A proposed new ASTM International standard, WK14283, "Guide for Green Roof Systems," will identify terminology, principles, and concepts for building vegetated green roof systems. Subcommittee E06.71 on Sustainability, part of ASTM E-06 on Performance of Buildings, is developing the proposed standard.
"We are trying to develop a suite of relevant standards that industry professionals, manufacturers, government agencies, and municipalities can use to understand the fundamentals and performance of green roof systems," says Michael Gibbons, president of Architectural Systems Inc. and a member of E06.71.
While a proposed "Practice for Assessment of Green Roofs" (WK575) is in the works, it is a long-range project. So the subcommittee also decided to develop WK14283 to serve as a significant source on the fundamental aspects and performance of a green roof system.
Several green roof standards have already been developed by Subcommittee E06.71 and are approved:
Contact Michael Gibbons at 800-442-4554, or e-mail email@example.com. Committee E-06 meets Oct. 29-Nov. 1 in Tampa, Fla. For membership or meeting information, contact Stephen Mawn, manager, Technical Committee Operations, at 610-832-9726 or e-mail email@example.com.

I bought this from babyage as a gift, it worked so so and then after a few weeks only swings very shallow or not at all. I called babyage, they said it is just over 4 weeks so I have to contact the manufacturer, Fisher Price said sorry we have no more and offerd a partial refund if I paid to ship the bulk of it back to them. I explained that I would be out about $100 after 2 shipping costs etc, they said "sorry"... It is now in the garbage 1.5 months after I paid over $200 for it including shipping, taxes etc...

User Review for Fisher-Price Little Lamb Papasan Cradle Swing
I love this. My daughter only takes 1 nap a day, this gets her to relax not fuss and now sleep longer. It indeed is the best product out there for your baby and for you as a parent. It gives me a break when I need it. My daughter is 6 weeks old and loves it and so do I!
High Chairs
When feeding your child, you want them to have the "best seat in the house". Whether you have to spoon feed them or they can feed themselves, a high quality highchair is important to any parent. There are so many different choices for you to pick from. Highchairs come in all different sizes, colors, and styles. With our wide selection of highchairs, we guarantee that you will be able to find the one that fits your needs and your budget.
Typically, you do not need to purchase a highchair until your baby starts to eat solid foods. This usually occurs around the 6 month period. You can of course buy a highchair earlier on. Many parents like to buy them earlier and keep them at the dinner table so they can keep a watchful eye on their little one while they eat.
There are several things that you should look for when purchasing a highchair as well. First, make sure that the highchair is safe. Pick a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufactures Association certificate on it. This certificate is found on mostly all reputable highchair manufacturing companies.
Look for a highchair with height adjustment if you plan to use the chair long term. This way, you can adjust the highchair to be easy on your arms for feeding and adjust the height as your baby grows older in age.
Also, check the straps on the highchair. Try to find a highchair where the straps are strong, durable and machine washable. Steer clear of models that only have a loop that goes around the baby's waist. It is very easy for the baby to slip out of these and get hurt.
Highchairs can also get dirty very quickly, so choose a model that will wash well. Vinyl cushions are easy to be wiped down. Also, if you choose a highchair with cloth cushions, make sure they are removable for easy cleaning.
Some of our bestselling models include:
Safety 1st Vineland Solid Wood Highchair
Gracco Classic Wooden Highchair
Whatever your needs are, you are sure to find them with our huge selection at BabyAge.com!

Public Schools Increasing Single-Sex Education
July 9, 2012
© Shutterstock
A school in Middleton, Idaho is causing quite a stir now that it, along with dozens of other public schools nationwide, is being targeted by the American Civil Liberties Union for dividing boys and girls in separate classrooms, reports USA Today.
Single-sex classes have become more common after the Education Department relaxed restrictions in 2006. In 2002, only a dozen schools offered all-boy and all-girl classes, according to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education. Today, that number is at an estimated 500.
Plus: Boys vs. Girls: Who's Harder to Raise
Those in favor of these measures say that separation allows teachers to tailor instruction better to the students—a concern that comes in the wake of research showing that boys are graduating at lower rates than girls and performing worse on tests. Critics point out that research doesn't support the benefits of single-sex education and could in fact be harmful, by promoting gender stereotyping and depriving students of equal educational opportunities.
Plus: The Real Difference Between Boys and Girls
However, the idea had proved popular in Middleton Heights Elementary and gender-separate classes were expanded throughout the school. Teachers use microphones to adjust their voices to the level that research suggests is best for boys. When preparing for a test, boys go for a run while girls do calming exercises. Even the classrooms are decorated differently, with blue chalkboards for boys and red paper hearts attached to the walls for the girls. The boys and girls only see each other at lunch and recess. Parents are allowed to opt out if they would prefer that their child remain in a coed classroom
Do you think separate-sex education can address the achievement gender gap in schools? Would you want your child to learn in an all-boy or all-girl environment?

There's no better way to experience a variety of tastes, textures, strengths, and colours than at one of Scotland's many food and drink-themed festivals. Throughout the year, there are mouthwatering events featuring plenty of local produce in splendid locations across the country, from city parks to picturesque harbours. Here's a slice of what's on offer:
In May, join in with celebrations of Scotland's nation drink, whisky or uisge beatha, 'the water of life', at the Spirit of Speyside Festival.

Over the long weekend, join special distillery tours, visit pretty towns, enjoy drams at energetic ceilidhs and explore the great outdoors. There are hundreds of Speyside malts to choose from, why not visit and find your favourite?
The Crail Food Festival takes place in this charming fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife in June. Events centre around the waterfront where you'll find food markets, cooking demonstrations, foraging walks and entertaining supper and music events with a local flavour. Follow the Crail Food Trail to try special dishes at the local pubs, cafes and restaurants for only a few pounds each.
Dumfries & Galloway hosts Flavour Fortnight which showcases the very best of the region's food and drink offerings. Meet the local producers and discover the passion behind local products while taking in the splendid scenery. Bread baking courses, creamery tours, sausage tasting and cider making are just some of the unique events offered as part of the tastiest two weeks of the calendar.
Amid all the festivities in Scotland's capital in August, you'll find the Foodies Festival. In previous years this has been held over three days in Edinburgh's Inverleith Park and is packed with international flavours and cuisine from all around the world. There are world-class cooking demos, drinks masterclasses, pop-up restaurants, and loads of delicious things to nibble at. Visit the food stalls and pick up kitchen tips, stock up on quality ingredients or simply enjoy some street food and a drink while soaking up the festival atmosphere.

Note: This is an introduction explaining the concept of "acts_as". This will not go into detail about creating the plugin.. only the basic description of the functionality of the plugin. Part 2 will go into detail about creating the structure outside of this and making it a real plugin.
You have seen them everywhere in the Rails world. Acts as this, Acts as that, Is able…. Most of these plugins have the same goal: Allow any ActiveRecord subclass to "have many" of another specific AR subclass. For example, acts_as_taggable_on allows a post, article, product, or any other AR model to have many tags. Hence the name "taggable". These plugins take care of the associations for you, by adding only one extra database table to your schema. You don't have to alter the "able" model's table structure to make it work. "Able" plugins do this by using polymorphism. It is actually quite simple to create something that is "able" using Rails 3. In this tutorial, I will create the code directly in the Rails app, instead of using a gem (so as the introductory note states… this is not a real plugin yet). Check it out:
Create a plugin that allows any ActiveRecord model to have many reviews. Reviews will have a rating, a text review, pros, cons, and a user ID
1. Create the review Model
Easy enough to create using Rails generators:
rails g model review rating:integer review_text:text pros:string cons:string user_id:integer reviewable_type
2. Define the polymorphic associations in the model and migration
You will need to add this line to your migration in order to generate the 2 extra columns for polymorphism (reviewable_type,reviewable_id)
t.references :reviewable, :polymorphic => true
This will spit out our migration and create the Review model.
Next we will add the polymorphic association to the Review class that was just generated:
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :reviewable, :polymorphic=>true end
Basically, this tells Rails that you want to the Review to belong to "reviewable" and "reviewable" can be any other type of model. Behind the scenes, Rails just looks at the "reviews" table for "reviewable" using the "reviewable_type" and "reviewable_id". This may be a little confusing if you are not familiar with polymorphic associations in Rails. Lets take a look at how the records actually show up in the table and it may make a little more sense:
id | reviewable_type | reviewable_id | review_text | 1 | "Product" | 99 | "my review of product #99" | 2 | "Article" | 25 | "my review of article #25" |
As you can see, each row represents a single review, but each review belongs to a different model instance. Review #1 belongs to Product #99, and review #2 belongs to Article #25. By creating the 2 "reviewable" columns, you are able to associate a review with more than one model class.
3. Run the migration
rake db:migrate
4. Create a module that ActiveRecord::Base will extend
This allows you to keep things DRY and simple in each model that is "reviewable" (has_many :reviews). You can drop this into your /app/models directory.
module Reviewable def is_reviewable has_many :reviews, :as=>:reviewable, :dependent=>:destroy include InstanceMethods end module InstanceMethods def reviewable? true end end end ActiveRecord::Base.extend Reviewable
First, lets look at the last line in the code above. When this Ruby file is evaluated it will make ActiveRecord::Base extend Reviewable. Basically when you extend a module, the class methods are added to the class that is extending the module. So ActiveRecord::Base now has a class method named "is_reviewable". Since all your models extend ActiveRecord::Base, they will also respond to this class method.
Next take a look inside the class method. The "is_reviewable" method calls the "has_many" class method and also adds an instance method to the ActiveRecord::Base subclass instance. Lets take a look at a real example that would use the "is_reviewable" class method.
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base is_reviewable end
This used to look like some kind of magic to me when I was a Rails novice. Its just a nice DSL, but behind the scenes this line is calling a class method. Since this line is not in a "def", the class method will be executed immediately when the class is loaded by Rails. in other words… self.is_reviewable. The class is loaded, the method is executed and has_many (also a class method) is executed and the methods defined in the InstanceMethods module are included in the Product class.
5. Try it out
For simplicity I will not include the tests here, but please note that it is important to create tests using Rspec (or whatever framework you prefer) for all of this code. These console lines could easily be translated into a test spec.
Lets see this in action in the Rails console:
#check to see if the class method is there for AR Base ActiveRecord::Base.methods.include?(:is_reviewable) => true #check to see if class method is there for Product (has to be b/c it subclasses AR Base) Product.methods.include?(:is_reviewable) => true #check to see if the instance method is there Product.instance_methods.include?(:reviewable?) => true product = Product.new => # product.reviewable? => true product.reviews => [] #nothing here yet.. we havent created any product.reviews.create(review_text: "test") => #this results in error.. you can create a review until the product has been saved product.save product.reviews.create(review_text: "test") => #<Review id: 1, reviewable_type: "Product", reviewable_id: 101 ....> product.reviews.size => 1
It looks a bit complicated and magical when you first encounter these plugins, but in reality its as simple as adding a class method to AR. Please read this blog by Yehuda Katz which shows how some people make the extends/includes thing alot more complicated than it should be. I was using the "overkill" way before I read his post. It totally makes sense and removes some of the confusion you may have when looking at the source of some of the "able" plugins.

After the recent market turmoil opened up access to top managers, Universities Superannuation Scheme is building up its alternatives team to invest directly with approximately 25 hedge funds
Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) is taking an innovative approach to hedge fund investing, at least compared to its UK peers, most of which use funds of funds. The corporate trustee of the second largest pension fund in the UK, which plans to put 20% of its total assets to work in alternatives, has opted for the core-satellite system of hedge fund investing that will eventually see direct allocations of some $80 million apiece going to roughly 25 hedge fund managers.

Trail Blazers second-year center Meyers Leonard discusses his thoughts through the first days of training camp.
After avoiding injuries through the first two days of training camp, the Portland Trail Blazers lost LaMarcus Aldridge (left hip flexor strain), Will Barton (concussion) and Mo Williams (right ankle sprain) to various injuries on Thursday.
"I do what to be a more efficient scorer and I think I could do a better job of getting to the free throw line, maybe taking better shots," said Lillard. "I got real comfortable taking tough shots because I knew I could make them, but I think taking better shots and getting to the free throw line a little more (will help improve efficiency)."

Gary Peters enters race for U.S. Senate seat vacated by LevinBy David Eggert
Associated Press
Michigan Rep. Gary Peters has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat opening up with the retirement of Carl Levin.
Related links
U.S. Rep. Gary Peters on Wednesday announced his candidacy for retiring Sen. Carl Levin's seat, officially entering a Democratic field that has been all but cleared for his campaign. The 54-year-old three-term congressman is a former state senator and lottery commissioner who won bare-knuckle House races in 2008 and 2010. He is from Bloomfield Township in Oakland County, an area important to winning a statewide race. "This is a critical time for Michigan, and our main streets and middle class need an independent voice fighting for them," Peters wrote in an email to supporters. "Washington is a mess, but Michigan is on the verge of re-inventing itself with a new economy and a middle class that's stronger than ever — and I want to be on the front lines of that fight." Peters already has more than $800,000 to go toward his campaign. Debbie Dingell, a former General Motors executive and wife of Democratic Rep. John Dingell, recently opted not to run. Peters was expected to meet with reporters in Rochester in the afternoon. He said he is planning to stop in the Detroit area, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Flint later this week. The GOP's Senate campaign committee is hoping to coax seven-term Rep. Mike Rogers of Howell into the race. Other Republicans who have expressed interest include former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land and two-term Rep. Justin Amash, a favorite of tea-party enthusiasts and libertarians. Though Republicans control state government — including the governorship and Legislature — Democrats have fared well in federal elections in a state that has gone for Democrats in six straight presidential elections. Just one Republican has won one of Michigan's Senate seats in 40 years. Spencer Abraham's 1994 win came in a non-presidential election year like 2014 will be. Topics in this article:

Our advisers are there to help you make an informed decision and will tell you straight away if equity release isn't the right option for you.
Some points for you to consider before you take out an equity release plan:
- We offer a free no-obligation consultation with a local equity release adviser so that you can find out more about equity release and whether it is the right option for you.
- Releasing equity from your home is a lifetime commitment, and is only expected to be repaid when your home is sold, usually when you and your partner pass away or move into long term care. If you do decide to pay back early, early repayment charges may apply.
- Equity release may affect your entitlement to state benefits and could affect your tax position.
- Our expert equity release advisers can find out what effect, if any, it would have to help you find the best solution for you.
- All equity release plans will reduce the value of your estate.
- We advise that you involve your family throughout the whole process so you can discuss your plans with them. We encourage you to invite your family members to attend your free no-obligation consultation, as an opportunity for them to ask any questions that they may have.
- Many people don't wish to uproot from their family home and deal with the hassle and expense of moving. However, downsizing may be an option for you if you need extra cash and don't mind moving house. To help you with this, Keymove has been established to offer a unique service dedicated to making moving a hassle-free experience.
- Asking your family for money is difficult for many as no one wishes to be a burden on their loved ones. However, it may be the case that your family could help your cash flow during your retirement years if you are in need.
- There are other forms of borrowing, for example a loan or traditional mortgage, however you need to make sure that you are able to meet the monthly repayments. With a lifetime mortgage there are typically no monthly payments to make, with the loan plus all interest accrued paid when your home is sold. With a home reversion plan the percentage of the property you sold reverts back to your plan provider. This usually happens when you and your partner pass away or move into long term care.
- You could use other money you may be able to access such as savings or investments. Many people are worried about delving into this cash as the money has been saved to pass on as an inheritance to their loved ones or seen as an emergency fund should it ever be needed.
- At Key we recommend that you consider plans which come with a number of safeguards. This means that you will never fall into negative equity, are able to stay in your home for life and move to another property (subject to provider criteria).
- Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
- Lifetime mortgages accrue compound interest and the amount you owe can grow quite quickly. Our equity release advisers can help you understand how it works before you make any decision.
- Key Retirement Solutions offer a full advice and recommendation service to ensure you get the best scheme possible. Unless you decide to go ahead, our service is completely free of charge, as our typical advice fee of 1.65% of the amount released would only be payable on completion of a plan.
This is an equity release plan. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration.

I used one of my favourite Vogue Patterns – V8593, to make a smart and comfortable dress for work. This is a very fitted style for which I chose a lovely boucle fabric in chocolate brown. The dress has an interesting neckline detail which, though it appears complicated is actually very simple if marked out using a tracing wheel and two colours of paper. I have made this dress previously as sleeveless but decided to add dainty tucked sleeves which work well with the pleats at the neckline. The pattern for the sleeves was 'borrowed' from another pattern. I inserted an invisible zip, though the boucle fabric would probably have stretched sufficiently to omit the zipper altogether. As a bonus, this dress works well with a Linton Tweed Chanel style jacket I made previously and I usually wear it with a brown, snakeprint waist belt.

I can really recommend this pattern. I've mad it three times now with different stretch fabrics, sleeveless and with sleeves. It works really well and has been much admired. The neckline takes a bit of patience and it's really important to match the marking perfectly then tack stitch into place securely before applying the neckline facing. I hope you enjoy making the dress and look forward to seeing the result. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Mar 17, 2013, 08.57 PMby sewingentusiast
Excellent result. Well done! I ordered this pattern a few days ago because I like the neckline. Once delivered, I will work on the dress… Thank you for sharing your feedback on the pattern.

Generator sales jump after storms
Following the massive storms that have pummeled the D.C. region over the last few weeks, generators are in high demand.
For Lynne Fallon and Brian Maloney losing power was a bit like "camping."
"...but we survived It. We had a neighbor with a generator," Fallon said.
Now, she wants one of her own.
Fallon explained, "We live with an 87-year-old colonel, and he has a pacemaker. So, the heat, the inconvenience, it's just not healthy for him."
Thousands share the feeling. The number of people buying generators has jumped due to the massive storms.
David Delorge of Benfield Electric says they've been in high demand.
"From Friday 'til today, we've gotten over 7,000 calls," Delorge said.
Generators can be pricey. A portable, 10,000 watt generator can cost more than $800 retail.
Delorge added, "The problem with portables are they're not going to run a whole lot in your house, only a few lights and a refrigerator."
Looking to light up the whole house? Delorge says you'll need a 20,000 watt unit, but those can run around $10,000 to buy and install.
Delorge explained, "20k will usually run the majority of your house. Your lights, your refrigerator, your TV, your stump pump, computer."
If you're not sure how much wattage you want or need, check the side of the generator's packaging for a chart or check with the retailer.
"Buy one today! Don't wait 'til after the storm. For example, we're 75 days out," Delorge urged.
Generator upkeep is also critical. Owners must change oil and check filters regularly to avoid a breakdown during storms.
Installation takes two to three weeks. Also, check with your local jurisdiction before planning to install. Permits for generators are required in some cases.

Recipe by Pam-3BoysMama
"I developed this recipe when I had an abundance of zucchini and wanted a muffin to have with a chicken dinner. These savory muffins are great as a quick breakfast too! They're a hit even with those who think they don't like zucchini!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
I am the submitter of this recipe. I have just made another batch after receiving a less than stellar review. I followed the recipe exactly and had excellent results, again. My total baking time was 32 minutes. Some pointers to follow when baking anything - allow cold ingredients to come to room temperature (unless the recipe specifically states COLD). Cold ingredients drop the temperature of the batter resulting in longer baking time/underdone baked goods. This recipe calls for milk and an egg. I let mine warm up first (you can cheat here). Remember that oven temperatures vary, but the temp is always hotter at the top and cooler at the bottom. Opening the oven door repeatedly can also drop the temperature by up to 25 degrees. I do have one recommendation - if you use liners, I'd go with the foil type - the cheese in these muffins tends to stick to the paper. These are a moist muffin inside - there is yummy melty cheese all through.
I was really excited to make these sadly they were bland. It needs at least 2 to 3 more bacon slices and maybe and extra 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or even a sharp white cheese added. It also needs a tablespoon of mixed herbs such as rosemary and thyme. I will try these again with these alterations and update my post.

These looked nice but the only flavor was bacon. Certainly not worth the time and ingredients. There are much better recipes out there to use zucchini.
Didn't turn out very well. They were kind of gooey, sticky, (45 min to bake) and very bland. I will not make again.
My husband loves most anything cooked with zucchini but he did not like these muffins. Maybe it was the combination of the different ingredients? Don't know. As to the actual making and baking of them, I had to cook them longer than called for. When they were nice and browned and the toothpick came out clean, I removed them from the oven, only to have them sink. Will not be making them again.
Very bland. I should of drained the Zucchini , the added moisture from them made these too moist. Needs alot to give flavour.
My family liked these but I wasn't a fan. I thought they were a bit bland. Perhaps adding some chopped jalepeno would jazz these up enough for me to enjoy.
These were alright as I had to use frozen shredded zucchini. They were a bit bland until I used some butter and pancake syrup. It turned them almost into a sweet breakfast treat.

Oppo confirms 2K display for Find 7 smartphone
Chinese smartphone maker Oppo may fire the first shot as the war of next-gen displays gets underway.
