Not sure where to put this but legal is as good as any,
I'll try and keep this as short as possible,
My gudgeon pin sheared on my 2012 CBR125R after 5500miles, got it picked up all under warranty but had to wait over a month for the work to be done, apparently they had to wait for a component I was told the head was on back order. I was offered no alternative to use whilst the work was done and no compensation for the amount of time I couldn't use the bike (it's my daily ride and saves me around £150 a month on petrol alone). I'm still waiting to hear back from the head guy at Honda customer services been over a week now.
I picked the bike up today to find tooling damage on the engine, a fastener missing from the fairing and the bike hadn't been cleaned at all.
Is this standard customer service from Honda? Can I do anything about it?
Cheers for any ideas/comments

These problems are caused by the Honda outlet (franchised dealer) not Honda themselves.
First deal with the dealership, then if no satisfaction is forthcoming then get in touch with Honda to see what help Assistance you can get from them.
Remember to document everything should you need to proceed through the small claims court system.
Well that's how I would handle it, but then you could always go the revengeful hard arse biker route but that usually ends up with you not getting to use your bike as the bars get in the way.

Seems strange as Honda dealers I've used always provide one if asked...
Well to be honest I only got annoyed after I found out they were going to have the bike for another two weeks, I contacted Honda Customer services to find out why it was taking so long to get a part and what compensation I would get for not having my bike for over a month. When they said in this case none due to it being under warranty or something I got annoyed.
Your right I should have asked for a loan bike but I didn't think it was going to take nearly 6 weeks to sort out but I guess I just thought that they would provide something for me either in the way of a loan bike or a free service, new tires?
I dont think I've gone about this the right way but I have contacted honda customer services and the dealer and I've got dates and times of all correspondence as well as pictures of the damage on the bike and the fatener that was missing. I'm not normally a complainer because I've never had to be, always been treated fairly but I just feel like they are taking the piss a bit.
Just a quick update, went for a ride to beak the engine in and 30miles in the engine cut out, electrical this time. Mr AA came and the battery isn't getting charged so back off to Honda tomorrow...

After School - About
Many people do not realize that, as a whole, the YMCA is the largest provider of child care in the United States. We believe that the quality of child care cannot be undervalued and thus every YMCA program is grounded in our character development traits of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith.

We believe that the quality of child care cannot be undervalued, and thus, every YMCA program is grounded in our character development traits of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith.
In our afterschool program, children will have the opportunity to be physically active for a minimum of 60 minutes as they engage in numerous activities such as Kids Zone, swimming, soccer, agility exercises, circle games, kickball, group building activities, and more!
Our afterschool program begins immediately when school lets out until 6:00 P.M. Our staff is well trained and you can depend on the Y to make sure that all of the afterschool activities are well supervised. Our average staff to student ratio is 1:10, which is much lower than the state recommendations, and helps ensure that children get the individual attention and time needed to form positive relationships in the group setting. All of our staff are interviewed and go through a complete background check prior to being hired. As role models, they are selected for sound judgment, maturity, experience, enthusiasm, and creativity. Training occurs both before and throughout the school year to assure attention to detail. Furthermore, all staff are certified in CPR and First Aid.
Currently, we have program sites located in New Hanover County at
The Wilmington Family YMCA - 2710 Market Street, Wilmington, NC, 28403

Herpes Zoster (Shingles)What Is Shingles? Shingles is a very painful disease caused by the same herpes virus that causes chicken pox (varicella zoster virus). Like other herpes viruses, the varicella-zoster virus has an initial infectious stage, (chicken pox) followed by a dormant stage. Then, with no warning, the virus becomes active again. About 20% of people who have had chicken pox will eventually develop shingles. This reactivation of the virus is most likely to...

UPDATE: Monday, May 20, 2013
Oklahoma's state medical examiner's office says a second person was killed by a tornado that leveled a central Oklahoma mobile home park.
Office spokeswoman Amy Elliott on Monday identified the two people who are confirmed to have been killed during Sunday's storms as 79-year-old Glen Irish and 76-year-old Billy Hutchinson. Both men were from Shawnee.
One of several tornadoes that touched down in parts of the nation's midsection on Sunday leveled the Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park near Shawnee.
It wasn't immediately clear if both victims lived at the mobile home park.
An Oklahoma sheriff is crediting early warnings for a low death toll during a tornado outbreak that ravaged the Plains and Midwest.
Authorities say a 79-year-old man died Sunday when a twister flattened much of a mobile home park southeast of Oklahoma City. Sheriff Mike Booth credited TV and radio stations that provided wall-to-wall broadcasts of the violent weather.
Lindsay Carter, of Shawnee, says she fled her home when she heard a tornado was coming. When she returned, she had lost part of her home's roof, but some of her neighbors' homes had vanished.
Forecasters say tornadoes could hit Monday in parts of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma — roughly the same area hit Sunday night.

|Tulsa quarterback Paul Smith wins Wuerrfel Trophy in recognition of his volunteer work
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 04 December 2007 11:16
Smith had three 400-yard passing games this season while leading the nation's most productive offense. He also carries a 3.84 grade-point average, and is the president of Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the university. Smith devotes time to an inner city ministry and programs that educate young people to make positive choices about drugs and alcohol.
``I'm really honored. It's not just an award to me, it's about a person. He's someone I grew up watching and wanting to be like,'' Smith said in a statement. ``I was raised in a Christian home by Christian parents and grandparents. He's lived his life in a way that is pleasing to the Lord and that's something my parents have wanted me to do.''
Smith set a school record with 4,753 yards passing this season, throwing for at least 300 yards in each of Tulsa's games to lead the Golden Hurricane to the Conference USA title game.
Tulsa will face Bowling Green in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 6.
Wuerrfel won the Heisman Trophy in 1996 while leading Florida to the national championship. The award has been given out by the All Sports Association of Fort Walton Beach the past three years. Past winners were LSU's Rudy Niswanger and Ohio State's Joel Penton.

WICHITA, Kan. -- Tracy Robles wants to get medical marijuana legalized in hopes of giving her six-year-old daughter Sofie a voice again.
Sofie's dark hair, brown eyes and smile light up a room, but daily seizures since she was 18-months-old have controlled her life.
"She was on so many medicines that she slept and had seizures," said Sofie's mother Tracy Robles. "That was the extent of her two years."
Sofie is now in first grade. She can't talk. She eats only ground-up food and she still drinks from a sippy cup.
"You really understand how long 30 seconds is," said Robles. "When you watch your daughter go through a seizure, it feels like an eternity."
Robles is joining a growing effort in lobbying state lawmakers to get medical marijuana legalized.
"It is not people who are looking to get high," she said. "There are people with real medical issues, and it has been shown to help with it. They would like the opportunity to try it."
The plant is made into an oil. Children like Sofie, who are given small amounts of the oil, see dramatic results. Many have Fewer seizures, better sleep and no side effects.
It's a desperate plea from one mother who simply wants her little girl to stop suffering.
"The possibility of her having seizure control, and maybe being able to speak is worth so much."

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté eggplant until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in mirin mixture and cook, gently stirring and turning frequently, until sauce becomes a glaze and eggplant is browned and tender, about 1 minute.
Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with chives.
Cooks' notes:
Eggplant can be sliced, salted, rinsed, and pressed 1 day ahead. Chill, covered.
Eggplant, without chives, can be made 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.

Brisket- Slow cooked Recipes??? & Pot Roast
- nbermas Apr 17, 2007 02:39 PM
Anyone have any good ones please? Why do you like your recipe?
Nach Waxman's brisket from the Silver Palate New Basics Cookbook:
There is also the classic with an envelope of Liptons onion soup mix, a bottle of chili sauce, and 1 cup of red wine. Mix them all together & pour over the brisket. Cover and cook at about 350 until it's tender when pierced with a fork (about 3 or 4 hours). Add more red wine if it starts to get dry.
Here I am replying again but I forgot to mention to always cut of the chine (the layer of fat) before you cook the brisket otherwise you will have a greasy, fatty mess.
Really easy...but...good for summer BBQ..
Cut the fat off, first.
The last time I made a brisket, we used a local BBQ Sauce (very thick, low sugar so no burning) and roasted whole, covered in the oven for 2 hours or so. Then took the cover off and let it get a bit crusty. Took about 1 bottle of sauce. I like Arthur Bryant's Sauce from Kansas City.
I would barbecue brisket over a low and slow smoker for many hours. If outside cooking is not possible, roast it over low (225-250) in your oven for several hours, until you can shred it with your fingers. Roast fat side up, so the fat will keep the meat moist. You can wrap the meat in foil after several hours if it seems to be drying out. Both ways, rub it with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder or other favorite spice rub. I would serve sauce on the side. you can also brush it with sauce and finish on a higher heat to caramelize it.
The best oven cooked brisket starts with liberally shaking on a bottle of liquid smoke over it and putting it in the fridge overnight....Next morning, draining the marinade and cooking it in a 275 degree oven for 5 hours, remove from oven, cover with you favorite BBQ sauce and cook for another hour...Let cool a bit and slice it diagonally....I am basing this on a 5=6 lb brisket....Oh, and fat side up...
re: jinet12
Do you really shake a whole bottle of liquid smoke on it? Just wondering.
Take a 4-5 lb brisket, trim the fat cap a bit. Rub all over with salt, pepper, dried onion and dried minced garlic. Wrap and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Cook in a roasting pan, covered, at 275 for four hours. Uncover and cook another two hours. Slice and serve with a homemade smokey bbq sauce.
Why do I like it? Because it's simple, it doesn't have a whole bunch of ingredients, which really makes the flavor of the meat shine, and it's fall-apart tender.
I haven't made this, but I sampled it at a Whole Foods and it was terrific. Lots of flavor, tender as could be. Better than the brisket I have made in the past.
I've developed a hybrid of Arthur Schwartz's (formerly of Food Talk on WOR-AM in NYC) brisket recipe and my Mom's. It's super easy and requires no browning -- honest. I've tried it with and without browning the meat, and find no difference. Long, slow oven braising makes it incredibly tender and the beer/chili sauce combination, while sounding a bit weird, really works. And yes, three pounds of onions may sound like a lot, but they contribute to a wonderful gravy.
3 very large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 whole brisket, patted dry with paper towel, fat trimmed
½ tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds yellow onions, halved and sliced
4 medium carrots, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
3 large ribs of celery, sliced into 1-inch pieces
4 bay leaves
2 bottles Heinz chili sauce
2 12-oz. bottles good quality dark beer
Preheat oven to 350°
Rub chopped garlic onto both sides of the brisket. Sprinkle with salt and ground pepper.
Spread onions, carrots and celery in a roasting pan. Place the meat over the vegetables. Put two bay leaves under the meat and two on top of the meat.
Combine chili sauce and beer in a large bowl. Carefully pour mixture over meat.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and cook in oven for 4 hours. Remove from oven, remove foil and allow meat to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.
Strain liquid into a fat separator and pour off fat. Add liquid and vegetables from pan to a saucepan. Using an immersion blender, puree some of the vegetables, leaving some in large pieces for texture. Reheat gravy. Serve over sliced meat.

the Botanical gardens are wonderfully nurtured and the greenery sets it apart from the rest.

The Great Banyan Tree
The botanical garden is located in Shibpur, on the west bank of the river Hooghly in Kolkata. The garden is spread over 272 acres of luxuriant greenery, which is in the suburbs of the city. The cynosure of the Botanical Gardens is the huge 250-year-old Banyan tree. The garden has a historical past that dates back to the British regime when Kolkata was the capital of India and there was an influx of Europeans from all over the world. Colonel Robert Kyd is credited for the foundation of the Garden, he in a letter dated 1st June 1786 initiated the proposal of its establishment. He was an amateur botanist apart from being a Secretary to the Board in the Military Department of Fort William, and thought this would be valuable for the trade and commerce a well. April 1787 marked the beginning of the preparatory works for the Garden.
Kyd undertook schemes under which initially nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, pepper vines, etc were planted but that failed due to the unsuitable climatic conditions. Same was the case with Equatorial fruits. It is noted that Kyd introduced some 300 species of plants into the Garden. His successor, William Roxburgh, took charge of the Garden on 29 November 1793, Roxburgh introduced the Mahogany tree into the Garden from West Indian seeds sent by the COURT OF DIRECTORS in 1794-95. There is a claim that every Mahogany tree in the region was basically derived from these imports. Similarly, teak was also for the first time planted in the Calcutta Botanic Garden, though Teak plantations were not successful in Bengal. Roxburgh experimented with fibrous plants and they were more successful of his other experiments.
The Botanical Gardens is laced with a variety of flower and fruit bearing trees. The centerpiece of the garden is undoubtedly the enormous 250-year-old Banyan tree. Besides, a large variety of aquatic plants, particularly the Victoria Amazonica is especially very attractive. The Sicilian double coconut tree, the multibranched Palmyra tree, bamboo trees, and a huge variety of cactus, orchids and other flowering plants makes this place a wonderful location to spend some time discovering the wide variety of flora and natural vegetation.
The Library of the Garden was enhanced and improved by the purchase of Thomson`s personal library. Thomson took charge of the Garden on 17th April 1855. This place is an ultimate paradise for people with interest in botany and they will find a rare collection of monographs at the in-house library. This place away from the noise of the city provides a refining experience for the visitors imparting knowledge and visual treat. There are no fees charged for entering the Garden, and one can best enjoy during sunsets and mornings.

Sometimes, you need your cap to say to folks that you mean business, in a way a Braves or a Yankees cap could. This "Nokohama" cap, a variation to the original Braves logo for Chief Noc-a-homa literally screams "DON'T F*CK WITH ME" while you order your mid-day caramel macchiato from Starbucks.
The good folks over at We Are The Process are releasing in three different color variations of the Nokohama cap. (Green/Yellow, Navy/Red and Black/Burgundy.) The caps will be made available online at WeAreTheProcess.com, and at select stores that stock WATP. The "Nokohama" cap was recently profiled at SXSW's Style X showcase at Austin Convention Center this weekend and was received quite well. Style X is in its second year as a component of SXSW, and We Are the Process has been selected as one of the emerging brands to showcase their talents.
Personally, I'll be rocking the green and yellow Nokohama cap. Since I have nothing to wear with the hat (other than some green Nike Zoom KD 3's that are still in the box)…time for me to go find some gear.

[QUOTE]If Beckett continues to dominate, the RS win the division and get to the WS, and Beckett gets his IP up there (right now, he only has 19 starts, but his IP is 50-60 less than Weaver, Verlander, and CC, who have 22/23 starts), he would establish himself as a more viable candidate IMO than Sabathia. WHIP is better, team does better, ERA is lower, both pitch in the AL East, whichever leads his team further is the better candidate, I think.

Creamed Chipped Beef or SOS over Toast
Pin It
31 comments:
- natural selection said...
I can't believe this. I have completely forgot about this meal when I was young before leaving to spend the day with my father. He would make this for the both of us while the rest of the family stayed in bed.
I loved it and I'm going to make it for nostalgia sake..
ps. I have never heard anyone refer to it as SOS except my father and uncles.

What a great wife you are to prepare it special for your hubby:)
Both versions sound great to me. Coming from the east coast, I have never heard of this before, but I love anything in a creamy sauce. Thanks!
- September 29, 2010 at 9:03 AM
- Sheila said...
Oh gosh!! Thanks for the memories. I don't know why I stopped making this but I did. I love it--it's quick, easy and tasty too. I've never had it with an egg on top--maybe we'll try that too. Thanks again.
- September 29, 2010 at 9:19 AM
- Katerina said...
I have never tried this type of meal. I think I would like your version more. Somehow I have connencted cream sauce with pieces of beef and not ground. Yours looks like the perfect comfort food.

- Lyndsey said...
I was wondering why they looked so different. I sure miss my mom's SOS, I did like that meal...and that reminds me I need to make it again! Now there were lots of meals that I had to eat (because that's what we did back then) there was no way my mom would make separate meals for us like they do now days! They just didn't have the money and creamed chipped beef on toast was an inexpensive meal to make. I wonder if my daughter would like it? I like it your way...we don't really eat ground beef.n Thanks for the memories!

I guarantee that my husband would love this. He loves anything hearty and meaty!

I haven't had this in years. I think it was the only military food my dad would eat once he was a civilian again.
- September 29, 2010 at 10:30 AM
- Kristen said...
What a coincidence, we had chipped beef on toast for breakfast this morning. In our house, SOS is always with ground beef. My father was in the military, too, and that's how they served it (with the egg, too). So, if it's SOS for breakfast, it's hamburger, if it's chipped beef on toast, it's the thin, processed stuff. I agree with you, I prefer the chipped beef.
- September 29, 2010 at 10:38 AM
- StephenC said...
The ground beef variation sounds great. I'm inspired to go get some chipped beef, though, and have a nostalgic meal of it. I'm amused that none of your comments have included the question "What's SOS?"
- September 29, 2010 at 10:56 AM
- Food, Fun and Life in the Charente said...
I have never heard of chipped beef. It is obviously prepared some way because you say about soaking it to remove the salt. Has it any other name? Maybe it is just salt beef but interested to know. Diane

My mom used to make this for us when we were little. Thanks for posting the recipes....this will be a perfect easy dinner for a chilly fall night! :)

natural selection, what a good dad! Glad it brought back good memories for you!
Raina, thank you! He wishes I would cook spam for him! I'm not sure where or how this originated.
Sheila, great! It is definitely quick and easy!
Katerina, thank you! It's really good and creamy!
Lyndsey, you're so right. If mom made potato soup or anything else I didn't like, I either ate it or made a PB sandwich. My mom did not insist we eat the food but Bill's mom did insist upon it. Neither one of them made separate meals for anyone! I don't either except for this dish. Hope you try it for your daughter!
jose manuel, gracias! Es alimento de la comodidad. Saludos.
Courtney, good! This dish seems to bring back a lot of memories.
Emily Z, yes, I imagine it's a meal most men would like.
Mimi, same with Bill as I can't think of anything else right now.
Kristen, great coincidence! I want to eat breakfast at your side. Funny with the two versions of this dish.
StephenC, it surely is a bit of nostalgia. I definitely thought someone would ask about the SOS also. That proves how knowledgeable bloggers are, I guess!
Food, Fun and Life in the Charente, chipped beef is the only name I know for it. It comes in a vacuum bag which is what I buy or in a jar. It's sliced paper thin and is very salty but good! Here's a link to it: http://www.buddig.com/products.aspx
Missy B., yes, it's a good winter meal! Thanks!
Holly, it's the Army way with the egg evidently. It's good though!
Jennifurla, I'm sure he would!
grace, thanks!
Joanne, something new to you then! It's really good but definitely not something to eat often.

I have never heard of chipped beef before. Isn't it funny how living in different regions effect the types of food we are exposed to? I enjoyed seeing these tasty photographs and hearing about your connection to the dish. Thank you for sharing!

I never make this, but when I visit my mom I usually ask her to make it for me because I love it. I don't know why I have never made it at home. I guess it is just one of those dishes that remind me of being a kid again.

My Dad said he ate SOS almost every day while in the service during WWII, but Mom still made it when I was a kid - with chipped beef. I don't know if Dad liked it, but I do til this day.

June 16, 2010
On June 17, people across the country will "Dump the Pump" and ride public transportation on the 5th annual National Dump the Pump Day. Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), which is partnering with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Sierra Club this year, the National Dump the Pump Day is a public awareness day that highlights the benefits of public transportation, two of which are saving money and promoting energy independence.
"This year offers more than an opportunity for people to save money by using public transit," said APTA President William Millar. "Given the Gulf spill crisis, Americans can also make a statement in support of public transit and its ability to help our country reduce its reliance on oil.
"U.S. public transit ridership saves 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually," Millar said. "America needs to be energy independent and public transportation plays a critical role in our country attaining energy independence."
Representatives from the NRDC and the Sierra Club agree that public transportation is part of the solution for helping our country reduce its reliance on oil.
"Preventing future national tragedies like the Gulf spill requires moving America beyond oil, and Dump the Pump Day reminds us that public transportation options such as trains and buses are important tools for driving down our dangerous dependence," said Deron Lovaas, NRDC Federal Transportation policy director.
"Taking transit this Thursday and every day after is something we all can do in response to the BP oil disaster," said Ann Mesnikoff, the Sierra Club's green transportation campaign director. "Public transportation is key to ending our dependence on oil and reducing our global warming pollution."
Besides helping our country reduce its dependence on oil, people can also help improve their bank balances. The average household spends 18 cents of every dollar on transportation and 94 percent of this goes to buying, maintaining, and operating cars — the largest expenditure after housing. In addition, according to the monthly APTA Transit Savings Report, which tracks savings for public transit users, the national average savings per year is more than $9,000 for an individual in a two-person household who downsizes from two cars to one car.
More than 120 public transportation systems are participating in National Dump the Pump Day activities this year. Some public transit systems are offering free or reduced rides; holding contests with giveaways such as free transit passes; and spreading the word through social media. Proclamations have been issued, including one from Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson.

If you fancy following in the footsteps of your United heroes while raising money for charity, and getting into the festive spirit at the same time, then the seventh annual Manchester United Foundation Santa Run is just for you!
Sunday 15 December is the date to pencil in, when you can opt for either the 5km route for more serious runners or the 2km family fun. Both start and end at Old Trafford, with the longer route starting at 11.30am taking in the Imperial War Museum, the Lowry Theatre and Media City. The shorter run starts at 12.30pm and will head around the stadium.
But runs both end in some style, with the finishing line at the end of the players tunnel in the Theatre of Dreams itself!
It's £20 for family entrance, £10 for a single entry and £5 for kids. The price includes a Santa hat for kids and a full Santa suit for adults.
The worthy causes supported by the Foundation – Francis House Children's Hospice, The Christie and Unicef – will all benefit from the money raised by the entrance fees, but runners can raise money for any other cause if they wish.
There'll also be plenty of festive fun around the ground on the day, with Santa taking time off from his preparations to drop into his grotto, a brass band playing your favourite Christmas tunes and a fancy dress competition.
Don't miss out - book your tickets here!

"Come, now. Do it for me."
He quivers under me: hips splayed open, on his stomach, lower back curled so his ass is in the air. He has been waiting. He has been holding back.
"Now, faggot. This is your one chance."
He comes easily, so of course it is something I like to control, withhold. Our sexual play isn't about his pleasure.
"Five … four … three … "
He bucks back into me, buried to the hilt in his ass. I can feel his other hole convulsing just from having my fingers on the outside. He starts shaking, his tight faggot hole slick from lube and my come already pushed deep inside him. I'm not moving. I'm just buried deep, holding him.
He comes. Bucking, clawing at the sheets.
"That's it." I relax. "That's what I wanted."

Life as a 40DDDDDDDDDDD
Glo's writer reveals what it's really like to have super-sized breasts.
Then there are comments that are meant to be compliments—but aren't. I'm constantly told, "You hide your figure well" or, "Doesn't it bother you that men only want you for your breasts?" With a mix of both envy and disparagement, women will say, "I wish you could give me some of yours; I'm so flat." And then, of course, there is the question on everyone's mind (even possibly your own): Why don't you get a breast reduction?
Aside from the possible side effects of the surgery—death (a risk of any surgery utilizing anesthesia), inability to breastfeed, and loss of breast and nipple sensation—I won't undergo a breast reduction for the same reason I won't get a face lift: I am who I am, and for the most part, I'm happy with myself. I'm lucky. I may be a 40N, but my breasts don't hurt me—and pain, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the only valid reasons to undergo surgery. My upper back doesn't ache, nor do my shoulders have angry red indentations from a lifetime of tight bra straps.
And while I do see the benefits of being able to lead a more active life, I'm not yet convinced that it's reason enough to go under the knife. Many women cite "hanging breasts" or "stretched skin" as other reasons for surgery, but why can't signs of age and experience be celebrated—or, at the very least, accepted—not shunned?

April 2, 2013
According to a TTC release, customers frequently report irksome behaviors of their fellow riders on the subway, such as wearing bulky backpacks, putting feet on seats, bags on seats, eating meals, playing loud music and personal grooming. The TTC created this special explainer video about the "personal car," which shows TTC Executive Director, Corporate Communications Brad Ross (left) and Chief Customer Officer Chris Upfold acting out "offensive behaviors" such as talking loudly on cellphones and eating food, to help illustrate the faux initiative.The TTC could have created an ad campaign to lecture and cajole those whose behaviours, while riding the TTC, are less than considerate. Instead, it produced this video on April Fool's Day to help drive home some important points (in a light-hearted manner) about the need for greater consideration of others while taking public transit, according to the TTC.While the "personal car" was not real, not even until noon on April 1, the TTC does, in all sincerity, encouraged its customers to consider others that day and every day while riding the TTC, the release said.

May 10, 2013travis is always great band!!!!!!!!!!! it's shame that they are not known like coldplay or radiohead but the actually they're of free bands who prefer artistry rather than sales and fame..........
Dec 8, 2013This is crazy... I did not like Travis till this album, for my taste as a musician that I am, they were good... but depressing. This album comes, (except for the first song), in a happy, optimistic, well played and inspired way. For all that say that it sounds like classic Travis believe me, it doesn't. Good mood pretty much go from Selfish Jean to New Amsterdam, they are (thank god) downs too in this album, but it is pretty much very fun to listen to. If you like the depressing part of Travis this is probably not the album for you. Now I can look back and listen to the "old" stuff and love it too, pretty much I understand the sad part of Travis in an artistic way.… Expand
Travis has taken the last four years to square their sunnier sound with their darker one. The Boy With No Name pulls this off without seeming overly planned or calculated. [#17, p.87]
Overall, The Boy With No Name has just enough personality to remind imitators like Coldplay and Keane from whence they came. [Jun 2007, p.151]
There are plenty more wishy-washy guitar tunes present like the drippy, tambourine laced Battleships, the wheezing Out in Space and the sub-danger of Eyes Wide Open; all riddled with Fran Healy's girlish croon. Spare us.

Wildfire near Cañon City (essentially) 100 percent contained
Published On: Aug 06 2014 08:21:52 AM CDT
Updated On: Jul 02 2014 11:45:27 AM CDT
Updated On: Jul 02 2014 11:45:27 AM CDT
Firefighters say they've done all they can do to contain the wildfire that burned about 500 acres in a rugged canyon near Cañon City.
Only about 65 percent of the area around the Eightmile Fire is accessible and crews have built containment lines all along those portions.
A new fire started a mile away from the fire on Tuesday. Crews have built lines all around that blaze, the Phantom Fire. It's not clear how it started.
Crews will be patrolling that area with engines on Wednesday.

Dandelion Salad
July 30, 2012
Fraternities, sororities and football, along with other outsized athletic programs, have decimated most major American universities. Scholarship, inquiry, self-criticism, moral autonomy and a search for artistic and esoteric forms of expression—in short, the world of ethics, creativity and ideas—are shouted down by the drunken chants of fans in huge stadiums, the pathetic demands of rich alumni for national championships, and the elitism, racism and rigid definition of gender roles of Greek organizations. These hypermasculine systems perpetuate a culture of conformity and intolerance. They have inverted the traditional values of scholarship to turn four years of college into a mindless quest for collective euphoria and athletic dominance.

Opening with twenty new poems and including generous selections from Jane Kenyon's four previous books—From Room to Room, The Boat of Quiet Hours, Let Evening Come, and Constance—this collection was selected and arranged by Kenyon herself—alongside her husband, the esteemed poet Donald Hall—shortly before her death in April 1995. This extensive gathering reveals a scrupulously crafted body of work in which poem after poem achieves a rare and somber grace. Light and shade are never far apart in these telling narratives of life and love and work at the poet's rural New Hampshire home. The shadow of depression in Kenyon's verse, which grew much darker and longer at certain intervals, has the force and heft of a spiritual presence—a god, demon, angel. Yet her work emphasizes the constant effort of her imagination to confront and even find redemption in suffering. However quiet or domesticated or subtle in her moods and methods, Kenyon was a poet who sought to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary, and her poems continue to make this discovery. As Hall writes in the afterword to Otherwise, we share "her joy in the body and the creation, in flowers, music, and paintings, in hayfields and a dog." Amazon.com ReviewThis collection stands as something of a tribute to Jane Kenyon, who died in 1995 at the age of 48. Otherwise contains 20 new poems plus selected works from her four previous collections. The situations from which her lively writing arise often came from her daily life in and around the New Hampshire farm where she lived with her husband. The simple settings provides fertile ground for her richness of language. "As late as yesterday ice preoccupied the pond--dark, half-melted, waterlogged. Then it sank in the night, one piece, taking winter with it. And afterward everything seems simple and good." Beautiful, gracious poetry.

§ 23-220.5. Community College Workforce Training Grant Fund.
There is hereby created in the state treasury a special nonreverting fund to be known as the Community College Workforce Training Grant Fund, referred to in this section as "the Fund." The Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller. All funds as may be appropriated by the General Assembly and any gifts, grants, or donations from public or private sources shall be paid into the state treasury and credited to the Fund. Interest earned on moneys in the Fund shall remain in the Fund and be credited to it. Any moneys remaining in the Fund, including interest thereon, at the end of each fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund but shall remain in the Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used solely for the purposes of providing grants in response to applications to the Community College Workforce Training Grant Program pursuant to § 23-220.6. Expenditures and disbursements from the Fund, which shall be in the form of grants, shall be made by the State Treasurer on warrants issued by the Comptroller upon written request signed by the Chancellor of Community Colleges.
§ 23-220.6. Community College Workforce Training Grant Program.

No community college shall receive more than 15 percent of the total moneys in the Fund in any given year.
C. A community college shall apply to the Board for a grant for expanding and improving the college's noncredit workforce training programs. Grants shall be issued in the order that each completed eligible application is received. In the event that the amount of eligible grants requested in a fiscal year exceeds the funds available in the Fund, such grants shall be paid in the next fiscal year in which funds are available.
D. The Board, in consultation with the Virginia Workforce Council and local business and industry leaders, shall identify high employer demand fields for each community college region.
E. The Board shall establish general requirements for applying and qualifying for a grant.
