ABC News: Judge lets planning, funding proceed for [California] bullet train
A Sacramento County Superior Court judge ruled on Tuesday that the California high-speed rail project does not violate promises made to voters when they approved $10 billion in bonds for the project in 2008. Plaintiffs have argued that the project is no longer on track to meet "promises" on trip times, ridership, and maintenance costs - but none of those metrics were stated in the initiative. Dan Richard, chairman of the board overseeing the California High-Speed Rail Authority, says the train will still be "a fully electric, 200-plus mile-per-hour train that can operate without a subsidy that is designed to operate in 2 hours and 40 minutes between our great cities of Los angeles and San Francisco."
Politico: House settles on 3.5-month FAA extension
After months of debate in the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee over whether to privatize air traffic control services, legislators have agreed on a bill that will extend the FAA's authorization until July 15, giving them an additional 3.5 months to negotiate a longer-term aviation bill. Interestingly, this short-term bill allows the FAA to continue collecting excise taxes until Spring 2017 so that if Congress has to pass another short-term extension in July, that bill can start in the Senate (revenue bills must be originated in the House).
The Hill: Opinion - Infrastructure in a Trump or Clinton administration
This column by Norman Anderson of DC strategy firm CG/LA Infrastructure, lays out the transportation infrastructure policies of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the Democratic and Republican parties' most likely nominees at this moment. It makes the important point that transportation is not the only kind of infrastructure America must invest in, and lays out two "critical requirements" for the new Administration if it is to take infrastructure funding seriously: the establishment of a national infrastructure bank (which I've written about before), and the creation of a White House office focused on "facilitating technology innovation and velocity in project permitting and funding."
Governing: An overlooked transportation alternative: bus rapid transit
Wes Guckert, President and CEO of The Traffic Group, outlines bus rapid transit (BRT) as an alternative to light rail in addressing traffic congestion. According to Guckert, BRT is cheaper, the infrastructure is smaller, it has all the same amenities as trains (Wi-Fi, level boarding, off-vehicle payment), and is more "flexible" (it can leave its lane if there's an obstruction, unlike a train getting off its tracks). Guckert addresses the negative connotations of buses but highlights the impressive economic returns g enerated by some BRT systems, like Cleveland, Ohio's HealthLine.
The Atlantic: A $50 million plan to get cities thinking about driverless cars
The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking to fix cities' seeming reluctance to incorporate driverless vehicles into their city plans, and it's doing that through the Smart City Challenge. The contest asks mid-sized cities to come up with ideas for improving traffic safety and mobility using driverless cars, intelligent infrastructure, street sensors, and other technologies. Secretary Anthony Foxx will announce the five finalists this weekend, who will be able to use Infraworks 360, a building information modeling platform that uses 3D visualizations and data to plan engineering projects, to refine their proposals ahead of the winner being named in June. Infraworks 360 seems pretty cool:
Happy ready, and happy weekend!

I am terrribly sorry, I should have shared the details of this spot forever ago when I first discovered it.
The truth is, when my food arrives, I eat it immediately and any thoughts of taking a snap evaporate. So I've had nothing to substantiate my post with.
Famous for their super bowls and their perfectly poached eggs. I mean every time, just right. How do they do it?
The room has a relaxed feel, no reservations, just turn up and chill out. Order coffee, some juice and whatever feast you fancy.
My favourite order is the Kevin Bacon Toasted Sandwich: bacon, guacamole and cheddar cheese on Sourdough bread. Served with a cup of hot soup. Perfect for dunking.
Other Peck 20 treats include, the veggie breakfast and their homemade savoury waffles served with poached eggs.
Last but not least, the menu hosts a wide range of egg entered dishes, like my favourite, eggs benedict. Mmm dreamy.
Found At: Rue Jourdan 20, 1060 Saint-Gilles

South Africa-born comedian Trevor Noah's response to being called a "Hollywood elitist" is being hailed as the biggest Twitter clapback in history.
@Trevornoah are you gonna criticize @alfranken & @johnconyersjr like you are @MooreSenate & @realDonaldTrump or are you just gonna be another biased, progressive Hollywood elitist 🤔— Francis J. Folz Jr. (@FrancisFolz) December 6, 2017
A U.S. Twitter user's assumption that Noah was from America wasn't going to fly with Noah, who hosts The Daily Show, so he quickly reminded the follower about his African roots.
He wrote: "I'm from Soweto not Hollywood."
Are you gonna watch the show so you can answer your own question?— Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) December 6, 2017
And ps I'm from Soweto not Hollywood. 😄 https://t.co/mCKlYm0bpU
It saw a flood of fresh support for the comedian, a national treasure in his hometown.
Will you just marry me now? Citizenship 😘— Kari jo 🐢 - ❤ (@Karijostark1) December 6, 2017
Never that...Please be content American ladies, y'all just bagged Prince Harry. Leave Trevor for other continents, you can't have all the hot men. Hau, ngeke!— AfroKapital (@tlhogikapital) December 6, 2017

Date started with Aspire: March 2014
Brief description of what you do: I am responsible for the marketing activities for Southern Oregon Aspire which includes advertising, social media, web site content, special events, fundraising and the creation and production of presentation materials. I also assist the Human Resources department with recruitment. It's my job to get and keep Southern Oregon Aspire known in the local community and to spread the word about the incredible work we do here.
Your professional background: I've been involved in the marketing field for 29 years, first as a marketing representative at a local title company for 10 years, then at a local bank for 7 and then as a small business owner and now as Marketing Director here at Aspire. I've also been a project manager for a construction firm and a bank manager for a local bank.
How has working at Aspire impacted your life: I've learned to fully appreciate all the good in my own life. I've had my challenges along the way, but not the same challenges that the people we support face. Being around these incredible people certainly makes you look at your own life and count your blessings. I also have a different perspective of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities…they are some INCREDIBLE people…with more abilities than disabilities.
Best facet of working at Aspire: Getting to know the people we support on a personal level and seeing them exceed and celebrate their successes.
What brought you to Aspire: The previous Executive Director finally got me to come to work here after I left the banking industry. The organization had not had an official marketing department and I actually started on a part-time basis but quickly realized there was much work to get done.
A few thoughts on encouraging others to become involved with Aspire, in any way, shape or form: I think most people who have not been around the people we support are afraid or uncomfortable around them. They just really haven't taken any time to get to know them. They are just regular people like ourselves but have some different challenges than we face. We are all just people and by working together you not only enhance the lives of those we support, but they make a huge difference in your own life. It really can put your life into perspective.
What things you would like to see transpire in the future of Aspire and the people we support: I'm excited to be a part of this organization as we move forward and tackle the obstacles before us. For me it's a personal mission to educate the general public about the work we do here, the people we support and what they can do to contribute to the community. They all want to work within the community and achieve their own personal goals just like the rest of us. And the exciting thing is…I get to be a part of making that happen!
Any other pertinent information regarding your employment with Aspire: I'm amazed everyday by the staff that works in this organization. The level of commitment and compassion that these people possess to care for the needs of another human being is incredible. They truly make a difference in the life of another person. They are not driven by money but more by the personal satisfaction of serving another human being. That takes a special kind of person and this organization is full of them. To sum it all up in one word….WOW!!

Back then, we weren't sure what to do when we had salmon. It's an interesting ingredient with so much potential. Still, when cooking it, one must be very careful to not mess up! You see, cooking baked salmon can go down to the science. When you cook it too long it can taste rubbery. But when it's undercooked, you risk getting food poisoning.
To some people, cooking kosher food can be intimidating for various of reasons. What if they prepared it incorrectly? What if they mixed meat and dairy by accident but did not realize it? Or how about cooking fish in general? What if they under-cook it? What if it is overcooked? Or worst, what if it ends up being fishy?
Fear not! We've come to the rescue for this classic baked salmon recipe with it's famous partner which is the lemon! Let's get started!
What you'll need:
2 lbs salmon
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp ground pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly to the salmon to give it that delicious taste!
- Slice the lemon in half and squeeze in a bowl until you have 2 tbs-worth. Sprinkle the juice over the salmon.
- Place in a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve with salad or rice and enjoy!

Full Name
Emani Tinoa'i
Sentenced to life with a 14 year 6 month non-parole period in June 2010
Earliest parole date September 2023
NZ Herald story here
NZ Herald story 18th June 2010
A man who stabbed his wife to death on the forecourt of a Wellington service station was today jailed for life, with a minimum non-parole period of 14-1/2 years. Emani Tinoa'i, 49, a butcher, was sentenced in the High Court at Wellington after being found guilty of murdering Moliga Tinoa'i, 42, on the forecourt of a Johnsonville service station on March 14 last year. Tinoa'i admitted the slaying at his trial but defence lawyer Mike Antunovic argued that he "lost his mind" after finding his wife had been unfaithful. He stabbed her to death in a "frenzied explosion of passion". Mr Antunovic said Tinoa'i was provoked by long-standing problems within his marriage, including his wife's infidelity.
"This was a killing by a human being in deep despair," he said. Tinoa'i had long suspected his wife of cheating and had decided to give her "one last chance". He went to her work and waited in her car with "five or six" beers and a knife. Mr Antunovic said Tinoa'i wanted to talk to his wife and work through their problems but he "snapped" when she attempted to avoid the discussion by getting out of the car. "Her getting out of the car triggered this frenzied explosion of passion," he said. "The entire time that knife was in his hand he was out of control. He snapped. A seemingly minor act, he lost all control." Mr Antunovic said Tinoa'i slashed wildly, striking his wife 18 times.
Tinoa'i's calm, dazed state after the attack was further evidence he had temporary lost his mind, he said. Tinoa'i told the trial jury he began to suspect his wife was having an affair as early as 2007 and that their relationship was becoming more and more strained in the period leading up to the stabbing. He said he thought his suspicions were confirmed when he saw what he thought was a "love bite" on his wife's chest the night before the attack. Crown prosecutor Grant Burston said Tinoa'i had a history of violence toward his wife and repeatedly threatened to kill her. "This killing was not a case of loss of self control, this was the final expression of Mr Tinoa'i's attempts to control his wife," he said. "He threatened to kill her and he did."

For the second time in two days, Syrian fighter jets on Friday attempted to fly over a Kurdish-held area of northeastern Syria where U.S. special operations troops are operating, but flew away after being met by American F-22 fighters. A day earlier, American fighter jets scrambled to meet Syrian jets that conducted airstrikes near the city of Hasakah where American troops are training and advising Kurdish forces that are fighting ISIS. Earlier on Friday the Pentagon had warned the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad to not fly or conduct airstrikes in the area where American troops are operating.

We are regularly asked by couples what our best advise is for DIY Wedding Planners and our advise is always the same: Secure talented, professional and experienced vendors, and book them early! We really can't stress this enough for those who are forgoing a wedding planner (as much as it breaks our heart, we know you're out there!). Booking vendors that are new to the industry, have never done an event at your venue, or don't have an extensive body of work and list of references to share can make the process much more difficult in the long run. There are many instances when these up-and-coming vendors are just as talented (if not more!) as those who have been around longer, but we strongly advise that if you are going to hire one of these amazing ingenues or ask a super-talented friend to help out, that you round out your team with some seasoned professionals.
In general, long-standing industry professionals are better able to anticipate issues before they arise and address them promptly which makes your job (and theirs) much easier. So ask to see examples of work they have done at a venue like yours or for a wedding with a feel similar to yours (i.e., outside wedding, barn or rustic events, day time events where whether might be a concern, large wedding parties, etc).
Remember, the "discounts" that you may get from vendors do not always translate to high value with a smaller price tag and it's almost always better to pay fair prices for experienced professional vendors.
Kai Squared works with many wedding professionals that we will whole-heartedly recommend to clients and non-clients alike. To request a list of Sonoma County vendors that we know can make your Big Day amazing, contact Kai Squared Events.

The girl band Scarlett Johansson has formed with Haim rocker Este Haim has been hit with a cease-and-desist notice from a Los Angeles-based act with the same name.
Last week (ends22Feb15), the Lost in Translation star announced she, Haim and musicians Kendra Morris, Holly Miranda, and Julia Haltigan had joined forces as The Singles, and were planning to release a new single, titled Candy.
It appears the girl band may have to rethink its name following a legal pitch from rocker Vincent Frederick, who fronts an L.A. band called the Singles.
He is alleging trademark infringement, according to Pitchfork.
Frederick released a statement about the legal issue, which reads: "It's hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band. The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success."
Johnasson and her bandmates have yet to comment.

How long do the elastic elements last?
They should last about 4-6 years before replacement is required. Not all sex stool companies have replacement elastic for sale though, be sure to check before you buy.
Do sex stools have a weight limit?
A TPU sex stool like the Fetish Sex Stool has a weight limit of 300 pounds. Sex stools with polyester elastic bands will still support up to 300 pounds but you may sink too far.
My partner can't reach me!
You can use a few pillows to raise yourself higher if needed.
Yes! If you have bad joints it is going to be much safer than not using a sex stool. If you go hard there is the still the risk of coming down and bending your partners shaft–just like in regular cowgirl sex.

I'm in the process of building the strength in my right knee
I only do weighted leg press three times a week, high reps low weight. I include basically a calf raise at the end of each lift. I do this only on my bad leg. On off days I'll do stair steps up and down for as many as I can along with working the supporting muscle in the legs but all body weight at this time. I may between the weights and the off days work them 5 times a week is this to much? Can I do them everyday? The biggest thing is my inability to go up an down stairs.

In the spirit of Earth Day, the Temple Terrace Farmers Market is being held from 8 to 11 am. Saturdays. Travis Malloy, owner of TrailBale Farm in Temple Terrace, started the Farmers Market as a way to promote local farms and producers around the Tampa Bay area.
"I truly believe that local agriculture has the most direct impact on the environment, for very many reasons," Malloy said. "That's why I work so hard on our city's community gardens, why I farm, and why I organized this market."
Malloy said shoppers can find a large assortment of products, which range from organic and grass-fed meats to local honey. Organic-fed, range-free eggs can be purchased from several local producers, as well as organic fruits, vegetables and heirloom seeds. Other items for sale include handcrafted organic spices, freshly roasted coffee beans and dairy items.
The Temple Terrace Farmers Market is located at 11302 N 56th St. between City Hall and Outback Steakhouse. It will be held every Saturday, rain or shine, from 8 to 11 a.m. Shoppers are encouraged to bring cash. For more information, visit ttfarmersmarket.com.

Cloudy economic forecasts at the start of summer have shaken the confidence of many affluent investors.
A new report out from Spectrem Group indicates that the affluent household outlook has fallen to its lowest point in six months, the millionaire investor confidence index fell to its lowest point in five months, and the affluent investor confidence remains in the red after gaining only one point for June.
"These attitudes were no doubt influenced in part by less than encouraging economic news in June," the report said.
Statistics such as a rising unemployment rate and higher numbers of Americans seeking unemployment benefit knocked investors' cool, according to the report. Political uncertainties at home and in Europe also led investors to feel less hopeful.
As a result, many millionaires surveyed chose to "not invest" in June. After the number of millionaires investing climbed 1.6 points in May, it dropped 1.2 points to 35.6 in June. Spectrem group's indices for sentiment are scaled from -51 to +51. The band from -51 to -31 is considered bearish, -11 to -30 is mildly bearish, -10 to 10 is neutral, 11 to 30 is mildly bullish, and 31 to 51 is bullish.
Stocks took some of the brunt of the pullback. Investment in stocks flopped 1.7 points to 30.7 after gaining 1.8 in May.
Stock Mutual Funds, on the other hand, posted the biggest gain for June, rising 5.6 points to 31.6. Similarly, Real Estate rose to a 10 month high after jumping 3.3 points to 12.7.
For millionaires, Real Estate was the "investment of choice." Among that demographic alone, Real Estate rose 6.6 points to 15.7, nearly double the overall jump of affluent households. Likewise, Bond Mutual Funds and Bonds fell out of favor with those high net wealth individuals, dropping 1.6 and 0.7 points to 14.4 and 10.5 respectively.
Alternatively, wealthy, non-millionaire investors were more prone to take chances in the market. Though the number of those not investing was still at a three month low, there were fewer individuals with less than $1 million who abstained than millionaires. For those of this group who did invest, Stock Mutual Funds were the preferred route.
More than a fourth of all affluent investors surveyed said that they believed the most serious threat to their household was the "inability for lawmakers to work together to find solutions to the prolonged economic downturn." That percentage rose from 20% who were concerned with government gridlock three months ago.
An almost equal segment, 22%, of affluent households considered the chance of inflation and 8.2% unemployment to be the most discouraging factors. Additionally, those concerned with the ongoing Eurozone crisis more than doubled from 5% to 12% over the last three months.
Spectrem, a research and consulting firm that specializes in affluent and retirement markets, conducts nearly 250 monthly interviews with investors or financial decision-makers with over $500,000 in investable assets.

Panel Overview: The primary paradigm of our time is that high-tech solutions will eventually solve all of our environmental, social, and economic woes. Can modern technology alone save us in the presence of continued economic growth, population expansion, and climate change? Do we even have a choice anymore? Caltech's 2015 Resonate Award winners — all world leaders in advancing sustainable solutions to global environmental challenges — discuss the issue. They examine what technologies are most needed to address today's challenges, shedding light on the barriers technologists face and what is most needed to accelerate technological solutions in both the short and long term.

Whew! What a week!
After a week-long hiatus, Short and Hat are back in the saddle!
A week ago yesterday, we got into Orlando (finally) after driving all stinkin' day (and into part of the morning). We locked ourselves out of our car, and one bent wire hanger and 20 minutes later, we were back on the road. We pulled into Orlando around two in the morning and crashed until 5:30 am or so when we peeled our little road-weary selves out of the bed and headed down the road to Orlando International Airport where I (Carrie) dropped Seth off; he flew out to Washington DC for a film shoot. Later that afternoon, I picked The Tonettes up from Orlando International, and we proceeded to spank Disney World.
First on the docket was Downtown Disney. The good news: it's free (kind of). Parking and admittance is completely free of charge, but finding parking can be somewhat of a headache. Everything else costs money–kind of a lot of money. We ate at Paradiso 37, a fusion of North, South, and Central American food and were not super impressed.
Downtown Disney, like anything Disney, is a feast for the eyes. Cute, themed shops line both sides of the streets, filled to the brim with the typical Disney souvenirs no one ever needs. Jazz/latin musicians are practically on every street corner. The few attractions cost money, so we didn't find them that important to experience. However, we did discover that you can buy Disney theme park tickets at Disney Quest in Downtown Disney. Do you get cheaper tickets? No, but you can bypass the long ticket lines at the park in the morning and get right in! We also purchased a parks hopper pass ($54) which was on top of the price of admission into just one park ($87). The guy at the ticket counter thought we were crazy for trying to do all four parks in just one day. We were determined, tickets burning a hole in our pockets.
We stayed at the Radisson at Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, and it was fabulous. (We highly recommend!)
The next morning, we got to Disney World at 7:35 am before they opened. We did have to pay for parking which was $14 for the Subi, but it counted for all day at any of the parks.
Along with a huge crowd, we busted into Park #1: Magic Kingdom at 8:00 am and headed straight for Cinderella's Castle (of course). Someone pointed out to us that we're probably some of the only people out there with pictures of themselves standing in front of Cinderella's Castle without anyone else in the background.
The whole first part of the day truly was magical. We got to see the sun's first rays shine on the very spendid Cinderella's Castle. We pretty much walked on to some of the major rides: Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain (lots of mountains), Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion. These rides were pretty much what I remembered: classic Disney rides. By the time 11:00 came around, we were pretty much done with Magic Kingdom having ridden all the rides we had set out to do. Could you spend an entire day, nay, an entire week at Magic Kingdom? Easy.
But we had an agenda.
An agenda to ride rides.
To ride all the rides we wanted to do in all four Disney World parks. In one day.
And we pretty much conquered.
Next, we shot over to Park #1: Animal Kingdom.
We had our sights on Expedition Everest, a relatively new ride that takes you up a freakin' huge mountain (see picture above), through through twists and turns, and shoots you backwards until you meet a very lifelike yeti. At least, that's what I was expecting after watching a Disney World documentary on Netflix. Apparently, the yeti (who guard the great mountain) were some breakthrough technology in animatronics that were supposed to look incredibly real, and at one point in the ride, they were supposed to scare the daylights out of you when you rounded a corner and it cowered over you all hairy and toothy, angry that you would trespass on its mountain. I guess that either the ride had two possibly outcomes or else the yeti was laid up sick or something because all we saw was a shadow projected on a wall. I was so disappointed that I didn't get my yeti experience!
However, the ride was still fantastic.
After a quick bite to eat at Animal Kingdom, we hit the road again for Park #3: Hollywood Studios.
The two rides here we had our eyes on were Rockin' Rollercoaster and my personal favorite, The Tower of Terror. Folks, we waiting in line, hot, sweaty, some of us cranky (we won't mention who ; ), feet hurting for TWO HOURS to get on to Rockin' Rollercoaster. I had a headache, so I wasn't too thrilled with going from 0 to 60 in a couple of seconds with my head bouncing like a pinball between the restraints. Was it a great indoor ride? It wasn't my bag, but some of the other girls liked it–it's kind of a violent ride, and I think I would have appreciated it a lot more if I hadn't had had a headache.
Then, it was time.
Time to ride the last ride of the day, my very favorite ride in all the world. Ever.
The Tower of Terror.
It was fabulous. Here's the thing about amusement park rides. Sure, we want thrills and loop-d-loops, and speed, etc…but we also want a good story. And I gotta hand it to Disney, they do a darn good job at setting the scene. From the minute you even approach the tower, you are in the story: the crumbling, old exterior, the dirty windows, the peeling paint. Then, when you walk inside, you're floored by the attention to detail. It really looks and, more importantly, feels like you're in an old, broken down hotel in the 1930s–right down to the cobwebs on all the light fixtures, the threadbare rug, and the thin blanket of dust covering everything.
The drop at the end, for me at least, is only the tasty cherry on top. For me, it's the setup, the story, the lengths they go to to get you into the story even before the ride officially starts that makes this ride my absolute favorite ride at Disney World.
Last, we headed to Park #4: Epcot to catch the fireworks which weren't as good as I remembered them to be. That could be because we left a good five minutes before the finale because we wanted to avoid the mad crowds trying to get out of the park.
I wish I could have spent more time looking at Epcot's gorgeous flower show they had going on. From what I could tell, it was spectacular.
And so it was that we conquered Disney. All four parks. In one day. Later that evening, we arrived at our hotel, feet blistered, headachey, sore, and hungry, but at least we can say that we had a blast doing everything we had set out to do.

We constantly monitor raw material pricing in order to ensure our customers are getting the best pricing available
Jasper, Tenn. (PRWEB) September 12, 2016
O'Neil Color & Compounding (http://www.oneilcolor.com), a leader in color masterbatches and custom specialty compounds for the plastics processing industry, has announced the availability of stock white colorants for injection, extrusion, co-extrusion and blow molding. The ten stock products are available in various shipment sizes from drum to Gaylord. O'Neil created the standard Stock White line specifically to serve the needs of customers who require a rapid delivery schedule. The new "quick ship" program allows O'Neil to ship ten different white masterbatches in as little as one day.
The program was specifically designed to assist many molders who may need a smaller amount of product for an immediate job, rather than a full truckload. Economies of scale in production of larger quantities allow these molders to order exact amounts for their job while benefiting from advance production of larger quantities of the masterbatches.
"Our stock masterbatches are formulated in a variety of concentrates, polymers and applications," according to O'Neil Product Manager Lee Pfaffle. "We constantly monitor raw material pricing in order to ensure our customers are getting the best pricing available." See the O'Neil Stock White webpage for a chart of specific products available in the "quick ship" program.
All masterbatches in the Quick Ship line are approved for food contact applications. "These products are all produced in O'Neil's new clean compounding isolated manufacturing line in an environment which virtually eliminates contamination from other products," said Pfaffle.
All of O'Neil's products can also be customized with a variety of attributes including fade/UV resistance, release/gloss and laser marking.
For more information about the Stock White program contact your O'Neil representative or Beth Bean at (800) 234-6159 or email QSWhite(at)oneilcolor(dot)com.
About O'Neil Color & Compounding
Originally founded in New York in 1957, O'Neil Color & Compounding, a division of Primex Plastics Corporation, operates lines in Garfield, New Jersey and Jasper, Tennessee, producing color concentrates, additive masterbatches and specialty compounds.

Can Orthodontics improve your jawline
Orthodontics is the field of dentistry which deals with the positioning and alignment of an individual's teeth. Many people have problems with teeth that have grown in the wrong direction, have popped up outside the regular row and are sometimes crowded into a jaw that seems to be not large enough to contain them.
Not only is this often unsightly, it can easily cause embarrassment and even steal your self confidence. Far-thinking parents get an appointment for their child with the orthodontist, and a stitch-in-time certainly saves nine and their teeth and jaw line are adjusted by the timely use of braces.
Braces come in many varieties these days and teens and youth don't have to be stuck with the ugly wire contraptions any more. Although a little pricey, tooth colored and transparent braces are available as well as little frills like colored rubber bands that hold the brackets to make life a lot more interesting.
With orthodontics, even though it may sound impossible, the jaw line can be stretched to accommodate extra teeth that can't seem to find their place in your mouth. While some people have double rows of teeth or extras behind their existing rows, others could have misshapen gums and protruding teeth.
Although a jaw line seems to be a thing that cannot be changed, during your growing years it is not the rock solid part of your body it might feel like. It is malleable to a degree and can be stretched by the application of pressure. The orthodontic brace performs this very function for you.
By creating the brace to push out your jaw, an orthodontist forces your jaw to stretch out and elongate. He can also extend your upper jaw by using a palatal expander. Using a facebow he can also push in your protruding teeth and have them fit in to your jaw. All this is done without any kind of surgery.
While orthodontic surgery and mouth reconstruction also deal with the re-structuring parts of the jaw line, position of teeth and mouth shape and bone structure, the use of basic braces can nip a problem in the bud by being used as corrective treatment in a child's early stages.
If you feel your jaw line needs improvement and alteration, consult with your orthodontist. He is well qualified to help you make the right decisions about your teeth and jaw line and the treatment you should have.

I cashed in for the 7th time on Bubblews! I pressed the green redeem button for my seventh redemption for $25.34 on 10/06/2013. That's 10 days after I did it the last time. I'm not very active on Bubblews and I'm about to become even more inactive because I have a lot to get done on my other blogs before Christmas comes.
I will take Bubblews on again later when I have time but right now it's off the table. I am too busy to think about this right now but I'm happy that's I have it to go back to when I am bored. The good news is, my posts will live on and keep on earnings while I am away, so that's great! I receieved my email letting me know that I would be paid on 10/09/2013 and the eCheck cleared my Paypal account in the amount of $25.34 on 10/16/2013.

Jamie Oliver - and what he stands for
But it's not his acolades that draw me to him. From the first time I saw his very first series, The Naked Chef, I fell in love with his personality and character. He wasn't a camera teacher. He was simply a friend sharing a passion and enjoying the company. He is a chef, a musician, a dad, and a man with a mission. Simply put, he's fresh and real.
And that's what makes his inspiration so captivating for me. Because it isn't his recipes that have caught my attention. It is what he has brought his life to stand for -- the health of our children. My serious endorsement of Jamie Oliver came when I watched his show, Back To School Dinners, his initial reality series located in the UK about bringing reform to the food fed to children in school cafeterias. On the heels of that series, Jamie launched a campaign with the founding of Feed Me Better that called for signatures to petition the British government. His efforts resulted in a 450 million dollar grant from the government to improve school cafeteria food. When I saw him take the same mission to the US, even to the huge city of Los Angeles with his show, Jamie's Food Revolution, I saw it was just an extension of what came before, but in a much bigger way.
Now with the establishment of the Jamie Oliver Foundation, Jamie consistently launches similar initatives. His latest initiative, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, is a similar petition to his UK initiative to endorse the reform of school cafeteria food in America to conform to the standard nutrition needed to help children think and learn better in school.
Research shows that our diets are a vital part of learning. What we feed our bodies directly affects our mood, our ability to concentrate, and our ability to deal with stress. Along with exericise, diet can make a dramatic difference in our ability to recall information that we have learned and absorb new information accurately and meaningfully. In the formative years of children, proper nutrition and exercise can save their lives.
But it's not just about petitioning governments and school dinners that Jamie wants to see. It's the simple desire he has for everyone to take ownership and teach their children about food from the earliest age. His 2010 Jamie's Family Christmas Special gave me a small glimpse into his heart as a dad to ensure his children not only understand what they eat, but involve them in the cooking in the kitchen with "dad" and learn the basics of raw ingredients. It's just endearing and ever so inspiring.
Bravo, Jamie!

Jazz Insights from iTunesU
The majority of courses in iTunes there are raw recordings of class lectures, where there is an assumed audience, and often writing on the whiteboard which you can't see.
However Dr. Vernick recorded these 15 minute clips specifically for the ipod listener to teach you about the grassroots of almost every aspect of jazz that you can probably think of. The quality of the recording is crystal clear, and he intersperses his comments with examples of music to demonstrate styles and techniques. Vernick's voice manner has the wonderful laid back "jazzy" quality to it that gets you in the mood. mmmmmm!
However, be forewarned that these are lectures recorded intentionally for the ipod. There's no really dumbing down of the terms used. But the language is accessible enough for anyone to understand, so don't worry. If you are a good student, and listen intently, I guarantee, you will KNOW JAZZ!
My favorites so far is the early years of Bill Evans, and his 4 part discussion on Oscar Peterson -- my all-time favorite jazz pianist. After all, I'm a pianist too! Thanks to Dr. Vernick for efforts in sharing his wealth of knowledge! I'm a fan!

Hive Hair Spa
But I finally came to my senses and started searching around for a new hair salon where my pocketbook wouldn't hurt as much. And I stumbled upon Hive Hair Spa. I took my first trip there a few years back and now make it my regular stop for my hair needs. Surprisingly, when they first started, they received some coaching on running their own salon from my friend who used to cut my hair. Good reference already!
The things I love about this place:
Price Point
Paying $35-40 for professional Japanese cut and style was a very welcome change to the typical $75-80 that I was accustomed to paying. The quality of cut is definintely comparable to what I used to get. So there are zero complaints from my end. The hairdressers will work closely with you to get the cut you want, and even advise you if your not sure what works, or just want something different. It's everything that I used to get with half the cost. Woot!
No Nonsense Work Ethic
I'm not the kind of person who likes a lot of chatter, and feel pressured to have to tell my hair stylist all the elements of my personal resume. I really just want to go to in and get my hair done. They really don't chatter it up with you unless you are clearly in the mood to chat. And for me, that's a good thing.
Asian Hair Specialists
The majority (maybe all?) of the hair dressers are Japanese. This is good news for me since getting a cut to suit my asian black hair can be a challenge if you don't want to pay the high price for it.So they are used to thicker black long hair, and, from what I can tell, are up to speed with the latest trends.
The Massages!
Oh baby, yes! You get the full head and neck massage with your hair wash. Just close your eyes and enjoy!
The Bonuses

Authentic Fettuccini Alfredo (fast and easy)
Now I never order fettuccini alfredo in a restaurant anymore. There's no need. hehe.
Just one warning. This is not a "healthed-up" version. These are authentic ingredients. I've tried at times to replace ingredients to lower the calories, using yogurt & skim milk instead of cream, trying to reduce the butter, etc. But you gotta try it the authentic way and treat yourself on a saturday after a week of being good with your diet and workouts.
1 lb of asparagus
3/4 lb of dried fettuccini
4 tablespoons of butter, cut into smaller pieces
1 cup heavy cream (i just use whipping cream)
pinch of nutmeg (do NOT skip this spice)
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (use the real stuff, not the cheap Kraft container stuff)
Boil the water for the fettuccini. Meanwhile, break off the woody part of the asparagus, and then cut it into 1/2" pieces. leave the heads longer and intact.
When the water is boiling. Add pasta and set the timer for about 9 minutes. While you are waiting, get your butter, cream, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper ready.
At 9 minutes, add the asparagus pieces and then boil for 3 more minutes.
Once it's done, drain, and then return it to the pot right away. Don't run it under cold water. Keep it hot. yum yum!
Add the butter, cream, cheese, nutmet, salt and pepper, and stir it around until the cream is all combined. Add a pinch of flour to thicken the sauce to your liking. Usually needs a couple of pinches.
Serve right away.
If you want to add chicken like in the picture, you can do it while the water is boiling and/or the pasta is cooking.
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1/8 cup olive oil
2 skinless chicken breast
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and then add the chicken and coat thoroughtly.Fry in pan covered for about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, add about 1/8 cup of water, and then cover. The steam will help cook the chicken through faster so you dont have to over fry the outside of the chicken. Rest on a plate for about 2 minutes before you start slicing it.
Serves 4.
Other options are to flash fry shrimp, or top with skewered roasted veggies if you don't want meat. Honestly, you can just eat it as is without anything added. It's so delicious, i promise! :)

iTunes U App
You can listen or even view full semester courses like biology, languages, literature, business, fine art, history -- any subject that you can think of. These come from reputable institutions such as Yale, Harvard, USC, Stanford, to name a few, and even some Canadian and international institutions.
So far, my focus has to be on the few NYU Open Education courses, which are videos with high quality teaching which include Calculus I, Introduction to Sociology, and Statistics (which I'm doing as a refresher to help me in my job).
I've also found a full biblical Hebrew and Greek course from Concordia Seminary that is highly effective for any theologian who feels their languages are rusty and need a refresher. Brand new learners may probably need to go slower and get the textbook to keep up.
But there is a lot more than university courses available in iTunes U. There are numerous current issues lectures and presentations, along with inspirational commencement speeches by notable speakers and celebrities. If you have not checked out the Steve Jobs commencement speech in 2005 at Stanford University, well, you're just letting the best pass you by.
I'm a huge fan of iTunes U. I used to waste hours of time educating myself on the tens of thousands of hours of information. I took a break for a while (personal life issues), but the release of this app may pull me back in.
What is your favorite course in iTunes U? Share it! I'd love to know!

Metronome App for iPhone
One of my must haves for the iPhone is this metronome for practicing my music. Easy to set, beautiful to look at, and absolutely essential for the practicing musician.
Note that you can tap your beat to get the metronome to set itself to the tempo that you need. After all, everyone doesn't play Mozart at the exact same speed.
The only problem now is... I need my piano. Renting a practice piano can only last for so long. But it's also great to do sit ups to just to keep my pace up.
The Steinway Metronome is a free app. Go get it.
Mom's Power Breakfast
The trick is to have all the ingredients ready in bulk so you can just throw it together in the morning. The following is one serving.
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1 cup water
pinch of raw sea salt (or regular salt ok too)
Bring to a boil. Then immediately lower heat to a slow simmer and set your timer to 20-25 minutes. You might want to just check the consistency the first time with what works with your stove.
When it's thoroughly cooked, it will initially look like there's still liquid on the top. Just stir it and it will look like typical oatmeal. It will continue to cook and thicken even after you remove it from the heat.
Put in a bowl and top it with the following:
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2-3 table spoons of maple syrup
2/3 cup of frozen blueberries
1/2 cup skim milk
1 fistful of nuts. Mine has (all unsalted):
roasted pumpkin seeds
- roasted almond slices
- roasted cashews
- dried figs
- raw walnuts
I've modified mom's power oatmeal and used steel cut oats instead of rolled oats (she uses a combination of both), organic maple syrup instead of brown sugar, and added the dried figs for some extra fruit. Oh, and I cook it in an earthenware bowl straight on the stove. My new favorite thing.
I love to grocery shop in the bulk food section. I browse and look at what kind of nuts I want in my morning breakfast. I stay away from high calorie nuts like pistachios, but a very small amount once in a while doesn't hurt anyone, right? *giggle*
Did you try this recipe? Send me a photo of your version of this power breakfast with your modifications and I'll post the best ones here!

Dollar General currently builds approximately 600 stores each year, with an ultimate goal of 20,000. 12,000 stores are expected by the end of 2012.-Photo by Aaron Matheson
...highly effective.
...very well managed.
Mike Hunkler readily admits it. Gresham, Smith and Partners' ongoing work with a commercial developer that builds Dollar General stores isn't architecturally glamorous. He knows it's not common for engineering project management to be mentioned alongside more front-and-center architectural projects, but, that's the fun and beauty of the work with Brentwood, Tennessee-based GBT Realty. It's a continuous partnership that delivers practical — and critical — results for the client in a big way, and the elegance of the project is in its behind-the-scenes efficiency.
GBT Realty approached GS&P with the goal of becoming the highest volume preferred developer for Dollar General in the United States. The GS&P team's role was to solve one of the project's biggest dilemmas: figuring out how to create a flexible but highly detailed site design process that could flow as fast as humanly possible amidst a complicated array of pre-construction demands.
"Our client's biggest ongoing challenge was to keep store openings on schedule and within budgets set prior to our involvement in the site design," says Hunkler, professional engineer and Dollar General Principal-in-Charge. "GBT needed to deliver a cost-effective site design that fell within the original lease terms of Dollar General. We became GBT's civil engineer on multiple projects happening simultaneously and on very fast-paced schedules. Our goal was to complete a set of site development construction and bid drawings for the initial permitting submittal within two weeks of our notice to proceed. It was, and is, multitasking on steroids."
Finding solutions on a fast timeline
Dollar General is experiencing staggering growth. The publically-traded corporation, headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, employs over 90,000 people in 40 states, and is on track to have 12,000 stores by the end of 2012. The company's long-term growth goal is equally impressive. They currently build over 600 stores a year (an average of approximately three store openings every two days), with an ultimate goal of 20,000 stores.
A standard Dollar General store takes about three months to build, but the due diligence period leading up to construction can take triple that amount of time or more. GS&P's role is to organize, streamline and optimize the constant flow of pre-construction challenges and pressures.
"There are so many demands during the site planning and pre-construction phase," Hunkler says. "Some of the biggest have to do with location and jurisdiction. We help our client navigate through a variety of agencies peculiar to specific sites. They may include city planning commissions, city councils, townships and county governments, departments of transportation and state environmental agencies."
The typical site contains a pre-engineered store building with parking for 30 cars, truck access, storm water management, and landscaping on approximately one acre of land. At least 25 percent of the sites don't have the required space needed or are oddly shaped, which inevitably means going through local officials to get a variance. For instance, it can be difficult to determine the best location for an entrance and adequate parking spaces, while also allowing room for a large truck to make deliveries. Although the GS&P team never changes the basic architecture of a Dollar General building, they modify certain aspects of the prototype design to accommodate the unique challenges of each site.
"The engineering from the property line to the face of the building differs a lot from project to project because no two pieces of property are ever the same," explains Dylan Tarr, civil engineer and project manager. "We adjust our design approach on each project according to lot size, lot shape, utility locations, topography and any of the many other design restrictions or requirements that come along."
Storm water and drainage problems are another example of a common pre-construction dilemma. Soil types and conditions vary widely and can require everything from a straightforward solution to a more complicated resolution such as placing drainage areas in high grass or in underground holding ponds.
"Municipal requirements, and our proposed solutions, for storm water quantity and quality vary significantly from site to site," Tarr says. "It can be a substantial issue, and we have to grapple with it for the majority of our sites to some extent as we work toward a solid, approvable design."
A unified team
A Dollar General project, always in the process of unfolding and evolving, requires a flexible, mentally nimble and highly unified team. In this case, it took time for a cohesive internal group to solidify, but the final team is a diverse group who feel comfortable with the extreme level of multitasking and hyper-attention required to stay on top of the project at all times.
"It takes a certain demeanor and mindset," explains Hunkler. "It takes a willingness to be autonomous. A lot of decisions rest on your shoulders, but there is a lot of satisfaction in knowing you are steering the truck. When all is said and done, I think our intricate teamwork is the key to the continuing success of this project."
The GS&P Dollar General team typically consists of about 22 engineers, landscape architects and technicians in total, working on up to 50 projects at a time. Hunkler is proud of his staff and says team members are highly committed and able to move with precision and speed. They must also be ready to communicate with external team members at a moment's notice — from architects to environmental engineers to land surveyors.
"There's a special talent necessary to gain these approvals concurrently with each other and in locations where we've had no previous project experience," says Hunkler. "With the pace and number of projects required, adherence to a quality control process is important, and clock-like teamwork is essential. Everything has to happen in a sequence and it can't be done out of order."
In the process of managing the demands of the Dollar General project, the GS&P team created a comprehensive checklist for team members to use at every step. It has become an invaluable problem-solving tool that's essential to keeping the project on track and free of costly errors and omissions. Although having the checklist may seem like a simple part of the project, Hunkler reiterates it's a detailed tabulation containing many of the lessons learned over time by the team. It consists of over 90 key points, most of which are highly technical and directly related to dozens of tasks that have to be performed before the box can be checked.
"Everyone is touching so many projects simultaneously," Hunkler says. "The more we got into this, the more we realized we needed tools to turn to. The checklist is one of them, but there are others. Our clear lines of communications with the team, and with people involved externally — city officials, architects, surveyors, planners — are tools we fine-tuned over time, almost to an art."
Measure of success
Hunkler says he knows the Dollar General work is successful because of the client's feedback, including the fact that workload continues to grow. Over a period of three years the account has soared with over 280 sites designed, approximately 230 stores either open or under construction, and another 40 in various stages of development. With the GS&P team guiding the pre-construction process, GBT now averages 80-100 stores a year and is the highest volume preferred developer of Dollar General Stores in the country.
"GBT has a choice in site design consultants; they don't have to go with us," says Hunkler.
"They've tried others, but quickly came back."
Another key proof of the project's success lies in GS&P's record
of quality.
"We have written zero design error and omission checks," Hunker proudly says. "The discipline required to follow our project management process, as well as the design and agency lessons learned from working across the nation with every conceivable government review entity, has had far reaching positive results in all aspects of our site design process in the Nashville Land Planning Division.
"Our work with Dollar General may not be 'high architecture'," Hunkler adds, "but it definitely has its own merit. With a project like this, you might not have that pleasing trophy design, but you have the satisfaction of knowing you've helped the client be extremely successful with a process that's very demanding and complicated. This project is about the details people don't see, but have to be accomplished. It has a lot of hidden secrets — a lot we are proud of."

A Cinderella Gown
I'm helping out with costumes for my school's high school musical production of Cinderella. The director is non-traditional with costumes, using brightly colored modern prom-dresses for the ball scene, and baggy, calico printed dresses of all sorts of different eras for the village scene. There is everything from a Queen wearing a Medieval type gown to Edwardian era mutton sleeves on the Stepsister's dresses. It's interesting...to say the least. It isn't exactly how I would have costumed the musical...but it isn't my musical, so whatever.
Nearly everything was rented from a local theater, but I was asked to make Cinderella's "Mother's Gown" because it is suppose to be 'torn apart' in the play by the two Stepsisters. We couldn't exactly tear apart rentals, now could we. So, I used the Sense and Sensibility, Elegant Ladies Drawstring Gown Pattern as a base...altered it to open and close in the back for easy on and off capabilities...made a removable sash and a tear away sleeve (with velcro). And voila!
I'm pretty pleased with the results. From close-up, the seams are a disaster because I rushed, and the only thread I had on hand was too light for the fabric, but no one is going notice those things when the gown is worn on stage.
Nothing like a little Regency thrown into the mix of hodge-podge, multi-era fashion, right!
*Oh, and did I mention I am doing this completely on a volunteer basis....so, um, yea! At least the fabric's being paid for.*

I was very hesitant to speak of this too much until the due diligence was completed and escrow had closed. On November 3, all that happened and I now own this 7-unit apartment building in Las Vegas.
Its a great deal for myself. The essential details are the purchase price is $200,000, seller is carrying back with $27,500 down, at 6.5% interest only for 3 years, plus option to extend for fourth year. Fixup costs are $14,600. Net operating income will be $23,756 w/ 10% vacancy factor. Its a 30%+ cash on cash return based on cash flow after debt service.
Also, I have submitted purchase offers on 3 more residential multi-family properties - also in Las Vegas. Two of them, will net about $10,000 each on a flip strategy. Each will offered at better than 10% capitalization rate to the new purchasers.
Third property that interests me is a foreclosed tri-plex that the listing price was $40,000 - that's for WHOLE building, NOT per unit. (I clarify because if you live on the west coast like I do, I know its hard to comprehend prices like that) Estimated fixup costs are $9,000. Listing agent said rents are $500/unit/month, so based on that net operating income is $9,580 w/ 10% vacancy factor. That's a 19.5% capitalization rate AND if buying with cash means for $49,000 would own fixed up 3-plex free and clear with NO mortgage to cover, NO debt service. However... if my offer is accepted, my strategy for this property is to buy, rehab, get rented out, then resell as a "performing, all ready to go investment property" in 4 months (or so) at $70,000, or a 13.7% capitalization rate.
These properties are a win/win scenario for all parties involved - whether the new buyer is a rehabber, or is looking for a turnkey property with an annual return of well over 10%. I live in Portland, Oregon so I dare anyone to find close to a 10% capitalization rate here. Last check, MLS listing prices on duplexes in Portland, Oregon start at about $100,000 per unit ($200,000 each) so good luck getting that to cashflow.
The three latest properties I submitted offers on, I found myself - by the way. I look thru listings every day and find residential multi-family properties with LIST PRICES of $25,000/unit or less. Are you interested? Of course you are. If you call yourself a real estate investor and $25,000 per unit cashflow properties of 10%+ cash on cash returns doesn't EXCITE you, then let's be honest, you're not a serious investor but just a penny wetter.
I will be flipping residential multi-unit properties at 10%+ capitalization rates just for a short while - until I build up my own cash reserves and credit rating from recorded income. My ultimate strategy is to keep my properties by refinancing after raising the value by rehabbing and renting out. So if YOU are interested in getting a 10%+ return on your money and have either access to cash, or can qualify for traditional financing (mortgage), take advantage of this opportunity by getting in touch with me while I will be reselling. Either SIGN UP for the Decisive Newsletter using the form at the bottom of this page, or contact me by contact details at bottom of right sidebar.
