A Shalom Bayit Book (SBB) is my Jewish version of a household management notebook or control journal. Shalom means peace, and bayit is house, so this book is one major way I bring peace into my house. It contains all of my notes from past years, worksheets for things like menus, shopping lists, and checklists. It also contains running wishlists for my family members, inventories of holiday gear (like Passover things!) and a shopping list for future years (like a big meat pot for Passover).
Using a SBB helps me save: I save sanity (by not having a mad dash for Target erev Yom Tov for something I am missing) and helps me save money (by finding a good deal on something I want during the year or buying duplicates "just in case!"). It just keeps important information at my fingertips: does the baby need 12 mo clothes? Do we have candles for our menora yet? Did I actually get that pot for Passover? Instead of pulling out the boxes and sorting through everything, I can flip a few pages (mostly electronically for me now!) and find out.
I have written about how to build your SBB here and in this challenge, but here is where the printables you can use are located. All of these documents are saved as word documents for two reasons: 1. most people can access them, and 2. so you can adjust them to fit your needs!
Remember, these will only be useful to you if you actually use them! So change and adjust until it works for you!

Crew's Eddie Gaven retires after 11 seasons in MLS
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus Crew has announced that midfielder Eddie Gaven is retiring after 11 seasons in Major League Soccer.
The 27-year-old concludes a career that includes 278 appearances, 51 goals and 37 assists in MLS regular-season competition. Since joining the Crew from the New York/New Jersey MetroStars in 2006, Gaven helped the club to the 2008 and 2009 Supporters' Shields, along with the 2008 MLS Cup title against his former club.
His final game was on May 29 when he sustained a season-ending knee injury.
He started 198 games with the Crew over eight seasons - and was never issued a red card in his career.
The club also parted ways with midfielder Matias Sanchez and forward Aaron Horton.

|Summary, etc.:
| Jillian Lawton and Lesley Adamski. Two girls from very different backgrounds. Jillian is the only child of wealthy parents, while Lesley's from a working-class family. They become best friends in the turbulent '60s, but their circumstances, their choices--and their mistakes--take them in virtually opposite directions. Lesley stays in their Washington State hometown. She gets pregnant and marries young, living a life defined by the demands of small children, not enough money--never enough money--and an unfaithful husband. Jill lives those years in a completely different way: on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War, and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City.But they always remain friends.Through the years and across the miles, through marriage, children, divorce and widowhood, Jill and Lesley confide everything to each other--every grief and every joy. Because the quality of a friendship is the quality of a life.

According to the New York Times, if you like avoiding murder as much as the next guy, you may want to consider doing the majority of your outdoor tasks on rainy days. That's right, thanks to some
bored delinquents researchers, we now know that murder rates go down when precipitation goes up.
Why they felt that this was necessary research to do is beyond reason. People don't go out when it rains because that's just plain stupid. No research required. Traffic, accidents, bad roads, pneumonia, lightning. These are all things that are more likely to kill you than some random psychopath assassin. Besides, I stay home to keep my kicks dry. Murder >Wet Nikes
Newspapers have turned into that old guy in the trench coat outside your local food and liquor spot. The dude that's either soothsaying, selling you something illicit or just being flat out outlandish in hopes of entertaining you and making some change. That hobo that gets all the news late, who'll probably remind you that gas prices are ridiculous later today as if the shit just happened.
Yeah. That weirdo. Almost makes you wish he'd go out on a sunny day and meet his fate.

Eight Clermont County high school wrestling teams took part in the Ohio High School Dual Team Wrestling Tournament on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at sites across Southwest Ohio.
Across three divisions and multiple event sites, teams from Milford, Glen Este, Amelia, New Richmond, Goshen, Clermont Northeastern, Bethel-Tate and Williamsburg competed as a team to advance out of the regional quarterfinals and into the semifinals, which will be held on Jan. 29 at a site to be determined.
Each school has been put into a draw dependent upon divisional breakdown and seeded according to a formula that includes the number of returning state qualifiers and placers, the number of returning district qualifiers and placers, dual records from this season as well as tournament results from earlier this season.
The seeding of teams also impacts the determination the regional dual tournament sites. For local teams, Milford, Glen Este and Amelia competed in Division I at Moeller High School in Sub-Region 8-A.
Seeded No. 4, Glen Este was the top team among the three locals. The Trojans faced Milford, the No. 5 seed. The winner of that match advanced to face either host Moeller, the top seed or the winner of the Walnut Hills/Withrow match if either team was able to knock off Moeller.
Amelia, the No. 7 seed, faced Loveland in their second round matchup for the right to face the winner of No. 3 Sycamore and No. 6 seed Anderson.
In Division II, Region 15, Sub-Region B, Goshen had the highest seed among local teams at No. 5. The Warriors wrestled against No. 4 Wyoming for the right to wrestle the winner of top-seeded host Ross and No. 8 seed Fenwick.
On the other side of the region, New Richmond, seeded eighth, wrestled top-seeded and host Miami Trace in the second round for the right to wrestle the winner of No. 4 Bellbrook and No. 5 Western Brown.
In Division III, all three Clermont County teams are in Region 22, Sub-Region A. Bethel-Tate was given the No. 2 seed and hosted half of the region subsection, which included No. 6 seed Clermont Northeastern.
Bethel wrestled the winner of No. 7 Clinton-Massie and No. 10 Zane Trace in the second round for the right to wrestle either CNE or No. 3 seeded Chillicothe Southeastern.
Williamsburg, the No. 4 seed in Sub-Region 22-A wrestled at Blanchester. The fourth seeded Wildcats wrestled No. 5 Paint Valley in the second round for the right to wrestle the winner of top-seeded Blanchester and the winner of the 8-9 matchup between East Clinton and Wellston.

Sex showA sex show is a form of live performance that features one or more performers engaging in some form of sexual activity on stage for the entertainment or sexual gratification of spectators. Performers are paid either by the spectators or by the organisers of the show. A performance would involve an actual or simulated autoerotic performance or sexual activity with another performer. The performance can be on a theater style, or it can be in a peep show style. An increasingly popular form of sex show is a webcam performance in which the viewer is able to view and interact with webcam performers in real time.

> Major topics for Tuesday included: > Rotation > Scheduling > CSS Snapshot 2007 That should've been s/Tuesday/Wednesday/ Also I forgot one: image-orientation ----------------- RESOLVED: image-orientation accepts all angles, rounds to nearest increment of 90deg, and spec says authors SHOULD NOT specify angles other than increments of 90deg. RATIONALE: Since a number followed by alphabetic is parsed as a length, we can't allow '90deg' but not '90.0deg'. If we allow radians, then what matches? '3.14rad' and '3.14159rad' are both approximations of 180deg, but they are neither equal to 180deg nor equal to each other. We could either allow only degree measurements (which would be odd because all other angle properties accept all angle units, just like all other length properties accept all length units) or accept all angle values and simply round to the nearest 0deg/90deg/180deg/270deg angle. The WG, to avoid changing parsing behavior and because it seemed more intuitive, opted for the latter. ~fantasaiReceived on Monday, 24 September 2007 22:13:56 UTC

Not so lucky anymore....
Civilization is on the brink of crumbling - and this time not just due to the zombie apocalypse. The roads have become dangerous, and what havens have been established are no longer safe. Murmurs of unrest - or maybe even a brewing civil war - are getting loud. No longer are zombies the only thing preying on those that think to brave the world outside the settlements.
Yet as grave as things are getting, this is not the main issue that is plaguing Nate's mind. He has bigger fish to fry.
Books in the series (so far):
©2016 Adrienne Lecter (P)2016 Adrienne Lecter
"fab series"
best series I have come across to date. really really hope there is a 6th
"Why the Shock Value Escalation?"
Why do authors feel that each novel needs successively greater shock value? Rape scenes and torture replaced good writing in this one. Boo.
"I'd give series a 4.3 out of 5"
I would and will listen to the whole series again more than twice, because like with a good movie or book you pick up on things you miss the first time around, I also enjoyed the books so much
I can't really say because I don't like messing up anyone's enjoyment of the book
I have to say I loved all the characters she did
It made me laugh out loud, say please shut up, even get annoyed more than once.
I just couldn't stop listening to the book now I'm done with book 5 sighs I have to find another series to read until I can sink into book 6. A little romance, a little horror a lot of action to make it all woth while. I enjoyed reading the book very much, I know I will listen again to the books in the future. I hope who ever reads this series will enjoy it half as much as I did!
This series gets better and better great storyline different from anything I've read or listened to so far!! Great writing Adrienne Lectar!! Wonderful choice of narrator Tess Irondale rocks!!!
"I will defend my favorite author's!"
Very Good Series
Nate, Because you fall in love with him.
Strong female lead role
Others have commented about rape but if this was to really happen don't you think that its fair to say that would happen? Guess maybe the people commenting are men? Thought so! Guessing again they've never been raped? Ya maybe they are the wrong people to comment because even in the very best situations someone is raped every minute and that's not in a Zombie Apocalypse. This is a great series she's not afraid to piss anyone off I highly recommend and she's not lazy its great from start to finish. Its a must listen or read.
the Green Fields series is a action packed , edge of your seat thrill ride
you've made it this far. you know it's great, keep listening and enjoy. fifteen words.
"loved it"
this is the first review on this series is have written. and I have read a few. people not liking it because of the overwhelming theme of rape in this one but I think that the writer did very good and this had to take place for the way the book is taken. she didn't not go into describing the rape to much. I think that this was a well done book and can't wait until #6 comes out
"What happened to this series?"
Loved the other books in the series as they had such original content. The author got lazy with this one. If you like rape and capture (too prevalent in most zombie books) then this unoriginal book is for you. I am not sure why so many authors think there are so many rapists in the world but it is extremely offensive to assume men and particularly soldiers are so ready to commit rape and other atrocities.

NEW ORLEANS – A teen who went missing after leaving a party with two people she met on social media has been found safe Monday, according to police.
The NOPD said a detective met with 16-year-old Ifunanya "Vivian" Anaekwe, and the girl is unharmed.
Authorities said they learned around 1 a.m. Monday Anaekwe was located by police in Picayune, Mississippi. Police added 19-year-old Trevon Andrews was one of the people Anaekwe left a party with on Oct. 2.
Andrews was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

Kale salad is, hands down, my favorite veggie side dish for a time-crunched weeknight. You can store it, dressing and all, in the fridge for at least a couple of days, it's full of nutrients, and you can make it a million different ways so it never gets boring.
Go online and search for information on the health benefits of kale and you will find claims galore- it promotes weight loss, wards off cancer and heart disease, prevents diabetes, and even prevents wrinkles! More on that here.
You can buy pre-bagged kale salads at the grocery store in many different flavors and varieties. I buy those a lot because they are so easy and allow me not to think too much after a long day at work, but they aren't too friendly on the wallet. Sometimes I think these pre-made salads make sense, even financially- it's cheaper than buying all the ingredients to make something like it from scratch. But, when I happened to have kale left over from another recipe and a pack of blueberries from Costco, I found this simple salad at www.natashaskitchen.com. It was as easy to mix up as any packaged one, and didn't cost me a dime!
Toss in a little leftover roasted chicken or even shrimp to make this a fabulous brown-bag lunch. I served mine with some barbecued chicken and my Browned Butter Skillet Cornbread. This sweet and tangy salad was the perfect foil to spicy barbecue.
For this salad, you could buy the kale in bunches and clean it yourself, or you can buy pre-bagged, chopped kale. I get mine at Aldi's already chopped for like $2. For the carrots, just use what you've got. I had baby carrots that weren't being eaten, so I chopped up some of those. Regular carrots or even the bagged shredded carrots would work great as well.
Make Ahead Blueberry Kale Salad
- 5 cups kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup craisins
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
In a large bowl, mix kale, carrots, craisins, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until well combined. Cover with airtight lid and store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Stir in blueberries just before serving.

Yes, another Jonas Brothers post, but this one was too good to pass up!
Rumors have been circling about Joe Jonas being the cause of the Jonas Brothers breaking up. People speculated a difference in musical interest but everyone started pointing fingers at Joe for a possible drug problem, and he became the one to watch in order to understand why the band of brothers broke up.
We hear the tragedy of the Disney stars all the time, but never from an inside view. That's why it's so interested that Joe Jonas told his story through Jennifer Vineyard on Vulture, to be shown in the Dec 2013 issue of New York Magazine.
In this well-written, and captivating story, Joe walks you through his life, starting as the son of the pastor at a church in New Jersey, to his brother Nick being discovered in a barber shop, to the brothers coming together to be J3, but calling themselves the Jonas Brothers instead, to the way they had to watch themselves to protect their Disney brand while the stars around them were in trouble for scandals with naked pictures being leaked on the internet, or drug abuse, or going to rehab, and finally to their break up.
I realize that not everyone is a fan of the Jonas Brothers, but if you're telling me that you weren't the least bit curious about what it's like to be controlled by Disney at one point in your life, then you are lying.
If anyone remembers his fling with Demi Lovato, or the Jonas Brothers purity ring fad (as parodied in a South Park episode), or even the Miley Cyrus salvia scandal, his story will be of interest to you. My favorite little tidbit about Joe's Disney years is that his first time smoking marijuana was with Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus. I won't spoil the rest for you, but I encourage you to read it, and see your favorite Disney stars from your childhood in a different light.

Whisper My Name
- Artist: Brian Highley
- Genre: Country
- Release Date: 2/3/2004
'Cheery, dreary, happy, sad The rich, the mean, the broke Feel so good to feel so bad Join in! We're singing folk' Real life's ups and downs and a touch of humour; when you've listened, I hope you'll 'Whisper My Name'. Amongst my greatest inspirations, for many years, have been the beautifully touching words and music of Mickey Newbury. For me, Mickey was a hero and an icon; latterly, I was lucky enough to become one of Mickey's many friends and something he wrote to me gave the title and inspiration for this album - 'Whisper My Name' I have always enjoyed listening to singer/songwriters who accompany themselves on guitar: Mickey Newbury; Leonard Cohen; Janis Ian; John Denver; Bob Dylan. My love of songs that contribute to the lyric tradition extends from Robert Burns, through The Proclaimers, to Kate Rusby, with almost countless others in-between. However they are categorised - folk or country or pop - I enjoy songs that tell stories and those are the types of songs that I try to write. So, 'Whisper My Name' presents me, my voice and my guitar, performing my songs. Everything I write gives some account of people and places in my life: from the North of Scotland via the Côte d'Azure to the Pacific coast of Oregon; from loneliness, to friendship, to love. I hope that some parts of my experience will strike some chords with you. Below are some comments from listeners to 'Whisper My Name' 'The songs are all acoustic and there could be no better tribute... These are wonderful songs...' - Ron Lyons 'He knows I love trains, especially steam. His Scottish brogue comes through, which makes these songs all the more charming' - Karen Runk 'Always knew Brian was special and had a deep love for Mickey's music, but what a tribute! Way to go Brian!' - Randy Brown 'thank you for the wonderful CD. I love it and play it often. You know, I believe Mickey would have felt the same...' - Joe Ziemer.

I've been doing a little soul searching on my decision to exclude restos who omit to show BC VQA wine pairings on their DoV website menu listings. But in the end I've decided it's perfectly appropriate not to highlight them, regardless as to how good the plates look. (Our selection criteria are here…)
Dine Out actually costs cold cash and labour to stage, whether it's in terms of promotions (companies pay for sponsorship), the monumental effort by Tourism Vancouver, or a considerable amount of work (often stressful) for staff at the restaurants themselves. I guess it's for these reasons that I do feel strongly about supporting those who truly do embrace the spirit of Dine Out at every level. And that includes giving the customer as much information as possible in order to make their choice.
Then again, from the restaurant's point of view, why wouldn't you want to offer as tempting a scenario as possible—and underscore your cut-above professionalism by having your sommelier take a few minutes to come up with some smart BC VQA pairings and work with a responsive wine agent to make it happen.
Quite a few restos indicate the size of pour—kudos to them. But noticeably absent this year (with a few exceptions) is what the optional flight of wines will cost you. In previous years that's occasionally been a bit of a challenge, as a few were off-loading their dine out discounts with some hefty by the glass pricing.
It's worth a phone call to the restaurant—especially at the $38 level—to make sure those three ounce pours are fairly priced. As for BYOB during Dine Out? Probably not a good idea. But, as always, it's up to the restaurant.
Yes, this list is somewhat subjective. And we know there may be omissions. In fact there are omissions—as a rule we also haven't included places that have too many extra charges for "special" menu items.
Here are our ten $38 picks …
L'Abattoir – Certainly one of the more inventive menus (we're tempted by the schnitzel with Tantalus Pinot Noir), with good wine matches, plus a good buzz in a fun room. Go early and treat yourself to a fine cocktail.
Bacchus Restaurant – One of the most appealing and well-planned menus, with some seriously tempting tastes and good wine matches. Mix in the service and the surroundings and it's the Real Deal. We'd also be tempted by the hotel package…
Brix – Our experiences have always been good. The menu is thoughtful and the wine pairings are intelligent. Besides they have one of the best Riesling lineups in the city. You could go here and order anything you want to put in your glass to suit your budget.
C Restaurant – Dine Out is all about being able to experience 'special occasion' restos (of which C is certainly one) with a bit of a break. Strong local focus (one of the best)with good Gluten Free and Vegetarian choices and wines to match. Our advice is to try to avoid the likely crazy late-in-the-week nights. Hopefully C will continue its support of worthy local initiatives, even though Robert Clark has moved on.
Don Francesco – Old School Italian and somewhat of a sentimental favourite. Good portion sizes and well documented wine pairings. Reasonable prices.
Federico's Supper Club – Winner of last year's Best Bite Award. A formidable list of choices and quite the overall experience. Book quickly to get in. Sketchy on the wine detes but at least they acknowledge it.
Hamilton Street Grill – Offers both $38 and $28 menus. See our comments here.
Hart House – We wavered a bit because of the up-charge on the sous-vide but relented. A varied menu with good pairings—and a vegetarian option.
Kirin – The shortage of Chinese restos participating in Dine Out is quite shocking, given Vancouver's rep for great Chinese dining. One main reason, we know, is that you need to be a member of Tourism Vancouver to participate—although that doesn't explain the absence of Sun Sui Wah, Floata etc. Our hunch is that Kirin would be worth it. And yes, you can drink CedarCreek Gewurz with just about anything …
Provence Mediterranean – An excellent line-up (Honey Mussel soup with watercress cream and harissa oil has me drooling) with good pairings, plus we like the Ocean Wise options. Also a $28 lunch menu.

Econ's Marcel Studer on-air about Passive House
What makes Passive House different than other green building standards? BCIT and Marcel Studer of Econ Group Ltd sit down to have a chat.
What makes Passive House different than other green building standards? BCIT and Marcel Studer of Econ Group Ltd sit down to have a chat.
As one of the of the most established Passive House builders in the Lower Mainland, we are excited to invite you to our North Shore Passive Under Construction Open House.
Regardless if you are new to Passive House or a seasoned pro this is a great opportunity to see the normally hidden components that distinguish a Passive House and to learn more about details, assemblies and design considerations.
We would like to welcome you on Friday September 25th, 1pm-3pm at 418 10th Street East, North Vancouver.
This is a great opportunity to experience a Passive House in person before the upcoming North American Passive House Conference in Vancouver October 1-2: http://naphn15.canphi.ca/
Econ Group's Marcel Studer was part of the ceremony in Victoria last week at which Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, presented a $100, 000 ICE (Innovative Clean Energy) grant to Canadian Passive House Institute West for their Passive House education and certification efforts.
"This announcement is an enormously significant, clear message that the work and education we all in the Passive House community have been up to in the Vancouver area for the past decade, is beginning to pay off," says Marcel. "It's really an exciting moment to be involved."
The grant will support increased training and certification opportunities for construction and design professionals so that they can build the most energy-efficient buildings in the world, right here in British Columbia. It will help sponsor and subsidize introductory or certification courses in Passive House design principles offered by CanPHI West for up to 200 qualified professionals in British Columbia.
Econ Group has been building to the Passive standard for over a decade, and actually built the first residential Passive House in BC. Our next Passive House project breaks ground in North Vancouver in April 2015, with two others on its heals in May and in the summer. Learn more about Passive House technology at my previous North Shore News article on the topic.
The international Passive House standard is the one of the most rigorous and advanced building performance standards in the world, achieving reductions in heating energy of up to 90% compared to other buildings.

Through the last decades, the notion of building homes in more environmentally friendly ways has become much the norm. Slowly but surely, at least here in Canada, the conversation has shifted onward from discussing why building technology needs to evolve to discussing how exactly building technology can evolve in order to most responsibly take on its own environmental inefficiencies. What once was considered alternative has now become quite mainstream.
Consider Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson's Greenest City 2020 Action Plan target: "Require all buildings constructed from 2020 onward to be carbon neutral in operations." Other municipalities around the world are setting the same tone: Melbourne officially became carbon-neutral this year, Copenhagen is pushing for the same by 2025, Seattle by 2050, the entire country of Costa Rica by 2021. According to Vancouver's Action Plan, greening up construction practices here would mean big positive impact: "the electricity and natural gas that buildings use make up 55% of Vancouver's greenhouse gas emissions." Essentially, we need to get building green, and get building green mighty quickly! But we're in luck…enter, Passive House.
The initial principles that eventually gave rise to the Passive House movement were actually developed here in Canada as part of the Saskatchewan Conservation House demonstration project of 1978. And though the project also stimulated the creation of NRCan's R-2000 building certification program, the technologies and methodologies were never adopted into any municipal building code, thus slowing the positive momentum inside our borders. Instead, the findings took root in Germany and Passivhaus was born into receptive hands. Today, thanks in part to stricter environmental regulations driven by proactive policymakers, there are about 50,000 Passive House units worldwide.
At the heart of Passive House is not an overly novel idea. Rather than using old tires or straw bales (like some of its green building cousins), and rather than tallying vast arrays of enviro-scoring criteria (like some other of its green certification relatives) Passive House aims to do one thing extremely well. And that is: keep heat where it's supposed to be.
In order to regulate temperature within the home, a more robust envelope is needed to make the building essentially airtight. Standard framing walls (see my Framing 101 article from 3 July 2013) are made to be super-insulated and double or more the thickness, windows become triple-paned, and solar orientation becomes paramount to success. The need for fresh air and moisture control is managed by a low energy active heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system. The impressive energy savings potential of Passive Houses (many use 90% less energy than traditional, to-code builds) is at the concept's core, however, neither comfort nor affordability are overlooked.
A Passive House, absent of typical drafts, is kept at a constant temperature ever replenished with fresh air. Warming up the space even further literally means either inviting over a friend, turning on another light, or even just lighting a candle! How's that for comfort?
And the costs to build Passive are coming down (as with any other newer technology engaged in the process of catching on and becoming the norm). In places like Germany (the first real adopter of Passivhaus), the incremental cost to build Passive runs under 5% more than a traditional home built to code.
As a wholly performance-based environmentally aware building methodology, Passive House utilizes energy modeling software to accurately predict how heat and energy will behave in a given (and unique) construction scenario. The design is then honed to produce the most optimal result based on the parameters of the site, etc.
With 2020 around the corner for our Vancouver area's target to build only carbon-neutral buildings, Passive House offers a proven platform onto which photovoltaic solutions or the like can be added in order to supplement the small amount of active energy input required to become Net-Zero or carbon-neutral. It is a no-nonsense, science-backed solution that reduces our housing footprint while creating homes and communities that are built to last.

Over the last few weeks, it seems like the days have been spent less in shorts and more in woollen long-johns, the children scurrying off to school sack-packed with muddy-buddies and rain boots. Ahh yes, truly summer has officially waned and autumn is here. Time to bring out the knitting, the hot water bottles, the novel abandoned back in June. Finding warmth is now at the top of my biological imperatives list. In this installment, I'll shed a bit of (vitamin D filled) light on some home-heating options (other than layers of wool sweaters) readily available to us here in the Pacific Northwest.
Passive solar heating is, by far, the most ideal and most efficient option available. Rather than relying on solar panels (used in active solar, or photovoltaic, electric generation), passive solar is achieved through the direct heating of thermal masses within the home. The warmth absorbed by these masses while the sun is shining is then radiated out as the ambient air temperature cools (and the sun goes down). (Anyone who has sat on the sandstone beaches of our area after sunset can attest to this effect.) Whether it's the floor, the walls, or a giant decorative black boulder that sits in the centre of your living room floor, as long as the envelope and windows of a home are robust enough (recall the Passive House principals I described 2 months ago: double wall thicknesses, triple-pane windows), then the warmth will be absorbed and re-radiated as described. While there is no downside to this carbon-neutral and zero-cost heating method, relying on it for your home's heat does require specific building positioning to the sun and the incorporation of the previously mentioned robustness. I encourage anyone seriously considering passive heating to familiarize themselves more broadly with Passive House design principles. (Please do not hesitate to email me directly for more.)
Geothermal heating is another efficient option for some in our area. The process operates from the heat differential that exists between the temperature of the air and the temperature of the land just below the surface. With the aid of an electrically powered ground source heat pump, the energy is extracted and the home is heated (or even cooled in the summer months). The downside of this technology is that it relies on long runs of pipe. People living rurally may not have a problem with running 1500+ feet of pipe 4 feet deep, while urban counterparts might find the four 300 foot deep holes necessary (due to lot size constraints) rather cost prohibitive.
Radiant heating is experienced via radiators (hot water or electric), masonry stoves (in Europe mostly), and, most popularly these days, through electric or hydroponic in-floor systems. If radiant heating is incorporated within a passive solar or geothermal system, or more holistically within a Passive House model, the amount of power it requires can be greatly reduced.
Keeping its inhabitants warm and dry is every home's chief objective. Home design focused from its outset on achieving warmth (or cool depending on the season) has a better chance at long-term success and sustainability than design that treats it as an afterthought. The cost of heating its interior does not have to be the greatest (and most wasteful) operating expense of owning a home.
If you're keen to know more about what makes Passive Houses so energy efficient, how they can literally be heated with candles, I encourage you to check out the Passive House North 2013 Conference going on this Friday and Saturday (the 27th and 28th) at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver.

Sitting at my kitchen table off Grand Boulevard in North Vancouver, my laptop picks up three wireless networks. When I lived in a high-rise near Park Royal, I routinely would see 20 or more pop up. If I take a stroll down Lonsdale, it seems like just about every business has its own; plus my Internet provider has blanketed the area with its wireless network making it ever easier to jump online. The convenience is remarkable. But still, I can't help but feel wary. All of these signals, bouncing around: wireless coverage, lightning speed cell phone networks, Smart Meters, standard EMFs…our bodies sitting in the middle.
Most of us are not strangers to the Smart Meter debate. I walked by a home the other day with 8 "no Smart Meter" signs on its various doors. The group Citizens for Safe Technology has created action kits for Wi-Fi, Smart Meters, cell towers and cell phones stating its concern about the exponential increase in public exposures to harmful wireless technologies. However, BC Hydro defends its technological achievement, stating that "the exposure to radio frequency from a smart meter, over its entire 20-year life span, is less than a single 30-minute cell phone call".
Many, including the WHO, deny that we are at risk within our modern world. The World Health Organization publicly states: "Based on a recent in-depth review of the scientific literature, the WHO concluded that current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields. However, some gaps in knowledge about biological effects exist and need further research."
And it's the gaps that worry me. I am certain that when I turn down the dimmer switch in our bedroom, the light actually buzzes, and am pretty sure I detect a high-pitched ringing when my cell phone is on charge. These items are dwarfed by our very near future filled with smart networks, sensor networks, smart buildings and self-driving cars. From my perspective, the "gap" WHO mentions is that all of these technologies have not been around for long enough to know the greater effects on our collective health.
In the meantime, there are a handful of principles commonly used to limit EMF, wireless and radiation exposure when building a new home. People embarking on construction should have a thorough discussion with their contractor to communicate their wishes, understanding that their desires will certainly translate to extra project cost.
The safest option to decrease EMF exposure is to distance oneself from it as much as possible. This can affect not only one's decision on where to build his/her home (in relation to transfer stations, cell towers, etc.), but also how the home is laid out within the interior. The kitchen and media room are a home's technological epicenters, while the bedroom is traditionally designed to function as a safe-haven from technology. In this regard it is best to keep the kitchen, media room, office and mechanical room grouped together within the home, and sitting as far away (vertically and horizontally) as possible from the bedroom(s).
Furthermore, the permeability of the house's membrane affects the overall shielding to exposure. As builders, our company has experienced that steel cladding and roofing can virtually eliminate radiation, wireless, cell coverage and EMFs from external sources. On the interior of the home, limiting exposure can be achieved by hardwiring your computers, using corded phones, eliminating dimmer switches, installing master kill switches (used to turn off circuit zones during sleep hours, etc.), and running wiring through well-shielded rigid conduit in patterns that do not encircle bedrooms.

Within new home construction one of the most misunderstood matters of business is the area of insurance. For many of us, conversations centred around liability, deductibles and indemnification are invitations to the sweet Land of Nod; however, insurance is an undeniably crucial component of building a new home. Regardless of personal bent, it is vital for all the members of the project team (homeowner, contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer) to educate themselves on the layers of responsibility (and resulting myriad policy types) involved in their specific build.
"Above all, it is essential for the homeowner to remember that he is ultimately financially responsible for anything that happens on his property," warns Gord Thompson of gtinsurance.ca. "This isn't to say that the homeowner is on the hook for the quality of the contractor's workmanship, but it does mean that he has a highly vested interest to understand how to protect himself."
During the initial stage of pre-construction (when the land waits patiently for design and permitting), the property owner holds Site Liability Insurance.
Once site preparation begins (see my stages of construction checklist from 2 weeks ago), the owner continues with her Site Liability Insurance and the Contractor and Subcontractors hold General Liability Insurance. The General Liability Insurance covers for bodily injury, property damage or personal injury occurring during the Contractor's operations and on completed operations. This creates overlap with WorkSafeBC coverage (that must be held by every contractor and subcontractor working on a project) onto which the homeowner must be added as an "additional insured" party.
At the point that the site is fully prepped and footing/foundation framing is about to begin, Course of Construction Insurance must start. This policy will run throughout the project, past lockup until full completion, and protects against any direct physical loss to the building under construction. It covers construction materials stored on and offsite, as well as those in transit. The limit of insurance must be 100% of the cost to rebuild the finished structure, and it's important to note their common clause invalidating the policy if no work is done for 30 days. A Course of Construction policy can be initiated by either the property owner or the builder; however, the cost of the policy, as well as the ultimate financial responsibility should inadequate coverage exist, are borne by the property owner. Upon completion of the project, the Course of Construction converts to standard home insurance held by the owner.
From Gord Thompson's years of experience, he warns of what he sees to be the most common mistakes that property owners building their own homes make:
Not notifying the insurer about plans to build a new home: many home insurance policies can be extended to new construction
Not starting the insurance until after the home is framed: insurers will charge back to the date framing for foundations started, meaning no savings by delaying the coverage. (Fire hazard is highest in the period before the drywall and fire rated materials are installed.)
Failure to clearly identify who is responsible for initiating the Course of Construction insurance
Not obtaining proof of insurance from contractors. The homeowner should make sure she is named as an "additional insured" to all contractors' liability policies. This proves to the homeowner that the contractor has insurance, and protects her from claims arising from the contractor's negligence (to other parties).
Not getting WorkSafeBC certificates from all contractors: failure to do so could make the homeowner financially responsible if a worker becomes injured on the job
Not budgeting for the insurance costs which are higher than normal home insurance

To anyone outside the construction industry, the process of building might easily feel daunting. As with any other field, terminologies and acronyms abound, making our lingo sometimes sound completely foreign to people outside the business. Over the next few weeks I hope to shed some light on the standard phases of construction in order to help readers feel a bit more at home with building a home. In this part I have used a sequential checklist format for your easy future reference.

NEW YORK - Bounties and bans. Replacement refs and rules changes. Tebow and Manning.
And litigation galore.
The NFL made headlines without even trying during an offseason when there was almost never a day off - certainly not for the league's attorneys.
Forget the 2011 lockout, when everyone was focused on talks between the league and the players' union. This year, pretty much since the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl back in February, it has been nonstop mayhem away from the field.
Even now, as training camps open - yes, we are ready for some football - the names in the news are just as often Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith as they are those of players. When conversation comes around to players, it's usually Jonathan Vilma and his defamation lawsuit against the commissioner, not Peyton Manning's return in a Denver Broncos uniform or Tim Tebow's relocation to the Big Apple with the Jets.
Since early March, the NFL's dominant storyline has been the Saints' bounty program. After a lengthy investigation, the league said it found evidence of a three-year, pay-for-pain system in which Saints defensive players targeted specific opponents, including Brett Favre and Kurt Warner - all with the knowledge of members of the coaching staff and even the team's general manager.
"It is the obligation of everyone, including the players on the field, to ensure that rules designed to promote player safety, fair play, and the integrity of the game are adhered to and effectively and consistently enforced," Goodell said.
The commissioner's comments came as another theme of the offseason developed, with more than 2,400 retired players suing the league over brain injuries. The retirees claim the NFL did not do enough to shield them from the long-term effects of repeated hits to the head, even when medical evidence established a connection between head trauma in football and health problems later in life.
And on yet another front, the union has filed a lawsuit accusing owners of colluding to keep salaries down during the uncapped 2010 season that preceded the lockout.
When it came to the bounties, Goodell took a tough stance.
He suspended Saints coach Sean Payton and linebacker Vilma for the 2012 season. Gregg Williams, formerly New Orleans' defensive coordinator and subsequently hired by the Rams, was suspended indefinitely as the ringleader of the bounty program.
There wasn't much pushback from Saints management on those punishments, but when Vilma, defensive end Will Smith (four games), DE Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay (eight games) and LB Scott Fujita, now with Cleveland (three games) were suspended, they appealed.
And the union filed two grievances, claiming Goodell didn't have jurisdiction to hand out discipline or to hear the appeals.
The league won on both fronts, so the players didn't actively take part in their appeals hearing, which a lawyer for Vilma dubbed "a sham."
Vilma, who weeks later filed a second lawsuit seeking to have the suspension overturned, and the other players continue to challenge the validity of the NFL's evidence.
"Roger Goodell has taken three months to tear down what I built over eight years," Vilma said. "It's tough to swallow. I have been linked to a bounty and it simply is not true. I don't know how I can get a fair process when he is the judge, jury and executioner. You're assuming it will be fair, but it's not."
In many ways, the bounties scandal overshadowed free agency and the draft.
That doesn't even take into account the collusion lawsuit, in which the union accuses the NFL of having a secret salary cap in 2010 that Smith says could have cost players $1 billion in wages. This lawsuit stems, in part, from the NFL stripping the Redskins ($36 million) and Cowboys ($10 million) of salary cap space for 2012 and '13. The league says the union has no grounds for the action and is prohibited from filing it by the collective bargaining agreement.
With the merging of nearly 100 concussion suits, the plaintiffs hope to hold the NFL responsible for the care of those players suffering from such health problems as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Elsewhere, players even sued coaches, with the NFLPA bringing a court action against the Coaches Association seeking payment of a $650,000 loan the players' union said it gave the coaches' group.
The league locked out the on-field officials in June when their contract expired and has begun searching for replacements. The NFL has been down this path before and began the 2001 season with replacement officials.
Just one week before some camps open, three players critical to their teams' chances this season were arrested. Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who served a three-game league suspension in 2009 for violating the personal conduct policy, was cited for DUI.
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was charged with family violence for hitting his mother. Bryant had a series of off-field issues while at Oklahoma State and was barred from playing his final season at the school.
Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a road rage incident.
One subject swallowed up in the off-field quagmire is HGH testing, which doesn't appear any closer to happening now than when it was conditionally agreed upon in the new collective bargaining agreement last August. The players remain unsatisfied with the precision of the proposed tests.
Because of all the issues away from the field, for once, fans might be hankering even for preseason games to kick off. Sure, they're nothing more than exhibitions mostly involving guys you never heard of - many of whom you won't hear from again once cutdown days arrive - but at least they resemble actual football.
That definitely beats talk about suspensions, salary cap violations and collusion.

SheetBlok-Plus Sound Isolation Barrier from Auralex is a dense, limp-mass vinyl material that is about 6dB more effective than solid lead at stopping the transmission of sound. It acts as a thin, dense sound barrier layer in walls, ceilings or floors and is most effective when used as one component of a multi-layered construction scheme.
Some harder-to-work-with applications of SheetBlok (such as ceilings) require an adhesive to temporarily mount the product until the finishing layers can be assembled. To this end, SheetBlok-Plus Sound Isolation Barrier comes with a PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) already attached. The backing simply has to be peeled off and while it's not meant to be a permanent mounting solution, it will easily hold the material until one is ready to put on the finishing layers and eliminates the hassles of troweled-on adhesives and mechanical fasteners, thus saving time.
The product is available in a 30 x 4 foot roll.

Transparency and open government are the cornerstones of our democracy. There is an ongoing effort to take published public notice out of newspapers and give control over the notice publication to local governments. These changes to the public notice laws will result in reduced transparency, fewer open government protections, and less oversight. The inherent inalterability of print, and the third-party oversight they provide, makes newspapers the logical best place for public notices.
- Public Notice is not simply about getting information to vendors – it creates an informed public concerning government expenditures and taxation, environmental issues and public meetings.
- Public Notice enables citizens to keep watch on their government and tax dollars. A lack of access to information about government spending can lead to corruption.
- Public Notice helps raise awareness about governmental and corporate projects and activities that impact the environment, the air we breath, our water supply, and the kind of world we leave to future generations.
- Public Notices must be unalterable, in case there is a challenge to the vailidity of a notice.
- Removing procurement-related public notice from newspapers will disenfranchise minorities, the disabled, the elderly and those in rural communities and will make it harder to reach HUB goals for large contracts. Minorities, the elderly, and disabled Texans – all of whom have statistically lower Internet access – have a right to information about their government.
Ease of Access/Archivability:
- Government websites impose a variety of obstacles to accessing public notices, including registration requirements, forcing the public to download one notice at a time, software incompatibility issues, and disclaimers for the content they provide.
- None of the proposals to move public notice to government websites have included details about standards for placement, archive requirements or a plan to provide independent verification.
- Newspapers maintain extensive archives with the ability to reproduce notices after publication, as well as the ability to supply an affidavit of publication. The proposed changes to current law do not require a similar commitment to access to published notices after the fact – a critical protection for local governments to be able to demonstrate compliance with the law.
- Public Notices published in newspapers are an affordable and efficient method to keep the public notified, are a tiny fraction of local governments' budgets, and are a small price to pay to provide transparency. Newspapers are required by law to charge the lowest classified rate, and typically post notices on their websites for no extra charge and on a central industry website. Further, the Texas Press Association publishes public notices from newspapers in a single location on its website.
- Nothing in current law prevents governments from posting notices on their websites in addition to publishing them in newspapers. For many rural communities, the cost would be greater to put the information on the web (due to costs associated with archiving, ensuring compliance with publication guidelines, and publication verifications).

So, the Dallas arc ended (as did Godric), and there are apparently three more episodes left. Which seems like a lot to me, considering how tiresome the Maryann storyline has become. Let's hope the payoff for those episodes is stonger than the start of this week's ep.
Which brings us to the start of this week's ep. They wimped out — or Luke wasn't a terribly skilled suicide bomber — and no one of any real consequence died in the explosion. They did kill Stan, the only one of the dead that we'd gotten to know, which is disappointing — he seemed like a promising eeeeeeeeeevil character. And much more promising than Isabelle, who was allowed to live and was selected to take over the district after the national vampire leadership ousted Godric over the Fellowship of the Sun business.
When Luke opened his vest to reveal a silver-spackled bomb, Eric hurled his large, manly frame over Sookie to protect her from the blast. He took a few hits as a result, a development he turned to his advantage by asking that she suck the silver from his chest. In the process, she swallowed some of his blood, unwittingly giving them a connection that Bill finds hugely upsettling. (If things were reversed, and Bill found himself with a similar connection to another woman, I'm guessing they would have had a very long discussion about it that would have ended with Sookie flouncing off to sleep by herself. But I digress.) She's also now having sexy (and disturbing — Eric being playful is just as disturbing as Eric smiling) dreams about Eric.
The entire Dallas episode (minus the Eric/Sookie connection, on which they took no official stand) was deemed a fiasco by the national vampire leadership. Godric admitted that he had given himself over to the Fellowship, a choice that was never fully explained, aside from his weak argument that it was only a matter of time before someone was taken. He was stripped of his sheriff status, and vowed to make amends. By that, it seems, he meant he would sacrifice himself in atonement, and headed up to the roof of the hotel to greet the sun. Eric begged him not to ("I will keep you alive by force"), but Godric had made up his mind. The scene would have been much more effective if it had just been between the two of them. Maddeningly, Sookie couldn't leave them alone, telling Bill she felt she had to offer comfort to Godric. Apparently, it didn't occur to her that this might be a private moment between a vamp and his maker. When Eric had to leave, she told him she would stay with Godric until he was gone; she used his final moments — his final moments! — to tell him how stupid it was for him to hand himself over to the Fellowship. When he told her "I want to burn," I suspect it may have partly been to get away from her.
Meanwhile, back in Bon Temps, Maryann was still stirring things up. She still wants Sam as a sacrifice, going so far as to try to snatch him out of the jail cell where he's being held on suspicion of muuuuuuuuurder. Sam, knowing she was coming, transformed into a fly and flew away. Maryann was most displeased by this, though it didn't stop her from angrily releasing everybody. By the end of the episode, she ordered everybody at Merlotte's to help her find him. (She didn't notice the fly that had spent the evening on the table at Grandma Stackhouse's place, watching her play strip poker with Tara and Eggs and, apparently, planning to team up with Andy to take Maryann down.)
That wholesome evening ended when Lafayette and Tara's mother showed up. (Their visit seems to have been orchestrated by Lafayette, who had been enraged by the bruises on Tara's face and immediately jumped to the conclusion that her constant companion Eggs had beat her up — a correct conclusion, though there was a little more to it than that.) Maryann cruelly toyed with Tara's mom, offering her booze and generally being nasty while coaching Tara to do the same. That seems to be the only reason for Tara's mom to be there at all, to serve as a punching bag, both literally and metaphorically — if Lafayette felt like he needed backup, would he really turn to Tara's mother? That's some awfully lazy writing. In the end, Lafayette was able to carry Tara, who had gone all black-eyed, out of the house, and Maryann convinced Eggs not to chase after them.
So what did you think? What's it going to take to bring Maryann down? And do Jessica and Hoyt have any hope as a couple?

Back in April, I received an unexpected phone call from a Macy's employee. They were looking to purchase decor for the Macy's South Coast Plaza store in Costa Mesa, CA. Referred by a loyal modernEID customer, the Macy's employee explained that after reviewing suggestions from key employees, her manager had approved the possibility of decorating the store for Ramadan.
I was floored! How wonderful, that Macy's would honor their employees with such a gesture. I let the employee know that we could of course accommodate her request. However, I recognized that decorating a retail environment would involve specific guidelines. She passed on my information to her manager, who would get in touch with me shortly. I awaited the call with anticipation.
Imagine my surprise when I was contacted the next day by the Southwest Regional Director of Wedding Gift Registry. Not only did Gary hold a distinguished position in the company, but he was one of the nicest, most respectful people I've had the pleasure of speaking to! I quickly learned from him that Orange County receives a large influx of tourists from the Gulf region during the summer months. Since South Coast Plaza remains the premier shopping destination in California, these guests flock there for their shopping needs. Macy's was well aware of this phenomenon, recognized the importance of the customer group, and was looking to make them feel welcome. We scheduled a meeting to discuss the store's needs, and how we could help.
As an Orange Country girl, I hold South Coast Plaza near and dear to my heart. To say I was excited to be going to the Macy's offices would be an understatement. Jumping up and down in jubilation like a schoolgirl would be a more accurate description!
During our meeting, I learned a great deal about the retail world. We spent time looking at modernEID products and brainstorming ideas for how to celebrate Ramadan in-store. I took the opportunity to give them a quick introduction to Ramadan and Eid. I also let them know that while the Middle Eastern and Muslim tourist demographic was important, there was also a large American Muslim demographic in Los Angeles and Orange County that would also flock to Macy's, if given such a gesture. At the end of our meeting, it was decided that they needed to discuss the scale of the project, and get back to us.
As I waited a few weeks to hear from them, I was more than a little anxious. Frankly, I was a nervous wreck! The possibility of a major retailer finally recognizing Ramadan or Eid with decor was so close, and yet seemed so far. More than that, such a gesture was unprecedented, and I knew that this would be the first step to seeing retailers take note of the Muslim American demographic. This goal is among the reasons why modernEID began, plain and simple.
After what seemed to be an eternity, I was called in for a follow up meeting to show some designs and meet with Visual Merchandising. I presented a new modernEID design that I felt would work best for Macy's. They liked it and showed me the tower displays for the signage. Four displays to be divided among the three stores: Women's, Men's, and Home.
It was happening. It was really happening. Nowadays, I found myself sitting at my computer, designing a display for Macy's, The wonder and opportunity is not lost on me, this is a dream come true and a mission realized. As exciting as this was, it didn't stop there.
Later, I was asked to come in for another meeting, in order to finalize details and discuss the possibility of Macy's hosting a "Welcome Ramadan" party. I shared with them the dates of Ramadan and my thoughts on what would be optimal for a good turnout. I also met the representative working for Macy's who was the catalyst behind this whole project. Rima, a lovely Christian Lebanese woman, recognized that many of her customers were Middle Eastern Muslims, and believed strongly that something should be done for Ramadan.
It was set that Macy's South Coast Plaza would host a "Welcome Ramadan" event in store on June 25th from 2-6pm. modernEID-designed display towers would be erected prior to the event, and up the entire month of Ramadan. Even more, I told the store manager about the small Pop-Up Show that modernEID was hosting with other small business vendors on June 22nd. With enthusiasm and support, he asked if Macy's could be represented at our Pop-Up to meet our customers and invite them to the "Welcome Ramadan" party.
What started simply as an idea to purchase some modern Ramadan decor evolved into a partnership with a company that I have so much respect for. Everyone at Macy's South Coast Plaza that I met on this journey, has been so supportive, kind, and excited about the project. Although everyone recognizes that this is good marketing to an important customer base, they haven't lost sight of the significance. While spearheading this project, the store realized they wanted their Muslim employees to know that Macy's cares about them. I was told that when one employee heard about the project, she was so moved she began to tear up.
Macy's is a company that cares about its customers, employees, and community, with such sincerity. They have my utmost respect and dedication as a customer for life. I hope everyone who is moved by this story, shows them the same support they have shown us. This journey is truly a dream realized, and I am grateful to have met so many amazing people who helped this dream come true.
