More FALSE propaganda
Original post made by Propaganda, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Aug 9, 2009
According to the e-mail (read the full text here ), Daschle was quoted in a Bloomberg story saying, "Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them."
We thought that sounded a bit impolitic, and fairly callous, for a former senator to say, and so we decided to check it out.
As with most e-mail claims, it starts with a grain of something.
Bloomberg did run a story about health provisions in the stimulus package on Feb. 9, 2009, under the headline "Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey." It was a commentary piece written by Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York and an adjunct senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.
McCaughey warned that the stimulus included several troublesome provisions identical to ideas outlined by Daschle in his 2008 book, Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis. Midway through the article, McCaughey includes this paragraph:
"Daschle says health care reform 'will not be pain-free.' Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt."
We contacted McCaughey to see which parts of this were her words and which were Daschle's.
The phrase that health care reform "will not be pain-free" is a direct quote from Daschle, she explained. She said the sentence beginning "Seniors should be more accepting" was her paraphrasing of an argument in Daschle's book in which he quotes David Mechanic, a health care policy expert at Rutgers University, saying, "more and more of what were once seen as social, behavioral, or normative aspects of every day life, or as a normal process of aging, are now framed in a medical context. ... Whether wrinkles, breasts, or buttocks, impotence or social anxieties, or inattention in school, they all have become grist for the medical mill."
We think it's a stretch to summarize Daschle's position as saying that seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. Not treating wrinkles is one thing. Not treating, say, heart disease, is another. But that's fair enough for McCaughey to opine. This is labeled an opinion piece. The point is that these are McCaughey's words, not Daschle's.
The last sentence, "That means the elderly will bear the brunt," was her conclusion, McCaughey said.
McCaughey said she is a meticulous scholar and "I regret any misrepresentations made by others of my work or Mr. Daschle's views."
Our efforts to reach Daschle for comment were not successful.
In the chain e-mail, quote marks are shifted, clouding the issue of who is actually speaking, and the e-mail suggests that Daschle actually said that.
The e-mail begins: "Apparently, seniors are expendable — treating us is not worth the expense (unless you're a congressman!).

If someone refuses to serve gays it's just the same as someone who refuses to serve blacks or Christians. Just people you don't like the minority doesn't make it more okay to discriminate against one group than another and religious views are not an excuse for discrimination for religious views could be used to excuse discrimination against blacks and women.

Why do the people ordering the cake have to tell the baker that it's for a lesbian wedding ? Just say "I want to order a cake." There's really no need to tell them anything else.
One can easily decorate the cake without the need of a baker.
If one called a baker and said, "I want to order a cake for the American Communist Party",(aka The Democrats), and the baker refused, would the person ordering the cake sue ?!
I think NOT !

Oh, it feels weird to agree with you!
This guy's job is to MAKE A CAKE. He doesn't get to decide what they can or can't do with it, once he's finished with his obligation.
What if they want to have SEX with the cake? What if they intend to donate it to the KKK? What if they plan to assassinate a politician with it? This is NOT HIS CALL.
If he wants to tout his skills as a cake-baker, then BAKE THE F***ING CAKE. Nobody is going to find his business in the Yellow Pages under "Moral Authority", and that isn't why he is hired.
But I LOVE the part where he DENIES calling them an "abomination unto the Lord". Oh, so you're saying you'd like to DISTANCE yourself from that biblical qualifier? I don't blame you. But, either come out and admit that this is primitive BS, or OWN it PROUDLY like a Good Christian should. Lukewarm, eh?
I will now accept questions from people wondering what the hell the Yellow Pages are. Or were.

I have a funny story about the "Yellow Pages" that happned to me recently. This past October I rented a house in Coolidge, Arizona. Years ago, when most people had land-lines, it was very easy to find a Yellow Pages, or ask the phone company to deliver one (I only have a celfone and have not had a land-line in many years).
So after moving here to Coolidge, I naturally needed a local phone book. I was very pleased to see someone had thrown a small plastic-wrapped phone book on my driveway. But I was VERY surprised to see that after I removed the waterproof plastic wrapper, the ENTIRE PHONE BOOK is in Spanish !
So I stopped at the local police station and asked where i could get a local phone book (I didn't think it was reasonable to ask the locla land-line phone company for a free one since I don't have a land-line phone), and teh police person told me to stop at the local chamber of commerce.
So I stopped at the local chamber of commerce, and they had stacks of them, and tehy gave me a free one. So I showed teh people there the one that was thrown in my driveway that is all in Spanish. They said they had never seen a phone book all in Spanish before, and had never heard of the company who produced it. So I have no idea why someone tossed one in my driveway.
If you would like to see teh house I'm renting, there's a short video tour of it here:

Why should same-sex couples be expected to hide when heterosexuals aren't?
I expect that the baker, knowing that it was a wedding cake they were ordering, asked if they wanted the little bride and groom cake topper. Normal people wouldn't think they should avoid giving a truthful answer to simple questions like that.
Expecting gays and lesbians to cater to the homophobes is just like saying African-Americans need to cater to the KKK. How well do you think THAT would go over?

On that subject, suppose someone ordered a cake with a burning cross on top? If I were in the cake business I'd ask whether they wanted decorative flames or some kind of sparkler arrangement. It would be repugnant to me, but I could not refuse it. On the other hand, if someone asked me to put small rodents in the cake batter and bake them alive, I would not do so on the grounds of cruelty - I doubt they would be able to sue in that case.

The Ace of Cakes dude is going to make their cake.......and that is an awesome thing.......HOWEVER, it doesn't excuse this person's actions.
When are these sort of folks going to learn that as a business owner, you can't discriminate!!!
I understand that what the cake designer did was wrong......as far as making the derogatory comments about who the couple was........but there are better ways to handle it........on both sides of the issue..........unfortunately.. ......it's going to lead to a possible lawsuit.
Those folks who already hate Gays and Lesbians will just see this as stomping on someone's religious beliefs and freedoms, but if the situation was reversed.......would be screaming discrimination all over the place!!!!

And when all the bakeries realize they can discriminate against gays & lesbians in spite of the law which says they can't? Then what?? Remember they tried that with blacks & jews.
The only way the bigots learn is to hit them in the wallet where it hurts. Shop elsewhere AND sue them.

So this guy won't mind when he takes his family to the movies and they won't sell him tickets because he is "christian?"
Will he mind if he can't get gas at a certain gas station for the same reason?
Would he mind if he wasn't a baker himself, but went to another baker who refused to make a cake for his kid's first holy communion?
When you're in business, you serve all kinds of people. I'm sure I've sold things over the years to real jerks. On the plus side, I have those jerks' money when they're done, and I can use it to support things they don't like.
Either you're a professional, or you're not. This guy is not.
With all that said, I don't think he should be compelled to fill that order. I think he should be able to make an ass of himself and then either thrive or go out of business as a result of the marketplace itself.

He's probably one who weeps that his business is off because of the recession. Why doesn't he just hang up an "Out of Business" sign and be done with it?
From what I have heard, wedding cakes are like mega hundreds of dollars for about $5 of flour and sugar. Is he stupid?

I wanted the phone book so I could learn where the nearest diner, pizza parlor, laundromat, dry cleaner, and other things in the city are at. Paper phone books ARE useful. I just never saw one completely in Spanish.
And this place is so out of the way I doubt anyone will bother to stop by. And if someone does, I'll say, "Hi. Come on in, sit down and have a nice cold beer.:)" WWJD?

IBD's Finance-Mortgage & Related Services industry group is near the penthouse of all 197 groups.
It was ranked No. 4 going into Thursday. That was way up from No. 126 three months ago.
That's due in large part to mutual fund support for certain key names.
The $1.2 billion BlackRock Small Cap Growth Equity , for example, started a stake in Ocwen Financial (OCN) in its latest disclosure.
The $3.4 billion Lord Abbett Developing Growth opened a position in Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NSM) in its latest disclosure.
But some analysts and managers see storm clouds on the horizon for the group. Some prefer banks that are diversified away from sole dependency on mortgages.
"I prefer banks like Wells Fargo (WFC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and U.S. Bancorp (USB) because they are more than mortgage stories," said Erik Oja, U.S. banks analyst for S&P Capital IQ.
As of Q3, mortgage banking as a portion of total net revenue at each of those banks was well down from a year earlier, he says.
Mortgage servicer bulls cite a sharp decline in residential foreclosure filings and delinquent mortgages. But those numbers don't tell the space's full story, bears warn.
Many foreclosed homes have been bought by hedge funds and wealthy individual investors. Their plans were to rent out homes profitably. But a glut of rental homes has hurt that play's profitability, says Tom Forester, manager of $138 million Forester Value .
"Many hedge funds paid full price and more, leading to a price spurt," Forester said. "Many of the early funds are getting out."
Surge In Defaults?
Also, lenders have reworked mortgage terms for many financially distressed homeowners, lowering their monthly nuts. But servicers tell Forester that many homeowners still can't afford their payments.
"Most of those loans are likely to default within three years," Forester said.
U.S. Bancorp is the only bank, lender or servicer in Forester's fund, which holds only 29 stocks.
"We own (USB) because they have a strong balance sheet and good underwriting," he said. "Loans in their portfolio don't have credit problems. But their mortgage component is a (potential) head wind for them."
In addition, rising interest rates and fear of rising rates have caused a slowdown in refinancings. And refis are profitable for lenders, which get upfront fees and then a gain on loans they sell. Home purchase volume is not big enough to make up for the decline in refis, Forester says.
Still, between hedge funds retreating and banks that are divesting themselves of mortgages due to stiffer capital reserve rules, about $1 trillion in additional mortgages are becoming available.
"That's a lot of new opportunities for Ocwen," said Jack Plunkett, CEO of Plunkett Research. More volume leads to improved operating efficiencies, he adds.
"Ocwen's growth may not remain as exciting as it was in the past year, but it remains exciting," he said.
For servicing companies to continue to do well, interest rates must rise slowly to avoid dampening demand and raising servicers' costs, Forester says.

National Assessment of Adult Literacy
UPDATE May 10, 1999
Amendment 2 to the solicitation has been issued. The proposal due date has been extended. Proposals are now due May 25, 1999 at 3 P.M. E.S.T. The text to Amendment 2 as well as some changes to the proposal preparation instructions are available below in the file "AMEND2.ZIP". Also, the file "RFP.PDF", added below, is a PDF version of the RFP that includes the changes from Amendments 1 and 2. The file "RFP.DOC" has been moved into the "ATTACH.ZIP" file.
DUE DATE: May 25, 1999, 3 P.M. E.S.T.
POC: Nadine S. Kim, Contract Specialist at (202) 260-1679
The United States Department of Education has a requirement for a complex national study that includes an assessment of the English-language literacy skills of American adults and a survey data collection based on an extensive background questionnaire. This project has several purposes. One is to describe and explain the nature, extent, and current status of the literacy abilities (prose, document, and quantitative literacy/ numeracy) of adults in the United States. The second purpose is to measure and report changes in literacy abilities of the nation's adults over time. That is, NAAL will provide indicators of trends in the prose and document literacy proficiencies of the U.S. adult population since 1992 and of the young adult population since 1985. Thus, the project seeks to collect data that not only explain key predictors and outcomes of literacy but also are comparable to those from prior national surveys conducted by NCES (National Center for Education Statistics). A third objective is to inform federal and state policy and programs. Toward this end, the NAAL seeks to provide literacy estimates by state of the literacy skills of major subpopulations of adults and to facitlitate statewide evaluations of literacy results. A secondary aim of this project is to provide a basis for comparisons between the literacy abilities and educational experiences of American adults and those of adults in other countries. It is anticipated that a Performance-Based, Cost Reimbursable Contract will be awarded.

I dont want any rubbing so do you think this setup will be fine or would i be better off getting the goodyear duratrac 275/65/18 with no leveling kit. I need to order tires and the leveling kit asap so any help would be greatly appreciated! adam

This is so sad for Miley … Yesterday, one day before her 21st birthday, Miley Cyrus got robbed. TMZ reports:
The break-in occurred Friday afternoon in Studio City – one day before her b-day – when the thief somehow gained access to Miley's pad … and made off with some jewelry. It's unclear how the crook (or crooks) got inside the house … but cops say they're currently investigating how it all went down.
Aside from this horrible mishap, we hope Miley's having a Happy Birthday.

April 12, 2003 -- At about 4 a.m. this morning, scientists at the BC Cancer Agency's Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre completed the first publicly available draft sequence for a coronavirus implicated in SARS.
"This is a huge step forward in the fight to control the spread of SARS," says Dr. Caroline Astell, projects leader at the Genome Sciences Centre.
Since receiving 1 millionth of a gram of purified viral genetic material from Dr. Frank Plummer at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, relayed by the BC Centre for Disease Control, scientists at the Genome Sciences Centre have worked around the clock to complete the sequence, using both molecular techniques and state-of-the-art laboratory automation.
"We are very excited about having the ability to do this, and to contribute to a solution for a serious health issue," says Dr. Victor Ling, vice-president, Research, BC Cancer Agency. "I think we can say that we have a rapid-response team who can deal with immediate health concerns."
Dr. Marco Marra, director of the Genome Sciences Centre stated that, "I am delighted that our team of scientists at the Genome Sciences Centre has responded so effectively to the challenge of rapidly sequencing this coronavirus isolate. I am extremely proud of our team. I am similarly impressed by the speed with which viral genomic material was sent to us by Frank Plummer's group a the NML in Winnipeg and by Drs. Bob Brunham and Martin Petric at the BC CDC."
It is expected that this information, posted on the Genome Sciences Centre's website (http://www.bcgsc.bc.ca) as soon as it was generated, will lead to the development of definitive diagnostic tests for SARS. In the longer term, these results may allow scientists to understand why the SARS virus is so deadly, and may assist in the development of an effective vaccine.
Dr. Steven Jones, head of bioinformatics at the Genome Sciences Centre led a team of researchers in assembling the genome from the sequence data. Dr. Jones says the virus detected appears to be a new type of coronavirus bearing only modest similarity to those coronaviruses previously characterized. "The next step for the Genome Sciences Centre is to analyze the proteins that the virus produces, to try and find clues for why this is such a virulent pathogen. With the public release of the sequence data, scientists around the world will also have an opportunity to contribute to this effort" explains Dr. Jones.
Dr. Rob Holt, head of Sequencing at the Genome Sciences Centre, says that while the mandate of the BC Cancer Agency is care and research for cancer, it is significant that the Agency has been working so closely with other organizations to address such an urgent health issue. "This is a stunning convergence of events," says Dr. Holt. "It illustrates what people can achieve when they rally around a common and pressing goal."
While the Genome Sciences Centre is dedicated to cancer research, says Dr. Simon Sutcliffe, president of the BC Cancer Agency, it has been enormously rewarding for the Agency to take the lead in addressing a very important public health crisis.
"We have realized for some time that the study of genomics will be essential to find the causes of, and cures for, cancer," says Dr. Sutcliffe. "This collaborative effort demonstrates that the use of genomics crosses the boundaries of health issues, and gives us the confidence that we'll be able to meet similar challenges in the future."
The BC Cancer Agency, a part of the Provincial Health Services Authority, is committed to reducing the incidence of cancer, reducing the mortality from cancer, and improving the quality of life of those living with cancer. It provides a comprehensive cancer control program for the people of British Columbia by working with community partners to deliver a range of oncology services, including prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, research, education, supportive care, rehabilitation and palliative care. The BC Cancer Research Centre conducts research into the causes and cures for cancer. The Genome Sciences Centre operates with support from the BC Cancer Foundation, Western Economic Diversification, Genome Canada,Genome British Columbia, and the National Institutes of Health (USA)

That's awesome!!! I need to pig hunt sometime.
*Let me say right off the bat the; the photo is a little bloody, so stop right here if thats not something you want to see. Not trying to be PC, just a heads up. It was late at night and the skeeders were as thick as I've ever seen them!*
Well, the final week of our 19 year lease is coming to an end. I think I will make at least a couple more hunts this week...it's tough knowing it's almost over.
Going though 2 divorces was easier than loosing this lease!
Any way, went down to bring some more junk back and get another hunt in Saturday. The afternoon hunt went pretty uneventful. Went back to camp to help the guy who bought my dad old hunting truck load it.
After he was on his way I loaded a few things then stopped by the feeders to put a bag in each one. I took my most recent built AK and when I walked up on the feeder I could hear them munching corn. So I set the bag of corn down. I eased up to where I could see and there was a bunch of them.
Normally we don't shoot them at night, but the rules of engagement have changed. So I turned on my little Swat Force flashlight that is mounted on the quad rail hand gaurd. I found one that was turned right and popped it in the head. I pointed the light sky ward in hope they would come back, but they didn't. When I walked up the pass though bullet hit another little pig right behind the ear!
I'll take being lucky over being good any day!
Ammo was the Wolf black box 123gr HP.
Picture isn't the best, but it was 10:15pm and I was lucky to even found them in the view finder:
That's awesome!!! I need to pig hunt sometime.
Good thing about hog hunting is they smile even when you kill them.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights
Hello Oh neat you got the hogs. May I ask where the hunt is?, what state or any public lands nearby? , I'm not looking to take your hunt area. Don't get me wrong. I'm interested doing hog hunt in the near future. I did lots of small game hunt when I was younger, lost all my hunting grounds. I hunted Northeast Illinois, too much population, not enough hunting lands. Will need to travel for hunting. Thanks
I'm hunting in Texas.
That was a 8,000 acre lease that we've had for the last 19 years. We lost (or will loose May 31, 2010) the lease to mis-managment of the new 4th year new owner...3rd owner total...
There are some good public land hunts, but they are drawing hunts for a specific day/date. The open public land is hunted pretty hard. The local effort is pretty stiff.
Hello CaptnC Yes I understand the license red tape, we In Illinois have "lotto" drawning for firearm deer hunts, sometime we miss out firearm deer hunting cuz failed to get tag due to" lotto" not pick our name.Thanks for your reply, I find this hog hunt interesting. You got some nice hogs. Have a good one. IRONMULE
Thats sweet I have seen some deer shot like this, both through the head.

Your shopping cart is empty!
Costa Rica have always had a decent international team, and they've proven capable of creating talented players. At the moment they're excited at the potential shown by Keylor Navas and Bryan Ruiz, but they're also hoping to create more players in their mould. It's Navas that the fans boast on the back of their jerseys, but it shouldn't be long until they find themselves with plenty of prospects coming through.

Thank you for these posts -- I'm here tonight (this morning) after my first real cheat and feeling a bit lost. I'm not sure why I cheated, but the scale shows that I'm up 4 lbs. So I can't sleep. I had friends over this evening, and had a couple of glasses of wine and lots of Indian food. And a couple of cupcakes. I didn't even make a plan to stay on protocol and I so very easily disregarded all of my hard work staying on P2 protocol for the past two weeks.
In reading these posts, and trying to understand the emotional underpinnings of this sabotage, I see that my particular way of sabotage is almost like a metaphor for my life-- "unintentional". Like I take no responsibility for anything -- like I'm along for the ride. I react to my environment only. And not in a blame-someone-else way, at least not directly. Tonight it was almost like the I was unable to change the "playing host" role to fit my needs.
I guess I fix this by trying to be less on auto-pilot generally, right? I worry about my ability to function in later phases when it's less structured.

Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is a wonderful park for an overnight visit. The showers/restrooms were very clean and private. The sites had cement pads and were very level. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This was a really nice park, but only had dry camping. On the plus side, over half of the campsites were pull-throughs, which provided plenty of room for our fifth wheel. Some of the pull-throughs were long enough to have 2, sometimes 3 rigs on one site. The desert landscape was beautiful. We would stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2008
Very nice campground. Fairly close to Myrtle Beach area. Sites were level and shady. Very peaceful. Sites were well manicured and campground is well cared for. We were there just for an overnight stop, but would definitely stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2008
Very dusty. There seemed to be quite a few permanents, along with a lot of construction workers staying in the park, but the park did not look run down. Sites were level. Not sure if we would stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2008
Sites were level. We were able to stay hooked up to our fifth wheel. But, we weren't able to walk outside without walking on stickers. Very difficult for our dog to go outside. Had to pick her up and carry her to a safe patch of grass. Not sure if we would stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2008
Pull through site was very hard to pull through and overhead wires made it difficult to climb on roof of RV. TV cable was strung on ground across campsites. Very dusty.

Seeking advice on s54 potential
As the title says, I'm looking for insight on the s54's potential being a fully built race motor to be somewhere near the range of 490 whp. And no, I want to stay away from forced induction. Not that I frown upon it or anything, but we're working on staying NA to remain in a certain race class. What we've have looked into thus far is sleeves, cams, and the csl airbox with alpha-n tune. Aside from that we were hoping some of you could shed some light on other components. Our cash flow in the past has been devoted to the chassis really, Bilstein PSS9s, TMS subframe reinforcement kit, sway bars, weight reduction within the car to include Kirk Roll Bar and sparco buckets, StopTech BBK, K&N Typhoon CAI, TMS power pulleys, and high-performance ignition coils. We're ready to order a pair of headers (not sure if for the sake of harmony with future components we should choose euro headers or SSv1) to hook up nicely to our SS connecting pipes.
Much to the dismay I'm sure with many of you, if we cannot achieve somewhere near 490 whp, we have considered as a last resort to motor swap the s54 with the s65 and go from there. Our end objective is to achieve near the power and performance of the e46 m3 GTR and as far as I know, the s65 although underpowered by comparison is an improvement of the p60b40.
490rwhp?! I doubt it. Maybe 490hp...
Honestly this forum is dominated by the non-M guys.
I'd try the bf.c track section, this forum's track section and M3forum.
This build hits a few of the same things you're looking into:
I don't see why the S65 would be a "downer". it's lighter than the S54, and that weight would sit further back too. and it's maybe more reliable.
A 490whp S54 though.. yikes! How wide would the powerband on that be? 100rpm? :p
the S54 seems to be pretty de-tuned from the factory, I imagine that although the S65 is closer to the edge, it's still considerably de-tuned as well. With nearly a liter more displacement to start with, I imagine it would be considerably cheaper to get to ~500hp with a race setup.
I really like both engines, though. if I had a different car, I'd probably do the S65, but the S54 is my motor of choice..
call VAC motorsports, they can level set with you
I spoke with a few mechanics whose shops have their own track cars and the consensus seems to be that what I am trying to achieve is not possible. The highest gain I have heard of was roughly 390 whp, a 100 shy of the e46 M3 GTR.
As far as the s65, it's not a downer, by any means. I have consulted with my father to rethink what our budget on this car is set at, and we're leaning towards finding an e60 m5 v10 and swapping it with that. I've seen that done a few places, not just online, so we'll most likely go that route since WE would not be "pioneering" the idea.
what is your budget?
Well, it was 40k. Some mechanics suggested doubling that. In all honesty, I think I can keep it near 40 with selling my s54 motor and all related components.
very expensive to get more than 400whp on a s54.
no need to update post until youve talked to them.
interested in what they have to say
Thats too much to ask without. Boring, fuel injectors, methanol injection? Prob need aftermarket head and crank , race underdrive pulleys. I love my s54. Ide like to see that used rather than a v10. Check it out some more

TORONTO, Ontario (August 16, 2012) – The launch earlier this year of the Rogers One Number service marks a new era in the Canadian telco industry and provides another benchmark for Architech's Agile software development approach.
In a collaborative effort with Rogers, Architech was tasked with building the web portal and mobile call management tool as primary components of Rogers One Number, essentially providing the integration between the web portal and a variety of network services. Architech led the architecture, analysis, development, integration and project management. The web portal was built concurrently with the rollout of Rogers' new IMS network architecture, making for a complex and challenging development environment in which to deliver.
"This was a complex integration with many new service endpoints to make it all work seamlessly for the user," says Jungho Kim, Architech's CTO & Chief Architect. "Continuous collaboration across various groups from Product, to IT, to Engineering was essential, and our Agile delivery model was key to ensuring superior user experience and a product that hit the market need."
Architech's approach – which included frequent feature prioritization and bi-weekly demos – required the Architech project team to learn the capabilities and best usage of new features in the network and combine them into a user experience that made sense, while also managing input from many of stakeholders and incorporating feedback from Rogers customers participating in beta testing.
"Canadians have told us that with more and more technology, their lives have become more confusing and complicated. We now have a seamless and easy-to-use solution for them with Rogers One Number," said John Boynton, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Communications. "By extending your Rogers wireless number to your computer, we're transforming and simplifying how Canadians connect with family and friends."
Architech is a custom software design and engineering company. We create great-looking web, mobile and business applications integrated with backend systems that drive organizations forward. We offer our clients the end-to-end services required to make applications successful including strategy, interface design, prototyping, systems integration, software engineering, product rollout and coaching. Since inception in 2004, our 100+ projects have been successful through small team deployments that follow an Agile process emphasizing collaboration, software engineering best practices, and incremental software delivery.

Gai Waterhouse paid tribute to her late father, TJ Smith, after equalling his record of seven Epsom Handicaps with all-the-way winner Fat Al.
The famous Randwick mile, held on the racecourse which was Waterhouse's childhood playground, ran in gloomy conditions on Saturday but nothing could dim the smile on the trainer's face.
"It's mind boggling," Waterhouse said about equalling her father's record, something she is getting used to. "You never think you are going to do it.
"If it wasn't for Dad I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing."
What she is doing is training racehorses - and her jockeys - with Epsom winner Tommy Berry acknowledging a stiff talking-to from the trainer. "I have come a long way since I've been at the stable and it's great to win for Gai."
Among Fat Al's owners are Waterhouse's daughter Kate and her husband Luke Ricketson, who were on hand to see Berry take favourite Fat Al ($4.60) to the lead out of the barriers.
Under hard riding, Fat Al denied Ambidexter by a head with Rolling Pin ($41) third, 1 lengths further back.
Topweight Shoot Out ($6) was the best of premier trainer Chris Waller's trio, finishing seventh with Said Com ($17) 11th and Rangirangdoo ($12) 12th.
Waterhouse said Fat Al had been appropriately named as a young horse but had blossomed as he got older. "He was a roly poly horse when he started and two years later he is here winning an Epsom.
"I'm privileged to train him."
Berry said he had been caught by surprise by how close Ambidexter got to him. "I knew Rolling Pin was there but Ambidexter caught me by surprise. He got to me but I don't think he got past me."
Last year's winner Secret Admirer made ground late to finish fifth, 2 lengths from the winner.
She carried 54kg compared with the three placegetters who all had 52kg, which her jockey James McDonald said was a telling factor.
"She ran home really strongly but it was just too big a task to give away the weight to those 4-year-olds."
Berry's twin brother, Nathan, was on another of the Waterhouse runners, Kontiki Park, who trailed the 15-horse field, while stablemate Wild And Proud finished 10th.
Apprentice Chad Schofield, who replaced an ailing Christian Reith on the Gwenda Markwell-trained Rolling Pin, was fined $200 for overuse of the whip.

It's not adapting, it is re-writing. How exactly do you expect the
likelihood for such model to look like? -xtmepoisson- has a numeric
integration of the random effects for the likelihood, and
zero-inflation means putting a Poisson model into a mixture model with
probability of the identically zero and Poisson components. Depending
on whether you believe there should or should not be a random effect
in the mixture component selection equation, you get two different
ways of zero-inflating -xtmepoisson-, and if you have more than two
levels, it becomes a total mess. You'd probably be able to estimate
whatever mess you want to get into with -gllamm-, with all the usual
wrapping the head around its syntax and data management.

Even though Tawana Brawley was just a baby when she made a mistake back in 1987, people are still going after her for life. Over 25 years ago, Brawley committed an act that almost ruined the career of Rev. Al Sharpton even before it began. She lied about being raped and had the nation rallying to support her as a victim of severe brutality on the part of law enforcement officers.
Now, 25-years later, Brawley is being told to repay the money she owes to the man that she falsely accused of R*pe. She'd been hiding for the past quarter century, but she can't run any longer. The new court order has finally arrived at Brawley's house, and the courts aren' t taking no for an answer.

VIOLENCE in sport raised its ugly head once more yesterday as a heated South Zone Intercol final between Presentation College and Shiva Boys Hindu College was abandoned after an unruly spectator ran to the sideline and smashed a beer bottle on the head of one of the linesmen.
With just 10 minutes to go before the final whistle at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella, a supporter unhappy with the officials decisions throughout the encounter opted to take things into his own hands, as Presentation led 2-1 with goals from Ancil Williams (30th) and Shakiel Henry (46th). The lone goal for Shiva Boys was scored by Nathaniel Garvia in the 33rd minute.

Well it went down like this. My friend and I have this other friend that has an srt-4. He has a boost controller. I'm not shure what boost he was running. My friends wrx has a hks downpipe, upipe, a scoobysport muffler cat-back, and a boost controller and a stage 2 turboxs unichip. But the problem is that he's running 18+ pounds of boost becuase his upipe isn't programmed into the unichip, and the boost controller is ****ed up it's a crappy one. But he raced the srt-4 anyway.
Now of course I thought that his wrx would blow him away because my wrx is stock and he blew me away, it has awesome power, not shure what it is to the wheels but it felt fast and awesome. So being friends with the srt-4 we did 3 races, the first one he wanted to start out in second, for what reason i don't know, but the wrx rpm's weren't up enough and the srt-4 just took off, but the race was right. So we go from a stop, and of course the wrx blew him out of the water. Just because the srt-4 sat the spinning, so not fare for him. SO then we did a first gear roll the wrx started high rpm's this time, then we went we stayed ahead of him until 4th gear and I looked over and he took off.
I'm like what the ****, this wrx has all this stuff done to it and all that srt-4 has is a boost controller. Then the wrx turbo really sucks. I need some input on this bad! I'm pissed but have an apprecition for those srt-4's.
Also what's an upgrade turbo for a wrx and do u have to do anything else to the car like upgrade intercooler, fuelpump, etc.

Christopher Wren's masterpiece is an architectural marvel. Come and test your hearing in the Whispering Gallery and stay for evensong
The iconic landmark that now stands in the city is St Paul's Cathedral Mk VI at least – designed by Christopher Wren after its predecessor burnt down during the Great Fire of London in 1666. Amazingly, despite the devastation caused to many of the City of London churches all around it, the Cathedral survived the bombs of the Blitz and was the focus of celebration and mourning in 1945. It continues today, with some of the highest profile weddings and funerals held here.
Buy the sightseeing ticket to walk around inside the Cathedral, venturing down to the Crypt to see the tombs of Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Christopher Wren, and climbing up into the dome. Here the circular walkway around the inside edge of the dome is called the Whispering Gallery – the acoustics enable you to be heard right across the other side of the walkway even when you talk softly. If you have the stamina and a head for heights, you can walk up even further and see views over London from the Stone and Golden galleries.
St Paul's Cathedral features many stunning design features, including the mesmerising Geometric staircase that looks like the shell of a giant snail. There are several different tour options depending on how long you've got for exploring. Included in the main entry ticket you can hear the 15–20 minute introductory talk and take the 90-minute guided tours that run Monday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm. For an extra charge you join a more in-depth, one-hour Triforum Tour, available on set days through the year (see the website for details).
There's lots to enjoy for free, too. Services throughout the week are free to attend, as are the Choral Evensong sessions (Monday to Saturday 5pm, Sunday 3.15pm). And if you just want to sit on the steps and sing 'Feed the Birds' from 'Mary Poppins' (many do), the grounds are worthy of a visit. Planted with flowers and trees to encourage wildlife, the surrounding gardens are designed with plenty of areas for tourists and office workers to sit out in the sun.

I will be visiting the Cathedral for a second time in 3 years for a charity event held by VSO in December. They will have Griff Rhys Jones and the City of London Choir performing that evening. It should be a great night. I highly recommend you go and see the Choir performing on the night especially if its in the St Paul's Cathedral. The architectural build simply is one of the greatest in the City.
Go on a Sunday for a service- beautiful music, flowers, the church 'in action' and it doesn't cost a thing...
I visited St Paul's Cathedral recently and was completely overwhelmed by how good condition the Cathedral is still in, although there was currently a service on everyone was very welcome and still allowed for a good explore around the place. Best of all it was free! (Although I believe if you want to have a look at the top of the Cathedral etc then you have to pay) Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys historical landmarks; a must-see.

Baldomir-Rubio final presser
By Gabriel F Cordero
The final press conference was held Thursday for Saturday's WBF super middleweight title fight between Marco Antonio "Veneno" Rubio and Carlos "Tata" Baldomir at the Estadio Miguel Aleman in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico.
"I know the abilities of Marco Antonio Rubio, he has a strong punch but I came prepared to prove I'm a great fighter, and that the years are only a number. I will beat him," said Baldomir.
Meanwhile middleweight heavy hitters Marco "Dorado" Reyes and Julio Cesar "Baby Face" Garcia, committed to providing a great fight. "I don't like to talk much, just work for a great bout. All I can say is that I'm going to knock out Reyes," said Garcia.
Also Irma "Whirlwind" Garcia will take on the legendary Laura Serrano in an eight rounder at junior featherweight. "I'm back, ready and determined to seek the recognition I've earned in the ring," said Serrano.

Dollar Store Halloween Dinner Party
>> 9.23.2009
With Halloween around the corner, it's time to start thinking about throwing a party. One of the thriftiest ways to get into the Halloween spirit without spending a lot of dough is to through a little dinner party. Why not have a small get-together in before heading out to larger parties (that other people have to put together ;) ).
I recently visited my favorite dollar store, Dollar Tree and came up with some great inspiration for a fun party. I found some adorable dishes and then chose coordinating accessories from there, trying to stay in an orange, black, white color scheme:
Throw a candle in a few of these skeletons for instant mood lighting.
This bright orange spiderweb table cover will anchor all of the elements on the table.
Adding the skeleton decoration above the dining room door along with spreading the spider webs around the room will bring the entire place together!
Let's look at the numbers:
$8 for plates and serving dishes
$7 table cover & candles(6)
$2 coordinating candies
$3 spiderwebs(2) & door decor
Free: use your own glasses, silverware, and napkins (white)... If you have them laying around, try to add in some punches of purple with flowers!
So, for a grand total of $20 you can set the mood for a fun and festive pre-party dinner! Just don't forget to add the food!!
Remember, it's important to stay picky to avoid making it look like you shopped at the dollar store. For more tips on finding deals vs. duds at the dollar store, check this out. Have you started thinking about Halloween plans yet? If you've written a post about décor, please show me your link!

Diego Maradona has labelled Liverpool and Uruguay forward Luis Suarez the "best striker in the world" ahead of the World Cup, writes Ed Malyon in Brazil.
But the 1986 World Cup-winning star didn't stop there, also claiming that the Reds frontman "was going to smash it," at this summer's tournament in Brazil before commenting that Suarez had "two really big balls."
Maradona's thoughts on Suarez came during an appearance on a televised World Cup special with broadcaster Victor Hugo, the commentator who provided the famous backing to Maradona's second goal against England at Mexico 86.
Suarez scored 31 Premier League goals last season and provided 12 assists as Liverpool finished runners up but is a doubt for Uruguay's World Cup opener after an operation on his knee.
The 27-year-old returned to training with the Celeste at their Sete Lagoas training base yesterday.

He's Baa-aack!
Connecticut Independent Senator Joe Lieberman has felt his share of Jewish rage in the past years. Many Jewish Democrats never forgave him for running independently after loosing the Democratic primary in 2006, and Jewish liberals forcefully disagreed with his support for the Iraq war.
Things took a turn for the worse when Lieberman was a deciding voice on allowing healthcare reform to move forward in the Senate and insisted not to let it pass as long as the plan included a public option. This approach led rabbis and members of the Connecticut Jewish community to protest outside Lieberman's home and to write a letter denouncing his refusal to allow healthcare reform to move forward. Jewish groups expressed their dismay with Lieberman's insistence, which at the time was seen as potentially derailing the entire reform.
Eventually, Democrats dropped the public option, Lieberman lifted his opposition and the bill passed Congress and was signed into law.
That particular healthcare debate is over, and now Joe Lieberman is emerging as a hero of liberal Jewish values, thanks to the leadership role he played in repealing "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT).
It wasn't only the decision of Lieberman, who is an Orthodox Jew, to attend a special meeting of the Senate on a Saturday. It was his forceful push for the repeal, which included public speaking, one-on-one meetings with Senators opposing the repeal, and the use of his hawkish defense credentials to make the point that doing away with DADT will not have a negative impact on the military's ability to carry out its missions.
Jewish groups, as well as gay and lesbian organizations, praised Lieberman for his work. "We particularly thank Senator Joe Lieberman and Representative Patrick Murphy for their steadfast leadership and commitment to this legislation," said the Jewish Council for Public Affairs in a statement issued Sunday.
Mark Pelavin, associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said Lieberman was among the few who led the way in repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell. The group was at odds with the senator over healthcare, but Pelavin noted that it is not unusual to agree with lawmakers on certain issues and disagree on others. "We always said that he is an extremely effective lawmaker and that it is best to have him on your side," he added.

Tierra Mia Organics, Raw Goat Milk Skin Therapy, Shampoo Bar, Lime in Coconut, 4.2 oz
I love this for my short limp hair. It is the best bar shampoo I hv used and i do not understand the negative reviews. My hair becomes full and fluffy after use. 5 stars!
Leaves lots of residue on your hair. Very difficult to rinse. Waste of time. Mess.
Posted by GUD174 on Jan 21, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I have dry hair and scalp, and dandruff problems from time to time. It says it's for oily hair, so I thought it would be so much for my hair, so I was expecting to use this shampoo as a purifying one, just once in a while. When I started to shampoo my hair, it did foam and I felt it was cleaning well. When I rinsed the product, my hair felt sticky and really tangled. It leaves LOTS of residue on the hair. LOTS. I rinsed it very well, but I had to shampoo it again with another product because it was impossible to get rid of that mess. Also, it has an strong smell. It's not disgusting, but it's really strong. I don't recommend this product to anyone, and specially not to those who have oily scalp. I will never buy this again.

Ended up using this as a hand soap
Posted by Flicka on Mar 12, 2014 | Verified Purchase
The scent is quite nice and I thought the washing properties were good as well, until my hair had completely dried after the shower. This made my hair sticky and greasy looking. I had to hear my hair up on a braid and wash it the next day. I really wanted to like this product, I guess it just wasn't right for my hair type.
Not recommended at all.

I fully agree with the other 1-star reviews - this tangles hair a lot and it's impossible to properly rinse. I have used other shampoo bars too and I never had such a problem.

I adore this as soap! It moisturizes the skin, leaving my sensitive skin feeling silky smooth and pampered. This soap is so gentle and lovely, I use it on my face, too. As a shampoo, it's better for people with dry hair or dry scalps. It was nice the first time (followed by an apple cider vinegar + water rinse), but the second time I shampooed with it, my hair got oily fast. If you have dry hair/scalp, this little bar might work wonders for you.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I got a call 5 years ago from David Beckman. He told me of a great lease option for my business. I could lease equipment and at the end of the lease buy it for $1.00.
So I took him up on the offer. Pick out a pickup truck. He sent all the paper work to the dealer and I had to sign it at the dealership. Every thing went good for five years.
Then after five years I called to find out how to make my $1.00 buy out and get the title to the truck.
I was told that since I didn't contact them three months before the anniversary date that it automatically renews for another year. They also said after the year was up I could buy it out at fair market value. I was completely taken back by that. She said to read my contract.
I filed a claim with the BBB. Five point called me to make a deal. The deal was (to make a long story short) pay them another $4,200 and I will get title. So I ended up paying 65 months of lease payments then another $4,200 for the buy out for a grand total of $44,800.00 for a $25,000.00 truck. I would love to build a house for my friend David Beckman and charge his rates.
This is a total scam and would be willing get involved in the class action suit.

Steamboat Springs No try-outs, no voice lessons, nor any professional experience was needed for the men and women that make up the Columbine Chorale.
As they belted out their last practice before their final performance,Tuesday, mouths opened wide and beautiful pitches came out of each person.
Women's vocal chords hit some of the highest notes, while the four men, dispersed throughout the rows of women, dropped their voices to a low drone.
The Columbine Chorale Spring 2001 Concert will bring Steamboat an uplifting and spirited evening with "Timeless Love Songs" as their spring theme.
Along with the instrumental talents of Brian Houston on piano, Tom Hathaway on bass, Bobby Howard on drums, Neil Marchman on guitar and Dan Isbell on trumpet, the 34 singers will give the Steamboat Christian Center new life with a rhythm that will make you want to dance, but with a volume pleasing to the ear.
The Columbine Youth Chorale will sing three songs with the "adult" chorale and five on their own, but the children will be interspersed with the adults throughout the performance, said Christel Houston, director of the chorales.
The Youth Chorale contains children from third grade to eighth grade. The first chorale is made up of those in high school to retired people.
"A choir like this works with a 'y'all come attitude,'" Houston said.
Sherry Sullivan, singer in the chorale since 1998 and the publicist, said when a couple of friends convinced her to come to a practice for the Christmas performance, she didn't hesitate.
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world," Sullivan said. "It's a kick. The songs are just so much fun."
Although Sullivan sang in the school choir and at church when she was a child, she didn't think after so many years she would get on stage again.
But when the Christmas performance practices came around, she thought to herself, "How hard can Christmas music be? By my age, I should know them all."
Much to Sullivan's surprise, only one song seemed familiar.
"I only knew that song because I had a record as a little girl," Sullivan said.
Since then the years in the chorale have flown by so quickly that no one seems to know when the Columbine Chorale first began.
Catherine Lykken said when she retired from social services in 1985, she joined the chorale, probably in '86. However, she's not too sure either.
From chorale members at Tuesday night's practice, everyone agreed that the early '80s was the safest bet, but no one ventured on a specific year.
With the choir practicing about 30 yards away, Lykken turned her head, made a semi-circle with her hand over her mouth and whispered, "We're all equal, except some of us are better than others."
Lykken said it has been a therapeutic recreational activity since retirement.
With the influx of experienced and non-experienced singers, the chorale has had to change the performance location.
"We have more music in this town that others only dream of," Houston said. "People have come to this concert in this church for 20 years."
"The biggest thing this year is we're changing venues. We got too big. We've outgrown this church," Sullivan said.
While the number of chorale members increases with the years, so does the variety of music selected for each performance.
For the Christmas concert last year, Sullivan wondered why the unfamiliar songs had not been given radio time at all.
"How did this song get on the radio, and this one didn't," Sullivan said of the song '"Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer," vs. the more poetic and traditional Christmas songs. "She always finds surprises. She always finds some kind of arrangement that's different."
As a member of the Steamboat Springs Arts Council, Columbine Chorale also is offered as a class at Colorado Mountain College's Alpine Campus.
Houston said the college took it over in order to help the organization continue to grow.
