Sherry's was crowded for a wet Thursday night. Alexander McKie sipped rye whiskey and scanned the dining room with a practiced eye. The attractive redhead at the banquette was watching him again. All he could see of her escort was the back of his bald head. Alex stared back in friendly appreciation until the girl looked down, trying not to smile, then up and away again with a charming blush.
Cheered, Alex made an effort to pay closer attention to whatever Bennet Cochrane was booming on about now. But a second later he found himself surveying the room again, transfixed with boredom. Cochrane was an imbecile. A gasbag, a flaming bore, a conversational bully. He was also the most important client Alex had ever had, the man with the power to lift him out of the anonymity of the drafting room and into a partnership, on the strength of one enormous commission. What matter that the house he wanted him to build was a joke, a monstrosity, a stone and marble palace of stellar, unrivaled, spectacular bad taste? Right now, Alex was in no position to choose his clients. Especially millionaire clients. But why did this one have to be such a nincompoop? He glanced across the table at John Ogden, his employer, who was clearing his throat and sending a warning signal from behind the thick lenses of his steel pince-nez. Immediately Alex straightened, sobered, and turned on Ben Cochrane a look of total absorption.
"I'm not saying workers haven't got any rights at all. This is the 'nineties—a decent wage for a decent day's work, that's fine with me. I'm talking about the goddamn anarchists who want to blow us all to hell so they can take over our factories and mills and railroads and banks."
Rape our women, sodomize our children, Alex added in silence, desperate to amuse himself.
"You know what they want now, what they're demanding these days?"
"Well, I've heard—"
"I'll tell you. Free love. Negro emancipation. Peace, temperance. Votes for women." He glanced around the table, as if looking for something to spit on. "There's a bunch of them trying to organize my bakeshops right now—socialists and communists, talking to my people at night, stirring things up." He punched Alex's biceps with an angry forefinger. "I hear one word about strike, I'll fire 'em all, I swear to God. I'll set the militia on 'em. I'll set my own men on 'em."
"Bakeshops," Alex said mildly, easing back in his chair, out of reach. "I thought meatpacking was your game, Ben."
Immediately Cochrane mellowed; talking about himself always seemed to soothe him: "That's some of what I do," he explained, smug in his self-importance. "That's what I do in Chicago and St. Louis."
"Here in New York I do other things. A little of this, a little of that. Real estate, mostly. Banking, a little insurance."
"And bakeshops."
"Bakeshops, caskets, restaurant supplies. Asphalt. A little of this—"
"A little of that." Alex signaled the waiter for another drink.
Ogden cleared his throat again. "How did you get started in business, Ben? Are you a native Chicagoan?"
That set him off again. Alex listened with less than half an ear to an account of how, at the age of nineteen, Cochrane had invented a machine that could stun and kill a steer on a moving ramp in thirteen seconds; of how, two years later, he'd bought his first stock-yard; of his relentless expansion into cattle ranching and meatpacking, the two extreme ends—birth and death—of his slaughterhouse empire.
The catalog of achievements went on, and Alex stopped listening entirely to study Cochrane over the rim of his glass. He was big and blunt-featured, barrel-chested, with slicked-back hair and wild, unkempt brows over shrewd eyes the color of Brazil nuts. His bullish chin had a deep, round cleft in the center, like a third nostril. He had an impressive kind of authority, though, there was no denying it, and it came from more than just money. There was something dangerous about him too, something coarse and not quite civilized under the veneer of good jewelry and expensive clothes. Alex remembered the first time he'd seen him, the day he'd walked into the offices of Draper, Snow and Ogden. "I need an architect," he'd announced to Travis, the office manager. He didn't look like a millionaire. The partners were all away that morning. Travis introduced him to the senior draftsman—Alex.
Two months ago, that had been. Since then he'd gotten to know Ben Cochrane a great deal better than he wanted to. The man already had a New York mansion; now he wanted one in Newport, on a lot he'd just bought on Bellevue Avenue. His specifications were vague but grandiose. He didn't have a clue about architectural styles, and he had no interest in aesthetics or comfort or domestic harmony. All he wanted, was a house that blared out to the world that Bennet Cochrane was a success, and the only criterion he had for the blaring was loudness. Alex had never met a man as arrogant, ignorant, boorish, and vulgar.
Or as stinking rich. It was a compensating quality, no doubt about it. He glanced down at the sleeve of his new black suit and shot his cuff. Eighty dollars the suit cost, about three times more than he'd ever paid for a suit in his life. He'd picked it up from his tailor today on credit, in anticipation of the first installment Draper, Snow and Ogden would soon pay him out of Cochrane's commission. He pressed the crease in the knee of his natty striped trousers admiringly, thinking he didn't much look like a Salinas lettuce farmer's grandson. When anyone asked, he always said he came from Berkeley, as if his life had begun as an undergraduate. Which, he guessed, it pretty much had. Everything before that was mean and bleak and not worth remembering.
Cochrane flipped open his pocket watch for the third time in fifteen minutes. The first two times he'd done it, Alex had assumed it was to make sure he and Ogden knew the watch was solid gold. But his impatient scowl this time suggested that he really was annoyed, as he'd already mentioned two or three times, because his wife was late. "Let's order," he snapped suddenly, interrupting Ogden in the middle of a sentence, and raised an imperious hand toward the waiter.
Alex looked forward to meeting Mrs. Cochrane—or as her husband never tired of calling her, "the former Lady Sara Longford." She was just plain Sara Cochrane now, he also liked to say. Society gossip sniped that eight years ago Ben had gone to England in search of a titled wife, discovered Sara Longford at a debutante ball, and bought her from her mother, the impoverished Dowager Duchess of Somerville—a well-known drunk—for the sum of twenty thousand pounds. The idea had been that with his money and Lady Sara's blood, the Cochranes would take New York Knickerbocker society by storm.
But the plan hadn't quite worked out. Cochrane had made the Tribune's list of four thousand American millionaires, but he'd never made the Social Register. And if Alex was any judge, he never would. Not if he married God.
"I beg your pardon, I'm horribly late, you must all be starving. No, please, sit down. I hope you haven't waited to order. How do you do—it's Mr. McKie, isn't it? And Mr. Ogden, how good to see you again."
For some reason, he'd thought she would be dark. She was fair. Average height, slim, fashionably dressed. She gave him her hand—cool and unexpectedly strong. Her eyes were smoky blue, her mouth wide, her nose a little too long. Cochrane stood up to help her off with her coat—hyacinth-blue wool, Alex noted with a connoisseur's eye for women's clothes. It proved to be lined in red satin, and he wondered cynically if she'd worn it to the table so that no one would miss that eye-catching surprise. Under the coat she had on a soft blouse of saffron cashmere and a long, full walking skirt of brown and copper silk. She wore no jewelry but her wedding band and a plain gold brooch pinned to her bosom. She was stunning.
They all sat down. Alex couldn't take his eyes off her. So he was startled when Cochrane noted snidely, without modulating his booming cannon of a voice, "You're late, Sara, but obviously it's not because you've been laboring over your dress."
Her perfect English complexion pinkened slightly. "No," she said, addressing Alex and John Ogden, "forgive me, I must look a sight. I came here directly from work instead of going home to change." Her husband snorted. She eyed him steadily. "There was a last-minute emergency and it kept me longer than I expected. I'm sorry I've kept you waiting."
A few uncomfortable seconds passed. Alex asked, "What is it you do, Mrs. Cochrane?" and she turned to him in relief, eyes warming.
"She plays nursemaid to a lot of Jews and Micks and Eyetalians."
He saw her lips compress whitely, but only for a second. "I volunteer a little time at the Forsyth Street Settlement on the Lower East Side, Mr. McKie. We try to make the transition for new immigrants a little less harrowing. Mostly I teach English."
He liked her accent. But then, he reflected, the British could say anything at all and sound brilliant. He started to ask her more about her job, but the waiter came to take their orders, and after that Cochrane went back to monopolizing the conversation.
It was a struggle to listen, when what Alex really wanted to do was stare at Cochrane's wife. He contented himself with watching her hands as she folded and refolded her napkin. They were nervous, intelligent hands, slightly bony, the nails short and white. Was she listening to her husband's monologue? Had she realized long ago, as Alex was realizing now, that the cadence of Cochrane's speech was deliberately designed to wound and embarrass? When anyone tried to agree with him or ask a question, he ignored the contribution completely and began to talk through it as soon as he could think of something else to say. His politics were particularly abhorrent; they seemed more the views of a feudal tyrant than a quick-witted entrepreneur on the brink of the twentieth century. He spoke of the ruling class and the working class with all the sensitivity of a matinee villain. He truly believed that because he had started out shoveling blood and manure in a stockyard, that was a perfectly logical reason why workers deserved no sympathy at all. The man was a cartoon, a caricature; it was impossible to take him seriously. Hearing him try to elevate self-aggrandizement to the level of national interest was a joke. But as Alex watched the woman sitting beside him—tense, gravely polite, full of some quiet emotion that might be sorrow—it struck him that the joke wasn't very funny.
Cochrane's thick, bloody steak finally distracted him long enough to allow his wife to ask a question. "How long have you been practicing your profession, Mr. McKie?"
He almost smiled. Her husband had never thought to ask him that—a relevant inquiry, one would have thought, of the man who was going to build him a house in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars. "About four years."
"Alex is our brightest new man," Ogden put in quickly. "He got his engineering degree at Berkeley, and then took his Certificate at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Which is, of course," he added thoughtfully for Cochrane's benefit, "the finest school for architecture in the world."
"Have you done many other large residential designs?" Mrs. Cochrane pursued mildly.
The answer, of course, was no; but how should he put it? Inspiration struck. "Nothing as large as this, but then, I expect there aren't too many architects in the country who've done one as large as this."
Cochrane exhaled gruffly, his version of a laugh, and muttered fervently, "Damn right."
His wife wasn't so easily flattered. Alex thought her blue-gray eyes looked faintly amused before she turned back to her plate. It made him defensive. "I might not be as experienced as some, but I think I'm qualified to design a house in the style your husband and I have discussed, Mrs. Cochrane. As John said"—it still felt strange to call Ogden "John," but he'd insisted on it, ever since Cochrane had hired Alex as his architect—"As John said, my early training is in engineering, so I like to think I'm well-grounded in the practical aspects of construction and design. Because of my Beaux Arts training, I'm fluent in the academic vocabulary of the Gothic, the Romanesque, the Renaissance. My approach to design is eclectic, but my reverence for the classical is unwavering." He kept speaking, appalling himself, wondering if there was something about being around Cochrane that made people start talking like asses—some contagious speech disease. Only about half of what he was saying was true, anyway; his "reverence" for classical architecture had been doing nothing but waver for years. But she listened with care and courtesy and attention, which was partly why he kept nattering on. It was her husband—naturally—who finally shut him up by interrupting.
"That's fine, fine, but make sure I get a look at those blueprints or whatever you call them for the extra floor by next week. I'm leaving town on Tuesday."
Mrs. Cochrane looked at her husband, then back at Alex. "The extra what?"
Alex stroked his mustache. The enormity of what Cochrane wanted now, the surprise lunatic demand he'd made a few hours ago was still so fresh, so infuriating, he couldn't even bring himself to say the words out loud.
"Floor," Ben answered for him. "It's not tall enough, I want it taller. More floors. Four seems about right. Yeah, four." He crossed his hands over his stomach and leaned back in his chair until it stood on two legs.
Mrs. Cochrane sat motionless, staring down at her plate. Alex watched her covertly while Cochrane launched into a new monologue on what was wrong with Tammany Hall. When she finally looked up, he caught her eye; in it he read sympathy and—this time there was no doubt about it—amusement.
Dessert came. Over coffee, Cochrane made an abrupt announcement that the gentlemen were going to walk up the street to Canfield's casino to continue discussing plans for his house. "Sara, you can get a cab home."
Alex looked away, embarrassed. Was there no limit to the man's rudeness? Then he remembered—damnation!—he'd told Constance he'd take her to an after-theater party at ten o'clock. She was already angry with him for not bringing her to this dinner. He hadn't quite known how to explain that Draper, Snow and Ogden considered it bad form to take one's mistress to a client meeting. Now he'd have to buy Constance something to placate her; otherwise, she'd sulk for days. Not for the first time, it occurred to him that he wasn't rich enough yet for a mistress. Not one with Constance's tastes, anyway.
"Well, now, that sounds fine," Ogden exclaimed heartily and, Alex knew, insincerely. Bleeding humbug.
Mrs. Cochrane spoke up quietly. "Ben, have you forgotten it's Michael's birthday? You were gone before he woke up this morning; he hasn't seen you yet. Perhaps Mr. Ogden and Mr. McKie would like to join us at the house tonight."
"No, of course I hadn't forgotten. This is business. I'll see Michael when I get back, give him his present tomorrow." He looked over at Alex and Ogden, grinning. "Got my son a shotgun for his birthday. Four-ten smoothbore, pretty as you please."
Mrs. Cochrane's coffee cup clattered against the saucer. "You must be joking."
He looked back at her, fleshy face bland, but behind the dark eyes Alex thought he saw a quick glitter of spite. "What's wrong with that?" he asked irritably.
"He's too little to have a gun! Ben, for God's—"
"No, he's not."
Awkward pause. Alex studied his thumbnail intently.
"I say he's not," Cochrane pressed. "Seven's not too young for a boy to have a gun, is it?"
"Why, no," Ogden answered faintly. "No, indeed."
"See there, Sara? What do you say, McKie?"
Bloody hell, the son of a bitch wanted unanimity. Alex stared at him without answering until the silence stretched too tight. His mind went blank, and out of the absolute quiet he heard himself say slowly, "No, probably not. No, seven seems about right."
Cochrane thumped the table in triumph while Alex sat motionless, gazing at nothing. Ogden started talking about his four-year-old grandson. When he couldn't stand it any longer, Alex looked up. Mrs. Cochrane's eyes on him were cool and unsurprised, and in them he saw the recognition of a betrayal.

TiVo's own data shows that its users can't wait to skip past ads. But unlike Dish Network's Charlie Ergen — who has infuriated the media industry with his Hopper DVR that helps viewers to automate the process — TiVo CEO Tom Rogers keeps looking for ways to please everybody by making advertising more palatable. That brings him back to an idea that's at least as old as the Full Service Network, Time Warner's failed interactive TV experiment in the 1990s: TiVo says today that it is uniting with PayPal to offer viewers opportunities to instantly buy products that they see in certain interactive ads. If you own a TiVo DVR, or receive its service via a pay TV provider, you'll be able to "instantly purchase products with just a few clicks of the remote after an easy, one-time account setup," says TiVo GM for Content and Media Sales Tara Maitra. "PayPal's expertise in online payments, customer service, and working directly with merchants and sellers makes the entire payment process easy and trustworthy and will create a valuable experience for TiVo users and advertisers." PayPal will take care of the transaction and the advertiser will handle fulfillment.The DVR company says that it will sound out advertisers to develop PayPal-enabled TiVo ads in time for the fall 2012 television season. Will it work? I'm pessimistic. People who want to shop from their living rooms can easily turn to QVC or HSN, or — even better — go online. When they're watching a TV show, then I suspect TiVo knows better than most that what they really want is to just return to the story.
TiVo and PayPal Team For Viewers To Buy Products In TV Ads
5 Comments
Wow. Brilliant. TiVo in one move goes from a has-been to the most consumer-friendly shopping experience for viewers, pleasing advertisers and broadcasters alike while doing something that might actually be a reason to buy TiVo instead of going with the cable DVR. So simple yet so smart. The idea of a remote control with a "buy" button must have companies salivating
There are definitely ways to improve on the skimpy experience of QVC or HSN. The interactive feature gives TiVo a chance to re-create the complexity and social aspects of the shopping mall experience. Why just point a camera at some hucksters showing off their faux gems when you can allow viewers to navigate through a compelling environment and interact with other people (think: teenagers socializing at the mall, now they do that via social media).
The "stores" could contain reality TV or scripted mini-dramas that make their products more desirable. TiVo could easily take QVC and HSN's business away from them – what they're doing isn't all that compelling when compared with what's possible.
Or, TiVo partner with them to use their brands and their audience base. Because this interactive shopping isn't going to appeal to everyone, and the core audience that it appeals to, already are buying on QVC and HSN – their audience and their brands are their real value, not the crap they peddle or the boring way they peddle it.
Very interesting idea. I really liked shopaholics idea of taking it a step further and making the shopping experience more interactive, i guess one step at a time though. I hope u would still be able to skip through these enhanced commercials. This could be a feature that really sets tivo apart from their competitors. Tivo has been anouncing a lot of new stuff lately!! I would just like to see quicker and more dramatic updates to the tivo software.
Through Comcast's service, QVC viewers can shop by remote now, accounting for the same account setup delay.
TiVo's difference will be in reducing the levels of intermediaries needed, and providing advertisers with much more reliable viewer response statistics.
Just what we need – another way to make compulsive decisions to buy useless unneeded crap. We're not far away from having 500 channels of nothing but shopping networks. While millions starve

i've stayed at grand atlantis bay which is also beautiful. However, this one ticked more boxes as its closer to the theatre and an array of fab restaurants. This hotel is very quiet as there are approx 20+ rooms only..we never ate there other then in the morning as multi-choices are on our door steps.... The staff are on the ball and very helpful... One of the best 5* hotels we've stayed in Toaromina.
Tips just ask for ice and a cup by the pool after picking up bottles of water from the local cornershop.... i cant justify £4 for a bottle of water regardless of hotel.
Plan your trip when a theatre play is active.... its very romantic and the experience isn't the same anywhere else, Especially with mount etna spitting in the back ground.
Book a table at Atlantis bay from 8pm... i had lobster risotto its ticked all the boxes
Scope out the place on the first night...fab food bars Jazz bars around..
This is one of many places locals eat GRANDUCA ristorante Pizzeria ...The fillet of steak for my mains was incredible. I went to the kitchen and gave the chef a tip for a few pints.... i'm also a chef.
Dress to impress a defo...

Bus Driver Shares Gloves with Freezing Cold Student
The job of a school bus driver is quite simple; just get the kids to and from school safely and on time. But last week, one bus driver went the extra mile to make sure the kids riding on his bus were able to stay warm on the way to school.
John Lunceford, a veteran of the U.S. Army, drives a school bus in the Kennewick School District in the souther part of Washington state. It gets cold in Washington this time of year, and Lunceford has noticed that the kids on his bus aren't always dressed for the elements.
Last week on Lunceford's bus, one of the students boarded the bus in tears. His hands were beat red from waiting for the bus in freezing cold temperatures without any gloves.
So Lunceford did something about it; he gave the student his gloves. "I put my gloves on him and told him it'll be OK, it'll be OK," explains Lunceford, who's been working for the school district for three years.
After dropping the kids off at school, Lunceford went shopping, picking up 10 pairs of gloves and 10 winter hats to give to the kids on his bus that need them. Lunceford made sure that the boy he gave his own gloves to was the first to receive a new set of gloves and hat.
Lunceford has told all the kids on his route that they should come to him if they don't have a proper hat and gloves to get them through the winter months. "There was a little girl who said 'I don't have a hat,' and I said, 'I'll take care of you, sweetie,'" Lunceford recalls.
It's a small gesture on Lunceford's part, but one that will make a real difference for the kids on his bus route this winter. "I'm a grandfather, you know," he says. "No one wants a kid to suffer like that."

The New England Patriots didn't just shut down Tim Tebow in the playoffs.
They also shut down his golf game.
The Broncos quarterback was invited to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am but is too sore from the Patriots game to grip it and rip it.
"Due to the injuries, it looks like he's a no-go," tournament director Steve Worthy said.

Add climbing gears to road cycle
By Dan
from San Francisco
About Me Avid Cyclist
Used with Shimano Deore XT CS-M770 Cassette and a 9 speed chain to add climbing gears to my road bike. Everything seems to be working great. I had a local shop (Big Swingin' Cycles) install it. I'm climbing Divisidero St. from Lombard to Pac Heights in SF (25% grade...I'm told) for training. Now on to Death Ride 2011.

EZUSB to CYUSB, no devices show up | Cypress Semiconductor
EZUSB to CYUSB, no devices show up
I have an existing product on a custom board that uses the "CYPRESS EZ-USB AN2131QC 0230 ENY3506" chip, and some software that uses data from the board. Previously, we used ezusb.sys, but in order to use it on 64-bit Windows 7, I'm trying to use cyusb.sys. I've taken the following steps:
- I downloaded Cypress Suite USB 3.4.7
- I modified the .inf file in Driver\bin\wlh\x64 with the VID & PID that the product used with the older driver (I attached the file). I didn't change the guids because the previous inf file (for ezusb) didn't have them.
- I used the instructions below to disable driver signature enforcement on my workstation. A message in the corner of my screen says "Test Mode / Windows 7 / Build 7601".
- I plugged my device into a USB port
- In Device Manager, I selected the entry with a yellow exclamation mark, and browsed to the location of the .inf file I modified.
- This seems to work. Under Device status, it says "This device is working properly". When I unplug the USB cable, the entry disappears from Device Manager, and when I plug it back in, it restores the entry "MassLoad LCIB LoadCell (cyusb 3.4.7)". (It also says "Not digitally signed", but I think that should be okay).
My problem is that none of the software that uses the device, which worked fine on Windows XP, recognizes that the device is plugged in. I have multiple programs (binary executables) for using, calibrating, and managing the devices, and they all insist that there's no device connected.
Is cyusb meant to be a transparent, drop-in replacement for ezusb, or do I have the wrong idea? Will I need to rewrite parts of my programs, and if so, is there a guide or tutorial on the differences between using ezusb and cyusb?
Am I supposed to see a service running? I'm not sure, but I sort of expected to see "Cypress Generic USB Driver" in Windows Task Manager under the Services tab, and there's nothing there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Instead of the steps given in the link you mentioned, can you just do "F8 during boot" and check if your device is showing up in the host applications. Mostly the device is not visible in the applications because the signature enforcement has not been disabled.
"F8 during boot and choose Disable Driver signature enforcement"
I tried that as well, but it doesn't seem to help. When I run bcdedit.exe with no arguments, I see loadoptions -> DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and testsigning -> Yes, so I think that's working properly. My driver shows up in the Device manager, too. It's just that none of the applications detect the device.
My question is, should I expect old programs to work just by changing from the EZUSB driver to the CYUSB driver, or do I have to rewrite those programs?
I found the answer to my question here: http://www.cypress.com/?id=4&rID=32538 Yes, I will have to rewrite my applications.

Question: How is a Water/Sewer service account established?
Answer: A Water/Sewer service account is established by contacting City Hall. No meter deposit is required of property owners; however, tenants must submit a deposit of $150 to establish the account in their name and have bills sent to their mailing address. Deposits remain on file until such time the tenant moves outside Hampton city limits or becomes the owner of the serviced property in Hampton. Rental property accounts remain in the landlord's name until a deposit is submitted by the tenant.
Question: Water/Sewer Rates/Billing?
Answer: Water Flat Rate: $8.40 per month (Included in every account with water access, whether water is used or not.) Water Cost per Gallon: Tier 1 - Next 1,500 gallons for $0.00560/gallon Tier 2 - Next 4,000 gallons for $0.004/gallon Tier 3 - Next 60,000 gallons for $0.00255/gallon Tier 4 - Over 65,000 gallons for $0.00160/gallon (For actual cost/gallon, multiply gallons consumed by cost/gallon in appropriate tier, then add totals from each tier to calculate bill.) Water Tax: 7% Sewer Flat Rate: $22.36 per month (Included in every account with sewer access, whether sewer is used or not.) Sewer Cost per Gallon: Tier 1 - 0-15,000 gallons for $0.00174/gallon Tier 2 - Over 15,000 gallons for $0.00149/gallon Sewer Tax: 7% (Sewer gallons & water gallons are always equal.

Question: High water usage possible causes?
Answer: Possible clues to higher water consumption: Seeping valves in toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and other fixtures or equipment connected to waterlines. Water softener cycles may need resetting. Check for leaking pipes or fittings and make sure outside faucet(s) are shut off completely and not dripping. Water leak tests: Stop water usage for one hour. Document meter reading at beginning & end of that hour. If meter advances without usage, a leak is confirmed and should be further investigated. Flush toilet once, and after tank has refilled, add several drops of dark food coloring into tank. Wait several minutes, then check toilet bowl for changed water color. If color has transferred into bowl without flushing, tank ball or flapper needs to be adjusted or replaced. Toilet that needs the handle jiggled after flushing is also an indication of a source of excess usage and need for repairs. Water usage also tends to be higher during summer months; more activity in homes with school-aged children, watering of lawns & plants, car washing, more frequent bathing & swimming pools.

The City does not charge a fee for this service, but the customer to should check with their bank on any service charges that might be accessed to their bank account. City Hall is not equipped to process payments by debit or credit card.
Question: Why is there a penalty on my water/sewer bill?
Answer: All water bills show a penalty amount that will be assessed if full payment is NOT PAID by the 20th of the month.

Question: Under what circumstances does the City disconnect water?
Answer: The City disconnects water service for the following reasons: 1) Past due accounts after Reminder Notice deadline has expired ($50 Reconnect Fee also assessed); 2) Upon request of property owner so repairs can be made; 3) Upon request of property owner for seasonal or temporary vacancy of residence ($10 reconnect fee to re-establish service); 4) Upon request by landlord for rental properties vacated or involving tenant disputes ($10 reconnect fee to re-establish service) 5) Scheduled water main repairs (advanced notice of at least 24 hours is given to occupants of affected properties; 5)Emergency disconnects are necessary without warning if a water main requires immediate repair (the City gives notice via local radio & makes every effort to restore water service as quickly as possible).

Further US country hits followed with Undo The Right and Marty Robbins classic song You Gave Me A Mountain, before moving to RCA Records and the biggest single of his career with Willie Nelsons Whiskey River. He became known as the Country Caruso.
In 1975 Bush developed cancer of the throat and it was thought that he might not sing again. However, in 1982 he and...

Newfield Exploration Company plans to combine its Onshore Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain business units into one operating region, located in The Woodlands, Texas. The reorganization of these regional operating units will better align Newfield's workforce with near-term drilling and asset management plans and create future cost efficiencies. As part of this restructuring, Newfield plans to close its offices in Denver, Colorado, and North Houston (Greenspoint area). Newfield will continue to manage its growing operations in the Mid-Continent from its regional office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"We are aggressively pushing for cost efficiencies in our operations and working to improve our margins in today's lower oil price environment," said Lee K. Boothby, Newfield Chairman, President and CEO. "The combination of two operating regions into one will reduce our future G&A costs, increase collaboration between teams and allow us to quickly transfer key technical expertise to our most active projects. Our near-term plans are focused on drilling in the Anadarko Basin's SCOOP and STACK plays where we are fortunate to have strong and improving returns at today's oil prices."
Newfield expects that the one-time costs associated with this restructuring plan will approximate $20 million and will be recorded primarily in the second half of 2015.

Martin Crowe for me. Really hope he gets through his current illness.
Don't get me wrong, an awful lot to admire about AB & am a fan myself, but I'm surprised an Indian-affiliated Victorian would have an NSW-born QLDer as his hero instead of (say) Kapil Dev or (racks brain for decent Vics who were contemporaries of AB, fails) Merv Hughes.

Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
I thought he liked AB the individual/player and not the Aus team in general and why not, you get inspired in your life by various people so why not an Aussie..Muhammed Ali an American has inspired many Africans and beyond and him dying would be a big loss for many..

Eunice Sanborn
November 4, 2010 by staff
Eunice Sanborn, The Dean of the Catalan region, Marcelle Narbonne, aged 112 years, on Thursday became the Dean 16 of the world and vice-dean of the French territory. This change in the world ranking comes after death, that same Thursday, the doyenne of the French Eugenie Blanchard, at the age of 114 years. To date, the oldest person in the world is the American Eunice Sanborn, aged 114 years. Marcelle Narbonne, born in Algeria March 25, 1898 and arrived in France at the country's independence in 1962, lives in a retirement home "The Capucines" in Argelès. This "supercentenarian," according to modern terminology used to refer to people aged over 110 years, gives itself admits sometimes a glass of muscat, not able to explain the secrets of his longevity. The doyenne of French Deep South, which has no maximum age in Spain, his mental faculties essential, but tends to make the speech for several years, the benefit of communication with the look. Without medical treatment, this very old lady, who never had children, has a gene that promotes longevity, equality of centenarians in the world.

The Boo Radley Project was founded in February 2011 on a mutual obsession for the literary character, Boo Radley. The 5 piece, Elora/Guelph based band fuses jazz, funk, and alternative music with a quirky and dynamic stage presence. Their live shows are an energetic, multimedia production featuring homemade projections and colourful lights. They've toured across Southern Ontario and the East Coast. The band staged a 36 kilometer walking concert for Hawaii's dolphins and has played on festival stages at Hillside and Riverfest Elora. The band is currently in the process recording and mixing its first full length LP. The album is set to be released in early summer 2015.

The leader and founder of the Royal City Saxophone Quartet, Ernie is a graduate of the University of Waterloo in Mathematics and Music. A native of Peterborough, Ontario, Ernie now calls Elora home. He studied piano briefly from the age of eight, and became more serious about music at age 12 when he picked up the saxophone. He played his first professional gig at 14, and was active in dance bands, concert bands, Dixieland, R&B, and saxophone quartets. Saving up his paper-route money, he bought his first tenor sax on his 16th birthday with some help from his dad – Ernie Sr. He studied saxophone at Humber College with Pat LaBarbera, and later in North Carolina with James Houlik. He has played in numerous bands and has traveled to many jazz events and festivals throughout the United States and Canada. His many influences include Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Sonny Stitt, and Hank Mobley. Learn more at www.erniekalwa.com
Sam Boer has come a long way since his passion for the plastic recorder earned him second place in the Kiwanis festival at the tender age of eleven. Stretching, twisting, and decorating the structures and sounds of folk music, Sam's eclectic pieces are driven by open-heart lyrics. Since his debut EP, Audible Smiles, was released in 2012, Sam has pushed the boundaries of both his musicality and his sanity through an array of diverse projects: writing, performing, and giving his soul to the self-titled LP of Guelph-based band Bedsheets; drumming and singing for London-based collective The Breath and the Bellows; and, most recently, providing music (as well as acting) for the show This Is Not Porn at the Toronto Fringe Festival. Between days working at a summer camp, Sam is preparing for another solo release, tinkering with more collaborative projects, and giving his cats ample belly rubs.

The Fergus Pipe Band was founded in 1927. This band has the distinction of being one of only a few Ontario based pipe bands that have been continuously active for over 85 years.The Fergus Pipe Band is proud of its tradition and the fact that like most pipe bands they have attracted a mix of members from diverse backgrounds. The band has active players ranging in age from 13 to over 80. Currently there are students in the teaching program from the age of 8 to over 40. Brothers play in the band, spouses too, father and son, mother and daughter.
From early days the Fergus Pipe Band has enjoyed the support of their community. Merchant James Russell provided the lumber and the site for the members of the pipe band to run a refreshment stand in Fergus to raise funds for uniforms. Thanks to this venture and the generosity of local citizens sufficient funds were raised to purchase the first uniforms. The first parade in full uniform took place in June 1931 when the band led the 'Independent Order of Oddfellows' (IOOF) church parade in Fergus.
The continued support of the community including the Fergus (275) and Elora (229) branches of the Royal Canadian Legion have been an important factor in the success of the band. The Fergus Curling Club increases the band's profile during their bonspiels when curlers are led on to the ice by pipers and drummers from the Fergus Pipe Band. The Fergus Pipe Band wears the MacKenzie tartan. Two founding members of the band served with the Seaforth Highlanders in the first World War and as this was the tartan worn by that regiment it was a natural choice.
For decades, the Fergus Pipe Band has enjoyed a solid reputation as a street band. The band has participated in parades locally in Fergus and Elora and regionally in Kitchener/Waterloo. In addition they have performed and marched in various towns and cities throughout the province. Visitors to the 'Fergus Highland Games' will have seen the Fergus Pipe Band performing on the field during the Tattoo or somewhere on the grounds during that weekend in August.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 2nd
Beach Bodies is a five piece group from Guelph, Ontario. Comprised of local high school seniors with diverse musical backgrounds, the band channels the controlled chaos of the Pixies, Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, and the Beastie Boys. Recently, the band released their debut EP and has been playing shows locally.
Ian Reid is a singer-songwriter living in his hometown of Rockwood, Ontario. Ian has a passion for a good story and the poignancy of everyday life in small communities. Ian's song writing reflects what we can and can't change and often leaves listeners remarking on the parallels to his lyrics with their own lives. Since returning from years of overseas teaching in 2008, Ian has played over 300 shows, earning much respect from his musical peers and fans alike. As a returning Grassland performer, Reid's music is guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
"I just saw the best band in Canada!" said Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings back in 1993. History says he was wrong. What happened? The usual… girlfriends, infighting, delusions of grandeur, too much Kraft Dinner and Pizza Hut. While their friends the Gandharvas went on to produce one of the great Canadian songs of the 90′s, "The First Day of Spring," Safe As Milk tragically descended into a vicious cycle of adjusted family life. While they continue to suffer from raging addictions to sleeping in their own beds and watching their kids play sports, their longevity is a byproduct of that fateful day when they sat despondent and without a recording contract (remember those? no you don't) around Doug Breen's kitchen table in 1995. Planning to end it all, they ultimately concluded; "Why???" Not because Tom Wilson was right, though on some nights he may well have been. Guitarists Bob and Doug Breen were stuck with each other for eternity as first cousins anyway, and when you might be the best band in Canada, the least you can do for your country is play a few shows a year. Somewhere along the line Rob Blanchette, the guy who co-wrote and played bass on "First Day of Spring," joined them. So did drummer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Matt Weston (The Dyadics). Arguably, they got even better. So what does that make them now? The best band in the universe? Regardless, Safe As Milk love each other dearly and would like to entertain you… and that's really what it's all about isn't it?
Lowlands started as a house band to entertain the admission line up at the Great Hall in Toronto. The instrumentation of the group perfectly supported the songwriting of Gordon Auld and Abe Del Bel Belluz and eventually they started to bring both their country, delta blues, bluegrass sound into venues, art openings and coffee houses across the city. After a slight line up change, the band relocated to Guelph Ontario where they have received critical acclaim amongst friends and fans, and have garnered attention from festivals, promoters and industry professionals.

my husband loses his erection while we are having sex is it because of me??
Mimi - The male erection is a complicated physical event that can be affected by both physical and psychological factors. Although it may have something to do with the relationship between you and your husband there are lots of other factors that could be getting in the way. Getting a physical work up is always the first step. If the two of you have found your relationship strained for one reason or another try talking with him about the relationship in general and your sex life together, in particular, and whether there is the need for some outside intervention.
Rick Wirtz
Hi Mimi,
Unless you are applying something to yourself that is causing your husband to lose his erection, I doubt seriously that you are the cause. There are many things that can cause erectile dysfunction. Almost all men experience ED at some time in their life regardless of age. In fact, one of the resident experts here Healthgal, just wrote a sharepost called "40 over 40 is the new ED awareness slogan." In the article, Healthgal writes: "a new survey reveals that most guys who hit the age of 40 are unaware that ED may come knocking at their door. The reality is that 40% of men over age 40 experience some ED." You can read the entire article here.
If you and your husband feel it is a concern, the best thing to do is to see your doctor. While online sites like HealthCentral.com are great resources for information they can not take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice. The best thing is to research all the information available and use it to ask all the right questions so that you and your doctor manage your care to the best of your abilities.
Here are some links to help you understand what could be happening, and give you the information that will help you when (or if) it's time to see the doctor.
Here is some information that might give you some ideas on how to approach this. You can read about erectile dysfunction here, the basics and what some of the causes are. The symptoms are listed here. There is a good section about coping here that might have some information you find helpful. Should your husband be diagnosed with ED, you can read about drugs commonly prescribed and treatments here.
Whoops! I hit send too soon!!
Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you have and I hope you will stay in touch and let us know how you and your husband are doing!

Minneapolis, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Today at the Microsoft Worldwide
Partner Conference 2005, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) unveiled its Small Business
Specialist Community, a unique offering to provide unparalleled business opportunities
to partners that specialize in delivering innovative solutions and services to
the small-business segment.
The Small Business Specialist Community, available as a competency-like designation
as part of the Microsoft(R) Partner Program, was developed in response to input
from customers and partners that expressed a need to build easier connections
that enable small-business customers to quickly and easily identify technology
partners best suited to support them. Microsoft spent significant time closely
collaborating with its vast partner community and is currently running trials
in Italy and Denmark to ensure the new offering meets that need while offering
immediate value to partners. To enroll, partners can go to https://partner.microsoft.com/smallbizspecreadiness.
"Microsoft is committed to helping small businesses around the world be more
efficient and better serve their customers through the use of technology," said
Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of small business for the Small and Midmarket
Solutions and Partner Group at Microsoft. "Microsoft offers solutions that have
been custom-made for small businesses, like Windows(R)
Small Business Server 2003. Now we're taking another step, this time with our
partners, to help better serve this important customer segment. With resources
like the partner locator tool in the Microsoft Small Business Center site and
the Small Business Specialist Community announced today, we'll make it much easier
for the 41 million small businesses around the world to identify those partners
in Microsoft's network that are best able to address their specific needs. We
are confident this offering will help our valued industry partners reach their
full potential by creating more visibility, opportunity and demand in the small-business
Partners such as Torben Hoiberg, director of FLC Danmark ApS, who took part in
the initial pilot programs would agree with Guggenheimer about the opportunity
that exists. "We were excited to participate in Microsoft's Small Business
Specialist Community pilot. We've been working with small-business customers for
a long time, and we're always looking for opportunities to expand our presence,"
said Hoiberg. "This special designation has proved instrumental in helping
us get broader recognition among customers as small-business experts, and has
expanded our customer base. As a result of the Small Business Specialist designation,
we have seen an increase of 191 percent in revenue."
Qualifying as a Small Business Specialist will entitle partners to targeted resources
and benefits from the Microsoft Partner Program including access to training specifically
designed for the small-business industry, small-business marketing materials for
reuse, special partner offers, and the ability to use the Small Business Specialist
logo in marketing materials.
For example, Computer Associates International Inc. (CA) will offer a special
Show and Sell Kit, with a value of $2,000 (U.S.), that allows qualified Small
Business Specialists to experience firsthand all features, functions and benefits
of CA's new Business Protection Suites designed for Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server 2003. The Small Business Specialist Community will add value to the full
spectrum of partners that service the small-business segment including the following:
— Registered Members. The new offering is optimized for
Members that have demonstrated their expertise and are looking for
Microsoft to recognize their skills and unique business models tailored
specifically for small-business customers. It also establishes a logo
partners can leverage and unique marketing benefits.
— Certified and Gold Certified Partners. For Certified and
Gold Certified
Microsoft partners that already serve small businesses, this
designation will help further differentiate their solution specialty to
the small-business market.
— System Builders. Being designated a small business specialist
offer system builders the opportunity to highlight their expertise in
building PC and server systems that are based on Microsoft technologies
in order to deliver products and services that are customized for the
small-business segment. Registered system builders that join the Small
Business Specialist Community will be provided with a clear road map
for moving up to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Hardware
Solutions Competency with a System Builder specialization at the
Certified or Gold Certified levels as their hardware sales grow.

A wave of bombs exploded in markets in mainly Shi'ite neighbourhoods across Baghdad on Monday, killing more than 50 people in the latest attacks to increase fears Iraq risks sliding back into broad sectarian conflict.
While no group claimed Monday's blasts, Sunni Muslim Islamist insurgents and al-Qaeda' s Iraqi wing have increased attacks since the beginning of the year and often target Shi'ite districts to try to trigger wider confrontation.
At least 11 blasts tore into busy markets and shopping areas in districts across the Iraqi capital, including twin bombs just several hundred meters apart that killed at least 13 people in the Sadr City area, police and hospital officials said.
Bombings on Shi'ite and Sunni mosques, security forces and Sunni tribal leaders over a month-long surge in violence are deepening worries Iraq may tip back into the kind of widescale Shi'ite against Sunni slaughter that killed thousands in 2006-2007.
Tensions between the Shi'ite leadership and the country's Sunni Muslim minority are at their worst since American troops left in December 2011, and the conflict in Syria is also straining Iraq's fragile communal balance.
