Texas Highway Wreck Still Under Investigation
A 100-vehicle pileup on a Texas highway Thanksgiving morning, which killed at least two people and injured as many as 120, is still under investigation.
CNN reported that the victims "were identified as Vincent Leggio, 64, and Debra Leggio, 60, both of Pearland, Texas. The two were killed when their vehicle was hit from behind by an 18-wheeler, the Department of Public Safety said."
The children of the Houston-area couple killed in the wreck said it was the family's first Thanksgiving apart, according to The Associated Press.
The wreck occurred on Interstate 10 southwest of Beaumont on Texas' Gulf Coast during heavy fog.

this week in my creative planner (last week of september 2017):
daddy mcGyver made them a pulley for their treehouse! well. it's not really a treehouse, but they sit on that tree and imagine the treehouse <3. we had this flagpole lying around (yup. we have the strangest stuff just hanging around), and he used it. i think he secretly wants to sit up there.
i asked them to go find me some chestnuts because i wanted to paint them. they came home. proudly! and handed me a bag of empty sleeves. GO kids :P
i did my daily walk (winning!) and we FINALLY found a couch we all 4 loved. or was it, that we were sick of looking and bought the first one we saw at IKEA. that might be a true story. who knows :P
and that's why keeping memory like this is so much fun. when i read this, it comes to mind directly, while otherwise i would have never ever remembered this. and i'm all about remembering it ALL. <3

In a thrilling 42-41 victory over rival Michigan, Ohio State had two of its players ejected during a second quarter brawl.
The fight started after Ohio State kick returner Dontre Wilson was tackled by a group of Michigan players. Michigan linebacker Royce ripped off Wilson's helmet, and Wilson responded by throwing a punch.
Several more players joined in on the pushing and shoving, and when the dust cleared and referees regained control Ohio State faced ejections of two key players —.Wilson and starting right guard Marcus Hall.
The Ohio State vs. Michigan brawl tainted an otherwise thrilling contest. Michigan scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the final coming with just 32 remaining on seconds left. Though the Wolverines could have tied the game with an extra point and likely sent the contest to overtime, they instead decided to go for a win with a two-point conversion.
Ohio State held tight, intercepting Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner on the play and holding on for the victory.
The Ohio State ejections might not be the end of disciplinary action for the brawl, the Big Ten announced after the game.
"The conference office will wait until after the game for the officials' written report, review the video and then take further action if needed," Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
Ohio State will face Michigan State in the Big Ten Football Championship Game on Saturday, December 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Both teams stand at 8-0 in the conference, the first time since 2002 and only second since 1943 that two Big Ten teams finished the season with perfect marks.
But if the Ohio State ejections turn into suspensions for Wilson and Hall, the Buckeyes could be at a disadvantage. Hall is an anchor on the offensive line, while Wilson is a dangerous return specialist, with 442 total kick return yards and a long of 51 yards.

Regardless of the outcome of yesterday's elections in Israel, Palestinians will most certainly lose.
While past elections focus on Iran or the economy, this campaign season the Israeli electorate is being fed a steady diet of anti-Palestinian toxicity. Historically Israelis have a tendency of voting for those with the most vile, intolerant and yet variedly repeated anti-Palestinians tropes.
Racism in the upper echelon of the Israeli government is a norm, however, embedded just as well deep within its institutional policies, the media, immigration rights, housing and legal policies. In fact, it all goes back to the time Israel was founded.
David Ben-Gurion, before becoming Israel's very first prime minister was a member of Haganah, a Jewish paramilitary group which played a key role in the ethnic cleansing of an estimated 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in during the 1948 war. Yet, he was elected not once but twice into office.
Menachem Begin, once described by Albert Einstein as a terrorist, was behind the July 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel, killing 91 people including 28 British citizens. Three decades later he was elected prime minister. Another former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir was also one of those jailed for the bombing, however Shamir's two-year imprisonment also did not impede his chances of winning higher office exactly four decades later.
During the first Lebanon war Menachem Begin referred to the Palestinians as "beasts walking on two legs," in a statement he delivered to the Knesset reported by the New Statesman in 1982, illustrating how state-sanctioned racism is evidently a mainstay at the highest level.
More recently in 2016, while visiting the construction site of a border fence between Gaza and Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the barrier was necessary because, "In our neighborhood, we need to protect ourselves from wild beasts," in reference to both Palestinians living under siege in Gaza and Arabs in neighboring countries.
Like the air, land and sea blockade in Gaza which Israel today vehemently denies exist, Golda Meir during her time as prime minister also pushed the despicable idea that Palestinians don't exist. In a recorded statement on 8 March 1969, Meir said, "It was not as if there was a Palestinian people in Palestine and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them. They did not exist". She later claimed she was misquoted,writing in the New York Times, "My actual words were: 'There is no Palestinian people. There are Palestinian refugees.'"
Then we have assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin who in April 1976, threw a banquet for John Vorster, the prime minister of Apartheid South Africa, expressing that in their "respective parts of the world," he said speaking of the broader Arab World in comparison to sub-Saharan Africa, both countries face "foreign-inspired instability and recklessness", heaping praise towards apartheid South Africa while chillingly hailing "the ideals shared by Israel and South Africa". Nevertheless Rabin too, found his way to higher office 16 years later.
It is of course, one thing to openly support apartheid states but quite another to transform into one.
Implementing zoning regulations, land seizures or expropriating Palestinian land essentially to achieve the same purpose as apartheid South Africa's Group Areas Act, Israel has ensured that Israeli settlers and exploited Palestinians populations live in separate and unequal communities.
As an example, Israel's Law of Return allows all Jews and persons with one Jewish grandparent to immigrate to Israel while Palestinian refugees who have been claiming a Right of Return for over 70 years are not eligible for citizenship.
Worse still, the Israeli government in 2018 passed a controversial nation-state law that egregiously states, "Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people and they have an exclusive right to national self-determination in it," further marginalizing Palestinian citizens. It also stipulates, "The state views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment," allowing the state to deepen support the establishment of Jewish-only communities.
To this end and credited for laying the brickwork for apartheid in Israel, Shimon Peres, the former prime minister and president was responsible for sanctioning of the first illegal settlement in the West Bank, one of the key root causes of why every single peace roadmap whenever proposed is almost perpetually stonewalled.
One may argue all this, however, pales in comparison to what came soon after in the form of a "bulldozer," as he was widely known in Israeli circles. Former prime minister and military general, Ariel Sharon was not only implicated for failing to prevent the September 1982 massacre by Christian Phalangists of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon but was forced to resign as minister of defense, as a result. Yet the right-wing hawk was ultimately elected Israel's prime minister two decades later.
Sharon also once said, "Arabs may have the oil, but we have the matches" and was told an Israeli radio station in a 1998 interview, "Everybody has to move; run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements, because everything we take now will stay ours. Everything we don't grab will go to them," illustrating how such a core expansionist belief may in fact be a key characteristic of almost every prime minister in Israel.
Therefore it should come to little surprise, Benny Gantz, the former Israeli army chief and the strongest contender against Netanyahu, in a series of election campaign videos featured tilted statistics such as "6,231 targets destroyed," and "1,364 terrorists killed" during the 2014 Gaza bombings, wearing the death toll as a badge of honor. In fact, 2,251 Palestinians were killed, including 1,462 civilians, among them 551 children, according to Amnesty International.
Evidently indifferent to a missing moral compass, his political party partner, Lt. General Moshe Ya'alon speaking at a May 2015 conference in Jerusalem was quoted saying, "If we don't intercept the rocket-launchers in advance, civilians will be hurt, if not killed. If we hit the launchers, it will hurt or kill Lebanese civilians."
Among others aspiring to win higher office later, Ayelet Shaked, Israel's Justice Minister in July 2014 re-published a quote she gave to a journalist who is a settler, advocating the Palestinian children of convicted terrorists should be killed because they are "little snakes." Shaked is no stranger to stoking controversies and recently featured in a video that punned fascism, which caused a swift backlash. A Haaretz columnist, however, explains Shaked best, calling her a "representative of an ideology unembarrassed by its racism".
These handful of statements above are only but in line with the tone and values of senior Israeli cabinet ministers and military officials, some of whom openly advocate racism, which they leveraged as a pathway to higher office.
Most frighteningly, none of these statements have ever been disowned by the official Israeli government let alone these dyed-in-the-wool hardliners aiming for higher office, as if being an ardent anti-Palestinian were a qualifying part of the job description.
In the end, some of these statements most frighteningly have either never been disowned, are sometimes disputed or whitewashing walk-backs issued. In either case, emboldening some of the most racist and expansionist members within Israel's dysfunctional political system. A state that evidently rewards dyed-in-the-wool hardliners aiming for higher office, proving time and again the merit of being an ardent anti-Palestinian is incontrovertibly a qualifying part of the job description.

Guardrails Please
The Bible has many references to shepherd and sheep. It was a common thing to see shepherd and sheep just about everywhere you went. Abraham, Moses, and David were all Shepherds. Shepherds were the first to arrive in Bethlehem to see the new born king. But because we don't have this familiarity with sheep and shepherds we can lose what the writers of scripture are trying to teach us. The Shepherd had 3 distinct roles which Jesus refers to in John 10. They were to protect, cultivate, and cherish.
Today we begin with protect.
You might remember the story of David and Goliath when David gave his resume to King Saul that he killed a Lion and a Bear who had tried to attack and kill the sheep he was entrusted to. David was the only protector the sheep had. Sheep have no mechanism to defend themselves. They have no speed, no sharp fang, and no poison. They have no alternative but to trust their protection to someone else. That is the Shepherds responsibility.
So in our homes we must protect. So does that mean we buy weapons and prepare for war? No we are fighting a different enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy. We protect in different ways.
Protecting your Marriage.
Your marriage needs protecting. You need to be on your guard. When marriages are destroyed, families are destroyed and everyone is effected. You protect by setting up guardrails. You set these far enough away from danger and sin that if you ever hit one you do very little damage to the marriage and prevent destruction. You need guardrails to govern what you do around people of the opposite sex you are not your spouse. I encourage you to sit down together and set some boundaries for your protection. Do NOT think you can do whatever you want without consequences. If you fail to set guardrails the enemy has a greater chance to destroy your marriage. You need to do this.
Protecting your Family
Protecting your marriage is protecting your family. But how are you helping your kids set up boundaries and guardrails. They want to fit in and be accepted and they will do almost anything to do that. You have to help them. They need guidance as they chose friends, begin dating, and decide what the future holds for them. You can either help them set guardrails are watch them crash and burn somewhere in their life. Normally we wake up when it is too late and damage has been done. Don't wait!! talk to your kids and help them establish guardrails. You'll be glad you did.
Let us not take lightly the protection we are to have in place. Let's defend what is worth fighting for.

Remember when Tarboo's last collection premiered at the creative new art junction, 1530 on Capitol Hill? The space's creative director Lucien Pellegrin renamed the space Lovecitylove and celebrated with an atypical fashion party in early February in which the deliciously modern white room was dressed with a cerulean blue paint splatter and a captivating display of Tarboo's latest collection of locally made totes and backpacks.
The art/retail installation featured the brand's original canvas totes and backpacks, along with their latest edition blanket and leather carryalls. More of a clutch carrier? Stay tuned for Tarboo's second drop of this line; we'll let you know when it hits.
The Lovecitylove launch was full of Seattle notables; we ran into Seattle Art Museum Director for Education and Public Programs, Sandra Jackson-Dumont and one half of the rap duo TheeSatisfaction. Now that your eyes are open to it, you'll see more bold-face names and stylish types sporting the sacks around town.

Dear ,
have two questions:
1: how to freeze pans or row/column in JMP like what we do in excel ?
2: for the subset table, usually from one master table, I create different subset based on my study purpose and save it in different name, from there do some graph plotting accordingly. this situation usually give me many different tables
there is a software which just need save the master table (including all rows), you can create your owner subset as different name, said "purpose 1" "Purpose 2" , under the master table subset selection, you can choose the subset , then the master table will only show the subset data and the corresponding plotting will appear (just like, one table switch among the master table and different subset tables). this situation allow me save only one table
if there a way JMP can do this ?
thank you
Merry Christmas ahead :-)
Go to Solution
You can't freeze rows in JMP, but you can freeze columns. Right-click on a column in the list of all columns on the left side of the dataset, and select Scroll lock/Unlock. This will have the same effect as freeze columns in Excel.
Regarding subsets you could accomplish this in a couple of different ways.
1. Use data filters. These are most effective in graphical output but can also be used with datasets.
2a. Create a subset from your table. Click on the red triangle for Source in the subset table and select copy.
2b. Switch to your original table and in the table "panel" in the upper left click paste.
2c. Rename Source to something meaningful, like "Female Subset".
Now you have a program in your original dataset, that when you click on the triangle and select Run, will produce the desired subset. Note that this is row number-based, so if the original table changes you're out of luck.

Gun control advocates continue push in Connecticut
HARTFORD -- Getting legislation passed is a numbers game on controversial issues with opponents and advocates making sure they get out their supporters to pressure lawmakers.
Advocates of major gun violence reduction reform held a press conference Tuesday to announce the backing of 350 faith-based communities and 50 separate other organizations from the Connecticut Council of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, to the National Association of Social Workers and Mothers United Against Violence.
The groups had originally been lined up to show support for the March for Change at the Capitol, but that earlier press conference was cancelled because of a blizzard that paralyzed the state for days with up to 40 inches of snow.
The march that took place last Thursday, however, attracted 5,500 people, according to Capitol police.
Residents who view changes to the gun laws as a threat to the Second Amendment - or just unnecessary - brought about 1,000 supporters to an earlier march, but emails to lawmakers from their camp were running 100 to 1, according to state officials.
The groups that came forward Tuesday back the agenda of CT Against Gun Violence, which would add weapons to the assault weapons ban in the state, as well as ban high capacity magazines with existing assault weapons and bullets destroyed, turned into law enforcement, or shipped or sold out of state.
They want universal background checks on all sales and transfers of firearms, including long guns; registration of all guns with an annual renewal; universal background checks; make gun owners liable for negligent storage; restrict handgun sales to one gun per month to cut down on illegal trafficking.
The efforts are tied to the mass killing of 20 children and six educators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14, the latest in a line of massacres by a shooter with a multiple bullet magazine.
The Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C., lists 34 multiple killings in the U.S. going back to 1984 where the magazines held from 15 up to 100 bullets and resulted in 321 deaths since 1984, according to Violence Policy Center in DC.
There are several citizen groups that began in Newton that are demanding changes, while Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointed the Sandy Hook Advisory Committee and legislators have a bipartisan committee that is looking at gun safety, mental health issues and school security with the hope of some legislation by early March.
State Rep. Gerald Fox, D-Stamford, co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and state Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven, were at the press conference.
"There has been a tidal wave of public support since this started," said Ron Pinciaro, executive director of CT Against Gun Violence. "The time is now for this. It is not a matter of 'if" these assault weapons and the magazines that feed them and some of these other proposals should be instituted. It is a matter of when and where and we think the' when' is now and we think the 'where' is here in Connecticut."
The Rev. Kate Heichler, executive director of the Interfaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut, said "our security has become severely threatened by the laxity of the gun laws in our country. In the name of freedom, weapons of war are brandished on our streets, in our schools, workplaces and houses of worship."
"In the name of my rights, too many people died in homes where there are guns because of the distorted belief that more guns make you safer," Heichler said.
She said people of faith have to foster a culture that resolves conflict by conversation, not weapons. "It is enough. It is way past enough," she said. "It is way past time for our laws to reflect our values, not the agenda of gun manufacturers and their handmaiden, the NRA."
Nancy Lefkowitz, who together with Meg Stauton, organized March for Change, made it clear that they expect lawmakers to adopt the agenda of CT Against Gun Violence.
She said they were "horrified" to learn that the 2011 proposal in Connecticut to ban high capacity magazines never made it out of committee because the opposition was 100 to 1 against it. "This could not happen again," Lefkowitz vowed.
She said they bring CT Against Gun Violence what it had been missing: "people. We aren't politicians. We are the passion behind the politics."
Lefkowitz made it clear they expect lawmakers to adopt their agenda.
Since Sandy Hook, she said 5,360 people across the country have died due to gun violence, accidents and suicides, and still "our legislators have not acted. This is not unacceptable. Legislators' hesitance to act swiftly and aggressively in favor of safer, rational gun laws turned thousands and thousands of residents of this state into single issue voters and we are paying attention to our legislators every move."
"Yes, all eyes are on Connecticut. Our eyes are on our legislators and we will not rest until they take action," she said.
Mayor Pedro Segarro of Hartford said homicides are dropping in his city, but the violence has left psychological scars among young people that holds them back from realizing their potential.
The Rev. Samuel R. Sailor of Memorial AME Church in Hartford, whose son was murdered last October, made an appeal for change.
"This is not an emotional exercise that we are going through in Connecticut ... Evil has busted through our door here in Connecticut and we have to master that ... I can't ever go home again after Oct. 20 ... There remain holes are in our lives," Sailor said.
Robert Crook, head of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, after the press conference said he can't agree with almost everything on Pinciaro's agenda.
"Everything in his agenda impacts on the legitimate citizen," he said.
"We have more laws on the books ... All these people don't know what the laws are and they don't know what they are talking about. Almost everything is covered," Crook said.
"We write the laws. We expected them to be enforced. They are not enforced. Therein lies the problem," Crook said.
He said his group, however, doesn't object to making it mandatory that sales between individuals require a background check.
But Crook said gun registration will just add more costs for legitimate gun owners; mandating the use of gun safes is not necessary as loaded firearms are supposed to be locked away from children under age 16 already.
Crook said police should enforce laws against straw gun buyers and his members object to the stolen gun law already on the books because it mandated reporting within 24 hours. Crook said he does not feel limiting the number of bullets in a magazine will pass in the state.

If you have some kind of roof problem and are thinking that roof repair is simply a home maintenance task that most homeowners can simply fix, although some may be reluctant to try doing it on their on their own, make sure that you know exactly what you are doing. In reality, if you have the knowledge, do-it-yourself roofing repair can be economical and straightforward, but as it presents heights, there are always dangers involved. The very first step in determining if the repair is a job that you can carry out on your own, is halfway to getting to the root of the problem.
If your roof is somewhat new, wind damage or improper design is usually the cause of any roof problems. Winds do not really have to reach up to hurricane strength, to harm a roof. A strong wind can have gusts that reach up to and over 50 mph, which is strong enough to pull portions of the shingles, loosening up fasteners and pulling adhesive loose from the building.
If the Job is Too Big, Don't try doing it Alone
If the problems are associated with improper design, it is usually not a good choice for trying out any do-it-yourself roof repair. If you just repair the roof, but leave the design problem still in place, the problem will be recurring, in which case it is better to contact professionals in home roofing in Perth, to get the job looked at and expertly fixed. Familiar mishaps with design are support structures that are not strong enough to support the weight of the roof, a roof with an uneven slope, not enough drains, which allows for water to pool on the roof, and not enough concern given for expansion and contraction in the decking structure. This will ultimately with time lead to separation of the roofing materials.
If you have an older roof, the roof repair situation may be the outcome of the day to day normal weather conditions. A specific amount of maintenance is deemed necessary to keep a roof in good condition, as is the upkeep of many other items. If this care is not given, the roofing materials may begin to deteriorate, which will then allow moisture and dirt into the home. If you happen to live somewhere that receives hailstorms or has a high level of industrial air pollution, the roofing materials can and will deteriorate more rapidly. One other cause of deterioration is through the exposure to salt, which occurs by living near the sea.
Getting it Fixed
Basically, the most important points to consider when engaging in any type of roof repair are quite simple. No matter what kind of leak, you should wait until any bad weather passes before pursuing any repair, and if the roofing problem is beyond the scope of what you feel you can handle, simply get in people who skilfully can.
A hole in the roof is like a hole in the head and nobody wants that!

£17 Million Strategy Unveiled By Innovative Charity
Monday, August 3rd, 2015
on behalf of Blackwood
Bosses of an ambitious housing and care provider have toured the country to roll out its new £17 million business strategy to 400 staff across Scotland.
Blackwood is already one of the best-known names in adapting homes and properties to let people with disabilities, sensory impairments or age related conditions live as independently as possible.
Now it has redefined its five year business objectives to accelerate its pioneering work integrating technology into housing and care to meet the mounting challenges facing the sectors.
Chief Executive, Fanchea Kelly and Head of Business Services, Wendy Russell, participated in a country-wide "roadshow" visiting all of Blackwood's regional offices.
Fanchea said: "People are at the heart of what we do, and it's only with the dedication of our own people that we can deliver value and quality to our customers – so it was vital that we met with every one of our staff everywhere in the country.
"Our new strategy is forward-thinking, innovative and exciting in terms of the technology we are working on. We genuinely have the potential to help Scotland meet some of its most difficult challenges in care and housing.
"We know the dedication and passion of our staff who have chosen to deliver housing, care and support services because they believe it is important and find it hugely fulfilling. That's why it is so crucial they know everything about what we are doing next."
Blackwood works in 29 of Scotland's 32 council areas – more than any other care or housing provider in Scotland.
Blackwood is a registered charity, which aims to deliver value and quality for its customers in its housing and care services and further investment for its innovative services.
It is renowned for putting technology at the heart of its work and it is currently completing design and delivery of a new concept house to reshape the gold standard in accessible homes. Alongside that, it is developing pioneering software to help give people with disabilities or impairments greater freedom, control and independence.
Its revised strategy has also set aside £13.9m for housing investment, £2.3m for staffing needs and also funded an extra £1.2m into its care provision. And over the next five years Blackwood also has plans to ensure affordable rents for all service users while increasing tenant satisfaction in line with the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
Another crucial element in delivering change will see the charity expanding its services and footprint in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow as key cities to boost its five-star rated care services.
Established by Dr Margaret Blackwood in 1972, Blackwood now has 400 staff and manages 1600 properties across Scotland.
Stops on the Blackwood Roadshow tour included:
Broom Court, Stirling
Angela Way, Uddingston
Raeden Court, Aberdeen
St Leonard's Court, Ayr
Maclehose Court, Greenock
Charleston, Dundee
Belses Gardens, Cardonald

Have you ever been to Vaughan? From what I can tell from my admittedly brief visits, it is a dystopian suburban hellscape of endless asphalt dotted with scrubgrass and children's birthday party venues. It feels like an asphalt version of the vast desert autodrome battlegrounds of Mad Max: Fury Road, except with some roller coasters.
Vaughan's main industry is being located next to Toronto — a feature so important to it that for almost two decades they made it the official slogan, "The City Above Toronto." Its occupants' main occupation appears to be idling their cars on Highway 7, an alleged transportation corridor that seems to serve in practice as a parking lot from which to look onto the rolling acres of big-box Smart Centres and Boston Pizza outlets that comprise the municipal shopping and restaurant district.
It looks more like horror movie screenwriting than urban planning to me, but I long ago resolved not to stick my nose, or any other part of my body, into the business of Vaughanwegians. (Vaughntonians? Vaghanians?) Live and let live. Still, it strikes me as a good rule of thumb to never accept transportation planning advice from a member of that city's government.
This is a rule that bears repeating, since Vaughan councillor Alan Shefman took it on himself last week to challenge Toronto's "no-capacity mythology" when it comes to the Yonge subway line.
I thought at first that Shefman must be employing new slang. In the same way that today's youth use "epic" and "legendary" to mean "amazing," I thought perhaps Shefman meant to suggest that overcrowding on the Yonge subway was so legendarily epic as to have reached mythological proportions — as if to say the lack of capacity is such that stories of the crowds wedged into the trains near Wellesley station will be handed down through generations as a form of moral teaching. "The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly push his body into a Yonge subway train each morning…"
But no. It appears Shefman was actually trying to suggest that there is space for more passengers. A bunch of city officials from York Region have been pushing to have the Yonge line extended north into Richmond Hill (a neighbour city of Vaughan's, up there in the northlands above Toronto), and as they make their pitch to the federal Liberals for funding, Shefman was suggesting that project could proceed before 416 transit priorities such as the downtown relief subway line.
There are two possibilities here. One is that Shefman is a clown. Anyone who has ever seen a famous clown-car routine, in which dozens of bozos will come parading out of a Volkswagon Beetle, will know that clowns have a different idea of transportation capacity than the rest of us. It could be that Shefman simply sees entertaining circus-style public transportation opportunities in having riders fold their bodies under seats and sit atop each other's shoulders and whatnot.
The other possibility is that Shefman simply doesn't know what he's talking about. If you want to see if overcrowding on the Yonge subway is a myth or a reality, you could go to Yonge-Bloor station during the morning rush and try to wedge yourself onto a train. If you survive that experience, and you want to imagine what that same situation will look like down the road, you could consult the city's recently released studies. They show that without any new construction, by 2031 ridership on the Yonge line at Bloor during rush hour is expected to be 39,600 — some 10 per cent higher than the capacity of the line. If an extension is built to Richmond Hill and the relief line and SmartTrack are not built, as Shefman and his 905 colleagues suggest, the projections show 41,600 passengers per hour — and that includes an 8.3 per cent drop in passengers transferring from the Bloor line because, the report says, "these passengers have been 'driven away by overcrowding.'"
It is possible driving those people away is part of his plan — that he's merely thinking that if the extension is built, there will be capacity at the north end of the line where trains will begin their trips south to allow York Regionites to get on, and those trying to board further south, at Eglinton or Bloor, who will face trains even more crowded than they are today, are of no concern to him.
He does complain, after all, about "Toronto dominating the conversation" about the TTC right now. Which is a dubious travesty, given that the TTC—including the Yonge subway line — is owned and operated and for the most part paid for by thecity of Toronto.
There is some good news. The same TTC reports show that if the relief line and SmartTrack are built, then there may be enough space to accommodate a Yonge extension to Richmond Hill, and we can expect local politicians here in Toronto, the ones actually in charge of the TTC, to advocate for funding for that, putting the projects in the right order. Sure enough, that's what Mayor John Tory and TTC Chair Josh Colle have been saying in response to the York Region lobbying.
Imagine that: in Toronto transit politics have often seemed like a big clown show. But the addition of the perspective of a councillor from Vaughan suddenly makes our leaders sound reasonable.

Bankrate: Mortgage Rates Continue Post-Brexit Rebound
Jul 28, 2016, 07:30 ET
NEW YORK, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mortgage rates continue to crawl back from post-Brexit lows, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate moving up for a third week in a row to 3.63 percent, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The 30-year fixed mortgage has an average of 0.23 discount and origination points.
The larger jumbo 30-year fixed actually pulled back slightly, to 3.69 percent, and remains higher than the average conforming rate for the fifth week in a row and just the eighth time in the past year. The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate moved up to 2.89 percent. Adjustable mortgage rates were mixed, with the 5-year ARM holding at 3.08 percent, the 7-year ARM rising to 3.26 percent, and the 10-year ARM retreating to 3.42 percent.
Mortgage rates increased for a third week as financial markets put the Brexit brouhaha further in the rear-view mirror. Mortgage rates have now recovered half of the post-Brexit decline. In addition, the Federal Reserve gave a very upbeat assessment of the economy, noting that 'near-term risks' to the economy have diminished, and referencing the improving job market three times in their post-meeting statement. This is the first step toward prepping markets for an eventual interest rate increase and puts a September rate hike squarely on the table.
This time last year the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 4.09 percent, which carried a monthly payment of $965.24 on a $200,000 loan. At the current average rate of 3.63 percent, the monthly payment for the same size loan is $912.67, resulting in savings of $52 per month for a homeowner refinancing now.
30-year fixed: 3.63% -- up from 3.60% last week (avg. points: 0.23)
15-year fixed: 2.89% -- up from 2.86% last week (avg. points: 0.20)
5/1 ARM: 3.08% -- unchanged from last week (avg. points: 0.27)
Bankrate's national weekly mortgage survey is conducted each Wednesday from data provided by the top 10 banks and thrifts in 10 top markets.
For a full analysis of this week's move in mortgage rates, go to http://www.bankrate.com/finance/mortgages/mortgage-analysis-072816.aspx
The survey is complemented by Bankrate's weekly Rate Trend Index, in which a panel of mortgage experts predicts which way the rates are headed over the next seven days. Don't expect big changes, with 56 percent of the panelists saying mortgage rates will remain more or less unchanged in the coming week. One-third predict further increases and just 11 percent forecast falling mortgage rates over the next seven days.

After our brutal winter last year, I knew that I needed an extra special getaway this winter vacation. We wanted a destination that was warm, with beautiful beaches, but didn't want to travel too far from home. We ended up booking a five-night vacation to Puerto Rico – just a four hour direct flight from Boston's Logan Airport – and stayed at the El Conquistador – A Waldorf Astoria Resort.
Disclosure: At least some of this trip was either comped or provided at a media rate. Post may contain affiliate links. All opinions are our own.
El Conquistador Resort Puerto Rico Review
Thanks to the sub-zero temps in Boston on our departure day, our flight was several hours late. We took the shuttle bus from the San Juan Airport (additional fee applies, and reservations are required), and an hour later, we checked in to our ocean-view room. We arrived too late to explore the hotel or see the view, but we went to sleep and woke up refreshed and ready for our vacation.
Our room was located on the top floor of the main building overlooking the Caribbean. The room offered a full balcony, two queen beds, a desk, a refrigerator, a walk-in closet, a tub/shower, a flat-screen television with DVD player, and complimentary WiFi. The hotel was busy for President's Day week, but the room itself was nice and quiet. Room service was done early, which is always a big positive in my opinion. I never like returning to a room at the end of a long day and finding out that it hadn't yet been cleaned.
We loved the room, but didn't spend too much time in it because there was so much to do at the resort.
Things to Do at the El Conquistador Resort
The El Conquistador Resort Puerto Rico offers so many different things for families to do. The highlight of the resort is Palomino Island, a private island accessible only via boat. From our room, we had to take an elevator to a Funicular down to the marina, where we were able to catch a boat. It may sound a bit complicated, but we found that it was easy to do. The boat ride over to the island took about 15 minutes, and was a great ride. The kids loved sitting on the top of the boat.
The island itself offers so much to do. There's a beach, rum bar, and restaurant, along with float and motor craft rentals. In addition, there is horse rides on small horses, mini golf, basketball, life-sized chess, and a large Connect-4 game, along with other activities. We spend most of our first day on the island, and could easily have spend every day there.
Here's a Periscope I did with a small island tour of Palomino Island.
You don't have to travel over to Palomino Island to enjoy the water, however. The resort offers several pools and jacuzzis, all surrounded by beach chairs so you can relax. My kids spend a lot of time at the pools, and my husband and I went in the pools and relaxed on the lounge chairs. The pools also have bar and food service, so I definitely enjoyed several mojitos during our stay.
For guests that want to enjoy even more water time, the resort offers a small water park – the Coqui Water Park – on the Marina Village level. Access is offered for an additional fee. The Coqui Water Park offers three water slides (plus a small kiddie slide), a large pool, and a lazy river. I easily could have spent hours in the lazy river – it was relaxing and fun. The water park also has a small snack bar, and floats are available for rent (use of regular inner tubes are complimentary). Guests of the water park receive a wrist band, and can go in and out of the water park throughout the day.
There are also plenty of things to do out of the sun. There's a kids' club, which is offered on a full or half-day basis, as well as several game rooms and other kids' activities, like s'more making and outdoor movies. During the five days that we were there, there were several family shows offered (additional fee), including a mind reader performance.
Service at the El Conquistador – A Waldorf Astoria Resort
My experience with the El Conquistador staff started before I even arrived. I booked my shuttle through the concierge and also had a personal concierge reach out to see if I needed anything prior to my arrival. That service is offered to anyone who books directly on the El Conquistador website. Once we arrived, we continued to be impressed with the service. From the front desk staff that efficiently checked us in to the restaurant employees who were eager to recommend their favorite dishes, we encountered lots of helpful employees.
Food at the El Conquistador
With over 20 separate food and beverage outlets on property, there are so many options for food. I was thrilled to see the Starbucks in the lobby – we got a quick breakfast there each morning. Food options range from pool bar to fine dining, and during our stay, there was even a food truck on property. As I'd expect from a property like this, prices are generally a little high, but reasonable options are definitely offered. We chose to have two fine dining experiences, and had dinner at the Stingray Cafe and La Piccola Fontana. Both are kid friendly, and we enjoyed both meals.
Off Property at the El Conquistador
We didn't rent a car at the airport, so generally spent most of our time at the resort. Excursions are offered through the tour desk – I'd recommend booking in advance. Guests can go to the El Yunque rainforest, the Bioluminescent Bay, or Old San Juan. We opted to rent at car from the on-site Enterprise desk, and spend our last afternoon in Old San Juan.
The El Conquistador – A Waldorf Astoria Resort also offers a golf course and a Waldorf spa. We aren't golfers, so we just admired the beautiful course from a distance. If I ever return, I'll definitely check out the spa.

|"To construct a stone oven, you should take care to select first the direction of its door. Ideally, it should be placed in a perpendicular fashion regarding the main or most common direction for the local winds.
In this way, the combustible will be better replenished with oxygen and you will enjoy a better functioning in cases such as when your wood gets wet, because it will dry and burn faster and easier.
You dont really need to provide your oven with a lot of capacity. The combustion chamber does not need to be very big; in fact, fires inside such ovens are often smaller than campfires because since ovens tend to conserve heat, they are much more efficient.
To obtain maximum benefits from your oven, you should lit the fire and start burning some combustible approximately half an hour before you actually start cooking. In this way, the whole oven will acquire temperature in an homogeneous fashion.
Starting up an oven is easy, but if you have some trouble, you could purchase a fire-starter, or, if you know chemistry and what you are doing, make some Napalm for yourself. It is great stuff and the fact that you can use it even with the strongest Patagonian winds at hand is quite a guarantee, but you must handle it with care because it can become quite destructive.
The oven of the former page in action: preparing pizza in the middle
of nowhere, in Patagonia. It takes just a couple of minutes to cook
such meals using a stone oven due to its efficiency.
If you construct a stone oven, place always your biggest rocks at the bottom. You can take advantage of stones or rocks already in place, and construct the oven there. It should be U shaped, and the way in which the stones are placed together is quite similar to the construction of a Pirca.
You place the biggest and heaviest rocks at the bottom, fill the gaps with smaller rocks and sand, and continue with another level of rocks."
