"I still haven't read why people dislike Ro bFord other than his antics."
Here's one: He wanted an expanded subway to Scarborough despite the fact that there weren't going to be enough commuters to make it profitable and he refused to countenance any fees or taxes to pay for it.
Of course everyone wishes to have everything for free...
Peterbot, you're definitely a Québec's partisan and I respect that. But I beg to differ; I really don't know where the fact that "Toronto has long been known as one of the world's ugliest, most unliveable city" comes from. I've never EVER heard that in my life. Au contraire, I've only heard good things about that city. Having spent a year there as an exchange student, I can say you're wrong in many points. Sure enough, Ford did not do a good job, and many people hate him and blame him for many things - I can see why - but Toronto is a beautiful city, there are relatively few homeless people, crime is low... Come live in Paris, France, where I was born, raised, and where I still live, and you'll see that you can't say that Toronto is unliveable.
First, the small point. There were five, not six, surrounding municipalities (Etobicoke, York, North York, East York, Scarborough). But the point about the battles with the suburbs, pro-car, versus the inner city, pro-alternatives to the car, is totally valid.
Toronto is not at any risk of losing its status as Canada's leading city. Calgary would love to take the title, but that won't happen any time soon. Vancouver couldn't care less; it's a Pacific Rim city which happens to be politically part of Canada. The only possible candidate is Montreal, which led from about 1800 until the 1970s when Toronto overtook it. But Montreal has its own problems, and it lost its own mayor a few days before Toronto did.
Goddam, TE's also picked up Ford's antics?! Now everyone will know what nonsense we're dealing with. As a longtime Toronto resident, his childish, petulant, fat man behaviour has been terribly embarrassing. But please go easy on our infrastructure issues - it's not as terrible as you make it out to be. Toronto's not as divided as Florida (overrated) et. al paint it. Ford has universal disapproval now, or something like 80%. Yes, suburban/downtown conflicts are evident but Ford Nation does not capture this; that little project is dead.
"Rough around the edges" He testified in court that if he doesn't understand a law it does not apply to him. Is this how he expects the citizens of Toronto to act as well?
Well said, Larry. The Ford Nation lovers have their own filters. Ford is someone who feels the rules do not apply to him. Typical of many politicians who took on the role simply for self-empowerment and advancement. But he is is representative of the worst of them.
The right wing can't give up this years-old story of these married councillors (Jack Layton and Olivia Chow) living in Co-op housing. They either don't understand or choose to ignore the fact that co-op housing in Toronto is meant to be mixed-income and that the tenants who are subsidised are done so by the others who pay full rent, rather than being government subsidised. Co-op housing can't work without the people who pay full rent yet this "accusation" of wrongdoing is trotted out time after time.
But...he wasn't a clean mayor. Did you read the article?
I lived/worked in Sydney, London, Vienna, San Fran and Toronto and I've also had the chance to visit many "real" world class cities such as Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Boston on several occasions. I now reside in Brussels.
I can claim that Toronto compared to the aforementioned cities is nothing but a dump! People (Torontonians) claiming Toronto to be a world class city, and yet the only "attractions" in town are the SkyDome stadium and the CN tower,… live in Lalaland. If you go for a walk along the side streets, east and west of Yonge St., all you see is trashy/grim areas! Public transport is dismal …a real shame! And if you have a car it takes forever to drive anywhere! In terms of things to do (quality of life)…let me just point out that comparing Toronto to cities like London, Vienna, Tokyo, San Fran is like comparing Timbuktu to Barcelona and yet Torontonians idiotically brag about how great Toronto is! Toronto = dump!
The Canadian medical system isn't perfect. But to say it's the reason Canadian cities face budget crunches is just ignorant. I can only assume from your apparent brainwashing on the matter that you're a member of the American right, so my response is:
1) American cities face similar, if not worse, budget problems.
2) America's health care system is utterly inefficient. It consumes 16% of GDP, compared to Canada's 10%, and provides middling overall results, 78.2 year life expectancy compared to Canada's 80.8. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if medical care is public or private, but it should at least be reasonably efficient.
3) It's not just inefficiency in America's private medical system. The US government alone spends more per capita on health care than Canada does. In fact more than almost every country does, see http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-03-12/politics/31146733_1_healt..., but again, achieves inferior results overall. America hasn't chosen to have private healthcare over public healthcare, it has chosen to have both.
4) I don't know about the Canadian government, but the US federal government spends 23% of its budget on Medicaid and "health". See http://www.truthfulpolitics.com/http:/truthfulpolitics.com/comments/how-... . To me, 25% of the government budget on healthcare sounds about right.
I'll miss Rob Ford. As a Quebecer, he was the only one who made me realize that the grass isn't always greener in neighbouring Ontario. Now I won't be able to retort to my Ontarian relatives at Christmas time if they clammer about corruption and pork. So sad!
Settign some facts straight
"They face longer journey times than commuters in car-obsessed Los Angeles."
That was from 2010. The following study is from 2012. Shows Toronto 5th and Los Angeles 1st. If you dig into the details of most congested days, they coorelate to snowstorm days for Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal.
"St Andrew subway station in the city centre and Toronto's problems are evident."
You picked the station where they are testing the endurance / maintenance on LED lighting. This means ceiling panels are removed to help with the frequent access to the lights.
"Toronto's (waterfront) is hidden by a wall of apartment towers"
The same condo towers that will propel the City of Toronto past the City of Chicago in population by 2016. The same condo towers that have made walking the fastest growing form of commuting to downtown. And about that waterfront... almost the entire coast of Toronto is parkland. Great for residents, not so obvious to downtown tourists.
Ford bears a remarkable resemblance to Rush Limbaugh, both physically and in temperament. He's behaved exactly as I imagine Rush would act if he were elected mayor of a city. Twins separated at birth?
I have to disagree. I've moved back to TO recently after 10 years away, and the city is a lot more slick and less rundown than when I left. Areas that were considered throwaway a decade ago are now yuppie havens. Transit is still a mess, but that has more to do with overcrowding than anything else.
Interesting that you compare it to Chicago, a place where the crime rate has skyrocketed in the last 15 years, and where subsidized housing dominates huge swaths of neighborhoods. I dunno, I still think Toronto is a safer and more efficient city than Chi town, though the latter is a lot more fun.
The mayor says hundreds of things on his radio show that are not true, but since it is talk radio he does not have to pay regard to facts.
The item is not trivial at all as the final number represents the end of a saga that began almost 3 years ago, involved several citizen complaints (upheld) many warnings and interventions, use of city staff for personal means, promotion of the foundation as part of his mayoralty campaign, and then speaking on + voting on a motion that he had a direct financial interest in, even though he was warned by friends and official not to do so. This man believes that the law does not apply to him and does not deserve to hold office.
Councilors aren't promoting light rail because it's "cool". They're promoting it because it's between half and a third the cost of new subway lines, and the city just can't raise the money.
I'd love to see the subway extended. I'd also love to take a vacation in orbit. Sadly, the two are about as likely for the same reason; the money's not there.
-- Steve
Montreal has some nice charms and good nightlife, but it lost its number one city in Canada role to Toronto after the PQ win in 1976 and drove some 500,000 people out of the greater Montreal area as the focus became on French language and Quebec centric. Toronto has become an international city with all languages spoken and welcoming to all. Toronto has a better climate-- Montreal is an ice box from December to April. Toronto has the Beaches area, great restaurants and is connected to the world. Montreal has stood still for years and is in decline--too bad as this did not have to happen.
That's a bit harsh, dude, it has its flaws like any city but it's nothing like you say. I take Toronto for granted and so I'm always surprised when I visit other cities and people say "I loooove Toronto" (that's happened more than a few times).
Is it a lofty expectation that a statesman should act like a statesman? One wonders why, among the 2+ million citizens of this city, no apt leader can be found.

GMC Hidden Treasure Adventure 2013: Yard Sale Heaven
Posted By Jocie On August 13, 2013 @ 7:00 am In The Better Half | 18 Comments
If you follow us on FB [1], Twitter [2], or Instagram [3] you know that I was traveling with the GMC Hidden treasure Adventure along with 5 other fabulous bloggers, all with the goal of furnishing and decorating a Habitat for Humanity home. It was amazing!!
If you love supporting Habitat for Humanity, be sure to check out our Before and After DIY contest [4] supporting Habitat for Humanity!
We started in Detroit, where the bloggers paired up and were given GMC Acadia Denalis [5] to drive all the way to Atlanta! What a sweet ride – leather heated and cooled seats, 3 rows, and my personal favorite, an alert light in your side view mirror when someone is in your blond spot. AMAZING! Here are all us bloggers with the Acadia Denali right before we set out on our quest. (left to right) Liz from LizMarie Blog [6], Courtney from French Country Cottage [7], Christine from The DIY Dreamer [8], Carissa from Good n Crazy [9], ME (Jocie),and Kirsten from Simply Grove [10]!
Before we left Detroit, we were given $250 budget to spend on furniture and decor. Then we chose our room out of a hat – I chose the living room. By far the biggest room, but very fitting my personality and DIY bend!
Our first stop was at the Habitat ReStore outside of Detroit where we found some amazing stuff, including my couch and globe! woot woot.
From there we drove to Hudson, MI, spent the night and then started off the next morning on the World's longest yard sale, which runs 4 states along interstate 127.
Christine, the DIY Dreamer and the coolest partner possible, and I decided to ask anyone who gave us a good deal on the yard sale to sign our shirts. My haggling, along with the kind nature of people wanting to help a Habitat family, meant there were lots of good deals to be had! This was our very first purchase and signature on the GMC Hidden Treasure Adventure.
I love to bargain and haggle. My goal was always to offer a ridiculously low price and work up from there. I got a ton of amazing steals and had so much fun talking and haggling along the way.
Here is my new friend Jimmy in Kentucky who I enjoyed bargaining with. He also made these license plate dust pans – a DIY kindred spirit.
While the bloggers were split amongst three Acadia Denalis, we saw a lot of each other along the 127 sale and became good friends. We often even got to eat together. Us along with our fab photographer and GMC social media guru, Clare!
Being a DIY girl myself, after we arrived to our hotel in the evenings and had dinner, I stayed up each night painting end tables and frames. I spend $2 each on the end tables and some of the frames I got for a quarter and others were free.
One night in Tennessee, it was so humid the paint would not dry on my pieces and I had so much I needed to get done. So out of frustration and sheer genius, I turned on the AC in the Acadia Denali, lined with trunk with plastic, and rotated the wet pieces in and out of the truck as they dried and I painted more. It worked so well! Plus I didn't have to carry them back to my room and sleep in paint fumes.
We yard saled and shopped Wednesday through Saturday, finally ending in Atlanta, where we put in all in the house on Sunday morning and then revealed it to Leetoya and her family, the proud Habitat for Humanity homeowners.
I know this is a bit of a teaser, but next week I will reveal the house in all its glory, so stay tuned. For more pix and Hidden Treasure Adventure story, find us on Twitter using the hashtag #GMChta.
As Always, thanks for reading!

Georgia Aquarium to Be the World's Largest
Benefactor Bernie Marcus Announces Six Presenting Sponsors
Atlanta, GA (September 7, 2005) – Bernie Marcus, benefactor of the Georgia Aquarium, announced today that the Georgia Aquarium will open November 23, 2005, as the largest in the world. AMOUNT OF WATER AND NUMBER OF FISH "There are two things people measure an aquarium by - the amount of water and the number of fish," Marcus explained. He then announced the Aquarium's amount of water -- more than 8 million gallons -- and its number of fish --more than 100,000. "Our original water figures were low, and it wasn't until the measuring tapes came out and the water systems were filled that we understood just how enormous the numbers actually were," Marcus said. Six million of the more than eight million gallons are in the whale shark habitat, a single habitat built specifically to accommodate whale sharks, the largest fish in the world. At its longest, widest and deepest parts, the habitat measures 263' long x 126' wide x 33' deep. Marcus also confirmed the size of the facility at 550,000 total square feet, of which 505,000 is covered space. THE PRESENTING SPONSORS Marcus then announced "six great companies" that have signed advertising and marketing agreements to become presenting sponsors of the Georgia Aquarium: AirTran Airways, BellSouth, Georgia-Pacific, The Home Depot, Southern Company and SunTrust Banks. Marcus and the Georgia Aquarium leadership approached the largest corporate citizens in Atlanta, not only because "we knew they understood what a remarkable opportunity this would be, for downtown, for the city of Atlanta and for the state of Georgia," but because they "have the marketing savvy to understand that their participation would enable them to expose their brand and their products to the millions of people who visit the Aquarium each year," he added. "Our presenting sponsors are world-class companies with a number of similarities," Marcus said. "They are leading corporate citizens . they have strong leadership . they know the value of advertising and promotion . and they are successful financially." "Just as The Coca-Cola Company graciously donated the nine acres of land enabling us to begin the project, our presenting sponsors stepped up to the plate, said, `we want to be a part of this,' and offered their support," Marcus explained. "Billi and I will be eternally grateful to our sponsors, the aquarium staff, city and state leadership, and the guests who will begin visiting just eleven weeks from today for helping making our dream a reality." For additional information, contact: Donna Fleishman, 770-241-8252/404-720-8149 ABOUT THE GEORGIA AQUARIUM The Georgia Aquarium will open in Atlanta, Georgia on November 23, 2005, as one of the world's largest aquarium facilities. With more than 8 million gallons of marine and fresh water, and more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species, the Georgia Aquarium is a gift to the people of Georgia from Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot, and his wife Billi, through the Marcus Foundation. The Aquarium will be overseen by a nonprofit corporation run by a board of directors. The mission of the Georgia Aquarium is to be an entertaining, educational and scientific institution featuring exhibitions and programs of the highest standards, offering engaging and entertaining visitors' experiences, and promoting the conservation of aquatic biodiversity throughout the world.

Find your way around museums (and one zoo) with Google Maps
Android users now get indoor maps for some of the most popular museums in the U.S., as well as the Smithsonian National Zoo. And according to Google more are on the way.
Google Maps is adding some fine art to its database, as it today gives Android users indoor maps for more than 20 U.S. museums. Joining the more than 10,000 indoor maps already available on the service are floor plans for the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Museum Center, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, 17 Smithsonian museums, and the Smithsonian National Zoo.
Whether you're conducting a Google Maps search from afar or you're standing at the doorstep of a supported museum, you can access the floor plans by simply zooming in on your Android device. The familiar "blue dot" icon will still indicate where you are, and if you change floors within a museum, the floor plan will update automatically.
While 20 museums doesn't sound like many, Google says that more are on the way. In fact, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Phillips Collection, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the National WWII Museum in New Orleans are all in the process of adding their floor plans now.

Kennel History, the Important PartsThe owner of Gillshire Kennels, Liz Thompson (picture), purchased the kennel in 1981, from a couple who operated a 'mom and pop' business. Working 20 hour days, as new business owners are apt to do, Liz did all the cleaning, feeding, grooming, telephone work, purchasing, customer service, and poopy scooping. It was during this time that she began to develop the standards and animal care procedures that would eventually be the foundation of her success.The first kennel employee was a professional groomer, which gave Liz more time to spend with customers and their pets. It was slow going those first few years, but the word began to spread: for people who treat their pets like a family member, Gillshire Kennels is the only place to board. Several customers mentioned that dropping their dog off at the kennel was as easy as dropping their kids off at a relative's house, that the kennel was "like one of the family". Every couple years, Liz added another kennel employee to help her take care of the animals. The kennel has always had a larger 'staff to pet' ratio than any other kennel, because it takes people to give quality care. Whether you're talking 'nurses to patients' or 'waitresses to customers', the better the ratio, the better the care and service. It's no different at a kennel. Unwilling to cut corners on quality dog food, cleaning supplies, or staff, it took nearly 10 years for the kennel to turn the corner financially. It took that long to develop a customer base that would keep the occupancy rate high during the 'off' season. Most kennels are full during tourist season and holidays. But it is unheard of in this area, for a kennel to have a 60% occupancy rate in February, like Gillshire Kennels does. So, in the early nineties, Liz was able to begin expanding the kennel facilities. The size of the 'little house' was more than doubled; the outside play yards were expanded and covered for year round use, a laundry room was built, a commercial washer was installed, a room was added on specifically to board birds, and a building just for cats was built. The original buildings were upgraded and remodeled. On the drawing board for the near future: another commercial washer and more outside runs. Currently, the kennel has 12 employees, Liz is still a 'hands-on' owner and works 6 1/2 days a week. Chances of a second kennel location or franchise: when those Scottish scientists perfect human cloning! Employee Bio'sFor as much as everyone around here likes to talk, it sure is difficult to get them to talk about themselves!

Pink Bunny Knitting Project
Check out this cuddly bunny from Softies Only a Mother Could Love
By Kristina Karkov Therkildsen
Special Offer
This bunny emerged when I was practicing knitting with four needles. I was originally planning to knit a little girl doll, but halfway through, my doll turned into a rabbit! These instructions explain how to knit the bunny either with four regular knitting needles, or with a circular needle.
Finished Size
15 cm × 8 cm (6 in × 3 in) – body only
4 × 2.5 mm (US size 1/UK size 13) knitting needles or 1 × 2.5 mm, 20 cm (8 in) circular double-pointed needle
Tracing paper
Sewing needle and/or machine
Stuffing stick (or chopstick or pencil)
Fabric – scraps of colored felt or fabric for the feet, arms, and ears, plus another piece for the heart (this can be the same or contrasting).
Extra fabric – a small piece of white felt or fabric for the snout, plus any scrap of fabric for the rice bag.
Yarn – 2 balls of 4-ply cotton yarn: 1 ball pink (MC) and 1 ball white (CC).
Decorations – 2 matching buttons for eyes. 1 different button for the nose. (You may want to try out different colors and sizes before you attach them.)
1 small white pom-pom for the tail.
Thread – white sewing thread. Embroidery thread to match button colors.
Stuffing – polyfill and rice.
1. Begin by knitting the body. If using 4 needles, cast on 60 stitches evenly across 3 needles. If using a circular needle, place a marker before the first stitch (so that you can keep count of the number of rounds knitted). Then, using knit stitch, knit:
MC 5 rounds
CC 3 rounds
MC 3 rounds
CC 3 rounds
Continue this pattern until you have 16 stripes, or about 10 cm (4 in). If using a circular needle, place 2 more markers – 1 at the 20th stitch and one at the 40th. Then, using knit stitch, knit:
MC 3 rounds
Continue using the MC and decrease by one stitch at the beginning of each needle (or at each marker if using a circular needle) until you have only 6 stitches left on each needle (or 18 for circular needle). (Decrease by knitting 2 stitches together through the front of the stitches.) Break yarn off, leaving a 20 cm (8 in) tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and secure. Secure the rest of the threads and cut off. At this stage you should have a tube shape that is closed at one end.
2. Using a stuffing stick, stuff the body firmly.
3. For the fabric pieces, trace and cut out the pattern using the templates below. Pin it to the felt or fabric and cut out the pieces. You will need to cut out 2 leg shapes (cut on the fold), 4 ear shapes, 4 arm shapes, 1 bottom shape, 1 heart shape, and 1 snout shape. Cut an
additional 2 bottom shapes using scrap material for the rice bag.
4. To make the rice bag, pin the pieces of scrap material together and sew, leaving a 2 cm (¾ in) hole for turning right-side out (as marked). Turn right-side out and fill the bag with rice. Stitch the hole closed and insert in the base of the knitted bunny.
5. Tack the remaining (patterned) bottom piece on to one side of the rice bag (right-side out). Insert the rice bag into the bunny's open base (right side of the patterned fabric facing out). Pin in place, with the knitted edge tucked over the top of the rice bag. Stitch securely.
6. For the legs, fold each piece in half (right sides facing) as indicated on the pattern and sew. Leave the base of each leg open for turning right-side out and stuffing. Turn right-side out.
7. Use a stuffing stick to stuff each leg, then handstitch the openings closed. Tuck the legs under the edge of the bunny's front, about 2 cm (3/4 in) apart. Pin and stitch in place.
8. Trace a mouth onto the white snout piece. Stitch the snout piece onto the bunny, placing it so that the top is in line with the top of the first CC stripe on the body. Pin on and stitch. Hand stitch the mouth with embroidery thread. Attach a button for the nose, then attach remaining buttons for the eyes.
9. For each arm, pin 2 pieces together (right sides facing) and sew, leaving the ends open for turning right-side out and stuffing. Turn right-side out and use a stuffing stick to stuff each arm. Attach arms on each side of the body, positioning the top of the arms at the bottom edge of the second CC stripe.
10. For each ear, pin 2 pieces together (right sides facing) and sew, leaving the ends open for turning right-side out and stuffing. Turn right-side out. Using the dotted lines on the pattern as a guide, fold the front of each ear slightly and stitch it in place – this will give it the shape of a bunny ear. Attach ears on each side of the body, just above the eyes.
11. Attach the pom-pom tail on the back of the bunny.
12. Pin the heart shape onto the body and stitch on.

We've been running a [b]racket over on the Mormon Lit Blitz page in which sixteen works face off against each other in an event we're calling August Insanity. With just five matches to go, here's how things look:
In the diagram above, the numbers with dashes between them indicate the vote margin by which a given work advanced. The closest match to date was the 8-7 overtime (=after James's bedtime) victory of Death of a Disco Dancer over Saturday's Warrior. The largest margin of victory is the 15-point differential between Thinderella Byuck and early favorite The Backslider. (Incidentally, this match is also the reason for the schism between August Insanity and the Reorganized Community of August Insanity, founded to protest the alleged daylight robbery of the cowboy classic).
I had considered providing some bookcaster analysis at this juncture in the tourney, but maybe it will be better to solicit it instead.
What do you think of the tournament so far?
Who's been robbed? Who's finally getting the recognition they deserve?
Is your bracket currently beating the brackets of Theric's son and/or my daughter?
What do you anticipate in our five remaining matches?

Italy coach crash: At least 38 dead near Avellino
A coach has plunged off a flyover in southern Italy leaving at least 38 people dead in the country's worst road accident for decades.
The coach hit several vehicles before smashing through a barrier and toppling down a steep slope near the town of Avellino, in the Campania region.
At least 10 people were injured, some of them seriously.
The coach was taking about 50 people, including children, back to Naples following a pilgrimage.
The cause of the accident is not yet known. Some reports say the vehicle was travelling at speed.
At the scene
What really strikes you here at the scene of the crash is the great height that the bus fell. Standing where it came crashing down through the trees, you have to crane your neck to look up at edge of the road. It stands 30m above you against the blue of the sky.
Most of the wreck of the bus was taken away soon after daybreak. But smaller parts of it are still lying around - including a few seats. And in among the debris there were some personal items: a pair of women's silver flip flops, and what looked like a child's toy.
They are just the sort of things that you might expect families to have with them on an excursion like this - what was supposed to be a chance to get away to the countryside on a summer weekend.
The head of the local fire brigade division, Alessio Barbarulo, said barriers on bridges would normally prevent such accidents but "evidently it seems the impact was so strong that even the barrier gave way".
A survivor said the driver, who was among the dead, appeared to have lost control of the bus, possibly after a tyre punctured.
Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said the vehicle had passed its annual inspection in March, and there was no indication of technical problems.
Tests are being carried out on the driver's body as part of the investigation into what caused the accident.
TV footage showed smashed vehicles on the flyover and shrouded bodies lined up by the side of a road.
The Naples-Bari motorway was closed to traffic because of the accident.
The bus dropped 30m (98ft), coming to rest in heavy undergrowth after smashing through the guard-rail.
The final number of victims remains unclear, with local officials saying 38 died while the transport ministry in Rome spoke of 39.
The injured were taken to hospitals in Avellino, Salerno and Nola, Ansa news agency said.
They include the occupants of the six cars caught up in the collision. Six of those hurt are children.
Those on board had been visiting the town of Telese Terme, known for its hot springs, and the nearby birthplace of Padre Pio, one of Italy's most popular saints.
On a visit to Greece, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said the accident was "a huge tragedy".
Exactly 10 years ago, another accident on the same stretch of motorway claimed six lives and injured 11 other people.

Thou haft the sheer gall to demand passage to my domain, thou, a 'champion' that openly delights in conniving ways on and off the Fields, one that relishes the chance to riddle another with arrows the moment their backs are turned. Hah. Thou will have to do FAR better than this if thou seeks to broker any manner of negotiations with me.

Then what do you want? I can't kill you. You know this. A shadow does not die. I am not stupid! I know what you are. Do I have to, what...get on the knees that I don't have and beg? That is just degrading! I thought you people were so open to having someone join your kind. Apparently not. Just think of the possibilities. I know shadows. What would Mordekaiser have to say?
I have made quite an interesting find, maybe you would like to see it. From the logs of all the questions you have answered, I read in the beginnings that you didn't know weither or not you could ingest the living world's food. I found this picture that claims to be the inside of your stomach. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/20...on-d5is2ea.jpg I have no idea if this is true, I don't even know if you do have a stomach, but this was pretty interesting. I really wonder who would have been able to see it from the insides like this and then share it to the world.
Embrace? Yes yes, of course! You don't seem to trust me at all! ...Suppose there is a reason not to. But that is beside the point. I will cooperate. I will embrace, yes. If you choose to, you can 'do away with me' if you must. It would be so easy wouldn't it? Yes.

One of our favorite trends, and an idea that we hope has staying power, is using lighting to make the major statement in a room. If you want a light fixture that wows but aren't sure where to start, here's a good rule of thumb: Add the measurements of your room, and that's about how many inches your fixture should be. So a 12-foot by 15-foot room, for example, would have a 27-inch fixture. Of course, we're never opposed to going a little bigger!
Since the table is usually the major piece in a dining room or breakfast room, accessorizing with style can be tricky. A gorgeous light fixture makes making a statement a breeze. If you're looking for the fixture to be the focal point, try hanging it 30 inches off the table, a little lower than the 40-inch recommendation if another focal point is behind it.
If there is one thing that consistently makes a room, it's the art. It's tempting to stick with paintings in the palette of the room, but sometimes finding a piece you love is the most important thing. It's amazing how easily those pieces often work with the design you already have.
Art that defines a space doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive. Finding a new, local artist who is just getting started is often a good way to snag a one-of-a-kind piece. Work by supertalented artists for every budget is also always appearing on Etsy. Or, if you're so inclined, pick up a few paints and a canvas and channel your inner artist. Who knows what you might create?
It's easy to get caught in the rut that art applies only to paintings. These iron musicians are a fabulous example of three-dimensional art that the eye can't help but be drawn to. Hats, sailboats and plates are other great examples of easily accessible three-dimensional art.
So often the floors are something that fade into the background, asking to be covered by a rug. Not so with this vibrant black and white pattern. This classic color combination can be re-created in marble, tile or linoleum for any style room and any budget.
Another oft-forgotten surface, the ceiling, is a great place to make a statement. If a custom-made design is out of the question, patterned ceiling tiles, a gorgeous medallion and even wallpaper are easy ways to give the ceiling punch, no artist required.
The stairway is another spot that can easily fade into the background. Make it pop by painting banister and spindle surfaces with opposing colors, such as the classic black and white. For the very daring, a bright pink, green, orange or blue is incredibly eye catching. On the flip side, if you aren't wild about the banister and spindles on your staircase, paint them the same color as the walls and watch them fade into the background.

LeBron and Wade Think Criticism of the Lakers is Nothing Like What The Heat Went Through
Categories: Sports
After signing Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, the Lakers were expected to be an unstoppable juggernaut. Casual fans (and surely NBA execs) dreamed of finally getting that LeBron vs Kobe finals. Instead the team is 15-20, and 11th in the Western conference. The team might not even make it into the playoffs at this rate, and the five game losing streak their stuck in isn't helping.
Though, the public reaction to the Laker's apparently failing experiment is less outrage and more Schadenfreude.
"No one will ever be able to compare what we went through," James said according to the Miami Herald. "Even though they're not winning and they're losing a lot of games, it's still nowhere near what we went through."
"Yeah, right. That level of magnitude was nowhere near where ours was two years ago. Nothing. Nothing compares to it."
"It's the Lakers," Wade chimed in. "They're America's team. I keep saying it. They're the standard of what the NBA has been for years, Boston and the Lakers. But the Lakers are in L.A., the big market. So, from that standpoint, you understand it. You get it."
Wade went on to note that the intense public criticism of the Heat actually helped the team come together, and fueled their determination to win last year's championship.
The Heat, we should also add, were lead by a guy in his prime hungry for his first ring. The Lakers meanwhile feature a guy who already has five rings and is nearing the twilight of his career.
Dwight Howard might have been better off staying in Orlando.

Hi, I have a Ford Sierra 1.8 CVH and I'm having a bit of hassle. I broke my rotor arm shaft and can't get a new 1 from Ford as they no longer supply the part. If anybody has 1 lying around or know of where I can get 1, I would really appreiciate it. I have just spent 2 months rebuilding the engine after the cam belt went and a freind of mine accidently broke it. I can't beleive 1 peice of plastic would be so much trouble. I did consider an engine swap, but to be honest I like the car the way it is, original! If anyone can help please please let me know, I would not enjoy having to take it to the scrap yard because of 1 little plastic holder. Thanks.
February 25, 2009, 7:41 pm
try the scrapyard for a dizzy you can strip for the part you require.
February 25, 2009, 9:47 pm
if you do fine a sierra in a scrappy see if its got a decent rear bumper and nice it for me plz
March 10, 2009, 8:25 pm
Yellow Pages mate. Car Breakers, off the shelf parts etc. you will probably have to buy the whole dizzy, but it's still better than swapping the engine. If you can get an engine swap surely you can get the part. If you get so desperate that you're considering making one out of old bits of leggo and a cigarette lighter then give this guy a call : Charlie Macs, Shop - (0151) 207 2251 / Dismantling - (0151) 933 1028. Nowhere near N/hampton but he knows his parts, fords and other parts people. Good hunting

Hi Taxi17,
I read you request for help when I registered this morning. I will be able to provide you with the part you need. I have a FOrd sierra 1.8 CVH car in my garage good and running. However I am negotiating a better one so I can use my current Sierra a as spare parts provider. The sierra CVH is a great car for me. If you are still in need of thet part let me know and we would be able to coordinate a solution to your problem.

Tom Watson MP dropped something of a bombshell during yesterday's PMQs (iPlayer). It was the sort of question which, had it come from just about any other parliamentarian, and had Mr Watson not been so thoroughly vindicated in his tireless pursuit of the Murdoch press, would have ensured the politician a place in the David Icke school of nutty conspiracy theory. But paedophilia is now irresistably topical, and all suspected offenders must be hunted, exposed and shamed - even if they're disguised as lizards during normal daylight hours and lurk in the cupbaords of Downing Steet or Buckingham Palace.
While MPs were fretting about GDP, growth, fuel tariffs and the West Coast Mainline, Tom Watson asked a question about a paedophile network with links to Downing Street and a former prime minister. He referred to the existence of 'clear intelligence', and urged the Prime Minister to investigate.
Mr Watson told a stunned House of Commons: "The evidence used to convict paedophile Peter Righton, if it still exists, contains clear intelligence of a widespread paedophile ring. One of its members boasts of his links to a senior aide of a former prime minister who says he could smuggle indecent images of children from abroad. The leads were not followed up, but if the file still exists I want to ensure that the Metropolitan Police secure the evidence, re-examine it and investigate clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No10."
Mr Cameron referred to this being 'a very difficult and complex case' (well, what would you say?), and added that he was 'not entirely sure which former prime minister he is referring to'.
The vacuum of unknown unknowns will doubtless be filled (at least in the short-term) by the name of Ted Heath. But, as with Jimmy Savile, it's easy to disparage and defame the dead. If (as seems likely) Ted Heath was gay, it does not follow that he was a paedophile, which is an altogether different sexual predeliction. Former Conservative minister Edwina Currie has claimed that Sir Peter Morrison, PPS to Margaret Thatcher, had sex with 16-year-old boys (when the age of homosexual consent was 21). Again, conveniently, Sir Peter died in 1995.
But His Grace has a slight problem with Tom Watson's allegation.
In David Cameron's never-ending quest for 'gay equality', and his deepest desire to 'decontaminate' the Tory brand and revive the Conservative Party as a 'broad church' of tolerant social liberalism, he has legislated to amend the statutory provisions on paedophilia and decriminalise it retrospectively, thereby rehabilitating those who were disobeying the law at the time. The state has permitted what it once prohibited, and the contemporary permission negates and nullifies historic prohibition.
Now that the age of homosexual consent has been equalised at 16, Mr Watson's allegation of a paedophile ring 'leading to No10' is rendered otiose. Certainly, if Sir Peter Morrison were having sex with 16-year-old boys when the age of homosexual consent was 21, according to David Cameron he is no longer a paedophile.
Indeed, if one were to take an EU-wide perspective on this (being a 'single legal area'), Tom Watson's allegations would not stand up to scrutiny in a political union where the age of consent begins at 12 (in the Vatican) or 13 (in Spain).
There is no agreed EU or European definition of what constitutes pederasty. And if the mystery prime minister to whom Tom Watson refers were having sex consensually with underage boys or girls in (say) the 1970s, the present Prime Minister has absolved his predecessor by redefining 'paedo' and 'consensual'. If past crimes against children would no longer show on a Criminal Records Bureau certificate, no crime has been committed.
Accordingly, if the age of consent were to be lowered at some point in the future (as it most assuredly will be), to 15 or 14 (if only to harmonise with 'ever closer union'), the legal precedent has been set for retrospective absolution. Today's paedophiles can look forward to the eradication of their criminal records, and an assurance that they will not be condemned to the life-long shame of having to declare that they were convicted of under-age sex.
So, Tom Watson is on a hiding to nothing. Parliament has consensualised that which the law said could not be consensual at the time of the act. We may no longer define sexual perversion or judge a person's private morality, for Parliament determines the public law. And Parliament, of which Mr Watson is a participating member, would doubtless deem this former prime minister a 'fit and proper' person to work with children.

Choosing colors doesn't have to be a guessing game. In this article from Before & After magazine, follow along as a designer finds fitting colors for a cover with a photograph and text. You'll see how to pull coordinating colors out of a photo and how to convey a variety of messages with simple changes in hue.
"The cool colors -- blues, mainly -- make for a more serious, businesslike relationship and convey a direct, to-the-point message. Note that as the values get darker, her face gets perceptually brighter and apears to rise off the page toward you."

text: | Hawks were so close, future remains brightMarch 15, 2013 - Andy HeintzThe Iowa men's basketball team saw a similar script unfold in front of its eyes Friday night during the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Conference tournament. The Hawkeyes had a big lead against No. 8 Michigan State only to see the lead evaporate in the final 10 minutes thanks to turnovers, poor offensive sets and some unfortunate calls from the officials. No Iowa player scored in double figures and Iowa's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder Aaron White had just five points and no boards in the 59-56 loss at the United Center. "I've coached in a lot of games, a lot of seasons. I've coached in a lot of tournaments, NCAA tournaments," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. "This team deserved a better fate tonight." Michigan State was supposed to win and did, but even coach Tom Izzo knew his team got outplayed. He didn't have many positive things to say after the win and gave Iowa tons of credit. The difference between the two programs is that Michigan State and Izzo have been in big moments before and come through. Iowa is working through some growing pains under McCaffery and can't seem to close out big games when it needs to. Many believe that Iowa is one of the top 34 at large teams in the country. It will just be hard to prove it with its resume. The Hawkeyes need to play a soft schedule early to get the youngsters acclimated to the college game. But that same schedule is what will likely prevent the Hawkeyes from earning their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2007. Michigan State came into the game with a 70-28 record in March under Izzo since the 1998-99 season. The Spartans also have won three Big Ten tourney titles. They just know how to win. They have eliminated Iowa from the Big Ten tournament three straight years. The Spartans are the program several Big Ten teams want to become. Iowa is close. But it is not there yet. Iowa is improving. There is no doubt about that. And this young team will eventually figure it out. You could tell late in the game that the Hawkeyes had two freshmen at the point guard position. The ball handling was beyond suspect. They did turn it over 19 times. It is hard to be disappointed at the season. The fans are clearly energized and just having Iowa back in the NCAA tourney discussion is a far cry from where it was before McCaffery arrived. The toughest thing to take about yet another close loss Friday is that they outplayed the Spartans for most of the game and had a golden opportunity to win and perhaps end the NCAA tourney drought. But you can't rebound like that and give in to the Michigan State ball pressure like they did. It makes it hard to win. Now, the players, coaches and fans have to find a way to get back up for a trip to the NIT. The Hawkeyes will likely host one or two games, but this season definitely left the fans wanting more. Before McCaffery arrived, fans had come to expect the team to lose more than it won. Now, fans see the improvement, are teased with strong efforts for 35 minutes and struggle as the Hawkeyes blow leads late in the game. It is good to be in the conversation. Iowa wants more. Iowa needs more. And hopefully, the team can use this season as an experience and grow from it. But it sure was fun to care this much into March. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article.

iLuv's slightly different take on a Kindle Fire case
iLuv's Portfolio Stand is one of the better Kindle Fire cases we've come across.
Companies send over samples for various accessories, and I try to highlight some of the better ones for various devices. Case in point: iLuv's Portfolio Stand for Kindle Fire.
It's a nice, trim case that fits snuggly and turns into a stand by unhitching the Fire from the bottom of the case. It's a design we've seen before with iPad cases, and it works better than you'd think.
Drawbacks: this one isn't made of leather (it is very good faux leather, however) and it's fairly expensive at $49.99 (though it can be had online for less than $40).
iLuv makes several accessories for the Fire, including a screen cover and other cases, but the Portfolio Stand gets the highlight image and stamp of approval. We just wish it cost a bit less.

Jobless data: getting worse, but not quite as painful
The recession has run its course, but the bad news isn't over
Jeff ThredgoldU.S. employment data for August was a mix of "getting less painful" and "getting worse" -- both as expected.
The crux of the data was one more sign that the U.S. recession has largely run its course, although ongoing but lesser job losses and rising unemployment will remain the norm in coming months.
The U.S. economy lost a net 216,000 jobs during August, slightly better (less bad) than the 230,000 loss expected by forecasting economists. The loss was the smallest in 12 months and more than 60 percent below the average monthly job loss during 2009's first half. However, revised job data of the two prior months suggests 49,000 more jobs were lost than in previous estimates.
Goods-producing employment bore the lion's share of the losses, with a net decline of 136,000 jobs. Construction employment fell by another 65,000 jobs. Manufacturing lost 63,000 additional jobs, taking losses within the sector to two million since the "Great Recession" officially began in December 2007. Mining employment declined by 9,000 jobs during the month.
Service-providing employment fared somewhat better, with a loss of another 80,000 jobs. Professional and business services lost another 22,000 jobs, while retail trade lost 10,000 positions. Still, each sector did substantially "better" than in previous months.
The leisure and hospitality sector lost 21,000 jobs, while the government sector lost 18,000 positions, led by fewer jobs in state and local government and at the Postal Service. Better news saw the education and health services sector add another 52,000 jobs.
• The net decline of 3.08 million jobs during 2008 was the worst year since 1945. The loss of 3.85 million jobs during 2009's first eight months has already surpassed the 2008 total. The net decline of 6.93 million jobs is a painful contrast to the average gain of 1.9 million net new jobs annually during 2005 to 2007.
• The average hourly wage rose 0.3 percent (six cents) to $18.65 hourly. While the rise of 2.6 percent during the past year is meager at best, it looks more favorable versus the actual 2.1percent decline in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent 12-month period ending in July.
• The average workweek held at 33.1 hours in August, just slightly above the record low of 33.0 hours in June. Many employers tend to boost hours of current workers before making new hiring additions.
• The "underemployment" rate rose to 16.8 percent in August, versus 16.3 percent in July. This rate, at its highest level since such a measurement began 15 years ago, combines the announced jobless total with those who are working part-time but prefer full-time jobs, and those discouraged workers who have given up seeking a job (and are no longer counted as unemployed).
• An estimated 14.9 million people are currently considered unemployed, the highest level since the Great Depression. The total breaks down to an average of nearly 300,000 unemployed people in each state. Five million people have been out of work for more than six months, with hundreds of thousands of construction and manufacturing jobs never to return.
• The unemployment rate for men 20 years and older rose to 10.1 percent in August from 9.8 percent in July. The jobless rate for women 20 years and older rose to 7.6 percent in August from 7.5 percent in July.
• The jobless rate for teenagers rose to a record 25.5 percent in August, up sharply from 23.8 percent in July. More conservative thinkers would suggest that the recent sharp increase in the minimum wage from $6.55 to $7.25 hourly simply made unskilled younger workers too expensive.
• The unemployment rate for Whites rose to 8.9 percent in August, versus 8.6 percent in July. The jobless rate for Blacks or African Americans rose to 15.1 percent in August, up sharply from 14.5 percent in July. The jobless rate for those of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity rose to 13 percent, also up sharply from 12.3 percent the prior month.
• "Temp" worker job losses fell to 6,500 in August, versus an average monthly loss of 51,000 jobs during 2009's first six months (The Wall Street Journal). Such a move is viewed positively, since many firms hire and fire "temp" workers before adding to more permanent payrolls. Total "temp" employment has fallen from 2.6 million to 1.7 million since the recession began, with one of every eight jobs lost in the recession a temp job.
From Here?
The vast majority of forecasting economists agree that the U.S. economy will grow during 2009's final half, as well as throughout 2010. However, a major debate rages as to the vibrancy of such economic growth, as well as how employment markets will fare.
Some see a significant growth rate between July and December 2009, with solid growth during 2010 and 2011 as well. They see job gains returning at a favorable pace, arguing that employers were very quick to cut jobs during the past year and will need to rebuild staffing levels quickly.
Others see a more modest economic growth pace, with employment gains in various months offset by net losses in other months. They point to the fact that even as the U.S. economy emerged from its prior eight-month recession in November 2001, total employment actually declined slightly during the next two years...the infamous "jobless" recovery.
By way of comparison, either scenario is much better than the enormous employment hemorrhage since the Great Recession began.

I had a great person feel sorry for him and cover him in a beautiful jacket, Diana from http://www.grafixtogo.com/ and still he bitches. His constant neediness is driving me crazy and now, finally, he is leaving. Maybe I can go back to sleeping nights again and not getting elbowed at three a.m. with him screaming into my ear saying "you spelled 'pyschotic' wrong again, idiot." But the thing is, like most kids he appreciates nothing and hates me. Once he is leaves I doubt he will send me back a dime back for my old age, but at least he's gone.
But something happened today that has me jumping at ever sound and I'm scared and want to open my computer to Word and write something anything and I have this idea about another book that will be great this time and not half the trouble and it will be funny not dark and R rated and this time the baby will sleep nights and be a good son and we will play word games together and throw the ole' football in the yard and this will be easy to edit and it will be a masterpiece and I will be richer than Richer Rich and have hot and cold beautiful women running around my mansion after Eddie Murphy makes his great comeback with the greatest screenplay ever written and I win an Oscar and I will be famous famous I tell you famous and,, ,,.oh, wait, I'm sorry. I got carried away for a moment. Of course, that's it, no more books for me Pal, period! No more books for me! Nope~
Jon, thank you my friend~
STATHI, thank you for stopping by, nice thoughts~
Linnn, it was worse raising this book than my own kids. But, it isn't mine any longer and I can sleep, yes~
Gerald, I will have a link up on Monday, or Tuesday. I'm also heading to Kindle and a few other places, I hope~~Thanks buddy~
ds, this is 3 years of blood, sweat and tears, seriously. I learned on the job and the next one will not be as hard, and if it is, I quit!~
Abrawang, thank you my friend~
Miguela Holt y Roybal, Thank you and Bob. I'll have a link up Monday~~
D. Thank you buddy. You can see the dark side of me. If we write what we know, then I should be in prison!:-)
LL2, Yes, I'll have a link up Monday. Thank you and I hope you're
feeling better~
DH, I don't know what you mean. Am I happy here? Yes, OS is my second home and I'm sorry about your books. I'm sure they are a lot better than my offering!
It won't be your family; instead it will be the publishers and copyright lawyers.
You'll be rolling over in your grave.
Well maybe not; maybe I'm learning from Steven King and am just trying to scare the hell out of you.
jlsathre, yes it is. But, I am outlining my next book already. A dark/comedy I think. Thanks~
Sheila, it's people like you and L and Linda and countless others who are kind enough to read me and even help me. I'll never forget it and I have it in my book. I can't thank OS enough, even though I complain at times!
Christine, thank you and have a great holiday~
Mary, thank you. The link will be up Monday or Tuesday~
Zackery, just knowing I'm remembered is enough for me. Anyone who writes for money is crazy, unless you are the Steven Kings and a few others.
DH, it's gone, history. Thanks~
Erica, the champagne and cigars are at the Chicken Mann's coup. He has a cool coup and a couple of crazy calico cats, hah!
Thanks to you, too - Chicken Mãâàn - for alerting me to this post. Life is pretty sweet.
And I have heard A LOT of good news today…well, not A LOT, but more than an average day…
And yours is the best!
The additional information that your creation is "dark" only adds to my joy. I know you do "dark' well.
Being your baby, I am not surprised the little monster is a pain in the ass. Ha.
Maybe when he gets some siblings, he will be less troublesome…
As for "why does the world need another book," well, Kurt Vonnegut said,
"why write books ... there is a very good reason, that you catch people before they become generals and presidents and so forth and you poison their minds with ... humanity, and however you want to poison their minds, it's presumably to encourage them to make a better world."
It'll be a better world with a book by you in it!
Now it's in your blood, and you have a dedicated audience more hooked on you than a 1980s yuppie on crack---so, for the love of God, don't stop now!!!!
Great title and cover, I pray the best comes to you. You deserve nothing less.

Human rights and health – still on the agenda in the Americas |
The Fifth Summit of the Americas, held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in April 2009, resulted in the Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain "Securing Our Citizens' Future by Promoting Human Prosperity, Energy Security and Environmental Sustainability". The Declaration, made by 34 "Heads of State and Government of the democratic countries of the Americas" on 19 April, is sprinkled with references to both human rights and health. In the first paragraph of the Declaration, in its Preamble, the Heads of State and Government (HoSG) declare: "…we reiterate our will to strengthen national, regional and hemispheric efforts to create the conditions for justice, prosperity, security and peace for the peoples of the Americas, based on the protection and promotion of and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms." Paragraph 5 notes that the challenges facing the people of the Americas are closely inter-dependent with the countries' efforts to, among other actions, "protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms", and "achieve broader civic participation of all citizens of the inter-American community." There is heartening reference to gender as a cross-cutting issue, and recognition of the importance of statistics disaggregated by sex; to the review of national social protection, inclusion and poverty eradication programs; and to the encouragement of full and equal participation of women in the political life and decision-making structures of the countries at all levels. Paragraph 19 of the Declaration reiterates the commitment to families and society to protect the rights of children and adolescents, including the right to education and the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, while subsequent text specifically mentions food security, neonatal mortality, non-communicable diseases and their risk factors, drug abuse and illicit drug use, nutrition, and the renewal of primary health care. The International Health Regulations (2005), brought into sharper focus since the 5th Summit by the still-evolving threat of influenza A(H1N1) pandemic, are included, with a specific request for the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to work with and support the countries in their implementation of the Regulations. The HoSG also recognize HIV/AIDS; disabilities; aging; information and connectivity; climate change; and disaster reduction, preparedness, and response as issues, among others, for continuing attention. Paragraph 42 of the Declaration specifically notes the intent of the HoSG to promote, in the regional framework and with support from PAHO and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a review of the feasibility of preparing an inter-American convention on the rights of older persons. The closing paragraphs of the Declaration again reaffirm "full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms", the commitment of the HoSG to promote and protect them, and their support for sustainable development with equity, social inclusion, non-discrimination, and participation. The "engagement of our citizens, communities, and civil society in the design and execution of development policies and programs" will continue to be encouraged. Though no-one can doubt the sincerity and good intentions of the Heads of State and Government, the challenge, as usual, is the implementation of their mandates at national, subregional, and regional levels. PAHO is well-placed, through its technical cooperation programs with the countries of the Americas at those three levels, to play a critical role in not only raising awareness of the Declaration, but also in assisting with the implementation of the mandates. Through its relationship and cooperation with subregional entities such as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Central American Integration System (SICA); its role as the specialized health agency of the Interamerican System; its status as a member of the United Nations system; and its membership in the Joint Summit Working Group (JSWG), PAHO can support strengthened promotion, protection, and fulfillment of the right to the highest attainable standard of health (the right to health) in the countries of the Americas. PAHO's technical cooperation program already includes the areas highlighted by the HoSG; its support will be enhanced by strengthened actions to promote the Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain and the right to health. The countries of the Americas will be well served by PAHO's efforts, at the three levels at which it operates, to facilitate strengthening of intersectoral action, promote greater participation by civil society and other stakeholders in health, and, most importantly, improve monitoring and evaluation of national and development partner actions related to the Summit mandates. Information on the Fifth Summit of the Americas and the full text of the Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain are at http://fifthsummitoftheamericas.org/home.aspx; information on PAHO's human rights and health program is at http://www.paho.org/hq/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=1178&Itemid=643 Submitted by Dr. Beverley Barnett, PAHO/WHO Representative, BelizeSend your comments to us |

I've read some tutorials here. but not all of them,
so i need to know how to do manga panels correctly,
there are some manga panels that i usually see that goes over to the right while the left side of it is just a fine and just align correctly.
I know this is a scan but still...
do i have to know the layout of the book or something to do this kind of paneling?
I've read the all about manga paper tutorial and some other paneling tutorials but it's not there.
