4-H PREVIEW: It's back — Truck and Tractor Pull
GREENVILLE — Roaring engines, screaming tires and waves of acrid black smoke will all be a part of the show when the Michigan Truck and Tractor Pullers (MTTP) come to the Montcalm County 4-H Fair on Wednesday, June 26.
The show, which starts at 7 p.m., will feature everything from farm stock tractors to super stock modified tractors. It will also have street diesel pick-ups from street diesels to pro stock diesel pick-ups.
"We are an all-volunteer-run organization that puts on pulls, mostly in the West Michigan area," said Sam Derks, vice president of MTTP. "We really encourage area farmers and local people to participate."
Many times, he said, the organization will get a couple of guys who make a bet on whose truck can pull more.
"We tell them to bring 'em in and hook 'em up; we'll find out which one's better at pulling," Derks said.
It's been a while since the fair has showcased a modified truck and tractor pull, according to Sam Haglund, chairperson of the grandstand committee.
"We stopped hosting them at the old fairgrounds because the grand stand track was too short and too small. With the new grounds we have a lot more room to put on an event like this."
The new, bigger fairgrounds is now allowing fair organizers to add more new events and, in this case, returning some traditional ones.
"We're really excited to be able to bring modified tractor pulling back to the fair," said Mike McGonigal, fair board president. "We've been getting requests for this since we moved out here to the new grounds."
While it would have been preferable to schedule the pull for the weekend, Derks said the fairgrounds get quite a large turnout on week nights, too.
"I don't know why that is, but our week night events have almost as many pullers turn out as the ones on the weekend," Derks said. "We have some guys who are crazy for pulling and some local guys figure they might have a better chance in the stock classes during the week."
"Spectators don't need to worry," he added. "We always have a good show and some exciting pulls at our events."
Those interested in entering one of the classes at the Michigan Truck and Track Pullers event at Montcalm County 4-H Fair can check out the rules and specifications on the MTTP's website, www.mttpull.com.

Ok well today I decided to clean the throttle body so decided to do a DIY. Also this is on a VR6 engine.
1) take off the air filter, I have the Neuspeed P-flow so this might different for some.
2)Then with the p-flow there will be another bolt screwed into your bay
3) take off the connection on the MAF, it'll have a little clip, you can take it off with either your finger or a screw driver
4)Then after you have taken off that connection, with a screw driver take off the clip or whatever want to call it, from the end of the intake hose connected to the MAF
5) Before you start pulling out the heat shield make sure to take off the Hose connected under it, it'll have a clip that you have to squeeze together and it'll come right off.
6)Right beside the Intake hose there will another little connector, once again you can take it off with either your finger or a screw driver.
7) Then You will have to take off 2 hoses, they will be located by where you pour the oil, one of them which you can see as labeled as #1, there will be a clip you can take off with some pliers, mine doesn't have it but its suppose to. The other one, which is labeled as #2, is a bigger hose and has a clip you have to squeeze together and it'll come right off.
Now on top of the intake hose right beside the throttle body, you will have another little connecter, take it off the same way you did with the other one beside the intake hose before.
9)Now once all the hoses and connectors have been removed, and also in this next picture you will see a better picture of where the connector is I was talking about on the previous step, Anyways, next you have to take off the clip holding the other side of the intake hose to the throttle body, you will need some pliers, Make sure you don't let go of it as you slide the intake hose out, that clip will jump out and its a PITA to put it back on due to its hard to compress.
10)Now you will have 4 screws that you will need some Hex keys, it'll need a 5mm one. Also on the bottom left there will be a small wire connected to it. it looks like its to grab some ground for something. You can see that wire on the second picture.
11) Once you are about to fully take off the last of the bolts, make sure to Grab the throttle body, due to it will just fall down,and you don't want that.
12) now that its off, get your carb cleaner, and a clean cloth and clean it out. should be able to clean something like this. I myself didn't use the carb cleaner, so I just had a clean cloth and rubbed everything off as best as I could so it might still look a lil dirty but not much..
13) Now just follow the steps backwards and you are done, finished, Hope this helps everyone.

Being Yourself is the Best Free Online Dating Tip for guys Around
Heading to anonymity of the internet for your next date has its appeal and perhaps one of the best things about it is that you can follow the best free online dating tip around – being yourself. You may run across on line dating tips through various dating websites you breeze through that talk about what to say and how to create a profile. However, being yourself is perhaps the truest and finite statement you can make about the online dating scene.
Slow down Big Boy
It is vital that you take the time to not only fill out your profile based upon who you are, but that you also think about the type of person you are looking to attract. This excellent dating tips for guys will keep you from making a major blunder on the dating sites that so many men make.
This very important free dating tip for men is all about being real. It is really crucial that when you go onto a dating site that you include an excellent photo of yourself. Make sure this is a real photo and also one that is attractive, but also natural. Don't waste your time putting up a fake picture or one that is showing off a part of you that is not really you. This is a common mistake many make. Don't follow the herd on this one.|
Be Unique and A Leader
While being true to your self is the best free online dating tip around, there are others to consider as well such as challenging others to be true to themselves. When you write your profile, be honest in what you look for and challenge others to be honest too. Too many people often settle when they can hold on for something spectacular and if that is honestly expressed, you would be surprised at how many more responses this garners.
People head to the internet for online dating for a number of reasons such as no time to meet new people or simply to explore new horizons in love. Being open to new experiences is another free online dating tip to consider. A person's interests, passions in life and overall principles counts for a lot but what if that person does not fit into your particular parameters physically or they come from a different culture or background? Just think of a spectacular person you might miss meeting because you were not open minded enough to correspond or meet with them.
Letting go of preconceived notions is a great free online dating tip to follow as it challenges you to be a better person and opens up your world to new possibilities. After all, isn't online dating about opening your small part of the world and letting in something new and different?

Mademoiselle Dimanche is a small French company created by Mathilde Alexandre.
Mathilde creates a fresh collection of home accessories based on the colorful fabrics she designs and which are printed in France. She draws her inspiration from the Scandinavian or Japanese aesthetic or from the design of the 30's through the 50's. The fabrics can either be purchased as such or are declined in cushions of various sizes, in lampshades and lamps, as well as in a few accessories like shopping bags. I particullarly like the collection Entrelacs and Mosaïques which would work wonders on vintage furniture as well as in children's rooms.
She also works with a collective of designers 4 au carré to offer made to measure designs to designers and architects working on projects or even to individuals in search of something unique.
I hope you love them as much as I do. Have a lovely week dear readers.

Clojure Update Literacy
I want to write briefly (ok, not that briefly) about my understanding of Clojure's various "update" functions, in other words, functions that take a function argument, apply it to some value and do something with the result. These include
vary-meta, and probably several more. From here on out, I'll call a function in this family an update function and the function passed to it a transform function.
Note that update functions are most commonly encountered when using Clojure's reference types, i.e. vars, refs, atoms, and agents. Their signatures are all very consistent:
(<update-fn> old-state <tranform-fn> & args) ;=> new-state
That they're so consistent is a testament to the thought that has gone into the design of Clojure's core API.
Nonetheless, a newcomer to Clojure, overwhelmed by all the other new concepts they're learning, might find update functions a little confusing. They might find themselves calling
reset! a lot because
swap! is scary. Of course, if the value passed to
reset! (or
ref-set) depends on the previous value of the ref, you've thrown away all the nice concurrency guarantees that atoms and refs are supposed to give you. For example, the prototypical id generator:
; BADBAD Don't do this! (defn id-generator [] (let [id (atom 0)] (fn [] (reset! id (inc @id)))))
Of course, everyone knows to use
(swap! id inc) for a canonical example like this, but in the thick of a larger app, feeling like you're in over your head, it's easier to make mistakes.
So, learning to read (and write) an update function can take you a long way along the road toward writing more idiomatic Clojure. For someone with an OO background, it might be easier if we mentally re-wrote the signature above like this:
state = transform_fn(state, arg0, arg1, ...);
that is, we're applying some transformation to the current value of
state and storing the value back in
state. See,
swap! and friends are just a function call in disguise. Their signatures are completely consistent with Clojure's argument order conventions, but they slightly obscure what's going on because the state and transform function are switched. This makes sense since
state is the important argument, but it took me a little while to realize this and make the mental adjustment.
Once I reached this conclusion, I found writing in a functional style with state transitions much more straightforward.
Note that I find this a useful way to *read* update functions. It's not a replacement for thinking hard about the semantics of the update function you're using
Here are some general guidlines that I find helpful:
- Always write pure functions that represent state transitions or transformations. They take in the current state and maybe some additional arguments and calculate a new state. This is obvious, but sometimes I have to keep repeating these things to myself. Kind of like in Tcl, "everything's a string, everything's a string, everything's a string, …"
reset!(and its cousin
ref-set) is for exactly what its name says: "reset this atom back to some initial state dammit!" Only use it if you're resetting your app, or if the new value truly doesn't depend on the old value. In the latter case, randomly generated values or user input come to mind.
- Always give your transform functions a name. Passing an anonymous function to
swap!means you just wrote a function that's harder to test or experiment with at the repl. Besides, a descriptive name is more readable than most anonymous functions.
- Limit the number of call sites for update functions in your app. A system that's sprinkled liberally with
(dosync)blocks and calls to
swap!will be more difficult to reason about than one where the state transitions are localized.
- Don't forget the
args! I've often fallen into the trap of passing an anonymous function when I needed to pass args to my state transition function.
- Don't forget that most things are functions and, therefore, candidates for transform functions!
; A contrived example (def signal (atom :red)) (def transitions { :red :green, :green :yellow, :yellow :red }) (swap! signal #(get transitions %)) ; <- NO (swap! signal transitions) ; <- YES
and finally, as a wise man once said "functions and data!"
In conclusion, I hope this sheds some light on an area of Clojure that I've personally found to require a great deal of mental deprogramming. As I've gained confidence with these concepts, my code has been easier to read, easier to test, and easier to reason about. Happy Clojuring.

About Us
Center for Transformative Action (CTA) helps create communities that are socially just, ecologically sound, and work for everyone. We do this through our educational programs, and by supporting system-changing projects with incubator and fiscal sponsorship services. Our projects work to transform the structures, as well as the habits of mind, that produce inequities in our communities, country, and the world. Through their innovative methods, as well as their successes and challenges, they show us what is possible.
CTA is an educational non-profit organization affiliated with Cornell University.
Our Vision
We envision change makers everywhere engaging and strengthening the power of the heart to remake the world.
Our Mission
We are an alliance of individuals and organizations inspired by principles of nonviolence and committed to bold action for justice, sustainability, and peace. CTA supports change makers with the tools to build thriving, inclusive communities that work for everyone. We serve our projects, the public, and Cornell University by offering educational programs and strategic organizational resources.
Our Commitment to Diversity
We recognize that to develop truly effective and systemic solutions, diverse ideas, experiences, and frames of reference are essential. Moreover, a wide range of perspectives enriches our discussions, enhances our decision-making process, and makes for a more responsive and sustainable organization.
We also believe that our ability to solve and move past the challenges of our times rests on our ability to listen to each other with deep respect. This takes being able to suspend our position for a moment to truly hear and understand what another is saying.
Finally, taking the time to build relationships and develop trust is fundamental to creating an inclusive organization as well as a community that works for everyone.
We realize that these practices are central to our mission and require continuous attention as well as intention. To this end, we commit to:
- examine and undo the ways in which our organization's norms and culture may replicate practices of exclusion;
- create programs with the leadership and insight of those they aim to serve;
- promote practices that will increase the diversity of our staff and participants; and
- foster a culture that feels accessible and inclusive, where everyone has the experience of being heard.
Our History
Opening in 1971 as the Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy as an affiliate of Cornell University, our organization has supported innovative and experimental projects that provide constructive alternatives to society's most pressing social problems. In 2006, we re-focused our vision to deal with a polarized global society and brought Transformative Action to the forefront of our efforts, changing our name to reflect our new vision.
Operating in the cradle of Cornell University, our Center plays a unique role, offering programs to Cornell University as an affiliate and serving as an incubator for innovative social change organizations. We serve these organizations, the public, and Cornell University by offering educational programs and strategic organizational resources. In 2011, we expanded our fiscal sponsorship offerings to include organizations across New York State.
Our Theory of Change
History and culture have produced social norms that structure how we work, socialize, engage, and even think. Layered within them are messages about what is good, right, worthy, and heroic--and what, or who, is not. While these messages may guide us to behave well, they also reinforce a fear of those unlike us. This fear and the anger that runs close on its heels shut down our natural impulse to empathize and connect--to act from the heart.
"Us vs. them" thinking, polarized positioning, and discord across differences such as race, class, ethnicity, religion, or political leanings result. Experiences of being threatened and wronged by the "other" can justify patterns of exclusion, injustice and violence that tear at the fabric of our communities--and our very being.
Transformative Action calls for courage to break the silence that surrounds these injustices; patience and compassion to build an inclusive movement for systemic change; imagination to stay free from "us vs. them" strategies; and inspiration to envision new solutions to common challenges.
When we animate the power of our hearts in these ways, bold actions result:
- We find common purpose with others
- Take pressing social problems in hand
- Live our lives out loud
- Listen deeply, act courageously
- Transform ourselves and each other
- And ultimately co-create thriving, inclusive communities that work for everyone.
At CTA, our projects and initiatives engage and strengthen the power of the heart, and our services support bold change makers. Because Ithaca, Cornell University, and New York exist in a far-reaching network, the impact of those empowered through our programs ripples across the country and the world, transforming lives and communities. This is our vision for change.
Our Organization Model
CTA employs a hybrid organizational model. We are a non-profit but gain some cost recovery through the provision of business services to our Project Partners for which we charge an administrative fee.
To sustain the transformation activities of our organization, however, we mobilize other sources of funding which include income from a Cornell-held endowment, gifts from donors, and grants from the public and/or philanthropic sectors. Our Project Partners each develop their own funding sources within our non-profit structure.

Wilmington Councilman focuses on hunger and poverty
As part of Hunger Action Month, Wilmington City Councilman Darius Brown visited Wilmington Head Start this morning to draw attention to the nutritional needs of children living in poverty.
Councilman Brown is urging residents to take action this month to fight poverty and hunger. As part of that effort, he stopped by Wilmington Head Start to observe food prep and talk to children about good nutrition. The location serves 165 children who attend the center.
"The Wilmington Head Start program provides quality and comprehensive early childhood development services to children ages 3 through 5 years with a heavy emphasis on health and nutrition services," Brown said. "This program is typical of those in our state that have beneficial programs in place to help reduce Delaware's 14.2% poverty rate."
Earlier this week, Brown visited Westside Family Healthcare on East 16th St. to help the Food Bank of Delaware distribute food to residents in his district.

My bro learned to take his accident with a grain of salt. You have to have a bit of humor when you get up out of bed and forget that you don't have your prosthesis on and go to stand up ..... crash and oops!<quoted text>
I'm out of props.... but if I could....
He also refused to use a handicap tag, works in heating and air, drives a stick, volunteers at a pet rescue center, and still finds time to take his sailboat out.
I think he is happiest out at sea. He doesn't need his leg so much and takes it off .... it's his peaceful place. He plans to retire on his boat in the ocean leaving this life behind.

A few miles outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania, stands the 240-foot-tall Tunkhannock Viaduct, a railroad bridge that held the record for the largest concrete bridge in the United States for more than half a century. Today, the structure still draws ooos and ahhs from passersby. But many of them don't pay mind to the creek that runs below the bridge.
(Image courtesy jasonb42882/Flickr)
That waterway is Tunkhannock Creek, a 40-mile-long tributary of the North Branch Susquehanna River that runs parallel to Pennsylvania Route 92 in Wyoming and Monroe counties. Like many of the streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, "Tunkhannock" has Native American origins. The Lenni-Lenape translations include "wilderness stream" and "meeting of the waters."
Although the industrial coal towns the creek bypasses may not fit a typical expectation of "wilderness," there are places where the Tunkhannock seems relatively remote. The creek is even becoming a whitewater rafting destination. Classified as a Class I-III by American Whitewater, Tunkhannock Creek offers the perfect experience for beginners.
If fishing is your thing, you'll want to check out the creek's East Branch (in Herrick Township) and South Branch (in Scott Township).
Rumors of a swimming hole on the creek near Factoryville sound like trip back in time. But be careful – we're not convinced this recreation area is on public property.
Hikers can sneak views of the creek on Choke Creek Trail, a 6-mile trek through blueberry bushes and the Lackawanna State Forest. The nearby Endless Mountain region is overflowing with recreational opportunities.

The health of Tunkhannock Creek, however, remains questionable. Efforts to manage polluted stormwater runoff are attempting to keep up with the effects of sprawling development throughout the South Branch's 100-square-mile watershed.

School and Work Bag
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I got this for a gift for my wife. She says it works wonderful for her. She rides a bike to college and work and it carries everything she needs. When she rides the bag stays in place and she hardly has to adjust it when getting around.
Great Patagonia bag for work/travel
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great bag for everyday use for work and as carry on for traveling. Separate laptop divider is great for keeping the computer safe and Patagonia made sure there are a enough pockets for the daily necessities!
Everyday Carry
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this bag for almost 5 years now, and I love everything about it. This is my go to one strap bag for everything from school, to dates, to the gym. It has enough pockets that I honestly sometimes forget where I put stuff. If you need a new purse, or a bag to tote your (13" or smaller) computer to school and meetings this is the bag for you!
Pros: compact size, lots of pockets for storage, great color schemes, water resistant, lightweight, 13" laptop pocket
Cons: forgetting which pocket you stashed your keys/phone in
Its only been one day and I love it
Admittedly the photo Sarah posted of her son made me skeptical that the bag would be useful for an adult sized human, but I decided to order one and LOVE it! I opted for the Big Sur Blue and as soon as I opened the packaging instantly my heart melted.
I am 5' 10" and around 175lbs and this bag works perfectly for my needs it carries a 13" Macbook Pro, and the has plenty of room for the rotating stack of random books that I am constantly transporting to and from the university library. There are some interior pockets and the exterior pocked useful for pens, wallet, and maybe a cellphone or external hard-drive.
best bag i have had in a loooong time
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I absolutely love this bag. It holds an amazing amount of stuff. I bought it for my secondary carry on bag for when I travel but I decided to use it as my every day bag when I got it in my hands. There is a pocket for everything (almost)! It even has a laptop pocket but your laptop would have to be on the smaller end which luckily mine is! It seems to be pretty well water resistant as well. I have had it out in a few rain storms and everything inside stayed nice and dry. Love this bag and patagonia, it is quickly becoming my new favorite brand...
Under flap : Easy access zipper under the flap and more visble daisy chains sewn on the bag.
Back : Durable and hefty handle for when it's jam packed. Also offers a small strap/handle underneath the bag. Slip your papers, map, ticket, etc. in the back velcro pocket.
Front of your Mini
Notice the daisy chain design, smaller profile buckles and reflective strip.

My son's new school backpack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
While shopping for new back-to-school packs my son surprisingly picked this messenger bag. Also not to mention, he's in first grade this year. So I was a little skeptical about getting a messenger and not a regular backpack for support and comfort. So far so good, he loves the size and the strap. It offers SO MUCH room for anything he needs. The bottom of the messenger has a durable polyester ripstop and I love that it's been treated with the DWR (durable water repellent). So if he's hanging outside waiting for me to pick him up, whether it's raining or snowing, he's good. The flap offers buckles which are really easy to open and close (no pinching included). I also like that it offers a reflective stripe for low lightening when on the go. All the essentials for him going to school are included, even has a mesh elastic bottle holder for his HydroFlask.
When he's not using it, I am! It's the perfect bag for an adult that wants to carry more than maybe can fit in your purse. I've worn it while out at the zoo or concerts. It's just large enough to bring that light jacket, wallet, water bottle, accessories, phone, snacks, etc. It has organizer pockets for just about everything without feeling overwhelmed. I included some more detailed photos just encase you're wondering what it looks like in there. I'm 5'9" and this works great on my hip or even goes down much lower if needed. The adjustability is a nice detail, if you've tried on other messengers some don't offer that as much as you would think.

School/Travel Bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I researched for weeks trying to find the perfect bag that could double as a school bag (college) and a travel bag. With a higher price point, I really wanted something that had multiple uses. I LOVE this bag. I've had it for several months now and have no major complaints. The bag is comfortable to wear. It fits all of my school supplies and has adequate room for my computer, although it can be a tight squeeze causing some difficulty to pull it in and out if I'm not really trying (13 inch macbook air). I can generally fit two or three text books, depending on the thickness, with a reading book as well. It has several extra pockets that I love to use for chargers, sticky notes, etc. I've been in the rain with it before (not a complete downpour, but enough to make me nervous) and never had damage to anything in the bag. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this bag!
Perfect everyday bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used this bag for two weeks and I think it's terrific. I have a lot of little things to manage, and having this makes me feel like I have help rather than something else to struggle with. The organization, access, and pockets are very well thought out. I tried a bag a few weeks ago that was 15L in size, but it wasn't as well planned and I'm actually able to fit more in this one. I'm a writer and editor with two young kids, and I wanted something great for everyday adventures/child-wrangling that would also work well for work. This is it. It's the perfect size for a parent bag, with room for everyone's water bottles, jackets, snacks, plus the usual stuff anyone would carry in a purse. There's room in the organizer panel to stow things I need to have every day but don't use constantly, like sunscreen and bug repellent. We spend a lot of time outdoors, and this bag is sturdy enough for any environment and easy to carry while walking long distances or on uneven terrain. It's very easy to access the bag's contents while I'm carrying it and on the move, which is so helpful with kids. It's also just the right size to carry my 13" MacBook Pro (2010 model - so thick! Anything more recent will fit with absolutely no problems!), full-sized planner/notebook, tablet, camera, and power cords. I only load it up for work a few times each week, but if I used it for daily technology hauling or a commute, I'd want a pad for that shoulder strap. If I wanted to carry all the kid stuff and all the work stuff at the same time, I'd probably want a bigger bag, but I'm usually just doing one or the other or a bit of each. This bag is so lightweight and easy to manage that I am also happy to carry it even when I just have a few things inside -- it keeps its shape and stays out of the way. I got the black, and I love the versatility and style. That stark black strap looks great with everything, in many contexts. I use the zip pockets on and under the flaps for my wallet, keys, sunglasses, and phone, and access is very fast and easy. The stretch mesh laptop divider is brilliant -- it holds contents that are several inches thick when I'm using the bag for work, but doesn't get in the way a bit when I load up the main compartment for bulkier things. I also love the stretch mesh water bottle holder -- very sturdy, big enough to hold fairly large bottles if that's what you want, secure enough to keep just about any bottle in place. The smaller interior pockets in the organization panel are little enough to keep things organized, but big enough to be useful. I can also comment on the water resistance, after attending a two-hour outdoor party in the rain (we are crazy) last weekend. I didn't give the bag a second thought while we were out, and everything stayed perfectly dry (though I wasn't toting any tech at the time). This is my first Patagonia purchase, but I have high hopes for long-term use and durability based on this brand's reputation. Ethical labor practices play a big role in all our purchasing decisions, this one included, and I'm glad my perfect bag purchase supports a company that appears to be doing things right. I was also very happy with my purchasing experience from Backcountry.com -- very fast shipping. Thanks!

Rejected, don´t like the idea of having such heavy stuff in AAS in general. If it´s gonna happen my personal wish would be, that this is only available on very large Missions or a pure decision by the Mission-Designer, so we can at least still choose to play AAS without Artillery.
It seems BIS is coming with something here, may that can be used in the future.

Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Acura TL SH-AWD
A Grizzled Veteran is showing its Age
The fourth generation Acura TL has had a hard time fitting in during its short lifetime. Sized closer to a mid-size luxury sedan, the TL is powered, optioned and priced more like a compact luxury sedan. In fact, at a base $36,030, the TL is actually cheaper than the BMW 328i.
With such a cheap entry fee, how is it that the TL still gets outsold by many compact and mid-size luxury sedans? Well, there are many factors like controversial looks and badge snobbery at play here. But not everyone cares about those factors and we wanted to find out for ourselves if this senior citizen is indeed a great luxury performance bargain, or just an also ran ready for a reinvention.


text: Earlier this morning, we released our Q2 results, and we will spend some time discussing our subscriber and financial performance this quarter. But before we begin, I wanted to provide an update on some of our strategic priorities that we have discussed in the past.In the last 40 years, we have made significant investments to create one of the leading entertainment and communications companies in Canada, and Shaw has experienced tremendous growth and success over the history of our organization. However, as our industry matures, cable, telecom and broadcasting entities are challenged to find ways to grow and differentiate their services. We believe that our overall strategy is the correct course of action, and that we are continuing to invest capital, and focus on operational resources, in strategic initiatives that solidify Shaw's position in the competitive environment. Our DNU activities continued throughout the quarter and the reclamation of the analog tiers will enable us to offer our customers unmatched Internet speeds and a greater selection of HD and VOD services. Our Wi-Fi network continues to be constructed, and earlier this year, we launched our Shaw Exo WiFi finder app. We will continue to focus on scaling the network and this remains a priority for us in fiscal '12 and '13. As a technology, Wi-Fi is gathering a lot of attention regarding its role within the broadband and wireless ecosystems. We believe it will further differentiate our broadband experience and increase the value proposition of our Internet services. I also want to reaffirm that based on the government's announcement on March 14 regarding the 700 megahertz auction, we continue to view the economics of the traditional wireless network as unattractive and have no intention of building such infrastructure. We continue to focus on opportunities within the business market in Western Canada. During the quarter, we announced contracts with BC Biomedical Laboratories, Husky's Energy Sunrise Project and the city of Calgary.

I think Wesminster's original post confused us regarding the definition of a tenancy deposit, which is not in s.213(8).
The actual definition is in s.212(8):
IMHO it may difficult to argue that a cheque is not "money intended to be held as security" since that's the whole point of taking the cheque and since once the landlord has the cheque there's nothing the tenant can do against the money ending on the landlord's bank account. Money is held 'otherwise'."money" means money in the form of cash or otherwise;
"tenancy deposit", in relation to a shorthold tenancy, means any money intended to be held (by the landlord or otherwise) as security for—
(a) the performance of any obligations of the tenant, or
(b) the discharge of any liability of his,
arising under or in connection with the tenancy.

(HARTFORD, Conn.) – Saint Francis Care reported continued positive financial results in its 2007 fiscal year. The parent organization of Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center ended the year with a bottom line gain of $22.5 million.
Speaking today at the Hospital's Annual Meeting of Corporators, Christopher M. Dadlez, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are very pleased with this solid performance in a very challenging environment."
Saint Francis experienced considerable growth in outpatient clinic and emergency department visits during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2007. Many of these patients were either uninsured or Medicaid recipients. As a result, the Hospital provided over $49 million in charity care, bad debt expense and unpaid Medicaid costs, compared to $43 million in the prior year.
"While it is a privilege to serve our community with the best-in-class care that we provide, this places an enormous strain on our resources to meet these ever-escalating costs," said Dadlez.
In other developments during the past year, Saint Francis established the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute, introduced stroke and bariatric surgery centers, and opened a new medical office building in Enfield. Fifty-three new physicians joined the Hospital's Medical and Dental Staff. Saint Francis also acquired major new technologies including biplane angiography, dual source CT scanning and Stereotaxis magnetic navigation.
At its Annual Meeting, held today at the Connecticut Convention Center, Saint Francis also introduced six new Board members and 30 new Corporators. New Board members include: Timothy Furey, Richard H. Gordon, Jeffrey S. Hoffman, Curtis D. Robinson, Andrew A. Sadanowicz and Rosalind Shenkman. New Corporators include: James Balch; Richard M. Barry; Lorey Cavanaugh; Dawn M. Costanzo; Sean T. Egan; Lisa Gerrol; James T. Healey, Jr.; Myles N. Hubbard; Scott A. LaBonte; Barbara A. Lentini, Coleman B. Levy; Frank P. Longobardi; Joe K. Mensah; Jacqueline Werth Moore; Kevin Mullane; Janet M. Newman; Mark D. O'Donnell, Ph.D.; Matthew D. Ritter; Curtis D. Robinson; Kathleen M. Roche; John W. Rodgers, M.D.; Edward A. Santos; Howard A. Shaw, M.D.; J. Brian Smith; Mary Q. Smullen; Joseph J. Spalluto; Jeffrey Steinberg, M.D.; Rev. Erica A. Thompson; Irene Triompo; C. Steven Wolf, M.D.; and Eric M. Zachs.
Looking ahead to the future, Dadlez said that early in 2008 Saint Francis will introduce specialized centers for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, wounds and lymphedema.
Founded in 1897, Saint Francis is a major teaching hospital licensed for 617 acute inpatient beds and 65 bassinets and is the largest Catholic hospital in New England.

By Ridge Mahoney
The axiom that goalscorers tend to connect in streaks has certainly been the case for the U.S. national team recently.
Eddie Johnson scored in his second straight game Wednesday in a 3-1 Gold Cup semifinal defeat of Honduras. Chris Wondolowski
scored in three straight games before being blanked against Costa Rica, and in June Jozy Altidore tallied in four straight matches.
The key
is not just the forwards themselves, according to former U.S. internationals Kyle Martino and Eric Wynalda. They are
feasting on what is second only to finishing in the scoring of goals: high-quality, consistent service.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that Jozy Altidore started
scoring again once Jurgen Klinsmann adjusted things to get him a little more service and a little more support," says Martino, who is NBC's lead soccer analyst.
Herculez Gomez -- the No. 1 striker at the end of the 2012 World Cup qualifying campaign -- had to leave the Gold Cup team because of injury, yet it has
still set a U.S. record for goals in the tournament (19) with the final Sunday against Panama yet to be played. Landon Donovan's torrid form -- five goals
and seven assists and dozens of menacing moves -- is a primary factor, yet he's been on the end of quality serves nearly as often as he's been providing them.
Donovan laid off
a ball for Johnson to take through the Honduran defense and score the first goal, then got on the end of balls knocked across the goalmouth by Alejandro Bedoya,
who had replaced Joe Corona for the semifinal. In the 5-1 quarterfinal rout of El Salvador, Donovan fluffed three good scoring chances in addition to scoring a
goal and setting up three others. Though not credited with an assist, Donovan also played a ball that Wondolowski relayed to Corona, who smacked it into the bottom corner.
The resistance
has been weak in several of the U.S. Gold Cup games, yet never before in the team's history has it produced so many chances consistently.
"It's a lot different from the
time that everyone was so critical of our forwards, but the difference is, the service has been great," says Wynalda, who held the U.S. record of 34 goals until Donovan surpassed him. "The
supporting cast around whoever happens to be up there has been nothing short of fantastic. The service on some of the goals from Wondolowski and [Kyle]
Beckerman, specifically, was poetry in motion."
Altidore hadn't scored for the USA since November 2011 but went on a tear after nailing a Graham Zusi cross against Germany June 2, and he followed up by netting one apiece in World Cup qualifying victories over Jamaica, Panama and Honduras that sent the USA to the top of the
Hexagonal standings.
Altidore, who set a record for an American in a foreign league by scoring 31 goals last season for Dutch club AZ even as his barren U.S. run continued, credited his
U.S. scoring streak to making the necessary adjustments to playing for the USA, yet the dynamics of the team have changed as well.
"They've moved slightly into a more vintage
4-4-2 look, with Graham Zusi delivering outstanding service from the right side and [Clint] Dempsey playing a little closer to [Altidore] than he used
to," says Martino.
Dempsey has also been in scoring mode, tallying in five goals in eight U.S. games this year while usually playing in the "hole" underneath the forward.
"Ask any forward that plays up top by themselves; they say that they can handle the challenge -- the second you're on an island by yourself, it becomes difficult," says Martino.
"That's not what it's like for his club team; he gets a tremendous amount of support up top. He had a lot of service, which he wasn't getting with the U.S. That, compounded
with the fact he was getting criticized and the pressure was mounting, handcuffed him."
Two other factors at play are the team's depth and a sense that no matter who is
playing in which positions, chances can be created. Maybe Bedoya played so Corona could rest for the final, yet Bedoya took his opportunity boldly. The return of Omar
Gonzalez didn't propel him into the lineup for the semifinal; instead, Clarence Goodson kept his spot and with a pair of accurate balls out of the back set in motion the
sequences that produced the first and third goals.
Despite Wondolowski's roller-coaster record with the national team, he epitomizes the determination and belief that seems to
permeate the squad. He goes balls-out for every ball and is utterly committed to the cause. Wynalda sees those qualities in every player that Klinsmann has selected for his busy stretch of games
during the past two months.
"The way this has been working is that belief system is working," says Wynalda. "The passes have been there, the runs have been there. There
have been so many close calls and somebody says, 'Oh, man, almost, good job."
"The good news is,' By the way, that guy just made a really good pass.' It used
to be, 'Oh, sh--, that was it, that was our one chance, the one time he was able to figure out how to cross the ball.' We don't think that way anymore. We think, 'Oh,
he'll be able to do that again, because he's good and I believe in him, so I'm going to run again.' And sure enough, it hits you in the eyebrow, and goal!"
For signs of the team's solidarity and maturity, Wynalda judges not reactions to goals, but to adversity, such as persistent fouling by Honduras, or the near-misses that result from intelligent
approach work.
"How many times has Landon pointed back at the person that passed him the ball?," asks Wynalda. "How many times has Wondolowski pointed back to the guy
who passed him the ball? In my opinion that's the most important part because it's the recognition of a great pass.
"This team is a hell of a lot better than we thought
and we think. It's one of those situations where we're in the moment and it's hard to appreciate it for what it is. The team is really playing well, it's really functioning

Tony Hall, chief executive of the Royal Opera House, has been appointed as director-general of the BBC.
The former director of news at the BBC will take up his post next March, succeeding George Entwistle who resigned earlier this month after just 54 days in the job.
Lord Patten, chairman of the BBC Trust, confirmed Mr Hall's appointment and said his background in news "will prove invaluable as the BBC looks to rebuild both its reputation in this area and the trust of audiences".
Lord Hall, who was made a cross-bench peer in 2010 as Lord Hall of Birkenhead, is also deputy chairman of Channel 4.
Tim Davie will remain as the acting director-general until he is able to take up his appointment next year.
Lord Hall, who will take up the post on a salary of £450,000 per year, was appointed following a direct approach from the BBC Trust, which did not contact any other candidates. He was not an applicant when the position was vacated by Mark Thompson earlier this year.
He said: "I believe passionately in the BBC and that's why I have accepted Lord Patten's invitation to become Director General.
"This organisation is an incredibly important part of what makes the United Kingdom what it is. And of course it matters not just to people in this country – but to tens of millions around the world too.
"It's been a difficult few weeks – but together we'll get through it.
"I'm committed to ensuring our news services are the best in the world.
"I'm committed to making this a place where creative people, the best and the brightest, want to work.
"And I know from my first days here as a news trainee, to my time as head of news and current affairs, to my time now at the Royal Opera House, that I can't do it on my own. Having the right teams working together, sparking off each other, is key.
"And I want to build a world class team to lead a world class BBC."

They have strut housings. You'll see a giant nut on the housing for the strut. Once you break that nut free (lots of PB blaster and soaking) you'll be able to pull out the cartridge and replace it.

Breaking Up
(With Your Broker) Is Hard To Do
by Barbara Eisner Bayer (TMF Venus)
WOODSTOCK, NY (August 3, 1999) -- Do you remember the last time you told a significant other that his or her significance in your life was kaput? Did you dread the moment of confrontation, continually putting it off until "the right time," but ultimately knowing that there weren't enough mops in K-Mart to quell the flood of tears that would ensue? After all, you were a nice guy and your partner-of-the-moment was a nice guy, but you had decided it was now time to be nice guys with new, even nicer guys.
Deciding to leave a full-service broker for a new and improved discount model can be equally difficult. Just this week someone wrote, "I'd like to know what excuse I can use to transfer my account without breaking my broker's heart (he is a good guy)."
Fools, a broker is in service to YOU! Not vice versa. S/he is supposedly making decisions in your best interest. You owe a broker nothing more than the commissions s/he makes from investing on your behalf. Sure, the person may be nice, but if s/he is averaging 8% a year investing your hard earned bucks when you could've been averaging upwards of 20% by using the Foolish Four approach, you better be looking for reasons NOT to leave.
When you become Foolish and decide to take over the helm of your investing sailboat, this change of course is necessary.
True, you might hurt your full-service broker's feelings (not to mention his/her ability to receive awards for being the highest-commission earner in the firm), but you need to look out for Numero Uno, the Big Cheese, the provider for your family, the big Kahuna -- i.e., YOU.
Another Fool writes:
"You folks should start a 'My Messy Divorce' site, detailing final conversations with full service brokers! I had a ditty yesterday, over the whomping $40,000 or so I have invested. What came back to me was the 'You'll be back. Let's see how you do versus how I do. Sure, why don't you go ahead and play your little games... buy 100 shares of Disney at 27 and watch it run up to 35 in five years. I prefer to make more money FOR YOU faster.' Etc., etc. Veiled as a nice conversation, this guy sort of went on the offensive."
This from a broker who was probably a "nice guy" at some point -- the point when he was earning high commissions from the letter writer's account. Successful sales people are usually successful because they know how to come across as "nice." When their livelihood is threatened, you find out just how real that persona is.
Once you master disconnecting from your broker emotionally, the physical part is a breeze. And you NEVER have to speak to your old broker if you don't want to. First, you have to decide which discount broker is right for you. That's the hardest part. With all the options out there, it's hard to get through all the information available. (For help, visit our Discount Brokerage Center.)
Once you have decided on a broker, fill out an Automated Customer Account Transfer (ACAT) form, which can usually be downloaded from your new broker's website. Or, if you still crave human contact, you can call and request one. You send it in with a copy of your last statement from the old brokerage house and possibly some additional proof of identity. The new broker handles everything from there.
In an ideal world, the transfer will be made within about 5-10 business days for regular accounts, and 10-15 business days for retirement accounts. But Caveat Investor -- some brokers can take up to 3-6 weeks to complete the transfer process. The actual transfer time depends on how quickly securities are released by the firm currently carrying your investments. Some may require a letter from you authorizing the release of your funds.
All brokers I polled guaranteed that you could buy and sell stocks after you've requested an account transfer. Your account would always be with someone -- either your old broker or your new one. Unfortunately, that means tracking down the whereabouts of your securities; and if you dread phoning your old broker, you may just decide to refrain from buying or selling stocks until your account is settled with your new broker.
One last, unFoolish fact. Some brokerage houses charge an "exit fee" as high as $50 to close IRA accounts. Boo. One broker even adds an additional $30 fee if your IRA account is under $10,000. Why does it take more money to transfer an account with less money?
On the other hand, sometimes your new brokers will reimburse you a fixed amount to cover those fees. Yay! Feel free to discuss this matter with your new broker BEFORE making any transfers.
Remember, no one cares more about your money than you do. And if you've decided that Foolishness is for you and you're ready to begin a Foolish Four approach, using a discount broker will probably be your best path.
No matter what anyone tells you, you CAN beat the market. And if your current relationship isn't working or is costing you too much, don't be afraid to venture out into the unknown sea. After all, your new broker might just be the partner of a lifetime -- someone to share a drink with on the yacht you buy thanks to your successful portfolio.

As to facebook - if you wanna blame it on something besides you not being comfortable with it you can just say that she's not old enough according to FaceBooks rules. COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act, states that websites can't collect and sote information from people under 13. So tell her that she's not allowed to lie about her age online and therefore she can't have a FB.
One other thing I notice is that this girl doesn't do many extra-curricular activities. Most of her time outside of school is hanging out around the neighborhood. My dd, on the other hand, is very busy with activities. I've been wondering lately about the value of all of these activities, but if it means keeping her away from hanging around the neighborhood doing nothing then I'm all for activities!
You've mentioned a few different "freedoms" and I consider different factors for each of them.
Freedom of movement - I like to know how to contact my tweens/teens in an emergency, so I ask them to let me know where they are going. Similarly, I let them know where I am going to be. It's a matter of courtesy. Mobile phones help with this. Having said this, I think it's fine for an 11 y.o. to ride her bike around the neighbourhood. I imagine the neighbourhood/town/city makes a difference - how big it is, how safe it is, etc. I've lived in a city where a majority of the children attend private schools - they don't necessarily attend school near their home. At first I was surprised at the very young children - 9 and 10 y.o.'s - who ride public trains without adult supervision - they usually travel in groups and are picked up at the train station by parents or nannies. These children are traveling by train for half an hour or more without adults on a daily basis. As a result, I think they have a more relaxed attitude in general to being on their own at a young age, and I often see children this age on their own at the neighbourhood park. It's a cultural thing - I think North Americans tend to more "helicopter' parenting styles.
Freedom on internet - My ds started a Facebook account at age 14, to keep in touch with overseas friends and family. DD just turned 13 and signed up for Facebook for the same reasons. Until then she used e-mail and MSN, but photo-sharing is a little less convenient among groups, so she was happy to get her own Facebook account. We're as careful as we can be with what gets posted, what information is shared etc. - maybe the girl's parents are have her passwords and are monitoring her Facebook use. When you have friends who live all over, Facebook really helps with homesickness.
Freedom of appearance - generally, I let the children choose how they dress and whether they use make-up etc., with a few strict limitations (no permanent tattoos, no piercings except a single hole in each ear lobe, and dress must be appropriate to the occasion - so no ripped jeans when we take Grandma out to dinner). If my dd wanted to wear mascara, I'd roll my eyes, but I wouldn't make an issue out of it, although I wouldn't encourage it. We do have a lot of fun with mother/daughter spa days though, getting manicures and pedicures together - and we've done it since she was fairly young - 10 y.o. or so. In fact, she has no interest in eye makeup. I'd just rather let her express herself and I prefer to battle over things that are more important to me.
The tweens can be a tough time if parents are constantly in a battle over the tween's need to express their own identity and test their independence. I think each family has to find their own way, in the context of their own values and the cultural norms around them.
My homeschooled 11yodd is friends with an 11yo girl from down the street. The girl is a nice girl and I don't mind having them play over here, at her house, or outside in front of our houses where they like to draw with chalk or just hang out. My concern is that this girl has some freedoms that I'm not always comfortable with and I am wondering if I am just out of touch. She is allowed to just take her bike without asking her parents and ride around the neighborhood to parks that are a 10 minute ride away, or to walk to a convenience store that is about a 15 minute walk away.
My dd was asking me about Facebook, what it is and what you do on it, and said that her friend is on it and "talks to people". She has told me that her friend gives her "fashion tips" and the other day she put some mascara on her. For the past couple of days there has been a couple of 12yo boys coming around and chatting with the girls and my dd came in to ask if she could walk to the convenience store with them. I said no and my dd said that everyone her age has way more freedom than her.
So, am I overprotective? Is this typical for 11yo girls? Facebook? Mascara? I just am not comfortable with the hanging around the neighborhood/convenience store thing, and a few things that just seem a bit too grown up to me.

"Whatever power you give politicians and bureaucrats to use against other people will eventually be used by future politicians and bureaucrats against you." ~ Michael Boldin
Column by Paul Hein. Exclusive to STR It comes as no surprise that "mater," (Latin for mother) forms the root for "MATERnal." But it also forms the root for "MATERial." That's significant, I think, suggesting that the woman's world is the world of stuff, of things. Men, on the other hand, live in a land of ideas, abstractions, and dreams. How nicely the sexes complement each other! And isn't it interesting that the ovum is the largest cell...
Original article "If traffic violations [become] mostly a thing of the past, [because of self-driving cars] the police won't be able to use pretextual traffic stops anymore. They can follow self-driving cars all day but won't be able to pull them over. Because the power to make pretextual stops requires a traffic violation, we may see a sea change of enforcement away from traffic enforcement." Some utopian-minded otaku has fanatsies that they'll finally leave us alone, someday.
Sen. McCain: Americans 'stupid' enough to go to North Korea should sign a waiver with the US governmentOriginal article The crazy old warhawk is tired of the mighty USGov always being embarassed as a toothless tiger by Turd-World kakistocracies, (like North Korea), proving yet again that they can't protect anyone or anything. Let's take him up on this, eh? Finally there'd be credible evidence by admission that the USGov can't and won't protect their citizens at home or abroad, which is after all the professed reason for a state's existence.
Original article But just for THEMSELVES, of course. WTF? What about the rest of us? They wanna be armed because, as they found out last week, 911 is a joke.
Original article Yeah, whatever, Farmer Jones. There are LOTS of farmers markets in mid-Michigan, so go sell at one of them instead. If you want SWPL bucks, then you have to play by their rules. How the world works, dude.
Original article The ability to access the internet is required to exist in modern society.
Original article So go ahead and blow 'em all up guys! We'll just buy more! Only $3 million each too.

What a gorgeous ass! Love these heavy girls :D
Tight Top & Tight Booty Shorts
Featuring: Chevy Cobain
Date: October 8th, 2015
Photos: 50
Chevy Cobain came all the way from Erie, Pennsylvania to be an XL Girl. She said she was a little nervous in the beginning her first time here but that disappeared as the shoot went on. She has a laid-back personality, warming up as her clothes came off so she could rub her big tits and finger-bang her pink taco. Chevy's on a few social networks like most chicks today. She loves taking selfies. Our studio people saw her there around the same time she saw XL Girls. Chevy's only 19 years old and sprouted young. Her boobs are a 40H-cup. The stylist measured her bustline at 50-inches. Definitely more than a handful.
