- Phone: 305-373-3511

- Atmosphere: A boutique Miami nightclub with a pawn shop theme thoughout the venue. Featuring a original 727 jet fuselage and a school bus.
- Age Group: 21+

- Hours: 10pm – 5am
- Description: Traditionally a cover for illicit activities, this 1930′s pawn shop's original facade now offers the perfect front for Miami's first boutique nightclub. Intimate yet charged with nocturnal energy, Pawn Shop offers a creative playpen through an inspired "liquid" decor concept and location in downtown Miami.
Nightlife veteran Kurt VanNostrand conceived Pawn Shop, whose barbed wire and red letters screaming "We buy diamonds" face the new Performing Arts Center, as a cutting edge catalyst in the revival of downtown Miami.
While retaining the spirit of its former incarnation, Pawn Shop's interior holds a theatrical paradise of secondhand items transformed into living art. These ever-changing vignettes may include an Airstream Trailer, a school bus, and the fuselage of a jet airplane. This evolutionary atmosphere combines a Warholian elevation of the everyday into art with a postmodern blend of new and vintage, creating a fresh collage for Miami nightlife.
Upon entering past a cover booth window with iron bars, guests are treated to a bar and lounge area dipped in white and accented with original primary-colored vaults repurposed into a coat check and wine cellar. Eye candy includes a dramatic projection of video art and sleek poured white resin bar displaying pawn shop items illumed by fiber optic light. A further touch of surrealism is added by acid-colored dentist chairs along the front foyer wall.
A full-size yellow school bus divides the purgatorial foyer from the "cabaret" area which dominated by three transportation-themed set pieces. Batched in projections by international video artists, the bus offers and irreverent spin on the concept of a VIP area and the 60′s era psychedelic bus. Arrangements of upholstered bus seats in front offer additional accommodation. Across the room an original 727 jet fuselage anchors a "mile-high-club" area with refinished 70s style airline chairs. Opposite is a sleek silver vintage Airstream trailer from the 50s, complete with a pinball machine inside. Original Dade County pine trusses above reference an artist's loft.
"Every feature of Pawn Shop evokes a strong sense and feeling of authentic energy and history. I wanted to create a successful, interesting and thriving business to the downtown area, while contributing to the development of the neighborhood as a whole," said Managing Partner VanNostrand, who has also worked for top hoteliers Ian Schrager (Morgan's Bar and Skybar in Modrian) and Andre Balazs (Mercer Kitchen).
Through its artistic concept, imaginative execution and ongoing evolution, the Pawn shop hopes to act as a modern-day speak easy for a sophisticated clientele. Rarer still is its aspiration for both cultural viability and a high place in the pantheon of legendary nightspots.

Sutcliffe: It's a great chance to exorcise our demons
Dublin's hurlers are desperate to make up for their earlier 11-point flop to the Rebel County in tomorrow's big rematch in the Allianz Hurling League semi-finals.
"I'm just delighted that we have another chance to face Cork in case we meet them along the road again, just to exorcise the demons of Croke Park a few weeks ago," wing-forward Danny Sutcliffe admitted.
"It was probably our only bad half of hurling in the league. We lost to Clare obviously but we performed to a decent level that day. Against Cork, we just got blown away, so it is good to have the chance to learn from the video of that game."
The St Judes star is still at a loss to explain what happened.
"The first two line-balls I let in, I just wasn't switched on," he confessed. "I was switched out of midfield very quickly after and was annoyed with myself, (for) simply not being switched on.
"We were coming in on a high from the Tipperary and Kilkenny games so maybe it brought us back down to earth," he mused.
Sutcliffe knows that such a high-profile loss at HQ gives fuel to those who argue that Dublin's hurlers are not as good once you take them out of the tight confines of their home patch and criticise them for 'losing big' when games have gone beyond them.
"The elephant in the room is people only think you can play in Parnell Park," he conceded but he believes their demolition of Limerick in the subsequent league quarter-final answered those critics.
"You've seen the way we performed and moved the ball the last day, I'd prefer to be in Croke Park with players like Mark (Schutte) with his pace and power. I don't think that's an issue," he insisted.
Dublin are boosted by Conal Keaney's availability after he successfully appealed a ban mid-week. Sutcliffe said justice was done and blamed the 'Sunday Game' analysts for over-analysing an incident.
"It was a joke that it came up in the first place," he said. "It would have been awful for him to lose out at this time of year but luckily they (the CHC) did the right thing, which was to over-rule it."
Keaney is one of the high-profile players to whom new manager Ger Cunningham has given a new role this year,
"It's the exact same thing (as half-forward), winning high balls above his opponent, and he's enjoying it back there and giving us so much from wing-back now," Sutcliffe said.
The 23-year-old wasn't involved when Dublin broke through to win the league in 2011 so reaching the final would be special for him and he reckons Nowlan Park will be buzzing tomorrow.
"Hopefully it might be at full capacity and make for a good atmosphere."

There are three distinct alcohol belts in Europe: the vodka belt, the wine belt, and most important to us, the beer belt. These are regions that are closely associated with a particular traditional beverage, rather than what is popular today in those regions.
The vodka belt is the north and eastern bloc of countries that consists of the Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland), the Baltic countries (Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania), Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, no surprise, Russia. These countries produce over 70% of the vodka consumed in the European Union.
The wine belt is south of the beer and vodka belts and is comprised of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bulgaria, most of Austria, San Marino, Switzerland, Romania, France and Southern Federal District of Russia.
And finally there is the beer belt, which is north of the wine belt and west of the vodka belt.. The beer belt consists of the countries of Belgium, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, some parts of Austria, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Central Federal District of Russia, the northern and eastern (German-speaking) cantons of Switzerland and some French regions.
The Beer Belt is also known as The Grape Line, which is a rough border that denotes where grapes for wine will and won't grow. North of it, grapes don't grow well, but hops and barley do, up to a certain latitude; hops won't grow at all in Scotland. Barley is also sensitive to climate, which is the reason for more rye and oat-based beers out of that region throughout history, because they're more hearty than barley. Interestingly, either because of effort or climate change, there has been a spark of wine making in South Britain and the Low Countries in the last few years.
Interestingly enough, The Grape Line also denotes the northern border of the Roman empire, aside from Britain. The Greeks and the Romans both considered beer a barbarian's drink, while wine was considered a civilized person's drink of choice.

ah yess...that's my hand there, which i kept in front of my table lamp. i then exposed the camera for 16 sec handheld, moving my other hand in sync with te hand in the picture, thus getting those streaky lights and the blurred hand.
sorry, this one didn't really belong in any other threads, this was the closest i could find. it's the first digital picture i ever took. the framing is awful and i probably should have taken it in color to begin with (more options).
interseting viewpoint though--and welcome to the abstracts thread (the best in the site! :D ) well--it's not exactyl abstract, but you juxtaposition of the bible and the cigarettes is certainly intersting--keep posting!
a mistake i've come to like.

Trinidad Drilling To Resume Work on Six Haynesville Rigs
Trinidad Drilling Ltd. has agreed to resume the construction of six new contracted drilling rigs that were delayed earlier in 2009 due to weak industry conditions.
"The addition of six new built-for-purpose style rigs continues our strategic deep-drilling focus and strengthens Trinidad's position as one of the leading unconventional shale drillers in North America," said Lyle Whitmarsh, Trinidad's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our customer's ongoing commitment shows their satisfaction with our performance to date and their belief in our ability moving forward."
Trinidad and its customer have agreed to resume the construction of six new drilling rigs that were put on hold earlier in 2009. The rigs remain under five-year, take-or-pay contracts with the original customer and the terms of the contract are unchanged. The drilling rigs are 18,000 feet triple rigs with 1,500 horsepower AC drawworks and are equipped with Trinidad's in-house, state-of-the-art technology and automation. The rigs will be built at Trinidad's rig manufacturing facility, Victory Rig Equipment, and are expected to be completed by the end of 2010; the first rig's delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010.
Trinidad estimates that it will take an additional $60 million to complete the construction on these rigs. The customer has compensated Trinidad for the interest on the initial capital spent on the construction of these rigs while they were on hold.
The new rigs are destined for operations in the Haynesville shale in Louisiana, bringing Trinidad's total rig count in the area to 31 and growing the Company's already industry-leading market share in this key shale play. Trinidad's modern, deep-capacity fleet is well suited to unconventional shale drilling and the Company's strong performance in these areas has created a solid reputation as a driller of choice with some of the key shale operators. Including these new rigs, Trinidad will have approximately 45 percent of its fleet operating in the unconventional shale plays.
Following the completion of these rigs, Trinidad will have 53 rigs in Canada, 64 rigs in the US, 7 rigs in Mexico and 1 rig in Chile. As in the past, Trinidad's growth continues to be backed by long-term, take-or-pay contracts; including the rigs under construction, the Company has 50 percent of its fleet under long-term, take-or-pay contract with an average term remaining of more than two years.
Trinidad is a growth-oriented corporation that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol TDG and TDG.DB. Trinidad's divisions operate in the drilling, well-servicing, coring and barge-drilling sectors of the North American oil and natural gas industry. With the completion of the rigs under construction, Trinidad will have 125 land drilling rigs ranging in depths from 1,000 - 6,500 meters and operations in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Chile. In addition to its land drilling rigs, Trinidad has 22 service rigs, 20 pre-set and coring rigs and four barge rigs operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Trinidad is focused on providing modern, reliable, expertly designed equipment operated by well-trained and experienced personnel. Trinidad's drilling fleet is one of the most adaptable, technologically advanced and competitive in the industry.

Here is the link:
I went to the money exchange and exchange 2000 Chinese Yuan for 241 U.S. Dollars so I could go to Legends Tours here in Ulaan Baator and buy an Invitation, Visa, and pay for one night room in Moscow. I calculated this would cost around 175 - 200 U.S. Dollars.
So I walked into the Legends Tour Russian Tour operator office here in Ulaan Baator intending to pay the money, had the money in my pocket, and ready to go. When I walk in the girl said,
"Did you go to embassy yesterday?"
I said,
She said,
"I see you."
Then she starts,
"Why did you go to embassy, I told you not to go to Embassy, and now you have problems."
I said,
"I just asked about a Transit Visa, and he said it was 65 Dollars, so the Tourist Visa is only 70, and they take the same time.
She got a irritated and insinuated and said, that now she could not be sure she could get a Visa. She said, something about the man in the Embassy having different stories or hearing different stories.
I said,
"I just ask questions, and did not lie."
I ask her,
"Do you think I have lied to you?"
She shook and just stood sat there,
This went back and forth, and I shut up and listened, and in the end sat down and tried to listen. She is very impatient. This is how I felt that she was saying to me,
"You pay the any money I ask and stop asking question, why do you care how much money it cost?"
I am thinking… Who gives a shit if they go to a country full of assholes. I have to be worried about the police wanting a bribe, about drunks trying to rob me, and the place is Siberia. It is still very cold now and who cares? I want to go to Russia, but I want to insure that I enjoy the trip.
There is a term or they use a term in basketball, when they say,
"Do not force the play."
If you force the play in travel the cost doubles or triples. If I do not instinctually feel a good deal, it is better to pass.
I gave up and am going to Thailand.
Ulaan is easy or UB as they call it for Internet and food. They have large grocery stores, and Internet Cafes on every corner. The transportation is dodgy and not clear. The people are nice, but the men seem to hang around like drunks, I do not know if they are drunks, but this is not the type of place to walk around after dark.
The man at the Russian Embassy said I needed to get a Visa from Legends Tours or I would have troubles getting a Visa. I thought I would get a Transit Visa, but the man at the Embassy wants 65 dollars for that Visa, and the Tourist is only 70. I smell a rat, but I am getting a feeling that all of Russia is a rat. Reminds me of Mexico. So Mexico and Russia may be the same exploitive mentality.
I will go today and apply for the tourist visa with the legends tour. The mean girl forces me to buy a reservation in Moscow to get the ticket.
So the cost is about:
115 for Invitation and Tourist Visa
50 Dollars U.S. for the room in Moscow.
It would be a lot more, but I have beaten her down about 100 Dollars and am not getting the quick visa.
She says this will take 10 days.
I am trying to skip Russia, as I do not like to go to countries where they make life difficult, because my life is difficult. Better to go where life is easy and have a good life. Of course some people would not be happy unless they were not in the middle of a problem.
I will end up in Estonia by way of Saint Petersburg….. I think?
I have met maybe 10-15 people coming or arriving from Russia. Only one has been or seems very happy about Russia. A Ottawa French Canadian that likes to smoke cigarettes and drink. I think he like the debauchery of it, but who can be sure, it appears there is a seedy attraction for some people. He does say, and he has spent more time than most in Russia that it is very dangerous..
There is lots of people explaining or talking about the smugglers on the train. There is a constant opinion that you can bribe anyone in Russia and it is expected.
The Hostel is slowly changing people, as on week seems to be the time span that people stay in the Hostel before leaving.
I guess I have been here about four days, and am getting settled into life in Mongolia. I have written a friend of mine Nick in Moscow and he has replied, but I have no clear or definite plans on how to visit Russia.
I have learned that I will not travel or move if there is not a clear path in front of me, and a reason to leave a good situation. I feel a need make a list of all my choices or options before leaving Mongolia. It is easy and cost effective here to explore the possible options before the next step of this journey.
Jeff is a different type of traveler then me in that he travels fast and looks at all the tourist attractions. I travel very slow, stay, and live and try to understand the locals in a different way. But because he knows he is never staying he can enter and leave a country in two days, while I am committed to the idea that ever place deserves ten days and every country deserves a month.
I have a lot of options.
1. Transit Visa through Russia.
2. Tourist Visa through Russia.
1. Fly to Europe from Ulaam Baatar.
2. Fly to South East Asia from Ulaam Baatar
3. Go to Kazakhstan and across the Caspian Sea.
I will go to the CIA fact book and download the maps of the following countries so I can see or surmise the major cities and entry requirements for Americans.
1. Finland - Entry easy and just cross the border for USA people.
2. Latvia - Entry easy and just cross the border for USA people.
3. Lithuania - Entry easy and just cross the border for USA people.
4. Belarus
5. Ukraine
6. Poland
1. Poland, Germany, Sweden, or any country that is base of flying for Ryanair.com or Easyjet.com to fly to Rome for warmer weather.
2. Possibly camp in Sweden.

Trail Editor in DIY kit scandal!
Grainy it may be, but this video evidence from the workshop of Trail Magazine editor Matt Swaine proves conclusively that he did indeed make his own kit for this month�s Gear Guide issue.
Check out the full story of Matt�s DIY kit and check out the blueprint of how to make your own here!
Scroll down to see the video and how to make your own rucksack...
Nine steps to making your own ruck sack
�I started this project with absolutely no sewing experience,� says Trail editor Matt Swaine,
�having never used a sewing machine. In fact, I have never shown very much practical aptitude
for anything. This rucksack was the first of the outdoor projects I undertook. �
Step one: ordering
I first spoke to Pam at Pennine Outdoor � tel. (015242) 63377; www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk � who talked me through what I would need for this project. She sent me a roll of Cordura, tough nylon fabric for the snow lid, a selection of buckles, webbing and drawstrings, and padding for the back, straps and belt.
Step two: the design
I decided to base the design of my rucksack very vaguely on my Osprey Talon 33, which I�ve been using for quite a while. I measured out the dimensions and tinkered with them slightly to fit my requirements. I also cut out a newspaper model and Sellotaped it together to make sure that these dimensions would provide the kind of sack that was required.
Step three: cutting out
The design of my rucksack started out with the very simple aim of creating a fabric bucket (rough dimensions 56x30x18cm) with straps on. The �bucket� section was built from five panels of Cordura.
To cut them out I bought a pair of long-edge tailor�s scissors and tailor�s chalk. To pin them together I also needed dress-maker�s pins. All of these are available in your local haberdasher�s. I originally sewed the panels together very enthusiastically, before realising that I needed to get the back system in place. This is much easier to do before you�ve constructed the main body of the sack. So I had to unpick a lot of hard work and then start thinking about attaching straps to the main body of the pack.
Lesson: Get the back system build first!
Step four: shoulder straps.
Pam from Pennine Outdoor had sent me small square of Karrimat. I used this to create padding for the shoulder straps, for the belt and for a square on the back system. To make the shoulder straps I cut out a 38x7cm strip of Karrimat and then cut out a 51x18cm strip of Cordura. I turned the Cordura inside out to sew it together to create a sleeve for the padding. When this was done I turned it right way out and fed the material back into the sleeve. It was easy to sew these onto the main
body of the rucksack at the top � I had left a 9x9cm square of Cordura that could be solidly anchored to the body. To get the strap attached at the bottom of the bag, I once again had to unpick my stitches and create a triangle of Cordura that could be sewn into the seam to create a solid anchor point for the straps.
Step five: the belt
The belt was much easier than the main straps. Once again I had to create a sleeve for the padding by sewing a strip of Cordura together (dimensions: 74x17cm) and then turning this inside out and feeding the padding back in. I split the padding into four pieces, two of these to sit on the actual back of the sack and one on each hip. With two separate pieces of padding on the back I was able to anchor the belt onto the rucksack in three different places. I also fed the main webbing for the belt through the
Cordura sleeve for extra strength.
Step six: back padding
I used a small square of the Karrimat to give extra padding to the top of my back. I also used this to cover up the rather untidy attachment of the straps to the sack. After cutting out the square of Karimat I used a slightly larger square of Cordura to hold it in place.
Step seven: the main body
With the panels already cut out, it was a quick and easy job to bring the main body of the sack together. I was working with the sack turned inside out. It is important to pin the panels in place first and take the sewing process very slowly. There should be a button on your sewing machine to allow you to reverse your stitches. Do this at the end of each run of stitches to ensure a strong attachment. When the five panels were in place I created a snowlid with a section of nylon. I doubled over the nylon at the top to create a sleeve for the drawstring.
Step eight: the lid
Before the lid went onto my pack I was really please with my creation. Creating the lid was much harder than I expected, though. Mine was too large, and didn�t have the right shape or dimensions, and I didn�t have sufficient webbing at this stage to create a good strap for the lid. By this stage though I was rushing to meet my two week deadline for all the gear I was going to take on the Trail feature. If you�ve already made the rest of the pack you are in a good position now to make a lid that is tailored to your pack. Take your time and construct something that fits your pack well.
Step nine: on the hill
This pack worked brilliantly on the hill. It is light, comfortable and exceptionally practical. But most of all I get a real kick out of knowing that I made it!
Read about how this pack performed and see the other kit that I made: a waterproof, soft shell, mountain cap and tarp. And check out about a Trail reader�s homemade meths stove in the April 2009 issue of Trail � out NOW.

Reducing Street Fight Legal and Personal Risks. Are you afraid of conflict? This is a perfectly normal, and even healthy part of humans. Instinctively however, our brains tell us that conflict is dangerous, so our natural inclination is to do battle or run away. Since most conflicts are inevitable, learning to handle them in a healthy way is crucial. When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause harm to both the offender and the offended. This also applies to your relationship with friends and family. But when handled in a respectful and positive way, conflict provides an opportunity for growth, ultimately strengthening the bond between two people or let peace reign. By learning the skills you need for successful conflict resolution, you can keep your personal and professional relationships strong and growing. You can also keep yourself and your family safe with good conflict resolution skills.
Conflicts emerge from differences. It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideologies and beliefs. Most times, these differences look very trivial, but when a conflict provokes strong feelings, a deep personal need to feel safe, secure, respected and valued will be at the core of the problem. It happens everywhere; at work, at home, at school, on the streets and places of business and even online. In any of these situations, your security and that of people around you is very important, especially when a physical altercation or attack seems possible. In cases of the physical nature, your response sometimes could be healthy or unhealthy; healthy in the sense that you are ready to forgive and forget, you have the capacity to recognize and respond to important matters, you are able to seek compromise and avoid punishing, and a belief that resolution can support the interests of both you and the offender. The unhealthy response is the direct opposite of the healthy response, add to it the expectation of bad outcomes.
Try not to be overcome by emotions and tensed. If in such a situation, make sure your body language is calm and passive, even though you've already beaten the person a hundred times over in your head, do not look aggressive by putting up your fists to engage them. If they have their fists up, have yours up as well but open, this signifies a passive stance against attack. Also make sure, in a very loud tone of voice, you tell the person "stay away from me", "back off!", etc. if they seem to be getting into your personal space. One reason for this is to appear passive and threatened at the same time and to make sure any on looker or passers-by might bear witness in your favour if the situation manages to attract the police and ever gets to court.
Another reason is in case you are in an area where CCTVs are in operation, you really need to be loud and make sure you stand where the camera can capture both you and the assailant. Now, almost all CCTV cameras do not capture sound, so Make sure your hands are up to your shoulder or chest level in a "please stay back kind of position"; one stretched longer than the other, one leg front, one leg back. When this is viewed in case of evidence, the argument will likely be in your favour, especially if your witnesses heard you warn the assailant to back off. Like I said earlier, try as much as possible not to engage with anyone in a fist brawl in public, you'll never completely know the outcome. However, if it so happens that you have no other choice but to fight to defend yourself, here are a few tips;
- Do not start ground fighting, it's dangerous to do so in a street fight. While you're busy grappling and pinning each other down, he might just have knife and stab you.
- His friends could be around, join in and stomp you. I have seen it happen a lot.
- If he has a knife with him and you managed to deflect the attack and take the knife from him, depending on the laws, you have two choices, stab him with it to immobilize him or throw it far away.
- Make sure you are the first to call the police. If your assailant calls first, he is likely to become the victim and you the assailant, then you have to prove the reverse is the case.
One more thing to consider, more often than not when cases of self defense get to court, one recurring term used the "level of force" used. According to Rory Miller's tip on a "Quick Guide to Not Being Sued" in his book "Meditations on Violence", there's a minimum level of force (if you know the situation can be de-escalted by talking, don't throw a punch) and a maximum level (going all out for the kill), this one right here, in the eyes of the law makes the victim into the attacker.
So do well to check and update yourself with the legislations and laws on the use of force for self defense with your local authorities, it just might help.

Singapore February core exports rise for fourth straight month
Non-oil domestic exports to China soared 65.1% on year following a 36.9% rise in January
SINGAPORE (NewsRise) - Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose for the fourth straight month in February, boosted by the timing of the Lunar New Year holidays and stronger shipments to China as a recovery in global trade gained momentum.
February's non-oil domestic exports amounted to a seasonally adjusted 15.1 billion Singapore dollars ($10.8 billion) - a rise of 21.5% from a year ago - that was more than double January's expansion of 8.6%. The increase was the fastest since exports began their recovery in November last year, trade agency International Enterprise Singapore said on Friday.
IE Singapore said non-oil domestic exports to all the Southeast Asian city-state's 10 largest markets rose, with China showing the largest expansion of 65.1% "led by non-monetary gold, petrochemicals and specialised machinery". Exports to China, which is Singapore's largest market, had grown by 36.9% year-on-year in January.
Shipments to the European Union rose by 28.7%, reversing the 25.2% decline in January, while Taiwan bought 54.0% more products from Singapore, slowing from an increase of 75.3% in the previous month. The EU and Taiwan were the city-state's largest export markets after China in February.
In terms of product category, non-oil domestic exports of electronics grew 17.2% in February from a year ago, and petrochemicals shipments rose 45.3%.
"The encouraging export picture in February was due to a combination of a shift in the Chinese New Year holiday and the recovery in chip (semiconductor) sales, supported by steadying chemicals," said Song Seng Wun, an economist at CIMB Private Bank.
"Nonetheless, Singapore's latest export picture is consistent with improving regional and global exports," he added.
There were more working days in February 2017 compared to a year ago, as Chinese New Year was in January this year, while it was in February last year.
When the January and February figures are combined, non-oil domestic exports from the city-state rose by around 15% from a year, according to Song.
Singapore tracks non-oil domestic exports as they provide a better gauge of economic activity. This is because prices of refined oil products tend to be volatile, while total exports include the billions of dollars of goods produced elsewhere that are shipped through Singapore's mega container port.
Maybank Kim Eng's economist Chua Hak Bin, in a note earlier this week, said the world is now going through a "synchronized" global recovery, unlike in previous years when the rest of the world faced sluggish and divergent growth relative to the United States.
"Since late last year, Asia has seen a robust recovery in exports and trade-related services, lifting the fortunes of trade-dependent economies. This includes Korea and Taiwan in Northeast Asia, and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in Southeast Asia, where exports account for a larger proportion of GDP," he said.
Taiwan earlier this month said February exports jumped 27.7% from a year earlier, their fastest pace in six years, while South Korea reported a 20.2% growth last month, led by a 57% on-year surge in semiconductor shipments.
Economists have turned bullish about Singapore's growth prospects this year, following a surge in manufacturing output in recent months.
A quarterly survey released on Wednesday by the Monetary Authority of Singapore showed economists now expect gross domestic product to grow 2.3% in 2017, up from the median estimate of 1.5% in the previous survey.
The city-state's GDP expanded by 2.0% last year and authorities have projected growth of between 1% and 3% this year.
Singapore's non-oil domestic exports fell 2.8% in 2016, following a 1.5% gain in 2015.

Season No. 11 of hockey in Augusta will begin Oct. 17 in James Brown Arena. The Augusta Lynx, who released their 2008-09 schedule Wednesday, will play host to the Mississippi Sea Wolves in a Friday night matchup at 7:30.
The 72-game schedule was released late because of the loss of the Pensacola Ice Pilots this off-season and a separate dispute between the Lynx and Charlotte Checkers regarding game locations. The final product gave the Lynx 26 weekend games at home, including three in a row on the days immediately after Christmas and one against the Gwinnett Gladiators on New Year's Eve.
"Obviously, we asked for (the New Year's Eve game) because we're trying to turn that into a positive tradition around here. We've had a lot of fun with that in the past," Lynx co-owner and general manager Dan Troutman said. "I think we're probably slightly improved from where we were last year."
The Lynx will experience a dream month in February when nine of 12 games will be played at home, including six of seven weekend games. March, on the other hand, has only one weekend home game.
"I think the changes from the original version probably cost us a little bit," Troutman said.
The schedule pits the Lynx against their five ECHL South Division opponents in 65 of their games. Outside the division, the Lynx will face Dayton three times, Elmira twice and Reading and Trenton once each.
PLAYER SINGINGS: The Lynx have signed two more players. Veteran defenseman Jamie McKinven and rookie forward Scott Thauwald will join the team for training camp in early October.
Thauwald, a rookie out of Colorado College, has never been to Augusta and won't get much name recognition early on, but Lynx fans are familiar with his former college teammates, including Aaron Slattengren and James Brannigan, members of last season's Lynx team,
McKinven, who played for the Lynx last season, will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year's injury-plagued season. The defenseman missed five months with a knee injury.

August 2, 2011 - North American Soccer League (NASL) - Montreal Impact
News Release
MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact announced Wednesday that midfielder Sinisa Ubiparipovic has joined the club for the remainder of the 2011 season, following a one-week trial. The signing is pending his international transfer.
Ubiparipovic, who will turn 28 on August 25, was born in Bosnia. He played with the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, from 2007 to 2010. Ubiparipovic played 69 regular season games with the Red Bulls. In 2008, he helped New York reach the MLS Cup final after starting all four playoff games with the team that year.
A graduate of the University of Akron, he was drafted in the third round, 33rd overall, by the Red Bulls in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft.
"Sinisa is a creative midfielder who can provoke the opposing defense and make the decisive pass," said Impact sporting director Nick De Santis. "He did well at training over the last few days. He\'s a player with great qualities that will help us at midfield. He already knows several players so I don\'t think he will have trouble fitting in the team."
With the addition of Sinisa Ubiparipovic, the Impact has now 26 players on its roster. He will wear No. 28.
The Impact will play its next game, on Saturday, August 6, at 8pm at Saputo Stadium against the Minnesota Stars and will unveil its MLS logo. Tickets for this game are still available through Admission Network (admission.com / 514-790-1245) or at Saputo Stadium\'s ticketing office.

Government sources said there is �serious consideration� to frame laws which will allow the Centre to �regulate� law and order in states. Plans are also afoot to transfer police and public order subjects from the state list to the concurrent list.
The amendment is being planned to spell out clearly the parameters for Central intervention in the law and order of states. The issue is constitutionally a state subject but is not defined sharply.
The Centre will broach the issue at a meeting of state chief secretaries, home secretaries and directors-general of police on June 28. There is enough indication that all chief ministers will be sounded when they meet Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee and home minister L.K. Advani in the first week of July to discuss internal security.
State governments, particularly those opposed to the coalition at the Centre, are not likely to take kindly to the move. The last time the Centre tried to invoke Article 355 was in Bengal after a spurt in pre-poll violence ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
The home ministry had then sent a note to the Left Front that unless it checked the violence, the Centre would have no option but to invoke Article 355.
�The time has, perhaps, come for the Centre�s pro-active intervention in the management of internal security. The era of paper advisories seems to be giving way to the imperative of Constitutional directions and the next step will have to be action under Article 355,� a government source said.
Officials argued that Article 355 obliged the Union government to protect every state against internal disturbance. They pointed out that the Centre had never invoked Article 355 for suo motu deployment of security forces nor intervened by issuing directions under Articles 256 and 257.
The Centre sees for itself a role in tackling caste wars and curbing poll-related clashes, as well as checking extremist violence in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra, Orissa, Bihar and Maharashtra. The home ministry is also not satisfied with the states� response in checking ISI activities.
The Prime Minister�s Office has already cleared the setting up of a high-level, four-member team headed by Union home secretary Kamal Pande to study and recommend the establishment of a Central Law Enforcement Agency to investigate �federal crimes�.
The proposed agency will have the Constitutional authority to investigate all designated federal crimes in any part of the country without having to take permission from state governments.
As chief minister Farooq Abdullah moved to seize the initiative from rival political forces � the Hurriyat in the main � on the question of delivering the long-promised autonomy package, the Opposition in the state alleged he was indulging in �gimmickry�.
While the leader of the Jammu and Kashmir People�s Democratic Party, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, alleged that Abdullah�s only aim in calling the special session was to �sabotage� Delhi�s efforts to establish dialogue with the Hurriyat, the state BJP leadership said the chief minister was trying to provoke sentiments on the autonomy issue because the National Conference was feeling isolated.
�Whenever he is weak and isolated, Abdullah raises the autonomy issue,� said Abdul Rashid Kabli, state BJP vice-president. �This is nothing but a political stunt,� he added.
Mufti, who returned to full-time politics after his daughter Mehbooba built a base for herself in Anantnag, rubbished Abdullah�s move. �He is just raising the bogey of autonomy, because he wants to sidetrack the Centre�s talks with the Hurriyat,� he said.
The National Conference � and Abdullah � have watched with growing nervousness as the Centre has released one Hurriyat leader after another and more than dropped hints that it is preparing for talks. If the Hurriyat goes to the negotiating table and is able to fetch a promise on greater autonomy, Abdullah sees his political fortunes dwindling further.
He has been upset about the Centre�s intentions of opening talks with the Hurriyat and has said privately that he felt �betrayed� by the BJP government, of which he is an ally. His son, Omar, is Union minister of state for commerce and industry.
The chief minister has been telling colleagues and private audiences that elements in the Centre are trying to keep him out of the autonomy talks and are also keeping him in the dark on the possibility of Centre-Hurriyat negotiations. No wonder, National Conference leaders and rank and file are eager that a resolution on autonomy be passed in the session beginning tomorrow.
Pressure is growing from within the ruling party on a slightly harder line as many feel that if it is not able to bargain with the Centre now, it will become more politically outflanked than it is now.
A meeting presided over by Abdullah was held at the residence of general secretary Sheikh Nazir Ahmad yesterday. Most MLAs favoured a resolution being moved and passed during the week-long session in Srinagar.
Stringent security arrangements have been made around the Assembly, which was recently targeted by the militants.
�As far as I know, there is no such thing as match-fixing,� he told UNI in an interview.
Reaffirming what he had told a Hyderabad-based paper last week, the former captain said he had no intention of staying away from the game till his name was cleared. �Cricket is my livelihood, my passion, my love. One mere allegation. Why should I resign?� the stylish batsman said.
Almost all of the interview was an iteration of what he had said earlier, except for the explosive allegation that he was being �victimised because he belonged to the minority community�. But there was no retraction of that statement either.
What he clearly intends to pursue is legal remedy and his list of defamation candidates is growing by the day. As soon as his counsel, Mahesh Jethmalani, returns from abroad, Azhar will despatch legal notices to Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Manoj Prabhakar, tax official Vishwa Bandhu Gupta, a weekly magazine, a Mumbai eveninger, an Internet portal and fast-food outlet McDonalds. Hansie Cronje can also brace for an Azhar legal missile. �I don�t know why Cronje has done this. My lawyer will be sending him notice also,� he said.
Azhar is sticking to the conspiracy theory. �I can�t explain, but I know this is a much larger gameplan, a conspiracy with the sole intention to malign me. Particularly in the last two years, I had a feeling of being victimised,� he said. This is the period when he has been in and out of the team after Sachin Tendulkar was handed back the captaincy.
�Why did the press keep quiet when 16 bookies attended a cricketer�s wedding and gifted his wife an expensive diamond necklace? Doesn�t this prove I alone am being singled out? There is a lobby of jealous ex-cricketers who want me out of the team,� Azhar said.
Drawing strength from Allah, family and friends, Azhar said he had nothing to hide. �This house (in Hyderabad) is rented. My flat in Mumbai is very ordinary. All my accounts are clear.�
Arguably, the best-dressed player in the Indian team, Azhar acknowledged that people do talk about his clothes. But, then, �nowadays, even children want only Polo, Versace, Reebok shoes. They do not like Bata,� he told the news agency. Wonder, what Thomas Bata would think of this slight.
Latif offer
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has volunteered to appear before South Africa�s commission, adds AFP. �Cronje�s confession was not full. He should have named Australian players who are also involved,� Latif said.
Vijay Kumar Ekka, the 23-year- old cook who witnessed the murder of Brother George Kunjikundam on June 7 near Mathura, was picked up from his home by Sunil Kumar Sharma, the SHO who was suspended after the missionary was killed.
Sharma was later found in a field near his house with the body of Ekka, which bore multiple injuries. Sources said a panicky Sharma had earlier rushed Ekka�s body to the district hospital, where he was told that the patient was already dead.
Sharma claimed in a first information report that Ekka had gone to his house to make some �disclosures� and had �strangulated himself�. Amid mounting pressure and spreading outrage, the police arrested Sharma and an alleged accomplice, constable Dinesh Kumar Upadhyaya. Both have been charged with murder and lodged in Mathura jail. A magisterial probe has been ordered.
Agra Archbishop Vincent Concessao, who saw Ekka�s body last night, said in Delhi: �There were no ligature marks on Ekka�s body to show that he had committed suicide. He was tortured and there were injury marks near his eyes, nose and shoulder.�
Ekka�s neighbours also said Sharma had been �repeatedly picking him up and beating him up� on one pretext or the other. They added that the suspended officer had been harassing Ekka�s wife Gloria.
Ekka and his wife drew the officer�s ire after they lodged a first information report, saying that around 10 assailants had barged into the St. Francis School in Navada, 8 km from Mathura, and killed Brother George, who was the warden of the boys� hostel.
Ekka had also mentioned that �the fifth such attack on Christian missionaries and their institutions has left the community terrorised�. The police have been claiming that the crime was committed by a gang of dacoits. Around 12 Bavarias, a tribe from Rajasthan, were rounded up a few days ago, but were freed after preliminary interrogation.
Archbishop Concessao said Ekka was held illegally at Navada police station for seven days. Ekka had complained to the brothers of the congregation that he was being tortured. �Vijay would say that the policemen poured water through his nostrils, applied electric shock and inserted pins through his nails so that he owned up to the murder of George,� the archbishop said.
The archbishop had appealed to chief minister R.P. Gupta on June 7 to intervene and protect the minorities. The chief minister had expressed serious concern and directed the administration to take immediate steps to provide security to �all those who feel a need for it�.
Ten-year-old Randheer, who had seen his 15-year-old brother being shot in the neck by Ranbir Sena men, was still living in the nightmare. The Sena bullets had killed his mother too.
Randheer and his brother had started running when they saw the marauding crowd almost upon them. But his brother fell down, was caught and shot as Randheer hid himself behind haystacks.
As the boy lay groaning, Laloo held his hand and lifted him. Fifteen yards away, a sudden rumble of fire rippled across the rows of pyres and the horizon was lit up. The silence had been replaced by the mourners� wails.
The day dawned dark and overcast after 40 villagers were massacred by the Ranbir Sena in Mianpur on Friday night. Twenty-five bodies, the skulls smashed by close-range firing, were cremated on an open field adjacent to the village. Fifteen others were cremated later on Saturday as police handed over the bodies after conducting the post-mortem in the village itself.
Mianpur village, comprising over 100 mud hutments, had been the placid home of the poor Yadavs, Paswans and other backward groups. Last season, the villagers, most of whom are small landholders, had a good crop, reflected in the new straw roofs.
The domination of the Yadavs appears to have prompted the Ranbir Sena to identify the village for their �retributive justice�, borne out by the brutality of the caste carnage.
The Sena had strewn the muddy lanes separating one row of mud houses from another with bodies of women � their skulls were blown up and brains splattered on walls.
Children, helpless and unprotected, were killed with casual brutality. At the southern end of the village, a 10-year-old boy had tried to run away. He fell in a nullah. He was shot in his ear in the murky ditch.
The savagery has Mianpur numb with grief. �We are about to lose our sanity. The nightmare refuses to end,� says Vinod Kumar, a 45-year-old who lit the pyre of his pregnant wife.
The backdrop to the killing could not be more picturesque. This part of Aurangabad, neighbouring Tuturkhi, Senari and Harsha, seems like God�s own country in its pastoral grandeur.
The fertile grasslands and patches of forest were sustaining the rural economy. The lands are dotted with sprawling water tanks.
Tranquil though it appears, Mianpur had been tense since the massacre at Senari last year. Last March, the MCC had hacked to death 34 Bhumihar men, sparking off a wave of tension in all the villages and sharpening caste polarisations.
The cycle of revenge started. The Sena men had been suspecting that the Yadav-dominated Mianpur village, just 3 km from Senari, had a hand in the killings of Bhumihars, although the villagers refuted this allegation.
The Ranbir Sena this morning owned up responsibility for the killings. �This is our answer to the Senari, Afsar, Dalelchowk and Baghora Bara massacres�, said Sena spokesman Samshed Bahadur Singh in a release.
Challenging Laloo�s style of functioning, the release said the bloodbath would continue as long as the state government would maintain its discriminatory rule.
The police today said 10 persons have been following last night�s raids. They are being interrogated. The marauders appeared to have come from Bhojpur district, headquarters of the Ranbir Sena, police said.
�The accused appeared to be new recruits. A new feature of this massacre is that all victims were shot on their body parts above the neck,� said a senior police officer in Gaya. Paramilitary forces have been deployed in the area.
Bihar director-general of police K.A. Jacob said he would take action against police personnel at Saharsha outpost for not taking prompt action.
Residents called a bandh today in Aurangabad.
The two feuding veterans agreed to sheathe their knives after being told that their public spat might cost the party in the June 25 civic polls, where the Trinamul Congress-BJP combine has emerged as a major challenger.
The leadership�s tough-talk came after both Biswas and Chakraborty issued statements and counter-statements for nearly a week, much to the party�s embarrassment. There was also the fear that it could send a wrong signal to workers at the grassroots level and encourage dissidents.
�The joint rally, we hope, will help us salvage the lost ground,� a senior party functionary said.
Sources in the party said chief minister Jyoti Basu, who personally intervened to broker the temporary truce, called for the joint meeting.
It was the transport minister who triggered the controversy last week when he openly criticised the Left Front government for ignoring the plight of daily-wage earners in the state.
Stung by the remarks, an infuriated Biswas shot back, saying the minister should resign if he thought that the government had done nothing for them.
The situation took an ugly turn when Chakraborty, reacting to Biswas� suggestion, said at Writers� Buildings that he wouldn�t step down at the instance of others.
Despite the pre-election patch-up, party insiders say that though Chakraborty has agreed to share the dais with Biswas, he would only campaign for those who are close to him.
They said he would address a rally in ward 11 where his brother-in-law Nanda Gopal Bhattacharya was a contestant and also take part in a rally in ward 21 where one of his close aides, Asim Guha, was in the fray.
Sources close to Chakraborty said he wouldn�t, however, campaign in wards 9, 15 and 23, where his rivals were contesting. In the last two, Subhas-loyalists are reportedly backing the dissidents.
The CPM is determined to retain the Salt Lake civic body. It has decided to rope in high-profile leaders like Politburo member Biman Bose and a host of ministers � including Asim Dasgupta, Satyasadhan Chakraborty, Ashok Bhattacharya, Anju Kar and Minati Ghosh � for campaigning.

Ron Hawkins: Favored Canadian Icon Picks Buffalo for New Year's Eve Gig
by Patrick Sawers - posted 2:26 pm, December 27, 2014
For most touring musicians, a stop in Buffalo is little more than an afterthought – a last-minute addition to the itinerary to fill a calendar gap while en route to scheduled shows in larger markets like Cleveland or New York City.
For Toronto's Ron Hawkins, on the other hand, Buffalo is more like a home away from home, a place to play and receive a hero's welcome from his dedicated fan base as he plows through his vast catalogue of songs. Hawkins has been experiencing this for nearly 25 years, first as the front man for Lowest of the Low, then solo act, the band Rusty Nails and now with his current band the Do Good Assassins. Since his career took off in the very early '90s he's been stopping by Buffalo least twice a year, and as a result he has really gotten to know our city.
Folks here have really gotten to know him too.
Hawkins recently recalled one sweltering hot night in July 1997 when the Rusty Nails had just finished up their set at the Buffalo Nickel Lounge, a tiny and long-gone bar on Pearl Street.
"The dressing room was through the crowd and down the stairs in the basement," he said. "We had decided to come back out and do the encore in our underwear (it was just that stiflingly hot out), and when we finished the encore and walked through the crowd the groping began. Sure enough, the door to the basement had closed and locked as well, so we got to know our intimate Buffalo fan base even that much more intimately," he laughed.
Beyond that experience, though, most area listeners are familiar with Hawkins through his music – unfailingly brilliant melodies accompanied by expertly crafted lyrics that tend to romanticize and find beauty in everyday people, places and things. A keen observer of his own city (the Lowest of the Low's first album "Shakespeare… My Butt" famously referenced some very specific spots and locations in and around Toronto), Hawkins has also watched Buffalo change and develop over the years, from the boarding up of innumerable small businesses to the current spate of gentrification and urban renewal.
"I've seen things change in both directions, I guess," Hawkins said by e-mail recently. "It seems when we first started coming down that Allentown and the Elmwood strip were really happening. We used to go do in-stores at New World Records and Home of the Hits, and we had our favorite morning-after breakfast spots, etc. Then we started seeing places close down, and every time we came back there would be another haunt boarded up and gone under. But now, recently, there seems to be a revitalization effort happening – the waterfront and the silos, etc. I guess like anywhere we'll have to see if this is a renaissance or just another white middle class nightmare – or fodder for an episode of 'Portlandia.'"
As a musician, Hawkins has played countless venues in the area, many of them long, long gone like the afore-mentioned Buffalo Nickel Lounge, the Star Bar, the Gargoyle and the Showplace Theatre, just to name a few. Hawkins has watched establishments come and go, and like many Buffalonians he's attached to certain spots that have managed to withstand the whirlwind of economic turnover.
One of these, he said, remains a post-concert favorite.
"The Pink, it reminds me of so many Toronto haunts I've had over the years – the Only Café, Sneaky Dees and others. Not in size or even ambience but the fact that it's a home base for so many after-hours artists, musicians, deadbeats, hobos and glamor-pusses of every type. You can go in and have a few drinks and unwind and then run into 20 people you've met over the last couple decades. Just a great way to come down from a show."
Despite the fact that a hundred miles of highway is all that separates Toronto from Buffalo, getting here isn't always easy. For any traveling musician getting through border bureaucracy with band gear to play a gig can be a fantastic hassle, even a nightmare. He showed up four hours late to play an Artvoice Street Festival once because he was stuck at the border crossing.
"On one hand I'll have guards waving across the desk – 'Hey Ron, you got a show tonight?' – and then on a couple occasions there have been weird mix-ups with my info in the computer. For instance, once I was mistaken for a Quebecois gun-running drug dealer! No matter how much it must've seemed incongruous that I would be the guy, the guard kept grilling me on priors, etc. I kept saying, 'You can see on the screen how many times I've crossed to do shows over the last 25 years. Why did this never come up before? And more importantly, when would I have time to be a gun runner?' So every crossing is a new adventure."
Hawkins' next adventure will be "Garden Songs," a new 10-track CD he recorded with the Do Good Assassins, due out February 3 on Pheromone Recordings. It's what Hawkins calls a "ballads album," five beautifully melodic new songs as well as revisited versions of some of the more relaxed numbers from the artist's back catalogue. Songs like "Small Victories," "Peace and Quiet" and "D.F.W." all benefit from the DGA treatment, while new ones like "South Ontario" and "Kingdom of the Sun" show that even after all this time Hawkins is still gaining ground as a songwriter.
Buffalo fans will get their chance to hear these and plenty more come New Year's Eve, when the Do Good Assassins will share a twin bill with critically-acclaimed troubadour Willie Nile, a Buffalo-born singer/songwriter who made quite a splash in the Greenwich Village music scene back in the 1970s. Since then Nile has remained something of an enigma, but his 2013 album "American Ride" has drawn incredibly high praise in the press and widespread exaltation from his fans and his peers.
"I've loved Willie ever since I met him at the Halifax Urban Folk Fest in Nova Scotia," said Hawkins. "We instantly hit it off over topics like rock n' roll, cars, anarchy, rock n' roll, poetry and rock n' roll. Willie's really into rock n' roll!"
As for the Do Good Assassins, Hawkins said "the band is killer tight and will be pretty pumped when we hit the stage for two sets that night. If I'm not arrested in my underwear at the border we'll see you all at the Pink afterward."
Ron Hawkins & The Do Good Assassins with the Willie Nile Band play The Tralf (3690 Main St. / 835-3500) on Wednesday, December 31st. Two shows: Early Show (7pm doors / 7:30pm show) and Late Show (10:30 doors / 11pm show). Tickets $25 – $55, available at Ticketmaster and www.tralfmusichall.com.

Since 1962 David Stewart has developed an award-winning range of single malts and blends which have earned him some of the industry's top accolades and helped William Grant & Sons scoop Distiller of the Year an unprecedented five times at the International Spirits Challenge.
To commemorate his 50th year, he will release "a number of exciting launches", according to brand ambassador Andrew Forrester, who hinted the Balvenie is shaking up its range.
The Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask will become part of the distillery's core range and will be available "everywhere" at an RRP of £42.
Standing next to a giant barrel containing Batch Six of his famed Tun 1401 whisky, in the Balvenie distillery's Warehouse 24, Stewart spoke about the Caribbean rum-infused whisky, which has been available in the USA for a year.
"I am very proud of it – this expression is a beautifully-rounded 14-year-old whisky," he said.
"We used a blend of rums from Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and a few months of rum cask maturation complements the Balvenie single malt very well.
"We bring this rum into the distillery from the Bristol Spirits Company and put it into our own barrels for six months so that the rum soaks into the wood of our barrels.
"Then we move the rum on to another barrel and fill the empty barrel with Balvenie that has been in American oak barrels for 14 years and leave it to finish for four to five months.
"It adds this kind of tropical sweetness, a flowery and fragrant honeyed spicy, kind of caramel, toffee, citrus flavour.
"It is unmistakably Balvenie but with added sweetness.
"I have enjoyed experimenting with all the rums. I have tried all sorts of spirits – we have used cognac, armagnac and so on but they haven't worked – but rum works really well."
Forrester added: "David just gets free reign and experiments with whatever he feels like, and there have been great results – we are expecting more in the future."
The new expression comes with an ABV of 43% and is now part of the established range of Balvenie Single Malts – 12 Year Old DoubleWood, 12 Year Old Signature, 15 Year Old Single Barrel, 21 Year Old PortWood and the Thirty Year Old.
"We have more news coming up," said Forrester. "It's a step towards constructing a taste ladder that will create clarity for our drinkers.
"Consumers need clarity and don't always know enough about The Balvenie, so moving from a 12 year-old to a 14 year-old is an easy journey."

Solutions for Nuisance Birds
Bird Control Limits Messy Situations
Most people don't think of birds as pests. When given the opportunity, however, birds can create a huge mess and be quite destructive to a person's dwelling.
In Ohio, certified nuisance wild animal control operators are allowed to remove and/or destroy the nests and eggs d at any time of the following birds:
- European Starlings
- English Sparrows
- Common Pigeons (other than homing pigeons)
Crows, woodpeckers, geese, ducks, mute swans, and wild turkeys area able to be removed under very specific circumstances when the correct governmental organization with jurisdiction gives approval. It gets a little confusing.
All other birds are protected and cannot be harmed in any way during interactions.
Not harming them is often no problem as there are exclusion methods used to dissuade birds from using property for nest and roosting sites that do not harm the birds.
Frontline Animal Removal will investigate your bird problem and create a solution based upon the bird species.
Bird Removal for Akron/Canton/Kent OH
Common bird calls for us deal often times deal with starlings and pigeons.
Starlings, for example, are cavity nesters; birds which build their nests inside of something. Favorite nesting spots are soffits, vents, and attics if available. Because of this habit, starlings are a common nuisance species in the Akron/Canton/Kent area, especially in nesting time.
Here are some pictures of starling issues:

Tearful final farewell to Belfast boxer Manuel Caddell
Grieving friends and family gathered at St Peter's Cathedral Church in west Belfast yesterday for the funeral of boxer Manuel Caddell who died last week in a car crash near Crumlin.
The 22-year-old west Belfast man left behind a young daughter, Mya, and partner, Roisin Farrelly.
Via social media, Ms Farrelly thanked the many people who sent messages of condolence, and shared her anguish at the loss of Manuel.
"Thank you everyone for your kind messages. My heart has been ripped apart," she wrote.
"Please Manuel, just let us all wake up and let this be a big dream.
"I don't know what I will do without you. You were my rock. You're with your daddy now, your best friend! ߒ?
"Me and Mya will be lost without you. Please give me the strength to cope!
"I love you forever.
"Until we meet again, my special angel."
Mr Caddell was buried at Milltown cemetery following the funeral Mass.
He had been a member of St Agnes' Boxing Club. Coach James Taylor said: "Manuel was a very talented boxer who will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him."

Changed thermostat and fluids, still overheating
I suddenly had my car overheat. I checked fluids,
oil, tranny, and radiator fluid. Was a quart low on oil
(my bad) and the radiator only took about 20
ounces of coolant. I checked for leaks; head
gasket, radiator and hoses: they were all good. So I
changed out the thermostat... It's still overheating.
I thought temp sensor, but I'm not getting
diagnostic code or even a check engine light for it.
It heats up when I'm on the highway so I ease
down the RPM and it's settles to normal running
temp on dash. I tried turning on the heater vents to
help cool it, but that made the temp spike again. I
can sit at idle and it's at normal temp not matter
how long it runs, but shortly after I get moving, it
will begin to rise. If I leave A/C going it will get hot
fast, if I shut off A/C it will slowly settle. I can also
drive through town (w/ all the stops and go's) and
not have a problem with the running temp. It
seems to be when I run in 4th gear that it wants to
overheat. What could be the problem? It's a 2004

Just a guess, but maybe your cooling fan has a weak motor and is overcome by highway speed air?
Hi Mary, Did you try changing the temp. sender (sending unit) ?
