Tell Congress to reject a budget that cuts Medicare and hurts seniors.
Congressional leaders' new budget is full of harmful cuts that would hurt older Americans. Medicaid would be slashed and seniors could lose access to food assistance programs. Perhaps worst of all, it would cut almost $500 billion from Medicare and open the door to turning it into a voucher program.
It's simply not right that Washington wants to put at risk the earned benefits that seniors rely on to survive. We need to tell them that it's unacceptable to cut seniors' benefits, and that older Americans won't stand for it.
Send your letter now and tell Congress to reject this budget and protect Medicare!

Transformed :: Lazy Day Hammock
July 11th, 2013
Claire here, and even though this time of year is all about winding down and soaking up the sun, it's hard to believe how fast the summer's whirling by. So for this month's installment of Transformed, I set out to create something that would force me to catch my breath and relax: a do-it-yourself hammock! Earlier this week, Kate and I woke up early and took a trip out to The Greenbelt to snap up these photos, but I'm planning on suspending the hammock in my backyard to enjoy it all summer long. This design is super easy to recreate, and best of all, can be fully personalized by incorporating different lace and trim details… keep reading for the full tutorial!
- muslin 2.5 yards (the bolt should be about 44″ wide)
- 1/4″ x 100′ all purpose clothesline
- (2) 3/8″ anchor shackle
- (2) 1/4″ spring link
- sewing machine
- thread (white or off white)
- tape measure
- scissors
- pins
- (2) 5′ length chain (choose a chain with a weight load limit that suits your needs)
- Cut a 1.5″ x 44″ strip of canvas.
- Lay muslin out on flat surface. Pin canvas strip along the 44-inch edge of the muslin, 2 inches in (as pictured).
- Sew around edges of canvas strip. The heavier material will add support.
- Use a tape measure to mark three spots along the 44-inch canvas strip, 11 inches apart. Cut a 1-inch rectangle at each mark, and sew around the edges of each rectangle.
- Fold muslin over so canvas strip is folded in half as pictured, and sew along the edge to create the loop for the rope.
- Cut 4 pieces of rope to 8 feet each (you may burn the edges of the cut rope to prevent fraying). Feed one piece of rope through the opening of the loop and pull out of first square as pictured. Loop second piece of rope from first square to second, etc.
- Tie the ends of each 8-foot piece of rope as pictured.
- Gather the ends of all 4 tied ropes and tie a bow line knot with them around the anchor shackle.
- Repeat steps 1-8 on other end of muslin.
- Make it your own! Add lace, fringe, or paint for some "flare" (used some lace scarves and upholstery trim on mine!)
- Use spring links to connect chain or rope to anchor shackles on each end, and suspend in your desired location.

Hello there you emboldened signals of distress. Today is Tuesday, so that means it's time for another Free Lunch. If you don't know what that is, basically I just get a device and type for 5 minutes, trying not to stop. I'm typing on a computer that isn't mine now, so i'll have to edit in the pictures on my phone afterwards. This doesn't really effect you at all, so I don't know why I shared it.
Starting at 6:49.
Earlier this morning, and then well into the afternoon, I went on a Pokemon Adventure with Jamie throughout the city. It was fun, I got a ton of XP, ate some Wendy's, which I haven't had in a long time, and caught a Moltres!
Now would also be a good time to mention that on the day I was leaving Oak Ridge I was able to nab this Lugia!
This means that I currently have all of the Legendary Birds released in Pokemon Go so far, and Zapados shouldn't be too difficult to catch.
In other news, that WordPress Album project seems to interest a lot of people, so I think it might actually happen! What started as a stray idea has now grown to a half stray idea.
In other, other news, in Clash of Clans we were generally doing well, but then we've lost two wars in a row. Luckily, our match now seems pretty easy, so we will probably be able to take them out easily.
In other, other, other news, on Piano, i'm learning a song from one of my favorite video games, To The Moon. The song is Having Lived, and you can listen to it here. I will probably make a video on my YouTube channel and feature it here once I can play the whole song to perfection. It's one of my favorite piano songs right now 😀
That's going to be all for today, as my time is up. This is a pretty lengthy post compared to how long the regular Free Lunch is, so I hope I maintained readership all the way to the bottom.

Sungai Tua,Selangor State Park (Ulu Yam)
And,it is great to get out of the city every now and then.
Sungai Tua Park is about a half-hour drive out of KL heading towards and then behind Batu Caves.
It consists of a stretch of river,close to the road with various car-parks and access points along the road.
It's really nothing special but as I said, it makes a break from the concrete jungle of KL to see some proper greenery.
It's also a lot cooler,which goes to show that cities like KL are hotter because there are no trees.
Like most places worthy of a visit there is no public transport to get here so you will need to drive or charter a taxi.
The journey there is "interesting" as you get to learn how confusing and poorly sign-posted directions are in Malaysia.
Head towards Batu Caves and then follow the signs to Ulu Yam.
Go past Batu Dam and the multiple park enterances are on the right about 8km before you arrive in Ulu Yam.
The road is a pleasure to drive and the long,sweeping bends and ever-changing gradients make this a favourite for sports car drivers and superbikes.
There are no impressive waterfalls but a series of cascades over boulders with waist-deep water.More for splashing about rather than actual swimming.
If you get bored here,jump in the car and drive down to the main park entrance where it's easier to access the river as there are no steep stairs to climb but still lots of small cascades.
The park is popular weekends and unfortunately many locations are strewn with litter which spoils the whole experience.
How wet you get is up to you.
Oh,and watch-out for leeches.

UFO Sighting Report - Canada
June 2000 : Vernon, British Columbia
Vernon, British Columbia A illuminated Craft Comes To A Hover
Date: June 2000
Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.
I find this very interesting, I was living in Vernon, B.C. in June of 2000 and was working as a care giver for a quadriplegic. I had just finished getting up at about 2:00 a.m. to perform some care for her. I went out for a smoke and was looking at the lake when a very bright light came in over the hill and hovered over the lake. I first thought it was a search and rescue aircraft, but realized there was no sound and the whole craft was illuminated and it wasn't just a search light. I watched it for about 2 to 3 minutes then the light dimmed and it took off straight at a high speed behind the hills and was gone. I always thought it was just my imagination, but maybe not. I hope you get a chance to find out more on these sightings. I'll keep watching the skies.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Anyone can show me how to get a Legend dragon?
What Dragon should i breeding?Loading editor
Just breed two RARE HYBRID dragons. I did with 2 gummys. But u can any of them.Loading editor
Gummy + Cool Fire / Cool Fire + Gummy?????Loading editor
gummy & cool fire or armordillo and cool fireLoading editor
The level from that dragon is free???
I mean not adjusted...Loading editor
Ok In this case the highest chance is Cool Fire + Soccer . At me it worked with lvl 10 cool fire and lvl 15 soccer . Try itLoading editor
My Cool Fire is lvl 12 & Soccer dragon same with u... :DLoading editor
ok but is a higher chance with lvl 10 cool fire and lvl 15 soccer because the highest chance is betwen 95 - 99 if the cool fire is lvl 12 and lvl 15 soccer is over 99 so...Loading editor
Thx... :DLoading editor
I just did a breeding with Armadillo + Gummi. It seems I am getting a legendary dragon in two days. So, I am trying Gummi and armadillo but… judging by the breeding time being 16 hours instead of two days I think I am just going to end up with a hybred. Once I get the hybred taken care of I'll do Armadillo + Gummi again and see if I get another legendary dragon. If it works that way again then that will tell me that it has to be bred a certain way.Loading editor
I will tried, but now i trying to breed Gummy lvl 9 + Cool Fire lvl 21...Loading editor
Well it is official, Armadillo + Gummi = legendary and Gummi + Armadilo = JadeLoading editor

Yeah. Now I am trying legendary + Armadillo. I am gonna see what I get.Loading editor
I'm trying gummi with soccer I'll see what will it come.Loading editor
This reply has been removed
Realy Try breeding any of your Rare hybrids. If you don't have Cool Fire (2) or Soccer (1) any other rare hybrid will work. I see that you're trying Armadillo (3) with Gummy (1) . Of course that can result into a : ● Legacy (1) ● Mirror (3) ● Wind (3) ● Crystal (3) ● Tropical (1) ● Cactus (1) ● Jade (2) ● Dragonfly Dragon (2) ● Star (1) ● Chameleon (1) ● Gold (3) ● Battery (2)Loading editor
i got all my legend dragons from gummy + gummy :)Loading editor
Do you know the easy way yo got it?????Loading editor
Can anyone gave a specific dragons for breeding legendary? please....Loading editor
Cool fire vs. SoccerLoading editor
even though the legendary dragons can be bred using for EX: Gummy+Gummy dragons it's not 100% guaranteed that a legendary dragon will be the end result..least that's what i was told somewhere elseLoading editor
Armadillo + cool fireLoading editor

Michaels is investigating a possible data security attack, CEO Chuck Rubin said in a letter to customers.
The craft store chain recently learned of "possible fraudulent activity on some U.S. payment cards that had been used at Michaels," Rubin wrote in the letter, which is posted to the company's website.
Michaels did not disclose the scope of the potential breach, and the company did not respond to a request for comment by deadline. The company has about 1,100 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Michaels also suffered a data breach three years ago following tampering with parts of the retailer's point of sale terminals.
The incident at Michaels follows other recently disclosed data breaches at Target and Neiman Marcus.
Michaels is working with federal law enforcement and is conducting an investigation with the help of third-party data security experts, according to Rubin's statement.

The new Saint Laurent collection is the male adjacent to the gypsy chic of the women's Spring 2013 collection. Unlike the women's, the men's collection went more grunge with a tron of layering, plaid and distressing. To polish up some of the looks, Hedi Slimane paired some of them with leather pants and tailored jackets, as well as bringing back out his signature skinny suits.
I have to admit that I am actually quite proud that Hedi Slimane re-designed the whole aesthetic of the fashion house. I find the current inspirations would look lost with the previous aesthetic. With the current renaming and design, it works together harmoniously without sacrificing the soul of the fashion house. I am also loving that Hedi is filling the void of Christophe Decarnin right now with the distressing and denim for me. Ohh how I missed those days. See the collection yourself below.

By Alwyn Scott
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The last of six Boeing Co fuselages damaged in a train derailment were expected to be recovered on Tuesday, the railway said, clearing the way for full train service to resume.
But it remained unclear when Boeing's assessment of the damage to its aircraft parts would be finished.
Nineteen cars in a 90-car BNSF Railway Co [BNISF.UL] train derailed on July 3 near Rivulet, Montana. The train carried six 737 narrow-body fuselages and assemblies for Boeing's 777 and 747 wide-body jets. Three of the fuselages went into the Clark Fork River.
The third of those fuselages was due to be recovered on Tuesday, after the other two were recovered on Sunday and Monday, said Lynda Frost, a spokeswoman for Montana Rail Link, a private company that operates on the track where the accident occurred.
While the wreck raised concerns that Boeing's tightly orchestrated supply-chain could be disrupted, possibly leading to a production shut down, analysts said they expect Boeing can easily recoup the lost production by year-end.
Boeing said on Tuesday it continued to assess the damage, and the cause of the derailment remained under investigation.
Boeing has said that the 777 and 747 parts appeared undamaged and were being shipped to its assembly plant in Everett, Washington.
An internal memo obtained by Reuters on Monday said that the 737 production line would continue operating at a normal pace, but that employees who had not already gotten approved vacation were expected to be at work.
"For now, there is no change in our standard operating procedure," Beverly Wyse, 737 vice president, said in a memo to all Boeing 737 employees.
Production work on wings and other components for the six 737s in the derailment would continue "without any impact" but the parts will be stored, she said.
Future shipments from Boeing's supplier, Spirit Aerosystems would not be delayed, Wyse said, noting that alternative railway routes were available. BNSF Railway Co [BNISF.UL], which operated the train from Spirit's headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, said it has a northern route that has remained open.
Frost, from Montana Rail Link, said the southern route where the derailment occurred would be fully reopened after the final fuselage is recovered on Tuesday. The line had been partly open, but closed while salvage crews were working.

easyJet Onboarding and Induction Programme
How does the UK's biggest airline onboard and induct nearly 1500 new staff annually? With a brand-led, online blended induction programme.
Welcome to easyJet.
The challenge
easyJet is the UK's largest airline and Europe's 4th biggest, hiring nearly 1500 new people across the airline annually. They aim to get new people feeling part of easyJet as quickly as possible; to understand what they stand for, where they're going, their role and where to go for support and guidance.
In 2013, easyJet launched their Online Learning Academy using Totara LMS. Through the Academy they offer a range of learning programmes to support the development of their people.
As a 24/7 growing European airline, the induction of their people is no easy task. easyJet needed a blended programme, which made best use of their Online Learning Academy while improving the consistency of message and ability to bring alive the easyJet culture.
Our approach
Create a brand-led experience that explores each part of easyJet's strategy, ambition, values and challenges to help new joiners get up and running as quickly as possible. Here's a snapshot of the design and elements that made this learning a huge success.
Innovative elearning design
- Personality – A strong brand identity and story that runs throughout
- Excitement – Upbeat video taken from their brand campaign
- Efficiency – Designed for all – content and approach fit for use by all new joiners
- Empathy – Packed with stories from people from around the business
- Exploratory and self-paced – Learners can focus on what's of interest to them through an open, non-linear design
- Efficient communication – Providing a clear focus on strategy, ambition and values
- Practical application – Give learners a chance to explore the challenges easyJet face and what sets them apart from their competitors
- Strong advertorial messages – Creating a real sense of belonging from the very start
We designed a range of short, efficient and engaging digital resources targeted at delivering key messages in a fun and engaging way. This gave the learning personality, increased engagement and focused the content on the key areas that make a difference. Our aim was to build empathy with the new joiner, and deliver an experience that was welcoming.
A sustainable solution
We are committed to delivering sustainable solutions for our clients. For easyJet we selected an authoring approach and tool that enabled them to continue to maintain the content in-house using Articulate Storyline.
This enabled us to deliver maximum return on their investment whilst creating a highly creative solution. We shared the templates at the end of project so that easyJet's team could continue to develop content in-house for aspects of their learning portfolio.
The results
Lucy Ventrice, easyJet Talent & Capability Consultant, confirms the impact it's had:
"Our induction eLearning modules were part of our aim to simplify and join up our induction experience across all of our populations from cabin crew, pilots and engineering and maintenance teams to our management and administration functions.
We engaged with champions across the airline to develop the content and support the roll out. People love the look and feel of the modules which are very much in keeping with our brand and values.
Kineo understood our requirements and worked with us to get the best from our current platform, materials and budget. They were flexible with timings and getting things moving quickly."

Things You Don't Really Learn In Medical School. By: Peju Adeniran
Reading the sad story of the University of Lagos female undergraduate, who was alleged to have died in unfortunate circumstances that had to do with sex, consent and an alleged concoction of sex pills my mind went back to a lesson l learnt many years ago in my 4th year of Medical school.
One of the lessons taught in Clerkship involved creating physician room scenarios where pretend patients, with pretend illnesses would be admitted, examined, diagnosed and treated by medical students under the guidance of the lecturers.
On this day, I was pretending to be treating a patient who was a middle-aged hypertensive man and had come into the emergency room in a hypertensive crisis, despite being long-term diagnosed of the condition and placed on properly designed medication.
I was presenting to a Professor, who we had nicknamed "Go forth and do like I say" because of his habit of admonishing his students to do just that.
I had my clinical case notes and had presented, to my mind, a near perfect scenario and how I, as a future doctor, would handle it. Everything had gone well until I got stuck at the final question that the Professor asked me:
"What is the first reason why this patient, who has been hypertensive for five years, would present in an emergency room?" asked the Professor.
All my answers were wrong, as varied as they were: from the expected and logical "hypertensive stroke" or "cardiac arrest" to the illogical; "food poisoning?"
"All wrong"!" boomed the Professor. "In a middle-aged hypertensive man from these parts, from clinical experience, the most likely reason why he would present in your emergency room is sex!"
A pin could have dropped on the floor that day and it would have been heard on the other side of the ward.
Not quite getting what my teacher was trying to say, I asked him if he meant that a hypertensive patient could present in the emergency room from a heart attack or stroke that occurred during sex but he said a loud "no" and continued the lecture.
"This is what you must know," began the Professor, leaning close towards us like he was about to tell the world's most important secret. "You must always be careful when you are prescribing drugs, for instance like one for hypertension, even to a patient that might be currently at the risk of death. If the drugs will affect his ability to have sex, your patient will eventually stop taking your drugs and be non-compliant. So, the treatment will fail, the patient's health will fail and you the doctor, would have failed them both!"
"But Sir…" I stammered in protest "Are you saying that a patient will fail to take his drug even though he knows that he might die just because he doesn't want to give up sex?…. That does not make sense." I was incredulous.
Choosing to ignore my impudence, the Professor instead looked at me and asked.
"Baby doc, have you treated any real patients before?"
"No, Sir" I said sheepishly, now sufficiently humbled.
"Have you treated Nigerian male patients before?"
"Or perhaps you have been married to a Nigerian male before?"
Indeed, at year four, I hadn't. So, silence reigned.
"Then you have no insights into the politics of sexual virility and the bedroom antics of the Nigerian male. You need to gain some insight because it is going to affect how you treat your male patients…."
This time I could only nod my bowed and chastened head in agreement.
"So, do not argue with me, just keep this in mind when designing treatments for your patients and go forth and do like I say."
I never forgot that lesson, and it is fortunate that I did not.
Today, years later, and in clinical practice and experience of my own, I have seen that my esteemed Professor could not have been any more right. And that was the lesson that came to mind as I read about the girl who died after her boyfriend plied her and himself with sexual stimulants.
As the facts of the case are still currently under investigation, I will not state my opinion, professional or otherwise on the case per se. What I will, however, add is that our society is to blame because it keeps promoting the myth of sexual virility and performance, especially in the male thus leading to pressure and unrealistic expectations.

Suicide, drinking top causes of 'unnatural deaths' among Chinese officials, says report
Fifty four officials in China have died 'unnatural deaths' since January 2013, a Chinese media report says on Friday, with just under half taking their own lives
At least 54 Chinese officials have died of "unnatural deaths" since January 2013, according to a report by the China Youth Daily published on Friday.
A breakdown of the causes revealed that 23 of the 54 deceased officials, or 42.6 per cent, were reported to have committed suicide. Drinking and accidents each contributed to nine deaths.
Among the 23 officials who committed suicide, "depression" ranked among the top health issues they had been suffering in the time leading up to their deaths, according to the report.
Several high-profile officials have killed themselves in recent months, according to Chinese media reports.
Xu Yean, 58, a senior official with the State Bureau for Letters and Calls, which handles petitions, was found dead in his Beijing office on Tuesday morning. He was the third high-ranking official to take his own life in the past few months.
Xu had experienced chronic health problems, suffering from tinnitus - a debilitating auditory condition, and had appeared depressed in recent months, according to business magazine Caixin.
Last week, Zhou Yu, a senior police official in Chongqing once hailed as a hero in disgraced leader Bo Xilai's crackdown on organised crime, was found dead in a hotel room. He hanged himself after suffering from depression and poor health, according to the Chongqing Morning Post.
The highest-ranking official to have taken his own life since 2013 is Bai Zhongren, the former president of China Railway Group, a state-owned engineering giant behind many of the country's largest railway projects. He jumped to his death in January.
About 287,000, or 23 per 100,000, people in China killed themselves each year in the period between 1995 and 1999, according to a study published by the Lancet, an authoritative UK based medical journal. Suicide accounted for 3.6 per cent of all deaths in China and was the fifth most important cause of death, it found.
In 2013 a report by China's state Xinhua news agency estimated that 300,000 in China committed suicide each year.

Nintendo has announced the Wii Zapper is to launch across Europe.
Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the Wii Zapper is a frame that houses both the Wii controllers, providing users with an exciting new way to play on Wii.
The Wii Zapper comes bundled with Link's Crossbow Training and will be compatible with various other upcoming titles, including Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, as it launches across Europe on 7th December 2007.
In Link's Crossbow Training players use the Wii Remote in the Wii Zapper to aim at targets on the screen, with the Nunchuk controlling movement.
On the Wii Remote, players simply press down the trigger (the B Button) to fire, or continue the pressure for a more powerful shot.
They can also re-position themselves, turning in different directions by aiming the pointer off-screen. On the Nunchuk the Z-Button acts as a zoom function for the camera so that the shot is completely on target.
The Wii Zapper and Link's Crossbow Training launches across Europe on 7th December at an estimated retail price of around 30 euros.

IIA's 2012 Compensation Study Opens
The most comprehensive analysis of compensation for the internal audit profession, the fifth annual Compensation Study provides internal audit leaders and practitioners with clear, concise data to assess current pay practices and plan for the future.
Last year's study results yielded many key insights to compensation practices and trends in the internal audit profession. As an example, almost three-quarters of the participants in U.S. organizations reported that their internal audit professionals received a base-pay raise over the past 12 months, and many indicated that they expect to give all audit staff a raise over the coming year in spite of what has arguably remained a sluggish economy.
Organizations that complete both phases of the study receive the study results for US $199 (50% off the regular price of US $395). The online report will be made available in September 2012. If you are a member of the Audit Executive Center, the report is complimentary as a benefit of your membership. Get details about joining the Center.
The study is open from May 14 – June 8

For some time I have been manually logging various parameters associated with my aquarium; pH, temperature and CO2 flow-rate. I have become very bored with the daily grind and wish to automate the whole process. The DrDAQ looks like a very good step in the right direction, but I have problem with how to log the CO2 flow-rate.
Currently, there is a "bubble-counter" fitted in the CO2 line. It lets me see, and sometimes hear, bubbles of CO2 as they are forced through a small, water filled bottle. I simply measure the period between these bubbles to obtain an uncalibrated flow-rate.
Do you have any ideas about how I might make a similar measurement using Pico technology?

We were left speechless after word got out about a Target memo that reminded its managers that not all Latinos eat tacos and burritos and dance to salsa.
According to NBC Latino, three former employees of a Target warehouse in Woodland, California are suing the giant over alleged racial racism and retaliation as a result of the document.
In the lawsuit filed, Robert Gonzalez, Bulmaro Fabian and Pedro Garcia-Ayala (who are all Latino) claim that "Caucasian Target managers regularly used racial slurs" while addressing them and other Latino employees. One such alleged slur included: "What the hell, I'm already sweating like a Mexican" and "Only a 'wet-back' can work this hard."

The image you see above looks like a photograph, and if you had nothing but the image to go on you'd be forgiven for thinking that's exactly what it is. But it's actually a painting, and if that's not unbelievable enough, it's a painting created with a finger on an iPad.
The digital illustration is the work of a clearly very talented artist by the name of Kyle Lambert. He created it using the iPad app Procreate, which claims to be "the most powerful and intuitive digital illustration app available for iPad." Now they have a stunning piece of work to back up that claim.
Creating such a photorealistic painting takes more than just talent, though. It also requires a lot of time and hard work. Lambert spent over 200 hours working on Morgan Freeman's face, and in the process made 285,000 brush strokes. The video below shows a 4-minute timelapse of the creation process.
Lambert's motivation for creating such a detailed painting was actually the Procreate app itself. Because it offers a 4K canvas size, he wanted to test just how detailed he could get using it. So he started out with Freeman's general likeness, and then just kept pinching and zooming to add more and more fine detail.
I think he proved beyond a doubt it's possible to create lifelike paintings most people wouldn't be able to tell apart from the real thing. If you add in the fact Procreate only costs $5.99, you can see why it managed to win an Apple Design Award and has nearly 3,000 reviews averaging 4.5/5 stars. For everyone else, it's a piece of work you can refer to next time someone claims tablets are not great for drawing on.

Major East End parcel up for grabs
A sprawling parcel of commercial land with striking views of the downtown skyline has come up for sale, opening up the possibility for a major redevelopment to occur in Houston's East End.
At 136 acres, the plot sits along the Buffalo Bayou and is even larger than the 104-acre site that formerly housed AstroWorld.
"That part of Buffalo Bayou is gorgeous," said Diane Schenke, president of the Greater East End Management District. "We're very excited and hope to have all sorts of folks from around the country taking a look at that site."
Schenke and others said the land offers an opportunity to create a major master plan, which could incorporate the nearly mile-long stretch of bayou frontage and include a combination of uses such as housing, shops and offices.
"It's an incredible piece of property," said developer Frank Liu, who has built high-end townhouses in the area. "Whoever buys it should take advantage of the water."
The site is the former headquarters of global engineering and construction firm KBR.
The company has been moving workers from the site for years as part of a long-term plan to consolidate employees and sell the aging facility at 4100 Clinton.
KBR - or its predecessor company, Brown & Root - has owned the site since 1919 when it started as a road-building operation, according to Schenke.
The property still has five office buildings totaling 720,000 square feet and a 36,000-square-foot employee center, but its industrial structures have been demolished.
KBR is selling the property during a time of escalating growth on the East End fueled by the new Dynamo soccer stadium and light-rail line.
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, which is marketing the tract, said KBR is looking for one buyer, versus subdividing the property, and has not named an asking price.
Parcels in the area have been selling in the $8 to $25 per square foot range, depending on size, location and condition, listing broker Davis Adams said.
East End residents have a strong view of what they feel is lacking in their area.
As this part of town has begun to see more bars, restaurants and townhouse developments, people who live there have been clamoring for amenities like grocery stores and service-related businesses, Schenke said.
While they are eager for change, they hope it is done in a way that will last and look good for years.
"They want to see a neighborhood that is sustainable and family-oriented," Schenke said, "and not one that's a quick flash in the pan."

Lasers used for hair removal are absorbed by melanin. Melanin is what gives our hair and skin its colour. The laser works on a concept based on Photothermolysis. This is taking light and converting it into heat, and this heat damages the follicle. After a series of appointments the follicle actually becomes sterile, making it unable to support regrowth.
We are able to treat all ages, sexes and even darker skin tones. Our Candela Alexandrite lasers are equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device which freezes the skin on contact allowing the light to pass through the skin without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue. This makes it almost painless.
The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is an individual with light skin and thick dark hair. These individuals will receive the best results. If an individual has dark skin and dark hair, they can still be treated, but may need more sessions.
A series of treatments are performed every 5-6 weeks. Hairs grow in cycles and it is only during the growth phase that the follicle is susceptible to being treated. You may find that one treatment has very impressive results, but several treatments are usually necessary for the best results.
Once an area of your body has undergone laser treatment, pulling the strands from the follicle contradicts the treatment, therefore waxing, plucking and using emjoi are not allowed. However, one may shave, cut, use depilatory creams or clippers as often as needed.
After a treatment you can return to work or your daily activities immediately, as there may only be mild redness which subsides within two hours at the most.
The lasers we use are genuine, and not an IPL or Intense Pulsed Light machine. Since lasers deliver light at one specific wavelength, that which is most specific for hair, the energy that can be used is much more effective in destroying the follicle. IPL machines deliver a wide range of wavelengths and are more likely to damage skin at higher energy levels. You will be more effectively treated per session with a laser and will therefore need fewer sessions than with other laser equivalents. Be sure the treatment you choose is with a laser and not IPL. Most clinics cannot use true laser, and try to claim that IPL is an equal substitute.

Disney has brought the world plenty of princesses. We love Belle. The girl is smart, strong-willed and beautiful, without having to be forceful. She was able to save her father, mend the Beast's cold heart and she even got to sing and dance with a talking clock! If those aren't the actions of a hero, then we don't know what is. Of course, we've scoured the world for the best costumes based on her and we found this Adult Belle Ultra Prestige Costume!
This licensed Disney costume is inspired by the classic animated film Beauty and the Beast. Since the dress has the shimmering yellow color from the movie and it even adds sparkling details on the skirt, making it a regal gown that you can wear to any ball! Once you have it on, melting the heart of Prince Adam, while foiling Gaston's evil scheme will be a piece of cake for you.

Exclusive: Richard Dawkins to train as Catholic priestFriday, April 1, 2016
Richard Dawkins has today revealed he has been through a "Damascus Road" type conversion experience after many years of persecuting Christians.
In an exclusive interview, Richard told FamilyVoice Australia the experience was both humbling and life changing. He now looks forward to working with Christians around the globe to further spread the good news.
Church leaders around the globe have also welcomed the news, saying they will be more than happy to work with Mr Dawkins as he begins his new life as an advocate for the faith.

Many local, handmade items available for purchase
Nearly 200 Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, Wyoming region high school students interested in careers in agriculture will visit Genesee Community College on Thursday, Oct. 10, for the second annual Harvest Festival and Farmer's Market. The event features presentations by a variety of professionals and a host of products available for purchase by visiting students, GCC students, faculty, staff and the whole community.
The farmers market vendors will be open from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and located in the central forum.
Students will learn about career options during 20-minute presentations by local professionals, including:
•Dr. Jerry Bertoldo, veterinarian

"Last year's Harvest Festival was a huge success for everyone involved. It is a fun, yet informative way for the students and the community-at-large to see and appreciate all the programs and career opportunities that exist within agriculture in our region," said Debbie Dunlevy, GCC Career Pathways program director and festival organizer. "The petting zoo, networking opportunities and the farmers market are perfect for an autumn day. It's a great time to visit GCC."
The festival's farmers market is open to all from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m.

There are a few countries that are tucked away in the mysterious corners of Europe, popping up after the massive creation of independent countries during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Estonia is one of those countries that I only recognized as breaking away from Russia and that its capital Tallinn was mentioned in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series as a trafficking destination. Despite those dismal attributes, I'm finding there are other far cooler things worth mentioning about this fascinating country.
The name for the country in the Estonian language is Eesti, which is derived from the Ancient Roman word for the area Aesti. Although other Scandinavian and Germanic names refer to the area as Eistland and Estland, later Latin versions of Estia and Hestia more likely lent its name to Estonia, as it's called in English. Estonia lies in the northeastern corner of Europe, with Russia to the east, Latvia to the south, Finland directly to the north across the Gulf of Finland, and Sweden to the west farther across the Baltic Sea. In fact, the distance between the capital Tallinn and the Finnish capital of Helsinki is merely a 51-mile ferry ride. There is actually a proposal to build a tunnel for freight-only between the two cities (the shortest distance would be about 50 km/31.1 mi), which would make it the longest tunnel in the world (far longer than the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in Virginia that I traveled as a kid, which is 37 km/23 mi).
The earliest peoples moved into the area after the last glacier melted, about 11,000 years ago. The oldest settlement dated, the Pulli Settlement, is on the river Pärnu. Historians and anthropologists have noted the changes as the Aestii people moved through the Bronze and Iron Ages, utilizing tools and moving into a more agrarian society, often considering them the ancestors of Baltic peoples. Estonia also had its own Vikings, called the Oeselians, who mostly lived on the island of Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea. This island is also known for being the site of a major meteor crash that formed the Kaali Crater.
During the 12th century, Denmark set its sights on Estonian lands and took it as its own. They set up their capital in Reval (later known as Tallinn). Estonia, and more specifically the Livonian Confederation, was quite receptive to Martin Luther's Reformation. The Livonian War of the mid-1500s, was drawn on religious lines among other things and ended up reducing their population by almost half. After the war, control of the country was handed over to Sweden, and the population boomed once again – until the plague hit, followed by the Great Famine three decades later. Roughly 20% of the population wouldn't make it through those.
Russia later took control of the area, and after WWI and the Estonian War for Independence, they declared independence in 1918 from Russia. However, Russia took it back during WWII, where it remained under their control until Germany invaded Russia and eventually reached Estonia. Then, to add to the tug-of-war occupation, Russia took it back several years later toward the end of the war where it remained occupied until 1991.
The capital city of Tallinn, is an important port city on the Baltic Sea. Not only is it the capital but also the largest city in the country. The old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also listed as one of the world's most digital cities. Estonia on a whole can enjoy bragging rights for having one of the fastest Internet speeds in the world. Tallinn, which used to be known as Reval, has very strong ties to the information technology industry, called by some as the Silicon Valley of Estonia. In fact, much of the development for Skype and Kazaa was done in Estonia. Tourism is also an important industry in Estonia, famous for its castles, zoos, museums, cultural and historical arts centers, shopping, and sports venues.
Estonia is considered a high-income country. It also has a low ratio of government debt to GDP as well. Oil shale mining supplies roughly 90% of electricity for the country. The country used to be dependent on agriculture, but in modern times, that has given way to food, construction, and electronics-based industries. The strongest trading partners tend to be other Scandinavian countries, as well as Russia, Germany, the UK, and the US.
Most of the people here speak Estonian, a language closely related to Finnish, although there are strong borrowings from other Germanic languages. Many of the older Estonians may still also use Russian as a secondary language, left over from the previous Russian occupation. The most commonly studied foreign languages in schools are English, Russian, German, and Finnish.
|Tere means Hello in Estonian.
Clearly, Lutheranism took a strong hold in Estonia from the early days just after Martin Luther hung his famous Ninety-Five Theses. However, since then, other Christian denominations are also found in Estonia, as well as many followers of various earth-based religions, Islam, and Buddhism. Many Estonians also consider themselves to have no religion at all, or at least some kind of open preference for no one religion in particular. According to some polls, while many Estonians do technically list a religion when asked, many of those also feel somewhat blasé about the whole religion issue, causing Estonia to be listed as one of the least religious countries in the world.

For this week's pickled theme at IHCC, I made the Pork Chops, Mustard Sauce (Diaries, p51) again, this time with the cornichons included. Unfortunately, I don't feel like posting about it, so I'll just put the picture here and say we liked the cornichons in the sauce.
Served with Harictos Verts in Walnut Oil (Lunch, p216; HandyBook) and some nice garlicky smashed potatoes. Had some of the Blueberry Zucchini Bread for dessert. Very more-ish. Definitely a keeper.
Yogurt on overnight,
Tuesday/26-Aug-14: Shopping today.
Dinner was a half recipe of Fish Tacos (web) but with six tortillas between the two of us, since that's what was in the fridge. (These are French corn tortillas, which are not as good as the ones I get from the Netherlands; still one more dozen to use up before I can order again from the right place.) Made a Fresh Tomato Salsa as a go-with, but don't know where the recipe came from. Had a big salad as a go-with. We split a classic Magnum for dessert.
Wednesday/27-Aug-14: Dinner was Chicken with Mushroom and Lemon Grass (Diaries, p107), using up all the lemon grass I got recently. This was easy and tasty. For a side there was (sort of) Hot & Sour Stir-Fried Vegetables (Delightful, p55). I didn't have any cabbage or even another brassica, so just left that out. Pretty good anyhow. And some basmati rice. For dessert, a vanilla yogurt each. And a dog walk.
Thursday/28-Aug-14: Made some bread maker bread from the pain au levain mix.
Made a double batch of pâte brisée aka Tart Dough (Tenth, p256), one for dinner, one for the freezer. Dinner was Lemony Ricotta Summer Squash Galette (web), which was really nice. I used only zucchini, since yellow squash are only very rarely available here; the combination would be especially pretty. Finished the Basil Tabbouleh, which held up well, but didn't really go with the galette.
Friday/29-Aug-14: Yogurt on overday.
An easy dinner tonight. There was Curried Zucchini Soup from the freezer, needing only some salt, and grilled cheese sandwiches with bleu d'Aurillac and sliced tomatoes. Good stuff.
Beans on to soak overnight.
Saturday/30-Aug-14: Made some Cayenne Cornbread (BigGerman, p182) in the bread machine.
Beans were cooking most of the day and they still aren't done; wonder how old that package was? In the end I opened a can to make a soup for dinner to go with the cayenne cornbread. Both were good. Some double-chocolate mini-magnums for after. And then a walk looking for Sophie, out after dark again and all keyed up when we found her.
Sunday/31-Aug-14: The beans were improved by an overnight sit. Simmered them some more, then picked the meat off the ham bone and froze it all together for another day.
In the potager. we picked more cayenne (for the freezer), two spiny, fat cucumbers, and two eggplants. Time for some cucumber salad.
Dinner was pasta with Eggplant Sauce with Bell Pepper, Tomato, and Basil (MarCuc, p144; cookbooker). It was good. Two squares each of hazelnut chocolate for after.
I've not touched my Foods of the World cookbook for August, so I sort of arbitrarily declared August as a vacation month and shifted the rest out.
Sophie in late again.
Progress on goals
This week: #1 COOKBOOKS: yes; #2 VEG/FISH: 4,
This month: #3 PASTA: yes; #4 FotW:

Huipil from Tactic #886Posted by admin in HUIPILES, SOLD, Tactic
Beautiful blue huipil! This huipil is from the town of Tactic in the region of Alta Verapaz. This elegant huipil measures 30" across the shoulders, 25″ across the chest*, and 25″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is square and measures 5.25" along each of the four sides. The sides have been stitched to create armholes. *The sides of this huipil have been taken in substantially along the sides (3″+ on each side). If the stitching was removed it would make this huipil much larger.
This beautiful two-panel huipil is elegant with its light and dark blue texture weaving and stunning hand-guided, machine done embroidery across the chest. The embroidery features lovely flowers and a beautiful butterfly. There is some use of metallic thread in the embroidered design. The background fabric is a medium weight blue cotton.
Additional photos can be found here.
This huipil is in very good used condition, with little sign of wear, perhaps loose threads, mainly around the neck opening. This is a lovely huipil, great for wear or display!

Martin Wiles
Martin Wiles is the head of Sustainability on the University Estate Management team and leads a team of thirteen staff who have been responsible for delivering university-wide sustainability initiatives.
Martin and his team are responsible for designing and implementing green solutions to the University's energy problems. This has lead them to an array of successes, including reducing CO2 emissions by 2000 tonnes, despite a growth in the University estate and population , through the carbon management plan. Martin and his team have accomplished this largely by the installation of carbon combined heat and power and solar photovoltaics.
Despite this achievement, Martin's work has not been limited to CO2 reduction; the University now recycles over 80% of its domestic and construction wastes. Additionally, he has made headway in sustainable transport solutions, procurement and construction.
As well as solving practical issues in the University's sustainability aims, Martin has been closely engaged with the student population, through a food cooperative, cycle schemes and student conferences.
Martin attributes his green-mindedness to a geography lesson in 1980; "we were looking at de-forestation in the Amazon, couldn't believe what was happening!". After years of hard work to bring the university this far, his task is far from over as he elaborates; "Making the University sustainable is a long term project, the challenge is to keep everyone engaged with the agenda and taking sustainable actions, the end of 2015 Green Capital year is not the end of our sustainable work".
This blog is written by Cabot Institute member Keri McNamara, a PhD student in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol.

Brace yourself for my typical cautious (jaundiced?) look at internet-goldrush-style-hype, this time pertaining to the website copywriting perspective on Personal Brands. Three well-known personal brands spoke at Interactive Day San Diego'slecture "People are Brands, Too!" on June 16, 2012. All three have thousands of Twitter and Facebook follower and lots of traffic to their websites. Still, I went in cautiously—frowny-face first. Why? The implication is that ALL people can be Brands. It's the If-I-Did-It-You-Can-Too appeal, which I find misleading. The Personal Brands were: Crosby Noricks of PR Couture Allison Friel of TV Guide Letter Theater Sam the Cooking Guy who hated his job at a biotech company so much he created a cooking show even though he had no idea of how to prepare a simple dish.
My Objections to Personal Brand Hype
Right off the bat, it was clear what these three successful brands had in spades: PERSONALITY.
- Crosby Noricks channels "quirky" which clearly stems from her intelligence and wit but also her unusual looks.
- Alison Flierl came across as DROLL to the point of being FLAT, to such an extent the panel mediator actually asked her, "Do you think you're funny?" To which she responded, "I think I'm amusing." She writes for the Conan O'Brien show, however, which means her ability to amuse must be off the charts. In the end, her refusal to pander for laughs, her very drollness, did become funny.
- Sam the Cooking Guy is hyper, IRREVERENT and borderline obnoxious. In other words, he grooves on being the most up front, straight-talking guy in the room, which can be abrasive. It's clear seeing him in person that he disdains the idea of finesse. Many find this style funny, but others find it rude. Sam is well aware of his propensity to offend, but it's just that quality which gets him any audience at all.
The Bottom Line: Website Copywriting for the Personal Brand Hinges on VOICE
And voice hinges on big personality. My daughter has big personality. My son? Not so much. It takes all kinds. My daughter creates chaos but all kinds of fun, too. My son may not be the most dynamic conversationalist, but he's puppy-dog sweet and gentle. Both charm in their own way. Imagine the world's discombobulation if everyone had BIG PERSONALITY. If you are one of the more gentle, observant souls in the universe (and thank heavens for you all!), developing a personal brand may not be for you. Keep in mind, too, that both Crosby Noricks and Alison Flierl have kept their day jobs (Crosby as an ad executive and Alison on the Conan show) and exhort anyone trying to develop a personal brand to do the same.
5 Steps that Get Voice into the Website Copywriting for Your Personal Brand
Have you always cracked up your friends? Found it easy to get the attention of those around you? Found people waiting to hear what YOU have to say? You may be a good candidate as a personal brand. If so, before setting up hosting and pinning down a domain name, take these steps to develop your unique "voice."
- Consider how friends have described your humor and/or personality: intense (Christopher Hitchens), bubbly/annoying (Eddie Murphy), dry (Ellen DeGeneres), sarcastic (Lewis Black/David Spade), academic (Carl Sagan/Neil DeGrasse Tyson), sadistic (Daniel Tosh), smooth (Barak Obama) or other-worldly (Dimitri Martin).
- Accept that your personality and particular personal brand writing style will turn some people off. In other words: you're weird! USE YOUR WEIRD. You will lose some business or attention because of it. Sam the Cooking Guy, predictably, couldn't care less what his detractors say. To get any kind of audience, he was prepared to alienate the majority. Those who want to befriend everyone probably shouldn't attempt to be personal brands. Greg Cook of Stone Brewing is flat out obnoxious on Twitter and Facebook. He decided early to take on the Arrogant Bastard (the name of one of his beers) persona.
- Think of other writers and speakers who may also have a style similar to yours and read them, watch their videos or listen to their podcasts. Pandora now has a comedy channel you can listen to and stream.
- Read long-time writer Les Edgerton's Finding Your Voice: How to Put Personality into Your Writing.
- Once you determine your voice, stick with it, never apologize and keep it consistent across all social media channels: blog, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. When people need a dose of droll, bubbly or academic to get them through their day, they'll come straight to you.
Take the time Develop a Voice for Your Website Copywriting
The online personal brand hinges on carefully crafted web copywriting. Before you stumble on the scene, guns blazing, develop your unique voice. If you're already clever but haven't written much, chances are you have talent. When I taught high school and college English, I always looked for the class smart ass, knowing it would be that person who had a flair with words. That said, they had to take the time to develop their style and often felt awkward at first honing it.
Need a Sounding Board When Developing Your Personal Brand Voice?
Consider joining a writing group. There are thousands on the internet where members exchange pieces they've written and comment. Check with your local library or writers association for in-person groups. Getting honest feedback is the only way you can measure the success of your style. Looking to get a personal brand rolling faster? Contact us! We've seen which online personal brand spaghetti sticks to the wall and which drops to the floor, and we'll give you an honest appraisal.

As my first post on the new triathlon blog, I thought I would share why I'm blogging.
Back to the beginning.... a year ago I wrote a grant to compete in an Ironman distance (2.4mi swim/112 mi bike/26.2mi run) triathlon. I won the grant and have chosen to race Ironman Coeur d'Alene on June 28, 2015.
My background is in running, not cycling. I wrote the grant for a few reasons. As a runner I have gotten about as far in my sport as I can. I finished 34th in the Boston Marathon (18th American) in 2009, I have represented the United States at the World Mountain Running Championships three times, I won the Masters World Mountain Running Championships as a 37 year old in 2013, and have finished second at the Pike's Peak Ascent twice. I am grateful I have had a long and exciting running career, but I'm not getting any younger and probably cannot accomplish these feats anymore. So I needed a new challenge and something different in my life to train for. Plus, an ironman is a cool bucket list item. It's going to be cool when I'm 50 or 60 or 70 years old to look back and say I completed an ironman. Hence the grant was written in hopes of winning the award.
Once I found out I actually won the award (March 2014), I was like "oh crap, now I actually have to do this." I knew I couldn't compete in the summer of 2014 because I needed more time to train. In my grant, I wrote my goal was not to finish an ironman, but was to race an ironman - big difference. Then I found out I had the fiscal year, until June 30, 2015 to compete and use the funds awarded. I looked around at a few iron distance races and chose Coeur d'Alene.
I didn't start training for the triathlon until after July because I was still training for running races until then. And I didn't own a road bike so any rides I did were on an old crappy mountain bike. Anyone who saw me on that thing told me to buy a road bike, and I planned to, but road bikes are expensive and I wanted to make sure I got the right bike, with a good fit, at a good price. So I rode the old mountain bike for 1-2 hours at a time with the thought that spinning my legs and being on a bike was better than not riding at all, even if it was a crappy bike.
In November I finally bought a road bike and started training a little more seriously. The first week of February (20 weeks out) was when I started training very seriously and started following an ironman triathlon training plan. It's now the beginning of April, I've been training for 7 weeks, and I have no idea what type of triathlon shape I'm in or if my training has been beneficial or a complete waste of time. My cycling fitness has increased; my running fitness has definitely decreased, and I have no idea if I'm ready to race or not.
This blog was started to write down my thoughts about triathlon, training, my weeks, my ups and downs, and to share news and stories about my new life as a triathlete.

I've seen some requests for this driver. Since I own one, I decided to be a nice guy and
donate this driver.
If I've not mistaken, this company uses a few chipsets. The one I own has an AGERE chipset.
I've forgotten the installation procedure as I've not used the modem for a long time. I
think you just have to unzip the files into an empty folder. Remove modem entry from the
Device Manager. Restart Windows, select the location of the folder containing the driver
when the New Hardware Found Wizzard windows appears. And the driver should be installed.
For Windows NT, I think you just have to double-click on the setup.exe file.
