performance should close the festival.

In this episode, Joel got together with both Small Pour Sean and Craft Beer 007 in order to flood their systems with Mikkeller San Diego Beer Geek Vanilla Shakes along with some barrel-aged variants. Basically the liquid equivalent of binge-eating a quart of ice cream and half of a chocolate cake. Listen in as their blood sugar levels spike and taste buds are forever scarred.
Beer Geek Vanilla Shake – (batches 1 & 2) An Imperial Stout made with coffee and vanilla.
Beer Geek Maple Vanilla Shake – An Imperial Stout with coffee, vanilla and maple syrup.
Traeblod – An Imperial Stout with maple syrup.
Beer Geek Vanilla Shake aged in Bourbon Barrels – An Imperial Stout with coffee and vanilla aged in Bourbon barrels.
Beer Geek Vanilla Shake aged in Rum Barrels – An Imperial Stout with coffee and vanilla aged in rum barrels.
Check back for fresh episodes, both in video and audio podcast form. And stay tuned throughout the weeks for bonus episodes, tastings, blog posts and other fine, digital goods.
In this episode, Joel spent some time learning how best to describe the fleeting and enigmatic flavors hidden within the deep recesses of fine, high-quality beers. And who better to learn from than Untappd wordsmith Chris Byerly. Seriously, go read some of his descriptions of the beers he has tasted. They’re gold. Pure gold.
Beer Geek Maple Vanilla Shake – An Imperial Stout made with coffee, vanilla and maple syrup.
Stronger Than Fiction (2017) – A Strong Ale brewed with coconut and coffee and aged in a combination of Bourbon and Rum barrels.
For this episode, Joel enlisted the talents of his friend Robbie, who has a fairly selective palate and tends to use concise, superlative language to describe a beer he tastes. To that end, we lined up a small selection of hard-to-find beers (sometimes referred to as “whales” depending on the relative level of demand and rarity) and foisted them upon his tastebuds.
Farm to Face – An American Wild Ale originally brewed as a pale ale and then fermented for ten months in stainless tanks with Allagash’s house yeast. After primary fermentation, they add Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and a whole lot of peaches. For every gallon of beer they add three pounds of peaches from Applecrest Farm in New Hampshire.
KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) – An Imperial Stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year.
Power Smoove – An Imperial Stout brewed with blackberries and spices.
Rueuze (2012) – Terreux’s take on the traditional Belgian-style blend of lambics of different ages. They carefully select a number of oak barrels from their warehouse that have been aging our sour blonde ale for anywhere from several months to several years and blend the beers together to what they find to be the ideal flavor.
Space Cookie – A Double IPA brewed with Cookies, Milk Sugar, & Vanilla Beans.
Goodbye Tomorrow – An Imperial Honey Stout with Dates, Vanilla and Mostra Coffee.
Iridium Flare – A Strong Ale brewed with honey and marionberries and aged in bourbon barrels.
In this little bonus episode, Joel tested out some new gear at the preview tapping event for three of Abnormal Beer Co’s forthcoming bottle releases. Several familiar voices weighed in with their thoughts on the new beers.
Cafe Dino – An Imperial Milk Porter with Cinnamon, Espresso, & Blood Orange. Brewed for the 3rd Anniversary of Native Son Alehouse in Downtown Santa Ana, CA.
Makaveli – An Imperial stout made in collaboration with Mostra Coffee, with coconut, vanilla beans, and of course… coffee!
| COLLABORATION | A few months back we started talks with the @9fivers crew about possibly combining our talents and working together. Early next week we will be releasing our collaboration set that includes a custom pair of sunglasses, a custom beer glass and a bottle of “95 ‘Til Infinity” our first barrel aged release which was a 11% Imperial Stout aged in Rye Whiskey barrels for one year then treated with cacao nibs and cinnamon. This is the only way to get either the bottle or sunglasses and availability will be very limited. Official details of the release will be posted on Sunday.
95 ‘Til Infinity – An Imperial Stout aged in High West Rye Whiskey barrels for one year and treated with cassia (cinnamon) and Ghanaian cacao nibs. This will be the very first barrel-aged beer released in bottles by Abnormal Beer Co. Look for it soon!

History: First Issued: September 11, 2013.
1.1. This rule describes the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) subsequent appointment and promotion procedures and is supplemental to and consistent with NCSU POL05.20.01 – Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Permanent Tenure and NCSU REG05.20.34 – Non-Tenure Track Faculty Ranks and Appointments. DASA serves as the academic unit, led by the Vice Chancellor and Dean (VC/Dean), for purposes of subsequent appointment and promotion of non-tenure track faculty in the Division. DASA recognizes that the specific scholarly activities upon which faculty will be evaluated may vary within and across departments. The framing of discipline-specific standards for subsequent appointment and promotion is the responsibility of the departments and First Year College in DASA. The standards used to evaluate faculty members for subsequent appointment, promotion and comprehensive review reflect an expectation of high-level faculty performance in their respective disciplines.
1.2. DASA is a unique organization that integrates curricular and co-curricular components to improve the academic performance of our students and the quality of academic and non-academic experiences at NC State University. DASA is committed to providing our students the programs and services they need for optimal success (retention, timely graduation, educational and personal growth).
1.3. DASA was launched on July 1, 2012, the result of a merger of the Division of Student Affairs and the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs. Organizationally, DASA has four sub-divisions that represent the wide variety of initiatives, services and programs that serve students across the university. The Academic Programs and Services (APS) unit is the academic home for non-tenure track faculty and First Year College professionals.
2.1 N C State University specifies contributions in six Realms of Faculty Responsibility as the principal standards for decisions about faculty subsequent appointment and promotion. DASA recognizes the importance attached to these realms of responsibility. As a matter of principle, DASA leaves the determination of specific standards for contribution in these realms to departments, with the understanding that departments’ standards will reflect high performance in the area(s) of responsibility for which faculty are responsible (e.g., teaching; scholarship, research and creative activity; and service and engagement). The forms of scholarship expected from individual faculty members will be described in their Statement of Faculty Responsibility.
2.2 All faculty members must demonstrate that they are effective teachers and that they have made contributions in other areas as appropriate. It is important to understand that teaching includes activities and responsibilities beyond the classroom setting. These activities and responsibilities with students may include, but are not limited to, advising, mentoring, supervision, direction of papers and research and other contact and academic relationships outside the classroom.
2.3 DASA faculty may have responsibilities in other areas such as scholarship, service and engagement; activities relevant to these areas of responsibility may be prescribed in departmental rules.
4.1a The purpose of the college-level review by faculty is to assess subsequent appointment and promotion recommendations from academic departments or programs and to provide advice to the VC/Dean about whether departmental recommendations meet college expectations. In DASA, this role is carried out by a Division Promotion Committee. The Committee must provide a formal advisory vote and written assessment of each candidate for promotion in rank. This vote and written assessment are part of each candidate’s dossier as it moves forward to the dean and the university level. The VC/Dean will meet with the committee upon making a recommendation that differs from the voting faculty.
4.1. b The committee may also be asked to advise the VC/Dean on appointments of lecturers and promotions to senior lecturer within the First Year College.
4.1. c From a list of nominees including nominees suggested by the academic departments , the VC/Dean shall appoint a Division Promotion Committee comprised of five persons who are to serve on a two-year rotating basis.* The committee is to be comprised of tenured Professors working within DASA and, due to the limited number of tenured faculty in DASA, tenured faculty at the rank of Professor from allied departments outside DASA. DASA administrators at the Department Head level or above may not serve on the committee. The VC/Dean will appoint a committee chair from among the members.
4.2 Although the DASA faculty have their academic home in Academic Programs and Services, faculty in the departments of Music and Health and Exercise Studies also work in one of the other sub-divisions (either Arts NC State or Health Wellness and Student Development). The Vice Provosts for ARTS NC STATE and Student Development, Health, and Wellness shall be fully consulted in the development of the Statement of Faculty Responsibility (SMEs) for academic department heads whose service center is in either of those DASA subdivisions. SMEs for these department heads shall be submitted directly to the VP for Academic Programs and Services and then reviewed jointly with the appropriate VP for the service center before going to the VC/Dean for final review.
4.3 The VC/Dean may consult with the Vice Provost for Academic and Student Services and the Vice Provosts for the Arts and for Student Development, Health, and Wellness in the review of faculty within DASA when considering appointment and promotion in rank.
5.1.1 Full-time non-tenure track faculty with professorial rank are appointed with the expectation that they may be promoted to higher faculty ranks.
5.1.2 Part-time non-tenure track faculty who have the qualifications for rank described in Section 5 may be appointed with the appropriate professorial rank. Part-time faculty with professorial rank are not eligible for promotion.
5.1.3 Faculty who hold non-tenure track professorial rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor shall carry the modifier “Teaching,” which may only be used to modify professorial rank. Teaching faculty is a full-time (>.75 FTE) or part-time (<.75 FTE) contract with a principal responsibility in teaching.
In addition to qualifications required for academic rank, NC State has published guidelines for the credentials required for faculty teaching at all course levels. For faculty who teach, departments must have documentation that each faculty member is qualified to teach the course, either based on degrees attained or alternative credentials. For these guidelines and instructions on how to document credentials, see “Documenting Compliance with SACS and University Qualifications for Teaching Assignments” on the Office of the Provost website and NCSU REG 05.20.40 – Instructor Qualifications.
Initial contracts and subsequent contracts at the same rank are initiated by the head of an academic department based upon appropriate documentation prepared in accordance with university guidelines established by the Provost. Documentation shall be assembled by the Department Head in cases of initial contracts and by the candidate in consultation with the Department Head in cases of subsequent contracts. To receive a subsequent contract at a higher rank, the faculty member must have gone through the promotion process. Departmental criteria and standards as defined in their rules apply. See NCSU REG05.20.34 – Non-Tenure Track Faculty Ranks and Appointments.
University College does not require external evaluations for non-tenure track promotions to the rank of Teaching Assistant Professor and Teaching Associate Professor. External evaluations for non-tenure track teaching promotions are required only for promotion to the rank of Teaching Professor.
May 1: The Department Head notifies all faculty members of the procedures and schedule for review.
May 15: The Department Head meets with each candidate for promotion in rank to clarify the review process, criteria and required materials.
August 1: AVP for Administration and Curriculum submits the DASA RPT summary sheet to the provost’s office listing all candidates who wish to be considered for the promotion process.
September 15: Candidate completes dossier for review and submits to the Department Head.
November 1: Department head completes review and forwards recommendation to the Dean.
December 15: University College committee completes review, votes and submits recommendation to Dean.
