When the walk sign flashes red and the tempo picks up as falling leaves around you carry the tune in your ears, there's only one explanation: You're hearing the soundtrack to your life.
To get a copy, simply buy a collection of music, carry it around with you and listen to it.
The hard part is in deciding what device is up to the task of playing the tunes.
The classic tape or CD players can't be discounted. Neither can the wide selection of iPods, some smaller than a pack of gum.

But the way to ensure you'll have your music with you at all times is to store it on your cellphone — the item you most likely grab when leaving the house.
The cellphone that can play back music isn't for everyone. There's something to be said for having a workhorse MP3 player that has the gigabyte capacity to entertain you on a trip around the world. But that's not what we are talking about here.
We are diving into a much smaller universe — cellphones that have music playback capabilities. In looking at this small but quickly growing segment of the device chart, I tested four cellphones currently on the market or scheduled to come out soon.
In no particular order, the phones I poked, prodded and occasionally dropped were the LG VX9800 from Verizon Wireless, the Samsung A940 from Sprint, the Motorola Rokr from Cingular Wireless and the Sony Ericsson W600i (available through a soon-to-be-announced carrier).
After three weeks carrying these phones in my pockets or my purse, I realized none is perfect. Each had a flaw. Likewise, each one had at least one strong music-related feature, which leads me to believe there is a phone out there for everyone.
The phone I found myself gravitating to most often was the Rokr, which comes loaded with Apple Computer's iTunes software. I was surprised. Before its release it received endless hype, only to be criticized upon its arrival. The biggest rub was that it was a mediocre music player in the eyes of die-hard iPod fans.
I saw it a different way. As a Discman user with no biases toward any digital device, I found the Rokr to be an easy-to-use phone that played music. That's a winning combination to me.
Here's a detailed look at all the phones. I considered mainly three things: the functionality of the music player, the functionality of the phone (it has to make calls, right?) and the price.
Motorola Rokr
The Rokr, as a music player, ranked highest on my chart.
A button labeled with a green musical note leads to the iTunes software. From there a little joystick helps you navigate the playlist. It's easy and fast to get into and out of my quick music escapes.
When a call comes in, the music pauses. When the call ends, the song picks up where it left off. Likewise, the music player can run in the background while you surf the Web or send a text message, making for a good music player and communication device. Battery life was superb.
The downsides were that it takes 40 minutes to load 100 songs onto the phone using a USB cable attached to a computer, and the maximum the device allows is 100 tracks, regardless of your memory chip size. Also, you can't set a song as your ringtone.
The phone, which comes with a basic camera, is $150 with a two-year Cingular contract.
This phone, offered by Verizon Wireless, has extraordinary features, but the music player isn't one of them.
The candy-bar-sized phone flips open on its side to reveal a full keyboard and a big screen. It runs on Verizon's high-speed EV-DO network and gets VCast, the carrier's TV service. That's what it is good at.
Playing music is easy, too. The player launches with the press of a key on the navigation pad. A list of songs pops up, and you simply pick one. Getting the music there is also easy. Its 128-megabyte mini SD card can be loaded into a SD reader, which plugs into your computer's USB port. Music and movies can be transferred over using a drag-and-drop approach.
However, listening to the music is what doesn't work well. It's too quiet on a headset. Road noise easily drowns it out. And when a call comes in, the song is dropped and doesn't pick up again. Ditto when using other features, including text messaging or Web surfing.
This high-end phone, which comes with endless accessories such as Bluetooth and a 1.3-megapixel camera, is $300 with a two-year contract.
Samsung A940
The Samsung is a great overall phone and has stellar music features no other carrier has been willing to match as yet.
Although users have been purchasing snippets of songs as ringtones for some time, Sprint is the first carrier in the U.S. to allow over-the-air purchase of full music tracks.
It's not without a cost. Each track is $2.50, a heavy premium to pay over the 99-cent songs on iTunes. The only part that makes it easier to swallow is that you get a copy both for the cellphone and for the PC, which can be downloaded off of Sprint's Web site. Also, songs you've already purchased on the PC can be moved to the phone through a USB cable, leaving the phone's music store for more spontaneous purchases.
The store has more than 25,000 songs (Eminem alone occupies a few pages). The application lists songs bycategory, such as What's Hot and Breakthrough Artists. You can choose Search or look through such genres as Opera and Spoken Word. Songs download quickly over Sprint's high-speed EV-DO network.
The problem, as I see it, is that the player is packaged with the store. Each time you want to listen to music, you have to load the player, which requires a couple of clicks and then a wait. But once running, it works well and doesn't interfere with incoming calls or any of the phone functions.
I give the Samsung a lot of credit in other areas, especially for packaging all the fancy extras in such an intuitive phone. It has a 2-megapixel zoom camera. It even scans business cards and plays live TV in sync with national broadcasts. The price? $250 after rebate.
Sony Ericsson
This phone is by far the coolest. The sleek design is a showstopper. The compact phone is silver and metallic orange in the style of the Sony Walkman. It twists up and open, a difficult move at first, but thankfully not one you have to do often unless you make a lot of calls.
The music features are similar to those of the Rokr. The player launches at one touch, and the layout of the software is similar, with playlists.
To get music on the phone, it has to be loaded from a PC through a USB cable. You also must download special software to the PC, but it's easy enough that you'll never have to read the instruction manual.
The phone has many other functions as well. It lets you listen to the radio. Users can take videos, edit them on the phone, even adding comments of text on the screen.
I think the phone's best feature is its ability to set a song from your music collection as a ringtone. This is the only model I tested that allows you to do this.
My one complaint is that the design is so cool that the buttons aren't labeled, making it confusing to use. Over time, this could be just a minor annoyance. It's also slightly irritating that the phone isn't readily available through a carrier yet. But when it is, the price — expected to be about $200 — is right.

At least it's admirable that Donohue manages to do almost all his shooting with either web cams, phone cams or surveillance cameras. But that does not translate into an entirely enjoyable viewing experience. Plus, there are almost no real shocks or scares to rattle you out of the stupor that inevitably develops from observing someone else fiddle with their laptop for much of the running time. show more

A tale of two administrations
With an emphasis on areas where their policies have diverged, here's a look at the records of Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R), whose four-year tenure as governor of Maryland began in 2003, and Martin O'Malley (D), who succeeded Ehrlich in January 2007:
Robert L. Ehrlich (R)

Martin O'Malley (D)
Photo by Sarah L. Voisin - The Washington Post
|Total spending in Maryland, not counting money held back in reserves, rose from $22.3 billion the year before Ehrlich took office to $28.1 billion the year he left office -- a 26 percent increase.
Fiscal year/expenditures*
|Total spending in Maryland, not counting money held back in reserves, rose from $28.1 billion the year before O'Malley took office to a proposed $32 billion for the final year of his term -- an increase of 13.9 percent.
Fiscal year/expenditures*
|Kept a promise not to raise personal income or sales taxes during tenure but agreed to a state property tax increase in 2003, which was partially rolled back in 2006. Ehrlich also proposed numerous fee increases early in his term, including a new surcharge on sewage and septic systems, higher vehicle registration fees and corporate filing fees.
|In a 2007 special session, backed increases on the sales tax, corporate income tax, tobacco tax and titling tax. He also supported higher personal income taxes on upper-income earners while cutting taxes for middle- and lower-income earners.
|During his four years, proposed $622.7 million for school construction, and the legislature allocated $818.9 million.
|During first three years, proposed $1 billion for school construction; the legislature allocated more than $1 billion. Has proposed an additional $255.5 million this year, bringing four-year total to $1.3 billion.
|Ehrlich won approval from the Bush administration for the 18.8-mile Intercounty Connector. Construction is underway on the highway, which will run across Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
|During the 2007 special session, O'Malley-backed tax increases and other budget maneuvers resulting in an additional $450 million per year in transportation funding. That figure has dropped significantly, due to subsequent budget transfers and lower-than-expected tax collections. O'Malley has also championed and sought federal funding for the Purple Line, a proposed light-rail link between New Carrollton and Bethesda.

Here she is! A fellow Calgarian, Kali!
My name is Kali, and I have been a member of the senior national team for the past 2 years. At the young age of 7, I was introduced to the beautiful sport of synchro. My auntie had thought it would be perfect for me as it combined my love of water, dance, and gymnastics. It turned out that she was right, and here I am 14 years later, still loving every minute of it.
I began my career with the Calgary Aquabelles for 11 years until I graduated from high school at theNational Sport School. Following my graduation, I was accepted to Concordia University, which pushed my decision to move to Montreal, and begin my training with Dollard Synchro until I was chosen to be a member of the national team. I am really enjoying and looking forward to everything being a national team member has to offer me. I've gained so much knowledge of the sport and have had many new experiences that help me in my everyday life.
Aside from training I am also coaching a wide array of athletes at Dollard Synchro from lessons, to the more experienced juniors. I've recognized my love of coaching, and helping individuals to find their passion is something that I will continue to do for many years to come.
Away from the pool, I am a member of a variety of fandoms, Harry Potter being my absolute favourite!!! 😀 Some of my hobbies include getting lost in a good book, watching TV shows endlessly (when I have the time), baking yummy desserts, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
I'm looking forward to the adventure ahead of me, and am excited to share parts of it with all of you! 🙂

Yeah, now she does. [Video]
Why did typing that just make me laugh? Dammit, I was serious. :(
For sure it`s a terrible thing for ANYONE, i cant even imagine. But that chick looks like someone who wouldnt give two hoots about anyone but herself till something like this happens to them. I dont want to judge a book by it`s cover, but come on people! She TOTALLY does, u guys know the type! She`s very pretty, and she`ll meet some guy who doesnt care in the least about her missing feet. But i would bet money that she was a total b**** before this happened to her.
I agree with the people who sympathize with her. The rest of you calling her a brat - yeah, say that to her face! See how you all would like it getting your feet chopped off on an amusement ride at the age of 13. You`re all pathetic.
Only thing I didn`t like about her was her being a tad over-dramatic and giving details on her pain. It`s ALMOST like she was playing the pity card. But attention-wh**** is not the right way to put it. She *is* trying to help after all. Give her a break.
Gonna Be RICH!
"No one should ever have to go through what I went through or others have gone through".
No one should ever have to go through what anyone else has to go through....GENIUS!
I also like the use of "sucks". shows composer, maturity. I would have died inside if I was the mom.
crux: Six Flags is at fault, and can be sued, but they are settleing out of court.
To all you brats calling her a brat: I`d shut the hell up until something tragic happens to you. She lost an appendage, you`d be pissed too.
Lastly, increased FEDERAL legislation is not going to help. When they finally get around to compiling the statistics, it will be around 90% riders at fault. If you jump from a moving vehicle (and living in Orlando, I know it happens all the time) don`t expect to come out of it. The other 10% is tragic, but rare and I believe the states do a good job regulating the industry.
Besides, if the amusement park industry was dangerous, you wouldn`t come spend your money.
You cant sue amusement parks, if anything goes wrong it was your decision not theirs. I think they are smarter then that.
And the weirdest thing, I remember looking at the ride once while passing it and saying "I wonder, is it safe for the cables to be exposed like that?" My husband brushed it off saying "I Dunno." and I said "Well I guess it couldn`t do to much damage if it snapped."
yeah. right.
on the one hand, she is acting like losing her feet is the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. accidents happen, and considering that it could`ve been a lot worse, and there are plenty of people in the world that live in worse circumstances, she should count herself lucky.
but on the other hand, the six flags people could`ve prevented the accident by properly checking the equipment before the day. yes, i know they check the rides every morning, but things can get overlooked by someone that isn`t paying attention.
Why can`t she go in a wheelchair? What`s interupting her from living a normal life?
From what I understand it`s only been 11 months so the pain might be why she can`t go but come on... get over it.
My girlfriend had her left leg amputated 3 months ago and we went to see Iron Man in theater like we used to before. No big deal.
Cut her some slack you mooseheads!
I`m not saying, "she bought a ticket, so she should shut up," just pointing out that an amusement park is a potentially VERY dangerous place and contracts like this are in place to protect the operator or else there`d be a lawsuit over anything from a stubbed toe to a broken nail.
The tragedy was due to one of several possible explanations:
1) faulty design
2) faulty construction
3) faulty maintenance
4) faulty operation
5) faulty patron
Government involvement would also be less effective the further down the list you go or would require substantial manpower and tax dollars.
So in short:
Tragic, but will government involvement
And no one ever got their feet severed. We`d had like, 2 or 3 accidents from rollercoasters there, and almost all of them were from the Texas Cyclone, that wooden rollercoaster. None of our metal ones ever screwed up. XD
So, it`s bad luck. She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It could be a lot worse. I realize this kind of **** happens to perfectly normal people and most of them just learn to cope. But that`s just a personal choice to be silent, if someone wants to tell these amusement parks to get their crap together and rethink their safety guidelines, then more power to the person. She`ll eventually move on, I agree with that, but it doesn`t hurt to just let people know her experience. Same with everyone else if they want.
And so intelligent sounding. I hope she does something good for the world.
Poor kid... And I think those who are calling her a bratty kid, attention whore, etc. are being a bit mean. Sure, she might sound ticked, but she`s within her rights... I doubt you would be exactly thrilled with things after having a foot severed when you`re a kid.
But honestly I dont think she`s an attention whore. This a terrible thing to happen to someone. Especially to a young person whos life is just starting. Amusement park rides are supposed to be fun and safe. Your acting like she willingly jumped off a cliff or something.
there are people who live their life in pain every day, who can`t walk without help, go to the mall on a regular basis, do everything their friends do, etc, and you don`t hear them complaining about how hard their lives are. she should consider herself lucky that she can go through so much recovery...
I understood where you were coming from until you referred to this issue as a bratty little kids drama. What is wrong with you people?
The Superman Tower of Power ride was one of those magnetically slowed "great drop" rides.
This one, during normal operation, dropped a total of 177 ft.
During faulty operation, apparently, it dropped 179 ft.
about the girl, i think she is perfectly justified in what she is asking. if you got your feet cut off, would you just shrug and say `it could have been worse`? she just wants to make sure that no one goes through what she had to.
Anywho, I agree with everybody that says she needs to suck it up and move on.
doesnt show anything
Oh boo-hoo you lost your feet, you`re a pretty girl, and you have a lot going for you. It could be worse, you could have been hurt a lot worse, suck it up and deal.
I`d need the details of where she was standing when she got her feet chopped off, was she where she was supposed to be?
Either way, it should never have happened.

Engine: 350 CID V8
Transmission: TH350
Mileage: 14031 ( since rebuilt )
Body Style: Sedan
Exterior Color: Black
Interior Color: Red
This beautiful black 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. 1940 was a rough year to be in the car business. With war on everyone's mind and not even quite recovered from the worst economic downturn the world had ever seen. Having that said Ford had done very little to its line up with the major differences happening actually on the inside. The outside was already near perfection which is probably why these cars are still so loved today. Popular to the Streetrod crowd, they are taken and stripped down to nothing but a shell and then rebuilt using modern parts. This 40 Ford is a great example of just that. The body itself is in excellent shape with panel fitment being of the highest quality. The black paint looks like a sheet of glass with the chrome being the perfect contrast. The extra wide white walls are a classic touch with the red painted steel wheels completing that timeless look. Under the hood is the most popular engine to ever be created, the small block 350. This one has been specifically designed and fitted to this particular car giving it a very fresh look. The ram air style breather sits proudly atop the small block Chevy. Transferring power to the ground via a TH350 the car cruises rather nicely. The rear end houses a set of what are believed to be 3.55 gears that will allow you to drive this beauty at highway speeds. Open the door and a well equipped interior not only looks good but is extremely comfortable. The front bucket seats are separated by a console which houses the automatic shifter making you feel as if you are in a sports car. The radio has been specially mounted just to ensure no cutting of the dash. After all it is 76 years old. Options on this extremely clean 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan include; AC, AM/FM/CD, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Tilt, Cloth Interior, and Wide White Wall Radial Tires. This 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan can be seen, including an HD video, at www.gatewayclassiccars.com. For more information call the showroom at (812) 294 1555 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The gigantic rocking chair at the Fanning Outpost General Store in the Route 66 hamlet of Fanning, Mo., was certified as an official Guinness World Record as the largest such piece of furniture, according to a news release Wednesday.
The chair was custom-built for store owner Dan Sanazaro last April. Officially, the chair measures 42 feet, 1 inch tall and 20 feet, 3 inches wide. It weighs about 27,500 pounds. The chair is so large, it was built in pieces off-site, then assembled at the store's property.
The Guinness folks requested one other thing to ensure the chair's insertion into the record books:
One more detail that Guinness requested was that the chair actually had to rock while it was videotaped. Joe Medwick cut the welds so that Sanazaro and some of his workers could push the chair to rock it. Medwick then re-welded the chair in place.
Here's the video of the chair rocking:
Sanazaro said the chair is usually welded down for safety reasons.
And, as planned, the big rocker has helped the store attract a lot of visitors:
The World's Largest Rocker has taken its place not only in the photo albums of both American and world travelers who have journeyed to the Sanazaros' businesses next to the rocker.
"Have you seen our guest book?" asks Carolyn Sanazaro. Signatures from Norway, Japan, Germany, and Italy are interspersed with those from Boston, New York, California, and other points.
"One thing that surprised me this year, is the travelers from all over the world that travel Route 66," states Dan Sanazaro. "It's amazing."
The store is hosting a four-mile "Run to the Rocker" Fun Run on April 4 and a "Picture on the Rocker" Day on Aug. 1.

Sydney, Mar 17, 2015: Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath was rated as only "fifty-fifty" by captain Angelo Mathews for tomorrow's World Cup quarter-final against South Africa in Sydney.
World Cup Special; Quarter-final Schedule
The 36-year-old Herath needed four stitches in the spinning finger of his left hand after he tried to stop a full-blooded drive from England's Jos Buttler during Sri Lanka's nine-wicket win in Wellington on March 1 and hasn't played since.
Herath's left-arm spin would be a useful addition to Sri Lanka's attack on a Sydney Cricket Ground pitch taking turn But Mathews speaking before practice at the SCG on Tuesday, said of Herath: "He's still fifty-fifty. He hasn't had a bowl yet. The physio has to have a look at him once again today.
"If he bowls at practice today he'll be in contention for selection. If not, he won't be playing."
Herath's chances of featuring against South Africa appeared slim after he managed just five balls in the nets on Tuesday before consulting the physio.
If Herath is ruled out, Sri Lanka have slow bowling alternatives in the off-spin of Tillakaratne Dilshan, primarily a batsman, leg-break bowler Seekkuge Prasanna and off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake.
'Playing at MCG or Sydney is like playing at home'
Mathews is also banking on home support at the SCG. "If you play at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) or SCG it's like playing at home," Mathews said in the pre-match presser.
"Most of the Sri Lankans across Australia or across the world, they fly into Sydney with immense support for us, and we really enjoy playing in Sydney. We've been getting tremendous support wherever we played."
With many pundits hyping the contest as a de Villiers and Sangakkara clash, the Proteas captain brushes it aside and believes the game is above individuals.
"To be very honest, and I hope you don't take it the wrong way, I couldn't care less about him or me. I just want to win the game of cricket tomorrow," said the 31-year-old.
"If it's our No. 11 batsman tomorrow who wins the game for us, so be it. I just want to find a way to win."
Even Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan has told the islanders to not obsess with de Villiers presence.
"I have two messages, win the toss and do not get too hung up thinking about AB de Villiers," Murali wrote in latest ICC column.
For the record the last 16 ODIs between the two teams have produced eight wins apiece and seven of the last eight 50-over clashes between them have been won by the side batting first.

I use my branding skills to make a meaningful contribution to the world I live. Why choose the complex and controversial issue of climate change? Because time is running out and in my opinion branding can help.
We won't make people change their behavior by giving them more information. The information everyone needs to understand the problem and to make the necessary changes has been available for years. Hundreds of government and NGO websites offer them.
We won't make people change their behavior by making them feel bad or guilty, either. The very fact that environment protection is often associated with guilt and bad feelings is one of the reasons why people ignore the issue.
And we won't make people give up comfort, technology, or their modern way of life. Preaching frugality and backwardness won't get many results either.
The solution is branding and communications. We must elevate sustainable behavior and environmental protection to a coolness status, something people will voluntarily and eagerly want to do. Sustainability must be certified cool. That's why I called my company Certified Coolness.

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks at an event commemorating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month organized by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC). The theme of this year's ceremony is "A Path Forward on Comprehensive Immigration Reform." Below are the Leader's remarks:
"Thank you very much, Congresswoman Bordallo. I was sort of moving the program along by coming out during the end of the introduction because -- you have -- this is really a very special day for us when you all come together for this meeting.
"Our distinguished Democratic Whip, Mr. Hoyer, is here -- you heard from Mr. Crowley, Mr. Becerra. All of the Members of the House Democratic Leadership have come to pay our respects to all of you.
"In the interest of time, and not bearing repetition -- even though some of it does bear repetition -- I want to associate myself with the remarks of my colleagues who spoke before, on the path forward on immigration. May I just say that, of the principles of our Caucus, that we have all stuck together on and are fighting for, family unification is very important to this Caucus, to our country.
"Let me just say that I associate myself with the remarks of Joe Crowley; however, I contend that I, in San Francisco, have the most diverse district in the country. And that -- from the standpoint of the Asian American Pacific Islander Community, we certainly rank up there very high. We consider that a source of strength. And I'll just make this one point, because we have shared values, we've come together time and time again -- smaller groups, this big group coming together -- I just want to make this one point: in this last Congress, we elected five more Members of the Caucus -- to the CAPAC Caucus -- to the House of Representatives. You know who they are: Grace Meng, Ami Bera, Tammy Duckworth, Mark Takano, and Tulsi Gabbard. Let's hear it for them for coming.
"That's a beautiful thing. And they now have made us, the House Democratic Caucus, fifty-four percent of our Caucus is women, minorities, or LBGT community members. That's a wonderful thing.
"We want more. We want more. And we say to our white male colleagues: "Good for you, not that we're better, it's just that the beauty is in the mix' -- and we want to have a diversity of opinions and when we see Americans look at Congress, we want them to see someone who shares their experience, their values, their background, aspirations of their communities. And we are very, very proud of that. And I thank all of you for your participation in this celebration. It is just that, when we talk about a path to legalization, to a path to comprehensive immigration reform, we're talking about something very patriotic, very all American. As I contend and have always said, our founders were about commitment to making the future better for the next generation. And every immigrant who comes to our country with the hope, the determination, the optimism that our founders had setting up this country for the future, all of them come to America, every immigrant who comes with that determination, hope and optimism makes America more American.
"So thank you for what you have done in that regard. Thank you for what you've done to grow our economy through small businesses and every other size. Thank you for what you have done, leading the way academically, and in so many ways. Thank you to all of you. And I believe -- when we leave here and go to the speech after that -- I'll be meeting with Steny, and Mr. Crowley, and Mr. Becerra, and others about the immigration bill. We feel very, very hopeful that we will be able to move forward on this before the session of this Congress is out. That we will indeed have passed comprehensive immigration reform. It couldn't happen without you.
"Thank you all very much for this and for so much else. Thank you."

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Gore Verbinski, 2006)
My dear Mr. Verbinski;
Greetings from the captain of the "Black Pearl," and congratulations on your commercial success. It has been made known to me through various tabloids that yours has earned the most receipts of any theatrical production yet made, and that you apparently "rule the box-office," much as my own crew once ruled the Caribbean.
All the more unfortunate, then, that fate should assign me the task of reprimanding you for what I feel is a task half-done. "Half-done?" you may ask; "but the box-office! The tremendous popularity of the picture (Odd term that--most "pictures" I know are painted and hang on walls)!" True, but given the success of your earlier effort ("The Curse of the Black Pearl," if I recall correctly) I would have imagined that you and your illustrious collaborators would have both the financial means and freedom to do something better, to improve on what simply was a fortuitous bit of casting on your part--namely, assigning thespian John Depp the task of portraying yours truly on the large screen (and it really is a large screen, apparently; I had taken the liberty of poking at it a few times with my cutlass until told I must seat myself if the show was to start).

Chancellor Kern: Please stop CETA
The TTIP negotiations have been dealt a serious blow – thanks to the efforts of people like you right across Europe. But the European Commission is now trying to force through a sister trade deal called CETA (between the EU and Canada) – and we only have a few
TTIP and CETA are effectively the same deals. Multinationals with Canadian subsidiaries can sue for lost profits just like what was planned with TTIP.
In two weeks EU member states vote on CETA and just one "No" vote could derail the entire deal. Austrian Chancellor Kern has already expressed concerns that CETA will "shift the power balance in favor of global enterprises." [2] He's our best chance right now but he needs to hear from as many of us as possible if he's to stay strong.
Uplift members are teaming up with people powered communities across Europe to send our message to Chancellor Kern. [3] Can you add your voice to this open letter asking him to vote against the CETA proposal on October 18th?
[1] TTIP on its deathbed, but CETA moves forward despite growing concerns,
[2] Austria says will start 'conflict' in EU about Canada trade deal

The Global Economic Crisis: Impact on India and Policy Responses
India's financial sector is not deeply integrated with the global financial system, which spared it the first round adverse effects of the global financial crisis and left Indian banks mostly unaffected. However, as the financial crisis morphed in to a full-blown global economic downturn, India could not escape the second round effects. The global crisis has affected India through three distinct channels: financial markets, trade flows, and exchange rates. The reversal in capital inflows, which created a credit crunch in domestic markets along with a severe deterioration in export demand, contributed to the decline of gross domestic product by more than 2 percentage points in the fiscal year 2008–2009. In line with efforts taken by governments and central banks all over the world, the Government and the Reserve Bank of India took aggressive countercyclical measures, sharply relaxing monetary policy and introducing a fiscal stimulus to boost domestic demand. However, this paper argues that with very limited fiscal maneuverability and the limited traction of monetary policy, policy measures to restore the Indian gross domestic product growth back to its potential rate of 8–9% must focus on addressing the structural constraints that are holding down private investment demand.

At one point Tom ran up behind Nikki and grabbed her waist as she playfully tried to fight him off.

She told Digital Spy: "Me and Tim are really good friends and I'm going to go and visit him in Australia next year and we're going to go and do a mini road trip.
"I've forgiven all of them – that's why I'm not watching it, because I don't want to have any bad feelings towards any of them…
"I've been speaking to all of them and I will stay in touch with all of them – except Maddie. Ugh. No, thank you. She is just pure poison."
She famously suffered a meltdown on the show during her stint.

After giving the housemates the task of putting slop into buckets of those they wanted to be have nots, Big Brother revealed that Nikki was one of the unfortunate ones.
Refusing to accept her fate for the next few days, Nikki, who became known for her outbursts on the UK version, declared that she was "self combusting" during a tearful chat with Big Brother.
While some housemates let her get on with it, others looked on in shock as she attacked a mirror in the bathroom.
"I've got no one in this s**thole anymore. I just can't take it," she exclaimed.

text: Page Image Image Caption Page ContentMontréal, 12 to 14 September 2012 The High-level Conference on Aviation Security, convened by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) at its Headquarters in Montréal, was held from 12 to 14 September 2012. The Conference was attended by over 700 participants representing 132 Member States, and 23 international and regional organizations and industry associations. Acknowledging the critical role of civil aviation in global economic development and the various security challenges which the international air transport sector faces today, the Conference highlighted: a) that credible threats exist and need to be addressed effectively to protect civil aviation; b) that terrorism does not respect borders and if not mitigated, can cause the loss of life and injury to persons, seriously disrupt international air transport operations, result in significant damage to civil aviation equipment and facilities, and undermine public confidence in air transport; c) Resolution A37-17, the Declaration on Aviation Security, and the ICAO Comprehensive Aviation Security Strategy (ICASS), which further enhance aviation security for the safeguarding of international civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference; d) the Joint Statements adopted at ICAO Regional Aviation Security Conferences held in Bahrain, India, Malaysia, Russian Federation, Senegal and Venezuela; e) the importance of the cooperation and coordination between ICAO, its Member States, international and regional organizations, industry and all other stakeholders to achieve a sustainable level of aviation security; f) that all ICAO Member States are committed to compliance with the aviation security Standards and Recommended Practices in ICAO Annexes 17 — Security and 9 — Facilitation to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and other aviation security conventions; and g) that a balance should be maintained between the needs of security, facilitation, efficiency and effectiveness. Mindful of these points, the Conference: 1) encouraged ICAO Member States and industry stakeholders to adopt a risk-based approach to aviation security; 2) welcomed the initiative taken by ICAO to establish a Risk Context Statement which provides valuable information to its Member States and offers a robust methodology for States to use in further developing their own national risk assessments, should they choose to use this methodology; 3) requested ICAO and its Member States to consider developing a more outcomes-based approach when regulating aviation security, as this would help them better define the security objectives of their measures; 4) strongly encouraged ICAO to expedite the adoption of new security Standards and Recommended Practices to mitigate the risk to air cargo and mail, based on the implementation of secure supply chain systems, common baseline security measures for both passenger and all-cargo aircraft, and enhanced security measures for cargo and mail considered to be high risk; 5) requested ICAO, the World Customs Organization, the Universal Postal Union and industry stakeholders to identify further synergies between aviation security, Customs and postal security requirements, with the objective of facilitating trade while assuring the security of air cargo and mail; 6) acknowledged that threats posed by insiders are real, and therefore urged ICAO Member States to implement effective mitigation measures, and to adopt a revised ICAO Standard on the screening of persons other than passengers as soon as practicable; 7) acknowledged the need for ICAO and its Member States to address the continued threat to international civil aviation posed by liquid, aerosol and gel (LAG) explosives, including the implementation of technological solutions needed to gradually lift restrictions on the carriage of LAGs in cabin baggage; 8) requested ICAO Member States to treat flights arriving from States where LAGs screening is applied in the same way as flights from States where LAGs restrictions are applied; 9) supported the transition of the ICAO Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP) to a Continuous Monitoring Approach that combines a risk-based approach to auditing and continuous monitoring, while considering national and regional organization oversight capabilities; 10) requested ICAO to make the best use of USAP audit results for defining and targeting aviation security capacity-building activities for the benefit of Member States in need; 11) encouraged Member States to share USAP audit results in an appropriate and secure manner in order to target capacity-building and technical assistance efforts on those areas where they would do most good; 12) acknowledged the progress made in the implementation of the ICAO Aviation Security Strategy on Capacity Building, and requested ICAO to strengthen its efforts, with additional focus to be given to air cargo and mail security capacity-building activities; 13) encouraged ICAO Member States and relevant stakeholders such as regional organizations to enter into partnership agreements for the organization and delivery of capacity-building activities, encompassing all the parties concerned and including commitments to be made by all partners; 14) highlighted the importance of defining security measures which are effective, efficient, operationally viable, economically sustainable, and take into account the impact on passengers; 15) strongly encouraged ICAO Member States to explore with each other mutual recognition arrangements, including one-stop security, which recognize the equivalence of their aviation security measures where these achieve the same outcomes, and which are based on an agreed comprehensive and continuous validation process and effective exchange of information regarding their respective aviation security systems; 16) endorsed as key principles governing international aviation security cooperation: a) respect for the spirit of cooperation defined in bilateral and/or multilateral air services agreements; b) recognition of equivalent security measures;

Middle Year Program Community Service Philosophy
Community service is a key component to the IB MYP curriculum. All students who meet the expectations of 10 experiences will receive a special award at the 8th Grade Awards Ceremony. The service learning program component is available to all Hankey Middle School students. Experiences are defined as any community service project or volunteering experience that consists of at least two-three hours. Students must log these experiences and complete reflections for each event. Students who have met the Hankey service award goal of ten experiences will receive recognition during the 8th Grade Awards Night Ceremony.
What is (and isn't) Community Service?
Community and service is something you do outside of your school day in order to participate in the community and make a contribution to society. These activities can range from something very basic to something more formal.
Community and Service is:
Meaningful service that requires understanding of an underlying issue, and is completed outside of the classroom during your own time.
Some Examples:
Helping at an event, charity or with an organization
Attending/participating in a community event
Helping at a shelter
Working in classrooms
Community and Service is NOT:
Working for your parents/family or doing things at your own house
Work you receive payment for
Work done during the school day
Babysitting your siblings or other immediate family
Are you searching for ideas? Check out this very comprehensive list of service opportunities organized by city.

A pretty table set with vintage china that has special meaning, mixed and mingled with flowers and metallic touches. These are some of the things that speak to me for a Thanksgiving table setting to enjoy with family and friends. Today I'm sharing tips on a simple yet romantic way to do a similar look with your own dinner set and of course...flowers. Let's get started and please scroll down to see how my blog friends have styled their looks in our amazing collection of looks!
Styled & Set Holiday Entertaining Tour
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience and at no extra cost to you. Please see full disclosure here.
My table is rustic and although I love the look for every day, when setting for a holiday I'll often use a tablecloth to easily change the look. This one isn't really a tablecloth though and in my HOW TO CREATE A VEGETABLE CENTERPIECE post I talk about that some more.
I love to create an elegant table setting that is floral based, and for Thanksgiving I brought out my vintage HAMMERED COPPER BOWL and created a low slung floral arrangement with white roses and some additional flowers and greenery. The COPPER bowl is not a tall one, so I had to clip quite a bit from the stems to arrange them into the bowl. I sort of make-do half the time and am definitely N.O.T. a trained florist and simply criss-crossed some painter's tape across the top edge to serve as a flower frog and hold the flowers up. Fill with water and it's ready for arranging.
A TABLE GARLAND is often used in weddings and some of my best floral inspiration comes from studying wedding photos and how they are styled and shot. Since one of my daughters recently became engaged, maybe I'll actually get to put that into practice some day :-))
I've laid out some seeded eucalyptus across the table and around my table focal point arrangement and they mixed in the rest!
Gold glittered candles and pretty glass votives as well as the most LUXURIOUS Italian Lambskin Pumpkins courtesy of PLUSH PUMPKIN. You'll see a few acorns with the same luxe metallic shades of PLATINUM and GOLD mixed in to the setting too.
This beadboard cabinet...it's sort of a farmhouse style and since my own aesthetic is such a mix it somehow seems to work and is filled with some favorite pieces for FALL and THANKSGIVING.
Behind the table is a buffet and since I love pumpkins (just NOT the orange kind:-) I'll be leaving some there informally displayed as a background setting until our Christmas trees go up.
Moscow Mule hammered copper mugs are for drinking and perfect for this time of year in mixing metallics for a warm and cozy look.
I hope that you enjoyed this post and that you visit my friends below for the most beautiful fall inspiration that you've seen! Thank you to Lory of Designthusiasm for putting all of this together.

The event of Ghadir Khumm
|The event of Ghadir Khumm
|Also called
|Eid Al-Ghadeer
|Observed by
|Appointment of Ali as the successor of Muhammad, according to Shia Muslims
|Prayers, gift-giving, festive meals, as well as reciting the Du'a Nudba
|18 Dhu al-Hijjah
|2017 date
|9 September[1][2]
|Part of a series on
|Islamic culture
The event of Ghadir Khumm (Arabic and Persian: واقعه غدیر خم) took place in February 632. It was where, among other things, the Islamic prophet Muhammad announced that "to whomsoever I am Mawla, Ali is also their Mawla." Shia Muslims believe this to be the appointment of Ali as Muhammad's successor. Most Muslims accept the historicity of the event, but not all believe that this constituted an appointment of Ali as the successor to the Prophet, the day's anniversary in the Islamic Calendar (18 Dhu al-Hijjah) is celebrated by Muslims (primarily Shias) as Eid al-Ghadeer.
Farewell pilgrimage[edit]
Ten years after the migration and on the last days of Dhu al-Qi'dah (coinciding with February 632), Muhammad moved from Medina to Mecca accompanied by thousands of his followers, he only once attended Hajj rituals, a few months before he died. Since this Hajj took place in the last year of his life, he made his farewells to people. Ali was in Yemen, preaching Islam, when he was informed about Muhammad's Hajj, so he moved towards Mecca together with some people and joined Muhammad before rituals began. When the rituals of Hajj were finished, Muhammad left Mecca for Medina together with other Muslims.[3][4]
Revelation of the verse of announcement[edit]
On Thursday the 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah (19 March), the Muslims arrived at Ghadir Khumm, the following verse of the Quran was revealed at the historic occasion:
O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief), for Allah guideth not those who reject Faith (5:67).[5]
According to the verse, Muhammad was obliged to proclaim an important message, the verse clearly denotes the importance of the message, by saying that if he does not announce it, then he has not performed his mission. After revelation of the verse, Muhammad ordered the caravan to stop, and ordered those who had passed Ghadir Khumm to return, and for them to wait there until the arrival of those who were still on their way.[6][7] Sunni Muslims, however, believe neither the verse was revealed at Ghadir Khumm nor it was about anyone's appointment as successor, rather it was God's command to Prophet Muhammad to proclaim every message of Islam without fearing anyone.[8]
Ghadir Sermon[edit]
- Works related to The Last Sermon of Muhammad by Shia Accounts at Wikisource
- Works related to The Last Sermon of Muhammad by Sunni Accounts at Wikisource
It was very hot. About one hundred ten thousand people were there. By the order of Muhammad a rostrum of camel saddles was made, after performing the Zuhr prayer, Muhammad made the long speech now known as the Ghadir Sermon (Arabic: خطبة الغدير). He recited numerous verses from the Quran, and reminded the people of their deeds, and warned them about the future. However, he spoke its most well-known sentence when he raised Ali's hand and said, "whomever I am his master, this Ali is his master (Mawla)."[9][10] When Abu Bakr & Umar heard this, they said to Ali: "O son of Abu Talib, you have become the master of every male and every female believer, morning and evening, congratulations." [11][12][13]
Revelation of the verse of Ikmal al-Din[edit]
According to Shia scholar Sheikh Abdul Hosein Amini's work Al-Ghadir, immediately after Muhammad had finished his speech, the following verse of the Quran was revealed:[14][15][16]
This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me, this day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion (5:3).
Sunni Muslims believe this verse was revealed during the Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet Muhammad on the Day of Arafah, the ninth day of Dhul Hijja.[17]
Oath of allegiance[edit]
Only then, Muhammad left the rostrum, and gave the order for the establishment of a tent in which Ali would sit to receive the allegiance oath of Muslims. Thousands of people, group by group, including women, went to him and saluted and congratulated him as Amir al-Mu'minin, commander of the faithful. Umar ibn Al-Khattab was the first to offer congratulations.[3][18][19]
Narrators of the event[edit]
The event of Ghadir Khumm has been revealed in both Shia and Sunni sources. However, Sunnis disagree with the Shia interpretation of this Hadith. Narrators of the Hadith of Ghadir Khum are many, including:
- Ahl al-Bayt: Ali, Fatimah, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali[citation needed]
- 110 Sahabah (companions) of Muhammad: Umar,[20] Uthman, Aisha,[21] Abu Hurairah,[22] Abu Dhar al-Ghifari,[citation needed] Salman the Persian,[23] Ammar ibn Yasir,[citation needed] Zubayr ibn al-Awam,[24] Jabir ibn Abd Allah,[25] and others, who were all present at Ghadir Khum and narrated the event directly.
- 83 of the Tabi'un (followers): Salim ibn Abd-Allah, Umar II, Tawus ibn Kaysan, and etc.
- 360 Sunni scholars of 2nd to 4th century AH: Abū ʿAbdullāh Muhammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfīʿī (the founder of the Shafi'i school), Ahmad ibn Hanbal (the founder of the Hanbali school), Al-Nasa'i, Ibn al-Maghazili, Ahmad ibn Abd Allah, and Ahmad ibn Abd Rabbih.
- Shia Hadith scholars: Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni, Ibn Babawayh, Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid, Sharif al-Murtaza, and etc.
This Hadith is considered to be Hasan by many scholars, and some consider it Sahih. Furthermore, all Shia Hadith scholars, and some great Sunni scholars, consider this Hadith to be Mutawatir. Shia scholar Sheikh Abdul Hosein Amini collected all the references for the event of Ghadir Khum from Sunni sources and issued them together with all other reasons for this event in eleven volumes in of his book Al-Ghadir.[19]
Eid al-Ghadeer[edit]
Shias celebrate the occasion of Muhammad appointing Ali as his successor.[26] Fasting, doing Ghusl (ritual bath), reciting the Du'a Nudba and giving food to believers is among recommended practice of Eid al-Ghadeer. It is a public holiday in Telangana, India.
After the death of Muhammad, a gathering at Saqifah elected Abu Bakr, rather than Ali, to be the successor of Muhammad as the first Rashidun Caliph, this choice was disputed by some Muslims, who believed that Ali had been appointed as successor. This dispute led to the schism between Sunnis and Shias.

I would like to thank the staff of Travel Center UK for providing me with a flight at a very competetive price, at fairly short notice during the peak holiday period. The agent I dealt with was very helpful and re-assuring. All the information he gave me regarding payment, baggage details, flight times etc etc was accurate and I had a comfortable and safe flight. Only one problem was when I called to re-confirm my flight, which is a recommended procedure 72 hours prior to departure, I had some trouble communicating with a different member of staff. In the end it worked out fine but for a while we had trouble understanding each other.
I can recommend Travel Center UK but suggest that you also take time to double-check all your flight details.

Ratings for Dr. Robert Penning
Dr penning always has different staff. Every time I do in there somone new? I'm Not sure why he can't keep His staff around.... office is clean, and nice. But I just find it odd always seeing new faces.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
This review has an odd feel and the numbers don't match the review comments?. But here goes. Woodbridge is a new and growing office. It is easier to attract and keep staff with full-time hours. I have been approached by other doctors in the area who have the the same problem. My main office has staff with all but one over 5 years with us. Even then, maternity leave can change who you meet on some visits. My one suggestion is that you take the time to get to know our staff when you come in, it makes everyone feel more welcome.

Dr. P and his wonderful team have taken great care of me and my family. Wish I could go to a medical office like this!
Dr. Robert Penning's response
Thanks so much! We do our best!
Submitted March 20, 2017
Thank you Dr.Penning. Yesterday my mouth seemed ok. Today? Yikes! A cracked tooth with a possible abscess. And on a beautiful, sunny, warm, Sunday of all times for this to happen. The pain!. So I didn't know if I should go to the hospital emergency or some clinic. I happened to go online and found Dr Penning's office number and on the site was his personal emergency contact number. But on a Sunday? So when I called the number, I actually got in touch with Dr. Penning. He asked me my problem and said he could not give any sort of diagnosis over the phone and asked me to meet him at his Schomberg office immediately. Really? I asked. On a Sunday? So off I went to his office. He met me there with an assistant. Together they did a fantastic job on my tooth, restoring it with a temporary filling, and instructed me to return once the tooth settled down after the use of prescribed antibiotics. So, Dr. Penning and Deb, the assistant, thank you very much for giving up part of your Sunday and taking care of my terrible tooth ache. Service like this is rare and I genuinely appreciate your thoughtful consideration. A job well-done. Thank you very much.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
No problem-you were in obvious pain-see you next week!
Submitted April 27, 2017
I know a few people that have went to Dr P including myself seemed like a nice guy and staff too. However when I called back about a major concern that I was having after some work done receptionist said he would get back to me however that never happened but did get a friendly card for a reminder check up. Also as I said earlier had two other friends do some work there and one of them has had some constant pain issues maybe im not the only unlucky guy?? I will not bash anyone online but I can assure you my problem was quite serious regardless of other peoples comments and that is very disturbing to me that I never even got a call since after explaining I had a serious problem and needed to go elsewhere to resolve it
Dr. Robert Penning's response
Oh my! Don't like hearing about people falling in the cracks. My front-line telephone staff is trained as follows: I cannot diagnose problems over the telephone and that, unless someone has made threats or were overly rude, the reasonable course of action is to make an appointment. As we all live busy lives, I can answer questions by email in some cases. If I am away such as the last two weeks, another dentist in the practice will see them. Finally, as I take very seriously the potential for pain in my patients so both my home and personal cellphone numbers are on our answering service.
Submitted April 17, 2016
An unbelievably amazing dentist! Will make you want to come back to that office often.. Not that I'd have tons of problems in my mouth but just the staff is so accommodating and friendly on top of Dr. Penning being at his best all the time.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
Thank for taking the time to post this - always nice to her positive feedback!
Submitted April 17, 2016
I couldn't be more greatful for an amazing dentist he cares so much about his patients, I have been with him for 8 years and wouldn't go anywhere else even when he left barrie we followed him he is extremely helpful great sense of humour and it's a very calming environment. His prices are great and when you are stuck he helps you out I highly recommend him and his staff and truly caring about people thank you Dr Penning for all you do for my family
It has been 10 years since Dr. P helped change my life and I wanted to give him and his staff a big shout-out. My teeth were hideous and I never smiled. The day it all changed seems like yesterday it is so clear. I have since moved and my dentist and hygienist still comment on them.
Worst dentist ever, brings his dog into a sterile office. Office staff not helpful. Previous dentist on staff was very good.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
Interesting but nonsensical...review occurred 24 hours after practice was sold. I (Dr. Penning) was the first/founding dentist of the practice therefore no 'previous dentist'. A dog did therapeutic visits for phobic patients. A review with an agenda though hard to figure out except to be totally negative...???
Submitted November 3, 2015
Like other posters on here, Dr. Penning is great but I think the prices are steep compared to other availble dental offices in Barrie. The other dental offices I've been to are just as friendly and the price is even better. For a check up and a cleaning $325 seems to be a little too much for me and I can't really afford that. Oh, and they charge a fee if you ever need to cancel at the last minute ($75.00). I was never charged a cancellation fee anywhere else, so it seems to me, other dental offices are more understanding about special circumstances.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
You are correct, $325 is not normal for a checkup and a cleaning. Sounds like we should have given you more information before booking - a more thorough Comprehensive Exam is about 80 minutes while a checkup is 3-7 minutes, depending. The number of x-rays will vary as will the time needed to do a proper cleaning. A full exam, basic x-rays and one hour of cleaning does add up to around 325. As for the cancellation fee, we strive to get you in and out on time and use the fee to help keep our schedule exact, not to help our revenue.
Submitted November 3, 2015
Had a missing front tooth, major decay and disintegration that my previous dentist of 10 years was at a loss to know where to even begin treating. Dr. Penning was recommended to me by a friend who told me he would be able to take care of my tooth issues. Dr. Penning examined me and set up a plan of action within a couple of days. He removed the decay,restored my missing front tooth and had my mouth looking better than ever in three visits. If you are looking for a positive dental experience, I could not recommend anyone more highly than this dentist.
Dr. Robert Penning's response
Glad you are happy - it is hard to feel like moving forward when you don't feel like you can open your mouth in public. Reactions like yours are so rewarding - Thanks!

What if walking, jogging or biking around your neighborhood did more good than just getting you into shape? What if exercising also helped you raise money for your favorite charity? Downloading the Charity Miles app, which is available in the App Store and on Google Play and is sponsored by companies like Timex Sports, Humana and Lifeway Foods, can help you do just that. When you launch the app, choose a charity you want to help, then press start. As you exercise, the app tracks your distance and the money you've earned. For every mile you walk or run, you'll earn 25 cents; for every mile you bike, you'll earn 10 cents. After you're done with your workout and accept your sponsorship, the app will send you a note to confirm your good work. Charity Miles believes actions speak louder than words, and it wants you to tell your story through those actions. So next time you decide to head out for a jog, remember to check into Charity Miles first.
