1. Exclusive: Kate Middleton Shops for Maternity, Workout Clothes, Gets Back to Work
With a royal baby on the way -- and her acute morning sickness thankfully behind her -- Duchess Kate is not content to sit still! Pregnant Kate Middleton has been spotted in London recently indulging in some (budget-minded) retail therapy. On the afternoon of Monday, Jan. 28, the first-time mom-to-be browsed the wares at Selfridge's department store in London -- where she checked out casual and sportswear at Sweaty Betty, a women's sportswear brand, a store source confirms to Us Weekly.
2. Exclusive: Brandi Glanville's Plastic Surgery Revenge Secret Revealed!
Leave it to Brandi Glanville to get very, very creative with payback! In her new memoir Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills firebrand, 40, looks back on her rocky marriage to Eddie Cibrian his infamous 2009 affair with LeAnn Rimes, their divorce and the (ongoing!) fallout. Sharing the juiciest excerpts from the tell-all exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now, Glanville reveals the shockingly intimate plastic surgery she underwent in the aftermath of the painful split.
3. Bethenny Frankel's Husband Jason Hoppy Wears Wedding Ring Amid Divorce Drama, Steps Out With Daughter Bryn
Jason Hoppy is wearing his heartache well. Less than a week after counter-filing aggressive divorce papers against his soon-to-be ex-wife, Bravo star Bethenny Frankel, the 41-year-old pharmaceutical executive stepped out in New York City looking sharper and more stylish than ever. But earlier in the day, he showed off a more playful demeanor with his 2-year-old daughter, Bryn. Carrying the little girl through the streets of Manhattan, the newly single dad was photographed laughing and goofing off with a joyful and giggly Bryn, who donned a pink jacket and matching tights.
4. Melissa Gilbert Engaged: She and Fiance Timothy Busfield "Looked Really in Love" on PDA Packed Date
Half Pint is head over heels! As Us Weekly exclusively revealed, Melissa Gilbert is set to wed Timothy Busfield. (A rep for the Little House on the Prairie star, 48, first confirmed the news to Us on Tuesday, saying they "are both incredibly happy.") And although few were aware that Gilbert and the thirtysomething actor, 55, were even dating, it was extremely apparent to onlookers at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Monday Jan. 29.
5. Miley Cyrus Wears Tiny Bikini Doing Yoga Moves on the Beach: Pictures
Miley Cyrus is finding her chakra in paradise. On a recent vacation to Costa Rica with fiance Liam Hemsworth, his brother Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky and other in-laws, the 20-year-old singer actress hit the beach in a bikini. While her fiance and his brother were snapped surfing, the Hannah Montana star preferred a more mellow form of exercise: Yoga.

Implementing sustainability plans not only allows transit authorities to demonstrate their commitment to being socially and environmentally responsible; adhering to these programs can also help agencies reap financial benefits. In other words, being green can save green — dollars, that is.
This is the third year of Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's (SEPTA) formal Sustainability Program and its pursuit of a "triple bottom-line" strategy: becoming environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
Adopted by SEPTA's board in 2011 and put into action in 2012, the agency's Sustainability Program uses innovative strategies to capture wasted resources and put them back into productive use to add environmental, social and economic value. SEPTA's recently released Sustainability Annual Report demonstrates how a variety of previously untapped assets are making a difference in the agency's daily operations.
For example, by instituting a single-stream, source separated recycling program at all of its employee locations, passenger stations on the Broad Street, Market-Frankford and Trolley Lines and its downtown Philadelphia and Philadelphia International Airport Line Regional Rail Stations, SEPTA has projected an average cost reduction of 17% (more than $100,000) per year. Before recycling, the agency paid more than $800,000 per year for trash disposal services.
Under the new hauling contract, SEPTA's projected cost of each ton of trash and recycling disposed is $107 and $2, respectively, due to lower transportation costs and rebates for the cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminum and glass. For this reason, the price of the new five-year hauling contract is almost the same as the previous three-year hauling contract.
Essentially, SEPTA received two years of complimentary hauling services by implementing its comprehensive program.
In addition to recycling tangible commodities like cardboard, paper and aluminum, SEPTA is also recycling energy created by braking trains. On the Broad Street (subway) Line, propulsion control boxes reduced energy consumption by more than 8 million kilowatt hours in 2011 — a savings of more than $700,000 per year at the agency's current price for electricity.
On the Market-Frankford (subway-elevated) Line, increased voltage levels associated with regenerative braking, coupled with SEPTA's wayside energy storage project, saved $250,000 in its first year. The two grant-funded wayside energy storage devices the agency is currently installing on the line could result in up to $440,000 in new economic value by capturing and reusing regenerated energy from braking trains. These initiatives will save SEPTA millions of dollars each year in ongoing operating costs.
With its buses, SEPTA is replacing the traditional mechanically-driven engine cooling function with an electronically-driven system to improve its fuel economy. Two pilot units had an 8% to 10% fuel savings (approximately $3,000 in annual fuel savings per bus at $3.00 per gallon).
All of the agency's new buses will be equipped with electric engine cooling upon arrival and SEPTA is now seeking grant funding to retrofit its existing fleet vehicles.
As a result of its diligence, four of SEPTA's 12 sustainability performance targets have already achieved the triple-bottom-line focuses. The program is not rigid — its progress is re-evaluated continually and adjustments are made to ensure further success. After two years, the Sustainability Program has demonstrated that opportunities still exist to advance projects that add value to SEPTA and its region.
With the current shortfall in federal, state and local funding, any time transit agencies can make their dollars stretch while demonstrating good citizenship is a bonus.
In case you missed it...
Read our METRO blog, "'SEPTA beefs up its social assets" here.
Typically, when riding the rails in the Philadelphia region, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority customers can purchase daily, weekly or monthly passes — even onboard tickets — for their journeys. But the weekend of Sept. 26 to 27 will be far from a typical weekend in Philadelphia — Pope Francis will be in town, along with an estimated 1.5 to two million people attending public events along the city's Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Transit authority operators nationwide have been victims of sometimes brutally violent acts, but in Philadelphia, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has had a decrease in bus operator assaults by almost 60% since 2011. How did they do that?
The cost of copper was around $2.50 a pound in mid-June. While that might not sound like a lot of money, when you have hundreds of feet of copper wire, you're talking about thousands of dollars or more. Transit systems, which utilize copper in wiring, are the latest target for thieves looking to make some easy cash.
While PTC may have just recently entered the consciousness of the public at-large, it has been an issue for freight and commuter rail systems since Congress passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act (RSIA) (P.L. 110-432) in 2008 following the collision between a Metrolink commuter train and a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles. Since that time, rail organizations have been working toward meeting the federally-mandated PTC implementation deadline of December 31, 2015. With less than six months to go, several commuter rail systems have said that, not only will they not meet the deadline, they will need several more years before having full PTC implementation on their trains.
Disruptive technologies and the new era of information sharing are helping to evolve and advance public transportation in our nation's greatest cities. Nearly 300 mayors and government officials convened in San Francisco June 19-22 for the U.S. Conference of Mayors' 83rd Annual Meeting, featuring remarks from President Obama and former U.S. Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I was invited to speak in front of these influential government leaders to discuss "Technology and the Transformation of Urban Transportation."

2009 Editor's Choice Awards — Part 3 — The Cheeks & Face
Each award is broken down into a best high-end winner and budget-friendly winner. For each award, the winning brand/product gets a brief description of why, and where appropriate, a link to any in-depth review. These awards are given out by me based on my personal experience with the products. Readers' Choice Awards are completely separate
What were your favorites? Would love to hear them — tell me in the comments!
Part 3 focuses on my favorite products to use on the cheeks and face — from blush to foundation to primer. These were not restricted to new products in 2009; any brand, any product, from any time can win.
Best Cheek/Face Highlighter (High-end): Dior DiorSkin Shimmer
Dior DiorSkin Shimmer ($43.00) are beautiful highlighters that just add a subtle sheen to skin that's glow-y and natural. It's not glitter, it's not even quite shimmer — it's so smooth and refined. I love these over blush or even alone for a very natural, soft look. They're like instant wake-ups for the face — I have every single shade to date (which, lucky for my bank account, isn't too many), but I love Amber Diamond and Rose Diamond the most. You can read my full review here or see one of my favorites, Amber Diamond, in action here.
Best Cheek/Face Highlighter (Budget): Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips ($7.00) are fun, affordable shimmery strips of colors that help add sheen and shimmer to your cheek bones. I like that there are a lot of different versions to choose from, though I am partial to Healthy Glow myself.
Best Everyday Blush (High-end): Benefit Sugarbomb
Benefit Cosmetics Sugarbomb ($28.00) is one of my newest finds and now my best friend. It has the lovely texture and subtle shimmer of my favorite Dior DiorSkin Shimmers but with more color punch (Skin Shimmers are designed to be highlighters, so they're not supposed to have a ton of color, FYI!). Sugarbomb is that great mix of peach, pink, and GLOW! This is a product I could easily wear everyday (and I wear it so often!). You can see me wearing it in these looks or read my full review here.
Best Everyday Blush (Budget): Milani Luminous Blush
Milani Luminous Blush ($3.49) is a pretty peachy-pink with light shimmer. If you haven't already heard, Luminous has been a long-time affordable version of the famous NARS Orgasm Blush. It's not so peach that it's overly warm, but it's not so pink that it gets too cool. Love that it works on both warm and cool skin tones.
Best Cream Blush (High-end): MAC Blushcreme
MAC Blushcreme ($18.50) is one of my favorite products to use in the summer, because it layers really well under powder (blush or just setting powder). Blushcremes are creamy, soft, and look very natural on the skin, because it's almost as if they just melt into the skin. I love, love Posey and Liliscent.
Best Cream Blush (Budget): Revlon Cream Blush
Revlon Cream Blush ($10.00) are easy-to-use creamy, smooth blushes that add just a subtle hint of color to cheeks. The end result is very natural, yet you'll notice you have more color on your cheeks. The compact is kind of cute, with a little pop-out mirror for on-the-go application. (Personally, I use a stippling brush with creamy blushes, so it's not actually so practical for me!) One piece of advice, though, what you see in the pan is not quite what you get — so don't let the color in the pan intimidate you!
Best Powder Blush (High-end): Guerlain Blush 4 Eclat
Guerlain 'Blush 4 Eclats' Sculpting Blush ($49.00) is a four-colored blush available in six different variations. They're ridiculously smooth, soft powder blushes that look natural and have just a subtle sheen that translates to a natural glow kind of look.
Best Powder Blush (Budget): CoverGirl Cheekers Blush
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush ($4.50) are single-shade powder blushes that come in a variety of shades ranging from pink to peach to plum. Colors go subtly and have a tendency to be soft shades rather than deep and intense, lending themselves to a very natural look.
There's more — best in bronzers, primers, concealers, powders, foundations, and tinted moisturizers…

Part 2 focuses on my favorite products to use on the eyes — from eyeshadow to eyeliner to mascara. These were not restricted to new products in 2009; any brand, any product, from any time can win.
Best Pencil Eyeliner (High-end): Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil ($17.00) are soft, smooth, and come in a variety of colors. They're vibrant with rich pigmentation, and they glide on so smoothly. I love how long-wearing they are on my lower lash line. The color range and the softness of the pencil itself really make this one a huge winner in my book. You can read my full review here.
Best Pencil Eyeliner (Budget): L'Oreal HiP Chrome Eyeliner
L'Oreal HiP Color Chrome Eyeliner ($10.00) are some of the richest eyeliners I've tried. Black Shock is easily one of the deepest blacks I've come across in a pencil form. I love the metallic finish of these, and I find them to be very much like Urban Decay's 24/7 Liners. I do hope to see more of these from L'Oreal HiP in the upcoming year. You can read my full review here.
Best Gel Eyeliner (High-end): MAC Fluidline
MAC Fluidline ($15.00) is an excellent gel eyeliner that is easy to work with, doesn't budge or smudge throughout the day, and has a decent color selection. (They used to have more, and MAC used to regularly release limited edition shades, but it's been a minute since that's happened.) I just find Fluidline to be the best of both worlds — smooth and creamy without being too wet nor too dry that it creates drag.
Best Gel Eyeliner (Budget): Sonia Kashuk Gel Eyeliner
Sonia Kashuk Dramatically Defining Long-wear Gel Eyeliner ($8.99) are a great budget-friendly alternative for grabbing yourself a gel eyeliner. They're creamy, long-lasting, and easy to use. The only downside is that there are only three shades available (a vibrant blue, cocoa brown, and black). You can read my full review here.
Best Liquid Eyeliner (High-end): MAC Penultimate
MAC Penultimate Eye Liner ($16.50) is an easy-use liquid liner in a felt-tip pen delivery system. The pointed felt tip edge really helps to make it easier to use, stabilize, and get a rich, even line across the upper lash line. You can read my full review here and see me use it in a look here.
Best Liquid Eyeliner (Budget): Wet 'n' Wild MegaLiner Liquid Liner
Wet 'n' Wild MegaLiner Liquid Eyeliner ($2.99) are easily some of the better liquid liners on the market, but they're also ridiculously affordable. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at liquid liner, I totally recommend grabbing a few MegaLiners to play with. The Turquoise shade has always been one of my favorites!

Dior DiorShow Extase Mascara Review, Photos, Comparisons
DiorShow Extase provides built-in treatment benefits and high-impact lashes in a single stroke! The spherical-shaped Black Pearl Pigments create a 3D volume effect and the exclusive Metamorphosis Powders expand in size by up to 50% after application. Also, SR38 Patented Ceramid brings additional care, reconstructing damaged lashes and promoting stronger and fuller lashes. The Extase mascara features a "Tiered Brush" that is inspired by the "tiered" couture dresses created by the House of Dior. The brush is designed for performance and contains an Exclusive Duo of Fibers: The Black Elastomer Fibers brush out and define the lashes for panoramic fringe and the Gold Nylon Fibers hold and deposit formula, generously coating each lash for outstanding volume.
Whenever I review a mascara, I look to see what exactly the mascara is claiming to do, because I find that like some anti-aging products, mascara is a product type that is often more marketing than results. Extase is designed to volumize and thicken lashes while defining them.
Extase delivers length best — it's exceptionally good at providing you with instantly longer lashes, even with just one light coat of the mascara. That's really the part that I noticed first. It adds some volume, but I wouldn't label this a volumizing mascara. My lashes really looked longer, but not so feathery (as my lashes tend to look with a more volumizing mascara). As far as thickening goes, it thickens well for a such a multi-tasking mascara. I think what stands out about this mascara is the lengthening aspect of it; everything else is decent, but it's hard to separate the volume, thickness, etc. from the dramatic increase in length. The color of the mascara is definitely a deep black; I'd say Chanel Exceptionnel and MAC Plushlash are slightly richer, but they're all in the same ballpark. I don't have any issues with the pigmentation–it's black enough for me.
It does a good job of defining lashes, but to a point, because the mascara will clump up on you if you're not careful. The brush often has excess mascara on it, so removing excess certainly helps, and you can get a good two or three coats of mascara with very minimal clumping. I always recommend using a mascara comb regardless of the mascara you're using, just because it helps separate and define lashes. I wouldn't say this is perfectly clump-free, but I'd say it's a relatively clump-free mascara. If you like to get multiple coats on, just follow my aforementioned tips for a better application.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
03 Apr 2013 03:48 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Argentina, Uruguay
Uruguay's Senate has voted to legalise same-sex marriage by approving a single law governing matrimony for heterosexuals and homosexuals.
Tuesday's 23-8 vote comes after a lower-house approval in December. It will now return to the lower chamber of Congress for amendments.
If the bill is approved, Uruguay will become the second nation in Latin America, after Argentina, and the twelfth in the world to legalise gay marriage.
"It goes beyond homosexuality, it's about a law where everyone shares the same rights and obligations,'' said Federico Grana, a legislator in the ruling Frente Amplio coalition and a member of the Black Sheep Collective, a gay rights group that presented the bill's first draft.
The bill lets couples, gay or straight, decide whose surname goes first when they name their children.
"This is an issue of liberty, of people's choice and justice,'' said Senator Rafael Michelini.
"Liberty because the state should not meddle in who you should marry; of justice because if you marry abroad with someone of the same sex and later return to Uruguay, your marriage should be recognised.''
Church critical
The bill also clarifies rules for adoption and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), and eliminates the words "husband and wife" in marriage contracts, referring instead to the gender-neutral "contracting parties".
The Roman Catholic Church opposes the proposal, but the Church has little political influence in secular Uruguay, which became the first Latin American country to legalise abortion last year. President Jose Mujica has been pushing for liberal-leaning proposals in his mandate and says he plans to sign the marriage bill into law.
US-based Human Rights Watch welcomed the Senate vote, urging the lower house to pass the bill swiftly.
"Uruguayan senators made the right decision by allowing same-sex couples to marry," said the group's Boris Dittrich.
"Final approval will enable gays and lesbians in Uruguay to marry the person they love and will strengthen the fundamental rights of everyone in Uruguay to equality and non-discrimination."
The bill also includes a measure to raise the minimum age for marriage to 16 for everyone, instead of the present age 12 for girls and 14 for boys.

"Once I have a chance to heal and get over this, I'll decide if a friendship with Jay is one worth having. With his boyfriend having banned him from seeing me, I wouldn't want to make his life harder."
Good point; you and Jay are both in something of a pickle. Which would be harder on Jay? to lose contact with you, or to "violate Bob's orders" and get in trouble? Well who knows, that's something of an unsolveable riddle.
"It pains me so much to think that there is nothing stopping Bob from continuing this destructive path, and using others like he used me. I don't believe he is truly polyamorous, unless polyamory implies using people as a means to an end."
Well, it sounds like Bob doesn't mind
having multiple partners, but Bob wants his partner/s to be monogamous (only being involved with Bob).
"This has been such an emotional roller coaster. I'm curious as to how common this is in a triad type relationship, I wonder if it can work, if it can be successful."
I think it can. There just needs to be realistic flexibility, generous communication, and honest intentions on the part of each person in the relationship.
"But I'm beginning to wonder that about any type of relationship, mono included. The idea of a life partner is starting to seem like a fantasy."
Don't give up all hope. Life partnering (the fulfilling, healthy kind) can be a reality. I can testify that to you from my own experience. And I know of many other life partners who are happy together (though I also know of others who aren't).

"When it comes to Jay it's just so incredibly frustrating. I just can't understand why he would stay with someone who treats him so poorly. I don't think he will be going anywhere any time soon, he is just terrified of having 'wasted five years.'"
How sadly ironic ... On the basis of those five years, Jay will continue pouring more years down the drain ...
Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling marginally better.

Nury's Light Rye
Nury's Light Rye - Crumb
My first attempt at this bread resulted in a delicious-tasting loaf, but it did not have the open crumb that I expected. This was my second attempt. There has been much discussion of the difference the flours used might be making in the crumb.
This time my dough consisted of:
Water - 400 gms
Guisto's high gluten flour - 100 gms
KA Bread flour - 350 gms
KA White Rye - 50 gms
Levain - 45 gms
Salt - 10 gms
I kneaded about 16 minutes in a KitchenAide at Speed 3-4 to achieve windowpaning. I folded twice. The dough doubled in 3 more hours and rose a bit further while retarding for 24 hours. I warmed it 2.5 hours and baked it with steam at 450F for 5 minutes then at 425F with convection for another 25 minutes. I left it in the turned off oven with the door cracked for another 5 minutes.
As you can see, I achieved the more open crumb I wanted. However, the white rye resulted in a less sour and less tasty bread. It is merely delicious, but not as delicious as the one I made with whole rye flour. This small percentage of the total flour sure makes a difference.
I'm not that convinced the diffent flours used accounts for the differnce in the crumb, at least not all the difference. I also handled the dough much more gently in dumping it on the counter, patting in out and placing the cut "loaves."
I must have more data!
Fortunately, this is an easy and fun bread to make, so, until next time ...
I baked the Pain De Camapgne from Daniel Leader's amazing book, Local Breads. I added walnuts and raisins to it. It came out delicious. Here's yet another recommendation for this book.
Anyhow, here are some pics:
Raisin Walnut Sourdough Bread
For some reason I cannot upload a picture of the crumb. A picture, and more info, in my blog: http://foldingpain.blogspot.com/
I am brand new to this site. Growing up, my mother used to bake bread once a week and it was wonderful! I want to start baking my own bread from scratch. I currently have and use a bread machine with prepackaged yeast and flour to put into the machine. But where do I go to purchase good wheat in quantity? What kind of a grinder is best? Do you use elecrtric mixers? I'm interested in trying to bake from scratch, and supplementing my baking with my bread machine. Any tips would be appreciated. I live in Montana. Thank You.
I have had fun the last two days :)
I like not having to make mess or worry about kneading for 10 mins. Thats KAM's job :)
I made some oat bread and a lovely fruit loaf
A crumb shot.
The recipe for the fruit loaf is over at my new food blog but it is explained in simpler terms or more detailed depends on who you are. I mixed it in my mixer for 4 mins....gave my mixer a rest as the instructions said "mix bread for 2 mins then another 2 mins and it should be ready" I say they are wrong and so mix for a couple of mins and give it a rest. I wanted to have good gluten development, and it surely did that :) The crumb is so soft :)
Sourdough chocolate cherry bread has become a Valentine's Day tradition around our house. This time around, I reduced the chocolate a bit to make it a bit more manageable to toast (molten chocolate all over the toaster oven is a real pain in the neck) and used some of Carl's 1847 Oregon Trail Starter that Leemid was nice enough to pass along at the Oregon Fresh Loafers' Meet-up back in September.Awfully tasty stuff.For the President's Day weekend, I did a bit of baking, but was most satisfied with the whole grain sourdough hearth bread that I set up Monday night and baked this morning, which went very well with some chicken soup and a salad this evening. This time around, however, I forgot about folding the dough and so, just before I went to sleep, I remembered that I'd not done a thing with the bread, beyond hydrating it. Out of necessity, I jumped out of the sheets and did the "French Fold." It turned out very well indeed, flavor-wise, at least.OFF TOPIC NON-BREAD PHOTOS AND CONTENT FOLLOWNot that anyone cares about that, of course, but this is a bread forum, after all. Anyway, on Monday, I had the day off while my poor academic wife had to teach class. My daughter was taken care of at her school, so I had ... gasp ... a day to myself!From my house ... well, actually, from down the street, you can see Dimple Hill towering over the valley, a bald hill that stands just five feet shy of 1,500 feet tall. It's probably not a mile from my house as the crow files, but if you have to hoof it like most mortals, it's nearly a 4 mile hike. And it's lovely. Until today, we had 5 or 6 straight days of clear skies and brilliant sun, which soaked all the way down to my bones. On Monday, I was itching to hit the trail.I walked through the Timberhill Open Space, into Chip Ross Park, and then took Dan's Trail to the top. It's a lovely walk through meadows, old orchards and managed forest. It's not old growth by any stretch as it's smack in the middle of the Oregon State McDonald Research Forest, but it does pass by at least one old growth stand.The scenery is nice.But the view from the top is a real treat. Here's a view to the east of the snow-capped Cascades and the Three Sisters. Snow pack in the Cascades is about 190% of normal, so the sisters are all decked out in wedding attire.To the West a view of Marys Peak, which, at 4,097 feet, is the tallest mountain in the Oregon Coast Range.And right before me, Corvallis' little corner of the southern Willamette Valley.The rain does get to me a bit when it goes on, uninterrupted, for weeks on end. But it sure is fun discovering what a beautiful part of the country I now live in.
I am having an affair. I cannot stop thinking aboput him and the possibilities! Oh the possibilities!
His name is KamThats right. Kam. My Kitchenaid Artisan Mixer! *sighs happily*I made bread, rolls and cinnamon rolls yesterday with little to no mess.My kitchen after making all that, would normally be coated in cement like dough and flour with bowls everywhere.(I knead on the benches which takes ages to clean/disinfect with natural stuff before hand and clean the dough off afterwards)I have no pictures, but I am making some oat bread today as well as looking at making some breakfast rolls. I was naughty and ate half a cinnamon roll for breakfast - I ate two last night!(they are small anyway, but I hate eating sweet stuff for breakfast....lets just kick out pancreas into shock for the day shall we?) I just have no will power when it comes to cinnamon rolls. :)SO while eating it and feeling guilty, it dawned on me that I should make a healthy alternative. I had a vision of oat loaf dough dotted with presoaked currants and apricots all soft and gooey, Medjool date pieces also soft and succulent, grated apple to sweeten and perhaps cinnamon or mixed spice or even cardamon. Then filled with St Dalfour Apricot Jam and rolled up. I may even add some ground nuts to it somewhere (should avoid latge nut pieces for Ellas sake)That to me sounds like a delicious, healthy alternatative to uber sweet and decadent cinnamon rolls!
Then I also am thinking of an oat bread dough, made into plain swirl rolls with different fillings such as St Dalfour Jams, stewed fruit, date puree, a fruit and nut mixture. I suppose I should just experiment. Make a double batch of Oat bread dough, and halve it. Make fruit rolls with Jam filling, and the rest as plain scrolls with jam, fruit puree and or fruit and nut fillings.
Oh the things Kam and I can do together!
Posts and pics to come.
I rose my sourdough overnight last night, shaped it this morning, and baked it around noon. By the time I got my camera out, one loaf had been devoured and the second was reduced to this:
One thing to note: I forgot it and left it in the oven an extra 10 minutes or so. Every time I do this I am pleased with the result. Dark bread is well-baked bread!
I also tried the Lavash crackers from the BBA:
Eh... I didn't roll it thin enough, so it was more like a flat bread than a cracker. I also found the dough to be sweeter than what I'd expected. Perhaps this is the nature of lavash, I don't know. Next time I'll roll them out thinner and leave out the honey.
I also baked a buttermilk sandwich bread with some cake yeast I was given by a friend (Catlikethief). I'd never tried the stuff before. It smelled foul when I took it out of the fridge, but it definitely did the trick. I'll be interested to taste the bread in the morning to see if the flavor is at all different.
Sylvia Burgos has a podcast dedicated to artisan bread, cheese, and wine. In the latest episode she chats with Peter Reinhart and yours truly.
Listen here.
And, yes, I know I got the hydration backward. "100% flour, 65% water" it should be. I was tired.
Gotta go heat my oven for today's baking.

Looking for bedroom draperies to coordinate with new bedding, I ordered the Georgetown stripe and the Sake taffeta stripe. The Georgetown was a perfect match with a true khaki/tan and very dark, saturated gray that looks black. They ironed up beautifully and hang like silk draperies. They make my bedroom look like a designer suite.

I purchased the panels in 120 and 96 in lengths and sewed them together because I needed 200'.length. The darkening and lining fabrics are fused onto the drape which made it easier for me to attach them together. These draperies are being used on the side of the window not to cover the window I am using them to cut down on noise bouncing off the windows and wall. Couldn't buy then anywhere for this price. Love them. Thanks half price drapes
martinp1 from Florida 05/02/2014
It washes beautifully. I only wish the pleats were preset., but that is not a big deal. Hangs very smoothly.
kjtprn from Texas 05/02/2014
These curtains are lovely and very high quality. The colors are accurate as described, and they drape and pool on the floor very nicely! The lining is high quality, and the fabric has a silk twill feel to them. I would buy these in every color, if my house had the need! This is the second set I've purchased, the first being a burgundy and gold stripe. Now, if I could just find an excuse to get the black and white striped ones!

Beautiful curtains, great quality, they just didn't match my room. Unfortunately, it's one of those things you don't know until you see them in the space.

Dear Porter Street Families and Staff,
The school year is done and summer is now upon us!
On Thursday, June 25, 2015 we hosted our annual Grade 5 Leaving Ceremony. It was outstanding! I have included what I shared with our Grade 5 students and their families on page 2 of this newsletter.
With my first year as Principal at Porter now behind me I am filled with joy and pride. I love coming to work each and every day and being with our wonderfully curious, creative, intelligent, eager, respectful, kind and caring students! I love working alongside our knowledgeable, experienced, professional and caring staff! I love talking and working with our outstanding Porter parents and families!
The entire school year has been filled with many learning opportunities for our students both in class during the school day and beyond the classroom before and after school and at lunch time.
The end of a school year has, inevitably, staff members who leave for various reasons. On behalf of our Porter Street School Community I would like to thank and wish the following staff members who are leaving Porter Street health and joy in all of their future endeavors!
Each and every moment of our lives is a gift. Once a moment is gone we are immediately given a brand new moment. What we do with and how we use these gifts is up to each one of us.
I am grateful for each and every one of you! I am grateful for the moments, the gifts of our time together.
We look forward to seeing all of our students on Tuesday, September 8, 2015!
Have a safe, restful and joyous summer!!
Warm Regards,
Derek Passaglia

54 Free Social Media Monitoring Tools [Update2012] Future - Technology - Next generation military robots have minds of their own. A number of robots in development for the military are being given increasing amounts of autonomy.
The question is now how they will be used. Think of advanced robotics, and it is easy to let your mind wander to the sentient beings depicted in Blade Runner, or the soulless, autonomous assassins in the Terminator franchise. But, despite widespread press about armed drones hunting down terrorists and insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the increasing use of ground robots to fight roadside bombs, the truth is that most military robots are still pretty dumb. In fact, almost all unmanned systems involve humans in almost every aspect of their operations—it's just that instead of sitting in a cockpit or behind the wheel of a vehicle, humans are operating the systems from a joystick or computer often at a remote base far from the action. Build a Culture around Data for Analytics. Bhattacharya-karyar_paper.pdf (application/pdf Object) Transforming Noise into Signal: Isolating Social Business Results.
One of the biggest obstacles I see that businesses engaging in social media have today is clearly understanding the effect their efforts — particularly in externally facing processes such as marketing — are actually having.
There are a number of reasons for this and together they conspire to create an environment that leads to uncertainty and an inability to claim the fair results of a company's hard work at social engagement with the marketplace. The first challenge to isolating results is the sheer scale of social conversation today. There are over a billion Facebook users today, hundreds of millions of people on Twitter and LinkedIn alone, and there are thousands of smaller yet often more important social networks, online communities, and other niche, special interest and industry-specific community forums where relevant social activity takes place.

Original Paper : Another Presentation by Author: How Linked Lifecycle Data can transform your systems engineering environment. Background: The web of documents Everyone who has ever used a browser is familiar with the World Wide Web that we've been enjoying for many years.
This Web — really a web of documents — has provided a foundation for us to share previously unimaginable amounts of information, yet it has some key implementation details that ultimately impose a limit on its usefulness. The Web represents information as text on pages. It was designed to allow humans to read, filter out redundant information, and infer meaning based on the natural language used, the context of the information, and the existing knowledge of the reader.

How to Repair Your Data - Thomas C. Redman. By Thomas C.
Redman | 11:00 AM September 27, 2012 One can't help being impressed with the effort biologists, physicists, and other scientists devote to data quality. From careful design of experiments and data collection processes, to explicit definition of terms, to comprehensive efforts to ensure the data are correct, no effort is spared.

BuzzFeed's Social Media Editor on Why Twitter is the New Press Scrum.
This post is part of the Social Media Editor Series, featuring interviews with social media editors from news organizations about what they do and where they see social media in journalism going.
Michael Hayes' ambition to make BuzzFeed the number one social news organization is predicated on the idea that social media is the new news. "Twitter is the new press scrum," BuzzFeed's social media editor told The Content Strategist. "It's the place where news goes to break first." He's not wrong. The world of news has largely become intertwined with that of social media, so much so that Hayes said BuzzFeed readers come to the site — or, more appropriately, to its Twitter feed — with the intention of sharing media.

BI still dependent on IT. There's never been a better time for IT to step up and show what tech can do to drive the business.
They're the only people who can set the systems in motion to capture data and mine it successfully. A few years ago when IT/business alignment was the buzz phrase that you heard everywhere, the impetus for this coming to pass seemed to belong to IT. It was all about IT pros developing soft skills and being able to talk "business" with the others at the executive table. That still holds true, but what wasn't completely anticipated a few years ago was the way technology itself would propel the alignment of IT with business. LDAP Directories: The Forgotten NoSQL - Engine Yard Blog. When most Rails developers encounter LDAP, it's usually for user authentication.
And most of the time, there's no choice, they're working under a dictate that requires them to use it. Usually, this means Active Directory, but very occasionally something like OpenLDAP or the Sun Java Systems Directory Server. It's hard to imagine now, but there was once great excitement about the potential for LDAP based directory servers to become more than just authentication servers and morph into general purpose datastores.
LDAP directories promised a single, scalable, high performance data store that could be queried for common information across multiple applications. Five legitimate use cases for NoSQL databases. NoSQL may be one of the most overhyped technology trends in the past couple of years, and a growing number of companies that left their relational databases behind for a NoSQL fling are rethinking their decisions. Yet organizations continue to adopt NoSQL solutions and investors are still eager to pour money into vendors behind the most popular of them. Big Data Market Size And Vendor Revenues. By Jeff Kelly with David Vellante and David Floyer This is the 2011 report, originally published on February 15, 2012.
See Big Data Vendor Revenue and Market Forecast 2012-2017 for the 2012 update. The Big Data market is on the verge of a rapid growth spurt that will see it top the $50 billion mark worldwide within the next five years. As of early 2012, the Big Data market stands at just over $5 billion based on related software, hardware, and services revenue. Increased interest in and awareness of the power of Big Data and related analytic capabilities to gain competitive advantage and to improve operational efficiencies, coupled with developments in the technologies and services that make Big Data a practical reality, will result in a super-charged CAGR of 58% between now and 2016. As explained in our Big Data Manifesto, Big Data is the new definitive source of competitive advantage across all industries.
Below is Wikibon's five-year forecast for the Big Data market as a whole: HP "All in on Big Data." More Acquisitions Ahead? HP has watched Big Data develop over several years and believes that it will cause major disruption in the storage and systems market, says Manoj Goyal, Senior Director of Data Management Solutions in HP's Enterprise Group. As a result, "HP is all in on Big Data," he said in an interview in The SiliconAngle Cube at HP Discover 2012 (full video below). It is working to develop a complete ecosystem around Hadoop that includes hardware, middleware, software, and services to "make Big Data more accessible to customers." And, he said, "While HP does not make its M&A plans public, we are always looking for partners and ways to fill in gaps. Over time big things will happen." Hadoop, Business Analytics and Beyond.

ACBJ archive Researchers at Harvard say that social media is brain candy for those who use it. The study comes as the deadline nears for nominations to participate in the Social Madness competition which will honor companies doing outstanding work in social networking.
Staff Silicon Valley Business Journal A new study from Harvard says the reason that Facebook, Twitter and other social media are so popular and addictive is that they pleasantly stimulate the same part of the brain as when people eat food, get money or have sex. The researchers found that people simply like to talk about themselves and social media outlets provide a very effective way to do that. The researchers at Harvard asked test subjects hooked up to an MRI machine questions about their own opinions and some about other people's opinions. They found the brain was strongly engaged when the test subjects talked about themselves, and less engaged when talking about someone else. What is Web Science? - Web Science Trust.
