Berkley-based "extreme value" supermarket chain Grocery Outlet is poised to take over the retail space formerly occupied by Miki's Farm Fresh Market at Alma Village in Palo Alto.
"Grocery Outlet will bring Palo Alto what it has needed for years, what so many drive out of town daily to buy " everyday low-cost groceries," Alma Village developer John McNellis said in a statement Monday night.
Grocery Outlet is the polar opposite of Miki's. While the defunct market's crossover format lined shelves with both name-brand and specialty products, the latter put it in the same league as Whole Foods, McNellis told The Daily News.
The supermarket chain, on the other hand, offers nothing but name-brand products at up to 50 percent off conventional retail prices. On its website, Grocery Outlet describes itself as "extreme value."
Michael "Miki" Werness closed the 18,000-square-foot market bearing his name in early April amid lackluster sales. It was open less than six months. McNellis said he is confident Grocery Outlet would not suffer the same fate.
"Miki's failed for a variety of reasons. One of the principle reasons was he was in a field that was too heavily populated. We have so many high-end markets and it's only getting worse," said McNellis, referring to the recent openings of an upscale Safeway on San Antonio Road in Mountain View and The Fresh Market at Edgewood Plaza in Palo Alto.
Alma Village posed other challenges that Miki's simply couldn't overcome, McNellis said.
"It's isolated. It's on the middle of the block," he explained. "You have to want to go there. That was Miki's problem. Miki's was great. It was the nicest, prettiest supermarket in all of Palo Alto, but it wasn't enough of a value proposition."
McNellis said the deep discounts offered by Grocery Outlet would draw shoppers to Alma Village.
"People will say," he said, "'Aha! If I go a mile out of my way, I can save $50 on my groceries.'"
McNellis said Grocery Outlet contacted him about taking over the retail space at Alma Village. He added that he initially tried to bring in another high-end market, but no one was interested.
"We are excited to bring Grocery Outlet to Palo Alto," MacGregor Read, co-CEO of Grocery Outlet, said in a statement Monday. "We received many requests to open a store in the area, and we're thrilled to be able to offer Palo Alto-area residents the opportunity to save 50 percent on groceries and other merchandise."
The closest Grocery Outlet stores to Palo Alto are on Broadway in Redwood City and Homestead Road in Santa Clara.
McNellis said internal sales studies and forecasts conducted by the supermarket chain have concluded that all of the new store's sales will come from Palo Alto and Mountain View. Traffic, meanwhile, is expected to be about the same as it was at Miki's Farm Fresh Market.
The lease with Grocery Outlet closes another chapter in the tumultuous history of Alma Village. For years, McNellis fought with residents to redevelop the 4.2-acre site, then known as Alma Plaza. The city council's decision to approve his plans for 37 single-family homes in 2009 was largely contingent on a new grocery store to replace the former Albertsons.
The development also includes 14 below-market-rate apartments and a small public park.

Former D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown on Tuesday learned his fate for pleading guilty to a federal bank fraud charge and a misdemeanor campaign finance charge. Part of the sentence kept him in police custody for the day, but as News4's Tom Sherwood reports, Brown will spend at least two more years paying for his crimes. (Courtroom sketch by Art Lien.)

text: At a meeting I attended last night a friend and I were really bored. She has a Toshiba netbook with Windows 7 and I have an EEE 1005HAB with Ubuntu Network Edition. So we decided to have netbook races. First system to login prompt. First to be fully up. First to connect to the local free wifi. First to boot and open a browser and go to the meeting website. First to boot and run a flash in youtube. A few others. You get the picture, we were bored, she's an engineer, I'm an engineer so we have to compare. As you might guess, my EEE even with an older cpu just smoked the Win 7 system. In every way. What you have to do to get connected to a free wifi network.... What a pain. Plus in comparison to the logical beauty that is the UNE desktop the Win 7 looks cluttery. Her words. She's going to bring her system over this weekend for me to wipe and install UNE. I don't see much info on this system with Ubuntu. Anybody have an experience?

text: I made the mistake of picking up some (over-priced) Lomography Earl Grey 120 film at that hipster store in a Detroit mall. I can't remember when the last time was that I found 120 film at a mall, so I opened my wallet with the thought that I was bleeding a little for the overall film community. It's Lomo film, so I loaded it into my Holga and used up my three rolls. Now, I happen to have one of those Holgas that do not leak light. In addition, I have added a heavy black flap to cover the film counter hole - I only lift it when I am advancing my film. There should be no possibility of light contamination, but I processed the first two rolls yesterday and I can clearly see every printed marking on the backing paper exposed on the film. I am assuming this happened in the camera and not in their production line, but I have no frame of reference for how else it could happen. This never happens with Ilford or Kodak films, so I had recently begun to think of my extra protection over the film counter to be over-kill for a non-existent problem. What bugs me is that this is a film that is specifically marketed for the Holga crowd, and if it is indeed a failure of the backing paper, then it is very poor business indeed. I have no question, and there really isn't much that bears discussion here, (unless anyone else wants to chime in) but I just wanted to vent about my wasted time, money and effort. Cheers, Tom

San Francisco Pilots Cisco's Carbon-Tracking Tool
Networking company Cisco is spearheading efforts to develop technology that can manage energy conservation and carbon footprints by collecting and processing field data. The company uses wireless networking to monitor the changing environment to track emissions from the threatened Brazilian rainforest to the Golden Gate Bridge.
According to scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change, even when considering the best-case global warming scenario, 20-40 percent of the Amazon forest could die off within 100 years. Peter Cox, professor of climate systems dynamics at the University of Exeter was quoted as saying that the loss of the Amazon would "significantly" intensify the effects of global warming.
Cisco and NASA are working together to develop a global sensor network large and advanced enough to assess conditions in the Brazilian rainforest. The Planetary Skin system is intended to be a global-monitoring system of environmental conditions. This would survey global environmental information to provide real-time situational information, thereby improving the ability to manage issues on a global and local level.
The watchful sensors of Planetary Skin, which was announced in March, will keep an eye on our resources, like energy, water, food, waste or infrastructure and analyze carbon emissions and biodiversity. The system also allows for increased risk awareness in terms of rising water levels and drought-related crop losses. Planetary Skin also calculates the spread of disease and pandemics; all through open standards based on the latest internet technologies.

OfferCraft and 7 Cedars Launch Gamification Program for Customers and Staff; Employee Engagement With Key Programs Skyrockets
Within 90 days of starting OfferCraft, employee visits to the 7 Cedars intranet and nominations for its employee of the month program both hit record highs.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 09, 2016
OfferCraft, a fast-growing software company that helps clients around the world deploy better offers and incentives, has launched its patent-pending gamification and dynamic rewards system at 7 Cedars Resort and the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course in Sequim, Washington. Patrons and staff are able to play games on site, online, in email, at the Totem Rewards desk, on social media, and even on the employee intranet for a chance to win a wide range of prizes.
OfferCraft uses gamification and next-generation loyalty tools to present offers and incentives in more psychologically exciting ways. For example, a recent OfferCraft campaign was launched to promote participation in an employee rewards program.
"The 'Give A Wow' program was in its infancy stages, and it needed a shot in the arm," said Glenn Smithson, General Manager at 7 Cedars. "So we decided to use OfferCraft games and prizes. In the first month, we had over 50% of our entire employee population participate. The Rewards and Service Manager was ecstatic! The employees couldn't stop talking about the game. And word of mouth spread to staff that had never visited the 'Give A Wow' site before."
7 Cedars has also launched a series of customer-facing games to build patron loyalty, increase the frequency of visits and average spend per visit, and promote other parts of the property. A recent 7 Cedars email campaign with an OfferCraft game embedded in it saw a 404.9% increase in the number of customers receiving rewards compared to the baseline.
"Our software acts as a kind of motivation engine for customers and employees," said Aron Ezra, CEO of OfferCraft. "The 7 Cedars team has been a wonderful partner — they really care about their key audiences, and we've been thrilled with the results so far."
7 Cedars plans to launch more OfferCraft-powered experiences across their social media and advertising channels in the coming months. And soon games will be introduced at the Dungeness Golf Course that will allow customers to win a variety of golf-themed prizes, such as a free bucket of balls, discounted play, and more.
"We expect to see similar strong results from using OfferCraft for our customer relations and acquisition programs," Smithson said. "Do yourself, your company and your patrons a favor and give this great platform a try."

Hello everyone. I've been waiting until I had something to show you before I introduce myself. I'm a new quilter and have just completed my first big quilt top (big by my standards, anyway.)
I have previously made a nine patch cot quilt which I stitched in the ditch. That was my first, and it was imperfect in many ways, but will still be good enough for the little guy who's going to receive it as a gift later this year.
My next quilt top was for a square in a square quilt with floral centres which I'm about to have professionally quilted. That will be a new experience for me. As I go I'm blogging about my experiences at http://quiltthinking.wordpress.com and that's been a fun learning experience.
Then there's this one, a four patch star quilt top which I finished last night. I'm pretty proud of this one, but still have a lot to learn. I look forward to learning from all of you. One of you posted a picture of a yellow and black carpenter's star a while back and that has been a great source of inspiration. A carpenter's star will most likely be my next project, or maybe the one after that.

Gamer Dad Attacks Teen After CoD Black Ops Heckling
When playing deathmatch or other multiplayer options online with other gamers, heckling comes with the territory, even more so for newbies still trying to figure out the benefits of certain weapons or the layout of a map. Sometimes it's just not possible to not get offended by some of the more insulting remarks without some kind of retaliation. For one father of three, he took his revenge just a little too far.
46 and unemployed, Mark Bradford of Plymouth said he "lost it" while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops over the PlayStation Network. A local 13-year-old was reportedly subjecting Bradford to a barrage of taunts and verbal abuse including the name "d***head." It suddenly became personal when the teen then gunned down Bradford's character.
"'I just lost it," Bradford admitted. "In a moment of madness I went round to the house. I didn't know what I was going to do. It wasn't malice. I just grabbed him."
That's right: Bradford hunted the teen down who conveniently lived just 200 yards up the street, barged into the house, plowed into the living room where the boy sat playing the game, and then placed both hands around the boy's neck in a "revenge attack." The teen wasn't harmed, but the clamp caused reddening and a scratch on his neck. Later the boy said he didn't know what was going on, that the two previously "had a bit of a joke and then he stormed in and grabbed me."
"I've seen him since and apologized," Bradford said after pleading guilty to the assault. "The injuries weren't that bad but I do regret it." Previously he said the boy "was baiting me and just would not shut up." Bradford reportedly has mental health issues.
According to reports, the two knew each other prior to the July 1 incident. The victim's 33-year-old mother, who remains nameless along with her son, was the one who broke off the attack by pulling Bradford away her son.
"It's pathetic that a grown man would attack a defenseless child like this," she told reporters. "If you can't handle losing to a child then you shouldn't be playing games. I know Mark and went straight round when I found out what had happened. I was fuming. But rather than have it out with him, I got the police involved."
Bradford has admitted to one count of assault by beating and was given a 16-week prison sentence at Plymouth Magistrates' Court, but the sentence has been suspended for 12 months. For now he must wear an electronic tag for eight weeks, and pay £80 compensation to the teenager. He also has a curfew of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m..

Dated 30 Sept 2011. Epic fail on THG for posting archival info as "news".
brothermistSee in my house growing up... if my dad found out I was acting this way to to an adult he would have driven me to this mans house and beat my ass in front of him. Thats if I was stupid enough to even dream of acting in this way to begin with. This is just another news story proving that it takes more than just having children to be a parent. While this man should have controlled himself better, the "parents" should be actively participating in raising their child as opposed to simply being spectators.
lp231In the past, if you done that, there will be a belt waiting for you. Now kids run amok and parents thinks it's okay and only portray what their child is in their "dream vision" while blacking out the reality of what their child is capable off. They should throw him into boot camp so they can drive some discipline into punk ass cause he lacks tons of it.
SteelCity1981Both parents are losers. One guy unemployed that's 46 years old is playing a game when he should be looking for a job instead. Then to let a 13 year old kid make him lose his temper to the point where he assulted the kid is utterly stupid and immature on his part. The parent of the 13 year old child is also a loser for allowing her 13 year old son to play a game with mature content.

Singapore - A British minister has said he is "dismayed" by the prison sentence handed to a British author convicted by a Singapore court of insulting the city-state's judiciary.Foreign office minister Jeremy Browne said in comments posted on the website of the British High Commission in Singapore that author Alan Shadrake's views on the judicial system should be covered by the right to freedom of expression.The High Court of the island republic on Tuesday imposed a six-week jail term on 76-year-old Shadrake for insulting the judiciary by publishing a book critical of executions there.The freelance journalist was also fined $15 000 following his conviction for contempt of court. He remains free pending an appeal."The government attaches importance to freedom of expression around the world," Browne said in remarks seen on the website on Friday."I am therefore dismayed that Mr Shadrake has been charged, convicted and sentenced to six weeks in jail in Singapore for expressing his personal views on the legal system."Filing appealBrowne added that the commission "would continue to call on all countries, including Singapore, to recognise the right to freedom of expression as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights".On Thursday, Shadrake said through his lawyer that he was filing an appeal to overturn the conviction, which stemmed from allegations made in his book Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock.Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) issued a sharp rebuttal to Browne's comments, saying it was "surprised" he had raised the issue and the case had nothing to do with freedom of expression."The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is surprised that a British minister has commented on the matter, which is not about freedom of expression or Singapore-UK relations, but about the integrity of Singapore's judicial system," a ministry spokesperson said."The British government should understand that Singapore has the right to enforce its own laws to protect the reputation of our judiciary and judicial system, as well as other key public institutions."However, both Browne and the MFA said Shadrake's case was unlikely to affect bilateral ties, with the British minister scheduled to make an introductory visit to Singapore in December.
Chop. He deserves his punishment. Have been to Singapore, and it works. All aspects. Unemployment, Healthcare, Pensions for the aged, No drugs, It all works. Unlike his country of origin, the UK, where all hell is breaking loose. Unlike our bleading heart liberal society, where we put our killers and drug dealers back on the streets to commit the same crimes over and over.
The British still haven't given up their colonial ways. Why do they have to try and destroy a system that works. Is it that embarrassing for them to admit that the British justice systems sucks

With the advent of affordable and accurate power meters, wattage is all the rage. Although power meters have been around for years, they're finally starting to become standard equipment for competitive and recreational cyclists alike.
Naturally (and unfortunately) simply having a power meter won't make you stronger, but when used wisely you can make massive performance gains.
Many things can be looked at with a power meter, and with the manufacturers packing so many features and graphs into the software it can become quite confusing. Let me simplify this for you.
It doesn't matter how much power you can generate in a sprint if you're not there to bump elbows with the lead bunch and participate. Sit up all night and sharpen your elbows as much as you want, but what's going to get you sprinting with the lead bunch is your maximum sustainable power. Athletes with a high sustainable power and a good head win races, plain and simple.
Preparing for the Split
In many amateur races a split in the field occurs long before the sprint is in sight. This split is often dictated by terrain, weather conditions or, more commonly, a grueling pace set by strong teams and individual riders. This split is the most important part of the race for many riders in the peloton.
Generally, the riders that make the split will not only have the maximum sustainable power required to stay with the lead bunch but also the ability to repeat this effort as the breakaway matures. This is the point when the data you collected with your power meter can become extremely valuable.
Power meters and the data they collect are equally useful in racing as in training. Outside of knowing what level of power you're able to produce and how long you can sustain that power before you fall apart, the data collected can provide invaluable information for directing your training.
This is particularly true when it comes to increasing your maximum sustainable power (the power you need to make it into the breakaway or through the winning selection), your maximum repeatable power (the power you need to handle or initiate surges) and your sprint power.
Powering Up
The first step is dissecting files from races or strenuous group rides and noting the power required at key points—splits, hills, breaks, sprints, etc.—or, more generally, the physiological demands of the event. These demands are relatively easy to isolate if you're placing markers at key points while racing. This is assuming you can see straight enough to press the correct buttons.
What you're looking for in past files are the areas where you ran into difficulty or where the split occurred. Early on in the race, these splits will usually be caused by a consistent, high pace rather than the explosive efforts required for smaller breakaways, so what you're looking for in the files are the longer periods of higher power outputs.
Identify the power you needed to produce while you were holding the pace, then make note of how long you were able to hold that power before failing to make the split. If you survived the first split but fell off the pace in the second or even third surge, then you need to be looking at the repeatability of the efforts as well as the sustainable power required in each effort.
Increasing Maximum Sustainable Power
In order to increase the sustainable power you can produce as well as your ability to repeat those efforts you first need to identify your lactate threshold (LT) power. This can be obtained through laboratory testing or through a couple three-mile time trial efforts. Most experienced cyclists can complete a three-mile time trial at an average power that's about ten percent above their lactate threshold power.

What famous photo agency with their very own gossip website has been giving free coke to Brooke Mueller?

Labels: blind item
NOW could you please stop posting that bogus Buzzfoto bullshit and give us more of YOUR blinds? :-)
TMZ is no photo agency.
WOW. "out out damn spot!"
WHAT?!? ok, that is just amoral and sick!
X17 no doubt
That is the lowest of the low. Disgusting.
wow that is scandalous how sad!
Hearing shit like this makes me feel bad for Brooke rather than as a wiling participant in her own destruction. Karma is a bitch and I hope that photo agency learns that.

Definitely X17 - they are the filth of tabloid trash. Back during Britney's meltdown, they were paying Sam Lufti for dirt/access.
@ Ida - unfortunately, I think the "Enty" with REAL insider info to write his/her own blinds no longer exists. :(
Audrey, I guess you missed this past reveal day. ;)
@ Mooshki, I read them and they were good, but those blinds were written over the last 6 months. Honestly, the last couple of weeks have been pretty thin with the blinds. See also my comment on the Daughter/Father incest story. Why is this gossip?
@Audrey -- I've been reading this site for several years -- maybe not since the first post, but at least since CDAN's first year. For better or worse, Enty's prose has NOT changed -- whether you like the dude's writing style or not, it's distinctive, it's sardonic, and it's very consistent. :-)
I don't know him personally -- though some other CDANers do -- but I'm convinced he's a bigtime industry insider. Is he a lawyer? I don't know about THAT. But I definitely think that he lives in Hollywood and is extremely well-connected.
And his blinds HAVE been proven correct. Unlike, say, Buzzfoto's, for instance.
Too much cocaine talk.
What about Enty'snrecent blurb and associated BI's about Estella Warren's trainwreck? Someone contributing to this site had to be a lawyer or publicist with a close relationship to her and at least one of her ex-boyfriends.
OT: Check out the puff piece plugging BI sleaze-boy Wilmer V.
BTW, what if this "free" cocaine is actually being paid for by Charlie?
TMZ or X17 ?
If it's X17, I guess that explains the Lindsey Lohan situation pretty well, too.
Not TMZ. Harvey knows better. I'd say X17 or Radar.

Remember when your brand was shiny and new? Branding materials are always reflective of the design norms prevalent at the time they were created. You may think your brand is timeless, but it's easy to become complacent after a few years. Fonts, colors and graphic elements (remember swooshes?) can all show their age in the presence of new design trends.

Has it been several years – or maybe more – since your company website was updated? Maybe you've heard the term "CMS" tossed around and are wondering what it's all about. Today, many sites are being programmed using a CMS platform, and yours probably should be, too.
We recently completed a long-term web design project for BerkleyNet, a leading provider of workers compensation services. Our task? To completely revamp their heavily-used agent and policyholder web portals.
We've posted a handful of new case studies on recent web design projects. Have a look here to see how we helped clients like Triad Tech Partners, Crisis1, and ReveraGen with brand new looks and functions for their corporate websites.
Drilled down to the basics, marketing is all about getting noticed. You can do great work, produce a great product, provide the best customer service – but none of that matters if your market isn't even aware of your company's existence.
How do you feel about the colors pale pink and baby blue? If you're like most of our clients, your reaction to using these in your company materials is "no way!" Often seen as childish and too "soft" for business, pink and blue rarely show up in corporate collateral.
One of the hallmarks of a good corporate website is having a great-looking About Us or Staff section, where the employees' photographs are consistent with the corporate profile, and look the absolute best they can. How do you achieve this? Time to call a professional photographer.
Determining your company's personality is a great way to create and manage your brand. Is your corporate profile playful? Wise? Powerful? Quirky? Defining a personality can open up creative ways to develop your marketing collateral and ensure your market recognizes you. It also makes it easier to maintain consistency across web and print materials – just give each piece your corporate personality quiz.
As a designer, I've noticed that there's a trend toward the generic in logo design. The still-popular 'swooshes' from the '90s, overused fonts, people as nature objects – all are cliches. Granted, thousands of business are started every year so we're bound to see copycat logos. But the dumbing down of logos is largely due to the availability of "free" resources on the web.
Does your company send holiday greetings? Do you mail a pre-printed holiday card, send gifts, or use email? We design custom holiday emails for our clients, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year's. They have found that email is a great way to connect with their customers because it's a multi-tasker, with the ability to target different lists, personalize the salutation, and include a special deal or offer. Another plus: They get higher open rates on holiday emails as opposed to other times of the year.

BEREA -- If Browns owner Jimmy Haslam were to turn over control of the team because of future developments in the federal investigation of Pilot Flying J, his father would take over the team, Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal reported.
Haslam and the NFL developed a contingency plan after Pilot Flying J's headquarters were raided April 15 by the FBI, Kaplan reported, citing sources.
It's not a surprise that his father would be the choice to take temporary leadership.
Jim Haslam II, 83, founded Pilot in 1958 and gave up day-to-day control to Jimmy in 1997. Haslam II played offensive lineman on the University of Tennessee's national championship team in 1951. He accompanied his son to Cleveland last summer when Haslam agreed to buy the Browns from Randy Lerner for $1 billion.
"No decision to step back has been made, so looking into who would take over is purely speculative," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email. "Jimmy is the best judge of how to keep the focus of the Browns on football and the fans."
Haslam has repeatedly denied knowing about the fraud scheme at Pilot Flying J to cheat trucking companies of their proper rebates. Seven employees have pleaded guilty and more than 20 trucking companies have filed lawsuits.
Haslam said last month at the start of training camp that he's optimistic about the outcome of the investigation and his family plans to own the Browns for a long time.

wikiHow to Start a Chain Letter
Two Methods:Sample Chain LettersStarting Your Own Chain LetterCommunity Q&A
Chain letters are messages written to a person, that attempts to get the person to copy the message and send it to a specified number of people, word for word. Chain letters often include stories, jokes, poems and scary stories and some may threaten the reader with bad luck or to be killed the same way as a character in the story, if they do not copy the message and send it to the specified number of people. Of course, these threats are a part of the joke, and do not mean to truly threaten the person in any way (though some people believe these threats). This article is by no means an article to show you how to spam web pages or threaten people, but rather how to start one of these chain letters.
Sample Chain Letters
Starting Your Own Chain Letter
1Understand the format of a chain letter. Chain letters usually include a story, poem, joke, recipe, quiz, a bunch of mis-attributed quotes, political rant, dire warning, or any combination of the above. The more outlandish and dishonest the better, since, as a chain originator, you're not going for accuracy, you're trying to be a jerk and manipulate as many people into passing on this kruft as possible. Then comes an attempt to get the reader to copy the message and send it to the specified number of, or as many users as possible. Read the examples on the side of this article for some examples.
- Example letter from "Mary"
- If you're reading this you can't stop. Hi my name is Mary. I'm 15, I have long black hair, and no nose. I'm in a white dress, and if you don't copy this on 5 other videos, I will stand behind you with a knife, and kill you. If you do I will give you a prize.
- Example letter from "Mary"
2Come up with a joke or story. Any combination of jokes, a scary story, or a joke to get a free computer from IBM are all typical chain letter jokes. You can write one of these typical chain letters, or write something creative.
- Example joke story:
- A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room. The father said, "Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand.
- Example joke story:
3Find a way to get the reader to spread the message. If you wrote a scary story, like the clown story, you can say that if they do not copy the message and send it to a certain number of people, the same will happen to them. If you wrote a joke, you can just say to copy and send to people. Love chain letters often have a number of people they must be sent to, and if it is sent to 5, something will happen, 10, something else will happen, etc.
- Example viral trigger:
- Don't delete……if you love someone…. This is scary. If you don't, the following will happen to you …. (you will find out later on). Now listen……… you will probably think…. This chain letter, like most chain letters, is full of crap and does not work. But guess...... [1]
- Example viral trigger:
4You can also use the guilt-trip angle, this usually accompanies a mushy or sad tale. See the infamous Billy Evans article as an example.[2]
5Decide how you will send it. You can send it in mail, email, or post it as a comment for a certain thing. If posting online, be wary of what the site considers spam. Obviously, you don't want to post chain letters on wikiHow, your comment may be removed.
6Send the chain letter.
7Be patient. It takes a long time for a chain letter to be spread to many people. You yourself may have to send it to many people to get it going, because many people do not obey the orders in a chain letter.
Community Q&A
Where do people get chain letters?wikiHow ContributorSome people make up their own chain letters, while other people copy from the internet.
- Do not by any means include any harmful software with your chain letters! You could be prosecuted for including any malicious worms, and they can be very harmful.
- Realize that some people really believe in chain letters. Although it cannot be confirmed, it is believed that an anonymous recipient believed the chain letters they received, and had to take counseling.
- Certain types of chain letters can be illegal in the United States, specifically, pyramid schemes or similar topics. It is advised that you don't go beyond jokes, love stories, and scary stories. It is advisable not to start chain letters at all since they are manipulative junk, annoying at best, fraudulent at worst.
- Do not include anything to do with you. If you say "If you don't forward this to 10 people i will stab your sister"They could call the police.

Tony Fitzpatrick's American Trilogy and Epilogue: This Train, Stations Lost, Nickel History, & The Midnight City 2010-2014
Four multi-media plays that house a series of film and video art works that I conceptualize, direct, produce, shoot, animate, edit, and integrate into the theatrical production. The pieces perform on stage as poetic experimental films, documenting the concept and form of Tony's, painting, drawing-collage and etching works that inspire each play. The shows are a collaboration between Tony Fitzpatrick (artist/writer/performer), Stan Klein (writer/performer), Ann Filmer (theater director/writing adaptation), John Rice (music director/musical performance) and Kristin Reeves (film & video director/producer/writer/ editor/animation). The short videos run throughout the live show, which is a cross between oral history, documentary, and poetry.
The Midnight City
The Midnight City, my latest theater collaboration. I produced over 100 of videos of various lengths that ran throughout the 90-minute live show.
CPS Closings and Delays, 02:38 continuous looping, Pre-show film installation, Steppenwolf Garage Theater, Chicago 2014. The Chicago Board of Education made history on May 22, 2013 by approving a plan to close 49 elementary schools and one high school. This 100' roll of film documented the state of those schools on July 28 - 30, 2014. I edited the film by distressing it with bleach and then labeled it with the name of the corresponding neighborhoods.

Jump to: Colours and Material // Size and Security // Windows and Installation // Conclusion
Sectional Garage Doors vs Roller Shutter Garage Doors
In the UK the majority of customers looking for any new or replacement garage door can immediately understand the operation of a roller garage door; it is definitely a very neat and compact door design and fits most garage structural openings. The sectional overhead garage door however takes a bit more explaining and understanding and yet in the USA and Europe it is the biggest selling garage door type and has been for many years - Why is this?
The roller shutter garage door can be fitted to nearly every shape of garage opening either inside, inbetween or in front of the aperture with no internal tracking giving a door with a neat, compact style operation.
The sectional garage door however does requires space inside the garage for the horizontal tracks to run, but that's about all the differences in the basic mechanism and why one is not suitable compared to the other. Both doors open and close vertically and the roller door does actually need quite a lot more headroom to accomodate the roll, so why do we not look at the sectional garage door as an option more often, both doors can be fitted behind any shape of garage after all. The answer seems to be simply down to publicity and awareness and the roller garage door is very well promoted in the UK and the sectional garage door generally so far is not. The roller garage door is easy for a salesman or company to price, sell and install and for a customer to understand so in many ways it is the easy, safe option to aim for. The sectional garage door should always be considered however and in many cases you would get a lot more door for your money.
Have a look at the differences below:
Door Designs and Finishes
The roller garage door has the one design only – horizontal lines. The only options are in colour surface finishes and subtle differences in the curtain slats used from different manufacturers or in the case of the steel continuous curtain roller door even smaller differences. The surface finish is only ever a smooth paint finish or a subtle woodgrain laminate foil coating
The sectional garage door has many designs to choose from and almost any colour paint finish you can think of as well as woodgrain and metallic laminate finishes. The metal front face surface is available in smooth, woodgrain textured, micrograin ribbed, stucco textured and the various effects given by either metallic laminate finishes or woodgrain effects.
Look at timber sectional doors and the designs that can be achieved are endless with modern computer routing techniques into compsite timber panels, even vertical lines for a traditional period look.
The majority of roller garage doors have a good but limited amount of colour painted finishes but a good choice of laminate finishes available such as golden oak, rosewood or mahogany and many others. Sectional garage doors are pretty much available in any RAL or BS paint finish colours with a few exceptions for some obscure fluorescent or special colours.
The laminate wood grain finishes for sectional doors are more limited than the roller door options but sectional doors are also available in some very trendy, modern metallic surface finishes, Anthracite for example, and these finishes are only generally available on sectional and front entrance doors.
Roller garage doors are either produced in foam filled double skinned aluminium slats joined together by a profile at the top and bottom of each slat or in continuous steel single skin curtains - one large steel sheet with horizontal ribbed profiles that means the entire sheet can roll around itself.
Several attempts have been made to produce roller dors in Upvc but have all failed in their final construction and longevity. Timber roller doors are not possible for garage doors sizes and GRP has never been an option. A cheap inferior slat used in constructing a roller garage door will usually give a very short life span as the wear and tear from binding and grinding when the slats deflect will cause the door to drag and damage all moving parts, and there are many in the average roller door so do your research and a simple tip is to make sure the slats are produced in Northern Europe and not an adaptation of a slat used in a basic window shutter for sun protection in Spain or France for example. Many very cheap components of course are finding their way in from China and also include cheap electric motors with non replaceable parts as they are produced in large one off batches.
Sectional garage doors are available in single skin and double skin galvanised steel panels of varying depths, GRP (fibreglass) panels, timber panels and even aluminium panels and the panel finishes vary greatly in the overall effects that the panels display. The economy of single skin steel, the strength and superb insulation of double skinned insulated steel, the beauty and warmth of timber and GRP and the modern feel of aluminium are all options for sectional doors.
Generally steel is the most economical, then aluminium, then GRP, and finally timber is the most expensive option as they are handmade and produced in well selected timber species with minimal risk of warping. Again the best sectional doors are produced in Germany and GRP sectional doors only in the UK.
A roller garage door from any major UK manufacturer normally has a maximum width of about 5.2 metres wide and 3 metres high. The sectional doors manufactured in double skinned foam filled steel panels can be manufactured up to 8 metres wide and 3 metres high or 5 metres high if you use industrial specification mechanism. These huge sizes can also be a spring assisted manual operation if required where the roller garage door constructed from double skinned slats has a maximum width in manual operation of about 3 metres wide and always has to always be electrically operated over this width. All roller and sectional garage doors can be made to measure for a perfect fit.
The roller garage door is either spring assisted for manual operation or electric operated with either a tube motor set inside the roller barrel out of the way or an external fitted motor driving the roller barrel via a gear cog or a chain mechanism. The sectional garage door is always primarily produced as a manual door and uses either a torsion or tension spring mechanism lifting the door panels smoothly during operation. The spring(s) are either at the sides of the door, above the door, at the front or back or with some models above the door but running lengthways, following the horizontal door guide tracks.
The choice of spring positions combined with the choice of radius for the curve of the tracks means the sectional door can be optimised when required according to the headroom, ceiling height or length inside the garage. Height requirements for standard sectional door gear varies from 100mm to 230mm with other special options available on request. The side room required either side is between 75 and 90mm on most sectioanl garage doors, 125mm for the very large doors up to 8 metres wide.
Most roller garage doors require between 205mm and 450mm of headroom for the curtain roll to operate without encroaching on the opening height (usually the lintel height if possible) and with this kind of height required it is rare to install one underneath the lintel of the garage opening, they are nearly always fitted behind. The single skin continuous roller doors do need generally more headroom than the individual slat construction of the aluminium roller doors. The side room required either side is between 60 to 100mm for most standard roller doors
Roller garage doors are generally very secure apart from the single skinned steel version in its basic form. Double skinned aluminium roller doors are generally more secure and the SWS Seceuroglide Excel aluminium roller door even has a level 1 secured by design insurance rating and when installed correctly will provide high levels of resistance to attempted forced entries at all sizes. Security is quite a big issue with roller doors and many do have a weak point in that they can lack proper mechanisms at the top of the curtain to sufficiently hold the door secure and prevent a forced opening from the bottom. The leading manufacturers use various methods to overcome this.
The sectional doors are secure by the very nature of their design and mechanism with door panels set behind a sturdy steel framework and generally 5 rollers either side on a standard door providing great lateral resistance. The only weak point is when a basic handle and locking system is used on a manually operated door meaning if the lock is compromised access would be quiet and easy for an intruder. Most leading manufacturers use a high security europrofile cylinder locking system with strong rotary latches secured inside to the side tracks. Many high quality electric operators fitted as an option to sectional doors have excellent extra security design features over and above just the motor and towing arm attachment holding the door closed. A good quality electric operator installed with a double skinned steel sectional door will give a big challenge to any would be intruder!
Windows and Glazing
Roller garage doors can only have a limited amount of small glazing cut out sections in the individual curtain slats and whilst this does give some vision and light, it is minimal and not possible in the continuous steel roller door curtain door.
Sectional garage doors in every material and panel design offered can have small, medium or large window sections fitted with extra glazing bar designs if required in single and double glazed specifications. Arched designs and modern stainless steel designer windows are also readily available now to create a real statement on your home. Although generally only fitted into the top panel it is possible to add windows to nearly all the panels in the door or even opt for a commercial specification door that is almost entrirely glazed top to bottom!
Many sectional garage door designs also now have high quality matching entrance doors to give a perfect co ordinated look.
Insulation and Sealing
A roller garage door produced using aluminium foam filled double skinned slats, which are usually about 19mm thick obviously offers a reasonable degree of insulation but there are no accurate published 'U' values as the roller door curtain effectively has a small gap between each slat as they interlock with each other, metal to metal. Figures are published for some manufacturers but these have to be taken as very rough as there are so many variables when installing a roller door and many tiny gaps that can reduce the U value quoted.
The majority of manufacturers making sectional garage door panels in either 42 or 45mm thick foam filled sections also have rubber seals between usually only 4 panels on a standard door and rubber seals to the top, side and bottom. On a well constructed, square garage opening you can achieve very high levels of insulation with consistent tested 'U' values achievable as the seals work more effectively even when the opening may not be square There are even upgraded insulation rubber seals now offered from companies such as Hormann for extra insulation with insulated fascia panels available where required.
Emergency Opening Method
For an electric operated insulated roller door the basic override system when faced with a power cut is an internal winding manual mechanism to wind the door up through a geared section on the motor and the same in reverse to close. The Hormann and Garador roller doors have a full release from the external fitted motor and a spring balance allowing simple push up and pull down operation when released.
A sectional garage door is always primarily a manually operated door first and the electric motors are optional so when fitted to a door and requiring releasing in a power failure it is a matter of releasing the motor towing arm from inside or outside by the handle or a key mechanism and then the door can be lifted and closed as it would if it was a manual door, with the assistance of spring balance so very easy as well. Both the roller and sectional door motors can also have emergency battery back up systems installed to give several electric operations without mains power available.
A conclusion is really not possible as the real trick is to always consider the sectional garage door as a very real option to the roller garage door before making a decision based simply on familiarity with the roller door mechanism. The sectional garage door does win on most technical and design options and as we said at the start only has one negative point and that is only relevant to people who do not like tracks in their garage. Bear in mind though the tracks are normally higher than a normal up and over door as well as wider so tend to be out of the way and can be specified at different heights anyway if your ceiling is high. You make your own mind up but we are here to help with prices, technical information, sizes and installation details.
Certainly if the door is to be over 5 metres wide (16'5") we would recommend the sectional garage door with a double skin construction as this door is manufactured in the same thickness of panel up to 7500mm wide with very little, if any panel deflection. This panel type is very strong indeed and supplied by Hormann or Carteck primarily.
DO NOT buy a cheap electric aluminium roller garage door!! Too many so called roller garage door experts are selling low priced double skinned aluminium roller garage doors nowadays due to the popularity and they are very risky. Inferior parts internally and insufficient safety mechanisms make these roller doors cheap but also a nightmare for you, the user. See our summary page on Roller Doors > . Look to pay at least £750 upwards for a descent quality single sized insulated roller garage door and if your budget is less you are better off buying a single skin steel roller door from the likes of Gliderol or looking at a single skin steel sectional door for reliability long term from either Hormann, Garador or Gliderol.
There isn't really a bad sectional garage door as they are all produced as manually operated doors in the first instance with electric operation optional. Many models are on the UK market from the USA but are far removed from the quality of the European manufactured doors - Hormann, Carteck, Garador, Novoferm to name the 4 main ones.
One of the best features of a quality sectional door such as Hormann or Carteck is the panels are all predrilled unlike cheaper sectional doors where the whole kit will be like a huge great jigsaw puzzle for assembly with holes to be drilled everywhere.

What a sorry state America is in when voters can't trust elected officials to keep their campaign promises. A Gallup poll released earlier this week showed that Congress has reached a new low, gaining the approval of just 9 percent of Americans. This breaks last year's dismal 10 percent, the previous record.
Gallup has been gauging Americans' perception Congress' performance since 1974. The average approval rating is 33 percent with the 56 percent all-time high registered immediately after Sept. 11, 2001.
The sad but true joke on Capitol Hill is that if it weren't for paid staff and blood relatives, today's 9 percent rating would be lower. On Fox News, Sen. John McCain said that since his 101-year-old mother recently called him out, he's no longer confident that Congress can even maintain a mother's support.
McCain may be laughing, but he's an excellent example of why the country doesn't believe politicians. During his 2008 presidential campaign, McCain pledged to "complete the dang fence," a reference to securing the border between Mexico and the United States. In his 2010 Senate re-election bid, McCain repeated his promise.
Then, in 2012, McCain joined the Gang of Eight that introduced a 1,000-plus page bill that translated into huge immigration increases — but with border enforcement to come five years down the line, if ever. McCain told Washington reporters that he expects to run again in 2016 when he'll be 80. The chances are that's one promise McCain will keep and, worse, that he'll be re-elected.
The Washington mindset reflects the devious strategy: Tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, and people will eventually believe you.
Enter President Obama: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." From 2008 to 2010, Obama reiterated the same assurance multiple times.
Because of the Obamacare fiasco, Americans are reasonably asking themselves if the president can be trusted. The polling results on Obama's trustworthiness are better than Congress' favorability score, but still troubling. A Quinnipiac University survey found that 52 percent of Americans say that Obama is not "honest or trustworthy."
For a president elected twice because voters perceived him as honest and competent, losing the people's confidence represents a major setback. If America spends two more years questioning the president's good faith, the nation could become permanently cynical by the time 2016 rolls around.
Millions of Americans have already had their health insurance cancelled. Within months, as many as 23 to 41 million could lose also lose their insurance. In October, only 106,000 signed up for Obamacare, less than 2 percent of the 7 million the Department of Health and Human Services predicted would do so.
The next crunch date is two weeks away, when the administration projects that HealthCare.gov will finally be fully functional. Technical experts think the Nov. 30 date is too optimistic. If they're right, a new crisis of confidence will emerge.
Obama's best path out of the muck would be to get behind Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu's bill that would let people retain their canceled insurance, allowing the president to keep his often-made promise dating back to 2008.
In an announcement late Thursday afternoon, Obama made a compromise statement that he would allow insurance companies to keep people on their original health care. "Allowing," however, is not the same as "requiring."
After everything is said and done, what it boils down to is that the federal government is simply incapable of managing an insurance program as massive as Obamacare. The best option is to cut loses, and repeal Obamacare sooner rather than later. As I recall, the public was never for it in the first place.

The ducks - decorated as Santas, Snowmen and other holiday figures - were seized by officers and import specialists at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The customs agency said that it worked with the US Consumer Products Safety Commission in determining that the ducks contain an excessive level of a regulated phthalate, a chemical used to make vinyl and plastics soft and flexible.
The rubber ducks were valued at more than $18,000 (£11,200).
Chinese manufactured toys have come under heavy scrutiny in recent years. In November last year, a study conducted by Greenpeace and IPEN found that 32.6% of toys tested were tainted.
Studies determined one in three toys - purchased in Chinese cities – contained heavy metals, and that one in 10 contained excessive levels of lead.
In 2007, the world's biggest toy maker Mattel was forced to recall more than 800,000 of its Barbie-related products manufactured in China due to high levels of lead paint.

Armed dissidents 'will not succeed'
Armed groups in Northern Ireland will not be allowed to succeed, Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson has vowed.
Mr Paterson told the Conservative Party Conference the Government is determined to bring Northern Ireland "back into the mainstream of UK politics" - which would involve disrupting and pursuing violent dissidents who are trying to undermine progress in the province.
He conceded there had been some "hideously difficult moral compromises" and "immensely tough decisions" during the peace process but insisted they had been the "right calls".
Mr Paterson said: "The constitutional issues are settled. Northern Ireland's position within the union is rock solid so long as that's the wish of its people.
"But there are still some dangerous armed groups out there who want to destroy what's been achieved and drag Northern Ireland back to a bloody past. And even though they have virtually no popular support, their activities have increased in recent years.
"We don't underestimate the threat they pose, but they offer nothing and we will not let them succeed - and we'll do everything in our power to pursue these criminals, to disrupt them and prevent them from achieving their aims."
Mr Paterson repeated the Government's position that there will be "no more costly and open-ended public inquiries" as he said the coalition will consult widely with victims' groups and local politicians on how to deal with Northern Ireland's "troubled past".
Meanwhile, police in Northern Ireland are to launch a major security operation against dissident republicans over the next number of days, a senior officer announced.
The planned increase in police checkpoints and patrols comes in the wake of Monday night's car bomb blast in Londonderry - the latest in a series of attacks blamed on the violent renegades this year.
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie told the monthly meeting of the NI Policing Board that the public may face disruption as a result of the operations.

Militias complicate situation on Texas border
On a recent moonlit night, Border Patrol agents began rounding up eight immigrants hiding in and around a canal near the Rio Grande. A state trooper soon arrived to help. Then out of the darkness emerged seven more armed men in fatigues. Agents assumed the camouflaged crew that joined in pulling the immigrants from the canal's milky green waters was a tactical unit from the Texas Department of Public Safety. Only later did they learn that the men belonged to the Texas Militia, a group that dresses like a SWAT team and carries weapons but has no law-enforcement training or authority of any kind. The situation ended peacefully with the immigrants getting arrested and the Border Patrol advising the militia members "to properly and promptly" identify themselves anytime they encounter law-enforcement officers. But the episode was unsettling enough for the Border Patrol to circulate an "issue paper" warning other agents. The presence of armed militia members working on their own in a region known for human smuggling, drug smuggling and illegal immigration has added one more variable to an already complex and tense situation...more

Enforcing Canadian Judgments in Israel
This article addresses the risks to Israelis being sued in Ontario, Canada. Sometimes there is a tendency for Israeli defendants to ignore Ontario lawsuits. Perhaps they feel judgment proof because they have no assets in Canada. That may be unwise. Ontario may assume jurisdiction and grant judgments against Israeli defendants. Such judgments may be enforceable in Israel leaving the defendant's assets in Israel vulnerable to collection.
Israelis sued in Ontario are at risk. Sometimes these defendants ignore Ontario lawsuits because they have no assets in Canada. That may be unwise. Ontario courts, under certain circumstances, will assume jurisdiction and grant judgments against Israeli defendants. Such judgments may be enforceable in Israel under private international law and the principles of comity. Israelis named as defendants in Ontario litigation should contact competent lawyers in both jurisdictions to strategize about how to deal with litigation commenced in a court in Canada.
Why Should Israelis Care If They Are Sued In A Foreign Jurisdiction?
When faced with a court case in a foreign country there could be many rationalizations for the Israeli defendant to not want to go to Canada and deal with the Ontario litigation. Firstly there may be concurrent litigation in the Israel. Secondly, there is a concept in law of Attornment. When a defendant appears in the Ontario court and disputes the case on the merits that defendant will be taken to have consented to the jurisdciton of the court even if it otherwise would not have had the authority to deal with the case. As well the Israeli defendant may feel little risk because he has no assets in Canada and he suspects that the plaintiff lacks the resources or will to pursue the matter in Israel. This thinking may be flawed.
Failure by the Israeli defendant to respond may result in default judgment against them in the Ontario court. The Canadian Plaintiff may hire an Israeli Attorney to successfully enforce the Ontario judgment in Israel. Israelis who ignore litigation against them in Ontario do so at their own peril.
The issue of litigation between Israeli and Canadian business people has become more important as trade and business between the countries has increased. The State of Israel and the Government of Canada have successfully fostered trade between the two countries through the removal of trade barriers. The free trade treaty came into effect in 1997(FN 1). The Canada Israel Chamber of Commerce provided statistics from 2007 showing Israel being the 37th highest importer of Canadian products (FN2) and 38th highest exporter (FN3). In his article on Free Trade Dov Mishor of Ben Gurion University points out that the Free Trade Agreements significantly enhanced exports and imports.(FN4)
To appreciate the risks one has to understand that as cross border commerce increased courts and legislatures on both sides of the border had to deal with disputes. Imagine an Ontario manufacturer selling its products to an Israeli distributor located in Tel Aviv. The Israeli says the products are flawed and the Canadian wants to get paid. Do they go to a court in Ontario or Tel Aviv? Does the law of Israel or Ontario govern? It may be that in accordance with the principles of private international law, comity and forum non conveniens both Israel and Ontario have jurisdiction and the courts have to address which is the most appropriate jurisdiction to deal with the case. In our case scenario outlined above the Tel Aviv defendant who ignored the law suit in Ontario may find the Israeli court enforcing the Ontario judgment.
For example, in Ahava (USA) Inc v JWG Ltd (Jer DC 3137/04) an American company bought Israeli products and sold them in the US under the US registered trademark.(FN5) The Israeli company also sold its products worldwide through its website. Some of the products sold on the website used the American company's trademark. The American successfully obtained an injunction forbidding the Israeli company from selling those products with the US company's trademark. They then obtained an order from the Israeli court to enforce the American order in Israel. Given the Israeli court's willingness to enforce Foreign orders under certain circumstances Israeli companies would be reckless in not retaining counsel to address a court action against them in Canada.
First Step – Determine Vulnerability to Assets Being Seized:
The Israeli defendant would be wise to assess what assets are at risk if an Ontario judgement is made against them. If there are assets in Ontario there is a substantial risk. If there are only assets in Israel then Israeli counsel should be consulted to determine the chances of an Israeli court enforcing an Ontario judgment. Before deciding whether to defend the Ontario lawsuit it is imperative to figure out if in accordance with relevant Israeli legislation and the principles of private international law the judgment of the Ontario court would be enforceable in Israel.
If the defendant only has assets in Israel and they are such that those assets are statutory insulated from collection then that is a relevant consideration in determining whether to come to court in Ontario. Both Ontario Counsel for the Plaintiff and the legal advisors for the defendant would be wise to review the differing thresholds for collection in each jurisdiction. Assuming that they are the same in each jurisdiction could be a costly mistake. For example, in some jurisdicitons judgment debtors have far greater protection. While in Ontario a successful Plaintiff may seize the judgment debtor's prime residence in some other jurisdictions that is not the case. In Ontario there are limits to how much you can garnish a judgment debtor's wages. The same may not apply in the other jurisdiction.
Second Step - retain Ontario Lawyers to determine if there are grounds to dispute Ontario Court's Jurisdiction:
In Ontario the test for assuming jurisdiction involving a foreign defendant was addressed in the seminal case of Muscutt v Courceles (2002) 60 O.R. (3d) 20. (FN6). The Muscutt test was adjusted by the Court of Appeal in Van Breda v. Village Resorts Limited, 2010 ONCA 84, (FN7). The exact nature of the test for determining jurisdiction of Ontario courts over foreign defendant will hopefully be clarified as the Supreme Court of Canada has granted leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision on this case. (FN8). As of the writing of this article this case has been judicially considered in Canada 22 times. For a clear review of the evolution of the test used by Ontario Courts for assuming jurisdiction of foreign defendants see Sona Dhawan's February 17th, 2010 blog "Muscutt Quintet Test Simplified in Van Breda". (FN9). For the purposes of this article it is unnecessary to review the Van Breda case in detail other than to say the Court of Appeal wanted, in their words, "tune-up" the Muscutt test "after seven years in the trenches". In summary, under the new test a preliminary analysis is conducted to determine if there is a presumption that a "real and substantial connection" exists between the conflict and Ontario. The court will then look at two main issues
1. The connection between the forum and the plaintiff's claim and
2. The connection between the forum and the defendant.
The other 6 factors set out under Muscutt are "analytic tools" used to weigh the connection between the forum, claim and defendant.
Until the Supreme Court of Canada rules otherwise the Ontario Court of Appeal test articulated in Van Breda stands. The Supreme Court of Canada will not nullify the principles of comity or forum non conveniens. There is no going back to the time where an Ontario Court will not assume jurisdiction over a foreign defendant. However, what will be addressed is the exact nature and evolution of the test set out in Muscutt. Van Breda has already been followed 12 times by different courts in Canada. In is also important to remember that the Supreme Court of Canada has addressed the issue in four key decisions in the early 1990s (FN10). As set out in paragraph 40 of the Ontario Court of Appeal decision "As Sopinka J. explained in Amchem, supra, at p. 912, "[f]requently there is no single forum that is clearly the most convenient or appropriate for the trial of the action but rather several which are equally suitable alternatives."
Where more than one forum is capable of assuming jurisdiction, the most appropriate forum is determined through the forum non conveniens doctrine, which allows a court to decline to exercise its jurisdiction on the ground that there is another forum more appropriate to entertain the action." Those decisions make it clear that that the Supreme Court of Canada has accepted that while more than one forum may have jurisdiction to hear a case, each jurisdiction should exercise jurisdiction if it identifies its forum as the most appropriate forum for the litigation in accordance with the principles of international comity (FN11).
If it is in the defendant's interest to not litigate in Ontario the lawyer should review the case law and determine if there are grounds to dispute jurisdiction. For example, did the plaintiff commit fraud? Did the litigation process result in a denial of natural justice to the defendant? Would assumption of jurisdiction offend public policy? The following additional questions should be addressed:
• the location of the majority of the parties
• the location of key witnesses and evidence
• contractual provisions that specify applicable law or accord jurisdiction
• the avoidance of a multiplicity of proceedings
• the applicable law and its weight in comparison to the factual questions to be decided
• geographical factors suggesting the natural forum
• whether declining jurisdiction would deprive the plaintiff of a legitimate juridical advantage available in the domestic court.
Given that the law in every jurisdiction may be different there are often advantages to the litigants in different jurisdictions. For example, if the Ontario limitation period has lapsed and the Israeli jurisdiction's limitation period has not lapsed it makes sense for the plaintiff to litigate in the Israel. Accordingly, disputes about forum are common. For anyone involved in cross border litigation it is prudent to consult with attorneys/lawyers who know the law in both jurisdictions to ensure that the issues of jurisdiction and vulnerability to judgments are addressed.

FN9. Sona Dhawan reviews the Muscutt case and its treatment in Ontario. In that case the Ontario Court of appeal indicated that there must be a real and substantial connection between the dispute and Ontario before a court can assume jurisdiction over an out of province party. That 8 pronged test was reviewed, revised and simplified by the Ontario Court of Appeal in Van Breda v. Village Resorts Limited. It is an interesting blog and a worthwhile read.
