Research Details
Determinants of Employment Externalization: The Case of Temporary Workers and Independent Contractors, Administrative Science Quarterly
This paper examines what determines the use of temporary workers and independent contractors in a variety of organizations. We hypothesize that four factors affect the use of externalized workers: employment costs, the external environment, organizational size and bureaucratization, and skill requirements. Data from a large sample of employers surveyed by the U.S. Department of Labor were used to test the hypotheses. Analyses showed that each factor affected the use of both temporary workers and independent contractors; however, the effects differed across the two types of workers. Firm-specific training, government oversight, bureaucratized employment practices, establishment size, and requirements for high levels of informational or technical skill had negative effects on organizations' use of temporary workers; variation in employment needs positively affected the use of temporary workers. Variation in employment needs, bureaucratized employment practices, establishment size, and being part of a multiple-site firm had positive effects on the use of independent contractors. We discuss the implications of these findings for the study of the employment relationship.

Growth Hacking 2013:
Hack to the future - Mindset or Skillset?
Everyone's talking about Growth Hacking. 2013 looks set to be the year that the term will enter the common language of start-ups, Innovation teams and the general technocrati. Silicon Valley is bursting with growth hacking stories and Craigslist is overflowing with job adverts for this new discipline.
Some of the most successful startups of all time have used growth hacking techniques to grow products up to millions, 10s of millions, and in some cases 100M+ users, including Facebook, Dropbox, Zynga, Twitter, Pinterest and Quora.
But who are Growth Hackers, where do they hail from and who's actually using them?
We've put together a panel of some of the leading Australian businesses who have already adopted this new (or not so new) practice for an interactive discussion. We will cover what it means to them, real life examples of how they are integrating the process into their businesses and what skills are needed to be part of this movement.

Put 'n' Take: a recreational fishery
Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG)
This "put and take" fishery offers an easy way for families and friends to experience Danish sea fishing in a safe and accessible
environment where, in addition, the catch is guaranteed.
This innovative activity has improved the area's tourist offers while creating a new market for local fish via a unique collaboration between a local aquarium, a fishmonger and local fishermen.
Part of the coast in this project has been closed off and continuously stocked with locally caught live fish, such as plaice, turbot and cod, for recreational fishing. The three different project partners – a tourist operator, local fishermen (who supply the live fish) and a fishmonger – have diversified their income by selling fishing tickets, fishing tackle and bait as well as refreshments and light snacks.
Amenities on the beach include a small cottage, tables, waste bins and benches where visitors can take shelter and rest. And, when catches are disappointing, families are still guaranteed fish on their table in the evening because if they don't catch anything they can still go to the local fishmonger and get one free plaice per angler.

The Ford Ranger, a compact pickup truck that Ford discontinued in the U.S. market in 2011 is making a comeback. After its discontinuation, Ford customers looking for something smaller than the F-150 were left with no choice but to opt for compact pickup trucks from other automakers. The 2019 Ford Ranger is, however, making a comeback but not as a compact pickup truck but as a mid-size model which Ford intends to use to compete with the Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier, GMC Canyon and Toyota Tacoma. In 2017, over 452,000 units in this segment were sold making Ford decide to bring back the Ranger to get a piece of the market. The model which Ford had officially confirmed last year made an official debut at this year's Detroit Auto Show.
2019 Ford Ranger Exterior
The new Ranger features a boxed ladder frame that has 6 crossmembers; although the frame looks identical to the one on the Ranger model sold overseas, the frame has been configured differently to suit the U.S. market demands. Atop the frame sits an almost fully steel body (the hood and tailgate are made of aluminum). Generally, the body features short overhangs which have helped improve its approach as well as departure angles. It also features steel bumpers with an option for an incorporated trailer hitch receiver to ease towing. Compared to the global Ranger, the U.S.-bound model looks more aerodynamic.
According to Ford, the new Ranger has been subjected to the same rigorous testing as the F-150 to prove its toughness.
The Ranger will be available in 8 exterior color options to choose from as well as a similar number of wheel designs available in 17-inch or 18-inch sizes. LED lighting for the headlights and taillights is optional. Other available options include cargo lighting, puddle lamps as well as the automaker's Smart Trailer Tow connector that notifies a driver when the trailer connection is disconnected or not working as it should.
The 2019 Ford Ranger will be offered in SuperCrew and SuperCab cab configurations and in three trim levels, base XL, mid XLT and the top Lariat trims. Two appearance packages i.e. "Chrome" and "Sport" will also be offered.
The cabin layout is good and Ford designers used quality materials and nice color finishes. The cabin of the new Ranger will accommodate five passengers. The model will also feature an 8.0-inch touch-screen as well as dual LCD displays for the driver. Ford's SYNC 3 is also available; it is supports Alexa-device connectivity as well as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto Smartphone apps. A navigation system is optional. A Wi-Fi hotspot that can support 10 devices is also optional. One can also opt for multiple USB ports, extra AC power outlets and a B&O PLAY sound system.
For safety, the truck features an array of advanced driver-assist systems such as Lane Keeping Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Reverse Sensing, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring with trailer coverage. These features are standard on the XLT and Lariat trims and optional on the XL trim. Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Assist that integrates Pedestrian Detection is standard on the Lariat trim and optional on the XLT trim.
There is also an option for an off-road package that offers the automaker's Terrain Management System. The system features four modes (normal, grass/snow/gravel, sand and mud/ruts) which the driver can switch between based on the terrain the vehicle is driving on. The system also allows the driver to alter transmission shift points and throttle response. A Trail Control system is also offered; it supports low-speed crawls of between 1- and 20mph by sending power or applying brakes on each wheel independently.
Engine and performance
Under the new Ranger's hood is a solitary powertrain; Ford has hooked up the model with its tried and tested 2.3 L, EcoBoost 4-cylinder mill. The engine mates to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. The 10-speed automatic gearbox is similar to the one on the F-150 but on the Ranger, it has a smaller case. The Ranger will be offered in both 2WD and 4WD.
The powertrain features a forged crankshaft as well as connecting rods to make the engine good enough for truck responsibilities. Ford is however still secretive about the power rating of the mill. Elsewhere in the Explorer, the same mill produces 280 hp while on the Mustang it produces 300 hp; using these numbers, a power output of about 300 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque would be a good guess for the mill in the new Ranger truck. Actual details on the engine's power output, performance as well as fuel economy will be released later on.
Price and release date
Although the model was unveiled this month at Detroit, we will have to wait until early next year to spot the new Ranger in U.S. dealerships. Information on pricing will be released later on when it nears it on-sale release date.
The 2019 Ford Ranger will go to war with the Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier, GMC Canyon and Toyota Tacoma.

The titular single off Matt Nathanson's upcoming album has been released, and I've wasted absolutely no time in listening to it. I do tend to get excited whenever Matt Nathanson releases something new, so this shouldn't be too much of a surprise for today if you've been around for a while. However, I can go on forever about that, so let's just launch into the review of his new track.
"Show Me Your Fangs" starts off beat heavy and vibrating with enough energy to get the listener grooving along by the time Nathanson's vocals start crooning in their ear. The song moves along at a steady pace, and pulls the listener into the music with ease. It switches gears suddenly, deviating from the beat heavy beginning into a bigger, high noted sound for the chorus. The blend works well for the song, drawing the listener in further. The balance is wonderful, and really adds to the overall effect of the song.
All in all, it's another great Matt Nathanson that stays in your head after it finishes playing. It really helps me to get excited for the upcoming album, and there's only a little over a month to go before the new album is released! Show Me your Fangs is presently set to be released on October 2.

Antique and vintage George Washington andirons
Antique and vintage George Washington andirons are andirons fashioned to resemble the first US president, George Washington (1732 – 1799). They are among the most collectible form of andiron.
Andirons are iron, steel, bronze or copper bars on which logs are placed above an open fireplace to aid burning and minimise smoke.
In the US they were first produced in the late 17th century.
They are generally used in pairs and those produced during and after the Italian renaissance can be highly decorative in nature.
Antique or vintage?
Items produced more than 100 years ago are classed as "antique" according to the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act's definition.
"Vintage" refers to pieces manufactured within the last 100 years and can include items made as recently as the 1980s.
How much are George Washington andirons worth?
George Washington andirons rarely achieve more than $1,000 at auction, although the best condition pieces, made by a collectible manufacturer can come close to that figure.
The least collectible items can sell for as little as $60.
Notable sales of antique and vintage George Washington andirons
A pair of cast iron, painted George Washington andirons, made in the US in the late 19th century, realised $800 at a Skinner auction in February 2007.
A pair of early 19th century US, sculpted George Washington andirons sold for $720 at Early American History Auctions in April 2004.

In Love in the 80s
Every decade has those couples: the celebrity pairings whose every move oozes fame, glamour, and sometimes scandal, and who have us utterly hooked on the details of their personal life, from date nights to dates of birth. In Hollywood's golden age, it was the affairs of couples like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall that entranced the world; in the 1980s, when Vanity Fair relaunched, it was couples like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, both with skyrocketing careers, that we adored. From 1983 to 1989, we sent the best photographers of the decade—among them Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, and Bruce Weber—to intimately capture moments of tenderness between the duos, from Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall to Madonna and Sean Penn. Relive the love.

Speaking before the eighth annual Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona this week, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher delivered a keynote speech where he defended the right of his agents to use deadly force in self-defense. Fischer addressed the ordeal agents face when they are suddenly presented with the most important decision of their lives – should I use deadly force to save my life or someone else's life?
The Associated Press quoted Fischer saying, "If you are like me, there's nothing more terrifying than fighting for your life when you're alone with no communication, and the thought for a split second that you may never get home at the end of that shift to see your wife and son again. The only thing that is equal to the ripple of fear is thinking of having to use deadly force against another human being."
This is a scenario Border Patrol Agents could be faced with at any time, not unlike any law enforcement officer. The big difference for a border patrol agent is, often they are in the middle of nowhere when trouble springs up and their back-up can be as much as thirty to forty minutes away.

Conspiracy theories, virtual chatrooms and drug rings got the attention of professional playwrights judging for this year's Young Playwrights Festival (YPF).
Every year the YPF considers a select number of plays written by high school students in the Chicago area to be made into a live production by Pegasus Theatre Chicago, performed at Chicago Dramatists.
This year, out of six hundred submissions, only a few were recognized from various high schools in Chicago, according to the Pegasus Theatre's website. From Lane, this included two honorable mentions, three finalists and one winner. The winning plays are professionally produced and shown during the theatre's main-stage season.
When students are recognized for their plays, "it means that something they created for school doesn't just die an academic death," said Ms. Meacham, Drama I and Creative Writing I teacher. "It lives beyond the walls of a classroom and I think that that take home value is fantastic."
Drama I and Creative Writing I and II require students to write and submit plays for the YPF. Most students have no experience with playwriting prior to taking these classes.
Ms. Hanson, Drama I teacher, helped guide her students in writing and submitting a play for the YPF.
"What's really fun is to see their ideas come to life on the page," Hanson said. "For many of them, this is a really challenging assignment and they come out with great ideas — some things I would never even think about."
On being a finalist, Liliana Tirado, Div. 873, said, "I feel like it was a sense of pride that I could do something that I hadn't done before, and do it well."
Meacham said she guided students on playwriting by helping them understand that playwriting is still very much a living art. She also taught them mini lessons on monologues, very long speeches, soliloquies, improvised exercises and staging.
"Students get to understand the limits and the gifts of having a stage which is very different from film, where you can go on locations and snap, you're there," Meacham said. "Theatre requires set changes, which take time."
Ricardo Salgado, Div. 769, was one of four winners of the YPF and had the opportunity to have his play showcased by Pegasus Theatre Chicago in January. The news was a complete shock to him.
"It meant everything, I was so excited," Salgado said. "I wrote something and someone said, 'Hey we liked this. Let's put a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of money into making this happen.'"
Salgado's play tells the story of Jessica, an obsessed conspiracy theorist, who takes a journey with her brother to uncover a secret society she believes controls the world, according to the Pegasus Theatre's website.
On his "goofy comedy," Salgado said, "Take all the insane conspiracy theories that are floating around the internet but have the punchline be like, 'They were all true the whole time! The illuminati is real!'"
However, Salgado said the process of writing the play was grueling.
"Originally, I had a whole other play," Salgado said. "I threw it away and I wrote a whole new one and that was what ended up winning."
Eve Doyle, YPF finalist, Div. 873, said the most difficult part was checking for grammar mistakes and creating lives for her characters.
"Making sure things fit and creating characters' lives is always a little difficult because you don't wanna seem like you're just writing words for someone to speak," Doyle said.
Nonetheless, she found the writing process fun, which made the overall experience easier.
New this year, the YPF offered The Immersion Workshop in the summer for students who reached the third round of the competition.
Ilesa Duncan, Producing Art Director at Pegasus Theatre Chicago said, "Its purpose is to provide another level of engagement with the students beyond the classroom and to get a better sense of which students have the highest interest in writing."
Many of the students found the workshop very helpful and took advantage of the opportunity to improve their plays.
"I did not keep a single scene from my first draft, so the second time around I put a lot more thought in it because I obviously had a surplus of time," Tirado said.
Furthermore, Salgado said he was able to bounce ideas off of others in the workshop and review his play to identify what he could change in order to enhance his story.
Some students with an interest in acting were also able to have the experience of delving into another side of theatre by writing their own plays. Many found they have a better understanding and consideration for the work that goes into acting and writing plays.
"I've been on both ends," Salgado said. "I've acted and I've written so now I know what an actor has to go through and what has to go into the script to make sure it comes out good, coming out of the actor's mouth."
For Marissa Olavarria, YPF finalist and now a Lane Tech alum, playwriting changed her perception of theatre.
"I am an actor and I am usually the person on stage playing the character so it was fun to be the person creating the character," Olavarria said. "Writing this play has helped me as an actor and has given me a deeper appreciation for theatre."
Some of the students who wrote plays for the YPF have an interest in writing more plays in the future and improving their skills.
The YPF has provided a platform for students to see their ideas come to life on stage.
"Seeing live theatre can have a visceral effect on the audience because you are watching people right in front of you go through the struggles that [students] set up and to have the victories and the defeats that they set up," Meacham said. "I think it's important for students to have stages where their voices and their views can be heard."

Protecting Your Body
When it comes to our health, we usually already know what we have to do. We know for one that it is the most important thing we should be safeguarding. By merely using our own common sense, we know what it is best for our bodies. Most of the time though, we are the evils who also continue to violate our health and ruin our bodies. We continue to look the other way and do things that would push bodies to bog down.
There are four major factors that we have to consider whenever it is that we are talking about our health and these four are common categories we see in health magazines or in health blogs. These four areas include eating right, getting enough sleep, working out and relaxing.
Women have other factors to consider when talking about their overall wellness. This is especially true when a woman gets into pregnancy. This is the time of a woman's life that a lot of changes can happen. Some of the changes that a woman experiences can even become life changing. With pregnancy, women have to be conscious about their body changes as they ought to take extra care when they near their full term.
With the help of pregnancy week by week tracker, women are given the guidance they need to know what exactly they can expect along the way so they can make the necessary preparation. While still pregnant women have to be extra cautious about what they eat, how they sleep and how they relax so the baby won't be affected. It is also important to take supplements and other vitamins to ensure the full development of the baby they are carrying.
This pregnancy week by week guide is there to help every expecting woman understand their bodies until such time that they are ready to give birth. Getting to know all these details will help in preparing one's body, mind and emotions while going over the pregnancy. There is a need for every expecting mother to be constantly in touch with their health care provider.
Taking the time to relax is very important especially that there are a lot of changes going on in your body. To make you feel better, give your body a treat and take a visit at your nearest spa. Regardless of what you are going through, these places are there to help you relax and feel better.
Whenever it is that you feel there is something wrong with your body, always make it a point to seek for medical help. It is important to face your fears and have yourself checked the soonest time. Worrying about things you don't know will not help you at all. Contact your health care provider to safeguard your health.


text: Spears' assistant subpoenaed by Federline 5:00 AM PDT 8/13/2007 by Associated Press , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty An assistant to Britney Spears was subpoenaed Sunday to offer a statement in a legal matter concerning the pop star and ex-husband Kevin Federline, a lawyer said. Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told The Associated Press that Alli Sims would be asked to give a deposition "in connection with the Britney Spears-Kevin Federline issue," but would give no specifics. He said the subpoena was delivered to Sims because she was "believed to have relevant information," but declined to discuss what she would be asked. It was unknown if the testimony was connected to the child custody hearing scheduled for Aug. 14. Spears spokeswoman Gina Orr did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment. Spears' divorce from rapper and dancer Federline became official July 30. Since February, Spears, 25, and Federline, 29, have shared joint custody of their sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston and 10-month-old Jayden James.

Do you need to allow Editor users on your site to access WPForms? By default, WPForms access is restricted to users that have full administrative privileges on your site. This is by design and recommended for security purposes.
However, in some cases you might want to to allow site Editors access to manage your forms and entries. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to expand WPForms access to Editors.
To provide Editors with access to WPForms, you'll need the code snippet shown below:
/** * Change WPForms capability requirement. * * @param string $cap * @return string */ function wpforms_custom_capability( $cap ) { // unfiltered_html by default means Editors and up. // See more about WordPress roles and capabilities // https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities return 'unfiltered_html'; } add_filter( 'wpforms_manage_cap', 'wpforms_custom_capability' );
For details on how to easily add custom code like this to your site, please see WPBeginner's tutorial on custom code snippets.
Note: If you're using multisite, you'll need to use a different capability (editors don't have the capability for
'unfiltered_html' on multisite). For example,
'moderate_comments' would be a good option (assuming your site is using default Editor capabilities).
Please see the WordPress Codex if you'd like more alternative options.
That's it! Once this code is in place, any users with an Editor role on your site will gain access to WPForms.
Next, would you like to learn about all of the options available for entry management? Be sure to check out our complete guide to entries for details on CSV exports, printing entries, and more.

'Blurred Lines' Model Emily Ratajkowski Cast in David Fincher's 'Gone Girl'
Posted on Monday, September 16th, 2013 by Germain Lussier
Odds are if you own a computer and were alive in the past six months, you likely saw Robin Thicke's music video for the hit song "Blurred Lines." Pushing 200 million views on YouTube, it was one of the most talked about clips of the year, thanks in part to a model named Emily Ratajkowski. Now the London-born model is turning that buzz into a major acting gig. She's been cast as Andie, an important supporting character in David Fincher's Gone Girl, which stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
The Wrap broke the news of the casting. The exact nature of her role is a minor spoiler so proceed with caution.
Ratajkowski plays Andie, a young college student with whom Nick Dunne (Affleck) has an affair. Considering his wife soon disappears, and the whole thing was very secret, odds are the situation doesn't quite bode well for Nick.
Directed by David Fincher from a script by Gillian Flynn (based on her own novel), Gone Girl is being distributed by 20th Century Fox. Affleck plays Nick and Pike plays Amy, his perfect wife who disappears. The film tells the story of how Nick is implicated in the disappearance. It also stars Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit and Neil Patrick Harris. No release date is set but production stars this Fall.
And in case you haven't seen the video, here's the SFW version starring Ratajkowski. There's also a NSFW version.

Re^3: WriteExcel and formulasby jmcnamara (Monsignor)

Is that a problem with the viewer or the module?
A little bit of both.
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel writes formulas in the required binary RPN format but it doesn't write the result of the formula since it wouldn't be practical to calculate the result of arbitrary formulae. So instead it writes 0 as a default formula result. Excel and most other spreadsheet applications recalculate the result of formulas when the file is loaded so that generally isn't an issue.
However, Excel Viewer doesn't calculate formulae so all you see is the default 0 result.
You can work around this by explicitly specifying the calculated value of the formula at the end of the argument list:

PepsiCo ran a multi-channel campaign in the Netherlands which included Exterion Media's digital products. Alongside this, they also used mobile and experiential advertising aiming to reach their target audience and continue the battle against their well-known ´red competitor´…
Tesla and Edison, Sherlock and Moriarty, Star Wars and Star Trek - the world is full of rivalries. This includes Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Adding fuel to the fire of this rivalry, PepsiCo launched one of their better-known campaigns from the 70s: the Pepsi Tasting Challenge.
This was kickstarted at a number of Dutch train stations where people were challenged to taste a glass of Pepsi and a glass of Coca-Cola, both of which were unbranded. Participants were then asked to indicate their preference. This classic and compelling campaign was immediately a great success and despite the boost in brand recognition, PepsiCo wanted to generate even more reach. This led to their next creative step, carried out by OMD Netherlands, to retarget the people who took part in the Pepsi Tasting Challenge.
To implement this, they used Exterion Media's digital screens across six different shopping centres in Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam. The shopping centres were chosen based on whether they had a supermarket within them to stimulate purchase intent.
Instead of using every digital screen throughout the day, PepsiCo enabled DSP Platform 161 for a hyper-focused and contextual approach. When people participated in the Pepsi Tasting Challenge, a unique ID was logged from several apps using Resono beacon technology. The Digital Out-of-Home campaign was then triggered when one of these participants walked into the mall.
Programmatic campaigns enable brands to achieve their objectives as well as being cost-effective. For PepsiCo, this particular campaign was highly effective and certainly attracted the attention of the public.
"We are looking at retargeting in a completely different way, now that we know how flexible Digital Out-of-Home programmatic can be bought in. The digital screens from Exterion Media were an innovative and creative addition to the Pepsi campaign" – says Danique Steur, Senior Programmatic Specialist, Omnicom Media Group.
"With programmatic Digital Out-of-Home, we were able to be extremely relevant to our audience without having to spend huge amounts. In the future we are definitely going to continue to innovate with these kinds of campaigns. "-added, Michiel Otten, Brand Manager - Beverages, PepsiCo.
Whilst raising brand awareness with Digital Out-of-Home campaigns are still an important part of a brand's marketing strategy, data-driven programmatic campaigns are becoming more frequently used as they look to find more efficient and creative ways to share their stories.

Learning How To Make Software
My first experiences in computer programming were in QBasic, a simple DOS based version of BASIC. Qbasic has evolved into VB.NET and it's sister C# and the development software Visual Studio. While an amazing tool set it just isn't as simple as it once was. It would likely have overwhelmed me as a 7th grader.
Check out Microsoft's Small Basic. It makes learning to program simple again, it has a built in turtle (for those that remember LOGO), and it's free.

Last year I had the good fortune to attend the International
Food Bloggers' Conference in Seattle – my first visit. I
didn't have much time outside the conference events, but there were
a few spare minutes where I did what any dedicated food blogger
would do – find good things to eat!
Though I was only in Seattle a couple of days, I fortunately had
friends who were ahead of the game and managed to score us a table
at Delancey, the brainchild of
author Molly Wizenberg (her blog, Orangette was one of
the first ones I ever read) and her husband, Brandon Pettit, who
mans the wood-fired pizza ovens. The couple opened this pint-sized
pizza restaurant in the summer of 2009 on a small budget, all
chronicled on Orangette – if you have ever dreamed of opening a
restaurant, you might want to take a look at Molly's blog to read
what you already suspect – it's a whole lot of work and a true
labour of love. An excellent product and word of mouth have
kept them busy ever since and even though the menu is small, Pettit
proves that doing a few things really, really well is better than
trying to overstretch one's resources.
The restaurant, though small, lures in crowds of pizza enthusiasts
Wednesday through Sunday with offerings such as the White Pie ($14)
featuring house-made ricotta, fresh and aged mozzarella, garlic and
Grana. If you're lucky you will be there during padrón pepper
season – if you like spice, you will fall in love with this
pizza. The dough is the star of these pies; thin and crisp
with a good "chew" factor and delightfully charred edges, it
transported me back to a summer travelling through Italy.
Delancey is small, it can be loud and you do have to wait for a
table unless you arrive right when they open (they will take
reservations for parties of six or more only). But it's worth
it. The atmosphere was welcoming and homey – the service
efficient without being in your face and the food…. absolutely
I dined with eight other food bloggers and we ordered every pie off
the menu. Yes, there were many, many pies. And none we didn't
(Look at the size of those lobster tails!)
One of the "must see" places on my Seattle list was, of course, The Pike
Place Market. Markets are one of the first things I make
a beeline for in a new city, often visiting more markets than
museums, because I truly believe you can learn a whole lot about
the culture of a place by checking out what people eat and where
they buy it.
Founded in 1907 and now spanning more than nine acres, the Market
is a huge draw for food enthusiasts visiting Seattle. Home to
more than 200 year-round commercial businesses, 190 craftspeople,
approximately 100 farmers who rent table space by the day, 240
street performers and musicians, and more than 300 apartment units,
the Market attracts some 10 million visitors a year and is
considered one of America's premier farmers markets.
Seattle City councilman Thomas Revelle proposed a public street
market with a view to connecting farmers directly with consumers.
This "Meet the Producer" philosophy is still the foundation of all
Pike Place Market businesses. You can meet some of the
here. Fish, seafood, fresh produce, flowers, baked goods,
pasta, groceries, spices – you name it, it will be at Pike Place
Market. You can take in the market on your own, as I did, or
take a tour.
The main entrance to Pike Place Market is located at First Avenue
and Pike Street.
As I mentioned, I was in Seattle to attend IFBC, which just
happened to be held at the Theo Chocolate factory.
Yes, a chocolate factory. And 300 food bloggers. A marriage made in
heaven! Theo Chocolate is the only organic, fair-trade,
bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the United States. (The name Theo
comes from the Greek name of the Cacao tree – Theobroma
Cacao, Food of the Gods). Their award-winning chocolate and
commitment to social and environmental responsibility has garnered
them much press. Theo's
founder, Joseph Whinney, pioneered the supply of organic cocoa
beans into the United States in 1994. His dream was to build the
first organic chocolate factory in the US, as prior to Theo's
inaugural chocolate run in March of 2006, all organic chocolate
available in the US was manufactured in, and imported from, Europe.
According to their website, Theo's standards and practices
- Using only pure ingredients that are grown sustainably.
Sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible.
- Partnering with growers by ensuring they earn a living wage and
have access to education for their families.
- Honoring and respecting their employees and suppliers. This is
possible due to the unique fact that Theo controls every step of
their own manufacturing process.
- Using green energy sources to power their factory.
- Using sustainable packaging and printing methods.
- Educating about social and environmental accountability 7 days
a week through public tours of the artisan factory.
I was fortunate enough to take a short guided tour behind the
scenes (you can book a tour here),
learning about the origins of their cacao beans, their ethical and
sustainable practices and the true meaning of "bean-to-bar".
Theo follows their beans through the entire manufacturing process,
only producing small batches of their chocolates, true artisans of
With some truly unique offerings, Theo has something for everyone,
from the die-hard adventurous eater to someone craving simple plain
chocolate. Salted vanilla caramels not your thing? How about
toasted coconut, spicy chile, coconut curry, bread and chocolate or
chai tea chocolate bars? Theo also offers dark and chipotle
sipping chocolates and "Big Daddy" bars in marshmallow or peanut
butter. You are guaranteed to find something you like in the tiny
retail store.

Fostoria History
Fostoria's Past: A Century of history in the making
1940- (More about the year)
The incorporation of the Atlas Crankshaft Inc. of Fostoria, for $50,000 was announced on Jan. 27, 1940. Theodore E. Clark, former president and general manager of the old Atlas Manufacturing Co., Edward A. Harper of Detroit and Tiffin Attorney George Schroth were listed as incorporators.
Mr. Clark stated the new concern would operate in the building on South Union Street which formerly housed the Bradley Motor Products Co. He said approximately 20 men would be employed at first and additional men would be added as production was stepped up.
The new business would make crankshafts and other products similar to those manufactured at the old Atlas Manufacturing Co.
1941- (More about the year)
The big story in 1941 had to be the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 and the subsequent declaration of war by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The headline on the Dec. 8 edition of the Fostoria Daily Review blared "U.S.A. AT WAR."
Eugene Daugherty, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Daugherty, 411 E. Tiffin St. was reported missing following the bombing at Pearl Harbor. Durward Laney, 21, of Toledo, the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Burkett of Fostoria, was killed as a result of the bombing. Both men were in the U.S. Navy.
1942- (More about the year)
The news in 1942 was filled with was exploits, but the two major stories were the 2 R's - rationing and registration. Hundreds of Fostoria men were required to register for the draft and all Fostorians were affected by the rationing of many vital products including cars, car parts, gasoline, food items and clothing (such as nylons for women). The rationing not only affected the local residents, but had serious repercussions for local merchants, who had great difficulty getting items to sell.
1943- (More about the year)
A U.S. Army board of inquiry, composed of an air force operations officer, a medical corps officer and an army intelligence civilian investigator, were in Fostoria on Nov. 1, 1943, attempting to establish the cause of the crash of a B-24-D four-motored Liberator bomber on the Earl Ash farm, five miles east of Fostoria. The crash a couple of days earlier caused the death of three U.S. Army airmen.
The plane was manned by only a skeleton crew when it began a routine training flight from Palm Springs, Fla., to Detroit, Mich.
The investigators were aided by Seneca County Sheriff George Steinmetz.
1944- (More about the year)
On April 23, 1944, Clement O. Miniger, 69, one of Fostoria's most illustrious sons, who became one of the nation's leading industrialists, passed away in his suburban home near Toledo.
Mr. Miniger, who came here with his parents when he was a child, was graduated from Fostoria High School and always considered Fostoria his home town. His parents, Samuel and Clementine, lived on West Tiffin Street until their deaths. A brother Charles, still lived on Wood Street and a sister, Mrs. James (Anna) Sellers, lived on West Fremont Street.
Chairman of the board of directors of the Electrical Auto Lite Corp. at the time of his death, Miniger was instrumental in establishing two of the company plants, the foundry and the spark plug division, in Fostoria. He organized Electrical Auto Lite in 1911.
Mr. Miniger also ranked as a great figure in finance and philanthropy, aiding many Fostoria projects over the years, with his dollars.
1945 (More about the year)
Fostoria and surrounding areas were paralyzed on Jan. 1, 1945, by the worst winter storm in more than 60 years. Terrific winds that piled snow into great drifts, accompanied by sub-zero temperatures, snarled traffic and posed a threat to life and property.
Hundreds of motorists were stranded in the rural districts. Farmers throughout the area went to their rescue. When it was found impossible to drag cars from the snow banks with horses or tractors, farmers took the motorists into their homes. More than 50 persons spent the night in one farm house on the Fostoria-Fremont Road.
Every road out of Fostoria was blocked by drifts. All bus-line traffic through Fostoria was stopped and railroad trains were running from one to eight hours behind schedule. Fostoria store were running out of food and the war plants were hit by rampant absenteeism.
More snow would fall in succeeding weeks, making the winter of 1945 one to remember.
Fostoria got a radio station in 1946. WFOB-FM went on the air in December as one of the most powerful independent radio stations in Ohio.
The quest for a station license here was spearheaded by local attorney, Laurence Harry, who had worked with radio transmitters while serving in the U.S. Navy.
Programming, limited though it was at first, originated from studios located in the basement of the First National Bank building at Main and Tiffin streets.
The Fostoria Veterans of Foreign Wars Band won the first of a dozen national championships on Sept. 3, 1947 at the national encampment in Cleveland.
The band, directed by Richard Downs, who was also the Fostoria High School band director, received a $1,000 first-prize check.
Thousands of Fostorians were on hand to greet the local musicians when they returned to Fostoria by train with their national trophy.
1948- (More about the year)
On March 20, 1948, residents of Fostoria and vicinity were busy repairing the thousands upon thousands of dollars in damage caused by a tornado which ripped through the area shortly before 1 p.m. the previous day.
It was hard for those who viewed the damage to understand how there were no deaths or serious injuries here. There were five deaths and scores of injuries in other sections of northwestern Ohio.
In Wayne, scores of trees fell on houses, roofs were ripped off and windows were broken. In Risingsun, the town hall roof was ripped off, the school building was damaged and many houses were hard-hit.
The Foster duck farm, near Wayne, sustained several thousands of dollars in damage. One-third of the flock of 20,000 ducklings was killed or sustained injuries that would later cause death.
The roof was blown from the recently-erected projection building at the Star Lite Drive-in at U.S. 23 and 224. Several trees and high tension wires were blown down in Fostoria.
Dr. James K. Timanus, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Timanus of Fostoria, and his wife, Dorothy, were killed when the Great Lakes cruise ship Noronic exploded, burst into flames and sank at its pier in Toronto, Canada on Sept. 17, 1949.
Dr. Timanus, had received his doctor of medicine degree the previous June. He and his wife, the former Dorothy Coleman of Cleveland, met while both were students at the College of Wooster. Their two children, Jimmy, 3, and Barbara, 1, were staying with their paternal grandparents in Fostoria.
Dr. Timanus had recently moved to Lakewood where he began his duties as an intern at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland.

two unrelated stories-
The unofficial first year we had a Micron computer running Windows '95, a dial up internet connection through Eugene costing maybe 90/year, a fax machine off craigslist, and a crummy landline/answering machine- the year was 2004.
In 2004 most people had cell phones. After we got a business licence we decided to get a Samsung flip phone- and today we are now on our fifth flip phone. Mid summer we did acquire an iphone- which no one has the number to, but business phone remains the flip phone.
Enter our new Kyocera. Sadly there are no options anymore for phones like this, but this has got to be the raddist flip phone ever. Texting with gloves, in the pouring rain. the action on the buttons is really nice. it also has noise dampening, and so far people have mentioned that they hear us super clear. also it organizes messages in threads by person. It has been a week so far with this phone and the thrill has not worn off- looking forward to the next five years with this phone!!!!
Sometime around 2003? Peets opens the first coffee bar in Portland- and it was revolutionary (for six months). This is at their Broadway location which is still (almost) the same. The concept? order coffee like beer, or like at an old fashioned soda fountain (which ive heard of but never seen). No point of sale, no lines, just belly up to the bar- sound familiar? After all the research using that '95 windows computer, and painstakingly coming to the same conclusion of this is how it should be, someone had already beat us there (for a short while). Two local coffee favorites were also later to build the same idea- with the same failing- where either the staff, or customers, revolted against the idea. The point is that Peets Coffee has had some great ideas- but perhaps what they work against is our culture, or maybe they are not working hard enough.
Its rainy and that means seats inside our shop are difficult- dont worry we are working on that now. we are also waxing and waterproofing our gear, and atempting to fix our brakes for the cargo bike. New lot from Rwanda arrived today- Ingoboko cooperative farmers, Rutsiro district (lovely winey accidity, just did a small batch, will be downtown tomorrow).

Hi Everyone,
New on the thread, need some advice. After I ran the boat a bunch, I did the required maintenance and removed the flex cable etc. Once ready to run again, I re-installed it and went out. Well I must have not tightened the flex cable to the motor coupler because the whole assembly now sits on the bottom of the lake. How tight should I tighten my new one to the coupler? How tight should I tighten the prop to the cable? Should I use a special nut on the prop? Any advice for this rc boat newbie would be great..tx
I crank the shaft collet pretty tight and have never had an issue, and the prop nut should be a 4mm nyloc nut that should be fairly snug and shouln't come loose especially on a new boat. Check them after every run and remember you still need to oil the motor bearings and grease the shaft every 3 or 4 runs.
Does the new shaft come with necessary hardware?
No part #5776 is just the flex cable nothing else and part #5777 is the brass stuffing tube with the plastic liner.

In 2015, outdoor retailer REI changed the conversation around Black Friday, and won practically every advertising award on the planet, with #OptOutside, a campaign centered around REI's decision to close all of its stores on the biggest shopping day of the year and pay all of its employees to spend time outdoors with family and friends instead.
Two years later, REI continues to evolve #OptOutside. New for Black Friday 2017 is what REI calls an "experiential search engine" at REI.com/optoutside, which collects user-generated content tagged #OptOutside on Instagram and combines it with real-time information about locations and experiences across the country. There will also be 20 UGC-heavy videos.
Adweek spoke with REI's chief creative officer, Ben Steele, about the new activation, as well as what keeps #OptOutside fresh and differentiated in the marketplace. #OptOutside, he said, began as a program for employees, and that remains a key part of it. On Black Friday again this year, REI will close its 151 stores, process no online sales and pay all 12,000 employees not to come to work.
But #OptOutside has been adopted as a movement by consumers and by other companies and organizations, Steele added. Collecting that content, and organizing it with a search engine—in a way that's inspirational but also practically useful—seemed like a great next step.
"We've been really blown away over the three years by what the impact and engagement with #OptOutside has been. It is not falsely humble to say our expectations for response were a heck of a lot more modest than what's actually happened," Steele said. "Millions of people who have used the platform of #OptOutside to tell their stories and celebrate their moments in the outdoors. That hashtag, #OptOutside, has become a part of the parlance of the outdoors. It's a way people share their passion. That's a view that we can see, but I'm not sure people can see that view themselves."
The search engine now lets everyone see it, for free.
"You see a narrative of a life outdoors from the people who are actually living it, from someone who is summiting big mountains to someone who is stepping onto a trail for the first time," says Steele. "We have 16 million members around the world. The notion that we could invent something more compelling around the outdoors than they could, would be foolish."
#OptOutside was never meant to be a closed, REI-only campaign. It was meant to be a rallying cry. And indeed, more than 700 organizations have joined REI in supporting it in some form over the past two years. (One new partnership this year is with Lyft, which will be offering free rides to local parks this Friday in 10 cities—Portland, Ore., Phoenix, Denver, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Tucson, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.)
But the campaign remains powerfully connected to REI's brand, Steele said, largely because closing on Black Friday wasn't just a stunt but was an expression of REI's core purpose.
"The ability to claim that moment and say, this is about our values and not about transactions, is still pretty differentiating," he said. "This is going to sound New Agey, but I think it's a time for people to pause and be intentional about, How do I spend my time? Who am I with? Where am I going? Am I in the places that matter most to me? Or am I just going with the flow?"
#OptOutside is also, of course, still a very big deal for REI employees.
"It's a top five sales day for us—or it was," says Steele. "The reaction we got from employees when we announced it was huge, and really powerful. I've been in retail for 30 years, and I've never had this day off. I've spent Thanksgiving thinking about getting to my job the next day. That power is an annual thing. It's not like it's diminished over time."

« Transparency Watch: NCLB Waiver Judges Identified | Main | Duncan Talks GOP Candidates, ESEA, Penn State »
Pizza Emerges as New Political Hot Potato
From guest blogger Nirvi Shah:
It turns out pizza is the real political hot potato when it comes to school lunches.
Although a federal spending bill that includes provisions that would allow a slice of cheese pizza to count as a vegetable on school lunch trays is headed for President Barack Obama's desk, a petition protesting the clause is being circulated by the Democratic party.
In a plea for signatures, the request proclaims Republicans sold out students' health to appease corporate interests.
"In this Republican Congress, almost anything is up for sale to the highest bidder and most powerful lobbyists—including the literal definition of the word 'vegetable'—and this time, it's coming at the expense of our kids' health," wrote Brad Woodhouse, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee.
His email notes that the Obama administration was trying to undo the loophole in school meal standards that now allows pizza to be counted as a vegetable. While other vegetables and fruits are counted as a serving only if there is at least a half-cup on students' plates, just one-eighth of a cup of tomato paste on a slice of pizza counts as a serving.
Putting a full serving's worth of tomato paste on an individual slice would have made the pizza inedible, the frozen food industry has argued. (Although they could have alternately added veggies to the pizza.)
And the USDA's proposed switch wouldn't have kept pizza off lunch trays. Schools would have had to serve additional vegetables with it, however.
Mr. Woodhouse said the tomato paste clause was built into school meals during the Reagan administration, the same one that tried to count servings of ketchup as a veggie.
The pizza-protection provision was built into the agriculture spending bill along with other provisions that keep the USDA from limiting the amount of starchy vegetables, including white potatoes, served at school; and cut some limits on sodium in school meals the agency proposed.
Just last year, Congress told USDA to rewrite the rules on school lunch, a measure that passed with bipartisan support. Despite the petition, The Hill reports that more Democrats than Republicans in the House approved the spending measure that contains rules about tomato paste.
That was folded into a bigger spending bill involving several departments—Commerce, Justice, Science, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development. The bill also passed the Senate.
And because of that, it's expected that President Obama will sign the bill.

t's no secret that a lot of people nowadays strive to live a better life. A big part of this transition has to do with clean, organic eating. And when considering that most of us always aim to shed off those pesky extra pounds at the beginning of every year, it becomes clear that adopting a nourishing, yet effective diet is something many dream of.
Fortunately, this is one dream that is quite easy to reach, especially when it includes superfoods. All you need is determination and an appropriate meal plan. The hardest part about it is deciding what to include in it. So, what should you eat to keep up with your weight loss, healthy eating-oriented New Year's resolutions? Let's find out.
Fortunately, when it comes to superfoods, you have more than enough to choose from. There are plenty of superfoods out there which not only nourish your body but also work as a fat diminisher. Here are the three main ones that you need to integrate into your new diet right away.
It's no secret that popular media has declared avocado the number one preferred food of today's youth. While a lot of jokes emerged on this topic, it's worth noting that this South American fruit is actually one of the most nutrient-filled items that you can add to your menu to sustain your well-being.
Their healthy fat content helps lower cholesterol by as much as 22%, according to a recent study. Furthermore, just one avocado provides you more than 40% the amount of folate and half the fiber you should ideally consume in a day. This keeps your heart healthy and your body nourished overall.
Although most people eat avocado either in salads or by making them into guacamole, they can be added in a variety of dishes, from sandwiches and omelets to exotic meals such as sushi or tostadas. You can even make avocado ice cream if you're craving something sweet that will still be good for you. And if all else fails, they make a great side dish for all sorts of steaks.
Beans are an amazing source of protein, with just one cup containing as much as 15 grams of the stuff. This is even truer the darker the beans get, so naturally, black beans are the best choice if you're looking for a superfood to integrate into your meal plan. And they also contain a lot more antioxidants than regular white beans, which is an added benefit.
There are plenty of savory and flavorful ways to eat them, too. By far the easiest one is adding them to various salads, but they are also a great ingredient in tacos, chili, enchiladas and a variety of soups. In fact, many South American dishes include them, and all for good reason. Not only are they tasty, but they're also a powerhouse for your health.
And on top of that, all legumes are similarly healthy, especially peas and lentils. Not only do they help lower the risk of developing heart disease at some point in your life, but they also reduce the incidence of breast cancer in the globe's female population if consumed periodically. So, if black beans aren't your things, you can most definitely replace them.
If you're looking for a healthy meat option as well to add to your new diet, salmon is the answer for you. It has plenty of health benefits, which make it the perfect superfood to put on your plate. This is due not only to its rich omega-3 fatty acid content but also the fact that it offers our bodies a day's worth of vitamin D.
Thanks to these nutrients, eating salmon as often as possible promotes bone and joint health, keeps your heart on the right track, improves your eyesight and makes your skin glow, all in a day's work. And in addition to these already astounding qualities, it also lowers cancer risk and potentially fights already existing tumors as well.
There are many delicious ways to add salmon to your diet because it's a versatile fish. Its fillet can be grilled, baked or even braised and garnished with honey or balsamic glazes, lemon and any side dish of your choice, be it wild rice or steamed veggies. And for a unique twist, you can even grind it up, make it into patties and put together a tasty and filling salmon burger.
It's been years now since superfoods have stolen the spotlight as far as our nutritional needs are concerned. Not only are they usually packed with an impressive amount of either vitamins, minerals, protein or healthy fats, but most of them are also tasty and promote weight loss. By integrating these three foods, along with any others you might like, in your dishes, you will reach your fitness goals in no time at all.

Pakistani officials say a bomb blast has wounded at least 22 people in the eastern city of Lahore.
Provincial Punjabi government spokesman Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan said on August 7 that the bomb was planted inside a truck loaded with fruit.
At least three of the injured were said to be in critical condition.
The explosion also destroyed a nearby building and damaged several vehicles.
No one claimed immediate responsibility for the blast.
Lahore, Pakistan's cultural hub and Punjab Province's capital, has been hit by significant militant attacks this year. Last month, a bombing claimed by the Pakistani Taliban killed at least 26 people, including police officers.
