VICTORIA, B.C.—Feeling anxious that Canada's publicly funded health-care system is soon to be crushed by the aging tsunami sweeping the nation?
VICTORIA, B.C.—Feeling anxious that Canada's publicly funded health-care system is soon to be crushed by the aging tsunami sweeping the nation?
On Sunday, Aug. 23 Ottawa celebrated its 30th annual pride march through downtown. All four main political parties had a contingent in the parade, with the Liberals first in the line of marchers. Here Orleans candidate Andrew Leslie and a slightly hidden Ottawa South MP David McGuinty walk together, alongside dozens of supporters.
More Liberal supporters march in the parade. Liberal MPP for Ottawa Centre Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-West Nepean candidate Anita Vandenbeld, Kanata-Carleton candidate Karen McCrimmon, and Hull-Alymer candidate Greg Fergus were marching too.
The local Green party contingent in the parade threw their support around Kanata-Carleton candidate Andrew West.
The New Democrats making their way onto the parade route, flanked by local unions UFCW Locals 175 & 633, and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC).
NDP candidate for Orleans Nancy Tremblay was all smiles next to Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar.
Paul Dewar and the NDP supporters were yelling "Happy Pride" as they marched. Carleton candidate kc Larocque, Kanata-Carleton candidate John Hansen, Ottawa South candidate George Brown, and Nepean candidate Sean Devine were there, too.
Despite a petition looking to ban the LGBTory contingent from marching in the parade, about two-dozen supporters took part, holding signs that included "I kissed a Tory and I liked it," and "I am Conservative, I support trans rights." The latter was inspired by backlash over Bill C-279, the trans bill of rights that was killed by Conservative Senators during the last session of Parliament.
Nepean Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, and Ottawa Centre federal candidate Damian Konstantinakos (far right) were the only politicians The Hill Times spotted among the LGBTory contingent.
Ontario Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod. She also marched earlier this summer in the Toronto Pride Parade alongside Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown.
The LGBTorys were joined by Melissa Hudson, the chair of Trans-Action Group, a non-profit focused on Transgender health and employment. As well, some marchers carried signs, seen above, that list the 18 federal MPs past and present who "stand with" the LGBTorys.
The LGBTory contingent calls themselves the 'Rainbow Conservatives of Canada" according to a handout they had at their tent set up as part of the street fair alongside the parade. All parties had sign-up lists at their booths, looking to gain supporters and volunteers. On the handout, it says they want to "break the left wing monopoly on the LGBT community," and includes quotes from former Foreign Affairs minister John Baird, and former VP of the Ottawa Centre Conservative Association Fred Litwin.

...and Chuck has just given credibility to my past statements that the shortages are just regional, not national.
Thanks for your insight Chuck.
They're regional and sporadic.
One side note of all this is, as these "shortages" play out, I'm seeing more liters and handles and plastic bottles on the shelves. Apparently distributors and retailers are grabbing whatever stock is available.
For what it's worth to you guy's in Indy, I saw three bottles of Weller 12 on the shelf at the Crown Liquior in Zionsville (corner of Michigan Ave and 106th I believe). All of the other stores on the North side were dry.
We need to kill this thread right now, stop talking about it and open a new one about how scare Benchmark seems to be getting, in fact heard of a guy whose sister's fiance who works at Goldman Sachs was seen leaving TPS with a case.
Order filling and production logistics at a distillery are not simple.. When KY is out of weller 12, they cant just stop filling orders in the pipeline from others states to ensure it stays on the shelf here. If the current orders take up all the supply, kentucky isnt going to see any more until it is bottled again. And the wheated/weller lines are not dumped and bottled on a daily basis.
We are not talking about a retail operation taking an order, filling a box with warehoused goods and shipping it off the next day. the production/bottling side has to be in sync with sales forecasting and logistics.
Would suspect it has as much to do with demand and supply/schedule of other lines as well. Mixed model production in a sense since this isn't all they make.
So would think it's about:
- capacity of the bottling line + supply of appropriately aged barrels + priority relative to other lines = When
When the cupboard is bare, they bottle as soon as enough of the whiskey is ready. Buffalo Trace has a ton of bottling capacity. The thing they can't rush is the age of the whiskey.
They need to talk to this guy in Cleveland...

A pedestrian passes a wall covered with Apple iPod advertisements July 14, 2005 in San Francisco.
October 6, 2011 Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, died Wednesday at the age of 56. Jobs was a visionary who led the company through the invention of the iPod, iPhone and ipad. But Bob Garfield, co-host of WNYC's On The Media thinks he was something else as well: a liberator, and a brilliant advertiser.
April 8, 2005 Network television audiences are down as cable, the Internet and a host of other new technologies emerge; and marketers are shifting their dollars accordingly. The media world faces an interim of chaos before a new order is determined. The co-host of On the Media delivers his take.

May 21, 2004 NPR's Michele Norris talks with NPR's Bob Garfield, columnist for Advertising Age and host of NPR's On the Media, about the advertising wars between Budweiser and Miller "light" beers.

This is a much more comfortable shoe vs. the 6,7, 8 & 8+ barricades. The upper is a lot softer meaning the toe box is not as hard. Also, now that the stability has been moved toward the mid/rear of the foot thanks to the new chassis, the 9 is much more flexible in the forefoot. As a result I feel a little quicker off the mark without a compromise in stability. Does feel a little lighter also and not as bulky compared to previous models. Also, I am usually a size 10, however in these I wear a 10.5, in fact in most adidas I go up half a size. ... read more
There are some changes to this new line of Barricade tennis shoes; softer upper shell means less break-in time and new look. For me, they did hurt the inside of my ankle for a while for some time. They are a bit narrow which are fine for my feet. My size is usually 11.5 but for barricades I sometimes go up half a size and got a 12. They look good too. I'm not sure about those circles though, but I guess they have to be there. Regarding performance, they are as good as it gets for a tennis shoe. I can say they are like a combination of Barridcade 7 and adizero feather 3 shoes. Easy on changing direction (the silver part is there to hold and brace the foot when changing directions), no slipping, hugs the foot, light and they feel low to the ground too, like a speed shoe. ... read more
Played with Stan Smith's then switched to Eli Nastase's which for me were the best tennis shoe I ever used. I only play in adidas tennis shoes (none of the others work for me [tried them all] as I have schlosis which impacts my bending etc. When I could no longer buy the Eli Nastase's I tried some other adidas shoes but they were just not the same. This shoe is great if you don't want to spend over $80 and if you have a high in step and wide feet. I run on air with these shoes and the are very sure footed. Your feet will thank you. I plan to buy five and store them to last the next ten years...., once six thirteen is available again. ... read more
So far so good. I gave up on Barricades a few years ago because they were too clunky and heavy and they were badly-designed in that they were sharp on the arch of the foot. I'm pleased to say that now they're lighter and much better-fitting. They still run small though (I had to go for 11.5 rather than 11 as the latter were too small). Will see how they go as I wear them in though. ... read more
I have bought a few pairs of these shoes (black/white and black/solar slime). I think they are the best looking barricades ever made. As is the tradition with all barricade shoes, they are like a tank. They take a beating and still stand up straight; tough outsole, probably the best. There is a lot of room in forefoot area (I have narrow feet) and they are comfortable enough. Here is the only con. I find these shoes not as flexible and comfortable as barricade 7. They are a bit on the stiff side (even after wearing them for a few months). And for those who are curious, these shoes are not micoach compatible. ... read more
Compared to the 2014 model of these shoes, I would say it runs 1/2 a size larger. The material inside of the shoes feels softer as well as the outer material since they got rid of the plastic mesh with holes that covered most of the 2014 shoe. It feels like I'm wearing running shoes when I wear them...they are very comfortable. I'm not sure if I don't make as many side to side motions or that I don't notice the stability issue compared to one reviewer...overall if a person can live with the shoe being 1/2 a size larger, I like it more than the 2014 model. ... read more
I am really sold on these shoes, i play a lot of tennis and well fitted shoes are a must, i was fairly happy with the earlier model but these are WOW even better, sturdy base and light well ventilated upper body, fit like a glove, i would love an alternative colour but at this price :( i will make do with the one pair, Yes i would definatly recommend. ... read more
I have purchased team 4 recently and found I move very comfortably on the court. My serve and volley become more efficient as the acceleration and stopping of forward movement are easier. Great stuff. Edward ... read more
Love the shoe, I'm usually a 9.5, got a 9.0, fit was perfect. Very comfortable, did not feel like wearing a boat or neither was it heavy, which was claimed by other reviews. But the color difference from the picture bothers me so much. I can take a normal orange shoe, but upon receiving the shoe, it was just WOW, it's this very bright neon orange with a tint of bright pink Grapefruit color..... ... read more
The shoes really fits my feet, I don't think it needs the break-in time. However, it may leave an issue of being loosen after playing a couple of matches No comments on the durability since I play tennis twice a week, but it could not be a problem because I have owned other pairs of Adidas shoes without any issues of durability. All in all, the classic model is classic. ... read more
I've played tennis in running shoes for 11 years because tennis shoes always made me feel clumsy and lacking in agility. I have wasted money on shoes I've never worn on court because they inhibited movement. I bought these with trepidation but am absolutely delighted with them. They have the feel of running shoes but are durable enough to withstand the pounding they get on a hard court. They are very comfortable and fit true to size. I feel light and agile and don't even notice that I'm wearing them. I'm tempted to buy more now in case they ever go out of production. At last I look like a preoper tennis player! ... read more
Just got this shoes today, and played tennis with it one hour ago. and I have to say that my size is US10, 1.83m height,I found out that the shoes isnt uncomfortable, heavy, it is perfect shoes to me now! ... read more
I ordered these shoes about 2 months ago. They were pretty expensive but wanted to be comfortable while I play tennis. When I buy a new pair of shoes I always wear them for one or two days at home and a office before I take them to my local tennis club, that is the best prevention how not to have any blisters. Anyway, I wore the Barricade about half of day and didn't want to wear them anymore. They are too narrow, my feet very pretty uncomfortable. I hated them. My feet are size 14. "Adidas, you have to make size 14 wider." I don't think my feet are wide at all. Plus my hills felt like the shoes might have come off any time. Can't be only negative, the shoes looked pretty good, better than on pictures. ... read more
When I ordered the shoes at Christmas, I thought the bits that are actually silver were light grey. I have since received vulgar abuse for their vulgar styling. I don't know if the circular patterning has any function, but with 6 months play (usually on artificial clay), the discoloration makes it look as though my feet have some fungal infection If the Adidas shop in Manchester had been open still, I wouldn't have had to rely on a photo on a web site ... read more
Purchased a pair of the 2015 model in Black/Red. Normal size is 10 and they were a little shorter than previous Barricades in 10.

Overall Experience
Good hotel with kids
July 31, 2015
Good hotel with kids... the suite with the separate room for sleeping was great.
comfortable room and very pet friendly
July 27, 2015
Our room was very comfortable and clean. It was conveniently located. We had no trouble sleeping, as it was quite quiet and comfortable. We were on the ground floor and close to an exit for our dog's convenience and ours.
Room is very nice, rest of experience is average
July 27, 2015
Better than the other way around! Once in the room, everything was good. Hotel service is slow and lobby was uninviting. It was fine for what it was.
enjoyable stay at candle wood nanuet
July 19, 2015
My family and I came up from Virginia to visit my wife's family.. I always stay at this hotel when I come up to visit we probably have stayed there about 10x over the last 10 years or so.. it is a decent hotel for the money. Not extravagant, but a good hotel that is near everything in that area..Service has always been friendly and I have never had a problem. In fact they even allowed me to check in a couple hours early which was a great help to me and the family. I would say that the only area for improvement is that the room wasn't as fresh as it normally is when i stayed they..It was clean but i rate it as okay..everything else was fine and i would stay again.

Kosher Poultry
|Pan Seared Duck Breasts with Fig, Apricot and Madeira Sauce
by June Hersh, The Kosher Carnivore
The gamy flavor of the duck pairs perfectly with the sweet taste of the figs and apricots to create a sinfully simple and delicious dish. You could actually forgo the sauce and spoon some of the collected fat over the sliced breasts and be very happy, but why stop at very happy when you can be full out delirious.
10 dried Mission figs, stems removed
In a medium saucepan, combine the figs, apricots and stock. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer, covered for about 15 minutes. Remove the fruit from the sauce with a slotted spoon, chop into small pieces, and reserve. To the pot of stock, add the Madeira, thyme and rosemary. Cook, uncovered, over low heat for about 10 minutes.
While the sauce cooks, prepare the duck breasts by patting the meat dry and then scoring the fat in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to pierce the meat. Sprinkle the duck with kosher salt and pepper and let them rest, on a paper towel to be sure they are nice and dry.
Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet on the stove, and lay the breasts, skin side down in the pan. Cook over medium heat, until the skin is nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using a turkey baster or large spoon, remove the excess duck fat as it collects. Reserve the fat. Turn the breasts over and cook for 5 minutes on the second side. Turn them once more skin side down and cook for just a couple of minutes to crisp up the skin. For rare, you can remove the breasts and cover loosely with foil, let them rest for at least 5 minutes. For medium, continue to cook the breasts for an additional 5 minutes. Alternatively, you could pop the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
While the breasts rest, strain the sauce to remove the rosemary and thyme. Create a slurry by mixing 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water, stir back into the pan, heat and repeat if necessary. Add the reserved fruit and heat through. Slice the breasts, and spoon the sauce over the meat.
Yield: 4 servings
Behind the Counter Have your butcher prepare the duck breasts, with the bone removed, but skin on. Alternate cuts frenched chicken breasts (-$)
Properly scoring and getting a good sear on the skin side of the duck breasts is the key to a well prepared duck breast.

Our thanks to Virtualbookworm.com for sending us a digital review copy of this book.
Adele, Grace & Celine.Adele, Grace & Celine. The Other Women of Jane Eyre(1) explores these three women tangential to the story of Jane and Rochester. Three female characters which Charlotte Brontë uses as little more than archetypes and hardly develops. Adèle is probably the only one that evolves from the stereotype of the young French girl eager for glamour and obsessed with her toilette but affectionate and easily pliable to a docile, good-tempered, and well-principled English young lady. Charlotte Brontë, nevertheless, hides from us this evolution and attributes it to a sound English education correcting her French deffects. Grace Poole is presented as a character with virtually no past and no future who is only there to provide the adequate dose of Gothic epitomising mystery and the hiding of a terrible secret(2). Finally, Céline Varens is only used as the background to Rochester's immoral past when he was entangled with, of all women, a French opera-girl. An immoral, unprincipled, foreign woman, just one step above from prostitution.
The Other Women of Jane Eyre.
by Claire Moïse
322 pages.
Claire Moïse's intention is to provide a background for these characters within the framework created by Charlotte Brontë in her novel. To explore their motivations and satisfactorily explain their personal evolutions. The novel revolves around Adèle's life and covers a long span of time. From the events of the original Jane Eyre novel until the First World War. But we are not dealing with an epic novel because the main action is concentrated on a brief period of time when Adèle and her husband move into their farm house and she fights hard to combine her personal aspirations with life as Lady Gresham, wife of a baronet. Both the windows to the past and the future are open through the bunch of letters that Adèle discovers that Grace Poole and her mother, Céline Varens, were exchanging unnoticed by all.
And this epistolary exchange constitutes the most interesting part of this novel. Because the author makes a considerable effort in order to preserve the Grace's popular, vulgar English with Céline's bad English. This gives authenticity and transpires truth. Not only for things said but for many of the things that are left unsaid or are just hinted at. It's the author's merit that we reconcile and sympathise with Grace and that Céline's motivations, not being entirely unobjectionable, are understandable.
Adèle's story, being the main framework of the novel, is regrettably less interesting. It is unquestionable that the author has carried out a lot of research and presents Adèle's experiences perfectly contextualised within the socioeconomical, cultural and scientific background. And, though it is hard to imagine the Adèle that we know from the pages of Jane Eyre becoming a woman interested in the scientific discoveries of her time (Darwin's evolution theory, for instance) or adventurous enough to become a nurse at the Crimea war, it is not altogether impossible to see her in those roles. A good sound English education can work miracles, Jane would say(3). The problem with the whole Adèle segment in Drayton Abbey is that it is beautifully described but too plain and uneventful. Interesting elements as the presence of Lisette, Adèle's ward, who seems to be an impossible cross between a young Adèle and the young Jane Eyre, are briefly explored and later abandoned.
For the Brontëites around there is plenty to enjoy: Rochester and Jane make occasional apperances in the narrative. They are well characterised and, particularly Jane, very well delineated. The Brocklehurst family also appears and, with one exception, it seems that the sins of the grandfather (the infamous Mr. Brocklehurst of Lowood School) are not going to be repeated. There is a very funny sequence involving Rochester scandalised by Adèle reading that immoral book Wuthering Heights. The nice detail of naming two of Rochester and Jane's children Helen (after Helen Burns) and Maria (after Maria Brontë?)... and so on(4).
This reviewer enjoyed the time spent with the Greshams. It was nice to be received into their home, sit in their drawing room and listen to the latest gossip in the county while sipping our afternoon tea while peeping into their daily lives. Not really so thrilling as a stay in Thornfield Hall but well worth a visit. I will call again.
(1) Why Adele or Celine are consistently not written as Adèle or Céline is difficult to understand. It may be understandable in Adèle's case as she grows up as an English woman and becomes a perfect English lady, but Céline Varens's is harder to accept.
(2) Nevertheless, Charlotte Brontë gives Grace Poole an intriguing, creepy statement because of the timing with which it is delivered:
(...)but I always think it best to err on the safe side; a door is soon fastened, and it is as well to have a drawn bolt between one and any mischief that may be about. A deal of people, Miss, are for trusting all to Providence; but I say Providence will not dispense with the means, though He often blesses them when they are used discreetly. (Chapter XVI)(3) Fortunately this is not a novel along the line of Emma Tennant's Adèle. Jane Eyre's Hidden Story where the characters rather than subverted were perverted.
(4) However, there are several things that could be clearly improved. Grace Poole is presented as a lifelong friend of Rochester's (her father was gamekeeper at Rochester's father's estate). But Grace Poole according to the novel was hired from Grimbsy Retreat (apparently a mental institution) to take care of Bertha. Also according to Claire Moïse's narrative Grace Poole's marriage was short and she had no children. Charlotte Brontë nevertheless clearly wrote:
I'll give Mrs. Poole two hundred a year to live here with my wife, as you term that fearful hag: Grace will do much for money, and she shall have her son, the keeper at Grimsby Retreat, to bear her company and be at hand to give her aid in the paroxysms. (Chapter XXVII)Céline Varens, according to Rochester's narrative in Jane Eyre, left Paris for Italy following a musician or singer, leaving Adèle behind. Nevertheless, in the present novel the event is told differently. Céline writes to Grace that she made Rochester believe that she had died so that he agreed to take care of Adèle. We wonder if Ms Moïse was not thinking of the musical adaptation of Jane Eyre by Gordon & Caird.

Oropharynx lesion biopsy
An oropharynx lesion biopsy is surgery in which tissue from an abnormal growth or mouth sore is removed and checked for problems.
Alternative Names
Throat lesion biopsy; Biopsy - mouth or throat; Mouth lesion biopsy
How the test is performed
Painkiller or numbing medicine is first applied to the area. For large sores or sores of the throat, general anesthesia may be needed. This means you will be asleep during the procedure.
All or part of the problem area (lesion) is removed. It is sent to the laboratory to check for problems. If a growth in the mouth or throat needs to be removed, the biopsy will be done first. This is followed by the actual removal of the growth.
How to prepare for the test
If a simple painkiller or local numbing medicine is to be used, there is no special preparation. If the test is part of a growth removal or if general anesthesia is used, you will likely be told not to eat for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
How the test will feel
You may feel pressure or tugging while the tissue is being removed. After the numbness wears off, the area may be sore for a few days.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to determine the cause of a sore (lesion) in the throat.
Normal Values
This test is only done when there is an abnormal tissue area.
What abnormal results mean
- Cancer (such as squamous cell carcinoma)
- Fungal infections (such as candida)
- Histoplasmosis
- Oral lichen planus
- Precancerous sore (leukoplakia)
- Viral infections (such as Herpes simplex)
What the risks are
- Infection of the site
- Bleeding at the site
If there is bleeding, the blood vessels may be sealed (cauterized) with an electric current or laser.
Special considerations
Avoid hot or spicy food after the biopsy.

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves With the Model XL, you can have music just about anywhere. Travel with style The elegant clamshell case of the Geneva Sound System Model XS may remind you of a classic travel clock until you open it up. Once you see the sleek, Euro-style metal grille and touch-sensitive controls inside, you'll know this is a portable audio system for today's music sources. The Bluetooth advantage You can wirelessly stream audio from any Bluetooth-compatible device to the Model XS. The system is ideal whether you're traveling on business, or just for fun. Open up the Model XS in your hotel room and start playing music right from your smartphone or tablet. Or stream from your laptop or PDA. Surprising sound quality The Model XS uses Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) Bluetooth technology to ensure a high-quality wireless signal from your device. And all that detail won't be lost in playback. The system features two 1" tweeters for precise mids and highs, and a 2-1/4" woofer for surprisingly robust lows. Each speaker is powered by its own amp, and separately chambered to ensure clear, accurate sound without cross-interference. You'll enjoy expansive, detailed sound that belies the Model XS's small size. Convenient clock radio The Model XS features a built-in FM tuner with six presets. While the Bluetooth receiver uses a digital amplifier, the tuner has a separate analog amplifier to ensure optimal radio reception. Also included is a digital clock with a programmable alarm. Touch-sensitive control buttons are backlit for convenience. Elegantly simple controls and displays A line of touch-sensitive buttons along the top of the system gives you easy control.

This story was corrected on May 23, 2013. An explanation follows.
Hundreds more apartments might be headed to the southeast part of Gaithersburg called Washingtonian North across the street from the massive Crown Farm community now under construction.
Camden Property Trust of McLean, Va., is making a pitch to city officials, hoping to get an annexation agreement changed that would allow the company to construct up to 400 apartments on a 27-acre parcel. The parcel once was the site of Manugistics Group's headquarters, with more than 800,000 square feet of office space.
The deal went south in 2000 and the land has been vacant since then, often used by residents as a cut-through from the Shady Grove Village community to the Washingtonian Center. It was also once a driving range.
The land is zoned for mixed-use development, which fits with the proposed project, but the annexation agreement with the city, which supersedes zoning, required solely office use on the land.
The parcel has been owned by Boston Properties since 1998. Jake Stroman, senior project manager for Boston Properties, said the company has not been able to find an office user of the size slated for the property.
"There is a change in the way office space is being used locally. The suburban office space is dying. It is not where office users want to be. They want to be in mixed use properties," Stroman said. "If the land was valued at zero, we still can't make an office development work. That is just a fact right now."
Under the proposal, a 320,000-square-foot office pad would remain available for a future user. However, about six acres of the property would be sold to Camden Properties for apartments renting in the $1,600-per-month range, according to Jay Johnson, director of new development for Camden.
Across Sam Eig Highway, some of the more than 2,000 housing units are already under construction at the 180-acre Crown Farm project.
Downtown Crown is expected to have 538 apartments. The project's Neighborhood 5, however, has been designated for more high-rise multi-family units contingent on the construction of the Corridor Cities Transitway, a transit service from the Shady Grove Metro to Clarksburg, according to Gaithersburg City Planning and Code Administration Director John Schlichting.
A CCT station is expected to be in Neighborhood 5.
"One could say the office market in Gaithersburg is a bit challenged. Therefore, to continue vitality, this is an appropriate direction. We are looking carefully at the number of multiple (residential) units in the pipeline," Schlichting said.
He added that the city's office vacancy rate sits at 12.3 percent — better than the county average, but slightly worse than property inside the Beltway boasting a vacancy rate of less than 10 percent.
Just across the bridge from the Boston Properties site, Washingtonian Rio area offers more apartments, including The Crossings at Washingtonian Center, a complex of 600 units, and Oakwood Apartments, a high-rise of 136 units.
In an odd configuration of city boundaries, most of the north side of Washingtonian Boulevard is in the city, while what is between Washingtonian Boulevard and Fields Road, where the apartments are, is not part of the city.
The vacancy rate for apartments in Gaithersburg is about 3.2 percent, according to the latest survey done by the city in 2012.
In addition to the Camden apartments planned for the Boston Properties site, Lifetime Fitness has proposed building a 127,000-square-foot fitness complex on 8 acres of the site, complete with indoor and outdoor pools, salon and cafe. LA Fitness is slated to be constructed within the nearby Crown Farm property.
According to the schematic development plan, entrance to the Boston Properties site would be off Washingtonian Boulevard. A two-level garage would be just inside the property, along with the future office pad; Lifetime Fitness and its adjacent parking lot is designed to abut Sam Eig Highway. The apartment complex sits on almost six acres to the rear of the property, according to the plan.
Johnson said the amendment would reduce the amount of traffic generated from the site from the original annexation agreement by 40 percent. Schlichting said that because the original owner of the property, Ackerman & Company of Atlanta, made considerable roadway improvements, including the bridge over Sam Eig Highway to the Washingtonian Center, no more roadway improvements are required.
"The change is less intensive than what is approved," Schlichting said.
Possible infrastructure requirements might include bike and pedestrian connections from the property to the adjacent Malcolm King Park and cleanups to nearby stream systems, Schlichting said.
Johnson said a target date for construction on the apartments is mid-summer 2015.
The annexation agreement is expected to be presented to the mayor and council June 17.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly stated the parties involved in the annexation agreement. The developer has an annexation agreement with the city of Gaithersburg, not with Montgomery County.

What you will need:
-Tennis Ball
-Ziptie (or something similar that is stiff but bendable)
-X-ACTO knife
You can also watch the quick tutorial and check out how much fun this project can be here:
Step 1: The Mouth
What keeps the zip ties from sliding back out of the cuts you made in the ball? Evidently, the ends are not threaded and 'zipped' - correct?
Thanks, -Sprout
great job on a fun project!
(tho i used racquetballs i found in my garage)
It also serves as sort of a poor man's Kong toy. My dog got hold of the "Kibble Muncher" and had a blast trying to get the treats out; he seemed to be performing his own Bollywood number. I wouldn't want to leave him alone with it due to safety concerns: it would not be fun to get one's tongue caught in the Muncher's mouth!
Excellent Instructable for a multi-purposed Muncher. Thanks!
that just made my day
Every 'ible' should end with a Bollywood dance scene!!
I'd also like to say that you can rip the tennis ball by sticking your fingers in the slot and pulling hard.
Seriously, you need to make more instructables. This is GREAT!!
Oh yeah. I can see it talking to my dog too. :D
Nice work!

UPDATE: As summer winds to a close, we have a tendency to revisit our Instagram feeds to see just what, exactly, we accomplished this time around. Thankfully, we can supplement our own lack of exotic vacays and backyard soirees with snapshots from some of the city's coolest Insta-snappers. This article was originally published on August 9, 2012.Given our penchant for eye candy, we're naturally pretty into Instagram. Everything just looks better with a nifty filter and a retro-cool border, right? And fortunately, when we set out to catalog some of the District's coolest Instagramers, we found a mix of shutterbugs with a keen eye for subjects and style. Whether they're snapping insider political happenings or artsy tableaux, each account on our list offers up a healthy dose of inspiration, while providing a behind-the-scenes look into a local's life (and some of these lives look pretty glamorous — especially when they use Brannan). So, grab your smartphone, scroll through our favorite local streams, and prepare for multiple servings of photo delight — and lots of reasons to hit the "heart" button.

Over the last years we have done tons of research into our customers' needs when traveling with their carry-ons. These were their main issues:
- CONVENIENCE: All of our customers hate to open their suitcases at security checks to show their toiletries, laptop, or tablet. Therefore, we created four outer pockets for all these items. Easy, and you don't have to show other travelers all your personal stuff.
- OVERHEAD BIN: When you want to get a book from your bag in the overhead bin it is a frustrating process . Now it's easy.
- STRENGTH: Another issue we came across in our research was broken wheels and zippers. We only used the strongest materials and accessories so it's almost indestructible.
- INCREASED SIZE: Often you come home with more than you arrived with after shopping in other cities, so we added a zipper to increase the volume of our bag.
- RAIN AND SAND: There is nothing more frustrating than this, so we only use water resistant YKK zippers, and our wheels work on the beach.
- EASY STORAGE: Our customers like the efficient use of their space. You can reduce the size by folding it down.
- WEIGHT: Airlines decreased the weight allowance in overhead bins. All items used are light weight.
- STYLE: Our travelers want to look smart while traveling.
- And this is our story about how we created the BEST, the most BEAUTIFUL and most CONVENIENT CARRY-ON in the world!!

About Me
Hi I'm Di....I'm a country girl starting her life over again once again. I look forward to all that life has to offer me and what the future holds for me. I'm 50 now. I live in Pennsylvania. I have 4 grown kids and 9 grand children. I suffer from alot of health issues that I'm trying to get a handle on. but it's so hard. I've been through some recent hard, trying times and I'm working on getting back on my feet again, alone again, and getting back into digital scrapping again! I LOVE photography. It is so calming and relaxing to me. I have a desire once I get my health back to where it should be, to be a clown and visit children's hospitals, nursing homes etc. I also love volunteering at nursing homes too. I have done paper scrapbooking for many years and have made more albums then I can remember. But I am addicted to digital photography and loved the idea of digital scrapbooking in place of paper scrapping.

Gallery: Mountain-Like UP Lift Zeppelin Hangar Doubles As a Green Roofe...
The competition called for the hangar to be a "single structure with a clearance of 100 meters wide by 300 meters long and 100 meters in height to house the production and storage of a zeppelin." The requirements also demanded that there be a single door with an opening of 100 meters by 100 meters and the ceiling had to support a crane with which to do work and maintenance. After meeting specific requirements regarding the size of the hangar, OPEN Architecture let their ideas flow freely about what else the structure could be beyond a simple and functional storage space.
Inspiration for the structure came from the geological process of uplift, whereby the earth is thrust upwards. In this case, the earth is lifted up like a blanket to create a pocket large enough to store a zeppelin in and the exterior is covered in a living roof. Working with structural engineer CABR (China Academy of Building Research), OPEN Architecture designed a prefabricated concrete frame and panel system that could carry the load requirements inside as well as a green-roofed exterior. Perforated with skylights, the roof lets in natural light into the hangar, facilitates natural ventilation and aids in the collection of rainwater, which is stored underground in a cistern.
Renewable energy generation systems like photovoltaic panels and micro wind turbines are also located on the top of the structure to generate power for the hangar. But to top if off, the green roof is more than just a pretty facade, it's also totally usable. Hiking trails will be cut around the facility and up onto the facade so visitors can climb around on the roof. Nature walks, rest platforms, picnic areas and even camping sites will be incorporated. Those into extreme sports, like rock climbing and bungie jumping will also find something to do on the hangar's roof, where a climbing wall and other equipment will be built in. The goal then of OPEN Architecture's design is not just to create a practical and functional hangar, but a destination that many people will want to visit and enjoy.

This is really cool. I typically cringe when I see Inhabitat articles on airships since they tend to be about designers or architects with no knowledge of aeronautical engineering designing completely unworkable ships that only muddy the water for practical designs trying to gain traction. This though, is great. If we can glean more revenue from facilities that are there anyways, the resurgence of this very eco-friendly mode of transport becomes that much more likely.
