text: as the title says, a mod that won't give debris, you know... the stones, wood and fiber on your farm it'd be nice to keep the ones you start with, as you get some early fiber for a scarecrow, but after that, season changes should NOT give any of it i thought to put it at the mods, as i'm sure the vanilla game should be with it that redicilous priced giant watch is insane, and will only be available much later in the game having the greenhouse makes it less painful, but starting a new character, which has to make money, will be harmed by that stuff... and it's very annoying to redo the cleaning i even pause the time now, just so i don't lose time i wanna use for my farm and the villagers that's with timespeed mod, btw at summer, i'm like "yeah!! lets get some melon seed......s.... ugh, first stupid cleaning ps. if possible, i'd love to have such mod also for 1.3.28, as i'm still using it for now, not sure if it could be made for that one AND the new version, but i play .28 still EDIT: also would like a mod or mods to grow rice (one on nexus is hidden) and get vinegar through crops or such i don't know much about plants myself, haha i also would love to see more weapons, ones that are basically same damage, but different combinations of stat bonusses.... and maybe some a little different, so combinations of weapons that have different stats of what the vanilla ones have.... and a list with the weapons their stats would be great, so we can see if we agree with the mod's changes that's all i think off right now already made a Secret of Mana themed mod suggestion, so that'd be great too, even if only the monsters and such would be changed (not the villagers, as i use a mod that does something to some villagers already..... don't wanna lose my female versions of normally male spouses)

We're definitely gearing up for next year's FASTER Convention in Derby, and I'm starting to get more confirmations of who will be presenting – it's all looking pretty darned exciting! Here's an introduction (to anyone who doesn't already know him as a FASTER friend) to Ryan Crandall . You won't want to miss this guy. Take a look at his brilliant "5 Minutes of Movement" video…
Bio: I'm Ryan Crandall, owner of Fitness & Yoga Integration. I've had a knack for understanding and learning about the human body since I was a young boy. Many trips to the hospital E.R. with numerous sprains, strains, and fractures spurred a never ending curiosity to learn more.
After receiving a degree in Psychology, I pursued a degree in Physical Therapy. Upon graduating, I worked with orthopedic and neurological patients in hospitals and nursing homes. I used my education and background of physical therapy to spearhead my push into personal training, yoga instruction, and training trainers to be better trainers! I'm currently working on going back to school for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
Today, I'm a personal trainer, movement specialist, author, educator to up and coming trainers, and always relentlessly studying more and more about the human body to help as many people as I can. I thoroughly enjoy helping others not only to lose weight and inches, but to have more fun and functional lives with less pain and less chronic and acute injuries. Let's LEARN together shall we?

Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho aren't really seeing eye-to-eye at the moment, that much is obvious.
Rumours swirled suggesting that the self-proclaimed Special One told the Frenchman he was no longer a captain. No doubt that irked the 25-year-old, but I had no problem with the decision. Pogba isn't a leader. He's no Roy Keane, that's for sure.
Anyway, as you'd imagine, the press were all over Mourinho in the post-match press conference following the awful loss to Derby County. Pogba was the main topic of conversation. the ex-Chelsea manager confirmed that the midfielder was no longer captain – although he dismissed talk of a fallout.
"No, the only truth is that I made a decision that Paul is not the second captain anymore. No fallout, just a decision that I can make, I'm the manager and I've made the decision." Journalist Chris Winterburn quotes Mourinho as saying.
I find it extremely hard to believe that there is no fallout. Why else would he take the captaincy off him? Mourinho also gave us no real explanation as to why. It's not 'just a decision'…
There is obviously more than meets the eye. Sure, Pogba didn't cover himself in glory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, nor were his comments regarding attacking necessary, but there is an issue there. I get the feeling that one will leave Old Trafford in the not too distant future.
With player-power being as high as I've ever seen it, I know who my money will go on…

Asda Distribution Centre At Brackmills Votes Yes In Recognition Ballot.Comments Off on Asda Distribution Centre At Brackmills Votes Yes In Recognition Ballot.
In September the Asda Brackmills DC became the final one in the network to become a recognised GMB site. This followed months of hard work by the reps on site to increase GMB membership to a level where we were confident enough to go ahead with the ballot.
A series of briefings were given to the whole of the workforce so that they were clear what they were voting on and then the ballot ran over a two week period.
Diana Morrison, Senior GMB Rep, said "whilst the ballot was running we were confident that we would get a yes vote but we were all delighted when the result was 86% in favour of GMB recognition."
This means that going forward Brackmills will join all of the other sites in the network in benefitting from the National Agreement that GMB has in place with Asda. Some of the policies have already been applied and Brackmills colleagues will all benefit from whatever pay award is agreed in May 2014.
Sian McClarence, Regional Organiser commented "It is long overdue that members at Brackmills receive the same benefits as those at the other Asda sites. I would just like to say a very big Thank you to the local reps and those NJC reps who have worked so hard to assist in getting to this point and, of course, to those at Brackmills who voted yes in the ballot".

A new Oppo A77 device has been listed on the official website.This comes as a surprise, as there was no event organized for the launch of the device. If you look back, Oppo A77 has been released a few months ago. Now, it seems the device may be specific for Taiwan. Now the newly launched Oppo A77 has been slightly different with regard to its predecessor in design and configuration.
The peculiar difference of the new Oppo A77 compared with the first one is in the design of the rear camera.The new phone seems to appears dual rear cameras which in reality is a single sensor coupled with LED flash. Coming to the specifications of the device, Oppo A77 sports a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display. The device is powered by Snapdragon 625 chipset.
The new Oppo A77 will be available in three colour variants i.e black, gold, and rose gold. One impressive feature of the new Oppo A77 is the 16 MP selfie camera, that assures you to take pictures with more focus. Apart from it, the front facing camera comes with f/2.0 aperture, self-timer and 5P lens and HDR. There is a 13 Mp sensor on the rear end with an aperture of f/2.2.
The new Oppo A77 is backed by 3,200 mAh battery which the company claims that the juice should be sufficient enough for 13 hours of video playback. The device runs on Android 7.1.1 out of the box. As for the price is concerned, the device is priced at ¥2,199 that translates to approximately Rs 20,925. For those who wish to get hands on the new device had to wait a little longer, as currently the device is listed as out of stock on the company's website. However, you can set a reminder on the company's website so that you will be notified as soon as the device becomes available.

I Will Not Go Easy On You
"As long as you help the Lu Family give birth to a son, I won't interfere with your private lives again," Mother Lu's eyes were extremely red. It was obvious that these words did not make her feel good either. "Really Xiao Man, I beg of you."
"No mom, a matter like this...I..."
"I know you are put in a difficult position, but can't you do it for the sake of Lu Che?"
Before Long Jie could ask Mother Lu for an explanation, Lu Che pushed open the room door. Seeing that both women's eyes were red, he could roughly guess what was happening. Similarly, before he could ask his mother for an explanation, he noticed her signal Long Jie with a glance. Long Jie was a sensitive person, so she understood that Mother Lu was telling her not to tell Lu Che what happened.
"Since you're here, I'm going to get going," Mother Lu did not give Lu Che a chance to ask her anything as she left the room. Afterwards, Lu Che looked at Long Jie and Long Jie simply shook her head.
"Mom did not get the chance to say anything."
Lu Che sighed as he sat down beside Long Jie, "From the first day that we started dating, I already told you clearly not to care about what my parents think. After all, I am the one spending a lifetime with you. But, you've already given birth to our daughter, yet you haven't changed this habit of yours. What are you keeping to yourself? Am I really that useless to you?"
Long Jie lowered her head for a moment. In the end, she looked up and told Lu Che straightforwardly, "Mom pleaded for me to help you give birth to a son."
After hearing this, Lu Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's her reason? Mom has never mentioned this to me before."
"I didn't get the chance to ask her before you arrived." This time, Long Jie was being honest. "Although I don't want to take it to heart, mom's words made me sound like a baby-making machine. Plus, what's wrong with having a daughter?"
"You've almost rested for a month now. We can return home soon," Lu Che did not comfort Long Jie. Instead, he changed the subject at the right time. "Mom and dad will be coming to our place for dinner tonight."
Long Jie didn't know what Lu Che had planned, so she was a little worried, "What are you planning to do?"
"It's just a simple family dinner," Lu Che replied casually. After speaking, he handed his phone over to Long Jie, "Weren't you in a rush to congratulate the Madam last night? You can first make a phone call and congratulate her."
Long Jie's attention was successfully drawn away as she received the phone from Lu Che's hand, "I almost forgot about that."
Thinking back on the times that she spent with Tangning, Long Jie was honestly happy for all that Tangning had achieved. After all, during the time that Tangning was suppressed by Han Yufan, Long Jie honestly never imagined that she'd end up where she was today.
As Lu Che watched Long Jie call Tangning's number, he let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes, as a son and a husband, one was destined to have family difficulties. But, he was now a father. If he didn't personally confront certain matters, how was his wife and daughter supposed to feel a sense of security?
The news of Tangning receiving the Best Actress Award was the hottest news online.
As a result, people began to rewatch her previous films, throwing them back onto the ranks of popularly viewed videos online. This was the effect of a classic and the symbol of a legend.
At this time, Tangning had to rush back to the set of 'Survivor'. However, she first needed to confirm that Guo Guo was healthy and she needed to check on the woman their driver hit the previous night (to be exact, the woman that had randomly run out onto the road).
For the convenience of visiting Guo Guo, Tangning instructed her driver to admit the woman to the military hospital under Tang Yichen's care.
Originally, she wanted to contact the woman's family members. But, the woman had no phone on her body, nor did she have any form of contact.
So, they had no choice but to wait for her to wake up and check on her situation.
Before Tangning returned to the set, she visited the hospital to see Guo Guo. At this time, the woman had also awoken. However, she refused to speak or accept treatment. It was not until she saw Tangning that she rolled onto the floor and grabbed her leg, "I know you are currently the most famous actress in Beijing. Can I please beg you not to hand me over? Please don't let the media know about me."
Tangning helped the woman up and led her back over to the bed, "You require the care of your family."
"I don't need it," the woman quickly shook her head in refusal. "It wasn't easy for me to escape."
"Why would you use the word 'escape' when referring to your own family?"
The woman was rendered speechless by Tangning's question. She was filled with hesitation, but Tangning could tell that this woman viewed her as her last lifeline. "It's because I have an extremely possessive brother. I don't want to be under his control anymore. Tangning, I beg of you, I don't want anyone to find me. As long as I can live my life in peace, I am willing to do anything for you. As for last night, I was hit by your car because I was running away from the awards ceremony."
"Is your brother from the entertainment industry?" Tangning asked.
The woman remained silent for a few seconds before she nodded her head.
Tangning thought for a moment and said, "I treasure fate. Since you ran into our car, I can consider your requests. However, I have a bottom line that I hope you don't cross. Otherwise, I will not go easy on you."
"I am about to return to set and happen to be lacking an assistant. If you can handle miscellaneous matters, you can come with me."
The woman looked at Tangning in surprise. In the end, she nodded her head, "Thank you. I can do anything."
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Qian," the woman replied.
"Your surname is Lin..." Tangning said with much meaning. She then said to Lin Qian, "Go have a bath and come with me to the set afterwards."
"I'll do that immediately."
Tangning knew that Lin Qian had a story to tell. In fact, the story was bound to be spectacular. But, she was in no rush to question her and dig up her suffering. Instead, she gave her hope. The reason she was willing to help Lin Qian was because she noticed the bruises on Lin Qian's body. From the looks of it, she had been beaten.
If she had honestly escaped something, it was definitely related to these bruises.
"Although I've agreed for you to follow me, you still need to give me a CV. My husband will never allow a woman with an unknown past to remain by my side."
"OK, thank you, Ning Jie," Lin Qian was more than willing as long as Tangning gave her a place to hide.
From the look in her eyes, Tangning could tell that Lin Qian was not a calculative person. In fact, her background was possibly above average. Otherwise, how could an average person wear branded clothing from head to toe.
Her brother was someone from the industry...That's right, the industry was not lacking in dirty secrets.
While all this was going on, Long Jie and Lu Che had just returned home...
I think the girl is somewhat related to that "other king" to the author is referring to in the previous chapter.
For the sake of Lu Che? Or for your sake? Stop using your son as an excuse
".............but can't you do it for the sake of Lu Che?" Oh don't pull that card.

Wi-Fi based positioning systems are commonly used to overcome inadequacies of GPS indoors. They have the advantage of also providing a value add service (internet access) and, therefore, are a pre-existing infrastructure in many establishments. Many companies, like Cisco and IBM, have developed systems that allow for some navigation and indoor location analytics using WiFi.
WiFi hot-spots are effectively 'fixed' anchor points providing a static known position. A device detects a WiFi access point and, once multiple points are detected, can determine its position. WiFi implementations require access points, a data service that computes location (and keeps track of all the locations at any given point), and a location specific context (a blueprint overlay of the building).
On the positives, the WiFi 'receiver' infrastructure is relatively ubiquitous as it works well with mobile devices and doesn't require you to sign into the WiFi network or 'opt-in' to location services to work for tracking purposes. However, while tracking location may not require an app, like other systems, moving beyond tracking to communicate does require a communication interface and opt-in, like an app. (-1)
Additionally, the requirement of internet access, power points and software to identify the various WiFi networks makes the infrastructure, relatively speaking, difficult to set-up. While this may be feasible at major shopping malls and department stores, it may be cost prohibitive to extend to other venues. (-1)
Existing WiFi access points may be unreliable, inconvenient and poorly placed for the situation at hand. The fixed nature of WiFi access points and relatively high cost of installing them means there is limited flexibility in altering the network and it is difficult to achieve the level of precision afforded by beacons or RFID. (-1)
Additionally, WiFi systems' ability to identify individuals to allow for navigation and analytics is limited, particularly by Apple devices. In order for your phone to detect a WiFi network, it sends out a string of data that is unique to your phone. Retailers use WiFi 'sniffers' to listen for your phones unique signature and, thus can tell you're in the vicinity. Previously, these signatures were static and so WiFi could identify unique users. However, with the introduction of iOS 8, Apple began randomizing the MAC address (device ID). Now, businesses may be able to detect a device but they cannot necessarily tell if the device is unique. (-1)
It is worth noting that because Android allows for ranging for both WiFi and Bluetooth, and does not randomize the MAC address, it is much easier to achieve an equal experience.
Unlike GPS or BLE, data is actually being transferred over a WiFi network, meaning that hacking into the network poses more of a risk than its counterparts. Wi-Fi has adopted various encryption technologies to secure the network and the technology has come a long way over the years. Security is going to depend on the encryption techniques used and there are a lot of companies out there that specialize in providing secure wireless connections and data exchange. (-2)
We've already discussed cost relative to the number of WiFi access points and level of precision required. The fact is, if there is an existing WiFi network in place and location details are only needed at the room or zone level, WiFi can be a great, low cost solution. However, if location information is needed at a high-level of accuracy or movement needs to be recorded, the number of access points and data service required becomes more complex and thus more expensive. (-2)
Other costs associated with WiFi location systems include internet charges, maintenance and an app for users to download so that the positioning has the correct context and protocols.
The verdict for Wifi depends on the level of precision and existing infrastructure. WiFi has a much higher bandwidth so when internet access and data transfer is required, it is a critical solution component. However, for accurate indoor location analytics, user positioning or tracking, beacons and RFID are both better solutions.

05 Feb Zucchini and Sundried Tomato Meatloaf Muffins
My breakfast of choice for all my clients (and myself) is a combination of high quality protein, good fats and veggies. This is going to guarantee a great start to the day, ensuring high energy, stable blood sugar levels and a revved up metabolism!
These Zucchini and Sundried Tomato Meatloaf Muffins contain some amazing macro and micro nutrients as well as being a great way to get an extra portion of veggies into your day without even realizing it!
The grass-fed beef is not only a great source of protein that will keep you satiated for hours, but contains the following health boosters:
- Taurine – an amino acid that helps to lower the stress hormone cortisol (it facilitates the production of the neurotransmitter GABA, in turn helping your body to manage anxiety), encourages the body to metabolize fat so you can use it as an energy source (vital for a lean physique) and it protects the heart and lowers blood pressure.
- Omega 3's and CLA – the 'good' fats found in grass-fed beef (not cereal fed), Both of these fats offer properties that can reduce inflammation and insulin resistance, help prevent CVD and high blood pressure and improve body composition.
Zucchini contains a high amount of potassium, a mineral essential for a healthy heart. It also has significant amounts Vitamin A and beta-carotene, and the lesser known lutein and zeaxanthin, micronutrients essential for eye health!
A fun fact about tomatoes, botanically speaking they are a fruit, technically they are a berry, and legally they are a vegetable! Whatever you call them, when they are cooked they are the ultimate source of lycopene, a compound that has shown to both prevent prostate cancer and reduce the severity in sufferers. Research shows lycopene can also protect against other cancers, and has been shown to lower blood pressure.
Finally, regular readers will know about my love for tigernuts due to their fiber rich, gut friendly properties. Tigernuts are the number one source for prebiotic fiber, the fiber that feeds the probiotic fibre in the gut.
Best of all, these meatloaf muffins are not only super good for you, but they are easy to make, keep well in the refrigerator or freezer, and are portable so make a great breakfast or snack on the go. And they are delicious too!
- 1lb grass-fed ground beef
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out moisture)
- 1 egg (or flaxseed egg)
- 1/4 cup tigernut flour (almond or coconut flour is fine too)
- 1/4 sundried tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a food processor or large mixing bowl (I use my hands)!
- Separate into 8 equally sized balls and put into muffin tin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until brown on top.

Innovation in Construction
A European Analysis
Marcela Miozzo and Paul Dewick
Chapter 5: Networks and Sustainable Technologies: The Case of Scottish Social Housing
Marcela Miozzo and Paul Dewick
INTRODUCTION A number of recent studies reveal interest in networks as particular organizational forms that facilitate innovation. Different contributions have analysed the 'make or buy' decision and it has become increasingly clear that alternatives to internalizing are often found in some 'third way' (rather than market or hierarchy forms of organization) including joint ventures, networks or clans (Buckley and Casson 1990, Miles and Snow 1986, Ouchi 1980, Pfeffer and Nowak 1976). The general argument is that networks may create a high sense of mutual interest, communication and participation among organizations that may facilitate the efficient processing of information and generation of knowledge (Castells 1996, Nohria and Eccles 1992). As argued in Chapters 1 and 2, the construction industry is particularly well suited for the examination of these inter-organizational relations because it can be regarded as an archetypal network system where a coalition of organizations – including contractors, the government, clients, designers, subcontractors, suppliers and tenants – come together on a temporary basis to undertake each project (Gann 2000, Winch 1998). This chapter assesses the case of the introduction and diffusion of sustainable technologies in the Scottish social housing sector. This case is of particular interest because since 1997 Scottish Homes, the National Housing Agency, and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, have been active in fostering interorganizational collaboration and promoting sustainable construction products and processes through issuing policy guidance, briefing notes and training schemes. However, many of the problems of the performance of the construction industry seem to stem from inadequate inter-organizational...

OSI's First 4 Albums
Jim Matheos, the Fates Warning guitarist approached Kevin Moore for a collaboration with him in a new project involving Daniel Gildenlow (front man for Pain of Salvation) and Mike Portnoy (ex-drummer of Dream Theater), in the year 2003. The band formed as a result of this collaboration was called Office of Strategic Influence (OSI). The name was derived from a short lived government agency. In terms of music, the band could be best described as a nice mixture of melodic and dark focus of Chroma Key and heavy guitars of Dream Theater and Fates Warning. Both Gildenlow and Moore took Matheos' ideas into completely different directions. Eventually, Matheos engaged Moore for vocal duties in their debut album.
April 2006 saw the release of the second album of OSI by Matheos and Moore, titled Free. This one too had Mike Portnoy on drums, but he came on board only as a session player. Fates Warning's Joey Vera took over the bass guitar responsibility in this second album. Soon after, OSI released an EP titled Re:Free, which comprised of remix versions of 3 songs from the Free album as well as a video version of its title track. During the spring of 2006, Matheos and Moore indicated during several interviews that they had been contemplating touring for promotion of their second album, however things didn't materialize. Since that time the band has maintained a stand that OSI would only stay a studio project, with artists working from remote locations and coming together only for conclusion of the projects.
The third studio album of OSI was released in April 2009 and was titled Blood. Apart from Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos, it featured Gavin Harrison (drummer of Porcupine Tree) coming in as a replacement for Mike Portnoy. One of the tracks also featured the Swedish progressive metal band Opeth's lead vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt as a guest vocalist. British art pop duo No-Man's Time Bowness contributed vocals to one of the bonus tracks as well. The song creation process of this album went something like this – Matheos would send out the song ideas via email to Kevin Moore, who would then chop them up, adding all sorts of effects from his repertoire. The modified versions would then keep moving to and fro between different artists and worked upon in the process. While promoting their third album, Kevin Moore and the rest of the band members were of the opinion that Blood is by far the best album to have come out from OSI.
Year 2010 saw an announcement from OSI that their fourth studio album was also in the works, and that the band had made a switch from their German record label partners InsideOut music to Metal Blade Records. The latter was the same label that Jim Matheos had been using for releasing Fates Warning albums. An announcement was made by the Metal Blade records regarding release of the fourth OSI album during the late 2010. However, the recording couldn't conclude owing to other commitments of the band members. Finally, Fire Make Thunder, an eight track album was recorded and released by Matheos and Moore. It also featured Gavin Harrison on drums, just like their third album. This fourth album was mixed in Iowa at the Sound Farm Studio and Recording Environment.

Hey friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Friday seems like ages ago, and yet, the weekend passed by super fast thanks to a fun mix of outings, relaxing, and teaching. We didn't go into the weekend with many plans, but it ended up being an absolute blast…lots of quality time with my favorite human in the world (Matt would roll his eyes big time at this statement, but it's true)!
As usual, I taught Friday evening and since I had to be up early to teach Saturday morning as well, we kept things low key with a pasta dinner and a few episodes of the documentary the Keepers. For our pasta dinner, I grabbed some lentil pasta at Whole Foods along with Italian chicken sausage. Matt ate his with red sauce, while I opted for a garlic & olive oil topping, then added some spinach into it as well.
If you enjoy documentaries, I highly recommend the Keepers, which is on Netflix. The series examines the unsolved, 1969 murder of a nun named Sister Cathy. Former students of Sister Cathy dig deep into the awful events that may have led to Sister Cathy's murder, and along the way uncover layers upon layers of cover-ups and lies. Though the content of the series is upsetting, I think the documentary was incredibly well-done, and highlights the importance of journalists in cases where the truth has been disguised by authority figures and people in power.
I actually struggled to fall asleep Friday night…a mix of feeling a bit unnerved from the Keepers, and knowing I had to be up bright and early, made for a restless night's sleep, but I made it through and ended up having an awesome day! The sunshine and warm temperatures definitely gave me the extra energy I needed. I taught 2 classes at Pure Barre, then stayed after to chat with clients and tidy up the studio.
I headed home and quickly whipped up scrambled eggs, topped with salsa and ate them alongside some juicy strawberries.
I also dove into a package of energy bites from Whole Foods (found near the "make your own nut butter" section). I wasn't crazy about the energy bites, but it did remind me that I need to get back into making my own energy bars and bites. I absolutely love the mango bars I made last year…so tasty and easy! Recipe here.
After lunch, Matt headed to the gym in our building for a workout, so I took a shower and got ready for the rest of the day. We knew we wanted to sit outside, but left our afternoon agenda open-ended. Once we were both freshened up, we grabbed a cab and headed to the West Loop neighborhood, thinking our first destination would be Federales. There was a huge line for the outdoor dining area, so we decided to keep walking and ended up choosing Parlor Pizza as our first stop.
Even though there was a wait there as well, it was much quicker and we were able to get drinks at the bar while we waited. I enjoyed a refreshing citrus-y cocktail and before we knew it, our table was ready.
Saturday was absolutely gorgeous, so to sit outside with a cold drink and enjoy the sunshine felt amazing. Funny thing…we kept noticing this chatter around us and other patrons looking in this one direction…finally, we realized it was because Derrick Rose (of the Chicago Bulls) was sitting there. Pretty darn cool!
We ordered the "Save the Last Ranch" pizza to split, but to be honest, we weren't crazy about it. I think we ordered too quickly because there were several other options way more up our alley, but when you're hungry and distracted by celeb sightings, it's easy to prematurely order.
Once we finished our pizza, we got antsy and wanted to move around, so we left and explored the neighborhood a bit (which is essentially walking around and Matt giving me lessons on each building, the company who owns, etc. etc.) We didn't want to head home, but felt like we'd walked around enough so decided to pop into Cruz Blanca (the newest Rick Bayless restaurant) for one last patio drink.
Cruz Blanca was actually on my summer bucket list, and I was surprised at how casual it is. You order your drinks at the bar (I believe the same goes for food) and seat yourself. The margarita was absolutely delicious, and the small outdoor dining space was perfect, much less crowded than Parlor had been, which was what we were looking for.
Feeling nice and saucy from margaritas (kidding), we took off for one more spin around the main streets of the West Loop, then hopped in a cab and headed home. After a quick swap into warmer clothes, we decided to walk around and get some errands done. Whole Foods was our last stop of the evening -we grabbed a salmon burger and a steak kabob to grill for dinner, and of course, a carton of butter pecan ice-cream. Then, it was home to grill and relax. We watched the movie Get Out, which was on the scarier side, so of course I was uneasy once again come bedtime.
It felt awesome to sleep in on Sunday, since Saturday had been an early wake-up for me. My sleep hasn't been great (I think from some inconsistency in my schedule/routine), so the extra hours were more than appreciated. The highlight of Sunday for me was a long walk around downtown Chicago (all in all, our morning excursion was about 5 miles.) Matt suggested we stop into the Chicago Athletic Association building, and perhaps try to sneak up to Cindy's rooftop for a quick drink.
Now, I was wearing workout gear (baseball cap and all) and was under the impression one would be shooed away from the popular rooftop if not dressed to the nines, but in typical Matt fashion, he brushed away my worries and said, "doesn't matter!" I'm so glad he did because you definitely do not have to be dressed up to enjoy Cindy's! It was a smaller space than I imagined, but still outstanding views and a lovely atmosphere. We told the hostess we just wanted to grab some quick drinks and check out the view, which is totally acceptable and many others were doing the same!
We lucked out and found 2 open spots to sit while we sipped on drinks: a mimosa for Matt and a matcha latte for me. Since the drinks are on the pricier side, we kept it to one and left once we had our fill of rooftop gazing.
Then it was off to Millennium Park to check out Lurie Garden. You guys, the flowers were breathtaking…the most vivid purple flowers and green grasses, against the skyline, makes for such a beautiful sight.
A little more walking around Millennium Park, before we knew we needed to eat something…we stopped by Wildberry, close to the park, but the line was too long for us. We started walking home and stopped on the way to pick up some breakfast sausage and a few other items to make a fun brunch at home.
We split a giant omelet (made by yours truly) and ate it along with maple breakfast sausage, toast smothered in Kite Hill Chive spread, and some strawberries- it hit the spot! Once brunch was done, we had to face the facts…the apartment needed a good cleaning. Pans all over the kitchen, a full sink, and a dish-washer that hadn't been emptied, put us into a much-needed cleaning frenzy. Once cleaning was complete, Matt wanted to do a workout video and politely asked I leave him be to do so…I headed down to our building's gym to do a super light, but fun workout. I jogged a bit on the treadmill then put together a random ab/cardio circuit.
- Alternating jumping lunges – 10 each side
- Russian twists (with medicine ball) – 20
- Bosu Ball Push-ups – 10
- Weighted jumping jacks -20
- Forearm plank – 1 minute
I cannot say I went balls to the walls here…since we had already walked a lot that day, I took my time and just had fun. I repeated it 3x, then got a text from Matt saying he had abandoned his workout and it was okay to return. (We always take turns doing workouts in our living room, which some people think is hilarious, but we both love videos and we have awesome adjustable weights, so it's often easier to get it done in our own apartment!)
I inhaled an RX bar after my workout, then showered and got ready for dinner. Matt and I both love Mexican food, so we ended up going to one of our favorite nearby Mexican restaurants that serves up delicious plates, fast.
It was the perfect choice because I had to work Monday morning, so we didn't want to be out too late. I think we were in and out in 40 minutes or less. The rest of Sunday night was devoted to finishing the Keepers.
Monday morning I was up early to teach 2 Memorial Day classes! I actually felt pretty exhausted, but the energy of clients always helps me feel more alert! After classes, I swung by a nearby Nordstrom to pick up a sun hat that has been on my wardrobe wish list for a year! I finally caved and bought this hat I'd been coveting, because I know I'll use it all the time this summer, and hey, it's good sun protection!
Once I was back home, I whipped up some avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's. I also had some leftover omelet, pineapple, and almonds. Matt and I stopped by our friends' place for a quick drink, then it was off to my parents' for one final weekend BBQ. My parents ended up choosing the same Whole Foods kabobs we had Saturday night, but since they were so freaking tasty, we didn't care.
Matt and I headed home pretty quickly after dinner because I was exhausted and felt crabbiness starting to creep up…we watched 2 episodes of Bloodline Season 3 (one of my all-time favorite shows), um, yet another, creepy/scary series…I'm on a creepy television roll, and finished off our butter pecan ice cream. We both said this week needs to be a detox of sorts, since we've eaten out so much lately and indulged in our fair share of cocktails!
I will say, this weekend was so much fun, though a bit exhausting when all was said and done. I love exploring Chicago, especially with Matt, and I find that when we don't worry about making set plans, we end up having more fun and being more adventurous. Cindy's and Cruz Blanca had been on my bucket list, and we tackled them both in 24 hours! I highly recommend checking out Cindy's on a warm, blue-sky day, even if it's just for a cup of coffee! Also, seriously go take a look at Lurie Garden- there is so much to see/do around Millennium Park- it's well worth it!
And last, I just want to give thanks to all who have served or currently serve our country and make our freedom possible.
That's a wrap for today! My goal today is to work on an easy recipe for Mexican meatloaf so I can get that recipe up this week.
Have an awesome week everyone!

Report - Climate Adaptation: The State of Practice in U.S. Communities
Climate Adaption: The State of Practice in U.S. Communities, is the first study to examine in depth actions that multiple municipalities are taking to address climate-change fueled events like flooding, heat waves, wildfires and intense storms. It found that more municipalities are preparing for climate risks than is conventionally believed, that many of those actions support multiple community goals and values, and that despite the progress much more work is necessary to comprehensively address climate risks.
The report was produced by the Kresge Foundation.

November 13, 2016- 'Living Shorelines' Seen as Better Way to Adapt to Erosion, Storm Surge
Stonington - At the 2.6-acre preserve known as
Dodge Paddock
, the waters of Little Narragansett Bay are pretty much allowed to come and go as they please.
"If you're going to live on the water, you've got to live with the water," said Beth Sullivan, Stonington town chairperson and steward for the Avalonia Land Conservancy, which owns the parcel. "The shoreline here is living in that there's a more dynamic interface. There's not a hard edge here."
One Wednesday, Sullivan and Juliana Barrett, extension educator for Connecticut Sea Grant, visited the preserve, a natural oasis for walkers amid the compactly built Stonington Borough, to check on plantings and other work done there over the last 18 months. The project was a response to poundings the site took during Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, when storm surge flooded one section, flattened dunes in another and threw mounds of sand and rocks atop a meadow. It also tore a gouge in a sea wall at one end.
But instead of rebuilding the wall higher and longer, Sullivan and others at Avalonia opted for a softer approach, one that would accommodate rising sea levels and storm surges: They decided to leave the area as natural as possible. This has included planting shrubs and grasses adapted to salt water on the new dunes that were created by Sandy, digging a channel so tides can flow freely in and out of a low-lying marsh in the center, and allowing tide-tolerant grasses to spring up on their own along the rocky shore.
"The rocks will slow the wave action, and the marsh is coming up naturally," said Barrett, who worked with Avalonia on the project. "The marsh will play the role of being a sponge, and will help with the wave energy coming in."
The way Dodge Paddock looks now is one of the few examples Barrett and other coastal environment experts can point to thus far on the Connecticut coast as a "living shoreline," a concept that is being promoted in areas prone to erosion.
Local & State News Clips
November 22, 2016- Many State Birds In Decline and One Heading For Extinction, Report Warns
Many of Connecticut's native birds "are suffering slow, steady population declines" and at least one species appears headed for extinction, according to a
new report
released Monday by the Connecticut Audubon Society.
Avian experts are forecasting that the Saltmarsh Sparrow is facing "likely extinction" during next half century as a result of rising sea levels that could eradicate its shoreline habitats in Connecticut and elsewhere.
Blue-winged warblers, Brown Thrashers, Fields Sparrows, Clapper Rails and other species are losing an estimated 5 percent of their Connecticut populations each year, the report warned.
The gloomy estimates included in society's "State of the Birds" annual report for 2016 overshadow some encouraging news about other Connecticut birds like the Indigo Bunting and Prairie Warbler. Those two species and a number of other birds native to this state "appear to be doing well, with stable or even increasing populations," the report noted.
One interesting finding is that state and private efforts to provide grasslands habitat for the increasingly rare New England cottontail rabbit has also helped some bird species that need similar areas to sustain their populations.
Recommendations in the 2016
report include providing more money to state environmental protection programs for such projects to allow tidal marshlands to spread inland as Long Island Sound sea levels rise as a result of climate change. That would continue to provide endangered marsh birds breeding areas.
November 19, 2016- State Offers $2.7 Million To Spur Electric Vehicle Sales
Dannel P. Malloy
announced a new round of state funding to spur sales of electric vehicles as Connecticut pushes hard to reduce emissions.
Malloy announced $2.7 million in additional funding Friday on the opening day of the Connecticut International Auto Show in Hartford, where manufacturers and car dealers gathered to showcase their most recent models. Battery electric, fuel cell and plug-in hybrid vehicles are eligible for the rebates. The show runs through Sunday at the Connecticut Convention Center.
The subsidy, which was launched last year, makes available a total of $5.7 million from a settlement between the state and Northeast Utilities when the electric and gas utility purchased NStar in 2012.
By 2050, state officials are seeking to reduce emissions 80 percent from 2001 levels. The transportation sector is responsible for about 40 percent of carbon emissions in Connecticut, said Robert Klee, commissioner of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate program, known as CHEAPR, gives a cash rebate to residents, businesses and municipalities. Fuel cell-powered vehicles receive the largest rebate of $5,000 and the plug-in hybrid and full battery electric electric vehicles receive incentives from $750 to $3,000, based on battery size.
The rebates return money to consumers and support local retailers by helping lower the price of electric vehicles, making them more competitive with conventional gasoline-powered cars.
November 18, 2016- Rainfall Shortage Getting Worse: Nearly Half of Connecticut Now Considered in 'Extreme Drought'
Nearly half of Connecticut - including almost all of Litchfield and Hartford Counties - are now considered to be in "extreme drought," according to federal climate experts.
The National Drought Monitor website indicates that 44.5 percent of this state falls into the extreme drought category, with 24.8 percent considered in "severe drought," and 30.7 percent in "moderate" drought. The driest areas of the state are in the northwestern section, with eastern Connecticut having fewer drought issues.
Five municipalities have now issued mandatory water restriction orders, according to the state officials, and another 18 have asked residents and businesses for voluntary restrictions. Late last month, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy requested that all Connecticut residents and businesses voluntarily restrict water use and state officials issued their first-ever "drought watch" for counties in the western and central portions of Connecticut.
In late October, 69.3 percent of the state was listed in severe drought.
National Weather Service records at Bradley International Airport indicate that precipitation since Jan. 1 is now 12.89 inches below normal, according to Lenore Correia, a meteorologist at the NWS regional office in Taunton, Mass.
November 15, 2016- Worth a Thousand Words: Connecticut's Coastline Changes
Some stories are best conveyed with words. Others, with pictures.
A pair of UConn educators recently turned to images to tell the story of the changes in the Connecticut coastline over the past century, showing just how its profile has been tailored by man and Mother Nature throughout that time.
The resulting work, the award-winning
Connecticut's Coast: Then and Now
story map incorporates everything from early hand drawings of the coast and aerial photographs from 1934 to present-day drone images, all carefully pieced together to tell the coast's story.
The changes are a story worth telling to those studying the impact of coastal changes on life and commerce, and to those making policy decisions.
"We try to take this complex information and make it useful for people, and a really great medium to do this is by creating the story map," says Emily Wilson, an assistant extension educator at UConn whose expertise is geospatial information and maps. "There were many steps, including GIS and imagery analysis, graphics, writing, and design to get from the historic aerial photographs to a completed, polished story map."
Four years ago, Hurricane Sandy was a wake-up call for many in regard to coastal erosion and the raw force of nature in moving land, so Wilson knew they'd see evidence of changes at that point. But she was surprised to see the coastline had been changing since the early 1930s, the point at which they begin their story.
November 9, 2016- Naila Moreira: Climate Change Fuels River's Growing Anger
In late October, Richard Palmer, director of the Northeast Climate Center at the University of Massachusetts, gave a packed audience at the Forbes Library his take on how the behavior of the Connecticut River will change as the climate warms.
His statistics were startling. In the last half century, the amount of water falling during the Northeast's heaviest storms has increased 70 percent. Warmer air holds, and then dumps, more moisture.
All extreme events - both droughts and floods - are now more frequent both here and worldwide, said Palmer. Our severe drought in New England this past summer fits these observations.
How will rivers be affected? In winter, less snow and more rain will pour water into rivers in more sudden bursts. Palmer and his colleagues have projected that by 2075, towns like Chicopee and Deerfield will see winter stream flow increase by at least half and possibly as much as double.
"A large, unexpected flood of greater magnitude than we've seen in the past is what I'd be afraid of, because it would have large economic consequences," Palmer said.
In spring and summer, meanwhile, water levels could drop by comparison to today. No longer reliably fed by snowmelt, spring flows could decrease by almost 15 percent.
Normally, floods are cyclical, meaning you can predict approximately how often a flood of a given size will occur. Urban planners typically set up infrastructure to protect against a 100-year flood, or a size of flood that tends to occur about every 100 years.
But as the world warms, these are no longer normal times. Today, said Palmer, "we can't look to the past to predict the future."
What used to be a 100-year flood, in other words, could become much more frequent, threatening the area every 50 years, or possibly more often. Millions of dollars in flood planning could become outdated or even obsolete. Our planning may soon protect us, if you'll excuse a pun, only against run-of-the-mill floods.
October 29, 2016- Shoreline Resists Amtrak Upgrade
OLD LYME - This quaint shoreline community, proud of its role as a nursery of American Impressionist art, fears the destruction of its heritage if a federal proposal to someday run an East Coast high-speed rail line through its historic center becomes reality.
Residents of Old Lyme, population 7,600, have enlisted nearby communities in Connecticut and Rhode Island to stop a 50-mile portion of the proposed Northeast Corridor Future plan. They're awaiting a recommendation, possibly before the end of the year, from the Federal Railroad Administration on a "preferred alternative" route for a faster, modern Boston-to-Washington line.
The proposal includes a bypass between Old Saybrook, Connecticut, and Richmond, Rhode Island, that would run new high-speed Amtrak trains - in some places, on elevated tracks - through historic neighborhoods, an arts college, marshlands, commercial districts and tourist attractions, including the Florence Griswold Museum.
"I think this region, whether it's a tourist engine or just something worth preserving, it's worth the fight," said Gregory Stroud, an Old Lyme resident and academic who formed SECoast, a regional group leading the local opposition. It has enlisted the support of state and local politicians and is raising money to prepare for a possible legal challenge, depending on the Railroad Administration's recommendation.
Advocates contend the rail corridor faces serious challenges, with its century-old infrastructure, outdated technology and insufficient capacity to meet ridership demands. Some have also warned that tracks, which in many spots in New England hug the coastline, could flood as climate change raises sea levels.

November 24, 2016 - Perils of Climate Change Could Swamp Coastal Real Estate, New York Times
MIAMI - Real estate agents looking to sell coastal properties usually focus on one thing: how close the home is to the water's edge. But buyers are increasingly asking instead how far back it is from the waterline. How many feet above sea level? Is it fortified against storm surges? Does it have emergency power and sump pumps?
Rising sea levels are changing the way people think about waterfront real estate. Though demand remains strong and developers continue to build near the water in many coastal cities, homeowners across the nation are slowly growing wary of buying property in areas most vulnerable to the effects of
climate change

The real estate industry, particularly along the vulnerable coastlines, is slowly awakening to the need to factor in the risks of catastrophic damage from climate change, including that wrought by rising seas and storm-driven flooding.
But many economists say that this reckoning needs to happen much faster and that home buyers urgently need to be better informed. Some analysts say the economic impact of a collapse in the waterfront property market could surpass that of the bursting dot-com and real estate bubbles of 2000 and 2008.
The fallout would be felt by property owners, developers, real estate lenders and the financial institutions that bundle and resell mortgages.
November 17, 2016- Learning From Resilient Design Projects in the Wake of Superstorm Sandy
Nassau County, New York, located on Long Island, saw 1 percent of homes flood and 1.1 million residents lose power, when Superstorm Sandy hit in late October 2012.
Nassau's barrier islands, marshy lowlands and streams and rivers flowing to its bayfront render it susceptible to flooding from storms and poor drainage.
So when Rebuild by Design, a collaborative partnership between the Obama administration and The Rockefeller Foundation, offered to lend resilient design expertise to the county's recovery effort, Nassau jumped at the opportunity and the Living with the Bay project was born.
"These large-scale, multi-benefits projects are trying to solve multiple community challenges and require unprecedented coordination across city agencies and other stakeholders like the New York City Housing Authority, utilities and also state and federal government," said Jessica Grannis, Georgetown Climate Center adaptation program manager. "They have to get beyond silos.
Grannis was the lead author on the new report "Rebuilding with Resilience", analyzing the legal and policy challenges experienced by the six innovative RBD projects and using them as test cases to scale elsewhere.
Nassau was a standout because of its watershed approach involving the reconstruction of a dam, dredging of local waterways, installation of a water retention park, use of one-way check valves, and enhancement of barrier islands and marshes. The county looked at its entire landscape to figure out where the most cost-effective mechanisms should go, Grannis said.
November 17, 2016- Supermoon Floods Warn of Crisis Facing Trump, U.S.
President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to lead America during a perilous period for the 130 million residents of its coastal counties. High tides linked to the full moon since the weekend caused minor flooding from Florida to New England, underscoring the need for improved coastal infrastructure at a time of faster rising seas.
"We do see some pretty high tides, even without the full moon," said JB Workman, a golf course employee who moved into an increasingly flood-prone neighborhood in Brunswick, Ga., several years ago. "This past weekend the flooding was like I've never seen during my time here - way worse, and dangerous."
Globally, in recent years, America has been playing an outsized role in efforts to slow global warming, which would ease future sea level rise, though nothing could completely halt the problem now. That leading role could now be in jeopardy as Trump has called climate change a "hoax" and said during the campaign that he would withdraw America from efforts at the United Nations to address climate change.
Domestically, the federal government plays key roles in protecting coastal communities from floods, a job made more challenging as seas rise. That role may also be jeopardized, given promises by Trump and Republicans in Congress to slash federal spending.
Every year nationwide, sea level rise caused by global warming is directly responsible for hundreds of high tide floods like those in Workman's neighborhood. Coastal planners are grappling with the worsening problem, which is most pronounced along the East and Gulf coasts, where sea level rise has been fastest and where land is sinking and eroding away
November 15, 2016- Analysis of Six Regional Resiliency Projects Details Implementation Challenges
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, several federally sponsored projects sought to usher in new modes of urban design that protected against sea-level rise and re-imagined neighborhood design.
Now, the projects in New York and New Jersey, chosen through a national competition called Rebuild by Design, face challenges related to implementation, according to a new report.
"As these proposals move into implementation, the grantees are having to work hard to ensure that the resilience values of the project are not lost in translation," the report, due out later Tuesday morning, says. "Everyday systems and government processes (like cost benefit analysis, permitting, and procurement) are not well equipped to deliver projects that provide multiple benefits across a number of government silos."
The report, called "Rebuilding with Resilience," was prepared by the Georgetown Climate Center, with support from The Rockefeller Foundation and Rebuild by Design - a group of advocates, architects and planners that formed to track the projects' progress.
The 100-page report looks at the six projects chosen in the 2013 competition: Manhattan's "Big U," The Bronx's "Hunt's Point Lifelines," Staten Island's "Living Breakwaters," Long Island's "Living with the Bay," Hoboken's "Resist, Delay, Store, Discharge," and the Meadowlands' "New Meadowlands."
November 15, 2016- John Kerry's Antarctica Visit Highlights a Continent, and Climate Policies, Under Threat
SCOTT BASE, Antarctica - A group of hikers in red parkas approached a half-dozen seals resting on floating sea ice. The leader of the entourage - Secretary of State John Kerry - raised his arms and ordered everyone to halt.
As an ethereal silence descended, Mr. Kerry cocked his head in the stillness of one of the world's last truly wild places.
In that moment, the frozen landscape seemed timeless, but it is actually in grave peril, as Mr. Kerry had been told by scientists only minutes before. The ice across large parts of West Antarctica may be starting to disintegrate because of global warming, and if it goes, the world's coastal cities face destruction, too.
The presence of Mr. Kerry, the highest-ranking United States government official ever to visit Antarctica, lifted the morale of scientists working to understand the icebound continent. Yet the visit, at the end of last week, was shadowed by anxiety.
In his nearly four years as secretary of state, Mr. Kerry has hurled himself into conservation issues, making them a central focus of American diplomacy and winning a string of ambitious deals to limit global warming and protect the oceans.
November 7, 2016- San Francisco Voters Pave the Way for Climate Adaptation
Climate change has largely been ignored in conversations surrounding the presidential election. Local elections have been another matter, however, with many cities and states talking about how to deal with it.
Last June, San Francisco area voters took a major step in adapting to sea level rise by approving a Measure AA, a $1-a-month parcel tax that will raise $500 million over 20 years, with the purpose of funding wetlands restoration.
Because of state requirements, the measure needed to secure 66 percent of votes in order to pass. Such a majority can be difficult because many object to parcel taxes, since single family homeowners pay the same amount as, say, Google. It got 70 percent.
David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay, which spearheaded the funding effort, said part of the reason the measure got so much of the vote was there's so much love for the bay.
"When you say San Francisco Bay you're saying the Bay Area, and Measure AA - which is a very small tax shared by a lot of people to raise a lot of money together for a big benefit - that felt like doing something for the place we live," Lewis said.
Environmentalists have long touted the benefits of healthy wetlands: cleaner water, habitat for species and carbon sequestration. These days, however, more focus is put on their ability to slow storm fronts and absorb flood waters.
"The business community here has come to realize that part of the solution for addressing climate change and adapting to sea level rise in the Bay Area is restoring wetlands where we can do that," Lewis said.
November 7, 2016- Coastal Mega-Cities Could See More Than 6 Feet of Sea Level Rise by 2100
With global climate talks kicking off in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday, a new study provides a sobering warning about what may happen to coastal mega-cities if decisive global emissions cuts are not made soon.
Based on a scenario in which countries fail to sharply rein in emissions of global warming pollutants, coastal cities are likely to see the fastest rate of sea level rise in human history before the end of the current century, the study found.
This damaging scenario is not just limited to a future generation in the year 2100 but has already begun.
What's more striking is that the study shows that more than more than 90 percent of the world's coastal areas will see more than the global average sea level rise.
The study paints a particularly dark scenario for the densely populated cities of South and Southeast Asia, where low-lying coastal cities could be eaten away by the sea, displacing millions.
The study, published Monday in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
, found that if global warming pushes past 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels, about 80 percent of the global coastline may see more sea level rise than the global average.
The study is the first to make specific sea level rise projections for 136 coastal cities starting with 2 degrees Celsius of warming and above, according to lead author Svetlana Jevrejeva of The National Oceanography Center in Liverpool.
Jevrejeva and her colleagues found that 2 degrees of warming would yield an average global ocean rise of 0.6 feet. But in the sprawling city of Lagos, Nigeria, for example, that much warming would likely cause 0.7 feet of sea level rise with a worst-case-scenario of 1.1 feet.

During the company's conference meeting earlier this morning, Sony revealed plans to roll out a line of 3D-related products for your home, including a new series of televisions and Blu-ray players, and also plans to upgrade all PlayStation 3 consoles with a firmware update adding 3D capability by fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
This news and more in the Daily Fix.
- More Details on RE:5 Gold
In line with the company's 3D strategy going forward, Sony also plans to have ready 3D compatible software. Whether that means entirely new 3D games or simply upgrading older titles remains to be seen.
"Next year, in tandem to the Sony 3D TV product launch, PS3 also plans to launch 3D game titles, not just first-party, but we're also actively supporting third-party 3D software development," said Kaz Hirai, head of Sony Computer Entertainment.
Sony CEO Howard Stringer hinted at this movement this past September, but details at that time were unclear. Sony has also yet to unveil pricing for its new 3D televisions, but it is assumed they could cost in upwards of $3,000 during the initial launch.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - No one in Yellville will say if they expect wild turkeys to fall from planes for this year's Turkey Trot Festival. But the Federal Aviation Administration says it will be watching.
An FAA spokesman tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the agency will track any pilot who drops wild turkeys over the tiny north Arkansas town. Offenders could lose their licenses.
The spokesman, Lynn Lunsford, says no one in town will tell them who flies the planes.
Fans of the drop say it doesn't hurt the turkeys, which float to the ground.
(Full story here.)
"Doesn't hurt the turkeys?!"
I suggest the organizers view this before disaster strikes again, including Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson's immortal words, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

1. Action Plan
1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation's role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?
Our organisation is committed to delivering cost effective, efficient and safe healthcare solutions for people in our communities. We encourage innovation and the development of technology in our sector and we help people with empathy, courtesy, dignity and kindness. We regularly attend events in our communities to educate both patients and carers on new assistive products on the market. Our vision reflects our purpose. We have a proud tradition of providing Community Equipment to assist people often at difficult times in their lives, in circumstances when their health is declining.
We strive to provide the best service possible and encourage people to talk to us about their difficulties at home or while out and about so we can help with any equipment or advice. Medequip have dedicated technicians who are fully trained in servicing, installing and maintaining equipment. We encourage our customer service teams to become dementia friends to gain a better understanding of the difficulties our customers face on a daily basis and we aim to have a dementia friend in each of our operational depots.
We also create awareness of other businesses or charities in our communities that can assist people with their illnesses or disabilities through information hubs and outreach events.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
As with most businesses time constraints are difficult to overcome. Organising a suitable time and date for training can be difficult to plan. Once training is provided, keeping staff up to date with changes and learning new skills is time consuming and takes us away from our core functions. We have a supportive management team and try to find time as a business to fulfil our social responsibilities as well as our business objectives.
Another challenge is creating enough awareness of our business and how we can help our communities. We tend to do this through community 'hubs', local charities, local authority and NHS contacts. The cost of creating a wider knowledge of our services can also be expensive as we attend exhibitions and provide marketing literature.

finished zippered pouch
When I was sewing yesterday with my window open to the breeze, there was so much bird song and activity in the yard and at the birdbath, that I had to keep stopping to take pictures. If you're not a bird lover, you could skip the rest of the post.
First there was a female woodpecker.
I swear this same robin came several times. And, it splashed about at first but then it just sat in the water for a while. I wonder if the heat affects them too.

Nice pouch. A whole flock of grackles descended and stripped the chokecherry shrubs of all the berries.

The pouch came out great!!! One of my favorite things to do is open the windows and listen to the birds. I don't think I will be hearing many from my new location :(

Hey! We have the exact same bird bath. Not like it's terribly unusual but still... I let a lot of things go but I do keep my bird bath clean and filled. And the birds do love it. We have a robin who thinks it belongs to him alone. They must be clean-obsessed birds, I think sometimes. Now my cats go there to get a drink too. I go to a lot of trouble to make sure they have fresh water and then they go to drink bird poo-ey soup. Ick. They're all crazy, aren't they? Why poo in your drinking water??

Like the Moschino Luxury collection, the Love Moschino broadcast line has had a lot of unusual styles. However, in my opinion, the styles of Love Moschino are unusual in a cute and playful way. Moschino's luxury pieces can be downright bizarre. So I don't mind writing about the Love Moschino bags, especially when they're as adorable as the one you see here. Know the Totalizer Moschino Love Moschino Scarf!
This simple and friendly tote for vegans features synthetic leather in rich and classic colors. My favorite is the red. The red is not only a great color that is bright (for a touch of color) and neutral (which goes with a ton of things), but it is also the color that comes with a super cute fox scarf. And I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it almost seems like the fox is a mockery of a fox stole. Either way, he's super adorable with his extended legs and his sunglasses. Also available are blue (with duck scarf) and black (with panda scarf). Whatever color you choose, I think this would be the perfect basic bag for a daily wardrobe. Want to add some fun? Simply tie the animal-themed scarf to the mango!
The Moschino Love Moschino Scarf hand bag is available here at ShopBop.
