Straying away from traditional funeral arrangements one can go for a much more meaningful arrangement by having something specially designed for the recently departed. For instance your loved one passes away and was an avid bowler you can have a bowling pin and bowling bowl display made of flowers and displayed on an easel. Or maybe your loved one was very found of baseball your floral arrangement can be made in the shape of a baseball bat and baseball. These would be designed to look much like the ways the cross looks that are designed of flowers and displayed on an easel. There are many ways to put your personal touch into the arrangement and to have a funeral arrangement stand out and show how well you know someone and how much you loved them. You can show respect to the deceased by taking a very important part of there lives and turning it into a floral arrangement tribute to them. If your loved one was an avid outdoorsman you can have tree branch, sprigs or some type of greenery added to the display to commemorate their love of the outdoors. The possibilities are limitless and your florist will be able to guide you into designing a custom floral arrangement for your loved one. Growing more popular are the "initial" displays where one will take the first letter of ones first or last name and have it made into a floral arrangement and displayed on an easel next to the casket. These "initial" displays cost roughly between $50. 00 and $75. 00 dollars. More and more custom designed floral arrangements are being more popular. As florist can design just about anything including doves, Celtic crosses, sports logos, displays for hobbies, and musical instruments to name a few. A florist can even make a banner with a name on it in flowers and display it on an easel too. This name can be anything from their first name, a nick name, or even to simply say, brother, sister, father, mother or grandmother. If you would rather not go with something like the above described arrangement but still want to have something custom made. Discuss with your florist the types of flowers you want in your arrangements ask your florist also about the meanings to certain flowers as you may want to make a selection for your custom design based on the meanings of the flowers.

It could be that you want a special color to make up your arrangement maybe the favorite color of your loved one. Or you would like certain flowers in a combination of colors. Your florist is the best to assist you in building the perfect arrangement with all the special meaning you wish to carry off in your arrangement. Choosing exactly what you want for your funeral arrangement can be a difficult task and your florist is there to help you make these choices and find you the perfect arrangement that fits your budget. Custom and Personalized arrangements can tend to be slightly more costly.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 132,960, filed on 12-15-87, now abandoned
The present invention relates to digital computer-based systems and more particularly to data base systems which account for a physical inventory.
At the present time it is known to account for a physical inventory of goods using hand entry into paper records. It is also presently known that a digital computer data system may be used to account for a physical inventory and that part of the information related to each piece of physical inventory may be at the location of each item. For example, a typical inventory system would record that a certain type of tool having an assigned number is located in a specified building. It is also known that each individual item may be named and designated by a label affixed to the item. One type of label which may be used in connection with a digital computer-based inventory system is a bar code label, which label is affixed to the item and having a bar code of black and white parallel stripes readable by a hand-held bar code reader. A person taking an inventory would move from place to place and direct the reading head of the bar code reader at the various bar code labels. A list is automatically prepared by accumulating the information from each bar code label on a portable recording device which is connected to the bar code reader. At a convenient time the recording device will unload the list, which may be compared against the master list or otherwise used as part of the physical inventory system.
A problem is presented when the inventory consists of land and fixtures, and items in or on the land, such as buildings, oil wells, pumps, and items within the building. There is a problem in relating the physical position of the land or the item to a known location. For example, certain tax authorities, such as state or local governments, may wish to levy a tax based on all the personal property owned by the taxpayer on a certain date. The inventory of a large corporation would include items that are within the taxing authority, subject to the personal property tax, and other items which may be outside the geographic area of the taxing authority, although still owned by the corporation. In that example, it is important to know not only the inventory of each item but also its physical location in respect to the geographic scope of the taxing authority.
It is an objective of the present invention, called "The Benchmarc", to provide a digital computer data base system and method which will accurately store information regarding physical inventory, including information as to the location of each item in the inventory. related to its position in geographic space.
It is a further objective of the present invention that the information may be readily retrieved and may be readily changed as the items move from one location to another or as items are added or subtracted.
It is still a further objective of the present invention that the information may be available to the user at his premises in a simple, readily comprehended graphics format and further that a back-up copy of the information is held in security at a remote location, for example, in a different part of the country.
It is still a further objective of the present invention that the inventory information is displayed on computer work station terminals having interactive graphic screens, the terminals having interactive means by which the data may be altered by the operator directly on the screen and the changes on the screen will be immediately communicated to other work station terminal screens in the networks.
It is still a further objective of the present invention that the inventory system may be operated at relatively low cost so that the cost of maintaining each item currently in the inventory within the data base system may be only pennies per year.
It is a feature of the present invention to provide a system and method for the inventory of a large number of physical items, such as land, buildings, equipment, etc.
A label may be affixed to each item to uniquely identify that item by a bar code designation. A bar code reader, such as a hand-held bar code laser reader, is used to read the labels. The system further includes bar code data initial storage, for example, a portable teletransactional computer instrument, to store a collection of the bar code designation data.
Geographic locator means is used to associate data providing the absolute geographic location of each item in terms of latitude and longitude and elevation with the item designation data. Preferably the locator means utilizes a digitalized aerial photograph showing the location being located and a marker identified in a geographic map which is accurate to within one foot.
The system further includes a work station terminal used to display inventory data under user control. Each work station terminal includes an interactive graphics display screen and a stylus to alter or overlay the graphics displayed on the screen.
The work station terminals, at least one bar code initial storage means and a central digital computer unit form a local area network. A back-up storage means at a remote location, relative to the local area networks, is used to store duplicate inventory data as a back-up in case of loss or damage of the data held in the respective central digital computer units.
Other objectives and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description setting forth the inventor's presently known best mode of practicing the invention. The detailed description should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of the system of the present invention;
FIGS. 2 A & B are drawing in perspective of a computer terminal used as the input and output means of the system of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 illustrates the method and system of obtaining exact geographic information about an item of the physical inventory.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system of the present invention comprises a number of groups of local area networks. This assumes that the user has a number of work station terminals. However, in the event the user has only one work station terminal, for example, if the user is a small business, the local area network would be replaced by a single terminal. The work station terminals are computer terminals 10, each of which has an interactive graphics display 11, the display being the screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT). Each of the terminals also has a means by which the user may alter the graphics directly on the display and simultaneously enter the information into the system, or alter such information, that means being preferably a stylus 12 or alternatively a "mouse", keyboard or scanner with vector capacity. A user may touch a stylus 12 to the interactive graphics display 11 to annotate an image. That annotation will be simultaneously displayed on the other work station terminals of the local area network. In addition, each of the terminals has a keyboard 13. Each terminal is connected by a communication line 14 to a bus 15. The bus, in turn, is connected to the central processing computer unit 16, which is a digital computer within the local area network.
Preferably, the system uses "split screen technology", which is explained below. There are two means of identifying an inventory item in the system. The first method is the "scientific locator" in which items are stored scientifically according to their physical location using latitude, longitude and elevation. The second identifying means is for the user to provide the inventory item with a generic or colloquial or familiar grid location name. This generic, colloquial or familiar grid location may be changed from time to time even though the item stays put. However, if the item is physically moved, the scientific locator must be changed to the address of the new position of the item. The work station screen preferably is a split screen which displays the scientific locator on one side and the generic, colloquial or familiar grid location simultaneously on the other side of the screen (graphics display 11).
Suitable work station terminals are manufactured by interand Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, whose DISCON 1000 is an integrated videographic teleconferencing system which may communicate over telephone lines. The DISCON 1000 uses a 19-inch display face having full color and seven color graphic annotations. It has a 19-inch RGB high resolution shadow mask CRT with a resolution of 1024 pixels horizontal, 480 vertical. An alternative is DISCON 725, which is a compact integrated teleconferencing system having a stylus so that the user may draw directly onto the videoe image and instantly transmit graphics over ordinary telephone lines.
In FIG. 1, within the local area network 1 there is shown, for purposes of clarity of illustration, only the first terminal, labeled 10-A, and the last terminal, labeled 10-1N. It will be understood, however, that there are a plurality of terminals indicated by the dash lines between them which constitute the local area network.
The computer unit is connected to the remote storage location 21 by means of communication line 20-1, which, for example, may be a telephone line or a satellite communication line. The function of the remote storage location 21 is a back-up system in case the information held within the local central computer 16-1 is destroyed or damaged.
As shown in FIG. 1, the remote storage location 21 has a security provision 22 and a data base storage 23, which is the back-up storage. The security is preferably a code word which is known only to the authorized person at the individual location. The code word must be keyed into the system before the back-up data base storage 23 may be accessed.
For simplicity of illustration, there is shown in FIG. 1 only two local area networks, labeled LAN-1 and LAN-N. It will be understood, however, that a large number of local area networks may have access to the remote storage location 21.
One method of labeling the individual items of an inventory is shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. As shown in FIG. 2A, a disk 30 having a drawer 31 is labeled inconspicuously on its side 32 with a label 33. The label 33, enlarged, is shown in FIG. 2B. It is preferably a label having a bar code 34 consisting of a series of vertically aligned white and black lines. The label 33 may also have the same information in alphanumeric letters 35.
FIG. 3 illustrates one method of obtaining an exact and "absolute" geographic location. The absolute location is the position in terms of latitude and longitude and elevation, as distinct from a location by building, hut or street. As shown in FIG. 3, an airport runway 40 has its end marked by a marker 41. The exact geographic location of the end of the runway is known from maps of the United States Geographic Agency (NOAA). On those maps the position of the marker is exact within one foot or less. It is possible, by aerial photography, to utilize the airport marker as a position location and from that marker exactly locate every other object within the photograph.
As shown in FIG. 3, a building 42 having a roof 43 is located at its exact geographic position by placing a colored flag 44 on the corner of the roof. The flag 44 may be seen in an aerial photograph in relationship to the marker 41, which will be shown in the same photograph. Consequently, the exact location of the corner of the building 41 may be located in terms of longitude and latitude and elevation.
In one example, the geographic location is obtained from the generation of digital terrain elevation data (DTED). Precision computer-controlled electro-optical scanning of stereo pairs of high-resolution aerial photographs provides a digital record of the ground elevation at each latitude and longitude and elevation at the selected samples in the photographs. The precision instruments that generate DTED are available from Systems, Inc. Digital terrain elevation data (DETL) is a standard output of the Defense Mapping Agency. The algorithms and software exist to extract this data from stereo photography.
Preferably the location information, namely, exact longitude and latitude and elevation, is obtained from remote sensing, for example, from high resolution and photography, as mentioned above. The standard aerial photograph is a 9"�9" aerial photograph from the U.S.G.A. (United States Geographic Agency). Alternatively, the location may be obtained by a survey, using high precision surveying insturments.
A digitized image may be formed from the standard 9"�9" aerial photograph from the U.S.G.A.; for example, it may be digitized to 8,000�8,000 pixels by the digitizer 22. The area covered by the aerial photograph is about eight kilometers square, so the resolution of the pixels is about a meter on the ground. That data is then combined with elevation data on the computer.
The bar code label affixed on each item provides a "bar code designation" for that item. The bar code reader reads the labels and its output is "bar code inventory data" which is collected by the teletransactional computer instrument 19, which unloads the data to PC (computer terminal) 20, see FIG. 1. The "absolute geographic data" refers to the latitude and longitude, and in most cases the elevation, of each inventory item. It is distinct from data giving location by street address or building address. The absolute geogrpahic data and the item designation code are combined, for each item, to produce "inventory data" as to each item. A hand-held camera 21, for example, a 35-mm camera, produces images which are digitized by digitizer 22 and entered into the system.
Preferably the back-up storage (data base storage 23) is in another part of the country from the local area networks. For example, a mid-west back-up storage location would service a large number of local area networks located in the eastern United States. The back-up storage preferably utilizes, for its mass storage, non-erasable optical disks which are written and read by laser beams.
The system and method of the present invention may be viewed as analogous, in general concept, to "vector space" process in which "vector space" is a set representing a generalization of a system of vectors. The vectors here are the identification of items and their absolute geographic location which is in three-dimensional space and information is placed on images by the user. In contrast, a system with such absolute geographic location may be considered diametric or complementary, in general concept, to a "raster" system in which the scan pattern for items is from side to side in lines from top to bottom.
The "inventory data" preferably includes information, as to each item, telling "what", for example, a desk, "where" its absolute geographic location and its location within a building at an address, and "when", for example, the data it was purchased or the data it was refinished. Each item has a "three dimensional inventory standard", which is its latitude, longitude and elevation. Also each item has a laser bar code inventory which is the bar code label on the item. A "quality and quantity analysis standard" is provided as part of the inventory data and may be the item's replacement cost or fair market value. Further, each inventory data preferably employs the user's own numbering system for each item which provides a "filing, storage and retrieval standard".
The inventory data may be printed-out on "hard copy", preferably in color, at 300-400 pixels per square inch by a suitable printer such as a multi-color high-density dot matrix printer or a laser printer 18.

"The question you have to ask: Does the game make you? Or do you make the game?"
This question posed by Michael Jordan in the newest piece of promotional material for the Air Jordan XX8 is ironically one that he'd be best positioned to answer. As MJ and his Air Jordans go, so goes the sneaker world, and His Airness challenges us directly to get on board with the daring new XX8 design. This 30-second clip features eye-catching cameos from Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin and an exploding basketball one clever YouTuber saw as "inspiration for the dunk contest." The Air Jordan XX8 figures to make a big impact on this NBA All-Star weekend, so stick with Sneaker News for all the latest and Dare to Fly after the jump below.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8ZJRmYX3d8

text: I have read posts re this and don't see a solution except developing into a debate on whether or not its low. The headset volume is extremely low on this phone. Were talking like turn down ac fan in car to hear low. I just got the phone and it does every thing great except calls! The hearing aide app does not increase volume. Yes I tried different headsets and earbuds. They have got to come out with a software fix or I am going to have to get a amp for my headset! Ridiculous!

Pasquales on MacLeod Ratings and Reviews
From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel special. This is a family run gem. Pasquale takes pride in the kitchen while his wife and son and daughter take pride up front. The menu is varied, there are a lot of sandwich options for lunch and the dinner menu is really good. The food is well prepared and super tasty, no matter whether you order an Italian special with pasta or veal or you order the fish or the chicken. All are beautifully presented and you feel rewarded when you are done. The service is great too...all with a smile.
We were offered the choice of dining indoors or on the patio. We took the patio and, boy, was it nice. Nearby trees provided shade and we barely noticed any noise from MacLeod Trail. The patio must be a well kept secret! I'd even venture to say the food tasted even better, if that's possible. Another 10/10 experience!
Meal was excellent, brother here visiting from Courtney BC. Our waitress was Not a very Nice friendly person. Had my 7 year old Grandaughter with Us apparently she does not like Children. She was quite Rude to All of Us. We will not be Back. Not like our meal was free.
I came with my husband for my bday and the food was awesome.
In 10 days we returned with friends for anniversary celabration again :) as we love everything about this special Italian family restaurant!
Friendly, cozy place and delicious food!
P.S we cannot wait to return!
Pasquale's is a friendly family owned restaurant that's been our favorite for years. This is the place for authentic Italian cuisine, not to be confused with a chain - so be prepared for fresh and flavorful food. Last night I had the best peppercorn steak ever! My husband always get the filet with mushrooms and scallops and he loved it. Sides are so tasty too. If you're unsure on what to order just ask - they are so helpful. PS: Save room for dessert.
We have been going to Pasquale's for years. We have taken customer's and suppliers of ours from around the world. The one common denominator, is that everyone loves Pasquale's. Our grandson's loved Pasquale's when they were little. 14 years later, they still love it. Fantastic, authentic Italian food, created and served by an Italian family. Thank you Pasquale, Isabell and your family for taking good care of us over the years. Barry
I go to Pasquale's when I just want a no-fuss guaranteed-good meal. They never disappoint. Service is usually excellent, but I think they must have been short-staffed the last time I was there.
I always order the Lemon Chicken Fantasy Salad for lunch. I try to order other things - but just can't do it. I LOVE this salad.
For dinner, the Penne Caruso is recommended if you are in the mood for pasta. The veal dishes are also excellent.
Pasquale often comes out to chat and his wife, Isabella is a gracious hostess.

Over the last 30 years, a large share of state budgets have been allocated to public education but how can state policymakers reduce the rate of growth of local and state spending on education? The most promising answer is school choice, says David Salisbury of the Cato Institute.
Legislative and independent evaluations of the fiscal effects of school choice have shown significant cost savings. According to researchers:
- Results from programs in Arizona, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maine and Vermont indicate that allowing more students to attend private schools saves money.
- Local school choice programs show that significant savings can be realized through local option school choice, while still maintaining a high level of quality for students who remain in public schools.
- School districts in states where no constitutional prohibition exists could adopt school choice unilaterally.
Therefore, policymakers at the state and local level can anticipate positive results from adopting school choice as a part of a fiscally responsible budgetary strategy, says Salisbury.

No matter how long we've been recovering, no matter how solid our spiritual ground, we may still feel an overwhelming desire at times to punish, or get even, with another person.
We want revenge.
We want to see the other person hurt the way he or she has hurt us. We want to see life deal that person just rewards. In fact, we would like to help life out.
Those are normal feelings, but we do not have to act on them. These feelings are part of our anger but it's not our job to deal justice.
We can allow ourselves to feel the anger. It is helpful to go one step deeper and let ourselves feel the other feelings - the hurt, the pain, the anguish. But our goal is to release the feelings, and be finished with them.
We can hold the other person accountable. We can hold the other person responsible. But it is not our responsibility to be judge and jury. Actively seeking revenge will not help us. It will block us and hold us back.
Walk away. Stop playing the game. Unhook. Learn your lesson. Thank the other person for having taught you something valuable. And be finished with it. Put it behind, with the lesson intact.
Acceptance helps. So does forgiveness - not the kind that invites that person to use us again, but a forgiveness that releases the other person and sets him or her free to walk a separate path, while releasing our anger and resentments. That sets us free to walk our own path.
Today, I will be as angry as I need to be, with a goal of finishing my business with others. Once I have released my hurt and anger, I will strive for healthy forgiveness - forgiveness with boundaries.
I understand that boundaries, coupled with forgiveness and compassion, will move me forward.

"Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero"
The show about a blue superhero battling toxic waste turns 25. Captain Planet and the Planeteers created by Ted Turner, Robert Larken III and Barbara Pyle aired in the 1990s with a culminating 113 episodes; the second longest cartoon series in the US during that time. Executives Pyle and Nick Boxer, along with voice director Marsha Goodman, voice actors David Coburn (Captain Planet), Joey Dedio (Wheeler), Ed Asner (Hoggish) and environmental activist Oren Lyons held a panel at New York Comic Con on Thursday to celebrate the series.
The TV show was about Gaia, the spirit of planets sending five magical rings to five youths to defend Earth from nature disasters, pollution, and educate others about the harmful destruction occurring on the planet. Kwame — power of Earth, Wheeler — the power of fire, Linka — the power of wind, Gi — the power of water, and Ma-Ti — the power of heart, and all powers combined summon the hero Captain Planet.
Like most heroes, Captain Planet and the Planeteers had to deal with the villains known as the Eco-Villains and Captain Planet's evil counterpart Captain Pollution.
The show tackled topics such as puppy mills and socio-political issues. The episode "Mind Pollution" discussed drug abuse and "A Formula for Hate" examined the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Captain Planet was the first animated children's series in America to bring awareness to the issue.
The producers changed the show's title to The New Adventures of Captain Planet in 1993 under Hanna-Barbera Productions. Captain Planet's ending credit theme song — written by Nick Boxer — is one of the most memorable themes from the '90s.
Aside from action figures, comics and a Nintendo video game, the producers created the Captain Planet Foundation, an organization dedicated to sustain natural systems, renewable energy, water life, giving grants to environmental projects, teaming up with the National Wildlife Conservation and educating youths nationally and worldwide about maintaining a healthier planet.
In 2013 Sony announced plans for a Captain Planet film, however no details have been released since then. Fans of Captain Planet can still follow the movement and keep up to date with other planeteers here.
The power is yours!
Captain Planet made it his mission to prevent any destruction from happening to the planet. We have to ask where he was during these times:
Which of the planeteers' powers would you most like to wield?

My boyfriend and I stayed here the last week of August. When you first arrive it's breathtaking to be in the serene and beautiful decor. The lobby area is very dreamlike and elegant. When you look up from the first floor there are beautiful layers of balconies that glide up to the sky light. The rooms were very comfortable and relaxing and I highly recommend to stay in the Sheherazade room. We ate dinner at the resort every night. The food was absolutely phenomenal, I highly recommend it. We especially loved the Couscous Poulet (Chicken Couscous). The staff went above and beyond for us and scheduled everything we needed. I really can't express the incredible hospitality we received from the staff at The Riad Princesse Jamila. I also would recommend the massages, they are really calming and blissful.

After bearing witness to the senseless killing of his parents, young Bruce Wayne was set on his life's mission to fight the evils that lurk in the night. With training from across the globe and an arsenal of cutting edge technology funded by the Wayne fortune, he adopted a fearsome bat persona to intimidate criminals. Relentlessly pursuing those that prey on the innocent Batman seeks to save others from suffering the losses he has endured.
Batman was part of the heroes who stood up to fight the forces of Nekron and his army of Manhunters, making unlikely alliances with some of his usual enemies.
Powers and Abilities
- There are three playable versions of Batman in the game. The default version is called "Caped Crusader" and is an original design for the game. The second version is called "The Dark Knight" and is designed after the DC Extended Universe version of Batman. The third version is called "World's Greatest Detective" and it is another original design, although it is reminiscent of some comic book versions.

Kari Simpson has written an open letter to homofascist lawyer Douglas
Elliott demanding to be added as a defendant in the $104 million dollar
class action lawsuit against Whatcott and his supporters
Dear Friends,
Many interesting and new developments have occurred this week in the $104 million dollar class action lawsuit that was filed against me.
First of all I would like to thank the Serbian Christian community in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario. They got together and sent a $1350.00 donation to my legal defense fund…
Next it appears Kari Simpson has weighed into my lawsuit and wants to be publicly identified as a "Whatcott supporter" and added as a defendant to my lawsuit.
To that end here is her open letter to the lawyer representing the homofascists.
Douglas Elliot
Cambridge LLP
333 Adelaide Street West
4th Floor, Toronto, Ontario
Via: firstname.lastname@example.com
October 5, 2016
RE: Hudspeth v Whatcott et al
Mr. Elliot,
My name is Kari Simpson. I write to inform you that I am an avid supporter of Bill Whatcott. I am uncertain as to why you are ignorant of this fact. I suspect either you haven't done your due diligence, or you are betting on "Gay Privilege" to win what would be, in any other case, a SLAPP suit.
Had you done your due diligence, you would have easily found numerous interviews I have done with Mr. Whatcott, available on the Internet. You would have seen my name in his book, Born in A Graveyard, and probably read my afterword and my comments, published on the back cover. You would also know that I helped publish his book.
You would also be aware that I actively and very publicly encourage financial support of Mr. Whatcott as he defends his right to freedom of speech; and I also support many other efforts Mr. Whatcott engages in, as I believe they are matters of great public importance.
You would also know that I share Mr. Whatcott's view about the Supreme Court of Canada. I have very publically stated—in my published works, including 2,500+ email notices to lawyers and judges—that Chief Justice McLachlin is a liar and a cheat, and exceeds her legal authority on matters before her court.
Like Mr. Whatcott, I speak with authority on these matters. I invite you to review the Drive For Justice video series available at DriveForJustice.com for more information. You should also be aware that although I have invited Chief Justice McLachlin to sue me if I am wrong, she has yet to do so.
I am no stranger to the tactics of those relying on Gay Privilege within the courts—as opposed to the rule of law. I also appreciate that the mainstream media routinely fails to report on important legal matters whenever the result exposes the antics of militant homosexual activists like Mr. Hudspeth and Mr. Smitherman.
Had you done your due diligence you would know that I, like Bill Whatcott, was hauled up before a Human Rights Commission. My little foray into the stacked quasi (so-called)-judicial arena took place in B.C., for distributing a document called the Declaration of Family Rights, which prohibited misinformation about homosexuality being distributed in the schools without parental notification—as per Ministry of Education policy.
Ironically, in that matter the sex activist complainants lost their enthusiasm when I agreed to go to tribunal, as opposed to settling with them.
The whole Human Rights process became a bit of a joke when I had to subpoena some of the complainants in the case to appear at their own hearing!
Once things got underway, I was able to cross-examine the complainants' first witness. The information extracted during cross-examination was indeed damning. The sex activists decided it was better to limit the damage already done, and they quickly withdrew
As in the aforementioned Human Rights case, I will appear self-represented as a defendant to your claim—and in my countersuit against your clients and the numerous plaintiffs you claim to represent—a countersuit which will be filed within the time limit, after you serve me.
I have had great success in exposing the antics of sex activists and have succeeded in educating many teachers, lawyers and law enforcement agencies about "Gay privilege" and the tactics used.
There is one more bit of business you must consider, Mr. Elliott: your own role as counsel on behalf of the class action. I have information which indicates that you participated in the 2016 Toronto Pride parade; and further that you have made public serious allegations about the misconducts of Black Lives Matter.
These allegations include making public reference to their egregious behaviours, smoke bombs, causing medical distress to attendees… the list goes on. You have also declared that "homophobes"—I presume in your mind, people like Mr. Whatcott—have treated you better than the honoured Pride Parade participants Black Lives Matter. This is a transcript of a radio interview you did shortly after the parade about the Black Lives Matter sit-in:
"Right. I think it is the most reprehensible thing I've seen. I've been at every parade since 1981, and this is the most disgusting disruption of the Pride parade. So homophobes have treated us better than these people did. Uh, it was a complete betrayal. Uh, I was—I'm very concerned about, you know, they brought smoke grenades to the parade. Imagine the people who are still reeling from Orlando seeing grenades being let off, and smoke. It must have been terrifying."
In addition to the numerous compromising and prejudicial matters that arise out of your declarations concerning the tactics of Black Lives Matter. Clearly there are other conflicts of interest that I will want to explore when we go to trial—and I'm certain that Mr. Whatcott's lawyers will as well—and that is your own participation in the parade; your involvement in the development of the highly contentious Dispute Resolution Process for parade participants; and among other matters, your letter of support for Brent Hawkes in the wake of his criminal charges involving indecent assault and gross indecency and a minor male. Additionally, there is your involvement in the latest EGALE propagandist spinout—the Just Society Report—specifically your advocacy contained therein of lowering the age of consent for anal sex, and health issues related to men having sex with men (and minor boys). As you are aware from your pleadings, these matters are directly relevant to the claims you have identified on behalf of those who have "mental distress" as a result of Mr. Whatcott and my support of him.
I note that you are a stickler for rules where others are concerned. I trust that you are clever enough to know that you are in a conflict of interest, and at best may have already compromised the serious accusations made by your clients and the classes of pride attendees—of whom you appear to be one. I trust that you will reconsider your representation in this matter, so that a complaint to the Ontario Law Society won't be necessary. I don't object to you representing yourself, if you want to single yourself out from all of the "classes" you have identified in this action, as it appears you qualify for a number of them.
I look forward to the opportunity to explore the plaintiff's claims through the discovery process, and to expose the facts and provide the court with insights never before made available. I especially look forward to yours.
Please ensure that you, or new counsel, consult me on all matters relating to scheduling, discovery etc., as I will have to arrange travel and accommodation to facilitate what will probably be a lengthy and time-consuming—but very informative—discovery process.
My address for delivery of all documents, including proper service of the revised Statement of Claim, is 22678-28th Avenue, Langley BC, V2Z 3B2. Email is email@example.com. Please provide me with all related documents, including confirmation of pursuit of plaintiffs Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Kathleen Wynne and other members of all classes claimed for in your Statement of Claim.
You should also ensure that your claim is amended to accurately state the words of the late Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, and first coined by the Globe and Mail's Martin O'Malley, concerning the state's involvement in the bedrooms of the nation. You fail to mention, like so many other sex activists when misusing this quote, that the elder Trudeau went on to say, referring to homosexuality: "When it becomes public, this is a different matter, or when it relates to minors, this is a different matter." I appreciate an accurate quoting of his borrowed declaration on matters involving the "…bedrooms of the nations", are damning for matters involving "public" events like Pride Parades and inter-generational sex, a.k.a. lowering the age of consent; but your contextual abuse of the words of Pierre Elliot Trudeau also disparages the former Prime Minister and deliberately seeks to misinform the court.
In closing, you are now aware that you and your clients have made serious assertions about me as a supporter of Mr. Whatcott. A number of these statements are demonstrably false and defamatory, and you have published them in a number of public forums. Be advised that my demand for an apology and restitution from you and your clients will follow forthwith.
You can acquire Mr. Whatcott's book, Born in a Graveyard, on BillWhatcott.com. There you will find—in bold print—at least two of my many endorsements of Mr. Whatcott. The Internet will provide you with much more evidence of my active role in raising money for Mr. Whatcott.
In future, please refrain from making any further falsehoods about Mr. Whatcott's "supporters," the need to "smoke them out" or other nefarious characterizations that are untrue. Failure to do so will result in further legal action.
Govern yourself accordingly,
Kari Simpson
Please keep these dates and places in mind and I can certainly use more helpers for all of these important events!

"I miss you," Zac says, looking into my eyes. His eyes are an icy-blue. When I look at his frozen irises, I always feel an electrical chill running down my spine and my breathing stops. I could get lost into his eyes forever. God help me.
I miss you.
"Improve your aim next time," I retort, rolling my plain brown eyes. There's no way I'm going to fall for his lies again.
Zac steps closer to me, making goosebumps trail my skin, as he holds my gaze intently. "I'm serious. I really miss you, Lia," he says softly, reaching for my hands.
My heart races furiously when he says my name with his silky voice. I feel butterflies in my stomach and my entire body trembles at his touch. I hate the way he's making me feel without even trying.
I really miss you.
Immediately, I move my hands away. "I have to go now, but I hope I run into you one day... with my car," I say coldly. I can't let him see the effect he has on me.
Before I can leave, Zac holds onto my arm with a tight grip. My heart is fluttering again and my mind is racing with infinite thoughts. I feel my palms getting sweaty and my body is tingling from his touch. Why did my stupid body enjoy his touch so much?
"I was an idiot. I'm sorry," Zac says, trying to make me look into his goddamn beautiful eyes again. Those eyes that make my knees weak. For a moment, I felt my breath being taken away, but I shake my head.
No, I'm just suffocating from his bullshit.
I'm sorry.
"You will be sorry if you don't let me go, right now," I told him firmly. I can't let him in again. I can't drop my defense.
"I made the mistake of letting you go once. I'm not letting you go again," he says, pulling me closer to his chest. I feel like I'm experiencing the aftermath of flying. The world is spinning around me, making me feel dizzy. The only thing I can hear is the beating of my heart.
No, no. I won't cave in.
I made the mistake of letting you go.
"The only mistake you're making is confusing me for someone who gives a damn," I snap, venom dripping in my words. I push his hard chest, trying to pull away from his grip, but he wraps his arms around my tiny waist. His grip has tightened on me considerably and I feel myself getting more breathless.
"Look at me," Zac says. He knows I'm avoiding his gaze. It's easier that way, but he's so stubborn. He tilts my chin up with his smooth hand. My heart stops momentarily when I look into his cold-blue eyes. His gaze is piercing through me and I swear he''s going to steal my beating heart.
My mind is screaming at me to protect myself.
Look at me.
"There's something about your face..." I begin, scanning my eyes across his handsome pale features, "that makes me want to punch it."
"Would it kill you to be nice?" Zac says, his pink lips frowning. God, I could kiss those lips... if they didn't spew out so much shit.
"I would say nice things, but I'd rather tell the truth," I retort, snorting slightly (my bad habit).
"You think you're being smart, don't you?"
"Me, being smart? How would you know?" I laugh rudely, snorting as I did so. His face twists slightly, as if he's trying to control his temper. I can tell that I was getting on his nerves. Good.
"Can we just talk properly? Please," Zac says. He's pulling me so close to him that we are inches away from kissing. There's sorrow across his features, his blue eyes glinting miserably. Seeing him so sad causes a deep ache in my heart, almost as if there's something punching my chest.
"I'm sorry. I don't speak idiot," I say. It hurts me to say this. It hurts to even push him away, but I can't let him break my heart again. I have to stay strong and move on.
He finally lets me go. It's like I resurfaced from under water -- I feel like I can breathe again.
"I hope your day is as pleasant as you," Zac tells me morbidly. I glare at him. I really want to slap him and kiss him and then slap him again. Why do I feel such conflicting emotions for this asshole?
I walk away from him. Silence is the best response to his bullshit. It was definitely difficult seeing him again. My stupid ex boyfriend.
I miss you...
I arrive home. Home sweet home.
After seeing him, my mood is simply black. My body is still shaking from his touch and my heart is thudding like crazy. He made me feel so weak, so dizzy from that confrontation. I can barely think straight.
I throw myself on my creamy sofa, my face sinking deep into the matching sofa cushions, as I scream my frustrations aloud. I hear someone coughing. I look up and see my sister, Jenny, who is staring at me blankly. She doesn't seem at all surprised by my emotional outburst.
"How are you?" She asks calmly.
"I'm a healthy, white, middle class girl. I'm great, can't complain," I retort, rolling my eyes. My mind torments me yet again as I think about him. His piercing, cold-blue eyes that destroy me. His messy, jet-black hair that I love to run my fingers through. His strong, muscular arms around me, making me feel safe and scared at the same time.
I scream into the pillow again.
"If you scream any louder, our neighbors will think you're a slut," my sister responds nonchalantly. She grabs the remote and switches the channel, watching something horror-related.
I pick myself up and put my knees to my chest, as I hug the cushion close to me. It's like my comfort blanket.
"How are you?" I ask Jenny. Despite my hammering heart, I try to calm myself down.
"I didn't have my morning coffee, but I didn't kill anyone yet. So I'm good," Jenny replies, not taking her brown eyes off the screen.
I sigh. I want to talk about my love life, but my sister is not the person for that. She's too busy with her movies and video games to bother with other people's affairs. She doesn't even bother talking about her own love life. Last time I asked, she simply responded with, "I'm in love with life" - and that's as meaningful as our conversation went.
I whip out my phone to message my only friend I had left - who didn't back-stab or abandon me like the rest.
Me: Hey, girl. Wanna hang out?
I got an instant response. Of course, Bree is always on her phone.
Bree: Sure. Coming over :)
I lie down on the sofa again and I try to make myself comfortable. Closing my eyes, I try to erase him from my mind. No such luck. Flashbacks of him embracing me in this sofa torment my mind. The way he holds me tightly, caging me in his strong arms, like he'll never let go. The way he softly breathes against my neck, fluttering my heart with his every breath. The warmth of his chest as I rest my head against his cozy body. And his soft, soft lips kissing my forehead, before I fall asleep.
God, I remember him so vividly that it hurts. My poor, weak heart.
In no time, my friend arrives. Bree has a spare key to our place, so she lets herself in. By this time, Jenny is eating a slice of pizza while staring at the television screen like a zombie. I didn't have to open my eyes to know that.
"Hey, is Lia sleeping?" Bree asks my sister.
"No, she's training to die," Jenny replies.
"Why?" Bree asks.
Now is a good time to open my eyes. I see the confusion plastered across Bree's face. Poor girl, she has a hard time understanding sarcasm.
"Come on. Let's go out," I say to Bree, jumping to my feet and stretching my arms. I was thinking somewhere simple like the park. Just for some fresh air but, of course, party-girl Bree has other ideas.
"Okay, let's go clubbing!" She chirps.
I roll my eyes. "Sure, there's nothing better than a cramped and crowded place, where you can never hear anything and everything is ridiculously overpriced."
"You know it," Bree giggles. "Let's go change into some sexy outfits."
"Sure, 'cos there's nothing I love more than ruining my dress with vodka," I say, sarcasm enunciating every word.
"Yup, that's the spirit, girl! We are gonna get so wasted!" Bree says excitedly.
"I'm getting a migraine now, even though I haven't been drinking," Jenny states moodily, as she grabs her headpiece. She is shooting death glares our way.
"Aww, I'm so sorry," Bree says to her, failing to take the hint. "Take some painkillers or something."
I sigh heavily. "Let's go. I wanna forget all about him."
"The one that got away?" Bree says in a hushed, secretive tone. She knows that I don't like his name being mentioned.
"The only thing worse than the 'one who got away' are the ones who don't go away," Jenny snaps.
My sister is clearly in her introvert mood. She probably should've had that morning coffee. Oh well, it's best to leave her alone.
"Come on," I say, grabbing Bree's arms and dragging her upstairs to get ready for our night out.
Bree looks gorgeous, as she always does. She's got beautiful golden curls that flow past her shapely butt. Her make-up is on point, accentuating her natural beauty. She's wearing a revealing, baby-blue dress that suspiciously looks a lot like lingerie. Yet it looks fantastic on her - it matches her twinkly blue eyes.
I look like a hot mess next to her. I'm squeezed into a tight black dress with my hair up and my face caked with make-up. I feel like a completely different person when I'm dolled up like this. We're heading to a nightclub called Deadly Sins.
Just as I suspected, it's loud and annoying when we got there. People are grinding against each other on the dance floor and sweaty bodies are mixing their fluids. I look at Bree and I see that she's already talking to some guy -- a tall, handsome blonde. In a weird way, they kind of look like brother and sister.
I shake my head. Ew, no. I shouldn't be thinking this way.
I make my way towards the bartender. I don't exactly have a plan tonight. All I know is that I want to drown my sorrows away with alcohol, black out and forget everything.
"Hey, sweetheart. What would you like?" The bartender asks me.
A new lover, I want to say. Instead, I order the newest drink on the menu - the Devil's Tears.
"Excellent choice. It's a drink I specially made myself," the bartender responds. He prepares the drink and hands me the tall glass. "Make a wish. It'll come true," he says with a wink.
I take a sip. "Mmm, lovely. Thank you," I say, as I pay and walk off.
Pfft, what is he on about? Wishes don't come true.
Suddenly I bump into a brick wall. I almost spill the drink on myself, but I manage to hold my glass steady. The figure turns around to face me.
Well, it isn't exactly a brick wall. But he shares the same IQ level as a brick wall. It's none other than my sworn enemy -- Jax Dagenhart. God, I hate this guy so much.
"Oh, hey Fiona. Where's Shrek?" He shouts above the blaring music. He named me after an ogre when we were children. Now the nickname has stuck. Some things never change.
"Not that it's any of your business, Jerkface, but we broke up," I shout back. Of course, I can't expect any sympathy from him.
Jax laughs carelessly. "My phone battery lasted longer than your relationship."
I grit my teeth. "Oh, how original. I'd call you a douchebag but that implies you can get near a vagina," I retort.
He smirks. His signature bad boy smirk that most girls love, but I absolutely hate with my guts. I've seen that smug look too often and, frankly, I'm sick of it.
"Protip, you should eat your make-up. Maybe it'll make you pretty on the inside," Jax yells, his forest-green eyes glinting maliciously.
"Says the one with a baboon's butt for a face," I snap. My voice is straining from all the shouting. Why do they blast the music so goddamn loud?
Jax is looking at me smugly. God, I hate that smirk so much, almost as much as I hate... well, him. He's so arrogant and obnoxious. I know he enjoys pissing me off. For that reason, I don't want to waste my time on this asshole any longer.
I'm about to walk away, but I suddenly feel my butt being slapped. I almost spill my drink again. I turn around slowly in disbelief. Jax is sneering at me with a look across face, indicating that he's challenging me. That fucking jerk has no respect for girls!
"Hell no," I spit out.
Angrily, I stomp over to him and I chuck my drink at his stupid face. His wet, black hair is hugging his face, as if it's his long lost friend - probably the only friend in his life. The droplets from the drink are pouring down his forehead like sweat and the top half of his shirt is damp. I can see his defined nipples through his black shirt. Damn.
I quickly move my eyes away from his chest. His smirk has vanished. Instead, his face is a picture of pure thunder. He looks so pissed off, like he wants to murder me. Good.
"Are you on your period or something?" Jax snarls.
"You'll be the one bleeding if you say that again," I threaten him fiercely.
Jax glowers at me, his forest-green eyes turning darker than usual, while he's clenching his jaws. I can imagine that, behind his frenzied, crazy eyes, he is imagining my death. I don't care, let him hate me more. Every time we see each other, the hatred gets stronger. The damage is irreparable.
"No wonder Shrek left you. You're so crazy, there's no medicine for your bullshit."
I want to rip his tongue right off his pretty little mouth, but I stop myself.
"At least I'm not as stupid as you look," I say, smirking evilly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be busy ignoring you."
I walk away again and this time I make sure that he doesn't touch my butt. Going clubbing is definitely the worst idea. What was I thinking? I came here to forget my ex and drown away my problems with alcohol. But instead I'm just more angrier than ever. Next to Jerkface Jax, Zac seems like a decent guy. Now I miss him more than ever.
I shake my head furiously. No, they're both assholes.
I scan the area for Bree. I just need a friend to talk to. I spot her dancing away with that blond guy. He's twirling her in the air effortlessly. She's squealing and seeming like she's having a blast. Why should I interrupt her fun and depress her with my problems? Fuck that.
I sit down by myself in an empty bar sofa, located in the corner of the room. It's darker there and the music isn't so deafening. I rest my head against the glass table and I close my eyes.
I'll just fall asleep here. Maybe that's all I need to do. Just sleep and leave this world behind.
Suddenly my phone buzzes. I look at the screen -- and my heart jumps frantically. A message from him.
Zac: I still miss you.

See Full Schedule Below
The BandWorks Adult Band Workshop is an 8-week session offering adult musicians a chance to play in a rock band and perform live on-stage. We take care of all the logistics — setting the rehearsal time, booking the rehearsal studio, picking songs, providing charts and mp3s, even arranging the gig — all you have to do is show up and play! Musicians can come in with friends, or sign up on their own to be placed in a group. Every musician gets placed with a band carefully selected to match his or her experience level and instrument. Then, for two hours each week, they work with our staff of professional musician-instructors in our fully equipped professional music studio. After honing their sets, the bands take to the stage and perform live at a popular local venue in front of a large audience of supporters.
The BandWorks Vocal Workshop in San Rafael is an 8-week session for singers of all ages. With the help of our instructor Carrie Souza vocalists will build a set of songs to perform as a lead singer in a band – popular music styles like rock, blues, pop, reggae, and funk. At the performance the singers will be accompanied by a professional band! All other parameters of the BandWorks Experience apply to this workshop too. It's a blast, and a great way to get ready to lead your own band.
The BandWorks Experience
Over the course of 8-weeks, each band builds a set of songs to perform together—in popular music styles like rock, blues, pop, reggae, and funk. We select the songs for each band based on students' song choices when they sign up, and make sure that when they arrive on the first day the songs are ready to go. (Students can peruse our extensive Song List for ideas, or suggest new ones.) Here are just a few of the things you get from each BandWorks session:
- Just show up and play – your band is already assembled, the songs chosen, your studio reserved, and the gig only 8 weeks away!
- Work closely with a professional musician-instructor/mentor in an intimate setting with your band
- Build self-confidence and develop your musicianship
- Meet like-minded musicians interested in starting a band and playing music
- Learn to read charts, play with dynamics, improve your soloing, and rehearse more effectively
- Write an original song with your band
- Receive mp3 recordings and Youtube video links of your concert performance
- Get the real experience of playing in a rock band!
After eight weeks of rehearsal, it's time to hit the stage! Each BandWorks session concludes with a concert performance at a popular local venue featuring all the current BandWorks bands. Always a super fun, rocking event, this session-ending concert gives students an opportunity to put together everything they've learned—and to show off a little for friends and family. Each participant receives professionally recorded mp3s and a youtube video link of their performance.

The Bronx Parking Development Company, the public/private partnership that owns and operates parking garages around the new Yankees Stadium, has defaulted on $237 million in bonds. The Yankees are in the playoffs again, and posted the second highest attendance in the league, but the lots have remained only 43 percent full on game days, and virtually empty the rest of the time.
Atrios explains what went wrong:
The problem is that rich important people who influence and make policy decisions are drivers. Normal people would think that this is New York, the stadium is on top of 8 thousand rail lines, and relatively few people are actually going to drive to a baseball stadium. Decisions about how much parking is needed are made by people who live in a world where people drive everywhere.
It's actually a rather obvious observation, and one that could be applied more broadly in other areas of public policy. It can explain, perhaps, how a group of wealth white guys (you pick the legislative body) could fail to see how refusing to require insurance companies to cover birth control could in any way be seen as denying women the right to reproductive choice.
It speaks to the important of diversity in public office, because narrow experience can lead to tunnel vision. (Pun intended.)
