Bento. The Next Generation of Responsive Web Design: RESS. Technology is never stagnant.
All great technologies continuously evolve, and at a seemingly faster and faster rate. 20 Exceptional CSS Boilerplates and Frameworks. CSS frameworks have been the foundations of web projects for many years.
However, in the age of responsive design, a framework has even more benefits. A well-built CSS framework or boilerplate can streamline the design process, save huge chunks of development time and ensure your website scales properly on all devices. With so many choices available, though, it can be difficult to choose a framework to build on. It's important to consider the following when making a decision: whether you require a grid, and if so, will it be fluid or fixed? What level of customization do you require? GoodUI. Web Development. Highlight.js. Highlight.js highlights syntax in code examples on blogs, forums and, in fact, on any web page.

A couple of weeks back I covered some lovely examples of the flat web design trend.
Flat web design is something that I particularly enjoy, it simply means that the UI will use little very limited bevels, gradients and overly textured elements and often the overall effect of flat design is a clean, usable and intuitive user experience.

A website must clearly communicate its main solution within 10 seconds, to achieve several minutes of the end users attention. Visitors time-on-site will give you a good idea of the popularity of your website. The higher the time-on-site, the better chance you have for a high conversion rate. This is exactly why having a well designed website is critical.

DevTools Extensions For Web App Developers. The past year has seen many leaps made to improve developer productivity through better tooling.
We're paying increasing attention to our workflow and many of us have spent time optimising our usage of tools like Grunt, Bower, Yeoman and the terminal. Another important area worth spending time on is your debugging workflow – if you're like me, this starts with the Chrome DevTools. When building an application with a specific framework or language abstraction, there's actually some additional tooling available to you in the form of recent DevTools extensions. In this post, I'll share a quick summary of the latest developments in this area, ranging from the recent Ember extension Yehuda Katz presented at EmberCamp through to less well known extensions for Backbone and KnockoutJS developers.

Limits varied widely from less than a year to more than a year. The most recent buyer survey, completed a few months ago, found almost exactly the same result. That's not what we expected.

This Is How We Are Called
This Is How We Are Called
In the hours before the birds
stream airborne
with chiming voice,
a silent breath rests in the pines,
and upholds the surface of the lake
as if it were a fragile bubble
in the very hand of God.
And I think,
this is how we are called.
To cup our hands and hold
this peace,
even when the sirens begin,
even when sorrow cries out, old and gnarled,
even when words grow fangs and rend.
Cupped hands
gently open,
supporting peace
like the golden hollow of a singing bowl,
like the towering rim of mountains
this slumbering and mist-draped valley.

Forty-eight to Sixteen documents my daily commute from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan with sensors for my heartrate, breathing, and the cadence of my pedaling, along with chest-mounted video. Cellist Topu Lyo interprets my experience via a composition I derived from the sources that is precisely timed with the video. I am interested in 'performing' data and my and Topu's divergent but equally physical relationship to the information. Additionally, the physiological basis of empathy has implications for recent trends in media culture toward first-person viewpoints and the integration of biometrics into documentary.

The twelve Sun Signs of the Zodiac correspond to twelve equal segments of the calendar year (although the zodiac signs dates don't match up precisely to our calendar months). The first step in determining the zodiac sign compatibility of any match is identifying both your own Sun Sign and that of the other person, and understanding common characteristics of each of the zodiac signs.
Aries horoscope
As you read about your own zodiac sign meanings, and general characteristics of people who share this sign, take some time to think about how these characteristics actually make themselves apparent in your life and your choices.
Aries traits:
- Date: 21 March – 19 April
- Symbol: The Ram
- Element: Fire
- Stone: Ruby
- Planet: Mars
- Lucky colors: Red and Scarlet
- Lucky Numbers: 9, 13, 17, 25, 37, 45, 63 and 72
- Lucky Day: Tuesday
Next, when you look at the sign characteristics of a person in whom you are romantically interested, take some more time to think about things you know about that person, and how the traits you observe fit the sign to which they belong. Your own individual traits, combined with or interacting with theirs, will be the foundation of your assessment of horoscope sign compatibility.
People born under Aries horoscope sign are adventurous, outgoing, and active. They also tend to be very trusting, even naive, in their dealings with other people; and that trait remains intact even in the face of hardships or misfortunes, which makes an Aries wonderfully resilient. An Aries is more likely to be a "do-er" than a "talker," loves a challenge, and prefers a personal experience to a vicarious one.
- Mars, the planet which rules Aries, is a strongly masculine influence, meaning that even women born under Aries tend to be assertive and adventurous. They aren't shy about expressing their opinions and feelings, or (like Mars, the god of war) taking up a battle for their beliefs. This competitive nature shows itself in sports and other activities as well.
- Fire, the element associated with Aries, signifies enthusiasm, along with a burning desire to be in the game. They play as hard as they work, competitive and considering their needs first in most things they undertake.
- In love, an Aries abhors being restricted. Any romantic attachment that feels too possessive or restrictive might send the Ram bounding away.
Aries horoscope sign matches and compatibility
If you wish to attract the interest of an Aries, you'll do well with action and energy. You can't afford to be overly touchy or sensitive with an Aries–live big and enjoy the ride.
Here's what you can expect in a relationship between an Aries and…
1. Taurus
The Taurus tends to stay anchored in a comfort zone, while Aries is an adventurer. The two can find it difficult if they pull in opposite directions, but the relationship can provide an anchor of stability for the Aries and an invitation to new experience for the Taurus. If they strike the right balance, this can be a bang-up match.
2. Gemini
Both Aries and Gemini tend to be restless and anxious, and their combined desire to venture into new things can bond them. Gemini will likely be the talker for both of them, but still desires adventure and so will keep pace with the Aries in their quieter but determined mode of action.
3. Cancer
Cancer's introvert tendencies can make it a difficult match with extroverted Aries. The moodiness and sensitivity of Cancer may not be an easy fit with the bluntness of an Aries, but the generous high-spiritless of Aries may make up for it.
4. Leo
Leo and Aries admire each other's outgoing and adventuresome qualities–so long as they don't end up clashing with each other. Both of these two are accustomed to taking a leadership role, and they may have some difficulty settling into a pattern of behavior that suits both of them.
5. Virgo
It is their very opposite natures which can make these two a solid match. Aries provides the fiery tendency toward adventure, while Virgo nurtures quietly from behind the scenes, and basks in the possessiveness of the Aries, which feels comfortable and reassuring to the Virgo.
6. Libra
Aries and Libra can be chemically attracted by one another's passions and emotions, and their shared propensity for active social lives. One challenge for the pair may be the tendency of Aries to make snap decisions, compared to the Libra's preference for thoughtful deliberation.
7. Scorpio
A Scorpio's sensitivity may prove difficult when exposed to an Aries unbridled tongue, and the demand for Adventure by the Aries may prove difficult against the Scorpio's intense possessiveness, which can feel stifling to Aries. However, the tendency of both toward a positive attitude and the willingness to expend energy can be productive when they expend that energy on building the relationship.
8. Sagittarius
Aries and Sagittarius share optimism and enthusiasm, as well as a love of adventure and a penchant for communication. A Sagittarius often accepts with ease the dominating tendencies of the Aries, particularly since the Aries will pull them along on the adventures which both of them crave.
9. Capricorn
Capricorn and Aries share a desire to succeed, but very different approaches to achieving that goal. Capricorn is a planner, while Aries tends to jump into action. Aries expresses feelings, while Capricorn internalizes them. This can be a challenging pairing.
10. Aquarius
An Aquarius respects different ways of approaching life, and won't be inclined to stifle any of the natural exuberance or adventuresome nature of Aries. The intellectual curiosity of Aquarius keeps them interested in their partner's doings, and the two enjoy freedom within the relationship that can actually help them grow closer.
11. Pisces
A sensitive Pisces may have difficulty handling the forthright communication style of the Aries, while impulsive Aries may be driven to distraction by the inability of Pisces to make a decision. If the two can find a middle ground, the emotional support they provide one another can be a solid basis for relationship.
12. Another Aries
For two Aries to make it together, one generally needs to cede the leadership role to the other. Given the fiery nature of both parties under the shared zodiac signs, the relationship is unlikely to be peaceful or tranquil, but the energy which both of them brings to the relationship can be used to build the relationship itself.

Some of the clients seeking sobriety who have come to the Suncoast Rehabilitation Center have said this about their experience:
"I came to Narconon Suncoast because I knew I needed help or I was going to die from my opiate habit. This program changed my life and ultimately saved it. I learned how to confront my life for the first time. I recovered physically and learned the life skills I needed to stay clean. That was the first time in a long time that I realized I wanted to be clean of drugs. I've handled the problems that came about because of my drug use. Now I know that I understand how to stay sober." C.S.
"Now, I'm not only clean, I'm a better person, a better father, son and man. I'm healthy, happy and drug-free. I can think clearly and I can contribute to society and help others recover from addiction as well. This program has the best life skills training of any program out there." J. P.

Nicki Minaj Addresses Good Morning America Nip Slip: It Wasn't a Stunt!
Nicki Minaj had her first major scandal in August 2011 when she unwittingly revealed her left nipple while performing on Good Morning America.
Though she didn't address it at the time, the 29-year-old rapper publicly apologized for the nip slip on ABC's Nightline Monday. "I'm so sorry about that," she told reporter Juju Chang, denying rumors that the wardrobe malfunction was staged for attention. "People are ridiculous if they think that I would use that as a stunt. I would never, ever do something like that on purpose. I swear to God."
That's not the only rumor that bothers the "Starships" chart topper. When asked about the frequent comparisons to Lady Gaga, Minaj said she isn't offended -- just annoyed.
"First of all, I'm a rapper. I'm from South Side Jamaica Queens. What are the similarities?"
PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj's craziest hairstyles
When Chang, 46, cited their rainbow wigs as one example, Minaj shot back: "Wigs? Every female in this game wears wigs. . . Over-the-top costumes? Ehh! Try again."

Minaj said she's "getting tired" of being pitted against the pop star, 26. "In the beginning I was like, 'OK, it's cool,'" the rapper said. "Gaga's a fantastic artist. She's paved her way. She's opened her own lane, but I feel like I have my own lane, and we never cross -- ever!"

///AVIN Avant-2 Review - 1000 mile trip to Bimmerfest East
The E46 chassis is old, it has been almost ten yeas since the last E46 3 series was stamped, welded, and bolted together. Despite the age the E46 is still a formidable driving machine. When BMW went to develop the new 2 series, the E46 was the standard they were aiming for. The E46 M3 suspension and steering feel was a target for the F80 M3 and F82 M4. Yes, there are many neglected, forgotten and poorly modded examples, but there are as many showroom clean, perfectly modded models as well. Many of them on Bimmerfest.com.
In ten plus years car design has come a long way, but suspension is about the same and steering, don't even get me started on EPS (electronic power steering). What has changed is the electronics, modern cars are rolling computes with navigation, infotainment, and streaming music. The later E46 models came with first generation technology, if it was optioned up from the factory. Most have a basic "Business" radio, leaving you feel a bit in the stone age.
My 2003 E46 M3 was optioned up from the factory with navigation and bluetooth so I had some decent technology in the car, if it was still 2003. OEM automotive technology is always going to be semi-awful because of the long development times. From the time development work starts on the car to start of production can be as long as 5 years. After that the car is on sale for up to 7 years so a new car could have 10+ year old tech in it right off the showroom.
The stock navigation works, but address input was so painful I would seldom use it. The Bluetooth integration was finicky at best and flat out didn't work most of the time. 6 months of owning my E46 M3 I got so sick of the Bluetooth that I pulled the module so it would stop randomly connecting. 6 months after that the screen on my factory navigation went out. Clearly something had to be done, it is 2014 and I can't listen to Pandora in my car.
Enter the ///AVIN Avant-2, a factory fit and finish, plug and play replacement. What could be more perfect, a drop in replacement for the 10 year old stock crap. I, like any self respecting auto enthusiast hate the look of most after market head units. They look like some sort of space ship controls and never flow with the factory interior. Not the ///AVIN Avant-2, it is what the BMW would make now, if they were so fixated on iDrive. A 7" touch screen interface with radio, Bluetooth streaming, Wi-fi connectivity, and navigation. Did I mention it looks factory? The fit, finish and 'cool factor' are my favorite part of the head unit.
The install is plug and play with no wire splicing needed. If you have factory nav it drops right into the existing dash spot. If you have the standard radio you'll have to do a few more steps to convert to the factory nav setup, easy enough to do in an afternoon. The ///AVIN Avant-2 came with all the wiring I needed. I did have to run a cable and a antenna wire from the trunk radio connections to the head unit, again simple enough to do in an afternoon. There are some great DIYs so I'll skip over the install details other then to say it is easy and super clean.
Read more about the ///AVIN Avant-2
Powering up the head unit for the first time was like Christmas morning. I was so excited to explore all the features that the unit offers. With the ability to install apps to the head unit the functionality is almost limitless. I started with the basics; radio, bluetooth and navigation. The other features are cool in their own right but these are the three I most commonly use.
The radio is simple and intuitive and the sound quality seems slightly better then my factory unit. I can't tell you how much I love the touch screen for the pre-sets, no ugly physical buttons. The radio also show RDS data (artist and song name) when available. The slick wiring from ///AVIN means the steering wheel buttons work as well, so you can still control the volume and pre-sets from your left hand, I love it.
Bluetooth, it just works, I can't tell you how refreshing that is. I had a 2012 F30 3 series for awhile and the factory Bluetooth did not work this well. I have never liked the bluetooth phone audio, again it didn't even work in the brand new F30 3 series. I just use BT on the Avant-2 for audio streaming. The ability to fire up Pandora and listen to music on a long road trip makes me elated. I wish there was a way to have the system auto connect, but not for phone calls, that will probably come in a later software update.
For the navigation, and really the entire unit, I tested it out on my 1000 mile trip to Bimmerfest East 2014 sponsored by Turner Motorsport. As I mentioned before the factory nav was so difficult to enter I seldom used it. On the ///AVIN Avant-2 I just typed it in, like you would on a tablet or smart phone. The nav does need an internet connection, so I used my phone's hotspot. Having a USB cell modem for the unit would be the best and I plan on adding one soon. The navigation is Google maps that uses GPS data from the head unit so it works flawlessly. Just like a factory nav the turn directions cut into whatever other audio you're listening to so no concerns about missing a turn. Also if you lose internet connection the direction are cached on the unit, the maps might not update but it still knows where you are and the directions don't miss a beat. Having auto complete for typing addresses is awesome, again it was that Christmas morning feeling.
Over the 1000 miles I was presently surprised with how well the ///AVIN Avant-2 works. There are some little glitches here and there but ///AVIN is constantly sending software updates to fix any issues. It is basically like having a smart phone or tablet in your dash. After the trip, having turn by turn nav and streaming Pandora the whole way I was kicking myself for not having gotten this sooner.
Yes the E46 is old, but it doesn't have to be dated. The ///AVIN Avant-2 brings the outdated radio into the 21st century as a full featured infotainment unit. The value for price is outstanding, the fit and finish is factory and the feature set is more then you need. Don't spend any more time driving around with an old and out dated radio, do yourself the same favor I did and upgrade to an ///AVIN Avant-2.

Stocked catchable-size and triploid Rainbow Trout are primary targets. Jumbo-size rainbow (2-4 lbs/each) are stocked annually in the fall around mid-November. Previous sampling has shown a dominant Yellow Perch population, with many individuals exceeding 8 inches. Largemouth Bass are less abundant, though quality-size fish are present.
Two of the lakes are accessible to boat anglers, and the largest of the three has a WDFW public access with ramp and toilets located near the southeast corner. The lake can also be accessed through Beaver Lake Park (City of Sammamish) across the lake form the WDFW boat ramp.

Educating women is the single, most effective way to reduce poverty, improve health and economic well-being, and bring development to communities throughout the world. MGEF is focusing on the Maasai community in Kenya, where only 48 percent of girls enroll in school, and only 10 percent reach secondary school level. Persistent poverty and cultural belief systems perpetuate the subjugation of women, denying them basic human rights.
If you educate a woman, she will know her rights and have the confidence and independence to stand up for them. She will choose whom to marry and when to marry. She will have fewer children, and they will be healthier and better educated than the previous generation. She will not circumcise her daughters. She will have economic security. She will spend 90 percent of her income on her family, compared to 35 percent that an educated man would spend. She will help support her parents. She will not forget where she came from.
The economic, cultural and physical factors that combine to deny education to Maasai girls in Kenya are numerous and, taken together, almost impossible for all but the most determined girls to overcome.
MGEF has developed a comprehensive strategy to get more girls enrolled in school and to keep them in school until they have the knowledge and skills to enter the workforce in Kenya.
Your donation to MGEF will support the education of girls and their communities thereby promoting sustainable development and equality, and reducing violence and poverty.

Introducing the Go Skate Blog Status Report, a weekly article about anything news in the skate industry. From who got kicked off what to who did what down wallenberg, be sure to keep checking in for the latest in skate news and to keep yourself more educated than the snobbiest skate nerd on your block.
Terry Kennedy kicked off Supra and Braydon Szafranski kicked on? Rumor has it that Fly Society's TK is no longer riding for Supra and has been seen wearing Adidas. At the same time Braydon just signed a nice contract with them, in replacement of TK? I do not know. But I can't imagine the ridiculousness of a Szafranski Supra pro model.
Fucking Pro and Fucking Rumored. Kevin Terpening has just gone pro for Fucking Awesome and released a nice edit to go along with it, Congrats, Kevin.
Fucking rumored is that Dylan Rieder (who is no longer on Alien Workshop in case you've been hiding under a rock) has been seen riding Fucking Awesome boards on the Huf Australia Tour. Now this does not exactly mean he's on but we all kind of suspected him to follow in AVE and Dill's footstep. We'll just have to wait and find out.
Speaking of Pros! Tom Remillard also just turned pro for Expedition One. Expedition released a video in his honor. All about turning pro and his arm breaking 7 times on his journey to the gates of being a professional.
Everyone knows that rumors get spread like wildfire or like women in a sewing circle. Said women have been telling me that Youness Amrani has some big news coming his way. But lets not jump to conclusions, no one likes to spoil a surprise. Plus these women have been lying to me for years.
Put your "W's" up in the air 'cause there is a Wu-Tang x Huf collab coming soon (said to release on March 1st). We have it all here at Skate Warehouse so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for any more news on the product, which should be up on the blog sooner than later. Whenever we decide to open our 36 chambers.
If you haven't heard yet, Alex Olson has started a new company. He's yet to release the name of it but you can buy his shit from 9176922706.com. All his products are said to be of limited quantity and he's not remaking any of it so you better jump on this stuff while you can. I'm personally quite a fan.
Fourstar tours the Australian outback, well just Australia. The lovely clothing company is on tour in Australia and putting together a video of the whole thing called Crocodile Done Deal. We'll be sure to post it on the blog once we get our hands on it.
Getting baked in Europe? The Baker team is also known to be touring Europe as we speak. Personally I can't pass up a good Baker video, so I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Maybe if we're lucky Dee Ostrander will ollie two football fields this time.
A new hope for Globe shoes. Louie Barletta just released his new pro shoe for Globe. Personally I'm blown away. Normally I'll disregard a pair of Globes and not even give them a second look. But The Taurus makes me want to take every terrible thing I've ever said about them and throw it out the window. Well done guys, we should have two colorways on the site hopefully this week, plus a review to break these down on our blog, so stay posted.
Last but not least we have something just for the locals. The one and only Leo Romero and his band Travesura are rumored to be playing at Buffalo Bar and Grill on March 27th. So if you live in San Luis Obispo county you're in luck. And if not, it's just another reason to take a road trip.
Be sure to keep checking out the Status Report every week to get all of your latest news. Pick up all your skate goods at Skate Warehouse in the mean time.
Sorry, nothing here!

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) -The City of St. Louis will officially take over its own police department for the first time in 150 years.
Since the Civil War, the department has been under state control, but back in November, voters approved "Proposition A," which gave that control back to the city.
Chief Sam Dotson says residents should not notice any changes in service, but that overtime, some duplicate positions held in both the city and the police department may be cut.
"Anybody employed by the Metropolitan Police Department will be employed under local control," he said. "No city employees will lose their job under local control. But over time, as people retire or move on to other careers, some positions may be consolidated and that savings can be reinvested back into the police department."
The state-appointed Board of Police Commissioners will meet for the final time on Saturday.

Website: http://www.theprecinctvicpark.com.au
Disclaimer: This post is largely overdue, so please note that some of the things mentioned here may have changed in a positive/negative way.
It was a catch up between the bloggers that was somewhat overdue (too). So after making some arrangements, the final headcount for this evening was between the Perth Food Journal and her partner A, as well as Perth Munchkin with her partner GG. Miss L wasn't able to make it to this one, so it was just me.
Perth Munchkin had made a booking for us this evening, and since i was the first to arrive, I started taking some photos of the place, and found it to be really well decorated, with this vibe of funkiness running through the joint.
Before long, PFJ and Munchkin came along. As we deliberated through the menu, we as hungry souls were eager to try almost everything on the menu, and so we thought, "why not just try everything and share?!". Genius. (: But we also did some filtering work for those items that we were not going to have for certain.
We also ordered a bottle of wine, which came to a light red wine that would complement PFJ and my preference and Munchkin's preference for white-but-ok-with-light-reds.
Our orders for the evening:
- Bottle of Alozano Tempranillo 2010 – $42
- Basil & balsamic octopus, baguette – $14
- Lemon pepper, rosemary popcorn – $5
- baba ganoush dip, tortilla crisps – $9
- cauliflower risotto, marscapone – $14
- Sliders duo – $12 (we had two serves)
- Chicken wings, nam jim – $14
- ham hock terrine, piccalilli – $16
- raw brushcetta, almond mayo – $12
- Fries – $9
- Truffle mac & cheese – $12
- mixed vegetables, salsa verde – $7
- Banoffee pie – $12
- chocolate truffles – $6 (complimentary for us because of a story that I will explain as we move along…)
Yes it sounds like a whole lot of food for four people (A was delayed so we started without her)… but we managed just fine. *wink*
The bottle of wine was observed to be a little over room temperature, which left PFJ a little unsettled. I found the wine to be nice and light. Temperature wise, I wasn't too fussed, but I can't say that I am a real wine drinker, so I left it to PFJ.
I won't go into details of all the dishes because there are so many, but the ones that did stand out for us were:
- Sliders duo
- Fries
- Truffle mac & cheese
The sliders duo were awesome in that the meat patty was so tender and moist, and there was a good punch to the flavour of the slider. One of the better sliders I have tasted for sure, and I'd eat both of those sliders myself if I ever had another meal here!
The fries were awesome and well seasoned. The texture, crisp, left us all hanging out for more. A ordered a serve for herself (with the sliders) when she came and liked it as well. So definitely a winner for all.
The truffle mac & cheese was the pleasant surprise of the evening with the truffle aroma just travelling through the kid's favourite. This made the dish go from a "G" to a "PG"! I personally loved it. And I'm not even a mac & cheese fan.
The biggest disappointments to my mind were:
- Popcorn
- Chicken wings
- Octopus (according to PFJ and PM, I didn't have any)
- Banoffee pie
The popcorn turned out to be a little stale, and I would have preferred if a little more effort was made into putting the popcorn into a bowl, rather than presenting it as a takeaway item in a bag. I quite like the flavour, but because it was stale, it just didn't cut it.
The chicken wings were average and a disappointment because it looked so much better than it tasted. I would have loved a little more marination on the chicken.
The octopus was named the worst dish of the evening because of the texture and overall taste of the seafood. I had a smell of the jar and wasn't too impressed. Definitely not a winner.
The banoffee pie was a deconstructed dessert, which we hadn't known before, so this took us by surprise, and in the negative direction unfortunately. There was a tad too much sweetness (although banoffee pie is meant to be sweet) for me. A little too little banana taste too.
The rest of the dishes were really quite average, and I wouldn't be ordering them again if I were to come back to this establishment.
The one thing we were rather impressed with was how the floor manager (this was our assumption on the evening) came and interacted with us, checked on how we liked our food, and upon hearing our comments on the ones we were disappointed with, she then explained the concept of the place, and how there were dishes on the menu that are created as deconstructed dishes from the norm that people would expect. She offered complimentary coffee for us, with which we politely declined because we were not really keen for coffee at the point. Then she came along with some truffles that were complimentary for us. At this point, we were all impressed with her level of service. I was personally comforted that despite us telling her negative comments on the food, she just took it all in, and even offered something to make the whole experience a little better.
Overall, the Precinct was more of a disappointment than a happy-ever-after ending. But I'd like to do a shout-out to that floor manager who took care of us and listened to us that evening, making the whole experience a pleasant one despite the less than desired palate experiences.

Fort Reserve (Adena Earthwork) – in our neighborhoodPosted by smb under Adena People , Maps
No Comments
Thank you for sending us the two images of the Adena Earthwork (I'll call it Fort Reserve, using the name given on the Indian Springs plot, or more simply the earthwork). I have superimposed the plots to more accurately place Fort Reserve (see image above). There are slight discrepancies in the two plots, particularly with the location of the unbuilt portion of Yaronia Drive South. Based on these plots, the Ravinia article (Fall 2003/Winter 2004 issue), and some local information, I'd like to make the following comments and observations:
1. The Wynding Drive subdivision (all houses on Wynding Dr) is named The Fort Reserve Subdivision, after the earthwork.
2. The Indian Springs plot shows a proposed street named Wyandotte Drive (between unbuilt Tionda Drive and Yaronia Drive South). Could this be a possible explanation why Wynding Drive is spelled with a 'y' — a variation of Wyandotte?
3. The Indian Springs plot shows the earthwork a bit north and slightly east of the colored circle on the GIS plot.
4. From the Ravinia description: The earthwork consisted of a 400 foot diameter circular embankment with a contiguous inner ditch in 1953 the embankment was only 2 feet high and about 17 feet wide. Within the embankment were two mounds. The first, near the SSE edge of the earthwork was 6 feet high and 60 feet in diameter. The second, near the NNE edge of the earthwork contained a burial site and a circle of post holes about 40 feet in diameter.
5. From my examination of the Ravinia diagram, I believe that the northern mound was about 60 feet in diameter and the southern mound was smaller, about 30 feet in diameter.
6. The superimposed plots show the embankment center located a few feet north of where the driveway of 4017 meets Wynding Drive (I'll use house numbers to avoid confusion; all addresses are on Wynding Drive).
7. The center of the southern mound is on the SE corner of 3999, about 15 feet from the curb line.
8. The center of the northern mound is in the front yard of 4032, about 6 feet east of the large boulder on the curb.
9. The opening of the earthwork appears to be located in the back yard of 4029 and slightly north to 4039. This concerns me, since the terrain drops off very steeply in this yard 20 to 30 feet into the ravine. I assume that the earthwork would be located entirely on the high ground (on nearly level terrain). For this reason, I wonder if the true location of the earthwork might be 15 to 30 feet east of the plotted location. This would place the opening on more level ground (near the rear walls of 4029 and 4039).
10. The terrain covered by the earthwork is now extremely level (varying by only a foot or two). Much of the leveling could be recent, resulting from grading during the construction in the mid-1950's. For example, a mature red oak tree in front of 4029 grows from a 2 foot deep tree well, suggesting that the front yard was raised by that amount.
I am interested in any comments you may have.

50 pc parents think their child's weight is normal, even if it's not: Study
A new study has found that one out of two parents ignore their child's weight problems and feel that his or her weight is normal, even if it's not.
The European study of parents of 16,220 children in the ages 2-9, also found that four out of ten parents of children with overweight or obesity are even worried that their child will get too thin.
In pediatric nurse Susann Regber's dissertation at Sahlgrenska Academy, the parents were asked to estimate their child's weight status and health, and to describe their own worries about their child's becoming overweight or underweight.
The parents' perceptions were then compared with the children's actual measurements.
The studies show that around 40 per cent of parents of children with both overweight and obesity are worried that the child will become underweight.
Among parents of children who are already underweight, the proportion that is worried about it is 33 per cent.
One out of two parents of a child with overweight in Central and Northern Europe perceived their child's weight as normal and in Southern Europe, the same figure was 75 per cent.
Regber said that how parents perceive their child's weight status is of major significance to being able to promote a healthy weight development.
Many parents simply do not see the increase in growth, and are dependent on objective information from, for instance, child welfare centers and school health care to act, she said.

TiSP SX vs iso900 SX
i have one iso 900 before,and i felt it is even head heavy than ti 10 2U,and some say its head is not so heavy, and many like this racket, but i am one who like light rackets such as TiSP SA and i use most arm power,i dun rely on the heavy heaviness of a racket to generate a powerful swing,,and a question to anyone who has both rackets,which one has a heavier head?

Re: TiSP SX vs iso900 SX
From my experience, 900SX is much heavier than TISPSX, never tried TI10.

they responded to this one earlier on the list so I figured I would help out a little. According to webby, they require that the video be made using their software for a couple of reasons. 1. The biggest one that I can tell is that it avoids people just uploading a video to their profile to create a fake profile (still can create the fake profile but it helps weed them out a little easier now). 2. They are now certifying members validity based off the video. Since the video must be created using their software, they can be pretty secure that the profile is of the person/people they say they are. Especially if they have pics on their profile that match the video. I know also from our own experience that they will only certify a couple if both people are on the video. Zo.

Student Academic Policy and Procedures
Exchange students often find the U.S. academic system to be quite different from home: class size is usually fairly small; students are required to prepare for each class; there will be exams and written assignments during the semester as well as a final exam; final grades are often computed on the basis of written or oral work, exams, and class participation; and the grading system is different. Perhaps the greatest difference is that BC students take classes in a broad range of subjects. A typical student will take no more than 2 or 3 classes per semester in only one subject area, even if that is their major subject or specialization; exchange students are expected to do the same.
Accepted exchange students take classes alongside their Boston College counterparts and choose courses from the regular BC offerings in the arts and sciences, business, education, and nursing. With permission, a few highly qualified students may be allowed to take classes at one of the BC graduate schools.
While every effort is made to enroll exchange students in the courses requested on their applications, no guarantees can be made. Exchange students are urged to be flexible about the subjects and classes they take, and to be certain that they have had any prerequisites required for each requested class. Due to high demand, the Economics Department will only guarantee registration in one class, and the Finance Department will allow enrollment in no more than two classes per student.
The information sheet How to Find Courses will be helpful in selecting classes.
Questions about classes should be directed to email@example.com rather than to individual faculty members or departments.
Most classes are assigned 3 Boston College semester credits and meet for 45 hours per semester. Full-time undergraduate exchange students must take 4 or 5 classes per semester, for a total of 12 to 15 BC credits per semester, depending upon the requirements of the home university.
Boston College adheres to a strong policy regarding ethical academic behavior. A full list of polices may be found on the Academic Policy and Procedures website and exchange students are advised to familiarize themselves with it. Students who are found in violation of the academic integrity code will face the same disciplinary implications as regular degree-seeking BC students.
The Boston College grading system is alphabetic rather than numerical; however, each letter grade has a numeric equivalent as follows:
A= 4.0; A-=3.7; B+=3.3; B=3.0; B-=2.7; C+=2.3; C=2.0; C-=1.7; D+=1.3; D=1.0; D-+.7; F-0; W=official withdrawal from class.

What You Can Expect
Likely to Sell-out! Alcatraz regularly sells out weeks in advance. Book ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
This enthralling day trip takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge for a view of San Francisco from Vista Point, then through the coastal mountains to the Bay Area's popular Muir Woods. This national monument is the site of a virgin forest of California Coast redwood trees, among the oldest and tallest on earth. Take the opportunity to roam through an ancient forest of giant redwood trees on your 75-minute visit of Muir Woods.
Next, it's time to take a stroll along the waterfront of quaint Mediterranean-style Sausalito, considered the prettiest village in California. You'll have 30 to 45 minutes to browse, shop and take photos at your leisure in this picturesque artists' colony nestled on the northern shores of San Francisco Bay.
Your tour also includes the ferry ride to Alcatraz Island and an audio walking tour of the "Cell Block". This former federal penitentiary was known as "The Rock" and housed gangsters such as Al Capone (Scarface) and Machine Gun Kelly. You'll learn about the famous escape from Alcatraz, the prison's notorious inmates and much more on this tour.
Alcatraz sold out?
Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito & Escape from the Rock Cruise
When Alcatraz is sold out, book the next best option and upgrade your Muir Woods tour to include the Escape from the Rock Cruise. This 90-minute bay cruise sails under the Golden Gate Bridge and then circles Alcatraz twice allowing you to get up close and see every angle of this mysterious island.
You'll hear chilling accounts of harrowing escape attempts by Alcatraz's notorious criminals as well as their descriptions of the brutality of life on the island. This special San Francisco bay cruise featuring sound effects and intriguing stories about Capone, Billy Cook the Killer, Clyde Johnson's Alcatraz escape attempt and many more, will take you back to the days when this maximum-security prison was the most feared institution in the American penal system.
Please note: the Muir Woods Tour & Escape from the Rock Cruise does NOT include a ticket to Alcatraz
- The tour schedule for the day depends on the availability for Alcatraz. For example, if Alcatraz is available in the morning, the tour commences at the pier to begin with the Alcatraz portion. If there is no availability for Alcatraz in the morning, upon arrival at Fisherman's Wharf you will commence with Muir Woods and Sausalito and then continue to the pier for Alcatraz in the afternoon, returning at leisure
- The Alcatraz portion usually takes approximately 2 hours to complete, with the audio tour consisting of approximately 45 minutes. You are advised to inquire on your arrival to the island as to what time the next guided tour will begin. There is no restriction on the amount of time you spend on the Island. The ferry boat service departs Alcatraz every 30 minutes and you can disembark at your own leisure
- The Escape from the Rock Cruise departs Fisherman's Wharf at 11:30am, leaving 1 hour after conclusion of the cruise to relax at Fisherman's Wharf before the Muir Woods tour departs at 2:00pm
- The Muir Woods and Sausalito section consists of at least 4 hours in total
- There is a 1 hour and 15 minute stop at Muir Woods. Passengers may choose whether they wish to walk the trail or not. This short, self-guided walk takes approximately 30 minutes
- The stop in Sausalito is 30-45 minutes at leisure

September 2015
The tour was great. Everything went off without a glitch. Especially enjoyed our guide, Manny. He was very informative and attentative to all present. Would recommend this tour but need to book early to get the Alcatraz tour which was wonderful.
September 2015
Another tour well recommended Antonio our guide went out of his way to show us the scenery
August 2015
Alcatraz tour was exceptionally informative and interesting, whilst both Muir Woods and Sausalito were beautiful with fantastic scenery.
July 2015
Brilliant very enjoyable a must do if your in san francisco, Could not recommend this tour more.Thanks for the memory.
July 2015
This was a wonderful one day excursion. We really enjoyed it. The service was great, the driver was fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone with limited time in San Francisco. If I could arrange it for optimal pleasure, I would do Alcatraz first, then Muir Woods, and end with Salsalito. We only had 50 minutes in Salsalito because the driver had to rush us back for our 1:30 Alcatraz tour. We just made it. Would have like more time in Salsalito.
July 2015
It was a well organised and informative trip, especially Alcatraz. A throughly enjoyable day.
June 2015
The tour itself was very enjoyable. However, either the tour operator or Viator did not order us tickets for the Alcatraz Tour and we had to pay for them ourselves and then be reimbursed. A hassle we thought we wouldn't have if we booked a tour! All said, I would recommend taking this tour. No hassles with finding parking places anywhere!
June 2015
The tour guide was amazing. Funny, informative and helpful, would definitely recommend this

The feds have no such evidence, spokesman Jeff Dorschner said, because they are just beginning to comb through the 10,000 images on Dave Moe's computer along with more than 400 CDs found in his Denver home.
Moe is on administrative leave from his job at the exclusive Paddington Station preschool, where he's been a teacher for 18 years. He was arrested July 24 by federal agents working off information collected during an online sting.
Last Saturday, Paddington leaders sent an email to parents suggesting that Moe's alleged actions were believed to have been confined to his home.
"At this time we have no indication that any wrong-doing occurred on school grounds or with any Paddington students," the statement read in part. "At this time, {prosecutors} do not have reason to believe that he ever produced images. Obviously that is among our greatest concerns, and if any of that information changes, we will let you know."
"The statement that they are confident that there were no pictures taken is false," Dorschner said. "We just don't know if he had taken pictures at the school.
"Computer forensic analysts have a substantial amount of media to review. At this point it is very early in their investigation and we do not know what the content is on that media," Dorschner said.
Paddington responded to the prosecutors refutation Monday promising the school's commitment to "a complete, transparent, and through investigation."
"Throughout this challenging time we are making every effort to inform our community of the facts surrounding David Moe's arrest," the school's Monday statement read. "Our statement Saturday informed parents and alumni that at this time, there is no information indicating Mr. Moe's activities occurred on school property. If we are informed that this has changed we will notify our community immediately."
Moe appeared in federal court Monday. He will appear again on August 7 when prosecutors are expected to ask a judge to deny him bond, citing a danger to the community.

Paddington parents, some of whom have been highly critical of the school's handling of the incident, have started a letter writing campaign to the judge.
The school continues to decline to discuss what happened ten years ago when Moe was accused of inappropriately touching a three-year-old female student in the bathroom. Prosecutors said nothing was proven but were unsure if the school ever reported the incident to authorities.

Is this Melbourne's hippest bar? Who else has an email address starting with aperitif@...? Bar Ampere was inspired by the early 20th Century futurism movement of Paris and Italy! Bar Ampere is also inspired by Madam Brussels and Gin Palace and Collins Quarter as part of the Vernon Chalker dynasty.
The establishment is next to a sub station in Russel Place – hence Ampere brings in an association with electrical current. Which also seems to fit in with the futurism emerging industrial theme (I'm thinking…)
I visited Bar Ampere with workmates of all things for breakfast. We were amazed Bar Ampere would be open from 7am to about 3am. Somebody has to get up really early!
Everything here is hip and stylish! The place itself is amazing! How to describe a row of hands coming out from the wall with light fittings attached? How to describe some sort of vintage circuitry board on the wall? How to describe hip tables with draws containing cutlery? This places oozes hip.
The logo is classic with the caption DANGER. MADNESS. So I was looking around the whole time to see where the danger lay…
The breakfast options were impressive. A couple of us went for the Soldiers, a humble breakfast of single boiled egg and brioche with 3 types of salt. The presentation was astonishing on a silver tray with the brioche stylishly stacked and the salts lined up to produce a visual sensation. The egg was amazing – I'm still trying to work out whether it was actually infused by something?
My colleague tells me the Croque is also good!
The coffee was also excellent. I was told it's one size – but the one size is large!
Bar Ampere is well known for its European drink selection and overall wine list. I'm keen to try the Chicken Dreaming dish sometime or maybe some preserves. This place is slightly eccentric!
We were shown through the secret tunnel out to the Gin Palace next door (another place to meet friends for a drink). On the way we visited the newly established Swamp Room with it's interesting furniture creating yet another space.
Service is friendly and engaging here with the barman looking immaculate at 8am with crisp shirt and neatly done up tie. He was the guy that gave us the tour.
