Dewing v Kostiuk et al, 2017 MBCA 22
The number of self-represented litigants ("SRLs") is on the rise across the country. The National Self-Represented Litigants Project: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of Self-Represented Litigants by Dr Julie Macfarlane published in 2013 indicated that SRLs already outnumber represented litigants in Ontario civil claims. SRLs represented 21% of all civil litigants in BC, and 19% in Alberta1 and all indications are the numbers would have increased since 2013. The influx of SRLs has put pressure on courts to ease their rules to accommodate SRL's lack of understanding of court procedure. In the recent case of Pintea v. Johns [2017] 1 SCR 470 ("Pineta")2, the Supreme Court of Canada endorsed the Statement of Principles on Self-represented Litigants and Accused Persons established by the Canadian Judicial Council (the "Canadian Judicial Council Principles")3.
While Pineta endorsed the Canadian Judicial Council Principles, the case itself did not provide much help in determining exactly how far courts should go in applying them. As such, other cases will need to serve as a guide. The recent Manitoba Court of Appeal case of Dewing v Kostiuk et al, 2017 MBCA 22 ("Dewing") also used the Canadian Judicial Council's Principles to help determine how far the court should go to accommodate a SRL, and where the court will stop4. As the Manitoba Court of Appeal followed what are now national guidelines, Dewing will help lawyers across the country understand where courts will draw the line when assisting SRLs.
The Plaintiff's claim
In Dewing, the Plaintiff was a SRL who alleged she was sexually assaulted when she was four years old by her twelve year old cousin. Her Statement of Claim sought damages flowing from the abuse and the Plaintiff's inability to cope with the consequences of it. She claimed pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages of over $3.6 million. She claimed against both her cousin and her parents. All three defendants were served by way of substitutional service and the Plaintiff attempted to obtain default judgment. The motions judge would not grant default judgment due to a concern over the substantial damages being claimed and instead required that the matter be set down for a hearing for the Plaintiff to prove her case5.
Prior to the hearing, the hearing judge outlined the issues to be dealt with at the hearing. This included a discussion of the distinction between general damages for pain and suffering and special damages related to pecuniary loss. The hearing itself consisted of the hearing judge asking questions to the Plaintiff while she was under oath6.
The hearing judge took as fact that the Plaintiff's cousin sexually assaulted the Plaintiff when she was four or five years old. As such, the hearing judge granted judgment against the Plaintiff's cousin. The hearing judge did not give judgment against the Plaintiff's parents as there were no facts pleaded in the claim or raised at the hearing which disclosed a cause of action against them7. The hearing judge stated that the Plaintiff had to meet the same standard of proof that she would need to meet had she been represented by counsel8.
The Plaintiff claimed substantial damages for loss of income resulting from the incident. The Plaintiff testified that she was currently enrolled in university with aspirations to go to law school but that she had difficulty completing educational programs because of concentration and memory problems due to the trauma. The hearing judge was satisfied that the Plaintiff had suffered from significant mental health issues which likely affected her ability to complete her education and become gainfully employed. However, there was no basis on the evidence by which to quantify the loss to the extent the Plaintiff claimed. There was no evidence of what the Plaintiff had been able to earn or what she should have been able to earn. The hearing judge concluded that, while the Plaintiff may have been able to present her evidence in a more cogent fashion had she been assisted by counsel, she was not satisfied that she could make an award of damages as claimed on the basis of the evidence presented by the Plaintiff with respect to her lost income9.
The hearing judge did determine that the Plaintiff had met the burden for non-pecuniary damages and awarded $100,000.00 based on the case law10.
The Plaintiff's Appeal
The Plaintiff appealed the decision to the Manitoba Court of Appeal, alleging that the hearing judge should have done more to accommodate her as a SRL. The Plaintiff claimed that she has a mental disability, specifically, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, caused by the sexual assaults, and the hearing judge failed to accommodate that disability by not allowing her to present her evidence in a manner consistent with her condition. She argued that she was denied her rights under Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She sought a rehearing before the hearing judge to present her case over a series of days to accommodate her condition11.
The Manitoba Court of Appeal confirmed that the hearing judge's conduct of the proceedings, particularly the extent to which she provided assistance to the Plaintiff, was a discretionary decision12. The Court of Appeal stated that with the large number of SRLs, the role of the court has changed and provided the following statements on the duty of the presiding judge:
17. … A judge in a civil proceeding has the obligation to ensure that the hearing over which he or she is presiding is fair to all parties whether represented or not. Where a party is self-represented, the judge has the duty to ensure that the SRL has the opportunity to meaningfully participate in the hearing and has a reasonable opportunity to present his or her case."
18 This Court has recognized that fairness and balance are the touchstones to enable justice to be done for all parties (see A. (J.M.) v. Winnipeg Child & Family Services, 2004 MBCA 184, 190 Man. R. (2d) 298 (Man. C.A.) (JA No 1); and Manitoba (Director of Child & Family Services) v. A. (J.), 2006 MBCA 44, 205 Man. R. (2d) 50 (Man. C.A.) (JA No 2)). In JA No 2, Hamilton JA reiterated the overriding principles (at paras 20, 32):
The foregoing quotes speak to the obligation of a judge to permit an unrepresented party to present his or her case. This often requires some assistance and accommodation, provided the rights of the other party are not prejudiced.
As already noted, the trial judge cannot become the advocate for the unrepresented litigant, nor can the judge provide legal advice. However, the judge's challenge is to take pains to ensure that a party's lack of legal training does not unduly prejudice his or her ability to participate meaningfully in the proceeding.
19. A fair opportunity to present a case to the best of his or her ability does not mean that the SRL is to be assisted to present the best possible case.13
In evaluating the conduct of the hearing judge the Court of Appeal indicated that the hearing judge should have provided the Plaintiff with a more expansive explanation of what would have been expected at the hearing. The hearing judge did indicate prior to the hearing that the issue of damages would be an issue, however a more expansive explanation would have been beneficial. The Court of Appeal stressed that SRLs should be informed of the nature of proceedings, the issues that will be raised and the evidence that will need to be called at the earliest opportunity14.
Despite this shortcoming, the Court of Appeal found no error in how the hearing judge determined the case. They noted that the Plaintiff did not request to the hearing judge that the proceeding be dealt with over a series of days to accommodate her condition. The Plaintiff raised this for the first time during the appeal. The Court of Appeal indicated that if the Plaintiff had requested accommodation at the hearing and the hearing judge refused to accommodate her, it would have been a different issue15.
The Court of Appeal did not find the hearing judge's decision that the evidence did not support the Plaintiff's loss of income claim was a palpable and overriding error. The Court of Appeal said that the outcome of the hearing may have been different if the Plaintiff retained counsel, which was unfortunate. However, the Plaintiff clearly understood the difference between pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages as they were separated in the pleadings. The hearing judge also did not misdirect herself in determining that there was not sufficient evidence on a balance of probabilities to prove the damages sought16.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the determination of the $100,000.00 non-pecuniary damages award. The Plaintiff argued that had the hearing been conducted over a period of days she would have been better able to communicate her symptoms to the hearing judge, but the Court of Appeal reiterated that how the hearing judge choses to conduct the proceeding is discretionary, and they saw no basis to overturn the hearing judge's decision. The Court of Appeal also said the hearing judge was correct in dismissing the claim against the Plaintiff's parents for lack of evidence17.
The applicable Canadian Judicial Council Principles
Dewing demonstrates how the Courts will apply some of the Canadian Judicial Council's Principles:
"Judges and court administrators should do whatever is possible to provide a fair and impartial process and prevent an unfair disadvantage to self-represented persons."18
In Dewing, the hearing judge allowed the Plaintiff to present her evidence by having the hearing judge ask her questions. The Court of Appeal indicated that, had the Plaintiff requested it, the hearing could have taken place over a series of days. However, the Court made clear that this obligation does not mean that Courts need to help SRLs present their "best possible case". Failing to obtain what an SRL may have been able to obtain with counsel is not an unfair disadvantage on its own.
"Self-represented persons should not be denied relief on the basis of a minor or easily rectified deficiency in their case."19
The fact that the Plaintiff's only evidence was her testimony, did not prevent her from obtaining judgment of $100,000.00 for general damages. However, failing to provide evidence to support her pecuniary damage claim was a basis for denying the SRL the relief sought.
"When one or both parties are proceeding without representation, non-prejudicial and engaged case and courtroom management may be needed to protect the litigants' equal right to be heard. Depending on the circumstances and nature of the case, the presiding judge may:
(a) explain the process;
(b) inquire whether both parties understand the process and the procedure;
(c) make referrals to agencies able to assist the litigant in the preparation of the case;
(d) provide information about the law and evidentiary requirements;
(e) modify the traditional order of taking evidence; and
(f) question witnesses."20
In Dewing the hearing judge modified the traditional order of taking evidence and questioned the Plaintiff directly. The Manitoba Court of Appeal stated that the SRL should have received a more detailed explanation of the process well before the hearing to ensure that the SRL was aware of the evidentiary requirements. What steps are taken remain a discretionary decision to be made by the hearing judge. The hearing judge will not be expected to anticipate every possible disadvantage of the SRL, and the SRL will not be granted a second hearing even if the hearing judge could have done more to accommodate them or they could have presented more and better evidence with the assistance of counsel.
Dewing demonstrates that, while courts will take active steps to help SRLs, but there are limits to what they will do. They are willing to relax the normal rules of court and ensure that the court process is thoroughly explained to the SRL, but they will not relax the burden of proof that the SRL must meet to prove their case. The Plaintiff in Dewing was able to obtain a substantial judgment based upon her testimony alone. So counsel defending SRL claims cannot assume that the SRL's lack of supporting documents will prevent them from meeting their burden of proof. Despite this, the court made clear that the Plaintiff may have been able to obtain a larger judgment if she had retained counsel. While counsel should expect that courts will bend the rules of court to help accommodate SRLs, courts will not be expected to do the same work that the SRL's counsel would have done.

Its Super Bowl ad time again. Advertisers of all stripes are vying for the attention of the 111 million viewers expected to tune in. The goal is to be the most-talked about ad over the water cooler or Slack chatroom come Monday morning.
From Steven Tyler de-aging for Kia to Amazons imagining of different voices for Alexa Patriots Trent Brown Jersey , here are 10 ads that are likely to be talked about. And if youre not interested in tuning it to watch the big game on Sunday, you can stream all of these ads ahead of time.
The internet giants founder, Jeff Bezos, stars in this 90-second comedic ad showing different celebrities including chef Gordon Ramsay, actress Rebel Wilson, singer Cardi B and actor Anthony Hopkins subbing in for the voice of Amazons voice assistant Alexa.
Anheuser-Busch dispenses with its usual Clydesdales and puppies and instead goes with a 60-second ad that depicts, to the tune of Stand By Me, the companys program to provide water to areas in need.
Bud Light
The beer brands recent ads have centered on a Game of Thrones-like universe that uses the meaningless-but-catchy phrase Dilly Dilly. Now Eagles Markus Wheaton Jersey , in a 60-second ad running in the second quarter, the brand introduces Bud Knight, a heroic character who is ambivalent about helping out in a battle.
The soda maker strives to include everyone in its 60-second ad: people of different ethnicities, someone in a wheelchair and a person who uses the they/them pronoun are all shot at various locations in Mexico clutching or drinking different varieties of Coke.
Doritos & Mountain Dew
The two Pepsico brands have linked spots that show a lip-sync battle between Peter Dinklage, who lip syncs a Busta Rhymes song as a representative for Doritos Blaze, and Morgan Freeman, who lip syncs a song by Missy Elliott for Mountain Dew Ice.
Procter & Gambles air freshener tackles toilet humor with a 30-second ad airing in the second quarter. It purports to be a documentary about Dave, whose bleep dont stink. The kicker: Since your Super Bowl party guests are a bunch of not-Daves Eagles Avonte Maddox Jersey , you might want to take other precautions against bathroom odor.
The automaker has enlisted Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler (who last popped up in a Skittles Super Bowl ad two years ago) to promote its Stinger sports car. In the ad, he drives backward so fast that he gets younger thanks to computer-generated magic. In a nod to advertising tropes, the ad also contains a subliminal message if you watch it backward; Kia helpfully provides this version online.
Michelob Ultra
The Anheuser-Busch light beer brand has 30-second ads in the second and fourth quarters starring Chris Pratt . In one he runs and does yoga while singing along to I Like Beer, a remake of a country song from the 1970s.
The soda maker calls back to its past Super Bowl advertising efforts with Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Celtics basketball player Kyrie Irving and Cindy Crawford in a 30-second ad airing right before the Justin Timberlake halftime show.
The maker of car floor mats shows footage of its new factory being built in a 30-second ad in the first half of the game. On-screen text reads: At WeatherTech, we built our new factory right here in America. Isnt that the way its supposed to be? Its the fifth consecutive year WeatherTech has advertised during the Super Bowl that all of its operations are in the United States.
This story has been updated to correct the name of the car in the Kia ad. Its Stinger, not Stringer.
Using a cane to walk on his surgically repaired left knee Eagles Josh Sweat Jersey , Carson Wentz celebrated a victory with his teammates that many thought the Philadelphia Eagles couldnt secure without him.
Wentz led them to a division title. Nick Foles is taking them to the Super Bowl.
Losing Wentz in Week 14 after the second-year quarterback had an MVP-caliber season was supposed to be a crippling blow to a team that had already lost nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, playmaking linebacker Jordan Hicks, versatile returner/running back Darren Sproles and special teams ace Chris Maragos.
But the Eagles are one victory away from the franchises first NFL title since 1960 thanks to key contributions from several backups.
Its the next-man-up mentality, coach Doug Pederson said Monday. It also means that you have some veteran players that keep things together, and good coaching staffs. I think its a tribute to the players and everyone involved that they can keep things going even through that adversity.
Foles led the way with a spectacular performance in a 38-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game . He threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns while joining Joe Montana as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to complete 75 percent of their passes in consecutive playoff games.
We lean on each other and we play for each other and thats whats special about this team, Foles said. Theres never going to be a time when were going to turn on each other. Were always going to be there to support each other and thats the beautiful thing about the Philadelphia Eagles.
Even team owner Jeffery Lurie couldnt have predicted this success.
It surprised me because of all the injuries, Lurie said. The resiliency among this group is phenomenal.
Sproles, one of the best returners in league history and a major part of the offense 49ers Weston Richburg Jersey , tore his left ACL and broke his right forearm on the same play against the Giants in the home opener on Sept. 24.
The team signed Kenjon Barner to replace him on punts and rookie Corey Clement has stepped up to fill Sproles role as a third down specialist.
Maragos tore his right PCL at Carolina on Oct. 12. The unit struggled without him until Bryan Braman re-signed with the team in December.
Peters tore his right ACL and MCL in a Monday night game against the Redskins on Oct. 23. Halapoulivaati Vaitai replaced him in the starting lineup and has improved with more playing time.
Vaitai gained valuable experience as a rookie last year filling in for Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson when he was suspended 10 games.
Had a lot of confidence in (Vaitai), Pederson said. These are obviously the things weve seen in him: his maturity, his growth as a left tackle.
Hicks ruptured his right Achilles in the same game Peters went down. It was a big loss because Hicks calls the defensive signals and is a playmaker. He has seven interceptions and five fumble recoveries in 31 games.
Joe Walker and Najee Goode replaced him initially before the Eagles signed former Ravens starter Dannell Ellerbe to take his spot. Ellerbe missed the victory over Minnesota because of a hamstring injury and Goode was beat on a touchdown pass in the first quarter.
I think thats what makes it more special with these guys, Pederson said. You start losing some of your top players to injury. You just kind of see the fight in the guys and the resiliency in the guys. The guys just keep battling. For us to believe in one another and to be now in this spot, Im just so happy for those guys, and hats off to them.

Give the Lock Legion a Cookie for Good Effort!
At least it ain't spam.
Most crews on Newgrounds get type-casted into delivering said refuse but this is actually okay. It's a cartoon, with a plot, punchlines, tension, and some absurdity.
In "LL-Awards", Samegame Lock has produced a good chunk of flask material but is at odds with the Legion's recognition. Can Sunshine Lock assuage the wounded ego of one of his growing talents?
This is a good demonstration of a sit-com episode and not of a typical crew submission. It is small in size and to the point. It even features a workable running gag, a sort of non sequitur corresponding to a character's perceived involvement and actual inclination. It's a nice callback that served as mortar between all these little bricks, and is a handy example for other flash artists, including those who are leery of a crew's inconsistent portfolio.
Some of the music could have been changed so as not to risk copyright issues but it fit the mood in what I could call "flawless dissonance". Typical "Speakonia" voices dub the whole experience, although I have noticed several instances where the subtitles do not exactly follow what is heard. If subtitles are meant to help deaf people enjoy the Flash, then it better be accurate. I doubt they are intended to be a gag in themselves, judging by their presentation in the Flash. Profanity was pervasive, as if the comedy leaned upon it being like that. While the Flash has the timing and it can crack plenty of smiles and laughs, some might consider an excess of profanity as a writer's crutch and vote lower than they normally would.
Also, the pronunciation of "Samegame" was botched by the Speakonia. I think it's supposed to be pronounced as the two words Same and Game. If that were the case, typing the name with a hyphen between the words might help ("Same-Game"). Then again, I might be wrong in how it is properly pronounced.
In all, "LL--Awards" delivers some good comic mischief in a short run and demonstrates Flash's ability to generate a silly cartoon with just a few props, tweens, and rhythmic timing. There are plenty of flaws, but rough diamonds are worth more than rocks any day.
[Note - the use of the "F" word more than once, along with general pervasive language, demands a "Mature" or "R" rating for the cartoon. Nothing personal here, just adhering to MPAA guidelines. It might be a good idea to switch the "T" rating to the "M" just to better represent the content.]

Warrior Prince (The Story of Lord Rama) -- Animated Ramayana
Animated Ramayana: Warrior Prince is a $12 million-dollar film based upon the Ramayana. It's a 170-minute action packed, feature film that explores the animation style called "FUSION" which consists of 3 different schools of animation: Manga from Japan, Disney from the USA and Ravi Varma from India. Directed and conceived by Japanese master filmmaker YUGO SAKO, The Legend of Lord Rama is based on Valmiki's Ramayana treasured Indian epic.
The Ramayana comprises about 24,000 Slokas (verses) in Sanskrit and is one of the two great epics of ancient India - the other being Mahabharata. The story of Ramayana was orally handed down from one generation to the other from around 10th century B.C. and it is said that the poet Valmiki gave its present shape around 200 A.D.
* Warrior Prince was awarded Best Animation Film of the Year - Santa Clarita International Film Festival - 2000
* Warrior Prince was honored as Opening Film - Lucca Animation Film Festival in Italy - 2000
* Warrior Prince was shown as a work in progress at Toronto Film Festival
* Warrior Prince was the highlight of the Cardiff Animation Film Festival - UK
* Warrior Prince is a $12 million production featuring the amazing and sophisticated Fusion style of animation!
Directed and conceived by Japanese master filmmaker YUGO SAKO, The Legend of Lord Rama is based on Valmiki's Ramayana treasured Indian epic. This stunning FUSION animation features narration by James Earl Jones and music by Academy Award winner Alan Howarth and Vanraj Bhatia.
In the Ramayana, the hero, Rama, lived his whole life by the rules of righteousness. Prince Rama was the eldest of four sons and was to become king when his father retired from ruling. His stepmother, however, wanted to see her son Bharata, Rama's younger brother, become king. Remembering that the king had once promised to grant her any two wishes she desired, she demanded that Rama be banished and Bharata be crowned. The king had to keep his word to his wife and ordered Rama's banishment. Rama accepted the decree unquestioningly. When Sita, Rama's devoted and chaste wife, heard Rama was to be banished, she begged to accompany him to his forest retreat. Rama agreed, and Rama, Sita and his brother Lakshmana all went to the forest to live in exile for 14 years. Later in the story, when Ravana, the evil King of Lanka, abducted Sita, Rama mustered the aid of an army of monkey soldiers to built a causeway across to Lanka to released Sita and bring her safely back to Ayodhya.

I began my 30 day experiment with the Carnivore Diet today. Most of this day was spent getting my head straight and figuring out the eating. I only had ground beef in the house, so that's what I opted for all day. I will get some chicken and turkey as well to bring in some variety. I had been having one granola bar a day and that craving kicked in around 1:30 pm. I resisted the urge and stuck to the meat only. You can see exactly what I ate below. I drank a bunch of water today. It is always interesting to see how bloating is handled when water consumption is kept at a high level. I find that bloating decreases as water is flushed from my system. I am adding Real Salt by putting 1 teaspoon full into my mouth and washing it down with water. The extra salt is recommended because of electrolyte losses. It is NOT recommended to simply add it to your water because, as one expert says, that's like drinking sweat.
I expect the first week of this experiment to be the most difficult judging by past experiments. Once I've been doing something for 1 week straight it just gets easier and easier for me.
My plan is to see how this approach works for me. If it works well, after the 30 days I will add in vegetables and the occasional starchy carb (right before weight training). If this works, I can see sticking to this long term with those added vegetables. I am also closely monitoring my blood pressure through all of this.
The carnivore diet is supposed to help with a lot of different ailments.
I started at 266.8 lbs. I am going to weigh myself daily, not because I care about the scale weight, but for scientific reasons. I want to see how my weight fluctuates each day when measured at the same time each day.
What I Ate and Drank
|6 am
|I drank 44 ounces of water and added 1 teaspoon of Real Salt. The electrolytes will be needed as I deplete.
|8 am
|I ate 3 eggs and 4 ounces of ground beef. I had Bulletproof coffee (10 oz of coffee, 1 teaspoon of Keri Gold unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of MCT oil). 44 ounces of water.
|12 pm
|I ate 8 ounces of ground beef, 2 slices of cheese. 44 ounces of water and added 1 teaspoon of Real Salt. The electrolytes will be needed as I deplete.
|5 pm
|I ate 8 ounces of ground beef. 44 ounces of water.
|8 pm
|I ate 4 ounces of ground beef. 44 ounces of water.
|10 pm
|2 Cheese Head String Cheese sticks
I did not weight train today. I took the dog for a very long walk. I used my Apple Watch to insure my heart rate was kept at a higher number. It was a nice cardio session. My plan is to do another cardio session in the morning and then on Wednesday I will attack the weights. That will be after 2 full days on this plan, so I am hoping to feel something different. Only time will tell.

Taylor Steed kicked a 21-yard field goal in overtime Friday to lift Logan Elm past Canal Winchester 16-13 and earn the program's first perfect regular season.
The Braveswon the MSL-Buckeye Division title outright at 7-0. Canal Winchester fell to 9-1 and 6-1.
"I'm so happy for the kids because they had to endure an 0-10 season last year and that's not something you ever want to go through," Logan Elm coach Scott Bartholomew said. "For them to turn it around like that and be the only team in school history to go 10-0 is just amazing."
Canal Winchester held a 7-0 lead at halftime but Logan Elm scored on a 15-yard run by Steed on its first possession of the second half to tie game.
The Indians responded on their next possession with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Justin Whitlatch to Tyler Thompson. A failed extra-point attempt by Tyler Shryock left the score at 13-6 with four minutes left in the third quarter.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Canal Winchester was forced to punt from its own 23-yard line. Matt Romanowski's punt was blocked by Chris Eversole, who picked the ball up at the 3-yard line and ran it in for a touchdown. A high snap on the extra-point attempt left the scored tied at 13.
The Indians did a have a chance for a score late in the fourth quarter when they recovered a muffed punt at the Logan Elm 33-yard line. Five plays later Dom Cosby was running the ball across the 15-yard line when he fumbled, and Logan Elm recovered.
Canal Winchester started overtime with the ball but the Indians quickly were stopped and faced a fourth-and-12 from the Logan Elm 22. The Indians decided to try a 40-yard field goal by Shryock, but his attempt hit the crossbar and fell into the end zone.
"You know our playbook for fourth-and-12 isn't too great, so we decided to kick the ball," Canal Winchester coach Phil Mauro said. "It looked pretty good when it came off his foot, but 40 yards, that's a great distance."
CW-Mainella 10 run (Shryock kick)
LE-Steed 15 run (Steed kick)
CW-Thompson 16 pass from Whitlatch (kick failed)
LE-Eversole 3 blocked punt return (kick failed)

Canon Developing New 'Slow' Supertelephoto Lens For 2016?
In an interesting bit of rumor mill chatter, it appears that Canon is in the process of developing a new super-telephoto lens for a 2016 release.
That's right. If you believe the latest rumor buzz, Canon is developing a new super-telephoto lens and the catch is that its aperture is slower than F/4. It is also apparently NOT a Canon 400mm F/5.6 replacement, but an entirely new lens altogether.
Unfortunately, this is where the information on this rumored lens stops. Basically, all we 'know' is that the lens is coming in 2016, is slower than F/4, and is not a 400mm F/5.6 replacement lens. Oh, and it is expected to be 'affordable' – though by Canon standards, who know what that means.
Personally, if I were to dream, I would love something along the lines of 400-600F/5.6 zoom lens. That would be an epic birding and wildlife lens for the budget minded photographer. I could settle for a 600mm F/5.6, assuming it was sharp, and the image quality was superb.
I can hear the scream for a new 50mm F/1.4 already…
What are your thoughts on this rumor? Would you like to see a 'slow & affordable' super-tele lens from Canon in 2016? Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!

Something a political party wants desperately is usually one of the key things that defines them. It's something they have to accept if offered. And thus it can also be the deadliest of traps.
A clever politician who needs support should always be able to lure opponents into the pit they dig for themselves. In the Coalition the Liberal Democrats walked into exactly that dead-end on the AV referendum and on Lords Reform. Due reflection on the coalition negotiation might have said they could have dropped those conditions (in the knowledge they were a poisoned chalice) for a real achievement – a real and serious reform of local government for instance, even PR for local government.
The referendum should have been such a trap for the SNP. Instead, the folly of the range of concessions and abnegations in the Edinburgh agreement made it an opportunity. I would like to think the Tory leadership might have learned painfully that they did not cage a beast but unleashed it. I would like to think so, sadly I fear that the Tory leadership in Sir Harold Acton's wonderful phrase about the Bourbons of Naples 'Remembers nothing and forgets nothing'.
But let us assume some glimmer of intelligence lurks in the higher echelons of the Tory party. Perhaps it might think like this…
We roughly know, for all the sound and fury, the results of the General Election. Neither Tory nor Labour party will be able to form a government. The SNP will have gained a large number of seats, the Liberal Democrats lost seats. At the edges UKIP may gain a few, and Plaid and the Greens may colour in a bit more of the map a different shade. We know too that paradoxically the referendum did clarify something. It clarified the Unionist offer as the Smith Commission, it closed down the SNP demand to Full Fiscal Autonomy. So we actually now have two clear offers on the table rather than the vague fuzz of 'yes' and 'no'. The SNP have also clarified that they believe constitutional change should take place by referendum.
We are gambling for very high stakes here but we have little option but so to do. The loathing that the SNP and Labour feel for each other mean that any deal between them on confidence and supply carries little credibility. Labour cannot offer Full Fiscal Autonomy in the knowledge that its power base, weakened and corroded in Scotland would inevitably be lost forever as there would indeed have to be serious adjustments in voting rights in Westminster. For a Tory leader already irrelevant in Scotland this is surely the opportunity to offer what Labour cannot.
If he or she were wise they might choose to address all the issues of English local government, Wales and Scotland and put that to one binding referendum across the UK, a referendum with a time lock before which it cannot be revisited. However perhaps that is too ambitious. If they chose to be more limited they could say to the SNP with perfect legitimacy the following.
• They will draw up two alternative schemes of legislation, one based on Smith, one on FFA. Either of these is highly complex. Both require full costings and both require radical changes to the way the UK tax system works (at the moment as we know many of the revenue and income projections are exactly that – guesstimates – as the UK does not collect tax data in a way that makes apportionment easy).
• They should point out that Full Fiscal Autonomy will require the Scottish government to take on board the full cost of all the other hidden subsidies universal service provision gives Scotland. The cost for instance of a country that has 15% of the UK's www.cgfp.org/buy-paxil-online/ rail miles yet only pays its population share of the maintenance of that track – a gap of some £200-£300 million. The cost of a postal service across a landmass half the size of England and Wales with a tenth of the population. The cost of the BBC transmitters. The cost of the electricity grid. The cost of wind subsidy. And so it goes on.
• Of course Scotland's aging population will mean too increased pension transfers and contributions which will have to be factored in. And when the exercise is completed the Scottish government will be obliged to come up with a scheme for how it is going to attain a break-even budget in the new scenario. It cannot of course run a substantial deficit as part of the sterling zone and I am sure the British government would be entirely reasonable and offer a transition period (at a price of course) of perhaps three to five years for the Scottish government to implement the savage cuts and tax increases necessary to get to fiscal balance.
• At the end of this period – a period of work of at least three years I suspect, given the huge complexity that needs to be resolved – a Tory government will then offer the people of Scotland a further referendum on two fully and independently costed proposals – Smith and FFA. It will offer it on condition that such a result is binding for a period of a generation, that if the people of Scotland vote for Smith the Scottish government is required to implement all of Smith including massive reforms to Holyrood and a full democratic reform of Scottish local government (these parts of Smith to be fully fleshed out).
• Crucially, it will offer the above on condition that the SNP support – in all divisions – a Tory government in England for the full term of the Parliament.
Come the referendum the Tory party has a wonderful luxury – it can split quite happily between those ideologues of the right who want shot of Scotland in the happy knowledge that the more they campaign for the SNP proposal the less and less credible that proposal seems. And its moderates can campaign for Smith and save the Union. Either way it wins. I would so enjoy George Osborne coming up to Scotland and congratulating the SNP on proposing to inflict a level of austerity on Scotland he, as a Tory, would never dare do.
And what can the SNP do? They are being offered the chance of the thing they desperately want. They cannot reject the idea of the use of a referendum for major constitutional change. It was their idea. And can they reject the Tory offer which gives them the one chance of what they want without losing all credibility?
For the Tories the offer comes with a Westminster price, no one would expect otherwise. And for five years the SNP will have to grit their teeth to support a Tory government on its key measures. The timescale too for this whole process is perfectly legitimate given the scale of what is being undertaken, nothing less than a full overhaul of the operation of the British state.
If Scotland votes for FFA the cause of Union was lost whatever we did and RUK has effectively negotiated a very advantageous financial settlement. If Scotland votes for Smith the cause of Nationalism is this time definitively silenced with the lock on further change for a generation and a Nationalist party who has to face the polls in Scotland having propped up the 'hated' Tories.
It is indeed the offer of a poisoned chalice. But it is one they must drink.

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, Home Remedies
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, Home Remedies
What is a thoracic aortic aneurysm?
A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a ballooning of a portion of the aorta, the largest artery in the human body. Aneurysms are the result of weakening and thinning of the aortic wall. When a portion of it stretches and swells to more than 50 percent of the original diameter, this is called an aneurysm. Aneurysms in the thoracic or chest portion of the aorta are relatively rare.
A thoracic aortic aneurysm may also be called thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection (TAAD) because an aneurysm can lead to a tear in the artery wall (dissection) that can cause life-threatening bleeding. Small and slow-growing thoracic aortic aneurysms may not ever rupture, but large, fast-growing aneurysms may.
Depending on the size and growth rate of your thoracic aortic aneurysm, treatment may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery. Ideally, surgery for a thoracic aortic aneurysm can be planned if necessary.
Thoracic aneurysms are less common than abdominal ones. In some individuals with a thoracic aortic aneurysm, an underlying cause is Marfan's Syndrome, a connective-tissue disorder that results in the characteristic weakening of the aortic wall. Other TAAs may be related to hypertension. In this case, the increased blood pressure is responsible for breaking down the elasticity of the aorta.
What causes a thoracic aortic aneurysm?
Thoracic aortic aneurysms are most often caused by atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries that damages the artery's walls. While your arteries are normally smooth on the inside, as you age they can develop atherosclerosis. When atherosclerosis occurs, a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. Over time, excess plaque causes the aorta to stiffen and weaken.
Your risk for atherosclerosis increases if you:
- Are a smoker
- Have high blood pressure
- Have high cholesterol
- Are overweight
Have a family history of cardiovascular or peripheral vascular disease (a narrowing of the blood vessels)
Certain diseases can also weaken the layers of the aortic wall and increase the risk of thoracic aortic aneurysms, including:
- Marfan syndrome (a genetic connective tissue disorder)
- Other non-specific connective tissue disorders (characterized by a family history of aneurysms)
- Presence of a bicuspid aortic valve
- Syphilis
- Tuberculosis
Rarely, trauma, such as a severe fall or car accident can cause a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
As you age, your risk of developing a thoracic aortic aneurysm increases. More men than women are diagnosed with thoracic aortic aneurysms, and are often affected with the condition at a younger age.
Recent research indicates that a substantial amount of aneurysms have familial patterns, or are inherited from previous generations. It is important to tell your physician if there is a history of aortic aneurysms in your family to ensure that the best preventative screenings are completed.
What are the symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm?
Aneurysms develop slowly over many years. Most patients have no symptoms until the aneurysm begins to leak or expand. The aneurysm may be found only when imaging tests are done for other reasons.
Symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm often begin suddenly when:
- The aneurysm grows quickly
- The aneurysm tears open (called a rupture)
- Blood leaks along the wall of the aorta (aortic dissection)
If the aneurysm presses on nearby structures, the following symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm may occur:
- Hoarseness
- Swallowing problems
- High-pitched breathing (stridor)
- Swelling in the neck
Other symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm may include:
- Chest or upper back pain
- Clammy skin
- Nausea and vomiting
- Rapid heart rate
- Sense of impending doom
When to see a doctor
Most people with aortic aneurysms do not have symptoms unless a tear (dissection) or rupture has occurred. A rupture or dissection is a medical emergency. Call your local emergency number for immediate assistance.
If an aneurysm ruptures or one or more layers of the artery wall splits (dissection), you may feel:
- Sharp, sudden pain in the upper back that radiates downward
- Pain in your chest, jaw, neck or arms
- Difficulty breathing
If you have a family history of aortic aneurysm, Marfan syndrome or other connective tissue disease, or bicuspid aortic valve, your doctor may recommend regular ultrasound exams to screen for aortic aneurysm.
Who is affected by thoracic aortic aneurysms?
Thoracic aortic aneurysms affect approximately 15,000 people in the United States each year.
Up to 47,000 people die each year from all types of aortic disease; more than from breast cancer, AIDS, homicides, or motor vehicle accidents, making aortic disease a silent epidemic.
Is a thoracic aortic aneurysm serious?
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a serious health risk because, depending on its location and size, it may rupture or dissect (tear), causing life-threatening internal bleeding. When detected in time, a thoracic aortic aneurysm can often be repaired with surgery or other less invasive techniques.
Small aneurysms place one at increased risk for:
- Atherosclerotic plaque (fat and calcium deposits) formation at the site of the aneurysm
- A clot (thrombus) may form at the site and dislodge, increasing the chance of strokeIncrease in the aneurysm size, causing it to press on other organs, causing pain
- Aortic dissection, or tearing of the layers of the aorta, a potentially fatal complication and a medical emergency.
- Aneurysm rupture, because the artery wall thins at this spot, it is fragile and may burst under stress. A sudden rupture of an aortic aneurysm may be life threatening and is a medical emergency
What is an aortic dissection?
Aortic dissection occurs when the layers of the aorta tear and separate from each other. The presence of an aortic aneurysm increases your risk of having an aortic dissection, but aortic dissection can also occur in people with a normal sized aorta.
Aortic dissection can occur suddenly, causing severe sharp, tearing pain in your chest or upper back. Yet, like all types of aneurysms, there may be no symptoms of an aortic dissection.
Most commonly associated with high blood pressure, an aortic dissection forces the layers of the wall of the aorta apart through increased blood flow. If not treated early, aortic dissection weakens the aorta and can lead to a thoracic aortic aneurysm by causing the weakened area of the aorta to bulge like a balloon, stretching the aorta.
If you do experience any symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, notify your physician immediately. If left untreated, these conditions could lead to a fatal rupture.
How is a thoracic aortic aneurysm diagnosed?
Early diagnosis of a thoracic aneurysm is critical to managing the condition. The larger the thoracic aortic aneurysm, or the faster it grows, the more likely it is to rupture. The risk of rupture increases when the aneurysm is larger than about twice the normal diameter of a healthy aorta blood vessel.
Diagnosing a thoracic aneurysm is difficult because often there are no symptoms, and often the condition goes undiagnosed until a rupture occurs. If a thoracic aortic aneurysm is suspected, your physician may order the following tests:
- Chest x-ray
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Echocardiography (an ultrasound of the heart)
- Abdominal ultrasound (to look for associated abdominal aneurysms)
- Angiography (an x-ray of the blood vessels)
Treatments and drugs for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
The goal of treatment is to prevent your aneurysm from rupturing. Generally, your treatment options are medical monitoring or surgery. Your decision depends on the size of the aortic aneurysm and how fast it's growing.
Medical monitoring
If your thoracic aortic aneurysm is small, your doctor may recommend medical monitoring, which includes regular appointments to make sure your aneurysm isn't growing, and management of other medical conditions that could worsen your aneurysm.
It's likely your doctor will order regular imaging tests to check on the size of your aneurysm. Expect to have an echocardiogram at least six months after your aneurysm is diagnosed and regular exams and imaging tests after that.
If you have high blood pressure or blockages in your arteries, it's likely that your doctor will prescribe medications to lower your blood pressure and reduce your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of complications from your aneurysm. These medications could include:
- Beta blockers. Beta blockers lower your blood pressure by slowing your heart rate. Examples of beta blockers include metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), atenolol (Tenormin) and bisoprolol (Zebeta).
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers. Your doctor may also prescribe these medications if beta blockers aren't enough to control your blood pressure or if you can't take beta blockers. These medications are recommended for people who have Marfan syndrome, even if they don't have high blood pressure. Examples of angiotensin II receptor blockers include losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan) and olmesartan (Benicar).
- Statins. These medications can help lower your cholesterol, which can help reduce blockages in your arteries and reduce your risk of aneurysm complications. Examples of statins include atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor) and others.
Blood pressure should be less than 140/90 millimeters of mercury. The goal for cholesterol is to have low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" type of cholesterol) under 70 milligrams per deciliter.
If you smoke or chew tobacco, it's important that you quit. Using tobacco can worsen your aneurysm.
Surgery to prevent rupture
If you have a thoracic aortic aneurysm, surgery is generally recommended if your aneurysm is about 1.9 to 2.4 inches (5 to 6 centimeters) and larger. If you have Marfan syndrome, another connective tissue disease or a family history of aortic dissection, your doctor may recommend surgery for smaller aneurysms because you have a higher risk of having an aortic dissection.
Depending on your condition and the location of your thoracic aortic aneurysm, your doctor may recommend:
- Open chest surgery. Open chest surgery to repair a thoracic aortic aneurysm involves removing the damaged section of the aorta and replacing it with a synthetic tube (graft), which is sewn into place. This procedure requires open abdominal or open chest surgery, and it will take you a month or more to fully recover.
- Endovascular surgery. Doctors attach a synthetic graft to the end of a thin tube (catheter) that's inserted through an artery in your leg and threaded up into your aorta. The graft — a woven tube covered by a metal mesh support — is placed at the site of the aneurysm and fastened in place with small hooks or pins. The graft reinforces the weakened section of the aorta to prevent rupture of the aneurysm. Recovery time is generally faster with this procedure than with open surgery, but endovascular surgery can't be done on everyone. After endovascular surgery, you'll need to have regular follow-up imaging scans to ensure that the graft isn't leaking.
- Other heart surgeries. If another condition is contributing to your aneurysm's development, such as a problem with your heart's valves, your doctor may recommend additional surgeries to repair or replace the damaged valves to stop your aneurysm from worsening.
Emergency surgery
Although it's possible to repair a ruptured aortic aneurysm with emergency surgery, the risk is much higher and there is less chance of survival.
Possible Complications of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Serious complications after aortic surgery can include:
- Bleeding
- Graft infection
- Heart attack
- Irregular heartbeat
- Kidney damage
- Paralysis
- Stroke
Death soon after the operation occurs in 5 - 10% of patients.
Complications after aneurysm stenting include damage to the blood vessels supplying the leg, which may require another operation.
Prevention and Home Remedies for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
If you've been diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm, your doctor will likely advise you to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous physical activity as these can increase blood pressure, putting additional pressure on your aneurysm. If you want to participate in a particular activity, ask your doctor if it would be possible to perform an exercise stress test to see how much exercise raises your blood pressure.
Stress can also raise your blood pressure, so try to avoid conflict and stressful situations as much as possible. If you're going through a particularly emotional time in your life, let your doctor know because your medications may need to be adjusted to keep your blood pressure levels from going too high.
There are no medications you can take to prevent an aortic aneurysm, although taking medications to control your blood pressure and cholesterol level may reduce your risk of having complications from a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
For now the best approach to prevent an aortic aneurysm or keep an aneurysm from worsening is to keep your blood vessels as healthy as possible. That means taking these steps:
- Don't use tobacco products.
- Keep your blood pressure under control.
- Get regular exercise.
- Reduce cholesterol and fat in your diet.
If you have some risk factors for aortic aneurysm, talk to your doctor. If you are at risk, your doctor may recommend additional measures, including medications to lower your blood pressure and relieve stress on weakened arteries. You may also want to consider screening echocardiograms every few years.

Yo... Finally blog without specs.. Yippy... Doctor said my eye sight is 6/6 now...however, didn't achieve beyond perfect... It's ok ba... Only 3-5% able to achieve that...
The procedures are very scary! Glad that it's done.. It was very painful after the anesthetic gone.... Went to take the magic nap and everything was ok after that... Miracle..
Dr lee is very nice, polite and friendly... The staffs there are very good too..great service! Highly recommended for people who wants to do lasik... I seldom praise doctors one.. If I praise means he's really good!
The benefit of blogging is you can find back the information that you had written if you have forgetten about it...was looking for a post and chance upon posts that I had written years ago..
Looks like last time he really treated me very good... Now it's like worlds apart... A man no matter old or young, handsome or ugly are the same..They changed after certain years....
Very dissapointed....
He no longer a person whom I can trust and rely on anymore..
Sometimes, I really hope he did something wrong out there so that I have valid reason to leave for good without feeling guilty for my boy...
Now, for the sake of my boy, I have to endure all this shit..
Don't think he will understand this..
A good husband makes a good wife... If you think I treat you like shit, then think back on how you treated me! Did u ever play your role as a husband?
Even my colleague is sweeter during last festive season...
Like this..handmade de.. Lolx..
Glad that I've settled some important stuffs during my break...
Was so busy or "busy", my holidays just flew away..
It's time to work hard again..
Recently, keeps having insomnia... Woke up at odd hours like 3am or 4am.. What is wrong with me? ... Felt so tired..
Maybe because of all the unhappiness... When will I ever achieve pure happiness?
At least looking at this makes me feel lil better.. Thank you son!
Brandon always want to carry him.. Haha..
So funny but why my boy so moody?
First time sit on baby chair guai guai..
Cranky boy doesn't like to be carried in carrier..
Gum itchy..
Poor boy "inherited" my bad genes...allergy... Sobs... Now he rubs eyes, rub nose and scratch head... Skin easily got rashes etc... :(
Happy that he finally can walk.. But still walk like penguin .. Haha..
But he hasn't call me mummy yet! When you want to call me ah boy boy?!
And this is really hilarious!
And finally why I no strike toto!!????

Mansfield Town will publish a matchday programme next season, despite Football League clubs being given the option of not doing.
The regulation stating clubs must produce a programme was amended at the EFL's annual general meeting at its summer conference.
But a spokesman for Mansfield Town said: "The Stags have committed to the production of its award-winning matchday programme for next season."
Last season Mansfield Town won the Programme Of The Year award for Sky Bet League Two, chosen by Programme Monthly, which said: "Mansfield's programme is quality on all fronts."
It was the first time the Stags had won the League Two award, after finishing runner-up 12 months earlier.
The programme, called The Stag, was also named best programme by Sports Trader magazine in 2016/2017.

A letter from the editor - It's everybody's concern
- Charles County,St Mary's County,Calvert County
- By Marty Madden
Hollywood, MD - Early Tuesday morning, July 5 brought with it the bad news that a local woman had been the victim of a violent confrontation with a man she knew.
Despite the best efforts of responders and doctors the woman died a few hours later. Thanks to the quick work of law enforcement, the suspect was apprehended hours after the incident and is facing murder charges.
From what we are learning about the suspect, he had a violent past and very often women were his victims.
Sadly, domestic violence is commonplace in Southern Maryland. Even sadder, when domestic arguments that turn physical are reported by this news service it's the messenger, not the perpetrator, who gets berated by the public. In their anger, both victims and perpetrators have called The BayNet demanding that stories about these confrontations with bad results be purged from our pages. "Go report some real news" or "this is a private matter" or "you are ruining lives" are a sampling of what we hear.
Let me explain why this is real news and the matter isn't private. A slap in the face, a cut on the arm, a punch in the nose etc. might seem like a script for a cheap comedy sketch but in real life there is nothing funny about it. If such behavior is condoned or dismissed it has the potential to eventually escalate. If law enforcement is summoned, a report is filed and charges are pressed—guess what? The matter is no longer private. Cops are paid by taxpayers and they are dealing with a dispute among individuals on the public's dime.
Sure, there are two sides to every story and whoever was charged will have their day in court to tell a judge their side of the story. Of course, the victim may decide to recant the original story and get the charges dropped. The matter shouldn't end there. This would be an appropriate time for friends and family of the recanting victim to be on guard because history could repeat itself. At the same time, the aggressor who is now off the hook needs to seize the opportunity to seek help for his or herself. There is solid evidence an anger management issue needs to be addressed at once.
Thankfully, after centuries of regarding domestic violence as a private, family matter, society—through its law-making, law enforcement and judicial system—has opened its blind eye and is becoming intolerant of any behavior that has the potential to get uglier.
Another accused abuser is now behind bars and awaiting his day in court. Sadly, another victim is to be buried. Those who regard domestic issues as private must now seriously ponder whether this could have been avoided.
Peace to the family of the victim.
This letter does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of The Baynet.

The Rorke/Myeni link
The task of trying to identify the particular Myeni Chief, whose daughtere was given in marriage to James Michael Rorke could only be tackled once we were back in South Africa in 2007.
Late in 2007 I was introduced to the "Killie Campbell Museum" in Marriott Road, Durban.
The museum is set in one of the old stately Durban homes, high on the Berea, and forms part of the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal.
It was here that I obtained the lead on Charles Edmund Andrew Green, and once again, purely by chance I was given a lead that would set me on the trail of the Myeni Tribes history.
Siyabonga Mkhize, a researcher employed at the museum, hearing about my quest for information on the Myeni, gave me a map he had been researching on the various tribes of South Africa that pinpointed the Myeni as being settled in the District of Ubombo around 1820.
He also gave me an introduction to Ms. Sbongile Mhhlongo at the Dept. of Local Government and Traditional Affairs in Pietermaritzburg.
A visit to her office in October 2008 produced a wealth of information on the Myeni tribe from the early 1700`s to the present day.
I am indebted to Sbongile for this information, and to Siyabonga for the introduction.
Some of the information is contradictory, but you must remember that the Zulu`s, like many African tribes, had no written language at that time, and information was kept by "story tellers" who would recount the complete history of their tribe from memory, (Often embellished with their own interpretation).
Depending upon which story teller English or Afrikaans officials were listening to could determine the nature of the records made.

"So Far So Fast" by Jenee Halstead
In their first collaboration, Boston's acclaimed artist Jenee Halstead teamed up with AMVFilms to launch her first professional music video, So Far So Fast. The track is featured on her album Raised by Wolves, available on iTunes. A far cry from her traditional folk sound, Jenee brought her entire creative arsenal into the mix for this hard-rock alternative track!
The music video was directed by Armen Varadian, filmed in Norwood and Walpole, MA. No houses were actually burned down in the making of this video, just a little hay-fever! Stay tuned for future collaborations with AMVFilms!

… but not really.
This blog doesn't get nearly enough views for me to put advertisements up, but if I did, I would be getting paid just because you're reading this. This is part of the reason Facebook makes money- not a lot, granted, but Facebook is currently worth a few billion dollars. For every page on which an ad is shown, the proprietor of a website will make a few cents. Given the number of ads on each page, and the number of viewers, this can add up fairly quickly.
So why don't we use ads to pay for more? In a sense, we already do. Twitter shows 'promoted' feeds that pay for more views even though you might not subscribe to the sender. I once heard a great quote that went something like "If you do not pay for a product or service, you are the product being sold." Essentially, this is true. Free services like most e-mail servers, website hosting (including, dear friends, my blog), social networking and other such web-based platforms are all fueled by advertisement revenue.
You'd figure, then, that with such widespread use of banner ads and whatnot on websites, we would be more than accustomed to seeing them everywhere. Why is it such a big deal that websites like Wikipedia don't want to sell advertising space? As far as I can tell, the only reason they could have to want to avoid it so badly is that they want to keep from seeming like their
information is tarnished by advertisers. Ay, there's the rub: if advertisers wanted to change their (or a competitor's) page on Wikipedia, they COULD! It doesn't take much to create a Wiki account and change a public page. In order to make money and pay their higher-ups, they need to do something. At present, they have fairly obnoxious ads (pictured at bottom) that very nearly beg readers to donate money in order to keep from putting ads at the top of each page. In my opinion, though, it would be less conspicuous and less annoying to have a few simple ads here and there than be pestered by "personal appeals" from higher ups for cash. I don't want to pay them, and as far as I can tell, neither do most Wiki users. Hire some advertising companies and leave us alone.

Fifo.library is a general fifo library implementation that supports named fifos, writing to a fifo from a hardware exception, multiple readers on a fifo with each getting the same data stream, efficient reading, and automatic or manual flow control. Programs that require non-blocking IO can access one side of a FIFO: connection via the fifo.library instead of the FIFO: handler. Includes source. Now programmers of getty, telnetd, remote shells etc.: stop writing custom DOS handlers and use fifo.library and FIFO: instead, you'll get all the benefits of a common handler. Emacs, AUUCP and other programs already use it. FIFO source might be of interest to programmers, topics include: o interactive DOS handler, CON/AUX: like o library creation, even with GCC+Libnix yet 1.3 compatible o deep use of GCC inlines and GCC-specific optimizations o usage of PA_SOFTINT port arrival action o usage of SIGB_SINGLE signal bit EXAMPLES NewShell FIFO:shell1/rwkecs Run >NIL: RemCLI shell1 Run >NIL: Type FIFO:shell1/rmt TO CON:0/11/500/150/Tee_output NEW FEATURES o corrected ACTION_WAIT_CHAR (with timeout). o corrected ACTION_SCREEN_MODE. o recognizes CONSOLE: o ACTION_CHANGE_SIGNAL, ACTION_IS_FILESYSTEM, ACTION_SEEK. o many error checks and error return codes. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OS 1.3 is still supported (untested).
