Just thought I'd share this charming piece of graffiti from near my home.
By the way, this is the ONLY women's library in the country, it has only women's work in it and also serves as a sort of feminist museum. They're affiliated with a university close by and hold regular events such as workshops and talks on subjects like the poetry of immigrant women of colour or the representation of mental health in women's literature. Its also due to be closed down by the Conservatives.
Can men go in and borrow books written by women?
Yeah, totally, they even do events for men by women on intro to feminism, rape culture stuff sometimes!
god forbid women have a single fucking thing without men getting jealous like fucking children

Toronto city council has voted to ban the sale of shark fin in the city.
The ban, suggested by councillors John Parker, Glenn De Baeremaeker and Kristyn Wong-Tam, will outlaw the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins or their derivative products.
The proposal passed easily - by a vote of 38 to 4.
Shark fins are used in a soup that is often served at traditional Chinese weddings.
Those who support the ban say sharks are killed inhumanely and often thrown into the ocean alive after their fins are sliced off.
Those who opposed the ban say the soup is a traditional dish and insist the sharks are killed humanely.
Before the vote Mayor Rob Ford said he didn't think it was the city's responsibility to ban the sale of shark fins and that he wouldn't support the motion.
"I don't think it's in our purview to do that," he told CBC. "If other councillors want to do it it's an open vote. It's been going on for so long I don't know why it's an issue now."
About 100 protesters showed up outside City Hall, claiming a ban would hurt the restaurant industry.
The proposed bylaw will ban any use of shark fin and will impose fines ranging from $5,000 for a first offence to $100,000 for a third offence.
Some critics have argued that imposing a ban in Toronto will not end the problem since customers who want to eat shark fin soup will just travel to another municipality that doesn't have a ban.
They argue that the federal government needs to impose a national ban on the importation and consumption of shark fin.
Agreed wholeheartedly with the last statement. Although I would never eat Shark Fin soup anyway, their ban is useless/only hurting the restaurants when they should really be looking at the issue on a national level.
And Rob Ford is dumb, "It's been going on for so long I don't know why it's an issue now." Yeah, well, we could say that about everything and then nothing would change, right? Christ, who the hell voted for you.

Testimony on King Salmon Issues Moved Up
Roland Maw of UCIDA said a chance phone call last week revealed the Board of Fish is holding public testimony on King Salmon issues at the beginning of their statewide meetings, though Mr. Maw said that during the formation of the King Salmon Task Force, they were told it would be at the end…
Maw: "And that's caused several problems, because we have a number of our members, and that's just not drifters, but a lot of set netters and a lot of industry people, had planned on being there at the end of the statewide meeting to deal with the King issue, and so people had made plans, airline tickets had already been bought, and now a lot of people are going to miss that meeting, simply because of the way the Board has reorganized this meeting."
Maw called the move a "bait and switch" and made it impossible for local residents to attend both the Board of Fish and Board of Game meetings, as the Board of Fish beginning proceedings tomorrow at the same time the Board of Game is closing their final meeting.
Maw: "So I'm going to show up about the middle of the meeting and I'll miss public testimony, so I will not have a chance to hear what goes on. Probably have to listen to the tapes and away we go. I think the Board of [Fish], because of that procedural issue has put themselves in a real mess and they've put the public in a real mess and I think they've put the whole business of how to manage these Kings at risk."
However, we called the Alaska Department of Fish and Game office in Anchorage; they insisted public testimony was always scheduled for the beginning.

The past 12 months have seen Jet-Care (Booth No. 4442) growing its presence in the helicopter engine support sector. The company, which specializes in oil analysis and health monitoring for engines and equipment such as gearboxes, has won new business in the North American market while also making inroads into the growing South American sector.
Eurocopter EC 135
Bell 429 operators continue to give positive feedback about the new light twin as it enters its second year in service. Bell manufactured more than 30 of the helicopters last year and completed customer kit options.
Eurocopter EC135, Cessna 172L, Weyers Cave, Va., Dec. 31, 2010–The medevac helicopter was preparing to land at Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport after returning from a patient delivery when it collided with a Cessna 172L Skyhawk that lost its left wing. The Skyhawk crashed, killing its two occupants. Despite damage to its skids, the PHI-owned twin-turbine helicopter landed safely.
Researchers at the German aerospace research institute (DLR) plan to flight-test a system next year intended to aid landing in confined areas. The system relies on sensor fusion and adapts to each pilot's typical approach strategy. It should help improve the safety record for rescue operations at unprepared sites in poor visibility, research engineer Thorsten Strohmaier said during a presentation at the European Rotorcraft Forum.
Eurocopter said the flight-test program for its new medium twin helicopter, the EC175, is on schedule. The EC175 is expected to receive EASA certification in the second half of next year. The first prototype has flown about 70 hours over 80 flights since its maiden mission in December 2009, program director Francis Combes told AIN.
Eurocopter handed over an EC 135P2i to West Midlands Police assistant chief constable Sharon Rowe yesterday here at the Farnborough airshow. The helicopter, which was ordered last September, is a replacement of an EC 135 that was destroyed by arson last year. In the meantime, the French helicopter manufacturer kept the West Midlands Police in the air by supplying a police-configured interim EC135 shortly after the incident.
The first operator of an EMS-configured Bell 429 light twin reports it is "more than happy" with the helicopter and its performance after flying 65 missions in less than a month. Des Moines-based Mercy Medical Center's Mercy One placed its 429 into operation on April 10.
Eurocopter EC135, Cave Creek, Ariz. Feb. 14, 2010–The twin-turbine helicopter was destroyed and the commercial pilot and four passengers were killed when it crashed soon after takeoff on a Part 91 flight from a private facility near Flagstaff.
The Clean Sky joint technology initiative, a e1.6 billion ($2.2 billion) private-public partnership on aeronautical research in Europe, has issued its third call for proposals. Working toward the development of a green rotorcraft, the consortium is focusing on engines, aerodynamics and tiltrotors.
Blue is the new green. Prompted by environmental concerns–regulatory and otherwise– Eurocopter took advantage of the Heli-Expo platform to formally launch its Bluecoptor program.
Bluecopter first emerged from a demonstrator EC120 modified to use a "high compression" diesel engine instead of the usual 504-shp Turbomeca Arrius turboshaft engine. The helicopter OEM is expecting a 40-percent reduction in fuel consumption.

Latest news: Thu, Sep 18 2014, MENACE
MENACE, the musically many-faceted brainchild of NAPALM DEATH axeman Mitch Harris, is premiering a new video featuring a track taken from their album 'Impact Velocity'. The amazing clip for the song "Malicious Code" is now exclusively streaming via these official media partners:
Metal Hammer (BG)
Radio Metal (FR)
Rocking (GR)
Metal Wani (IN)
Andfari (IS)
Rock Hard (IT)
Lords of Metal (NL)
Terrorizer (UK)
Revolver (US)
'Impact Velocity' is still available as a limited edition Digipak with bonus track on the Season of Mist shop and is streaming in full here. The artwork and track list are as follows:
Frontman Mitch Harris explains the idea behind and execution of "Malicious Code": "We wanted to save this video for later, since it's a completely different vibe than the others. Its unique, twisted view on rebuilding society creates a dark post-apocalyptic vision that I have not experienced before. The combination of music and visuals transfixes the viewer by enhancing the lyrics the perfectly. Malicious Code generates an invasive, vulnerable standpoint, an atmospheric mood beneath a controversial underlying message. 'Malicious Code' was an artistic project based on the concept of AI (Audio Installations). I created a montage from the short film by Floris Kaayk called The Origin of Creatures. Floris Kaayk is an artist based in the Netherlands. He has a unique style and truly embraces the concept of artist interaction. Floris was kind enough to contribute his footage to support the concept of A.I. A futuristic vision of a world after a catastrophic disaster, but due to miscommunication this mission is doomed to fail. The storyline of The Origin of Creatures is based on one of the most well-known tales about collaboration, the Tower of Babel. This tale is transformed and twisted and is set in an imaginary future, after the world is hit by a catastrophe. Among the remains of a devastated city, lives what is left of humanity."
Here is a link for Floris Kaayk's original full length, animated short 'The Origin of Creatures', which already won a series of awards in prestigious film festivals worldwide.
Kaayk received worldwide recognition for his viral "Bird Man" hoax video. This has attracted much attention to his work."
MENACE are the brainchild of Mitch Harris (NAPALM DEATH, MEATHOOK SEED). "The band is called MENACE, but to me, it is more than just a band or a solo project", comments the musician. "It is the result of my life's work." Not surprisingly regarding such an adventurous and prolific musician, the result is stunningly eclectic and absolutely unique. Within their driving, creative heavy rock or audio-installationism (A.I.) in the artist's own words, Harris and MENACE explore dissonance, melody, relating the width and breadth of human emotion and experience. This delicious musical cocktail contains many tasty ingredients ranging from the mystery and emotionality of TOOL to eccentric VOIVOD and even delivering thrashy riffs. Yet none of these comparisons and labels fully fit as MENACE always add their own twist finding a new way of expression. Tracks such as "I Live With Your Ghost" and "Painted Rust" are infectious anthems both personal and obscure; distilling and amplifying the sum of Harris' experiences from good to tragic and all in between. "MENACE bring unrealised dreams closer to fruition", he adds. "It is about overcoming loss and hardship, and a combination of my many interests." 'Impact Velocity' is not just an outstanding collection of modern heavy rock, but comes equally as a challenge and with a surprisingly broad appeal. Expect the unexpected!

They told us she's a "Lab" (highly questionable) but the paperwork for when they took her in says "Shep Mix" (at least in the right ballpark). We don't really know what she is at this point. If you can discern anything from this video, please let us know. We'll definitely be doing a DNA test at some point to get to the bottom of it.

Truthful Tuesday
- I am really struggling lately, emotionally.
- A lot of the people I care about are also having a difficult time.
- Not being able to make them feel better only adds to my sadness.
- Sometimes I just need a shoulder to cry on and a chance to clear my mind to a sympathetic ear.
- I don't enjoy burdening my friends with my own inability to cope with the voices in my head, and so…
- For the first time in my life I am seriously considering seeing a therapist.
- Maybe it will be good. Maybe it will be bad. We'll see.
She said yes!
True love knows no borders. Congratulations to two of my favorite people.

Hockey league: Jackson's late goal gives Rhinos a winning start
Defending champions Ranchi Rhinos rode on Ashley Jackson's late penalty corner conversion to register their first win in the Hero Hockey India League 2014 by beating Delhi Waveriders with a solitary goal in a keenly-contested league match at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here Monday.
It took the Rhinos 63 minutes to break the deadlock through Jackson, who converted a set-piece to open the hosts' account in the second edition.
With two last year's finalists in action in reigning champions Ranchi Rhinos and runners-up Delhi Waveriders, it was expected to be a close contest and it turned out to be one as both the teams matched each other stick by stick.
Still reeling from their 2-3 defeat at the hands of Uttar Pradesh Wizards in their tournament opener, the Ranchi Rhinos however started on a positive note and put Delhi Waveriders defence under pressure early on.
The hosts created a few bright openings in the beginning but their forward line led by star striker Mandeep Singh wasted the opportunities as the Delhi outfit displayed some stout defending.
As the match progressed, the Delhi Waveriders slowly and steadily got their footing in the match and managed to earn their first real chance in the 17th minute through a penalty corner which was brilliantly saved by Ranchi Rhinos goalkeeper Francisco Cortes to deny Rupinderpal Singh.
After some midfield slugfest, Amon Tirkey missed a golden opportunity for the Ranchi Rhinos when his reverse shot from inside the circle hit the side-board.
Few minutes later, Akashdeep Singh and Talwinder Singh combined well to earn Delhi Waveriders a penalty corner but the visitors wasted the chance because of a bad push.
Ranchi Rhinos almost thrice had shots at the Delhi goal just at the stroke of halftime but all the three attempts were kept away by Delhi Waveriders goalkeeper Hamish McGreger as both the teams failed to break the ice at halftime.
The Rhinos continued to press for goals after the crossover and in the process earned another penalty corner but Jackson missed the target.
Ranchi custodian Cortes had a brilliant outing as he produced numerous saves to keep his side in the hunt.
In the 62nd minute, Delhi Waveriders threatened the Ranchi Rhinos defence with three attempts in succession but Cortes came up with a triple save to keep a clean slate.
Cortes first saved twin tries from New Zealand striker Simon Child and then kept at bay Akshdeep's hit from just inside the circle.
A minute later Jackson finally broke the ice when he made use of a penalty corner to send the home crowd into ruptures.
The Delhi Waveriders got a golden chance to equalise in the next minute but Andres Mir Bel's attempt from a penalty corner went wide.
The win gave Ranchi Rhinos five points while Delhi Waveriders secured one point as per the rules of the tournament.
Ranchi Rhinos will next travel to Lucknow to face Uttar Pradesh Wizards Saturday, while Delhi Waveriders will host league debutants Kalinga Lancers Thursday.

The Franchi SPAS-12 was a semi-automatic, 12-gauge shotgun noted for its variable-mode firing method in which the weapon could be fired via a gas-operated, semi-automatic mode (featuring self-loading) or a manually-actuated, pump-action / slide-action system. The SPAS-12 could, therefore, fire up to four rounds per second in the former mode, its dual-mode system managed by way of a two-position selector switch near the foregrip. The SPAS-12 was specifically designed as a combat shotgun and anti-riot measure but eventually marketed as a sporting system to civilians. Production of the series - handled by Luigi Franchi Development of Brescia, Italy (Franchi S.p.A), known for good quality shotguns - ran from 1979 to 2000 to which global operators became Austria, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and the United States. The Franchi firm was eventually sold to SOCIMI of Milan, which filed for bankruptcy in 1993, leaving Franchi to come under the experienced leadership of the famed Beretta concern. its imposing external characteristics made it a popular featured firearm in Hollywood films such as "Terminator", "3,000 Miles to Graceland", "Underworld" and "Jurassic Park".
Despite its futuristic appearance and dual-function fire mode, design of the SPAS-12 was somewhat conventional as a whole. The shoulder stock (detachable wooden, synthetic or folding metal) was appropriately set at the rear behind the pistol-type grip with the trigger system protected by an oblong ring. The receiver was mostly rectangular in shape with clean straight lines throughout and sported the cartridge ejection port along the right hand side. Perhaps the forend hand guard / slide of the SPAS-12 was its most identifiable design element, wrapping around the tube magazine fitted underneath the barrel. Shells were inserted into the tube magazine one behind the other. Sights were optional as were muzzle accessories, broadening the tactical scope of the weapon. General iron sighting was accomplished by a rear aperture and front blade arrangement. Beyond standard slug and spread rounds common to shotguns, the SPAS-12 could also "fire less-than-lethal" ammunition for the purposes of riot control - hence its interest by security parties. While fitted with an integrated lever safety, issues with the system resulted in a product recall.
There were few variations in the SPAS-12 production line and early forms were actually completed with a wooden fully detachable stock but this eventually gave way to the more common folding metal version. A synthetic stock was also later offered. The metal version could also be fitted with an optional folding underarm "loop" for improved single-handed firing - though this was always thought as impractical to most, considering the sheer weight and recoil of the weapon. The SPAS-12 family could subsequently be found sporting between 18- and 24-inch barrel systems and ammunition counts ranging from 5-, 6- and 8-rounds.
The SPAS-12 attempted to break the civilian sporting gun market but the system ultimately proved too unwieldy and generally complex for big game hunting or competition and the shotgun was eventually outlawed from import in the United States for its very "militaristic" features (high ammunition count, semi-automatic fire mode, heat shield for sustained firing, etc…). With the American gun market out of reach and global interest limited, Franchi ended production of their SPAS-12 in 2000. However, the lessons learned in its design and development went on to forge the later SPAS-15 series of automatic shotguns.
In the military market, the Franchi SPAS-12 found a home with Austria's EKO Cobra counter-terrorism units. Similarly, Indonesia fielded the SPAS-12 with their Komando Pasukan Katak and Komando Pasukan Khusus special warfare groups. Malaysia assigned the shotgun to their Special Operations Force and Bangladesh purchased the weapon in quantity for their Presidential Special Security Force. In the United States, SWAT teams were given access to the SPAS-12 for a time but the shotgun never found a permanent military home with the American military.
Incidentally, the acronym used to designate the SPAS-12 stood for "Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun", this being something of a psychological effort on the part of Franchi S.p.A. to help counter import bans and other restrictions arising within several countries by making the gun appear as more of a "sporting" system than the obvious. Regardless of its limitations and reach, the SPAS-12 went on to become one of the most recognizable shotguns in history.

Former West Virginia Mountaineers baseball star Jedd Gyorko finally launched his first long ball of the season in one of the most venerable stadiums in all of Major League Baseball.
Gyorko stepped up to the plate in the top of the eighth inning for the San Diego Padres, trailing 6-0 to the hometown Chicago Cubs. Even with the game out of reach, Gyorko was determined to bust up the shutout bid of Cubs pitcher Scott Feldman.
Facing the 1-1 pitch, Gyorko leaned into a beautiful fastball and took it over the ivy-crusted left field wall for his first career home run. There is no more picturesque and historically significant park in the National League for Gyorko to have hit his first MLB long ball.
You can view the homer video here.
Traditionally, Cubs fans throw back the opposing team's home runs and the enthusiastic Cubs fan delivers the ball back to the field, staying true to tradition. He actually has a decent arm, but pales in comparison to the greatest Cubs fan of all. No, not Steve Bartman, but Henry Rowengartner.
Now that's a kid that knows how to bring the hot, stinky cheddar. But I digress…
Congratulations to Jedd Gyorko on what promises to be the first of many home runs in his MLB career.

Cleveland now talking to former #Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan, according to multiple league sources.
— John Keim (@john_keim) January 28, 2014
According to multiple reports, the Cleveland Browns and head coach Mike Pettine are talking to Kyle Shanahan about their open offensive coordinator position. Shanahan most recently worked under his father as the offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins and spent time working under Gary Kubiak with the Houston Texans.
Shanahan gets a large amount of grief because he was working for his father and was virtually shielded from all criticism in Washington. The media was resigned to the fact that Mike Shanahan would never fire his own son.
The other dark cloud hanging over Shanahan's head is the handling of quarterback Robert Griffin III in their playoff game two years ago. Though not responsible for the actual injury, Shanahan continued to call plays that asked Griffin to be mobile, rollout and use his legs when he was clearly struggling to move on the leg that would eventually house a torn ACL.
Shanahan does get rave reviews for some because of his aggressiveness with play calling and running a quarterback friendly offense that is not afraid to use play action, roll the passer out and go deep. He also has experience working with a mobile quarterback like Griffin as well as a relatively immobile one in Kirk Cousins.
Recently, Shanahan was linked to a job with the Baltimore Ravens to be reconnected with Kubiak but it ultimately did not happen.

text: Haunts November 26, 2012 Issue In Character By Tad Friend Table of Contents The Upper West Side, shrine to the pricey pillow sham, is no longer much of a frontier. But, on a recent sparkling Tuesday, Bryan Cranston revisited the proving grounds that—when he arrived here as a callow redhead, in 1983, to star in the ABC soap opera "Loving"—helped make him a man. His private walking tour soon became public, as throngs of people recognized him from his Emmy-winning role on "Breaking Bad." Graying and assured now, at fifty-six, he shook hands and posed for photographs. When one man's girlfriend wanted her own snapshot with the star, Cranston snarled, "I'll take a photo with him, but you? You disgust me!" Then he laughed—kidding!—and folded her in. He declared, in front of his old apartment complex, on West Seventy-first, "This is it! The ugliest building on the block." It certainly was. "Four hundred and seventy-five dollars a month," he explained. "My friends and I would take gourds up to the roof, after Halloween, and toss them off. The goal was to shot-put a pumpkin so you hit the street between the rows of parked cars—you'd really have to use your geometry. When someone misjudged, we'd do the right thing, and run away." In 1984, he was fired from "Loving," predictably (the show was nicknamed "Leaving"); a producer bade him goodbye in less than fifteen seconds. After sulking for two days, Cranston wandered into Central Park and happened on the finish line of the New York Marathon. Moved by the thousands of runners surging to the tape—"old people, children, people in bunny costumes, people who'd lost their legs, this amazing menagerie of humanity"—he began training to run it himself, the following year. Eventually, newly fit and stripped of self-pity, he moved back to Los Angeles and played sturdy astronauts and a groovy dentist and the timid dad on "Malcolm in the Middle," becoming the kind of Jack Warden-ish actor he'd always admired: one who plunges so deeply into character that you forget who you're watching. In "Argo," Ben Affleck's film about the Iranian hostage crisis, Cranston is a C.I.A. bureaucrat named Jack O'Donnell, a sour, ass-covering, but surprisingly sympathetic figure. O'Donnell's ennobling arc is the opposite of that traversed by Walter White of "Breaking Bad," Cranston's chemistry teacher turned meth dealer turned megalomaniac. The show's eight concluding episodes begin shooting next month, and Cranston still has no inkling of Walter's fate. But, as the character increasingly makes us recoil, the actor has discovered who he really is: "At first, Walt's emotional core wasn't available to me, because he was so depressed he was numb. But now it's all coming out, this shotgun of emotions." Acting may be alchemy, but creating sympathy, he said, requires merely the right mix of facial and cranial hair. His "Argo" character has shortish hair and no mustache or beard, "which is the least intimidating look a man can have. The most intimidating is a shaved head and facial hair, like Walter has. And I have a naturally mean face." He took off his baseball cap, wiped his expression clean, and became a flinty and begrudging Grinch. Then he returned to his body, grinning at how easily he could tune the knobs of discomfort. Cranston paused on Central Park West near Seventy-first. "In August of 1987," he said, "I was walking to the doctor, because I had a gastrointestinal bug. I was just turning the corner when I heard Bam! Blunk! Aaah!" The Aaah! was a terrible cry. "I turn and see a man on the street, run over, blood on the ground, his eyes are turning up, and his neck was"—Cranston crooked his own almost sideways. "I put my hands under his head so it would be softer than the asphalt, and I could feel him gurgling, and I was shouting, 'Did anyone see the car?' The doorman said, 'Oh, that's Mr. So-and-So. I knew he was depressed, but . . .' And then I saw that the parked car next to us had"—his hands carved out a huge dent. "And I realized, Oh, my God—he threw himself from an upper window. I was so delirious from illness that, as I watched him die, I felt it all as these sharp fragments, a bad editing job of my life. And I became angry at the man, and pulled back from him." After a moment, he added, "Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us"—he gestured toward the hurtling passersby. "I've been very lucky, but . . . the TV business is like the produce section of the market. Today everything is fresh and glistening and firm. And tomorrow, when they find a bruise on you, they toss you out." ♦ Tad Friend has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1998.

Rod of correction
By Corey Worrell | Fri, March 29, 2013 - 12:01 AM
Being a parent and being a teacher are two of the greatest, most stressful yet the most important and rewarding jobs in the world. The first you aren't paid for and the second you aren't paid enough.
Both jobs come with the responsibility of caring, training, educating, supporting and disciplining children. The latter has resurfaced as a hot debate in this country over the past two weeks.
There are many forms of discipline that can be used to keep a child in order, one of which is corporal punishment.In Barbados, when we hear the phrase, corporal punishment we immediately think about lashes, licks, whipping or flogging. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of a Child defines it as, "any punishment in which physical force is used and intended to cause some degree of pain or discomfort, however light". (Seems very broad and ambiguous to me).
I have no idea where corporal punishment began, but I do know that sometime in the tenth century BC, Solomon addressed the matter in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 22:15 – foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will drive it away from him.Proverbs 23:13-14 – Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die. Punish them with the rod and save them from death.
I fully support corporal punishment once it is needed but it shouldn't be the first response or method used to deal with a situation or a problem. The human body reacts differently to various stimuli and as a result different approaches should be administered.
A pinch or a slap can have a quicker result than continuously asking a child to stop doing something. There are some children for whom a stern look would solve the problem but there are others that it wouldn't work with.Each child and each situation is different so various disciplinary options should be explored and used.
We continue to advocate for children's rights and I fully support that, but parents have rights as well. As a parent, I have a right to discipline my child if he steps out of line.
For us to categorize corporal punishment under the heading of child abuse is misleading and wrong. There are humane and proper ways to administer corporal punishment and then there are other ways that are extreme, wrong and abusive.
Earlier this week I heard a local advocate against child abuse oppose corporal punishment and claim that it makes children less sociable and encourages violent behaviour. Could it be sheer coincidence that the American Psychological Association opposes the use of corporal punishment in schools, juvenile facilities, child care nurseries and all other institutions, public or private, where children are cared for or educated.
The association claims that corporal punishment is violent and unnecessary, may lower self-esteem, is liable to instill hostility and rage without reducing the undesired behaviour and is likely to train children to use physical violence.
I am slowly seeing the "northamericanization" of my country. It seems like our decisions and thoughts are being determined by others. There is plenty we can learn from Uncle Sam but as my friend Kyle has taught me, "we must learn to eat the meat and spit out the bones".
I am a teacher and I can tell you that the few teacherswho flog are more feared and respected than those who don't or can't. Their classes are more organized, children generally behave well and they come prepared with the necessary items for class.
Students' behaviour has deteriorated tremendously yet corrective measures and adequate disciplinary actions have been taken away from teachers.
Research has shown that children who live with and are parented by both parents generally perform better and have considerably fewer disciplinary issues than those who don't. I wonder if in our education system the same would be true if the principal and deputy principal were different sexes.

I went to turn off the main shut off valve in the basement to do some work on a faucet. It wouldn't close completely, and leaked a little. Once I loosened it a bit, a small stream came out, but after fiddling with it, it stopped.
I looked at the Mississauga website and they have emergency numbers for water issues, but, if my valve busts, then my basement becomes flooded... What's the best way to fix this? Is the water shutoff valve the city uses accessible by homeowners?

what side of the water meter is it on and how many valves do you have? City side will require city crews to turn off the valve at the street and you get a plumber to put in a new one. Sometimes if you turn the valve in once from the full open position the stem seals will stop leakingReply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Drthorne for this post.

www.peelregion.ca and they will have to shut off the water valve located on your driveway for you to repair this leaking valve. You can confirm this by checking your water/sewage bill.
That valve is down about 6-8 ft deep, and requires a specific tool to open and close the water service.
Edit, here it the contact page:

In case of emergency, these valves are usually located at surface level, either on the driveway or on the front lawn. You can usually turn them with a suitable wrench. Nobody is going to give you any static if you turn the water off yourself in an emergency.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked DrXenon for this post.

Great, thanks for all the replies! I think I'll wait until it's warmer out to get the main valve replaced. I'll definitely get a ball valve, thanks for the suggestion.
The exterior water shut off is a cap on my driveway, looks fairly easy to get the top off -- but I guess reaching the valve a few feet under is another story. I'll probably ask the city to do it, hopefully they don't charge for it.

Quote Unquote: The Communist Threat
Bill Clinton responds to Rep. Allen West's claim to knowledge of up to 80 communists in the congressional Democratic caucus…
"Nobody has seen a communist in over a decade."
Maybe. But Emmanuel Goldstein is always out there… Lying in wait… Biding his time…

Birthers Divided on Whether or Not to Get Behind Ridiculous Nonsense
Look, we all know that Barack Obama is a Kenya-born Muslim fundamentalist who forged birth certificates so as to falsely claim the presidency and bring the Great Satan down from the inside. Right? Simple obvious stuff. But, what if all that is not true?
Hear me out! I know it sounds crazy, but what if he was actually… a Communist Terror Baby?!
Dreams From My Real Father, a 97-minute film narrated by an Obama impersonator, weaves the narrative that Obama's grandfather wasn't a furniture salesman but an undercover CIA agent who convinced Barack Obama Sr. to marry his teenage daughter to hide the fact that she was impregnated by a 55-year-old communist named Frank Marshall Davis…
[T]he filmmakers assert that Obama had a nose job ahead of his 2004 run for Senate, that his mother posed for naked photos when she was five weeks pregnant with him and that Bill Ayers nurtured Obama's career.
I haven't seen the film, but that all checks out with me. Seems about right. I guess I kinda always assumed something like that, you know?
There's one glaring problem with this new conspiracy theory, though. How can he be the secret love child of an American Communist if he wasn't even born in America?
[T]he suggestion that Obama really was born in Hawaii and that his father was an American citizen has some conspiracy theorists upset. Birther queen Orly Taitz is troubled by the film because it undermines the theory that Obama's father had to be a U.S. citizen for him to be a "natural born citizen"… WND and Corsi, wrote Taitz, are "trying to kill the case by making up an American citizen father for Obama."
Insidious stuff. I'll tell you who's behind it. Barack Obama. Or Boris Obamsky or whatever is real name is.

President Obama's One Word Slogan Is a Dirty Commie
It's a shame President Obama didn't type his new campaign slogan into Wikipedia before he announced it or he might have seen "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)" among the listings. Now, Republicans are clamoring to remind everyone that certain terms can have multiple connotations. For instance, if you say it often enough, "9/11" means "Saddam Hussein has WMDs."
As this article based on an irrefutable Wikipedia page (edited 17 times today already) says…
"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.
The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.
The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning.
Great. Every conservative pundit who believes President Obama secretly wants to turn this country into a *vomit burp* socialist democracy is going to have a field day with this tenuous word association.
But it doesn't end there. After looking up "Hope" on Wikipedia, I learned it's the name of Israel's national anthem, and "Yes We Can" is a song featured in the video game Guitar Hero II. President's Obama's use of these words in 2008 can only mean one thing: He's going to destroy the free market with the help of rambunctious Israeli rock & roll band Monotonix!
Maybe not, but you've got to hand it to the right. They really cover their tracks. If you search Wikipedia for "Ass-Backwards," it doesn't say anything about conservative ideology. Yet.

Allen West: 80 House Democrats Are Members of the Communist Party
This campaign cycle is the worst sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine, ever. At least the '80s gave us E.T. and Super Mario Bros. Our present 1950s time warp is all about retrograde attitudes toward women, trouble with Russia and, naturally, a dollop of McCarthyism.
The latter comes courtesy of Florida Republican and Sarah Palin's preferred Vice Presidential nominee Allen West, who told constituents at a Tuesday town hall in Palm City that he's "heard" that up to 80 of his Democratic colleagues in the House are Communist Party members. There's no word on whether he held a list of Democratic-Communists in his hand, but the Palm Beach Posts reports that "he wouldn't name names."
West's comments are setting off a storm of snark, but it's important to remember that "up to 80" could mean "zero." As in, up to 10 Florida Congressmen have had carnal relations with dolphins. Up to 30 Senate Democrats drink the blood of aborted babies for brunch. Up to 80 House Republicans masturbate to pictures of Newt Gingrich cuddling with zoo animals.
If you're going to speak in mathematical inequalities, you have to precise. As in, more than zero but less than two Florida congressmen have left the military after being charged with the torture of an Iraqi police officer.

Republicans Love Quoting Stalin
"American exceptionalism." It's a phrase Republicans love to throw around, especially on the campaign trail. Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney pepper their speeches with references to United States' unique national character. And Newt Gingrich even included it in the title of one of his books.
It turns out the candidates are just quoting a big ol' Communist…
Although a superiority complex has long pervaded the national psyche, the expression "American exceptionalism" only became big a few years ago…What's more, Tocqueville didn't invent the term. Who did? Joseph Stalin.
In the 1920s… America's radical left considered the national condition, contrasted it with Europe, and concluded leftism would be a hard sell stateside thanks to characteristics forged along the frontier. Americans were different: individualistic, profit-crazed, broadly middle class, and as tolerant of inequality as they were reverent of economic freedom…
In 1929, Communist leader Jay Lovestone informed Stalin in Moscow that the American proletariat wasn't interested in revolution. Stalin responded by demanding that he end this "heresy of American exceptionalism." And just like that, this expression was born.
The GOP might have to dial back their rhetoric a bit. It's hard to call the President a lefty radical who wants to spread the wealth around when you're the one quoting the world's most famous communist dictator.
Then again, maybe voters won't notice. If Rick Santorum gets his wish and young people stop going to college, no one will even know who Stalin is. Or what big words like "exceptionalism" and "hypocrisy" mean.

Enterprising Uttar Pradesh official gets farmers their loan waivers
More than 12,000 farmers from 506 villages, whose bank loans amounting to over Rs 34 crore (Rs.340 million/USD 5.5 million) had been waived more than a year ago but who were still in the clutches of middlemen and corrupt officials, were "liberated" by a single stroke by an enterprising Uttar Pradesh government official who decided to address the issue head-on.
"India enjoyed good GDP growth rate, but the boom bypassed the vast rural hinterland of India. Farmers' distress-suicides have made newspaper headlines. Various attempts to provide relief (rural jobs scheme and the like) have had little impact. So, many economists think the loan waiver is a worthwhile alternative to provide relief. The aim is worthy. But loans to the rural poor in the 1980s demonstrated that crooked officials demanded bribes amounting to may be one-third the intended benefits," a visibly pleased Heera Lal, the chief development officer of Firozabad who decided to stand the system on its head, told IANS.
A government order (GO) had been issued on December 12, 2012, under a 'Debt waiver scheme' for farmers who had mortgaged productive agricultural land to raise loans of up to Rs.50,000 and had paid 10 percent of the principal. Under this scheme, the state-run Sahkari Gram Vikas Bank waived off Rs.1,650 crore worth of loans to 710,000 farmers. All of them were to be issued certificates to this effect by the bank's headquarters in Lucknow.
However, without the middlemen and touts, known by many names as authorised dealers, agents, facilitators, deed writers or plain dalals, the farmers were not able to approach the bankers directly.
"In the name of managing, processing and sanctioning loans, they charge fees in the name of documentation and to oblige officials. This fee varies depending upon the loan amount between many thousands to five hundreds," Heera Lal said.
"It was at this point that I decided to intervene and experiment with a new procedure which helped save approximately Rs.3 crore (bribe included) by organising a certificate distribution programme in one day and in a single shot to free the farmers from the clutches of corrupt elements," he added of the distribution ceremony earlier this month.
"On my request, the assistant registrar (cooperative) contacted the head office of the bank in Lucknow. He was told that the printed certificates were ready for distribution. We collected the printed certificates within two days from (general manager) Alok Dixit of the bank posted at Lucknow and in charge of this scheme at the state level.
"Bank officials informed that no certificate was given in any district. I decided to take lead in my district. We planned a distribution ceremony to give all 12,026 certificates in one day at one place. With this aim to achieve we started elaborate and fool-proof preparations," Heera Lal said.
"Six branches distributed loans to 12,026 farmers. Firozabad district has nine blocks. I appointed the block development officers as nodal officers for this. District level officials from the agricultural department were attached with each block to assist the BDOs. All six branch managers were directed to prepare certificates and hand them over to the BDOs. At each block a team under a BDO was entrusted with the task of distribution," Heera Lal said.
An elaborate distribution plan was put in place. Two slips were prepared for each farmer. One was sent as an invitation and the other was pasted on a chair at the distribution site. A team was also formed to execute the BDO's directions. The teams were entrusted with the responsibility of sending out the inviations and bringing and sending back the farmers.
"After the lectures of the guests, the certificates were distributed in one shot. Farmers got proof in their hands about their loan waiver off in the form of a certificate," Heera Lal noted.
Banker Alok Dixit said many other district officials are contacting him to replicate the event in their areas. This process is on in Kannauj, Sambhal, Mainpuri, Allahabad and Badaun, among others.
Heera Lal says his initiative is a social and a political product that empowered the last man in the row. "Seeing a gathering of 12,026 farmers from 506 villages along with their pradhans gave me immense pleasure in serving such a big crowd," Heera Lal signed off.

Rooney to stay as Moyes prepares Manchester United for preseason tour
7/11/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Manchester United manager David Moyes reiterated his desire to keep Wayne Rooney at the club in an interview to talkSPORT before leaving for preseason tour to Far East and Australia on Wednesday.
The new old Trafford boss insists Wayne Rooney is committed to Manchester United and wants to commit his future to the club. Such statements have arrived from Wayne Rooney's teammates as well, but the 27-year-old England international has failed to clarify the situation himself.
David Moyes claims there have been no further developments of Wayne Rooney's transfer saga. The Scotsman insists the Manchester will not be selling Wayne Rooney to any club, although the forward has been linked with big money moves to Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
"Wayne is not for sale," David Moyes said in an interview last Friday. "He is a Manchester United player and will remain a Manchester United player. I see a glint in his eye. He looks happy, he looks like he will knuckle down and get himself right.
"I've been fortunate, I've known Wayne since he was 16. I've had several meetings with Wayne. He's training brilliantly well, he's come back in good shape and I'm really looking forward to working with him.
"I see a glint in his eye, he looks happy and if he is saying I'm going to knuckle down and get it right - let's not kid ourselves. He's a terrific player and let me reiterate, he's not for sale."
Wayne Rooney will travel with Manchester United to Bangkok on Wednesday to begin the preseason tour. David Moyes, who had intense talks over a contract renewal with Wayne Rooney last week, claims the forward has decided to commit to Manchester United.
"The club have already stated Wayne is not for sale," David Moyes told talkSPORT. "I have met Wayne two, three, four times.
"A lot has been said about myself and Wayne over the years but we have a really good relationship. He came to my house, I have been to his recently to have a chat. Also he is here every day.
"I will say he is training great. They are telling me it is the best shape they have seen him in for a long time. From that point of view I am taking it as a positive and I am going to try and get the best Wayne Rooney I possibly can."

Would you believe or commit yourself ?
Your at an atheist convention.
God makes an appearance.
Everyone sees him and lets say nobody can touch him, he's ethereal like.
He stays as long as it takes, debunks every retarded myth from every religion. Somehow explains how he created the universe and everything in it. In essence proved to you his extistence in every possible manner you could think of.
Would you believe or commit yourself ?
Religious brainwashing
Religious brainwashing:
The theist would maintain that it doesn't exist. He would say it hasn't succeeded with him. He would claim to still be in control of his own self.
But I would have to ask the theist: How would you KNOW they haven't succeeded? How do you KNOW you are in control of yourself?
Do any of you believe in ghosts? If so, how do you rationalize that with believers? I've heard/seen too many things to not believe in them, but I don't know how to explain that I do not believe in a soul.
How he works
When I was young I wanted a new bicycle. I prayed every night for one. Then I was told that god did not work that way. So I stole a bicycle and prayed for forgiveness.
What is God?
First Define your God.
Top 15 Quotes By Famous Atheists
Creationists make it sound like a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night — Isaac Asimov
I don't believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life. — Andrew Carnegie
All thinking men are atheists. — Ernest Hemingway
Lighthouses are more helpful then churches. — Benjamin Franklin
Faith means not wanting to know what is true. — Friedrich NietzscheThe fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. — George Bernard Shaw
Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile. — Kurt Vonnegut
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. — Frank Lloyd Wright
Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. — Denis Diderot
A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. — Samuel Clemens
Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church

CBAG Cleared To Buy Aircraft for Chinese Stem Cell Group
China Business Aviation Group (CBAG), the Beijing-based business aircraft solutions provider, has signed a contract with Beijing Stem Cell Technologies Co. (BSCT) authorizing CBAG to negotiate the purchase of three aircraft for the medical company. The choice will be between a long-range business jet, an Airbus Corporate Jet or similar-sized aircraft, and a short haul transport category aircraft for regional and domestic use. The purchase plans calls for one aircraft per year will be delivered beginning this year.
"Buying an aircraft is not just for showing off or fun," said BSCT CEO Zhai Jiahua. "They're quite practical and can help you save time." He noted that BSCT currently owns two aircraft, but needs more to support the company's growth.
"This is an exciting time for business aviation in China," said CBAG chairman and CEO Jason Liao, who formed CBAG in 2010 to provide turnkey purchasing, management and support services for business aircraft buyers. Based on the forecast Liao presented at the signing ceremony, there will be growing need for such services.
At current levels of growth, "In around ten years time, China will become the largest business aviation market in the world," Liao said. "Recently some of my friends jokingly said, 'If my business grows big enough I can afford to buy an aircraft.' This is not the right understanding. If you want to get rich, buy a business aircraft first."

Mass storage and data management with Parted Magic
Disk Aid
It's really annoying when a disk suddenly dies on you or a typo in a command deletes important data. The free Parted Magic Live distro offers help.
The explosion of hard disk capacities in recent years, coupled with the ever-improving multimedia capabilities of conventional computer systems, has led to massive growth in volumes of data in many households. But HD video, lossless audio files, and elaborate games force you pay more attention to backing up your data. Many naive users invest in expensive, commercial software, often accompanied by a yearly subscription fee, to create backups of their mass storage.
However, the Parted Magic Live distribution [1] gives you a permanent answer to backup problems. Parted Magic bills itself as "a complete hard disk management solution." The Live system comes with a collection of useful tools for partitioning, backup, disk cloning, data rescue, and more. Although the maintainer has recently asked for a contribution to help finance the GPL-licensed distribution, the price of just under US$ 5 is something anyone can afford.
Parted Magic offers several start options in the GRUB boot manager. If you use the operating system on an older machine with only 512MB of RAM, choose the Start option Live with default settings 32 (for 32-bit machines) or Live with default settings 64 (for 64-bit PCs).

Birth control pills can be 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when taken correctly. They contain two hormones — estrogen and progesterone — and prevent eggs from being released from the ovaries. The pills can also help improve acne problems, and decrease the chances of developing ovarian cysts and benign breast cysts.
Birth control pills are not effective at preventing pregnancy for the first seven days. Another form of birth control should be used during that time.
You may need to use another form of birth control while you are taking these medications.
