[caption id="attachment_22524" align="alignright" width="347" caption="ynergy Solar owner Jeff Mathias, left, installs a system with panels supplied by DC Power. (credit Synergy Solar)"][/caption]
ROHNERT PARK – DC Power Systems is in growth mode, bulking up its staff and product portfolio under Japanese owner Itochu Corp.
The leading distributor of clean-energy products in the Americas has sustained revenue growth of 50 percent for the past two years. Projected revenues for 2010 are more than $200 million.
Recently moved from its Healdsburg digs into 30,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in the Sonoma Mountain Village in Rohnert Park, DC Power has added 55 employees in the last six months. According to vice president of marketing Chris Phipps, at least 20 more will join the staff of 140 before the end of the year.
"As a frame of reference, when I joined the company in late 2006 we had 26 employees," he said.

Lin Beili
Translated by Shirley Chang
Lin Beili (1916–?), orginally named Lin Yin, was a poet from
Minhou, Fujian.
I will write down here the story of a twenty-seven-year-old woman. Readers will probably consider it strange, for the collection which includes this narrative already indicates its nature. But why do I not directly say: "I will write down my own story here"? Let me now explain the reason, which is my motive for writing.
It must have been late June that I received a letter from my friend L! Attached to it was a letter from Ms Huang, an editor with Plowing Publishing Company (Gengyun chubanshe). She asked me to write my life to be published in a collection of women writers' autobiographies. I instinctively thought, "Say no! How can I write my autobiography? I've never written anything and if my story were included in the collection, it would be completely out of place." But another thought entered my mind with even stronger force: my refusal would greatly disappoint L. He had been so kind to me that I could not bear the thought of letting him down. Indeed, I should not let him down.
Before then I had read many autobiographies and had found most of them unsatisfying. The writers (either men or women) often loved to write about how they struggled, how they conquered difficulties, and how they had made sacrifices to benefit others. What meaningful and practical lives they had led! All the talk of their endeavors and sacrifices were nothing but a beautiful and splendid curtain. My life concerns no struggle,

OpenDNS : Change DNS server to Improve Internet Speed
When ever we need fast Internet connection, we usually opt for a broadband connection which offers higher speed and it's a good practice. Though, very few people are aware of the fact that at times, even using Faster broadband connection you might not get great speed. Specially, in the case when you are browsing or using torrents. This usually happens because of DNS (Domain name system) provided by your ISP. One, easy way to get rid of this scenerio is by using Public DNS servers like OpenDNS or Google DNS.

TSA identifies agent killed at LAX
At least seven wounded in chaotic shooting at airport
Savant said people bolted through the metal detectors and ran into the terminal.
"My whole thing was to get away from him," said Savant, an advertising creative director who was heading to New York with his family for a weekend trip.
Just a few weeks ago, airport police and the Los Angeles Police Department had jointly trained for a similar shooting scenario, according to Gannon, who said officers told him the drill was critical in preparing them for the real thing.
While Terminal 3 remained closed, much of the rest of the airport continued operating, though with some disruptions. Some LAX-bound flights that were already in the air were diverted to other airports.
The ripple effect across the country delayed 76,000 travelers, LAX officials said. Hundreds of stranded passengers streamed into nearby hotels, rolling bags behind them down roads absent of car traffic.
The officer who was killed was one of the behavioral detection officers that are stationed throughout the airport, looking for suspicious behavior, said J. David Cox Sr., national president of the American Federation of Government Employees.
Initially, Cox said at least three other TSA officers were wounded. Later in the day, the TSA said two other officers were wounded. Their conditions were not disclosed.
The Los Angeles Fire Department revised its total number of victims taken to hospitals from six to five, saying one had been double counted. Those numbers included Hernandez, Ciancia and one person who broke an ankle.
Ben Rosen was sitting at a Starbucks in the terminal eating oatmeal when he heard gunfire erupt and saw people running in all directions or crouching. He grabbed his phone and tried to lie as flat on the ground as he could.
Police showed up with guns drawn, shouting, "This is not a drill! Hands up!"
People put their hands up and then were led out of the terminal to the adjacent international terminal, Rosen said. As they were led out they saw broken glass from a window that looked as if it had been shot out. Rosen left his bag behind.
It was not the first shooting at LAX. On July 4, 2002, a limousine driver opened fire at the airport's El Al ticket counter, killing an airline employee and a person who was dropping off a friend at the terminal. Police killed the man.

Quality meats are Cusack family tradition
When it comes to the last Thursday in November, some of us are thankful we don't have to cook because of people such as Al and Donnie Cusack. Al and Donnie, who own and operate Cusack Meats, have never known any other business than providing high-quality meats. They were born into it and happily will die a part of it. That's why their warehouse is beyond hospital clean. That's why they not only embrace the daily state Health Department inspections but exceed the cleanliness standards. (Don't get Donnie started on healthy storage habits unless you've got an afternoon to kill.) "My family started this company 76 years ago. If that doesn't motivate us to continue providing our customers the very best meat products and the trademark Cusack service, I don't know what does." Al said. It's that same pride that moved them to engineer their own glazing machine more than a decade ago in the warehouse at 301 SW 12. "After we spiral cut and glaze the ham," Donnie said, "we run it through an open flame. No one made a machine to do what we wanted, so we had it made." The honey and spice that make the hams so nice isn't just on the outside. "Our hams are injected with 100 percent pure honey prior to smoking," Al said. "That way, you've got that honey flavor inside and out." Cusack Meats has been producing 270 hams a day to meet the demand of their customers, which start in Oklahoma but extend north into Canada and to all points between. They also offer smoked turkeys, rib roasts and steaks for the holidays.
Try turduckenFor those looking not only to avoid cooking but also offer traditional holiday fare, consider turducken. Tulsa's Ed Hebert is a Louisiana native who brought his knowledge of this Cajun tradition with him and shares it across the country through Hebert's Specialty Meats. You can order from Hebert directly or drop by The Beef Jerky Emporium, where Mark Garvey proudly carries Hebert's products. "We do special orders," Garvey said. "I can hardly keep that stuff on the shelf." And then there's the Pearl's Restaurant group, which has been offering Cajun-style fried turkeys for years. Orders are taken at Pearl's Crabtown, 303 E Sheridan, in Bricktown. If you can't make up your mind, try one of each. That would be a Thanksgiving to remember.

PGCBL and Perfect Game Announce Partnership Agreement Extension
At the annual WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., the PGCBL and Perfect Game announced an extension of their partnership agreement.
Working together the two organizations will continue providing first class competition, training, developmental opportunities and exposure to top flight high school and college players from across the country.
"Teaming up with Perfect Game has given us access to coaches and players who did not consider joining PGCBL teams in years past. Partnering with Perfect Game was the very first thing we did when we started the league. They gave us credibility which immediately raised the bar on the level of competition in our league," stated PGCBL President Jeff Kunion. "We look forward to working with Perfect Game to improve the quality of play on the field and the entertainment value we provide our fans."
"The PGCBL is a valuable extension of Perfect Game. They provide quality facilities, excellent coaching and a great competitive environment for many of our alumni," said Perfect Game President Jerry Ford.
Perfect Game is the largest independent scouting service in the country. In 2013, more than 85-percent of MLB draftees had participated in a Perfect Game showcase event.
The PGCBL is a summer collegiate baseball league in upstate New York. Entering its fourth year of operations, PGCBL teams play in former New York Penn League stadiums in Elmira, Glens Falls, Little Falls, Newark, Utica and Watertown. They also host games at Bellizzi Stadium in the new athletic complex of the College of St. Rose (Albany) and renovated ballparks in Amsterdam and Boonville.

Off Their Rockers to return to ITV
Hollyoaks actress Jazmine Franks has said scenes where Esther takes things to the next level with girlfriend Tilly were awkward to film.
The soap star's character Esther Bloom has recently got together with Tilly Evans, played by Lucy Dixon, but says the scenes where they decide to sleep together were tough to get through.
She said: "It is quite nervewracking. You go to set and you're not that bothered about it, but when you have to climb on to the bed...
"It's also a room full of people, it's not just me and her. You've got the crew around you and it's like 'Argh this is really awkward'. But you just have to go for it. If you feel awkward you have to do take after take after take so it's best to just go for it and get it done in one or two takes."
However, Jazmine said she was fine with the kissing scenes as they had actually started two years ago, when Esther and Tilly first looked set to become an item in Hollyoaks.
She said: "We're so comfortable around each other so now it's like we're used to doing it, we're used to doing kissing scenes and stuff. But the first time I met Lucy was on our way down to Abersoch [where Hollyoaks filmed holiday episodes on location in North Wales] about two years ago and I literally met her on the coach down there and within a couple of hours we were kissing on the beach, it was the first scene we did together.
"It was kind of good because it threw us in at the deep end. We were both nervous so I think they got that nervous energy and it was Esther's first kiss as well. At the time I was like 'How have you done this?' But it came across on the screen so well because I was absolutely petrified."
Jazmine and Lucy also appear in an episode of Hollyoaks Later together when Esther and Tilly take a spooky 18th birthday trip away.

SEO websites = Great websites
Shortcuts and tricks simply don't work in SEO, and are often penalised by Google. These days, a truly SEO-friendly website is fast, clean, user-friendly and engaging, which is precisely what we aim to achieve.
At the beginning of the process, we conduct extensive research into how to make you stand out within your sector. We then use this knowledge to build a design that looks great and provides your visitors with a trustworthy, credible and easy-to-use site.
We build high quality websites that follow Google's guidelines and enable easy and engaging interaction with your brand. Of course, we also have a rigorous testing process in place to ensure everything works perfectly before it goes live.
Check the technology
We design your website with the most powerful tools available, such as Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Then we get stuck in to the nitty-gritty of the website, developing with a bit of HTML here, some JavaScript there, and a splash of PHP on top.
If you need to reach visitors on mobile devices, we can throw some Responsive Web Design into the mix, and we've even been known to build bespoke tools, interactive elements and games. Our goal is always to create a site that search engines will rate and visitors will engage with.
Our team specialises in building WordPress sites, but we also have extensive experience of Magento, Drupal and custom CMS platforms. Furthermore, we can give you training so that you can upload your own content, and install tracking codes to monitor your SEO or PPC activity. We also offer you ongoing support for site changes and maintenance.
We believe that our design and development expertise can help your business achieve more interaction from visitors. We're always available to chat about that in more detail, so get in touch to find out more.

Suddenly, a few weeks ago, my automatic door locks stopped working - I must lock and unlock each door manually. And the dashboard constantly indicates my parking/emergency brake is engaged, even when I'm driving and it is 100% clear that it's not. Any idea what's going on? And is this going to cost me an arm and a leg to get repaired?

Like we told you yesterday, Nokia has patented a technology that will allow people to get tattoos that vibrate each time they get a call, text or email.

(Updated at 4:30 p.m.) A new Hawaiian-inspired restaurant has opened in Shirlington.
Hula Girl Bar and Grill, a restaurant based on a popular food truck, originally opened last week at 4044 Campbell Avenue. It closed unexpectedly over the weekend due to a power issue, but reopened for dinner last night (Monday).
Hula Girl's furnishings are unmistakably Hawaiian, down to flip flops on the wall, surf boards hanging from the ceiling, Spam cans on the tables, surf films on the TVs and the Outrigger Canoe Club hat on chef/owner Mikala Brennan's head.
The food menu includes Poke, a Hawaiian raw fish dish, along with a Hula Girl teriyaki plate, grilled mahi-mahi and barbecue ribs. There are also salads, sides and desserts to choose from, all island inspired.
On the beverage menu, beers from Maui Brewing and Kona Brewing are featured along with local brews. A wine menu has selections from relatively exotic non-Hawaiian locales: Texas, New York, Michigan, New Mexico and Maryland, among other more standard winemaking regions.
The cocktail menu includes plenty of tropical fruit and names like "Hawaii Kai Margarita," "Blue HI," "Say Pineapple 5X Fast" and "Never Below 75," along with a signature Hula Girl Mai Tai.
While overworked, Brennan said she "feels great" about the new brick and mortar extension of her food truck vision.
"I had been looking for a location for 2 years — and we finally found our home here in Shirlington," she told ARLnow.com. "The community has been so supportive and positive with us opening — feels like the Aloha Spirit is coming alive!"
Hula Girl is currently open Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m. Lunch service is expected to begin "late December."
(Updated Aug. 11 at 2 p.m.) The TargetExpress store coming to 1500 Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn is now hiring.
Earlier this summer Target confirmed that a 23,000-square-foot store would be coming to Rosslyn, and the company now says the store will open this October.
In addition to a sign outside the new location that announces the company is now hiring, Target will hold a job fair this week from Aug. 13-15 at Hyatt Arlington (1325 Wilson Blvd).
The job fair will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. Target says they are looking to hire roughly 60 new employees.
The store is slated to include an in-house Starbucks and a pharmacy, and will also carry groceries, prepared foods and clothing.
Arlington's Metropole Brewing Company has two big events on the horizon: the opening of its first brewery and a name change for the company.
There was speculation in March that Metropole, a brewing company started by Arlington local Mike Katrivanos, might be opening its first facility at 2709 S. Oakland Street, near the Shirlington dog park and the W&OD Trail. Those suspicions were confirmed via a post on the business's Facebook page Monday night.
"Arlington's first package brewery since 1916 is coming to your community!" said the post. "Time and time again, Arlington County is featured as one of the best places to live in the United States. Help make Arlington an even better place to live by supporting your local brewery."
Steve Katrivanos — Mike's brother and former bandmate in local alt rock group Sematic — said he anticipates the brewery, which will include a tasting room, will open this fall. In addition to on-premises sales, the brewery will sell its beer to local retailers.
"This started as my brother's dream seven years ago, and he worked with Arlington for two years to make it a reality," said Katrivanos. "We're almost at at the finish line now."
Katrivanos described the company as a craft brewery that strives to use locally-sourced and quality imported ingredients. In the past, Metropole has used Virginia honeysuckle to make their beer, and Katrivanos said the company recently acquired some local honey which they plan to use in a beer sometime soon.
"We pride ourselves on unique but drinkable craft beer," said Katrivanos.
So far, Katrivanos says the community has been very supportive, with residents coming out to look at the space or help with renovations "pretty much every weekend."
"We want to be part of the Arlington community," said Katrivanos.
The brewery opening isn't the only change for Metropole: the company is in the process of changing their name to New District Brewing Co., a transition Katrivanos expects to be completed sometime within the next week.

Fourth of July revelers will have another option for dining out this holiday weekend: Vietnamese eatery Pho Deluxe plans to open at 2300 Clarendon Blvd on Sunday, in the space previously vacated by Toscana Grill.
Owners Dan and Hue Nguyen announced plans to open the Courthouse location earlier this year, and now that plan is coming to fruition.
Hostess Michelle Nguyen said that the space required minor renovations, but the bulk of Pho Deluxe's time and energy was spent redecorating. The restaurant should be ready for business as soon as it passes the fire marshall's inspection.
Pho Deluxe currently has a sign in the window advertising positions for busboys and waiters. Nguyen says that they are in the midst of conducting interviews right now, and estimates that the new location's staff is about 80 percent hired.
The Courthouse branch will be the third Pho Deluxe in Virginia; the restaurant also has locations in Tysons Corner and Fairfax. According to Nguyen, there are no current plans for an grand opening celebration.
Beloved donut chain Duck Donuts is slated to open new locations in Arlington and Fairfax this summer.
The Fairfax branch will open in the "first or second week of June" in the Boulevard Shopping Center at 10694 Fairfax Boulevard, said a Duck Donuts employee today by phone.
The Arlington franchise, which currently has no opening date, will be located in the Lee Harrison Shopping Center according to a brochure distributed May 12 by the development company that owns the center. It appears as though the new branch will open in the space formerly occupied by a Baskin-Robbins.
Duck Donuts specializes in made-to-order donuts coated in toppings like peanut butter icing, bacon, and rainbow sprinkles.
Earlier this month, the donut company opened a branch in Herndon. Duck Donuts also plans to open new locations in Newark, Del., Charlotte, N.C., and Bristow, and Virginia Beach, Va.

(Updated at 5:10 p.m.) Don Tito is expected to open next week in Clarendon.
The "tacos, tequila and beer" spot will be opening in the former Eventide space at 3165 Wilson Blvd. Scott Parker, one of five partners in the business, says Don Tito should officially open to the public on Sunday, March 15, with a "soft opening" starting perhaps as soon as Wednesday, March 11.
Interior work is still underway, but should be wrapping up before the soft opening. The establishment's exterior sign is expected to arrive this coming Thursday.
Parker says Don Tito will be different than A-Town Bar and Grill, the popular but sometimes rowdy Ballston bar that's owned by the same group.
"[Don Tito] will have more of a lounge feel to it," Parker said. "It will be a good place to have a good time and drink but it won't be as much of a party atmosphere."
He added that Don Tito will have a bit more of an emphasis on food compared to A-Town.
Parker said retrofitting the former Eventide space went "as well as could be expected." Patrons can expect a "cantina look" inside, with a lot of exposed brick, wood grain and two bars on the rooftop.
The roof will open when the weather allows, he said.

Orangetheory Fitness, an interval-training gym with heart rate-focused workout sessions, plans to open a location at 1776 Wilson Blvd by the end of the August.
Orangetheory employees have been signing up passersby for discounted memberships this week in the storefront next door to its planned location, near Ray's to the Third restaurant. The gym is offering specials ranging from $8 to $17 per session to those who sign up for a month of group classes between now and its planned grand opening opening at the end of the summer.
Franchise owner Mark Steverson told ARLnow.com that the gym plans to have a soft opening the week of August 18, and will offer free sessions to curious parties. The gym will also celebrate its grand opening with a weight loss challenge, with a $2,500 cash prize, in early September.
The group workout sessions with Orangetheory combine cardio and strength training by using blocks of treadmills, indoor rowing machines and weight-training. Steverson said the goal is for members to reach between 81 percent and 94 percent of their maximum heart rate for 12-20 minutes of their workout, to maximize calorie burn for 36 hours post-workout.
"So you're still burning calories when you go to Ray's next door or Ben's Chili Bowl or wherever," Steverson said.
The closest current Orangetheory location of its 110 U.S. gyms is in Fairfax. Orangetheory says those interested in pre-sale memberships should call 571-431-6140.
"Karu & Toast," a cafe serving vegan and vegetarian fare at 3260 Wilson Blvd is now open.
Co-owner Janet McFadden said the food, ranging from daily salad options and hearty soups to gluten-free cookies, is prepared with healthy, fresh ingredients that don't sacrifice flavor.
"You can have a cookie that's tasty and gluten-free," McFadden told ARLnow.com. "Spices are not something that's bad for you."
While previously open only to clients of its partner Saffron Dance, Karu & Toast opened to the general public at the beginning of this month. The cafe's current hours are Monday through Friday, 5:30-9:30 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Starting July 14, the cafe plans to open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and from 4:30 to 9:30 pm, daily, McFadden said.
The cafe also offers a variety of coffee drinks and teas, and a "Mexican hot chocolate." Drink prices vary from $1 to $3.25, and food options range from an $8 soup, salad and drink combination to snacks starting at $1.50.
"The organic chia pudding is everyone's favorite," McFadden said. "It's vegan but it's still really good, and it's served with a dollop of preserves."
McFadden, who opened Karu & Toast with her three sisters, said the name comes from "karu," the Guarani word meaning "to eat," and the idea of toasting in celebration.
"So the name means to eat and celebrate," McFadden said.
The new temporary park at the corner of Clarendon Blvd and N. Barton Street (2409 Clarendon Blvd) is now open.
The space, in the Courthouse neighborhood, is being billed as "a little oasis in the bustling urban corridor." It features open green space and a "multi-use activity area" where residents are encouraged to "BYOG," or "bring your own game."
"The new open space has lawns and multi-use activity area that is perfect for bocce, cornhole, lawn bowling or just about anything a toddler can think up!" said Arlington Dept. of Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Laura Barragan. "Lawn and gardens surround an inner plaza where there are colorful tables with umbrellas as well as uniquely designed seating for people to enjoy the outdoors."
The park, located on land temporarily donated to the county by the Korean embassy, was designed with sustainability in mind. It includes an old garbage dumpster that was recycled as a planter, plants and boulders transplanted from elsewhere in the county, and simple, low-cost elements like concrete block planters, according to Barragan.
Construction on the park started in February and wrapped up a week ago, on June 4. The park is expected to remain open for at least a year.

(Updated at 12:30 p.m.) Comedian Bill Cosby joined Arlington County Board Chairman Jay Fisette and other local notables in helping to open the new Ben's Chili Bowl in Rosslyn this morning.
Cosby's jokes and antics drew laughs from the large crowd of media and spectators that gathered to see the ribbon cutting for the iconic U Street eatery's first stand-alone, brick-and-mortar expansion. Other attendees and speakers included the Ali family, which owns the restaurant; the ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago, late founder Ben Ali's home country; WPGC DJ Shack Nd Pack; and Rosslyn BID President Mary-Claire Burick.
Cosby joked that as an aging Navy veteran, he was glad to have a Ben's Chili Bowl near Arlington National Cemetery.
"The reason why this establishment has decided to open here is for me," he said. "I'm 76-and-a-half years old. I'm going to have my 77th birthday in July… I spent four years in the Navy, which means I am eligible for a military funeral. Now, my can ghost make the trip here instead of flying over to U Street."
"Over in that cemetery there is no cholesterol," he continued. "There are no triglycerides. Eat as many as you like. Double down on the cheese and fries. A lot of people may not go to heaven, because this is heaven."
Arlington County Board Chairman Jay Fisette presented Cosby and Virginia Ali, Ben's widow, with keys to Arlington. Cosby quipped that he would use it to get out of parking tickets.
"Whoa, who put me on stage after Bill Cosby?" Fisette said, to which Cosby shot back: "your mother did."
"Thanks for choosing Arlington… for your second spot," Fisette said. "As I've always said, chili for breakfast, chili for lunch, chili for dinner and a half smoke for dessert."
Customers flooded into the the restaurant following the ribbon cutting, leaving a large crowd outside the doors, waiting to get in. Hundreds showed up to the Colonial Village Shopping Center parking lot to see Cosby speak and get some of the first tastes of chili, half smokes, hamburgers and milkshakes after standing outside in near-freezing temperatures.
The restaurant is located at 1725 Wilson Blvd, in the former Ray's Hell Burger space. It's owned and operated by three sons, Nizam, Kamal and Sage, and one daughter, Vida. The family said during the ribbon cutting that the restaurant plans to stay open until 4:30 a.m.
"The chili will sober you up," Cosby said of Ben's likely late night customers.
Copperwood Tavern, a new "cabin-style restaurant and bar" in Shirlington, is scheduled to open on Monday, Sept. 30.
The rustic restaurant and its outdoor patio will seat 218 people. The bar will serve 20 draft beers, up to 20 wines by the glass and about 20 American whiskeys. The food menu includes $15-25 lunch entrees, $29-35 dinner entrees and a weekend brunch.
First announced in April, Copperwood Tavern is located at 4021 Campbell Avenue, in the former Bistro Bistro space. It's owned by the company behind Wilson Tavern in Courthouse and The Mighty Pint and Irish Whiskey in D.C.
More about Copperwood Tavern, from a press release about the opening:
Designed by local artist Maggie O'Neill of O'Neill Studios to feel like your entering the wilderness in southern Virginia, Copperwood Tavern will feature seasonal farm to table menu options, 20 draft beer favorites, craft bar program and inviting atmosphere including front porch dining for you and your pet. Copperwood Tavern is scheduled to open on September 30, 2013.
This rustic tavern, which will seat 218 people, will feature prime cuts of local game, farm-raised poultry, beef and fresh fish accompanied with hearty, shared sides.
Copperwood Tavern will offer 20 draft beers, 30 small-batch whiskeys and a superb wine selection, its 30‐foot craft bar is also stocked with southern Virginia's white whiskey, also known as moonshine.
Copperwood Tavern interior will be a dramatically warm and unique tribute to the best place in everyone's life: The home away from home. Hunting and fishing accents will be seen throughout the décor, complete with all the charm and texture that comes with places that make you long to hang out longer.
With a "woodsy retreat" atmosphere, Copperwood wouldn't be complete without the option to bring your loyal hunting companion — patrons will be encouraged to bring their pets along. Copperwood Tavern will feature a 56-person, dog-friendly porch with copper dog bowls and house-baked dog treats.
The restaurant is currently hiring servers, according to a Facebook post.

Is there enough room in Pentagon City for two self-serve frozen yogurt stores?
Tutti Frutti franchise owner Geoff Trout is betting on it. He hopes to open shop on South Fern Street, next to the Post Office in the Millennium at Metropolitan Park apartments, in late August or early September.
The self-serve frozen yogurt trend hit Pentagon Row earlier this year when Yogiberry replaced Maggie Moo's ice cream. The Tutti Frutti concept is similar — a rotating menu of flavors combined with 35 to 40 fruit and candy toppings.
"I feel very confident in the product," Trout said. "I don't think Pentagon Row is close enough. This is a company that has really taken off."
The Los Angeles-based company claims it's the largest self-serve frozen yogurt chain in the world, with 584 franchises.
While some local outdoor cafes have been open for business already due to a smattering of warm days like today, the popular rooftop decks in the area remain closed.
The good news is they're preparing to open soon. The bad news is you'll have to wait a few more weeks.
Here is the current list of seasonal openings for Arlington's popular rooftop establishments:
- Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill — April 1.
- Whitlow's — Although the website says the opening will be March 8, an employee told us it will actually be St. Patrick's Day, March 17.
- Clarendon Ballroom — There is no firm date. Management will decide after the threat of frost has passed, which could be anytime from March through the beginning of May.
- Eventide — Late April is when regularly scheduled evenings will begin. However, the rooftop will be ready starting March 15 and may open on especially warm evenings.

Breakthrough for Scranton vet pension bills
HARRISBURG — An end game could be in sight for final passage of legislation to help a group of Scranton employees who are veterans purchase retirement benefits to cover their military service.
The House and Senate are likely in coming weeks to send a bill originating in each chamber to Gov. Tom Corbett's desk as part of a two-bill package.
This legislation would allow about 16 city employees to immediately start buying military service credits to apply to their retirement benefits. It would remove an existing three-year wait limit in which an employee must start employment with the city after being discharged from active military service in order to buy military service credits. If an individual is hired by Scranton more than three years after being discharged, he is currently unable to buy the credits.
The sole Second Class A City in Pennsylvania, only Scranton is subject to this wait limit.
The Senate Finance Committee on Monday approved a House-passed bill sponsored by Rep. Kevin Haggerty, D-112, Dunmore, that removes the limit for non-uniformed employees. It now faces a Senate floor vote.
"It (bill) costs the city nothing," Sen. John Blake, D-22, Archbald, told the panel. "It costs the state nothing."
Mr. Haggerty said he anticipates a House vote on a Senate-passed bill sponsored by Mr. Blake that removes the limit for police and firefighters in this situation.

Setup a Winston logger for grunt runtime.
Setup a Winston logger for grunt runtime. Winston is "a multi-transport async logging library for node.js."
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-winston --save-dev
Configure one or more winston logger, the minimal config would be:
gruntinitConfig winston: default_option: {} ; gruntloadNpmTasks'grunt-winston'; gruntregisterTask'default' 'winston';
config hash will be passed in directly when calling the
winston.Logger constructor. Typical options would be
transports (https://github.com/flatiron/winston/blob/master/docs/transports.md) and
levels (https://github.com/flatiron/winston#logging-levels). Read the docs on https://github.com/flatiron/winston for more details
gruntinitConfig winston: logger: options: config: transports: 'File': filename: 'path/to/all-logs.log' 'Console': handleExceptions: true json: true levels: foo: 0 bar: 1 baz: 2 foobar: 3 ;
Noted: for transport, this plugin takes a hash of configurations for different transport setups, with the keys being the name of one of the default transports provided by winston. (e.g. if you want to use winston.transports.File, the key would be 'File'). If you want to use custom transports (e.g. 'winston-loggly'), you would have to do it in the 'hooks' as described below.
Winston provide a set of APIs for finer-grain controll over the logger instance. grunt-winston provide
hooks for your convenience to add such kind of controlls. You may provide a function (or an array of functions), with each takes a single parameter
logger that represents the instance of logger for the current grunt task.
gruntinitConfig winston: myLogger: options: // // Handle errors // loggeron'error' /* Do Something */ ; // // Or just suppress them. // loggeremitErrs = false; ;
gruntinitConfig winston: myLogger: options: hooks: loggeron'logging' // [msg] and [meta] have now been logged at [level] to [transport] ; loggeraddColors foo: 'blue' bar: 'green' baz: 'yellow' foobar: 'red' ; ;
It would not be useful if you define a logger and not use it anywhere, so the idea of this
defineLogger is for you to set the logger to the context of your own. Usually in a grunt runtime, it maybe useful to set the logger on the
global object so from any module you may just do
logger.log() as if the logger is defined locally. (For this matter,
defineLogger is by default setting
logger to
global object, so you don't have to set this yourself).
gruntinitConfig winston: myLogger: options: // default setup of grunt-winston globallogger = logger; ;
A less common use case would be place the logger directly on
Object.prototype (much like how should.js is done). Please be warned that when you do so, you actually DID extended the Object.prototype and in many cases this is something to avoid. But if it does fit your case, doing so allows you call
logger.log and any object, without having to set the property. (e.g.
myClass.logger.log(...)). You can do it like so:
gruntinitConfig winston: myLogger: options: // default setup of grunt-winston logger; ;
It is totally optionaly to call your logger
logger, feel free to provide your own
defineLogger function to name it your way.

Banco Mujer Jire Group
Update on Banco Mujer Jire GroupThis group is composed of five women: on top of being friends, they believe in the same faith, and this has been an important element to reach the cohesion of the group.
They live on the Southern Costa-Rican-Panama frontier, an area with peculiar characteristics such as underemployment of the adult male population and a few chances to find a paid job for women over 35 years of age, as the business generated by the big shopping centers requires young women. For this reason, older women are obliged to become their own employers.
However this economic situation creates jobs opportunities for them, as by selling products from catalogue they offer their customers the chance to buy products on credit, something that is not possible in the big shopping centers, where products are sold for cash only.
This loan will be invested in the purchase of catalogue merchandise, underwear, perfumes, cosmetics, and two members will venture into selling Tupper Ware brand products, as these are items requested by their current customers and that could be requested by potential customers as well.
The final aim of their effort is to engage in retail in order to provide a better standard of living to themselves and to their families.
Estan ubicadas en la frontera Sur de Costa Rica-Panama, zona que presenta caracteristicas muy particulares: subempleo para la población masculina adulta, pocas oportunidades de empleo remunerado para mujeres mayores de 35 años, por cuanto el comercio generado por los grandes almacenes, demanda mujeres jovenes; lo que hace que estas mujeres se vean en la necesidad de autoemplearse.
Sin embargo este auge comercial abre oportunidades de negocios para ellas, ya que a travez de la venta de productos de catálogo, ofrecen la oportunidad a sus clientas de obtener articulos a crédito, algo que no es posible en los grandes almacenes, que unicamente venden de contado.
Este préstamo se invertira en la compra de mercadería de catálogo, ropa interior, perfumeria, cosm{eticos y dos compañeras incursionarán el la venta de productos de la marca Tupper Ware, articulos que demandan sus clientes actuales y potenciales.
El fín último de todo este esfuerzo de realizar el comercio minorista es el ofrecer mejores condiciones de vida a ellas y por ende a sus familias.
Previous Loan DetailsThis is a group of women who attend different churches, Cuadrangular and Movimiento Misionero. They live in the same community and know each other well. They decided to form Banco Mujer to have access to working capital, strengthening their commercial activities and breeding pigs. These women... More from Banco Mujer Jire Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

#2 Texas taking #1 Penn St. to the woodshed right now.
6-0 run to close out set #1 25-22
Set 2 - 17-10 Texas
Hooker with something like 13 kills so far
It will be interesting to see how PSU responds. The girls in this program don't know what it's like to be behind like this.
Now 23-18 Texas in Set 2
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great
True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:
Looking more and more that Iowa State is going to be the only team to have beaten the National Champion this year.
Texas takes set 2 25-20
They mentioned that the All-American Dinner was last night; we'll see if they talk about it during the break.

Well, at least that will be something...(still bitter about draw).

If Texas takes this match, it'll draw even more attention to the bad draw.
Penn St leads set 3 9-5
Hooker had 16 kills in the first two sets
Penn St leads 20-17 in third set
Penn St leads 24-22 in third set, Texas serve
Penn St takes set 3, 25-23
Texas is like night and day compared to last year - much better passing, and frankly much grittier. Stealing Penn State's setting coach, Salima Rockwell, to Austin after last season has changed that team.
As the announcers pointed out, Salima acts like the head coach already, doing almost all the talking in the Texas huddle during timeouts.
Could ESPN want Penn St. to win any more?
Random thoughts:
Is volleyball the only sport where you can score more points than an opponent and still lose? It's like if baseball went away with total runs and decided games by who won more innings. Odd.
Anyone else find it odd that there are more high fives exchanged between team members of the team that lost the point?
Destinee Hooker is ridiculous.
I normally am not a huge fan of women's sports, especially basketball, but this is entertaining. It's beating out Christmas Vacation on my TV set, and that's saying a lot.

The only other one coming to mind for me is tennis. There are some really nice volleys going.

This story is only somewhat bike-related, so I decided to put it in the Foo sub-forum.
In my office building, we don't have a dedicated space to store bikes but there's room in the parking garage in the basement. Last night I was sitting at my desk when one of my coworkers came by and asked if my bike was the green one locked up next to his downstairs. He was leaving for the night and was down there unlocking his bike and getting on a jacket for the ride home. He told me he saw one of the employees from the burrito shop next door bent over my bike, apparently twisting something or trying to pull the cable lock apart. The burrito shop doesn't have any parking spots in the garage, but they have a key to get in to access a storage closet in there. When the culprit noticed that someone was watching him, he stopped what he was doing walked over to the storage closet, got whatever he was sent down there to get, and left to go back to work.
After I went down to make sure my bike wasn't broken, my coworker and I went to the burrito shop to talk to a manager. We told him that the last employee he sent down to the garage was messing with bikes and that we would be informing the building management on Monday morning. The manager was apologetic and said he would put away the key to the garage. While we were standing there, the culprit recognized my coworker, went to the part of the store farthest away from us, and keep peeking out to see if we had left yet.
We made our point, so my coworker left to go home and I went back up to the office to finish what I was doing. A short time later I packed up to leave and went downstairs to get my bike. When I got on, I reached back to turn on my rear light and noticed that it was gone. That's what the guy was twisting and pulling: My rear light was attached to the seatpost with two plastic zip ties. I was annoyed before, but now I was angry because something had been stolen.
So I went back to the shop again and talked to the same manager. I told him that whoever was down in the garage had stolen my light and I just wanted it back. He went in the back to talk to the culprit, then came back and said the guy didn't know anything about a light. He was just looking for a place to park his bike. This is an obvious lie because employees don't usually have access to the garage unless they get the key from the manager for the specific purpose of getting into the storage closet. I told the manager that the culprit was seen crouched in front of my bike pulling on something, and that doesn't comprise looking for a place to park. He went in the back again, and this time he came back with the employee. Immediately he said he didn't know anything about a light and that he was just looking for somewhere to put his bike. I told him that I wanted my light back and that I would go back upstairs and call the police if I didn't get it. At this point the manager intervened. He didn't want the police in the shop interrupting his business, making him look bad, and perhaps getting him in trouble with his boss. He asked how much the light is worth, and I told him about $20. He pulled a $20 bill from his wallet and handed it to me.
For a few seconds, I couldn't decide whether I should accept it. Taking the money would preclude me from involving the police. But I thought it through and decided that there were two likely outcomes: I could call the police and report the theft. They would talk to the employee, and he would deny stealing the light again. Since I didn't see the guy doing anything wrong, I don't think they could have done anything based on what I would have told them. My coworker was the one who spotted the guy in the act, but he had already left some time ago. The other possibility was that I could take the money and replace the light.
Ultimately my goal was to have the light back, so that seemed like the better option. I took the $20, but I don't feel great about it. Maybe I have an unreasonable desire for ideal justice. The person who suffered was the manager when it should have been the employee. But I suppose he did his own mental calculation and decided that it was better to lose $20 than to lose business in the shop or maybe lose his job. Unfortunately, the actual thief didn't suffer at all.

The Moss Beach 200K Brevet (actually, it was a little over 200K, which translated to 128 mi).
I'm tired, my muscles are a bit stiff and my knees are a little sore...and I feel GREAT!
I posted a little about this in the LD/Rando forum, but the universe must have really wanted me to do this ride because the weather was about perfect and I was blessed with no flats or mechanical failures. Also, 28 x 32 gearing was my close, personal friend on the uphills, which made up for the fact that I was on a 35 lb rig.
Scenery (beaches and inland coastal farms between Santa Cruz and Moss Beach) just made it all the more better.
Finally, I was able to kill two goals with one stone: Complete a Brevet and do a century ride.
Now I'm trying to determine if I want to start training for a 300K....

Teddy Bridgewater made good on a long-standing promise Tuesday, one that dates back to elementary school, to gift his mother Rose Murphy a pink Cadillac Escalade.
The former University of Louisville quarterback was featured in a documentary produced by Spike Lee and broadcast on Good Morning America ahead of Thursday night's NFL draft in New York City.
Lee's film told of Bridgewater's upbringing, his rise on the football field and what motivated him — his mother's fight with breast cancer.
Just in time for Mother's Day, NFL-bound football player Teddy Bridgewater gave his mom a bright pink Cadillac Escalade. As a child, he had promised he would do so when he made it to the NFL.
At the end of thethe piece, with ABC's Robin Roberts at Muprhy's home, Bridgewater told his mother, "I just want you to walk with me."
Bridgewater then took his Murphy's arm and guided her outside to the new ride.
"Just like a promised you," Bridgewater said. "Your new car."

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
