In 1969 Reliance introduced the compact and rugged Series 500 time switches. The Series 500 has been used on billboards, water heaters, lighting and any place electrical power needs to be controlled on a daily schedule. Today the Series 500 is the quality standard for the industry.
In 1983, Reliance introduced the first manual transfer switches engineered specifically for use with portable generators of up to 5000W.
In 1995, Reliance Controls Corporation introduced Panel/Link® manual transfer panels and generator-ready load centers for use with standby generating systems to 31.5kW.
In 1999, Reliance Controls Corporation introduced the Easy/Tran® for use with traffic signals, cell towers, irrigation systems, community well pumps and more. The Easy/Tran is the original "point-of-use" transfer switch.
In 2003, the original Reliance Gen/Tran(TM) line of manual transfer switches was replaced with the vastly improved Pro/Tran® Series which accommodates portable generators of up to 12,500W. The Pro/Tran® is also the first loadside transfer switch to be listed to the new, and more stringent, UL1008 standard.
In 2005, Reliance Controls Corporation added the Pro/Tran® Q Series. The Q is a totally unique loadside transfer switch featuring conventional 1-inch interchangeable circuit breakers for easy upgrading and adjusting of branch circuit protection on the generator side of the transfer switch. It is ideal for heavier residential loads such as water heaters, deep well pumps, septic lift stations and central air conditioners. The Q Series is available with the exclusive Reliance electronic bar graph meter which monitors voltage and wattage on each generator leg.
As the leader in portable standby power integration, Reliance Controls Corporation has contributed more innovations than any other single manufacturer and has been awarded over 30 patents on manual transfer switches and accessories. And after nearly a century of innovation, Reliance Controls Corporation has built an enviable reputation for high quality, superior engineering and exceptional customer service.

Hey Guys,
I am looking to install HAP tomorrow and was wondering after the installation is done, how do you go about getting it on to the internet so that it is accessible by all?
Installation is going to be on a 2008 R2 server and I've never done anything like it before.
And if the 2008 R2 server is going to be on the internet how do you about making it secure as possible?

One big idea animates virtually all of today's earnest education reformers is the conviction that great schools can spur social mobility. And then Charles Murray comes along and throws cold water all over the idea.

Walgreen Co. Reports Fiscal 2013 Third Quarter Results
Net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 ended May 31 determined in accordance with GAAP were $1.79 billion, an increase of 1.1 percent compared with $1.77 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Net earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 decreased 7.4 percent to $1.88, compared with $2.03 per diluted share in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
Adjusted net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 ended May 31 were $2.28 billion, an increase of 13.2 percent compared with adjusted net earnings of $2.01 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 increased 3.5 percent to $2.39, compared with $2.31 per diluted share in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. This year's adjusted nine-month results exclude the negative impacts of 19 cents per diluted share in acquisition related amortization, 16 cents per diluted share from the LIFO provision, 9 cents per diluted share in Alliance Boots related tax, 5 cents per diluted share in other acquisition related costs, 5 cents per diluted share related to a legal settlement with the DEA and 3 cents per diluted share in costs related to Hurricane Sandy.

Alliance Boots contributed 10 cents per diluted share to Walgreens third quarter adjusted results, including a negative impact of 2 cents per diluted share due to reconciliation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with GAAP.

I just jumped onto the WDS band wagon, but haven't messed with Win7 deployment using it yet; I've been far too busy shoving an XP image down its throat. I did however experiment deploying it with Ghost 11.0, and got a fair amount of success out of it.
If you want it to ask for a name, then forget about auto domain joining. What is happening right now is it is joining the domain, then asking for a name. When the name changes, it only changes on the local machine, thus breaking the domain trust. There is no way to change its order of doing this.
What I did is disabled the auto join, have it ask for a name, auto login, and then run a VB script to join the domain.
Here is that script....

ok straight to the point.
(ive read the rules by the way)
well almost to the point
alexandrian shipping: volknerXjasmine
what do you thing about it?
stupid cute etc?
opinions please!
I like the shipping. Denzi and Mikan suit each other very well. Too bad that there's not a whole lot about them together.
Very adorable. I love Volkner ships.
I LOVE this pairing !!! I'm glad I'm not the only one
I'm a James fan! I love shipping and the Pokemon anime
It's a rather pleasant shipping- pity that we don't see them meet in-game at all.
"Calculated tactics, mental strength, accurate judgement, and being blessed with gorgeous looks! The person who has all of these is...!"
Too Bad Volker & Jasmain didn't get to meet at all
Does anybody have a realistic (well for pokemon) fanfic of when they meet?
I'm a James fan! I love shipping and the Pokemon anime
can i join, i support this pairng
I'm a James fan! I love shipping and the Pokemon anime
So what do you think of the thought of Jasmine and Volkner? I just finished watching the episodes with Jasmine in her and I think she's awesome!
What's your opinion?
I'm a James fan! I love shipping and the Pokemon anime
i like this coupling
I think the pairing originated in the Diamond/Pearl games (not sure about Platnium, since I don't own it), since Jasmine appeared in Sunyshore and gives the player character the Waterfall HM.
But hey, I think this is a cute pairing.
Platinum Friend Code: 4428-0341-9435

Black 2 Friend Code: 5244-0942-6506
I always root for the ships that don't get a lot of love.
I haven't read many fanfics for it, but I have seen quite a bit of fanart. It's adorable. x3 This and Ignitionshipping are my favorite ships for Volkner.

The Great Cycling Debate with Sean Shaw
Sean and I joined David Kirton on the Saskatoon Afternoon Show yesterday to discuss cycling safety in two different segments.
It was a good discussion but the big thing is that Saskatoon is a brutal city to be a cyclist in.
Joseph Abboud Brown Elastic Front Pocket Wallet
For years I have used a leather wallet with a zipper around it. To be honest I hate dropping my wallet and cards going everywhere. This wallet works fine for it and lasts about five years before it needs replacing. Lately Jeff and Sean have been going on and on about their Umbra Bungee Wallets which look cool but I have never liked carrying. They have been going on and on about how slim they are which is something that is kind of important. No one wants to have George Costanza wallet.
Last week I lost my wallet. I am 99% sure it is in our house but I fear that it was tossed out by Oliver or Mark while cleaning. I was going to swallow my pride and get one of those Umbra wallets but that would mean that I value Jeff and Sean's opinions on accessorizing. The next you know I'll be taking council's advice on how many bridge lanes the city needs. It's a slippery slope. I was seriously thinking of getting a Bellroy Wallet but $60 for a wallet is more than I wanted to pay.
Instead I looked around and found a Joseph Abboud Front Pocket Wallet which as you can see, is extremely thin and compact and minimizes the bulk of most wallets. I bought it for $8. In case you are thinking that I have lost it and have gone off the deep end, Walmart has a large selection of front pocket wallets, which I don't know if that helps my point or destroys it.
Of course it is extremely thin now as all I have in it is my temporary drivers licence and my BMO Debit Card. I hate losing wallets.
In case you want to slim down your wallet, Bellroy has some excellent tips but I also discovered Stocard which really what Apple's Passport should have been. It scans and keeps track of all of my reward cards in one place. Here is the screenshot of what it holds (and you now know what reward programs that I belong to)
Once you enter in your member number (or let it scan in your card's barcode) all I have to do is fire up the app and let the store scanner scan the barcode (or if that doesn't work, touch the screen and your member number comes up right away). Like most of you, I always have my phone on me so there is no point in carrying it and a wallet full of reward cards). It's free and you can get the app for iOS and Android. I can't recommend it enough. That and it's not an Umbra cardholder so we all win.
New & Noteworthy
As noticed by Chris Enns, OurYXE's podcast appeared in iTunes' New & Noteworthy category last week. You can listen to our podcast online, subscribe via RSS, or listen in with iTunes. There are also two new episodes that went online this weekend. Episode 8 with Pat Lorje and Episode 9 which features Sean and I talking about an independent election commission and Saskatoon's inability to understand how things like snow removal is an essential service that needs to be provided.
Janice Braden on the OurYXE podcast
Janice Braden joined us for the OurYXE podcast this week where we talked for a little over an hour about the Municipal Planning Commission, architecture, affordable housing, and city building. It was a great discussion and I learned a lot from Janice. Next weekend we are looking at chatting with Shaun Dyer, the executive director of the John Howard Society. We will be talking about corrections, crime, and our community.
Interviewing Zach Jeffries
The OurYXE podcast sat down and interviewed Councillor Zach Jeffries (you may know him from such roles as Campaigning for Ward 10). We had a good discussion about suburban sprawl, the North Commuter Bridge, and his lucky campaign shirt. It's worth a listen.
Of course if you can't get enough of Saskatoon politics and policy, you can subscribe to the OurYXE podcast via RSS, iTunes, or just stop by every Monday and see who else we have tormented (next week it is Councillor Charlie Clark).
In case you get tired of reading my stuff
For those of you who are tired of reading what I have written; I have put together a new medium to grow tired of; a podcast. Sean Shaw, DeeAnn Mercier and myself (along with some soon to be announced contributors) are going to talking city politics, urban planning, and other issues that affect us as a city at ouryxe.ca. We have some great guests lined up and at times it can get rather testy but a great city needs a place to debate things and talk about new ideas. This just happens to be one of them. The RSS feed is live and we hope to hear back from iTunes in a couple of days and I can post that link. The first episode can be found online here. Expect to hear our episode with Councillor Zach Jeffries to go live as soon as our iTunes page goes live.
Saskatoon's Bridge from Nowhere
Sean Shaw has a great post on the proposed North Commuter Bridge and the process that surrounded it.
An internet search pinpoints an announcement on March 15th by the City Administration regarding the Integrated Growth Plan – the blue print that will guide Saskatoon's growth for the next couple of decades – and the transportation plans included within that plan (Proposed Plan, March 2012 here). An article in the Star Phoenix the following day suggests that a North bridge has been on the planning books for Saskatoon since 1999. However, as recent as 2007, official City planning documents indicate only one proposed North Bridge, the provincially driven "North Perimeter" Bridge and Highway, which was originally proposed in 2000, with no mention of a second North Bridge (2007 University Heights Sector Plan – here – compare the map on page 2 to the Commuter Bridge Map). Moreover, the Sector Plan for University Heights has not been officially changed by City Council to include the proposed "North Commuter" Bridge or it's connecting roadways, including the proposed arterial road that will now bi-sect the ecologically sensitive Northeast Swale (according to the Sector Plan no arterial roadways are supposed to cross the swale).
The lack of any historical documentation suggests that the "North Commuter" Bridge appeared out of thin-air early last year.
While researching this file last month, I made a request to City Administration to provide any public documents that outlined the feasibility of the proposed "North Commuter" Bridge – specifically traffic impact studies, like the one conducted for the Traffic Bridge, that demonstrated the requirement for the Bridge. I was told that no such study existed. Infact, the study (Transportation Functional Planning Study) that will determine the feasibility of different river crossings and how they will impact future traffic won't be completed until later this month.
Furthermore, its commonly held in the local engineering community that the "North Perimeter" Bridge and Highway would be a better use of public dollars, in terms of addressing traffic movement for the City as a whole (funny enough, the same was said about the South Circle Bridge, namely that the North Perimeter Bridge should have been built first).
The entire post is worth reading until you realize that Saskatoon City Council has gone ahead and spent $100 million on a bridge that is going to be about 1/2 mile from another new bridge without understanding the impact of that bridge. If anything they are doing their best to make city council spending in Regina and Markham sound reasonable.
The weekend that was: The lowlight of the weekend was that I was fiddling with a power adaptor with my right hand and jerked my hand away violently when I got shocked. Of course my right shoulder is the shoulder with the torn rotator cuff. I have had both shoulders operated on, I have wrecked both MCL and ACLs, I have even had nails go into my feet. Nothing was as painful as that pain was. I just screamed in pain for a minute while walking over and sitting down before I passed out.
I was hoping the pain would pass but now every time I use my right hand, there is incredible pain in the shoulder which can't be a good thing. Back to my family doctor on Tuesday to see what we can do now.
On Sunday I watched the Lions lose to the Green Bay Packers at Jeff's place with Sean. Doing that brought up a lot of Detroit Lions memories and none of them are good. Wayne Fontes, Scott Mitchell, Matt Millen, 0-16… at least the food was good.
On my to-do list this week: Other than seeing a doctor…
Procrastinating about: Going to see my doctor…
Book I'm in the midst of: The Triumph of the City by Edward Glaesar
Music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: The new Sheepdogs album.
How I'm feeling about this week: Pain.
Reality Check
Sean Shaw has started an ongoing series of blog posts called Reality Check. Read the intro and make sure you read the post on our infrastructure deficit. It's sobering reading.
Election Night Roundup
Last night Wendy and I had Sean Shaw, Jeff Jackson, Pat Lorje, and DeeAnn Mercier over to watch the results come in. The wifi was reinforced, I bugged DeeAnn about her new job, the NDP jokes were sharpened, and I prepared a story about Joe Clark in case Jeff and I needed to reminisce.
Wendy made a bunch of food, Sean brought over a bunch of food, and others brought over stuff as well. We ate well. Other than Obama's personal victory, the win of the night was that Sean was able to get a box of candy for next to nothing. It's rumoured that when Karl Rove had his meltdown it wasn't over Ohio but rather over what Sean paid for his candy.
All I know is that between Wendy and Sean there was more food here than at either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama's parties.
It was a weird night of television. We alternated between arguing U.S. politics and then would go argue a couple of city reports. It got confusing. In the end I think we all agreed that Barack Obama has not been strong as he should be on our north commuter bridge and I think Sean Shaw is thinking of running for a U.S. Senate seat. It was all a blur.
Some things broke out on Twitter. I was assailed for not inviting more of you. Next time we have an election night, I will invite more people. While we were all really happy with the election results, I was haunted all night by a comment by Coun. Lorje who reminded me that Mark is closer to growing up than I like to admit. I worked on my first election when I was age and he already has a couple under his belt. He reads the Economist. Girls are starting to call for him. Pat's comment made me realize that I was soon to be a parent of a teenager. I don't think I am prepared well for it. Mitt Romney lost the election, I entered into a mid-life crisis. Maybe I can ask Mitt Romney for advice. He has time on his hands.
Update: Take a look at President Elect Romney's transition website. Awkward.
Speaking of awkward, here is Ezra Levant giving his prediction that Mitt Romney will win big last night. Awesome.
2012 Municipal Election Roundup
So after spending last night at City Hall waiting for the election results to be made public, here are my thoughts.
- It was fun doing a quick segment with David Kirton and CKOM on the election. I have always been a fan of Kirton and my only regret was not seeing more traction on food trucks (Twitter joke).
- I was shocked to see Troy Davies win in Ward 4. I had picked Sean Shaw and all of the metrics that myself and others have used to determine campaign victories showed Shaw winning. Apparently I need new metrics. Either that or I need to start putting polls in the field. Congrats to Troy Davies for winning and earning the right to be Ward 4 councillor. Sean is a good friend and I am sure he will be back politically but it's hard to see friends lose races.
- I was also surprised to see Ann Iwanchuk win as after 10/11 polls reporting, Mike San Miguel had a sizeable lead but as the old saying goes, "it's not over until it's over" and all of a sudden I was looking at a result that I couldn't believe and that is that Iwanchuk won by 28 votes. When I talked to her and Andy last night, they kind of had the same reaction. Congrats to her on a well run race.
- If I am Mike San Miguel, I have to questioning my decision to go negative late in the race with a pamphlet that attacked Iwanchuk and an attacking robo-call that attacked her NDP background. If anything it probably motivated people to turn out for Iwanchuk. It was a great campaign to watch that came down to under 100 votes.
- Zach Jeffries not only becomes the youngest member on council ever but knocked off three term incumbent Bev Dubois.
- So Tom Wolf came within a hair of defeating a long term incumbent after getting in the race in September. Impressive campaign by Wolf and they had by far the best campaign t-shirts.
- Pat Lorje won again in Ward 2 which is what I predicted.
- Since this will be long forgotten by 2016, I am planning to do a series of push polls, probably just to candidate homes that go something like, "Would you prefer crazed socialist (or robber baron) [insert councillor's name here] or well respected columnist Jordon Cooper to represent your riding?" just to feed on their paranoia. I have no intention of running but it would be fun to do.
- I had a fun conversation with Andy Iwanchuk which is the first time we have ever met. When you think of it, the Iwanchuk family has been in campaign mode for a long time with Ann's election a year ago, Andy's provincial campaign and now her re-election campaign which makes for a hectic year. No truth to the rumour that both of them are getting away for a vacation by working on someone else's campaign.
- After following the council pretty closely, I found the entire election disillusioning. Part of it is the sausage philosophy where you don't really want to know how it is made. At the last of the last term, it was a very politically divided council. That division came across during some of the FOI requests that dropped and also it showed that more than one councillor/candidate had lied to me about some issue or another. Hopefully with some new councillors on council those bridges can be rebuilt but I am not hopeful that the partisanship will change.
- I want to thank each of you last night that aggressively shook my hand. If you noticed tears in my eyes, it wasn't because I moved talking to you or about your victory, it is because I HAVE A TORN ROTATOR CUFF and it really HURT ME every time we shook hands. I was ready to be put down by about 8:45 p.m. It hurt that much.
- The election day someone put up an anonymous Twitter account bashing Darren Hill to the media and anyone who would listen. Sadly it was done by someone that knows Wendy and I and lives in Mayfair. I have a pretty good idea of who it was but it's still sad. To be honest, if I was going to attack Hill I would stand behind them. An anonymous account doesn't do anything other than provide something to laugh at.
- Got to hang out with Alex MacPherson and Liam Richards for the first time last night. I always enjoy MacPherson's writing in Verb and I have long been a fan of Richard's photography (which always envying his gear).
- So this will be it until the next federal and provincial election when some councillors decide to run. If they win, we get by-elections and the process starts all over again.
Saskatoon Civic Election Roundup : October 1st Edition
This week's roundup was more of a road trip with an extensive drive that took me through Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 & 10. Other than learning that we need to spend more money on roads in this city, I did get to see a bit of the ground game as it is playing out across the city.
Ward 1: While Robin Bellamy has some sign strength in some parts of the city, Darren Hill is still out in front, especially on east side of the river/ward. It's a bit hard to judge as a lot of Darren Hill signs have been knocked over. I saw ten down Saturday while driving around the east side. I was able to observe both candidates in the same room this week as they were at the Mayfair/Kelsey Woodlawn/Hudson Bay Park Community Association AGM in the warm up shack of Henry Kelsey rink. Seriously, we met in a hockey change room that still smelled like my hockey bag. That's the glamorous world of civic politics; awkward meetings in rooms that smells bad. If I ever think of running for public office, someone show me this post while sitting me down beside a hockey bag.
Ward 2: Owen Fortosky's campaign website has launched while I am seeing a lot of Pat Lorje lawn signs going up all over Ward 2. Of course the secret of Ward 2 is not who has the best campaign but who can get the people out to vote. Doreen Day Wapass ran a spirited campaign against Lorje last election but very little of her support came out to vote (or the alternative narrative is that she had very little support)
Ward 3: I spent a lot of time driving around Ward 3 Saturday and I have never seen a sign campaign like it. There would be all sorts of Ann Iwanchuk campaign signs and then a bunch of Mike San Miguel signs in clusters. Then a while further there will be all of these Iwanchuk campaign signs before another cluster of San Miguel signs. I returned on Sunday and Wendy and I actually took some notes on signs. After looking at all of it, Iwanchuk is ahead. When you toss in the fact that she is an incumbent, I will put her out in front.
Ward 4: Troy Davies is putting up a lot of lawn signs along 33rd but throughout the ward the sign war is being won by Sean Shaw. A drive through a lot of Ward 4 Saturday showed that Shaw was holding a big lead in signs.
Ward 5: The big shift in the ward is that while city property seem to be supporting James Ford while actual households are still voting for Randy Donauer. Ward 5 is always going to be a difficult place for a left wing candidate to win as there is no really provincial or federal NDP presence in the ward which means that each campaign will be starting from scratch.
Ward 6: I spent a lot of time in Ward 6 Saturday as ESPN Radio was quite compelling and I was killing time while waiting for Mark to finish football practice. I managed to hit every neighbourhood in the ward. Charlie Clark is handily winning the sign war in Ward 6 which has to be horrible news for Brandon Snowsell. While I drove through on Saturday, Wendy and I were driving through the ward on Sunday and the Clark campaign had even more signs up. Having talked to a lot of campaigns about this over the last couple of years, one of the reasons you announce early and start door knocking is to get sign locations. People are not engaged in the political process in April and if you are going to be out there, you want to find people that will endorse you later. When it gets to that magical start date, you a) toss up enough signs to show your strength and put up some later to look like you are building momentum or you b) toss them all us and basically try to take your opponent out of the race early. A good example of this was the Eric Olauson campaign in 8 who gained enough sign locations (which are really endorsements) to establish himself as the front runner from the start of the campaign in Ward 8. After all the door knocking, the robocalls, and giant billboard and you still find yourself losing the sign war; it's very hard to see a path of victory moving forward for the Snowsell campaign. As I took Wendy though the ward on Sunday, the Clark campaign had even more signs up which says not only is Clark ahead but he is the one with the momentum. No sign(s) of the other two candidates that jumped in to the race.
Ward 6 is also an interesting campaign where you have Snowsell running on a platform while Clark is running on his approach to civic politics which is actually a lot more important when you think about the thousands of votes over four years a city councillor will make. I have no idea what challenges city council will be facing three years from now and in the end you are voting for the person you best think can handle that.
Finally, thinking politics while listening to ESPN Radio talking about college football is harder than you think. At one point today I had Randy Donauer doing well in the Heisman Race while Tim Tebow was not doing well in Ward 4. Best of luck to both Ward 6 candidates as they play Michigan and Alabama on the road next week.
Ward 7: Mairin Loewen has been hard at work and is beating Mike Bzowey in sign locations. I keep hearing two things. One that Loewen's ground game is paying off for her and she is ahead but I also hear that because of Bzowey's spending and the wildcard that is Stonegate that is much closer. I think it is close but I Loewen works hard on constituency issues and is a thoughtful city councillor and effective campaigner. I still have Loewen ahead in a close campaign.
One odd part of the campaign is that after driving through most of Stonegate I never noticed a single lawn sign. I assume it's because of all of the construction and not because the neighbourhood has shunned all three candidates in the ward but still, it is kind of weird as the neighbourhood has made it's feelings known before (they don't like group homes for single mothers and their infants). I don't think it means anything either way other than it is just weird.
Ward 8: Some of Ainsley Robertson's supporters are saying to me that Sharon Wingate will draw enough support from Eric Olauson on the right for them to win up the middle. I agree it does happen as you saw that happen with several of Ralph Goodale's elections but that only seems to make sense if there is a three way race and you still have to be stronger than the other two. Three strong campaign's lowers the number of votes to win but you still have to get to that number. I still have Olauson out in front although Robertson does seem to be gaining in some sign locations and I think she is in second place.
Ward 9: Tiffany Paulsen has published her campaign platform and it has an interesting plank of free outdoor fitness classes for everyone in the city. She hasn't released how this would be paid for or how much it would cost but I like it and one of the reasons why we have these elections is to get new ideas.
Ward 10: This is the only campaign that has it's own iPhone app and a paperless candidate in Mark Horseman. Zach Jeffries is using a more traditional campaign to knock off incumbent Bev Dubois. Dubois is going big with billboards, bus bench ads, radio ads and today, a pancake breakfast. Three different approaches to a tough race. While this is Bev Dubois's sixth campaign (she lost previously to Don Atchison and then Tiffany Paulsen before winning the next three), both Mark Horseman and Zach Jeffries have experience running campaigns in the riding. Horseman ran in the last election while Jeffries was part of the campaign team trying to beat Dubois back in 2003. While my survey of Ward 10 wasn't as extensive as my trips through Ward 3 and Ward 6, it is worth noting that Dubois seems to be losing the sign war to Jeffries and maybe even Horseman. May she should have released an Android or Blackberry app?
Mayoral Campaign: Tom Wolf criticized Don Atchison for essentially being the incumbent mayor during the campaign and like most of council, the Mayor had some problems with the language around the Code of Conduct. I agree with the Mayor, err, Don Atchison on this one and probably think it was a campaign mistake. Wolf came out with his second phase of his campaign platform which focused on communities. The other major news during the mayoral campaign is the excellent political campaign that the Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan has run with several announcements during the campaign which has blunted some of the criticism that some candidates have made about the spending. Both candidates have some lawn signs up around the city but I have Atchison out in front.
The interesting part of the mayoral campaign will be the mayor's debate which is going to be televised for what I think will be the first time.
Useless Fact of the Week: Candidates are very, very passionate about lawn sign stakes. Some use one stake, some use two and there is a divide between those that use 2×2 stakes (Hill and Jeffries among others) and those that use 1×2 stakes. I also found out that NDP leadership candidate Cam Broten has a "stake guy" who makes stakes out of recycled wood. It also sounds out that on several campaigns, the election allows them to clean out sheds because the stakes are all being used. So by taking a lawn sign not only are you making your voice heard, you are helping out someone's domestic situation. That and if your fence goes missing during a provincial campaign, it could be Broten.
Number of the week: 288. As in 288 followers that Tom Wolf has on Twitter. Tom is doing a good job with social media but with only 288 followers, his campaign is not catching on as it needs to if he wants to beat Don Atchison (who has 810)
Statistically Insignificant Argument of the Week: I have heard from a couple of campaigns that "my opponent got the sign but I got the vote". I know that does happen but it's a statistically insignificant amount. It goes both ways and lawn sign strength is a pretty good sign of voter intentions. The exceptions are rental housing where a landlord may authorize the lawn signs but of course the residents have their own idea on how they will vote.
YXE Votes Roundup
I thought I would post some weekly thoughts on all of the civic elections which is guaranteed to upset all campaigns. If I say they are winning, they complain I am setting the execrations to high, if I say they are losing, I am being unfair. In the end I am not sure I care because if they win, they will eventually upset at something I write so here goes.
Ward 1 : The Ward 1 race is heating up with more and more Robin Bellamy signs appearing on both sides of the river. Whatever he is doing to talk to voters, it is working. I still have Darren Hill ahead but the lead seems to be shrinking up against a well oiled Bellamy campaign.
Ward 2 : Challenger Owen Fortosky doesn't have a campaign website up yet which tells me that he isn't campaigning that hard. Pat Lorje seems to be caught off guard but she has been everywhere in Ward 2 and has one of the highest profiles on council. She also was an avid advocate for Montgomery's interests last year and since they (and Caswell) are going to be the high turnout neighbourhoods, I have her winning handily. While Fortosky was the previous councillor before Lorje and that makes this race somewhat more interesting, Rick Steernberg was the old Ward 3 councillor before Maurice Nealt won the seat in 2003. When he decided to run in 2011 the previous name recognition didn't help him and he finished fourth behind Ann Iwanchuk, Mike San Miguel, and Derek Rope. It will be interesting to see if Fortosky's name recognition produces a different result this time.
Ward 3 : A close race with Ann Iwanchuk trying to hold off Mike San Miguel's campaign. Mike San Miguel has not only built an impressive campaign team and name for himself but he has done it two short years. Impressive whether he wins or loses. I have this race within 500 votes. It is also the campaign that has a bit of an edge to it with Mike San Miguel's website saying on the front page, "Elect a candidate that lives in your ward!" which is a shot at Iwanchuk that lives right next door in Ward 4.
Ward 4 : If lawn signs are any indication, Sean Shaw is winning this race handily. The only time I have seen a more dominant sign campaign was in 1983 in Calgary during Lougheed's last campaign. Troy Davies is trying to compensate with one really big mobile billboard that he is driving through the ward, a strategy I am not sure is going to work.
Ward 5 : If Randy Donauer doesn't win with 80% of the vote, I will be really, really surprised. Donauer is well liked in Ward 5 by supporters, independents, and even some ideological opponents. When you are doing well with your opponents, things are going pretty well. If I was going to run against Donauer, I would run on a campaign of hiring him back to run the city website as he has by far the best city councillor/ward website on council. It's more useful than the city website.
Ward 6 : I wonder if Charlie Clark took Brandon Snowsell's campaign too lightly. Snowsell's campaign has been on the ground since March and has been rumoured to have raised a pile of cash. They say the only way to beat a popular incumbent is to outwork them and Snowsell has done that. If you can outwork and outspent, you are onto something. My only thought is the robocalls may hurt Snowsell in that ward which would be kind of ironic.
Ward 7 : Word on the street is that Mike Bzowey is delivering pizza to people. I'll be honest, if given enough pizza, I'll vote for anyone. That being said, I don't think there is enough pizza to be delivered to overcome Mairin Loewen's campaign which has been at it for several months now. Like I just said, you have to outwork an incumbent and I am not sure Bzowey is doing that.
Ward 8 : While Sharon Wingate is running hard, Eric Olauson has been door knocking since early spring and looks to have built up a sizeable lead. I have Olauson winning a four way race with around 50% of the vote right now. While Ainsley Robertson declared early, she looks to being out campaigned and door knocked by Olauson. Of course what makes this race so interesting is that Wingate is going after Olauson's vote which means that you could see a vote split as the race goes on. With four motivated candidates, it has the potential to be the most interesting race in the city.
Ward 9 : As I told a friend who had been approached to run in Ward 9, "it's not a ward, it's an urban utopia where there are no issues". Not only that but it won't be fun for to be destroyed by an articulate Tiffany Paulsen in the council forums and probably outspent. Good luck to Dennis Nowoselsky who is about to electoral road kill in Ward 9.
Ward 10 : Both Mark Horseman and Zach Jeffries are running hard in Ward 10 but Bev Dubois has won with some massive pluralities in the past. According to all three campaigns, they have a total of 164% of the vote and things are going great.
The Mayor's Race:
I have been pretty uninspired so far. You have two candidates who are talking about issues that they are not strong in and both sounding awkward while doing it. That being said I keep hearing that there is a lot of frustration with the mayor inside Circle Drive, a voting block that Lenore Swystun won last time and got a total of 38% of the vote with spending very little money. If Tom Wolf can spent close to what the Don Atchison is expected to spend, then we have a race but I think Wolf started too late.
So here is my survey of the Saskatoon electoral map.
- Ward 1: In play with Hill ahead
- Ward 2: Lorje
- Ward 3: In play and too close to call
- Ward 4: Shaw who may also win Ward 3 and Ward 2 if his signs are any indication.
- Ward 5: Donauer
- Ward 6: In play but Clark leading
- Ward 7: Loewen
- Ward 8: Olauson
- Ward 9: Paulsen
- Ward 10: In play but with Dubois out ahead
I'll post something each Monday leading up to election day.
Sean Shaw Campaign Videos
Since I have been posting campaign videos a lot lately, I thought that I would continue the trend with posting Sean Shaw's campaign videos.
Not that anyone cares about this other than myself but Sean is the only Saskatoon City Council candidate to use Vimeo rather than YouTube. From the look of the credits, they were done by Flavio Ishii, a local Saskatoon filmmaker. Of all of the films that I have seen so far, the four most recent ones by Shaw (and Ishii) have had the best production quality.
I took a look around the other night and I think I have posted most of the campaign videos now. Let me know if I have missed any and I will get them online.

Protesters blocked the Verdun-Tallet al-Khayyat road with burning tires after the man's arrest. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: The security forces detained Monday night a man driving a motorcycle after 7 p.m., the first step in enforcing a recent ban on motorcycles at some specific times.
The man was arrested in the Beirut neighborhood of Verdun, prompting angry citizens to block the Verdun-Tallet al-Khayyat road with burning tires in protest.
The protesters also tried to free the detainee and his motorcycle, briefly clashing with the security forces. Police then opened fire in the air to disperse them and were able to reopen the road later.
The Central Security Council decided last week to ban motorcycles from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. in the Greater Beirut area, part of measures to boost security at night in the capital.
The council said the ban was aimed at curbing the rise of crimes carried out on motorcycles and would be followed by other measures that would take into consideration company motorcycles.

I began to see Dr. Duncan when i became pregnant. I wa nervous at first about seeing a new obgyn but within minutes of being at his clinic i was relieved. His staff is wonderful and he is patient and kind. He was informative through my miscarriage and performed my d and c with so much care that there was hardly any recovery pain. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone.
I would highly recommend Dr. Duncan! Even though he's an ob/gyn, he always addresses your entire health. If it wasn't for him, I would have never been diagnosed with cancer early and had it treated. The nurses and staff are wonderful too. Its so nice to have staff that are willing to answer questions.I can't stress enough how comfortable they make you at this office.

Money Magazine Puts a Ring on Sharon
The publication's latest annual ranking of America's top 50 small towns is out. Topping the 2013 list is Sharon, MA. Population: 17,944; median home price: $375,000.
It's a three-and-a-half-hour road commute to NYC from Sharon, making the top small place a little impractical for Manhattan day jobbers. However, for those toiling in Boston and Providence, it's a perfect hop, skip and real-estate-inventory jump.

I originally bought this ring as a wedding band to match my black diamond engagement ring, but It ended up being too thin and delicate to look right with my engagement ring- but it looks great alone as a right hand ring. its very sparkly- but if you look close the black stones are uneven and a few look chipped. I wouldnt wear this ring on a daily basis b/c i'd be afraid of stones falling out/breaking. Also i'm not sure what it is, but looks like black paint (?) overlaps in some tiny spots on to the silver of the band.
Great ring at a great price! Liked this ring so much I bought another...so far it has held up really well...
i was excited to order this ring... was so dissapointed when it came in. the black czs were very shiny and looked great.. the problem with the ring was that the outer ring that is suspose to be silver was chipped! so it just made the ring look cheap. parts were black that shouldve been silver... ended up returning it and I'm still waiting to be refunded.
During the christmas season there were some robberies in the area so i didnt want to wear my wedding ring. I asked my husband to purchase this band for me and i love it! The czs look exactly like my real black diamonds and they are super sparkly! This is a great quality smaller ring that packs a punch! I would recommend this ring to anyone. The holidays have passed and i am still wearing this in place of my actual wedding ring. :)

Friday - Abs, Cardio
Saturday - Cardio
I do all of my workouts in the morning before work (6am-8am) I eat 5 egg whites 1 hour before workout and take a protein shake post workout. I eat healthy 5-6 meals/day.
I want to change my routine to try to see some more fat loss results. I am thinking of doing cardio immediately after I wake up (before meal) for 30-45 minutes then eat breakfast after cardio. Then in the afternoon after work I will be doing weight training. This is what I am thinking of changing my routine to:
Morning - Running (30-45 min)
Afternoon - Chest, Triceps, Abs
Morning: Running (30-45 min)
Afternoon: Shoulders, Legs, Abs
Morning: Running (30-45 min)
Afternoon: Rest
Morning: Running (30-45 min)
Afternoon: Back, Biceps, Abs
Morning:Running (30-45 min)
Afternoon: Rest
Day off
Any tips that you guys have would really help. I feel that I am lacking in the cardio department, because my diet is good and I have been seeing some muscle gain, however no fat loss.

If characters in Hollywood movies reflected the makeup of the American workforce, our nation would have considerably more serial killers than attorneys, doctors and teachers. Maybe thats why all the Jasons and Freddies and Michaels whove slashed their way through horror films of the last 35 years dont horrify me.
To frighten me, a movie has to offer a villain whos unique, believable, has comprehensible motives mindless slayers dont count, except for the shark in Jaws and someone or something that can potentially be defeated, avoided or escaped.
They dont have to be gross or gory; those traits put me off. While I enjoy laughing during a horror film (The Cabin in the Woods made my top 10 list last year), I dont end up feeling terrified.
So heres my alphabetical list of 12 movies that made me shrink back into my seat (and sometimes leap out of it) with an anxiety I couldnt shake.
The Blair Witch Project Still the best of the found footage outings for me. The unfathomable ending to this videotaped, deadly walk in the woods by scoffing researchers initially put me off, but now I like the ambiguity.
The Descent Everyone has a physical place that frightens him more than others; for me, spots below ground induce special discomfort. So this story of cave explorers stumbling upon subterranean subhumans freaks me out.
The Exorcist Oft-parodied since its appearance 40 years ago, but powerful nonetheless. Its hard now to recall the effect this story of Satanic possession had on Americans; watching it at 19, I felt the theater grow cold around me.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers I speak of the 1956 original, though the 1978 remake has a lot to recommend it (and a different ending). This attack on totalitarianism has a simple premise: You fall asleep, you lose the soul that makes you human.
Jaws The best movie about a killer animal ever made. My parents saw it first, described every scene in detail when they got home, and I still got shock after shock when I went to see it myself. The excellent acting helps; few horror films have that.
M The greatest serial killer film of all time, directed by Fritz Lang. Peter Lorre plays a quiet chap who murders children, though his compulsion disgusts and horrifies him. When the cops clamp down on criminal activity to find him, underworld gangs hunt him down themselves.
The Manchurian Candidate The 1962 original, about a much-decorated serviceman brainwashed by Communists to shoot a presidential candidate so their dupe can take office. Angela Lansbury gives a mega-creepy performance as the shooters devoted mom.
Metropolis My favorite science-fiction/horror movie of the silent era, also directed by Lang. In a city where underground workers toil to support the happy lives of rich people living above them, a humanitarian and a robot version of herself sow harmony and discord, respectively.
Poltergeist Ghosts haunt a young family, seemingly in a friendly (or at least neutral) way at first and then by kidnapping the younger daughter. Without relying on many special effects or shocks, the movie establishes an unforgettably spooky atmosphere.
Psycho Alfred Hitchcocks portrait of a mother-obsessed hotel clerk driven mad by sexual attraction has inspired countless uninspired movies. What begins as a robbery caper turns darker and more bizarre, scene by scene.
The Shining Stanley Kubricks last great film grows more creepy and clever each time I sample it. Jack Nicholson stars as an unhappy husband who goes mad as the caretaker of a remote hotel. Watch the entertainingly daft documentary Room 237 to see conspiracy theorists takes on the picture.
The Silence of the Lambs Hannibal Lecter, the most memorable cannibal in film history, squares off against a resourceful FBI agent nearly as smart and strong-willed as he. Inferior sequels and prequels dont diminish the luster of this masterpiece.

Excellent salad! I cut the ingredients in half to make two servings and there was plenty of dressing with even a little left over. Everything worked so well together. ...
I had only had this in San Francisco and other Bay Area restaurants, and decided to try it out here in North Carolina. Wow, it took me back to Pier 39! I used dill relish in my dressing, and didn't use any asparagus in the salad, but added some Artichoke Hearts I had on hand. The hard boild eggs in the dressing was genius. Love the black olives in it, and added some capers as well. I can't wait to have it again for lunch today!...
This salad is so good, but especially the dressing with the added hard-boiled eggs - a real taste pleaser....
I guess the idea of this recipe was to take a very simple dish, and give it a bit of a punch. I tried the olives and eggs- the flavors tasted good together- but honestly, it wasn't visually appealing, and it kind of made my stomach turn- I kept thinking that some black bugs were swimming in my thousand island dressing!...
Tried this recipe for a quick, light lunch and was very happy with how easy it was to prepare... Quick and tasty!...

How To Play Fingerstyle On Guitar
Learning how to play fingerstyle on guitar can be one of the most useful ways to expand your skills as a guitarist. Fingerstyle is any style of guitar playing that incorporates the use of fingers, whether with or without a pick. Fingerstyle playing can be found in musical genres as diverse as country, rock, folk, jazz and classical. Learning how to play fingerstyle guitar will take patience and practice, but mastering fingerstyle can help open doors to a new world of musical opportunities for you.
Start with easy first position chords. Find a chord book, which can be purchased or find online at no charge. Practice using your thumb, middle and index finger first. Pick the lowest note in the chord you're working on, then pick the two highest notes (highest first) with your middle finger and index finger.
Switch to another chord. Play the lowest note of that chord as you did in the first chord, then follow with the two highest notes (highest first) using your middle and index fingers. C major and G major are two good chords to start with.
- Change back to the C chord and strum all of the strings in the chords with your thumb. Make a downward sweep with your thumb, then pick each of the strings from highest to lowest using your ring, middle and index fingers, in that order.
- Practice playing this basic fingerstyle pattern several times using a variety of simple chords. As you become more accustomed to this simple style, vary the fingers you use and the order in which you play the notes. You have six strings on the guitar. Focus your thumb on the two lowest, your little finger on the highest string and your index and ring finger on the remaining strings. This will allow you to access the strings smoothly as you play the notes with your fingers.

Kejriwal will surely meet people's expectations, says his Professor
On a day Arvind Kejriwal was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Delhi, over a thousand kilometres away, his alma mater — the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-KGP) in Paschim Medinipore dis-trict of West Bengal — remembered him as a sober young man good at studies.
S.K. Som, professor at the Mechanical Engineering department, IIT-KGP, said Mr. Kejriwal was a student of B.Tech, Mechanical Engineering, from 1985 to 1989.
Asked whether he felt that Mr. Kejriwal would live up to the people's expectations, Prof. Som said: "Of course, he will. From what I have understood about his character, his determination… he will meet their expectations."
"As a student, he was very well behaved and sober," Prof. Som said, adding that Mr. Kejriwal's political ascendancy was a matter for pride not only for him but also for the entire IIT-KGP family.
Mr. Kejriwal's association with the institute did not end with graduation — it awarded him with the distinguished alumnus award in 2009, the professor said.
Recounting his last meeting with his student at the Pan-IIT Conference in the city in 2012, Prof. Som said that when Mr. Kejriwal learnt that he was present at the event, he came and met him. "He spoke about the times he spent at the institute as a student and his batchmates," he said.
According to the professor, Mr. Kejriwal's ascendancy in Indian politics will encourage other students, though he said one should not think that the situation would change overnight.
Students upbeat
Among the students of the institute, his feat has generated much enthusiasm.
Huddled in the Radhakrishnan Hall of the institute, about a dozen students remained glued to the television, watching him take oath at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.
"We are very happy today. Most of the students support Mr. Kejriwal primarily for his fight against corruption and because he is an alumnus," said Atal Ashutosh Sharma, a second year student of Mining Engineering.
Mr. Sharma was one of the few students who campaigned for the AAP in the Assembly elections in Delhi.
Encouraged by the party's achievement in the capital, volunteers of the AAP in the State said the party would undertake a membership drive in the city. "People from across the State have shown interest in joining the party. So we have decided to organise this drive," said AAP volunteer Mukul Keshari.

(Updates with comment from Boehner in third paragraph, limits on unemployment benefits in 13th paragraph.)
Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. House Republican leaders began selling members on a tentative agreement to extend a payroll tax cut through 2012 as they seek to avoid the brinkmanship that hurt the party late last year.
"There is an agreement in principle, there are a lot of details I hope will be" completed today, House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters in Washington this morning. He said he expects a vote on the plan this week.
Republicans met privately last night as House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan described what he told reporters was a "framework" for a deal. The plan would extend the two percentage point payroll tax break for workers through Dec. 31 without covering the $94 billion cost, said Representative Kevin Brady of Texas and other lawmakers who attended the meeting.
The plan also would continue expanded unemployment benefits while gradually reducing the maximum number of weeks people can collect payments and avert a 27 percent cut in doctors' Medicare reimbursements through the rest of this year, Brady and the other lawmakers said. Those would be paid for with reductions elsewhere in the budget.
A House-Senate conference committee appointed to resolve differences over the payroll plan has yet to approve the deal. Representative Steve LaTourette of Ohio said last night the plan received a "mixed reception" during the party's meeting. With two weeks until the tax break expires, several Republicans said they might have to back the deal.
'Not Great Policy'
"It's not great policy, but it's the best of a bad world," Representative Tom Price, a Georgia Republican, told reporters.
President Barack Obama yesterday urged Congress to act quickly on the tax cut and unemployment insurance. With the economic recovery still fragile, lawmakers "shouldn't hike taxes on working Americans," he said.
The deal will be tough to support for some Republicans who have repeatedly said that the entire payroll package, with a 10- year price tag of as much as $160 billion, must be financed with other spending reductions.
The payroll tax cut issue has dogged Republicans since December, when the party initially rejected an extension and was blamed for almost allowing the break to expire. Under political pressure, Boehner agreed to an extension through Feb. 29 to let negotiators work on a longer-term measure.
'Off the Table'
As those two months wind down, some Republicans said they want to move past the issue.
"The mood is to get it off the table," said Florida Republican Dennis Ross. Fellow freshman Representative Bobby Schilling of Illinois added, "We need to just make this thing go away."
Brady, a member of the negotiating committee, said Republicans may be more willing to support this deal because it begins reducing jobless benefits. People in states with the highest rates of unemployment can now claim benefits for up to 99 weeks.
The proposal would continue 99 weeks of benefits through May for those states, according to a document spelling out the plan, provided by a Democratic aide. Up to 79 weeks of jobless benefits would be provided through August and as many as 73 weeks through December, according to the document.
"Members are going to be encouraged by the unemployment reforms and the fact they're fully paid for," he said. "We achieved 90 percent of what we were seeking."
Some to Vote No
Still, Representative Steve Chabot, an Ohio Republican, predicted the measure will need the support of some House Democrats because "you will have a lot of folks that will vote no."
The plan will be paid for, in part, by allowing the sale of wireless spectrum and by using fees that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge to lenders, LaTourette said. Those elements haven't encountered much opposition among lawmakers.
Other proposals to cover the bill's cost might cause partisan tension. Second-ranking House Democrat Steny Hoyer said federal workers may bear a "disproportionate share" of the cost because of a provision that would require them to pay more toward their pensions. Government workers are a major constituency in Hoyer's Maryland district.
Tax Breaks
The deal wouldn't extend miscellaneous tax breaks that expired at the end of the year, as Democrats had sought, according to a party aide familiar with the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity. It also doesn't include a Republican- backed provision that would let companies write off the full cost of capital investments, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican.
To be adopted and sent to the House and Senate floors for a vote, the agreement will need the backing of a majority of each chamber among the 20 lawmakers on the negotiating committee. House Democrats on the panel, including Representatives Sander Levin of Michigan and Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania, said late yesterday they were reviewing the proposal.
Camp has worked with Senate Democrats, including Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana, on the plan for several days.
Cantor said his chamber will consider the payroll package "as quickly as possible."

Research suggests that the birth of a daughter causes men to adopt more progressive gender ideology and to increase support of women's rights. This post summarizes the evidence that fathering a daughter changes men's attitudes and considers the causes of this effect.
In the modern United States, parents—especially fathers—demonstrate a strong preference for sons (Dahl and Moretti 2008). Couples with sons are more likely to marry and are less likely to divorce if married; fathers spend more time with sons than with daughters (Dahl and Moretti 2008; Raley and Bianchi 2006). In addition, couples are more likely to have an additional child if their first-born child is female (Dahl and Moretti 2008). However, despite a clear preference for sons, few American parents control the gender of their child(ren) (e.g., through sex-selective abortion or assisted reproductive technologies). Therefore, the gender of any given child can be seen as exogenous to the couple and approximately half of children born in the United States are girls.
