Attention: Brian Hewson
Mr Hewson, I am writing you under that counsel of the office of David Christopherson MP, whom advises that; you might be able to help me.
At some time last fall a man came to my door and introduced him self as being from Union Gas. He asked if I knew what I was paying per cubic meter. I responded no. He then asked to first verify my information and account number on file. I got a bill for him and he said ok thats great however we dint have an email address or phone number on file for you, which I then gave him. Now this man even had papers sticking out of the bottom of his clip board with the union gas name and logo on it.
I was then told that by signing up with Direct Energy we would save some money. I immediately said to the guy, I thought you said you were from Union Gas? He replied that Union Gas has authorized Direct Energy to sell Natural Gas. At that point I informed him that I was not interested in anything other then what the gas company has, thank you, good bye.
I forgot all about this person, when one day I noticed on my Union Gas bill the name Direct Energy. I called Union Gas, and they told me to call Direct Energy.
Direct Energy told me that I had signed up for a 5 year contract. I then filed a complaint with the Ontario Energy Board. The OEB told me that yes I am right, if I did not sign up that this was not right, however, I was also told that there was no enforcement power and that I would have to contact my lawyer.
The response from Direct Energy was a letter which I have enclosed. I spoke to Amanda Smith who nearly laughed at me on the phone saying that I had signed up on the internet. I explained to her what had happened with the agent, yet her response was, we dont do things like that.
I did not sign up, nor did anyone from this house sign up to Direct Energy. The only person that had that information was the man that came to the door. I asked for something with my signature on it, and all I received was a report saying I had signed up over the internet. I then asked for an IP address to be given, which was not.
Frankly I find this to be very scary! Do we now live in a country where the consumer has to prove that he/she did not sign something? Is the burden of proof under contract law not the vendors responsibility? Any person can go sign me up to something, and that is it?
Mr Hewson I would very much appreciate you assistance. If there is a tribunal that I can go before I will. There has to be a way for me to defend myself against these people without paying a lawyer I would hope.
Dec 18,2009
to this day, no one can help me, not the MP no one. I am thinking of filling at small claim cost of $5000 and let the judg figure it out. I asked this amanda person twice to send me a total amount to get out of there fake contract so that I can sue them for that, then pay them that, yet the figure has never been sent as they are ignoring me now.I am sop fustrated I kinda put it to the back of my mind, when today Dec 18,2009 my Partner called me to tell me that a rep from Direct Energy was at the door, and this person was made because he was told we were not interested in gas electrical contracts, and replacing our hot water heater, the rep said what do you mean your not interested in a loud voice. The point is not the money as much as the point that If DIrect Energy says 1+2 is 4 then that is what it is. Who else is going to start this. What good are rights when they are not enforced, can anyone take your information and sign you up?
Here there are hundreds of other Ontario residence having problems with this company, yet no on can help us.

Miter saw blade ?
What blade do you like ? Please be specific if you can..I've seen many different blades from one name..My saw is 12" .....
For finish work I use a Forrest miter master. I've been using it for about a year and yet to have it chip or splinter my materials. For anything else I'm pretty happy with Oldham.
The one big difference that I see in the different manufacturers are the relief cuts (expansion slots and holes) - in the blades. Some are poorly designed and almost useless.
Here is an article about saw blades:
FWIW - We get our 10" and 12" blades re-sharpened for 1/2 the price, or less, of what it costs to buy new ones. All wood shops re-sharpen their blades. You can get up to 8 resharpenings from a blade. The place we use will replace missing carbide teeth as well. They come back resharpened and better than new - each time.
I'll Second the recommendation for Forrest blades AND for sharpening. Forrest will sharpen the blades for you for a minimal cost.
many places sell them online and they do, sometimes, go on sale. Amazon can have coupons, etc. You wont find them at Homedepot or Lowes I don't think. Woodcraft would stock them if you have one near you.
I don't think the extra cost of the forest blades is worth it for most people as well as the fact that only a small number of the sharpening shops can do it properly. If your a professional who uses there saw all the time than go ahead and buy a top quality blade like the Forest but if not go with CMT or Fraud thin kerf blade because most 12" saw's are under powered.
I luv my Freud 10" Diablos

Mayor issues climate change challenge
London developers could have to meet tough new targets to cut down greenhouse gas emissions, under proposals put forward by the capital's mayor.
Mayor Ken Livingstone wants to force house builders to make all new homes more eco-friendly by forcing them to ensure 20 per cent of properties' energy supplies come from renewable energy.
The proposals will be grafted onto the capital's planning blueprint, the London Plan, which is currently under review.
'London should lead the way in showing the world how one of its greatest cities is planning to meet the challenges of climate change,' Livingstone said.
'We must move our cities away from relying on inefficient centralised heat and power generation, and stop constructing buildings that waste heat and electricity.'
Tony Arbour, chair of the London Assembly's planning and spatial development committee, said the mayor's
proposals would make affordable housing more expensive and scarcer.
But Faraz Baber, director of regeneration and development at the British Property Federation, said the move should be welcomed.
Meanwhile, the mayor's office is investigating the size of housing associations' land banks in a bid to find ways of accelerating the supply of affordable housing, a City Hall report has revealed.
'The Greater London Authority has made initial enquiries relating to the level of land banking among [housing associations],' it stated.
Initial research had revealed that seven of the largest housing associations in London had accrued a land bank with a capacity of 5,000 homes.

Facebook's New App Allows Users to Track Their Household Energy Consumption
In this new app, key features will include a 'Friend Comparison Feature' that will allow users to compare their usage to similar homes across the country as well as energy-saving tips that may help in reducing your monthly bills. Chat rooms will also be set up that will allow users to join in on conversations about home energy. Users will also be able to automatically or manually import data that allows them to track their household energy.
There have been several other attempts at similar energy-tracking apps already by Google and Microsoft, but Facebook is confident that their new app will click. According to Matt Hickman, "Commonwealth Edison (Chicago and environs), the city of Palo Alto, Calif. (natch), and Glendale Water & Power (Los Angeles County) will be the first three utilities to allow a combined total of 4 million customers to seamlessly import energy usage data into the new app when it launches. It's expected that other utility companies will follow."

Backup Camera Mandate Part of National Debate
Tiffany Kaiser
November 25, 2011 11:37 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: dieselpowermag.com)
NHTSA pushes for the mandate to save lives while opponents such as the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers reminds it of costs associated with implementing the rule
New regulations that require automakers to improve rear visibility in all new models by 2014 were proposed in December 2010, and now, the
backup camera rule
is part of the national debate about safety, federal regulations, and jobs.
The backup camera rule would require the installation of backup cameras in all new vehicles by 2014. It was proposed by President Barack Obama, and is a response to the Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Act, which is a 2008 law named after a young boy who was accidentally ran over by his father's car.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 292 people die from back-over accidents per year. By implementing the backup camera rule, half of those lives would be saved annually.
While the backup cameras could clearly be beneficial, the topic is up for debate because opponents say the requirement would be too costly and would result in job losses.
According to an August 30 letter the president sent to House Republican leaders, the backup camera mandate is in the top five list of the five most costly rules under consideration at this time.
The backup camera rule could cost as much as $2.7 billion, and would equate to about $18.5 million per life saved. Adding the cameras to vehicles would tack on an extra $58 to $203 per vehicle.
"Congress built flexibility into this law to balance safety and cost, and unfortunately NHTSA has ignored Congress by mandating an expensive, one-size-fits-all solution for rearview cameras," said Gloria Bergquist, spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
So far, individual automakers have not said anything negative about the rule despite these costs. In fact, Ford plans to have backup cameras in all Ford and Lincoln models by the end of this year.
The backup camera plan calls for 10 percent of the United States' new fleet to meet standards by 2012, 40 percent to meet the standards by 2013, and
all new vehicles to comply by 2014

|Jordanian Il-76MF's tests in Zhukovsky
The first production Ilyushin Il-76MF airlifter built for Jordan by Tashkent Aircraft Production Corp. (TAPC) under the contract landed by Rosoboronexport on 17 August 2005, during the visit of the MAKS 2005 air show by the Jordan King and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Jordanian Armed Forces, His Majesty Adballah ben Al-Hussein II, has been undergoing flight tests at Ilyushin's facility in Zhukovsky, Moscow Region, since November 2010.
As is known, the first Jordan-ordered aircraft (c/n 96-03 issued with temporary registration number 76954 for the duration of the tests) performed its first flight in Tashkent on 30 September last year and then, following several test flights more and painting, was ferried to Zhukovsky on 29 October for installation of additional avionics and extra tests prior to the delivery.
Meanwhile, TAPC is assembling the second plane under the contract (c/n 94-01). In early November 2010, the Perm Engine Company shipped to
"Both planes are expected to be delivered by mid-2011, following the completion of all of the tests", the Perm Engine Company news release reads.

Locally Grown Clothing Co. announces the launch of a new pop-up store in the Shops at Roosevelt in Des Moines. The limited time shop will expand their current product line and offer eco-friendly and Made in the USA clothing brands; not currently available in Iowa. Open Tuesday – Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. from now until early fall at 847 42nd Street, Des Moines. A grand opening event is scheduled for early July (date TBA).
Growing out of the Des Moines Farmer's Market in 2008, owner, Fred Scott saw the increasing demand for locally-produced food and wanted to provide consumers an opportunity to express their pride and support for local agriculture, their community and the environment. Thus, Locally Grown Clothing Co. was officially launched in early 2010.
The message-driven lifestyle brand has since seen considerable growth by expanding into 33 states with more than 200 retail outlets across the country, including specialty outdoor stores, food co-ops, kids boutiques, and is frequently featured at Farmers Markets and NorthernGrade menswear pop-up markets across the country. As the demand for Locally Grown continues to see steady growth, Scott decided to jump on the modern retail trend of the pop-up shop — a successful tactic he's seen in other metros like Minneapolis, New York City and San Francisco.
Pop-up shops offer a unique experience by selling hard-to-find products for a limited time. Scott is bringing this fresh development of pop-up retail to Des Moines, while providing consumers an alternative to mass-produced brands by giving them the opportunity to buy high-quality Made in the USA apparel. Scott also hopes the store will help garner customer feedback to gain a stronger feel for the market and help define the future direction of the brand.
The pop-up shop will introduce new Locally Grown graphic designs, menswear items and expand product offerings. Customers can expect to see all the summer essentials with a throwback vibe featuring eco-friendly and surf brands, Hari Mari and Lightning Bolt, as well products like board shorts, sunglasses, tote bags, and the popular classic Locally Grown t-shirts.
"Locally Grown captures the voice of a movement that embraces the rise of organic products and the renaissance of supporting local," says Scott. "We are thrilled to take this movement to the next level with the pop-up shop and look forward to making more connections in the community as Des Moines gets to know the Locally Grown brand at the pop-up shop."

Financing Long Term Care: Nursing Home Medicaid
The average cost of nursing home care in New York City and the five boroughs is determined by Medicaid to be about $8900 per month. Many nursing homes cost even more than that, depending upon various factors. Medicare benefits do not pay for long term nursing home care, and in fact, Medicare benefits often will not pay for even a short term stay in a nursing home. If Medicare does not cover the nursing home stay, or if Medicare benefits are exhausted, one has several choices- to pay "out of pocket", use long term care insurance if available, to be discharged, or to apply for Medicaid, if eligible. This article will give a brief overview of some of the Medicaid eligibility rules in New York State as they apply to nursing home benefits.
First, let's review the Medicare nursing home coverage which may be available. Medicare is available to individuals over age 65, and certain disabled individuals, regardless of financial status. In order for Medicare to pay some of one's nursing home bill, a consecutive three day hospitalization within thirty days of nursing home admission is required. In addition to the three day qualifier, one needs to meet the "skilled needs" requirement. This means the individual must need the services of a licensed health professional, and have the potential for health improvement within the Medicare guidelines. Once the individual has either stabilized, or is no longer improving, Medicare will stop paying the nursing home bill. Very little notice will be provided, so plans for alternative payment of the nursing home bill should be made well in advance . Even if one meets the Medicare qualifications, Medicare covers a maximum of 100 days- full coverage for the first twenty days, and partial coverage for the next eighty days.
When Medicare no longer covers the nursing home bill- whether it's day one of the nursing home admission, or day five, or one hundred- the nursing home wants to know who will be paying the bill.
Medicaid or Medical Assistance is a "means tested" program, and certain financial eligibility requirements must be met in order to qualify. Individuals can have a maximum of $4000.00 in total assets in order to be eligible. This amount includes all financial assets, including real estate. Even assets that are held jointly with another individual are counted towards the $4000.00 total. The application for nursing home benefits must include thirty six months worth of financial information (sixty months worth for trusts) for the period of time immediately prior to the Medicaid application. This is known as the look back period. All transfers of assets during this look back period must be accounted for in the application. However, the fact that transfers of assets have taken place does not necessarily mean the individual is ineligible for Medicaid. Certain transfers are exempt, or do not count toward eligibility. Enough time may have passed since asset transfers even if they have been made place during the look back period. Any individual who needs nursing home care should consult with an attorney who is familiar with the transfer rules as soon as possible to determine how much, if any, of their assets are or can be protected in the event a Medicaid application is required.
Certain rules apply when the Medicaid applicant owns a home. One can apply for and receive Medicaid when he or she owns a home, however Medicaid can choose to place a lien on the home to be reimbursed once the recipient has passed away, to the extent that Medicaid has paid for the individual's care. It is therefore advisable to transfer the home prior to applying for Medicaid benefits. The home can be transferred to several individuals without penalty- including a spouse, disabled child, minor child, caretaker child who has lived with them for two or more years immediately prior to the nursing home admission, or a sibling who has an equity interest in the home, and has lived with them for one or more years immediately prior to the nursing home admission.
Keep in mind, this is a very brief synopsis of the Medicaid eligibility rules. We have not addressed the rules as they apply to spouses, or how the applicant's income is affected. There is a lot of misinformation regarding the Medicaid eligibility rules, and how they are applied in different situations. While the staff in the hospital or nursing home can be quite helpful, they cannot and should not provide advice regarding asset transfers. If you or a loved one requires nursing home care, even for the short term, an attorney should be consulted as soon as possible to determine the best way to proceed to obtain Medicaid benefits.

Pipelines and Enbridge's record
I write concerning the proposed Sandpiper pipeline Enbridge Energy Partners wants to build across Cass County. Besides answering John Weber's letter's questions about defining progress and who ultimately pays for the proposed line and resulting damage, let's learn about pipelines and Enbridge's record.
Because pipelines are buried, there is damage to soil structure and to land along the line. Although Enbridge claims to have pressure sensors along their pipelines to detect leaks, its pipelines have had about 800 spills since 1999 (National Wildlife, 10/13).
Some were discovered by landowners and others, not Enbridge, including spills in the Cass Lake and Deer River areas. At least one of these caused illness to livestock and the landowner. Marty Cobenais, formerly of the Indigenous Environmental Network, reports five spills on the Leech Lake Reservation with only one cleaned up.
Plans describe a diameter increase from 24 inches to 36 inches at Clearbrook. Coincidentally, Clearbrook is where Tar Sands crude comes down from Canada. Although Enbridge has not explained this increase, it begs the question of whether the proposed line will carry Tar Sands oil. Tar Sands crude's higher levels of toxicity are worrisome in case of spills.
The proposed route will carry oil through Minnesota, improving neither our gas supply or prices. As Cobenais suggests, it could be exported. On its way to Superior, Wis., the Sandpiper would cross the Mississippi in Hubbard County, the Pine River in Cass, farmland, wetlands and woods.
Do we want to risk damage to these, to our water supply, to our health?
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission will hold public meetings, announced in local media, along the proposed route. If you care about land, water and air quality in your back yard, learn about pipelines and Enbridge's record, and attend a meeting to ask questions or make a statement.
Barbara Kaufman,
Pine River

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was in a contract with spring/nextel they said my service area was very good. I kept dropping calls and calling them they finially let be out of my contract providing I return my phone. Great I had a new cell that day called them back and ask where do I send my phone. They replied we are sending you a return package and said I would get a new bill. Well 3 requests for a return package and a new bill later of 503.00 early termination fee. I finally got the big envelope I returned my phone they emailed me they got the phone turned me over to collections and sent me another bill for 503.00. I got harrasing call today and still no new bill. I called and they want me to pay thru Dec even thou my phone was ported over on 11/26/12. Can't get anywhere with them feel I need some help.
Unfortunately I think your options are limited. You can sue them on your own in Small Claims court or hire an attorney to handle the matter.
I provide a free 15 minute telephone consult for security deposit claims and eviction defense. No attorney-client relationship is created by answering questions in this public forum. If you wish to create an attorney-client relationship, you must contact me directly and sign a representation agreement. Answers are provided based on general ideas and an answer specific to your situation would require a review of all documents.Ask a similar question
Here's your problem. You signed a contract that likely makes you liable for their "reasonable" (or unreasonable) charge. You can go the lawyer route but not the small claims route yet because you haven't been sued (small claims courts cannot issue declaratory judgments).
Start the letter writing campaign to the company. Send a complaint to the BBB and the State of Florida Consumers Affairs people (I believe the Ag Dept. check the web). Make phone calls and write down the names of everyone you speak to and their response (include date and time). Write back to the collection agency and dispute the claim (again, the web is a wonderful resource for form letters and process). In short, any lawyer will cost you $500 at least to crank up the engines of war.
Try to play the consumer card. Don't give up and become a thorn in their side.
This is not legal advice. Think of this as what you would recieve from a wise uncle. And remember, you have never believed everything your uncle told you either. With free advice you generally get what you pay for.Ask a similar question
Try to speak with a manager and see if you can get this amount waived or drastically reduced as much as possible. If that does not work, follow the advice of the other lawyers. Good luck!Ask a similar question
The biggest issue in your facts is the documentation that in November you were told no ETF fees as long as you returned the phone. You may have fallen into the old" I called them lots of times but couldnt get an RA number and envelope" issue where there is no documentation for your calls. You should immediately get a call listing from your phone service showing the LD calls or if on a cell the existence of the calls made to prove you called. Otherwise you get stuck with the argument that they keep billing until you return the phone and they make it look like delay was YOUR fault. Also check to see what current bill claim is now as the last transaction may have crossed over and a later posting may have given you credi for the phone return etc.
If its CLEAR they are charging you for services that should not be billed, you should look at the Fla. Stat 559 FCCPA as it may afford you a remedy for any wrongful collections effort.Ask a similar question

Boxing News
Jhonny Gonzalez wants that extra 100K
By Gabriel F. Cordero
WBC featherweight world champion Jhonny Gonzalez conducted his final workout before hundreds of fans and members of the international press Wednesday afternoon in the lobby of the MGM Hotel. Gonzalez looked strong, fast and accurate for his fight against former WBO world champion Daniel Ponce De Leon. Golden Boy is bringing back "prizefighting" by awarding a $100,000 bonus to the fighter who registers the best knockout of the night and Gonzalez has made no secret that he's looking to collect. "This will be a great September 15 for Mexico and boxing fans. I'm motivated and focused for the moment and hope to be winner of the "Knockout King" on this great boxing night," said Gonzalez.

One of the most powerful discoveries I have made in ministry is that size matters. It matters greatly. Over 20 years ago I stumbled onto groups of three or four (triads/quads) as the most effective way to create a transparent, reproducing, relational environment for transformation into Christlikeness.
Transformation is result of a combination of at least three factors.
When you consider the above ingredients, they require a setting where deep trust can lead to openness; there is considerable opportunity to share insight and application of God's word; and where you are known in your shortcomings and are loved beyond them. In my experience this does not happen once you get five or more people in a small group. It can and does happen in the dynamic interchange of these smaller, reproducible units.
Then add to discipleship the vital ingredient of multiplication, you will find that the traditional one-to-one understanding of disciple-making generally has had a fatal flaw. The traditional one-to-one discipling relationship in my experience creates a hierarchical teacher-student relationship that leads to dependency which inhibits multiplication. On the other hand, triads/quads create a relational peer environment of mutual exchange that puts everyone on a similar level. Put a transferable curriculum into the relational environment and then you have the components for empowering disciples to become disciplers.
This site is dedicated to the promotion of the power of triads/quads.

Once known for her picture-perfect curves and lithe figure, Shilpa Shetty Kundra is happy flaunting her mummy fat these days. The actor, who gave birth to son Viaan in May this year, says she is in no hurry to lose post-delivery weight.
"My son is my priority at the moment and I can only give him my 100% ... weight has never been an issue ... in fact, I haven't even started losing weight. Aur weight ka kya hai … aaj hai kal nahi hoga," says Shilpa, adding, "Actors are constantly scrutinised for our looks. But we are humans too. If people want to be judgmental about us, they can."
Being a mother, Shilpa says, is the best role she has ever played. Interestingly, her trip to Delhi on Tuesday — which lasted just a few hours — was the first without her baby, and had her taking a flight for the first time in eight months.
"Earlier, I used to get irritated when I was required to take an early morning flight. But now, I automatically get up at five in the morning. Viaan has brought many changes in me, and they're beautiful."

"Homelessness can be the start of a new chapter in a family's life instead of the continuation of a bleak cycle of poverty. As a community, we should never give up on those that are struggling. A hand up may be all that a family needs to start over and become 'givers' rather than 'takers'."
–Robyn Davis, Freedom House President
"We're so glad you're here!"
That's the first line we share with people when they call or stop by Freedom House.
Chances are someone in your neighborhood or circle of friends is one of the multitudes living paycheck to paycheck, unable to overcome any unexpected turn of events – or maybe it's you. Freedom House is here to help. We're the only shelter in Brown County providing assistance to all types of homeless families with children – single Moms, single Dads or couples, no matter how many kids they have or how old they are. WAY more than "3 hots and a cot," we change lives – and 92% of the people who come through our doors never return to homelessness.

patio cover materials and methods
Hello All,
I've just moved in to my first house and am lining up all the little projects that need to be done. There are a few I hadn't anticipated! One is the ugly patio cover. It is fifty by twelve feet simple post and rafter. The rafters were, it seems, properly attached to the house and are angled so that water runs down and doesn't pool. Flashing was applied from the roof to the rafters, so there's no water leaking there. But the cover is simple unpainted plywood on one half and old two by two's with four inch gaps on the other. The plywood side is very sloppily covered with roofing tiles and neither the roof or the patio cover has a gutter. So, the first time it rained last week, I got asphalt roofing tile material all over the ground and cement. The plywood is ugly, but I do need some kind of cover.
I've seen the polycarbonate sheets that are supposed to block UV. I think they would be just right. I've got some carpentry skills, but I have no idea how to get the stuff up there CORRECTLY. It doesn't look sturdy enough to crawl around on and I know it has to be caulked and screwed down. I also am sure I need to put the matching plastic flashing from the roof to the patio cover. The only way I can figure to do that is to crawl up on the patio cover.
Won't it break? If I lay a piece of plywood across it, will that protect it sufficiently?
As long as I'm up there, I'd like to put in a gutter system of some kind. Ideally, the water would go down one of the posts and end up in a rain barrel. I know how to do this on a normal structure, but I'm not sure how to attach a gutter to a roof of polycarbonate.
I've been all over online looking for good instructions. The big box store guys were happy to sell me the stuff but didn't know how to put it up there, so I didn't buy it. Are there better products out there? Ideas? I need to protect the area from rain, and I'd like to let the sunlight in as well.
Post a picture of what you have now.
pictures of current patio cover
3 Attachment(s)
It took a while to get these. My camera battery was out of juice. :) I'm working on the walls and stuff so things are a bit of a mess.
The roof slants very very slightly. I think (hope!) it's enough to let the water run off.
Home Depot carries the Suntuf polycarbonate sheets I'm looking at. They are 26 inches wide and ten feet long. I think one sheet would cover one area rafter to rafter, so I might be able to reach across the sheet to power screw the sheets in as I go. I'd have to bridge the section between the roof and the house. They make a product that is supposed to do that, but it gets lousy reviews so I'm not sure it's the way to go. And I would HAVE to climb up on the polycarbonate to do that.
I can't figure out the best way to put a gutter system in, either.
Any ideas would be helpful.
I'm disinclined to pull the whole structure down at this time. The house inspector pronounced the pillars and rafters 'sound' so I'm looking for a slightly more aesthetic covering. The patio cement is severely pitted, obviously from rain, so a roof is going to be necessary by the time the rains start, this winter.
Re: patio cover materials and methods
There is a video overview of how to install Suntuf panels available on youtube just search suntuf installation video.
Re: patio cover materials and methods
What I know about plastic roofing, such as corrugated, is that it becomes a drum under a hard rain. Very annoying some seasons. I would use cold adhesive modified roll roof and search how to flash between roll roof and shingle roof.

What size beam and how thick? A picture closer would help, as would the State you live in...
Re: patio cover materials and methods
I have used a lot od Suntuff and it's a good product.I get mine from a commercial supplier so imagine it's a bit heavier (thicker ) than what the box stores have.The panels are 39" wide and span 36" whan lapped.You do need to proper structure running each directions and the proper closures for the product.
Re: patio cover materials and methods
Just to give a little more info.I have used this for light panels in pole barns with trusses and purlins and I have used it in sunrooms with rafters and cross bracing.
No .you can walk on it but it is sturdier than you think.We start at one end and use ladders or walk boards to work to the far end .I have also worked off the top of it off a sheet of plywood with not problems.

A drugged driver who hit a 10-year-old schoolboy during a cycle safety lesson and broke his leg has been convicted today and ordered by a judge to buy the boy a new bike.
Christine Ann Green, 48, struck Ford Fribbens outside his Christchurch school after swerving suddenly while driving with tetrahydrocannabinol - the active ingredient in cannabis - and sleeping pills in her system.
A group of classmates from Halswell School watched in horror, as the youngster was hit from behind on May 22 as he stood astride his bike at the road's edge.
Today, Green, a cleaner from Riccarton, appeared at the Christchurch District Court to plead guilty to a charge of driving and causing an injury while her blood contained a controlled drug.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Paul Scott said Green failed a compulsory impairment test after the incident and she gave no explanation to police for causing the smash.
Today, a duty solicitor acting for Green argued that since she had smoked cannabis three days before the crash, medication for depression and a sleeping pill the night before were more likely to blame for the collision. She was "very remorseful and upset", the lawyer said.
A victim impact statement by the boy's mother said the accident had a "significant" emotional and physical impact on the boy, but there appeared to be no long-lasting effects.
Judge Phillip Moran told Green in the dock: "You must be absolutely mortified by what you did and the consequences of it. To this day you probably don't know what caused you to swerve into this kid."
She shook her head.
The judge stressed that just because there were drugs in her system, it didn't necessarily mean it was the reason for her actions.
He also applauded her for pleading guilty, saying it "takes courage" to take responsibility for actions.
Green was ordered to pay $580 in reparation for the youngster to buy a new bike, along with $500 to his mother for emotional harm, at a rate of $40 per week. She was also sentenced to carry out 120 hours of community work.


text: Stitchingpost. I guessed who the PI was. She found out the scoop for me. It was kinda funny she found it out so fast and was chatting with about it that I had a hard time keeping up so I could write it down. I think she has a knack for the lurking and prying. She should definitely make a business out of it.LOL

Instances of workplace and school violence are at all time highs, and the need for workplace security has never been greater. To protect employees and facilities, organizations of all sizes and industries incorporate visitor management systems into their security strategies.
A visitor management system tracks the visitors to your building and creates an ID card for the visitor to wear while in the building. The increased security measures put employees more at ease with their working environment, leading them to be more productive.
Organizations of all sizes and industries can easily and affordably implement a visitor management system to monitor visitor traffic in their facility by selecting an appropriate system and making minor facility and policy changes. Follow our seven steps to implement visitor management easily!
1. Select a visitor management system. It's important that the system include individual visitor ID cards and create a record of facility visitors. Most visitor management systems have refills, so your options are not limited by visitor volume.
2. Implement access control. To control visitor access to your building, limit the number of public entrances. After determining your public entrance, make sure all other doors are locked. Employees can use HID cards to enter the building from those other entrances while visitors are forced to use the main public entrance.
3. Determine a location for the visitor management system. Position the visitor log-in at an entrance near visitor parking or in the main lobby. Train your gatekeeper, the individual at the entrance, to administer the visitor management system. You may want to use a receptionist or security guard to sign-in visitors and hand out visitor ID cards.
4. Train employees. Inform your employees that a visitor management system is a precaution you take to ensure their safety. Train employees how to use the system, so they can fully understand the procedure. Encourage employees to make visitors aware of the new system ahead of time for a smoother transition.
5. Explain the policy to visitors. Make visitors aware of your new visitor management policy by posting signs on entrances. The signs should direct visitors to log-in at a reception desk. If you have a large number of regular visitors, you may want to create a more permanent visitor ID card for them with a preprinted visitor card.
6. Have visitors check out. With a visitor management system, it's equally important to know when visitors enter and exit your building. Require visitors to stop by the reception after their visit is complete to turn in their visitor card and check out. Adding this procedure to your policy will give you a complete knowledge of who is in the building.
7. Increased security procedures. Depending on your organization, you may want to add increased security procedures to your visitor management policy. Require visitors to show identification when they sign in at your building to confirm their identity. You may also require visitors to be escorted in the building by an employee. This is a great way to make sure everyone in the building is accounted for.

During the summer in Michigan, things tend to be a little more relaxed around the office. After all, we only have about three months of beautiful weather to enjoy our local lakes, parks, and beaches. However, a more relaxed work environment shouldn't lead to relaxed visitor identification practices.
Visitor identification is important year round. Schools are a great example of maintaining diligent visitor management practices. Most schools require all visitors to register at the main office before entering the building. Even though students aren't at the school during summer months, schools still keep their visitor identification system active.
Visitor identification protects staff, students and employees from unwanted visitors and can prevent theft and vandalism. Most programs are incredibly easy to use and provide the visitor with an ID to wear. This makes it easy to know who has properly registered as a visitor.
There are several different visitor identification options available, and choosing the right system depends on your organization's building and amount of visitors.
Small organizations that experience few visitors can implement a simple visitor PVC ID card system. Visitors wear a specific visitor ID when they are in the building. They can write their name on the card or wear a standard visitor badge with visitor lanyard. This system gives employees a visual indicator that a visitor is in the building.
Large organizations that have a lot of visitors on a regular basis find it helpful to keep a record of visitors. A record equips you with the knowledge of who is in your building at any given time. Visitor log-in systems are easy to use. A visitor simply provides some information upon his arrival. The registration process creates a personal name badge for the visitor to wear and makes a record of the visit at the same time.
If you're interested in a more sophisticated visitor identification program, Visitor Express Software is for you. The visitor identification software allows you to create a visitor badge template, enter the visitor's information on the spot, and print badges as needed.
Regardless of your organization's size, maintaining a visitor identification program keeps everyone safer.

Beach 87 Street Skate Share Fundraiser A Success
A few weeks ago, the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance hosted an exhibition of photography by local youth in order to raise money for a skate share on Beach 87 Street.
The funds raised that night covered the cost of the prints, exhibition books, boards and helmets for the 10 kids in the skateshare program. In the end the kids were all able to have a board of their own and can now take to the streets anytime.
"RWA wanted to say a special thanks to everyone who helped. Local residents jumped in to help offered including tshirts, beachwear and designer sunglasses. Steve Strathis, owner of Boarders, donated skateboards, helmets and tee shirts for the kids. Mark Parish, who skated professionally donated a bunch of wheels and decks for the kids to build their own boards. Artist Ricardo Cortes also donated multiple skate decks with his designs on them. The community really show - ed it's true colors and came out to support the kids", said Jeanne DuPont, Executive Director of Rockaway Wa - ter front Alliance.
Beth Perkins who led the project commented that at the start of the project one of the kids discounted how effective the project would be using disposable cameras and questioned the project would benefit the block. But at the end of the day of photographing, one of the students turned to her and said, "You know what. It doesn't matter if the photos turn out because today was like a field trip. It one of the best days I had this summer and was really fun."
"To me the event was bigger than the kids getting skateboards, it was a community that came together for a great cause and bringing together people from many different backgrounds and interests who would normally not hang out together to celebrate and have fun together", said Beth Perkins.
"The other thing about skateboarding is that I often see kids that skate hanging out outside the stores who are white kids from the west end and black kids from the east end and ironically none of that seems to matter in a neighborhood like this where there's been a long history of racial tension. Skateboarding is a medium that surpasses all of that for these kids".
Rockaway Waterfront Alliance and the kids on Beach 87 Street are grateful to everyone who supported the Beach 87 Street skateshare project and hope to encourage more outreach in the local community.

Working Lives: A documentary series on Human Trafficking
14 May 2010.- Around the world millions of people, including many children, are being forced into work, sacrificing their freedom and lives to unscrupulous traffickers.
The special series 'Working Lives' investigates one of the world's fastest growing crimes - human trafficking, and reveals an alternative economy where the poorest and most vulnerable are trapped and exploited. UN.GIFT contributed to the work of the End Human Trafficking Now Campaign! in the development of 'Working Lives'.
From the buildings we live in, to the clothes we wear and the food we eat, the series will show just how much is made for us by modern day slaves. It looks at the supply chain and shows what it's like to be caught in the worst economic trap of all.
You'll be surprised to find out just how close you are to someone whose working life counts for nothing.
The first episode on Cross Border Trafficking airs this week-end on BBC World News.

Archibald & Jamelia: Maluji's Master Scheme
Book by: Idgo
Status: Finished
Genre: Science Fiction
Chapter9 (v.1) - A Meeting With the Mayor
Melvin Mayonnaise was the plump mayor of Cambitsville. He wore a tweed suit with a beige tartan pattern on it, and his black shoes were slightly dusty, and didn't shine. Thin rimmed glasses in the shape of half-moons were perched upon his splodgy nose and his blonde thinning hair was combed neatly. He was scribbling away at an important document with his sausage fingers when his secretary burst in.
"Lord Mayor! Lord Mayor!" she called, hurrying forwards on extremely high heeled shoes. Her name was Martina Belcher, and she was a cat person...quite literally. She had the button nose and whiskers of a feline, and from her bright red hair two cat ears poked out. Her eyes were a bright yellow that seemed to glow, both in the dark and when it was light. Her body was covered in a thin layer of dark grey fur. From the back of her tight trousers an extra hole was cut to make room for her long, bushy tail which curled up behind her like a furry snake.
"What the...Martina? What is this ruckuss about?" exclaimed the mayor.
"There's an angry vampire that wants to complain to you!" Martina Belcher trilled, checking her tomato-red hair to make sure it was still in a tight bun on the back of her head.
"Angry vampire...son of a bean!" hissed Mayonnaise, his eyes widening in fear. "Then call security! I don't have time to-"
"I did call security," explained Martina. "He just ignored them. I believe the 'no man-handling' policy isn't as effective as we thought it would be-"
Martina was cut off in mid-sentence when Archibald stormed into the office and shoved her aside, with Jessabelle skipping behind him, humming a cheery nursery-rhyme.
"Um...uh..." stammered Mayonnaise. He couldn't keep his eyes off the horrible glare from the mysterious vampire; the enraged red eyes, the bared fangs as sharp as a wolf's, the way he leaned in close to the mayor's face. "What, um...what is the problem?" asked the mayor in a barely audible whisper, and slowly he lifted his hands up to protect himself from what may come next.
"If you really must know," snapped Archibald, "I crashed my brand new ship here yesterday and the engines are broken so I came to find new ones but nobody even understands the concept of mechanics except for one guy who lives in the clock tower and is an absolute loony and then there was an inn that didn't even clean up after the customers and my servant disappeared last night and it's far too sunny for my liking," shouted Archibald. "And she won't leave me alone!" he added, gesturing towards Jessabelle who smiled politely to the mayor.
It took a while for Mayonnaise to comprehend what he was just told, until Martina Belcher whispered something into his ear, and the mayor replied, "Sorry, but I'm not responsible for tourists."
Archibald felt a searing hot anger bubble up inside him. "What in the name of Harlacus makes you think I'm a flooping tourist?!" he bellowed. "You're the MAYOR! You must do something to repair my ship! At LEAST get my servant back for me, I haven't the faintest idea on Nonotron where the bean he could be!!" The mayor didn't seem to be interested anymore though, and was whispering something to Martina, and she whispered something back. This carried on for a while until Archibald sighed and said, "I can pay you."
Instantly the two of them looked at him with great interest. "Really? Hm...how much?"
Archibald reached into his pocket and took out a few bank notes. "Um...one, two...two thousand pounds?" he queeried. Both the cat woman and the mayor's jaws dropped like anchors. "No?" Archibald said, mistaking their reaction as a decline. "How about five thousand? I can't go more than eight thousand, though."
"No!" gasped the mayor. "No, no, sir, that's fine, um...we'll, uh, we'll assist you in any way we...um, we can..." Mayonnaise trailed off, he was still gawping at the wad of cash Archibald was holding. "Yes. We'll help you in any way we can."

September 2010
ALLAN just became a father!
His Jenny brought their son into the world on July 28th at 5:23 AM.
Baby William was 49 centimeters long and weighed 2.98 kilograms!
Since then, he's been drinking every 3 hours – and is growing, and growing, and growing…
Even at this period when the nights are too short for his parents, they've never been happier.
We all cordially congratulate the proud parents – and Baby William most of all!
Our BATHROOMS shine a lot like the summer sun
During the summer months we've thought of what it is we could still make more pleasant for you.
Many bathrooms were modernized with new laminated coatings and with their new radiance can now easily keep up with the last of the sun's rays. For the bathroom floors, we've thought of something really special: elegant flooring that brings to mind the Italian "Terrazo" and through its unique surface is absolutely non-slippery and skid-proof.
Best try it out for yourself now.
POSITIVE-MINDED YOUTH – they're still around!
This summer we're getting help from four young individuals:
Jonah (24 y/o) in Kitchen and Service, Swansita (20 y/o), apprentice in all areas, Stefan (19 y/o) and Armin (18 y/o), both in maintenance and guest service.
All FOUR are uncannily diligent, work "like pros", are pleasant, capable, and reliable.
Our guests appreciate "the four"; we're all just happy to have them.
It's nice to know that such positive-minded youngsters are still around!
Current HAPPENINGS / EVENTS in Vienna in Summer 2010
Interested in music, theater, the opera, museums, or exhibitions?
We'll be happy to keep you informed about all the dates / schedules and perhaps even let you in on a few secrets too…
Frida Kahlo Retrospective
From September to December, Frida Kahlo's work will be on display for the first time in Vienna. The Bank Austria Kunstforum is showing a retrospective of the Mexican artist.
The exhibit is unique: never have so many of Frida Kahlo's works been on display in Vienna. The Bank Austria Kunstforum is showing 60 paintings and 90 works on paper, tracing the career of this exceptional artist, who died in 1954. - From the first self-portraits, which recall the figurative ideals of Renaissance painting, to the images tending toward surrealism, to her expressionistic self-portraits. The exhibit will be complemented by documentary photographic material from Frida Kahlo's grandniece.
Frida Kahlo's works were officially recognized in Mexico as a "national cultural treasure". In 2002, Hollywood depicted her life in a film starring Salma Hayek in the lead role, who received an Oscar nomination. The painter's fate has always been touching and fascinating; throughout her entire life, she suffered from the aftermath of a terrible bus accident. Frida Kahlo's works, which only consist of 143 images (of which 55 are self-portraits), remain impressive to this day.

His collaborations with Keith Haring, to whom a special exhibition is dedicated in Hall 2, and Andy Warhol are also part of the exhibition.

Videos, installations and sound works round off the program.
The monothematic exhibition "Keith Haring 1978 - 1982" can be marveled at from 28 May to 19 September.

A Thread where we post (a) our complaints/ problems with the character's current development, (b) our solutions to the problem and/or (c) praise for the current run...all as if addressed to Higgins himself. Include story arcs, story skeletons...or even just ideas that you would like to see. I sorta doubt he will ever see them but, with a site as popular as comicvine and with a thread name like this (someone could even refer him to it on his twitter account) you never know!
Rules: Keep comments respectful...remember, I'm sure he's doing his best on this book. Support your ideas with thoughtful reasoning. Keep in mind what he has to work with (i.e. New 52 DG characterization, other character's behavior in current continuity, etc).
P.S. I know he doesn't single handedly have the power to change the whole direction of DG...but maybe he will get an idea of what we like, what we don't and what he is doing well from this. Some of those ideas or themes might show up someday. Plus, I just want to see the cool Nightwing ideas folks have
P.P.S. Is there a thread like this somewhere already? 0_0 Hope not

Unfortunately despite being the first story for the Second Doctor and thus a rather pivotal moment in Doctor Who history, The Power of the Daleks is a story which is almost entirely missing from the BBC archives. Which does make it rather difficult to watch, never mind review.
Some years ago (okay it was probably more like a couple of decades) I listened to the audio version which was a combination of the tv episode sound track and narrated by Tom Baker and it seemed to be to be a really strong story. Though let's be honest Tom Baker's narration can make anything sound good.
This time round I watched a reconstructed version that consisted of the episode sound tracks, narration by Anneke Willis (Polly in the story) and a collection of film snippets and set photos timed to the audio. It was remarkably effective and despite never having seen the story as intended I feel comfortable saying that this is one of the Dalek's strongest outings in the show.
This being the first time the Doctor has ever regenerated (or renewed as he refers to it here) a fair amount of time in the first episode is taken up addressing his companions confusion. I really enjoyed this bit and the little references to previous William Hartnell stories. It doesn't take long for Patrick Troughton to come into his own in the role and for my money this story marks the arrival of The Doctor as we will know him for the rest of the show's lifespan.
I think one of the reasons this story works so well is that it uses the Daleks as a way to spotlight the failings of the human characters in the story. Daleks are in effect a relatively one-note villain which is why their appearances get get rather samey after a while. Here the Daleks are the trigger of change in the balance of power, but they merely enable what various people already wanted to do. Similarly here the Doctor, while much more willing to become involved than the first Doctor ever was, essentially works in the background triggering reactions from other people.
Is it a coincidence then that this is the first Dalek story not written by their creator Terry Nation? I suspect not.
As a result, and unlike many 6 part stories, this one doesn't over-stay it's welcome. There are so many characters and plot elements that even with both Polly and Ben having a "vacation episode" things keep moving forward at a steady pace.
Admittedly it is obvious even from the stills and limited film footage that Doctor Who was having it's usual budget problems. The army of Daleks very obviously consists of three plus some cardboard cutouts. Eh… they did what they could.
One thing that struck me on watching this version (which I didn't get from the purely audio version) is the extent to which the more recent Victory of the Daleks was paying homage with its scenes of Dalek's serving Winston Churchill. They even use the line "I am your servant". A lovely little nod to the past that doesn't get in the way of the current episode.
As far as I'm concerned this is a must watch Doctor Who episode if you have any interest in the classic series at all.
