Grizzly Gulch Western Extravaganza is a voice output game program designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. The game presents a virtual world set in the Old West and created purely from sound imagery. The player invents a character, which develops in an interactive evolving story line as the player meets and interacts with many crazy characters while exploring the town of Grizzly Gulch. The player can settle into the saloon to play a game of chance, fight outlaws in blazing arcade-style gun battles, or earn a living in the hotel by whacking rats. Game features include a four key control interface, stereo sound, original music, over 1,000 digitally recorded sound effects and dialog lines, a choice of two difficulty levels, and complete audio help that can be accessed at any time. There is a town bank where the player can deposit and withdraw money, or take out a loan if necessary. Money can also be won at four different casino games in the saloon, including blackjack (Double Down, Split, and Insurance), poker, a slot machine, and a shell game. Items can be purchased in the General Store. Players receive bounty mission assignments in the Marshall's office, track the outlaws to their hideouts, fight it out to bring them in, and lock the captured outlaws in jail. Players can practice shooting skills by picking off flying bottles at the target range, then put their gunfighting ability to the test foiling bank robberies, fighting off ambushes, and bringing the outlaws and their gangs to justice in blazing gun battles. There are also plot twists such as surprise rattlesnake attacks while traveling through the desert. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Pentium 60 processor; Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP operating system; 16 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM); CD-ROM drive; 190 MB hard drive space; DirectX 6.1 or above (included); DirectX compatible stereo sound card; speakers (headphones recommended).

Saturday's trip to the Echelon Mall happened to coincide with some terrible weather: the entire drive down was rainy and windy, and it took over two hours to get there. But as I drove toward the Eche, the clouds parted and the sun shone briefly yet benevolently upon its nifty new grand entranceway. Before going into the mall, I stopped by my friend's apartment across the street to gather up the crew so we could descend upon the Eche en masse, all nine of us. Let it not be said that I have not done my part to support Echelon's...erm, make that Voorhees Town Center's, revival (though not all the signage has been converted yet).
Due to the storm, the mall was being powered by a generator, which caused the lights to flicker occasionally (and added to the charm). Fortified by a meal of Boardwalk Fries from the food court, we were able to explore the scene. There were still lots of empty stores, but we did find signs of revitalization: the renovated floors and especially the new ceiling lamps looked good, and there is even a new Hallmark Store getting ready to open next month! The highlight of the trip was definitely the candy department at Boscov's department store. Purchases included choc-marshmallow fudge, choc-Amaretto fudge, and choc-covered pretzels. Vive la Eche!

They show up every Sunday like penitent churchgoers bearing guilt, regret, or worry, seeking the release of confessing before a presence they cannot see.
They are not churchgoers. They are postcards sent anonymously to a man named Frank Warren. He gets them by the thousands. Every Sunday, he presents those he finds most compelling on his website, PostSecret.com.
The cards are usually artfully designed with a photo or a drawing. The wording, often cut and pasted like a ransom note, is sometimes just as blunt and urgent. A few of the revelations are hopeful and grateful. Some are wry and funny. Most are dark. Since the site went up in 2005, it has drawn more than 250 million visits.
Warren, who doesn't attend church, nonetheless posts only on Sundays, a day he says is appropriate for "reflection and gravity." For ministers, that choice of day can seem a direct challenge. As worshipers gather in churches each Sunday, others log on to Warren's cyber venue to read iconic cards shining against a black background like stained-glass windows. Some visitors want to see if their secret is one of the 20 or so featured. Others seek a comforting echo of their own troubles.
PostSecret's popularity isn't limited to the weekly postings. The site sells books of secrets, too. The latest, PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God, goes on sale in October. When Warren visits college campuses — he filled Duke's Page Auditorium last spring — students turn out to hear him speak about the healing power of sharing what one has long withheld.
For ministers it can seem that Warren and other social media not only dominate the Sabbath, but threaten to usurp one of the church's traditional functions. Thousands of people, most of them young, are disclosing their fears, worries, and sins to a website instead of their pastors.
In an interview, Warren insists that no competition is intended. He says PostSecret is more of an artistic expression than a religious one.
"I don't try to connect PostSecret with religious belief, but many of the secrets I receive do have a spiritual nature," he says. "I like to think of the project as art."

I have just bought a 2005 Fiesta 1.4 TDCi and have a fuel leak.
The DVLA site mentions there was a recall of Fiestas at this time.
Could anyone tell an ignorant woman if my car may have been one of those affected and if it is still possible to qualify for a repair please.

Hampton Bays Union Free School District violated its own policies when the district did not seek competitive proposals for five contracts totaling $154,798, according to an audit released today by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. In one instance, the district did not seek competitive bids as required by General Municipal Law.
"Seeking the best price for goods and services ensures that taxpayers are not paying more than they should," DiNapoli said. "Hampton Bays School District failed to comply with its own school board's policies by not seeking competitive proposals and may have paid too much."
Auditors found the district did not adhere to a board policy requiring a request-for-proposal process when awarding professional service contracts. The contracts included:
In addition, auditors discovered the district paid $47,630 to a computer vendor without publicly advertising for bids. General Municipal Law requires public advertisement for contracts for materials, equipment and supplies that cost more than $10,000 in one calendar year.
The audit also found:
The audit recommends that the board only approve contracts for professional services after proposals are solicited in accordance with the board's policy. The district generally agreed with the audit's findings and the district's full response is included in the audit.
School District Accountability In order to improve accountability of the state's schools, State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli's office will audit all of New York's 832 school districts, Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) and charters schools by 2010. The State Comptroller's office has completed more than 260 school audits and approximately 240 audits are currently underway.

The parties intend to create a common parliamentary group, a common secretary general and a common delegation after the first round of local elections on June 1st.

How can i have it, when its not avaible on steam?
"'Religious faith. Belief in daemons, belief in spirits, belief in an afterlife and all the other trappings of a preternatural existence, simply existed to make us all more comfortable and content in the face of a measureless cosmos. They were sops, bolsters for the soul, crutches for the intellect, prayers and lucky charms to help us through the darkness. But we have witnessed the cosmos now, my friends. We have passed amongst it. We have learned and understood the fabric of reality. We have seen the stars from behind, and found they have no clockwork mechanisms, no golden chariots carrying them abroad. We have realized there is no need for god, or any gods, and by extension no use any longer for daemons or devils or spirits."

AI will not build these units as they are activated by a decision that only human player can make (if I read the files correctly).
Nice, both of DD and PI.
Perhaps a graphical DLC next? I figure just something a bit extra than DD's current free stuff, so that one can pay for the work in some way.

Do they use the advanced sprites at least? (ie the ones sold in packages from gamergate)

According to a recent Gartner Survey, IT departments have listed BYOD (bring your own device) as one of, if not the top security concern they face today. The benefits of BYOD are many and so IT departments have had to look for ways to make BYOD more secure instead of getting rid of it altogether.
One of the first steps in making BYOD more secure is designing and implementing an effective and secure BYOD policy. But how do I write a BYOD policy? And once it's written, how exactly do I implement said BYOD policy? In this blog post, we will discuss the three key steps to designing an effective and secure BYOD policy as well as the three key steps to implementing that BYOD policy.
3 Key Steps to Designing a BYOD policy
Clearly articulate your goals for creating a BYOD policy – What do you hope the BYOD policy will accomplish?
- Write easy to understand rules for your employees to follow – What devices can employees use? What programs are acceptable for employees to use? What security settings need to be in place? This step requires research on your behalf, figuring out exactly what devices and programs you want to allow your employees to use with your data and/or on your network
- Explain the risks involved with disregarding the rules of the BYOD policy, as well as what the outcome for those employees who refuse to follow the BYOD policy are – When your employees have a better understanding of BYOD risks, as well as the potential consequences for them not following a BYOD policy, they will be more likely to follow it.
3 Key Steps to Implementing a BYOD policy
- Make the BYOD policy required reading – All of your employees should read your BYOD policy and understand what is in it. Make the BYOD policy readily available and required reading by requiring that your employees either sign an agreement to follow the BYOD policy, or at the very least, sign a document that says they have read and understand your BYOD policy.
- Enforce the BYOD policy – Just writing a policy isn't enough. Make sure that you are monitoring where your business' data and files are being stored and moved to and take action against those who do not value the security.
- Prepare an employee exit strategy – With BYOD, employees who leave your company no longer need return company-issued equipment and may still have access to sensitive material. Consider making all of your data only accessible through company emails that can be disabled once an employee leaves.
The importance of writing and implementing a BYOD policy for your business cannot be underestimated in this increasingly mobile workforce. Finding secure and useful programs you can trust is also incredibly important. For more information on tools and programs you can trust and include in your BYOD policy, visit TappIn.com.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Other Events, Financial Statements and Exh
On February 11, 2014, GenVec, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth"), pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time up to $10,000,000 of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), through Roth (the "Offering").
Sales of Shares in the Offering, if any, may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation directly on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or any other existing trading market for the Shares or through a market maker, or, if agreed by the Company and Roth, by any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to in negotiated transactions. The Offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-193511). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Shares, if any, for operating costs, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company, the Shares and the Offering in the Agreement and also agreed to indemnify Roth against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will pay Roth a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sales of the Shares. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Roth for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the Offering, up to an aggregate of $30,000. A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the descriptions of the material terms of the Agreement in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The legal opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
On February 11, 2014, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, or Novartis, informed the Company that the third milestone under the Research Collaboration and License Agreement between the Company and Novartis for the development of treatments for hearing and balance disorders had been achieved. In January 2014, Novartis filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the clinical development of CGF166, the lead product candidate under the collaboration. The IND was deemed effective on February 7, 2014, and this triggered a $2 million milestone payment to the Company under the terms of the collaboration. If achieved, the next milestone payment to the Company under the collaboration would be triggered by the first patient visit in the planned Phase 1 clinical trial of CGF166.
(d) Exhibits.
Exhibit No. Description 1.1 Equity Distribution Agreement, dated February 11, 2014, between the Company and Roth. 5.1 Opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP. 23.1 Consent of Hogan Lovells US LLP (included in Exhibit 5.1). |

How Stars united to fuel playoff chase
April, 15, 2013
Craig Custance | ESPN Insider
Glenn James/NHLI/Getty ImagesEric Nystrom and the Stars have resurrected their playoff hopes.
Two games could have defined the Dallas Stars' season. With the front office still in decision mode on how to approach the trade deadline and what to do with Derek Roy and Jaromir Jagr, the Stars played the Anaheim Ducks on April 1. With a strong showing, maybe there would have been motivation to keep one or both. They lost 4-0. They traded Roy and Jagr the next day.

Christmas with the Kids
- |
- Friday, 07 December 2012 09:37
- Written by Megan Peckford
Share the whimsy of the holidays with these magical family-friendly events this December in Ottawa.
National Arts Centre presents the Alberta Ballet's classic interpretation of the Tchaikovsky favourite until December 9. This big-budget fantasy will pull you in as you follow little Clara to the Sugar Plum Fairy's dream world. Meanwhile, Ballet Jörgen showcases their rendition with a Canadian twist: the show features the Group of Seven's famous artwork as a backdrop. The familiar story takes you on a journey with iconic Canadian influences and visits from lumberjacks and Mounties, playing at Centerpointe Theatre on December 15 and the Shenkman Arts Centre on December 17 and 18. And arriving just in time for Christmas is a show for the littlest ones as Treehouse favourites, Max and Ruby, take to the stage. Through dance and some bunny hijinks, they bring the Nutcracker Suite to life at Centerpointe Theatre December 18.
There are three ways to see The Nutcracker in Ottawa this season. TheFor a more interactive take on a Christmas activity, visit the Diefenbunker for "How the Grinch Spied on Christmas." Located a half-hour's drive west of downtown Ottawa, this once-secret bunker was built during the Cold War to protect the government from nuclear attack. It's now a museum. There is no better place to learn about the spy of all Christmas spies, the Grinch! On December 15 and 16 from 1-3 p.m. take part in storytime and learn spy skills. This great activity is included in the price of admission and will be followed by cookies and hot chocolate.

We're a middle class family living in a northern suburb of Milwaukee county
My wife is an RN who works with kids, I'm a professional insurance agent specializing in health insurance for seniors
Two daughters in their 20's, one in a grad prg for fine arts, the other does photo for a living
We were so fortunate to acquire this log home in Star Lake, Wisconsin right after it was completed in 1997. We love Star Lake and the land and people around it
Star Lake is in the Sayner-Star Lake recreation area, ( zoned for recreation and preservation ), located in the Wisconsin Highland forest, in Vilas county.
It's 20 min drive from Eagle River WI., 30 min from Minocqua, WI, 4.5 hrs from Milwaukee, 5 hours from Madison, WI
It's also 30 min drive from Michigan's upper peninsula. In 90 min you can be on the shore of Lake Superior
The town would be called a hamlet in Europe. There is one business, the Star Lake general store, built in 1938 Ice cream, bait, boat rentals, some groceries, fishing licenses, wine, conversation and more, all available
The other businesses are two great places to eat, Stillwaters, ( northwoods family friendly bar/restaurant ), and North Star Lodge, ( prob. the best restaurant in the county ).
Star Lake is within 20 min of 5 other lakes, some uninhabited, most are great fishing. The Star Lake store keeps boats on several lakes
The house is built of 300 yr old hemlock pines,( felled by a tornado in 1988 ), the only old growth trees left after the early 20th century logging
The Retreat owns two private acres of terraced lawns and woods, on a ridge overlooking the 1200 acre Star lake
The house is amazing. The logs are huge, cedar tone, hand stripped and end in the Scandenavian angular cut. It's a three level mix of ancient rock for the base and fireplace, primal wood for the walls and beautiful European style craftsmanship throughout. Visit it on face book as Star Lake Retreat

This year's exhibition will be chosen by jurors John Spiak, curator, Arizona State University Art Museum, and Phil Alexandre of Alexandre Gallery, New York.
Again this year, artists are also competing for cash prizes totaling more than $4,000. These include the $1,000 Memorial Art Gallery Award, selected by the jurors, and the $500 Harris Popular Vote award, voted by visitors to the show.

Twigs & Trees with Rhonda: Don't Forget the
Many of the roads that our earliest ancestors relied on, for instance, were a direct result of the historical actions taking place at the time. For instance, Braddock's Road was a result of a military action to move the English to Fort Duquesne (what would become Pittsburgh). This road would then play a part in migration further inward from the eastern seaboard of Pennsylvania. |
What Enticed Your Ancestor?
Those who have family in the western states in the later 19th century will want to consider that the family was lured west by the thoughts of a big gold strike. Those who can trace back to an Irish immigrant may find that they have a Potato Famine ancestor.
Our ancestors have lived through wars, hysterias, famines, persecutions and more. As you research your ancestors, it is important that you keep the history of the local area and the country as a whole in mind.
Now We're Interested
But how can you find this history? Let's face it, many of us slept through history class while in high school. And I can't help thinking that those history teachers are getting a good laugh over our now relying on history in so many forms with this genealogical obsession we now feed.
One of the best ways to find out what was taking place is to look at the many histories that were published in the later 1800s. There are a number of published volumes on the town, county and state level that include information about the founding of an area. The chapters hold stories of towns being founded. As you read on you see a town growing from infancy to adulthood, and sometimes perishing just as the ancestors we are chasing did. What an experience that must have been. Some daring groups of people willing to head out into the unknown and begin anew.
Finding History
Many of these published volumes can be found at your local genealogy library. The older ones may be available on microfilm from the Family History Library through your local Family History Center.
The one downside to many of these histories is the lack of indexes. But that is often the best way to find the special tidbits. As you are scanning the pages, your eyes will alight on an interesting story and you are transported back to a different time and place.
As you are compiling your family history remember how you felt as you read through the histories. Bring that to life for your descendants and cousins by including insight into what was going on as your ancestors were trying to live their day-to-day lives.

How to report suspected child abuse in Siem Reap
It's difficult to imagine what a child sex abuser might look like, but if you have suspicions about someone, knowing what to do when you're in a foreign country, one that to many appears essentially lawless, can be difficult. Fortunately, Cambodia is not lawless, and there are agencies that can help anyone who has suspicions. … read the full post

Seasonal Chef: To juice or not to juice? That is the question.
Posted By Maria Reina On January 9, 2013 @ 12:41 pm In Features,Recipes,Seasonal Chef | No Comments
The holidays are behind us now and everyone is making their New Years resolutions. Truth be told, I generally never make a bold statement of resolution. I pretty much feel that you should be resolving every day of your life to do better, live well and be happy. I have a little quote on my Facebook page that I saw many years ago that says "Life is not measure in the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." Living each day to the fullest and as healthy as possible is pretty key to my happiness.
Last week there was an article in the paper by Linda Lombrosco titled Jump-start January with juicing. [1] I have been thinking about buying a juicer for a few months and reading the article gave me the final nudge I needed. After a little research on machines and consulting with my juicing-goddess friend Sandi Benz in California, I had a plan. Armed with my 20% off coupon I headed to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up the Breville.
First let me say that the footprint of this model is on the larger size. So unless you have space on your counter be prepared to pull it in and out of the cabinet or closet. After a little countertop reorganizing I said adios to my molcajete and sent it packing to the pantry.
There are basically six removable pieces to the machine, seven if you count the little brush. By the looks of it you would think it to take a long time to clean, but it comes apart in a snap and cleans up in less than 5 minutes.
The first thing you notice when you juice is all the pulp left behind in the grey container. The chef in me was thinking "what a shame to throw that out." Apparently not the case. That can be used to flavor stocks and sauces – but more research on my part will be needed for that! What you do get is a clean crisp and delicious juice, filled with tons of vitamins and nutrients.
So what is the downside? [6] Sadly, there some in life! Aside from the fiber that is left behind, you could experience a spike in your glucose level. What is coming out of the juicer is natural, but sugar non-the-less. Common sense would tell me that my body needs a compliment of both vitamins, nutrients and fiber. Let's face it, fiber is what "moves" the toxins out of our body.
So where does that leave me and my new juicer? The creativity of it all knows no bounds in my mind. In just the few days of having it I've made 4 different concoctions that both Larry and I really enjoyed. Topping the list was a juice made with 1 starfruit, 2 granny smith apples and a couple of slivers of lemon. It was bright, tangy and sweet.
My second favorite, was a little surprising: a pear and parsnip combo. That was actually in the booklet that came with the machine. I love pear juice and the parsnip added a very interesting dimension to the flavor.
One last important bit of information I read on numerous health sites including the Mayo Clinic [11], was to take care to drink your creations pretty quickly, or at the very least within 24 hours. Light and air will immediately begin to affect the quality of the juice and potentially harmful bacteria will follow. No sense in getting sick when you are trying to be healthy, right? That said, I have the perfect container for my juice, and to remind me of our girl living so far away! Yes, it will be in the 'fridge, but probably never more than 8 hours. My goal is to juice at night so we have something fresh to drink in the morning.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on juicing and if you have any special recipes for me to try. Below is one that was sent to me by former Small Bites blogger JL Fields [12]. It's bright, zippy and herbaceous.
Buon Appetito!

Jason Deuro is a new local artist to keep your eye on. He creates one of a kind, specialty art lamps out of any number of objects you can imagine; bring him your favorite action figure or a coveted family heirloom and he'll make it glow. His focus isn't initially on the design, but on where the parts come from, the importance of salvage and the idea that anything can be preserved in a new way. He calls his venture Salvation Lamps.
BR: You're in your thirties and just started making Salvation Lamps, what started it all?
JD: It started about a year and a half ago, from doing some internet searches looking for Steampunk-related art and I saw that an artist had made a Steampunk-inspired lamp. I thought I could make one better, and try to do it myself.
BR: Do you notice a difference in customer base between people who buy functional art as opposed to purely aesthetic art? And do they purchase more often?
JD: I don't know if people tend to buy more functional art, but I know I like functional art better. I like art that has a usefulness. I like that you could have a lamp or clock that has dual purpose, that you could take it from place to place and interact with it regularly. It seems like more of a possession that's close to you.
BR: How many have you made so far?
JD: Probably in the range of thirty to thirty-five. I think most were intended to fill gifts for friends or family at Christmas time.
BR: Do you wish friends and family were less of your customer base?
JD: It wasn't a business when I was making lamps as gifts. I had made the first lamp, knew that I could do it, and that I could use those lamps to fill in for something I had to buy anyway. When I started getting feedback, I knew that I was stumbling onto Salvation Lamps.
BR: How has the community helped you?
JD: By providing a bunch of resources that, if I didn't have, I wouldn't be able to make these. Especially the Salvation Army, Am-Vets and friends or family that know this is what I'm doing. Everybody seems to have an old lamp in their attic with a busted shade that they can't use anymore, but didn't want to throw out. I have a good eye for a lamp on a curb on trash day.
BR: So you look forward to the annual garage sale weekend every year?
JD: That's kind of how this came together. I loved garage sales and antiques and the whole idea of salvage combined with the desire to find purpose for discarded items that seemingly no longer had any purpose. The interest in making the Steampunk lamp is what actually led me to where I am now.
BR: Can I bring you any sort of part and you'll make me a lamp?
JD: If you had an object that you wanted to turn into a functional piece of art, or incorporate into your surroundings, sure. It can start as interest or an object. One of the goal lamps I made was fabricated from hockey pucks. Someone that I work with, her husband had used those pucks and they were from his collection. Other ideas and projects I've been commissioned for, were to find an object and build a lamp around the aesthetic of a space.
BR: Do you find the never-ending range of mediums challenging?
JD: That's what makes it fun. I like the fact that I'm not pigeonholed. I don't want to make lamps that are just antique or sports related, glass or metal. I always look forward to the next challenge where I'll use something that I've never used before.
BR: Would it be fair to say that a stranger with an object that wants to commission a lamp from you should also bring in a snapshot of the space?
JD: Absolutely. Then that's really two challenges, sounds fun.
BR: If you were to open a storefront in Buffalo, where would it be?
JD: If I was to open a storefront and choose an area to do that in, I would like it to be a place where anybody could come to. I wouldn't want to be in a place known particularly for antiques or high-end merchandise. I want the whole range of customers, from a man who likes hockey to someone looking for a really particular vintage piece, or some kids with the newest style in mind.
BR: You grew up in Niagara Falls then migrated south, to Buffalo. Do you find the Western New York area to be inspirational?
JD: Definitely. I was just at the Burchfield Penney and I was reminded of the Roycroft, Arts & Crafts movement and Frank Lloyd Wright scene. People around the country know that architecture, crafts and furniture have deep roots in the Western New York area. Every time I delve into the history of arts here, I learn something I didn't know before.
BR: You were surrounded by other well known creatives growing up – like Rob Lynch – was there a general spirit of creativity surrounding you all as children?
JD: Yes. Personally, I can think of other art projects that were like this that I did when I was younger. I re-made guitars because I loved music. I would take an old guitar and nail bottle caps to it and paint it. I've always dabbled.
BR: So do you play?
JD: I do, I play bass.
BR: In…?
JD: The bedroom, the basement, the garage! I'm not in a band anymore. Also, I was the manager of the Niagara Falls Media Play and I define myself as one of the people you would want to have on your team in a music trivia contest.
BR: What venue would you take me to see a show and what band would we see?
JD: I think I would take you to Mohawk Place, maybe Soundlab, to see Lindsey & Jack Topht. They always entertain me when I get a chance to see them play.

Padlocked backyard?
My neighbors around keep their backyards open.Gates are not locked during days and nights.I started to think about installing padlocks and keep my backyard gates closed after i found few days ago missing 5 plants,two of them potted.
I would feel so uneasy doing this.I wonder how can i protect my plants and my backyard in different way.Any sugestions?
Thanks I would appreciate any responce.
My backyard is kept locked at all times (now). I live in downtown Montreal though and most of the places around me do the same.
What height are the fences in your area? Do they open onto an alley of other common space?
In my neighbourhood break-ins are a problem, so I added 6.5' high wooden privacy trellis to the inside of my fence (the fence is 5' high chain link. It looks much nicer and it provides a place for some climbing plants to reach for the sky.
You could install even the thinnest trellis for plants to climb on and it will provide quite a psychological barrier to people. Anyone entering will obviously be breaking the trellis or climbing over the fence and so they'll choose an easier target - one less likely to draw the attention of people when they enter. Since I put mine up ten years ago, we haven't had a problem with people entering our yard once. My next door neighbour has the same chain link fences as me but without the trellis and he's had several break ins and has frequent problems with kids and strangers entering his back area. None of the neighbours have complained about my trellis - quite the opposite actually. I frequently get comments on how nice it looks with all the plants - it seems to 'fit' and nobody thinks I'm trying to wall them out. It does help that I'm friendly with the neighbours and chat or share seeds and tomatoes :-)
If I were you I would lock your gate or otherwise make it difficult to enter and just explain to the neighbours that you've been having problems with theft - they'll understand (unless they're the thief, then you don't care what they think!).
Hi Bonniepunch.
I have chain link fence 4' high. It is easy to climb over. so keeping locked will not help to much. Thanks for suggestions.
I will have a serious talk with my husband and we will do a better protection.I appreciate your reply very much.
Use a motion activated light and a motion activated sprinkler. These aren't too expensive. The light will activate at night if anyone walks into the area. the sprinkler will also activate when it senses movement.
Also since you have a chain link fence, I would suggest getting better privacy fencing. You can probably do this in economical ways - like attaching screening materials to the fence, such as a bamboo screening. Explore your garden centres/hardware stores for anything on sale now. I would also suggest planting things that are thorny alongside of the fence. May I suggest a Rosa New Dawn - a beautiful climbing rose - if the area is suitable for this plant. Most certainly, if you have woody vines alongside the fences, it would help to deter anyone from climbing over. You will still need additional deterrants by planting low prickly groundcovers like barberries.
As for the access to your backyard, can you describe your gate? Colour, height, make?
Hi Ianna.
Thanks for your reply.
A motion activated light i already have.I never heard about motion activated sprinkler.Will do some search,this seems to be good.
The gate is a simple chain link 4'high which i got with a 4' high chain link fence,It is easy access to my backyard.Since i have learned from you that you are not allowed to lock a gate i have to check if i am allowed to lock my gate,then accordingly plan any backyard protection.
Thank you for your suggestions and friendly response.
Hala - Here's a pic of what I've done. That trellis at the end is just wired to the chain link fence. It could be done much more attractively (lightweight framing like I have on the trellis on the left would look much better), but cost was an issue so I had to cut corners :-) Each 4'x8' piece of trellis cost me ~ $20. I cut them to 6.5 feet high - that gave me plenty of privacy without looking too tall. Even 6' tall trellis would give you privacy and provide enough of an obstacle that most people would go elsewhere.
Bonniepunch, It is fantastic.I must talk to my husband and persuade him that we need that.My husband have only a little needs related to aesthetics and i must cope with it all the time.So it will not be easy for me to make a nice change.Thank you very much for the idea and the picture showing your elegant place.
With appreciation,
I don't know if you have an XS Cargo store near you or not but the one here currently has some driveway alarms for about $15. It consists of a transmitter, like on a sensor floodlight, runs on batteries, and a doorbell type box you keep in the house.. Anyone walks by it rings the bell in your house...You can use them for various applicantions.. like on your front porch so you know if someones come up the stairs and not rang the door bell etc.
Wow, this discussion reminds me (again) how lucky we are here on rural Vancouver Island. I worked in cities too long and so lock my house doors automatically. However, I often leave the garage open and only shut the main gate at night to keep deer out. No locks on anything but the house. My Dad never locks his door and he has never had a problem. My sister generally leaves her place unlocked unless they are going on vacation. Probably can't last forever but this type of problem is rare here.
I wish it were that way for everyone.
