Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he knows nothing about the early morning police raids that centred on an apartment complex in Rexdale linked to the alleged video that purportedly shows him smoking crack.
Mr. Ford, who usually rushes past the press outside his office and has refused for three weeks to take any question on the drug allegations, changed tack Thursday morning, stopping three times to address reporters.
Asked if he is worried that his name might come up as part of the investigation, a defiant Mr. Ford dared reporters to dig into his activities – pulling from his jacket pocket a piece of paper with the licence plate number of a van he said was used Wednesday night to photograph him.
"You want to follow me around, take pictures. I don't care. I have nothing to hide," Mr. Ford said. "I support the police 100 per cent. They did a great job."
Mr. Ford also was asked if he is concerned the alleged drug video will come out in court and for the first time since he read a statement on the matter, he responded.
"Guys, I've already commented on that," he said. "I can't comment on something that I've never seen or doesn't exist. I don't know how many more times I've got to say this. It's pretty straightforward."
Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair refused to discuss any evidence involving Thursday's early-morning raids and would not comment on whether the mayor has been linked to the investigation.
"I must advise you that we are not able to disclose either the investigative methodologies that we have deployed over the course of this investigation, or the evidence that has been obtained," he said. "The only place for the legal disclosure of the evidence that has been obtained throughout this investigation is in a court of law."
Chief Blair said it is routine not to brief the mayor's office before police conduct a major operation. "Our standard operating procedure in the conduct of such investigations is to share information on a need-to-know basis," he said.
Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday, told reporters the raids have nothing to do with Mr. Ford. "This raid is just the police doing their business and good luck to them," he said.
But for the first time, the deputy mayor confirmed that a tip was received by the mayor's office that dealt specifically with criminal activity at a specific address on Dixon Road. He could not confirm if it was one of buildings involved in the police raids.
"The only thing that connected the mayor to that building at all was that somebody phoned the mayor's office and said one of their neighbours was dealing drugs, would you stop it, and the mayor said, fine, I'll turn this over to the police and that's what he did," Mr. Holyday said.
Asked how he knew about the call, Mr. Holyday said: "Because that's the way the mayor's office treats these things. They get a lot of calls about different things."
Mr. Holyday said the call to the mayor's office was about a specific address, but could not provide more detail. "An address on Dixon Road," he said.
Mr. Ford did not tell him about the call, Mr. Holyday said. "The mayor's staff would have handled this, not the mayor," he said. "People trying to tie the mayor to an address in a building because he got a phone call is absurd." Earlier in the day, Mr. Ford told reporters police had not yet briefed him on the raids. He said he only learned of them while listening to the radio on his drive to work.
City councillors returned Thursday for a third day of debate and as details of the raids began to emerge, emotions also increased on the council floor.
During a morning debate over an investigation of eviction practices at Toronto Community Housing, Mr. Ford held the floor for the better part of an hour, listing past abuses at the agency and at one point delivering a verbal pounding to Councillor Gord Perks after he suggested a crackdown on tenants in arrears led to the evictions of seniors – the topic of the report.
"That is not true," the mayor said, adding "People aren't going to live for free at Toronto Community Housing … I don't care if you're two years old, 20 years old, 200 years old, you're not going to live for free." Mr. Ford's mike was finally turned off as he began shouting at Mr. Perks about past spending abuses at the housing agency. "I know it's sensitive. I know it's sensitive," he bellowed. "You're the same person that condoned all this."

|In the first and the second third of pregnancy ibuprofen can be taken only after consultation with your doctor. Ibuprofen should not be taken in the last third of pregnancy due to a higher risk of complications for the mother and her child. Ibuprofen and its metabolites pass in small amounts into breast milk. Since to date the adverse effects after use of ibuprofen are not know, it is not necessary to temporarily interrupt breastfeeding with a short-term administration of the drug. If your treatment is long-term and/or you take high doses, breastfeeding should be interrupted.

Frown lines getting you down? Ditch the ouch of needlework in doctor's offices and play it smooth with these easy-to-use, self-adhesive patches instead. In a matter of hours, they help reduce the appearance of pesky furrowed brows.
I could not figure out why this was called elevens. Even when I read the instructions and found that you were supposed to put this on your forehead between your brows. I guess because I don't have the elevens lines between my brows it didn't make any sense to me. I do, however, have fine crow's feet, so I cut these up and tried them on the crow's feet. I didn't see a big difference, and I definitely would not pay to purchase either the elevens or the crows.2
After doing a little more research, I learned that this product doesn't require any more research. Its just a sticker. I was so skeptical that I let the package sit on my nightstand wondering if it was worth the silly look while sleeping. I finally did try one and it's just plain silly.1

Location: Watershed Physical Processes Research
Project Number: 6060-13000-023-22-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Apr 4, 2011
End Date: Aug 15, 2012
Perform hydraulic experiments specifically designed to validate the performance of numerical models used to predict the movement of a flood wave resulting from a dam break.
Numerical models are an important tool used in many areas of engineering and science that allow for rapid, inexpensive simulation of a variety of conditions. Accurate numerical modeling requires calibration by laboratory or field data. This helps to ensure that the model adequately captures the physics of the physical system and gives a standard to use in model testing and development. The need for calibration is especially relevant for hydraulic models, where bulk flow and turbulent quantities interact with structures such as streambeds, stream banks, dams, etc., in very complex ways. A new hydraulic model testing facility is to be constructed and housed at the National Sedimentation Laboratory. The facility will be designed and built for measuring transient flow during dam break scenarios. The design will also allow for convenient reconfiguration to meet future needs for model calibration and validation. High speed cameras and acoustic sensors will be used to record water surface profile data that will be compared to model results. The three general configurations which the facility will be designed for are as follows: 1. Simple dam break—non channelized flow. The downstream area will be wide with respect to the breach and can be equipped with or without sidewalls. Both dry and wet downstream conditions will be possible. Allowances will be made to add obstacles to the flow such as positive cutlines that are high or overtoppable and negative cutlines (dips, cuts). 2. Simple dam break—channelized flow. Configurable with/without bends with a free overfall at the end of test section. Wet or dry downstream with obstacles such as positive cutlines that are high or overtoppable and negative cutlines. 3. 1D-2D coupling with channel in line with dam breach and with/without irregular sidewall heights.

This watch is so comforatble, I switched the band and you do not even know you are wearing it! Lume,is great and I very rarely need to use the indiglo, I collect timex,watches and am glad this is in my rotation!
i wanted a watch for the outdoors & chose this one: watch is very light weight barly know you have on. the hands & numbers are easy to read at a glance. even though its plastic if seams rugged. the LED part is very small & not something u can quickly look at & read the numbers. my con is the band is stiff & not comfortable. the edges tend to dig into wirst. also the band tip has a square end making it hard to slide into the little loop after buckleing it on. hopefully the band will become ... softer with time. also the manual is on line only & not that clear as it includes sever models with similar button functions.
I've had 2 other Polar's including one of the first ones offered and an RS200 I still own. After 8 months of using my RC3GPS all the time here's my assessment: Good: features, accuracy, size, battery life (contradicts other accounts but mine has been going strong); gray face easy to read Not as Good: GPS lock takes about 2 minutes where I live on a tree lined driveway at 8,300 ft about sea level; can't customize the screens (minor as there are enough screens/info. to satisfy my needs; light not ... so bright as my aging eyes that need help ;)
Been using for 3 months very easy to use great features like interrelated GPS. Light weight and not very bulky. I also like the polar trainer web page helps you understand in detail work outs and hoe to recover your body.
The sweatshirt was purchased as a gift for my son and worked out really well. But, what impressed me was the way the order was handled. I went to the store on Shelbyville Road to look for the specific hoodie my son had seen at another Academy store. There were none in his size, an associate who noticed me looking through the stack came to assist. She placed the order online while we were standing at the display and was able to take my payment. No standing in line! The order came on time as indicated.
I bought this for my son & they were super helpful in the store. I ordered it on a saturday & in came in that next wednesday. The jacket is nice & very comfortable. My son loves it.
These are TERRIFIC! The weight of soccer shorts, but long. Just a little bit warmer, with out suffocating you. Perfect for South East Louisiana spring.
Great pants for working out. I would buy them again.
I bought it and love it... great quality fits perfect. Machine wash frendly.
I received the cap really quick. Great store to shop at
I have both colors, would love to see this american flag decal on camo front white mesh back hat. Awsome product love the hat.
Love the quality and colors! I've been wanting a red, white, and blue for a while!
Very nice visor. Can't wait to wear it to the beach!!!
Ordered some sunglasses online from Academy.com. Lowest price I could find online. Requested free 3-5 day shipping. Received them in 2 days, exactly as ordered.
Looks good, feels good. Overall great quality brand and I am a fan of their product
I've purchase cheap knock offs online but the real deal dominates them. It took me a while to finally shell out the higher price but I'm very glad I did. I never leave this gear behind when I go hiking and has been, on a couple of occasions, a near life saver. Keeps you a little bit more comfortable in cool temps when a little means a lot. Helps keeps your body temp cooler in the hot sun when wet. I can't imagine a time I would not use it or have it handy.
I really like these glasses, They a very light and fit really well. I also like the fog free lenses. They look great too!
I bought it about 6 weeks ago. It has become my favorite hat. Very comfortable and durable
Excellent watch! I fish, run, and crossfit and have had no issues with the durability. It's pretty large, but it's stylish enough for it to not be a problem.
I bought this cap several weeks back in our local store. it's awesome!
I bought one several months ago and liked it so much I bought this one as a gift. He is a deputy sheriff, so it really fits in. I am really impressed with your customer service from the young man who answered the phone. We are not used to that kind of service here in south Florida/
The item wasn't in stock so I ordered it online while at the store. Everything worked out great.
Super happy with my HeatGear armor, I recommend it 100%.
I've bought three of these belts from academy and thrilled about the quality of product and the affordability of this product.... Keep up the good work

Forget poignancy. Dominic Knight proposes a film festival that provides more laughs than tears.
For 50 years, the Sydney Film Festival has brought us such global cinematic giants as Kurosawa, Buuel and Godard. This year's program is no less highbrow, featuring Chen Kaige, Oliver Stone and the redoubtable Dagur Kari, of whom I've never heard but who the program claims is Iceland's answer to Jim Jarmusch.
And the vacuum-flask-clutching cineastes have once again been queuing in droves to catch the latest subtitled treat from Kurdistan.
Now, I'm sure that the scenes of the child dressed as a giant mouse in Israel's Knyafayim Shvurot are just as poignant as the festival booklet suggests. And I'm as eager to see Romance director Catherine Breillat's latest flick as the next guy in a greasy raincoat. But as I looked through this year's program, I found myself asking where the fun movies were. And I suddenly realised that in its 50 years our film festival has never screened an American college movie.
This shocking statistic made me realise also that what we need is a Trashy Film Festival - because some of us can only take so much New Iranian cinema before we have to head over to Hoyts and detox with 2 Fast 2 Furious.
The current festival tends to focus on the emotive at the expense of the amusing. It brings us films from the arthouses of other societies, not the multiplexes, with the result that we rarely get to see how the rest of the planet entertains itself. A good Trashy Film Festival would be no less dedicated to the best of world cinema, but with far more of an emphasis on the kung fu movie.
I'd open my festival with Hong Kong's Shaolin Soccer, a tale of warrior monks who can levitate and use their skills to win soccer matches. This very profound film, a kind of Bend It Like Buddha, was Hong Kong's top-grossing film of all time and allows us to appreciate just how different that country's sense of humour is from our own - and how reliant on fat gags.
We'd also screen those bizarre Bollywood reinterpretations of Hollywood films. The recent blockbuster Kaante lets us see how much better Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs would have been if the hardened gangsters had regularly put their pistols to one side to launch into a song-and-dance number.
But in showcasing the best of Asia we must not neglect the West - not when the West contains Adam Sandler.
It's high time there was a retrospective that traced Sandler's development from early comedies such as Billy Madison, where he played a manchild with a silly voice, to his celebrated performance in the drama Punch-Drunk Love, where he played a manchild with a silly voice. The Trashy Film Festival would finally allow Sandler's oeuvre to be viewed as a consistent whole. It's what his insistence on playing only one role demands.
Of course, a film festival is more than just movies. It's also an opportunity for serious film scholarship, which is why we would host the first ever symposium on the role of the nerd in college movies.
The keynote speaker, Rick Moranis, would address the thorny issue of nerd sexuality, explaining how the ubiquitous peek into the girls' locker room scene is, in fact, a metaphor for the human condition. It would be very eye-opening.
And just think of the special guests we could get. I'll bet no film festival has ever asked The Rock to speak before, and I'm sure that, being a professional wrestler, he'd have a lot of amusing things to say.
I've even thought of the perfect venue: the inner-city's only remaining daggy, unrenovated cinema, Village Double Bay. Sure it's in an upmarket suburb but, in fact, its location is genuinely dodgy - it's right next to the Rivkin building. All that remains to decide on is the right McDonald's to be the festival club.
The Trashy Film Festival wouldn't have all that much in common with the Sydney Film Festival. For one thing, we'd be profitable. But whether you prefer Krzysztof Kieslowski or Chevy Chase, both programs would reflect cinema's capacity to take us on a journey, and often a deeply spiritual one.
It's just high time a film festival recognised that, for many of us, the greatest journey of all is a car chase.

My wife and I rented a unit in north Babylon moving to Long Island from Tampa, Florida to be closer to our grandchildren renting a reasonable 2 bedroom apartment since we'd be spending most of our time taking care of the kids in a 5500 sq ft home... To our surprise when we saw the apartment it had old and worn out carpet. To my wifes dislike (she hates carpet) we were well aware it would keep the apartment warmer and cozier in the winter but requested the carpet be replaced with new carpet. The leading agent specifically stated it's standard to replace it since the previous tenants lived there 3 years with a dog.... We mentioned a broken fan, fridge, microwave, toilet and unfinished painting. She insisted maintenance was still getting the place in order. When we moved in we were surprised nothing was completed (except paint)... The carpet had been shampoo'd. leading agent said the pipes had broken few days prior and maintenance was repairing and working on that all week but would have everything fixed. Then they stopped returning our calls. After 5 months we moved out and expect out deposit back. We are disgusted with lack of unprofessionalism.

PLRPRO Article Content For Your Sites
A few weeks ago I wrote about PLRPro and how I liked the type of content that they were adding to their content library. I just wanted to make a quick update to the content that I have added to some of my niche sites:
Acoustic Guitar, Astrological Beliefs, Tattoo Designs, Screenwriting, Content Curation, Emergency Preparedness, Ultimate Survival. These are just a few of the packages that I have treated myself to.
This is the PLR site to use if you want good content a little out of the ordinary, where one can use the content as the backbone of a mini site in an under served niche rather than yet another site about acne or weight loss. This is not filler content but inforamtive and interesting articles that hang together as a whle – great for new niche sites or ebooks.
The price is an unchanged $10 per niche falling to just $3 depending upon how many niches you want to buy. The cool thing is that you are able to order in a very flexible manner by upgrading or downgrading a subecription or just buying content strictly as and when you need it. Ten packages – 400 articles will cost just less than $50.
Niche marketers look here first. PLRPRO – High Quality Articles. (BTW, as at writing this, I m not even an affiliate of PLRPro.)

Oatey 3-piece drain installation question
I am installing a new tile shower in our main bathroom. All framing and blocking has been done. I installed a new p-trap directly under the drain area. My question is this: Oatey drain came with my Goof-proof shower kit (pre-slope sticks, etc.). I am wondering if the drain goes flush with the 3/4" plywood subfloor, or if the nubs for the clamping bolts rest on top of the subfloor. I have seen conflicting diagrams on this point.

Ripoff Report
OLIVE GARDEN1545 Flamingo Road LAS VEGAS, Nevada United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Date of Incident: 10/17/2010
Time of Incident: around 10 pm to 10:05 pm
Location: Olive Garden restaurant on 1545 Flamingo Road
Las Vegas, NV 89119
On the night of 10/17/2010, our party of six arrived at Olive Garden restaurant around 9:20 PM. There were very few people in their waiting area and the hostess came and talk to our group at least 3 times to let us know that they have not forgotten about us and they are preparing our table.
Olive Garden closes at 10 PM. We got our food at around 9:55 PM . We just now got our hot food and proceeded to eat. My sister in Law (lucy) now decided she needed to get a sweater in the car because she was cold. It was taking awhile for her to come back and my other sister in Law (Mary) received a call from Lucy stating that she is outside the front entrance of the restaurant and the staff would not let her back in. Mary went to the front entrance to talk to the staff and she returned angry because they will not let her sister back in. Mary's boyfriend also went to the front entrance to talk to the staff and he also came back angry because they would not allow Lucy back in. I finally went to the front to talk to the General Manager and hostesses. The hostess kept apologizing to me. The General Manager proceeded to tell me that he cannot let Lucy back in because it's Olive Garden's policy that they do not let anyone in after 10 PM for employee safety. I tried to reason to the manager that she did not know this but all he kept saying was it's for employee safety and that if he lets her in then he would have to shut down the whole restaurant. He said this with such an uncaring attitude.
I would like to make a comment regarding Employee Safety. Are Olive Garden employees safer at 8pm, 9pm, 9:30pm, 10pm, 10:01pm etc I don't remember anyone asking me whether I was carrying a weapon on me when I walked in the restauranthow do they know that they were safe? Are the Olive Garden employees walked to their car after they get off from work for safety or is the INSIDE of the restaurant considered the "HOLY GROUND"! I have never heard of policy stopping a potential robber or criminal. If someone really wants to get in Olive Garden after closing time--all they would have to do in slip inside as a customer was going out. I have eaten in a lot of Olive Garden restaurants even in different states and not once have I seen security in the premises.
The General Manager never once mentioned Customer Safetywhich makes it more apparent that Customer Safety is not important to Olive Garden!
He also told me that I shouldn't be rude to himI guess locking someone outside the restaurant while her hot food was waiting on the table WAS NOT RUDE! I was so distraughtI told the manager that Olive Garden wasted my time to have dinner with my family that they should pay me for coming to Olive Garden instead of me paying them. I told the manager that I want all the food on the table packed and I am not paying for a single penny. My TIME is VALUABLE just like everyone else. I saw one of the hostess whispered something to our waiter. Apparently the manager ok'd it because our waiter packed up all our food. We all left the restaurant very upset, distraught, humiliated, and emotionally stressed.
I can't believe that this is Olive Garden's policy? Where is the Safety of the Consumera young lady locked outside the door of the restaurant by herself at night-- it was also misting outside. My 10 yo daughter was with us. What if I had asked her to get something in the carthen this young girl would also be locked outside the door due to employee safety. What if I forgot my wallet in the car? I don't think Olive Garden will have a problem then of me stepping out of the restaurant to get my wallet so I can pay them. Oh, but I can't go back in the restaurant to pay due to employee safety. Wow --- what a novel idea to get free meals at Olive Garden. Now--maybe you're seeing how stupid this policy is. It's unbelievable that this is happening in this century and this country. I served over 8 years active duty Air Force and several years as a reservist and I have never had this emotional trauma of disrespect, injustice, stupidity, and uncaring attitude towards another fellow human being.
It is false advertisement for Olive Garden to promote the concept of Family Dining How can you have Family dining when your family member is locked out of the restaurant in the parking lot while her hot food is on the table! Her purse is inside the restaurant. This brand of When youre here, youre family -- does not apply when you stepped outside their door, THEN YOUR A TOTAL STRANGER!
Other details of this incident: I recorded every detail right outside the restaurant parking lot in my Iphone because I don't want to forget any specific detail of what happened and I want an accurate description of the incident. Lucy states that as she was going out of the doorthere were other customers that was also going out of the door. Lucy states that one of the hostess asked her if she is done with her dinner and she said "NoI'm not done, I just have to get something out of the car" then she stepped outside the door. No one stopped her nor told her of the restaurant policy. They knew we just got our food, otherwise, why would they bother to ask her that question. If this is a strict policy they should have told us while we were sitting in the waiting area for 15 minutes since they know we are late customers and there is a possibility that one of us would step outside the door after 10 PM. If this is a strict policy - why is the Manager now standing by the door of the restaurant to make sure that I do not let Lucy in but he didn't bother stopping her as she was going out. Was he just waiting to whip out his Olive Garden Policy and enforce his power! He must get a kick out of this.
Now you might say, what is the big deal--it's only food. Well, put yourself in this situation. You go to Olive Garden to have a nice dinner with your family and your starving because it is already late at night-- then your sister, your mother, your brother, your daughter/son, or yourself steps out door at 10:01 pm to smoke or get something in the car, well, guess what-- your whole dinner is over!
Where is Consumers Rights?
Olive Garden lets me order my food but I cant eat it?
Olive Garden enforces a policy but not inform customers about it!
Olive Garden only cares about employee safetybut totally ignores Customer Safety!
Olive Garden promotes Family Dining BUT without your Family!
What went wrong? No Common Sense!!!
If you dont have one, then you shouldnt manage anything!!!
You should not be a Manager. Otherwisejust put a robot by the door to spit out Policies and see how many customers comes back for more.
It is time to wake up Olive Garden Your Garden needs to grow Common Sense!
Very Peeved Ex-Customer!
(((email redacted)))
I have a very interesting update on this story.
I have talked to Director of Operations and according to him the General Manager was just following Policy.
I guess Olive Garden does not feel that their Managers are intuitive enough to make common sense decision that they have to follow policy by the letter!

I hope this was just a prank rip off report. If you paid nothing, you were not ripped off. The entitlement spewed in this report is sicken.
My husband was in the Air Force and Army, he was in the first Gulf War. If after 8 yrs of active duty in the Air Force and several yrs as a reservist and this your injustice in life. Consider yourself very lucky.
Also, if you ever did send your 10 year old outside at night by his or herself in a parking lot, that would be your fault.
Once again, you didn't pay so no rip off.

Lets see.....You come in near closing time with a good size group and expect to be wine and dined until when??? Those employees & manager(s) are trying to clean up and go HOME! If someone leaves and comes back with a sweater I'm sure one would assume that person(s) is going to stay awhile!....IT'S CLOSING TIME!!!! No doubt some spit or GOD knows what else went into your meals!
Word of the wise: Never mess with people who touch your food!!

If only I brought my medieval garb I could have been in extra in some Japanese tv show. The day was pretty much sent walking around the small city and taking in the views. On such a nice day it was a much needed break. ...
Day 51 - Republica San Marino City/State
... South along the Adriatic coast for about a hundred miles. We arrived at our hotel just South of the Port town of Ancona in an area known as Portonuovo which has a commanding view of the sea from a bluff. The wind howls up here and should make for a noisy night. The hotel is devoid of people save a few that we saw in the lounge area. Not surprising given both its remote location and the time of year. Very quite except.....for the wind. All in all a very enjoyable day.
Day 50 - A Bike Ride to the Adriatic
... waters. There were plenty of oil rigs scattered about in the distant water. There was a haze in the distance limiting visibility. After a bit we walked our bikes back to the path and continued on towards the lighthouse on the pier at the marina.
Upon arriving we found the lighthouse was occupied by tenants (used for housing) and the waterfront plaza was like a ghost town. We rode around a bit then headed towards the ferry to check it ...

The size and number of mosaics is really impressive and must have taken a long time to complete. Kathy took a lot of photos of the sites we visited.
Once done with the "mosaic March" we visited the tomb of Dante of "Inferno" fame. And of course we strolled most of ...

, (so then we hooked up to something under the car, I think it was the A-Arm ( its been a few years) anyway we finally got the car out of the field, less the bumper. and a few dents and gouges,,
Dragged it back home and washed and cleaned it up as good as we could, we had to park it back in the same spot, or he would notice it being moved, but we had to put it facing the opposite direction because, the thing wouldn't go in reverse.. that was better anyway cause that way the missing front bumper didn't show,
it took about a week for him to notice how it was parked , and when he did ,, I could hear him hollering for a mile,
needless to say, my a z z was burning for a LONG time,, I hated that car after that,,
and never cared for the 46 chevs either
LOLOL, boy does that bring back memories of being a dumb ars. My dad gave me the job to take his truck (55-F100) and go to the dump. I filled up the back, which included a couple of barrels full of garbage. I got the bright idea to dump it down near the bay in an area we called "the salt flats" (near the hundreds of acres of salt ponds where Leslie salt got the salt that is on your dinner table) and keep the five bucks or what ever he gave me to dump it a the dump. So I took the truck and went off towards the dump but ended up at "salt flats" in some trees and dumped my load (what a jerk!) and I hear the helicopter! A helicopter from some government agency (flood control I think) use to fly over the creek near my home once in a while. It had been completely rebuilt a few years earlier so I guess they kept an eye on it. Anyway, I drive out of the trees with the helicopter following me! I was freaked crapping my pants as I drove around away from my house as far from the creek as I dare go waiting for this friggin helicopter to stop it's following me. It finally does and I went home to find out I had left one of the barrels at the salt flats!
So I can't take the truck anymore because I wasn't allowed to just drive it when ever I wanted and I couldn't tell him why I wanted it. So later that night I got a cart from a friend that his family used to put their garbage can on. This cart was basically like an upside down garbage can lid with small casters on the bottom. I rode my bike all the way out to the salt flats (about a mile one way) and hauled that friggin barrel back on the trail along the creek back to my house and it got dark while I was down there, I was FREAKING OUT pulling that darn barrel all that way along the creek.
I would say that taught me better than anything my dad could have ever done.

« San Giacomo dell'Orio: more than just a feast! | Are you ready for Redentore? »
Giudecca and St Giorgio Maggiore: charming and truly Venetian islands
As small as it may be, Giudecca island offers to visitors such great churches and worldly attractions. The Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena will guide you in the exploration of this charming, truly Venetian island, which has been attracting artists, celebrities and lovers of a truly Venetian atmosphere.
Giudecca's name has uncertain origins. An explanation refers to the settlement of a Jewish community, actually the island was never a Jewish ghetto. Instead, Giudecca started life as a fishing village around 500 AD. Soon market gardens followed and during the 19th Century the Industrial Age added shipyards, factories and even a movie studio to the sprawling estates. The result is an island which is both eclectic and romantic.
Giudecca Island is located only a few minutes' drive by Vaporetto from Saint Mark's Square. There are many reasons not to miss out a trip to this island when visiting Venice. One of this is that it provides the most famous and beautiful view over Doge's Palace, Saint Mark's Square, the votive church Santa Maria della Salute and the entrance to the Grand Canal.
The most impressive building on the island is without doubt the "Il Redentore" (Church of the most holy Redemeer). The architect is Andrea Palladio, who began to construct it in the 16th Century. As well as the Church of Santa Maria della Salute, "Il Redentore" is also a votive church that marked the end of a plague epidemic. It dominates the skyline and is the spiritual hub of the island. In addition on Giudecca you can visit the "Sant'Eufemia", one of the oldest churches in Venice that dates back to the 9th Century.
We also suggest to you visiting the showroom and factory of Mariano Fortuny and Mandrazzo for his exquisitely patterned fabrics which are still manufactured using the same machines and secret process of a century ago.
Moreover the third Sunday in July marks the Festa del Redentore, equal parts religious festival, floating picnic and dance party. Watch in awe as the Giudecca Canal becomes a floating dance floor of tethered boats for the midnight fireworks display.
Close to Giudecca there is the as beautiful as small island of St Giorgio Maggiore. Nowadays the island is an internationally known cultural center right in the heart of the Venice's lagoon.
The Cini Foundation runs the island and its main aim is to attract young researchers and intellectuals from all over the world. The St Giorgio Maggiore is a treasure house of architectural works of art by name such as Palladio and Longhena The most famous of these are the cloisters, the Palladian cenacle, the Long Corridor and the Library of Longhena. But there are also examples of great contemporary artists such as Carena, Severini, Sironi and Vedova. The island and the Giorgio Cini Foundation can truly be one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in Italy.

Monday Speedball Tips April 9th 2014
By Cole Scott
Published Tuesday, April 8, 2014.
Speedball is a relatively new sport and is constantly undergoing changes. This constant evolution to the rules and the game is also causing products and equipment to change too.
One of the big changes to equipment is paintball guns. I am not going to go too far into the past however look at an Ego from lets say 2008. It was a very small gun without much room for your hands. Now lets look an an LV1. The gun is much longer that the Ego from 2008.
Most people don\'t believe guns would actually get longer, when in fact they are. Having a longer paintball gun make it easier to snap shoot, lane someone off the break, load and shoot, running and shooting and a bunch of others. As paintball continues to push the limits you will see more and more changes when it comes to equipment.
Remember to understand why equipment is changing and if it is going to benefit how you play in any way. If it doesn\'t benefit you then it might be time to upgrade.
If you have any questions or comments about paintball gun changes, please drop me a line and I would be happy to answer.

text: I have only owned my 1994 eldorado for about a little less than a month. It started strong every time i drove it which was probably only like 15 times.Then one morning got up to go to breakfast and it kinda hsitated just like a little stutter when it started but started up good as usual. But after driving to I-hop and going inside and eating and then coming out about 40 min. later when i turned the key nothing happened just one click and no further noise. I ended up having a tripple A dude jump me and after 2:00 min of charging I tried and it started fine. He commented to me though that I might possibly have a bad solenoid in my starter so i should get it checked out. So i drive home and everything seems cool and i park it. The next day though I go out to start it and the same one click and no further noise. The computer says the battery is at 12.2v and it wont start. So i give up and go inside but about 15 min later go try again and it starts just fine. What i would like is someones opinion on what this on and off starting is all about.

EY: Gin & Tonic drinkers miss out!
20 March 2013
Chris Sanger, global head of tax policy at EY:
"Today's Budget continued the shift in who pays tax in the UK. With the reduction in corporate tax rate and the increased incentive for Research & Development, the proportion of tax raised in corporation tax has dropped from 7.8% of total Government receipts in 2010/11 to 6.4% in 2013/14. VAT and Excise Duties have picked up the slack rising from 22.9% to 24.5%.
"Ultimately all taxes are paid by people, but the changes in the relative tax mix suggests that the UK is moving towards a less distortive tax system with a lower burden of direct taxation."

you are quite welcome
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
When I want to use templates, specially for multisets I use freezer paper and stack several of the indivuals pieces together, being careful not to have shinie sides touching. Then you can separate and use many times.Originally Posted by kluedesigns
Yes Marinemom2J there is if you are PP and you want to print them you select the block go to file print and select foundation pattern. A box will appear and there will be tabs at the top they say Numbering, Section and Option click on option and on the right hand side you will see number of copies and you pick what you want.Originally Posted by Marinemom2J
Sorry I just re-read your question yes to that one as well ahhh
yes when you hit preview in the print box there is an option to delete but it does not always work there seems to be a glitch in the software for that feature but sometimes it does work.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Ok try this instead this worked for me just now.
Select the block ... then after you have selected how many copies and everything you want to do go to the preview page again. use the move button on the top and move the parts you do not want to the right or the left of the page off the printing area and print from that page. That way was the quickest and if you go to print that block again it will go back to the original so no worries about finding where you put the pieces
this works under the template option as well
Thanks Cher :)
right, Christmas is over, I am going to sort my work area out tomorrow and get myself all set up to start on the 4th! By the way I take it the 4th is the start date and not the end of the first week? So excited, I have pledged to do this to all my aunts, cousins etc today at family party and they want to see it finish in two Christmas' time! Oh dear - what have I done. Thanks so much for giving me a reason to go on!
By the way it is the 27th here as I write.
yes, the 4th is the start date.
my intention is to put up the patterns/pics/tutes every wednesday this way the people who will only be sewing on the weekends can have it in time.
for example: i will put everything up for the 4th kickoff on december 30th.
I'm not the best either but I love it and would love to participate. I may have questions
I apologize-tghis is more than I thought. I will try next time after trying some of the blocks

Dinesh D'Souza, a prominent Christian author who has debated the late Christopher Hitchens and other atheists has submitted his resignation as President of The King's College. The school is an evangelical institution that is based in New York City. His resignation was announced by the college board of trustees on Thursday.
The controversy that led up to D'Souza's resignation involves accusations of marital infidelity. D'Souza attended an event in North Carolina this past September that focused Christian values, and brought along with him a woman who was not his wife. The two reportedly shared a hotel room, as well.
Common doctrinal points of view, articles of faith and practices and statements of faith in many of the more conservatice Christian denominations do not allow for divorce. Of those that do, many have rules regarding the the involvement in intimate relationships while either participant is still legally married.
D'Souza had been the President of The King's College since 2010, and it had been confirmed by the Associated Press that he and his wife had been separated for about two years. The controversy surrounding D'Souza's relationship also include the introduction of the woman as his fiance, and the fact that both D'Souza and the woman were both still married.
The Huffington Post reports that college board trustee Andy Mills will take over as interim President, a position he has held twice before. The story reports Mills stated,
"God has a mighty future for Dinesh, but there are some things he has to go through first. I have to admit, I got a bit over-enamored with him."
D'Souza maintains that he did not do anything wrong, and that both individuals had been separated for quite some time from their spouses. He told the AP that he would not have introduced her as his fiance if he had thought they were doing anything wrong. He also maintains that the couple were not sharing a hotel room.

text: So my silverado has a space in the roof console that will fit the control panel for the heat/ac, fan control, etc. I know allot of suburbans, tahoe's, yukons, etc have this setup. So I stopped by the dealer today and asked them what wiring harness I would need to make that move and they had 10 different options. So they took my VIN and called GM and they were even more clueless as to which one to use. I assume I need to get a cable to go from the current location, up the driver side pillar around the window and then above the headliner to the roof console. Anyone have any suggestions, or a Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon from 1999-2003 NBS where they could get me a part number or something. It would be nice to free up that space in the dash for something else.

West End Temple Kids Decorate Sukkah
During the holiday of Sukkoth, Jewish families eat their meals in a open Sukkah, commemorating the time in the Biblical age when Jews wandered in the desert. On Sunday, September 26, children from West End Temple came together to decorate the temple's traditional Sukkah. Sukkoth celebrates the harvest season with traditional meals eaten under the stars. Sukkah's must have at least three sides and the roof must allow the sky to be seen.

Mayor Frank Ortis (D - Pembroke Pines, FL)
In 2005, after 12 years of producing excellent musical theater, financial disaster struck the Pembroke Pines Theater of Performing Arts in the form of Hurricane Wilma. Having just expanded by opening a black box theater, Pembroke Pines Theater had invested tens of thousands of dollars in the opening production only to sell very few tickets due to the storm. It appeared that the theater was about to close when newly elected Mayor Ortis came to the rescue by helping to solidify the support of the city commission and recruit new corporate donors. With this infusion of new energy and public and private dollars, the theater was able to regroup and seven years later, is thriving.
In addition to his support of the theater, Mayor Ortis has been instrumental in the establishment of other arts resources in the city. Completed in 2010 with nearly $1 million in city funds, Studio 18 serves the community by offering art classes and showcasing contemporary art. This 11,000-square-foot creative reuse facility was transformed from a dilapidated state hospital laundry facility into an inviting arts center for both artists and residents of the city.
In the arena of public art, the city's new 9/11 Memorial is located in City Center. It features four steel sculptures by artist Felix Gonzalez, a retired Miami-Dade County firefighter. The memorial was funded in part by private donations to a 9/11 memorial fund, established by the mayor and city commission. Each year, the city underwrites nine free outdoor jazz performances that feature local jazz musicians. The city also hosts the Pembroke Pines Arts Festival, now in its 15th year. This annual outdoor arts celebration features the work of nearly 100 artists and attracts more than 15,000 visitors over a two-day period.

MY wife and my 20-year-old son were transfixed to the TV as I walked in the door Wednesday night. The evening news was quoting a Supreme Court justice. He was responding to arguments by the U.S. government's executive and legislative branches why the Affordable Care Act is constitutional.
I was actually shushed. They wanted to hear the debate.
Fascinating. Invigorating. All the ings times 10.
These last few days have been better than any movie as far as showing democracy in action, American style. The third branch of government strutting its stuff. People waiting five days for a seat in the gallery of the Supreme Court. A landmark law and the Constitution pit one against the other.
All I could add was: "Andy, it's all about the public good." Meaning, the reason for requiring every adult to have health insurance (the individual mandate) is so everyone pays. Now, the 20-30 percent not covered use hospital emergency rooms, etc., and those of us who pay for insurance pay for their care, too. They get off scot free. The health insurance companies raise the rates for the uncovered about $1,000 a year per family, the government argued, so employees pay more out of their paychecks for health insurance, employers pay higher rates for their group plans, etc. I can't tell you how many times I've sat in editorial boards and heard hospital administrators say they are passing on the cost of the uninsured to those who have insurance. Or, they close their doors to trauma patients.
What is a public good?
My youngest, Andy, 20, a junior studying business in college, quoted from his macro-economics lecturer, answering: "A public good is non-rivaled and non-exclusive." It's very good and it's for everybody, in other words.
But Andy went on. "This is more about the volunteer's dilemma," which assumes it costs money to be the volunteer. "If enough people volunteer, than everybody gets the public good. It is only worth it if the benefit gain outweighs the cost," he said, giving credit to his professor at University of California, Irvine, J.T. Carvalho.
In the health care debate, the insured are the volunteers. And the new law says the public good will outweigh the cost as long as everyone volunteers, so to speak. I realize use of the word "volunteers" may sound misleading here. People will have to buy health insurance but at reduced rates. At least, that's the way Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. argued it before the justices.
Just a quick glance at the transcripts can be very enlightening. Tuesday's debate over the individual mandate is apt. Justice Samuel Alito said this is no different than the government "make(ing) people buy broccoli." He also compared it to requiring everyone to buy burial services, since eventually that is something we will all need.
But Verrilli countered that the law is affecting commerce, the buying and selling of health insurance. That is the way Americans pay for health care. This is way different than other markets (like food and caskets). In Alito's examples, you don't have the cost shifting to others, but in health insurance you do.
To me, the better analogy is the state's requirement for every driver to buy car insurance. Again, it's so that we all share in the cost of accidents. Some say, well that's different. One can choose not to drive.
Yes, that's true. If you don't drive (you take the bus or ride the train), you are not contributing to the auto insurance market. For health care, you would have to refrain from going to a doctor or emergency room - unless you paid cash. As Verrilli argues, sometimes you can't make that decision. Sometimes (car accident, stabbing, shooting, hit by lightning, fall off ladder, slip on banana peel, you name it) you will need care and you'll have to pay big time. Unlike driving, you can't avoid being in this market. Hence the need for a health insurance mandate.
Unless you rely on herbal remedies and self-surgery. Is that the way the greatest country of the world is heading? I certainly hope not.

Sad news for music magazine fans … after 10 years as a print mag, it is being reported that Blender magazine will cease publication immediately. Back in 1994, Blender started out as the world's first CD-ROM publication (omg, remember those?) and then in 1997 it went online. In 1999 the magazine launched as a traditional print magazine and has offered, IMHO, some of the most interesting articles and has featured some of the better interviews and photoshoots with the hottest musicians of the day. But, alas, the mag has not been able to weather the failing economic climate and has had to shut down operations:
Alpha Media Group closed Blender magazine today, eliminating about 30 jobs and reducing its portfolio of titles to Maxim alone. The April issue of Blender out now will be its last. The decision, delivered to Blender staff in a meeting this morning, came as part of broader changes that also included the departure of Alpha co-CEO Glenn Rosenbloom and the integration of editorial staff for Maxim and Maxim Digital. The remaining CEO, Stephen Duggan, said in a company memo that the company was closing Blender with great sadness. "Since 2001, Blender has provided unmatched music coverage and entertainment news in its unique voice to a profoundly dedicated audience of music enthusiasts," Mr. Duggan wrote. "We are particularly grateful to the sales team and to the tremendously talented editorial staff for their hard work and commitment to Blender." Joe Levy, who was editor in chief at Blender, was named editor in chief of the combined Maxim editorial operation. Jim Kaminsky, Maxim magazine's editor in chief, is leaving the company. Ben Madden continues as group publisher. Jay Woodruff, editor in chief of Maxim Digital, was named chief content officer at Maxim. After the changes, Alpha will continue to employ 134 staffers … Alpha tried to build Blender's circulation, pushing its paid-circulation guarantee to 1 million from 800,000 at purchase. But copies distributed to public places such as waiting rooms grew the fastest, from 13,000 copies in the second half of 2007 to 100,000 a year later, according to company reports with the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Paid subscriptions fell 8% to 768,000, while newsstand sales declined 18% to 44,233. Ad pages at Blender also plunged 31% last year and another 57% from January through April, according to the Publishers Information Bureau and Media Industry Newsletter. Monthlies as a whole, by comparison, sank 12% last year and another 22% through April. Ad pages at Maxim fell 11% in 2008 and 37% from January through April. Mr. Duggan's memo to staff blamed the global financial crisis but said the company would persevere. "Alpha Media Group is weathering the current economic difficulties, and we are confident that with the changes we are implementing, the company is in the strongest position possible to continue moving forward," he said.
This is really sad news. To be honest, Blender was the only music mag that I really read from cover to cover. Each issue was usually jam packed with great articles and little blurbs that I really enjoyed. Not that it would've made a difference in the long run but had I known the mag was in such dire straits I would've reinstated my subscription. When I lived in Detroit, Blender was one of the mags that I faithfully subscribed to. This is really sad news. I'm not sure if there are many Blender magazine fans out there but this is really sad news for everyone :( Peace the Spork Out, Blender … you will be missed.

The Sims are getting in touch with their feelings.
The fourth edition of Maxis' successful life-simulating game will include more emotional versions of the virtual people whose lives players can manipulate.
The Sims 4 producers said developers had focused on crafting more believable Sims who can perform multiple actions - like walking and talking - at once.
"Over 10 years ago, we created a genre, now we're taking our most revolutionary step forward by focusing on the heart of the franchise, the Sims themselves," said Rachel Franklin, VP and Executive Producer for The Sims 4.
"The magic of The Sims has always come from the combination of the player's creativity and the Sims' free will, and in The Sims 4 we're taking this further by unlocking more possibilities and deeper gameplay opportunities.
"The Sims 4 is the bold leap for the franchise where each Sim now has a rich emotional center that drives meaningful social interactions.
"Our ability to affect the mind, body and heart of these new Sims brings your stories to life in a way that is more personal than ever before."
The sequel also will make it easier for gamers to build homes for their Sims by picking pre-designed rooms and plopping them together to create a house.
The Sims franchise has sold more than 170 million copies worldwide. The Electronic Arts Inc people simulator is the best-selling PC game franchise in history.
The Sims 4 is set to launch in 2014 on PC.
