Yesterday, I didn't know I'd be here
My day was so peaceful and gay
I had no inkling of this moment
Oh, I long for my yesterday
Now, when I pause to think of it
How could you be so tricky?
If you'd warned me I'd be ready
For this moment in my today
Suddenly, I'm not where I used to be
Clearly, I'm not where I wanted to be
Where are you taking me today?
So punic you are my yesterday

Floating shelves can be used as an accessory stand in the bathrooms and bedrooms; you can also use it for displaying beautiful pieces of art or portraits in your living rooms. Some homemakers also use the floating shelves in the kitchen to stack the cutleries and plates beautifully.
There are several types of materials used for making floating shelves and the most popular ones are wood and glass. Wood is the most costly material, but it is very durable and looks great. The reclaimed wood floating shelves are a rising trend in the modern furniture category. Reclaimed wood is the timber derived from old and useless pieces of furniture.

The piece will be shipped to your doorstep, and all you need to do is install them into the wall. The only word of caution is to make a purchase from reputed online retailers.

Of grand scale and remarkable composition, Carlo Nicoli's Four Seasons are fine examples of the large-scale sculptures produced by celebrated North Italian sculptors and their workshops in the late 19th century. Nicoli's figures, wrapped in elaborate draperies and carrying attributes for their respective seasons – flowers for Spring, sheaves of corn for Summer, grapes for Fall and pinecones for Winter – at once reprise classical precedent and reinterpret them with the panache of a modern hand.
A native of Carrara, Carlo Nicoli studied in the Accademia and moved to Florence where he participated in the city's fine art exhibitions. Nicoli then returned to Carrara where he established a marble workshop, known as the Ditta Prof. Comm. Carlo Nicoli, a large studio in which he, his descendants and their assistants created a number of large-scale works for commissions in Italy and around the world as his renown quickly spread. Notable works by Nicoli include a monument to Garibaldi in the Piazza del Teatro in Carrara, figures of Queen Elizabeth for Brighton, Durban and Melbourne and several large-scale groups and ecclesiastical sculptures destined for Mexico.
In addition to the present lot, a small number of versions of Nicoli's Four Seasons are known: that shown at the 1875 Liverpool Autumn Exhibition of Modern Pictures (numbers 1081, 1083, 1097 and 1101); that from the family's property, the Villa Nicoli in Lugano and sold Sotheby's, London, 4 December 2013, lot 147 (£302,500); and that created for the façade of the Galleria Umberto I in Naples, part of a series of eighteen sculptures Nicoli produced for this grand shopping arcade constructed in the city's centre between 1887-90. In addition, the plaster models for the Four Seasons are today in the collections of the Nicoli Sculpture Studios in Carrara. The Neapolitan Four Seasons are still visible in situ on the façade of the Galleria Umberto I across from the city's Opera House and, like the present lot, are a fine testament to the sculptor's virtuoso skill and the grand ambitions of his age.

Pictured: A chunk of Tonoharu: Part One, page 83
This is the fifth post in a series describing the creative process behind my graphic novel Tonoharu. This installment, along with the one that proceeded it and the one that will follow it, deals with the design considerations. Those who haven't already are invited to read the previous entry before diving into this one.
Page Layout:
Many comic books feature elaborate page layouts with panels of all different sizes, weird "camera" angles, characters that jump out of the borders of the panels, and panels that bleed off the page. Pages laid out in this manner are more interesting to look at than conservative layouts, but are also more difficult to read.
Go to a bookstore and take a look inside a few of the prose books. Despite the fact that the cover designs run the gamut of aesthetics, the interior pages are all pretty much the same from book to book. Page after page of a conservative typeface printed in black, on top of white paper.
You spend hours looking at the inside of a book, and if that funky, eye-catching cover design carried over into the pages of the book, with different colors and words of all sizes, it would become grating pretty quickly. Readability isn't sexy, but it's important.
Maximizing readability was my primary consideration in creating the page layout of Tonoharu. I wanted the layout to fade into the background, and let the content take center stage. Since consistency is a critical component of readability, so I decided to base my panel layout on a grid, with each panel on every page being the same size and shape.
Choosing the number of panels per page was a balancing act between wanting to give each panel enough room to tell the story, and having enough panels per page so that a potential consumer would feel like they were getting enough "bang for their buck". I had already decided I wanted to keep the page size small, so I ultimately settled on a four panel grid. Six or eight panels per page would have been better from the "bang for your buck" perspective, but I felt that cramming in more panels just wouldn't give me enough space to show the Japanese landscape in the way I had envisioned.
In another nod to readability, I decided to forego putting borders around the panels and word balloons. I've always thought that those big black borders subtly draw attention away from where it should be: on the pictures and words. Doing away with them meant introducing a few more design challenges, which I'll write about next time.
Below are a couple of typical pages from Tonoharu: Part One. Click on each image to see an enlarged view:
One way or another, I'm going to wrap up my discussion of design in the next installment of Creating Tonoharu. Topics covered will be color & shading and typography. That will come on Friday, December 14th. For next Friday's entry, I want to write about something completely different, so if you're sick of all this design nonsense, check that out.

Archbeer.com is an independent informal site for beer enthusiasts, providing information on specific beer brands tested by guitarist Archaon of the Norwegian black metal band 1349.
Brownish-black coloured with a beautiful foamy hat. The nose is highly malty and the actual taste does of course not disappoint. Well-balanced is just the first letter- this is nothing but astonishing. Caramel, Norwegian brown goat cheese, rounded off with the elite of delicious honey. All around in the mouthful, it's just spreading like a virus throughout, escalating to culminate in a finish of long tasting toffee/lightly bitter climax.
With a colour as dark that one can't see through, one expects some heavy business… And it sure is. But especcially in the way, that the sharp taste of alcohol eventually shines through- Because it is draped in a great veil of sweetness and a taste similar to a weissbier (a dunkel one) with grand carbonization. Surprising in the way it takes turns, not in a negative way. As a matter of fact quite tasty for being as sharp as it is.
Deep roasted malts with hints of caramel. Dark brown in colour with a beautifully perfect head. It reveals itself gradually, starting off with a quick fresh intro (even though the texture is quite light, it's very powerful for the tastebuds) which evolves into roasted walnuts and sweetness- the malts herein are making this as significant as it is. After this, it goes into an interesting, mature bitterness, all topped with a dry finish.
Now we're talking belgian style! Quite dark for a Trappist to be, but well tasting. Almost like an angry Weissbier with a nice fruity, rounded body but slightly bitter- somehow this feels more balanced than the 0,33 cl version of the blue Chimay.

THE weekend double came like a breath of fresh air to in-form trainer Paul Nicholls.
After landing the main events at Wincanton, courtesy of Royal Auclair and Perouse, the West Country handler revealed both horses had undergone breathing operations on the same day during the summer.
With recent Aintree winner Farmer Jack - a leading fancy for Saturday's Paddy Power Gold Cup - also having had the windpipes cleared, it highlights the value of such surgery.
Intersky Falcon, owned by a syndicate managed by ex-Liverpool midfielder Terry McDermott, is another to have gone under the knife during the close season and should be noted on his return to action.
Royal Auclair, meanwhile, was ridden by 21-year-old Christian Williams to win the £80,000 Badger Ales Trophy, building a lead of about four lengths into the home straight and keeping on well to beat Gunther McBride by two lengths.
"I was going to go for the Becher Chase or the Hennessy but that has really made my mind up," said Nicholls, who will point the seven-year-old towards Newbury.
Rigmarole was sent off the 6-5 favourite to give the Nicholls stable a double in the totesport Elite Hurdle, but 12 months after flopping in the race, he trailed home sixth.
Instead it was Williams and Perouse, having set off at a good pace and never seeing a rival throughout, who combined to score, beating Howle Hill by seven lengths.
"I said to Christian: 'He's as fit as a flea - bounce him out and see what happens'," recalled Nicholls.
"The plan was to use this race as a prep for the Greatwood Hurdle this weekend at Cheltenham and that will still be the aim - it's just that he will have a 6lb penalty now"
Perouse's victory also sealed a £1,132,657 payout for a totescoop6 customer in a Manchester betting shop.
In Northern Ireland, Beef Or Salmon firmly established himself as one of the leading contenders for the Cheltenham Gold Cup when winning the James Nicholson Wine Merchant Champion Chase at Down Royal.
After his 3 1/2 length victory over Kicking King, William Hill cut him to 7-1 from 10s for the March showpiece.
Aintree is now firmly on the agenda for Garvivonnian after the gelding romped home in yesterday's Pierse Group Cork Grand National.
The 12-1 chance, ridden by Martin Ferris, held off Star Clipper by six lengths, with Fatherofthebride a further 20 behind in third.
Trainer Ned Mitchell will now aim the nine-year-old at the Troytown Chase in two weeks before preparing him for the Grand National.

January-February 2010 OF Remittances Reach US$2.8 Billion
Remittances from overseas Filipinos (OFs) coursed through banks posted a year-on-year growth of 7.1 percent to reach US$1.4 billion in February 2010. As a result, total remittances for the first two months of the year totaled US$2.8 billion, representing a growth of 7.8 percent, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. announced today. Remittances from sea-based and land-based workers for the two-month period registered increases of 13.4 percent and 6.4 percent, respectively.
The strong remittance flows during the two-month period were shored up mainly by the continued strong demand for professional and skilled Filipino overseas workers as global employment opportunities remained favorable, combined with the wider access to expanded money transfer services by OFs and their beneficiaries. These factors support the optimistic outlook for the sustained growth in remittances throughout the year.
Data obtained from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) indicated that the total number of deployed overseas workers for the full year 2009 posted a year-on-year growth of 15.1 percent to 1,422,586 from 1,236,013 in 2008. Of the total deployed overseas workers in 2009, more than three-fourths were land-based, of which about 68 percent were rehired workers. The number of rehired workers, which aggregated 742,447, rose by 24.3 percent as a result primarily of the government's job generation and facilitation programs to help displaced overseas workers find alternative jobs in emerging markets and in countries that are not severely affected by the global financial meltdown.
Meanwhile, with the stronger presence of bank and non-bank remittance service providers worldwide, the OF workers and their beneficiaries can expect fast and cost-effective money transfer services as well as other financial products that complement their saving and investment needs.
For the period January-February 2010, the major sources of remittances were the U.S., Canada, Saudi Arabia, Japan, U.K., Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Italy. Remittances from these countries accounted for the bulk (about 82 percent) of the total inflows reported by local banks.

Buying good-quality scopes for your AR15 doesn't mean that you have to burn a hole in your pocket. Expensive is not always the best, nor is it always the most suitable.
Scopes are generally used for long-range shooting and hunting. The essence of this article is to explain you the factors of choosing an appropriate scope for your AR15. We'll also talk about the best AR 15 scopes within the price range of 200 dollars. So let's begin.
Quick Comparison Chart of Best AR-15 Scopes Under $200
Our Rating
1. Vortex Optics Strikefire 2
2. Bushnell Optics Drop Zone 223
3. Simmons 8 Point 3-9x50 Scope
4. Nikon P-223 3-9x40 Scope
5. UTG 3-9x32 Bugbuster Scope
Can I Really Get A Good Scope Under $200
The answer is yes! Exorbitant price is not always a prerequisite for finding a good riflescope. It doesn't mean it's going to be the finest on the market, but it will do the job.
There are many factors to consider before buying a suitable riflescope. It is true that high-quality products are priced high, but it doesn't mean you can't find a decent product at a lower price.
Since you are reading this article, chances are that you need a good AR scope for hunting. Let's take a look at some factors which make a scope expensive and if they're worth it for your needs:
You really don't need a very complex scope for taking down deer at a range of probably less than 150 yards. Complex scopes tend to be a bit less durable. Moreover, they require special attention and extra care.
Magnifying Power
Scopes with higher magnification - once you get around 12x - are likely to cost much more. For scopes selling below $200, you'll have to compromise the upper range of the magnification power.
However, this depends on your needs. For deer hunting at a couple hundred yards, you really don't need a scope with power more than 10x for hunting deer. Sure, your optics will set you back more if you're hoping to target smaller animals or targets at a longer range.
Reticles or crosshairs are an important consideration when purchasing a scope. So obviously they don't fit in this budget range. While reticles can provide a lot of help for shooting, you can make do with the basics.
Features like thermal imaging or night vision can cost you an arm and a leg. That's going to be out of your budget. And while night shooting can bring its own thrills, it's not an area you'll be able to get a discount price for.
Apart from all this, there are several other factors to be considered before buying a scope. But you can rest assured because there are basic scopes that won't cost that much, and will still get the job done.
Will I Have To Settle For A Low-end Scope?
Objective Lens Size
To meet your budget, you'll have to compromise on the objective lens size. A large lens lets in more light which in turn produces a brighter and sharper image. It also carries a heftier price tag.
Focal Plane
First focal plane scopes are a bit costlier than second focal plane scopes. In FFP scopes the reticle grows along with the increasing magnification of the scope. But in an SFP scope, the reticle stays the same in size irrespective of the magnification. FFP scopes are more costly than SFP. So this means you'll almost certainly be looking at second focal plane scopes in this price range.
As already discussed, you will have to settle for the magnifying power of your scope. You cannot expect to get a good 12x plus scope with a price cap of $200
Advanced Reticles
There are many different types of reticles available in the market. They range from illuminated reticles, AOC, red dot, MARS, BDC, Duplex, Mil dots and more. Reticles are generally made from thin wires but some are etched on glass in some scopes. Those tend to be more expensive. With a $200 scope, you're not going to get tritium illumination and rangefinding, either.
Pros of Cheaper Scopes
It's clear that there are certain things you just have to sacrifice at this price level. But to make it more palatable, let's look at some positives of scopes within this range.
A small tube diameter means smaller components and a less bulky scope. Expensive scopes tend to have larger components and more functions which adds to their weight. It's not universally applicable, but it's a general principle, at least.
Wider Field of View
Lower magnification means a wider field of view. This means you can aim over your target substantially over long ranges with precision.
Quick Take - The Best AR-15 Scopes Under $200
These are our recommendations for the best scopes under $200 for the AR-15:
Reviews of the Best Scopes Under $200 for the AR-15
Now that we've given guidance on what you can get, let's get down to the specifics about some of the best rifle scopes under $200.
1. Vortex Optics Strikefire 2
This is probably the most feature-packed rifle scope for your AR-15 within the price range of $200. The scope has a red/green dot sight reticle with a 12-hour auto-shutdown feature to maximize battery life. The battery life can range from 300 - 6000 hours at max and minimum brightness settings, respectively.
The non-critical eye relief provides quick target acquisition. The scope is somewhat night vision compatible, complementary to several settings. The scope comes with a ⅓ co-witness cantilever mount for concurrent use of iron sights. The illuminated 4 MOA dot holds zero under the most rigorous use. If you need the best AR 15 scope for the money, this should be your first choice.
2. Bushnell Optics Drop Zone 223
Bushnell doesn't need an introduction when it comes to optics. This scope, as the name suggests, features a Drop Zone 223 reticle calibrated for 55-62 grain 5.56NATO & .223 REM with aiming points out to 500 yards.
The scope has a 3-9x magnification with a 40mm objective lens with fully multi-coated optics for a brighter image. The scope also has a wide field of view which lets you track and aim at your target and surroundings precisely.
The target turrets let you adjust the windage, elevation and MOA(¼) with acute measurements. The drop zone reticle prevents repetitive adjustments of the MOA values so you don't have to readjust the turret every now and then. This is one of our top three choices among the best AR 15 scopes under $200 outlined here.
3. Simmons 8 Point 3-9x50 Scope
A masterpiece from Simmons, this scope is an amazing choice for the money. The large 50mm objective lens lets more light into the scope, creating a brighter high-contrast image of the target.
The QTA eyepiece allows quick acquisition of the target. The 8Point truplex reticle helps in quick and precise aiming. The ¼ MOA audible click target turret adjustment stays locked tight to zero under the most strenuous shooting conditions. The scope is waterproof, fog-proof and recoil-proof with a long eye relief of 3.75 inches. The Simmons 8 Point rifle scope has an amazing set of features contrary to its price.
4. Nikon P-223 3-9x40 Scope
The Nikon P-223 features a BDC-600 reticle designed specifically keeping in mind the trajectory of the .223 and 5.56 cartridges. The 100-yard parallax setting removes parallax for precise long-range shooting.
The 3-9x magnification is optimum for shooting up to 500 yards. The scope is weather-proof. It's sealed with O-rings after being filled with nitrogen so the setup is completely shockproof. The tactical-style zero reset turrets help in zeroing in on the target quickly. It is also capable of maintaining zero, even with repeated heavy recoils.
Manufactured with high-grade polymer, the scope is sturdy enough. On top of that, the price of the Nikon P-223 scope makes it an apt choice for your AR 15 rifle.
5. UTG 3-9x32 Bugbuster Scope
The UTG Bugbuster scope features a 3-9x magnification range with a 32mm objective lens. This scope has a mil-dot reticle adjustment with 21 points to help you estimate the windage and elevation for the appropriate range without the need to use the turret adjustments.
It offers a parallax-free view from 3 yards to infinity. The scope has an RG(red-green) illumination feature for the reticle which can be used by turning the side focus-adjustment knob. That's quite a rare feature in this price range.
The Bugbuster also has 2" sunshade flip-open lens caps and detachable rings for quick and easy mounting. The UTG scope has an emerald coating for maximum light transmission thus providing a brighter image. The scope is waterproof, fog proof and shock proof.
With a plethora of good rifle scopes available in the market, you have a wide variety of competitively priced scopes to choose from. $200 is not a sufficient budget if you are looking for the best and most advanced scopes for your AR-15. But there are still a lot of options for that price which will get the job done.

RH-E exam > Search and Rescue dog Only Joy Bas Rouges de Lisica (F) Born: 01/04/2005 Owner : Scheucher-Leier (Austria)
Oriel did significantly better the second time.She was just as excited when we arrived with her tail wagging a mile a minute. Oriel was glowing - very excited to be back near the sheep. In the arena she improved a great deal and appeared to be trying to move the sheep, as well as, going after the "stray" and bringing it back to the others.
The trainer appeared to be impressed by how quickly she was learning.
The first few times is just familarizing the dog with the situation and I am certain it will take some time ....for both of us..... to learn to become proficient in the task(considering we are both city girls ).

Presenter Application: 2018 Engagement Symposium
Powerful Dialogue: Engaging Community Issues in Polarizing Times
It's time to share your community-engaged work with K-State and statewide partners! Bring your experience, innovations, and collaborations on April 12!
Each spring, the Center for Engagement and Community Development hosts a symposium around a community engaged scholarship (CES) issue. Some years, we focus on community-based, cross-disciplinary public issues such as food insecurity, public health, learning gardens, civility, or civic leadership. In those years, we explore K-State's interaction with the issue by examining our community partnerships. Other years, we focus on scholarly practices such as service learning pedagogy or community-action research, highlighting both the theory and practice of conducting CES. In 2018, we focus on dialogue and deliberation as foundations for addressing polarizing issues while doing community work.
We are looking for case studies, success stories and model practices illustrating how community voice can be harnessed and applied effectively to civic issues. Issues may include but are not restricted to: affordable housing, public health, racial justice, food access, heritage preservation, and environmental sustainability.
We seek presenters and co-presenters from student, faculty, staff, and off-campus community partners who can offer insight into their collaborative goals and strategies. In each session, we expect to learn how forms of dialogue and deliberation can improve mutual understanding, give voice to those impacted by policy, and motivate progress toward shared solutions.
Deadline for submission has been updated to March 1.

Bureaucracy and Regulation
San Francisco's public defecation problem is a symptom of its homelessness problem — a problem made far worse by government housing regulations.
Bureaucracy and RegulationLabor and WagesPoverty
An immigration system based on sponsorship, bonding, and a reduction in the use of public resources would allow the private sector to play a bigger role in which immigrants come here, and which ones stay.
Bureaucracy and RegulationLegal System
Contrary to myth, Latin America has relatively few civilian-owned guns — either legal or illegal. But this hasn't prevented enduring high rates of violent crime.
Bureaucracy and RegulationTaxes and Spending
"Economic development" schemes, like those used to attract big corporate headquarters to one's city, are really just a type of governmental central planning.
Big social media companies enjoy government protections while leveraging their privileges to push political agendas.
Bad ideas can spread more quickly than good ones, often because they sound so good until you spend some time thinking about them.
Clearly, the proposal for increased usage of E15 is a government subsidy to corn growers and the ethanol industry.
When the advocate for a new tariff or a new regulation says he's willing to pay a few bucks more for the "good" of society — what he really means is you should pay more, whether you like it or not.
This latest attack on corporate sovereignty will drive companies and jobs out of California.

High-deductible or "catastrophic" health plans offer real protection from health disasters. But most government-approved forms of health "insurance" are really just welfare programs in disguise.

Executive Search Process
HRGI taps into its nationwide network industry winners to help clubs find top executives and world class chefs -- Click here to find out more about the HRGI Executive Search Division
How Good is Your Food Service Program?
Written By Richard Furioni, Senior Vice President, The Hospitality Resource Group International
Are you satisfying your customers? Are all your internal controls in place? Is your staff well trained? Are you giving your customers value? These are critical questions all managers should be asking. The reason being that food and beverage programs, along with service issues, account for the greatest member dissatisfaction in the club industry
Food and Beverage programs are very complex. Purchasing, product preparation, presentation, serving and varying programs are but a few elements that contribute to a superior program and outstanding customer satisfaction. It takes constant supervision, at all levels, to insure that every element is being conducted properly. Proper training from senior management to bus persons is very important to insure that all personnel have the knowledge to perform all tasks in a superior fashion. In today's environment, no business will survive with average service. In order for service to be superior, all personnel must be trained to the highest level and training should be ongoing and enjoyable. With today's challenges and the increasing competition facing clubs, no club can be without exceptional service.
Proper internal controls, purchasing procedures, preparation and portion control are critical to insure that maximum revenue is realized. No one element can be overlooked without disastrous results. Many businesses have failed and many clubs have excessive losses because managers did not keep on top of the above functions.
We at The Hospitality Resource Group International have the expertise to evaluate your food and beverage program in both the front and back of the house. Subsequent comprehensive training programs for chefs, servers and supervisors will prove invaluable to your operation and your members.
Studies have proven that the dollars spent on analysis and training are dollars well spent. Too many clubs often shortchange training thus achieving very poor results. Investing in your staff is often the best investment you can make. By taking care of your employees, increasing their knowledge and improving their morale, they, in turn, will make your members and their guests experience that much more memorable. The end result being that you increase member loyalty while presenting a much more positive experience to potential new members, the lifeblood of almost every club.

Thanks to the ikeapunk, here's a good quiz for a Monday morning, when the brain is still in start-up mode and the coffee is just kicking in. Take your time with this one - and you may want to turn down your sound, at least after the first seven or eight hundred times of the loop.
March 2005 Archives
So we stayed up 'til midnight last night, listening to the final list of CBC's 50 Tracks feature.
In brief, the three-month feature asked several panels and then listeners to nominate and defend the top 50 quintessential Canadian singles of all time (or at least the last century).
We started listening around 7 o'clock, and got hooked...
This has nothing to do with the fact that the host is the eminently scrumptious Jian Ghomeshi. Just because he's smart, funny, musical, melifluous and generally yummy? Please. Give us some credit.
Besides, it was a radio broadcast.
Anyway, the final list is now available. There were a few surprises, not least of which for me was a total absence of April Wine. What about Just Between You and Me? For goodness sake, there's even a French bit. English Montreal was well-represented by the likes of Sam Roberts and Leonard Cohen, and thankfully abberations like Corey Hart and Gowan didn't make the list. There was no Pagliaro, however; in fact, the only franco on the list was the 40-year-old Gilles Vigneault single Mon Pays.
Also, while Gordon Lightfoot had two songs in the top ten (as did Joni Mitchell), personally I would have chosen If You Could Read My Mind instead of Early Morning Rain, but that's a matter of personal taste, I guess.
Another surprise was number 2 on the list - not that this song doesn't belong on the list. I was just surprised to see it at number 2, edging out American Woman, which frankly should have been number 1. American Woman not only rocks, it reflects a Canadian perspective lyrically, and not just by dropping place names.
Having said that, the song that did end up in the top position, while it might not reflect a quintessential Canadianness for me, certainly does separate the Canadians from the pretenders. I guessed it before the lovely Jian revealed it, and Dr. T, who was with me right up to that point, said, and I quote, "who?"
This is because the one track that, according to CBC voters, best represents the best of Canadian music is Ian & Sylvia's Four Strong Winds.
While Dr. T tried to figure out just who the heck these people were, I took a little trip down memory lane - I can remember watching Ian & Sylvia on TV. I remember when they broke up. I remember my mother, guitar in hand, singing Four Strong Winds, and it was beautiful.
Maybe the Guess Who put Canada on the map musically, but Ian & Sylvia are so very Canadian.

Update: Oddly enough, the spell with flikr thing seems to be making my page flikr. It was a lovely image, but an annoying side-effect. I left the link in, so you can go there yourself and spell to your heart's content (or any other phrase you prefer).
You would think that an entry of such historic significance would be more exciting.
Forty or so years from now, will we be surfing through a slew of websites with names like "Granny's Blog?" Will commenters have to gently tell posters "um, you've already told us this. Six times."?
When my grandmother was no longer able to live alone and we moved her into the 'Villa,' my dad mentioned the idea of a computer - we have friends and family across the country, and it might be nice for her to have e-mail capabilities. The answer was an emphatic "no." She has a phone, and a large TV, and her newspapers, so she's in touch.
My parents, on the other hand, are both computerized (I don't mean that they're robots. I have no proof of that.). So when the time comes that one or both of them need the kind of living arrangement that my grandmother has, I assume we're going to have to make sure there's a DSL connection in the room.
When it's my turn, my antique laptop computer will no doubt be a source of amusement for the strapping young orderlies, whom I'll probably bore to tears with my tales of yesteryear, when we thought OC-768 was the height of technology.
"It used to take upwards of five minutes to download a file that big, in my day. Now, about that sponge bath..."
So my office is very tidy.
My plants are watered and all dead leaves have been trimmed.
I have despammed my blog.
I have discovered that I am silver.
Now, I am seriously considering the following must-do projects:
1. update the blog template, cuz it's spring
2. clean up my blogroll, cuz some of those people never post anyway
3. come up with something pertinent and deep to add to the debate going on over at Martine's
4. clean my boots
5. create a list of all the little activities I engage in when I really should be marking essays.
One down...
Ag... Silver
You scored 45 Mass, 46 Electronegativity, 67 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!
Congratulations, you are one of the only things that can kill werewolves. In addition to that, you are socially-minded, constructive, and pretty hard to corrode. You, like iron, are a cornerstone of any collaborative effort. You tend to be a bit set in your ways, but you're also pretty good about sticking up for yourself. All this is well and good, but most people just like you because you're shiny.

You are 'juggling'. Jugglers, tumblers, and other street performers were a very popular sort of entertainment once, before movies and talkies and online quizzes supplanted them.
You like to put on a show for people, and they like to watch. You are friendly and well-liked, particularly for your sense of humor, although you sometimes play with people's heads. You are frequently the center of attention, and you like it that way. However, you have to realize that the world does not revolve around you. Furthermore, you have to learn that your light-hearted antics are not appropriate to all situations. Your problem is that juggling has been obsolete for a long time.
What obsolete skill are you?

It's obvious that Sam Roberts is a Montrealer, and there's no metaphorical or philosophical meaning to the lyric "and there's no road that's not a hard road to travel on."
True Montrealers are familiar with our annual pothole festival (Les nids de mars, perhaps?), featuring 'pockmarks' in the asphalt that are measured in feet, not inches - there are several reports in various forums of people sustaining damage to wheels, rims, tires and even axles.
According to CAA Quebec, this year may be the worst yet. As always, the CAA has a special section on potholes, including a form for reporting new hazardous holes - so far this year, with more than 1,000 holes reported, we're beating last year's number by a landslide. In fact, the roads are so bad this year that the CAA site started the pothole section a month early.
There is, in fact, no road that ain't a hard road to travel on.
Just in time to respond to Bruce's comment, this article, about the ruling from the Supreme Court which states that the colour ban on Quebec margarine stands.
The fourth journal assignment for the course I'm taking asks us to reflect on a teacher who acted as a mentor - we're supposed to think about what this person did, how we felt, and how we've grown as a result.
A few years ago at a one-day motivational teaching seminar, the group leader asked us all to imagine a dinner table, around which were the people who've most influenced our lives. He then asked 'how many of you had at least one teacher at the table?'
Everyone raised their hand - except me.
Maybe it's just a question of what you think a mentor is - for me, a mentor is someone who makes you feel as though s/he has taken a special interest in your development. While I've had many great teachers, for whom I am thankful, there is no one teacher that made me feel as though I was a special project, as it were.
After much soul searching, however, I came up with this reflection.

recent updates and changes
The Montrealer list continues to expand - so I've chunked it into an extended entry. Additions to the list are always welcome!
I've also updated the entry on the "I'm Julie" ad. Google has revealed that many bloggers and other online writers have responded to the ad - and the Gazoo, among others, has now pulled the ad.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
(please note, many of these apply specifically to anglo Montrealers (see point 4))
you pronounce it "Muntreal."
you have ever said anything like "I have to stop at the guichet before we get to the dep."
your only concern about jaywalking is getting a ticket.
you understand and frequently use terms like 'unilingual,' 'anglophone,' 'francophone,' and 'allophone.'
you agree that Montreal drivers are crazy, but you're secretly proud of their nerves of steel.
the most exciting thing about the South Shore is that you can turn right on a red.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

It's snowing now. It's been snowing pretty much non-stop since Saturday evening. The weather people are calling for somewhere between 20 and 30 centimetres* of snow in the current 24-hour period.
Any bets on how long before Canadian Tire sells out of snowshoes?
*That's 8 to 12 inches for the Imperialists.
Yes, today is International Women's Day - is that why the Gazette chose to run a quarter-page ad today, urging people to "ask your doctor" about weight-loss methods?
Not just any old weight-loss ad, either.
The first two lines of the ad are "I am Julie. Last night, I did a striptease for my husband."
Then comes the picture - a woman's body, from just below the waist to just above the knee, dressed in black garter belt and panties, turned slightly to one side.
Finally, the big question - "what would you do with a few less pounds?"
Where do I start?
On International Women's Day, here's an that takes up 25% of the page, in which (a) women's bodies are reduced to specific parts, and (b) women's body images are strictly understood in terms of women as sexual objects.
We've come a long way, baby.
The Gazette, and others like it, have pulled the ad in question due to generally negative reactions from readers. Although the ad does not specifically name a product, the ad comes from a pharmaceutical company, which cannot directly advertise a weight-loss medication, but can urge you to "ask your doctor" about "methods" for weight loss. Oh, and the medication in question is not just a weight-management drug, it's available through prescription only in cases of clinical obesity.
For balance, may I suggest Barbara's Story.
So Colin and I are both off this week - or rather, Colin is off, and I'm putting a lot of effort into my procrastination.
So far, our time has been spent riding the rails - Colin's fascination with the Metro has not waned since last year, although now he's added the Underground City to his list of must-have experiences. So we've walked the Underground City, we've shopped, we've been to the cinema (The Incredibles), and today - as per Colin's request - we're going to the museum of fine arts.
Colin says that he's been once, but he didn't get to see everything.
We also lunched with Dina and Bill, and Colin has already extracted a promise from me that we'll do that again next year. I assume he wants to relive...
The Duck Jokes
1. A duck walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist "Do you have any duck food?" The pharmacist says "No, sorry, no duck food." The next day, the duck comes back, and asks "Do you have any duck food?" The pharmacist says "No, as I said yesterday, no duck food." The next day, the duck comes back again, and asks "Do you have any duck food?" The pharmacist says "No, we have no duck food. I'm getting tired of you asking me for duck food everyday - if you do it again, I'll nail your feet to the floor, buddy." The next day, the duck comes back, and asks "Do you have any nails?" The pharmacist says "No, we don't carry nails." So the duck asks "Do you have any duck food?"
2. Different duck, different pharmacy - the ducks says to the pharmacist "Do you have any Chapstick?" The pharmacist says yes, so the duck says "Great - put it on my bill."
3. A man walks into a doctor's office. The man has a large duck perched on his head. The doctor says "What seems to be the problem, sir?" The duck says "Well, there's a guy on my ass."
4. (not a duck joke, but the one that made Colin laugh loudest) Two English muffins are in a toaster oven. The first muffin says "Wow, it's hot in here." The second muffin says "Oh my God! A talking muffin!"
Yes, I'd say the education of my son proceeds apace.
