I love the heft and old-fashioned feel of a glass jar… it reminds me of olden-day larders stocked with food that's been "put up" from the summer. I try to choose tomatoes, jams, peanut butter, spaghetti sauces, pickles, and other packaged food in glass jars whenever possible because I also love that glass is unreactive — meaning it won't leach chemicals into your food — and that it's almost universally recyclable.
But really, there's no need to recycle those jars right away when there are so many ways you can reuse them before they hit your recycling bin. Clear glass has an elegant, clean and classic look, especially if you can find effective ways to remove the label, so there are nearly unlimited ways to fill 'em and reuse 'em. Here are just a few of my very favorite ways to repurpose glass:
- Make a jar salad: Among the hottest pins on Pinterest are salads that are layered in mason jars, with the dressing at the bottom. The idea is that you can transport the salads, packed in a lunch or for a picnic, and when you're ready to eat, simply turn it upside down, give it a shake, and voila: A perfectly dressed salad that's still crisp and unwilted.
- Create a casual flower vase: Few things are more charming than a fistful of just-picked wildflowers poked into a jar of water. They're lovely on their own, but you can also dress up a vase by painting it, or wrapping the threaded mouth with wire so it can be hung on a wall.
- Use as a candle lantern: Get out the paints or tissue paper and decorate the exterior of a glass jar with paint, decoupage, glitter or other ornamentation. Put a tea light or votive inside and admire the beautiful glow! As with the vase, you can easily turn your new candleholder into a wall sconce or a hanging lantern simply by creating a wire hanger.
- Shake up a salad dressing: A lidded glass jar can perfectly emulsify a vinaigrette. Add the ingredients (the classic proportions are 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, with a teaspoon or two of mustard and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper), put on the lid, and shake vigorously. If you don't use it right away, store it in the jar and give it another shake to emulsify again before serving. Simply Recipes has some yummy recipes to try out.
- Contain water for painting: My kids are always wanting to paint with little pots of acrylics, or the old-fashioned palettes of watercolor cakes. I never like to use my drinking glasses for them to swish around — who knows what sort of chemicals lurk in that paint? A supply of old glass jars is just the thing, and I can always recycle them (or repurpose them with another of the uses in this list) after we're done.
- Caddy flatware or utensils: Collect a set of three Mason jars or other same-sized-and-shaped jars, and fit them into a tray or wooden crate. They make a perfect caddy for forks, spoons and knives to set out at a party or carry outside to the picnic table. A large jar can also be used to corral utensils or other kitchen tools like offset spatulas, measuring spoons and vegetable peelers.
- Drink from it: I buy Japanese seasoning sprinkles that come in the cutest little glass shakers. When they're empty, I cut off the metal shaker lid, soak off the label, and they're just the right size for juice glasses. I also use them in the bathrooms for a drinking glass and a toothbrush holder. Large Mason jars can also serve as nice, festive drinking glasses, and you can even find instructions on how to punch a hole in the lids to add a straw, for a travel cup.
- Reuse for canning pickles or jellies: If you make jams, pickles, tomato sauce or other jarred, preserved foods, you can reuse the glass jars again and again for canning in subsequent seasons. Just be sure to check the jars that they're not chipped or cracked, and do need to buy new flat lids (you can use the screw-on band as long as it's not rusted or warped). If you don't can, but you've been given a jar of jam by a friend, return the jar after you finish your homemade goodie.
- Organize a medicine cabinet or desk: Small jars, like baby-food jars or pimento jars, are ideal to organize tiny items in the bathroom or home office. In the office, they're just the right size for paper clips, thumbtacks and rubber bands, while a taller jar can be used to hold pens and pencils. In the medicine cabinet, use appropriate-sized jars for cotton balls, cotton swabs, barrettes and hair elastics, makeup brushes and toothbrushes.

The ultimate guide to how to not be a creep on Facebook.
1. Over enthusiastic greetings
People who don't know you are not interested in your over enthusiastic His and Hellos. The extra 'iiiiiiiiiii' and 'oooooo' just show how desperate you are.
2. Weird Compliments
If you don't someone don't just start your conversation with a creepy compliment. And especially do not compliment them on some DP they put up years ago, you stalker.
3. Your Phone Number
What are they supposed to do with your phone number? What do you expect when you send someone just your phone number without any explanations? Do you assume that they'll call you up, listen to your voice and fall in love? Doesn't happen bro.
4. Declaration Of Your Love
Again, they are total complete strangers, you don't love them you just think they look hot in their profile pictures. End of discussion.
5. Declaration of your lust
So let me get this straight, you're lonely and no one loves you so you think that it'd be appropriate to ask some stranger to fulfill your carnal desires? Nuh uh. What it will do is make them lodge a complaint against you.
6. Demands
You can't even have your friends meet you for dinner nowadays, but you expect that if you message a stranger demanding them to come somewhere they'll just come running to you. Get out of your fantasy zone man. Also no-no to fraaaandship demands.
7. The Never-Give-Up messages
If they didn't reply to your first 10 messages, they won't reply to the next 20 either. Get a hint, they DO NOT want to talk to you. Stop pestering people with your incessant 'Hi', 'Hello', 'Happy Sunday' etc.
8. Images
Please don't steal their pictures from Instagram, edit them and send to them saying "Look I made you prettier." Also, don't send them unsolicited pictures of yourself captioned 'Handsome Hunk', keep your images to yourself.

Building Surveyors are knowledgeable in a wide range of property and construction related matters.
At times a building surveyor's skills overlap with other professions such as architecture, structural engineering or quantity surveying. However, their core skills are in defect diagnosis, building survey and dilapidations work.
If you need to understand or record the condition of your built assets we can help.
Chris Milnes, Head of Expert Services – Building Surveying
Defect Diagnosis
Building pathology is the investigation and diagnosis of the causes of defects in buildings. Our team of building surveyors is highly skilled and experienced in assessing buildings to establish the source of defects and advise on repair strategies. Where necessary we are able to offer specialist testing and investigation methods utilising the latest technology in order to provide the most accurate diagnosis of the problems. We can arrange for the use of specialist access equipment or utilize mobile cameras so that a full inspection of normally inaccessible areas can be made. With our knowledge of building construction and technology used over the centuries, we can advise on properties of any age and provide our clients with a comprehensive report on defects occurring, repairs required and formulate planned maintenance programmes. Our client instructions have included diagnosis of defects to Grade 1 historic buildings through to defects occurring in brand new domestic housing – defects can occur in any building of any age or type. The diagnosis and repair of defects in buildings will ensure that the life of your property is prolonged and the investment protected.
Expert Evidence
Gateley Vinden's experienced building surveyors regularly provide expert technical evidence in relation to property and construction disputes. This includes a comprehensive analysis of the matter in dispute followed by either initial informal advice or preparation of an expert report for submission to the court as part of a claim or defence. Our building surveyors are trained in giving evidence under cross examination and have courtroom experience. A number of our surveyors are also members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' Expert Witness Registration Scheme. Our clients range from private householders to national PLC companies.
Our areas of expertise:
- Boundary determination and party walls
- Building surveying
- Construction standards, specifications and defects
- Construction disputes and claims
- Dilapidations and housing repair
- Professional negligence
- Management of construction health and safety
Property Acquisition
Buildings can harbour an array of defects. At Gateley Vinden, our team of Chartered Building Surveyors provide a range of services which will help you identify such problems. Information is always presented in a clear and understandable format in order to assist your understanding of our advice. Pre-Purchase Surveys If you are considering the acquisition of a property and demand peace of mind, we can help. You may need to know the property's condition, any defects present (and their remedies) and the need for specialist investigations before you complete the purchase. We can carry out a comprehensive inspection of the property and provide a bespoke report which will be tailored to suit the type of property and your specific requirements. Measured Surveys A measured survey will provide dimensional information on land or property. This can be useful to determine space requirements at the feasibility stage.
Commercial EPCs
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive came into effect in 2008 and has had a major impact on the UK property industry for new developments, sales or lettings. The legislation states that property developers, landlords and owners in England and Wales are not able to construct, sell or lease a commercial building without providing an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to a prospective buyer or tenant. Non-compliance will result in failure to complete conveyancing or possible action by Trading Standards Officers, including fines of up to £5,000. Gateley Vinden is accredited to provide Energy Performance Certificates for commercial buildings which are to be leased or sold.
Landlord & Tenant
Dilapidations Dilapidations have significance for any person letting a property or any person occupying a property under a lease agreement. Dilapidations claims arise from breaches of repairing covenants contained in a lease. At or near the end of a tenant's lease, the landlord may instruct a surveyor to prepare a schedule of dilapidations which outlines building repairs that the tenant is responsible for under the terms of the lease. We will use our expertise to identify and comment on breaches of lease covenants before suggesting appropriate remedies, preparing schedules and negotiating with other parties to achieve settlement of the claim. Acting as an advisor to wither landlord or tenant, our aim is to provide objective advice in order to achieve settlement of the claim. We are also to act as expert witness in dilapidations matters where out of court settlement is not achieved. Schedules of Condition We advise all our commercial clients who are entering into a lease agreement to commission a Schedule of Condition. This survey can be appended to a lease to provide a property condition benchmark. The Schedule can be re-visited at the end of the lease term in order to help establish a tenant's responsibilities to repair the property. Lease repairing obligations advice Using our expertise in settling dilapidations claims, we are well placed to advise businesses on the impact of repairing obligations contained in their lease. To aid financial planning, we are also able to inspect premises and provide projections of likely dilapidations liabilities at the end of a lease term.
Asset Management
Maintaining property can be expensive. At Gateley Vinden we can help you develop or improve your property maintenance strategy to help reduce unnecessary long term costs. Condition Surveys Establishing the physical condition of property is essential as it enables maintenance works to be prioritised and costed. We work closely with clients in order to formulate a condition survey brief which is specific to their requirements. In the past we have carried out detailed condition surveys on school and nursery buildings, manufacturing facilities, retail premises, historic buildings and leisure facilities. Planned maintenance schedules and budget costs In addition to our property condition assessment services, we are able to advise clients on future property maintenance liabilities. We can also advise on strategies to improve the effectiveness of a maintenance regime and further likely costs of maintenance works over a given period. In this way, we can help improve the cost and operational effectiveness of a business.
Property Refurbishment
We believe that all construction projects require detailed planning and sound management from inception through to completion.
Our Building Surveyors can provide a complete property refurbishment service to suit your needs including the following services:
- Design and specification
- Principal Designer
- Contract administration
- Project management
- Feasibility and space planning
- Preparation of Planning, Building Regulation and Licensing Applications to the Local Authority.
Insurance Cover and Claims
Reinstatement cost assessments We can inspect and measure premises, preparing cost estimates to cover the demolition and re-building of the premises to determine the appropriate level of insurance cover required. Claim management Our surveyors have expertise in recovering loss in accordance with policy terms. WE are regularly retained to provide opinion in relation to causation of loss and quantum.
Conservation of Historic Buildings
We are both qualified and experienced in providing clients with conservation advice in respect of period and historic buildings. Such buildings generally demand a different approach to maintenance and repair works than a modern building in order that the character and materials of the building can be conserved. We can advise clients on repair solutions and liaise with Local Authority Conservations Officers in order to obtain the necessary statutory consents.
Neighbourly Matters
Party Wall Surveying The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 regulates the relationship between neighbouring owners in the context of specific constructions work on, or close to, a boundary between adjoining properties. It is a legal requirement to inform neighbouring property owners of such construction works. Our Building Surveyors can provide initial advice and Party Wall services to both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners. In addition, our Building Surveyors are also members of the leading Party Wall specialist organisations. Boundary Disputes One of the most common conflicts between neighbours is a dispute over the location of a boundary. This is often a very emotive issue where parties assume entrenched positions. This can lead to expensive legal proceedings. Our surveyors are experienced in collecting evidence with identifies the boundaries between two properties and can provide realistic solutions to resolve the dispute and avoid litigation. If required, we can also provide expert evidence in such matters in a single joint capacity or party nominated capacity. Scaffold Access / Crane oversail agreements Your development proposals may impact on land or property owned by neighbouring parties. Alternatively, you may own land which you feel is being used without your permission. We can advise and provide practical solutions to resolve, defend or prevent any actions for trespass.
Home Quality Mark (HQM) – to be launched in Autumn 2015
This national quality mark will give people the confidence that the new homes they are choosing to buy or rent are well designed and built and cost effective to run. It will also allow house builders to demonstrate the high quality of their homes and to differentiate them in the marketplace.
The Home Quality Mark provides impartial information from independent experts on a new home's quality. It clearly indicates to householders the overall expected costs, health and wellbeing benefits, and environmental footprint associated with living in the home. The Mark helps everyone to fully understand the quality, performance and attributes of a new build home.
Brought to you by BRE, the UK's leading building science centre, the Home Quality Mark is based on years of building standards experience. It is part of the BREEAM family of quality and sustainability standards.
The Home Quality Mark is a rigorous and relevant standard for new homes, using a simple 5-star rating to provide impartial information from independent experts on a new home's design and constructions quality and running costs.
It will also show the impact of the home on the occupant's health and wellbeing, as buildings become more airtight, respiratory conditions rise and our populations gets older. It will demonstrate the home's environmental footprint and its resilience to flooding and overheating in a changing climate. In addition, the Mark will evaluate the digital connectivity and performance of the home as the speed, reliability and connectivity of new technology becomes ever more critical.
The Home Quality Mark will enable housing developers to showcase the quality of their new homes and identify them as having the added benefits of being likely to need less maintenance, cheaper to run, better located and more able to cope with the demands of a changing climate.
Building Surveying FAQ's
What is Building Surveying?
Put simply, Chartered Building Surveyors are trained professionals who are able to offer property, land and construction technical advice to commercial companies, the public sector and private individuals.
What is planned maintenance?
A Chartered Building Surveyor can help put together a maintenance programme for a property which will identify in advance both day to day repair items as well as items of work which will need attention in the longer term. The budgets for this work can also be set in advance. This is planned maintenance.
What is a Building Survey?
A Building Survey is a bespoke report concerning structure and fabric which is usually provided for clients who intend to buy or take a lease of a property. The report is presented in elemental format so that comments on individual components of the building are grouped together. The report will also point out areas of concern where further investigation may be necessary.
What is Subsidence?
Subsidence occurs as a result of ground movement below foundations of a property causing downward movement of the structure. Subsidence usually occurs due to; mining activity in the past close to the property, trees and defective drains. Certain types of soil below a property can also cause subsidence.
What is Settlement?
Settlement is different to subsidence in that it is caused by the load of the building causing downward movement of the ground below it. The difference between settlement and subsidence is important as most insurance policies will not cover settlement whereas it is more common for subsidence to be covered under property defects.
I have recently noticed a large crack in my wall. What should I do?
The first thing to do is notify your insurer of the problem. Many insurers will recommend that you seek specialist advice on property defects. Our team of Chartered Building Surveyors can assess the cause of the problem and recommend a repair strategy. We are used to dealing with insurance companies and loss adjusters and can manage claims on your behalf.
What is Rising Damp?
Rising damp is caused by ground water moving up a wall by capillary action. An effective damp proof course in a wall will prevent this from occurring. Rising damp is often confused with other forms of dampness. If mis-diagnosed, repairs can at best be ineffective and at worst, damaging to the building, creating additional property defects.
What is the Party Wall etc. Act 1996?
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a piece of legislation borne out of the London Building Acts which provides a framework for preventing and resolving boundary disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings. If it is intended to carry out work which is covered by the Party Wall Act must serve a notice telling their neighbour of their intentions.
A Party Wall Surveyor can advise on the application of the Party Wall Act and can serve the correct notices on behalf of the party who wants to do the work. Equally, a Party Wall Surveyor can advise the neighbouring owner on their options once they are in receipt of a notice. Should a dispute then arise, the surveyors will resolve the matter on behalf of the parties.

Mollie Aeders is home on spring break from boarding school in Michigan, a high school for kids who learn differently.
The 15-year-old has dyslexia. The Aeders would prefer their teen to be home with them and her siblings– but they found that finding the right school for Mollie here in Chicago, became very frustrating and virtually impossible.
Jeff Aeder, Mollie's father, said "going to a school that didn't fit her profile was very tough as far as self-confidence goes and we knew that there was a better alternative."
And Mollie knew it too "because if you wanna go to a good college, you have to go to a good school," she said.
So the couple decided they'd build their own school, for Mollie and others like her.
"It very quickly became more than about Mollie, it became about everybody who was struggling," Jeff said.
It took three and a half years, but now the Wolcott school as they named it, is set to open in September of 2013 on the city's near west side.
And Mollie will be one of the first to go there.
"Wolcott will be school a rigorous college prep high school that meets the kid where they are as a kid
Would describe it, that gets them," Jennifer said.
It costs $12 million to purchase and renovate the old Union League Boys Club in Ukrainian Village.
Jeff raised the money. "Everybody who we approached with the idea pretty much said how quickly can u get it open and how can I help while Jennifer traveled across country researching, until she got this school just right."
"As Jeff says in this process we are one brain. So I think we probably both could not have done it without the other."
But what's ironic about this whole thing is that Jeff Aeder, now a very successful business man, nearly failed out of high school.
"When I left school I never thought I'd step in another one again," he said. "I didn't leave school saying there's a better way, I left school saying I'm done and I never would have imagine that I'd be involved in a project like this."
He may have been a failure at school but he's a success when it comes to giving back.
On the heels of Wolcott, in January, he opened up Milt's Barbeque for the Perplexed, in Lakeview.
A kosher barbeque restaurant named for his uncle Milt.
And get this, 100% of the profits made here go Directly to charity.
"I love it and I love people so to be able to come here and meet and talk to people feeling that you can bestow hospitality and make a couple smile, it's great," Jeff said.
It's also where he employs youngsters, like Darius Smith.
"I was 19-years-old when he gave me my job, he gave my other friends a job and he gave another friend a job and he gave my other friend a job, he didn't have to do it, but He did it . I took it as courage, he's great man," Darius said.
Jeff said "for me it's an absolute dream come true. It is something to be in a position in life where you are passionate about what u do, you wake up every morning and look at these projects and how they're touching people's live. If that can't Make you feel good, then you're not gonna feel good."
Jeff Aeder and Jenifer Levine, they're two of Chicago's Very Own.

Next Generation Sensing Technologies put the SMART in Robot AGVs
Automated and integrated systems are proving to be more efficient and cost-effective solutions in industries like Material Handling. The rise of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in these applications is driving the need for safer and more reliable sensing systems and controls.
-By Alessandro Bosio, Sensata Technologies
The Industry 4.0 revolution is enabling a new generation of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for use in the first wave of smart manufacturing and distribution facilities. This revolution also requires new ways of thinking across all aspects of materials handling, especially when it comes to functional safety and reducing accidents in the workplace, and in turn, presenting a new challenge to sensing and control manufacturers.
Download this White Paper to learn more about how sensors are moving material handling towards safe automation.

Urban Fantasy
Urban Fantasy novels encompass a whole range of romantic sub-genres but focus more on the adventures of the hero or heroine and often feature darker characters. They are exciting, fast-paced and action-packed. Laurell K Hamilton, Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong, Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris and Ilona Andrews are just a few of the mega-popular authors that have become must reads.

A couple of weeks ago I received a hand-me-down Audiovox SMT 5600 "smartphone" from Marc Smith (my manager at Microsoft), so that I could start to test out the various mobile apps that the research and product groups are developing. (I'm paying for my own service, though, in case you're wondering.) It took quite some time to get service set up on the phone, due to the overall stupidity of Cingular and its handling of the AT&T merger. The short version is I can't use a Cingular SIM in the card, because Cingular won't unlock it for me to use with their service; instead, I have to use an AT&T SIM, with an AT&T billing plan, even though Cingular took over AT&T. Silliness.
Marc gave me the phone and a USB cable for it--and when I also asked for an AC charger, he told me the USB cable could be used to charge the phone. Good enough, I thought. One less cable to use. Until this Friday, when I plugged my low-on-power phone into my laptop and went to bed. My laptop sensibly turned itself off not long after that, since I'd forgotten to override the power settings. And the phone ran completely out of power and went dead.
In the morning, I turned the computer on, figuring I could recharge the phone before we headed out for the day...but the amber charging light didn't come on. I tried it on another USB port, and then on another computer. Still no luck. I spent some time poking around online, and discovered that the SMT5600 will only charge over USB if the ActiveSync software has established a connection. And if the phone is dead, obviously the connection can't be established. That's not a smart phone--it's a really, really dumb phone.
We tried five different stores yesterday looking for an AC (or auto) charger--Cingular sells the phone, but the store didn't have a charger. Neither did Best Buy. Or Fry's. Or Car Toys. Or Radio Shack. Feh. Then I had a brainstorm--we now live 1.1 miles from Robert Scoble, who I know has the same phone. So I called Robert, only to find that his AC charger was at the office rather than at home. He pointed out that I could use my magical blue employee badge to get into his building and retrieve it from his office (non-managerial offices at Microsoft seem not to have locks for the most part). Then this morning I remembered that one of my colleagues has a whole pile of iMates (rebranded SMT5600s, basically), and that the chances were good there was a spare charger there. So this morning I headed over to campus with the kids, and found a whole pile of chargers in my colleague's office. I borrowed one, which I'll return tomorrow morning--I felt a little awkward "stealing" it like that, but it clearly wasn't being used today, and it was out in plain sight. :/
The phone's charging now, and I'll be careful not to let it get to the danger level again until I have my own AC charger.

Metronor Enters the German Automotive Workshop Market
Metronor technology has been introduced into auto repair and service shops. Our technology allows the user to acquire accurate measurements very quickly in narrow and cluttered spaces. Our hand-held probe has absolutely no movement restrictions, making it ideal for environments where the operator needs to measure hard-to-reach and even hidden features.
The new products shown at the Karosserie und Schadenstage in Würzburg, Germany last April received great feedback, confirming that Metronor measuring systems are the best solution for this type of application.
Take a look at the video below.

This little cutie was in a big hurry to meet her mommy and daddy and decided to enter this world well before her due date. After spending several weeks in the NICU, her mommy was excited to bring her home and we arranged to capture her first portraits shortly after.
Her mommy warned me that this little girl does not like to sleep, but I didn't mind, it just meant more snuggles for me, and who could complain about snuggling a sweet baby girl :-)
Despite her efforts to not miss a single thing, she eventually found me boring enough to fall into a deep sleep, and I was able to capture sweet photos for her parents.
Don't forget to like Mamique Photography on Facebook as many exciting announcements will be first made there.

Jamel Shabazz grew up on the streets of Red Hook, Brooklyn, 80s. Violent rival street gangs, drugs, and arrests were part of the city's dark fabric gave rise to his deep sense of empathy and an urge to show a different perspective. From the age of 15, picking up a camera gave Shabazz a sense of purpose: "It allowed me an opportunity to have a voice and use my voice in a way that can inspire love and unity." Driven to help people in his community to stay out of trouble, he spent his free time as a proactive street photographer searching for and spreading hope. His iconic images capture the lifestyle and vibrant energy of the time like no other.

Global Security Operations
Today, more than ever before, the demand for security guard services in educational facilities has sky rocketed. In light of recent incidents in schools and universities nationwide, parents, administrators and yes, even students have requested more security presence at their facilities. Active shooter training has become a valuable line of support for our security officers. We believe that the first line of defense to protect our children, staff, and all individuals at educational facilities must be the presence of well trained and alert security officers. A wide range of tools are available for consideration and implementation in order to make our educational facilities a safer place to be. In addition to providing well trained security officers, Global Security Ops will assist in developing a unique security program that may include installation of metal detectors, random wand search and screening, and or the installation of CCTV cameras. We will provide comprehensive services and take every measure to provide a strong first line of defense.

I'm genuinely amazed at the amount of "tacticool" garbage people buy for their ARs. After adding every $20 gadget and $30 widget you can think of, you end up with a rifle that weighs 15-lbs, performs like crap, and just plain looks stupid. Believe me, people; 9 times out of 10 you get what […]

Our newest post is provided by Victoria Slade, a member of Garvey Schubert Barer's Labor and Employment Group and a frequent collaborator with our Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Practice Group. Victoria's post looks at two recent National Labor Relations Board reports and their impact on employers' social media policies. Several planned upcoming posts will also be looking at social media and its effects on hoteliers's and restaurateurs' operations - stay tuned.
Thank you Victoria for this important update.
Thanks to the internet, a single disgruntled employee can now do dramatic damage to a company's image through posts on social media sites. (Just ask Domino's Pizza or Hotel Renaissance.) The social media policies employers have instituted in the last few years may work to inhibit online employer-bashing; however, they can also come perilously close to violating the law. To assist employers in navigating this rapidly changing area of law, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") has issued two social media reports in the last seven months, explaining their rulings in several recent social media cases. As this posting demonstrates, even if you think you have a good social media policy, you may want to revisit it, given the latest NLRB guidance.
Employees in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces have protected rights to certain types of speech under the National Labor Relations Act. These include, briefly, the right to discuss terms and conditions of employment and unfair labor practices with coworkers and the right to engage in concerted activity. Employers who want to restrict employees from making disparaging comments about the company online must carefully phrase their policies to avoid trampling on these rights.
Garvey Schubert Barer's Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Practice Group, in conjunction with program sponsors and presenters, recently hosted two morning Hospitality Forums in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. The forums were designed for hotel owners, developers, investors and operators as well as hospitality industry service providers, consultants and lenders. Both events were well attended—a testament to the sponsors and presenters who offered current data, insights and analysis into issues of importance to those in the hospitality industry.
In particular, Matthew Gardner, of Gardner Economics, provided a macro-level discussion of current economic trends and then narrowed the focus to the Northwest. Matthew sees Seattle as having strong institutional underpinnings that will contribute to continued economic growth. Within the Northwest, condominium projects are not being approved by banks. Apartment construction projects in Seattle are being approved but that segment may soon be over saturated. Matthew did not express concern with the limited amount of hospitality construction underway. A similar presentation by Tom Potiowsky, the PSU Chair of Economics and Director of the Northwest Institute for Applied Economic Research, led off things in Portland. Although not quite as bullish on the local economy as Matthew, Tom was confident that a recovery (although slow) was underway in Oregon, and more particularly, the greater Portland market. Copies of Matthew's presentation and Tom's presentation are attached.
As a follow up to his excellent presentations at the recent hospitality forums hosted by Garvey Schubert Barer's Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Practice Group, Gregg Rodgers offered to prepare today's post on the often discussed, but horribly misunderstood, EB-5 program. Gregg chairs GSB's Immigration Practice Group and is an important member of, and regular contributor to, our Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Practice Group. Gregg has represented those investing funds into their own projects as individuals and into Regional Centers, and he has worked with many potential EB-5 project sponsors (those using investor's funds to finance projects), including new hotel development projects in the Northwest, as they have evaluated their options. Today's post provides a great overview of the EB-5 program and its general requirements.
Thank you Gregg . . .
You may have heard about an influx of foreign investors into the "EB-5" program and wondered – what are they talking about and how can I get my project jump-started with it?
EB-5 is a short-hand reference to the "Employment-Based", 5th-listed process for getting status as a lawful permanent resident, also known as a "green card." It was created in the early 1990's, but only came into its own beginning in 2008, when the great recession dried up local funding for major projects. It was then that many creative developers and others realized that making changes to their business model could open up an untapped source of investment, resulting in the creation of a longer-term relationship between developers and investors, and a potential return for investors that included not just increased wealth, but a new life in the United States. "Regional Centers" have become the focal point of EB-5 investment over the past few years.
Our newest post comes from my Portland, Oregon colleague and partner, Joy Ellis. For those of you who have not met Joy, Joy serves as the Portland Chair of our Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Practice Group. She also has over 15 years of legal experience in the areas of commercial litigation, employment litigation and employment-related advice, and brings us important news on the latest chapter of ongoing litigation between online travel companies and the many jurisdictions that have sought to collect allegedly unpaid or underpaid lodging taxes. This latest installment involves our own City of Portland. Thank you Joy for this important update.
Across the country, online travel companies ("OTCs") are involved in litigation with local officials over the tax on hotel rooms. City officials argue that online travel sites shortchange the cities on their local hotel taxes. The OTCs disagree.
Here's the crux of the issue: let's say a guest books a hotel room through an OTC's website. The traveler booking the room pays an amount to the OTC, part of which goes to the hotel and part of which is kept by the OTC as a facilitation and service fee. The fee attributable to the hotel includes the often severely discounted ("net" or "merchant") room rate agreed upon between the OTC and the hotel, plus the hotel tax owed on that discounted rate. City officials want the hotel tax to be based on the entire ("retail") amount paid by the traveler to the OTC. The OTCs argue that local lodging tax on hotel rooms should be remitted based on the actual amount a hotel receives for a room rather than the total amount that a guest pays the OTC for a room.

Here is Agnes pulling 135×5. It's painfully easy. One day she will be deadlifting well over 300. I just started to do bigger jumps for her because each week is definitely NOT challenge. I don't want her to jump too high though because I want her to progress up at an even pace. She also has no concept of being aggressive during lifting so I want that to develop as well.
Burnt my fucking feet at the beach on Saturday. Real fucking cool. Thought I was a Tommy Tough Guy and tried to walk to the beach without shoes. Hot black pavement > my bare skin. Got some blistering. I'll be killing myself if you need me. Shotgun to the dick (name that movie).
Press went exceedingly well today. Hit a PR of 255×3. I was just going for a double, but the rebound was so good and felt so easy I went for another. Honestly I could have gotten four. I didn't video it. I had a song playing to amp me up over the loud speakers but I didn't time it right. I was getting cold so I just put on my headphones and went after it.
In work news, the two bar staffs are in a picture battle as of yesterday. This was the one that started it. If you have any ideas please let me know. I want our bar to win. We are gonna print out the picture of the winning team.

Update: The link below is 540×2. Apparently I can't embed anymore. I'll have to look into that (Tell Justin).
Saw that last night. Had to take a picture.
Training is well. Benched 390×2 today. Much better bench day than two weeks ago. Still having issues with my shoulder. I realized since the left one is fudged up I tend to have lateral movement left to compensate. Trying to fix it during the warm-ups, but it shows during the work-sets.
I saw Lawless btw. It was real fucking sweet. Tom Hardy is becoming one of my favorite actors. I never put two and two together, but he was Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis. Didn't realize it until I watched it again. Yes I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. My dad was real big into it. It's weird how (my dad) someone can be a fucking badass and then watch nerdy shit like that.

Did have to work this past weekend, well not on Saturday, so I feel a bit more rested. It would be tight if all I had to do everyday was to lift and eat. Only if. I really want to get into Muay Thai (SP?) and back into Jiujitsu. I kinda crave more physicality out of my training and I want a thick neck. I think down the road when I leave Statesboro here in a bit I am going to find a place to do that. Here is my Press from today. Felt good. I am getting some consistent neck soreness on my left side. Gotta do some trap mashing, maybe that will clear it up.
Apparently I can't fucking embed it. Every time I do then click update on the blog it just deletes the code. Here is the link to the video.
Today (9/11/12) felt good even though I had about 4 hours of sleep. Dipshit neighbors were riding their mini-bike around real late last night. Had to go out there ask them to stop. They were looking for trouble so I just called the cops. Kept me up. Surprisingly easy pull though today. Was consistent all throughout todays session.
Taking an applied sports physiology class and our chapter was supplements. Probably gonna start taking more shit here soon. Maybe some pre and post workout to try to enhance my lifting. My teacher is HUGE on creatine. She showed us a bunch of studies on it and it was pretty compelling. Might give it a shot here soon. Actually drank coffee before I lifted due to the effects of caffeine. It's not the best way to get it because its not direct caffeine, but it pushed back my point of fatigue on volume day. It was nice. Might start doing that more often.

More work?
I had to work Friday, Saturday, and be the DD for the other bars employee party on Sunday. All three nights staying up past 4 AM. My body doesn't know what to do right now. I slept well last night. So it's all good for right now. O wait. I have to fucking work tonight too. FML. My bench was shit yesterday. Roughed out 395 for a single. Did a drop set with 365×3. That was easy, but I am still upset. Now that I am rotating my bench and press I am gonna have to wait til next week for redemption. If work keeps hindering my lifting like this I am gonna have to request less days or freakin quit. AND I'm getting a fucking hangnail. AND my neck has been bothering me for three days now. WTF. I won't be posting that much this week so I am sorry for that. My days are just zooming by so I don't have much time.
At least we got one cool pic out of Sunday

What is containerized shipping?
Containerized shipping is a very common method for expediting the movement of household goods and commercial products. Your commercial products or household goods are loaded into a protective steel container similar to a semi truck trailer (without wheels). The container is loaded onto an ocean going vessel. Upon arrival, the container can be loaded onto a trailer for delivery to your final destination.

So, Spain finally did it and won the European cup. And deservedly - if nail-bitingly - so. Easily the best team in the tournament. Needless to say, today will be an 'unofficial holiday'. Re-watching the highlights on British TV, I had to smile at the exuberant comment that it didn't matter now whether one was Castilian, Basque or Catalan; all were rejoicing in the nation's victory. My elder daughter had earlier called me from San Sebastian in the Basque Country to tell me the bar she was in was as quiet as the grave. The other amusing thing was reading English reports posing the question of what the national team could learn from Spain's approach to the game. Under a bloody Italian manager renowned for his defensive mindset!?
As I've said before, Spanish reports of football matches seem to me to be superior to those in British papers. One reason, I guess, is that a lot of stuff gets written, so the chances of some it being great are higher. Anyway, I like this summary from El País's Ernesto Valverde:- You can be a simple champion or a worthy champion, even a brilliant champion or a dubious champion. What is more difficult is to be universally regarded as a champion, both within and without your own country. Spain is this sort of unanimous champion, only infrequently recognised by the football world. The team's play has been the best, the most lucid, and the most brilliant - above all, at key moments – that's to say from the quarter finals on, when the demands and the pressure are at their greatest. Suffice to say that Spain won her last three matches without conceding a single goal and always attacking. This gives you a good idea of the side's brilliance, highlighted ultimately in a great final, against a Germany which, come what may, is always to be feared in important matches. And I also enjoyed this ad from the beer company, Cruzcampo:-
They said we were small,
But we defeated giants.
That our anthem lacked words,
But we have written history in letters of gold.
That we would choke in the quarter-finals,
And not make it to the final.
But, if the past was black,
We have stained it red.
As some readers will have twigged, it was always unlikely that I would deliver on my promise to post Spain's Negatives today. Inappropriate in the festive atmosphere of today and ungallant, if Spain had lost. Wednesday?
I guess we all find it easy to understand why English is not called Londonese. Or Sussexese. Or, indeed, anything other than English. I say this because a writer in El País today made the point that it's wrong for the Spanish to call their language Castellano and not Español. Apart from being technically incorrect, it makes it easier for 'nationalists' on Spain's periphery to disassociate themselves from a language associated with another part of the country, as opposed to one associated with Spain as a whole. Fair point, I think.
The UK insanity of police checks on anyone and everyone who has anything to do with kids is even greater than I thought. It turns out that "the Criminal Records Bureau check is not transferable, requiring some people who volunteer for a wide range of activities to have two, three or even more. One man has had to have five separate checks - one for being a teacher at a secondary school, another for teaching voluntarily at a primary school, a third so that he can run a Cub Scout pack, yet another because he sings in a church choir and a fifth because he is the voluntary licensee of the church club". Why would anyone bother to volunteer for anything now? Except paedophiles who don't yet have a criminal record. Perhaps the whole scheme is actually a fiendishly clever way to catch these. And maybe pigs really can fly.
Galicia Facts
Of all Spain's provincial capitals, Pontevedra is now said to have the cheapest new flats, going for an average of €1,484 per square metre. Followed by Badajoz, at 1,527, and Lugo [another Galician city], at 1,547. This has possibly got something to do with all the huge flat blocks which have been constructed in the last three years here. And which have yet to come on stream. So prices may be lower than this next year.
I popped into the HQ of the Rias Baixas tourist board to see if they had any new leaflets or brochures for this summer. I came out with 64 of these, weighing 3.5 kilos. Or 7.7 pounds. They were a delight to carry the mile back to my car in the 30 degree midday heat. But I'm ready for just about any question now.

The Caps finally snap their regulation losing streak against Pacific Division teams this season beating the Ducks 7-6! Semin had his FOURTH hat trick of the season (video). He is one of only two players in the NHL right now with that honor. For a dude with a scoring drought, he certainly knows how to come back from them with style!My honey Ovi had a masterful goal basically willing the puck into the net with brute force while falling between two Ducks – using my now infinite wisdom from reporting on BATTLE OF THE BLADES, I'd call it a true – SHOOTING THE DUCK – so take that Todd Warriner. Anything you can do, Ovechkin will do it better AND score a goal while doing it (video). Oh and did I mention Varly got pulled after the first period – OK – Mr. Cherrie says, "He didn't start the second period." But then I can't say – "Varly got pulled like a Pork sammy left out on a hot summer day. Smelled like one too." 😦 Have I mentioned – WHEN ARE THE CAPS GOING TO GET A REAL GOALIE? No offense my sweet, Neuvy. You make an awesome #2 and maybe a real goalie when you hit puberty. No, Yes? Maybe? A goalie? Not an imploding Russian Spy satellite or Lon Chaney's bastard son. But something akin to a wall, not, let's say a sieve, like this blog? BB, can you hear me now?
I'm just getting warmed up for SJ. Packing bags, putting on the lucky sweats and the magic necklace – oh – you all didn't SEE THAT. Well, that will be another post. Pants will let you know if she survives 24 hours with me! 😉

BSc (Econ.) (Social Anthropology)
Diploma in Social Studies
Research interests:
I have worked at Swansea University since 1993, first as a senior research assistant and tutor; then as lecturer; and senior lecturer. My research – and much of my teaching, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level – has focused on sexual offending for some years now. I have a particular interest in the impact of sexual violence and abuse on victims; female sexual offending; and issues relating to children and young people who engage in sexually harmful behaviour.
Much of my research focuses on safeguarding and prevention, and amongst my publications are those which examine the strategies employed by child sexual abusers to access victims and perpetrate abuse (arising from an NSPCC funded study). My most recent publication examines the extent to which hotels function as venues for the sexual exploitation of children (Hughes-Jones, L. & Roberts, S. (2015).

Rare Reads: Hugh Garner's Forgotten Toronto Novel, Waste No Tears (1950)
Toronto author Hugh Garner (1913 to 1979) is best known for his Governor General's award-winning Hugh Garner's Best Stories (1963; reprinted regularly in Canadian literature anthologies), his magazine journalism, and his memorable Toronto novel, Cabbagetown. Readers of these works may not know that Garner wrote dozens of short stories and several other Toronto-focused novels, among them Silence on the Shore (1962), a novel set in a Toronto boarding house; The Intruders (McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1976), a kind of sequel to Cabbagetown; and Death in Don Mills (1975) and a follow-up, Murder Has Your Number (1978). While several generations of Toronto readers are familiar with the revised 1968 version of Cabbagetown, many may not know that the novel was published originally as a pulp paperback with a (very different) 'true-crime' ending for its protagonist, Ken Tilling. This was not Garner's only experiment with the genre: in 1950 (under the pseudonym "Jarvis Warwick", reportedly reflecting his domicile at the time, the Warwick Hotel on Jarvis Street) he published another pulp paperback, now almost forgotten and very rare, Waste No Tears, subtitled, "The Novel about the Abortion Racket."
Waste No Tears is a kind of memoir penned by Tom Matterson, a Cabbagetown son who spends twenty years making the ten-block journey from the street of his birth to 'the skidrow'. The narrative is circuitous, but in many ways the streets of his part of the city seem to lead inexorably in a single direction:
When I was a kid Waltham Avenue had not yet become a slum street. It was situated in a poor working-class district, but its tenants were decent people who believed in work, thrift, and of some day moving to one of the new residential districts that were springing up in the suburbs of our city. Many of them moved away over the years when I was a boy, but my family were left behind. It might have been my old man's drinking that stopped the Matterson family from getting ahead, or, as he claimed, it might have been bad luck. Whatever it was it kept us chained down to our little rented house on Waltham Avenue. We were still there when Waltham became an industrial street with the soap factory and the planing mill and the fish wholesaler's where there had formerly been rows of little houses like ours. (5-6)Priced at twenty-five cents (and reportedly written in ten days), Waste No Tears was the kind of novel sold at news stands in racks above the reach of curious children. Told from the perspective of its male narrator, the novel would likely have appealed to both men and women for its lurid descriptions of rapacious sex and its depictions of 'skidrow' life and death, boozing, brawling, blackmail, and back alley abortions. In Waste No Tears, the men are always tight and the women loose, and it is this downward spiral of sexual incontinence and drunken regret that propels the novel toward its morality-play conclusion. Although Waste No Tears is more than half a century old and its sexist depictions of floozies and 'chippies' very much out of date (although its remarkable anger toward women is consistent with much of Garner's work), some of its descriptions, particularly of those men and women who finally find their way to 'skidrow', are depressingly current. As the narrator, Tom Matterson, says of himself,
You've probably seen me sometimes standing in front of the wine store on the corner, huddled up in an old army coat, shivering with the cold and D.T.'s, waiting for somebody I knew to come along and buy a bottle. (154)Then as now, Toronto's most visible 'skidrow' is described occupying the quarter of Toronto east of Yonge Street and south of Carleton, skirting incompletely gentrified blocks all the way to the Don River: "Down in the depths of the city, washed by the murky waters of the dock-yards lies Skidrow, a dark den of intrigue and mystery, whose crumbling structures harbour the outcasts of the city." Indeed, this description finds resonance with "Skid Row", an essay published in The Underside of Toronto (1970), an anthology exploring the city's seamier side:
To the great majority of Torontonians or visitors to the city, skid row is an unknown land, a geographic limbo occupying a certain small section of the downtown area and considered a necessary evil. The average person considers it the home of the derelict, the alcoholic, and the bum, the group that occupies the lowest rung on the social ladder.Waste No Tears gives voice to this district of Toronto in a way few other Toronto tales have managed to do. Indeed, the closest seem to be the stories and poems spilled from the pen of Ted Plantos in The Universe Ends at Sherbourne & Queen (1977) and The Shanghai Noodle Killing (2000) and Richard Scrimger's Toronto Book Award short-listed novel Crosstown (1996). It seems surprising that while this area has been the subject of so many studies and so much social activism, so few of its stories have found their way into print, and the work of its most prolific chronicler, Hugh Garner, has fallen so far out of fashion.
The upside, perhaps, is that an original copy of Waste No Tears is a valued rarity and now sells for upwards of $150. Moreover, readers interested in a Hugh Garner renaissance may look forward to the forthcoming publication of a uniform edition of Garner's entire oeuvre (including, apparently, Waste No Tears, by The Battered Silicon Dispatch Box (in the works, although a firm publication date has not yet been established).
