Bungalow resort on Jomtien beachPosted Mar 18, 2014
Absolutely wonderful. Right on the beach, great bungalow style rooms set in beautiful gardens. Well away from the craziness of Pattaya but a quick taxi ride to get there if you must. Staff are excellent and you are greeted every morning at breakfast by the owners, "Mr &Mrs Rabbit" and the wonderful Windy who manages to know and look after every guest individually. Can't speak too highly of this place.

A Wonderful Oasis!Posted Jan 24, 2014
Pros: We liked it's location. spacious rooms, fantastic breakfast and professional, helpful staff.
Cons: If I could I would. It was a great stay!
Location: The beach location was fantastic. The resort is walkable to good restaurants. It is close to a fun cabaret show and short ride to the walking street.
My wife and I stayed at The Rabbit Resort for 2 nights as a get-away from Bangkok and a desire to visit Pattaya. What a great place. It is like an Oasis in a hectic city. All of the action is close by but you get to return to beauty and tranquillity to rest up for the next adventure. The staff were very professional and helpful. Wendy in particular made our stay special. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The breakfast was as good as I have ever had anywhere. The location on the beach is serene and beautiful. We also enjoyed having drinks in the bar watching the sunset. We would highly recommend the Rabbit Resort as a place to stay for families or couples.

"Amazing hospitality!amazing food! Great rooms!Posted Jan 23, 2014 on Hotels.com
The first hotel I visited in thailand was rabbit resorts, pattaya. The resort is nestled in the greens right at the beach. I don't know where to start? Its just an exemplary place to stay. Great hospitality must say. Mr. And Mrs rabbit made sure we had a great start to our trip. Special thanks to wendy, who was a great help with a smiling face at all times! :-) Great rooms, good location,great food and great value for money! That's not the best part though! The best part is the warmth and the homely care you get at this resort. It feels like you are amongst your own people when you visit this place, must say I am in love and still thinking I should have stayed here more than a night! Loved the cocktail party and the games too! :-)do send me the pics if you can? Thanks for the care! Will visit again soon!:-) Its a must stay!!!!

Beautiful oasis and friendly peoplePosted Jan 8, 2014
Pros: Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds. Good on site restaurant and GREAT breakfasts!
Cons: Water pressure - but this seemed to be a issue all over Thailand so you can't necessarily fault the hotel.
Location: The reserved section of the beach is nice to relax in. We spent most of our time at the hotel ("resort").
We stayed for only 3 nights and the experience was wonderful. The staff are genuinely concerned about our comfort and experience. Felt like home. Beautiful grounds.

I have to remove and reinstall my aluminum siding to repair some water damage around a leaking window. I am not sure how to do it, do I have to take it down from the top of the wall or can I just separate it at the joints.

- Removing aluminum siding
Joints are the edges, locks are the bottom of the piece. You need to start at the lock on the piece above the one you want to remove, wich would be the first piece above the window. At the lock above that piece, you use a tool called in the trade, a zip tool. You can buy it at a hardware store for cheap money. Useing that tool ,unlock the piece above the one above the window. CAREFULLY, you dont want to dent or bend the siding. Once unlocked, you can gently lift the loose piece and see the nails that attach the piece. CAREFULLY pull the nails with a flat bar or BIG catspaw. After removeing the nails, pull down on the piece comming off. It will have a cut-out to go around the trim, with a sill trim piece crimped to it. That will stop you from pulling down the piece at the top of the window. you can loosten the sides of that piece ,then lift it out. CAREFULLY, you don`t want dents. When going down the sides of the window, unlock and remove the same way, be sure to remove the whole piece, don`t let them flap freely and try to work under them. The bottom piece is not so difficult to remove,you`ll get the idea before reaching the bottom piece anyway.
Instalation is the reversal of removal, BUT, push up with your hands to lock back in the pieces, you`ll only need the zip tool for the last piece. Use it the same way you did to remove it, to lock it.
Be sure to lap them the same way they were. You can tell cuz the edges will look new under the lap.
Good luck and take your time !!

A+NYC presents roadmap for next mayorWritten by Owen Minott Thursday, 25 July 2013 11:15
The next mayor must ensure fair funding for underserved schools and reduce focus on standardized tests, according to A+ NYC, a coalition of education reform organizations. Yesterday A+ NYC released the PS 2013 Education Roadmap, a proposal for the next mayor's first 100 days in office.
Rather than view students simply as test-takers, the next mayor needs to look at the "whole child," who needs to be mentally and physically healthy, and develop social skills, they said.
A+ NYC held a highly attended July 24 event at Brooklyn Borough Hall to promote its proposal. Natasha Capers from the Coalition for Educational Justice (CEJ) spoke to hundreds of parents, highlighting the proposal's "whole child" philosophy. "Optimal learning cannot happen without healthy bodies and safe spaces...we know this from research," Capers said.
Capers cited cuts to the arts and after school programs and rising class sizes as damaging to students' education from the "whole child" perspective. She also noted that the number of police personnel in schools is 70 percent higher than the number of guidance counselors, a statistic she believes needs to change.
Kindergarten countdown: On the waitlist!Written by Aimee Sabo Monday, 22 July 2013 10:09
As many of my friends predicted, the decision of where to send Noodle for kindergarten has largely been made for me: After all the drama of G&T and charter school lotteries, we are right back where we started — at our zoned elementary school, PS X. Despite all the research, school tours and panel discussions, not much has changed except my blood pressure. But even though I know that PS X is a good school—some would say very good—I can't fight the feeling that something better is out there.
For me this something better is PS Y— a smaller, newer school that is out of zone, but ironically, one block closer to my apartment. Despite its good reputation, PS X has me a bit worried. In this large school, I worry that my high needs son may get lost in the shuffle. PS Y is half the size, and prides itself on special ed. Because PS Y is so new, they don't yet have a waitlist of in-zone students, and when I called on a whim after my application was rejected in April, I was surprised to hear from the plucky parent coordinator that Noodle might have a shot at getting in.
HS workshops ease admissons angstWritten by Owen Minott Wednesday, 17 July 2013 16:36
On July 16, the Education Department held the first in a series of summer high school workshops for rising 8th graders and their families. The DOE hosts these workshops every summer to help 8th graders and their families prepare for the complicated high school admissions process.
Hundreds of parents, guardians and students attended the 90-minute session at Prospect Heights Educational Campus; many left saying they felt better prepared for the high school search. The workshop "gives you a starting point to look at the madness and see what you need to be doing," said Khen P. Brady, the parent of an 8th grader.
The DOE's Maurice Frumkin led the presentation, walking students through the phone book-sized high school directory and highlighting a few key recommendations for choosing a high school.
Ask Judy: Moving in, around & out of NYCWritten by Judy Baum Tuesday, 16 July 2013 19:04
It's summertime and many families are on the move. Whether moving from one borough to another, from the city to the suburbs or to New York City from another state, which school a child will attend is a huge factor in family plans. This week's inbox was full of questions from families on the move. Here are a few of them.
Can I still go to my charter school?
Q: We are moving to Yonkers in the summer and were wondering if our son can continue attending the Bronx charter school that he has been going to since 1st grade.
A: Yes, your son may continue to attend the city charter school. Here is what the Department of Education Office of Charter Schools told me in an email:
"If a family moves out of the five boroughs, but wants to continue sending their child to a charter school in the city, then the charter school would bill that district the cost of the per-pupil allocation of that school.
Similarly, if a child moves to the city, but chooses to continue attending a charter school outside of the city, then the charter school would bill the district of residence for the allocation for that student"
There is a big BUT:
"If a student moves out of the state, then the family would have to pay tuition and the school would not receive per pupil dollars."
HS Hustle: Should community service cost?Written by Liz Willen Monday, 15 July 2013 18:01
Wondering what it might cost to get your kids to help make the world a better place? Parents willing to fund volunteer work might find promises like these:
"An unforgettable summer! Kayaking! Horseback riding! Service and Surf!"
Over the years, there have been plenty of articles about the price of tagging turtles or monitoring zebras – and how little it will help with college admission. I remember reading about one such trip to Fiji a few years back where a student spent more than $3,295 to work – and enjoyed the infinity pool and view of the ocean.
None of this was what I had in mind when we first started contemplating New York City public high schools a few years back. At the time, I was particularly impressed by schools like Beacon, where community service is part of the program. In some parts of the U.S., a minimum of 20 hours of service is required for graduation, so the volunteer work is all part of the curriculum. Some city high schools require it, others simply suggest it.
High school workshops begin this weekWritten by Pamela Wheaton Monday, 15 July 2013 12:56
Evening workshops about the high school admissions process for 8th graders and their families begin this week. Enrollment officials from the Department of Education wll lead information sessions and answer questions about the types of high school programs offered and how to apply. All sessions run from 6:30-8 p.m. Insideschools will be there too!
The first workshop is Tuesday, July 16 at Prospect Heights High School in Brooklyn; on Wednesday, July 17, there will be a workshop at New Dorp High School on Staten Island and on Thursday, July 18, the Manhattan info session will be held at Fashion Industries High School.
Next week, it's the Bronx and Queens: Lehman High School on Tuesday, July 23 and Forest Hills High School on Wednesday, July 24.
Workshops about the city's nine specialized high schools, which admit students based on an exam or audition, also begin next week. The first session is at Staten Island Tech on Wednesday, July 24, followed by Brooklyn, at Prospect Heights, on Thursday, July 25. The following week, the specialized workshops will be at Fashion Industries onTuesday, July 30; Francis Lewis in Queens on July 31 and the final one at Lehman High School on Thursday, Aug. 1.
Summer specialized high school test sign up & prep
Specialized high school handbooks, including a sample test, will be available at the information sessions. Most students do some prep work or take a course before sitting for the 2 hour and 30 minutes test, which is given in October to 8th and 9th graders.
Some community organizations offer free test prep. One such group is La Casa Azul Bookstore in East Harlem, which is working with a local tutoring company to offer a 20 hour preparatory course, according to the DOE. For more information, email info.lacasaazul@gmail.
Incoming 9th and 10th graders who moved to New York City after last fall's specialized high school exam may sign up for the August 26 SHSAT exam, and the audition for LaGuardia High School, beginning on July 15 at enrollment offices. The last date to sign up is Aug. 21. See more information here.

College Counselor: Retake SAT or ACT?Written by Dr. Jane S. Gabin Wednesday, 10 July 2013 11:31
Q: I took the SAT in March and got a 2190 and then took the ACT in June and got a 35. I would be happy with the 35 if I didn't think that I could score a 36, and I also feel strongly that I could improve on my SAT score. Is it worth it to retake either test? Would it look bad if I retook both? Does a high score on the SAT look better than a high score on the ACT?
A: I'd be happy with a 35, too! Congratulations --your scores are enviable indeed, and I am sure that many readers of this column wish they could do as well on their tests. But yes – I would try for a 36, just because you are so close to it. What do you have to lose?
Your query has several parts to it, and I need to provide several answers – not just for you but for everyone facing standardized tests for college admissions:
HS directory: Read the fine print!Written by Anna Schneider Tuesday, 02 July 2013 12:40
The Education Department's new directory of the city's 413 high schools, and 705 programs, delivers an official hit to the autonomy of "audition" schools in selecting their future students.
A few months ago, parents and administrators were furious when the DOE assigned both general and special education students who did not audition to selective arts schools. The 2013-14 high school directory clarifies that policy, among others.
On page 5 of the directory, which went home with rising 8th graders last week, an astericked note next to the admissions methods for audition schools explains that the DOE's Office of Enrollment reserves the right to place students in audition programs if the school has not ranked enough students to fill their seats. That's a change from the admissions policy stated in last year's high school directory on page 8 which said: "You must audition to be eligible for admission."
"The revised screening policy at audition schools had been in place prior to this year, and based on feedback, we wanted to be even more public about it. We always want to build on our record of transparency in our admissions and enrollment policies," said DOE spokesperson Devon Puglia.
K-12 charters: No seats for outsidersWritten by Gail Robinson Tuesday, 02 July 2013 11:40
If all goes according to plan, about 70 proud teenagers will get diplomas when Success Academy Charter School–Manhattan High School graduates its first class in spring 2018. The moment will likely bring some sadness, though. After all, most of these students will have been together since they entered kindergarten in fall 2007.
Over the years, some students will no doubt have left the group. But, if Success sticks to its announced policies, no new students would have joined the class since 2010, when the graduates were 9 or 10 years old.
Firmly entrenched at the elementary school level, even though they educate only about 6 percent of New York City's public school students, an increasing number of charter operators are seeking to offer a K-12 education for their students.
How they handle this expansion—whether they admit students from other elementary and middle schools—is almost certain to raise new questions and concerns about the role of charter schools and who they serve. Despite those and other questions, the Bloomberg administration is working to put as many charters into play as possible as the clock ticks down to the end of the mayor's term.

Ask Judy: How do I find a good high school?Written by Judy Baum Tuesday, 02 July 2013 11:19
Hi Judy,
My daughter is going to 8th grade and she has to pick schools to go to in 9th grade. How can I find the perfect school for her? I'm looking for a safe-clean environment and high performance educationally. I am looking forward to have her in a specialized school like Bronx Science.
PAP, Planning ahead parent
Dear PAP,
You are starting the process at the right time. The Department of Education has announced July workshops for parents about the high school admissions process. Read our post on this issue and plan to attend those workshops.
Even before the sessions, you have homework to do! Your daughter's middle school should have given her a copy of the 2013-2014 Directory of New York City Public High Schools with information about every public high school in the city. If she didn't get one, go to the nearest enrollment office to pick it up, along with the Specialized High Schools Student Handbook, that has information about the eight exam schools that require a special test for admission. Bronx Science is one them. You can also find the directories online. The handbook includes a sample of the qualifying test: the Specialized High School Admission Test, (SHSAT),which will be administered on Oct. 26-27 this year. After taking the sample test, you and your daughter can figure out how much studying she needs to do to qualify for an exam school. Many students arrange tutoring, either individually or in a group, others study with friends or on their own and then take more sample tests. You can find these online or in prep books at a bookstore. See more tips on how to prepare for the SHSAT in a previous Ask Judy column.

Hi, I am researching the Davis family tree. I know M.J. Davis married Janie Duckett and their children were Bertha, Mary, Harley (I know he was born in Haywood,NC on March 29, 1883), Bob, Nass, Charlie, and Furman Davis. I don't know what M.J. stands for or who his parents are or what he did for a living. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
LANSING, MI (WLNS) - Cristo Rey Church put on their annual Stations of the Cross walk in downtown Lansing Friday afternoon.
The walk re-enacted the 14 stations of the cross, the final steps in the life of Jesus.
For the third year in a row, Jesus was portrayed by Jose Gallo, a high school senior from Venezuela. He says it's an honor and thanks God for granting him acceptance into Michigan State University.
The walk ended at the Cristo Rey Communicty Center with the Good Friday adoration of the cross and communion service.
This event has taken place in downtown Lansing since 1978.

This blog covers everything except sports and gardening, unless we find a really good link about using dead professional bowlers for mulch. The author is a StarTribune columnist, has been passing off fiction and hyperbole as insight since 1997, has run his own website since the Jurassic era of AOL, and was online when today's college sophomores were a year away from being born. So get off his lawn.
Anyway: Instagram is getting flak for its new privacy statement. Apparently it's different from the old one, which no one read. No ever reads the whole EULA; everyone who's in their twenties today grew up learning to lie about reading legal documents. They might as well say "By clicking 'I Agree' you acknowledge that you read the entire 15,938 words document, including the part about the company not being liable if the software causes your computer to repeatedly dial the police and ask, in a flat robotic voice, if they have Prince Albert in the can." Sure whatever I want to play the game, click.
Gizmodo says:
A new Instagram privacy policy goes into effect on January 16th, 2013. The service will now be sharing your data with its new owner Facebook. Get used to it.
Basically, Instagram has updated a few of the subhead sections of its policy to reflect the fact that it is a part of Facebook now. Instagram can now share information like cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, and usage data,with "with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that Instagram is part of."
The Instagram blog says these changes will help them fight spam - there isn't any at present, but there might be - and "detect system and reliability problems more quickly." So all your data is going to Facebook, which will sift it and sell it and
The other part that's caused some to stalk away in a huff? Instagram - meaning, Facebook - says they can use your photos for anything, if they want.Someone else got in trouble for this a while back; who was it? Pinterest? It's a stupid move, easy to avoid. Have an agreement that makes sense to ordinary humans, and include something like this:
"Gosh no, we'd never use your pictures in any ad campaign without asking. That would be skeezy. If we did ask, and you said yes, we'd pay you. I mean, didn't we just get a billion dollars from Facebook? Of course!"
Not to overquote Giz, but they're on this with the usual finesse and incisive perspective you've come to expect:
Have you heard the news? Instagram just updated its terms of service, and is giving itself permission to sell the photos you take to advertisers. Lots of users are weeping, threatening to quit, and screaming about privacy.
Counterpoint: shut up.
He goes on to point out the obvious: it's free, no one's making you use it, and businesses need to make money, so if theylicense your photo to someone willing to pay money, it'll keep the lights on. Because he knows that opinionated bossypants get attention, he tells you how to regard your work:
But there's a larger point to be made here. You shouldn't care about these pictures to begin with.
Counterpoint: shut up. Elaboration: shut up and sit down. Yes, the charm of Instagram, in part, comes from the stream of snaps that flow past, documenting people's lives, the things they see, the desserts they feel compelled to share with the world, and so on. If you subscribe to your friends' feeds, that's what you will get. But if you subscribe to people who are very good, and have a style or recurring subject you like, it's not a throwaway experience - and if you're one of those
Realize that you're finally paying the price of admission for a seat you took years ago. And maybe be flattered that your life is visually interesting enough to consider whoring out to begin with.
There. You have been told. Now go back to taking pictures of your stupid feet.
I agree they've every right to do this, but surely there's a nicer way to explain the free market to people.
Will this cause people to flee to Flickr? They just put out a great app with better filters than the Instagram app. Snapseed is one of my favorite new camera apps, and it'll export to Flickr as well. (Google bought it, though, so it probably uploads your location so they can tell your browser on another computer to include an ad for the store you were standing next to, but did not enter.) (Kidding.) (Sort of.)
(Note: pictures from my Instagram feed, as well as one from my daughter's.)

Says the seller: "This car has had 1400 miles since a show-car quality restoration by marque specialist Mike Young. Beautiful and reliable, with upgrades from original of paint and clear coat, radial tires, and leather interior. "
1967 Datsun 1600 roadster
|Roseburg, Oregon
|Chassis mileage:
|Engine type:
|1600 cc # 25816 (numbers-matching) with 83783 miles
How long have you had the car? 9 years
Describe the body condition: All new paint and body work just before it was purchased by me. Has not been wet since, no visible complications with restoration of the body.
Describe the mechanical condition: Fully rebuilt engine, transmission, radiator, gas tank, and braking systems. No known weaknesses mechanically. No areas left un-inspected or unaddressed if a lack was detected. 1400 miles since restoration. All new hoses, new battery, new cables and much more!
Included documentation: Title and registration. One 1st place in 1600 custom category at 2012 Mt. Shasta rally.
What makes this car special? The car is being sold for far less than the labor to restore it would cost. $3500 in new chrome alone. Custom red paint and beautiful leather interior make it a stunning eye catcher of an original design plus it is ready to take off to anywhere.
Asking Price: $15,000
For more info: Click Here.
One of my pleasures in reading the comments on BAT over the last 5+ years has been learning a little, sometimes a lot, about cars I've admired but never owned.
As I know a little about Datsun Roadsters having campaigned a '67 1600 in the 2000 mile 6 day La Carrera Panamericana in 2006 & 2008. These cars, even in stock trim, are not "ultraslow" with a stock 90hp motor they will do and mine did 90MPH all day. 107MPH when needed.
In the rain slicked mountain sections of "Mil Cumbres" we passed a 6cyl car that started 30 seconds ahead and a V8 car started 1 minute ahead stage after stage. Even with a heap of mediocrity behind the wheel these are easy cars to push hard. "Ultraslow" is relative: the 1600′s won't win any drag races, although the 2L cars and the SR20 & KA24 swaps will.
In their day Datsun Roadsters dominated SCCA racing. Search Pete Brock and Bob Sharp if you would like to learn more.
Roadster Guru, Mike Young, is as knowledgeable about these cars as they come. He's bought, improved and sold hundreds. Everyone he touches is better off for the experience. His personal 1967.5 2000 may be the best example of that model in the country.
I did call him about this car. He did not do the restoration himself, he supplied parts and consultation but the work was not performed by him. The car listed was built as a gift for the owners wife, the liberties taken in paint, gauge bezel treatment and interior color and materials were choices that were meant to personalize the car.
As previously pointed out: '65-70 Roadsters did not have rear seating. '68 introduced a taller windshield and a plastic dash that continued thru 1970 Both the "early" and the "late" cars have their devoted fans.
To summarize, this looks like a lot of car for the money. The "personal choices" are easily changed to stock items, just call Mike Young.
Yankee, The later models had a taller windshield and attendant taller top. They didn't look as sleek. ultraslow
Here is a great blog about a guy and his Roadster making a trip of a lifetime right now. His is the same year (67 early) as this car. His car was parked at my Dad's house for a couple of days while Scott visited a neighboring island. This should stick a cork in any of the critics of these cars. My Dad's car made it into the photos of the blog too. Only one on Orcas that I know of and get to drive it up Mt. Constitution every time I visit,
aka exit64
Only the 63 and 64 1500 have rear seats. Why would you expect a 67 1600 to have one? There is an unbelievable amount of mis information and guessing by people not into these cars in this thread.
The car for sale, while having some customization is a solid car built by one of the best Roadster guys in the country. It's a steal at that price. It will be a $25k car in 5 years
@Jeff H Why don't you contact him, or pick up the phone and call him? It's really quite simple. This is true only if you're really interested in the car. I've seen his work. I've met him. If your just curious I can understand why he would limit his info to only those who are truly interested. I personally think it's a great way to filter out armchair critics, Just saying………
@Blackcloud — Have to pass up Lime Rock this year, and I felt pretty bad about it. Rarely miss one. But when I saw your invitation, I felt even worse — a BaT pal live and in person, and a free beer…
Seriously, thanks for thinking of me, wish I could be there. Had to miss Greenwich and Pebble, and now LR (family matter has me out of town). Enjoy the weekend, and drink that beer for me. Next year's a definite!
The early cars had the low windshield. High windshield was 68-70. Stock wheels were silver with chrome hub caps.
@Steve C If you knew of Mike Young, or his work, you would understand that he does beautiful work and is short on formalities. Pick up the phone and call him if you're really interested. I had my 240Z next to his SRL 311 Sport 2000 Convertible at a Concours recently. A true work of art. And he was as personable and full of info as you could wish. He knew more about the 2000′s than the judges. Go figure. If he did this car, it's done to perfection. He is obsessive about details. I would be all over this if not for 2 other projects waiting their turn. This is a very fair price.
A possible explanation for OR being a hotbed for cool Japanese and foreign cars in general is Ron Tonkin. That guy franchised just about every make and got in early when new brands were introduced to North America. Portland would have been the type of place in 1972 where, for better or worse, you could have purchased a Honda 600 Coupe Z or a Mazda R100.
Steve- nothing to worry about here. Mike Young either is or is equal to being the worlds #1 Datsun Roadster authority (not an exaageration)
Pay for 1/2 the total restoration cost, and get the car for free.
Also a few too many custom touches for my taste, plus I'm spoiled to the power of the 2 liter. But all told, this looks like a car you could use every weekend for the next 10 years with no issues.
@jboat49. I agree. The wheels need to be painted to suit my taste. The old adage is " buy something already restored ". A very nice driver for $15,000. Not to get off subject, but are you attending the historics at Lime Rock next week? If so, I'll buy you a beer.
Beautiful example. I owned a '69 SRL 311. I always thought thought the earlier model 1500′s were a better car. Great deal, great car.
I like Fairladies.
The red wheels on this one make it look 1950′s British. That would be fine if it were either.
(or did they come with body-color wheels?)
$21,000 spent, plus 350 hours of Mike Young's time (another $21,000) 1st place at the Datsun Roadster show in Shasta–no doubt that this car is well done, well sorted and able to be driven anywhere. Too many "personal choices" for me to be frothing over this one. That said, those things are reversible and few 60′s sports cars are easier to live with than a well sorted Datsun Roadster.
Probably as good as one of these gets. Overall quality sure seems to be there, looks like a very thorough resto. $25 worth of wheel paint and a gold-delete on the dash and you're in business.

Mayor Rob Ford appeal:Ford's future as mayor hinges on appeal court hearing on Monday
Mayor Rob Ford's future as mayor — or ex-mayor — will be determined in a Toronto courtroom on Monday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Mayor Rob Ford's future as mayor — or ex-mayor — will be determined in a Toronto courtroom on Monday.
Ford plans to attend the proceedings but wouldn't comment further when pressed by reporters Friday at Earl Bales Park in North York, where the mayor participated in the opening of a new $2.3 million chair lift at the ski hill.
"I'll be in court on Monday," Ford said. "I can just say I'm going to be there and unfortunately I can't comment on the appeal."
If he were to lose the appeal, Ford waffled over whether he would prefer holding a mayoral by-election or whether he would urge council to appoint him as mayor until the next scheduled election in October, 2014.
Ford said he'll run in a byelection — costing $7 million or more — if council decides to go that route. He has also indicated he would want council to appoint him.
Asked Friday about his support for an appointment, Ford adopted a more neutral stance.
"If that's what council decides, that's what they decide. Obviously, that would save a lot of money. If they don't decide to do that, then they would have a byelection. Whatever council wants to decide, but let's just see what happens with the appeal first."
Ford's lawyer Alan Lenczner will try to persuade a panel of three Divisional Court judges to overturn a bombshell November ruling that Ford breached provincial conflict of interest law at a February city council meeting and must vacate his office.
A court official said Friday the appeal panel will be: Regional Senior Justice Edward Then; Justice Lynne Leitch; and Justice Katherine Swinton.
To save Ford's job, Lenczner must convince them that Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland made an error in law. In a factum filed last month, Lenczner argues Hackland made four of them.
Clayton Ruby, the lawyer acting for Toronto resident Paul Magder who successfully launched the conflict of interest suit and grilled Ford in court for hours, will try to convince the panel the ruling should stand.
Lenczner has predicted Ford — and the rest of the city — will wait about three weeks before the appeal court releases its decision.
If Ford wins, he remains mayor.
If he loses, he is out of office. Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday would take over temporarily and councillors would have to vote on whether to select the next mayor through a council vote appointing a caretaker to fulfill Ford's term — potentially Ford himself — or to launch a mayoral byelection.

Rome Sights
Domus Aurea (Golden House of Nero)
Domus Aurea (Golden House of Nero) Review
Legend has it that Nero famously fiddled while Rome burned. Fancying himself a great actor and poet, he played, as it turns out, his harp to accompany his recital of "The Destruction of Troy" while gazing at the flames of Rome's catastrophic fire of AD 64. Anti-Neronian historians propagandized that Nero, in fact, had set the Great Fire to clear out a vast tract of the city center to build his new palace. Today's historians discount this as historical folderol (going so far as to point to the fact that there was a full moon on the evening of July 19, hardly the propitious occasion to commit arson). But legend or not, Nero did get to build his new palace, the extravagant Domus Aurea (Golden House)—a vast "suburban villa" that was inspired by the emperor's pleasure palace at Baia on the Bay of Naples. His new digs were huge and sumptuous, with a facade of pure gold, seawater piped into the baths, decorations of mother-of-pearl, fretted ivory, and other precious materials, and vast gardens. It was said that after completing this gigantic house, Nero exclaimed, "Now I can live like a human being!" Unfortunately, following damage due to flooding in December 2008, the Domus is closed for restorations once again.

NEWS DAY | Minnesota Nice isn't enough
How does Minnesota treat you? Instead of asking what immigrants do for Minnesota, a new report asks how Minnesota treats immigrants. Minnesota, we have problems.
Moving from exclusion to belonging: Immigrant rights in Minnesota today, released April 2 by the Advocates for Human Rights, looks at Minnesota's government, civic institutions and long-term residents and asks how well we fulfill our responsibilities toward immigrants, "to ensure that every person is treated with dignity and enjoys freedom, justice, equality and peace." The researchers went out across Minnesota to conduct hundreds of interviews and dozens of community conversations over the past two years.
At the April 2 press conference at the capitol, Advocates Executive Director Robin Phillips summarized their findings: "Although Minnesota is generally a welcoming place, laws, policies and practices exclude immigrants from full participation in our community and violate their human rights."
First, there's discrimination: "some of the nation's worst racial disparities" as well as discrimination against Muslim immigrant communities. Immigrants and refugees with legal status often "remain ineligible for public safety net programs."
"No one can share bread with you if you can't contribute flour"
The full 300-page report includes many quotations from individual immigrants and advocates. From the report:
Getting work permission p. 97-98 —When individuals do finally receive authorization to work in the United States, some reported difficulties related to a gap in their work history, or problems related to the frequency with which the work authorization must be renewed (often yearly). "I've had my work permit for one month," one man explained. "The problem is that I didn't work for a year. I'm living with people, they are God-sent people, but no one can share bread with you if you can't contribute flour."
A staff member at a social service agency explained how repeated delays in renewal of employment authorization documents resulted in hardship for a client: "She got work permission and then it wouldn't be renewed in a timely fashion, and she would lose her job, so her work history was short and spotty. She couldn't advocate for herself to stop the firings."
Recertification and professionals p. 101 — A labor organizer said that it is "amazing to talk to union members. Many used to be doctors, accountants in their country of origin but now are paid minimum wage."
"It's hard for educated people," said a social worker. "Many end up being Personal Care Assistants or Certified Nursing Assistants, working two or three jobs to get by. This becomes cyclical: because they are always working and tired, they can't get further education or obtain recertification to move up and get out of the cycle. They can't really transition to bigger or better jobs."
No complaints p. 104 — For one immigrant interviewee, the simple comparison between the danger and lack of opportunity he escaped in his home country and the safety of life in the United States prevents him from complaining about his work. A refugee man who, prior to civil war in his home country, led an upper-class life and who now works as a parking attendant said, "I have no complaints. When I work, I am working towards my daughter's future. There is nothing that can make me complain about it. There are a lot of kids out there who don't have fathers to feed them or access to health care. My job gives us that so we can't complain."
Undocumented Minnesotans face even higher barriers - "excluded from the community and in constant fear of deportation, leaving them vulnerable to human rights violations and abuses."
Both undocumented immigrants and immigrants who have undocumented family members avoid contact with public safety or law enforcement officers, which may leave them as easier targets for crime. That's a particular barrier for battered immigrant and refugee women. Overall, fear of deportation leads to lack of access to justice, in either criminal or civil courts.
Many of the 500 people interviewed for the report felt positive about economic opportunity in Minnesota, but advocates reported that some immigrant workers "face exploitation by employers who prey on fear of deportation or job loss." That may mean wage and hour violations, wage theft, lack of safety training and equipment, and even human trafficking.
With 230 languages spoken by students in Minnesota schools, education issues are a big concern of immigrants and educators. Resources for English learner services are important, but participants also said policy changes to reduce bullying, to make schools feel more welcoming for immigrant families, and to address disparities in discipline.
Housing, basic needs and civic engagement are other areas of emphasis in the report — I'll write more about all of the issues over the next few weeks. One of the biggest issues for all immigrants, however, is the nation's broken immigration system. The executive summary of the report summarizes:
"The problems experienced by those with legal immigration status include long waits for application processing, difficulties communicating with immigration officials, and discrimination based on religion and country of origin. The situation facing undocumented people is much worse by virtually every marker. Not having legal immigration status means living with a continual, abiding fear that you or a family member could be deported at any moment. This fear undermines the ability of undocumented people to live safely and with dignity and to fully realize other fundamental human rights. Though the problems are fundamentally different between these two groups of immigrant, they all reflect a lack of respect for the right to live with dignity and security."

Drain Pipe Installation reviews in Delaware
I first hired Chapman in late 2010 to install a 300' long drain tile with several surface grates. Our septic mound acted as a giant dam which would create a 40'x20' pond that was about a foot deep after any moderate rainstorm. sited the area and indicated the best type of drainage solution. He trenched the area in one day (including several feet of hand-digging and a
The second job (in 2012) resolved poor drainage in two other areas of the yard. An identical solution was recommended and
Chapman appears to have a very steady workload, so he's not as reponsive as you might want but his work and pricing is excellent. Two other neighbors and a coworker have all hired him after I did, with similar results.
Asked Waterworks to come out and assess why the T&P pressure valve was opening on my hot water heater. The service tech said the problem was with the expansion tank (2.5 gallons) and that it needed to be replaced. The quote provided was $197 for the 2.5 tank is $40 (300% markup) and the installation is simply a matter of unscrewing the old tank and screwing on the new tank. The price estimate was outrageous! So, I did it myself for $40.

An Elk man was arrested this morning in Spokane Valley after authorities discovered the vehicle he was in was stolen.
Officers responded to the River Rock Apartments at 12700 E. Shannon Ave. about 10:30 a.m. for a report of a "suspicious male ducking down inside the parked Honda and smoking something," said Spokane Valley Police spokesman Sgt. Dave Reagan. Officers contacted the car's occupant and identified him as Christopher L. Dahlman, 20.
Dispatch notified officers the license plate on the back of the Honda was stolen off another vehicle, and when police ran the car's identification number, they learned the car was stolen, as well. The car's Montana plates were not located, Reagan said.
Reagan said Dahlman was nervous and claimed to have borrowed the car, but could not identify its actual owner and was arrested for possession of a stolen motor vehicle and booked into Spokane County Jail.

The Bengals are conducting their first practice in full pads, as well as the epic Oklahoma Drill that players and coaches are starting to care less for. We review a handful of injuries heading into...
After starting 28 straight games at left guard, Clint Boling may have to battle Mike Pollak for that spot now.
For the Cincinnati Bengals, OTAs are an opportunity for them to see all of their injured players and gauge how far they are in their recovery, and when they'll be able to contribute again.
Could the Bengals dip into the FCS and D-II ranks to find a developmental offensive tackle?
There is no indication that the Bengals were part of any negotiations on Tuesday, as rumored salary figures had reached an annual $7 million mark.
Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Paul Alexander has a lot of options this year for the offensive line, including a lot of prospects in the 2014 NFL draft.
Look at Bengals heading to free agency this March, Mike Pollak and Brandon Tate are priority behind Michael Johnson and Anthony Collins and the team's handful of restricted free agents.
At least three Bengals earned contract escalators for 2014 for their performance in 2013.
News and links concerning the Cincinnati Bengals for your "early" morning reading.
The Cincinnati Bengals placed offensive lineman Clint Boling on injured reserve on Tuesday, and signed Dennis Roland to fill his roster spot.
The Cincinnati Bengals made expected roster moves on Tuesday by placing Clint Boling on season-ending IR while re-signing a familiar face.
Marvin Lewis has confirmed that Boling will miss the remainder of 2013.

By ANDREA RIQUIER, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
View Enlarged Image
With stronger signals of firming growth for the rest of 2014, the Federal Reserve made few policy changes Wednesday but said the economy may languish below its potential long-term.
As expected, the central bank will reduce its asset purchases by an additional $10 billion, bringing monthly totals to $35 billion. Policymakers kept current rates near zero but lifted 2015-16 rate forecasts higher while cutting longer-run views.
The economy has rebounded largely in line with the Fed's expectations from earlier in the year. Employers have added jobs at a brisk pace and the jobless rate had taken a big step down, to 6.3%, by May. Manufacturing has perked up, and inflation has started to heat up as well.
More Supportive Fed
Yet the central bank remains concerned about the long-term potential of the economy. The residual effects of the financial crisis are suppressing expectations for output, Chairwoman Janet Yellen told reporters, and the Fed doesn't want to box itself into a policy path.
"It's good to know they're going to be easier longer because they're worried," said Allen Sinai, chief global economist with Decision Economics.
"It makes me feel better they're going to be supportive."
Since the end of the recession, the Fed has walked a tight line between providing enough support to an economy that has struggled to achieve liftoff, and keeping a careful eye on the potential negative effects of too much stimulus.
That task was made even more challenging this year, as brutal winter weather crushed demand, shrinking GDP by 1% in Q1, with expectations the final reading will be revised lower.
The central bank stuck to rosier views than incoming data might have supported through that time, and Yellen repeated that the Fed thought diminished activity was transitory. But policymakers revised their 2014 growth forecast significantly lower Wednesday, to 2.1% to 2.3%, from 2.8% to 3% in March.
Meanwhile, benchmark interest rates are now seen rising to 2.50% in 2016 vs. an earlier projection of 2.25%. But in the long run, rates are now seen at 3.75%, a big shift down from the 4% historically considered normal.
Inflation Vs. Wages
The consumer price index rose to a 2.1% year-on-year increase in May from 2%. Another measure of inflation is due next week and may confirm the upward trend. Wages have barely kept up with prices, however. Real weekly wages ticked up just 0.3% on the year in May.
Many economists expect the increasing gains in the job market to put further pressure on inflation. But Yellen and other Fed members still see plenty of slack in the economy.
She repeated on Wednesday that the declining jobless rate wasn't just due to people finding work, but to a decline in labor force participation. It's also not clear how many people now on the sidelines will want to return once the job market starts to really heat up.
"The Fed seems to be suggesting that the recent pickup in inflation doesn't materially change its near-term outlook for monetary policy since they still expect a gradual return to normal," wrote IHS Global Insight Economist Paul Edelstein in a research note. "Perhaps this is because, while consumer price inflation seems to be firming, wage inflation is not."
ISM manufacturing index surges to 3-year high ISM's factory gauge rose to 59.0 in Aug., up 1.9 points and well above expectations. It was the 15th straight month in expansion mode and the highest level since March 2011, the Institute for Supply Management said. New orders soared to 66.7, up 3.3 ...
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index for September rose slightly, but remains below the neutral level as nearly half of Americans say the U.S. is still in recession. The overall reading for the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index climbed to 45.2 in September from August's 44.5, which was the lowest ...
Personal incomes grew 0.2% in July, with a 4.3% yearly rise that was the highest since the end of 2012. But that didn't translate into more spending by consumers. Expenditures dipped 0.1% for the month, the first decline since January. That took the yearly change to 3.6%, down from 3.9% in June. ...
Consumers cut spending in July, the first drop since January. But they were more confident in August. Also, falling European inflation raised the odds that the European Central Bank will be more aggressive, while Brazil fell into recession and Japan is still staggering from April's sales tax hike. ...
The economy grew even faster than initially estimated in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said Thursday, as companies finally started deploying cash reserves for expansion. Gross domestic product grew at a 4.2% annual rate, higher than the initial reading of 4%, and rebounding from Q1's ...

Mirage of Tokyo

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Anything but an Elephant's Natural Environment
In the circus, you see gentle giants donning funny outfits and performing tricks on tiny tubs. It's anything but an elephant's natural environment. "Should the elephants get out there and perform these tricks every day for the public so you (Ringling Bros.) can make pocket money? Or should it be that the elephants don't have to do this anymore?" asks Tom Rider, a former Ringling employee and plaintiff in the federal lawsuit against the circus.

More Ringling nonsense: Circus elephants enjoy living out of boxcars
As the Ringling rail cars were unloaded in Las Vegas Tuesday evening, 12 hours before their scheduled arrival, Ringling animal handler Ryan Henning expressed the same sentiments his employer has emphasized in recent years -- mainly, how well circus elephants are treated and how much the big pachyderms enjoy living out of boxcars. "They enjoy it. They travel very comfortably. I would say they travel better than the people in the show. They've got it made," he said.
The article links to the court documents in Born Free USA's trial against Ringling (for violating the Endangered Species Act by cruelly mistreating Asian elephants) which clearly show otherwise.

Trying to stop more dolphin deaths
In the days before a dolphin named Sgt. Pepper died last week at The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, two animal rights organizations — Born Free USA and The World Society for the Protection of Animals — had filed a complaint against the Mirage's request to import two more dolphins for its habitat. Part of the complaint, ironically, said more dolphins shouldn't be brought in because other dolphins had died in the past at the habitat, which the two groups claim is being used as a money-making entertainment enterprise, rather than for educational or conservation purposes.

"The circus is good, family fun." Not.
As the circus chugs into town on its mile-long train, a federal lawsuit casts a shadow over the Greatest Show on Earth. ... "Elephants are mobile animals," said Nicole Paquette, senior vice president and general counsel for Born Free USA, a plaintiff in the trial. "They want to walk around and roam for food and water. In the circus, they're chained, one foot in the front and one in the back."
Details on our lawsuit are available at www.bornfreeusa.org/ringling.

Ringling Tours under Criticism
The circus came to town yesterday in Trenton, New Jersey, but Born Free USA is asking Trenton residents to consider the shocking evidence against Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey (Ringling) before buying a ticket that essentially supports animal cruelty.

Oregon Bill to Restrict Private Possession of Exotic "Pets" Passes Senate
Legislation that would end the ownership of certain wild animals in Oregon passed the Senate today. S.B. 391 will prohibit future possession of alligators, monkeys, lions, tigers, bears, alligators, crocodiles and caimans. The Humane Society of the United States, Born Free USA and the Oregon Humane Society say they applaud the Oregon House Environment and Water Committee for passing S.B. 391 to "prohibit dangerous wild animals as pets."
