Investing in an RESP early on can give you peace of mind knowing that money is there to help fund your child's education. The earlier you start, the more your savings can benefit from the power of compounding. If you start investing $210 every month for your newborn, their RESP could be worth as much as $30,743 more than if you start when your child is five.
The ecological and physical consequences of blowing our carbon budget, from disappearing coastlines to a melting arctic, are stark but often hard for someone like Minister Flaherty to understand. This ignorance, willful or accidental, is dangerous because it is also obscuring major economic consequences.
Health associations have long been calling for a "fat tax"; taxes on foods that some nutritionists and researchers don't want us to eat or drink. Unfortunately, the lack of sound thinking behind vilifying sugary drinks or less healthful snacks has not changed, nor has the blunt, imprecise, and unfair nature of a "junk food" or "sugary drink" tax. Overly simplistic solutions to obesity that vilify an industry or food product are bad public policy. The reality is that "junk food" taxes or sugary drink taxes are ineffective instruments that fail to recognize the complex and manifold causes of obesity. It's time we put the idea of such taxes in their rightful place: the junk bin.
Canada is a superb creation and initial credit for that must, obviously, go to Canada's founding fathers. How we came about is a fascinating tale of seemingly intractable regional disputes resolved, at least for a time, by new institutions and a new country. Thus, today, inter-provincial debates are similar to pre-1867 tussles where one province's citizens complain of how others are on the federal dole courtesy of tax dollars from the more prosperous regions. And all the provinces again regularly press the federal government for more money.
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a provision for individuals living with a disability to claim a disability tax credit. While this has been in place for a long time, it was just a few years ago that individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) were allowed to claim the tax credit, if they meet the criteria as set out by CRA.
We often hear that in Canada, "the rich are becoming richer while the poor are getting poorer." Fortunately, studies focusing on economic mobility in Canada tell a totally different and more accurate story. By looking at these data, it becomes clear that it is the poorest 20 per cent who enjoy the highest upward economic mobility.
There are many variables when examining which country is best for business, whether it be demographics, infrastructure, cost of living or personal quality of life. An important consideration when deciding where to set up shop is total tax costs. The tax landscape is a delicate ecosystem, and even the slightest change can certainly impact a location's overall competitiveness. A competitive tax structure is crucial to attracting inbound investment, spurring innovation, and creating skilled jobs.

I have a small covered front porch with 2 steps that connect directly to a sloped "driveway".
My issue is the slight slope of the drive (when I try to put a pot on each side for symmetry, the pots slant. Also, a gutter on each side of the entry (which I have tried to hide one side with ivy). I think it looks messy and I can't seem to find the right balance. I am a newbie and will upload pictures as soon as I can figure it out. I hope this will help you help me! |

Sora is a young energetic boy looking forward to exploring the world with his friends Riku and Kairi. One day a mysterious force causes Sora to gain a special weapon known as the Keyblade. Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy leave their castle to search for the king and the chosen one who holds the "key" to saving the world.
A young boy named Roxas whiles away the last days of his summer vacationin his quiet little home of Twilight Town. But strange things keep happening around Roxas, which always seem to involve mysterious creatures... and he is plagued by dreams of a boy named Sora, whom he has never met. Bewildered, Roxas searches for answers... Will they lead him to Sora, Donald, and Goofy?
Stunned by the cryptic words spoken by Namine, Roxas desperately tries to uncover the true connection to his dream-self, Sora. For her part, Namine wants to help Roxas in his quest, but she'll have to act quickly before DiZ succeeds in his plan to "dispose" of her. And then there is the question of Axel, and just whose side he is really on!
The Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee has discovered something that could help everyone in their quest to save the worlds: Ansem's computer. Sora and company join them at Hollow Bastion to see what they can find out, but they're in for a surprise when the computer pulls them inside of it!
On the Destiny Islands, three children - Sora, Riku, and Kairi - are living out their peaceful, carefree lives while yearning for whatever lies beyond the great ocean. But one night, an unexpected disaster takes place, and the three are torn from each other and their island home. Meanwhile, at Disney Castle, Donald Duck and the other castle residents are in an uproar upon discovering King Mickey has suddenly gone missing. When fate brings them together, Sora, Donald, and Goofy set out on a grand Disney adventure to find their friends!
Nobodies: empty shells created when a person's heart is lost to darkness. The Nobody Roxas, created when Sora released his heart to free Kairi's and who knows nothing of his past, joins the mysterious Organization XIII soon after his birth. With the help of Axel, another member of the organization, and the mysterious Number XIV, who is also missing her memories, Roxas slowly begins to learn what it takes to be a part of Organization XIII... and what it means to have a heart.
When Xion loses her Keyblade, it's Roxas's job to make sure no one finds out. As long as the two can go on missions together, no one will know that it's Roxas collecting all the hearts. But will Demyx blow their little secret? And when the Organization issues an order to Xion to capture an outsider masquerading as one of its members, who will come out on top in the ensuing battle?!
Xion, having failed her last mission, is left unconscious and out of commission. Unfortunately, Roxas doesn't have time to worry about his friend because he's been ordered to go to Wonderland with Organization XIII's No. 10 - the Gambler of Fate, Luxord. Can Roxas keep up with the old man's games? Meanwhile, a confrontation with Saix motivates Axel to find out who Xion really is...
Left alone to ponder the purpose of her existence and desperate for answers, Xion journeys alone to find out who - or what - she really is. But little do she, Roxas, and Axel know that her quest will lead to the close of one tale and the continuation of another...
With Xion back in the Organization, she and Roxas can finally work together again. But strangely, Roxas is getting weaker and weaker, while Xion is getting inexplicably stronger. Meanwhile, the leaders of Organization XIII decide that they only need one Keyblade bearer. What fate is in store for Roxas, Xion, and Axel in the conclusion to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days?!
Sora, Donald, and Goofy realize their magic and skills have been completely stripped away - and now Sora must travel on his own!

The wonders of Canada by rail
The landscape slowly closes in. Flanks of rock hem in the increasingly excitable Fraser River, spectacularly so at the Hell's Gate gorge, where the train obligingly slows to what the attendants call 'Kodak speed'. Male passengers congregate on the open platforms at the end of each carriage, indulging their inner rail geek: the ding-ding-dings of the level-crossing bells, the clanks and shrieks of heavy-metal motion, the wind in the hair. Then the scenery lies down again, dustier now, sparsely vegetated with sagebrush.
Sadly, there are no sleeping facilities aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, but a jarring overnight intermission in the well-kept but soulless town of Kamloops, 275 miles down the line, does at least ensure that everyone is refreshed for the scenic splendour that streams in through our glass roof for all of the following day.
Kamloops to Banff: East for 310 miles on the Rocky Mountaineer
From breakfast on, the railway twists ever upwards into the Canadian Rockies, vaulting canyons and boring through snow-tipped mountains. Some of the lofty bridges we clatter across are supported by reassuring iron arcs, but others stand on little more than a lattice of glorified lolly sticks. We are entering a region that even the native First Nations tribes forsook, a 'land of thunder' where booming avalanches wreaked lethal devastation. It is impossible not to empathise with the men who blazed this lonely trail: some 600 Chinese navvies alone perished in explosions, avalanches and rockfalls. Even the surveyors who preceded them were regularly despatched by bears, thunderous rivers and scurvy. Yet the honours, as ever, were reserved for the top brass – almost every town and geographical feature in the region is named after a CPR director or one of the railway's founding fathers (poor Sandford Fleming has had to make do with an eponymous egg dish on the Rocky Mountaineer's breakfast menu).
No-one fancied lending their name to the navigational embarrassment that delivered the railway to its ceiling of 1,627 metres, the top of Kicking Horse Pass, and the watershed between Pacific and Atlantic. Pushed for time and strapped for cash, the engineers laid eight miles of track straight up Big Hill, at a gradient more than twice the safe maximum. Twenty-two years and several fatal accidents later, this incline was moderated by the Spiral Tunnels, a pair of ingenious corkscrews cut into the mountainside. Craning our necks to see the front of our train nose out of a tunnel as the back of it enters, down below we spot the Trans-Canada Highway, laid on top of the original Big Hill track bed. Opened in 1962, it efficiently killed off the CPR as a viable passenger service.
Everything suddenly seems larger in the broad mountain valley that opens out beyond the summit – the pine trees, the glassy bodies of water and the hefty peaks reflected in them. Even the wildlife is super-sized. Bighorn rams stare down from a high bluff, looking as haughty as any sheep ever will; mighty, presidential-grade bald eagles preen themselves in birch trees; and an osprey flaps away from its shambolic nest stuck atop one of the listing, redundant telegraph poles that line the track. The head of the pass is also the border with Alberta and, just before we cross it – and enter another time zone – British Columbia says farewell in a manner that pays tribute to its enduringly maverick character. A beaming trackside bystander hails us, waving from a lonely pasture, proudly and completely naked.
Since 1990, no regular passenger train has run all the way to Toronto on these historic tracks, and the Rocky Mountaineer only runs a small part of the way across Canada's vast breadth. Some 530 miles east of Vancouver, we slow past the craggy, Tolkienesque bulk of Castle Mountain and come to rest in Banff. Some passengers will stay on for another 80 miles to the train's termination point in Calgary but, for most of us, arriving in Banff signals the end of the Rocky Mountaineer line.

We moved to SW Michigan (Berrien County) last December, and are now in a solid zone six. Our property is, essentially, a blank slate (as far as we know!) and I am very much looking forward to restarting my rose gardening. I would like to know: -good places to shop locally for roses I have been told that Lake Michigan creates extra-humid conditions, and I know soil types can vary greatly. I will be hitting up the soil conservation office to read soil surveys so I know better what to face. Three years ago I left behind 30+ rose plants at our house in town, so I am eager to start again. Interesting how my wish list has changed over the years. ;o) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Greenhaven, welcome to Michigan and Garden Web! I'm in SE Michigan so I'm not familiar with nurseries on the west side of the state but I do know there are several rose societies on that side. There is one in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and the new Southwest Michigan Celebration of Roses. You can find contact information for them on the American Rose Society's web site. |

Awesome, thanks! I was excited that the snow revealed a rather large rose shrub of unknown variety in our front bed. Probably a rugosa judging by the size of the hips. Will be exciting to see what appears! |

Now that the deer season is over in most parts of the country , now is a good time for a good gun cleaning. You want to make sure you don't just put it back in the case after using it all season and forget about it. Cleaning your gun thoroughly is very important.It is easy to use your favorite rifle all season and then put it away after deer season and forget about it. It is important to store it nice and clean to prevent rust. And when deer hunting rolls around you will have a nice clean gun that works properly and that is safe to shoot.
Safety: Don't ever point any firearm at anyone even if you know that is unloaded. Take out the magazine or clip and clear the chamber, don't just eject the shell visually check to ensure the chamber is clear.To make sure a firearm is functioning to its specifications you must ensure the firearm is clean. Most malfunctions shotguns,pistols, and rifles have are due to dirty actions and bores. Gun Powder can be corrosive and damage your firearm if not properly cleaned on a regular basis.Read the owner's manual and go only as far recommended. Always inspect each part of the firearm for wear. Also check for rust,hair-line cracks and signs wear. If you have any doubts take it to a gunsmith.
Gun Cleaning Tips
Attention: Before doing anything make sure the firearm is unloaded! Only then proceed with your gun cleaning.
1.Clean your firearm from the breach end if possible because you don't want to get any shavings or debris into the action. Using the proper cleaning kit for your caliber firearm. Assemble the rod and screw the desired tip patch holder in. Pull a patch through the tip and soak it with cleaning solvent.
2. Push the rod with the soaked patch down the barrel to coat the bore. Take off the dirty patch at the other end of the barrel. Wait a few minutes to let the solvent soak into the dirty barrel.
3. Pull the rod back out of the barrel without a patch, then screw in the correct brush to the rod. Soak this brush with solvent and push and pull it up and down the barrel 5 or 6 times. Put the patch tip back on and put a patch on the tip and dip it in solvent and push it down the barrel with a clean patch until the patch comes out clean. Then push a dry clean patch down the barrel to get rid of ant remaining solvent.
4. Then put a few drops of gun oil to a clean patch and push it through to leave a slight coat of oil inside the barrel.
5. With a proper(nylon) brush coated with solvent brush any powder away that you see or any debris away from the action. Once the action is clean use a gun oil to barely coat all parts and surfaces.
6. Reassemble the firearm and wipe any areas you touch with your skin with a soft cloth slightly oiled.
Check and make sure the guns action is working properly or the bolt. Also make sure the bore is clear of anything before firing.

He contacted the retailer and the manufacturer and asked for a repair or replacement. But he also had to throw away a lot of food which had spoiled due to the broken fridge. He spent a fair amount of time waiting for the repairman to arrive and then for a new fridge to be delivered.
Andrew wrote an email along these lines –
My fridge stopped working not long after I bought it and has since been replaced by your company. I believe that under the Australian Consumer Law, I am entitled to claim compensation for spoiled food and for cost and inconvenience while waiting for a technician to diagnose the problem and then for the fridge to be replaced. I attach a list of the fridge contents and the estimated amount of each item, which totals $75. I don't have receipts as I did not anticipate needing them when I bought the contents. I have also spent time waiting for an engineer which I estimate cost me $200. I also spent 10 days without a fridge, which I think is worth at least $100.
Andrew received a compensation cheque for $150, which was more than he was expecting.
Remember that not all manufacturers will be as forthcoming and Andrew's fridge was only three months old.
If your new fridge doesn't meet a consumer guarantee you might be entitled to claim compensation. Make sure you are only claiming for costs that are reasonably related to the failure to meet the consumer guarantee. Get as much information as you can to support your claim. For example:
Sandra's daughter bought a charm for a bracelet in December 2013. Within two weeks, the charm had broken. When she returned it to the store to be replaced, she was told that it was not covered by the store's 12-month warranty as this was considered wear and tear.
We told Sandra that all consumer goods sold in Australia since 1 January 2011 are covered by the Australian Consumer Law guarantees which include a guarantee that goods are of acceptable quality. Goods should last for a reasonable period of time, keeping in mind their price and what they are supposed to do. This is in addition to any manufacturer's warranty. Clearly a piece of jewellery should last longer than two weeks if it is worn as intended.
The jewellery store should have offered Sandra's daughter a replacement or at the very least a free repair.
Marc bought a new car in November 2013. After he handed over the cheque he was told by the dealer that the manufacturer was shipping cars without certain equipment, in this case a reverse safety camera assembly. Six months after the purchase, Marc was still trying to speak with the dealer and the importer to try to get his reverse camera. The importer tried to blame the dealer, who blamed the manufacturer and no one would reply to Marc's emails or phone calls. He felt he was going around in circles with no one willing to fix his problem.
We told Marc that it looked like the dealer had not complied with the terms of the contract he signed to buy his new car. There are also consumer guarantees that apply to the sale of consumer goods, including motor vehicles. One of these guarantees is that the goods have to match their description - for example in a catalogue or on an advertisement.
Marc might not have paid the extra money for the reverse safety camera if he had known how long it would take to be installed and he may have gone elsewhere to have this done. This might be relevant to a claim for a refund or compensation.
We told Marc to contact the dealer again and mention breach of contract and Australian Consumer Law to see if he could get a better response. Sometimes using these words can work wonders. Sometimes not - it depends on the awareness of the dealer of the provisions of the consumer law.
Unfortunately Marc could not get anyone to return his calls – again. So we tried.
We can't always phone dealerships to get these types of problems fixed. But sometimes simply the mention of getting CHOICE involved works well. And always remember to mention the Australian Consumer Law.
Sharon asked us how long is too long to wait for an appliance repair? Sharon's $600 steam station iron was just over 12 months old and caught fire. The manufacturer told her that as it was within the second year of the manufacturer's warranty, it had to be repaired rather than replaced. After leaving it for repair in December 2013, Sharon called the repairer many times until finally in March 2014 she contacted CHOICE in frustration.
We thought three months was too long, but were also intrigued that the manufacturer had said that after one year you can only elect to have your appliance repaired rather than replaced. This does not seem to comply with the Australian Consumer Law.
We suggested Sharon contact the manufacturer again and ask for the repair to be carried out immediately or to give her a replacement iron. The $600 price tag was a lot of money to spend on an iron so you don't expect it to break after one or two years.
Sharon contacted the manufacturer again and also mentioned she had contacted CHOICE. She received a call the next day to say her iron was ready.

Weight Control Secret: Energy BalanceLearn how to balance calories in with calories out By Kathleen Zelman MPH, RD, LD
What do you think of when you hear the term 'energy balance' -- maybe a skateboard stunt or a yoga pose? What it really means, at least in the health care community, is the art of consuming just the right number of calories to manage your weight. You're probably familiar with the balancing act of juggling career, family, friends, community, and personal needs. In weight control, the "balancing act" means taking in only as much food and drink as you need to fuel your body's basic functions, the activities of daily living, and exercise. The number of calories needed for energy balance is highly individual, and it changes from day to day depending on your activity level. Weighing in once weekly (or even more often) is the easiest method to determine whether you're in energy balance. If you take in more calories than you burn, they will likely show up as weight gained, while creating a calorie deficit sends the needle on the scale counterclockwise. Beyond Counting Calories Counting calories can be labor-intensive, and can take all the fun out of eating. So instead of fixating on calories, think food, glorious food! Choosing foods that are high in fiber, fluid, and nutrients that fill you up on fewer calories is the secret to painless calorie cutting. Fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and small portions of lean meats and nuts are the kind of foods you should be enjoying each day. Unprocessed foods (those in their natural form) are the healthiest options at the grocery store. If you enjoy eating refined, processed foods, do so in moderation to better control your calorie intake. Calories and Exercise A healthy dose of regular physical activity will boost your metabolism in two ways. Every time you move, you burn calories. Exercise also builds muscle, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you need simply to maintain your basal metabolism (the number of calories required for digestion, breathing, blood circulation, and other body processes while you're at rest). Of course, energy balance is not the only benefit of regular exercise. That list includes weight loss, stronger muscles and bones, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and a healthier heart - not to mention disease prevention and a longer life. Exercise is a critical part of weight control and good health, but the truth is that, at least for some people, it can also send your appetite into overdrive. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that exercising gives you license to scarf down cheeseburgers and donuts. The trick is to ease your hunger with satisfying foods that taste good and are low in calories. It's also a good idea to fuel up before your workout. Go for healthy, balanced snacks that include lean protein, complex carbs, fiber, and/or small amounts of fat (try whole-grain cereal with berries and low-fat milk; half a whole-grain bagel with peanut butter and banana slices; a smoothie made with low-fat yogurt, fresh fruit, and orange juice; or brown rice and steamed veggies sprinkled with a little cheese). It's also important to stay well hydrated so you won't mistake thirst for hunger. It's easy to overindulge in sports drinks and fruit juices that satisfy thirst but can add lots of extra calories. Try good old-fashioned water to quench your thirst before and after your workouts. If you don't exercise each day, eat a little more on the days you work out and less on days you are less active. Some people complain they eat more on those less active days simply because of boredom. Instead of reaching for something extra to eat, lace up your sneakers and take a walk! 7 Tips for Achieving Energy Balance Here are some more tips for striking the right energy balance:

Theon Hill is assistant professor of communication at Wheaton College. We attended university together where we served on a student council together for a year. I've always had the utmost respect for Theon–apart from being smart and articulate, he's a genuinely kind person.
So I was excited to hear that he gave a talk last night at Wheaton College entitled "Reflecting on Ferguson." I listened to it earlier today and it's the single best thing I've heard on the topic to-date. Let me encourage you to take the time to listen. Whether you see systemic racism or personal responsibility as the primary issue in play during this cultural moment; whether you trust commentary from FoxNews or MSNBC; whether you vote Democrat or Republican, you'll benefit from the talk.
Here's a brief overview:
(1) The nature and reality of systemic racism. What is it's foundation? How does it materialize in culture today?
(2) The nature of personal responsibility. What role does personal responsibility play in this discussion?
(3) What can the church do? Where do we go from here?
Theon's talk begins at 42:20 and ends at 1:19:50 (a Q&A session follows). The sound quality is poor, so headphones may help.
You can listen to the talk here.

Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Note:
I love this recipe because it is so easy to make and yet it always gets 'oohs' when people see the candies and 'aahs' when they taste them! I've gotten several z-mails asking about the candy coating. They are wafers that you melt to then dip candies into to coat them. They are usually sold in the candy section of craft or baking stores. I've seen them in the candy making section of Wal-Mart also. If you look at the ingredients photo on Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy, you'll see a photo of them. They are a different 'stiffness' than white chocolate chips but some reviews have successfully used those when they can't find the candy coating. Hope that helps!
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided

- 3 drops green food coloring
- 1In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with 1 cup milk.
- 2Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
- 3Spread half into a waxed paper-lined 8-in. square pan; (I personally prefer to line the pan with foil and grease the foil with butter) chill for 10 minutes or until firm.
- 4Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan over low heat, cook and stir candy coating with remaining milk until coating is melted and mixture is smooth.
- 5Stir in peppermint extract and food coloring.
- 6Spread over bottom layer; chill for 10 minutes or until firm.
- 7Warm remaining chocolate mixture if necessary; spread over mint layer.
- 8Chill for 2 hours or until firm.
- 9Remove from pan; cut into 1-in. squares.

Review: 'Hitchcock' Takes A Stab At 'Psycho,' But Clumsily Slips and Hurts Itself
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on November 23, 2012 | Comments (2)Biopics take on a new personality when the subject is an admired figure or, worse still, a personal hero. Alfred Hitchcock's well-deserved moniker, "The Master of Suspense," does little to fully capture the elevated place of regard he holds with cinephiles who count themselves devoted fans, which is to say cinephiles. Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock narrows the scope of the director's life to the production of arguably his greatest film: Psycho. The film covers the lifespan of Psycho from inspirational inception to the labor pains of production, and finally its glorious delivery. Some may balk at the idea of a Hitchcock biopic covering such a short period of the man's life and indeed only one movie from the intensely prolific director's canon. However, this seemingly reductive approach is actually quite fitting considering the turning point that this one film represented and the inherent metaphors that can then be extrapolated from the production experience. Psycho was one of the riskiest endeavors of Hitch's career. He was nearing the end of his professional life and wasn't commanding as much studio confidence as he once was. It was at this precarious era that he decided to make, and self-fund, a film that not only challenged the conception of Hitchcock as an artist, but indeed changed the landscape of film itself. The studio refusing to fund the movie fed his lifelong insecurity and the tricks employed to sell Psycho to audiences were a function of his overarching commitment to publicity. So yes, the choice to […]
The Top Ten Films Noir According to 'Road to Perdition' Writer Max Allan Collins
Cinematic Listology By Guest Author on May 14, 2012 | Comments (6)Editor's Note: Max Allan Collins has written over 50 novels and 17 movie tie-in books. He's also the author of the Road to Perdition graphic novel, off which the film was based. With his new Mickey Spillane collaboration "Lady, Go Die" in great bookstores everywhere, we thought it would be fun to ask him for his ten best films noir. In true noir fashion, we bit off more than we could handle… We have to begin with a definition of noir, which is tricky, because nobody agrees on one. The historical roots are in French film criticism, borrowing the term noir (black) from the black-covered paperbacks in publisher Gallimard's Serie Noire, which in 1945 began reprinting American crime writers such as Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, Chester Himes, Horace McCoy, Jim Thompson, Mickey Spillane, W.R. Burnett and many others. The films the term was first applied to were low-budget American crime thrillers made during the war and not seen in France till after it. The expressionistic lighting techniques of those films had as much to do with hiding low production values as setting mood. In publishing circles, the term has come to replace "hardboiled" because it sounds hipper and not old-fashioned. I tend to look at dark themes and expressionistic cinematography when I'm making such lists, which usually means black-and-white only; but three color films are represented below, all beyond the unofficial cut-off of the first noir cycle (Kiss Me Deadly, 1955). Mystery genre expert Otto Penzler has […]
22 Things You May Not Have Known About 'Dark Shadows' Composer Danny Elfman
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWith Dark Shadows set to hit theaters this weekend, Warners hosted a small Q&A this past Tuesday to highlight what will be composer Danny Elfman and director Tim Burton's fourteenth film together. I am notorious for getting lost on studio lots (I once accidentally wandered into a background shot during the filming of Private Practice while looking for a screening room), but I was pleased (and relieved) when I arrived and realized this event was being held outside making it easy to find (although the long line of Elfman fans flanking the venue was also a pretty clear indicator). It was a nice change of pace to be outside on a warm afternoon and seemed to put everyone in a good mood. While the Q&A was moderated, the goal of the afternoon was primarily to open the floor up to the fans and have them ask the questions. This can be a precarious opportunity when the questions are unfiltered (and sometimes cringe worthy) as anyone who has attended a Q&A can attest to. However this afternoon the questions (save for a few – no, Oingo Boingo will not be getting back together) were incredibly thoughtful and interesting. Elfman noted that doing events like this are something he gladly takes time to do as he loves interacting with fans and this was clear as he took every question seriously and gave each person his undivided attention when answering. The event was also to commemorate the release of Elfman and Burton's 25th Anniversary […]
Movie News After Dark: Three Amigos, Ender's Game, The Royal Wedding and Existential Star Wars
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 29, 2011 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column. But would you say that El Column has a plethora of news items? Yes, yes, I know it has a lot of news items. But does it have a plethora? Empire recently brought Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin back together to recreate some of the Three Amigos magic that delivered one of the most underrated comedies of the last 25 years. Even director John Landis was on-hand for the photo shoot, celebrating the quarter decade anniversary of the film. It's a personal favorite of mine, and part of my "cinematic friend litmus test." If you don't like this movie, we simply won't ever be close friends. Them's the rules.
Criterion Files #89: Sisters
Criterion Files By Adam Charles on August 18, 2010 | Be the First To CommentHitchcock's name is so deeply engraved in the suspense/thriller genre that it's almost adopted his name as a pseudonym by now. Whenever a filmmaker makes an exceptional thriller you'll commonly see at least one quote stating that it's "The best since Hitchcock's ____________." If the filmmaker gets on a streak of exceptional thrillers they're dubbed the next "Master of Suspense" (which is saying they're the next Hitchcock without saying it). The only filmmaker that works consistently in the suspense genre and has distanced himself from direct Hitchcock comparisons is Roman Polanski. Arguably, the most notable and gifted filmmaker that hasn't is Brian De Palma.

Comment on this storyJohannesburg -
A security guard appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, Johannesburg metro police said.
Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said metro police arrested the 20-year-old man after they received a tip-off that he lived in Hillbrow.
"The man allegedly raped the... girl from when she was 13. She lived in a townhouse complex with her mother," Minnaar said.
"The man worked as a security guard in the complex. The mother would let him into her... (flat) to warm his food. This happened regularly."
The case was postponed for further investigation. - Sapa

Hi all,
I went to Ink-a-licious Tattoo Studio Bradford for a tattoo. Unfortunately the studio was being refurbished. As a result they offered my 20% discount on the piercing and tattoo that I have enquired about and although I must return to them to have this done, I must say what I have seen so far is excellent and I am impressed! The staff are polite, helpful and friendly and I cannot wait for my booking.

What Health Information Technicians Do
Medical records and health information technicians, commonly referred to as health information technicians, organize and manage health information data. They ensure its quality, accuracy, accessibility, and security in both paper and electronic systems. They use various classification systems to code and categorize patient information for insurance reimbursement purposes, for databases and registries, and to maintain patients' medical and treatment histories.
Health information technicians typically do the following:
- Review patient records for timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness of data
- Organize and maintain data for clinical databases and registries
- Track patient outcomes for quality assessment
- Use classification software to assign clinical codes for reimbursement and data analysis
- Electronically record data for collection, storage, analysis, retrieval, and reporting
- Protect patients' health information for confidentiality, authorized access for treatment, and data security
All health information technicians document patients' health information, including their medical history, symptoms, examination and test results, treatments, and other information about healthcare services that are provided to patients. Their duties vary with the size of the facility in which they work.
Although health information technicians do not provide direct patient care, they work regularly with registered nurses and other healthcare professionals. They meet with these workers to clarify diagnoses or to get additional information to make sure that records are complete and accurate.
The increasing use of electronic health records (EHRs) will continue to change the job responsibilities of health information technicians. Federal legislation provides incentives for physicians' offices and hospitals to implement EHR systems into their practice. This will lead to continued adoption of this software in these facilities. Technicians will need to be familiar with, or be able to learn, EHR computer software, follow EHR security and privacy practices, and analyze electronic data to improve healthcare information as more healthcare providers and hospitals adopt EHR systems.
The median annual wage for health information technicians was $34,160 in May 2012. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $22,250, and the top 10 percent earned more than $56,200.
Most health information technicians work full time. In healthcare facilities that are always open, such as hospitals, technicians may work evening or overnight shifts.
*According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics

I have recently started my own business and the accountant from Trinity Accountants has been instrumental in guiding me through a very confusing process. Thanks to her help I am now setup as a limited company, have registered for VAT and have my payroll in place. Numbers have never been a strong point of mine so it was really helpful to work with someone who made everything easy to understand and avoided too much jargon.
The service has been great and it has allowed me to concentrate my time on developing the business, rather than worrying about things that I know nothing about.

One of the main themes of Graham Hancock's bestselling book Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind was that the emergence of painting some 40,000 years ago marked a shift in human consciousness, possibly brought about via consciousness expanding substances. Now a clam shell buried between 430,000 and 540,000 years ago with artwork etched onto it has emerged, reports New Scientist. What might this mean?
… Read the restThe artist – if she or he can be called that – was right-handed and used a shark's tooth. They had a remarkably steady hand and a strong arm. Half a million years ago, on the banks of a calm river in central Java, they scored a deep zigzag into a clam shell.
We will never know what was going on inside its maker's head, but the tidy, purposeful line (pictured above right) has opened a new window into the origins of our modern creative mind.

I love stained glass windows, and this is a particularly attractive one, with its three sections and the tree above, but I also like the little butterflies and the scenes at the bottom.
I'd been looking at the main windows in Winchester Cathedral and puzzling about there being anything in particular portrayed there, and have recently found out that all the bits were collected after it was damaged and put together again, but in a rather random order!
