The SA fire fighters warns against any encroachment to the areas near the Somerset West vegetation as fire outbreaks in the area deepens.
Giving further details on the fire outbreak which began on Tuesday morning, Robert van Wyk, a nature conservationist for the City of Cape Town warned members of the public to avoid the Somerset West area if possible because wildfires, which are burning for the second consecutive day, have made it dangerous.
"For the public, I'd advise them to stay away from these areas because it's very dangerous… It's very, very unsafe," he said as helicopters taking water to the fire-gutted area, had been withdrawn due to the high winds and turbulence near the mountains.

City of Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson Theo Lane also revealed that the temperature in the area is expected to soar to 34°C on Wednesday even as the wind is expected to pick up again.
Meanwhile, van Wyk said on Wednesday that smoke from the fire was making visibility in the area poor and that firefighters had turned their focus to the Vergelegen area, as flames spread there.
People are therefore urged not to stop on the side of the roads, particularly the N2, to watch the fire, because the emergency vehicles were moving through the area so quickly and needed the route to be as clear as possible.
More than 100 firefighters had reportedly, worked through the night to control the blazes burning all round Helderberg mountains near Somerset West.
The firefighters were assisted by three helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft which were taking water to the areas difficult to reach by foot.
Fires were located mainly around the Bezweni Lodge, Knorhoek, the Vergelegen Farm and McGregor Farm.

Layne however, urged people to continue to drop donations of water and cool drinks (individual sizes if possible), snack bars and eye drops at Strand Fire Department – or at the Somerset West Neighbourhood Watch Communication Centre at 153 Main Road.

I'm sure you've heard before that the biggest obstacle to getting success on a journey is simply getting started.
"Once you overcome the anxiety of getting started, the rest of the road becomes easy."
That's a deceiving mindset IMO because when things get hard, you'll be caught off-guard, unprepared, and ready to quit.
Training sessions become challenging or you realize that the self-discipline needed to stay on top of your nutrition might be higher than what you anticipated.
The last thing you want to be in is a perpetual state of starting and quitting things.
The antidote to this mental toughness.

I want to Call Girl
Some are calling Donald Trump's recent revelation a low blow and dirty politics. Some are calling it fair play in a very dirty game. This morning via Twitter as promised, Donald Trump spilled the beans about his opponent, Lyin' Ted Cruz' wife, Heidi. In a Skypeinterview with Donald Trump this morning, The Scooper was able to get some clarification in this new aspect of the Trump, Cruz feud.
"Lyin' Ted Cruz is married to a former call girl. It's terrible. So terrible, " stated the Donald. "I mean, Lyin' Ted Cruz thinks that Americans want a call girl in the White House? It's terrible. Just terrible, " rambled Mr. Trump.
When asked how came to be in possession of this information, Mr. Trump responded, "It's terrible. I didn't want to have to spill the beans. But I warned him (Cruz) not to go down this path. I warned him. It's terrible. He put out an attack ad about my wife. It's terrible, terrible. I warned him. But, he wants to play dirty. I know about a lot of skeletons in GOP closets. It's terrible. That is why the GOP is so very, very afraid of me. They know that I know, and they know that I will say what I know if I have to say what I know. You know? It's terrible. Just horrible."
When asked why he thought this was terrible, The Scooper asked a follow-up question.
"How do you know, and is your assertion that Heidi Cruz is a former call girl the truth?"
"Well, I have been in the same room with her when she has committed these terrible, terrible acts. I have pictures! I have video!" exclaimed The Donald. "She is sitting there, dialing the phone. One poor person after another having to endure unsolicited calls from this girl. She wouldn't stop. She called, and called, and called. It's terrible. Horrible. And the things she says to these poor voters. Horrible."

Detox cleanse method is primarily done to eliminate all the body toxins. To do this, having a healthy diet to enhance the functions of the kidneys, lymphatic glands, and liver is necessary. However there are some limitations that must be observed. Detox cleanse involves several fitness programs and methods that can help eliminate some health issues like lethargy and allergies; thus, enhancing physical strength. Choosing a diet based on consumption of raw vegan food enables individuals who undergo diet programs to alter their eating habits. Diet methods that use detox cleanse are beneficial for dieters who are physically active and into sports.
Detox cleanse programs associate m ost health problems to the liver ' s inability to work properly. Detox diets mainly consist of vegetable and fruit combinations, regular intake of 2 liters amount of water, organic drink and food, whole unprocessed food, some herbs like yucca root, licorice root, gentian root, psylium seeds, and milk thistle, which provide aid during the detox process. While food items such as refined and processed foods, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, some supplements, and caffeine are avoided when undergoing cleanse programs. Moreover, detox cleanse concentrate on reducing stress by finding out the dieter's lifestyle and paying attention to the aspects that can contribute to stress. Detox program is beneficial for individuals who have chosen the vegetarian diet over the meat diet. Individuals who try to become vegetarian would often crave for their old eating diet and tend to go back to eating meat. This is a critical phase of the healthy living lifestyle that is being addressed by detox diet, which is very important. Colon or liver are the organs that are usually being targeted by many cleanse diet and detoxification programs.
Opting for a diet consisting of junk foods hinder the good result obtained from gaining weight although there are more than a handful of food products that individuals can include in their diet and yet get rid of unwanted fats. This can be achieved when undergoing cleanse program by allowing the combination of various foods in regular diet. There are plenty of health benefits offered by detoxification products. They can boost the body ' s energy level. Many individuals use detoxification items to lose excess weight. They keep on using these detoxification products prompting many religions to practice such. Colon detoxification diet program consists of juice diet; extracting juice from fruits through squeezing to ensure that freshness remains. This provides enough resting time for the colon when it comes to digesting daily food intake.

Strong Leadership
by Rabbi Yaacov Chaiton
What are the hallmarks of a strong leader?
In this week's Torah portion Moses starts preparing for "the day after". He asks of G-d to "appoint a man over the assembly who shall go out before them and come in before them who shall take them out and who shall bring them in, and let the assembly of G-d not be like sheep that have no shepherd".
Simply put, Moses' request that the one who fills his shoes be "one who shall go out before them and come in before them"; was that G-d should appoint a bold man who would not be content with sending out others to war while he stays behind in his fortified bunker. Moses wanted the leader of the Jewish people to be a man of action, one who leads by example - "one who shall go out before them".
But there is more to it:
For many of today's "leaders" it's all about being popular. There are no principles, values or standards that are non-negotiable. The latest poll is what determines their next policy. Today the public feels like this so the leader goes along with it. As public opinion changes, so does the leader's. What matters most to these "leaders" is their legacy, how they will be remembered by the public. These "leaders" are not leading the people anywhere; they are being led by the people.
A leader's mandate is to lead. His job is to have clearly defined goals of what is for the overall good of his people. He strides in that direction and draws the people after him. He is constantly sensitive to the needs of his people and is in no way indifferent to what people think but at the same time is not afraid to move in the direction of what he feels is right, even if it may affect his popularity.
In the Talmud there is a short but very interesting discussion on leadership that goes as follows: Abaya said "if a scholar is loved by all the people of his town it's not necessarily because he is gifted but because he fails to rebuke them in matters of heaven." Rava said "Before I took up a position of leadership everyone used to like me, when I became a leader I thought that there are some who like me and some who dislike me. When the people began to see that even those who thought that they are the losers today are actually the winners tomorrow I realized that if I'm loved I'll eventually be loved by all, if I'm hated I'll eventually be hated by all."
Abaye is teaching us that a "leader" who is only interested in popularity cannot be doing his job properly. Rava adds that though a true leader may suffer in the present-day polls, at the end of the day when people realize that this was a principled leader who only had their overall good in mind - he will be vindicated, remembered and respected. Because ultimately people appreciate and respect a person with firm values and reject weak-kneed "leaders" who are only interested in self-promotion.
This is the kind of leader that Moses requested for his people - "one who shall go out before them and come in before them". He wanted a successor who would be the leader not the led, one who would go out before them and they follow him rather than them going out and him following them.


text: Can anyone tell me what a reasonable price for an accountant would be? We started our own small business this year and just realized me made a mistake on our taxes. I would like to start going to an accountant now rather than do this stuff ourselves. It's getting too complicated for taxes!! We're north of Atlanta if that makes a difference.

good place to make contacts
POOR management
no knowledge sharing
basis of company income VERY questionable
no time off
Advice to Management
start making employees your number 1 priority. the turnover rate has to be close to 75% in the last year. it is not tied to one specific person or thing, but a series of poor management decisions. the company is on the borderline of implosion and you guys walk around like there is no problem at all. your lack of focus on employees shows.
Don't let the other posts fool you. Terenine has been reorginizing to meet growth demands and quite frankly some of the staff had to go because of performance issues or just did not have the skills necessary to meet the changes that are occuring. It is a great work environment with a bright future as a company and for individuals that work there. Five years of experience with the company.
Don't expect to just ride the wave and have a 9-5 job.....growth demands are high and expectations are high. If you want to be on cruise control it won't work...expect to be challenged and held accountable
Advice to Management
Contiue to add the necessry staff to meet growth demands...it appears that is happening, but don't let up.
Helpful (4)
You will make some great connections, and work with some very intelligent people.
Without saying anything negative about the company, I will share my experience...make your own determination. I got a great performance review and was "laid off" citing "workforce reduction" and my job was reposted the next day. Additionally, This is an ultra-religious company, people will breakout in prayer during meetings...which could be very uncomfortable if you're not a Christian. They will also tell you that the company has been in business for 7 years, that is quite misleading. The parent company Credit Payment Services , an online payday loans company, has been in business for 7-8 yrs. T9 was the IT department and it was spun off in 2010. When I left profits were extremely low because they don't really have many customers that they charge. Usually, they owner will give a company money to pay for their services...quite a different business model.
I hope that this review will be of assistance to someone that is considering employment with this company.
Advice to Management
Please fire yourselves...you have run away all of the talent in the organization.

One does get wary of the various pieces of cover letter writing advice that one gets on the web. Cover letter writing is no rocket science. All you have to do is demonstrate a fit between your background and an advertised position. A cover letter that singles you out as a particularly promising employee, is one that wins hands down. Typically, cover letters reveal something about the quality of an employee's mind, a fact that is sacred to employers who are looking for a "no-trouble-immediately-contributory" employee.
Always remember that a cover letter is not simply a job application. It goes way beyond being that. It lays out your agenda and your qualifications, making it obvious that no one can be better than you. A cover letter is also considered a writing sample – believe it or not, your communication skills are of great importance to employers who do not want to hire people who will be tongue-tied or have a constant writer's block!
But sounding arrogant or over confident is a no go in cover letters. By all means, boast your qualifications but do not make them seem unbelievable. Never allow careless errors to creep into your cover letter and you can say hello to that cushy desk job that you always wanted!
Here is a sample to help you write your own cover letter:

Mr. Dennis Taylor
Hiring Manager
DEX Media
56 NW 4th Avenue
La Center, WA 98652
Dear Mr. Taylor:
It has been a while since I have seen failure in the eye but even in the event of one, I always have a backup plan! And this is perhaps the sole reason for me staying afloat in the advertising arena for such a long time – 12 years to be precise! Orchestrating discussions with clients to determine their advertising needs and meeting those requirements exactly as they want, is my forte.
In the previous decade, I have never had a dissatisfied client which in itself is a great accomplishment. Additionally, I have successfully increased The Dew Market's share in the industry by a whopping 52%, by aggressively creating and implementing core advertising plans to intensify its presence in the market. Also to my name are 52 training sessions that I designed and delivered to newly-hired advertising executives between the years 2008 and 2015.
I am excited to work as part of DEX Media as I am quite sure of my success in creating new clientele, meeting the advertising needs of existing ones and organizing workflow to guarantee prompt completion of projects within provided deadlines.
Because my skills are best explained in person, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you personally and provide you with a wider overview of my capabilities. I will call next week to see when we might be able to arrange a meeting. Until then, I can be contacted at (000) 777-3232.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Seventy-two years after the Holocaust, western Ukraine is still replete with remnants of Jewish life, even as the community's history has vanished from popular consciousness. Kaufman's photographs, created on a recent trip to Lviv, Chernivtsi, and surrounding towns, depict the region's abundant but neglected Jewish material culture. These large-scale images vividly portray Jewish neighbourhoods, memorial sites, cemeteries, and synagogues, some in good condition, some adapted for other uses, some in a state of ruin.

Thank you for the replies already! So quick!
Yes I've been ALL over pinterest trying to figure out what I want!
In the old house I had a computer desk but that broke, and then 3, unmatching, not well sliding drawer dressers. So I would like to do away with those.
Also, in the old house the room could not be closed off from my cats or children. Now I can. So that changes how I can have things laid out. I can keep my ribbon out and hanging now if i want! Instead of smashed in a drawer!
I LOOOVE the ikea expedit systems. We just got an ikea here like 2 months ago. (winnipeg)

Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment on 38th and 2nd ending about 11. I have to be at 57th and 8th by about 12:45. Seeking lunch.
I like most kinds of food, especially Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Italian.
Looking for something relatively quick and that opens a little early (11:30 or so).
I could go to Szechuan Gourmet on 56th, it is very good, but I go there a lot, seeking something new. I also thought of Phoenix Garden, but they don't open til noon and I don't think I could eat there and make it cross town.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to run all over the world. I have travelled extensively and have run in beautiful, remote places. Breathtaking places. Spiritual places. Places that few people have, or ever will, see. I recognize my good fortune and I am grateful for it all. It contributes to a life well lived.
I also recognize that I don't need to travel all over the planet to experience the beauty and adventure that satisfies my soul. I can stay home, in Utah, and find it all.
Monument Valley is among the long list of amazing places that can be found in Utah. Its history, beauty, and culture are unparalleled anywhere else in our country, and I was excited to line up for a 100 mile trail race that led me through this incredible place.
The Monument Valley 100 is an Ultra Adventures race, and is one of many events that they conduct in some of the most stunning locations in Utah and Arizona. This is definitely a "Bucket List" event that I wasn't going to miss, despite my already packed race schedule.
I was still recovering from the Jackpot 24 Hour race when I showed up in Monument Valley, and I had my eye on a competitive performance at the Pickled Feet 48 Hour, which lands two weeks after Monument Valley. My plan was to run at a very easy, relaxed pace so I would have a chance of recovery before lining up at Pickled Feet. I was going to be a tourist. Running, hiking and taking a lot of spectacular photos. This was a training run for Pickled Feet. My last LONG run.
The 100 mile race had a 7:00 AM start time. It was cold, probably 35 degrees, with a light, but chilly breeze. Pretty much perfect conditions for running, but we were assured that would change quickly as the sun came up. We were in for a hot day in the desert.
Before starting the race, we were treated to a Navajo prayer ceremony, followed by some beautiful native singing. We listened closely to the words, spoken in Navajo, and translated into English, before being sent into the desert on our amazing journey.
Once the ceremony wrapped up, we were set free to run into the desert. As people settled in, I found myself near the front of the pack. My game plan was already falling apart. This is a training run, not a race.
When we turned off the pavement and into the desert for our 36 mile out-and-back, I saw we were being led by Candice Burt. I had never met Candice in person and thought this would be a perfect time for an introduction. If I could ever catch her. That chick was SCOOTING!
This entire 36 mile section of the course is sandy. Very sandy. And as I would eventually learn, the other 64 miles aren't any better. Running through the sand was forcing me to push a 7 minute effort for 9 minute result. Frustrating and exhausting. I kept an eye on Candice and worked my way toward her.
Finally catching up to her, I made my introduction and we launched into conversation that would last for the next several hours.
This out-and-back was leading us through the Mystery Valley and onto Weatherhill Mesa before turning us back to the start/finish line. This route was dotted with arches, ruins, abandoned hogans and dozens of stunning monuments and formations.
Time was passing quickly with the conversation and the scenery, but it was getting hot. The elevating temperatures, mixed with the deep sand, were taking a toll. We slowed to a more sustainable pace and faded back into the pack of runners.
Candice wasn't feeling great and she began a walk/ run routine while she sorted herself out. I stuck with her because I was trying to stay in "tourist mode" for this race and it gave me a good excuse for maintaining an easy pace. We plodded our way through the desert.
We made it to the base of Weatherhill Mesa and worked our way up the rocky grade to the top before darting out onto some rolling trail. The views were stunning, the sand was gone and things were looking better.
We finished the loop on top of the Mesa and headed back the way we came. Moving slower now, we could take the time to truly enjoy the desert landscape.
When we were about a mile from the mile 36 aid station, Candice and I parted ways and I assumed we would run together again later in the race, but that would be last time I saw her.
I exited the trail, met the pavement and headed to the start/finish line, running uphill. I was greeted by my good friend, Kendall Wimmer, who helped me get my pack off and refilled it while Jo took care of my gear changes and other essentials. I was 36 miles into the race and this was my first opportunity to see my crew. It was a very welcomed sight.
It was getting HOT.
Leaving mile 36, I headed the direction I KNEW I had to go. I scanned the area for course markings, found them and headed down a rolling, winding single track. I was feeling much better. I had an upbeat attitude and I was moving well.
This is a 4mile section before hitting the Hogan Aid Station at mile 40, where Jo would meet me and spend the next several hours as I ran different loops, always coming back to Hogan until mile 79, when I would make my way through the desert to the finish line.
At what "felt" like mile 4, there was no aid station. The trail dumped me onto a dusty dirt road and I continued following flags. I met up with another runner and I was whining about this section being too long. When she checked her GPS, she confirmed we were 5 miles into our 4 mile run. And still no sign of an aid station.
Just as I was beginning to transition into full-on bitching, I saw my truck coming down the road toward me. Jo was driving down to look for me because several runners that had been behind me had already come into the Hogan Aid Station. She explained that I had taken the wrong route. The trail I had been on wasn't even for my race! The aid station was still a mile down the road!
My mood faded because I added miles, lost positions and made a huge mental mistake that was going to cost me dearly. Bonus miles...they're always free!
I came into Hogan, still angry at everything. We loaded up my pack with more water, stuffed the pockets with Hammer Gels and I got pointed in the right direction. I headed out...still annoyed.
This next section of the race was a combination of two loops. The 4.5 mile North Window Loop, back to Hogan, then the 9.5 mile Arches Loop...then back to Hogan.
I started down the North Window loop, trudging through more deep sand, cussing and pouting my way along the trail. I saw a table set up in the distance and assumed it was a runner checkpoint. When I got closer, I realized it was Navajo Indian selling jewelry...in the absolute middle of nowhere!
Now, I'm not really a marketing guy, but this seemed like a pretty odd location for a business. Especially considering the only foot traffic would be ultra runners and we don't usually carry cash for a mid-race shopping spree.
I hustled through the winding, rolling, sand infested trail back to Hogan.
Leaving Hogan again, I ran the 9.5 mile Arches loop. This trail takes me past the Totem Poles, several arches and some very cool petroglyphs. Like the rest of the course, it was daunting, sandy, hot and beautiful.
The Arches loop seemed endless in the heat of the day and I was struggling to keep a decent pace. I drank my entire 50 ounce bladder before getting back to the Hogan aid station.
After a prolonged stop at the Hogan aid station, I headed down the dirt road, bound for Mitchell Mesa. The sun was dipping fast and the weather was finally cooling off, beginning to resemble something comfortable. If I wasn't so exhausted from trudging through sand all day, it would have been a very enjoyable run.
Turning off the dirt road, I scurried up a sandy wash toward the mesa, hitting a water stop before the ascent. I could see headlamps bobbing their way through the night. I took a deep breath and tackled the climb.
I was nearly 60 miles into my run. My legs were battered, but I made the climb in excellent time. My legs seemed to respond well to the change of muscle use and I soared to the top.
Once I was on top, I completed another two miles before making the descent. Mitchell Mesa was beautiful at night. The stars and silhouettes from the valley were an amazing sight. I only wish we had hit this high spot during the day when we could have taken full advantage of the scenery.
I scrambled off the mesa and headed back to Hogan.
After reaching Hogan aid, I loaded up and went back out to the Arches Loop. This time in the opposite direction. Then repeated the same with North Window.
In the dark, these loops lost most of their appeal, but I wasn't really in "tourist mode" anymore. I was fading to "survival mode".
My experience at Brigham's Tomb was surreal. I made my way through an open gate, then passed a crowd of gawking horses and unkempt dogs, all eyeing me with great suspicion. When I made it to the tent, I swung the door open and was greeted by a dead stare from three Navajo men. We all locked eyes in silence for a moment before I blurted out, "Number 35! I don't need anything, so I'm heading out! Thanks!".
It was an awkward exchange. I assume they felt the same way.
Heading back out, I picked up the pace again, not out of a desire to gain on the runner in front of me, but more a desire to just be finished.
9 miles to go!
The trail was a mixture of meandering, undefined single track with areas of deep sand that had shifted and blown into a frustrating obstacle. An observer would certainly think I was afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome if they had bore witness to random outbursts of frustration.
At mile 96, I was confronted with an enormous sand dune to ascend. I was warned about this in the pre-race briefing but never would have guessed the magnitude of this monster. I started my climb, hitting numerous false summits, pausing to scream obscenities into the sky at each one. I never thought I would reach the top!
I eventually did, and then made a gradual descent toward the Sentinel Mesa Aid Station at mile 97.
The sun was just beginning to hint toward making an appearance when I arrived at Sentinel. Again, I stuck my head in, gave my bib number and pushed on after thanking the volunteers.
This is where things got interesting!
Making my way through the last few miles, I was running toward a large steel structure in the distance. As I got closer, and the daylight increased, I was unable to make it out. It looked like a giant piece of the Death Star that had fallen into place in the sand. As the terrain shifted, it came and went from my view and my mind was totally preoccupied trying to figure it out.
As I got dangerously close to the Death Star, I heard somebody yell. I spun around to see a light and a man coming my way. Thinking it was another runner, I sped down the trail. The yell came again. I ignored it.
When he yelled for a third time, I spun around and was greeted by a 20 year old Navajo kid holding a flashlight in one hand and a club in the other.
I've run 99 miles through terrible terrain, and there's no way I'm stopping now, no matter how big his club is!
Shit just got real!
Here's the dialog as I remember it:
Me: WHAT?!?!
Navajo kid: This is private property! You can't be here!!
Me: Wrong! I'm running a race with the blessing of the Park, the Navajo Nation and the local chapter! Look at all these flags along the trail! They were put here for us to follow.
Navajo Kid: (now shaking his club) But...but...a race?
Me: Yeah, a foot race. I've been running since yesterday morning. I'm almost done. I really have to go.
Navajo Kid: Yeah..haha. That's cool. Ok. (wanders off toward the Death Star)
Hands down, one of the strangest things to happen to me in a 100 mile trail run.
After passing the Death Star, I made a final descent toward the finish line, which was now in sight. After my short discussion with "Navajo Kid" my legs were rested and I was running very well. The 50 milers run this part of the course backwards and their race had just started. A long line of runners was headed right at me and as we passed, I exchanged greetings with several friends, each giving some form of rousing encouragement as we met. It really lifted my spirits and I smiled for the first time in several hours.
As I got close to the finish line, I became overcome with emotion. This was a feeling that was common early in my running career, but had faded as these accomplishments became routine or redundant. A combination of the beautiful scenery, tougher than expected conditions, and the greeting from so many friends had opened up something that I thought was lost. I was totally choked up.
I finished in 24:19:48, taking 4th place overall. Slow, but well earned. I dropped into the nearest chair and finally felt relief.
This race is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's an absolute gem in the landscape of 100 mile trail races in the United States and I'm elated that I ran it in its inaugural year. The beauty, character and hidden challenges are unmatched in this sport. It's a "must do" event for all ultra runners.
Thanks to Hammer Nutrition, Topo Athletic and Gear:30 for all the support. But a special thanks always goes to my beautiful wife and dedicated crew chief, Jo Agnew. Awesome work by everybody!
Next up: Pickled Feet 48 Hour in Eagle, Idaho. Expect big things, because I am! Thanks for reading!
Oh...as a side note, the Race Director says the Death Star doesn't reside in Monument Valley, but I know what I saw!!
Thanks again!

Apple helping me to choose Android
[ UPDATE: 6/11 – Here is a far better article detailing the mapping features Apple plans to roll out – H/T: @SumNums on Twitter]
Great timing, Apple. Just when I've decided to give up my car, along comes this news story. In short, Apple has tired of relying on Google's rather lame mapping app for the iPhone and has chosen to go it alone. Here's what concerns me:
Maps itself will not feature information on public transit or alternative methods of transport like biking, as Google's app does now. Instead, Apple will release APIs for Maps and allow developers to build their own transit apps that will be featured, integrated, and promoted from within Maps.
Let me be blunt: I could not care less about turn-by-turn driving directions (Frankly, I don't trust them). Despite its relative lameness, I use Google Maps heavily on my iPhone for walking and transit directions. I *crave* biking directions and integrated real-time arrival times for public transportation. Those two items have been my motivation for looking at Android phones but, for now, I've been content to wait. If Apple pushes out a new mapping app without lining up quality developers to produce walking and transit directions at least as good as Google's, that will push me over the edge.
The generation currently entering the workforce and buying cell phones like candy is driving less and using public transportation and bikes more than my generation. Does Apple really want to risk losing them? I assume the answer is no and that Apple will get this all sorted out. That said, you know what happens when you assume, right?

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian stocks fell on Thursday following three days of gains, as banks and resource issues turned lower on weak global manufacturing data and fears that Europe's debt problems would persist.
Despite better-than-expected earnings from two of Canada's largest banks, financial stocks fell more than 1 percent after soft Asian and European manufacturing data renewed fears of a global economic slowdown.
Toronto-Dominion Bank dropped 2.2 percent to C$71.90 to lead the financial sector and the broader market lower. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce fell 1.3 percent to C$72. The shares of the two banks fell even though both reported that their quarterly profits rose more than 50 percent.
"Considering we had such a massive run-up in stocks yesterday, it is fairly comforting to see equity markets holding on to the bulk of the gains," said Elvis Picardo, strategist and vice president of research at Global Securities in Vancouver.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index closed down 90.82 points, or 0.74 percent, at 12,113.29.
On Wednesday, the index had its biggest single-day gain since March 2009, spiking more than 4 percent.
"You always run into some kind of profit-taking after three days (of gains) and especially the great day we had yesterday," said John Kinsey, portfolio manager at Caldwell Securities Ltd. "It will be interesting in a new month to see if this late-November rally continues."
After jumping nearly 6 percent the previous session, the heavily weighted materials sector fell 0.8 percent, hurt by declines in both gold and base metal miners.
Copper shed more than 1 percent, pressured by poor Chinese manufacturing data, while gold fell in light trade, snapping a three-day rally.
Barrick Gold fell 1 percent to C$53.49. First Quantum Minerals ended down 3.1 percent at C$19.96.
In other earnings news, shares of clothing maker Gildan Activewear Inc plunged more than 32 percent after it said fourth-quarter profit fell and forecast a first-quarter loss on higher inventories and discounts.
Lululemon Athletica Inc' s shares dropped nearly 6 after the retailer announced its quarterly profit rose but sales of its signature yoga wear missed analyst expectations.

NJ cops accused of profiling one town's drivers
Police profiling of Paterson motorists was the subject of many City Council meetings in the early 2000s
By John Petrick
North Jersey Media Group
PATERSON, NJ — Bordering suburban police unfairly targeting Paterson-bound drivers for various violations was called a "pervasive problem" by Paterson Councilman-at-large Ken Morris on Wednesday in the trial of Councilwoman Vera Ames-Garnes, charged with wrongly interfering when a Prospect Park police officer stopped a motorist in her city.
"Residents felt they had been unfairly targeted by neighboring towns," Morris testified before Hawthorne Municipal Judge John Meola. "My constituents have approached me personally about this issue and all nine council members," he said.

Renting is more than just a monthly payment. Here are a few things to consider before you sign on the dotted line.
The Lease:
- Make sure you understand your lease. Be sure to know exactly what you are and are not responsible for.
- If you think you might have to move before your lease is up, make sure you know the terms or costs related to breaking your lease.
- Make sure to ask about any additional fees for pets, parking, use of fitness center, etc.
Moving In:
- Document any damage to the apartment before you move in so you are not charged.
- Check and make sure you are able to personalize your apartment with new paint or curtains.
- If something doesn't work properly (i.e. electrical or plumbing), what promises does your landlord have for getting them promptly fixed.
Questions To Ask:
- Who is responsible for cutting the grass and snow removal?
- If your rental is damaged by a storm or fire, are you responsible for the damage repair?
- Are you fully protected? Landlords typically only have insurance on their property – not yours. Renters insurance is an affordable way to protect the important items in your life.

"The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality."
stagnant (ˈstæɡnənt) adj
1 (of water, etc) standing still; without flow or current
2 brackish and foul from standing still
3 stale, sluggish, or dull from inaction
4 not growing or developing; static
—Synonyms dormant, lifeless, dead, inert, lazy.
There is a common ideal that threads throughout the television shows and movies that my peers and myself consume. We seem to enjoy a dialogue of enlightenment. A waking up of oneself- to WHAT seems irrelevant. I'm talking 'The Beach', 'Fight Club', 'Alice in (fucking) Wonderland' and 'The Secret'- I'm talking self discovery, self destruction. I'm talking "self improvement is masturbation- now, self destruction…" Have you ever read Fight Club? That shit echoes perfectly the bored fury of the generation I had the dubious honour of being born to- milling, static in their obsession that they SHOULD be impassioned, but really couldn't get up enough energy to.

Staying busy has been advocated for keeping teenagers out of trouble, but some teens say they are simply too stretched.
The hectic schedules that have captured so many of their lives can be harmful, according to Brandi Clark, 14, an eighth-grader at Langley-Bath- Clearwater Middle School.
"It totally depends on the person," she says. "Everyone's different about how much they can take. You have to know your own limits."
As a member of the soccer team, karaoke club, band and student council, she understands juggling extracurricular activities, homework and chores.
For Steven Bell, a 17-year-old Midland Valley High School sophomore, having a job at a Food Lion adds even more on his already-crowded plate.
During an average week, he works 18 to 24 hours over five days. He also is in clubs at school, including Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Beta Club, and he is highly involved in his church.
"Some of the requirements for extracurricular activities are way too strict, and the qualifications are over the top," he says.
He concedes that his job can be a stressful part of his life, but he believes that having a job can be good if you don't overdo.
"I overexert myself quite often, though," he said.
With all of the activities that teens are packing on themselves, one must ask, "What is the point?" It seems that the jury is still out among the teens.
"It's really hard to tell what is going to be a good investment in your future," Brandi says.
Tyler Reeves, 15, a home-schooled sophomore, is in advanced math work, but he also balances involvement in a home-school drama club and in his church choir.
"My major goal for this time in my life is to make a good life for myself and the people I love, and to please God with everything I do," he said. "My busyness isn't hurting it, but it's not exactly helping it, either."
Rebekah Bryant is a freshman in home school.

Romynal Spelling Variations
Romynal Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Romynal are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Romynal include Rumney, Rumnie, Romney, Romny, Romenel, Rumenel, Romnay and many more.

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Romynal, or a variant listed above: Thomas Romney who settled in Virginia in 1635; John Romney settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1767; George Rumney settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1766.

Unanswered: Number Conversion
I am using Access 2002.
I have a number, 35.1519519, that I want to convert to degrees, minutes, and seconds. I know how to do this manually, but I wonder if there is a formula or a simple VBA script that will do it for me. I have a table that the number is in, and I will create the necessary fields in the table for deg, min, sec. Then I would use the formula in a form to divide the number into the necessary parts (I think).
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks for your help

but you need to write your own function, there may be one available on the web...
public function FormatPosition(sngPosition as single) as string
dim Degrees as integer
dim minutes as integer
dim Seconds as integer
degrees = int(sngposition)
minutes = int(sngposition*60)
formatposition = degrees & "º" & minutes & "'" & Seconds & "''"
exit function
thats not tested so I don't know if it will work
put the function into a module so it will be avaialble to any/all forms / reports etc.
you could extend the function by allowing a different format style
say ddd.dddddd, dddmm.mmmmm, ddd mm.mmmmmm, dd mm ss, or ddºmm'ss''
you coudl also allow the submission of different styles
I have a series of classes that were written for .NET dealing with navigational functions, which allows for this style of handling. The aim being to write a generalised class so it doesn't have to be revisited if there is a new input or output style

Obviously it's been an eventful week, and there's been a few changes elsewhere in the Championship recently.
We came in on Monday morning to find out that Warren had left the club, and it's something that happens in football.
We've already had it once before this season of course, and we just have to regroup and go again for the weekend.
I don't think anything is a shock to you any more in football.
I think if you look at how many have left their posts this season shows you that.
Obviously our position in the league isn't great, and there's always the possibility that can happen.
We know the fans were disappointed with the way things went on Saturday, they vented their anger at the end, and it's one of those things in football.
As players we have to take our portion of the blame, and it is disappointing to be part of something where somebody loses their job.
Obviously things move on, and Graham's in charge for the rest of the season.
His commitment to the club is unquestionable, I respect him a lot as a guy.
His knowledge of football is second to none, he has maximum respect from everyone in the building - the staff, the players, everyone connected to the club - and he's the right man to step into the position and hopefully guide us to safety.
He's someone who knows the club inside out, who knows what it will take to get us out of the position we're in.
He's been there before with Roberto Martinez a few years ago, when the situation of staying in the Premier League looked completely gone, but they miraculously managed to keep the side up, beating some top teams along the way.
I'm sure he'll be looking back at that for inspiration, and hopefully he can do the same for us, and inspire the lads to create something special here.
There's always been a belief in the dressing room that we can get out of it.
It's just that there's possibly that fear factor, that when you do lose, and teams around you inevitably pick up points.
As Graham's said before, you've got to take the shackles off, go for it, and play with no fear as much as you can.
That's what we're going to do.
There's going to be people in the dressing room who are disappointed at the outcome with the previous manager.
There's also going to be players thinking there's maybe a chance now for them to play some football.
That's naturally the case within any dressing room when any manager leaves a club.
Now it's up to players to either force their way into the team and try to create something for themselves, or stay in there and help create something special.
It's about getting that togetherness, and coming together as a team, and getting out of this mess.
The good thing for Graham is he has a staff around him that he already knows.
There's a few who were here under Gary and even Uwe, so he'll have a lot of trust in that staff to get over the messages that he wants.
It's also up to the senior players to try and nudge it in the right direction, and lend a hand where we can.
The fans have got a massive role to play in the run-in.
They've vented their anger in the last few games, and rightly so.
The results, apart from Birmingham, simply haven't been good enough.
The Blackburn and Bristol City games in particular were very disappointing in terms of the way we played, and the way we set up.
Those results were hard to take, but hopefully the fans will be right behind us for the last nine games.
We need them now more than ever – the less negativity around the place from everyone the better.
It really does relay its way down to the pitch.,
As much as fans don't think that's the case, it does, and we need them behind us.
We've been in a position several times already this season where we've said we need a big performance, and a special atmosphere.
The only people that can create that atmosphere is us, the players, and get people off the edge of their seats in excitement, wanting to cheer the lads on.
Aston Villa will bring a lot of fans up, we expect that, they're a very big team with a lot of top players.
But they have shown this year they are beatable.
We have them a tough game at their place without really going after them.
We've just got to be positive from the off, and see where that takes us.

Millions of people are now Facebook account. You may even be one of these people. Here are some tips for marketing your business by using Facebook.
Contests are a fantastic way to market and get new followers on Facebook. Offer up discounts and prizes in return for having your customers like your page. Always actually send the prize though; you don't want to be viewed as dishonest.
A simple way to interact with your subscribers is to respond to their comments on your wall. This should include monitoring the wall for questions or comments as well as @ messages concerning your company. It is especially important to respond quickly to anyone who needs help or posts a complaint is brought to light.
Try using Facebook ads in your business. Posting to your page will only goes so far. To really maximize your marketing efforts, you should try purchasing Facebook ads. They are inexpensive and they can have a big impact.
The first step to success with Facebook marketing is having a solid fan base. When you reach that goal, conversion rates skyrocket.
Offer something that is unique when someone "Likes" your page. Likes can make your page. Think about offering something that is free and exclusive when someone likes your page. It is something that you can give to everyone gets or offer a sweepstakes. People are more likely to respond to your requests if the offer is for an appealing item they would like.
One way to make visitors turn into followers is by hiding some content from visitors. If any of your content is hidden, you can motivate more visitors to convert to followers.
Be sure folks are able to "share" content via your Facebook page. Facebook is all about sharing and interacting with others. When you work hard to give valuable resources to your audience, your fans will spread the word and it will all be worthwhile.
Make sure you have a personality for your posts. If you make a bunch of posts that aren't interesting them people will thing your brand. Show off a bit, but make sure that you do this while remaining professional at all times.
Always know the reason why you have a Facebook page. Don't have a page just for the sake of having one. Do you use your customers? Or do you have one so that your customers are able to contact you?
Try your best to respond to all of the communications you get. This means both in your inbox and those you see on your page. This takes some extra effort and hard work, but the followers you have are going to enjoy this quite a bit.
Encourage your followers to interact with you and other fans. Deleting the post because it goes off-topic will offend people. The only time you should ever get involved is when the thread is becoming offensive or racist.
Your website and Facebook page should mimic one another. It helps give personality to your page to your brand. If it is different, this may cause your loyal customers to be confused.
Do not use the Facebook updates too often.This lets you send out messages to everyone that follows you. You should only use this feature for important events and news. This isn't something that can be used for simple promotions but as a continuous basis.
Ask your visitors to share your content with their friends. Offer a discount to everyone who shares an update with friends.You can promise to provide coupon codes with everyone once a given number of subscribers.
Do you have your own store? Make sure it's linked to the check-in functions that Facebook offers. Let fans update their own Facebook statuses by checking into the store.This option will spread the word about your store by informing friends of your fans since they'll see when their friends check in.
You can promote sales while increasing your fan base. You can use this platform to offer of coupons to new friends or promotions to those who have been with you for a long time. If you stop at offering new friends the promotions, they may quickly start losing interest.
Add a photograph to each of your Facebook posts whenever possible. People love pictures and they read.Take photos of staff members, employees and others to reinforce your message in updates.
It will take time for a successful Facebook campaign to develop and relate to increased sales. You will be rewarded for your efforts after some time has passed.
Don't post all your information on a single day and then stop for a week. You want to space out content to be more helpful.
You can separate your sales messages from your other content by using tabs.People like to buy things without feeling pressured to do so. If you have the sales page within reach, you can advertise what is going on with your products without forcing it at your followers.
Don't send messages to the audience base daily that are obvious ploys to make sales. While you may have started your page to make more profits, people don't like to be pressured into making purchases. If you seem like you are begging for sales, they may think your products are of dubious quality.
Remind all of your fans that you really do love them. You should also reward loyalty with free giveaways like coupons for free products.
Google Alerts is a perfect way to come up with fresh and exciting ideas for your page. This feature gives you to see a lot of content in your desired field. You will be able to share the most relevant links on the Wall of your Facebook followers.
Don't subscribe to the pages of your competitor's Facebook updates.Select pages that make your brand image. When you share their update with your audience, make sure the updates reflects the business image you want to present to others.
Reading this article should provide some great information about how to take advantage of Facebook marketing. By using these tips, you will see how easy Facebook marketing is and how helpful it can be. Start today; you'll be surprised at the success!

Airlines that fly to Toronto
Toronto Airport
Flights from the UK to Toronto will disembark at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The airport is situated west of the city and is Canada's busiest, serving around 32 million passengers a year. The airport was renamed in 1984 after Lester Pearson, a former Canadian Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
Still a young city by international standards, Toronto is already a highly appealing tourist destination. With jazz festivals in summer, hockey in winter and shopping all year round, it isn't surprising that so many tourists flock to Toronto. While it's very much a modern city, what Toronto lacks in historic sites it more than makes up for in modern experiences. See the city from its prized vantage point at the CN Tower, climb the sculptural staircase at the Gallery of Ontario or wander the Gothic Revival style house of Casa Loma Castle.
In addition to the landmarks, Toronto is a city active with events. From sold-out hockey games to symphony concerts and a rotating calendar of festivals, the city rarely witnesses a dull moment. Of all of the events, the Toronto International Film Festival is the most famous. Taking place in September, the festival is usually attended by over 250,000 people and screens over 300 films from 59 countries.
Toronto is no stranger to multiculturalism either. Take a look at the cuisine on offer and you'll realise just how diverse this city is. From Chinatown to Little Italy, Greektown and burrows home to Portuguese and Jamaican communities, it's more than possible to eat your way around the world in Toronto, and the locals often do.
While the city is a hive for activity, there are other parts of Toronto that offer solace from the colourful streets. Take a leaf out of a local's book and take a break at the beach, wander the waterfront or browse the Ontario countryside which is littered with spas and sunny spots.
Looking for more than just a flight? A Toronto holiday package includes flights, accommodation, and often other extras like tours or car hire. For more information on Toronto holidays check out our Toronto travel guide.

With no other option than use the gear in my hands, I raised my underwater rig to my eye, framed as best i could and hit the shutter.

New layout it the biggest reorganisation in underground rail services in the capital since the Metro opened in 1976.
The final few hundred metres of track on the underground rail line that encircles Central Brussels came into service shortly before 6am on Saturday. The completion of the missing link between Delacroix Station in Anderlecht and the West Station in Molenbeek has brought with it the biggest reorganisation in underground rail services in the capital since the Metro opened in 1976.
Until now, the Brussels Metro network consisted of three lines.
From now on, the Metro will boast no fewer than six lines, although two of these are in fact underground tram services.
Brussels South to Brussels Expo in 11 minutes
Two services will use the circle line for all or part of their route.
Line 2 two goes full circle, starting at Simonis – Elisabeth (the lower floor of the station) and terminating at Simonis – Leopold III (the upper floor).
Meanwhile, line 6 route runs from the King Boudewijn Station (close to Brussels Expo) to Simonis-Elisabeth.
The new line will make it possible to travel from the Thalys and Eurostar terminus at Brussels South Railway Station to the King Boudewijn Stadium and Brussels Expo in just 11 minutes.
Line 1 changes
The changes will also affect passengers using what used to be line 1A and line1B.
The former line 1B has become line 1.
It has been shortened and now runs from Stokkel Station in Sint-Pieters Woluwe to the West Station in Molenbeek.
Passengers wishing to travel on to Anderlecht or to the northwest of the city will be able to change trains on the same platform at Beekkant.
The route of line 1A has been modified. The line now runs from Hermann Debroux Station in Oudergem to Erasmus Station in Anderlecht.
Lines 3 and 4 are in fact two tram lines that run underground for part of their route.
Free travel
Despite an extensive, multi-lingual campaign advertising the changes, the Brussels public travel company MIVB expects some travellers to be a little confused over the next few days.
Consequently, the MIVB offered free Metro travel on Saturday to allow passengers to become familiar with the new routes.

Virginie Timmerman
What do citizens think the future challenges of the EU are?
This synthesis by Virginie Timmerman is based on the group discussions organised in 18 countries of the European Union, in the framework of the project "Horizon EU: European citizenship, a horizontal development" which collected citizens' opinion on the future challenges of the EU.
Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute, supported by the OPTEM network, organised the first stage of the project "Horizon EU". It aimed at allowing 157 European citizens to debate about their vision of the EU and their access to the European institutions.
Three issues were addressed in this synthesis:
1. The future challenges of the EU, spontaneous reactions
2. What will the future European policies be for citizens?
3. What direction should the European project take for the citizens?
Interviews of some the European citizens participating in the "Horizon EU" project are available on our YouTube channel.
