There's been a lot of talk about the City's budget and your property taxes. I want to set the record straight about the budget and your taxes over the last three years, as well as what you get in return. Bear with me; it can be challenging to explain the City's budget, but I hope by reading through this blog post, you'll be able to gain a clearer understanding of property taxes and how the City uses your money.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz knows exactly what he is doing and he thinks he is achieving all of his goals. His disruptive tactics are winning him acclaim from conservative Americans who disdain all things Washington, while the Republican establishment is fuming with anger.
Many issues will come up when the civic elections happen in October. One important issue that should take a seat front and centre in the campaigns is whether the City cares about public engagement when it comes to new developments that are due to appear right next door to your home. If the cases of the Stadium Centre and Shawnee-Evergreen developments are of any indication, Calgarians should expect a rude awakening when plans are put in place to reshape communities.
In the 20th century, much of the divide in politics and policy was over how best to create jobs, incomes and keep people from starving--how to create opportunity as part of the good life. Those on the "left" argued for state intervention and often outright state ownership; those on the "right" pointed to open markets and other elements of capitalism as the superior route to avoiding poorer populations.
A few years ago I came up with an algorithm to help determine the number of films I could see in a season, attempting to break my 2010 record of 32 films in 10 days. Thus far, the elusive 33rd film continues to escape me. Perhaps this year?
Sometimes the worst of times may be the best of times in disguise. I repeat the caveat: sometimes. Case in point, let's look at four very different mayors from across Canada: Gérald Tremblay, Rob Ford, Naheed Nenshi, and Colette Roy-Laroche. They all faced different types of crises this summer, and their responses defined them in the public eye.
Leading up to their 37th year, TIFF announced a fantastic lineup of films that--if films were chocolate--would make a cinema buff salivate. While the complete listing is a smorgasbord of foreign, local, big-name and independent items, there are a few that I particularly want to see. So here you have just a handful of entries on Shannon's list of films she hopes will make their way from TIFF to CIFF this year.
I love film. Foreign and documentary, quirky and Indie; I even enjoy the occasional Hollywood Box Office buster or blunder. But my favorite films are the ones you don't see coming; the ones you have to pay attention to; the ones that force you outside of a black-and-white comfort zone and into the "grey area". Films like The Attack.

How a Stalled Submarine Sank North Korea's Hopes
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: November 17, 1996
SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 15— Somewhere in the mountains near the gash of barbed wire and trenches that divides the Korean Peninsula, a single North Korean commando is thought to be hiding in the woods, trying to sneak back home again.
He has evaded 60,000 South Korean troops and is now the only survivor at large of 26 North Korean infiltrators who swam ashore in September when their submarine ran aground on the South Korean coast. Yet even if he creeps safely across the minefields to return home to a hero's welcome, bringing with him photos and other intelligence, the submarine mission could scarcely have been more catastrophic for North Korea's other interests.
The intrusion of the 106-foot submarine seems for now to have scuttled a process of engagement intended to bring North Korea out of isolation and help ease its famine. Most political experts say inter-Korean relations will eventually get back on track. But some fear that tensions could unravel recent progress, including a landmark 1994 accord under which North Korea agreed to give up its suspected nuclear weapons program.
South Korea, whose policy toward North Korea resembles a slalom course, has now veered again, this time inaugurating a hard line. The South is refusing to cooperate with the North unless it receives an apology for the submarine incursion and a promise that such incursions will not happen again.
''Time is on our side, not theirs,'' said South Korea's chief Foreign Ministry spokesman, Suh Dae Won. ''You know the food and energy situation there.''
Mr. Suh says North Korea's problems may lead it to apologize. But some American and South Korean experts worry that famine and economic disintegration could lead the North to use the only asset it has left: an army well fortified with chemical weapons and artillery aimed at Seoul. It might launch a skirmish to break the deadlock, or even try to invade the South.
''We're preparing,'' said Lieut. Gen. Park Yong Ok, the Assistant Defense Minister. ''We think that North Korea will make large- or small-scale military provocations.''
So American and Korean experts alike summarize the upshot of the submarine incident, two months later, as follows: a surge of tension, fears of further military provocations or even war, stalling of the engagement process, a growing number of hungry North Korean peasants and a reminder that it is hard to find a place less predictable than the Korean Peninsula.
Yet the submarine's one accomplishment, from North Korea's point of view, is the creation of a rift between Washington and Seoul.
Already, some American officials seem to feel that their biggest headache on the peninsula is the Government in the South. For their part, many South Koreans are still fuming about how after the submarine incursion Secretary of State Warren Christopher called for restraint from ''all parties.'' For the South Koreans, that was too evenhanded for comfort.
One of the puzzles remains what the submarine's mission was. Of the 26 infiltrators, only 1 was captured alive, and he apparently did not know the mission. General Park said the purpose may have been to set up an armed hideout in the mountains, in preparation for future terrorism.
''It was not purely an intelligence mission,'' he said.
The South Korean Army's difficulty in capturing the commandos has also rattled self-confidence here, particularly because North Korea is believed to have nearly 100,000 special forces whose mission would be to infiltrate rear areas of South Korea at the beginning of an invasion. South Korea's Defense Ministry, which in recent years had focused on preparing for front-line combat, is adjusting its military doctrine to emphasize detection of infiltrators.
Still, the uproar over the submarine strikes some experts as disingenuous. While South Korea gets its data on the North from satellite images supplied by Washington, the North gets its intelligence from infiltrators, and submarines are believed to drop off infiltrators regularly. Some military experts say the unusual element in this case was not that a submarine dropped off commandos, but that it got caught.
Thus, many Koreans say another reason President Kim Young Sam of South Korea has reacted so harshly is to shore up his popularity at home.
''Politically, it's a way for Kim Young Sam to maintain tension and authority to prevent himself from becoming a lame duck,'' said Michael Breen, a Seoul resident and a consultant with expertise on North Korea. Mr. Kim, who declined to be interviewed, has just over a year left in office, and cannot run again.
One indication that the hard line in South Korea is not temporary is that Foreign Minister Gong Ro Myung, a natural conciliator, resigned this month, apparently forced out. He was replaced by Yoo Chong Ha, who displays a more truculent attitude toward the North.
Both men briefed the United States Ambassador, James T. Laney, on the submarine incursion on the same day, but the briefings were far apart in tone, a Washington official said. Mr. Gong gave a measured assessment; Mr. Yoo's was pugnacious.

By Mr. Isidro Reyna (USACE)May 9, 2012
GALVESTON, Texas (May 9, 2012) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District awarded a contract to Orion Marine Construction Inc., in the amount of $2,687,000 for maintenance dredging of the lower reach of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway's (GIWW) Channel to Victoria in Calhoun County, Texas.
The contractor is required to remove approximately 985,000 cubic yards of material using a pipeline dredge.
"This dredge work allows the Corps to fulfill its mission of providing safe and navigable waterways for vessels importing and exporting goods through the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway," said Christopher C. Frabotta, deputy chief of USACE Galveston's Operations Division. "All dredge material from this contract will be placed within adjacent upland confined disposal areas."
Work will begin within the next 30 days and is scheduled to be completed by September 2012.
According to Frabotta, the 423-mile long Texas stretch of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway links Texas ports with the rest of the nation, allows ocean-going shipping to connect with barge traffic, and handles up to 90 million tons of freight annually.
USACE Galveston District was established in 1880 as the first engineer district in Texas to oversee river and harbor improvements. The district is directly responsible for maintaining more than 1,000 miles of channel, including 270 miles of deep draft and 750 miles of shallow draft as well as the Colorado River Locks and Brazos River Floodgates.

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Assembly required only a screwdriver; took 5 minutes. Had a "rocker" style kneeling chair in the 90's, but this version w/wheels is more convenient. I'm 5'9". The chair fits me fine, but am not sure how well it would work for taller people or those with longer legs. Would recommend trying before buying, if you can find one to try, and would test it over at least 2-3 hours, as just sitting on one for a minute or two may not reveal how it will really fit you. Many people buy these to help with back pain. I use it to alleviate leg pain from sitting in normal chairs and car seats. Works well for this.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality seems fine. Have only had it for a month, but use it for most of the workday. Can't comment on longer-term quality.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes.
I LOVE this kneeling stool. Before the day was over my 3-week long backache was subsiding and by the next day it was gone. It has not returned since I have been using this chair/stool. I'm a believer! I'm not going back to a chair again & will keep this at my desk forever. I work on the computer all day long so this has fixed all sorts of back ache problems for me. what a lifesaver! The knee pads are plenty squishy too.
The stool is really comfortable. My back doesn't bother me anymore at all!. I work out of my house and sometimes spend 6-7 hours a day sitting in it. My only complaint is the size. The stool sits on wheels which cause the seat to be a little higher than what is truly comfortable. Initially, I found that I constantly needed to lean over to see the computer screen and reach the keyboard. I've propped them, so there are no longer problems, but the additional height still causes an issue in that I can't push the chair completely under the desk I'm done working.
Too soon to evaluate its effects but it seems to be comfortable enough and surely changes my posture at the computer.
- How accurate was the sizing? OK
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good but sharp edges need to be wrapped to prevent skin injuries upon un packing.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
Boy am I sorry I bought this stool ,very uncomfortable, not enought padding for the knees, and knee board should be a little more slanted, poor design. Not recommended
This stool is great if you have a bad back, which I do. I love this stool and have only one complaint which my husband fix. The item that raised or lets down the seat keep slipping downward.I am well under the maxinim weight limit. So we just inserted several nuts to hold it in place. Now it is perfect but I cannot lower the seat. It is fine as it is.
This stool went together well and was delivered quickly. I love that it has a range to adjust the height for a variety of work surfaces.
Positive: Easy assembly. Simple design. Minimal footprint. Moves freely. Nicely adjustable. Plenty of padding. Nice black mottled fabric, not prone to lint or "balling" Negative: Fabric is a bit slippery making keeping ideal posture more difficult. Height adjuster is right where your heel is, causing you to bump it regularly, losing altitude. You won't get pinched, just annoying.
I have used the Boss Kneeling Stool prior to my purchase, so when I visited the web-site I was specifically looking for this seating. I used my seat basically for working and find it to be very comfortable. It allows me to move from my main computer to the reference computer with ease because of the rollers. I am very happy with this seat so far. The only thing that I would change would be the coloring. There should be a variety of color choices.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I have used the Boss Kneeling Stool before and came to the web site specifically looking for this seating.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes, the product was free of any manufacturer defects.
This is a nice change from a standard chair. It's comfortable, although the quality of the padding is so-so.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The padding in the kneeling part of the stool isn't firm enough. I put a pillow on it for support.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
The instructions were well written and the parts properly labeled. They even included the tools I needed!
- How accurate was the sizing? Precise.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
I needed a solution to the traditional desk chair for my computer work and this was the PERFECT thing! It was very easy to put together (5 minutes max) and seems sturdy. My only complaint is I feel the item is a bit expensive for what it is. The padding is not very thick on the seat or knee cushion and I am thinking the padding will compact in time and not be enough to be comfortable. For these reasons, I did not give it a 5 star rating. All in all, price and padding aside, I am happy I bought the kneeling stool and it has definitely helped my lower back pain.
- Did the product fit true to size? yes
- How is the quality of the product? good....would like to see the padding a bit more substantial.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
I was going to use this for my office chair. It was great for around 1/2 hour, but then became pretty uncomfortable on my legs. The pitch of the seat is such that your weight is on your knees, but the padding is totally inadequate. Unfortunately, not the answer for me.
This chair is surprisingly comfortable and holds your spine in good alignment.
Reduced my back pain the first day that I used it. Easy to assemble. The cover material is a little course.
As described. Took a bit of force to put on the casters though but all is good once you get those on correctly.
ihave usd this chair before as I have a bad back. It is perfect for me.
After sitting for more than 10 minutes, my knees were getting sore. It was too much stress on my back also, I need the back rest on a chair.
This chair is fantastic for my back. Now i've never pressur on my back down.
Very easy to put together, comfortable. Good quality for the price.

FURTHER drastic cuts in fish catches must be made this year because cod and hake stocks face total collapse, the European Commission has warned Margaret Beckett, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary.
Franz Fischler, the European fisheries commissioner, is pressing member states for cuts in fishing activity of 40-50 per cent. This would affect not only boats targeting cod and hake but those catching haddock, whiting, sole and plaice which take cod and hake as "by-catch."
British fishermen say the cuts would be devastating for the fishing fleet which is already suffering from high fuel prices last year and the closure of cod fishing areas for three months this year.
Mr Fischler conceded: "I am aware that this will have an impact on the viability of some fishing enterprises and on employment in the catching sector." But he pointed out that EU funds were available to compensate those losing their jobs.
His target is the first result of a three-day public hearing this month which confirmed that major fish stocks are facing collapse because of the failure of successive attempts to limit fishing and to introduce effective conservation measures.
Brussels may now temporarily close areas of the North Sea to fishing boats - the second time this year that such emergency action has been taken. Commission experts are still assessing the results after its ban on all cod fishing until April 30 to cover the crucial spawning period in more than 40,000 square miles of water.
EU fisheries ministers who meet later this month are likely to be told that fish stocks are so low that the tactic is the only short-term solution while longer-term recovery programmes are put in place. The starkest fact is that numbers of adult demersal fish - those living on the seabed - has fallen by 90 per cent since the early 1970s.
At present only three out of 10 North Sea cod reach maturity and four years of age and 60 per cent of the total tonnage of cod in the sea is caught each year.
Doug Beveridge, assistant chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations, said that a reduction in fishing activity would have to be met partly through a reduction in the fleet of 7,500 vessels, 2,500 of them over 10 metres, partly through area closures and partly through conservation measures such as mesh sizes.
Even though this would mean decommissioning around 20 per cent of the fleet, the effect would be "quite devastating". He said that the fleet could do far more in the way of decommissioning and restraint if the Government was prepared to offer more in transitional aid than the £6 million it offered at Christmas for decommissioning vessels in England.
"Will Mrs Beckett go to the Treasury?" he asked. "It would be cheaper to do something now than further down the line when stocks have crashed."

We like these lights and only wish the replacements were available in the stores. We did order online though and they came pretty quick.
These bulbs are fine and I'm glad they are available. Earlier reviews of the patio string lights said they couldn't find replacement bulbs. The diameter of the round frosted bulb is slightly smaller than the original bulbs, but not enough for anyone to notice if they aren't looking for it.

Lipari 41 Evolution launched by Fountaine Pajot
by Multihull Solutions on 29 Jul 2013
Lipari 41 Evolution Fountaine Pajot
One of Fountaine Pajot's most popular sailing catamarans has undergone an impressive upgrade with a host of design innovations. Multihull enthusiasts will be able to inspect the sparkling Lipari 41 Evolution at its Australasian launch at the 2013 Gold Coast Marine Expo from 1-3 November.
The catamaran has a new cockpit featuring an even larger opening to the saloon to maximise indoor and outdoor integration, as well as a sleek sofa that delivers an idyllic position for enjoying the sea views.
Inside, the galley has been rejuvenated with a synthetic resin benchtops and a 144-litre refrigerator with drawers that make it perfect for extended cruising. The galley opens directly on to the cockpit dining area for particularly convenient for entertaining.
The aft cabins have been redesigned to include additional wide bays with opening portholes that optimise natural lighting and ventilation.
The Lipari 41 Evolution will undoubtedly solidify the model's status as one of the world's top cruising catamarans in its class, with more than 150 of its predecessors already sold since its initial launch in 2010.
The catamaran has been constructed with a low centre of gravity and light displacement of 7.6T to ensure safety, stability with optimal comfort and performance in all conditions. Its two 20Hp standard engines provide a cruising speed of 7.7 knots, while the option of two larger 30Hp engines offers up to 9.5 knots if required.
Aesthetically, the Lipari 41 Evolution represents the pinnacle of European excellence with elegant lines and a revolutionary design that maximises space, storage and comfort.
The catamaran's ergonomically designed deck provides convenient centralised handling with obstacle-free movement. Built with advanced RTM éco technology, the Lipari 41 outshines its competitors in innovation with the mast built into the deck rather than the roof for reinforced structural rigidity and ease of handling.
Priced from AUD$580,000, the Lipari 41 Evolution is available in two versions: The Quatuor features four cabins with two separate bathrooms and is ideal for family and charter use. The Maestro is a true Owner's version with an exclusive private suite in the starboard hull including a decadent queen sized bed, desk, library and beautiful ensuite with contemporary designer fixtures.
Multihull Solutions sold the first Australian Lipari 41 Evolution to Queensland clients Andy and Elaine Richards who spent three years researching catamarans to find the right model that could suit their plans to live onboard.
'I wanted a boat around 12 to 14 metres that could sail well, and my wife wanted something like a massive city apartment,' Andy said.
'I have sailed a lot when I was younger, and although Elaine hasn't done much sailing, what she did she loved, and the idea of going on holidays and taking the house with her just seemed perfect,' he said.
The couple became disheartened after contacting numerous brokers to help them find a boat until they contacted Multihull Solutions.
'Despite probably seeing us tyre kickers they treated us with respect and were extremely courteous and attentive. They came with a well-deserved reputation for being honest and good to deal with. We knew we wanted to engage with Multihull Solutions to help us purchase our boat, either as a broker or buyer's agent, as we trusted them to look after our interests,' Andy said.
'Richard from Multihull Solutions rang one day to let us know that there was a 'show special' price on the Lipari 41 available as part of the 2012 Gold Coast Marine Expo. We really hadn't thought we could afford a new Lipari, but with the strength of the AUD and the 'show price' we did the numbers and were pleasantly surprised.
'The only catch was due to the popularity of the Lipari we would have to wait almost a year to take delivery. We had planned to go to the Gold Coast Marine Expo to look at boats anyway, but this time we went with pen and our chequebook.
'We have spent the last nine months counting down the days, and we are ecstatic that thanks to Multihull Solutions, our boat will be the new model Lipari 41 Evolution. The long wait was worth it and we are ecstatic,' he said.
Their new Lipari 41 Evolution will be home for Andy and Elaine, and although initially based in Brisbane where they will enjoy sailing on Moreton Bay, the couple plans to eventually head north and explore the South Pacific.
'We know the catamaran will very comfortably fulfill our wish for a 'liveable home' that can sail safely and comfortably, and sail well.
Further information, inspections and test sails of the new Lipari 41 Evolutions can be arranged by contacting Multihull Solutions on 1300 855 338 (within Australia) or 0508 MULTIS (within New Zealand), emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or visiting the website at

Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
Press Release
green transportation, electric car, electric car charging station, Triton College, Illinois
For the New Year, Triton College has further fueled its quest in becoming an eco-friendly campus by installing electric car charging stations that are open to the community for use.
The charging stations, made possible through a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, are Triton's latest initiative in supporting sustainability and providing cutting-edge technology on its campus.
Charging stations (240 volts) have been installed around campus and are marked with a green designated parking sign. Electric car charging rates are $1 an hour for Triton students, faculty and staff and $2 an hour for the public. Most electric cars take about four hours for a complete charge with a Level-2 charger, as compared to a Level-1 charging station (120 volts) which can double the time.
To use the electric car charging stations, customers must contact ChargePoint at the number listed on the charging stations to begin a session and/or setup a ChargePoint account, after which customers will receive their ChargePoint card in the mail. Visit ChargePoint.net for more information.

The number comes from Stephens Michaels and Associates.
Today I recieved a call from Stephens Michaels and Associates calling from a different number. They were calling from 1-866-201-0940. Previously the calls were coming from 1-866-679-9649. The man failed to identify himself and immediately asked to speak to my daughter. I told him he was calling my number and thus it was the wrong number. He became argumentative. I then asked for his address to send a cease and desist letter and he wanted to again argue and he started shouting at me telling me he did not care it was my phone. He refused to give me his address saying he wasn't going to give the address and I didn't need it and I had to hang up on him because he was shouting at this point and talking all over me.
I am tired of this.
The US has laws governing the debt collection agencies but they are never enforced and these companies know it. Please have these people stop contacting me. This phone is in my name. Not my daughter's. It is not her phone. It is for my use. She doesn't live with me. They don't care. I went to their website and they did not have their address listed anywhere on their website. At all. There was no way to contact them except through phone.
Will someone please actually hold this company accountable for harrassment and for breaking the law with the robocalls and failing to identify themself and failing to honor my request to have them stop calling my cell phone. Also, it was my understanding that debt collector companies are suppose to give out their address when asked or someway to send a letter yet this company refuses and keeps their address off their website.I googled to find their address from Topix Forums (Stephens & Michaels has a have a lot of complaints against them for harrassment) and all the addresses are different. It appears the company constantly switches addresses. Please help.

Lindsay Debt Collectors Are SCUM...
AUTHOR: Elam - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 09, 2013POSTED: Saturday, March 09, 2013
And second, Lindsay, Stephens Michaels & Associates are walking a very slippery slope because THE PHONE BILL IS REGISTERED TO MY MOTHER and that by definition would make it HER PHONE. It is for HER PRIMARY USE and not MINE and when she notifies your SCUMBAG former employer it is HER PHONE they should heed what she says. SHE HAS THE BILL TO PROVE IT. YOU DUMB a*s.
And second, you LIE. I have googled Stephens Michaels & Associates and their address does NOT come up. They have also left it OFF THEIR WEBSITE. Hmmm... I wonder why?
And of course they break FDCPA laws. I have been advised of that when I called the FTC and reported their behavior. They have continued to call my mother after being informed that they were not calling me and instead harrassing HER and I was advised that the minute they disregarded what she stated and continued to call AFTER being advised they were BREAKING THE LAW. So IDIOT you LIED AGAIN.
Apparently, nothing has to be in writing. I was informed by the FTC Agent I spoke to that if I can tape the call and it shows either me or my mom telling them not to call that is a VIOLATION of the LAW.
And I am rubbing my hands together. I have purchased a RECORDER for my mom's phone. And I will be recording EVERY SINGLE CALL these SCUMBAGS make to her because I will instruct her to SUE THEM. They'll end up OWING more than the paltry 6 year old debt (that is passed the statute of limitations anyway so they CAN'T SUE to collect) LOLOL!! The d**n Debt is 6 years old and only a FOOL would pay it now. It would restart the CLOCK YOU d**n DUMMY and make the debt run for ANOTHER SEVEN YEARS instead of simply being removed. You debt collectors are not just SLIMY you are also DUMB AS DOORKNOBS.
So Lindsay, CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR HOLE. You must be a MAJOR REJECT to be rejected from working as a DEBT COLLECTOR. Obviously you weren't any good if they got rid of you.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Room was clean, spacious and well apportioned.
The hallways could have been cleaner. One exterior door was in poor repair.
Location. Friendly staff.
Carpet was filthy. Staff had pets running loose, even in the breakfast area. This is far less than a 2 star.
I got what I expected from this stay
Air conditioner didn't seem too efficient
The Bed and pillows were wonderful...had a better night sleep than at home. The room was neat & very clean and tidy with new carpet, the vanity & bath area newly tiled and attractive. Extra amenities that were nice: cosmetic make-up remover packet, in room coffee maker w/reg & decaf pkts 2 each, small tech and microwave. Only minor critique wld be watery scrambled eggs and not enough space to sit for breakfast when I was there. Very personable front desk staff. Wld definitely stay again.
Price, Location, Breakfast
The room was nice and the staff was friendly during my stay. Breakfast was great. However, I was given a hard time from the beginning of my stay because I booked through KAYAK.com instead of booking directly through the hotel. Unprofessional? Yes. I also requested a check-out receipt the day after my stay and received one. However, I lost it (oops). I needed this receipt to get reimbursed for my stay because my company was paying for it. When I called them the next day and requested that they email or fax me that same receipt, they told me they had no way of giving me a receipt at all because I booked through KAYAK.com. I was dumbfounded by this because I had already received one from them! So I know there is a way, obviously. Over the next 2 weeks, I called and asked for the General Manager and spoke with the receptionist who was working that particular day and asked them all for a receipt. I never received a call back. I still have yet to receive one. I was even told that it wasn't the hotel's fault that I used KAYAK! How rude! I even offered to drive TWO AND HALF HOURS back to the hotel and get a hand written receipt. The General Manager refused this and blamed me using KAYAK as the reason he could not pick up a pen and write the dates I was there. This stay went from being great to becoming a horrible nightmare! Moral of the story? Don't lose your receipt? Or don't stay in a hotel with the most unhelpful and rude staff? Your choice. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone or stay there again!
Front Desk very courteous.
Bar & Restaurant staff was great and food was much better than expected!!
Old hotel- translates to loud... Foot steps, talking, ect...
Located adjacent to Grande Sports World.
The location worked great for our purposes. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed.
The hotel is incredibly old, it has some new features (granite counter tops) but our room smelled musty, the carpets and floors need to be replaced. The piping below the sink in the bathroom had a thick layer of dust on it.
Room service came very late in the day, when they were finally able to clean our room they said there were too many personal belongings in the way and they couldn't clean. Totally fine, but they didn't leave ANY new towels!
Location was close to where I was visiting
I chose seagal because of the location. It turned out to be a mistake. The bed was terrible, had to call the front desk for a trash can ,they didn't have an ice machine, there wasn't any ice trays in the fridge, there was no place to put your luggage. And there was so much paper work to check in, even though it was booked with Kayak! Then there was a $50 deposit, that you had to go get credited to your card,at check out.( more paper work). I will never stay with seagal suite hotels again!!
It was the worst Motel experience we have had. We will not be back.
The beds in the hotel are awesome!
Location to down town casa grande. Ease of getting to parking. Only 3 or 4 other guests.checked in during our stay.. Check in was pleasent.
Dark and dingey room. Drapes difficult to open. No services from staff after check in for two days. Towels were like sand paper. No vent fan in bath room. Filthy vent over wash basin in bed room. No coffee or vending or ice was available. Rotten wood ?
There was nothing to like, the place is awfull.
Coachroaches. Noise. Smell.
The owner/Manager was very ameanable. It took some time(20min) when I first arrived to get into the room. The Owner/Manager stated he did not want to put me into a very cold room because I was wet from the rain outside. I was ill and impatient.
The remote controll for TV did not work! No ice bucket to obtain ice in. (only a cup). The yippy dog next door continued until 10:30.
The night employees were rude, and the too. Did not even have a land line
the location of the hotel was nice, it was right off the highway
it really needs to be updated
Rooms were dirty.
That they offered a comparable room for 1/3 the price of the competition. Room was very clean!
The bed and tv were terrible. I was never able to use the internet service and help was not available because I never recieved a call back. Noise from other rooms was easily heard. The heater/air conditioner was loud but controlled the temperature well.
Bathtub was dirty, with hairs, bed was so old.
Thin walls. I could hear everything going on in the room above ours and next door.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Riteish Deshmukh's adult comedy talks!
Talking to the PTI, Riteish said that some kind of innocence in adult comedy films is necessary without going overboard. Kya Super Kool Hain Hum is the much-awaited sequel of the erstwhile comic blockbuster Kya Kool Hain Hum. The film also stars Tusshar Kapoor, Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias.
Talking about the sequel, Riteish said that the movie revolves around the story of two innocent men who get into trouble doing things. The actor also talks about the uniqueness and newness in the storyline and how it would give the audience the flavour of a new kind of humour.

Writing Tips: Kurt Vonnegut's 8 Essentials for a Good Short Story.
With "deep-bone sadness" that often turned into dark-tongue humor, one of the most unique and unforgettable voices of XXth century American literature, Mr. Vonnegut, serves you the eight, most essential rules to writing a short story.
How this applies to you even if you're not (technically) a short story writer.
Because see… in the end, you are. Whatever you're writing—whether it is poetry, a longer piece of fiction, or even non-fiction, you're always telling a story.
In fact, it goes even deeper—if you'll allow me some Vonnegut-inflated, garage philosophy: we live in stories and we can't understand life outside the story concept.
Our entire memory, our concept of the world is but a big storyboard.
Everything we've ever known is a story, within another story—and even the deepest, most literal and scientific truth has a fictional side that confirms its exception, if only, in the telling and understanding of it.
As such, the better you understand our human Art of Storytelling—both in writing and on that bigger scale of things called "life"—the richer your short experience on Earth will be.

text: Posted December 27, 2012 I agree but I do think Cam should be the secured as the highest paid player on the team, which in turn will bring in quality free agents at a discount because they want to be a part of a winner with an electric young QB. I think Cam will get a record contract, which will be broken when the Redskins and Colts give their guys even bigger one's. It's the nature of the beast.

Two Intense House Team Bouts Determine Semi-Finals Match Up
Photo by Scott Douglas Hemenway
The fourth and final regular season double header took place on June 6 at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster. The results of these bouts determine who is matched up against whom in the June 26 semifinals. First up was Public Frenemy versus the Faster Pussycats, followed by the Bad Reputations taking on the Riot Girls.
Currently undefeated this season in house league play, Public Frenemy was looking to continue their winning streak against the 1-1 Faster Pussycats. Last time these two teams met in the preseason, Frenemy came out victorious. Since then, the rookie-heavy Pussycats have gained valuable game experience and were looking stronger every game. Injuries have plagued Public Frenemy, while the fresh, spry Pussycats always seemed to land on their feet.
Frenemy jumped to an early lead in the first half, due in part to an impenetrable defense that included dynamic recycling and solid walls. Lexter TWreckster, with her lightning quick feet and ninja jamming skills, along with the always powerful jamming duo Stevie Wonder and Green Machine, put points on the board for Frenemy. However, Pussycats Drago and Scarlet Starlet had some success against the PF walls, and kept the game within reach. At the half, the score was 79 for Public Frenemy, 35 for the Faster Pussycats.
Public Frenemy looked to build on their lead in the second half, but the Pussycats still had nine lives left. Bannock! at the Disco looked swifter and nimbler than ever, juking through the Pussycat packs, even calling off the jam while spinning and skating backwards! Undaunted, the Pussycats continued to claw away, with La Zole and Silent Hill both putting points on the board. Plenty of consecutive jammer penalties and power jams for both teams kept the bout interesting and the scoring high. In the end, Public Frenemy remained undefeated in Season 9.0, with a 189 - 73 win over the Faster Pussycats.
The second match-up of the night featured the Bad Reputations against the Riot Girls. The Riot Girls were looking to secure second place with a win, while the Bad Reputations were seeking their first win of the season. As the two original TCRG teams, the Riot Girls and the Bad Reps have an adversarial past filled with intense conflict and begrudging respect. Due to a shortage of players in their original roster, the Riot Girls were playing some of their pick-up players as jammers, including the always impressive Smoke Show and Venom, while the Bad Reps stuck with their solid core of jammers, including Traumatic Acid and 100% Real Canadian Bacon. The first half of this match-up was filled with intense back and forth play, with five (count them, five!) lead changes. At one point in the second half, the point differential was between tied and four points for nine consecutive jams. At half time, the Riot Girls were ahead by the slimmest of margins, 73 - 63 over the Bad Reputations.
Going into the second half, the Riot Girls looked to make their lead more comfortable. Annie Means Necessary showed why she is the Riot Girl's top jammer as she continued to pile up the points, while her blocking crew of Hurt Russell and Great Big C held back the Bad Reps. It was a barn burner of a match up, with three more lead changes before all was said and done. At one point in the second half the on track action became so intense that it whipped commentators Dr. Jenny Fever and Mike the Mic into such a fevered derby frenzy that head referee Wheezie Rider had to ask the commentators to "please calm down!" Towards the end of the game, when things could have gone either way, Bad Reps blockers Battouta Hell and Major Assets forced a series of Riot Girls jammer penalties that Trauma and Bacon capitalized on to change the lead to their favour and help the Bad Reps hold out for their first glorious win of the season. What an amazing game! Final score was 159 for the Bad Reputations, 137 for the Riot Girls.
Be sure to get your tickets to Semi-Finals, June 20th at Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster. The Riot Girls will be looking to redeem themselves against the Bad Reputations, while the Faster Pussycats look for retribution against Public Frenemy. Tickets available online!

House Team Double-Header Action this Saturday at Royal City Curling Club
By RiannaConda
Coming up on Saturday, June 6, you can catch all four house teams ready to battle once again at the Royal City Curling Club. Season Nine has been full of action and it is not going to stop anytime soon! Join us as the first bout of the night features the undefeated Public Frenemy taking on the ferocious Faster Pussycats.
Public Frenemy will be looking to keep their winning streak going, so you can bet this bout will be full of fast paced, hard hitting action. They've been training hard, and you can bet they'll do anything to stay on top. Although the Pussycats are in the series 1 for 1, these girls are ready to take over the number one spot and strip Frenemy of their pristine title! Both teams are looking incredibly strong this season; blockers and jammers are trying new strategies to keep up with the always evolving game. Last weekend, Public Frenemy pulled the infamous "Pegassist" from the jam line against the Riot Girls to earn lead jammer before the pack even hit the pivot line.
The mayhem won't stop after the last whistle of the first bout. Bout number two will be just as entertaining with the Bad Reputations taking on the Riot Girls. The Bad Reps are down on their luck as they've lost both previous games this season, but don't let that be any indication of their relentless ambition to win! In their last game against the Pussycats, they managed to score over 110 points late in the second half, even after several players fouled out with several penalties. The Riot Girls aren't going to give up a win easily though; even with their short roster during their last game, they put up one heck of a fight. Sending out their strong jammers and maintaining tight blocking walls, the Riot Girls closed the points gap by the end of the game to just over 50 points.
All four teams are warmed up and ready to bring their A-game to this next event, so be sure to grab your tickets and head over early to get the good track-side seating! Tickets are available online or at the door by cash or credit card. Our 19+ lounge area upstairs has cold drinks and awesome seats, and there will be food trucks outside the venue. Our 50/50 draws at halftime don't disappoint, so don't go too far! Doors will open at 5:00pm, and the first whistle blows at 6:00pm.
House Team Action in New Westminster: Bad Reputations vs Faster Pussycats and Riot Girls vs Public Frenemy
by The Great Gashby
Photo by TJ Chase Photography
The third double header of the TCRG regular season was Saturday, May 23rd at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster. It was strictly house team play this time around, with all four teams on the track. To start things off, there was a match-up between the Faster Pussycats and the Bad Reputations, followed by the Riot Girls taking on Public Frenemy to cap off the evening.
Both the Bad Reputations and the Faster Pussycats picked up plenty of fresh new players in this year's fresh meat draft, and their shiny enthusiasm was infectious. Both teams also suffered losses in their first game of the season, so were looking for redemption. The Bad Reps jumped to an early lead in the first few jams, capitalizing on FPC penalties. Multiple power jams for both team ratcheted up the points, with Pussycat jammers Drago and Scarlet Starlet seizing these opportunities. Thin packs for the Bad Reps impacted their ability to stop the FPC jammers, though Battouta Hell and Dimples Diablo tried valiantly. At the half, Pussycats had a sizable lead 154 – 63.
Always dangerous, no matter the score, the Bad Reputations aimed to make a comeback in the second half. Strong jamming by Real Canadian Bacon and Siren Says brought the Bad Reps within eighty points of the Faster Pussycats' lead. Both teams suffered due to penalty troubles, and had key players foul out of the game. Rookie La Zole continued to show grit and tenacity in her jamming, and added points to the Pussycats' total. In the end, the Pussycat's held on for the win, 224 – 176.
The Riot Girls and Public Frenemy were looking to continue their winning streaks, as both teams were victorious in their respective opening day bouts. Public Frenemy started the bout strong, with Red Sonja and Deathly Innocent pushing PF to an early 22 to 0 score. The Riot Girls answered back with a 17 point jam by BruiseBerry Pie. Fierce, fast-paced game play kept the score close and the bout action packed. Midway through the first half, PF held the Riot Girls scoreless for five straight jams, while increasing their own score incrementally. In the final jam of the first half, Public Frenemy's Jessica Rabid dazzled the crowd with an apex-jump, increasing PF's lead by 65 points (116 – 51).
The battle continued, fast and physical, with both the Riot Girls and Public Frenemy scoring points and taking hits. Strong jamming by Annie Means Necessary helped keep the game within reach for the Riot Girls. Novel skaters made a stand on the jammer line, including Public Frenemy's Sambooka Cha Cha Cha and Riot Girl Smackin 'em, as both teams dug deep into their jammer rotation. The Riot Girls made a push at the end, but Public Frenemy held on for the win; final score was 178-122.
Join us for the final games of Season 9.0 regular season on Saturday, June 6th at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster (doors open at 5pm). Match-ups will include the Faster Pussycats taking on Public Frenemy, and the Bad Reputations taking on the Riot Girls. Hope to see you there!
More season 9 action May 23!
by Rianna Conda
With the season opener events behind us, Season 9 for the Terminal City Rollergirls is officially
Our next double header coming up on Saturday, May 23 first features the Faster Pussycats taking on the Bad Reputations. A few weeks ago, the Pussycats lost their first game of the season to the Riot Girls. Just last weekend, the Bad Reps fell short of beating Public Frenemy by over 100 points. The 'Cats and the 'Reps met once in the pre-season, and that game was a mere 30 point difference with the Pussycats claiming victory at 170 points. It's been a few months now since the two teams have met on the track, but you can be sure that each team will be fighting hard with the momentum of the last few weeks. You don't want to miss the action of this first game as both teams will be fighting hard for their first win of the season!
The action doesn't stop there, as the second bout of the evening showcases the Riot Girls versus Public Frenemy. Both of these teams have won their first game of season 9, so they're both thirsty for victory. The Riot Girls are last seasons' Mercury Shield champions, and they want to maintain their title by beginning the season undefeated; however Public Frenemy are ready to duke it out and snag that away from them. With both teams fighting hard to stay on top, you can bet this game is going to be fast-paced and hard-hitting! Just because it's early in the season, doesn't mean anyone's holding back!
You can catch all the action at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster. Doors open at 5:00pm, and the first bout whistle is at 6:00pm. Tickets are available online or at the door by cash or credit card. There will be food trucks as well as an upstairs lounge for those aged 19 years or older, and you can always bet on fresh team merchandise and half-time entertainment!

Friday Grab Bag: Creativity enhancers, procrastination, and gifts for legal professionals
Thinking of leaving the law? Over the last couple of weeks, the JD Bliss blog has featured several stories about lawyers who've left the law or found a way to combine practice with creative pursuits like making jewelry and writing. And if you're a lawyer nurturing a creative dream, read This Time I Dance: Creating the Work Your Love by Tama J. Kieves. Although this book is designed to help people find a way to leave practice, it could also help with finding a way to incorporate a creative endeavor. The book includes one key wake-up call question: If you're this successful doing work you don't love, what could you do with work you do love?
Struggling to put together an argument in one of your cases? Although practicing law is largely a left-brain function, there is creativity in choosing how to put together a brief, an argument, and so on. Sometimes, the best way to get the brain moving is to distract it. Cristina Favreau has three good ideas on how to Melt Brain Freeze. While it may not be possible to drop everything and go gardening, exercise so often facilitates problem-solving that it's another compelling reason to incorporate work-out time into your schedule.
If procrastination an issue for you, check this podcast in which David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, talks about what causes procrastination and how to move past it. (Incidentally, did you hear that Apple is claiming that "podcast" infringes its trademarks? ZDNet argues, quite persuasively, that the action doesn't reflect so much fear of confusion as it does fear of Apple's inability to obtain its own trademark for iPodcast.)
Changes in Harvard's 1L curriculum: After 130 years, Harvard has altered its 1L curriculum to add classes in Legislation/Regulation, a class in international or comparative law, and a special January-term class in "Problems and Theories."
Finally, it's time to think about holiday gifts. For the lawyer/judge/paralegal on your list, or perhaps as a treat for yourself, check out The Billable Hour. Offerings include watches and clocks that mark time in tenths of an hour (no more nasty mental gymnastics while completing timesheets!), as well as an extensive series of greeting cardsmade especially for lawyers. (An example: lawyer speaks to his dog: "I hope you appreciate that each 'walk' costs $175 of my billable time." Dog thinks: "I hope you appreciate that I'm your only friend.") Biting and either colorful or evocative of New Yorker cartoons, these cards are just plain fun. (In full disclosure, The Billable Hour is syndicating some of my blog posts in its newsletter — but I liked the cards long before that ever happened.)

I'm new to WordPress. Can't get main tabs at the top of page to have the address they need. For instance, I created an about page, but WordPress gave the page an ID of "2" instead of http:www/mydomain.com/about, and I don't see anywhere to correct it myself.
Also, the pages I imported aren't showing under their page addresses. They're listed by WordPress as pages 1 - 110.
These are two separate issues. Can anyone help?

Okay, the title of this post may have thrown you off, but hopefully it also lured you in so that you can hear me out.
What's the story here? Just that herpes is way more common than most people realize, and that you can get it from people who may or may not even know that they have it.
Herpes is a virus that causes outbreaks of blister-like lesions on the skin. Many people have had these on their mouth, where they are known as cold sores. When these same lesions appear on the genitals they are known as genital herpes. Technically they are two different versions of the same virus. HSV-1 is usually found in oral herpes cases. HSV-2 is usually found in genital herpes cases, but either virus can cause outbreaks in either location. Upstairs can go downstairs, and downstairs can go upstairs, as it were. Ahem.
According to the American Sexual Health Association, it's estimated that about 50% of the adult population have had a cold sore on their mouth at some point in their life, meaning they have HSV-1. Half the population! That means that half the population could potentially give you genital herpes if they performed unprotected oral sex on you, so use protection, ask for your partner's STI status well BEFORE you engage in any hanky panky, and don't forget to ask if they've ever had a cold sore. If they have, you may be at risk to contract herpes. Unfortunately, most people who are infected with the herpes virus never show any symptoms, so even if they've never had an outbreak, they could STILL give you herpes.
According to the Center for Disease Control, around one in six people aged 14 to 49 in the United States have the HSV-2 virus, AKA genital herpes. One in six. That's a lot. Same deal here, they may have never had an outbreak, but they can still give it to you, and YOU can have an outbreak! If you have one outbreak, you'll likely have more, as the herpes virus will stay with you forever.The good news though is that the outbreaks tend to decrease in frequency and severity over time.
The best way to minimize your risk of getting herpes is to know the STI status of all your partners, and to know your own. You can (and should) be one of those awesome responsible people who doesn't give their partners the surprise gift that nobody wants. Routine STI screenings won't check for the herpes virus, so you have to ask for it specifically.
To get a test for herpes, ask for an IGG-type specific blood test. It will show if you have antibodies to either of the two viruses, and tell you which one, if either, you have. This test will only pick up the antibodies though, which take about three to four months after the initial outbreak to show up, so it isn't 100% accurate. Just do the best you can. And always practice safer sex (no sex is totally "safe").
Use protection when your partner's STI status is unknown. That means dental dams for cunnalingus and analingus, and condoms for anal sex, vaginal sex, sex toys if shared between partners, fellatio, etc. And even if you DO use condoms every time, herpes has an asymptomatic shedding period, when the virus can be passed even if there are no sores, and only the part of the body that the condom is covering is protected, and herpes can be spread from scrotum to vulva.
But even if you do all of those things, some people will STILL get herpes!
I have four friends who I know have herpes. (All names have been changed to protect their privacy.)
Susie got an outbreak of herpes out of nowhere. Her ex-boyfriend had it, but she'd never had any signs of it. Six months after she left him she got her first outbreak.
Carmen and Leslie each had their first outbreaks of herpes after several years of being with their monogamous male partners. In both cases, their boyfriends had never so much as a cold sore, and both men tested negative for herpes. Where did it come from? Had they been exposed to it earlier and the virus lay dormant for years before deciding "to rear its ugly-ass head" (as Leslie said)? No one knows.
Karen got it from her boyfriend performing oral sex on her. She'd never had sexual intercourse. He didn't have any cold sores on his mouth. She still got herpes. Total bummer.
In addition, Amanda told me that her MOTHER had a first outbreak of genital herpes at the age of 67. She has no clue how she got it, having only had two partners her whole life.
None of these women had sex with a partner who had visible herpes sores, and yet they are all now saddled with this disease that will last them a lifetime. All of my friends who came down with herpes expressed emotions of pain, rage, sadness, anger and shame. Feelings of being "gross" or "tainted" came up as well. The (totally untrue) stigma around herpes is that it's horrible and disgusting, and that only bad, dirty people get it. This same stigma is what keeps people from asking for those specific tests, hence it gets spread around more because no one is talking about it.

Howdy. Thanks for checking in. I find myself in a state of shock that summer is already winding down. Time to get serious about the revisions on my next book, which I will say more about at another time. In the meantime, BLACK MOON is the book that refuses to wan. Here's some news:
The US paperback came out in winter (Jan 20) and is currently available just about everywhere. The UK paperback will be released in fall. It comes with one more really cool cover (see it here). Some interesting offerings and promotions are in the works, so check in this fall for details.
I failed to note here that the book received some great attention when, this spring, it was longlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for a debut novel. It was a great honor to be acknowledged with nine other fantastic books. While it didn't make it to the shortlist, it was great to know that the judges at PEN gave it a close reading and found it worthy of recognition.
For some backstory on the book and a bit about my citric past, please check out this recent piece by columnist David Allen that appeared in my hometown newspaper, the Daily Bulletin.
