Flat or shed roof
I want to build a small (16x24) rustic cabin, and the birdsmouth cut seems to require more experience than I have, but I wonder about drainage, if I install a flat roof. Is there a way to build a shed roof with fasteners, or is there a way to put a slight pitch to a flat roof?
Birdsmouth cuts are not hard at all with some practice.
You can easily go to a lean-to type roof, just build one wall higher.
On small projects like yours I manufacture my own trusses and put the crossties flat on the topcap and secure with hurricane tiedowns. If you beef up the crossties, you can floor over parts of them for storage.
I suggest that you pick up a DIY book on garage or home building.

This is an article from Cameroon by Sylvestre Tetchiada, reporting on solar energy use for rural electrification. Interesting stats. Not entirely clear on whether actual use of solar has 'muscled' out kerosene, 60% of the 17 million population still use kerosene, what percentage or what stats point to the 'muscling' out of kerosene by Solar any increase in the last couple of years? If so by how much? I do realize that getting specific data on stuff like this can be problematic, so please pardon my 'reading between the lines'. It is still a very good article, it points to the benefits of solar vs kerosene use – No smoke in the eyes of teachers grading papers at night, better quality of life, and the myriad uses of solar. Good stuff. The other good thing pointed out in the piece is the transfer of knowledge from the notable Barefoot College in India. This is the classic 'showing someone how to fish' rather than giving someone the fish which they will eat for a day. It is also an example of good use of aid money from UNDP – the training and involvement of women in this program.
Solar power is not without its own costs. "In our country, you need on average 500 to 1,000 dollars to equip a home (with solar electricity systems), and most do not have the money," Yves Ngouala, an economist based in Yaoundé, told IPS.
But, this hasn't stopped the Association for the Support and Assistance of Women (Association pour l'appui et le soutien à la femme, ASAFE), an NGO based in the economic hub of Douala, from sending four women to India for six months' training in solar power technology.
The women were briefed at the Barefoot College, an organisation founded in 1972 to equip rural people with various skills, which has branched out across India.
"The women we sent to train in the technique of solar powerâ?¦will return to electrify 100 houses each in their respective villages, where inhabitants made use of kerosene and wood for cooking and heating until now," says ASAFE President Gisèle Ytamben.
It will be interesting to find out how the program goes. Obviously i am biased here but you know if women are involved…It will surely be something successful.
The Cameroon government has some catching up to do, by eliminating import duties on solar panels just like Kenya did June last year.
Thank you Whis for sending me the story.

Brunch with a toddler
- s
- something_yummy Oct 25, 2008 07:02 PM
We are looking for some suggestions on where we can have a nice (good quality food) brunch. It must be someplace that doesnt frown on having children in their space. (we have already got a few great dim sum places - looking for eggs, waffles and other brunch treats)
We have been to a few spots - but are looking for something new...tired of same old spots.
Here is a partial list of where we have been:
Swan - hit and miss with food, not great for children as wait can be long and space is tight
King edddy - good for what it is (who eats 50/pp at brunch?), great for children - staff very helpful
Coras - fair, ok for our son but we didnt want to go back.
Whitlocks - food it ok, ok for children
Hot House - yuck! might as well be at GG
Fresh - ok (but we really like eggs), not great for children as noise travels and space is tight
Old Nick - food is fine (better when Michelle Bellerose was there), havent taken our little one or seen other children there.
Gallery Grill - food is great, our son was not amused by the offerings
Three's Company Cafe - fair on both accounts
Abbot Pub & Fare - typical brunch food, suprisingly great for children - a pub with high chairs!
So - to all of you who share our love of brunch - help us find something new.
Homeway on Mt. Pleasant is very, very family friendly and has a good brunch menu. There was a recent thread about a bad experience there, but I personally have always had a good experience.
Ten Feet Tall, on Danforth near Greenwood. Very kid-friendly, in fact the owner's young kids are often hanging around or helping out. Tasty yam frites with dips along with the usual brunch stuff -
Ten Feet Tall
1381 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4J, CA
re: JamieK
Ten Feet Tall is great, my 22 month old son has eaten quite a few of the yam fries there...and lamb pops as well. Also good is Melanie's for brunch, Danforth near Glebemount, across from East Lynn Park.
We've brought our now > 2 yr old to Le Select Bistro for wknd brunches when she was just under 2 yrs old. Plus, we lug our > 6 mth old baby there too in the stroller. They've always put us at the table just left of the door where there's banquette seating. We always like banquette seating because we can corner in our child to reduce on mess and damage they can do. If you don't let your kid go wild, we've found they're pretty good. Take a look at the menu online before going to see what will appeal to your toddler. You'll get a nice meal and it's not some gross chain.
re: budeeez
I second Le Select Bistro! I took my 4 and 2 year olds there a few months ago and it was great. They are very kid-friendly there, offering crayons and the most unique children's menu I have ever seen! Food is excellent also>
Have you tried Allen's on the Danforth? They are kid friendly (I have a 17 month old) and there are the usual brunch items: french toast, waffles, eggs benny and other pub grub. I have had major issues in the past with the place, but lately they have bounced back both in service and food quality.
I was there 2 weeks ago with my wife and son. My son was getting a little restless waiting for his french toast and the waitress brought over a book with magnetic farm animals to keep him occupied. The waitress was not put off in the least serving a table with a toddler. While we were there, I saw at least 2 other families with young kids.
As I mentioned above, I have had issues with Allens in the past, but they seem to have bounced back.
re: sloweater
Dr. Generosity
J.J. Mugs (Woodbine Centre
I particularly like the Sunday buffet at JJ Mugs. The faster the food is on the plate (especially for little ones), the better.
re: wheresthafood
Went to Dr Generosity last sunday morning - great place! Got there around 9AM, I'd say maybe half of the tables had kids under 6! (Too early for any BWV hipsters....). Great breakfast and delivered INSANELY fast, like 5 minutes from ordering.
re: sloweater
Allen's does not allow strollers though.
Since the OP seems to be somewhat in the east end - Three's Company at Pape and Danforth are kid-friendly with good brunch food. The Jester Pub is not really chowish but have decent omelettes, etc, and they do have high chairs. The staff at Euro Crepe Cafe are really super with my toddler, and she loves watching them make her crepe.
re: julesrules
I'm not sure what their policy is at Allen's, but we had our stroller with us. They stored it on the patio. They may not welcome strollers during the winter.
re: sloweater
Maybe it was an evil anti-Allen's rumour - I haven't actually confirmed it. Good to hear they were accomodating.
re: julesrules
We were on the patio that day, so they had a place to store strollers. I can't be so sure that they'll be as nice when the snow comes.
re: sloweater
I tried Allen's after reading this blog. We had a 15month and a 4month baby (for 45mins tops). Food was good. All the servers and cooks were really friendly and nice. The manager was extremely rude about the kids and grumpy. Just because of her, it makes u not want to go there. They need a manager with the ability to be PLEASANT with people (everyone plus those with kids) to do this job otherwise u shudn't be in any customer service manager position. According to the manager (not the servers who do all the work!) they were too small to accomodate families! give me a break - they have 15 tables and a patio!
We are regular brunch goers with our 2 year old
Some of our faves:
ViVetha (Beaches) - Our current favourite spot. Excellent food and understanding staff
Marche - Don't laugh.. Not elegant dining but if you are dining on a timeline it goes work! Good waffles.
Toast (Leslieville) - Spotty service but when they are good they are really very good...
Toba (King East) - Be warned, no high chairs. We always have our own boosters and I find the food and service to be pretty good. I haven't had any issues with attitude when we bring the kid.
Mill Street Brew Pub - Actually did brunch there for my son's 1st birthday with 6 adults and 3 toddlers. They were great and really understanding. Haven't been for a while though.
Good luck in your quest! Got to say, it is a great city for brunch!
re: Otonabee
second ViVetha
2485 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4E1H9, CA
re: JamieK
Cantine and the Studio Cafe in the four seasons
re: ddelicious
Got to agree with the Studio Cafe. Haven't been there with a toddler but went there when my son was 6 months old. The hostess was incredibly sweet and gave my son a little teddy bear.
Now I am thinking we should really go back for bunch at some point...
thank you all!
we hope to find a few gems in the list. and hopefully they will not frown on our stroller (happened at a resto that didnt have a high chair - Cravings on Yonge)
a few notes:
JJ mugs - might as well be at GG
ViVetha and Toast and all others in the queen east eara - why are all great brunch places down that way?
we used to live out that way - and loved all the great options we had for brunch. it was amazing. now that we've move we end up packing up and trekking all over the city in search. (now live in yonge/lawrence area).
oh well, a yummy brunch place is worth it!
re: something_yummy
Ah, if you're at Yonge and Lawrence, then Homeway is definitely a good bet for you, as it's on Mt. Pleasant, north of Eglinton. Also nearby is the The Abbott Pub at Yonge and Glenforest (?). It's a pub, but the food is really good and fresh. Great local spot.
re: TorontoJo
I have to disagree with Homeway (refer to a previous thread for detailed reasons). The service is atrocious and the food matches the service. The only reason I would bring my child there is that the atmosphere is similar to the ball room at Ikea: chaos reigns supreme.
re: sloweater
Do not go to homeway. Awful place. If you are at yonge and lawrence you could go to United Bakers, at Lawrence and Bathurst. Not exactly a foodie destination but it is great for kids and they have decent fresh food, soups, salads, etc.
re: ddelicious
per my post - we've done The Abbott. We have not tried Homeway but have not heard good things from our friends. United Bakers is not very good...tried Colemans too (other side of Bathurst) it is a bit better.
We are looking for a good brunch not just something we can put together.
I guess we will have to go back to Queen east to try a few of the other suggestions.
re: something_yummy
The Danforth is your friend.. Ten Feet Tall and 3's Company would be my top picks for great brunch and family-friendly attitude. Try the brunch poutine at 3's company - fries, pulled pork, grated cheese and... a fried egg. They do also have lighter options ;)
Have you tried Safari Grill?
Safari Bar & Grill
1749 Avenue Rd, Toronto, ON M5M 3Y8, CA
Harbord House is family friendly and very tasty. Their brunch offerings are egg heavy - no pancakes, french toast or waffles - which I do find odd, but you can order off their regular menu as well. Good burgers, sandwiches, fish n chips, etc. Any meal must be finished with their sticky toffee pudding. Yum
My friend regularly heads to Mitzi's Sister on Queen street with her baby, they're extremely kid-friendly and the food is great and well-priced.
The Drake on Queen Street at Dovercourt always has little ones around and it is casual enough tthat it doesn't matter. It seems that the staff are helpful and ok with it.
Why don't you try Globe Bistro for Sunday brunch, I've seen toddlers there. The food and service is good also.
Not in your area, but if you are willing to travel I can suggest:
The Gladstone - very casual, lots of space and you can even let the kids run around over in the Melody Bar if it isn't open yet
Le Pain Quotidian in Yorkville is good and surprisingly kid friendly (if they behave)
Also, second the suggestion of Cantine on Ave Rd S of Davenport
Oh and I forgot my favourite of all. Caveat: no eggs, minimal choices, excellent organic baked goods (scones, muffins), light options eg. hardboiled egg with baguette and cheese, and "lunchier" brunches like salads and sandwiches. BUT very friendly, very welcoming to kids, and some of the best coffee in the city: Ezra's Pound on Davenport just east of Spadina
re: JToronto
I'm going to second two of JToronto's rec's. We've yet to try Ezra's Pound with our kids but I regularly stop in there for great coffee. The limited menu is quite tasty - a bit pricey but the quality is high (and let me reiterate about the coffee - I could start a separate thread about great brunch places that also have great coffee, let alone also being welcoming to toddlers - and we toddler parents need our coffee!!!!!).
This week-end, we tried the Yorkville location of LPQ. Yes, I know that everyone (other than the shills - er, first time posters...) trashed the other location on this board and I never even bothered with it. But this week-end, we hit the Yorkville spot with rugrats in tow. Pros: Opens early - hard to find a brunch spot that's open by 9 that's not a diner, VERY welcoming for and mindful of needs of kids (they even have a small kids menu), decent selection of brunch items (waffles, 2 eggs with bread, pastries, granola and yoghurt, oatmeal - no bacon and I don't think there was french toast or pancakes). Also, when you go early, or at least when we did, it was more than half-empty (half-full?) so there was space for our little guys to mosey around a bit. Coffee was decent - not in the same league as Ezra's but decent. Cons: WAY overpriced - 2 soft-boiled (in fact, almost hard-boiled) eggs with some bits of different breads and a pat of butter for $7.50, granola/yoghurt/fruit parfait with 7 bites of fruit for $7.50. Also, the pastries looked meh. Would I go here again with just my husband - not likely, or at least not often. Would I go here again with the kidlets one morning? In a heartbeat.
OP - please tell more about brunch at the Abbott. How was the food? Coffee?

I miss my Mythos that was in Newport. Really. I have had dreams about their hummus. Prior to eating at Mythos I swore I hated hummus. I had never had a good one. This one is the best I have ever had. EVER! They serve it with warm pita bread. Mmm!
I love everything about the place. My favorite dish is the dolmathes, which are the rice, lemon mixture inside a grape leaf or the keftedes which are lemony spicy meatballs. I especially enjoy their rice pilaf. It is so light and soft, nothing crazy in it like almonds or goofy spices. Their salad dressing is clearly house made and delicious. Straightforward oil, vinegar, spices. MMM!

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Former Republican congresswoman Jan Meyers has formally endorsed Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's re-election, six days after being listed among GOP moderates endorsing his Democratic challenger.
Brownback's campaign released a statement Monday from Meyers saying that she's pleased with Brownback's efforts to reduce the state's personal income taxes. She also said it's important for Republicans to rally around the governor.
Last week, the campaign of Democratic challenger Paul Davis announced the formation of a new group called Republicans for Kansas Values and listed more than 100 names of mostly former GOP office holders who had endorsed Davis. The list included Meyers, who represented the Kansas City-area 3rd Congressional District from 1985 to 1997.
But Meyers said the next day that she would never publicly endorse a Democrat.

Announcing the publication of what will come to be seen as the definitive portrayal of the amazing year that was 1967, 'the summer of love'

'1967' plots the course of a momentous year.
The year when pop turned into progressive rock and masterpieces from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones provided the soundtrack to what were revolutionary times. The novel by David Stuart Ryan, author of the bestselling 'John Lennon's Secret', describes the events as they happen month by month, through the non-stop kaleidoscope of the life of Paul Dane, an advertising copywriter, and his circle of friends. If you thought the world of 'Mad Men' was strange, the adventures in this volume will only confirm all your wildest suspicions. You live out the exhilarating, unpredictable but always totally engaging events, music and experimentation that stamped themselves on a year, and produced the legendary 'summer of love'.
There has probably never been a time when the women were so willing, the mood music so congenial, the artificial aids to expanded consciousness so freely available. You start to realize as you progress through the heady months of 1967 that everything is evolving at a fantastic speed, a whole year's evolution appears to take place in a month, or less, as the young suddenly and inexplicably begin to seek out their dreams and fantasies, aided and abetted by some of the best music every produced, the tracks that have become an intimate part of our lives and which continue to haunt and fascinate in equal measure.
'1967' takes you behind the scenes to give you an understanding of just what it was like to experience this tsunami of change, of hope and ultimately of changes with profound revolutionary implications that are even today working themselves out as the old ways are rejected, as a counter-revolution runs out of steam and the visions that beguiled a whole generation move into the mainstream.
And yes there is a lot of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. This is 1967. It is more 50 shades of psychedelic colour than the grey of a postwar world. What a trip you are about to embark upon.

Newest Read - Status Quo by Mark Rosendorf #Sci-Fi #Giveaway!
It's a conspiracy that leaves these lost souls stranded in a strange galaxy with a damaged ship surrounded by threats both human and alien. Even if this group worked together and managed to survive, could they – would they – return to the uncaring world that sent them to space to die? With the alternative looking exceedingly grim, the journey of Status Quo seems doomed. Or is it?
I am organziing a release day blitz on April 22nd for The Hypothesis of Giants Book One: The Assumption. If you are interested in participating please fill out this form.
Book Description:
For the past fifteen years no one questioned the Sacred Hour in the town of Candlewick. Until one night a mysterious conch shell sounds throughout the Sacred Hour, only to be heard by two young teenagers. Aurora Alvarez is a misfit amongst her peers, desperately trying to fit in but failing to live up to the expectations of her parents and society.
She unexpectedly discovers she is fated to ally herself with none other than rebellious Boreas Stockington, who allegedly escaped from the impenetrable Candlewick Prison. These two young teenagers must embark on a perilous adventure where they need to help Otus, a thirty-foot giant, prevent a cataclysmic event from occurring—the Geometric Storm.
The journey will take them far from the safety of Wishbone Avenue and into the depths of the unknown and the secrets of the past. However, nothing could prepare these unlikely heroes for facing their own inner demons and the realization that Aurora and Boreas are on this quest together, whether they want to be or not.

This past weekend, the world watched Scottie Thompson run for her life. For, like, an hour and a half. That was pretty much the gist of Skyline.
It's fan-made, so don't freak out.
Screw your metaphorical pain! Help that man!
Seeing how it's Veterans Day, we'd be remiss if we didn't honor, in our own special Screen Junkies way, those brave people who serve our country everyday. So, that said, we came up with an entire regiment of some of the more memorable servicemen seen on the big screen – from five stars to the lowly gun-totin' folks who aren't allowed patches yet – just like the Boy Scouts, you have to earn 'em.
Based on her short list of acting credits, it would appear that Crystal Reed has only been active for roughly the past year. Apparently that didn't stop her from nabbing a starring role in Skyline.
Since porno and adorable kittens are the Internet's chief exports, it was only a matter of time before a Tron: Legacy XXX porn parody rezzed into the real world. We'll keep you posted when an all-kitten parody appears.
As a former Miss California, Meagan Tandy is expertly trained in the art of being good looking. For the last few years, she's applied that training to the acting field, making brief appearances in "90210" and "Dark Blue" among other small-screen productions.

Hollywood has an overwhelming fascination with people who kill other people for a living, as evidenced by the release of Killers on Friday. The below movies center on characters with excellent marksmanship and a penchant for professional hits. Show us your skillz by naming all 20 movie titles in the comments section. The first three people to get them all correct will win a Break t-shirt. And don't get your panties in a bunch, we're getting Screen Junkies t-shirts soon. I know how badly you guys want to wear us on your backs.
Let your imagination do the rest.
One ticket, please.
Kick-Ass kicked a dragon's ass at the box office this past weekend, so we thought we'd honor the triumph by showcasing 25 real life superheroes. Maybe Kick-Ass can team up with Captain Ozone Ireland for the sequel. I heard he's got sweet nunchuck skillz.

Some of these vehicles are exact replicas of the ones in popular movies and TV shows, while others are simply inspired by the material. Regardless, they are all awesome, and some day I will own an airplane hanger where I can store the lot of them. Can you name the movies and shows they all come from?

Instagram Photos Reveal Just Who's Been in the Studio with The Foo Fighters
Instagram photos are harmless fun, right? Just a bunch of selfies and pictures of food, it seems – that is, until artists start promoting their albums. Justin Bieber kind of started the trend pre-Journals, and now Madonna, who shunned social media during her MDNA promotion in 2012, is at it by Instagramming her collaborations. The Foo Fighters look to be in on this trend, too, and started putting out photos of their studio sessions.
Previously, producer Butch Vig revealed the group are about halfway done the recording process and have been going around to various studios. Instagram, essentially, confirms this.
According to Spin, a recent series of Instagram pictures features David Grohl holding a BB rifle outside of Rancho de la Luna Studios in Joshua Tree, California. A photo from studio owner David Catching is then captioned with: "incredible 9 days of music recording magik."
Other photos show just who's been in the studio with them. A target practice picture, for instance, has Grohl, Pat Smear, and Masters of the Universe's Chris Goss, while other images include Vig, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, the Walflowers' Rami Jafree, engineer James Brown, and Fireball Ministry's Jim Rota.
While past Instagram photos, including one of master tapes, implied that the Foo Fighters may be done putting together a follow-up to 2011's Wasting Light, these new ones reveal the band is still in the process of putting something together.

The country's notoriously plaintiff-friendly law of defamation will be a tad less so under legislated reforms now taking effect. Under the Defamation Act 2013, complainants will need to show "serious harm," peer-reviewed scientific publications and material published in the public interest will gain a new defense, a single-publication rule will be introduced, and new rules intended to combat libel tourism will exclude cases with little connection to England or Wales. [BBC]

Authorities in Rugeley, Staffordshire, England, detained sandwich shop owner Neil Phillips for eight hours, searched his computer, fingerprinted him and swabbed him for DNA after a local elected official complained that Phillips had engaged in online jokes and comments on Facebook, including jokes about Nelson Mandela. [Birmingham Mail, The Star] Afterward, Phillips complained that the constabulary had "over-reacted massively": "There was no hatred. What happened to freedom of speech?" Charles Cooke explains at NRO:
Well, the Public Order Act of 1986 happened to freedom of speech – in particular, Section 5, which makes it a crime in England for anyone "with intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress" to
(a) [use] threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or (b) [display] any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting, thereby causing that or another person harassment, alarm or distress.
In other words, Section 5 allows anybody to have anybody else investigated for speaking. And they have. The arrests have run the gamut: from Muslims criticizing atheists to atheists criticizing Muslims….
Is it still legal for Britons to laugh at this Mark Steyn column?

Organizers at a church in Neath, Wales don't mind rules requiring the donkey-riding Mary in a childrens' Nativity play to be wearing a crash helmet, or as the case may be "riding hat." They say the eight-year-old's costuming can readily be arranged to conceal the anachronistic headgear during the Christmas procession. No word on whether, as at petting zoos, participants coming in contact with the animal will need to apply hand sanitizer before proceeding. Critics term the rule "'elf – 'n' – safety."

Unthinkable here, one presumes.

Growing out of the press-hacking scandal that has stirred so much outrage: "one of the key hackers mentioned in the report has admitted that 80 per cent of his client list was taken up by law firms, wealthy individuals and insurance firms while only 20 per cent of clients were from the media. … the most common industry employing criminal private detectives is understood to be law firms, including some of those involved in high-end matrimonial proceedings and litigators investigating fraud on behalf of private clients."

"Plans to ban the pint glass from pubs throughout the Highlands of Scotland have sparked outrage.

The Highland Licensing Board is now proposing to extend the scheme further, against objections from pub owners as well as critics of the Nanny State generally. [Telegraph]

Life without a First Amendment: "Eleven people across UK arrested for making 'racist or anti-religious' comments on Facebook and Twitter about British soldier's death" [Daily Mail (with notice: "Sorry, we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons"), more, The Lincolnite; Eugene Volokh (quoting British police: "People should stop and think about what they say on social media before making statements as the consequences could be serious")]
On a happier note, with regard to countering objectionable speech, the BBC reports that when members of the nativist English Defence League organized a gathering outside a mosque in the city of York, worshipers brought out tea and cookies and invited them inside for a chat.
Data point 2 about free speech in Britain: 11 lawyers have signed a letter in the Guardian "threatening supermarkets with immediate legal action" unless they remove from sale "lad's mags," men's magazines that are anathema to feminist campaigners. "Displaying these publications in workplaces, and/or requiring staff to handle them in the course of their jobs, may amount to sex discrimination and sexual harassment contrary to the Equality Act 2010," it says. "Similarly, exposing customers to these publications in the process of displaying them is capable of giving rise to breaches of the Equality Act." [Guardian; Toby Young, Telegraph; ITV] Young points out that reported incidents of domestic violence have fallen quite sharply since lad's mags became popular in the 1990s, making nonsense of claims that the publications somehow promote male aggression. For the campaigners, writes Toby Young, "this is simply about preventing men – predominantly working-class men – from buying magazines that they consider vulgar and in poor taste."
More in comments from Bill Poser: "Here's another: police in Wales ordered a shop-keeper to remove T-shirts saying 'Obey our laws, respect our beliefs, or go back to your own country.'"
And from the "It Can't Happen Here" department: "Justice Department to Hold Seminar Warning Against the Legal 'Consequences' of Anti-Muslim Speech." Let's hope there's some reporting error here.

Traditional refillable open-spouted vessels and dipping bowls will need to give way to "pre-packaged, factory bottles with a tamper-proof dispensing nozzle and labeling in line with EU industrial standards."

When voters are asked the exact question Conservatives want to put to the public in the 2017 referendum, "Do you think that the UK should remain a member of the EU?", 46 per cent opt to come out, a higher figure than in other recent polls, while just 30 per cent want to stay in.

An immigration judge has ruled that the British government cannot deport convicted drug dealer Hesham Ali, who has never been in the country legally, because he has a girlfriend and making him leave would therefore violate his "right to family life" under the Human Rights Act [Telegraph]:
He convinced a judge he had a "family life" which had to be respected because he had a "genuine" relationship with a British woman – despite already having two children by different women with whom he now has no contact.
Ali also mounted an extraordinary claim that his life would be in danger in his native Iraq because he was covered in tattoos, including a half-naked Western woman – a claim which was only dismissed after exhaustive legal examination.

What's The Hardest "Would You Rather" Question You Can Think Of?
Would you rather step into a phone booth full of bees or sleep in a room overrun with spiders?
1. Few games give us as much insight into the human condition as "Would You Rather."
2. You can tell so much about a person based on what they choose.
3. But the question itself is usually more important than the answer.
5. Would you rather never brush your teeth again or only shower once a year?
7. What's the most difficult "Would You Rather" question you can think of? Share with us below!

Count Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield, among those taking a stand against the victims of the celebrity hacking scandal which erupted two weeks ago.
After Glamour published a piece titled, "Why Aren't More Men in Hollywood Standing Up Against the Nude Photo Leak?" Garfield did so and adamantly.
The star, whose girlfriend Emma Stone was one of the few celebrities seemingly not violated by the hacker(s), told The Daily Beast that it sickens him:
"It's disgusting. 'I have a right to your naked body or images that you've sent to your husband, or lover.' It's disgusting. It's this abusive violation of divine womanhood."
"It's violent, it's misogynistic, it's revolting, and it's another example of what this distance has enabled us to do - it's enabled us to be disassociated from each other."
"There's enough awful s--t coming from it that hopefully we'll get to the point of, 'OK, wait a second.' What's scary is that we haven't reached that point yet."
"There hasn't been a referendum put on it. The internet is the new Wild West. There's a guy now taking these pictures and putting them up in an art gallery."
"What f--king right does he have to do that? It's absolutely revolting."

BOSTON - A Haverhill woman was sentenced today in federal court for adulterating cold medicine purchased from a drug store in violation of the adulteration provisions of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
REBECCA DESTEFANO, 27, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns to one year of probation after pleading guilty to adulteration of a drug.
At the June 30, 2011 plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that in October 2010, after obtaining cold medicine that had been purchased from a drug store in Haverhill, DESTEFANO used the cold medicine, refilled the medicine bottle with liquid dish soap, resealed the bottle, and returned the adulterated cold medicine to a different branch of the same drug store chain for a cash refund.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Mark Dragonetti, Special Agent in Charge of the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations made the announcement today. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy Sternberg of Ortiz's Health Care Fraud Unit.

No thought for the new younger generation of qualified men or women in their towns desperately needing that job. I have never heard of such greed.

There has been a lot of this in the news lately.In many cases, they retire one day, start collecting their pension, then go right back to work. The employer benefits because they are no longer paying pension costs, since the employee is already collecting their pension.I know of someone who is doing this in Texas.

Perhaps I´m playing devil´s advocate here, but how is this different from military collecting a pension and going to work for a government contractor? Both have risked their lives for their careers and somehow managed to make it through alive. Do you know what a college tuition costs? Most likely these folks have college aged kids. If not, what business is it of ours?? This is still America, is it not?

The issue here isn´t the cops. Looks like they´re smart, hard-working guys. More power to them.No, the problem is the unsustainable gravy train government salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. They´re like free theft of taxpayer funds, and it´s a feeding frenzy right now. Well, they better enjoy it because it´s all going to collapse. I´ve seen a very reputable study that predicts about 40% of such government pension plans are going to bankrupt their agencies. Believe it. They won´t stop until it´s a total collapse.

I don´t see anything wrong with retired police officers getting another job. Eighty thousand dollars probably isn´t that much in NY´s highly inflated economy and if the other job pays $150,000, that´s not their fault. They also get experienced personnel instead of people they have to train.

Meanwhile, the non-union, professional staff at the PA haven´t had a merit or cost of living increase in five years. I don´t begrudge the cops for what they´re doing, but why isn´t there any focus on the people who actually design, build and repair the bridges, tunnels, ship yards and airports. They are doing more work than they did five years ago, thanks mostly to people leaving for more money but they haven´t made a penny more in all that time regardless of performance.

November 28, 2014
September is being recognized as recovery month in Illinois. People fueling addictions to drugs and alcohol use 294 billion dollars every year.
During recovery month, Rosecrance clinic in Rockford is asking stateliners to send letters to legislators and local leaders about the importance of funding for recovery from addictions.
From alcohol, to drugs each one of them can easily become an addiction for anyone.
Jennifer Kaufman knows this all to well.
She suffered from addiction, and went through treatment at Rosecrance. After several years of counseling Jennifer has come full circle.
She is now an addiction counselor at Rosecrance, with a normal caseload of 30 to 35 patients.
According to Rosecrance administrators, Jennifer' success can be anyone's.
They are asking people who suffer from addictions, and those who don't, to participate in join the "Voices of Recovery: A Call to Action" writing to local and federal leaders, asking for recovery funding to be maintained.

We did the offensive lines, now here are the guys they block for. We'll use stats like broken tackles and success rate to figure out which teams have the best running backs, which teams have the worst, and which teams have the worst who would have been the best if this was currently 2010.

Sigh. Honestly, what is going on with linebackers and injuries this offseason? This is a huge blow to the Bills' defense, which was much better than most people realized last season. We know Nigel Bradham is nowhere near as good as Alonso, and it's hard to imagine that third-round rookie Preston Brown will be -- although hey, Alonso was a somewhat unknown second-rounder last year at this time. You never know.

We're almost at July, which means people are going to start wondering when the 2014 KUBIAK fantasy football projections and Football Outsiders Almanac 2014 are going to show up for sale on Football Outsiders. I wanted to let everyone know about this year's delays. Both KUBIAK and the book will be delayed this year. We're hoping it's not for more than a week or two, but I'll be honest, there's a possibility the book won't be ready until early August. KUBIAK, at least, should be ready by July 16.

Doug Farrar, Cian Fahey, and I had a bit of an e-mail round robin about Flowers about a month ago, before Kansas City cut him. Flowers had phenomenal charting stats in 2012 -- top ten in both Adjusted Success Rate and Adjusted Yards per Pass -- and then horrific charting stats in 2013. Looking closer with two film guys, though, it looked like less of a case of getting old and more a case of player and scheme really not matching. The Chiefs had always played Flowers on one side, period. Suddenly in 2013 they were moving him all over, sometimes into the slot.

I first learned about synaesthesia in my cognition class last fall. I was fascinated yet perplexed by the idea that some people are able to see colors when they look at letters or taste foods when they hear certain sounds. I did not understand how a perceptual stimulus could evoke a response from a sensory mechanism different from its own. I soon learned that this effect arose due to "links" in the brain that connect the regions responsible for different senses. However, what exactly are these "links" in the brain and how do they give rise to synaesthesia?
The topic ofchildhood depression is an increasingly growing field of psychology because itis an increasingly growing problem that has no good solution. Treatment foradult depression includes many kinds of therapy, some neurological work, andmedication. Treating many problems adults have with medication has been mostuseful, but can we use the same medication that treats adults, on children?
Controlling food intake and energy balance are an important homeostatic mechanism of the human body, partly mediated by dopamine (DA) pathways in the cerebrum. DA augments the behavioral drive for stimulus reward, although it is not directly responsible for the hedonistic sensation itself. However, this feedback pathway is subject to pathologic reinforcement through aberrant behaviors, which paradoxically could reinforce both the overconsumption of food in Binge Eating Disorder and excessive dieting in Anorexia Nervosa.

Neuro Paper II
The gaunt frame, the lifeless skin and hair, the fidgeting with what little food there is on the plate, these
trademark symptoms alert most people to the fact that someone they know might have anorexia. However,
no one seems to know exactly what causes anorexia or how to treat it. This has been the subject of much
scientific debate recently, and there is evidence that neurobiology plays a part in this disease.
Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)
