Pitcairn Map
Pitcairn Island is one of the most isolated islands in the South Pacific. Despite numerous announcements and much controversy, an airport has yet to be constructed on Pitcairn Island, and getting there involves a two-day sea voyage from Mangareva in French Polynesia. Cruise ships call occasionally between Easter Island and Tahiti, but their passengers only go ashore for a few hours, weather permitting.
Pitcairn Island's history is entwined in the famous story of the mutiny on the Bounty. First sighted by the son of Major Pitcairn aboard HMS Swallow in 1767, Pitcairn Island was forgotten until 1789 when the Bounty mutineers led by Fletcher Christian decided it would be the perfect hideout from the Royal Navy. They settled there, burning their ship in Bounty Bay on January 15, 1790. By 1800 all of the mutineers except John Adams had died.
Pitcairn Island was only rediscovered by the outside world in 1808 when an American sealer happened to call for water. The 50 native inhabitants on Pitcairn Island today are all descended from the Bounty mutineers and their 18 Polynesian followers. In 1838 the island group shown on our Pitcairn Islands map was declared a British colony, a status maintained until this time.
The local economy depends heavily on British government aid, although money is also earned through the sale of Pitcairn stamps and coins. Family-made handicrafts are sold to cruise ship passengers. If you'd care to visit Pitcairn Island and neighboring Henderson Island, you'll have a chance to do so in June 2006 when the MV Bounty Bay sails from Mangareva on a two-week cruise to the Pitcairn Islands.

Algoma Harvester was built in 2014, is 740 feet long and flies the Canadian flag
|Click here for other pages featuring the Algoma Harvester
|Above, on July 13, 2016, the Algoma Harvester arrived Duluth at 11 am and went to the Riverland Ag dock in Duluth to load grain. It was only her 3rd trip here since she was built in 2014, her first this year. She was here twice last year, both times loading iron ore pellets at the BNSF in Superior.
|Denny Dushane was kind enough to send me some pictures he took of the Algoma Harvester, a new build that is expected to arrive here on Sunday, December 20, 2015 to load iron ore pellets at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe ore dock in Superior. He also provided the commentary below.
|The photos were taken of the Algoma Harvester in St. Clair, MI. on September 14, 2015 as she was upbound "light and in ballast." They were coming from Trois Rivieres, Quebec after unloading a cargo of wheat from Thunder Bay, Ontario and were now returning and heading back up to Thunder Bay, Ontario to load another cargo of wheat this time for Baie Comeau, Quebec. The Algoma Harvester is the 2nd Equinox class vessel built at the Nantong Mingde Heavy Industries shipyard in Nantong City, China. She follows the Algoma Equinox the 1st in the series delivered in late 2013 and the CWB Marquis delivered in late 2014.Algoma Harvester was christened on December 25, 2013 and departed the shipyard on May 18, 2014. After crossing the Pacific Ocean, the ship arrived at the Pacific Entrance of the Panama Canal on June 27 to anchor awaiting clearance. They cleared the anchorage on June 28 and transited the Panama Canal then. The Algoma Harvester after clearing the Panama Canal, arrived in Port Cartier, Quebec on July 11, 2014 to load its first official cargo which was iron ore pellets for Hamilton, Ontario.
Later on, the Algoma Harvester arrived in Hamilton on July 15 where it was then officially christened in a Christening Ceremony at Pier 21 on July 17. After the Christening Ceremony, the ship immediately moved over to Pier 26 in Hamilton to unload its first cargo of iron ore pellets at the Arcelor Mittal/Dofasco Steel Dock.Its usual cargoes are wheat from Thunder Bay, Ontario to the St. Lawrence River ports and then backhauling iron ore pellets from either Port Cartier or Sept Isles, Quebec to Hamilton and then back up to Thunder Bay to load for the St. Lawrence.

Tomb Raider: The Braid Of Aphrodite Part 1
by Muhabba
Lara Croft, the media dubbed "Tomb Raider" hated this part of her chosen vocation. As a world famous archeologist she traveled the globe searching out the mysteries of the past and bringing them back for all the world to study and see. She had traveled to the four corners of the world and covered every terrain possible. She had encountered hidden tribes of proud warriors, thugs only out for a quick buck, assassins who would stop at nothing to stop her and creatures out of the fogs of myth. And she had never failed. She always brought back the very objects she had sought. And now she had to pay. Pay at the opening night of the museum's new exhibit "The Lost Tribe of Aphrodite". The only thing that could make Lara Croft cringe, "Gala Parties".
It had taken Lara most of a year of research and 2 months of hard trekking before she had found the Lost Temple of Love. A group of ancient Greeks had set sail for new lands in order to worship Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, exclusively. Finding a lush land they settled quickly into two camps: Male and Female. Each camp worked independently of the others and each camp had it own warriors, it's own hunters, its own farmers and it own leaders.
Each camp was entirely self contained and had nothing to do with the other except for twice a year. On one occasion during the year both camps would meet for a month long orgy. And for a full thirty days both camps would engage in every wonton sex act imaginable. Nothing was taboo and all in the name of the goddess Aphrodite. Any child born later would then be sent to their respectively gendered camp.
On the other occasion during the year both camps would meet and send out raiding parties for slaves, in order to keep the bloodlines from intermingling too much. Only the most beautiful people were kidnapped and brought back to the camps. The males took the females and vice versa. The slaves were raped repeatedly until a child was conceived and when the child was born the slave would be freed. But the thing Lara found intriguing was that none of the slaves left. They preferred to stay and from what she had found, none had ever rebelled. They preferred their new lives. Outside of a ritual involving a golden knife said to be made from a braid of Aphrodite's hair. Lara hadn't been able to find a reason why.
After Lara had found the temple she and a team had explored every nook and cranny. In fact, she should be there right now, their work was barely half done but the museum had insisted on mounting the exhibition early with a gala opening and Lara Croft, the "Tomb Raider" was the star.
Although loath to admit it, Lara could understand why people were always paying attention to her. In spite of the fact she was one of the top archeologists on the planet, she was also drop-dead gorgeous. She was taller than average with long, smooth and muscular legs leading up to toned thighs and round hips. She had a tight, athletic ass with a small waist and firm stomach. Shw had a large chest with wide, graceful shoulders and a almost swan like neck. Her face was warm and inviting with full, pouting lips and a cute upturned nose and wide, soulful eyes. Her eyes were the same chocolate brown as her hair which was usually pulled back from her face in a long braid flowing down the curve of her back and to just above the dimples of her ass.
Lara knew that her striking features and body were enough to turn the head of almost anyone, but she knew what her best features were. Lara was blessed with the firmest 38 DD breasts that she had ever seen. They were in fact her one vanity. She kept her tight, toned body maintained through exercise for her extreme activities but her breasts were maintained with loving care. She used only the finest body wash to clean her breasts and only the softest of clothes. She could easily spend an hour lightly running the warm, sudsy cloth lightly over the wet skin of her breasts and nipples. Her favorite treatments for her wonderfully massive breasts always came after the shower, in bed.
Lara always slept nude, loving the feel of her silk sheets rubbing against her naked body. She would lay back on her bed with only a single candle flame on her bedside table. Next she would gather a small amount of imported lotion in her hands and slowly cover each of her giant mounds. Her puffy nipples were nearly always hard and she enjoyed running her slick finger tips around each one. Lovingly caressing each large orb and making sure each breast was covered entirely. Often her loving ministrations excited her and she would begin massaging her tits and scraping her hard nipples across the palms of her hands. It wouldn't take long before she would begin squeezing, nearly mauling each large tit in a sexual fever, the tan flesh nearly oozing out from between her fingers. And then she would cum, her thighs clamping together as her pussy throbbed. Lara was proud that she could make herself cum from just having her breasts played with and enjoyed the sensations nearly every night. Her special gift to herself. And that was exactly what she had planned after this tiresome party.
Lara had arrived at the party in her own limo and exited from the rear of the vehicle to the excited flash of cameras. She had worn simple, black, high heeled shoes that tied around her ankles and added a few more inches to her all ready long legs. She also wore black, sheer stockings that inched up her legs to just a inch or two below the junction of her tan thighs. Her panties were a transparent thong that matched her stockings and kept a panty line from showing threw her dress. The dress itself was a simple, black, silk dress that came almost down to her ankles with a slit up one side that ended only a inch below the top of her stockings. The top of her dress came up to only a few inches above her always erect nipples and were held up by two slim straps and showcased a great deal of tan cleavage. Her hair was pulled back in its usual braid and left her striking face bare so everybody could see the smirk running across her plump lips.
Since she was going to have to endure this tedious party before she could engage in her little nightly ritual, Lara decided to treat herself by going braless. Now with every slinky step she took, a small ripple went through her vast expanse of tan cleavage. The seer, naughty thought of all these people staring in lust at her nearly unbound, jiggling tits caused her nipples and pussy to positively throb as she made her way up to the red carpet. She didn't usually do interviews but tonight she stopped and chatted with only the shortest reporters. Having to bend down to reach the mics was nearly causing her massive tits to spill out into the cool evening air each time she answered a question.
Finally making her way inside Lara faced the elite of England and their families. She wasn't sure she approved of bringing children to a exhibit about the Goddess of Love considering what the followers had done but it appeared that the museum had kept the exhibit pretty tame.
Making her way through the groups of people waiting for the tours to begin Lara greeted the guests, shook their hands and flashed her cleavage whenever the naughty impulse took her. At one point she noticed one of the children stumble into one of the displays and she rushed over to save it. The display was the "Braid of Aphrodite", the knife used in the ritualistic rapes of slaves which nicked one of her fingers and drew a small about of blood as she caught it.
The display had been set off in a dark corner and no one had noticed yet what had happened as Lara sat kneeling and holding the boys shoulder with one hand and the knife with her other. She was lucky she had only been a few feet away when she had noticed the boy trip into the display, he may have broken it otherwise.
"I'm... I'm so sorry mum. I... I just wanted to look. It was so pretty. I... I just tripped was all. I didn't mean it," the boy stammered before falling into sudden silence.
Lara reached past the boy and righted the stand and knife, "No harm done this time. But you should be more careful."
Kneeling down further to finish speaking to the boy, Lara noticed what had caused his sudden silence. Having moved so quickly to save the knife she had ran and lunged and the quick movement had caused her large, silky breasts to fall partly out of her dress.
Lara's large tits were eye level with the boy and her erect nipples were pointing straight at him. She usually suntanned topless and her brown orbs gleamed under the special party lighting.
A warm, loving look came over Lara's face, "What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a woman's breasts before?
The boy barely shook his head no.
"Then I am honored to be the first." Lara said as she slowly scooped her massive tits one at a time completely out of the front of her dress.
The boy stood transfixed at the first pair of breasts he had ever seen and possibly the best pair he would ever see. Each heavy orb hung perfectly without even a hint of sag.
"And since you have never seen a woman's breasts it would be safe to assume you've never touched a woman's breasts. Is that correct?" Lara asked as she grasped each of the boy's wrists and brought them up to her chest.
The boy could barely shake his head as he felt Lara's tits fill up the palms of his hands. The skin was so warm, firm but yielding and so very smooth. The boy slowly ran his palms around and around Lara's hard nipples as he lovingly, reverently, caressed her tits.
A coo of satisfaction escaped past Lara's moist lips as she asked, "And since you have never touched a woman's breasts we can safely assume you have never tasted one?"
The boy couldn't move his head to answer as Lara placed one of her hands behind his head and pulled him forward and used her other hand to raise one of her heavy orbs up to the boy's lips.
The young boy immediately latched on to Lara's massive tit and began to suck. The boy's lips encircled the hard nipple and areola and began he sucking like a infant. A shiver ran down Lara's body as her dripping pussy convulsed with an orgasm. The boy sucked harder and harder, his warm tongue lashing back and forth and his saliva dripping out of the corners of his mouth. Both of the boy's hands gripped onto the sides of her tingling tits, pushing them together and smothering his face with the warm flesh.
The boy was sucking so hard and loud that it reminded Lara of the sounds a calf would make while nursing. Another sudden orgasm tore through her and her pussy gushed when the boy accidently bit down a little on her throbbing nipple. Smiling, she removed the hand she was using to hold her tit to the boy's mouth and gently reached down between the young boy's legs to this groin. She felt the small bulge of the boy's hard little dick and gave it a gentle squeeze.
Lara whispered to the boy, "Cum for me." And the boy immediately began humping his little dick against the palm of her hand.
Lara had never thought of using such a young child for sexual gain before but having this young boy nursing at her giant tit and dry humping the palm of her hand sent her over the edge again as a third orgasm pulsed through her, completely drenching her black thong. As the aftershock rippled though her body she gently cupped the boy's groin more firmly and felt him shoot his first ever load of cum into his pants.
The boy pulled his mouth away from Lara's heaving tit with a wet pop and looked up at her with wide, doe eyes.
Lara smiled at the boy as she bent forward and plunged her tongue into his mouth for his first real kiss. Pulling back from the boy with a wet strand of saliva stretching from her mouth to his before it broke off and landed in her tan cleavage.
"Tell your parents you need to use the restroom and then meet me in the last stall. We'll get you cleaned up then, O.k. lover?" Lara said as she ruffled the kid's hair before wiping his saliva from around her nipple and placing both of her large, golden orbs back into her dress.
The boy's eyes continued to stare at Lara's tits as he quickly nodded and ran back into the crowd of people. Lara smiled as she watched the boy before standing up and making her way to the men's restroom. Quickly checking to make sure the restroom was unoccupied she made her way to the sinks to make up some wet washcloths and then to the last stall to wait.
Only a few minutes passed before Lara heard the scuttling of little feet and the stall door opened. "Quickly. Get inside lover." Lara grinned as she pulled the boy in by his bow tie and latched the door shut behind him.
Lara got down on her knees and deeply kissed the boy again. Her pink tongue quickly pushing past his lips and into his warm mouth. "Hmmm. You're going to be a good kisser one day." She smiled as she quickly unbuckled and unfastened his pants. She quickly pulled his pants down his skinny legs and lifted his feet up one at a time in order to pull them completely off.
"Up on the toilet lid, boy. Up you go." Lara grinned at the boy as he tried to jump up on the toilet lid, nearly losing his balance until she place her hands on each of his tender little ass-cheeks in order to balance him. She quickly used the damp wash rag to clean out the inside of the boy's now sticky under wear as he stood on the toilet bowl facing her and his proud little prick pointed straight at her.
"Oh my." Lara cooed, "What a pretty, little prick you have lover." She reached up to the straps of her dress and pulled them down her broad shoulders and released her massive tits completely. Lara smiled with pride as the boy's eyes widened and his jaw went slack at his first unobstructed view of her impressive chest.
Lara pulled the top of her dress down to just above her waist before raising her hands up to the boy's groin. The young boy's prick was erect but still small because of his age and with only a couple of fingers she began to lovingly massage his hairless, cum filled balls while she used the first two fingers and thumb of her other hand to slowly jack him off.
Lara stared up at the boy's wide-eyed face and whispered, "Cum for me lover. Cover my tits with you love."
The boy suddenly shot his load. Thick, creamy spurts jetted out of his hard little dick, covering Lara's heaving mounds. As the first shot of the boys cum landed on her tits she yelled out as another orgasm tore through her body. Her pussy and nipples pulsed with sexual excitement at the feel of the boy's illicit cum covering her massive tits.
As the boy's small cock began to slowly soften Lara released her delicate grip on his privates and smiled up at him. "Did you enjoy that lover?"
The boy shivered every time she called him "Lover". "Y... yes mum."
Lara looked down at her exposed chest. She loved the way her tits looked covered in the boy's cum. "Well lover. It seems we came in here to clean you up and instead made a mess of me."
A blush of shame covered the boys face as his lower lip pouted outward.
"Don't worry lover." Lara whispered as she leaned up a bit and licked the boy's trembling lip. "We'll get everyone sorted out."
Lara raised herself up until her breasts were nearly level with the boy's face and lifted up one of her large tits to just in front of him. She bent her head forward and extended her pink tongue, lapping at the boy's pearly white cum covering her tit. She used long, slow strokes to lick up the boy-cum, moaning low in her throat at the taste of the boys silky cream. Extracting all the cum off the first tit Lara slowly used her tongue to slowly circle the hard nipple, shivering at the sensation before starting the whole process over again with the other tit.
Lara gripped the boys slender, white hips, "Now hold steady, lover," and bent forward. Opening her mouth she used her tongue to catch the boy's balls and drew him into her mouth. With the boy's small size both his cock and balls easily fit into her mouth. She immediately moaned low in the back of her throat at the feel and taste of this young boy's most private parts.
Lara used her warm, pink tongue to massage the boy's cock and balls. First running her tongue lovingly across each of his balls. Next she traced the underside of his prick, following the big vein and ending at the head of his prick. She did this several times as she took one of her hands away from his hips and began using to maul her tits. She squeezed and kneaded the firm flesh of her tits, pinching and squeezing first one nipple and then the other as her pussy drooled it's juice down the inside of her thighs.
With a sudden grunt the boy lost all sense of self control and began humping his groin like a jack-hammer into Lara's face. She smiled in satisfaction as she reached both her hands around the boy to grasp his tender, little ass-cheeks to steady him and keep him from falling off the toilet. As she squeezed each tender, little ass-cheek the boy finally erupted into the gorgeous woman's eager mouth with his thick, hot cum. Another orgasm tore through Lara as she hugged the boy's groin to her face, swallowing every silky drop of cum as he continued to shoot into her mouth.
After a minute of sucking down all the boy's cum Lara pulled away from the boy, her chest heaving as she sucked down every drop of cum and saliva from his spent and softening dick and deflated balls. The boy nearly fell as he collapsed but Lara caught him and held him lovingly and sweetly to her tan breasts. "Oh that was good lover. Such a good, little man you are." She cooed to him.
Lara hummed a child's nursery rhyme as she sat in front of the boy on the toilet and used the wash cloth to clean him even further. When she finished, Lara helped him get his pants back on and made sure he looked presentable.
"Now you be a good boy and return to your parents. Make sure you don't tell anyone about this." Lara said as she started to fuss with his hair.
"I won't mum. I promise." The boy beamed at Lara.
"I noticed you were here with two adults with a little girl. Are they your parents."
"Yes mum. And the girl's my sister Lucy."
"Would you like to visit me at my estate..." A confused look spread across Lara's face. "I'm sorry. I never asked your name, love."
"Alex, mum. My name's Alex."
"My lover Alex." Lara finished with Alex's hair and leaned forward to kiss him, running her tongue past his lips and caressing his tongue. "Would you and your sister like to visit me at my estate Alex."
"Yes, mum! Very much, mum!" The boy exclaimed.
"Good then. Head out to your parents and make sure you don't tell anyone about what's happened. I'll follow along after a bit to talk to your parents. Remember, to tell no one about this, o.k.?"
"Yes, mum. It'll be our secret, mum."
"Good. Now run along, my little lover Alex." Lara smiled down at the boy. Giving him a gentle squeeze on his little ass Lara stood up to readjust herself as Alex ran out of the stall.
Alex made a sudden stop as he exited the stall before resuming and running out of the restroom.
Finally containing her bountiful breasts Lara exited the stall and saw the reason for Alex's sudden stop. A security guard had entered the restroom while she had been molesting her young, new lover and he now simply stood against the row of sinks with a shocked look on his face.

I meant to get one or two posts out last week but had some things come up and wasn't able to. I might be publishing less over the next few weeks, but should get back to normal by the end of August/early September. My apologies.
Also, some unfortunate news: I've had to delete my reading Aristotle and reading Aquinas posts. I had thought that quoting from texts for the intention of commentary/educational purposes was allowed by fair use under copyright laws, and it is, but I recently discovered that quoting whole chapters might be pushing it. This was quite disappointing, as I had put quite a significant amount of time and work into those posts, and deleting one's work is always difficult; but, it's always better to be safe rather than sorry. In the future, I may continue the series but in different formats, with less direct quoting and more personal commentary. We'll see. If I do that, eventually I may go back and do the same for the old chapters I'd already gone through, but that would be a lot of extra work. Anyways, my apologies for this as well.
Thanks and God bless,

Flickr photo by hiltonsandestinWhen I was six months pregnant, I went on a babymoon. I was living in NYC at the time and definitely wanted to get out of the city. I love the beach, but I knew I wouldn't last long baking in the sand and probably wouldn't feel too safe dodging waves in the ocean.
I didn't want to leave the country and have to worry about drinking water or (worse-case scenario) needing medical attention. (I was also traveling solo. My boyfriend bailed when I was 11 weeks pregnant.) What I really wanted to do was rest, relax -- and get pampered. I chose ...
Palm Springs, California. I spent four luxurious days at Parker Palm Springs. In those blissful days, I indulged in a facial, prenatal massage, spa pedicure, and more. I lounged by a saline oval-shaped pool while a gentle, dry breeze tickled my nose. The horizon ahead poked with palm trees, and at sunset the sky exploded in purple and orange and pink -- it glimmered.
It gets better.
I feasted on comfort foods like taco salad and lobster mac and cheese. I ate pancakes in a bed that smelled like lavender and felt like a marshmallow. In my opinion, a babymoon is a must. Take it from me, my last vacation consisted of me chasing my 2 1/2-year-old around on a Disney Cruise. I lost a designer pair of sunglasses and ate things shaped like Mickey Mouse. I got seasick too. Still, it was a great time with my kid -- but so was my babymoon when the only person I had to worry about was ... me. Those days are gone.
If an all-out spa-style babymoon is out of your price range, book a single spa day at a mommy-to-be-friendly spa like Edamame. Search for a location near you here.
Did you go on a babymoon? Where?

One needn't have the last word as a critic
By Archana Nathan
By Archana Nathan
Talent Press 2017 participant Archana Nathan
India is and has been a cinema-crazy country for years. Whether it is the elaborate rituals that are performed in parts of the country before the release of a film each week, or the numerous fan clubs that adorn the inner lanes of cities where the birthdays of actors and actresses are celebrated with an unimaginable splendour, the life of cinema in India extends much beyond the screen. Growing up, I've imbibed and recognised a similar kind of fascination (albeit minus the fanaticism) for cinema within me and gradually saw myself being drawn to study it as well. Writing about a film is an extension of my love for the medium, its potential and its universe.
There isn't one National cinema but many cinemas of India; each region has nurtured its own industry, icons and traditions of filmmaking. Naturally, the scope for discussion and criticism is amplified with a plethora of voices—genuine and PR driven-- contributing to the debate about what makes a film work or an industry tick. A critic, therefore, in such a vibrant atmosphere, is one among the many voices contributing to the reception, history and documentation of a film. Often, a critic also introduces one part of India to another, through cinema.
The country is currently going through an interesting phase. Independent cinema in the recent past has gained a larger viewership, financial and cinematic experiments in filmmaking have seen success too. Therefore, film criticism is poised to play an important role: to note, follow and analyse the developments of burgeoning cinemas in the country. But there is a growing need for more honest voices as well.
Last year, in an interview for The Hindu, the publication I work for in India, Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian's Chief Film Critic said something which stood out for me. He said, "I hate the idea that a critic is reliable." It is perhaps easy to bask in the self importance and glamour that the role of a film critic brings with it, perhaps even more in the current era of a social media boom. But if there is one skill I would deem is important for a film critic, it would be the ability to not take oneself too seriously. For me, this skill liberates the critic and the writer in her. It paves the way for an unfettered study and analysis of a piece of cinema, perhaps the closest to an honest one as well. It also privileges the film over its critic; the latter is ideally in service of the former.

You may be super fit, totally unfit, immobile or moderately healthy. You may even have a chronic or infectious disease.
But how do you effectively and safely enhance your quality of life and performance, regardless of your health status?
Chronic diseases.
Most of our clients have suffered from one or more chronic diseases of lifestyle. It's an international trend to see more and more people of a younger age present symptoms of chronic diseases. These are no longer considered to be age-related diseases but rather diseases that are related to sustained unfavourable lifestyle habits and activities: poor diet, lack of movement, social and work stress and substance abuse (including alcohol and smoking).
If you have experienced some type of pro-longed discomfort or physiological dysfunction then you will probably have received a chronic medicine prescription from your healthcare practitioner. You will almost certainly be taking this medication for the rest of your life.
Sorry, but let's face the facts.
Generally, the underlying cause of a chronic disease cannot been remedied by medication. It is the symptoms of the disease that are managed by drugs. This means that despite taking medication every day for the rest of your life, your diagnosed condition and related complications will not go away. More often than not, your health will still deteriorate over time, unless you take drastic action.
Of course, you can get well again. You can change your lifestyle and become more health conscious, start exercising and relax more often. But how many of us will actually do this?
Some wonderful news.
Science advances at a such rate that new technologies and therapies are presented to us daily as alternatives to drugs. The frustrating thing about a lot of them is that they don't substantiate their medical claims with scientific facts or evidence.
This is why individuals, families, business executives and sports people rely on BEMER® every single day.
They rely on 17 years of international research.
The efficacy of BEMER® has been scientifically proven to effectively enhance the body's intricate and delicate self-regulatory mechanisms, predominantly observed in the microcirculation.
The microcirculation is where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and metabolic waste takes place, between your blood and all the cells of your body. Where you find impaired microcirculation function you will certainly find the onset or prevalence of disease.
Before you continue your day obsessing that your health is only going to get worse over time, you should rather spend that energy learning about BEMER®.
It is fascinating. And we will only give you the scientific facts.
BEMER® is available in 40 countries and more than 6'500 families and healthcare practitioners in South Africa apply it daily. It carries the CE & ISO certifications for medical devices verifying quality, safety and medical efficacy. It is also registered with the SA Department of Health and is licensed for sale (549/7826).

Make the best health decision you've ever made because being healthy is not a luxury.
It's an absolute necessity.
You can safely and effectively use BEMER® every day to:
- optimise and maintain excellent heath;
- find measured lasting relief or possibly experience full recovery from a chronic disease;
- rapidly recover from surgery, trauma, bone fractures, burns, non-healing wounds;
- enhance your performance for sport and work.
BEMER® is not a substitute for medicine and you are urged to continue with your prescription until such time as your registered healthcare practitioner advises you otherwise.

|1915 map of Toronto's annexed districts with dates (detail – click here for full map)
The district of Midway became part of the City of Toronto in 1909. Not long afterward, narrow, unpaved Erie Terrace (as Craven Road was then called) became a headache for city politicians:
|(Toronto Star, December 11, 1911, p7)
ALDERMEN TALK PLAINLY TO EAST END ELECTORSIt was a stormy, roily meeting of the members of the Midway Ratepayers' Association... There were complaints to make against the sewers, the waterworks, the side-walks, the roadways, everything....
Ald[erman] Sam McBride... stated that the Midway should congratulate itself upon the city having taken it in, considering the condition they were in when annexation was broached....
To show that their wants were pretty well attended to within the past year, the alderman quoted a tabulated list of expenditures [on schools, streetcar tracks on Gerrard, roadways, sidewalks and sewers. The $90,000 spent on]... this latter item, he explained, represented nearly one-third of the total city's expenditure on sewers....
"You've had a total expenditure of $510,000 this year; I'd like to compare that with the taxes you pay. You came here because this land was cheap. If you expect the City Council to put in water, sewers, etc., and make your land valuable in a minute, you are mistaken, it can't be done. Erie Terrace wants the city to bear the expense of its widening. Other streets don't get such concessions, and as for your aldermen, we have far, far exceeded any promises we ever made to you."...
|(Toronto Star, February 1, 1912)
THE MUNICIPAL MELTING-POTThe Works Department has a number of vexatious street problems on hand, and the committee made personal investigation into some of these yesterday. One is on Erie Terrace in the Midway. It runs north from Queen street to Danforth avenue, and the width varies from 15 to 22 feet. There are small frame houses along one side, and on the other are the backyards of houses which front on an adjoining street. It is proposed to add about ten feet to the width of Erie Terrace, taking the land from these yards.
But what then? Who will pay? The houses now built on the Terrace will have to pay their share, the city will have to pay its share, but what about the share which would ordinarily be paid by the properties on the opposite side of the street? The people whose back yards are taken get no benefit from the street improvement, for their residences front on another thoroughfare. Erie Terrace is their back lane, and they don't care whether it is ten feet wide or thirty-five. There is not enough room to build houses on both sides of the Terrace, and the city will have to find some way out of the difficulty.
|(Toronto Star, September 25, 1912)
To Retrieve Erie TerraceMayor Geary suggested to the controllers to-day that Erie terrace should be cleaned up, even if the city had to buy the property there. A. Bonham complained that the terrace was badly lighted.

(Toronto Star, October 2, 1912, front page)
ERIE TERRACE TO HAVE MUCH-NEEDED IMPROVEMENTThe City Fathers have decided to put Erie Terrace in better shape, but the problem which confronts them on that street is difficult of solution. It came into the city with the "Midway" district, and has puzzled municipal authorities ever since. Although it extends from Queen street to Danforth avenue, and is thickly built upon from Queen to Gerrard, it is only from 18 to 23 feet wide, and the houses, mostly wooden shacks, are built on only one side of it. On the other side are backyards of properties fronting on Ashdale avenue. A two-plank sidewalk was laid on Erie Terrace, but the road is so bad that wagons have been driven with two wheels on the walk, which has become badly smashed in consequence. There is no sewer. It is thought inadvisable to put a pavement on a street only 20 feet wide, yet if it were widened, the residents along the one side would have to pay for the widening and for the whole of the pavement. The other side cannot be built upon, as there are nothing but backyards on it, and 20 feet taken off these would not leave room for houses. What will the city do with Erie Terrace, which threatens to become a permanently undesirable street a mile and a half long?
|(Toronto Star, January 15, 1913)
Cleaning Up Erie TerraceErie Terrace, with 6,000 feet of frontage exclusive of street intersections, is the biggest problem the city has to face in the shape of a narrow street. It was taken in with the Midway, and its present condition is no fault of Toronto's. At some places it is only 15 feet wide, at others it is 30. But there are houses on only one side of it, the other side being back yards of houses which front on Ashdale avenue.
What is the city to do with the place? No building permits have been issued there during the past two years, and city conveniences cannot be put in until the street is put in some kind of shape. City Hall officials groan whenever they hear the name.
Ald. Robbins has had the courage to undertake a solution. He wishes the city to buy 15 feet or thereabouts off the back yards in question, so that Erie terrace can be made 45[?] feet wide. It will be a street with houses on one side, and the owners of these will have to pay the share of local improvements which would be borne by neighbours across the street in ordinary cases. It is said, however, that they would rather do this than have the place remain as at present.
Some people on Ashdale avenue are said to be willing to sell the piece off their back yards for $3 per running foot. In that event, the city could get rid of the problem for about $18,000. It remains to be seen what the Council will do with Ald. Robbins' proposal. Certainly a solution along some line or other should be forthcoming, and that without delay.
|(Toronto Star, October 11, 1912, p9)
[Municipal Melting Pot]The act passed last year restricting the narrowness of streets within five miles of cities was enacted with a view to protecting the cities against conditions which encourage slums when additional territory is annexed. Thus, if streets 33 feet wide are permitted in the county, they become eyesores when the district in which they exist is taken into the city and becomes more thickly populated. Toronto has already problems of this type on hand. When the city annexed the Midway district, Erie Terrace was brought within the limits. And Erie terrace is in places only 18 feet wide. It has houses on one side and back yards on the other – back yards too shallow to permit the widening of the street and construction of houses. The plan now approved by Chairman Leitch will create another such place. [The rest of the article deals with a situation in Mimico.]
|(Toronto Star, January 21, 1913, p5)
The Erie Terrace MenaceForce was added to Ald. Robbins' plea for cleaning up Erie terrace by a fire which took place last night. The terrace is only 18 feet wide in some places, has houses on only one side of it, and the road is in wretched condition, as no sewers and pavements can be laid until it is widened. Last night, the fire reels had to go up a neighboring street and come back on the terrace in order to reach a fire with anything like expedition. The terrace roadway proved to be in almost impassable condition. Something must be done at once to widen and improve the street.
|(Toronto Star, February 11, 1913, p2)
The Erie Terrace ProblemThe cleaning up of Erie terrace, which Ald. Robbins has been urging for some time, is to come before the Works Committee shortly. The present situation, in brief, is this: When the city annexed the Midway, it fell heir to a street, unpaved and unsewered, only 18 feet wide in some places, and 24 feet wide in others. This street, Erie Terrace, extends from Queen to Danforth. It is partially built up on one side, but no buildings have recently been erected there because the street is narrower than the law allows. Yet this land upon which it is impossible to build at present, has been selling for $20 per foot. On the west side of the street it is impossible to build at all, for the back yards of shallow lots fronting on Ashdale avenue abut there.
What is to be done? Whatever plan is adopted, the burden on Erie Terrace residents will be heavy. The proposal likely to be favored is the widening of the Terrace to a uniform width of thirty-three feet by expropriating from nine to fourteen feet off the rear of Ashdale avenue lots. This will be done partially as a local improvement, and even if the city bears over 25 per cent. of the cost, the burden upon Erie Terrace properties will be $5 per foot frontage. The Terrace will always remain a one-sided street, as the city will impose a restriction preventing the erection of buildings within, say, fifteen feet of the street line on the unbuilt side. This will prevent the erection of practically back-yardless houses on the rear of Ashdale avenue lots.
The cost per foot frontage to Erie Terrace property now valued at $20 per foot will be something like this:
- Share of street widening: $5.00
- Whole cost 18 ft pavement: 12.00
- Sidewalk about: 1.00
- Sewer about: $1.50
- [Total:] $19.50
|(Toronto World, May 13, 1913)
Local Improvement Notice
Take notice that the Council of the Municipal Corporation of the City of Toronto intends to widen Erie Terrace, from Queen Street to the Grand Trunk Railway right-of-way, to a width of 33 feet, by taking the necessary land off the rear of the lots on Ashdale Avenue, on the west side of Erie Terrace, and intends to specially assess a part of the cost upon the land abutting directly on the said work, and upon certain other lands hereinafter mentioned, which will be immediately benefited by such widening.
Erie Terrace Widening
The estimated cost of the work is $35,000, of which 40 per cent., or $14,000, is to be paid by the Corporation. The remaining $21,000 is to be assessed against the property fronting or abutting on the following named streets in the following proportion, viz.:
Section No. 1
[properties on the corners of Queen Street and Gerrard Street where they meet Erie Terrace]... The total assessable frontage in Section No. 1 is 120 feet, to bear $1,200, or 3 43-100 per cent. of the estimated cost.
Section No. 2
Erie Terrace, east side, from Queen Street to the Grand Trunk right-of-way.... The total assessable frontage in Section No. 2 is 4,082 feet, to bear $19,800, or 56 57-100 per cent. of the estimated cost.
The rate per foot in Section No. 1 is $10, or if spread over a period of ten years a rate per foot frontage per annum of $1.27 23-100.
The rate per foot in Section No. 2 is $4.85 5-100, or if spread over a period of ten years a rate per foot frontage per annum of 61 71-100 cents.
The special assessments are to be paid in 10 annual instalments.
A petition against the said proposed work will not avail to prevent its construction.
W.A. LITTLEJOHN. City Clerk. City Clerk's Office. Toronto. May 10th. 1913.
|(Toronto World, May 18, 1913)
ERIE TERRACE IS TO BE WIDENEDErie Terrace, a blot reformers have taken much notice of, and a detestation of the neighborhood, is to be expurgated by the widening process urged for many months by east end residents. The city council yesterday decided that from Queen street to the Grand Trunk tracks the street would be given a decent width, thus doing away with the unsightly and unhealthy buildings that rested almost on the front doorsteps of Erie Terrace houses, and would be paved and sewered also.
|(Toronto Star, October 7, 1913)
Residents on Ashdale avenue are asking for a right-of-way on to Erie terrace, but the residents of Erie terrace have strong objections to their neighbors deriving benefit from the widening of their street, an improvement they have to pay for. In the widening of Erie terrace there was a foot reserved strip left between the rear of the Ashdale avenue lots and the new roadway on Erie terrace. This strip was reserved to prevent the property owners on Ashdale avenue building on the street line on Erie terrace.
New Phase of Much Discussed Civic Puzzle Now Arises
Ald. Walton has interested himself in the request of the residents of Ashdale avenue, and has expressed his opposition to the right-of-way being granted. He holds the opinion that the property owners on Erie terrace should be protected in their rights.
|(Toronto World, October 23, 1914)
ERIE TERRACE WIDENING PRACTICALLY ASSUREDAld. Walton stated yesterday that he has strong hopes of the Erie terrace widening being an accomplished fact within a short time. The street runs parallel between Ashdale and Rhodes avenues from Queen street to the G.T.R. tracks. The delay, he said, was owing to there having been a sort of family quarrel between some of the residents of Ashdale avenue and Erie terrace. The assessment department had used diligence to effect the purchase of the necessary rear portion of the Ashdale lots to effect the widening. Most of the owners had accepted the appraisment of values made by the department. The cases where owners were holding out might have to go thru the usual course of arbitration proceedings, but the end of the expropriation proceedings was now in sight.
|(Toronto Globe, August 28, 1915, p18)
More ComplaintsMr. Frank Magauran appeared before the committee and vigorously protested against being charged $20.92 for the installation of a drain at his house on Erie Terrace. The actual cost of the work was $11.89, but the city charges all the applicants $18, with an additional $2 for the connection, and 92 cents for overhead charges. Mr. Magauran claimed that under the present system he was helping to pay for somebody else's drain.
|(Toronto Star, October 23, 1915, p13)
To Grade Erie TerraceThe grading of Erie Terrace has been recommended by Works Commissioner [R.C.] Harris and Assessment Commisioner [James] Forman at a cost of $9,300. The city will pay $4,800 and the property owners the balance.
|(Toronto Star, March 25, 1916, p5)
Argument was heard to-day by Mr. P.H. Drayton, R.C., official arbitrator on the claim of H.M. East against the city of Toronto for the value of land taken for the widening of Erie terrace an damage to the remainder. Mr. East owned a lot fronting on Ashdale avenue about 134 feet deep. The city expropriated the rear 14 feet or thereabouts. Subsequently Mr. East sold the front 90 feet, leaving himself with some inaccessible rear land, because in widening Erie terrace the city is erecting a high fence to prevent the residents of Ashdale avenue obtaining access thereto. Consequently Mr. East can only obtain access to his property from Ashdale avenue over the land sold by him.
H.M. East Presses for Damages from the City
Rural areas and cities including Winnipeg and Sudbury still use frontage taxes, but in an era when Torontonians pay tax based solely on the value of their property, and the funds go into a city-wide revenue pool, it's odd to think of paying directly for things like roads and sewers with a special levy based on how many feet of road your home fronts.
So the most surprising revelation in these articles is that the original, official purpose of the mile-and-a-half-long wooden fence on the west side of the road was not (as suggested in this post) to keep Erie Terrace residents out of the backyards of their wealthier neighbours, but rather to keep Ashdale owners from accessing their property via a street that had been "paid for" by people on the next block!
Read the next post, "Craven Road in Archive Photos", to view the street just before the Ashdale expropriations began.
5 May 2016 UPDATE:
Thanks to Joanne Doucette for digging up this article from 1984. "The origins of the fence... are shrouded in mystery." Not anymore!

Sport & Devices
The Sport
Globe riding is the sport of rolling down a hill in a large inflatable globe. The sport of globe riding is undertaken at specially designed sites in which safety undermines their design and construction. These sites provide would-be participants with a safe way to enjoy the adventure activity.
There are a number of different ways in which globe riding can take place (see globe riding varieties under Devices). Specific sites offer differing globe riding options.
The Devices
The device used in globe riding is a double hulled inflatable ball, known as a globe or sphere, in which the participant is encased within the inner sphere. The pocket of air between the inner and outer sphere provide a soft cushion and protect the participant from the gentle bumps whilst they travel down the slope.
There are a number of variations of the globe that are manufactured. Single Harness, Double Harness, and no-harness globes provide a variety of forms of travel down the slope. There are a number manufacturers of these globes, although the quality of product among these manufacturers is wide ranging.
ZORB ltd were the inventors of the official device, the ZORB globe. A number of other manufacturers from around the world have attempted to copy this design and call it a ZORB ball (among other things) with varying results. The Chinese Manufacturers have proven to be the lowest quality with a number of instances in which the devices have fallen apart after only a few uses. As the saying goes; It's too good to be true; – it probably is and you will be paying for what you get. Some unscrupulous manufacturers imply that they are official manufacturers of genuine ZORB globes or claim to have Zorb balls for sale. They are not, and do not. These are fake devices – not ZORB globes.
Plascon Manufacturing is the only manufacturer of genuine ZORB globes. Plascon has received ;Warranty Claims; for these fake devices that have fallen apart on the first use. Manufacturers that offer worthless warranties are an issue for customers, and customers need to ensure that they avoid them. If you would like to report a faulty device or make a warranty claim, simply click "http://www.plascon.co.nz/plascon/warranty-claims/

Start of Fall Camp Looms For Cats
Aug. 1, 2008
2008 Arizona Football Season Tickets On Sale Now!
TUCSON, Ariz. – The University of Arizona football team will open its 2008 Fall Camp on Monday, August 4 at the Rincon Vista Complex. The practice will kickoff three weeks of preseason training before the Wildcats begin game-specific preparation for the Idaho Vandals, UA's first opponent set to journey to Tucson for each team's season opener at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30.
This weekend, the Wildcats are welcoming all players back to campus, although most all have been on campus over the summer participating in voluntary summer workouts and completing summer school courses. On Saturday, Aug. 2, all newcomers will report to be fitted for equipment and undergo physical examinations. The next day, Sunday, Aug. 3, the veterans have their turn to report and complete the same process.
Arizona Head Coach Mike Stoops, who is entering his fifth season with the Wildcats, will meet with the media for a pre-camp press conference on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The Wildcats will then take to the practice field bright and early on Monday morning as they implement a new 6:15 a.m. practice schedule for most of camp. The early practices will allow student-athletes the opportunity to better balance their summer school course schedules with football related duties, and the practices will improve the chances of avoiding monsoon thunderstorms that are tricky to forecast in Southern Arizona this time of year.
Most practices will be open to the public held at the Rincon Vista Complex, an off-campus practice facility typically used for Fall Camp. Later in the month, the team will venture to Fort Huachuca, just over an hour-long drive south of Tucson for a three-day getaway following the completion of summer school courses. The Wildcats will then return to Tucson for a final week of practice before the conclusion of camp on Saturday, Aug. 23 with Fan Appreciation Day at Arizona Stadium.
For complete coverage of camp, be sure to visit the Arizona Football Fall Camp Central page here at the Official Website of Arizona Athletics.

They say that no one writes letters anymore, but Davy knows that's not true.
FOUND, a new musical comedy by Philadelphia Theatre Company, centers around main character, Davy, who becomes obsessed with collecting and sharing the surprising, hilarious, and irrelevant notes and letters that surround us every day, everywhere we go, after he discovers am absurd funny note meant for someone else on the windshield of his car.
Inspired by Davy Rothbart's popular FOUND Magazine, this original musical comedy is a raucous exploration of human connection, friendship, and the beautiful weirdness in all of us.
Entertainment Weekly called FOUND "Witty, laugh- out- loud funny," and the New York Post called it the "best date night show of the season!"
We agree, as we considered it one of the funniest and most enjoyable shows that we've seen on stage. Here are 5 of our top reasons to see this awesome production before it closes its curtains on Sunday, December 11.
1.) The plot is something we can all relate to.
How many times have we found a crumpled up note in the library or on the floor at school? How many times have we seen a crazy flyer tacked up on a telephone poll or the community board at the local Whole Foods? FOUND explores and celebrates the idea of the written note, which is so often lost in today's text message society, and its ability to draw people together—or tear them apart.
2.) The characters are like us.
Davy and his roommates, Mikey D. and Denise, are just trying to get by to pay the rent. When the idea of publishing the array of absurd and hilarious randomly found notes ignites their passion, it's amazing to see how a small idea can transform into something bigger than themselves. Most people can remember a time when they too were struggling to meet the status quo and when they had a great inspiration that brought them out of the darkness and into the light.
3.) The singing will blow your mind.
Just wait until you hear Mikey D.'s solo toward the end of the show. That's all we're saying!
4.) It's hilarious in ways that you won't expect.
The bizarre notes that Davy and his friends find are segues into crazy quirky musical numbers that will make you laugh and cry. Just wait until you see the number about the Johnny Tremain play. That in itself is worth the ticket!
5.) It's hip, fresh, fun, and reminds you to STAY WEIRD.
This play will remind you all over again how incredible and cathartic theatre can be. Plus, it will remind you to stay true to yourself, your inspirations, and your friends, no matter what. FOUND's overarching sentiment to "stay weird," is something that will stay with you long after the confetti of the final scene.
FOUND is now showing at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 South Broad Street. FOUND is showing until Sunday, December 11. Visit http://philadelphiatheatrecompany.org/shows/found/ for information about tickets and show times.

The demonstration phase: tests designed and first results by ENG
Description: The INGRID Demonstration phase has started in February and will last till the end of the Project. During this period several tests have been designed to be performed. The tests span from single unit tests, aimed at proving the integration of each component, to complex business tests, which execute and simulates operational scenarios of the whole plant. As for the second kind of tests, which are meaningful to understand how the INGRID system works, eight group of tests have been identified:
- Test 1 – Fill up all the HDSs
- Test 2 – Empty out all the HDSs
- Test 3 – Fill up all the HDSs following a MV consumption profile
- Test 4 – Fill and empty the HDSs following a MV consumption profile
- Test 5 – Respond to real time LV generation request
- Test 6 – Provide full flexibility services at MV and LV to the DSO
- Test 7 – Fulfill H2 requests as soon as possible
- Test 8 – Fulfill H2 requests following a MV consumption profile
The first two groups aim at defining how the plant react in stress conditions, and define its boundaries (max production time, ramp-up and ramp-down rates, etc.). The third, the forth and the fifth groups test how the plant can manage the storages to provide flexibility services either at MV or LV level. The sixth group will test how to provide flexibility services simultaneously at MV and LV level. The last two groups will test how to fulfill requests coming from the H2 market using the FC to simulate customer consumption.
All these tests are designed to be run in series or in parallel, and results will be interpreted as possibile scenarios for a fully operative plant running the INGRID system. The results are expected to match the mathematical model used by the EMS to perform its planning, and the first output demonstrated its reliability.
In the following figure, the results of 4 hours of tests during the 3rd day are reported, running Test 3. The blue line represents the set points sent by the EMS to the WE, the orange one represents the actual process value of the WE power consumption.

Glue jacket
I present my jacket! The first item of clothing (apart from the toile) I have made myself completely from scratch. And boy did it take a while with two layers of slippery fabric, a layer of PVA glue and ink (don't ask), then all the decoration on top. In case you can't tell, it's based on the body (...and shells/barnacles a bit) - the inside glue layer is muscle, the pink silk is skin, the barnacles are the spine and the blue glue on the underside of the sleeves is veins. It will hopefully get me an A, I love it and best of all, I can wear it because it's made to my measurements! But I don't think I'll be taking it out very often... Plus my favourite photo from the whole project. :)

Transcript of Interview: 3AW with Nick McCallum
19 December 2014
Nick McCallum:Â Jamie Briggs is the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure in the Federal Government, the Abbott Government. He joins us now. Mr Briggs, thanks for your time.
Jamie Briggs: My pleasure.
Nick McCallum:Â Okay. So I'll ask you the easy question. I've got a fair idea what your response is going to be. The traffic mayhem we're likely to experience here next week, does that illustrate that we really do need the East West Link?
Jamie Briggs: Well, it illustrates why Bill Shorten himself in the late 2000s wrote not one but two submissions to the then-Sir Rod Eddington Inquiry into the needs of Melbourne traffic into the future. And that inquiry, of course, was what gave birth to the East West Link and to the Western side of the East West Link. Both projects, the Federal Government committed 1.5 billion to each in the Federal Budget back in May. And when it comes to the East West Link, the first stage, that work is ready to go. There are 7000 Victorian jobs that will be created next year if Dan Andrews overturns what has been a political decision and does what we think is the right thing and continues on with contracts. One of the issues that sadly has been created for Victoria, not just for today but for the future now, is massive sovereign risk. There are 31 members of the consortium who were successful in bidding for the East West, many of them international financiers and constructors. They are going to look at Victoria in the future very reluctantly if Dan Andrews goes ahead with this.
Nick McCallum:Â Okay. So were you surprised when you read this morning that already 350 jobs appeared to have gone from the East West consortium? As I say, people have been suspended or sent home, but you can't imagine them being re-employed now?
Jamie Briggs: Well, they'll be re-employed if the politics of this stop. If the project gets underway and the jobs are created. I mean, this project's ready to go. We want this project happening now because our economy needs the work. There's 7000 people listening this morning who could get a job on this project, want this job to go ahead, want this project to go ahead. All the benefits of congestion-busting and the economic benefits we've talked about will come with this project but in the first instance, this is about job creation. It's about ensuring that in the future, we've got a stronger economy. In the short-term, we've got people having the access to work, and that's why of all people, the Australian Workers Union, though not necessarily a great friend of the Federal Government, have been leading the charge for this project to go ahead.
Nick McCallum:Â Well, Mr Briggs, as you well know, Mr Andrews went to the people with a very clear policy. He got elected and so the East West Link—if he keeps his promise, and there's no indication he won't, then the East West Link is off the table. Will the Federal Government then look at helping to fund other big projects such as the level crossing changes or an alternative crossing over the area, or even just starting with the West part of the East West Link will the Federal Government—the $3 billion you've committed—will you redirect that if a substantial plan comes your way from Victoria?
Jamie Briggs: Well, there's a couple of points, I think. Firstly, we committed to this project at our election just 12 months ago. It's a very important point. We committed to this project. So we were elected, and many of my Victorian colleagues were elected on the basis that the Federal Government would support the construction of the East West Link. So we've made election commitments as well, which people should not forget. The second aspect of that, Nick, is that in the end, there is no other project which can employ 7000 Victorians next year. There is no other project which is ready to go. The level crossings that Mr Andrews talks about, those projects are not ready to go and they do not employ the same amount of people. The Melbourne Metro Project that the Federal Labor Party continually bangs on about—didn't fund in government but bangs on about it in Opposition—it is years away from being ready to be constructed, and the second stage of East West, which we committed $1.5 billion towards is in the very early stages of being prepared to be constructed. So there's only one project in Victoria right now which can employ 7000 Victorians next year, that can create the jobs that we want created, and…
Nick McCallum:Â But the question was, Mr Briggs, being a realistic here.
Jamie Briggs: Sure.
Nick McCallum:Â East West—assuming Mr Andrews keeps his promise, which we've had no indication he won't. So assuming East West is gone and you can talk about it, you can bang on about it as much as you want, but it is now gone. So where—if they come up with an alternative, if there is an alternative, will that $3 billion be available for the alternative?
Jamie Briggs: Well, I think that's a very open question. We don't know if there is an alternative and we don't know, if there is, what it looks like. We've asked the Victorians and so far what we've been sent is frankly underwhelming. It doesn't create the jobs that we're looking to create in Victoria. We want to be a mature government working with a Vic… a new Victorian government about creating jobs and economic activity. It's all very well to make [indistinct]…
Nick McCallum:Â [Interrupts] So the challenge, then—so the challenge, then, is for Mr Andrews to come up with a viable alternative and bring it to you and you will consider it, right?
Jamie Briggs: Well, we want work in Victoria. We want people employed. We want jobs created, and this is a real opportunity for the Victorian—the new Victorian Government to calm down over Christmas. They've won the election; this is now about working with a federal government that wants to commit heavily to creating jobs. Heavily to creating jobs. We're not going to sit on money and wait for Mr Andrews to come up with a plan in two years' time. We want work now. This project is ready to go [indistinct]…
Nick McCallum:Â [Interrupts] Okay. So, let's cut through it here. If he can come up with a good alternative quickly, you'll look at it and that's going to be his challenge. He'll be in here after 9, so if we say to him: okay, you come up with a good old pla… a good, old fashioned job-creating plan quickly, the Federal Government will consider it?
Jamie Briggs: Well, we'll fund infrastructure projects which create economic opportunity in the future, and the only one that's on the table in Victoria is the East West Link, which is ready to be built today. Victorians can get jobs with it today if [indistinct]…
Nick McCallum:Â But you don't expect him to turn around and flagrantly break a promise just like that, do you?
Jamie Briggs: Look, I don't think it's a matter of breaking promises [indistinct]…
Nick McCallum:Â Oh, it is a matter of breaking a huge promise.
Jamie Briggs: Well, ultimately, we were elected to ensure that we create the best economic circumstances for our people and if Mr Andrews doesn't go ahead with this project, he will not be doing the right thing by Victorians. He will not be doing the right thing by Victorians. He will not allow 7000 jobs to be created. He will [indistinct]…
Nick McCallum:Â But he would have lied to them, if—if—in an—all throughout an election campaign.
Jamie Briggs: Well, and Nick, if we back away from our commitment to East West, the same accusation will be made against us.
Nick McCallum:Â Okay then. Mr Briggs, it is good to speak to you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I appreciate your time.
Jamie Briggs: And to you, Nick. Thanks so much.
Nick McCallum:Â Jamie Briggs, Assistant Minister for Infrastructure.

Phoron Tatara's no ordinary musician… as one of the rare Dantists who can summon elder spirits using music called Commandia, his gift is so strong that his spirit partner is none other than the infamous Corticarte Apa Lagranges. Sure, she may LOOK like a young girl in her human form, but you don't get nicknames like "the Crimson Annihilator" and "the Bloody Duchess" for sitting back and watching the daisies grow. Now, at the behest of the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office, this dynamic duet travels the continent of Polyphonica on Phoron's combination motorcycle/organ, following the song of the open road, orchestrating rescues and generally fixing whatever's baroque! Some musicians wait for a muse to hit them, but Phoron makes his work for scale in POLYPHONICA!
Phoron Tatara and his spirit partner, the infamous Corticarte Apa Lagranges, walk through town, looking at the historic monuments as they wait for Phoron's motorbike to be repaired. In a park, Phoron talks to a girl named Misaki who looked upset. She is unsure whether to retrieve a memento of her deceased grandmother from her old house. Phoron and Corticarte both encourage Misaki to retrieve it, neither knowing the danger this will put her in.
Phoron and Corticarte arrive at the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office where they meet Maura Ren, a woman being harassed by a peeping stranger. Or at least the spirit of a peeping stranger.
A new client comes to the Office with an interesting proposal. He needs an object retrieved from the bottom of the sea, his late father's brief case, in the hopes that its contents will settle an inheritance dispute with his brother. The problem is that his brother has hired a rival divine song player.
The Yugiri twins reminisce over their father's memento and the first time they met Phoron and Eufinley at the Torvas Divine Song Players Academy. Details about their pasts are revealed, along with the musical connection between Phoron and Corticarte.
Suzuna comes to the Office believing that her spirit has breached its contract and is working for another Dantist. Eufinley takes on the assignment of investigating the matter. It is clear that the spirit is visiting a Dantist with whom it formerly had a contract with. It is not immediately clear as to why.
The Tsuge Office becomes tense after a Eufinley receives a call from another Divine Music Player Office asking to have Rembart transferred to them. Phoron falls into a river and catches cold while on assignment. Eufinley sends Renbart to take over for Phoron while he recovers. Tempers flare between Perserte and Corticarte over who will care for the sick Phoron as the others worry if Renbart will leave.
An old school friend of Phoron, Yamuna, comes to visit and asks him for assistance. One day at work, Yamuna found a mysterious suitcase with a One-Man Orchestra. Since then he has been followed by an even more enigmatic man and little girl dressed in black.
Old memories of her past resurface when Prinesca finds a love letter in her school locker. Even though she is happy about the interest and encouraged by everyone in the office, she can't shake her worried feelings. To make matters stranger, Corticarte also seems to have something troubling on her mind, too.
Phoron hasn't been quite himself lately as his ability to play a Commandia has diminished. Corticarte is just as troubled by this development, but can't seem to find a remedy. Eufinley suggests they visit the famous composer Zare to see if he can assist Phoron is getting through this rough patch.
The entire team is called to work on a case after Renbart's is injured. Akatsuki and Mailreit are refusing to allow a burnt old house from being demolished. Phoron and Corticarte investigate the house, hoping to also learn the reason behind Akatsuki's hatred of Mailreit.
The members of the Tsuge Office are called to assist a One-Man Orchestra developer, Terero Terumin, complete his work on a new invention. The Counterfeit Rainbow he is creating will play a Commandia on its own, without a Dantist. However, Terero is killed in an accident and his spirit helper, Krista, disappears. The situation becomes more complicated as the growing anti-spirit movement begins to stir up fear and animosity in the town.
Phoron and Corticarte try to convince Krista that her life will be in danger if she continues to sing for the Counterfeit Rainbow. The anti-spirit movement makes a serious misjudgment when their spirit bomb is accidentally set off. The powerful spirit encased inside is set loose and all lower level spirits go out of control and begin to cause mayhem. The team has to come together to prevent the wild spirits from destroying the entire town.

The Miami Marlins are only the third favorite baseball team of Floridians according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Which is quite odd once you remember Florida is only home to two major league baseball teams. In fact, Florida's favorite team doesn't even play in Florida. Yes, the New York Yankees actually reign supreme as the most popular ball club in Florida.
Quinnipiac asked Floridians what their favorite baseball team is. Here are the results:
- New York Yankees - 20%
- Tampa Bay Rays - 18%
- Miami Marlins - 15%
- Boston Red Sox - 8%
- Atlanta Braves - 7%
Yes, despite being five years older, and having two more World Series championships, the Marlins can't even muster as much popularity as the Tampa Bay Rays.
There might be a South Florida versus the rest of Florida factor at play. We all know that culturally, our part of the Florida might as well be its own state, if not its own country.

In Southeast Florida, the Marlins are the favorite team of 44 percent of residents. The Yankees come in second with 25 percent, and the Rays get zero percent.
It's the team's unpopularity in other parts of the state that bring them down. Only 4 percent of Southwest Floridians say the Marlins are their fav, 5 percent of Central Floridians are part of Marlins nation, and just 2 percent of residents in the Bay area and the Panhandle consider the Marlins tops.
The Rays have done better spreading their fan base across the state. At least 14 percent of Southwest Floridians say the team is their favorite, while 12 and 8 percent Panhandle and Central Florida residents respectively picked the Rays. And not surprisingly, 54 percent Bay area residents also picked the team as their favorite.

Hotel in need of revamp.
Drinks at bar are extortionately expensive so in all I was disappointed.
On the plus side the menu food was good and the buffet breakfast was good too.

Nice looking hotel but tired and cold on the inside
First impressions of the hotel were that it is a beautiful Gothic-revival Manor House.
The entrance has a nice wood-panelled foyer, however this is about the extent of it. Most of the hotel is in 60's style extensions which are a bit tired. The room was nice enough, clean and decent fixtures, fittings etc. However the room only had single glazed windows and was absolutely freezing cold. No thermostats on the wall, so I turned the radiator up to max. The radiator did not even heat up at all. I requested to move rooms but the staff merely offered to bring a portable radiator into the room. This was wholly inadequate and did absolutely nothing to heat the room up. A very cold night's sleep. It'd probably be fine if staying in the warmer months. Breakfast was fine and staff attentive at breakfast.

Excellent Hotel.
So, after I had the 1st night in the hotel and the next day was a very special day to me and my now wife, the day started slightly stressful.
We had asked for the hotel team to store some of the flowers for our wedding in the cold store room till the next day to make sure they were still going to be alive. The next morning, no one could find the flowers which meant that there was alot more stress for me to consider. In terms of the hotel itself, the lady that was on reception when we checked in was absolutely lovely and the rest of the team within the hotel made the rest of our stay very enjoyable.

Mercure Bankfield Hotel
My husband Mike and I spent two very relaxing nights in the Mercure Bankfield Hotel in Bradford.
The hotel is in a beautiful setting with an incredible landscape surrounding the property. The room was clean, and spacious with a stunning view.
The staff are welcoming, and professional in the service that they provide. We will most definitely return!

The accommodation booked in April for event in August was not what we got.
Classic double instead of superior double. No discount offered. Requested ground floor room for 83 yr old. Placed her on 2nd floor. Checking in & out very slow. Arrived at 2.30pm. Corridors full of dirty bed linen & one of our rooms not yet ready. Requested early check in due to attending wedding.

I always try to leave my room as I find them and respect this room has been prepared for me
I found a used shaver head cover in the bathroom in front of the mirror not belonging to me
There was a very nasty crack on the toilet base directly at the top of the toilet seat which had some type of tape covering it and you still cleaning have a problem with the flushing as the water still does not go down properly
The problem is then you start looking to what else could be wrong and that's a shame
i am going to yes to staying again but please take note of my comments as one day I may not
They don't care
We got our car broken into in the hotel car park - smashed window and console broken out.
The hotel staff told us that it last happened there 6 months ago. The police said it happens all the time there most recently two weeks ago. Knowing this they should be doing far more to look after their customers security. they just don't seem bothered at all

Don't believe the photos
Photos published on website are a little misleading...lots of the original gothic building, none of the ugly extensions where most of the rooms are.
Apart from the initial disappointment the hotel wasn't bad at all, staff were friendly and helpful, food wasn't bad all all. Only real grumble was the coldness of the room, despite radiator and extra heater on full!!
