If I am not mistaken, this is an essential service with the CRTC. So you can file a complaint with the CRTC right now. And you should. Or you can just write in an obscure forum. I do believe, and this is going back a few years from when it happened to me, Bell has 48-hrs to fix it and no more (might be 24, but I seem to recall 48). You are well past this.So it do or don't. Up to you to file the complaint.
...The CRTC does not fine Bell for cases like this any longer...
Did eventually get my phone and Internet restored, but it took 12 days for DSL and 3 days for phone. Bottomline it seems, Bell can do whatever the hell they please, and the CRTC just pats them on the back!
if your phone doesn't work, how did u pick up the PHONE to call and complain?
Now the thing is, how the hell do people know if they are in a regulated or unregulated area? What determines that?
Well, I phoned up the CRTC this afternoon to file a complaint. The woman I spoke with said it's no longer their job to receive complains, going as far as saying they do NOT deal with the public (other than to provide general information; the same information that is found on their website). They are there for corporations only.
There is also Videotron (cable) but they only provide VoIP service, which does NOT offer the same reliability as a POTS line. Not even close. Power outage, Internet outage, local router or modem issues....there goes your essential "phone" service down the toilet!
As far as sharing this with the Montreal Gazette, or even these forums, what is that going to do? Little to nothing. I'm just another Bell causality statistic, and one that will fade and be forgotten about in short time.
Just as before, my DSL line card was removed.

5-1-1 Hosta Mix Pine Bark
Sorry I have not been back in the past couple weeks as I said I would, time has just gotten away from me this month. I took a bunch of my larger hosta and made a large bed and planted them in the ground. I mixed a large amount of wood mulch in with the soil along with peat. It was over 300 sqft so it was pretty large to use much else.
I just got in 480 Hosta liners I need to plant up. I had a few dozen that I planted up earlier this month and I just mixed maybe 1:1 bark with some miracle grow I had, I know likely not idea, but I knew the Hosta would have been okay in just the miracle grow, so I figured with the bark they would do better.
The best bark mulch I've been able to get my hands on is called small western bark mulch. It measures about 1/4" thick and the pieces then range from about 3/4" by 3/4" up to about 3/4" by 1-1/2". It is clean and has few fines. This is what I mixed in with the miracle grow. What I used in the gritty mix I made was a little smaller, but very inconsistent, so it not only had to be screened, but had to have many large pieces removed.
I know the size is not what you said was ideal "The best sizes for the 5:1:1 mix are dust to 3/8". The gritty mix works best with bark sized 1/8 - 1/4"." So I'm not even close to the 3/8". I understand why you can't use smaller particles, but am wondering about the slightly larger ones.
As long as the mixture is workable for the size containers I am using, is there a problem using the large bark? I'm not sure where else to look for smaller bark, unless I've missed it somewhere, I've looked at all the normal places, Home Depot, Menards, Stein, Lowes, Walmart, Hardware Stores, and I also checked with SunGro who makes some commercial bark mulch mixes and the only place that sells their mixes within about 100 miles absolutely refuses to sell retail. Due the the volume I need small bags of reptile bark or orchid bark are out of the question cost wise; at least at the prices I've seen. The hydroponics store gets little bags of orchid bark and similar, but again, the cost is very high.
Hope your doing well.
When you use particles that large, mixed with small particles, the medium pretty much retains the properties of the fine particulates. Drainage (flow-through rates) and the height of the PWT will remain almost the same as they were if you were using only the finer ingredients, though o/a water retention will be reduced. All the bark does, in addition to reducing o/a water retention, is reduce the amount of space in the medium that is available for root colonization, which would have to be logged as a negative in the list of cause/effect relationships.
Thanks for your response. I have around 100 Hosta planted in the mix with the larger bark, so now I know they are in a far less than optimal mix. Do you think I am worse off now than if I am just used an out of the bag miracle grow type of mix?
Until I can find the proper pine bark, should I still try this mix with the larger pieces or am I better off going back to a miracle gro product?

New Delhi: Only 14 of the 60-odd recognised political parties in the country have responded to Election Commission`s proposal to ban opinion polls and it will take a decision on the issue after further consultations.
While all the national recognised political parties, barring CPI, have sent their views and suggestions on the issue, only nine regional parties have sent their comments to the Commission.
"We have not got a response from all political parties on opinion polls. We will take a call on the issue only after holding more consultations with parties," Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath told reporters here on Friday.
The Commission had written to all recognised national and state parties to send their views on he proposed ban on opinion polls after the government asked it to hold fresh consultations on the issue.
A number of political parties have responded positively to the EC proposal, with Congress leading the bandwagon in seeking a ban or regulation on opinion polls during the election process.
BJP is the only party which is vehemently opposing the ban saying it would go against the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression.
It has also alleged that the ruling party was favouring prohibition of opinion polls as it feared defeat. The Election Commission proposal has already triggered a major debate on the way opinion polls are conducted as BJP is widely projected by pre-poll surveys to do well in the forthcoming assembly polls and Lok Sabha elections and is thus exploiting it to its advantage.
It has attacked the Congress for its demand saying, a "loser" cannot seek to alter the rules of the game.

text: Ramon Tapia - Sub Shaper (Original Mix) [Say What? Recordings] by Ramon Tapia published on 2013/12/16 12:32:36 +0000 With the "Sub Shaper EP" Ramon Tapia returns to his Say What? mother ship, after a hectic summer schedule. "Sub Shaper" falls just right side of moody, with it's brooding, dramatic tones and bombastic bass. With plenty of jack for your dance floor, it layers percussion in thick layers, driven by unrelenting male vocals and a trademark Ramon Tapia rhythm. "Asteroid" is based on a driving bass line that glues the track together, the mysterious background mood is one of electric weirdness, with searching synths spiraling in the foreground and nagging effects disappearing off into space.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State football creates 'Honor Row' to recognize current and past military at home games
With its first football game of 2014 set for Thursday at Sun Devil Stadium, Arizona State announced the creation of an innovative way to say thank you to those who have served our country.
On Friday, Sun Devil Athletics announced the establishment of an "Honor Row" for all six Sun Devil regular-season football games of 2014, in which 30 tickets per game will be donated to active or former members of the U.S. military.
"It is vitally important that we show an appreciation for the men and women who serve in our military, and it is imperative for our student-athletes to understand that their opportunity to chase their dreams would not be possible without the sacrifices made by the armed services," said ASU head football coach Todd Graham.
The Honor Row, which will be wrapped in maroon and gold camouflage, will be located in the first row of Section 31 on Sun Devil Stadium's east side.
ASU announced that Honor Row attendees will be recognized on the Sun Devil Stadium video board before the playing of the national anthem at each game.
ASU has plans to add Honor Rows for Sun Devil men's and women's basketball home games at Wells Fargo Arena, as well as home baseball games at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.

More proof that John Wall's star is on the rise came Christmas morning courtesy of the NBA.
The Wizards practiced Thursday and are heading to Miami where they'll play the Heat on Friday, but from this point forward the schedule gets significantly tougher.
When it comes to Nene playing in a game, especially those outside of his duties with the Washington Wizards, all observers are focused on one thing: Did he remain in one piece?
Already with his first All-Star Game and playoff appearance under his belt in his fourth season, Wizards point guard John Wall just missed out on a third accomplishment with the All-NBA team.

Employees and customers are an increasingly mobile lot, so developing apps and websites that deliver the goods on the go has become a pressing issue for agencies.
Mobile technology calls for research and planning, preferably in an iterative process that involves early user feedback and testing at key points during the design phase. The goal is to enhance the user experience, which makes adoption and productive use more likely and justifies the cost of development.
In the quest for a better user experience, designers and developers grapple with a number of issues, starting with determining which mobile platform is best suited to the job. Answering that question and those that follow requires a certain amount of homework. But the extra effort could be the difference between a mobile outreach effort and one that stalls.
Why it matters
In an Appcelerator survey of corporate C-level executives and technology managers released earlier this year, 72 percent of respondents said it was likely or very likely that mobile development would outpace traditional Web and desktop development in 2013.
That shift in development, of course, is driven by user adoption of mobile devices. The Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project reported in June that the percentage of American adults who own cell phones passed the 90 percent mark for the first time. The organization noted that 91 percent of American adults own a cell phone (including 56 percent equipped with smart phones), and 34 percent have a tablet computer.
No. 1: Keep an eye on content. Getting the interface design and user experience just right is important, but mobile content deserves its own focus. Nicole Dingess, director of user experience at NavigationArts, suggested that organizations audit their content inventory to find common themes and objects. The content strategy should also take social media channels into account.
And if general software development trends were not enough, government directives have made paying attention to the mobile experience increasingly important for agencies. In May 2012, the Office of Management and Budget issued the Digital Government Strategy, which instructs agencies to mobile-enable at least two customer-facing services and identify best practices for cultivating a mobile-tailored experience.
Agencies can attest to the uptick in mobile activity. In May 2011, the National Cancer Institute's Cancer.gov site reported a little less than 600,000 page views via mobile devices, but by year's end, the mobile tally had surpassed 1 million. That spike in traffic led the agency to create a mobile strategy.
"We've placed a greater priority on the mobilization of our content," said Jonathan Cho, chief of NCI's Communications Technology Branch.
NCI launched its mobile website, m.cancer.gov, last year.
The fundamentals
Organizations seeking to boost the mobile user's experience need to figure out which delivery platform — or platforms — will do the trick. The main options boil down to optimizing a website for mobile users, developing mobile apps or pursuing both paths. In the mobile apps category, further choices include developing an app that is native to a particular mobile operating system (such as Android, iOS or Windows Phone 8) or building a cross-platform app using HTML5.
"Doing everything can be challenging," especially in light of agencies' resource limitations, said John Landwehr, vice president of digital government solutions at Adobe Systems.
Accordingly, an agency might need to consider feasibility before taking on usability.
No. 2: Don't sacrifice testing for the sake of speed. Gavin Lew, executive vice president of GfK User Centric, said agile development's focus on quick code iterations, called sprints, can cut research out of the design picture. "I think that's completely wrong," said Lew, who recommends inserting a usability test every four or five sprints.
Nicole Dingess, director of user experience at NavigationArts, said organizations need to determine what level of commitment they are willing to make when it comes to the maintenance of mobile apps and associated content. For example, apps need to be updated as new versions of mobile operating systems emerge, which is all the more challenging for organizations with apps running on multiple platforms.
"That is a commitment in time and budget that they have to consider," Dingess said.
An agency with limited mobile expertise might be better off focusing on the familiar, at least initially. Doug Brashear, mobile practice director at NavigationArts, said that for most of his clients, a mobile website is the best place to start because website design is something they already know how to do.
Science.gov opted for a mobile website strategy. The online gateway to government science information is governed by an alliance of 19 scientific and technical organizations at 15 federal agencies. The mobile version of the site, m.science.gov, debuted in September 2011.
The alliance chose a mobile website because it did want to limit "the dissemination of the science information to a certain user group or operating system," said Valerie Allen, senior technical information specialist at the Energy Department's Office of Scientific and Technical Information. The office is one of the organizations contributing to the development and management of Science.gov.
The website uses the Wireless Universal Resource File and a set of application programming interfaces to ensure accessibility across platforms and devices, Allen said.
Although Brashear said a stand-alone mobile website is a great way to accommodate on-the-go users, the downside is that the agency ends up with separate Web products serving different users. The approach bifurcates mobile analytics and search engine optimization, he added.
Brashear cited responsive design as the way around the issue and a method for improving the experience for a range of users. The approach provides a single code base that displays an optimized representation of a website based on the type of device accessing it.
"Responsive design is a big area we are going to be looking at," Cho said.
Get the Pew Research Center report on mobile device ownership.
NCI is considering how the approach might fit into the next generation of the organization's Web presence. A review of website analytics prompted NCI's interest in responsive design. Even after developing a mobile website, the agency discovered that a great deal of mobile traffic was still coming to its desktop-oriented website, said Lakshmi Grama, senior digital content strategist at NCI's Office of Communications and Education. Responsive design could improve the experience for those users.
"Every organization should...look at the analytics surrounding the types of devices coming to the primary Web channel," Cho said.
Some situations call for mobile apps rather than mobile websites. Examining frequency of use can help agencies make that decision. Agencies should consider how often the intended users are likely to look for information or perform a certain task. Occasional use might dictate a mobile website strategy, while higher user demand could make a mobile app the better choice.
Landwehr said users might prefer an installable app for sites they interact with on a weekly or daily basis. A mobile app also allows integration with other mobile apps and content, and the ability to interact with calendars, contacts and other mobile device features, he added.
The hurdles
Failure to test a mobile website or app ranks among the top pitfalls of mobilization. Experts recommend testing as a key component of an iterative design process. The idea is to put something in front of users quickly to uncover problems early in the design and development cycle.
"When we design things, we want to make mistakes faster," said Gavin Lew, executive vice president of consulting firm GfK User Centric, citing an observation previously made by former Intel CEO Andrew Grove.
Lew emphasized the importance of testing a design with naive users who fit the target market and are asked to accomplish a particular task. Lew said he believes an effective approach is a moderated, one-on-one usability test where the moderator can observe the user and look for signs of frustration.
No. 3: Plan for the future. Doug Brashear, mobile practice director at NavigationArts, said organizations should not focus their mobile efforts exclusively on the present, but should instead create a plan for the next three years. An agency relatively new to mobile could envision its ideal future state and create a road map for getting there while identifying technical shortcomings to overcome along the way. A strategy, for example, might start with a mobile website and eventually move on to complementary mobile apps.
He said the initial mockup can be quite rough, noting that "fit and finish" should wait for later stages of development. The objective of early testing is to discover which design elements users find perplexing and make the necessary changes in a new iteration.
Projects fail when the coding starts too soon, he added. Listen to what users are saying "so when you start coding, you are coding something that has been iterated a couple of times."
Dingess also cited the importance of predevelopment testing. She said an organization can use a low-fidelity prototype to test a new navigation scheme, labels or feature set with users. Later, the organization can produce a more high-fidelity user interface design for multivariate testing.
Allen said the development of Science.gov's mobile website included a regimen of testing and feedback. "The first step was to provide a review of our audiences and primary user tasks — a 'who' and 'what' exercise with the focus on keeping it simple," she added.
The early testing involved wireframes, which are rudimentary website designs that developers use to spark discussion and initial feedback. Colors, images, font choices, placement, and other navigational and content-driven elements were tested within the bounds of Section 508 compliancy for users with disabilities, Allen said.
The feedback from those early tests was crucial. "Based on the responses, adjustments were made and the design was finalized," she added.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New on DVD/VOD
GEORGES and Anne live a comfortable life of retirement in their Paris apartment. They are in their 80s, but the two former music teachers venture out to concerts and the odd funeral. They read, they cook, they listen to music. They receive visitors, including former students who have become celebrated musicians. They offer tea and sympathy to their daughter (Isabelle Huppert) as she visits from London and vents about her unsatisfactory husband.
It is a good, comfortable life, but one evening over dinner, Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) simply blanks out, failing to respond to an increasingly panicked Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant). The fugue state only lasts a minute, but it will be a turning point in their love story.
This is unexpected material for Austrian writer-director Michael Haneke, whose past work (Funny Games, The White Ribbon) tends to be cerebral and chilly. But it is of a piece with Haneke's ethos. He's a filmmaker who takes long lingering looks at subjects we would rather not consider.
That is the challenge Georges faces as Anne suffers a series of debilitating strokes and becomes increasingly less self-reliant.
Befitting the elderly characters, Haneke paces this story slowly. This is not frustrating because the apartment, where almost the entire movie takes place, is rather magnificent, and the two actors who move through the space are magnificent, too.
Riva (see her younger self in the 1959 film Hiroshima Mon Amour) unflinchingly portrays the physical deterioration of a vital soul without flinching.
Unlike Riva, Trintignant didn't get an Oscar nomination earlier this year, but probably deserved one. In his prime, Trintignant played reticent, close-to-the-vest characters in films such as The Conformist and Z. This movie uses his previously cool screen persona to great effect, as Georges' stoic determination to care for Anne suffers stress fractures that accumulate and result in a scene that is simply shattering.
Yet behind it all, one never forgets the title of the film, and its appropriateness to the subject matter.
In movies, the visual lexicon of love is sex. Haneke offers a different interpretation that should be easily recognized, yet is almost radically subversive by Hollywood standards. ****
Parks and Recreation Season 5
THIS consistently droll sitcom arrives on DVD at the same time as the final season of The Office, sans Steve Carell. The contrast is significant: Where The Office trundled on past its prime, Parks and Rec is comfortably ensconced there.
The cast led by Amy Poehler (as newly elected Pawnee city councillor Leslie Knope) is fine, but the season highlight may be the guest spot by Patton Oswalt in the episode Article Two. Oswalt plays a history buff who launches a "citizen's filibuster" to fight an effort to modernize Pawnee's antiquated laws, and the DVD features Oswalt's brilliant, improvised nine-minute riff -- a nerd's perspective on how the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII should go: "Pan down from the twin moons of Tattooine. We are now close on the mouth of the Sarlaac pit. After a beat, the gloved Mandalorian armour gauntlet of Boba Fett grabs onto the sand outside the Sarlaac pit and the feared bounty hunter pulls himself from the maw of the sand beast..."
OK, that bit is easily accessible online, but the discs also feature a particularly raunchy gag reel of rude outtakes wherein Chris Pratt (Andy) once again proves to be one of the braver cast members. ***1/2

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

John Bolton: There is no United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, and that's the United States. When it suits our interest, and when we can get others to go along. The United States makes the U.N. work when it wants to work, and that is exactly the way it should be, because the only question, the only question for the United States is what's in our national interest. And if you don't like that, I'm sorry, but that is the fact.
Stan Correy: John Bolton is now the US Ambassador to the United Nations, an organisation he's publicly disdained for almost 30 years.Download Audio - 21052006 http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/bbing_2006
John R Bolton may be called 'the ugly American' and be widely disliked, yet his pivotal role as US Ambassador to the UN makes him extraordinarily powerful and important in world affairs. Obsequious, arrogant, doctrinaire and above all, Americanist - but no fool, neocons hope he may save the Bush administration.
Just last week Israel's Supreme court affirmed a law effectively banning a Palestinian from marrying an Israeli citizen, a law so much like the Nazi prohibition of intermarriage with Jews.
This is, quite simply, false. The law you're refering to does not prevent anyone from marrying anyone.
What that law does state is that Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens would not be automatically granted Israeli citizenship.
So first of all, that's hardly a human-rights violation; it's a rule about who can and cannot become an Israeli citizen, and how. Japan, for instance, does not grant a man citizenship if he marries a Japanese woman. Every country has the right to determine who can and cannot gain citizenship, and many do enforce strict laws.
Moreover, you can hardly call that rule unreasonable. The Palestinians are currently at war with Israel. Many of them state their commitment to wiping us out of the face of the Earth. Are we out of line by denying them the ability to become citizens of our country? Can a country not prevent its enemies from gaining its citizenship? I think the answer to these questions is obvious.
And one other important fact. That rule was only established recently. After 5 years of intense conflict, during which 25 Palestinians who gained Israeli citizenship by marriage were involved in suicide bombings againt Israeli population. Each such bombing causes on average 10-30 casualties, and the order of 50-300 wounded. I believe the Israeli people have the right to defend themselves.

The U.S. Supreme Court will not take up the case of a New Mexico photographer who did not want to capture a same-sex wedding because it's against her religious beliefs – but the case may have less to do with religious freedom and more about free speech and government power.
The New Mexico Supreme Court had ruled that the photographer violated a state law that says businesses open to the public cannot discriminate based on race, sex, religion, or sexuality for refusing to take pictures at a lesbian commitment ceremony.
In 2007, Elane Photography, owned by Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin, declined to take photos of the "commitment ceremony" of lesbians Vanessa Willock and Misti Collinsworth. Elane photography told the lesbian couple that it would take portraits of gay couples, but would not photograph a commitment ceremony because that would "require them to create expression conveying messages that conflict with their religious beliefs."
"The message a same-sex commitment ceremony communicates is not one I believe," Elaine Huguenin has said. "If it becomes something where Christians are made to do these things by law in one state, or two, it's going to sweep across the whole United States…and religious freedom could become extinct."
Willock sued Elane Photography under the New Mexico Human Rights Act, and the state human rights commission ruled against the photographers. The state Supreme Court upheld that ruling, which is why the Huguenins, with the help of the group Alliance Defending Freedom, sought relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
But the Huguenins did not rely on a religious freedom argument in asking the Supreme Court to take up the case. Instead, they said in a petition that forcing them to "communicate messages antithetical to [Elaine Huguenin's] religious beliefs … through government coercion" was a violation of the Huguenins freedom of speech because her photography was a form of personal expression.
The Huguenins predicament inspired the creation of laws – most notably in Oklahoma and Arizona – that would grant businesses greater freedoms to decide who to serve. An Arizona law, which was vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer, would have allowed business owners the ability to avoid being sued or punished if they declined to serve a person whose lifestyle violated their religious beliefs.
The Supreme Court did not say why it would not hear the Elane Photography case.

Wow that's a big, very nice looking plant. It's in real danger though I think, from the critter on the left! It looks like it really wants to eat some. May be time to turn it a little to let the other side have some light?
Sorry purple im a little slow on posting, it was about two feet tall and bushy,about two years ago I moved from a house that had a nice side porch with alot of light,to a house that doesn't and about every leaf and branch fell off then about two months later it got all that growth underneth the very top branchs.
I knew that critter looked hungry! Sounds like your plant may be a little older than 10, or it was started from a big cutting. It looks pretty happy there, great job!
Sorry, the gremlins have gotten in this discussion. Ignore them.
Purple, I am SO sorry...
It's very hot; my body and brain are functioning at 104F degrees. lol. Indoors.
Purple is Purple, not Nancy, Purple is Purple, not Nancy. Have to remind myself..lol.
100, I agree with, ahem, Purple, lol. Your Scheff is probably older than 10-years.
100..First, although it's been a long time, 10-years, I'm sorry about the loss of your great-grandmother.
It's difficult, if not impossible figuring out your Scheff's exact age.
You might be able to narrow it down. Depends on how and where it was originally grown, and size when you adopted.
Do you recall original pot size, and Scheff's height/width?
Scheff's are slow-growers. A 1-foot tall Scheff can be anywhere from two to three yrs old.
Was Scheff in your possession the entire 10-years? If so, do you remember amount of growth it put on per year?
But, 100, once again, age depends on the Sheff's original location. If sent from FL, it possibly grew a little faster.
Was it purchase at a private, family-owned business or big-box store? If you're really curious, you might want to phone the business, (don't bother calling big box stores,' ask how old plants are when used for memorial services. Family owned businesses usually keep records.
If purchased in your location, especially from a famly-owned business, you'd have a better chance getting information. Ask to speak to the person in charge of ordering.
Once you find the answer, do some dividing. You should get an approximate age.
It's a lot of work, but if you'd like to know Scheff's age, it's worth it. lol.
100, a few days ago, I had a tap water question. You wouldn't believe the number of places I called.
Today, June 28, an employee from a water dept returned my call. She was so helpful, but unfortunately it was the wrong department. She gave me the right phone number, so tomorrow I call. lol.
If I can do it, you can, considering I'm a chicken..lol.
Good luck, Toni
