Over the years, Ian Purdy has carved a giant lion, the head of Homer Simpson and a variety of other unique snowmen.
This winter, he went with a more Norse theme, building a nine-foot tall Viking in his front yard.
"When I went out there, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do," Purdy admitted Tuesday.
"I thought I'd make myself a big, gladiator-type guy. Then I thought, 'a Viking, that'd be cool.' "
With that in mind, and knowing it would take a lot of snow to bring his giant warrior to life, he waited for the first good dump of snow to start construction, which came in late December.
"It was mild, and you need the snow to stick," he said.
But he spent a month collecting enough snow to do the job. He shoveled his driveway two or three times, cleared snow from the street in front of his house, and even took from his neighbours.
"To build a pile that big, I'm almost 59 years old. It wears me good," he said.
Then he began creating the Viking, putting in time on weekends or between jobs. Purdy is a self-employed electrician.
A neighbour figures Purdy spent more than 10 hours building the Viking — a hulking figure bent down on one knee. A leg and boot are exposed, and a cloak, helmet and beard are clearly visible.
"The detail is the difficult part. That's what takes the time," he said.
Purdy didn't sculpt a sword, saying something like that wouldn't last. He planned to make a weapon out of Styrofoam and stick it in one hand.
Connie Miller lives across the street and enjoys watching Purdy build his creations. She said he works mostly at night, so there is something new to see every morning.
"It's absolutely phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoy it," she said.
With temperatures expected to rise to 6 C by the end of the week, Purdy is worried the Viking won't last long. He's always sorry to see one of his creations melt away.
But he intends to keep at it, saying he likes building something new almost every winter.
"I'm an artist by heart," he said.
Miller said Purdy's talent shines through with every snowman.
"He's the only reason I like lots of snow," she said.

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, December 14, 2012.
Active weather continues for the West on Friday, while the East remains mild and dry. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front moving across the Desert Southwest will produce more rain and mountain snow showers on Friday. Precipitation in Arizona will diminish into the afternoon, but heavy rain and snow will persist across New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah throughout the day. Snowfall accumulations in northern Arizona and northern New Mexico will range from 4 to 8 inches, with up to 12 inches likely above 7,000 feet. Just to the north in southwestern Colorado expect 5 to 9 inches of new snow, with over a foot at highest mountain peaks. Southern Utah may see up to 16 inches of snow at the south facing slopes, while most of the area will see 3 to 5 inches of snow.
Meanwhile, in the East, a ridge of high pressure remains the dominant weather feature, maintaining dry conditions across the Eastern Valleys and East Coast. To the North, a frontal boundary lingers over the Great Lakes, producing a few more scattered snow showers throughout the day. The back side of this system will continue pulling cooler air in from Canada, allowing for highs to remain in the 30s for the Upper Midwest and in the 20s across the Northern Plains.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Friday have ranged from a morning low of 1 degrees at Princeton, Minn. to a high of 73 degrees at Stuart, Fla.

Lehtonen Garners CCSA Swimmer of the Week Honor
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU senior Eva Lehtonen (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams HS/Florida) has been named Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Swimmer of the Week, announced by the league Wednesday.
The Eagles had eight first-place finishes in the tri-meet against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech and Lehtonen accounted for half of them. Lethonen won all of her events as the Eagles defeated Georgia Tech, 169-131 and fell to Virginia Tech, 175-125. She placed first in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:50.77. Lehtonen also placed first in the 200-yard fly, finishing in 2:04.26, and won the 500-yard freestyle event with a time of 5:02.88. She also swam her leg of the winning 200-yard relay in 23.20.
The Eagles will be back in action Friday, Nov. 30 – Sunday, Dec. 2 when they travel to Atlanta, Ga. to compete in the three-day Georgia Tech Invitational.

Dear Tom/The World of Who
My own opinion - and it is only an opinion - is that Moffat has done a genius thing. In the ""Day of the Doctor", we are certainly left with the prospect that Tom is still the Doctor, albeit slightly older but somehow a future body of the past. Anyhow, "Time of the Doctor" shows that the Doctor can age within his own timestream. Of course, all Doctors' timestreams finish when they regenerate. These are the current rules but anything is possible in Who! I don't see the fuss over the new regeneration cycle - it was offered to The Master in "The Five Doctors". Gallifrey still exists, so it all seems logical that the Timelords intervened, from wherever, through the Crack in Time (created by 12 Drs averting the Time war and hiding Gallifrey) .......which it seems that was caused by the Time War/Doctor intervention in the first place! For Tom still to be our Doctor, it requires that he left via the Watcher - into a parallel universe, as Jon's Doctor did briefly. But Tom's Doctor was stuck, getting older, and suddenly got the chance to nip back through the crack in time (caused by the Timelord kerfuffle) to talk to one of his previous selves. It all makes perfect sense. But WHO KNOWS?
Tom - I am just one of millions who had to wipe away the odd tear when your voice came booming through in that episode.....and then you appeared. A fitting end to a wonderfully written script.
Best wishes,
PS Still haven't got over the ciggie problem!!!

It's a sound designer's eternal dream: to be involved in a production from the very beginning. Of course, it doesn't often happen that way, even for the industry's top designers. That's right, even guys like François Bergeron, the 14-year veteran sound designer for Cirque du Soleil, don't always get in on the early stages; there have been many Cirque shows where his involvement came late in the game. So it came as welcome relief to Bergeron when he was brought on board early for Cirque's latest touring show, Varekai.
"Because I was involved with the show from the beginning, I was able to fully integrate the audio elements into the overall concept and into the set," he says. "The sound basically reinforces the set design, with the power emanating from the center above the stage. I think this is definitely one of the best-sounding Cirque tours yet."
Varekai, which means "wherever" in the ancient Romany language of the Gypsies, tells the story of Icarus who, after falling from the sky into a forest populated by magical creatures, is pulled into a series of fantastic adventures while seeking help to return home. All the action takes place inside a portable 50m-long (165') tent with a seating capacity of over 2,600.
According to Bergeron, the tent's flexible PVC skin, when stretched taut, presents a surprisingly hard acoustical surface and is highly reflective at problematic frequencies. "It's really quite reverberant, especially when empty," he says. "For example, at 1kHz we measured a reverb time of about 5.4 seconds. So you have to be careful with your coverage and alignment of speakers."
To supply the needed power from above the stage while avoiding destructive reflections, Bergeron devised a system comprising three center clusters and an outer delay ring. The two outside clusters, each with a pair of Meyer Sound CQ-1 wide coverage main loudspeakers, flank the middle cluster of three CQ-2 narrow coverage main loudspeakers. While these clusters anchor the sound high above the stage, supplemental reinforcement is supplied by the delay ring of 10 UPA-1P compact wide coverage loudspeakers. Deep bass power, which for both logistical and artistic reasons also had to come from above, is provided by four PSW-2 high-power flyable subwoofers that are hoisted up in the cupola.
"We chose the Meyer line of speakers for this show first because of the precise control," comments Bergeron, "but also because we have been touring for years with Meyer self-powered speakers and they are very reliable. Having the amplifiers inside the box eliminates many of the places where things can go wrong in the audio chain."
Bergeron states that the tight confines of the tent were also a point in favor of the powered systems. "We save space with them. We literally did not have any backstage space for amplifier racks."
The demands of Varekai quickly put the system to a grueling test. "This is definitely one of the most audio-oriented shows," says Bergeron, "with wall-to-wall music and sound effects." Live music comes from a band of six multi-instrumentalists and two vocalists, with sound effects mixed in from a variety of RAM- and disc-based digital replay units. In all, the production fully occupies the inputs of a 56-input Soundcraft console plus two Yamaha O1V submixers.
The day-to-day operation of show audio is under the supervision of Pitsch Karrer, a certified SIM engineer with a background of mixing European tours of Broadway productions. On his first Cirque tour, Karrer reports that the show's sound is helping draw sell-out crowds. "The audiences seem very appreciative of the sound," he says, "and they respond very well to some of the scenes where we have created images with sound, and where we use surround effects to expand the size and impact of the music."
Bergeron credits the success of the show's sound to the touring crew — Karrer along with Thomas Duchaine and Stein Guitton — and strong support from Daniel Petit at Cirque du Soleil's technical department in Montreal.
"They have been great from the outset," he says. "They took over all the technical details so I could concentrate on creating the ambiance, and on working with the composer to glue the whole show together with effects and soundscapes. With their help, I think we've moved to a higher level on sound with Varekai."
The rest of the design team for Varekai includes set designer Stephane Roy, costume designer Eiko Ishioka, projection designer Francis Laporte, and rigging designer Jaque Paquin. Upcoming stops for the tour include San Jose, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago.

Leopard Legs
I'm having a bit of a Leopard Craze,
these tights are Roberto Cavalli for H&M but H&M has some recent leopard tights in stores right now too as wel as a slightly fuzzy Leopard hat that I saw there today, and yes, I'm so going for it, you will see me running back to the H&M tomorrow :)
LFstores has some real crazy leopard platform wedges similar to the Ashish for topshop wedge, hmmmmm delicious but I already found some other leopard wedges on Ebay :) and talking about the LFstores... LF Soho (149 Spring Street New York, NY 10012) 212.966.5889 was able to track down the Jeffrey Campbell "pixie" and the "tick" bootie in my size!!! So if anyone else is still lusting after them I would give them a call :)
The leather skirt is H&M divided exclusive (last year) and the top is H&M too, the studded booties are loub knock off's from ioffer.com

ioffer is all knock off's, a lot is fake leather, and has other sloppy knock off traces, with these studded booties its not to noticeable because of the "oomph" effect the studs give, you can negotiate on the prices but overall it is a bit shady but good for if you really want to go for a certain knock off

Google chairman to sell up to 3.2 million shares
(AP) - Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt plans to sell more than 40 percent of his stock in the Internet search leader this year.
The plan disclosed Friday calls for Schmidt to sell up to 3.2 million shares. If he were to sell all that stock at Google's current price, Schmidt would realize a $2.5 billion windfall.
Schmidt ended December with 7.6 million Google shares, or a 2.3 percent stake in the Mountain View, Calif., company.
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the only company executives who own more stock than Schmidt. Page controls an 8.7 percent stake and Brin holds an 8.5 percent stake.
The 57-year-old Schmidt was Google's CEO for a decade before turning over the job to Page in April 2011.

Ken Key, founder of Missions Unlimited, said the group is reaching out to a ministry in Brooklyn, N.Y., and is expecting to partner with the Salvation Army's disaster relief efforts in New Jersey.
"This is what we do," Key said. "When things happen, we want to be there to help. We helped during Katrina. We helped during the Japan tsunami, and we helped when tornadoes hit here at home."
Key said Missions Unlimited is involved with a network of relief organizations around the world.
"One of our groups contacted me today about helping a ministry in Brooklyn," he said. "They reach out to children, and they have some specific needs that we can help with."
Key said representatives with Brooklyn-based Metro Ministries told him that drinking water is a high priority because bottled water is scarce in the New York area. He said Missions Unlimited is preparing to send drinking water, children's sleeping bags and blankets to help the ministry.
Metro Ministries holds sidewalk Sunday school programs in low-income areas of New York's five boroughs on weekdays and reaches around 20,000 children each week.
Metro Ministries is currently putting together bags with groceries, water or soft drinks and blankets to give out in the areas they serve that are without power due to storm damage.
Charles Harper, operations manager for Missions Unlimited, said he has spent the last several days packing sleeping bags to be sent to storm victims.
"We had an anonymous donation of 1,000 children's sleeping bags," Harper said. "They have cartoon characters on them. A lot of these children that have been affected by the storm have suffered a lot. Something like this will help keep them warm and pick up their spirits."
Harper said he expected another 1,000 sleeping bags to be donated next week.
"This is a private company that didn't want any kind of publicity," Harper said. "They just wanted to help people."

Birth Place: London, England, GB
David Robert Joseph Beckham was born in Leytonstone, London, U.K. on May 2, 1975, to Sandra and Ted Beckham, a hairdresser and appliance repairman, respectively. His parents, diehard devotees of perennial British soccer power Manchester United, encouraged the boy's emerging football skills from an early age. Young David played with his neighborhood club, the Ridgeway Rovers, honing his skills at the Tottenham Hotspur Academy and for three summers attended Manchester's Bobby Charlton Soccer School. At age 11, he won the camp's national skills competition, earning the attention of pro scouts. Beckham saw all his dedication pay off when, in 1991, Man U chose him to join its youth team, where he... Continue Bio >>

David Beckham 19 August is World Humanitarian Day, a day to honour #HumanitarianHeroes who have lost their lives, and those who continue to serve in dangerous conditions and at great risk to themselves. I've met amazing UNICEF staff in countries as far reaching as the Philippines, Sierra Leone and South Africa who work day in day out to tirelessly save the lives of thousands of children. One area where humanitarians are going the extra mile is in #SouthSudan, where 50,000 children could die from severe malnutrition by the year's end. They are doing whatever it takes to bring these children food and medical care, even in the most remote areas. Last month, humanitarian workers were killed by armed fighters doing just this. I am amazed by their courage and they need our support so they can reach these children with urgent treatment, to help ensure that they can recover and thrive. You can help UNICEF save children's lives in #SouthSudanNOW! Here's how: http://uni.cf/helpsouthsudan

BES 10 doesn't offer all the device management components for Android and iOS devices that it does for its own BlackBerry devices, analysts have noted, due to different capabilities in those other devices. Also, despite its reputation for network security, BlackBerry hit a turning point in trust for many users two years ago when much of the BlackBerry network went down for several days on nearly every continent.
Even with the BES deficiencies, most analysts believe BlackBerry's biggest problem was failing to keep up with consumer-grade advances seen on Apple's iPhone and on various Android devices. The Apple and Android device can also be managed with MDM tools at work.
For all the second quarter, BlackBerry sold just 5.9 million smartphones, the company said today. Meanwhile, Apple on Monday reported that 9 million iPhones were sold in just three days after the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c went on sale last Friday.
"BlackBerry totally whiffed on the smartphone and consumerization of IT trends that Apple hit out of the park and that Android successfully has exploited," Gartner's Menezes said. "BlackBerry failed to make timely moves and product introductions to keep itself in the consideration set for consumers who in the age of BYOD increasingly are shaping enterprise device and platform choices. ... Once it became clear to IT that iOS was a viable choice, it was game over for BlackBerry," Menezes concluded.
Gartner's three recommendations for Blackberry alternatives do include an upgrade to BlackBerry 10 devices for executives who want a physical keyboard or those in high-security jobs. But Menezes said even that scenario recommends that a company begin support of other smartphone platforms, either smartphones purchased for workers or those under an employee-purchased BYOD program.

The hunt for Andre Iguodala will likely be one of the most spirited of the 2013 free agency period because there seems to be a strong market for the small forward already in development. The Detroit Pistons, the Sacramento Kings and his Denver Nuggets are all in pursuit of the 29-year-old. SB Nation's Tom Ziller ranked Iguodala as the fourth-best free agent on the market.
The Nuggets seem like an obvious choice, considering he just played for them this past season. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that Iguodala has already met with new head coach Brian Shaw and GM Tim Connelly in Los Angeles, as they try to convince him to return on a lucrative multi-year deal.
As noted when Iguodala opted out of the final year of his contract, Denver actually serves as somewhat of an ideal location for Iguodala: he wants to play for a contender where he wouldn't be counted on as a No. 1 scorer. The Nuggets are a young team that just managed to finish third in the Western Conference, but couldn't keep it up in the postseason after injuries. They allowed Iguodala to contribute in the way which fits him best: as an elite defensive talent with the ability to contribute offensively as he pleases, allowing him to finish tied for third on the team with 13.0 points per game and second with 5.4 assists. The reason he opted out was for long-term financial stability rather than lack of fit.
It's not like Iguodala has a huge connection to Denver, however -- he only spent one year there after the Dwight Howard trade -- and they don't have a huge financial advantage on the other teams wooing him. Since Iguodala opted out of his $16.1 million deal for next year, the Nuggets have $19 million to spend. The 29-year-old might not be demanding that much as he looks for a long-term deal, but either way the new brain trust in Denver has a bit of convincing to do.
Next up are the Sacramento Kings. Wojnarowski reports Iguodala has already met with new Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, new GM Pete D'Alessandro and new coach Mike Malone. Sacramento is in a bit of an interesting situation: the Pelicans were initially believed to be key suitors of Iguodala's, as they set out to pair him with new acquisition and former teammate Jrue Holiday, but their financial flexibility will take a hit if they sign Tyreke Evans to a 4-year, $44 million offer sheet as reported. Sacramento could still match that deal, but that would take them out of the running for Iguodala.
Essentially, one team will have Tyreke Evans and won't have the cap to sign Iguodala, but the other will be forcing him into a leading scorer role that he's said he isn't interested in.
Last but not least are the Detroit Pistons, as Iguodala is set to meet with GM Joe Dumars. The Pistons have the cap space to sign Iguodala and now we know they also have the desire. Detroit's dealing with Josh Smith as well, however, and won't be able to bring in both.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC) -- The Minnesota House has defeated an $800 million construction projects bill-- a bill that included funding for Mayo Civic Center here in Rochester-- because the bill failed to get a super-majority needed to win approval.
The bill is a rare area where Republican held veto power. Because it involves long-term state debt, it required 81 votes to pass. It got 76 votes on Friday when three Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting.
Democratic Rep. Alice Hausman, the bill's sponsor, says with time running short on session there may not be another attempt. But nothing is truly out of play until the final gavel falls on Monday.
The state Capitol renovation project was the largest in the bill, consuming $109 million. Those overseeing the building work say the money is needed this year to avoid costly delays.

JEANIE MILEY: Modern pressures, messages call for discernment
SAN ANGELO, Texas - At the end of a busy day last week, I needed to listen to the walls breathe.
My need for quiet had been building all through the day because everywhere I went seemed noisier than the last place. Bombarded by stimuli — loud noises, too many voices talking at the same time, advertisements, traffic — I remembered that my grandmother used to say that she needed to "collect herself," a term I hadn't thought of in decades.
Sitting still, I wanted to collect myself and recover from the craziness of the day's routine. Nothing unusual had happened to me and nothing had upset me, but I was weary from processing the many voices and images that had come at me at a constant rate through the day.
"I need discernment!" I said, aloud, "and I need lots of it!"
I need discernment in big doses in order to tell the difference between the multiple facts and fictions bombarding the airwaves.
How, I wondered, can I differentiate between talking points and truth? How do I know the difference between what is real and what is fantasy when both are communicated with such seeming conviction? Whose narrative or story line am I going to believe and follow?
Is what I am hearing authentic and true information or is it a marketing ploy to get my dollar or my vote? What do I need to do my own reality testing? What means do I have to discern what is honest when I have no way of keeping "them" honest?
How do I ferret out fact from fabrication when the means of delivering either one is so sophisticated and smooth? How do I know which messenger to believe and which message to follow? How do I make good decisions when there is so much information and so many competing ideas? How do I discern what is propaganda and what is the truth?
It's no easy thing being human in today's world of constant communication and seemingly unceasing, unrelenting messaging, is it?
So it was that I became convinced that if there is anything I need to stay calm and centered in the world of message and manipulation, it is discernment. I'm going to need it in big doses because there is a lot of stuff I need to understand in order to make wise decisions.
In this complicated world, it's easier to slip into a habit of being judgmental, quickly assigning "good" or "bad," "I like it/I don't like it" and "right" or "wrong" to things based simply on my knee-jerk reactions, my personal preferences or my comfort level.
It is possible to make judgments quickly and spontaneously, but discernment takes time.
Discernment requires you to reflect on things, pondering them and turning them over until you can see more clearly the various factors that impinge on each other. Discernment often asks that you consider an issue from more than one angle. Sometimes it even asks that you turn an issue upside down and then back again, just to make sure you haven't neglected some vital point in the decision-making process.
Discernment means you have to sift and sort through various aspects of things in order to decide what is wheat and what is chaff, what is truth and what is fiction, what is the wise way to go and what is the foolish way.
Discernment and wisdom grow together, braided like a good, strong rope that holds things firmly. While there are final judgments, discernment seems open-ended. It allows for change and permits new information.
Judgment is about locking things up and tying things down.
In this complicated world, I have enough judgment; I need more discernment.
Discernment keeps things open; discernment keeps us free.

The city of Atlanta faced an emergency vote on Wednesday to save $100 million in tax collections.If governments in Atlanta and more than a dozen other counties across Georgia are unable to keep their sales tax dollars, officials say there is a good chance property taxes will go up for thousands of citizens.Those governments use sales tax to help fund public safety. Seventeen counties in Georgia, including Fulton County, were unable to agree on how to share the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) revenues.Until now, governments went to arbitration to split the sales tax pie. A court recently ruled that an arbitrator can no longer be used. Atlanta currently receives about $100 million from the fund annually. East Point nets $10.3 million, while Alpharetta gets just more than $12 million.A letter obtained by FOX 5 directs governments to take immediate action through a formal vote that permits a legislative body from losing the LOST funds. The Georgia Revenue Commissioner distributes that money in Atlanta, Fulton County and throughout Georgia. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed told the City Council that he needed approval to make a demand in the form of a certificate. That demand must be made by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
The City Council took the mayor's advice and gave him the authority to seek Atlanta's portion of the proceeds.

Daniel Bannister jailed for manslaughter of YMCA neighbour Rajendra Patel
2:10pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By Hannah Williamson, Chief Reporter
A 37-year-old man has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for the manslaughter of his neighbour who died three weeks after he was assaulted at the YMCA.
Rajendra Patel, 48, died 15 days after he was attacked by Daniel Bannister at the hostel in Lansdowne Road, Croydon, on February 21.
The 48-year-old was taken to hospital where he was treated for bruising and swelling to the left side of his face, a broken nose and a fractured ankle.
Three weeks later he died of a pulmonary thromboembolism, due to deep venous thrombosis of the left femoral vein due to a recent fracture of his left ankle, which was treated with a plaster cast.
Bannister was due to stand trial this week accused of Mr Patel's murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter, which was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service this morning.

DALLAS (AP) — Downsize Fitness is an exclusive health club, evocative of the nation's trendiest gyms. But there's a strict requirement to join: You must be 50 pounds or more overweight.
The chain wants its members to feel comfortable while exercising, so there are no mirrors inside and the windows are fogged. Even the equipment is designed for heavier people.
Chicago entrepreneur Francis Wisnewski says he started the gym because "I've been overweight my whole life, and I was embarrassed to go to the gym myself."
If you are overweight, and looking to lose weight, would you go to this gym? Post your comments on our FOX 5 Atlanta Facebook page, or tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta.
The first locations opened in Chicago and Las Vegas in 2011, and expanded to Dallas in 2012.
Gym member Janie Busch said she likes the supportive atmosphere.
Krisanne Hale, a personal trainer in Dallas, is still trying to lose weight. She says that helps members relate.

Council admits fault and switches off bus lane camera (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

After issueing 6,200 tickets worth £400k, Waltham Forest Council plans to remove the controversial camera
Updated 4:02pm Friday 7th March 2014 in News By Natalie Glanvill, Reporter - Waltham Forest
A controversial new CCTV camera has been switched off after Waltham Forest Council admitted it was faulty.
Thousands of tickets worth £400,000 had been issued by the council to hundreds of motorists after the 24 hour bus lane camera was installed near the traffic lights on the Green Man rounabout.
In less than a month, 6,200 tickets had been issued, with many people receiving multiple fines each costing £65.
In light of the controversy regarding the lack of clear signage for the camera, it has been switched off and will shortly be removed for good.
The sign warning of the camera ahead was not placed in the correct position, a sign detailing its hours of operation was sprayed over and the bus lane 'end' sign was not in line with the road markings.
In a statement released today, a spokeswoman for the council said:
"We understand that the static camera and sudden enforcement of the bus lane has created confusion for motorists and as soon as this came to light, we switched the camera off and stopped any further fixed penalty notices being issued.
"On investigation it has become apparent that the correct internal processes were not followed when the camera was erected and we appreciate that clearer signage should have been in place to warn motorists, especially since this bus lane is unlike most others in that it is effective 24 hours a day.
"We are taking appropriate action to rectify the situation including taking the camera down."
The camera was switched off last week and will be removed in the coming days.
Wood Street Post Office owner Aman Sadana, 23, appealed his three tickets on Friday.
"This is fantastic, " he said. "The camera shouldn't have been there from the start. They've finally woken up and smelt the coffee as to who was at fault and I look forward now to finding out their response to my appeal."
Another motorist to appeal his fine is John Davey from Leytonstone.
The 67 year-old, of Chadwick Road, said the result was "brilliant", but is now calling on the council to refund the many people who paid the fines.
"They've admitted taking lots of money from people when they shouldn't have and what about these poor devils that have paid the £65 fine?
"Will they be refunded? It is fantastic news but for many already hit, it is too late."
The Guardian has asked the council if it plans to refund the fines.

It looks to me as though this Bus Lane has been non-compliant with regulations since it was set up in 2006.
LBWF have made some changes but when I looked on Tuesday 4th March it still had some way to go to comply with Department for Transport rules and guidelines.
I would love to speak to the Council spokeswoman and help her word her statements.
The Bus Lane is illegal and non-compliant with regulations. The Traffic Order relating to the Bus Lane needs amending and the public need to be notified. The signs and road markings need to be made compliant.
If I can interpret the regulations and guidelines and tell them what is wrong then why can't their Highways professionals get it right? They are supposed to be the experts!

Looks like they are going to do this somewhere else to gain money, LBWF are out to literally rape the motorist of money for this, especially now they have to refund tickets.
To make matters worst that camera is so small and very non standard.

Are there any professional people employed by Waltham Forest council? by that I mean people who know the right thing to do. Perhaps the local Guardian paper might employ staff who can spell the word `issuing`.
As for the Guardian spelling, it would appear their computers do not have the software that has auto checker/replace, as do all computers. The writers should use a manual spell check to be on the safe side. It's carelessness, but frankly, I couldn't care less anymore.

Executive Summary
It's both ironic and unfortunate: Across organizations, decision makers are swimming in information, yet they still struggle to really "know" their business. They cannot access relevant data easily, navigate it quickly, organize it meaningfully, or make decisions with any degree of certainty. At SAP, we believe business analytics should enable everyone within an organization to achieve remarkable results. How? By enabling users to know every aspect of their business ? relative to them; by enabling decisions to be made with confidence - balancing risk and opportunity; and by enabling users to act boldly - responding to events as they unfold, taking coordinated action, and learning and improving over time.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee will welcome former Vol and winner of the 2012 National League Cy Young Award R.A. Dickey back to Rocky Top on Saturday when he will be honored on the field at the UT-Kentucky football game.
Dickey will be recognized for his remarkable achievements this season during the second timeout of the first quarter.
The first knuckleballer to ever win a Cy Young Award, Dickey finished the season with 20-6 record and 2.73 ERA, while leading the National League in strikeouts (230), innings pitched (233.2), complete games (five), shutouts (three) and quality starts (27).
His ERA was second in the league to only the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (2.53) and he trailed only Gio Gonzalez of the Washington Nationals in wins (21).
With fellow Nashville native and SEC product David Price (Vanderbilt) winning the AL Cy Young Award this year, there have now been four former SEC pitchers to claim the honors. Dickey and Price join Arkansas' Cliff Lee (AL – 2008) and Brandon Webb of Kentucky (NL – 2006) as Cy Young winners.
Dickey, who was coached by current UT head coach Dave Serrano and assistant coach Bill Mosiello during his time as a Vol, joined Ben Cantwell (1933) and Tommy Bridges (1934-36) as the only Tennessee players to win 20 games in the Major Leagues earlier this year.
The third-oldest player in MLB history to record 20 wins in a season, Dickey is also the first knuckleball pitcher to hit the threshold since Joe Niekro went 20-12 in 1980 with the Houston Astros.
During the same week in which he claimed the Cy Young Award, Dickey was also presented with the 2012 Branch Rickey Award by AMG National Trust Bank in Denver.
That award honors individuals in baseball who contribute unselfishly to their communities and who are strong role models for young people.
Dickey, who was inducted into the Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame in January, is the only three-time First Team All-American in Tennessee baseball history earning the honors each year from 1994-96.
He was also a two-time first team All-SEC selection and an academic All-American following his junior year. In addition, he was a member of the bronze-medal winning 1996 Team USA Olympic team in Atlanta.
During his time at Rocky Top, the Nashville native wrote his name in the UT record book as the career leader in wins, appearances, games started, innings pitched and strikeouts.
Dickey also holds the school single-season records for wins and innings pitched and ranks third for strikeouts.

- Studio: Focus Features
- Release Date: Oct 19, 2007
- Starring: Jennifer Connelly, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo
- Summary: Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name by John Burnham Schwartz, this is a compelling new dramatic thriller. A tale of anger, revenge, and great courage, the film follows two fathers as their families and lives converge. On a warm September evening, college professor Ethan Learner, his wife Grace, and their daughter Emma are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh is playing cello--beautifully, as usual. His younger sister looks up to him, and his parents are proud of their son. On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, Josh is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game. Their favorite team, the Red Sox, is playing, and hopefully heading for the World Series. Dwight cherishes his time spent with Lucas. Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads toward his fateful encounter at Reservation Road. The accident happens so fast that Lucas is all but unaware, whereas Ethan--the only witness--is all too aware when a panicked Dwight speeds away. The police are called, and an investigation begins. Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives.

Score distribution:
Positive: 9 out of 29
Mixed: 16 out of 29
Negative: 4 out of 29
Connelly, in particular, soars as the nail-biting mother trying desperately to put on a brave face and keep her family together, while Ruffalo and Phoenix, two of Hollywood's best brooders, are excellent as wounded young fathers.
It's hard to watch two fine actors working themselves into a lather for so little reward.
The kind of movie that moves you to tears even as you resent the manipulative mechanics of the story.
The result is that, rather than tragedy, this unfolds like a plodding morality tale in which Wrath and Cowardice play out their respective parts.
Paints itself into a corner, creating a static situation in which everyone is either stymied or wracked by indecision, leaving the movie free for its two male leads to wallow in self-pity, remorse and bad behavior.

This will be the second Christmas that I'll be spending with my beau's family. He's from a German and Swedish background so his family has a Swedish Smorgasbord. It's basically a big buffet including things like swedish meatballs and seafood dishes. I'll be baking all sorts of desserts tomorrow to bring to the celebration. My family has more of a Christmas breakfast tradition. Every year we have Yeast pancakes which are very fluffy thick pancakes made with yeast. They are eaten with butter and powdered sugar speinkled on top (any kind of syrup ruins the flavour). I'll be making them for my boyfriend and his family on Christmas Eve morning this year. I love traditions

We have Tofurky or some other homemade vegan meal!

Other! I don't have a "traditional" Christmas anymore, since I no longer go home to spend it with my family. My friends and I have started our own tradition of making enchiladas for Christmas dinner. This year we're making two pans- one red and one green and calling them "grincheladas"! Yeah, we're cool.

We eat cornish game hens. My mom marinates them in all kinds of loveliness, with rosemary being the standout. Each guest has one, and it feels so special, and tastes sooo good!!

It's whatever my mom cooks. She makes 5 entrees (I'm not kidding.) So I check out everything that she's made and go for the one I can't cook or find at a restaurant. It's usually a Filipino dish - like ox tail or tamarind soup. But there's always turkey or roast or ham. I'll eat that the next day.

Oddly enough, we don't usually cook dinner on Christmas. We make Christmas Eve dinner. After my grandpa passed away (years ago), we stopped doing turkey because he was the only one who really liked it then...the rest of us felt like we'd just had turkey and didn't want it again. We have ham and golden potato bake (divine!) usually, but we're known to have enchiladas on occasion. Last year, we had raviolis! And we just eat the leftovers on Christmas Day. It's getting so close now! I'm excited!

We don't really have any traditions for Christmas dinner (that's reserved for Christmas breakfast). Just depends on how much effort people want to expend. Sometimes we go out. Chinese, natch, or whatever restaurant we can find that is miraculously open. This year it's just me and my mum for the holiday, and we're going all out with shrimp and some other seafood (undecided - I want squid, she wants crab) baked in oranges and a veggie dish with brussels sprouts and zucchini and carrots. And a couple other yummy things I don't remember since I'm not in charge of them. And some sort of trifle for dessert. Should be good!

This year we are having Kentucky Hotbrowns which is something that is served at the Brown Hotel in Kentucky at Christmas. Last year though we had a roasted leg of lamb with roasted rosmary potoatoes, a salad and asparagus. I would love to be having that again!!! For Christmas Eve my husband likes to cook tacos and enchaladas so we do a big buffet style dinner complete with margaritas.
fashionhore 6 years
My family sees Christmas as a time to try something new, so each year we make something new that nobody has tried. Of course, we have normal and everybody-aproved finger foods to snack on before dinner. And dessert is usually an assortment of a bagillion cookies that we all make the day before!
courtnied 6 years

Christmas Eve is my LEAST favorite holiday food wise of the year--we are Italian so have the seven fish. I do not eat any seafood and some of the stuff (i.e. smelts/squid) is so gross I can't even handle it. Even our pasta has tuna sauce so I end up eating a bowl of buttered noodles! BUTTTT, on Christmas day it is all made up for with homemade wedding soup, pasta with homemade noodles, filet, etc. and all the horror from the day before is forgotten!

Christmas Eve with the Italian side is fish, pasta, ham, turkey, and sausage as main dishes. We also always have Italian Wedding Soup on Christmas Eve. Last year there was a miscommunication about who was supposed to make it, so when nobody made it there were 65 VERY upset people at the tables. Christmas dinner part one is usually a turkey with all the trimmings, and then I have to go to another dinner that's always something involving crab. We are from MD after all.

There's never been a standard with me - growing up it was Cioppino or some other seafood with ravilois and other Italian dishes, married life it's usually crab unless we had it for Thanksgiving (which we didn't due to SF bay oil spill) and this year so far it's gonna be Hot 'n Spicy Corn recipe I found online last night. Hubby said honey ham, salmon or are we just gonna eat at the relatives and let them do the cooking?

Growing up, we always had a standing rib roast for dinner. Then all out cousins came over at night and a midnight buffet was put out, with a roast turkey and spiral ham.

A generous gift for food bank
11:06am Thursday 15th November 2012 in News
CHILDREN at Swell School have been baking bread to spread the word about the North Cotswold Food Bank.
This year the Year 3 children went against the grain and, instead of baking a traditional harvest sheaf, they baked the words 'food bank' which took pride of place among the display of food items at their harvest festival. The service took place at St Mary's Church, Lower Swell, and the infant children performed a short play about the importance of food to the people it is distributed to.
Food items collected will be donated to the food bank, based at Naunton Baptist Church. The children also welcomed Reverend Josie Goodwin the new curate.

UPR is releasing the Mid-term Implementation Assessment (MIA) on Cambodia. The MIA is based on information received from all stakeholders. It details whether recommendations were fully, partially or not implemented approximately two years after the Universal Periodic Review. It is a quick overview on the implementations of recommendations and a way to prepare the next UPR as well.
The MIA can be downloaded at the following link: http://s.upr-info.org/cambodiaMIA
Both States under Review and participating States are using MIAs in order to prepare next reviews. There are many lobbying opportunities raised by the MIA, like contacting the State that made the recommendations commented in the MIA. You may also contact national media, spread the word through you network, etc. Do not hesitate to contact us for further advice.
We publish new MIAs on a regular basis. Please consult the Follow-up Programme outcomes at the following page: http://followup.upr-info.org/
