Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Political junkies were picturing the scene before the gavel came down: Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Marco Rubio, sparring on an Iowa debate stage in December 2015, explaining their three-year-old votes on the deal designed to avert the fiscal cliff.
The top prospective Republican presidential candidates on Capitol Hill took opposite sides on the package that will stave off automatic tax increases -- Rubio said "no" in the Senate's 2 a.m. vote on New Year's Day, while Ryan said "yes" when the House voted nearly 20 hours later.
The plan approved Tuesday raises tax rates for individuals earning more than $400,000 and couples earning more than $450,000 -- marking the first time in two decades that rates jump for the wealthiest Americans. Raising rates has long been anathema to Republicans, though the timing of Tuesday's vote technically allows them to say they lowered tax rates, since rates automatically increased on January 1.
Whether voters understand that distinction remains to be seen. Top conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist, whose Americans for Tax Reform pushes candidates to sign a pledge never to raise taxes, said the plan wouldn't violate his group's beliefs.
"The Bush tax cuts lapsed at midnight last night," Norquist tweeted Tuesday. "Every (Republican) voting for Senate bill is cutting taxes and keeping his/her pledge."
Other conservative voices were less forgiving. Amy Kremer, the chairwoman of the Tea Party Express, wrote on Twitter she was "extremely disgusted with what happened in the House tonight."
"There will be consequences," she warned.
Matt Kibbe, the president of the conservative tea party-aligned group Freedomworks, said the bill that passed the House was an "epic fail," and offered a similar notice to congressional leaders.
"If Congressional leadership fails to do the bare minimum to secure our economic future, then we will find someone that will," Kibbe said.
Conservative columnist and CNN contributor Erick Erickson was to the point on Twitter: "Thus ends the Paul Ryan 2016 Presidential Exploratory Committee."
As he left the House floor Tuesday, Ryan hinted that he recognized the anger on the right.
"I am not afraid of anything," Ryan said. "I think it needed to pass."
In a statement later, he described his decision-making in more detail: "As elected officials, we have a duty to apply our principles to the realities of governing. And we must exercise prudence."
"Will the American people be better off if this law passes relative to the alternative?" Ryan continued. "In the final analysis, the answer is undoubtedly yes. I came to Congress to make tough decisions-not to run away from them."
Rubio took the opposite side, writing Tuesday that, "rapid economic growth and job creation will be made more difficult under the deal reached here in Washington."
"This deal just postpones the inevitable, the need to solve our growing debt crisis and help the 23 million Americans who can't find the work they need," he wrote.
Ryan's "aye" vote put the House Budget Committee chairman at odds with his fellow GOP "young guns" -- Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Whip Kevin McCarthy of California -- who both broke with House Speaker John Boehner to cast "no" votes on the deal.
The trio wrote a book together in 2010, just before Republicans took control of the House. The "young gun" designation followed Ryan throughout the 2012 presidential campaign, when his selection as Mitt Romney's running mate was hailed as a nod to a new brand of budget-conscious fiscal conservatism.
That label has been similarly foisted upon Marco Rubio, who campaigned against fellow Republican Charlie Crist in a 2010 Senate primary based largely on Crist's support for the 2009 stimulus bill. Since then, Rubio has spoken forcefully about the need to cut federal spending, including during his high-profile Republican National Convention speech last summer in Tampa.
The split between Ryan and Rubio -- and the overwhelming number of House Republicans who voted against the plan -- are signs of political maneuvering, said CNN contributor John Avlon.
"You can already see the fault lines. That clearly is a calculation about future ambitions," Avlon said on CNN's "Starting Point." "The ratio was two-to-one, almost two-to-one Republicans voted against this deal who voted for it. That means they believe this is a liability in a primary process."
Long, detailed voting records have long been a thorn in the side of senators and congressmen with presidential aspirations. In 2008, President Barack Obama became the first senator to be elected to the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. -- and Obama hadn't even completed an entire term in the upper chamber.
Single votes in Congress almost always resurface during heated presidential primary and general election campaigns. Sen. John Kerry spent the spring and summer of 2004 explaining why he voted against a supplemental appropriation for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, including telling a crowd he "actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."
And Hillary Clinton's vote in the Senate to authorize the war in Iraq provided fodder for her then-rival Barack Obama during their battle for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

Courtesy Splendid ProductsThis is an example of the boxes that Splendid Products used to ship Daniella mangoes, which are now recalled because of possible salmonella contamination.The CDC's outbreak update Aug. 29 did not specify a brand, but said 70% of the outbreak victims in the U.S. reported eating mangoes during the week before they became ill. Of the 103 sick people in the U.S., 62 had to be admitted to hospitals, the CDC said. The illnesses began July 1, according to data from CDC's PulseNet system.
"Public health officials have not identified a specific type or source for the mangoes that are likely causing this outbreak, and therefore we do not have specific consumer advice at this time regarding eating mangoes." the CDC update said.
California Department of Public Health remains the lead investigative agency for the outbreak in the U.S. Seventy-eight of the salmonella cases in the U.S. have been reported in California, the CDC update said.
"Among ill persons in California, approximately 80% are of Hispanic ethnicity. Many of the ill persons in California report purchasing mangoes from Hispanic markets or grocery stores. Investigations are ongoing to determine the specific type and source of mangoes that might be linked with illness," said the CDC update.

Hi I would like to know how to change the dimensions style in a drawing.
By standard the text is always viewed from below however I would like to have the vertical dimensions viewed from the right? I would also like all the text to sit above the dimension line.
I presume these are all editable somehow in the config file as is the case for most things in Creo. Is there a list of some sort which I can find which config options perform which changes?
Thanks in advance.
Hey Steve,
You'll need to set the drawing option "text_orientation" to "parallel". This is not a config option. With an open drawing go to File>Drawing options.
With drawing options, all options can be viewed on the list unlike config options in which you have to know the name of the option or use the search field to find it.
If you want a serachable list for drawing options and config option, go to http://www.proesite.com/. Click Utilities in the left margin and then click "check out my on-line utilities".
Do I need to change these options for every drawing or is there a way of setting this as a preference?
Thanks very much for the link.
Hi Steve
Drawing options can be saved as a .dtl file
You can give the path of this (.dtl) file in your Config.pro in the following option
drawing_setup_file <Path of the file>
Whilst we are discussing drawings I would also like to know how to change certain other preferences please.
(I am working in Creo 1). I realise they are all pretty simple questions but I am very new to ProE/Creo.
1. I cannot see the full list of drawing options only those which apply to the current drawing meaning I cant change these parameters.
2. I would like to dimension to a PCD this may also include dimensioning to axis which appear in the drawing? i.e for angles and hole notes etc.
3. I would like to have a hole note which display the quantity of holes if they are patterned.
Thanks again in advance
3. The number of instances of patterend holes will be a part of the note when created as shown above. Notice the (1) HOLE at the end of the note, this means there is only 1 hole. When patterend, it will change.
Let us know of anythign else you need to know.
If you notice the dimensions at the bottom. I have a plain hole 11mm diameter and there are 6 around the pcd. I would like the note to say that fact. (I may at some point have 100 plain holes around the pcd therfore counting them isnt practical).
Also on the end view shown above and to the right I would like to dimension from the centre axis of each piece. I cannot select an centre line to dimension to.
For showing the number of patterned instances, see item 3 in my previous reply.
I cannot think of why you would not be able to select a centerline. I've never had to change the config file to allow the selection of centerlines. Is it that you cannot select a centerline when placing dimensions or is it that you cannot select them at any time?
Only that I cannot select them to dimension to.
I can highlight them and click them etc in any other mode.
Is your dimension attachment type set to entity? If it is then, for now, I cannot think what is causing the problem.
I would try recreating the centerlines if they were created in an older version of Pro/E.
In case its needed, see this thread for making centerlines: http://communities.ptc.com/message/176624#176624
Thanks very much for the help. You appear to have inadvertantly answered my question with your link to adding centrelines. My centrelines or axis show up in the drawing (more as ghosts then actual usable datums) but do not allow me to dimension to them until I have followed the method in the link.
Thanks again.
Hi Kevin
Further to your answer yesterday about hole quantities I have come up with another question. I found that you can also report a hole quantity with and &p17 function or similar. This work well for holes patterned around and axis however with holes patterned with 2 directions you get 2 & figures. E.g. 3 holes vertical and 6 horizontal. I have also turned some of the hole instances off so instead of a 3x6 pattern of holes I only have 14 holes around a square flange. I cannot find a single & figure which displays the actual quantity of holes.
I don't know how you used that &p17 function you mentioned, it did not work for me.
I don't thik it will be necessary, though. As we discussed earlier, the automatic hole note gives you the number of holes in the note. It will give you the number of holes if you create an axis pattern or a 2 dimension pattern. Then the note can be modified to match you drafting prefernces.
This is the default note. Notice the - ( 6 ) at the end. I created a pattern that has 3 holes in one direction and 2 holes in the other.
I modified the - ( 6 ) to show X6. You could move it the beginning of the note as 6X if needed.
Reminder: to edit the note, select it, right-click, pick edit value
The hole note option only becomes available once I choose to have a tapped hole. If I just have a plain hole then I do not get the option for a hole note and therefore no quantity.
There is something different about the methods that we are using.
I changed the hole type to exclude the tapping (circled in red).
The note updated as expected. The tap portion of the note was removed.
Then, I deleted the note to see if Show Model Annotations would bring it back and it did.
Read the thread again and see if something doesn't make sense.

Courteney Cox Gossip
Courteney Cox gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel
AKM-GSI/ Splash
They all went out together last night. It was a Friends reunion at Craig's in LA as Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Jennifer Aniston met up for dinner, leaving in separate cars. Courteney and Lisa drove themselves. Jen had a driver. And I'm with her man because why not have another glass of wine when someone can take you home? If more of them took that extra step, they wouldn't always be getting busted for DUI. Full Story
Jen's & Courteney's double date
Matt Sayles /Invision for DETAILS /AP Images
Jennifer Aniston was out last night at a DETAILS party because her fiancé Justin Theroux is the current cover. And Courteney Cox came with her fiancé too. In other Aniston news, she's just launched her second fragrance "J". Her first fragrance came out three years ago. Full Story
Courteney Cox might marry Johnny McDaid
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
Page Six reported today that Courteney Cox and boyfriend Johnny McDaid have discussed getting engaged. Great. They're happy. He loves her daughter. It's wonderful. I feel like it sounds weird though. Had it been described as "they are talking about getting married" then I think I'd feel differently. Full Story
Courteney & Johnny's first carpet
Angela Weiss/ Getty
Courteney Cox walked the carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival in LA yesterday with boyfriend Johnny McDaid. The two have made no attempt to hide their relationship since they started dating but this is the first official event they've attended together. Photo Assumption says both seem relaxed. Full Story
Courteney, Coco, and Johnny: a family holiday
FameFlynet, Polite Paparazzi /Splash News
Courteney Cox, her daughter Coco, and her boyfriend Johnny McDaid were sighted at LAX on Valentine's Day. They ended up in Venice. Does he remind you of Stephen Moyer, a little? A hybrid of Stephens, actually: Moyer and Huvane. It's been 3 months for Courteney and Johnny, at least that we know of. Full Story
Friends in green bikinis
Clasos.com.mx / Splash News, Premiere /4CRNS/ FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are approaching 2014 in Cabo. Yesterday they both wore green bikinis. Jen hydrated with SmartWater. She wrapped her arms around her still-fiance at one point. Perhaps she was congratulating him on finding another pair of shorts. Anyway, here, enjoy the bikini shots. Full Story
Jen & Friends: NYE 2013
4CRNS /Premiere /FAMEFLYNET, Clasos.com.mx /Splash News
It's an annual tradition: Jennifer Aniston and her friends hop a private jet to Cabo where they welcome the new year in bikinis. Actually, everyone else is in traditional swimwear but Justin Theroux prefers black cut-off jeans. This time there's no John Krasinski or Emily Blunt, who is pregnant. Full Story
Courteney's Christmas romance
McAf /Splash News
Doesn't look like Courteney Cox will be single on New Year's Eve. She has a boyfriend now – Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol. OK so now we're all remembering Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-3, right? The two were first seen together at Jennifer Aniston's holiday party last week – click here Full Story
Cougar Town Seems Fun

Courteney's Birthday Friends
Courteney Cox celebrated her 49th birthday this weekend over dinner with her friends, some famous, some not. The famous ones included Laura Dern, Jennifer Meyer, and Isla Fisher. Also I think one of the dudes from her show though since I don't watch it, and I'm too lazy to google, you figure out for yourself which one. Full Story
Jen & her Friends
Jennifer Aniston is co-hosting the Ellen DeGeneres Show today. This was surprising to me. Because it's not like she has a movie to promote. And she's big enough of a star that she can afford to be more sparing with her time anyway even when she does have something to promote...although when you get into the "lifestyle" game, all those rules must change. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston's missing photo
Jeff Vespa/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Jennifer Aniston and SELF Magazine celebrated her yoga instructor Mandy Ingber's new book yesterday in LA. Jen wore a short black dress, no surprise, and ugly shoes, no surprise. Jen's best friend Courteney Cox, who appears to be turning into Teri Hatcher, was also at the event. Courteney posed for photos with a lot of other people, and so did Jen, including Kate Beckinsale, with whom they both posed together, but separately, and . Full Story
Chelsea > Courteney?
Two posts on Jennifer Aniston today, so as not to mix up all her intrigue. The shaved boyfriend is one thing... but what about the missing best friend? You'll note, it was NOT Courteney Cox who stood with Jen yesterday as she was honoured at the Hand and Foot Ceremony. Instead, it's Chelsea Handler, Jen's recent constant companion, at least for the last 9 months or so. Full Story
Jen's BF & her BFF
Us Weekly is reporting in this week's issue that Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are on a break. The publication says the two haven't been photographed together in a year and that Jen is mad at CC because CC may be stepping out on David Arquette with several co-stars. Full Story

Plugin for Gary's Cookbook ... help!
Hello guys! I write because I'm desperately looking for a plugin that will allow me to send to the Google sitemap Gary's Cookbook. I tried to copy a plugin and edit it but unfortunately I have my limits and I walked off the job, too complex for me. Could someone help me? I almost 1,000 recipes and I add new ones every day! There was a plugin for Joomla 1.5 (I've never got it to work). Now I'm going to Joomla 2.5, with the new version of Gary's just that there is no plugin for Xmap. Sorry for the terrible English translated! Thanks for everything and good day

Clevelanders Ruthie Forgey, Tyrone Johnson and Alex Stephens know such goals well. They each made significant progress toward their own fitness goals in 2012 and would like to offer their advice to anyone resolving to live a healthier lifestyle in 2013.
Johnson, a Pentecostal Theological Seminary student from Randallstown, Md., stayed in shape while he was working on his bachelor's degree at Lee University. However, he found it difficult to move on to his next goal, to become a bodybuilder. Between college classes, church and other responsibilities, he found it difficult to devote the amount of time it takes to properly train for bodybuilding competitions.
"I just couldn't put school, bodybuilding and ministry together," Johnson said.
After he graduated from Lee University, he moved to New Orleans to work with AmeriCorps. There, he met a female friend who encouraged him in his fitness goals. Together, they decided to train for a bodybuilding competition, making new lifestyle changes along the way. They started by changing the way they ate.
"We just started dieting after Mardi Gras and did research [on what to eat]," Johnson said. "Everything about bodybuilding always deals with dieting."
The pair began gradually changing their eating and workout habits. Though he had already been working out on a regular basis, Johnson said he had to get used to the time required for training to become a professional bodybuilder. To work toward his goal of competing, he started by adding an extra day at the gym to his schedule.
"When I first started, it was four days a week," Johnson said. "Moving into the new year, I added in Saturdays."
During "contest season," it was not uncommon for him to spend up to eight hours a day at the gym. Last July, he participated in his first competition, in New Orleans. He said he also went to a competition in Texas in November where he qualified to compete in a national competition this summer. He has since moved back to Cleveland and become a full-time graduate student, requiring him to scale back his schedule a bit. Still, his normal schedule includes evening trips to the gym that can last around four hours. Johnson said eating differently and exercising more took quite a bit of getting used to but that those new changes later became continuing habits.
To anyone embarking on a new fitness plan, Johnson advises celebrating small victories on the way to larger goals rather than being focused on just one number or measurement.
"What I recommend is making small plans to get to the big picture," Johnson said.
He advises choosing certain milestones to reach on the way to a larger goal. An example would be hitting the mark of losing 10 pounds on a journey to lose 50 pounds. Johnson said one way he began to work toward bodybuilding was to gradually make new lifestyle changes until he got where he needed to be for the competitions. His first step was adding more time in his schedule for exercise, and he said that is a great start for anyone working toward a fitness-related goal.
"Thirty minutes a day is a good start," Johnson said, stressing that a person will begin to see positive results even if they don't spend hours a day at the gym.
As far as eating goes, Johnson recommends creating a "cheat day" each week to enjoy favorite foods that might not be part of a healthy diet, just to keep from feeling deprived. The key, he said, is eating well the rest of the time. However, the most important thing in his view is to stay focused on both short- and long-term goals and realize it is up to each person to accomplish them for themselves.
"It's important to not make excuses," Johnson said. "Bodybuilding has taught me determination. I've been able to learn how to overcome obstacles."
Alex Stephens, a Cleveland native attending Bryan College in Dayton, also realizes that learning how to tackle obstacles is an important part of fitness.
When he was 12 years old, Stephens joined Cleveland Middle School's cross country team with his twin brother, Ben. He said with a laugh that they had started cross country simply because they wanted to be on a school team. They didn't think they would have to run as much as they did, he said. But the brothers eventually developed the discipline and endurance they needed to run long distances, and Stephens still runs cross country today as part of his college's intercollegiate team.
"I learned at a very young age that if you're gonna be a good runner, there are a lot of things you have to do," Stephens said. "Ten years later, I've honed them down to a lifestyle."
Stephens was recently a finalist for "Fit Man On Campus," a contest for college-aged men sponsored by Men's Fitness magazine that required participants to film themselves completing challenges like doing as many push-ups as possible in one minute. While he did not win first place, he said it gave him a platform to share advice to people struggling with issues like obesity.
"I did believe I had something I could share with people," Stephens said.
Since the competition, he said he has had multiple people ask him for advice for their own fitness goals. Though his college studies are in corporate communications, he said he has a strong interest in exercise science and loves helping others reach their fitness goals.
Stephens believes the first thing people need to realize when starting a new goal is that they alone are responsible for their own success or failure. Hearing good advice does not equal success by itself, he added.
"The only person who can truly change the way you are is yourself," Stephens said. "There is merit to most advice we hear, but nobody can force us to apply it to our lives."
For someone just starting out, he recommends making small lifestyle changes like drinking more water on a daily basis and exercising 35-45 minutes a day, whether that time be spent walking with friends or going to the gym. Stephens said many people confuse dehydration for hunger and that drinking more water can help them feel more energized without eating as much food. He also said getting into the habit of exercising daily can make a big difference in a person's health as well.
"If they stick to it, their body is going to change," Stephens said.
Some people may also need to rethink they way they view food. Stephens said he has seen family and friends reward themselves with certain foods after they work out at the gym or achieve other goals. He said it is important to celebrate achievements, but not with food.
"People reward themselves in all the wrong ways," Stephens said. "What you really deserve is the self-satisfaction of doing something good for your body."
Stephens encourages those who are out of shape to not be intimidated by those who look like they are in good shape, because everyone had to start somewhere. Knowing how to eat and exercise well are both things he said he had to learn. When taking up an exercise regimen or radically changing eating habits, one should also consult one's doctor.
"Don't be afraid to seek help," Stephens said. "There's a learning curve to fitness."
Ruthie Forgey, corps administrator at the Salvation Army of Cleveland, may not be training to be a bodybuilder or cross country runner, but she does know how to keep a New Year's resolution. On Jan. 1, 2012, she resolved to get healthier and lose weight. By the time the same date in 2013 had come, she had lost about 100 pounds.
Forgey said she dropped her weight from 376 pounds to 274 pounds and plans to continue her progress in the new year.
She was always the sort who had a hard time keeping New Year's resolutions, she said. That was, until she decided to keep herself accountable for her resolution every day of the year.
"Instead of a resolution, I committed myself to make a resolution each day," Forgey said. "My resolution was to make a daily resolution to myself."
She said she had to make a choice each day to eat foods with fewer calories and fit exercise into her busy schedule.
"There's no magic formula," Forgey said. "You eat less and you move more."
Forgey said her weight made it difficult for her to get started working out on a regular basis. She said she began swimming and doing water aerobics because her weight caused pain in her joints on land. Once she lost some of the weight and "built up enough confidence," she began using a treadmill and other gym equipment.
It can be intimidating for someone who is out of shape to work out in a gym with the likes of bodybuilders, she said. For her, the key was to remind herself that working out was all about making herself healthier and that only her fitness goals made any difference to her.
"You just can't compare yourself," Forgey said. "Be excited about your goals."
In addition to beginning to work out regularly, she began to change her entire diet by switching unhealthy foods for healthy ones. Instead of picking up fried chicken biscuits for breakfast from a drive-thru before work, she made time in the morning to make a meal of things like poached eggs, toast and yogurt instead. A typical lunch of hamburgers and fries became grilled chicken and vegetables. Junk food gave way to fruits and vegetables. She never crash-dieted, she said. She substituted.
Forgey said she had to overcome obstacles like eating to cope with stress, but she found that she could relieve stress by exercising more instead of overeating. She encourages people to make changes they can actually keep and admits that real lifestyle changes can take time. It took her a year to lose close to 100 pounds by making gradual changes to the way she approached food and fitness.
"That's about 2 pounds a week," Forgey said. "It's not quick. It's not quick gaining it either. It's not about a diet. It's a lifestyle."
Because she has made lifestyle changes that have already helped her lose weight, she expects to continue that path and get in even better shape this year.
"I'm better than I was a year ago, but I'm not at my best yet," Forgey said. "I refuse to settle."
She, along with some of her co-workers, have started a group called "Faith and Fitness" that allows people to meet and discuss issues related to healthy living. The group meets on the first Tuesday night of each month, and anyone interested can contact The Salvation Army of Cleveland for more information.
Though Forgey, Johnson and Stephens have had very different fitness experiences, they all agree on certain points, such as the importance of eating well, exercising regularly and staying focused on personal goals.
They all said the most important thing to remember is that people can only meet their fitness goals if they consciously choose to make healthy changes to their daily lifestyles.

Jan 18-Jan 24, 2015
Sporadically occurring influenza-like illness and positive flu tests. In addition, outbreaks of influenza-like illness in schools and workplaces, or lab confirmed flu in residential institutions (i.e., nursing homes, etc.) occurring in greater than or equal to 50% of the region. Includes seasonal flu and H1N1.
National Summary
- In week 3, all influenza indicators declined from the previous week, indicating that peak of the influenza season in Canada may have passed.
- A(H3N2)continues to be the most common type of influenza affecting Canadians. In both laboratory detections, hospitalizations and deaths, the majority of cases have been among seniors ≥65 years of age.
- On January 26, 2015, the first imported human case of avian influenza A (H7N9)from China was confirmed in Canada. A second case was confirmed on January 29, 2015. They are the first North Americans known to have been infected with this virus. The individuals were from British Columbia and travelled together to China. Neither required hospitalization and both have recovered. Close contacts are being monitored by appropriate public health authorities. The risk of Canadians getting sick with avian influenza A (H7N9) is very low.
- A Canadian study has examined the mid-season data on the current flu vaccine's effectiveness in Canada. The study observed little to no vaccine protection against the A(H3N2) virus, this season's most common influenza virus. The results of this study are not unexpected. As flu viruses move through the population, they can change or drift. The time it takes from the start to the finish of a vaccine production, is sometimes sufficient time for the virus to change, which is what happened this year in particular with H3N2. Evidence from the NML, however, still suggests that the vaccine continues to provide protection against the circulating A(H1N1)and B strains.

As I recently watched Rajai Davis do his thing in a
Cactus League game–double, stolen base and run scored in the first inning of
last Sunday's game against Kansas City–I couldn't help but think of an earlier Oakland
A's era. It was called Billyball,
starring the always colorful Billy Martin as team manager. This year marks the 30th
anniversary of that unique chapter of our franchise's history. I see a few similarities between those A's
clubs of 1980-82 and our current edition.
Back in 1980, Martin inherited a young team that had endured a 108-loss
season the previous year. His plan to
reverse the A's fortunes was based on stellar starting pitching, solid defense,
daring base running and competent situational hitting. Is this starting to sound familiar?
Before long, this young and unproven club was
unnerving the opposition with double steals and steals of home plate–they stole
home seven times in 1980–suicide
squeeze bunts, hit-and-run plays, and even a successful hidden ball trick on
Opening Day! A dear friend of mine, the
late, great Ralph Wiley of the Oakland
Tribune (and later Sports Illustrated
and ESPN fame), witnessed this
new, exciting brand of baseball unfold under Martin's direction. He decided there was only one way to describe
what was happening in Oakland. He would call it, Billyball. The name stuck
and soon it appeared in club advertisements and national media coverage. Remarkably, Martin piloted the 1980 A's to an
83-79 record and second-place finish in the AL West, which represented a
29-game improvement from the previous season.
Led by second-year outfielder Rickey Henderson, who broke Ty Cobb's
American League record with 100 stolen bases, that '80 club won with speed (175
stolen bases) and pitching (league-best 3.46 ERA). Martin, who believed pitchers should finish
what they start, would have laughed at today's pitch-count obsession. His first A's pitching staff posted a mind-boggling
94 complete games, still the Oakland
team record. In fact, A's pitchers
reeled off nine consecutive complete
games from Aug. 9-17 that season.
Right-handers Rick Langford (28, still a club mark)
and Mike Norris (24) combined for 52 complete games in 1980. Norris, the Cy Young Award runner-up, carved
up AL hitters
for a 22-9 record and 2.53 ERA, while Langford wasn't far behind at 19-12 with
a 3.26 ERA. Matt Keough (16-13, 2.92),
Steve McCatty (14-14, 3.86) and Brian Kingman (8-20, 3.83) rounded out a
five-man rotation that combined for 1,257 innings–an average of 251 innings per pitcher.
As an encore, Martin led Oakland to a 64-45 record to claim the AL
West title by five games in a strike-shortened 1981 season. The A's enjoyed an April for the ages that
year, going 18-3. Despite a dearth of
front-line position players, the A's fleet-footed trio of Henderson, Dwayne Murphy and Tony Armas
comprised one of the better outfield units in the league, virtually eliminating
balls from falling in the gaps. 2010 A's
fans, does this sound familiar?
While Martin's tenure in Oakland was brief and went
up in flames after a 68-94 downturn in 1982, Billyball will always have a warm place in the heart of A's
fans. Oakland was really struggling, having
suffered through three straight dismal seasons, losing 98, 93 and 108
games. Attendance had hit an all-time
low in 1979, averaging only 3,984 fans
per game. Buoyed by Billyball, Martin revived an ailing franchise. His teams reeled off the three highest home
attendance seasons since the A's moved to Oakland
in 1968–in other words, more fans than the team drew in any of their three
World Series championship seasons of 1972-74.
Billyball, truly a remarkable
chapter in Oakland
A's history. Whether another improbable
chapter can be written in 2010 with the likes of Rajai Davis, Coco Crisp and
Ryan Sweeney and a plethora of gifted young pitchers, remains to be seen. It will all start on Opening Night against
the Mariners April 5.
2 Comments
Billyball will always be a beloved part of Oakland A's history, and I can even follow you in the sense that the 2010 squad has some similarities on the field. Where the whole thing breaks down is at the Billy part.
Bob Geren is about as far from Billy Martin as a manager could get. Billy was exciting, brash, and unapologetic. He took control of the team and put his stamp on it by pushing the envelope at every opportunity. Bob, on the other hand, fills out the lineup card and has a seat. And oh by the way, Billy Beane tells Bob how to fill out the lineup card.
Which came first, the problem or the sloution? Luckily it doesn't matter.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 7/28/2009
Which brings us to the all-new Forte. With the Forte, Kia has set its sights on the notoriously competitive (and profit-challenged) compact sedan segment, and it is aiming squarely at the powerhouses that currently dominate the market: the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. That's no small task, and one at which Kia's erstwhile small sedan, the Spectra, utterly failed.
Compared with the Spectra, the Forte has a more dynamic look, with a distinct wedge-shaped profile and a wider stance. Its trunk is cavernous, with 14.7 cubic feet of cargo volume that can be further extended by lowering the split-folding rear seats. The cabin is nicely appointed, with cloth or leather seats, a user-friendly center stack, steering-wheel-mounted controls, standard Sirius radio, and Bluetooth.
The Forte is available in three trim levels: LX, EX, and SX. The LX and the EX are equipped with a 156-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission, with an optional four-speed automatic. The sportier SX comes with a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic. A Fuel Economy Package, which improves EPA estimated fuel mileage from 25/34 mpg to 27/36 mpg (city/highway), is available on the EX.
We drove an EX with the lively 2.0-liter, but the four-speed automatic to which it is mated longs for another gear - hammering the pedal for passing maneuvers resulted in timely but abrupt downshifts that were accompanied by too much engine noise. The sportier SX had an even more satisfying amount of power, but the six-speed manual took some getting used to, due to its overly sensitive clutch takeup and vague shift action. Although the Forte's performance isn't exactly ground-breaking, its speed-sensitive steering is accurate and progressive, its four-wheel disc brakes are up to the job, and its suspension, which was tuned in the U.S. for American road conditions, absorbs bumps well without unsettling the ride.
The Forte is unlikely to dethrone either the Civic or the Corolla - or for that matter the Mazda 3 - but Kia now has a bona fide competitor to all of them.

Food and Environmental Protection
The Food and Environmental Protection Section of the Joint Programme and its associated Food and Environmental Protection Laboratory of the FAO/IAEA Agricultural and Biotechnology Laboratory in Seibersdorf provide assistance and support to countries in their efforts to ensure the safety and quality of food and agricultural commodities and food security while at the same time facilitating international trade. Our activities primarily focus on strengthening Member State capacities for the application of international standards on irradiation as well as on the use of nuclear and related analytical technologies and capacity building in the control of food and environmental hazards as well as food traceability and authenticity. These efforts are based on a coordinated and comprehensive "farm to fork" approach to food production systems that ensure the application of good agricultural practices throughout the food chain.
Present activities focus on:
- The application of harmonized national regulations for sanitary and phytosanitary applications of irradiation on the basis of international standards.
- The revision and application of harmonized regulations related to radionuclide levels in foods.
- The application of harmonized national regulations related to good laboratory practices and analytical procedures for food contaminants and residues, including pesticides and veterinary drugs.
- Food traceability and authenticity.
- The application of harmonized international guidance related to nuclear preparedness and response to nuclear or radiological events, including the application of appropriate agricultural countermeasures.
These activities are undertaken in four main areas, namely, coordination and support in research, providing technical and advisory services, providing laboratory support and training and collecting, analyzing and disseminating information. Our activities are implemented through Coordinated Research Projects, Technical Cooperation Projects, Meetings and Training Courses, eLearning courses, and Publications.

I'm a German, so I must be a nazi. Thank you very much, but I was born in 1960 - 15 years after the Third Reich ended. And I had a grandfather who was in a KZ because he was against the Nazis.
This one makes me scream. I had a German boyfriend while I was at uni (2001-2004), and several people said "He's German? Does he know your family are Jewish?!" I was so angry I trembled at that.

I love the sounds on this! I bought it when my daughter was 2 months and have been using it for almost two years now. Only complaint about it is the projector stopped working about 8 months after we got it. We have a alarm clock/sound machine from them as well. Over all they are both pretty good but I think the sounds are better from the alarm clock. I would buy them both again though.

My mother-in-law bought this for us before our twins were born. Once the babies were sleeping in their own room in the crib upstairs, I started using the sound feature every night as part of our normal bedtime routine. Starting out with me in the room and letting it play all through the night on the white noise. My hope was that when either work in the night, the sound would help reassure them that they were in a safe, familiar place. They both slept longer when it played. As they got older and each got their own room, I bought another one so they could each have one. I set the timer so the sound wouldn't stay on all night. I didn't start using the light projector until they were about 5 years old, when they first started complaining about being afraid of the dark. The projector was a disappointment as one machine never rotated and the other stopped rotating after a few months. Sometimes one will start working again - and I cannot figure out why - just long enough for the kids to really enjoy it before it stops again in a few days. Kind of a bad trick. Improvements could be made in the following areas:
1. Reliable functioning of the rotation feature.
2. A button or knob that would controls the rotation and rotation speed independent of the sound and the projection.
3. More options for the image discs. As a start, I would like to see a neoclassical painting of angels in the clouds, a realistic starry night with just the stars showing, realistic sunrise/sunset, and realistic looking flying birds or bird silhouettes.
4. A kit to make our own projection discs.Overall - -B/G Twin Mom

This is good! I had been searching for a mobile that DOESNT turn off because they all have timers, which seems crazy to me because then obviously the baby starts crying as soon as it shuts off. While it doesnt have moving parts per se like a mobile does, it projects moving pictures, so Im happy! (and so is baby). And the sounds are great! Im posting on Facebook to all of my new mom friends so they can all get one!!

I've used the sound option for my daughter since she was a few weeks old. She's now 3 and we still use it everynight. The rain setting is great white noise and blocks outside sounds so she can sleep through the night. We just recently started using the projector. It's a great feature that my daughter loves, but the motor is quite noisy. Fortunately, we use the sound at the same time, so they blend together and don't seem to bother my LO. Would highly recommend for all new moms and babies. Helps everyone in our house sleep better.

I gave the product three stars simply due to the fact that our twins love this machine, but we are on our fourth one in less than a year - the projection mechanism on the machine lasts roughly 8 weeks, give or take a couple. I have registered one complaint (so far) with Homedics. They did offer to replace the machine after sending me a label to return the faulty one, which I appreciate, but then we would be without one for several weeks. Instead, I have chosen to return the item to the place of purchase and have it replaced immediately there. Homedics says they do not have any information to offer their consumers as to what quality control is doing to fix this long-running issue with this product.

Our 18 month old was having issues sleeping through the night. He would wake up after about 4 or 5 hours and simply wouldn't go back to sleep. Literally the first night we used this, he stayed in his bed asleep all night long. I can't praise this product enough!

We absolutely love it! Works great- really like that both the brightness and volume can be adjusted. Good songs and nature noises and the disks are very cute! The only reason that I did not give it the full 5 stars is because my husband and I wish that we could purchase more discs (not that the ones that come with are not great, but as he becomes a toddler it would be nice to be able to change it up a bit).

One of our baby product best buys! Bought it as a gift, but kept it for my baby she liked it so much. She has no problems falling asleep alone if its on. Very portable too, which makes traveling and sleep overs less disruptive to her sleep. Rain setting is perfect white noise. Every once in a while projector acts up, we give it a break for 1-2 days and its fine again. Timer is great, soothes her to sleep but still allows her to sleep most the night in the dark, like experts recommend. We only wish they made more discs! The 3 it comes with are super cute, but after a year my husband and I are slightly bored of them (of course not our daughter though). Definitely recommend!

This sound spa is so awesome! Absolutely perfect! Purchased for baby not yet born, but the sound is great. I purchased another sound spa and the speaker / sound was very cheap, so I returned it for this one. Love the projection, buttons are easy. Only has 6 sounds, but they are the perfect sounds, 3 sounds and 3 songs, just right. Also, it is not annoying at all for parents. Some baby sound spas have annoying sounds that would drive a parent nuts, and this one doesn't at all. Sounds very nice. I can see where this would be something to use infant through toddler and even beyond ! And, great price ! Found ours at Target.
