Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Downtown development will exemplify quality design
'IT is fatal to specialize... the more diverse we are in what we do, the better.' — Jane Jacobs
In 1961 Jane Jacobs wrote her landmark book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. It would redefine our understanding of what makes urban areas vibrant, prosperous and safe. Jacobs likened the city to a living organism, where physical elements such as buildings, parks and sidewalks worked in harmony with social and economic conditions to create a spontaneous blend of what she called "organized complexity." She emphasized the importance of buildings that interact with their surroundings and engage pedestrians along the sidewalk, insisting even large buildings be attractive, welcoming and offer a visually rich experience at the human scale.
Jacobs questioned the effectiveness of single-use neighbourhoods such as entertainment or office districts, instead advocating for a diversity of building types and uses. She argued that a variation of buildings, large and small, new and old, commercial and residential attracts a range of people with different lifestyles and daily routines that populate the city at different times, increasing commercial activity and improving urban safety.
In the past, these diverse neighbourhoods evolved organically over time. The challenge for modern urban renewal is to create space that inspires an instant emotional connection with the community. New buildings that are multi-use and designed to reflect local tradition and character, while connecting to their surroundings on a human level, have the greatest opportunity to become successful contributors to a vibrant neighbourhood.
The Centrepoint development currently under construction across from the MTS Centre on Winnipeg's iconic Portage Avenue hopes to become what Jacobs would call a "district anchor" and neighbourhood focal point. It will attempt to achieve this elusive sense of community by weaving a diverse series of independent functions into the fabric of existing smaller buildings along its block.
Designed by Stantec Architecture, the $130-million project will soon contribute two new peaks to Winnipeg's skyline. On the west side a 21-storey, residential tower named Glasshouse Skylofts will offer modern condominiums with a floor-to-ceiling glass-curtain-wall exterior. Fittingly, the Glasshouse will rise behind the familiar green walls of the Dayton Building on Portage Avenue, Winnipeg's first all-glass curtain wall facade, built in 1955.
With its structural concrete frame currently rising one floor per week, the project's 15-storey east tower will be home to the stylish Alt Hotel from the Quebec-based Groupe Germain. Covered in glass-fibre cement panels from the Czech Republic, the tower will present a playful expression in the skyline with a random array of vertical windows on each side. Thin metal fins extending from the edge of several windows will catch the Prairie light and animate the facade with a patchwork of shadows as the sun moves around the building each day.
As the tower nears completion, it will be fascinating to watch for the Alt's innovative system of prefabricated construction. Completed hotel rooms, built in another Canadian city, will be transported to the site as single units. A crane will plug each white box into the structural frame, like giant storage bins in an IKEA wall unit. Each room pod will be complete with wall and floor finishes and even custom-designed furniture that is secured in place.
With these dramatic towers soaring overhead, the project's true success as a promoter of downtown vibrancy will be defined by its ability to establish an intimate connection to the sidewalk and offer a rich human experience at eye level.
As a starting point, the overall building layout will help to create this pedestrian connection. A five-storey office podium along the street reflects the massing of traditional Portage Avenue buildings and is of a scale that enables a visual connection with the city below. Originally designed to sit above a parkade, the Glasshouse tower will now come to the ground, promoting an interaction between the residential units and the sidewalk, helping to establish a feeling of security for pedestrians.
Ground-floor facades will be transparent and visually engaging as the large complex is broken down to a human scale with two restaurants and a retail space along the sidewalk. Outdoor patios will invite social interaction and soften the line between inside and out.
Each of the major functions will have entrances on different streets, helping to populate the surrounding neighbourhood on all sides. The familiar classical facade of the Mitchell-Copp building will be maintained as a portal entry to the office space, connecting the complex to the history of its site. The limestone artifact will stand away from the face of the new building to expose a full-height glass wall behind, with internal circulation space animating the transparent facade. The configuration of the entry will create a small courtyard niche for pedestrians and will isolate the former bank manager's office vestibule to be transformed into a small art-exhibition space, creating increased visual interest along the sidewalk.
These diverse and multiple functions weaved together into a single project add significant complexity to Centrepoint's design and construction. Three different structural systems, complex ownership and contractor agreements, varied construction schedules and a unique campus geothermal system serving each of the buildings are only a few of the challenges faced during its development.
In the end, this diversity will make Centrepoint a model for future large-scale projects in the city. Its complexity and sensitive consideration of the human experience at eye level will hopefully promote street life and act as a catalyst for smaller, organic development that will help transform Winnipeg's downtown into a walkable, living neighbourhood with safe, active sidewalks, flourishing commercial spaces and lively urban character.

A Simple CNA Clients Love
Local direct decision-makers often find broadcast sellers Customer Needs Analysis forms awkward, especially if youre the third media rep this week thats asked them to help fill one out. Many business owners would rather snack on wasps than help you fill out a lengthy form. The best way to get the information you need from local direct clients is by asking good questions and then listening very carefully to responses during the course of normal conversation.
Here are seven questions you can ask to get the information you need for a great custom proposal. Even though I may already know the answers to many of these questions, I like to hear the answers from the clients lips. By listening carefully to their responses, I learn a lot about what they know (but maybe arent advertising) about their business as well as what they know and dont know about our business.
1. Regarding advertising and marketing, what are you doing or what have you done in the past?
2. Why are you doing it?
3. Who are you trying to reach?
4. What do those people youre trying to reach know now about your business?
5. What do you want those people to know?
6. What is your average sale?
7. What is your gross margin of profit?
Again, even if I believe I already know the answer to any of these questions, I ask it anyway. I ask so I can listen carefully to their responses and determine their level of ignorance or sophistication about marketing, advertising, and my station in particular. I am looking for holes in their perceptions. Im looking for correctable untruths that they may have about advertising, or about my station. Im also digging for the clients true strengths and weaknesses, as well as her perceived notions of the strengths and weaknesses of her competitors. I will use this information to create commercials that will really get consumers attention.
When I ask about her average sale and her gross margin of profit, Im getting information I can use to calculate return on advertising investment and show her that advertising on my station is a good calculated risk, not gambling. Ill also use that same information to manage her expectations about results on my station.
Later, Ill put what Ive learned into a concise one- to two-page proposal that the client will understand and appreciate.
Here is an example of a conversation with a business owner. She owns a gardening center.
Salesperson: Regarding marketing and advertising, what are you doing?
Client: We use the newspaper and the Yellow Pages.
Salesperson: Why are you using those mediums?
Client: Because they work. Were doing couponing and the people come in with the coupons.
OBSERVATION: All media work. Well deal with that later. And, I wonder how much of her advertising is dedicated to price only? She cant win long-term against her price-slashing national discount competitors. Maybe in the future we can focus her advertising on creating value for her products and services and less on cutting her prices.
Salesperson: Who are you trying to reach when you advertise?
Client: Were trying to reach everybody we can.
OBSERVATION: No medium can reach everybody and we dont have to. Just a percentage of those people who will buy plants and garden supplies this week.
Salesperson: Helen, those people youre trying to reach what do they know about your business now? [At this point the client usually begins to open up. I start to observe some of her frustrations.]
Client: We have a good reputation and we sell good stuff but were steadily losing business to Lowes, Home Depot, and Menards. And its hard to compete with all of their advertised low prices.
Salesperson: Helen, what do you want people to know about your business?
Client: Well, our soil in Southwestern Michigan is different. And, we dont sell things that dont grow in Southwestern Michigan. They sell a lot of stuff that just wont do well here with our weather and our soil.
OBSERVATION: Here come some golden nuggets I can use later in commercials.
Client: And we have a horrible unemployment problem in Michigan. Whenever possible, I only buy from Michigan growers and Michigan vendors, so we can keep jobs here in Michigan.
OBSERVATION: What great commercials these statements are going to make. And, we can focus value propositions like these, instead of trolling for bottom-feeders that would only buy her because of price.
Client: And, we dont have one of those great big parking lots. Theres plenty of free parking at the door and we even help load up your car for you.
Salesperson: Whats your average sale?
Client: Considering everything, about sixty dollars per customer.
Salesperson: Whats your gross margin of profit? Is it keystone (50 percent)?
Client: Actually, its a little higher than keystone, about 60 percent.
Great. Now I have the information I need to come up with a custom proposal. It will include a long-term creative strategy as well as a long-term schedule. My budget will be created from real numbers, which include her average sale figure and her gross margin of profit.
Well deal with how to write these proposals next time.

This is an intriguing twist on a classic, Indian spices combined with Mediterrran flavors. A mini food processor works really well for chopping the garlic, chile, and ginger root. Serve on rice or orzo or accompanied by a crusty loaf of bread. Adapted from Moosewood Restaraunt New Classics cookbook. Enjoy!

This is a fresh floral that reminds me of Hugo Boss "Woman". It smells ok on other ladies - very feminine with lilac, magnolia, linden blossom and muguet, but on me it smells like soap. Toilet soap. I do not detect any magnolia whatsoever when sprayed on me. This one's not for me unfortunately - it does not work well with my body chemistry - I ruin the fragrance. Also, it is a scent that is too fresh for my taste (I prefer orientals). I gave it away to a friend who loves it, and it smells good on her.
The thing I do like about this fragrance however, is the bottle, very classy and elegant.....
It's a very ladylike scent and most of my male friends like the scent too. But dont know why my female frens thinks the smell is too thick. I bought the 75ml but I stop using it after use it for not more than 1/3 as I feel bored about the scent, nothing special just an old fashion fragrance in a plain package. Not suitable for young girls. It's a very nice scent but I think my Anna Sui Secret Wish really suitable for me

I purchased a sample of this from Scentagious and I put it on and 2 seconds later- I kid you not it was gone, nothing there. Really wanted to like this one too.I must admit that scents with iris notes in them usually do not work with my chemistry. continued >>
I like floral scent perfumes. My signature perfume is CD J'adore. I like this scent and it has great staying power, but too much can be overpowering. However I dont find it to be a memorable scent that I desire, like J'adore.
This is a lovely scent and one that is perfect for any occasion as long as it is applied with the general caution that too much could be over-bearing (like anything). It is very special with it's floral ingredients and staying power. I think it is a fresher floral than most and is very sophisticated. If you like floral scents, give it a go!
Ingredients include;
a blend lilac, lily of the valley, mandarin, bergamot, linden blossom, violet, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, tuberose, nutmeg, clove, peach, iris, musk, vanilla, amber, sandalwood and magnolia.
Hmm.. Too bad I can`t wear this one. it gives me a really bad headache, and actualluy it gives people AROUND me an headache too. Still I really love the design of the bottle... *Lol*
It's a great scent. It is sophisticated and you can wear it for work or night time. I love it and received it as a gift.
As an aside, I've seen two posts so far that loved this product but accidently gave this product a rating of one lippie. Accidental or not, that makes the score on this product go down. Be careful on the ratings.
One of my favorite scents to wear to work. I exude confidence when I wear this. Smells sexy without smelling cheap. Love this.

This is one of my fav perfumes, it lasts all day and it's somewhat strong but I love strong scents.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this fragrance. It doesn't give me a headache which is important since alot of perfumes tend to. Its just an all around anytime perfume..not too strong, not too subtle. It doesn't have any of the odd smells to it that alot of the newer fragances have...meaning you won't smell like candy or chocolate or insense...I just don't get those. I prefer to just smell pretty : )

To get over my post holiday blues I have started to think about my next trip. I would like to come to the USA, in particular the east coast to see the autumn colours and also I would like to see Savanah and perhaps Charlestown. My lovely friend Sue has also asked me to visit her in Portland Oregon with a side trip to Seattle.
Like Australia the distances are huge and I need help with driving vs flying and which direction I should follow.
Research has told me the colours are anywhere from last week in September to 3rd week October and that year by year this is changing. I am thinking of flying into Portland first then heading to opt 1) Seattle, then Savanah and working my way north. Would I then fly from Charlestown to Vermont? For some reason I fancy Vermont. Or opt 2) Portland, Seattle, Vermont then south. Should I add Boston? And of course have always fancied Montreal and or Quebec.
I would be looking at no more than three weeks total. I have looked at an Inn to Inn walking tour, has anyone done this? I am very open to suggestions as it it early days. Hardly over the jet lag!
Can anyone give me some help? Would driving from Charleston to New Englad be too far for that time frame?
Thanks in advance

The fall foliage in New England is stunningly beautiful, with the number of red maples, in particular, that are in their forests. Hillsides look like they are on fire!!
Is this for this year? If you go to New England, reservations and early ones will be a must.
Charleston to Vermont IS a hike/distance, and through a lot of metropolitan centers. But there is also a lot to see enroute, if you want.
Report Abuse
And be aware: there's very litle fall color along the coasts. The presttiest trees grow in coller climates.
Charleston to New England is a long drive through some urban trafficy areas.
Report Abuse
Great...responses already! Thanks... It would be for next year. Is flying from Charlestown to Boston a good idea?
Report Abuse
Take the train from Charleston to Boston. You will get to see much of the countryside and folliage along the way without worrying about driving.
And if you do have the time, take the train from Boston to Seattle. That route will showcase the country in every which way. The train trip will take about 2-3 days from the east coast to the west coast.
Get a roomette, don't care about the delays, and you will experience US in a way that even driving can't replicate.
Have a wonderful trip!
Report Abuse
Could I catch the train from Seattle to Savanah? Am I correct in thinking I should do the south after Portland and then the north? I am thinking weather wise....
Report Abuse
If you have the time, consider flying into Portland to visit Sue... then head north to Seattle... You could then train across a portion of Canada on the Rocky Mountaineer... then fly from Calgary to Montreal or Quebec... fly to Boston and drive south along eastern America for two or three days and end up in Atlanta for the flight home... Its a very aggressive schedule covering thousands of kilometers but it can be done... have fun!
Report Abuse
Yes you can. You will need to connect 2-3 times. Seatlle or San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C. or something similar. The trip will take few days but you will see/experience the country.
Report Abuse
No - I would do the south last - otherwise it can still be get unpleasantly hot when you get there.
And sorry, I would not do trains, Amtrak is not very pleasant for longer trips - always late, poor food and not even a place to shower for days at a time - unless you keep getting off to see specific areas. And while there are some parts of the route that are pretty - there are a whole lot that are noting special.
I would do the northwest first - and then fly into Boston and tour New England from there by car - then head south - by train if you want. It is certainly possible to drive all the way - but you will have to skirt several major cities (no, you won't have time to visit NY, Philly or DC) and spend a lot of time from traffic.

The fall colors in Michigan's Upper Peninsula are spectacular.

I would fly from Seattle or Portland to Boston, then drive west along Rt 2 in MA out to the Berkshires, then head north into VT along Rt. 100 which is a lovely drive. You could then choose to drive back to Boston through VT/NH and fly to Charleston/Savannah or fly there from Burlington, VT. I suspect there would be an expensive drop-ff fee to leave your car in a different place than where you got it. I believe it is only about a 4 hr drive from Burlington, VT to Boston along Rts 89 and 93. The drive from Boston to Charleston/Savannah along Rt 95 is nasty, loaded with traffic and trucks and not at all scenic and you would again have a drop off fee for the car. I don't do trains either. They can be unpleasant and expensive overnight. Just my opinion.
Report Abuse
To help you plan, the airports you can use to get to Vermont are Boston; Burlington, Vermont; Albany, NY and a little farther south, Hartford, Connecticut. I travel to Vermont frequently and have used all of them depending on which part of the state I want to travel to first.
You can also take Amtrak from New York City's Penn Station to Albany, NY and some trains go up into VT. This is a beautiful ride along the Hudson River. You can have a rental car delivered to the Albany train station.
As mentioned in another post above, Rt.100 in Vermont is a beautiful drive.

I would make a brief trip to the Pacific Northwest, then fly to Montreal. Take the bus across the border to Burlington, Vt.
Rent a car there and follow the color south along the mountains all the way to Asheville, NC. Visit the Great Smoky Mountains, then head out of fall color into summer again by driving to Charleston and then Savannah. You may find it more advantageous to fly back to the West Coast from Jacksonville, Florida, than from Charleston or Savannah
None of this inland route exposes you to the urban congestion of Interstate 95 or the Boston to Washington Corridor.
If you like this idea, I can provide more specifics of routes and sites along the way. You won't even need to book ahead south of Massachusetts until you get to Charleston. Well, perhaps on the weekends.
Report Abuse
I can see there are heaps of different options available to me. Interesting that I should do Savanah at the end. If I was to fly between major cities is three weeks going to be long enough to get a good idea of the places I have mentioned. Of course that sounds like one of "those" questions, so maybe I should ask how long do I need to see Portland, Seattle, Vermont, maybe Boston, Nantucket, Savanah and Charleston? Not rushing but not dawdling either.
I think I need to do a lot more research and come back and ask some more questions. But anymore tips, ideas and general info is most appreciated.
Thanks Schnauzer

I think a week for the Pacific Northwest and with friends.
Ten days down the Appalachian Mountains for the scenery and color with a few side trips to historic and natural sites.
Two days in Charleston, day and a half in Savannah.
You don't have time to see Boston or Nantucket and the fall color and Charleston and Savannah stuff and Portland/Seattle.
Report Abuse
You are not going to see a lot of fall colors in the southern US and even in parts of the mid-Atlantic in late September or even at the beginning of October. North of New York, maybe.
LATER in October you'll see more color...from the train? No, since it doesn't go anywhere near higher elevations between Charleston/Savannah and New York.
The traditional "peak" of Fall colors in New England is around Columbus Day in early October and even then it can be very dicey depending on how much rain has fallen, etc.
There are "color monitors" on the web for Fall Foliage that you can check.

I think that nytraveler has a good plan for your trip. I live in Massachusetts so I think that Boston would be a nice city to visit. I love it. I would also mostly avoid trains, as I would also avoid driving the Interstate 95 corridor down the east coast. It's a mess! Colors peak in NE the beginning to mid October, keep that in mind if it's the colors you are looking for. I love the coast of Massachusetts, which would include Boston. It's not the foliage tour, but after Labor Day, much less crowded.

I have had a chat with my travelling chum and she doesn't want to go to Montreal or Quebec but mentioned New York if we had any extra time. I am thinking 10 days through New Hampshire and Vermont, will this be enough time to get a good look at foliage, covered bridges, some walking, cute towns and a general overview. We really only want a total of three weeks. One week in Portland and Seattle with travel time. Leaving us 2 weeks for the rest. Should we just stick with a couple of nights in Boston instead of New York. We have both been before - NY but donkeys years ago.
Lonely planet has offered some quite good driving itineraries and the foliage forum also. Research continues.....
Anymore suggestions are welcome. Also does anyone have good suggestions for which towns to stay in for the foliage etc. we don't want to be on the move every couple of nights, so only 2/3 places max. Or does that make for too much driving each day? The distances don't look huge... but ...
I have thought of Waitsfield, Waterbury or Stowe, any comments? or perhaps Lincoln in New hampshire. We want a B and B, with character.
Savanah and Charlestown may have to wait for another time.
Report Abuse
In the west autumn color is as much a function of elevation as latitude - autumn comes earlier the higher up the mountains you go (well, duh.)
I think limiting your time to New England and Portland/Seattle is a good idea given your limited time. Savannah and Charleston are gorgeous, but to me they're better experienced in the spring than the fall. Charleston in the spring takes your breath away.
You'll be pretty lucky to see much autumn foliage anywhere in the west before the first of October, with the exception of high altitude in the Cascades or Rockies, or Alaska. And there the colors will be mainly yellows - only the vine maples go red-red like their cousins in New England.
However, Portland and Seattle have some terrific areas close by where the early autumn is pretty wonderful. In Oregon, the Hood River Valley, which runs from the (awesome) Columbia River Gorge up to (equally awesome) Mount Hood, is orchard country, and late September will still be harvest time. (Just imagine this picture in yellows and reds instead of pinks - http://gardyloo.us/20100509_85a.jpg ).
The same goes for the mountain passes and east slope of the Cascade mountains in Washington, where the apples will be red and ready - http://gardyloo.us/20101017_50s2.JPG
I would fly from the east coast to Portland; it's inexpensive and your schedule is already a bit crowded.
In terms of fave places from which to venture out to see fall color in New England, we're very big fans of Portsmouth NH. The city is very walkable and lovely, and it's convenient for excursions into New Hampshire or Maine, while still being only a short drive from Boston.

Can Hip Hop Artists Influence Social Activism?
in Women
It has often been noted by fans of Old School music that artists like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and James Brown influenced the civil rights movement with music that inspired social activism among the people.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I am VERY happy with my wedding invitations. My mother is an artist and she designed custom invitations for my wedding so we used the "uniquely yours" option and uploaded the jpgs. It was a little unnerving to upload a jpg and then hope the quality and cropping would be correct but I had multiple phone calls with the designer and always felt like I was being taken care of. When they finally arrived yesterday I was thrilled by both the brightness of color and the paper quality. AND they arrived about 5 days earlier than expected. Thank you very much."
"You need not worry about your design with WPD. You are well in their hands. They took my design and along with the pearlescent shimmer paper turned it into the perfect invite for my shower. Thank you so much WPD!"
"Not as vivid as online, but good thick card stock and an interesting layout that makes a mini-souvenir of the event! Customer service is superior; I'm very pleased, and will use weddingpaperdivas.com again should the need arise."
"I loved how easy it was to just put in the information I wanted and not spend hours trying to put this together myself! I was able to easily upload my parents wedding picture and really personalize this invitation. Some of the guests thought it was an ad!"
"Loved the invitations we got printed from wedding paper divas! It's for my parents' surprise 40th wedding anniversary and this website was one of the only ones who carried anniversary party invitations. Loved the design, quality and feel of the card overall. Would definitely order these again! Fast shipping, too!"

Alec Baldwin, MSNBC Part Ways
BY Michelle Garcia
November 26 2013 3:37 PM ET
After Alec Baldwin's MSNBC show was suspended after he used used homophobic language toward a news photographer, USA Today reports that the show may be officially pulled from broadcast.
Earlier this month, Baldwin's Up Late show was suspended for two weeks after he apologized for reportedly calling the photographer a "cocksucking little fag." The next day, Baldwin said his "offensive, unacceptable" behavior occurred when he was trying to protect his family.
"Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support," he said.
Baldwin's representative said in the statement that the actor-host and the network have parted ways. A statement from MSNBC said the decision was a "mutual parting, and we wish Alec all the best."
Baldwin is well known for his liberal politics, including support for LGBT rights, but he also has a history of using antigay slurs when angry. Last summer, for instance, he called a British reporter a "toxic little queen," among other things, and he also used "queen" in reference to a New York Daily News editor. Regarding the latest incident, he initially claimed he called the photographer "fathead" instead of "fag" and asserted he did not know that "cocksucking" had an antigay connotation. He received condemnation from several organizations and people, including GLAAD, CNN journalist Anderson Cooper, and gay columnist Andrew Sullivan.

I'm writing a program that handles comments as well as a few other things. If a comment is in a specific place, then my program does something.
Flex passes a token upon finding a comment, and Bison then looks to see if that token fits into a particular rule. If it does, then it takes an action associated with that rule.
Here's the thing: the input I'm receiving might actually have comments in the wrong places. In this case, I just want to ignore the comment rather than flagging an error.
My question:
How can I use a token if it fits into a rule, but ignore it if it doesn't? Can I make a token "optional"?
(Note: The only way I can think of of doing this right now is scattering the comment token in every possible place in every possible rule. There MUST be a better solution than this. Maybe some rule involving the root?)

Re: [RP] The Secrets of Fells Church: Ghost World
Once the high school was finished for the day Caroline met up with the group outside the school, though she had to stay behind for a few hours. Her and a group of human friends were setting up the gym for a 40's decade dance, which she was really excited about.
"Are you sure you don't need any help from us?" Kotomi asked.
"Nah it's fine." Caroline responded with a smile. "Once my friends and I are finished with the gym it will look amazing." Kol laughed at how cheerful the blonde sounded.
"Okay, but just call if you need help." Kol said as Caroline nodded, the blonde giving Kiseki a kiss before returning back inside the school. Kotomi and Kol walked back to the house and opened the front door, the two going right to the kitchen as always.
"How was school?" Isobel asked, walking into the kitchen as well while Raven greeted the group with excitement.
"It was good, though I have so much homework that I should get started on." Kotomi responded with a sigh, bringing Isobel to chuckle.
"Where's Caroline?" Lexi asked in confusion when seeing the blonde absent from the group.
"She's staying after school with some friends to help set up the dance for Friday." Kol responded, the dance being two days away.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Damon said as he stood up from the couch and stretched, then looking over to Diana and giving her a smirk. "Do you want to tell them or should I?"
"Tell us what?" Kotomi asked.
"Well... I'm pregnant with Mason's baby." Diana responded with nervousness once again. Kotomi and Kol looked at the young Witch in shock, though they slowly recovered after a few moments.
"That's awesome!" Kotomi squeaked as she walked over to Diana and hugged her, Kol giving out a laugh.
"That really is awesome. Looks like we'll have another addition to the group." Kol said.
"Oh, there's more." Damon said, bringing Kotomi to release Diana with confusion once again.
"The other thing is... Damon and I are together now as a couple." Diana said.
"What about Mason though?" Kotomi asked.
"If Mason truly cares about Diana then he'll want her to be happy." Ashley added, Kotomi and Kol nodding in agreement.
"I can't wait for Caroline to hear the news." Kol chuckled.
Back at the school Caroline met up with a group of two boys and a girl, the group of four walking into the gym where half of it was already set up from yesterday. Caroline pulled out a list from her bag and looked it over to see what the group needed next, cursing at herself when realizing she left the other half of her list in her car.
"I need to go get the other list." Caroline said, the group nodding as the girl walked over to a radio and began to blast music in the gym while Caroline was leaving. The Vampire walked out to the emptied parking-lot where her car was, opening the driver's door and sitting in the seat as she tried to remember where she put the list. She then reached over to the glove department and opened it, sighing in relief when she found the paper.
"There you are." Caroline said, shoving the paper in her front pocket and stepping out of her car. When she closed the door and started walking back towards the school however she felt a sudden sting in the back of her neck, feeling the much too familiar burning in her body as she quickly reached to the back of her neck and pulled out a dart, which was filled with Vervain before it had been injected into Caroline. Fear suddenly overcame Caroline as she quickly turned around, seeing a man with a black mask on standing a few feet in front of her with a gun raised to her.
Caroline quickly charged at the man in anger now with her Vampire speed but he pulled the trigger to the gun, sending a wooden bullet right in the middle of Caroline's forehead. The sound of the gun was loud as Caroline's emotionless body hit the pavement, but her friends didn't hear the sound because of the loud music.
Caroline woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar place, brick walls surrounding her as a single door was a few feet in front of her. She was on the opposite side of town, underground in the thick woods where her family had once owned the land. The bullet was already taken out of her head, but who was the man? Caroline tried to stand, realizing that she was sitting in a metal chair, but was unable to move. She quickly looked down, seeing that her wrists and ankles were securely chained to the chair.
"Hello?" Caroline called out in a panic, unable to break free from the chains or send a telepathic message because of the Vervain in her system, the man injecting even more Vervain into Caroline while she was unconsious. "Kiseki!" Caroline cried out, struggling to break free. The sound of footsteps walking towards the door on the other side brought Caroline to stop with her struggling, the door opening a few moments later where the man in the mask walked into the room. "Who are you?" Caroline growled. The man took off the mast and looked at Caroline, his piercing blue eyes matching her own.
"Hello Caroline." The middle aged man said.
"Daddy?" Caroline said in a shocked, small voice.

'Visible minority' will mean 'white' by 2031
By 2031, the Toronto region's white population will be the new "visible minority," according to a Statistics Canada study.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
By 2031, the Toronto region's white population will be the new "visible minority," according to a Statistics Canada study.
The city and its suburbs are expected to surpass the 50 per cent visible minority mark in 2017. By 2031, almost 63 per cent of the region's population will be from a visible minority community, says the study released Tuesday.
For decades Toronto has proudly worn the title of "most diverse." But never before have the numbers shown so clearly just how much more diverse we are about to become.
Minority populations will more than double in the next 20 years – from 2.3 million in 2006 to 5.6 million in 2031.
"Toronto will have 43 per cent of all the diversity of the country," said Laurent Martel, one of the authors of Projections of the Diversity of the Canadian Population.
Federal agencies asked for these numbers to help plan long-range multicultural and economic programs.
In 2031, one in four residents of the GTA will be South Asian, exceeding all other minorities by far.
Besides high immigration rates, South Asians have a higher birth rate than many other visible minorities. The Chinese in Canada, for instance, have one of the lowest birth rates.
"Soon a larger share of this visible minority population will be people actually born in Canada," said Martel. "They are children of immigrants or grandchildren of immigrants. So the face of Canadians is changing."

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem
By Stephanie Zacharek
In the kooky little Canadian town of Wawa, a stranger knocks on the door of an autistic woman to break the news that her daughter was killed while hitching a ride in his car. So begins the awkward pairing of Linda (a no-frills Sigourney Weaver), who responds to the bad news by munching snow and focusing on shiny ornaments, and Alex, a taciturn fellow (Alan Rickmanwho else?) whose spirit has been all but snuffed out by past trauma. Marc Evans's indie drama, from a script by Angela Pell (who has an autistic son), does sidle up to the brink of mawkishness, but it pulls back so nicely into Weaver's rich, hard-headed evocation of Linda's limitations that one forgives the eye-popping speed with which Alex, grieving for two people he's never known, re-enters the human race and falls for Carrie-Anne Moss.

Freddie Jacobson and second-round co-leader Heath Slocum were 12 under. Jacobson shot a 66, and Slocum had a 68.
Former Wyndham winners Brandt Snedeker and Webb Simpson joined second-round co-leader Scott Langley at 11 under in the final event of the PGA Tour's regular season. Snedeker and Simpson shot 66, and Langley had a 69.

Series Part 4: Retail supply auctions, known as Basic Generation Service auctions, are being proposed around the country. In a second article on BGS auctions, Andy Dunn presents a different view...
Spot-Market Clearing
Solving the electricity credit malaise.
guarantee is only as good as the organization providing it, and the market must be confident that the counter-party won't itself fail-the California Power Exchange providing a salutary example. As stated more eloquently by Mark Twain in Pudd'n'head Wilson, "The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and-watch that basket!'"
Protections and Safeguards
Clearinghouses preserve their financial integrity through a system of rigorous processes and robust guarantees. Spot-market clearing uses these same safeguards, modified as appropriate to fit the unique characteristics of electricity spot markets.
Full Collateralization
All positions held at the clearinghouse must be secured by collateral-specifically liquid redeemable instruments such as cash, treasury instruments and letters of credit-in accordance with the risk they present. Unsecured credit is not accepted, be it based on balance sheet, parent guarantee or IOU. 7
Credit risk is determined based upon a probabilistic assessment of potential credit exposure. This is the total exposure which a participant might incur by the time a default is detected and resolved, calculated to a given statistical likelihood. Due to the inherent volatility of electricity spot markets the calculation of potential exposure, as with futures markets, must be performed on a daily basis. The method of calculation, however, differs significantly between these two types of markets.
In futures markets, potential exposure is usually based upon the worst one-day move, within the chosen statistical bounds ( e.g., 99 percent), this being the exposure that can be incurred between when risk is assessed and when the position can be liquidated in the event of default. In electricity spot markets there usually is no position to liquidate, as the power has been, or is being, consumed by the time a default can be detected. Instead, potential exposure is determined based upon the (statistically determined) settlement liability that might be incurred between assessment and detection-or resolution. 8
The authors have undertaken significant work with NYMEX to identify methods for calculating and managing spot-market exposures, not just for real-time and day-ahead electricity, but the broad range of charges and payments associated with most electricity spot markets ( e.g., ancillary services, capacity, etc.).
One of the more attractive features of the clearinghouse collateralization model is the ability to perform portfolio margining. Many organizations are active in multiple electricity spot markets and the futures market, often with collateral assessed and posted separately for each. Consolidating all of these positions at the same clearinghouse allows credit exposure, and hence collateral, to be determined on a portfolio basis, with the potential to generate significant offsets between positions with correlated risk. Potential markets against which collateral offsets can be provided include:
- Positions in other electricity spot markets;
- Electricity future;
- Contracts for major fuel sources, such as natural gas, coal and fuel oil; and
- Other commodities with a significant linkage to electricity, such as weather and emissions credits.
To effectively provide these benefits, however, the clearinghouse must have a material standing in the markets in question. This makes the provision of collateral offsets between spot and forward markets a far more realistic proposition for organizations

Cargo Works MacBook Air + iPad Sleeve
Pretty much every laptop bag or backpack we see these days has room for an iPad too, so it's not much of a surprise to see a sleeve that does the same. Cargo Works' MacBook Air + iPad Sleeve ($30-$35) goes beyond the traditional Incase-style neoprene pocket — it's got an urban aesthetic, an extra pocket, and more. For times when a backpack is too much to carry, but you need a Mac and a tablet, this may be the way to go.
The sleeve is made of high quality polyester canvas, and comes in three colors. The laptop pocket closes with YKK zippers, while the iPad holder is underneath a flap with a Velcro closure. On the front, you'll find elastic bands that can be used to hold clips, pens, and other accessories.

Important games always come down to the wire, and on Thursday, it was a critical Central California Conference matchup with postseason implications between the second and third place teams in Buhach Colony and Pitman, but only one team would be declared the winner.
Ted Howze developed an ambition to coach football when he was 15 years old. Four years later he found himself at the helm of his first football team and his ambition became his passion. Since then, Howze has coached exclusively at the youth level, but that's about to change.
For the past decade, Turlock and Pitman High have been in the thick of the hunt for the Central California Conference baseball championship, testing each other and the rest of their opposition each season in what is often a neck and neck race for the league title.
After being postponed due to the massive rainfall on Tuesday, the much anticipated rivalry between Turlock and Pitman High grew higher as the two met on the tennis courts on Wednesday in a Central California Conference bout.
A walk-off RBI single from Turlock Christian's Mason Mark to score Jack Farrar in the bottom of the eighth with two outs did it for the Eagles who pulled out a 3-2 victory over Southern Athletic League foe Denair High on Thursday at Pedretti.
Things never go well when a player goes down, let alone your ace pitcher. For Pitman High's softball squad it was a blow they couldn't recover from when junior Alexis Mettler went down in the middle of the third inning Thursday afternoon.
James Hollister's reputation precedes itself. Serving 47 years as the track and field coach at Turlock Junior High, his name is synonymous with running and fitness by most in Turlock.
After two and a half years at Turlock Christian High, Shane Smith, former head football coach and current athletic director, is stepping away. Smith, who coached the Eagles during the 2011 and 2012 season before turning in his whistle for the athletic director position duties in 2013, has decided to resign at the end of this school year to accept a teaching and coaching position at Modesto Christian High at the beginning of the 2014 school year.
The Central California Conference met the Trans Valley League Wednesday afternoon when Hilmar High traveled to the Steve Feaver Aquatic Center to face off against Turlock High in a non-league swim meet.
Denair High's tennis team completed the first of its three-round league schedule with a win over Turlock Christian High on Wednesday as its boys and girls earned an 8-1 victory.
The relentless attack of the Pitman Pride offense was unable to tack on more than one goal in Wednesday's Central California Conference matchup against the Buhach Colony Thunder.
A six-run rally in the fourth inning was sufficient enough for the Pitman Pride baseball team to hold on to the lead and pick up the 8-5 win against a visiting Buhach Colony on Wednesday.
Golf preseason is in full swing for local high schools. Turlock, Pitman, Turlock Christian and Hilmar High have been hitting the golf courses as they strive for another successful year with some new and also returning golfers.
Three local teams are preparing for the beginning of track season in the Southern Athletic League. Turlock Christian, Delhi, and Denair High have been conditioning and training their respective athletes for the past couple months with some in search of a SAL championship and others simply in search of competition.
Hilmar High's Devon Mederios is the latest local athlete to secure an athletic future at the collegiate level after signing his letter of intent with Sacramento State University's football team. Mederios, who was a key component of the Yellowjackets' 13-1 season in 2013, will join the Hornets' roster as a walk-on at the kicker position.
Close to 100 water polo athletes gathered in the waters of the Steve Feaver Aquatics Center last year for the first annual North vs. South High School Senior All-Star Game. The inaugural event featured eight teams and four matches and turned longtime opponents into teammates for one final high school competition.
The 2014 season is underway for Turlock's professional indoor soccer team and along with a new year, the Major Arena Soccer League has been implemented.
For the first time in school history, the California State University, Stanislaus women's soccer team is in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Division II Championship after toppling Western Washington, 1-0, this past Saturday.
Pitman High softball prodigy, Alexis Mettler is one of the rare gifted young talents from the area who have proven extraordinary qualities for a student-athlete that everyone wishes to inquire over their career.
The Turlock Christian Eagles volleyball team continues to fly past their opponents in the postseason and Thursday was no different.
No day off; no problem.
Pitman High was pushed to its limits Thursday night in the second round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs against St. Mary's High. After uncharacteristically dropping the first set to the Rams, the Pride bounced back and battled to five sets for only the second time all season.
A day after ending her high school volleyball career with a close playoff loss to Lincoln High, Turlock High's Victoria Larsen inked the beginning of a new chapter in her life when she signed her national letter of intent to play for Fresno Pacific University.
Hilmar High's Landon Azevedo has committed to continue his athletic skills at Sacramento State University on an athletic scholarship for golf, signing his letter of intent Thursday.

Living together
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 10:07am
Have you ever lived with a boyfriend? I have been living with my boyfriend for 6 months and I feel like everything is going great. Our parents are now harrassing us to get married but he says he is not ready. I'm very disappointed because I felt that was where we were going in this relationship and now I'm completely confused about why we are living together. Am I rushing things?
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 10:45am
No, I haven't... at least not yet. Right now, I enjoy having my own little oasis and I'm just not ready to give that up. Plus I haven't had that "this is the absolute ONE" feeling.
But let me ask... are you thinking about marriage simply because your families are pushing for the idea? Have you considered having a heart to heart with your guy and just directly ask him where he sees your relationship going? Not being ready right now doesn't always mean he's opting out of the marriage idea; he may just have a different time table than you, so why not get it out in the open?
Good luck!
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 11:22am
I think this happens a lot in relationships where one person (usually the woman) feels that living together is a step toward marriage while the other person just sees it as living together to see how things are going. You don't say how old you are or how long you dated before you moved in. I do not think you should pressure him to get married just because your parents are harrassing you--tell your parents to back off and this is a decision between you & your BF--you don't want to rush into marriage just to get divorced. I did live w/ 2nd DH before marriage--of course we were middle aged and had kids so it wasn't the same, but we had already decided we were going to get married. It helped us save money for the wedding & honeymoon since he sold his house & moved into mine. I think before anyone decides to live together they should discuss what it means for their relationship.
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 8:09pm
If everything is going great don't let any one pressure you into getting married.
I lived with my husband of almost 30 years, for 7 months before we got married. We knew after the 3rd date he was my magical other half, but had a date we wanted to marry on so waited. Which gave us time to save up for the wedding and honey moon.
My mother divorced after 10 years of marriage and lived with her first love for over 20 years without marrying until her death.
It is only up to you two if and when you get married, don't let others "guilt" you into it.

Im currently living with my boyfriend, Im 28, He's 27, We're been living together since Oct. 2011, but we've been together since June of 2011 and its going really good, There has been a few agruments but that comes with living with 10 people but his and mine relationship is good, We havent got in any big fights since we've been together, I've also known my boyfriend for 13 years, We went to middle and high school together but then we reconnected on facebook in June of 2011. So yeah its going good so far, We're hoping to get married June of 2014, So we have awhile to save up and stuff. I'm looking forward to it though and Im sure he is too.
