Going into this Friday's second and final game of the CFL preseason, the Argos have a quarterbacking dilemma on their hands.
No doubt, veteran Damon Allen, the league's Most Outstanding Player in 2005, will be ready for opening day. But the performances of back-ups Eric Crouch and Spergon Wynn may have Argo fans hoping Allen plays every down this season.
With all the hoopla over Ricky Williams' debut as an Argo in Friday's 31-3 exhibition loss to Hamilton, almost lost in the shuffle was the performance of the quarterbacks.
In his quarter running the offence, Wynn had just one completion for eight yards, and threw an interception that set up an easy Hamilton touchdown. In his quarter, Crouch, like Williams, a former Heisman Trophy winner, had just one completion for seven yards.
Going into this Friday's preseason game, coach Mike "Pinball" Clemons knows he has to give Allen the lion's share of the snaps, so he will be ready to run the offence on opening day. But, it's clear that Wynn and Crouch need a lot more reps -- which they won't likely get this week.
"We don't like to evaluate from the sidelines," said a cautious Clemons. "When we look at film, it often tells a much different story."
Clemons said it's hard to judge players in a game where he has to give all hopefuls playing time -- which didn't allow any player, including the quarterbacks, to get into a rhythm.
"It's an unfair representation of where an offence is," he said.

BlackBerry Makes BlackBerry OS 10.2 Available
Article Comments
US last to get 10.2 WTF
These guys must have played too many hockey games without a helmet.

These guys must have played too many hockey games without a helmet.
This isn't 2002, the US has become Blackberry's smallest market, and hence the US simply isn't high priority for updates, nor should it be.
The US market and carriers care rats about BlackBerry, so why should BB care about them?
Exactly...well, they should care serving their existing customers, but honestly even as a Blackberry customer myself, I don't think it would be prudent for them to think of the US market as their highest priority.,.....my Z10 works fine, there are no problems at the moment, if I have to wait a couple months for a software upgrade, it's no biggie to me. I might feel differently if there was some big software bug that was hurting the performance, but there isn't. And even then, I would probably just install one of the leaked versions which are no doubt probably already all over the Internet.

Following news that printer giant Epson has inked a sponsorship deal with soccer giants Manchester United we look back on the Premier League football teams that have been sponsored by technology firms.
Just as in the real game the major teams involved are from London and Manchester.
Chelsea FC were sponsored by Commodore – one-time maker of the world's most popular personal computer, the C-64 – from 1987-93, and by Amiga, an off-shoot of Commodore, in the 93-94 season. Both went bust in 1994, and Chelsea would have followed suit shortly afterwards if it wasn't for a certain Russian oligarch.
Chelsea's current shirt sponsor is Samsung, which took over the sponsorship from Samsung Mobile (2005-08). (At one time Samsung sponsored now-defunct but once Premier League team Wimbledon, 1989-91.)
Local rivals Fulham were sponsored for two seasons by Demon Internet (1998-2001), Dabs (2003-5), Pipex (2005-07) and LG (2007-10). Other Internet providers sponsoring football teams included NTL, which briefly took over from Brown Ale on the Newcastle United strip.
And another west London soccer team, Queen's Park Rangers, took Compaq's money from 1994-6, followed by mobile giant Ericsson from 1996-2001.
Which football team kept its tech sponsor for the longest? Boringly it's a draw.
Arsenal wore JVC on their shirts from 1981 to 1999, while Manchester United's first shirt sponsor was Sharp from 1982 until 2000, when Vodafone stepped in from 2000-06.
Arsenal's JVC era was followed by two seasons sponsored by the Sega Dreamcast games console. UK telecoms giant 02 took over from 2002-06.
Manchester City (sponsored by Philips from 1984-7) also had a long-running tech football sponsorship with printer manufacturer Brother 1987-1999; replaced by video games software developer Eidos from 1999-2002.
Printer and photocopier makers have a fondness for football. Oki favoured Portsmouth FC in the years 2005-09. Reading (2005-08) found a willing partner in another, Kyocera. Southampton took the name of Rank Xerox on their shirts from 1980-3, and Stoke spent 1981-5 wearing the badge of Ricoh.
Aston Villa had a decade-long partnership with photocopier maker Mita (1983-93), and were later sponsored by AST Computers from 1995-98. AST produced the Intel-based Mac286 NuBus cards that allowed Apple's Macintosh II to run MS-DOS alongside with the Mac OS.
Did Apple ever sponsor a football team? Sadly, no. But I once heard from an Epson employee that the iPhone/iPad/Mac maker and today's tech titan nearly sponsored Chelsea but the deal fell foul of Steve Jobs' decision to make Apple's old rainbow logo so damn colourful. It was simply too expensive to reproduce all those colours on replica shirts, socks and kids' duvet covers.
Tottenham Hotspur, from 1995-9, had Hewlett-Packard on their kit. In the 2010-11 season Spurs were sponsored by British software firm Autonomy, now a part of HP.
Blackburn were sponsored by now bust Time Computers from 2000-02, followed by processor maker AMD for the 2002-03 season.
Wimbledon found another doomed UK PC maker, Tiny Computer to help them out from 1991-2001. From 1994-9 Wimbledon moved on to Elonex (once a PC seller, now an Android tablet maker).
Charlton Athletic proudly wore the name of Mesh Computers on their shirts from 1998-2000. Mesh, once the UK's biggest domestic PC maker by dint of its survival, later went bust, only to reappear recently following a time in administration.
From 1983-86 Bolton Wanderers were sponsored by local retailer HB Electronics, which even employed several short-of-cash Superwhites players.
While Liverpool FC struck sponsorship deals mainly with the less-than-tech Crown Paints and Carlsberg (although Hitachi sponsored the Reds in 1979-82) the blue side of the city wore NEC on their shirts, when the Japanese semiconductor maker sponsored Everton FC for the decade 1985-95.
Once "mighty" Leeds lived up to its "Dirty" nickname when it was sponsored by the allegedly dodgy Systime Computers, later bankrupted after suspect DEC technology trading between the USA and Russia, for the 1983-4 season. Leeds followed up with the more legitimate but oft-troubled Packard Bell from 1996-2000.
Leicester City got some dough from LG in the 2001-03 seasons.
Middlesborough spent a fruitful 1995-2002 wearing Cellnet/BT Cellnet on their shirts, followed by Garmin Sat Nav from 2007-10.
Nottingham Forest, twice European Cup winners, were sponsored by Panasonic from 1980-2.
From 2005 till 2009 Sheffield Wednesday didn't find the net many times but did pull in some cash from local ISP PlusNet.
Display manufacturer CTX sponsored Watford 1996-9, followed by Toshiba 2001-03.
West Bromwich Albion bagged T-Mobile as sponsor from 2004-08.
Some more football/sports sponsorship facts, courtesy of the know it alls on the PC Advisor forums:
Canon, Orange and Sharp are sponsors for the European Football Championship Finals this summer. IBM is sponsoring this year's Masters (Golf) starting next week. Orange sponsored the recent African Cup of Nations. Sony are one of the sponsors for the 2014 Football World Cup.
Acer, Samsung and Panasonic are London Olympics 2012 sponsors. Orange has sponsored various cricket test matches. Olivetti were a Formula 1 sponsor during the 1980s. HP has sponsored Indycar, American Football and was associated with Golf's Ryder Cup.
Canon was the first sponsor of the English Football League, with a deal from 1983 to 1986. The camera and printer maker has also sponsored Champions League and other UEFA tournaments (such as Euro 2008), as well as the World Cup tournaments from 1978 to 1998. Canon sponsored UEFA Cup final matches from 2006/07 to 2008/09, and the UEFA Super Cup matches in 2007 and 2008. Canon Europe was also an official sponsor of the Africa Cup of Nations 2008 in Ghana and the Russian Premier Football League.

Your Musical Guide to Last Night's Nashville: Rayna Finally Learns the Truth And Juliette Proposes Marriage
Last night's episode of Nashville was a big one. Aptly named, "Where He Leads Me" had all of the characters facing some pretty major changes in their lives.
At the center of it all was Rayna James (Connie Britton), who finally learned her husband's dirty little secret. She can rest assured he hasn't been cheating on her, but she doesn't look too thrilled he embezzled money either. It looks like they have a rough road ahead them. She married him because he was supposed to be the safe one, but now all her trust in him seems to be gone.
Speaking of the man Rayna left behind (well sort of), Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten), was grappling with some pretty big news himself. He had an invitation to join what appeared to be a legendary country group called The Rebel Kings. No one understood why he wouldn't jump at the chance to hit the road with these boys. I'd imagine all that time away from Rayna probably had something to do with it. In the end, he actually makes a smart career move and decides to join the band on their tour. Though with his longtime love going through such a rough time in her life (cough marriage cough), I doubt he'll be away long.
But these two weren't the only ones dealing with drama last night; the rest of the cast was too.
Things seem to be going pretty well for Avery since his dramatic confrontation with ex-girlfriend, Scarlett (Clare Bowen), last week. His extracurricular activities with that cougar record exec lady are clearly paying off, since he gets an offer to play his stuff in Atlanta from Dominic Wells (Wyclef Jean). But the celebration gets cut short when Wells informs him that if he wants his big break he'll have to leave behind the band he's played with since middle school. Talk about a buzzkill.
"For Your Glory"
Played By: Hayden Panettierre (Juliette Barnes)
I wasn't so sure about the Juliette's relationship with her kinda-sorta boyfriend Sean Butler (Tilky Jones) after he revealed last week that he's saving himself for marriage. I was even less convinced that they were going to last when he invited her to church with his family. But it seems like he's a good guy who's genuinely interested in her, so I thought maybe this would be good.
When she arrives at church, she's greeted by his picture-perfect loving family, complete with a sister who's Juliette's number one fan. Juliette seems to warm up to the family right away, and even agrees to sing a song with the sister's church choir. They all enjoy a family dinner together after church and it looks as if Juliette has found the family she never had growing up.
That is until the claws came out. Sean's mother makes it clear that she doesn't want Juliette anywhere near her precious baby boy. Couple this with the speech Juliette receives from Deacon about her own mother, and I could feel a storm brewing. As soon as Sean pulled up to Juliette's house, I knew what was coming. She lit candles, laid out flowers, and then she proposed. As in marriage. To a guy she's not even really dating. This should end well.
"When The Right One Comes Along"
Both Scarlett and Gunnar are back on the market this week, both fresh off of break ups. Gunnar's girl finally decides to call it quits after he jumps down her throat for suggesting Scarlett try out for another band. I felt bad for Hailey, but Gunnar's feelings for Scarlett have been obvious since the beginning. Well, obvious to everyone but Scarlett of course. She looked like she was going to have a heart attack after Gunnar finally kissed her.
It looked like they were going to be taking a break from each other for a while, after Scarlett's freak out. But then they got the news that someone is interested in their song "Fade Into You." It looks like these two won't be able to avoid each other after all. Score!
Things are certainly heating up in Nashville. At the end of this episode, Rayna seemed to almost welcome the idea of going on tour with Juliette. Talk about a plot twist! Too bad we have to wait another month to find out what happens next.

Bowling coach Craig McDermott expects Australia to take an unchanged attack into the fourth Ashes cricket Test against England, starting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day.
Fast bowler Ryan Harris has a sore knee but McDermott is confident he will be fit to take his place beside fellow quicks Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle and off-spinner Nathan Lyon.
McDermott calls the lineup, which has bowled Australia to a 3-0 series lead, the best in world cricket.
"They've all performed as a unit fantastically well," he said. "We have the best attack in the world at the moment."
England's other spin bowler Monty Panesar has backed his side to push on despite Swann's departure.
"I think when you're playing for England I think it's the pinnacle for every sportsman and I think for us we very much take it with pride and we want to give it our best and we no way take it for granted absolutely not."

Check out a new trailer for Quentin Tarantino's bloody Western "Django Unchained", which comes pretty hard with the gunplay and jokes this time around. And oh yeah, Jonah Hill too there towards the end. I suspect that was probably supposed to be a quick cameo that got people talking, but as with most trailers nowadays, they decided to give it away in the trailer. Leonardo DiCaprio's Southern accent is still ridiculous, but then again, it's not as if Tarantino would know the difference. Heck, it's probably on purpose as far as I know. Anyways, get another dose of Django, won't you? (The "D" is silent, in case you were wondering.)
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles — dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Starring Jaime Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Walton Goggins, Don Johnson, RZA, Gerald McRaney, Anthony LaPaglia, James Russo, and M.C. Gainey. And oh yeah, Jonah Hill, too.

Social media has become a big part of our lives. A growing number of people are logging onto Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other sites daily.
Now something new is popping up. It is called a Social Media Prenuptial Agreement.
Nashville couple Nathan Sachs and Lanier Prichard are getting married in about 10 months.
"This is our checklist. We have a lot of stuff we haven't done," explained Prichard.
While the couple navigates through color schemes, dresses and flowers, they have also discussed whether they'll make a prenuptial agreement.
"We've discussed it pretty seriously. Both of us see the benefits of having one and we want to make sure the other one feels safe and comfortable," said Prichard.
One thing they haven't talked about is a Social Media Prenup.
It is a clause that protects married couples and exes from a digital public relations disaster.
Nashville Attorney James Widrig identified the need for that type of agreement a couple of years ago and includes it in the documents he creates for his clients.
"Two years ago, and even today, we see more and more couples on Facebook and Twitter treating the person they once loved in a completely different light now," he said.
Widrig said social media issues come up in about 98% of the divorce cases he handles.
According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, social media is "the most frequent new issue" that comes up in divorce proceedings.
Social media can become a weapon that couples use to hurt each other, especially in the age of revenge Web sites.
"You would be surprised at the number of times that we have to introduce something into court that people post online. The judges see it and unfortunately people don't realize the ramifications when they are online and just clicking enter," said Widrig.
Sachs and Prichard said they don't see the need for a social media prenuptial agreement in their relationship, but said they are glad they had the conversation.
"I think it is a very fair thing to discuss and talk about going in," said Sachs.
The penalty for violating the Social Media Clause is usually monetary.
The amount set often depends on a person's wealth.

How big is 120 petabytes? Well, its equal to 120 million gigabytes. The data drive will be composed of 200,000 normal hard drives all working together. The drive was developed for "an unnamed client looking to conduct complex simulations," which I assume means one very rich dude looking to rip a whoooole lot of Blu-rays at 100% quality for his media server.

Advice on Getting Hotwire Car Rental Deals
Booking a car through Hotwire is one of the best options for saving money on car rentals, with the travel editor of "USA Today" saying that the site offered "dramatically discounted" rates. If you choose to book your next rental this way, several additional tips and advice can help you further bring down the price so you have more money for the things on your vacation that really matter, such as tours and the ever-important bottle of sunscreen.
Step 1
Logon to the Hotwire website (see Resources) and click "Cars" in the top menu bar.
Step 2
Enter your trip details, including how long you need the rental car and where you want to pick it up, in the schedule window on the left-hand side of the car page. Start with your final, direct destination, such as the LAX airport. Then get quotes for surrounding neighborhoods outside of your direct destination. Booking outside of the airport or major city can typically get you a cheaper rate and save you hundreds. However, you may need to get a friend or coworker to drive you to the car rental agency, or you can catch a bus or taxi.
Step 3
Modify the days that you've booked or even consider slightly changing your trip schedule to see if it brings down your quoted price. Hotwire reports that some car rental companies extend special weekly rates if you book in five- or seven-day increments. Additionally, special weekend rates may bring the price down if you reserve the rental for pickup on Thursday or Friday and drop it off on Sunday or Monday.
Step 4
Turn down the extra services that Hotwire offers, such as gas fill up and GPS rentals. For example, Fodor's reports that a GPS rental can easily cost you $10 a day -- a significant cost when you can just buy a cheap paper map.
Step 5
Verify whether or not you need the optional car rental insurance that Hotwire extends to its customers during the purchasing process. Your existing car insurance plan may already cover rentals, and some credit cards also give you automatic rental insurance if you pay for the rental using your credit card. If you elect not to buy the rental insurance, don't let the rental agency pressure you into buying it when you pickup your Hotwire rental -- a problem that some Hotwire customers have reported.
- If you're unfamiliar with how Hotwire works, here's how: When you log on to the site, you provide your destination and schedule. Hotwire then gives you a list of prices categorized by vehicle class. You don't see the name or the rental car agency or the specific car model until after you've purchased your rental through Hotwire, after which the site generates a prepaid rental voucher that you take directly to the rental agency when you're picking up your vehicle.
- Although "Time" recommends sites such as Hotwire for finding the best deals, it warns that you can sometimes find surprisingly cheap fares when booking directly through the rental agency. Check the agency, as well as local, non-national rental companies that are city or region specific to make sure your Hotwire quote is the best you can get.

I sprinkle poppy seeds on bread and cake dough while it is being kneaded. We also have a poppy seeds hand operated grinder at home, when the seeds are ground; add icing sugar, in 2:1 poppies to confectioner's sugar mixing ration, and mix it into cooked hand made noodles that were buttered when still hot right after boiling, straining. You'll end up with one fabulous sweet meal originally introduced to my taste buds by my grandma. You can successfully do the same with a common macaroni or other pasta purchased from shops. Never the less let me assure you, that home made pasta from my experience, when it is cooked while still flexible (before it dries out), is so much more Delicious. Same fresh dough applies for making strudel cake, roll the flat rolled dough with ground poppy seeds with icing sugar and of course cherries mix in between. Home made but like with the "best the money could buy!"

Finally! Proposals for a gigantic Islamic 'mosquetrosity' that was to be located near the Olympic Stadium in East London were tonight refused planning approval amid fierce local opposition from the Muslim community.
UK Telegraph (h/t Sharon H) Planners rejected the "mega-mosque" in West Ham, east London, which would have been three times the size of St Paul's Cathedral with a capacity for almost 10,000 worshippers. Newham councillors tonight rejected the plans, from Muslim group Tablighi Jamaat, after planning officials recommending permission be refused.
As thousands waited outside the council offices for the result, officials ruled the proposal, first mooted in 2007, was too large, would generate too much traffic and was poor in its planning and design. The Abbey Mills Mosque, also known as the Riverine Centre, would have become the biggest Islamic centre in Britain and one of the largest in western Europe had it been given the green light.
Located in the shadow of the 2012 Olympic Park, in Stratford, it was to include a prayer hall for almost 7,500 men and a separate facility for about 2,000 women.
In comparison, Britain's largest cathedral, in Liverpool, can hold up to 3,000 worshippers. "Councillors have considered this application at length and with great care before deciding to reject it," a council spokesman said last night. "There are … concerns about the size of the proposed buildings and impact on parking and traffic in the local area."
In the lead up to tonight's vote, there had been fierce local opposition and concern about an expansion of the former industrial land. Opponents had claimed the mosque, about the same size as Battersea Power Station, will become Britain's first Sharia-controlled zone where up to a third of the local population are said to be of Muslim descent.
Tablighi Jamaat currently uses part of the 17-acre Abbey Mills site to house the London Markaz, also referred to as Masjid-e-Ilyas, as a temporary hub for up to 2,500 people. The Islamic sect, which started in India in the late 1920s, has been accused in the past of radicalising young Muslims.
Daily Star The sect, which has been linked to shoe bomber Richard Reid and 7/7 terrorists Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, owns the Abbey Mills site near the Olympic Park in West Ham. In a YouTube video, extremist cleric Sheikh Haitham al-Haddad urged Muslims to come together to support what should be a "big Islamic symbol in the heart of London."

Xbox 360 Woes: E74 Becoming Big Problem
There's no doubt that the Xbox 360 seems to have more technical issues than a junky used car. With that said, an old, existing error is now rapidly becoming a not-so-phantom menace.
From a personal standpoint, it's really amazing to see how well Microsoft's Xbox 360 console sells on the market. Granted, the Wii console from Nintendo kicks it around financially, the numerous hardware issues Microsoft has had to face should lead one to believe that the consumer market would actually stray away from the faulty equipment. Strangely enough, that hasn't happened, and from a sales point-of-view, the gaming community prefers the Xbox 360 over its same-level adversary (with less technical faults, no less), the PlayStation 3. That's based on numbers, of course.
To add on top of the Red Ring of Death issue and lawsuits stemming from the company's supposed knowledge of faulty hardware before the initial shipment, Microsoft recently faced huge problems once it released the new interface, the NXE. Additionally, an older error--dubbed E74 due to an error code displayed on the screen-- has rapidly increased in number since the release of NXE back in November 2008; the two may or may not be related. On the technical end, the E74 error stems from the integrated HDMI: the solder on the ANA/HANA scaling chip apparently comes loose. Because it's an internal issue, gamers aren't aware of the problem until snow or lines begin to cross the screen. The one red light in the lower right-hand quadrant eventually comes on. Many Xbox 360 owners have resolved the issue by wrapping pennies in electrical tape and weighing the ANA/HANA down, however that's not an official fix and will void the console's warranty.
So why would the new Xbox 360 interface aggravate the HDMI hardware problem? According to an analysis done by Joystiq (link), it's speculated that the entire system is being taxed by the NXE or, more importantly, Microsoft may have changed the system diagnostics test to report a Red Ring of Death error as E74 instead. The latter is probably unlikely, however if that were the case, gamers inflicted with Error E74 would thus have to cough up more than $100 for the repair if the error occurs later than 12 months after purchase, as Error E74 is not covered under the 3-year extended warranty set in place for the Red Ring of Death malfunction. Posing the Red Ring of Death error as E74 would save Microsoft millions.
Still, a Google Trends chart clearly shows an immediate increase in hardware failure since November 2008 (link), even more so since October 2008, so the problem isn't imaginary, it isn't fiction. The hardware revisions made to the overall Xbox 360 design have thus not addressed the current Error E74 issue. At one point, Microsoft even said it was looking into the matter. However just recently, Joystiq received this official statement:
E74 is a general hardware error on Xbox 360 indicated by a single red flashing light in the Xbox Ring of Light and an error message visible on the television. This error is unrelated to the three flashing red lights error and there is not a single root cause. We encourage anyone who receives this error to contact Xbox Customer support through www.xbox.com/support or 1-800-4-MY-XBOX. The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles continue to have a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out.
By the statement, it is obvious that Microsoft is avoiding any public announcements regarding Error E74, however the company will ultimately have to face the thousands of consumers already complaining. And, if Joystiq isn't exaggerating the consumer feedback, it looks as if more will continue to pour in.
"When we recently posted about the Xbox 360's E74 error and asked for your input, we weren't prepared for the staggering response we'd receive," reads Joystiq. "Within a few hours, we had dozens of emails from readers like you who had experienced this particular hardware failure (typically caused, according to unofficial web reports, by a loose scaling chip). It was surprising to touch such a nerve, but what really knocked us for a loop was what we found when we started compiling the data sent to us."
While the Xbox 360 does have a great library of games, consumers may want to weigh the hardware technical issues against Sony's PlayStation 3. Of course, although all three current consoles suffer hardware issues to some degree, the Xbox 360 oozes with hardware design failures, feeling almost as if the console was hastily thrown together rather than designed with the consumer in mind. Stay tuned for more information regarding Error E74, as this problem will more than likely not be resolved for some time.
Herbert_HAIt's hard to stay neutral regarding Microsoft when so many of their products are plaged with so many problems...how many times I read that Vista, Zune and Xboxes seemed to have been rushed into production?
I have a cousin who works there, so it's hard for me to criticize, but I have absolutely no faith in their products anymore.
graviongrI own an Xbox 360 and I've had a great experience with it from day one, I also use the NXE. I wouldn't let the fear of hardware failure keep you away from the solid game library and terrific integrated online experience and marketplace, of which there is a lot of movie and TV show content.
I don't buy TV shows from there due to the lack of options of transfering your content to other devices, but I do rent movies occasionally.
However, I don't deny these problems are real, and there is a chance you will receive a console that will go haywire on you. Jasper model 360's are supposed to greatly alleviate any problems.
I'm not a fanboy or a spokesman, I just genuinely feel that if you're willing to take the risk on it, it pays out great dividends in entertainment. I just wish you good luck in receiving a console as sturdy as mine.
captaincharismaheh i just had a friend's 360 give him the RROD a few days ago and sense it was a gift he has no proof of purchase so he's screwed. while all the crashbox 360 fans say the RROD issue is over here comes a different way your console will fail on you. the PS3 may be pricey but i have no doubt it has nowhere near the failure rate as the Xbox.
I always knew red ring or not the failure rates will still be huge with the xbox which is why i'm sticking with the PS3 this time
BlessedmanThis is just like any other MS product, when it is broken instead of fixing it they shift it. They recognized they couldn't afford to keep bleeding money out on these claims of the RoD. So they made this new error which catches the RoD before it becomes a RoD and forces the user to repair at their own cost because this new error is not covered under a previous warranty. This sounds far more likely then some new problem popping up after how many years on the market now? Give me a break MS... This cannot end well for them.
AnonymousMy son's xbox 360 is having disc read errors. We got the system for him last Christmas and it has only been 3 months. I first noticed the problem when I bought him a new game at the store. The disc for the game could not be read. I figured it was a defective game. We returned it and got another copy. Same issue. I asked him if he has had any other issues with it and he said the other games where working. I had him test another one and sure enough it would not read the disc. Overall 3 out of the 4 games he has could not be read. After doing some research on this it appears to be a common problem with the XBox 360. I am thankful that I bought an extended warranty with Best Buy. We will see tomorrow if they hold up on their end for replacement.
Now we also have a PS3 and I just fixed an issue with it not being able to download updates for the games. It would get somewhere between 5 - 20 % and said the download failed and some error code. After doing some research on this I found that disabling the option to connect to media server (or something very similar) in the network preferences was to address this issue. I tested this and did not have the same problem.
Now I have been gaming since I was young and started with an Atari 2600. A couple years ago I pulled out an old Atari 2600 and some games and was able to get it to work with little amounts of work after this many years (my son could not believe I enjoyed playing these games). However today the technology has grown so much but the quality of the systems can never stand the test of time (let alone a few months).
jsloanwow i cant believe that xbox 360 after all these years is still plagued by hardware issues, microsoft needs to get on the ball, with all the bad press it could lose whatever gains xbox360 made against rivals. mine failed a bit ago and i had rip it open and luckily was able to fix it myself, otherwise i would be out by $100 for a $.0001 part what was not glued properly when manufactured.
dopedokay okay.. I'm on my third xbox now.. first was a launch model, which worked for over 2 years.. then i sold it when the new jasper models got around, to be on the safe side with rrod.. second was a new jasper arcade with my old harddrive, and i froze after 10mins of play.. over a couse of 4 weeks it kept freezing, and i was so angry, so i phoned in, asked politely to the store clerk to have it replaced.. he agreed(luckily!!) and i got it swapped for a new arcade jasper.. it's on its second month now a believe, and hopefully will run strong as my first one..
AnonymousHey, I've just got this error and am pretty irate about it. I have had my xbox for about a year and a half now, and with no problems what-so-ever. Now this E74 message is popping up. It would help me greatly if any of you could give me anything that would help me get my xbox fixed, without having to stupidly spend $100 on a repair that may not have been my fault. Please reply
ricardokFor once, they are reporting correctly.. I'm seeing E74 more and more around here in Brazil and MS here won't do a thing about fixing this issues since 99% of the 360s comes from a grey market (illegal imports - who would pay US$1200 for an original/legal XBox if you can get them for $650???).
Don't be amazed, it IS true.
ricardok(since a long post won't do as I'm getting a 503 error page, here goes the rest of the text/post)
I'm around since the RROD was a common problem and I'm fixing most of those. The problem is. Because of the heat generated by the GPU/CPU combination that alone is causing the xANA chip to fail.
How can we fix it? Just add around a ten to a dozen nickel to the xANA, heat it again for 15 seconds maximum, close the game and voilá. A fixed 360. (let it cool down, of course - I wonder how long till Team Xecuter steals the idea and creates a knockoff product like the RROD "fix").
ricardok(since a long post won't do as I'm getting a 503 error page, here goes the rest of the text/post)
A small reminder: Microsoft created SEVERAL faulty hardware (who never had a MS mouse spinning down when playing FPS through the fist rock - Zune and it's faulty clock bricking all Zunes around) and faulty software (Vista anyone? Millennium than?). And because of that 'history', one can always find easy 'patches' for those problems.
I'm seeing several "falcon" with 0102, 0021, 0020 and TONS of E74. The later started around january last year and now it's a trend that we are seeing on all 2006/2007/2008 hardware.
The ones that are most commonly related to E74 are the one that have the BenQ and Hitachi 0079 drive. Older models with the "ANA" chip will get E74, but on a slower pace if compared to the new ones.
ricardok(since a long post won't do as I'm getting a 503 error page, here goes the rest of the text/post) Sorry for the spam..
If we could sue MS from here, we would, but we are not willing to pay almost 5 times more than the original US price for that.
That said, my PS3 is also dead, launch date PS3. Died 4 days ago because the drive isn't spinning/ejecting anymore, so I'm willing to change the drive to fix it. Easier than having to find weird mods to save a 360.. (we don't have Sony support here also, so you can imagine the pain we are in to)

Under Big Brother Law, Police Get Cell Phone Companies to Tell All
Cellcom tells Knesset panel police have been requesting customer information not specifically included in law.
It appears police have been exploiting the authority granted to them under the 'Big Brother Law' by demanding cellular phone companies provide them with certain customer information beyond that which has been specified in regulation of the law.
The Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee met Wednesday to determine amendments to the new law.
However, discussion of police attempts to circumvent the Knesset via regulations under this law dominated the meeting in light of a presentation by the Cellcom phone company.
Representatives of the company reported that police have been asking them for additional figures on customers, including: the date a customer joined the company; the type of service he or she receives; the type of phone; the agent who arranged the service; how account payments are made, and more.
The law, passed last year, allows the police to establish a comprehensive database of telephone numbers, cell-phone numbers and other telecommunications data.
It entrusts the public security minister with promulgating regulations governing issues such as how this information will be stored, who will have access to it and how oversight will be conducted, but requires the Constitution Committee to approve these regulations.
However, a draft regulation submitted by Public Security Minister Avi Dichter states merely that "the database manager will conduct supervisory and oversight activities from time to time as laid down in police procedures."
In effect, this means the police would decide for themselves how oversight would be handled, without the committee's approval.
Police violations of the law were brought for debate by Knesset Constitution Committee Chairman Menachem Ben-Sasson.
The MK warned that "if [police] are really trying to circumvent the committee via internal orders and procedures, that is unacceptable, and is liable to come at the cost of our confidence in them."
That would make it harder for the committee to approve future police requests, he added.
Dichter's office said in response on Tuesday that the only thing police want to decide for themselves is the frequency of oversight activities, but "if the committee thinks it's better to arrange this matter as well via regulations, there's no problem from our standpoint."

a pocket pc thoughts forum member, menneisyys, posted a very detailed and thorough round-up of pocket pc web browsers. he looked at pocket internet explorer with multiie, pieplus, and spb pocket plus plug-ins, and the ftxpbrowser add-on. these were compared to netfront, thunderhawk, and minimo. it looks like every comparison benchmark and area was covered, so if you browse with your device then you must check this out. opera should be coming to windows mobile pocket pcs this fall, and it will be interesting to see how that stacks up.

i'm sorry to confuse you with the facts, but yes, a lot of people care about browsers and pocketpc. as of q1 of 2004 the pocketpc platform had tied palm for market share. and yes, i'm willing to cite authoritative sources: gartner )
pocketpc is also, by far, the prefered pda platform for enterprise development and deployement of mobile applications. this is due to the fact that microsoft agressively targeted the enterprise market space, and has added functionality to the os specifically for the purpose of dominating the enterprise market. an emphasis on wireless connectivity, rich(er) browser content ability, remote desktop functionality, application integration, the availability of the .net compact framework for porting of applications, etc.
please stick to facts when posting if you want to be taken seriously. – by olmy

Here I am, just quilting away on DD's Littlest Pet Shop quilt...I'm getting into my groove with FMQ and really enjoying it! I made a great heart today in my loop to loops (of course, there were a whole lot of BAD hearts lol). But Yay for progress! So I'm quilting away, I have my tunes on my iPod, everything is going smoothly...
But...all good things must come to an end.
The unfortunate series of events started with my spool of thread nearing the end...where the tail of the thread started to come loose...then wrap around the spool pin. All of it unnoticed as I was quilting my little heart out. Once it was wrapped tightly enough around the spool pin, it jammed, with the needle still down, where I pulled with the quilt unknowingly, and pulled the needle just enough to hit and gouge the needle plate, break the needle and *almost* rip a hole in my quilt.
At least the quilt was there to prevent the needle tip from jumping up and poking my eye out or something. And what had the potential to become a giant rip is just a somewhat stretched out needle hole that I'm sure will disappear with washing.
I decided to call it quits for now. Instead of re-threading with the almost empty spool, I'm going to go buy a new one to prevent the thread tail fiasco from happening again...I knew I'd need to get a new spool anyhow.
Ok, that's all. I'm sure some of you can relate. :D

Tagged: 404, 404 error, delete wp-content, homepage only, newbie
I'm a complete newb to using WordPress (know enough HTML and CSS to be dangerous) and this is the first theme I've purchased. I am trying to use your template and work backwards to insert content/set up structure and understand how everything works. I deleted my whole wp-content folder and deleted all my pages/tags that I had prior to installing this theme to start fresh. I installed the theme and went into setup to insert the template content but when I visit the website ( mattpaulus.com ) I only have one page (home) and I am getting a 404. What is going on here? Can you give me a step by step process for starting from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
You can use the dummy content installer under CleanCut Options to import sample posts and data.
If you find you're getting 404 Page Not Found errors, you sometimes need to flush your rewrite rules.
To do this, you need to load (but not change or save) you Permalinks settings page (WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks).

The National Book Award-winning novel by the writer Fran Lebowitz called "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald".
Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight, Ten North Frederick stands with Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road, Evan S. Connell's Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge, the stories of John Cheever, and Mad Men as a brilliant portrait of the personal and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.

The Bottom Line / Bread Buttered Here
The Likud is already deep into its next primaries. The running assumption there is that Labor will quit the coalition immediately after the Gaza disengagement is completed and topple the government, so the battle for the Likud Central Committee is heating up.
1. Ariel Sharon. The Likud is already deep into its next primaries. The running assumption there is that Labor will quit the coalition immediately after the Gaza disengagement is completed and topple the government, so the battle for the Likud Central Committee is heating up. Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going with the right. This week he said he opposes disengagement, because there is no partner on the other side and we shouldn't exit the Strip without receiving compensation. He used the same opportunity to say substantial land in Judea and Samaria should be annexed. The largely right-wing central committee applauded.
Sharon is going with the jobs. This week he tried a cynical, shameless move: handing out jobs to seven of his associates - two ministers and five deputies. The idea was to signal to central committee members that his side of the bread is buttered, and the loyal shall be rewarded. In addition, the ministers and deputies will fill their offices with Likud cronies and political associates, who also naturally will work for the prime minister. And if the superfluous move costs NIS 20 million, so be it. What is that for the hero of disengagement?
Sharon showed his great disdain for us. He figured we'd embrace the new muckety-mucks with open arms. This time he was wrong. The Knesset rebelled, the public got mad, and a week that started well (referendum and budget) will go down in history for the foolish attempt to buy power with jobs for the boys.
2. Benjamin Ben-Eliezer. This week the national infrastructures minister wrote a response to my article on necessary reforms at the Israel Electric Corporation, the water utility company Mekorot, and Oil Refineries. One sentence in his article was too much: "Today, years after the accelerated Thatcherist privatization in Britain, it is clear and known that privatization led to deep unemployment that lasted several years and forced many to subsist on unemployment benefits."
The truth is completely opposite. When Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1989, the UK was in a lengthy recession and unemployment was high. The British economy was considered backward, plagued by strikes, with many loss-generating, state-owned companies. It was known then as "Europe's sickly child."
The Iron Lady changed all that. She reduced the size of government, increased competition, implemented wide-spread reforms, broke monopolies, and privatized many companies. As a result, the British economy recovered and began to grow. Unemployment fell from 11 percent to 6 percent, the number of people under the poverty line decreased, social gaps narrowed, and the UK became a flourishing economy.
The success was so great that the Labor party changed its name to New Labor, and in 1997, when he came to power, Tony Blair adopted all of Thatcher's ideals - market economy, competition, privatization - and continued to lead the British economy forward. So if not from Thatcher, at least learn from Blair, Sir Minister of Infrastructures.
3. Yuval Rachlevsky. Many citizens continue to complain that the latest wage report covered the pay of doctors, professors and port and refinery workers - and not the salaries of the Finance Ministry's own senior officials.
The truth is their pay was reported. The problem is that the report is not so ostentatious. For instance, Yuval Rachlevsky, the treasury wages director, appears at number 522 in the civil servants salary table. His NIS 29,712 gross monthly salary, like that of the treasury's director general, is far below that of many workers at the ports, at Israel Electric, and at Oil Refineries. In a few months he will retire at age 55, after 33 years on the job. He is entitled to budget-supported pension that will gross at 19,000 per month. Not too shabby.

Your project went off without a hitch-but somebody else got the creditYou averted a crisis brilliantly-but no one noticedYou came to the meeting with a sensational idea-but it was ignored until someone else said the same thing
In her extraordinary international bestseller, You Just Don't Understand, Deborah Tannen transformed forever the way we look at intimate relationships between women and men. Now she turns her keen ear and observant eye toward the workplace-where the ways in which men and women communicate can determine who gets heard, who gets ahead, and what gets done.
An instant classic, Talking From 9 to 5 brilliantly explains women's and men's conversational rituals-and the language barriers we unintentionally erect in the business world. It is a unique and invaluable guide to recognizing the verbal power games and miscommunications that cause good work to be underappreciated or go unnoticed-an essential tool for promoting more positive and productive professional relationships among men and women.

Gran Canaria is worldwide known for its excellent climate,
its magnificent beaches and its astonishing landscape. However
in the inland it keeps some treasures yet undiscovered for
the visitor and are related to their inhabitants, their culture
and their way of life.
Among them, its gastronomy has been ellaborated along several
centuries with excellent raw materials (meat, fish, fruits
and vegetables) combined in original and tasty recipes.
Thus, we invite
you to make a trip trying some of the traditional dishes of
Gran Canaria, starting by the "Enyesques" (snacks)
among which we can find famous "Papas Arrugadas"
(small potatoes boiled in their jackets), "Ropa Vieja"
(type of casserole) or "Carajacas" (filleted liver).
This can be followed by first courses such as "Fish
Soup" or "Watercress Soup". And the second
courses can be composed of meat like "Salmorejo Rabbit",
or fishes like "Sea Bream Casserole".
To end with we invite you sweeten your palate with any of
the desserts like "Bienmesabe" (very sweet almond
paste) or "Yolk Mass".
All this can go well accompanied with a good wine with O.D.
"Gran Canaria" or "Monte Lentiscal"
With the recipes that we offer you here, you can try and
cook some of these dishes at home, but really the best idea
is to give yourself some holidays in Gran Canaria and enjoy
our flavours in the restaurants that you will find in any
spot of this island.
One of the unique aspects of the island of Gran Canaria is
the diversity of microclimates that are found on the island,
which is why grapes of the same variety that are cultivated
in a very small geographical area, present such a wide range
of oenological characteristics. Another distinctive characteristic
of the local wines is the fact that most of the vines were
introduced onto the island before the occurrence of the phylloxera
plague that devastated Europe's vineyards.
Consequently, it is possible to cultivate the vines without
having to resort to grafting, which is why the island's
viticulture enjoys certain unique characteristics.
In the 16th
century, the most famous of the wines that were exported from
the Canary Islands were known as "malvasia" or
simply "vino de Canarias" (wine from the Canaries).
At present, a much more extensive range of wines are being
produced on the island under the denomination of origin, "Monte
Lentiscal", and the denomination of origin, "Gran
Canaria". The grape varieties that are most widely cultivated
are common black, negramoll, tintilla, black moscatel, malvasia
and listan.
Both denominations encompass approximately twelve commercial
brands that produce young, red and white wines. These magnificent
wines have already conquered the local market and their fame
is growing steadily.
The best way to get to know the wine culture of Gran Canaria
is to visit the island's wine cellars. Some of these
cellars have their own museums and virtually every cellar
has tasting facilities, where you can buy the local wines
directly. In many cellars, you can also enjoy the local cuisine
by prior reservation.
This "rebirth" of viticulture in Gran Canaria
has been enriched by the inauguration of the Wine Museum,
which is located in a house in the centre of Santa Brígida
that is more than two centuries old.

The House of Blues building on the edge of Dallas' Victory Park complex has a new owner.
New York-based investor W.P. Carey Inc. bought the historic building on the north side of Woodall Rodgers Freeway for one of its real estate investment trusts.
The 62,000-square-foot former warehouse building sold for $16 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The House of Blues building had been for sale since 2010. It started out priced at more than $19 million.
Live Nation Entertainment, which operates the House of Blues music and entertainment venue, will continue to occupy the building on a long-term lease, according to Carey.
Built in 1913, the three-story brick building was originally a warehouse for White Swan Foods Co.
Starting in 2006, the old warehouse was extensively remodeled by Victory Park developer Hillwood Capital into the House of Blues.
It was a Hillwood affiliate that sold the property, Dallas County records show, to Carey's CPA 17 Limited Partnership. American National Insurance Co. provided $10.6 million in financing for the deal.

Moore reflects on his Law
1 Comment
SAN FRANCISCO On what Intel Corp. billed at the 50th anniversary of the integrated circuit, Gordon Moore, the company's founder and chairman emeritus, took to the stage at the Intel Developer Forum here for an informal reflection on his thoughts on everything from cubicles to ecology. Here are some excerpts from his conversation with Moira Gunn, moderator of National Public Radio's "TechNation" program.
On being hired by transistor co-inventor William Shockley: "In those days they thought they might need a chemist, and I was lucky enough to be one of the first people he called. We didn't have email then, but we did have phones--the kind you stick your finger in."
On the first ICs: "There were a lot of questions about the integrated circuit in the early days because sometimes the yields were as low as 20 percent. People thought they wouldn't be reliable because there was no way to go in and measure the parameters of the individual transistors and resistors."
On the company's name: "We went through a lot of names. Bob Noyce's daughter wanted to call it Moore Noyce Electronics. At first we called it MN Electronics. We wound up buying the name Intel from a motel company in the Midwest."
On Intel co-founder Robert Noyce's ideas on pricing: "One of Noyce's big breakthroughs was an idea that you could price an IC for less than the sum of the individual transistors. We thought we could make it up in volume. Interestingly, we eventually did because we got to the point where we hit a curve in the cost."
On cubicles: "I still have the largest cubicle at Intel. That's because at the time I had this big round table that wouldn't fit into the standard cubicle, so I kept that table."
On the limits of Moore's Law: "One time Stephen Hawking came through here and someone asked him about the fundamental limits of microelectronics. He typed out his answer saying the two fundamental limits are the speed of light and the atomic nature of atoms. We made quite an advance recently using hafnium as an insulator. We were getting down to structures just five molecules thick, and you can't get much finer than that. I think we have another decade, maybe a decade and a half until we hit some fundamental limit."
On starting over: "If I was starting school today I'd probably look into biology. The interface between biology and computers is a very constructive area."
On the cost of transistors: "Western Electric, the manufacturing arm of AT&T, once estimated transistors would someday cost as little as 68 cents. I think the reality is today they cost on the order of 10 pico bucks."
On wafer sizes: "I once extrapolated that wafers would be 57 inches in diameter by the year 2000. I overshot to make a point, but I never really thought we would see 12-inch wafers."
On his foundation's work in ecology: "We used to like to go deep water fishing, and the best fishing was in very remote places. Sometimes we would return to these places in a few years and find high rise buildings and golf courses. I think we may be the last generation to see any really wild places left on the Earth."

Why We Worship
As believers, we can't help but worship our Savior. The celebration of God's glory is an incredible privilege we've been undeservedly given. We gather to bring praise and honor to his name, and the gospel is the heart of why we worship. God saw us in sinful rebellion against Him, and yet sent His son to die for us and take the penalty for each of our sins, so that we could be made right with Him. It is because he did this and rose victoriously from the grave, that we celebrate our relationship with Him. This truth is the foundation for what we do and why we worship. We celebrate Christ's sacrifice both corporately and individually, and seek to worship Him not only through music, but through every aspect of our lives. As believers, worship is more than a tradition; it's the foundation for all we do.
The Foundation
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Psalms 95:1-7
Come Join Us
We gather as a congregation on Sundays at 10:45 in the main worship center.
Our choir gathers to lead the congregation in praising our Savior through song, with a heart centered on glorifying the Lord. Psalm 95:1-2 says, "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!"
We are all called to praise the Lord joyfully with our voices, and the worship choir provides a tremendous opportunity to do this, as well as to lead others to join this celebration.
Choir meets weekly to rehearse and worship the Lord through music and studying the Word. This is a great opportunity not only to make music, but to engage in a fun time of fellowship with like-minded believers.
Worship Team
The worship team is a group of auditioned vocalists who lead the congregation in worship on a rotational basis. This group is responsible for additional rehearsals at church, as well as individual practice outside of church. These singers also play an important role in leading these times of worship with a life and heart surrendered to the Lord.
Kids' Worship
The purpose of Shine is to teach children God's word, who they are in Christ, and how to worship Him through music and their lives as a whole. Students will dig into the Word and learn about their call to worship through interactive lessons, singing, instruments, movement, art, and games.
Our Foundation
Shine is based on Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
As a child of God, we are called to reflect the light of our Savior through all we do. The focus is reflecting The Light, not trying to shine our own light. Students will learn about this in depth and how it can be lived out through musical worship and all aspects of their lives.
Come Join Us!
We meet Sunday evenings at 5:15 in the the Kid's Worship Room on the second floor.
Media ministry
The media ministry offers support to our worship service and other events through audio, video, lighting, and the web. This ministry is a crucial part of our weekly services and events at Cherokee Hills. 1 Peter 4:10 says, "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." If you are interested in serving in this way, please select the "Serve" tab for further information.

Toronto's Underpass Park officially opened Thursday, as part of the West Don Lands revitalization project.
Built by Waterfront Toronto, it is located under the Eastern Avenue overpass, an area that was formerly a neglected eyesore, littered with garbage and old tires.
Now, the transformation has turned Underpass park into Canada's first ever park to be built under an overpass, and the largest.
"Underpass Park is an example of creative city building," said John Campbell, President and CEO, Waterfront Toronto in a statement. "By viewing the space under the overpasses as an opportunity, we turned a potential liability into a great neighbourhood asset, one that helps connect the community and raises the bar for urban space."
Thursday's opening marks phase one of the park. Phase two is being built west of St. Lawrence Street and will open in Spring 2013.
The opening is just a small part of the West Don Lands revitalization.
As part of the project, another public space, the new Don River Park, which covers 18 acres and cost more than $15 million, will also be opening.
In addition, a flood protection landform has been built to protect residents from the water of the Don River.
And the area will see a serious resurgence, courtesy of the 2015 PanAm Games. The West Don Lands will be home to the Athletes' Village, that will sit on a redeveloped 80-acre site next to the Don River.
"Underpass Park is a great example of how you can take a space that was neglected and turn it into a nice place for people and families to enjoy", said Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in a statement. "The park is part of the first phase of the West Don Lands redevelopment, which will transform the area in time for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games."
Developers are certainly making the most of this up-and-coming area. The River City condos, phase one and two will be located in the area.
It seems the park is already being put to good use by some of Toronto's littlest citizens. Check out this glimpse of Underpass Park, courtesy Of Canadian Family Magazine.

Editor: Wouldn't it be something if one of the Coulter-haters could send in a letter actually detailing the facts of a "lie" rather than a declaration that she is a hateful, venomous, deterrent to their view point.
OK, let's see hands now. How many people know that the FAIRTAX includes a system of monthly rebate checks, like other entitlement programs, that covers the estimated amount that the minimum wage earner up through about $40K a year, would pay on sales tax for essentials like food and shelter, and clothing?. Whatever spending above that would carry the 18 to 22 percent new federal tax. This would mean that consumers pay taxes based on their earning power and lifestyle. Someone who chose to educate oneself, work, and earn minimally but spend extravagantly would pay a lot of tax relatively. One who lives on a million dollar trust fund and spends very frugally may pay small taxes relatively. Even drug dealers who buy slick rides and bling-bling would pay taxes like the Bushs and Kerrys.
Keep those hands up now. Isn't the system we currently have the most unfair? Not to mention the most indecipherable?
Also keep in mind that with corporations largely passing their taxes along to customers embedded in pricing, with the FAIRTAX, prices will drop about equal to the percent of the FAIRTAX levy, due to competition.
If Bush gets behind the FAIRTAX, won't that be the principal reason some oppose it?
