Pep Boys Store #0375 3415 Grape Road Mishawaka, Indiana 46545 - attempted fraud
November 28, 2005
Pep Boys Store #0375 3415 Grape Road Mishawaka, Indiana 46545 This past Wednesday, My car, a 2003 Dodge Stratus, slid into a curb while pulling out of my apartment complex. Afterwards, I noticed the front end had a shimmy, so I made an appointment to take the car to Pep Boys #0375 on Grape Road in Mishawaka, Indiana on Saturday the 26th. Within 30 minutes, they determined that my car had a bent lower control arm on the front passenger side, which they could not price for me at that time because the part needed to be ordered from a Dodge dealer. This morning, I called the local Dodge dealer to get a price on the part, which was around $250. With labor, Pep Boys intended to charge me about $425 for this repair. I described to the service advisor at the dealer what had happened to my car and the symptoms, and he responded that there was no way that the control arm could be damaged and could I bring the car in for them to look at it. The Dodge technicians inspected my car and told me that there was NO damage to the control arm (or the front end in general) and that all I needed was a new wheel because it was bent from the collision; total cost of $182. They went on to say that the design of that part is to break, not bend; and that if it was damaged the car would be undrivable. I returned to Pep Boys and confronted them with what the Dodge dealer had reported and what they thought they were doing recommending a totally unneeded repair to me. The Service Manager, Bob, insisted that the dealer was incorrect in their analysis, my car was still damaged and that I "would come back and apologize" to him when I found out that "the dealer was wrong". The Assistant Manager, Brian, basically said that since they didnt actually do any work on my car that they hadnt done anything wrong. When I asked for a name and number for someone above store level to speak with, he refused and told me to go to pepboys.com and fill out a complaint form
there. I called Pep Boys corporate office and spoke to a Customer Relations representative who declared this a non-issue because they didnt do any actual work, and would have someone call me if I wanted. Now, in my eyes, telling a customer they need a totally unneeded $425 repair IS an issue since apparently either Pep Boys is running a repair scam or they have a technician who has no business working there. My belief is the former, rather than the latter; and Pep Boys seems to not care one bit that there was an attempted fraud on this. I have copies of the invoices both both Pep Boys and the dealer if you desire to see them. My car drives just fine now, and Pep Boys has lost a long-time customer. I have also filed complaints with the Indiana Attorney General's office and the local media. My desired response would include an admission of fraud and a written apology from Pep Boys, employment termination of the Service Manager and the technician who inspected my car, and financial punishment/reimbursement for my time and trouble.

SPOILER ALERT: This article examines David Cronenberg's new film, Cosmopolis, in great detail. Many of the movie's plot points are discussed. If you haven't seen it and want to experience all of the surprises in the theater firsthand, you should probably wait to read this. You've been warned.
Why has one of the best movies of the year gotten so many bad and iffy reviews, registering from lukewarm to hostile? It's well written, cast, directed, performed, sequenced, and shot, offering a lot to think about, if you're so inclined—the world, your place in it, etc.—and funny in its own weird and disturbing way, just like life. It achieves depth from its flatness, which is something very few filmmakers can manage. Then why such a lame response? When you consider that the director of Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg, is not without his fans and defenders, especially among reviewers, the question is even more perplexing. Or maybe not. The quote that kicks off this column is taken from the movie, and the book which it's more or less faithfully based on, the 2003 novel by Don DeLillo. It's one of the most memorable lines in Cosmopolis, either written or spoken, whether it reverberates from the page or the screen to your mind, and it's a possible clue to answering the question of why the movie hasn't been more favorably received.

A little late off the mark but I`ve installed on an older XP machine with Sage Line 50 already on it. During the install no warning was issued but as soon as it launched Instant Accounts detected "Data has been found from a previous version". Confirming that I wanted to import it then said "Unsupported version - Data cannot be converted" and promptly stalled leaving a splash screen. Rebooted and I can no longer access the older version of Sage Line 50.
Now restoring my Acronis Backup!

No previous versions of any Sage products on this machine. Installed no problem, set up my account in 5 minutes. Very slick.
One minor annoyance was that I did start off with trying the option to "Open Demo Data" which presents a dialog asking for a User Name & Password". Had to go to help which informs me that the default is "Manager" with a blank password.
Couldn`t this be skipped - after all it is demonstration data?

I am sure everyone would agree that the best way to cope with a behavior problem is to keep it from happening in the first place. If it doesn't occur, then it isn't a problem. Of course, you have to be realistic about the limits of your own crystal ball. After all, you are not all- seeing and all-knowing. You can't keep children happy or even placid all the time. For many problem situations that you can anticipate, though, there are things you can do that will help your child cope.
As with so many aspects of discipline, the first adjustment is yours, the parents'. The job of settling down an upset child is a lot easier if you can maintain your cool and think about the situation in a positive, constructive way. To do this, you have to understand that your child's tolerance for stimulation is different from other types of behavior problems. Your child is not just testing limits to learn the family rule system, your child is out of control. She can't regulate her behavior and she probably feels irritable as well. But she doesn't just need sympathy or "a little space.'' She needs someone who can give her some direction and supervision. She needs your help.
Often the distinction between overstimulation and willful limit testing is a difficult one to make. For one thing, if you miss all of the early warning signals and your child starts spiraling out of control, she is probably going to start acting out and testing all sorts of limits. Then when you try to intercede, she is more likely to be defiant and disobedient. As a parent of two small children, I have come across this situation many times. I have also encountered it professionally. So many times parents will say to me, "I can't tell whether she can't control herself or simply won't control herself. " For some reason the difference between 'can t and "won't" is important. Why?
Apparently the distinction is important because it legitimizes a specific emotional response from the parents. If your child really "can't" do something, then you sympathize, reassure, and make soft cooing noises. But if your child simply refuses to behave or willfully misbehaves, then you are right to be angry and increase your demands for compliance.
But the distinction between "can't" and "won't" is a false one. When your child is out of control, she simply isn't behaving. It is usually very difficult, if not impossible, to really understand how much is willful and how much is involuntary. Besides, when your child gets upset, your own emotional response is no longer important. Your child probably isn't going to pay attention to your feelings, since she is too caught up in her own. To get a child to attend to your feelings at this point, you would have to turn up your own speed and volume past the point of reason. So you yell, threaten, and perhaps swat your child in anger. Your child probably doesn't learn anything from this and feels angry at you, and you feel angry for losing control. This is why it is important to anticipate trouble spots or to respond to ticklish situations before the feelings get out of control.
But positive, constructive attitudes don't just happen—they need to be actively shaped and worked on. You have the great gifts of thought and language, and you need to consciously use these as instruments of self-control. Try to lead yourself through a mental process to construct a positive attitude:
1. Allow yourself to recognize potential problem situations. This will give you the chance to work on them while your child is still feeling relatively happy and receptive to your rational thinking.
2. Separate your problems from your child's problems. All of us are prone to stress either at certain points in our lives or in response to some situations. If you have had a bad day at work and find you are screaming at your five-year-old because his shoelace is untied, then you probably have some feelings of your own you need to take care of. For now, though, try to be as fair to yourself and your child as you can.
3. Focus in on the child's problem. What is likely to set your child off? Flow is he likely to go out of control?
4. Think about what your child needs to learn. You are now in a situation in which your child can learn some necessary skills for living. What is it you want to teach?
5. How can you help your child? This is a critical question, one you might allow yourself to keep in mind: "You are out of control, how can I help you?"
6. Always remember that your child is fortunate to have someone like you to teach him.

U-pick organic farms within SF Bay Area or reasonable driving distance?
- K K May 20, 2010 08:08 PM
Sorry if this was asked before.
I've found that Swanton Berry Farms in Davenport does a U-pick for strawberries, ollalies, blackberries (all organic).
Are there any others?
Any organic farms that do cherries and peaches in edition? Pickyourown.org doesn't mention if they are organic or not.
Any leads muchos appreciated!
Swanton Berry Farm
25 Swanton Rd, Davenport, CA 95017
There was an article in the Wed's SJ Mercury News Food & Wine section on cherries.
Brentwood Cherries:
Brentwood's U-Pick cherry season is scheduled to open May 22 @ Freitas Ranch (925-634-5461) & May 28 at Bacchini's Fruit Tree (925-634-3645) DC's Extraordinary Cherries (925-516-4495), & other area farms, but Call before you go.
For more Brentwood U-Pick farm details, visit www.harvest4you.com

2010 Walnut, Bl Brentwood, CA
re: K K
Does anyone have a sense of timing of cherry picking - i.e., how long the season will last? I would really like to go, but likely won't have time until after June 25 or so. I heard there are also good peaches in the Brentwood area, but it seems like June will definitely be too late for peaches.
re: Pandora
June should be fine for peaches (this year is might even be early for peaches), but too late for cherries. There's a chart showing generally what's available when on the http://www.harvest4you.com/ site under "calendar."
Here's the berry picking schedule for Webb Ranch in Portola Valley. Certified organic.
Webb Ranch
2720 Alpine Rd, Menlo Park, CA
Not sure if they are organic, but Senk Farms said they'd be doing pick your own strawberries around Memorial Day.

re: indigirl
You're welcome! I'm going tomorrow too! I also found Farmer's Daughter, which will have u-pick peaches later on this summer. They have other items too, but are closed this weekend for the holiday.
re: jenarch
arg! foiled again! I got that same message...
re: indigirl
I had a great time picking cherries in Brentwood about 3 or 4 years ago. The cherries were bursting with goodness and the color of syrah. I went again last year and came back with zero cherries. The bings I found at 2 different farms were all unripe and the color of maraschino cherries. Everyone else was gleefully picking pounds of cherries this color, but I was sad to see such good fruit picked before their time.
re: felice
Some friends went this last wkend & brought back delicious Bings; a little tart still, but more than good enough for me. They weren't organic though.
re: Tumkers
I passed it today on the way home from Stanford. Webb Ranch! It is not far from the linear accelerator. They are only open Fri, Sat, Sun and they charge three bucks per person entrance fee. (Booo!) CCOF and herbicide-free, pesticide-free organic. It maybe be hit or miss if they are truly open (close during hot spells) or if they have lots of berries. see map at:
I don't find Webb Ranch worth the effort. For the past few years, what is available are mostly berries and maybe some corn. The berries vines are picked over before the general public can get to them and what's left are small/under ripe and not really worth the effort. It is good for families on an outing as the farm is very children friend. I would drive further down to Swanton for berries; the strawberries are pretty good right now.
Webb Ranch
2720 Alpine Rd, Menlo Park, CA
If two or so hours from Oakland (Livingston, CA) is reasonable, here is a link to a post I did on the California board for a u-pick next weekend for cherries and blueberries:
Pease Ranch doesn't spray their cherries, so they could be considered uncertified organic. http://www.yelp.com/biz/pease-ranch-b...
Pease Ranch
25175 Marsh Creek Rd, Brentwood, CA 94513
re: KrazyDawg
Thanks for the post! I searched on eno farm and was interseted in going to pick their organic cherries. they have u-pick during this weekend 6/26-27. I am very attempting to check it out but the driving to brentwood is too long... we'll see. thanks again!
Went yesterday to pick organic Lapin & Rainier cherries at Enos Farm: http://www.enosfamilyfarms.com/U-Pick...
Small cute orchard, nice guy working there, tons of beautiful cherries just dripping off the trees. It's mostly Lapins w/ the Rainier trees mixed in. No ladders necessary. Go now!
Just got from a few hours ago from Pease Ranch and like the other posting said they do not spray. Cherries were great, people were super friendly and all at 2 bucks a pound. Don't know the name of the place, but the people at Pease Ranch recommended the people next door who sell U pick Organic Peaches and Nectarines. The Nectarines were not ready, but they had two kinds of White Peaches to pick... all organic. Would recommend as well.
I've made it to Swanton Berry Farms twice since posting, but have not done any cherry picking so far.
SBF is located in Davenport, but they lease some land in Coastways Ranch, right across Ano Nuevo State Park in Pescadero for growing U-pick strawberries (where everyone should be going). All organic, and $2.50 /lb. The quality so far has been inconsistent and the bigger and darker berries do not necessarilyi mean tastier (in fact some of the disfigured little runts happened to be some of the best tasting ones of the bunch). It's certainly great fun for families and kids, but there are better tasting (albeit more expensive) berries at your local farmers market (e.g. San Carlos or San Mateo).

NHL execs say Hall goes No. 1
|06.03.10 at 2:31 pm ET
To those who voted overwhelmingly in favor of Taylor Hall in our recent poll regarding which OHL star would be best for the Bruins, NHL.com has bad news for you. Adam Kimelman asked personnel executives from both an Eastern Conference team and a Western Conference team and both said that the Windsor left wing will be selected first overall by the Oilers, with Plymouth center Tyler Seguin falling to the Bruins at pick No. 2.
Writes Kimelman:
"Our scout from the East said Hall in Edmonton would evoke memories of the 1980s dynasty teams, while our scout in the West said Hall was just too good to pass on.
With Hall going first, both pegged Seguin going No. 2 to Boston. Our Western scout said Seguin would make Bruins fans forget all about Phil Kessel, who the club had to sacrifice to get this pick from the Toronto Maple Leafs."
What is just as interesting for fans looking at the draft as more than the first two picks is the fact that both executives have Hall's teammate, offensive defenseman Cam Fowler going third overall. With the Bruins talking trade with teams, it's not outside the realm of possibility that they could be considering moving up with the 15th overall pick in order to get potentially their best scoring defenseman since Sergei Gonchar.
NHL Central Scouting ranks Fowler as the fifth best prospect in this draft class, but more projections see him as the third overall pick to the Panthers with each passing day. Fowler had 55 points in in 2009-2010, his first season with the Spitfires.

The apartment was really good, nice bedroom with some sizes comfortable bed. The bathroom was small but sufficient and with window. Clean. The 'kitchen' was so so. The kitchen is very very small, no counter space, not even bread to cut. Fridge on 1 has so extremely chilled that the salad simply broken down. Everything was freezing cold. The couch in the living area was a joke. On the couch can not times two adults persons comfortable sit down! So the part of the room not sufficient especially in the autumn respectively spring, where one the evening from time to ... time in the room spend, since outside too cold. What also bothered us, was the terrace not right on the apartment, but it matched the description, therefore no downside. For ourselves, we simply stated, that it is very tedious the whole table-ware, food, drinks at every meal out-and then again reinzuschleppen. Pool clean, restaurant very good with great waiter. Location also great with a beautiful view. read hotel review

Activate! A Pre-General Assembly Event
Don't just learn about justice — do justice!
This one-day event for high school youth, offered immediately prior to General Assembly, gives a unique experience of interactive social justice education.
UUCSJ looks forward to offering the second annual Activate! prior to General Assembly in 2015 in Portland, Oregon. Check back in spring for more information.
Our day will begin by exploring systems of oppression and social change through a variety of interactive activities. We will then put our justice values into action by discussing workers' rights and the call to raise the minimum wage. The program will conclude by developing action plans to articulate and engage justice work during General Assembly and back at home. If you would like more information about the itinerary, email email@example.com.
If you're passionate about justice, if you want to make a change in your hometown, if you want to see what the UU College of Social Justice is all about — we hope you will join us.
Youth who attended high school (grades 9–12) during the 2013–2014 school year are invited to register.
If you are interested in making a larger commitment to workers' rights and the campaign to raise the minimum wage, UUSC will be offering fellowships. Simply fill out the UUSC Fellowship section on the application page.
Dates and Location
This program will take place from 10:00 – 4:00 on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 in The Grand Ballroom at The Providence Biltmore in Rhode Island. Registration begins at 9:30.
Lunch will be provided.
Cost: $18 per person. Cost includes lunch and all program materials.
Financial aid is available for those who cannot afford this fee. This assistance is available through the generosity of our donors, and is granted to registrants on a first-come, first-served basis.
Activate! And General Assembly
Registration for Activate! is separate from registration for General Assembly. Please be sure to register for GA before registering for Activate! If you do not plan to attend GA, please contact us.
For youth under age 18, we request that GA adult sponsors be present in Providence during Activate!. We will conclude in time for GA attendees to meet their sponsors at Youth Caucus Orientation on Wednesday afternoon. If this presents a problem for you, please contact us.
For more information about attending for GA as a youth, visit the UUA Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries' resources on GA Youth Caucus.
For more information about workers' rights and the call to raise the minimum wage, visit UUSC's Choose Compassionate Consumption page, and view the UUA-UUSC joint statement "Raising the Minimum Wage: A Moral Imperative."
Want to get started now? We recommend Behind the Kitchen Door by Saru Jayaraman, the UUA 2013–2014 Common Read.

Restaurants in Ampang – 104 Restaurants
Look Out Point
Romantic place to have a passion dinner with your "one"
Fish Farm Thai Restaurant
email2me posted www.foodpoi.com 675 Reviews
No one can rival them in prepare authentic Thai desserts. Most of them were prepared upon order and if possible, they prefer to use all Thai authentic ingredients. This will maintain the original taste of the dessert without being spoiled on its taste due to using localized ingredients.
Nong & Jimmy
Rustic, simple ambience, fairly fresh seafood, decent prices
Pohkemon posted pohkemonfooddiary.blogspot.com 141 ReviewsExceptional
Do you like Thai style BBQ seafood which is hot and spicy? If yes, then this is the right place for you. Nong and Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ is located at a humble housing area at Taman Cahaya, Ampang. The roadside stall not well decorate but the food serve here is really a thumb up even a lot claim they already not as good as last time.
Tamarind Springs
Authentic temptations from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam beckon. From subtle, delicately flavoured delights to distinctive dishes unique to their country of origin, you'll find dishes created by the royal family and those authentically from the humble homes of farmers. Prepared by award-winning Chef Somkhuan Wandee and presented in a fine-dining style, our serving style hence carries an interesting fusion of traditional cuisine and modern dining. The ambience is simply enchanting. Tamarind Springs is in a time and place of its very own.
marogal posted marogalfoodparadise.blogspot.com 108 ReviewsExceptional
Food wise is nice and it really looks quite a normal dishes. However, honestly the food here is very expensive. We are paying for the environment. Enjoy the ''out of city'' fresh air and its facing the green golf course. A good experience for relaxing.

Ampang Loke Yun Chicken Rice (安邦乐园鸡饭)
The chicken here is steamed and unlike some places where you'll get a chicken with a thick layer of skin & fat, Loke Yun uses very 'healthy' chicken. The layer of skin is very thin & the fat almost non existent. So health conscious diners will find this appealling.
Motormouth posted www.j2kfm.com 459 Reviews
I'd say. To me, Loke Yun projects a very positive image; serving good old Hainanese style of chicken rice in Ampang without compromising on the quality and portions, or falling prey to the lure of commercialization which leads to dilution of quality/values inevitably.
La Mexicana
li_ping posted www.tallpiscesgirl.com 23 ReviewsSuperb
We felt so honored to be able to meet the owner himself. The specialty of La Mexicana is its authenticity in serving Mexican food and they take pride in their fresh homemade ingredients.
Han Woo Ri Korean BBQ Restaurant
Pas De Nom posted chillout-soulout-freakout.blogspot.com 183 ReviewsExceptional
Japanese Cuisine is more concern on their freshness of their seafood while Korean restaurant is very depending to their own special recipe in their marinating sauce. As for this restaurant, they really do put a lot of effort in it. That is also why they always has a consistent crowd.

B Station
Cheryl Chan Photography posted www.cherylchanphotography.com 81 ReviewsSuperb
B station, a restaurant branding that once had 4 outlets is now focusing on the one and only at Ampang Korean Town in better control of quality and consistency. Amid other traditional Korean restaurants that serve BBQ, B station creates its own exclusive line of fusion and MSG-free healthy food. Teriyaki Chicken Hotdog RM12.50 An illustration on the wall that explained everything. For someone as particular as John, he makes sure he knows all the ingredients in producing the food. The best way to do this is perhaps to home-made everything, from bread to sausages. Yes, sausages of no chemicals, halal made only from chicken breast along with other herbs and spices. Soft home-made bread sliced open and in you go home-made sausages, top with generous (almost overflowing) amount of teriyaki chicken and onions, zigzagged with mustard sauce, then slit in few pieces of fresh cucumber and tomatoes at the sides. One cannot eat like a lady but with mouth wide open and chew on those different textures by this teriyaki chicken hotdog. I heard this is one of the bestseller and I'm not surprised.
Tamarind Hill
The restaurant is quite lovely. It seems to have retained that homey charm and relaxed ambience from its old location.

Saga Highland Steak Cafe
Cheryl Chan Photography posted www.cherylchanphotography.com 81 ReviewsExceptional
Sizzling Saga Combo Beef 傻瓜山铁板大虾牛扒 (RM28.80 Argentina) Argentina beef steak and 2 cheese-slice-covered big prawns on top of zigzag french fries and raw romaine lettuce. Drizzled with Suyvon's recommended Mongolia sauce out of 4 others: Garlic, BBQ, Black Pepper and Mushroom. They may want to consider the heat of sizzling plate for steak doneness as Daniel's choice of medium had turned into well done, though not to the extent of shoes leather. Carbonara Pasta 芝士奶油意粉 RM15.80 Spaghetti topped with processed crabsticks, canned button mushrooms, prawns, squids, mussel and romaine lettuce. I would say that this was a plate of catastrophe for carbonara lover. Instead of the typical creamy carbonara sauce, they offered chinese style sweet creamy butter sauce, sort of like 奶油鸡. It wasn't inviting at all with the cheapskate canned mushrooms and processed crabstick. (Don't get me wrong, they can be very tasty in mushroom soup and Subway seafood&crab but not here and not in this way.) It became my worst nightmare with the taste of Carnation condensed milk down my throat. I beg you, avoid this at all cost!

When Ken Taylor arrived in Iran for his first ambassadorial posting, he had no reason to expect anything but a serene time as a promoter of Canadian business and trade. Instead, he ran headlong into the Ayatollah Khomeini's Iranian Revolution.
"He drank like a fish." "The early bird gets the worm." "It's raining cats and dogs." "You can't get blood out of a stone." "As quick as a wink." "Six of one and half a dozen of the other." "There's many a true word said in jest." These, and many other expressions, colour our vernacular without our being aware that the satiric voice behind them belonged to Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a prominent Nova Scotian.
Haliburton was born on December 17, 1796 in Windsor, NS, the son of a judge and grandson of a lawyer. An upper crust Tory, he was also a successful lawyer and businessman and was appointed to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. He held office in England after his retirement from the bench. He was wealthy, respected and influential, but, despite his accomplishments, he was deeply frustrated.
Legend dictates that the games of the Olympiad owed their origin to the Theban hero Heracles who staged them to honour his grandfather Pelops. It was said of Heracles that while engaged in his 12 labours he brought back a twig of wild olive from the legendary land of Hyperboreans and planted it in Olympia. This was the tree whose branches served to crown the victors. If we look for more practical explanations, the Olympic Games more likely derived from funeral games held in honour of fallen heroes, like the one Achilles held for his friend Patroclus in Homer's Iliad.
George Orton is known as Canada's first Olympic gold medal winner. On the official Olympic Games website, there are two records concerning George Orton at the 1900 Paris Olympics. The records show that he won a bronze medal in the 400 m men's hurdles and a gold medal in the 3000 m steeplechase. The records note his country as Canada, making George Orton the first Canadian to win at the Olympic Games. The Canadian Olympic Association supports that record; it regards Orton as the first Canadian Olympic medalist. But Canada did not send a team to the Olympics in 1900; Canada had no Olympic team until 1904 at the St. Louis games. Orton, a student, competed as part of the University of Pennsylvania team. Because he was entered as an American athlete, it was not until years later that anyone even realized that a Canadian had won an Olympic competition.
"Throwing back his head he played for us, for the first time, the masterpiece of his genius – it was Calixa Lavallée; he played O Canada."
Naming a country is no small task. The name should evoke feelings of pride and strength and reflect the character of the land and its people. The explorer Jacques Cartier generally gets the credit for naming Canada; he documented the name in his journal, describing the "Kingdom of Canada" and noting that the entrance to the St. Lawrence River "is the way to and the beginning of…the route to Canada." However, the story of the country's naming is not his alone.
There were celebrations on July 1, 1867 for the new "Dominion of Canada," but neither the date, name nor designation were sure things a few months before.
Every year, French Canadians celebrate their cultural pride and heritage through parades and parties on June 24 marking, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. These festivities combine the ancient rites of the summer solstice with traditional celebrations in honour of the Patron Saint of French Canadians, Saint John the Baptist. How did Saint John come to be the patron saint of French Canada? The Canadian Encyclopedia offers some clues:
June 15 kicked off the city of Toronto's War of 1812 celebrations, with an abundance of free and lively events around town in conjunction with the Luminato Festival. The Canadian Encyclopedia attended a handful of events, one of which was a unique art installation called The Encampment at Fort York.
On September 13, 1811, Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost arrived at Quebec to take up the duties of Captain General and Governor-in-Chief of British North America. Prevost, an officer with considerable military and colonial experience, was appointed the task of readying British North America for a war with the United States.
The Prince Regent and the government gave Prevost specific guidance that limited his military and diplomatic authority. He could not undertake offensive action into the United States or declare war on his own. Most importantly, as Britain was pre-occupied with the war against Bonaparte, he could not expect any large-scale reinforcements.
On May 23, 1914, the ship Komagata Maru was turned away from a Vancouver harbour when it tried to land. Onboard were 376 South Asian immigrants from British India, veterans of the British Indian Army, who sought to make a life for themselves in the empire they had fought to defend. How wrong they were. Instead of a warm reception, the Komagata Maru was surrounded by Canadian immigration boats half a mile from shore and ordered to leave.

Research shows that the growth of ads revenue decelerated due to seasonal factors such as the Chinese New Year. However, compared to Q1 2011, ad revenue grew remarkably this year following the Spring Festival. Video websites expanded their revenue streams by introducing their videos via smart phones and gaming portals. Youku, for example, recently received a permit to introduce video services on mobile, and it has run a series of shows targeting mainstream Chinese, such as a talent contest to find China's next generation of entertainment stars. However, with newer players entering the space, online video providers will have to more aggressively focus on user needs to drive other revenue streams up. #china #video #internet #revenue #growth

I think that this corporate policy will have far more impact on your company
than on Microsoft. As more and more people and companies deploy XP2, it
makes me wonder if you should just consider leaving the Microsoft market
As to why it isn't on Windows Update... I would guess that is because not
everyone is running your software or software that is impacted by what you
are complaining about. I have been running XP2 on several machines for some
time now and have no issues with it on them. My work laptop isn't running
XP2 but that is simply because I am waiting for the corporate go ahead once
they finish regression testing all apps. I have a virtual machine on the
laptop running XP2 that I have been testing it with the corporate network
and everything seems to be fine there.
My question would be, did your app break only on the final release or did
you guys just ignore the public beta figuring you didn't need to test your
product because it was, IYO, MS's responsibility to make sure you worked
after the update? Does your company as a whole feel attempts at securing
machines shouldn't be attempted by Microsoft? I am curious what this says
about your company's take on security is.

One comment about XP2 - the company where I work (which produces security
networking appliances) has a corporate policy - we do not support XP2. Sales
hates this (because all the numbnuts out there are pulling SP2 down with
autoupdate and they have no clue what they have brought upon themselves) but
since M$ was so idiotic as to disable the network functionality that allows
reverse proxies to function properly (and I'm not talking about Juniper's
back door where they pipe things straight through) it basically makes my
company's (and every other company's) product break.
The really dumb part is that M$ has a patch for their misdeeds and a
knowledge base article and everything - but it's not incoroporated into
autoupdate. Wonder why they would not include that fix for SP2 in
autoupdate? Maybe they *want* to break other company's products?

To print cards through the short-run programs, all that's needed is a print-ready PDF built to the supplied guidelines. The customer then receives a digital proof and upon approval, the final product will ship within eight to 12 business days.
Standard orders are printed on gloss laminated PVC with the option of a two-track mag stripe. Additional services are available for personalization, packaging and shipping, providing the merchant with many customized possibilities for their gift or loyalty card needs.
"The integration of the short-run programs has expanded our ability to print small quantities of cards while maintaining very competitive prices," stated Eric Pohl, vice president of sales for Travel Tags. "With our streamlined process the short-run programs are ideal for merchants with a regional store footprint, seasonal promotions, or changeovers that require short turn times."
For over forty years, Travel Tags has held a passion for improving processes to maximize efficiencies while maintaining a high quality product for a variety of merchants, big and small. They do this by staying current on new technologies, developing applications, investing in new and improved equipment and listening to the needs of their customers.

Dove, Adidas and JetBlue get high marks for loyalty program satisfaction, according to a new report from Bond Brand Loyalty, which has changed its name from Maritz Loyalty Marketing. In its fourth-annual study of more than 6,000 consumers, the agency found that 69% of participants in loyalty programs are satisfied with them.
"There aren't too many brands without some sort of loyalty program in place," said Scott Robinson, consumer loyalty strategist at Bond.
Indeed, it appears that today's younger consumers have come to expect brands to offer incentive programs. Almost 30% of all studied said brand loyalty requires such a program. A CMO might react negatively to the news that only a third of customers were loyal to the brand, suggested Mr. Robinson. "The loyalty marketer would say, 'I'm getting my raise this year.' "
The number spikes to 37% when it comes to millennials surveyed for the study, who said they would not be loyal to a brand that doesn't have a strong loyalty program.
These millennials, defined in the study as 20-to-34-year-olds, alter their purchase behavior based on loyalty offerings, too. According to the study, 68% change when and where they make purchases to get loyalty rewards, and 60% will switch brands if incentivized.
On average, people are enrolled in 10.4 loyalty programs, according to Bond, yet they are only active in 70% of them.
People today are more leery of coughing up personal information to branded loyalty programs, said the report. Compared to 29% of consumers who said last year they weren't sure why programs require them to divulge personal data, 32% said the same this year.
"Willingness to share personal information is strongly correlated with trust," said the report, noting that "49% of members who strongly believed a program is trustworthy are willing to share information -- over three times the average."
Personal data uses deemed "cool" by those surveyed included discounts based on previous purchases, customized offers and invitations to events, and "online communities" related to the loyalty program.
Bond Brand Loyalty listed the top loyalty programs in a variety of categories. Here's who ranked No. 1 in each category, followed by the key driver of satisfaction in that category:
Consumer packaged goods:
Dove (total earning potential)
Dining/quick-service restaurants:
Papa John's PapaRewards (members were proud to be part of the program)
AMCStubs (total earning potential)
Payment Cards:
Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier (quality of rewards)
Kohl's Rewards (total earning potential)
Giant Eagle Fuelperks (ability to reach desired awards in timely manner)
RiteAid Wellness (total earning potential)
Adidas (total earning potential)
Verizon (members were proud to be part of the program)
Air Travel:
Jet Blue TrueBlue (quality or rewards)
Marriott Rewards (program is trustworthy)

"When Dr No was released, nobody thought that we were going to get 50 years of James Bond, never mind 23 movies"- Bond producer Michael G Wilson
And yet on a wet and miserable morning on November, press from around the world and countless numbers of fans viewing on the Internet and Sky Plus, gathered to hear them announce the 23rd movie in the Bond Franchise. A film which, as rumours predicted, will be called "Skyfall" I know, I know..doesn't exactly scream Bond film at me either, but you've got to admit, it is better than Quantum of Solace!
So, what other pieces of intel did the Skyfall team have to impart in this first briefing for 007's latest mission? Well..shooting begins TODAY,and not on Nov 7th as predicted. Apparently Bond will be visiting Whitehall, (hence the conference being held in a Central London hotel, rather than Pinewood) Pinewood, Scotland, Istanbul and Shanghai on his "journey".
Whilst in terms of casting; Albert Finney, Ben Wishaw and Ralph Fiennes WILL be joining the cast in, as yet unnamed roles. When asked about why their roles had not been named, the producers cryptically hinted that it could be, because fans ALREADY knew the names. Adding of course to the rumours that their could be appearances from younger, reinventions versions of classic Bond Villains.
Javier Bardem, who told reporters that one of his earliest cinema going memories was being taken to see a Bond film, will be as predicted, playing the as yet unnamed villain of the piece.
As for the girls. Naomie Harris will be playing a field agent called EVE. There was no mention of her rumoured portrayl of Miss Moneypenny, unless of course, MM has been rechristened from Jane to Eve for new movie? Either way, Eve sounds like my kinda girl, with Harris undergoing two months of training full of stunt driving and machine gun firing for the part!
French actress Berenice Marlohe will be playing a mysterious and enigmatic character called Severin. Which immediately caused some journalists to question whether the plot will mirror that of the latest Bond novel Carte Blanche, what with the names of the heroines being so similiar. But according to producers Skyfall is it's a seperate Bond story, with no connection to any Fleming story or, the previous two films. Meaning that the Quantum plot line that ran through CR and QOS is on ice. Something I have to admit, I'm not to sorry about, as it seemed to have lost it's way in QOS.
In another cryptic comment Barbara Broccoli revealed that the title Skyfall, has an "emotional significance to an event that happens near the end of the film." Nope I have no idea either, but I can't wait to find out!
Now I have to admit, that when I heard Sam Mendes was directing this latest Bond film I was a little bit worried. As whilst he is a brilliant director, he is not really known for his action pieces. And Bond really is as much about the action as the drama. But fear not Bond fans. It seems Mr M knows his limitations, as he said that whilst the final decisions will be his, and that the action will have to compliment the drama going on around it, he will be taking the advice and guidance of his second unit director, who is very well versed in action and willing to help him through the 'new world' of action set pieces.
And too finish this little scribble, before I head off to calm down a bit and chew over this mornings excitement alongside my lunch. Two revelations that had me squealing happily. When asked whether my James…I mean Daniel Craig would be doing another Bond film after this one..he is contracted for three, with an option on a fourth..Barbara Broccoli proclaimed " Definately" Whilst DCraig merely answered;
"If I can do this for a few more years, I'll be happy"
Er..so will we Daniel love, so will we!! And not only because he will be taking his shirt off in this one…it's official, he will…Barbara B said so…and..and..be still my heart, as Michael G Wilson chipped in "If Barbara has her way, it'll be more than just his shirt" I shall be passing round the collection hat for the very large present we ladies will be sending Miss Brocoli Lol..
I hope Daniel Craig stays on for at least one more Bond film because, apart from looking amazing in a tux and swim trunks…he is a damn fine actor, who really does convey both Bond's often animalistic and unpredictable physicality, and his inner conflict at trying to balance the mental and emotional demands of his job exceptionally well. With Craig's Bond, you can see in those blue eyes a man who wants to do his job, who wants to protect Queen and Country, but who also wants a chance at being considered as more than a 'blunt instrument' as M once called him. So that he can cling onto a small part of James Bond the man, rather than just becoming another killing machine.
Okay, I'll stop now..anyway, thanks for reading this little ramble. Apologies for any errant comma's etc, but excitement, lack of time and images of Bond can do that to a girl! Right..that's me back off to BondGirl training camp for #bond24!!

Toys Donated In Memory Of Lane Goodwin [PHOTOS]
I think it's safe to say that people all over the country were extremely touched by the life of Lane Goodwin. We all watched he and his family fight the monster of childhood cancer. We celebrated during the good days and our hearts were broken when he passed away in October.
In lieu of flowers or a balloon release, the family requested sentiments be in the form of gift cards to certain stores. They planned to purchase toys for the children being treated at the Vanderbilt Children's Oncology Clinic. A few weeks ago... that's just what they did!

Had Sprint for 15 years and never really had reception problems until they switched to the LTE network. My wife and I have unlimited data and can barely use it in the City. Maps are slow if you can get them to work at all. Rarely get reliable email. About half the time we can't use online services to check bus times. Twitter barely ever loads. If I'm standing side by side with two phones from other providers I will always be the last to load anything. And it's effing expensive! Waiting out our current contract then we're done. Don't get Sprint service if you live in the City.Was this review helpful to you?
Dropped calls, missed calls, poor reception. Makes the phone not all that useful...Was this review helpful to you?
Bad voice connection in our own backyard, as well as front room. Even worse is the internet which cuts out multiple times per hour. 9 technicians to the house in 2 years. 9 new modems. Would never go with this company again.Was this review helpful to you?
Worst customer service I've ever experienced in my entire life, which is especially wonderful when dropped calls, inexplicable data drainage, and texting delays are standard and to be expected. What am I paying for again???Was this review helpful to you?
Went there to buy phone,and these jerks added a home phone service on my plan,i tried to return phone and they charged me 35$ restocking fee plus 35$ fee on the hm phone service..well these jerks told me that the refund that was suppose to be returned to me on my card cannot be accepted for restock fee,so I had to pay out of pocket,and with all said and dont I could not even return the phone.anyone who goes with Sprint better rethink there network sucks,there are alot better ones out there.ALSO TO ADD<<<< THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A SCALE OF 0 TO 10 I WOULD RATE THEM A 0 BECAUSE CUSTOMERS ALWAYS COMES FIRST NOT THEM.Was this review helpful to you?
I have had Sprint for 14 years with no problems, but suddenly this summer cannot use the phone on the first floor of my house and almost never get 5 bar reception in San Francisco. What has happened? Did they lose a tower?Was this review helpful to you?
I've had Sprint for 16 years. Reception has been excellent until the last 6 months or so. Now, service is horrible. I keep getting dropped calls and call failures and calls that won't even connect. I've called Sprint on this 5 times in the last 3 months. It's like everyone has said, they're working on upgrading the towers. It's frustrating. The tower I use is only 2 blocks away at Fell and Laguna. They, why is service so bad?Was this review helpful to you?
have to walk multiple blocks down to the panhandle. Have zero reception in apartment or on height.Was this review helpful to you?
I have lost job interviews due to not having any cell reception at all. Not even bad, because that would give the perception that you can send texts or a call. Once I leave my area I am bombarding with 10 new messages / missed calls. I went to the store, they knowingly tell me service is bad yet they charge me the same amount where others actually can use there services. I will be switching to Verizon due to their lack of coverage and the lack of ability to facilitate the issue - I.E. "you can buy a microcell for 200" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! how about you give me the microcell as I have been a customer for 10 years and dishing out cash to you. But no, "we cant do that, even though you pay for a service we cant provide" Overall HORRIBLE experienceWas this review helpful to you?
Poorest reception in this area results in continually dropped calls, inability to initiate a call. Constant roaming results in drained charge within three (3) hours; requires phone to be connected to charger while at work.Was this review helpful to you?
The Worst data. Even it's has 4-5 bars and the data never connects. Always server Error appears on my ipad.Was this review helpful to you?
Cannot send or receive calls, cannot send or receive text messages. Phone will show one or two bars and "3G " or Edge (the little circle. This has already placed me in a difficult situation, cannot imagine if it was an emergency. FYI... AT&T cellular signal works perfectly... go figure.Was this review helpful to you?
3G data reception around Church and 30th as well as Church and 24th has been terrible for years. Underground in BART 3G reception is good between 16th and Mission and Glen Park. Along the Market St.corridor, however, 3G can be nonexistent if there are any crowds at all at the stations and in the trains; often I lose 3G entirely there. Call Sprint to talk about this and they say they're working on fixing it. They have been saying that for years. I'm done with them.Was this review helpful to you?
I have found Sprint to be the most reliable but not the fastest network. I have had both ATT and Verizon and have to be at the front of the building to make a call but Sprint works no problem throughout with 3 bars. Sprint Lacks good LTE coverage everywhere.Was this review helpful to you?
I dma Google maps e from SFO to Ukiah and had very little reception the whole time. My Google maps had a lot of trouble. I could not send texts or make calls at all for much of the way.Was this review helpful to you?
Sprint reception is horrible here. we have always had trouble with reception here with every carrier though...Was this review helpful to you?
The coverage in San Francisco is great with a few exceptions. Inside buildings with thick or concrete walls, reception greatly diminishes. The city is mostly covered with LTE and you do fall back on 4G HSPA+ which is still speedy fast.Was this review helpful to you?
Sprint has the worst coverage, and the worst customer service to deal with the fact that their network is sub-par. Sold as a competitor to other networks, I was deceived and wound up in a two year contract of poor service. I would not recommend Sprint to anyone.Was this review helpful to you?
Walking around the Lower Haight the signal is mostly weak; unable to update weather; cannot use GPS, No Data; calls are constantly dropped. I also live in the Lower Haight and I used to receive a strong signal in my apartment, now I barely have a signal. Since my contract is over I'm switching carriers. Bye Bye sprint.Was this review helpful to you?
I was with Sprint since late 90s, and their voice and data service has dropped to terrible in last two years. Sprint no longer provides dependable mobile phone services for San Francisco Market! The only thing dependable about Sprint that you can count on is having continuous dropped calls and non working GPS if using your phone while driving in and out of City. What's worse is that Sprint customer service, field service and Executive Office escalations will tell you they apologize, they'll research and then do nothing. If they call or email back, they have no remedy to offer... they just recite the same empty script. Sprint makes Smartphones Dumb!Was this review helpful to you?

Insider knowledge: J&B Minus Six whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be J&B Minus Six whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
The nose is quite light and subtle. There are notes of fruit, particularly crisp tree fruit. The barley notes are present and there is a touch of oak. The palate is light and subdued. There are some spirity notes, hints of barley and toffee apple, a caramel note and a touch of smoke. The finish is of medium-length with a touch of oak and caramel.

Greek unemployment dips to 26.4 percent
Thursday - 3/7/2013, 7:31am EST
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Unemployment in Greece dipped marginally to 26.4 percent in December, but experts warn that more significant improvements are unlikely in coming months.
The Greek Statistical Authority said Thursday the November figure had been revised from 27 percent originally, a record high, to 26.6 percent. The agency said the discrepancy was due to a seasonal adjustment recalculation.
The rate has fluctuated around the record levels in recent months, with some economists -- as well as a government-funded study -- predicting an increase to 30 percent this year.
About a million Greeks have lost their jobs since the start of the recession in late 2008. Only 3.7 million people work out of a population of nearly 11 million.
Unemployment has surged amid austerity measures demanded by rescue lenders from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
Debt inspectors are in Athens to press for faster cuts to public sector staff. The conservative-led government has resisted the stronger pressure to fire civil servants, insisting that staff reduction targets can be met through attrition.

Our history is one of truly realizing the American dream. Founded in 1979, Mercedes Electric Supply was the creation of two eager entrepreneurs, Mercedes and Victor LaPorta. Mercedes, a Cuban born immigrant, and her husband Victor have built Mercedes Electric Supply from a common passion, philosophy and work ethic. This philosophy, of building solid relationships and putting the customer first, has allowed them to grow the business from a company of two to a successful corporation of 45 employees.
Mercedes Electric Supply's first location was a 1,000 square foot warehouse that distributed a single product line, Sylvania light bulbs. Mercedes and Victor built upon their core philosophy of establishing both customer and vendor relationships, and within just six short years the company experienced considerable growth. In 1985, Mercedes Electric Supply expanded its product line, moved to a new 11,000 square foot facility which included a 4,000 square foot office to accommodate a staff of 13, and added two trucks to its fleet.
In less than a decade, Mercedes Electric Supply became a leader in the distribution of electrical equipment in Florida. In 1990, our company became a Square D Premier Distributor and in 1996, Square D selected Mercedes Electric to be their exclusive authorized distributor of its High Tech products for South Florida.
We expanded once again in 1995 by purchasing a 20,000 square foot warehouse and an 8,000 square foot office space which now accommodates our staff of 45. This enabled us to grow again which resulted in Mercedes Electric Supply being placed on the list of The 250 Largest Electrical Distributors in the United States in 1999.
Today Mercedes Electric Supply maintains over $3,000,000 of inventory and operates a fleet of six trucks.
Through our emphasis on innovative, environmentally sustainable and value-added programs, systems and services, we can simplify the maintenance of existing lighting systems and recommend ways to "Green" new construction.
Mercedes Electric Supply is committed to providing superior service to our customers. Our status as a leader in the distribution and implementation of automation products and solutions in the electrical industry emphasizes value for our customers.

Experts still fighting over the site of the Battle of Hastingstags: Hastings, 1066, Telegraph (UK), English history, British history, William the Conqueror
It is the most famous battle in British history, fought, as every schoolboy knows, in 1066 at a site now marked by Battle Abbey, near the town of Hastings.
But while the date of the Battle of Hastings might still be universally accepted, the location has been called into question, with two experts proposing not one but two different sites for where the fighting actually took place.
They believe that for almost a 1,000 years, the battle has been commemorated at the wrong spot, with one historian claiming the fighting actually occurred a mile to the north, on Caldbec Hill, and another stating it was two miles away, to the south, at a place called Crowhurst....
