2014 has been kind to the Great Falls Americans. They are 4-0 so far in the new calendar year. The Ams are currently 2nd place behind the Bighorns who they will meet tomorrow night for the sixth time this season. Helena leads the series four games to one. Great Falls is familiar with the Bighorns' aggressive style of play, so they know that maintaining a strong defense will be key.
"It's blocking shots. Shooting as much on their goalies as we can," says Ams goalie Evan Hauser. "Goal tending for us is a huge thing. They fire a lot of shots on us. So everyone has got to be on their A-game and doing the right thing."
Hauser is also aware of why the Bighorns have been so successful in the last decade.
"They're good at recruiting, they have a lot of hard working players," explained Hauser. "They work their tails off everyday and they're just a tough team to play against."
The puck is scheduled to drop Wednesday at 7:35 in Helena.

The injury bug has turned the Halifax Mooseheads' roster into a revolving door.
Key forwards Darcy Ashley and Timo Meier were both hurt in the first period during Halifax's 5-1 home win over Gatineau on Thursday night. The Mooseheads were already without six players absent with either injuries or illness and forward Brandon Vuic, who's suspended for two games.
Halifax GM Cam Russell said Meier is probable for the team's road game Sunday in Bathurst but Ashley will miss it and is listed as day-to-day.
Forward Philippe Gadoury, out since Jan. 25 with a concussion, and blue-liner Jesse Lussier (flu) are expected back on Sunday.

BERLIN Ś New movies from directors Steven Soderbergh and Gus Van Sant and a trio of films starring French divas will be competing this year at the Berlin International Film Festival.
A diverse selection of 19 movies, including films from Kazakhstan and Iran, will vie for the main Golden Bear prize at EuropeÆs first major film festival of the year. The event runs from Feb. 7-17.
Van SantÆs film about the shale gas industry, ōPromised Land,ö starring Matt Damon, and SoderberghÆs thriller ōSide Effects,ö featuring Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones, are the most prominent U.S. offerings.
ThereÆs a strong contingent from eastern Europe, including Oscar-winning Bosnian director Danis TanovicÆs ōAn Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker,ö about a poor Gypsy family; Calin Peter NetzerÆs ōChildÆs Pose,ö which highlights corruption in Romania; and Malgoska SzumowskaÆs ōIn the name of,ö a film about a gay priest in Poland.
French actresses Juliette Binoche, Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert all star in separate competition entries this year Ś Binoche in ōCamille Claudel 1915,ö about the French sculptorÆs later years; Deneuve in ōOn My Way;ö and Huppert in ōThe Nun,ö a movie about a convent.
From Iran comes ōClosed Curtain,ö directed by dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi and fellow Iranian Kamboziya Partovi. Panahi was sentenced to house arrest in Iran and banned from filmmaking after being convicted in 2011 of ōmaking propagandaö against IranÆs ruling system. Festival director Dieter Kosslick said PanahiÆs no longer confined to his home but still isnÆt supposed to make films.
Kosslick said Monday that organizers ōtried to bring new people who are making films for the first or second time into the program,ö continuing a tradition of having less-heralded directors rub shoulders with established names. This year, thereÆs an entry from Kazakhstan Ś ōHarmony Lessons,ö directed by Emir Baigazin.
The top prize will be awarded by a seven-member jury under Chinese director Wong Kar-wai, whose members include actor-director Tim Robbins. WongÆs new movie about two kung fu masters, ōThe Grandmaster,ö is screening out of competition and will open the festival.
Last yearÆs Golden Bear went to ōCaesar Must Die,ö by ItalyÆs Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, which showed inmates of a high-security prison staging ShakespeareÆs ōJulius Caesar.ö

How to make a new function or change output with HTML?
Not sure if the title makes sense. Anyway here is what I am trying to do. The following function calls up the username and adds a link to the user profile. I am using this in my login script under the Avatar. I have navigation links in the same script and I want to add this function there as well, but I don't want the link title to be the "username"….I simply want it to say "Profile". How can I have both? I dont want to start changing a lot of stuff I am not sure about and make this not funnction, thanks! I can post the complete code if necessary.

Given his injury history and uneven play the last couple of seasons, it's easy to forget that Giguere has collected at least 30 wins in four seasons since the lockout. He was, lest people forget, the goaltender of record when the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup in 2007. At age 34, there should still be lots left in the tank, and, given the lack of durability for young netminder Semyon Varlamov -- the man tabbed by the Avs as their goaltender of the future -- Giguere could be asked to do a whole lot more than just offer mentoring and open the gate at the end of the bench.
Under the radar players set to make impact
I'm basically block quoting the couple of sentences on Jean-Sebastien Giguere. But, they surmise how I feel about one of my all time favorite goaltenders and his potential impact to my favorite team.

It's awful not to be loved; it's the worse thing in the world… It makes you mean and violent and cruel, and thats the way Cal has always felt all his life. I know you didn't mean it to be that way, but it's true. You never gave him your love, you never asked him for his… You have to give him some sign that you love him, or else he'll never be a man. He'll just keep on feeling guilty and alone until you release him.

1. Getting a sliver out of my RIGHT thumb.
2. Dealing with a not-working-AC yet again. Same symptoms as last time. I'm trying not to panic and assume the worst. Think about the tree, Roxie, think about the tree.
3. I sat straight up in bed over the weekend and realized I hadn't paid the homeowner insurance on Reata South in godonlyknows how long. All of my bills are on auto-pay and I don't think about them anymore. That particular bills is mailed out there on a quarterly basis and has no option for auto-pay - which is just often enough for me to fuggetaboutit. I shot off two electronic payments but I need to follow up with them today. Oh, how I do hate this kind of business - especially when it's my own dumbassery. Dear Residents of Reata South, When I ask you to tell me when I get any mail out there, please do so! I just need to find out if I can get the bill sent here without changing the policy to a landlord policy, as it is not rental property, but I don't live there. My umbrella-liability-insurance agent has it covered as my property, but that policy would have to change, should it become income producing. Sheesh.
4. Today my first day of my Vietnam history class and the A/C people are supposed to call me between 10 and 2. What are the odds that they call between 11 and 12? We shall see.
5. No biking over the weekend. I just wasn't feeling it. Don't know why, but I wasn't. My riding buddies bailed for various and sundry reasons, so I just stayed home and worked in the yard. I'm sort of glad about it, as I heard there was a pretty gruesome suicide discovered out there just about the time I would have been riding through, had I chosen to go solo. I am thankful that I missed being there for that discovery.
6. Trying to function on about half of the sleep I need. Loss of the AC on Saturday night didn't help. At least last night was cool. My hope is that they get this puppy fixed today.
Thus ends the whining and griping for today.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Don't panic.

I hate those sit straight up in the middle of the night moments. My sympathies.ReplyDelete
I say yes you can have the bill mailed to another address. My former boss owned properties in several places but all the bills, including insurances, came to his office.
I echo Helen. As of right now I am having all of my grandmother's mail/bills sent to me as I am her POA.ReplyDelete
You know those, "Keep calm and carry on" posters? I saw one the other day that made me laugh out loud: "Now panic and freak out." ;-)
"Think about the tree" could be a nice mantra! A/C issues suck and have sent me into a massive panic before. It's bad enough to think about the potential cost, but you're hot, sweaty and uncomfortable on top of that. Hope it's very very minor.ReplyDelete

February 26, 2008
Clyattville - Many people in southern Lowndes County are still without power because of the storms.
The southern part of the county took the biggest hit with uprooted trees and downed power lines.
People in Clyattville think a tornado hit their town. Mollie Danner was home sick when she heard the tornado. "It was sort of a roar, but it was just so many twisting and screeching and I think it was pine limbs twisting."
It sent a massive pine tree crashing into her Clyattville home. "One of our huge pine trees fell across our two end bedrooms and the front bath and porch," she says.
Her home was hit the worst, but the church where she preaches wasn't much better.
Uprooted trees knocked holes in the roof, flooding the inside with water. "Our organ is wet and our pews are cloth and our carpet in the sanctuary and all the ceiling tiles are wet and beginning to get heavy like there might be water in them."
The Clyattville United Methodist Church is just one of nearly 30 areas around the county damaged by the storm.
"Some of these are trees across roads, trees that are just in the right of way that may pose a danger. We do have more trees on homes then we would like but as I said before, we have not had any injuries reported," says Paige Dukes of the Lowndes County Commission Office.
But as more people come home, that number could climb. "Probably through tomorrow as people get home from work tonight, there will probably be some damage that needs to be assessed but hopefully by the end of the week we'll be done," Dukes adds.
Despite the mess, Danner says the storm won't rain on her Sunday services. "Oh! There will be church on Sunday! Even if it's outside."
She'll now team up with the rest of the town to clean-up the mess and move on.

THEN: Oritani Theater
NOW: A dress store and a travel service
Erected in 1926, the Oritani — named for Oritam, chief of the Achkinheskcy Indian tribe in the 17th century — quickly became a local landmark. It showed Will Rogers movies in the 1930s, Betty Grable movies in the 1940s and, yes, from 1977 to 1979 it even offered midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

Justin Roberts plays the Irenic on Saturday night.
I know it's been scorching in San Diego, and sometimes all you want to do is go to the beach or lay around with a fan in your face or blaring your window-mounted air conditioner, but today and tonight, there's so much going on in town that it would be a shame to stay home. Parents can kick off the day with a concert for their kids: For the first time ever, the Casbah is presenting a kids show at the Irenic. Yes, there have been all-ages shows, but this one, featuring Justin Roberts & the Not Ready For Naptime Players, is specifically designed for kids. With nine albums under his belt, the latest called Recess, the band plays music that kids enjoy without making their parents crazy. Later in the day, celebrate Cassette Store Day at M-Theory with Monochromacy and Bonsoir. By night, Murder By Death headlines the Casbah, The Tree Ring headline at the Irenic, and the crazy pirates of the Dread Crew of Oddwood spread their shanty love at the Soda Bar.

Gay song, gay video, gay singer - hugging, threesomes, drag queen, THE WORKS.
Say hello to Yehonathan: (NB: It is technically 'Safe For Work', though it's about as racy as you can get without showing anything that would need lube)
We didn't know much about Yehonathan until about 3 minutes and 14 seconds ago, but we've found out he has an English language album called My Turn (greedy!) which you can find on his website, http://yehonathan.com. And he does like a roll around with the mens in most of his videos. Topless, obviously. We might rename Wednesdays* to YehonathanDay and show one every week.
* We wrote this blog on tuesday and put wednesday, but you might actually read this on wednesday anyway, so just pick a day a we'll call it quits, yeah? x
Not only Yehonathan is the only hot and openly gay in Israel. Try Ivri Lider (video to song Bo, or Jesse, Aluf Olam and many others) or Amir Faye Guttman (hot video Margish). ;) that's whh I love Israel :)

Well, at least a few folks seem to think the Sox have a chance. From bullz-eye.com , http://www.bullz-eye.com/sports/features/2010/mlb_preview.htm posted by Anthony Statler. For his 2010 MLB preview, he writes about what he considers the 5 teams that didn't make the playoffs last year that have the best shot at it this year. He picks the White Sox at #1 with some sound reasoning behind it.
He also picks the South Siders to win the division and even make the WS in one scenario.

vacation rental description
Understated but charming, with excellent proportions, your main living area at Cinnamon Beach's condo 831 is airy, open-plan and very inviting. The ocean view - so fantastic you might think you could step from your balcony and walk on water - is unending. Sleeping 8 people in total, this large condo has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms - no one will be asked to share!
Cinnamon Beach 831 is perfect for family vacations - no matter what shape or size your family. The resort's secure, gated property provides teenagers with great freedom - while you enjoy peace of mind. A very comfortable, yet luxurious, unit provides harmonious furnishings that create a feeling of home and peace.
Nowhere is more relaxing than your oceanfront balcony. This large space will immediately become your family's outdoor living room. It's a great spot to play Scrabble with your children or grandkids. At Cinnamon Beach, al fresco vacations are the perfect default.
Inside, watch a movie or a crucial ball game stretched on your comfortable couches. Or just put your feet up and absorb a stack of your favorite magazines. (After all, you've earned it after an exhausting day at the pool!) Should you prefer to dine at the indoor dining table, you'll love the colorful, fun atmosphere - with a great view of the ocean.
Your gorgeous and very well-equipped full kitchen may inspire creativity - perhaps making you wish you packed your recipe books. No need! Just Google your favorite chef, as the unit is wired for high-speed cable Internet.
You're invited to unwind and to feel truly at home during your stay. Some guests choose to enhance their stay and to pack comforts close to their hearts - like their waffle iron! By all means, have waffles ever tasted better than when eaten perched above the Atlantic Ocean? Unlikely.
After another long, perfect day, retire to your master suite - decorated more finely than many 5-star hotels. Within, the ocean view is a rather tasty add-on. Throw the windows wide and enjoy the ocean air while curling into your pillow-top king-sized bed. You can enjoy the sunrise without moving a muscle, though the beach is a minute's walk if you feel intrepid.
This is a unit whose owners take great care in their guests' comfort. Recent additions include a brand new 37" HDTV, and a one-off local info guide will direct you to the owners' favorite local restaurants and attractions. Packed with tips and insider knowledge - your perfect vacation is all set, ready and waiting.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
first of all, they look like clown shoes, I got over that because of the cushioning. They are amazing for how they soak up bumps. My problem with them is the upper as way to padded and doesn't breath. My feet were getting the tingling feeling of circulation being cut off. I hoped a little break in would alleviate this but sadly it didn't. I'm going to exchange these for a pair of Stinson ATRs.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
These are a make over of the original Combo xt/StinsonB. The sole is a harder material and take longer to get used to. I wear a 9.5 normal shoe but wear 10.5 to 11.0 in any running shoe for a bigger toe box.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
I love this shoe. It is as they say like running on clouds. I really hope the new owners of Hoka make more of this shoe. It seems like they are making their new styles with less cushioning. You would think they would realize what has made Hoka One Ones popular. This shoe is a dream to run in. I feel really fortunate to have tried a pair of these. It is even making my knees and ankle sprain feel better. I love this shoe!!! Everything people have said positive about it are an understatement on how great it is!

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
A little slow to break in, a little stiff but feel that it may be the answer to my problems. It DOES push you into a mid foot stance, like minimal shoes, yet is very protective. It will proabaly be THE shoe for me for long runs.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
Just ran the Wasatch 100, the first 52 miles in Mafate 2, the last 48 in the new Mafate 3. The 3 is heavier, but does feel more sturdy and sure on the uneven surfaces. The height still takes some adjustment, and the tendency to roll on slanting terrain is a compromise, BUT after finishing my third century run this year, I could not do it without the cushion and stability of Hokas. They rock the downhill and don't limit the climbs, but require a learning curve to adjust to being so tall. The Mafate 3 tried side by side with the predecessor were amazing, we'll see how long they last before they need to be replaced. The Mafate 2 usually had critical failures with about 250-300 miles of hard use. Great shoe for me.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
Had to return the product. Even at one size larger the toe box pushes on top of the toes so they are very bad for downhill running on mountains which is what they are designed to do. I did not like the return policy which is only for credit and not a refund. This will be my last purchase until this policy changes.

Comments about Mens Hoka One One MAFATE 3 Trail Running Shoe:
Super comfortable like running on pillows. Takes a few miles to get used too but once you do you'll notice the difference. Probably the most hideous shoe I've ever purchased but who cares when they perform so well out of the box. Two big thumbs up!!!!

I'd like to talk a big game about how awesome I am, but I'm not… yet. I'm excited for tonight, even if Martin does wipe the floor with me.
It's funny to see this photo of me resurface on the interwebz. It's been over a year since this, and things are unbelievably different.
When I originally posted this, I was 50% curious to pick up magic and 50% trying desperately to make some lame nerd boy lose his shit over me. In the end I picked up some creepy tumblr followers (though to be fair, that was the intent, no?) and some pretty cool ones. I didn't get that guy.
I did however learn to play MTG. And you know what? I'm alright! I wouldn't say I'm a superstar, but I'm better than Martin by a long-shot. What's even funnier is that the deck in my hands no longer exists in any form. It has been ripped apart and it's red/green glory has since been replaced with an excellent white human deck.
Even better is that just a few weeks later I stumbled onto the man of my dreams. My mild interest motivated him to rekindle his love for the game and start playing again. He has since taught me how to play, actually play, and has built me some great decks. Though he almost always beats me with his infect deck. He respects me and treats me like a princess all the same. He far exceeds what I wanted that other boy to be. We've been together now for a year and not a single moment has passed where I wished he was anything but my Calvin.
So here's to this picture and to Magic. It helped bring together a beautiful relationship that changed my life for the better.

What a hoot!
Today I took a vacation day from work, and I did my monthly treasure hunting in the afternoon. It really was a perfect day for doing outdoor activities... I didn't really need" anything (but hey, we don't always buy something just because we really need it), but I ended up with this cute owl family. They are pretty small and they are made of metal. Actually I've been eyeing them since 4 months ago, and every month when the shop opens (the store only opens during the first Friday weekend each month), I wanted to get them but never did. But I couldn't take it anymore so I finally got them today...
And now, after I proudly displayed my owls in the living room, it's time for me to do more great outdoor activities: sweeping my front yard and picking up leaves...sign...

Monroe Regional Airport was NOT on that list. The only Louisiana airport to be closed in this move was the smaller airport in Shreveport. There were a number in the Arklamiss, though.
In Arkansas, two towers will close: Texarkana Regional and Drake Field in Fayetteville.
Mississippi was hardest hit, losing 5 towers: Stennis in Bay St. Louis, MidDelta in Greenville, Hawkins Field in Jackson, the Olive Branch field, and Tupelo Regional.

The vast majority of Winnipeggers want the democratic right to vote on Phase 2 of Bus Rapid Transit, according to a Probe Research poll conducted this month.
And if a referendum were held, a majority of Winnipeggers would vote against it, the poll found.
I wonder what the results would have been if politicians like mayor Sam Katz and Coun. Jenny Gerbasi actually told taxpayers the truth about this project — that the P3 Canada Fund money earmarked for it would not be lost if spent on other infrastructure and that the city has no evidence whatsoever that BRT, as proposed, would do anything to increase ridership.
If city council came clean with the public on those facts, the poll numbers in opposition to this hare-brained project would be even higher.
According to the poll, 71% of respondents want a referendum on BRT. In fact, many of those who support the project still believe taxpayers have a democratic right to vote on it.
If a plebiscite were held today, 53% would vote against BRT as it's currently planned, the poll suggests. It's interesting that people living in the core area of Winnipeg — who rely on transit the most — were slightly more inclined to vote against the BRT plan than the city overall.
And it's not just high-income people who drive expensive vehicles and who never take transit who said they were opposed to the city's BRT plan.
Some 58% of those earning less than $30,000 said they were not in favour of the BRT plan as currently proposed. That compares to 42% of those earning $30,000 to $99,000 and 43% among those earning over $100,000 a year, the poll found.
University students and those living in southwest Winnipeg were more inclined to support the BRT plan.
If this city had an honest debate about BRT, the "No" side would rise even further. Because if the facts about this project were released and honestly debated, more people would come to the logical conclusion that this is one of the biggest capital project guffaws this city has ever seen.
Imagine spending $590 million on a transit project that will do nothing to increase ridership and will do very little, if anything, to increase the travel times of commuters?
It's incredible council has approved such a plan in the face of that information. But the reality of this project is that it's proceeding for psychological reasons, not for rational, evidence-based ones. It's proceeding because it's political fashion for politicians like Gerbasi who embrace something like BRT, no matter how poorly conceived and designed.

Winnipeggers want a vote on BRTTom Brodbeck - June 24th, 2014
The vast majority of Winnipeggers want the democratic right to vote on Phase 2 of Bus Rapid Transit, according to a Probe Research poll conducted this month.
Lame-duck mayor is lying about BRT moneyTom Brodbeck - June 23rd, 2014
Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz is lying to the public when he says P3 funding from the federal and provincial governments earmarked for Bus Rapid Transit would be lost if it doesn't go into BRT.
It's simply not true.
But this is the argument the lame-duck mayor is trotting out in response to anyone who says the $590 million city council wants to spend on Phase 2 of BRT should go into the city's crumbling infrastructure instead.
Some of the more level heads in this city are questioning why we're building a rapid transit corridor with questionable to no benefits when the infrastructure we already have is falling apart. It's like putting a pool in your backyard when the roof of your home has holes in it and your basement foundation is leaking.
Katz says the $365 million that could be coming from the province and Ottawa for BRT would be unavailable for anything else — including street maintenance — if it's not spent on BRT.
"Let me make it very clear … the $225 million from the provincial government and hopefully $140 million from federal government are for this project only and no other project whatsoever," Katz said at a council meeting in late May. "If we don't use it for this project, you can wave goodbye to that money."
Actually, Katz is dead wrong. Under the federal P3 Canada Fund, local governments can use the infrastructure funding for a wide range of projects, including local roads, airport upgrades, broadband support, solid waste management and transit, to name a few.
Here is one of the categories P3 Canada Fund money can be spent on:
11. Local Road Infrastructure
i) Additional capacity and rehabilitation of roads within a municipal boundary, and high-occupancy and/or transit vehicle lanes, grade separations, interchange structures, bridges, tunnels, intersections, and roundabouts. Where provinces or territories act as a local government, or where there is a governing entity that is established by a province or territory, such projects are eligible
ii) Infrastructure pursuant to compliance with accessibility, such as wheel chair let down
iii) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
iv) Active transportation projects, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, pedestrian/bike/multi-use pathways as a component of a larger project
v) Rehabilitation of bridges and major elevated or depressed structures (except those on the core National Highway System which are eligible under the National Highway System Category)
Note: Rehabilitation projects must meet the definition of 'rehabilitation' as agreed upon by the Council of Ministers responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety in 2005.
So Katz is wrong when he says the money would be lost if it wasn't spent on BRT. He knows that but he's deliberately not telling the public the truth. After 10 years in office, it's become abundantly clear that openness and transparency has not been one of Katz's strengths. It's one of the reasons he has plummeted in the polls and has become unelectable, which is why he's not running again.
The bottom line is P3 funding can be used for a wide variety of infrastructure projects and Ottawa has left it up to local governments to decide how best to spend their share. If Winnipeg and the province want to spend their share on fixing the city's crumbling infrastructure, they can.
Oswald accuses Pallister of being anti-womenTom Brodbeck - June 11th, 2014
Jobs and Economy Minister Theresa Oswald accused Tory leader Brian Pallister this week of making disparaging comments about women behind their backs, and suggesting he doesn't care about the rights of gays and lesbians.
It occurred Monday afternoon during an Opposition Day motion on a proposed tax-hike commission which the Selinger government opposed.
Oswald, while speaking to the motion, began attacking Pallister personally, saying he pretends to care about women but then cuts them down in the "backrooms."
"It's the same thing as when he stands in the House and purports to care about women but in the backrooms he makes snide and demeaning comments about them," said Oswald of the Pallister, a father of two girls. "And, in fact, he expresses his opinion that he does not support a woman's right to choose — that is not leadership, that is pretending."
Wow. Where did all this come from?
NDP Minister Theresa Oswald says Brian Pallister makes "snide comments" about women behind their backs.
Oswald went on to suggest Pallister is opposed to the rights of gay and lesbian kids because he didn't vote in favour of NDP legislation that forces schools to support groups that want to form gay-straight alliance clubs.
"It is exactly the same, I would purport, as coming into the House wearing a jaunty pink tie and then one minute later making the decision to vote against the rights of gay and lesbian kids," Oswald said of Pallister. "This is not leadership; this is pretending."
Oswald went on a further rant, even though she was supposed to be speaking to the tax-hike commission motion.
"You cannot, as a leader or, in fact, as an elected official, in my humble view, pretend when you're out in public that you care about people, to say things like, it's okay–it's okay that I voted against the rights of gay and lesbian kids, " said Oswald. "It's okay because I phoned Evan Wiens, so it's fine, everything's okay — I wore a pink tie today and I phoned Evan Wiens, so don't worry, everything is just jim-dandy.
Evans Wiens was the 17-year old Steinbach student who told the story last year of how he was bullied in school for being gay.
So, is this the Selinger government's new political strategy? To accuse the leader of the Opposition of being anti-women and anti-gay? I suppose they believe if they say it often enough — like firing 1,000 nurses or 700 teachers — they hope people will eventually believe it.
This one is pretty low, though. I thought a little more of Theresa than that.

Selby should read this letterTom Brodbeck - March 28th, 2014
In response to my Friday column on Health Minister Erin Selby's comment's about the tragic deaths of 12 infants in the pediatric cardiology surgical program at HSC in the 1990s, Donald Epp offers some great insight into the issue.
Here's his letter:
Good Morning,
It was with great shock and dismay that I read your article this morning regarding the uneducated comments from the Minister of Health and her reference to the Manitoba Pediatric Cardiology Inquest. It is quite clear that Minister needs a history lesson and to gain an understanding of what has occurred in health care since the 90's when this inquest took place.
I want to make a clarification to your article. You refer to the "pediatric surgical deaths" which is not completely accurate. This was part of the pediatric "cardiology" surgical program which, as a result of the deaths and Judge Sinclair's report, the cardiac surgery program was terminated in Winnipeg. It would seem that this is a dark stain on the history of the pediatric cardiac program but in reality it was a "wake up" call which spurred several individuals into action and resulted in a pediatric cardiology program here in Winnipeg that is a model of Family Centred Care and a god-send to families unfortunate enough to deal with life threatening cardiac issues in their children. The Variety Children's Heart Centre is a very unique group of physicians, nurses, and allied health.
My family is one of those families unfortunate enough to have cardiac issues. My son was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect at the age of three weeks and we have been a frequent visitor to Variety and Children's Hospital ever since. Our experience there has been like no other experience we have had in health care where we as parents are treated as equal partners in our son's health care. One of the most positive results of the pediatric cardiology inquest was the participation of Winnipeg Children's Hospital in the Western Canadian Children's Heart Network which has allowed Manitoba children the opportunity to be treated by the very best Doctors available in Western Canada. We are given choices. Our son has had surgery in Edmonton at the Stollery Children's Hospital but if we chose we have been given the option to send him to SickKids in Toronto or even the Mayo Clinic. Because surgical services are not offered in Manitoba we are sent to the best Doctors out there. In the words of our Cardiologist it is simply a matter of a plane ticket, and if you have to go out of province why would you not go to a specialist who has the best reputation and the highest success rate. Imagine the concept of having choice in "our" medical system. The other huge improvement that has been made in the pediatric cardiology program is that we now have 4 pediatric cardiologists in this province. In the summer of 2008, there was only one cardiologist for all of the children of Manitoba. I cannot even imagine what that was like. Since that time 3 other cardiologists have joined our program and, not to be overly biased, I would say the program is thriving. Since 2009, the pediatric heart catheterization program has restarted, which was discontinued as a result of the inquest. There is also construction currently underway to build a new operating theater for heart caths and also a facility to do pediatric cardiac MRI. These are huge advancements for the program. Imagine a "good news" story in Manitoba Health Care. I would say the provincial government could take credit for this success but in my opinion these successes have been achieved in spite of government interference. Pediatric Cardiology in Manitoba is still talked about in "hushed" tones in government circles;recalling the issues of the mid 90's. I wish some of the politicians and bureaucrats could take a critical look at was has been going on with pediatric cardiology. They are now a model which could be emulated by so many other programs. They actively engage families in the care of their children, they demonstrate a very open and caring environment, and most importantly are effective advocates for our children. They seek out the very best care for our kids whether that be in Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, or Rochester.
What frustrates me beyond belief is how a politician, a cabinet minister no less, can use a judicial inquest and the death of children to score political points. She has no idea what caring individuals can accomplish if given an opportunity. It is time that we start thinking very differently about how we deliver health care in this province and in this country. Perhaps, looking at the success of what a small clinic that is housed in the Community Services Building on William Ave can accomplish. I could introduce you to several of those successes; starting with my son.
Personally, I would like to thank Justice Sinclair and the many participants in the Pediatric Cardiology Inquest. I would especially like to thank and express condolences to families who lost their children in the early 90's. It is this inquest that sparked a handful of people to carry on caring for pediatric cardiology patients under adverse conditions. These people laid the groundwork for a resurgent program that I am so proud to be a part of to this day. What do you say to the people who saved your son's life? The Minister of Health needs to become part of the solution and not continuing to be part of the problem by dredging up ancient history which she does not understand.

The website also reported a 300 percent increase in sales in the first half of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001.
Howard Lefkowitz, VEGAS.com president, said more than 10 million VEGAS.com pages are viewed monthly, with an average of 9.1 pages viewed per visitor. Visitors to VEGAS.com viewed more pages during the average visit than did visitors to well-known sites like Priceline and Hotels.com, VEGAS.com reported.
VEGAS.com is owned by the Greenspun family, which also owns the Las Vegas Sun.
Lasvegas.com, a competing tourism-oriented site owned by Stephens Media Group and controlled by Mandalay Resort Group and Park Place Entertainment Corp., was also part of the survey but wasn't listed among the top sites, Lefkowitz said.
The report by comScore analyzed site traffic among Las Vegas-oriented sites, national and international city sites and all of the largest national e-commerce sites for travel.
Lefkowitz cited an overall increase in hotel, air, package, tour, golf and show sales as reasons for the 300 percent increase in sales for the first half of the year. VEGAS.com did not release actual revenue figures.
"Significant sales increases show that being the 'stickiest' site has tremendous value and that the VEGAS.com commitment to content translates into cash," Lefkowitz said, adding VEGAS.com is one of the few profitable city sites in the United States.
Lefkowitz said VEGAS.com's success also assists its partners. The website is the second-highest seller of America West Airlines travel products and ranks in the top 10 for hotel sales through HRN (Hotel Reservations Network).
"This demonstrates the strength of our relationships and marketing capabilities," Lefkowitz said.

Little has changed since the March Joint Powers Authority approved development of March LifeCare almost three years ago.
There still are no patients and no buildings for them at the former March Air Force Base. The 144-acre March LifeCare medical complex had been billed as being just around the bend when it was approved in April 2010.
The project's developer, Donald Ecker, had said publicly that he expected people to be treated at a clinic or medical office before the end of 2011.
Moreno Valley residents and a former official believe the project could be stopped now that the JPA has new members.
Last week, Moreno Valley Mayor Tom Owings appointed himself and Councilman Marcelo Co to the JPA, removing longtime member Councilman Richard Stewart. Co replaced former Councilman Bill Batey, who also had been a JPA member for several years.
Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries also will replace former supervisor Bob Buster. The new JPA will hold its first meeting Wednesday, Jan. 16.
Stewart and Batey approved the March Lifecare project, which will be up for discussion this year.
In 2012, March Healthcare Development company paid the JPA $400,000 to give him more time in his development agreement, through April 2013, to sell his first piece of property to someone to develop. If he needs still another year, it will cost him $412,000.
Meanwhile, Lori Stone, the authority's executive director, said Ecker has complied with all of his agreements.
I was among the reporters who followed March Healthcare Development's proposed project as it made its way through approval. We asked Stone if the developer could switch plans and build something else once the project was approved.
Stone told us that the development agreement prevented that from happening. She also said that it had been determined that the area where March LifeCare is to go on the former base's northeast side should have a medical/health care use.
At this week's meeting, members are to receive a planning update and a JPA overview, according to the agenda.

Today's Kindle Daily Deal — Friday, May 11 –Two Great Reads for 99 Cents each — Save 89% on Mara Purl's Milford-Haven Novel WHAT THE HEART KNOWS, plus … Don't miss Kerri Wood Thomson's DIARY OF A PUBLIC RADIO SLAVE (Today's Sponsor)
But first, a word from … Today's Sponsor
Diary of a Public Radio Slave
Here's the set-up:
When Sloan Kennedy is handed a pink slip from her employer and her fiancé, she has to find a way to pay the mortgage on a new house and cancel all of her wedding plans. After a minor breakdown (she allows herself a week long pity party), Sloan applies for an administrative assistant position at the local Public Radio station. The position is a step down from her former job as an announcer, but Sloan is desperate, and at least it's in broadcasting.
While filling out the application Sloan meets Horg (his goth name), a student employee, who is perfecting his British accent, with hopes of one day working for the BBC. Also lurking in the lobby is Gladys, the station's 85-year-old busy body. Gladys has worked at the radio station since War Of The Worlds was broadcast, and she knows all the gossip regarding the station's employees and volunteers. Marjorie, the Fundraising Director, interviews Sloan, in a cluttered conference room, disappearing at one point to blend herself a wheat-grass smoothie. Marjorie hires Sloan, and promptly disappears, leaving Sloan to get accustomed to her new job on the front lines of a public radio station. Sloan quickly realizes that while the majority of her new coworkers, and many of the radio station's listeners are bizarre, her new boss Marjorie is her nemesis. Gladys describes Marjorie as "flakier than a bowl full of dandruff" and the description is accurate. During a marketing campaign gone awry, Marjorie designs jumbo postcards to be mailed to all the listeners, but instead of highlighting public radio listener's superb intellect with the slogan "Survival of the Fittest" the postcards are mailed out proclaiming "Survival of the Fattest." Sloan is left to deal with the backlash of phone calls from irate listeners.
The station is gearing up for a pledge drive, which will include a visit by Sebastian Kohler, a preeminent public radio personality, ala Garrison Keeler. While Sloan navigates the daily duties of an administrative assistant (making vats of coffee and answering the recurring question, "Who is in the bathroom?") she must also deal with the delicate psyches of her coworkers and locate all the items on Mr. Kohler's Green Room list, including a specialty breathe mint, rumored to help squelch Mr. Kohler's notorious halitosis.
Amidst a blizzard the pledge drive begins. While it's bitterly cold outside, too cold for many of the decrepit volunteers to venture out of their homes to answer phones, inside the station it's sweltering. The heater has gone on the fritz, forcing staff to strip down to long johns and tube tops. Cliff, the station engineer, who still hasn't learned how to send an email, is no help in remedying the problem and can typically be found napping on the lobby carpet. The only person not sweating is Vivienne, the germophobic office accountant/announcer, who despises anyone sharing her air space, but especially Marjorie.
Marjorie and Vivienne quickly lock horns over the color of paper used in the printer, causing a tense show-down. And on the day that Mr. Kohler arrives, with a line of fans stretching around the building, tension between Marjorie and Vivienne boils over and the two grown women lock themselves in a bathroom together, refusing to come out. It's a stand-off that leaves Mr. Kohler unattended, and no one to interview him. Knowing that she could lose her job, but determined that the show must go on, Sloan takes charge, going on-air to interview Sebastian about his latest book.

Leftist 'Consumer Interest' Groups Are Only Interested in Big Government
Editor's Note: This first appeared in BigGovernment.com.
We have oft discussed the Orwellian manner Leftists do, well, everything.
And specifically how they go about naming their gaggles – the groups they form to advance their Leftist agenda.
The Media Marxists looking to eradicate all private ownership of news and communications – so as to have the government be your sole provider of news and communications – are a part of the Leftist misdirection that calls themselves "public interest" or "consumer interest" groups.
What could be better – and less innocuous – then that?
Just about everything.
As far as the "consumer interest" – let's rationally examine who has a real stake in it.
Is it the Media Marxist groups – who represent no one and nothing save for a shaved shard of a pro-government, free market-loathing constituency consisting almost exclusively of themselves?
Or is it the media companies – who seek to everyday deliver whatever it is the most consumers possible are interested in? So as to entice these consumers to hire, watch, listen to and read them?
Obviously, it is the latter.
Consumers get to choose which companies in which they are most interested. If you want to, for instance, make cellular telephone calls, you can choose Sprint. Or AT&T. Or Verizon. Or Cricket. Or US Cellular. Or Metro PCS. Or Tracfone. Or Boost Mobile. Or Virgin Mobile. Or….
You get the idea.
All of these companies would like to have more consumers – i.e. customers. So (if they're smart) they spend every waking moment – and many of their unwaking ones – devising ways to best meet these consumers' interest – so as to get them to choose their respective companies.
And spending hundreds of billions of job-producing, networks-expanding, quantity-and-quality-improving dollars in the process.
This outlook and approach is true of every (smart) media company. Indeed, of every company. On Planet Earth.
On these day-in, day-out all-encompassing drives to deliver the consumers' interest – the Media Marxists are a glaringly alien life form.
An unaffiliated, unassimilated, uninvited obtrusive guest who crashes the party and then demands that every one stop having their free market fun – and do it their Big Government, mucho regulation, Marxist way.
Like showing up at a frat house keg party and demanding everyone stop and play Pictionary. Only much, much worse.
They spend zero time engaged in any activity that would help them glean the consumers' interest. Truth be told, they most likely couldn't care less in what consumers are interested.
Especially so because the consumers' interest so very rarely lines up with theirs – growing the government's role in media and communications.
The Media Marxists are here to impose their myriad Big Government "solutions" to mostly non-existent problems. Both the "problems" and their alleged "solutions" having been cooked up in college faculty lounges and warped Leftist "think" tanks.
No one outside of these fevered, finite corridors is at all interested.
How do we know this?
The consumers have spoken.
There is a… poll out that shows an overwhelming majority of the consumers Free Press and Co. are claiming to be helping – don't want their help. 75% of Americans like the Internet just the way it is – no "saving" necessary. And 57% think the federal government should not regulate the Internet at all.
And of the 31% who think the government should regulate the Internet, more than two-thirds of them said that the regulation should be focused on privacy, online safety and protecting.
Doing the math, that means less than 10% of Americans think the government should be regulating the Internet to the tune of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reclassification and Network Neutrality.
We need only look at the last election to see this in action. 95 Democrat candidates signed a Media Marxist-loved pro-Network Neutrality pledge – and all 95 lost.
The "public interest" is best served by what the public is interested in.
And the public – the consumers, the people – aren't at all interested in what Free Press, Public Knowledge and Media Access Project have to offer.
Will this Party of None status stop these Media Marxists from incessantly haranguing the rest of us with their terrible and terribly unpopular policy prescriptions?

An aside here
Submitted by DontFeedTheTrolls on Tue, 05/31/2011 - 9:49am.
Another 'consumer interest' group that really doesn't care what consumers want is Consumer Reports magazine. I have been a member for many years but will not renew this year because they have turned into 'green' advocates and damn the consumer. They don't embrace choice in products like light bulbs, clothes washers, etc., they clearly embrace government regulation of all things consumer.
I will embrace the choice not to renew and will access it through my library, since my taxes pay for it.

I stopped long ago. They were always quick with their commie & regulatory commentary. Must be much worse now as that was 10+ years ago.
IMO, product standards should be set up by private industry participating boards & NOT the government. Companies can participate or not. The consumer can choose if they want an "approved" product or not.
-- Maximusbraveheart -- Is TRUTH knowable? Moral Relativism is the abandonment of Truth. Truth is knowable. Truth conforms to Reality. Reality is observable by evidence & witness in this day & from history. Relativism is Sesame Street play land.

Had a lovely time. Would highly recomend the place.
We did not have any issues and were really happy with Home from Home and will definitely be using you again. It was very nice to be located near such lovely buildings such as the Natural History Museum and Harrods. We loved all the little cafes that where dotted around, we were never short of somewhere to grab lunch!
Joe Dones
We had a lovely trip and a great stay in this property. It was great to be so close to kings road were we managed to do a lot of shopping and grab some lunch. The property itself was great. However we had a small problem with the toilet flush, which was sorted quickly after you sent a lovely man over to take a look. Thank You.

History of The Charles H. Kerr Company Records
The Charles H. Kerr Company, founded in Chicago in 1886 by Charles Hope Kerr, is the oldest labor and socialist publishing house in the United States. It is best known for its editions of radical classics; it was the first publisher to bring out the three volumes of Karl Marx's Das Kapital in English, and published the International Socialist Review since its inception in 1900. Other authors whose books or contributions were published by Kerr include such well-known radical and socialist thinkers as Eugene Debs, Mother Jones, Jack London, Mary E. Marcy, Joe Hill, Clarence Darrow, Sen Katayama, Antonio Labriola, V.I. Lenin, Friedrich Engels, Leon Trotsky, Carl Sandburg, Ralph Chaplin, and Arturo M. Giovannitti.
Charles H. Kerr began his career in publishing in 1883 as an assistant editor and business manager for Unity, a monthly journal for the Western Unitarian Conference. By 1886, the interests of the Unity venture were transferred to the brand new Charles H. Kerr & Company. The new company expanded in the 1880's and 1890's to include the publication of other Unitarian-related literature, and expanded yet again at the turn of the century to start publishing populist, reform, socialist, communist, and other radical literature. When Charles Kerr retired in 1928 he left the company to be handled by John Keracher, who had been a Kerr Company board member since 1924, had been active in the past in socialist, communist, and Marxist organizations, and who was also one of the founders of the Proletarian Party. Keracher combined offices of the Kerr Company and of the Proletarian Party, and that practice was continued by his successor, Al Wysocki, when he assumed the management around 1953. The company nearly went out of existence in the late 1960's, and due to Wysocki's age and failing health, he transferred the company over to four men in 1971: Fred Thompson, Burton Rosen, Virgil Vogel, and Irving Abrams. Virgil Vogel resigned in 1973, and Joe Giganti replaced him. Burton Rosen, who was secretary and did the bulk of the day-to-day operations and office tasks, retired in 1983 and handed over operations and management to Franklin and Penelope Rosemont, who run the company to this day.
Return to the Table of Contents
Scope and Content of the Collection
Author contracts and manuscripts, correspondence, minutes of stockholder and board of directors' meetings, subscription lists, book order information, stockholder information, photographs, clippings, printed material, and some artwork. Notable pre-1920 records include photographs (many published in the International Socialist Review) of well-known radicals, and of strike activity mainly in the United States.
The Proletarian Party's and Kerr Company's records were searched by U.S. government agencies during the Palmer Raids of 1918-1921, and it is believed that many records were seized or destroyed at that time. The fate of the majority of records during the 1930's and early to mid-1940's is undetermined; the remaining records sold to the Newberry are primarily dating from the late 1940's forward.
Narrative descriptions of the subject matter, types of material, and arrangement of each series are available through the Organization section of the finding aid.

Why Lose it All? #Justin Bieber
Loyal fans will stand by their man. Compare it to a savings account. Bieber made many positive deposits to his image account with hit songs, trend-setting hair styles, good looks, amped up social media communication and once being a reliably good person. Here's a guy that stayed humble and loyal to his fans by performing even when he was sick… Now he is making regular withdrawals from his good will savings account by egging a neighbor causing $20K in damage. And, in case you missed the non-stop headlines, he is also drinking, drugging, speeding recklessly thru private neighborhoods endangering the lives of the residents, urinating on public property, shouting demeaning remarks at innocent people and generally showing no trace of the respectable talent we once knew. What happened?
Good Morning America reported this morning that 72% of Americans polled want Bieber deported back to his home country of Canada. There is also the WhiteHouse.gov petition that has 170K signatures wanting him deported. At 100K signatures the White House is required to respond. Everyone knows that, of course, Bieber will not be deported. But, the voices of disapproval are being heard.
I think the good news is that public opinion is creating consequences for bad behavior. Particularly in a country where the rules for the rich and/or famous are not the same rules used for everyone else. Consequences will undoubtedly be the strongest factor that potentially turns Bieber's destructive behavior around and also the absence of them the explanation for its original cause. Who knows what all is going in in his mind. He is human too. But, with 49.1M Twitter followers and adoring fans everywhere he goes regardless of what he does, the message that being a jerk is not appreciated could easily get lost.

Stepping Stones helps close to 70,000 disabled individuals over the age of five living in their service area. The organization helps them focus on there abilities, not their disabilities.
The annual Stepping Stones Arts Festival allows children to work on their cognitive and motor skills.
Tie-dying is just one of the activities that help children with disabilities focus. Stepping Stones includes dozens of different events at the arts festival for students, including those from South Middle School, to participate in.
"This is one of the highlights of the year," said Jamie Knotts, a Special Educator at South Middle School. "My students absolutely love coming here. I work with 9 different students with all ability levels so we can find activities that they can do and do well. So, it's an awesome activity so we love it."
"We try to get these kids to sit down and focus on a fine motor activity, and that's really tough," said Monica Marietta, the Executive Director at Stepping Stones. "So, we have to give them a little balance between the fine motor and the gross motor. There's trampolines, there's the bounce castles, there's Zumba, and there's CTA here doing hip hop. But really it's that mix, that balance between the two activities the fine and gross."
There was music, Origami, and even baton lessons.
The WVU Twirling Team was there to teach some kids a few things.
"I told Monica earlier that a lot of them are naturals," said Whitney Godwin, a member of the WVU Twirling Team and a volunteer at the festival. "It's funny because it helps develop their motor skills, which is why they decided to have me come out and help them out, and a lot of them are doing great they pick it up really quickly."
Most of the activities are fun for the students but also require them to use different senses at the same time. This helps them in other areas of their learning.
"The sensory input is something that many of our students have issues with," said Knotts. "So being able to work through those issues of sensory problems helps them once we get back to schools as well. So, it's a fantastic activity."
Knotts has been bringing his students to the festival for more than ten years.
Stepping Stones is also excited to unveil the new outdoor pool at it's location at Mylan Park. The students will be able to swim in outdoor and indoor pools during the summer programs.
