Peel Regional Police Charge 5 in Luxury Car Theft Ring Known as "Project Baijin"
As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, Jag Virk understands the complexities of the legal system and works diligently to help his clients achieve optimal results.
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2019 / High profile criminal defense lawyer Jag Virk is representing one of the five individuals accused of being involved in a luxury car theft ring known as "Project Baijin."
The discovery of a luxury car theft ring has led to the arrest and laying of charges against five individuals, all from the Greater Toronto Area. The ring was uncovered when a tip from a concerned citizen led Peel Regional Police to a Mississauga-based 'chop shop' where they discovered $620,000 of luxury stolen vehicles in an industrial storage unit in the area of Kestrel Road and Myerside Drive in Mississauga on April 10, 2019. The vehicles included a 2015 Jeep Wrangler, a 2018 Audi A7, a 2018 Mercedes C300, and a 2019 Range Rover, among others.
Two Chinese nationals in the country on student visas were arrested, which lead to a large-scale joint-forces operation known as 'Project Baijin' which would eventually lead to the seizure of 2.2 million in stolen vehicles from across the country. Three other suspects were also arrested and charged. All five suspects remain in custody pending bail hearings.
Among the vehicles recovered were a Bentley worth over $250,000 as well as a $230,000 Mercedes Benz convertible.
28 vehicles were seized as a result of the investigation, most of which were purchased using fraudulent employment and income information, and then reported stolen. In reality, the vehicles were then destined to be shipped to international markets in China and Europe, according to Peel Regional Police.
Police also seized key programmers, fraudulent documentation, license plates and wireless electronic devices. In some cases, the vehicles were vinyl wrapped to change their colour, making them less detectible.
The five suspects have been charged with identify fraud, theft, possession of stolen property and trafficking of stolen property.
The investigation is ongoing, with at least 50 stolen vehicles to be recovered, according to Peel Regional Police. It involves multiple agencies across the country.
Project Baijin is known as the largest vehicle bust in the Greater Toronto Area.
The accused are He Cui, 24, of Markham, Wenqi Li, 26, of Markham, Krisztien Nemes, 44, of Burlington, Ryan Gillard, 42, of Mississauga, and Radivoje Tadic, 24.
High profile Toronto criminal lawyer Jag Virk, who is representing one of the accused, said that his client would not be making a statement at this time.

TOKYO — "Wall-E" will close the 21st Tokyo Intl. Film Festival on Oct. 26, fest sources have revealed.
Helmer Andrew Stanton's previous toon, "Finding Nemo," closed the fest in 2003.
The pic is skedded for release in Japan in December, with Disney distribbing. John Woo's period epic "Red Cliff" will open the fest, which unspools from Oct. 18.
In other TIFF news, the Atsuro Watabe and Saki Takaoka starrer "Kotoba no Nai Fuyu" (Winter Without Words) will preem in the Competition Section on Oct. 18.
The pic, Watabe's debut as a helmer, tells the story of a man (Watabe) who cannot speak and a woman (Takaoka) who has lost her memory.
The pic's release date has not yet been decided.
Also, "Jomei" (Remaining Days), a drama starring Nanako Matsushima ("Ring") as a physician diagnosed with breast cancer, will unspool in the TIFF Japanese Eyes section for domestic pics on Oct. 18.
Stardust Pictures, the new distribbing arm of Matsushima's agency, Stardust Promotion, will bow the pic — the first on its lineup — on Feb. 7, 2009.
Finally, "Fusa" (Sono Kido o Totte), a feature that famed helmer Kon Ichikawa shot in Hi-Vision for Fuji TV in 1993, will get its Japan preem at TIFF prior to its first ever theatrical release on Nov. 11, with Go Cinema distribbing.
Based on a 1959 short story by Shugoro Yamamoto, this drama about an ambitious samurai (Kiichi Nakai) whose marriage plans are disrupted by a beautiful, but amnesiac woman (Yuko Asano) was screened by the Venice fest in 1993 and the Rotterdam fest in 1994, but dropped from sight after airing only once on a satellite channel in Japan.
Ichikawa's last pic prior to his death in 2008, "Murder of the Inugami Clan," closed TIFF in 2006.

CentSports is this revolutionary website that lets you try betting on sports for free and earn real money. The concept of CentSports is intriguing because it gives out money to people and it's up to them to either lose everything or win big time. So what is the fuzz about this website? And why are more people trying it out?
It's a crazy idea that people would just even sign up just to try it out, the problem is that they get hooked that they can't get out of the limbo. This is because betting has always been interesting, even if you watch numbers on the screen, you will learn to appreciate it if those numbers are cash going up or down.
No investment necessary: Think about it, just by having a free credit of 10 cents into your account, you can already grow it. It's not just a blessing, you also think about it as a challenge. The challenge alone to grow that money and get back to square one if you go zero is very generous, fun and it's also addicting. In some betting websites, once you go to zero, that's it, it's time to throw in the towel, but for these guys, they give you another 10 cents to start all over, you never get to stop and that makes it very addicting.
Bet in moderation: As much as you think of it as free, if your going to lose a hundred bucks that you earned for 5 weeks is not a good experience. What's worse is that you get to go back to betting 10 cents in your account, so recouping that 100 hundred dollars will require an awful lot of luck, so always have this "fail-safe" that make you stop when you feel that you had enough. if you are on a winning streak, continue with a moderate amount, if you are losing a few games, stop and play for another day. If you got a thousand dollars already, the last thing you want is to go back to 10 cents.
Be patient with the ads: The only reason with CentSports is able to give you this opportunity to play for free is because of their sponsor ads. This is where they get their profits from and into your winnings. So the next time you see some annoying ads, be thankful instead because if it wasn't for these ads, CentSports would not blossom and you won't be playing in it right now and earning some money.
Sports Betting by CentSports is a unique way for people to bet, while ads are aplenty on this site, the fact that it's free doesn't really bother anybody. Besides, its where the company is getting their profit. But be careful though because if you zero out your account, you will go back to 10 cents. Betting with sports is addicting, top it all off with a free for life gaming, then you got a winner already. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot, just know your limits.

THE Government is committed to reducing the country's fiscal deficit gradually, with the aim of achieving a balanced budget by 2020.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Government was also committed to ensure that the Federal debt level would remain low and not exceed 55% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
Najib, who tabled Budget 2014 in Parliament yesterday, said the Government was on track to reducing its fiscal deficit from 4.5% of GDP in 2012 to 4% of GDP this year and 3.5% of GDP in 2014.
According to Najib, who is also Finance Minister, Budget 2014 was formulated to ensure that Malaysia's economy would continue to grow at a healthy pace while its fiscal deficit continue to decline.
The overall objective, he said, was to prosper the nation and promote the well-being of the rakyat.
Themed Strengthening Economic Resilience, Accelerating Transformation and Fulfilling Promises, Budget 2014 contained five key thrusts – invigorating economic activity, strengthening fiscal management, inculcating excellence in human capital, intensifying urban and rural development, and ensuring the people's well-being.
Najib revealed that a total of RM264.2bil would be allocated under Budget 2014 to implement programmes and projects for national development, with RM217.7bil for operating expenditure and RM46.5bil for development expenditure.
According to Najib, the Government's revenue collection in 2014 was estimated at RM224.1bil, which represented an increase of RM4bil from 2013.
"Taking into account the estimated revenue and expenditure, the Federal Government fiscal deficit will further decline from 4% of GDP in 2013 to 3.5% in 2014. This clearly indicates the Government's commitment towards fiscal consolidation to further strengthen the financial position of the nation," he said.
As part of the Government's fiscal consolidation measures, Najib also announced the implementation of goods and services tax (GST) from April 1, 2015, at 6% to replace the existing sales and services tax.
"The Government believes this is the best time to implement GST as the inflation rate is low and contained. With the implementation of GST, the Government will be able to address the weaknesses in the current taxation system," he added.
Malaysia's inflation rate is expected to range between 2% and 3% next year, while its economy is projected to expand at a stronger pace of 5% to 5.5%, driven by private investment and private consumption, compared with a projected GDP growth of 4.5%-5% this year.
RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd's economists opine that the stronger economic growth projected for 2014 by the Government was "reasonable" and broadly in line with their expectation, amid strong domestic demand and the global economic recovery.
On the Government's fiscal deficit target, they said: "This is prudent and important, given the need to address concerns raised by Fitch Ratings Agency and to prevent the country's sovereign rating from being downgraded in the immediate term.
"However, we reckon that its impact on the economy is unlikely to be significant, as the reduction remains gradual. Furthermore, a recovery in exports could help to pick up the slack."
Budget 2014 must have been one of the most keenly watched economic policies ever, as Malaysia faced the risk of having its sovereign credit rating downgraded by Fitch Ratings.
The international credit rating agency had in July downgraded its outlook for Malaysia from "stable" to "negative" based on its assessment that fiscal consolidation and structural fiscal reform to address the relative credit weakness of Malaysia's public finances had become less likely in the wake of the Government's relatively weak showing in the 2013 general elections.
"While Budget 2014 is an important input to Fitch's ongoing assessment of Malaysia's public finances and broader sovereign credit profile, we believe it is even more important to monitor the implementation and execution of budget measures over time," Fitch's head of Asia-Pacific sovereigns Andrew Colquhoun told StarBizWeek in an e-mail.
"Moreover, the negative outlook partly reflects the risk that the broader public sector deficit (beyond the Federal Government) will drive the emergence of a current account deficit, which could potentially increase Malaysia's vulnerability to renewed market tensions when US Federal Reserve's tapering once again moves up the agenda. The agency will also therefore monitor the broader public sector position," Colquhoun said.
OCBC Bank (M) Bhd economist Selena Ling, however, believed that Budget 2014 had exceeded market expectations based on the key deliverable of the GST.
"This should garner positive market reactions and bode well for ringgit-denominated risk assets in the near term," Ling said.
According to CIMB Investment Bank Bhd chief economist Lee Heng Guie, Budget 2014 is a responsible budget for both growth and fiscal discipline as it sets out clear fiscal rules that should put the country's budget deficit and debt on a firm downward trajectory.
"The budget is broadly in line with our expectation and contained welcome announcements, namely the implementation of the GST. The fiscal action plans demonstrate the Government's strong conviction to prevent fiscal slippage or a deterioration in public finance, which bodes well for Malaysia's credit profile," Lee said.

White Rock Lake, just for grins, is 1,015 acres. Based on what I heard yesterday, the Trinity River lakes we voted for in downtown in 1998, when finally built, will be one lake, 20 acres, 10 feet deep.
Oh, and the money for it is mostly gone. Even to dig the 20-acre thing -- pretty much what people in West Texas call a cattle tank -- the money will have to be filched from other accounts.
But the money for that toll road on top of the river, the one that will cut off downtown from all the parks they're supposed to build? Goin' strong. Don't worry about that money, man. It's in the bank.
Those are the main take-aways from a City Council committee meeting yesterday on the status of the Trinity River project. Yeah, 20 acres, a lake small enough that it could be closed by one family with diarrhea, not to be gross about it, but you get what I mean. Not a lake. A pond. In July a body of water that small and that shallow in downtown Dallas Texas is basically a saucepan.
May I share with you the part that I found sort of hilarious? Originally we were supposed to have more like 300 acres of water in three small conjoined lakes along the Trinity, but you have to remember that those lakes were designed in two phases.
First they were designed on a napkin by a political ad agency in 1998 trying to think of some shit they could put in the TV ads to get people to vote for a toll road that nobody needed or wanted. In the second, later design phase, the lakes were redesigned by former Dallas Observer columnist and Mayor Laura Miller for something she called "The Balanced Vision Plan," evoking a quality for which she was not known here.
Since then, according to yesterday's briefing before the council's Transportation and Trinity River Project Committee, some actual engineers have been looking into it, and they found out four things:
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the Observer's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Dallas's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
- The old bridges across the river have piers that sit on mud instead of going down to bedrock, so if you dig out a lake around them the bridges will fall down (not good).
- If the lakes get any closer to the river than 200 feet, the federal government will require the city to build actual dams between the lakes and the river at huge expense (not possible).
- If you dig deeper than 10 feet anywhere in the river bed, you punch through the clay cap and get into sand, and all the water will leak out as fast as you put it in (shit).
- There's no water anyway. The river doesn't have enough water in the summer; the lakes will evaporate; you have to fill them from water wells; the wells cost $1 million apiece.
So, look, if we wanted to look at this in biblical terms, what do we think Jehovah might be trying to tell us about creating lakes along the Trinity? Does Jehovah actually have to come down here to Dallas himself and paint it on the front of City Hall? If you say yes, you better be wearing rubber-soled shoes.
I am working on a column about this for next week's paper. Councilman Scott Griggs has uncovered some pretty amazing stuff about what happened to all the money, which I will share with you in some detail. When he got into it at the committee meeting yesterday, committee chair person Vonciel Hill told him he was talking too much. Exactly! The public definitely is not supposed to know all that stuff.
I think Jehovah has spoken to us, and he has said, "OK, 20 acres, about 10 feet deep, then I never want to hear about this again." The city's plan apparently is to do just that. I try to imagine the tens of thousands of little vignettes as citizen after citizen treks down to the river in search of his lake. It puts me in mind of The Cocoanuts, the Marx Brothers' first real movie in 1929, based on Florida real estate scams. I hear the sound of thousands of incredulous forehead slaps, followed by faster harder mosquito slaps.

Letter to Our Clients - January 2004
January 2004
To My Friends and Clients:
2003 turned out to be a good year for both the economy and the stock market. Why did 2003 turn out so well, given the gloom at the beginning of the year? The economy was clearly helped by historic low interest rates, an expansionary monetary policy, and tax breaks which were especially meaningful for businesses and investors. In addition, the dollar's decline against foreign currencies, which many feared would harm our economy, so far has proved to be a blessing to those industries who sell overseas, and hence to the market overall. Once the war began in March, the "wall of worry" seemed to fade away and the stock market rocketed upward.
All of the positive factors are still in place and would seem to indicate that the economy should continue to grow. In addition, this is a presidential election year, so the administration has tremendous incentive to provide as much impetus to the economy as possible. This should result in another positive year for stocks, but we know better than to be overconfident.
Because of the low interest rates, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and other cash equivalents are generating what are called "negative real rates of return," that is, they are not keeping pace with inflation and taxes. Most "experts" believe the Federal Reserve will not raise rates until after the November elections but will increase rates shortly thereafter, not good news for bonds. Real estate may provide positive returns going forward but the large gains of the past are not likely to continue. The stock market appears to be "fairly valued" at this point, which means growth should come if earnings continue to rise, but, again, the large gains of 2003 may not repeat. On the other hand, no one predicted the dramatic increases in 2003! So, what are we to do?
For those dollars which will be spent in the next two years or so, one must accept either certainty and minimal returns ("negative real returns"), or higher potential returns with the risk that the investment will be worth less when needed in the future.
For those dollars available for investment, that is, where the goal is to grow principal and/or to use principal to provide income, we suggest two strategies to consider.
A growth portfolio can have different levels of aggressiveness. I caution anyone who believes their account should be able to generate 50% in a year or 15% or more on an annual basis. Such a strategy may work for a time, but it is very difficult to recognize when it is time to lock in the gain and become more conservative. I recommend instead that portfolios should be structured to be balanced between growth investments (more aggressive) and value investments (more conservative), with a mixture of large companies, mid-sized and small companies. I feel strongly that it is prudent, and not "risky," to have 15% to 25% of one's investment mixture in international stocks or bonds (and I prefer stocks at this time). I believe that there are opportunities in every major industry sector, even utilities, and that it is prudent to have some participation in all of these sectors. For 2004, I personally believe those sectors with the greatest growth potential are technology (again), financial, industrial materials, and energy. (Many "experts" feel Iraq will stabilize and oil prices will drop in 2004, which would be bad for energy stocks. Even if they are correct, I believe energy prices will rise worldwide as long as economic expansion continue, and that natural gas is in a "sweet spot" in the industry.)
A "moderate" growth account, and those portfolios where there is a need to withdraw money on a regular basis, should benefit by the use of high-dividend stocks, and my definition of "high" is 3% or more. The new tax law reduced the rate on most dividends to a maximum of 15%, the same as for capital gains. The result is that a dollar of dividend can be 40% to 60% more tax efficient than a dollar of interest, depending upon one's tax bracket. This tax benefit is especially appealing if there is a higher "gross" rate of return on a stock than on a bond or certificate of deposit.*
Many predict that over time investors will reward those companies which pay a dividend, and this should result in higher stock prices for these companies. If so, then firms with no or little dividend payout may change their policy. Already we have seen a significant number of companies initiate (Microsoft) or increase (Intel) dividend payouts. This trend means that a high-dividend investment strategy could deliver acceptable returns in three ways. First, if investors favor these stocks, then prices could rise. Second, the dividend yield will generate cash flow which can be used for reinvestment, or for distribution to supplement income needs. Finally, since most dividend-paying corporations are those with strong balance sheets and strong cash flow, then it is also possible that reasonable growth can be coupled with better risk against a dramatic downturn in values.
Of course, nothing is certain. Investors who cannot afford to have their money "at risk" of fluctuation (read "going down") must invest for safety. As mentioned earlier, this "guarantees" the loss of purchasing power. Perhaps worse, however, is the fact that these investors face the prospect of not being able to ever build enough wealth to enjoy financial stability, especially when work is no longer an option. On the other hand, investors who decide for greater income and/or growth must be willing to accept fluctuating account values.
We remain committed to helping you be clear about your financial objectives, and to helping you manage your investments to achieve these objectives. One of the ways we do this is to avoid as much as possible those investments tainted by scandal or, in our opinion, potentially subject to it. This is why I prefer to work where I am compensated by fees for my planning services and investment management. When there are no commissions it is easier to see that you and I are both working toward a common goal – your financial health. In those areas where commissions cannot be avoided, we always try to bring the issue to your attention, help you understand your alternatives, and let you make the decisions that feel best for you.
As always, please be sure to call to schedule an appointment if you have questions or concerns about your accounts, or if it is time to review your situation to determine whether your strategies remain appropriate for your current situation and your financial goals.
Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you.
Best wishes,
Robert K. Haley, JD, CFP®
*Unfortunately, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) do not receive this preferential treatment, but in many cases their dividends are high enough (6% or more) that the after-tax yield is still attractive. If you would like to know why REITs do not qualify, feel free to call.

Though today's lesson is a continuation of examining position versus time graphs to produce velocity graphs, I start with a warmup problem that is focused on some ideas from our previous unit. Students have an upcoming quiz on that material and I want to provide some time each day, in the interim, to keep those ideas fresh.
The essence of the problem is to use the given wave information to wave write functions of time and space. I remind students to access their resource sheets (part of the Electromagnetics Mock Quiz handout) which has any formula needed and other helpful information. Students may work individually or in small groups. I circulate to assist and affirm. After just five minutes or so, I give a two-minute warning, and begin to show solutions on the board.
First, I show the solutions for finding wavelengths. After a short discussion, I use this information and the other given information to produce solutions for the wave functions. I end the segment asking students to indicate their comfort level with these topics via a "fist-to-five" vote (where a fist means complete lack of understanding and five fingers means complete comfort). Most students indicate a high degree of comfort with mainly four and five fingers showing.
The balance of this lesson is, indeed, a continuation of our study of objects in motion, focusing today on the development of velocity graphs from position graphs. Students employ mathematical reasoning and model the physical properties of position and velocity with linear equations, two of the Science and Engineering Practices. The concepts of position, velocity, and acceleration are essential to achieving NGSS Performance Expectation HS-PS2-1.
To begin this short lecture, I show students a multi-part position graph.
I ask students to make observations about this graph. Comments include that the object is moving faster in the first three seconds than in the last five seconds and that the object has stopped during the interval from three to six seconds. When I press for a rationale, students comments are variations on the interpretation of the slope. Given that idea, I add a "mantra" to our graph:
I then ask students to create, with me, a velocity graph that is based on the slopes of the segments of the position graph. We create the following:
Based on this idea, I provide my students a set of practice problems for in-class formative assessment. Students work on the problems while I circulate get a sense of understanding. While I don't show solutions at the board, I do provide a significant amount of immediate feedback to students as they work. After about ten minutes or so, I hand out an assignment that is very similar to the practice and announce a due date. Students store the assignment and we proceed to the next activity.
As we have done in previous classes, I ask my students to assemble into their "Pride Points" teams. I provide each team with two copies of the challenge problem and give them about 25 minutes to generate a response.
The intent of this activity is to shift anxiety away from grades while still providing just enough incentive to put forth a genuine effort. The competitive aspect of the Pride Points standings seems to be the right incentive - each event is scored out of 100 points and I keep a separate spreadsheet with the teams' accumulated points for the year.
Teams generate a scheme for turning a nonlinear position graph into a velocity graph. The image below captures a common strategy: to approximate short curved sections with straight lines (one line below even looks like it might be tangent - this will ultimately be our strategy) and use the lines to get slopes and, hence, velocities.
The strategy shown above leads to staircase velocity graphs - constant segments followed by abrupt changes between intervals.
Students work on their schemes and, with about ten minutes left in class, they submit their best work as we transition to our final activity: sharing strategies at the board.
In the final few minutes, I ask the Pride Points teams to come to the board to share some strategies for solving the previous problem. I want to provide a chance for students to see and hear an important idea that has just emerged: short segments of a curved position graph can be approximated as straight-line segments whose slopes give the velocity in that short interval of time. Here are two examples of these short presentations:
We take the remaining time in class to show as many of these short presentations as possible. This sets up the next idea: creating acceleration graphs from position and velocity graphs.

This is our 2018 Row – Alaska's Flag Song, 8 Stars of Gold on a Field of Blue.
This quilt celebrates the simple beauty of the Alaska Flag and the wonderful lyrics of the Alaska's Flag Song.
The Flag was designed by Benny Benson, a 13 year old Alaska Native who won a territorial contest in 1927 to design a flag for the Territory.
The Alaska's Flag Song was written by Marie Drake, set to music by Elinor Dusenbury and was adopted as the official state song in 1955.
We hope you find this song as fitting for Alaska as we do and enjoy this little quilt that commemorates 8 Stars of Gold on a Field of Blue.

Instead, they must also do something extra, like help patients with shopping, cooking or getting to doctors' appointments. Medical-marijuana advocates fear the added responsibilities will severely trim the number of caregivers, which state officials said today stands at 16,000. The advocates say caregivers provide a link to medical-marijuana for patients who are poor or who live in areas where there is no convenient access to dispensaries.But Health Board members said they do not think the regulations present the doomsday scenario that advocates worry they do."There's a lot of things caregivers are already doing that would meet this definition," Board President Laura Davis said at today's hearing.The rules will not affect dispensaries, which serve large numbers of patients and are regulated by separate laws.Caregivers are required by the state constitution to have a "significant responsibility for managing the well-being of the patient." What, exactly, that means has been the subject of a years-long debate, played out at the Board of Health, the legislature and the courts. The new rules were intended to settle the debate.Law enforcement officials said the rules are needed to help them better differentiate between legitimate medical-marijuana caregivers and illegal drug dealers hiding behind the claim that they are caregivers. Neal Richardson, the chief deputy district attorney in Denver, called such a clear separation "the linchpin in our enforcement efforts against people who are dealing drugs."

But that didn't stop me from picking up this silk blouse while thrifting...not that I needed any more convincing than its $5 price tag. It's definitely already helping me wear those old clothes of mine that I always struggle to work into an outfit. Like the blouse makes these pinstripe-railroad-worker pants (a completely technical term there) dressy enough to wear with my favorite nude wedges. If you are looking for an excuse/sign to buy yourself a new pair of summer shoes, consider this it: nude wedges go with everything. And they're pretty. Why else do girls buy shoes?

'Degrassi' Stars Munro Chambers, Aislinn Paul & Justin Kelly Weigh In On 'Cake V. Eclare!' Watch!
It's time to choose: Should Clare give Eli a second chance, or move on with Jake? Pick your side & vote!
There's a food fight brewing at Degrassi, and it's about to get delicious. Now that Clare (Aislinn Paul) and Eli (Munro Chambers) are on the outs, she's free to date someone else — and she's got her eye on new-guy Jake (Justin Kelly.) I spoke with Munro, Aislinn and Justin during a recent trip to the show's Toronto set to get their thoughts on the Cake (Clare + Jake) and Eclare (Eli + Clare) pastry battle.
"Jake has a lightness to him that's completely different from Eli," Aislinn explains. "Eli was always a very hard character for Clare to handle and support. … And Jake is the kind of character who doesn't need that support."
Justin echoes Aislinn's words, describing Jake as "a breath of fresh air" for Clare. "He's the light to Eli's dark. "She needs someone who wouldn't be that intense with her."
"If you're an Eclare fan, I think you've got to hold on and pray," Munro adds. "But right now it's not looking too good."
So what do YOU think, Degrassi fans? Should Clare take a bite into "Cake," or should she stick with the "Eclare" she's already been snacking on? Or hey, maybe you think she should skip dessert altogether and try being single!
Watch the video interview with Aislinn, Justin and Munro below, then cast your vote:

Another Republican cancer
We had Sen. Joe McCarthy back in the '50s, destroying people's lives with communism charges, then Richard Nixon's presidency, coining the famous phrase "cancer on the presidency" with Watergate in the 70s, and now we have a lobbyist named Grover Norquist with his own brand of cancer, not only destroying good Republican legislators' careers, but crippling the nation in the process.
Unbelievable that a lobbyist can put such fear into an elected Republican that he signs a pledge not to raise taxes on anybody for any reason — even if it means our country's survival.
Who is Grover Norquist? From what I've heard and read, he's a Republican conservative lobbyist and activist for tax reform. A Karl Rove type who can finance the destruction of a fellow Republican, if he's not one of the "my way or the highway" guys.
The Norquist pledge is not only unacceptable and unpatriotic, but a stab in the back to our men in uniform. An elected official should only take an oath of office and that's it.
Congress should cleanse itself of this Norquist cancer now.

text: back to overview Solar Window Film Case Studies previous next Jackson and Perkins Neutral Solar Window Film Plants Require Special Care Situation While many have experienced the frustration of sustaining the health of a fragile house plant, imagine the efforts to protect an entire floor of plants and merchandise at a retail plant store – especially when the merchandise is displayed in a beautiful, open, sun-filled environment. That was the challenge for Jackson & Perkins, the Medford, Oregon outlet renowned for home and garden merchandise excellence since 1872. "Jackson & Perkins is the area's best plant store with hundreds of exotic plants and garden paraphernalia. It goes without saying that our plants have to be healthy and our store must look great all of the time," says Jay Hall, Manager. But the windows at this Jackson & Perkins retail location were preventing this from happening. First, too much ultraviolet rays, heat and glare were causing plants to burn and gardening accessories to fade; and second, reflections on the windows prevented customers from seeing all the beautiful merchandise that was on display in the store. Solution Jay Hall chose to have Vista by LLumar Dayview V45 window film installed. "The product chosen is perfect for us" said Hall. Result "The low mirror finish provides a clear and undistorted view from the outside while keeping our plants looking healthy and natural. Vista Window Film is so effective in eliminating the sun's harmful rays, I can spend more time than ever tending to our customers rather than caring for our plants."

From noon yoga breaks to kale smoothies in the breakroom, employee wellness is all the rage. And with good reason: According to the 2015 Strategic Benefits Survey from the Society for Human Resource Management, more than three-quarters of respondents rated their wellness initiatives as "somewhat effective" or "very effective" in reducing health care costs.
"Promoting wellness in the workplace is vital for an employee's health and overall satisfaction. Most employees are looking for ways to feel better during the day so they don't leave work and return home feeling exhausted and depleted," says Katie Bressack, a Los Angeles-based nutrition and wellness coach who creates corporate wellness programs.
Of course, not every small company has the resources to reimburse gym memberships or hire on-site masseuses. Here are four low- to no-cost ways that small businesses can encourage employee wellness.
Upgrade your snacks
You might not be able to host a full salad bar or made-to-order sushi lunches, but you can make sure that the food you do offer is healthy. Replace the traditional Monday morning meeting muffins with a fruit plate or make your happy hour "healthy hour" with hummus and veggies. If you have a vending machine, ask your supplier to add in healthier fare, such as nuts, granola or baked snacks, suggests Bressack.
Ditch the sad desk lunch, consumed while you're on a conference call or triaging emails. "When you encourage employees to leave the office during their break, they'll return with improved energy and focus to be more productive," Bressack says. Suggest they take a walk, soak up some sun, or even run an errand to cross something off their to-do list and lighten their after-work load. One study found that lunchtime walks improved mood and decreased stress, a major contributor to poor health.
Just move
Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Studies have found that being sedentary can lead to an increased risk of a host of conditions, from Type 2 diabetes to cancer and heart disease. Sure, you could invest in standing desks, but you'll get the same benefit for free when you hold standing meetings or encourage your employees to actually leave their desks and visit their coworkers rather than communicating via a messaging app or email. Hit with a mid-afternoon slump? "A stand-and-stretch break will give everyone a little more energy to make it to the end of the day," says Bressack, without relying on a caffeine or sugar fix.
Host a healthy challenge
Sign up for a 5K as a group or have everyone track their steps for a month. You don't even need a pricey pedometer since most smartphones have a step-tracking app. Bressack recommends her clients ask a local yoga studio or gym if they will donate free passes as prizes. Sometimes "carrots" in the form of incentives are just as important to a successful wellness program as the orange kind.

1. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clustersmanik May 5, 2010 5:30 AM (in response to cbo_)
Your best bet really is to use different multicast addresses and ports. See PromiscuousTraffic for more details.
2. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clusterscbo_ May 6, 2010 11:31 PM (in response to manik)
I have now set up a separate cluster between different development environments. For the sake of discussion, let's call one environment devA and the other devB. I will have 2 machines in each of the 2 environments. It seems I have the multicast set up to allow the separation I thought I wanted. However, now I have discovered my next item of interest. I have 2 JVMs on each of the machines (devA has machine1 with 2 JVMs and machine 2 with 2 JVMs....same for devB). Now, just focusing on one environment, devA, I would like the JVMa on machine1 and JVMa on machine 2 to share the same replicated named cache (sharedCache_a). And, I would like JVMb on machine1 and JVMb on machine2 to share their same replicated named cache (sharedCache_b). Also, I am setting the StateRetrieval fetchInMemoryState=true for both named caches. I was seeing state being replicated on startup when I was running only the JVMa processes on both machines. Also, if only starting JVMb processes on both machines I was also seeing state being replicated on startup. However, now that I am running JVMa and JVMb on both machines I am seeing state replicated between JVMa processes, but I am not seeing the state replicated between JVMb processes. One thing I noticed, after digging through detail logs, is that the coordinator of the caches seems to be associated with JVMa on machine1. Since it is not connected to sharedCache_b it does not have state to replicate on startup to the JVMb processes. Interesting that after caches are started, replication does work as expected, but the "catch-up" of state on startup is not working as described above.
Do I need to further separate the cluster to only include like-JVMs (a or b i this example)? Ultimately what I thought I would get is cache coordinators from each cache name. Seems it is per cluster.
3. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clustersmanik May 7, 2010 8:03 AM (in response to cbo_)
Do the different JVMs form different clusters? E.g., does devA = {machine1_JVMa, machine2_JVMa} and devB = {machine1_JVMb, machine2_JVMb} ?
4. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clusterscbo_ May 7, 2010 8:17 AM (in response to manik)
In the way my application considers a cluster, the answer is no. A cluster in this case would be made up of machine1_JVMa, machine1_JVMb, machine2_JVMa, and machine2_JVMb.
5. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clusterscbo_ May 7, 2010 8:19 AM (in response to cbo_)
Or, another way to put it, all JVMs on machine1 and machine2 make up the cluster. And, in case it is helpful, I mentioned the cache mode is replication and the scenario I am attempting to use this is for high availability.
6. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clusterscbo_ May 7, 2010 8:44 AM (in response to cbo_)
Having some coffee in the system now....re-read your response and realize I still did not answer your question. Sorry. In development I would have around 20 different clusters with a 2 machines in each cluster and a total of 10 JVMs in each cluster. In production, the number of clusters would be greater, but the number of JVMs per cluster and the number of machines per cluster would be the same.
7. Re: Multicast discovery with separate clustersgalder.zamarreno May 13, 2010 7:15 AM (in response to cbo_)
Craig, it's still unclear to me what your problem is. Separating each cluster is a matter of making sure that each cluster uses a different multicast address, multicast port and cluster name. The first two are configured in the JGroups protocol stack XML (mcas_port and mcast_addr properties of UDP element) or via system properties (i.e. http://community.jboss.org/wiki/SystemProps). The cluster name is defined in Infinispan's transport clusterName property (see http://docs.jboss.org/infinispan/4.1/apidocs/config.html#ce_global_transport).
If this is working correctly, iow, if u can see both clusters properly isolated (grep by 'view' in the logs to see what each node considers to be the cluster view), the replication and state transfer should work as expected.
If this is not working, you're gonna have to be more precise, show configurations used, properties in place, log lines that might be suspicious...etc.

By Lindsay Starr Platt, The Belton Journal
Congratulations and accolades went out to twenty-five Belton High School students on Wednesday as they were presented with the 2015 Superintendent Scholars award. Students came dressed "to the nines" accompanied with family and friends, as music resonated from the Belton High School Orchestra, setting the mood for this poignant moment for the distinguished honorees.
Being a Belton Superintendent Scholar is a great honor. With it comes the responsibility of always striving to grow and improve.
"This is a very special event we started to honor our tenth grade students that have a high score on the PSAT," said Dr, Susan Kincannon, superintendent, Belton ISD. "We honor them and get them to continue in the National Merit Scholar Program. To compete in National Merit Scholar to acheive the ultimate goal of becoming a National Merit Scholar and with that they are able to access scholarships and get admitted to universities around the country."
Each year, the Superintendent Scholar Award is presented to sophomores, who received high scores on the PSAT. These students will retake the PSAT during their junior year to determine whether or not they qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Of the more than 1.5 million students that take the PSAT each year, approximately 50,000 are selected for recognition, and of those, about 8,900 will be awarded college scholarships through the competition.
Sam Wilds, coordinator, advanced academic services, BISD, said. "This event honors the top 14% students nationally. These are tenth grade students, next year they will take the PSAT again and be entered in the National Merit Scholar competition."
"These students are our high achievers, and we are thankful to have them in our school system," commented KIncannon.
The following students from BHS were recognized as 2015 Superintendent Scholars: Savannah Bush, Madeline Chaput, Kayla Delgado, Andrew Fitzwater Brittany Green, Leighton Haglund, Ruopu Jiao, Courtney Lamm, Mallory Lane, Zachary Lopez, David Keaton-Mitchell, Hunter Mitchell, Cammie Moore, Margaret Murphy, Hailey Peace, Sierra Reasoner, Elinor Rowe, David Shepherd, and Shawnia Ward.
And the following New Tech students were also recognized as 2015 Superintendent Scholars: Morgan Callin, Athena Dupree, Ian Gish, Tatyanna Hernandez, Jeremie Macisaac, and Mark Morris.
"We are very excited about the performance by the orchestra and that the school is acknowledging these kids that performed so well on these tests. It is great to get recognized," said Laura Chaput, parent of Madeline Chaput. "This is the second time her and her friends from orchestra have had to perform in their own awards ceremony. Madeline is first chair, viola in the Belton High School Orchestra."
After the awards were presented, parents and students had the chance to congratulate their friends personally. Concluding the awards ceremony refreshments were provided, as attendees enjoyed punch and cookies proud parents took photos of the triumphant moment of their child's life.
Mark Fitzwater, parent of Andrew Fitzwater, said. "We are excited for him. He has done real well and we are just proud of him. We raised him very well and he works really hard."

In early February, investors caught a brief glimpse of a 2018 stock market correction when the S&P 500 500 briefly dove more than 10% between Feb. 2 and Feb. 8.
Even though both major market indexes rebounded shortly after that, the stock market pullback reminded investors that we are nine years into this bull market, and it won't last forever.
And now, stocks are quickly dropping again.
The Dow fell over 400 points yesterday (March 1) after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 20% tariff on steel imports, and it plunged another 300 points today (March 2).
That has investors wondering if another stock market correction is coming.
Urgent: Feds use obscure loophole to threaten retirees. If you have a 401(k), IRA, or any type of retirement account, this could cause you to miss out on $68,870 or more. Learn more…
With stocks capable of that kind of turmoil, investors want to know how they can protect their money. After all, a 2018 market correction can have a major impact on your overall wealth and your retirement.
That's why right now is the exact time to prepare a "protection plan" in the event of a market correction. With a solid plan, you can actually profit if stocks plunge even more.
And we have two strategies to help you do just that…
Use Gold as a 2018 Stock Market Correction Hedge
The first safeguard strategy is to add gold to your portfolio. Gold is always a standard protection against uncertainty and volatility in the stock market.
Check out how gold performed during the 2008 financial crisis and stock market crash.
The Dow Jones gave up almost 50% of its value from peak to trough. At the same time, the price of gold gained 5%.
Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald recommends keeping 2% to 5% of your total portfolio in gold, to provide you with a hedge against uncertainty.
And while you can always buy physical gold in bars or coins, adding gold exposure is even easier than that.
The best way to gain gold exposure is through the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: GLD). As an ETF, it trades just like a stock, so there's no need to worry about shipping gold bars or insuring them against theft or less. Plus, GLD tracks the change in gold price, which means you're getting the same benefits of owning gold without any extra fees.
GLD currently trades at $125 a share, which means you can control more of it than an ounce of gold, which is currently $1,320.
While gold will help add some stability to your portfolio, you'll still want to own stocks with upside potential.
Our second strategy is to buy some of the most resilient, must-have stocks on the market.
The two stocks we're about to show you have double-digit upside this year and have a track record of performing even during market downturns.
Here's how you can profit from owning some of the best stocks during a market correction…

Multimodal therapy in treatment of rectal cancer is associated with improved survival and reduced local recurrence - a retrospective analysis over two decades (2014)
Background The management of rectal cancer (RC) has substantially changed over the last decades with the implementation of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, adjuvant therapy and improved surgery such as total mesorectal excision (TME). It remains unclear in which way these approaches overall influenced the rate of local recurrence and overall survival. Methods Clinical, histological and survival data of 658 out of 662 consecutive patients with RC were analyzed for treatment and prognostic factors from a prospectively expanded single-institutional database. Findings were then stratified according to time of diagnosis in patient groups treated between 1993 and 2001 and 2002 and 2010. Results The study population included 658 consecutive patients with rectal cancer between 1993 and 2010. Follow up data was available for 99.6% of all 662 treated patients. During the time period between 2002 and 2010 significantly more patients underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (17.6% vs. 60%) and adjuvant chemotherapy (37.9% vs. 58.4%). Also, the rate of reported TME during surgery increased. The rate of local or distant metastasis decreased over time, and tumor related 5-year survival increased significantly with from 60% to 79%. Conclusion In our study population, the implementation of treatment changes over the last decade improved the patient's outcome significantly. Improvements were most evident for UICC stage III rectal cancer.
Original article: role of adjuvant chemotherapy in a perioperative chemotherapy regimen for gastric cancer (2016)
Background Multimodal treatment strategies – perioperative chemotherapy (CTx) and radical surgery – are currently accepted as treatment standard for locally advanced gastric cancer. However, the role of adjuvant postoperative CTx (postCTx) in addition to neoadjuvant preoperative CTx (preCTx) in this setting remains controversial. Methods Between 4/2006 and 12/2013, 116 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer were treated with preCTx. 72 patients (62 %), in whom complete tumor resection (R0, subtotal/total gastrectomy with D2-lymphadenectomy) was achieved, were divided into two groups, one of which receiving adjuvant therapy (n = 52) and one without (n = 20). These groups were analyzed with regard to survival and exclusion criteria for adjuvant therapy. Results Postoperative complications, as well as their severity grade, did not correlate with fewer postCTx cycles administered (p = n.s.). Long-term survival was shorter in patients receiving postCTx in comparison to patients without postCTx, but did not show statistical significance. In per protocol analysis by excluding two patients with perioperative death, a shorter 3-year survival rate was observed in patients receiving postCTx compared to patients without postCTx (3-year survival: 71.2 % postCTx group vs. 90.0 % non-postCTx group; p = 0.038). Conclusion These results appear contradicting to the anticipated outcome. While speculative, they question the value of post-CTx. Prospectively randomized studies are needed to elucidate the role of postCTx.

How to Adjust Car Headlights in a Vauxhall Astraby Matt Scheer
Although there are many models of the Vauxhall Astra, the process for adjusting the headlights is very similar. Unlike many vehicles, the Astra has two adjustment points that are turned with allen wrenches. (Most vehicles have either turning rods that you move with your hands or a screwdriver.) Either way, adjusting the headlights correctly is essential to driving safety, as poor visibility can endanger everyone on the road.
Step 1
Park your Astra facing a flat vertical surface, such as a garage door, 25 feet away.
Step 2
Turn on the headlights and prop open the hood.
Step 3
Look for the two hexagon-shaped adjustment points behind the headlight you wish to adjust.
Insert your allen wrench into an adjustment point to change the vertical or horizontal aim of the headlight. Adjust the aim so that the headlight hits the ground where the ground meets the vertical surface the Astra is facing.

The Greatest Show on Turf: Gold Cup Day (start spreading the news)
There's something about Gold Cup Day. For me, Champion Hurdle Day used to be the most nerve-wracking day of the Festival because it was Day One and I was always in love: Rooster Booster, Detroit City, Harchibald, Brave Inca and Hardy Eustace. It was the race I had invested in most heavily emotionally, and sometimes financially, because it felt more like a bit of me. It spoke to my passion for flat racing and as a lot of the contenders had flat racing pedigrees I had another angle in on the form. By Gold Cup day, I was too knackered to do anything more than enjoy the last championship race.
Then a few years ago in a conversation with a fellow punter, sitting in those elevated seats overlooking the course at another Cheltenham meeting, I mentioned that, to me, the Champion Hurdle had started to feel more like a sacrifical altar than a race. As I said it, I was looking out towards Cleeve Hill and imagining all those Champion Hurdlers coming round the top bend. It was one of those things you say, but weren't expecting to. Since then, Tuesday at the Festival has seemed a little less vitally important.
Gold Cup Day, now on a Friday, stands alone. It never has seemed like a sacrificial altar to me and I don't want it to start now! After all, if you've (the horse) have made it there with a serious chance its just like that line in the Sinatra song New York, New York about making it anywere…King of the Hill, Head of the Heap, Top of the List, King of the Hill la, la, la…
Sorry. No doubt about it, the Gold Cup is a culmination. It is the culmination of the working week, it is the culmination of our National Hunt season, it is the culmination of the Festival and it is the culmination of a jumps horse's career.
To culminate means to bring to a point of greatest intensity or completion, from the Latin root culminare meaning to crown, or culmen meaning the summit. And there is more. It also has a meaning relating to astronomy. To culminate in astronomical terms means that a star, or other celestial body, reaches the highest point above an observer's horizon.
Gold Cup Day has its own Star today and I, along with most of the racing fraternity, are hoping beyond hope to see the culmination of Kauto Star's most magnificent career. If he wins, I will surely be enjoying my own culmination: following the Star into my own celestial meridian.
P.S. If Kauto Star doesn't win, please let him come back safe with all the rest, and I know we will love him just as much, if not more, as before. And I will still play the Frank Sinatra tune tonight and toast the greatest jump horse I have ever seen.

England's Care.data Fiasco: Open Government Data Done Wrong
BY Wendy M. Grossman | Monday, April 21 2014
Given the power to open up access to public health data in legislation passed in 2012, the governing health authority ordered care.data into being at the end of 2013, and distributed information leaflets in January 2014. Unfortunately, the process has been confused by conflicting promises of protecting personal information and expanding commercial access. The resulting furor, which has seen the program delayed for six months for a rethink, has seriously damaged public trust in how the English National Health Service (NHS) intends to manage the country's medical data. Wendy M. Grossman explains what went wrong. Read More

Product Description
Rebecca Rosen Charon has her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. She has been working as a freelance Graphic Designer while also continuing to produce fine art. In moving to Hawai'i in 1996, and settling at The Art Farm, she found inspiration and the right environment to further her art.
Rebecca has a love for color, and likes juxtaposing realism with freer more stylized elements. She also has a passion for abstract designs in the form of patterns. These designs have become a visual language similar to that of many aboriginal cultures whose one way of communicating is in the form of symbols and patterns used on textiles, in tattoos, on ceramics, etc. Here in Hawai'i she has explored the hawaiian symbols on tapa, tattoos and petroglyphs incorporating them with her own language into her work.

Hello everyone! This post is from Jake, and I am excited to be writing. I have decided to write a few posts to help in your decision for choosing which camera you should buy. I have really been the silent observer ever since Amy started Simply b four years ago. Being the silent observer has really given me some great insight into photography, and allowed me to learn a few things along the way. I hope that the insight that I have into how to choose the best camera is informative and helps you make a decision that you will be happy with.
Perhaps one of the most frequent questions that comes up from many of the people we meet is "which camera should I get?". Unfortunately, this is not an easy question to answer, for many reasons. It really boils down to personal preference, which is difficult because everyone has their likes and dislikes. Fact is, most of us tend to be brand loyal in some form or another. Take Amy for example. The woman loves to go to Target. And by loves, I mean, her whole entire countenance changes walking through the doors there. I used to think it was really weird that her mood could change simply by being in that store. Needless to say, I got wise pretty quick, and if moods are getting sour on the big blue bus, it is in my bag of tricks to pull into a Target, and as a result, moods usually improve just from us being there.
Anyway, back to brand loyalty. There are dozens of manufactures to choose from, and all of them have their respective strengths and weaknesses. It really takes knowing what features you want prior to beginning your shopping trip to the camera store. Shopping can get frustrating, and what I hope to address and clarify is what to do if you don't know enough about photography to even know what features you want. That is where I hope to be able to help out, if you can just bear with me…..
What really pays to remember is that cameras are simply a tool. It's what is happening behind the camera that ultimately matters. I have seen amazing photos come from iPhones, Droids, point and shoots, digital and film cameras alike. What makes me really happy is to see A Day With Amy Alumni sharing photos that are capturing day to day moments with whatever camera they have on hand, and to have those photos record the moments and memories that otherwise would have been lost forever. With all that being said, I want you look at your camera as a tool, and to be comfortable enough with that tool that you can easily pick it up, shoot a photo and not be intimidated by your camera.
I learn best from stories, and I love to tell them, especially ones with a correlation in there, so here goes… I love flying, and always knew I wanted to be a pilot from a very young age. I had a large poster hanging in my bedroom of the flight deck of a very large airplane with dials, switches, knobs, handles, and gauges of all kinds that I thought fascinating, even though I didn't have a clue as to what they were or what they could do. After I started to learn how to fly, I realized that airplanes were indeed very complex, especially the bigger and bigger they got. After years of flying small airplanes, each one a little more complex than the last, I eventually ended up flying an airplane exactly like the one that was on the poster in my room. Guess what, I can now point to every single knob, dial, gauge, and switch on that poster and have complete and total understanding of what the different things do and mean. It took me years and years of dedication, study, trial and even sometimes error to get to where I am with flying, but I am totally comfortable flying large, complex airplanes. Although large airplanes are more comfortable, faster, and safer to fly, there is a joy of stepping back into the simplicity of a small airplane and going for a joyride. I think you will find lots of similarities with my journey of learning to fly with your journey into photography.
I think the best place for someone to start their photography journey is with the very camera that you already have. For most, this will be the camera in their phone, for others, it may be the point and shoot that comes out of the junk drawer for birthdays and holidays. The point here is to find out if photography is a hobby you would like to pursue by experimenting with different subjects. Do you like to photograph people? pets? landscape? flowers? architecture? The list is endless, but the purpose is the same. You need to find out if you enjoy it through experimentation. Give it a fair chance, as I think that you will find that there is a place for everyone in photography.
The experience of looking at a DSLR camera for the first time can be a little overwhelming. They look menacing at first sight, but with a little patience, study, trial and error, you will know the function and purpose of every single dial, knob, switch and button on the camera. The cameras that I am choosing to review in my next post are all capable shooting in manual mode. As you can see from the prices associated with each, there is a wide variety of choice. I find it similar to purchasing a car. You can spend anywhere from $15,000 to $70,000 on a car, with the end purpose of that car of getting you from point A to point B. The more expensive the car, the more features and performance it will have. For some, the bells and whistles matter quite a lot, but for others, not so much. Some prefer to buy used as opposed to new, and on and on. The same is very much true for cameras as well, the end goal being that you really want to take a nice image with a camera that has just the right features, and keep it within your budget.
Check back soon for some direction and pointers for your upcoming purchase!

To find out which .NET Frameworks are on your system, run this tool:

Are you saying that when you tried to run netfx_setupverifier.exe that you got a dialog indicating that it requires .NET Framework 2.0? That's very odd because that program is not a .NET application.
The download you should have retrieved is netfx_setupverifier_new.zip. You then have to open the Zip archive to retrieve the .exe.
