Spectre is the new 007 movie and they recorded a sequence at Mexico City. I'm glad they went for the Day of the Dead scenario because I think Mexico is the only country that celebrates death like this.
Mexico has a lot of history and holidays but the Day of the Dead is quite interesting! Even for me, a girl who is scared of peals of thunder!
The Day of the Dead is a big colorful party to welcome back the dearest ones who went ahead of us. You offer them their favorite food, drinks and light a candle for them so they know the way home.
On town squares, there's a big altar as a tribute for famous people and most of the people go dressed like bodies or catrinas (Catrina is a female representation for death). And there's a lot of sales of chocolates and candies with skull shape.
I'm glad Spectre captured this iconic mexican holiday. Can't wait to see it on the screen!

Glass pennies?! Lost glass penny rediscovered
During World War II, the United States government was looking for ways to reduce the copper content of pennies, in order to make more copper available for the war effort. Copper was a rationed item, and in 1942, the War Production Board refused to allocate any copper to the US Mint for penny production for 1943.
That sent the US Mint looking for potential substitute materials. The Mint conducted its own experiments with metals and alloys, but also invited private companies to submit prospective replacements for the copper penny made from plastics and alternative materials. As part of the invitation, the Mint loaned specially crafted dies that were to be used by participating companies to produce the samples. The sample dies contained an impression of Liberty and the date for the obverse side, and a wreath with the words "United States Mint" on the reverse side.
The Blue Ridge Glass Company acquired a set of the dies and produced a very limited number of glass samples, using penny-sized tempered blanks created by Corning. The experiment didn't work very well. To make a glass penny, both the die and the blank had to be heated to just below the melting point of glass. They weren't able to heat the die properly, and they were only able to achieve soft detail on the glass blanks. In addition, the resulting glass "pennies" had a large number of surface imperfections.
The Blue Ridge Glass Company prepared a report for the US Mint, and that was the end of the glass penny. Only one known example of a glass penny existed, and it was broken in half. Recently, a second example, which is intact, was discovered and graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service. The intact example, which is owned by a private collector, is a virtually identical match to the known, broken coin.
Even without its obvious production flaws, the glass penny likely never would have made it to the production stage. The dimensions and weight of each penny could not be standardized, meaning that each penny would have been slightly different – a violation of the US Mint's uniformity standards.

Dated: 15/07/2015
Award-winning Passivhaus firm Green Building Store has strongly criticised the recent Government decision to scrap the Zero Carbon Homes target, which was announced last Friday. Green Building Store is echoing criticisms that have been expressed by many in the industry, including the UK Green Building Council and Energy Saving Trust. The Bolster Moor based company is writing to its Colne Valley constituency MP Jason McCartney to express its strong concerns about the move.
Green Building Store Director, Chris Herring said:
"For nearly 10 years the construction industry has been gearing towards the Zero Carbon target. Although it had been watered down a few times, at least it was giving the industry something to work towards and was helping the industry prepare for the forthcoming EU's Near Zero Energy Buildings target coming into effect in 2021.
Buildings account for 50% of total CO2 emissions in the UK: making them as energy efficient as possible is one of the most cost effective ways we have of reducing emissions. So, with the Paris UN climate summit only a few months away, and increasingly dire warnings from leading scientists on the risks posed by climate change, it is reckless to drop the Zero Carbon target at this time.
It is also very bad for business and particularly for forward looking, innovative green businesses like ours, which must play a key role in creating the vibrant UK economy of the future. In the interest of business in the UK, and of future generations who will need to deal with the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change, we would ask the Government to reconsider this retrograde step."
Green Building Store is working with national bodies to lobby the Government for radical and urgent action on energy efficiency and low energy building.
On Friday 10 July 2015, the Government announced that it "does not intend to proceed with the zero carbon Allowable Solutions offsetting scheme, or the proposed 2016 increase in on-site energy efficiency standards".as part of a Government report, 'Fixing the foundations: Creating a more prosperous nation'
We have also signed (along with over 200 other companies and UK Green Building Council members) an open letter to the Chancellor calling for him to reconsider the decision.

AIA Compensation Report3 February 2014
The American Institute of Architects has released its 2013 Compensation Report.
A snapshot account is available on the AIA website, and The Architect has useful coverage of the results, complete with lots of graphs. The full report for 2013 is available for purchase online along with a regional report and report comparing compensation by metro area.
While this is obviously of limited immediate relevance to the Australian industry, it is interesting to see the general American trends, and the Compensation Report provides a good counterpart to the ACA's own recently inaugurated Salary Survey.

KOUNTZE, Tex. — The hand-painted red banner created by high school cheerleaders here for Friday night's football game against Woodville was finished days ago. It contains a passage from the Bible — Hebrews 12:1 — that reads: "And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
That banner, and other religious-themed signs made by the high school and middle school cheerleading squads in recent weeks, have embroiled this East Texas town in a heated debate over God, football and cheerleaders' rights.
School district officials ordered the cheerleaders to stop putting Bible verses on the banners, because they believed doing so violated the law on religious expression at public school events. In response, a group of 15 cheerleaders and their parents sued the Kountze Independent School District and its superintendent, Kevin Weldon, claiming that prohibiting the students from writing Christian banner messages violated their religious liberties and free-speech rights.
On Thursday afternoon, the two sides met in a courtroom on the second floor of the Hardin County Courthouse. It had all the trappings of a high-profile courtroom drama: Lawyers from both sides haggled over the Texas Constitution and the cheerleaders' own constitution, a police officer with an assault rifle and binoculars was stationed on the roof, reporters filled the jury box, and one witness — Kieara Moffett, an 11th grade cheerleader — teared up on the stand during cross-examination.
The superintendent's decision has outraged many students and their parents, and has brought national attention upon a small town about two hours outside Houston. The cheerleaders' supporters have put up lawn signs and started a Facebook page called Support Kountze Kids Faith that, with nearly 50,000 members, far exceeds the town's population of 2,100.
The Texas attorney general, Greg Abbott, offered to defend the cheerleaders' First Amendment rights and wrote a letter to the superintendent saying that the decision to ban the religious messages was based on erroneous legal advice. Representatives of the newly formed Concerned East Texans for Separation of Church and State have taken action as well, delivering a gift basket to the district's central office that included coffee, chocolates and a thank-you card.Continue reading the main story
Each side's lawyers cast their clients as courageous: The teenage cheerleaders, for standing up to the school district to protect their religious views, and Mr. Weldon, himself a Christian and a former football coach, for taking an unpopular position in a largely conservative Christian town in order to, as he sees it, uphold the law.
After a daylong hearing that included the testimony of two cheerleaders, District Judge Steven Thomas of Hardin County decided to extend for an additional 14 days more a temporary restraining order that he had put in place two weeks ago. The move prevents district officials from enforcing the ban on religious signs for 14 days and allows the cheerleaders to continue to create and display the banners at the home game on Friday night as well as other coming games. It seemed likely that the judge would hold another hearing in two weeks.
"I feel like it's getting God's word out to those that need it," Kieara, 16, said of the banners.
At summer cheer camp, Kieara and other cheerleaders decided to inscribe religious messages on run-through banners — the 30-foot-wide, 10-foot-high paper signs that football players burst through as they enter the field. Rather than the typical slogans reading "Scalp the Indians" or "Pluck the Eagles" that they considered too negative, they came up with what they felt were more inspiring phrases. The first one read: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
After one game in mid-September, school district officials decided to prohibit the cheerleaders from writing the messages, and an administrator announced the decision over the high school intercom on Sept. 18. Mr. Weldon, the superintendent, said his decision was in response to a letter he received from the Freedom From Religion Foundation calling the banners unconstitutional. The Wisconsin-based group, which is made up of atheists and agnostics, has been active in Texas, unsuccessfully suing Gov. Rick Perry in federal court last year over his involvement in a Christian-centered prayer rally at a Houston stadium.
Judge Thomas issued the first temporary restraining order on Sept. 20, and called the hearing on Thursday to determine whether to turn that order into a more extensive temporary injunction. At the end of the hearing, he postponed ruling on a temporary injunction, saying that he needed more time and additional information from both sides.
In the morning, the hearing was delayed for hours as the two sides attempted, but ultimately failed, to reach a settlement.
Mr. Weldon and school district lawyers said his decision to prohibit the messages was based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a Texas case, Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, which established that prayers led by students at high school football games were unconstitutional and had the improper effect of coercing those in the audience to take part in an act of religious worship.
While testifying on Thursday, Mr. Weldon — he and school board members had been subpoenaed, though Judge Thomas later nullified those subpoenas — said two lawyers he contacted, a district lawyer and a lawyer for the Texas Association of School Boards, advised him to prohibit the students from writing Bible verses. But he said that he supported the cheerleaders and that, as a Christian, he agreed with their religious viewpoints.
"I commend them for what they're doing," Mr. Weldon testified.
Mr. Weldon and lawyers representing the district have said that they would like to allow the cheerleaders to put religious messages on the banners, but a declaration from the judge was needed to determine whether the district is required to restrict such banners. During his testimony, Mr. Weldon said that his decision to prohibit the cheerleaders from putting Bible verses on the signs violated the school's policies protecting students in expressing their religious viewpoints and discriminated against the cheerleaders.
One of the lawyers representing the students and their families, David Starnes, argued that the cheerleaders' Bible-themed banners were protected private speech, not government-sanctioned speech, and that the Supreme Court's ruling did not apply in this case because it had nothing to do with prayer. Cheerleading practice as well as banner-making occur after school on campus, and the squads are led by students, though adult advisers monitor and assist them. No school funds are used to purchase the banner supplies.
Asked what she would say to someone of another faith who might be offended by the banners, one of the 11th-grade cheerleaders, Rebekah Richardson, 17, replied, "They can be offended, because that's their right. But so far there hasn't been any opposition to what we're doing. Nothing but support."Continue reading the main story

Amistad Group Well being Heart2 min read
Neighborhood Health Center of the North Country (CHCNC) has sites located in St. Lawrence, Franklin and Jefferson Counties. By means of the program, which is able to use Inland Northwest Health Providers' TeleHealth communications system, a physician will prescribe a medication for a patient on the Othello hospital, Bettesworth says. Peter Shumlin today announced the results of a survey that ranked Vermont the third-greatest state for general baby effectively-being, noting that in one class – health indicators – Vermont leads the nation. Shumlin additionally thanked Lee Lauber, govt director of the Household Center, and the staff for their exhausting work on behalf of children in Washington County.
They originally planned to spend Monday evening at John Slack Parkin Racine, however Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller informed the marchersMonday evening they had to depart the site. Joe Stanley, a retired miner from Mingo County taking part inthe march, said the director of Slack Park apparently 'exceeded hisauthority' in originally agreeing to let the marchers stay there.
Lawrence pierce Gazette photograph The marchers stopped for lunchalong Hall G in Boone County on Tuesday throughout their weeklongmarch toward Blair Mountain. Phrases cannot categorical how blessed we feel to have had the most committed caring workers on the Central Wisconsin Middle whose gracious hearts and tender palms provided such loving care for our DeAnn.
We're not a authorities clinic, part of the well being division, a hospital, or a county clinic, however a personal group staffed by unbelievable people with a ardour to serve their group. The nation's 1,200 federally certified group health centers would be hit laborious by a potential U.S. Supreme Court docket ruling this month eliminating premium subsidies for federal trade-plan enrollees.
Hawkins estimated that community well being facilities nationally are serving practically 1 million sufferers coated by plans bought by way of the federal exchanges. The clinics' lack of income from privately insured patients would come on high of a decline in state funding for the centers over the past few years. In accordance with the NACHC, annual health center funding per uninsured patient was $344 in 2012, compared with a per-patient cost of $687. The number of CHCs has grown from 730 in 2000 to about 1,300; those facilities function more than 9,000 websites all through the nation.

Beaufort News
Graves House can be torn down, board says
The nearly 100-year-old Graves House in old town Bluffton can be torn down, a town board decided Wednesday.
On a 5-2 vote, the Historic Preservation Commission agreed with developers who argued the building at 85 Calhoun St. was structurally unsound and could not be saved.
The vote removes a key hurdle for Bluffton United Methodist Church, which plans to buy the property, raze the home and erect a replica in its place, said William Court of Court Atkins Architects, which has been hired by the church.
"To the best of my knowledge, we have met the contingencies of the sale to the church, so the sale should move forward," he said. The new building would be used for church offices and outreach space.
Rather than simply tear down the house, which is a "contributing structure" in the old town Historic District, Court agreed to "sympathetically dismantle" it and reuse as much as possible in the new design. He also agreed not to tear down the home until the church has a permit for the new building.
More than a dozen people, including many old town residents, urged the commission not to approve demolition, claiming the home had historical value and could be salvaged.
Town staff also recommended the commission deny the request for demolition, claiming structural reports submitted by the property's owners did not prove the home cannot be saved.
But attorney Roberts Vaux, hired by owners Michael Hahn and D. Bryan McClure Jr., cited the report from the structural engineers, a home inspector and a termite inspector, all of whom agreed the home was seriously damaged.
"I understand restoration," Vaux said, "but I also understand economics."
He estimated that only 20 to 35 percent of the home could be salvaged and that new construction would cost about half as much as the estimated $800,000 needed to revive the structure.
"The building is skin and bones," Commissioner Doug Corkern said. "When you take the skin ... off, you only have 20 percent of the bones left."
Court said the church likely will move forward with the new building "as soon as [they] possibly can."
In a second vote, the commission decided by a 6-1 vote to allow construction of a 1,200-square-foot addition to Seven Oaks, located at 82 Calhoun St.
The Church of the Cross wants to buy the property and convert it into a central office.
Thomas Viljac, who owns the 1850s-era home, declined to comment on the board's vote and what it might mean for the sale. The church has the property under contract.

The 17th and 18th centuries brought tremendous advances in science, thanks to the likes of Isaac Newton and many others. These advances brought changes not only in how we viewed the physical universe, but in how we defined rational thought. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that this time period is also known as the Age of Reason.
During this time, scientists developed a mechanical view of nature; that is, all effects have causes, and their relationships are understandable and quantifiable through theory and experimentation. Over time, this newly defined scientific method transitioned from the natural sciences into nearly all modern disciplines, including the social sciences, economics, and even in political theory. In fact, our country's governing principles are products of the Age of Reason. Years later, Friedrich Engels, not to be left out of this "thought" revolution, coined the term "scientific socialism" to apply to Karl Marx's socio-economic theory. It refers to using the scientific method for understanding and predicting socio-economic phenomena by studying historical data to predict outcomes and decide future developments.
In one way or another, liberal intelligentsia claim they operate under scientific socialism, although they tend to prefer the tonier "rational progressivism." Regardless of what it is called, all this theorizing, data collection, and social engineering requires enlightened experts acting as central planners. And since outcomes can't be left to individual choices, the heavy hand of government is needed to ensure compliance to the scientifically derived plan.
And that brings us to Ferguson, Missouri. We can't shake a déjà vu feeling when we watched the events there unfold. (Remember Rodney King? If so, you remember the riots as well.)
[RELATED on OCR: "Filling in the Blanks in Ferguson"]
Some of the worse riots occurred in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1965, when members of a black family were arrested for protesting the arrest of another family member. People began to loot, vandalize and clash with police. The rioting lasted six days, with over 30 people killed, 1,000 injured, and 3,500 arrested.
Members of a gubernatorial commission put forth a hypothesis that the causes of the LA riots were high unemployment, poor schools, and other inferior living conditions, including police brutality.
Nearly concurrently with the LA riots, President Johnson was pushing his Great Society programs that would fix poverty/riot cause and effect cycles, much as Keynesian economics claims to fix boom and bust cycles. Since then, liberal panel after liberal panel pushed for the same solution – more government programs.
[RELATED on OCR: "Our Coming Economic Collapse: The Boom and the Bust"]
To say there has been no improvement would be hyperbole. But according to the chattering class, it's still 1965. That's why today's talking heads are saying the causes of the Ferguson riots are … high unemployment, poor schools, and other inferior living conditions, including police brutality. Even President Obama restated these causes for the riots. The only thing he didn't blame was a YouTube video.
What the progressives of 1965 and 2014 have in common is their belief that more government engineering is needed to cure social ills. However, giving the earlier progressives the benefit of the doubt, what distinguishes the two groups is that the latter has nearly 50 years of experimentation with extensive data to show that government-centered social solutions are failures. The causes of the LA riots may have been correctly deduced, but the root cause of the Ferguson riots is 50 years of progressive programs that have destroyed the very people those programs claimed it would help. It's as if the Age of Reason never even existed.
The greatest contribution modern Liberalism has made is forcing us to see the inequalities in our society. But Liberalism's greatest failures are its solution sets; remember Midnight Basketball? It is not surprising that Marx spent hundreds of pages in Das Kapital criticizing capitalism, but only a few pages talking about how socialism would actually work. And Lenin viewed the details of running a country after the Russian revolution as "bookkeeping." It is in socialism's DNA to fail because of its conviction that central planning human behavior or a highway system differ in degree not in kind.
What progressives fail to understand is that socio-economics is not a deterministic science. It is more akin to modern chaos theory, where a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Kansas. In this respect, Adam Smith's invisible hands are a more accurate reflection of how efficient socio-economic systems actually work, i.e. locally, than Marx's centrally planned voodoo economics.
[RELATED on OCR: "Foundations of Economics: Every Man for Himself"]
Politics exploits weaknesses for political gain, particularly when causes and effects are fuzzy. We see this in global warming, which is a natural science. But the exploitation reaches its pinnacle in the social sciences, where cause and effect are generally more nebulous than in the natural sciences, allowing politicians and progressives to advance a fix via one government program after another. So the push for the same failed liberal social solutions has a medical analogy of curing fever by more bloodletting through leeches. If progressives were truly enlightened, they would use the past 50 years of observation, experimentation, and data collection to try something else.
It would be like Isaac Newton, after giving a lecture on his theory of gravity, after debunking past failed theories on planetary motion, having the following discussion with a colleague that has an investment in older failed theories:
Colleague: Professor Newton, your theory of gravity describing the earth's motion around the sun is wrong.
Newton: And what is your theory sir?
Colleague: It is well known the earth rests on the back of a giant turtle.
Newton: What does this turtle stand on?
Colleague: That's a good question; the first turtle stands on the back of a larger second turtle.
Newton: But what does this second turtle stand on?
Colleague: Why, Professor Newton, every child knows it's turtles all the way down.
Intellectually and scientifically speaking, progressives are stuck in the socio-economic dark ages; riding on the backs of turtles all the way down.

More pics of Mr. Man
Friday, May 15, 2009
Imagine my surprise to receive an email shortly after Isaac's birth from Gina offering a newborn session. I had your words ready to copy and paste, but I don't know if you would be opposed Gina, so I will just paraphrase that she was compelled to extend the offer due to the encouragement that she has found in my blog.
I think that as bloggers we all struggle from time to time with the why, not wanting it to totally be narcissism alone. And there's truth behind the community that is established, but as a Christian, who I think fails to truly utilize this forum, it was such a blessing to me to hear that my words and quiet faith are making an impact!
So in the end I feel like I'm making out like a bandit to be encouraged AND recieve the following photos and more {she just edited these last night after she left our house!}.

My home-productivity queen makes her triumphant comeback...
The one, the only, my wife and partner-in-crime, Nazach Snapp!
This week was Mommy's big comeback, her second appearance on The Make it Snappy Productivity Show! Our conversation was about Purpose. Do you know what it means to have purpose? How about vision?
Nazach Snapp is back by popular demand, after making her debut on Episode #1, we've decided to give her a regular spot, every month on The Make it Snappy Productivity Show to setup each month's topic!
"I'm being productive because I'm doing something that is mapping back to my PURPOSE" - Nazach Snapp
This month, it's all about PURPOSE.
We feel strongly that if purpose isn't driving our reason for being productive, then well, there's really no reason to be productive!
Do we have a vision for why we're doing all the things we do?
Do we have a purpose for why we're getting things done, or are we blindly checking things off our never-ending to-do list?
We're going to take that deep dive into great topics like family mission statements, personal vision, and my personal favorite:
What kinds of things do we do, that make us forget to eat and poop?
It was really good to have my beautiful wife, and her 8 month-pregnant self back in the studio. She was last on the show for Episode ONE and WOW!
That was 14 episodes ago!
I'm so PROUD of my oldest son, Carter, for doing such a great job on the intro, and Ethan too...for kicking butt on our little mid-show ad...my family's the BEST!
Baby #3 will be here in 8 WEEKS!
What are we gonna do?
We'll get productive with PURPOSE, that's what! No, we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, we decided to wait this time. It's the ONLY time we've waited and it's actually kinda cool not knowing.
We've been calling him or her BABY JITTERBUG...that was actually a name Ethan came up with, after listening to George Michael of Wham, not that we play that stuff around our house or anything (yikes).
Ask us a question about purpose!
Record your question and we'll broadcast it on our show the last week of the month! Just go to http://makeitsnappyshow.com/question or just do it right here below...(it only takes 30 seconds, seriously and we don't collect any personal info):
It's going to be a fabulous month, a purpose-driven experience.

Toby's had a cold over the weekend, and has had a really hard time getting to and staying asleep. His nose is a little blocked up, which means that he wakes frequently in the night, and when he does wake and find himself in his room, he gets really unhappy and won't settle down. Last night he would not relax at all so Emma took him to the spare room, where they slept for the night. It's the first time I've almost been angry with him – as soon as he was in the bed with her he was all smiles and it was just really exasperating. But it seems that he's not the only one having this issue – his friend Sam is being a bit pesky too.
lack of sleep
One Response to "lack of sleep"
[...] Toby's had some problems sleeping over the last week or so, or more correctly he's had problems getting back to sleep when he's woken in the night. It started when he had a cold and was sleeping in our bed – he'd wake every couple of hours and need to nurse to get back to sleep. However it's become a bit of a bad habit and a difficult one to break with the result that we've all been really tired. [...]

If you were able to deploy and debug just fine to your Android devices via USB before you upgraded to Windows 10, but now they just aren't showing up, then it's likely because of the way you are connecting them.
For no good reason that I have found so far, it seems like if you want to do USB debugging on Android devices in Windows 10 then you need to connected them as a Camera, yep that's right, or n protocol terms, PTP.
Thanks, Microsoft. Not.

Driving to Yew Tree Tarn in the dark promised little. However as I got close to Yewdale it was shrouded in mist and things started looking promising. Having parked at the tarn I made my way up Holme Fell in the dark to watch dawn.
And this was the view looking over a misty Little Langdale towards the Langdale Pikes. This area of lakeland is scarred with many old slate mines but the mist did a good job of hiding them.

Bronzer is perfect for me!
I have tried lots of bronzers. Some turned orange and other ones were way too dark. This one is just right. I have medium skin and tan in the summer. This bronzer looks awesome. I have even added a little to my foundation for summer and it is perfect. Never change it!

New plan for Bridgeport's old King Cole
BRIDGEPORT -- No one disagrees the city must redevelop the prime, '50s-era King Cole Supermarket location where Park Avenue and Pequonnock Street meet Route 1.
But critics wonder if the quirky near-downtown neighborhood could do better than the shopping plaza zoning officials approved last week, with generic tenants like the city's sixth McDonald's restaurant and a discount grocer.
"I don't really see it bringing anything new," said City Councilman Angel dePara, D-136, who represents the area.
Mayor Bill Finch, whose administration urged developer Richard Korris to make some improvements to landscaping and pedestrian access, is satisfied.
"We have an abandoned property right in the heart of the neighborhood. Something has to be done to clean it up and create jobs," Finch said. "I think we improved it slightly. It's not perfect, but what is?"
The property at 1700 Park Ave. housed the then-cutting edge King Cole from 1958 until 1976 when Walbaum's market moved in.
An A&P food store opened there in 1986, closing in 2010.
People's United Bank is the sole remaining tenant, but the site is mostly known for its vast, empty parking lot.
Last week the Zoning Commission approved Korris' $8 million proposal to demolish the old supermarket and replace it with a handful of newer buildings. New tenants will include a Save A Lot discount grocer, a McDonald's with a drive-through window and unnamed general merchandise and family clothing stores. People's will remain.
A large surface lot is planned, spotted with trees.
"(Korris) is taking an asphalt jungle and putting in a tremendous amount of landscaping," Ray Rizio, the developer's zoning attorney, said.
The greenery and replacement of the "obsolete" supermarket will rejuvenate the site, Rizio said.
A dozen people attended the zoning hearing to oppose the project or raise questions.
Some argued the plans were out of character with the ethnically diverse neighborhood's small Mexican restaurants and shops and similar mom-and-pop operations in a nearby "Little Asia."
"If you want to attract local business and encourage people to shop then McDonald's ... doesn't seem very emblematic," resident Jonathan Goddard testified. "The developers seem to feel there's nothing to tie into the area."
And Frank Borres, chairman of the Westside Neighborhood Redevelopment Zone, was also unimpressed.
He called 1700 Park Ave. a critical piece of the city's future.
"Seems like more of the same, just dressed up a little bit," he told zoning commissioners.
David Kooris, Finch's planning guru, said although it is a private project the city successfully urged the developer to increase the plantings and ensure easy pedestrian access to the shopping plaza from the neighborhood.
"(That) is not typical for a strip mall," he said.
Kooris said he understands the criticism of the new 1700 Park Ave. tenants, but often banks will only finance new construction with reliable businesses.
"I'm not saying I'm necessarily a fan of the fact banks rely on certainty or track record over what may or may not be more interesting, but that's the reality," Kooris said.
DePara said he is glad the property will be occupied.
"I'm skeptical but not writing it off completely," he said.

When the U.S. Air Force canceled a little-known airship program, veterans of aerospace development saw it as just another case of a service desperately seeking budget savings. But officials of the small contractor and some observers see something more disturbing—a prejudice against new ways of collecting intelligence and a pre-emptive strike to protect conventional programs.
The U.S. Air Force's move to quash a small company's ambitions to build a big intelligence-collecting airship has sparked a battle of words between the service and its prime contractor. Officials at would-be airship builder Mav6 say the service was always a "hostile customer," angling to burst the company's balloon because the airship's capabilities threatened too many existing programs by demonstrating a new, radical way of collecting intelligence.
The original concept was to field within 18 months of the contract award a 370-ft.-long airship capable of staying aloft at 20,000 ft. for up to five days. The airship was meant to be ready to carry a 2,500-lb. intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) payload.
The goal was to park the airship over Afghanistan to collect a variety of imagery and signals intelligence data. USAF Lt. Gen. (ret.) David Deptula, who championed the Blue Devil II concept when he was the Air Force's deputy chief of staff for ISR in 2010, now serves as CEO of Mav6 where he finds himself defending the project to USAF in light of several test failures.
After months of scaling back the work scope of the Blue Devil II airship project, the Air Force recently informed Mav6 that it was to "deflate and crate" the craft in accordance with a stop-work order owing to poor contract performance. Originally slated for deployment to Afghanistan in February, the company has yet to execute the first flight of the platform. As the Pentagon struggles to produce savings demanded by Congress, programs that are lagging are especially vulnerable.
"If you're running up the bill by a few percent a year, we cannot sustain" a project, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said May 30. Programs that are performing as planned are "going to deliver more combat capability per dollar than the ones that aren't." Deptula, however, says the Air Force chose an arbitrary date to stop funding before first flight can take place. The service declined official comment, but one Air Force source says the company has been promising for months that first flight will take place "in a couple of weeks."
Company officials acknowledge that the program is 12% over its original estimate of $145 million and that they encountered unanticipated problems designing the massive airship's tailfins and complex control software for the optionally manned craft. Eagle Aviation has had trouble designing the 40 X 30-ft. tailfins to withstand 80-mph winds without splintering. Likewise, designing control software has proved to be far more complex than originally planned. Rockwell Collins was scheduled to deliver the software meant for operation with an onboard pilot in early June, but has yet to tackle the unmanned operating requirements as originally planned.
Despite the setbacks, an industry official says that the eight-month delay and cost overrun for Blue Devil pales in comparison to those of programs such as the Joint Strike Fighter and Global Hawk. It is "disingenuous" for the Air Force to cut funding before first flight of the platform, which is now expected no later than Aug. 31, says Jay Harrison, co-founder of Mav6. About $3 million would be needed to continue funding the program through to its first flight, company officials say. The cost of dismantling and storing the airship, which is at the company's Elizabeth City, N.C., facility, is $2.6 million, they add.
Mav6 executives are talking with the Navy and Special Operations Command in hopes of finding the funding to reach first flight. Company representatives believe that the Air Force's claims of poor performance are designed to bias the minds of potential sponsors. It would be an "embarrassment" if another agency took over the project and found success, Harrison says. The Navy recently reviewed the program and offered positive feedback on its progress, an industry official says.
The project had an inauspicious beginning. It was conceived by the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization in early 2010. In November 2010, the Pentagon began a four-month transition to oversight by the Air Force, which selected its Big Safari program office—known for rapidly delivering classified technologies to the field—to handle the endeavor. Big Safari officials on numerous occasions deemed the project untenable, according to a USAF official. Big Safari put the company in the position of fighting an uphill battle, Harrison says. Owing to the delay of disbursements, the company paid its subcontractors on its own multiple times.
The Air Force added some requirements—including FAA certification—after the contract was issued. This prompted a need for more rigidity in building certain parts, the industry source says. Since the project was designed as a demonstration system to be deployed to Afghanistan, says this official, FAA certification was unnecessary.
The original payload requirement also went from 2,500 lb. to roughly 6,500 lb., company officials point out.
Blue Devil II was one of multiple airship efforts that recently garnered interest—and money—from senior Pentagon officials hoping to improve intelligence-collection efforts in the permissive airspace over Afghanistan. The Pentagon's infatuation was largely owing to the vision of parking an airship over an area to collect intelligence for a day or more with little manpower or operational expense. Also, the Pentagon was flush with funding, so the Defense Department was willing to experiment with concepts. Carter notes that the Pentagon must reconcile its plans for the ISR force of the future. "We put together quick programs under the pressure of combat," he said May 30, referring to a bevy of small but crucial fleets designed and deployed for niche missions in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "They do pose a managerial issue for us after the war."
Mav6's endeavor was seen as running a horse race against the Army-led Long-Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) being built by Northrop Grumman. That project is also late and over budget and has yet to prove itself with a first flight, but it enjoys solid Army support. Perhaps this is because it has a cooperative customer, says the industry official. Army officials decline to outline when LEMV milestones will be met.
Blue Devil II was slated to carry the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, a version of which is optimized for use in Afghanistan on the Predator unmanned aircraft. USAF also planned to put two separate Axsys video balls on the airship for high-definition video feeds. The "Pennant Race" signals intelligence collector, an upgraded version of what now flies on the Reaper, was also considered for Blue Devil II, according to Air Force sources.
However, the Air Force recently sent a message to Capitol Hill stating in part: "Neither airship completion, nor first flight is possible within the remaining contract period of performance which ends 30 June 2012." There is no funding request for Blue Devil II in fiscal 2013.
Harrison says that the Blue Devil II termination is not a death blow to his company, but the industry source notes it would be a major loss.
Blue Devil II was the second phase of a two-phase effort. The original system, Blue Devil I, has been flying in Afghanistan and includes a wide-area camera and signals intelligence-collection capability, optimized to track individuals on the ground, mounted on a King Air 90. SAIC is the prime contractor.

When it comes to partnering with a professional-grade natural gas supplier, you now have a better choice and a true energy advocate.
Are you a commercial natural gas user? When you run a business, even slight fluctuations in the price of natural gas can have an impact on your bottom line. While natural gas is mostly produced domestically and is less subject to temperamental peaks and valleys, the market still changes every day.
Choosing a reliable commercial gas supply company that can help you keep your energy costs under control will have a positive impact on your organization's bottom line.
Shipley Energy's fixed rate commercial natural gas pricing provides you with an additional measure of certainty and protection against seasonal spikes. This means you can more accurately assess and budget for your fuel supply needs — you'll never have to pass up an opportunity for growth or profit due to high overhead.
Shipley Energy supplies natural gas to customers served by the following Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio utilities:
The deregulation of commercial natural gas can help you save on your energy costs. Whereas the rate your business paid per unit of fuel used to be dependent on market pricing, deregulation has opened up competition to a number of different gas suppliers. Your utility company will continue to provide delivery and maintenance of the grid. Your gas provider simply determines the rate at which you're charged for the fuel you use.
Choose Shipley Energy and get greater price predictability, more flexible pricing programs, and lower energy costs over the long term. At Shipley Energy, we offer your business affordable, predictable rates that shield you from the wild fluctuations of energy prices.
If you're considering converting to natural gas from propane or heating oil, there are plenty of good reasons to do so. Natural gas is by far the most cost-effective way of heating your property. Compared to other fossil fuels, its cost per unit is low, due in a large part to the fact that it's so abundant throughout the United States.
In fact, with newly developed drilling technologies allowing companies to economically extract in locations like PA's Marcellus Shale, our current domestic gas reserves are expected to meet our fuel needs for the next 100 years or longer.
Natural gas is also clean-burning and requires less energy to transport. Choosing it over more carbon-heavy fuels, such as coal, sends a clear message to your customers that you are committed to doing the right thing for the environment.
Whatever your reasons are for making the switch, Shipley Energy can help you convert your facility to environmentally friendly, affordable natural gas. Find out more by speaking with a commercial energy advisor today.
At Shipley Energy, we do things differently than most natural gas suppliers. We work with you to analyze your company's energy needs to develop a plan that meets your short and long-term goals. With your bottom line always in mind, Shipley consistently monitors the markets for weakness opportunities to provide you with reliable recommendations as to whether you should lock-in a fixed rate or ride variable.
For more complex buyers, we have other offerings such as: Cap and Floors plans, Weather Derivatives, and Basis-only. Our personalized, consultative approach is what separates us from the rest.
As you can see, when it comes to natural gas, commercial organizations have much to consider. The knowledgeable energy professionals at Shipley Energy can help you explore all your options so you can make the best decision for your company. Give us a call today and ask to speak to one of our energy experts.

My mothers day card has inspired me to get on with sorting out my downstairs loo, all to be revealed in a future blog.
Reports back from The Sketch restaurant from Tom my youngest son were very good, well worth a visit if you are in London and like the unusual.
Flu still seems to be lurking in our house, energy is not something we seem to have much of even after three weeks! Annoying, very very annoying.
Progression with new camera is slow, forgive me if some photo's are not quite up to scratch, the hardest thing I find at the moment is looking a bit odd taking pictures of all and sundry in public places, I shall just have to get over it for the sake of some improvement. To get good pictures you really do have to make some very odd positions with your body, crouching on the floor of a coffee shop to get a good picture of a cake doesn't do much for your street cred with your son I've discovered!

Friends of Music will present the Peggo Horstmann Hodes Jazz Quartet at the Northwoods Camp's Todaro Leadership Center, Tuftonboro on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 2 p.m.
In celebration of the Valentine's season, this highly entertaining group will perform "Peggo in Love — Jazz with a Happy Ending" featuring Hodes's beautiful soprano voice.
At intermission, Friends of Music will serve a special complimentary "High Tea" of dessert favorites and beverage. This will be a cabaret-style performance.
Hodes, a soprano singer of great stylistic range and power and a composer, holds masters' degrees in Elementary Education from Lesley College and Vocal Pedagogy from New England Conservatory. Currently chair of the Voice Department at Concord Community Music School in Concord, Hodes has been the soloist with the New Hampshire Symphony, the Granite State Symphony, the Concord Chorale and the Musicians of Wall Street. She has sung the soprano role of Messiah for many chorales in New England.
Most recently, with the Boston Civic Symphony, Hodes premiered "Symphony No. 4-War and Peace for soprano and orchestra," written by Thomas Oboe Lee. In recital, she has premiered works written for her by William Fletcher, and two song cycles by Thomas Oboe Lee.
In addition to her classical work, she also performs jazz love songs and has recorded nine CDs, three with "femme m'amie," a seven-woman a cappella ensemble, four folk CDs with "Peggo & Paul," and two family rock 'n roll CDs with Peggosus which won Parents' Choice Awards.
In addition, Hodes created and leads Vibrant Voice workshops in New Hampshire, Hawaii, Maine and New York. Her husband Paul, with whom she has collaborated in several musical ventures, is a U.S. Congressman representing New Hampshire.
The concert was originally scheduled to be at the Lakeview Inn in Wolfeboro but is now changed to the Todaro Center. The Todaro Center is located approximately 1.6 miles north of the Libby Museum just off Route 109, in about 1/8 mile on the left on Northwoods Road.
Tickets at $16 are available at Stay Tuned, Spencer-Hughes and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro, the Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith, online at www.wfriendsofmusic.org or by calling Friends of Music at 569-2151.
This concert is made possible in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

BE SMART: Always practice safety while burning your Lindbergh candles. To prevent fire and serious injury, burn candle within sight. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn on or near anything that can catch fire. Neither seller nor manufacturer are responsible for misuse. To burn: trim wick 1/4" before lighting. Keep wick centered and free of foreign objects. Never leave candle burning unattended. Do not burn more than 4 hours at a time. Discontinue use when 1/4" of wax is left.
TIPS ON BURNING YOUR LINDBERGH CANDLE: For best burning results, we recommend burning for 2-4 hours at a time to not only create a good melting pool but help your candle last longer. Do this by allowing the melted wax to reach the edges of the jar in order to prevent the wax from building up and "tunneling". Allow candle to cool completely before handling or re-lighting for your next burn. Soy wax is considered "memory wax" we recommend you let the initial burn of your new candle last at least an hour in order to create a proper melting pool diameter for future burns.
Simple DIY instructions to re-purpose your Lindbergh candle containers: REUSE CANDLE JARS by DWELL BEAUTIFUL.
Other ideas for re-purposing your Lindbergh jars and tins:
* Layer soil, rocks and moss to create a mini planter or provide a home for your favorite succulent.
* Use mason jars and storage for your studio, office or bathroom.
* Use tins to carry jewelry, hair accessories or other small items while traveling.
* Place tea lights in jars or tins for a candle holder. Wrap wire around the mouth of your mason jar to create a lantern.
* Iced coffee and delicious cocktails anyone?

Separately, Yahoo also announced a stock split, with each owner of Yahoo shares on record as of Jan. 22 to receive an additional share for every share they owned on that date.
In addition, Yahoo yesterday promoted current president and chief executive officer (CEO) Tim Koogle to the post of chairman and CEO, with chief operating officer Jeff Mallett taking over the president post.
In spite of the improved fourth-quarter and full-year results, investors yesterday pushed down Yahoo's stock price by $12.5, or just over 3 per cent, to $402 at the close of yesterday's trading.

10 Things About Serums Every Girl Should Know
We all use serums at one stage; let it be anti-aging, anti-freckles, acne treatment or skin whitening!
Many times we buy an expensive serum and end up with no result. We then blame the product but most of the time, it's not the product but our lack of knowledge. This is what happened to me various times that I spent a lot on serum and saw no results; so I started exploring about effective use of serums.
Here's my list of findings about serums and it's a great feeling to share it so others can save their money, time and effort!
1- Serums contain turbo-charged ingredients that can penetrate in the skin in a way that normal creams cannot do at all. So, if they're priced high, that has a point!
2- While looking for a good serum, never go for a colour or scent: Most of the best working serums are colourless and odourless liquids.
3- A good serum is absorbed quickly in the skin, i.e. in a few minutes and so leaves your skin dry. This is why serums always need a moisturizing partner like day or night cream which should be applied once the serum is dried on the skin.
4- A serum that is not absorbed quickly and leaves your skin greasy, is not a good serum for sure.
5- You never need a serum in high dosage; smaller is better. The ideal amount of serum for one time application on face should not exceed the drop equal to a pea. That's how you save money on serums.
6- Serum must always be applied on a clean (ideally exfoliated) and damp skin for effective absorption.
7- Pressing serum into skin with an open palm instead of fingertips actually release active ingredients in much better way.
8- Ideally you should apply tiny dots of serum all over your face and then blend lightly and quickly all over.
9- You must not stretch, pull or rub the skin after applying the serum.
10- If a serum gives a tingling sensation, don't worry; it can be a sign the active ingredients in the serum are getting to the dermis.
So, whenever you are going to buy a serum, make sure you take it as an investment and not an expenditure.
