High Range drink driving, High Range DUI & PCA is a drink driving charge that is issued on a person when they deliver a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.150 and above. A High Range PCA offence is considered very serious since any Blood Alcohol reading over the High Range threshold is considered to have certain effects on the way the human body can function and in particular operate a motor vehicle. Heavy fines and penalties are reserved for High Range PCA offenders and certainly a term of imprisonment is a very likely outcome for serious offenders.
A person is deemed to have committed the offence of High Range PCA if their Blood Alcohol Concentration is 0.150 or above.
Penalties for High Range Drink Driving
If you plead Guilty to a High Range drink driving offence or if you plead Not Guilty and lose then unless you can obtain a section 10 dismissal you will be convicted by the court and have your licence disqualified.
The Court has discretion whether or not to record a conviction against for your drink driving offence. In making its decision the Court will take into account a number of factors including your traffic history, traffic education, occupation, character, age, family and living situation plus many other objective and subjective issues. After taking into consideration these issues the court MAY decide to provide you with a one off reprieve and not issue you with a conviction.
Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act allows a court that finds a person guilty of High Range PCA the discretion not to impose a conviction against them. This being said, in order for a court to use such discretion to dismiss a High Range PCA charge pursuant to a section 10 dismissal is extremely rare and circumstances must be so extreme for a Court to exercise its discretion for such a charge.
If you receive a conviction by the Court for High Range PCA then it is mandatory for the Court to disqualify you from driving for a certain period of time. Legislation sets out a minimum period of disqualification should you be found guilty and receive a conviction.In saying this the legislation also sets out a maximum penalty or sentence that it can hand down, however this is usually reserved for repeat offenders or offences involving extreme aggravating circumstances.
In addition to the minimum and maximum penalties there is an automatic period of disqualification which a person can expect to receive unless they have very strong and convincing reasons why the court should not view the matter as a typical High Range PCA offence. The following penalties and disqualification periods apply for for an offence of High Range PCA:
High Range Drink Driving – 1st major traffic offence:
- Maximum fine – $3,300.00
- Maximum jail term – 18 months
- Unlimited maximum disqualification period
- Minimum disqualification period – 12 months
- Automatic disqualification period – 3 years
High Range Drink Driving –2nd or subsequent major offence within 5 years:
- Maximum fine – $5,500.00
- Maximum gaol term – 2 years
- Unlimited maximum disqualification period
- Minimum disqualification period – 2 years
- Automatic disqualification period – 5 years
There is much talk about what is known as the "GUIDELINE JUDGEMENT".
Let us explain.
On 8 September 2004, the Court of Criminal Appeal handed down a guideline judgment in relation to the offence of High Range PCA (Re: Application by Attorney-General (No. 3 of 2002) (2004) 61 NSWLR 305).
In this guideline judgment the court established what a model or ordinary High Range PCA case would involve. The purpose of this was to provide a meaningful and structured guidance to the way in which judges handed down penalties in the sentencing process for High Range PCA. The lead judgment was handed down by Howie J, there is no substitute for reading the whole judgment however a summarised version of the guideline is as follows:
Ordinary case of high range PCA / DUI
(1) An ordinary case of an offence of high range PCA is one where:
- the offender drove to avoid personal inconvenience or because the offender did not believe that he or she was sufficiently affected by alcohol;
- the offender was detected by a random breath test;
- the offender has prior good character;
- the offender has nil, or a minor, traffic record;
- the offender's licence was suspended on detection;
- the offender pleaded guilty;
- there is little or no risk of re-offending;
- the offender would be significantly inconvenienced by the loss of licence.
(2) In an ordinary case of an offence of high range PCA:
- an order under s 10 of the Sentencing Act will rarely be appropriate;
- a conviction cannot be avoided only because the offender has attended, or will attend, a driver education or awareness course;
- the automatic disqualification period will be appropriate unless there is a good reason to reduce the period of disqualification:
- a good reason may include:
(a) the nature of the offender's employment;
(b) the absence of any viable alternative transport;
(c) sickness or infirmity of the offender or another person.
(3) In an ordinary case of a second or subsequent high range PCA offence:
- an order under s 9 of the Sentencing Act will rarely be appropriate;
- an order under s 10 of the Sentencing Act would very rarely be appropriate;
- where the prior offence was a high range PCA, any sentence of less severity than a community service order would generally be inappropriate.
(4) The moral culpability of a high range PCA offender is increased by:
- the degree of intoxication above 0.15;
- erratic or aggressive driving;
- a collision between the vehicle and any other object;
- competitive driving or showing off;
- the length of the journey at which others are exposed to risk;
- the number of persons actually put at risk by the driving.
(5) In a case where the moral culpability of a high range PCA offender is increased:
- an order under 9 or s10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act would very rarely be appropriate;
- where a number of factors of aggravation are present to a significant degree, a sentence of any less severity than imprisonment of some kind, including a suspended sentence, would generally be inappropriate.
(6) In a case where the moral culpability of the offender of a second or subsequent high range PCA offence is increased:
- a sentence of any less severity than imprisonment of some kind would generally be inappropriate;
- where any number of aggravating factors are present to a significant degree or where the prior offence is a high range PCA offence, a sentence of less severity than full-time imprisonment would generally be inappropriate
High Range DUI / PCA – 2 Hour Breath Analysis Rule:
It will be up to the police to show and if need be prove in Court that you registered a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading of 0.150 or higher at the time you were operating a motor vehicle.
Police procedures involve creating a Breath Analysis Certificate which is generated by the Police breath analysis instrument. Police are obligated to provide you with a copy of this Breath Analysis Certificate.
One possible defence that may arise out of this situation relates to the time period in which Police conduct the breath analysis. Police are obligated by law to conduct the breath analysis or blood sample within 2 hours after the event or time in which a person was operating a motor vehicle.
Any evidence produced before the Court which fails to follow these police procedural obligations MAY be found to be inadmissable, subsequently the charge may be dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge.
High Range DUI / PCA – You were not the driver of the motor vehicle:
It is important that when a person is charged with High Range PCA the Police have a procedural and legal obligation to prove that the person being charged was in fact the person operating the motor vehicle on a public or road related area. Just because Police may see a person operating a motor vehicle not on a public (or relevant) road does not give the Police the right to assume that they had been driving in such an area.
Thus, it is up to Police to prove that the person being charged was driving the vehicle was actually occupying the driving seat of the motor vehicle and was operating or attempted to put the vehicle in motion.
Police must also prove that the person being charged was doing so on a operating or attempting to operate a motor vehicle on a public road or road related area.
If Police cannot prove these elements of the charge then this MAY be cause for having the charge dismissed.
High Range DUI / PCA – Breath test taken at your home
Police are not allowed to perform breath analysis tests on you once you have entered your usual place of residence. Such a procedure is unlawful and any breath analysis tests performs may be inadmissable before a Court of law which would make it more difficult for Police to prove their case.
Usually if a person is at their place of residence and police can prove that they were operating a motor vehicle then they will do, and are allowed to, perform alternate tests including general observations such as:
- alcohol on breath
- glassy eyes
- slurred speech
If Police witness you driving erratically or find alcohol in your vehicle then these observations can also be included as evidence against you.
However, for the purpose of running a defense it is possible to have evidence dismissed should the Police not act lawfully in relation to obtaining a breath or blood sample.

Persuasive power of really cool really easy: When salespeople deal with clients or potential clients it helps to keep in mind being on the other side of the table.
When was the last time that you wanted a difficult process or have to work through a hassle. Now this all sounds simple and may not sound like a persuasive sales tip or some earth shattering advice but it may just be for some people.
Now one of the best things that you can do is to record your sales process in video and do two things:
- · Listen to your presentation and take notes as to what you think went well and what needs help
- · Watch your presentation and look for items that may be out of order without the sound on.
Yes it may take some time to first listen to your presentation and then watch it without sound but what you will see and hear may change your mind about the way that you work on influencing others.
There is a saying that "persuasion happens in the silence" and that is only true when you set of the silence correctly.
The idea of really cool really easy
To explain the idea of really cool really easy you first will have to take a look at a half truth when it comes to sales training. You may have heard the saying "whoever has the highest energy in a meeting wins" but it isn't over the top energy
When you put enough excitement in your presentation that is not over the top you have an easier chance of the people listening to you.. This persuasive power doesn't happen with a canned script it happens with you being real and your realness does shine through but that is only the first part of the equation.
The second part of the equation is really easy. Making the sales process throughout from start to finish really cool really easy takes away some of the resistance. The key here is that not all of the resistance is taken away but some of it may just as well be enough to give you a better chance vs someone who is a competitor. When you can make your process seem like time has stopped and not what the potential clients are expecting it throws the buyer off guard enough for them to relax.
Before anyone buys anything they have a preconceived belief about how the experience is going to be. The potential client comes to the table believing one thing and every other wanna be persuader lets the potential client to live up to that expectation.
Just think for a second about how you would want your experience to be and make it like that for your buyer.
Really cool really easy is something that most salespeople forget because they are all caught up in trying to be perfect but that doesn't allow the salesperson to be real and then the comfort goes away.
What if you are a persuader who isn't in sales
You still have to opportunity to help the people that you meet and make the process for them really cool and really easy. You will see that people will react better and will be more willing to do what you ask instead of the resistance block being there in place.
Learn how to persuade others better and more effectively
As always I would like to thank you in advance for your comments and or questions about persuasion and making your process really cool and really easy.
Scott Sylvan Bell
Now go implement!

Praise for the Soviets.
"In repentance lies our hope. . . . Were we Americans to repent of the self-righteousness . . . we would realize that if we are not yet one with the Soviets in love, at least we are one with them in sin. . . . Were we to repent of our selfrighteousness, the existence of Soviet missiles would remind us of nothing so much as our own. Soviet threats to rebellious Poles would call to mind American threats to the Sandinistas. Afghanistan would suggest Vietnam. Soviet repression of civil liberties at home would remind us of our own complicity in the repression of these same civil rights abroad. . . . Jesus would never be 'soft on communism' anymore than He would be soft on capitalism."

HI LOVES!! Sorry I've been MIA on here lately, it's been really hectic but everything has quieted down now and I can finally get back to sharing my passion with all of you!! So! Let's talk about a sheet mask that has wedged its way into my weekly pamper session!!
Sheet masks are a quick and easy way to give your skin a nice pick-me up! As part of my weekly "me time" I LOVE using a sheet mask to give my skin a little extra love. So what exactly are sheet masks!?! Well, they're fiber or cotton sheets saturated in "essence" LOL WHAT!? In other words, they are sheets with serums that are full of skin loving ingredients to really pamper your skin and deliver instantaneous results.
What I like about sheet masks is that they don't require you to rinse your face after using them, making them super convenient when traveling or when you're just feeling BLAH and need a quick refresher! You can definitely find a sheet mask to suit your needs, as they range from hydrating, brightening, mattifying, firming, pore minimizing, and even blemish control. I've become a fan of hydrating sheet masks in particular. My skin has been super dehydrated lately and in need of some "TLC".
I decided to give Tony Moly's Aloe Moisturizing Mask a try. This mask is "formulated with aloe to deeply hydrate and transform dull, dry skin into a healthier-looking complexion in as little as 20 minutes." So how does it work!? Simply remove the saturated mask from the packaging and place it over a clean face for 20-30 minutes. Once your time is up, just remove the mask and massage the remaining serum into your skin. THAT'S IT! Easy right?!
SOOO…Does it live up to its claims??
HOLY HYDRATION!! Yes!! After I removed the mask, I immediately noticed how plump and hydrated my skin became! My complexion looked completely rejuvenated like being on a month long vacation LOL. I even woke up the next morning to soft, supple skin!
Some things to note, I did experience a cooling sensation as the mask was on, to be honest it felt pretty good LOL. I also haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts since introducing this to my skincare routine. The only con I have is that the results of this mask are temporary (like all sheet masks) only lasting about a day.
So if your skin is in need of some instantaneous hydration or you just want to have a little spa session at home, Tony Moly's Aloe Moisturizing Mask is definitely worth giving a try!
Pamper yourself loves, you deserve it!!

Available at Sephora – $7.50 (2pack)

15 Sleek Closed Loop Aquaponics – Beautify your Closed Loop Aquaponics
15 Sleek Closed Loop Aquaponics – Beautify your Closed Loop Aquaponics
For a long time now organic garden enthusiasts have actually been gathering details bordering aquaponic needs. What started out as a pipe dream is instantly turning up in a great deal of 'eco-friendly' houses as well as is continuously capturing up with it's close connection hydroponics.
A natural garden will really require 90% more water compared to an aquaponic garden to thrive effectively. Aquaponics systems are likewise a whole lot less complicated compared to keeping (or caring for) an organic yard since fish do many of the benefit you.
What is aquaponics and also just what aquaponic requirements are needed to prosper? Well to start with, money is not really a vital aquaponic demand. I state this due to the fact that you do not should shell out a great deal of cash for a home aquaponics system.
Space is constantly going to be an aspect when it pertains to aquaponics so make certain you have sufficient of it. I'm not claiming you require a garden loaded with it yet you do require enough for the system to function correctly. One of the most obvious of all aquaponic requirements is a basic fish container – without this you are practically packed!
Pick carefully when it involves aquarium as the storage tank will straight establish the amount of fish that are mosting likely to live in your aquaponics system. The aquarium will likewise impact another of your aquaponic needs – the pump. The power of the pump is going to be directly linked to the size of your aquaponics fish storage tank.
An additional of the main house aquaponic requirements is a pH kit. You can not simply fill up the fish container with water and also hope for the most effective – you have to take into consideration the plants growing in the water. You have to consistently inspect the pH of the water in your system.
In the last paragraph I mentioned the plants that will be dangling/growing in the water. The main aquaponic needs for these plants is assistance – you can not just discard them in the water and hope they will certainly drift. Plants are not supported by dirt in an aquaponics system, rather they are supported by clay or gravel.
An one-of-a-kind aquaponic requirement is the actual tubing utilized for the flow of water. The tubing will vary for every different 'kind' of aquaponic system so make certain you obtain recommendations on which tube to purchase. Any type of regional or on the internet aquaponics store will certainly more than happy to assist you with suggestions on tubes.
All these aquaponic needs will cost you loan however will certainly not cost a fortune. All the best with your aquaponics job.
Exactly what is aquaponics and what aquaponic demands are required to prosper? The most apparent of all aquaponic needs is a fundamental fish container – without this you are very much stuffed!
The fish container will likewise impact another of your aquaponic requirements – the pump. The major aquaponic demands for these plants is support – you can not simply discard them in the water and also hope they will float.


text: At our center we haven't seen an account rep in months. There used to be account reps at the PCM on tuesdays to push sales leads and be there if any drivers needed to talk to them about p/u accounts. Our last 3 or so have disappeared, quit, fired, or whatever. I am seeing the Fedex account reps actively going after our accounts with nothing or no one to counter them from our end. Pick up volume is being lost to Fedex and their active sales teams. Can this be a result of center manager,s and on-roads total fixation with SPORH?

Mumbai, Nov. 21: Great Eastern Shipping Company (Gesco) today decided to pull out from the disinvestment process of Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), disillusioned with the continued uncertainty surrounding the sale of the latter.
G E Shipping, however, indicated that it was pulling out only for the time being, adding that it would re-examine the issue as and when financial bids for SCI are invited, depending on the evaluation of specific transactional matters, business environment at that time and SCIs performance in the interim.
Making no bones about his disappointment over the delay in SCIs disinvestment, a GE Shipping official told The Telegraph that since the company was missing out on business opportunities and would instead use its huge cash flows to pursue interests in both offshore and shipping. As of March 31 2002, GE Shipping had a total cash flow of over Rs 380 crore.
The withdrawal of GE Shipping leaves only two players in the frayEssar Shipping and Sterlite Industries.
Initially, when the government had indicated its decision to disinvest its stake in SCI, close to 12 players had submitted expressions of interest (EoIs) to pick up the governments 51 per cent in SCI.
These included Mitsui O S K Lines, CMA-CGM, OOCCL, Abal Loyd, Videocon International, BPL, Sterlite Industries, Essar Shipping, G E Shipping, Malaysia International Shipping Corporation Bhd and a joint bid by Iffco-Kribhco.
In a communication issued to the bourses today, GE Shipping said that having pursued SCIs sale process for well over nine months now, at this point of time, the company has decided not to pursue the acquisition of SCI for the time being. GE Shipping would, however, review its plans if business conditions were conducive when the government finally invites financial bids, the statement added.
The companys announcement saw the SCI scrip collapse by close to 13 per cent on the exchanges today. The scrip finished at Rs 52.80, a massive loss of Rs 6.80 over its previous finish.
On November 15, Union minister of shipping Ved Prakash Goyal had said no timetable has been fixed for the disinvestment of SCI and that the government, which holds around 80 per cent equity in the company, will sell its stake at the right time for the right price. Pointing out that the SCI scrip had plummeted from Rs 111 to Rs 58, he said it was better to wait for the right price.

CHARLOTTE,N.C. -- A customer was forced to lay on the floor when a gunman robbed a popular local gas station in newly released surveillance video. Now police are stepping up the search for an armed and dangerous criminal.
Anyone could get caught in the middle of an armed robbery, but after talking to police, how a person reacts in those frantic seconds could mean life or death.
Surveillance video from a robbery at the QT in Rock Hill was released as police continue to search for the suspect.
The video shows an armed robber reach for the cash register. The gunman forced a customer to the ground.
After seeing that alarming footage, NBC Charlotte wanted to know how to survive a stick up. We shared the video with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and they showed us step-by-step how to handle the dangerous situation.
"They're probably going to tell you put your hands up this is a robbery," said Johnathan Frisk, a CMPD crime prevention specialist.
"What's the first thing I should do if somebody comes out has a gun?" NBC Charlotte's Xavier Walton asked.
"Well you know naturally you want to show them, 'Hey, I'm complying with you,'" said Frisk. "You want to show them your hands that you're not reaching down in your pocket, you're not doing anything out of the ordinary."
"A lot of times these days when something happens people take their cell phones out. Do you recommend that?" asked Walton.
"No. We don't want someone to try and be a hero and go off and try and tackle somebody or anything crazy like that," said Frisk. "It's just not worth it."

NorthJersey.com reports this week on the progress of the various tribes of wild Quaker Parrots in New Jersey to move westward. According to the report, by Jim Wright, the parrots are now actively nesting "in Fort Lee, Fairview, Cliffside Park, Englewood, Ridgefield, Leonia and, most recently, Secaucus." All of these areas are situated to the south/southwest of the parrots' traditional stomping grounds of Edgewater, where hundreds of Quaker Parrots have resided for many years.
The article does not make reference to the causes which originally brought the parrots to New Jersey, which remain obscure and perhaps unknowable, even to those who, like this reporter, claim to know their story. Multiple anecdotal reports attributing the parrots' arrival to bankrupt pet stores, sinking barges, breached containers at the old SeaLand terminal in Weehawken, or mass avian migrations across the Hudson River have never been substantiated. However it is known that the parrots have been active in the Garden State since the early 1970s; in fact these original tribes were the targets of the famous (some would say infamous) 1973 multi-agency eradication campaign which nearly resulted in this species' elimination in the Northeast.
Scott Barnes, a spokesman for New Jersey Audubon, notes in the article that while the birds are "a non-native introdued species that can be problematic to electric transmission, one has to admire the birds' tenacity for hanging on in several locations in New Jersey for decades." This sympathetic statement is a major departure from prior statements form NJ Audubon, whose chief once remarked that "the only solution to these birds is to send them back to Argentina."
Allison Evans-Fragale — a great friend to the NJ parrots with whom this reporter has worked — is mentioned in this story, as is Karen Johnson, a spokesman for PSE&G, the local utility charged with maintenance of the power lines upon which the wild parrots often build nests. PSE&G, in its encounters with the parrots, has consistently demonstrated sensitivity both to the parrots and community members in New Jersey who, over the years, have grown to like them.

I'm like super innocent ha ha because my mom was always strict about boys, I didn't really start talking on the phone to guys until the end of eighth grade and now that I'm 16, my mom says I can date but I'm just so lost on how to do so lol so I really haven't had my first kiss yet because I never had the chance to be around a guy like that. Its not that much of a big deal to me, but its just the point that I hope I don't kiss bad when it does happen ha ha so can anybody give me tips on how to kiss naturally so it won't be so awkward and weird? Thanks :)
Most Helpful Guy
Don't worry about it! honestly its a hell of a lot easier then you think and it wouldn't take long to get used to it. To most guys it wouldn't be a big deal, its kinda cute but when you do eventually decide to kiss try to just be in sync, its hard to really get specific but it depends on how the other person likes to kiss too!00|00|0
thanks! :)
Lol you're welcome :)

Do you suffer from happy ear syndrome?
Many of the students in my weekly sales training program know that my favourite Sandler rule is Rule #3 – No Mutual Mystification. For those of you unfamiliar with the David Sandler's 49 Rules, let me explain. Think back to a time when you came from a sales meeting (or any meeting, conversation or interaction with another human being) where you felt totally jazzed and pumped about the opportunity. Then after the euphoria wore off, you're left with the unanswered question: What happens now?
And if you're feeling this way, chances are, your prospect is feeling the same way. We're all familiar with those business phrases which sound impressive, but don't really tell you a lot or provide much clarity. When someone says to you "Great, let's move things forward" or "Let's take the next step." What does that mean to you? Does it mean they are ready to sign an agreement and hand over their money? Or does it mean they are willing to commit to another meeting … at some point in time. Or is it somewhere in between?
Author Julian Barnes accurately penned "Mystification is simple; clarity is the hardest thing of all." Mystification is readily accepting an answer or phrase without truly understanding what it means. So how do we avoid the mystification and arrive at a clear understanding with our prospect?
We ask questions; a lot of questions. And we tell our prospect what our next steps are. Let me give you an example of what this may sound like:
Prospect: That sounds great, Lisa. Let's move things forward.
Lisa: George, I'm happy to hear that. May I ask you a question? When people say move things forward, they typically mean that they are ready to sign the agreement, pay the deposit and choose a start date for the project. Is that what you're telling me you're ready to do?
Prospect: Woah, no! I'm not ready to do that.
Lisa: Thanks for the clarification, George. Can you help me understand what you see as the next step, when you say you want to move things forward?
Prospect: I need to bring two other people into the discussion and get their feedback. I'll be talking to them shortly.
Lisa: Ah, so there are other people involved in the decision process. Can we set up a meeting between the four of us, so I can answer any questions that your colleagues may have? How does next Thursday at 10 am sound? I can send a calendar invite to the participants so everyone has it in their calendar.
Prospect: Yeah, that should work.
I shudder to think of how much time (and money) I might have wasted writing up an agreement, creating an invoice and ordering materials, had I not clarified the prospect's response.
From the prospect's viewpoint, how might I be perceived when I send him an agreement, and deposit invoice prior to a final decision being reached? Would I be viewed as pushy, and possibly lose his trust? Quite possibly.
No mutual mystification means both parties know and understand what is going to happen next, even if it's a decision not to buy and to end the relationship.
It's easy for us to interpret messages and communications in ways that make us feel good and give us hope. I call that having "happy ears"— hearing what we want to hear, instead of what the prospect is actually saying. Eliminating mutual mystification builds trust and ensures that both parties have a clear of understanding what what's going to happen next. BL

Remember PayPal, one of the earliest, if not the first peer-to-peer payment service? Well, if you have forgotten that you had an account, now is the time to wipe off the digital dust and take full advantage of its many features. In addition to being able to send friends and family money, when you use it as a payment source for online shopping, you are eligible for the "Return Shipping on Us" program – a free benefit. I had totally forgotten about this until they sent a reminder this morning about it – and with even more benefits than before, supposedly.
Let's walk through what this PayPal program can offer
First of all, the program is free, which is always awesome. Here's how it works, when you buy something online and pay with PayPal, you are eligible for a reimbursement (up to $30, 12 times a year) for any shipping costs that you might incur if you have to return an item. There are other eligibility requirements, of course, but basically, if you buy something, return it, and are charged a return shipping fee (either directly or as a reduction in refund), PayPal will reimburse it. Not bad! The caveat is that you have to show that you were charged a return shipping fee by filing a claim. So, this might be a bit of a turn off to some.
I had the chance to try this out today. Right before Christmas, I bought a jacket from L.L. Bean, which will charge you $6.50 for returned items. Since I used PayPal to buy the jacket, there was a link on the transaction record to file a claim for a shipping charge refund. Following all of the instructions, which are basically two steps – proving that you bought and returned the item via screen shots, I submitted my claim. As soon as I filed it, I received a note from a processor – Telus International Europe – acknowledging the claim receipt. Within about five business days, I should have a response if it went through.
We will see what happens. I am really excited about this feature as it will naturally encourage me to use my PayPal account at online checkout. Since my credit card is linked, I will still be afforded all of the points and other protections that my card provides. The bonus benefit is that I will not incur any return shipping charges.
Other PayPal benefits
In addition to the great benefit I just mentioned, for a while, PayPal has been offering deals for a variety of online retailers. Some of the offers are enabled via coupon codes that will appear at checkout and others you have to manually add yourself when you go to pay. Recently, offers included $5 off $50 at Target and 20% off FTD. I will take it.
Bottom line – using PayPal is definitely worth another look. Its ease of use in paying back friends and family, and other shopping benefits, make it worth bookmarking in your browser.

A friend and I went to the Peach Garden restaurant located in the "Chinatown" complex in Mississaug on Dundas st. , west of Dixie.
We ordered fresh spring rolls, a hot & sour seafood soup and an assorted meat and seafood soup.
We got 2 plump fresh spring rolls filled with shrimp and pork. The accompanying peanut sauce was terrific. Our soups came and we were blown away. The hot and sour soup was salty, sour and hot with lots of rice noodles. The assorted meat and seafood soup had a great beef broth and two types of noodles. Tea as usual was free.
We paid approx. $34 for the whole meal with 2 Tsing Tao beers.
I will recommend this place for its soup especially if you are feeling blue because of the weather or have a cold/flu. There is also an enclosed smoking section inside the restaurant.

How to Wean from Breastfeeding
I recently weaned Ellie last month and I had quite a few of you asking how I did it. To be honest, I gradually weaned with Olivia and it all came very natural since she basically weaned herself. Ellie was a bit different and I had to wean her myself, so I took what I learned with Olivia and just replicated the transition. I like to wean VERY gradually, over weeks so that it's a smooth transition for the baby and me. Basically I gave myself 5 weeks to wean Ellie because we were at 5 nursing sessions a day. So however many nursing sessions you are currently at, multiple by 1 and that is the number of weeks you may want to take to wean and what I just did with Ellie.
As I started to transition Ellie, she would get a bottle every evening and of course, whenever I was at work. Finding the best bottle for your baby is almost always difficult and Ellie was much more picky than Olivia. I asked my Snapchat family if any of them have used Philips Avent bottle and here is what they had to say about it:
"We've used them for a long time and really like them."
"We loved them for my son. He just turned 1, so we quit bottles cold turkey, but we used these from 2 weeks on and never had any issues."
"Loved it!!! Tried it in conjunction with their natural nipple bottle when I weened her! Definitely noticed a difference in her mood after feedings." – Ashley
"I used the Avent bottles with my first and I liked them."
"We loved the Avent bottles! Our little guy used them whenever I was away at work." – Jackie
"It's the only bottle we ever used!" – Mary
Philips Avent makes Natural bottles, which are great for moms who want to combine breast and bottle feeding, and Anti-colic bottles, which are proven to reduce colic*. Fortunately, Ellie was not colicky but Olivia was when she was born until she was 3 months and it was a nightmare! I wish I knew then about these bottles!
At the time I started weaning Ellie (around 11 months), she was having about 5 bottles of 7-8 oz. a day along with her solids. Here is a bit more of a detailed example of how we weaned in 5 weeks:
Week 1: Cut out the nightly feed. With me, this was easy since my supply first starts to drop at the bedtime feeding. Ellie started getting a bottle of milk at bedtime around 10.5 months old so this feeding was cut out for us first. Cut this feeding out for a full week before moving on to the next!
Image by Victoria Gloria
Week 2: Cut out your 4th feeding and replace with just solids or a bottle. Ellie got this feeding when she woke up from her nap.
Week 3: Cut out nursing before 2nd nap.
Week 4: Cut out nursing before 1st nap
Week 5: Cut out the morning feeding
Basically, I just worked around the clock backwards until all the feedings were transitioned. Right now at 13 months, she only gets 3 bottles a day – one before each nap and once at bedtime. Some of those feedings were replaced with just solid food and some were replaced with a bottle. We also started introducing cow's milk and we are currently up to 4 oz of cow's milk and 4 oz of formula per bottle 😉 For that transition we just introduced 1 oz of cow's milk mixed with formula for a few days and then increased it to 2, 3, 4 and so on!
If you're interested in learning more about Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle, be sure to visit them on Facebook!
If you have any questions about the way we transitioned or have any tips you would like to add here for other moms, I would love for you to get in touch with me or send me a comment below! 🙂
*At 2 weeks of age, babies fed with a Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle showed a trend to less colic than babies fed with a conventional bottle and a trend toward less fussing at night than babies fed with a competitor's vented bottle.

State of Emergency Declared in Kentucky As Bitter Cold Closes Interstate Highways
By DON TERRY,
Published: January 20, 1994
CHICAGO, Jan. 19— The Winter of '94 is just a few weeks old, but the people of Kentucky will no doubt remember it for a long time.
Today, for the third day in a row, a state of emergency was in effect for the state, hit hard by a crippling combination of freezing rain, heavy snow and subzero temperatures.
All four interstate highways that crisscross Kentucky, nearly 730 miles of snow- and ice-covered roadway, were closed to all but emergency vehicles and those with special state permits, allowing the drivers to risk life and limb on the roads.
"This is the absolute worst situation we've ever had to face as a result of a winter storm," said James M. Everett, executive director of the state's Disaster and Emergency Services. "It's taxing the entire disaster and emergency system." Shortages of Goods
Shortages of goods and supplies were reported across Kentucky because trucks could not make deliveries. On Tuesday, as many as 900 18-wheel trucks were stranded in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Florence, Ky., 15 miles south of Cincinnati. A short stretch of interstate was opened as a truck escape route into Ohio. For many in Kentucky, the trucks' departure must have been painful, since rural grocery stores are reporting dwindling stocks.
Gas and electric utilities were pushed to the breaking point, with at least one small rural electric utility forced to shut when consumer demand overloaded the system.
In Minnesota, where winter carnivals mock the cold, 20 percent of the public schools were closed today. Half were closed in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Temperatures Turn Around
Across the rest of the Midwestern and Eastern winter belt, the bitter cold was beginning to loosen its grip today. Temperatures throughout the region began a slow, seductive climb toward zero and beyond after several days of subzero temperatures.
Here in Chicago, the city recorded its sixth consecutive day of subzero temperatures. But by late afternoon, the temperature had climbed to 7 degrees above zero, not shirt-sleeve weather but welcome nonetheless.
By the weekend, temperatures in Chicago were expected to reach the 30's and 40's. "It's going to feel like summertime," a man said today as he hurried along a downtown street, his breath frozen in air.
Today, in Kentucky the temperature hovered near zero, and relief from the brutal weather is not expected until Friday, when the National Weather Service expects temperatures to climb into the mid-40's. Asking for Federal Help
Gov. Brereton C. Jones toured his frigid state by airplane this afternoon. Mr. Everett said an application to seek Federal disaster assistance was being readied and officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency had arrived in Frankfort, the state capital.
Travel on the 725 miles of interstate highway was restricted today, except for vehicles that obtain a state permit for delivery of medical supplies, food and fuels. As of noon today, 400 permits had been issued, Mr. Everett said, and several truckers without permits were arrested.
Bob Adelman, the owner of Roadco Transportation, which dispatches trucks nationwide from Cicero, Ill., said his drivers are either bypassing the state or are waiting out the weather in roadside motels.
"That's causing a big-time impact," Mr. Adelman said. "We have freight that goes south, but we're staying out of Kentucky. If something needs to be delivered there, it's just going to have to wait until next week."
Shipments to the East Coast have also been slowed because of the weather and a lack of road salt in New Jersey, Mr. Adelman said.
"I often say this is a time of the year where you separate the men from the boys," he said. "If you go into this season in poor financial shape, this kind of thing will put you out of business. No pun intended, but it's a cold, cold world out there." A Mixed Blessing
The wicked weather has kept people inside, a mixed blessing, say police and experts on domestic violence.
Although there are no firm statistics available, Billy Davis, the spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, said the cold weather has probably reduced the number of street robberies "because there's nobody out on the streets."
But Carol Arthur, the director of a domestic abuse prevention and treatment program in Minneapolis, said the extreme temperatures combined with cabin fever can cause the stresses that lead to violent assault.
"The man goes out, the car won't start, he comes back in and he takes it out on his partner, that's a real typical scene we see at these times," Ms. Arthur said. "Cold weather is a cause of abuse because it causes all sorts of stresses that aren't normally there: catching the flu, having to stay home from work, having to stay inside. It adds up."
The worst of the storm hit Kentucky on the weekend and early attempts to plow the interstate highways were hampered by jackknifed trucks scattered about the road like a fleet of toys.
"We couldn't get the plows through some sections," Mr. Everett said, adding that plowing is possible now but clearing the road of ice is still difficult. "Salt and other chemicals just don't work in these temperatures," he said.
The economic effect on the region will take some time to determine. Statewide, a record 943 Kentucky National Guardsmen are on duty to help deliver emergency supplies and remove snow. Problems at Plants
But already some auto assembly plants and other manufacturers, which use "just-in-time inventory" as part of their production process, "are really upset" because supplies cannot reach the plants, Mr. Everett said.
Emergency officials in each county have been asking owners of four-wheel-drive vehicles to help transport doctors to hospitals. Mr. Everett said even he is relying on a volunteer with a four-wheel-drive vehicle to take him to work.
In Kentucky and throughout much of the region, education has been one of the most visible victims of the cold. Schools throughout the region were closed today, keeping hundreds of thousands of students at home and parents scrambling for baby sitters and other day care arrangements.
In Chicago the schools were closed for the second day in a row. It was the first time in the city's history that its public school system, the third largest in the nation with 411,000 pupils, had been shut because of cold weather. The schools are expected to reopen on Thursday.
At Board of Education headquarters, officials were studying the temperature and gauging the wind-chill index like high school students cramming for a college entrance exam. Ohio State Closes
Ohio State University in Columbus was also closed because of the cold, the first time in 16 years classes had been canceled because of weather.
The weather has also snarled the trucking industry, in some cases tripling costs. Fred Serpe, director of the Illinois Transportation Association, which represents 700 trucking and other transportation companies, said fuel, maintenance and motel costs have been climbing as fast as the temperature has been plunging.
Because of the cold and swirling snow many drivers have been forced off the road and into motel rooms to wait it out. Trucking companies have been forced to keep engines running 24 hours a day, profits and fuel burning away in the bitter wind.
"You can't risk turning the trucks off," Mr. Serpe said. "They might not start up again."
A third of Amtrak's trains into and out of Union Station in Chicago were canceled today. The trains that were running were operating at reduced speeds, Deborah Hare, an Amtrak spokeswoman, said.
"One of our trains sitting in our yard awaiting maintenance was found frozen to the tracks," she said.
Photo: Sometimes you can't even give it away. One merchant in Washington tried yesterday, because, with the cold snap showing no signs of abating, it seemed the only way to move a product that normally sells itself. (Stephen Crowley/The New York Times)

About You and Me
I love big old trees and tall grasses, and the dusk of the day is my favorite times to shoot. I am drawn to meadows and hidden trails. I was born and raised in Poland and grew up listening to 80s music. So don't be surprised if we show our dance moves at your reception. I love our old farm house that seems to be in constant state of remodeling. I love dogs, well all sorts of animals esp since we have dogs and a cat and a turtle named Walter, but I really LOVE dogs. Coffee is a must in the morning. I can't decide if I love the ocean or the mountains more… I think the mountains and adventure hikes. I love being a part of creating one of those best-days-ever that you will remember and cherish and tell stories about.

I had been planning to get one for a while in order to start learning iOS development and experiment, but postponed it for at least a year. The primary reason being the price tag. When Apple launched the latest MacBook Air 2013 models with Intel Haswell processors I finally got one.
You can find the specs of my machine here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/specs/macbook-air-core-i5-1.3-13-mid-2013-specs.html. I got the standard 13″ MacBook Air with 128GB flash storage and an upgrade to 8GB of RAM.
I've been using this for a little more than a month now, and I have to say it's a great machine. As a first-time mac user I cannot be happier with it. Not everything has gone perfect, but the problems I've had have all been resolved and I am now using it as my primary machine.
What I like the most is that it has an exceptional build quality. No other PC that I've used has been manufactured so well. The unibody aluminum design definitely wins over everything that is made of plastic out there. It is also very thin and light and I can use it on top of my lap for long periods of time without getting tired. Although it is not the fastest machine out there, I still haven't noticed any lag or inability to perform. In all honesty, I haven't done much work which requires heavy use of the hardware, but I have also tried things which are a little more complex than browsing pages. I have used GarageBand with software effects and I have also used LogicPro for audio processing. Most of the time the cooling fan doesn't even start and you cannot hear anything while the machine is working. I have had the fan turn on only twice, when doing intensive work with the hard disk. The rest of the time, the machine was almost impossible to hear.
Although one of the major advantages of the Air is the long battery life, I haven't been able to squeeze 12 hours out of it. It could probably go for 12 hours if you only click around on the web, but watching videos and doing development drains it much faster. It is still way better than other PCs, because the average in my case is 3-4 hours of heavy work. I haven't seen a machine match this.
I have tried MacOS before but had not used it day-to-day. It is a lot friendlier than Windows, although I am a power user and some of the things are too hidden for me. I have started using LaunchPad and the Dock heavily and feel happy with them. Every piece of software that I've installed looks great and is a pleasure to use. On Windows you can find a lot of things which are ugly and not thought out well. This is not the case here.
One major advantage over every other laptop that I've ever used is the trackpad. This is so good that when you try it once, you get annoyed when you cannot use the same features on another machine. Two-finger scroll, two-finger click for a context menu, moving between applications with horizontal swipe – these things are just awesome. Apple hit a home run with this.
The Problems
There are a couple of things which I had trouble with.
The WiFi Issue
The first one was the infamous WiFi issue with these models. Immidiately after I got home from the store I setup the mac and tried to get a feel of it. When I connected to my home router, I could browse online for about 10 minutes after which the connection stopped without any indication. The icon stays there and everything on the machine looks like it is connected, but you cannot open any web page. I called the Apple representative that I bought it from and they ran tests on the machine, concluding that there was nothing wrong with it. In the end, it turned out to be the encryption type on my router. I changed it from "WPA – Personal" to "WPA2 – Personal" and everything started working normally. It seems that with the upgraded wireless chip, Apple has some problems connecting to old networks with old encryption protocols. For most people, this would virtually be a non-issue since they probably have a newer router. Mine is a Linksys WRT54GL from 2005.
Multiple monitor support
The other problematic issue is multiple monitors. When I'm home, I use the mac with an external monitor through the Thunderbolt port (with an adapter). Apple have decided to make MacOS be smart about monitors, so whenever you connect a second one, it automatically recognizes it and sets it up with your last used settings. You can either mirror the built-in display or extend it, like you'd expect. However, whenever I put the laptop to sleep, the windows I have open are moved around after wakeup. If I have a window on the second monitor before sleep, the window is moved to the first one after wake. The window keeps the same dimensions it had on the external monitor, and in my case it looks ugly because the second monitor is with larger resolution. So not only is the window moved, but it doesn't fit on the default screen. I still haven't figured out how to fix this – it is probably a bug in MacOS. I hope that they will resolve it in a future update.
As a whole I am very happy with the machine and I haven't touched my PC since I bought it. It serves me well as a primary laptop and I can recommend it to anyone who is planning to buy a laptop in this class. The price is not that higher than the rest of the competition but you get a lot more for it.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TV Show Talk' started by Paul Secic, Dec 12, 2013.
Just another reason I'm closer to cutting the cord. What will this be, the 15th lifestyle channel on cable now?
I'm starting to wonder myself. We've just experienced a snow-turned-to-ice week and I couldn't safely get to my dish to clear it for a couple of days. Watched everything streaming via the internet directly from the network websites - even Leno's "Headlines" from Monday. This from that story makes me wonder:
I find it hard to believe there's much of a "younger and more modern sensibility" needing "linear" service. The "older and less modern sensibility" that now simply finds "linear" more convenient is soon going to want to quit spending their limited fixed income on cable/satellite. In case no one has noticed, the majority of "live plus same day viewers" became age 50+ viewers sometime back. Last year AARP had an article Who Needs Cable? 6 cheaper ways to watch great television shows which was far from complete and not well researched but may have been just the push some people needed.
Hey media conglomerates! Where's my AARP discount???
This topic title is totally misleading.
A&E owns Bio network, which is doing the reboot; this is abundantly clear if you actually read the link provided in the OP.
Yep, it is important to read the story the link ties to. It's about the A&E media conglomerate telling us old folks we're not their audience of choice. Maybe someone can change the title to "A&E to reboot Bio."
How do I change the title?
According to a local article about a show called "Rowhouse Showdown" that's being filmed here, the rebranding will be in July.
Thread title modified to more closely match linked article.
Goodby biography.
For Your Information?
Now why do I think there will be little real information on FYI?
We wanted to like Rowhouse Showdown, but they just annoy us.

Donut is the only pet I've had from birth to death.
She was born in China, one of four kittens in a cat we adopted who wasn't supposed to have been able to be pregnant. She was named Donut beacause she had a marking on her side that looked sort of like an "O", but her most distinctive feature was her black nose.
We didn't plan to keep the kittens, but as a kitten Donut was so attached to our dog that we decided we would keep her. Even though she lived with her actual biological mom all her life, Donut was more attached to the dog than any other cat she encountered.
So she flew home with us, along with her mom and another kitten we couldn't find a home for in Wuhan. The other kitten was adopted out in Canada, and Donut stayed with us- at my in-laws, then a rental, then another rental in Victoria, then my parents house before the house we live in now.
She took to living in Prince George just fine, but she did not like Victoria. We had to get her old cat tree shipped down to us before she became somewhat settled. She was particular like that.
She was also very vocal. A lot of cats are noisy, but Donut was one of the loudest and most persistent I've met. She would purr for a while if you'd pet her, but very quickly move on to another spot, just out of your reach. Though she would allow us to brush her out on the deck in the sun for long periods of time, purring and rolling around.
She had some other odd habits, particularly an obsession with eating plastic. We tried various psychological and physical remedies, but nothing seemed to reach, so we had to be careful not to have any plastic anywhere she could get it- no bread on the counter, no ribbons on the Christmas gifts, no packages ready to be mailed left on the ground.
Since we had her from kittenhood, I kind of figured that as long as we kept her away from plastic we'd have Donut into our forties. Most cats I've had live between 15 and 20 years and she was healthy.
Unfortunately, a growth in her stomach started slowing her down in December. We had her on fluids and medication in the hope that we could get her strength up enough that the vet would be able to get a better idea of what it was, although it was almost definitely inoperable. She perked up a little here and there, but over the last week deteriorated to the point that we were ready to let her go.
A vet was scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but that's been cancelled. Donut died curled up in my wife's lap, a few months shy of the ten year anniversary of her cutting her umbilical cord halfway around the world.
She will be missed.

BUNNYFiSH Studio, the term is metaphor for an amalgamation. As partners Tina Wichmann and Craig Palacios both come from strong professional backgrounds, but with different emphasis. Craig's experience in hospitality design and Tina's years working in civic design allow them to merge to similar but fundamentally different approaches to design conditions to look at things in a totally new way.
Our projects are a collision of two more strong ideas (usually one comes from the existing context, such as community, neighborhood or structure) and the other a new and un expected layering which makes the project not a bunny or a fish but a BUNNYFiSH.

In To Sir, with Love, how does Mr Braithwaite's stay in the school bring joy, courage and courteous behaviour in the lives of his students?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that Braithwaite's stay in the school is successful because it is driven by a "student first" philosophy. After some initial setbacks, Braithwaite's philosophy is one where he places the needs of his students first. This pedagogy allows students to see him as both educator and advocate, and removes the barriers where instructional and pedagogical challenges abound. In this setting, Braithwaite's stay brings joy and courage because of the increase in respect and instruction that follows as a result. Braithwaite examined the needs of his students and tailor made his function in the classroom to this end. In doing this, students were able to not only find meaning in what was being taught, but were able to reduce the barriers that previously blocked out instruction. The emotional climate became the result of this pedagogy and was the reason why students at the high school became more vested in their learning.

Mush-Boom is Nightcap's premium legendary plant signature superpower trick card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Kabloom and Smarty classes. It costs 1 to play, and its abilities make a Poison Mushroom on a selected lane, and do 2 damage to a zombie on that lane.
Its name is a combination of the words "mushroom," the fleshy, spore-bearing fruity body of a fungus, and "boom," a loud, deep, resonant sound.
- Classes: Kabloom, Smarty
- Tribes: Mushroom Superpower Trick
- Abilities: Make a 1/1 Poison Mushroom with Anti-Hero 2. Do 2 damage to a Zombie there.
- Set - Rarity: Premium - Legendary
Card description
Nightcap and his mushroom friends are not to be truffled with.
Update history
Update 1.2.11
- Name change: Toadstool Takedown → Mush-Boom
If you get this trick at the beginning of the game, it is recommended to use it immediately, as most zombies that cost 1 brain are easily destroyed by this trick. If that zombie is destroyed, the Poison Mushroom made by this trick can land a hit on your opponent.
However, if your opponent does not send out a zombie on the first turn, beware, as they may be saving their brain for a trick like Bungee Plumber, which can easily destroy Poison Mushroom. It is also a bit of a waste since its ability can only do damage to a zombie fighter and not to your opponent directly.
In the mid-to-late-game, try not to choose lanes where Mush-Boom's ability cannot destroy the zombie on it, as Poison Mushroom loses its usefulness without its Anti-Hero boost. But even then, you should have other plants that can do better than Poison Mushroom, so it may not be a bad idea to use this trick on a lane with a zombie with up to 3 health and destroy it.
Unless you need to block the lane for a turn, do not use this against Knight of the Living Dead or shielded zombies, as they are immune to both the 2 damage and Poison Mushroom's attack.
In the early-game, it is recommended to save your brains (unless you have Cat Lady, Quickdraw Con Man, Bungee Plumber, Nibble, or any damaging superpower), because if you use your brains to play a zombie, Mush-Boom destroys that zombie, causing you to lose both that zombie and 3 health. Stalling your opponent and giving them no clear opportunity to safely play this trick works in your favor, as Mush-Boom's effectiveness diminishes when you can play zombies that Mush-Boom cannot destroy.
Of course, you can also just take 3 damage on the first turn and retaliate next turn.
AI opponents usually uses this almost instantly even if there is no zombies on the lawn, giving you an advantage if you have damaging tricks.
- Its description has a pun: "truffle" (a type of mushroom), instead of "trifle" (to act with disrespect towards).
- When the dragon flies around, Nightcap freezes in place until the dragon is gone. But if a card is played, the dragon instantly disappears and Nightcap also resumes his animations.
- It, Smoosh-Shroom and Sportacus are the only mushrooms in the Smarty class.
- Out of the three, it is the only mushroom trick in the Smarty class.

Arena security at the Pepsi Center was on high alert for Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night, but it was pretty much wasted on Avalanche fans.
"We upgraded the security to (the level of) a conference championship game," Avs spokesman Jean Martineau said. "That's three grades up from a regular-season game, but the people won't even notice it."
Except for some lusty booing and two groups of young fans who dressed up in jailhouse jumpsuits with Bertuzzi's name on the back, the widely despised Canucks forward, who attacked former Avalanche player Steve Moore in Vancouver in the 2003-04 season, got off easy.
That's why Steve Smyth, a season ticket-holder since the Avs moved to Denver 10 years ago, was so frustrated he couldn't help himself in the calm just before the national anthems.
"Hey, Bertuzzi, you're a bum," he shouted.
"He is a bum," Smyth said. "I watched that game, and he stalked Steve Moore. As a matter of fact, I was yelling, 'Watch it, watch it, he's going to get him, he's going to get him.' Two linesmen, two referees on the ice, we were ahead like 8-1, what was he even doing on the ice? And he sucker-punched him and drove him into the ice, and (Vancouver coach) Marc Crawford's over there, with a big smirk on his face, looking over at our bench.
"The whole thing was just an outrage. (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman absolutely did not handle this properly. To give (Bertuzzi) 12 games and the playoffs was an absolute disgrace. Because when Marty McSorley hit Donald Brashear, he was out for a year-and-a-half, and then when he was able to come back in the league nobody wanted to touch him.
"These guys … Wayne Gretzky's already picked him to play for Team Canada," Smyth said. "This is absurd. He's one of the strongest guys in the league. He could have killed (Moore). And it was premeditated. He stalked him, circled around behind him and you could see he was going after him. Stevie Moore, I don't think he's skated yet. His career's probably over, and here's this guy skating out there on the ice, earning his millions of dollars.
"(Bertuzzi) said in one of his interviews, 'I'm not a mean-spirited person.' Are you kidding me? He'd have to grow to be a mean-spirited person."
Martineau said he was unaware of any confrontations or any other incidents in the stands, but a local television station reported a woman in a Bertuzzi jersey got a beer bath.
Two 19-year-olds, Derek Staudt and Randy Rayback, showed up early in orange jumpsuits with Bertuzzi's name on the back and his number (44) over the pocket.
"He definitely saw us," Staudt said. "We just wanted to let him know where we think he should be."
With the Avs jumping out to a big early lead, the overall fan reaction to Bertuzzi "was a little quieter than I thought it would be," Staudt said. "But I think he knows he's not welcome here."
That was the message Julie McPherson, husband, Jeff McPherson, Jake Stene and Chris Pino, all in their early 20s, had for Bertuzzi in their black-and-white jumpsuits and cardboard jail.
"We felt like the hit on Steve Moore deserved a little bit more than a 13-game (regular season) suspension," Jeff McPherson said. "I think he got the message."
