Amber Alert: A New Hope
Caleb eagerly waits in the Beehive Room for Amber to meet him. He fidgets with his hands a lot. When Amber finally enters, they immediately hug. But then Amber has to go. She'll be back. She's cold, needs to fetch a sweater. The camera lingers on Caleb looking ruminative as he again waits for Amber.
I imagine Caleb thinking, "OK! OK. She hugged you, man. Solid start. You can do this, homefry. You can win her back. Just be cool. Wait—do I have time to make her a dish of ice cream? No, better hold off on that. Good thought, though, man. Good thought. You've got this."
Let's back up a bit and put this in perspective. This was last Tuesday. It was preceded by days of discomfit and resentment, the aftermath of a comment Amber made about Caleb being self-absorbed. Caleb's obsession instantly swung in the other direction: Feeling used and unfairly maligned[1], he was done with Amber, and he wanted the whole house to know it. This became his new refrain.
OK, back to the beehive room.
Amber tells Caleb that Devin didn't hear the comments about self-absorbed men in the proper context. It was not directed toward Caleb; it was just a general comment. She tells Caleb that she knows he is a good man.
Caleb reflexively absolves her. He says that it never made sense to him anyway. As the conversation concludes, Caleb mentions that, after this season is over, he wants to stay for a week in California and take her out. Amber seems reluctant until she learns that Paola will also be there as a buffer. "It's a date," she replies cheerily.
So, of course, Caleb is once again infatuated with Amber. He tried to downplay it at first, vigorously bandying about the word "friend." It's the kind of exercise you do to (a) lie to yourself; (b) demonstrate goodwill to the other party for not embarrassing you too much; and (c) poison the well so that even if you do relapse into full fledged adoration, you have already sabotaged the effort.
But within two days, we're right back to where we began. "[I]t would be really awesome if I could just kiss her," he tells Paola, "but I'm not going to do that on TV."
Wait, What?
Hayden falls on his final trip opening the door for somebody to steal this victory. Suddenly, the buzzer goes off. The camera cuts to Devin pressing his button. "Congratulations, Cody! You are this week's second Head of Household!"
Live television has its perils, folks. This competition (BB Rager) was an unmitigated disaster. The editing made it impossible to follow. Maybe it would have worked if it were an endurance competition and we had time to process the relative standing of the competitors. Although, stacking kegs isn't as visually compelling as, say, filling up a large fishbowl with a teacup.
What's that, Julie? You have something to add?
"When we come back, we need to review the tape because we're hearing there may have been a foul."
A foul? What does that even mean? Did Cody hit someone? I only ask because I didn't see Cody on this final stretch at all. After the commercial break, Julie Chen informs us that the "foul" was Cody's foot hitting the ground before he was able to press his button. So sorry, Cody, take seat with the rest of the losers. Devin is the new HOH!
Are we going to see that footage of Cody's misstep? No? We have to wait until Sunday?
My head hurts.
Amber Alert: A New Hope Reprised
"I honestly do not feel the same, and I don't know if I ever will."—Amber
The above quotation was uttered in the Diary Room in regard to Caleb. It is not a surprising statement. We all knew this. We never needed to hear her say this directly to understand it. But that's not the point. The burden shouldn't be on Caleb to decipher her signals; it should be on Amber to clearly express her feelings.
Amber is never that unequivocal when she is talking with Caleb. She is too afraid of hurting his feelings. Sure, she told Caleb that she isn't looking for love in the Big Brother house and that she just wants get to know everyone as friends. Maybe that sounds fairly concrete to you. It does to me. But what are we doing here? We're still sifting through coded messages. The code is rudimentary, but it still lacks appropriate directness.
Every time she attempts to soften the blow, she undercuts her message. What did she think would be the corollary of kissing Caleb on the cheek? Or consider this interchange from their aforementioned reconciliation:
Caleb: "And throughout all of this I was like, you know what, that's cool if I'm not her type. Yeah, you know, I can't help it that I like to work out and that's something I enjoy. You know, that's just—that's me."
Amber: "It's not even that. Yeah, like, don't even think into that."
This is an instance when Caleb gave her an out, and she still buckled! Now, I don't think she necessarily lied;I think she's saying that Caleb's build is not an issue for her. But what she hasn't effectively communicated is that Caleb's build is not the issue for her. The issue, the reason why she doesn't' think of him as anything more than a friend, is something else. But I doubt Caleb picked up and that, and I can't say I blame him. Her response just legitimized his fantasies.
Caleb engineered this fictitious relationship in his mind. That's on him. But Amber is unwittingly perpetuating it. You'd think a model would be more adept at rejecting men.
[1] At one point, Caleb considered taking a poll of the house in regard to his so-called self-absorption.

Despite the well-known health risks for the baby, it is advisable to abstain from alcohol, even if someone proposes a toast to you. Although there is no clear recommendation on alcohol intake for pregnant women and there may be voices within your social circle that claims that a glass of alcohol might not serve any harm to your children, but it is definitely the best decision to entirely refrain from alcohol. The reason behind is that alcohol is a form of cytotoxin that could attack the brain and nerve cells of your baby at any time during pregnancy.
Habits die hard; some women may simply abandon their vices overnight during their pregnancy. Remember that every cigarette will lead to your baby taking in "passive smoke". It would be a good opportunity to become a non-smoker and remain thereafter, even after the birth of your baby.
Dairy products and eggs
You should avoid all dairy products made from raw milk during your pregnancy as they could contain listeria and trigger food poisoning caused by bacteria. Ensure that you make a shopping note to ask if the open products at the counter or at the weekly market are "made with raw milk", as a form of precaution. Avoid the following products: soft cheeses even though they are made from pasteurised or heat-treated milk, as well as all blue cheese and cheese with lubricated surface. Firm, ripened hard cheese made from heat-treated milk may seem harmless but you should always cut off the rind before consumption.
You should only consume hard-boiled eggs. Raw or semi-cooked eggs could contain salmonella, and it is safer to avoid all foods that are made with raw eggs such as desserts, mayonnaise sauces and baked goods.
What is Listeria?
Listeriosis is a form of food poisoning caused by the bacterium Listeria. Although the mother will only suffer from flu-like symptoms, the infection can be transferred to the baby through the placenta. The worst case would early induction or still birth.
Meat and sausage
Avoid raw foods of animal origin
Did you know that you should avoid raw animal foods in general to be protected from foodborne infections? Animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products made from raw milk where bacteria or parasites such as Listeria, can transmit bacteria to your baby leading to serious consequences. In addition, this can weaken the hormonal changes during pregnancy as well as your immune system to allow you to be more susceptible to infections such as Listerosis.
Be sure not to consume excessive amounts of animal innards which contain abundance of vitamin A, as an overdose of vitamin A during pregnancy can lead to stunted growth, and cause damage to the skin, liver and eyes. You can safely consume all other meats as long as they are well cooked. Remember to avoid raw meat dishes such as steak, minced pork and roast beef and smoked ham or sausages and salami. Any consumption of raw meats can lead to infectious disease caused by parasites, particularly harming the baby in the first trimester of the pregnancy. Only if the infection was detected before pregnancy, the baby is usually protected by the maternal immune system. However, it is not wise to take the risk and consume raw meat products during your pregnancy.
Soft Drinks
Coffee, black tea and caffeinated soft drinks such as Cola are allowed during pregnancy, but only in moderation (2 – 3 cups of coffee per day). Black and green tea contains caffeine and tannins which interfere with iron absorption. A useful tip would be to leave these drinks between your meals.
Vegetables, fruits and salads
Plant foods, including herbs that are not heated, should be washed thoroughly before consumption to prevent any possible infection.
The importance of diet during pregnancy
Did you know that an ideal diet during pregnancy increases the likelihood that the baby comes with a normal birth weight? In addition, the risk of being overweight or develop diabetes in the course of your baby's life is reduced. The diet during pregnancy can also have a positive impact on allergy prevention.
Consumption of a variety of food and beverages during your pregnancy can ensure that your baby is supplied with all the essential nutrients and that their nutrient reserves are spared. Our "Nutrition Guide" explains the ideal proportion of the different food groups. The different food groups are classified in the traffic light system from colours red to green and showing information on the serving size of the foods that should be consumed on a daily basis.
Physical activities and exercise are part of the healthy lifestyle. However, it is important to note that the physical activity should not be too strenuous and be easy on the joints during pregnancy.
You should consume an average of 1.5 litres or more liquid per day – depending on whether the type of meals consumed is liquid-rich. Ideal drinks include water, mineral water, herbal or fruit teas and juice flavoured mineral water.

Welcome to OMEX UK
OMEXs fully equipped laboratories in the UK, offer an in-depth analysis and treatment of all the possible problems, which can occur within the wastewater treatment industry.
This usually involves a site visit, lab analysis of the effluent, where OMEX analyse the treatment performance of the wastewater and then a trial onsite before a final tailor-made solution is formulated.
OMEX lab services based at its King's Lynn laboratories include the analysis of most elements in inorganic treatment systems using a variety of techniques, such as their ICP (Inductive Coupled Plasma-Spectrophotometer) equipment for metals analysis (including essential trace elements and other metals), analysis for low and high concentrations of total nitrogen (Ammonia/Urea/Nitrogen), and a variety of other chemical and photometric techniques.
For anaerobic processes and biogas production, OMEXs AMPTS (Automatic Methane Potential Test System) machine is used for investigating optimised anaerobic digestion and biogas production capabilities. Omex can predict the potential outcome of the addition of TEA (trace element additives) to a specific system to provide customer confidence before going to a trial stage.
Assessment of neutralisation efficiency, metals removal, and sludge reduction when using magnesium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide suspensions can also be undertaken.

Every great baby shower starts with cute invitations, right? I designed the invitations in Adobe Illustrator and printed them out at home on plain white cardstock.
Please excuse the censored text...but you get the idea. Then I added a special touch to the blank space at the top of the invite, bunting!
I cut out small triangles of scrapbook paper for the bunting, and attached them to the invite with a little bit of glue before using my sewing machine to sew them to the paper. Sewing through paper will dull your needle quite a bit, so be sure to replace it with a new one before you sew any fabric projects.
For decorations, I sewed a pink fabric bunting for the mantel and made crepe paper balls of roses (tutorial here), which I hung above the table. If you'd like to try your hand at making one, give yourself plenty of time, because they are very time consuming to make! The larger balls took two full rolls of crepe paper. I skipped a couple of steps in the tutorial to save some time, and found that it didn't really affect the appearance of the ball. First, I didn't crumple the crepe paper. I simply folded over the top edge of the crepe paper when rolling my flowers so they would look more natural. Second, I only used two drops of hot glue, one at the beginning, after a few rolls, and another at the end, to keep the flower from unraveling.
Her crib bedding is bird themed so I made a bib, burp cloth, and blanket using a black and pink bird print. Instead of using a gift bag or box, I packaged it all up in a metal bird cage.
I followed this tutorial to make the heart cut-out in the blanket. Here's a view of the back of the cut-out after it's been turned and pressed:
And here's the front before adding the lining fabric:
There were little flags for the cupcakes...
and bunting for the cake...
In lieu of a traditional guest book, I designed these little cards:
Guests wrote a special message then tied them to a vase of branches with ribbon. Later, I put them on a ring for the mom-to-be to take home with her.
Each guest got to take home some homemade beeswax lip balm.
Congratulations Kristin, we can't wait to meet your little girl!

I keep complaining that I don't write anymore. I don't even read much either, which is even more worrying. But instead of doing the logical thing, like getting off the computer and picking up a book or even posting here I just continue on internetting like a crazy person.
But thanks to my internetting I found a comic that is clearly all about me. Click here, and Laugh!
So here I am taking a small step towards writing more by actually writing. I know, we're all very proud of me.
So what is going on in the land of Jen... Well John got sick with man flu (Or a cold, whatever) and has kindly passed it on to me. And It's slowly trying to kill me. I don't know if it's my Weak american immune system or the fact that my body hates that I quit smoking again (Oh, Mom, I quit smoking again.) but I currently give myself like 2 hours until I'm dead.
I've been alternating laying in bed whining about how I'm going to die and laying on the couch whining about how I'm going to die. I forsee no other outcome but my death, to be honest. My throat is swollen (No spots, I checked. Thought that would be difficult to do with no Mother, but turns out Blackberries have flashes with their camera and it works just as well. Although less sympathy...damn.) and I sound like Jabba the hutt. Or something like that. I don't know, my brain is currently being suffocated so its not working all that great.
I fear the only thing that is going to make me feel better is a pony. So lets all pool our money together and chip in to get Jen one before she dies... None of you are reaching for your wallets, are you? Harsh. I'm hurt by that.
We're working on my Resume at the moment. And by We I mean "John was bored at work so decided to do it." which is awesome for me. I've eaten a bowl of cereal and am about to go lay on the couch and whine some more about the death that should be happening just in time for dinner!
I miss you guys, and someone please stop Hope from getting cornrows. I mean honestly, it's like she thinks she is black or something.. Sad face.
OH. Dad, I got your letter. I will be filling it out and sending it back very soon. And by very soon I mean as soon as I am no longer dying. So hopefully next week I'll put it in the mail :D
And no, I don't want you to save us any snow, but I do appreciate the offer. Kinda. But not really.

Sometimes You Have To Ask Yourself Lyrics
Artist: MxPx
Album: Life In General
Never quite just knew how to get it through
The utilitarian sloganeerian minds
And its time to stand up and redefine the lines
right now
Compartmentalizing isn't realizing
Because it's not affecting change in the real world
So get on with your life and get over mine
There's only one world and there's many different tastes
So enjoy don't employ your state
Common goals communicate to contemplate
The way things are and why
Don't pawn the status quo problems off on the other guy
Your a celebrity in your own world
Catch phrases only catching cobb webs
Spiritualized capital gain and wealth
Isn't the means to the end, isn't the end itself
Manifest individually
Manifest a sense of reality
Because it's non exclusive
Don't be so elusively blind
Things are never what they seem
You don't know what you'll find
Right now!

DVD/CD player does not function after replacing hard drive
I installed a greater capacity hard drive on a friends MacBook Pro.
The drive works perfectly, but the CD/DVD player will now recognize nothing--no CDs nor DVDs.
We don't live in the same country at the moment, so I can't reopen the case to look for the problem.
Any ideas as to the cause? I don't think I touched any other connectors, but perhaps I accidentally did.

CSX 4000 427 C. I. - Today's CSX 4000 Series 427 S/C component vehicles from Shelby Automobiles, Inc. are everything the 1965 models were, and more. The authenticity of each vehicle is documented by Shelby CSX numbers and a manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) from Shelby Automobiles signed by Carroll Shelby himself.
CSX 7000 FIA 289 C. I - The Shelby Cobra legend and racing success began with these cars, terrorizing race tracks around the world from 1962 through 1965. Today's CSX 7000 and CSX 8000 component vehicles incorporate safety and performance improvements without sacrificing driving excitement or originality.
CSX 8000 The Original 62 Model - The CSX 7000 (289 FIA) and CSX 8000 (289 Street) are authentic recreations of the Shelby Cobra 289 models that started it all.
GT40 - A quality re-creation of the original that beat Ferrari and finished in the top three positions in the grueling Le Mans 24 Hours in 1966.
MKIII - The MKIII is the only Cobra replica built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. It is aesthetically and dimensionally correct. It is sure-footed and reliable and is as exciting as the great sport roadsters of the sixties.
DAYTONA COUPE - The Shelby Daytona (also referred to as the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe) was a coupe based loosely on the AC Cobra roadster. It was built for auto racing, specifically to take on Ferrari in the GT class.
CORVETTE - Nevada Classics now brings you the excitement of the Corvette Grand Sport with two distinct packages. The Roadster and Coupe street versions.
- PERANA Z-ONE - Fully certifiable for the road, this ultra high-performance, front-engined sports coupé is Zagato's first car specifically designed for low volume commercial production. Sales of the Z-One will be limited to 999 cars per annum within Europe.

Registration service Providers research competitors and complete financial scenarios to determine the registration fee . While doing the analysis and financial planning, providers also develop databases and promotional literature to sell the course. Most online registration systems have options for automated reminder emails at time frames that you determine. Use this capability to increase your attendance, develop more rapport, and increase referrals. Post-event follow up is so often overlooked. You can stand above the crowd by doing a post-event follow-up email and/or survey. Thank your attendees, ask them what they liked about the event, and what they thought could be done better. Some online registration systems can automate that process too. For example, set the system to automatically send out personalized emails with a survey link one week after the event is over.
Online registration is transforming the meeting planning process . More than half of meeting planners recently surveyed are using it and most of the rest are planning to so soon. Satisfaction ratings are high (90% are somewhat to very satisfied) and nearly 2/3 report cost savings.
The benefits go far beyond cost savings, however. There has been an explosion of useful features that are saving time, vastly increasing efficiency, building attendance, integrating many components of the meeting planning process, establishing one-to-one marketing tools, as well as saving money, As these benefits are realized, it will become apparent that they offer much more than just registration -- the real benefits are in the many ways that the business process is streamlined and improved through digitization.
Instantly create your online registration form now with automated confirmation and reminder emails, real-time credit card processing and comprehensive reporting. You�ll love how easy it is for you and your attendees.

Lurie Cancer Center Receives "Outstanding" Rating and Core Grant Renewal from NCI
The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University received its highest rating, an overall "Outstanding", on the competitive renewal of its National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG), along with recommended funding of $24.9 million over five years. The grant award, which will run through 2018, provides essential support for the Lurie Cancer Center's nine research programs and 15 shared research facilities.
The award follows a rigorous review process by the NCI, including a peer-review site visit in February. "This rating for the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant reflects the scope and strength of the work being done by our researcher's, clinicians and staff members, said Steven T. Rosen, MD, Director of the Lurie Cancer Center. "We are honored by the NCI's continued recognition of our commitment to collaboration and to discovering more effective ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer."
First established in 1974, the center was dedicated as the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center of Northwestern University through a gift of endowment from Ann and Robert H. Lurie. The title was modified when the center received its NCI designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1998. The Lurie Cancer Center is one of 41 institutions in the United States to hold the prestigious Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the NCI, and one of only two in Illinois.
The Lurie Cancer Center is dedicated to scientific discovery, advancing medical knowledge, providing compassionate, state-of-the-art cancer care, and training the next generation of clinicians and scientists. Outstanding basic, translational, and clinical research complements a full range of prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care programs for all types of cancer.
Our faculty is comprised of clinicians and researchers from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, as well as other academic units. Together they bring the knowledge gained by participating in basic, clinical, and translational research and education directly to our patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center.

Mary Creagh MP Working hard for Wakefield
A development for nearly 260 homes in Lupset took a step closer this week after Wakefield Council's planning committee narrowly voted to approve the controversial application.
Following a two-hour debate on the plans at the Town Hall on Thursday, the committee was split on the decision. The casting vote then went to chairwoman Coun Sandra Pickin who followed the officers' recommendation for approval.
Submitted by Keepmoat Homes, the company is looking to build the 258 homes on the land behind Snapethorpe Primary School, off Milton Road. However, with part of a playing field included in the development, Sport England has objected saying the site should be protected.
As a result, the application will now be referred to the Secretary of State. Speaking at the meeting as a ward representative, Coun Hilary Mitchell said: "Twenty per cent of this application is on good-quality playing fields. The general view is that there is not enough for young people to do. "Playing fields are fairly rare these days, there is a shortage of them."
The outcome of the meeting will be a blow to Save Lupset Greenfields, the action group that has been campaigning against the proposals.
With the backing of Wakefield MP Mary Creagh, they said the site is so close to the M1 that it would lead to dangerous pollution levels for residents of the new homes. In reaction, the planning officer said that the impact on local air quality would be "negligible". Traffic problems and infrastructure issues were also raised.

|One of my worse AMS experience was on this mountain.
Mt Elbrus, Caucasus 2004. slow-going, acclimatization climb.
Before you read this post, read previous article about Acclimatization.
So, you've got AMS. Don't panic, there's hope. =)
If one is experiencing severe AMS (with edema), the only sure cure is to go down the mountain! Evacuate ASAP! If unable to evacuate, and if you're lucky to have a gamow bag (portable chamber) and/or O2 bottles – then this may be life-saving tools. Use gamow bag with big caution - make one mistake (like sudden release of pressure) and you could kill someone inside.
This article below is more focused on mild AMS (characterized by headache, nausea, occasional vomiting, lack of appetite, etc.), how to prevent it from progressing to a severe form, or how to fix;
1. Rest and avoid gaining more (sleeping) altitude. It means, if you're sick now, further walking up (to thinner air) to sleep or camp will worsen your AMS.
2. If you feel that you're getting worse (consult your guide or team mate) – consider the option of reducing your altitude by at least 1000ft. The lower the better (the thicker the air) but of course, more effort if you will go up again.
3. Hydrate! 3li or more. Just mind your electrolytes when over-hydrating (ensure you don't significantly wash down all your potassium, sodium, sugar) – over-drinking purified or distilled water may cause big problems. Best to mix water with juice, or drink other liquids like soup.
4. With lack of appetite, if would be a challenge to re-energize with food. I've tried (and witnessed AMSd teammates) to consume fruits and was able to. And try to gulp soups. Egg drop version would be easiest (and loaded with protein). In my bad AMS days, I was only able to eat noodle meals with lots of garlic.
5. Do breathing exercise. Inhale more air (get more O2 from thin air), followed by short exhale (it's hard to hold breath at altitude). At night, elevate your head (more pillows) to help with your breathing.
6. Since moving about is difficult (but highly recommended), plan your movement. Ex. step1, get tissue from my bag, step2- go to toilet, step3- get my water bottle for refill, step4- go to kitchen for refill. Trust me, with hypoxic hypoxia (lack of O2) – even simple, outlined tasks can be missed. And as a consequence, tiring. Imagine going to the bathroom 100 meters away, only to realize you forgot your tissue wipes. Easy to do while in the low urban setting, but at altitudes, when your resting heart rate (BPM) is doing 105+, performing very simple tasks shoots that up to 120 or more– it could be physically and emotionally challenging!
7. Take meds if you have to. Headache? Take your tested meds (paracetamol or ibuprofen, etc.). just ensure your meds are 'compatible' with your other meds or your condition. Some take diamox (believed to reduce AMS), which somehow failed to cure mine.
8. If you can, or force yourself to – do a 'climb high sleep low' routine. Even just a hundred meters of elevation may bring magic. Just go out, grab your cam, walk very slowly and deliberately (presumably during rest day), gain some altitude, stay for a little while (1hr or more if you can), BUT walk down to sleep at lower elevation.
9. If you are alone and experiencing bad AMS for the first time - that might be the worse days of your trekking life. My advise - best to have a team, a buddy, or a guide who can physically or emotionally nurse you back to your trekking life.
There will be days in the mountain when one feels that all his/her strength and confidence has faded or fading away. Realize that AMS may sap all these energies and mental strength. Just live thru it, fix yourself, and climb on!

Closing Holes in the Heart, ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Closure in India. Also referred to as a hole in the heart, Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect in which the wall of the heart which separates the upper heart chambers (atria) does not close completely. This menace is easily curable; in fact, success rate is above 95%. Congenital means the defect is present at birth. The healthcare centers of India generally between 1 to 2 hours to cure it completely. Small defects may never cause a problem and may be found incidentally. if you have Large or long-standing atrial septal defects, get treated as quickly as possible because it can damage your heart and lungs.
Symptoms of Atrial Septal Defects
- Tiring easily when playing
- Fatigue
- Sweating
- Rapid breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Poor growth

"Growler." Say it three times in a row, adding in extra "grrr" flair each time, and you'll probably enjoy saying the word as much as I do. Besides being just a great word, did you know most brewpubs and breweries across the U.S. sell growlers today? It's a true and wonderful fact. So what is a growler exactly, and where did this lovely word come from?
A modern-day growler is simply a glass jug that carries anywhere from a half-gallon to a gallon of beer that allows one to carry fresh ale from a local brewpub to home. Filled straight from the tap and sealed with a twist-cap or a clampdown top, filled growlers typically range anywhere from $7 to $17, depending on the size. The beauty of the growler is that is it reusable. After you've enjoyed your growler at home (they only have a 2-3 day shelf-life once opened), you can continue to bring back in your washed growler and get a refill for a lower price (refills range from $5-$14).

US consumer prices in January posted their biggest drop since 2008 as gasoline prices continued to tumble and underlying inflation rose modestly, which could allow a cautious Federal Reserve more room to hold off on raising interest rates.
Other data on Thursday showed a rebound in business investment spending plans but probably not enough to change expectations of moderate economic growth in the first quarter.
"It will be some time before the Fed gets the necessary confirmation that inflation will move back to target in the medium-term, and we continue to see September as the most natural starting point for the liftoff in rates," said Millan Mulraine, deputy chief economist at TD Securities in New York.
The Labor Department said its Consumer Price Index fell 0.7% last month, the largest decline since December 2008, after slipping 0.3% in December. It was the third straight month of decline in the index.
In the 12 months through January, the CPI fell 0.1%, the first decline since October 2009 and a sharp deceleration from December's 0.8% rise.
Fed officials have long viewed the energy-driven drop in inflation as transitory. The US central bank has a 2% inflation target.
Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen told lawmakers this week that the central bank's policy-setting committee "needs to be reasonably confident that over the medium-term inflation will move up toward its 2% objective" before it starts to raise interest rates.
Policymakers could take comfort from a marginal rise in underlying price pressures. The so-called core CPI, which strips out food and energy costs, rose 0.2% in January after edging up 0.1% in December.
Economists, however, believe the effects of lower energy prices and a strong dollar still have to work their way through to the core CPI, which could mean tame readings in the months ahead.
The core CPI was lifted by increases in the cost of shelter, recreation and apparel prices. In the 12 months through January, the core CPI rose 1.6% after a similar gain in December.
Oil glut
Softer global demand and increased shale oil production in the United States have caused an oil glut, causing crude prices to plummet.
Domestic gasoline prices plunged 18.7% in January, the biggest drop since December 2008, after falling 9.2% in December. Gasoline prices have now declined for seven straight months.
Separately, the Commerce Department said non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending intentions, increased 0.6% last month after a revised 0.7% fall in December.
Business investment has been hurt by a softening global economy, as well as a strong dollar, which has dented the overseas profits of some companies. Lower crude oil prices also are undercutting demand for equipment in the oil field.
Shipments of core capital goods, which are used to calculate equipment spending in the government's gross domestic product measurement, fell 0.3% last month after rising 0.3% in December.
Business spending was a drag on growth in the fourth quarter, holding the economy to a 2.6% annualized pace. First-quarter growth is forecast at about a 2.3% rate.
A second report from the Labor Department on Thursday showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 31,000 to a seasonally adjusted 313,000 in the week ending Friday.
The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, rose 11,500 to 294,500 last week.

Columbia residents might start noticing some changes in the land southeast of town.
The planning and zoning commission approved a zoning request from Crockett Engineering last night at City Hall.
The motion of approval will now be forwarded to the City Council.
The request asked the city to annex roughly 130 acres of mostly woodlands at the southeast corner of Route K and Old Plank Road.
Crockett applied for permanent zoning for the land for a large one-family dwelling district and a planned unit development.
Partner Tim Crocket says he is confident that the changes will be beneficial for the city.
"We're pleased for approval. We think it's a good development. We think it's a great location. It was planned years in advance with regard to utility being provided for the area," Crockett said.
He also has some other ideas for a portion of the housing district.
"I think that the biggest benefit is that this creates the ability for the developer to work with the city so the city can acquire a large park in this area," Crockett said.
All of the housing development would go on the western side of the site above the flood line.

One to one mentoring is a key part of the Leading Learning programme and provides the opportunity for participants to pick up on aspects of their 360 degree review, particular issues faced at work or perhaps elements of the taught sessions or all three. This is a rare opportunity to focus on personal development issues on a 1:1 basis.
Business in the Arts:North West (BIA:NW) designed this part of the programme having run mentoring programmes for a number of years. Vivienne Tyler (BIA:NW) and Sue Isherwood act as the key contact people.
The mentors are largely drawn from people who work, or have worked, at first or second tier levels in local government; they are volunteers and are motivated by the wish to put something back into the sector. They have a range of personal styles and career experience, but crucially we believe they will make good mentors. Matches are made on the basis of the needs of the mentee, whether the two parties are likely to establish a rapport and geography.
Benefits frequently include, amongst others, increased confidence, clearer goals and a plan to achieve them, enhanced influencing and political skills and improved team leadership. The most dramatic result was one mentee who achieved two promotions during the course of the relationship, for which the mentee gave significant credit to the mentor.
The programme is a structured one and experience has proved that this brings the best and most tangible results. Both mentors and mentees separately attend induction sessions which are designed to ensure that the understanding and expectation of the programme are shared. The inductions also explore a range of issues that may arise during a relationship and highlight how to get the most out of mentoring.
Each mentee will have supplied a CV, job description and registration form and will have had a conversation with a mentoring co-ordinator so that their aims are clarified. After matching, each party reviews the other's paperwork and if both are willing, a first meeting is set up. Following this meeting there is a 2 or 3 day cooling off period after which both sides will be contacted to check that they are happy to proceed or wish to be re-matched. At the second meeting an agreement form is completed. This defines the overall objective of the relationship and the development areas that are going to be considered in order to achieve the objective.
The expectation is that mentees will have around nine face to face sessions of 1½ to 2 hours with their mentor, though there may be contact between the meetings. The mentee generally travels to the mentor place of work or nearby venue, though we suggest that the mentor visits the mentee's workplace if at all possible.
All relationships are monitored by BIA:NW to check that all is going well, but the co-ordinators are always available, to both mentees and mentors, should any problems arise.
For many, mentoring is the most rewarding part of the Leading Learning programme, but it requires commitment. The old adage, that you get out as much (often more) than you put in, certainly applies.
Previous participants have said:
This has been a very positive experience for me and I really appreciate the support and guidance that [mentor] has so generously given me. I have met many of the objectives set and feel confident that as a result of the mentoring I am better equipped to continue to improve on not only these objectives but new challenges as they arise in the future.
I found my mentor to be a fantastic asset and have found [mentor] to be supportive, challenging, interesting and extremely knowledgeable in a range of fields. Having this opportunity has been invaluable to me as this year has been a challenging one for my service and having this relationship has helped me navigate some really difficult issues. I found this to be the best element of the NCF leading learning course in respect of my learning needs and I am pleased [mentor] is keen to meet beyond the closure of the first phase.

These beautiful neon signs are just part of the work of yesteryear on display at the Neon Muzeum in Warsaw. These days, commercial signage seems dominated by color-changing LEDs or screens that sprawl across acres of building facade. Giant words flash and dissolve in inelegant and often illegible typography. But these old, artful, and hand-wrought signs harken back to a simpler era in a way that only glass tubes of electrified gas can. It's a warmer feeling for some than for others.
The typefaces here are sharp and they have a satisfying dimension. I tend to think of type as something mostly printed and flat, but these signs have a depth even when they illuminated at night. From the form of the aluminum letters supporting the neon, to the way the the tubes overlap when folded, there are different magnitudes of depth as you move toward and away from the signage. But there is also a history (see "Polish Cold War Neon" review halfway down the page) about neon signage in the cold war era that makes their presence and preservation more compelling; the signs were "part of international attempts to reconcile socialism and consumerism . . . a radiant 'You are here.' "

The reason for it is that my legs needed the road again. The route is caused by my wish to see the southern european small countries of Vatican, San Marino, Monaco and Andorra. That gave the skeleton of the trip. After some small adaptions to what I now think may be nice, that is what the planned routes looks like:
|Palermo - Barcelona - as planned before knowing what will come...
I guess this will be around 4.000km, so at least 2 month of Southern Europe!
Now I have to do the last preparations and go to bed early as the my alarm is set for 3:40 tomorrow morning.

Arugula Cracker Appetizers!
In 2013, Jammer and I took an oath and declared no more potato chips in our household! Unfortunately, we could not eat these tasty round snacks in moderation. This new commitment provided a new challenge: what do we snack with these days? We tried toast, crackers, oatmeal, and a variety of carbohydrates that just did not fill the void. Until now! Inspired by the kitchn, I decided to play around with Melba Toast, and a new and healthy snack was made.
- Place Melba Toast, preferably the sea salt version, on a plate. Lightly cover each piece of toast with cream cheese. We like to use Trader Joe's vegan cream cheese, since we are flexitarian.
- Chop arugula and onions. Preferably with herb scissors. Place on top of the cream cheese covered toast.
- Lightly season with rosemary, kosher salt, and white pepper. Then, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
- Enjoy!
How do I tofu? Or how I pan-fry tofu…
A dear cousin of mine asked me once, "How do I tofu?" And while there are many ways to tofu, this is how I started to do it after I banned frequent trips to the farmer's market for that beloved free-range, locally sourced bacon. It's not the same as bacon, but I think it's good!
- Start with extra firm tofu. You want to drain out as much liquid as possible. Here's a blog that shows you how to do so.
- After draining, thinly slice the tofu into squares.
- Grab some nutritional yeast, which can be bought at your local Whole Foods or health food store. This stuff is magical, stuffed with protein and vitamins. Take your tofu squares, and gently "bread" the tofu in it, making sure to cover both sides.
- Heat up a frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Make sure to evenly distribute the oil on the pan, and then place the tofu on it. Take liquid smoke, and add 1-3 drops on each piece of tofu. This is optional, but you can add a tiny bit of maple syrup, too. Cook each side of tofu until the nutritional yeast is golden brown. Usually this takes 2-4 minutes on each side with medium high heat.
The finished product is shown here with crunchy lemon coconut couscous, sautéed kale and mushrooms. Still perfecting that recipe, so can't share it just yet!

On Import Modding a Super NES
Not long after CGR Undertow posted a video about import modding the North American Super NES to play Japanese Super Famicom games, I decided to try it myself and see if I could indeed play Super Famicom games on my system. The entire process was very simple and resulted in my SNES being able to play not only my North American SNES games, just as it always has, but also Super Famicom games flawlessly.
Coke & Liqueur Float Drink Recipe
Cuteness and I bought some of Dr. McGillicuddy's Intense Root Beer Liqueur, and so I thought I would experiment with it based on the vanilla ice cream and liqueur mix, or "root beer float." What I came up with was the following drink, the Coke & Liqueur Float, which turns out to be dastardly and dangerously delectable and delicious:
1 part Carolans Irish Cream Liqueur (as good as Bailey's but cheaper)
1 part Root Beer Liqueur
2 parts Coke
For a drink with roughly the alcohol equivalent of a shot of 40 proof alcohol, you would mix 1 oz Irish Cream Liqueur, 1 oz Root Beer Liqueur, and 2 oz Coca-Cola. Enjoy! Oh, and if you've never had a Coke float, it's the same as a root beer float but with Coke: quite good. Cuteness says they go well with these cupcakes.
Axelay Review
One of the many Super Nintendo gems published by Konami and tucked away in the Wii Virtual Console's catalog is Axelay, a single player, spaceship shoot 'em up with great weapon options and alternating vertically and horizontally scrolling stages.
SoftBrew Coffee Maker Versus French Press
I've learned this and that from Cuteness concerning how to brew a decent cup of joe; use filtered water, freshly ground beans or beans stored in the freezer up to two weeks, and a decent syrup such as one by Torani. Many will tell you that a French Press also helps, and while I do have one, on an impulse (and since it was on sale) I bought a Sowden Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker from ThinkGeek. Both the French Press and the SoftBrew Coffee Maker are quite similar, for they both are used to brew coffee without a paper filter, which allows the brew to retain some of the flavors of the beans that would otherwise be lost. With both brewers, ground beans are measured out and dumped into the brewer. Hot water is then poured in, the brew is left to sit for a few minutes, and then it's done. The design difference is how each brewer filters the grounds from the beverage; the French Press has a plunger that is pressed into the container, while the SoftBrew Coffee Maker uses a cylindrical filter that has tiny pores. Both are perfectly capable coffee makers, but I've had the chance to use them enough to draw some comparisons.
Vegan Doughnut Recipe
Growing up, I was pretty spoiled when it came to doughnuts. One of the best doughnut bakeries in the country, The Original House of Donuts, was in my backyard. I also have fond memories of going to church and getting a free doughnut and milk. It gave me something to look forward to after communion! So, when my new local parish needed help providing doughnuts after mass, I was up for the challenge. Unfortunately, the St. Louis area, where I live, does not have a doughnut that lives up to my standards. So, off to the kitchen I went! The only problem was…I did not want to fry. And if possible, these were going to be vegan. I wanted everyone with any sort of dietary restriction to enjoy these iced baked goods!
Fortunately, I was able to provide!
The Ingredients for the doughnut itself:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I leave this out sometimes)
- 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy margarine, softened
- 2 parts egg replacer substitute
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your doughnut pan.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together.
- Beat the sugar and soy margarine in another bowl until combined.
- Then add the vanilla extract and coconut milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Fill each doughnut well until it is 3/4 full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back at touch. Let them cool slightly before taking them out of the pan.
- Ice them using the recipe below!
Doughnut glaze ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (replace with same amount of powdered sugar if you want vanilla icing)
- 3 tablespoons soy milk or water
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Whisk together powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
- Then slowly stir in milk or water and the vanilla extract. Whisk until silky and smooth. If you need to make it easier to mix, you can add more milk or water. I've only needed to do this once or twice.
- Dip doughnuts into the mixture. I twist them to make sure everything is covered. This glaze hardens FAST, so if you're going to do sprinkles, make sure you add them immediately after glazing.

The first thing that I do when I'm promoting a particularly good piece of content is to scope out the websites within the design community that allow user submitted content. There are a couple of larger sites / blogs with good content that allow this – a simple tagline with a link that can direct visitors to your site. This can drive traffic to popular posts, and convert some other people's traffic to your RSS subscription. If you write a really good newsworthy article and don't spam the websites that allow content to submitted, this can be a great way of growing your site.
So here's the 35 brilliant websites generous enough to share their traffic with you – some of them even follow their links as an added bonus, and could well boost your search position for that article.
Direct Link to Submit:http://www.noupe.com/designnews.php
Traffic Rank Technorati: 557
Twitter Followers: 3311
RSS Subscribers: 20,389
Twitter Account: http://twitter.com/noupe
DoFollow: Yes
Owned by Noura Yehia, Noupe has grown in size and stature to be ranked within the top 1000 blogs in the world. Simply with outstanding content, its a must read for many within the design and development community. It has become notorious for publishing easy to follow tutorials on a wide range of topics ranging from JQuery to the latest how to trends with Photoshop. The add news section can be found top right on Noupe's home page, I couldn't link direct to it here, as it utilises a jquery popup, but you should be able to find it easy enough. You will probably receive around 40 visitors+ from Noupe, as the news is frequently rotated as it gets added.
Design You Trust
URL: http://designyoutrust.com/
Traffic Rank Technorati: 1,186
Twitter Followers: 1,361
RSS Subscribers:12,039
Twitter Account: http://www.twitter.com/designyoutrust
PageRank: 3
DoFollow: No
Design you trust, whilst not a blog, is still worthy of a mention. Having made their way inside the Technorati top 2000, they allow user generated content to drive the entire site. If you are a graphic design artist, and want to get some kudos within the design community, it is more than worth a look. I wouldn't recommend putting articles on this one- rather it works quite well if your content is primarily visual. Creative photos and artwork would fit inhere perfectly, and drive traffic to a photoblog or website. Simply sign up, logon and submit your work along with an attribution to get traffic off this one.
Computer Luv

Traffic Rank Technorati: 1,550
PageRank: 4
DoFollow: Yes
Computer Love offers a user generated link feed on the right hand side of their site. They cater mainly for digital creatives, so content which is visually impressive would do well here. They host the content on their site, but do offer a link back to the authors portfolio.

DoFollow: No
As with CSS Globe, Abduzeedo requires a short registration form to allow you post community news. The actual community news section is as big and bold as the rest of the abduzeedosite. Which gives you maximum exposure on one of their tabs. They actually have a larger subscriber base than Noupe, although not as many backlinks – which has a significant impact on your Technorati rank.
PSDTuts (tuts+ Network)

This gives them a firm standing when it comes to traffic, so promoting your site on here is guaranteed traffic. If you feel that your article fits well into one of the other sites mentioned (e.g. if your article is about Flash – use Flashtuts), they also provide user submitted link feeds within them.

Instant Shift out of all the websites I've seen has (interestingly) very minimal branding on it. No logos at all, just content. There's a lesson to be learned there somewhere, it's remarkable the reach that this site has, and how well it does without it! If there has ever been a great example of how content is king, this is it. The user submitted content section is generally approved within 24 hours, and once live make a welcome appearance on the home page.

Thu 1 Sep 2011 in 45,-122:
Just south of the Cascade Station area, near Portland International Airport.
- ...and his puppet Kate!
I'm heading into Portland today, and the hash is in an undeveloped lot just South of IKEA. See ya there, maybe.
I plan to stop in at about 13:00, will look for Michael5000's mark. kydlt
I took a quick sidetrip off the freeway and approached the hashpoint from Airport Way. After being blocked by a hotel fence and the MAX line, I parked in a dodgy fashion on Mt. St. Helens Avenue and tried to look official as I went across the mown vacant field to the hashpoint. I placed evidence of my passing in a nearby weed.
Michael5000 jokingly suggested to Kate, a civilian in this business, that it would be a hoot if she were to visit the hashpoint. To his surprise, she did. Results: "I'm calling this one 'close enough'. Discovered some key ingredients were missing from this venture -- a GPS that lets you put in the EXACT coordinates and closed toe shoes. Ouch."
| Michael5000 earned the Puppet Master Geohash achievement
I stopped in on my way to the trainstation. Was short of time so I and the lovely other Kate rushed over and back out. She made some comment about no tevas next time. Took photo of Michael5000's artifact, left one of my own.

ROME (Reuters) - The Italian government has agreed to appoint Fabrizio Palermo as the new CEO of state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) and Alessandro Rivera as director-general of the Treasury, political sources said on Friday.
The decision ended weeks of tension over the sensitive appointments, which had rattled markets.
Palermo is currently chief financial officer at CDP, while Rivera is head of the financial sector policy and legal affairs department at the Treasury.

While you are participating in a study, if Ethica detects any obstacle in the study operation, it informs you about it and helps you to resolve the obstacle. One of these obstacles are related to the studies which require monitoring your app usage statistics.
Some studies require to monitor statistics on your app usage. In other words, they need to record how often you use what app. Ethica by default does not have the permission to record this data. In order to do so, you need to explicitly allow Ethica to have access to these information.
If you are part of a study which requires monitoring app usage statistics, but you have not granted Ethica with the required permissions to monitor app usage statistics, you receive a notification similar to the following:
