The thing with Messi is, he's not an entertainer, he's an athlete, he wants to continually be the best and focuses on that
The thing with Messi is, he's not an entertainer, he's an athlete, he wants to continually be the best and focuses on that.Ronaldinho knew how good he was, and focused on entertaining the crowd IMO. It's why I think Ronaldinho in his prime was more exciting.
Do you think Messi is the greatest ever?
People say that coz their memories of Messi are still fresh.
No, they say it because they believe it to be true.I could just as well say you think Zidane was better just because you've forgotten that he had many ups and down, struggled with consistency at Juve especially, and that you ignore that he also had brilliant players like Davids, Del Piero, Figo, and Ronaldo around him. Not to mention France incredible defence - Thuram, Desailly, Blanc and Lizarazu - shielded by the likes of Vieira, Petit and Deschamps. But I'd be wrong about that, wouldn't I? You just believe him to be better than Messi. Which is fair enough, even if I disagree.At 24, Messi has achieved more at club level than Zidane ever did throughout his career. I'd wait a bit before claiming he can't adapt to another environment but the one at Barcelona. At the same age Zidane hadn't won a thing and was still playing in France if I'm not mistaken. Messi has plenty of time to step up at international level, if that is even necessary.
The argument against him that he's in the best team in the world (arguably the best ever) is an interesting one: It could easily be argued that its to his credit that he's the most important player and absolute focal point of the greatest team in history. For the record, he's scored or assisted a very similar percentage of their goals as Van Persie at Arsenal this season, a team routinely mocked for being a one man affair.
Not saying my ex girlfriend was a slag but even the label in her knickers said next.
Way off the mark for me, of course he's an entertainer, he doesn't go out of his way to be, it just comes naturally to him. I think your description would be far more apt for Ronaldo to be honest. He's much more of an athlete than Messi.
if some of you even doubt messi's talent cos he plays for the best team and all that, stand up, open your front door, walk outside and shoot yourself in the head.
To be honest, I think that's what J's saying. He's not saying Messi is an athlete, just that he strives to be the best and most professional he can be on the pitch. Of course he's entertaining, he's too damn good not to be, but the difference is Ronaldinho set out to entertain. Messi sets out to be the best he can be, which is entertaining in itself.
Exactly that mate.
you should still shoot yourself in the head, for other reasons.
Can't do that when your birds expecting my kid mate.
ooh sailor....back on topic, has ronaldo scored more this season?
58, jesus christ
should easily get 70, can i get odds for that?
It actually makes no sense, doesn't it? When Messi picks the ball up, ghosts past 2 or 3 players and then plays an inch perfect through ball, what does his team have to do with that?The fact is, Messi is usually marked by 2 or 3 players every game, freeing up huge amounts of space for the rest of the Barca team. Barca need him.
People say that coz their memories of Messi are still fresh. But the answer imho is a big NO.Messi excels in this Barca team but wonder how he'd do if he wasn't surrounded by world class players, particularly by Iniesta, Xavi and even Fabregas? His appearences for Argentina show us he's not as 'invincible' as most seem to make out he is.For me, the 2 greatest to ever play the game are Zidane and Ronaldo (the Brazilian one). And yeah, even Ronaldinho at his best was better than Messi is now.
I think Pep will rest him in a couple of league games, wouldn't be so sure.
Rafa tried to buy everyone. In fact, Rafa spotted Messi as a dollop of sperm but couldn't get the money from H+G.
When Messi fucks off to Napoli and carries them to a couple of league titles & wins a world cup pretty much by himself I'll consider him the best of all time.. Until then I think Diego stills tops it.Messi to play the lead role in the new Dark Crystal real life action movie, you read that here first.
Says you. Why don't you open you mind and stop licking Messi's arse for a minute. We all agree he's the best player in the world, that doesn't mean he's more exciting to watch than anyone who's ever played the game.
When Messi fucks off to Napoli and carries them to a couple of league titles & wins a world cup pretty much by himself I'll consider him the best of all time..
Ronaldinho, as good as he was, was never 'Messi good'. And Zidane, well forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but Zidane wasn't even better than Del Piero in that Juve team.
Reminded me of this.
Zidane! he was the greatest player that has been for 1. ball control and 2. vision
Stage 1. Denial.
Rodgers has massive balls and he's just rubbed them all over everyones faces. Enjoy the sweat of a brave man.
I think both of those belong to Maradona. Don't think Zidane had anything over him actually, except a better weaker foot.

How much does SEDA-PDF cost?
SEDA-PDF Fees
For new registrations from 2011 and for existing programmes from 2012, the fee structure has been updated. The main purpose has been to simplify the structure by separating the initial registration fee from the annual fee, and including the cost of the five-year review in the annual fee. In addition, invoicing has been simplified to be annual in January for the coming year.
This restructuring is based on keeping the long term cost of PDF recognition the same as before, while smoothing out the costs year on year. In addition because of rising administration costs, a small increase has then been added (about £50 annually for SEDA institutional members and about £100 for non-members). This is the first increase in PDF fees for many years and SEDA-PDF remains excellent value, being based partly on educational developers volunteering their time. All mentors, recognisers and reviewers are trained, and retrained every two years to ensure a professional service to institutions.
Initial programme registration/recognition
Providing recognition for an institution and one programme under a specific named SEDA award.
For institutional members of SEDA £1150
For non-members £1600
The basic fees cover a visit by two recognisers and mentoring support. It does not cover the annual fee following recognition (see below). The travel and other expenses of recogniser(s) in the recognition visit are met by the institution. (Overseas institutions should discuss the need for a visit with the PDF Committee chair, so that costs can be minimised.)
Subsequent programmes
Providing recognition for additional programmes run by recognised institutions.
For institutional members of SEDA £300
For non-members £400
This covers a recognition event that may be held centrally or in the institution. We strongly advise having a mentor in completing the recognition forms, who we will provide for a charge of
£300 to cover the costs. If you are unsure whether you need a mentor, please discuss this with the PDF Committee chair, whose decision is final.
These fees do not cover annual fees following recognition (see below).
Annual fees
This covers continuing institutional and programme recognition and includes the cost of a review every fifth year. A review normally takes the form of an institutional visit by one reviewer. Fees are payable each January following initial recognition.
If recognition occurs part way through the year, upon recognition, institutions will receive an invoice for a partial annual fee to cover the remainder of the current year: for recognitions approved at the February PDF committee, an annual fee is paid for that year; for recognitions approved at the June committee, half an annual fee is paid for that year; for recognitions approved at the November committee, no fee is paid for that year.
Annual fees for institutional members of SEDA
One programme £448
Two programmes £802
Three programmes £1122
Four or more programmes £1398
Annual fees for non-members
One programme £601
Two programmes £1025
Three programmes £1405
Four or more programmes £1741
Institutional membership of SEDA is £1045 annually.
Any travel/accommodation expenses incurred by the mentors, recognisers or reviewers must be covered by the institution; by arrangement.
Discretionary Arrangements
a) Small institutions/organisations may apply for a reduction of 20% in the applicable charges. Criteria might include staff/student numbers, financial turnover etc. Claims will be considered by the PDF Committee Chair in consultation with relevant SEDA officers. Their decision will be final. Only one 20% discount per institution is allowable.
b) Overseas applications will be dealt with so far as is possible in accordance with the standard fee structure. However, there may be occasions when it would be appropriate to vary process and/or fees. Such cases will be subject to individual negotiation and agreement between SEDA and the institution/organisation concerned.

Yeah, I think you're right to skip part II. I was so dissappointed that I'm not in the mood for part III. However, if it's broadcasted on the local channel, I'll give Chen Bao Guo a look. I also like Zhou Jie more than Lu Yi although I'm not a fan of both. I think ZJ's acting as Bao Zheng is more suitable, more funny. I don't remember if there's anyone replacing Pang Tai Shi, maybe I'll check it out. Anyway it's not worth watching.Originally Posted by Lady Zhuge

Now that I think about it, did you every play 2nd base at your size Joe? That answers your own damn question.
I hate everything - All UM sports, Lions, Pistons, Tigers (yes Juicy)
I still laugh when I see that avatar btw.
I hate everything - All UM sports, Lions, Pistons, Tigers (yes Juicy)
After one day, the Tigers survived it just fine, which will mean nothing come April. The metrics will show that Fielder is no Cabrera at first, that Cabrera is no Inge at third, and that Inge isn't much of a hitter, no matter where he plays.Then Inge, who'd mow the lawn if it meant getting on the field, made a diving catch to end the second inning and a rangy stop and flip to end the fourth.
I know those two are not good fielders but unless something huge happens to them at the plate (in a bad way of course) then the offense those two provide will more than make up for the few balls that get into the outfield that may not have last year
nice little recap from Jason Beck, hope he does this after every ST game...
http://beck.mlblogs.com/2012/03/03/g...ot-just-homer/What we learned: Brandon Inge can pick it at second base.
What to remember from Game 1: That lingering doubt that Inge could make the shift from third base to second at age 34 with more bulk than before (and I admit, I had it coming in) is hurting right now. On Friday, Jim Leyland said that from everything he's seen, Inge will play second base fine. On Saturday, Inge went out and made two outstanding plays up the middle — one a diving catch, the other a nice scoop and shovel flip behind second base. Whether Inge makes it now rides on whether he hits; his fielding is no question.
Hey, it's only spring training: The Tigers took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, which sounds great until you consider how many pitchers combined to do it. When the Marlins no-hit the Tigers on March 23, 2009 at Joker Marchant Stadium, Ricky Nolasco flat-out dominated them for seven innings, though the Tigers lineup still hadn't gotten back Miguel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen from the World Baseball Classic at that point.
How much suspense was there about Saturday's no-hit bid? Not enough to keep most of the starters around to battle Disney traffic once they were out of the game.
The highlight play you may have missed: Clete Thomas wants back on the Tigers roster, and the Tigers still think highly of him. His acrobatic catch while flipping over the bullpen fence in the first inning, and his running catch into foul territory in left field later, were good signs for somebody less than two years separated from microfracture surgery on his knee.
Non-game note of the day: The Tigers sold more than 66,000 tickets on Saturday, the first day single-game tickets went on sale. Online sales accounted for a good amount of them, but there were more than a thousand fans waiting in line on a snowy, windy Saturday morning for their first big reason to look ahead to spring.

July 31, 2011 Text Marketing Comes of Age [DMA11]
Everyone has seen them at restaurants and family gatherings - teenagers and now even adults who are capable of sending and receiving hundreds of text messages a day. Some people have come to think of texting as an idle distraction, but smart integrated marketers are now beginning to look at the revenue-generating potential of text message marketing.
They're learning how to engage potential customers with targeted messages delivered at precisely the right moment. And they're reaping the benefits of unmatched reach to a medium that consumers always have with them, high read rates that are almost instantaneous, and redemption rates as high as 20% - all at unbelievably low acquisition costs. With results as strong as these, it's easy to see why mobile marketing is receiving so much attention.
As today's teens grow into tomorrow's consumers, text marketing will become an even more important ingredient in your integrated marketing strategy. Over 10,000 attendees will be in Boston from October 1-6 for the DMA2011 Conference and Exhibition. They'll attend marketing workshops, a master class and ask-the-experts roundtables to learn about the latest strategies in text message marketing. They might even send the boss a text about ideas that can help their company make more money!

What's more interesting than talking about destiny? I'm going on the vein of the fear of the desappearance of humanity. Between funny and melancholy, my current paintings show toys arranged as ruins of run-about in a modern dictatorship. The self-centred story with toys painted in a "traditional" technic (oil, trompe-l'oeil, etc...)could be nice without the background of the history of our century and the contemporary melancholy.

Never before seen evidence in the case surrounding the death of trade on -- down in Florida has now gone public self.
How will this affect the case here to break it all down Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson junior -- it was tonight.
So we see couple new pieces of evidence that it says surveillance video of trade on Martin the teenager.
Who is in a 7-Eleven buying Skittles right as a mails before this attack happened.
And now we're seeing more injuries and information about -- -- Cynthia you -- this is very interesting and very revealing we now know that -- -- Martin had Trace amounts of TH C.
Which is the active ingredient in Canada's marijuana in his system.
We also know that there's a witness statement that says that trade on Maarten.
Was on top.
Of George Zimmerman.
And punching him repeatedly.
In quote mixed martial arts style.
-- -- We also know that the gunshot wound occurred between one and eighteen inches away from the victim trade on -- By mr.
Zimmerman and finally we know that there were calls for help apparently fourteen times.
By George Zimmerman that was overheard on the 9/11 call.
By a passer by that was calling about.
The incident so.
That combined with the fact that we now know mr.
-- had a fractured nose abrasions on his forehead -- one inch laceration on the back of his head.
The two black guys.
And other bruises it paints a different picture.
In terms of self defense.
Perhaps who was the aggressor who was winning the fight at the time the fatal shot.

Since we bought our first house over 10 years, our family has been following that tradition and putting up a static light display for Christmas. Last year, in January, we decided to step it up and add music and animation to our display. So, we went from about 2,000 lights to 18,000 lights and added computer control and audio to our display on our home just a mile north of Center Point, Iowa. It's been a big time investment to set it all up and prepare the computer animation, but the smiles we've seen on our visitors' faces have made all the sore muscles and late nights worth it. Our show runs from 5:30 - 10:00 Sun - Thu and 5:30 - 11:00 Fri and Sat. For more information, check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/bluecreekchristmas

About Actual News Geezer
I was the first ever Actual News Guy at Nowpublic.com. The youngsters on the editorial team called me chief, pops, and sometimes I even heard Actual News Geezer.That's because I am very, very old - and started my career as a TV reporter back in the Pleistocene Era when we shot on this stuff called "film." Other oldsters will remember newscasters saying, "Film at 11." That was my stuff.I got to travel around, saw some big stuff happening - like the fall of communism in Moscow - and interviewed people like Ronald Reagan, Boris Yeltsin, and Mikhail Gorbachev. I shouted a question at George Bush and was shouted at by a famous Canadian prime minister.But that's all over now. I'm the Actual News Geezer.

Description of Club de Golf Municipal Llanes, Llanes
With a double 'L' in its name, mountains on one side and the sea on the other, you could almost be forgiven for thinking you're in Wales.

This course cannot be played on Sat, Sun, Spanish Bank Holidays, at Easter and from 20/7-29/8.
Our opinion: A 'must play' when in the area - the additional 9 holes designed by Manuel Pinero are superb. Favourite Hole: 4th.

The Rapha Gentlemen's Race Singapore 2013
Words and photos by Christopher Chen
A mix of street lamps and flashing bike lights illuminated the car park of Macritchie Reservior against the backdrop of the still dark sky. There, as if part of some Lycra flashmob, 108 riders congregated at the start of the Rapha Gentlemen's Race Singapore 2013.
Joggers skipped by in disbelief at the sheer mass of bikes and bodies. The distinct whirring of a generator gave power to a pop-up espresso stall, while riders queued across the car park for a pre-ride caffeine boost. Gorgeous bicycles included aerospace carbon speedsters and old-faithful steel numbers.
Running for the second year, the route took riders on a 170km course in a classic team time-trial format, setting off in teams of four across the varied terrain of Singapore.
Just barely warmed up, they were soon confronted by Vigilante Hill – a short and very steep climb reaching 20% in some spots. I stood there with my camera flashing, while the brave few assaulted the hill with grunting turns of the crank. Some underestimated the steepness and had to get off and push. That was only the beginning.
The route pressed on, passing the skyscrapers of Singapore's financial district, headwind-filled coastal and industrial zones, seemingly endless rolling stretches of tarmac, and even a nice stretch of red mud and gravel.
It was a good 3km trek on foot from the main road to the gravel. Laden down by my heavy camera gear, I made haste, wanting to catch the teams as they went through the 'red lands'. When in position, I could hear the kicking up of sand and stone against the bike frames of riders zooming past. Some wore expressions of fatigue, others hammed it up for the camera.
I knew exactly how the riders felt: I had ridden the route earlier as part of a recce to pick good photography spots. On that day the 38C heat was unrelenting and I found myself barely capable of riding the last 50km. Legs and arms shaking, I sucked on the rear wheel of the rider in front, while receiving the occasional push on my saddle from a kind soul behind me. I could only imagine what it was like for the riders on the day, riding as hard as they could.
I made my way back to the finishing line and stood in shock as the first team, Team Direct Asia, rolled in within 5 hours (4hrs 56 mins to be precise).
Twenty out of the 28 teams completed the race inside the cut-off time. A light rain showered down on the last 7kms for the teams on the way back, a well deserved cool-off after a day of searing heat. Once unclipped the teams were treated to refreshing Thai coconut water and ice-cold beers.
I weaved among them, snapping portraits and scenes of exhaustion. The atmosphere was filled with chatter, reminiscing about the 170km journey. I observed the laughs and words of encouragement between friends, a stark contrast to the cramps and sore legs, punctures and mechanical failures. Whether good or bad, they would never forget them. The suffering may linger for the next couple of days, but the stories and memories (and hopefully the photographs) will live on.

Underwire Bras
Underwire bras have a built in wire into the underside of the cup of the bra, which is intended to life, separate, shape and provide additional support. Underwire bras are most useful to women with a fuller bust in order to minimize discomfort and maximize lift, but any woman can benefit from the support an underwire can bring. These bras come in all shapes and sizes and have been in widespread in use since the twentieth century. They are a staple of any woman's bra collection and easily available.

I love these bags! They hold so many different things! I keep a ton of my make up in it, and some jewelry. I get compliments on it all the time when I'm out.
I like organizing my stuff in these colorful bags .They also make great gift bags for small gifts or treats .super cute and super useful little bags.I love them!
I love the bag. The only problem I had was that over time the bag became extremely worn and crumpled from being in my purse. Otherwise, easy to clean in case of a make-up mess!
Wanted to love this since I am so unorganized ! They actually broke immediately . Not sure it's worth it if its not sturdy .
I used this for toiletries when I took a short trip to LA. I also used it at the beach this summer for my smart phone, don't need sand or water getting in!
I got this in my Birchbox just before a weekend trip. I used it to pack all of my manicure stuff, & that has been its purpose ever since. I was already a fan of the Tibi fashion line, & I love these convenient little bags for tossing into my luggage. So much cuter than a Zip-Loc!
I am constantly finding new reasons to use these. I even run them through the dishwasher! They are adorable and super useful, and I always get compliments. After a while of wear and tear, I have had the zipper clasp part break off but I definitely got my use out of them!
I'm so glad that I receive a sample of these bags in. My monthly sample box. I love them!! Take my advice and order them!
I LOVE THESE NO QUESTION ASK SO NOTICEABLE WILL NEVER MISS PLACE SOMETHING LOVE IT so strong of a bag also it last a long time
love that pattern! love the space to write on the bag! They are super cute. I'm a beach girl so, I use mine all the time when I go to the beach I put my phone in it. great for keeping the sand out.

Mars is a cold, forbidding world. Yet even by Martian standards, the landing site for the Phoenix mission is nippy -- the kind of place that makes the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field seem like a Jamaican beach by comparison.
Phoenix is scheduled to touch down on Sunday, north of Mars's Arctic Circle. Over the next three months, it'll dig a series of trenches in the ground and scoop up small amounts of soil. It'll dump the samples into a chemistry set that will search for water and organic chemicals -- the building blocks of life.
Scientists chose the northern plains for several reasons.
For one thing, spacecraft in orbit around Mars have found evidence of vast deposits of ice mixed with the soil there. Phoenix is designed to search for water and the chemistry of life, and the northern landing site offers the best chance to find them.
For another, the landing site is near the edge of the winter ice cap. It's summertime now, so the ice has pulled back, exposing soil that's been covered for months. This will help Phoenix learn more about the interplay among the ice caps, the soil, and the Martian atmosphere.
And finally, the lander will have abundant sunlight to keep it warm in the icy northern plains.
By the end of its 90-day mission, though, the Sun will set and bitter cold will return to the Martian plains -- freezing the lander and eventually encasing it in ice.
We'll have more about Phoenix tomorrow.

Illinois Surface Discharge Permit (ILG62)
Contact Information
Mark Ackerman
Comment Period
EPA accepted comments from the public on draft permit ILG62 until Nov. 15, 2012.
Wastewater from homes or businesses not connected to a municipal sewer system is generally treated by individual wastewater treatment systems. In most cases, that means a septic system. Nearly one in four households in the United States uses an individual septic system to treat wastewater.
What comes out of the septic system is called discharge and usually goes into the ground around the system, but may also be released onto the ground surface and potentially into nearby bodies of water. The Clean Water Act and Illinois Environmental Protection Act require permits for septic systems that discharge into federally protected waters.
EPA's General Permit
EPA has prepared a draft NPDES general permit for new and replacement septic systems that discharge to federally protected waters or conveyances to such waters. In order to be eligible for coverage under the general permit your new or replacement system must process only domestic sewage at a flow less than 1,500 gallons per day. Also a connection to a sanitary sewer must be more than 200 feet from your property. For a permit at a residence, you must show that alternatives to surface discharging systems are technologically or economically infeasible. For a permit at a business, alternatives must be technically infeasible.

Kennebunkport it slowly becoming green again! As I look out now, staring actually at the Captain Jefferds Inn I can finally see the vibrancy coming back from the dull colors of winter. The Inn's tulips are blooming in the corner garden and my father has been busy planting in the flower beds and painting our new white fence. Captain Jefferds has been cleaned literally from the top to the bottom for our annual spring cleaning. Kennebunkport also seems to be tidying itself up, re-painting the streets, fixing sidewalks, and re-paving roads all in preparation for a soon to be great season in Maine!
Another new restaurant in lower village Kennebunk has opened, right over the bridge next to HB provisions; Ryan's Pub is the new local hot spot. The owner is kind, with a true Irish accent, and the beer was cold and delicious. I tried Smithwicks for the first time and I can't wait to go back for another pint! Dianna went with a friend and said the crab cakes were delicious! I'm eager to go back, but I just bought a new "Kate" car so I think my eating out days are numbered!
The Schooner Eleanor is back, docked at the Arundle Wharf Restaurant per usual and I can't wait to start working. It will be my 6th year working there and the scenery never gets old. I recommend experiencing the Maine coast on this beautiful green-hulled boat for a two-hour sail. I get so excited when I see it back in the water!

Cleft hoof toes glided over soft moss, blacken from human corruption and influence, as the strong muscles worked their way over to a glistening pond. The Creature stopped, his form illuminated by the light that made it past the few cripple trees: his body was a human man, thin and strong, but his toes and fingers were hoofed like a deers while antlers adorned his curly brown hair. Deer ears flickered at the sounds of the forest, unnatural and weak. His beloved home stood on the brink of extinction but here he would remain. Here he was needed.
Without blinking, his body shimmered like a water reflection disturbed by pebbles while a white Stag took his place. The muscles twitched, live energy shot into his living tissue making effortless bounds into the forest greenery. Air whistle past his flanks and his nose drank in the paths flight. He was searching, his eyes black and darting at the sides, for any trespassers in to his forest.
Spindle legs planted themselves into the ground, drawing up the remaining black soil encouraging life to begin again. This was his life, his purpose as he needed no other. Every movement felt natural, almost too good to stop with just a single bound around his territory. Despite the green lush surroundings, there was nothing to be heard about the Stag. Most song birds had fled, leaving the trees lonely and empty of their lovely melodies. The small and meek animals that once littered the forest left nothing more than tracks where they once treaded. Now only a Great Bear- an old Grizzle- with a foul temper matching his awesome size claimed this land as his home.
The proud animal halted at the edge, the forest thinned and ended into a nearby village. A village of humans. Behind those black placid eyes, hatred bore at the pale beasts milling about their lives, ignorant of the harm they caused to his very life. If the forest was gone than his life was no longer required and he would vanish into nothing. The God snorted his hate once more before springing his loaded body back into the woods. Humans were nothing but trouble. The last thing he needed was one trampling their way into his land.

PlayStation 3 is 'largest TV-connected platform' for Netflix
Three years after Sony introduced Netflix for the PlayStation 3, the two companies jointly announced today that the gaming system stands as the most popular option for delivering the service to the living room.

Posted: Jan 22, 2013 1:25 PM by The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) - A judge has fined the owners of Fresh & Easy stores for charging more for items than the posted or advertised prices.
San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said Tuesday the judge ordered Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc. to pay $833,136.
Superior Court Judge Randa Trapp also ordered stores to offer consumers $3 off the lowest advertised price if they are overcharged. If the item is $3 or less, it will be free.
Prosecutors in San Diego and Riverside counties filed a civil complaint alleging the company posted advertised prices in stores and then charged more at the register.
Prosecutors also say meat and seafood were marked higher per pound than the shelf prices indicated.
The company says the mistake was unintentional and it has taken preventative measures.

THE people have spoken, but not loud enough to stop the construction of an addictions recovery centre in the District of North Vancouver.
In 45 days, opponents of the controversial project garnered signatures from just 176 electors, a far cry from the 6,045 names required to force a referendum on the issue.
On Dec. 12, district council voted to use its alternative approval process for the North Shore Support Recovery House, a two-storey nine-bed, women-only drug and alcohol addictions recovery centre proposed for the north end of Lloyd Avenue. Under the alternative process, 10 per cent of eligible voters in the district would have had to submit elector response forms by Jan. 28 in order to stop council from moving ahead with a bylaw allowing the project to break ground.
At Monday night's district council meeting, Coun. Mike Little said he received an email earlier in the day from someone who had not heard about the alternative approval process until after the submission deadline had passed.
District staff assured Little that notice of the alternative process followed the requirements of the Community Charter, and was advertised via newspaper, social media and the District Dialogue online newspage.
Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn noted that the response period had been extend by 15 days due to Christmas, giving people more opportunity to express their points of view.
"Also, those individuals that were very much against the project did have their own blog and their Facebook page . . . so the message did get out, both through our blog system and through those other interested parties," he said.
The bylaw that council is now free to adopt would remove the required portion of land from an original bylaw holding the land for park purposes. Rezoning would also be required to add the recovery home as a permitted use within the "community park" zoning on that site.
Council will not approve the bylaw until it can be adopted concurrently with the associated rezoning bylaw. It is anticipated both bylaws will be ready for adoption in early May. Next up in the process is a public information meeting, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 26. The issue will also be brought to the Edgemont Community Association AGM on March 21.
Coun. Alan Nixon said there will still be "ample opportunities for the public to make their views known to us."
If the project goes ahead, the district would lease a portion of land at 2670 Lloyd Ave. to Turning Point Recovery Society, a Vancouver non-profit group that would run the North Shore centre.
At previous council meetings, some residents had objected to handing public land over to a private interest. There was also concern over the potential loss of park land.
No residents stood up to speak for or against the project at Monday night's meeting.

As early as the World War I era, it was important to have an address close to Ward Parkway. |
Streetcar on Ward Parkway-Sunset Hill Line.
An almost forgotten service on Ward Parkway, the Sunset Hill line extended to the south edge of home construction. The route originated at the Westport interchange just west of Broadway on Westport Road. When established in 1909, Nichols and the Wards envisioned it as a primary means of transportation for all but the wealthiest lot owners who might have chauffeurs who would drive them to work in a carriage or an early motor car. After World War I, the Sunset Hill line reverted to stub service with an extra transfer because the primary riders were no longer homeowners, but day servants. Its service ended entirely in the 1920s when the east lane of Ward Parkway was paved to provide for increasing automobile traffic in the neighborhood. Servants arrived by motor bus after that time.

4.0 starson by kylebowen14Pros: Expandable SDHC card slot, easy to use, good size LCD view screen, compact, and cheap!

If you have any computer skills whatsoever, you will be able to quickly and easily upload your video to your computer for storage or editing. Bottom line, if you are on a budget and have a computer, you cannot go wrong with this camera!

Michelle Obama to Flint: "Let's Move!"
Flint is planning a major, new community wide effort to encourage fitness as it joins Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" anti-obesity campaign. Flint is the 500th local community to join the First Lady's youth fitness campaign which marks its first anniversary tomorrow.
Mrs. Obama welcomed Flint to her campaign during a conference call with local officials today.
"This is a generational problem. We have to keep driving this issue. We will do it here at the national level. But the real work happens on the ground where you are."
Flint is partnering with the Crim Fitness Foundation to get people to make personal fitness commitments. A kick-off is planned for April. Flint also plans to expand nutrition-related education programs in its schools.
