Tory announces plan for road tolls on Gardiner, DVP
TORONTO, Ont. — Toronto Mayor John Tory announced today at the Toronto Region Board of Trade that he is endorsing a plan to introduce road tolls on the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway.
Tory said a road toll of $2 on the highways would help the city generate an extra $200 million every year, while easing congestion and helping to build more transit projects.
"Tolls are paid in cities around the world," he assured.
The mayor has been questioned numerous times why he hasn't taken the money for transit elsewhere, like raising Toronto residents' property taxes instead of introducing a road toll.
"Property taxes were never meant to finance multi-billion dollar investments in transit and housing," he said in response, adding that the money generated by the tolls would be used for transit expansion and road repairs only.
"This is what the public wants done. This is the way we get there. Simply put, it's time to build it," he said in closing.
According to several news outlets, is estimated that close to 110,000 drivers use the DVP north of Bayview/Bloor and 228,000 drivers use the Gardiner east of Highway 427 each weekday.
Though details are still unclear about when and how the tolls would be imposed on the highway, a staff report filed in September 2015 proposed that drivers could pay a flat fee of $1.25-$3.25, or the roads could adopt a distance-based system where drivers pay between 10-35 cents per kilometer traveled. In both cases, the report stated that trucks would pay double the set amount.
Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca says that Tory would need the province's approval to go forward with road tolls. He said that he will review all plans put forward "very carefully."
In a release, the Ontario Trucking Association says its carrier members will not be receptive to paying a toll or fees to repair an existing essential roadway such as the Gardiner Expressway and DVP.
"We estimate the Ontario trucking industry pays over $1.2 billion a year in combined provincial diesel fuel taxes and driver/vehicle registration fees to the provincial government's coffers. Additionally, the industry adds about a billion dollars a year nationally to the federal governments' general revenues through the federal excise tax on diesel, with a significant share of that generated by Ontario's carriers," said OTA president Stephen Laskowski.
"The industry acknowledges these expressways are owned and operated by the City of Toronto, but governments at all levels need to understand that the road users' capacity to keep paying more in taxes and fees is reaching a critical point.
In a recent OTA survey, carrier members voiced strong opposition to paying a toll or other forms of fees to reconstruct the Gardiner/DVP. The industry was more inclined to support, as an alternative, an extension of the province's HoT lane concept on the expressways.
"OTA has long recognized that for new road infrastructure projects to materialize, the industry may have to examine and be willing to accept alternative financing mechanisms to achieve the benefits of new bridges and roadways," added Laskowski. "The Gardiner and DVP are not new. Their current state of disrepair and the lack of public funds to finance them is symbolic of how we as a nation have failed to implement and budget for future infrastructure requirements, which support every aspect of our economy."
The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada also expressed its disappointment with today's announcement.
"The PMTC, from the outset, has voiced their concern that road tolls, if they are to be used, should only be used to fund new infrastructure, today's announcement flies in the face of that view," explained PMTC president Mike Millian in a release. " The Gardiner and Don Valley, if tolled as Tory plans, will leave our members with having to absorb extra costs once again, with no available option to avoid these tolls. Unlike commuters, trucks can't simply choose to use public transit to avoid these extra costs. Trucks are not utilizing these roads as a choice, they simply have no choice. They must utilize these roads to get the products and services that are required delivered for the use of the consumer. Many of these products, such as medical supplies, home heat, food, to name just a few, are essential. These costs will ultimately have to passed on to consumers through increased prices to the essential products and services that are needed…As these new planned tolls must be approved by the Provincial Government, we are hopeful that Provincial Transport Minster Steven Del Duca will exercise his right to not approve these tolls."

Congratulations Mr Tory. You moron. You just added even more congestion to the already plugged solid 401. Where do you think all the trucks will go that currently split off and use the other route. When the 401 closes ( like it does for almost every accident now ) which way is the back up going to go to ease the back up. Truck rates doubled is ludicrous. Can't wait till YOUR local grocery or convenience store has empty shelves Can't happen soon enough. Get you head out of the sand and think of something else. Or how about this. People that use the TTC pay more for the service ?? If I use the 407 I don't see a check coming my way from any TTC ridership or anyone else to aid my form of travel. Nothing like turnin a city stuck in gridlock back another 30 years.
I don't think adding tolls are a good idea for he DVP or Gardiner. The Toronto area traffic infrastructure cannot handle the traffic now. If these are toll roads and people cannot afford to pay them every day does that mean that the main streets will see more traffic and congestion? Enough already, we paid for the 407 to be built and then sold it off for probably a lot less than it was worth. How are we supposed to live when everytime we turn around more of our income is taken from us. The tolls are a really bad idea and will just cause further problems.

This month's E-Bulletin topics include:
Are you paying attention to the details when it comes to disputing damages? Please be aware that damage disputes are eligible for arbitrator consideration only if presented in the Dispute Damages section of Online Filing.
The reason for the separate area is to make it easy for the arbitrator, and the Applicant, to recognize if the Respondent challenges the amount of damages paid. This format also enables arbitrator efficiency because, if the Applicant does not meet the preponderance of evidence standard to prove liability, the damages are simply not an issue.
Rule 2-5 specifies that damages arguments must be presented in the Dispute Damages section and that damages arguments entered elsewhere will not be considered by the arbitrator. Please note the Dispute Damages tab specifically includes a question to confirm if you are disputing the Applicant's damages. This question defaults to No unless you click the Dispute Damages tab and enter Yes. Present all damages arguments and disputed dollar amounts in the Dispute Damages section:
When filing or responding to a case, you must click "Finish" before you get the option to submit any evidence.
Once you have uploaded your evidence, be sure to go back to the docket details screen to review your case and verify that the PDFs for your evidence are correct and viewable.

I want to write a lengthy test. I would like to use the shared object to store the students' answers and then print out a hard copy for school records.
I would have about 20 students taking the test at a time on 20 different computers. I am thinking about using a different name for each .sol file and manually collecting the files into one file to be opened later and printed. Is there any way to open the .sol file outside of flash? I realize I could load the file in an swf and print, but this could be even more tedious than what I had hoped.
I am the only teacher pursuing this in my school and funding is very limited and my time to learn additional software is also very limited. Any suggestions???

There is no denying that whatever the Kardashian sisters do immediately becomes news. Recently, the sisters were in the news for a Calvin Klein ad campaign they appeared in together.
And admittedly, it is not often that we see the beautiful ladies photographed together.
But wait, what's that?
It looks like the new CK ad has suffered a MAJOR photoshop fail! And no, we are not talking about Kylie Jenner.
Do you see it yet?
One of the photos released as part of the ad show Kim Kardashian's arm oddly distorted! Now that's either Photoshop, or Kim has a terribly disfigured arm – we're going to go with the latter!
Kim's fans did immediately pick up on the Photoshopped arm.
"Nobody even seeing the awful Pohotshop of Kim's arm," one wrote, cringing.
Another commented on how this wasn't expected of a reputed brand like Calvin Klein, which is 'usually classy'.
Fans also criticizes the fact that it wasn't just the arm that looked weird; Kim Kardashian's face was also heavily edited in the photographs.
And it really does; we've seen thousands of photos of Kim Kardashian, and she looks nothing like herself in these photos, as she sports white underwear for the famous brand.
Kim's facial features are so heavily Photoshopped in the campaign that fans even think it is not Kim who is featured in the photos!
In a crazy fan theory, it is being stated that the CK ad actually features a double, who looks a huge lot like Kim herself.
"Is this a Kim Kardashian stunt double or really bad photoshop?" one wrote.
Why Kim herself didn't appear in the campaign with her sisters is unclear. However, there is no proof for this theory.
Fans are also enraged over the fact that it is not only Kim, but the other Kardashian sisters also look rather unreal in the images.
"This Photoshop is SO BAD – Khloe's like…floating in sapce and Kim's face looks almost unrecognizable?"
Another wrote: "Who are these people? Your Photoshop person needs to be fired or y'all are cloning."
It is indeed surprising that a reputed brand like Calvin Klein has released photos that are clearly edited and aren't even close to natural.
Well, it's not really uncommon for reputed names to create such blunders. Recently, Vanity Fair released a cover with awful Photoshop errors!
In the cover, the magazine accidentally gave Reese Witherpsoon three legs! What?!
They even gave Oprah three hands!
How did this even make past the editors?!
Related: Reese Witherspoon and Oprah make fun of their Photoshop Fails
Well, it looks like we really need to let go of all this crazy editing and intensive Photoshopping – especially when it's this obvious!
Is it okay to set these unrealistic beauty standards, using A-list celebrities like the Kardashians whom young people look up to? Let us know what you think!
We pay for videos too. Click here to upload yours.

Infosys, BP sign 5-yr deal; TechMa ties up with Bombardier
In a sign of an improving deal pipeline after Vishal Sikka took over as CEO, IT services major Infosys said on Thursday that it has signed a five-year contract with BP, one of its longstanding clients.business Updated: Sep 05, 2014 00:28 IST
In a sign of an improving deal pipeline after Vishal Sikka took over as CEO, IT services major Infosys said on Thursday that it has signed a five-year contract with BP, one of its longstanding clients.
Infosys will provide IT services, in particular application support and development to BP, said a release from the company.
However, the company has not revealed financial details of the deal though sources indicate it is valued at $500 million (Rs 3,020 crore). The agreement, which is effective from September 1, 2014, will provide IT services across BP's operations, including corporate functions, upstream and downstream segments, energy trading and marketing. The agreement's geographical scope includes BP's main facilities in Houston, Texas, and in the UK, as well as support in locations as diverse as Azerbaijan, Angola, Brazil and Singapore.
According to information technology market research firm IDC, Infosys is one of the top-rated IT services player in the oil and gas sector. "Professional services firms have made great strides in building their oil and gas–specific capabilities in the past two years. Infosys is one of those firms," said Jill Feblowitz, vice president, IDC Energy Insights, Oil and Gas.
Meanwhile, another major IT company, Tech Mahindra has signed a deal with Bombardier Aerospace. As part of this engagement, Tech Mahindra will provide engineering solutions to Bombardier, a release said. Tech Mahindra has been a partner for Bombardier for many years. The company said it plans to expand its workforce in Canada to 1,200 in five years with focus on local hiring.

Thus With A Kiss I Die
Written/Directed: Rob Roznowski
Costumes: Lucy Jane Wagenaar
Assistant Costume Designer: Angie Wendleburger
Environment Designers: Nicholas Zoia, T'nia Burse, Brandon Barker, Ketura Bradford, Savannah McComb, Michael Gault, Mike Merluzzi
Thus With A Kiss I Die was a huge undertaking. TWAKID was a long form improv immersive piece at Michigan State University. The show immersed the audience into Jekel University, a college down in the south in the 1950's. The Theatre department is closing and for the final show they bring in a Director from New York City. The director casts a white Juliet and Black Romeo, and chaos ensues. The audience is taken through several different points along the creation of the play throughout the entire building. It was a massive undertaking with a cast of over 40 with both a period costume and a Shakespeare costume.

Thank you for everything you've done.
Try disabling it and you'll see. 😛
He stops waving and motions his hands for you to "stop" when you get close enough. You won't see it if you blast past him at 150 though.
Yes, this was V1 handling. The cars had a little too much grip but the movement was extremely good.
No, it's not moot because it looked 95,000% better in DR1 before they ruined it. And who mentioned RBR?
It still doesn't look or feel even remotely realistic, so please stop praising it. You don't even need to look at a replay for 5 seconds before seeing that something is seriously wrong.
I've amused myself with the Ascona, Sierra, Fabia R5, Stratos, and the Delta S4 this weekend. I spanked one of my old PB's in NZ by a whooping 47 seconds!
Seems you do not understand how a rally sim should work. Complaining about tiny things that will most likely be fixed in future patches for the sole purpose of clinging onto a mediocre predecessor, I simply cannot see the point of. Why not focus on the actual problems, like the tarmac handling? I'd personally like to see them fixed before anything else. EDIT: Meh, whatever. Sorry for derailing your topic, but like I said... they won't add anything to DR1. They are done with it. I just think this suggestion is pointless because nothing will come of it.
Fine, it currently does one thing better than DR2, and that is the FFB. Which wasn't even there from the beginning, and will be fixed with a patch for DR2 anyway. And sorry, but they will not add anything to DR1 at this point. You'd have to ask a modder or something to help you. Codemasters are done with DR1.
My point is DR wasn't perfect when it was released. And then it was made even worse with the V2 physics update. And people still treat it like it was crapped out by God himself and proceeds to worship it. Well, it's **** alright. DR2 does everything better, simple as that.
DR1 didn't even have FFB when it was released. All it gave the drivers was resistance in the wheel - which was fixed in a later patch. I can imagine the same thing will happen to this title. DR2 kicks DR1's butt in every single aspect anyway. You need to take off your rosetinted glasses.
Monte is so much better than it was in DR.
Can I be a poop child too?
That would be because it's using the Mini Countryman sound from DR1, presumably also as a placeholder.

- Abstract
- The level of usability achieved by software tools is a key factor that determines their success and indeed uptake by end users. This paper describes a study that was undertaken to evaluate the usability of a prototype incident reporting software tool. The study involved novice end users completing a series of tasks using the software tool and then completing Ravden and Johnson's Human Computer Interaction (HCI) checklist. The findings identify aspects of the system that pose particular challenges for participants. Participants appeared to lack a clear understanding of the relationship between the information required from them, and the underpinning accident analysis method of the software tool. This is perhaps unsurprising, considering that most incident reporting systems do not include these functions. The findings indicate that the tool requires better levels of intuitiveness to assist users in complex tasks so the focus is on awareness of accident causation methods rather than task instructions. The implications for the design of incident reporting software tools are discussed. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.

Testimonies on a Council-initiated amendment to fund $3.8 million dollars to reimburse U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the funds used to acquire the mauka Sugar Mill parcel were considered during the April 5th Special Budget Committee meeting at Honolulu Hale. Mahalo to all residents who submitted testimony on this measure, and mahalo nui loa to those who attended the hearing to provide their oral testimony!
This appropriation was approved as part of Bill 14, CD1, which is scheduled to be voted on by the City Council on April 20th, 2016.After the Aiea Sugar Mill closed in 1998, Aiea Community Association has spearheaded efforts to create a community facility on its properties that will provide the community with a multi-generational gathering place for Aiea's residents and their children.
Currently, the Aiea Town Center plans call for the establishment of a community center on the Makai parcel, with a green area/park, and a senior rehabilitation or similar facility on the mauka parcel.
By reimbursing HUD for the use of its funds, the City administration and Aiea Community Association will have greater flexibility to develop community-oriented facilities without the constraints of HUD requirements for low-income housing.

Male Streaked Rosefinch
The managing director of Sakertours at present and a staff leader for Birdquest. I am a keen bird photographer and has travelled with a camera and a telescope in many countries of six continents. In the dawn of digital photography (2006) we have started the commercial hide-based bird photography in Europe. I was graduated of the University of Debrecen, Department of Ecology and continued my PhD studies in Ecology. My thesis work was on 'Mineral cycling guilds of aquatic birds' and the subject of my current PhD study is 'The impact of grazing on breeding shorebirds in Pannonic grasslands'. I have published several scientific papers and was a co-author of the handbook titled 'The Birds of the Hortobágy' and the 'Ecology and Management of the Soda Pans in the Carpathian Basin'. Now working on an even larger scale handbook, 'The Birds of the Carpathians'. This book will share all knowledge on this biogeographical region (in Eastern Europe), which is more or less the same area where Sakertours operates. I started birding at the age of 14. I was a member of the Hungarian Rarity Committee (1998-2008) and was the operator of the Hungarian Birdline in the late 1990s.

Elements Of Style
Gift Guide: For Guys
Guys can either be really easy to buy for or really hard. I have lots to buy for- husband, three brothers and the most impossible fella to buy for, my Dad-the Bermuda Triangle of gift giving (a straight, male designer who likes watching football and antiquing in equal measure…and has everything to boot). Here are some idea to help you find something good (or at least funny) for those dear men in our lives.
Guys and their gadgets…dress up that iPad of his with this tough but chic leather cover
If he likes a cocktail or three, this bar set is tough but lovely to look at- pair it with a nice bottle of his favorite spirits, like Pappy Von Winkles Bourbon Whiskey (I'm told it's the best)
Or perhaps your guy is more of a wine drinker, but wants to fit in with his beer guzzling friends? How about this "wine mug"?
I blogged about these before, but I still ADORE them. F.Rock crafts breifcases/messenger bags of suiting fabric and recycled leathers that you can buy ready made or custom make yourself!
I personally think everyone should read Jon Krakauer's book about Pat Tillman, but particularly men. It's an incredible story and every guy I know I've told to read it has loved it.
These pencils with quotes from Anchorman and The Office are so perfect for my husband…and probably yours too. I don;t KNOW a guy who doesn't like Will Ferrell or shoots a "that's what she said" every now and again. Awesome stocking stuffer!
Another great stocking stuffer that really is for you but helps him immensely are these "get the hint" stickers. So you won't end up faking a smile when you open an Xbox on Christmas morning (this happened to me).
Every guy needs a great blazer or two- I love this classic two button navy one from J.Crew – paired with jeans and a dress shirt it's perfection.
I keep trying to get my husband to wear a scarf. I managed to get him into cardigans this year (HUGE success) but the scarf is proving to be a tougher nut to crack. I love these plaid cashmere ones from Bonobos with adorable names. And just for inspiration- here's Jake in a scarf. See! So cute!
This cracked me up- a hankerchief made with some super silver lining that renders cell phones unable to receive calls or texts. So perfect for the guy who never gets off his phone.
These bottle openers are made from the parquet floors of either the Boston Garden or Madison Square GArden- a fun little thing to add to a guy's bar.
If he works out in ratty old shirts, treat him to an upgrade with this cool looking, more high tech Lululemon shirt so he can focus on getting that six pack for YOU. (And maybe convince him to try yoga- tell him Tom Brady does it.)
And this last little gift is just too perfect- a pizza saw to cut pizza with manly gusto. Hilarious.

Speculation appearing in the media and covered by the news source, the Evening Standard, infers that Chelsea are keen to bring, not one, but two Juventus players to the club before the summer transfer window closes.
The first is a striker who we've covered in a previous article, Click Here, Gonzalo Higuain, with it now being implied that Chelsea are set to meet with his brother Nicolas, who is his agent, today, to discuss a deal that would see a fee of £53 million involved for the acquisition of the 30-year-old striker.
A three-year-deal is also mentioned, a deal which would see the striker earn a cool £127,000 a week.
Comments left after our previous article Click Here, weren't too complimentary about a proposed deal for the player.
The second Juventus star our source suggests Chelsea are interested in is the defender Daniele Rugani, although information relating to the details of a proposed deal remain sketchy.
However, here at Vital Chelsea, we're intrigued to know whether the possible signing of Rugani would be better received than that of Higuain.
Please feel free to air your views on the subject matter in the comments facility beneath this article.

Yassine is turning out to be a NYC Girl after all. This girl can find her way around. She found a way to reach my place without my help. When she stood at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 14th Street, I saw her standing there and she said, "Man, I am ready to strip now!"
We chit-chatted for several hours before we strolled down to Ryan's Irish Pub on 2nd Avenue for Deaf Professional Happy Hour, it was fun and relaxing. Good to see some friends.
I ditched the GBNY this time around. I don't think I want to deal with hearing men for the time being. Just take a look at Tom Tricoli, SoapSucker and Captain-Obvious and by itself, it was enough to make me repel hearing guys.
Yassine pulled an antic on a hearing guy that I nearly pissed in my pants. A hearing guy hits on Yassine, and Yassine was quick to tell him that she's with me. Me? This hearing guy was obviously disappointed but stared at me as if I was so lucky to have her. I grimaced and pointed my finger at her for lying. She grabbed my finger and twisted it. I yelped like a kid in front of that hearing dude. That hearing dude is so hot but he was cool enough to give me a handshake and wished me the best.
Then we went to Urge. Web, me and Yassine had a good time, chatting about everything from A to Z. These gals charmed their ways around with a stripper or two. Apparently, someone else was so impressed with our having a good time and decided to buy us a round of drinks. I was delighted. About time someone who is hearing person is also NICE. I also saw a familiar gay blogger from NYC at Urge, he was hitting on an old geezer. More power to him -- but honey, don't do it in the bathroom, please. Do it in your bedroom, or that old geezer's bedroom.
Yassine is currently painting the town red with her boyfriend while I do some work at the office and home. I'm being pressured to meet friends and hang out at Webster Hall tonight but I dont know if I am in mood for that. In ASL, I say "SEE SEE".
Rosey, I had a discussion with a group of friends about your infamous Rosey antic. They absolutely loved and adored your antic but will they do it? Nah. Not me, but someday I might when I get annoyed, I will do it in an instant.
Tom Tricoli is at it again. Our emails has been bouncing off each other like a dodgeball. He always threw such hateful comments about deafness, appearances, intelligence and so on. I threw it back with his flaws. He has flaws such as too old, too ugly, too bitter, consummated with HIV thing, et al.
You know the rules, what you sow, you reap. He has been vicious so I had to defend who I am by throwing it back onto him. It is silly since he is much older than I am. Yet, he is still a bitter queen. Maybe that is why he has the virus to shake himself up and wake up.
It is getting old. To top it all, I'm sick of some hearing gay men in NYC for taking sides or kept silent when Tom Tricolithrew these uncalled comments on me, but slammed on me for throwing it back. It is getting silly and stupid. It is pretty childish, petty and immature.
And it is certainly cool to be Deaf and to be a cocksucker. Let alone combine two -- proud of it, honey. At least, I'm clean. Which I cannot say the same thing for you, Tom Tricoli! So to me, being the Deaf Cocksucker is no big deal to me, ye trollop dumbfuck.
Good thing, my life does not revolve on this blogging business. I have things to do but when I have the time, I shall blog. Some people like Tom does not. Tom, you apparently forgot to take extra anxiety pills again. Pop it up some today!

The Euro 2008 was exciting, great matches, entertaining football, drama and tenacity. It was one of the best international tournaments of the last years.
In my personal opinion the five best things of the tournaments were the following:
5) Netherlands in the first round: The Dutch started the tournament like super-men, trashing the Italians and French in spectacular matches which led one to think about their spectacular teams of the 1970's. It was a pity that they were unable to keep it up, but still, I loved seeing them, and look forward to see if they can do better in South Africa.
4) Russia: Welcome back to the Russians! Under Guus Hiddink and with some marvelous players the Russians showed that they were rightfully in the tournament. Look out for the Russians!
3) Austrian fans: In general the fans of Euro 2008 were great – although don't mind a handful of trouble-makers, a few petty nationalisms and high prices. But I liked the Austrian fans, who gave their otherwise petty national team excellent good-humoured support which surely gave the players and extra incentive.
2) Turkish tenacity: The "crazy" Turks showed how much it matters never to give up, and for that they gave us some memorable matches in Euro 2008: Their amazing come-back against the Czechs, the incredible last-second equalizer against Croatia, and their spirited fight against the Germans were all examples of good ole' fashioned spirit, and many teams could learn from this.
1) Spain: Spain were the best of the tournament, firstly because they finally managed to win a major tournament, and secondly because of how they did it; they played brilliantly.

Ann says this about herself and her quilt:
I started out at the tender age of 6 enrolling in a after school program in Philadelphia called Prints in Progress. Prints in Progress taught children silk-screen and surface design skills. I soon fell in love surface design and stayed with the program until I graduated from high school.
Naturally I went off to art school. There I discovered weaving and ended up with a major in it. The ironic part is that I did not learn how to sew until after I graduated and taught myself with the aid of many sewing books from the library and picking the brains of my coworkers at the fabric store I worked at. Eventually becoming a competent garment sewer.
While I was working in the fabric store I took a beginner's quilting class and discovered an interest in it. While not necessarily approaching quilting from a traditional angle, I find it another wonderful outlet for inspiration. The picture I am enclosing is of a quilt I recently finished on outer space. It was inspired by printed panels for a children's cloth book on the solar system that I found in a fabric store. It is machine pieced with hand applique and hand quilting and measures 36x32 inches.

This Ultimate Guide is a 6-part series of how to travel for free or almost free. Click any specific aspect to learn more. Each category shares more in-depth details about the topic.
- General Travel Tips
- Get Around: Free Transport
- Stay: Free Accommodation
- Eat: Free Food & Drinks
- Do: Free Activities
- Get Money: A Job
Travel For Free: Food & Drinks
Food can get really expensive if you are travelling in Europe or USA. But there are always ways to get food at a cheaper price or free!
Free Samples
- At weekend farmer's markets
- In supermarkets
- Companies promoting their products. In Liverpool Station in London, you usually find people giving out free samples of their items. I have gotten free protein balls, fresh organic kale, chocolates and other sweets. They are literally giving these high-quality products for free.
Closing Time
Closing time is a great way to get free food or extra food for free. Some items are perishable and shops are not allowed to sell them. Hence, the sell them for really cheap or give them away for free at night. Many bakeries sell their bread at half price at night and other give things away free. Learn how to get free bagels in New York!
Another way is to visit supermarkets before they are closing. They have discounts before they are closing. For instance, Tesco Supermarket in London reduce their items and you can almost get them for free. We bought a pound cake for 20 pence!
As silly as it sounds, it works. Food competitions are a way to get free meals. Finish your meal under a certain time and get that meal for free! You can visit many restaurants that offer them.
Restaurant with eating competitions in Singapore:
- Base Mega Tower Challenge in Ang Mo Kio. Finish the disk in 10 minutes.
- Lau Pa Sat satay challenge. If you can eat more than 150 satay sticks under 20 minutes, it is free.
- Southwest Tavern Suicide wings challenge. Finish the meal in 15 minutes.
- The beast burger challenge. Finish a 3.2kg burger.
Free Drinks
You can get free drinks in 3 ways:
- Either you apply to be a bartender or make friends with one. They can give you free drinks.
- Free drinks night! Ladies night is really common in Asia. Basically, ladies drink for free and enter the bar/clubs for free. Learn how to drink for free in Singapore and free alcohol on Thursdays in Hong Kong. Alternatively, go to a bar or club, flirt a little and see what you get!
- Some people use tinder to get free drinks and free food. You can do that if you have the guts. Tinder connects you with people and usually, you meet up for drinks or meals. Sometimes, you get more than just free drinks or free meals.
Fresh Wild Food
Growing On Trees
This might not fill you up, but it is free. Many countries grow edible produce in public. You can pick them and eat it. We went wild berries picking in Scotland and it was delicious! If you love lemons, lemons grow everywhere in Southern Cape (Africa) and the Mediterranean (Europe). Alternatively, if you are driving through farms, stop to ask the owners if you can pick a few of the fresh produce. If it is the harvesting season, they give fresh produce away if you ask nicely.
Living in the Sea
By the sea? Pick mussels, oysters and shells up to eat them! Adrien and I went to Tharon beach (France) to eat fresh oysters. If you are into fishing, my family went fishing in Fiji and had fresh fish for dinner. In New Zealand, you can find abalone too.
When we were in South Africa, we met a local who dives. We asked him if he could catch some lobster and abalone for us and he could! We had fresh seafood for dinner that day.
Farm Produce
Another way is to pick your own food. In Hong Kong, you have a strawberry farm where you pick them and buy them. You are given a basket and allowed to roam around the field to get strawberries. Of course, we ate tons of strawberries while picking them! You have strawberry farms in places like Oregon, USA and Dusseldorf, Germany too.
When we were in Dalat, Vietnam, we stayed on a farm. They had so many fresh organic produce! We could also roam around the farm to pick the fresh cherry tomatoes. We bought 4kg of cherry tomatoes in total because it was so delicious!
Dumpster Dive
Supermarkets throw out lots of food just because they are unable to sell them anymore. It is common in the USA and some parts of Europe. The food is still good and edible, but it is close to expiry and by law, they are not allowed to sell it. Hence, they throw the good food away.
So when it is late at night, people will go to the dumpster to dig for food. It is legal (except for trespassing property) and pretty clean. In Austria, we followed some friends to dumpster dive and found lots of food. There was fresh grapes, bread, chips, juices and more.
Buffet Meals
Some hotels allow you to take food away for free. Hotel Jen in Singapore allows you to bring food back to your room. You can bring some bread and snacks to keep you fill during the day. After all, you paid for the food in your accommodation price. I usually grab an apple and a banana because they have high energy and healthy too.
Birthday Special
Is it your birthday? Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you! Check where you are during your birthday and do the following at least 2 weeks before your birthday:
- Google "free birthday meals [THE CITY]"
- Find out what the city has to offer
- You usually have to sign up for their newsletters and they will give you a free gift for your birthday.
- 2 days before your birthday, you should have received the notifications of all the free items.
- Plan your day so that you get as much free food as possible!
Note: Birthday deals also extend to free services, free cosmetics and lots of random things. You have to find them.
Packed Lunch
Food at the airport is both disgusting and expensive. If you do not have lounge access, you should pack food for your trip. When I take a long trip on blablacar, I usually pack a sandwich for my journey.
Buy Water
Drink water. It is very important to be hydrated. Instead of buying bottled water everywhere I go, I just bring a water bottle and refill it when I travel. Airport tip: bring an empty water bottle to pass through security!
Tap water in various countries is also drinkable. Refill water in the toilet so you don't have to be buying water.
In restaurants, if they as you for still or sparkling water, ask for tap water instead. It is usually free.
One Dish, Two Meals
This is especially applicable for travel in the USA. Meal portions in the USA are huge, really huge. Either I split it with someone or I keep the other half for my next meal. For example in New York City, we really love Sylvia's fried chicken and waffles. But the portion was too huge so we shared one portion between two of us. It was just the right amount!

It's one of the most discussed topics in recent memory. How to save the healthcare crisis. While both political parties are squabbling over who's going to pay for what, I contest that we start asking better questions with regard to healthcare. First the bad news. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) predicts that if healthcare costs continues as it has the past 10 years at a rate of 6.7% we will be spending $4.3 trillion dollars per year on health care in America by the year 2017. That calculates to $49 million per hour or $133,000 per SECOND spent on health care! One quarter of which provides zero health benefit. This burden is unsustainable and it's bankrupting our nation, communities, and families.
It's interesting, if you google "health" on the internet you'll have over a billion pages respond back within a second. With all this information on health why are we so sick, tired and overweight?
Here's our present reality. Our so called "healthcare system" revolves around the treatment and management of sickness rather than care and maintenance of our mind, body and spirit. Although the USA is only 5% of the world's population, we ingest over 60% of the world's prescription drug supply. Crazy, isn't it? I would contest that "healthcare" is not the real issue here. We just have to many sick people.
Managing sickness is big business and accounts for nearly 20% of our GDP, leading all industrialized nations worldwide. If broken down that equates to almost $10,000 per every man, woman, and child annually. You might be saying to yourself right now, "I know I didn't spend $10,000 on healthcare last year". Actually you did. Twenty percent of all purchases you make have the cost built right into it. That $20 dinner you had last night at the restaurant has a $4 "healthcare" cost built right in. This 20% increase has affected every purchase. GM now spends more on "healthcare" for their employees and retirees than they do on steel to build the car! For a $30,000 car, that's $6,000 going towards healthcare costs. We all pay for this. These healthcare costs would be understandable if we had a healthy population but we don't. Presently the U.S. ranks 39th in health by the World Health Organization. Since it is a profit driven system not everyone is interested in making America a healthier place to live.
Now the good news. What I do realize by being a lifestyle doctor and chiropractor for more than 20 years is that the question is everything. I've always said the quality of one's life is directly related to the quality of the questions we ask about ourselves, our community and the world we live in. The question is everything. Here's the question. Why are we so sick and what is it going to take to get and be healthy?
I will expand on this topic in coming months but let's first define what is "health". Dorland's medical dictionary defines health as "a state of optimum physical, mental and social well-being not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." The next question is what governs the body to function optimally? We first must look at the master control system of the body. The nervous system. It reigns supreme in the control of all life. The nervous system controls and coordinates the function of every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies. It tells the stomach to digest, the heart to pump, coordinates movements, thinks, feels, creates and manages hormones etc. All the time, in every situation, no exceptions.
The next question to ponder is if your nervous system is functioning optimally? If you can't sleep properly, your energy is low, your hormones are out of balance or you have high blood pressure why is that? 'Why' is a much better question than 'what'. Until nerve function is assessed all other answers will be incomplete as a solution. "Why do I have high blood pressure?" is a much better question than "what pill do I take to lower it?" (this question I will follow up in the future articles).
Because the nervous system is located in your skull and spine, spinal care plays a significant role in the maintenance of overall health and well-being of our bodies. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only healthcare professionals to detect spinal stress creating a disturbance to the nervous system function. As such, chiropractors offer services that cannot be duplicated by other healthcare professionals and can play a major role in restoring human function physically, mentally and socially. The human body is amazing! If you take care of your nervous system, it will take care of you.
Your health is your responsibility. The more aware you are of what it takes to be healthy the greater chance you have of taking positive steps to achieve what you deserve. A greater quality of life!
In our next month's issue I'll discuss your lifestyle choices affects your health. See you next month.

MIAMI Press those in the Mets' dugout for their thoughts on Tuesday night's game, and perhaps you would hear some nitpicking here, some grousing there. But mostly you would hear praise, loads of it, for their 4-1 victory against the Florida Marlins.
The essential components a terrific start by Oliver Pérez, two superb innings of relief by Aaron Heilman and a pivotal two-run homer by Carlos Delgado vied for Manager Jerry Manuel's affection. One aspect stuck out above the rest, less than 48 hours before the trading deadline.
"What impressed me more than anything tonight was Heilman," Manuel said. "Responding to two days off, 57 pitches, and he looked like he really had dominant stuff tonight."
The bullpen has been alternately shaky and outstanding since the All-Star break. On Monday, it blew an eighth-inning lead by giving up five runs. It was in the same position Tuesday, but it did not crumble.
Heilman, given a chance to reclaim his eighth-inning role while Duaner Sánchez rebuilds his arm strength, escaped from a tense seventh, when he walked two. In the eighth, he struck out the first two hitters, Josh Willingham and Dan Uggla, allowed a single to Wes Helms, then struck out Cody Ross to preserve the 4-1 lead.
The victory helped the Mets maintain their half-game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East and increase the distance between them and the third-place Marlins to two games.
"You're always a little tentative after a couple days off of not being out there, but I felt good and was able to locate my pitches where I wanted to," said Heilman, who had not pitched since throwing three innings Saturday.
Manuel did not originally plan to let Heilman pitch two innings, but he was so impressed with the life and movement on his fastball and his slider, and with his command, that he left him in. That gave relievers like Joe Smith, Scott Schoeneweis and Sánchez a day off, and inspired renewed confidence from Manuel.
"He is one of those crossover guys we have in our bullpen, and when he comes with the stuff that he brought tonight, it makes him extremely valuable," Manuel said.
The Mets had entered the eighth leading by a run, having snapped a 1-1 tie on run-scoring single by Carlos Beltrán in the sixth. But it is seemingly impossible these days for Delgado to last an entire game without influencing the final score. In a measure of just how much his fortunes have changed, Delgado actually squared to bunt on the first pitch from Renyel Pinto, trying for a single against the shift.
"It all worked out at the end," Delgado said, chuckling.
He cranked a 2-2 pitch into the seats in right-center field, holding his hand aloft as he rounded the bases. The homer was his fifth in eight games.
Delgado is batting .372 this month, but three of his most meaningful hits have come against left-handed pitching: a game-winning two-run double off Philadelphia's J. C. Romero on Thursday, and a two-run homer Saturday off Cardinals reliever Ron Villone. And now this. It is a sign, he said, of his improved timing.
The Mets were heartened by seeing Pedro Martínez back in the clubhouse for the first time since last Wednesday, when he returned to the Dominican Republic after his father's death.
They were happy to learn that a magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed that John Maine, who left Monday's game with stiffness in his right shoulder, had a mild strain of his rotator cuff. Maine was to fly to Houston on Wednesday, and Manuel did not rule out the possibility of his starting against the Astros this weekend.
But they were also pleased to see Pérez continue his string of excellence. He scattered five hits while striking out five and walking three. In six starts since unveiling a new delivery June 29 against the Yankees, Pérez has allowed six earned runs in 39 2/3 innings, a 1.36 earned run average, pitching at least six innings each time.
The timing for him and the Mets could hardly be better. Pérez can be a free agent after this season, and his value continues to rise.
Pérez said he did not throw as hard as usual because he did not want to tire too easily in the hot and humid weather, so he expended that energy on spotting his pitches where he wanted.
As most teams do when facing Pérez, the Marlins stacked their order with right-handed hitters. Pérez, always lethal against left-handers, has improved his command of his backdoor slider to right-handed hitters, and he is comfortable throwing it for strike one, or after a steady stream of inside pitches.
After allowing a run in the first, Pérez hardly labored, pitching out of a two-on, one-out jam in the fifth by inducing a nifty 1-6-3 double play to end the threat.
Only three rotations began the day with a lower E.R.A. (4.02), and those teams Chicago, Arizona and Milwaukee currently hold playoff berths. Pérez has helped stabilize the Mets' rotation.
When Manuel took over as manager, he said that he would watch Pérez's starts from the top step of the dugout so he could, if needed, retrieve him that much quicker.
"I haven't been on the top step in a while with Ollie," Manuel said. "Ollie told me sit down and be quiet over there, so that's what I've been doing."

Remembering a marine accident, and why it matters
7 November 2013
Posted by: John Clarkson
On May 11, 1972, the British cargo and passenger vessel Royston Grange was headed to London, having just left Buenos Aires. Its refrigerated holds filled with a cargo of butter and beef, the vessel steamed down Río de la Plata, the river that forms the border between Argentina and Uruguay.
But shortly before 6 a.m., in dense fog, she collided with the Tien Chee, a Liberian registered tanker carrying 20 000 tons of crude oil.
The deadly result of a marine accident
The Tien Chee burst into flames immediately. Eight crew members died as a series of explosions rocked the vessel, which soon ran aground.
The Royston Grange fared even worse. A steamship's engine requires a constant feed of forced air, which is drawn from outside the ship via powerful vents. But with the atmosphere filled with fumes from the volatile crude oil, all it took was a single spark to cause an explosion. The resulting inferno, fueled by the burning cargo, killed all 74 people on board—many of them vaporized, or reduced to ash and bone by the searing heat.
A later investigation suggested that the collision was caused in part by what mariners call hydrodynamics, forces that result whenever two ships pass or meet in the confines of a narrow channel.
With the onset and magnitude of these forces hard to predict, navigation in confined spaces can become very tricky, very fast—with ships drawn toward each other, toward the bank, or even grounded on the bottom of a channel, sometimes with little warning.
Why this marine accident matters
But why does a 41-year old marine accident on another continent matter to the Transportation Safety Board, a body that wasn't even created until almost 20 years later?
Because shortly after the disaster, Uruguayan authorities asked the captain of the MV Amalric, a vessel bound for nearby Montevideo and that was only a few hours away, to board the Royston Grange and verify the state of the stricken hulk. To accompany him on this grisly task, the captain—my captain—selected a handful of crew members.
As a 19 year old cadet, I had been sailing for two years. Certainly, I'd never been exposed to tragedy on such a scale. But as I surveyed the scene, I couldn't help wondering what—and how and why—things had gone so horribly wrong.
Could this type of marine accident happen again?
Hydrodynamics are still a reality today. In recent years, the TSB has investigated several marine accidents, right here in Canada, where these forces have damaged or completely grounded vessels, often bringing vital traffic to a halt for hours or days at a time.
And as this summer's rail disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, made all too clear, shipping crude oil, no matter the method, carries risks that need to be accounted for, and which can sometimes prove fatal.
Fortunately, today's transportation companies operate differently than they did 40 years ago, and so the likelihood of this particular marine accident repeating itself is rare. Today's tankers, for instance, are built with double hulls when transporting crude oil, unlike the ill-fated Tien Chee. Vessels are almost never powered by steam, either. And all ocean-going ships are required to have a form of safety management that can help identify risks, so that steps can be taken before tragedy strikes.
Today, at the TSB, we continue to push for a safer transportation network, and we're ever vigilant about the risks identified by our investigations. When problems are uncovered, we say so—loud and clear. After all, it's not just cargo that could be at stake. There are lives to consider, too.
That's a powerful lesson, one we remind ourselves of daily, and one first learned by a 19 year-old cadet more than 40 years ago.
Mr. Clarkson has over four decades of experience in the marine industry and was appointed as a TSB Board Member in February 2012. He has captained tankers and holds a certificate of competency as Master Mariner from Canada and the U.K. He has sailed vessels across all five oceans and through the Northwest Passage, and he's never ever sick at sea. Well, hardly ever.

A Brief Biography of and Quotes from George Mueller
George Mueller (sometimes spelled Mϋller) was born in Kroppenstaedt, Germany on September 27, 1805. He died just short of the end of the nineteenth century on March 10, 1898, after spending most of his life in Bristol, England, where he pastored an unconventional church, founded The Scripture Knowledge Institute for Home and Abroad, and built five large orphan houses, which cared for more than 100,000 orphans throughout the years they were open.
Mueller's mother died when he was 14, and he spent a little time in jail at 16 for nonpayment of bills. He became a Christian in 1825 after a Bible study he attended with a friend.
When Mueller turned 70, he began missionary work, traveling to 42 countries, preaching nearly daily for the next 17 years. Even after he stopped traveling (in 1892 at age 87), he still continued preaching and working in the Institute until his death six years later, including leading a prayer meeting at his church the evening before his death.
George Mueller read the Bible through nearly 200 times throughout his lifetime. He prayed whenever the orphans needed anything and never asked anyone for money directly, and took no salary in his last 68 years, but his trust in God was complete and God was always sufficient – he never needed a loan and neither he nor the children ever went hungry. He prayed in what would now equal about $7.2 million dollars over the course of his years caring for orphans.
Mueller married twice: at 25, he married Mary Groves, who bore him four children, only one of which survived past infancy. Mueller married his second wife, Susannah Sangar, when he was 66, two years after the death of his wife Mary, to whom he'd been married for 39 years. Susannah died when Mueller was 90, after 23 years of marriage.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.
It is true that the faith which I am able to exercise is God's own gift. He alone supports it, and He alone can increase it. Moment by moment, I depend on Him. If I were left to myself, my faith would utterly fail.
The more I am in a position to be tried in faith with reference to my body, my family, my service for the Lord, my business, etc., the more shall I have opportunity of seeing God's help and deliverance; and every fresh instance, in which He helps and delivers me, will tend towards the increase of my faith.
Through faith in the Lord Jesus alone can we obtain forgiveness of our sins, and be at peace with God; but, believing in Jesus, we become, through this very faith, the children of God; have God as our Father, and may come to Him for all the temporal and spiritual blessings which we need.
Wherever God has given faith, it is given, among other reasons, for the very purpose of being tried.
Do but stand still in the hour of trial, and you will see the help of God, if you trust in Him. But there is so often a forsaking the ways of the Lord in the hour of trial, and thus the food of faith, the means whereby our faith may be increased, is lost.
To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.
Faith is the assurance that the thing which God has said in His word is true, and that God will act according to what He has said in His word… Faith is not a matter of impressions, nor of probabilities, nor of appearances.
Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends.
Never give up praying until the answer comes.
It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer.
The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.
The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great.
It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray; but we must pray patiently, believing, continue in prayer until we obtain an answer.
The Lord
The Lord, in His very love and faithfulness, will not, and cannot, let us go on in backsliding but He will visit us with stripes, to bring us back to Himself.
I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
The Lord never lays more on us, in the way of chastisement, than our state of heart makes needful; so that whilst He smites with the one hand, He supports with the other.
Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.
God judges what we give by what we keep.
Oh, how very kind and good my heavenly Father has been to me! I have no aches or pains, no rheumatism, and now in my ninety-third year I can do a day's work at the orphan houses with as much ease and comfort to myself as ever.
If the Lord fails me at this time, it will be the first time.
The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
How important it is to ascertain the will of God, before we undertake anything, because we are then not only blessed in our own souls, but also the work of our hands will prosper.
May those who enjoy the faithful ministry of the Word feel exceedingly thankful for it. There are few blessings on Earth greater for a believer; and yet the Lord is frequently obliged to teach us the value of this blessing by depriving us of it for a season.
The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.
Our walk counts far more than our talk, always!
There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes, and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.
