Domestic & Commercial Energy Performance Certificates Whitstable
We provide commercial EPC and domestic EPC surveys in Whitstable. We also carry out a wide range of other surveying services. If you need any kind of property survey for a building you are selling or renting in Whitstable or the surrounding area, then contact us today for impartial advice and a free, no obligation quote.
Our Whitstable EPC team can carry out commercial EPC surveys, domestic EPC surveys, SAP and BRUKL surveys for new build properties, asbestos surveys and fire risk assessments.
As well as covering the Whitstable area, we also work further afield. The new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation means that from April 2018, landlords cannot grant a new tenancy for a property with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rated below an E. We can survey your entire portfolio, wherever the properties are and whatever types of buildings are included.
When we carry out an EPC for MEES compliance we will also provide you with expert advice on the quickest and most cost effective way to improve your buildings EPC rating. Please enquire for bulk pricing for portfolios of property, no matter how big or small.
Both Domestic and Commercial EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of production. The documents we provide are compliant with regulations for both rental and sale of properties, and in the case of SAP and BRUKL surveys, with the requirements of building control. It is a mandatory requirement for all domestic and commercial properties in Whitstable and across the UK to have an EPC before they are marketed for sale or, in the case of rental property, before any prospective tenants are shown round.
Our assessors usually take around 30 minutes to carry out an EPC survey for an average 4 bedroom property, or a small commercial premises such as a convenience store.
Display Energy Certificate DEC Whitstable
Larger public buildings over 250m² in Whitstable and across the UK are required to have a DEC on display in a public place. Whilst an EPC survey just looks at the fabric of the building, heating systems and lighting, the DEC survey also takes into account 1 years worth of energy bills, and therefore looks at the way you use the building. The purpose of displaying this certificate in a public place is to allow those visiting your building to see how its energy efficiency compares to that of other similar buildings in the same sector across the UK.
Our Whitstable Display Energy Certificate assessor will be able to assess your building and provide you with the required document. If your building is under 1000m2 then the certificate is valid for 10 years. If it is larger than this then it will need to be updated every year. We only need to carry out a site visit for the first survey. Future reports are done as a desk exercise using your energy bill data, and as such are provided at a reduced price.
Asbestos Surveys Whitstable
If you own or have responsibility for a non-domestic property (such as a shop, office or industrial property) anywhere in the UK, and if it was built pre-2000, then you are required to have an asbestos management survey in place at all times. In addition, if your property previously been shown to contain asbestos then this survey has to be actioned accordingly and regularly re-inspected; normally on an annual basis. We can provide you with an Asbestos Survey in the Whitstable Area
SAP EPC Whitstable
Any new dwellings and existing dwellings that have been created through the change of use or conversion require a SAP EPC to demonstrate compliance with part L of the building regulations. Also if you are extending your property and the total window area of the extension is greater than 25% of the floor area, then building control will require you to provide SAP calculations for overglazing.
Our highly experienced team of assessors can provide SAP calculations at design stage, consultation as to how best to achieve part L compliance, and on completion of the build SAP EPC and compliance report documents.
Contact us anytime to discuss your requirements for a SAP EPC in Whitstable, for information about SAP calculations for over glazed extensions, or if you require any other advice about the thermal performance of your new build dwelling.
We will email you you the moment your report has been processed. Our turnaround time is usually less than 3 working days from the assessors visit. If you require your EPC more quickly than this then please enquire.
Easy EPC have been producing Energy Performance Certificates since they were first introduced in 2007. We pride ourselves on providing a fast and friendly service at a highly competitive price. Our dedicated team are always on hand to deal with any queries you may have. Try our competitively priced and efficient service. Contact us to book your Energy Performance Certificate today.

This is FRESH AIR. To find out what it feels like to play pro football and to play in the Super Bowl, we reached out to former quarterback Ron Jaworski who is now a football analyst for ESPN. Jaworski spent spent 16 years in the NFL, most of them with the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he took to the Super Bowl 15 in 1981. Jaws, as he was often known, had a great passing year then but a rough time in the big game.
He was intercepted three times and the Eagles lost to the Oakland Raiders 27 to 10. Jaworski's TV duties made it hard for us to get him to a studio this time of year so we caught him by telephone in New York where he's involved in ESPN's Super Bowl coverage.
Well, Ron Jaworski, welcome the FRESH AIR. I want to talk about what it feels like to play quarterback. On a pass play, by the time you take the snap from the center, you drop back and release the ball on a throw you've got, what, three to five seconds maybe?
RON JAWORSKI: If you get five seconds, that would be absolutely fantastic. Most quarterbacks in today's NFL have to read the coverage, throw the football with velocity accurately in less than three seconds. If you hold onto the ball for more than three seconds, you're likely to get whacked. So clearly it's about processing information quickly and getting the ball out of your hand and avoid contact by defenders that want to take you down hard.
DAVIES: Now, you're reading the defense and making these split second decisions about where to try and deliver the ball at the same time as some very, very big and agile and skilled athletes...
DAVIES: ...are coming at you to try and knock you down. Let me ask a naïve question. You know, when you release the ball and you're hit by one of these big linemen, does it hurt?
JAWORSKI: Yes. Yeah. I'll be honest with you - you can ask any quarterback who plays now or ever played the game, no one likes to get hit. And it is about preservation. You know, you want to play the next play. You want to play the next game. You want to play the next season. You learn how to get hit. You contort your body in certain ways so you don't take a clean hit.
Now, it doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes you are going to take a clean shot and, you know, there are always opportunities to get injured on every play. But I think, you know, through experience and as I watch guys and, you know, the guys like Russell Wilson, a mobile quarterback that runs out of the pocket and makes play and Peyton Manning who's the antithesis of Russell Wilson plays the game from the pocket, but they both learned how to protect themselves.
A Russell Wilson will slide or get out of bounds. Peyton Manning will just move around in that pocket and avoid the rush. He's not going to beat you with his legs, he's going to beat you with his movement in the pocket. So clearly, all those hours of preparation, all those hours of study, you get in that pocket, you better be aware for anything that could happen. But most of all, you must protect yourself.
Because there are 11 angry young men trying to get after you.
DAVIES: When these guys are coming at you, clearly they want to knock you down or block your pass or hurry you. Were they trying to hurt you as well? I mean, did you feel you were getting an extra shot or they'd make sure and try and come down on you hard on your throwing shoulder?
JAWORSKI: The simplest way to win in the National Football League is to knock out the starting quarterback. You know, throughout the years history has proven if your number one quarterback goes down your chances for success become very limited. So there is no doubt that there are defenses that their intent is to knock the quarterback out of the game. It's that simple.
I've heard defensive coaches in meetings, I've heard them in pregame speeches what their motives are. And if they can get a legal clean shot on the quarterback, and I'm not saying they want to hurt him, but they certainly would like to knock them out of the game.
DAVIES: All right. So when you're dropping back and you're trying to make these complex split-second decisions as you read the defense and these guys are coming at you trying to knock you down, do you feel fear?
JAWORSKI: Yes. Yeah, you absolutely do. You know they're coming after you. And this is where all the years of training - and you actually do, Dave, develop a mental toughness as well as a physical toughness. You know, your eyes can't look down. You can't look where the rush is coming from. It's a sixth sense you develop in the pocket to move around.
Your focal point must be downfield. So you know those guys are coming after you. You know they're angry, but you still have to hang in the pocket, deliver the football. And I always tell young quarterbacks the most important part of playing the position - or maybe one of - is the presnap phase where you get a pretty good indication of what the defense is going to do.
DAVIES: Did you ever have recurring nightmares of, you know, bone crushing hits?
JAWORSKI: No.
JAWORSKI: Fortunately, I have amnesia. I'm able to forget.
DAVIES: Good for you. The Super Bowl - it's not just another game. You were there in 1981 when you took the Eagles to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. What did you feel when you took the field?
JAWORSKI: It was kind of interesting. So I felt total euphoria. You know, as the season started our goal was to get to the Super Bowl. You know, we had short-term goals, long-term goals, and the ultimate goal was to get to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. We did that and there certainly was a sense of accomplishment being in the Super Bowl.
And it's kind of interesting because I do have my playbook from that year and in hindsight, because were such a goal-oriented team under Dick Vermeil I wish the goal would've been to win the Super Bowl.
JAWORSKI: Maybe we would've been a little more pointed in our approach. Not that we weren't prepared, not that we weren't ready, but because we were such a goal-driven team I think there was almost a feeling that after we beat Dallas or the NFC championship game on a cold, windy day in Philadelphia where the temperatures were 15 below as a wind chill factor, maybe there was a feeling that we had already accomplished our goal when we really hadn't.
So maybe subliminally there was a little bit of a letdown in Super Bowl 15. We did not play our best football.
DAVIES: Yeah. I've heard people suggest that you guys played your Super Bowl the week before because that was a big win over Dallas, certainly for anybody in Philadelphia. You had a great year that year leading the Eagles and it just wasn't your day on Super Bowl. I believe your first throw was intercepted?
JAWORSKI: Yeah. And, you know, when I talk to young quarterbacks now and they ask me about preparation for the Super Bowl, I'm very, very to the point when I tell them let the game come to you. It's the Super Bowl. It's a big game. We all know that. But treat it any way you can as a regular game. I know it's impossible but that's the way you have to try to do it. And don't try to make every play.
I felt in that game, in hindsight now, I tried too hard. I wanted to win so bad and lead our team to victory, I made mistakes. Or I didn't take the high percentage play, I took the low percentage play. You mentioned my first pass was intercepted. I had run that same play probably 50 times in the regular season. It was a very successful play.
I know I didn't throw an interception on it all season long, but you get to the Super Bowl and I tried to squeeze a throw in there that just wasn't there. So sometimes you can try too hard. So I always tell the young guys let the game come to you. Now, in the fourth quarter it may change when you have to make plays, but really, early in the game manage it well and don't make mistakes.
DAVIES: It's been more than 30 years now and does the sting wear off? Does it hurt less to have lost?
JAWORSKI: No, it hurts more. The Super Bowl loss actually hurts more now in 2014 than it did in 1981. For this reason: We only got the opportunity to play in one Super Bowl. And when you don't win it, the more it goes on, you realize how you didn't take advantage of the opportunity you had. And I say that because after the game we were certainly disappointed that we didn't beat the Oakland Raiders, but I think there was a sense within our football team, the coaching staff, and the organization that we were a young team.
It was only going to be a matter of time - in fact, the next year - we were going to be back in the Super Bowl and win it. So we felt we had that kind of team, that kind of organization, a great leader in Vermeil. We thought we'd back there many times. We never got back. That's why it stings even more now, that we had that one opportunity or I had that one opportunity and didn't take advantage of it.
DAVIES: Ron Jaworski, thanks so much for joining us.
JAWORSKI: Thanks, Dave.
DAVIES: Ron Jaworski played 16 seasons in the NFL. He's now a football analyst for ESPN. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Selection and Mission Statement
We strive to offer only the best of the best products worldwide. Most online shops always state the same:"We have the best, most natural products!", so what makes us different?
Please check our Beyond Natural Fitopets Selection Standard:
1) our selection of supplements are searched and verified by our Naturopaths, which are the most appassionate professionals in natural and organic ingredients. Naturopaths love herbs and whatever no side effect treatments Mother Nature has to offer. They study ingredients with passion. It's connnected with their life mission, with their soul, therefore it's effortless and not money driven.
2) We only choose brands that have high ethic values, which invest a lot in research and in sourcing the purest ingredients. We also have our ways of "verifying" the company owner or director – if he/she has whatever attitude we do not feel in alignment with our core values, we will not sell his products, even if they are very good. We believe that every aspect of a company is an extension of the people who own it and who manage it, therefore also the products.
3) we avoid as much as possible any synthetic ingredient that can be harmful or toxic to our bodies. We sell products free of GMOs, synthetic substances, gluten, dairy, conservatives, stimulants, additives, synthetics perfumes, and animal testing. 99% of our products are truly natural.
In very few cases we allow, for example, a flowing agent called magnesium stearate which is present in many supplements, and is considered generally safe, when it's not. Magnesium stearate is frequently made with low quality vegetable oils (it's cheaper) which can be loaded with heavy metals. When we do rarely accept such product in our Fitopets Selection, it is because at this moment, we cannot find worldwide a better alternative. Better for us doesn't mean only more natural, but it also has to produce results.
When we sell a product with magnesium stearate, we ask the manufacturer the heavy metal lab analysis of the vegetable oils they use to produce magnesium stearate. If it is ok, we accept the product – this is how far we go to ensure safety to our clients.
4) we obviously cannot check personally the ingredients and the production processes of all facilities worldwide, but instead we do choose brands with GMP (Good Manufacturing Policy) certification or HACCP certification, which guarantees maximum safety and quality. Where GMP certification is not necessary, we request the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets).
5) we always verify how does the manufacturer extract the ingredient, what is the technological process he uses, because it can downgrade the ingredient or considerably enhance it. The final result is the rate of cellular absorption of the ingredient. Everything depends on whether your cells can access and use the supplements you take, and at what percentage. If your absorption rate is low, you are literally throwing away your money through the window. We passionately focus on offering products with the highest possible absorption rate at a cellular level.
6) we constantly verify the market in search of new products which could be superior than the ones we already sell. When we do, we frequently switch to the new product, letting go of the previous one, even if we were selling it well. That is how badly we want to offer only the best of the best, at the cost of even losing some clients, because not everyone likes changing to a new and better solution, even if vastly superior.
Another reason why we do this is because we want to minimize your "stress of choice". Choosing between five liver cleanse products is more time consuming, than choosing the only one available. When you see that one and only product for a symptom or discomfort, you already know you're choosing the best, and no extra search and evaluation is needed, even though we always encourage it.
7) our Fitopets Selection is not based on trends, but on our experience we build through our free Naturopath Consultings Service. We only sell products we personally use and that we suggest to our clients, who are people. And people are not numbers.

Tweetbot 3.0 for iPhone brings updated design to an already great app
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Social Networking, New Apps, Videos, $2.99,
Tweetbot is the Twitter client of choice here at Gear Live HQ, and we've been delighted by the newest version, Tweetbot 3.0. Released yesterday on the App Store, Tweetbot 3.0 is an all-new app, completely rewritten and redesigned from the ground up by the team at Tapbots. If you're a user of the older version, the new Tweetbot may seem a bit unfamiliar at first, but that's just because the team stripped away old design ideas, and decided to take on iOS 7 design language, and it turned out fantastic. New functionality makes the app faster, and it's normally ready with your fully updated timeline whenever you launch it, thanks to the integration of the iOS 7 Background Fetch API. Sounds in Tweetbot are as whimsical as ever, and the whole app just feels brighter and more open. If you're already a Tweetbot user, it should be noted that Tweetbot 3.0 is a new, separate purchase. Check out a video demo after the break.
You can download Tweetbot 3.0 for iPhone now for $2.99.

Reeder 2 RSS reader now available for iPhone and iPad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: News, App Updates, New Apps, $4.99,
We loved Reeder for iOS and Mac, and the thoughtful RSS reading app was fantastic, right up until Google pulled the plug on Google Reader, a service that was essential to the usability of Reeder--at least on the Mac and iPad. Now, developer Silvio Rizzi is back with his second act: Reeder 2. Unlike the first version, Reeder 2 is a universal binary, which means that for the price of the app, you get both the iPhone and iPad versions included. The design language of Reeder 2 is updated to match the look and feel of iOS 7, and gone is the requirement and reliance on Google Reader. In its place, Reeder 2 now allows you to pull and sync data from Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, Fever, and can even act as your RSS storage app in and of itself.
You can pick up Reeder 2 now for $4.99.

Tempo Smart Calendar app adds life context to your appointments
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Business, Productivity, New Apps, Free Apps,
We gave up on the native iOS calendar app in favor of Fantastical months ago, but Tempo Smart Calendar is here to challenge for the throne. What makes Tempo so special? Well, it's made by SRI, the same group that invented Siri…yep, the same Siri that Apple later acquired. What Tempo does is pull in information from your calendar, contact list, email, and services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Foursquare. Using all of that data, it's able to pull in and give contextual data on all your calendar entries, including things like nearby parking, and the ability to send everyone else a message that you'll be late, right from within the app. Wanna wish your Facebook friends a "happy birthday" automatically? Tempo can handle that, too. Check the video out after the break, it does a great job of explaining it all.
You can download Tempo for free, right now, but you may have a challenge logging in once you have it. Tempo servers are being crushed under heavy load right now (a massive fail) and thousands are being left out in the cold currently.

One of the things that I like about baking breakfasts is that they generally make enough to last the entire week. That way I can make the breakfast on the weekend and I have quick already made breakfasts for the rest of the week. For the holiday week I knew that I wanted to make a breakfast on the weekend so that I could save time during the busy week. I had originally planned to make to make a cranberry quick bread for the week but then I saw this recipe for a cranberry coffeecake that sounded too good to pass up. I liked the sound of using cranberry sauce in a new way and a layer of tart cranberries in a sweet coffeecake sounded like a nice way to do so. I made the maple cranberry sauce that I had made a while ago and enjoyed. The coffeecake came together easily an turned out really well. It was nice and light and moist and good. The tart cranberry sauce worked really well with the sweet layer coffeecake crumbs. Now I will have quick and tasty breakfasts ready for the busy week ahead.
Cranberry Crumb Coffeecake
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup yogurt (I used vanilla, or sour cream)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup flour
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the yogurt, almond extract and vanilla extract.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the cranberry sauce on top.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
- Mix in the salt, cinnamon and flour until crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the crumbs over the cake.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Do you want to fertilize Allium in Louisiana, but don't know when the best time to do so is?
Fertilizing allium is not as easy as it seems.
Here's why:
- Allium require a specific time to be fertilized and a particular amount of fertilization.
So if you fertilize them too early they will die and if you fertilize them too late they won't bloom.
And if you fertilize too much you will "burn" your plant and if you don't fertilize enough your allium flower won't grow quickly and large enough to bloom.
Today, I'm going to teach you the ideal time to fertilize allium in Louisiana:
- To Learn More About WHEN To Fertilize Allium then read this GUIDE!
When to Fertilize Allium in Louisiana
There are two specific times you should fertilize your allium flowers:
- You should immediately fertilize your allium flowers with a 10-10-10 NPK balanced fertilizer mix. The fertilizer should either be mixed with the soil you are planting or in the hole before you transplant your allium into the ground. This will allow your plants to grow quicker and larger.
- The second round of fertilization should be applied 6 weeks before when you expect your flower to bloom. Apply a balanced water-soluble fertilizer every 2 – 3 weeks until your flower is in full bloom. This will allow your allium to have bigger and more flower blooms.
When NOT to Fertilize Allium in Louisiana
There are certain times you should not fertilize your flower plant.
- Don't fertilize seedlings that are less than 1 month old.
- Don't fertilize flower plants without immediately watering them after.
- Don't fertilize flower plants once they have large blooms.
How Much Fertilizer Should I Apply to My Flower Plants?
The amount of fertilization you apply will depend on the specific type of flower plant you have.
As a general rule, you should:
- Always follow the instructions on your fertilizer package. Never apply more than the recommended amount.
- Apply the proper amount of fertilization around your flower plant and never directly on it or on its stem.
- Provide the same amount of fertilization each time you apply it so that your allium plant does not become shocked by too many or too few nutrients.

A low cost rabies vaccination clinic, sponsored by the Forsyth County departments of Public Health and Animal Control, will be held at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter. Only 1 year vaccinations will be available. Only cash transactions accepted.
Dogs, cats and ferrets only. Dogs must be leashed. Cats and ferrets must be in carriers.
If a dog or cat is exposed to a rabid animal, and does not have a current vaccination against the rabies virus, public health law requires the animal be tested for the virus, or quarantined for a 6 month period of observation for symptoms. An animal can harbor the virus for months, but it is only within the last few days of its life that it can be transmitted through a bite. Unfortunately a dog or cat must be euthanized in order for it to be tested and not many pet owners can afford the cost of the 6 month quarantine at a veterinarian hospital.
In the past 12 months, Animal Control Officers responded to 901 reports of animal bites and rabies exposures. Most exposures occur from pets coming in contact with high risk wildlife such as raccoons, It is tragic that during this period many dogs and cats had to be euthanized for the lack of a $5 rabies vaccination.
If you have questions please contact the Forsyth County Animal Control Department at 336-703-2480.

Congratulations are in order for renaissance woman Beyoncé, who, according to GQ, is the sexiest woman of the 21st century. She'll grace the cover of the magazine's February issue—sans pants—to make it official.
Now, it should be noted that 87 years of this century still remain, so it's sort of presumptuous to declare anybody the anything of the century. But then again, she's Beyoncé, and she's pretty unstoppable, so it's probably fine. Plus, 2012 was quite a year for Bey. The year started, of course, when she gave birth to her daughter, Blue Ivy, on Jan. 7. (She appeared just a few months later at the 2012 Met Gala, working hard to earn her "sexiest woman" title in barely-there Givenchy.)
(MORE: Obama's Gift to Foreign Leaders: Beyonce)
The star also got political, netting $4 million for Barack Obama in a September fundraiser she co-hosted with husband Jay-Z. And in a move that really set the masses atwitter, she joined Tumblr in 2012 as well, providing fans with visual insight into her life and career.
And as 2013 begins to take shape, it looks like Beyoncé's momentum is only growing stronger. She's set to sing the national anthem at President Obama's inauguration on Jan. 21, recently joined Instagram, is planning a new Destiny's Child track with former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and will direct an HBO documentary (about herself). Perhaps she'll draw from her official temperature-controlled Beyoncé archive, which contains nearly every photo, video, interview and diary entry she's ever done, for the latter?
Now that Bey's earned herself the title of sexiest woman of the century, some might guess that she'd get complacent and just take a breather. But as we all know, she's a survivor, she's not gon' give up, she's not gon' stop, she's just gon' work harder.

It is 6:54 a.m. when the sun wakes Jesse Biter as it peeks through the windows of his four-bedroom penthouse.
Within minutes, his two girls, ages 10 and 11, scamper through the $3.85 million Marina Tower condominium downtown. Biter cooks them breakfast; it reminds him of his own childhood.
Driving the girls to the Bay Haven School of Basics Plus will likely be the only time Biter will use his car that day. Dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt, with a fresh shave and gel in his hair, he strolls into his office — in the four-story building he owns — by 9:30 a.m.
Biter will typically spend the next nine hours in back-to-back meetings: start-up entrepreneurs pitching potential investments; car dealers inquiring about his new company, Dealers United; and product suppliers hoping to fend off his savvy price negotiations.
Lately, the 36-year-old entrepreneur, who made a multimillion-dollar fortune developing software for the auto industry, is spending a lot of energy and time on downtown real estate. Improved housing options and a more viable entertainment scene consume him.
"He's sort of a contrarian," said Ian Black, whose real estate brokerage represents Biter. "When people say don't do it, he does it. It is how he built his business."
With half a dozen recent property acquisitions in downtown Sarasota — and two more deals in the wings — Biter appears poised to bring his vision and his properties together. If or when that occurs, he could be one of the most influential landlords in Sarasota.
For now, at least, he appears to be thinking long-term.
"I could go in there, put up luxury condos and make a ton of money," Biter said, sitting in one of roughly a dozen plastic desks — perhaps better suited for a school classroom than a corporate headquarters — that adorn his office. "That's not what I want."
The first tangible element of Biter's vision is being finalized now, as he readies plans for a 180-unit apartment complex on Second Street — one of the first major downtown residential projects proposed since the real estate market's sag some six years ago.
Biter describes the proposed 10-story complex — with its estimated cost of $30 million and units renting for $1,000 to $2,000 monthly — as "obtaining housing."
Simultaneously, Biter intends to work to enhance retail space on Main Street that he acquired when Sarasota Hardware shuttered, and possibly develop a pub on land he owns downtown.
He is among a new breed of Sarasota residents who want the city to fully enact its 12-year-old downtown master plan, which advocates greater density, a mix of uses and better opportunities for people to walk to and from work or shopping.
The difference is, Biter's money, growing portfolio of properties and expanding political influence both locally and nationally may let him bring that vision to life where others haven't.
"In business and in life, you are either growing or dying," he said. "There's no such thing as keeping Sarasota the way it is. We can either grow this city or it will die."
A knack for business
Biter grew up in a middle-class household in Philadelphia. His father was an administrator with the U.S. Department of Transportation. His mother sold real estate.
Young Jesse showed an early knack for business. If the power went out, Biter would fix clocks and other settings on neighbors' VCRs for $1 apiece. By high school, he had graduated from lawn mowing to his own car detailing and stereo instillation business.
"It was a God-given gift," Biter said. "Whenever there was an opportunity to make some money, I would do it. I never knew what I wanted to do in life, but I knew I didn't want to work for someone else. That was my goal."
Biter hit the jackpot with HomeNet Inc., a company that wired auto dealerships for cable and the Internet.
What started in 1996 with a $1,000 loan from his mother became a $16 million business 13 years later.
Along the way, a dealership asked Biter to create a website to put its inventory online. Biter knew nothing about the Web at that point, but he found a few books that walked him through it.
By 2010, that website development became so lucrative that AutoTrader, a company with $650 million in sales at the time, bought Biter's company.
He declines to disclose how much he made in the sale, citing confidentiality agreements with AutoTrader.
"It was enough money to retire for the rest of my life," he said. "But that's not me. I wouldn't know what to do with myself."
Extended road trip
Thanks to HomeNet, Biter had few money issues, but Philadelphia's weather was another matter.
Biter had never heard of Sarasota when he hopped in his car for a road trip to escape a damp, bitter Mid-Atlantic winter in search of warmth. He trekked through the Carolinas, across the Texas coast and up and down Florida.
He stopped off in Sarasota eight years ago, and never left.
He bought the Marina Tower penthouse for his primary home, snapped up some ground-floor office space for good measure, and went on to pay $1.6 million for retail space in the city's Palm Avenue parking garage.
That purchase, as much as the condo, became personal. "I wanted to have a say in the tenants that moved into my backyard," Biter said.
He now controls $4.1 million worth of Main Street storefronts, too, including the Pho Cali Vietnamese cafe and the Bullet Hole gun shop.
But his most ambitious project involved revitalizing a tired former bank building at Fruitville Road and Goodrich Avenue. Biter spent $2.8 million to buy the site, now used as an incubator for high-tech companies known as "The HuB."
His top-floor office is a reflection of his personality — there are no interior walls in the space, a movie theater popcorn maker stands by the front entrance, and a keg full of Bud Light accompanies the mini-fridge for Biter's 22 employees.
A dozen or so model airplanes sit atop black metal filing cabinets. A hobby pilot, Biter now owns, or has owned, real-life versions of each.
After school, his girls often hang out to play some intense games — bean-bag toss cornhole, foosball or maybe indoor soccer.
Biter primarily works from a computer mounted on a treadmill. A more traditional office chair collects dust off to the side.
"The only time I sit in that chair is to write checks," Biter said. "I hate sitting in that chair."
Biter's Dealers United provides office supplies for 5,400 auto dealerships across the country. He's thinking about taking the business global.
He finances start-ups, too. To date, he has taken a stake in some 50 companies — a smaller scale version of the TV show "Shark Tank."
Though he might yet make a fortune off the venture capitalism sideline, it is downtown where Biter's true aspirations seem to lie.
More livable city
Biter's ideas dovetail with a city vision scripted in 2000 by a Miami architectural firm to make downtown more livable.
The hope, in part, was that younger people would move into Sarasota.
The Downtown Master Plan 2020 prompted a special district that allowed increased residential density, from 50 units an acre to 200.
But the economy stalled before significant development could occur, to the delight of growth control advocates, and the district has since expired.
Although Biter's vision could spark another battle, it is unclear what kind of reception greater density would receive.
"There are some people who just don't like this," said senior city planner Harvey Hoglund. "They're repulsed by the idea that they could look out their window and not see everything they do now."
Biter also isn't the first young entrepreneur to propose grand plans for downtown.
Beginning in 2007, Zeb Portanova planned a $1 billion mix of condos, theater space, retail, offices and luxury hotel rooms on a North Tamiami Trail tract.
But plans for the 18-story Proscenium fizzled amid a souring economy andfunds lost to a fraudulent financier.
Biter is confident he is different, thanks in part to a tight-knit group of advisers that include his real estate team, an astute attorney and a cynical banker.
But rental investors point out that developing apartments is not an ephemeral proposition.
"This is not an investment where you can just look at your ledger at the end of the year," said Harvey Vengroff, who rents 1,400 rental units in Sarasota and Bradenton.
When he's not re-envisioning downtown, Biter spends time making acquaintances on Capitol Hill. He caught the political bug from longtime friend and local Congressman Vern Buchanan.
Last year, he managed Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum's campaign in Florida.
Later this week, he will host a $500 per plate fundraiser in his condo for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who is considered a front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.
Biter and his wife also have backed candidates with a maximum $5,000 allowed into the Santorum campaign, and held private fundraisers for others, including City Commission candidate Richard Dorfman.
Biter hasn't ruled out politics in his future.
"I never created a business plan with this stuff," Biter said. "I take calculated risks and lean on people who know more than I do."


text: Corneal abrasions are a common type of eye injury in kids. They happen when something, like sand or dirt, gets into the eye. Though sometimes painful, corneal abrasions usually aren't serious and most heal within a few days. Long-term vision is rarely affected. About Corneal Abrasions The eyeball sits inside what's called the orbital bone. The orbital bone protects the inner part of the eye, but it can't protect the part that faces out. This part is covered by a clear, transparent tissue called the cornea. The cornea helps the eye focus and protects other parts of the eye, like the iris (the colored part) and the pupil (the black part that constricts in response to light). A corneal abrasion is when something scratches, cuts, or brushes up against the cornea. Corneal abrasions can be painful, but usually heal quickly and don't cause any lasting problems. In rare cases, corneal abrasions can become infected and lead to a serious condition called a corneal ulcer. That's why it's important to have a doctor examine your child's eye if you think he or she might have a corneal abrasion. Causes The eye has other defenses besides the orbital bone. Eyelids and eyelashes work to keep foreign particles out of eyes. When particles get through and land on the cornea, tears help to wash them away. Sometimes, though, a foreign object contacts the cornea in such a way that it scratches, cuts, or damages the surface. Things that can damage the cornea include dust, sand, wood shavings, hay, sparks, bugs, pieces of paper, and even fingernails. The cornea also can be damaged by chemical irritants, improper use of contact lenses, bright lights, and reactions to things like contact lens solutions and eye makeup. Symptoms Because they affect the way the cornea works, corneal abrasions can cause problems with vision. Your child might complain of stinging or burning in the eye, of not being able to see as well as usual, or of things appearing blurry. Other symptoms can include: sensitivity to light red or bloodshot eyes swollen eyelids a watery eye and increased tears the feeling of something being in the eye (foreign-body sensation) Diagnosis If your child has any symptoms of a corneal abrasion, call your doctor. Corneal abrasions are rarely serious, but they should be checked out. The doctor can determine the extent of the abrasion and prescribe eye drops to help the healing process. To diagnose a corneal abrasion, the doctor will examine the eye and ask questions about the symptoms and what caused the abrasion. It's possible your child won't know the exact cause, but probably will remember when the abrasion happened. In some cases, the doctor will confirm a diagnosis of corneal abrasion by doing a test on the eye. A fluid called fluorescein is placed on the surface of the eye, then the doctor looks at the eye under a filtered light. Under the light, the fluorescein causes any abrasion to glow a bright green color so that it's clearly visible. Other tests the doctor might do include a standard ophthalmic exam and a slit lamp examination of the eye. These tests are done to check the eye's vision and functioning. Treatment If your child has a corneal abrasion, you'll want to have a doctor look at it as soon as possible. In the meantime, take these steps and precautions: Rinse your child's eye with clean water or a saline solution, or use an eye-rinse station if one is available. Rinsing the eye will help to wash away whatever is irritating the eye. Instruct your child to blink several times or pull the upper eyelid over the lower one. The lower eyelash may be able to brush away something stuck to the underside of the upper eyelid. Pulling on the eyelid also will make the eye produce tears, which can help wash away foreign objects. If there is something stuck in your child's eye, don't try to remove it. This can cause further damage to the cornea. Tell your child not to rub the eye, and don't touch the eye with anything like a cotton swab or tweezers. This can make a corneal abrasion worse. After examining your child's eye, the doctor might recommend treatments to help the eye heal more quickly. The doctor also can safely remove any foreign object stuck in the eye. To treat a corneal abrasion, your doctor may recommend prescription eye drops or an ointment. If your child's eye hurts, the doctor may suggest pain medications. If your child normally wears contact lenses, the doctor may instruct your child to wear glasses instead for a few days. If the corneal abrasion doesn't heal within a few days or the symptoms get worse following treatment, let the doctor know right away. Prevention To help prevent corneal abrasions, make sure your kids wear eye protection, such as safety goggles or a facemask, whenever they work with tools, handle chemicals, or participate in sports where an eye could be affected. This includes sports like racquetball, skiing, snowboarding, hockey, and lacrosse. When they go outside on a sunny day, kids should wear sunglasses designed to block out ultraviolet rays, especially in bright places like beaches and ski slopes. If you have pets around the house, make sure your kids are careful when playing with them. Cats, dogs, and other animals can act in unpredictable ways and scratch an eye without meaning to. If your child wears contact lenses, make sure they fit properly and are used as directed. Keeping fingernails neatly trimmed can help prevent accidental scratches when putting in or removing contacts. Around the house, be extra careful when anyone uses cleaning products, especially drain openers and oven cleaners. Many cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can burn eyes. And if you have plants around your yard that someone could walk into, trim away any branches at eye level./p> Back to Articles Related Articles Why Do Eyes Water?

Utah mom says shirts are 'indecent,' buys them all
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A mother upset about "indecent" T-shirts on display at a Utah mall found a quick if not especially convenient way to remove them: She bought every last one.
Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping Saturday at the University Mall in Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, when she saw the shirts in the window of a PacSun store.
The shirts featured pictures of scantily dressed models in provocative poses.
Cox said she complained about the window display to a store manager and was told the T-shirts couldn't be taken down without approval from the corporate office. She then bought all 19 T-shirts in stock, for a total of $567. She says she plans to return them later, toward the end of the chain store's 60-day return period.
The shirts cost about $28 each on the website for PacSun, which sells beach clothes for teenagers and young adults.
"These shirts clearly cross a boundary that is continually being pushed on our children in images on the Internet, television and when our families shop in the mall," Cox said in an email to The Associated Press.
The story was first reported by The Daily Herald of Provo.
An employee at the Orem store said Tuesday she wasn't authorized to speak about the issue and referred questions to the company's Orange County, Calif., corporate headquarters. PacSun CEO Gary Schoenfeld said in an emailed statement the company takes pride in the clothes and products it sells, which are inspired by music, art, fashion and action sports.
"While customer feedback is important to us, we remain committed to the selection of brands and apparel available in our stores," Schoenfeld said in the statement.
Orem is a city of about 90,000 in ultraconservative Utah County that uses the motto "Family City USA." Most residents belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which frowns on pornography and encourages its youth to dress and act modestly.
City code prohibits anyone from putting "explicit sexual material" on public display. The city defines that as "any material that appeals to a prurient interest in sex and depicts nudity, actual or simulated sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sadomasochistic abuse."
Orem city attorney Greg Stephens said he met with Cox Tuesday and explained to her that she needs to file a complaint with police. Stephens said police will review the issue first and decide whether it needs to be passed on to the city attorney, a process that could take weeks.
Cox said she wants her actions to make clear that these types of images are not acceptable for public display.
"I hope my efforts will inspire others to speak up within their communities," Cox said in an email. "You don't have to purchase $600 worth of T-shirts, but you can express your concerns to businesses and corporations who promote the display of pornography to children."
Longtime mall manager Rob Kallas said the display is down now because Cox bought all the shirts. He said the PacSun store manager told him she was embarrassed to put up the display but was following instructions from corporate managers.
Kallas said this is the first time he's received complaints about PacSun. But in the past, others have complained about images in the windows of Victoria's Secret. That's led to Orem city attorneys at least once asking the store to remove an image, he said.
Kallas didn't see the T-shirts in question until getting an email from Cox, but he said he agrees that they were inappropriate. Victoria's Secret has images of women in lingerie, but their clientele is different, he said.
"This is a store that caters to junior high and high school age kids," said Kallas, mall manager for 40 years. "Some of the poses were provocative and were inappropriate for a store catering to young people."
PacSun has 600 stores across the United States, the company's website shows.

ORLAND, Calif. — The long bus ride north from Los Angeles for a group of high school students who planned to visit Humboldt State University had been fun: The hours whizzed by as they watched movies, chatted up new friends, and jammed to hip-hop on the radio.
Steven Clavijo, 18, a senior at West Ranch High in Santa Clarita, was looking forward to his visit to Humboldt, where he planned to enroll. Just as Clavijo was trying to catch a nap Thursday afternoon, he said he felt the big vehicle begin to shake from left to right and then he heard a loud boom.
"We knew we were in major trouble," he said.
A FedEx tractor-trailer had crossed a grassy freeway median and slammed into the bus. Ten people were killed in the fiery crash, including both drivers, authorities said.
Many of the more than 40 students on board escaped through a window that someone had kicked open, Clavijo said, running for their lives to the other side of Interstate 5 before hearing an explosion and seeing the bus burst into flame.
As he jumped out of the window, Clavijo said, he dropped his glasses and scraped his knee.
Two more explosions soon followed, he said, and he and other survivors looked on knowing others were still trapped in an inferno.
Massive flames could be seen devouring both vehicles just after the crash, and clouds of smoke billowed into the sky until firefighters doused the fire, leaving behind scorched black hulks of metal. Bodies were draped in blankets inside the burned-out bus.
In addition to the drivers, three adult chaperones and five teenage students were killed in the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol. Their identities were not immediately released. The bus carried between 44 and 48 students, four chaperones and the driver, the patrol said.
The crash happened a little after 5:30 p.m. on the interstate near Orland, a small city about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
The bus was one of two that the admissions office at Humboldt State University had chartered to bring prospective students from Southern California to tour the Arcata campus, Humboldt's Vice President of Administrative Affairs Joyce Lopes said.
The bus was owned by Silverado Stages, a tour bus company based in San Luis Obisbo. The company said in a statement on its website Thursday night that it was assisting authorities in gathering information.
"Our top priority is making sure that the injured are being cared for," the company said.
Humboldt State President Rollin Richmond issued a statement on the school's website. "Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we are here to support them, and their families, in any way possible," Richmond said.
The students came from a number of Southern California high schools and Humboldt spokesman Simon Chabel said the college was working to confirm where in Southern California all the were from.
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy said an unknown number of students from Manual Arts Senior High School and Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools were on the trip. He did not know whether they were on the bus involved in the crash.
A high school senior from Alliance Renee & Meyer Luskin Academy High School in Los Angeles said she and a few of her classmates who were accepted to the university were invited to go on the tour.
Sabrina Garcia said the tour began Thursday, with buses taking students in Southern California on the ride to the campus for a three-day stay there. She said she decided to postpone the tour because she had a school project to complete.
"I was devastated when I heard about the crash, and relieved that I didn't attend," Garcia said. "I can't imagine how those kids feel. You think you're going somewhere safe with your school — and you end up in an accident."
A CHP dispatcher says the bus and truck were on opposite sides of the freeway when the truck crossed the median and slammed into the bus, causing an explosion and fire.
Investigators say the truck driver might have been trying to avoid a passenger car that was also involved in the crash, which shut down north- and south-bound traffic on the freeway.
"There was a small white sedan in front of the truck," Heitman said. "The FedEx vehicle did sideswipe the sedan before it crossed the median."
No one in the car was injured.
A first responder who helped set up a triage at the scene said 36 or 37 people received injuries ranging from minor to severe burns, broken legs and noses, and head lacerations.
"The victims were teenage kids. A lot of them were freaked out. They were shocked. They still couldn't grasp what happened," said Jason Wyman of the Orland Volunteer Fire Department.
Nine people were taken to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, hospital spokeswoman Christina Chavira said. Two of those patients were listed in critical condition, said Denise Atkinson, an Enloe nursing supervisor.
Another five were taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding in fair condition. One patient was admitted to the burn unit of University of California, Davis, Medical Center in critical condition.
A nursing supervisor said three people were taken to Oroville Hospital in Oroville. She declined to describe their conditions, citing patient privacy laws.
Bonnie Kourvelas, a FedEx spokeswoman, said in a statement Thursday night: "Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the tragic accident on I-5 in California. We are cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate."
The American Red Cross set up a relief station at a Veterans Memorial Hall community center in Orland, about five miles from the crash site. Officer Joel Lynch said seven victims who were not hospitalized with injuries were staying the night with about 25 volunteers. A community member ordered pizza for the students.

The Spiders are 12th (out of 14 teams) in the AL in runs scored (222); the Red Sox and Yankees are tied for first, with 314*. When Cleveland has allowed more than four runs in a game this season, they are 1-29 (Boston is 10-17).
* In fact, among all MLB teams, the Red Sox are first in OPS (.851) and second in OBP (.351), slugging (.464, .006 behind Toronto), home runs (79) and doubles (136, 1 behind Toronto).
Cleveland is hitting .239/.308/.365 over its last 20 games, and is 8th in team OBP and 12th in slugging in the AL. Austin Kearns (.309/.386/.475) and Shin-Soo Choo (.283/.382/.458) are their top hitters and Russell Branyan leads the team with a .482 SLG. Boston has four players slugging over .500.
The Spiders' pitching staff has the worst ERA in the AL (4.84) and worst WHIP (1.559); those numbers rank them 27th and 29th, respectively, among the 30 MLB teams. Carmona (3.53 ERA) and Mitch Talbot (3.54) are their best starters. The Red Sox will face Talbot on Thursday.

1938 - At Fenway Park, Cleveland pitcher Johnny Allen is told by the umpire to cut off part of his dangling shirt sleeve so the batters will not be distracted. Allen refuses and walks off the mound.
2000 - Blue Jays pitcher Clayton Andrews hits an apparent single to right field for his first major league hit, but Atlanta's Brian Jordan is playing shallow, and Jordan throws Andrews out at first base. Jordan will throw out a total of three runners at first base during the season.

Alyson Clair of Clair Vintage Inspired is taking it away again with a super hot topic on knits. Enjoy! - Gertie
Hello again lovely readers! I hope you are working on all kinds of fun projects. This post is to address a burning question: how to sew knits on a home sewing machine without a serger.
Can it be done? Yes. Do I recommend it? No, but I do understand that sergers are not cheap and it is a major investment to buy one.
I wish I had a magical unicorn answer about how to sew knits on a home machine and achieve the same results as using a serger. To me, the point of sewing with knits is to get stretch and comfort in a garment. One of the reasons I got so personally interested in sewing these fabrics was my own body. I know throughout the month I fluctuate in body weight and size, no matter what my current weight is. I feel like knits are my friend - if I'm a little bit more robust around the middle they can grow with me.
Which is all to say: when you sew on knits, you want the stitching to stretch as much as the fabric. This is key, or your garment will literally fall apart at the seams! Hearing the noise of stitches popping is almost like nails on a chalkboard, knowing that I'll have to mend the damage. So to avoid this, I'll give you the best tips I have and hopefully the below photos will help you with what I'm talking about.
(Warning: I'm also a stickler for finished edges, raw edges make my eye twitch and can be the demise of a regularly worn garment.)
First let's start off with the fabric. If you are just starting in on knits, my advice would be to stay away from fabrics that are powermeshes, 4-way stretch, and high lycra contents. They all have the tendency to be slippery and really stretchy. Try something of a t-shirt weight, or that doesn't stretch in more than one direction. (Tip: if you are looking for a good quality knit, try a smaller store in town. Sometimes the large mega stores don't have the best quality goods. In buying fabric, I like to shop around.)
Some of you had mentioned the fabric was rolling when trying to sew with knits. A lot of lighter weight knits (and the kinds mentioned above have a tendency to do so). Before you buy, tug on the end of the fabric and see what it does. If it rolls at the raw edge, put it down and slowly walk away, no matter how pretty. My next post will be what to look for when fabric shopping.
I know there are methods of setting your machine's tension to have a straight stitch with some stretch. I personally still wouldn't ever trust a straight stitch to sew and last in a knit garment. (Then again, I beat up my clothes a bit, so I try to make the pieces in my line stand up to my own wear and tear.) For anything with stretch, your zig zag function is going to be your best friend. This stitch is designed to stretch. In your own closet look for it on decorative lingerie elastics around bust cups or leg openings, contrast topstitchings, bra straps if they have a stretch lace on the elastic strap, and one reader has even seen this stitch on hems. This stitch is also relied on for garments used in the medical and sports wear industry: two places where garments really have to stand up to wear and tear.
I wanted to demonstrate what happens to stitches when fabrics stretch: Straight Stitch vs. Zig Zag. So I sewed some examples up to better show what I am talking about.
For this example I picked a heavier weight knit (without any lycra) that does not roll when stretched. I cut out 2 rectangles and sewed them together with a straight stitch at regular tension settings. Finished, the seam is about 5" long. I also bartacked at both ends. I did this because I knew when I stretched the fabric the thread would come loose from an end.
I then took the fabric and stretched it. I only got about 1 1/2" stretch before the thread broke.
Just think: this seam could be representative of a shoulder seam. If you have a garment with no zippers or buttons, you have to rely open the knit fabrics stretch to get it on your body.
Next, I did the same example with a zig zag stitch.
Then I stretched it as far as I could make the fabric go, which was 8".
Now that we've established the zigzag stitch as the winner in this round, let's move on to machine settings. I don't have one exact setting that does the trick, since everyone's machines are different. My advice would be to use the widest stitch that your machine does. I would estimate this is 1/4" due to the opening on your presserfoot for the needle to sew. On patterns with knits the seam allowance should be 1/4"-3/8" wide, since this is what the majority of sergers sew at. With the zig zag stitch you are essentially trying to mock a serger, so you don't need to worry about pressing any seams open. The zig zag stitch should cover most of your seam allowance. If your patterns seam allowance is larger, go ahead and trim it down.
As always, test your fabrics first on your machine to make sure the machine settings, thread, needles, feed dogs, and fabric are all happy together. One of the hardest things for me to get the hang of was the feed dog settings. I would try sewing things and the top fabric would end up longer than the bottom that was against the feed dogs. You may want to pin your fabrics to make sure this doesn't happen to you. I know I had a lot of quality time with my seam ripper the first few months I was learning!
Another thing I wanted to address that a few readers commented on was stay tape. Personally, I have never used this product. I was actually at the fabric store today and I looked at it to gather some more info on what exactly it is. It looks pretty interesting and I may play with it in the future. If you are going to use it on knits, make sure you get the kind made specifically for knits, that stretches.
The only seam stabilizer that I use with knit garments is clear elastic.
I like this product because it has great stretch and return. (Don't worry, you don't have a to buy a whole spool! Most stores will cut you what you need.) You may commonly see it in shoulders, waists, and under bust areas in commercially made knit garments. My only complaint is that it can be a bit tricky to get the hang of using since it can be grippy on feed dogs and presser feet. I love it though, because I can pull as hard as I can and not break it, and it always goes back to shape. (I like to try to "break" things to see how my clothes will hold up). If you have a serger with a lot of attachments, there is a foot that feeds this into your garment much like a binding foot. (I don't have one, since apparently I like to torture myself when I put it into garments).
A good way to get familiar with handling clear elastic would be to install it in a shoulder seam. For easier handling, I don't cut the elastic down to the size of the seam I am sewing. I just cut it after I am finished sewing it in. You may sew it in at the same time you are sewing the seam. I would recommend putting it on top of your top piece of fabric that goes against the presser foot. If you have a variety of feet with your machine see if you have one with a special coating that allows the elastic to glide against it better (sometimes called a Teflon foot or non-stick foot). If not (I don't have one of those either), try tissue paper. I know it sounds odd, but it works. Then you can just tear it off when you are done with the seam.
Let me know if you have more questions about sewing knits with a regular machine. My background is more in industrial manufacturing, so please share tips or things that work for you guys at home. I love playing with new things on my machines.
Back to sampling sundresses!

I had been coming across this recipe for jalapeno popper dip on sites like Big Red Kitchen for a while and I had just been itching to try it. I really like jalapeno poppers and this dip has all of the elements that make jalapeno poppers so good, from the jalapenos to the cream cheese and cheddar cheese to the crunchy bread crumb crust. With the temex kick that I have been on lately it was the perfect time to try this dip out. The jalapeno popper dip was easy to make and the results were great! I increased the amount of jalapenos and added some fresh jalapenos for even more jalapeno flavour and heat. The dip was nice and warm and gooey and oh so tasty! I really enjoyed the spicy cheesy dip and its crunchy topping and I will definitely be making it again. I served the jalapeno popper dip with lime tortilla chips for dipping.
Jalapeno Popper Dip
A hot cheesy dip inspired by the flavours of jalapeno poppers with a crunchy panko bread crumb topping.
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapenos (pickled), drained
- 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
- Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, parmesan and jalapenos in a bowl and pour into a baking dish.
- Mix the panko bread crumbs and parmesan and sprinkle over the dip.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the sides are bubbling and the cheese has melted and turned golden brown on top, about 20-30 minutes.
Tip: Add crumbled bacon for the bacon wrapped jalapeno popper version!

R.I.P.D. stars Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Jeff Bridges and is due to bust holes in the big screen on July 19, 2013
Plot: Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure "R.I.P.D." as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.
Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Bridges) has spent his career with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth.
Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star detective Nick Walker (Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.'s finest must miraculously restore the cosmic balance…or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way. – ComingSoon.net

Physical health problems occurring during adolescence can often complicate adolescent development. Illness, injury, medical treatments, hospitalization, and surgery can all intensify concerns about physical appearance, interfere with efforts to gain independence, and disrupt changing relationships with parents and friends. Also, adolescent developmental issues may complicate a teenager's ability to cope with illness and response to treatment.
While some of these youth have to cope with additional physical and mental disabilities as a result of their primary illness, all of them have to deal with the psychological consequences of their condition. The main focus of adolescent medicine involves addressing the medical and treatment needs of the adolescent's illness, condition, or injury.
Complementary to this, adolescent medicine also anticipates and assesses developmental complications associated with the health care needs of the specific medical problem. Doctors and other health care providers in adolescent medicine assist adolescents and their families in developing strategies to deal with developmental issues and the complications and conflicts that may erupt between illness, treatment, and developmental needs.
Along with treatment, we provide educational services on topics such as:

Yeah, finally I gotten the ramekins that I am looking to buy for long long time. Maybe some of you will wonder why so difficult for me to buy the ramekins, this is because where i living now is only a small town, and i can only get those basic baking tools and equipments.
When I first see Shirley (kokken69) tried Ellie (Almost Bourdain) 's Lemon, lime , orange souffle, i immediately bookmarked this recipe. And Shirley 's blue ramekins look just gorgeous! But I'm happy to get this ordinary white ramekin for time being. If I visit to SG next time, I must get some of these blue ramekins.
Anyway, I scaled down the original recipe to 1/4 only for a trial. I also twist a bit of the original recipe, as I wanted to try adding lemongrass into baking after i tasted Swee San's special dessert in our recent blogger meet up (she added leomgrass), the lemongrass aroma in her dessert is unforgettable.
This is my 1st time tasted souffle, the texture is similar like Chinese's Tau Foo Wah, quite good. The lemongrass aroma was wonderful and unforgetable.
Orange and Lemongrass Souffle
*make 4 x 3" round ramekin, and 2x 2.5" round ramekin
(source: original recipe from Almost Bourdain, with minor changes)
Fruit mixture
115ml orange juice
1 stalk lemongrass, white part only
25g caster sugar
1tsp corn flour
1tsp water
Egg white mixture
3 egg white (medium), room temperature
Pinch of salt
25g sugar
15g butter, softened
20g caster sugar
Icing sugar, for dusting
1. Blend lemongrass together with orange juice, and strained. Add little bit of lemongrass into orange juice, set aside.
2. Place orange lemongrass puree and sugar in a saucepan over medium flame, stir till sugar dissolve and bring to boil.
3. Mix corn flour with water, reduce heat to low flame, slowly whisk the corn flour paste into fruit puree a little at a time. Continue whisk till puree turn thicken and do not allow mixture to boil again.
4. Remove from heat and set aside till cool completely.
5. Brush the base of ramekin with the butter, then, using upward strokes and brush the sides. Chill in the fridge until set, and then repeat for one more time and chill.
6. Beat egg white with salt to foamy, slowly add in sugar and beat till soft peak.
7. Place the cooked fruit puree in a large bowl, lightly whisk till smooth. Add little of the egg white mixture and whisk to mix well. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture.
8. Pre-heated the oven at 180c/350F.
9. Bring out the ramekins from fridge, sprinkle caster sugar to coat the base and sides of ramekins.
10. Use a small spatula, to spread the soufflé mixture around the sides while holding the ramekin at 45-degree angle. Fill the middle and smooth the top.
11. Bake for 12-14mins or until golden and well risen.
12. Dusted with icing sugar and serve immediately.
** Drop me an email if you would like to know where to get this ramekin. Thanks to Swee San for direct me to this shop.
