Heard a good stock tip lately?
You may be chomping at the bit to take advantage of that "sure thing" your neighbour's cousin has been telling you about. But according to money guru Gail Vaz-Oxlade, many Canadians have no business getting into the stock market without getting their financial house in order first.
"One of the problems is we talk about investing as if it's something everybody should do," the author and TV host says. "The average Canadian doesn't even have money in their TFSA [tax-free savings account]. Everybody can't be an investor, people don't know squat.
"You can't became an investor until you become a saver, and if you have money in the bank that you're investing and you're carrying a lot of debt on the other side of your portfolio, you shouldn't be an investor," she says.
In her new book, Money Rules, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade outlines 261 guidelines for "making your money work for you." The book covers everything from budgeting ("#17: Needs must come before wants") to credit cards ("#127: Do not have joint consumer credit") to family (#70: Stop letting your adult children tap your wallet.")
Ms. Vaz-Oxlade has written six books about personal finance issues, and is the star of two hit TV shows, Til Debt Do Us Part and Princess, with a new show premiering this spring called Money Moron. She says there's an appetite for the kind of advice she doles out on the shows because she's talking about the fundamentals of money management, not the "high-flying investor stuff." As well, her TV shows present financial advice in a relatable way.
"What I've come to understand is … people need a mythology to let the important stuff sink through to them," she says. "So by watching other peoples' stories, they recognize themselves."
The people watching her show who are wallowing in debt and fearful about their future have lost track of what money is for, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says. "We think we can spend the money we haven't earned yet."
"I want you to know that I have a fair amount of money in my bank account, but I live in a little house in Brighton [150 kilometres east of Toronto] and I drive a 2006 Dodge Caravan. … Because I know what money is for. Money is to cover [emergencies], money gives me options, so I can be nimble."
"Instead, what people do is they buy the big house with the granite countertops, they have to have the red-soled high-heeled shoes, they have to have the handbags with somebody else's name printed all over them, because what they're trying to do is peacocking, to impress everyone else. I very often say to people, 'Impress me with the things you can't see, by the debt you don't have, by the big bank account with the emergency fund.' That's how you can impress me."
As for investing, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says, the first thing you need to do is handle your consumer debt and get some money into an emergency fund. Once you've got that in hand, you need to start learning – about yourself and about how the stock market works. Determine your end goals, how much time you have to achieve those goals and how much risk you can tolerate.
Then, do your research.
"You need to find a course, read a book, follow a blog or three, and learn," she writes in Money Rules. She advocates practising on websites that will allow you to create imaginary stock portfolios, track and trade your investments, and develop some skills as an investor before you dive in.
What you shouldn't do is blindly leave your investments in the hands of a financial adviser, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says, because, as Rule #7 states, "Your banker is not your friend."
Banks and other financial institutions exist to make money, she writes. Just like car dealerships and electronics retailers "they expect their people to shovel as much product as they can."
You can use a financial adviser to invest your money, says Ms. Vaz-Oxlade, who employs one herself. But just be sure you understand what it is they are selling.
Don't be afraid to ask your financial adviser questions, she adds, and arm yourself with knowledge that helps you to ask the right ones. For example, if he or she shows you the average returns for a particular investment, ask to see the "year-over-year" returns, which will give you a truer representation of a product's performance, she says.
As well, be sure to find a financial adviser whose risk profile matches your own. (See Rule #30, "Even chickens can invest safely.")
"If you say, 'I want to get into equities, but I'm so afraid I will lose my principal,' then you're probably motivated to look into segregated mutual funds and see how they work," Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says.
Segregated funds "look like mutual funds and taste like mutual funds, but the icing on the seg fund cake is the principal guarantee," Ms. Vaz-Oxlade writes. (Segregated funds promise you'll get back 75 to 100 per cent of your capital after 10 years even if the market has tanked.) The management expense ratio is higher with these funds, she says, but MERs are another factor that shouldn't be taken out of context.
"If the MER is 10 per cent and they're getting you 35 per cent, do you care?" she asks.
Later this year, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade will be putting out another book, which she calls the "definitive road map to be financially sound." She says she wants to help arm people with the tools to manage their money to their advantage.
"I want people to stop walking through their life unconscious of what they're doing to themselves. I want them to become conscious."Report Typo/Error

According to the London daily Elaph, the famous Egyptian actress Yusra has appeared in another Ramadan television drama series, now a yearly tradition.
Yusra plays the role of a journalist who fights against child labor in the drama series "Fe Aydi Aminah" (In Safe Hands).
She stars alongside Egyptian actor Hisham Salim, the two previously appeared in several drama series together.
Salim plays Yusra's boss, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
Critics have praised Yusra's ability to give a meaningful and powerful acting performance.
Yusra signed another contract with "Al Adel Group" Production Company to take a leading role in a new Egyptian drama series.
Yusra is one of the toughest competitors amongst her colleagues during the month of Ramadan.
This year's Ramadan drama series were less predictable than years past, like the successful Ramadan programs aired in the late 1990's. Then the Egyptian drama series dominated the scene, but at the turn of the century the introduction of Arab satellite channels brought great competition between Egyptian, Syrian and Khaliji drama series.
As for this Ramadan season it is still too early to decide which drams series are most successful. The number of drama series had exceeded the time viewers have to watch them, yet well-known actors have high hopes for their Ramadan projects.

Bowie's 'Next Day' on track for first top 10 since 1983
Listen to David Bowie on iHeartRadio
It looks like David Bowie will be returning to a place he hasn't been in a while next week.
Billboard.com says the rock icon's new album The Next Day is on track to debut in the Billboard 200 top ten, which will mark Bowie's first entry in the chart's upper echelon since 1983's "Let's Dance" peaked at number four.
And The Next Day might also give Bowie the first number one album of his storied career. But the Thin White Duke will have to fend off Bon Jovi's new album, What About Now. Both sets are expected to sell around 90-thousand copies before the tracking week ends this Sunday. The new Billboard 200 will be revealed on Wednesday, March 20th.
The Next Day is Bowie's first new album since 2003's Reality. If it bows at either number one or two next week, it will be his highest charting record since "Station to Station" hit number three in 1976.

Kelly Rowland's 3D Music Video for 'Rose Colored Glasses'
Kelly Rowland's music video for the track "Rose Colored Glasses" is out five days earlier than the official release. Captured in 3D, the video is not only offering "vivid colors and unique visuals" but also the R 'n' B singer in a very revealing dress.
The shooting of the video took place in late July with British fashion photographer John "Rankin" Wadell as director. "The concept for the video is 3D, we've used turntables and circular trap so we can go around her and see from all angles," Wadell who has also shot for Kelis' "Acapella" said.
The video focuses on a relationship which is going down the gutter. Speaking of the filming process, Rowland said back then, "This video has been one of the best video experiences I've ever had. I've shot a lot of videos, but this one is probably the most intriguing because of how it's shot, the lighting - everything is so detailed."
"Rose Colored Glasses" is one of the tracks pulled from Rowland's eponymously-titled third studio album. The effort was supposed to be released this year but is pushed back to 2011 so that she could have further studio sessions with Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox.

Male Power Scandal Lace Micro Garter Short
So sexy
Reviewed: December 10, 2014 by john69, a Straight Married Male
I got those shorts by mail today. Couldn't wait to open and try them - and I'm still wearing them! I don't want to take them off.
They are sooo sexy! The garters round my thighs makes it look as if I'm wearing transparent stockings.
The fit is fantastic and the material soft and lacy.
Now I'm waiting for my wife to see me dressed like this. She enjoys seeing me in feminine underwear, and I'm sure she won't be disappointed with these.
- Pros
- Very, very sexy.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- The, so far, sexiest underwear I have.

I want them all
Reviewed: September 27, 2014 by laceandglitter
As a very feminine man who LOVES dressing in lace and pretty lingerie, I was very excited about this range of products, and would have bought them all for myself if they had been in my budget. However, at £18.99 a pop, that's more than I'd spend on the highest quality of underwear. That's why I was thrilled when I received this item as a free review product and couldn't wait to try it on.
I'm usually a size Large in boxers and am a 36/38 inch waist, so I specified the L-XL size. Although it fits okay, it's a little too large to really be supportive around the crotch area. That said, it's very flattering around my waist and thighs, and it's possible that my proportions are the problem here and not the sizing exactly. That said, a greater choice in sizing would have been great, as the S-M would probably be much too small, but this was a bit too big. It's perfectly comfortable to wear, and I've got it on under my clothes and can barely tell I'm wearing anything.
In terms of quality, I'm a big fan of the lace and mesh combo and it's all decent material, but I'd really hesitate to say it's worth the price tag. The lace is fraying a little, as lace commonly does, and the mesh pouch at the crotch could have perhaps another layer of material to properly support and flatter that area.
- Pros
- The design is very flattering and the garter leg idea is gorgeous.
- Cons
- The material quality and little choice in sizing doesn't seem worth the price.
- Bottom line
- Very sexy and comfortable lingerie, just wish it was cheaper so I could buy more!

Ratings for Dr. Ben B. Shenassa
I just saw him today as a second opinion. Wow, what a difference. I had to wait 2 months to see him and originally I thought he is one of those surgeons who is going to push for surgical intervention and that is why he is so busy and not able to see me on a more timely fashion. He gave me so many options and actually persuaded me not have a surgery for my condition. What a difference
I had a problem with my right kidney due to a previous surgery. The previous surgery blocked the ureter and my right kidney died. Dr. Shenassa helped me through the process and very stressful situation. At the end, the kidney had to be removed and the surgery which he performed was done with no future issues. Very happy with his performance as a surgent. Highly recommend him.
Ben Shenassa is my colleague, as I am a physician myself. He performed a straightforward surgery on my teenage son with great results. His follow up and vigilance were phenomenal. He also performed a complex surgery on another one of my family members. Because of his care and bringing in the right consultants to help, my family member is alive and free of cancer. I have and will continue to refer to him my other patients and/or family members.
phenomenal experience. he has saved life of a family member and multiple friends. I love the fact that he tries to improve the problem without medicines first. It was interesting how he told me he is one of the biggest prescriber of a medicine that can help me; however, asked me to manage my issue with other modifications. My family member was saved by him after his performing a complex surgery.
Dr. Shenassa diagnosed and treated my father for prostate cancer eight years ago. Recently I went to him for a visit. Ben is the most trust worthy, caring and capable urologist I know. Highly recommended.
Dr. Shenassa performed a straight forward surgery on my husband. But his manner in delivering the long term issues he may have was terrible. Very smart man. Not on-time, infact he brushed off our follow-up apoitment to a nurse to fill us in. We refused & waited 45 min for him to show up & answer our questions. We are in our 40's, this stuff isn't small to us. He minimized many of our concerns in a way that left us frustrated. His staff also was very nice but one of his office gals kept screwing up the hospital paperwork right up to the day before the operation. This was a major stress getting her to figure it out. Suffice to say we are looking for another doctor.
Dr. Shenassa and his staff were very helpful and polite. Dr. Shenassa took the time to sit down with me and discuss all my questions and concerns. I was very pleased with his professionalism and his mannerism. I would definitely recommened him to friends and family.
He's tremendously knowledgeable and a great doctor who genuinely cares.
He's in one of the most knowledgeable and kind doctors I have ever visited. And all his staff were most helpfull and nice. Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Dr. Shenassa's office.

Maintain Power In Your Relationship
how men perceive powerMen are more advantageous in that they let women believe they hold the power. A common scenario includes the popular debate over where to eat. If Wendy's and McDonald's please the man equally, he'll tell his woman they can go to her choice. Hence, the woman believes the man is making a sacrifice, even though her pick pleases him just as much.
Men may also use a no-decisions-for-24-hours ploy in which they let the woman call every shot for an entire day, thus giving her a (temporary) sense of total control.
You see, men are less afraid to play mind games. They feed off women's insecurities — since women are usually the ones who need more consolation or attention — and use these insecurities to get away with their antics (e.g. going to strip bars, having boys' night out).
The only trouble spot arises when a man believes he'll never get caught. Women may be easily fooled, but they're not stupid. Don't get too cocky or you may wind up with no one to fool but yourself.
how to gain the upper handWorried that you're not the one wearing the pants in the relationship? Don't despair, there are simple, yet effective means of showing you're not about to start wearing a ball and chain:
Don't ask for permission
If you try to get clearance every time you want to step out on your own, the power struggle is over and you have seriously lost. If she's truly "the one," she shouldn't have any trouble with your going out with buddies (as long as you don't abuse it) or doing whatever it is you want to do.
Let's put it into perspective, shall we? If your girlfriend really wanted to chop off her hair, and you vetoed it upon demand, would she still carry it out? Maybe, maybe not, but the point is that a woman is more inclined to defend her tastes (we can already hear the "I can do what I want" speech in our heads), so you should too. Again, don't resort to diminishing the essence of your manhood and your freedom.
Don't give her the world...

Friends of geotourism: Ron Mader
You can't go to any tourism conference, especially ecotourism conference in Mexico – or, for that matter, anywhere else in the world where they're talking about ecotourism, without bumping into Ron Mader.
Ron's been promoting ecotourism since at least 1994 when he started his website Planeta.com
Ron's spoken at innumerable conferences, hosts online e-conferences and hosts an award for indigenous tourism websites.
Ron's latest website contest can be found here http://planeta.wikispaces.com/itbw
Anyone can vote for their favorite nominee for this year's Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award. The winning website gets little more than bragging rights but thanks to the competition, more folks will know about 15 indigenous tour operators and destinations than they might not have otherwise discovered.
I can't remember if I met Ron in Mexico or Venezuela or both. As I alluded to above, he's ubiquitous. The great thing about Ron is his consistency and unwavering passion for promoting ecotourism.
Author or co-author of travel guides for Mexico and Honduras as well as well as a guide to traveling, studying and living overseas, Ron's website says he's currently editing a seminal essay titled "Toward Effective Communication in Responsible Travel and Ecotourism.â€
I look forward to crossing paths again with Ron in some sweet little village in Mexico. Until that day, I'll have to settle for following him on Twitter, @RonMader.
Geotourism: lessons from Guatemala
For me, culture and heritage are important components of the package that is geotourism. While it's critical to preserve the planet and our fellow creatures, it sometimes feels to me as if not much emphasis is placed on preserving cultures. All over the world cultures are becoming extinct. Tibet is the most obvious example, but joining Tibetans are hundreds of indigenous cultures that are in danger of extinction. My favorite part of traveling is interacting with indigenous cultures. I contend they are the keepers of the world's magic. Not magic like slight of hand, but that magic comes alive when people are still deeply connected to the natural world and all its wonders through their cultural mythology and spiritual beliefs.
The following story illustrates what I mean about magic as well as helps answer the question about "basics" of gaining acceptance in a new culture. Passing through the indigenous highland village San Andreas Xecul in Guatemala in 2001, I met TS Harvey (still a grad student then) who was studying language use and attempting to catalogue and cross-tab the different ways the Quiche Maya communicated their medical problems which varied dramatically depending on whether they were taking to a local curandero (traditional healer), sacerdote (mayan priest), or a traditional western trained doctor. To do so, Tenny had to earn the trust of the priests in particular who still carry heavy sway in villages in this area. In fact, Tenny was unable to visit the local San Simon effigy (a entirely different story but a fascinating and important Mayan deity, aka Maximon) until he was moved to a new host home or Tenny could risk eroding the trust he'd built up with the priest and associated cofradia with whom he was working closely.
Tenny said his approach to gaining the trust he needed to do his research was to let the Maya be Maya and he be true to who he was. Because of the nature of his work and trust gained, Tenny had been offered to become a priest. Doing so would have opened more doors for him and his research but he didn't feel such a course was an honest approach. "It's a slower road but one with more respect and one where you can sleep at night,†he told me.
Tenny told me the village was experiencing "soul loss†and that about 15 people had died mysteriously in the past two months including some young children and teens who had gone rapidly from playful, healthy kids to dead. The villagers believed shades (spirits) were wandering through the town and they couldn't get rid of them. If you saw a shade and didn't get treatment right away you would die. Tenny said there were no obvious clues to what had been killing the people. He said the local Mayan priests (very few Catholic priests there) were really busy either trying to eradicate the shades or tending to funerals.
Elsewhere, while "visiting" San Simon in Xecul, I noticed a villager assembling the items for his "burn.†They included the usual assortment of copal and candles as well as two cans of green chile. I hadn't seen green chili used as an offering before and was told that chili smoke is supposed to repel evil spirits (and Conquistadors a long, long time ago). Fireworks thrown into the fire ended this prayer offering. It was explained to me that the ashes are saved and resold for those who would sprinkle them on someone whose love they hoped to attract.
In my journal I wrote that my experience during that month in Guatemala reminded me of a poster I'd seen in the States that sagely proclaimed "Some things have to be believed to be seen.â€
If Tenny didn't believe in the possibility of spirits causing illness, could he have "seen†what he was studying? Could the Mayans fall sick, cure broken hearts, be healed by their Mayan priests and gods if they didn't believe in them?
Especially when traveling among indigenous cultures I have found it's important to suspend my Western beliefs about nature and especially God at least long enough to really see people and their daily lives and belief systems in refreshing, sometimes startling, but always interesting and enlightening ways.

There has been further terrible violence in the Mexican drugs war this week – thirteen people killed by masked gunmen in Oaxaca state, which isn't even one of the areas that is normally regarded as in the frontline. The more this kind of thing happens, the more people will begin to ask whether President Calderon actually made a mistake in unleashing the "war on drugs" in 2006.
Perhaps the most articulate Mexican critic of the drugs war is Jorge Castaneda, the former foreign minister, who makes several telling criticisms of the whole effort, in this article for Foreign Policy. I sympathise with some of what Castaneda has to say. But it's not clear to me what his proposed alternative is? Is he just suggesting that Mexico should have tolerated organised crime. That is certainly implied by his sentence – "Mexico is not Norway and it never was." Read more

Conserving Power
From Open Source Urbanism
We have been building our prototype Bike POV on the Arduino Diecimila powered by a 9V battery. The device draws about 43 milliAmps at 9V. If the 7 LEDs were on 100% of the time current usage would rise to about 200mA, with no LEDs lit it's around 38mA. A 9V alkaline battery is rated at about 900mAh so one battery should power the device for approximately 20 hours. It would be good to try and improve on this.
Choosing a Battery
9V batteries are small and easily connected to the Arduino Diecimila but they are expensive and the on-board voltage regulator that converts 9V to 5V dumps some of this power as heat. There are better battery options.
Rob Faludi has conducted some real-world battery tests with some interesting results. The stand-out winner in these tests are the AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, particularly when 4 batteries are used without the 5V step-up circuit.
Each NiMH cell gives 1.2V, connected in series this makes 4 x 1.2 = 4.8V. Although the Arduino's onboard regulator delivers 5V the ATmega168 microcontroller will run on anything between 2.7V and 5.5V (although the data sheet does note that EEPROM writes become unreliable at under 4.5V on Rev.A chips - not sure how to tell the chip revision?). To run the Arduino Diecimila on something other than 5V you bypass the onboard voltage regulator and plug your power source directly into the 5V and GND header pins on the board. Just don't supply these pins with more than 5.5V (or maybe 6V, there is some confusion in the data sheet about this) or you may fry the processor.
The Bike POV seems quite happy to run from 3 AA alkaline batteries connected in series providing 4.5V. At this voltage (bypassing the voltage regulator) the device draws approximately 35mA. A typical alkaline battery holds around 2000mAh so this setup should last about 50 hours. Running from AAAs would probably cut this by half but would reduce size and weight.
Bypassing the voltage regulator means you avoid the losses associated with voltage conversion. Our next version of the Bike POV will be constructed using the low cost RBBB Arduino compatible board. These boards have voltage regulators that can be removed, reducing overall board size and component count.
Turning Itself Off
It may be useful if the Arduino could turn itself off when not in operation. This forum post has some suggestions as to how this may be achieved. The best solution seems to be this MOSFET design from Randy Jones, it consumes a meagre 0.17 mA when on and this should drop to near zero when off.
Sleep Mode
Another way to conserve power would be to put the Arduino into sleep mode. It would be good if the Bike POV automatically sensed activity (maybe via the magnetic sensor) and if the wheel was dormant for a set period it could enter sleep mode.
Details on sleep mode can be found here.
There are a couple of problems with implementing this with the current design:
- wake from sleep can be triggered via digital pin 2 or 3 however the shields we've made use these pins to drive LEDs (we would have to redesign the shields).
- to wake the Arduino you need a digital signal on the interrupt pin, this means that the analogue hall effect sensor wont work (or will need extra hardware to work) - we could investigate reed switches
- waking from sleep can take some time (up to a second but this may not be a problem)
There may be other benefits apart from saving power:
- using an interrupt pin to sense the wheel movement might simplify the timing code (we could go back to using a delay() function. Details on this can be found here

Geneva (AFP) Aug 02, 2013
China breached the rules of global commerce by imposing duties on imports of US chicken, the World Trade Organization ruled Friday, saying Beijing must fall into line.
A WTO disputes settlement panel said that China's actions had been inconsistent with rules that allow countries to impose duties when their trade partners dump goods on their markets.
Dumping is the practice of selling goods at cut-price in order to increase market share, which can harm domestic producers.
The WTO panel said that China's chicken duties were found to have "nullified or impaired benefits accruing to the United States" under international trade accords.
The issue has been a major bone of contention in the often tense trade relations between the world's two largest economies.
It concerns chicken 'broiler products' -- chickens less than 13 weeks old -- imported from the United States.
China imposed the duties in August 2010, claiming that the chicken products were subsidised in the United States and then sold at less than fair value on the Chinese market.
Prior to the duties, the United States was the largest exporter of broiler products to China.
After the duties were imposed, US officials said that US broiler chicken exports to China fell sharply, and warned that 300,000 US agricultural jobs were at risk.
Washington, which turned to the WTO in September 2011, welcomed the decision.
"The United States has scored an important victory today for America's farmers and for fair play in international trade," United States Trade Representative Michael Froman said in prepared remarks.
Under the 159-nation WTO's rules, member economies pledge to take their disputes to the Geneva-based body in an effort to avoid all-out trade wars.
The WTO's complex trade dispute settlement process can last for several years, with the possibility of appeals, an option still open to China, and reviews of respect for its rulings.
Its dispute panels are made up of independent trade experts, and if they find in favour of an aggrieved member, they can eventually authorise retaliatory trade measures if countries at fault fail to fall into line.
Like his predecessors, US President Barack Obama has faced repeated domestic political pressure to get tough over China's trade record.
The WTO ruling "sends a clear message that the Obama Administration can fight and win for American farmers, businesses, and workers in the global trading system," said Froman.
Many in the United States blame Chinese trade and currency policies for the loss of jobs, particularly in manufacturing, and a massive trade gap.

Loom Work
Below are a few portraits that I have done on the Mirrix Loom. I send the original picture I want to bead to http://www.crossstitch.com/photo, and they send me back a pattern. I match up the DMC thread colors to my Delica bead colors. Below are examples of my work.
This is my nephew, Jayden John Singer. He was 3 1/2 years old when in 2004 he contracted a severe form of bacterial meningitis. He spent 3 weeks in the pediatric intensive care unit of St. Joseph's Regional Medical Care in Paterson, NJ. While there, he endured a coma, 2 strokes, seizures, near total paralysis, kidney failure and potential brain damage. He was on a ventilator for 10 days. After intensive care, he was transferred to Childrens Specialized Hospital in Mountainside for rehabilitation. He had severe hearing loss, speech and learning disabilities and partial paralysis of his right side, an aftereffect of the stroke. Jayden had to relearn everything; how to swallow, speak, hear, move and walk. In September of 2004 he was released from the hospital. He is making great strides in his recovery. He is currently back home with his parents and proves, every day, to be an inspiration to the people around him.
This is Jessica, a family friend. She died in a tragic motor vehicle accident the day after her 19th birthday. I was proud to bead this picture of her for her family.

A bright and sunny fall day provides the perfect back-drop for a couple of foodie friends and myself to go on a special Dim Sum run, in search of some out-of-the-ordinary offerings, in the Richmond Hill/Markham area. We selected the old stalwart - 'Casa Imperial' and a spanking new addition - 'King Dragon' as our chow destinations.
Frequently mentioned but seldom reviewed or posted, 'Casa Imperial's' position amongst GTA's top echelon Chinese Fine dining establishments is un-disputed. 'King Dragon', newly opened and located atop of Commerce Gate on Hwy 7, apparently has hired the ex-Dim Sum chef of down town Lai Wah Heen to run their Dim Sum department. This alone is enough to instill curiosity for a visit.
Shying away from all the usual traditional selection ( except for the Shrimp Dumpling 'Har-Gow', which I usually pick to use as a reference yard-stick ), our order focused exclusively on innovative or previously unheard of dishes.
From the Casa Imperial menu we selected the following:
- Baked BBQ Pork and Pine Seed Puffs
- Premium Abalone and Chicken Pie
- Crispy Wafer net wrapped Shrimp and Peach Roll with Salad Dressing
- Papaya and Milk Pudding Puff
- CI Signature Jumbo Size Shrimp Dumpling - 'Har Gow'
- Braised Oxtail in Lemon Grass, Satay Sauce
- BBQ Duck and Chinese Cabbage Dumpling with Conch topping
From the King Dragon menu we had the following:
- Fried Taro Croquettes dusted with Salted Duck Egg Yolk Crumbs
- Steamed 'Lobster' Dumpling
- Pan fried Pumpkin Jello Pudding with Honey Dip
- De-constructed open Abalone and Chicken/Scallop Pie with Broth
First off, Casa's offering. Overall, presentation was surprisingly rough with an edge. Some of the baked items were unexpectedly burnt! However, these defects were more than compensated by some outstanding taste and texture. BBQ Pork Puff was packed to the brim with juicy and tasty filling. Abalone and Chicken pie oozes with the delicate aroma of Awabi amidst a slightly creamy and delicious filling. The grease-less wafer wrapping of the Peach and Shrimp roll added a lovely delicate crispy textural component to the sweet, chewy and crunchy shrimp filling. A winner! Taste of the braised oxtail was exotic and tasty. Unfortunately, the dish was spoiled by the tough and under-cooked oxtail. Another hour in the slow cooker would render the final product ideal! For once, the taste and overall texture of the Har Gow actually met with my approval!! Could be the BEST in the GTA?! Skin was fairly thin, ductile and chewy, staying intact when picked up! Shrimp and bamboo shoot filling was sweet, juicy and crunchy. Unfortunately, the end result was spoiled by the abnormally huge morsel size which required several bites to finish! Imagine eating supposedly bite size sushi the size of a Hotdog??!! The Steamed BBQ duck and Cabbage dumpling was IMO a piece of false representation. Expecting a slice of Conch as topping, the chef apparently uses a piece of 'Conch Look Alike' King Mushroom instead!! May be acceptable to the generally unaware public, but to Chowhounders??!! This is an insult!
Next, the offering of King Dragon. Presentation in general is more innovative, 'cute' and, in the case of the de-constructed pie, pretty elegant looking for a Chinese Dim Sum. However, most if not all of the dishes were under-seasoned. Taro croquettes was less than delicate. The undetectable, less than pin head size Salted egg yolk topping was a joke!! Lobster dumpling has a thick and chewy wrapper that was tough enough to withstand a few knife cuts!! Filler was pitifully bland! BTW, where is the lobster?? The visually appealing de-constructed pie was a ' no man's land ' creation. Either they should provide more broth for the BBQ bun dough to soak up or the chef should render the broth to the consistency of a sauce. This pseudo, badly calculated, approach was most un-appealing!. Again, taste was extremely bland!! Lastly, the Pumpkin pudding was another disappointment. Mushy on mushy, the overall textural feel was not inviting at all!
Based on the above tasting, IMHO, Casa Imperial still safely retains its position as one of GTA's top, if not 'the top' Dim Sum go-to place in town. As for King Dragon, I will give it a pass for now. Hopefully, if and when more experience are gained by the staff down the road, I will reconsider my current decision.
BTW, for a fine dining establishment, service at Casa Imperial was pretty cold, blunt and unprofessional!! To tolerate Bad Service for Good Food??!! That is the question!!

As remodeling candidates, some houses offer architects more to work with than others. This one? Not so much. "It was the prototypical suburban brick house," says architect Robert M. Gurney, who nevertheless incorporated the original shell in an expanded building that maintains friendly relations with its neighbors while far transcending its humble 20th-century roots.
"We really didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of the street," says Gurney, who with project designer Claire L. Andreas tightened up the Monopoly-piece form of the original house, stretching its first-floor windows from floor to ceiling and wrapping the existing garage wing in patinaed copper. A lean steel-framed front porch ties the two elements, which conceal a substantial addition at the rear. Radically revamped floor plans erase every hint of interior clutter, while modernist detailing applies natural materials in broad, clean strokes. To expand the sense of vertical space, "everything goes to the ceiling," Gurney says—windows, doors, cabinets, even the custom return air grills. "We thought about every inch of this house."
Our judges deemed the result "a pretty dramatic transformation." They were equally taken with the site plan—a tidy composition that culminates in an abstractly simple garden shed with what one declared "the most beautiful stonework we've seen all day."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/8/2010 (2542 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Serendipity can be a beautiful thing.
Or maybe it's karmic, or some cosmic angel dust that is sprinkled on fairy tales, even those where the endings are not always happily ever after.
It's just that once upon a time, a young hockey player stricken with cancer dreamt up an idea to hold a charity shinny game to help fight against a disease that eventually robbed him of his last shift on Earth.
"I see a sold-out rink," Todd Davison envisioned, "where everybody comes together to watch the game and everybody knows they're helping the cause."
The original SuperStar Summer Showdown was a relatively modest affair held in August, 2006 in Selkirk. The core of players were mostly teenagers Davison had grown up playing with or against; a prodigy named Jonathan Toews, a born leader in Mike Richards, a hammer-fisted enforcer in Colton Orr, a stud defenceman named Cam Barker and prolific young talents named Nigel Dawes and Travis Zajac, to name just a few.
They were all just kids, really, and not exactly superstars. Davison was just a 20-year-old himself when the first Showdown was staged. The rink was sold out (about 1,800) and the game raised $50,000 for Cancer Care.
Pretty awesome, right?
"I have goose bumps just thinking about it," recalled Colleen Deckert, whose son, Jesse, was a childhood buddy of Davison. "Todd was so excited. He thought it was going to be this little game and it never was. It was a great thing from the very beginning."
Then something kinda magical happened. As if wishing could make it so, a few of those original players did become superstars. A lot of them won world junior titles. Almost all of them forged NHL careers that are only just beginning. Some of them have already won Stanley Cups.
It's as though they had a guardian angel or something.
Because when the fifth annual SuperStar Summer Showdown takes place tonight at the MTS Centre, it's worth noting that the core roster hasn't changed a great deal from that first night in Selkirk. But, boy, it's amazing what a difference five years can make.
Consider: Toews (who may be sidelined with a strained MCL, but will be available for autographs) is the captain of the Stanley Cup winning Chicago Blackhawks, having captured the Conn Smythe last June for good measure. His opposition in the Cup Final? That would have been Richards, the captain of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Both Toews and Richards were key components of Team Canada's Olympic gold medal team in Vancouver.
The lineup also includes recent Cup winners in Darren Helm and Derek Meech (Detroit Red Wings, 2008) and Edmonton's Dustin Penner (Anaheim, 2007). Zajac is a front line centre with the New Jersey Devils. Orr is the resident minder of the Toronto Maple Leafs, which automatically makes him one of the most popular Buds in town.
In fact, given that Manitoba Moose-turned-Vancouver Canucks netminder Cory Schneider will also be suiting up for his swan song at the MTS Centre today, the roster for Davison's Dream Team would be the envy of many NHL GMs.
How about a No. 1 unit of Toews between Penner, the Oilers leading scorer (a rich man's Dustin Bufuglien) and Washington's Eric Fehr, two wingers from Winkler. Or maybe Richards centering Zajac and Dawes?
On defence we've got Barker (Minnesota Wild) and Ian White (Calgary Flames), both world junior gold medalists and power-play specialists.
Gotta kill a penalty? Helm and Toews, you're up. Trouble brewing? Say hello to my little friends, Orr and Jordin Tootoo (Nashville Flames). Problem solved.
And to think it all began with a group of young local hockey players who always had their friend's back.
"It's pretty amazing," noted Dawes. "When we first started (the event) we were all pretty young and just starting our careers. Now to see the height that some of the guys have gone to. It's a little overwhelming what some of the guys have accomplished over the last few years. And the turnout just keeps getting bigger and bigger."
Deckert and fellow co-founder Glenn Carneige -- another of Davison's hockey buddies who is now a conditioning coach for the Canucks -- have had a lot to do with the "bigger" part. But they still chuckle at what Davison's "Dream in the Goal" foundation has become.
"Todd would get such a kick out of this," Deckert said. "Last year when did it at MTS Centre (for the first year) we were so concerned about our ticket sales. And when we walked into the arena, we had sold over 5,000 tickets. It just brought a tear to your eye. And Glenn and I looked at each other and said, 'What would Todd think of this?'"
And after drawing 5,000 to the MTS Centre last year, there's a good chance they'll sell out the lower bowl today.
Yes, a sold out rink, where everybody comes together to watch the game and everybody knows they're helping the cause.
Todd Davison shot, serendipity scored.

Haven't worked through the details though. An interesting approach. I wonder if there would be a reason to tie such types together for a reason other than just the canonical function? Would you have to define everything in terms of the continuous range, or could it be a constraint hierarchy; e.g. a step size 100 is based on a step size of 10 which is based on numeric?

After finding the end zone 39 times last year, Wisconsin running back Montee Ball is returning for his senior season and the Badgers have his back.
The University of Wisconsin earlier this week launched a Montee Ball Heisman campaign, after the consensus first-team All-American was fourth in the voting in 2011.
Their decision to promote the senior has garnered debate among Nebraska fans whether the Huskers should do the same for their senior running back – Rex Burkhead.
Nebraska in the past has taken the approach actions speaker louder than words – choosing to not promote players at least this early in the season.
While it could be argued that Burkhead is an extreme longshot to the win the award, his numbers and honors suggest otherwise, especially if Nebraska found a way to be in the Top 10 late in the year.
Attached below is BRR Publisher Josh Harvey's thoughts on the subject matter.

it works but something is still missing, not sure how it's called. I used to have a statement of item sales & earnings chart per day. Now I just have the default chart with every sale I made this month and not divided per day so I can't figure out how much I made today, yesterday or anyday. I need to calculate myself each sale be the date.
Hey, have you tried applying Chris's solution above? That should help.
Wow, the first solution works great! Thanks so much @sevenspark!
+1 This sounds great! Like the idea!
Thanks for the update @revaxarts, but mine is still not working. It still does not show up on the setting page. Any idea?
Today, it suddenly stopped working and the Dashboard Plus menu did not show up on my setting page anymore. I tried to install it again but got no luck. Is there anyone experiencing the same?
That's really cool! Thanks for sharing.
8 sales so far.
Wow, that's what I've been looking for! Thanks @Vlajki.
Hi guys,
I only used to purchase the photos from photodune.net but I have no idea where is the right place to find artworks like cartoons, abstract arts, mockups, etc. I just woud like to use them in the theme preview for demonstration purpose.
Could someone help pointing me to the right direction?

As expected, IGN has published the world premiere gameplay video of Dark Souls 2. In the video, game producer Yui Tanimura and Namco Producer Tak Miyazoe talk yuo through 12 minutes of brutal gameplay footage. Surprisingly, though, the video is lacking in depths. Soon....
At first glance, it doesn't appear that much has been changed from Dark Souls; although, Namco has focused on improving the graphical quality for more realistic expressions for everything in the game. While it may be hard to see in the video, a ton of work has been put into the lighting of the game. Dark Souls 2 will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theater
As Western Connecticut State University continues to expand and grow its reputation as one of the premiere higher learning institutions in a multitude of disciplines, it's only natural that the university would be the first in the state to offer a bachelor of arts in musical theater beginning in fall 2010.
With a specialized degree in collaboration with the university's music department, the musical theater program will give students a comprehensive knowledge of and training in all aspects of musical theater. The program will include acting, dance training, individual voice instruction, music theory, keyboard competency, auditioning techniques, voice and diction and theater history.
Theatre Arts Department Chairman Sal Trapani says the program is unique because it offers not only training and performance experience in New York City and internationally but also will provide contact with industry professionals from musical powerhouses all over the world.
"There is no other school in the country that offers the training and the performance opportunities that we do — with a very caring and professional faculty at public university prices," Trapani said. "Western has all the attributes of a small private institution. The hallmarks of our program are professionalism and a commitment to excellence. This is an exciting time for us. The new degree program is going to make us less of a well-kept secret and more of a force in musical theater education nationally."

i Have done an eyelid surgery, cause i was suffering from a full ptosis due to the removal of an optic nerve meningioma. its been 2 month that i have done the eyelid surgery and i see like complete white spots from down and the middle. my cornea is very sensitive cause i lost the sensation in it, can it be that serious?
Why I Do Have White Spots in the Pupil or Sometimes Like a White Shadow?
Doctor Answers 1
See Ophthalmologist For Spots ASAP
I am not sure if you are saying that you see spots in your vision or you see spots on the surface of your cornea, but either way you should see an ophthalmologist AT ONCE to find out why. Spots in your vision (floaters) can be signs of a retinal tear. Spots on the cornea can be a corneal ulcer. Either way, please get a thorough eye exam immediately. The ophthalmologist who performed your eyelid surgery will probably want to see you right away if you call his or her office and describe your symptoms.

Matrix Storage Cubes - Gaiam
2 Recommendations
SaneAmy's recommendation
From family room to home office, you'll be able to "recycle" this versatile eco storage system into a media center or room divider. Raffia of beige and black tones, created from the sustainable Acacia tree, has been hand-woven over a solid Acacia wood frame with a protective lacquer for extra durability. Each unit is sold separately to make it easier for you to customize. Choose from open cube, wine rack cube, storage bin or tray set.
My Collections:
Perfect match for my room. Thanks for a very sane recommendation.
- evaldas
whosdiary's recommendation
"Matrix Storage Cubes" why the name? maybe because the storage cubes are the core from which the whole storage system originates! whatever. anyway this cubes can be recycled and used anywhere from: office, house, school, library.....They are also made from sustainable Acacia trees...

The Populonia Archaeological Museum which is closely connected with the Baratti and Populonia Archaeological Park, is situated in the 19th-century Palazzo Nuovo within the fortified stronghold of Piombino's historic centre.
The museum focuses on the relationship between man, land and resources; naturally, mineral deposits and their exploitation were of primary importance among these. Scale models of various particularly significant items (protohistoric kilns, Etruscan kilns, tombs, and the hold of a ship, evocative of the wrecks found in nearby waters) enhance the exhibition.
Prehistoric artefacts are on display, including a bowl engraved with the figure of a bison, artefacts from excavations at Populonia's Etruscan necropolis, and Roman finds which include the famous silver amphora found in 1968 in the sea between Baratti and San Vincenzo. It is decorated with 134 ovals with figures in relief depicting devotees of the goddess Cibele (Great Mother, goddess of fertility and life-force) and is dateable to the end of IV AD.
The museum contains an experimental archaeological centre; archaeologists from the Baratti and Populonia Park demonstrate how ancient ceramics and stone were worked. Archaeological digs are also simulated, with special programmes for children and schools.

Hawaiian Holiday: Grand Princess Cruise Review by snafyensid
Overall Member Rating
Hawaiian Holiday
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: San Francisco
We flew to San Francisco a day early in order to avoid weather related issues. It was good thing because one hour after we left, they closed the airport and the next day was miserable for all travelers. We stayed at the Tuscan Inn near the port. It was a very nice hotel and convenient to most tourist attractions. We visited Alcatraz and found it to be one of the most interesting museums we have ever been in. The island is very accessible, having a cart that will take you up and down the steep pathway. The rest of the tour is pretty accessible with only a couple of places that are not. It was nice to see the ship as we traveled back and forth to the island. We also visited the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. It is an interesting museum, focusing More on his life and accomplishments. The worst part of the museum is getting there and getting back. Cab service is very spotty and even if you do call a cab, other guests may take it and the cab companies offer little help.
Embarkation was pretty smooth. We waled the 5-6 blocks from the hotel, a flat, easily accessible route. There was a long line but it only took about 30 minutes to get helped. After that it was pretty quick to get on board and to our room. Since we had eaten lunch prior to boarding we didn't feel the need to join the crowds in the buffet (a smart move since the food will get old pretty fast). We noticed that the hallways were a little wider on the Grand than other Princess ships so that a wheelchair could get down the hallway with carts in it. Unfortunately, there was no way to make it down the hallways on the last night, with all the suitcases in the hallway and the such.
We left San Francisco late, well after midnight. We heard from other guests that were disappointed they didn't get to see the ship go under the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the reasons they chose the departure from San Francisco over Los Angeles. The Captain did very little to keep us informed and took very little responsibility for the delay.
Food was generally good though it would have been nice to be warned about the day they decided to display a cooked pig in the buffet, complete with eyes. Needless to say, we lost our appetite that day. We ate most of our breakfasts in the buffet, where the crew were very helpful in carrying trays and finding us a table that would accommodate the wheelchair. We were not impressed with breakfast in the dining room as the servers were rather rude when I only wanted a small breakfast.
Nearly all of our dinners were in the dining room on the traditional dining plan. This was our biggest grief aboard the ship, combination of the design of the ship and the need of able-bodied to refuse to walk down stairs. The Botticelli Dining Room is located on the 6th floor and is only accessible via the aft stairs or elevators. To make matters worse, there are only two elevators that serve the sixth floor. Many people who are able to walk up and down stairs chose the elevators instead, resulting in some long waits for us to get to dinner. We learned to give ourselves at least 15 minutes to wait for an elevator and that going up to the 14th floor and then catching one of the two elevators to the 6th floor was sometimes the best way to get there. Unfortunately, we did not have any other options on the way up. Patience was the name of the menu for dinner. Once we did arrive, the food was very good and beautifully presented.
We were pleased that there lots of lectures and things to do during the day, especially "at sea" days. Lectures about the island history, geography and animal life were all very interesting. Movies under the stars had pretty good movies, though not overly attended.
Disembarkation was mostly smooth. There is always a lot of grumbling about the process, especially from people who think they know better and think they should be catered to. Princess asks people to be out of their cabins by 8 am but with the last group leaving at 10 am, it will leave lots of room for grumblers. Princess provided an accessible van for our airport transfer which was very much appreciated. Less

Cabin review: B302
Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Our room steward, Hector, was very helpful and made sure we had ice each day and was around if we needed him but didn't bother us otherwise.When we arrived we noticed our air conditioner did not work properly so we asked ship maintenance to fix it. Well they did and just about cooked us. It took four different requests for them to come back and fix it so that we could actually have air conditioning and adjust it.
Port and Shore Excursions
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the island and the route along the way. We stopped at the Mauna Loa factory (a big disappointment-mostly a store and not very wheelchair accessible) and then the Dole plantation (again a disappointment as it is pretty much a store with Dole merchandise, no exhibits or cultural information at all but completely accessible). The view from the visitors center was excellent even though it rained off an on throughout the day.
Polynesian Cultural Center
Garfield, our tour guide, was an excellent host and driver. The drive along the north beach was especially beautiful. It was a little disappointing not to stop at the LDS Temple to take pictures as the tour description indicated. The Polynesian Cultural Center was beautiful. We saw a few shows and they were wonderful. The staff were very helpful. PCC was very wheelchair accessible.
We arrived back to the dock with plenty of time before the ship left so we walked around the Aloha center (pretty much empty).
Waimea Canyon
A pretty disappointing tour. The canyon is pretty overrated, not much to see, even after pushing the wheelchair up[ the long, steep pathway. The stops along the way included an overlook in the middle of the coffee fields, a souvenir shop, and a res stop along the beach.
After returning to the ship we had plenty of time to take the free shuttle to hilo Hatties to purchase some Hawaiian clothing. We noticed a number of shipmates also taking other free shuttles that Walmart and k-Mart provided, along with the local bus system. There is very little to see or do at the dock.
This was the port we were mostly concerned about since it was tendered. The policy of Princess is that if the weather is too rough, Princess will not tender wheelchair guests, so we were reluctant to reserve an excursion that might be cancelled with no resource or refund. The night before we read the tender would not allow wheelchair on board but the next morning they did allow collapsible wheelchairs on. The tender crew were very awkward in where they seated us, requiring a disabled passenger to stand in order for them to affix the boarding ramp as we got to the dock in the city. The trip on the way back was uneventful.
Lahaina is a charming city with plenty of shops and restaurants. We were able to find a nice whale watching excursion which was priced much less than Princess was offering. Not only were their whales, dolphins and flying fish observed, but the while boat was wheelchair accessible. Kudos to the Pacific Whale Foundation for a memorable trip! This is a company we will definitely do business with again if given the opportunity.

Power Generation > Bi-Fuel Generator Sets
Bi-Fuel Generator Sets
The only true bi-fuel system, Generac's Bi-Fuel generators, are EPA certified from the factory. Other bi-fuel systems are aftermarket systems retrofitted in the field. Generac's Bi-Fuel system components are specifically engineered to integrate together, with full warranty and service support included.
- Industry only factory built and tested Bi-Fuel product.
- Operates on a combination of Natural Gas and Diesel Fuel.
- Extended run times.
- Automatically operates on diesel fuel only, if natural gas is lost.
- Bi-Fuel generators use the combustion of natural gas and diesel fuel in a typical standby generator engine. Initially, the generator engine operates 100% on diesel fuel. As load is applied, the system adds natural gas to the combustion air stream. The natural gas/air mixture provides additional power and the engine management system automatically scales back the amount of diesel being injected into the combustion chamber. The resulting product enjoys the advantages of diesel and natural gas.
- Scalable for larger systems or redundancy with MPS.

Most people understand that public servants, especially politicians, serve the people and part of their service includes following the law according to their oath of office, but Republicans reject the law when it contradicts ultra-conservative think tanks funded by wealthy industrialists Charles and David Koch. The Constitution is clear on how legislation becomes the law of the land, and one expects elected officials to reject special interest groups demands when they oppose established law, but over the past four years Republicans have demonstrated their disdain for the Constitution when neo-conservative think tanks have a different agenda.
The Affordable Care Act was hotly contested after it passed both houses of Congress and President Obama's signature making it a legitimate law, and after it was upheld in the Supreme Court, one thought Republicans would finally accept that it cleared every legal challenge and begin implementing provisions at the state level to help 20-30 million Americans get access to affordable health care. One of the mainstays of Willard Romney's campaign was his promise to repeal the ACA on his first day in office that not only displayed his ignorance of the repeal process, but also his lack of concern that millions of Americans would once again be at the mercy of the predatory health insurance industry and suffer from lack of healthcare. However, Romney's defeat was not the end of the battle over the ACA and, as expected, Republican governors are doing the bidding of the Koch Brothers to frustrate the health law's implementation.
The Koch Brothers think-tank, Americans for Prosperity, handed down a warning to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for not rejecting provisions in the ACA to submit health insurance exchange plans ahead of the health law's full implementation. Republicans were already furious with Christie for praising President Obama's rapid response to the super-storm Sandy that ravaged parts of the East Coast last week, and now the Koch Brothers are pressuring him to reject a New Jersey exchange bill to rebuff the ACA's requirement before a November 16 cutoff date for states to set up health insurance exchanges. If states fail to set up the exchanges, the federal government does it for them and the provision gave individual states leeway to set up a healthcare marketplace according to their resident's needs.

Are there reasons for the difference? Is it because input-port cannot be written to? But since the string & bytes variants all generate new output, that will seem to be the same for input-port source anyways.
