Find another provider....
Can't say that I have.
Verizon used to ask for your SSN when you tried to change your phone service. They stopped the practice after customer complaints.
Don't give it. Keep calling until you find someone who will take your monthly ripoff payment without it.
They use it run a credit check.
is there any chance it is a credity check, like with utilities?
Probably want to check your credit report to see if you pay your bills ... I don't care if your credit rating is the best in the world, this is BS and you should refuse.
Cox Communications requires an SSN for security purposes.....I did give it to them when I signed up for their cable/internet service.
Probably for credit though I can't imagine why.
Just give them a wrong number.
I don't know how much of a requirement it is. I do believe that legally speaking, the only people that can demand one's SS# as proof of identity are banks and the IRS. Everyone else just uses them because they are a convenient way to assign someone a unique "customer ID" (instead of generating their own, which I guess is a hassle).
At any rate, if you really didn't want to, then I believe you have the right to deny giving it to them, as they aren't a government entitity. But they may say it's "for a credit check" or something like that. If you stick to your guns though, you'll probably not have to at all.
It is common as part of a credit check process. A SSN can be used to validate financial and educational information.
We do several things to protect your number from misuse. For example, we require and carefully inspect proof of identity from people who apply to replace lost or stolen Social Security cards, or for corrected cards. One reason we do this is to prevent people from fraudulently obtaining Social Security numbers to establish false identities. We maintain the privacy of Social Security records unless: The law requires us to disclose information to another government agency; or Your information is needed to conduct Social Security or other government health or welfare program business. You should be very careful about sharing your number and card to protect against misuse of your number. Giving your number is voluntary even when you are asked for the number directly. If requested, you should ask: Why your number is needed; How your number will be used; What happens if you refuse; and What law requires you to give your number. The answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to give your Social Security number. The decision is yours
Use 567-68-0515 or 409-52-2002.
Heck, I use my SS# as my logon password for everything--work and home 'puters, ebay and other online stores, my ATM PIN, etc.....;^)
The want it to report you to the credit bureau if you don't pay your bill.
When he got the license he looked at the long number they gave him, he asked the clerk why they didn't just use the driver's social security number instead.
Her answer:
It wouldn't work in California. There are too many people.
Or go with Copper.net instead.
Probably since 9/11.

Two 14 year old boys from Blair are charged as adults with sexual assault. Washington County authorities say the victim had just finished babysitting early Saturday morning at an apartment building at 10th and Iowa Streets. She was sitting on the steps outside when she was approached by the two boys who then asked her for sex.
Authorities say when the girl said no they started tearing her clothing and forced her back inside the apartment building to the laundry room where the assault occurred. The girl and her parents reported the alleged assault to law enforcement on Sunday.
Both teens are charged with first degree sexual assault of a minor and false imprisonment. Bond was set at $75,000 for each boy.

I had severe acne from about age 14-17 and after that my acne went from severe to moderate. I tried everything and anything both prescription and on the counter. This included creams, tablets,laser treatments etc. You name it , I probably tried it.
What most people don't understand is that Acne is more than a physical ailment. It also affects you emotionally and mentally .If you haven't been through it then it might be hard for you to relate. It had a big impact on my self esteem and made me very withdrawn in high school and i struggled with low self esteem until i was in my 2nd year of University.
Everything changed when I was prescribed Retisol-A about 2 years ago. I have been acne free for two years. It is a topical cream and it stopped me from getting new breakouts, also my old acne scars have faded over time and my skin looks more even now.
I also changed some of my habits to maintain my results:
- I eliminated dairy milk from my diet and I only drink soy milk
- I drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday
Retisol- A cost me about $45 & you need a prescription to get it. One tube usually lasts me 2-2.5 months. I use 1-2 times a day. It comes in different concentrations. The one i use is pictured below.
Remember what works for me, may not work for you! But it is worth a try. If you don't try, you will never know.

Bertie hits The Beach!
Mead Has Never Been So Laid Back…
The Call Of the Sun-Kissed Beach Is Irresistible To Any Playboy. But When there you've got to be the part uber cool, refreshing and sexy… Exactly Like our little Craft Mead here that Bertie brought back for you. Perfect after a long hard day or in the glistening sun. We make our awesome Superior Craft Mead base then go bonkers with Bittersweet Marmalade! Probably The most Relaxed Mead Ever!
This new kid on the block is our most refreshing yet! Made with bittersweet marmalade it has a lovely citrus twang but is not overly sweet against the honey leaving a real moreish mouthfeel and taste. It is perfect at the end of a long day when all you want is something cool and refreshing!Firstly we decant our marmalade into the mash to get it all mixed up, then we add our honey, after fermentation and conditioning we throw in a bit more marmalade in just to make sure!
Perfect Served Chilled with an Orange slice!
- Unpasteurised Blossom Honey
- Bittersweet Marmalade
- Lake District Water
- Zymurgorium: House Yeast
- Bottle Conditioned.
Because of the orangey citrus taste this particular brew suits spicey dishes and duck dishes. Use it to steam mussels, clams, or any other fish that suits steaming. Finish with butter and the mead's sharp flavour work with the natural liquor of the mollusks creating a sauce that will be irresistible with a hunk of freshly baked whole grain loaf.
Have it accompany a salad of shellfish e.g. crab, grapefruit segments and avocado and see how it sweetens and clarifies the shellfish meat, as it softens the bitterness of the grapefruit, and the sharpness aids in cutting through the avocados richness. Any meal that goes well with a sharp citrusy sauvignon and just keep on experimenting.

3. Identity in Christ. What does it Look Like? - led by Casey Ochoa
Our identity is to be found in Jesus Christ. But what does that look like, and how do we do this? How to yield "the armor" in the walk in this world, and what tools to use in everyday life.
Casey Ochoa believed in and proclaimed Jesus Christ as her Savior in 7th grade, began seeking Him at 19, started walking with Him at 20, got baptized and began serving at 25, then publicly dedicated her life to fully serving the Lord at 31.

4. Who Am I in the Storm? - led by Beth Holder
The past few months have been quite a storm in Beth's family live. God has caused her to reflect on who she really is in the storms of life. No matter how prepared we think we are, we are not capable of handling the storms alone. How do we hold onto hope and be a reflection of Christ while everything around us seems to be a raging storm?
Beth Holder has been married to Phil Holder for 27 years. All of those 27 years have been spent in full time ministry. They have two children. Nick is a student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and Alex is in her senior year at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.

Billboards and beauty magazines parade around girls with high cheekbones, thin waists, and blown-out hair. Though almost everyone agrees that these standards of beauty are so last year (curvy is in), getting voluminized hair seems to be a goal for many young women today. A thick, built up crowning glory looks gorgeous on anyone, and it adds vibrance and life to a lady's overall appearance.
Limp, lifeless hair is, after all, a really bad turn off. Not only does it not translate well with potential lovers, it is also a sign of poor health, especially bad nutritional choices. The hair bears the marks of one's health, and having thin hair could stem from a range of illnesses.
This is why both ladies and gentlemen should push to gain stronger, healthier hair that packs volume and weight, and for women with naturally thin hair, fret not. There are hair styles for thin hair that can help the mane look more luscious and voluminous.
Thin, fine hair often appears damp, lifeless, and limp. This is because it is characterized by a lesser number of hair follicles per square inch. Therefore, work out styles that make the hair appear bigger and thicker. For women with long hair, try getting it permed with layered curls. This adds dimension and bounciness to the hair.
However, do not go overboard with the layering. Direct the hair stylist to layer around the face only and not on the surrounding parts of the hair. This is because doing the latter will result in hair that looks very thin. It is, therefore, not a good hair style for people who started out with thin hair.
Shorter lengths also work their magic. Hair styles for thin hair focus on achieving a fuller look, and getting a bob cut accomplishes just that. Leaving the ends blunt also helps. Top off the look with side bangs that can accentuate the face as well as create the illusion of a fuller hair. A shaggy pixie cut also adds dimension and movement to otherwise lifeless hair.
Expert hair stylists also recommend parting the hair on the side instead of in the middle.
Other ways of combating thin hair is by drying the hair with a blow dryer every morning. Use a comb to push the hair outwards, towards the nozzle to add volume.
Various beauty products such as shampoos, conditioners, and hair sprays could also be used to promote volume. However, avoid using oil-infused ingredients as well as those that promote moisture. These will only weigh down the hair, which will go against the look that one wants to achieve. The volume that one hopes for cannot be achieved by oily, wet looking hair.
People with naturally thin hair should also consider eating and making healthier choices. Fruits and vegetables are natural containers of the vitamins and minerals needed to foster healthy hair growth, which may just be able to reverse the thinning of the mane.
More than being a beauty mark, a luscious and voluminous hair is a symbol of health and fertility. It is best to treasure and take care of it.

One of the most controversial roles in professional sports is that of a "hockey goon". A player whose sole purpose is to go onto the ice and attempt to beat up the opposing team's best fighter, the goon is both popular and despised by the fans, misunderstood by critics yet beloved by their teammates.
Most hockey goons never start out that way. They start out dreaming of being the next Orr, or Lafleur or Gretzky, but end up not being good enough in the skills department. Their pugilistic abilities, however, has carried many to professional hockey career.
Doug Smith, the author of "Goon" was different, not lacing up his skates until age 19, with one goal in mind: become a hockey fighter. Smith was inspired by a love of hockey fights, citing Dave Schultz of the 1970s Philadelphia Flyers as an influence. He and his friends watch hours of fight videos, studying the styles of famous goons. While other aspiring young hockey players re-enact famous plays of their favourite players, Smith and his buddies re-enacted hockey fights at a local gym.
Growing up to become a 6' 2",210 lbs New England Golden Gloves boxer, Smith began playing in local adult leagues in the Boston area in 1988, where he learned to develop his on-ice fighting skills, as well as learning to skate and develop some hockey sense. His brawling style catches the eye of a Buffalo Sabres scout, who arranges a tryout for Smith with the Carolina Thunderbirds of the ECHL.
Although he gets cut by the Thunderbirds in training camp, the club invites him back two months later when their established goons aren't getting the job done as expected. Despite his poor skating and lack of hockey skills, Smith's ability to fight keeps him with the team for the remainder of the season. He becomes one of the most feared and respected fighters in the ECHL, as well as a fan favourite in the T-Birds hometown of Winston-Salem. Still, Smith notes he lived in fear every day of being released by the team.
The Thunderbirds would win the 1989 ECHL championship, but Smith didn't see post-season action, suffering the fate of all goons during playoff time, being benched during the playoffs in favour of players with traditional hockey talent. He would get a championship ring, but no cut of the playoff money. His worst fears were realized when the Thunderbirds, under new ownership, tell him they won't be inviting him back the following season.
Smith believed his minor-pros days were done, that he'd had his "fifteen minutes of fame", and went on to become a policeman in his hometown of Hanover, Mass. However, his pugilist skills earned him notice, and thanks to benevolent veteran scout Sean "Commander" Coady, Smith continued to find leagues to play in.
From a career that stretched sporadically from 1988-89 to 1997-98, Smith would bounce from playing for ECHL teams like Steve Carlson's (of "Slapshot" fame) Johnstown Chiefs, Cincinnati Cyclones and Louisana IceGators, to IHL clubs like the Phoenix Roadrunners, and even AHL teams such as the Moncton Hawks and Springfield Falcons.
Along the way, Smith tangles with noted minor leaguers such as Frank Bialowas and Dennis Bonvie, as well as meets colourful characters who wouldn't have looked out of place in the movie "Slapshot". Indeed, Smith's recollections of living and playing in the minor leagues - riding dilapidated buses, barely earning enough for food and rent, boarding with a local hockey commentator during his days with Mirimachi of the New Brunswick Senior Hockey League - clearly shows professional hockey at this level is much grittier than life at the NHL level. Many of the players, like Smith himself, continue to play at this level, not because they're chasing an elusive NHL dream, but because of the love of the game.
Smith also recounts nearly every on-ice battle he had during his playing days, and while the details may not be for the faint of heart or those with a pacifist streak, his recollections are no different than a scoring star recounting the details of key goals. Amazingly, Smith emerges with few serious injuries from his battles, apart from facial stitches and a seperated shoulder.
What also emerges from Smith's tale is that there is more to being a hockey fighter than merely rushing out onto the ice and pounding the crap out of an opponent. Smith had to scout his opponents to learn their fighting style. We learn that goons develop special preparations, such as wearing tighter jerseys so there would be less for opponets to grab in a fight, prior to a game. Also, we learn every goon has a different fighting style, and that there are in fact several different types of hockey fighters.
Smith also lets us into the unwritten "codes" of hockey goons, which frowns on sucker punches, biting and headbutts, and is usually adhered to by most. Indeed, the author points out hockey goons have a healthy respect for one another, with no illusions about their role, and even socializing after a game in which they were beating themselves up scant hours before. As he points out, it's nothing personal, just a job they have to do.
Smith's story is punctuated with interesting background inteviews with former minor league opponents and teammates, including current NHL referee Paul Stewart, They too recall their tilts with the author, without malice and a good degree of humour. They remember Smith as a hard, but clean, fighter who "loved to go" and never backed down from a battle.
There are some drawbacks to Smith's recollections of his playing days. There are so many descriptions of fights that after a while it becomes difficult to find one that stands out. His description of the career of one of his heroes, Jacques Mailhot, is quite lengthy, taking up half of one chapter, although it does illustrate the "hobo-like" wandering patterns of minor-pro goons, as they drift from team to team, league to league, following wherever the call comes for an enforcer.
The story could have benefitted more from more insight into his youth, and why he liked to fight than play sports. There is very little mentioned about his family's opinion of what he's doing. This is probably due to Smith's tough-talking, no-nonsense personality, so he probably hasn't dwelled on it, or given it much thought.
This book is certainly not for everyone. The fight descriptions are quite graphic, and his preparation for his first AHL game, only days after surgery to his chest muscles, is not for the weak of stomach. Those who abhor fighting in hockey aren't going to change their opinions while reading Smith's story. The fact Smith was able to reach the AHL level based on his fighting ability and not his hockey ability will upset those who believe fighting has no place in hockey.
Regardless, the hockey goon has been an integral part of pro hockey at all levels for decades. Their role is psychological, as winning a clear-cut victory over an opposing fighter helps to fire up their club, thus motivating them to play harder.
Most importantly, the majority of hockey fans love it, cheering on the combatants with as much enthusiasm as one would see in a boxing prizefight. They help add to the excitement, which in turn brings more fans to the game. The NHL and the minor leagues may not publicly support hockey fights, but they won't clamp down on something that helps put butts in the seats.
Overall, Smith's story is an entertaining, insightful look at life as a pro hockey goon. Those who love hockey fights will love this book. Those who don't, but are open-minded, should give it a read to perhaps better understand the role of a hockey goon, even if they don't condone it. It's a no-nonsense story that, like it's author during his playing days, pulls no punches.

you go to buy a chocolate bar
which one does your heart desire most? (only one)
When did they get released?!deadonthestairs this'd this
I've only seen them in once place. They're pretty good - the honeycomb is there but it doesn't overpower the Yorkieness.

Take a honeycomb Yorkie for the glove box.
These used to be around all the time didn't they? I assume they went away and have now come back.

Starbar's tailor-made for DiSers: hasn't been advertised for years, but nevertheless a cult classic beloved by a hard core of devoted and discerning fans.
Oh yeah. They changed it to Daim. It'll always be a Dime bar for me.
The same way Snickers are Marathons, M&Ms are Treats and Starbursts are Opal Fruits. Yep. Old man alert.
Milka with Daim is even better than a standard Daim
Perfect amounts of chocolate and daim mmmfihiki this'd this

I am TOO good though. Yeah? YEAAHHHH.
You get to a certain age, or time of life where...

I mean there are times in the past where I thought i've wanted one and I like the idea of them in principle but actually eating one you just realise the chocolate they use is pretty shit. I'm not saying it's as bad as Herscheys or anything but it's just such a disappointing experience. In typical Dis style i'm sure I used to like the older ones before they changed itMatt_was_taken and Scout this'd this
really like Yorkie chocolate
basically the same stuff you get on Kit Kat Chunkies, but ALL OF IT
I very rarely buy chocolate
I'd go for green & blacks dark chocolate if I had to though, to be refridgerated and nibbled over the course of weeks. If I pop to the local shop, it is generally to buy basics such as booze, bread and milk.Oh_Shangri-La this'd this

Green and Blacks is too obvious surely?
So many dark chocolate bores out there. "Oh I love dark chocolate, got to be 70% cocoa AT LEAST". I shall accept 5 indie points only.

SOME OF us still remember law and order, which was a catch phrase intended to justify veiled racism, and an excuse to minimize abusive police practices while claiming benign protection of the community. Which community? What worries some of us now is the modern phrase -- zero tolerance -- whose details sound a little too close to yesterday's law and order.
Thomas Frazier is gone, and the presumptive mayor-elect, Martin O'Malley, searches for his replacement as police commissioner of Baltimore. This one, says O'Malley, must not only clear the drug dealers off street corners but also catch every litterbug whose arrest might uncover a more predatory profile.
O'Malley preached this message across last summer's mayoral campaign, and delivered it so consistently, and struck such a powerful chord among voters, that he won the crowded Democratic primary with a stunning 52 percent of the vote.

Saving Herself
HERBERT Parsons left for active duty in France on 25 January 1918. "My dear Children," he wrote in a long farewell letter in which he carefully enumerated his reasons for going. "I gladly give myself to combat the might-makes-right policy of Germany. . . . Germany drove our country into the war by her persistent and insolent violations of our international rights. . . . in the interest of the world's peace and right of self-government a stop had to be put to her aggrandisation." "England is the great liberalizing power," he continued. "Her application . . . of the principle that colonies have the right to govern themselves . . . has been the finest application the world has seen of enlightened government." "The world is going to be better after the war in many ways, if we win," he concluded. "For there will be a keener sense of justice. I hate war. I would not chose a military life except in such an emergency as the present [and] I hope that the Allies will form a league to enforce peace which by its international army/navy will compel nations to adjudicate disputes & abide by the judicial decisions of them. . . . may the spirit of Christ master you. Au revoir, Your father."
To sixteen-year-old Lissa he added, "Goodbye. I did not tell you when I was going lest it upset your plans. Enclosed is a rather solemn document which I wish you would send to John after reading it your self. Please ask him to return it to you and keep it to show to the little boys when they are old enough to understand, if in this horrible war anything happens to me. Probably nothing will. Have a good time. Your loving Father."1
"Father is off," Elsie wrote to John at school, "first to England then to France. May it seem rewarding to him! But why should one be so anxious to see imperialist France occupying Syria, or imperialist England, Bagdad, or imperialist Italy, Dalmatia? . . . Saturday I am off to the Southwest for a few weeks, say a month. Address, c/o Mrs. Eckerman, Laguna Station, New Mexico." She spent the

Homodyne detection can dramatically enhance measurement sensitivity for weak signals. In nonlinear optical microscopy it can make accessible a range of novel, intrinsic, contrast like nonlinear absorption and nonlinear phase contrast. Here a compact and rapid pulse shaper is developed, implemented, and demonstrated for homodyne detection in nonlinear microscopy with high-repetition rate mode-locked femtosecond lasers. With this method we generate two-photon absorption (TPA) and self-phase modulation images of gold nanostars in biological samples. Simultaneous imaging of two-photon luminescence and TPA also enables us to produce two-photon quantum yield images.

#44 - April 2008 Newsletter
I've been a street nurse in Toronto for 19 years. I have received the Atkinson Economic Justice Award which permits me to pursue my passions for nursing and working on homelessness and housing issues. In this newsletter I hope to report on my activities, create a link to a broader group of individuals who care about these social issues and encourage critical debate.
1. Home is more than four walls.
2. Stephen Harper and Stéphane Dion - Put down the Guns and pick up the Hammers and Nails!
1. Home is more than four walls.
I was reading children's stories to my 2 year old grandson last week. I now know more than I ever wanted to about 'Thomas' the train! In fact, I now know the books, the songs, the YouTube site, the TV series and the website. However, assuming you might not, let me fill you in.
According to Wikipedia, Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic tank locomotive created by the Rev. W. V. Awdry for his English 'Railway Series', a set of books about a fictional railway station on the fictional island of Sodor and the fictional engines that live on it. I'm all for anything that makes a child want to read and something about these brightly coloured and usually happy-faced trains and their struggles with adversity seem to capture children's attention and improve their language skills.
However, having said that, I don't think I was prepared for the intensity of some of the lessons and the language in the Thomas series. Many of the stories carry a moralistic tone, reinforcing the Protestant work ethic: engines pushing up the hill, facing adversity, being told "you can do it" and if you can't, someone will push you along.
In Diesel's Devious Deed, the new engine Diesel is sulking because the freight cars had been taunting him. Various engines intervene: Duck, who is horrified, orders the freight cars to shut up and bumps them hard. He apologizes to Diesel who replies it is all Duck's fault because he made the cars laugh at him. Then enters engine Henry, who declares:
"We engines have our differences, but we never talk about them to the cars. That would be ….
Disgraceful, said Gordon,
Disgusting, put in James,
Despicable, finished Henry."
At the heart of the story is an emphasis on fault, lies, bullying, name-calling and retribution all packed into a moral lesson. I asked myself, are the words disgraceful, disgusting, despicable appropriate words for a children's story? I noted that the word 'despicable' seemed fun to pronounce for a two year old (who knew?). I couldn't help but think that these words more aptly described a situation I had been dwelling on – the recent freezing death of Robert Maurice, an Aboriginal man, widely considered homeless, on a -27 degree Celsius night in Toronto.
Disgraceful, disgusting, despicable are perfectly appropriate words, in my opinion, to describe the actions and the attitudes of bureaucrats and City Councillors, the media, police and the Coroner's office, who have all but ignored the death of this man. These individuals and organizations who hold positions of authority and whose mandate is to protect and advocate for the public and for the truth, chose to do anything but in recent weeks.
Important evidence was ignored by bureaucrats and the city councillors who sit on Toronto's social services committee. Extreme, graphic and disturbing evidence on the crisis in shelter, food and homeless services was presented to this committee in the form of expert deputations, as recently as one week prior to Robert Maurice's tragic death. Deputants, including nurses, harm reduction workers, outreach workers, agency board members and homeless people left disheartened. These individuals had literally begged for help, but to no avail. City Hall's response: Disgraceful.
Media - missing in action. Despite a standing room only committee meeting that day, the media were nowhere to be seen. After the freezing death, and only in reaction to cries of outrage from homeless advocates including myself, what I can only describe as a 'posse' of journalists suddenly appeared showing every intention to obsess on their definition of homelessness to prove to us the error of our ways. After all they pointed out, Mr. Maurice had a room and there were shelter beds that night.
In a letter to several media outlets I wrote:
"While house fires have remained a major news story this winter, quite rightly so – fire marshals and firefighters who are professionals and speak the truth about their concerns are seen as a credible voice, the same does not hold true for people who provide services to the homeless and who are similarly raising life and death issues."
Weeks after the death there remains a vacuum in media coverage: Disgusting.
Police (mis)communications. Police efforts to provide the media with information, which was sketchy and inaccurate, seemed to have trumped the usual focus on locating the deceased's family or communicating with social service agencies that would have had his personal records or ID.
The Coroner's castle. There is a big moat around the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario and across that moat there are tall and thick walls. It is very, very hard for me to comprehend how this institution, with all of its resources, was unable to implement an adequate communication strategy to contact Robert Maurice's family after his death. Five days later, at the request of Street Health's Gaetan Heroux, I left a message asking to speak with the Coroner. I explained my role, that I was a nurse and had contact info for the family. I was called back by secretarial staff and told the coroner was very busy, could she help me. Yes, and I provided her with some sense of the issue and the urgency but I wanted the Coroner to return Gaetan Heroux's call so he could provide the link to family in northern Ontario.
The interest of officials in the death of this man and their concern for his family: Despicable.
In the aftermath of a horrific winter, that included the freezing death of an Aboriginal man only a block from Bloor and Yonge Streets, there is a background story that remains: disgraceful, disgusting, despicable
The 'Back Story' includes:
- shelter conditions in Canada's largest city that leave people to face disease such as tuberculosis and untimely and agonizing deaths;
- the loss of over 300 emergency shelter beds in Toronto since 2007;
- an increasingly hostile and dismissive climate at City Hall towards homelessness and front-line workers;
- systemic racism in government institutions that includes a rejection to acknowledge the impact of residential schools and poverty on First Nations peoples;
- widespread denial, even in 2008, that a home is more than just 4 walls.
- The weight of those three words in that children's book remains with me.
2. Put down the Guns and pick up the Hammers and Nails!
-speech at Pan Canada rally- Toronto, March 15, 2008
HOUSING NOT WAR!! I am a Street Nurse. Street Nurses and outreach workers and homeless people all know that bandages, triage on the street or in a drop-in centre, mash unit style, is not enough. Not for 1 year, not for 5 years and not for 20 years. People need homes!
10 years ago, we formed the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee and declared homelessness a national disaster, in response to refugee like conditions across the country after our national housing program was killed. We called for the 1% solution: an additional 1% of the federal budget to be allocated each year to a national housing program and we also said we needed immediately money for disaster relief here in Canada!
10 years ago, the mayors of Canada's biggest cities agreed with us and they also declared homelessness a national disaster.
10 years ago, the United Nations agreed with us and said that the state of homelessness in Canada should be considered a national emergency.
Where are we today? 10 years have passed and the federal government – both Liberal and Conservative, failed to reinstate and fund a national housing program.
Three days ago Miloon Kothari, the UN Rapporteur on Adequate Housing reported on his recent fact-finding mission in Canada.
"As a very wealthy country, with significant surplus in federal budget, immediate attention is required for the most vulnerable part of the population living in inadequate housing and living conditions. There is no justification for not massively engaging in the improvement of the situation of all those that face inadequate housing and living conditions throughout Canada." March 12, 2008 - Geneva
We asked ourselves at TDRC "Where was the money going?" We're not economists, but we went on the money trail.
We know of course that a chunk of money has repeatedly been given as tax breaks for corporations or put towards deficit reduction.
But we wondered "Where was the rest of the money going?"
Was the money going to Home Care or Pharmacare? NO
Was it going to a new national child care program? NO
Was it going towards education or to help reduce tuitions? NO
Was it going to help provinces raise welfare rates? NO
Was it going to improve and expand employment insurance? NO
Was it going to increase old age pensions? NO
Was it going to provide better security for injured workers? NO
Was it going to make sure we meet Kyoto standards? NO
Well, it sure as hell wasn't going to housing. There was NOTHING in the last federal budget for renewal of two programs – the national renovation program (RRAP) and the homeless disaster relief program (HPI), due to expire in fiscal year 2008. There was NOTHING for a national housing program.
Now that may be because as Minister Monte Solberg told TDRC's Beric German on a national radio debate that the numbers of homeless people:
"have been going down in the last few years" ….. NOT TRUE!
He also left us speechless, declaring that his government is:
"spending more money today on housing than any (Canadian) government in history!" NOT TRUE!
What we discovered is that ten years after homelessness was declared a national disaster the Harper government is spending more money on the military, (not housing) than any government in history! This fiscal year a whopping $18 Billion will go towards the military. That is 8.5% of our federal budget.
They say that if you spend money on armaments, sooner or later you are going to use them. The military brags that Canada fired 4.7 million bullets in Afghanistan in the past two years.
And in Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries on earth, we are spending $100 million dollars a month on war – only 1/10th of that is aid, and only 1/10th of that aid even gets to the people.
We are told that the Karzai government, which our government sides with in the civil war, is fighting for democracy and helping a downtrodden people. Oh, and we are helping establish women's rights. Therefore, Canada is on the right side of history.
Downtrodden people
This war in Afghanistan, which has gone on longer than WWII, has left the people of Afghanistan poorer than the day the war began. And General Hillier says that the war could go on for generations.
In Afghanistan, 3 million people are displaced – made homeless, forced out of their homes (UNHCR) – by bombing from air and tanks. And there is famine - 7.5 million people on the verge of starvation. Thousands of Afghanis killed, hundreds made homeless by the war froze to death this winter.
Well, we know about downtrodden people. We see people begging and hungry and dying in every city and town in Canada. Each year, 300,000 people are homeless, displaced in Canada. And we know about freezing deaths, that officials refuse to acknowledge, like the recent death of Robert Maurice, an aboriginal man.
All this, while our young soldiers are being brought back badly maimed or transported in coffins along the Highway of Heroes.
And still our government wants more war – two more years.
Their slogan must be 'War not Housing!'
Women's rights
And what about women? I am a woman. I am now a grandmother. I care about the thousands of homeless women and their families, their children, in Canada and I care about the women and children in Afghanistan.
So let's listen to the voices of women you seldom hear.
There is a media truth-telling voice:
Cathy Gannon is a journalist who worked in Afghanistan for over 15 years. She says that the Karzai government is the largest collection of mass murderers you'll find in one place.
Perhaps our soldiers should have been arresting them and taking them to The Hague for trial – instead of propping them up.
There is another woman's voice – a clear and brave voice:
Malalai Joya. She is the young, Afghan Member of Parliament who was illegally ejected for criticizing the warlords that surrounded her. Then it got worse. She had four assassination attempts on her life. Her home was blown up and she was assaulted and threatened even inside the parliament chamber. The Karzai government took away her security protection.
Joya, you see, speaks out against the abuse of women and for human rights.
About women, she says, "their position is catastrophic. The Northern Alliance are made up of fundamentalists, just like the Taliban were, and they oppress women in horrendous ways. As a result, suicides are more numerous today than ever before."
And we should note that back at home the Street Health Report has shown that homeless people's health is deteriorating too and many are attempting suicide.
Joya runs the Hamoon Clinic in Farah province - the only health care centre in the area that offers free services, including medication, to its patients, who are mainly women and children. She reports that the Northern Alliance warlords, who we help control much of Afghanistan: "kidnap girls and women and rape them regularly."
"We need the material support of Canadians for health and education in Afghanistan, not for the warlords, druglords and criminals."
She also advises us to take heed: "The US and Canada are supporting the sworn enemies of our people. If they continue this wrong policy, one day they will be faced with the massive resistance of our people, as our history shows."
We must be brave like Joya and honest like Gannon. We must roar against the Conservative and Liberal vote that extended Canada's mission to 2011.
We must bring our young soldiers home safely. Canada must give real aid – and reparations – to Afghanistan, and we want aid in the form of housing in Canada.
Stephen Harper and Stéphane Dion - Put down the guns and pick up the hammers and nails!
Housing Not War for Canada and Afghanistan!
The TDRC Housing Not War campaign is one expression of what Canadians want – housing, childcare, education, improved care for our seniors and attention to the environment. Please go to our website and sign our declaration!
3. Who's Hot, Who's Not!
Who's Hot?
Federal NDP leader Jack Layton and housing activist Michael Shapcott for dedicating a good deal of time and energy and care in preparing a newly revised and updated book on homelessness. I had the great honour of writing the forward. Homelessness, How to End the National Crisis, is in paperback and at a reasonable price of $20, published by Penguin Canada.
The 3,000 plus anti-war resisters who turned out March 15 for a spirited Housing Not War rally in Toronto, to protest Canada's military effort in Afghanistan.
Ontario NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo for introducing a bill in the Ontario Legislature which would enshrine in Ontario law the right to housing.
Who's Not!
Margaret Wente, Globe and Mail columnist who, in the aftermath of Robert Maurice's death, actually wrote that although Mr. Maurice had a home "… he preferred the streets." She later adds: "Homeless people can be awfully hard to help," and she encouraged everyone to watch a CBC reality show that paired 'helpers' with 'the homeless' (full article from March 18 can be seen on G&M website).
Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan. Once again, no money for new housing in the government's budget. Meanwhile they sit on $165 million in unspent federal housing money from 2006, of that $80 million that is targeted for off-reserve aboriginal housing.
The security guards at 38 Avenue Road, the Prince Arthur private residences, for not allowing me to finish a cell phone radio interview about the provincial budget when I wandered into their courtyard/driveway to avoid the background noise of Avenue Road. Maybe they thought I was homeless!

In addition, the benefits appeared to be enhanced when a self-management education program was added, Daniel S. Rooks, Sc.D., of Harvard, and colleagues, reported in the Nov. 12 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
A randomized trial found a statistically significant improvement of 25% among women assigned to an exercise program plus a self-help course, compared with no benefit for those given only the self-help course, said Dr. Rooks, now with Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass., and colleagues.
This study suggested that progressive walking, simple strength training movements, and stretching activities can improve physical, emotional, and social function, key symptoms, and self-efficacy in women with fibromyalgia being actively treated with medication, the researchers wrote.
The benefits of exercise, when combined with targeted self-management education, continued for six months after completion of the intervention, the researchers said.
Fibromyalgia affects approximately 3.4% of women and 0.5% of men in the U.S., according to the researchers. But even with the 2004 FDA approval of pregabalin (Lyrica), drug therapy is often insufficient to resolve persistent symptoms or improve functional limitations and quality of life, they wrote.
To compare the effectiveness of four common self-management treatments on function, symptoms, and self efficacy, the researchers recruited 207 women from 2002 through 2004, all taking medication. They were randomly assigned to one of four groups for 16 weeks. A total of 135 women completed the study.
The groups included aerobic and flexibility exercise; strength training added to aerobic and flexibility exercise (three-part workout); the Arthritis Foundation's Fibromyalgia Self-Help Course; or a combination of the three-part exercise program plus the self-help course.
The exercise groups met twice weekly, gradually increasing the length and intensity of workouts, with instructions to perform a third day of exercise on their own.
The seven-session self-management education program provided information about fibromyalgia, taught self-management skills in daily activities, and suggested ways to manage symptoms and incorporate wellness activities, including exercise, into daily life. Information was provided through lectures (five to 15 minutes) with group discussion and supplementary readings.
All exercise programs lasted about 60 minutes beginning with a brief warm-up walking on a treadmill and then progressing to a self-determined level of moderate effort for a predetermined amount of time.
As measured by two self-assessment questionnaires and a performance test (the Fibromylagia Impact Questionnaire score), all exercise groups showed greater improvement in function compared with the education group, the researchers reported.
In the four groups, the improvements in the mean Fibromyalgia Impact score were:
- −12.7 for the strength, aerobic, and flexibility (full exercise) group plus the education program
- −8.2 for the aerobic and flexibility group alone (no strength training)
- −6.6 for the three-part exercise group alone (these women divided their time between aerobic exercise, flexibility, and strength training)
- −0.3 for the education group alone
Examination of the Fibromyalgia Impact total score total showed that women in the full exercise plus education group demonstrated a 25% greater improvement than the education-alone group (mean difference, −12.4, 95% confidence interval: −23.1 to −1.7).
Bodily pain scores on the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey improved in the three-part exercise plus education group (14.8), the aerobic/flexibility group (13.2), and in the three-part exercise group (5.7).
Social function, mental health, fatigue, depression, and self-efficacy also improved in the groups that exercised.
Among the study's limitations was the fact that the study was designed not to have a group that received no intervention to minimize bias of interpersonal contact with persons in active interventions. Therefore, it was not possible to determine how an intervention group compared with no treatment.
Also about one-third of the overall sample dropped out, a rate similar to previous fibromyalgia studies that used comparable interventions.
|This research was supported by an Arthritis Foundation Investigator Award and National Institutes of Health grants.
The investigators reported no financial conflicts.

Of Madmen and Pedophiles
April was the cruelest month for Australia. Worst of all was Sunday's mass murder in Tasmania, when a mentally disturbed man ran amok with semi-automatic weapons, killing 35 people and injuring nearly two dozen others at a popular resort. Meanwhile, Australia remained in world headlines as spectacular allegations and revelations continued to emerge about the alleged activities of an Australian diplomat and other pedophiles at home and around Asia.
Child sex, sex tourism and random violence are among the most disturbing trends...

Let our scars fall in lovePosted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2013 by armedlittleboy
"We're all seeking that special person who is right for us.
But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavors of wrong… because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness.
And it isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems- the ones that make you truly who you are- that we're ready to find a lifelong mate.
Only then do you finally know what you're looking for.
You're looking for the wrong person.
But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person- someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, this is the problem I want to have.
I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. Let our scars fall in love."

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman,
Not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
and you learn and learn…
With every good bye you learn.

"As an atheist, I see nothing "wrong" in believing in a god. I don't think there is a god, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that's fine with me. It's when belief starts infringing on other people's rights when it worries me. I would never deny your right to believe in a god. I would just rather you didn't kill people who believe in a different god, say. Or stone someone to death because your rulebook says their sexuality is immoral. It's strange that anyone who believes that an all-powerful all-knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are." – Ricky Gervais

Now this is of course a favorite work of preschoolers and today I let my kids do the real deal. It was FANTASTICALLY FUN! We usually just sponge bath Kylee or I will bring her in the bath with me or just wash her hair quick with the sprayer in the sink. Today was a rainy-yucky day, however, and the boys were feeling a little cooped up so I thought it would be a good thing to make a big deal out of. We ventured into the basement for our baby bathtub (thank goodness Aidan remembered where the light switch was!) and laid out the towels on the dining room floor (more room than in the bathroom). The kids gathered the neccessary supplies and then picked out new clothes for her and helped with the whole thing. They had a blast gently pouring water over her belly and helping wipe her arms and legs. Caleb brought one of his singing bath tub dolphins into her little tub and she got a huge grin on her face every time he made it work.
Aidan volunteered to be our photographer and document the experience for us, but we couldn't get the camera to work. :(

As 2012 draws to a close, time to reflect on the bus activity throughout the past year.
2012 has been a huge year for Anglianbus, probably the most significant in the company's history, with the highlight being sold to major bus operator The Go-Ahead Group, in April. and since then, Anglian has expanded its network at quite a fast pace.
With the backing from Go-Ahead Anglian have been have able to fight back at First, with more frequent journeys on the A47 / X47, the introduction of new 146 Service between Norwich & Lowestoft and emerging new services in Ipswich specifically targeted against First Ipswich.
In April Anglianbus moved towards modern bus travel by introducing Smart Cards. There were three types introduced; Stored Value, UCAN Travel & Scholar which have since proven to be very successful.
Anglian have also made another successful move to get recognised and attract more people to their services by acquiring 13 MAN EcoCity Gas buses with help from The Green Bus Fund. Only six have arrived so far with seven more expected throughout January 2013.
Anglianbus were the first company to run these buses in the UK thanks to MAN delivering six of them three weeks early. Anglian placed an order for these after a successful trial with demonstrator WX61FXO in December 2011.
Since being part of the Go-Ahead group, Anglianbus have been on the receiving end of inter-company transfers with no less than 20 buses transferred to Anglian throughout the year with a majority of them coming from Metrobus & Brighton & Hove. They were Scania OmniCitys & Dennis Tridents.(Except YN05HFE being written off on its first week of service)
I think that without a doubt, we will see Anglian bus' network expand even further in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft & Ipswich and see Anglian's fleet at both Rackheath & Beccles expand throughout 2013.
The start of the year saw Konectbus receive their first two 54 Reg bendy buses branded for Costessey Park & Ride from Hants & Dorset's Trim Workshop.
In January Konectbus withdrew 6 of their Optare Excels MK1's with most of them being cannibalised, this was followed more recently be the Optare Excels MK2's being transferred to Hedignham Omnibuses.
In October Konectbus started to receive their 5 Brand new Enviro400's for the 3 & 6, the first being SN62AVG.
Also in October, konectbus achieved a 97% level of passenger satisfaction in a recent survey of Go-Ahead Group bus operators outside London. Konectbus was the best performer out of the 11 Go-Ahead companies surveyed. The survey took part on 8 different konectbus routes throughout peak and off-peak times to give a fair representation of their services.
In November Konectbus launched their new Konectexpress 2 service which linked Sheringham & Cromer with Norwich, which competes against Sanders Services.
First Eastern Counties
Also in October, First made changes to their X1 Service with more "X1 Shorts" between Norwich & Great Yarmouth in addition to the half hourly express between Lowestoft & Peterborough Via Norwich, Great Yarmouth & Kings Lynn. This wasn't long after Anglianbus increased the frequceny of the A47 Service and brought back the X47.
44512 DK57SXF - Lowestoft
44513 DK57SXG - Lowestoft
44928 EU08FHB - Lowestoft
45116 VT09JPT - Lowestoft
45117 ST58JPT - Lowestoft
45118 ST09JPT - Lowestoft
45119 RT09JPT - Lowestoft
More recently First have refreshed their X2 to route with the new First Livery and route branding in an attempt to fight back at Anglians 146 Service.
Swift Taxis
It's been a very quiet year for Swift, with the only noteworthy change being double decker SE51DZV leaving the fleet after finally finding a buyer with Richards Coaches.
Finally, FJ53VDL has been sitting at the back of the Southtown road yard for weeks with a shattered rear window, and Swift are evidently in no rush to repair it following the withdrawal of the 206 service on the 18th December 2012.
Hopefully in 2013 Swift will seize back some of its old contracts so we can once again see the large Swift Coach fleet which we used to know.
The only fleet change is the more recent acquisition of a Plaxton Beaver SN53KZV.
The Seafront & Brittania Pier Circular Service made its annual return and was operated by SF54OUY. It started as always at the end of July and ran throughout Augsust and finsihed at the Start of September.
Ambassador Travel
In March Ambassador won some contracts off Anglianbus, they were 102, 570 & 577 they started on the 3rd April.
Also throughout the year Ambassador have been using some of their sister companies buses on their Yarmouth based routes, one example being K262FUV.
In September, Ambassador lost the 731 Service contract to Anglianbus .
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to the blog throughout the year.
Zak & I (Joe) look forward to reporting on here in the new year.
Happy New Year!

Game Rule SET OF FOUR (classic game)
This card game is divided into eight sets of four, so there are 32 cards in the game. Quartets (set of four) are played with three or more players with the objective of winning all eight sets. Each card has its own number and letter, starting from 1A, 1B, 1C, and ending with H4. All of the cards are shuffled and dealt out to the players. The player to the dealer's left starts by asking another
player if he has a certain card (i.e. D2) which would help the player assemble a set of four. If the player does have the card, he hands it over. If the player doesn't, it becomes his turn to ask.
When a set of four is created or a complete set was dealt, it is placed in front of the player. The game ends when all sets of four have been assembled. The winner is the player with the highest number of completed sets. Have fun!
Game Rule SET OF FOUR (top trumps)
All cards are shuffled and dealt out to the players. There must be at least two players and at least one card for each player. The player who starts selects a category from his highest card and reads out its value (i.e. born on 3 Jan. 1967). Each of the other players then announces his card value of the same category. The best value wins the "trick". You decide before playing if, for
example, a higher value wins.
The winner takes all cards of the trick and places them at the bottom of his pile. That player then looks at his new highest card and chooses again a value for the next round. In the event of a draw, the cards are placed in the center and a new category is chosen from the next card by the same person as in the previous round. The winner of the new round recieves all of the cards in the center as well as the top card from each player. Players are eliminated by losing all their cards. The winner is the player who collects the entire pack.
Have fun!

Avoid the crowds and get amazing shots of one of Utah's most iconic arches.
First and foremost: Don't attempt to climb the arch at night. It's potentially unsafe and the BLM has banned roped activities meaning that you would have to go ropeless. Save this activity for the daytime or avoid it altogether.
This is a quick 1.5 mile one-way hike to the arch. The trail is well-marked, easy to follow, and only gains 440 feet. Although it's an easy trail to this scenic view, it often can get overlooked by people heading to Delicate Arch. If you're staying in Moab, head out around or after sunset and take the quick hike to this arch, which is also adjacent to bow tie arch. Remember to bring a headlamp for the hike back.

Truly Amazing
This arch will be uncrowned and the stars are great at night. The hike is not super difficult to follow.
We went there to take pictures and it was just divine. We had the place to ourselves for most of the 4 hours we were there. Easy hike, and we didn't even need our headlamps at night since the moon was very bright. Amazing.

Merchantmen in Action
Published by Fonthill Media - ISBN 978-1-78155-045-8
In spring 1941, when the Merchant Navy was losing on average 130 ships a month, the unbreakable resolve of these civilian seafarers was all that held Britain back from inglorious defeat. Their courage and tenacity saved the lives of millions in the bleakest episodes of the War, and contributed substantially to some of the most celebrated Allied victories.
Roy V. Martin describes the evacuations from Dunkirk and Singapore, unravelling the truth from deep-rooted myth, but also the lesser-known evacuations in which hundreds of thousands of lives were saved. The Merchant Navy's support of the landings in Africa, the Mediterranean and Normandy, where nearly 1,000 merchant ships manned by up to 50,000 civilian seamen delivered troops, supplies and two prefabricated harbours.
The Merchant Navy shouldered the greatest burden and suffered the greatest losses; yet their ranks, from 14-year-old boys to 74-year-old-men, were frequently neglected by the authorities and the public.
