Cause for Dismissal
Just cause for dismissal is the capital punishment of employment law. An employer has the right to dismiss an employee, without notice or pay, if the employee's misconduct is so bad that no reasonable employer should be expected to tolerate it.
There is a legal test to help determine whether an employee's misconduct justified their dismissal. Despite this, there is often some dispute about whether or not an employee's misconduct falls into the category of Just Cause. For example, the terms below have successfully been used to support an employer's claim for Just Cause:
- Poor performance;
- Progressive discipline;
- Dishonesty;
- Absenteeism
- theft;
- Lateness;
- Insubordination;
- Off-duty conduct
Since so much depends on a finding of cause for dismissal in an employment law matter, it is vital that you meet with an expert at Whitten & Lublin Employment & Labour Lawyers to determine whether or not your case meets the test. We will then develop and implement a strategy to support your case. Whitten & Lublin Employment & Labour Lawyers has defended and pursued hundreds of cases of Just Cause, taking on some of the most complex claims. We have earned our reputation for being one of "Canada's Top Employment Lawyers" due to our track record of success. If you have been dismissed for cause and/or have been dismissed without severance pay immediately contact an employment lawyer at Whitten & Lublin Employment & Labour Lawyers. We will assist you in enforcing your rights and preserving your reputation. Read our employment law articles about cause for dismissal for more information.

Lincoln showed its redesigned 2017 MKZ luxury sedan at the Los Angeles Auto Show that arrives with a sportier appearance, two engine options and a choice of all-wheel or front-wheel drive.
The MKZ is powered by a standard 2.0L four-cylinder that delivers 245-hp through a front-wheel drivetrain or available twin-turbocharged 3.0L V-6 that produces 400 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. The V-6 is paired with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that includes dynamic torque vectoring to enhance cornering.
Improved safety features such as adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality can slow the car automatically, resuming higher speeds when traffic clears. The system activates the brakes to bring the car to a complete stop if the driver fails to apply brakes in time. An auto hold feature keeps the car at a complete stop without the driver having to press and hold the brake pedal.
The vehicle also has an available park assist feature that uses ultrasonic sensors to help steer into a parallel or perpendicular parking spot. Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection is an available technology that can help avoid some frontal crashes.
The new model contains a push-button gear shift, as well as an Active Noise Control system. It also has increased storage space, a fully retractable panoramic glass roof, and a Revel audio system.

Topeka Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders are preparing to head off a cash crunch in Kansas government.
That crunch — and an impasse over the budget — was holding up income tax refunds and had threatened to delay state employees' next paychecks.
Sebelius has called a meeting of the State Finance Council for 2 p.m. She needs the council's approval for her plan to move $225 million into the state's main bank account from other accounts throughout state government.
The council consists of the Democratic governor and eight top legislative leaders, six of whom are Republicans.
GOP leaders had objected to Sebelius' request until she signed legislation to eliminate a deficit in the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30. She did that Tuesday.

Our youngest daughter couldn't find an activity that she really liked so we enrolled her in K2 for the recreational gymnastics. The coaches were very supportive and made it fun, so much so that she really took to gymnastics and was invited to join the competitive team. She was a bit apprehensive at first but it has been a tremendous experience and she now just LOVES it. Not only is it great exercise but it exposes her to competitive sports and she has shown a level of commitment that we never could have imagined (we have a house full of gymnastics equipment to prove it now). We have also seen her gain significant confidence in herself and even an elevated self-esteem, which is directly attributed to her and what K2 has done for her. We allow her to do as much as she wants and do not push her at all, so regardless of how long she sticks with gymnastics, which we are guessing this will be the rest of her childhood and teen years, we are confident that we will look back at K2 and this experience in her childhood and know that it contributed favorably to her future successes in life.
Courtney Nelson
My daughter began at K2 for basic gymnastics. The staff at K2 has helped her grow her love of gymnastics and is now on the team. She also is a part of the after school program. This program is great. I never worry about her after school and am so pleased that she usually has her homework done before I pick her up!
Lisa Prince
My daughter loves Mondays because they are gymnastics days! She started at 5 years old, never having been signed up for any activity. She has started to be a little more outgoing, and I see her light up when she overcomes something there. Thanks to all coaches for always being so cheerful and fun for the kids!
Michael Smith
My kids have been coming to K2 for over 5 years. They have been involved in classes, preschool, camp and afterschool care. They love the coaches and teachers and the fun arts & crafts projects. My son entered kindergarten prepared and I feel it has everything to do with his experience in preschool at K2.
Michele Cox
I thought this was a great place, my kids have been there for a couple years, UNTIL I happened to be late one day and witnessed a coach VIOLENTLY SLAM a little 2 year old into time out on the playground. She was alone with her class and didn t know she was being watched. I immediately went in and complained and K2 sided with the COACH saying the CHILD was a problem and was aggressive. You do NOT discipline aggression WITH aggression! K2 should have fired that coach on the spot but decided to keep her anyway. I pulled my 3 kids out of their program immediately and warned my friends via Facebook. Kay the owner caught wind of my post after friends of mine also pulled their kids from the program and then proceeded to CALL MY FRIENDS ON MY FACEBOOK FRIEND LIST to tell them I was a liar! Apparently policies have been changed there after this incident ( funny they changed anything since I supposedly lied ) but thats not enough! Unbelieveably unprofessional and willing to retain abusive coaches. Kay the owner clearly does not care about the safety of the children in her care, she cares about tuition $$! Parents Beware!

Wireworking, metalsmithing exhibit goes on display in Whitewater
Exhibit hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
An opening reception will be held from 5-8 p.m. Friday at the Cultural Arts Center.
Over the summer, members of the Whitewater Arts Alliance, the UW-Whitewater art department and Whitewater High School art teacher Debra Brigham-Schmuhl worked together to generate an outreach activity to introduce the community to the university-based Women of Metal Project, a two-part initiative comprising an exhibition of first- and second-generation women metalsmiths and an oral history project.
Guided by interests in mentorship, connection and education, they developed an intergenerational project that involves students, faculty and community members. The Cultural Arts Center exhibition �Generation Next: Wirework by Whitewater High School Art Students� is the result of those shared efforts.
To learn more about wireworking and metalsmithing, to attend related workshops or more information about the exhibit, call (262) 472-0204 or go to www.whitewaterarts.org or blogs.uww.edu/Crossman.

TORONTO -- Brett Gardner is proving he can be productive anywhere in the lineup.
The speedy outfielder went 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs and two stolen bases leading off Sunday against the Blue Jays. In the series, he was 10-for-16 with three doubles and five runs.
"It's all the same to me," said Gardner, who batted seventh Saturday. "My job's to get on base no matter where I hit in the lineup, and the last couple days, I've been able to do that and make a few things happen."
Gardner, who began the year 5-for-11 in stolen-base attempts, hasn't been caught in his past 12 tries.
"A little bit of it has to do with luck, probably," he said. "Worrying about getting caught makes you a little bit more passive and you don't go as often. So just be aggressive."
Separation anxiety
After bad outings by Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia, a four-game split with the Blue Jays was a relief. Now the Yankees have a chance to create some distance between themselves and Tampa Bay, starting Monday night at Tropicana Field.
"They're important games," manager Joe Girardi said of the four with the third-place Rays. "Because we know they're going to be there all year long and we're going to have to battle them.''
Extra bases
The Yankees recalled Chris Dickerson and sent down Greg Golson . . . With the Yankees in the midst of eight straight days on synthetic turf, Girardi gave Derek Jeter the day off. Eduardo Nuñez played shortstop and did not make an error for the first time all series . . . Mark Teixeira was the DH . . . Jorge Posada, who started at first base, played his 1,790th game, eighth on the franchise list . . . Alex Rodriguez (knee surgery) will remain in Miami for a few weeks while he rehabs.

Different Types of Mom Friends
Which Friend Is Most Important to You?
Every friend serves a different purpose. When a lady's got a secret that she doesn't ever want out, she'll find her most trusted confidant. If she's locked out of the house, she'll call her most responsible pal — the one she trusted with a key. The time arrives for a crazy night out on the town and she rings the rowdiest gal to rally the troops. But when pregnancy enters the picture, mama's got a whole new Rolodex. That's not to say she'll ditch her old buds, but chances are, she'll add to her flock of friends.
- Experienced Emma: When stretch marks start to appear, she can look to her "already been there and done that" chum.
- Sassy Susi: Curious about which stroller to buy, she can reach out to her knowledgeable and trendspotting comrade.
- Honest Abby: If she wants to know the good, the bad, and the ugly of labor and parenting, she can call her most honest ally.
- Calming Connie: When mommy is about to lose her cool, she can call this soothing voice to talk her down.
- Organized Olivia: Want to know what to buy for the nursery or which schools to apply to? Call this woman for an Excel spreadsheet that breaks down all the must-haves and maps to find them.
- Funny Frieda: Every mum needs a good chuckle from time to time. Whether it's discussing poop or dishing on celebrity gossip, mommy needs a lighthearted friend that can share a laugh.
There are all sorts of friends to be had out there, and in the best case scenario, every mother has one of each to help her wade through the waters of motherhood. While they are all important, which one do you rely on most?

Stim Soup Series: What's in the Soup? Part Eight Final
I apologize for the long delay, I have been busy getting the website together. That's in another post!
This is the final post on the Stim Soup Series, "What's In the Soup?" Part Eight. After pawing through notes and deciding on what would be relevant, I felt these last terms would be the most helpful.
For the sake of those reading this series for the first time, my explanations on the terms are to the point. Nothing intense about it. I figured there is no sense in writing long-winded definitions. As a new parent to the Autism community that is not what you are searching for. You are seeking answers and would rather forgo the stuff in between.
Sensory Integration Therapy
Speech Language Pathology
Sensory integration therapy – The therapy improves daily function in children with autism. Symptoms often include a difficult time processing sensory information such as textures, sounds, smells, tastes, and light. Referred to as Sensory Processing Disorder. These difficulties can make ordinary situations feel overwhelming. They can interfere with daily function. Largely used by occupational therapists, uses play activities to change how the brain reacts to touch, sound, sight and movement.
Speech Language Pathology – Autism can affect speech, language development, and social communication in many ways. Speech Therapy can benefit persons with Autism. Kids may babble, be non-verbal, have various communication challenges and can help with any issues in Speech and Language.
TEACCH– Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped Children. Founded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The primary aim of TEACCH is to help to prepare people with autism to live or work more effectively at home, at school and in the community.
I truly hope you as a Parent/Guardian have found this eight-part series to be informative. It is meant as a starting point of a long journey in Autism. As a mother of a 12-year-old with Autism, I have been on this road for quite a while now. The road has been bumpy, long, and quite the learning adventure. But the road will always go on and some day you might see the end. But for the time being I can at least help smooth out the bumps in the road and guide in you your search for spoonful's of information. A little bit at a time.
If you have not read my other parts of this series, please take the time to do so. I am hoping the series will answer some of the most common questions regarding Autism.
As throughout the series, all topics are to the point and just to get your feet wet. It is not meant to overwhelm you. My purpose is to take the confusion out of an already vast expansion of the disorder we know as Autism.
Keep in mind these terms are only the tip of the iceberg. There are many, many more and I will be expanding on many of the terms and including several other ones as well. Autism Spectrum Disorder is very broad and includes many aspects so stay tuned!
One final note: I will be making this Series into a PDF document for you to download on the new Stim Soup website. Free for to you to print out on to use at your first IEP meeting and impress the heck out of them with your knowledge. Or print it out just for reference.

Recipe for the modern bachelor:
quick food for quick people
who feel sorry for poor old Coles
by PHILIP WHITE
Spare a thought for poor old Coles. Having to cough up a $10 million fine and everything. Just for burning suppliers. Embarrassing.
I suspect this is a race thing: the Barossadeutschers are much more adept at supermarketing than the English who settled McLaren Vale. These Vales frails'll lay on their backs for Coles and dream of selling wine to Tesco. On the other hand, the Barossa co-op drove Woolworths out of their Valley in the supermarket races, while they seem to love that same huge brute buying their vineyards, their grapes and their brands for Woolworths' own Hungry Dan's discount bins.

Legendary Doors guitarist and singer-songwriter Robby Krieger has performed with students from Neighborhood Rock School in Burbank and School of Rock West LA in two sold-out benefit concerts for the Rock School Scholarship Fund (RSSF). Krieger was first introduced to RSSF co-founders Wendy Winks and Carl Restivo when they ran the School of Rock Hollywood, and he was a surprise guest performer at a Tribute to The Doors show that the school hosted at The Mint in Los Angeles.
Krieger's longtime collaborator Arthur Barrow, also formerly bassist and rehearsal director for Frank Zappa, made the fortuitous introduction. Winks had read an article about Barrow in the alumni magazine for the University of North Texas, and she reached out to him when School of Rock Hollywood students were starting rehearsals for a Zappa tribute show. To the pure joy of the school's staff and students, Barrow ended up personally leading many of the rehearsals, culminating with a performance at the School of Rock Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June 2008.
Several months later, Arthur heard that some of those same students would be doing a tribute to The Doors, and he thought Krieger might enjoy seeing the show. It was a magical evening at the Mint for everyone when Krieger brought his guitar along and accompanied the kids onstage for three songs, including The Doors' classic #1 hit "Light My Fire," from the group's 1967 debut album. Following the performance, Krieger led a Q&A during which he answered questions from students and parents about The Doors and their music.
Krieger continued his support, performing as a special guest at the School of Rock West LA's May 2012 Doors tribute and RSSF fundraiser at Rusty's Sea Ranch in Santa Monica. Most recently, in March 2013, the Neighborhood Rock School in Burbank hosted a fundraiser at the world-famous Whisky A Go-Go in West Hollywood, California, featuring both Krieger and Barrow performing onstage with students to a Sunday afternoon capacity crowd.
In addition to playing lead guitar, Robby Krieger wrote many of The Doors best-known songs, among them "Light My Fire," "Love Me Two Times," "Touch Me," and "Love Her Madly." He is included on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
Krieger and Barrow first met in 1976, when Barrow recorded synthesizer with The Doors on the group's album American Prayer. Barrow subsequently joined Frank Zappa's band in 1978—he went on to tour five times with Zappa, and can be heard playing bass, guitar, and keyboards on more than ten albums. In the 1980s, Krieger and Barrow co-wrote music, recorded and toured the U.S. together, and they continue to collaborate, most recently on Krieger's GRAMMY-nominated 2010 album Singularity.

It's Pretty Good

Comments about Mijello Fredi Weber Peel-off Palette:
The paint does peel off, but not as cleanly as advertised. It is pretty easy to wash though.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The left over paint peels off as advertised. The thinner the paint is the more work to peel. I use it with acrylic paint.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I may even buy another one.
By Annie

I really like how you can peel huge layers of dried paint off at a time. It works better if the layers are a bit thicker on the palette. Thinner applications of dried paint still peel off just fine, but it comes off in smaller parts rather than all at once. I have painted one piece so far using this palette which took me about 26 hours - and haven't experienced any of the previous layers picking up onto my brush which is good. It comes with four small rubber (I believe that is what it is) stubs which makes the palette more resistant to moving around if you like setting it on a table rather than holding it. I think the design is better for setting it on a table rather than holding it but that's just my opinion. Note: I used acrylics and synthetic brushes. I don't know if Bristol brushes would pick up any of the previous layers or not.

Best Palette for Acrylics Yet!
By Mama Hydock
from Bethlehem, PA
I teach HS art and I have tried MANY different options for palettes in my classroom. I love this one! With the paint still wet, it washes off with just a little effort and soap. If it has dried a little, you can either scrub it off with a dish washing brush, or just wait for it to dry completely and peel it off. Some little bits of paint remain after many uses, but that's just acrylic paint for you.
wonderful innovation
By Juli paints.
from Tacoma, Wa
I was going to go with a traditional wooden pallet and pallet paper. Then I saw this palette on line.I have used it 3 times now. It is very easy to clean. I don't have to replenish palette paper. it has two large deep wells for easily mixing colors. A third lengthwise well I like to use for collecting brushes in a bit of water so I don't bend bristles while they're soaking. Really happy with this purchase. Thanks Blick.

Good basic palette
By Jody
from Phoenix, AZ
I teach painting to high school students. These palettes are nice because students can just peel off dried acrylic paint and throw it away. Less paint goes down the drain! If students want to keep paint on the palette for the next day, they simply lay a sheet of plastic wrap over it.

Awaiting clarification of entry requirements
There is not a great deal to say about this so-called "product" because it is an almost identical copy of the Automated Tipster product which we reviewed in February last year. You can see that review by clicking here.
Check out the two websites and you will never quite be sure which one you are looking at.
What is staggering is that no attempt has been made to hide the source so luckily members should be able to avoid the trouble of finding out what it is all about. All the points raised in the original review seem valid here, although we have been unable at this stage to acquire the actual software.
The only difference seems to be that this time you have to provide proof that you have opened an account with Winner and deposited £20 with them before you can get access to the software download link.
This is presumably because last time everybody was able to avoid doing that so not only would they have been stung with refund requests but they would not have made any affiliate commission from Winner who, despite their poor reputation, probably know nothing about this scam at all.
The original product turned out to be the first in a series of scam products offering access to tips that are already freely available at gg.com. Let's hope this will be the last.
We have asked the support desk what is the situation if we already have a Winner account but to date have not received a reply.
Needless to say we recommend you steer well clear of this new attempt to pull the wool over your eyes.
Update 2/12/2015: After 3 emails I was given access to the "software" but as anticipated it is nothing more than a reproduction of the gg.co.uk daily free tips with no advice on how they should be used. And at 1.30pm today the tips for yesterday were still showing. The only redeeming feature is you have not paid them anything but await the inevitable spam torrent that will be coming to your inbox.
P.S I recently read an article about the likely inability to be able to take advantage of the Winner account opening offer because the T&C's make it highly difficult.
This is the text :
You may have heard of a company called Winner Bet, they trade out of www.winner.co.uk . Their advertisements will lead you into thinking that when you open an account with them they will give you an attractive free bet. Matching anything from a £30 deposit to a £200 deposit 100%.
However do not be fooled. This offer simply means you WILL NEVER be able to win with them and any winnings you make will never be allowed to enter your mitts.
Welcome to the Winner Scam !
First of all to be able to withdraw from your bonus or stake, you need to have completed the agreed staking , which is 8 x the deposit and the bonus, so should you chose to deposit £200 and get £200 free, you will need to stake 8 x £400, so £3200, now to some big punters knowing you need to do this in 7 days may not seem difficult, however Winner Bet leave no stone unturned in their quest to rob you of any winnings.
Any profits made in the first 7 days, will count as bonus winnings unless staking requirement is fulfilled and these profits will be removed with the bonus after 7 days.
Yes that's true, so if I fancied a horse at 5/4 and I put £200 on said horse and it won, my balance is £650, BUT I can only withdraw this money once I have staked £3200 and within 7 days, but the catch my friends is yet to come.
The maximum bet to count towards a bonus is £10 !!!! So if I stake my £200, only £10 will count towards the £3200, so for a £650 bank, I now have a requirement of £3190, and I only have 7 days to do it. In fact I have to place 320 bets of £10 in 7 days in order for my bonus to be released. This is a out right scam, as even the money serious of punter will struggle to place 320 bets in 7 days, and the fact a maximum of £10 counts towards your bonus is a scam alone. But don't worry Winner Bet have even a challenge for any punter who somehow manages that task, yes all your bets have to be at odds of Even money to a maximum of 10/1, this includes multiple bets as a max payout of 10/1, but any multiple bet must have a selection at odds of even money in.
Wow, talk about making it even harder ! So now I must place 320 bets of £10 at evens to 10/1 to release my £200 bonus and any winnings I make.
Now even if by some miracle you manage to achieve the above, Winner Bet have things covered, the maximum bonus win is £1000.00 so if placing your 320 £10 bets @ 10/1 – Evens your balance is more than £1200 at the end of the 7 days, you will not keep anything above the £1200, so if by some miracle you placed all the bets and your balance was £3500, they would remove £2300 of your winnings.
As you can see from the above, there really is only one Winner with Winner Bet and it's not the punter ! Oh and another thing, should you try to withdraw within the first 7 days, you can't even withdraw your £200 stake.
Plus the other small part is 50% of your bonus must be placed on multiples !
I think it's fair to say that I give Winner Bet's free bet offer a massive thumbs down and advise you not to be lured in by them , as your chances of winning anything, are extremely slim !
As you can see, this is yet another reason to completely avoid Pro Bet App Software.

Thanks for this review – very helpful. I figured that Pro Bet App must be a scam/con, and didn't enter my email address, but was intrigued to find out what their angle was. Cheers.

Striking balance benefits Lennon
Celtic 2 Hibernian 1
WITH a month remaining before they collide at Parkhead, the outlines of the first testing phase of the Scottish title race are taking shape for the two contenders.
Yesterday Rangers recorded their first win at Aberdeen since Walter Smith returned to Ibrox as manager in January 2007, but they face another hazardous trip to Tynecastle to meet Hearts in Saturday's televised lunchtime fixture and then are at home to Motherwell -- currently third in the table -- before they travel across Glasgow for the first Old Firm derby of the season.
They must also deal with the demands of Champions League visits by Bursaspor and Valencia and, on the evidence of Scotland's outings this season, are likely to be asked to provide half of Craig Levein's outfield selections for the Euro 2012 double header against the Czech Republic in Prague and Spain at Hampden Park.
Celtic, of course, will also have to yield players to international duties, but Neil Lennon has a more ample squad at his disposal than Smith and the important benefit of added recovery time between fixtures. However, the Northern Irishman is still establishing what his players can and will do when the going gets tough.
He is as much engaged in self-discovery as a manager, although a cursory glance at his league record could suggest that he has little to worry about on that front. Since he succeeded Tony Mowbray in March, Lennon has supervised 14 consecutive league victories and -- as he demonstrated in Celtic's 2-1 win over Hibernian on Saturday -- he has acquired the confidence to omit a forward who scored three goals and was named man of the match in the previous game, the 6-0 destruction of Inverness Caley Thistle in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
Georgios Samaras got a 20-minute run out when he replaced Gary Hooper but did not make a difference to the scoreline, which, on the one hand, might be read as vindication of Lennon's team selection. Then again, Celtic's goals came from a midfield player and a defender -- Scott Brown, who turned in a notable performance, and Glenn Loovens, respectively.
Some Hoops fans were vocal in their belief that Lennon should have changed his attacking options more quickly, but most seemed relatively content that the team won in the sort of circumstances that frequently saw them stumble under Mowbray, especially since one can scarcely legislate for the sort of goal scored by Derek Riordan, a perfectly placed angled lob that took everyone in the ground by surprise except, probably, himself.
"We can't play brilliantly every week. It is not going to be 6-0 here every game," said Hooper. "We won and that was good enough on the day to keep us at the top with Rangers.
"It was a wee bit edgy at 2-1. They got back into the game with a great finish from Riordan but thankfully we saw it through. We defended well and cleared our lines.
"We scored that early goal and then sat back a wee bit too much. At 2-0 we should have put the game to bed. Later we were kind of stuck between being careful or going and finishing it off.
"I don't think we have really clicked yet as a team. I really don't think we have shown yet what we are capable of. We won 6-0 last week but I believe there's much more to come."
Lennon has a healthy selection of attacking options at his disposal in Hooper, Samaras, Anthony Stokes, Daryl Murphy and Shaun Maloney and he knows he can gain benefit from allowing his front-line candidates to jostle each other for places.
"We've guys in form so the manager has a good choice but a hard choice as well. He's told us every striker will play his part over the course of the campaign," Hooper revealed. "We will stick together. I don't know if he actually means a rotation policy. It might come down to fitness and sharpness."
In contrast to Celtic's unbroken procession of league victories since last spring, Hibs' difficulty in securing a win would make them dubious bets against their own reserve team and visits to the east end of Glasgow would be a good deal more productive if they stopped leaking early goals.
They were visibly uncertain even before Brown netted in the fifth minute after a splendid surge through midfield, although their most productive midfielder, John Rankin, did not believe that nerves affected them unduly.
"That's the third time we've come here in recent times and conceded in the first five minutes," said Rankin. "We found ourselves a goal down very early on and I don't think we had a chance in the first half. We gave ourselves an uphill task and couldn't overcome it.
"But I don't think we were nervous. They were on a high after their 6-0 victory the other night and it was obviously going to be difficult for us."
Rankin dismissed speculation about irreconcilable differences within the squad. "When you lose there are always raised voices. There are always going to be arguments," he said. "It shows that we care. I think we need to show that spirit on the pitch now." (© Daily Telegraph, London)

Lad goes berserk after cheating test on girlfriend goes HORRIBLY wrong
A GUY who decided to test if his girlfriend would be faithful got more than he bargained for when she ended up face to face with her ex.
The clip – uploaded to YouTube on Monday (November 14) – begins with suspicious boyfriend Andrew explaining he wants to test his girlfriend's loyalty six months into the relationship.
In the video description he says he is worried his girlfriend is not over her ex because she can't stop talking about him.
So the doubting boyfriend met up with YouTube channel To Catch a Cheater and together they convinced his girlfriend's ex to test her loyalty.
The encounter begins with the ex "bumping into" the girlfriend in a busy coffee shop in the US.
After some awkward banter the guy eventually says: "You look really good."
The girlfriend thanks him before saying: "Kind of changed my style up a little bit. We're wearing the same kind of clothes now."
Moments later the guy then says "it's good to see you" before going in for a kiss – and shockingly – just seconds into the encounter the girlfriend makes out with her ex, completely failing to mention her new boyfriend.
As the girl tells her ex that she's missed him, she agrees to come over to his place to "hang out".
At this point Andrew goes off the rails, shouting: "Goddamn it f****** whore!"
"I just f****** knew she was a goddamn f****** whore."
After getting the upset boyfriend to calm down, the presenter explains the ex claimed: "It was like stealing candy from a baby."
The presenter awkwardly then tries to cheer the jilted boyfriend up by saying: "Well it's not like they used tongue or anything."
But when Andrew asks him how he can tell – the cameraman quickly chimes in saying: "I thought they did use tongue" – devastating him that little bit more.
The video ends with the gutted lad saying he's definitely going to end it with his promiscuous girlfriend, adding how shocked he was that she actually made out with her ex within seconds of seeing him.
The footage has already been viewed over 70,000 times since being uploaded to YouTube.
One viewer commented: "I love watching these man. The cameraman never gives any fucks. The host trolls with the stupid ass questions. I'm actually a big fan now."
Another added: "F****** hell, this channel has broken a lot of relationships."
Do you think what Andrew's girlfriend did counts as cheating? Let us know in our online poll.
A recent episode from the same YouTube channel recently saw a more bizarre test when a lesbian decided to test her girlfriend's loyalty by baiting her with a guy.
There are other ways to catch out an unfaithful partner – one tech-savvy husband recently used a drone to get footage of his wife cheating on him with another man.

Launch Aborted by Yes-I-DiDWatch
©2013-2017 Yes-I-DiD
I've always loved the thought and sight of Harley kicking and flailing her legs: something about her one red and one black spandex covered legs, and the differing shoe colors, frantically kicking in the air just looks so sexy and exciting! Great picture!
Harley will be killed by her hostage sometime...
Surely not! You know those bat-people don't much like killing.
Quick! Someone rescue Harley before her hostage kills her!
is there a page where is shows Harley capture her?
Loooooove it !!
And this is why you don't mess with the bats.
Untill Stephanie lets go and Harley binds her legs. XD
Harley would have to be pretty quick to manage that now that Supergirl and Black Bat are on the scene!
Cass next!Cass next!Cass next!Cass next!
Wow batgirl has legpower like Chun Li
That is why Harley needs to be sure to tie them a bit tighter. ^_^

There's something real sexy about a ballgagged girl who is still able to fight -- and win.
They're such a rare breed!
I meant to say "ballgagged and bound", but even a ball gag alone increases the sexiness factor.

Bahaha, about time someone put her in a headlock.

Niall, my brother, just told me that he's having a party at our house tonight. Mom and Dad are out of town, so of course Niall thinks it is okay.
"Can you drive to the store for some balloons please? And you can also get some pop if you want." Oh, as if.
Niall treats me like I'm nothing. I'm only two years younger than him. He can't tell me what to do all the time. Are all brothers like this?
"Um, no." I scream at him.
"How about yes or I'm not letting you come."
I stomp to my room. Niall isn't the smartest of his friends. Duh, the party is at MY house so I AM coming to it. Obviously.
Slamming the door behind me, I jump onto my bed. I call Harry, Niall's friend. The only reason I have his number is because he gave it to me this one time when he was flirting with me. I never told Niall about it, because I know he'd freak out.
"Hi." I say blankly.
"You finally called." Harry laughs. "I knew you felt something towards me."
"Yeah, I feel disgust toward you. You're my brother's best friend."
I tell him about the party Niall is having tonight, but of course he already knows. Niall has known Harry since elementary school.
"Well, I gotta go, Niall's sister. See you at the party." And then we hang up. I hear Niall out in the kitchen and living room setting up things. He locks a door before leaving to go to the store I'm guessing.
I hang out in my room for the next hour deciding what to wear. I invited my friends, even though Niall doesn't know that either. I know that we will still be outnumbered by seniors for sure, since he is inviting everyone he knows.
I text Callie to come over ASAP to help me pick out the outfit, since I am clearly having trouble.
I go to open my door to go out to the living room, but the door won't open. What?
I twist the handle like crazy. I even kick the door because it could have been jammed, but nooo. Not that either.
Niall locked it!

After a magical day filled with family, friends, food, and dancing, it's perfectly acceptable to be completely exhausted the day after your wedding. You've endured hundreds of hours planning, multiple phone calls crying to your mom, sleepless nights, bridal shower after bridal shower after bridal shower, and just a whole mess of emotions in general — you and your fiancé deserve some serious rest and relaxation after the big day! So if you aren't planning to hop on a flight immediately after the wedding and have a day of two off to just unwind from the last 9 months of planning, here are some of our favorite suggestions for you and your now husband or wife to do the day after!
1. Relax! This is definitely the most obvious, but I think since a lot of bride and grooms have spent the last week or so in a constant "go go go!" mode, they sometimes forget to just relax, unwind, and enjoy their first day as husband and wife! Sleep in, eat breakfast in bed, wear your pajamas all day, and just take that time to reflect on how amazing your wedding night was!
2. Make it Facebook official. Because nothing is official until it's Facebook official! Am I right!? Well, no, I'm obviously joking, but, if you and your hubby are already marked as "in a relationship" on Facebook, make sure to switch it over to "Married" and let the whole (Facebook) world know that you just tied the knot!
3. Eat leftover cake. Can you say, yum? Many couples don't get a chance to eat the cake on their wedding night (besides that adorable wedding photo of you guys feeding each other cake) so why not indulge in some sweets for breakfast!?
4. Open presents. Probably one of the most fun parts about after the wedding - opening all of your cards and presents! Spend the afternoon in bed opening present after present, but don't forget to take note of who got you what so you can send out your thank-you's!
5. Pack for your honeymoon. This definitely is not necessary if your honeymoon is a few weeks out, but if your big trip is only a couple days away, it's definitely worth spending an hour or two packing up everything!
6. Clean up the reception venue. This is probably the least relaxing way to spend the day after your wedding, but depending on your venue's policies, you or a clean-up crew may need to spend some time putting away chairs and tables the following morning. My suggestion? Ask some cousins, aunts, uncles, or friends, and denote a clean-up crew to do it for you.
7. Host an informal brunch. This is becoming a huge tradition for a lot of couples and besides, who doesn't love brunch? It doesn't have to be some grand event, but invite your closest family, friends, and whoever else you weren't able to mingle with much at the reception.
8. Spend time with out-of-town family and friends. Whether you invite everyone over for coffee or just go out for a light lunch, consider spending time with your out-of-town guests who traveled from who-knows-where to see you so make sure you actually make time for them. You could also even consider a fun day outing that won't take up a lot of your energy such as a boat ride, day at the beach, picnic, or whatever hobbies you and your fiance are into.
9. Treat yourself to a spa day. I personally could go for a massage any day of the week so I can only imagine how lovely it would be to have one planned for the day after the wedding. Schedule a spa day with your significant other - massages, facials, mud baths and all! Who knows, the spa might even treat you to some delicious champagne and chocolates!
After planning such a big event, you deserve to take the following day (or more!) to just relax and enjoy the married life! Whether you spend the day with family and friends or relax in bed while stuffing your face with leftover cake, every couple will have their own version of what relaxation means to them.
Let's Chat! What do you and your fiancé plan to do the day after the wedding? Or if you're already married, how did the day after play out for you?

Taking Your Measurements
For the most accurate measurements, do not measure over your clothing. Your measurements should be taken while wearing undergarments similar to the ones you will wear with your dress. The measuring tape shouldn't be pulled too tight or have too much slack, and should always be parallel with the floor.
**Wedding apparel is typically sized differently than retail clothing, so keep in mind that it's not uncommon to find yourself requiring alterations.
Bust size: Wrap the tape around your back and under your arms at the fullest part of your bust (not underneath the bust).
Waist size: While standing up straight, bend at the waist to one side. Take the measurement where the natural crease happens in your side. This should be a few inches above your belly button.
Hip size: Standing with your feet together, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt to get this measurement.
Choosing your correct size
Compare these three measurements to the Kennedy Blue size chart above. It is very important that you order the largest size that corresponds to your measurements. For example, if your bust measures 40.5" (size 12), your waist measures 31" (size 10) and your hips measure 41.5" (size 8), we advise that you order a size 12, and get your dress altered down to custom fit your body. Ordering anything smaller than a size 12 would not fit in the bust area. Please note: Our bridal gown size chart is different than the bridesmaids sizing and is listed below.

The housing market this summer is one of the bright spots in the U.S. economy. The latest data shows that prices nationally are up more than 10 percent from a year ago. In some markets, it's a lot more than that. The pace of sales is rising, too, so Americans are out there bidding on houses again. But is there enough demand to keep the recovery going? That's the question NPR's Chris Arnold tackles.
CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: Christine Carlson is showing me around the condo that she lives in with her boyfriend in Chelsea, across the Mystic River from Boston.
CHRISTINE CARLSON: Chelsea's a cool little town. They're doing a lot of movies here. Denzel Washington just filmed here for his next movie.
ARNOLD: But there's nothing very Hollywood or glamorous about Carlson's condo. For her, it was kind of a barebones, starter place. It's in a small building with old aluminum siding. So last year, she tried to sell it and buy a nicer condo. But her realtor Anita Shishmanian says that that didn't go very well.
ANITA SHISHMANIAN: So we put it on the market, and then it just languished on the market.
ARNOLD: So there's been pressure building up in the housing market. Christine Carlson wanted to sell her condo and buy something better, but a year ago, she couldn't get what she paid for it. So she couldn't sell, and she was stuck.
SHISHMANIAN: Right. She was stuck.
ARNOLD: So imagine now, across the country, there are millions of people like Carlson who want to buy or want to sell and who can't, and so there's been this pent-up frustration or pent-up energy in the economy waiting to get released. And now, that is finally starting to happen. This summer, Carlson and her realtor decided to try to put her house back on the market.
SHISHMANIAN: We did one open house, and had multiple offers right off the bat. People seemed to really like it, and it was priced right. Actually, we probably could've priced it higher.
CARLSON: Yeah.
ARNOLD: But with the stronger housing market, somebody bought Carlson's condo. And since then, she's gone out and bought a nicer place herself. So there's kind of a chain reaction there. As more people buy homes, that pushes prices up. And as prices go up, that allows more people to sell who used to be stuck, and then they can go buy homes.
But, OK, just how much of this pent-up demand is there?
ANDREW PACIOREK: There's pretty clearly a lot of pent-up demand.
ARNOLD: Andrew Paciorek is an economist with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. He recently finished a research paper looking at the number of young people moving out of their parents' houses or newlyweds living with relatives who were going out and buying or renting their own places to live. That's called household formation, and it dropped very sharply after the recession hit.
PACIOREK: It's quite unusual. So, you know, the long run trend is probably about one-and-a-quarter million households forming per year, on net.
ARNOLD: But from 2006 through 2011, there were less than half that normal number of new households forming.
PACIOREK: If you go back over history, that's pretty clearly the lowest five-year period on record, at least back to the 1950s or so.
ARNOLD: Really? So, I mean, we're talking about 60-plus years we've never seen so few households forming in America.
PACIOREK: Yeah. That's exactly right.
ARNOLD: So now, those people living in their parents' basements, more of them are starting to move out, and household formation is on the rise again. Paciorek stresses that predicting the future is tricky, but his economic model predicts that the housing market will continue to see a steady boost as people form new households. That would likely mean more homebuilding jobs and all kinds of other jobs.
And all that would be good, but...
JOHN MAKIN: There's pent-up demand, but the question is: Is there pent-up effective demand?
ARNOLD: That's John Makin, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute. He says the bottom line is that people just don't have that much money to spend. Wage growth is weak. If you don't have a great credit score, it's hard to get a home loan. The unemployment rate is still falling very slowly.
MAKIN: I mean, look, everybody wants to get back to normal, and everybody would like to go out to dinner as much as they used to. And they'd like to, you know, be buying a bigger and better house, and all that stuff. And so there's certainly plenty of frustration. But the effective demand is that the income isn't there.
ARNOLD: In fact, when it comes to the overall economy, Makin is getting worried that the weak economic recovery could lose momentum. He thinks that unless Congress takes more action - say, through tax cuts and stimulus spending - the economy, he thinks, could slide back into real trouble. That's more pessimistic than most economists who think the economy is going to keep moving forward, even if slowly. But at least when it comes to housing, everybody agrees that it's nice to finally be getting a boost. Chris Arnold, NPR News, Boston.
