Earlier this month, on the 3rd of October, we stumbled upon the new GTBank website while they were testing and we talked about it. Unfortunately, it was taken down before we could a screenshot of it. As at that time, some of the links were still broken and the CSS had a hard time loading.
Fast forward to 2weeks later, it was finally put up with all the functionality now in place and of course, it was typical GTBank style – all bells and whistles but the human-ware are not responsive.
We submitted a valid complaint through the Complaints form of the Customer Care section and we are yet to get a response. I believe the reason is because there is something still wrong at the back end as evidenced by this next screenshot.
While we are satisfied that GTBank take their online channels very seriously, if they are not working, they are not worth being put up. Besides, their internet banking portal still retains the same old design so we hope they'll look towards that area too.
Oh, and you can also now open an account with them online and simply show up at your chosen branch to finalize the process.
While this is not exactly a review, we like the design but we hope all the functionality works as soon as possible. Why don't you check out the website and let us know what you think. Thank you.

Topic: mutliple model validation
I have two models that are being shown in the same view. These are setup in the same fashion as Ryanb's tutorial on multiple models. Everything thing is working fine (viewing the page and writing to the dB), until I try to put validation into the second model (contactinfo) at which point it blows up.
Here is the controller create method that is used (personalinfo_controller.rb)
def new
@personalinfo = Personalinfo.new
3.times { @personalinfo.contactinfos.build }
def create
@personalinfo = Personalinfo.new(params[:personalinfo])
@personalinfo.active = '1'
@personalinfo.dtelstupd = Date.today
params[:contactinfos].each_value do |contactinfo|
@personalinfo.contactinfos.build(contactinfo) unless contactinfo.values.all?(&:blank?)
#@contactinfo.dtelstupd = Date.today
if @personalinfo.save
#flash[:notice] = 'Personalinfo was successfully created.'
redirect_to :controller => 'affactions', :action => 'new'
render :action => 'new'
def edit
@personalinfo = Personalinfo.find(params[:id])
and here is the problematic model (contactinfo.rb
class Contactinfo < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :personalinfo
validates_presence_of :name, :yearsknown, :phone
and the model with working validation (personalinfo.rb)
class Personalinfo < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :contactinfos
has_many :educationinfos
has_many :employmentinfos
has_many :offenses
has_one :affaction
has_one :appconsidersumm
has_one :policyack
has_one :positioninfo
has_one :profinfo
validates_presence_of :address1, :city, :state, :postal, :fname, :lname
The error message that is reported is "Contactinfos is invalid"
Additionally, if anybody would know how to make the "#@contactinfo.dtelstupd = Date.today" work properly, I would appreciate that as well.
Thank you!

Third-seeded MSU ready to leave Big 10 foes behind
EAST?LANSING (AP) -After a bruising couple of months in the Big Ten, Michigan State's Adreian Payne is ready to leave all those rivals behind.
"We're excited," the 6-foot-10 junior said. "We finally get to play somebody else, get to see some new faces and, hopefully, beat up on some other teams."
The third-seeded Spartans face 14th-seeded Valparaiso in the NCAA tournament Thursday. Michigan State opens the tournament in Auburn Hills, Mich., which is about 75 miles from the school's East Lansing campus.
The Spartans are in the Midwest Regional. Rival Michigan is in the South – and the Wolverines will open in Auburn Hills too.
"We're very excited where we're placed," Payne said. "We're going to be down the street, basically. We'll have a lot of fans coming."
Valparaiso (26-7) isn't too far away either. The Indiana school won the Horizon League tournament under coach Bryce Drew, whose memorable shot back in 1998 gave Valpo a win in that year's tournament.
Drew took the microphone and was about to start speaking at a selection show viewing Sunday night, when a commercial came on that showed his famous shot.
"It was perfect timing," said Valpo forward Ryan Broekhoff, who is from Australia. "That was a huge part of NCAA tournament history, and I guess you can draw from that that anything can happen in these games."
Michigan State (25-8) hopes to avoid becoming another of Valparaiso's upset victims. That Spartans lost to Ohio State in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament after finishing a game behind Indiana in a pulsating race for the regular-season Big Ten title.
Coach Tom Izzo said over the weekend that guard Gary Harris "popped" his shoulder. Harris, Michigan State's second-leading scorer, had only five points against the Buckeyes on Saturday.
"I wouldn't say there's any setbacks," Harris said. "I still feel pretty good right now, and I'll just continue to get better."
Valpo lost 50-48 at Nebraska back in November, but the Cornhuskers were near the bottom of the Big Ten this season, so facing Michigan State will be a step up in class. The Crusaders have won only two NCAA tournament games – both during that 1998 run to the round of 16.
"Valpo, I know a little bit about. I've seen them. I know the coach," Izzo said. "But I won't even comment until I watch some film and study some stats on them."
The Spartans were a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament last year after sharing the Big Ten regular-season title. They lost to Louisville in the round of 16.
The teams are in the same region again this year, only this time it's Louisville that's the No. 1 seed. If there's going to be a rematch, it wouldn't be until the regional final.
"I think we're very focused right now. We see where we're at. We see who we've got to play, and we know what we've got to do to get better," Payne said. "We're just worried about us right now. That's the main thing. We're just worried about Michigan State."

U.S. Women Hold Back China at Grand Prix

Unofficial DataVolley Stats - Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 22, 2010) – Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) scored a personal international career-high 25 points in leading the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team to a 25-20, 25-10, 22-25, 25-22 victory over China on Sunday afternoon during Pool G of the 18th World Grand Prix in Hong Kong.
Team USA, which finished the three-weekend, nine-match preliminary round with a 7-2 record and in second place, moves on to the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round set for Aug. 25-29 at Ningbo, China. China finished the preliminary round with a 6-3 record and will also compete in the Final Round.
The Final Round, which the U.S. qualified for after the seventh preliminary match, is a six-team round-robin format.
Team USA, which has reached the medal podium in both its earlier tournaments in 2010, has not played in the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round since 2008 when it finished fourth. The Americans, who have won six straight matches in this year's World Grand Prix, have not reached the World Grand Prix podium since bronze medal finishes in 2003 and 2004. The U.S. won the World Grand Prix in 1995 and 2001, its only other podium finishes.
Brazil finished the preliminary round in first place with an 8-1 record and 24 points, followed by the Americans in second place. Poland finished with an identical 7-2 record and 21 points as the United States, but finished third due to a lower point scored ratio. Japan, Italy and China all finished with 6-3 record and 19 points, but Japan held the point ratio advantage to gain fourth place followed by Italy in fifth place and China in sixth place. During the preliminary round, the U.S. defeated Final Round participants China and Italy, while losing to Poland.
The U.S. used a key 6-2 scoring run in the opening set to grab a 16-11 advantage and went on to win 25-20 with four blocks in the set. Team USA produced an 11-2 scoring run to reach a 15-5 advantage in the second set and cruised to a 25-10 victory. The U.S. rallied from a 5-1 deficit in the third set, but China came back from a 16-10 deficit to win 25-22 thanks to scoring eight of the final 10 points of the frame. Team USA battled back from a 20-17 deficit in the fourth set by winning the final eight of 10 points to win 25-22.
"We expected a difficult game and China did not disappoint us," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "They started a bit slow today, but set three and set four were a real battle. Our athletes are very happy to play against such great player. Both teams are of a close caliber. The large and cheering fans gave us certain pressure. It is a different, but the team needs to learn to adapt. But it would be good preparation for next week in Ningbo. We will meet again next week in the finals; the winner of next match depends on which team performs better."
Hooker tallied 20 kills on 44 attacks with a 45.5 kill percent, three blocks and two aces to reach her 25 points. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) chipped in 11 kills on 18 swings, four blocks and an ace for 16 points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) charted nine kills on 16 attacks and three blocks for 12 points. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed eight kills on 18 attacks, one block and an ace for 10 points. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) added five kills and three aces for eight points, while Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) rounded out the scoring with two kills, a block and an ace for four points from her setter position.
Glass tallied 22 running sets on 84 attempts. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) tallied a team-high eight digs, while Tom added seven digs in the victory. Larson provided 18 excellent service receptions on 27 errorless attempts, while Tom matched her total on 28 attempts.
"It was a tough fight," said Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.), who is the U.S. captain for the FIVB World Grand Prix. "China is one of the best teams in the world, no doubt. Their serving and attack are both at the back line. It is challenging to score. We are happy to deal with such good players. We hope to become better players and perform to our best potential when we meet China in the finals again."
McCutcheon started Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker, Hooker at opposite and Glass at setter. Sykora was the designated libero for the match. Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) was a sub in all four sets as a server. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) was a sub in the first set.
The U.S. held a 55-45 advantage in kills and 8-5 margin in aces. Team USA had a 45.1 kill percent with just four attack errors leading to a .352 hitting efficiency. China managed to convert just 33.8 percent of its attacks for kills and had a .158 hitting efficiency due to 24 attack errors. For the first time during the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix, the Americans did not have an advantage in blocks as both teams stuffed 12 opponent attacks. The U.S. held a 29-24 dig margin and received serve with a 52.8 excellent percent. China managed to return serve with a 38.6 excellent service reception percent.
Earlier this year, the Chinese defeated the Americans in the Montreux Volley Masters gold-medal match on June 13 in Switzerland. China is ranked second in the world by the FIVB, while the U.S. is ranked fourth.
"Our team started a bit slow today," China Head Coach Wang Baoquan said. "The players did not play very well today. USA is a strong team. Our team still needs to work harder. The third and fourth sets were better, but still not good enough. During times when the team is behind on the scores, our play was quite disorganized. Both digging and passing still need improvement. Due to bad passing, the team failed to attack and gain points."
Yimei Wang produced 17 points on 13 kills, two blocks and two aces to lead China, while Liyi Chen added 10 points on seven kills, two blocks and an ace.
In final preliminary round matches completed today, Dominican Republic (3-6, 7 points) edged Italy (6-3, 19 points) 23-25, 32-30, 25-22, 22-25, 15-13 and Netherlands (5-4, 13 points) topped Japan (6-3, 19 points) 25-19, 22-25, 38-36, 16-25, 15-11 in Pool I at Tokyo. Thailand (2-7, 6 points) handled Germany (2-7, 7 points) 20-25, 25-16, 25-16, 25-22 in Pool G at Honk Kong, while Brazil (8-1, 24 points) defeated Poland (7-2, 21 points) 25-16, 27-25, 25-16 in a battle of the top two teams in the preliminary round. Later today, Puerto Rico (1-7, 3 points) plays Chinese Taipei (0-8, 0 points).

The U.S. scored three unanswered points with kills from Bown and Akinradewo followed by a China error to go up 7-4. China responded with two quick points, including an ace, to close to 7-6. The Americans regained a three-point cushion at 9-6 with an Akinradewo and Hooker kill. China served an ace to move to within one at 10-9. Akinradewo and Bown answered with consecutive kills to push the American lead to 12-9. Hooker served an ace after a China attack error to extend Team USA's advantage to 14-10 prompting a Chinese timeout. The U.S. reached the second technical timeout leading 16-11 after a Larson kill – the first point by an American outside hitter in the match – and an overpass kill by Bown. China cut the gap to three with consecutive points at 18-15. However, consecutive Chinese errors pushed the American margin back to five points at 20-15 leading to China's second timeout of the set. Team USA jumped its lead to 22-16 with a Hooker kill and block, but China scored the next three points capped by an ace to close to 22-19. The U.S. finished out the set at 25-20 on a China service error and Bown block. Hooker had six points in the opening set, while Akinradewo and Bown both added five points.
Team USA took an early 4-2 lead in the second set after kills from Hooker and Larson, then extended the margin to 7-3 with kills from Hooker and Akinradewo around a China error. Team USA went into the first technical timeout leading 8-3 after a Glass block. The U.S. increased its lead to seven points at 12-5 with two kills from Akinradewo around a back-row kill from Tom, her first point of the match. Out of a Chinese timeout, Hooker added a fourth straight point with a kill, then China hit wide to give the U.S. a fifth straight point at 14-5. Tom scored an ace for the sixth straight point at 15-5. Larson and Hooker pocketed consecutive kills and Hooker added a block to extend the U.S. lead to 18-6. Out of a China timeout, Larson pounded a kill to yield a 19-6 advantage. China broke the run with a kill and ace to cut the deficit to 19-8. Hooker answered with a kill and Bown put up a block to put the lead back to 13 points at 21-8. Hooker followed a China service error with a kill off the block to produce a 23-9 lead. Bown hammered a slide for a kill and China hit wide on the next play to produce the final set score of 25-10. Hooker led the U.S. with seven points in the second set in which the team had three blocks.
China took an early 4-1 lead in the third set with four unanswered points leading to a USA timeout. Out of the break, China added a fifth straight point for a 5-1 advantage. Bown slammed a slide for a kill after a China service error and Hooker served an ace to cut the gap to 5-4. Larson tied the score with a kill at 5-all. Akinradewo turned in a kill and block on back-to-back plays and Glass served an ace to give the U.S. a 10-8 lead. Hooker added a fourth straight point with a kill at 11-8 leading to a China timeout. Out of the break, China hit wide to end a sloppy rally to extend the U.S. lead to 12-8. China answered with the next two points to cut the gap in half at 12-10. Tom followed a Hooker kill with an ace to jump the lead back to four at 14-10. Akinradewo added a block and China hit wide for a fourth straight U.S. point going into the second technical timeout up 16-10. China came out of the break with five of the next six points to close to two points at 17-15 leading to a Team USA timeout. China won a lengthy rally to move to within one point at 20-19, tied the set at 21-all and went ahead 22-21. China reached set points at 24-21 as part of a 5-0 scoring run. Hooker scored a team-high eight points for the U.S. in the third set, while Akinradewo added four points.
Larson put up a block after China could not handle a Bown block on consecutive points to give the U.S. a 4-2 lead in the fourth set, only to have China come back to take a 5-4 lead. Bown scored a kill and block on consecutive plays and Larson added a kill to yield a 7-5 American lead. Tom added a fourth straight point with a block giving the U.S. an 8-5 lead at the first technical timeout. China moved to within a point at 11-10 after a U.S. attack error. The U.S. scored back-to-back points with a Hooker kill and Chinese error to regain a three-point edge at 13-10, but China tied the set at 15-all with consecutive blocks on back-row U.S. attacks. China then went into the second technical timeout leading 16-15 as the Americans could not control the serve. Team USA responded out of the break with a Tom kill and Akinradewo overpass kill to put the U.S. in front 17-16. China bounced back with three straight points of its own to take a 19-17 advantage. Out of a U.S. timeout, the Chinese added another point with a setter dump at 20-17. Team USA answered with kills from Akinradewo and Hooker to move to within one at 20-19. Out of the Chinese timeout, the U.S. tied the set at 20-all on a China attack error. The Americans gained the lead back at 22-21 with a Tom kill and Chinese attack into the net leading to a timeout. Tom added an ace in the run out of the break to produce a 23-21 margin for the U.S. Team USA ended the set with a Hooker kill and Akinradewo ace on match point 25-22. Tom scored five points to pace the U.S. in the fourth set.

Costing upwards of $100,000, the dream machine of the 80's was unattainable by most. Used by countless prominent artists including: Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Herbie Hancock, Jean Michel Jarre, Thomas Dolby and many more, it remains a highly regarded and sought after instrument.
Suffering a fit of nostalgia as we often do, we decided to set about making a new instruments inspired by this legendary studio icon. We ended up making 3; a digital synth, digital drum machine, and multi-phraser. A unique hybrid approach was employed combining our rigid sampling process with the advanced digital processing algorithms and modeling capabilities of the UVI Engine. This approach allows us to capture the raw character of the original machine while facilitating a full array of modern controls. The result is an extremely flexible system that allows you to quickly call up the classic sounds or take the old voices into new sonic territory.
Powerful analog modeled filters, LFO's, envelopes and effects in a beautiful old-school interface await you in this tightly packed but massive sounding 2 GB UVI instrument.
Immediate access to hundreds of sounds and instruments including: Bass, Brass, Bells, Strings, Guitar, Orchestral Hits, Synth, Drums, Percussion, FX, Keys, Piano, Organs, Winds, Reeds and Voices. Efficient and versatile control set allows for everything from quick tweaks to deep sonic exploration.
Accurate reproduction of aliasing characteristics. More than 250 ready-to-play presets. A multitude of effects, including the new UVI SparkVerb™, allow you to create sounds like the original machine and process them to sound like your favorite cult records from the 80's or something totally new!
80's-style beatbox with step sequencer
Hundreds of authentic vintage drums and percussion sounds
UVI exclusive multi-phraser; 3 parts with 3 sounds and 3 smart step sequencers
Create 3-track arrangements or moving drones, let your imagination run!
Darklight IIx now features the improved licensing model allowing for 3 concurrent authorizations

I have been looking for this type of old school synth and this hit the 80's spot!
Thanks UVI

Dolce Heavenly Concert: the concert where the audience is asleep
In Tokyo, Japan, this recital is the only one of its kind in the world, since most of the audience members… are asleep. In this two-day event called "Dolce Heavenly Concert", spectators are invited to relax in luxury beds and since it's sponsored by Haagen-Dazs, they are provided with as much ice cream as they can eat.

Wolfgang Puck and a whole lot of other folks are busting their humps getting ready for Sunday night's Academy Awards ceremony at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. The following images will give you a bit of a look into what goes on behind the scenes and the amount of planning that goes into Tinseltown's biggest event of the year.
Prime Burgers With Cheddar Cheese and Remoulade
This world-renowned chef shares the wedding catering trends for 2010
Chef Wolfgang Puck has a standing date every year for the Academy Awards: He caters the star-studded Governors Ball after the awards show. This year, Puck says, the theme is 1930s glamour – and, he tells PEOPLE, "we'll have the food to match it."
Enjoy a panini while watching the hungry stars at the Oscars
Adding excitement to the highly anticipated opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles, the hotel announced today that Wolfgang Puck, one of our country's most esteemed chefs, will be opening WP24 by Wolfgang Puck in April. Located on the twenty-fourth floor of the hotel, WP24 will feature refined Asian fare, against a backdrop of the stunning Los Angeles skyline.
This recipe uses a classic French chicken veloute scented with winter black truffles.
2010 marks the 16th year that famed Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck will be creating the menu for the Governor's Ball, which takes place immediately after the Academy Awards. The gregarious gastronome spoke to Slashfood to reveal some "Puckish" tips for hosting a successful Oscar viewing party.

Prior to her retirement due to illness, Kathy worked as a registered nurse at several area nursing homes, most recently Heritage Green Rehab & Skilled Nursing. In earlier years, she and her husband owned and operated a small logging business.
Kathy had a passion for the outdoors, gardening and poultry husbandry.
In addition to her husband, John and her mother, Helen, she is survived by her children: Poppie, Kevin and Christopher Smith; stepdaughters: Jamie and Destiny Dahlbeck; nine grandchildren: Zackary Dahlbeck, Vinessa Hooten-Perez, Chanda Germain, Hunter Germain, Alexia Taylor and Teagen, Kaylin, Blythe and Keegan Schuchardt; and a great-grandson, Samuel Perez.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (459 votes).
In short: Toilets??? I nearly missed the start. But beautiful - and a lovely day. Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Beautiful run, well organised, great to do but monster hills!Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Hilly and tough - but I knew that already. Great run and well organised apart from loos.Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Challenging enough to be a satisfying race to completeIn full: For the beginer to racing this was a fairly chalenging course with fairly long uphill sections which steepened in places. However it's not all hills and the setting is charming and spectators have good access and things to do. The long straight into the finish running towards the house is a great end to the race. Recomended.Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: A truly magnificent courseIn full: A bit pricey for a 10k but worth doing. The hills are testing but not too bad. The run down at the end is superb and the commentator kept me sprinting to the line. Well done the organisers and marshalls. See you next year. Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Oh my God - I ache in places I didn't know I had muscles!Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: HILLS !!!!!!!!!!Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Beautiful race, challenging hills, deffo recommended!In full: This is my second run of this course, and it was sa stunning a route as I remembered - the fairly brutal hill up the first 1k definately feels so much more severe on the 2nd lap, but the downhill after really gets you striding out and making up the time. The last k coming down to the house and I swear that Finish line was moving! Fab atmosphere, a great spectator race and very well organised. Will be back next year...Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Great location and great weather.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Got a PB so shouldn't complain!In full: I'm glad I go in a motorhome and have my own loo facilities. Course fairly challenging, particularly the little hill in the middle. Unlike most people I didn't like the finish, it seemed endless! However knocked 2 minutes of my pb! The event seemed to lack atmosphere, which was a shame as the setting was superb. Entry fee was a bit steep, I don't mind that when a significant amount goes to charity. ps if you want real hills then try the Rough'n'tumble 10.Date of review: February 4, 2007

From Sea to Summit - Page 5
Ridge, Panorama and Bluff Trailsloop at Andrew Molera State Park (A nine-mile loop, 23 miles south of Carmel).
From the trailhead, head south and use the footbridge to cross the Big Sur River. Run for less than a mile on the Creamery Meadow Trail before turning left on the Ridge Trail. Meander uphill through trees and open meadows yielding inland views. The trail turns first into the Panorama Trail and second into the Bluff Trail. Both possess prized ocean vistas. Run all the way to the beach and turn right on the Beach Trail to return one mile to the trailhead.
Pine Ridge Trail to Sykes Hot Springs and return in PfeifferBig Sur State Park and the Los Padres National Forest (20 miles round trip, 28 miles south of Carmel).
Park at Big Sur Station and head out on the Pine Ridge Trail. Find moderate to steep climbs in the first few miles, then contouring singletrack through forest above the Big Sur River. Wade the river for the last mile to Sykes Hot Springs, a series of small, stone-lined, clothing-optional pools.
Limekiln State Park Trails (About three miles of trails, 53 miles south of Carmel).
Three out-and-back trails travel along gentle singletrack, through redwood stands and to waterfalls. Visitor services in Limekiln State Park may close in the fall of 2011 due to state-park budget cuts, but trails are likely to remain accessible. Call the park at 831-667-2403 for up-to-date information.
Cone Peak via the Vicente Flat Trail out-and-back in the Los Padres National Forest (23 miles round trip, 55 miles south of Carmel).
Park across the highway from the Kirk Creek Campground and head up the Vicente Flat Trail, which climbs steadily for about eight miles to the Cone Peak Road. Turn left and run this fire road for about 1.5 miles, then turn left again onto the Cone Peak Trail. It is two more steep miles to Cone Peak's summit. "This run has it all. Elevation change? Sea level to 5150 feet and back," says Flyin' Brian Robinson, the course-record holder for North Carolina's crazy Barkley Marathons who lives north of Carmel in Monterey. "Variety? Start on the beach, cruise up one of Big Sur's signature ridges emerging from the sea. Follow a pristine creek in a redwood canyon. Climb the canyon headwall. Follow a ridge to the granite summit that feels like it could be in the Sierra Nevada."
Trailhead :: Big Sur, California
Getting There. Big Sur's north end begins in Carmel, a 75-mile drive south from San Jose, California. Access almost all of Big Sur's trails via California's Highway One between the towns of Carmel and San Simeon.
Accommodations and Camping. Though the coastline is dotted with campgrounds and lodging facilities, regional standouts include the exclusive Post Ranch Inn (24 miles south of Carmel), the bluff-top tent sites of Kirk Creek Campground (55 miles south of Carmel) and Plaskett Creek Campground (60 miles south of Carmel), Treebones Resort's quirky yurts (63 miles south of Carmel) and the romantic Ragged Point Inn (77 miles south of Carmel).
Weather. A mild, marine climate dominates the Big Sur coastline, with 50 plus inches of rain falling mostly between November and April. The Santa Lucia Mountains create a rain shadow for the region's eastern wilds that results in hot, dry summers. Trail run year round here, but beware of frequent downed trees and high-water crossings during the rainy season.
Races. The Big Sur Trail Marathon, Half Marathon and 5-Mile Races are held in September each year at Andrew Molera State Park (23 miles south of Carmel) (www.envirosports.com).
Maps and Resources. All of the region's trails are digitized in National Geographic's Weekend Explorer 3D—San Francisco Bay Area and Big Sur, Napa Valley CD ROM. Analise Elliot's Hiking and Backpacking Big Sur: A Complete Guide to the Trails of Big Sur, Ventana Wilderness, and Silver Peak Wilderness provides precise route descriptions. The Ventana Wilderness Alliance maintains a trail-conditions website forum where area officials and trail users leave up-to-the-moment reports (www.ventanawild.org).
Environmental Considerations. Kim Neill, a Carmel native and ultrarunner now based in Boise, Idaho, says, "Poison oak is prolific in Big Sur. Exposure to it is inevitable, as branches hang over narrow trails and bare branches blend in with other vegetation. After a run, wipe down exposed skin with alcohol or Technu and wash your clothing and shoes." Ticks can also be a nuisance, particularly in spring and early summer; cover bare skin and do a thorough tick check after a run.

Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent speech.
At present we need to strengthen the investigative capabilities of Elections Canada. However, I have a question that follows on the excellent motion by the NDP. What does my colleague think about the actual accountability of Elections Canada? The NGO Democracy Watch says that there are plenty of investigations, but that afterward there is not much information about the reasons, results and decisions of Elections Canada.

Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question, which takes this whole matter to another level.
I think that, with more extensive investigative capabilities to gather more information, it will subsequently be easier for Elections Canada to issue results and to follow up on investigations. It is for this reason that it is important to extend Elections Canada's powers, so that it can seek out the necessary documents and ensure that they are not hidden and shelved and that any evidence of fraud does not disappear.
Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards

Kyle Seeback Brampton West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate several young people from the great city of Brampton who have been chosen as nominees for the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards.
Each year the Ontario Community Newspapers Association recognizes individuals between the ages of 6 and 17 who are working to make a difference in their communities and around the world. These exemplary individuals go above and beyond what is expected of someone their age. They look past their own needs and inspire those around them to give rather than to take. They are truly the leaders of tomorrow.
Young people are chosen from across the province each year for this prestigious award. I am pleased to say that this year Brampton had eight nominees: Stacey Noronha, Anna Akoto, Dhruv Bhalla, Althea Camarillo, Shekhar Kumar, Hersh Bansal, and Raineisha Griffith, and Ashmandeep Kroad.
I congratulate each and every one of them and wish them the best of luck in the future.

Rathika Sitsabaiesan Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I am happy to stand with my colleagues as we join people and nations around the globe to celebrate International Women's Day.
As young women, we have made many gains from our mothers and grandmothers. However, our work is not done and things are not getting any easier for women in Canada.
Since 2006, women in Canada have been the victims of a systemic attack. We have seen the slashing of funding for women's groups, the cancellation of funding for women's advocacy groups, the closure of 16 Status of Women Canada offices, the abolishment of the court challenges program, the elimination of pay equity, the scrapping of the long gun registry, a constant attack on unions and collective bargaining rights, and no child care funding initiatives. What is next is an attack on pensions and OAS, public service job cuts, cuts to services for Canadians, and the building of more prisons. Canadian women deserve better.
New Democrats are proud of the number of women and young women in our caucus who will continue to fight to protect the rights of women and work toward a Canada with gender equality.
Markham Stouffville Hospital

2 p.m.
Paul Calandra Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about some more good news in my community and to wish Markham Stouffville Hospital a happy 22nd birthday.
When Markham Stouffville Hospital opened 22 years ago, it was built to serve a community of some 77,000 people. Today it serves over 330,000 people in the Markham Stouffville and Uxbridge areas.
The hospital is undergoing a large expansion which will see more operating rooms, 100 new patient beds, and of course something that is very dear to me, an expanded maternity ward. My two daughters, Natalie and Olivia, were born there. Because of the great service of the doctors and nurses, I have two healthy, wonderful children.
The Markham Stouffville Hospital is one of the greatest hospitals in the province of Ontario. My community raised millions of dollars to support the expansion.
I wish a happy 22nd birthday to Markham Stouffville Hospital. I thank the hospital for all the great work it does for our community.
International Women's Day
Statements By Members

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, today is International Women's Day and men and women in all parts of Canada are gathering to celebrate equality rights. 2012 also marks the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the document that codified many of the legal rights we are celebrating today.
Earlier this morning I met with a group of people, and I was truly inspired by the energy and strength in the room. For example, there was one group of young people from Queen's University who woke up at 4 a.m. just to be here today to celebrate the accomplishments of women.
That dedication is exactly the kind of spirit that has helped to advance the cause for equality rights over the past century. It is exactly the kind of spirit that will ensure advances continue to be made in the future.
On behalf of the people of York West and all Canadians, I am proud to stand to pay tribute to those past trailblazers for equality, and I am excited to tip my hat to the pioneers of tomorrow.
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport has shown the power of privatization in the transportation field.
Airports Council International announced in February that Ottawa finished first in North America, and second in the world among those airports serving two to five million passengers a year.
This airport offers $2.2 billion in economic impact, and 10,000 direct and indirect jobs. I congratulate its employees and its brilliant CEO, Paul Benoit.
As respected columnist Mark Sutcliffe pointed out, since privatization 15 years ago, the airport has doubled its passengers, tripled its revenue, and gone from a dilapidated money loser to a money maker that is among the best of its kind in North America.
Much needed spending reductions in the coming budget offer us the chance to free up the economy, privatize more and see more success stories, just like the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.
Thérèse Casgrain
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mylène Freeman Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, today being International Women's Day, I wish to recognize the important contribution made by the women of Quebec on the long, hard road towards gender equality in Canada.
In Quebec, if there is one name that is synonymous with that struggle, it is of course Thérèse Casgrain. This great woman was at the heart of every battle and debate in what was at the time a rapidly changing society. She fought for many causes that redefined society.
Her efforts later brought her into the political realm, with the NDP, among other parties, and she was appointed to the Senate in 1970.
Most importantly, however, Thérèse Casgrain left all women a legacy to carry on and one over-riding duty: to continue to work towards true gender equality.
That is why I am pleased to pursue the same goals as the organization founded by Ms. Casgrain, the Fédération des femmes du Québec, which advocates for the right to abortion, pay equity and women's safety, to name a few. Together, we can continue her fight. Let's get the job done.
Harriet Tubman
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, March 10 marks the 99th anniversary of the death of Harriet Tubman, an inspirational figure who risked her life many times to rescue slaves. Through the bravery of this woman and others working on the Underground Railroad, thousands of former slaves escaped to Canada and to my riding of St. Catharines to begin their new lives.
In the 1850s, Harriet attended the BME Church on Geneva Street, which was a meeting place for the civil rights movement. The BME Church still stands in St. Catharines and it remains active.
The church is asking this House to proclaim March 10 as Harriet Tubman day to commemorate the work she did in rescuing people from slavery and campaigning to abolish slavery in America. Canadians are proud of the role that Harriet Tubman and her supporters in St. Catharines played in advancing the cause of freedom. I ask my hon. colleagues for their support.
On the very day we are celebrating International Women's Day, Harriet Tubman was a woman who showed what leadership was all about, regardless of sex, religion or colour. She was an amazing woman who stood for what we have today, freedom in our country and in North America.

Wai Young Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, two weeks ago Vancouver hosted the largest international gathering of leading scientists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS, conference. For the first time in over 30 years, the conference was held outside the United States. A new record was set in that attendance rose from 9,000 to over 12,000 participants.
It was during this conference that one of the world's leading subatomic physics laboratories, Vancouver-based TRIUMF, announced a major breakthrough with a new technology using cyclotrons, already available in hospitals, to successfully produce medical isotopes without needing uranium or nuclear reactors. This development allows hospitals with existing cyclotrons to make the isotopes they need locally on site, which will reduce the wait time for critical diagnostic tests.
TRIUMF credits much of this success to the ingenuity of its team and the foresight and the strong financial support of this government.
I invite members to join me in congratulating TRIUMF for its leadership and for this amazing new discovery.

Djaouida Sellah Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, despite a record number of women elected to the current Parliament, Canada still ranks poorly internationally when it comes to the representation of women in politics. I would like to point out that Canada ranks behind Afghanistan.
The UN estimates that a critical mass of 30% women is needed in order for them to have an impact on public policy. However, in Canada, we have not yet passed the 25% mark.
There are only so many ways to improve the situation. The political parties have to take measures to encourage the election of women.
The NDP has tools in place, and the results speak for themselves, with 40% of our caucus being women.
Every party should do its part for women's equality, and the Conservative Party should—

Mr. Speaker, Canadian men and women are all invited to celebrate International Women's Week, and especially International Women's Day, which is today.
Our theme this year is "Strong Women, Strong Canada — Women in Rural, Remote and Northern Communities: Key to Canada's Economic Prosperity".
This theme reminds us that we live in a very large country, where one in five women lives outside major urban centres.
To support this theme, the government is taking action. In fact, the Minister for Status of Women has announced support for new projects to support women living in communities outside Canada's urban centres. These projects aim to reduce violence against women and girls and increase their economic security. We all must play our part to deliver on the theme of "Strong Women, Strong Canada"
Status of Women

Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, despite mounting cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women and children, the government still ignores calls for a national inquiry by the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, the Native Women's Association of Canada, Sisters in Spirit, Amnesty International and the women's families. The Liard Aboriginal Women's Society is pleading with the government to restore funds for its programs addressing the high rates of violence and drug and alcohol abuse, attributed in particular to the impact of residential schools.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission reports paying out double the anticipated compensation claims for abuse suffered at the residential schools. They call the schools an assault on aboriginal children, their families and their culture, and on self-government and sustainability. They said we should restore funding to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation in this budget.
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women have decried Canada's inaction on the poverty and violence suffered by aboriginal women.
Again, I implore the government to open Canada's doors to the UN investigators and as a show of good faith call the long-awaited national inquiry into—

Like I said, I'm not shouting my love for Neapolitan pizza from the rooftops, but, thanks to these two pizzas, my perspective has changed. I can say one thing for certain, my days of baking primarily plain or pepperoni pies are drawing to a close.
Hi Craig, you met Giulio? he was my "maestro" wen a took the VPN course, nice guy!! how was the pizza at Forcella?
What a great thread. I had no idea this tour was taking place and briefly considered going to PG's last Thur (ended up at Roberta's instead).FWIW, the sandwiches at Best are as good as the pies. The Italian Combo is quite possibly the perfect rendition of its type. And I'm a big fan of the pizza toppings. I realize the pickled vegetables aren't for everyone, but I'm a fan. And that they use pepperoni from Biellese says a lot.Thanks to everyone for posting the great photos as well.

Skip to comments.'Titanic' Theme Song Makes Me Want To Throw Up, Kate Winslet Says
Posted on 04/15/2012 6:51:06 PM PDT by Steelfish
'Titanic' Theme Song Makes Me Want To Throw Up, Kate Winslet Says
By Rene Lynch April 15, 2012
And the Oscar for the most refreshingly candid actress goes to ... "Titanic" star Kate Winslet!
Check out the above video of Winslet making the media rounds in advance of the re-release of "Titanic," the mega-blockbuster that made her a household name and earned her an Academy Award nomination for best actress. Winslet had two options going into this interview. She could have done the whole Hollywood-smiley-face thing and gushed on and on about how the 1997 movie changed her life, about how much she loves it, about the on-screen magic she shared with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio ... blah, blah, blah.
Or Winslet could have told it like it is.
Winslet said that she feels "like throwing up" when she hears the soaring theme song of "Titanic." In fact, she said, the signature Celine Dion ballad "haunts" her.
"I wish I could say, 'Oh listen everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. I just have to sit there, you know, kinda straight-faced, with a massive internal eye roll," she said.
It's no wonder she feels that way: "My Heart Will Go On" follows Winslet wherever she goes.
"Every time I go into either some kind of a bar in a hotel where there's a live pianist or into a restaurant where they are changing their music according to who walks in the door ... it's thrilling for people to 'surprise' me with the Celine Dion song," she said. (snip)
"It rather haunts me," she said of the song. "Bless you, Celine, but it does rather haunt me."
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
I still can't believe DiCaprio was cast in the lead of Gangs of New York. He doesn't look Irish in the least.
The whining of RS/Cure entertains me greatly. The whining of BS is....well...BS ;)
This was popular on Dr. Demento's radio show in the late 1970's.
I'm with Kate; I can't stand the song, either.
Ironic post of the MONTH! :-)
The fact that you once turned me down makes me want to throw up.
You one fine lookin woman .....
Distressed ....
Karen Carpenter had more talent in her pinky finger than all of today's singers combined. Adele, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood-—they're all screechers. She had a perfect voice and sadly died too soon. The stuff she sang 40 years ago is better than most of the garbage you hear today. I listen to their Christmas album every year. Her "Ave Maria" is top-notch. Name someone with a better voice. They may not be your cup of tea, but they did have enormous talent.
I thought the movie was unwatchable. Without DeCaprio, it would have been barely watchable. Without DeCaprio and a better plot, it might have been watchable.
Nothing makes me throw up as much as 'Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog'. You should have seen the look on the faces of my wedding band (circa 1982) when I told them that if they played that song I wouldn't be held responsible for smashing their guitars over their amps. Sort of like what John Belushi did to Stephen Bishop in 'Animal House'.
"I thought the movie was unwatchable."
I tried to watch it last night for the first time and I gave up after 10 minutes, as I felt nauseous ...
that song ruined butch cassidy and the sundance kid, movie was going along fine til then heh.
I loved 'Titanic' and thought it deserved every one of the 14 nominations and 11 Oscars it won, including best picture. It's no wonder the movie grossed nearly $2 billion. I put the movie up there as one of the best movies I ever had the pleasure to watch.
I find it amusing that so many people think they have to join the mindless bandwagon/chorus of all those "cool" people who bash the film in order, I guess, to prove how "cool" they themselves are.
Whatever. One thing is for sure - - James Cameron has about a cool hundred million dollars to play with.
He made millions on Titanic because every fifteen year-old girl in America went to the movie to gush all over DiCaprio. And then she went back with three of her friends and watched it three or four more times.
It wasn't the entire country that loved the movie. Just the ninth-grade.
And, apparently, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
and not one award for screenwriting or acting. Go figure.
Sure. And the English Patient won nine Academy Awards. It was one of the most boring movies I have ever watched in my life. For the life of me, I cannot see why it caught anyone's attention. I don't care what the Academy declares as the winner of awards. Their awards hold no value for me.
I loved the Movie being a long time Titanic Buff. But I watched it for all the awesome interior shots that the Director took great pains to get accurate. However when I went to see it at the theater I stood and cheered when DiCaprio's blue face slipped beneath the waves. My wife was embarrassed and slugged me but I got a lot of fist pumps from the other Males in the theater.
Of course DiCaprio's later Movies like The Aviator and J. Edgar are well done and I give him his due for those.
Never saw it so I can't comment. I have heard from others it was a bore, though. They even made fun of it on a Seinfeld episode. Another one was 'Shakespeare In Love' (? I think that's it). Those are movies it would never occur to me to see simply because of their titles. To each his own. I loved 'Titanic' and thought it was a magnificent movie.
I am probably one of the few people who thought he did a nice job with that creepy movie about the insane asylum, 'Shutter Island'. Also, I enjoyed his roles in 'The Departed' and 'Inception'.
Yeah if I never hear that song again I'd be happy.
I like all those as well But I thought his portrayals of Hoover and Hughes were grade "A" acting. I could believe I was watching those historical characters. He got both characters down to a "T" with mannerisms and voice inflections.
I love learning about the history of the Titanic. I liked the movie because of that. DiCaprio's acting in the movie was pitiful, I thought. And the love story itself didn't flow well between DiCaprio and Winslett. I didn't believe it. And in a good movie you forget that they are acting and you simply fall into the story. That never happened for me.
Some movies I just don't find him believable in, because of his boyish looks. Other films he pulls off with more skill. I don't really understand why people think he is so accomplished because I don't see it.
It reminds me of an interview I saw of Lauren Bacall. This would have been about ten years ago or more. She said that there are only a handful of male actors that are of the quality of Humphrey Bogart in America. At first I didn't believe her when she said that. I thought of all of the actors that I thought were good. And then upon reflecting more I realized that she was right.
She only named two accomplished male actors... DeNiro and Pacino.
The Aviator and J. Edgar are astonishingly good (when viewed in terms of what Modern Hollywood puts out and I am talking the Big Budget stuff where its all fluff and effects) DiCaprio really nailed Hughes and Hoover in those movies.
I think the problem was at the time DiCaprio had the body of a ten year old girl. He just didn't fit the part of a leading man in a Love Story.
You're right about the casting. He doesn't come off as a leading man in that movie.
I'll remember to look for him in the Aviator, though. That sounds like it would be a good one. Thank you.
I thought the plot was sophomoric. Also, another movie where the heroin from the past acts just like a 90's girl. Other than seeing the people struggle and many end up frozen and dead the movie's acting and plot left me cold.
I've never gotten around to seeing Titanic.
I hear the ship sinks at one point.
"Every time I go into either some kind of a bar in a hotel where there's a live pianist or into a restaurant where they are changing their music according to who walks in the door ... it's thrilling for people to 'surprise' me with the Celine Dion song," she said."
On a somewhat similar note, actor Donald Faison supposedly has the same feeling about the old Bel Biv Devoe song "Poison". Ever since he did the dance bit on Scrubs (if you watch the show, you know what I mean), any time he goes to a club or bar, the dj puts the song on to "surprise" him. I guess he pretty much just gets up and leaves now.
I consider myself an amateur movie critic and was excited when I heard about Titanic being made and even more excited when the positive reviews came in-—I was really looking forward to seeing it. What a disappointment!
1. For such an historic event the filmmakers decided to focus on this sappy love story?
2. Kate + Leo = Zero Chemistry. She was too old and harsh-looking, totally miscast.
3. Gloria Stuart-I found her unappealing on the screen with her wart and cringed when she appeared. Face it, movies are for attractive people. She wasn't.
4. Please tell me why the security guy handcuffed Leo to the pole and left him to die? He was a pest. Most people wouldn't be that cold-hearted in this situation.
5. The stereotyping—of course all Irish people love to sing, play fiddles, drink, and dance after they have worked 12 hours of hard labor shoveling coal.
6. Of course all flabby women LOVE to take their tops off for total strangers. And better yet, women LOVE to throw beautiful expensive jewelry overboard. Even Princess Diana kept Charles's engagement ring after their divorce. Very preposterous, obviously Jim Cameron's take on women.
And the list goes on and on and on.....
And the list goes on and on and on.....
I want more....lol. Great list that I never even thought of but are accurate.
Dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
Mama stood cryin' at the dockside
sayin' "Please son, don't take this trip"
I said "Mama, sweet mama, don't you worry none
Even God couldn't sink this ship"
Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
It turned the water into foam
Destination sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home
I'm in the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cookin' up the bandstand
And I was strummin' in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land
And now the foghorn's jammed and moanin'
Hear it groanin' through the misty night
I heard the lookout shout down
"There's icebergs around but still everything's all right"
Oh, the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
They were burnin' all the flares for candles
In the banquet they were throwin' in first class
And we were blowin' waltzes in the barroom
When the universe went crash
"There's no way that this could happen"
I could hear the old captain curse
He ordered lifeboats away, that's when I heard the chaplain say
"Women and children and chaplains first"
Well, they soon used up all of the lifeboats
But there were a lot of us left on board
I heard the drummer sayin'
"Boys, just keep playin', now we're doin' this gig for the Lord"
I heard the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
There's a wild-eyed boy in the radio shack
He's the last remaining guest
He was tappin' in a morse code frenzy
Tappin', "Please God, SOS"
Jesus Christ can walk on the water
Where a music man will drown
They say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up
Well, I was strummin' as the ship go down
I'm in the dance band on the titanic
Sing, "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
Dance band on the titanic
Sing, "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
Dance band on the titanic

Re: Karen Carpenter
I don't disagree about her voice. The anorexia thing, though, still stings after all these years.
Her voice was like hot buttered rum. I'll give you that. Or a rusty nail. Magnificent. And she had a rep for getting it right on the first try in recording.
I can't stand that Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" song either! The best thing that happened in the movie was Leonardo DiCaprio "died" in the freezing North Atlantic.
If you think that is what happened at the end, you are wrong and you never have read the Bible. That was not the end of the story. Jesus died for your sins so that you may have eternal life, BUT He was resurrected from the dead, to prove God has power over death. Death could not hold Jesus in the grave. Jesus is alive!
What?! Aw man, I didn't get to that part yet. What, no spoiler alerts? Sheesh. Anyway, I'm at the part where this dude Moses is becoming a bigshot in Egypt. I think he's going to be the next Pharoh or something, that ought to be awesome.
I believe all that as well, I was trying to make a joke. :p

Man Behind City Vehicle Chase Charged
The 24-year-old Jamestown man who led police on a high-speed vehicle chase through the city last month was charged Wednesday morning.
According to the Jamestown Police Department, Bryan E. Bobe was taken into custody after being released from a medical center in Rochester. Bobe was injured after crashing into another vehicle on Foote Avenue, the culmination of a several-minutes-long pursuit through the south side of Jamestown that occurred on Jan. 20.
Police say Bobe started to flee as officers attempted a traffic stop on Forest Avenue, observing his high speed and inadequate exhaust. He reportedly ran multiple red lights and stop signs, and even tried to run his vehicle into patrol cars multiple times.
Bobe was charged with 15 separate charges including two felony counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, reckless driving, speed not reasonable, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and nine other traffic charges.
He is currently awaiting arraignment in the Jamestown City Jail.
