METRO VANCOUVER -- Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says closed-circuit cameras and special lighting will be installed along Colebrook Road after four bodies were dumped in the rural area in just six weeks.
Watts met Wednesday with Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy and area residents to discuss her concerns about the disturbing discovery of the latest two murder victims – a man and a woman – on Colebrook near 125 A Avenue at about 2 a.m.
After two other murdered men linked to the drug trade were found along the same stretch of road in January and February, police stepped up patrols in the area.
It was one of those patrols that made the grisly find early Wednesday.
Sgt. Jennifer Pound, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said officers have not made links between the four murders. Nor had they released the identity of the latest two victims.
A spike in murders in Surrey this year is believed to be part of a violent power struggle over the drug trade because of a vacuum resulting from high-profile slayings of members of the Dhak gang.
"When you have got the Bacon brothers put away, you've got Dhak, you've got (Jujhar) Khun-Khun, you've got these other people who've either been taken out of the game or they have been murdered themselves, then the jockeying goes on," Watts said.
She said dumping of bodies creates more investigative challenges for police who have to find the primary crime scene.
"That is very concerning, not only the murders but the fact that people are dumping them," Watts said.
Watts met with some residents from the area to address their concerns over the bodies being dumped. And she said city staff will be meeting with more people in the affluent area of view homes and horse properties.
"We are just going to have a conversation with more neighbours in the area and let them know and get some feedback from them," Watts said. "We are putting together a plan in the area. We are looking at lighting, additional patrols, as well as cameras."
Watts drove by the crime scene Wednesday morning and said she was "absolutely without a doubt" alarmed by the number of murders in Surrey this year.
"I just wanted to see where it was. I am just going to go get some information," she said.
"It's problematic. We are seeing something here that is very concerning to myself."
IHIT officers were at the dump site with a forensic identification team through the day Wednesday. An Abbotsford police cruiser arrived late morning.
Colebrook Road is a perfect dump spot. Surrounded by farmer's fields and train tracks, it has few houses or witnesses.
Area resident Shari MacFarlane said she has lived just off Colebrook Road for 11 years and feels completely safe.
"I am here alone, no dog. I feel safe. It is a very peaceful area. It is a wonderful place to have lived," said MacFarlane. "There is a real sense of community here."
She said police had stopped by after the January and February slayings to ask if she had heard or seen anything. She hadn't.
"They are people involved in bad activities and this just happens to be a remote spot to dump. But it's very eerie," she said. "No matter what, when people start messing with gangs, you never get away."
MacFarlane regularly rides her horse down Colebrook and through the neighbourhood parks. She has seen drug deals and couples looking for an isolated spot. But the worst irritant to area residents has been the garbage dumped along Colebrook.
Balbir Gellen, who lives on Panorama Ridge, was on his daily walk when he learned from reporters Wednesday that the road was closed because of two more murders.
"If it is happening, cops have to put some sort of camera or surveillance or maybe only allow residents to drive onto that street," he said. "That is police job. They have to control all that and catch the people who are doing it. The people living in the neighbourhood can't stop it and they have no control over it."
The man's body found Wednesday was in the exact spot where 29-year-old Delta resident Amritpal (Paul) Saran was found burned and dumped on Feb. 24.
Saran had numerous run-ins with the law, including a charge of assaulting a peace officer. He was known to police, but not thought to have any gang affiliations.
The body of another homicide victim, Jaskaran Singh Sandhu, was also found a on Colebrook Road on Jan. 28. Before he was killed, Sandhu had survived a Coquitlam shooting and had gang links
Surrey has had a violent beginning to 2013.
Earlier in February, the body of Vimal Chand was found in a car across from an elementary school, just days after his family had reported him missing.
On Jan. 15, longtime gangster Manjinder (Manny) Hairan was shot to death near 127 Street and 112B Avenue. Just two days earlier, another Dhak associate named Manjot Singh Dhillon was killed in a targeted shooting near 168 Street and 76 Avenue.
The same night two drug dealers John Edward McGiveron and Geordie Wesley Carlow, both 33, were shot to death in a parkade of an apartment complex at 9450 128th Street.

Description of Everest base camp trekAny Everest base camp trek is going to be memorable and as this incredible 19 day expedition goes to prove stepping foot onto the highest mountain on the planet is one of the most exciting experiences that youll ever encounter.

Small group holidaySmall group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modelled on independent travel but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. Its easy to tick off the big sights independently but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, travelling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. If youre heading off on a gap year your, perhaps but for those with a two-week holiday, a small group tour will save valuable planning time.
The leaders are not guides theyre not there to shepherd you around. Instead, theyll let you know which local restaurant serves great value food without running the risk of travellers tummy. Theyll allow you to avoid hour-long queues at train stations and attractions.
We like to think of small group travel as the Goldilocks option. It is independent travel without the fuss, worry and bunk beds and organised travel without the coaches. And its cheaper than a tailor made tour. Its sits somewhere in the middle and we think its just about right.
Have big, life-enriching experiences that would be impossible to organise without lots of time and insider knowledge.
Make the most of your holiday time by letting someone else do the hard work and boring logistics!
Peace of mind
Small group tours take care of the security aspects and provide a safety net should anything unexpected happen.
If you dont have three months to spend exploring, small groups trips let you cover more ground in less time. Your days are not spent queuing for tickets or finding hotels so you can squeeze more into your holiday.
Solo travellers whod like company
Likeminded travel companions plus peace of mind for those travelling alone. Single supplements are usually available providing privacy if you want it.
Less confident travellers
Stray from the tourist trail without worrying about getting lost, and meet local people without dealing with the language barrier.
Couples and friends have private rooms, and you can choose to eat alone or not. Single supplements give solo travellers their own room.
There wont be any free time
Free mornings or afternoons let you explore on your own, or just relax.
The accommodation will be basic
Trips are as high or low end as you like. Though off the beaten track destinations wont have luxury hotels, this is all part of the adventure.
I wont like the other travellers!
Tour operators try to create groups with a similar demographic age, families, activity levels... Chances are, youll even make new friends.
Will we be following an umbrella?

Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
Few holidays have as little detrimental impact on the environment and local residents as a trekking trip. It is a low impact activity requiring comparatively little resources to support. Erosion on and adjacent to popular paths is a growing problem and our trip leaders encourage clients not to stray from paths to minimise this. We work with a strict leave no trace policy, meaning we have respect for wildlife and the landscape, separate rubbish and take all burnable waste back to Kathmandu. We also ask that clients consider using biodegradable toiletries and shower at lodges where electricity or solar power is used for hot water.
UK Office:
It all starts at home so we have first worked at reducing our carbon footprint in our UK Offices. Through energy conservation measures and recycling policies, we are proud to be actively reducing the waste produced and our impact on the environment. We support various projects all over the world to try and give something back to the places we visit.
Accommodation and Meals:
We spend 3 nights in standard hotels and 12 nights in locally owned teahouses. Most of the teahouses are owned by families who have lived in the Khumbu region all of their lives. This is an easy way to make sure a decent portion of the trip cost and the money you spend on meals in the teahouses goes directly back to the community. Breakfasts are included and will usually consist of something simple, locally sourced and carb-heavy for energy, like porridge and toast. Where meals arent included, clients can support local lodges by trying some authentic cuisine, rather than imported meals. Try Nepalese dumplings (Momos) or lentils and spicy curry (Dal Bhat).
Local Craft and Culture:
Although we spend much of this tour trekking, there are many opportunities whilst walking and in the teahouses to engage with locals, learn about regional customs and to do some sightseeing. Whilst trekking, we stop at Namche, the administrative centre of the Khumbu region with a weekly market selling fresh produce and souvenirs. We visit the monasteries at Thyangboche and Khumjung. In Kathmandu and along the trails there are traditional and handcrafted souvenirs available for purchase. Buying handmade jewellery, painted masks and puppets, prayer wheels, hand woven bags and tapestries all helps to support small vendors and their craft. In terms of cultural sights, we can visit the temples and World Heritage sites in and around Kathmandu.
After organising tours to the Himalayas for over 40 years, we have developed many long lasting partnerships with our operators and leaders as well as some of the local communities we visit. We seek ways to give something back and we usually help with small-scale practical projects that can help local communities and their environment, whilst giving the maximum possible long-term economic benefit. Together with our local leaders we manage all our own projects and over the years we have helped build schools and a childrens home. We have built water tanks and provide water pipe for villages and have helped with hydro electric projects. We have sponsored and installed more than 130 smokeless stoves and 50 solar cookers.
Group Size:
This small group tour has a maximum of 16 participants, meaning that we have a low impact on the environments and communities we visit and are able to ensure that we do not disrupt or lead to the displacement of local people. The small number also allows us to stay in unique, family-run hotels that cannot benefit from coach tours and other mass tourism due to their limited sizes.

Pantone Extends Range of Lighting Indicator Stickers
New stickers indicate whether ambient lighting conditions
give an accurate visual read under D65 light
CARLSTADT, N.J., August 21, 2012 – Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced the availability of PANTONE® D65 Lighting Indicator Stickers.
Similar to the D50 Lighting Indicator Stickers announced earlier this year, the new D65 Lighting Indicator Stickers make it easy for designers and manufacturers to determine if colors are being viewed under the right lighting conditions for accurate color evaluation, specification and matching. Whereas D50 lighting is commonly used for evaluating printed design work and photography, D65 is commonly used to evaluate the color of textiles, paints, plastics and other manufactured products.
"Quality of light has a critical impact on color appearance, and making a color decision under the wrong lighting conditions can lead to costly and time-consuming mistakes," said Giovanni Marra, director of corporate marketing at Pantone. "The new Lighting Indicator Stickers for D65 lighting provide a simple and economical way for designers and manufacturers to determine if colors are being viewed under the correct lighting conditions, allowing designers to be more confident in their color choices."
All PANTONE Lighting Indicator Stickers (D50 and D65) have two light-sensitive patches that react to viewing illumination and change color under different lighting temperatures. Under proper D65-range lighting, the two patches will appear to match, and, if lighting conditions do not fall within the D65 range, the two patches will appear different. The further the light source is from the D65 range, the greater the contrast in appearance.
To ensure that accurate color decisions are made throughout the production process, Lighting Indicator Stickers feature a peel-off adhesive back so designers can attach them to color proofs, color samples and references.
Pricing, Availability and System Information
D65 Lighting Indicator Stickers are sold as sheets (each with 40 stickers) for U.S. $49, and are available immediately online at www.pantone.com/lightingindicator and through PANTONE resellers worldwide. All PANTONE Lighting Indicator Stickers, including D50 and the new D65 stickers, complement the PANTONE PLUS and PANTONE FASHION + HOME product lines.

Full name Frank Hadden
Born October 14, 1954, Dundee, Scotland
Current age 65 years 35 days
Frank Hadden began his rugby career as understudy to Scotland and Lions fly half Ian McGeechan at Headingley RFC. His coaching career began whilst a teacher at Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh. Under his guidance the school's First XV became a force in Scottish schools rugby, winning 54 of 58 matches in a remarkable run.
His first professional appointment was as assistant coach with the Caledonia Reds, but their merger with Glasgow Warriors saw Hadden return to Merchiston. Prior to his return to teaching, Hadden had been included on the 1998 Scotland tour of Australia as a technical coach.
His first break as a head coach came when internal problems caused Ian Rankin to leave his post at Edinburgh Gunners, now Edinburgh Rugby, in 2000. Hadden was asked by the SRU to take the position, and in 2004 he became the first coach to guide a Scottish professional side to a Heineken Cup quarter-final.
He became the interim coach of the Scottish national team following the departure of Matt Williams in 2005, and following wins over the Barbarians and Romania Hadden was installed as coach until after the 2007 World Cup. His first Six Nations match saw a famous win over France at Murrayfield, a result that was followed by Scotland's first Calcutta Cup win since 2000.
Scotland finished third in the 2006 tournament, their best finish since 2001. The 2007 tournament was less successful for the Scots, although Hadden was able to see Scotland through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup later that year.
The 2008 Six Nations saw certain sections of the media calling for Hadden to be removed following a string of poor performances that seemed to be heavily reliant on defence and the metronomic boot of Chris Paterson.
Hadden has been granted a rolling contract through 2008, and his side showed glimpses of their 2006 form in drawing their summer Test series against World Cup semi-finalists Argentina 1-1.
Despite this promise, Hadden was not to enjoy much longer in the job. A poor return in the 2009 Six Nations, with only a single win over Italy, meant that he parted ways with the SRU in April 2009.

Pacific Time Zone
|UTC offset
|Observance of DST
|DST is observed throughout this time zone between the 2nd Sunday in March and the 1st Sunday in November.
|DST ended
|1 Nov 2015
|DST begins
|13 Mar 2016
The Pacific Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−8). The standard time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 120th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. During daylight saving time, its time offset is UTC−7 and is thus based on the mean solar time of the 105th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.
In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called the Pacific Time Zone (PT). Specifically, it uses Pacific Standard Time (PST) when observing standard time (late autumn to early spring), and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) when observing daylight saving time (early spring to late autumn). Most of Canada uses daylight saving time. In Mexico the UTC−8 time zone is known as the Northwest Zone, which is synchronized with the U.S. PDT daylight saving schedule.
The largest city in the Pacific Time Zone is Los Angeles, California; the city's metropolitan area is the largest in the zone.
The zone is one hour ahead of the Alaska Time Zone, one hour behind the Mountain Time Zone, two hours behind the Central Time Zone, and three hours behind the Eastern Time Zone.

United States
The following states or areas are part of the Pacific Time Zone:
- California
- Washington
- Oregon – all, except for most of Malheur County, on the Idaho border (the dividing line goes through the southwest corner of township 35 S, range 37 E, and lies at a latitude of approximately 42.4507448 N).
- Nevada – legally all, except for the border town of West Wendover (near Utah), which observes the Mountain Time Zone. The towns of Jackpot, Jarbidge, Mountain City and Owyhee, although geographically within the Pacific Time Zone, locally observe the Mountain Time because of their proximity to and stronger connections with nearby towns in Idaho.[1]
- Idaho Panhandle – the northern half of Idaho, north of the Salmon River.
The town of Hyder, Alaska, is officially in the Alaska Time Zone. However, most of the town observes the Pacific Time because of strong connections with nearby Stewart, British Columbia, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. The United States Post Office in Hyder strictly adheres to Alaska Time.
In Canada, the Pacific Time Zone includes most of British Columbia (except for the Highway 95 corridor and portions around Tumbler Ridge, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Golden and Creston), all of Yukon and Tungsten, Northwest Territories.
In Mexico, the state of Baja California lies completely within the Pacific Time Zone.
Daylight time
Through 2006, the local time (PST, UTC−8) changed to daylight time (PDT, UTC−7) at 02:00 LST (local standard time) to 03:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April, and returned at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the last Sunday in October.
Effective in the U.S. in 2007 as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the local time changes from PST to PDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and the time returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the first Sunday in November. The Canadian provinces and territories that use daylight time each adopted these dates between October 2005 and February 2007. In Mexico, beginning in 2010, the portion of the country in this time zone uses the extended dates, as do some other parts. The vast majority of Mexico, however, still uses the old dates.

The European Commission asked FRA to develop an overview of national child protection systems. FRA will examine the scope and key components of national child protection systems across the EU. The focus will be on the systems' laws, structures, actors and how the systems function, as well as human and financial resources and the existing accountability mechanisms. The research will explore how these systems operate and how they address the specific needs of particular groups of children, examining also national and transnational coordination and interagency cooperation.
In past years, there have been many new laws to better protect children and promote their rights at the EU level. The EU Agenda for the rights of the child was adopted in 2010 to step up efforts in protecting and promoting child rights. It contains actions to protect children when they are vulnerable and are subject to or at risk of having their rights violated. In 2012, the EU strategy towards the eradication of trafficking in human beings 2012-2016 called on Member States to strengthen child protection and move towards integrated child protection systems. In December 2013, at the European Forum for the Rights of the Child, the Commission announced that they would develop guidance for child protection systems in 2014.
FRA is currently conducting research on child protection systems through FRANET collecting information and data on the key components of child protection systems across the 28 EU Member States. Findings will be communicated to the European Commission to feed into its work on the development of EU guidelines on child protection systems.

You might have already heard of, or even already be a
contributor to, the VJ Theory project.
If you haven't then the project falls into two areas: samples of work from the forthcoming book and the project/community which lives at:
This project intends to develop a community actively discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory related with Vjing and realtime interaction.
It is apparent, during workshops and discussions at Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both VJing and Interactive Installations will quickly move on from problems with the practicalities of production to more complex ideas of how and why the process has, for example, significance for the viewer.
There is a lack of written texts on the philosophies and theories related with VJing and realtime interaction.
This project and the associated book, aim to bring together work by some of the foremost practitioners and academics in the field.
We aim to produce a body of work which, for the first time, will address these theoretical issues and place the practices of VJing and Interactive Installation, into a useful context.

Has your family had to tell you to "calm down" more than once in the past month as you express your dissatisfaction with another person's driving skills through a long and emphatic compression of your car horn?
Do you often find yourself communicating with other drivers through hand signals?
Perhaps you need to take the online "Driving Personality Test" available at www.PsychTests.com and find out whether you are simply a bit impatient behind the wheel, or whether you are a true candidate for Road Rage-oholics Anonymous.
While the 14-question test can yield some fascinating insights into your true driving persona, it may also manage to bring you a chuckle or two of self-recognition as you take a closer look at your own driving habits.
You are asked to honestly judge how you would react if you were stuck in a traffic jam on a hot summer day. Possible responses could range from, "take time to relax and wind down," "use this valuable time to make eye contact with someone cute," or "vent by swearing, honking your horn and hitting anything in your car."
Another question outlines the scenario of someone who has had a really, really bad day and then finds themselves eyeball-to-eyeball with a fluffy-tailed squirrel.
The test even examines the ultimate measure of driver self control - the old "another- driver-pulls-into-the-parking- spot-you-had-been-waiting-for" scenario.
Your choice of answers range from, "take off to keep searching" to "start pulling in anyway, prepared to bump the space-snatching car out of the spot."
One question asks what your reaction would be to a driver who cut you off when you had a child in the car. Would your reaction be the benign, "ignore the driver" or the more demonstrative, "shout swear words that would make a sailor blush," or one of the other options that fall somewhere in between?
At one point in the test, you are asked to rate how often you practice behaviors such as "verbalizing or wishing physical harm on other drivers," "braking suddenly to scare a tailgater," "cutting into lanes while everyone else waits (exits, bridges)," or how often you "try to run someone off the road."
Finally the test examines whether you change the way you drive depending on who is in the vehicle with you. For example, one question asks if you drive more dynamically if "attractive members of the opposite sex (or your own sex if you are gay/bi) are observing or riding with you."
My final score was 5 out of 100 for my "Driving Index" and 3 out of 100 for my "Frequency of Road Rage Behavior." It concluded that I was "one calm, cool driver" and that I didn't "jeopardize my own mental and physical well-being" and that I "certainly don't endanger the lives of others with whom I share the road."
There was a banner advertisement on the bottom of the page below the summation of the test results which might just come in handy for more than a few drivers after the view their results.
It began, "Looking for a therapist? ... Search no more!"

People We Love :: Chef Ann Cooper
When Chef Ann Cooper pulled nachos off the Berkeley (Calif.) School District cafeteria menu, the students went on strike. "Deconstructed" nachos, made with real beans and baked chips, replaced Day-Glo cheese on fried chips.
The students eventually came around, thanks to Cooper's "special marketing component," a hands-on approach that allows kids to "experience food from the farming stages to the cooking, and the background behind the food."
A former hotel and resort chef, Cooper has been an advocate for healthy school lunches for the past decade, and is now director of the Berkeley School District's Nutrition Services. Cooper founded the nonprofit Food Family Farming Foundation (F3), which offers a Web portal called "The Lunch Box" with tools for schools pursuing cafeteria food reform. "Hungry or malnourished kids can't learn," Cooper said. "This is something that really should be a birthright."

I have been buying from this store for 13 years. I have even ordered fresh turkeys and standing rib roasts. All the food has been wonderful. I drive in from Peoria, AZ every 3-4 months and always stop and fill up the cooler. They even make a wonderful horseradish that is fresh and guaranteed to clear your sinuses. Will be back there in August for more.
AWESOME! ALWAYS! Casual, busy, good lookin' staff, good beer selection, good food, good central location. Been a Tucson staple for a long time.
I've eaten here with transplanted New Yorkers who thought it was very good and dined here with a Jewish friend who loved the matzoh ball soup as it reminded her of how her family fixed it growing up.
The pastrami sandwich is enormous and tasty. The free pickles to nibble on while waiting for the meal to arrive is also a nice touch.
Little hole in the wall that services alright food. We used a buy one get one free coupon here a few weeks ago. I might go back if we had another coupon.
No comparison to Feigs, tried it for the first time the other day. Lousy, had a roast beef san, meat was med/well, sliced too thick and tough, the kaiser roll was a supermarket mass produced burger bun. No mas, $8 is better spent elsewhere.
huge sandwiches. with that said - quantity rather than quality seems to be the goal here. i don't go there often but would go again.
Love this place! Been going for years. Fun hot wait staff, great drink specials and huge sandwiches and bread bowl soups. The outdoor patio bar is a great plus!
Went there for their Valentine's Special Dinner - amazing!
The food is very good and the portions are huge. The cramped space is balanced by friendly service & a neighborly effort to please.
The food here was about as 'ethic' as bratworst at a circle K.
I agree with the above. Shop at the ethnic aisle at your local store instead.
Overall this restaurant boasts a TASTELESS Menu!.
My first hint that this would not be a pleasant dining experience came when my so called cup of Matzoh Ball soup was sampled.
Ugh! In the cup was a tasteless broth with a few bits of chicken and vegetables.
The matzoh ball looked and tasted like a bleached out tennis ball.
Thank goodness I only ordered half a pastrami sandwich, nothing more than a thick portion of the meat jammed between two slices of rye bread.
One of my friends had to send back her chopped liver sandwich, because it tasted spoiled.
The only enjoyable feature of the dining experience was the very personable young woman who was our server.
Save your money by purchasing the real thing in the ethnic aisle at your local supermarket.
3 or so visits; will go again. Rundown:
*OK beer tap selection, though would like to see more
*Solid bottle selection
*Huge, tasty sandwiches (veggie)
*Lots of TVs if you care to indulge
*Nothing fancy, though clean, atmosphere
*No check splitting (they're adamant about it, see menu...)
