It's one of Canada's oldest and most storied sporting events that has attracted British royalty for nearly 75 years.
But the future of the Queen's Plate thoroughbred race is being questioned after the president and chief operating officer of Woodbine Entertainment Group said Sunday's race could be the last if the Ontario government doesn't change its plan to scrap a slot machine revenue-sharing program at provincial tracks.
"As a result of the government's current position, premier race events such as the Queen's Plate as well as day-to-day horse racing are in jeopardy," Nick Eaves said at Thursday's post-position draw. "It shouldn't be interpreted as a threat. It should be interpreted as a realistic outcome."
Earlier this year, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced he was axing a revenue-sharing agreement with racetracks that began 14 years ago and gives them a cut of the slot profits. That amounts to $345 million annually and is split between track operators and horse owners and breeders.
McGuinty said the revenue-sharing program would be cancelled by March 13, 2013.
Shortly afterwards, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation announced it was closing slot machine facilities at Fort Erie, Windsor and Sarnia racetracks, leaving more than 550 people out of work.
"If we don't have an operating model to take us past April 1, 2013 then I can't see a way for us to operate and if we're not operating then there's no Queen's Plate," said Eaves. "It's a fact, not a threat."
A spokeswoman for Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said Thursday the decision to scrap the Slots at Racetrack program was simple economics.
Aly Vitunski said Ontario's racing industry has received $3.7 billion in government support since 1998, a figure that's more than 10 times what Alberta, B.C., and Manitoba provide their horse-racing industries combined.
"(Since '99) it's estimated that more than $650 million has been provided to the Woodbine Racetrack in slots revenue," Vitunski said, adding another $650 million has gone to purses at the track.
"At the end of the day we need to ask ourselves whether the government should be in the business of health care and education or horse racing," she said.
But Eaves can't see how horse racing in Ontario will survive without the revenue-sharing program, which he says accounts for roughly half of annual revenues.
Eaves said there has been no dialogue between the horse-racing community and government regarding the revenue-sharing decision or any potential new arrangement between the two sides.
"I'm not looking for a reaction from government," Eaves said. "We're trying to plan, we're trying to have people understand the situation we find ourselves in and ultimately, what kind of a business we can operate in the future."
The Queen's Plate was first run June 17, 1860 and has evolved into a national sporting icon. Each year, Canada's top three-year-old thoroughbreds test their mettle over 1 1/4-miles at Woodbine Ractrack in the annual "Gallop for the Guineas."
British royalty has participated in the race, starting in 1939 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were in attendance.
Queen Elizabeth II has visited Woodbine four times, the first being in '59. She and Prince Philip returned 14 years later and joined over 40,000 spectators who watched Royal Chocolate cross the finish line first. They saw Awesome Again win in '97 and Big Red Mike emerge victorious in their last visit two years ago.
But the most popular British royal to attend the race was undoubtedly the Queen Mother, who visited Woodbine seven times before her death in 2002.
"It would be a tragedy if the 153rd Queen's Plate was the last Queen's Plate," Eaves said. "Look at the history and tradition of the event, not just in the horse-racing world but look at how it stacks up against other Canadian icons in sports and beyond.
"It would be inexcusable if this is the last Queen's Plate."
Veteran jockey Todd Kabel, a two-time Plate champion who came out of retirement this season and will ride Classic Bryce in Sunday's edition, said it would be "devastating to the world of horse-racing" to lose North America's longest continuously run stakes race.
"We just have to pray and cross our fingers it doesn't come down to that," he added.
Eaves questions whether the governing Liberals fully appreciate just how big the horse-racing industry is.
"It's an industry that employs 60,000 people, contributes over $2 billion a year in expenditures and ultimately supports a very large agricultural business," he said. "Why on earth there wouldn't be more support for keeping an industry like that going is anybody's guess."
The racetrack slots program generates about $1 billion in profits, according to Eaves.
"So not only does the abandonment of the industry result in what could be the end of the industry but also forgoes $1 billion in profit," he said. "It simply doesn't make sense."
Politics aside, there will be a race Sunday, with Strait of Dover the early 3-1 favourite. A total of 14 horses will battle for the $600,000 winner's share.
Strait of Dover, the son of English Channel, has won his last three starts and will break from the No. 4 post in the opening leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. River Rush, the 4-1 second choice, drew the No. 1 post while 6-1 third pick Golden Ridge, one of three horses trained by Mark Casse in the field, will start from the No. 7 post.
Dixie Strike, another Casse horse, and Irish Mission, trained by four-time Plate champion Mark Frostad, are the lone fillies in the field. Dixie Strike was the 2-1 favourite earlier this month in the $500,000 Woodbine Oaks but finished a disappointing fifth in a race Irish Mission won at 9-1 odds.
Both fillies are looking to follow in the footsteps of Inglorious, last year's Oaks winner who went on to beat the boys and capture the Plate.
Trainer Roger Attfield will again go after a record-setting ninth Plate victory when he sends Colleen's Sailor, a 15-1 longshot, from the No. 9 post. Attfield remains tied with Harry Giddings Jr. for most career Queen's Plate victories and last won this race in 2008 with Not Bourbon.
Seven horses have won the Queen's Plate en route to capturing the Canadian Triple Crown, the last being Wando in 2003.Report Typo/Error

WOW > WOW> NICELY PUT, and I DO FEEL CONNECTED HERE> I canot seem to pull myself away for too long. I keep coming back. THANK YOU OP for the Thread, and THANK YOU COMMUNICATIONS RELAY.. GREAT POST
Time for another input I feel:
Firstly, to those of you who may be feeling too much anger to experience what we're on about. It looks like some of us have tried the softly softly approach and its not getting through. This is fine, but it may require you to think about the following (its meant nicely, but coded in a certain way)...
"Listen crewman, you've got a fucking job to do. Stop whining on about the situation you were parachuted into, you're there because you're the best one for the job. You do not need an airlift, because you're not going to retreat, you are going to stand firm and fight for what you know is right. If you weren't needed to fix the problem or didn't want to, then you wouldn't be here. End of! If you don't like what you see, then do your job and change it. Gees, you're a highly trained specialist, so do what you were trained to do, take the anger, turn it into love and let rip. An equal and opposite reaction will cancel the prevailing energy wave. Oh and put down the fucking gun, what are you a fucking savage? No, you're a powerful, omni-dimensional being, who is loved by the source of everything, now fucking act like it!"
If we're in the same unit then there are two things you need to remember: 1) No one gets a free ride. 2) No one gets left behind.
Finally a few technical and command updates for you:
There's a 4d briefing coming up, you're welcome to join, but don't worry if you can't make it, as we'll be updating files for you to access as and when you need them.
Remember, its a quantum light operating system and you can program it by thought repetition. Essentially if you have one prevailing negative thought, then you need to consciously counteract it with your preferred outcome, this will tilt the balance of the whole system in your favour, provided that your request doesn't conflict with the nature of our environment (which is love). Also bear in mind that because its quantum, your outcome can often happen before you've even thought of it, so always check the past, as well as the future (you do need to think of it though, otherwise you won't recognise it).
3d existence to be destroyed? No, that's not how it works. You don't remove your foundations, just because you've built the first floor. 1d, 2d and 3d will always exist, even if you're not paying attention to them at a given point. Nothing is destroyed, only changed and the default of change is evolution, not revolution. So if you're seeing things as always repeating, then change your angle slightly and the circle becomes a spiral (the same applies to those just seeing the ups and downs of the wave) point of view is what its about and yours is always unique to you (its what makes you special).

Is this love, baby, or is it just confusion?
— Jimi Hendrix
Venus enters Pisces at 4:31 pm EDT Saturday to powerfully evoke where love meets confusion. Powerful because Venus is exalted in Pisces — another way of saying empowered to express itself freely. Love because, among other things, Venus correlates with emotional attractions. Then, there's confusion.
The likely correspondence to confusion has to do with the first aspect Venus will make upon entrance to Pisces — a conjunction with the centaur object 7066 Nessus.
Nessus entered Pisces only two days ago, its first foray outside of Aquarius in over eight years, and will remain in the first degree of Pisces for days on end because it moves slowly. Venus, on the other hand moves much faster.
When fast and slow objects function to enter a new sign at essentially the same time and come together in the first degree, it's astonishing timing.
Astonishing timing indicates meaning, and gets the attention of astrologers. Centaur objects have meaning as well, the type that gets your attention, albeit in disquieting way.
Nessus is among the centaur objects. Centaurs are defined by their unstable, elongated and steeply inclined orbits that typically cross paths with the the behemoths (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and/or Neptune) of the outer solar system.

Moving Overseas. Advice, Thoughts & Recommendations?
Hey Forum,
My first post here, although I've lurked for a while.
I'm hoping to get some thoughts, advice and potentially recommendations from y'all lovely fellow GSD lovers. I'm having a rough time right now working through all of it and emotions are getting involved, ha.
Currently live in Maryland got two GSDs who I love very, very much growing up GSDs were my dream dogs and when I finally was able to own some I've continued to fall in love. We adopted both of our dogs.
The first is an almost 10 year old female, black about 80 lbs who we adopted after her original owner passed away about 2 years ago.
Our second one is not quite 1 1/2 male, traditional brown, big teddy bear (about 110-120 lbs) loving boy just starting to come out of the puppy stage. We adopted him about 8 months ago when his original owners life situation changed and they couldn't give him the attention he needed.
My whole family has been blessed by these two dogs and they are very much part of the family my daughters (6 and 5) spend hours with them and they are amazing. Both awesome dogs who I and my kids love very, very much.
Recently got offered an amazing job opportunity that I've accepted that's going to move my family overseas to Abu Dhabi, UAE for a couple of years (the "toe" of the Arabian peninsula). My intentions have always been to bring our dogs with us, growing up I went through some giving up/rehoming situations with dogs and it tore me up and I've never wanted to have to do that again. However...as I've started working through the process of moving them over I seem to be running into roadblocks and difficulties at every turn. I'm hoping maybe some of you have done an international move before with your canine family members and can help me find some perspective in all the craziness right now. Many people who aren't dog lovers/owners just don't understand why I just don't give them up or rehome them and it's tearing me up to consider it.
I've been being quoted prices anywhere from 6-8 thousand dollars to ship our dogs over. Our big boy may need a custom crate (he's about 41 or 42 inches from ear tip to floor). Obviously being the middle east it's hot over there, like really hot sometimes. I'm all messed up right now about what the best thing to do is. I don't want to give them up and firmly believe that rarely is giving up your canine family members the best option...they are a part of us.
At the same time so many people think I'm crazy for bringing them...that it would be better to rehome them...I just don't know what to do right now.
Sorry for the really long post...I guess I'm hoping that maybe someone here can tell me I'm not crazy...or maybe I am or...I don't know...
On a more logistical note, if you live on the east coast does anyone have any recommendations for people who build custom crates or extensions for crates for international travel?
Thanks for listening if you read all of this.

Lane Bryant- free shipping, free coffeemaker deal
This is copied from another site- I'm going to check it out, but haven't been there yet- it looks like a great deal!
Have you done the Lane Bryant deal yet to get [size=w]free shipping[/size] and a [size=w]free[/size] $24.95 value coffeemaker? Here's what to do:
1 Order something. Try the Clearance section.
2) Go to the side menu and put this code into the product search box: 54-18658-391 (it doesn't say it, but this is for the free $24.95 value coffeemaker).
3) Add it to your cart and go to checkout.
4) At checkout, use code: 51-57935-400, for the free shipping. Your final total will be only for the item you purchased.
Others on that site reported only spending $2.88 for a pair of slippers and still getting this deal. Apparently there's no minimum purchase. I'm going to look around and see what they carry in my size.
I did this deal earlier today and also ordered the slippers. I figured it was worth a try and I did get a confirmation email that my order had gone through.02-21-2005, 03:40 PM #3

I'm back... just went to the Lane Bryant site and ordered a pair of pants on clearance for $10. When you put in the coffeemaker code, it has you go to a page and select the size (?)-- just click on size 0. It all went through fine, no problem.
And on a side note... I've never ordered there, and according to their size charts I needed a larger size than I would normally buy. I'm hoping these pants fit!Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements02-21-2005, 06:17 PM #4

I got my pants and coffee maker on Saturday. The coffeemaker is really nice- I'm going to set it up on a timer to try it tommorow morning!
The pants are, as I suspected, too big, but I like them. I will have to exchange them for my normal size.

|A replica of the Dove, one of two ships that carried the colonists to St. Mary's City, is on display at St. Mary's City. The Maryland Dove was constructed in the 1970s to serve as an educational exhibit and traveling historical reminder of Maryland's settlement.
The Maryland Dove is a full-scale operating replica of the ship that carried supplies for the 1634 expedition. Settlers arrived on the passenger ship, the Ark. Both ships sailed from the Isle of Wight on November 22, 1633. They were soon separated at sea, but came back together six weeks later at Barbados. The ships stopped in Virginia before arriving at St. Clement's Island on March 25, 1634. In August 1635, the Dove set sail for England loaded with beaver pelts and timber. She never arrived in England and was presumed lost in a North Atlantic storm. The replica of the Dove was built on the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore in 1975, using many 17th-century methods and tools. The keel was laid in June 1977 and the ship was commissioned in 1978.
Hours of operation for Historic St. Mary's City are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, from March 22 through the end of November. The exhibits are also open on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day. The museum's Visitor Center and archaeology exhibit hall are open, Wednesday through Sunday, throughout the year; cosed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Admission to the museum is $6.50 for adults, $6.00 for seniors (60 and over) and students (13-18 and college ID); and $3.25 for children (6-12). Group rates and guided group tours are also available.
Directions: From the Capital Beltway in Maryland, take exit 7 (Md. Route 5) south approximately 70 miles to St. Mary's City.

Bing And Facebook
On the 12th of January, I made an interesting discovery. I searched for someone on Facebook, and got served web results powered by Bing – big stuff.
Using 'Gary Vice' as a test name, after a few test searches, I started to see that the results favour social networks such as LinkedIn and Twitter profiles. But what about Google+ and YouTube profiles? I doubt it. Bing is now part of the search filters in Facebook so you can officially use Facebook (and start using Bing) to search the web.
Initially, Bing may have reached out to Facebook. They started serving Facebook results in their SERPs in May last year (For more on this, click here). This was a move for Bing to leverage people's affinity toward social networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and (of course, but not obviously) Windows Live. (Bing Makes Search More Social With Facebook and Twitter Results).
This move could also be Bing's way of going social, perhaps as a reaction to Google releasing Google+. Will they eventually release a platform integrating Bing and Facebook ad management, perhaps even inclusive of LinkedIn and Twitter? That would be a good move by Bing to take on Google. Currently, Google+ claims they will never serve ads on the platform, but they may need to reconsider making that definitive statement as the platform grows.
What About Yahoo!?
Yahoo! and Bing already have an alliance of sorts with their 'Yahoo!/Bing network'. Is Yahoo! going social as well? And if so, what is their strategy? Google developed its own social network in Google+, and Bing seems to have climbed into bed with Facebook, to implement something similar. And now, it looks like Facebook has made space for Yahoo as well. On the 20th of February, a colleague sent out a link that highlighted this article: 'Yahoo! goes social, teams with Facebook for site revamp.'
This is one of the big implementations by Yahoo!'s relatively new CEO, Marissa Mayer. Despite the fact that Yahoo! is competing with Facebook for ad revenue in some ways, Yahoo! has decided to leverage Facebook's social model for their own site. This is similar to what Bing did from a strategy perspective. I'm expecting that this is the first of many collaborative efforts by some of Google's main challengers.
Google has been so successful that their competitors are begging to work with one another. Individually, taking on Google doesn't seem very hopeful, but together, Bing, Facebook, and Yahoo! form an interesting opposing 'team'. Google, however, still has the uncontrollable beast that is YouTube and you can expect they'll be beefing up their social platforms and experiences.
Bing, Facebook, and Yahoo! may need to find ways to latch onto people's affinity towards experiencing video content online to truly compete with Google on their level. Like, for instance, does Facebook have space for a video site like Vimeo?
What do you think of this new stand against the giant that is Google? Let us know in the 'Make a comment' block below.

It looks like it's the end of the line for the popular R4 cards for Nintendo DS and DSi, after a high court judge ruled that they were illegal. It is now no longer legal to import, advertise, or sell the R4 card in the UK.
The R4 cards enables many games to be stored and played directly from a card that slots into the DS hand-held, and was widely used to play pirated games.
The defendants, a Playables Limited and Wait Dat Chan, argued that the devices were legal as they permitted the use of 'homebrew applications', but the judge, Justice Lloyd, was not sympathetic to their claims.
""The mere fact that the device can be used for a non-infringing purpose is not a defence," read his ruling.
Nintendo declared itself satisfied with the verdict, stating it was "pleased that the court was not persuaded by the defendant's arguments, claiming that game copiers are lawful, as they allow for the play of 'homebrew' applications."
The writing was on the wall for the R4 cards in the UK, as the judge was following a similar ruling in the Netherlands in July.
The ruling is a timely one for Nintendo, as it preps the 3D enabled Nintendo 3DS, due for release in the UK next year.

There are many R&B songs that have been released and continue to be released by different artists year in year out. Some of them fail to create an enormous impact on the audience hence they fade away as fast as possible. Maybe they couldn't cope with the competition, or they had a reason best known to them. However, there are others that cannot just disappear regardless of the number of years that they have been in existence. They are the songs that you will play over and over again without getting bored. Here are the top 5 R&B songs of all time.
Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
'Billie Jean' is a song that was composed and written by the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson. It is the second single song from his sixth album, "Thriller" which was released in 1982. Billy Jean was produced by Michael Jackson with the help of Quincy Jones. There were some speculations that the song was about a real life experience involving Jackson and his encounter with the groupies. The song became an instant hit, and it was one of the best-selling singles all over the world in 1983. It topped the charts of many countries including US, UK, Italy, Switzerland among many others. Billie Jean was ranked 58th among the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine and was also certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Some of the awards that the song scooped include two Grammys and one American Music Awards(AMA). Billie Jean enabled Michael Jackson's album 'Thriller' to become the best-selling album of all time.
Superstition by Steve Wonder
Another R&B song that is among the greatest of all time is Superstition, which was produced and performed by Steve Wonder. The song was produced in 1972 by Motown Records and since then, it has retained its position as one of the most loved and most played R&B. Superstition was the lead single in the artist's Talking Book album. The song topped the charts of many countries including the US and it was his first number-one single since 1963. The stars of this track continued shining as in November 2004; the song was ranked 74th among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by the Rolling Stone Magazine.The lyrics of the song revolve around superstitions, and many popular superstitious fables are mentioned in the song and how these superstitious beliefs can cause harm. Superstition received a gold certification in the UK, and it is credited for propelling the sales of Talking Book album.
(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
A month before this monster of a song was released, Otis Redding died in a plane crash. This tragedy did not stop the song from becoming an instant hit as it was so far the artist's biggest hit. The song was released on January 8, 1968, just three days after it had been recorded. It went ahead and topped several charts especially in the US and was performing well in many other countries. The success of the track sparked a feeling that Otis could have released more hit songs had he lived for a little longer.Before he died, Redding recorded this song with Stax guitarist Steve Cropper and the latter went ahead to produce it among other songs in an album. During the recording, Cropper whistled in the last verse since it had not been written yet. The whistling was retained when the song was produced, enhancing its mood. So far it is the most famous whistling that has ever been done in a song.
I Believe I can Fly by R Kelly
I Believe I Can Fly was produced and performed by an R&B singer R. Kelly in the year 1996. The song was released in November 1996, and it became part of the singer's album that came out in 1998. The song managed to remain in the second position on the Billboard Hot 100, and it has been rated as Kelly's most successful single. The song topped the charts in the UK and had managed to scoop three Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at position 406 in its 5oo Greatest Songs ofAll Time, and it has continued to receive a massive airplay up to date.
Fantasy by Mariah Carey
Fantasy is a song that was performed by the American Songbird Mariah Carey and was released in September 1995 by the Columbia Records. It was written by Mariah Carey with the help of Dave Hall, and it was the lead single for her fifth studio album Daydream that came out in 1995. The lyrics of the song describe a love-struck woman who genuinely loves her man that she always fantasizes about an impossible relationship with the man. Carey's unique vocals together with the use of "Genious of Love" in the song have made it remain an all-time R&B song. 'Fantasy' has enjoyed immense success in the US and also in other countries. It was the first song done by a female to make a debut at the top of Hot 100.
It's great that these songs have cemented into our brains for eternity but what about the next generation? Great Question I say! Well I've put together a list of what I think are the best up and coming R&B Youtubers. Check it out!!!!

Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Spoilers, probably! It's a review of a season though, I'm not tagging the whole thing.
Well, that's it all over. I have to say, I loved almost every second of it Everything felt so right to me. It was all as great as it ever was, both in writing and the cast performances. At the same time, I can understand others possibly being disappointed, though not surprised given most things that happened were sign-posted far in advance (some even as far back as the mini-series).
The way the Five handled their revelations was really enjoyable to watch, as well as the smaller changes before they came out as Cylons. The Cylons in general really came into their own, given we got a lot more time with them and their issues, even going as far as a full on Civil War. I also quite enjoyed the fact the different versions of the different models had differing personalities.
I also really enjoyed Baltar and his storyline, with more limited interaction with Head Six than usual, yet when it does happen it's a lot more direct. she even literally lifts him up, which was pretty cool He became a lot more twitchy and more confident in his role as a leader of sorts.
No more Guess the Cylon, nice to see how that resolved. I really liked the changes to the last of the Five - a lot more confident, yet still the same person. Also I would apologise to Gaete for trying to have him pushed out an airlock if it weren't for how his story ended
As for episodes, I really enjoyed pretty much every one this season. Revelations (which I think might've been a mid-season cliffhanger) was excellent and didn't go the way I thought it would! Everything after that was great to watch too, including the mutiny, the alliance and even all the stuff about music and visions (the very things I think would've turned some other people off). Also, given it's the last season I loved the fact any character could die at any time. Heck, even the titular Battlestar wasn't safe!
But of course it was the finale that I think would've been the most divisive. I absolutely adored it. It just felt like the right way to end it all to me. I won't go into it too much as I suspect it has all been said and discussed to death, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I even got teary-eyed at points. I especially loved old-school Centurions taking on new ones. Incidentally I also watched Razor after S3 and loved seeing the old Raiders in that too
It didn't even really leave too much open to interpretation, and nothing really came completely out of nowhere. Sure, some stuff was only really introduced this season but most of it was off-shoots of stuff that came before.
Loved it all. Almost sad it's over, so I'll probably leave The Plan and any other spin-offs for a while.

The Killing III
I enjoyed this a lot. As before it does the political intrigue well along with the investigation itself. The ending surprised me as well

Death Valley - 8/10 (Netfix US)
"A mockumentary following a police force as they deal with various perpetrators who are mostly supernatural in nature".
I though I'd watch the pilot and see if it was any good. I just found it hilarious. It's very gory too. The police captain just had me LOL most of the time.
"Let's go out there and kill something!"
Edit: A bit like Cops meets True Blood which brings the funny.

That sounds pretty good - added to my rental list.

Heh, I enjoyed Death Valley, some great characters and hilarious dialogue at times (especially the Captain, on both counts). I really hope they do more.
The League of Gentlemen
Series 3.
I was/am a massive LoG fan, but when series 3 originaly aired I was not impressed. I have just re-watched all 6 episodes over 2 nights and I forgot how funny it is, lots of great nods to the first 2 series.
Still not as great as the first 2 series (and radio)but a lot better than I remember.
"we have a saying down our way-when the shits been shat" awesome line.
If you have never seen LoG you need to.

Battlestar Galactica - Season 4
Better than I remembered it, or maybe I'm getting soft in my old age
Started watching Full Metal Jousting
If they had filmed a bunch of Rednecks standing in a circle, punching each other in the face, they would have saved on their (limited) budget.
Still, it's car crash TV
Homeland - Season 2
Every time she does that boggle eyed thing I want to punch her in the face. The same for every time the daughter opens her whiney mouth.
That being said it is reasonably entertaining and sets up the next season nicely.
Dexter S6 - 8/10
Took an age to watch this as S5 was very disappointing. Really enjoyed it. The story was interesting, kept me gripped the whole time. Worth a watch. Onto S7 now and it's got Yvonne Strahovski \o/

I decided to give Walking Dead season 2 this week, although everybody tells me it's shit. However I don't want to do just jump into the third season and not know what is going on
Peep Show series 8
9/10...not enough Johnson,Jeff or Sophie
Still sublime after 8 series and nearly 50 episodes.
Bring on S9 next year.
Stargate SG1 - Season 1
Yes, it's formulaic but I've always enjoyed SG1. Good chemistry between the team and ends with a good cliffhanger.
The Booth At The End - Season 1
I discovered this by accident and it's excellent. A simple idea that works well. Who is this guy? Is he the Devil? Loved it, my only complaint is that the season was too short.

The Kingdom (Riget) Series 1 and 2 - 9/10
Got this on DVD for Christmas, having no real prior knowledge of it beforehand. Very, very cool Danish horror series set in a hospital that was done back in the 90s by a rather young looking Lars Von Trier (who pops up at the end of every episode). David Lynch influences abound - Lars acknowledges Twin Peaks as an inspiration for the series in the rather excellent making-of included on the DVD - which combined with the muted colours and use of heavy grain, really give the whole thing a uniquely disturbing look and feel.
I do love oddball stuff like this, and it's one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched for a while. My only major complaint was that each series only contain a measly four episodes each, and the storyline was far from being concluded by the end. A planned third series (Lars had even written the script) was shelved when a couple of the lead actors sadly passed away. There was a US remake (Kingdom Hospital) that I saw a one or two episodes of a few years ago, but I remember only two things: a) it starred the guy from Weekend at Bernies, and b) it was pretty dreadful.
Fringe season 4. Hmmmm. Dunno. I love fringe but thought the whole 'spock making a new world thing was a bit bollocks and not in keeping with spocks character from season 3.
You can also see where they tacked on the bit to allow for season 5. A bit shit.
Can't wait for continuum season 2
The Booth At The End - Season 2
Follows on nicely from the first series. A simple idea that works well. I'm looking forward to the next series.
Stargate SG1 - Season 3
Needed more of an overarching storyine, but the team in action is always reasonably entertaining.
Poop socking through the comedy series Community this is gold standard stuff. Acutely observed and wicked
10/10 so far

Star Trek DS9: Season 4.
Fantastic, some awesome highs, The Visitor is one of the best episodes of Trek ever, not to mention a great episode for any show. And the lows are nowhere near as low as is usual for Trek, with no episode being genuinely bad.
And 6 episodes into season 5 the series is just getting better every episode.

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2011
Sangiovese from Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
The grapes are grown on the Isole o Olena estate which covers 290 hectares in the heart of the Chianti Classico hills between Florence and Siena, of which 49 are planted with vines and 42 are in production. The vineyards are approximately 400 meters above sea level and face south west. It's an elegant and balanced Chianti Classico that is medium bodied, with ripe cherry fruits and spice. Cedar notes are present on the nose and pallet. It is very focused and pretty with fresh acidity and firm tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Alluring aromas of blue flower, meat juices, woodland berries and spice jump out of the glass after pouring this luminous blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo and 5% Syrah. The juicy palate offers a core of dark cherry layered with savory black pepper, cinnamon and clove alongside assertive but elegant tannins. This already shows nice depth but hold a few more years for more complexity."
James Suckling - "There's a spicy, light earth and dried cherry character here. Medium body, good fruit and a fresh finish. Bright and citrusy. Delicious young wine. Drink now"
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Sweet raspberry, rose petal and spice notes wrap around the palate in the 2011 Chianti Classico. Soft and enveloping, the 2011 is highly typical of the vintage. In 2011 proprietor Paolo De Marchi used about 10% Syrah to give the wine a little more freshness. Savory herbs, tobacco and licorice add nuance on the finish. The 2011 is an outstanding wine. I would drink the 2011 now and give the 2010 another year in bottle."

Isole e Olena Winery
Isole e Olena was formed in the 1950's when the DeMarchi family purchased two vineyards in the heart of the Chianti Classico region and combined them into one. Since the 1970's, Paolo DeMarchi has become a leading winemaker in the region by experimenting to improve the Chianti blends and by making wines from 100% Sangiovese (which he labels Cepparello). The goal is producing complex wines with good aging potential. View all Isole e Olena Wines
About Tuscany(TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli.

AGF Management Limited Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
TORONTO | June 26, 2013
AGF Management Limited (AGF or the Company) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2013, reporting adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.17. The Company recorded a $25.9 million tax provision during the quarter, leading to a diluted loss from continuing operations of $0.12 per share compared to earnings of $0.17 per share for the three months ended May 31, 2012.
Total assets under management (AUM) were $37.6 billion for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $43.2 billion during the second quarter of 2012. Total retail fund AUM, including retail pooled funds, were $19.5 billion as of May 31, 2013, compared to $20.8 billion as of May 31, 2012. Institutional and sub-advisory AUM were $14.4 billion as of May 31, 2013, compared to $19.0 billion as of May 31, 2012. High-net-worth AUM increased for the third consecutive quarter ended May 31, 2013, with a 12.2% increase to $3.7 billion, compared to $3.3 billion for the corresponding period in 2012.
Redemption levels improved during the quarter, declining 10.2% from the first quarter of 2013 and 4.2% lower than 2012 levels. Gross sales remained constant over the same quarter in 2012. AGF's Floating Rate Income Fund continued its strong gross sales performance with $75.0 million in sales during the quarter and over $200.0 million since the fund's launch in May 2012. The fund was also added to the recommended list of a distribution partner during the quarter. Also in the quarter, AGF was successful in its institutional and sub-advisory business as it was awarded mandates by two major Canadian institutions as well as one of the largest local authorities in the U.K. These mandates represent over $636.0 million of AUM expected to fund in the third quarter of 2013.
"We are optimistic about the business going into the second half of 2013. From encouraging macroeconomic signals to some significant business wins for AGF, we are well positioned to take advantage of the improving economic climate and demand for global mandates," said AGF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Blake C. Goldring.
Revenue from continuing operations was $126.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013, compared to $133.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, driven primarily by lower AUM levels. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations was $46.1 million, compared to $50.3 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the three months ended May 31, 2013, net loss from continuing operations was $10.4 million compared to earnings of $16.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012.
The Company expects to receive a notice of reassessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) relating to the transfer pricing and allocation of income between one of the Company's Canadian legal entities and a foreign subsidiary. The Company believes its tax filing positions continue to be reasonable based on its transfer pricing methodology, and the Company is contesting the CRA's position. However, to reflect the uncertainties of the CRA's appeals process, the Company has recorded a tax provision of $25.9 million related to this matter in the second quarter of 2013.
In keeping with our commitment to return value to shareholders, dividends paid, including dividends reinvested, on Class A Voting common shares and Class B Non-Voting shares were $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the three months ended May 31, 2013, AGF declared a 27 cent per share dividend on Class A Voting common shares and Class B Non-Voting shares. During the quarter, under the current normal course issuer bid, 1,508,565 Class B Non-Voting shares were repurchased for a total consideration of $17.1 million.
AGF will host a conference call to review its earnings results today at 11 a.m. ET.

Photofabrication Engineering Inc.
Enabling New Technologies through Metal Etching Applications
As the markets for military and consumer microwave applications continue to expand, the need for high-quality, extremely precise components at competitive prices has become more critical than ever. Not only can Photofabrication Engineering meet these needs, but we can do it with shorter lead times and greater manufacturing flexibility than can other manufacturers. Products supplied to the Microwave industry include microwave circuits, electrical contacts, EMI Shielding & RF Shielding, Step Lids & Flat Lids, and myriad precision etched metal components including gaskets, face plates, and screens.
PEI specializes in photochemically etching microwave circuits in all types of metals, including brass, copper, and beryllium copper. Our ability to etch beryllium is just one example why PEI stands out from other manufacturers. Because of the unique benefits of beryllium copper, it is particularly suitable for products requiring exceptional hardness, strength, self-lubrication, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. Yet most manufacturers cannot or will not handle beryllium copper due to the serious health hazards posed by beryllia dust.
PEI's process for etching beryllium copper parts is safer than any other manufacturing process (including stamping, machining or cutting). Since photochemical etching provides greater tolerance control for elaborate parts, regardless of the material, PEI can provide even the most intricately-shaped products contacts at a competitive price and with short delivery lead times.
In addition to microwave circuits, PEI manufactures a complete line of photochemically-etched EMI Shielding & RF Shielding cans with a patented, easy access removable cover. This unique design allows user to quickly and easily replace or repair internal components without damaging the surrounding shield. An etched line on the surface is broken to minimize RF leakage. The tab connecting the lid to the RF shield can be easily snipped and resoldered in seconds, minimizing downtime. The RF shields are available in brass and 10-10 steel with solder plating, and can be custom designed to meet the most stringent customer requirements.
PEI's EMI and RF shielding cans are designed to protect components from radio frequency/electromagnetic interference and environmental hazards, and to provide electrical grounding. Our in-house tooling and manufacturing process allows typical delivery of production orders in three weeks from receipt of order and customer prints. For over half of the company's history, PEI has dedicated an entire department to the daily etching of both standard and custom Step Lids & Flat Lids for seam-weldable microelectronic packages. We produce lids from prints or the specifications of the package to which the lid will be welded. Whatever your choice of lid, you can be assured that it will be manufactured and supplied to you free of metallic particles and of dust. Hermetic sealing is available as a packaging option.
PEI also manufactures a full line of customer components for wireless and hand-held cell phones and other communications and telecommunications products. Our dedication to this specialty market has resulted in PEI's reputation as the best provider of high-quality, competitively-priced microwave products in the industry.
Photofabrication Engineering (PEI) has been awarded certification under AS9100, quality standards established by the aircraft and aerospace industry. Achieving this award in recognition of high quality levels in "photochemical machining and assembly of precision and decorative metal parts," qualifies PEI among the top companies providing photochemically- etched metal parts and components for the aerospace and defense industries. In addition, the company's manufacturing process has achieved ISO-9001:2008 certification and, in 2010, PEI was granted certification under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), allowing it to provide weapon systems components and accessories in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations implemented by the Department of State.

I got sick the beginning of October 07. I was fat and healthy one day and down to skin and bones the next. Mom took me to the vet and they did a bunch of tests and stuff. The vet said he didn't know why I'd gotten so skinny. A week later on October 16th I just couldn't go on any more and passed to the Bridge. Mom and dad cried. I used to sit in dad's arm every night while he sat on the couch; I think he will miss me the most. Now I'm with my sister Smidgie and my other pals at the Bridge. I'm no longer tired or arthritic. I feel like a kid again. I heard mom and dad say when they buried me that they would never forger me and I believe that. They love their kitties. Off to chase Rainbows and Butterflies.
I'm getting old, Soon to be 14 and I love to sit and watch the world. I'm grouchy and grumpy at times but geez, who wouldn't be at my age. And those younger brothers and sisters. They tear around like a bunch of maniacs and just don't understand that an ol gal needs her sleep! My favorite spot is to curl up in the crook of dad's arm when he naps on the couch at night. I've always done that and it's comfy and warm. He will keep the youngsters away from me and if he doesn't, I'll just hiss at them. That does it every time!

Minimizing a person's sight may improve their hearing faculties, a new study suggests.
In a joint study from the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University, published in the peer-reviewed journal
, researchers used adult mice to explore how neural connections in the brain managing vision and hearing work to support each other. By placing mice in a dark room for a week, similar to a photography room, researchers then found that their hearing improved.
"What we see is that the cortex, the part of the brain that process auditory information, can separate frequencies better [in the dark]," said researcher Patrick Kanold in an interview. By stimulating blindness, researchers found a significant change within the primary auditory context, a part of the brain that processes sound such as pitch and loudness. This essentially altered the brain circuit, which is not easily done in adults.
Though the changes are significant, such as the ability to discriminate pitch and hear softer sounds, they are reversible, meaning the mice eventually reverted back to their normal hearing after a few weeks in a normally lit environment. In the next phase of their five-year study, researchers hope to find a way to make these improvements permanent.
In the meantime, these findings could lead to treatments to help humans who experience hearing loss, as the potential to develop cross-modal training from the mice exists, researchers say.
"This could help when you have auditory processing disorders, when you don't understand speech as well," Kanold said. "Depriving you of vision temporarily might actually improve this kind of condition."
To arrive at their outcome, researchers compared adult mice experiencing stimulated blindness to a second group of mice in a natural environment, monitoring both their responses to sounds. "We insert micro-electrodes into the brain and we present sounds to the animal, and we record electroactivity from the neurons," Kanold said. "We can present sounds of different frequencies and see how active the cells are, and then we can see how good they hear."
Those born with a lack of sight are often known to develop enhanced hearing — blind musicians, such as Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder, are prime examples of this. But until now, scientists had only reported the ability of younger brains to rewire brain circuits to compensate for vision loss, leading to an improvement in hearing.
Now adults may be able to do the same by mimicking similar conditions.
"The biggest problem with adults is our adult brain is not as flexible or changeable as a young brain," said Kanold. "If you have a disorder, it's very hard to fix, and somehow this cross-modal [temporary blindness] training seems to work better than what we would call uni-model training, which is manipulating the auditory experience [alone]."

single pole switch for jacuzzi tub
I am trying to use a switch to power my jacuzzi tub. It is older and does not have any buttons on the tub itself. I found a diagram on-line and tried that but I am having problems still. Here is what I did. I went green from motor to green screw on GFCI, white from motor to white on GFCI and black from motor to a screw on a single pole switch and black from GFCI to the othe screw on single pole switch. Still getting constant power.
Could it be possible the switch is defective?
You probably have a two-way switch, (not a "single pole" switch), whereas the toggle when down is "OFF" and when up is "ON", and is so labeled. Possible the switch is bad, turn off the power, remove the switch, and test with a multi-meter to determine if it is bad or not. Why wire the motor through the GFCI to begin with? Are you using the GFCI as protection? Not a good idea to me. Having the GFCI there will be tempting to use for another reason, IMO--each trip reduces the life of the GFCI. IF the motor will run with just the switch, seek an alternative method of ground-fault protection. Are you sure the motor will run-safely? Good Luck, David
Sure it could. Your wiring description sounds right. How are you doing this? Are you feeding a GFCI receptacle and then feeding the motor with the load side of the GFCI with the switch breaking the black (hot)? Is that correct?
Where is the circuit ground if you are going from the motor to the GFI?
How are you feeding the GFI?
What you describe does not tell us where the feed is.
You do realize this is a tub here? This is a potentially lethal setup if done wrong.

5 Terrifically Terrifying Halloween Party Themes
Halloween doesn't have to be all scares and no style. If you send Halloween party invitations early enough for guests to prepare, you can plan a spectacularly spooky soirée without recycling clichéd costumes and tired themes.
Fright Night
Send Halloween party invitations for a "TV Fright Night" themed party. Decorate different rooms with ideas from terrifying television shows–a strobe light and swirling decorations for a "Twilight Zone" room, caution tape and a masking tape body outline for a crime show room, or cardboard coffins, crosses and garlic for a vampire slayer room. Then, use your Halloween party invitations to let guests know to dress up like their favorite TV stars!
Monster Bash
Another great idea is to host a "Monster Mash Bash," with Halloween party invitations explaining that guests should wear costumes like their favorite monsters–Frankenstein, King Kong, Pokémon, mothers-in-law–and include in the Halloween invitations that you'll feature monster munchies like lady fingers, mud pie and gooey gummy worms.
Mummy & Daddy Halloween Party
For family festivities, send Halloween party invitations for a "Mummy & Daddy Party." Set the tone with an eerie Egyptian tomb theme, then supply rolls of inexpensive toilet paper for parents to turn their little ones into mummies–or vice versa.
Freaky Friday
You can also add a fun twist to your party with a "Freaky Friday" theme. Indicate on your Halloween invitations that guests should dress up like someone else attending the party, whether it's a date, a close friend who is also attending, or you–Halloween's happening host!
Hollywood Horror Halloween Party
Finally, a fabulous way to celebrate is with a "Hollywood Horror" party. Find a chic Halloween party invitation that's red carpet ready, and then decorate the house with movie posters, martini glasses, a Hollywood Hills sign–anything that reminds you of Los Angeles and movie making. Be sure to indicate on the Halloween invitation that everyone should dress up like celebrities, too, then snap a surprise paparazzi picture of each guest right when you open the door!
With a little creativity, unique decorations and the right Halloween party invitations, this year's festivities can be your best Halloween bash yet!

Standard & Poor's has come up with a solution to snow days for employees of its Centennial, Colo., office: laptops.
The credit ratings firm gives a laptop computer to any Centennial employee who wants to work from home during foul weather. Plus, about 90 regular teleworkers get fully stocked home offices with remote access to the company's computer network.
Result: no lost time due to snowstorms—and Centennial gets plenty of snow.
Employees may telecommute up to four days a week, as long as they go to the office once a week for meetings.
HR Director Mike Lams estimates that the price of the laptop computers is offset by the reduction in lost time due to snow.

Hi all,
As a companion post to my existing thread, this new thread will solely focus on my daughter's RESP. As a change, I'll be openly disclosing the full value of the account.
RESP investing
Statistics show many Canadians do not take advantage of an RESP. Of those who do use an RESP, many Canadians are not aware they can invest for themselves, and instead invest in group plans that are not optimal due to higher fees, restrictions on withdrawals, and under performance.
I'm creating this thread to provide encouragement to those who are looking to take control of their child's RESP, by investing in a passive, index-tracking, low-cost, ETF portfolio.
Feel free to post your questions or your own RESP results below.
RESP setup
The RESP will typically receive new deposits, and be rebalanced on a quarterly schedule (January, April, July, October).
I'll be following the ETF model portfolio, as described on Canadian Couch Potato, with some modifications:
- The ETFs being used in the account are: VCN (Canadian markets), VXC (International markets), and VAB (Canadian bonds)
I've be allocating funds among three asset classes: equity, bonds, and GICs
For the equity portion, I'm allocating 20% to VCN (Canadian), and 80% to VXC (International)
Until the year my daughter turns 4 (2019), I'll be investing 100% of the portfolio in the equity class
Starting in 2019, I'll reduce the equity portion by 1/9 (~11%), and move the funds to bonds: VAB. This process will be complete in 2027.
Starting in the year my daughter turns 12 (2028), I'll be primarily focusing on capital preservation. To do this I'll be reducing the bond allocation by 1/5 (20%), each year and moving it into GICs with a maturity in 2033. I'll be fully out of bonds, and only in GICs, as of 2032.
RESP deposit & government contribution schedule
For RESPs, I have to be mindful of both of the rules surrounding personal and government contributions.
Personal contributions
Presently, there is a lifetime contribution maximum of $50,000. I'd like to front-load this as much as possible.
As I intend to hit the maximum, my goal is to deposit $4,000 per year from 2015 to 2023, $3,000 in 2014, $2,500 from 2025 to 2028, and $1,000 in 2029.
Government contributions
Like all Canadians, my family qualifies for the Canadian Education Savings Grant, which provides 20% of the contribution each year, up to a maximum of $500 / year, and a lifetime maximum of $7,200.
As I intend to get the maximum amount, if I follow my schedule outlined above, I'll receive $500 every year from 2015 to 2028, and $200 in 2029.
RESP results
The portfolio since inception (April 2015): up 5.20% or $467.35
If I count the Canada Education Savings Grant [CESG] funds as an investment gain, the portfolio is: up 18.35% or $1,467.85
The annualized (money-weighted) investment rate of return is 6.48%
The annual cost of the portfolio (i.e, the combined, embedded ETF management fee) is 0.24%, or $22.38
