Enginuity Sets a Progressive Standard for Energy and Cost Savings
Located in Mechanicsburg, PA, Corporate Center 15 was built in 1989 to serve as office space for local companies. Szeles Real Estate Management Company (Szeles) bought the building in 2010 after it went into foreclosure, and was immediately interested in updating the building both cosmetically and mechanically. "When we bought the building, the controls had been neglected for years and were outdated. The building's electric costs were over $3.50 per square foot in a building that was only 60 percent occupied," says Todd Shutt, Property Manager at Szeles Real Estate Development. That's when Szeles reached out to Jeff Winterborne, a partner at Enginuity, LLC (Mechanicsburg, PA), to devise a renovation plan.
Enginuity, a company that's name is a play on the words engineering and ingenuity, was founded in 2002 by Jeff Winterborne and his two business partners, James Elash and Jim Mooney. Specializing in commercial and industrial HVAC and plumbing work, Enginuity has received praise both locally and nationally. They have landed on lists such as Entrepreneur Magazine's "Hot 100" list, featuring the fastest-growing new companies in the United States, Inc. 5000's annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country, and Central Penn Business Journal's "50 Fastest-Growing Companies" (an honor the company received four years in a row). Enginuity's success at Corporate Center 15 serves as an example of the high-quality work that the company has put out in the past decade.
The Energy Audit
Winterborne and energy engineer JP Kloske started the renovation process with an energy audit. The primary purpose of this audit was to: 1) monitor the building to get a feel for how the mechanical systems were functioning and, 2) assess whether the lights were working effectively and efficiently. Enginuity collected over a year's worth of Corporate Center 15's utility data and used this data to establish a benchmark to measure against future developments. Enginuity also used ENERGY STAR®'s online Portfolio Manager tool to calculate the building's ENERGY STAR rating at the time. Throughout the monitoring process, Enginuity found that one of the key areas of improvement would have to be in the building's lighting system. Corporate Center 15's scheduling system was not set up in a way that allowed Szeles to take advantage of night and weekend setback opportunities. Additionally, the building's temperature control system was inefficiently heating and cooling. Lastly, the building's lights were not being regulated properly, which was causing certain lights to remain on 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Planning for Success
After evaluating the audit results, Enginuity devised a two-part plan. The first part of the plan required updating all fluorescent lighting from T12 to T8 — a project that was outsourced to a subcontractor. The second part of the plan was to overhaul the building's automation system. Enginuity was able to reuse 50 percent of the building's original Trane system and replace the other 50 percent with a new Trane tracer. Although these developments were the most time and energy intensive, they resulted in the highest return on investment for Corporate Center 15.
Through the successful implementation of these two developments, Enginuity increased the building's ENERGY STAR rating by 120 percent, from a score of 31 to a score of 68. Additionally, Enginuity was able to cut the 56,000 ft2 building's cost per square-foot from $3.50/ft2 to $1.83/ft2 (saving Szeles approximately $94,000). The total cost of the project was $101,200. However, this cost was cut in half as a result of custom rebates amounting to $50,000 in incentives. Overall, Enginuity has achieved annual savings of 227,749 kWh and $47,743 for Szeles.
While the project was a huge success, it came with quite a few challenges. Winterborne says, "All of this had to be done while the building was occupied. We had to minimize the discomfort to the tenants, which is always the biggest challenge in a project like this. If you're overhauling a substantial portion of the control system, you have to take things offline periodically. Logistically, it becomes very challenging." To overcome this challenge, Jeff and his team worked evenings and weekends.
Energy Savings + New Business = Everybody Wins
The savings earned from Enginuity's work with Szeles on Corporate Center 15 has prompted the owners to employ Enginuity to work on multiple green projects at their other properties. It has also motivated Enginuity to expand its energy department. Winterborne says, "Our goal is to have a small group functioning completely separately from the company that is devoted to just energy work." The nine-month return on investment on a project that only took three months to complete, coupled with substantial improvements in the overall efficiency of Corporate Center 15, makes this project a huge success.

UK Men's Basketball
Monk's sizzling shooting helps UK freshmen shine on the big stage
Kentucky's first game on a big stage this season contained a distinct Big Apple theme. If the latest version of the Cats could make it there, they could make it anywhere.
A 69-48 victory over No. 13 Michigan State started spreading the news: Another freshman-dependent Kentucky team can compete.
Freshmen scored 45 of the points in a game Kentucky led for the final 33-plus minutes.
"They don't play like ordinary freshmen," said a relative graybeard, sophomore Isaiah Briscoe. "And I'm comfortable with them. And I wouldn't trade those guys for anything."
Guard Malik Monk led the way with 23 points. He made seven three-pointers, which was one shy of the most by any UK player in a game in John Calipari's eight seasons as coach. Jamal Murray and Eric Bledsoe made eight in 2015-16 and 2009-10, respectively.
Monk's sizzling shooting perhaps put to rest another question lingering in the air: Can Kentucky shoot well enough from the perimeter in a season that figures to have many opponents' defenses sagging into the lane and hoping?
In its first two games, Kentucky made only nine of 34 three-point shots. Monk, who came to UK with a reputation as a streaky shooter, made only three of 12. He more than doubled his makes from beyond the arc against Michigan State, which sagged its defense in the lane.
"I was just preparing real good with Coach Cal (John Calipari) and Coach Kenny Payne," Monk said. "(They) told me to get lower, and just be more in tune with my shot. And that's what happened."
When asked what he meant by being in tune with his shot, Monk said, "Staying low. Stepping into the shot. Not being casual as Coach Cal likes to say."
Calipari credited "an unbelievable shoot-around" for Monk's seven-for-11 three-point shooting.
"One of the best shoot-arounds that any of my players has had in the last few years," Calipari said.
Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo acknowledged how well Monk shot.
"He hit some big threes early unguarded on the break, which they're very, very good at," he said. "Then he got going and goes seven for 11. He was the only guy who hit the three."
Monk's teammates missed all 10 of the three-point shots they took.
Briscoe added 21 points for Kentucky, while De'Aaron Fox chipped in 12.
Michigan State, which lost to Arizona 65-63 in its opener, fell to 0-2. The Spartans' star freshman, Miles Bridges, scored six points and committed nine turnovers.
The victory, which improved No. 2 Kentucky's record to 3-0, put into action the confident words the freshmen uttered last weekend.
"I think our team is ready to play anybody," Bam Adebayo said. "We have the heart. We have the guts."
A Kentucky-Michigan State game carried cache. It was played in the gaudy-named Champions Classic in Madison Square Garden, also known in New York as "the world's most famous arena."
Briscoe, who grew up in nearby Newark, N.J., had empathy for his freshman teammates. "It's tough to play in the Garden your third game of the season," he said. "They played well."
Fox had all but shrugged at the prospect of playing in such a game. "I don't have anything circled on the calendar," he said last weekend.
Fox and his teammates backed it up.
UK's freshmen showed they belonged early and often in the first half. Led by Monk and Fox, freshmen scored 14 of the Cats' first 16 points.
By halftime, with Kentucky leading 34-26, freshmen had scored 24 points.
Monk led the way with 14 first-half points. He hit three three-pointers along the way.
The only non-freshman to score for Kentucky in the first half was Briscoe. He didn't shoot well from beyond the shadow of the rim, but five layups accounted for 10 points.
Briscoe set the halftime score. He took an inbounds pass at the rim with 2.1 seconds left and laid in a heavily contested shot.
Kentucky matched its largest lead of the first half before the first TV timeout of the second half. Monk's fifth three-pointer put the Cats ahead 43-31 with 15:53 left.
With the season only five days old, Calipari cautioned against an over-reaction to how well Kentucky's freshmen handled the setting.
"Same freshmen that played against Canisius and were down three (late in the first half)," he said. "We've got a long way to go.
"This shows us what we're capable of. Now, we have to build on this and convince them of that."

The Miami Dolphins' payroll slashing rolls on.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the team will cut defensive tackle Randy Starks. The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero first reported the news of Starks' impending release.
The move will save the Dolphins $5 million in cap space. We continue to wait for the announcement of the team's massive deal to bring Ndamukong Suh to South Beach. The parameters for a deal were set over the weekend, but Suh has not put pen to paper yet. Perhaps this move will allow it.
Losing Starks takes some luster off what should still be a dominant line once Miami signs Suh. However, it's likely the team couldn't justify keeping the 31-year-old at that salary after giving Suh the largest contract ever for a defensive player.
Starks remains a very solid interior lineman with the ability to push the pocket and get after the quarterback. The tackle's strengths would have made him a good running mate for Suh -- assuming Starks doesn't take less money to return to Miami.
Likely becoming a rotational player at this stage of his career after struggling against the run last season, Starks should have no trouble finding work in a market perpetually in need of pocket-pushing interior linemen.
UPDATE: Suh has arrived at the Dolphins' facility.
He's here. #SuhSighting pic.twitter.com/PAtuFb2i65â

If the latter is the case, you will probably be interested in the services that we provide. Our company specializes in floor restoration services, and we can service practically any type of floors in a wide variety of different settings, and we can get them clean and keep them that way. If you want to know more about the services we offer and the types of floors that we maintain, keep reading the paragraphs below.
Types of Floors
We service various types of floors, including tile, laminate, wood, stone, and even concrete. We also provide services for composite floors that are made of more modern materials that might not have been used several years ago. The truth of the matter is that the services we provide involve the cleaning and restoration of practically any type of floor you could possibly imagine. As long as the floor isn't carpeted, there is a better than average chance that we can not only clean it but maintain it and keep it looking its best from then on.
Proper Maintenance Makes All the Difference
Just as with practically anything else, proper maintenance really does make the difference between having floors that look great and are safe to walk on or dealing with one issue after another. If your floors are not properly maintained, they obviously are not going to look their best. However, there is more involved than mere aesthetics. The floors might become difficult to walk on because they are so slick you can't keep your footing. They could become badly damaged, even to the point where you think they need to be replaced. Our company uses high-quality tools and products, along with the latest procedures, in order to maintain the quality of your floors. Better yet, we can typically get through years of low maintenance in order to reveal the floor that really exists underneath all of the buildup and debris. In other words, you might be able to get floors that look good and that are safe without having to replace them.
Additional Services
In addition to cleaning the floors, we also provide the additional services of grout cleaning and restoration, as well as sealing the grout in order to prevent it from becoming damaged in the future. That means that you get clean floors that are really clean, not just floors that are scrubbed while the grout is still dirty and looks terrible.
Floor Cleaning & Restoration Services
Our company is capable of effectively removing years of gunk and buildup from your floors. After that job is completed, we are more than happy to work with you in order to find a consistent maintenance plan that works for you. That way, you can keep your floors in great shape. You'll notice the difference almost right away. In addition to being able to walk on your floors with more confidence, you will also notice that they look better because they are cleaner. This also means that they're safer for anyone that happens to come into contact with those floors. In a commercial setting, you want them to be clean because you're dealing with high traffic areas and people from all walks of life are traveling over those floors. It's even more important when you are in a residential setting because you have loved ones that might be spending time sitting on those floors and you want them to be clean, not full of germs and bacteria.
In closing, you need a company that you can really count on. This is where it is important to ensure that you contact someone that knows what they are doing. You want somebody that has the knowledge and the expertise to get the job done and you also have to hire a company that has the tools that are necessary to do it right. That is why it is so important that you contact us. If you really want your floors to look their best and be safe, there is no reason to wait. Contact us right away and let us see what a difference we can make for you.

Iraqi Bundles of Love
I haven't been stashing yarn and fabric for that long, but I stumbled across a very compelling project on one of the blogs I read, Pink Chalk Studio, who also runs a fabulous online fabric shop, btw. It's called Iraqi Bundles of Love. In short, the idea is to gather raw sewing and knitting supplies and notions and send them off with IBOL guy to distribute to local people where he's stationed. I think it's awesome. Time to de-stash!!

Viceroy Los Cabos Wedding
Viceroy LOS CABOS Wedding
Paseo Malecón San José
Lote 8, Zona Hotelera
San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur 23400 México
Updated August 12, 2019
This Viceroy Los Cabos wedding is perhaps the first wedding at this newly named and acquired property. Until a month or so ago, this hotel was called Mar Adrentro. Designed by the prominent Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, the hotel is minimalistic and futuristic in design. The structures are amazing foils that draw your eyes to the beauty and color of the ocean and the beach. People pop out against the white buildings. There are so many palettes from which to create amazing wedding portraits. It also helps to have a beautiful couple like Jennifer and August as your clients.
Today the hotel is called the Viceroy Los Cabos. We are huge fans of the Viceroy brand. In fact the Viceroy Palm Springs, now called Avalon Palm Springs, was our client for a few years, and we have been staying at that hotel for over 10 years. The brand is known for attention to detail, design and extraordinary level of customer service - this property is no exception. We highly recommend the Viceroy Los Cabos for your Mexico destination wedding. Special thanks to our new friend at the Viceroy - Baltazar! Please contact him if you are interested in a wedding at this very special place.

Answering any questions about how membership works.
There's no cost to join as a host. If you can offer overnight RV parking, even just for a small camper van, you may join as a host. You'll earn 3 months of guest privileges for every guest who stays with you, and you can activate these (3 months at a time) whenever you choose - usually when you're ready to travel yourself. Hosts who have not yet accumulated credits can purchase a 1-year guest privileges subscription at half price.
A guest privileges subscription is required to contact and stay with hosts. The annual fee is less than a single night in a campground. See our page with details on becoming a guest for pricing.
As long as you currently have a property that you can describe on your profile, you may join as a host and restrict the availability until you're ready to receive guests. If your situation changes, you can update that calendar any time.
To use guest privileges on the site you must be traveling in a self-contained RV. See definition of self-contained below.
Most hosts are also RVers, but others join for a variety of reasons: They may be considering buying an RV, retired from RVing, enjoy meeting and introducing travelers to their region, have a property they enjoy sharing, enjoy hearing traveler's stories, or own a small business and, like Walmart, hope to gain a customer.
From Wikipedia:
"The term recreational vehicle (RV) is often used as a broad category of motor vehicles and trailers which include living quarters designed for temporary accommodation. Types of RVs include motorhomes, campervans, caravans (also known as travel trailers and camper trailers), fifth-wheel trailers, popup campers and truck campers."
All the above categories of RV can qualify for Boondockers Welcome guest privileges - But only if the RV is also self-contained.
A self-contained RV is one that is set up to allow all functions of living (sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation) to be handled completely while inside the RV. A toilet, sink and a built-in grey water holding tank are absolute requirements. Confirmation that you'll be traveling in a self-contained RV is required to purchase or activate guest privileges.
This requirement is in place to honor our promise to hosts that they'll only get requests from travelers who are prepared to be totally self-sufficient and, if necessary, as inconspicuous as possible.
Yes. But, if a custom-built unit is not easily recognizable as an RV (a regular van, a windowless cube van, or utility trailer are examples), we highly recommend you add a detailed description of your RV interior on your guest profile to ensure the best chance of success with hosts.
You will also need to contact us for permission before purchasing or activating guest privileges, if your custom build has a portable toilet, or does not have sufficient interior height for a five-foot person to stand up. Use the "contact us" link to send us a description and be prepared to furnish photos.
Once you have permission, you'll need to describe the set up in your guest profile. Potential hosts want to know how your rig meets our requirement as a self-contained RV.
Hosts receive a link to your guest profile with your stay request. They'll view that and see a photo of your rig before deciding to accept or decline. Although you may qualify for membership, in the end, it's up to each host what type or RV they will accept.
Rigs with built-in outdoor kitchens qualify as long as the RV meets our definition of self-contained and you're willing and able to NOT use the kitchen unless you've checked with the host and are sure they are okay with you using it. If you have an RV with an outdoor kitchen, please include a note in your rig description when you create your profile. Describe it and indicate that you're able to function entirely indoors and without using it, if the host prefers.
Especially in urban areas or with neighbors nearby, hosts may want you to be stealthy. In other situations, we're pretty sure most hosts won't mind. If you check for hosts who allow you to set up lawn chairs and a barbecue outside, you can be pretty sure your kitchen won't be an issue, but it's better if they know upfront.
Maybe. We may allow it, but you MUST also have a sink and built in grey water tank. And contact us before joining. We'll determine eligibility based on other factors too. (A mattress and a bucket in the back of a van or car won't cut it). Use the "Contact Us" link to send us a full description of your set up. When you hear back from us, be prepared to send us photos as well (interior and exterior).
Guests must be traveling in a self-contained RV to use our site. If you plan on tent-camping or sleeping in a passenger vehicle - car, SUV, or van - this club is not for you. Travelers need to be able to function entirely inside the RV, and not need to set up sleeping, cooking, sanitation, or toilet stations outside.
In an urban setting, hosts may be concerned about neighbors and appearances. For this reason, self-contained pop-up tent trailers may be rejected by some hosts, even if the guest has met our qualifications for guest privileges.
If you don't have an RV, we suggest you try these platforms that may better suit your needs: couchsurfing.com/ or hipcamp.com/
Yes, as long as you let members camp for free for at least one night with no requirement to stay longer or purchase additional services. You may ask to be compensated for electric (maximum $10 per night if they use it) but must offer a dry-camping option for free.
This is a great way to introduce travellers to your property. If you like, you can limit availability and get requests only for the dates you want: perhaps low season or weekdays. You can also screen each guest's profile before deciding whether to accept their request.
Although some hosts don't mind providing parking for the first night you arrive in their area and perhaps recommending a campground you can move to, others may turn down your request. If you are seeking accommodation while in the area to earn a living, please look for another alternative than our hosts.
No. This site is only for locations on private property - ones that are privately owned or controlled by the members who list them. Feel free to share that type of information as an aside on your profile page. You can also mention it in our Facebook Group, or other social media pages we manage, or post it on other other web sites intended for sharing such discoveries.

Just over a week after Kim Kardashian ignited a media shitstorm with her now-infamous nude selfie, Chloë Moretz is defending her controversial comments about the photo.
The 19-year-old actress was one of the first stars to publicly criticize Kardashian's NSFW pic after it was posted on March 6. "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than our bodies," she tweeted at the time. Many people accused her of slut-shaming Kardashian, but Moretz later added, "There's a huge difference in respecting the platform that you're given as a celebrity and 'slut shaming,' something I never have done and would never do."
In a new interview with Elle, Moretz defended her comments, saying she was compelled to respond to the photo because of the "bigger" issues at play.
"All I'll say is that I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot of ways," Moretz said. "And I think if people open their minds more, and they try to look deeper into something than just something that is a very big, hot, fiery button to hide behind… I think if people looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they wouldn't be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things."
In response to Moretz's initial comments, Kardashian mocked theNeighbors 2 star, tweeting, "Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to Twitter, since no one knows who she is." She later penned a lengthy essay on her website responding to the backlash, writing, "I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin."
Despite the kerfuffle she caused with her comments, Moretz told Elleshe's determined to stand her ground on social media, and advised other young women to do the same.
"Depict yourself adequately as what you want to be seen as," Moretz said about her approach to social media. "Don't front, don't put something out there that you feel isn't realistic and doesn't portray who you are. Just be yourself, be you, and don't be afraid to speak your mind."

I've written before about how I'm intrigued by the mysterious Flickr Explore. It is supposed to be the most "interesting" 500 images on a given day. As one peruses the daily selections, it is certainly debatable whether a photo out there is truly interesting or if, more likely than not, the variables used by Flickr's software to select a photo just happen to fall into place in the right time frame. The number of views, "faves", comments, and the frequency of these things occurring in a given time span all seem to contribute to selection for the Explore pool of images.
Once an image pops into the Explore area, attention on an image can be greatly magnified. Views of new or recent postings may skyrocket. Typically I pick up a large group of new followers. Subsequent postings to Flickr may be propelled into the Explore area, riding on the coat tails of the first selected image as new followers view and apply "fave" tags to new images. This may continue for days. In my experience, it's always a short ride. Perhaps some fairness algorithm kicks in and Flickr moves on to another lucky contestant.
As I've said before, I don't do anything special to try and get my images into Flickr Explore. It is usually a curiosity to me when images are selected. A lot of times they are things that I found interesting (hence my posting) but not necessarily special or worthy of adulation. Such is the case the past week when the string of images above were all selected for Explore. I thought it was kind of neat that these were selected because these were all black and white film shots that I took on an outing to some nearby small towns a while back. About once a month or so, I revolt against the digital revolution and run out of the house with a film camera and a couple rolls of black and white film. These shots were all taken with circa 1952 Leica IIIF fitted with a 1938 Elmar 50mm lens. Nothing automatic about this setup. Manual focus, manual exposure. Only four simple controls: aperture, shutter speed, focus, shutter button. No computers, menus, or LCD/EVF displays to get between my vision and instincts.
It felt good to have these images featured on Flickr's Explore - even if getting there probably had more to do with the algorithms of a software application than anything in particular about the images themselves. Still, the initial attention garnered from those who follow my Photostream was what triggered something in Flickr's computer brain. I guess some people can still appreciate film images in the digital age. That's a comforting thought.
My Photostream has a nice mountain size spike in activity for the previous week. Things are back to normal now. The brief bit of extra attention on my Flickr photos has ceased for the time being. Did anything change as a result? Nope. We're a distracted society. We glimpse and move on quickly to the next shiny object. The software we write behaves similarly, mimicking the minds of its creators. Popularity is fleeting and hardly worth pursuing in my opinion. I simply share what I enjoy and hopefully someone else out there finds enjoyment along with me.

Have you ever had a problem lining up your cake side designs or trims, especially if they are supposed to be on a straight line? At times when I do them, I think they are going straight but when I step away and look back, it turns into an OH NO! What do I do now situation.
I don't have to deal with that problem anymore. I can use the new Cake Marker to help make straight guide lines on the cake sides to follow.
With the cake marker, you can adjust one, two or three marker pins to height/heights needed. The marker pins snap on and off, and are easy to remove if all are not needed. (Or you can just raise the markers above the cake if they are not being used.) The marker base has 1/4" increments to adjust the marker pins. The measurement starts at one inch and continues each 1/4" until six inches high.
If possible, you should mark your iced cake before it's placed on your larger cake base board or cake plate. The marking pins extend out 3/4", so if your cake base is larger than 3/4" around the cake, the pins will not touch the side of the cake.
To use, just slide the marking pins to desired height/heights. Keeping the base flat, just move it, sliding around your cake, with the pins just touching the icing and not digging into the cake itself. You don't want to dig up any crumbs! Wipe off any icing build-up on the points as needed so it doesn't make a thicker mark than needed.
Once the mark is made, you're able to pipe straight trims, line up fondant or Sugar Sheets trims, ribbons or pearls.
If you line up two marking pins together, you can mark a 1/2" wide band on the cake side, as shown in the picture. You can adjust the marking pins for various widths to embellish your cake sides, whether it's a fondant or buttercream cake. This will help for trims that are wrapped around the center of the cake to embellish it, especially good for ribbon placement.
So Make your Mark – and make it easier to achieve those straight line cake side trims.

Hope you guys like it (even if I failed pretty bad). I tried to make some subsequent demos, but ended up dying all the time. Will try again when I have some free time. Opinions? What needs to be improved? Also is the demo ok for "legitness" or do I need to change stuff (autoaim, freelook, complev etc.)? Thanks in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post

If last Thursday was all about the blue and white for St. Jean Baptiste Day, this one is reserved for the red and white, and I can't think of a better day than Canada Day to celebrate those who work the land to produce our food.
That is until we start a National Farmers' Day, say about the last Friday in September, where everyone gets the day off except farmers, of course, who would be too busy working, and we all buy at least one thing from a local farm gate or farmers' market, or at least one food item made or raised or grown in our respective provinces. In B.C., that would be ridiculously simple.
So while you're out there celebrating amongst the red and white painted faces, eating the red-and-white-iced cakes with the maple leaves and fluttering those little paper red and white flags, take a minute and think about all those from coast to coast to coast who grow the wheat and rye and potatoes and lettuce and raise the pigs and chickens and cows that we're all gnoshing down day after day, and what we would do, or rather wouldn't do, without them.
Happy Canada Day! Hug a farmer, buy Canadian - and in the between time, here's a Canada Day farmers' index to nudge you along.
Number of family farms in Canada in 1951: 600,000
Number of family farms in Canada today: 230,000
Average age of farmers in Canada today: 55
Ratio of off-farm income for Canadian family farms in 1990 and 1999, respectively: 68 per cent and 73 per cent
Percentage of off-farm income for medium-sized, business-focused family farms in Canada in 1999: 80 per cent
Amount of food Vancouver Island farmers used to supply to residents on the island in the 1960s vs. amount supplied locally today: 85 per cent vs. 10 per cent
Amount of chicken eaten on Vancouver Island supplied by farmers on Vancouver Island: 20 per cent
Position of agriculture in Vancouver Island's economy in the 1920s and forestry, respectively: 1st and 2nd
Year the term "locavore" was coined in San Francisco: 2005
Year it was named word of the year by Oxford Dictionary: 2007
Year that Frederique and Sinclair Philip started what became Sooke Harbour House, known for its local/regional cuisine: 1979
Years using local cuisine was popularized in Toronto by chefs Jamie Kennedy and Michael Stadtlander: Early 1980s
Year that Jamie Kennedy founded Knives and Forks, which pioneered farm-to-table practices in Canada and started Feast of Fields: 1989

Athleisure is the current fashion trend on techstyle.com that everyone is loving. It stems from the idea that gym clothes, meaning leggings, sweats, and even sports bras, are now deemed acceptable and stylish clothing options worn sans workout. That being said, it is nice to imagine the trend also serves as a reminder and opportunity to take that last minute run or indulge in a post-work yoga routine if need be. Whatever it is, comfortable clothes is on the rise and with it have emerged several athletic wear companies. One company that seems to be leaping along with legging craze is Fabletics, actress Kate Hudson's newest venture.
Launched in 2013, Fabletics is one of the few celebrity owned athletic companies that seems to have predicted the future stability of the athleisure trend. They have also pioneered a successful internet based retail business in a market that is mostly saturated by brick-and-mortar stores. Hudson has said that her goal in creating the company was to provide everyday women with an affordable, stylish line of athletic clothing. As the brand has grown, she's demonstrated her commitment to that mission by expanding sizes and refiguring clothing options to create a truly all-inclusive clothing brand.

Just like any trend, popular styles, colors, and fabrics change throughout seasons. Hudson and her team at Fabletics have made it easy to keep up with the revolution by providing customers with must-have looks and fashion advice. They also provide helpful tips on exercise for those looking to really put those breathable fabrics to the test. Visitors to the website will even be offered an individually curated outfit after filling out a brief survey about their personal fashion tastes on Twitter. Since the line currently features hundreds of different options, this is often the best way for someone to venture away from the safety of black leggings and try something new. You can also visit the site https://sites.google.com/view/verona-couture/home for some ideas.
Those who've found the line early on have discovered the added bonus of the VIP club, which serves as a sort of frequent fliers discount for athletic clothing aficionados. Membership of Fabletics is free but allows customers to purchase an entire outfit for around $40. The only catch is that the outfits are automatically generated each month, so if a customer doesn't want one, they need to opt out of the purchase in the given window of time. However, for that price, we aren't sure how customers are willing to miss out!

I think everyone thinks their dad is a little bit odd or crazy. As they get older, they develop their own little habits. They have a certain way that they like to live their life, and nothing is going to interrupt that.
If anything, 'Friday Night Dinner' is quite mean. All these pranks that we play on each other, there's a lot of hitting and slapping and jumping at each other trying to scare each other. But underneath it all it is a family, so we all love each other. ---->>>
I enjoy watching sitcoms where the team behind it have successfully created a whole alternate reality that you can enter into for half an hour every week. ---->>>
If people are asking me for clubbing tips, then they're in real trouble. My clubbing tip is never go to a club, because they're horrible and I hate them. I'm more of a dinner party guy. ---->>>
I don't really view myself as an actor. ---->>>
I get paid very well and am happy with what I make, but I'm not in the super-rich bracket. I shop in a supermarket like everyone else. ---->>>
It's a very strange and quite terrifying experience to watch yourself on TV. I never like to do it with other people. ---->>>
I like to dress up and look nice. I'm not quite at the stage yet financially to do that too often, but it's nice to push the boat out a little bit for award ceremonies and stuff. ---->>>
'The Inbetweeners' would have been a success with a totally different cast because the scripts are good - so while we were fortunate enough to be cast in it, we feel we still have a lot to prove. ---->>>
Fans of the 'Inbetweeners' like the show because it is about four normal people, average guys or lower than average losers. ---->>>
I always felt that my way into comedy would be through my writing rather than my acting. ---->>>
People assume that because you are on TV you must be a millionaire, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that. ---->>>
I don't think American family sitcoms are mean. I guess I really love 'Arrested Development.' I guess they are quite mean in that, but that is also a very silly, surreal, absurd show as well, and it has got a heart as well. ---->>>
The thing with TV and filming is the timing is all faked anyway. You do it so many times, from so many different angles. You never really do it all in one go anyway, so they just fix it all in the edit. ---->>>
When it comes to female fan attention, I'm married, so obviously I avoid the places where you might get unwanted female attention - clubs and social environments, bars and public spaces. ---->>>
Simon Antony Bird (born 19 August 1984) is an English actor and comedian. He is best known for playing Adam Goodman in the Channel 4 comedy Friday Night Dinner and Will McKenzie in The Inbetweeners. Has brother (wikipedia)

The unholy union of the weather and the Easter holidays means that I am largely housebound with three small kids in tow. I have been largely stuck in the house for months anyway due to the cessation of preschool, ill children and weather. I am beginning to go a little loopy and for someone with a higher than average level of eccentricity, a little loopy looks like moderately insane for those of a somewhat more sociotypical persuasion. Cabin fever has hit and hit hard.
So in sympathy for my fellow parents besieged by small cold bored children clamouring to be placed in front of televisual spectaculars and left until their eyes go square, some resources that may save your sanity and win you the undying admiration of your offspring. Well, I say undying. Ten minutes worth at least.
I won't lie. There is adult involvement and supervision required for most of these but it's fairly minimal so you can probably manage a sneaky five minute nap on the sofa once you've got them started. Apart from tasks with scissors. On your own head be it if you decide to abandon ship leaving your progeny in command of sharp objects. Possibly literally if your kids are anything like as inventive as mine when it comes to scissors and hair. I would personally fear awakening to find myself scalped.
So, I present you with Stuff My Kids Like To Do:
1. Playdough. Grab a rolling pin and some biscuit cutters. Stick them at the kitchen table. Let them go nuts. There's a pretty good recipe for playdough here. You may want to add a little more oil/water to the recipe than is called for in the instructions.
2. Drawing. The surface of my lounge room floor is pretty much ankle deep in discarded pictures. I've largely given up against the avalanche of art. I just walk around gingerly and at the end of the day I scoop up everything that hasn't been verboten to me and it goes in the recycling. Anything they tell me is too precious goes on the wall in what Esme calls her art gallery but the rest of us call her bedroom. You can find some excellent resources to help your kids get excited about drawing over at the Phoenix website.
3. Junk modelling. Go to your recycling bin and yank out anything made of cardboard, especially breakfast cereal boxes and toilet roll tubes. If you have yoghurt pots or cleanish plastic food trays like fruit punnets grab them too. Also milk and juice containers. Rinse everything out. Stick them on your kitchen table with tape, scissors, glue and paint and glitter.
(The glitter and paint are definitely optional extras for if you trust your kids or don't mind having every visible surface in your kitchen transformed into a paint covered glitzy wonderland.)
You can set them challenge or give them a theme or just point them in the general direction of the stuff and ask them what they think they could build using it. You will be totally amazed with what you can make with junk. Last year when we did this up in the park the kids were building carnival masks out of all sorts of crap and they made the most incredible things. There were tigers and elephants and all sorts. It was ace.
If you're a complete newbie at this kind of thing, may I suggest that a boat or a car makes an excellent starting point. And toilet roll tubes stuffed with tissue paper make amazing trees.
4. Sewing. I know, I know, I sound insane. Why would I arm my children with sharp pointy objects and string? But this is quite good, especially for older kids. Orlaith will sit quite happily for ages 'sewing' with fabric scraps and needle and thread. Great for hand eye coordination. They could make doll's clothes or even sew themselves a scarf or a little blanket. Or just thread bits of fabric on a string to make a kind of kite. Both of mine quite enjoy rummaging through my fabric scraps to find appealing bits of fabric and then just hacking them to bits to make ponchos for their toys. Slightly destructive but then you can always recycle the scraps for making collages or something.
5. Paper cutting. This has kept them occupied all afternoon today and the only downside is that I will have to go over my lounge room floors like the wrath of God to get rid of all the tiny scraps of paper they've left behind.
Some bits they've been enjoying: They are quite fond of Tilly and Friends so discovering the folding paper dolls of Hector and Tilly was quite a good find. Extra bonus fun of colouring in. There's heaps of other printables on the CBeebies website too as well as online games and so on. I must issue the disclaimer that using that site with the kids will mean you will forever be inundated with requests to play CBeebies games forevermore. You must decide for yourself whether that's a price you're prepared to pay for colouring fun.
A random find that has been quite handy for ideas is the Martha Stewart website. (Click only if you can handle a healthy dollop of twee and the general vague sense of shame that your house does not and never has and never will be as tidy or as Homely as the backgrounds of the photographs on the website. ) We tried doing paper snowflakes this afternoon and it was reasonably successful. It also matched the ridiculous weather outside really well. Bonus? Not so much.
I quite liked some of the resources I found here and Esme's happily snipping out clothes for paper dollies while I'm typing this so I guess the kids were rather pleased with them too. There are also some totally AWESOME things to be found here.
I think I've linked to this one before but I've made this with the kids before and it is intricate and time consuming but really worth having a go at.
6.If you don't fancy making stuff, or you've already made ALL THE THINGS because OMG SNOOOOOOOOOOW for months, then maybe you could make a blanket fort with some kitchen chairs and a duvet. Or you can spread the duvet on the floor to be a tropical lagoon and use sofa pillows as islands and pretend you're somewhere warm and hot and Not Here.
Feel free to add your own suggestions and inspirations via the comments.
Meanwhile I am off to go snuggle Elias whose birthday is today. He hates and fears the snow so he's not having the most marvellous of days although he is having great fun learning how to combine scissors and playdough to make the stickiest and yet sharpest of craft traps for catching mothers in. Perhaps I shall simply make him a paper cutout cake…

Just a quick note to say that packers round 2 starts tomorrow so my posting might be a bit sporadic from now until we get settled in Italy but I'll try to keep up as much as I can!

lights out
Posted by taylor
Didn't actually get to go out and hang out with my roommate last night wah wah. Instead my brother, uncle and I went to the movies and saw The Green Lantern, starring my future husband, Ryan Reynolds (call me!) and Blake Lively. Fun fact: I'm totally one of those girls who loves Marvel comics made movies and sci-fi things...especially when they involve hot guys. Don't even get me started on the new StarTrek movie with Chris Pine! Needless to say, I had delightfully high expectations.
It sucked. It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, the special effects were killer but the story itself just seemed like it was trying way too hard to be super cool...although I could just be thinking that because I'm not a fan of Blake Lively. I did love the amount of background information that was obviously necessary but I'm still not sure that I would ever recommend it to anyone. My brother, the 11 year old that he is, absolutely loved the fighting scenes. I feel like the movie relied way too much on the fighting to get people excited.
That's just what I thought though...did any of you guys love it? What other movies have you been watching?

I have gone the entire summer without moving from my bedroom and now, all of a sudden, I'm all over the place. Got back from the Poconos and an indoor water park (one word: h-two-oh-llercoaster) yesterday evening, spent the night in my own bed and now I'm in DC/ northern VA until Monday visiting some family before we leave (two weeks from today...eek!). I'm thrilled to finally get out of the house but couldn't this have been spread out a little? Just kidding....I'm just happy to be out of my bed haha. About to try to go meet up with my roommate to hit the town. Pictures to come I hope!

what a doll
Posted by taylor
Confession: I am a huge book worm. I was one of those kids who thought library time was the best part of the week and would stagger down the hallways with a stack of books as tall as I was. Even in college, where asking students to read for fun is the same as asking us to give up Thirsty Thursdays, I was one of the few people I knew who actually made time for fun reading...and by "made time," I really mean that I put off my actual work. Summer obviously frees up so much more time and lets me explore so many new books. I actually just finished reading Valley of the Dolls the other day and I completely loved it! Without giving away too much, the story follows three friends from their early twenties to their mid-to-late thirties as they learn to navigate life in New York City, fall in love, become Broadway stars, get married and deal with their own personal demons. The "dolls" in the title actually refers to sleeping pills that all of the characters end up using or misusing at some point throughout the novel. The characters were all super easy to relate to which I was really surprised about considering the story is set in the late 1940s! Seriously, I never really thought of drug abuse, abortion or lesbian love affairs as something that happened back in those days so it was a really interesting read. It was also kind of thick but I got so involved with Anne, Neely and Jennifer that it was almost impossible to to put down.
What books are you guys reading this summer? I'd love to get suggestions for new things to read!

nailed it
Posted by taylor
If there's one thing I love it's nail polish. My dresser boasts an impressive display of at least 15 to 20 different colors. I love that it's so easy to apply, cheap, and that it can really change your mood just by looking at your fingertips. I always have to talk myself out of buying more bottles because, honestly, what normal person needs that many different colors? Besides, I can never just stop at one. My latest promise to myself: no more nail polish until at least November. It's only the first official day of summer and I've already cracked. Stopped in at ULTA today and got sidetracked by the bright sunny colors just begging to just be tested. After painting each of my nails a different color, I finally decided on a neon pink and a more dusky blue. This is actually pretty unusual for me because I usually find myself drawn to darker colors during the summer and jewel tones during the winter. I'm not generally the hot pink nail polish kind of person but I have been obsessed with obnoxiously bright colors lately and these were perfect.
Even though I said that the blue is a duskier color, it still more than holds it own against the supah pink my fingers have on right now.
I'm off to the Poconos for a few days with the family and I don't think I'll be bringing my computer so I most likely won't be posting again till the weekend but I'll try to come back with loads of stories to share. Have a great rest of your week!

Happy fathers day!
Posted by taylor
Spent father's day with the fam hitting the sites in Philadelphia. It was actually the perfect day for sightseeing...not too hot, just the right amount of clouds and a beautiful breeze. It was also a great day to break in my that new/old camera my mom gave me. More about the camera and trip later but just wanted to say a super big
Happy Father's Day
to this guy right here.

Thanks Dad for always listening to me, believing in me, helping me with my problems and letting me listen to my radio station in the car. I couldn't ask for a better one

Took my dog for a walk later than usual tonight and I was totally blown away by the amount of fireflies that I found during the short time I was out. I don't know what it is about fireflies that makes them so cool and interesting but it probably has something to do with the fact that their appearance truly indicates the beginning of summer, long nights, hanging out with friends and general awesome-ness. Is it weird that I actually forgot that fireflies existed for a while? I went to high school in Texas and I don't think I ever saw a single firefly. Another point for the East Coast...although, let's be honest, Texas totally makes up for its lack of fireflies in other point categories.

ciao bella
Posted by taylor
To say that I'm excited for my year in Italy might be a bit of an understatement. I mean, yeah bunches of college graduates take that year off to travel for a while but how many get to do that and still come home at night to their parents' cooking. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that being an Army Brat has given me, especially this one. I've been scouring the interwebs for pictures of my future homeland and it is just so beautiful. I can't wait to actually go out there and experience these things for myself. Until then, though, I think I'm just going to watch the Lizzie McGuire movie a bajillion times and plan how to accidentally get an Italian pop star to fall in love me...doable right?

relax-ie in a maxi
Posted by taylor
...terrrrrible rhyme. I know.
I went to the mall today with a MISSION and it was totally successful! I FINALLY bought the perfect maxi skirt! Do you ever get this image in your head of the perfect article of clothing and you know that you simply need to have it but you can't find it anywhere? Well I found mine! I wanted a skirt long enough to actually reach my feet which can be hard to find since I'm so tall (five eleven wuddup!) in a solid color. I also wanted it to be straight down without any of the ruffly stuff found on most maxi skirts...I'm not trying to do that "Little House in the Prairie" look, thanks but no thanks. The skirt has a fold over waist so it can even double as a dress! Best part: it was on sale for $17! I found it in the last store I went into at the mall today, Old Navy! Probably the first time I've bought something from Old Navy in a few years but I totally dig it...I might have to go back and look around sometime when I actually have time to linger.

I like my beats fast and my bass down low
Posted by taylor
A lot of factors go into the making of a perfect summer, but the one that I always think really defines a summer is the playlist. There's just something about certain songs that really just transport me right back to a certain time in my life. Like M.I.A's Paper Planes will never NOT remind me of the very end of my freshman year and I have to bust out my pc's dance to Bottoms Up literally the second it comes on. I've been trying to come up with the perfect playlist for this summer, such an important and transitional period in my life and I'm glad there are so many contenders out there for my favorites right now. Here are some of the songs that I've been listening to on repeat for the past few weeks.
Lemonade - Daniel Revel Miller
Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine
The Edge of Glory - Lady GaGa
Till Death - Wynter Gordon
Rolling in the Deep (Remix) - Adele ft. Childish Gambino
Cinema - Benny Benassi (Skrillex Remix)
Young, Wild and Free - Wiz Khalifa ft. Snoop Dogg
Any suggestions? I love hearing new music!

get down, get down, get deeper and down...saturday night
Posted by taylor
**NOTE: this was supposed to be posted last night but then my power went out in the middle of my writing and, of course, my laptop wasn't fully charged. Whoops!
Ah the life of a recent graduate! It's just fun, fun and even more fun all the time, especially on the weekends (please note the heavy use of sarcasm there). Alright, that's actually not fair. The post grad life definitely has its perks, one of which being the complete and utter lack of exams or pop quizzes or mandatory movie viewings. These are all great things. But right now I can only think of the negatives...or rather, one negative, in particular. Weekends are suddenly a whole different ballgame. Right now, at 11:30 pm on a Saturday night, I am crafting. Don't get me wrong! I love crafting things and I'm glad that I finally have the chance to tackle a project that I've been meaning to work on literally since my high school graduation but I have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle and that lifestyle generally consists of fratting my fucking face off. This, needless to say, is quite the departure from what I am used to. I know, I know....i experience this every summer. But this summer is different. As of this summer, I know that I can never ever do those things again. It's weird. I know I have this whole other exciting and nerve wracking world to look forward to but it's scary! It also doesn't help that I just finally caught up on the final season of Greek. Thanks for the slap in the face, perspective.
But you know what? I had a GREAT four years and I have to see what's next. So here's to more crafty weekends...maybe after this project, I'll finally get around to starting my high school scrapbook! Better late than never, right?

sorry i suckkkk
Posted by taylor
ugh you guys! i am so unbelievably sorry that i have completely neglected doing these posts in the past few months. you never really realize how desperate you are to soak up e v e r y last little bit of the college life until it's staring you in the face. At that moment, everything else just kind of fail to catch your attention. As of almost three weeks ago, I am an official college graduate and it is a cuh-raaaazy feeling...one that I am not completely loving just yet. But there is a bright side! Being done with school and unemployed for the time being (ugh. anybody want to offer me a job?) means that I have so much more time to blog and take just a little bit of time for myself. Of course, the fact that I'm going to be in ITALY next year is also a huge bonus!
In the next few weeks, I hope I can bring everyone up to date with me and entertain you with plenty of stories about the end of a great 4 years and what is sure to be an adventure in Europe. Hope you're as excited about it as I am!

It is often said that beauty lies in simplicity. Rock gardens are the very embodiment of that saying. With a bit of thoughtful planning, what initially may seem like a bland mixture of rocks and plants can, in skilled hands, quickly turn into the peaceful retreat that any home needs.
Author - Fantastic Gardeners Team
Water is the source of all life, but too much water can cause significant problems even in the garden space. For instance, surplus water can promote root rot and diseases amongst plants.
Hedera, which we commonly refer to as English Ivy (pl. Ivies), is a family of around 20 species of evergreen perennial plants. Depending on their surroundings, these woody plants can be both ground creeping or climbing nearby trees, rocks, buildings, and pretty much anything they can lay their stems on. Given a solid base, the ivy has the ability to crawl up and reach heights of more that 30m. On ground level it rarely exceeds ½ feet in height. As gorgeous as this chef-d'œuvre of nature is, it can still cause mischief around your property if left unattended. It's considered an invasive plant after all, meaning it'll not knock on your door to ask if it'd be OK to crash in your yard for the night.
To help you out with early spring gardening, here is a list of a few gardening tips you can use to ease your workload.
With Halloween behind us, Christmas is fast approaching and many businesses have already started putting up their holiday decorations. It is at this time that countless people throughout the country are faced with an annual dilemma, to buy a real Christmas tree or an artificial one.

Newton's excellent schools are a primary attraction for new families moving into the city and it's one of the key reasons generations after generations stay in Newton. I'm running for School Committee because while our schools are excellent, we must make improvements to maintain and expand upon that high standard of academic achievement which Newton is known for. A strong and wide breadth of academic programing are among our strengths. Further, we have terrific teachers and faculty.
However, as a district, we are facing some challenges such as instituting a later high school start time while navigating and respecting a tight financial budget and determining a funding plan for the next elementary school renovations. Creative planning and reasonable tradeoffs will be necessary to achieve our goals. I want to help our schools address these issues while adhering to our goal of academic excellence and equality for all students.
Our schools must:
1. Maintain a strong academic curriculum and a wide breadth of programming
2. Plan for necessary updates to school buildings with strategic renovations to expand capacity
3. Create an inclusive and emotionally safe school climate for all students
4. Evaluate and implement strategies to close the persistent achievement gap
5. Preserve reasonable class sizes

Tau Kappa Epsilon is an International Social Fraternity. TKE is the largest college social fraternity in terms of number of active groups. The colors of the fraternity are the shade of red known as Crimson Lake Cherry, and the shade of gray known as Pure Silver Grey. Of the national fraternities founded prior to 1920, TKE is one of the few fraternities that never had a discrimination clause in its membership requirements to prevent membership of men because of their race, color, or creed. TKE was also one of the first fraternities to abolish "Hell week" when in 1928 it was replaced with an initiation period consisting of lessons portraying the finest attribute of brotherhood.

To John Adams from Thomas Barclay, 17 July 1792
Gibraltar 17th. July 1792
Dear Sir
I wrote to you the 28th. of May inclosing a letter which I received from the American prisoners at Algiers—with a Petition which they requested you would lay before the Senate, I now send you a Copy of that petition which came to my hands a few days ago—
The Distracted state of the Empire of Morocco has hitherto prevented my passing to that Country, but it is probably that a short time will restore some kind of Tranquility there, either by the Event of a general Engagement, or by a Division of the Empire—At present Muley Solimon governs the Kingdom of Fez, and his brother Ischem that of Morocco. and both are preparing to take the field.
Wishing you and Mrs. Adams all the happiness this life can afford, I remain / Dear Sir / Your Very affectionate / Humble servant
Thos Barclay
