Slate – along with a lot of the mainstream media – blew its call on whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his conservative Likud party would win a majority in the parliamentary elections.
But before the final votes were counted, Slate raised an interesting point – did Netanyahu's election almost turn on housing?
Is this why the Obama Administration and Congressional Republicans keep kicking the can down the road?
Also, there is an Israeli housing crisis, where it can take 13 years from start to finish to complete a property.
Here's the run down from Slate:
Israel, it seems, has been suffering from a housing crisis, with real-estate prices skyrocketing well past affordability for most families…From their nadir in 2007 through July 2013, the cost of a home jumped 83 percent, according to the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel.
In Israel, the situation is different. Thanks to tight lending standards, it's exceedingly difficult for young couples to make a down payment. Meanwhile, due to an ungodly amount of government red tape, the Taub Center says it takes 13 years on average for developers to complete a building project. This has led to a housing shortage that, while putting home ownership out of reach for families, also drove up rents 30 percent in five years while incomes stayed basically flat. If that weren't bad enough, a recent report by the State Comptroller's Office suggested that, while Israeli officials understood there were problems in the housing market, they dragged their feet on addressing them.

Lunchbox challenge begins again with new school year
Dreading the challenge of being soley responsible for, say, Thanksgiving dinner for the extended family is one thing. One thing condensed into a hectic pre-holiday week or two.
Then there's dreading the daily challenge — spread out over the course of an entire school year or 12 — of packing a school-day lunch that:
• is at least somewhat nutritious,
• can be kept food-safe for hours, despite the lack of a true source of refrigeration and/or heat,
• is fairly quick/easy to make, and
• will actually be eaten by a child who may be a picky eater or simply may be bored by seeing the same sandwich in his lunchbox for the fifth — or eighth or 11th — school year running.
One way to deal with a lack of refrigeration in a school-bound lunchbox is never to pack any food that requires it. That can be limiting, though, on both the kid-friendly and variety fronts, since it rules out packing lunch meats, eggs and most dairy products.
A better option, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' foodsafety.gov website, is to use multiple cold sources and an insulated lunch box. (A brown paper bag is no help when it comes to keeping cold foods cold.)
Along with at least two cold packs — one is not enough — that can be stored in the freezer until it's time to use them, freezing the meal's drink — a juice box or bottled water, for example — can provide another source of cold for perishable foods and should thaw by lunchtime.
If there is a refrigerator in which a lunch can be stored until mealtime, use it. But if lunch is packed in an insulated bag, be sure to open the lid before putting it in the refrigerator so the cold can reach it. Otherwise, the insulation will do its job in reverse and keep the cold air away from the perishable food inside the bag.
For hot foods, an insulated container is necessary. While in the past this might have seemed to limit the options to chili or soup — or a similar liquid that could be poured from a tall, narrow Thermos — today's insulated containers come in different shapes and sizes. That makes it easier to safely store hot foods such as chicken nuggets, a slice of pizza or a fresh-from-the-oven, main-course ham-and-cheese muffin.
Pinnacle Thermoware, for example, has an insulated, leak-proof thermal lunch container that promises to keep hot foods warm for up to 4 hours and cold foods cold for up to 6 hours. It comes in two sizes, to satisfy both younger children and teens or adults.
The lunch container can be used on its own or as part of Pinnacle's insulated lunch bag kit, which includes a gel ice pack and matching, reusable plastic cutlery.
There also is an increasing number of previously perishable foods that now are packaged so they don't need refrigeration.
Thanks to ultra-high pasteurization, boxed milk doesn't require refrigeration and has a long shelf life, making it a good choice for a student's lunch box. While it can be consumed at room temperature, though, most people are used to milk being cold, so it doesn't hurt to refrigerate it before sticking it in a lunch box and to use cold packs in the lunch container to help ensure the room-temperature flavor doesn't discourage its consumption.
Some varieties of cheese also are packaged to remain shelf-stable, including several Wisconsin Cheese Co. products.
While some websites point to mini Babybel cheese wheels as needing no refrigeration, the company disagrees, saying the minis will remain safe "on the go" for somewhere between 2 and 4 hours before any remaining cheese should be refrigerated.
It also is possible to store both hot and cold foods in a single lunch container, if you use an insulated divider between the sides.
Once you've faced and won the challenge of keeping a food hot or cold enough to remain food-safe until even the latest of school lunchtimes, the other problems — a picky eater or a lack of variety — aren't quite as insurmountable.
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich becomes a personal choice rather than a necessity when a thermal container could just as easily allow you to tote the leftovers from last night's Chinese takeout or when you have enough cold packs to keep the vanilla yogurt and sliced fresh fruit safe to eat with that side of granola or other cereal.
The same goes for leftover macaroni-and-cheese, but who with children ever has leftover mac-n-cheese?

Dear Author Diary,
This will be my new diary; a story of life as an indie author trying to make a living and trying to put meals on my plate…instead of just crumbs. Currently, there are excerpts of the "Diary of An Author" released and more entries to come. I know. When my first book, Crystal Dreams Book One, released on April 2016. I've said that this diary was going to be released in 2017…Then 2018….But writing this diary for a few years now, I've started re-re-writing my first novel in 2015.[…] so pushing this diary off to release at its best is my point. I don't want to release something no one wants to read.
It took me twenty years to write and complete Crystal Dreams Book 1. It will more than likely take a little bit of time to write "The Diary of an Author," to get it edited, and to release it to the world.[…] hopefully…
As most readers know, I was only (almost) 8 years old in the summer of 1997 when I came across something called "writing". I started out writing as a coping mechanism to escape the childhood I had. After all, my mom blamed me for being born a girl (was not my fault – I didn't ask to be born), my brothers hated me for looking like I was more "American" than Asian (brown hair and all), and my dad….He never talked to me except the 4 times in my life where he told me, "You need to listen to your mom more." That's my childhood. Did I mention the day-ins and day-outs of being beaten? My 10 years (that I know of) is riddled with violence. I only thought of being a kind person because of some heroine girl on television named Sailor Moon. I wanted to grow up to be her and save the world from the violence I know existed too well. Turns out, I wasn't out to save the world. I was only here to stand on my own feet and save myself.[…]
When I was three years old, my first memory, I saw my dad hit my mom, and my dad was sent away. To this day, I still don't know where he went. Then he came back less than a day later. No one ever talks about my first memory as a child. No one ever talks about my childhood and the truth inside it: physical abuse, verbal hatred, demeaning me, belittling me, and telling me how I'm fat starting from when I was only four years old. Honestly, how can a little four year old Asian girl, who looks more Caucasian than Asian, be considered "fat"? Please explain that to me.[…]
While my dearest friend's memory is of watching heroines fight back guys on T.V., I lived that heroine life trying to fight bad guys…in real life; my family. My whole childhood had been a soap opera (that's what my friend, Chi, said). I know this "Diary of an Author" is a very personal and private thing to write-living life in poverty, living on the streets, trying to get and keep food on my plate and hoping the rain doesn't get through the leaky roof onto my bedroom floor.
With all the bad things being said about authors and why we're actually writing-for money, for attention, for fame, for everything except enjoyment-I think it's about time someone ought to the set the record straight. I know. Truth doesn't go as far now-a-days as it did 30 years ago. Lies spread like fire as if life is wood after a drought, but people need to know, life as an author is not all sunny days and fun times autographing books. My life, anyway, has only been one bad crying night after another begging for food and hoping for enough this month so I don't spend next month sleeping on the streets. Again. Turns out, the truth hurts, and I'm about to write every moment of it….From the eyes of an author through the "Diary of an Author"…..
Coming Soon

Men may be from Mars and women may be from Venus, but hey, they're all planets, right? Are we really so different from each other? Ask any woman who is in a relationship (or dating someone with the hopes of one day soon being in a relationship) and we would laugh. Of course, we are super different. That's why we have so many problems when we start dating someone new. We just can't seem to figure out how to get along, how to communicate, and how to make the other person happy. Of course, we keep trying... and trying... and trying. Love and romance and relationships are definitely not something that we're going to give up on anytime soon. But sometimes, we wish that we could sit a guy down (not even our own boyfriend, just any guy) and ask him some super tough questions.
Here are 15 brutal questions women would love to get the answer to when it comes to men.
15 Why Do You Hate Commitment?
To all the men out there: what do you find so horrible about commitment? Would committing to one woman really be such a problem? Is having an official girlfriend so terrible that you would just die? We really don't think so but then again, we're not you, so we would absolutely love to know the answer to this brutal question. Sure, not all guys hate commitment. If we have a boyfriend, then he definitely doesn't hate it. Since, well, he's committed to us. Or is he?! Maybe he hates commitment but dates us anyway and it's something that we have to think about and keep an eye on. Great, now we have yet another thing to totally freak out about. We just get so sick and tired of hearing that guys are commitment phones and would love to know the truth. Maybe those guys just don't want to commit to THAT one woman?
14 Is Calling On The Phone SO Awful?
When we date someone, we would love to talk on the phone sometimes. Not all the time. Not even every day. Just sometimes. It fosters a sense of intimacy (but on the emotional or intellectual side -- get your mind out of the gutter!) and helps us feel closer to our boyfriends. If we're working late or hanging out with our friends or going away for the weekend, we're definitely going to miss the guy that we're dating, and so we're going to want to phone him so we feel a bit better about not being able to be with him. It's not really a big deal. At least, it shouldn't be. So to all you guys: why do you make it such a big deal? Do you really hate talking on the phone? Or do you just hear that guys do so you want to be all macho and cool and you're going to pretend that you hate phone conversations when you really don't care either way?
13 What Do You Have Against Communication?
Okay, so this is kind of a joke... but at the same time, it's totally and completely serious. The male gender aren't super known for wanting to communicate, especially about important relationship topics. It's a thing. It sucks but it's a thing. If we're dating someone, we want to know how they feel about us, about the relationship, and about the future. It may be a crazy, foreign concept but it's really how we think. We would love to ask guys what they have against communication since so many of them seem to get upset and shut down emotionally when we bring this stuff up. We don't think that they should hate talking about this stuff as much as they do because it's not always a boring or upsetting talk. Sometimes it's just logistical stuff, like saying that we should probably talk about moving in together if we've been together for two years and keep sleeping over at each other's places all the time anyway. Just being practical here.
12 Why Do You Believe In The Girlfriend Stereotype?
We females know the one: the idea that every girlfriend is a clingy loser with zero life of her own. The kind of girl who yells at her boyfriend when he goes out with his friends, asks why he never wants to spend time with her (whether that's actually true or not), and pushes the relationship forward no matter what. We're not all like that. In fact, most of us are probably nothing like that. So we really don't like when you guys think that we are going to be this super annoying and super awful stereotypical girlfriend. We're just normal people. We're not expecting you to be clingy and we still want you to have your own life even if you're dating us. So why would you think the worst of us? Don't you realize how totally insulting that is? It's just not a good idea to be out there in the dating world and still believe in these stereotypes, we're just going to tell you that right now.
11 Are You Actually Afraid Of Setting Down?
So many guys think that settling down is the worst thing that could possibly happen to them. Well, at least that's what we think or what we hear. Is this a real thing or just a stereotype perpetuated by movies or society in general? We would love to know. Calling all members of the male gender: please let us know if this is real or not. We need to know the answer to this brutal question. We don't think that being in a relationship is a bad thing or even remotely scary, and if you really do, then maybe you haven't met the right person yet. Maybe you're afraid because you feel trapped because you don't care about this girl as much as she cares about you. You're right to feel that way because no one likes feeling trapped. But if you tell her some B.S. about not wanting to settle down yet, yeah, you're wrong to say that.
10 Do You Think Your Life Ends When You Get Married?
No really, do you? We would love to know this because we're just not sure. It seems like this must not be real since a guy freaking out about walking down the aisle is pretty much a bad movie plot that has been done a million times, and yet it seems like some people still feel this way. Will you honestly tell us the truth? Do you get embarrassed that your gender is not supposed to want to get married or even like the idea of being a husband and having a wife? Or do you not even think about this? We wish that we could tell you and every other guy out there that being married isn't really such a big deal. Sure, it's a big commitment, but it should be. It shouldn't be something that you take lightly. But that doesn't mean that your life is totally over. You can still be yourself, have fun, and do whatever you want (within reason). It's pretty confusing, we're just going to leave it at that.
9 Do You Tell Your Friends They're "Whipped"?
You always hear about guys teasing each other about being "whipped" when they're in a serious relationship. This is super insulting to women and just horrible. You hate it so much, you can't even. You would love to ask guys if they really use this terrible and awkward term or if it's just a stereotype. You really have no idea since you've never witnessed men say this to each other, and even if you have a brother or best guy friend who could be honest about this kind of stuff, they might not want to actually tell you. Or maybe you just can't work up the courage. But if you could ask any guy one brutal question, it would be whether or not they really tell their bros that they are whipped. You would also love to know if they really believe in this. It's really the worst and you're hoping that it's not a real thing.
8 Do You Tell Your Mom Everything?
We would love to know how close guys actually are with their moms. So we're going to ask you (because you totally speak for all guys): do you tell your mom everything? Do you tell her when you have a first date? What about when you have a second one? Does she know when you're really excited about a girl that you just met and are dying to see her again, or do you tend to keep that super quiet until you're sure that it's going somewhere? It's something that we always wonder about, especially once we progress to the stage where we meet each other's families. We're always thinking that this woman probably has no clue who we are, but then sometimes we catch her staring at us during dinner and wonder just how much she knows. It can be confusing and even a bit creepy to be honest, so we would love to know the truth about this.
7 Do You Notice If We Gain Weight?
Oh the age-old "do you think we're fat?" question. This supposedly freaks guys out and the question alone is enough to make you guys run for the hills. Is that really true? Do you notice if we gain weight? What about if it's even two to five pounds? What if it's something more like ten? We would love to know the answer to this totally brutal question because it's something that every woman thinks about, even if we don't always admit it. We might not want you to know how much we think about our appearance, but of course, this is always on our minds. It's impossible for us not to notice when we put on a few pounds. It doesn't mean that we're insecure or that we're not confident or anything like that. It just means that we know what our bodies look like and we know when they look different than they did before.
6 Do You Actually Want To Go Slow?
Sometimes we want to go slow with the new guy that we just started dating and there are a whole bunch of reasons why we might be thinking this way. Maybe we've been single for a long time and aren't used to being in a relationship so we want to make sure that we don't screw things up by moving way too fast. Or maybe we just got out of a relationship and weren't expecting to meet someone that we liked so fast and we don't want to miss out on dating you but we also need some time to wrap our heads around it. So when we tell you that we want to go slow, do you actually want to? Sure, you're agreeing with us because, well, if you want to date us then you kind of have to be on board with this. But are you actually just lying? Sure, you might never tell us the truth about this, but we would love to know.
5 Do You Like Sleeping At Our Place?
Sure, sometimes we're going to stay over at your place, but if we're not living together yet, then that means that sometimes we want you to hang out at ours. And that means sometimes you're going to sleep at our place. That's just the way that it's going to go. We would love to know if you like sleeping at our apartment. If we have a roommate, how do you really feel about her? Do you hate her because she annoys you and is even kind of rude to you, but you would never actually tell us that? Do you hate our pink throw pillows and all the girly stuff that is basically everywhere? You may have never told us this stuff because you know it would be kind of insulting, but we're telling you that we would love to know what you really think about our apartment. It would at least come in handy if we decide to move in together someday since if you hate our place, we would have to move into yours or get our own.
4 Are You Cool With Waiting?
And sometimes, we're going to wait to sleep with you. We just are. It doesn't mean that we don't like you or that we don't see a future with you or that we don't feel safe with you. We feel all of those things but we just don't think it's the right time yet. If you're a good guy, you are totally fine with this and tell us that (hopefully on a regular basis). You would never, ever pressure us and you wait for us to give you the go ahead. That's the kind of guy that we want to date so it's awesome if you are like that. However, we want to know if you are really cool with waiting. You're not terrible if you admit that you don't want to wait and that you wish that we wouldn't have ever said that. You're only human, after all, and maybe you've been single for just the right amount of time and are totally ready to get intimate with someone new.
3 Do You Want To Dump Us?
If you're doing that typical guy thing (ignoring us, canceling plans last minute, and otherwise proving that you don't actually want to date us anymore... and yet totally refusing to dump us), then we want to know this one thing: do you want to break up with us? Yeah, it's a brutal question, and yeah, it would be a brutal answer if you actually told us what you are thinking. But we need to know since it's our relationship and our life and future. Sure, if you don't text us back as fast as you normally do or have to reschedule a few dates, that doesn't necessarily mean that there is trouble in paradise and that you want to dump us. But if this keeps happening, this is honestly what we're going to think. So you might as well get on board and figure it out because eventually, we're going to force you to answer this question.
2 Are You Actually Happy?
This is definitely not a question that you really want to answer but we're going to ask you it anyway: are you actually happy with us? Do you want to stay with us forever and ever and ever? Are we everything that you ever dreamed of in a girlfriend or are you just settling? Ugh. Asking if you're settling is definitely a really brutal question to ask you and yet we just did that. We went there. We really did. Sorry but once we started thinking about this, we realized that we just have so many things to ask you and we don't care how bold they seem to be. We're in a bold mood and you might as well get used to it. So here goes: how do you really feel about us? If we've been dating you since forever, maybe you just are so used to us that you haven't even really thought about whether we're a good match anymore. And that's brutal but we deserve to know.
1 Do You Think About Your Ex-Girlfriend?
Look, it's okay if you do. It really is. If you asked us the equally brutal question if we still think about our ex-boyfriends sometimes, we would have to be honest and say that yes we do. We don't want to but sometimes, we just can't help it. We hear a song or watch a movie or walk by a certain bar or restaurant and BOOM, we're hit in the face with a huge memory. It's sad and it sucks but we can't stop it. You might think that we shouldn't be sad about our ex anymore since we're with you and yes, you would probably be right, but that's just kind of the way that this whole love stuff goes. We get that you might think about your ex from time to time. We even get that you might think about her in bed sometimes because hey, you're human and you're bound to do that. HOWEVER we're not okay if you do that all the time. So be careful with how you answer this. Because this question might be way too brutal for you to even answer. Oops.

Gallery 4 is full of landscapes. Shchukin was clearly a deeply thoughtful and spiritual man as well as a successful businessman and great traveller.
He came into contact with Paul Durand-Ruel (whose collections formed a subject of a recent National Gallery exhibition) in 1898 and began collecting the French Impressionists – long before most people became interested.
Gallery 4 contains 8 works by Monet painted between 1866 and 1904 – this beautiful painting of foggy, dirty London was actually completed when Monet was living in Giverny.
Shchukin had a collection of over ninety landscapes – he travelled extensively in the middle east and wrote extensively about his personal spiritual, reactions to changing light and the undulating, shifting landscape of the desert.

Man, this snow is sure starting to pile up on BecauseItzThere! Just been coming down for days now, nonstop. I'm gonna have to hire a Russian bot with a dump truck to haul it off.
2018 promises to be an exciting year for us. Assuming we actually can pull off what we want to do. Here's a hint.
There's some things that need to be worked out first, like, I have to 'brush up' on my French. (IE learned what I should have in 10th grade.) But we'll manage. Better question is…will my knee survive it?
While I was working on the Pacific Northwest Posts, I found this among my 'documents' (IE the pile of sh-t on the bill desk.) This is the tourist hand out map of The Paradise area of Mt. Rainier, from the Paradise Inn lobby. I strongly recommend you hike with a better map than this. (We did.)
Meanwhile, these are on the way to fireplace to be hung. With care.
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, happy Hanukkah,,,and for those Pagans out there, have a fine Winter Solstice.

"I bought this bag to take to Camp Randall for my son's graduation. I had it lightly packed (rain poncho, glasses, cell phone, wallet and a hand towel to dry off the wet stadium seat). I used the cross-body strap to carry it. I walked 2 blocks with it and the strap ripped totally clean from the plastic body of the purse. TWO BLOCKS. I was shocked and upset that I now had to carry it to all 3 engineering graduation venues using the handles instead (which I hate). CHEAPLY made piece of you-know-what made in China. Needless to say, it went back. Thank you UW Bookstore for the no-questions asked refund. Save your money on this one folks."

Reality joins Capsicum Records' Executive Production staff as our second Executive Producer, and as a Principal in the LLC. He and Roger Meltzer are now collaborating on multiple new singles that will be coming to the website by July.
Reality is a quintuple threat, a musician-writer-producer-arranger as well as a studio engineer. His list of hits in the calypso and soca genres is an arm's length, and his ability to fuse those tempos with reggae, dancehall, r&b, modern
country, gospel and pop makes him the ideal addition to our 'roots on the bottom, pop on the tp' Reggae-In-Fusion Hartford Sound.
Few people know that the all-time calypso party record, "Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot" was penned by Reality, originally titled "Fundamental Jam. He has performed live in front of 50,000 people as a calypso and soca artist, then turned around and packed them in again as a gospel artist.
A native of the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat, Reality is also known there as "King Reality" after winning the Calypso Monarch festivals in 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1978 . According to those who have travelled with him on tours, when he returns to the volcano-prone island, he is in fact greeted like royalty.

1, wash underwear underwear with a washing machine
Many people, after having a washing machine, throw it into the washing machine no matter what clothes they have. Sometimes after the shower, the connected jacket and underwear are thrown into the washing machine for cleaning. Although there is nothing wrong with this cleaning, you have to think that the jacket has a lot of dust and bacteria on it, and when it is washed with underwear, these dusts and bacteria can contaminate underwear. The underwear and underwear are the clothes that are most close to our body. It is easy for some unclean bacteria to infect our body, leading to health problems such as skin diseases. The washing machine is very convenient, but it is recommended that everyone's underwear should be hand-washed as well, so that at least they can be clean and healthy.
2, the clothes are washed, they are not drying
This mistake is caused by many office workers, because the office workers are basically late when they come back. When they have finished the meal at home, it is basically more than ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, if you use the washing machine to wash clothes, the noise it emits will definitely affect your rest, so many office workers choose to open the washing machine the next morning, let it work on its own, and then come back from work, then go Dry the clothes in the washing machine. In this way, these washed clothes stayed in the washing machine for ten hours. It's fine when it's cold in winter. If it's in the summer, we can smell the stench from the washing machine as soon as we open the lid. This is due to the proliferation of bacteria in humid and hot environments. So at this time the clothes in the washing machine are very dirty, I suggest you to rinse again!
3, after drying the clothes, immediately cover the washing machine
This is a habit that many people follow. After washing the clothes in the washing machine, they cover the lid. However, this habit is very bad. After washing the clothes in the washing machine, the inside is very moist, and the bacteria can multiply in the inside. When we wash the clothes next time, these bacteria will pollute our clothes and cause the clothes to be washed clean! Therefore, after washing the clothes, don't cover the lid, let the moisture in the washing machine dry and cover again, so that the bacteria in the washing machine will not be allowed to make the washing machine clean.
4, the washing machine is not used for a long time
Most people think that the washing machine is used to clean clothes. How do you still need to clean it yourself? In fact, this is considered to be very wrong. When washing the clothes, the washing machine will leave a lot of bacteria on the inner wall of the washing tub, and the water hole in the inner wall will still have a lot of stains. If you wash it from time to time, then every time you wash your clothes, these bacteria and stains will pollute our clothes, making the clothes more dirty and dirty! When cleaning the washing machine, we have to use the washing machine cleaner.
This kind of cleaning agent uses active oxygen to quickly sterilize and decontaminate, ensuring clean inside the washing tub. In general, cleaning the washing machine in half a month is the best choice. Clean the washing machine and the clothes we wash will be cleaner!

A problem with grout missing from protective shields around big steel rods in the $6.4 billion new Bay Bridge is more widespread than known a month ago, Caltrans officials said Wednesday.
More testing has found that at least five rods — and possibly up to 35 more rods — are missing nearly all the grout that was supposed to fill a metal sleeve to block out potentially corrosive water,
All in all, some grout is missing from 135 of the 423 rods, and several of the rods were exposed to water, Caltrans said.
The 25-foot-long metal rods anchor the tower of the new suspension span to its foundation.
Caltrans acknowledged a month ago that contractors had not installed all the grout they were supposed to but provided more details this week about the extent of the problem.
"The (contract) workers made a mistake," said Bill Casey, Caltrans resident engineer on the new east span of the Bay Bridge.
He said some workers may have failed to realize that a thin coating placed by other workers on the top of the protective sleeves hid the lack of grout below.
American Bridge/Fluor, the main bridge contractor, however, has written Caltrans saying it will pay to fix this problem, Casey said. Repair costs currently are unknown.
To assure all the rods are adequately protected, crews are preparing to bore some 17 feet into the grout with a water jet and use a tiny scope to check for gaps in the grout.
"We are checking out each of the rods," Casey said.
If gaps or openings are found, the grout will be reinstalled, he said. If no problems are found, the bore holes will be filled with either grout or grease.
In an encouraging result, Caltrans reported this week that the water that rods were exposed to was fresh water from rain or rinse operations and not seawater that is much more corrosive.

For many years, Indiana was the center of the automobile industry. Luxurious automobiles made in Indiana included the well-known Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg and Stutz. At one time there were more than 200 automobile manufacturers in Indiana – more than any other state! Moreover, the first electric hybrid and fully electric automobiles, the first gas pumps, and the largest testing grounds for automobiles – now famously known as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – were all born in Indiana! Given Indiana's deep history and unparalleled passion for automobiles, Cruise Indy was a natural choice for a unique fundraiser.
Catherine Bach, from The Dukes of Hazard, will be joining us at Cruise Indy, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Be sure to come and say hello!
We are all familiar with the typical car shows of parked classic, antique and modern cars, or the occasional collectibles driving by in Fourth of July parades, but this event is different. This event allows collectors to not only show their vehicle in a festive setting complete with music, food, silent auction and entertainment, but the day will also culminate with the opportunity to enjoy a 12-mile open cruise between Carmel and Indianapolis (participants receive a collectors medallion) all while raising money to benefit a worthy charity.
For questions regarding the car show, cruise, or the silent auction contact Sandra Haugo at 651-278-0812.

I can't quite understand what it is the voice is saying. Is it "lay low"? I'm glad I figured out how to use the dynamite. It is a pretty stylistic game. Of course, it reaches a point I can not advance. It does work quite well as a puzzle game.
I like how the protagonist looks. He kind of reminds me of some other games about the AOL search engine or something. It's pretty well animated. I like how you have to use strategy. Not that great, but good.

A new book on adaptive reuse of industrial buildings is reviewed by Carol Berens.

C.C. Wells event raises money for school in Florida hit by Irma
Activities November 22, 2017 Press release
C.C. Wells Elementary participated in their first Turkey Trot for a Cause, a project-based learning event developed by fifth grade students during their resource classes. The students were challenged with this problem: they wanted to help kids impacted by a hurricane and develop a school-wide event that would raise funds to help with recovery.
The Turkey Trot, held Friday, was developed over a month-and-a-half period. Tyler Harris, a local high school student at L.C. Bird and son of a Wells kindergarten teacher, came to discuss with the fifth graders a similar service learning project he developed the Run 4 Massey 5k. Wells students asked questions and learned from his expertise.
After learning about the regions in the United States impacted by the recent hurricanes, students selected Florida, which was hit by Hurricane Irma. A school in Hillsborough County in Tampa, FL was selected for support from Wells. The school in Florida caught fire from an electrical malfunction after the extensive water damage sustained by the storm.
In the library, students researched hurricanes and their impact. They developed Google slides to teach others about hurricanes and how to be prepared. In physical education, they developed the course for the Turkey Trot and developed flyers to send home to promote the race and request donations. In Spanish, they created bilingual signs to help participants navigate the course. In art, they discussed the importance of their efforts, how races help raise funds, and the value of their jobs as volunteers on race day. In music, they recorded a song to send with the final project and donations to the school.
The kickoff for the Turkey Trot was held Nov. 8. Fifth-grade student work was compiled and highlighted in a presentation shown at assemblies for the entire school. This taught students from all grade levels about hurricanes, the Turkey Trot, and the school selected for donations. The kickoff ended with a rap from a group of fifth graders. Staff and students were excited for the big event.
On Friday all grade levels ran, jogged, and walked the Turkey Trot course, completing as many laps of the 0.7-mile course as they could in the time given. Students from ages 5 to 12 joined their friends in tackling the challenge. Fifth graders not only got to run the course themselves, but also volunteered at stations, directing younger students and encouraging them along the way.
The Turkey Trot for a Cause raised $1,714.42. C.C. Wells expressed pride in supporting the hard work and efforts of its students and gratitude for the entire school community's support of this event.

New snow qualifications hit the slopes
June 16, 2017
New qualifications for the alpine and avalanche industry hit the production line today, ready to deliver an agile, on-job learning experience for mountain professionals this winter.
At the Southern Hemisphere Alpine Conference in Christchurch today, Skills Active, the industry training organisation for outdoor recreation and snowsport, officially launched the new NZ Certificate in Outdoor Leadership with Alpine strand (Levels 5 and 6), and the NZ Certificate in Avalanche Risk Management (Levels 5 and 6).
The Alpine qualifications cover a range of skills including managing, instructing and leading mountaineering trips, managing dynamic risks, and working in multi-hazard environments. The Level 6 programme also equips graduates to educate alpine instructors, and instruct/guide in more technical alpine terrain.
The Avalanche qualifications cover avalanche search and rescue skills, risk mitigation, and identifying avalanche hazards through knowledge of snowpack, weather, terrain and avalanche phenomena.
A limited credit programme, Avalanche Risk Management (Level 5) Backcountry, is also available. For learners developing alpine skills, this short award delivers an understanding of avalanche mechanisms and strategies to avoid avalanche-prone terrain. It offers ski fields, and other organisations working in snow environments, the ability to train staff in safe work and recreational practices in backcountry areas.
"The new qualifications could not have been developed without the significant input and deep expertise of our key industry partners, including the Mountain Safety Council (MSC), NZ Outdoor Instructors Association (NZOIA), and NZ Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA)," says Skills Active CEO Grant Davidson.
Davidson notes that graduates of the NZOIA Alpine 1 qualification will earn equivalency with the NZ Certificate in Alpine Level 5, and NZOIA Alpine 2 graduates will have equivalency with the NZ Certificate in Alpine Level 6.
NZOIA chair Gill Wratt says it is pleasing to see the NZ Certificate qualification closely aligned with the existing NZOIA awards that have been developed by outdoor instructors working in the sector over a period of more than 30 years. The suite of qualifications now available offers a high standard of professionalism, as well as the opportunity for trainees to now earn a New Zealand Certificate.
MSC chief executive Mike Daisley says the inclusion of the Alpine qualification in the Skills Active framework is a positive step for the sector.
"We were pleased to be part of the discussion with Skills Active about this qualification. We added our insights and overall perspective to alpine safety, which is especially pertinent for the Southern Hemisphere Alpine Conference today.
"It's great to see this come to fruition and I'm sure the qualification will be well received by the community," Daisley says.
Along with NZOIA and MSC, the Alpine qualifications also have the endorsement of NZMGA, and offer a 'feeder pathway' to those wanting to train towards the high guiding qualifications offered by NZMGA, Davidson says.
"All of the new qualifications have evolved through in-depth collaboration, meaning they have strong buy-in from the industry, and offer relevant, work-ready upskilling," he says. "We are excited to be able to introduce these essential qualifications in time for the industry's key event of 2017."
A new home for avalanche credentials
Davidson adds that Skills Active is also using the conference to share information about NZRRP, its free online professional register for the sport and recreation industry, including avalanche practitioners and instructors.
"With NZRRP, avalanche staff can ensure their skills are current, and promote their credentials to the public. The public can use this tool and be assured they are placing themselves in the hands of highly-qualified mountain professionals."

Hey guys there was recently a OSRS Q&A that had runescape 07 gold a lot of good information. There is a full transcript of this on Reddit or you can just watch the whole thing on YouTube. But as we are huge Runescape fans and always looking for that Runescape gold, we wanted to share a couple of things that caught our attention in this Q&A.

old school runescape Q&A March 2017
Raids: Ok so this was quite interesting to hear. Some people were frustrated in the way that players could bring in a ton of people to start a raid and then kick them out so that they get a ton of loot. This is something that will (or has been) fixed to where the loot you will get from a raid is now set to how many people are in the raid at all times so if people are kicked out the loot will change accordingly.
Inferno: One question people had was if Inferno would require all three combat styles. They kind of dodged this question and said that it is yet to be determined. But they did make mention of how the designed and balance is not finalized yet. In all honesty we do not mind how they go about this.
New Lobby: Some players have wanted to see the OSRS lobby updated, but this does not sound like it is going to happen as they said it would be a huge job to do. So it does not look like there is any major changes coming to the lobby anytime soon.
There was some good info in this Q&A and for the most part we feel that they did answer any question that was thrown their way pretty fairly (except the Inferno one) what are some of the things that caught your eye in this OSRS Q&A?
