Good answer Mr Harper,
It is a huge advantage if people who would normally vote against you were told to attend a different polling station to vote , and therefore not get to vote.
there have been over 31,000 complaints to Elections Canada, from over 40 ridings....
this is no little operation, this needed massive organization and funding....not the odd local campaign's endeavour....
the scripts of the robocalls needed to be drafted by someone too....
the conservatives made it seem like the liberals were doing this to their own supporters....makes no sense at all
full enquiry needed....
Let's see: the Liberals deliberately antagonized their own supporters so they could not vote Liberal, resulting in a Conservative victory, so the Liberals could then claim the Conservatives played dirty.
Buford, you're just as incoherent posting here as you are at CBC.ca.
Untrue. That accusation by Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro, the parliamentary secretary to the Prime Minister was debunked with DDM being forced into an apology of sorts on the CBC.
Prime Contact Research of North Dakota, the company linked by Del Mastro to the Liberals was confused with PrimeContact, the company actually used by the Liberals.
DDM got it wrong again.
Simple solution: Appoint a new investigation by Judge Gomery. The opposition has called for this - why have Harper and his conservatives opposed this? What do THEY have to hide?
If the Conservatives have done nothing wrong they should want a full investigation by the most respected judge in Canada or, if he has decided to retire, Canada's most respected political watchdog Shelia Frasier (who was replaced by the Conservatives...hmmm).
Yes, all of these complaints were submitted to Elections Canada months ago. What has set off the powder keg is the findings that there weren't just a few dirty tricks in local ridings, but that it happened in a coordinated fashion in key ridings across the country. In other words, that the thousands of complaints of dirty tricks had merit.
It also follows on a guilty plea by the Conservative Party in the "in and out" case, after years of court battles and protestations of innocence.
There is a lazy distinction here between robocalls and phone banks with live people, and there were both.
In St. Boniface, Winnipeg South Centre and other ridings there were calls from people at weird hours claiming to be Liberals, calling from a phone number located in North Dakota. These happened at the midway point of the campaign. Complaints were registered, but Elections Canada never gets to these things until after the fact, which is part of the appeal of dirty tricks: by the time they are uncovered the results are in, and there is nothing the wronged party can do.
There was no way of knowing how widespread it was, or that it may have been part of a centrally coordinated fraud across dozens of ridings, until the revelation that some of the calls were tied to a company with Conservative connections and a tossed cellphone paid for with cash and a phony name.
One is from Racknine, based in Edmonton, which does automated calls. Another is RMG, which has a number of call centres with live people. RMG not only had operators who admitted they were calling on behalf of Elections Canada, but they work exclusively for "right-leaning" parties.
In fact, the Conservative party has outsourced its membership and fundraising functions as well as voter ID to RMG.
Their own website says they were contracted by the Conservatives to build their membership, ID the vote between elections, and fundraise for the past 8 years. One of the people who runs RMG worked in the Mulroney PMO, was fired by Gordon Campbell for dirty tricks against the NDP, hired by Mike Harris, and given an award by Preston Manning for raising $75-million for the Conservatives.
It is one thing to pull your own vote. It is something else entirely to pose as elections officials or members of another party in order to stop people from voting. It is not how elections should be run or won.
1) After a typical federal election there are perhaps 250 complaints.
There are now 31,000 complaints and counting for the May 2, 2011 election.
2) The critical evidence is based on calls that were recorded by receipients and saved on their computers, so yes, the recall is pretty good.
I go back a fair ways in terms of Canadian political awareness. I can(fairly) vividly remember great political debates in the house and some truly funny moments because of the wit, passion, and intelligence of Dief.. His worthy opponents included many great liberals such as Pearson.
With this current situation, it looks to me like the Conservatives are not holding the high ground. Probably that award would go to Rick Mercer and his robo-call rant.
I long for the days when being called a Conservative was a reason for pride. Lately not so much. It would help somewhat if at least one or two MPs would do more than blind allegiance to the talking points and lip-service to a real investigation because as constituents many of us are re-thinking our future votes.
One could argue authoritarian repression gets a subtle expression in Canada.
-Secret deals between like-minded political leaders: the HST in BC, for instance.
-Prorogation of parliament to quash scrutiny and debate.
-Hidden agendas on healthcare, OAP, pipelines, military weapons, prisons, etc. replace public debate before / during elections.
-Deliberate political planning to manipulate election financing; vote suppression.
Our story will persist as long as our streets remain empty.
Shame on us.
As a Canadian and as a former official agent for the Progressive Conservative party, I am ashamed.
In the lection for which I served as official agent (responsible for all spending) we were defeated by a more capable more experienced Liberal. That night, after some tears we had a good party, knowing that we had done the best we could and lost honestly.
Now, disrupting voting at seniors' facilities, telepone calls **not** from Elections Canada, and other dirty tricks.
We seem now to be on the same continuum as politics in Russia. Fortunately, we are at the other end of the United Russia Party end of that continum, but it is very disconcerting.
The tone is set at the top.
Yep, we are going to spend our limited funds on willfully alienating our own supporters. Ya. That is exactly what we over at the liberal party would do.
Quit drinking to kool-aid. Blind belief in what your party tells you is not healthy
No matter who the culprit is, by election should be held in the problematic ridings to re-establish the legitimity of the concerned MPs. It doesn't matter if the result don't change much, it should be a matter of principles.
It's best for all of us if we keep the private lives of politicians out of it. Vikileaks, while truthful, was thus counter to the custom of Canadian politics, and Rae rightly cracked down. But it is certainly not illegal.
What the Conservatives are accused of is fraud. Impersonating an official of Elections Canada is explicitly a crime. Impersonating an employee of another political party (or company!) is fraud, and actionable in civil court. Deliberately deceiving a voter so that (s)he can't vote is a civil rights violation.
The consequences of this behaviour must be made to far outweigh any possible benefit, in order to nip this toxic behaviour in the bud.
How is a ministers private life in an way something that either matters or should be reported on. Just because you disagree with legislation does not mean you should condone the private lives of politicians being drug into the gutter. While it was not illegal it was reprehensible, and does demonstrate that the culture of ends justifying means stretches across party lines.
Allegations of Liberal involvement are purely spin at the moment. it is a government desperate to change the conversation right now.
The author mentioned vickyleaks in the context of all parties in Canada believing that the ends justify the means, not that the two acts are just as bad.
Also courts will only overturn the election is the voter fraud could have changed the result, so in many of the cases where one party or the other won by one thousand or more votes it will not get overturned.
"It's not just that this is US style politics"
Typical Canadian. if something in Canada goes wrong, it's blamed on the US which did it first.
It's no wonder that Canada is largely run by US branch plants and US retail chains. The narrow mindedness of Canadians who cannot take responsibility for their own ills makes for a very incompetant nation. Canadians are very free with their pointing and waggling fingers - at everybody but moi.
If Canada hadn't been located next to the economic behemoth to the south which buys 75% of their exports, it would be a Portgugal. And that is probably doing a disservice to Portugal
Frankly, it's hard to see how this warrants any kind of inspection beyond the investigation by Elections Canada. As a 'dirty trick' it seems a little toothless in terms of political advantage. If the phone rings and there is a pregnant pause after you answer odds are it is a telemarketer. Me, I hang up. If it is a recording I hang up. Do other people actually stay on the line and listen?
I guess some must given the total recall of some people eight months after the call. If the opposition has any real evidence beyond the allegations they would have turned it over to the RCMP or Elections Canada by now. That they are only calling for a Royal Commission to investigate suggests its just press fodder.
I'm not a harper fan, but there are a lot of whining canadians here claiming his government was only chosen by 18% of eligible voters and doesn't represent canada. The canadian electoral system has been pretty much the same for decades and this accusation would apply to every government in history. If you feel the current system is unrepresentative then start a movement for electoral reform. Maybe the alternative vote system like Australia's would work.
You've been duped, Economist. The evidence, such as it exists, consists of hearsay from bitter campaign workers from losing campaigns, and the "false memory syndrome" afflicted, who are, at the prompting of a preposterously and unanimously anti-Conservative media, suddenly recalling alleged robocalls from 10 months ago.

Comments about Trend Micro TITANIUM Maximum Security 2014 for Windows (1-3 Users) [Download]:
put this on my home computer and every evening it immediately starts downloads when I open the computer eating up 50% of the CPU and a large amount of memory substatially slowing a dual core machine. I checked with support and there is no way to schedule (delay) the updates. I'm going back to Kaspersky which does "work in the background". Prior bad experiences with Norton altering the registry with renew "reminders" - they are the worst. More than an hour after awakening this computer and Trend is still eating up more than 50% CPU time slowing everything down (and it keeps trying to turn on User Account Controls (Vista))
Would you recommend this product? No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Quote: 5/7/11
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
Dr. Robert Schuller
"None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm."
...Henry David Thoreau
There was a 20-some young man headed for the bank entrance slightly ahead of some older folks yesterday. I watched as he hesitated at the door, wanting to come in unfettered, but seeing the right thing to do meant waiting to hold the door. From my position, I saw the options play across his face. He resigned himself to holding the outer set of doors and as they gratefully came through, he slowed even more and held the inner set, also.
Since I'd seen he had had to CHOOSE the right thing to do,
I gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good job, young man!"
as he passed by me.
When he came out, he practiced becoming an adult once more.
He said to me, "You have a good day, Ma'am."
I thought to myself,
"His Mom received TWO Mother's Day gifts today."
When you smile at another, you not only take a load off their shoulders for a moment, but your own shoulders feel lighter, also
---Thanks for listening to me blather away....:o)
--This computer is high, or I am, one or the other!
I had a wonderful dinner at my younger daughter's house tonight---evidently it was more than I could handle!!!
Hey; do most of you folks eat regularly?
--Just askin'.
I truly forget to eat; I was wondering if others are like that, also?!

"Great Translation and Narration"
I truly enjoyed this experience with The Iliad more than my previous couple of attempts at it (only one of which I got all of the way through.) This translation is so much more engaging than the previous ones which tried too hard to force a poetic meter to the story. Listening on audio with a skilled reader like Derek Jacobi was a real pleasure. The excitement of the story came through so well. Try this version of The Iliad.
Addicted to Audible since 2009
"A Timeless classic!"
A great story, lots of action and fighting, and a classic that has lasted the test of time. Excellent narration as well!
"abridged or unabridge...that is the question?"
I rented this as an unabridge book for my daughter who is studying 'The Iliad'. and she found out it has skipped many pages. now I look it up and it says abridge! Why would you audio this book as abridged?So many students read this and it is so helpful to have a complete book!
"Good book, but not complete"
I have to read this for class, and having the audiobook has been helpful to my time and understanding.
I have no problems with the Iliad itself, just with the audiobook version. Some of the sections of the printed book weren't even in the audiobook. Why, I'm not sure. Also, I often couldn't figure out where I was in the book because the printed book is divided up into Books, and the audio version was divided up into different chapters. Why can't you just do it as the books? Would be so much easier.
"Shocked & Moved"
I had tried to read this book but was unable to really get into it. My professor explained that Homer's works were likely spoken originally so I tried the audiobook.
I was moved and shocked at the depth I found in this epic poem. Great performance and thus particular translation was used in class. It's a great story!!
If this version was not abridged
Everything about the performance and story was great. However, the fact that this audio was the abridged version has proven incapable of helping me study for English class (I am a slow reader and use the audio to help give me a good pace).
I bought this to use in my classroom so that I could play it rather than try to read aloud all the names. I thought the actors' voices might be a nice change from my own as well. However, the audiobook is NOT divided by books (chapters) and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find where each book begins. We are only reading SOME of the books, but I can't play it because I can't find the start of any of them even after almost 2 hours of trying. THe actual book is over 8 hours and trying to find my place 6 times a day is literally impossible. I thought I found the start of book 5 (2:09: 19) but the next day that time did not start at the same text. Virtually useless to me! I've even searched online and can't find the break times.
"Astounding! (It is not, however, unabridged)"
Blood, death and glory.
Derek Jacobi does an incredible job of portraying all of the men, women and gods involved; he understands each character's feel and transmits it clearly.
"Great but..."
This is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed reading it years ago and thought I would enjoy listening to it on my long drives. Not so much. This is a book you need to really focus on. If you listen to your books while doing nothing else, this is great; however if you're like me and listen to your books while driving long distances, cleaning house, working out, this one is hard to follow.
The performances were wonderful. If I ever have time to just sit and listen, I'll try it again.

Aeonium help please? wilting leaves ascending
Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie to this forum and having plants.
I got this plant recently - it said Aeonium (and also sedum) on the label, I figure it's an Aeonium arboreum?
There's been an increasing number of yellow, wilted leaves from the bottom up (other than that one sticking out up there). They turn yellow from the end furthest from the stem, then progress, shrivel, brown and fall off. Perhaps about 8-10 have fallen off in the past week. There are 3 main rosettes branching off the main stem, and there seem to be 2 beginnings of another 2 starting around the largest main rosette.
I've just repotted it last week and have watered it that once. The top of the soil now feels dry though. It sits in a pot in a balcony and gets direct morning sunlight, then gets shaded from the afternoon sun (but the balcony warms up quite a bit). It is under shelter, so doesn't get rainwater. I'm in Melbourne, Australia, and autumn has finally arrived - the weather changed from sunny 25 to rainy with high humidity, maxa 20 a few days after repotting, if that matters. There were already a couple of yellow wilted leaves before repotting which I removed.
I'm wondering if I have a problem (eg over/under-watering or disease), or this is by any chance a young plant growing up? Photos I see of more mature plants (if I got the right plant) seem to show a long and more woody looking stem, which appears to be what is happening towards the bottom of the stem with mine, while the top seems fresh, green and juicy.
Thanks heaps.
Well, in SW Florida they go dormant, stay dormant, or rot. (OK, maybe that's just my plants. LOL) I've lost 5 trying to make them like our hot rainy humid summers. I have 2 left and I won't try to torture any more Aeoniums. I promise!
These guys had a nice 3-4 inch rosette when I bought them. They grew to 2 inches. They went dormant, lost all leaves, looked like sticks, but DID wake up this year, but they sure look pitiful. New growth is pretty skinny and rosettes are small. And it's about time to go dormant again. Poor things.
Why not bring them indoors, as I have to do my Tylecodons and such, for the summer? Set them near a window and, other than the most minute watering once monthly, leave them alone. They'll start to spring back forward in September with their lovely, widening discs.
There are a few Aeoniums, IME, which do grow through the summer, but at a reduced rate. However, most of them enter their dormant stage at April, for the Northern Hemisphere. Their flowers last into May/June easily.
I didn't do my research when I bought the Aeoniums. I planted some in the ground, thinking I would have lovely tall plants surrounded by other succulents. That quickly proved to be a mistake!
I pulled these two back out of the ground and put them on the lanai, under cover but in bright light. It was so humid that I didn't have to water any of my succulents last summer. Everything was wet and even my jades dropped a couple of branches.
So I will take your advice and move them inside. I don't think they can take another summer outside. I do envy plants like the OP has.

Lesson Plan: For Teachers: Celebrating Stratford
Lesson Plan
The Stratford Festival is entertaining, educational, and enjoyable. To represent these aspects of the Festival and, at the same time, to learn about the Festival, students have the opportunity to pursue a creative project of their choice that teaches about the Festival in an entertaining way. You can modify this activity to suit the age and ability of your students.
The Task
Students will complete a creative project that reflects their knowledge of the Stratford Festival. They will use the resources on the topic The Stratford Festival: the First 50 Years on the CBC Digital Archives website, as well as other online and print resources, to research the Festival in depth. Then, based on their own skills and interests, students will select a final product (for example, a game, bulletin board display, poster, website, report, brochure, costume study, props catalogue) to share their information and celebrate the Festival.
The Process
Students may wish to begin by
identifying their end product so that as they research, they have a clearer
idea of the kind of information they need. Some students may wish to work in
groups to complete this project. If they do so, they will be able to practice
their group-work skills by determining together what their end product will be.
You may choose to have students write a proposal for their project subject to
your approval.
Students should make clear notes as they research and use those notes to write an outline of their project. Students will then complete a final product that is suitable for display and appeals to their audience.
Provide students with time to complete their project, to have it reviewed by you or by a peer, and to make any necessary revisions.
Invite students to share their projects with the class over several weeks. Encourage class discussion about the effectiveness of the projects. You might also wish to have students reflect in their journals about how each project reaches its goals of being educational, interesting, and entertaining. Consider as well having students reflect on why and how they feel their own project achieves these goals.Download PDF

Notre Dame players, coaches, and fans are trying to wrap their heads around the two straight losses suffered at the hands of Michigan and Michigan State.
But challenges for Notre Dame's are unrelenting as the Irish face their first ranked opponent of the Brian Kelly era.
Stanford Cardinal make the trip to South Bend this weekend after dispatching Sacramento State, effortlessly pounding UCLA, and dropping 68 points on Wake Forest to start the 2010 season. A cake walk they will not be.
This will be the fourth straight undefeated opponent that Notre Dame will play, and after a rocky start to Brian Kelly's first season at Notre Dame, there's a very real desperation floating in the air as fans and foes alike contemplate a brutal 1-5 start to the season, with the match up against the Cardinal followed by battles against Boston College and Pittsburgh.
With all that in mind, it would seem to suggest that this weekend's game is a must-win for Notre Dame.
But despite the disappointing 1-2 start and all the negativity that comes from a lack of winning, Notre Dame may still be in a good position this weekend.
After all the Irish are still in the early stages of a new coaching staff, the team is an underdog and even the most ardent most fans are not expecting a victory over a ranked opponent. Not just yet. That could play to their advantage. It would be a pretty big win in Brian Kelly's first season.
And if the Fighting Irish pull out a victory? That could light the flame that sparks a brilliant new coaching regime. That could significantly bolster the confidence of the the team after a slow start to the season. That could be the type of victory that turns the season around.

The team at Urban Eats can help you with the conceptualization, branding and pre-opening development of your Food & Beverage Project.
We can work with you on:
- Creation of Unique Food Offerings that spark trends and capture the imaginations of the people they serve.
- Restaurant Brand Audits & Tune Ups that energize your consumer base and jump start sales.
- Business Plans, Feasibility and Industry Trend Analysis that provide accurate information for optimal decision making.

- Mixed Use, Food Court & Lifestyle Center Consulting identifying appropriate restaurant and retail food sizing, layout, concept and tenant curation, brand messaging, signage, pedestrian flows, etc.
Purveyor driven foods have been a big player on the urban landscape for several years now. Hand crafted products like cheese, dairy and cured meats, typically found in a rural way of life, have moved to the center of plate and garnered mass media attention. CalyRoad Creamery, an Atlanta based soft cheese producer has epitomized the movement away from processed, big food towards one of artistic small batch products. Head monger, Robin Schick started her creamery in a small retail store front and now oversees a growing enterprise. Urban Eats Consulting Group was hired to facilitate multi-unit growth and to develop long term business strategies. www.calyroadcreamery.com
Serving the backyard garden communities of Candler Park and Lake Claire, the Mercantile has become the go-to specialty grocer. Offering a curated selection of wine, beer and specialty foods owner Janea Broyes has proven once again the old adage; build it and they will come. Urban Eats Consulting Group was brought on to fine tune the brand and inventory mix and to develop new business strategies. http://www.themercantileatl.com
Give the suburbs another V for victory. Marietta, GA scored big with the recent opening of the Crooked Tree Cafe. Chef Jeff Haeger has brought the finer art of southern cooking to this local meat and three located along Hwy. 41. With it's no nonsense attitude this breakfast and lunch roadhouse is serious about two things; great food and friendly service. Try the Smoked Duck Sloppy Joe or the deliciously messy French fry Poutine and you'll be whistling Dixie. Urban Eats Consulting Group developed the Crooked Tree's brand narrative and positioning, interior design and coordinated the pre-opening hiring and training. Go there before there's a line out the door.
It's true! Good things do come in small packages. The Little Organic Market is 400 square feet of the best in all natural and organic foods. Located in Inman Park, this little grocery packs a nutrient dense punch. With a curated mix of groceries, meat, dry goods, dairy the LOM has just the right amount of everything. Urban Eats Consulting Group participated with the opening team on concept development, store design, product mix and pre-opening logistics.
Some concepts are thrust upon us, others occur as though they were destined to be. Studio No. 7 is what it is. No hype, no BS…simply a reflection of the moment at hand and the community it serves. Now open in West Midtown on Marietta Street, Studio No. 7 ushers in a new definition of lounge, already present in DC, LA and NYC, to the Atlanta scene. Urban Eats was hired for pre-opening logistics, kitchen set-up, menu development, vendor referrals, hiring and general industry expertise.
Ahead of their bricks and mortar roll out in Washington DC and Northern Virginia, Peet's Coffee and Tea launched a very cool promotional coffee truck and trailer tandem. The rolling promotional duo buzzed through selected events and street side markets introducing consumers in the nation's capital to Peet's tasty brews. Urban Eats Consulting Group, working with Atlanta based An Epic Company, provided event coordination and permit logistics for the Spring 2014 tour.
Now, thanks to four visionary owners, we can all have a pint again…the hop version that is. With history like that, there's no doubt that Imperial Pub will be an instant neighborhood classic. Urban Eats Consulting Group provided interior design guidance, lighting and finish material coordination.
From a nutritional perspective, cold pressed organic juice is at the top of the list. Its good for your body and makes you feel alive and energized. Cold Life Organics is an on-line supermarket selling 100% organic fruits, vegetables and grocery items. With all those beautiful fruits and vegetables in the warehouse, juicing was a no- brainer. Urban Eats Consulting Group was hired to develop the Cold Life Juice Truck and juicing operations. Click here for a recent Midtown Patch article on the Juice Truck Roll-Out
This week's blog comes to us from Rebekah Fitzgerald all the way from Minnesota. She offers some great advise on menu changes. Thanks Rebekah!
Menu Redesign
Time to redesign your outdated menu? There are many reasons it might be overdue, but the ultimate goal is to increase profits through a better guest experience. A successful transition to a new menu is dependent upon maintaining your regulars, all the while attracting new guests.
Your regulars are important customers that have been supporting your restaurant for many years. Successful restaurateurs will recognize their value by taking them into consideration. Here are three methods to maintain their loyalty throughout these changes.
Inform Them
Removing an item from your menu may not seem like a big deal to you, but it could be the very reason that they come back every week. This doesn't mean that the Mango Chicken should stay solely based on one customer purchasing it every Tuesday. More importantly, they just want to feel included. Surprising your guests with a sudden and radical menu redesign is an important consideration to prepare for.
If they haven't been given any type of notice regarding the coming changes, they may not feel valued by you or the restaurant. You don't need to tell them every detail, but enough to make them feel like they are involved and a part of the change.Read More Post a comment (0)
The suburban retail market continues to amaze me. Seemingly an endless sea of strip malls, national chains and subdivisions cloaked in homogeneity I wonder how any business gains autonomy. For the answer, look no further than the Pizza Shack; a family run, community pizza pub that has scored a direct hit along the Cedarcrest Road corridor. What the Pizza Shack owners understood, that many aspiring restaurant owners tend to overlook, was the lifestyles of the local consumers. The Shack tapped into the surrounding resident's desire for community interaction in comfortable familiar places. Warm, inviting and engaging the Shack is one of those iconic neighborhood joints we all need to unwind. Go check them out, watch the game and enjoy the New York style hand tossed pizza. Urban Eats Consulting Group developed the brand narrative and provided interior design direction.

NEW YORK CITY — With seven attacks on average every month, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) passenger assaults on bus drivers are up 20 percent, according to the NY Daily News.
There were 69 physical assaults in the first nine months of this year — compared with 57 during the same stretch last year, the statistics revealed. The MTA didn't offer any theories for the rise in attacks on drivers, but union chiefs partly blame management. For the full story, click here.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

I don't mind the downtimes myself either, but the "unexpected downtimes" do get annoying when they're happening every hour on the hour - especially when you're in the middle of doing something that costs credits or whatever, and when the game comes back up, you lost the credits, etc. but the changes you made are lost too. Annoying to customize a ship, lose the money/merits and have the customization be gone too.

Is Andrew Smith Sexist? (short answer: no)
I woke up this morning to find Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle and The Alex Crow, completely eradicated from social media.

Maine man collapses, dies on NH trail - 0 Comments
CRAWFORD'S PURCHASE, N.H. — New Hampshire officials say a 69-year-old Maine man has died after apparently suffering some sort of medical condition while hiking.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says Dr. Robert Fernandez of Kennebunkport was hiking alone on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail in Crawford's Purchase at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday when two other hikers came upon him.
Authorities say the two other hikers noticed Fernandez appeared to be tired and accompanied him down the trail, but that he suddenly collapsed about half a mile from the parking lot.

CFA Institute Shatters Fewer Dreams Than Usual In 2014
To be sure, it shattered a lot of dreams. Dreams whose seeds were planted, for some, as far back as the early nineties, when the Institute was formed. On visits to the hallowed halls of CFA headquarters. In conference rooms, where colleagues discussed the merits of MBA versus CFA. Upon receiving an email from a […]
On a Saturday in June, men and women around took a couple of tests. They were the Level I and II of the CFA and while outsiders, family members, MBA grads and the like would never understand how much these exams meant, test-takers knew all too well. Hundreds of hours of studying. Thousands of dollars […]
CFA Level I And II Results Are Out Tomorrow: Start Freaking Out Today

CFA Institute Chief Violates Sanctity Of Those Three Little Letters
As many of you know, the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute is a group that takes itself extremely seriously.

The organization has zero qualms about throwing one of its own […]

For those […]

CFA 2013: T-Minus 24 Hours 'Til Those Three Little Letters Will Be Within Reach

Let's Talk About: CFA Level I Results
Are you among the 37% of candidates who passed the December 2012 exam? Are you going to celebrate by allowing yourself one night off from studying and then cracking the Level II books first thing tomorrow morning?
CFA Police: "The Candidate Was Moving His Hat And Hands Around Using What Appeared To Be Signals"
Yesterday, at approximately 10:30AM, scores of financial services employees breathed a collective sigh of relief. Relief that months of studying had paid off in the form of a passing score on the Level II and II CFA exams. Relief that, even though months of studying had been a total waste of time with nothing to show for it, they could get on with their lives and stop wondering. One guy was less lucky. He's in a CFA holding cell right now pending an investigation, thanks to some supposedly suspect fidgeting and a couple proctors with itchy trigger fingers, possibly hoping to impress their superiors.
According to the suspect, "No one has ever accused me of having a nervous tic or cheating before…I don't understand how you could honestly mistake my, admittedly strange, gestures as signaling to an unknown accomplice."
Let's Talk About: How Many Of You Are One Step Closer To CFA Camp?
Thirty-eight percent of Level I takers and forty-two percent of Level II'ers have reason to feel pretty good about your lives this morning.
Your studying was worth it, your plans are right on track, the promise land is so close you can taste it. The rest of you are likely feeling less good. Your (hours and days and weeks and months) of studying did not end up being worth it, you're right back where you started, and the path to the quote ultimate honor unquote–the land of milk and honey and stacks of CFA exams in need of grading, as high as the eye can see– seems littered with insurmountable obstacles. Your family and friends and colleagues told you they never wanted to hear those three little letters in that sequence again but if you need to vent, we're listening. You're safe here.
As those of you who took the week off to study are well-aware, Saturday is CFA exam day, for all levels. And while we have complete confidence in all of your abilities, some people have expressed feeling a bit jittery about the test. For the vast majority, those fears, while normal, are unwarranted. You just need to talk it out and should consider this space a safe place to do so. For a smaller group of people, though, your fears are totally founded because, statistically speaking, you will fail. Having said that…
Back in January, after Matt found out he'd passed Level 1 (with a perfect score), a conversation occurred at Dealbreaker HQ that went something like this:
Me: So are you going to sign up for Level 2?
Matt: Eh, I don't think so…I mean, I don't really feel like spending the next 5 months of my life studying, y'know? And then what am I going to do? Wait around another year to take Level 3?
Me: Uh….YES, I thought that's exactly what I thought you were going to do. Don't you want to be a CFA charterholder? Don't you want to go to CFA Camp?
Matt: Meh.
Fast forward to last Thursday, when we're sitting around l'office shooting the shit and someone casually mentions, "I wish I were taking the CFA next week." Unfortunately, said someone is not because he choose not to sign up, strangely forgetting how much he loves standardized tests. That being said, if anyone is scheduled to take Level 2 but a) is suffering performance anxiety and b) wants the opportunity to read another recap of how things panned out for an editor of this site, Matt is happy to go in your place and pass it for you. With two nights of studying he gives himself a 50 percent chance (I think it's closer to 75), you'd get those 8 hours back, and it'd make him really, really happy. If he doesn't get to take Level 2 he's considering the idea of the Connecticut Bar in July. Let him have this.

Why would a dr. do this??
I just had the strangest experience, and I'd like to get some other thoughts on it.
In Feb. I was operated on by a dr. when my appendix ruptured. I was in the hospital for a few months. The dr. who operated on me was very nice, we got along splendidly.
On the way out of the hospital, the rehab floor had me walk downstairs instead of wheeling me (I had a huge scar on my thigh from where the infection had spread), and I had been learning how to walk, etc. all over again. By the time I made it to the car, my bad leg gave out and I fell - of course, on my bad leg, and injured my knee. My knee is still swollen and painful two months later.
Now the operating dr. has nothing to do with the injury. He had wanted me to make an appt to see him to make sure everything was going okay.
Now the weird thing: ever since I left the hospital, his office has gone out of their way to avoid letting me make an appt. I am just not GETTING this at all. I called again today, she put me on hold (again), and said, "we aren't taking any new patients." I said, how can I bet a new patient if the guy operated on me and saw me every day for two months? She said she had ASKED THE DR., and he said, no new patients!
So what am I missing here? He obviously doesn't want me to make an appt (and I guess even though I'm a "new patient," my name is in their computer, and it sounds like it's flagged.)
Any ideas about what this could be? I should just find another dr., but I have to admit, this just strikes me as completely unprofessional and idiotic, esp. since it's so obviously a lie.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Have you filed a suit with the hospital/rehab center?
I am guessing that although you were a patient of his in the hospital that you were maybe not considered an office patient of his. Doctors need to make rounds in hospitals and take care of all there, but then they also have their own office patients too. I really have no clue to this, only totally speculating. I just had a doctor tell me to make an appointment to come back in a month, when I called to set it up the earliest opening they had was 3 months. I wasn't sure what to do. Sometimes I don't think the left hand knows what the right is doing.
Can the nurse give you a better explaination or at least direct you somewhere? I would continue to call and ask to speak to the doctor directly or find out his exchange number and call then. Ask the nurse to tell you who you should contact if the infection seems to start acting up or is creating any problems for you. If he can not/will not be your doctor, can he at least refer you? If something went wrong and the infection was not clear, you'd be in big trouble... I would bet someone needs to follow up with you.
Have you considered calling the hospital and speaking to someone there about who you should follow up with? Don't mention the accident, just who to follow up with for the infection and operation.
I very much sounds like you are caught smack in the middle of a legal entanglement with both the hospital and the doctor.
Your discharge was not part of proper and accepted protocol in being made to walk out of the hospital instead of being wheeled out in a wheelchair.
Do to the hospital error, you where and still are injured and I hope that you have or will seek medical attention for that knee.
2 months post falling, you should not have a swollen and painful knee. It sounds like you may have done some serious injury to you knee.
That being said, an incident report had to have been filled out and reported to the hospital and that will land in the offices of quality assurance and very likely the state board of review that governs hospitals in your state.
You make no mention of having contacted an attorney, which is very much what you should do. The hospital is no doubt waiting to see what you will do next and what action, if any, you will take. What kind of injury you sustained and how serious it is/was.
In the mean time, it is quite possible that they hospital has instructed the surgeon to not see you because of what happened when you where discharged.
It's not ethical, and I no it is not legal in the state I live in, but it may be legal in some states. I just don't know that.
I'm also assuming that while you where still in the hospital and rehab, this surgeon continued to check on you about the infection, and that would make him still part of your medical team till you where discharged and therefore, could be seen and held as responsible for what happened to you when you fell.
As for the office saying you are a new patient. No way. He operated on you, he followed you through infection, etc. while an inpatient in the hospital. You are not a new patient, as you are being told, but rather a follow up patient, post op, post infection.
The first thing I would do is report this problem with the surgeon to your state board of registration in medicine and loge a formal, written complaint.
This treatment now can be considered mapractice.
You need to be followed by someone for this infection to be sure that it is all cleared up and doesn't return. that can happen.
I would also ask the board if they can advise you and/or give you the name of a surgeon that you could follow up with about this infection.
You also need to see an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in knees ASAP and determine what is going on with your injured knee. that is serious since it has gone on for so long now.
You also need to contact a malpractice attorney ASAP as well. You are being denied medical care that the "so called surgeon" who operated on you, instructed you to do. He is refusing to see you and you need follow up care. You where also seriously injured because of the negligence of the hospital when you where discharged.
The fact that you are being denied medical care now from the doctor who told you to make an appointment to see him, is very dangerous to your health.
Don't delay any longer in taking pro-active action for your own health and safety. You have to be your own patient advocate and not expect the system to do it for you.
Good luck
What doctor signed you out and what are the instructions for follow up on your release form?
It sounds like maybe this doctor in question told you to follow up many months ago and had since filled up. Did other doctors take over follow up and/or could you have been transferred to someone else? I think if this doctor was paranoid of you, he would have consulted an attorney, and would not be doing what he is doing and making you even madder. And, I highly doubt he'd be responsible for hospital rehab nurses... thay aren't his office nurses; he's just too far removed.
Have you talked to someone about your knee? You probably should.
Again, check your release form papers for follow up info... and try calling the hospital itself if you have any problems. If they too ignore you or put you off, I'd talk to an attorney and be sure to have a backup doctor from a different hospital check out your leg.
Have you had a bill from this Dr.? Have you a report from your insurance company that shows that Dr was paid for treating you?
Also, what about the ruptured appendix? How long had it been ruptured when you sought medical help? I know a ruptured appendix can kill you but I also know that if your appendix does rupture, unless the situation has gone on for a long time, you should not have had infection spread to your leg.
could there have been some "issues" with your surgery and hus reluctance to see you stems from the surgery?

Successful participation of Nuscience to the LIV in Venray, the Netherlands
From 24 through 26 February, the annual LIV took place in Venray. With almost 19,000 visitors, the event was very successful. Again, the introduction of our new piglet feed range Porcito was a highlight in terms of customer interest. Many visitors visited our stand to find out more about our unique feed concept. The focus on health, digestibility and tastiness was highly appreciated.
