TORONTO - The Toronto stock market chalked up a minor loss Wednesday as traders continued to digest earnings reports from the Canadian banking sector, in this case a solid report from National Bank (TSX:NA).
The S&P/TSX composite index gave back 16.56 points to 15,602.65.
The Canadian dollar surged 0.81 of a cent to 92.12 cents US as the currency benefited from a major deal that will see American fast food giant Burger King buy Canadian coffee and doughnut chain Tim Hortons for $12.5 billion.
Traders also anticipated a strong economic growth update Friday when Statistics Canada releases the June reading on gross domestic product.
U.S. indexes were mixed amid a glum economic outlook.
The U.S. Congressional Budget Office says the American economy will grow by just 1.5 per cent this year, hurt by a poor first-quarter performance.
But the CBO also says the U.S. economy should grow by 3.4 per cent over 2015 and 2016, and predicts that the unemployment rate in that country will remain below six per cent into the future.
The Dow Jones industrials was up 15.31 points to 17,122.01, the Nasdaq edged 1.02 points lower to 4,569.62 and the S&P 500 index added 0.1 of a point to 2,000.12.
National Bank posted net earnings of $441 million, up 10 per cent from a year ago. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.20 a share, nine cents ahead of estimates.
Total revenues for the country's sixth largest-lender rose 10 per cent to $1.42 billion and its shares gained $1.51 or 3.06 per cent to $50.91, six cents short of the all time high it hit during the session.
National Bank's earnings followed reports from Royal Bank (TSX:RY), which on Friday posted a record quarterly profit that beat expectations and a dividend increase. Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) and Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) reported mixed results Tuesday with expectations elevated for a sector that is up 12 per cent year to date.
"Most of the bank shares rallied into the earnings," observed Ian Nakamoto, director of research at 3MACS. Most of the big banks are at or very close to 52-week highs or record levels.
"The one thing it shows to me, looking at the Royal and Scotiabank, their core business, the personal and commercial (lending) in Canada, is slowing down. That's sort of the bread and butter (of the banks). Is the consumer going to start borrowing more? It's hard to see that."
The TSX financial sector was ahead 0.36 per cent ahead of earnings coming out Thursday from CIBC (TSX:CM) and TD Bank (TSX:TD).
Elsewhere on the TSX, the gold sector was down about one per cent while December bullion declined $1.80 to US$1,283.40 an ounce.
The base metals sector was down 0.8 per cent as December copper was down one cent at US$3.20 a pound.
The energy sector shed 0.21 per cent while October crude in New York inched up two cents at US$93.88 a barrel.
In other corporate news, uranium miner Cameco (TSX:CCO) said Wednesday it's preparing to stop work at its McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill operations in northern Saskatchewan due to a labour dispute. It said the company and the roughly 535 unionized workers represented by the United Steelworkers are set to begin a strike-lockout at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 30.
Cameco said a labour disruption is not expected to affect its 2014 uranium delivery commitments. Its shares fell 77 cents to $21.14.

38 Hawaii Species Proposed for Endangered Species Act Protection
Proposal Would Also Protect 271,000 Acres for Rare Hawaii Plants, Animals
HONOLULU— In response to a landmark settlement with the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today proposed to protect 35 plants and three tree snails on the Hawaiian islands of Molokai, Lanai and Maui under the Endangered Species Act. The agency is also proposing to protect 271,062 acres (423 square miles) of critical habitat for these and 97 already listed species on Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Kahoolawe. Nearly half the newly designated habitat overlaps with critical habitat already designated for species protection.
"Hawaii is home to some of the most beautiful and endangered species on Earth, and we're elated that these rare plants and animals are getting the protection they need to survive," said Tierra Curry, a conservation biologist with the Center.
The species are threatened primarily by habitat loss and by competition and predation from nonnative species such as feral pigs, goats, rats and invasive plants and insects.
"If we're going to save Hawaii's rarest plants and animals, we'll need the Endangered Species Act to get it done. The Act has been 99 percent successful at preventing the extinction of the species under its care," said Curry.
The animals proposed for protection are two species of Lanai tree snail and Newcomb's tree snail. The snails are found only on wet cliffs where they live on specific host plants and eat fungus and algae.
The plants proposed for protection are a stunning variety of colorful geraniums, sunflowers, bellflowers, vines, shrubs and trees from coastal, lowland, subalpine and cliff environments. They include the hala pepe, popolo, kookoolau, awikiwiki and haha nui, among others. For some of the plant species, only a few individuals survive.
The Center first petitioned to protect 20 of the species in 2004. Today's listing proposal is in accordance with a historic legal settlement between the Center and the Fish and Wildlife Service in July 2011, which will expedite protection decisions for 757 of the most threatened species around the country.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 350,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

April 30th vs. The Blue Jays
The Yankees are now 13-10 on the season – and in first place!
It's incredible that they are also 10-0 in day games this year. Watch out Willy Clark and Al Lewis – there's a new version of The Sunshine Boys forming in front of our eyes. (By the way, did I call the 13-10 record, or what? Now, let's hope that I'm right about the hot May and June as well.)
Mussina continues to leave runners stranded – he got out of a 1st and 3rd spot in the 2nd, a runner on 3rd in the 3rd, and the bases loaded in the 5th today. Amazing.
Let's hope that Wang and Chacon can be as magical in Fenway.
And, was there no way to do something with Sturtze (to get Small on the roster) instead of sending down Smith? That extra LHP out of the pen could be useful against Ortiz and Nixon this week.

Laugh all you want (or cower in fear), but cable-drawn aerial transportation just might be the next big thing.
To hear the evangelists tell it, the skyborne pods that have ferried skiers through the Alps for most of the last century are an integral part of the future of urban transport. Cheaper than terrestrial fixed guideway transit and quicker to build, the gondola is finally taking its rightful place in the urban landscape.
"Depending on how you measure it," says Steven Dale of the Gondola Project, "it is the fastest growing transportation method in the world."
Comparatively, that is. Until the last decade, the idea of relying largely on gondolas for mass transit was considered comical, if it was considered at all. Into the 1990s, Dale says, "there was no literature. There was nothing."
Today, as gondola construction accelerates, Dale's Gondola Project is probably the single most valuable database on the subject. And yet when the talk turns to gondolas, there are still two kinds of people in the world: those who think the gondola is the answer to a city's short-range transportation needs, and those who can't understand why everyone is talking about those tippy Venetian boats.
It's a strong dichotomy, and one that seems to imply that the gondolistas are either members of a insular transit cult or miles ahead of the rest of us.
Perhaps it's a little of both.
The gondola renaissance began, more or less, with Medellín. In 2004, the Colombian city built a gondola to connect one of its sprawling hillside neighborhoods to the trunk line of the Metro, which runs along the fold of the valley. The success of that project inspired the construction of two more lines, which in turn helped make the city an international destination for mayors and urban thinkers, and the winner of the Urban Land Institute's Innovation City of the Year last month.
Medellín had imitators. In 2007, Portland, Oregon, built a tramway to connect a university campus to downtown. New York City renovated its Roosevelt Island Tram in 2010. In 2009, Manizales, Colombia, installed a gondola system in imitation of Medellin. The next year, Caracas built one; the year after, Rio de Janeiro did too.
Last year, London built an aerial cable crossing the Thames, and in the fall, La Paz announced it will build the world's largest gondola transit network, with eleven stations and over seven miles of cable. The French cities of Brest and Toulouse will complete cable transport in 2015 and 2017, respectively.
So why is this only happening now? Cable-drawn transport has existed for thousands of years, and was widely used during the 19th century in mines and at mills. Like industrial technologies before it, the machinery slowly crept into city life nearly 150 years ago.
Well-known to Americans are the cable cars of San Francisco, the first of which was developed in 1873. Despite their resemblance to the common streetcar, these vehicles have more in structural common with gondolas and trams. Alpine cities like Grenoble installed aerial cable transport as early as 1934. Cable transport was an early proposed alternative to the project that became the Paris Métro.
But as the 20th century progressed, the technology retreated to the mountains. Most of San Francisco's cable cars were replaced with streetcars and later buses. The two companies that manufacture cable systems, Leitner-Poma and Doppelmayr, seemed little interested in hawking their wares to cities, and few planners came a-calling. Advances like two-speed cables were developed for skiers, and their potential as urban people-movers was largely overlooked.
The technology never entirely disappeared from cities, of course. The Roosevelt Island Tramway was completed in 1976 (albeit as a stopgap while subway service to the island was under construction). As transportation to hilltop monuments around the world, aerial transit continued to be popular: the tram to Rio's Sugarloaf opened in 1912; to Bogota's Monserrate in 1955; to Jounieh's Our Lady of Lebanon in 1965. The mountainous cities of Algeria are threaded with gondolas that serve both tourists and commuters.
But until the last couple decades, there was very little information on gondolas and trams as a transit device.
"In the late '80s and early '90s," Dale says, "the planning profession's understanding of the technology was 180 degrees inaccurate – they thought the technology was expensive, dangerous, slow. They thought it wouldn't move enough people. Difficult to procure, difficult to implement – everything you know if you're familiar with the technology is demonstrably false."
And beyond that, according to Assman Ekkehard, a marketing director for Doppelmayr, there was an image problem. "Most people — politicians, the public itself, architects, the people who are doing the plans for cities, traffic specialists — they also had, and still sometimes have this association: ropeways are good for tourists, they're good for bringing people up the mountain, but they're not a good means of transport."
That's beginning to change, Ekkehard believes. "People see cities with ropeways and they see it works," he says. "It's a very reasonable means of transit – you don't need a lot of infrastructure. They need very little space. They're very environmentally friendly."
But perhaps more importantly in an era of diminished public funds, they can be built quickly and cheaply.
"It's very low-cost compared to an alternative," says Edward Neumann, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and author of the paper "The past, present and future of urban cable propelled people movers." In Toulouse, for example, the proposed gondola route will be two to three times less expensive than installing a streetcar.
Michael McDaniel, who is trying to convince Austin, Texas, to develop a transit network of gondolas, framed the costs like this in an interview with Marketplace:
"Running subway lines under a city can cost about $400 million per mile. Light rails systems run about $36 million per mile. But the aerial ropeways required to run gondolas cost just $3 million to $12 million to install per mile."
It's not that boosters think aerial transit can or should render fixed guideways on the ground obsolete. Theirs is the more modest claim that in certain cases, cable-drawn is the best solution.
That doesn't just mean crossing rivers (as in New York) climbing mountains (as in Portland) or bridging gorges (as in Constantine). Perhaps more important than the plans for Brest and Toulouse is the scheme for Créteil, a suburban township southeast of Paris and the terminus of the Paris Métro's Line 8.
Rather than argue for a costly extension of the Métro, the city plans to build a four-stop gondola connecting the terminus to the neighboring city of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. Gondolas can carry up to 6,000 persons per hour per direction, a rate competitive with the practical capacity of light rail and for a fraction of the price. If the system at Créteil (2016-18) is a success, the gondola may prove the exemplary solution to the "first mile problem" of integrating commuters on the periphery of a mass transit system.
There have been growing pains. Critics have called the Rio gondola an instrument of gentrification and "de-densification," intended to push out rather than serve residents of the favela it runs through. The Portland project cost nearly four times the projections, and the current round-trip fare ($4 for tourists) is more than twice the initial estimates.
Worse still has been the saga of the Emirates Air Line, the towering gondola inaugurated for the London Olympics last summer. Like cable-drawn transit in Portland, New York, Medellin, and Rio, it was framed as an addition to the city's transit network. It appears on the Tube Map, is accessible via Oystercard, and is run by Transport for London. But though the cable car registered over 1.5 million trips between June and November, exceeding expectations, it proved virtually incapable of attracting commuters: in the two months after the Games ended in September, only one in ten thousand journeys was a discounted commuter fare. Officials remain optimistic that number will grow as the area served continues to develop.
Dale thinks the London system was an unfortunate anomaly. Contrary to government marketing, he says, the route is plainly not intended to serve commuters.
Beyond that, though, gondola systems face an uphill battle in the public opinion. They look, frankly, silly and constitute something of a political gamble. Aesthetically, it's unclear if they will sit well with preservationists or neighbors. And they tend to unnerve commuters (and planners) much the way underground journeys did during the early days of subway construction. (Studies indicate that claustrophobia and acrophobia each affect approximately 5 percent of the population)
"You apply a stricter standard to new ideas than you do to old ideas," Dale notes.
And then, at least in the United States, there's the language barrier: we tend to associate gondolas with Venice, cable cars with San Francisco, trams with streetcars. Would you want to be suspended 100 feet in the air from a "ropeway"? If cable-drawn aerial transportation is going to catch on in U.S. cities, it will need to win over minds and mouths alike. And perhaps stomachs, too.

Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
In places where most child cares and schools have closed, in-home family daycares that remain open aren't seeing the demand — or the support — they expected.
Former HUD secretary and presidential candidate Julián Castro has ideas for state and federal leaders on protecting vulnerable renters from a housing disaster.

Can a mac mini provide such services without a difficult setup and horrible maintenance?
If so what would be an ideal spec for the server, if not is there anything cheep and better (more user friendly)?

It has never been a matter of 'rights,' it has always been a matter of responsibility. Just ask Qween Amar (seen wearing his chiffon tu-tu in the picture).
Recently, in arguments heard at the US Supreme Court, many opinions were expressed over the terms of marriage, equality, and right. Little was heard about the term responsible behavior. Sadly, marriage, equality, and 'rights' are all about responsible behavior. Justice Alito asked simply 'when was marriage first legislated, 1868, 1791? When?.' It wasn't. The idea predates any United States. Justice Kennedy, who is often called the 'swing judge' usually because his convictions keep swinging in the breezes of prevailing politics instead of the Constitution, said it best. 'This was never a federal question. This is an area of State responsibility.' So true, but it was the federal courts agreeing to hear a case involving a clearly defined state issue in the first place that made it a federal question. Irresponsible federal intervention caused this problem.
Marriage was NEVER about religion. Marriage was ALWAYS about civil responsible behavior in a community. It was how communities insured moral, ethical, and even yes responsible behavior of its members. Marriage was about support, parenting, and good order and discipline in a society. It was about who paid the bills for the civil partnership and its results. It was about rules of behavior that were for the good of the community, society. Incest, inbreeding, and what are now called social diseases were not, shall any one dare to say, prevalent around the time that the term marriage was first used. Males and females partnered to breed. They had children the, even then, old fashioned way, one man impregnating one female in a natural way. There were no test tubes, turkey basters, surrogates, or donors. There were also clearly known responsible partners, and supporters. Communities knew who to hold accountable for the offspring.
There were no issues about equality. Men were men, women were women and societies clearly understood the rules that they set for themselves. Communities knew that Fathers should not breed daughters and that mothers should not breed with their sons. They also knew that homosexuality could not lead to any children. Communities also knew that homosexuality lead to many disease related deaths not seen in male and female relationships. There were reasons that societies formed these taboos against certain behaviors. They were inherently irresponsible behaviors that were not good for the community. Religions adopted these practices and taboos from civil society rather than religions foisting these taboos onto society.
The responsible action is for the court to dismiss this court challenge. It should further vacate any and all federal court rulings concerning marriage, and dismiss any current federal challenges of the question of marriage in any federal court. This is a state question. It is also a question for states to determine what is moral and ethical within state boundaries. Irresponsible sex and breeding is still not in the best interests of any society. Inbreeding is a health issue, as is homosexual sex (just check with the National Institutes for Health and the Centers for Disease Control if you question that). Child support, role modeling and responsible parenting are still sorely needed in this country. So is responsible parenting and social behavior.

text: Four key drivers for Australian markets and one caution 31 October 2018 Reece Birtles Australia Share this article: We devote most of our resources to identifying insights that can generate long-term returns and minimise risk. But in the short-term, returns and risk can be driven by very different forces. Currently, the most important drivers to Australian short-term equity market returns are US growth, inflation, US bond yields and the length of the economic growth cycle. Four charts that highlight what we see in these drivers: 1) World growth strong, but mostly driven by US 2) Strong US growth is tightening the labour market, threatening rising inflation 3) Only recently have real yields risen, but remain well below levels proportionate to growth/inflation 4) Changing real yield narrative is just now starting to show in style Price paid for long-term cash flows is critical to long-term returns Investment opportunities arise from differentiated insights on long-term drivers such as sustainable free cash flow, quality of business model and strong stewardship, and market prices that diverge from long-term fundamentals. But the price paid for these cash flows is critical to long-term returns. Taking into consideration the distortions caused by the short-term drivers of persistent low real yields and narrowness of economic growth, today we believe the most important consideration for long-term investor returns in Australian equities will be not paying too much for the Growth/Quality style.

Joe Maddon Keeps Clubhouse Loose
Joe Maddon and the Tampa Bay Rays like to keep a pretty loose team. With directives such as themed road trips, some would argue that the Rays are the one team in baseball that players would like to play for most. This weekend, Maddon may have raised the bar that much more.
Before Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics, Maddon arranged for a DJ to spin a set in the team's clubhouse to lighten the mood.
Reason No. 761 why @raysjoemaddon is awesome--he brought a DJ to Rays clubhouse to loosen things up. Yes, seriously: twitter.com/RaysBaseball/s…— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) April 20, 2013
Before this afternoon's game? A magician was brought in. That's right. A magician. Who wouldn't love this change of pace from the day to day grind of the baseball season?
Less than an hour before first pitch, a magician has captive audience in Rays clubhouse. Nearly entire team watching. twitter.com/RaysBaseball/s…— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) April 21, 2013
What will they come up with next? A clown to make everyone balloon animals? An arts and crafts day? Regardless, it's great to see a manager that does everything to get his team to be loose and just focus on having fun on the field.

German Court Sees Through The DOJ Fairy Tale, Rejects Attempt To Seize Megaupload Assets
from the a-string-of-failures deptWe've covered a series of embarrassing setbacks for the US government's case against Megaupload over the past few months. It's a pretty stunning trail of errors by US officials who seemed to think that a scary story about a "bad man" would trump a lack of actual evidence or following legal procedure. While the case may hold up in the long run, it seems like everywhere you look there's evidence of highly questionable activity by the government.
The latest setback comes from Germany, where the US sought assistance from officials in seizing various assets of Dotcom's or Megauploads. However, the court has now rejected the request:
The Frankfurt judges have since rejected this request, because it contains insufficient evidence. The US legal team failed to demonstrate that a web hosting service for the illegal upload of copyrighted files, amounts to a criminal offence.Of course this was the same point that we raised the day that Megaupload was shut down. While it may be true that many Megaupload users have infringed on copyrights, there's a massive leap from that point to the idea that Megaupload is a criminal enterprise -- yet the US government's case basically skips over any details to make that leap. Thankfully cooler heads are recognizing that a significant amount of the US's case seems to be based on a fairy tale that US officials -- under the influence of Hollywood -- keep telling.
According to the German 'Telemediengesetz' (communications legislation), a hosting service for foreign files will generally not be accountable unless the host had active knowledge of illegal activity. The judges also emphasised that the concept of knowledge is limited to positive knowledge. Therefore if the service provider believes that it is possible or likely that a specific piece of information is stored on their server, this is not sufficient evidence of knowledge of abuse.
According to the court ruling, there is no legal obligation to monitor the transmitted data or stored information or to search for any illegal activity.
Tip to DOJ officials under the sway of Hollywood's version of the internet: remember, these people make their livings telling fairy tale stories. You know those opening credit lines about how something is "based on a true story"? Yeah, quite frequently the actual truth is a long way from what's shown. It seems that you may have been taken in by another such Hollywood "true" tale.

STILLNESS AS ART: Quirky events are, well, offbeat, while venerable and elegant happenings are, wait for it, venerable and elegant and revered. There isn't a lot of crossover between the two concepts; the stranger cultural doings tend to be known for their more narrow (but nifty) appeal while the bigger, posher to-dos are famed for a certain fanciness. There are a few notable exceptions, however, and at the top of the hallowed heap is the much-loved, eight-decades-along Pageant of the Masters. The Laguna Beach-based summertime spectacle is so revered and so quirky that it is both attended by people in gussied-up going-out togs and it has been satirized, with affection, by "Arrested Development." Seriously, you can't make that in any lab or invent it whole cloth. Being both things has to be earned, and the people-posing-inside-paintings extravaganza has more than garnered that unique privilege. It's set to roll -- or stay still, rather -- again on July 9, 2014. But tickets go on sale to the general public on Sunday, Dec. 1.
NOW ABOUT THE THEME: One of the more traditional and twinkly aspects of Pageant is that each year it takes on a new theme. The 2013 production paid tribute to Hollywood, and the 2014 outing? "The Art Detective." Yep, "lost treasures" and discovery are on the docket, assuring prospective audiences that a few found-again masterpieces will be saluted. Oh, and of course, "The Last Supper," too, which is the traditional closing painting of the show. Never seen the quirkiest of California traditions? It's pretty much a must. If you, too, are a bit of a gumshoe when it comes to missing art, the upcoming theme is worth framing.

Aaron you ROCK!
" I just bought a 2019 ECLIPSE Cross from Southside Mitsubishi and had an amazing experience. Aaron Glena treated me like family and went over and above any experience I ever had buying a vehicle. I left the dealership with an outstanding vehicle and top notch service...I will recommend this dealership to everyone. One Happy Customer...Aaron you ROCK! "
Thank you Southside Mitsubishi Service Department
" First off, I bought my car, used, in Calgary. My Air Conditioning broke down on my way to Edmonton. I called Southside because it was the closest to where I was staying, and I am happy it was the closest. The service department worked hard within the confines of warranty, dealing with the dealership in Calgary, and still dealing with the other costumers they had that day, to get me on the road. The best costumer service I have received in a really long time. Especially, since I didn't even buy the car from them. Thank you Courtney for caring enough to deal with all the paperwork and phone calls to fix my car. All this with a smile and friendly attitude. You are an asset to your team. Thank you Southside Mitsubishi Service Department "
Exceptional customer service
" Exceptional customer service, extremely friendly and got me in exactly what I wanted even though another dealership said it wasn't possible. They gave me more for my trade and then the other dealership was willing to and went above and beyond to make me happy. "
Cannot say enough good things about the folks in the Service Department,
" I am a first time owner of an Outlander 2018 (bought about 6 months ago from me writing this review). - Cannot say enough good things about the folks in the Service Department, and also the dealership in general (including reception). - Fast, efficient, polite, value conscious and attentive to your needs. - Excellent use of their website and through digital means to book appointments and also to see and archive service records online through Mitsubishi Canada. Kudos to all the staff at Southside Mitsubishi. I hope this review gets read by the owner so she/he can realize that staff are doing a good job at the dealership. "
Great family owned business
" Liron was the best helper and salesman, came to see a car with little intention of buying it, and came out with a car in our hands. Very helpful and a nice guy. Great family owned business. "
Will be going through South Side Mitsubishi in the future
" Was helped out by a salesman named Liron, great guy. It was my first big purchase this week and he went above and beyond to help me get into a vehicle I loved. When I was denied at a few other dealerships due to credit issues he assured me he's be able to get me back on track. Management and finance was also great. Will be going through South Side Mitsubishi in the future. "
5 Stars is not enough for this Team,
" 5 Stars is not enough for this Team, Huge Thank you to Liron, Sam, and Diego. What started as a shot in the dark turned into me walking away with a newer truck than originally planned. They got me out of an upside down loan and back on the right track. Cant express enough how happy i am with all the handwork they put into my file. They kept me in the loop the whole time with constant updates. If you are looking for a team that will fight for you, i recommend these guys. "
Just want to say thank you
" Just want to say thank you to Chase for making my Son's first big car purchase a pleasant one!!! Thank you for staying late and presenting him with the keys !! He is so excited and was super impressed with you!! Thanks again! "
Above and Beyond
" Diego and Dany go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and show you the various ways to go about buying a new vehicle. They check up on you often to ensure you get the best possible deal for the sake of outstanding customer service. I highly recommend seeing either one of these workers because they are the nicest people I have ever met. Thank you guys for helping me settle in with my Mitsubishi Lancer. -Justin P. "
Amazing people
" Amazing people I dealt with. Made my purchase a cake walk. Huge shout out to Barry (Sales Manager), for giving me an outstanding deal. I am sold for life to Mitsubishi for their awesome warmness and ecstatic customer service. Thanks guys, Cheers!! "
We had the most Incredible Experience
" I just had the most incredible experience- at a car dealership!! This past September we bought a Mitsubishi Outlander from the one of the kindest young men I have ever met-Brandon Robertson! With the sale of the car he said he would give two of their Mitsubishi mountain bikes to our daughters. I was supposed to pick them up shortly after the purchase of our car but as life would have it I put it off until today. When I got there all the bikes were gone except the display models on the roof racks of the cars in the showroom. After a few minutes talking to management, Brandon came out and said "I can't give you these bikes I promised but we can drive down to Canadian tire and I can buy you two bikes of your choice!!!!!" Seriously who does that?? Well, he did... and thanks to him my kids have brand new bikes for Christmas because he had the best costumer service!! That was totally not expected and we are very grateful. He answered all my questions with patience about things I forgot about the new car. I'm totally totally impressed and I would recommend them 100 times over. Thanks so much!! "
This is our second vehicle purchase through Southside Mitsubishi
" This is our second vehicle purchase through southside Mitsubishi and we can't be happier. Aaron and Neil answered all of our concerns and took the care and consideration needed to help us through our deal. When I picked up my new car I had a fabulous bouquet of balloons and a HUGE bow on it. Made my day! "
After what I had to deal with at another Dealership, this is the only one I will come to
" After what I had to recently deal with at another dealership this is the only one I will come to and bring my own family to. Everyone here is friendly and willing to help, I'm so great full for the way they handled my girlfriends new Ralliart purchase aswell as helping us deal with another dealership that they didn't even have to. More then a car dealer is for sure, South side is where it's at. "
I used to be a Die Hard Ford Buyer
" I use to be a die hard Ford Buyer.. but from recent experience with DK Ford in Leduc AB I could definitely say I will never purchase another Ford again. I can't Rave enough from my AMAZING experience with Southside Mitsubishi in Edmonton AB. I dealt personally with both Mike as well as the sales associate Brian. They went above and beyond, Mike was working off hours on finding a buyer for my Ford Escape so I could maximize the trade in value. They are extremely quick and efficient. I was placed into an amazing vehicle that met my needs and even better on the wallet. Southside Mitsubishi worked tooth and nail for my business. I will continue to recommend this dealership. They are a company that cares about their customers and are willing to work with you so you leave happy!!!!! "
Very Accomodating and Friendly
" the staff and crew are very accomodating and friendly. one of the best dealership in edmonton "
Customer Testimonial
" We received excellent service from Aaron Glena , sales rep from Southside Mitsubishi. He gave us a deal that was very difficult to turn down. I am certain it was a compromise that may have cut into his and the dealership commission, for sure he nor the dealership have lost any money in this transaction but the point is that they are willing to dicker in good faith, in good will like the way honest business should be done. I am happy. Good luck Aaron and Southside Mitsubishi good simple: good faith, good will and a hand shake. "
Customer Testimonial
" I bought my used car here and I had a great experience. Being a single female, I was a bit nervous about being taken advantage of but I got an amazing deal and was treated fantastic. My next car will be a Lancer and I'll come back to Southside to get it! "
Customer Testimonial
" I went to this dealership due to an issue I had with my car and the service I had received from a previous location and I received above par service from two men. One was Aaron and a service manager named Colton. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They were both very professional and helpful. "
Customer Testimonial
" Love going in there even if its just for regular service! Always friendly people, very helpful. Just bought a second vehicle from them, with great upgrades at a price I'm willing to pay, and I'm cheap! Our salesman was professional personable and helped with free add-ons discounted pricing! I will always recommend buying a Mitsubishi regardless of where you get it, but for the best people I will always go to SouthSide Mitsubishi! "
Customer Testimonial
" Mitsubishi and I have had our fair share of hardships concerning a deck that was put in, but at the end of the day the staff is always polite and helpful & the management team will always makes an effort to help u in anyway they can! I wasn't happy with the aftermarket deck I had gotten through them from ken wood and it has been 3 years worth of battles with the manufacturer.. even though it's way past warranty south side took the time to hear me out and are helping get something I am happy with! Thank you Mitsubishi south side! "

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 13, 2009) – The current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update released on April 13 includes recaps of the team's matches against Egypt, 2009 statistics, briefs on upcoming U.S. events, national team players competing overseas, trivia questions and much more.
For the complete PDF version that includes the trivia questions, 2009 season stats, international transfer list and other fan interaction sections, click here.
TRIVIA QUESTIONS: 1. What is the only mother-daughter combination to have both worn the U.S. Women's National Team jersey in a senior-level event (at different times)? 2. Which U.S. Women's National Team player has not been part of a losing match since Sept. 15, 2007? Answers can be found on page two in the full PDF version (click here) of the current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update.
McCUTCHEON, U.S. WIN SEASON OPENER OVER EGYPT: The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team defeated Egypt 25-14, 25-27, 25-18, 28-26 on April 10 at Cairo to open its 2009 season. The two teams will play again on April 12 at Cairo. The match represented the first contest for Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) serving as the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team. He accepted the position in December of 2008 after leading the U.S. Men's National Team to a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. Middle blockers Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) and Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) led the Americans with a combined 33 points.

Outside hitters Therese Crawford (Kalamazoo, Mich.) contributed 13 kills on 28 attacks, while outside hitter Brittany Moore (Orange, Calif.) recorded 10 kills on 23 attempts with only one error to go with a block and ace.

Setter Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) provided six kills and a block in leading Team USA to a 42.8 kill percent and .314 attack efficiency against the Egyptian defense. Libero Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) handled 19 digs in the match, along with a 62 positive percent on 32 service receptions. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) was a reserve off the bench adding five digs and 10 service receptions in the back row. Davis and Sykora are the only two players from the 2008 Olympic Games also part of the 12-player roster competing in Egypt. Middle blocker Emillie Toone (American Fork, Utah) added a block and setter Nicole Vargas (Seal Beach, Calif.) entered the match but did not score. For the complete press release, click here.

Team USA won the first match in four sets on April 10. Rubenstein charted her 16 points with 11 kills on 26 attempts and five aces on 19 errorless serves to go with five digs and a 46 percent positive service reception.

Vargas chipped in two kills and two blocks from her setter position. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) tallied 15 digs, while Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) added one in a limited role. McCutcheon started Vargas at setter, Crawford at opposite, Paolini and Barnes at middle blocker and Moore and Rubenstein at outside hitter. Davis served as the libero for the match.

Larson was named on 21 of the 33 ballots for Most Valuable Player, while Cassie Busse (Prior Lake, Minn.) was second in voting with five votes. In other awards, Jessica Jones earned the Leader in Blocks award. Along with Larson, Shonda Cole and Cassie Busse were selected to the six-player Offensive Team.
JOINES, RICHARDS UPDATE: Jennifer Joines (Milpitas, Calif.), a 2008 U.S. Olympian, and Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah), a 2008 U.S. Olympic Team alternate, are competing for Fakel in the Russian professional league this winter. Fakel ended the regular season with a 25-22, 18-25, 25-20, 25-15 victory over Universitet Belogorie on April 6. Richards scored 19 points, all on kills from 40 attacks. Joines sat out the match to rest her shoulder. Fakel will compete in the 9-12 playoff round April 14-17 at Moscow and April 24-27 at Chelyabinsk.
GLASS UPDATE: Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), a 2008 U.S. Olympian, is playing professionally in Russia with Universitet Belogorie. Her team, playing mainly its second team on April 6, lost a 25-22, 18-25, 25-20, 25-15 match to Fakel without Glass attending. Belogorie, which finished the regular season sixth after being in a tie for first midway through the regular season, will face third-seed Uralochka-NTMK on April 12, April 16 and April 19 in the playoffs.
HOOKER WINS USA TODAY HONOR: Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas), who trained with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team last spring, was named the USA Today Athlete of the Week for her performance at the Texas Relays.

Added to that, she then got engaged on the track's infield after her performance.
2009 PAN AMERICAN CUP POOLS SET: The Eighth Annual Women's Pan American Cup, hosted by USA Volleyball in Miami from June 26 to July 4, has grouped its 12 participating teams into two six-team pools. The nine-day Pan American Cup, which has three of the four 2008 Olympic Games semifinalists (Brazil, USA and Cuba), will be played on the campuses of the University of Miami and Florida International University. A total of 12 teams are scheduled to compete in the event, which serves as a qualifying event into the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix.

USAV, ANAHEIM MOVE FORWARD ON WOMEN'S TEAM RELOCATION: The Anaheim City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to authorize City staff to negotiate an agreement with USA Volleyball that would relocate the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team to train in Anaheim at the American Sports Centers as early as this spring. The vote is a step forward in the process that would move the U.S. Women's National Team to Anaheim from its current home at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Once the agreement is finalized, Anaheim would be designated the Official Host City for the U.S. Men's and Women's National Volleyball Teams through the 2016 Olympic Games. The American Sports Centers, which has been the training site of the U.S. Men's National Team since it moved to Anaheim in 2006, has agreed to host the U.S. Women's National Team as well. The facility, which opened in March of 2004, is the largest indoor court facility in the United States featuring 22 volleyball courts, 16 basketball courts and nine indoor soccer courts. Among the ASC's other tenants is the Southern California Volleyball Association, one of 40 regions within USA Volleyball. For the complete story, click here.

USA Volleyball's success on the Olympic grand stage in Beijing has never been achieved by any other nation since volleyball was added to the Olympics in 1964. The U.S. Olympic Men's Indoor Volleyball Team, which was named the United States Olympic Committee Team of the Month for August 2008, captured the gold medal at the Olympic Games without losing a single match. Women's Beach Volleyball (Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh) and Men's Beach Volleyball (Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers) both came back from Beijing with Olympic Games gold medals. The U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team captured the silver medal in Beijing, as did the U.S. Women's Sitting Team during the Paralympic Games. No other country has ever participated in the gold-medal match of all four Olympic Games volleyball disciplines during the same year. Team USA added a fifth gold-medal appearance at the Paralympic Games.

My first everyday driver.
By coil99 on Thursday, August 08, 2019bought with 279000 miles on it in August of 2017 High miles, but well maintained as it was a non emergency hospital shuttle bus and it was their job to keep it up. only issue I had with it semi consistently was the power steering. pump replacement, line replacement, loose bolts causing leaks. very frustrating, bust easy enough to tighten every now and again. I got about 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. My first car I owned and drove nearly everyday, as an 18 year old female. It was a head turner, especially when people saw I was a girl. getting pulled over a couple times was kinda funny cause the cops would always ask over and over again if the vehicle was really mine. I have slept in this van many times. camping, walmart parking lots etc... I have moved entire households worth of furniture in my van (taller roof, shell top version) in 1 or two trips. I love it, Only reason I do not drive this anymore is because of more hours at work and more need for longer drives- the mpg being the issue.

Thanks so much for submitting a report. It has been emailed to the Rum Captain and will be actioned shortly.

Please input the URL directly to the vendor page with the rum for sale and we will automatically show it on RumRatings
Thank-you for your submission. It will appear on the site once verified.
Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year rum is produced using a combination of rums aged on average 15 years and distilled from molasses using the solera process.
The Matusalem company was established in 1872 originally in Santiago de Cuba. The company fled the country following the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and the Gran Reserva rum is now produced in the Dominican Republic.

Starker rum .
Könnt vieleicht ein bischen mehr mild und süss sein .
Aroma sehr gut .
Mein lieblins rum für cocktails.
This one was a disapointment for me.. A bit overrated from my friends. The taste is to much ethanol for me.. And to thin. It almost feels like somebody thinned it out with pure alcohol. It tasted good in cola but for the hefty price i would prefer to drink it as a zipping rum.
It's important to know that this was the first rum produced to be a sipper.
The first rum to use solera aging system, previously used only in sherry and spanish brandy making.
This is an icon, a symbol of what rum is.
Can we find something better at the 30€ price? Yes we can.
But this is still a very good rum, balanced, nothing extraordinary but a flawless spirit.
One of my favorite things about Matusalem is how they enjoy reminding us of their great history, which begin in Cuba. They have awesome ads and really do a good job of getting you excited. Now, we all know, when these rum companies spend millions of dollars on advertising, that they are trying to over compensate for their lack of complexity / taste or they want us to know that their brand is for making frozen cocktails.
Matusalem is a stupendous, refined rum that is slightly above average sipper and mixer. It's beautiful in everyday - beautiful bottle, color, smell - but to be honest, I've used it more to spice up ice cream, milkshakes and cake, than make a cocktail out of it. At about $35 a pop, I'd personally still buy it because it's one of a kind: smooth, light, fragrant. I would recommend trying it as a digestif, instead of the typical port wine. But hey, if I could, I would replace every beverage with rum.
If this rum was a sound, imagine going into a small room with dirty beige walls.
You scream from the top of your lungs, and you expect the sound to reverberate and echo.
But nothing. No echo. The sound stops when you stop. And that's it.
That's this rum. It doesn't make a dent anywhere.
Too long ago to quite remember it, but I think it had too much of an ethanolic taste to me.
A little on the sweeter side but smooth and enjoyable to sip neat. I look forward to trying Matusalem's older siblings! If they are anywhere as good as the 15 year, I will be very pleased and impressed. Great representation of how tasty and popular rums hailing from the Dominican Republic really are!
Rum this complex should not be mixed and watered down, especially when their is a plethora of rums on the market geared towards mixing and at half the price or better.
I enjoy the smooth, sweet flavour of Matusalem. It seems to be quite underrated by most, it is not the most aromatic or filled with varying flavours as other rum of the same quality but it packs a nice taste with little bite.
If you're a fan of lighter bodied, yet deep, oaky tastes, this is imo the best dark rum/cost there is. Either poured on rocks or with a splash to 1:1 ratio with Coke, this rum defines the dark rum genre for me. Very tasty caramel/sugarcane front with a hefty rum burn to follow up. Delectable aftertaste leaves the palate asking for more. A must have in a collection.
very disappointed with this one, not cheap but not as good as the name, not complexe, short taste and thin, without any character, It tasted good but just sweet and annoying .. i won't buy it again
You definitely get hold of the toffee and creamy aroma which reminds of dark chocolate bar. Hint of smokiness and oaky.
Sweet spices once you sip in, creamy milk chocolate, light citrus mouth feel. Sort of reminds me of the sweetness of cognac.
Silky and medium finishing. Lightly smoked with dried apricot aftertaste.
I enjoy the smooth, sweet flavour of Matusalem. It seems to be quite underrated by most, it is not the most aromatic or filled with varying flavours as other rum of the same quality but it packs a nice taste with little bite
This is a good rum. I see lots of bad reviews, but for a 15yr rum this is nice. Drink it straight, mix it. Sip it. It works for everything.
Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-Year
Notation Personnel : 6/10
I like this rum, but it is a little to sweet. So one drink with this is enough
Good but a bit light and thin, remain good for the price and nice to sip. I come back to it regularly.
I love the Matusalem rums.
Nice sipping, not overly sweet.
If you like this try the 18yo for not much more money.
Hope to get the 23yo soon.
Lots of fruit on the nose, warm through the middle, with hints of oak
With that ambiguous age statement you straight away know that this rum is all about appearances and marketing. Sure the average age of the rums used is 15 years but what about the quantities? It is very cuban, light, sweet, lots of caramel, a bit boozy and a bit watery. Good as a mixer and fine if nothing else on hand but not your first choice.
Toto je rum, ktorý nejako nenadchne, ani väčšinu neurazí. Podľa mňa ale veľmi priemerné pitie, tvorcovia sa mohli viac vyhrať. Na prvý nádych, typická rumová, ale málo výrazná, nie príliž zaujímavá vôňa. Skrátka plochá. Môžete zacítiť stopy vanilky, hrozienok, citrusov. Vyvážené, ale nevýrazné. Pokiaľ rum nenecháte dlhšie postáť v pohári, po prvom ochutnaní zacítite veľa alkoholu, ktorý sa postupne vytráca. Mierne nasladlý na jazyku, postupne zhorkne, dlhší záver. Na to, aký má Matusalem silný marketing, rum je len priemerný. Ale s Colou a limetkou je v poriadku...=) Ani 23jka nie je nic extra. Ale to zas inokedy.
I don't get a huge nose, nice and even - almost basic. Taste is very mild, not much spice, smooth, butterscotch, oaky. Long tingly finish is nice. Great for beginners who like whiskey, little boring for more advanced.
Ein runder Ron
Sehr elegant und weich in der Nase, Karamell und Toffee.
Im Gaumen sehr angenehm süss, leider keine Ecken und Kanten
wirkt ein wenig zu rund geschliffen aber super lecker !
Ein Ron für Jeden und alle Tage !
A round Ron
Very elegant and soft in the nose, caramel and toffee.
In the palate very pleasant sweet, unfortunately no corners and edges
Looks a little too round but super delicious!
A Ron for everyone and every day !
Tried this rum at Paladar Latin Kitchen and Rum Bar, which has several locations in the US. I found the rum quite enjoyable and would not hesitate to purchase a bottle if I find it in PA. Somewhat sweet and quite smooth.
Aceptable, aunque considerando añejamiento y precio, hay opciones muy superiores. Sabor y aroma fuertes.
Il n'est pas mauvais....mais pas aussi bon que le nom ou la bouteille le laisse supposer.
Au nez on retrouve, comme pour beaucoup d'autres, des notes de vanille et avec un peu d'originalité des notes de noyau.
En bouche rien d'extraordinaire, le feu de l'alcool gâche un peu le plaisir.
Au final on s'ennuie... comme avec le Botran 15 ans.

For someone who has taken the onset of his forties as a signal to give up ("I know too much about life to have any optimism"), Louis CK – or at least the character he plays based on himself in FX's "Louie" – is oddly persistent.
He follows a young tough to Staten Island after the teen humiliates him in front of a date. He (somewhat creepily) trails home a pretty, much younger supermarket cashier who wants nothing to do with him. He relentlessly skewers an attractive heckler until the audience's discomfort far exceeds any irritation she might have caused him.
Persistence, even in these odd forms, has paid off: the first season of "Louie" ends Tuesday night having firmly established itself as one of the year's most compelling new programs, propelled by an odd mix of anger and exasperation that yields off-beat humor.
U.S. & World
While "Louie" has proven relatively consistent in its quality, the tone of the shows has been anything but – swinging wildly from surreal comic flights to awkward, cringe-inducing moments to mini-psychodramas.
One episode gave us an early Woody Allen-type fantasy in which a woman flees from Louie mid-date, making her escape in a waiting helicopter. He's had multiple strange encounters with men, including a southern sheriff who asks for a kiss and a dentist whose escapades are better left unrepeated. One moment, Louie is a sweet-in-his-own-way doting dad, the next he's telling his mother he doesn't love her.
The most recent episode shows Louie as a grade schooler during an extended flashback in which his religion teacher, a nun, recruits a doctor to describe in stark, clinical terms the excruciation Jesus experienced during the crucifixion. The doctor (who looks more like an undertaker) then commands little Louie to drive nails through a classmate's wrist.
The (hopefully) exaggerated look at Catholic guilt marked probably the oddest – and possibly the best – "Louie" episode yet. But there was little to laugh at, and the episode was all-but unrecognizable as the program that offered a hilarious early bit in which the comic scores with a 26-year-old turned on by older guys ("Your skin is all loose and a little dry. And you smell weird," she tells him).
We don't know which Louie we're getting week to week. That kind of unpredictability would be the death knell for many shows – particularly cookie-cutter sitcoms – but is a key element of the bluntly honest and often morose CK's twisted charm.
He may have professed to having given up on himself, but we haven't and neither has FX, which is bringing "Louie" back for at least one more season. We'll be back for more, hoping that unlike CK the man, "Louie" the show will age well.
