All over this country, from small towns to major cities, garage gym lifters are getting long stares and
quizzical looks from neighbors and passing children. The long winter is over and everyone is headed outside. Lifters are no exception.
I have one customer who swings his Persian Meels on his apartment rooftop in New York City and another doing snatches with a custom strongman dumbbell off the bayous of Louisiana. From Marquette, Michigan to Muscle Beach, California lifters are hefting "odd ball stuff" in the great outdoors.
Good for you.
Let those poor timid souls shake their heads and wonder, "Why?", thinking you are crazy. The fresh air fills your lungs with extra power. You are a lifter and you know that sunshine will give you Vitamin D and make you even stronger. Most of all, you are having fun.
If you have never trained outside, then now is the time. Grab a pair of Indian Clubs, a stone ball, or your challenge dumbbell and lift in the grass.
Here is a quick outdoor workout. All you need is a stone, a chin-up bar or tree limb, those clubs and that dumbbell:
Warm-up with light clubs: 5 Different Swings x 20 Reps, non-stop
One Hand Dumbbell Clean & Press: Right Hand 5 x 3, then Left Hand 5 x 3
One Hand Dumbbell Clean & Jerk (with a split): Right Hand 5 x 3, Left Hand 5 x 3
(Try to get your split as low as possible.)
Pick up your stone. Front Squat 5 reps, Walk with it around your house, when you are about to fall over, try to get 5 more Front Squats. Drop it. If you aren't back to where you started, then continue this process until you do get back.
Chin-up/Pull-up Bar: 10 Chins, 10 Pull-ups, 10 Alternate Grip Pull-ups, 10 With the other Alternate Grip Position Pull-ups. If you can't get 10 reps, straight through, get as many as you can, rest and continue. Don't do cheater "kipping pull-ups". Get your full range of motion and when you finish a set, hang, stretch, rotate your hips and work your abs and low back until everything is loose and relaxed. This will have you ready for your next workout.
I hope you enjoyed this workout. It's one of my favorites.
All the best,
Roger LaPointe
"Today is a good day to lift."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/9/2013 (1433 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR READERS: Helpful mail has poured in with tips for Evening Shift Terror, the woman who got off the bus at a very late hour coming home from work, and was scared stiff when her neighbour and dog came up behind her, and then offered her a safe walk home. Here are their suggestions:
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: As a good boss in a workplace that also requires some employees to work late, I find a safe way for that employee to get home, whether it's finding a ride with another employee or paying for a taxi to safely get them home as soon as it gets dark, and especially if I know those employees live downtown or the North End. Read the labour laws online. Know your rights. If you can't find another safe way home late at night, get your employer to help you find a safe way home. -- Employer Who Cares, Winnipeg
Dear Employer Who Cares: The Manitoba Labour Board says regulations state all employers must help with "options" for safe ways home for people whose shifts end between midnight and 6 a.m., such as employee carpools or people picking them up, or even providing a bus schedule. But, they are not obligated to hire cabs to get everybody home during those hours.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Taking a self-defence course would help empower you as well as keep you safer. Day or night, be more aware of your surroundings, who is around you, where you could go for help and what you could do. After my self-defence course, I was surprised to learn that men were actually following me in broad daylight. Walk with confidence and even if you are scared, don't show it. No one wants to touch a pissed-off cat ready to scratch your eyeballs out. Learn your area, have a safe place to go midway -- 24-hour store or a neighbour that knows if he hears knocking at 3 a.m. there is danger. If someone wants your wallet, throw it in the opposite direction and run! I even go as far as calling a friend or pretending to be on the phone and say things like, "Yup, I'm almost outside your house, do you see me? Is the whole gang there?" That saved my life one time, when I was out of town in a bad area. -- Wanting To Help
Dear Wanting To Help: Nothing like the voice of experience -- thanks for writing.
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg R2X 3B6

• peckish •
Pronunciation: pek-ish • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. (UK) Slightly hungry. 2. Irritable, cranky, crotchety, out of sorts.
Notes: We all react peckishly when we are out of sorts (the adverb) and may be blamed for our peckishness (the noun). Of course, the last thing we are apt to do is peck someone (give them a brief kiss) when we are peckish—unless it is the cook and we are hungry, not irritated.
In Play: Be careful of your location when you use this Good Word. In Britain and elsewhere outside the US, it is likely to be taken in the first sense above: "After the huge lunch we had today, I'm not even peckish now." I wouldn't even guess where we might say, "Being peckish makes me peckish," so that both meanings are retrievable, except where the exceptional readers of alphaDictionary's Good Words congregate.
Word History: Today's Good Word sports two meanings derived from the two meanings of peck. The sense of "slightly hungry" comes from peck "to eat little, unenthusiastically", as to peck at one's food. The other comes from the sense of chickens defending themselves from irritation by pecking at a threat. Both senses are attenuated by the suffix -ish "somewhat", seen in reddish, leanish, darkish, or "like" as in foolish, sheepish, and boyish. (It might make Rodger Collins a bit peckish if we overlooked thanking him for suggesting today's Good Word—so thanks, Rodger.)

HOUSTON - More than 60,000 acres in northwest Harris County were sprayed by air Wednesday to fight West Nile virus.
Officials with the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services' Mosquito Control division said West Nile virus activity has recently increased. It has been confirmed in more than 300 mosquito samples and nearly 100 dead birds, officials said.
"Harris County is experiencing an increase of West Nile Virus infection in mosquitoes and, most notably, in the dead bird population," Dr. Rudy Bueno said. "This situation has prompted the need to supplement the ongoing countywide ground treatment with aerial treatment in the designated areas to better protect the health of our residents."
Pilot Malcom Williams loaded up his plane Wednesday and flew for more than five and a half hours. He said he will target areas that are tough, if not impossible, to get to by ground.
"We've got approximately 60,000 acres chosen by the Harris County Mosquito control for us to spray tonight to reduce the mosquito count to affect the West Nile Virus factor," said Williams.
"The blocks that we are assigned are put into a GPS system, and it tells the aircraft where to fly," Williams said. "Everything's automatic. Spray comes on, spray goes off, swath line automatically advances. All the pilot has got to do is fly."
He told Local 2, "The ground, if you go down a road, a truck can only spray which ever way the wind is blowing about 300 feet. And when you have mosquitoes over this wide of an area, then it's almost physically impossible to have that many trucks out there spraying to do the job."
The county has reported six human cases of West Nile virus this year. There have been 13 human cases in the city of Houston, and three of those cases were fatal. There have been almost 30 West Nile virus-related deaths in Texas in 2012.
The insecticide that was sprayed is Dibrom, which has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. It's considered to be safe for the environment and is routinely used to combat mosquito-borne disease.
Joei Didow is a first-time mom of 10-month-old twins. She said she only uses natural products and she's nervous about the spraying.
"The skin is the largest organ on your body," Didow said. "Anything they touch gets absorbed in the bloodstream. We don't know what the ramifications of the pesticides are."
Health officials said there is no need to worry.
"Because of the very small amount of active ingredient released per acre of ground, the estimates found that for all scenarios considered, exposures were hundreds or even thousands of times below an amount that might pose a health concern," an EPA representative said.
Officials recommended that people stay indoors while their area is being treated, as a precaution.
Authorities also recommend that people take personal measures to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. It is recommended that people use an insect repellent containing DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535 as an active ingredient. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active, is encouraged.

The Best Route to Play Commodities?
Some funds hold futures, while others hold stocks or even physical assets. Here's how to choose.
It used to be that most individual investors seeking to bet on commodities faced a stark choice: buy shares in companies that produce raw materials, or drill for oil near the bullion buried in the backyard.
Now individuals have a much wider range of options, thanks to a growing menu of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. In addition to funds that hold commodity-related stocks, which have been around for decades, there are ETFs that invest in physical metals and commodity futures, as well as some more narrowly drawn commodity-stock portfolios.
All those options mean more opportunities—and a lot more confusion for investors. But fund managers say there are some general guidelines that can help investors zero in on the kind of commodities exposure they want and the investments that can help them get it. When trying to decide how to play the commodities game, they say, investors should keep these points in mind:
• Commodity prices can be volatile, but investors who are convinced they know which way prices are heading in the near term—and want to bet on their conviction—may have a better chance of a big payoff if they're right by investing in funds that hold futures or physical materials, rather than stocks.
• Shares of commodity producers can sometimes rise over time even if the material they produce is getting cheaper or prices are stagnating, because companies can add value and cut costs.
• Funds that hold futures or physical materials can provide diversification because they are less likely to rise or fall in tandem with the stock market.
• Some major materials, such as iron ore, are difficult to wager on except through equities. On the flip side, few big publicly traded companies are direct producers of corn, wheat and some other crops.
With those guidelines in mind, here is a look at three growing parts of the raw-materials landscape and some of the ways investors can play them, using mutual funds and ETFs:
What's Available: There may be no other single commodity for which there is a wider variety of investment choices than gold. In addition to funds that hold gold futures and funds that hold mining stocks, there are ETFs backed by bullion. One fund even stores its bullion stash only in politically neutral Switzerland.
What Investors Should Know: Gold is a prime example of how commodities can provide diversification. Gold prices are on track to rise for the 12th consecutive year, during a time when the stock market has seen the most breathtaking swings in decades.
What's more, gold prices haven't necessarily tracked the performance of companies that mine the metal. Last year, gold prices logged a 10% gain, while the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF fell 16% as many miners struggled with rising costs, among other challenges.
More recently, however, mining stocks have risen more strongly than gold as investors concluded the shares had become unreasonably cheap. As of Oct. 31, gold prices had climbed 12% since hitting a low for the year in mid-May, while the Market Vectors fund surged 34% over the same period.
Mining companies are trimming expenses and giving better guidance to investors, says Joseph Foster, a portfolio manager who specializes in precious metals at Van Eck Global, which operates the Market Vectors Gold Miners fund.
Keep in mind that funds holding physical gold likely will follow the gold price more closely than funds that hold futures. That's because buying new monthly futures contracts to replace expiring ones can erode returns if they are more expensive, or boost returns if they are cheaper. Whether those new contracts are more expensive or cheaper depends on supply-and-demand dynamics, which can change rapidly.
When it comes to metals that aren't widely traded on futures exchanges, fund options are more limited. Owning shares in large mining companies such as BHP Billiton Ltd., Rio Tinto PLC or Vale, for example, is often a more practical way for investors to make bets on materials such as iron ore and coal, which are too bulky to store efficiently.
If you want exposure to the iron-ore price or the coal price, "you've got to take the equities," says Graham Tuckwell, chairman of ETF Securities, which runs several commodity funds backed by physical commodities, but not for those two materials.
What's Available: Investors who want to bet on energy prices can either buy funds that hold shares of energy companies or invest in funds that hold futures linked to oil and gas.
For those who decide to take the equities route, fund choices are plentiful. Some funds hold big stakes in oil and gas giants, while others home in on niche markets such as oil-services firms. For investors interested in futures, there are ETFs focused exclusively on oil or natural-gas futures, as well as broader commodity ETFs with a heavy energy component, such as the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust.
What Investors Should Know: As with gold, events in the energy market can affect futures and stock investments differently. Oil prices may rise sharply in a crisis without dramatically lifting the fortunes of oil companies, which may be exposed to fresh political or economic risk.
When an uprising in Libya last year sparked concerns about lost crude supplies, oil prices leapt but many oil-company stocks fell amid concerns for the broader economy. In the month after those concerns spiked in mid-February 2011, U.S. oil prices climbed 17%, but the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF, which has oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. as top holdings, fell 2%.
"First thing I do is ask [investors] what their time frame is," says Doug Ober, chief executive of , a closed-end fund that largely, but not exclusively, holds energy-related stocks. "If a person believes that in the next three months, Israel is going to bomb Iran and the price of oil will go up, we're not the place to go," he says. The prices of oil futures—and thus futures-owning ETFs—often respond more directly to supply-and-demand changes, while companies may or may not be exposed to those dynamics, depending on how or where they process or consume oil.
Mr. Ober's fund is up 4% this year, through Oct. 31, compared with a 1% rise in the price of Brent crude, a widely watched international benchmark.
What's Available: Investors seeking exposure to crops and livestock can buy funds that hold shares of agriculture firms or funds that hold futures linked to those goods. But unlike gold, farm products are perishable and bulky, so getting exposure to the actual goods is hard for investors without a silo or ranch.
What Investors Should Know: For stock-market fans, one challenge is that few publicly traded companies are directly involved in producing corn or wheat. The Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF, which goes by the ticker symbol MOO, holds stock in firms such as Deere & Co. and Monsanto Co., which supply farmers and can benefit when crop prices rise, but not necessarily to the same extent or at the same time.
The Teucrium Corn Fund, which is issued by Teucrium Trading LLC and holds corn futures, rose 15% from the end of June through Oct. 31, boosted by a U.S. drought over the summer that sent corn prices to record highs. MOO, however, rose 4% in that same time.
There are funds that hold a broad basket of agricultural commodities, including the PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund. But investors who wager on agriculture futures need to be especially alert to changes in the supply-demand balance, which can shift rapidly.
This past spring, U.S. farmers planted more corn than in any year since the Great Depression, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast a record crop, depressing prices.
That projection fell apart within the space of a few weeks this summer because of the drought.

The Readers Weigh In: Investing in Gold
Gold is real money even when it is not actively being used as currency. This is the reason banks hold physical gold and why you should too.
-- Missy
Buy Krugerrands. Low premium over spot and globally recognized.
-- Tom Porter
As my old personal-finance instructor told us, "Gold in general is a poor investment, but you should own enough to get you on the last plane out of Mukden." That means in the floor safe, not a bank where the government can seize it. In 40 years I have not lost a lot of money following his advice.
-- Old Dude
ETF, because you can write covered calls on the position.
-- Cario Lam
You can't spend it. Gold is a scam and a bubble.
-- Dana Kincaid
ETFs, for the ability to trade on regulated markets without the exposure of having to carry a commodity trade.
-- Lynette Mapp
Definitely gold stocks.
Company shares will always outperform bullion.
-- Dwayne Strocen
Gold coins/bars—they're true currency.
-- Greg Hartnett
Coins or bars at little or no premium, in a safe that is hidden from anyone but me. If central banks/governments collapse, then ETFs and stocks will be worth less than the pixels they are printed on.
-- Fear Itself
In Praise of a Nomadic Life
A couple has given up a lot for a life of working and living on the road. But they wouldn't want it any other way.

Tyra Banks dares to discuss 'what's up down there'
Tyra Banks is devoting her entire show on Monday to the vagina. Yes, that's right. The female vagina. It will be an entire hour-long episode about the ins and outs of the mysterious lady part. People reports:
"I have wanted to do this show for two years," says Banks, 33. "I know for a lot of women talking about what is going on in our bodies is extremely difficult, but it is incredibly important."
She added, "We should be able to talk to our daughters, sisters, mothers and friends about our bodies and not be embarrassed. I hope after this show women will not be ashamed about what's up down there."
Great. So now I know what's really been on Tyra Banks' mind all these years. Burdened with this information how am I supposed to enjoy reruns of America's Next Top Model? I'll be sitting there wondering if Tyra was really upset when Caridee insulted Nigel or was she just thinking about vaginas? When Janice Dickinson spoke was Tyra actually listening or was she noticing that Janice's collagen lips look like a huge vagina? And how would she make a segment out of that for her show? Haven't you heard? It's about vaginas.

Proposed Poll Question: How excited are you for The Casual Vacancy?
Proposed Answers:
- I'm planning to download a copy at midnight.
- I'm planning to purchase a physical copy at midnight.
- I'll purchase it the day it comes out, but maybe not at midnight.
- I'll purchase it when it's convenient for me.

Ikea announced that it will be recalling almond cakes found to contain high levels of coliform bacteria, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The cakes will be recalled from stores in 23 countries. The too high bacterial levels were detected after Chinese authorities seized a batch of the cakes at customs in Dec. 2012.
"Coliform bacteria are organisms that are present in the environment and in the feces of all warm-blooded animals and humans," according to the State Department of Health. "Coliform bacteria will not likely cause illness".
The levels of Coliform found in the almond cakes was higher than acceptable according to the the Shanghai quarantine bureau that did the testing.
Along with the Ikea Cakes, Kraft Cream cheese and Nestle chocolate bars we also seized for other violations according to the associated press.
This recall comes just a few days after horse meat was found in IKEA meatballs.
Last week IKEA is stopped sales of its Swedish meatballs after a report they contain horse meat.
Food inspectors in the Czech Republic found traces of horse meat in batches of frozen meatballs, The Associated Press reported.
The product was available in at least 14 different European countries -- Sweden, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, France, Britain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Cyprus and Ireland.

"My save the date cards came out perfect! I sent in a special request to have the right side have 2 smaller pics instead of just 1 pic on the ride side and the design team did an awesome job! I was very impressed at the quality. I cannot be more pleased!"
"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"I loved having the ability to choose up to 4 photos since we took so many for our engagement shoot, yet they were organized in a way they still made it look simple and tasteful! Being able to choose colors that matched was great, as well as writing a detailed message on the back! Also, saving on postcard postage was definitely a huge plus!!!"
"My fiancé and I love this product. We had to swap out a photo, and the communication with WPD was easy! There were other places that would print our save-the-date postcards at a lower cost, but we were so pleased with the quality of the cards that it was worth the little bit of extra funding!"
"I absolutely LOVE how my Save the Dates turned out! The customer service and design team went above and beyond what I expected and were extremely helpful in allowing me to customize the card (change the amount of pictures and change font styles). I was so impressed by the quality and responsiveness of Wedding Paper Divas that I'm only considering their cards for my wedding stationary. You can't go wrong selecting any of their options (but especially this card because its gorgeous)"

I have always been a fan of California surfer Tom Curren. His parents were friends of mine and I got to watch him develop from a kid with huge potential to become one of the greatest surfers of all time.
Along with being World Champion, the dude has carried as much or more respect than pretty much anybody else ever in the sport. He was unquestionably the top surfer of his era.
During all this he was also following a love and interest in music. As he got older, and his surfing career traversed from competitive to "legend" status, the time and efforts he put into his music moved to the forefront of his attention.
He spent a lot of time learning and perfecting the craft. He put out a couple of albums some years ago, nice work but pretty much "developmental" in comparison to his current release, "In Plain View," which came out on April 2.
I can say without blinking an eye that this is a GREAT album. Tom has gone way beyond the "surfer who plays music" stigma. The dude is really good. His songs are wonderful, his singing is right on the money and his musicianship is top notch. His work stands on its own merits and doesn't need the boost that having been what he was in surfing will inevitably give it.
He is right there with the other two surfing/musicians that have cracked the big time in music: Jack Johnson and Donavon Frankenritter. And Tom's work is all its own.
Trying to come up with somebody to compare it to is not easy. He is who he is and his music is just that. I have listened to "In Plain View" about five times now and I love it. Each time I hear something different that I really like. It is produced extremely well and I can find no flaws. Just the opposite, I just keep going, "wow, this is really good."
Tom puts the whole surfer/musician thing in context in a quote from the recent story on him in Rolling Stone magazine: "I've been [surfing] for a long time, so the plus side is when we do a show and people come see and they go 'Oh, that was good.' They like me, even if I don't play well, because I've been very fortunate to have people like how I surf."
Well, the fact is that that almost all of us like how he surfs. But the new fact is that probably more people are gonna like his music because music is a much bigger stage than surfing. I can see Tom Curren as a rock star in the near future.
Read the Tom Curren story in Rolling Stone.
On a completely different subject, and one that has absolutely nothing to do with surfing but I want to include it anyway as it has a lot to do with sports here in Southern California: Kobe Bryant. As I am normally somewhere in the tropics I don't get to see many Lakers games. Yet I am as big a Laker fan as they come. I worked with Jerry West when I was young and he used to let me sit in his family seats during the regular season.
I became a rabid fan and have stayed that way. I can still remember one morning I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean doing a Miller Lite promotion when I heard on somebody's radio as I passed down the hall something about Magic Johnson having gotten AIDS. I cried that day.
So the other night I actually got to see the game in which Kobe got hurt. Didn't sleep that night. I love the way this guy does what he does and to see him give it more than he has, to physically and mentally just WILL his team to a win, and have this happen just crushed me.
So, I want to say here, and with the hopes that somehow he reads this or hears about it as he lives in the O.C., my thoughts are with ya dude, and if anybody can come back from this and still rock it is YOU.
Get well and come back when you do. And if you ever wanna learn to surf, come see me.

Why does the idea of a knob of sweetly melting butter on top of a juicy steak seem so decadent to me? They are two products from the same animal, after all. It is a little indulgent, and it's one of the most delicious combinations I can think of.
I eat it infrequently, but when I'm craving grilled meat I need a steak. The flat iron is one of my favorite cuts; it's way more affordable than my top pick, a rib-eye, and it comes from the beef chuck so it has great flavor. It's also a nicely uniform size, which makes it perfect for slicing and piling into a sandwich.
I made a compound butter for this sandwich to fancy it up a little. The flavor reminds me of a classic Steak Béarnaise sauce, with lemon juice and pickles supplying the familiar tang along with some fresh tarragon.
- ¼ cup softened butter
- 1/3 cup cornichon or baby gherkin pickles, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch sea salt, or to taste
- 2 flat iron steaks, about 8 ounces each
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small head bibb lettuce
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 4 crusty French sandwich rolls
- Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling or light a gas grill to medium-high.
- Mix together the butter, pickles, tarragon, lemon juice and salt to taste in a small bowl.
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks about 3 minutes per side for medium rare, or until done to your liking. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Lay the rolls on the outer edge of the grill to warm.
- To serve, line the rolls with lettuce leaves. Cut the steaks into ¼-inch thick slices and layer into the rolls. Top each sandwich with some onion and a few dollops of the pickle butter.

Topic: Mom passed last night ;-(
My dear amazing super mom passed away on her own terms and her own timing late last night. It was all going so quickly but no one thought it would be THAT soon.... as my brother said, she has been one step ahead of us the whole time and we just never caught up. It is a blessing that she could go quickly, and i truly believe that she wanted to protect US from suffering through her decline any further.
She is now making heaven a more beautiful place with her gardening and probably offering everyone her yummy minted lemon iced tea and a home made ginger snap or brownie.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/7/2013 (1505 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
John Kendle, the managing editor of this and other Canstar Community News papers, should be feeling pretty proud.
Crowds at his paper's special day at the races on Canada Day were even bigger than last year's Derby Day. And hundreds of you clipped coupons from his papers to give yourself a discount on programs and wagers. About $340,000 was bet that day.
If you weren't there, you missed a good one, and you might want to tuck this fact into the back of your mind to be sure to come out to next year's Canstar Day at the Races on Canada Day.
And while the biggest race of the afternoon, the $30,000 Canstar Canada Day stakes to determine the best mare on the grounds, had its usual triumphant celebration (with Kendle presenting the trophy to the winning connections), it also had its touching side.
Few knew that Jim Meyaard, the trainer of race-winner Lil Misknowitall, was hurting inside. Not until he held up his glass trophy and shouted: "This is for Trent" did we find out that his only child, Trent, 22, was fighting for his life in an Edmonton hospital after being injured in a Jeep rollover accident in northern Alberta a week before his dad's big race. Head injuries initially put his son into a coma, but it appeared the worst was behind him, Meyaard said.
Dad choked back tears in an interview in the winner's circle as he turned his attention to his big win, describing track conditions at Assiniboia Downs as "unbelievably good," giving his horses the opportunity to show their best stuff. Lil Missknowitall had to get by the perennial top mare on the grounds, Golden Stripe, for victory and she did so in a thrilling surge in the late stretch.
But Meyaard's other horses have also been achieving stardom and he is, by far, the leading percentage trainer, winning 54% of his races. The next best is 37.5% by trainer Rob Atras, and even that is an amazing number.
Meyaard races horses across the country, primarily at Northlands Park in Edmonton, but he says Assiniboia Downs has the best surface of all. "My horses come back happy, and when my horses are happy, I'm happy." The safe, horse-friendly surface is borne out by the statistics: fatal horse breakdowns are few and far between at the track, making it among the safest if not THE safest track in North America, with an average of only two or three breakdowns a year.
In fact, the previous chair of the Manitoba Horse Racing Commission, David Miles, said, upon retiring this spring, that the low breakdown rate at the Downs was a highlight of his 11-year tenure as a racing official.
In other shenanigans on Canstar Canada Day, Blue Bombers mascot Boomer led a team of four mascots to win the Great Mascot Race to raise money for Child Find Manitoba, the first-ever Gigantic Garage Sale won kudos from vendors which should make it an annual event and "track invasion" had dads joining their kids in the horses' starting gate to race down the stretch where 55 years of history has been made.
Live racing continues Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and remember I reveal racing "secrets" 30 minutes before post time at the stage just inside the main entrance. See you there, I hope! Attendees have been doing especially well lately!

Support for "Youth Alive" AIDS Prevention Program in Uganda
Monday, March 24, 2014
Project Code: 158-20-49
It was in 1982 that Miriam Duggan, a qualified doctor and Franciscan religious Sister, diagnosed AIDS for the first time. When more and more patients came to her and subsequently died from the disease, and when she saw their children orphaned and left to be looked after by their grandmothers, who already had scarcely enough to live on for themselves, she decided she had to do something. She started by visiting schools to teach the children in the classrooms about the dangers of the epidemic. Then, finally, in 1993, she founded the organization "Youth Alive." Since then the initiative has spread enormously, organized in different clubs. In Uganda alone, there are 780 clubs, each with at least 50 members. Today the Youth Alive movement has implemented numerous AIDS awareness programs and has reached over 3 million people in the past 15 years with its AIDS prevention campaigns. The movement has even spread beyond Uganda's borders and is present in no fewer than 80 different countries, above all on the African continent.The organization works closely together with other initiatives and with hospitals, adhering strictly to the recommendations of the Ugandan health ministry: to teach young people in detail about the risks of sexual activity, to strengthen social norms, and improve the quality of treatment of HIV-positive patients. The Youth Alive leaders, themselves mostly young people, make quite clear that sexual continence and faithful relationships are still the best way of avoiding infection with the HIV virus. In order to be able to reach as many people as possible, they organize workshops in the schools and parishes. And they are well equipped for the task. "We do a lot of music-making and theater, so that the young people can get the message and pass it on and so help to educate one another," Sister Miriam tells us. "The goal of Youth Alive was, and still is, to help children and young adults adopt a healthy and proactive lifestyle, free of HIV / AIDS, and so have the chance to fulfill their dreams for the future." So runs the message in a description of the program. ACN is supporting this program with a contribution of $9,900. Will you join in supporting this Catholic AIDS prevention work in Uganda?Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

Imus attacks Scarborough, the man who filled his MSNBC time-slot
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Don Imus took shots this week at Joe Scarborough, the man who filled his MSNBC time-slot after the shock-jock was canned for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos."
Now at the lowly-rated Fox Business Network, Imus is up in arms over a post on the New York Times' MediaDecoder blog about Scarborough's radio program going on hiatus for a re-tooling and expansion. As Mediaite.com's Steve Krakauer writes:
The crux of Imus' argument is that the Times story sounds like spin (via Radio Equalizer). "His radio show is canceled," said Imus. "They're not revamping anything! He will never ever be on WABC in New York again, ever!"
Newsbusters picked up the story as well - and highlighted this personal shot by Imus aimed at Scarborough:
Imus said Scarborough's MSNBC ratings aren't any better than Imus's were when he was forced out, and told listeners they should check NBC personnel files to see how many people have complained about Scarborough, since he is a "disgusting backstabbing phony."
Then it was time for Scarborough to address Imus, Newsbusters and Radio Equalizer (on Twitter):
Neither @newsbusters nor Imus can change these facts: We've already doubled Imus's best ratings over a decade. Imus never beat CNN. We do.
Morning Joe gets 20 times the audience in the demo as does Imus. Our WABC radio show also beat Glenn Beck every month in every category.
Imus's bitterness is misplaced. I was one of the few people who stood by him publicly. It's a shame he's so bitter about our success.
Imus' attacks come off as the bitter musings of a man still fuming over the loss of his job. His swipes at Scarborough are misdirected. If he should be angry or bitter with anyone it should be himself. He has no one else to blame for landing at a joke of network like Fox Business.

At first, I was like BORING...then I was like AWESOME!
Got this app this morning. Awesome stuff! Here's a couple clips I shot.
Lol this app is too fun. Definitely worth the $2 for the other 4 scenes!
I fail to get why people are being so childish about a Christmas greeting .. I myself am an Atheist but I could care less if someone gives a holiday greeting for whatever religion they may be .. I either ignore it or say thank you out of kindness and respect.... the backlash is quite childish rather stupid IMHO
As for the App itself ... it crashes for me all the time running 5.0 on an ipod 4g ..
I might add however that Jesus is a recognized figure in Christianity, Islam and Judaism .. he just means something different in each.. to me I'm not even sure he existed as a man, but still ..
That certainly makes more sense.. my apologies jumping in after the fact!
Anyone else experiencing these constant crashes? I was hopeful that 5.0.1 would fix it, I upgraded today since the un-tether came out but the action movie app still dies on me constantly which is a bummer.
FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING APP CRASHES... I just "solved" it on my iPod 4g .. I merely sprung into safe mode! even though I have nothing loaded on my device yet since I just loaded 5.0.1 there's something it doesn't like ..
In safe mode I can run all the scenes and save out the effects.. only a minor inconvenience if you ask me

WASHINGTON (AP) -- People with severe food allergies have a new tool in their attempt to find menus that fit their diet: federal disabilities law. And that could leave schools, restaurants and anyplace else that serves food more vulnerable to legal challenges over food sensitivities.
A settlement stemming from a lack of gluten-free foods available to students at a Massachusetts university could serve as a precedent for people with other allergies or conditions, including peanut sensitivities or diabetes. Institutions and businesses subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act could be open to lawsuits if they fail to honor requests for accommodations by people with food allergies.
Colleges and universities are especially vulnerable because they know their students and often require them to eat on campus, Eve Hill of the Justice Department's civil rights division says. But a restaurant also could be liable if it blatantly ignored a customer's request for certain foods and caused that person to become ill, though that case might be harder to argue if the customer had just walked in off the street, Hill said.
The settlement with Lesley University, reached last month but drawing little attention, will require the Cambridge, Mass., institution to serve gluten-free foods and make other accommodations for students who have celiac disease. At least one student complained to the federal government after the school would not exempt the student from a meal plan even though the student couldn't eat the food.
"All colleges should heed this settlement and take steps to make accommodations," says Alice Bast, president and founder of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.
People who suffer from celiac disease don't absorb nutrients well and can get sick from the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley. The illness, which affects around 2 million Americans, causes abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea, and people who have it can suffer weight loss, fatigue, rashes and other problems.
Ten years ago, most people had never heard of celiac disease. But awareness has exploded in recent years, for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Some researchers say it was under-diagnosed, others say it's because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goods than in past decades, and those items use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content.

"How's the huntin'?"
Texas Parks and Wildlife Using Social Media to Connect with Hunters
AUSTIN – As thousands of hunters flock to their bird leases for the opening day of dove season in the North and Central Zones Wednesday, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is going to be trying something new.
To encourage discussions among hunters and hopefully foster better communication between TPWD and some of its prime constituents, the department is going to be reaching out to the public through social media.
The department hopes to see, and share, reports from hunters on how they're doing on the first day of dove season, on through the weekend and beyond. Down the road, TPWD plans to set up live Q&A sessions where the department will answer questions on bag limits, game laws, and other related issues.
TPWD invites outdoor-loving Texans to come along for the hunt in a virtual sense by joining our Facebook http://www.facebook.com/tpwdhunt and Twitter http://twitter.com/tpwdhunt hunting communities.
Hunters on Twitter should start your tweet with @TPWDhunt and use #TxDove at the end or follow us in the field at http://twitter.com/tpwdhunt and search for #TxDove.

Utlimately it will be a resource for voting systems, a set of online 'trust' based voting tools, open voting tools, and a blog and community site for the current changes occuring in the world (Draft 1 of the blogafesto is done, but extremely rough still - good luck). Much much more to be done yet.

HOUSTON - When a child is in the hospital, the first thing on a family's mind is, of course, the health of their child.
But once they go home, many low-income families face new challenges, which often can only be resolved with costly legal advice.
Now a first-of-its -kind, free partnership is helping Houston area families heal once outside the hospital doors.
At birth, Pamela Brown's grandson, Kaylon, was only given a week to live.
She explained, "Kaylon was born with hydrocephalus (and) cerebral palsy. He is developmentally delayed."
He is now 14 years old.
Brown quit her job to care for him.
Kaylon needs 24-hour supervision and even though Pamela is his sole caregiver, she's not his legal guardian, which has led to costly road blocks.
She explained, "I tried to get guardianship, but it's a lengthy process. The attorney charges so much that I cannot afford (it). So when I heard about this program, I thought, 'Golly, this was the best thing that ever could've come about and happened with me.'"
With financial support from Walmart, Texas Children's Hospital along with the Houston Bar Association's Houston Volunteer Lawyers announced a new medical legal partnership.
An onsite dedicated staff attorney will help families pro bono with legal advice, anything from negotiating with a landlord to improve poor living conditions causing a child's asthma to fighting for health benefits.
TCH General Counsel Lance Lightfoot told Local 2, "We provide world class health care, but when they leave our doors, there are a lot of things that can affect their health and they need legal assistance to help them with those issues."
Mark A. Wallace, TCH president and chief executive officer said, "It has always been our mission to help low-income children with all of their medical needs. This program is just another example of how we are doing that."
Walmart executive vice president and general counsel Jeff Gearhart said, "This announcement furthers our goal to help create a network of medical-legal partnerships at children's hospitals across the country."
Brown added, "This program is a Godsend. It really is."
This new partnership is dedicated to serving the estimated 50 percent of TCH patients who are on Medicaid and CHIP.

Coming Attractions: June 7
Published 5:37 pm, Wednesday, June 5, 2013
This Is the End: Celebrities play versions of themselves — and start dropping like flies — when they face the apocalypse while attending a wild housewarming party at James Franco's place. Blue lights suddenly carry people away, and a giant crack opens in the earth. Survivors Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and Franco barricade themselves inside the house and divvy up the food, water and drugs. Emma Watson goes a little berserk in a film based on a 2007 short by Rogen and Baruchel. Even Goldberg directed lots of these folks in "Pineapple Express" (2008).
Before Midnight: Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy continue the story that began with "Before Sunrise" (1995) and continued with "Before Sunset" (2004). They were a couple that spent a magical night walking and talking after a chance meeting on a train bound for Vienna; now they're married with kids and spending the summer in Greece wondering where the magic went. All three were directed by Austin's Richard Linklater; this one, which opened in some markets May 24, has a 97 Tomatometer score.
Love Is All You Need: Romance may be in the offing for the father of the groom (Pierce Brosnan) and the mother of the bride (Danish star Trine Dyrholm), who meet by accident en route to their children's wedding in Italy. Brosnan is Philip, a sourpuss widower; Dyrholm is a cancer survivor with a cheating husband. Directed by Danish filmmaker Susanna Bier, who won the foreign-film Oscar for "In a Better World" in 2011.
Man of Steel: DC Comics hero Superman tries to get traction amid the Marvel Comics heroes with this reboot of the franchise that debuted on the big screen in 1978 and saw a comeback, the Bryan Singer-directed "Superman Returns," fail in 2006. Henry Cavill is the new Man of Steel and Clark Kent; Amy Adams is Lois Lane. The twist is that Earth is being invaded by members of Superman's race, led by General Zod (Michael Shannon), whom you'll remember from comic books and "Superman II" in 1981. Russell Crowe is his Krypton dad; Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are his earthly parents. Director Zach Snyder's credits include "Watchmen" and "300."

Buongiorno from 2 degrees C sunny Wetherby UK
I know front end developes build web sites from a designer whos passed on there artistic vision in pile of photoshop psd files. Now whilst i can get a tonne of tutorials on CSS & HTML where can i get some experience of building sites from photoshop files?
Ive Googled around & got a tonne of garbage so if any Sitepoint member can point me towards a resource that introduces you to the process of converting photoshop files into a website I'd be eternally gratefull.
Grazie tanto,David
Have a look at the community book we put together a few years ago. It has a chapter by Paul O'B on this:
Just downloaded it, Chapter 5 Perfect - Thank you Ralph
Have you considered just getting software that does it for you automatically? PSD to HTML conversion can be done with SiteGrinder. I use it all of the time to get my PSD designs into working sites. It saves me time instead of having to slice and such. Lately, I've been using the PSD to Wordpress conversion plug-in because I recently moved over to Wordpress.
Really? How is the code that it spits out? I have had a look in the past at apps like SiteGrinder and decided it would be easier and much quicker to crop and remove just the parts that I needed fro the psd and write the code by hand.
If things have changed and the code is of a high standard then fair enough but I really have found no use for them.
Could you give us an example of the type of site you have done and have online?
Personally, I just use the PSD files I'm given as a guide. I just rebuild the page from scratch. I don't care if it's slower, because I end up with a much better coded page. The PSD file is only really useful for colors etc. If it has background images, I hide the other layers and save them for the web—often having to modify them first so that they tile nicely etc. (Print designers tend to foget about that issue.)
From a designer's point of view, I'd expect you to do that, @ralph.m! (although it must be noted not all designers might feel the same way). Make sure to keep the designer in the loop as changes might be made that alter the intent of the design. I think 'artistic vision' is rubbish, but the design has to serve a purpose. I do weigh up a lot of considerations when designing that can impact on legibility, UX and communication and sometimes this is altered in the conversion to code. I'm sure you probably already do this with designers you collaborate with, but not all devs do and I thought it was worth a mention
The whole PSD to HTML industry seems to see it differently, though, sliding up the PSD as a bunch of images and pasting them into the page. Awful ...
Yes, certainly, although it is depressing that lessons don't seemed to be learned. Designs keep coming with background effects cut off at the sides (with no thought for the ever expanding canvas of a web page), the assumption of fixed heights for everything ... the list goes on. This is after a lot of coaching and explanation of the nature of the web.
I can see how that's incredibly annoying. Here's hoping they eventually listen and learn from your feedback
And this is the best way to do it! Automated tasks can`t do it right. Never.
And that is just because a designer MUST know how to turn his own work into html template. This gives him the skill to create functional sites from the beginning, thus saving coder`s time.
I always thinks its odd that in some agencies the designer & front end develop are seperated. In an ideal world me thinks the designer and front end developer should be one.
That covers a lot of skill sets, though. They should just have a good understanding of each other's discipline, without necessarily being good at it.
Hello! I think 'artistic vision' is rubbish, but the design has to serve a purpose.

Hello,What do you think about practicing a 'Switch to a new browser day' on which we can inform people that are using older browsers to switch to a new or different one on our websites.Here is the link to the original idea:http://www.beaconwatch.com/post.php?id=18Let me know what you think.Thanks.
It's a nice idea, but I don't think it'll have much effect.Your target groups are:a) people on corporate networksb) people with little technical knowledge
Group a cannot change (whether they want to or not), as the decision lies with the company they work for.Group b (I'm thinking of my parents and their friends) don't want to change as what they have works.
Yeah, even I believe it would be hard to implement. But like you said, if we just target 'group a' and the owners of the website want to practice it, then it will definitely help. But what I like about this idea is that it is just suppose to be for a day, every year. So even if major websites like Google, Facebook, Youtube and twitter practice this day. I think it will definitely help and every year when new browsers come out, more people will switch to them because of this. But that's just how I feel.
I wouldn't inform people one day a year that they can switch browser, but rather tell people with very old browsers every day of the year that they should update, using a service like http://browser-update.org/
Lol, yeah you can do that too. But the important thing is that, imo, famous websites should definitely do it for it to be effective, at least one day or all year long.
Google already do that 365 days a year and 366 days in leap years. Anyone who doesn't have their browser set ti identify itself as Chrome will get a message suggesting that they upgrade to Chrome every time they do a search.
Thanks for informing about that, I did not realize that until now. But what I like about the idea is that it suggests to make it an official day. That would definitely create a lot more awareness imo. But I don't know if it is even feasible to even create awareness in the webmaster community to implement this.
Before you could do that you'd really need to have a What is a Browser day. Most of those people who are running antiquated browsers don't know what a browser is and would assume that any reference to upgrading a browser is not directed at them as since they don't know what a browser is they assume that they don't have one to upgrade. To them the blue e in their desktop is called "the internet" and they assume that everyone else accesses the internet the same way. Those browser thingies that apparently some people need to upgrade must be needed to access some special part of the internet that they don't use since their direct access to the internet doesn't require a browser.
Not changing the Chrome, man
But Firefox isn't a typical browser.
You really should consider switching to a good browser such as Chrome or Opera and leave that antiquated Firefox behind.
I've tried 5 browsers - IE, FF, chrome, safari, rockmelt but still id like how FF and chrome features saves me a lot of work and time...rockmelt is cool though
No change. Still now I am using Mozilla Firefox.<snip />
I hear a lot of people extolling the virtues of Opera, and I have a copy installed on my machine, but I haven't really noticed that much of a speed difference between it and FF. Maybe the Linux versions are less different speed-wise than the Windows versions?
The main reason I use Firefox is because of all the developer extensions (HTML tidy, web developer toolbar, color picker, color contrast tester, etc), and I don't know how many of these are available on Opera.
Now my phone is a different story. I started using Dolphin a while back, which was a decent browser, but I've since switched to Chrome. I just prefer the way it works and renders pages.
I think people should have at least 2 good browsers installed on their system. I always use Chrome, but I also have Firefox installed. Rarely when something is acting weird in Chrome, such as if some video is not playing correctly.. then I use Firefox.
Two of the main speed advantages that Opera has are (i) it has a lot more native functions than Firefox, so there is less need to slow it down with clunky add-ons (this is often why Firefox performs badly on speed tests), and (ii) it has lots of shortcuts that allow you to carry out tasks quicker because you aren't hunting through menus or typing as much in. It has great web developer facilities (including a colour picker!), which I've barely scratched the surface of. It generally gets new features first and they are then copied by other browsers, natively or as add-ons, some time later.
I have been using Opera for years, and any time I have to use any other browser I feel like I'm not just trying to work it left-handed but left-footed, because so many of the tricks that I usually use don't work. It takes a little bit of effort to get the best out of it, which is what puts a lot of people off, but what you get back for that little bit of effort is well worth it.

I guess I'll have to do some Opera fiddling when I get home tonight. :scratch:
Having number of browsers will not help. The only thing that is going to help is the browser that you are comfortable with like in using and about its add on.So that you will have update version of browser keep it on automatic check for update and install.
Particularly with all the people still running old browsers who don't even know that such a thing as a browser exists - to then the blue "e" on their desktop IS the internet so why would they expect to use anything else.

A NAME, DISCONNECTIONS, THE EIFFEL TRUTH and More Set for Little Fish Theatre's 2013 PICK OF THE VINE, 1/11-2/16
Little Fish Theatre today announced the plays that will constitute the 11th Season of Pick of the Vine, an evening of original one-act plays that has become the signature production of this local arts landmark.
The 2013 Pick of the Vine will consist of:
One for the Chipper by Adam Seidel
A Name by Mark Cornell
The Kiss by Mark Harvey Levine
A Fine Romance by Ben Jolivet
Disconnections by Peter Kennedy
The Eiffel Truth by Susan Apker
The Divine Visitation of Joe Pickelsimer by Micah McCoy
The True Cost of Heavenly Birth Insurance by Bill Johnson
Ranging from five to fifteen minutes in length, these eight plays are the theatrical equivalent of Spanish tapas -- delightful bites of comedy and drama that, taken together, provide an eminently satisfying evening's entertainment. Most have never been performed before an audience. For dramatic variety and robust enjoyment, the collection of one-act plays Little Fish selects as Pick of the Vine is unique. This production will run from January 11 through February 16, 2013.
Over the years, Pick of the Vine has accumulated a loyal following, evident in the growing audiences. Last year, the count was over 1,050 -- remarkable since the Little Fish Theatre seats only 65 at a time. As in the past two seasons, this production is expected to sell out most performances.
The artistic team at Little Fish Theatre undertakes an arduous process making each year's selection from submitted manuscripts -- 592 this year -- carefully culling through to identify the choice moments of dramatic and comedic impact that make a mini-play ripe for the Pick of the Vine lineup. This year, script submissions came from Canada, Taiwan, Wales, England, Australia, Brazil, Macedonia, Korea, and Uzbekistan; but the final 2013 selections were all submitted by US writers. Likewise, the drama of the selected plays is built on the full range of human experience -- casual indifference, missed opportunity, comic ignorance, brave defiance -- through birth and death and everything in between.
Cast members include many that Little Fish patrons will recognize, plus a few new faces: Holly Baker-Kreiswirth, Rachel Levy, Susie McCarthy, Rodney Rincon, Don Schlossman, Craig Shields and Bill Wolski. Heading the plays are directors Bill Wolski (POV 2012's Au Naturel), James Rice (Present Laughter), Holly Baker-Kreiswirth (Tryst) and Stephanie Coltrin (The Love List, Bach at Leipzig).
Founded in 2002, Little Fish Theatre presents classic and contemporary plays in an intimate setting on Centre Street in downtown San Pedro. Producing eleven plays each year for a one-room 65-seat venue, Little Fish delivers the quintessential close-up theatrical experience, where audience and performers share space and sight-lines, making for eruptive laughter, highly-charged action and palpable emotion.
