New Evidence Suggests GTA V DLC May Have Been Planned
While most of us can agree that GTA 5 was a high point for Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games, and open world titles in general, it still sucks that we've yet to see any single player DLC.
New evidence – found by some dedicated fans over at the GTAForums – might well point to the the fact that Rockstar were indeed working on DLC for the game at some point.
A few community members on the forums have found proof that Rockstar were actually working on recreating Liberty City in GTA 5's engine, which sounds pretty exciting.
It's not clear whether this was for the GTA Online aspect of the game, if Rockstar were planning to use it as single player content, or if some of the developers were just fucking around to see what they could build – but it's definitely Liberty City.
Their evidence comes from the portfolio of Adrian Page, an artist at Rockstar since 2011. Page's portfolio contains several screenshots of GTA 5, including alpha and beta builds all the way through to launch.
One eagle eyed forum member by the name of BlackScout noticed the Middle Park location from GTA 4, clearly rendered in a new engine.
Poster WildBrick142 then tried to recreate the same screenshot using the video editor in GTA 4 to compare the two scenes, and it looks like it's a match. Take a look at the comparison below.
Rumours of Liberty City DLC have floated around since even before GTA V saw release. Ex-Rockstar North president, Leslie Benzies previously talked about the possibility of one world connecting all GTA cities back in 2012.
Again, bear in mind that this isn't a confirmation of any kind, and it really could be any number of things – The discussion rages on over at the GTAForums.
Still, it's pretty awesome to know that Liberty City is still in the hearts and minds of the folk at Rockstar. It'd be better if we ever actually got some single player DLC for GTA 5, but we take our victories where we can.

before the shoot | the day of the shoot | after the shoot | copyright & licensing | storage & archiving
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking, and Direct Debit is the preferred method of payment of your deposit. I will forward you a tax invoice via email with all relevant banking and ABN details. Payment is required in full before the shoot commences. Balance owing paid in cash on the day is acceptable, but must be paid before the shoot commences.
You will need to sign the photoshoot contract before the shoot commences. I cannot start your photoshoot session without payment in full and a signed contract. This is for the protection and well-being of both parties. I will email you a PDF copy for you to print, read and sign. You can give this to me on the day of the shoot.
Session payment is non-refundable once the session time has begun. If you are unable to make your session, let me know before the shoot and we can postpone until a more favourable day and time. If I arrive at the shoot and you then let me know you're unavailable (or I arrive and you don't turn up) then the entire session fee will still be payable in full.
You will need to prepare a space for me to work in, no smaller than 3 metres by 4 metres. This space needs to be covered - I will not set up in the open, eg the back yard. Inside is preferable; a shaded, covered back verandah will also suffice, but be aware that sunlight will affect the final photos, perhaps in a negative way. If you have any concerns about the area you intend to use, simply take a photo of the area with your mobile phone's camera and send it to me in a text message. I'll let you know if it's suitable, and if not, what can be done to make it suitable.
I will need access to a standard 10 amp power point, so please keep that in mind when choosing the work area.
When I arrive, you will need to hand over the signed photoshoot contract, and if any money is still owing for the shoot, you must pay in full before I set up my gear.
I will spend 20 minutes setting up the lighting and the backdrop, and some time getting acquainted with your pet. The personality and character of each pet is different, and each will take their own time to become comfortable with me. This is a very important step.
It is critically important that the mood of the shoot be calm and peaceful. I will not shoot with any more than two others in the room - preferably just one other (an owner). I will not tolerate owners shouting commands at the animal, or making constant loud noises (clapping excessively, whistling, etc). I reserve the right to cancel the shoot without refund if these conditions cannot be met, or if my requests during the shoot go unheeded.
Any breakages to my equipment caused by unruly pets (or owners!) must be paid for in full. This is another reason why it is important to keep your pet/s calm - they can easily knock over lighting stands and backdrops if they are over-excited.
You will receive the best of each pose, in its final edited format. You won't receive every single photo taken in a shoot (depending on the package you've chosen, you will get a set number of photos).
I will not, under any circumstances, release unedited photos. Please do not ask.
If your package choice includes printed items, please be aware that these take time to manufacture and print. Once the photos have been edited and are ready for your final inspection, I will post them to a secure area on my website for you to browse. From here you will choose which photos to include on your CD, and which photo/s are to be used for print media.
Editing photos takes a lot of time and effort - usually around 6-8 hours for each hour in a photoshoot session. You should receive your log-in details to my website within three weeks of the shoot. Of course, I will keep you informed and if it's around a busy period (wedding season, for example) final photos could take up to five weeks to be completed. If you need photos quickly, please discuss with me as soon as possible and we can come to an arrangement.
Many people use Facebook and Google+ as a means of social networking and communicating. Unless indicated otherwise on the contract, I will assume that I have your permission to post samples of your final photos on my Facebook page. If I have you added as a friend, I can tag you. I will use my discretion in the photos that I post. You are welcome to share, download, copy these photos provided you give credit to Stephen Carter in every instance. You must not alter these photos in any way.
In all cases, copyright of all images remains with Stephen Carter. This means that unless you have arranged and paid for a licensing agreement with Stephen Carter Photography you are not permitted to use photos for commercial purposes. This includes (but is not limited to) submission to magazines, websites, stock photo companies, advertising agencies etc. You are, however, allowed to submit a photo to a magazine or website for the purposes of a competition or for "social" pages.
I place a small, unobtrusive logo in the corner of each photo you will receive on your disc. If you would like prints of photos without this logo, you may order those through me. I do not inflate the cost of prints, and I do only use the highest quality museum grade inks and paper (unlike budget print houses such as Big W and Harvey Norman). Please allow me ease your mind about the logo on the images - it is small and unobtrusive; it's more like the signature of an artist on a canvas painting, and does not detract from the photo at all.
There is logic behind this - as an artist, I am proud of my work! If someone were to admire the photo, they can say "Ahh, your pet portrait looks lovely, and that's one of Stephen Carter's photos!".
Another, less-known but more valid reason is the copyright laws that all photographers work under (even if many of them aren't aware of their rights and responsibilities). Under Australian law, copyright for a photo taken is automatically assigned to the photographer. In years gone by, this meant that the film negatives remained in the ownership of the photographer (these days, the digital files remain with the photographer). A contract between client and photographer can, however, state differently - for example, granting total ownership to the client, or granting a license allowing the client to have prints made at a photo booth such as found at Big W or Ted's Camera House. However, licences add (sometimes considerably) to the cost of a photo shoot. These laws are in place to protect the professional photographer's livelihood and professional value. They also clarify where each party stands should a dispute arise.
Sadly, the 'weekend warrior' photographers have trampled all over the photography industry, offering extremely low rates (and usually low quality of service and photos) so we professionals must compete somehow.
Under no circumstances are you to alter, edit, change, adjust or modify the photos. This includes (but is not limited to) the removal of the Stephen Carter Photography logo, cropping, colour adjustment, or any "photoshopping" of any kind. You are not permitted to give images to someone to edit or alter, whether in a professional capacity or otherwise. If you need a photo adjusted, please contact me and I will gladly assist.
You are welcome to print the medium resolution images provided to you on CD for your personal use or as gifts only.
You are welcome to use the low resolution images provided to you on CD for your portfolio, your website, email, etc. provided written credit is given to Stephen Carter.
A link-back to Scart Photography on Facebook and/or the Scart Photography website is always greatly appreciated, wherever possible.
I retain the right to use, at my discretion, photos for advertising, marketing and promotional purposes. At all times I will use good judgement in the choice and use of photos.
Please contact me if you have need to licence images or wish to commission me to take photos for a particular purpose.
For more information on Australian copyright law, please visit www.artslaw.com.au/info-sheets/info-sheet/copyright/
Please be aware that photograph in their high resolution format take up considerable storage space. Once you have received your CD of final edited images, I will keep your high resolution images on my hard disk storage facilities for no more than one year.
After one year, I will, at my discretion, delete photos to make more storage space available. I will retain some photos to use for marketing and promotional use (as per the copyright conditions).

d. David Fincher
"You never know what's coming for you."
So says a number of characters in David Fincher's excellent film, and in many ways, it speaks about events within the film as well as commenting on the narrative. Showing the same masterly restraint (compared to his earlier work) that steered his overlooked Zodiac, Benjamin Button is many ways a study of life's lessons over time as the former film was a study of procedure and investigation over time.
Fincher's control and exercise in period detail help support a strong romantic story about the person (Brad Pitt) who was born old and grows younger as time passes. We learn as the character learns how life has its own plans and how one can live within that. It is in many ways a very tragic tale as the story, framed in the present in a hospital ward where the dying Daisy (a luminous Cate Blanchett) is tended by her daughter, centers on Daisy's doomed romance with Benjamin.
When Benjamin is born, a wrinkled dying baby, his father, horrified, abandons him at the steps of a nursing home. It is this setting where time's inexorable forward march and life's fleetingness surrounds Benjamin; people come and go, either through death or traveling through. As he grows younger, he meets Daisy when she is but 5 years old, but it is love at first sight. They meet time and again as she grows older, and despite our hopes that theirs is an eternal love story, we know as the characters also know, that nothing is perfect forever.
Along the way, Benjamin meets many interesting characters who help teach him about life and its passing. His adoptive mother, played brilliantly by Taraji Henson, loves him and treats him as the son she always wanted. Everyone from his father (Mahershalalashbaz Ali) who quotes Shakespeare, to the tugboat captain (Jared Harris) who reveals his desire to be an artist, to his first real love (Tilda Swinton) who attempted to swim the Channel, all teach him that there is more to people than meets the eye; that, like himself, you can't judge a book by its cover, and that there is depth beneath the skin. Each actor does amazing work here, all better supported by a great script by Eric Roth (no stranger to the historical epic as he also wrote Forrest Gump and Munich).
And through it all there are portents of fate, that, in spite of the opening story of Gateau and his desire to turn back time with his backwards counting clock and regain his son who was killed in WWI, time cannot be thwarted. And as Benjamin grows older and towards his inescapable fate, so too does the story countdown to when Katrina makes landfall in New Orleans, its flood waters rising to wash away the past in an unforgettable last image.
This haunting tale of love, loss and life is carried on the talented (and perfectly formed) shoulders of Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, whose performances shine brightly. Outstanding work by everyone involved.
**** stars.

Tax arrangements are perceived as a complex and risky business which many organisations avoid tackling despite the opportunities which bona fide, well structured tax planning can provide.
Our tax team provides advice in respect of:
- Employee benefits and incentives: structuring your payroll to incentivise employees whilst securing considerable tax savings.
- Personal tax planning: structuring your personal affairs in a tax efficient manner, maximising available reliefs.
Why are employee incentives a good option?
- They help to recruiting new employees
- They are particularly useful in retaining key employees, especially in businesses which cannot afford to reward with salary increases now
- They motivate key employees and 'lock them in' to the business, which is significant in those sectors where there is keen competition for talent
- Aligning owner and employee interests
- They are cash cost efficient
- A low risk Government backed arrangements
- Provide tax benefits for employers and employees
Questions you should be asking yourself as a business owner
- Are your key people locked-in and motivated?
- As business owners, would you give a share of ownership in exchange for enhanced overall value?
Which organisations do employee incentives help?
Potentially any but they are particularly attractive to:
- Company limited by shares
- Open-minded business owners
- Key employees with no existing stake
- Organisations with growth potential
- Businesses where exit or listing a realistic aim
- A desire to secure tax efficiencies
- People are the business' key assets
Why is personal tax planning attractive?
- Planning can help to mitigate Inheritance Tax ("IHT")
- The savings can be considerable as IHT is paid for all amounts above the nil rate band
- The increase in property valuations have exposed many estates to IHT
- They are reliefs that are available which can provide 100% relief from IHT including Business Property Relief (BPR) and Agricultural Property Relief ("APR")
Question you should be asking yourself in relation to personal tax planning
Are you aware of your potential IHT exposures and the steps you can take to mitigate them?
Who should be thinking about personal tax planning
Anyone! However, it is of particular interest if:
- Your estate is worth £2m - £10m+
- You own your own business
- You have significant shareholdings/farming assets
- You are considering (or have made) a material asset disposal
- You want to pass a business/farm on to a family member
- You are keen to provide for your families tax efficiently
- You are facing potential IHT issues

Affirmation Cards are a great way of helping you to focus on your goals and desires, they can also help you to change your moods, vibration and health.
The use of affirmations would normally be to help affirm a state of being you wish to adopt.
This could be to help you feel better about your body or body image, to help you to change a negative feeling that you have been holding, or affirmations can be used when you are consciously using the Law of Attraction to achieve a certain experience.
They work on the principle that we are what we think, and by choosing to think a certain thought, we can choose to be who we wish to be.
When it comes to the Law of Attraction, you will see repeated throughout this website that, by thinking and feeling in a certain way, through the Law of Attraction, certain events, circumstances and people are aligned to us in order for us to continue to think and feel the same way.
For example, if someone was to think about the lack of money they were experiencing, and worry about not having enough, through the Law of Attraction, certain events, circumstance and people would align to that person in order for them to continue to think lack and feel worry.
Therefore, to change an experience we must change how we think and feel, we must choose to think in a way, and feel in a way, that would match how we would think and feel if that desired experience we wished for was already with us.
But this doesn't just work more money, it works for all experiences.
If someone were to think they were overweight, and worry about their body image, through the Law of Attraction, certain events, circumstance and people would align to that person in order for them to continue to think fat and feel overweight.
Similarly, if someone were to think they were alone, and felt unloved, through the Law of Attraction, certain events, circumstance and people would align to that person in order for them to continue to be lonely and feel unloved.
And to change any of these experiences, whatever they were, we would have to begin with a change in our thought.
Affirmations and using affirmation cards can help you change your thoughts by replacing the old unwanted thoughts with thoughts that are structured specifically to the things you wish to achieve.
They work on the principle that a positive and negative exist at the same place at the same time, and that by positively affirming, you will replace any destructive way of thinking you have.
But of course, to do this, you must affirm often, and by placing affirmation cards in places that you will regularly see, you will remind yourself to think constructively as much as you can.
But affirmation cards do not have to be expensive, well designed cards, (although there are some lovely, pre-made affirmation cards available), they could just be simple Postit reminders placed around your home.
You could even use photographs as reminders of what you should be thinking and feeling in order to experience your desires.
To change an experience we must change how we think and feel, we must choose to think in a way, and feel in a way, that would match how we would think and feel if that desired experience was already with us.
The following are good examples of affirmation cards that are available as either pre-written cards. You can use these cards to come up with your own ideas and create your own affirmations that relate to your own specific goals.
You'll also find a great selection of affirmation cards here.
This set of 64 affirmation cards have been beautifully illustrated with each card containing a empowering affirmation, along with an inspiring and enlightening visualization.
They have been created by Louise Hay, a metaphysical teacher, life coach and best selling author who created and owns HayHouse Inc.
Another set of affirmation tools from Louise Hay, again beautifully created and very effective.
These cards deal with areas of our lives that we may wish to feel better about, from wealth health and success, to relationships, self esteem and romance.
You'll find that these cards will help you to bring back your power and offer you a sense of contentment and joy.
This set of 60 beautifully illustrated and colorful cards bring to us the teachings of Abraham.
They have been produced by Jerry and Ester Hicks as a reminder of the teachings of Abraham, with each card containing an affirmation statement along with an explanation of how the Laws of the Universe apply to us.
As we have explored, the Law of Attraction will align to your reality experience that match the way we think and feel. The trouble is, that as we have to change our thoughts to change our experiences, and all to often, our way of thinking has been practised from when we were children, change if difficult to achieve.
Were you ever told as a child that you could be, do or have anything you desired?
This set of affirmation cards will help children realize their power, helping them to create magnificent worlds for themselves.
The best-selling Law of Attraction book Ask and It Is Given deals with how to apply the Law of Attraction to your life, teaching you how to get from where you are today, to where you would like to be.
These affirmation cards are beautifully designed, and will help you to reinforce the teaching of Abraham.

Got a little work done on the '89 Sportster today. Removed the ugly ass turn signals and used an idea from Jay at Special 79 and built a bracket for these mini LEDs. Also took all that bullshit off the handlebars and made a little housing for the turn signal, horn, and a 3 position headlight switch.

-Motivational Blog Posts To Encourage You To Stay On The Mainstream Path Of Faith-
What Life Means
I feel the need to explain this because I don't think everyone gets it. If you look around you in your own personal life, you will see what I mean. Life is not explainable to some. Some, maybe you, don't know your purpose. Maybe you think there is no purpose. Maybe you think there might be a purpose, but you choose to not care or have never put the effort into to searching for it. I am here to tell you that there is meaning to life. Have you ever felt that desire to know why you may feel empty? Maybe you have searched out happiness, but came to dead ends. Maybe you find it for a moment, but it seems to die out. It's okay to feel empty and incomplete. You are not the only one. I have bad news for the ones who feel empty: you will never find true joy or fulfillment in life anywhere in this earth. That's the truth. That drive you may have towards sex, drugs, alcohol, video games, or anything you are pursuing. It can be good things too. "If I just had a steady paying job, then I would be truly happy" or, "When I find the love of my life and start a family, then I will finally be happy" or even, "If I just live a life looking for the good times and live for the moment, I'll be able to make it." Life isn't a game; this is reality. There is a true meaning to life. Let me save you from going down a road leading to pain. I don't think anyone wishes to live a life to a dead end. You don't want to live your life searching and get to the end feeling like you've lost. I never had true fulfillment in life until I was completed. I found the piece to my life I needed. If you start to disagree with what I am about to say, still try to read to the end. Maybe I can change your mind. I don't want to sound crazy or put a story in your head. I just want to tell you what is real to me and can be real to you also, and that is a relationship with God. I think that's when life became real to me; I realized that I had a Creator and would rather put my trust in Him than in myself. I think it just makes sense to put trust in someone with full control, than in myself who has no control. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (He's all powerful, all knowing, and everywhere). He has control, He knows what's best, and He is always with me. I don't know how it doesn't make sense to ask Him to guide my life instead of blindly doing it on my own. He honestly makes life so much less stressful. I never need to worry about anything, knowing that God has His reasons. But having a relationship with God is not something that you just decide to do. God is perfect; you are not, nor is anyone. God can't have someone as awful and wretched as us in His presence. He is far beyond holy, and we are less valuable than dirt. That's why God gave us His word. It teaches who we are, who He is, and what He did for me and you. Maybe you don't believe in the Bible. Well, it hasn't been proven wrong yet. It's stood the test of time, It's the most sold and smuggled book in the world, and it's made obvious the need of a Saviour in the lives of those who accept its truth. If you don't believe in the Bible, why not give it a chance today. I will give you some basic points that I have learned from God's word that have changed my life. First, the Bible tells me I am a sinner, someone who makes mistakes, falls to temptation, and breaks God's holy law. He set a foundation that I should live by, and I have broken it. I may not be the worst person in your eyes, but in God's all he sees is a filthy heart. I have recognized that I am a sinner that has to pay for what I have done. God can't just sweep my sin under the carpet. A payment has to be made. Romans 6:23 tells me that the payment for my sin is death. Yes, I have been condemned to death. I am a sinner; you are a sinner. We are ALL sentenced to death, but God didn't stop there. This story doesn't have to have a sad ending. If you finish the verse up above, there's a second part to it. God gives a gift. "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." God made a way for us to still be united with Him. He sent a sacrifice to take the place for something you and I did. He sent His only son! God gave up His son, Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life, to be a pure sacrifice for the sins you and I commit every single day. That must have been so hard to do. Does that not sound awful? If you knew someone deserved death, would you give up your son to take his place? Does that even make sense? God gave his only son to die on a cross as a payment for the world's sin. He died taking those sins to the grave with Him. Sounds like a sad story. Don't worry, it's not over. You see, Jesus didn't stay in the grave. Three days later he rose from the dead, and guess what He didn't bring with Him? The weight and power of sin was not strong enough for God. He left those sins in the ground, and through His son, made a way for us to have full unity with Him. God made a purpose for my life and yours. Our purpose is to accept that gift of life and live for Him. He gave the perfect sacrifice and through his grace, He made a way to be saved from sin. Sin leads to vanity. It may feel good for a moment, but it will pass away. God is eternal. Accepting the gift of life is everlasting. True joy is only found in Jesus Christ.
Now it's time for you to make a decision. God gives us the choice to accept the gift of His son, or to live life the way we want. The choice is obvious to me, but I can't make the decision for you. It's time for you to choose. Maybe you think, "I'm not that bad" or, "If I just be good God will have to accept me." Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Isaiah 64:6 tells me that my 'good' works are like filthy rags. We can't work our way to salvation. We can't work our way to fulfillment in life. You need to come to the realization that you are a sinner and deserve death, but God has given you an opportunity to accept His son, Jesus Christ, and to save you. It's not a magic potion; there's no magic words to say. Romans 10:9-10 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." It's really not hard to understand. You have two choices before you. You can choose to surrender your life over to Christ, or you can live on the rebellious path you have started. Come to Christ now before it's too late. Come to God and ask for forgiveness; He won't forsake you. Know that there is a purpose in life. My purpose is to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. I just want to be a blessing. I have my purpose in life; what's yours?

Ertugrul Osman, who might have ruled the Ottoman empire from a palace in Istanbul, but instead spent most of his life in a walk-up apartment in Manhattan, died Wednesday night in Istanbul. He was 97.
The cause was kidney failure, according to his wife, Zeynep, who was visiting Istanbul with him when he died.
Mr. Osman was a descendant of Osman I, the Anatolian ruler who in 1299 established the kingdom that eventually controlled parts of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Mr. Osman would have eventually become the Sultan but for the establishment of the Turkish Republic, proclaimed in 1923.
For the last 64 years, Mr. Osman formally His Imperial Highness Prince Ertugrul Osman lived in a rent-controlled apartment in a four-story building on Lexington Avenue in the East 70s. At one time he kept 12 dogs in his home, a two-bedroom unit up a narrow, dim stairway, and enlisted neighborhood children to walk them.
Given the gap between what might have been and what was, Mr. Osman was often asked if he dreamed that the empire would be restored. He always answered, flatly, no.
"I'm a very practical person," he told The New York Times in 2006. "Democracy works well in Turkey."
In an interview for Al Jazeera television in 2008, he refused to say an unkind word about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who led the revolution that deposed his family.
Ali Tayar, an architect from Istanbul and a friend, said in 2006 that Mr. Osman had "no ambitions to return, and he doesn't want anyone to think he does."
"But he's an incredibly important link to Turkey's past," Mr. Tayar added.
Born in 1912, Mr. Osman was the last surviving grandson of an Ottoman emperor; his grandfather, Abdul Hamid II, ruled from 1876 to 1909. In 1924, the royal family was expelled by Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. "The men had one day to leave," Mr. Osman said. "The women were given a week."
Mr. Osman attended school in Vienna and moved to New York in 1939. He returned to Turkey for the first time 53 years later, in August 1992, at the invitation of the prime minister. On that trip, he went to see the 285-room Dolmabahce Palace, which had been his grandfather's home (and where he had played as a child). He insisted on joining a tour group, despite the summer heat. "I didn't want a fuss," he said. "I'm not that kind of person."
As a young man, Mr. Osman ran a mining company, Wells Overseas, which required him to travel frequently to South America. Because he considered himself a citizen of the Ottoman Empire, he refused to carry the passport of any country. Instead, he traveled with a certificate devised by his lawyer. That might have continued to work had security measures not been tightened after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In 2004, he received a Turkish passport for the first time.
Mr. Osman married Gulda Twerskoy in 1947. She died in 1985. At a party in 1987, he met Zeynep Tarzi Hanim, an Afghan princess. Nearly 30 years his junior, she had been raised in Istanbul and was living in New York. They married in 1991. He has no other survivors.
Mr. Osman often impressed interviewers with his dry wit and knowledge of trends in politics, architecture and pop culture. When Didem Yilmaz, a filmmaker, interviewed Mr. Osman for "Seeking the Sultan," a short documentary film about him, she expected to find him bitter about his life's trajectory. Instead, she said, she found him to be "kind, understanding and contemplative."
At one point, she added, he said to her knowingly, "If I had a bad life, it would be better for your film."

Chris Tymchuck now leads the estate planning & probate department at SeilerSchindel
Unique Legal Blog
What Is the SECURE Act?
Elder Care Mediation Series, Part 2: An Example
Elder Care Mediation Series, Part 1: What Is It?
Chris prepared an Estate Plan for my partner and I. I work in the legal field but know very little about Estate Planning. Chris met with us on several occasions describing our options and asked many questions to determine our needs. She was patient, but touched base periodically to keep us on task. She made several recommendations and explained her reasoning thoroughly. She also provided insight into tax laws and displayed a strong knowledge of these and their ramifications. She responded promptly to follow-up questions and put together a comprehensive package for us. She provided clear and easy-to-follow instructions during the planning phase as well as during finalization of the documents and our responsibilites thereafter. I Greatly appreciate her desire to make sure my partner and I both understood our options and were 100 percent comfortable with our final decisions. Thanks to Chris, we now have protection in place for each other, our assets and our last days on earth. She provided great service at a reasonable cost and she has become part of our family through this process. Eric & Ryan
Chris provided my family with much-needed expertise and professionalism during the probate process after losing a loved one....I was so impressed with her work, I decided to have Chris help my mother with estate planning. Again, her efforts were thorough and professional but with just the right amount of humor in her approach to make my mom feel good about this difficult topic. She put both of our minds at ease knowing that final wishes will be clearly spelled out. Chris is truly one of a kind and I give her my very highest recommendation to anyone needing help with their estate planning.Donald H.
We went to Chris with questions about trust vs will and what was the best options for our needs. Chris listened and asked questions. She was attentive, engaged and made suggestions that were tailor made for us. In addition to her expertise with estate planning, I really appreciated her insights about being proactive in our affairs. She clearly explained everything with grace and humor. I have had occasion to work with attorneys before working with Chris, and I can say without hesitation she is one of the most knowledgeable in her field. She also has an excellent understanding of people and life situations that provides a depth and quality to her information. She is thorough and diligent in preparing documents. I would enthusiastically recommend Chris Tymchuck to my friends and family! Stephanie H.
Chris helped me work with the court and title company to sell my parents' home when I learned it was subject to a Medical Assistance lien...her assistance was well worth the fee...She was involved at every step of the process and kept on top of the court, county and title companies until the deal was done. Her participation had a calming effect in just knowing I had someone watching out for me even though I live in a different state. Chris W.
Chris provided my family with much-needed expertise and professionalism during the probate process after losing a loved one. Her insight and wisdom was invaluable in making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. Given that I was the personal representative for the estate, I knew that I could trust her to provide me with advice and support to successfully complete the probate requirements. Chris always responded quickly and thoughtfully to my questions throughout this experience.
Donald H.
After our daughter was born, my partner and I knew we needed to make legal arrangements to protect our family. Chris helped us figure out everything we needed to do, walked us through the decisions we needed to make, and did a great job explaining all of our now-indispensable documents. Thanks to Chris, we know our daughter will be taken care of if anything happens to us.
Jessica and Penny
If you are a same-sex couple that understands the importance of a carefully constructed estate plan, but have uncertainty about your legal rights or simply don't know where to begin, contact Chris Tymchuck. She lead us through the adoption process, and eliminated guesswork when creating legal documents that protect our family including wills, health care directives, and powers of attorney. Estate planning can be challenging, causing undue stress and anxiety. We have peace of mind with Chris as our trusted advisor, and recommend that you work with her to assure that you have confidence in your plan as well.

I recently met with a client to retitled a home so that an ex partner would no longer be on the deed. But, upon conducting a record's search, we learned that the client had never added the ex to the title. It was still titled solely in my client's name. This would have been great news except that my client had paid the ex a significant amount of money to "buy back" the title to the home. Post relationship issues aside this is a good example of how titling of your property is an important issue that must be addressed during the various stages of your life. It can be affected by a new relationship, break up, incapacity or death.
Titling of assets is an especially important issue for nontraditional famlies where the law will never assume that someone unrelated by blood or marriage is entitled to an interest in an asset. Further, if you are in a second marriage and have kids from a prior relationship, absent clear evidence (i.e. will or trust) of your intent, the Minnesota intestacy statute dictates how your assets wiill be distribued to your current spouse and prior children.
The way you title your assets is a crucial part of your estate plan. Below we will review the ways in which you may own property.
Coordinating Property Ownership and Your Estate Plan
When planning your estate, you must consider how you hold title to your real and personal property. The title and your designated beneficiaries will control how your real estate, bank accounts, retirement accounts, vehicles and investments are distributed upon your death, regardless of whether there is a will or trust in place and potentially with a result that you never intended.
One of the most important steps in establishing your estate plan is transferring title to your assets. If you have created a living trust, it is absolutely useless if you fail to transfer the title on your accounts, real estate or other property into the trust. Unless the assets are formally transferred into your living trust, they will not be governed by the terms of the trust and the purpose of the trust will fail. Any property not titled in the name of the trust, and that is not jointly held, will be subject to probate. If you have a proper will then then that property may still go to your chosen beneficiary through the probate process. But, if you do not have a will, or the will is outdated, that asset may not go to the person you would have chosen if someone had asked. Well - I am asking now. Who should get your stuff?
Even if you don't have a living trust, how you hold title to your property can still help your heirs avoid probate altogether. This ensures that your assets can be quickly transferred to the beneficiaries, and saves them the time and expense of a probate proceeding. Listed below are two of the most common ways to hold title to property; each has its advantages and drawbacks, depending on your personal situation.
Tenants in Common: When two or more individuals each own an undivided share of the property, it is known as a tenancy in common. Each co-tenant can transfer or sell his or her interest in the property without the consent of the co-tenants. In a tenancy in common, a deceased owner's interest in the property continues after death and is distributed to the decedent's heirs. Property titled in this manner is subject to probate, unless it is held in a living trust, but it enables you to leave your interest in the property to your own heirs rather than the property's co-owners. The drawback is that the co-tenant may now share ownership of the property with someone they don't know, or worse, don't like. This can lead to a host of issues that will be discussed in a later post specificlly addressing the issues of all types joint ownership of property.
Joint Tenants: In joint tenancy, two or more owners share a whole, undivided interest with right of survivorship. Upon the death of a joint tenant, the surviving joint tenant(s) immediately become the owners of the entire property. The decedent's interest in the property does not pass to his or her beneficiaries, regardless of any provisions in a living trust or will. A major advantage of joint tenancy is that a deceased joint tenant's interest in the property passes to the surviving joint tenants without the asset going through probate. But, Joint tenancy has its disadvantages such as susceptability to creditors or the inability of any one owner being able to sell his or her interest in the property.
Make sure your estate planning attorney has a list of all of your property and exactly how you hold title to each asset, as this will directly affect how your property is distributed after you pass on. One way to handle this is to give your estate planning attorney the autority to discuss your plans with your financial advisor and/or insurance agent. Automatic rules governing survivorship will control how property is distributed, regardless of what is stated in your will or living trust. So, take care to review how your property is titled today!

This is the first time I have written an article of this type, so I hope you like it. To give you a bit of a back ground to this true story, let me explain that I am 40 years old a marine engineer working for a ship design company working out of the south west of England. I travel with my job to contractors and private yacht builders in the Plymouth Exeter region. Recently my boss was taken ill and I was asked to present at a seminar in London, all the arrangements had been made all I had to do was turn up.
I set out on the Monday morning travelling first class from Bristol to London Kings Cross, my presentation was not until 1 o'clock on Tuesday, so it would give me lots of time to enjoy the 5 star hotel facilities, travel to the venue and get set up for the presentation. The journey was very relaxing with no incidents arriving just before midday, there was a taxi rank just outside the station I jumped in the first taxi available and gave the driver the hotel name during the journey we made small talk about the weather (it was very hot) and the local sites around my hotel.
The taxi arrived at the hotel just after 1 o'clock, I paid stepped out the taxi and was helped with my bags by the concierge the front of the hotel was grand with pillars either side of the entrance which was glass and automatically slide back on approach, I was directed to the reception by the concierge.
I passed though the second set of doors to find myself in a wide corridor with a glass door leading to a wine bar on the left hand side a bank of four lifts on the right just past the bar on the left was the reception, I was greeted by a friendly well dressed women of a similar age to myself, I was asked my reservation number, and if I required to make a reservation for dinner tonight, the dinner reservation was made for seven thirty, the receptionist indicated that the hotel was full of German bankers who had a state dinner in the main restaurant, she suggested that I make a reservation for the hotels newly opened lounge bar which was on the first floor.
The receptionist took a copy of my credit card for incidentals and passed me my room card telling the concierge the room number, I followed the concierge to the lifts and we went to the third floor and on to the room, the concierge left the room after I had tipped him. The room was a standard room with all the usual amenities, it was hot so the first thing was switch on the air conditioning, the cool breeze was just what I was looking for, unfortunately it was situated above the wall mounted television, after a few minutes it started to drip water onto the television.
I turned the air conditioning off and went back to the reception to complain, I was met by a young receptionist showing an ample amount of breast with a large name badge which indicated that her name was Mandy, I told her of the problem asking for a different room, Mandy smiled at me leaned forward to operate the terminal in front of me and showing even more of her cleavage indicated that the hotel was full, at this point the manager came out from behind a screen at the back of the reception, and asked if there was a problem. Mandy explained the problem to the manager who in turn pressed a few buttons on the computer terminal, apologising for the wait and asking if I would accept a meal voucher and he would get an engineer to look at the AC tomorrow.
I replied that as I was leaving tomorrow that was no good to me (all my meal cost are paid by my firm), after a discussion with Mandy the manager indicated that the there was only one room available the penthouse, he was willing on this one occasion to allow me to use it, would that be ok, my replied came before he had time to finish his sentence. The concierge was informed of the room change and I was on my way to the tenth floor.
After tipping the concierge I was left in the Penthouse suite, a bedroom with on suite facilities a living area looking over Canary Wharf with a Jacuzzi, a large television, a couch, a drinks cabinet and a coffee table with flowers and fruit, I thought to myself life couldn't get better. I opened a bottle of wine and sat looking over the docklands railway, watching the coming and going of the business man and women from the high rise tower buildings.
Around seven o'clock I showered and dressed for dinner, as I was not eating at the main restaurant I dressed casual, I set out for the restaurant on leaving the lift on the first floor I read the direction notice on the wall directly in front of the lift door, it indicated that the Gym, Sauna, hair dresser and therapy areas are to the right the members bar was to the left, I went left up two steps into the bar area I was met by a young man who asked my room number, and directed me to a table. There was only one other dinner in the bar a lady of about 30 years old waiting for her meal, she was dressed in a short skirt a white blouse showing her ample breasts which I estimated to be about a D Cup, she acknowledged me with a smile as I walked passed her. My table faced the side of the young lady I notice she had a bottle of Australian Merlot on her table with a glass poured in her hand, I requested the same wine, and ordered the Prawn cocktail, fillet steak with peppered sauce from the menu.
The waiter poured my first glass of Merlot and I sat watching the other dinner drinking her second glass of wine, the view I had was more than. Our meals arrived at the same time we also finished around the same time. I asked the waiter for the bill on signing it I left, just as I got to the lift my phone rang, it was my boss phoning me from his sick bed wishing me good look for the presentation tomorrow, just as the phone call finished the young lady from the restaurant was leaving I pressed the button for the lift and turn and went to ask her if she want me to hold the lift, only to see her tripping on the top step as she came down I instinctively put my arms out to catch her and got a handle full of her left breast, she went down on to her knees in front of me.
I helped her up and apologised for what had happened with my hand, asking her if she wanted a drink to steady her nerves after the fall, she gratefully accepted so we turned around and I helped her back up the stairs into the bar, I order two more glasses of Merlot, and sat down across the table from her.
She told me her name was Fiona and she was a Doctor on a training course at a local hospital, we seemed to be getting on well with each other, I had told her the scenario with the rooms and that I had ended up with the penthouse suite, she asked if she could see what it was like I replied I had an open bottle of wine in the room and why don't we continue our conversation in my room, expecting her to slap my face, but she was more than willing.
Fiona had twisted her ankle in the fall and needed help with walking, so being the total gentleman I put my arm around her waist resting my hand on her hip, her hand was on my shoulder for support, I helped her to the lift, I left my arm around her waist whilst the lift went up to the tenth floor, there was no objection from Fiona she continued telling me about her training course.
Fiona enjoyed the tour of the Penthouse suite I sat her down on the couch and poured two drinks and offered one to her. She took a sip from the wine and asked if I would mind rubbing he ankle to try and relive the pain, I agreed and told her to remove her shoes and tights, she just looked at me winked smiled and said when you had your arm around my waist you must of realised I am wearing stockings not tights, and proceeded to lift her leg and ask me to take off her shoe and stocking, she placed her foot in my lap just below my fast rising man member.
I started rubbing her ankle, after one or two light rubs I moved my hands up her leg to just below her knee I looked up into her face to see her eyes closed and a smile developing on her lips, I placed her foot back on the floor and proceeded to massage her upper leg until I reached the edge of her panties. There was no objection so I continued to remove her panties, Fiona helped by lifting her backside. I looked down at her nicely trimmed pussy, and inserting one figure a moan left her lips so I insert a second figure, her legs opened further to allow me access.
I lower my head and started to nibble her clit, the juices and the aroma coming from her women hood were getting stronger she was fidgeting on the couch so I continued finger fucking her and sucking and nibbling on her clit, after a couple of minutes I looked up to see Fiona's blouse open and her right hand inside her bra playing with her left tit, a little moan was escaping from her lips and her eyes were looking straight down into mine.
I asked her if my massage was relieving the pain in her foot, she shouted at me to carry on she was so close to Cumming, I renewed my attention to her clit and within a few minutes Fiona was lifting her backside off the couch and her hand was pushing the back of my head into her pussy, removing my figures from her love hole I replaced them with my tongue just in time to receive a squirt of her juices down the back of my throat, I continued to lick up and down her slit from her pussy opening to her clit until Fiona finally spoke saying that was just what this doctor ordered, I moved up her body and let her taste her own juices from my tongue, I felt her hands on my belt removing my trousers and releasing my cock from my boxers. She pushed me onto the floor and proceeded to give me a blowjob. Within a few minutes I could feel myself getting harder and nearer to the Promised Land, and suggested to Fiona we continued though in the bedroom.
After removing her lips from around my member she shouted YES YES please, I was now aware that she had been rubbing her crutch up and down my right leg while she was had been sucking my cock and she seem to be having another orgasm, I let her orgasm subside and lifted her into the bedroom laid her on the king size bed, removing her remaining clothes she just lay there just looking at my 8 inch cock with the biggest grin I have ever seen on her face.
I stripped laid on the bed and said now what were we doing, she moved on to her side, I started to kiss her neck down her body to her right nipple which was hard and raised from her breast she looked down and said the other one is getting jealous, why don't you fuck my tits and let me get a good look at that cock of yours.
I sat on her stomach she pushed her breast around my cock and I started fucking her tits, on the forward stroke she open her mouth but my cock was only just touching her lips so she used her tongue to lick the bell end, after five or six minutes I felt the spunk rising from my balls Fiona let go of her tits placed her hands on my ass and struck a finger up my ass, this was just too much for me I let go and a stream of cum hit Fiona right between the eyes she quickly put her mouth over my cock and received the second spurt of spunk into her mouth, she spent the next couple minutes cleaning my cock with her mouth, the first jet of cum was tricking down her nose she used her finger to guide it into her mouth, when she had finished she looked at me and said that was the starter what is for the main course.
Fiona walked though to the living area, I notice she was not limping from her fall now, after a couple of minutes of water running into the Jacuzzi, Fiona called for her lover to come and get the main course, I walked though to the living area the lights had been dimmed and she was lying in the Jacuzzi sipping wine the fruit bowl was sat on the rim the bubbles from the Jacuzzi pushing up between her legs, one of which was over the rim of the tube and the other open as far as she could get it, her eyes were closed and she was playing with pussy, I thought to myself what a fantastic sight, this sexy women lying in front of me playing with herself.
I stepped into the water Fiona opened her eyes looked up at me do you like what you see, how can I not like what you have I said, she replied so come over here give me what I want. I moved in close to her, Fiona started massaging my penis until I was hard again and placed her lips around the bell end massaging my shaft until I was fully hard sitting me down and manoeuvring me into a position so she could sit on my lap with my rod up inside her.
Fiona was using my dick to relieve her pleasures by bouncing up and down the water was splashing over the rim onto the guttering around the edge, the movement was causing me to slip down the tub, I managed to spread my legs and wedge myself between two seats. The closer Fiona got to her climax the more vigorous her movement became, and the harder I found it to stay afloat, she finally climaxed with a load scream, she rolled off me and slumped into the seating area on the opposite side me, saying sorry I just had to have your cock, give me a minute and we can go again.
The bubbles had automatically switch off after 30 minutes, so I just sat there masturbating looking at Fiona who had her eyes closed enjoying the moment, after a few minutes I moved over dropped to my knees position myself between her legs and started thrusting, her eyes opened and pressed her lips to mine and started to French kissing me, it was not long before I was nearing my own orgasm, one final thrust and my cock seemed to explode and a feeling to pure happiness came over me.
After our session you could see globes of our love juices floating about in the water, Fiona grabbed two towels passed on to me pulled the plug in the tub walked and into the bedroom area I followed and we showered together and went to bed.
I was woken the next morning by Fiona rushing around collecting her clothes saying I am going to be late by 9 o'clock she was gone only a memory of the best night of life remained. Until I noticed a business card on the bedside table which read 'thanks lover ring me at 12:30 on (mobile number)' , my heart jumped at the thought of seeing her again, I flipped the card over and read Ms F Dawson, Head of genetic research, Oxford University, the card give her office phone number and address.
I went down to breakfast in the bar on the first floor then on to the seminar, I excused myself at 12:30, went outside and rang the mobile number on the card Fiona answered on the second ring, greeting me with 'last night was so good when can we do it again' I answered anytime you want the reply that came was do you have to go back tonight I still have my room until tomorrow, see you in the bar at six o'clock I said, That is another story.
On returning to my office headquarters in Bristol on the Wednesday I was called into the director's office to be told that a number of letters of interest had been faxed to the office after my presentation and he was very pleased, how do I fancy a trip to Monte Carlo to make another presentation, I asked if I could take a friend he replied yes as long as it doesn't cost too much. Can you guess who I will ask?
I have enjoyed writing this account of my first night with Fiona; I am looking forward to telling you about the future nights, if you enjoyed reading about my night please e-mail

Should I stop reading? by Julia Jones

Blimey! I just came onto the site to rob the url link for IEBR (being too incompetent to know where I have it stored myself!) and found my work at the centre of a post. And what a post. Thanks so much for that Julia. It's nice to know that publishing 'advocacy' can work! And don't worry about happy endings. The 'life' of the real group behind NO Labels is still active and as my involvement was 10 years there are plenty more stories to tell. Next up will be No Labels doing WORKSHOPS rather than performances. But I'm heartened that this is going to prove a rich seam and an effective advocacy tool. There was a lot of hard work (my own academic and creative study to 'understand') but primarily my experience with the NON fictional group WAS FUN AND LAUGHTER ALL THE WAY. And you are right. Such projects should be ONGOING. We had to fight year on year and I've made No Labels less depressing than the REAL fight actually is - it takes a toll. But I do finally feel that it's all been worth it (not just for the participants) but as a piece of advocacy. I'd love people to BUY THE BOOK but as you point out, not because of the money but because I'd like them to meet and learn to love and respect MY FRIENDS as much as I have learned to. No Labels is my tribute to them and they have more than repaid me time and time again.

UPDATE - GSSX Index© Outperforms Other Indices
As indicated when I began this website last year, the "theory" behind the Gold Stock Strategist investment style is that emerging junior gold producers should outperform other gold-related investment styles because they are leveraged plays on the price of gold.
So far this year, the GSSX Index© is fulfilling the role of a leveraged play on gold with a 31.0% YTD return compared to the price of gold which has risen 9.9% YTD in 2009.
(click for larger chart)
The easiest--though probably not the best--way to test the GSS hypothesis is to compare the Year to Date (YTD) return of alternative precious metal or junior mining indexes.
Indexes Used for Comparison
Other indexes used to compare with the GSSX Index© include the XAU index, the HUI, index, the TSX Venture Exchange index, and the price of gold index represented by the ETF symbol GLD.
The XAU is an index comprised of 10 large cap precious metals mining companies traded on the Philadelphia exchange. Companies in the index include: Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), Anglogold Ashanti (AU), Barrick Gold (ABX), Freeport-McMoran Copper and Gold (FCX), Gold Fields(GF), Goldcorp (GG), Harmony Gold Mining (HMY), Kinross Gold (KGC), Newmont Mining (NEM), and Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS).
The HUI—AMEX Gold BUGS (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) index is comprised of 13 major gold mining companies including Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), Coeur D Alene Mines (CDE), Eldorado Gold (EGO), Gold Fields ((GFI), Goldcorp (GG), Golden Star Resources (GSS), Harmony Gold Mining (HMY), Hecla Mining (HL), Iamgold (IAG), Kinross Gold (KGC), Newmont Mining (NEM), and Randgold Resources (GOLD).
The TSX Venture Exchange index represents the 2,300 companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture Exchange is a public venture capital marketplace for emerging companies who have not yet met the requirements for listing on the TSX, which deals mostly with well established companies. The TSX Venture index is a much broader index than the others and includes companies other than gold miners such as junior natural gas explorers and other companies—primarily in the natural resource sector.
Finally, GLD is an ETF that tracks the price of gold.
Composition of the GSSX Index©
The composition of the GSSX is subjective as are all indices. Nevertheless, the GSSX is a fair representation of the universe of emerging junior gold producers. The 20 stocks included in the index represent about 40% of all emerging junior gold producers and about 1.3 million projected ounces of gold produced in 2009. Each company represents 1/20 of the total index. It is not weighted by market capitalization. The top performers so far this year in the GSSEPX index are La Mancha, Castle Gold, Gold Resource, Richmont, and New Gold.
Here is a list of the companies included in the GSSX Index© , followed by a chart with their relative performance YTD.
Alamos Gold (TSX:AGI; OTC:AGIGF)
Alexis Minerals Corp. (TSX:AMC; OTC:AXSMF)
ATW Ventures (TSX:ATW: OTC:ATWVF)
Aurizon Mines Ltd. (TSX:ARZ; AMEX:AZK)
Castle Gold (TSX:CSG; OTC:CSGLF)
Capital Gold Corp. (TSX:CGC; OTC:CGLD)
Gold Resource Corp. ((OTC: GORO)
Gold-Ore Resources (TSX:GOZ; OTC:GREXF)
Jaguar Mining (TSX:JAG; NYSE:JAG)
Jinshan Gold Mines (TSX:JIN; OTC:JINFF)
La Mancha Resources (TSX:LMA; OTC:LACHF)
Metanor Resources (TSX:MTO; OTC:MEAOF)
Minefinders (TSX:MFL; AMEX:MFN)
MDN Inc. (TSX:MDN; OTC:MDNNF)
New Gold Inc. (TSX:NGD; AMEX:NGD)
New Guinea Gold (TSX: NGG: OTC:NGUGF)
Richmont Mining (TSX:RIC; AMEX:RIC)
San Gold Corp. (TSX:SGR; OTC:SGRCF)
Timmins Gold (TSX:TMM; OTC:TMGOF)
W. Goldfields (TSX:WGI; AMEX:WGW)
© (New Gold, Richmont, Castle Gold, La Mancha, and New Guinea Gold).
Two others have dropped out for various reasons including Kinbauri and Apollo Gold.
This update has been a long time coming. Hopefully, the emerging junior gold producers will be able to weather this years financial storms better than last year.

EXCELLENT Work here! You are a gold bug after my own heart!
I have been thinking about putting together an index that better represents the juniors, but now I have found yours - GREAT!
Now I just have to figure out how to get it into chart form. I may be able to create a custom study with the trading software. It would be wonderful if you (we?) could convince Stockcharts to create the Index as a chart on their system. Right now I use a comparison better the HUI and the GDX as an indication of movement in the juniors relative to the majors. But as I am sure you have noticed those "standard" indecies are dominated by several (3-4) stocks that make up 60+% of the total. I suppose from a statistical stand point that makes sense?
I am interested that your index gives equal weight to each stock. I guess one could add a weighting based on market cap, share price or average shares traded?
Also find your work on the cash flow multiples to be of use and interest! Thanks for all of the good work!

(From left to right) The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, Dr. Roberta Bondar, MP Terry Sheehan, and MP Rob Oliphant. MP Terry Sheehan presenting a signed letter from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulating Dr. Bondar on the 25th anniversary of her historic Space flight.
(Sault Ste. Marie, ON) Friday, January 20, 2017 – Member of Parliament, Terry Sheehan, would like to remind area residents to take a minute and look up to the sky during the upcoming proclaimed "Dr. Roberta Bondar Days" from January 22- 30, 2017. These days serve to honour the ground-breaking accomplishments of Sault native, Dr. Roberta Bondar, as the year 2017 marks the 25th anniversary of Dr. Bondar's historic Space flight and also marks the 150th anniversary of Canada.
"Dr. Bondar is an inspiration to all Canadians, from coast to coast to coast" said MP Sheehan. "She was Canada's first woman in space and continues to be a role model for young girls and boys to reach for the stars."
Throughout Dr. Bondar's ground-breaking career as a medical doctor, scientist, author and photographer and Canada's first woman in space, she has received a number of Canada's highest awards, including recognition from the Order of Canada and The Royal Canadian Mint.
The unveiling of "A view of Canada from Space" silver coin, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Dr. Bondar's Space Shuttle Mission, recently took place in the Riding of Sault Ste. Marie. The Royal Canadian Mint issued a unique "glow in the dark" commemorative coin and a limited quantity will be manufactured in 2017 to permanently honour Dr. Bondar's achievements and ongoing dedication to science.

Two major muscles, called the gastrocnemius and the soleus, run down the back of the lower leg. The soleus is a long, wide muscle that sits below the smaller, more bulbous gastrocnemius. These two primary muscles, along with several smaller, secondary muscles, form your calves. Since your calf muscle contracts to extend your feet and toes, strong calf muscles are important in a variety of sports. Exercise your calves one to two times a week to keep them defined and muscular.
Calf Presses
Find a step 4 inches off the ground. Stand with the back half of your foot hanging off the step. Lower your heels 2 inches. Press up so that you are standing on the balls of your feet. Repeat 15 to 20 times to complete one set. Do two sets to complete the exercise. Personal trainer James "Flex" Lewis recommends pointing toes in to isolate the inner calf and pointing toes out to isolate the outer calf.
Lunge Pulses
Stand with your feet together, arms by your sides. Step forward into a lunge with your right foot. Bend your right leg 90 degrees at the knee and extend your left leg behind you, knee bent. From this position, pulse up so that your left leg is straight. Bend to complete one pulse. Pulse up and down 15 times on each side. This develops your soleus muscle, which, according to personal trainer Lee Hayward, can only fully contract when your leg is bent to at least a 30-degree angle.
Mountain Climbers
Start in pushup position. Bend your right knee and bring your right foot between your hands, foot planted firmly on the floor. Keep your hands in push-up position and jump to switch your legs, straightening your right leg out behind you and bringing your left leg up between your knees. Repeat as fast as you can for one minute. Mountain climbers are an all-over leg strengthener, and the explosive jumping movement strengthens your calves.
Jump Rope
Jumping rope builds muscle while providing a cardiovascular workout. According to Muscle and Fitness magazine, the main muscle you work in a jump rope routine is your calf, but the exercise conditions most major muscle groups. Start by jumping rope with both feet for one minute. Work your way up to three minutes. Mix up your jump rope workout by trying crossovers and double passes.
Elongate your calves and protect against injury with regular stretching. Runner's World reminds readers "elastic, flexible calf muscles can soften the shock on feet and ankles" when running. Also, since stretching keeps your muscle fibers elastic, it allows strength training moves to have maximum effect. Find a towel or flexibility band, sit on the ground with your legs out in front of you, loop the band over your flexed feet and pull back.

Liberals unwilling to prop up HarperYesterday I read this letter to the editor in the Globe And Mail, from an astute man in Vancouver:
Graham says onus now on Bloc and NDP to support Conservative minority
Opposition Leader Bill Graham said he will not be afraid to defeat Prime Minister Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government, even though the Liberal Party will spend much of the year in a leadership race.
Mr. Harper must either accommodate Liberal positions on key issues such as child care and income-tax cuts or turn to the New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois for support in the House of Commons, Mr. Graham said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.
He placed the onus for avoiding a quick election on the New Democrats and the Bloc, saying they triggered the last election out of political opportunism.
"We're not in the business of propping up the government," he said. "We're the Official Opposition. And that is our role, and we will stick to our points where they are important to the future of the country.
"Other parties will have to decide whether they want to compromise on this, because they're the ones — the Canadian public very well knows — that put us in this position. They're the ones that created the Harper government. They're the ones that are going to have to accommodate it."
My take on Canadian politics is that, every decade or so, Canadians forget how much they dislike the Conservative Party and what it stands for and give it a chance to govern. Given the appalling, but not surprising, arrogance of Stephen Harper since the election, I suspect Canadians' memories will be well refreshed by the time his minority government falls in the next year or two. - Henry SpornSounds good to me.
