Show Detailed Description
Within large number of patients with obesity, it is crucial to determine who is at the greatest risk for development of chronic heart disease. The investigators previous studies suggest that an excessive accumulation of fat in heart cells precedes the development of obesity-related pathologies and may serve as a biomarker of heart disease in high-risk population. Until now, the evaluation of fat in the human heart was possible postmortem or by biopsy. The investigators novel magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique enables the quantification of intracellular lipid content non-invasively and repeatedly in humans in vivo. It could be used to better screen and treat obese patients at risk for the development of metabolic disease. The investigators hypothesize that in obese humans with elevated myocardial triglycerides, treatment with Nebivolol will reduce myocardial fat and will improve heart function.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Nebivolol
Nebivolol (Bystolic® by Forest/Mylan) is a third-generation beta-blocker; it selectively blocks β1-adrenergic receptors and increases peripheral vasodilation.
Drug: Nebivolol
Day 1 - Patients will start Nebivolol 5 mg PO daily; after one month, if the subject has tolerated 5 mg PO Nebivolol, the dose will be increased to 10 mg PO daily. If the patients is unable to tolerate 5 mg PO Nebivolol, he/she will be discontinued from the study. After six months, medication will be tapered to 5 mg PO daily for two weeks. Medication will then be tapered to 2.5 mg PO daily for two additional weeks.

This is located in the Proper Countryside. You can tell this by the usual methods: you have to get there via a long, winding route; there is a plethora of Hunters wellies and low level, approach and trekking boots; the toilets, though scrupulously clean, are outdoors with no radiators; there are an inordinate amount of country artefacts on display; and, there are people from Cheltenham dressed like Sherpa Tenzing.
This, indeed, a place for the hardier soul in the winter. Access with a wheelchair is damned near impossible. To reach the cafe you have to weave your way via a tortuous route through the shop, where everything is stacked high and crammed in a sort of artful trying-not-to-be-touristy way. Once out of the shop access to the cafe entrance and terrace is up a flight of steep steps. Not good for wheels but fine if your new tablets are having a positive effect with a Drew following close behind in case of emergency. The effort is worth it. The setting is glorious, right next to the mill pond with requisite ducks and swans, view of fields that is so textbook Cotswolds, down to the red telephone box, your eyes actually hurt. Seating is concrete moulded benches and chairs although cushions are available on request.
As it was cold we went inside. As befits its status as Proper Countryside, there is no central heating and the seating is pine benches and chairs. The food, however, makes up for everything. I had an egg mayonnaise sandwich. Not the usual chunky egg-and-mayo combo, but slices of boiled egg drizzled with mayonnaise. I was so dazzled I forgot myself temporarily and said yes to the watercress and forgot to refuse the salad. That was a decent portion of leaves, fragments of pepper, cherry tomato and cucumber heavily drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Drew wanted the roast beef and horseradish sandwich but, as is the wont of the small, independent establishments there was no beef left. He opted for the soup, which was tomato. This was fantastic and I missed out by not having it. Served in a deep crock pot and of a consistency and texture that best deserves the appellation 'broth', this was packed with vegetables and flavour. We identified peas, carrots, butterbeans and there was an aftertaste of aniseed suggesting fennel as the herb of choice. The accompanying bread was, appropriately, chunks of brown granary with two generous triangles of butter, not margarine. For £5.25, this was a meal in itself and, if you are of the rambling/hiking persuasion would be ideal. Coffee was pleasant, thirst-quenching but we may have missed out by not opting for a pot of tea which looked to be served in a large pot with a decent amount of milk.

'CSI' Fans Attempt to Block Jorja Fox's Departure
Fans of TV drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have started a grassroots online campaign to persuade departing castmember Jorja Fox to stay.
Fox announced she was leaving the show in an interview with TV Guide magazine last month, sending shockwaves through the program's avid global fan base.
Her character, Sara Sidle, is a fan favorite and Web site DollarsForSense.com has been asking fans to send in letters voicing disapproval over Fox's departure.
The unnamed fan behind the site then promised to forward on the letters to producers.
He has already live up to his word–producers claim they've received over 3,000 unhappy letters from Sidle fans.
Fox has been a regular on the show since 2000. She is quitting in November after failing to agree terms on a new deal.

Reds make McCleary a priority
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cotterill admits persuading the in-form Garath McCleary to pen a new deal has become a top priority for the club.
Last Updated: 22/03/12 12:07pm
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cotterill admits persuading the in-form Garath McCleary to pen a new deal has become a top priority for the club.
McCleary has netted seven times in his last seven appearances, with a four-goal salvo against Leeds on Tuesday inspiring the Reds to a remarkable 7-3 success at Elland Road.
Unsurprisingly, his performances have started to draw admiring glances from afar, with potential suitors aware of his contract situation.
The 24-year-old's current deal at the City Ground is set to expire in the summer and no extension has been put in place as yet.
Cotterill is keen to address that issue as a matter of urgency, though, and is hoping discussions will be opened in the not too distant future.
"At the end of the day, I am not in charge of contracts," he said.
"I don't know if anyone is at this moment in time but there are too many players who have been allowed to get into a position where they are going out of contract.
"In the past we have had the money to deal with that, but we don't have that now.
"We need to make sure we secure things with him sharply.
"He has a habit of giving me the odd dig in the ribs in the canteen after training but, if he wants to keep punching me in the ribs for another two or three years at Forest, I will be very happy with that. Hopefully we can make that happen."

In the timeline of my life, I have two "
During Savannah Period I, I spent much time attending my alma mater, Armstrong State College—which has undergone a lot of changes over the years. It is now known as
This is sort of a roundabout way to introduce today's post—while attending ASC, I decided to squeeze in a film class one quarter…and the nifty thing about this was that once you took at least fifteen hours of courses, any additional hours didn't cost extra. I enrolled in the class primarily due to curiosity and in the hopes that I might broaden my film horizons.
I have only a hazy recall of the films that the instructor showed in the class; I remember it was the first time I saw John Huston's Fat City (1972) and Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948), and other movies included That Cold Day in the Park (1969; a curious Robert Altman film that I haven't seen turn up on any cable channels since), The Thief (1952; for which the instructor later apologized after showing it), The Pumpkin Eater (1964), Mickey One (1965) and the Carl Theodor Dreyer classic Ordet (1955). The teacher had been illustrating a number of film techniques by showing clips of Dreyer's La passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928), so I guess he decided to include an entire Dreyer effort in the bargain.
Ordet is the story of a Danish farming family overseen by widowed patriarch Morten Borgen (Henrik Malberg), whose reputation for challenging religious orthodoxy in the tiny conservative hamlet frequently outrages its inhabitants—particularly tailor Peter Petersen (Ejner Federspiel), who has refused to give Morten's son Anders (Cay Kristiansen) permission to marry his daughter Anne (Gerda Nielsen) due to Morten's "heretical" beliefs. Borgen has two other sons: Mikkel (Emil Hass Christensen), an agnostic married to wife Inger (Birgitte Federspiel) and father to two daughters, Maren (Ann Elisabeth Groth) and Lilleinger (Susanne Rud)…with one on the way, as Inger is "great with child." The remaining son is Johannes (Preben Lerdorff Rye), a scholar of Kierkegaard who's been overcome by madness to the point where he's convinced he's Jesus Christ. Inger experiences great difficulty when the time comes to give birth to her child; she loses the baby and then joins the stillborn child not long after. Mad Johannes has made a promise to young Lilleinger that he can raise Inger from the dead—but when he regains his sanity, does he have the necessary faith to follow through?
I remember that Ordet received a rather derisive response from the class when we watched it—and I'd be remiss if I didn't admit that I myself found the film's premise risible (though the only "catcall" I succumbed to was in a scene in which Johannes returns to the farm after having gone missing for some time; I think I remarked, in Ed McMahon-like tones: "Heeeeeere's Jesus!"). This reaction didn't endear us to the instructor, who dismissed us as little more than "plebes"—but I did, after class, admit that I was part of the scorners and that this might have been due to the fact that I was a) an agnostic, and b) familiar with a movie that had a similar premise but went the opposite way as a jet-black satirical comedy (I am, of course, referring to Peter Medak's The Ruling Class [1972]). While he gave me credit for being honest, I lost a lot of leverage in the class because I simply couldn't warm up to the film. (I remember that the essay final we had to complete allowed me a little redemption; he noted that while he thought my arguments were bullshit, they were well-written bullshit. I'm a bit fuzzy on what the essay was about but it had something to do with whether or not you felt movies that relied on editing and montage were more "realistic" than those utilizing a stationery camera; I argued that films who relied on a static camera technically weren't films but recorded stage plays.)
Since I hadn't seen Ordet in roughly twenty to twenty-five years, I recorded it off TCM the other night and sat down with it yesterday, looking to see if maturity (mine) might change my perspective. Sad to say, I'm pretty much of the same mind—which can be interpreted as either I haven't matured or the movie wasn't very good to begin with. I'm pretty sure it's the former—but while I can cotton to some films that deal with the subject of faith, Ordet isn't one of them; I couldn't help but wonder if they had bothered to take the deceased Inger to an undertaker…and if they hadn't, why she hadn't gone a bit ripe in the meantime. Granted, I don't dislike the film—it's a powerful piece of filmmaking with some images that tend to remain in the memory (an example of this is the scene where Johannes leaves the house to "preach" in the fields; passing a clothesline where laundry has been hung to dry it has a rather ghostly effect, what with the gray sky and all), and I particularly like the juxtaposition of the acrimonious conversation between Borgen and Petersen in which they argue about what seems to be miniscule differences between their respective faiths (they both worship the same God—why should there be any disagreement?) and a similar exchange between the parson (Ove Rud) and the family doctor (Henry Skjær), whose differences are far more pronounced (the doctor believes strictly in science) and yet the tone is playful, not rancorous. (It's also interesting that when Johannes announces that he will resurrect Inger, it's the man of God who pronounces him crazy…while the physician holds the pastor in check.)
My best friend from high school and I were talking on the phone Sunday night and when she quizzed me as to whether there was anything worth watching on TCM, I mentioned that I was kicking around the idea of staying up to see Ordet, since it had been so many years since the last time I saw it. Well, the old body clock starting whispering it was time to hit the hay around 1:00 am (which is why I ended up recording the movie) but my friend stayed up to see it—and chewed me out two days later. She claims I neglected to mention that the film was a foreign film and that she was infuriated by the fact that she had to "read" the movie. Which reminds me of the time when I once recommended The Thin Blue Line (1988) to a
Ballbuster Blockbuster customer, only to have him return the movie and complain: "There ain't nothin' but talkin' in it!" (So Ordet is now known here at Rancho Yesteryear as the film where "There ain't nothin' but readin' in it!")

Assuming you are OK with dating a girl with a kid, would you be more willing to want to be with her if you met the kid, and spent time with them together, or wait to meet them and hang out with just her. How long would you want before you met the kid?
Most Helpful Girl
In this situation it's important to find a happy medium. Too early on and you risk having a random stream of guys meeting your child which sends the message of instability. Plus you might scare off the guy you're trying to date. On the other hand, you wait too late and you may find out the your child and the guy you're dating don't like each other. By that point you've established feelings that can be hard to let go of for the sake of your kid.
Best advice is to find a medium between the two. Not in the first couple dates, but before it gets serious.00|00|0

Jan Meslin and Lee Marie Sanchez, Local Unitarian-Universalist Activists, To Appear in Phoenix Court for Anti-SB1070 Protest
After the Catholic Worker, my favorite batch of religious folks are the various Unitarian-Universalist (UU) congregations in Orange County. I've spoken at the Fellowship at Laguna Beach, will speak at Tapestry in Mission Viejo next weekend, and have long-haunted the Anaheim congregation. They are about as progressive as religious folks can get, welcoming LGBT, illegals--basically anyone on the right side of morality.
As proof of that, Anaheim UU Consulting Minister Lee Marie Sanchez and Tapestry congregant Jan Meslin were arrested last summer in Arizona during an anti-SB 1070 protest.
Next Friday, they return to the land of Arpayaso for a court hearing to face charges. Our prayers are with them...

28 Aug Help Joseph Arthur Recover His Van and Missing Items!
Musician Joseph Arthur Teams with (Big Lebowski) Lawyer Ron Kuby to Locate Van/Artwork/Musical Equipment Auctioned by the City of New York.
"I want a f-ing lawyer, man. I want Bill Kunstler, or Ron Kuby." – the Dude
Famed civil rights attorney Ron Kuby has agreed to represent musician Joseph Arthur and help him locate his touring van filled with musical equipment and canvases of his artwork. The van was secretly auctioned by the City of New York on August 23, and Joseph has no rights to his property.
"Lord knows there are more important things in the world than a missing van with some art and amps in it," says Joseph. "There has been a heartening outpour of support, and it has deeply been appreciated… I will rise above this and one day laugh at it. Thank you all again for your enormous support. It means a lot."
While Joseph was overseas, his touring van (usually kept in gated parking) was in the repair shop. The repair shop temporarily moved the van to the curb where it was seized by NYC Marshal Robert F. Soliminie for $361.10 in unpaid parking tickets that Arthur believe had been paid.
Here's a picture of the missing vehicle: 2003 van, Dodge Ram, white.
• 1970s Fender Twin amp in a blue road case with JAYHAWKS stenciled in white lettering.
• Eden Traveler bass head
• Ampeg 4 X 10 cabinet
• Joseph's nearly-completed set of hand-drawn tarot cards
• CD recorded for recording live shows, two mics
• CD burners — two towers
• Many large paintings rolled up in canvas

Included in this set are 19 of each of 5 custom designed tokens: Sheep, Grain, Brick, Wood and Stone (Ore). You can either put them all to one side and keep them in front of you with your cities and roads as you collect them from the "bank", or better yet put them right out on the board on the tiles representing the origin of each resource! Imagine an island resplendent with sheep-filled rolling hills, wheat-filled fields, dark wooden forests, brick-laden cliffs and ore-rich quarries! Pull the resources directly from the island and open up your playing world! Dump the cards and play like real island settlers!
1) OK so this sounds cool but what about keeping your cards hidden?
No problem at all, you just keep one hand over your tokens, or put a small folded blind up if you thing thats tough. There are tons of games where you can keep money or victory points hidden and thats how its always done, just keep a hand over your pieces or any object in front of your tokens.
Our focus group played this way several times and its no worse than holding cards, and much much easier if you happen to be a brilliant 6 year old who is great at Catan and terrible at holding cards!
2) What about the robber, how do you have someone randomly select a resource for stealing when they can see what you have?
Dealing with the robber is no worse than the many, many games where you have to select a starting player at random (like you do for Kingsburg, Stone Age, Powergrid and others). What do you do then? Put a token of each color in someone's hand and have someone randomly choose with your hand in the air, or simply shake the tokens in 2 hands and randomly drop one out to the table. The same thing works just fine here.
If that doesn't appeal to you then you can line the pieces up from say 1-7 and have the person moving the robber simply turn around and pick a number at random. The other players can watch to ensure there is no cheating involved.
Really the tokens speed the trading and distribution of resources so much that the extra 5 seconds the robber may take is totally offset and then some.

|May 11 1990
|Physical Information
|United States of America
|Artist Information
|Art Focus
|Digital art
|Serial Artworks
|Knite; Fisheye Placebo
Wenqing Yan was born in the Chinese province of Sichuan. Her mother left China for the USA when she was five years old. Yan lived with her grandparents for the following four years while her father was away on business trips. When she was nine, she left China as well to join her mother in America.[citation needed]
In spring 2008 she graduated from Monrovia secondary school and in autumn 2008 started attending UC Berkeley, in the Bay Area of California.[citation needed]
Wenqing Yan's artistic style is influenced by Japanese animation and comics. She cites Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, anime series like Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Neon Genesis Evangelion, the 1960 film Inherit the Wind and the novel The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain to be her biggest influences.[1]
In spring 2009, Yan made her first major project, 1000 WORDS, a one-shot web flash comic. It was then that she realized her goal to become a comic creator and thus, through art, try to make a difference for the better. What followed next was Knite, a webcomic focusing on the pollution in China. Its widespread popularity throughout the internet led to the interest from various publishers. The story was published in 2013 and can be purchased at local conventions in California. Still, it remains available to be read online for free.
Her other works include Fisheye Placebo (ongoing) and Project WE (on hold). Like much of her work, Yan's illustrations are often inspired by creative freedom, life experiences and knowledge gained through education and training. Project WE was put on hold as she began working on current issues and related themes dealing with the environment, social science and cyberculture. Her gallery of illustrations revolve around similar themes depicting environmental pollution and society. Yan has been credited for participating in an online event called GO GREEN which brought awareness of environmental issues to the online community.
In addition to following current events and assisting global awareness online, Yan's collection of artwork is available in prints offline at conventions! Nature lovers and animal-rights advocates can appreciate the detailed work of Elemental Wolves, which acknowledges the unjust act of wolf slaughter with hopes of bringing an end to the cruelty. Among other tangible resources include her publication of Knite, the Augen Auf card collection, digital paintings in print and specially designed eco bags.
Many of Yuumei's paintings and concepts for future projects can be viewed on DeviantArt and Facebook.

Hardy and fast growing, Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila) is sometimes marketed as a quick hedge. There are advantages and disadvantages to every plant, but gardeners should think twice before planting Siberian elm.
The two principal advantages of Siberian elm are hardiness and rapid growth. The species is cold-hardy to USDA hardiness zone 4, although several cultivars are hardier than that. Growth rate is extremely fast, more than 18 inches per year. The tree eventually reaches a height of 50 to 70 feet.
Siberian elm has numerous disadvantages, including extreme susceptibility to insect, disease and herbicide damage. The wood is brittle, causing limbs to split from the tree during storms. The shallow roots lift and crack sidewalks and patios. Siberian elm suckers freely and is hard to eradicate from the landscape. The tree is considered an invasive pest in some parts of the country.
The University of Tennessee recommends planting Chinese or lacebark elm (U. parvifolia) in place of Siberian elm. Other fast-growing hedge trees to consider are Leyland cypress (x Cupressocyparis Leylandii) and Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana).

Technology Update - FirstShowing is Running on a New Server
by Alex Billington
July 11, 2010
I'm sure a few of you have noticed that we've been experiencing some tech troubles recently, with downtime and server lag issues, so we decided to fix all those problems once and for all change our server and web host to Liquid Web. As of now, our domain is pointed at the new server and the DNS updates are propagating throughout the world. However, since this is a pretty big update, if you notice anything out of the ordinary, anything that doesn't seem right, any tech problems, glitches, slow loadtimes, other website-related issues, please get in touch with Alex directly at this email. Let's debug this sucka' and get her running at full speed!
If you notice different versions of the site, with posts missing, that change back and forth, I suggest clearing your cache (for Windows or Mac) as that will help get you the new DNS information quicker. We are hoping that this new server will provide a more stable, faster, smoother, better viewing experience for all of you, our readers. We also hope that the transition to our new home was entirely flawless, but there are always minor hiccups and tweaks to be made, so please let us know if you find anything out of ordinary. We appreciate all feedback you provide. Coming up soon is Comic-Con! Awesome server photo courtesy of "Herkie" on Flickr.
Note About Comments: Due to the server switch, some comments may randomly disappear or reappear over the next day (Sunday) until we finish tweaking things. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

Good AM. Sharing my Day 5 with you which ended up being less then picture happy as I wasn't not feeling to well, but the pictures that I did get made me smile :
For my pictures I started off w/one of my favorite breakfast are you saying WHAT in Heaven's name is that. Well its the most awesome tasting thing EVER. It consists of 1 little Laughing Cow- (low fat swiss cheese) and 1 tsp. of Apricot Jam from Trader Joe's and 5 Ak-Mak Crackers (I found then at Trader Joes) its so filling and I love them because its 5 pts Weight Watcher Points for the whole thing.
Ok so it looks semi funny but TRUST me you'll be wanting to eat this daily! I also include a banana and I am full until almost late in the afternoon. I had to get my Ram in my pics because its seems I can only get that boy either playing baseball or by luck. I decided this would be a day I spent w/him so I took a pic of him sleeping Ha (he gave me the look when I showed him that pic)
Later in the afternoon I told him to get dressed and lets go out, of course he said where are we going, I remember when he was younger he never asked just got up and got excited.. Oh just about to be a teen thing huh? (13 in September! EEK)
I love Groupon.com and I had gotten a deal a while back for movie tickets for $2.00 and so I used those up for our little trip.
We were going to see Harry Potter but turned out that the online times and the theaters were messed up. We could have watch Captain America which I really thought he was going to choose but instead he got all excited and said Lets watch Cars 2. Of course I thought he was kidding but NOPE he wanted to watch it and so we did.
It turned out to be a cute movie and my nephew who is about to turn 4 is the BIGGEST Cars fan but I don't really thing he would have enjoyed it as much as he had the 1st in my opinion because it was more plot and talking but it was good.
We headed home and for dinner we had Turkey burgers and just relaxed for the rest of the evening. Today is Saturday and its looking like a very,very low key day. Ram left to my SIL until tomorrow and Sweets is still sleeping (he is so his father's child) Ms. Sassy is off in Barbie world as for me.
My back is feeling funny, wanted to go for a run but don't want to push it.
Hoping for some happy mail although I tracked it and its looking like maybe Tuesday (my new memory for my camera) I wanted to head out w/the kids to try it out but we shall see. Hope you enjoy your Saturday and thank you so much for stopping by!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Consumer products companies have long relied on subtly reducing package contents as a way to raise prices without, well, actually raising prices.
So a 16-ounce box of cereal might suddenly carry 14.6 ounces in the same box, without any change in price. Or a pint of ice cream might be filled to 14 ounces, the missing 2 ounces topped up with nothing but air.
The trend may be picking up now as consumer product makers try to balance rising material costs with customers that are reluctant to pay more at the cash register.
Earlier this year, spice maker McCormick & Co. (MKC) began putting less pepper into its signature red-and-white tins (its medium size can, for example, went from containing 4 ounces to 3 ounces). A rival sued, claiming the practice was deceptive and gave McCormick an unfair advantage.
Here are a few other products in your shopping cart that might feel a bit lighter lately.

Does a disabled child have to live in the home in order to protect the home from being considered in qualifying for Medicaid or can he/she live elsewhere?Additionally, what is the legal definition of a disabled child?
First, the answer to your question depends on which Medicaid program the applicant is applying and several other factors. Under New York law, a certified disabled child must live in the Medicaid applicant's home in order for the home to be considered exempt as a resource in qualifying for Medicaid, and to prevent a lien from being placed on the home while on Medicaid. A better option may be to consider a transfer of the home to the disabled child. A transfer of a homestead to a certified blind or disabled child in New York is not penalized.
You should speak to a qualified elder law attorney before making an application for Medicaid or transferring any assets. Medicaid eligibility is a very complex area of the law and many different factors affect Medicaid eligibility.

Nathan's ALL ABOUT ME Poster
Nathan had his first big project (he has one every month) sent home in late August and was to be turned in the day they came back from Labor Day. When you look at it, you don't really think it is a lot of work... but, we spent A LOT of time on it, hours! I wanted it to be perfect, we did glitter on the stars, a lot of different mediums (colored pencils, crayons, markers) to add interest, etc. I am excited to say he got a perfect grade on it, yeah! He had to present 3 parts of it to the class, we practiced: I am special because I like coins, Favorite Animal: Frog and something I like to do at home: playing He-Man. He told me he DIDN'T talk about He-Man in class, even though we had practiced it. He talked about his favorite food, instead- apples... he was afraid no one would know what He-Man is!
I wanted to share a close up of some areas on the poster... this is Nathan's coins... we put the coins underneath the poster, and he took a crayon to rub over it to show the coins detail. Nathan collects coins. He rubbed over a regular nickel, a coin from a train station in Paris and a coin that was around before Jesus was born!
Nathan also wanted to show his favorite animal is a frog. Nathan has two pet frogs, Henry and Mater. We did a blue watercolor to represent water under the green crayon frog.
These show that Nathan loves Math (he loves googol, there is a book on it I saw for children that I need to get him) and He-Man.
We can't wait to see what October's special project will be!

Canada:The True,North, Strong, and Free
Pride & Prejudice: Canada's International Legacy
I can't believe it's July 1st again tomorrow! Here's to another year for our nation of Canada :) To be honest, now that our country has turned another year older, I feel it's best if we just reminisce for a while about what went down in our nation's history, right? Let us reminisce the moments that made us feel proud to be part of Canada, as well as what our country has done that is frowned upon.
The Best of Canadian Moments
Event 1: Vimy Ridge Battle (April 12, 1917)
Okay, so what about the infamous battle at Vimy Ridge? I mean, think about it: this historical battle is already so popular in our society that it's practically an icon and it should make us all proud to be part of the Canadian family. Why do you ask? Well, I'll tell you!
First off, this event took place while we were still only a small colony controlled by our mother Britain. They entrusted us, and our people's intellect and skills to help and support them during what's known as the First World War. That's a pretty big deal if you ask me. Plus, what makes this successful victory even more exciting and thrilling is that we, a nation who was still not one of the top developed countries in this world yet, were facing one of the 20th century's superpowers, aka Germany. They had access to a lot of resources and excessive troops that we didn't exactly have ourselves, but with the help of our famous Canadian General Arthur Currie, we were able to come out with a victory. In fact, the Battle of Vimy Ridge was the one battle where our four Canadian divisions were able to cooperate as a consistent collaboration. This was also where our troops managed to execute successfully the offensive of a creeping barrage, gaining the upper-hand of the battle already on the first day. Lastly, we should be proud of this war victory because of the truth that we, a supporter of the worldly superpowers at the time, managed to defeat the opposition while the almighty Britain and France's combined forces had a worse outcome than us. The battle even made a huge impact for our country that it was made into a memorial, in order to remember our nation's significance in the battle. I guess this is the point where you can say where even the little things can make a huge impact on our world.
Event 2: Officially Bilingual (September 9, 1969)
A second historical moment for our country should none other be than the day that our government was able to declare Canada as an official country that housed two official languages. We would be known as one of many homes for the French and English cultures, and soon many more.
Ever since the momentous September 9 of 1969 to the present day, our Canada was proudly granted the status of recognition as an official bilingual country, with English and French being those two very languages. Why French and English? Well, the obvious reason is, of course, that we were a British colony, whose language was English. We were also colonized by the nation of France, in which some of our colonies being declared as the "New France" here in North America. However, before the official granting of our country's bilingualism, the idea of Canada allowing the speaking of two languages in the first place can be found all the way back to 1867, where those very rights were found in the 133rd section of the British North America (BNA) Act, where it had granted the two languages used in entries, records, and debates at Parliament. But nonetheless, this rule had led to many protocols where bilingualism was becoming more and more of a realistic value until 1969 where it did come true. Even now, the languages of French and English are not the only spoken languages in Canada anymore, ever since our large country has welcomed people of all cultures to inhabit its rich lands and soon enough we, as a Canadian society, had become a proud diversity of many cultures, religions, beliefs and values.
Event 3: Welcoming Immigrants (1976)
We, who have made up the entire Canadian society would've probably already noticed that we are a society that's not just made up of one culture, but a society of multiple cultures. That's what gives us the pride to call ourselves a diversity, but exactly how did this start? Well, the main point in which the constructing of our diverse communities was even made possible was all due to one value: Immigration.
How immigration can be seen and taken to heart as one of Canada's many achievements is that during the Holocaust period and the time-span when Pearl Harbor had been attacked, Canada was still in the loose state of racism, especially towards the Canadians who were known to be also of Asian culture as well. We seized and sent these fellow Canadians to internment camps which, despite being less harsh than the Nazis' concentration camps, still bestowed hard struggles for the people. However, it came with the accomplishment that young Japanese Canadian men had been able to serve our country well in the Canadian Army as well as the later events in Canadian history where the Immigration Act of 1976 had been introduced and made legitimate. Plus, the allowance of newcomers to Canada had given both sides many benefits, such as the newcomers having new opportunities to explore and gain to live a better lifestyle, while the Canadian community are able to use their many talents and work ethics to bring even more service and support to the country, which all in all, is a positive result for everyone. Overall, immigration has broken down the boundaries and limitations of just having pure Canadians and their effort, but letting other people from around the world share their talents with our natives and country as well.
That's Weak, Canada.
Event 1: So it's Because We're Women, Isn't it? (1928)
Other than the positive aspects of being a Canadian and being in Canada, which is shown in the previous three events, there are also the negative aspects that are paired with them too.
One of these negative outlooks include the declaration in 1928 when Canadian women were seen as people who apparently couldn't handle the responsibilities that came to working in the public office. This issue was most likely to be related to section 24 of the BNA Act, stating that qualified persons were only allowed to be appointed to the Canadian Senate. Unfortunately, the "persons" excluded women and this belief had continued for a while, in which men were the picture of office workers while women were the stay-at-home stereotypes. But! This belief was soon to be changed when a group of empowering women from Alberta, supposedly known as the "Famous 5" as shown above, had signed a petition and by October 18, 1929, the Supreme Court of Canada and Britsh Privy Council were able to change just that. The shameful point about this, in my point of view, was the detail of the government directly insulting the women of Canada by saying we were not able to handle the public office. But looking back, we are able to show them just what we are able to do, from reaching a high position on the government, to participating in the Olympics. You Go Girls!
Event 2: FLQ Violence (1970)
While there had been many disagreements and protests, especially referring to the statement of politics, in our history, I see no other cause that looked as terrible as the "Front de Liberation du Quebec," or for short, FLQ outbreaks.
Having originated due to the Quiet Revolution's changes in both the Quebec society and national politics, it sparked a controversy in many Quebecois, who refused to sit and wait for the change of peace to be done for them. This led to the FLQ's creation and one of many problems that rose in what was known as the October Crisis. Now, what was so bad about this event? Well, instead of verbal protests on the political grounds as what some riots such as these had originally done in the past, the FLQ had taken it to the next level with violence. Even having the guts to hire international allies that specialized in militia, the FLQ saw no reason to back down from getting what they desired. Their cause was of something relevant to separatism as they had wanted to separate from the rest of Canada to create an independent Quebec and even build a communist-based French worker system. If that wasn't difficult enough to handle, the FLQ then decided to kidnap two of Canada's significant figures who go by the names James Cross and Pierre Laporte. The outcome of this occurrence was Laporte's murder due to the unsatisfied speed of meeting the term agreement quota and because of this, the War Measures Act had been invoked. This event was truly horrible enough for some Canadians to be shameful of some of the Quebecois just for this having happened, especially to the unnecessary sheer acts of violence placed in innocent communities and homes.
Event 3: NAFTA (1994)
The last event of negativity that has happened in our country is the outcomes of what NAFTA, a free trade agreement, had done to many workers across Canada, as well as its other members, the United States and Mexico.
NAFTA, or the North American Free Trade Agreement, was made into an agreement between Canada, US, and Mexico on New Year's Day in 1994. Now, Canada had already had their fair experience with the idea of free trade when they had first made the Autopact with the USA, but they believed they can help the increase in their economies' growth become larger and open up more opportunities for their citizens, which is how NAFTA came into existence. However, the details that had made NAFTA become one of Canada's humiliating events is that while along the way, NAFTA had done its job for them, it went downhill from there for many citizens, which was especially pointed out by economists. For instance, one of the results that affected Canada, despite having maintained a steady growth in their companies and economic development, at least more than 10 000 of their companies had later been taken over by foreigners as well as 98% of Canada's foreign investments. Another negative side effect due to NAFTA was that many of Mexico's farmers had to shut down their businesses because of the Americans' subsidized products that replaced their original farm products, as well as having put 682 900 workers out of employment due to the increased manufacturing movement of US industries to Mexico, since the price of labor was more cheap there.
Still a Proud Nation.
Even if Canada had been able to prove themselves worthy from the time we fought to win long-lasting wars to being involved with granting international rights, and even when we messed up along the way with unsteady benefits and harsh political demands, we should still be able to say we're proud Canadians, regardless of what race we came from or what history our resident province had been through. The saying goes, "Nobody's perfect," and that's what Canada definitely is. Overall, Canada may be a top developed country who's made many mistakes and even good support, but that's what truly makes a country, a great country.

text: But even in those solitary experiences we are communing with the rest of humanity, past, present and future. Music is, in part, an expression of our participation within our species, a collective unconscious, if you will. That aspect shows itself very powerfully in the way we consume music in society. We want what other people are having. We want to crowd Met Life Stadium to sway and scream to Bruce Springsteen along with 50,000 other humans. We want to be on the dance floor within body-heat range of a few dozen others for a Lady Gaga song, our senses almost overwhelmed as we become part of the song, part of the physicality of that human collective. We want to be packed into a warm theater for a symphony or an opera where we share the same air with the live musicians and where we keep a polite distance of sometimes mere fractions of an inch from each other's bodies. That proximity makes the music better because music is at root, a collective experience; it unifies, turns us into a tribe. We aren't merely listening; we participate. By expecting that we want a skin-tight, individualized musical experience, Pandora is ignoring that most powerful aspect. Last night, I experienced an example of where Pandora's individual tailoring breaks down. I was out to eat at a small, intimate upscale seafood restaurant with my family, an electric guitarist quietly playing jazz in the corner. When the musician went on break, the staff switched on Pandora over the loudspeakers. What came out was some awful Beyonce song, followed by something I didn't recognize that sounded a lot like the Beyonce song we had just heard, followed by Rihanna's anthemic drinking song Cheers (Drink to That). It was almost enough to make me get up and walk out. Had it been traditional radio, we wouldn't have heard three such closely related (and bad) songs in a row; if you didn't like Beyonce, the next song might have been Adele or Justin Timberlake or even Stevie Wonder and you could go oh well, that's not so bad. Thankfully after about four songs, the guitarist came back and the trashy music stopped.

– Nic and Murray Scarce, Double Bay .
To anyone who is looking for a professional to photograph their perfect wedding day memories; without hesitation, I would recommend that you use Sam Crawford. The brief we gave Sam for our day was to capture before, during and after shots but with as little 'posing' as possible. We wanted real life expressions, movements, moments, reactions and we asked for a lot of specifics. Sam was insistent we went to the location and we discussed our requirements intently beforehand. But, on the night, we didn't even know he was there; an absolute professional.
The memories Sam has given us of our day are out of this world. 110% over and above what either of us could have dreamed of. Sam's attention to detail on all our photos is second to none and because of him, we can look back in years to come and we have every precious moment caught on camera! Please look under 'Nic & Murray's Wedding' on Sam's website Portfolio and see for yourself.
I posted some photos on Facebook and the reaction from our friends is sensational; we've had comments like 'Wow, it looks like an OK! shoot', 'the best wedding photos we have ever seen' etc. The Tea Rooms Gunners' Barracks have also requested Sam's details from me so they can put him on file for other couples wanting a great photographer. Should you need to talk to me about Sam's professionalism or work, please ask Sam to put you in contact with me.

In the README.txt it still says to install CKFinder at ./sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckfinder.
When updating to ckeditor 1.5, and still having CKFinder at ./sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckfinder (while the CKEditor library is at ./sites/all/libraries/ckeditor) things seem to become confusing.
For example
function ckeditor_perm() {
$arr = array('administer ckeditor', 'access ckeditor');
if (file_exists(dirname(ckeditor_path(TRUE)) . "/ckfinder")) {
$arr[] = 'allow CKFinder file uploads';
return $arr;
is looking for CKFinder under ./sites/all/libraries, because dirname(ckeditor_path(TRUE)) returns ./sites/all/libraries.
I **guess**, that when having the ckeditor library under ./sites/all/libraries, one is expected to also have ckfinder under ./sites/all/libraries?
Furthermore, when CKFinder is at ./sites/all/libraries/ckfinder, the "require_once '../../../../../includes/filemanager.config.php'" command in ./ckfinder/config.php does not work anymore.
I specified the full path like "require_once '/var/www/....../ckeditor/includes/filemanager.config.php'" to make it work.
Where is all this documented, if anywhere?

Thx for notice this , we will check this. I think there is some bug in documentation. CKEditor looks CKFinder in module's directory.
Comment #2nelslynn CreditAttribution: nelslynn commented
Any other hints? Does CKFinder go in libraries or in the ckeditor module folder? Wouldn't it be best in libraries so the module can be updated easier??
I tried to modify includes/filemanager.config.php line and still doesn't work.
Comment #3mkesicki CreditAttribution: mkesicki commented
CKFinder should be subdirectory in CKEditor's directory. So if you have CKEditor module in sites/all/libraries/ckeditor it should be sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/ckfinder or if you have CKEditor module in sites/all/modules/ckeditor put CKFinder in sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckfinder.
Integration of CKFinder and CKEditor module is described in readme file attached to CKEditor module.
Comment #4nelslynn CreditAttribution: nelslynn commented
Have you tried this, because it does not work.
Here's my config straight from the README:
- CKFinder (downloaded from the http://ckfinder.com/download) is in the /sites/all/modules/ckeditor folder.
- CKEditor (downloaded from http://ckeditor.com/download) is in my /sites/all/libraries
- ckedior module from Drupal.org is in /sites/all/modules folder
- Add file edits have been done.
When I try to upload an image, or browse the server for an image via the ckeditor WYSIWYG, I get "Page Not Found", and the URL is: http://mysite.com/sites/all/libraries/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Images...
SO, why is the finder trying to look in /sites/all/libraries when ckfinder folder is in /sites/all/modules/ckeditor? Where can I tell ckfinder to look in the /sites/all/modules/ckeditor folder? Where is it grabbing this WRONG URL? What might I check??
See the first comment.... it's not working for either of us when following the README.
Thanks for any direction.
