ok I got my used arette gt and its in much better shape than I anticipated.
I went to remove the cassette with my brand new frg-g and doh the pin is in the way of the axle or vice versa.
so I removed the axle because I wanted to inspect the bearings anyway they looked ok then i removed the cassette withe frg-g.
setting the bearings was really hard because I needed to put the cassette back on before I adjusted the cones.
Now here is my question.
is it possible to drill out the frg-g and make it a fr5 ( so I can change the casette without removing the axle.
or should I replace the nutted axle with a quick release (which is hollow so I wont need to remove the pin.
or does anyone want to swap
never mind I drove the pin out with a hammer.
if I want to swap the axle what do I need. I assume that I need lock nuts, cones anf a skewer.
my nutted axle is a hair over 1cm (10 mm) its definatly not 14 mm

Who sat with the Arabs in directors box on Monday......???
One Senor David Villa..............Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Certainly be a good signing - his record in the spanish league last season was excellent - 25 goals from 37 games. This season hes got 8 from 15 already, with 4 CL goals in 7.
Not sure wether i prefer him or trezeguet.
I am fairly happy with kuyt and crouchy, so dont see the need to buy another striker ?
I DONT personally think the problems at the start of the season were down to us not scoring, but more us conceeding goals.
I was surprised to find out that we had the best record defensively in the league. The facts say we lost 6 more games than united, and drawn 1 more.
If we had say drawn those 6 games instead, then we would only be 2 points behind chelski and 8 behind manure. Put 2 more wins in there, and we'd be knockin on the door a bit more loudly.
But, as I always say, there is no point bitching about it, its a waste of energy, because it wont change things.
Overall, we gotta be happy with 3rd at this stage of the season, and with chelski starting to stutter, we got a good chance of catching them.
2nd place would be a real bonus for us, and an excellent springboard for next season.

totally agree....
man utd. are the only ones who/ve let in less goals - BUT every other team have scored more..... we need a gel'd pair of consistant goal scorers.... kuyt/bellemy def. !! crouch ????? he needs to be sharper.. think we do need a top, top striker

the only work out is on his back picking the ball out of the net, I would rather stick with reina, who is the far better keeper out of the two.
heard on the grape vine Valencia want a Reina/Villa swap with cash....
So, we'll get Carson back (he's had a bloody good workout at charlton!!)
Warnock and maybe two others might be on their way out, to make up some cash for transfers......
But Villa is a viable option
Why are you such an angry person? Your reply to an observation made about the TV piccies not picking 'Senor David Villa' is a bit over the top! Remember, not all of us are able to make it up to Anfield.
If what you are insinuating is true, then Rafa is up to his usual denial tactics until the deal is done. I personally don't know much about the guy but if what you are saying is correct then I reckon that 'God' may be leaving and not Crouchie as been reported in the media recently!

These Bird Grandfather poems are examples of Bird poems about Grandfather. These are the best examples of Bird Grandfather poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
I was told over and over when I was an innocent four years old,
"Spread your wings, child!"
By the man I loved most, my Grandfather was inspirational.
He was the one that thought me how to read and write.
My parents were never there for me, they were often tipsy,
Smashing the bottles upon the floor and sometimes upon me.
When this happened, my Grandfather was always there to heal my soul,
And he would always say "Spread your wings, child!"
My parents were later found dead, overdosed on the latest drugs.
Even the cruelest people deserved sympathy, I thought as I cried.
They did bring me into this world, even if it was an accident,
So I simply moved along with their memories.
My Grandfather was a strong man as he battled a fierce war of cancer,
His last words were "Spread your wings, child...."
I screamed until my throat was sore, for I had no one else to love, no one,
Was this what the world had to offer a ten year old?
Now, a twelve year old, I have found a sweet family of my own,
A mother that could not have children and left lonely because of it,
She smiled and held me tightly when I first saw her.
Now I have someone to love.
Now, we sing and dance, sit around reading "Oliver Twist,"
With her teasing me and telling me I look like the protagonist, it's true though,
Sometimes on the warm summer nights, we'll watch the stars wink.
Now, I've spread my wings wide open!
Everything I have told you is true :) How could I lie? That wouldn't be right! It's time you got to know me, this poem is my life, reader!
In memory of Oliver Kirkland, my dear Grandfather

Puerto Escondido
That said, the area is still a popular surf destination and thus retains a certain casual charm that distinguishes it from some of Mexico's more well-known vacation destinations. Cabanas and palapa (thatched) restaurants abound, and the beaches are justifiably famous. The town beach can be crowded, but several other options are within walking distance: Playa Marinero, Zicatela, which is known as the "Mexican Pipeline" for its tubular wave formations, and La Punta, a haven for longboarders.

Here's my personal takedown method for grinding Dark Phantom kills. I'm doing this on Version 1.1 since I like not paying money for jewels and making the 5G grindfest also count toward the awakened skills achievement.
Main Skill: Plasma Ray
Sub Skill: Anima Bullet ++ (every kill grants bonus Willpower)
Action Skill: Lunatix ++ (increases attack for 2 Willpower and 2HP)
(Lunatix++ is supposed to only cost 1 Willpower and some HP, but on 1.1 at least it takes 2 Willpower instead, but the boost is still greater than Angriff Adler ++.)
Select Story Mode, World 5. As soon as the cutscene begins hit the Fast Forward button. I pick World 5 because on 1.1 I'm still getting fifteen jewels a pop. Also on Air of Despair you only begin with one health.
Once the stage starts and you see Dark Phantom's health bar fill, switch on Anima Bullet ++ and kill some of the Vespins that swarm you. You don't need to hit that many, just enough to get your Willpower up to 2.
Once the Dark Phantom shows up and does his thing, activate Lunatix ++ the moment he becomes vulnerable and give him the good ol' Plasma Ray spam.
When you've learned his flight path and got it down pat you will be able to do some
damage to him in this phase.
Don't worry so much about getting hit, just concentrate on Dark Phantom because he'll go down before you do. If you're flawless you can actually take him down during this phase but you probably won't.
For his next phase where he fires his large beams I like to fly from the extreme bottom to the extreme top and vice versa, meaning my lasers can still hit him rather than be absorbed by the beam.
He'll either do two beams before his ball and shield attack and final attack, or you might get lucky and he'll do three beams before being forced right into the final attack. Whatever happens, just keep tapping that screen!
Once the battle's over mash your way through the results screens, then once the cutscene begins hit the BACK button on your phone. This will return you to the skills menu, skipping the cutscene and credits entirely!
And there you have it, the fastest I have ever defeated him this way is with 244 remaining on the clock if I beat him during his first phase, but I usually get 237-241. If anyone's got a faster method I would love to hear it.
EDIT: Even in its glitched state Lunatix ++ is still the better skill.

The singles championship match at the Class 3A district girls tennis tournament was an all-Camas affair … and an all-freshman affair.
Freshman Esther Kwon beat teammate Jen Lewis 6-1, 6-2 to capture the girls singles title Saturday at Club Green Meadows.
Kwon dropped only six game in four matches en route to a district title.
The district tournament is not over for Lewis, who will meet Columbia River's Jayne Piboonvaranggoon on Monday to determine second place.
In doubles, the Prairie sisters tandem of Akari and Shiori Baba captured the district championship with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Columbia River's Julie Piboonvaranggoon and Myra Lukens.
On Monday, River's Camille Mitchell and Sarah Case will face Mountain View's Emily Raivio and Milla Benedetti in the consolation bracket final. The winner will face Piboonvaranggon and Lukens for second place.
The outcome of Monday's matches will help determine the team champion, which is a tight battle between Camas and Columbia River.
Washougal 2, Aberdeen 0 — Elesey Razamovskiy had a goal and an assist to lead the Panthers to a win in the first round of the Class 2A district tournament.
Washougal will play at Tumwater on Tuesday for a berth to the 2A state tournament.
Spencer Carnera scored the other goal for the Panthers, and Caleb Howard had three saves.
North Thurston 3, Hockinson 0 — The Hawks' Casey Turner recorded eight saves in goal as the 2A Greater St. Helens League champions were stunned in the first round of the 2A district tournament.
Hockinson, which went 12-0 in the 2A GSHL, now must win three loser-out matches on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to earn a berth to the state tournament.
The first match is Tuesday as the Hawks will host Centrala, a 1-0 loser to Mark Morris on Saturday.
La Center 1, Elma 0, PKs — The Wildcats' got penalty kick goals from Tony Sandoval, Colton Arends, Justin Kempf and Jason Dorsey to win the shootout 4-3 and advance to the 1A district tournament.
La Center will face Seton Catholic on Monday in a winner-to-state match at Doc Harris Stadium in Camas.

From the Inside Flap
Facebook, Twitter, Google . . . today's tech-savvy students are always plugged in. However, all too often their teachers and administrators aren't experienced in the use of these familiar digital tools. If schools are to prepare students for the future, administrators and educators must harness the power of digital technologies and social media.
With contributions from authorities on the topic of educational technology, What School Leaders Need to Know About Digital Technologies and Social Media is a compendium of the most useful tools for any education setting. Throughout the book, experts including Will Richardson, Vicki Davis, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, Richard Byrne, Joyce Valenza, and many others explain how administrators and teachers can best integrate technology into schools, helping to make sense of the often-confusing world of social media and digital tools. They offer the most current information for the educational use of blogs, wikis and podcasts, online learning, open-source courseware, educational gaming, social networking, online mind mapping, mobile phones, and more, and include examples of these methods currently at work in schools. As the book clearly illustrates, when these tools are combined with thoughtful and deliberate pedagogical practice, it can create a transformative experience for students, educators, and administrators alike.
What School Leaders Need to Know About Digital Technologies and Social Media reveals the power of information technology and social networks in the classroom and throughout the education community.
From the Back Cover
"Reengineering teaching and learning requires bringing social media and digital technologies into the classroom. What School Leaders Need to Know About Digital Technologies and Social Media is the desktop reference for 'digital immigrants and explorers' charting the direction of teaching and learning for the 'net generation.' This is a must-have toolbox for educational leaders who choose to be agents of change. Thanks, Scott and Chris!"
—John C. Carver, Van Meter Superintendent of Schools, Des Moines, Iowa
"As technology reshapes teaching and learning in the twenty-first century, school leaders would do well to heed the sound insights and advice assembled by the experts in this book. With dozens of concrete examples, it offers something for education leaders no matter their prior experience with technology tools and issues."
—Douglas A. Levin, executive director, State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA)
"Digital technologies and social media continue to evolve and are transforming the way in which we communicate, teach, and learn. This book, written by knowledgeable practitioners, provides a solid foundation for school leaders who are either resistant or unsure of where to begin."
—Eric Sheninger, principal, New Milford High School
"Contemporary learning is being revolutionized by social media and digital technologies. This book is a must-read for any administrator trying to make sense of why these tools are important and how to use them to connect, communicate, and collaborate inside and outside of the place we call school."
—Pamela R. Moran, EdD, president, Virginia Association of School Superintendents

In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here.
If there's a Democrat-led war on coal in Ohio, it's not showing in
the numbers. PolitiFact checked Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown's claim that coal
jobs and production have gone up in the state since five years ago, and it turns out he's right. Brown's remark was in response to Republican challenger Josh Mandel's claim that Democrats are leading a war on coal. Brown and Mandel are fighting for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat, which CityBeat covered in-depth here. Currently, Brown leads by 5.5 points in aggregate polling.
The presidential campaigns are turning it up in Ohio. Ann Romney was in Greater Cincinnati yesterday to campaign for her husband, echoing past visits from Michelle Obama. President Barack Obama will be in Cincinnati Sunday. Mitt Romney will hold a big rally in West Chester on Friday. Ohio could be the state to decide whether Romney or Obama is the next president. Due to Ohio's importance, lawyers from around the county will be keeping a close eye on the state. With six days of voting left, aggregate polling shows Obama up 2.3 points in Ohio and the race tied nationally. FiveThirtyEight, The New York Times' forecasting model, says Obama has a 79.9 percent chance of winning Ohio and a 79 percent chance of winning the election.
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) is suing Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) for allegedly using city resources to campaign for Issue 42,
which will renew a CPS levy from 2008. In the emails, school officials
discuss voter registration drives, signing up to support the levy and
contributing to the levy campaign. But in a few emails, Jens Sutmoller, campaign coordinator for Issue 42, asks for personal emails to properly respond. COAST has endorsed a "No" vote on Issue 42. CityBeat covered Issue 42 and the problems facing CPS here. CityBeat also endorsed a "Yes" vote on Issue 42 here.
Dropping enrollment in urban district schools, including CPS, has caused some schools to revise building programs downward, saving the state money. In CPS in particular, the school's project has dropped down to 50 buildings from 66 partly in response to a decline in about 10,000 students since 2002 to about 32,687 enrolled students today. The shift apparently has less to do with students moving to the suburbs and more to do with the greater availability of charter and private schools.
The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority's CEO Laura Brunner laid out the Port Authority's strategic plan yesterday. The Port Authority seeks to fight poverty, attract residents and increase jobs by expanding inland port operations, developing land, stabilizing targeted communities, upgrading its public financing plan and transparently communicating progress, according to Brunner.
A small fraction of absentee ballots might have been rejected due to a state data glitch. The glitch caused Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to deliver 33,000 updated registration records to local elections issues. Tim Burke, chairman of the county Democratic Party and county Board of Elections, expressed mixed feelings about the error: "Obviously, you hate like hell to have the secretary of state's office, which had promised to have a very efficient election, popping something like that on us seven days out. … Having said that, I'm glad at least once they recognized that these names are out there they moved to get them to us so that we can do our best to ensure that these folks are not disenfranchised because of some administrative glitch."
In related news, Husted got the emergency stay he asked for on a recent voting ruling. Husted said he was happy with the decision in a statement: "With six days to go before Election Day, I am pleased that the Court has granted a stay in this case so that I can give the 88 county boards of elections the clear direction they need on the rules for processing provisional ballots."
There are a few teachers campaigning for office in Ohio, and NPR says the campaigns could give Democrats and Obama a boost. The surge of teachers is largely attributed to Senate Bill 5, which tried to limit collective bargaining among public employees. The teachers figure the only way to prevent another Senate Bill 5 is by holding office.
There are also Ohio Board of Education candidates on this year's ballot. StateImpact Ohio has a look into some of those candidates here.
A survey
found small firms are doing very little to prepare for Obamacare. Most
don't know what the national health care plan will even do for them.
About 70 percent were unsure or incorrectly believed Obamacare will make
them pay a tax.
Ever want to play Tetris with a pumpkin? Well, apparently someone has.
Blue Ash City Council approved rescinding and redoing its airport deal with the city of Cincinnati in a 6-1 vote last night. The deal will free up $37.5 million for the city of Cincinnati — $11 million of which will go to the streetcar while $26 million will go to municipal projects. After the vote, the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) vowed on Twitter to lead a referendum on the deal. But COAST's opposition is misguided, fueled by their disapproval of all things streetcar.
Three Greater Cincinnati universities were praised for their part-time MBA programs. The programs were in the top 100 of a U.S. News and World Report ranking.
Ohio has the second worst toxic air pollution in the United States, according to a new report from the National Resources Defense Council. The report also found that toxic air pollution has dropped by 19 percent nationwide. The report claims this drop is partly attributed to natural gas, which is cleaner than coal and has become cheaper thanks to a fracking boom in Ohio and other states. New pollution controls also played a role, according to the report.
JobsOhio is claiming to have saved 11,238 jobs and created 4,666 new jobs during the second quarter of 2012. All the jobs saved and created are expected to keep $712 million in new payroll, according to state data.
The successor to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Stan Heffner might not be much better. He also has a history of using state resources for personal reasons.
Former Judge William O'Neill, a Democratic candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court, has accused two Republican justices of taking campaign contributions from parties they heard cases from. O'Neill says the campaign contributions are a blatant conflict of interest. Mike Skindell, another Democratic candidate, chimed in to say he would recuse or refuse money instead of inviting a potential conflict of interest.
The Ohio EPA announced yesterday a new plan for cutting down on water pollution in Ohio rivers, streams and lakes. The new plan is a joint effort between Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky to make it more economically viable through incentives for businesses to cut down on water contamination.
Ohio voters can now change addresses online. The new system will save taxpayer money and combat fraud.
July was the hottest month ever recorded, and 2012 has already had more record temperatures than all of 2011. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney's spokesperson promoted climate change denial on behalf of ExxonMobil.
Romney says campaigns should pull ads that are found to be dishonest or misleading by fact checkers. Well, his campaign should get to it.
The U.S. Postal Service reported $5.2 billion in losses in the second quarter of 2012. On the bright side, a recent study found the U.S. Postal Service is the best at delivering mail.
The U.S. women's soccer team beat Japan for the gold medal yesterday.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

We had a TnT training ride today, and went up to the Mt. Diablo junction from the North Gate, and who do we see? Alainp and his son, enjoying some PBJ's while gathering themselves for the assault on the summit. Our route didn't include the summit (and a coach was cracking the whip) so we didn't really have a chance to talk.
Later in the ride, near the intersection of Highland and Collier Canyon there's some tall guy with a beard taking pics - looks a lot like Pete (Taxi777), but what's he doing out this way? Sure enough, it was Pete who had just come off of Morgan Territory. He rode with us for a while and pulled us through the headwinds back up Highland and Tassajara. Nice. He needed to grab some food, so he pulled off at Blackhawk Plaza while we continued on Blackhawk and Diablo Blvd to the end of our ride.
Not quite as difficult as Ron's birthday ride, but we did 56 miles with 3,450 feet of climbing. And for the record, Pete was on his way to the Mt. D. summit.

The Battle
Let�s admit it. We all faced troubles. I faced many challenges; however, one struck me�hard. I had to smile and be happy to prevent myself from crumbling, like a sand castle in the open waters. My mom, my supporter fell under the unforgiving clench of depression, I knew months before I was told, but acted as my own cherry self, bubbling with enthusiasm, However, this wasn�t my true self, it was a mask. A mask to conceal my worries, my fears. I wanted it to be defeated. I knew my mother�a strong and determined woman. Out of all people I had faith that she could defeat this cold, heartless monster. At times I was frustrated, along with the rest of my family, but together we were supportive and positive, slowly healing my mom, slowly coaxing depression out. When depression did take over my mom�s body, she was an alien to me�a complete stranger. She wasn�t the bright and playful mother I�ve always known. However, as time went, she got the urge to be positive and persevere in the grueling battle against the monster. It was the greatest gift for me to get my mom back, with my family�s positivity and unity, we rose back up to the family we�ve always been. In fact, we may have become closer�a bond that�s indescribable that nothing can ever break. I learned from this painful and long journey that there will be endless mountains in life, but enthusiasm will be rewarded. I�ve been gifted with a family that will fight through my battles with me�whether it�s a week or even years. My family is my backbone and my strength. This was a life changing even in my life that reckoned the power of hope, unity, and my one and only family.

+Sascha Prüter Yeah, right, like they'll respond. I guess one could try, then wait years for the answer.
Ref: SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224). https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt
+Artem Russakovskii Check out the details on CVE-2014-0224 and note the publishing date of 6/5. Its post Heartbleed.
+Sascha Prüter Yeah, I got it now, thanks.
You said "primarily" - does it address any other security (or otherwise) bugs?
You said "primarily" - does it address any other security (or otherwise) bugs?
+Artem Russakovskii It addresses some other (not quite as severe) security issues. No I can't give a list but AOSP push should follow in the next 48h and you can take a look :-)
+Artem Russakovskii Just out of curiosity: Where did you get the "(branch kitkat-mr2.1-release" from?
+Sascha Prüter Same place https://plus.google.com/u/0/107797272029781254158/posts/DS1evRdC2Pm came from, except all I had was the branch name by the time we posted. The tag name came later https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/kitkat-mr2.1-release.
I hope this fixes the always on wifi that came from the 4.4.3 update. My N5 drains so fast now. With 4.4.2 it was much better.

+Vijay Prabhu: You didn't read this thread properly. This is NOT addressing heartbleed. It addresses CVE-2014-0224 which is NOT heartbleed. +Artem Russakovskii posted earlier in this comment thread the link to the actual Open SSL advisory, you might want to read that.

Wedding Planning Schedule
Starting everything on the wrong foot, with the idea in mind that there is plenty of time, many couples on the verge of getting married get into a time crises that things turn from their wedding day to just a party for their guests, since the newlyweds had to put up with tons of stress, nerves and worries that they are now powerless to enjoy it. So here is what and how you should be doing in order to avoid this particular and unpleasant situation.
Begin everything with about a year and a half before, by letting all your relatives and friends to know about your engagement, and set the date. Buy yourself an agenda and write down in it all the important dates and facts, including the church you want, the venue, the restaurant and so far. Write a detailed plan and start looking around on the market to see which of your wishes can be accomplished and for what costs.
After about six months of intense research, in which you can engage some closer friends as well, because it is a lot to cover, you can recheck the initial plan and see what is there to be modified. This is also the perfect moment for setting an approximate budget, according with the prices you already seen on the market.
With about 10 months left till the wedding, book the restaurant, go talk with the priest and start buying the decorations for the reception. You can do it by yourself, or hire a specialized firm to do it for you. Also, go see a few videographers or photographers and try to establish a collaboration.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
Two months later, start writing the invitations and announcing the bridesmaids and the groomsmen about their duties. Choose the color scheme for the attires and recheck with the filming company. Send the invitation so that people you have targeted to have the time to prepare.
Are there only six months left? It is time for the wedding dress to shop, try, adjust and anything else you want. Do not forget about the bridesmaids and groomsmen, who must get their clothing articles as well.
And from now on, you can set up the reception menu, choose the wedding favors, go with your fiancé and buy the wedding rings and, why not, buy the tickets for the honeymoon as well.
A year and a half before the wedding is never too early, as you are about to discover once you start planning the special day. And it is always sever to leave you some time instead of leaving yourself with no time at all. So start prepping.

Actress Swati Reddy a.k.a. "Colours" Swati loves to work with young team because she feels youngsters are more focused and don't have ego hassles. In fact, her forthcoming Telugu crime-comedy "Swamy Ra Ra" features three newcomers.
"Most of my films have been with debutant directors or with those who are one or two-film old. I always look forward to working with a young team because they're highly focused and don't have room for ego. More importantly, they strive to prove themselves," Swati told IANS.
"If I were to put it in one line, then I would say that I love to work with people who want to work with me," added the actress who had earlier teamed up with M. Sasikumar for his directorial debut "Subramaniapuram" and also featured in Sripathi Rangasamy's first directorial venture "Kanimozhi".
Swati's forthcoming Telugu crime-comedy "Swamy Ra Ra" has three newcomers - director Sudhir Varma, composer Sunny M.R. and cinematographer Richard Prasad - attached to it.
Expected to hit screens by month end, the film also features Nikhil Siddharth, Ravi Babu, Pooja Ramachandran, Jeeva and Praveen.
"I just couldn't decline the offer when Sudhir (director) approached me for the film. Besides the plot, which I liked the most, one of the reasons I couldn't say no was he was very genuine and keeps his feet on the ground. He expressed immense passion in the project," said Swati.
"Swamy Ra Ra", as Swati puts it, is a situational comedy.
"The title may appear obscurely wacky, but the film is not. It's about a chase for a precious idol, in which I get accidentally pulled in. All characters are running after the idol, and this paves way to the kind of comedy that is completely situational," she said.
Quizzed about working with Nikhil, she said: "He is the kind of actor you don't have any issues with. He minds his own business and is very professional. Of course, he's funny off the sets and extremely dedicated on the sets."
While Swati's part was shot in Hyderabad, the rest of crew travelled to places in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The film was completed in about 45 days.
In "Swamy Ra Ra", she plays a character named after her own name and adds it was not easy.
"It was challenging because I had to doll up and wear pretty skirts, something I've never done before. All my roles in the past have been lively. But here I play a very naive type of a girl. I had to come out of my comfort zone and mellow down to play the character," she explained.
Besides acting, Swati has crooned a song in the film.
However, she likes acting more than singing.
"I started singing because of Ram Gopal Varmaji. He convinced me to sing in his Telugu film 'KSD Appalaraju'. After that I sang in another Telugu film '100% Love' on the request of composer Devi Sri Prasad," she said.
"I love acting more than singing, but I humbly obliged these people's requests because they believed in me," she added.

I am not even ashamed to admit that I love a good bargain. I clip coupons; I buy $15 desks. When Jeni's celebrated its new Nashville location with free scoops of ice cream last week, we were front in line. And when Whole Foods had a $1.99 sale on organic blueberries June 17, you know I bought a whole case. A whole case. Organic blueberries, which typically go for more like $4 or $5 a pint, are definitely on my top five list of favorite fruits. They are packed with antioxidants. They're delicious by themselves, and even better with cream. They're great to freeze for morning smoothies; they're great to eat with milk and cereal. And, on top of all that, they remind me of Tim---because he wrote about them in one of the first ways we got acquainted. So really, I guess you could say it was my bargain-loving instinct---and the 12 pints of blueberries that accompanied it---that we can thank for this recipe, a pretty basic adaptation of a simple blueberry scone. Mixing the … [Read more...]

One of my main goals as an educator is to make difficult material clear and memorable to the student. I have always believed that all academic subject matters were interesting at their core and that an educator's role is first and foremost to reveal the core of a subject matter so the student has the motivation to meet the challenges presented by the material. I have had the privilege of teaching a large number of different subjects at local community colleges and universities, including Towson, Morgan, and Johns Hopkins Universities,and Essex and Catonsville Community colleges. I believe that my enthusiasm for learning will be communicated to my pupils as a result of the tutoring they will receive from me. I have a Ph.D. and over 330 college credit hours to my name in diverse subjects.

Joseph has already been a great help to me. He is very intelligent and great at conveying information. He is easy to get in touch with and I highly recommend him!
March 2013- Joseph has proven to be an excellent support. I have been struggling with the demands of work and school but with Joseph's support I have been able to understand more of my school expectations. Joseph is extremely intelligent in a variety of subjects and I would not be moving forward without his help.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Not only have I taken a number of courses in algebra at the college level, but in my employment, I have had numerous opportunities to keep my knowledge and proficiency in algebra alive. I am proficient and experienced in solving for variables in linear and quadratic equations, problem-solving techniques (including setting up equations when searching for unknowns), order of operations, elementary operations properties (e.g., associative and distributive properties), and much more.
My expertise in Algebra II is not due merely to college credits earned, but is also a consequence of my being a physicist (MS), and my regular hands-on application of algebraic principles in connection with my employment.
I taught biomolecules in summer sessions at Johns Hopkins University and my interests in biochemistry extend to molecular biology and physiology, as I have published in these areas. I consider my understanding and knowledge of biochemistry quite extensive. I am particularly good at analyzing biochemical structures and in the areas of biochemical pathways and enzyme kinetics.
I have had many years of experience both in the lab and academically in botany. In addition, botany was a hobby of mine, and I specialized in algae and plant physiology. I have done credited course work in botany.
I cover the range of basic chemistry from elementary to college-level physical chemistry and organic chemistry. My areas of special training include chemical kinetics and chemical thermodynamics (based on my graduate-level training). As a corporate scientist, I worked on numerous inventions requiring a knowledge of chemistry, and hold patents for some of my inventions.
Subjects for which I have earned college credit include: general economics, money and banking, management, marketing, accounting, comparative economic systems, statistics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and business law. I still remain active in economics and am writing a book on macroeconomics.
In addition to being a physicist and a biomedical researcher, I provided various editing functions to individuals and companies in improving manuscripts that included research papers, grant proposals, and other types of works. I can add that I taught expository writing for several semesters at Towson University in Baltimore, MD. I received a score of 780 (better than 99 percentile) in the Verbal section of the GRE (Graduate Record Exam).
As a biophysicist and molecular biologist, I am well versed in organic chemistry. I have university credit for organic chemistry and biochemistry. In addition, I did two post-docs in pharmacology, again a related subject. Chemistry as a whole is one of my strong areas.
I have my Master of Science in Applied Physics. I have specialized in thermodyamics and mechanics and have years of teaching physics at the college level under my belt. My emphasis in physics is on problem solving. I have taught elementary physics labs along with the corresponding physics courses. Among the basic physics courses I have taught are those requiring calculus, i.e., those for science and physics majors.
I have used precalculus extensively in my work. I appreciate the importance of being careful in calculating things, as I have learned this through experience, even recently. As a biophysicist, I had many opportunities to gain experience in this and other mathematical subjects.
My interest in writing goes back to a very early age. I have written fiction stories, scientific papers, and have been employed as both a writer and a proof-reader for years. In addition, I have taught expository writing at Towson University (Maryland) a number of times. I am very exacting in my use of words and in grammar, and I believe this benefits my pupils to an unusual extent.

This piece is a study of another of the great race track characters.
A clean, new, secure horse racing facility doesn't mean that the characters have disappeared. It means the characters have to act in a lower tone of voice.
Understanding race track characters is important because they specialize in spreading negative thoughts. Without sounding like a yoga instructor, I have enough negatives thoughts of my own, who needs anybody else's?
I prefer the live races to the pinball races, those blurry images on a screen where, during the post parade, it can be difficult to tell which horse has the highest number of healthy legs. When at the races, you can't handicap in a vacuum. It helps to be on hand to get a feel of the track and the betting, and to look at the horses, something of a diminishing art.
The post parade on a small screen at a simulcast venue frequently shows little more than head and shoulder shots of a jockey and lasts about a minute and can make you seasick. More often than not, horses that look bad run that way. When there are crowds at live meets, it can be difficult to get from the post parade to a betting window.
It's why you need binoculars. In the grandstand at a live meet not long ago, I was the only one with binoculars. Good. More money for me. You think I'm announcing which horse lists?
Last time in this space, the character we looked at was the person, usually male, who frequently said he had a winning ticket on a race that did not compute or translate, a race where the easy winner at 75-1 had this form: last, last, next to last, last, next to last, way back there, who cares.
Hearing about somebody's impossible good fortune is not conducive to your own competent handicapping. Rather than listen to this stuff, I now ask to see any ticket that sounds like fiction.
The race track character worth a good look today is the person who comes stunningly close to winning something like $10,000 a week on a small bet.
There is one of these characters in every horse race track in the country, somebody with a hangdog expression spreading exotic tickets on a table and showing you that had a 15-1 shot run third instead of second, he would have won $9,000 on a $6 investment.
This character is almost always a man because if a woman gambler came within an inch of winning a small fortune every few days, she'd move onto something less stressful after a couple or three years.
The person who almost wins a lot of money on a regular basis has the evidence to back up his horror stories.
He gets up to use the restroom at the Indian casino, and somebody puts a dollar bill into that same machine and hits a jackpot.
His greeting is not hi, hello, how's the family.
His greeting is: You won't believe what just happened to me.
Last week, the one at my track with more brushes with the Internal Revenue Service window than all the other regulars combined spread three Trifecta tickets on a table to demonstrate how he almost hit a $6,000 payoff. Sure enough, the three winning numbers were accounted for in about every possible combination except what showed up on the tote board as Official.
Here's the point, here's the way to handle this character so you won't spend the rest of the afternoon sitting depressed in a corner because of a couple of inches worth of hard-charging bad luck.
You have to be good to come that close.
Anybody who comes so near a big payoff on a regular basis and keeps coming back for more figures to be winning his share without going into that in any detail.

I love massages. Strong, deep-tissue, painful massages. I have previously boxed (having 6 fights), I cycle every day, run regularly, walk a LOT and also attend a Crossfit gym (recently got a PB in the clean of 40kg so quite pleased with that!) This means my body is pretty tense, and I don't stretch enough. So - the massages, they have to be good, if not there'll be a bad review!
My experience was truly awful. Splash Soho is a hair salon upstairs and downstairs, playing super-loud heavy club music. The 'treatment' rooms are basically the broom cupboards at the back downstairs. The waiting area is a couple of large footstools right in the middle of hectic hairdressers and their tightly packed in clients with no offer of a drink, not even water. I was 'greeted' by my therapist who literally 'collected' me from the waiting area and showed me into the room for the massage. She closed the door without saying anything, so I guessed I should change.
Then the horror story really began. She'd clearly had a little training, but nowhere near enough. She was stroking me, not massaging me. She used her knuckles on my neck but the palms of her hands on my back, she focussed some pressure on my sides and spine bone but not the muscles of my back. At one point she was only using one hand and I thought she was looking at something on her phone. It was a full body massage, but again she stroked my legs and left me cold and with little dignity by uncovering both of my legs at the same time. To top it off there was definite 'touching' of my intimate area which I wasn't very pleased about. She went from my legs to stroking my back again and then did the front of my shoulders and chest. She didn't touch the soles of my feet, oddly.
The environment was horrible. The room was cramped, cold and noisy – when the spa music cut out half way through I was left listening to the club-land next door. She didn't warm the massage oil in her hands, just poured it on me cold, and used it to move my hair out of her way (towel, anyone?!). The poor girl was coughing all over the place, she clearly had a cold and she should have been told to go home and get well.
At the end, I was getting changed and in less than a minute there was a knock on the door and I was told the next client was waiting. When I left, not one person asked me how it was, or even said goodbye. It gives the impression they do not care very much what their 'health spa' clientele think, and nor do they care much about the training and wellbeing of their staff. The therapist herself was not relaxed, she seemed stressed and overworked, and this showed in my experience.
I would not recommend the pedicure or the "dry-pedi" (as they call it, confusingly, it is actually the dry hard skin removal treatment). My experience was not relaxing or very enjoyable. Firstly, they only have water to offer as refreshment, no tea or anything else. There are banners and celebration balloons everywhere for the 8th birthday but it seems that is where it ended. They were insistent on me having their marketing material which I wasn't interested in. I left it in the waiting area (my therapist was running late) but it was given back to me after I moved. All the therapists are lined up factory-style in a single narrow room and you have your treatment in the open – it's like a large waiting room.
I sat in a chair which I had to move around to suit the therapist and hold my left up her lap (not good in a skirt!) for both the skin removal and the massage and nail filing/painting. It was not comfortable to hold that position for an hour! I could not see that the electric hard skin remover and the manual one had not been used on other people before me, which I found a bit gross. There was no conversation whatsoever, and even when I tried to make conversation (feeling that it would be rude of me to read a magazine while someone is working on my feet) she turned and looked any which way except at me.
The results were not great. My feet were soft for all of a couple of days, the nail varnish was peeling off after 3 days and a week later only a few nails have any varnish left on them. A week and a half later and I need to file down my toenails again because the therapist only did a square end and hardly filed them down at all. When I do my own feet they are soft for weeks, the nails need filing and painting only every few weeks at the very most. Might as well carry on doing it myself.
Hubby and I took a bit of time to ourselves for the rasul treatment. We found the baths easily, but didn't realise the main reception isn't the reception for the spa. Tip: go round the corner and straight downstairs, no need to wait in the main reception queue!
We were slightly disappointed to learn that the rasul treatment didn't include access to the steam rooms afterwards, but after the treatment we realised we didn't need it. Still, if we had paid the full £60 we would have felt the steam rooms should have been included. Fortunately, we only paid £30 for the two of us, which made the whole thing great value.
The treatment itself was good - it was intimate in a non-erotic way, although I cannot see 'friends' doing this together! We stripped and covered ourselves in the soap, washed it off, then covered ourselves in the mud, and sat waiting for the steam to come. It took a while and we thought it was over and we were disappointed when it finally began (with a weird music and light show). The steam was good, pretty warm at times, and the showers after cleansed everything off. The water was boiling though, far too hot for me, so would have preferred an adjustable temperature gauge.
Our skin was positively glowing afterwards, and super-soft. We left feeling nice and relaxed, happy, close, and hungry!
I enjoyed the massage, it was professional and focussed on the areas I needed releasing tension from. I definitely had more movement in my back after we were done!
This is not a spa where you come to be surrounded by fluffy music and nice smells (although there is that too), it's a place where you come to be healthy. They are passionate about the health of your body, both fitness, tension and nutrition. I felt that the massage focussed on my body's needs, not just my mind's! If you have any problems with tension anywhere in your body, they will definitely be able to help.
The only thing which was a little odd was that I booked online via Wahanda but had a call saying this slot was fully booked, I then had to make another appointment over the phone. When I arrived it was the last slot of the day, the masseur was a man, and almost everyone else had gone home. It wasn't a problem at all, I felt comfortable, but I think I would have liked to know if my masseur is going to be male in advance.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.
I came here using a discount offer the salon were offering, I think I paid £37. It was just a haircut but my hairdresser (Alisha) was great. I told her how I'd lost my hair in my teens and have had a couple of bad haircuts recently, and she was sensitive to my needs, we did a consultation and she talked me through what she was going to do. I'm really happy with my haircut, it's a real improvement on the last few that I've had and I'm a lot happier with the style.
Alisha went one further, I started talking about colouring my hair and I voiced all of my concerns. I've wanted to do it for a while but am very nervous about it, given some bad past experiences. She explained different ways of colouring to address my nerves about roots, and put my mind at ease. I'm going in next week to get a half head done!
The bootcamp classes are basically circuit training. You start off jogging on the spot, doing star jumps and squats for about 10 minutes, (no stretching, mind) then you get into the circuits. They consist of press ups, sit ups, lunges, free weights, medicine balls (doing the plank or press ups on them), burpees, tricep dips etc etc. There's roughly 20 people per class and you do each exercise for 1 min before moving round to the next one. You have a break, then you do it again. After that there's a larger group exercise of challenging press ups or sit ups or such like.
The exercises are very heavy on the wrists, so if you have weak wrists like me it can be a bit painful toward the end, but it's worth it.
Depending on what your goals are, and how hard you push yourself (yes, I'm talking about the ones who don't put the effort in - despite having paid and attended of their own free will!) - the bootcamp is good for working on body strength, getting a proper sweat on and making you ache like hell for a few days after. You definitely feel like you've done something worthwhile - be it for losing weight, getting fitter/stronger, or whatever.
It's not the most sophisticated class - this is the sort of training you can put together yourself in the park if you wanted to. However, the reason I go is because if left to my own devices I probably wouldn't. Value for money: well the price I paid for 10 sessions was very much worth it. Would I pay £12 per class though? Probably not.
I was a little apprehensive when arriving at the salon - it's above shops in China Town. You climb a fairly grubby set of stairs (no lift, I was pooped when I reached the top) wondering what on earth is going to greet you at the top. However, it's a bussling salon, with the hair bit on the left, the treatment rooms to the right and the reception desk right in front of you. There's a small seating area just by the door also. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and I felt myself relaxing and smiling almost straight away.
My massage was simply amazing. I like a fairly strong massage as I have a lot of knots and tension. The massage therapist was a small lady who at times was on the table using her body weight to move me around and release all the tension. I felt completely comfortable if I needed her to go a bit more gently, or to increase the pressure. I left feeling a stone lighter!
Great value: I paid £22 using a Mobdeal which was amazing value, they had a special offer of £33 in the salon and I think the normal price is £40. I'll definitely return, either when they do another offer or as soon as I have a bit more cash to spare!
I went to The Runway in a desperate state. I'd previously had an awful experience at another major salon in the West End and the haircut I'd be given was truly horrendous. I needed some care and I needed to trust someone to fix what had gone wrong.
The salon itself is really friendly, you wouldn't think you were in a central location (near Westminster and Victoria) because it was like being on a local high st. They had coca cola bottles in a bowl by the reception desk and I was welcomed pretty quickly. It's not a fancy-fancy place, but it's also not spit'n'sawdust basic. It's just the right level in between.
I cannot remember the name of the girl who was my hairdresser now, but she was lovely. I explained the disaster hat was my current hair and begged her to please help and fix it! We had a lengthy consultation during which I never felt pressed or rushed. She was understanding and friendly, and really put my mind at ease.
The hair wash was great - they have lie-down chairs so you don't get that awful neck-ache. I really enjoyed that bit, the only danger is falling asleep cos it's so nice! I was offered a glass of wine (I hastily accepted) and she got to work.
I wasn't as pleased with the style as I could have been - but that's not the hairdressers fault. This was because we had to go fairly short to correct the previous style. I think all in all she's done a great job, and now - about a month later - it's growing nicely. I feel that all of my needs were addressed in the style and I left feeling fab. Isn't that what going to the hairdressers is all about?!
Unfortunately - I just couldn't get through to make an appointment. I tried and tried for weeks, then left it a while, tried emailing a few times, then tried calling again - but nobody ever got back to me or answered the phone. I gave up after a couple of months and got a refund from Wahanda. Pity.

Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Microfiber: Microfibers are tiny synthetic fibers. They measure less than one denier in size. They are one of the most commonly used fabrics in the upholstery industry; this is because of their ability to repel moisture and their strength and durability against wear and tear. This fabric can be used to make woven, non-woven and knitted textiles. Microfibers are also very soft to the touch, so they are great in water repellent clothing.

Release Date:
October 23, 2012
Activision Blizzard's top-selling first-person shooter franchise marches on with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Players must deal with the fallout from the devastating attacks on U.S. and British soil in a storyline that picks up where 2009's Modern Warfare 2 left off. The single-player campaign has you battling Russian ultranationalists, led by Vladimir Markov, as members of the U.S. Delta Force and British SAS. You'll battle across war-torn areas of New York City, London, Paris, Mogadishu, Dubai, and other regions as you prepare to end the global threat once and for all. As with previous entries in the Call of Duty series, Modern Warfare 3's campaign features a heavily scripted, cinematic experience with Hollywood-style special effects. One new mission, for example, has you involved in underwater travel with a sonar-equipped submersible watercraft. You'll then fight inside an enemy-controlled submarine before guiding an inflatable raft across turbulent waters while a naval battle rages nearby. Other sequences have you firing mounted guns, driving vehicles, and more while explosions light up the landscape. The Wii version of Modern Warfare 3 is developed by Treyarch, who ported Call of Duty: Black Ops to the system. Most of the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 game's content is included, albeit with some changes or omissions due to the differences in technology. The Wii version once again supports the same motion-sensitive, point-and-shoot controls featured in earlier entries, but the online multiplayer component is limited to five-on-five battles and lacks kill cams, certain kill streaks, and other features of its console siblings.
This game was Pre-Owned. Any offers, bonus content and online play may not be available with the purchase of this product or may require additional fees.

Searchers find man with dementia in woodsApril 18,2014Searchers find
lost man in woods
WEST WINDSOR Volunteer firefighters searched through the woods and found an elderly West Windsor resident who suffers from dementia after he wandered away from his home Thursday morning.
The West Windsor Volunteer Fire Department along with police and an ambulance crew from Windsor were called out at 9:30 a.m. to form a search party on Weeden Hill Road.
Fire Chief Mike Spackman said at that point it had already been a little more than two hours since any family member had last seen the 80-year-old man, so searchers cast a wide net.
We had a bunch of people going in different directions because of the time difference, Spackman said, noting, He was not really properly attired for the conditions. It was 20 degrees.
We found him in the woods less than a half a mile from his house, Spackman said. The successful search effort took only about 45 minutes until the man, who was not identified, was found unharmed.
The ambulance people checked him out and we returned him home, Spackman said.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

Man Releases Domestic Ducks into the Wild!
Markham, Ontario, Canada - Jean - Sunday, November 4th, 2012 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
We are very concerned for the ducks that he released yesterday. Winter is coming to our area, that park has predators in it, and presently, hundreds of migrating wild birds are using the lake as a stopover.
According to Duck Rescue Network, many people do not understand the difference between wild ducks and domestic ducks. Domestic ducks lack the instinct to migrate and therefore face terrible suffering in cold winter climates.
These are some of the wild ducks that make Milne Dam Conservation Park their home. Duck Rescue Network says that domestic ducks can interbreed with wild ducks such as these Mallard ducks, with the end result being a half-wild/half-domestic hybrid which is often too fat to fly and too domestic to migrate with the rest of the flock.
Hundreds of Canada geese are using Milne Dam Conservation Park as a stopover during migration. The domestic ducks that this man released are contaminating an otherwise pristine natural habitat by their sheer presence. They are not meant to be there.
Hopefully others will not follow this man's example. We have notified the Markham Park Authority, and they are taking action to deal with the ducks he released.

We received this email, yesterday, Nov. 5th, from the City of Markham:
Good Afternoon Bob and Jean,
I wanted to thank-you for your email and video you sent. We have been working on it all morning and I can report that we have located the ducks and that they appear to be all together near where they were released. Staff from the OSPCA are on site and have baited the area with feed to keep them there and will attempt to capture them. It may take some time to gather them. In the meantime, we are also working on a plan for them once they are caught. I will update you once the ducks are captured.

City of Markham
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for getting back to me and for taking quick action regarding the abandoned ducks at Milne Dam. It is good to hear that the staff from OSPCA are onsite and looking to capture these ducks. It is apt to be a difficult undertaking, but just the same, given all the Mallard ducks that are on the water there, it is good that you are looking to remove these domestic ducks as soon as possible.
I also hope that, with the aid of our very clear pictures, you will be able to figure out who the person was that abandoned these ducks. This person, and others like him, need to be informed of the risks created for the local wildlife when they abandon sick animals in the wild. I am hopeful that others in your community will likewise make a point of reaching out and explaining to people that this is not the way to deal with unwanted pets or animals. I know that the OSPCA would totally agree with that thinking.
I think it would be advisable to put up signs informing the public against releasing animals on park property. We were told by a local resident that on another recent occasion someone abandoned 30 pigeons at Milne Dam, and that all of those birds were found dead on the beach. Perhaps signage would prevent such things from happening again.
We will be anxious to hear back from you.
Bob and Jean Hilscher
anon (CPEf8d1118d3f69-CM001a668ed74c.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com): 6th Nov 2012 - 17:30 GMT
Morning Bob and Jean,
I agree 100 percent with your thought and will speak to Parks about signage. In the meantime, we will continue to try and apprehend the ducks.
anon (CPEf8d1118d3f69-CM001a668ed74c.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com): 15th Nov 2012 - 14:09 GMT
Good Afternoon Bob,
Quick Update
With the help of the OSPCA and a local resident, we were able to capture 6 of the ducks. They will have their wings clipped and be re-located to a horse farm with a pond in the Tottenham area. We are continuing to work at capturing the reminder. Thanks again for your help.

The day after the man released the ducks, we took the following pictures of his yellow bags, and the ducks he released.
anon (CPEf8d1118d3f69-CM001a668ed74c.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com): 7th Dec 2012 - 14:21 GMT
On Thursday December 6, 2012, the Toronto Star, wrote the following News article:
Niamh Scallan
From where she stood on the far side of the ravine, bird watcher Jean Hilscher had a clear view through her long-lens camera of the man with the yellow plastic bags.
It was a crisp Saturday morning in early November and Hilscher and her husband, Bob, had come to Markhams Milne Dam Conservation Park, a popular stopover for migratory birds, to spot those on their way south for the winter. But on this day, the avid birdwatchers from Scarborough were distracted.
From their side of the river, they watched as the unidentified man carried the bags down the ravine and unloaded about a dozen ducks near the waters edge, pausing for a moment before returning to his car.
I was yelling as loud as I could, said Bob Hilscher, who caught the event on his video camera and later posted a clip to YouTube. I was just demanding an answer, What are you doing dumping ducks out of a bag?
Its a question that has flummoxed nearby Markham residents who, for more than a year now, have wondered where the ever-expanding flock of often-hungry and clearly out-of-place domestic ducks a mixture of Muscovy, mallard and others came from.
Shelley Bourne, a member of the Milne Park Conservation Association whose property backs onto the park, said about 15 ducks were spotted in the area last year, but no one knew they were domestic and she believes many died of exposure and starvation.
This year, the flock (which Bourne said has swelled to more than 40) has relied on a steady supply of corn that Bourne sprinkles over her lawn each day. But with the ducks wandering outside without shelter and frigid winter temperatures fast approaching, Bourne and animal-care officials are scrambling to find them a permanent home.
The ducks dont have many foraging skills . . . they suffer, unfortunately, and could die of exposure or become victim of a predator, said Chris Alexander, Markhams supervisor of licensing and animal services who, with the help of the Ontario SPCA, recently captured and relocated about a dozen of the birds to a horse farm near Tottenham.
With the question of how the ducks ended up at the park now answered in part by Hilschers photographs, some in the community have developed their own theories as to why the ducks were dumped there in the first place.
Alexander said he was told by a Natural Resources ministry official that the dump could be a religious practice, specifically a Buddhist custom where animals are released as an act of compassion.
The animal release custom is seen by some Buddhists as a way to bring about good karma and good health, said Henry Shiu, a University of Toronto religion professor who specializes in Buddhist studies.
Many people in the GTA and elsewhere around the world continue to practise the custom despite the environmental consequences, he said. I think they dont know they actually cause many problems.
Jolanta Kowalski, a ministry spokeswoman, said she could not confirm that the duck dump was related to a Buddhist custom as we just dont know, but said ministry officials were aware of certain religious practices that encourage the release of domestic species into the wild.
Alexander, who agreed with Shiu that the duck drop was not a malicious act, said he hoped that awareness of the problem would convince the individual or individuals to stop.
If (the ducks) do end up being slaughtered for human consumption, thats one thing. But theyre going to die a worse death out in the wild than they would in the slaughterhouse, he said. Theyll suffer a heck of a lot more.
