WINNIPEG — With a possible early election looming, Manitoba's governing Progressive Conservatives have a lot more money in their war chest than their main opponents.
Documents filed this week with Elections Manitoba show the Tories received more than $2 million in donations last year — more than triple the amount raised by the Opposition New Democrats.
After expenses, the Tories had $1 million in cash in the bank as of Dec. 31 — more than five times what the NDP had.
Adding to the NDP's woes is the fact that their donations last year were down almost 20 per cent from 2017, continuing a decline from previous years when the NDP was in government.
A political analyst said the NDP is still feeling the fallout from a bitter leadership battle in 2014, when five senior cabinet ministers called on then-premier Greg Selinger to resign.
Selinger hung on to his job by a narrow margin at a convention the following spring but resigned after the party lost the 2016 election.
"The party has been caught in a reinforcing downward cycle of decline going back to before the leadership fight and the huge political setback in the 2016 election," said Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political studies at the University of Manitoba.
NDP Leader Wab Kinew said his party cut costs and ended up holding on to more money than the previous year. He also said there are signs of a rebound.
"We had a very strong year-end, and the start to 2019 is very strong," Kinew said Tuesday.
The Manitoba Liberals, who traditionally raise much less money than the other major parties, have yet to file their financial results.
The next election is scheduled for Oct. 6, 2020, but Premier Brian Pallister has hinted repeatedly he may call voters to the polls sometime this year.
Pallister put an emphasis on fundraising and membership sales when he took over as Tory leader in 2012. He set targets for Tory candidates to meet if they wanted to continue to run under the party banner.
The Tories have also pounded the pavement during so-called Blue Blitzes, where volunteers spend weekend days knocking on doors in targeted areas. During the first Blue Blitz in 2013, the targeted constituencies included Brandon East and Interlake — both of which were held by the NDP at the time and turned Tory in 2016.
Pallister's government has also changed election financing rules by raising the cap on personal donations to $5,000 a year from $3,000. The documents filed this week show a very small percentage of donors gave more than $3,000 to either party last year.

What is Promax?
The product Promax is a supplement that is made for men who are experiencing problems with achieving and sustaining a strong and long-lasting erection. It is sold online and is said to have been featured on several television outlets.
The site for is fairly standard and contains the normal sections that consumers would expect to see, such as a secure ordering page, information about how the product works and ingredient details.
It has a 60-day money back guarantee and the ordering process is secure. Unfortunately, there is no contact address or phone number for the manufacturer but there is a consumer email contact form.
Promax Claims & Features – What You Need To Know?
As with most products of this type, uses certain ingredients that help to increase the blood flow to the penile chambers.
It is this action that causes the erection and when it is impeded in some way, often due to age, health conditions or stress, the quality of the sexual performance is affected.
What are the Ingredients in Promax?
- L-Arginine – L-Arginine may be present in erectile medications for its effect on the production of Nitric Oxide, an essential part of the vasodilation process
- Tribulus Terrestris – Tribulus Terrestris helps male sexual strength and virility by freeing the available testosterone in the system
- Maca – Maca works as an aphrodisiac
- Ginseng – Nettle, Licorice, and Cayenne are stimulants and Ginseng aids in boosting sexual energy
Promax actually increases the length and girth of the penis over time; it needs to be on a regular, continuous basis in order to do this. It is recommended that to take it at a dose of 2-4 capsules per day for approximately 3 months which scales to 4-5 pills per week.
What are the Benefits of Promax?
- Promax contains Tribulus Terrestris and L-Arginine
- Also, explanation and listing for key ingredients
- The formula is all natural
What are the Drawbacks of Promax?
- First of all no citation for scientific testing
- There are no customer testimonials
- In contrast unknown ingredients
- Finally, manufacturer contact information is not complete
Promax Review – The Bottom Line
Promax appears to be a standard, reasonably priced product which may help improve vasodilation in the body. However, despite the claims made by the manufacturer, it is unlikely to have any significant effect on penis size, and it is a concern that the official Promax website focusses on this aspect of the product. It is disappointing for any man buying Promax in the hope to achieve a permanently larger penis.
With countless male enhancement supplements available on the market today it seems impossible to find "the right one." Sexual performance declines naturally as men age, which may contribute to feelings of inadequacy or embarrassment. Male enhancement supplements should be based on four key factors: active ingredients, ability to support sexual stamina, enhance arousal, improved* sexual desire and backed by clinical studies.
Below you'll find some of the most effective male enhancement supplements on the market today, in our opinion.

At 8:54 a.m. on May 11 last year, state Rep. Todd Hunter e-mailed attorneys who would represent homeowners in a massive lawsuit against the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association and lawyers for the association. Hunter was the newly named mediator in the case, and he wanted to set meeting times.
"To all who are involved," Hunter wrote, "I have blocked May 20-21, 2010 for the TWIA mediation. I would like to do a short conference call some time this week to discuss the procedure and format." The call was set for 3 p.m. the next day.
The e-mail was sent to six people, including Steve Mostyn, one of the state's largest hurricane plaintiff's lawyers and a Democratic mega-donor. Mostyn was named one of the most powerful political players in the state by Texas Monthly and together with his wife was the largest donor to state campaigns in 2010.
His Mostyn Law Firm donated $25,000 to Hunter's campaign war chest, according to a campaign transaction recorded the same day of the e-mail setting up talks between TWIA and Mostyn and the other lawyers representing some 2,400 disgruntled claimants, who said they were shortchanged in payouts for Hurricane Ike losses. The records, released to Texas Watchdog under the state Public Information Act, reveal for the first time the close timing between Hunter's selection as mediator and his acceptance of the five-figure donation.
While the exchange appears politically improbable, Hunter explained that he and Mostyn have been acquainted for "several years."
"The contribution was at least committed to before May -- I can tell you that," Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, said in an interview this week. "The contribution had nothing to do with the mediation. I separate my law practice from my campaign practice."
Hunter added that contributions do not sway his decisions.
People can make contributions, "but that's not necessarily going to have any impact on me."
Mostyn did not return a call for comment.
But did Mostyn see Hunter's May 11 e-mail before the donation was recorded? On May 12 at 1:25 p.m., he e-mailed the group, saying, "Just saw this. Will call in at 3."
Regardless, the Hunter donation was pocket change to the prosperous, successful Mostyn, a man respected in his field for his ability to butt heads with massive bureaucracies and intricate corporations -- in other words, organizations like TWIA.
Mostyn's home in the Memorial Park area is worth $1.8 million, according to property records, and he owns properties in Key West, Fla., including a historic building he purchased for $2 million in 2008.
Hunter's appointment as mediator came quickly and with no resistance, according to the e-mails. On May 3, he received a message from TWIA general counsel David Weber asking about his availability at the end of May.
When Hunter said he would be in Austin May 25-26, Weber asked that he "pencil in May 20-21 for some TWIA stuff." In the same e-mail conversation on May 5, Weber told Hunter, "By the way, I don't know if the other side has approved you yet."
At 9:07 a.m. the next day, Mostyn e-mailed into a chain that was trying to nail down Hunter as mediator.
"Ok with me," Mostyn said.
At 9:45 a.m., Weber e-mailed Hunter: "You are in!"
Hunter would go on to earn $60,000 from the job, with TWIA paying $35,000 and the plaintiff's attorneys paying $25,000, invoices show.
Some mediation meetings were held at the Houston law offices of Fulbright & Jaworski and at least once they were scheduled to gather at the Austin office Mostyn keeps during session.
On May 14, before the first mediation hearing, Hunter proposed a preparatory meeting at the state Capitol, but Weber advised against it.
"You sure you want to do (this) at Capitol?" Weber wrote. "I don't want someone to accuse you of doing law business out of your state office."
In the following weeks, in addition to tony law firm high-rises, the teams of lawyers sat in luxury hotels and high-end restaurants – e-mails show the litigants hung out at the Four Seasons in Austin and the San Luis Resort in Galveston and pondered dinners at Ruth's Chris Steak House, III Forks and McCormick & Schmick's.
The players met for drinks and dinner and hammered out details in a fashion meant for power.
"I have your legal pad you left in lobby," Weber e-mailed Hunter on May 27. The e-mail was part of a chain inviting Hunter to dine with the TWIA representatives, including TWIA head Jim Oliver.
By Monday, June 7, the parties had put together a "framework" for the mediation, and Mostyn invited the TWIA people to get together.
"I am in Austin Tuesday and I would like to meet with Jim Oliver with yall if possible," he e-mailed Weber. "We need to get this framework put to bed and I think we could do that over a drink. Let me know."
Weber responded, "I know Todd has already talked to you about dinner on Wednesday night since we will be traveling to Houston Tuesday afternoon. We will have a framework to present to you when we meet on Wednesday morning; however, if that framework needs some fine tuning and you have some suggestions to that framework, then it would probably be helpful to discuss these items with you in a smaller group over dinner to refine them. We look forward to visiting with you over the next few days in Houston."
In July, Mostyn's law firm announced a $189 million settlement "negotiated by the Mostyn law firm."
TWIA paid out $87 million to plaintiff's attorneys and spent close to $39 million on its defense, records show.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
In some emails I have received recently which contained attachments,
evolution only identified them as ``unknown attachment'', instead
of PDF, etc.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
It seems to be correlated with senders using Apple Mail (all examples use
Apple Mail 2.752.3 or 2.619). I am not sure if all Apple Mail emails with
attachments have this issue, and older ones may work better, so that it might
be a recent regression. (Specifically, the cutoff seems to be around the end
of January / beginning of February; there was an evolution update on
Feb. 12).
Steps to Reproduce:
Not clear how to reproduce this directly.
Actual results:
Unreadable attachments.
Expected results:
Readable attachments.
Additional info:
I can provide sample emails which cause problem.
I forgot to indicate that seamonkey has no trouble seeing all attachments,
as does the Horde webmail system, so it does not seem to be a matter of
malformed incoming messages.
Here is an update/workaround: the issue seems to be related to the
display of HTML messages as _plain text_. Specifically, I was setting
the configuration item ``Mail preferences/HTML Mail/Plain Text Mode'' to
``Prefer plain''. If I switch to ``Show HTML if present'', the attachments
display normally and are opened correctly.
Also, it is not a recent regression: I tested
on an FC4 system, and the same problem/workaround apply.
Thanks for the update from a few months ago and apologies for not getting to
your bug until now. Can you still reproduce this problem on Fedora 7 or later,
and if so could you post a sample mail containing one of these problematic
attachments so that I can try to reproduce the problem?
I have not update to FC7 (waiting for FC8). However, I may have time to try
with a LiveCD this weeked.
I will attach a simple test message that shows the problem in the current
versions for FC6.
[root@semillon ~]# grep evol /var/log/rpmpkgs
At the moment I am unable to create myself a problematic message. Those I have
in my mailbox are rather large and contain somewhat private information. I will
try to get a test case over the week-end.
I have tried the LiveCD version of FC 8 (Fedora 7.92 LiveCD i386) today,
and the problem is still present with:
[root@localhost tmp]# rpm -qa|grep evolution
The workaround (display HTML mail) still works.
Also, looking at other evolution bugs, this may be a duplicate of 239148, since
my problematic mails are also produced by Apple Mail, and I have been unable so
far to create a problem email using either Seamonkey, the Horde Webmail, or
Evolution itself.
I will add a comment to the bug 239148 to suggest the workaround, and try to
access a Mac to create a sample email with the problem.
Thanks for responding. A sample email would be of great help!
Created attachment 218581 [details]
Sample email
This is a sample problematic email obtained by modifying one of mine. It
exhibits the problem at least on FC6 (I haven't tried again on the LiveCD, but
can do so if needed). It contains a single attachment which is a small PDF
Thanks for data.
Moving this upstream where we will continue to track the problem.
Please see [1] for further updates.

The Washington Nationals bolster their bench by adding veteran first baseman Adam Lind on a one-year deal with a 2018 club option, according to FOX's Ken Rosenthal. Jon Heyman of FanRag reports that Lind is taking a physical and SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports that it is a Major League deal.
Now, when I first heard this move being announced, I was questioning this move by saying "Why would the Nationals add Lind to the fold when they have Zimmerman at first and that Lind only plays first base." Well, they did this to add a nice punch off the bench and a chance to spell both Zimmerman and Werth when they need a day off.
With this move happening, it seems that Clint Robinson's days as a National are numbered, unless he takes a trip to Triple-A, which is fine, as he provides solid depth.
Now, Lind taking time away from Werth is a risk, as Lind has not played the outfield since the 2010 season as a Blue Jay. Also, he has never graded well in the outfield, but it is an option for the team. Zimmerman and Lind seems like the better platoon option.
In addition, Lind had a down year, but still showed some pop at the plate by knocking out 20 homers in 126 games. It is okay, as Zimmerman's production is on the decline, as he has failed to hit 20 homers and bat over .270 the past two seasons (.249 & .218). Lind is two seasons away from a solid 2015 season by swinging a well-rounded stick that helped him hit 20 homers and drive in 87 RBI, while batting .277 and recording a high on-base percentage of .360 and slugging percentage of .460.
In favor of Adam Lind, I do think playing in Safeco Field (Seattle) did hurt him at the plate, as it is a pitcher's park.
Finally, if Adam Lind finds his 2015 form, and if Ryan Zimmerman struggles, I could see the end of the Ryan Zimmerman era in the nation's capital or Zimmerman only batting against lefties with Lind getting majority of the games against right-handed pitching.
Note: Zimmerman is owed $14MM for this year and for the 2018 season, then in 2019 he is owed $18MM with a 2020 club option for $18 mil with a buyout for $2MM. He has a full no-trade clause.

How often does a woman not consider the straightforwardness and concreteness of a man's thinking, interrupts him half-word, distracted, suddenly remembers something, immediately loses the thought, switching to another. Here is your advice: "Do not ask stupid questions to your loved one, and eliminate unnecessary chatter."
Where to catch a consistent straight-thinking man for the flow of your thoughts. Here he sits and feels himself abandoned in the midst of a cycle of thoughts, associations, images that a woman draws. It is clear that this irritates him.
If you do not understand something, do not show it, or he will think that you did not understand something in his reasoning.
Remember: a man is not interested in the flow of your consciousness, fantasy and philosophical reasoning. He is more interested in, and mostly understandable, the essence of things. And the details, he specifies them, if necessary.
Each phrase has a practical meaning to it. And if something is said to him "for information" this will cause him, at best, bewilderment. For him, if someone and something says something, then he speaks for a specific purpose.
So, if a woman complains to him just to find sympathy, then he can run into the situation of a man's displeasure, if he is unable to help her or give advice. He always offers a solution, or a way to solve the problem.
Remember yourself: after going to the hairdresser, a man evaluates your hairstyle, but he is not at all interested in how many hours you spent there, what you were talking about with the hairdresser. The result is important to him. It may be perceived as simplistic, they are only interested in busty models, not what's inside, but it's wrong.
Remember that in exactly 15 seconds a man is ready to answer you. Hold a pause, even if he did not say anything aloud, be sure, he answered you.
Men often try to interrupt the conversation, perhaps even interrupting you in mid-sentence, he does not want to offend you. He already has an answer, so he hurries to answer, so as not to forget.
And then, when you listen to a man, let him state his thought to the end. If you interrupt it in the middle, he will lose the thread of his own reasoning, forget what he wanted to say.
Remember the most important way to avoid family problems, find a way out of the conflict, survive the insult, namely the ability to hear and speak correctly.
Yes, a woman has to try hard! You ask why?".
It is easier for a woman to start thinking straight, than to a man to comprehend the "female logic".
"If you want to be listened to, learn to listen to yourself"
Be patient, wait for him to finish his thought, and only then can you speak and ask questions.
Turning to his analytical mind, ask the man to put everything in order. This will warm his interest in it, and, perhaps, get real and efficient advice. And it will be useful for you to see how the logical chains are built, and this skill you can apply in any other field, from shopping in the store to success at work.
Speak on his favorite topics, supporting the conversation, show your interest. All that he does not care about and does not interest him, he puts in the category of stupid things. Do not be afraid that you all evening will have to listen to his tales of fishing or car repairs. The longest thought a man will tell is around 5 minutes.
Although a man can talk about himself or about his own business for hours. So, men, having gathered in the company, can surpass women in the field of chatter.
But they mainly discuss history, politics, economics, sports, that is, things relating to objective matters, and not to internal experiences. Although, of course, the problems of personal life (complaining about his wife, mistress), is also a situation for men to communicate, but in this they will simply list the facts, without thinking at all, and why these women act like this.

Customer Reviews
Great, warm and comfy. What more you need from socks? :)
Very comfortable and soft. Great everyday socks or good for hiking.
I love the socks. They are very comfortable and keep my feet from sweating. Would definitely buy again.
a very nice, warm, and comfy pair of long socks. i wore these nearly every day walking around for a week in washington dc! glad i bought them on a whim- you can never have too many socks.
As soon as I put it on, I thought to myself, "this might be my new favorite sock". I literally didn't want to take them off when I put them on, really great quality, they look cool, and they are a nice height for warmth.
Haven't worn these on the trail yet, but they're the perfect compliment to my hammock-sleeping ensemble. The rest of my body has no trouble staying toasty warm, but my feet always got cold. Not anymore!
I have worn them for a whole weekend with a lot of walking and they felt good and comfy the whole time. Plus they don't smell (yet) :) great for longer hikes/travels.
I love these socks. They're not as soft as I expected, but they're warm and supportive and they just feel fabulous on my feet. As a bonus, they're very protective and work really great with my (new) hiking boots (no poking or pinching from breaking in the new shoes). I'll be ordering more in every color.

E: Forget sitting down with your homework: Sunday's the Must See TV night for this decade. Considering that NBC's all football, and the CW doesn't air new programming, there's still an impressive amount of scripted television out there, especially when the premier cable channels jump in the fray.
C: So if you have homework, yet miraculously also make enough money to afford premier cable, you're in the small group of people this might negatively effect.
E: Here's a quick key to help you as you read:
- Titles in blue are new this season
- Each * means one Quibbling Sibling will be tuning in
- Click here for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's schedules.
America's Funniest Home Videos (ABC, October 13th)
E: C, I think this show might be older than you.
C: I believe you.
M: Is Bob Saget back hosting yet? His gig narrating HIMYM is just about up, he should be looking for an easy paycheck soon. I think this needs to happen.
E: Wait, you mean he stopped? What's he doing, other than telling dirty jokes in documentaries?
60 Minutes (CBS, September 29th)
M: Just letting you know it's still here. Somehow.
The NFL on FOX (FOX, September 8th)
M: This is FOX's post-game show, and really used more as a placeholder so that, unlike CBS, their actual shows don't end up running until midnight when football goes long. And it goes long every week.
Football Night in America (NBC)
E: I'm sensing a theme.
M: To quote The Princess Bride… YOU'D LIKE TO THINK SO! However this is actually a PRE-game show, so there!
E: Oh, you showed me!
M: Yes, yes I did. Well, other than the prefix, yeah, it's exactly the same as the FOX one. Showing highlights, talking football with former players and coaches, and token professional broadcasters to try to keep them moving correctly. I will say this. When I was a kid, these shows consisted of the host and one or two commentators. They have now ballooned to huge casts that often cannot fit on one set, where everyone's fighting to get their screen time,. Kind of like CNN's post-presidential debate coverage.
C: And just as gripping.
The OT (FOX)
E: Yep. Definitely a theme.
C: We promise, folks, if you scroll down far enough you will get to some actual scripted television shows.
M: Again, this is actually FOX being smart, as I mentioned above. I can't tell you how frustrating it was last year to have my DVR set to record a half hour extra, and still miss the end of The Mentalist, to in turn find that CBS took forever to get episodes online, and even then they didn't have an iPad app (I think they do now) so I had to sit at my computer to watch the 5 minutes at the end that got cut off. Or we'd just delete the episode. FOX Sunday shows? No worries about that.
E: Such a frustration, trying to get my DVR to properly record The Good Wife and The Mentalist. Huge ungainly pain. I wish CBS would smarten up.
M: All they'd need to do is give up the ghost on 60 Minutes.
C: Doesn't it seem like this is a tech problem, actually? Like, if every show had a unique code and instead of recording from 9:00 to 9:59, the DVR simply recorded whenever that code was transmitting. I'm very, very far from an expert, but that seems like it should be possible to me.
Once Upon a Time (ABC, September 29th)*
E: Or as I like to call it, the show my DVR saved. The middle of last season sagged (at least for me) but Mr. E and I have been watching the second half of the season lately and feel like the show might have recovered at least some of its mojo.
M: Mrs M and my older two minions started watching this over the summer. Without me. They love it. If I ever get the chance to catch up, I do intend to.
C: Yeah, every time I go on the Netflix account M's family & I share (uh oh, should I admit that publicly?) it seems like somebody's just watched an episode. But not me. I had a conflicting commitment at the time it aired last year and, being the only QS without a DVR, missed the whole season. It hasn't been tops on my list to catch up on, but if you watch and like it, M, let me know!
E: For season three, the cast is off to Neverland. Why not?
The Amazing Race (CBS, September 29th)
E: This is a cool show filled with interesting people, places and challenges, but when they started a recent season claiming to be in a neighboring town when they were actually in the one where the Quibbling Siblings grew up? Well, how can you trust a geography show that does that?
M: Wait, what?
E: Yep. They said they were in the town where Dad grew up but instead were at the place where I had my senior prom. Totally lost all credibility with me.
C: Well that's just plain shoddy.
The Simpsons (FOX, September 29th)
E: Talk about a long running show! Season 25 opens with Homer refusing to eat pork or drink beer. Has he been replaced with a pod person?
M: Or did Bart go off to camp again, allowing Homer's brain to regenerate?
E: Who knows? The annual Halloween "Treehouse of Horror" episode gets some love from Guillermo Del Toro. Sideshow Bob will make an appearance in a new job, and Comic Book Guy gets a girlfriend.
C: As often as we make "why is that still on" cracks about other shows — many of which have been around for "only" 8 or 9 years — The Simpsons' incredible longevity has never bothered me. I see about one episode every two years, but I have a lot of good will towards it.
E: It's an amazing feat for sure: 25 years, and the quality doesn't flag.
Sunday Night Football (NBC)
M: Honestly, this will take up most of my actual Sunday night viewing. Everything else will get recorded, and only occasionally watched on Sundays. When SNF was on ESPN (up until about 3 years ago) it was always one of the worst games of the week, as they used it as a way to throw a "you're playing in prime time" bone to the lesser teams in the league. Now? Appointment viewing. Plus, later in the season NBC can pluck games from the rest of the weekly schedule and shift them to Sunday night, to get the best match ups. Good stuff.
Last Tango in Halifax (PBS, September 8th)
C: This show sounds really intriguing to me. Despite the confusing title, this is British and has nothing to do with Nova Scotia. (Okay, I'll grant that the UK Halifax must be older, but it isn't the capital of anything.)
E: We're just biased in Canada's favor by the Anne of Green Gables series.
C: True enough. The plot concerns an older man and woman, played by Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid, who reunite via Facebook after having once been in love but spending their lives apart. The central plot seems to concern not their rekindling romance — that seems almost instantaneous — but its consequences for their adult children, who have very complicated romantic lives of their own.
E: I caught the first few minutes of this. It probably wasn't enough to get a real idea of the show, but despite an appealing cast, nothing really struck me about this tale of late-middle-age romance. Derek Jacobi is a plus, however, and the show must have won this year's BAFTA for best drama for a reason.
M: Well, Derek Jacobi is excellent. But Halifax is no Paris.
C: I don't know, I'd give it more of a chance than a few minutes, if I were you. I'm hearing good things.
E: I can guess the source; our parents thought it was excellent.
M: Are you sure that's in its favor?
C: Ouch! I'll admit Dad has gotten rather small-c catholic in his tastes of late, but if the two of them both like something I still take that as a pretty good recommendation.
Bob's Burgers (FOX, September 29th)
E: The Belchers – the aptly named restaurant running family in this dubious cartoon — go camping in the premiere episode, and because it's just what you want in a food show, everyone gets the runs. In the woods. Oh, the joy of it!
C: M, things I've heard about this show suggest you might like it. But I haven't seen it myself.
M: I have never seen one thing that made me want to watch it.
9:00 pm
Revenge (ABC, September 29th)*
E: I don't even recognize half the cast when I see commercials of this now.
C: I was just thinking that last night! A commercial came on with two different couples getting, er, ardent, and I didn't recognize any of the people involved. This after watching the whole first season!
M: I stuck with this through a bumpy second season, and it did have its moments. Later in the season they started making their way back to the original formula of Fauxmanda getting revenge against one person in an episode and drawing a red "X" over a picture of them at the end of it. Rumor has it they are going more in this direction for the third season, and I think that'd be a good thing.
E: Yes, it really would. I'm kind of stunned you managed to stick around (perhaps because I think you mean main character Emily, not Fauxmanda); I loathed what I saw of last season. At any rate, ABC promises new twists and old formats for season 3; the now obligatory deadly flash-forward, less of uber-villainous collective the Initiative, more Jack, and a long lost son for Victoria.
M: Well, make that more on the reveal of the long lost son — his existence was a pretty major plot line last season.
E: I bow to your superior knowledge. (Relish the moment; it's unlikely to happen again.)
M: I'm glad you finally came around to the truth.
The Walking Dead (AMC, October 13th)
E: The most popular show on cable starts up its new season in time for all the Halloween holiday hoopla, with more zombies than ever and a mystery new threat (because the survivors were having it too easy?).
M: Just in time? Halloween stuff has been in stores for two weeks.
C: Try a month.
E: So let's say in time for people to enjoy thinking about Halloween rather than being annoyed to see the decorations out when its still summer. The show is followed, I kid you not, by "The Talking Dead" — where, presumably, the cast and crew discuss each episode after it airs.
M: Hahaha, that's punny. And horrible. What do they think they are, Bravo? Is one of my least favorite people on the planet, Andy Cohen, hosting?
The Good Wife (CBS, September 29th)*
E: Not that this is going to come as a surprise to anyone, but I am so freaking excited for this season.
C: What? Do you watch this, E?
M: So excited that in your original draft you had so little control over yourself just typing that that you literally put four spaces after that sentence. And I stink at grammar so I'm going all F. Scott Fitzgerald and intentionally not use any commas.
E: Whatever, I'm more excited than ever, actually. Last season's finale did one of the bravest, craziest things I've ever seen a television show do; it made a change that will totally revamp the upcoming season. As we said with Castle, it's one of those things shows just don't do because it will threaten their formula, their basic relationships.
M: So, like my often wished for and discussed killing off of Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager?
C: Or the kind of drastic plot redirect they did at least every eighteen months on Battlestar Galactica?
E: Yes, exactly. Let me sum up: four seasons ago, the show began with titular character Alicia Florrick heading back into the courtroom, unable to stay home with her kids after her politician husband was jailed for corruption. She was offered that lifesaving job by Will, a former law school classmate, friend and eventual lover. Now she's reconciled with reformed husband Peter, the newly elected governor of Illinois, and she's pilfering boss Will's clients to start up her own firm (choosing, among other things, marriage over temptation). I don't expect Will to be particularly happy about this turn of events. As if that weren't enough, Peter's putting Will's partner Diane up for a judgeship. Except perhaps for investigator Kalinda, Will's going to be entirely alone.
M: I'll give you this, that's pretty big.
E: It's Game of Thrones-sized big, without the macabre deaths . Seriously, I can't even express how excited I am to see where every bit of shrapnel lands. How will the show restructure itself to include our favorite characters after the split? I'm not just excited: I'm giddy!
C: Oh, I know what it's like! When Chuck stopped working at the Buy More, but they kept showing scenes there in order to advertise Subway sandwiches. *ducks for cover*
M: However… Do you think they'll kiss (not literally, though maybe) and make up at some point during the season? They threatened doing something very similar on Suits recently (Harvey orchestrating a coup to become managing partner behind Jessica's back), and found a way to back out of it and go back to the status quo. That's the way Hollywood tends to go, fake the big change, or make it for a while, but eventually it's back to the same.
E: No, I really don't. I mean, I think it's quite possible that they'll kiss, but I definitely think the defection will go ahead. A few seasons ago, Diane almost left; this time the rift seems to be for real. And it makes sense to me, in terms of the show and of the central love triangle. If Alicia's going to be with Peter, she has to stop spending her days with Will; if she's going to be with Will, they need to be on an equal footing.
M: You do realize that, in all likelihood, for every single season it's on you'll be able to say "if Alicia's going to be with Peter/if she's going to be with Will," right?
E: Are you ready for me to blow your mind? I want the show to end this season, maybe next at the latest.
C: Wow! I mean, I know all the Sibs are in favor of planned endings for shows, but I would have thought you'd be hoping for a seven- or eight-season arc at least.
E: I know, I know. But I want them to have a plan for these relationships and where they're going to go; in fact, I've heard that creators Robert and Michelle King had a five-year plan from the beginning. I know they have the whole cast for five years but perhaps not after, and I'd just rather they told a discrete story impeccably, with all the characters who should be there there, than try to drag it out forever.
Halloween Wars (Food Network, October 6th)
E: We look forward all year to this wonderful competition show. Take a pumpkin carver, a candy maker, and a baker, slap a silly Halloween-themed team name on them, and have them compete in a month's worth of crazy awesome cake/showpiece challenges. My family loves these, and so do I. If you haven't seen this show and are in any way a fan of cooking competitions or Halloween, do yourself a favor and check it out.
C: And by we, she means her family, because I've never even heard of it. But it sounds cute!
E: I do mean my husband and spawn, sorry. You should watch too, though. It's pretty awesome.
Family Guy (FOX, September 29th)
M: I remember back when I loved this show. It seems so long ago. Oh wait, that's because it was!
C: Fifteen years, pretty much.
E: Yeah, there's little more painful than a once brilliant show that's so long outlived its charms. Hint, hint.
Boardwalk Empire (HBO, September 8th)
E: There must be something to this show or it wouldn't keep getting nominated for Emmys, right? Right? Despite like Kelly MacDonald and Steve Buscemi, nothing about this interests me.
M: But it's a mob show, and entirely unlike teen love in Renaissance-era France, so it's not aimed at you.
E: True enough.
C: Though a show about the mafia in the Renaissance… oh wait, they've done that too. Never mind.
M: Besides, Steve Buscemi should be enough.
C: Enough for what? You don't watch it, M, as far as I know.
E: Yeah, I'm confused. Enough to watch it or to keep me away. Anyway, it seems that this season the show adds the excellent Jeffrey Wright and some racial tension as a Harlem gangster encroaching on Nucky's turf, as well as J. Edgar Hoover and the G-men encircling them all.
Treme (HBO, December 1st)
E: HBO seasons are so short that they can have two shows premiere in this time slot before the end of the year. The critically acclaimed drama about post-Katrina New Orleans continues. They're both too deliberately gritty to draw my viewership the way wonky think-fest The Newsroom and fantasy action epic Game of Thrones do.
C: Oh, because "deliberately gritty" doesn't describe Game of Thrones at all. I'd personally be interested in watching something well done about the Katrina aftermath.
M: It's too HBO to draw my cheapskate viewership.
C: Ah yes, but there's that. See you on Netflix sometime, Treme!
Foyle's War (PBS, September 15th)
C: This show ended back in 2008 with an incredibly perfect finale. Let us never speak of the imposter "revived series" again.
E: What you have to know about this is that C love love loves Foyle's War during the actual WW2 years. The cold war reboot, not so much.
Homeland (Showtime, September 29th)
E: Here it is, the third season premiere of the drama that makes me wish I had Showtime.
M: I am, again, a cheapskate, but I have borrowed the first season Blu-rays, and am looking forward to burning through it.
E: How funny, I've done the same thing, but haven't had time to get through it all yet either.
C: I watched the first three episodes with E and Mr. E, and while they were incredibly well acted, I found they lingered in my thoughts and not in a good way. More in a wow-I-wish-I'd-never-had-that-in-my-head way. So I gave the show up.
E: This season, Carrie and Saul disagree (shocking!) and Brody's on the run as the prime suspect in last year's season ending bombing. I understand season 3 is supposed to be about the toll working for the CIA takes on you, but isn't every season? I'd go say far as to say that's an underlying theme of ever spy show I've ever seen.
American Dad (FOX, September 29th)
M: I remember back when I loved this show. No, wait, that was Family Guy. I never liked American Dad very much. Or The Cleveland Show for that matter.
E: This show is awful. How is it still on the air? I'm astounded that it's been clogging up Sunday nights for ten years. Apparently, one of the amazing plots this season involves a character named Snot trying to lose his v-card by cloning a girl to sleep with him. As that weren't hilarious enough, the clone comes out as a baby. Pedophilia! Awesomesauce!
C: I'm still confused about why E called this the Must See night of television at the top of this post. It seems like it's all football, mostly weak cartoons, and gritty shows you have to empty your wallet to see. Oh wait — that's right — and The Good Wife.
E: Ding ding ding! (No, seriously, Homeland, Treme and Boardwalk Empire are among the most acclaimed shows on TV, as is Game of Thrones when it airs in the spring; The Walking Dead, Revenge and The Mentalist are among the most popular.)
Betrayal (ABC, September 29th)
E: Tired of being frozen out by her cold and ambitious lawyer husband, a photographer embarks on a torrid affair with a married man who — surprise! — turns out to be her husband's opposing counsel in a murder trial. The adultery bait is played by almost-Aragorn, Stuart Townsend, and features the excellent James Cromwell slumming as a mucketty muck involved in the case.
M: Ahh, again back to my favorite plot! And is it me, or does this look like it's basically Scandal, Part II?
C: It's not just you.
E: Other than the similarity of the titles? The main character in Scandal actually has an important job which drives the plot; here its the men who do all the important work. This looks like a basic, serviceable airplane novel plot, done up with pretty actors and nice cityscapes behind. Anything novel would have to come in the writing or acting. The real question is, even if it's fantastic (of which there's no evidence) how do we have more than a season's worth of plot?
C: Or more than a movie's worth?
E: Is it unfair to expect to see that capacity in a new series? I'm sure this is why there are only thirteen episodes to the season. Assuming they even get that far…
M: It also seems like something that would survive better on HBO or Showtime, so they could show skin and get the voyeur audience. NEXT!
Ripper Street (BBCAmerica, December 1st)
E: The smart and bloody saga of Victorian London continues; the crimes are pretty vile, but the language is pure poetry, so whether you'd like it depends on your tolerance for both those factors. Starring Matthew MacFadyen (Mr. Darcy 2005) and Games of Thrones' Jerome Flynn.
C: This is Dracula all over again. Victorian London on the one hand, blood and gore everywhere on the other. Unless I hear very surprising things, I'll be passing on this. But why, oh why, can't someone make a smart, captivating, character-driven period series that isn't just about teen sex or serial murder?
E: Other than PBS, you mean?
The Mentalist (CBS, September 29th)**
E: The good: we'll find out the identity of serial killer mastermind Red John before 2013 is out. The bad: are they really going to turn Jane and Lisbon into a couple? Ugh. Must we? Just because they're a man and a woman and work together closely. Bah.
C: Another reason to watch Elementary, folks. It's the only series I think I've ever seen that's (so far) totally avoided this cliche.
E: So far…
C: Well, they don't even hint that way, which I love. But back to The Mentalist.
M: I still think they focus too much on Red John. Much like the other crime fighting comedic couple show, Castle, I prefer the funny, stand alone episodes.
E: Good lord, yes. I'm excited for them to be done with Red John for just that reason; get the mythology over with, please! It's not as groan-inducing as Castle's, and I think of like that Jane has this sad clown air to him, but still, it's not why I watch.
M: As for the potential coupling, with Castle the tension, and assumption of eventual relationship has been there since the beginning. With Jayne and Lisbon it has NEVER been there. Not at any time have I thought they would or should be a couple. Boo.
Eastbound & Down (HBO, September 29th)
E: The summary for this season seems to be that Danny McBride's Kenny Powers has ditched his baseball career for family life in the suburbs. It's all very normal, and he's miserable. Alrighty then. You know, somehow none of that was what I thought this show was about. I thought he was already an ex-baseball player. I mean, Danny McBride doesn't exactly look like a profession athlete…
C: Then again, a lot of baseball players don't look like professional athletes.
M: Danny McBride resembles a sumo wrestler…
E: At any rate, all signs point to this being the final season of this critically liked but low profile show.
Masters of Sex (Showtime, September 29th)
E: For those bemoaning the paucity of graphic sex and nudity in Mad Men, Showtime thoughtfully presents Masters of Sex, which stars Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls, New Girl) as Willam Master and Virginia Johnson of the seminal Masters & Johnson sex study. It's got style, some excellent actors (including Beau Bridges), and of course all sorts of folks getting it on. In the words of the producers, "Every scene that deals with sex is dealing with a very complex set of relationships. It's not that we have an excuse to show people having sex on our show."
M: That sounds very … what's the word I'm looking for? Subtle.
C: Oh yes. So subtle.
Hello Ladies (HBO, )
E: Entertainment Weekly says this series from The Office co-creator Stephen Merchant "puts a new face on self-deluded douchebaggery." Well, awesome sauce. Sign me right up for that one. The funny thing is, EW wrote that as a compliment.
M: Is it a mocking face? Because that might be funny. Like Schmidt on New Girl.
E: Since he's the most endearing self-deluded douchebag on television right now, probably. One good thing, anyway — one practitioner of said douchebaggery is Kevin Weisman from Alias and Chuck.
M: Yay, I love Marshall!
C: Aww, me too — yet I remain untempted.
M: Totally aside, am I the only one when seeing the title immediately thought (in best Andre The Giant voice) "And I thought, there are four of us, if we ever find the lady. Hello Lady!"
E: That is way better than the smarmy way I hear that phrase in my head. I'm going to have to think more like you, bro, at least in this instance.

After several boring days of no primaries to occupy our minds, the New York Primary finally popped onto our calendars and gave us something to stress about all day. Like every single primary before it, New York claimed to be THE primary of the race. It did follow a steady stream of Sanders wins and a strong Trump streak.
New York is often touted as a delegate-heavy state. It awards 95 delegates to Republicans and 247 to Democrats. New York also has 44 superdelegates up for grabs for Democrats, though it is expected that those will go towards Hillary as superdelegates tend to.
Winners were called in the early hours of the evening, and few were surprised. Both New Yorkers won the New York Primary, businessman Donald Trump and former NY Senator Hillary Clinton. Both Trump and Clinton were polling higher than their opponents and expected to take the state handily.
New York – Democrats
Hillary Clinton – 57.9%
Bernie Sanders – 42.1%
New York – Republicans
Donald Trump – 60.5%
John Kasich – 25.1%
Ted Cruz – 14.5%
Next Tuesday, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Rhode Island vote, so pray for us up here in New England who will be going to the polls and casting our votes. If your state primary is coming up, make sure you are registered and know where to vote! Make sure your voice is heard, or you'll regret it when the results start rolling in.

Self-Driving Cars: Will We Be Safer?
guest post by John Stuart (with information about children in self-driving cars added by Safe Ride 4 Kids' Amie Durocher)
You may have seen the term "Self-Driving Cars" a lot more in recent times. Technology is reaching the point where we, as a human race, are no longer performing common daily tasks.
Instead, we are now handing these tasks over to our home devices. Smart phones, smart speakers, smart lights — every one of these devices are becoming smarter by the second.
Do they pose a danger to you? No, of course not.
But how about a smart car? A car that can drive itself.
Self-driving cars are now within touching distance for the biggest car manufacturers in the world. They are investing huge sums of money to create a car that does not need to be manually driven. Everyone working behind this future technology is working with the aim of making self-driving cars not just as competent of human drivers, but safer altogether.
In theory, this is a widely accepted position. If a car has the ability to read its surroundings with absolute accuracy and react safely to any hazard with no delay, then it already has a big advantage over human drivers.
But how many lives could be at risk taken until that technological dream is a reality?
Benefits of Self-Driving Cars:
Fuel-efficiency and emissions:
There is no doubt that with a driverless vehicle, we would be looking at vastly-reduced consumption and emissions. The car would be able to instantly read the lowest amount of emissions and fuel it needs to make for a journey and stick to that statistic. This is without considering that most driverless cars in the future will likely be electric or a hybrid, bringing down the emissions down further still.
No driver error (80% of car crashes in US are caused by driver error):
80% of car crashes in the United States are caused by driver error. With a hands-free car, a foolish mistake or moment of panic would not be made by these vehicles. They know the rules and stick to them. There is no delay. There would just be an instant response from the car to protect the safety of its passengers.
No need for driver's license:
There would be no need for a driver's license in a future of driverless cars. It might sound odd, but any lessons would become obsolete. There would be no tests. A future of driverless cars is a future in which the disabled and those who would struggle would be able to hop into a car to reach any destination without the need for legal documentation.
Traffic would become less of an issue. Cars would be able to read congestion levels, travel distance and route times in an instant. It would then be able to pick the best option that caused the least congestion and therefore less time sitting around wondering how much time you're wasting.
Furthermore on the previous argument about road traffic, a person's well-being would likely improve. According to recent data, people's anxiety and blood pressure rose easily when they were stuck in traffic. Additionally, a nervous driver would be put completely at ease by the car lifting the responsibility from their shoulders.
Another big bonus? No more drunk driving. And be as distracted as you want, your car is driving itself.
No responsibility, less traffic. Everything would be set up for you to make the drive an enjoyable or productive time for you. What was once a long and daunting drive would now be a time to think, work or relax.
Car Safety Redesign:
When a car is designed to be driverless, then there is no need for dashboard and suitable guage readings. The car takes care of that itself. The whole design of the vehicle would change, with much more room. This means that the placement of airbags and other safety precautions can be much better thought-out, with much more space for a designer to work with.
Fears of Self-Driving Cars:
Huge Job Losses:
You can say goodbye to taxis and ride share drivers when self-driving cars hit the mainstream. They would not be needed in the future.
There is the opposite that automated vehicles would still create jobs, but it pales in comparison with wiping out a whole industry of employment. If taxis become automated, do they become more of a danger on the highway if something goes wrong?
Technical Error:
How sure can driverless car makers be that their vehicle is utterly safe for the road? Think of how many different variations there are when driving and how different each drive is.
For example, the car is trying to turn at a 4-way intersection. An opposing driver, who's right of way it is, slows and flashes you to come through. Does the car take this flash into account? The opposing driver might not know that it's completely safe to turn. Any hesitation from your driverless car as it analyzes what to do? The opposing driver may then come forward anyway, annoyed at your delay. Does your car continue after that?
What about a group of schoolchildren that runs across at a bridge crossing? If the only available option of avoiding the kids was to drive off the bridge, would the car then make this decision?
Cyber Security:
There is not enough clarification from the developers about cyber security. If a self-driving car's system is completely based on code, then it can be hacked. If someone wanted to cause some serious damage, even from the other side of the world, then this could be a reality, too.
Privacy Concerns:
The driverless car would likely want a bucketful of your data to hone its customization settings. Would you be comfortable with that? It is especially concerning given the new privacy concerns regarding Facebook's recent misuse of data.
Would you ever be able to afford a self-driving car? There is concern among developers that due to Google and Apple's involvement in the process and the serious investment that they're both pouring into it, there will not be an affordable option. The market would be luxury-led.
Due to this, the future roads will be populated by both automated and manual drivers. Will this cause further difficulty for the manual drivers?
What about Child Safety in Self-Driving Cars?
So far little attention has been given to the safety of children during the development and testing of autonomous vehicles. Safe Kids Worldwide created a Blue Ribbon panel to review what is happening and what needs to happen. They released a report last month suggesting actions manufacturers and regulators need to consider in an effort to keep child passengers safe in self-driving vehicles.
"Having the child safety community at the table during the development and innovation stages rather than after vehicles and features are in production will decrease risks and enhance child safety," the report noted.
Some of the suggestions include establishing strong safety standards, knowing and allowing for best practice car seat safety and educating first responders and law enforcement.
Can a Driverless Future Guarantee Our Safety & Security?
There are very good arguments on both sides of the driverless vehicle discussion.
It's a little eager to assume that self-driving cars can be ready for the roads in the near future. This would be the biggest leap in the world's transportation system since flights were made commercial. It needs the biggest brains behind it and an avalanche of research and risks to consider.
There is still a race, however, to get driverless vehicles commercial. Many people state that these special cars are still a long way off from hitting the road. It's safe to assume that if they are not classed as 100% secure by the suitable governing bodies, then there will still be constant delays.
Conversely, the potential of driverless cars outweighs the common scepticism surrounding their implementation. They could be safer, they could change our lives, they could save our lives and they could change the world for the better.
We'll just have to trust them when the time comes.

Warhammer 40.000: The Obsidian Monolith
Beasts of War haben ein kostenloses Missions-Pack für Warhammer 40.000 zusammengestellt.
It was obvious that the Monolith, and probably the lightning storm, were not the result of any natural effect. The drones determined that there was some sort of technology in the Monolith hidden beneath a layer of an obsidian-type material, but none was capable of determining the source.
The Logis Strategos ventured that this Monolith could be related to the Necron Pylons usually found in the Cadian sector, but conclaves of Crypteks from all over the galaxy stared puzzled at this new contraption, while many Eldar Seers wondered if this was just another trick of the laughing god Cegorach.
Who would be the first one to lay hands on this new piece of eldritch technology? Some will want to study it, some will want to destroy what they cannot understand. They all know that their endeavour could be contested by any of the forces of the galaxy, and they will be prepared for the clash.
Just in time for Christmas we have created a mission pack contains everything you need for a full day of Warhammer 40K awesomeness.
Login to Beasts of War with a free account and download and print the pack today.
The pack even includes a cool self print model of the Obsidian Monolith and markers to play the missions, get ready for war over three epic games!

17" Tires cost less than 18".
Performance wise, the 18" should be better as the profile is lower making for less of a squishy ride.
17" has a high profile and provides that extra cushion with the pot holes.
All of the tires you list are great performers. Further posts in this thread will have members touting they swear by one of these brands over the other.
Check Tirerack.com for user reviews or Consumer Reports. I believe they rank the Michelin the top performer and you also pay the premium price.

I joined the forum a week or so ago because I thought it would be fun to expand my quilting community.
My name is Rae Ann, my husband and I have two sons and a daughter and are happily beginning to accumulate grandchildren!
I have been quilting since just before I got married in 1992. My mom lives close by so over the years we have done countless projects together, I have learned a lot from her. Also, two of my sisters quilt and although they are not nearby we do share ideas and at the very least, try to shop for fabric when we are together! (all four of us have the same model sewing machine..)
Looking forward to meeting new folks and sharing ideas.

SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service for businesses. In SharePoint setting up a web farm and get it up running form small enterprise was always a challenge in terms of hardware cost, getting the expertise to set up the web farm, capacity planning etc.
Now Microsoft wants to bring SharePoint to the masses by exposing it in the cloud thus it takes care of the infrastructure, scalability of the web farm, maintenance & patching the systems with less or no downtime and calculation of volume licensing(ever did or try to find the licensing math) with as low as 10$.
Reach out to SharePoint Online for small business which provides information related to the small enterprises. Developers can reach out to Developer resource center for understanding developer features available. I believe there should not be major change Developer resource centers with the API for development.
Finally SharePoint also joins the Cloud band. hmm.. result of significant innovation and development in virtualization arena.

Ol' Meangenes stopped by this morning. I was at home, trying to recover from a nasty case of bronchitis, so I grabbed him a bottle of Yuengling,and poured myself a second cup of coffee.
"What brings you around ?" , I asked. "Beside the Yuengling, that is."
"Politics. Boy am I gettin' tired of this crap !"
"Hillary this, and Obama that on the Democrat side -and Whoever- Heard- of- Huckabee and Mitt Romney on the Republican side...Oops ! I almost forgot Ron Paul. He got about 10% of the votes and his followers are declaring victory (!)
This picture reminds me of that-for some reason or other ! "
I clicked on it to enlarge the image and found I had to agree.
I found a second bottle (the last) of Yuengling and handed it to Meangenes.
"Was that all you came over here for ? "
Meangenes sipped his beer, and didn't answer - but he looked at me imploringly.
"Okay,okay !", I snapped. " I do have some new pictures to show you. Here you go !"
Meangenes applauded. " Thanks for the look ! It kinda eases the too-much-politics syndrome a bit ."
"Happy to be of service ! Anything else I can do for you ?"
The old gaffer belched politely. " Yeah,as a matter of fact: That was your last bottle of Yuengling. Better re-stock next time you go to the store."
