The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Much of country facing bitter cold, rain, wind or snow as winter packs a punch
TORONTO - Some braced for blizzards, others dealt with precarious flash freezes, and still more faced bone-chilling temperatures — and then there were those who endured power outages dating back to earlier bitter weather.
A mixed bag of nasty conditions led Environment Canada to issue warnings for vast swaths of the country on Monday, when many headed back to work for the first time since the holiday break.
"It's almost like the total meteorological lexicon of everything miserable in terms of winter is found somewhere in Canada," said senior climatologist David Phillips.
The sheer amount of varying warnings was considered somewhat unusual even by the national weather agency that put them out.
Phillips listed some of the misery.
"From wind chill to winter storm warnings to flash freezes to freezing rain to heavy rain to strong winds; snow squalls also."
The winter wallop created extra headaches for many resuming their weekday commutes on the first Monday of 2014.
Some flights travelling into or out of Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax and St. John's, N.L., were also cancelled or delayed. And freezing rain across Eastern Canada forced nearly 800 plane passengers to be diverted to Fredericton early Monday, putting a strain on the city's airport.
"Nature's making it more difficult for us to get back to a regular normal life," said Phillips. "The timing is unfortunate."
Southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba experienced some of the most bitter cold, where communities long-used to chilly conditions were lashed by frigid gusts which prompted a series of wind chill warnings.
"We're seeing wind chills that are into the minus 50, which would freeze flesh in less than five minutes," said Phillips, who warned residents to bundle up.
Meanwhile, communities in northern and southern Ontario were warned of flash freezes, wind chills and even snow squalls in some areas.
The latest blast of winter came just a week after a wicked ice storm left hundreds of thousands without power in parts of Central and Eastern Canada.
"In Ontario we're seeing a whole plethora of weather warnings," said Phillips. "In some communities they've got four to choose from, it's like pick your poison."
Toronto and Windsor, Ont., — which were expecting wind chills from -35 C to -40 C into Tuesday — were among some communities which issued extreme cold weather alerts while urging those who were homeless to seek shelter.
It was a slightly different story in Quebec, where somewhat warmer temperatures meant Environment Canada issued rainfall and freezing rain warnings for southern parts of the province, although communities further north faced blizzard warnings.
Freezing rain left more than 24,000 Quebec customers without power on Monday afternoon, with the Mauricie region in central Quebec hit hardest.
Authorities in Ontario and Quebec urged caution on icy roads and slushy sidewalks and warned motorists to take care in communities that were expecting blowing snow and whiteout conditions.
In Atlantic Canada, freezing rain and rainfall warnings were issued for much of New Brunswick, eastern Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and parts of Newfoundland.
Those warnings added to the problems being faced by thousands in Newfoundland, who were experiencing their fourth day of power outages brought on by a combination of cold weather, a terminal station fire and a power plant that went offline.
A mass of cold Arctic air, combined with a warmer weather system that had come up from the U.S., had led to much of the recent variety of inclement conditions, said Philips.
Environment Canada warned, however, that the milder temperatures in the eastern part of the country would be short lived.
"The cold polar arctic air will now flood the eastern part of the country and will almost freeze everything instantly," he warned. "That's why we have these flash freezes. It's going to be a messy situation."
Some communities, including Toronto, Halifax, Montreal and Quebec City, were expected to see a drastic drop in temperatures by Tuesday.
Those seeking some relief from winter's wrath were urged to look forward to the weekend.
"Just wait it out," said Phillips. "By the end of this week, we'll be into a January thaw in the east and while not thawing in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, instead of having highs of -25, we'll have highs of -4."

"Loved our save the dates !! The design was beautiful & quality was excellent. All of guests LOVE them and have commented on how fun they are for a NYC wedding. Ordering and communication with the designer for minor altercations was a breeze ."
"I was really surprised at how beautiful my save the dates turned out. Better than I expected. So happy and pleased, cannot wait to send them out to everyone! I will most definitely be using WPD in the future!!"

Which mag to choose a mobile phone ?

Posted January 22, 2008 at 12:43PM
Is there a good magazine which is really a catalogue of mobiles vailable with their main features?
I'm looking to upgrade for under £60, important stuff is the PHONE part with ability to hold 1000+ contacts and sync/backup to a PC, with ability to somehow import contacts from an excel spread sheet, and ease of use for phone use. Other non phone features (camera, MP3 etc) are not important whether they exist or not.

There are quite a few: What Mobile is one, but if you go to somewhere like WHSmith you will find about 3 or 4 different mags with reviews based on pounds spent. Do remember, however that the prices given can be out of step with curent prices as the magazines are prepared well in advance.

Goat Rock is a great place to visit. Beautiful setting with quite a few good routes. Expect others as it's a great place to bring beginners because of easy access and small selection of easier routes. Beware that the Falcon Guide Rock Climbing the San Francisco Bay Area by Tresa Black seems to underrate many of the routes here. See my other comments for some of the routes. Because most of the routes are top roped, this doesn't pose a real danger but if bouldering or leading, expect the routes to be a grade or so harder than stated. If you have the time, it is definitely worth the trip to also visit Dry Creek Sea Crag. Another beautiful area with routes ranging from 5.6 and upward. |

I really liked this area. Kind of a shame that it was the last place I visited on Labor Day weekend. I was pretty burnt out by the time I got there so I was not able to fully enjoy the climbing. I will say this, great view even if you are not going to climb. |

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Get Healthy Project grant is hosting its second annual conference on mental health first aid and integrated care on Saturday, April 5, from 8 a.m. until noon. The conference will be held at the UTC University Center Signal Mountain Room and will feature speakers from Behavioral Health Integration Consulting and BlueCross Blue Shield of Tennessee.
The conference focuses on the emerging field of integrated health care or the merging of physical and behavior health. Through integrated care, those with behavioral health conditions are less stigmatized and are better cared for from both a physical and mental health perspective. Students, medical professionals and the general public are invited to register for this conference, which offers continuing education units (CEUs).
The day begins with breakfast and speaker Cheryl Holt, MA, CEO and Consultant with Behavioral Integration Consulting, LLC titled "Behavioral Health and Primary Care Integration: Improving Health Outcomes for People With Serious Mental Illness." After a short break, Ron Morton, MA, Director of Recovery and Resiliency at BlueCare and TennCare Select of Tennessee will speak on "Mental Health First Aid: Mobilizing Our Communities in a Time of Crisis." A panel discussion and opportunity for question and answer will conclude the event. Refreshments will also be served.
The conference requires pre-registration at http://www.amiando.com/ghpconference2. Professionals to administrators to frontline clinicians to mental health and primary caregiver can benefit from these informative presentations. As an added bonus, the University of Tennessee Continuing Education Department has approved the conference for 3.5 contact hours and 0.35 credit units. Please note that CEU credits cost a $10 additional fee.
The costs for the event are:
-$30 for Conference Attendees
-$20 for GHP Partners and UTC Faculty/Staff
-$5 for UTC students

The best news of the year, and possibly of the year 2021, too, is that Iran has invented a Tardis. Yes, really. Ali Razeghi's design for the "Aryayek Time Travelling Machine" has been accepted by the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions in Tehran. The fact that Razeghi, who is 27 — or at least looks it — is also the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic etc etc may have made the process easier.
Because on closer examination it turns out his machine takes a "reading" of the user and then gives a printout predicting his or her future over the next five to eight years. So it has a lot in common with the time-travelling devices we in the UK know as "horoscopes", and the "reading" it takes is probably the same for every user and consists of the Iranian equivalent of "GULLIBLE SUCKER". Rezaghi's 179 previously registered inventions presumably include futuristic gizmos such as the "crystal ball" and the "Ouija board", with which he intends to drag Iran kicking and screaming into the 19th century.
Time travel has been much on my mind this week, as it's pretty clear the whole of London has slipped through a wormhole back to the Eighties. There's Mrs Thatcher leading the news, protesters on the streets, and some weird new form of monetary social engineering that seems to hit poorer families disproportionately hard (poll tax? Bedroom tax? Tattoo tax?). Meanwhile, the unspeakable rich are still doing wheelspins in their Maseratis on the streets of Knightsbridge while snorting cocaine off the cantilevered fuselages of vice girls and tearing up £50 notes.
Theatre is skint and highly politicised, art is splashy and self-interested (Haring = Hirst). Depeche Mode are touring and Doctor Who (aha!) is on the telly. Property prices in the capital are spiralling like a giant spiral thing, so cases of mortgage fraud have doubled, as people lie about their incomes to get on the housing ladder (I desperately inflated my £8,000 salary in 1989 to buy my first flat.) I don't know if the rest of the country is stuck in this temporal loop, and that clinches it for me: I didn't know or care anything about the rest of the country in the Eighties either.
But if we are stuck in a repetitive trope, things don't look good for the next few years. There'll be yet another recession. My house will be worth exactly what I bought it for. And David Cameron will be ousted by a brutal internal coup led by his supposed friends and colleagues. Which will go to show that history does indeed repeat itself, the first time as farce, and the second time as farce with rather less convincing — and indeed, less convinced — characters.
Recipes to give a Rosie glow
Some years back, an algorithm appeared that proved we would all turn into Elvis. You remember: when the King died — allegedly! — in 1977 there were 170 Elvis impersonators in the world but by the year 2000 there were 85,000. Extrapolating from that rate of growth, everyone would be Elvis by 2043. Current research suggests that global Preslification has slowed but there's a very real danger — uh-huh-huh — that every celebrity will have shared a "healthy" recipe tip with us by 2025.
Following in the wake of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon last week, ambulant, non-speaking fantasy-droid Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has weighed in with recipes for joyless, reverse-peristalsis-style soup and smoothies on Instagram. If you know someone who actually believes that following these tips will turn them into a sex goddess, you can buy them a copy of Are You Hungry Tonight? — Elvis's Favourite Recipes on Amazon.
One celebrity foots it south of the river
One of the delights of working for a newspaper is that it gives an insight into worlds and lives you never previously imagined could exist. One such revelation came this week with a press release about a woman called Jane Sheehan, emblazoned "TV Celebrity Foot Reader to Teach in Sydenham". My first thought was: who knew there was such a thing as a foot reader? My second: at least she'll never be stuck for something to read on the Tube. My third: I wonder which celebrity feet she has read from, or to. Closer reading showed that Ms Sheehan herself was claiming the title of "celebrity" based on appearances on This Morning on ITV and Samaa TV in Dubai, not to mention Inside San Diego. I'd love to learn more about her life, and her latest book, Sole Trader, but — tireless, nay tiresome cheerleader for south London though I am — there's no way I'll go to Sydenham to do so.
Twenty years on, accentuate the positive
Forgive the descent into sentiment, but today it is 20 years since I wrote my first piece for the Evening Standard. There will now be a minute's silence for the loss of my youth, vigour and looks (see photo, above left). That article was a review of A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by the nephew of the Standard's editor. So, a baptism of fire. High points since then include the feature where I had to infiltrate various ladies' loos, the time I found myself on a property story in Essex on September 11, 2001, and the time Helen Mirren said to me: "Oh God, I can see your f***ing eyes glazing over." Twenty years, eh? You get less for murder.

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 2, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,064 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

The Bongcloud is a formidable weapon against an unprepared player. In this game, White shows the decisiveness of the Queen's pawn Bongcloud, a reversed variation of Lenny's Black repertoire.
You have far too much time on your hands
Greatest annotations I've ever read. I love the Alekhine-Tartakower comment; I'm still laughing over it! Great post; thanks!
I recently played a game in the Bongcloud. It didn't have the satisfying king march to victory, but it was a strategic victory.
Not enough exclamation points after 7. Kd3, that was the kind of move that would have players from throughout the room leaving their boards to gather around.
A mighty king indeed. As Steinitz said "the king is a fighting piece!"
The bongcloud is essentially just an accelerated endgame with a fierce attack from a centralized king before the opponent even realizes the endgame has begun.
Well played sir, well played.
Daring !
As Steinitz was quoted as saying,
"Men play the Ruy Lopez. Real men play the King's Gambit. Champions play the Bongcloud." So true!
You would have made Steinitz proud with this!
Is the Bongcloud a joke?
e4 e5 Ke2?? Nf6! Nc3 d5! and black gets an advantage.
Does it look like a joke to you?

March 2, 2015
Christmas / New Year, three months after purchase of Google Nexus 7 2012, the battery started to fail, or show signs of failing. Where with constant use, charge took two and a half hours from discharge, it was now taking over four hours, where it had lasted five days or more, it was lasting less and less, four days, a little over three days.
The supplier, a third party supplier through Amazon, did not want to know, claimed was only covered by 30 day warranty.
Note: Google Nexus 7 2012 purchased a year ago from Kyoto, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, is not showing symptoms of failing battery.
Repair Battery Life was downloaded from Google Play, installed and run.
It appeared to show some "battery cells" as in poor state, at least one had failed.
It advised run battery fix. This I did, and this was when warning bells sounded.
It required conection to wifi. Why? Why is connection to wifi required?
My one sense of security, a false one it turned out, was that it had been downloaded from Google Play.
Halfway through battery fix, it required download of a further app.
More warning bells sounding.
I downloaded Advance Battery Calibrator.
Battery now fixed, showing all clear, no suspect cells, no bad cells.
But is it fixed? I have no way of knowing as not on the usage and charge regime I was over Christmas and New Year
If a scam, then what is the scam?
- corruption of data
- theft of data
- display of adverts
- download of further software which in itself may be malware
My assumption that downloaded from Google Play, therefore ok, has proved to be wrong. Google do not check software from third parties. If known scams, then Google must block download and flag a warning a scam, which currently they are not doing.
The only way to be certain not a scam, is to release as Open Source Softwre, to enable others to check what the package is doing.
It has been run on a virtual machine, with a virtual battery. It found faults with virtual battery, which it then falsely claimed to have fixed.
It has been reported Repair Battery Life has been removed from Google Play. This is not true, it was still there a few days ago, when I downloaded and installed.
- This 'battery repair' Android app has been downloaded over 1 million times… and it's a total fraud
- [Facepalm] 'Battery Life Repair' Is Selling The Placebo Effect For $3 In The Play Store [Update: It's Gone]
- How does the App "Battery Repair" work?
It is reasonable to assume Advance Battery Calibrator is also a scam.
Tortillini verde
March 1, 2015I ate last Sunday night at Don Camilo, the service was poor, the food not good either.
As it was a convenient place to meet, a friend and I decide upon Don Camilo for lunch, even though I had warned, not good.
I decided upon tortillini verde, she a salad.
Although not the delicacy I am used to, tortillini verde was much better than tortillini espinacas last Sunday night.
The service though was still very poor. Menu came promptly, but a very long time before taking our order, even though several attempts to catch attention. Bringing the bill was equally slow.
Concierto de saxofones en el Teatro Timanfaya
March 1, 2015Cuarteto de Saxofones Iarmolo en concierto en el Teatro Timanfaya.
A midday concert at Teatro Timanfaya. Surprisingly for a concert in the middle of the day on a pleasant day, was full, or almost full.
A concert with all the same instruments, music transposed to instruments for which it was not written, tends not to work, and that was very much the case with Cuarteto de Saxofones Iarmolo.
It was like a brass band with most of the instruments missing. Indeed they would have been better playing in a bandstand out in the open air, or in Plaza Charco.
Two pieces by Astor Piazzolla, failed to capture the mood of Astor Piazzolla, worse still, murdered Astor Piazzolla and it was torture to listen to.
Contrast with Nothing Can Prepare, Steve Lawson on bass and Andy Williamson on sax.
I love the way the sax appears from the back of the church and slowly meanders to the front and the use of the acoustics of the church.
Many, many years ago, sometime late 1960s, early 1970s, I heard an amazing album, it was a saxophone recorded in Grace Cathedral, making use of echo in the cathedral. I still have it somewhere on reel-to-reel tape. Sadly I have never been able to find it on the net.
I mention this unknown album, as Believe In Peace by Steve Lawson brings back fond memories. The difference being Steve Lawson uses a bass guitar and tape loops. A pity he did not make use of a building as Gregory Paul did with The Fremont Abbey Session.
Playa Jardín y Punta Brava
February 28, 2015In contrast to a walk along Playa Jardín last weekend, when cool and cloudy, this afternoon warm and sunny.
El Rastro en el Mercado
February 28, 2015Todos los Sábados.
Every Saturday
Ground floor and top floor of Municpal Market.
Mainly junk, but you can find everything: books, clothes, antiques, jewelry, knives, watches, honey, clothes …
Most is cheap rubbish, but can find Rolex and Omega watches, old cameras.
First floor is food, mainly fruit and vegetables, including organic, but also fish and meat.
A dog in a bag whilst having lunch
Concierto de jazz en Teatro Timanfaya
February 27, 2015Excellent concert with Dusan Anastasijevich.
I am no fan of jazz, I find boring, but this was anything but boring.
A long piece, form of a sonata, improvisation. Influence of Scriven, jazz, snippets of Autumn Leaves, then variants of.
Followed by two shorter pieces. Followed by honky tonk encore.
Wonderful sounding piano played by a very talented pianist.
More's the pity only an hour as over all too soon.
Also a pity not recorded live, then mixed, mastered and uploaded to bandcamp. Could be a series of recordings, En Vivo en Teatro Timanfaya, shared 50:50 with artist and Teatro Timanfaya.
Almuerzo en El Limón
February 27, 2015- sopa de calabaza
- parrillada
Pumkin soup, followed by stir fried vegetables cooked on a hot plate.
Both were excellent.
V for Varoufakis
February 26, 2015
German newspaper Bild smeared Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, comparing with Vladimir Putin, and claimed posed the same threat to Europe.
Talking to people in an international setting, there is widespread support for Greece, there is no support for EU/Germany, even from Germans.
Germany has huge budget surplus, but at what cost, decaying infrastructure, collapsing bridges?
Last weekend there was massive demonstrations in Athens, across Europe, in London, for Greece.
- EU bullying of Greece
- Greece's fate: In Angela Merkel's hands?
- Greece's Varoufakis says EU deal a 'fig leaf'
Muchas gracias Annie.

This is a game that I made quite a while ago now which has been fairly popular.
It is a beat em up, with a variety of weapons and characters. Each character has their own special move. It is quite difficult, so I am expecting a lot of complaints about that.
If it runs slowly, click 'Quality' to reduce the quality and therefore speed it up. You can also switch of the blood and shaking in the options menu.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game is great! Good job on everything in it! This is definetly front page material, so I'm sure we will be seeing it there soon. If you leave it running, it even has a demo mode!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
verry entertaining
verry good fighter but i recomm to make ppl be able to change controls or just change em to j k and l ....... t-y-u hurts ur arm :|
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
bloody hell o_O
That game was so good it was evil! Although the graphics weren't amasing the planning for the fighting system and programming involved is bloody impressive! This had me hooked for over an hour, and it takes some bloody good programming to be able to do that! Congratulations on being the first flash game to seriously eat up my time @_@
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Sweetness to the ma!!
oh your graphics were really great and so was the scripting. Nice jobe with everything overall!! I thought the controls were a little odd but it worked out in the end. Good going!! hope to see more with the cool weapons too.
