February Golden Transfer
This month's Golden Transfer goes to Charlie Tiebout, a retired full-time and current part-time Metro driver (notice a theme this week?). In his years at Metro, Charlie has driven almost every route in the system, but in the last 15, he's stuck mostly to North Base routes: 31, 41, 65, 66, 67, 68, 71, 72, 73, 76, 77, 79, 312, and 306.
Back in his full-time days (1973, to be exact), Charlie was Metro's first Santa.
I asked Metro if it was okay. …

Speaking of bus drivers…
Yesterday I attended the first day of a two-week class for bus drivers who are converting from part time to full time. (The part-time class, during which they actually learn to drive a bus, is six-weeks.) It was cool to learn a little bit about how Metro operates from the inside, and it was really cool to spend the day with 24 bus drivers.
What I learned (the condensed version):
• You have to be a part-time driver before you can be a full-time driver. Part-time drivers have set hours and tend to be assigned to the straightforward (and relatively …

"The Tiger Woods of the system"
According to my new, second-favorite* driver, that's the 48, because it's a "long drive with a short putt to the beach." The thing is, a long drive with him at the wheel wouldn't be half bad. The man kept us entertained over the loudspeaker for the entire (not-so-long) ride on Friday afternoon, announcing landmarks and businesses of note at every stop. At Union, the transfer to the 2 ("you know how those lake routes are"); at Cherry, Catfish Corner ("wouldn't mind a piece of peach cobbler …

A bus rider's glossary
Speaking of transit-inspired language…
[Note: This post is updated regularly as new terms are added.]

Transit-inspired language
In May of 2005, Bus Nerd and I took a trip to Paris. I speak French fairly fluently and so gave him a few lessons (enough so he would feel comfortable ordering in restaurants and reading the odd sign) before we left. He decided, in true nerd fashion, to practice his newfound skills by speaking only French on the trip–even to me.
On the RER ride from the airport, which was taking longer than he expected and …

My 48 ride home
The bus is late and crowded, so I am forced to sit in the very back.
To my left: Two dudes rolling joints, counting change, and discussing the relative fluid levels in their lighters.
To my right: A young woman talking on a cell phone, apparently to another young woman who is taking care of her child. She alternates between coaching the caretaker in the fine art of potty training (Ask him if he wants to go poo-poo.), giving orders to the child over the speaker (Darrell, I'm not playing–you'd better eat that …

The new transit advertising debate (or, Bus wraps: "so last year.")
Because I'd like to see more and better public transportation in this region, I'd also like to see more–and better–sources of public transportation funding. In my ideal world, we'd fund transit with gas taxes, parking taxes, tolls, and congestion charges–instead of just sales tax. For now, I'll settle for advertising as a source of revenue.
Which brings me to my point…
In December, the King County Transit Advisory Committee, "an appointed County board drawn from King County Metro Transit riders,"

Big (yet fashionable!) shoes
Unlike my Gail, my mother was not a bus chick sympathizer. Truth be told, she didn't much like the bus or my decision to ride it every-dang-where. And truth be told, I often wished she was more interested in my ideas about sustainable transportation than she was in my ability to coordinate belts and purses. But despite our surface differences, she was an amazing role model for me, a model of courage I didn't fully appreciate …

Another cool(ish) bus tool
Am I the only one who didn't know that Metro's website lets you create custom schedules? Probably, but just in case there are one or two others: Go to any route timetable; click the "custom print" button at the top of the page; and then choose the direction, window of time, and stops that are important to you. I just made custom schedule for the 8 and one for the 4. Easy. For a bus chick, even fun.
This feature would be amazingly useful (Finally–a …

Effective July 1, The Joint Commission will roll out a series of scoring changes to 45 elements of performance (EP) within its accreditation standards.
The majority of the amendments adjust the environment of care (EC) and life safety (LS) standards, which generally fall under the responsibilities of your safety officers and facility directors.
Other affected standards include:
The Joint Commission reviewed standards scoring earlier this spring, said George Mills, FASHE, CHFM, CEM, senior engineer for the accreditor. Mills spoke during a Joint Commission Resources audio conference June 3.
Some criticality levels altered
The changes—which were published in the June issue of Joint Commission Perspectives—center on The Joint Commission's criticality scoring levels and scoring categories. Here's a quick rundown of criticality levels by number:
Eight EPs within the EC and LS standards have been upgraded from indirect to direct impact requirements. "Occasionally we felt things were a greater risk, so we changed [them] to direct impact," Mills said.
For example, standard EC.02.03.05, EP 11 requires hospitals to test their fire pumps every 12 months and will be a new direct impact requirement as of July 1. Joint Commission officials felt this was an "extremely important test" that warranted a higher criticality ranking, Mills said. In fact, fire pump failures are often noted by Joint Commission officials as situations that would trigger criticality 1, so the connection to pump testing is clear.
From point C to point A
Other upcoming changes affect the scoring categories. These categories include either an A or C designation:
For example, standard LS.02.01.34, EP 3, requires hospitals to put a fire alarm annunciator panel in a location approved by the local fire department. This EP went from a C score to an A because typically there is only one such panel in a building, thus it better meets the criteria for an A score, Mills said.
The Joint Commission discontinued B-scored items in January 2009.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

One week after word came out that Paramount Pictures had tapped MUMMY director Stephen Sommers to helm the big screen adaptation of G.I. JOE, the studio has hired Stuart Beattie (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, COLLATERAL) to pen the screenplay, the trades report. Paramount hopes to make the live-action feature a summer 2009 tentpole.
The 1980s toyline spawned comics and an animated series. The film will be based on the latest incarnation of the franchise, which finds the G.I. Joe unit (which stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity) based in Brussels as a co-ed force using hi-tech weapons to fight the terrorist organization Cobra.
Producers are Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Hasbro's Brian Goldner.

Christian Eriksen named Danish Player of the Year for record third year in row
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen is the first footballer to be named Danish Player of the Year three years running, after pipping Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and Simon Kjaer to the 2015 accolade.
Eriksen's triumph was announced at a ceremony in Denmark on Saturday evening, hours before he scored Spurs' opening goal in Sunday's 2-2 FA Cup third-round draw against Leicester City.
The 23-year-old beat off competition from Schmeichel, who has starred in the Foxes's remarkable 2015, and Fenerbahce...

Since 'Parachutes' in 2000, Eat to the Beat have been involved with all Coldplay's tours building a close relationship with the band, managers and crew across the USA and Europe.
In 2011 Coldplay embarked on their tour, 'Mylo Xyloto'. Once more, Eat to the Beat could be found backstage hard at work serving great food and service.
With 1 universal team travelling with the tour and 2 advance teams prepping the next location alternately, our crew could really hit the ground running with unrivalled efficiency. Working with Coldplay has always and hopefully will always be a pleasure.
Eat to the Beat have been involved with The Million Pound Drop since its inception in 2010 working on 5 series on location with Davina McCall and the rest of the team.
It has been a delight catering for a variety of tastes onsite at Three Mills Studios. From hearty Barnsley Lamb Chops served with New Potatoes, to the exotic Moroccan Chicken infused with Saffron & Honey, our crew really got creative.
Our relationship with Endemol has grown every year, allowing us to expand our expertise into other shows such as 10 O'clock Live and The Bank Job. With our fleet of kitchen trucks at the ready, we are able to cater almost anywhere!
A dressing room rider.
For some companies this phrase fills them with dread but not Eat to the Beat. Having worked around the world providing catering services for the past 31 years, Eat to the Beat have had every weird and wonderful request you could possibly imagine.
Whether it's an American band seeking some home comforts, or a UK band hoping to take their favourite food on the road, we've got it covered. We aspire to meet the needs of every artist and ensure that their rider details are kept on a strictly need to know basis.
No matter how outlandish, give us your list and consider it done.
Google's Zeitgeist conference is one of the most high-powered gatherings of business leaders, politicians and some of the world's greatest thinkers.
Since its beginning in 2010, the UK Zeitgeist Conference has been held at The Grove Hotel, Watford and Eat to the Beat have provided catering services for the crew setting up the event every year since.
Eat to the Beat load in to site up to a week prior to the event. As so much activity goes on during the build up, the crew involved with the set up require a hearty lunch and dinner as well as some overnight meal services to keep them going!
Some might say the new 'rock n' roll' is comedy, with some of the biggest names going on tour and regularly selling out arenas across the UK.
2011 saw ETTB provide catering for Lee Evans on his tour 'Roadrunner'!
In 2012 we were out on the road with Michael McIntyre for his UK tour spanning 71 shows over 107 days.
This year we have provided Russell Brand with his catering requirements during his shows at Hammersmith Apollo. Eddie Izzard took us on his European leg of his 'Force Majeure' world tour, with 45 shows in 64 days. Plus a UK tour with Micky Flanagan.
…We've had a laugh!
Eat to the Beat were initially called upon to cater for Justin's first tour in 2011 by regular clients AEG live. We provided a selection of our trademark premium quality catering at 23 shows across Europe. In 2013 when Bieber returned to the UK, Eat to the Beat were on hand to provide the same specialist service in crew and artist catering. This tour gave ETTB the opportunity to excel as a company that relentlessly strives to provide the very best for our clients.
As the Bieber tour makes its way around Asia, our team based in Shanghai, are on hand to provide artists and crew catering for the tour whilst they play in Shanghai.
At Eat to the Beat we pride ourselves in being able to get the job done and get it done well with elegance, even in the most challenging of situations or locations.
In 2015, we celebrated our 27th year catering Reading Festival and we also enjoyed a very damp Leeds festival! As Luke Cowdell in Access All Areas put it, "Crew catering was in the middle of a running river!" Our kitchen flooded! Despite the somewhat soggy facilities, we supplied great catering as always.
Some might say we're there more often than the rainclouds! But whatever the weather, we've got you covered for your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
ETTB have been catering for the Cirque teams across Europe, the UK & Asia since 2003. With extensive worldwide tours, ETTB's expertise is crucial in ensuring the teams eat fresh, highly nutritious meals throughout.
We provide a home from home on the road working with Cirque most recently on Varekai, Saltimbanco, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour and Alegria. Throughout Winter 2013 we also enjoyed the opportunity to cater Kooza during their stretch of shows at the Royal Albert Hall.
In our years of touring we have a recipe for just about everything and an everlasting passion for food that goes into every meal we make!
V Festival was first held in 1996. It is now held annually in Hylands Park, Chelmsford & Weston Park, Staffordshire. Eat to the Beat have been working with V fest since 2009. We also provide a team to work with Blink TV at stage 2.
In 2013 we provided V festival crew and artists with our trademark first-rate cuisine, dressing room catering and a very popular artist's sweetie station! We served 20, 000 delectable meals which took 51 of Eat to the Beats finest caterers, including dedicated overnight staff.

Contestants Warwick & Lauren showed their appreciation with a lovely comment on Instagram 'Thanks for keeping us fed and watered you guys were great!'.

Researchers Explain Spider Web Stickiness
Todd Blackledge, Department of Biology (far left in photo), and a team of UA researchers have recently unraveled the mysteries behind the glue spiders use to spin their webs.
This path breaking illustration of knowledge production will have a powerful impact on the development of future bio-adhesives, result in multiple commercial applications, and marks another achievement in a field where UA is taking a leadership role in collaboration with regional partners and the medical community.
The research, "Viscoelastic Solids Explain Spider Web Stickiness," will appear in Nature Communications (May, 2010). Learn More

Biker Tank
The Fancy Deadby Bouffants And Broken Hearts
Our Biker Tank, made exclusively for Society6, is an edgier take on the traditional Muscle Tank. It's crafted using extremely soft 100% combed jersey cotton with deep arm openings and raw cut edges. The Biker Tank is a boyfriend fit, intended to hang loose - women may wish to select one size smaller for a more fitted wear.
An old piece I thought was appropriate to bring back. Skeletons in Victorian hats!

Family of 5 food budget
Comments (8)
I have always heard $100 a person a month is best
Wife to DH Oct 2006 & Momma to DD 2008
Well, we are a family of five, two active adults with big appetites, active 8 yo with huge appetite, and two growing and picky 2.5yo's. We spend about $650 a month, BUT, if we were struggling financially, we could certainly spend a few hundred less. We spend a lot on milk and bread, not a lot on red meat, but plenty on chicken.
~ Melody (34) mom to C (8) L (2) and T (2)
"Holes are not supposed to be in people!!!!" ~ Dawn Mertise
We spend about $500/month for food (only 3 of us now, soon to be 4). However, we're really picky and buy a lot of fresh produce and lean meat (plus, I'm too lazy to coupon). I'm just proud of us for recently starting to use cash envelopes for groceries, because before that we'd just spend whatever we wanted...which could be a lot, haha.
Me (1983) + DH (1981) =
Evan 1-13-09
Alyssa 11-26-12
we have a very hard time spending under $700 a month, shopping sales and couponing. It really depends on where you live and the price of food.
mom to Brian 3/07, Kevin & Patrick 4/09, angels Elisabeth ^11/12^ and Kacey ^1/14^ and our rainbow Finn 12/30/14
We spend about $130/person per month. We feed 7 and have a budget of $900. That does also include all consumable household products (paper towels, tp, diapers (although we mostly use cloth), wipes, cleaning supplies,detergent, etc).
Mom to Annemarie, Michael,�JP and William
"Enjoy here while you're here because there is no here there"
We have a budget of $600-700 a month. That does also include all toiletries, consumables, diapers, and wipes. Right now we are eating 3 meals a day at home (an no eating out challenge for us) so it has been closer to $700. And we meal plan supper and the leftovers are always lunch for me and DH.
Also, I don't buy a lot of prepackaged stuff (anymore), like toaster waffles and corndogs. Kids eat a lot of peanut butter sandwiches or homemade lunchables for lunch. I have also started making a lot of stuff for breakfast - pigs in a blanket, puffins, muffins, etc.

Nature's Answer, Liquid Vitamin B-Complex, Natural Tangerine Flavor, 8 fl oz (240 ml)
By Nature's Answer21 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Mar 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.6 lbs (0.73 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
as a sufferer of ankylosing spondylitis and chrohn's i have a lot of fatigue daily. i do really feel a long lasting boost from this stuff, it's a little hard to get down but well worth it... also it sticks to the back of your throat for a long time and even if you are careful and shake it well every use, the last couple of spoonfuls tend to get highly concentrated, i think it is a good idea to dilute it when you see the bottle is near empty...
I switched to this B Vitamin complex from a much more expensive brand and am very happy with it. (A little thick in consistency but mixes in well with liquids)

For The Suzuki Jimny is one of the cheapest new 4x4s on sale and it's capable off-road thanks to its low-ratio 'box. The warranty is good, too.
Against There are too many shortcomings in the way the Jimny drives on the road: it's painfully slow, the ride is too firm and it's short of grip. It's also very tight on rear passenger space.
What Car? says
Tough, and capable in the mud. However, the Suzuki Jimny is way too far behind its excellent SUV rivals in far too many areas.
What Car? readers say
Buying a car? Need Help?Get in touch
There are 2 Suzuki Jimny versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
It is cheap and rugged, but expect anything beyond that and the Suzuki Jimny flounders.
Off-road is the only place where this dinky 4x4 is any good, and even there it has to overcome the obstacle of a gutless 1.3-litre engine. At least low-range gears make it unlikely that you'll get bogged down.
The Jimny is built like a workhorse – chunky and clunky – and the ride isn't much different, either. Head on road and it is bouncy and uncomfortable, plus the Jimny's body leans terribly in bends and there's little grip.
Getting up to speed requires hard revving of the noisy engine, and the din is joined by road and wind noise to assault your ears from all angles.
The interior is basic and lacks the luxury items and quality you get in other small SUVs. Space is tight, too - it's best to see the Jimny as a two-seater and fold the rear seats down to extend the cramped boot.
Reader test team says:

How to set up a secure home network
This article will walk you through the fine details of conceiving, installing, and securing a wired and Wi-Fi local-area network. For the purposes of this project, we're envisioning a 600-square foot physical space for four to eight people, with two sets of desks in the front of the office, and two sets of desks in the back of the office.
We'll call our fictional small business Ergo; it's an industrial design consulting firm. The goal here is to create a network that has multiple Ethernet outlets and ubiquitous WiFi access.

A Jewish politician has been personally chosen by President Barack Obama to take on a senior role within the Democratic Party.
A man on trial for murder in Florida has been awarded nearly £80 per day to cover up his Nazi-themed tattoos.
Lawyers for John Ditullio, in court for a double stabbing in 2006 which left one victim dead and another wounded, successfully argued that if jurors could see the Nazi symbols on his skin they would be prejudiced when making their decision.
The court agreed to pay for a professional make-up artist to come in on every day of the trial and conceal Mr Ditullio's tattoos.
The sister of a Jewish soldier from Florida killed in action three years ago has launched a project to provide special kippot to all Jewish American servicemen.
Danny Agami, who was nicknamed "GI Jew", died after being struck by a roadside bomb during a tour of duty in Iraq in 2007.
The 25-year-old, from Florida, had named his US-Army issued yarmulke the "Kombatika".
It was a mixed result for Jewish politicians as America voted in the 2010 mid-terms.
In what appears to have been the worst results in decades for the Democrats, President Barack Obama's party has lost its majority in the House of Representatives and suffered defeats in key senate seats.
Richard Blumenthal, despite a tough challenge from the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, and a scandal over his claimed Vietnam record, was elected as the new junior Senator for Connecticut.
An Israeli business tycoon has been arrested after his teenage sons held an alcohol-fuelled party at the family's Florida mansion – and invited 500 underage guests.
Shlomi Rasabi and his wife Jeannie agreed to stay upstairs in their £4.6 million home while their 16 and 17 year-old sons hosted the event.
Police went to the property in the wealthy suburb of Boca Raton after receiving calls about noise disturbance. After they found a group of teenage girls vomiting outside, they raided the party and discovered that the boys' parents were at home.
A man has been arrested after allegedly becoming aggressive and using antisemitic threats on a Detroit-bound airplane in Miami aiport.
Mansour Mohammad Asad stood up as Northwest Airlines Flight 2485 was about to take off from Miami International Airport on Wednesday evening and said: "I'm a Palestinian and want to kill all the Jews," according to a report by the Miami-Dade Police Department.
The plane returned to the gate where police officers removed him and used a taser when he became aggressive during a search.
A prominent Florida lawyer who was a major donor to US politicians and to Chabad has been charged with running a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
Scott Rothstein, 47, was arrested on five racketeering and fraud charges and could face up to 100 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, which included conspiracy to commit money laundering, mail fraud and wire fraud, and was being held without bail.

Not to be confused with the other "White House under siege" movie coming out later this year, the first trailer for FilmDistrict's Olympus Has Fallen has been released exclusively on Apple and has all the explosions/action you could hope for…as well as a little Morgan Freeman just for flavor. Check it out below and try not to yell "Yippie Ki Yay Motherf*cker" at the end of it.
The official synopsis is as follows:
When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.
Olympus Has Fallen is the sort of dumb action movie I would have expected in the wake of Die Hard's success, not almost 30 years after the fact (and with a remarkably similar basic plot to boot). That being said the trailer was pretty fun, and it looks like a role Gerard Butler wasn't forced at gunpoint by his agent to take (unlike, say, everything else he's done over the past few years), plus it has the director of Training Day, Antoine Fuqua, at the helm so that's perhaps a promising signal. Check out the poster below.
Olympus Has Fallen, which co-stars Aaron Eckhart and Melissa Leo, opens everywhere on March 22nd.
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming […]
Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city's most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you're not likely […]

Listen: Doe Cigapom and Soulful!'s Caged Birds
D.C. rapper Doe Cigapom doesn't like the city's changing demographics: "The hell is a Columbia Heights. All I remember is 14th Street, man!" a male voice exclaims on CagedBirds, Cigapom's new collaborative EP with producer Soulful!. (Set aside the fact that the neighborhood was called Columbia Heights long before gentrification took hold.) A few seconds later: "This ain't muh'fuckin' Dodge City no more, man."
Tough narrative rhymes are everywhere on CagedBirds. Out yesterday, it's an overall decent, nine-song compilation of gritty funk breaks and obscure vocal samples. On "Summertime Stroll," Cigapom describes the dangers of D.C.: "Coming from the city that I'm from/You can die for money or shoes without the tongue." Other topics aren't so grim. "GreatPotofYeah" is a straightforward tune about smoking weed; "S'Mone" riffs on sexual frustration over drum chops and guitars.
CagedBirds won't stop gentrification, but there's always room for more real talk on the issue. Listen below.
