This may seem like a dumb question, but why is the water so brown looking just along the coast and in the canal area?
Not a dumb question. The water often turns brown after heavy rains and often during Spring runoff. The water clears up eventually, but, may stay that color for weeks at a time after heavy rains.

Tax season is here! If you own your own home, then make sure you are getting every deduction possible, which may make a difference in whether you can get a refund and how much. Here are some of the deductions homeowners can take advantage of.
The interest that you paid on your mortgage for the past year is tax deductible. The deduction also applies toward interest paid on a condo, mobile home, boat or RV used as a residence. Additionally, this can include a second mortgage, a home equity loan and a line of credit.
As the primary borrower, you can itemize the interest paid over the course of the year as long as your mortgage is secured by your main home or a second home. You can't deduct interest on a mortgage for a third home or fourth home.
If you are married and filing jointly, you can deduct all your interest payments up to $1 million in mortgage debt secured by a first or second home. If married and filing separately, the maximum is $500,000.
Just like mortgage interest is tax deductible, so are points that are paid to lower the interest rate. If you purchased points as a way to lower your interest rate, you may be able to deduct these points come tax time.
Points that were purchased for refinancing a mortgage can also be deductible, but only over the life of the loan, not all at once. Homeowners who refinance can write off the balance of the old points and begin to amortize the new points.
Substantially adds to the value, or appreciably prolongs the useful life of the property.
It becomes part of the property or is permanently affixed to the property so that removal would cause material damage to the property.
It is intended to become a permanent installation.
An example of a capital improvement that qualifies for the tax deduction would be adding a new roof, swimming pool, porch or heating and cooling system to the home.
The city and state property taxes you pay annually are fully deductible from your income. If you have a mortgage with an escrow account, the amount of real estate property taxes you paid shows up on your annual escrow statement.
If you purchased your home in 2016, check your HUD-1 settlement statement to see if you paid any property taxes when you closed the purchase of your home.
You may be able to deduct some of your moving costs if you moved because you changed jobs. There are several requirements that must be met to qualify for this deduction, including that your new workplace be at least 50 miles farther from your old home than your old job was from your old home.
Deductions related to moving costs could include travel or transportation costs, expenses for lodging, and fees for storing your household goods.
Disclaimer: American Pacific Mortgage are not tax professionals. Please contact your tax prepared for additional information.

How could this happen? Well according to sources there is an issue with heat sensitive paper. I was reading an article by AP on the Idaho Statesman website, and it said the old disappearing ink routine apparently caused by faulty heat-sensitive paper.
Don't worry if this happens to you as you can get a replacement for free, now if you don't catch it before you go hunting and have to notch your tag I am not sure exactly what the protocol would be there. It's obviously more prone to disappearing if they are kept in warm places. Most of the time that may be the case so check tags and licenses just to be safe.

Agile Planning: What? How Do I Know What I Will Be Working On During The Sprint?
I have heard of many groups that will finish Sprint planning by taking all tasks committed to by the team for the sprint, and assigning them out to each team member. Teams I have been part of have tried this (especially the first few sprints when new to Agile planning) as it felt like the logic last step of planning. How else is a team member to know what they would be working on over the next two weeks (or whatever sprint timeframe was chosen)?
Best Practice: Don’t allocate all Sprint backlog tasks to individual team members at end of Sprint planning meeting, but rather have team members pick tasks from the Sprint backlog as they come to the point of needing more work during the Sprint.
How will we be sure that the ‘right’ people do the ‘right’ tasks?
Aren’t there specific tasks that only the ‘experts’ on the team should do?
What about situations where someone has specialized knowledge regarding a specific task or set of tasks?
Who do we look to for assurance each task will get completed?
Doesn’t this open up opportunities for some team members to slack since they aren’t individually responsible for specific tasks?
Based on my experience, and that of others I have spoken with, many of these questions are more pertaining to the cultural shift from traditional Project Manager led teams, to self organizing Agile teams. Though you may have the fear that some people might slack, or tasks might not get completed during the sprint because they isn’t a single person responsible for each task, the actual opposite happens. By leaving the tasks in the sprint backlog to be picked from as the need for more work arises, the team collectively takes on the responsibility to complete all tasks, instead of just ‘my’ tasks in the other scenario. This has proven to be a much more efficient way to enable the team to ensure they complete the sprint goals and do it in highest priority order. Also, the daily standup meetings help ensure all team members are ‘pulling their weight’, as there simply is no way to hide if you are updating your team members each day regarding task execution/completion.
Certainly there are tasks that naturally go to certain team members based on their past experience/etc. But more often than not, the team members know of these situations too, and therefore it works out just fine and in those rare instances that it doesn’t, the team works out the situation as it’s identified and grows from the experience.
To ensure we consciously search for situations that could get us in trouble task allocation wise, teams I have been on have gotten into the habit of asking at the end of Sprint planning: “Are there any tasks in this Sprint that someone feels they MUST specifically work on?” Very rarely do we identify such tasks. When we do, we discuss as a team the reasons and decide if the task should go to that person right there. Otherwise, once the planning meeting is over, each team member selects a task (from their desk) they can ‘Race to Done’ on, and enlist the help of others on the team if they need such help.
For those people that work best ‘last minute’ and feel the need to have a large task list assigned to them, they can simply shift their focus from an individual work queue to the team queue and race to done.
The team can use the Sprint Burn down chart to measure how well they are doing completing the Sprint tasks/goals and adjust accordingly if the slope of the Burn down is showing Sprint goals won’t be completed.
Use of the Burn down chart enables the team as a whole to measure progress and adjust as whole while the Sprint is progressing. This in conjunction with the Daily Standups keeping communication open and bringing issues out quickly, really does work well and eliminates the need to assign all Sprint tasks at the beginning of the Sprint.

I get mail on a regular basis from college students that have been burned by Delta Career Education Corp, who runs ACR. In Ohio alone, there are at the moment 291 schools registered with the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges, up from 279 in 2007. The Board accepts the promise that the middle of the varsity curriculum is the kid and that the instructional program should be tailor-made to suit a child improvement pattern of education. As an elected official (College Board Trustee) the one personal use of e-mail is for household and personal business communications. I imagine in vocational type education and all I am looking for is a few regulation, proper disclosures and value for the student’s (and the taxpayer’s) dollar. The Board of Education (continuously referred to as the Board”) is a authorized body created by the statutes of the State of Wisconsin.
Mayor @BilldeBlasio : Schools are open tomorrow, however after college actions canceled. Online schools also can provide assist to conventional schools, as in the case of the School Net Namibia Some online lessons additionally provide experience in a category, in order that when people take them, they have already been introduced to the subject and know what to expect, and even more classes present Excessive Faculty/School credit score permitting people to take the lessons at their own pace.
In a non-public room on the Mansion on Delaware, some of the metropolis’s most influential enterprise leaders held court with State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia and Buffalo Schools Superintendent Kriner Money. Some private schools would attempt for excellence, whereas others may do it for the only objective of getting butts within the seats, and making a profit off tuition, and what other money they will get from corporate of government funding. Skidmore School is a non-public, independent, liberal arts faculty located in Saratoga Springs, New York.
I certainly agree with you that the one view excluded from public schools is the Judeo-Christian, which made our nation what it is. That’s ridiculous. Wayne Brown— You are welcome, WB. One problem is the federalizing of education, which takes management of schools away from native communities.
We stay at Brookefields, and I’m not very inclined to ship my son prime distant schools until the coching there may be really worth the journey effort. I want to know if there are any Good schools in that space.I’ve heard that DPS is an effective school!! She put her son in Kumaran’s which is poles aside from Valley in terms of the ambiance the two schools seek to create for the children. He made a superb level that Japanese schools don’t pay homage to God, however they are regarded as far superior than American schools. The bottomline is that the majority schools provide a rigorous education however no one faculty is a ticket to educational glory or parental consolation.

UNDER OCTOBER'S MAGICAL SPELL, BARN CHICKS PARTY!
Hey Friends, Welcome to the Barn party!! So glad to have you here today. My dear friend Julie Marie, from Idyllhours is guest hostess for this Special BARN CHICKS PARTY which she has entitled "UNDER OCTOBER"S MAGICAL SPELL." We are visiting Barns in the Autumn air and all things Fall including some harvest decor, recipes, a few paintings I have created over the years and just plain country Fall fun! Take a moment and stop by Julie Marie's wonderful blog to visit her party as well as her list of all those participating today. She is also having a party giveaway when you leave a comment, so have fun on your visit and the chance to win. You will enjoy the many parties and surely receive inspiration for this wonderful time of the year.
As you know, this blog of mine lives in Texas and from here we will take a little tour of barns in my area, Texas Style!! Now keep in mind, my once only countryside town, has now given way to a place more citified since our residence many years ago. So I had to go a close by mile and a half north and south to find a few gorgeous Texas barns. Most are taken from the road since they are private with no access to enter, but none the less, I think I have a few to share. Remember you can click to enlarge any picture for a better view.
So let's start our caravan to the barns and later return back here for some refreshments and a view of some Autumn decor.
I love old red barns and this one was a true charmer. Inspiration to paint sometime.
Oh look, we are met by some beautiful horses and old farming equipment. Love that the old equipment has a new life as countryside decor. You see, I view every space as a surface to display!
Let's stop to say hello to a couple more gorgeous horses. They wonder what we are doing? Viewing barns I told them. They gave a nod and a nay, happy to hear we are admiring their wonderful barn homes.
Oh look at our little ponies off in the distance unaware of our camera. So sweet enjoying the cooler Autumn weather.
Now as we round the bend to head back to my cottage for party pie and tea, it is beginning to cloud up. But hey, looks like our town pumpkin patch is starting to set out all the wonderful orange beauties for friends to enjoy, purchase and take pictures with family and friends. Looks like they are covering them with blue tarps since it looks like rain. Let's stop for a minute. I will have to come back in a couple weeks for more pictures when everything is set up. It is an amazing place and fun for young and old alike.
As we head back to my cottage, we are greeted by my bird house barn for my birdie friends. They like to decorate their home too.
How about those refreshments now? Have you worked up an appetite for my apple pie? Oh it's fresh from the oven. Grab a plate and I'll slice you a generous piece of pie!
Would you like a cup of acorn tea to go with your pie? Not sure there is such a thing as acorn tea, but hey, it's fun to name it that, after all, we are UNDER OCTOBER'S MAGICAL SPELL!
Sit for awhile at my table. I have a centerpiece made using my large rooster bowl filled with harvest finds and a fresh scented Fall candle. More pie anyone?
While we visit awhile and talk about the beautiful barns we have viewed on the tour, my scarecrows would like to say hello. They sit here and there among my Fall decor and pumpkins.
These next three are paintings I've done many years ago inspired from studies I have done with favorite artists over the years.
Well, this just about ends our barn chick party for today. But before we part, and you go off to visit HERE at Julie Marie's, I will share a painting I did for my B~Guy many years ago also completed from a study with one of my favorite barn artists. It is painted on a vintage saw of my dad's. My guy displays it on his work bench in the garage. Got to decorate there too, right?
Lastly, I completed this painting, inspired from another favorite study in Seasons from Pumpkin Ridge, just this week. It is a wall hanging on a metal canvas display piece. This piece will find it's way to my shoppe soon.
Thank you for coming to the party as I surely enjoyed your visit, time together touring and snacking on apple pie. Please come again to visit anytime. Your presence here and kind comments are so appreciated.
I also want to give a big Thank You to my friend Julie Marie for all she has done to host this wonderful party. It is always a lot of work to set up and she has done a wonderful job. Big hugs of thanks my friend. You are the true Barn Chick and I continue to be inspired by you and the wonderful place you call home.
Best wishes to you all for a wonderful Fall season with Blessings galore and many memories made with family and friends. As a parting gift I send you off with a pot of Fall Mums.
Now, let's go to another party!
Loved it all-the tour, the refreshments and the decor-great party to had!
Oooh Celeste! I am speechless... your Barn Chicks post is absolutely beautiful! Where to start...All of the barns by your home are wonderful! I could never pick a favorite, I love the crisp white one with the white fence, and I really love the white and black one with the black gate and windmill, that may be my favorite! But, my favorite may be the one with the beautiful arch in front of it... you have captured them all so perfectly! The photo of the two horses looks like it should be a painting! Your pumpkin patch looks like it is huge and would be so much fun picking out pumpkins! I love seeing all of your Fall decor at your home... the apple pie is delish, thanks! And yes, I shall have another piece, please! Acorn tea! How fun!... you really have got me "Under October's Magical Spell"... what could be better than a cup of acorn tea in your pretty Blue Willow teacup poured from your darling little pumpkin teapot! Your scarecrow paintings are just adorable too! And I am sure your Best Guy treasures the beautiful saw you painted for him with the barn... your latest painting is just incredible my friend...thanks for joining the party and making it so much fun! You are just the sweetest lady and so creative... now I must go back and look at everything again, I don't want to miss one magical thing! Love to you... xoxo Julie Marie PS That little birdhouse is darling!!!
You are so talented and an inspiration to me to practice more and increase me skill level. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments on my pumpkin. I used mdf board. It is like chip board but bigger. It comes in 4'x2' planks and I have them cut in half. Quite a few artists use them as they are so economical and they can cut them down to whatever size and shape they need. You can get them at home improvement stores.
What a fun party! I so enjoyed our pretty TX barns and especially the beautiful horses! Your scarecrows and pumpkins are just too cute for words!
G'eve Celeste ~ What a charming array of countryside, barns & horses to enjoy. Your artwork is over the moon, exquisite ... I so love my barn you painted for me on that pumpkin.
You have a real eye for capturing both in pictures & your art the heart & soul of each creation.
So enjoyed the visit, everything was deelish, warming & BOO-TEA-FUL!
PS I just did a post for PS on your creations today.
Enjoyed the whole tour and your paintings as well.
Beautiful post Celest........I love Texas and all those barns and ranches.....I also must tell you that the saw you painted is so very wonderful and thoughtful.....what a perfect gift for your special guy.
What a great tour of barns and the Texas countryside! Your apple pie was delicious and calorie free, cant ask for more than that!! Love the saw you painted... Gorgeous!
Big hugs to you and Larry!!
Thank you for the great tour. The refreshments were wonderful. I am going to brew up some acorn tea myself when I get home.
Your paintings are delightful and I intend to return and view more.
You are a wonderful hostess and I had the best time.
Hello! that post so nice. I loved the tour of these beautiful farms, and jobs are precious. Welcome Fall!!
A hug and a great weekend, Laura.
I too love barns. When I was younger I wanted to buy one and turn it into a home.
I love the saw. I have never seen anyone paint on one till I saw one in my neighbors kitchen years ago. They are just beautiful and so is yours.
Loved the barn tour! (And especially the apple pie!) Your horse photos are wonderful. I found a few curious mares on my barn adventure too, along with a lot of not-so-interested cows. :) They didn't seem to mind my snooping as much! Happy Autumn!
That was a lovely barn tour! Very industrious people in your area. Love the country life with horses anyway.
Enjoy your tea with apple pie!
I have really enjoyed the barn tour and the beautiful countryside.
Love the acorn tea too! Yummy. Made me feel like a squirrel! LOL!
The apple pie was really good too. I also enjoyed meeting the scarecrows and seeing the little birdhouse.
The painting on the saw is awesome and no wonder your hubs displays it proudly.
I thoroughly enjoyed your barn party! It was fun and beautiful! I especially enjoyed that pumpkin with the barn painted in the very first photo! It's just gorgeous! Did you paint that? You're amazing! I would love something like that from you sometime! I'll have to email you about the prices. I can't get over your amazing talent! WOW! I would set my tatted fall leaves around that!
Well, what I enjoyed most of all was you visit to my blog today to see my antique tatting shuttle collection! Thank you so much, my dear friend! I promise I will not spend so much time away from blogland again!
That was such a fun post to read and go along with you on your barn tour! I have to say I was quite taken with the white barns though, and it looked there was a lovely grey one too. But my favourite are the very old ones around here where the paint is all but gone and the wood is weathered beautifully. And now you have me hungering for pie! Thanks Celestina, for such a nice visit!
The barns, pumpkins, and scarecrows you painted are nothing less than adorable! They are too cute!
The barns and scenery in your area reminded me of the scenery in the new movie Secretariat. Great movie. The pictures you took are wonderful.

Simply Centers: Make Your Transitions Easier to Increase Engagement During Your Center Time!
Make Your Transitions Easier to Increase Engagement During Your Center Time!
When I first started teaching, transitions were probably the single most difficult thing, and I avoided them at all costs. I would cringe when I forgot to tell my kids to grab something at their desk, and I would dread having my kids move to another area. I avoided transitions because I just didn't have much in my bag of tricks to make them run as smoothly as they should. Fast-forward three years later, and I have so many tricks up my sleeve I could write a book solely on transitions. I thought I would share some of my most effective tricks for transitions.
1. Get yourself a timer. This does two things: It holds the kids accountable, and it holds you accountable. It will be your best friend and your worst enemy. However, it really trains the kids (and you) to be aware of what a given amount of time feels like. Now, to be successful with a timer, you need to let your kids know what the incentive is if they can accomplish something within your time frame. You also need to let them know what the consequence is if they do not accomplish something in the time frame you gave them. If the younger kids do not understand time yet, I always have them count up or count down with me. It is a great way to integrate math and number sense while transitioning.
2. Sing! If you have any concepts you are working on such as skip-counting, math facts, spelling words, etc., sing! If you do not have a song, make it up! Kids love singing. Just make sure it is not a super long song or you will get a super long transition.
3. Assign a Secret Superhero. Do not tell the class who it is until the transition is over. Be sure to go over expectations before you allow the kids to transition. After you are done, let the class know who the Secret Superhero was and why. You could shower them with praise, and or give them a tangible incentive. If they did not have Superhero behavior, I kindly let them know why, and I make it a learning experience.
4. Tell the class you really need their help. Tell them you trust them and give them their steps for the transition. You will be so surprised by the way they respond when they know they have your trust. They will not want to let you down. I want to express that you should not use this transition all the time, because the novelty wears off quickly as with anything. This should be a special transition used carefully at your discretion. I usually use this type of trick two or three times a week.
3. Walk quietly to your spot in line.
You could easily add more steps to this once they grasp the concept.
6. Like the previous trick, I will ask my students to put their fist in the air. I then tell them to put a finger up and I will say the first step. Then, I ask them to put their second finger up, and I give them the second step, and so on. Then I have them tell their partner the steps, so they really have to tune into what I just said. This is also a great way to integrate those listening skills with your students.
7. Before I let my kids transition they can not go until I am finished with my directions. If you let the kids start standing up and start to where they are going, they are not listening to you. I have to say "you may go," before they can move. This does take training and you have to make sure you set that expectation of hearing "you may go." Sometimes I forget to say it and my kids are still sitting there on the floor, and some just assume I forgot and they start to get up. If the transition is awful, it is completely my fault. They will not be as successful if you forget, so try to use a magic word or phrase each time you send them off.
9. When kids go back to their table, have them get their materials out, and when they are finished, have them put their heads down on the table. This helps them to refocus and it minimizes talking because it slightly closes their diaphragm. Should the kids have their heads down for every transition? No. Can you use this once in a while? Absolutely. I usually do this one at the end of the day, and I allow them to lay their head on their hands and read a book if they wish. I do this because it is really important I get the kids packed up and out the door and I can see if they have their head down, they are telling me they are ready. If they have their head down, and they are not ready, I can easily correct them.
10. Establish good routines and solid classroom management. This one does not happen overnight, and for me, it did not happen until the second half of my first year. Your transitions are not going to get better until you tighten up your routines in other areas. Be sure the kids know what their job is. Have a system for behavior. Have routines for getting materials and moving centers. If you don't have a routine, make it up! If you make it up on the spot, and it doesn't work, just change it later!
One rule I live by is "Fake it 'till you make it." Just get really good at faking it. I promise if you do what you can to prepare yourself, and fake the rest, you are one step in the right direction. And yes, I still fake it.
Remember, it takes time and routine to make your transitions faster. Do not expect perfect right away, be patient. Once I accepted that I was the common denominator of successful or unsuccessful transitions, my transitions slowly improved. I stopped blaming the kids, and worked on my own bag of tricks. Did each one work the first time? No. Is there one trick you can use all year? No. Kids love the novelty, so keep them on their toes, and you will learn that successful transitions are all about patience and persistence. Do not let up. Ever. Give them the structure and expect smooth transitions until the very last day of school.
Comment with any great transition tricks you use! I would love to add more to my bag of tricks!

Playwright J. Stephen Brantley's gave Theaterspeak the first look at some new pics of his sizzling new play Eightythree Down (directed by Daniel Talbott) now playing at Under St. Marks.
It’s New Year’s Eve 1983 and Martin’s plan for a quiet night in his parents’ basement is thrown into chaos when his old friend Dina and her hooligan roommates arrive with a gun, a bag of stolen books, and a dangerous idea.
You can see we need you. I need you. It’s nearly midnight and I’ve no one to kiss. Be a shame to waste the moment, a couple of blokes like us.
I’m not doing anything, am I.
You don’t work, fuckers like you. The whole world works around you. Building your tennis courts. Cleaning your toilets. Repairing your stereos and installing your cable and stuffing your Care Bears and you don’t even notice. You contribute nothing. You have no craft. I hate people who have no craft.
We’re all insane, really. It’s just a matter of perspective. If you were to suggest I spend the rest of my life in somebody’s basement reading books about birds, I’d say that’s totally raving crazy. Most people would.
Well, how do you know you won’t be dead tomorrow, scooby-doo? What if tonight is the rest of your life?

COLUMBUS — The 2017 Trillium Cup will have to wait until the third and final match on May 26 to be decided. Columbus Crew SC fell at home, 2-1, to Toronto FC on Wednesday night even after superior play early in the match and on the stat sheet.
Federico Higuain pushed the Black & Gold ahead with a chipped penalty kick in the 28th minute after Ola Kamara was dragged down inside the box. Higuain’s 43rd career goal as a member of Crew SC gave him sole possession of fourth place all-time for the Club, breaking a tie with Edson Buddle.
Columbus’ defense was also on display during the match. Goalkeeper Zack Steffen caused the stands of MAPFRE Stadium to erupt in the 38th minute when he made a diving save to prevent a penalty kick goal by Toronto forward Jozy Altidore.
The equalizer was scored by Toronto on a header by Tosaint Ricketts in the 81st minute. Ricketts was assisted on a cross by Raheem Edwards. Victor Vazquez was also awarded a secondary assist on the score after his ball to Edwards.
The three Toronto attackers continued their pressure shortly thereafter when they netted another in the 90th minute. Ricketts was again on the receiving end, but this time primarily from Vazquez on a long cross that eluded Crew SC defenders.
Wednesday marked the 30th all-time match between Crew SC (5-5-1, 16 points) and Toronto (6-1-4, 22 points). Columbus leads the series by a record of 13-7-10.
Despite the loss, The Black & Gold outshot Toronto 18-9 and had more shots on target by a margin of 6-3. Crew SC also led in corners taken (10-1) and crosses (27-5).
Wednesday’s contest came in the middle of a whirlwind slate for Crew SC that includes seven matches between May 6 and June 3.
Both defender Waylon Francis and midfielder Hector Jimenez appeared in their 75th career regular season match for Crew SC on Wednesday night. Francis started the match and Jimenez entered as a substitution for Josh Williams in the 66th minute.
Toronto FC star Jozy Altidore was held scoreless on three shots in the match, along with Steffen’s big penalty-kick save against the U.S. Men's National teamer. Altidore entered the match tied for third place in the 2017 Golden Boot race with six goals on the season.
Columbus Crew SC returns to action on the road against the Montreal Impact on Saturday, March 13 at 5 p.m. ET.
The Black & Gold return home to MAPFRE Stadium for a match against Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Meal & Rest break obligations are areas where employers often get into trouble. Meal & Rest break class actions are some of the most expensive forms of litigation in California for employers. On May 8, 2018, the court in Ibarra v. Wells Fargo Bank entered an order awarding Plaintiffs who filed a class action against the bank $97.2 million for rest break violations. The original complaint alleged various wage and hour violations, and after the parties filed cross motions for summary judgment, all but the rest break claims were dismissed. The claims were brought under Labor Code section 226.7 and derivative claims under California's Unfair Competition Law (Business & Professions Code section 17200). California labor laws are some of the strictest in the nation and employers and businesses need to know where their exposure lies in order to avoid costly errors.
California labor laws are very strict and businesses that violate them are subject to paying back wages with interest and a considerable number of penalties. To avoid substantial payments of penalties and possibly other sanctions, businesses and employers should be well-versed in the requirements for businesses under the California labor codes.
All industries and businesses that have employees and are subject to the California Labor Codes.
The California rules regarding meal and rest break periods are numerous and complex. In California, the industrial welfare commission wage orders require that employers must authorize and permit nonexempt employees to take a rest period that must, insofar as practicable, be taken in the middle of each work period. The rest period is based on the total hours worked daily and must be at the minimum rate of a net ten consecutive minutes for each four hour work period, or major fraction thereof. The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) considers anything more than two hours to be a "major fraction" of four. A rest period is not required for employees whose total daily work time is less than three and one-half hours. Because these rules are complicated and California treats any infraction of the rules as an intentional violation, its incumbent upon the employer to make sure it is familiar with and complies with all of the rules in California.

This page is about the San Diego punk rock band Rocket from the Crypt. For the Cleveland protopunk band, see Rocket from the Tombs.
Rocket from the Crypt is an American rock band from San Diego, California, originally active from 1989 to 2005, then active during 2011 and again from 2013 to the present.
The band gained critical praise and the attention of major record labels after the release of their 1992 album Circa: Now!, leading to a recording contract with Interscope Records. They experienced a surge of popularity with the release of the albums Scream, Dracula, Scream! (1995) and RFTC (1998), accompanied by numerous vinyl singles and EPs released on independent labels. However, album sales were not as high as expected and Interscope soon turned their attention to higher-grossing acts. The band left the label, and shortly thereafter drummer Atom Willard departed the group.
After a period of inactivity in 1999 and 2000, during which Reis formed Hot Snakes and Sultans and launched his Swami Records label, the band signed to Vagrant Records and recruited new drummer Ruby Mars. They experienced a revitalization of creative energy and released two more albums, but were not as prolific as in the past.
Over the next few years the band members became increasingly involved with other projects and Rocket from the Crypt became less of a focus. They decided to disband in 2005, playing a sold-out farewell show on Halloween in their hometown of San Diego.
The band reunited in 2011 for a one-off appearance on the television program Yo Gabba Gabba!, and in 2013 reformed once more for a series of performances in the US, Europe and Australia.

Leave it to the EPA to decide how long is “too long” for a person to take a shower. Unless you’re one of those people who takes a shower once a month whether you need to or not, the EPA thinks you should cut down your shower time by at least a minute. Apparently, this is such a big deal that they’ve done studies to find out how long the average shower is. It’s 8.2 minutes. So, they don’t want anyone taking any showers longer than 7 minutes. Any longer, and you’d be wasting water.
“This technology will provide hotel guests with the ability to monitor their daily water online or using a smartphone app and will assist hotel guest in modifying their behavior to help conserve water,” the grant said.
The program also encourages “linen and towel reuse programs” in guest rooms.
“Initially our device/app seeks to get hotel guests to reduce their water use by 10 percent or to reduce their showers by about one minute,” he said.
Eventually, they’ll just ban showers. They’ll consider them “unsustainable;” needless luxuries.
And what’s with those low-flow toilets and showerheads with flow restrictors? With the low-flow toilets, you end up having to flush multiple times anyway, so they don’t seem to really save on water usage. And those flow restrictors in showerheads only make you feel like you need to take a longer shower. Or take the stupid restrictor out.
I’m all for being good stewards of our resources, but this has gone way too far. What’s next? A mandatory device attached to toilets that tests our waste to make sure it’s EPA-compliant, and that our diets are USDA-approved?

As a leader one thing you will constantly find yourself doing is meeting new people. It’s these people who will expose you to new ideas, new concepts, new products, new organisations, potential new partnerships, and in turn other new people. So for you to avoid stagnation, and open up new possibilities, you constantly need to be meeting new people.
Research their organisation. So much time (and embarrassment) can be saved through doing a bit of homework before the meeting. If you’re meeting someone from a particular organisation or project, spend 10 minutes looking up that project online before you see them. This has two obvious benefits. First, it saves you some time when you’re together, since they don’t need to explain the basics of what they’re doing. Second, it helps you make a good impression. If they see you have taken the time to learn something about their work, they’ll be more likely to want to partner with you on anything that comes out of your time together.
Research them. This one is not always possible, and I’m not advocating stalking here, but again a little bit of research can make a lot of difference. Generally speaking, the higher the profile of the person you are meeting, the more info you will be able to find, but it’s worth spending another 10 minutes on a quick Google search. Do they have a personal website, or a blog, or a twitter account? Learn a bit more about them, find out if you have anything in common, and what your shared passions are. Again, the fact you have taken the time to be interested can speak volumes to the person.
Have an agenda of what you want from the meeting. This doesn’t need to be a huge list of outcomes, but just one or two things of why you are meeting. The agenda could be just to get to know them, or to learn more about a specific project they are working on, or to share something you are involved with, and then get their opinion on it. Whatever it is, go in with some form of agenda so you know why you are meeting.
I’ve found these three simple things to be a great help in ensuring I’m not wasting my time or theirs when I’m first meeting people. And one more thing – turn your phone off (or on silent) before you knock on the door/ go into their office. It’s never a good first impression when you’re fiddling with your phone at the same time as shaking someone’s hand!

More than 3 million refugees live in North America.* These people, who come from dozens of ethnic groups living primarily in Asia and Africa, have fled war and oppression in their homelands and found asylum in North America. Many of these refugees come from countries that are currently closed to the gospel. The Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help fund outreach, translate materials, train lay leaders, and plant churches among the oppressed who have sought refuge in North America.
Some of the refugee communities that will benefit from this offering are the Karen people (from Myanmar, Lao (Laos), Hmong (Southeast Asia), Mienh (Laos), Vietnamese (Vietnam), Bhutanese (Bhutan), Chinese (China) and Africans from Somalia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Rwanda, Burundi, and several other African nations. Some of the greatest needs are Bibles and literature in these people's mother language, audio-visual outreach materials for those whose culture is largely oral rather than written, training for lay leaders of refugee congregations, seminars for children of refugees including Kids in Discipleship and coping with trauma and grief.
Native Americans have not been treated kindly by the Christian community; many have developed distrust and resist the gospel message. The Adventist Church has ministries among several Native American communities, but the work is difficult and slow. A church plant is being established in Page, Arizona. They need lay workers who can help them respond to the flood of Bible-study requests they've received. But most of all they need a worship center in which to meet. The town of Page is a tourist center, and property costs are high. Part of NAD's Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help purchase land or a church building in which to worship and pay modest stipends to Bible workers to help plant the seeds for a strong and flourishing church among the original settlers in North America.
Thank you for your part in helping to reach North America's oldest and newest citizens for Christ.


text: The experiment was carried out in Slovenia in 2002-03 and 2004-05. The experimental design was a randomized completed block, with four replicates. In the summer after pea harvesting, 10, 20 and 30 kg of Italian ryegrass ha-1 were drilled into minimally cultivated pea stubble, in which, on average, 12.5 pea grains m-2 were left among crop residues. The ryegrass/pea mixtures in our experiments took up the soil mineral nitrogen the most efficiently and accumulated the highest amount of nitrogen in the autumn herbage yield, at a seeding rate of 30 kg drilled Italian ryegrass. The differences among treatments regarding 0–60 cm soil NO3-N and NH4-N contents were highest at the first cut and decreased until March of the next year. In order to achieve efficient early and high N uptake of mineralized nitrogen, it is not recommended to lower the sowing rates of Italian ryegrass for drilling into pea stubble to reduce the high cost of catch crop seeds.

Among the Military Medals gazetted this week is one to WR/250750 Cpl Herbert Frederick Maxim, 111th Railway Construction Company, Royal Engineers, of Chiltern Green.
The Military Medal is awarded to him for distinguished service on August 8th, 1918, in assisting to unload an ammunition train which was on fire.
The Company to which Cpl Maxim was attached were then on the Bethune front and, to the personal knowledge of a member of the Luton News staff, he rendered invaluable service to the Army in that area in maintaining communications in a very critical time when railways were being shelled and bombed day and night.
Suffolk-born Cpl Maxim enlisted in the RE Railway Troops in November 1914. He had previously been employed as a railway platelayer. He died in East Hyde in 1932 at the age of 46.

Who Knew August 8 Is Such a Special Day?
Yup, August 8 is one special day. Who knew this day has been designated as "Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day?" Not me. But boy am I grateful for this timely designation.
I naively planted three starts in May (yeh, yeh, I know now that one would have been more than enough). And now come August I've got zucchini coming out my ears. If you're a gardener, you can relate-either because you're smarter than me and dodged this predicament, or you're suffering the same fate right along with me.
Fact of the matter, a small row of zucchini has the potential to end world hunger. So when August arrives, we gardeners are reaping far more zucchini than we can possibly use. We shred it like crazy and make bread, cookies and cake. We slice it and add it to our stir fries. We dice it and add it to salads. We steam it and top rice with it. We chop it and add it to soups, stews, and casseroles. We hollow the biggies out and let the kids and grandkids use them as boats in the wading pool. Sheesh-we're doing the best we can here.
Still, the fruit matures on the vine faster than anyone can even pick it. We zucchini growers become desperate, so what do we do? Try to give it away, of course-family, friends, even strangers as they enter the post office or grocery store-anyone and everyone is fair game. So by August, even non-gardeners have had enough of the stuff. And the result? Everyone avoids us. It's really sad.
Now before I head down the street with my wheelbarrow full of zucchini, I should say that I haven't been able to track down the creator or the origin of this day. But as a gardener, I can sure understand why someone proclaimed a day in August to creatively distribute the bountiful zucchini harvest. But I'll keep looking, and when I find this guy or gal, they're getting a big hug (and some zucchini bread) from me!
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place zucchini in strainer; sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze out moisture. Combine zucchini with the eggs, Parmesan, and half of the mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses. Press into greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add tomato sauce; spoon over zucchini mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; add bell pepper and olives. Bake 20 minutes longer or until heated through.

Custom built to order, ships 3 weeks from paid order.
The Studio Gainclone LM3875 Mono Block Chip Amplifiers Pair by Dalaudio exceeds 50 watts per channel, and delivers clean detailed sound for your critical listening pleasure. Inspired by the sound quality of amps costing five times as much, our chip amp designs have been used on many high quality professional audio projects. The basis of this amplifier project is the National Semiconductor LM Series, or Gainclone Amplifier Chips. The LM3875 is a high-performance audio power amplifier capable of delivering 56W of continuous average power to an 8 Ohm load with 0.1% THD+N from 20Hz to 20kHz.
These DALAUDIO Studio Mono Block Amplifiers (tm) utilize high quality printed circuit boards in a "non-inverted design” which to us simply sounds better.
Chassis Type: Studio - Extruded aluminum black chassis with DALAUDIO faceplate provides a tight footprint in a solid package.
Built by hand with meticulous care in our Ohio workshop, these are fully tested prototype amplifiers.
Power Supply: Dual PSU utilizes dual pairs of four MUR860 diodes. Filtering is accomplished through 4.7 UF 100V capacitors on PSU board.
Transformer (Mains): (Toroidal) 160VA 22v/22v.
LM3875 output and operating characteristics per datasheet: The LM3875 is a high-performance audio power amplifier capable of delivering 56W of continuous average power to an 8 Ohm load with 0.1% THD+N from 20Hz to 20kHz. See our Gainclone FAQ for extended specs for the LM3875.
To maximize the potential of these amplifiers, the peripheral equipment must have a good detailed source. If a noisy preamp is used (as this is only an amplifier it does not have any volume control or source buffering or equalization) a lackluster sound will result. Likewise with detailed sound, the amps will produce detail out. And the sound is fast as it is detailed. With no input the amps will be dead quiet.

“Me too,” said Cutie, jumping onto the window ledge to sit beside her brother.
“Oh yes I do,” said Cutie.
“I don’t know,” said Cutie.
“I am the Highway,” said Arrow.
“That is my favourite song too,” said Cutie.
“Yes it is,” said Cutie.
Arrow and Cutie started singing “I am the Highway” as loud as their little cat voices would allow them.
“It has been awhile,” said Mommy.
Mommy, Daddy, Arrow and Cutie got in the car. Daddy turned the radio on and the very first song that came on was their favourite road trip song, “I am the Highway”. They all started singing it at the top of their lungs. They were all very happy that they were going on a road trip and they were all even happier that they got to listen to their favourite road trip song.
We should always have some favourite road trip music.
Example: Arrow and Cutie love the song “I am the Highway”. It is their favourite road trip song.

The team tested and demonstrated its jailbreak on iPhone 6 at a security conference held recently. The iPhone 6 with came with iOS 8.4.1 which was released few months back came with around 35 exploits.
Of these exploits, many were used by the jailbreaking team TaiG while they crafted their 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 jailbreaks.
Many details on this jailbreak were posted on a Chinese micro-blogging website which goes by the name of Weibo, which demonstrated the legitimacy of the jailbreak. Although the jailbreak by Pangu is officially in works and has officially been declared as a success, the team never intended to release the iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak because the iOS 9 was supposed to hit the markets which is the case now.
This demonstration was a crystal clear implication of the fact that the team is on its way to jailbreak the recent entrant in the iOS franchise, the iOS 9. Moreover, the release of iOS 8.4.1 would indirectly mean that the untethered jailbreak would want the people who wish to get the 8.4.1 jailbreak to downgrade their versions if necessary in order to avail the latest facilities and get thee exciting features.
If you love jailbreaking, you can downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 as the Apple signs its firmware window. Post signing, if the jailbreak is released and if you are using iOS 9.0, the jailbreak won’t be of any use to you.
Stay tuned to TENOCATION for further updates!

to learn more about the work we undertake.
Leprosy as an active disease is a reality for millions of people.
A remarkable book, written by the charity's co-founder.
Sarva’s principal focus is its Education Fund. This provides financial support to students excluded from state education or normal integration in the wider community, due to their leprosy parentage, poverty, or social status.
This fund enables our students to undertake schooling or vocational training, which would otherwise be impossible for them due to the strength of prejudice against them. The Sarva Education Fund is thereby able to offer an opportunity for them to finally break the desperate cycle of destitution and disease for their impoverished families and communities.
One of the ways Sarva is supporting girls and boys whose parents have been affected by leprosy is through nursing degrees. This 3½-year training is of particular importance to our work, as it enables these young people to spread the knowledge of proper health care and hygiene to the ostracised communities from which they come.
From founding in November 2006 to April 2015, the Sarva Education Fund has provided support to over 200 students, giving some £73,000 in scholarships.
Vaishali has been raised in a leprosy colony. Sarva has supported her through every stage of her higher education, up to a Masters degree and then through further qualifications with the Indian Institute of Banking. She now has full-time employment with good prospects in a state bank. We are immensely proud of her incredible dedication to her studies and her determination to continue transforming both her future and that of her ostracised family.
Sonu comes from a leprosy background, his widowed mother living in the colony in which he was born. With the support and encouragement of Sarva, he completed his Hotel Management degree last summer and now has the position in a 5-star hotel of which he long dreamt.
Sonu also impresses how grateful he and his family are for the opportunity Sarva's supporters have given them to change their lives in ways that would have otherwise been impossible. As he said to us, "Even my cousin has now been able to marry outside our community (meaning leprosy colony) to a Brahmin priest who has cows!"
Prabhawati has done well in her three years of nursing training at medical school. As her school report states, his once painfully shy girl "has become smart in her appearance, confident and is ready to take on the challenges in life before her". She is now able to step out into the world and find a freedom from social stigma that she and her leprosy-affected family could not have previously imagined.
Pankas is a Nepalese boy whose hard-working, though desperately poor parents are unable to have him educated. Sarva has been able to secure him a place in one of the best schools in the district and is covering all expenses. Pankas is thriving, and is now able to aspire to vocations beyond the menial, seasonal labour on which he would have otherwise been dependant his whole life long.
Shushila is one of Sarva's first girls from a leprosy background to train as a nurse and midwife. She writes: I must say words cannot express our family feelings and thanks for you supporting me, making my career safe. It was my Dad’s dream. e is no more, but I see my Dad in you, because you are fulfilling his dream to support me. You are my godfathers, who fulfilled his and my family’s dream, to make it real..
We have supported boys with a leprosy background through full-time Hotel Management degrees. One of these, Anurag, writes: "Finally I got the job in a five star hotel in Jaipur. I am so thankful that because of you I could do my degree from one of the best universities in India."
Sunanda had the initiative to approach Sarva when she saw the positive impact of the medical training we provided to her cousin. Coming from the same leprosy background, she is completing her 3½-year medical training as a nurse and midwife, having topped her year in the final exam results. She writes, "This could not be possible without you. Thank you so much for believing in me."
Ram is a highly-intelligent Nepalese boy, whose father is a seasonal sherpa and noodlemaker, and is unable to have him educated. Sarva is ensuring that this young lad will be able to fulfil his potential. Ram recently had TB and yet still came top of the school in his end of year exams. He recently wrote to say, "I am so happy… I am thankful because you help me in a great thing."
Vikram’s Bengali parents are both affected by leprosy and live in an isolated colony. He is the first of Sarva’s male student to request training as a nurse. He is now in his second year at the only medical school in India that offers young men such opportunities.
Ashish is a highly intelligent boy who Sarva has supported throughout his schooling. Such have been his exam results that he has been accepted into an excellent local academy to study Humanities – an otherwise impossible opportunity that will undoubtedly afford him and his abandoned mother a very different future.
Sandeep comes from an ‘Untouchable’ background. An intelligent and diligent young man with very little opportunity due to his family’s social standing, Sarva encouraged and supported him through college, until he achieved first a BA, then MA degree. He has subsequently completed officer training in the Indian army and is now serving in the Communications Corps. This has opened up his world and enabled him to marry a school teacher from a higher caste, thereby raising his entire family from their lowly station.

You think you got daddy issues? Imagine if your dad abandoned you at birth then came back fifteen years later and killed your loving adoptive father, who also happens to be entirely made out of coolness, and now wants to force you into the family business without giving you any choice in the matter. Your twin brother is going through some sort of teenage rebellious phase and you find out he’s been hiding stuff from you your whole life so you can’t really count on him either. Also, your dad is Satan. Yeah, you don’t have daddy issues.
Like a lot of people who grew up with zero religious upbringing, I tend to get fascinated by stories with tons of religious symbolism. Anime of the type are a particular favorite of mine since the symbolism is often just added on for style and the fact that I know nothing about the dogma doesn’t interfere with my understanding and appreciation of the show in any way. Then again maybe I miss the point of these shows entirely. Then again AGAIN, I think I miss the point of most shows regularly. My world is a fun place, you should come visit sometimes.
Ao no exorcist is a show about the eternal and epic struggle of good versus evil in the most literal sense and the visuals are suited to the task. The colors are good (not great) and blue is thematically used throughout as expected. The character designs are all unique and vary greatly from one another and the setting and architecture are just fantastic. I mean look at this town! And above all else, those school uniforms are the bomb.
As far as the story goes, it’s paced very well. Things seem to careen a bit out of control at first as we see Rin’s world get turned upside down quite radically and a lot of new information gets thrown at him (and at us), but the show regains its footing quickly and keeps a brisk but consistent pace all the way to the grand climax. I really appreciated that the story attempted to tie up all the loose ends and how the writers did not just assume that there would be a season 2. Too many shows just leave the audience hanging. I don’t mean that there is no story left to explore, there are definitely some characters and events I wouldn’t mind them elaborating on but I don’t feel like I need closure.
Unfortunately, I think the show falls down a bit in the characterization. Although none of the characters are bad or boring, they are a little generic maybe? I loved Shiro and Mephisto and I quite liked Yukio and Rin, especially in relation to one another, but I hardly remember anyone else. I mean I recognize images of them and have a basic idea of their personalities but more as outlines than actual fleshed out characters. For instance, I saw Soul Eater a few years before Ao no exorcist and I vividly remember almost everyone that ever appeared on that show. I can describe quirks, tell you in detail what I appreciate and dislike about each. Aside from the four I named all I can really say is that the flower power girl was annoyingly useless at times despite being supposedly very powerful and I think I liked rooster head but I really don’t remember why. This lack of staying power doesn’t take anything away from your enjoyment in the moment mind you. I do remember quite enjoying the “anti-villains”. Mephisto and his brood of devils skillfully threaded the line between likable and treacherous and kept me well engaged with the show.
I’ve talked about my soft spot for good dad characters in animes and Shiro certainly fits that bill. His presence looms large over the story despite his premature exit in episode 1, and we are all better off for it. I found every little flashback with him touching and uplifting. I certainly hope we continue to see him in future seasons.
I did like Ao no exorcist quite a bit and I know season 2 has been out for a while. I fully intend on watching it soon but the stupid universe keeps generating interesting looking anime and refuses to allow me to never sleep again and remain alive.
No reason – I just really liked this gif!
What this anime taught me: Nurture over nature every time!
Every time we see Shiro – Toast!
Let’s All Write a Book | Chapter 1 – Paragraph 2!
This was a nice enough anime, hardly excellent but definitely entertaining. I haven’t watched s2 either and don’t intend to. I was happy enough with the way s1 ended and don’t really want to see how season 2 goes about with the manga canon.
That’s always a strange feeling when a show grows on you on retrospect. Good though 🙂 hope you enjoy the film!

I want to make an announcement to my users at my website about a new feature launch. However, in its first phase, this new feature has limited access - it will be supporting only one city for now, and later to some others.
My attempts so far feel like they'll be discouraging to all my visitors who aren't from those particular cities. How do I write enthusiastically about this, without most of my readers feeling like they're being left out?
You can cast it as an early report on your beta launch, or as a preview of your forthcoming launch. Assuming that you're restricting it now so you can work the kinks out before spreading more widely, it helps to also talk about what you've learned -- we found and fixed this performance problem at scale, we discovered that this one part of our user interface was confusing and did such-and-such to fix it, this week we fixed this many user-reported bugs (average turnaround time N hours), and so on.
Along with conveying news about your feature, for a beta launch like this you want to convey that there is forward motion -- that people who have to wait are benefiting from this wait. Assuming that the broader availability is in the foreseeable future, regular progress reports can also help you keep people interested -- this is the "update bulletin" model used by Kickstarter and similar services.
