One of our favorite food bloggers, Rachel from RecreatingHappiness.com, is running a contest on her blog for Vanilla From Tahiti customers.
Rachel loves creating gluten free recipes and is a big fan of our all natural allergy free vanilla extract. She is a homeschooling mom, a full time student, and a great resource to anyone who loves to cook. She is constantly posting new recipes and fun tips for cooking at her site. Be sure to subscribe to Rachel's blog so that you can receive all of her amazing recipes via email.
To join the contest, you will need to visit her site, and scroll to the very bottom of the post, where you'll see the Rafflecopter giveaway entry box.
Be sure to stop by Rachel's blog and leave her a thank you comment on her educational and informative blog posts.
From all of us at Vanilla From Tahiti, a BIG THANK YOU to Rachel!
Vanilla From Tahiti Staff
Last year I gifted homemade vanilla extract and I admit I was thrilled with the "oohs" and "aahs" from everyone. I'm not always the best gift giver in the world, and often my gifts are a swing and a miss (if my mother in law is reading this I suspect she's nodding her head in agreement here haha). I need to keep my streak going!
Vanilla Bean Maple Syrup takes less time to prepare than to wrap – it's really that easy! Frankly, I think it's better…WAY BETTER…than homemade vanilla extract because it's not easily found in stores and tastes incredible.
I should add a warning label to the bottle:
"WARNING: Consumption of this product may result in excessive Vanilla Maple Syrup cravings and the inability to consume ordinary maple syrup ever again."
Expect to make pancakes, waffles, and oatmeal as an excuse for more Vanilla Maple Syrup. Why it's not sold in stores is a mystery. Maybe this post will start a vanilla maple syrup revolution.
You need only 2 ingredients: 100% maple syrup and high-quality vanilla beans.
Let me touch on the vanilla beans for a moment. I have tried many different vanilla beans from many different companies and none have compared with those from Vanilla From Tahiti not to mention their outstanding customer service.
Not all vanilla beans are the same! Vanilla from Tahiti is the premier source for Tahitian vanilla beans, Tahitian vanilla extract, vanilla bean powder, and Tahitian vanilla coffee made from the finest Tahitian vanilla beans. While some non-Tahitian vanilla beans half the size can be found for less money, gram for gram Vanilla From Tahiti's beans are both competitively priced and superior in flavor.
I discovered this amazing company years ago when my daughter was allergic to all of the top 8, gluten, and corn. Finding a grain free, safe vanilla extract was frustrating until I found Vanilla From Tahiti. People with grain allergies love Vanilla From Tahiti pure vanilla extract because it's the only 100% Tahitian, grain free, vanilla extract on the market. And unlike other "pure Tahitian vanilla extracts" on the market, Vanilla From Tahiti is the only one made from 100% Tahitian (pure vanilla) beans.
In a nutshell: I love this company. In the past I tried beans from other companies thinking it'd be cool to sample all the different varieties and only ended up disappointed, wishing I had spent my money at Vanilla From Tahiti. I will never again buy from any other company. Needless to say, I contacted them asking to do a giveaway because they're such a great company and I'd love to share some of their products with my readers.

"I am learning Java, and I find it really troublesome. Especially when I want to create a form, I have to write all the controls. So I ask all of you for help. Is there a Java web report development tool which can add control directly without writing so much boring code like Visual Basic 6.0?"
I read the post above in a famous Java forum. In a short time, many kind members gave their own answers to the question, and those various answers listed about 10 Java development tool including Eclipse. However, they didn't really solve the problem.
Maybe you have the same question with the guy. Then, is there a Java development tool which can change the web application develop mode from Java's B/S web application coding to C/S graphical programming mode like VB?
What about Eclipse? Programmers familiar with it know that it isn't a good interface design tool. Combined with development modes of various Java web application frameworks, it provides developers flexibility. However, it also increases programming complexity.
For example, there is development project to make a Business MIS (Management Information System) based on Webapps and database with Java, and most Web pages are used to do addition, cancellation, amendment, inquiry to database.
According to a common MIS project, it needs a great number of people to work on the project. Artists will design the html interfaces of all pages, and system architects will choose various architectures (struts, spring, habernate, etc.) to build application programs' basic frameworks, and engineers familiar with Java performance optimization will build underlying performance controls.
Even if we have enough budgets and time to do such a mass of work above, programmers will take a lot of time to study those complex architectures. Moreover, we have to deal with various frustrating problems caused by those complex architectures in the maintenance phase.
In fact, we have a better choice. We can use RAQ Report to realize our aims easily. RAQ Report is a pure Java reporting tool with real Excel-like design style. You can imagine the feeling of satisfying all the needs of end users with RAQ Report. I believe it is wonderful for project leader, programmers, and end users.
Maybe you will doubt is it really that a Java reporting tool can realize so many functions without writing code. Well, you can refer to the examples below.
Please remember that all those examples are designed with a graphical designer without writing complex Java code.

In reply to: Your proposal to submit questions prior to chatting with Dr. McKenna is a fine idea! I support this, and would like to see it implemented. I do have a few questions that I would love to ask him. Anyone have ideas on how to do this? Perhaps we can organize a new forum just for these questions?

I haven't shared much about my personal life lately. Originally, this site started as a journal of sorts. A way to document our lives in a new place. Now, I either can not find the time to blog, or I just share recipes. I kind of miss looking back on some of the thinks we do each month. I can easily get lost looking back on old travel post or outings. It's like I'm able to relive all those fun time months from now.
Missing the personal aspect of the blog, I came up with an idea… Photo A Day {Actually, I got the idea from Sally's Baking Addiction}. Each month, I'll purge all the picture from my phone into one post. This way I can keep up with what we're doing, but still continue with the "Food Blog" theme.
Here we go:
Jan 1st- Our New Years Eve was spent at the emergency vet with London. He had an infected abscess that needed to be drained. {Dogs are so expensive!!} New Years Day was spent taking care of him.
January 2nd- We took down our Christmas decorations :( Sad day!
Jan 3rd- BYOB improv show at The Jove!
Jan 4th- Traditional picture on the beach where Huck proposed!
Jan 7th- Solo walk on the beach. Peaceful!
Jan 9th- Growler Friday! Love my growler bag from BrewersCRAP!
Jan 10th- Palm Beach Zoo. Unless you have children, do not go on a Saturday!
Jan 12th- Milk Stout Triple Chocolate Scones!!
Jan 13th- View from my desk.
Jan 14th- Dinner at Burger Bar. I was invited as part of a media event. We've been a few times in the past, and always ordered burgers. It was nice getting to sample some of their other dishes. The Lobster Mac and Cheese and Desserts were my favorite!! Honestly, we didn't have anything that wasn't good. Now, I want a burger!!
Jan 17th- Cruisin' for a Boozin'.
Jan 18th- Still milking the "I'm hurt and need to be pampered" routine!
Jan 19th- A special tour.
Jan 20th- Trying not to get sick! It worked minus an annoying cough that will not go away.
Jan 22th- Dinner for one. {Skinnytaste Canned Tuna Ceviche served on a roma tomato and topped with a ridiculous amount of Sriracha}
Jan 23rd- Field of Beers! My favorite event of the year.
Jan 24th- Jupiter Beer Festival
Jan 25th- A really long day of drinking!
Jan 26th- Beautiful sunset from the beach! It looks like a painting.
Jan 28th- Black Bean Brownies
Jan 29th- Huck had a job in Central Florida, so we decided to stop at the Florida's Natural visitor center.
Jan 30th- The world's biggest omelette.
Jan 31st- Exploring the international grocery store near our house and remember how much I love that place!
That was my month in pictures. Hopefully, I can have February's post up before the middle of March.

When you and your body aren't getting along.
My body is doing shit I don't want it to do and I'm angry.
I'm still not sleeping well. My ears are draining and causing my throat to be sore. Things hurt that are not supposed to be hurting.
I am really not happy.
I want to go for a long walk because the nights are warm and nice. I do it and my knees swell up.
I want to dance and my muscles lock up and stiffen.
Again I'm reminded that the weight loss as a cure all for aching joints and other bodily problems is a lie.
I'm frustrated.
I'm having trouble conceptualizing what size of clothing to buy. A lot of the clothes I saved for and bought during the fall to wear this summer don't fit right.
It is not awesome.
I am also living an object lesson.
Right now I can't be mean to myself.
Even though I'm entirely done with how my body is behaving and reacting to everything right now, I am trying really hard to self care.
I make sure I'm taking my vitamins and drinking water.
I am in the fuckin' trenches right now y'all.
My natural instinct at this point tells me that it doesn't matter. Fuck what my body has to say about it and I will do ALL the shit I want. I will walk that mile and a half fuck the consequences. Fuck taking my vitamins. Fuck drinking water I can survive on energy drinks and candy.
Being that my natural instinct leads me to fuck it all I am actively making myself slow down and just not.
I look at myself and say can you just not?
Come on bro *yes I call myself bro* just don't. You know this will not end well. Walk but not that far. Take your vitamins. Fix your eyebrows. Put some lotion on your ashy fucking feet.
I am having this talk with myself every damn day.
The lesson here is that yes, even I who am the Self Caring Like a Mother Fucker Matriarch, has trouble with it.
Sometimes I can't do anything beyond having a snack.
Other days I'm really doing it. I pack a good lunch, I feel cute, I have on my new shoes that don't hurt my feet. I walk but not so far that I'm limping by the time I get home. I take an awesome bath, I have a dinner.
But it's not as consistent as you might think.
As I've told you my friends. Sometimes this shit is really fucking hard.
I'm not immune to tripping up or falling down.
When you think you're failing, you're probably fine. IF not fine, you're not an awful person if you can't do it every day.
The good news is that while it is very stressful to think you are failing at yet another thing, understand that this thing is very easily fixable.
When you feel like you're failing at self care go get a drink of water. Stretch some part of your body until it feels really good. Put lotion on your feet. Put on some chapstick and bang bam boom you're doing it,.
Take a deep breath.
Remember that you and I are human.
We are fragile, breakable, mercurial, we smell bad sometimes and sometimes we can be absolute dickbags to ourselves.
And it's okay.
No really. Regardless of what the voice in your head says or what your Mom said or what anyone else said.
The wonderful and awful thing about you and me and everyone else is that we're human and we do a lot of shit that isn't awesome.
Sometimes that means we have to apologize to others and often we have to apologize to ourselves.
So here is me apologizing to myself.
Hello Self,
Bro I'm sorry I've been such an asshole. I know there are things going on that you can't help or do anything about and I shouldn't be such a bitch about it. I'm trying to stop that. So let's make up. Tonight some eyebrow beautification and shit.
Love Me
What else am I doing to support my self care needs this week?
I am wearing cute clothes. I don't give a fuck. For instance today I'm wearing a two shades of purple satiny skirt that was the bottom half of some kind of fugly formal thing I thrifted.
I am using my lip scrub to get rid of some dead skin and discoloration in the corners of my mouth.
I'm drinking hot things to sooth my throat.
I'm eating food. Granted I haven't been eating super good food but it is food so that is good.
NOw that's all for right now.
Beatfreak how are you doing sugar?
Also the rest of you how is your self care happening or not happening? Do you need some ideas?
HOmo Out.

Taking my pain meds when I need them even though I'm afraid of addiction. Not taking them continuously, even though it'd make my life so much easier for a day or two.
- mccn said...
I am so impressed with your ability to overcome your own inclinations to say fuck this and do self-care anyway. It's been really important to me to hear your thoughts on this because I also often feel like saying, fuck it, I'm not doing self-care if my body won't do what I want it to, or if things are hard in my life. I know a lot of people have that habit, but I almost never hear about it, you know? Thanks for talking to us about it - and for finding the strength to care for yourself no matter what. Because,IIRC, as a very wise lady once told me to tell myself, Shannon says you are the fucking BOMB and you are worthy of care and love! <3
- alumiere said...
I often feel like all I do is self-care. Make sure I've taken my meds, eaten the right things, gotten enough sleep, don't push myself too hard. I want to be bad, have fun doing something impractical, not have to decide between showering or eating healthy today. Chronic broken sucks. But I do my best to make sure the important stuff is done everyday, and try to find a place for frivolity when my body isn't misbehaving too much. Thank fuck my partner is happy to help all the time, and starts working from home 4 of 5 days soon.
- beatfreak said...
To be honest, my self care hasn't been so good. I had to take myself to the hospital to make sure that i wasn't having a heart attack (i wasn't.) I've been so stressed out and depressed that things have just fallen a bit around me.
That said, there are a few things that i'm doing that are helping. None is limiting my time on sites like Tumblr. I've come to find that social media feels like work to me and i'm don't like the person that i become when i spend too much time looking at them.
Second, I'm listening to music I like (Alice in Chains!) a lot.
Third and most important I am keeping up with the whole just being with being gentle with myself as much as I can.
This self care stuff is hard when you just feel like throwing in the towel. Then I remember that the awesome Shannon says that I deserve care and do one little thing for myself. Sometimes that's all I can do.

Agricultural Shows
Royal Tasmanian Agricultural Show, Glenorchy, 1920 (AOT,
Agricultural Shows have a long history in Tasmania. Richmond held its first show in 1836, and the Campbell Town Show, sponsored by the Midlands Agricultural Association, was established in 1838 and is the oldest continually running event of its kind in the southern hemisphere. The prestigious Zegna Trophy for the best superfine fleece is a feature. From the 1830s, many other towns around the island held annual shows.
The Van Diemen's Land Agricultural Society, the first in Australia, was formed in Hobart in 1822, although its primary objective was not the dissemination of knowledge but the prevention of stock thefts. In 1874, when it held its first show, the name changed to the Southern Tasmanian Agricultural Pastoral and Horticultural Society, and, in 1922, the Royal Agricultural Society of Tasmania. The Cornwall Agricultural Society was formed in Launceston in 1833 and held its first show in 1873.
Agricultural shows were once the means by which agricultural and pastoral societies could promote rural industry with displays of produce, demonstrations, handcrafts and livestock. Today, government agencies and commercial manufacturers also use them to promote their services and products. In 2004 there are some 20 show societies in Tasmania, ensuring that rural Tasmania is widely showcased to city, town and country people. Many shows have reached their centenary: Campbell Town (1839), Longford (1856), Westbury (1864), Evandale (1868), Launceston (1873), Royal Hobart (1874), Bushy Park (1875), Ulverstone (1879), Scottsdale (1881) and Wynyard (1885). The Richmond (1836), St Marys (1892) and Collinsvale (1895) shows had long histories but no longer exist. Since 1983 the Rural Youth Organisation of Tasmania has held the increasingly popular Agfest.

Chapter 18. Requirements Analysis Toolkit
There is no sense in being precise about something, when you don't even know what you are talking about.
—John Von Neumann
Smaller projects, such as those that can operate solely at the Team level, are usually so well contained that communication among the stakeholders is not a big issue. The team usually has easy access to each other, and it's easy to resolve ambiguities and confusion. Just lean over to the next workstation, and ask the product owner what they meant with a story!
However, as projects grow in scope and size, the communication pathways become more and more complex, and o...
- Chapter 18. Requirements Analysis Toolkit
- from Agile Software Requirements: Lean Requirements Practices for Teams, Programs, and the Enterprise
- Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
- Released: December 2010
User stories and natural language are not always sufficient to communicate the full complexity of requirements. In these cases, you may need to apply more technical methods. This reading discusses several specification techniques that can help reduce the confusion that often exists in defining complex requirements.

White denim: Old Navy
Campfire: Henley, Military jacket, Flats
Movie night: Turtleneck sweater, Leopard tote, Ankle boots
Dinner & drinks: Fitted boyfriend shirt, Burgundy cross body, Leopard flats
With the last holiday weekend of the summer approaching, it's time to revisit the age-old style rule of no white after Labor Day.
I, for one, believe that this is a dying trend, and I'm at the front of the line to wear my white denim well through the fall and winter months.
The key is to pair your white jeans or pants with darker neutrals, such as military green or tan/brown, to warm up the white. A leopard pattern or ankle booties also help transition white from summer to fall.
Will you be sporting your white denim during the colder months?

A good company's culture can survive staff cuts
The big idea: When will employee head-count reductions "destroy" a company's culture?
The scenario: Room & Board is a private home-furnishings retailer based in Minneapolis with 11 stores in U.S. metropolitan areas, including Washington. Over 30 years it has built a relationship-based business in which employees, customers and suppliers are treated as valued stakeholders. As a result, Room & Board has achieved financial success, high employee engagement, satisfaction, loyalty and productivity.
Relationships with suppliers meant that more than 90 percent of its furniture is made in the United States by family-owned artisan businesses with a two-way sharing of financial results. This honesty and transparency is evidenced in annual meetings with suppliers where the parties agree on production and prices that are fair to both sides.
With its employees, Room & Board eschews hierarchy, rules, policy manuals and executive elitism. Management shares financial information and strategy plans with all employees monthly. It has a liberal benefits package that includes part-time employees.
In 2008, as a result of the U.S. financial crisis, consumers reduced spending and Room & Board's revenue declined 20 percent in the fourth quarter. Even so, Room & Board did not let any staff go in 2008. To its surprise, in the first three months of 2009, its revenue declined further, enough to wipe out any profitability for 2009. For the first time in its history, it had employees with little to do.
Room & Board faced a tough decision: Should it undertake its first staff reduction? If it did so, would that violate or damage its culture and its relationship-based business model?
The resolution: That tough and painful decision was not made solely by Room & Board's founder and chief executive or by its senior leaders. True to its culture, Room & Board engaged its entire management team, including store and distribution center managers, in making the decision. The team recommended that staffing levels be reduced to the levels that would fit the pace of the business, therefore providing meaningful work for those who remained.
The decision process, the reasons for the reduction in employees and the severance benefit policies were discussed with all employees. Room & Board dealt directly with the pain experienced by those terminated and the grief of those remaining. At the same time, leaders in the organization did not take pay increases and the company announced that for 2009 leaders would forgo any bonuses.
Reducing the workforce was difficult and painful for Room & Board. Because for years its actions had engendered trust with its workforce, that earned trust mitigated cynicism and hypocrisy. After the reduction, every employee was quickly reengaged in new initiatives to better serve customers and to make Room & Board a better company. That engagement led Room & Board back to profitability in 2010. Room & Board shared that profitability by giving all employees raises and by making an extra contribution to each employee's 401(k) plan.
The lesson: Over the years, Room & Board had built relationships with its employees based on trust. It treated employees as partners. It engaged them in taking ownership of issues and sought their input. Having relationships based on respect and trust helps businesses get through tough times.

"When March Went Mad" - Seth Davis's Page-Turner on Magic vs. Larry Contest
Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:32:07 +0000 – (Full disclosure: I am reviewing the book written by my oldest son, Seth Davis, "When March Went Mad: The Game That Transformed Basketball," published by Times Books on the 30th anniversary of the 1979 NCAA college basketball national championship game between Indiana State University, led by Larry Bird, and Michigan State University, led by Earvin "Magic" Johnson.)
So, first, how do I justify reviewing my son's book in my own political blog?
I could say that a story about the intersection of the two lives of Larry Bird, from the very Red State of Indiana, and Magic Johnson, from the now very Blue State of Michigan, could be called, to paraphrase the sub-title of Seth's book, "The Purple Game That Transformed Basketball."
But that would be an obvious stretch.
The fact is, while I love my son, I would love his book even if I weren't his father, because it is more than about a basketball game or about sports. It is about a universal experience -- which Seth imparts through careful reporting of the lives, the plots and sub-plots, involving universities, players, coaches, sports writers, and clashing cultures and personalities of rural and urban life in the late 1970s -- all caught up in what famed ABC TV Sports broadcaster Jim McKay described at the time as "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat"
The book reads more like a novel than a non-fiction account of an athletic event. It's more about character development than just about sports. At times it takes on the feel of a "who-done-it" mystery - forcing the reader to keep turning easy-to-read pages and chapters into the wee hours to figure out, how did this clash of titans happen? Where are they now? How do they feel today about the memories?
The game itself was a bit anticlimactic - Michigan State, the Big Ten champion, easily handled undefeated Indiana State, which came into the final game 33-0. MSU won 75-69. Larry Bird played poorly: He finished with 19 points on 7 for 21 shooting; he went 5 for 8 from the foul line, committed 6 turnovers, and had a season-low 2 assists. The last image of him on national TV was with his face in a towel. He refused to talk to the press after the game.
The Game, in fact, has stood up over the last 30 years as the highest Nielsen rated sports event for any basketball game, college or pro, in the history of the sport. That night, nearly a quarter of all TV sets in America were tuned to watch the game. This was before ESPN, which didn't exist at the time, but was about to go on the air for the first time just six months later. So, to put that huge audience in perspective, there weren't several hundreds cable stations competing for viewers that night.
An example of Seth's writing that opens the reader up to the themes of the book that transcend sports:
"Those millions of viewers had no idea they were watching the birth of the most storied rivalry in modern American sports. They were simply drawn in by the dramatic story line ripped straight from the Old Testament: little Indiana State, which had competed in the NCAA's Division I for only ten years, was taking on Michigan State, the mighty Big Ten team, for the title.... 'This was a classic David versus Goliath story,' Don Ohlmeyer, the executive producer of NBC Sports, which broadcast The Game that night, told Seth for his book. 'It made people feel like this was a once-in-a-lifetime event.'"
In the powerful last chapter, we find ourselves in 2007, 28 years later, in the Roanoke, Virginia living room of Bill Hodges, the Indiana State coach of the '79 game. After he lost that game, life had not been so kind to Mr. Hodges. He lost his job at ISU a couple of years later, and since then bounced around in and out of sports, in and out of jobs. Now Hodges is a history teacher at Roanoke's William Fleming High School. The pathos is palpable.
"I had some good memories, I have some that aren't so good," Seth quotes Hodges telling him as they talk memories of The Game and the disappointing aftermath together that afternoon in his living room. "When you play a game, you lose some, you win some, and you better be willing to accept both with humility."
And then there's the final scene recounted in Seth's last chapter of Larry Bird returning to Terre Haute at ISU in 1999 for the twenty-year reunion of The Game. The entire team was inducted into the Indiana State Hall of Fame. Bird was the final speaker. Obviously, after all these years, and all his professional successes in college basketball, on the Boston Celtics, and to this day running the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the intensely competitive and sensitive Mr. Bird had still not gotten over the pain of not playing as well as he could have that 1979 night. Here's how Seth closes "When March Went Mad," quoting Bird's last words:
" 'I've always been heartbroken by the fact that I wasn't able to bring that championship trophy back to Terre Haute. I didn't play the way that I usually played....'
"When Bird said the word 'way,' his voice quavered and his eyes filled. Then he stopped talking. He took a deep breath. He raised his eyebrows and looked toward the ceiling. He absently used his right fingers to scratch the back of his left hand.
"Finally, he gathered himself and delivered the epitaph for that dream season. 'Hell,' he said, 'Magic was just too tough.' "
Get chills reading this? Son or no son, I sure did.
* * * * *
So I hope readers will forgive me for writing a glowing book review about my own son's book. At least, I hope fathers and mothers who are proud of their children will understand.
Recently, Don Imus interviewed Seth about his book on his nationally syndicated "Imus in the Morning" radio show. After the interview, I emailed Mr. Imus and thanked him for his gentle and positive treatment of my son. This was Mr. Imus' response:
"What a delightful young man. When he talked about you...the look that washed over his face nearly brought tears to my eyes. Charles [Imus' news broadcasting sidekick] and I talked about it later. We both have sons. The respect and love Seth has for you must be a wonderful comfort for you... Lovely kid. Pretty good old man."
Pretty good comment from anyone to a father about his child, I would say.

Beatriz Michelana, a prolific -- and surprisingly forgotten -- stage and screen star of the teen years, played the title role in Mignon. Based on a popular opera (an earlier version, running three reels, had been directed by Alice Guy Blache) this oft-told tale of powdered-wigged aristocrats, gypsy curses and deep dark family secrets actually contains a character named Lothario, whose name and general disposition are one in the same. In her eagerness to include all the story's familiar elements, the director tended to rush certain scenes and also allowed a few continuity gaps to slip by. As gypsy lass Mignon, actress Michelana exuded far more raw eroticism while fully clothed than did the bare-legged subordinate character played by Belle Bennett. Though filmed in New Jersey, Mignon successfully conveyed the story's 18th century British milieu.

Mignon and we will let you know when it becomes available.

K1−2: Analysis of Work Zone Crash Data
Agencies compile and analyze work zone crash data through ongoing efforts and special studies to help identify areas of concern in work zones. This analysis can identify issues and take corrective actions on individual projects. Such efforts can also identify larger trends and be used to update policies/standards.
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) compiles data related to work zone fatalities and injury crashes based on type, area within the work zone, driver characteristics, and type of collision. This information is used to identify trends in driver behavior and potential work zone emphasis areas to improve work zone safety. The information is collected at the NYSDOT Regional level and analyzed by the main office. The information is categorized in many ways including the following:
Accident Category (fatal, hospital, minor, unknown)
Accident Type (e.g., rear end, worker hit by vehicle, etc.)
Work Zone Situation (e.g., alternating 1−way traffic, lane shift, etc.)
Project Related Traffic Accidents at Flagger−Controlled Locations (e.g., head−on, sideswipe, etc.)
Project Related Traffic Accidents based on
o Project Type (e.g., bridge, pavement, maintenance, etc.)
o Facility Type (e.g., principal arterial interstate, minor collector, etc.)
o Driver Characteristics (e.g., age, sex, and locality)
o Time of Day
Accidents Involving
o DOT Employees (e.g., trip or fall, vehicle struck worker, fall from elevated structure, work zone intrusion)
o Consultant Employees
o Contractor Employees
Many other States also collect work zone safety−related information to improve mobility and safety for current projects and future efforts.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) collects and analyzes information on crashes in construction zones and then informs law enforcement and construction managers about the crash frequency. As a part of this effort, KDOT staff members provide recommendations for work zone safety improvements to officials for consideration during projects and after projects for future efforts.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) collects and analyzes data on construction crashes and evaluates whether changes need to be made at an individual work zone, or to its policies.
This practice was adopted to identify trends and better develop countermeasures to reduce the deaths and injuries associated with crashes in or near work zones.
Reduced fatalities and injuries are a result of the countermeasures, as well as increased knowledge and situational awareness regarding crashes in work zones.
All locations and projects.

As World War I rages and the Romanov dynasty reaches its sudden, brutal end, a young jewelry maker discovers love, passion, and her own healing powers in this rich and romantic ghost story, the perfect follow-up to M.J. Rose's "brilliantly crafted" (Providence Journal) novel The Witch of Painted Sorrows.
Nestled within Paris's historic Palais Royal is a jewelry store unlike any other. La Fantasie Russie is owned by Pavel Orloff, protégé to the famous Faberge, and is known by the city's fashion elite as the place to find the rarest of gemstones and the most unique designs. But war has transformed Paris from a city of style and romance to a place of fear and mourning. In the summer of 1918, places where lovers used to walk, widows now wander alone.
So it is from La Fantasie Russie's workshop that young, ambitious Opaline Duplessi now spends her time making trench watches for soldiers at the front, as well as mourning jewelry for the mothers, wives, and lovers of those who have fallen. People say that Opaline's creations are magical. But magic is a word Opaline would rather not use. The concept is too closely associated with her mother Sandrine, who practices the dark arts passed down from their ancestor La Lune, one of sixteenth century Paris's most famous courtesans.
But Opaline does have a rare gift even she can't deny, a form of lithomancy that allows her to translate the energy emanating from stones. Certain gemstones, combined with a personal item, such as a lock of hair, enable her to receive messages from beyond the grave. In her mind, she is no mystic, but merely a messenger, giving voice to soldiers who died before they were able to properly express themselves to loved ones. Until one day, one of these fallen soldiers communicates a message—directly to her.
So begins a dangerous journey that will take Opaline into the darkest corners of wartime Paris and across the English Channel, where the exiled Romanov dowager empress is waiting to discover the fate of her family. Full of romance, seduction, and a love so powerful it reaches beyond the grave, The Secret Language of Stones is yet another "spellbindingly haunting" (Suspense magazine), "entrancing read that will long be savored" (Library Journal, starred review).
Protagonist: Opaline has a special talent. She can use stones and personal items to deliver a final message from beyond the grave, usually to a grieving widow, mother, sister, or child. She's never done more than deliver a message before, until one day while working on a charm for a new client, the client's son begins to speak to her directly. Is she really hearing the voice of this fallen soldier or has her "gift" driven her mad? Unlike her mother it was much easier for me to get attached to Opaline, since also unlike her mother her story doesn't have to do with her personality being influenced by a spirit, or at least not to the same scale. Opaline does have her mother's trait for skepticism even when presented with a crap ton of proof, though comes to accept things a bit faster. I really liked Opaline, she's a strong and compelling character. She has a deep sense of morality and does whatever she believes is right.
Romance: To say this romance is complicated is a HUGE understatement, I mean falling in love with the spirit of a fallen soldier just screams doomed relationship. At first I wasn't too into the romance, it felt like it started too quickly, but soon enough I forgave that a really started to root for this couple headed for nothing but sorrow, but there was a silver lining to their romance. It's related to that whole proverb of; "It's better to have loved and lost..." I'm really trying to find other words to say to explain this romance, it's intense, fast paced, gentle, furtive, and at the end of the day these characters' feelings for each other go beyond just the emotional and physical.
World Building: While I liked the feel of Paris in the first novel, in this one it has much more of a historic backdrop, World War I, known as the Great War here, is still raging and because of that many things have changed since the first book, both culturally and economically. Before I go too much into this, while this book can be read on it's own as a stand alone companion, if you have read the first book there are some answers to the lingering questions and that almost unfulfilling ending, though they are still left kind of vague, you get a better understanding of what exactly happened. Now, this book not only has a deep presence with WWI in Paris, but since Opaline's employers are Russian expatriates there is a lot to do with the death of Nicholas Romanov and the disappearance and possible death of his wife and children. The pacing for this book is kind of weird since for most of the book there's only been mention of these expatriates and their love for the Romanovs and Tsarist Russia, it isn't until towards the end that that particular world-building element is explored further, with exciting results.
Predictability: Looking over this book I have to say that for the most part it's pretty predictable. Once again the author left some things that under more YA circumstances would be foreshadowing and let them drop, though they felt far less important or were much easier to piece together than in the first book. There was one twist though, in the book, that was pretty huge, something I didn't really see coming, no real foreshadowing for it, though it made much more sense when revealed, and when it was it was quite shocking in the best possible way.
Ending: Going into the ending of this book I expected it to be like the first book and have a sort of rushed ending, but while the ending was fast paced it didn't end with the urgency that the first one did. The ending to this book, or the final climax was very well executed full of intensity as everything comes to a head and then cools down. The cool down period for this book was not only longer than book one but made much more sense and ends without any lingering questions on my mind. The ending of the romance itself is a very emotional one, if you haven't' already surmised. I wasn't expecting it to be as emotional as it was and I may have shed a tear or two but I'm not confirming anything.
Other than a few weird pacing issues I had, which weren't all that annoying, I could find no fault in this book. It was exciting, entertaining, and full of mystery, suspense, and thrill, here's hoping the author has at least one more La Lune book in her!

Parents are protesting at moves by a Sheffield school to axe the people who have run private swimming sessions in its pool for years.
Swimming lessons put on at the independent Mylnhurst RC Prep School in Ecclesall by the private Dolphinsstars Swimschool will end later this month and two jobs are expected to go.
Mylnhurst Sports Education and Leisure, which runs the pool, intends to set up its own Water Merlins Swim School in the new year.
Parents claim the decision has been taken without consultation and are angry the new venture simply aims to take over the existing company's customer base.
Mum Helen Whysall said: "The school has underestimated the strength of feeling and loyalty parents feel towards the Dolphins – and our antipathy towards the school's approach and its lack of moral judgement.
"This swimming school is not just about learning to swim – it is about people, about friendships formed, for both adults and children, about trust, loyalty and integrity."
Mrs Whysall said the way the matter had been conducted had been 'arrogant and insensitive'.
Sara Pegden, Swimschool company director, said their staff taught 1,000 children over six days every week.
She said: "Mylnhurst is not renewing our contact for 2015 and intend to teach lessons themselves, taking all our customers.
"We have built up this concern over seven years and although they own the pool we feel this action is very heavy-handed.
"They have used us for their own advantage and will be re-employing most of our 30 staff for themselves.
"It's disgusting but there's not much we can do.
"We asked if we could come to a new agreement or run swimming lessons together, but that proved to be a false hope.
"We were given three months' notice, but parents only found out recently.
"It's a very sly way of doing business – it's not ethically or morally right."
A letter to parents from the Mylnhurst company said the swimschool had been given more than the required three months' notice, with the decision made in early September.
It says: "The pool was opened in 2008 to provide outstanding sports facilities for the local community and Mylnhurst School.
"Throughout that time we have provided and maintained an excellent swimming pool and supported a number of swimming businesses.
"Staff from Dolphinstars Swimschool Ltd have been invited to a meeting to discuss employment opportunities."
The letter adds: "We sincerely hope the new arrangements will cause minimum disruption to the service you have enjoyed."

Tufano exchanges mobility for a new set of wheels
At Keuka College we acknowledge, respect, and celebrate our differences—valuing many identities with the intension of creating an understanding environment. Our students, faculty, and staff know each other by name—and because of this—it allows for better understanding and mutual respect.
The caring environment provided helps students reach out and make a difference face-to-face, and this couldn't be more apparent with the Occupational Therapy (OT) program who for the past decade have asked students to participate in an assumed disability project.
"The faculty who teach advanced clinical skill courses at Keuka College ask junior and senior students to take on a disability they have learned about such as a stroke or spinal cord injury—something that is severe enough where some form of assistive mobility device such as a walker or wheelchair is needed," said Division Chair of Occupational Therapy Dr. Dianne M. Trickey-Rokenbrod. "We realize this is only a small taste of the actual experience, but we believe it does provide some insight into mobility challenges."
Students typically are asked to last 48 hours in their disabled state, and in that time, must get groceries in town and cook a meal with adaptive equipment in the OT lab.
One staff member who learned of this project within the first couple weeks of his hiring was Director of Facilities Tony Tufano. Tufano—who joined our institution in April 2015—went to a student senate meeting where he was introduced to the assumed disability project. The memorable meeting for Tony took a small hiatus during the summer until he met Oliesha Jackson, a sociology major at Keuka. It was then during the fall 2015 semester when the sophomore from Syracuse, NY told the individual in charge of campus grounds the issues she deals with as a person who has to use a wheelchair daily.
"OT students originally asked me within my first couple weeks on campus what I was going to do about ADA (Americans with Disabilities) compliance," said Tufano. "They had offered some perceived risks which I had no answers for, so nothing really came of it. Not until after I met Oliesha in the fall did real questions come forth. Jackson and Laura Sprague got together and asked to have a meeting with me in the spring (2016) where they gave me a list of items that challenge accessibility around Keuka."
Jackson and Sprague included 18 separate items in alphabetical order for Tony to look at, following up with him as to how the list was coming from time-to-time via email, meeting occasionally for lunch.
"Through the summer I progressed on the list to the delight of both Oliesha and Laura which then evolved to me possibly getting in a wheelchair during one of our meetings," added Tufano. "I had offered in the past to using a wheelchair, and I guess this was the first time someone took me serious!"
From there, Lauren, an occupational science major got in contact with Dr. Trickey-Rokenbrod to see if Tony could get fitted. In an interesting swing of events, Tufano was being fitted for an assistive mobility device to use around campus. The director of facilities was going to do his job, one which includes ample walking around the entire campus daily, in a wheelchair for one work week—three more days than students are expected to complete.
"I learned quickly the first day that it was going to be an interesting week after I tried to go to the bathroom in our office," said Tufano chuckling. "I wasn't able to do it!"
The new situation didn't faze Tony however, as he remained in the wheelchair as much as possible to get the most of the experience. The avid skier, rock climber, and mountain biker took this new challenge in stride with the intension of making progress.
"I like pushing limits," said Tufano. "I figured if the OT students were doing this, I should do it as well due to the role I have on campus. Additionally, I like making improvements in everything that I do. That's where I find satisfaction!"
In his new predicament, Tufano was able to do many of his daily activities like ground, custodial, and maintenance inspections on Monday, Wednesday and Friday—but for the first time he was able to do it with a different perspective.
"The majority of our buildings are accessible," said Tufano. "What I looked at before was if there was any way to get in a building. Now I look to make ADA convenient decisions, not compliant, since being compliant doesn't necessarily offer convenience."
Many Keuka students, faculty, and staff quickly learned of what Tony was doing and supported him in this endeavor. Tufano remitted that he didn't think getting in wheelchair was going to garner as much attention as it did, but welcomed it as he looked to make the campus better.
"It was clear from the beginning that people were interested in making changes," said Tufano. "Their passion impressed me. I saw it in each OT student during the student senate meeting. They didn't want acknowledgement, they wanted awareness."
Tufano continues to work on the list that Oliesha and Laura gave him, now a few days removed from his wheelchair. And maybe he's getting more done with the blisters on his hands finally getting some rest. Despite that, Tony continues to create solutions amid other conflicts a director encompasses daily at any institution.
"There are some things on the list we can do, while others might not be an option," said Tufano. "The challenge is real!"

Dress: LOROS (£4)
Shoes: Juju Jelly From Cancer Research (£2)
Anklet: Accessorize
I am generally not one for going barefoot and frolicking in the sand. Confession, I hate the sea. I'm not sure when it started, as when I was younger I would happily have been running about in it, swimming. Even when I went on a girls holiday at 20 I jumped off a boat for a swim in it, but alas, my anxiety has taken over and my fear of jelly fish, sea urchins etc stops me going in!
That said, I really enjoyed getting my feet sandy and having a stroll along the beach (and yes getting my toes in the sea)
I picked this dress up without trying it on (and thus breaking my golden rules of Charity Shopping) and actually was a little disappointed when trying it on. I thought it was a maxi dress but actually it is more of a midi, and I wasn't sure if it made me look short. In the end though I decided that I loved the pattern on it anyway so sod it I was going to wear it!
The Juju jelly shoes were a real find. I was sat in wetherspoons thinking about how I wish I had some jelly shoes for holiday, and then as I walked past the cancer research shop there they were in the window. I couldn't believe my luck!
