> Magpie Scarf
Magpie Scarf
Magpies in the Pacific Northwest have black and white plumage, but in other parts of the world they sport a variety of colors. This top-down scarf also can display a variety of hues in stripes and multi-colored yarns, as well as solid colors, but that is only one option.
It can be knit as a wide or a regular triangle in stockinette or garter stitch. The garter eyelet border is optional, and the simple feathers lace edging can end with centered picots, crocheted chains, or a plain elastic cast-off. (There is a video tutorial for centering picots in cast off.)
Since both the border and the edging can be started after any eight rows on a wide triangle or any four rows on a regular one, the size is easy to customize.
This design also is a great way to use leftover yarns, and it can be knit in a variety of handspun and commercial lace, fingering, and Shetland/sport/DK weight yarns.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Size can be customized. Regular triangles will measure twice as wide across top edge as their depth, and wide triangles will have less depth.
Yarn Amounts
Sample scarfs used approximately 400 yds (366 m) of lace (18+ wpi) and fingering (16-17 wpi) weight yarns. Shetland/ DK/sport (13–15 wpi) yarns also can be used and would require less yardage for the same size.
Needles & Gauge
Choose a needle size that gives the results you prefer. Knit a stockinette or garter swatch to test, or use scarf beginning for the swatch.
Black & White Magpie: stockinette stitch wide triangle with 2-row stripes worked to 235 sts, Garter Eyelet Border, 6 Feathers Edging repeats on 387 sts, and Centered-Picot Cast-off. Yarn: fingering weight (16 wpi)—150 yds (137 m) Color A black and 250 yds (225 m) Color B cream. Needles & Gauge: US size 5 (3.75 mm) needles and 20 sts = 4" (10 cm).

Millésime - adj. vintage, choice, high quality; classic; from a good year - pronounced (meelie zem)
François Rancé paid homage to LAETITIA, the Emperor Napoleons' mother whom he adored with this refined, extremely elegant and charmingly feminine fragrance with an intensity and character that reflected Laetitia's passionate and willful nature. The rousing Bulgarian rose and enchanting magnolia middle notes provide support for the fresh and substantial bergamot and neroli top notes. These develop from a base of patchouli and citrus labdanum, together with the intensity of Reunion vanilla, and create a captivating and seductive fragrance. This exquisite perfume is made entirely of the rarest and most highly prized natural essences which were obtained from the best vintage years of perfume refinement. In this case, Jeanne Sandra selected specifically the Bulgarian Rose and Orange Blossoms of 2005.
A Parisian craftsman hand etched the bottle with an altar surrounded by blossoming leafy branches (a symbol of vitality and joy).

They are both Type 23's (i.e. with an infantry chamber and open LAA chamber) and I must admit at the moment I don't quite know their purpose! They are not on a Stopline. Grundisburgh was not a Nodal Point. There was no Searchlight site in the area. Perhaps the answer is lurking on my hard drive somewhere, or if someone knows please leave a comment! Both pillboxes are in reasonable condition, with damage restricted to the embrasures in the open AA well. The walls are about 2 ft thick and have brick shuttering.

ROMS (Regional Ocean Model System)
Posted March 21, 2002,14:20
Institution: DMCS, Rutgers University
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Regional Ocean Model System (Roms) is a free-surface, hydrostatic, primitive equation ocean model that uses stretched, terrain-following coordinates in the vertical and orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in the horizontal.Initially, it was based on the S-coordinate Rutgers University Model (SCRUM) described by Song and Haidvogel (1994). Roms was completely rewritten to improve both its numerics and efficiency in single and multi-threaded computer architectures. It also was expanded to include a variety of new features including high-order advection schemes; accurate pressure gradient algorithms; several subgrid-scale parameterizations; atmospheric, oceanic, and benthic boundary layers; biological modules; radiation boundary conditions; and data assimilation.

Healthy Recipes Whole Wheat Cookies (Mint & Stevia)
Did you watch the Oscar last night? I fully enjoyed Billy Crystal's opening speech and singing, even though I have never heard of him (Am I too young or too old? Well, I only can remember a few: George Clooney, Brad Pitt...they are the few who are often on screen...). And the Best Actor Jean Dujardin's speech was marvelous! I thought French are reserved...he was screaming and said the "F" word (Jimmy Kimmel said!!) Another aspect of French, besides the world famous French kiss...agree?
Yeah, I was fully inspired by those Super Stars!! As I was watching the ceremony, I baked some Whole Wheat Mint Cookies...I actually had some fun-I made a "paper model" by drawing the Oscar figure and used a knife to cut the rolled dough in the figure shape. As you can see, it did take some time and efforts.
Whole Wheat Tortilla (Banana)
Superbowl Recipes-A healthy and Alcoholic version
Matcha Yogurt Raspberries
Fish Salad (with Pu Erh)
Whole Wheat Lemon Banana cake (Stevia recipe)
Chinese Cheese Burger without cheese paired with Pu Erh Tea
Gluten Free recipes-colorful pepper cups stuffed (great weight loss recipe)
I did not have the patient to make more Oscars cookies...It was fun!!
Benefits-simple, light, minty, refreshing, great for weigh-loss lovers!! Mint actually helps release throat pain. If you are a speaker or teacher, drink some mint tea is good for your throat. But good rest is always the best option.
Tea pairing-green tea or herbal tea or you can eat with dipping sauces.
4 cup whole wheat flour
6 tbsp butter, room temperature
2 eggs
2 tsp mint extract
3 tbsp stevia powder
1 cup Vanilla soymilk
1. Dump everything into food blender and just use regular speed for 1-2 minutes. I think I like the food blender more as it can make dough!!! Amazing!! If your food blender is not big enough, try to make two batches.
2 Use Pasta machine to roll the dough. I learned pasta machine is a perfect dough roller: evenly, quickly, and perfectly!! Here's another post where you can find the video as how to use pasta machine to "roll" the dough. I used #5.
3. Preheat the oven to 350F
4. Use "Star cookie cutter" to cut in shape.
5. Transfer all "super stars" to a baking tray lined with patchment paper.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges become golden.

I tried to google this (as I usually have a lot of success) but I don't think I have the search words correct.
I cannot find out how to allow XAMPP to load local php.ini files without having to put an .htaccess file with the 'suPHP_ConfigPath' for each new directory I setup. When I make changes to my live sites I often change the .htaccess file and forget that it is different from the live sites thus creating 500 errors .
What I would like to do is simply just put a php.ini file in a directory (/xampp/htdocs/project_a1/ or /xampp/htdocs/blog/) which would allow the 'local' php.ini to change the default php.ini (the one found in the /xampp/php/ext/ directory).
I know my host does this so I assume its possible. Unless of course php 5.3 doesn't support this anymore?
Could someone point me in the right direction?

ISS organized an interactive session on the use of multimedia and Smart Boards with English Supervisors of Omani schools in association with the Ministry of Education. In order to facilitate teaching learning process and to move with the modern and updated methods of teaching, ISS has equipped all its classrooms from KG to Class 12th with smart boards. The students are benefitting greatly from this initiative. On 21st March 2016 Ms. Halima A Thahli, D G Directorate General of Education in North Batinah & Regional Supervisor of English Language, English Unit Sohar DG, Mr. Anwar Al Balushi, Senior Supervisor of English Language, English Unit Sohar DG, Mr. Ahmed Al Kindi, Regional Supervisor of first dimension ( Arabic- Islamic Social Studies) Sohar DG- Private School Section visited the school and studied at length the use of multimedia and Smart Boards in the teaching of English Language.
The visitors were highly impressed by the extensive use of multimedia used by the teachers and had numerous queries about the varied uses of technology in teaching. The Principal Mrs. Sanchita Verma and HOD English Mrs. Divya Johari extensively discussed all the aspects of the usage of multimedia and Smart Boards leaving the visitors thoroughly satisfied about the efficacy of this system, impressing upon them that whereas students often lose interest during lecture-style teaching, interactive teaching style promotes an atmosphere of attention and participation, making it interesting and exciting.


text: Well summer is almost over although we are still getting some warm days and my deck garden has flourished throughout the summer. I planted egg-plant quite late in the season (after middle of August) but yet it still has produced two egg plants that are not quite ready to pick but are getting big. My succulents are growing everywhere and are quite beautiful! My polka dot begonia is more than 4 feet high and has beautiful leaves and flowers! Tomatoes are still growing and I have enjoyed eating the cherry tomatoes, red tomatoes, and yellow tomatoes. I have harvested a lot of peppers, green, sweet mini, and red, and there are still more growing. The cucumbers are almost finished now and the same can be said for the lettuce and green beans; however it was wonderful having these veggies to eat! My tropical plants are huge and it is going to be difficult to get them in the house; I will have to bring them in sideways! All my flowers have not disappointed me and are still growing strong. My Orchid Cactus's are growing but no flowers this year; next year should produce flowers. I also took a couple of pictures of my "rug rats"; Sammy, the red Chi-Pom, Nikki, my Silky Yorke, and Georgie, my Man Coon cat sleeping. Enjoy the pictures, they will probably be the last of this season!!! See you next spring!

Jon Gold's Other Video
I'm flabbergasted that Jon posted this video himself.
I guess he thinks Steve comes off poorly here, but of course to any sane person he comes off as a diligent member of the working press at what was billed as a press conference but became a pep rally. I am astounded that Jon, who I believe is Jewish, couldn't see what a favor Stephen and I did the Truthers by exposing the story of Eric William's involvement in the conference three weeks before it took place, so they could get rid of him. Instead, of course, they kept him on behind the scenes and even invited him up onto the stage the last night in a show of unity. (One video that I am sure will never be released; even Jon's not that stupid.)
The video turns into a Blair Gadsby tribute halfway through. Now who's associating Truthers with Holocaust Deniers?
The Truthers don't need debunking. All you have to do is shine a spotlight on them and they'll self-debunk.

Man found guilty in fatal Main Street shooting
A four-man, eight-woman jury convicted 25-year-old Racine, Wisconsin resident Christopher Brown of second-degree reckless homicide and second-degree recklessly endangering safety. After deliberating for almost eight and a half hours on May 18 and 19, the decision was handed to Racine County Circuit Judge Michael Piontek.
The verdict concerned the March 29, 2014 shooting death of 21-year-old Kenosha resident Dulonden Ratliff, which occurred on the 300 block of Main Street in Racine. Ratliff's sister, Kenosha resident Stasha Vargas, felt that the verdict was too lenient and said "I wish he would have gotten life for life." Ratliff's father, Kenosha resident Lawrence Ratliff, said Brown should have been found guilty of first-degree offenses, which have stiffer penalties and jail times. Ratliff is survived by his now two-year-old son, Dulonden Ratliff Jr., who was just four months old at the time of the shooting.
The attorneys at Hart Powell, S.C. see too many children of Wisconsin left without parents as a result of gun crimes. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim as court proceedings continue.

So pleased you had a fantastic time in NYC. I really enjoyed following you on instagram.
I love Poggenpohl kitchens and was exploring to get one for my house when we were renovating, but in the end it was just too expensive.
Sounds like you had a fabulous time and the food...........
Hope Alfie is feeling better. Have a wonderful Easter break xx
Hi Geraldine,
Thank you for following us, it was a manic trip - could you tell?! I am totally in love with Poggenpohl kitchens, they are just so super slick and well designed. I agree they are expensive but I guess you get what you pay for? Also, I found out they do display sales which are amazing value.
Happy Easter! Hope you have a wonderful long weekend, with at least 1 day off!

Activities: Education, Education volunteers
Starts: 1 May 2017 to 1 May 2020
Pocklington Canal
Join our new team of education volunteers working on the fascinating Pocklington Canal as it undergoes a HLF funded project. You will be working in partnership with education volunteers at nearby Naburn lock to lead school, Cub Scout and Brownie groups on canalside trails as well as running sessions in the classroom. All of our sessions are designed to inspire young people in the heritage and wildilfe of the area as well as science and geography.
This is a great opportunity for people who like working outdoors and who have previous experience of working with children. No 2 days are ever the same as we respond to the interests of the group - you could be working with Brownies to help them gain their water safety badge one day, then out on the canalside exploring local history the next!
The role requires a commitment to between 3 and 4 days per month during school hours in term time, with some evening, weekend and school holiday activity sessions.
We provide you with resources and full training on how to lead groups of children at this specific location as well as in a more traditional classroom environment. You will have the support of an education officer as well as the other volunteers in your team. We reimburse you for all travel costs.
For roles working with children we are looking for volunteers who have
The confidence to work with and talk to groups of children and lead workshop sessions
The ability to enthuse through words and activities
Desire to work outdoors
The ability to be flexible
The ability to work independently
The ability to drive to different locations
Previous experience of working with children

Here are some answers to some frequent questions when it comes to the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Baby Carrier.
Is the Ergobaby Four Position 360 a front facing carrier?
No, the Four Position 360 Carrier is a four position carrier that offers front-inward, front-outward, hip, and back carry positions. The Front-Outward position is an option for parents.
At what age can I start using the Four Position 360 Carrier?
You can start using the Four Position 360 Carrier from Day 1 with the Infant Insert (sold separately) for babies 3.2 – 5.5kgs (until age 4 – 5 months). Front-Inward is the only recommended position that should be used for infants younger than 5 months. Hip, Back, and Front-Outward positions should only be used once baby has enough head and neck support, typically starting around 5-6 months.
What is the weight limit on the Ergobaby 360 carrier?
Ergobaby recommends a weight limit of 15kgs for the carrier for optimal ergonomics, or until about 3 years of age. Ergobaby carrier will accommodate you as long as you and your baby are happy using it.
Can I also use the Four Position 360 Carrier from birth on?
As with all other Ergobaby carriers, the Four Position 360 Carrier can be used with the unique, custom configurable Infant Insert (sold separately) that allows all of our Ergobaby carriers to be used from birth for babies weighing 7 lbs/3.2 kgs and above. The Ergobaby Infant Insert works with the Four Position 360 Carrier the same way that it does with other Ergobaby carriers. Again, we want to reinforce that the Four Position 360 Carrier only be used to carry children in the 'facing out' position once they are 5-6 months old or older, and even then only for short periods. Prior to that, the "facing in" position on the parent's chest is the preferred and most comfortable solution.
Why do I need the Infant Insert and how long do I need to use it?
• The Infant Inserts are designed so that you can safely carry your newborn baby from day one if they are 3.2kgs or more, and until age 4-6 months. It is designed to provide ultimate comfort and support for baby, by providing head, neck and spine support and ensuring baby is correctly seated while in the Ergobaby Carrier. Once your baby can hold her/his head up for long periods of time and is comfortable with her/his hips in a splayed position, the use of the Infant Insert is no longer necessary. The Infant Insert is designed to grow with your baby.
• The top rounded edge of the back and neck panel can be folded outward and down to provide more neck support for smaller, younger infants.
• The removable pillow at the base of the Infant Insert provides extra height, support and cushion for baby and enables a natural seated position. For babies with strong head and neck control who could use a boost in the carrier, the pillow can be removed from the Infant Insert and placed directly in the carrier for baby to sit on. This is for small babies who have strong and consistent head and neck control (typically 4-6month age range) but are either too short to bend at the knees when seated in the Carrier or would like to be seated higher in the Carrier.
• Use the back support cushion without the pillow for larger or taller babies who still need head and neck support.
• Infant Inserts are sold separately or within the Bundle of Joy.
• All Ergobaby Infant Inserts can be used with any Ergobaby Carrier.
• NOTE: Babies grow and develop at different rates, so their transition to pillow only in carrier or without infant insert in carrier typically takes place between 4 and 6 months. Since babies grow and develop at different rates, monitor your newborn's development to decide when she/he is ready for the transition.
Up to what age can and should I carry my child in the Four Position 360 Carrier, and for how many hours a day?
Carrying isn't a mandate, but rather the most simple, healthy and easy way to transport a child while promoting a strong bond between the parent and the child. Therefore: Parents and children should together determine which position and duration is preferred and most comfortable. Follow your baby's lead and respond to his/her cues. As with all Ergobaby baby carriers, the Four Position 360 Carrier can be used from birth (with the Ergobaby Infant Insert, sold separately) for babies weighing at least 3.2 kgs up to approximately 3 years old (up to 15kgs), and allows for carrying your child in four ergonomic positions – front-inward, front-outward, hip, or back. The child's weight is evenly distributed between the shoulders and waist — ensuring long, comfortable periods of carrying.
What are the buttons at the base of the shoulder straps used for?
These buttons hold the back panel in place. For additional head and neck support (used for the inward facing positions), fold the panel up and use the top button to buckle in place. Fold the panel down when not in use and secure with the bottom button (Ergobaby logo facing out).
Up to now, Ergobaby has only offered 'inward facing' carriers. Why are they now offering a carrier where the child 'faces out'?
It is important that parents carry their children, as being carried satisfies a fundamental childhood need for closeness, physical contact and a sense of safety. Ergobaby designed the ergonomic, Four Position 360 Carrier to offer parents many options in one carrier – front inward, hip, back AND front-outward facing ("facing out"), in order to meet parents' request for this option for babies who are physically and developmentally ready for greater interaction with their environments. Important note: Ergobaby recommend that this position be used only for short periods starting from the age of 5-6 months upwards, and only when the child is awake. If the child is tired and wants to sleep, it is recommended parents change the position to an inward facing or back carry position as the preferred and most comfortable solution. Please note that our online video instructions show how you can move a baby from outward facing to inward facing without the need to put baby down.
In the past Ergobaby have championed the idea that children are subject to a great deal of distractions/overstimulation when carried "facing out". How can Ergobaby reconcile this with their previous philosophy? Is it sending mixed messages to parents?
Ergobaby view the front-outward position ('facing out') as a supplementary option for short, active periods and not as the primary carrying method over multiple hours. Now and again, situations arise where parents — and children — prefer this position. Naturally, there is a greater risk of over stimulation than with the 'facing in' position, since the child cannot actively turn away. Yet on the other hand, the ergonomic posture ensures very close body contact that allows parents to actively perceive the signals their children are giving. Parents know their children best and can tell when their child is fussy, tired or "zoned out" and it is time to switch to the 'facing in' or back carrying position. As a manufacturer of comfortable, ergonomic carriers, Ergobaby wanted to offer parents a choice of all options for ergonomic carrying. Their goal is to encourage all parents to wear their babies for as long as possible by giving them a comfortable, healthy way to do so. Additionally, by giving parents who insist that their carrier have a front-outward option a choice within Ergobaby's product line, it allowed communication with parents about over stimulation in all of the activities and products that parents choose for their baby. Ergobaby is hoping that this will make new parents more educated about all of the situations that can lead to over stimulation and make them more attuned to baby's cues that he/she is over stimulated.
How do I know if my baby is ready for Front-Outward facing position?
Once your baby can see above the front panel of the carrier, has strong head & neck control, and has a natural curiosity to see and interact with the world, they are ready for front-outward carry. Ergobaby recommend starting with short durations (5-10 minutes) to prevent over-stimulation. If baby shows signs of over-stimulation (zoned out, catatonic, fussy, tired) or sleepiness, just turn them back around to Front-Inward so they can find comfort in their wearer and rest.
Is the Front-Outward position ergonomic for the baby?
Yes, the Ergobaby 360 Carrier ensures that babies are seated in the ergonomically correct, frog-leg position with knees even to hips, and a rounded spine. This is true for all four carry positions. The bucket seat ensures baby's back will be curved – not arched, allowing baby to always be seated in an ergonomic position with all four carry positions. The seat also allows the baby's bottom to be fully supported and prevents pressure on baby's crotch area.
Is forward facing comfortable for parents?
Although Ergobaby have designed the carrier to distribute baby's weight as well as possible, parents will always find that inward leaning (front inward, hip, back) will be most comfortable for parents. If parents become uncomfortable with their baby in the front-outward position, they can quickly and easily and quickly transition their baby to one of the other three carry positions.
Can I alternate between front-inward and front-outward positions with the carrier on?
Yes you can! Just make sure you support your baby securely as you switch between the black/grey buttons on the bucket seat. Please note that the online video instructions found in 'video tab' button in each Ergobaby product listing show how you can move a baby from outward facing to inward facing without the need to put baby down.
At what age can I carry my baby in the back carry position?
Each parent and child is different, but usually around 6 months, baby will be ready to be carried on the back and parents are more comfortable with not having their baby in direct line of sight. People with larger babies who are more developed may choose to put their baby in the back carry position even earlier than 6 months, especially for longer carry times since many parents find it more comfortable to wear heavy babies on their backs.
What does Bubcarrier have to say about Ergobaby's new Four Position 360 Carrier?
We think Ergobaby have done a great job in coming up with a design that is comfortable, ergonomic for babies in all four positions, front inward, hip, back and front outward. Even though the front outward position should only be used for short periods of time don't be too quick to use the outward facing position make sure your baby is ready being your baby is the correct height that they can see over the carrier and they are strong enough to support their head and neck. It is good to know that when in the outward facing position baby is in a good seating position with legs supported and weight evenly distributed. The wearer may not find this position as comfortable as the other three positions however it does give parents an ergonomic carrier that provides this front outward position, . The waist band is supportive with its new velcro system that wraps around the whole waist, and the carrier gives good head and neck support for young babies with the padded and adjustable support. Parents need to make sure they adjust the seat position correctly in the different positions used to make sure baby is in the ultimate ergonomic position. Overall a great comfortable carrier that can be used by all care givers and gives parents and bubs to form the wonderful close relationships that are formed when carrying your baby as well as all the other benefits of baby wearing.
There is a belief that only the 'facing in' position puts children in the anatomically correct spread-legged sitting position. How did Ergobaby resolve this problem?
As one of the leading manufacturers of baby carriers, they knew that any solution that was created had to offer full ergonomic benefits in all positions. Ergobaby designed the Four Position 360 Carrier so that it has a structured bucket seat, ensuring that the correct spread squat-leg sitting position is maintained even in the Front-Outward position. At the same time, the child's pelvis is gently tipped toward the rear when placed into the carrier, so that the child's upper spine makes contact with the parent's body along its full surface, which supports the physiology of a baby's slightly rounded back.
With the front inward position, the infant's head is supported; what about when worn front-outward?
For children who cannot yet support their heads, this support is very important. Our unique ergonomic infant insert and the head supports on all of our carriers ensure this support at all stages of development. The 'front outward' position should only be used once the baby has strong and consistent head and neck control and has outgrown the Infant Insert, meaning the child fits into the Four Position 360 Carrier without the insert and is already able to support their head. It is recommend that the 'facing out' position be used when baby has demonstrated she is ready, only for short periods starting at approximately 5 months, and only when the child is awake. If the child is tired and wants to sleep, the 'facing in' position on the parent's chest or on the back is still the best and most comfortable solution.
As a parent, how do I decide: What is better for my child, facing in or facing out? And how can I know?
Parents form tight bonds with their children. Parents know their children and their children's moods and as a result, are in the best position to decide the optimal way to wear their children based on various factors, such as the situation, the child's mood and the estimated carrying time. The Four Position 360 Carrier gives parents the option of making this decision based on their own individual needs as well as those of their child. The easy-to-use carrier allows for quickly changing between the different positions when circumstances and situations change.
Is the new Four Position 360 Carrier safe?
The Four Position 360 Carrier meets high safety standards. The safety of Ergobaby's children's products is utmost priority. The Four Position 360 Carrier, as with all Ergobaby's carriers, has added safety mechanisms on the hip and shoulder belts, including high-quality clasps, carefully selected materials and a sturdy overall design. It was developed in collaboration with midwives and baby carrier consultants and extensively tested with parents of babies ranging in age from newborn to 3 years of age (15kgs).
Can I breastfeed with the new Four Position 360 Carrier? How does that work?
Yes, as with all of the Ergobaby Carriers you can breastfeed while on the go. This can be done in either the hip or front-inward carry positions by usually loosening the straps however it is important to adjust the carrier back to a safe position once finished breastfeeding.
Washing Instructions
Machine washable: Cold with mild detergent on gentle cycle. Dry on delicate cycle and remove when seams are still damp. Air dry.

Tuesday's elections shifted the balance of power in the Senate, expanded Republican control of the House and brought about several changes on key transportation-related committees. As of this hour, Republicans have gained 13 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and at least seven seats in the Senate previously held by Democrats.
While there will be a no shortage of spin from both sides about what the 2014 elections mean for each party and their prospects in the 2016 presidential election, ARTBA is focused on what the makeup of the next Congress means for efforts to advance transportation legislation over the next two years. Of all the major issues before Congress, few can rival the broad bipartisan support that transportation investment and policy reforms have routinely received. Another key advantage for the federal transportation programs is that unlike many other areas, the looming Highway Trust Fund revenue shortfall and expiration of the federal highway, transit and aviation programs in 2015 will require congressional action of some form. Despite all the spin about the "game changing" 2014 elections, we are looking at another busy year on the transportation front.
Read ARTBA's comprehensive, post-election analysis, which includes a run-down of transportation-related committee assignments in the 114th Congress; a snapshot of the gubernatorial, state-house and state-senate outcomes; and which issues will most likely be addressed in the "lame duck" session.

We raised more than double the amount we did last year for the EFF Charity auction
In 2010 we raised approximately $300 for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In 2011 we raised $500. This year (our 3rd year of operation) we raised over $1100. As with all things involved with Intervention, it seems that every year we manage to do bigger and brighter things.
The reason for that is because of your support and your attending the event. There is no man behind the curtain. Intervention is a true indie/DIY event by the community for the community. The only magic is you. Those of you who don't know me personally may not know how absolutely nuts I and my staff are when it comes to ethics and doing the best that we can for people. Just watch our trajectory.
Nice to meet you. Now you know.
You are a part of something that is both unique and a heck of a great time.
Thank you for supporting this so that we can do that. Full speed ahead! <3

Indonesian beans are hefty and plump with plenty of caviar inside. Indonesian beans have a rustic, even slightly fermented flavor reminiscent of dried fruit. Expect scents of raisins, prunes, and dried figs. This homestead flavor makes Indonesian beans perfect for pies, compotes, and jams.After you've used the bean once or twice dry it out and use it as a component for making homemade bitters or liqueurs. When dried we also love to grind this fruity bean up and add it to homemade granola.
Vanilla beans are one of the most unique, cherished, and utilized spices in the culinary world. In fact, one might say it well beats out saffron in each of these categories when you consider how nearly every home baker would fall into a state of collapse if their vanilla suddenly vanished.
Vanilla beans are actually derived from orchid plants. The vanilla orchid flower isn't a fancy one; it's rather skinny, with no inflorescence, and a pale yellow pallor that can hardly be considered appealing. Yet the orchids of the genus Vanilla aren't prized for their looks but the seed pods they produce. These seed pods are packed with vanillin – the fragrant organic compound responsible for vanilla flavor.
Vanilla orchids require exhaustive effort and attention. To begin, they only grow in very specific climates and are notoriously sensitive, even with years of selective breeding to toughen them up. The plants are carefully grafted and trellised, then the flowers pollinated by hand. It then takes the seed pods six months to form and mature before they can be harvested. The pods then go through a complicated and extensive curing process that lasts another six months before being graded for quality based on size, appearance, moisture content, and aroma before being sold.
Vanilla bean fans that we are we only sell the highest quality vanilla beans. You'll find each one to be fat, black, fragrant and wet. In other words: perfect.

The requested news item does not exist. Please return to News
HONG KONG AND MACAU, 13 January 2012 – Rent of Grade A office and warehouse property increased throughout the whole of 2011:
Office – 2011 a record year for the Beijing office market with rents rising by 41% y-o-yAccumulated new supply in 2011 reached approximately 750,000 sqm, almost the same level as that of 2010. However, new supply from lease-only projects was less plentiful, and in the case of Finance Street there was no new supply at all. This year saw 11 Grade A office projects completed, four projects, were for self-use, accounting for 42.0% of the new supply. As such, total Grade A stock increased to approximately 6.2 million sqm.
Demand in the Beijing office market remained strong throughout the year, despite uncertainties and turbulent external factors impacting domestic business growth. Total net absorption hit 860,000 sqm, indicating that 2011 was another big year in the Beijing office market in the vein of 2010. From 1Q11 to 3Q11, healthy momentum in the growth of demand for office space continued. In 4Q11, although global financial market turbulence and the European sovereign debt crisis cut the world's economic growth forecasts, the Beijing office market still experienced increasing demand, albeit with a slightly lower growth rate than in previous periods. Indeed, some hotspot sub-markets, such as Finance Street, have a number of clients waiting in line for any surrendered space.
In addition to demand for self-use buildings, mostly from domestic companies, leasing demand continued to be driven by financial services companies, consulting firms, law offices, and high-tech and manufacturing companies. Even with 750,000 sqm entering the market, overall vacancy rates continued to drop and remained at an all-time low on the back of the strong demand from both self-use owners and tenants. As of end-2011, the vacancy rate reached 9.1%. In various sub-markets most vacancy rates dipped below 10.0%, while Finance Street, East Second Ring Road and Zhongguancun saw vacancy rates even lower, within the range of 0.0- 5.0%. Two new projects, with a total GFA of about 140,000 sqm, entered the market at the end of the fourth quarter and one of these developments is not in a prime business location. Without these buildings, the total vacancy would be 7.0% with a commitment rate of 96.4%.
For the year as a whole, average net effective rents were significantly boosted by continuing strong demand and limited supply, especially in the traditional principal sub-markets of the CBD and Finance Street. In 4Q11, rents increased to RMB 293 per sqm per month (based on GFA), up 9.1% q-o-q in 3Q11 and 41.4% y-o-y.
Seven projects are expected to be completed in 2012 offering a total GFA of approximately 420,000 sqm. Leasing-only projects will account for half of the new supply, while the remaining space is reserved for self-use owners. Despite reduced economic growth forecasts and record high rents, overall demand in the Beijing office market is expected to experience stable growth in 2012 with net take-up over 400,000 sqm. The overall vacancy rate is likely to continue to remain low, at around 9%, while rent is projected to grow by the lower pace than 2011.

Physical injury to your muscles and joints can occur with workplace, household, sporting, and recreational activities. This can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint or muscle, leading to injuries known as sprains, strains, and contusions. Initial conservative management and first aid of such injuries should follow the P.R.I.C.E. principle (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) outlined below.
PROTECTION: Immobilize the injured area to protect from further injury. This can be accomplished with the use of an elastic wrap, brace, splint or sling. Walking aids such as crutches or a cane can be useful to help you get around.
REST: To ensure proper healing, rest the injured area and avoid activities that cause pain. Do not restrict all activities completely. Other regions of your body can still be used. This will help prevent physical de-conditioning. An attempt should be made to return to regular or modified activities as soon as possible provided it does not put you at risk for further injury.
ICE: Ice cubes, frozen vegetable bags, or commercial ice/gel packs are examples of cold sources that can be molded or applied to an injury site immediately. Icing will help to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in the injured tissues. Ice application should not exceed 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Allow for skin temperature to return to normal before ice is reapplied. This cycle can be repeated as often as necessary within the first 24 to 72 hours. Ice should never be applied directly over the skin for a prolonged period of time as this can damage the skin. A wet towel can safely be used as a barrier between the ice and skin and acts as an excellent conductor of cold. Do not apply ice to blisters, open cuts, or sores. Individuals hypersensitive to cold and those who have circulation problems should avoid ice.
COMPRESSION: Compress the injured area with an elastic tensor bandage. This will help decrease swelling. Do not wrap the bandage too tightly as to cut off circulation. You should not feel an increase in pain with compression.
ELEVATION: Elevate the injured area (whenever possible) above the level of the heart, especially at night. Gravity helps reduce swelling by draining excess fluid.
You should seek immediate medical care under the following circumstances: a popping sound heard during the injury accompanied by a feeling of joint instability or inability to weight bear; obvious evidence or suspicion of a broken bone, fracture or joint dislocation; or injuries at risk for infection.
By using the P.R.I.C.E. principle after an injury, you can significantly reduce swelling, tissue damage, inflammation, muscle spasms, pain, and recovery time. In the event that you suffer from ongoing muscle and joint pain following an injury, you should contact a licensed health professional who can diagnose your condition and prescribe appropriate therapy, exercises, and rehabilitation strategies specifically for your circumstance. For more information, visit www.nhwc.ca.

I have persevered through my reading, and I have made it to the book of Leviticus. Okay can I just say right now, not my favorite of the books of the bible, and I am so very thankful that we are living under a new covenant with God rather than the old covenant! I just don't know how they could keep all the rules and regulations straight, and goodness the usual punishment for not following them was death! Man, I should finish up Leviticus here in a day or two, and move on to Numbers. I wish I had more to offer, but not finding much writing material, hopefully meatier lengthier blogs soon!

While New Zealanders are up in arms about Wicked Campers offensive vans, Z Energy might be the first to rise up and take action.
Wicked Campers have received a lot of press for its vans which are covered in what people consider to be offensive phrases.
Here's Leanne Webb from Wicked Campers attempting to defend the vans.
Phrases like "Smoking's cool", "Life sucks if your girlfriend doesn't" and "Virginity is Curable" have been painted on the vans, and while some find them entertaining, some Z Energy customers clearly don't as they have suggested the service station stops allowing the vans to fill up.
Given Z Energy promotes itself as a community based service station that supports local neighborhoods, a move to stop serving the Wicked Campers appears to fit into its values. However, it says it doesn't have a firm view.
According to its Facebook page, Z Energy want to "represent what New Zealanders can achieve when they put their minds to the things that matter", so in the words of Shia LaBeouf it should "just do it".

Rogue Ales & Spirits of Newport, Oregon has announced the launch of Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout. The beer is matured in oak barrels from the brewery's own cooperage that have been soaked in Dead Guy Whiskey, distilled from its Dead Guy Ale and using Rogue Farms grain.
Rogue has for a few years now been championing the grain to glass movement in an effort to separate itself from an ever more eclectic Oregon brewing set. As well as being aged in Rogue's own barrels, Rolling Thunder, which comes packaged in 1 liter swingtops, also features barley grown at Rogue Farms. The vertical integration of the project is years in the making and seems like the pinnacle for many of the geekiest trends in beer-making. But the work involved is astounding.
Sole cooper Nate Lindquist fashions up to one barrel a day on 70-year-old French cooperage equipment. The art of the cooper is a dying one, as well as a time-consuming and costly one. Rogue hopes that the added cost in producing this beer will also add value to its shelf space, even as the brand already sits int he upper tier of Oregon pricing for its once-edgy-now-quite-conventional brands like Dead Guy.
Rogue have always twisted perceptions with unique, sometimes puzzling beers. Will the consumer buy into Rogue's attempt to add earnest, and quite extreme provenance? Or will it read as more gimmick, like the doughtnut and beard yeast beers?

As Canadians we all have a story about being south of the 49th parallel and meeting a friendly American who inevitably says, "You're from Canada? Really? Man... you Canadians are all so nice. Do you happen to know Dave from Toronto?" I'm not sure why it is always Dave from Toronto, but apparently at some point that guy had a pretty epic road trip in the States.
While we might be slightly bemused when we get asked about our relationship with Dave, the fact is that while Canada is a big land mass it is a small community. There is actually a reasonable likelihood that, as a Canadian, you may have gone to high school with Dave in Dartmouth before he moved, or you worked with him for a while at the mill in PG, or maybe you had a beer with him at the Peel Pub in Montreal. That kind of thing just happens.
So we Canadians tend to help each other out because there is a good chance we are connected in some way. We pitch in for one another as best we can. Most recently this was (and continues to be) on display with the terrible Fort McMurray wildfires. Here at Q, when we saw this picture doing the rounds, we knew right away that we, too, could help a little bit.
These firefighters have come from all over the country and beyond. They are in Fort McMurray to do an incredibly difficult job and, as the photo makes clear, they work until they can go no further. So, at the beginning of May, we donated over 2500 Q to help keep the firefighters hydrated and energized while they tackle the blaze.
Yesterday we had our own little Dave moment when we received a note from firefighter Kira Beukeboom who received some Q with her gear up in Fort Mac:
Kira and fellow firefighter Patty Massel are both former Uvixens Ultimate players, a team that has been sponsored by Q for several years now. We were happy to support them as athletes in years past and we are even more pleased that we can help them in their critical work up in Fort McMurray.
We had no idea that Kira and Patty were in Fort Mac, but that's the way the small Canadian community works. Chances are you know someone there. If, like us, you don't fight fires but would like to help out, you can check in with the Canadian Red Cross.
Stay safe Kira and Patty... and say hi to Dave for us.
