Snow and ice storms produce an average accumulation of 15 inches annually in Alexandria, generally spread over several events in a typical winter. City staff track potential storms 24 hours per day, and on-call City crews and contractors are available to begin working in 12-hour shifts when winter weather is in the forecast, and continue working on snow removal during and after the storm. Clearing city streets and sidewalks is a difficult process that takes time, hard work, and good communication between residents, business owners, and the City. The City clears snow from 560 lane miles of roadways, 20 miles of publicly owned sidewalks, walkways, and pathways, and 44 acres of municipal parking lots and publicly owned squares. (Typically, alleys and non-municipal parking lots are not part of the City's snow removal operations. View this map for snow removal priorities.) Download your own copy of Snow and Ice Control information for Alexandria.
Also, check out the Health Department's tips for preparing your family for winter weather.
As the 2014-2015 winter season approaches, emergency response, including snow and ice removal operations, continue to be a top priority and core service for the City of Alexandria's snow response teams, public safety and emergency management.
The City's winter weather emergency classifications are based on type and accumulation of precipitation with severity ranging from Level 1 (least severe) to Level 3 (most severe). The classifications are based on similar systems used widely in other jurisdictions. In Alexandria, the City Manager may declare a snow emergency and implement parking restrictions at any level.
City crews treat and plow primary roads (which include snow emergency routes) followed by secondary routes (including hills). After these priorities are addressed, crews will begin plowing residential streets.
Sidewalks, driveways, and entrances are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, occupant, community association, or business for snow removal. Snow and ice must be cleared from all paved sidewalks abutting your property within 24-72 hours of the end of the snowfall, depending on the storm response level.
The City of Alexandria urges residents to exercise caution while cleaning up after winter storms. Strenuous physical activity can increase the risk of illness and injury, especially heart attacks.

Is this for men or women??
A shopper on May 14, 2013
Best Answer: I am a woman using Fig Leaf & Sage. I would describe it as a soft
subtle herbal spicy blend. I prefer a fragrance that is not too sweet,
something that is fresh..... that does not announce me before you see me.
I am on my second bottle.
4711 is a fragrance that has been around for eons and was worn, and
is worn by both men and women.
Fig Leaf & Sage feels more modern and complex.

Either. I think the beauty of kiehl's is that most products can be used by men and women. I ended up returning this because its just not my style scent. It's very earthy and robust. That said, it smells great for men or women, it just depends on what you're looking for in a fragrance.
It's unisex! At least I hope so. Otherwise I'm wearing a women's fragrance and no one told me. Worth noting: I get compliments, and no ones said I smell like a lady!
It's for women and it smells wonderful. It's not a heavy fragrance. I get lots of compliments whenever I wear it. I also use the lotion which I love.
This fragrance is very clean smelling but It has a slightly "sweet" smell that I think women would prefer and men may find feminine.
Definitely a scent for women...a mysterious fragrance...almost like an exotic dessert
Can I get the fig and sage fragrance in a smaller size?
A shopper on Mar 24, 2015
Love this blend, I'm so happy with the size of the bottle. Wish I can have a small size too for my travel bag!
I found a smaller size in one of their sampler sets with other fragrances.
Spray bottle?
A shopper on Aug 10, 2012
Best Answer: Yes, standard fragrance mister. Beyond that, definitely recommend. L'occitane green tea mint was my scent for years until it was discontinued over a year ago. It took me about that long too find Kiehl's fig leaf and sage and this will be my only scent now. Hopefully they'll keep making it.
I recently purchased the Aromatic Blends: Fig Leaf & Sage. When I got home I noticed on the box it said Aromatic Mist, not Aromatic Blends. Is this the correct labeling for this product? I'm hoping it's not an "old" box. Please advise...
Thank you,
Thank you,
Arlene A on Oct 17, 2013
I want 3 aromatic blend samples when I purchase the original musk oil, why won't it show that on my check out area?

Person conceived of breeding between two closely related couples, or someone with a very weak gene pool, but usually the former. Places famous for being rather inbred are some remote or scummy parts of the UK (where the chav population is high) and US redneck areas. This is a great shame for both countries as both have a typically wide gene pool due to different peoples settling over many hundreds of years. Also, royal circles are rather inbred too, for legitimacy reasons.
Eugh, look at the inbred...actually, second thoughts, don't.

A practice where closely related family members produce children. Because of this, the genes inherited may cause problems for the child where the child's genes may have suffered due to the lack of genetic diversity.

Eleanor's Library
No knitting today, if you don't mind. Knitting soon. Books today.
You may recall that a little while ago I wrote about buying books for a colleague's daughter, newly turned thirteen. In that post, I delineated at length my opinion of most novels being published for the not-a-girl-not-yet-a-woman market. In brief, they want to make me gouge out my own eyes with a grapefruit spoon.
I don't wish to retract a word of what I wrote, although one or two commenters did make me wonder whether I ought to have been nicer about Meg Cabot. Thanks to your dizzying 194 comments, I did think deeply about the books we read when young, and how dear they can become to us.
I turned from my desk and faced the five-foot Victorian case where I keep humor and children's books, with Eleanor's Library on the topmost shelf.
To tell you about Eleanor's Library you'll have to step back with me to the early nineties, when I was a recent graduate working for starvation wages at New England Conservatory in Boston.
One good thing about starvation wages: they really teach you to focus your spending. I was quite the thrifty housekeeper in those days, making one chicken and two dollars' worth of vegetables bought from the stalls at Haymarket last for a full week. I didn't eat in restaurants, I didn't go to movies or theater, and I didn't buy clothes that weren't marked "final clearance."
Looking back, I wouldn't have minded so much, really, except for one thing: the budget left me little or no money for books.
When I really couldn't stand it any more, I'd let myself shop a little at the Brattle Bookshop near Downtown Crossing. In the vacant lot next to its tall, old building, the shop would wheel out a fleet of library carts piled with hundreds of books in absolutely no order whatever. They were unguarded and totally unprotected from the elements. These were the rejects, acquired en masse in estate sales and deemed unsellable at retail prices.
And every book cost a dollar.
However, on the money I was making even that was too pricey for more than carefully planned visits. I was pretty careful to stay off Winter Street if I hadn't made sure of my finances in advance.
One day, however, I slipped. I was in the neighborhood to buy dress shoes. My only pair had crumbled to dust. I had to either replace them or go to the office barefoot in February. I got the shoes, but was left with eight dollars: enough to just pay for food until my next check arrived three days later.
It was an awful feeling, and I walked toward the subway in a gray stupor, head down. Passing Winter Street, something in me snapped. I felt sick, and I needed a book to make me feel better. One book. One damned book, or I might well go insane. Surely, I could spare the dollar. Far cheaper than a month in a mental hospital.
I'd been among the carts for about ten minutes when I spotted a decorated spine with the title Hester Stanley's Friends. I picked it up; the cover design was classic Edwardian:
I was surprised to see it outside; normally the Brattle (and most shops) charge a premium for this sort of artwork. Looking inside, I found this inscription on the flyleaf:
I was torn. On the one hand, this was a splendid binding. On the other, it wasn't something I was likely to read. An interesting curiosity, yes. But my circumstances did not permit spending on interesting curiosities. I decided to put it back.
Then I noticed the book next to it. Another decorated spine: Kitty Landon's Girlhood.
Inside, an inscription:
I looked at the shelf again. More decorated spines. Inside each, the same name the same bold script. Somehow, in the midst of all this chaos, these six of Eleanor's books had landed together in a neat row.
My heart started beating. For a bibliophile, this was a moral quandary. I felt like I'd stumbled over a basket of abandoned, infant sextuplets and been asked, "Which one do you want to save from certain death?"
I pulled them all off the cart and held them, debating. I wondered who Eleanor was. I imagined what these books might have meant to her, since they'd been kept together all this time. I wondered if she'd sold them herself, or whether they simply arrived in a mass shipment after her estate had been broken apart.
I looked at the inscriptions again. Eleanor. Eleanor. Eleanor. From Mother. From Uncle Bill. A Happy Birthday. A Very Merry Christmas 1911.
And then it started to rain.
I was hungry for a couple of days, but a sense of Having Done the Right Thing can be very sustaining.
This has been a long post, longer than I intended. More about the books themselves will follow, if you're interested. Plus knitting, I promise. Believe it or not, the christening shawl has grown.

You are leaving us wanting more, that is for sure. I would love to hear more about the books, and have you ever found out anything about Eleanor?
I would like to see the christening shawl as well.

Welcome back online, and here's to your good health. Love your writing, Franklin. I feel as if I'd been to the Saturday matinee to see the latest Flash Gordon serial...I'm on the edge of my seat, chastened that I have to tune in again, to find out MORE!
- PennyZ said...
Definitely more about the books. I am a great fan of late 19th/early 20th century novels written for young women/teens.
- KnitNana said...
I'm not surprised that you decided saving the books was more important than food...
I have some of my grandfather's books with similar inscriptions. He was a poet and walked all over Vermont selling his self-published books from a little cart. And then spending the grocery money on more books for the "feeding the minds" of his 8 children. (They all excelled academically, of course)
I can't wait to hear more about Eleanor! Do you know more about her??

Nice, very nice. I greatly enjoy it when you write about books.
I am just the same, cannot pass up an obviously well-loved book (or old, odd book, or almost any book, for that matter). I once found a copy of a children's book called Beyond the Snow, by P. Fishe Reed, published in 1873. Cost me all of fifty cents. Inside are the following inscriptions:
To Sarah E. Boyce
For a Birthday present
From the Author
P. Fishe Reed
Edward Cole Durfee
from his Grandmother

- Melinda said...
Yes, please more on the books...I've occasionally had that feeling of being connected to another place and time when finding an inscription in a book. They do carry some sort of identity, some spirit, across the years...so yes, more please. You've got me going to my shelves to revisit some old friends.
And so glad you are on the mend. - 3:17 PM

I too, would have done EXACTLY the same thing!!! GMTA!!! I would have gone hungry for as long as necessary to save them from being ruined in that rain :)

ACK, this is like an unresolved chord! I'll be eagerly awaiting the continuation of the tale. Did you ever find out anything about Eleanor? Are the books first editions? Are the stories they contain as rich as the bindings? You actually could write a young person's book based on this real-life adventure!

What a lovely story. I often wonder where the used books I stumble upon have been - who loved them - how they came to be discarded. It's a sad fact of life that when one passes, the possessions loved so much are considered just so much crap to the beneficiaries. One more thing crazy Aunt Beatrice clung to.
I buy them all. All I can afford.
But the most painful things to find at yard sales and estate sales (worse even, I think, than old family pictures): grandma's recipe file box. I buy them and cry over them each and every time.

Please proceed with the story. I too would have gone without the food in favor of the books. I love to rumble around the local antique shops and garage sales looking for knitting books and gardening books.

The mother of "the other Eleanor" thanks you. And besides, a little starvation helps you keep your youthful figure.
- Misstea said...
I seldom comment, but this post moved me to tears. On Sunday, I connected, after 13 years, with the woman who taught me to knit. And, she loved books.
I know exactly what you mean, and your reverence for artwork and binding is very similar to hers.
Thank you for reminding me of yet another reason why I am glad to have found her again. - 7:04 PM
- Deb said...
You are a kindred spirit, Franklin.
- Mary said...
I buy up very old autograph books -- there's something so sad about them. Young girls with their books so full of the future now turning to dust. I can't bear to see them--the young women and their books--sitting on a shelf unappreciated.
- Janet said...
wonderful account Franklin. Thanks so much. Keep us posted if you get any more information about those books and their owners/provenance.
- Anonymous said...
Do tell us more about the books. I have scads of books. I've purchased a lot of them at a big annual charity book sale we have in St. Louis. I wasn't able to go this year because I lacked funds. Nearly broke my heart but I knew there was no point in going when I couldn't buy anything. Last year I spent $40 there.
- Mary Lou in Central New York said...
More, More, More!!!
Also, take a look at A Northern Light, by Jennifer Donnelly, the next time you need a gift for a teen girl. Wonderful story. No fluff. Amazon has a good editorial review.
Who was it that said something like "If I had to choose, I would buy a book and a flower to feed my soul, rather than a loaf of bread"?
Thanks, Franklin, for being you. - 8:40 PM
- Stacy said...
Franklin, I love your way with words. Over a decade after the fact and many states away, I am very gratified that you did the right thing.
I'm glad you're on the mend. - 8:58 PM

What everyone else said. Not a dry eye in the house here.

Tell us more, tell us more! I love a good real-life mystery, especially one that involves books.

I'd have done the same thing. Strange the mixed feelings we have about the days of intense poverty in our past.
- Riin said...
Sometimes you need food for the soul more than that other kind.
- lizbon said...
Oh what a beautiful story. And there happens to be a young woman named Eleanor who is very dear to me in real life. I love it.
- stash haus said...
Remind me to show you my father's prep school latin class textbooks sometime. I just couldn't let them be thrown out.
I also have my Grandmother's copy of The Settlement Cookbook, given to her for her wedding - in 1925, I think. - 12:08 AM

There is that familiar quote..."When I have a little money, I buy books. And if any is left, I buy food and clothing."

Oh, more Eleanor, please!
- Carson said...
Made the right and only choice- it makes for a great story.
You couldn't blog about "Great peanut butter sandwiches I have eaten"
(although I suppose some do).
But this you will always have. - 4:53 AM
- MonicaPDX said...
So glad you're feeling better! And what else could you have done about Eleanor's books?
I've have gone insane long ago without books. Whenever money's been close to nothing, I've frequently needed a book more than food. I know it's a trite quote after being so overused, but hyacinths for the soul... - 7:47 AM
- Mini said...
I have "rescued" a few books from that Brattle Books myself. Now, my bf likes to go across the street to the Antiquarian bookshop. Oy! talk about needing to stay on budget!
- sue said...
Franklin, you write so beautifully. I wish I had the pleasure of knowing you in real life.
- Cindy in Happy Valley said...
I cannot claim the bibliophile title, however, I too harbor very deep affection for the books we read (or were read to us "Mr. Grabbit the Rabbit" comes immediately to mind) as children.
Favorite gifts of my husband's are the vintage Chip Hilton sports books. Any time I am in a quandry about a gift I search for a Chip Hilton book, in good condition, from the 40's. Alas, in the last few years they have become very dear. - 9:18 AM
- Deborah C. said...
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better! I would have done the same - those poor orphan books sitting in the rain, not to be thought of! Hunger was a cheap price to pay for the rescue of Eleanor's Library.

Hi Franklin - I would love to hear more about the book Hester Stanley's Friends . . . because my name is Hester S. Actually a different last name, but this is the first time I have ever seen a book about another Hester S!

Tears in my eyes. Bless you, Franklin. I have rescued books from rainy yard sales, but my triumph was buying a book I had sought for 30 years from eBay, and it was the
exact volume, with my great-great- grandmother's notes still pinned to the last page! (Blasted relatives didn't even ask if we wanted anything.) - 11:41 AM
- Mel said...
Let me just chime in - yes, 100% totally and completely interested in hearing more. If there is one thing I love doing more than knitting, it's collecting and reading books. The smell of the graduate library stacks at UW is in my top ten of favorites.
- Mary said...
what comes next? do tell, do tell....
- deepa said...
I am so glad Eleanor's library ended up with you. You chose to feed the soul over the body- I'd have done the same.
Glad you're better! - 12:03 PM
- Sean said...
I really liked this post, Franklin. I love that there is a connection to the past through these books — what ever it was. I used to buy old Time Magazines with Barbra on the cover at that Shop! It was great, I can almost smell that old-book-smell.
Sweet, sweet post! - 12:07 PM
- yarnkat said...
I loved your story.
My husband and I are going through the arduous task of moving, and as we clean out the clutter and try to pare down, apart from my knitting stash, it is the bookshelves that give him the most pause. Every very time he asks, "Do you really need that one?" I have to say, "Yes. Yes I really do." Books are such rewarding treasures, and hard to let go or pass by. Enjoy your collection! :) - 12:30 PM
- geogrrl said...
I love books like that. I'm so glad you rescued them, Franklin. I likely would have done the same thing.
- Anonymous said...
You so have a way with words...my heart was in my throat thinking, ohhh I hope he saved them, I hope he saved them, I hope he saved them...in a few short sentences you managed to make me fall in love with Eleanor's books. Lovely story and I know what it is like to seriously sacrifice food for the love of something (books, yarn, plants) non-essential to life, but absolutely essential to one's soul.
- Peggy in Conshohocken said...
Please, do continue this lovely story, Franklin. You brighten my day, no matter the topic. I came for the knitting and stay for the delightful wit and wisdom. Take good care of yourself. You have been missed.
- 5elementknitr said...
How lovely! I'll take books over food any day.
- Red said...
Good for you! Tell us more.
- Seanna Lea said...
I have never been to Brattle Books even though I work down the road from there.
I used to work in a cruddy dental office, and across the street was an old used bookstore. I would go in once a week or so to explore the dark corners of the store and escape the ringing phones. Being surrounded by books was a soothing anodyne to a hectic world. Hm. I need to go book shopping again. - 3:19 PM
- David said...
Boy, I'd lived that budget more years than I'd care to think. Glad you are feeling better.
- Anonymous said...
You were the perfect savior for those books. Please keep the story line going for us. I walked past that shop by mistake (got on the wrong street for the errand I was on) the other day, but it was crappy Boston weather and I kept going. Guess where I'll be spending a few summer lunch hours!
Glad you're on the mend - have missed you. - 3:22 PM
- Kristen said...
Yes, you had to rescue them. I would have definitely done the same, even if it meant a month of ramen. BTW, Nancy Pearl has a new book guide out aimed at the adolescent set. It's called Book Crush.
- Ann said...
You are simply, absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
- email@example.com said...
I can't pass up a good book sale either. In 1984 I picked up a copy of "Knitting Without Tears" by Elizabeth Zimmerman for the price of $1.00. The rest, as they say, is history. I consider it the best single dollar I've ever spent. Glad you are feeling better.
Joey Prosick - 5:21 PM
- Sandy said...
how lovely that you saved them...I have a set of my greatgrandmothers that I treasure but have mostly not read
- sonja poor said...
An absolutely wonderful story. Glad you saw them, glad you bought them, glad you keep them. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy you are feeling better.
- Cara said...
As someone who owns (or is close to those who own) A LOT of items (cars, clothes, shoes, 1950s magazines) from a woman none of us as met your story made me tear up a bit.

- canknitian said...
I'm very interested and cannot wait to hear more about Eleanor.
Also, the Arnold Lobel quote proffered by Sharon Rose is new to me and perfect. Maybe someday I'll paint it on the wall of my (for now imaginary) home library and cover it up as I collect new books. - 10:45 PM
- Cherice said...
More about the books!! I love old books and would have spent my food money to rescue those books too.
Glad you're feeling better. - 11:17 PM

Another Eleanor here. I would have tried to do the same thing...
- Carol said...
Thank goodness you were there to save those books! Can't wait to hear more.

You make me happy, sweetie. Many of my days in Boston involved a grumbling stomach and an armload of treasures inscribed to someone else. It was necessary.
Glad to know you're feeling better. - 9:57 AM

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I'd love to hear more about the books, and if you found out anything about Eleanor!

As one who has bought a book with a pretty cover just for the pretty cover.. And as one who has bought a book with a pretty cover b'c it contained the name of a relative on that cover.. I look forward to hearing more of this tale.
- Katje said...
Yes, more please! I'm in tears at your story... and I'm so glad you did the right thing!
If thou of fortune be bereft,
And in thy store there be but left,
Two loaves, sell one, and with the dole,
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul

For me, books are the things that feed my soul. Well, those and wool... - 1:44 PM
- Rosane said...
Oh, Franklin, what a beautiful post. I know exactly the feeling you describe and have succumbed to it a few times. I think I'll look at some of my 'finds' when I get home from work today.
Take care,
Rosane. - 3:55 PM
- Faith said...
How precious! I look forward to hearing about the books in future posts.
- Puttermeister said...
I think your long posts on are a wonderful thing--a treat to look forward to. Thanks so much for a great anecdote that evoked so many memories.... I can't wait to read more.
- Mary said...
I picked up a copy of a Jennifer Jones biography at the Brattle. It had been a gift from Bill Blass. His note was on lovely monogrammed stationary, still inside the matching envelope.
- FiberQat said...
Food can be scrounged. Books like that can't. Good choice.
- Judi said...
I really enjoyed reading about Eleanor's library and got warm fuzzy feelings knowing that it is now safe and well cared for.
- Laiane said...
I would have bought them, even without the rain.
I stumbled across your blog today -- not sure how I got here. If all your posts are as intriguing as these few I've just read, I'm looking forward to reading much more from you!
Laiane - 12:51 PM
- Karen said...
This clinches it.
You are, in fact, ME, in a swarthy-Mediterranean-gay-man's (lovely) body.
The Stephen Fry clock is ... well, ... brilliant.
And if the pre-recorded phrase about "the Earth's pleasure" ... "only requir[ing] your presence" doesn't have the same impact as "do me again," well,...
The world's still a slightly imperfect place (viz: Threadingwater's amazing, but sadly necessary project).
I am whipping out the credit card as we speak.
(No, for the clock, you nasty man!)
Thanks for another *fabulous* post, yet another in a long string which I felt compelled to read aloud to my fabulous Spousal Equivalent (who, sadly, does not have a brother, but a lesbian sister, who will not suit.).
Doctus decorusque es et te amamus, Franklin!
Good luck ending the indentured servitude.
The knitting world would only prosper. - 10:49 PM
- owl knits said...
I am inspired by your work, and the way you make putting a shawl together sound so easy.
Plus, I work in downtown Boston and still cruise the books in the empty lot next to the Brattle Bookstore. - 1:09 PM
- Anjie said...
Thank you for saving the books! Eleanor is my daughters great grandmother!! We were with her on her 100th birthday and she died soon thereafter. If you are interested in selling the books to us please let me know as I know my daughter would love to have them!! I found this post because my daughter is applying to her GGrandmonther Alma matter (Wellesely College)and we did a google search. Eleanor loved books, she was a women ahead of her times! Thank you again

President and CEO John Ryan Retires After 12 Years on Board and Three as President and CEO
Alexandria, Va., Mar. 19, 2015 –John Ryan announced his retirement today and is stepping down as president and CEO of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, effective today. Ryan, 61, led the organization since June, 2012 after serving more than 12 years on its board, most recently as chairman. In 2012, Ryan was asked by the NCMEC board to lead the organization after its long-time president, CEO and founding chairman retired. Linda Krieg, NCMEC's chief operating officer, will serve as acting CEO while the organization's board of directors launches a nationwide search for Ryan's successor.
Since becoming president and CEO, Ryan led a campaign to fight child sex trafficking in this country, raising awareness with Congress and a multitude of organizations. As the sale of children for sex shifted from the streets to the Internet – through online classified sites like Backpage.com – Ryan led a crusade to help stop the sexual assault of children. "Defenseless children in this country need help," Ryan said. "It's unacceptable that the most vulnerable in our society have become victims and their innocence lost."
In 2013, after the Penn State Jerry Sandusky scandal, Ryan spearheaded "Safe to Compete: Protecting Child Athletes from Sexual Abuse." The summit, co-hosted by the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, brought together youth-sports organizations and issue experts to discuss child sexual abuse prevention. This national summit, held at NCMEC's headquarters, brought attention to this issue. Attending the event were many national youth organizations, who have made protecting child athletes from any kind of abuse, their top priority.
"John's commitment to America's children throughout his career – and in particular to the mission of NCMEC – is greatly appreciated," said John Walsh, NCMEC's co-founder, long-time victims' advocate and TV host. "We thank him for dedicating so many years to our cause."
Before joining NCMEC, Ryan worked for 16 years with AOL Inc. as senior vice president and deputy general counsel. While at AOL Inc. Ryan led the Public Safety & Criminal Investigations Unit and served as a liaison with law enforcement. There, he coordinated investigations and prosecutions of criminal activities, including Internet crimes against children. Prior to joining AOL Inc. Ryan was the director of investigations at AT&T Wireless in New York. He also worked for 14 years at the Office of the Bronx District Attorney, New York, where he served as special assistant district attorney and chair of the organized crime task force.
About the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is the leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working with law enforcement, families and the professionals who serve them on issues relating to missing and sexually exploited children. Established in 1984 and authorized by Congress to serve as the nation's clearinghouse on these issues, NCMEC operates a hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST® (1-800-843-5678), and has assisted law enforcement in the recovery of more than 205,550 children. NCMEC also operates the CyberTipline, a mechanism for reporting child pornography, child sex trafficking and other forms of child sexual exploitation. Since it was created in 1998, more than 3.3 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation have been received, and more than 132 million suspected child pornography images have been reviewed. NCMEC works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. To learn more about NCMEC, visit www.missingkids.com.

You join under your full responsability, you have read the rules and adapt to the way the group is run.
Not far away from Barcelona, there are plenty of very nice areas (Montserrat, Montseny, Garraf, Serra de la Marina, Collserola, Cingles del Berti, La Mola, Núria).
The Group's name HIKES del MON is coming from a Mix between English for Senderismo/Hiking and Catalan Mon (for World).
Mainly we will try to get to the places using public transport.
The challenge I have set to myselft is to DO something proactive. I have seen how many people just talk and talk or try to trick other people,
My proposal is that YOU become part of a project, that you enjoy outdors and you contribute to a real good cause supporting the NGO Aldeas Infantiles (http://www.aldeasinfantiles.es).
The challenge is to collect money to support the NGO
To attend a hike, you are requested to contribute with 5 Euros/hike > here is the website for the donation (just press on the red button "Donar"):
Link to donate to Aldeas Infantiles
or find all the information in the PDF File: Info how to
Remeber that you can donate anonymous or with your full name (you will see as soon as you press the button "Donar" that a table requesting your date shows. If you fill it, then Aldeas Infantiles will sent to you the Certification of Donation that you can clear in your Taxes > For all the amount you give to Charity you can deduct 25% > so if you give, for instance 10 Eur, this is costing to you 7,5 Eur because you will get back from taxes 2,5 Eur

Oriental print shift dress: Sportsgirl
Clutch: $10 from a dodgy Asia-based seller on eBay
Heels: ASOS Hysteric
Cuff: ASOS
Necklace: Vintage from Etsy
As soon as my wandering eye rested upon this pink floral shift dress hanging in Sportsgirl, my heart tattooed this dress and the words 'Be Mine' above its asscrack. I put it on layby on Wednesday thinking that I wouldn't pay it off for a week or two in an attempt to delay money being spent and wasted, but the very next day I received my first paycheck from Brent Wilson and the dress travelled home with me on the train that same night (the rest of the paycheck went towards Herbal Essences shampoo/conditioner...HOLY HELL DOES MY HAIR SMELL GOOD).
In love with how it hangs and the vibrancy of the print - although my sisters are adamant that it looks too "Asian" and I look like a "seven year old" (strong irony coming from my eight year old sister...)
I've got my eye on a bright floral Zara kaftan-esque dress and an Anthropologie floral shift dress on eBay...I hope you guys like dresses because I won't be wearing anything else. Minimal effort, maximal prettiness.
Met up with a bunch of beautiful bloggers today for some Saturday arvo lychee sangria at The Winery in Surry Hills. It was the first time I met some of them and all of them are such lovely girls. Good conversation and good sangria makes for a nice afternoon (I didn't even flush red...I moderated how much I drank. And by moderate I mean I drank about 1/4 of my glass of sangria while Em next to me chugged the shit down like it was water).
Afterwards we all convened in some Surry back street and went a bit too camera-crazy. The whole time I couldn't get out of my head how ridiculous we must've looked and how gen y - seven girls all whipping out DSLRs simultaneously when the food arrived and seven bloggers running around an alleyway all brandishing cameras and taking outfit photos (Joelyne's Instagram photo sums it up).

The worst movie ever made. It's lack of good dialogue, props, and storyline make it so bad, it's good. It is one of the most entertaining pieces of cinematic stupidity ever made. There is an entire episode of Seinfeld about it.
That movie is funny, but it could never compare to Plan Nine from Outer Space.

Was: $Now: $
Buy 2 or more for $79.00 per racquet.
The racquet of choice for ATP touring pro, Nicolas Almagro, the Biomimetic 500 Tour provides comfort and performance from all areas of the court. The 100 square inch head offers excellent pop and forgiveness, while the 16/18 open string pattern allows for good spin potential. From the baseline, our test crew was impressed with the mobility and ease of swing, being able to get plenty of racquet head speed. The HM6 technology in the frame, offering better shock absorption, provides a solid feel through the strike zone. There's plenty of spin to be had off both forehand and backhand sides. At net, the maneuverability continues, allowing the ability to easily get the racquet in place for solid volleys. There's plenty of putaway power with this racquet for sitter volleys.

Royal Marine (British Special Forces). Known to each other as "Royal" but the rest of the British Forces know them as bootnecks. This nickname is derived from them cutting the top from a leather boot and wearing it like a modern neckbrace to stop sailors cutting their throat while they guarded officers on board British sailing ships in the days of old.
"Don't anoy those Bootnecks over there unless you want to wake up with a crowd round you!"

text: JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE -On Thursday January 24th, Oscar winner Matt Damon exacted his revenge following a decade of torture by hijacking Kimmel's late night show and renaming it "Jimmy Kimmel Sucks." Damon showed Kimmel how it's done by packing his one-evening-only late night turn with comedy and a cavalcade of A-list stars. Damon replaced Kimmel's longtime sidekick Guillermo with legendary actor Andy Garcia, his best childhood friend and bandleader Cleto with multi-Grammy winner Sheryl Crow, and packed his couch with such Hollywood notables as Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore. Plus special guest appearances by comedians Robin Williams and Sarah Silverman. Even Ben Affleck stopped by to participate in the big night, though his allegiance was torn between childhood friend Damon and former paramour Kimmel. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC. (ABC/RANDY HOLMES)

This artifact is a signal processing device designed for use in the first generation of Milstar military communications satellites.
To meet weight and space constraints on the spacecraft, the design achieved complex function in a small size by the use of layering. Beneath the visible surface of electrical devices and connections are three additional conducting layers (and six non-conducting layers). The buried conducting layers provide additional pathways for connecting the electrical devices on the hybrid's top layer. The completed hybrid is an ingenious puzzle in which more than fifty chips and devices are integrated through more than one thousand connections. The gold-colored wire pins on the sides of the case connect the hybrid to a circuit board or electronic device.
This design represented the state of the art in miniaturization for such hybrids as of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Lockheed Martin donated this artifact to the Museum in 1998.

A scam where a waiter/waitress used the same check for two tables, one which was never entered into the system. They then pocket the cash from the table never really billed.
When the double dropped table asked why their drinks were incorrect, the waitress said she entered it wrong but they're the same price and that satisfied the customer keeping the scam secret.

In most drum 'n' bass tracks - there is what is known as a 'drop'. A double drop is where the DJ manages to get both records (or maybe more) to reach that drop at exactly the same time - thus creating an intense mix.

Apple released the third beta of its iOS 7.1 software (build 11D5127c) to registered developers today. Apple released the first iOS 7.1 beta for developers in November bringing with it a handful of UI tweaks, performance improvements, and accessibility features. That release was followed by a second iOS 7.1 beta in mid-December which brought button shapes as an accessibility feature as well as a calendar design mirroring iOS 6 and prior.
We'll update you of changes as we come across them. Leave us a note in the comments or at firstname.lastname@example.com if you find something interesting as well.
-Tweaked Phone, Messages, and FaceTime icons (darker, less harsh like current call banner in 7.1 beta 2)
-Parallax can be disabled for wallpapers (found when setting new wallpaper) [my wallpaper]
-Phone now has a new dialer and answer UI (lots of circles)
-New (richer) Repeat and Shuffle buttons
-New power off UI
-New dialogue in Safari 'Search or enter an address' now reads 'Search web or enter site name'
-New 'New' button for creating iTunes Radio stations in Music
-New reduce white point option in accessibility contrast settings
-New backspace/shift highlights (Thanks Daniel) and bolder keyboard as seen below:

I hope the Bluetooth A2DP is fixed in beta 3. I have had no sound in beta 2. It did work in beta 1.
You should always re-pair a device after a iOS update, regardless of version.
I find that solves most issues. A2DP has worked flawlessly with 4-5 of my devices
I did try that in desperation. Didn't work. Oddly, iMessage and normal phone calls still work, just the A2DP is silent.
Also in settings the passcode and fingerprint settings have their own icon and are not in the general settings
whats new !! i am not a developer so stuck on ios 7.1 beta 1 and jail-broken it !!! having fun :)
Wait are you able to jailbreak 7.1 betas? I hadn't tried and was too afraid to end up bricking my device.
7.1beta1 installations will deactivate themselves on 15th January so don't forget to save your data!
yeah best downgrade to 7.0.4 and rejailbreak if you don't want to get suddenly stuck without a phone. I don't know if I'd call getting a copy of a beta stealing. It's not like Apple charges for it when it's released and he's not using it to develop any kind of app with intention of making money himself. I think you guys are being a little hard on him. I for one am not a developer but I do pay for a dev account to be able to run betas for my own amusement (although not right now as I want to keep my jailbreak). But I don't really have a problem with him doing it for his own personal use. It's not like he pirated a copy of Windows or something. For all you guys know he has a friend who IS a dev and just registered his device so he could play around. Don't be so quick to judge people.
thanks a lot bro. i reverted back to ios 7.0.4 :)
ur a life saver :*LikeLike
Yea I guess you're right Clint.
I am sorry, Zoheb.LikeLike
you can just remove the "ReleaseType" key from the SystemVersion.plist file to avoid Lockdown deactivating your device ;-)
There is just so much wrong with iOS 7 that I'm not even interested in point upgrades anymore. I will simply wait and hope that iOS 8 actually fixes things and makes things more useable. It needs more than bug-fixes and UI "tweaks" it needs some large-scale rethinking to a large degree.
– the horrible grey, muddy pull-down from the top that provides no useable information and is so ugly it burns your eyes just to look at it.
– the horrible semi-transparent pull-up that provides access to a bunch of features I don't need, but then ruined access to the one feature I actually do need all the time every day (brightness)
– the labels that are actually buttons and the buttons that are actually labels
– the fact that in many apps the "back button" is a tiny left facing chevron located exactly in the area where the hardware is tuned to "ignore touches."
– the absolutely hideous, black animation that happens when you are downloading/loading an app.
– the loss of cover-flow view in iTunes (which I used every day, multiple times a day)
– the fact that cover-flow wasn't replaced by anything that could actually be considered a useable replacement (that served the same or similar function in a reliable way). Turning the phone on it's side now only shows a random and incomplete display of album covers.
– the re-worked "remote" app which now can't stay connected to AppleTV for more than a few minutes at a time.
– the re-worked Safari app that is such a UI mess that it would take paragraphs to describe.
– game centre still cannot be effectively disabled
– clock app still won't let you set a clock for any more than a few dozen cities world-wide (this was actually broken in iOS 6)… and not technically anything to do with iOS 7 … but why, why, why can I *still* not get rid of "swipe to open"? On a privately owned iPad, that never leaves the house it's entirely, completely, and stupidly redundant.
I, and I think many others, have absolutely no problem with any of the "issues" you mentioned. To be perfectly honest I find most of them to be incredibly nitpicky. Sorry to say you're in the minority here, Chief.
Mr Grey is right.. you guys are wearing the emperors clothes. If you think iOS 7 is an improvements you are insane. The software has never been as unreliable, hard to use and just plain inconsistent. Don't be clouded – you don't have to look very far to find problems. I have always loved Apple – been a fan since 1980. We have been though this "New Thinking" before and it cost them big then… and will cost them big now (except this time there will be no one to save them). As momentum dies Android will continue to kill iOS – and idiots like you who pretend nothing is wrong will be the cause of it.
Yes, agreed with Mr. Grey. I also think iOS 7 from a distance looks more like a kid drew it.. iOS 6 was more.. more intelligent and more serious looking. And also, not only Game Center can't be effectively disabled, but it looks horrible with those bubbles.. I liked it more in iOS 6.
I updated but my dialer doesn't look like that. It's solid white. I made sure "decrease contrast" isn't turned on. Not sure what's up.
This makes me the most sad. As I was updating, I was secretly wishing for some surprise system-wide dark theme, to replace all that white. Why can't we have options? *sigh*
All I want to know is whether it fixes the tab switching issue in Safari and this issue across the whole of iOS7. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5404451?start=0&tstart=0
How about Safari constantly crashing on the iPad Air? Probably the biggest issue I've ever seen with an Apple product. Pretty sad.
I sure hope the Evasion team (or Saurik's team) have an exploit up their sleeves to jailbreak this when it's released. Some of these options seem pretty nice.
I want the old folders back without the limit. the old folders are way better than what they changed it to. the only thing good about the new ones is removing the limit.
Not at all a fan of the new phone and dialer redesigns….in fact, I think it's awful. What are they doing? Are people really fat fingering the answer/decline and call/hangup buttons so much they have to reduce them to circles? And the new slide to answer/slide to unlock…ugh.
Phone App > Keypad (Dialer) > Start entering a number
You will see a new + button on the left to save the phone number.Really useful! Why?????
How many times have you dialed someone's number and called them just to put the number in your Recent Calls? Now you can input someone's number and create a contact right then and there without going to Contacts first.
It's little things that make Apple the company it is…
I am not a 7.1 beta user, but I would like to know if the Camera flash issue is being addressed (or already been taken care of). Infact, I am not sure how many users are facing this issue, but the Flash simply doesnt work sometimes. Using 7.0.4 on iPhone 5
If you choose "motion off" while setting a wallpaper, does it not zoom in on the picture anymore?
Also, does this mean I can set the parallax effect off, but still have the zoom in/out animations on folders and app opening/closing, or does it still disable everything like the "reduce motion" option does right now? Thanks.LikeLike
Nice article. By the way, a guy here, copied your article and translated it in romanian:
Some other changes not posted here:
New flash icon in the Camera app that appears in dark environments
Control Center and Notification Center have more of a bounce when they appear
There's a bug in the Notes app that prevents text from blurring behind menus.You can see screenshots of these and more here:
The new phone screens look just terrible, and don't fit to any other part of the OS!
Apple please fix it!!!
I liked the way they look in 7.0.4LikeLike
Seemingly missed by most tech blogs are the new on/off labels (under accessibility) – I personally think its a good move to more clearly distinguish between the toggle states than previously.
"It has some changes related to setting wallpaper. Parallax can be disabled for wallpapers (found when setting new wallpaper)."
I don't think that this, however, changes the way iOS 7 zooms in the selected wallpaper. Also you have to wait till may be March for iOS 7.1 to go public. I would suggest that you use this app which has lot of wallpaper related options like creating blurred, gradient, dotted gradient, color wallpapers & more. And also fixing the zoomed wallpapers. You won't waste a dollor on an app that just fixes zoom wallpaper. If you are interested. Its Wallax App.
Can anyone with an audiobook check if Apple has corrected the problems iOS7 created. Namely, are chapters viewable again; and is there a scrub bar for each chapter rather than the almost useless single scrub bar that makes it a PITA to try to find one's place. There is also a problem of the music player not finding the correct place to continue the book once you have moved to another app, or switched to bluetooth and back again.

Transfer to Bachelor's Degree Programs
Northern Virginia Community College's talented faculty and low cost make it a great place to continue or take that first step toward a bachelor's or advanced degree.
We offer the following degrees to students who plan to complete their freshman and sophomore years of college work at NOVA and then transfer to a four-year college or university to complete their junior and senior years of a bachelor's degree:
- Associate of Arts (AA)
- Associate of Science (AS)
Note: Applied degree programs (AAA and AAS) are not designed to transfer, although in special cases graduates of applied programs may be able to transfer.
Transfer Planning
It's never too early to begin planning for a smooth transfer to another institution. The longer you wait to make a decision, the more you risk delaying degree completion. All students are advised to speak with a counselor before they enroll in classes.
Our counselors will help you to select a program of study, identify schools and understand the transfer requirements for the degree program at your school of choice. In addition, they'll let you know which NOVA courses will transfer and help you to create a schedule based on those courses.
To ensure a successful transfer:
4 Semesters Before Transferring
- Speak to a counselor/advisor as soon as possible to assist you with choosing your major.
- Review all of the Guaranteed Admissions Agreements. Note: Students must complete a transfer Associate's degree to be eligible for the benefits that the Agreement provides.
- View special Articulation Agreements NOVA has with several four-year colleges and universities.
- Investigate Transfer Guides offering your intended program.
- Learn about general education requirements and lower-division components in the curriculum at institutions you are considering.
- Begin looking for scholarships, discounts and other ways to meet costs. Check out Virginia's Two-Year College Transfer Grant.
- Start your math (based on your program of study), and writing (composition) sequences as early as possible, as they are common requirements across most programs.
