Racetrack and Slots one step closer to end of life span
The provincial government is directing the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to implement changes to its system, which could have more than noticeable impacts to Fort Erie and its largest employer.
On Monday, Ontario's finance minister Dwight Duncan held a press conference in Toronto to highlight a new 'strategic direction' that would involve a modernization of how the OLG operates.
The government has directed the OLG to implement a number of proposals such as a reconfiguration of the number of gaming sites and a tailoring of the types of activities made available at each site.
The one recommendation that has officials in Fort Erie shaking their heads is listed as a stoppage of annual payments to the horse racing industry by ending the Slots at Racetracks program by the end of March, 2013.
Other recommendations include a new casino in the Greater Toronto Area and the launching of multi-lane sales of lottery tickets at major retail outlets, including grocery stores.
Duncan says the changes will create jobs and support schools and hospitals across the province.
"We are focused, more than ever, on balancing the budget while continuing to provide the best education and health care in the world. Modernizing the OLG's operations and business model is an example of how we are ensuring our assets are delivering the greatest value to taxpayers," said the fiance minister in a press release.
The Fort Erie Racetrack is about to start its 115th season in May under the third and final year of it being operated as a non-profit organization that receives $5.6 million per year from the province to keep it open. This resulted in the formation of the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium (FELRC), comprised of representatives from the Fort Erie Economic Development and Tourism Corporation (EDTC), the Town of Fort Erie and the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Agency (HBPA).
Chief executive officer of the FELRC, Jim Thibert, who is also the EDTC's general manager, expects more will be known about the long-term situation when provincial politicians deliberate Ontario's budget at the end of the month and the recommendations brought forward by the finance minister will be voted on.
With a Liberal minority government, Thibert hopes other New Democratic Party and Conservative seat holders in the provincial legislature will challenge the recommendation and strategy for the OLG.
"Just because the government of the day wants to do something, it doesn't mean they can," said Thibert.
Following the comments made by Duncan on Monday, Thibert said there are "absurdities" that lie within the recommendations.
He feels information valid evidence on the economic impact of the proposed changes should be made available, along with more detail about how the strategy would be implemented.
If the racing industry in Ontario does crumble under the government's power, along with slots facilities that are attached to racetracks... it could mean about 65,000 jobs would be lost.
"That doesn't seem to be a very good start," said Thibert.
Although he couldn't make any predictions on what the future may hold...Thibert says the tracks and slots holds the best chance at staying alive if members of provincial parliament challenge the minister's recommendations.
"They're either going to cry wolf and run like hell and let the Liberals do what they want... or they're going to stand up and demand the government changes its policy."
What also concerns Thibert is the lack of conversation there has been between the minister's office and representatives from the horse racing industry or people from the individual racetrack-slots facilities in Ontario.
There should have been some consultation and there hasn't been."
Niagara Falls member of provincial parliament Kim Craitor says he is committed to finding a solution for the historic track and doing so is something he is familiar with, being part of striking the deal that has kept the facility open until the end of the 2012 season, which was long before the facility's financial woes began.
When it comes to gaming, Craitor says the racetrack simply would not be able to survive if the slots were removed, since it counts on the ten per cent of revenue it receives from the slots co-existing next door.
"There's not enough people that go to racetracks anymore," said Craitor.
Prior to the slots being added to the mix in 1999, Craitor said many horsemen were hesitant about its merits because they felt it would take away from the amount of patrons at the track.
"It really wasn't supported by the horse racing industry at the time," said Craitor.
Like many other officials in the area, Craitor says he will do what he can to keep the track going for more than just the upcoming season.
"I'm going to keep trying to find a way to keep funding this racetrack."
Mayor Doug Martin said it was no surprise that Duncan followed up with this recommendation, when it was first suggested after the release of the Drummond Report earlier this month.
"We had a feeling it was coming," said Martin, who also scoffed at the timing of the announcement, when many people are away from their desks during March Break.
Martin said if this recommendation does move forward, it would be devastating.
"He's going to cut the heart out of an entire industry and cut the heart out of Fort Erie," he said.
Fort Erie, along with the other 16 municipalities in Ontario that host slots facilities, are dependent on the revenue it generates for operation, infrastructure improvements...also providing a cushion for the general levy.
Martin also feels these changes being part of a plan to build a new casino in Toronto, points to the province playing favourites with the big city.
"They want to give everything to Toronto and say 'hell' to all of rural Ontario," said Martin.

Yes, that's right, another movie about the War on Terror and how shitty it's all going from Hollywood. This time it's D.J. Caruso's "Eagle Eye", which, according to Movie Hole has nabbed a big name in Billy Bob Thornon, who may or may not be playing one of the agents (the other being Rosario Dawson) who pursues Shia LaBeouf (playing a slacker) and Michelle Monaghan (playing a single mom), two non-terrorists mistaken for being involved in an assassination plot by some terrorist scumbags. The whole thing is supposedly based on an idea by Steven Spielberg, so I guess it should be good. Right? Um, I don't know, but I'm guessing that if Spielberg has an idea for a movie and he wants someone to make it, then by God someone is going to make it — good or bad.
Billy Bob Thornton was last seen starring in comedies that no one has seen, including "Waking Up in Reno", "School for Scoundrels" and the recent "Mr Woodcock".

What others say about us
I have been to daily Yoga classes with Ashish for about a month in India, Rishikesh. I loved every single class and always looked forward to the next. Ashish has been a wonderful teacher, sharing his knowledge, passion and love for Yoga ttc in Rishikesh every teaching. Thank you Ashish, the experience has been so great that I keep thinking back and missing India, Yoga and the energy there. Keep doing what you are doing to inspire more people
Hey! I could write millions of nice words on you, but I keep it short and cool Ashish is one of the most significant people in my "yoga life history"! I am so happy and grateful I got to practice with him, he is a wonderful soul and a great teacher! He is so skilled and passionate about what he practices and teaches, and he really knows how to pass that on with his own personal style of humor, disciplin and hard work.
Ashish is an amazing yoga teacher. He is very patient, persistent and inspirational. Ashish teaches in a way that students of all levels can understand and uses effective demonstrations and explainations to help students get from where they are to achieving the goals they are desire. His passion and belief gave me motivation to keep going when I felt challenged.

Today marks the beginning of Lent, when many Christians sacrifice things they enjoy for about 40 days. Experts say the benefits can go beyond the spiritual and can even lead to permanent lifestyle changes.
HEALTH BENEFITS: Some studies have touted the health benefits of light to moderate alcohol use. However, a glass of wine could pack 160 to 200 calories, so cutting out a glass or two a day for 40 days could result in the loss of up to five pounds, depending on metabolism, said Kristen Middleton, a clinical dietitian with Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics.
FINANCIAL SAVINGS (based on a $12.99 bottle of wine, one glass daily)
DAILY: $3.05 - Weekly: $21.35 - Yearly: $1,110.20
HEALTH BENEFITS: Within 24 hours of quitting smoking, the chances of having a heart attack decrease, and the ability to smell and taste is enhanced within the first two days, according to the American Lung Association. Within one year, the risk of coronary heart disease is decreased to half that of a smoker, and after five years the risk of stroke is that of a person who never smoked.
FINANCIAL SAVINGS (based on $3.69 per pack of cigarettes, 17 cigarettes daily)
DAILY: $3.10 - Weekly: $21.71 - Yearly: $1,129.31
HEALTH BENEFITS: A high-fat meal such as a steak can increase the amount of triglycerides, a measure of fat in the bloodstream, by 150 percent within six hours, according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The short-term benefits of giving up red meat are unknown, but red meat has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and colon and breast cancers.
FINANCIAL SAVINGS (based on beef at $9.99 per pound, 6-ounce portion three times per week):
DAILY: $3.74 - Weekly: $11.22 - Yearly: $583.44
HEALTH BENEFITS: A 12-ounce cup of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino can run about 250 calories, with 40 grams of sugar. Cutting out a daily pickup could result in the loss of one to two pounds, or up to five over the season, Mrs. Middleton said. A better option might be a 12-ounce cup of unflavored black coffee, which has less than 10 calories (about 40 calories with two tablespoons of cream).
FINANCIAL SAVINGS (based on $4.32 cup of coffee, one per day):
DAILY: $4.32 - Weekly: $30.24 - Yearly: $1572.48

The New York Times 10/22/11
Suite 211
10001 New York
BravinLee programs is very pleased to present a new work on paper by Guy Richards Smit.
Mr. Smit mines his brooding absurdism as a performance artist, front man, artist and filmmaker. In his many guises, Mr. Smit is a provocateur with the heart of Jean Seberg and the soul of Pat Cooper. Over a decade ago, merely playing one of his Grossmalerman videos had the effect of ending a dinner party at John Post Lee's apartment-- before the main course was served. Other attempts by Mr. Lee to show Mr. Smit's reel to small groups of art world folks had similarly chilling effects. Years later, after Mr. Smit's reputation had grown, one of the guests at the dinner party apologized for not appreciating and understanding his significance. True story.
The work in this show comes out of his "New York Times front page " series. As an artist Smit has always loved telling stories and the form of the New York Times front page allows him to indulge his grisly dark humor and harshly political side with comic visuals and the factual banality of "the news." Here, for the first time, he moves on from the front page to produce the entire New York Times creating, ultimately a sculptural monument to the dead act of newspaper reading. An internal monologue and a running commentary on issues large and small, public and private. You could almost swear the pages were tear stained.
Guy Richards Smit's work has been seen at biennials in Havana and Valencia and at ARCOMadrid in 2008 and Dublin Contemporary in 2011. Solo exhibitions include Grossmalerman! Schroeder Romero & Shredder, New York, USA 2011; Fred [London] Ltd., London, UK 2009; Nausea 2, Premier Series, Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA 2004; QED, Los Angeles, CA in 2006. He has received awards including the Penny McCall Foundation Award in 2004.>

White marble from Anniston's Wells Fargo for sale
An Anniston landmark is becoming parts of patios, kitchens, and bathrooms.
The Wells Fargo building on Quintard Avenue is coming down, and workers are carefully removing the white marble exterior.{} The large stone panels are for sale.
The bank originally planned to toss them in the rubble, but{}salesman Keith Howland{}saw the opportunity to re-use the material.
"Some of them are big enough for counter tops and all sorts of miscellaneous projects," Howland said.
"Some people are buying them as souvenirs and cutting them up as paperweights because of so many memories from the building."
Howland said this type of white marble sells for $30-$40 per square foot when new.{} The{}salvaged pieces{}from the bank{}are for sale for $3-$8 per square foot.
There are some companies and contractors interested in buying large quantities of the marble,{}but Howland said he is only selling to the public at this time.
He does not want to make commitments to contractors until all the marble is down and they know how much there is--since panels could break during demolition.
If you are interested, call 256.493.1085.

The Food Network is minus a star this week, after its much-publicized decision Friday to fire well-known host Paula Deen. The move came after Deen, whose restaurant is being sued by a former employee for racial discrimination, admitted in a deposition last month that she has used racial slurs, and had proposed a "plantation-style" wedding for her brother.
Deen's fans, it's fair to say, haven't reacted to her firing well. Several websites have collected some of the more unfortunate tweets- historically dubious references to Deen having been "lynched" are frequent, as well as the defense that, you know, "who hasn't used racial slurs"? Many have pointed out that Deen appears to be a registered Democrat, as though that has any bearing on anything whatsoever. Most of all, I hear over and over again that it was because of "political correctness" and "censorship" that Deen no longer has her job.
Now I'm not here to opine about the quality of a Deen as an entertainer or TV host, and I have no interest in discussing her weight, her health status, or the merits of her cooking. And I also do not wish to cast judgment on the American South, its people, or its food traditions.
I'd instead like to address what Deen's firing says about free speech and "political correctness." Namely, there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about what the words "censorship" and "political correctness" mean, and they don't appear to mean the same thing they used to mean.
"Censorship" is when a person's speech or expression is suppressed by force. If you performed a standup routine and as a result the police came and arrested you, that's censorship. If you performed a standup routine and someone wrote a blog post claiming it was sexist, that is NOT censorship.
"Political correctness run amok" has always been generally understood as a misunderstanding or extremely minor incident that's blown way out of proportion in which someone suffers punishment they don't deserve, along the lines of the infamous "Water Buffalo" incident at the University of Pennsylvania in the early '90s. There's a fine line between that sort of thing and actual racial slurs, racial taunts and discrimination which can- and should- have consequences.
A big reason everyone turned against political correctness in the first place is because of its bastardization of language. But now the term "political correctness" has itself been bastardized- as far as I can tell, its current definition is "any pushback whatsoever against racism and bigotry."
When Strom Thurmond died 10 years ago, I distinctly remember Joe Scarborough- then working as a Bill O'Reilly-aping primetime host on MSNBC- saying on the air that Thurmond "often held views that weren't politically correct" As though opposition to a man who was the 20th century's leading proponent of racial segregation, and one of great villains of American history, was nothing but a bunch of liberal whining.
More recently, we had the saga of Chink's Steaks here in Philadelphia, a story that more than one out-of-towner I've told about it didn't believe was true. The cheesesteak shop was founded in 1949, by a gentleman who was not of Asian descent, but was nicknamed "Chink" due to his "almond-shaped eyes." The store kept the Chink's Steaks name for the ensuing 60-plus years until, earlier this year, a new owner took over and decided to change the name to Joe's Steaks & Soda Shop.
A whole lot of Philadelphians blamed the dreaded PC. "I mean, he's ignoring the 10,000 signatures on the petition to keep the name?," one angry resident told the Philadelphia Inquirer in April. "Now, he's giving in to political correctness!" In actuality the owner, who has aspirations of expanding to other parts of the city, decided it was both the right thing and good business sense to no longer use a full-on racial slur as the name of his business.
That's the case with Deen as well. Her bosses made the decision to no longer be in business with her, which is their right. If I were to, say, give a radio interview during which I showed up drunk, propositioned the female host, and dropped several racial slurs- if I did a Charlie Sheen impression, in other words- there's a pretty good chance I'd be suspended or fired from my job as soon as my bosses heard about it. If that happened, I wouldn't be a First Amendment martyr- I'd be an idiot who ruined my own career.
This is what the "PC Police" decriers don't get. The PC Police isn't actually the police. In more authoritarian countries today- and at various times in America's past- governments really have cracked down on "subversive" artists. Consider Lenny Bruce, or Pussy Riot, or Bassem Youssef, the "Egyptian Jon Stewart." But feminist bloggers slamming Daniel Tosh for making rape jokes, or pundits complaining about Seth MacFarlane's Oscar routine? That's not censorship, that's criticism.
Because the "PC Police" doesn't have the ability to subpoena, arrest, or prosecute, they must make do with less lethal tactics such as strongly worded criticism, as well as boycotts and petition drives. Those things certainly have their place, although it's important to know that in Deen's case, that's not what happened.
I saw no organized campaign anywhere to get Deen fired from the TV network. A petition, begun last year, to get Deen dropped as a spokesperson by a drug company drew a whopping 48 signatures, and did not succeed.
The chain of events was: 1. Deen made racist comments, 2. Deen was sued by the ex-employee. 3. Deen gave a deposition in which she admitted to her use of racial slurs and 4. Once the contents of the deposition were made public, Deen was fired by Food Network. The government wasn't involved in the decision. Neither was Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or any organized pressure group of any kind.
If anything, it seemed to me there was a lot more online and grassroots agitation in support of Paula Deen rather than against her.
Once again, the First Amendment does not guarantee one the right to host a Food Network show. And there's nothing unconstitutional or censorious about a company choosing to no longer be in business with someone who has embarrassed them. That's what happened last week, when a radio station in Atlanta fired three hosts who decided to broadcast a "comedy" segment which mocked a former NFL player, Steve Gleason, who has late-stage ALS.
Freedom of speech does not guarantee freedom from the consequences of that speech. When one is accused in a legal proceeding of racially harassing an employee, that's not a First Amendment issue. Whether Paula Deen remains employed by the Food Network is an issue that's between Paula Deen and the Food Network.

I bought this Sony walkman from Argos, the price was good at only £24.49. Very stylish, nice colour silver. Nice blue digital readout, but sadly lacking a backlight for night time use. The FM frequency tuning goes up and down in .5 increments instead of .1 I thought that Sony would have covered this. The mega bass is very very good indeed, this walkman included a "Hold" feature so you cant accidently change channel. The manual is pretty good and clear to understand. The walkman has the usual ST/MONO swith and also NORM/Cro2Metal switch and included is a seperate swith AVLS NORM/LIMIT this when in operation can cut down on a high noise. The cassette itself is excelent I have had no problems at all using the tapes I have got recorded or pre-recorded. It has 40 presets 35 for FM and 5 for AM in Europe I cant find a mode to change to Canadian like I used to have on another walkman some years ago. The frequencxe range in European mode is from FM 87.5-108 Mhz and AM 530-1602 Khz or if North,Central and South America 531-1710 Khz. All in All a very good walkman and excelent for its price.
I haven't written anything on electrical equipment before and my knowledge of such things is severly lacking - Mr Bennetts fault, sorry! - so I'll try and make this read as appealing as possible. Enjoy... If you've read my opinions earlier you'll see that for my birthday I got the new Basement Jaxx album, Rooty as well as the Sims PC game. I've written about both so it seemed only fitting that I wrote an opinion on my main present. A Sony Walkman. Considering my previous Walkman munched through batteries, couldn't tune properly and could only seem to pick up Classic FM - no offence to anyone who likes this but its not for me. I was eargerly anticipating using this... DESIGN Sony have been making electrical goods for many years so stylistically they have experiance. I dont know if its me but the recent Sony releases are full of Silver. They have cottoned onto the fact that is very appealing for many people - its now the most popular car colour too. I too like the colour as my TV and my radio is that colour. The silver facia is appealing and stands out as unique, while the shiny element of the chrome around the screen adds effect. The large rubber buttons are easy to touch and read and nice to use. The translucent tape holder completes the effect. QUALITY Sony are renowned for the durability and quality of its products - Playstation 1 is a good example. But recently the standard has dropped - Playstation 2 is a good example. And although this looks good, I cant help but feel it could do with a bit of improving. The tape side of the walkman looks good but the cover is thin and flimsy and could snap anythime. The silver paint job is also poorly done, because it scratches easily on the edges of the facia creases. Quite dissapointing. And the battery cover has fallen off a few times too. USABILITY Everything is easy to use and read although you may have to resort to the manual to
understand what to do. However, it does what a walkman usually does and although it does nothing new it is a simple design. THE TUNING The previous Walkman couldn't tune anything except Classic FM as I have said before, but this time this model - the WMFX277 - has digital tuning. Of course on a journey through the counties it can be a bore changing the stations it is very good and very quick at letting you find your station again. The blue screen is nice but dark and it doesn't have a light so therefore is pretty useless in the dark. THE SOUND QUALITY The sound quality is brilliant. The advantage of digital tuning means that it is fixed into one station and wont slip between other close ratio numbers. This means you are in control and in a stationary position it represents fantastic quality. The volume goes up very high - drowing out other peoples voices - but I dont advise you listen to it full blast for too long as it hurts after a while - coming from past experiance! VALUE This was bought at £39.99 - although it was dropped £10 a few days after my birthday - and I think it is good value for money. I really like the sound and the ease of use but I was a little disapointed by the quality of the actual product as I have already explained OTHER FEATURES Although this Walkman breaks no new ground it houses some nifty little features which help more than you'd think. For instance the limited volume button is similar to a Cruise control system on a car and helps keep the same volume and not blow your brains out! - sorry I'm exaggerating! The Mega Base button helps enhance the feeling of a rocking beat. The hold button is quite clever because it means that you cant change the station or the settings if this button is on. This helps stop you knocking the buttons and changing something. However, my favourite button is the digital reader on the screen indicating the amount of ba
ttery power left like a mobile phone. This is great as I have numerously been left on a long journey when my batteries have run out and I have none left. OVERALL I am very glad I have got this Walkman, because it is something I can take with me and listen to my favourite music without trouble. I take it to school and listen to it there and when I'm walking to and from school. It seems ironic then that I finally get a decent walkman and in the next few days I'm to get a personal Mini-Disc player after winning a competition on my local radio station, Vibe FM. Oh well, I may write about it soon but only if you like this op, leave a comment and if you like it please tell me. Thanks! BODIE

I have had the MM Tag Maker for several years but I rarely used it. The templates that came with it were terrible and I never got the paper to look right. Now that I have the Slice and this design card I am so happy. I use the Tag Maker all the time now. The cuts are perfect and exactly the right size. I have not had one problem with it. Way better than before.

While the designs on here are nice, as far as being the correct size for the Tags used with the tagmaker, the tags are a little too big. I have yet to use this and the tag rims without having to trim a little off the sides. But, all in all this is still a good card.

Political News - Conservative Views - Education - Solutions
The Liberal mindset, it's all about Control!
It all began, reports the Wall Street Journal, with "the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act championed by first lady Michelle Obama and her 'Let's Move!' campaign" against childhood obesity. That law imposed strict new nutrition standards on schools participating in federal school meals programs
"The law also required the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to set standards for all food and beverages sold during the school day, which includes vending machines, snack carts and daytime fundraisers,"
As of July 1, these requirements are also enforceable on fundraisers and other school-day activities, with states having the power to assess fines on noncompliant schools. That means, for example, that "buttery, salty popcorn" is out, "Kernels sold on site during the day must contain no more than 230 milligrams of sodium per serving until 2016, when it drops even lower. No more than 35% of calories in an item can come from total fat." Needless to say, nearly all baked goods and candies fail to meet the standards and thus will be banned; some schools have already prohibited the sale of boxes of Girl Scout cookies. And because homemade food doesn't come with nutritional labeling, "the result of the new requirements may be more processed-food products,"
Why should the Government not control the calories you put into your body, after all your weight has to do with your health, and as Obama care uses tax dollars to pay for health care it is now a government responsibility to ensure proper use of tax dollars.
We must realize that parents are too stupid and lazy to properly monitor their child's dietary intake, they often cannot control their own, Look at the need of New York city to limit the size of drinks and snacks for adults, just to force them to limit their salt and sugar intake.
We must remember it is not just for the kids, its about control.
Rep. Mike Honda, (D-CA) submitted bill, H.R. 5344, The Responsible Body Armor Possession Act, it would place a ban on what it terms 'enhanced body armor.' This type of armor as referenced in the bill's language would include any wearable armor including helmets or shields that offer a ballistic protection of Type III or above as determined using National Institute of Justice Standard–0101.06. The only exceptions to the prohibition would be for law enforcement, military and government agencies.
Type III and higher body armor is commonly available both new and used throughout the country. Recently companies such as Bullet Blocker have even made efforts to produce school safety equipment such as bullet proof backpacks, whiteboards and children's-sized nylon jackets up to NIJ Type III ratings aimed to protect youngsters from active shooters. They also sell suit jackets for businessmen that are type 3 protection, the latest in fashion on the streets of Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and New York city for the active, on the go CEO. They also provide bullet proof cases for iPads, notebook computers and full leangth briefcase shields that can be quickly opened and used as a protective cover. All designed for quick protection of individuals in an active shooter situation.
But the Liberals do not want to protect you, they want to control you.
See it is all about manipulation, making people behave in a certain way. You cannot control their thoughts yet, but you can control their actions; maybe… This was a thought from back in the 1970's Equal Opportunity programs, it does not matter if you are a bigot, you just cannot act like one. Actions could be punished, thoughts could not. Speaking is an action, so it must be controlled and regulated; now words become criminal and punishable.
Race baiting became profitable, a legalized form of extortion, so profitable it created a whole new industry and Government regulatory agencies to enforce it.
Its all about control.
This leads us to Foreign policy. The same mindset that criminalizes Girl Scout cookies, bans device that actually protects honest citizens, and justifies race baiting for fun and profit, is now the same mindset that controls our foreign policy decisions. Immature, asinine and reckless decisions based on appearances and wishful moronic thinking. Not reality.
Many wonder why we have such problems in the world. It is because we do not have responsible adults leading this country, we have "a race of wannabe Masterful Overlords"; a group of professional Politicians who only care about one thing; Control.
What do Cupcakes have to do with Foreign policy?
Its all about control.
God Bless.
Just my thoughts for today.

Hugh is right, more emphasis on control than on education. We give our children to the public schools for 12 yrs and so many come out stupid, destroying their bodies and minds with junk. It is possible to send them into the world with a positive outlook as I have proven with a character building program that is non intrusive to the school program.
Hugh, Nice post. Agree it is about control. Dang I wanted a Twinkie while reading this.
For sure many American's are over weight. I rarely eat potato chips but when I do I want the original kind -- not the more healthy ones. I drink very few sodas but when I do I can't tolerate the diet sodas.
I suspect when the school day is over the kiddies hit fast food and local groceries to camel up on what has been banned. Heck they may be sneaking a Snicker candy bar in to the school campus.
When gov't tries to control I assure you that there will always be a business for those who can fill a need/want.

Release Notes: This release adds support for XML XInclude. It adds features for creating empty directories in the output. There are some bugfixes.
Release Notes: This release adds new CSV file loading options, automatic ignoring of Subversion directories, better UTF-8 BOM handling in textual data files, and some further bugfixes.
Release Notes: This release adds an important bugfix in the TDD parser and a new data loader to load TDD files that store a sequence (list) rather than a hash (map).
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug with the "sources" setting that mostly caused problems for the FMPP Ant task. The new "tagSyntax" setting of FreeMarker 2.3.5 is now supported.
Release Notes: This is a maintenance release that contains various bugfixes, smaller new features, and manual improvements.
Release Notes: The "csv" data loader now lets you define the columns with data loader parameters instead of using the first row of the CSV file. A new data loader, "slicedText", has been added, which loads a text file as a sequence of strings that are separated with the text (e.g., comma, line-break) specified as parameter.
Release Notes: This release contains some bugfixes and documentation fixes, and was updated so the new features of FreeMarker 2.3.1 are enabled.
Release Notes: This release introduces a new setting by which you can <#include ...> and <#import ...> files that are outside the source root directory. Thus, you can store your common (project independent) FreeMarker libraries in a singe place, outside the source root directories. Mistakes in the Manual and the API JavaDocs have been fixed.
Release Notes: This version adds a new file processing mode: "renderXml". When a source file is processed in this mode, it's parsed as XML, and then the parsed XML document is rendered (transformed) to output file(s) by a FreeMarker template, which is chosen based on the path and/or the document element of the XML document. Also, there are minor fixes and improvements in the documentation.
Release Notes: This release improves the fmpp.setting.Settings Java API and features bugfixes for the XML markup outputting facility (myNode.@@markup, myNode.@@start_tag, etc.).

After a run of bad weather we decided to weather watch before booking anywhere. At the last minute the weather cleared and at a days notice we booked up to go to Newperrin via pitch up. We checked out the park and the area even an arial view via google maps. The park was amazing with all facilities you could want. Everything was clean and tidy and would go again without a second thought. A disaster with the tent was quickly solved when the owner gave me directions to a local camping shop who sorted us out with a replacement pole. Loved it and can't wait to go again

Bay likely has concussion after sliding into wall
Bay likely has concussion after sliding into wall
Bay's head and right shoulder appeared to strike the wall after he dove onto the warning track in an attempt to catch Jay Bruce's inside-the-park home run leading off the second. Bay did not move for several moments, before eventually getting to his feet and throwing in the ball.
Justin Turner, who went 1-for-4 in his second rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Friday night, will come to Citi Field on Saturday in anticipation of a roster move to place Bay on the disabled list.
Bay missed the final two months of the 2010 season with a severe concussion after slamming into Dodger Stadium's left-field wall. He also missed six weeks earlier this year with a fractured left rib, the result of a diving play at Citi Field.
"I felt terrible for Jason," manager Terry Collins said. "As he always does, he plays the game only one way -- all out. Never backed off anything, didn't back off the wall, didn't back off the broken rib. He still dove and still played the game the only way he knows how."
Bay told Collins he felt dizzy in the moments after the collision. He was taken out of the game and was replaced by Scott Hairston, who belted a two-run homer in the seventh.
Collins said Bay's situation is now similar to that of Mets catcher Josh Thole, who landed on the seven-day disabled list earlier this season with a concussion. Thole had previously sustained a concussion two years prior playing for Triple-A Buffalo.
"It wasn't that this one was more serious than the others, but since [Bay's] had it in the past, this becomes a pretty serious thing," Collins said.
Bay is batting .187 with four home runs in 22 games.

Value distribution theory of holomorphic functions
This article does not cite any sources. (August 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In mathematics, the value distribution theory of holomorphic functions is a division of mathematical analysis. It tries to get quantitative measures of the number of times a function f(z) assumes a value a, as z grows in size, refining the Picard theorem on behaviour close to an essential singularity. The theory exists for analytic functions (and meromorphic functions) of one complex variable z, or of several complex variables.
In the case of one variable the term Nevanlinna theory, after Rolf Nevanlinna, is also common. The now-classical theory received renewed interest, when Paul Vojta suggested some analogies with the problem of integral solutions to Diophantine equations. These turned out to involve some close parallels, and to lead to fresh points of view on the Mordell conjecture and related questions.

Temperatures today made a nice climb into the mid-50s, before clouds and a modest wedge of cooler air sunk in, dropping us back into the 40s. Temperatures start rising again towards morning ahead of a dynamic cold front that will push a line of heavy showers and possible thunderstorms through the region between mid-morning and around noon.
Through Tonight: The air this evening is cool and a bit clammy, holding in the 40s. In the hours preceding dawn, strong southerly winds feed into the area boosting temperatures into the 50s. A stray shower can't be ruled out (20 percent chance), mainly after midnight.
Tomorrow (Friday): Breezy and very mild when you get up and head out as temperature close-in on 60. But between about 10 a.m. and noon, from west to east, shower and storms sweep through the region. Heavy rain, gusty winds and even the rumble of thunder are possible. A few damaging wind gusts, over 50 mph, cannot even be ruled out as the squall line comes through. The odds of severe weather are highest southeast of I-95 towards Southern Maryland. By 1 p.m. or so, the showers exit the region, with sunshine emerging by mid-afternoon. Temperatures hold mostly in the 50s. Winds from the south early in the day at 10-20 mph (with higher gusts), become out of the northwest in the afternoon.
More information: Gusty squall likely late Friday morning into early afternoon

Severe weather outbreak in Tennessee Valley, ongoing: The same front that will bring our gusty storms Friday is producing tornadic thunderstorms from Tennessee into Illinois. Several tornadoes have already touched down in Illinois, and there are several active tornado warnings in Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and southeast Illinois.

This is the Mission Viejo store off the 405 near Oso Parkway.
In the front of the store before the register are four blue bins filled with games. Much of it is crap. However, I saw the following:
PSP Jeanne D'Arc 14.99
360/PS3 Stranglehold 19.99
Wii Battalion Wars 2 24.99 (2 left)
Wii Soulcalibur Legends 19.99
360 Sega Rally Revo 50% off
360 Bladestorm was marked at 30% off, but I noticed the guy at the register took 50% off both my games without looking twice. YMMV on that one.
There were lots of 360 games. Since I don't have a 360, I didn't pay too much attention to them other than the ones I mention here.
There was also 1 of the following games:
360 Eternal Sonata (19.99)
PS2 Soul Calibur III (9.99)
Wii Arctic Tale (14.99)
Wii Sea Monsters (14.99)
Wii Star Trek Conquest (14.99)
PS2 Star Trek Conquest (7.48)
Plus tons of crap like PS2/DS Boogie, Golden Compass, Stacked, Cabela, etc. Don't bother searching the second bin, which I filled with these titles and All Pro Baseball, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Beowulf.
I walked out with Wii Geometry Wars (19.99) and Jeanne D'Arc. No, there were no other Geometry Wars and I sorted through every last fucking game. No Wii Boogie either.

CHICAGO, July 27 (UPI) -- A new proposed alteration to Wrigley Field received a cautious reception from the Chicago Cubs and the owners of so-called rooftop bleacher clubs.
The proposal to move Wrigley's exterior wall in right field back 8 feet, and created a patio structure over Sheffield Ave., is the latest attempt at a compromise between the Cubs and the owners of the rooftops over plans to renovate the iconic stadium.
The Chicago Tribune said the new patio space offered the Cubs some new space for group sales and other events. In exchange, the team could also relocate a proposed 650-square-foot illuminated billboard and preserve the current view from the rooftop seats.
"We are willing to discuss alternatives to the pedestrian bridge that could deliver a solution that works for the neighborhood, Cubs and rooftops," a Cubs source told the newspaper. "This latest proposal offered by the rooftops and gaining support by some members of the community could be a path forward."
A representative of the rooftop owners said he was concerned about the team's final design of the patio, which the Tribune said was much larger than the patio envisioned by the rooftop people.
"There are some conversations taking place, but the devil will be in the details," said spokesman Ryan McLaughlin.
The Tribune said the patio would be a significant departure from the redevelopment plan approved last week by the Chicago City Council, and the idea of any patio was being opposed by neighborhood groups concerned about preserving the residential character of the area around Wrigley Field.

Testimony has resumed in the money laundering trial of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
The second week of the trial in Austin began Monday with prosecutors questioning a former official with liquor distributor Bacardi-Martini USA about a $20,000 corporate donation his company made to DeLay's political action committee.
Prosecutors allege DeLay used his PAC to illegally funnel $190,000 in corporate donations into Texas legislative races eight years ago. DeLay denies any wrongdoing.
DeLay is charged with money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The former Houston-area congressman faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys alike remain confident things are going their way in the trial.
The trial is expected to last at least three weeks.

The best burger in New Berlin?
I was amused and intrigued to get an e-mail, out of the blue, from an old colleague I've seen twice in the last 15 years. Joe is a mentor from before I even launched OnMilwaukee.com, and apparently, he's quite the beef enthusiast.
"Can I buy you the best burger in New Berlin?" he asked.
That invitation to catch up with an old friend, not to mention score a free lunch, was too good to pass up, so today I made the 25-minute drive to Matty's Bar & Grille, 14460 W. College Ave.
I'm not sure if I've ever ordered another hamburger in New Berlin, so I can't say definitively if it was the best. But I'd stack it alongside the best burgers I've had in Milwaukee, so it's very possible that it is.
Matty's hangs its hat on what it calls the "Smokehouse burger," a combination of Angus beef infused with their own smoked brisket. Starting the this month, they unveiled a different burger of the day, complete with a "Kopp's Custard" style list to take home. Today's burger, for example, was "The Firehouse," consisting of Havarti and provolone cheese, spicy ham, jalapeños, pepperoncini, ketchup, mayo and fresh dill on an Italian roll.
I opted to create my burger, if only to participate in their "burger creation contest." When I saw their list of artisan cheeses, I opted for a burger with a Asiago blend from Sheboygan with caramelized onions, avocado slices and Cajun sauce.
It was pretty great, though a little less salty than some of my other favorites like Kopp's or Oscar's. And whether I win the contest or not, I shall call my creation the OnMilwaukee.com Burger. Ask for it by name (but be prepared that no one will know what you're talking about).
Milwaukee is a town of many, many great burgers, so I'm not sure I'd drive all the way across town for this one (though apparently, their pizza is great, too). I liked the ambience and good service, however; and if I found myself tooling around the southwestern suburbs, I'd definitely stop back. If you're in the neighborhood, you should give Matty's a try, too.

Haha, thanks but no... it wouldn't be worth my drive time. If I'm ever out in New Berlin I'll try to remember to give you a try though. I wasn't trying to down your business so much as mock the comparison of "best in very small place"... if I hear you're the best in Waukesha County, that's going in the right direction.

We tried to go to the Cornish Pasty Co. (Mesa location, at Dobson and Guadalupe) this evening, but were faced with cold weather, everyone crowding indoors, and an hour plus wait. With eight of us, including two kids, we couldn't do that, especially with no indoor waiting area. So we decided to try a new place next door that we'd noticed when walking to The Cornish Pasty co. A Peruvian restaurant called Inka Fest, in the building where Dooby's had been.
Disclaimer: I've never eaten Peruvian food, so I can't compare to other experiences with this cuisine, or speak to its authenticity. But I can say it was delicious, and the three employees in the place were all Peruvians with fairy thick accents, so I'm guessing it was on the authentic side!
Probably exactly the same as when it was Dooby's, with a few different items hung on the walls. Nothing fancy, and it feels more like a lunch joint, despite the bar in one corner and the stage in the dining room.
My dad ordered Chicha Marada, a Peruvian purple corn drink. It was decidedly purple, not too sweet, interstingly spiced. It reminded me of a mulled Christmas punch, in fact. Quite delicious, and fun to sample something we'd never tried! $1.50.
My mom and daughter chose the maracuya, a passion fruit drink (also $1.50). Again, not too sweet. which I really appreciate. Very refreshing and delicious.
They had some Peruvian sodas, by the can or the 2 liter bottle, and I was interested, but I don't typically spend my calories on liquids unless they're a compellingly alcoholic beverage. Ice waters for the rest of the table. They are hoping to have their liquor license by next month.
We ordered a plate of tostones and ordered papa rellena, mashed potatoes stuffed with ground beef, hard boiled egg, onion, olives, and raisins, and deep fried. It was proclaimed delicious by everyone else at the table, but I didn't try it (serious aversion to potatoes--a texture issue). The tostones were very comparable to those I've had at other ethnic restaurants. I like them a little more salted, but it was easy to add some extra salt myself.
Warm bread and butter were brought to the table--fine, but nothing exciting. But then she brought out something that she described as Peruvian popcorn. I'd say it was more like peruvian corn nuts. The kernels didn't pop, but were delightfully salty, crunchy, but not-too-hard corn kernels. Delicious!
My husband and I shared Arroz con Mariscos, their version of a seafood Paella. The flavor was exceptional, perfectly seasoned, deliciously spiced, and there were very generous helpings of (real!) crab, shrimp, calamari, octopus, mussles, and clams in with the rice. $12.95 for a dinner designed for two, and which definitely came with enough food to satisfy us both.
My parents shared the Inka's Jalea, also designed to feed two people, and only $14.95. It's described as "fried fish strips topped with salsa criolla and saute mixed sea food served with fried yucca and tostones." This was probably the best fried fish I've ever had (and I did as well as I could to make an exhaustive search for the best fish and chips in England this past summer). It had incredibly light crust on the outside, and was flavorful. There was a *reason* to the breading beyond crunch. The fish was moist, firm, delicious, perfectly cooked. I sampled a few other tidbits off their plate, and everything was well prepared, not overcooked, beautifully seasoned. It was an incredible bargain for the price.
My daughter, brother, and his girlfriend all ordered Peruvian fried rice--chicken, beef, chicken, respectively. I sampled my daughter's Chaufa de Pollo, and thought it was delicious. Even her child-sized serving was incredibly generous, enough to feed four of her.
We all were stuffed by the end of the meal, but split a Pionono eight ways. A dense, eggy cake rolled up jelly-roll style with a thick caramel-like filling. Divine! They had some cookies with the same filling in the pastry case that looked irresistible, too. $3.95 for the pionono.
The entire bill for eight people, including seven entrées (I'm counting each double-sized, extra expensive entrée designed for two as two separate entrées for this tally), two appetizers, four drinks, and one dessert, came to only $76 and change. What a feast for that price!
I certainly hope some other chowhounds will give this place a try soon. They've only been open since December 17th, but we were the only people in the place the entire time we dined there tonight. I'd really love to see them have success.

Why is C.S. Lewis so great? It might prove difficult to answer this question in one blog post, but here's to the ol' college try. It helps that I get to focus on one work, Surprised by Joy. And there is really no other book by Lewis that I would rather write about.
When the question, "Has a book ever changed your life?" appeared in my Twitter feed, I had to answer; and the book that stood out above the rest in my mind was Lewis's autobiography, Surprised by Joy. I read this book during my junior year in college, and it profoundly shaped my thinking and living. And I have to say, I really do like it even better than the Narnia series, and some of Lewis's other more "popular" works. To really understand Lewis's genius, along with the warm complexity of his heart and personality, one must read Surprised by Joy.
This work is an autobiography, or as Lewis entitled it, "The Shape of my Early Life." But, as he states in his Preface, it "gets less like a general autobiography as it goes on." The central subject of Lewis's autobiography isn't Lewis himself, and he even lets us know a time or two that he is omitting significant and potentially interesting parts of his story, because they do not pertain to his subject. Lewis writes his autobiography for the sake of exploring what he calls "Joy." In chapter 1, "The First Years," Lewis lets us know that "The central story of my life is about nothing else."
Lewis begins his story with his childhood, and his early impressions of his family. He includes the importance of his parents' contrasting personalities, and the friendship he had with his brother, Warren. Lewis narrates the death of his mother from Cancer, Warren's transition to boarding school and Lewis's own boarding school experiences a few years later. All these episodes brought intense grief and suffering into Lewis's life in different forms, but he focuses on them in as much as they led him to long for Joy.
Lewis's "boyhood" brought much more suffering than the "prosaic happiness" that characterized his early childhood. But Lewis's boyhood also caused him "poignant nostalgia" when he looked back on it, which is something his childhood did not do. He tells us that it was because "[i]t is not settled happiness but momentary joy that glorifies the past." In the midst of trial and suffering, moments of desire began to break in unexpectedly, surprising Lewis (hence the book's title). He didn't know it early on, but these moments of longing and desire were for Joy – an experience of perfected, unspoiled goodness – that humans catch glimpses of in certain fleeting moments.
This "Joy" that Lewis is so concerned about is the really important connection for me, and why I love this book so much. We all experience this longing for Joy when we encounter true goodness and beauty, and that moment of encounter ends. This can happen in a moment with a special person that we wish would last longer, or in a vacation that ends too soon, or whenever we desire something in life to be what it isn't and that we know it should be. Lewis puts it like this: "[The desire for Joy] is…an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction. I call it Joy, which is here a technical term and must be sharply distinguished both from Happiness and from Pleasure. Joy (in my sense) has indeed one characteristic, and one only, in common with them; the fact that anyone who has experienced it will want it again."
In 1931, C.S. Lewis converted from atheism to full-blown Christianity (and not just theism, which was an earlier step in his conversion). Finally, Lewis was able to make much fuller sense of why mankind is so troubled with this unfulfilled desire. Allow me to share one longer quote from the last chapter: "But what, in conclusion, of Joy? for that, after all, is what the story has mainly been about….I now know that the experience, considered as a state of my own mind, had never had the kind of importance I once gave it. It was valuable only as a pointer to something other and outer. While that other was in doubt, the pointer naturally loomed large in my thoughts. When we are lost in the woods the sight of a signpost is a great matter. He who first sees it cries, 'Look!' The whole party gathers round and stares. But when we have found the road and are passing signposts every few miles, we shall not stop and stare. They will encourage us and we shall be grateful to the authority that set them up. But we shall not stop and stare, or not much; not on this road, though their pillars are of silver and their lettering of gold."
I read Surprised by Joy in my college years, and it's Lewis's philosophy of Joy that continues to infuse itself into every part of who I am, and is why I keep coming back to this book. And I'm leaving out so many great parts of the story: the lively places Lewis brings to life with his incredible narration, his experiences with combat in WWI, and his conversations with J.R.R. Tolkien among others. During those important years of my life, while looking ahead to the looming decisions of career and marriage, as well as looking back with regret at past mistakes, Lewis helped me see that all our moments of desire that end up diverted or unfulfilled simply serve as signposts. He helped me, and helps me still to found my life on hope that's very real and solid. And to see purposes behind disappointment and suffering that are bigger than me. Lewis said in another work "we read to know we are not alone." And in Lewis I can sincerely say I've found a great friend.
