...that there has been so much press afforded to anti-child/anti-mum issues over the last couple of days?
I've spent more time than I should have glancing over the hundreds of really nasty responses to breastfeeding in public and then yesterday - a child screaming in a cafe. The amount of hate out there is pretty overwhelming - against the mythical, exhibitionist breastfeeding mother and the child screaming in public for probably less than 2 minutes. I didnt realise there were so many haters out there. These articles really do nothing other than empower more jerks to give parents what-for when they see something they don't think is appropriate. Sad. #2Posted 23 January 2013 - 03:19 PM
The media is just out to make money. They don't report 'news' anymore. Watch ABC or SBS and you'll feel better about it - although maybe about the actual state of the world!
#3Posted 23 January 2013 - 03:20 PM
Not only that but almost every week there is new "research" out telling us what else we are doing wrong.

I totally agree. This country is full of negativity and nastiness and its often over petty and insignificant issues! (Not that I don't have my say, but yes it definitely seems to be all too negative lately!)
There was a nice thread going around the other day about random nice acts from strangers. Could be worth reading and help cheer us up as a society. #6Posted 23 January 2013 - 03:24 PM
Yes. it's really sad.
What I have been most surprised at on Facebook particularly is the amount of other women/mothers who get at each other. Why on earth aren't we just supporting each other. #7Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:02 PM
I agree too. So much hatred over what are essentially trivial issues while things that are genuinely annoying and hateful are ignored or endorsed.
#8Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:36 PM
Yes. It seems misogyny has gone underground and attacks targets that are off-centre of the real issue, which is simply that things are different now and not everyone likes that. I guess you could look on the positive side and say it's another step in the process...

On a positive note, this article made me a bit happier:
http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-...0122-2d51v.html #10Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:45 PM
I think its more people externalising whats inside... people are not overall happy these days, whether it be genuine worries and stresses...or a by product of the over busy lifestyle.. inaccurate sense of entitlement.. or combinations?
there is much to be said about stopping to smell the roses... I note that when I dont... I find little things really bug me and I can be a negative nasty and I pull myself up so as to think hey, really is it worth getting that worked up or being rude to someone else? On a certain FB page people post about random acts of kindness, there is always cynics and knockers commenting that its BS or a company stunt...quite sad really.. to think they must be so miserable themselves... Also I have changed habits and have moved to watching ABC and 7.30 report rather than trash media... #11Posted 23 January 2013 - 05:36 PM QUOTE (KateElwood @ 23/01/2013, 03:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...that there has been so much press afforded to anti-child/anti-mum issues over the last couple of days?

I agree about the breastfeeding but I think the child screaming in the cafe was a perfectly reasonable complaint. According to the article the parents did nothing about a child screaming, frankly you should take a child out if that happens it is totally unreasonable and very rude to ruin everyone else's time (it wasn't a short screaming fit either). I also do not exempt people with kids with special needs either, I have 2 kids with special needs and we didn't go near restaurants and cafe's until they started to behave and we left immediately they played up. So I went without socially, well thats life.

I don't even feel like reading that mamamia one because most things that come off there are drivel. Meanwhile, yes very sad about everything in the news in the last week. Couldn't get to sleep on Monday night thinking how sh*tty people's views are that fester just below the surface.
This house was a glum place for a few days. DH was an academic during the 80's trying to open people's eyes to the inequality suffered by minorities, gays and women. He had been happily plodding along thinking that the 00's was different, that him and his contemporaries had made the world a slightly better place. Nup - people just don't open their mouth about things as much, but the way of thinking remains. Meanwhile there must be just a handful of crazed exhibitionist bf-ers randomly running around the country ripping their shirts off to feed, whilst declaring to an entire food court 'look at me i have my tits out!' I have never seen anything of the sort. #16Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:03 PM QUOTE (Beetlebop @ 23/01/2013, 06:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes.

The open slather comments from big, brave anonymous posters against mothers/women and children in general was beyond belief, and some were even unashamedly violent. I know I shouldn't be surprised at any of this considering the world we live in, but I always am. Oh well I guess it the cyclists turn next week. #17Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:13 PM QUOTE (Beetlebop @ 23/01/2013, 06:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's possible (if not highly likely) that it didn't happen the way the author claimed it did.

I dare say there is a sometimes-journalist out there who is high-fiving herself at writing something soooo controversial (read: a very very soft target) that it pulled in almost 1000 comments in a day. #18Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:37 PM QUOTE (economist99 @ 23/01/2013, 06:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People are jealous of and scared of breeding/mothering/birthing etc etc. The media has to make money and topicality out of nonissues - kind of like TT - choose from their 5 topics 1. dole bludgers 2. useless mums 3. bad neighbours 4. fat pple 5. something xenophobic like China taking over etc Or their favourite, combine the top 2 and a story about bludging single mums. Which is something that is always going to set me off on a rant, I am sick of people assuming I am a bludger because I stay home with my 3 year old.

I fully sympathise with the breastfeeding mum, people need to get a grip.

There are a minority of parents who think it's okay to have a screaming child in a café (or elsewhere) and do nothing about it. I have personally encountered this many times and it makes me cross. I take my kids out for meals, coffee etc... and while it may be annoying to go outdoors when they are misbehaving I do it for the other patrons, my sake and my kids so they can learn how to behave at a meal. Gives us all a bad name. #20 Guest_Sunnycat_*Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:55 PM

Basically I avoid the media at all costs. Commercial media is a joke. I watch the ABC news and some select television shows on ABC and SBS (mostly to do with historic home renovations in England). I hate modern pop culture and everything it represents.
#24Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:26 PM
I'm getting to that place too Dinah.
Maybe if I don't see it so much I can pretend it doesn't exist. #25Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:49 PM
I felt very hurt and offended reading many of the reader comments on the SMH report about the breastfeeding by the pool/ Kochie debacle. I am still shocked that so many people find a mother feeding a baby so disgusting, when I find it so loving and beautiful and natural. I found reading them very personally offensive and made me think back to all the times I've breastfed in public and who might have been watching me and what nasty things they might have been thinking.
I wonder if anyone wrote an article about me. I had a bad experience which involved public breastfeeding and a screaming child in a food court. It was one of the first times I had taken both my kids out on my own (baby was 2 months old) and clearly my timing wasn't great. 2 year old was screaming because she wanted a toy and I said no. I was trying to get to a parents room because baby needed a feed and was starting to cry too. Couldn't get stubborn 2 year old to walk, she was collapsing on the ground mid-tantrum so I just picked her up and pushed pram one handed to nearest table at food court, sat her down at table with some food and started feeding the baby. 2 year old continued to scream and cry while I fed baby. People at nearby tables got up and left. I felt so terrible but I just couldn't manage the situation any other way. Gradually calmed two year old down by talking calmly to her while I fed the baby. When she was calm and baby fed, we got up and left. Avoided eye contact with everyone. I still feel bad about that today, and wonder what everyone thought of me. I'm sure there were plenty of disapproving onlookers 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Social Media: How Not To Fool Your Audience
Unlike April Fool's Day where the focus is on pranks and practical jokes, for marketers, social media is about honesty—showing who you, your product, your brand and your organization are.
While it's acceptable, and even encouraged, to participate in amusing social media based memes and content, the unwritten social media rules focus on transparently respecting your audience—specifically your prospects, customers, employees, investors and the public.
Social media is the antithesis of the pushy used car salesman or the late night DRTV pitch. It's about building person-to-person relationships.
Social media provides forums that enable customers and the public to find the information they need, when they want it. Google research calls this the zero moment of truth (or ZMOT) and it often occurs before companies realize that a prospect is in market for their offering.
10 Unwritten social media rules: How not to fool your audience
Here are 10 unwritten social media rules. They're the opposite of the social media 10 commandments.
These 10 points show you how not to fool your prospects, customers, employees, investors and the public on social media. Many of these points extend beyond social media platforms because they're just good business practices.
- Don't oversell your product. Be honest about what your product or service can do and can't do. If you exaggerate your products' capabilities, other customers won't when they give their point of view on social media and related ratings and review sites. Actionable Social Media Tip: Portray your products clearly in both text and visual content. Provide multiple views as well as customers using your product in live situations.
- Don't withhold important information. Don't hide relevant facts customers, end users, investors and the public need to make educated decisions about your company, products and brands. Actionable Social Media Tip: Provide all of the content that your target audiences need in an easy-to-consume format.
- Don't use bait and switch pricing. Be transparent in your pricing. Skip the hidden pricing, add costs, and/or shipping fees. Pricing is a sensitive area that can have legal repercussions. Actionable Social Media Tip: Know that your prospects check prices again before buying. They may use a variety of different sites and apps to gather information.
- Don't fool customers by playing with inventory and stocking issues. Don't offer a very low price that's limited to a small number of items relative to the size of your potential buyer base. Actionable Social Media Tip: Clearly state when your product availability is limited. Also, note whether you'll extend the lower price when stock is replenished or offer a rain check. Another alternative is to use stock counters.
- Don't play hide and seek with your customer service. Since many prospects and customers turn to social media for customer service, state your hours of availability. Actionable Social Media Tip: Include links on your social media profiles to your FAQs and related product information.
- Don't obfuscate your returns policy. Define your returns policy clearly in plain English. Actionable Social Media Tip: Include the time limit for returns, the form of payment refund (credit to charge card, cash or other options), and reasons for non-refundability (such as personalization or other adjustments).
- Don't hide from problems. Wishing your company issues will just disappear doesn't translate to solutions. Social media interactions can go bad. Actionable Social Media Tip: Monitor what's being said on social media and have a PR crisis plan ready.
- Don't confuse customers with different firm names and branding. While there may be legal or business reasons for having different legal entities or brands, don't intentionally try to fool your audience. Actionable Social Media Tip: Note your corporate affiliates in your social media profiles. Also, have employees be clear when they're posting and supporting your organization versus when they're representing your firm.
- Don't conceal product affiliation or compensation. Don't write rave reviews without revealing that you received free samples or other vendor compensation. Beyond social media, this applies to a wide range of rating and review sites. More than fooling your prospects, this is illegal. Actionable Social Media Tip: Clearly note where you benefit from the company connection. Also explain the positives as well as the negatives. Know that your customers can tell a planted review, especially if it stands out from the pack.
- Don't follow other deceitful social media practices. This means earn your social media followings through on-going efforts not paying for followers and other fakes. Actionable Social Media Tip: Cross promote your social media presence on your other owned media and communications to expand your reach.
On social media you must be honest, open and transparent with your prospects, customers, employees, investors and the public. Otherwise, you'll tarnish your reputation and hurt your bottom line.
What other ways should marketers not fool their customers on social media?

Tenneco's Projections For Total OE Revenue Through 2017 (Graphic: Business Wire)
Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) today announced revenue guidance for 2013 and 2014. The company's revenue guidance is based on projected customer production schedules and industry forecasts.
For 2013, IHS Automotive forecasts that global OE light vehicle production will be up 3% in the regions where Tenneco operates. Full-year production is estimated to increase year-over-year in North America (up 3%), China (up 9%), South America (up 4%) and India (up 8%), while estimates show a 3% decline in European industry production. In 2013, according to Power Systems Research, class 4-8 on-road commercial vehicle production in Europe and North America is expected to be essentially flat year-over-year, and up 31% in South America. The company anticipates little industry volume recovery during the year in the commercial vehicle off-road market.
Full-year estimates indicate an overall improving production environment in 2013. However, as Tenneco indicated in its last earnings call, macroeconomic uncertainty remains relatively high and while good full-year revenue growth is expected, it will be weighted toward the second half of this year. Additionally, the current effective implementation date for China's pending commercial vehicle emissions regulation is July 2013; however, there is a great deal of uncertainty around actual implementation. Consequently, Tenneco's revenue estimates reflect a conservative estimate of growth in this market although it remains a very significant opportunity as installation rates increase in the future. With this level of overall global uncertainty, Tenneco is providing its revenue guidance as a range instead of a specific estimate.
In 2013, Tenneco expects its total OE revenue to be in the range of $6.4 billion to $6.8 billion including commercial vehicle revenue of $.9 billion to $1.1 billion. This growth will be driven by the company's excellent position on light vehicle platforms globally and leveraging higher light vehicle volumes in North America, South America and China. Tenneco's commercial vehicle business will have a relatively quiet year in launches with the main launches occurring later in the year in preparation for regulatory changes taking place in 2014. As a result, commercial vehicle revenue in 2013 will be primarily driven by the strength and timing of any industry volume recovery without any significant changes to customers, programs or content.

Build Log
F-16 Build Thread
This is a build thread for my EDF depron F-16 Falcon. Ill show exactly how I made my own bird, and will share the plans a little later so you can make one too. Ive attached a few pictures showing the bird as it looks today. But if you were following my original thread you wont notice anything new. Same story goes for this video, this video, this video, this video, this video, and this even older video. I wish I could show some ROG video, but every attempt to film has been kyboshed by the wind, rain or both.
Update: Here is the link to the plans. And here is a link to an alternate graphic for the exhaust nozzle. |
Jun 08, 2005, 09:39 PM | |
I strongly recommend buying a plastic model of the F-16. 1/72 scale is good. I bought a Thunderbirds F-16 for around 15 bux, complete with decals, so I had a GREAT frame of reference.
You should also download THIS file from airwar.ru. It is a 3 view of the F-16, and will help you with the placement of the canopy, ventral fins, rudder etc. I personally recommend blowing it up to full size and placing it on the wall, but this is not strictly necessary. Finally, have Kinkos print out the plans for you, or tape the tiled version together. (I know these files are coming!!) |
Jun 08, 2005, 10:48 PM | |
Now you need to shape the F-16's distinctive mouth. You haven't removed the film yet, right? You'll need to re-heat the piece underwater and gently squeeze the shape you're after. Use the airwar.ru file (linked above) as your reference. Remember that the outside of the shape you are forming will eventually become the INSIDE of the duct; so be sure to bend those outside corners SHARP. And be careful that you don't split the film.
But let's say you can see that the film IS starting to split. Don't worry, all you need to do is apply some of the fiber reinforced tape to the problem area. Just do this before it splits wide open, or you'll need to spackle the crack later on. Again, even if the "worst" happens, just chalk it up to a learning experience, since this piece CAN be spackled without creating unsightly results. Later on, you'll be glad you had the practice. |

...Anyone on the forum have one of these. I just bought one but the weather has been so terrible I haven't had the time to get to the range to run it through it's paces. If you've got one share with me your experience & thoughts.
Picked it up last week but in the same boat as you the weather hasn't been warm enough yet, but planning on going to the indoor range at the LGS this week. All I have is a few pics and I'm guessing you saw the yellow ammo recommendations tag? Luckly I picked up the right ammo before reading the manual. I do like the red and green fiber optic sights, it has a strong front sight acquisition with the two colors which makes them very quick to line up on target. I'll check back in a couple days ounce I get to the range. Congrats on the new plinker with some attitude
Here is a link with some more info on the PMR's =KTOG KTOG Forum - Official PMR-30 ammo recommendation.
For the most reliable functioning of your PMR-30.
Kel-Tec Recommends:
-CCI Maxi-Mag 40grain
Kel-Tec Recommends NOT using:
-Armscor 40gr
-Fiocchi 40gr
-Any other NON-US made ammunition
...rson63...Do let me know how things work out at the range. All I've bought is the CCI. I had some from 2 years ago, plus I've stocked up on a bunch since I purchased the gun.
...The gun feels cheap. Has the look of a Nitendo video-game gun. A lot of plastic for the money. I only paid $347 for mine. The thing that sold me on the gun was the idea of having 30 rounds of mag ammo, with light recoil. I had read some articles on the weapon, then went shopping at two local gun stores, but neither one had one in stock. A few weeks later, I went to this other gun store to buy some ammo, and lo and behold, there it was behind the glass. Obviously I bought it. Now, if I could only get to a range and fire it.
Glad you found one, they are had to come by here. It is on my short-list. I hope it works out well for both of us.

Got up to the range today to put the PMR threw it paces, ended up putting 200 rounds of CCI down range with only a couple small issues. The first issue if not both were my doing, when getting comfortable with my grip I released the heel mag release and the gun didn't cycle. One of the mags was a lot harder to load than the other and started to bind with only ten plus rounds, I did end up getting 30 in but should of left out the last five. Because halfway threw the mag the bullets didn't move up with every shot and were stuck about half way down. It only happend ounce so I'm going to say it was my doing the gun is very accurate the trigger is very smooth and light I'm guessing under 4 pounds. Don't think you'll be disapointed in this fun little range gun, hopefully somebody is working on a mag loader and some upgraded mags. Going back with some other ammo in a few days see if I'm still having the same issue with the one mag. Good luck with yours let us know how it goes.
...Thanks for the report. The weather here is still very wet & cold. Still haven't been able to get to the shooting range. I'm reluctant to go because the place where I shoot is a long gravel road with hugh potholes & mud-holes to drive through. Some of those mud-holes feel more like a sink hole. The range itself is just a big pool of water & mud.
...Well I finally made it to the range today. I had two new guns to try-out, a KelTec PMR 30 and a Bersa Thunder 380.
> The PMR 30 was a real blast to shoot. Very accurate, light recoil, very confortable gun in your hand. I put 150 rounds through it and had two FTF's which were probably my fault when loading the mags. I never put more than 25 rounds in the mags, only because I noticed as I would try to put more in and casing on the CCI ammo was creasing...I just felt maybe I should back off stuffing too many rounds in the mag.
...I'm really glad I bought the PMR 30 it honestly exceeded my expectations. I've heard others having issues with theirs and I was expecting maybe the same, but not so. The PMR is a much better gun to fire, than it looks cosmetically (it looks like a video game gun). I'm very happy with its performance and it's a KEEPER.
> The Bersa Thunder 380 was dead on. Really great handgun. Very comfortable in the hand, the fixed sights were accurate, another keeper for me. My only problem with it was that my Bersa came with only one mag that holds 6 rounds...that's a bummer. I believe Bersa makes a model with a 14 round double-stack mag. For firing range purposes that would be the model to get. With mine I found myself doing a lot of mag loading. I've got to buy at least two more mags for this 380.
...I give two thumbs up for both weapons. I'm thrilled to own them.
It's on my to buy list, but for now the dealers in my area that get one are asking $100. over MSRP, I can wait until the market is satisfied...

My friend got in on the reserve sale at Buds, and bought 4 to resell on GB, and keep one for himself. Looks like it will be a great little gun...
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Guess with 30 rounds they are not legal in CA or NYS???
"6 P's of self defense "
Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
From what I've read " Not transferable to civilians in California, District of Colombia, or Massachusetts. Since 30 round magazines are restricted to law enforcement in Aurora IL, Chicago, Oak Park IL, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and South Bend IN, $10 off and freight paid but no magazines for civilian buyers."
That is a pretty cool and unique gun, never seen one in person but the videos I've seen make it look like great fun to shoot. Definitely a range toy and not a practical carry gun or caliber, and .22WMR is not priced like .22LR, it is more like .40 S&W. I put this and the FiveseveN into the category of "cool, but not practical, belongs in a large collection" category.

House subcommittee pushes forward GOP plan to repair USPS
A House subcommittee markup of a bill to address the Postal Service's financial problems broke down along partisan lines. Democrats accused Republicans of using this legislation to weaken labor provisions. Republicans said Democrats would prefer bailing out the agency rather than making it sustainable. The bill now goes to the full House Oversight and Governmental Reforms Committee.

There's nothing "new" about the hottest exercise trend to sweep the world of men's and women's fitness.The Pilates Method has exploded in popularity in recent years. It has swept across Asia, North America and Europe. It's a type of exercise that was developed in the early 20th century by a German national named Joseph Pilates, with simple methods and fantastic results.
Joseph Pilates developed this exercise form, naming it "The Art of Contrology". It is a basic program that uses the mind to control the muscles. That simple idea eventually evolved into a far more complex exercise program, with focus on the core postural muscles. Fans of Pilates exercise believe that these core muscles support the spine and help balance the body. As World War I raged on, Joseph Pilates was one of a group of German nationals placed under forced internment in Lancaster, England. As a trained nurse, Mr. Pilates was investigating ways to rehabilitate bed-ridden victims of the 1918 influenza epidemic. Taking all that he had learned in those twenty years of self-study, Joseph Pilates applied his vast knowledge of yoga, Zen and ancient Greek and Roman physical regimens to create a series of movements. These specialized movements could be practiced within the confines of the controlled war-torn environment. Pilates' fellow camp members learned the movements and concepts, and the original system of exercises, now known as "mat work" was born. Even in the cramped quarters that they shared, Pilates and his fellow WWI detainees could easily perform this initial exercise regimen of "contrology". The Pilates Method is more than a combination of physical movements. It was created from the belief that physical health cannot be gained without mental health, and vice-versa. That's why so many people believe that Pilates is actually a method of total body conditioning. The movements and physical practices strengthen the body while emphasizing proper alignment, concentration, precision, centering, control, breathing and flowing movements. Now, even decades later, these basic principles remain the major factors of the modern Pilates Method. Of course, physical exercise was an important element of Mr. Pilates' concept, but this aspect differed from traditional regimes. Rather than performing each exercise with a series of repetitions, Joseph Pilates developed a program of precise movements requiring form and control. Pilates designed over 500 of these very specific exercises to be included in his Pilates Method. The movements used most frequently are the Pilates 'mat work' exercises. These involve a series of callisthenic motions performed on a padded mat, without using apparatus or added weights. Joseph Pilates followed up the development of his initial mat work exercises by designing five major pieces of unique exercise equipment. These, he claimed, would provide optimal results. The two components of the Pilates Method are often taught and practiced individually now, but the original Pilates Method combined both equipment exercises and mat work. Most of the exercises involved in the Pilates Method were developed to create awareness of neutral alignment of the spine. These exercises also strengthen the deep postural muscles that support this alignment, playing a vital role in preventing or alleviating back pain. Gravity Pilates is a relatively new development in the modern Pilates Method. People who practice gravity Pilates believe that the abdomen, lower back and buttocks make up the body's "powerhouse". When these areas are strengthened and supported, the rest of the body can move about more freely. Many people seeking physical fitness and rehabilitation use modern Pilates. While it is a popular exercise program of choice for fitness buffs and Hollywood's elite, the Pilates Method is also used by physical therapists as a rehabilitation exercise. Those practicing Pilates use their own bodies as "weights" to train their bodies and increase strength and flexibility. While there is nothing "new" about the Pilates Method, the program continues to gain popularity as more and more people discover its many benefits.

Welcome to the Stewards' Corner, where you will find explanations of the decisions that our stewards make on race days. Directly following any decision they make having to do with the official order of finish, including inquiries and objections, the stewards – one appointed by The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA), one appointed by the New York State Gaming Commission, and one appointed by The Jockey Club (TJC) – provide an explanation of what happened and the reason for their decision. Click on the links below to read those explanations.
RACE 7: Steward's inquiry and jockeys objection into the stretch run. The # 13 Happy Bull ( D. Cohen ) shifts out under a left handed crop after passing the 1/16th pole and makes contact with the # 1 Fiscal Stimulus (J Lezcano ) forcing him out several paths. After reviewing the video and in the judgment of the stewards it did cost the # 1 a placing so # 13 was disqualified from first and placed 2nd behind the # 1.
4035.2. Foul riding penalized. (a) When clear, a horse may be taken to any part of the course provided that crossing or weaving in front of contenders may constitute interference or intimidation for which the offender may be disciplined. (b) A horse crossing another may be disqualified, if in the judgment of the stewards, it interferes with, impedes or intimidates another horse, or the foul altered the finish of the race, regardless of whether the foul was accidental, willful, or the result of careless riding. The stewards may also take into consideration mitigating factors, such as whether the impeded horse was partly at fault or the crossing was wholly caused by the fault of some other horse or jockey.

So, this happened.
Foodies in Toronto have been tracking celebrity chef Guy Fieri's every move since he arrived in the city last week to shoot an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The spiky, blond-haired TV personality was visiting a number of local joints, but he was also joined by a local celeb – Drizzy Drake.
An Instagram photo appeared online of the two wearing chef's coats and cooking in an unknown kitchen. Naturally, we were jealous that we weren't invited. We like food, we like Drake – this is quite possibly the best thing ever.
For more on this, stay tuned for a future episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to see where exactly the two were cooking up a storm.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Did Harper lose, or is it a win in disguise?
When is a loss not a loss?
On Friday, to virtually no one's surprise, the Supreme Court of Canada opined fundamental changes to the way we select senators or limit their terms cannot be affected without the support of seven provinces totalling at least 50 per cent of our population. Further, abolishing the Senate would require support from all provinces.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who asked the Supreme Court for its opinion on the matter, sounded unusually resigned about the top court's decision.
"I think given the Supreme Court has said we're essentially stuck with the status quo for the time being, and that significant reform and abolition are off the table, I think it's a decision that I'm disappointed with but I think it's a decision that the vast majority of Canadians will be very disappointed with," Harper said.
Of course, that's not what the Supreme Court said in its decision. It only reminded the prime minister that fundamentally changing our system of government by eliminating the upper chamber is something that requires strong provincial direction and, ultimately, approval. And perhaps that a change like this shouldn't be easy.
Senate reform could be one of Harper's hallmark accomplishments if he wanted to bring the first ministers together and talk. But he won't, because it's just too much work.
At first blush, it appeared just another crushing blow for a government that is consistently wiffed when it comes to recent decisions from the top court.
On the one hand, it's not hard to imagine the Tories fuming at the insolence of the courts for repeatedly derailing their legislative agenda. It's entirely possible, however, Harper not only didn't expect to win this Senate challenge, but didn't want to.
Reforming or abolishing the Senate is so much work, and virtually no one with a modicum of knowledge about the Constitution thought Harper was going to get a green light to expunge the Senate with a bill and a majority mandate in the House of Commons.
So, perhaps the prime minister expected to lose.
This is, after all, a man who leads a party and government that has a lot to gain by fencing with the Supreme Court. Core Tory supporters hate the courts in general and the Supreme Court in particular. Defeat has only solidified his credentials as a martyr to the populist cause.
If the Tories have calculated that, even in defeat, they can be winners in the hearts and minds of their fiercest supporters, then the past two months have been quite the success story. The Conservative government has now been turned back five consecutive times by the top court on a variety of different legislative or administrative matters.
In March alone, the Supreme Court upheld challenges to legislation that attempted to limit early access to parole for non-violent offenders and to force convicts to go through a laborious Federal Court process to challenge prison transfers. The court also rejected the appointment of Justice Marc Nadon to its bench, determining he was ineligible under current rules.
The hits kept coming in April when, in another unanimous decision, the court rejected a bid by the Tories to curb the judicial practice of awarding 1.5 days' credit for time served in custody prior to sentencing.
Two months, five rejections by the Supreme Court. It's enough to make you wonder if the Conservatives have grown tired of the rule of law.
Governments regularly vet draft legislation to ensure, in the interests of all citizens and the traditions of democracy, it does not violate any aspect of the Constitution or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Sometimes, the vetting process involves getting a Supreme Court opinion, especially when particularly muddy issues are at stake. However, this is not the track record of a government using the courts for guidance on legislative matters. The Tories keep throwing their best pitches at the top court, and the justices keep fouling them off.
There is no doubt this government would prefer to eliminate all pre-sentencing credit for convicts, take away their rights to oppose prison transfers, or possibly eliminate parole altogether. As for appointments to the top court, it's hard not to conclude Harper would dearly like to see men and women with a much more liberal (pun intended) interpretation of what the Constitution allows and doesn't allow.
Even so, this record seems like a no-lose proposition for Harper. In fact, Harper looks and sounds like a man who has already calculated the political benefits of losing to the courts as we head toward a 2015 fall election.
When is a loss not a loss? When you can bundle together a bunch of small setbacks and mould them into a potent political strategy. And that's a win.

Collie Coloring Page
Collies are a breed of dogs that originated in Britain as sheep dogs. Known for their intelligence and agility, they are adept at following orders and herding large flocks of sheep. Collies are often so smart that they become distressed if they are not placed in a stimulating environment and kept active. For this reason, they make excellent work dogs and companion animals. Lassie is an example of a famous collie. Color in this border collie and give her a name!

Girls track & field: Farmington's Lorencz wins two golds
Before last weekend, no Farmington girl had ever won a state track and field championship.
That changed Friday morning when Nadia Lorencz followed up last spring's runner-up finish in the long jump by winning the event with a leap of 17 feet, 11 3/4 inches at the Class AA State Meet at Hamline University in St. Paul.
The leap was three inches better than the 17-8 3/4 turned in by runner-up Tatyana Pashibin of Southwest.

Same here. I got a minivan from the Emerald Aisle for 3/13 to 3/20. I DID get a receipt from the garage person for the $204 that I expected. The email receipt that was sent to me was much like yours. It showed the quoted price of $204 with a balance due of approximately the same amount. My Amex was charged only the $204. I sent a question to National by email to make sure there would be no additional charge and was told that the $204 was correctly charged to me and there would be no more charges.
What is the most convenient car rental place at the Orlando airport? We aren't using ME this trip because we are doing the beach and SeaWorld before Disney. We thought of Budget and dropping it off at the hotel near DTD but it cost more for 3 days than a week if we drop it back at the airport. The last time we rented, we had to take a shuttle and it took forever to rent the car. Are any right in the Airport?
I cancelled my previous reissue with National using this code and booked Budget Wendie code. Even tho I booked a compact vs Emerald aIsle, the reports after using this code scared me!!!! Plus Budget is cheaper
I've had "charges" for upgrades on the executive aisle. National immediately handled the issue and I've never had them, refuse to honor a quote.
I am an EC member and checking it online reflects the same amount owed as the e-mail receipt. It's still showing the same online now and it's been almost two weeks. No extra charge on my credit card yet and I have the e-mail from National that says I won't be charged so I'm not that worried about it anymore.
I just booked used the same code for a week in October at MCO. $203, approximately the same rate I just had for a midsize for a week. I'm hoping that the National rates will be lower by then but if not, I have this reservation.
I definitely would keep checking that Oct. reservation. It could drop dramatically by then. Oct. is NOT a heavy travel month and there are usually some great deals to be had.
We had friends use the code at MCO yesterday (3/25) with no problems. We go down 4/4 and I'll report back after that.
I rebooked this offer plus I used the Mousesaver coupon for $35 off. I just love to pick the car I want to drive..... The thought of Budget picking it was bothering me I printed out my KLM card and the quote, so I am prepared!!!! Thank u Dis'ers
We picked up a car from Orlando on the Emerald Aisle using this code on Saturday, March 25th. Our receipt they gave us when we checked out at the airport shows the same price as our online reservation - so I think we're good to go. I had a copy of my flying blue membership - no one asked to see it, though. I only had to show my emerald club card, and my drivers license.
We have this code booked for April 17th...just wondering if their are any updates from anybody that has used it? Thanks Lori
We returned last week after using this code for a 10 day rental. No issues whatsoever! I was not asked for my Flying Blue membership info (I had it) and the price on my receipt was the same as my reservation. This is one of the best codes that is absolutely legit!
I reserved and received a minivan using this code with no issues on Saturday, April 7th. We picked a minivan, loaded our luggage, drove up to the exit booth, added a driver and drove off.
I have read it was hard to cancel these ressies so I was holding off. I checked today and the rates are up $50 for the week 5/5-5/12.(from $176 to $225) Ouch!!!..I snooze -I lose. Hopefully they will go back down or I will need to try something else. We are using MME so we are not renting at MCO. Any help would be appreciated.

The hotel was a great alternative to a hotel on the strip. The price was much lower and the frequent shuttle made it easy to get to the strip. The pool was nice and there were so few people that we were able to do laps. Free Wifi was included.
Breakfast was not included, but it was reasonably priced.
