Just imagine how much rubbish we produce over Christmas, particularly thanks to unwanted gifts which end up gathering dust at the back of the cupboard or in the bin. It's because of this we are being encouraged to take a more conscious approach to our Christmas shopping. So, if you haven't finished your shopping yet, perhaps consider this story.
Don't buy for the sake of buying
Ethical shopping expert Judith Treanor wants us to think more carefully before making the purchase and ask yourself if the purchase will make a difference to the recipient or are you just buying for the sake of it?
"We live in such a wasteful society that this year I really want to make sure my shopping doesn't add to this waste," said Mrs Treanor.
"There are amazing products made from re-cycled items with powerful stories behind them especially from social enterprises in South East Asia," she said.
"Proving that products made from re-cycled goods can be beautiful and unique while also enabling us to do our bit for the environment."
"To many people Christmas has always been about excess."
"But our society has become more conscious about the environment and about where things come from."
"We all re-cycle our household waste and most of us would prefer not to add to the mountains of rubbish we see in landfills."
"So I think this should extend to the gifts we buy for Christmas."
"Recycling doesn't just have to be about what we put in our rubbish bins, it can also be the source of some wonderful handmade, unique products."
Beautiful items made from recycled products or sustainable materials
Jewellery made from bullets from Cambodia's Khmer Rouge– From horror comes beauty. Ankor Bullet Jewellery is made from recycled bomb casings from the days of war.
Jewellery made by women rescued or at risk from human slavery in Cambodia– Senhoa's motto is to employ, empower and emancipate. Women rescued from a dark place make this beautiful jewellery.
A store specialising in ethical gifts
Judith Treanor owns an online store with a difference and helps women in South East Asia have better lives, decent pay and working conditions.
TemplesandMarkets.com specialises in ethical products from Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand with a story behind every product.
Ms Treanor has been supporting social enterprise in South East Asia for nearly two years and she believes that people would prefer to buy items with a story behind them.
"I know that more and more people want to do the right thing and shop ethically," said Mrs Treanor.
"But sometimes they just don't know where to look,"
"I set up TemplesandMarkets to show consumers that you can buy beautiful, unique gifts made by unique people from unique cultures."
"This Christmas I'm calling on everyone to think twice before they buy their presents and think how they can help the environment and help others," said Mrs Treanor.

Release Date: March 22, 2014
Studio: Independently recorded and produced
Genre: Heavy metal/Classic metal
For Fans of: Black Sabbath, Dio, Metallica, Iron Maiden
Hailing from the age-toughened streets of Chicago, the heavy metalers in Sacred Monster released their debut EP Knowledge in the spring of 2014. The EP only runs four tracks, but packs a surprisingly engaging classic metal punch, containing riffs that evoke many of the metal genre's most beloved.
The EP kicks off with "Running the Risk," a brisk track that the band structures well to showcase each member's ability. For a genre that has been oversaturated with bands for years now, it is refreshing to hear a young metal band approaching their own songs through many elements of metal that began in the early to mid '80s.
Immediately, the listener can hear that the band has a penchant for the compositional tenacity of traditional metal. Within both their timbre and their structuring of songs, metal fans (particularly from older generations) will be pleasantly surprised by the lack of over-production. Dozens of contemporary metal and hardcore bands use the advancements of studio technology as a crutch to lean on in order to escape having to write intentional, pre-thought-out songs. Sacred Monster is no such band.
Second track "The Hound" continues the band's groovy propensity for chunkier metal riffing. Throughout certain phrasings, vocalist Adam Anderson's gritty, throaty shrieks reflect certain stylings of other vocalists that also preferred higher registers, such as Judas Priest's Rob Halford and King Diamond's Kim Petersen.
Guitarists Matthew Cohen and Robert Nubel never sit tight for long, as their dynamic work bounces off each other and proves to work well for the riffs they formulate. Leads and solos are aplenty, and "The Hound" represents the band's apparent aim to be carving out a sweet spot for how their tempos complement their riffs. Sacred Monster plays mid-tempo metal well.
Clocking in at nearly six and a half minutes, "Midnight Sun" hears the band breaking their groovy melodic and bass lines down even further, giving guitarists Cohen and Nubel another chance to shine. The guitar work and solos on "Midnight Sun" are markedly impressive for the fact that they are tasteful, and do not sound to be thrown in simply for soloing's sake.
Later on in "Midnight Sun," the band picks the tempo up for more robust riffing, and drummer Ted Nubel plays to this change well. On Knowledge, the band's tone of choice for stringed instruments gives off an almost buzz-saw quality (known to be more popular among European grindcore bands such as Rotten Sound and Exhale), and this timbre fits in noticeably well for the angle at which Sacred Monster are composing their songs.
"Forbidden Fruit" closes the EP, featuring the best execution of clean vocals on Knowledge. Each member of the band plays "Forbidden Fruit" with intentionality, making a powerful and coherent statement on the face of the EP. Sacred Monster pulls off what can often prove as difficult – composing metal songs with melody that are not oppressively busy.
A few areas in which Knowledge is lacking are production quality and the alignment of instrumentation. Sacred Monster has an acknowledgeable amount of grit in their music, but the clarity of instruments could stand to be increased on subsequent releases. The rhythm section of Sacred Monster is also faulty on Knowledge – not to their severe detriment, but drummer Nubel's fills are more often than not shaky.
For a debut EP, Knowledge is a strong imprint of Sacred Monster's abilities, for their fans and the Chicagoland metal scene. A number of the melodic phrasings dished up by the EP's guitar work are surprisingly akin to Iron Maiden, one of the world's most dearly loved and widely respected metal bands.
Provided they continue to flesh out their tendencies towards classic metal and composing authentic songs, Sacred Monster has a lot of potential for becoming one of the most appreciated bands in this niche of their metal scene. Download Knowledge through their Bandcamp, found below.

Cornwall construction worker dies in work-related accident
An older resident of Mountainville, Cornwall, who worked for the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for two decades, died on Wednesday morning, August 7 in what was described as a "work-related" accident. Sixty-one-year-old Lance Gayton was discovered by his fellow employee at the Youmans Flats garbage transfer station at Harriman State Park.
According to the other worker, Gayton had been involved in a "work-related" accident using a "piece of heavy construction equipment." He said he then called emergency medical personnel for help. The New York State Park Police and State Parks lifeguards responded to the accident until an ambulance came to carry Gayton off to the Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, where he was declared dead at around 11:18 a.m.
The state's Public Employee Health Safety Bureau officials are investigating the incident.
Gayton was survived by his wife, Linda, and his children, Jennifer and Jason.

Holly Madison and Benji Madden: New Couple Alert!by Hilton Hater at .
Yup, this seems about right:
Holly Madison and Benji Madden are rumored to be dating. This can't come as a shock to anyone familiar with each celebrity's need for attention and/or questionable taste in the opposite sex. No offense, Hugh Hefner and Paris Hilton.
Okay, some offense.
A witness told Life & Style, the pair of D-listers was seen at a Starbucks together on Sunday.
"It was obvious something was going on between them," said an onlooker. "Benji stood next to Holly with his arm around her. He was rubbing her lower back and the top of her butt, and she was hanging on his shoulder. They were laughing and flirting the entire time. They couldn't take their hands off each other!"
Madison isn't shying away from the fact that she has a man. She Tweeted this week:
"You can say I'm hanging out with someone I have a crush on. [Benji] is just someone I have a crush on... for now!"
But, hey, if another wrinkly old man comes along with a TV show, you'll have some competition, Benji!

So while doing the Postage Stamp Quilt Along, I learned about the June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler. I finally had a coupon when it was in stock at Hobby Lobby about a month ago.
It was love at first use. Yesterday, I cut those 3" squares for the Steelers quilt in about five minutes - slice, slice, slice - turn - slice, slice, slice.
However, I noticed that you really had to pay attention to where your hand was, because with all those lines, it's a little hard to tell where you're going to be cutting in the middle of the fabric.
I thought about doing a little post, extolling the virtues of the ruler and jokingly adding the warning.
Ha ha, joke's on me!
Okay, seriously, people. Pay attention to where your hand is on this ruler.
Because it hurts A LOT to slice off the side of your index finger.
No stitches - it was too clean of a cut. It throbs, but I have Tylenol with codeine, so it's a manageable pain.
Though for the next few days, I'm going to work on some things that don't require cutting.

According to the chief executive of the Higher Education Authority, Tom Boland, taxation alone cannot cover the cost of free college education. A report will go to the Minister of Education later this summer, which may lead to the reintroduction of fees.
Without free college education, I would never have gone to university.
There's no "you'd have found the money somehow" or "what about a scholarship", I simply wouldn't be here. My mother is a single parent who struggled financially for years to bring me up, and while I'm intelligent, I'm nowhere near smart enough to qualify for any kind of academic bursary. I would be back in a small town in North Cork, working in a shop if I was lucky, and dying a thousand soul-deaths.
I know Ireland needs to borrow a stupid amount of cash to keep functioning on a daily basis at the moment. I know the realities of our situation. I know it would be economic suicide for us to not make a few cutbacks. I even feel a little sorry for Minister Ruairi Quinn, who probably sincerely meant his pre-election promise not to bring in fees, and now feels he has little other choice. But cutting education, or reintroducing fees, is a foolish, foolish decision.
Students at the moment are struggling. Our 'free fees', that tautological phrase, haven't been free for years. The registration fee is set currently at €2,250. Many middle-class families are struggling to put their kids through college. Students who are lucky enough to have found a job have coped with an average 12% cut in hours according to a recent survey by Mandate trade union.
Now, if you are on the bottom of the ladder, like I will freely admit my family are, you get this covered. I have encountered some resentment over the years for the amount I receive in my grant, as a result, I don't like telling people how much I get. I know I owe the Irish state a lot. But I intend for their investment in me to pay off.
Education is a long-term investment. The introduction of free third-level education in the 1990s probably only rivals the introduction of free secondary education in 1966 as the bravest educational decision ever made in Ireland. Critics argue that the only benefactors were the middle-class, and working-class students still don't make it to college. I agree to a certain extent, but the barriers standing in their way are no longer financial, they are social and emotional.
But let us look at the situation across the water before we go any further.
Britain, despite being the land of Shakespeare, Radio 4, and Speaker's Corner, is sliding ever closer to an intellectual vacuum. I watched, for some bizarre reason, a bit of Britain's Got More Talent recently. Three Oxford students were auditioning, and depressingly, the gurning idiot interviewing them acted like they had twenty heads each for having a back-up plan in case singing for the Queen on a single occasion didn't lead to a lasting career. Is that what we want for Ireland? For educational achievement to be so rare that it becomes something odd?
Britain has a loan system in place for students, but it hardly matters, because there, going to college if your family hasn't has turned into a rare event. I have a friend from the UK who is the only person out of her primary school class who went to third-level- because she moved to Ireland.
And this lack of investment in its youth has paid off Britain? Not quite. Children who can't find England on a map, one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in Europe, and last summer's riots. They all sound like Daily Mail headlines, but they're the consequences of not investing in education, of not letting young people feel like they can have ambition, and showing them a narrow vision of their future.
We in Ireland did the right thing by abolishing fees for colleges. We were lucky that our class system largely was tuppence ha'penny looking down on tuppence. Our investment in education speaks for itself. Sure, things went belly-up, but our workforce is bright and qualified, and we are still a destination for foreign investment.
Now going to college is the done thing in Irish society, but if fees are reintroduced, that will change. And Ireland will suffer in the long run.
I wish I knew an alternative. I know there has to be cuts made. I'm no economist but I know that the 'troika' don't give a rat's ass where we make the savings, as long as we make them. In that case, why not cut TDs' salaries, allowances, expenses? Let being a politician be a vocation, as it should be, and not a highly paid career. Whatever happens, let cuts to education and health, and the reintroduction of fees be a last resort. I don't think we have hit the last resort yet. High profile tax exiles like Bono refuse to contribute to their native country with impunity. This is wrong. Everyone that can pay tax, should pay. These are the targets the government should be hitting, not students, who after their three or four years of education, will find themselves in a better position to contribute to the Irish economy.
My father is an intelligent man who never got the chance to even finish second level education. I hope and pray his grandchildren aren't left in a similar situation.
This article appeared on Studenty.me on May 24 2012. A correction to the original article which stated student workers faced a 12% cut in pay, that should read hours.

RICHMOND, B.C. — RCMP say a woman arrested at Vancouver's airport for allegedly stealing a passenger's purse is believed to be part of an organized group of thieves targeting airports.
The Mounties say the 60-year-old woman was arrested by Vancouver airport RCMP officers in conjunction with an ongoing undercover theft investigation.
The RCMP says plainclothes teams have been at the airport conducting surveillance since March for theft issues primarily at the international arrivals terminal.
Police say other law enforcement agencies besides the RCMP are interested in the accused and have been involved in the investigation.
RCMP say the woman is in custody and police are looking at the possibility of linking her with multiple thefts.
RCMP Inspector Keith Bramhill says in a statement that thieves who specialize in theft at airports generally work in teams and divert attention from passengers to steal valuables.

Making Styrofoam airplanes is an excellent hands-on learning and arts and crafts activity for children. Creating Styrofoam airplanes not only teaches children about the aerodynamics of airplanes, but also lets them make an inexpensive toy that will entertain them for days. You can make Styrofoam airplanes using a few items found around the house.
Print out the Styrofoam airplane template (a link is provided in the "Resources" section of this article) or draw your own. The plane will have two parts: the body and a single wing piece. Cut out the airplane template pieces with a pair of scissors.
Clean two Styrofoam vegetable trays or the tops of two Styrofoam egg cartons. You can purchase new Styrofoam trays at your local supermarket in bulk if you plan on making many Styrofoam airplanes.
Trace the airplane pieces onto the Styrofoam trays and cut them out.
Make a slit for the wings. Cut a slit in the airplane body near the middle, where the wings will go. Cut right through the Styrofoam. Check the template for help in identifying this spot.
Push the wing piece through the slit on the airplane body.
Color and add designs to the foam airplane, such as windows and airline emblems, using permanent markers or paint.

With the rising prices of fuel and increases in the concern of global warming and the environment, electric scooters and motorbikes are becoming in demand…
But what are the disadvantages of owning and running an electric scooter or motorbike?
Compared to normal scooters or motorcycles, the up front purchasing price of these types of vehicles tend to be more, but this is changing quickly as costs are falling.
Electric vehicles tend to have a shorter range before needing to be recharged, but again, this is changing due to improvements in battery power.
Recharging your vehicle takes longer that filling your tank up with petrol, but this can be done over night on a trickle charge.
The top speed of electric scooters and motorcycles tend to be lower than their petrol counterparts.
To recharge an electric vehicle you need to be near a power outlet… you will need a very long lead if you live on the top floor of an apartment building!
On very cold days, battery power can reduce by up to 20 per cent!
The near to silent operation of an electric scooter or motorbike can dangerous for both yourself and pedestrians.
The fuel prices of running an electric scooter or motorbike is a fraction of running a petrol driven machine.
Extremely quiet performance
Very environmentally friendly, no emissions at source.
Very covenant to recharge, it can be done at home!
Lower maintenance, which equals lower maintenance costs!
If you wish… electric scooters and motorcycles can be ridden indoors!
Electric scooters and motorcycles are cheaper to buy and are more affordable than electric cars.

The Cricket Loom is a wonderfully accessible way to create woven fabrics without committing to a room-size loom. It's an amazingly engineered tool, sturdy, compact, and totally easy; and with it, you can make gorgeous fabrics, like our Woven Scarf.
The Cricket Loom comes with a thorough instruction booklet, but here are an extra few pointers and re-iterations which you may find helpful!
Assembling the Loom
Putting a new Cricket Loom together is a whole lot easier than an afternoon with an Ikea dresser! With the help of a small electric drill, I assembled mine in less than half an hour. (You can also use a screwdriver, it just might take a little longer.)
The reed, aka the "heddle," is the device that holds the threads of the warp in alternate slots and holes. Moving the reed from one position to another is what moves some threads up and others down, creating the "shed", i.e. the space through which you pass the weft.
Both widths of the Cricket Loom come with an 8-dent reed, which is the perfect size for worsted weight yarns. There are also other reed sizes available to accommodate other size yarns! Here's a guideline:
- 5-dent: Bulky yarns
- 8-dent: Worsted yarns
- 10-dent: Sport weight yarns
- 12-dent: Fingering weight yarns
Warping the Loom
"Warping the loom" is putting the threads (i.e. the "warp") onto the loom. (Don't worry, Cricket's instructions go over all the basic weaving terms!)
Although the how-to booklet mentions starting to warp the loom two inches from the heddle's edge, you can warp the loom all the way to the edges of the heddle. Remember that even if your warp reaches the edges, the finished cloth will be a little narrower than the 10 or 15-inch reed because the cloth tends to shrink a bit when you take it off the loom (the Woven Scarf, for example, shrank about 1/2 inch).
When winding on the warp, make sure the paper is wider than the warp and that the warp doesn't fall off the edges of the paper as you roll.
When you're tying on the front ends of the warp, start out by tying just half of the surgeon's knot so that you can adjust the tension more easily. Once the tension feels even, you can finish the knots.
Once I got the hang of it, it took me about 4 minutes to weave an inch of this scarf. A lot faster than knitting, and mind you, I was using fingerweight yarns. Imagine how fast anything thicker would be!
You can pack quite a bit of yarn onto the shuttle. As long as it fits through the shed, you're good, and more yarn means more uninterrupted weaving!
Make sure to bring the yarn through the shed at a 45-degree angle. If you bring it straight across, the fabric will "draw-in" and won't have a nice, relaxed finish.
This is a good place to mention, too, that it's worth paying special attention to the tension of the weft at the selvedges. Try to keep the yarn relaxed but not sloppy at the selvedges, and most importantly, try to be consistent.
When you come to the end of the yarn that is on the shuttle, just wind a new shuttle and overlap by a few inches the new end with the old end. There will be a short distance where the weaving pattern is interrupted, but it is hardly noticeable!
You should try to keep the warp's tension as even as possible each time you advance the warp. You don't have to go crazy with this, but an even warp tension will help keep the weft threads consistent throughout the fabric.
Most techniques for finishing hand woven fabric involve a fringe. One of the prettier options is the hemstitch. Click here for a full tutorial on Finishing with Hemstitch. You can also experiment with hemming the ends over, embroidering the ends or making fringe with overhand knots or more elaborate knotting techniques.
Once your finished piece is off the loom, it's important to hand wash the fabric, squeeze out the excess water, and lay the piece out flat to dry. Depending on the washability of the yarn you used, you may see that the fibers bloom a bit, filling in a loose weave.
Other Ideas
Try using different size yarns for the warp and weft. A heavier warp with a thin weft can have a beautiful effect.
A thin yarn on a large reed with a lightly beat weft will result in a light, gauzy fabric.
And once you've got the hang of it, you may want to research different way of setting up the warp for different weave structures. The internet is full of rigid-heddle weaving patterns and inspiration!

Sat-nav maker TomTom has responded quickly to some of its units being hobbled by a "leap year bug". Not all TomToms are affected but the problem proved serious because it rendered numerous devices useless for navigation.
Symptoms include a blank grey screen and an inability to lock onto any GPS satellites. If you are lost, or away from home, you can temporarily get your affected device to work with a hard reset; holding the power button for 20 seconds.
However if you are at home or have access to the internet and TomTom's update service, you can now update your device to fix the bug. Instructions from TomTom are available here. That's quite a fast response from the first cry for help on the TomTom message boards on Monday; "My TomTom 1535 doesn't work! Help!"
Dedicated sat-nav manufacturers have had to endure a series of bad news and forecasts for their industry so this kind of leap year bug is publicity they didn't want to have. Just focussing on TomTom for now, it's been in the headlines for sales drops and workforce layoffs, and earmarked for complete extinction due to the threat of smartphones.
Indeed dedicated sat-nav makers must innovate or die. They have cut prices and added features but are still fighting the smartphone tide. My daughter just had her sat-nav stolen and called me to ask for help with a replacement, after a brief web search I called her back and said "use your phone", she has a powerful Samsung Galaxy S, for which there are several free and useable sat-nav programs readily available.
Has anyone substituted using a dedicated sat-nav device with their smartphone recently? Let us know in the comments below.

Two days off from work left me with a little time to do a lot of things. I bought Marlene Koch's new cookbook, Eat More of What You Love, and I've been wanting to try some of the recipes out of it. I had bought some blueberries from Sam's Club that were begging to be made in to coffee cake (from her first book) and I had some bananas on the counter that really wanted to be made into banana bread. Well wouldn't you know it, she had a recipe for that in her new book.
Let me just start by saying, sorry I don't have a picture of the banana bread. When I took the picture, I couldn't figure out why it was so dark. I later figured out that I hadn't changed the exposure back since the concert this past weekend.
But this banana bread used molasses, Splenda, bran flakes and wheat flour instead of the normal sugar, brown sugar and extra stuff that's no good for you. Given, one piece is still 120 calories, but that's an after lunch treat I can afford. If you're a lover of banana bread like I am and have some bananas sitting around that you should have eaten days ago, try out this recipe.
My dinner adventure also came out of her new book, though I altered it just a smidge. Its a chicken sandwich with barbecue sauce and bacon (and healthy?? What??), and instead of the lettuce, I used avocado. I also mixed some hot sauce in with my barbecue sauce.
And so simple.
Chicken breast, pounded, and seasoned with salt and pepper then cooked (grill or pan, your choice). Cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, a wheat bun, lettuce, tomato, and a piece of bacon. Done.
Love this sandwich.
So an update about the diet. Weekends as of late, not so great for me. I get too excited about a Saturday and my honey being home and cheat too much on my diet. Or I have a really bad day at work and have a Jack and Coke or two. But during the week, I've been really good. Like eating salad every night, and only going over my calorie count by maybe 100, very seldom. Working out, I don't run as much as I should, but when I do work out, I push it. And guess what? My little accomplishment this morning… I fit back into a smaller pair of my jeans. Not as well as I used to, but before the wedding I couldn't even get them buttoned. Yay!

This weekend Rapper T.I was in for quite a scare when Rapper/Friend, Lil Wayne, was misreported to be near-death and in the hospital. Wayne, who was shocked by the rumors surrounding his health, was briefly hospitalized after having suffered from a seizure early Friday. Yesterday TMZ reported that Wayne was being delivered "his last rites" and that family and friends were waiting solemnly by his bed side. Immediately after these false reports circulated, family and friends repudiated via Twitter. T.I, himself, tweeted and bashed TMZ after misleading him. But honestly T.I, it kind of worries me that your #1 news outlet is TMZ; I mean they're basically the televised edition of the National Enquirer!
What do you guys think? Was T.I wrong to lash out at TMZ? Yay or Nay?

Lotsa sox...
Blossoms and bees socks, I have not embellished them with a flower, I can't see who'd see it anyway? Hand-knit from Regia hand-dyed effect, finally got around to weaving the ends in.
Rather over-exposed, baby socks in DB magicolor - a quick machine knit from a recent MKM. Knitted flat, I think I'd be tempted to plug the figures into the penny sock pattern and do them that way in future.
This is what socks look like straight off the CSM...
...and this is them finished. An unknown yarn plus leftover Regia Kaffe Fassett, not quite fraternal as one ended up with a slightly different toe. Knitted on Imperia 72 cylinder CSM, T6 for the cylinder, T3 for the ribber, 46 rows for the foot which is *just* long enough for my size 7s.
I need to have a sort out, I have so many pairs of handknitted socks and unlike shop bought ones they live forever, pretty much. It's getting to the stage where the drawer won't shut properly. Definitely time for a cull.
As if that weren't enough socks, I cast on "Hopscotch" this weekend, another pattern from "Think outside the sox", with some hand-dyed sock yarn with tencel. Sparkly!

If you don't consider underwater loan owners true home owners, the home ownership rate drops significantly.
Irvine Home Address … 54 DESERT WILLOW Irvine, CA 92606
Resale Home Price …… $960,000
What you think

To be real
Cheryl Lynn — Got to Be Real
Fed Study Finds 'Real' Homeownership Rate
By Nick Timiraos
The U.S. homeownership rate, already down two percentage points from its 2006 peak of 69%, could fall by another five percentage points over the coming years to levels last seen in the mid-1990s, says a staff report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The study looks at the number of homeowners who are underwater, owing more than their homes are worth, and excludes them from the official homeownership rate calculated every quarter by the Census Bureau.
While the official figure stood at 67.2% at the end of last year, the authors produce their own estimate of an "effective" homeownership rate. The difference between the official and effective homeownership rates, or what the authors dub the "homeownership gap," is around 5.6 percentage points for the nation as a whole, which means the effective rate of homeownership is closer to 62%.
That homeownership gap is much bigger in cities that have seen big home-price declines. In Las Vegas, for example, the gap stands at more than 40 percentage points. So while Sin City's official homeownership rate stood at 58.6% as of August 2009, the effective homeownership rate was closer to a paltry 14.7%. (That estimate uses the Case-Shiller home-price index to predict the number of underwater borrowers; estimates from the Federal Housing Finance Agency's price index, which have less-severe price declines, produces an effective rate of 19.3%.)
In Phoenix, the effective homeownership rate stands at 40.6%, compared to an official rate of 68.8%. Las Vegas and Phoenix had peak homeownership rates of 65% and 74.7%, respectively, during the middle of the last decade. That means Phoenix, in less than five years, has gone from having one of the highest homeownership rates in the country to having one of the lowest effective rates of homeownership.
Other cities with double-digit homeownership gaps include San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Tampa, Detroit, and Washington, D.C.
The effective rate of homeownership doesn't imply that all underwater borrowers will lose their homes; instead, it suggests that they won't act as traditional homeowners do. Government policy over the past two decades focused on growing the rate of homeownership for public policy reasons: Homeowners, the argument went, were more invested in maintaining not only their properties, but also their communities.
The effective homeownership rate serves as a "good guide to the future path of the official rate" because many underwater homeowners are simply renters-in-waiting, write authors Andrew Haughwout, Richard Peach and Joseph Tracy of the New York Fed. "Unless house prices increase substantially, many negative equity homeowners will in fact convert to renters in the years ahead, and the measured rate of homeownership will decline toward the effective rate."
Some underwater borrowers, of course, will return to positive equity simply through the scheduled debt pay-down process. The study estimates that 36% of negative equity borrowers will recover their equity within three years, while 51% will be back "above water" within five years. That will speed up or slow down depending on what happens to home prices.
But homeowners will need to build up equity in order to move, which requires cash both for paying transaction costs associated with selling the old home and for a down payment for the new home. Absent any increase in home prices, it would take at least five years for 90% of borrowers who are underwater today return to a 94% loan-to-value. Moreover, the median mortgage in that group of borrowers would take 12 years to reach a 94% loan-to-value, without any home-price appreciation.

Care Tips for your Mermaid Tails
Now you are the proud owner of your very own mermaid tail. In order to keep it intact and beautiful for a long time, you need to follow certain instructions. On this page you will find some important care tips for your mermaid tails. With the right use and some of our tips and tricks, you will be able to use your new mermaid tail for a very long time.
Care Instructions for your Spandex Tail
While our mono fins were specifically designed for swimming, the tail skin on the other hand only consists of a swimwear fabric. It has the purpose to make you feel like a real mermaid or merman. Although manufactured with high quality durable materials, incorrect use will cause wear and tear. For example, if you accidentally kick the side of a swimming pool whilst wearing only the monofin, you will likely get away with no real damage other than light cosmetic scratch etc. The tail skin however won't cope with this as easily. You can damage the tail skin much quicker and possibly even tear it. In summary, to keep your tail skin beautiful, there are a few important care tips and instructions to follow.
Tips to help prevent wear and tear on your tail skin
Additional Tips:
There will come a time when you will want to replace your mermaid tail skin, you can purchase it here. Please note, that Mermaid Kat Shop doesn't offer any refunds for damage resulting from wear and tear. For more information, please visit our return policy.
Care Tips for your Silicone Mermaid Tail
Compared to spandex tails, silicone mermaid tails are much stronger and tougher. The silicone is in fact much thicker than the spandex tail skin. Therefore, the risk of holes in your tail is smaller. Nevertheless, a silicone mermaid tail needs love and specific care. Like many materials, a silicone tail can be punctured if treated incorrectly. Please follow our care tips to reduce the risk of damage.
Put on your tail correctly
Taking care of silicone mermaid tails starts with the right method of putting it on. Use a lubricant to help put on your tail. Natural oils like coconut or olive oil are good for your skin and don't harm the environment as much as chemical lubricants. Wet your legs with some water. Use a soft underground like a towel or yoga mat. Never try to put on your tail on hard undergrounds, such as concrete or tiles. It can damage your tail. When pulling up your tail, don't pull on the seams or attached fins. Furthermore avoid fingernails.
Care Instructions for Silicone Tails
Additional Tips:
Notably, Mermaid Kat only uses mermaid tails from Mermaid Kat Shop during her adventures. Not only for the exceptional quality and realistic look, but also for the power and efficiency. Our tails allow the professional mermaid to keep up with wild dolphins, sharks, crocodiles and other marine life.

Vollenweider to play at Baker U
Brittany Vollenweider will be progressing her softball skills onto the collegiate level. The Cassville High School senior signed with Baker University, located in Baldwin, Kan., on Tuesday.
Vollenweider pitched for Cassville for all four years of her high school career and might end up doing the same at Baker.
"(Brittany will make an impact) immediately, especially from a pitching standpoint," said Jennifer Rigdon, softball head coach at Baker University. Rigdon also has plans for Vollenweider to play first base.
"My goal is just to go out there and play well," said Vollenweider.
In addition to playing softball all four years Vollenweider also has excelled in basketball and track. Those sports have helped the senior with her versatility.
Also helping Brittany with her ability was her coaching situation for her high school career. She had three different coaches over four years.
"One thing about having three different coaches in four years of varsity softball is that she had to adapt to three distinctly different styles of coaching," said Tony Eagleburger, Cassville softball head coach this year. "I think her adaptability will enable her to step into a college program and roll with the punches right away."
Coach Rigdon felt the same way. "She came up for a try out and I was very, very interested as soon as I saw her," said Rigdon.
What stood out to Coach Rigdon?
"Athletic ability, composure on the field and how well she connected with the rest of the team on the field," commented the coach.
Vollenweider will attempt to become the third person in her family to graduate from Baker as both her parents are alumni, but she insists that was not the big reason for her decision.
"(It) wasn't a big factor, it was more about a place that I could see and was comfortable," said Vollenweider.
Brittany is the daughter of Mark and Melissa Vollenweider, of Cassville.

Here's some fun local history, accessible straight from your living room! Check out our Additional Resources page on the Upson County Website, http://upsoncountyga.org/280/Additional-Resources
We have links to digitized Georgia newspapers and much more!
Want to see what the courthouse square looked like between 1885-1921, try the Sanborn Maps of Thomaston. The image I've included is a snippet from the 1890 map. Parents, this would be a great time to explain how to read a map to your little ones. (Compass is included in the original, larger image)
Notice the four mule sheds on the south and east sides of the square! No wonder Thomaston was said to be the mule capital.
Another helpful resource linked to this page is Familysearch, if you're wanting to work on your genealogy. Membership is required, but it is free! The site contains many collections such as Georgia Probate records by county, and WWI WWII draft cards.

Here's something to be thankful about while home bound: rural electricity!
Thanks to the Rural Electrification Administration, a New Deal project under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, some 400 people of Upson County began to receive electricity in their homes. A first for many!
(Thomaston Times, April 2, 1937)
It was all thanks to a staggering light bill received by FDR, when staying at his Georgia home, The Little White House. The bill was said to be four times greater than those he received in New York.

KX-112 was a small planet that orbited a star away from any of the major commercial routes. It was associated with the Galactic Empire and the trafficking of the narcotic Blue. During the Galactic Civil War, a group of Rebel investigators went under cover to the planet Sanod to find the source of the drug trafficking. Their investigation led them to this small planet.
Behind the scenesEdit
KX-112 was created, along with Sanod and the planet Elbriade as part of the French role-playing game supplement in the magazine Casus Belli.

Calcaneal Fractures
Fractures of the calcaneus (heel bone) is the most common tarsal bone fracture. Most calcaneal fractures occur as the result of a fall from a height greater than 14 feet. Calcaneal fractures are common among roofers and rock climbers. The second most common contributing cause to these types of traumatic fractures are vehicle accidents. Calcaneal fractures are most commonly found in males age 30-50 y/o.
Calcaneal fractures have a track record of being difficult to deal with and have frustrated doctors for a long time. The situation in treating calcaneal fractures is in trying to rebuild the break to ensure that therapeutic may take place. The particular calcaneus will be much like an egg; an outer firm shell and soft on the inside. As a result, the calcaneus frequently shatters when broken. Calcaneal repair not only demands re-apposition of multiple break patterns, but also calls for restoration of the subtalar joint. The subtalar joint is the interface between the calcaneus and talus and is a major load bearing joint of the foot. In some cases, additional joint surfaces may be affected (the calcaneal cuboid joint) but are of lesser importance due to their limited weight bearing roles.
Two classifications are used for the classification of calcaneal fractures. The Rowe classification as well as the Essex-Lopresti group both describe calcaneal fractures. TheEssex-Lopresti classification describes subtalar joint depressive disorder fractures (very serious fractures) in much more detail than the more commonly used Rowe category. Plain xrays and CT scans are often used to determine the extent and classification of calcaneal fractures.
Type 1a - Tuberosity fracture medial or lateral
Type 1c - Fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus
Type 2b - Avulsion break involving the insertion from the tendo-Achillles
Type 4 - Body fracture involving the subtalar joint
The Essex-Lopresti Classification Of Calcaneal Fractures
Type a - Language Type
Type B - Joint depression type.
Stress Fractures With the Calcaneus
Stress fractures of the calcaneus are typically the result of a sudden abrupt injury but can happen without a history of trauma. The most common injury seen our practice is a fall from a height of more than 6 feet. A stress fracture of the calcaneus is a condition that is often overlooked as a differential diagnosis of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis (also called heel spur syndrome)is so common that a lot of health care providers will defer to plantar fasciitis as a primary diagnosis when checking heel pain. A good patient history, as well as particularly one that notes the onset and character of the pain, is very important when differentiating between plantar fasciitis and calcaneal stress fractures.
The diagnosis of calcaneal stress fractures can be difficult at times. Stress fractures, regardless of where they occur in the body, are different than what we would tend to think of when we discuss fractures. The appearance of a stress fracture on x-ray are not always evident.. Quite often, the only x-ray findings that we will see are those who show up towards the end of the healing process, sometimes as long as several months after the injuries. We don't actually visualize the fracture, but rather we see the calcification that occurs in the late phases of the healing process. Should the symptoms of heel pain not respond to treatment for plantar fasciitis, or original clinical findings seem suggestive of a stress fracture, there are several tools that can be used to help differentiate between calcaneal stress fractures and each of the other common conditions considered for heel pain.
Plain x-rays may be able to see a calcaneal fracture, but quite often, due to the lack of disruption of the bone, plain films lack the ability to 'see' the fracture. As fractures heal, many times the healing process can be seen on plain x-ray films. The healing process will increase the amount of calcium surrounding the break. This process of calcification typically requires about 4-6 weeks to see on plain x-ray, as a result, periodic follow-up x-rays may aid in diagnosing a stress fracture of the heel.

Three phase technitium bone scan may help differentiate the location and degree of inflammation in the calcaneus thereby helping to identify a calcaneal stress fracture. Bone scans are a test the place where a radioactive nucleotide is injected into the patient and a scan is taken of the injured area three times over the course of three hours. Each of the tests show a different level of inflammation based upon the increased blood flow to the painful area. In the case of a calcaneal crack, a bone scan can help in many ways.
- First, the scan will locate the area of the fracture based upon the inflammation seen in fracture healing.
- Second, the bone scan will help to differentiate between a number of other potential issues of the heel such as plantar fasciitis.
- Not only that, a check may help to determine the acuteness of an injury.
- For instance, we may see a questionable area on an x-ray but we will not be able to tell whether the thought injury is old or new.
- The bone scan will help us in that a new injury can 'light up' on the check due to its' current swelling.
- An old injury on the other hand is not going to light up' on the scan due to its' not enough current inflammation.
- MRI's are also helpful in differentiating calcaneal fractures from plantar fasciitis.
- MRI's can identify small areas of bone edema suggestive of a fracture.
Treatment of Calcaneal Fractures
As previously mentioned, calcaneal fractures can be very difficult to manage. Closed reduction is a term used when doctors can manipulate the fracture under anesthesia without surgery. Closed reduction can be successful in treating calcaneal fractures in many cases based upon the stage of fracture. Open reduction (surgical reduction of the fracture) is not guaranteed to produce more successful outcomes. Calcaneal fractures can range from simple to be able to explosive. Follow-up following reduction (whether close or open) may differ but will include a period of non-weight bearing, splinting or sending your line to allow for fracture healing.
- Severe cases of joint depression fractures (Rowe type 4 and additional surgery may be required to fuse the subtalar joint.
- If your subtalar joint is significantly damaged in the injury, blend of the stj is the only solution.
- Most doctors will stage these types of treatments, performing a subtalar fusion long after the immediate trauma of the injury.
- Treatment of calcaneal stress fractures varies with the severity of the break and also the degree of pain.
- Numerous cases of calcaneal stress fractures are simply treated with rest and a decrease of activity.
- Others may necessitate a walking cast or period of non-weight bearing.
- Surgical intervention is rarely indicated.
- Healing of calcaneal stress bony injury can be prolonged and may require a period of several months to be able to heal.
Calcaneus - The particular bone from the heel.
Arthritic diets and natural healing There is a great deal of debate in the medical world about the effects of overall diet on arthritis and using diet toward alleviating the condition. Physicians have known for a long time that diet affects gout, a specific type of arthritic...
- Subtalar Joint - (STJ) the joint between the two major bones of the rearfoot, the talus and calcaneus.
- The STJ is a common site of residual osteoarthritis following calcaneal fractures.
- Technitium - a radioactive substance that is attracted to area of inflamation.
- Used as the active substance in bone tests.
- Anatomy: The calcaneus is very firm upon its' outer surface but soft and spongy on the inside, similar to a great egg.
- It is really an unusually shaped bone with numerous surfaces making in the support for the subtalar joint and the calcaneal cuboid joint.
The biomechanics of calcaneal stress fractures has not been defined. Due to the fact that most calcaneal stress fractures happen due to a random traumatic incident, no defined pathway for that fractures has been set up. Symptoms: The diagnosis of a calcaneal stress fracture is usually based on pain in which continues following an incident of trauma. Occasionally a calcaneal stress break will have a good insidious onset, but most with have an acute onset. Edema (swelling) and erythema redness) may or may not be present.
The most common symptom of a calcaneal stress fracture, and the one symptom that can help in order to differentiate stress fractures from fasciitis, is the nature of the pain. Stress fracture pain is constant. It hurts when you weight is first applied and continues in order to hurt. Pain due to plantar fasciitis is sharp at the start of weight bearing but soon subsides, in order to a qualification, above 5-10 minutes.
The Location of Pain is Also Important
Stress fracture pain will generally (and not always) be in the body of the calcaneus. Pressure to the medial and lateral walls of the calcaneus result in pain. Plantar fascial pain is specific to the bottom of the heel and is moderate with direct pressure, but sever with weight bearing.
Differential Diagnosis:
Baxter's nerve entrapment - a good entrapment of the recurrent branch of the posterior tibial nerve.
Gout - deposition of monosodium urate crystals (hyperuricemia)
Heel Spur Syndrome - See Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis - a common condition of the heel that results in pulling from the plantar fascia and a tearing pain at the attachment of the fascia on the bottom of the heel. Pain is serious with the first few steps out of bed in the morning or after a brief period of rest.
Retrocalcaneal bursitis (Albert's Disease) - this really is the formation and swelling of a bursa at the rear of the heel between the heel bone and Achilles tendon
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatic Fever.
Septic Arthritis

A kitchen inside the house is a must. But a kitchen outside can also mean family barbecues or a fun evening with friends. Given here are eleven designs for an outdoor kitchen. Have a look—cooking will never be the same again!
The ideal outdoor kitchen should not only have the provision of cooking but also space to sit down and enjoy a meal. Here we see a long counter that allows multiple people to sit and eat. You could use bar-stools for an elevated seating arrangement.
A classic stone benchtop with modern built-in storage cupboards are a match made in heaven. Add some matching floor tiles and you have a stylish open kitchen on your hands. Take a cue from this kitchen rendered by the architects at Arqca.
Stone need not be the first choice every time, cement can look equally good.Sometimes, monochrome colours make a kitchen look big and spacious.
A kitchen built with bricks makes it look very rustic and attractive. Here, we can see that the bricks have a light colour that goes very well with the polished stone benchtop and the timber above.
This is a prime example of proper utilisation of space. The idea of colourful tiles goes very well with the staid red bricks. A store-bought furnace or grill can be installed into the brick wall to make it a functional outdoor kitchen unit.
Grey walls and white bench top give you a wonderful canvas to explore colours and shapes with. Here, we see a stunning mix of coloured mosaic tiles that highlight the chairs and makes the kitchen look lively and cheery. To top it all, the pergola with translucent glass allows ample sunlight to filter through.
A kitchen without a splash back is like a bedroom without a bed. Yes, an oven is a necessity but so is the splash back to prevent those ugly stains on your walls.
It is imperative to know, before you start building your kitchen, what you want to use it for. You could have a barbeque fitted in, a simple stove, an oven or a furnace. Remember, however, to always have a sink nearby.
Dying to have a balcony kitchen but worried about space?Here is a super elegant little design to suit your style.
Outdoor furniture is also vital for a smart finish. Even if the kitchen is a plain one, embellish it with a gorgeous table and a table-top umbrella, to give your terrace kitchen that added zing.
Here is a classic example of natural bricks and stone kitchen that will last you for ages. The polished chimney over the stove, the splash back made of stone and terracotta tiles make it a beautiful kitchen too.Step in to ever more creative spaces with our next story - 10 Rustic and stylish kitchens to inspire you

Colors of the Wind
I've missed you all. I've had a 4 month sabbatical from blogging and I am happy to be back. For the first half I was smitten as hell with a guy I thought was normal and available, only to find that he was out of state and country, for about half that time. Running from what I believe was himself and adulting – you know, … Continue reading Colors of the Wind

Valentino Garavani and Diane von Furstenberg have paid tribute to French designer Emanuel Ungaro following his death.
The fashion star, who founded his eponymous couture house in 1965 and retired from it in 2004, died in Paris, France at the age of 86 on Saturday. A number of his fellow designers subsequently paid tribute, with Garavani describing him as a "great and generous friend" to WWD.
"Always with a smile and with a kindness very rare in this fashion world. His colours, his draping and the fantasy he put in every dress, deserve a very important place in the history of fashion," he praised.
Von Furstenberg told the publication Ungaro's death was "a very sad thing" and added, "Ungaro reminds me of my youth…of happy, sexy printed dresses," while Alber Elbaz said he "knew him, adored him and loved him".
Milliner Stephen Jones paid tribute via Instagram by sharing a photo of one of their collaborations and writing in the caption, "So sad to hear of the passing of the magnificent #emanuelungaro @emanuelungaroparis. To work with him was extraordinary."
Model Marisa Berenson shared a throwback image of Ungaro fitting her in a dress and described him as a "beautiful, refined and generous man".
"He was one of the greatest designers of his generation and will go down in fashion history," she continued. "Thank you dear Emanuel for having been the friend that you were, you are in my thoughts and in my heart."
Ungaro, who was born in Aix-en-Provence, France, in 1933, got his start in fashion by working as an assistant to a Sicilian tailor. He then spent six years learning from legendary Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga before creating his own fashion house in Paris.
He quickly became a success with his feminine designs, colourful draping, and bold prints, with one of his first clients being former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Notable creative directors of the Emanuel Ungaro brand have included Giambattista Valli, Peter Dundas, Giles Deacon, and Fausto Puglisi.
Ungaro is survived by his wife, Laura, and a daughter, Cosima.

Mobile and Analytics Technology Tracks How Mobile Apps are Used
By Susan Smith
A new mobile location analytics platform has been formed from the partnership of Appcelerator, a platform for developing native mobile, desktop and iPad applications using web technologies and FortiusOne, a location analysis software provider. The resulting Titanium+Geo platform makes it possible for enterprises, marketers and retailers to better understand where, when and how mobile applications are being used. According to press materials, business decision makers can now dynamically measure the impact of location-enabled mobile applications and social media on their company's bottom line.
"This partnership unites two leading technologies from the mobile and analytics markets," said Frank Moyer, CEO, FortiusOne. "It leverages GeoIQ, used by US intelligence agencies, to create the first enterprise-grade mobile analytics solution. By partnering with Appcelerator, we have solved a problem many enterprises face with mobile technology - understanding where, when and how mobile applications are being used."
Appcelerator's Titanium+Geo is built on the core location analytics driving FortiusOne's GeoIQ platform and extends its capability to capture, analyze and visualize real-time data from mobile devices and social media services. This complete data management, visualization, and analysis platform enables intuitive exploration, sharing and collaboration around geo-tagged data.
The technology from FortiusOne makes it possible for developers to write mobile apps in regular programming languages and deploy them across multiple platforms such as Android, iPhone, Symbion, Blackberry, etc.
FortiusOne co-founder Sean Gorman said that the platform was built in response to users who want to put geolocation capabilities and LBS capabilities into their mobile apps. "Just below 50% planned on using location based services in the apps that they're developing – from a survey of 70,000 developers," said Gorman. "They wanted to get better analytics around how the mobile apps are being used and specifically how location is being used."
A big problem for developers is showing their customers the ROI for building the applications they build. "Who is using it, how they are using it, where using it, what kind of brand recognition, ROI is created through that mobile app?" queried Gorman.
Metrics as well as visualization tools would help these developers show ROI. That's where Appcelerator Titanium+Geo comes in – an application built on the GeoIQ platform to address those issues.
Developers wanted to know how when and where app being used, to measure location, app usage across their customers and then enable those developers and customers to make decisions about when to launch new products and enhance their products for new customers.
The developer community is seeing the intersection of two potential sources of data from their customers. This community has a lot of internal data being generated on coupons where mobile devices were being used, how they were being used, what functions were being called. They also found a lot of the developers' customers had databases on where their customers were located as well as where they were instituting a marketing program.
Information collection included Twitter activity by keywords, demographics, and competitive information. Appcelerator wanted to be able to use that to get better data and statistics metrics around running promotions, selling advertising, opening new locations within the variety of customers that their developers were building out for.
"We integrated our location based analytic platform GeoIQ and integrated that into Titanium, which is the name of Appcelerator's development platform to create Titanium+Geo to go through and fuse these things together and provide metrics their customers were looking for," said Gorman. "On our end that was a lot of fusing of internal and external data – how we operate within the ecosystem of data. Within the enterprise, Appcelerator has a lot of valuable data in large amounts behind their firewalls sitting within their existing ERP, CRM and BI systems and related data, and external through the organization."
More and more data is being geoenabled and made available to enterprises but often enterprises have a hard time understanding that information and seeing how they make it operational to their day-to-day needs.
Information such as sensor data, data coming from the web, geoenabled social media services as well as institutional data for traditional indicators like demographics, economic, political information, environment, weather, climate -- all coming from the public domain and GeoIQ working as the platform to connect into these various data feeds, index them, and make them discoverable so they can be remixed and repurposed and overlaid. Appcelerator Titanium+Geo and mobile device data are the critical components, but also customer relationship management data, information from mobile devices, mentions on Twitters, entries from FourSquare, Census demographic information, latest data releases, and the 45,000 data sets in the FortiusOne GeoCommons data marketplace can be fused together to get better insight on metrics that are important to the customer driving the enterprise.
When a user creates a mobile app within Appcelerator Titanium+Geo, all the apps that are already in there will get dashboards automatically generated for them for all the LBS data they have already. "Any new apps that get created, as soon as you create that app if the data that the app is generating has a location component to it. It will automatically fire up a dashboard and start tracking the key metrics to use to look at those apps," said Gorman.
A sample scenario was created for the sake of a demo of a mythical corporation named Pizzaland with 14 pizza locations. This business in the San Francisco Bay Area recently started participating in a mobile couponing service. They want to be able to see where those mobile coupons are being serviced, where redeemed, what kind of ROI they're getting for investing in building this app for investing into a mobile service and then bringing in some additional information that used in context
The scenario shows activity before 7 a.m. - people looking for coupons before work; for lunchtime, you can see a lot of activity in the suburbs outside the city and then it starts to pick up inside the city as they start to go into the city for lunch. The screen shows dots where people look for lunch deals and stays pretty active. Then around the dinner hour, dots start to spread back out to the suburbs as people go back home to get dinner, and some people stay in the city as well. See Pizzaland Mobile Analysis here
Top News of the Week
The United States GIS Data Repository (USGDR), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to "Making Public Data Public", has partnered with TractBuilder to provide Central Appraisal Districts and certain other county-level GIS programs free licenses of the TractBuilder Tools for ArcGIS, a set of tools counties can use to map polygons and lines according to legal descriptions.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation added a new mapping feature to its website to better explain the updated Transportation Improvement Program.
