Leaf Rapids mayor claims innocence in mail theft case
Geraldine Cockerill, a former postmistress, charged with fraud, forgery, theft
The mayor of Leaf Rapids, Man., says she can't believe she's been charged with fraud, forgery and theft of mail.
RCMP announced Wednesday it has laid 28 charges against Geraldine Cockerill, 56, who has been mayor of the northern Manitoba town since the fall of 2010.
According to police, Cockerill was working at the post office in Leaf Rapids when several complaints were made to RCMP in May 2010 by Canada Post and federal Employment and Income Assistance officials.
Investigators found "a number of fraudulent transactions occurred between December 2009 and April 2010, including forged signatures on Employment and Income Assistance cards and cheques," RCMP stated in a release.
Cockerill told CBC News while she cannot discuss details of the case, she believes it's a misunderstanding involving one individual who no longer lives in Leaf Rapids.
Cockerill said she has been co-operating with RCMP, but she can't believe she has been charged.
"This all started two years and eight months ago. That's how long it has taken them to come up with any little thing that they have," she said.
The charges Cockerill faces include:
- Four counts of fraud under $5,000.
- Eight counts of uttering a forged document.
- Eight counts of forgery.
- Eight counts of theft from mail.
She is scheduled to appear in court on March 20.
Cockerill said she is innocent, and she believes most of the 450 residents of Leaf Rapids will support her, so she intends to stay on as mayor while she fights the charges.
"I'm an honest person, I'm very helpful to people, so that's how I got in as mayor," she said.
"It's all the people that got me in there that know exactly what I'm like and know that this is bullshit."
Under Manitoba's Municipal Act, elected officials who are charged with an offence are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If any municipal official in Manitoba is convicted of an offence that carries a sentence of five years or more in prison, that person would be disqualified from holding office.
Since Cockerill has not been convicted of anything, she does not have to step down as mayor at this time, according to provincial officials.
Resident Viola Cook said news of Cockerill's arrest has rocked the community.
"I think that a lot of people are still trying to grasp at the idea, trying to let it sink in that … this is really what's happening with our mayor," she said.
The town of Leaf Rapids is located about 750 kilometres by air northwest of Winnipeg.

It has been more than a year since I last wrote a blog here and I regret it. I started using my Facebook page, Na's music corner ( https://www.facebook.com/namusicworld) and I completely abandoned these pages.
I am still going to a lot of gigs, dj-set and events and I barely have time to dedicate to other activities *apart from working during the day, of course*. I really want to start writing again, especially as the summer season is full of festivals and other interesting events. In the next months I will be in Barcelona for Sonar, at Field Day, Lovebox, Wireless Festival, Hard Rock Calling and more and I really hope to take pics and write brief reviews about them.
So, see you soon!

The former Conservative party treasurer is considering legal action against the Twitter users, including Sally Bercow, wife of the Commons Speaker.
Lord McAlpine was named online as a result of a Newsnight report which wrongly accused a senior Conservative of paedophilia.
McAlpine is understood to have been advised that he has a strong case for seeking damages from the BBC because it failed to put the allegation to him as well as prompting false speculation on the internet.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – With snow in the forecast, the stores are already seeing shoppers buy milk and bread.
Yes, there's always that fear of getting trapped inside your home during a snowstorm for days but why the rush to buy up all the milk and bread?
Year after year this seems to happen but apparently not just in North Carolina.
According to AccuWeather, New England takes the credit for this tradition. New Englanders purchased milk and bread prior to a monumental blizzard in 1978 that trapped many in their homes for weeks.
But in 2014, writer Virginia Montanez set out to answer this now age old question for Pittsburgh Magazine. She discovered a newspaper reference to milk on November 24, 1950 that read "the one shortage that has hit all sections." She also discovered another reference to bread as being "doled out in some stores" due to nearly three feet of snow.
Some make references that you need bread, milk, and eggs for French toast. But when you think about it, you also need milk for snow cream!

What makes the peninsula of Baja California such a wonderful place to visit is the fact that it has several large and populous resort towns and cities as well as plenty small and charming villages and coastal towns. Now and again, tourists and vacationers may grow tired of the same luxurious beaches and emerald green golf courses and desire to be somewhere rustic and quaint. One such place that Baja tourists may go to is the coastal town of San Quintin in the municipality of Ensenada.
San Quintin is located at the western regions of Baja California where its white sand beaches line the vibrant blue waves of the Pacific Ocean. Surfers, fishing enthusiasts, scuba divers, swimmers and beach lovers in general are sure to take delight in San Quintin's numerous bays and beaches, all of which are distinctly magnificent. This Baja town is also a haven for different kinds of birds which is why it is one of the very few places in Baja California where you can try geese or quail hunting.
Enjoy a relaxing morning of bird watching, a quaint afternoon of clam digging and an appetizing night of dining out while staying in San Quintin, Baja California.

What about the Whigs?
As Democrats and Republicans kick off the final countdown to the Nov. 4 election, strategists at U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers have done some interesting data mining.
Figures looking back economic conditions in 1948-2007 show the economy under Democrats enjoyed a higher GDP growth rate (4.2 percent vs 2.8 percent for Republican adminsitrations) and a lower average unemployment rate (5.1 percent vs 5.9 percent).
Looking at a longer timeframe since 1828, however, Lehman strategists found that government and corporate bonds fared better when a Republican occupied the White House (it excluded Whigs).
On average, Treasury bonds returned 4.82 percent preceding an election year with a Republican incumbent (3.38 percent for a Democratic one).
Equities fared less well with a Democratic incumbent during an election year (9.13 percent) while averaging 13.76 percent with a Republican incumbent during an election.
But Lehman ends the research with a disclaimer: "Trading rules based on such long-term averages suffer from potential data-mining distortions… Before embarking upon any portfolio course based mainly on 'election-cycle averages', let's wait for the outcome of the election."

A Note on Racing
Who does not enjoy speed? Even when we were younger, we enjoy pushing our toy cars to speed them up. People have enjoyed the competition for as long as there have been vehicles to race. Long before motorized vehicles were discovered, there were already animals being used as transportation and having them race each other was already being enjoyed. Try to remember ancient history, in the Roman Empire, there were those luxurious chariots that were used by the king and the royals.
It has evolved into a lot of categories but all of which provide enough excitement. Single seater races such as Formula 1 Racing has drawn a lot of followers because of its extreme speed. This is probably the most famous motor sports where it involves a lot of specially designed high-speed cars. These are open-wheels cars where most of the cars have aerofoil wings in the front and as well as rear to have a better adhesion to the track. For all racing enthusiast in the world, this is the highest level of motor sport where all car racers want to take part of.
Another race that belongs to the one seater is Kart racing but this is much cheaper when it comes to cost while the vehicles as well as the tracks are much smaller. There are other types of races such as drag racing, off-road, hill climbing, ice-racing, touring car racing and a lot more. Each one has its own following from all over the world. Different people have their own preferences but one thing that is very evident among all these, are the level of excitement it provides that is why more people are getting pulled in. It does not matter whether you are a man or a woman. It has lured a lot because of the exhilarating fun.

Nearly a month after acquiring five per cent in the National Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs has proposed to buy a stake in the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), India's largest commodity bourse.
Sources said Goldman Sachs, which holds seven per cent in the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Ltd (NCDEX), the other leading commodity bourse, said the MCX buy would be considered an investment and not a strategic acquisition.
An official spokesperson for Goldman Sachs said, "We would not like to comment on market speculations. But there are a lot of things on the company's agenda in the days to come."
Apart from the New York Mercantile Exchange, London Metal Exchange and The Tokyo Commodity Exchange have also initiated talks with MCX.
The talks were being initiated ahead of the publication of final guidelines on foreign shareholding in Indian commodity exchanges. The idea is to firm up plans in readiness for the guidelines.
The Forward Markets Commission has told all commodity exchanges not to change shareholding patterns until the new guidelines are issued.The shareholders of MCX include Financial Technologies (I) Ltd, State Bank of India and its associates, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), National Stock Exchange of India, Fidelity International, Corporation Bank, Union Bank of India, Canara Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, HDFC Bank and SBI Life Insurance.

Lay barge to be built at U.S. Gulf yard
Waller Marine, Inc. of Houston has contracted to design and construct a dynamically positioned Multi-Purpose Cable Lay Barge for Rockson Engineering Ltd. of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Waller says construction will take place in a U.S. Gulf Coast shipyard.
With dimensions of 275 ft x 75 ft x 16 ft, the vessel will be classed by Lloyd's Register, meet all IMO requirements and be flagged in the Republic of Panama.
Specially designed cable lay and cable storage machinery manufactured by Parkburn Precision Handling Systems of the U.K. will include linear tensioners, cable drums and a 2,000-ton dual-purpose cable carousel capable of feeding electric and fiber optic cables simultaneously.
A deck mounted 100-ton crane and a 40-ton dynamic "A" frame fitted with a cable lay and burying sled for up to eight feet depth below the sea bed round out the barges cable lay capability.

WS unable to focus

AML04 posted 2/13/2014 08:38 AM
We had our first real MC appointment last night. We've been having an especially hard time with communication, specifically on WH's end.
We started going through some empathetic listening exercises and it was clear he was having a hard time with it. MC stopped us and asked him to describe it. He said any conversations that are more than just a back-and-forth he has a hard time retaining what the other person is saying so he gets upset/frustrated and shuts down. I had noticed he was doing this but mostly I chalked it up to him not wanting to really face what he had done but it was obvious last night how upsetting this is to him and I really don't think he's doing it on purpose. He did say it's easier for him to communicate when we text because he can go back and read what I say.
It was also brought up that he is not taking full responsibility for his A because he's not doing the work he needs to do to figure it out. Part of the reason he is avoiding it is because he doesn't like going back there and thinking about what he had done but part of it is because he can't focus long enough to get his thoughts together. She suggested I write down a list of things I want him to do and he works on them a couple at a time starting with the easier ones.
She asked if I could continue to be patient with him and I agreed.
My question is have any of you have/had a WS that has been unable to really focus and it has hurt your communication? She suggested it could be due to all the stress, that his brain is just shutting down and going into protection mode. WH and I also came to the conclusion that it might be he is out of practice. We had already stopped communicating in any meaningful way before the A (he felt disconnected and detached after our DS was born) and during it most of his communication with OW was by text or she did the majority of the talking.
If you have read this far I thank you. If you have any suggestions or advice it would be much appreciated

2 thoughts that jumped into my mind:
1) He could just have some bad habits, like focusing on what he wants to say next rather than on what he's hearing. The fix for this would probably be practice, practice, practice listening, hearing, and verifying that he heard accurately.
2) Whenever I see 'focus', I think AD(H)D. Sometimes I'm right, even though I'm prone to see ADD in a lot of places. (I wasn't able to really hear another person until I started on stimulants for ADD.) There's some material on identifying AD(H)D on the web - if your H shows other indicators, getting evaluated by a psychiatrist would be a good idea.
I imagine depression and anxiety could also cause a person to not take in much of what he hears.
I'd go with meds for this sort of issue.
3) There are lots of other things that could cause or play into your H's inability to participate fully in a conversation, but those 2 jumped right out at me.

Are we married to the same man? My WH is very much the same. The communication exercises we have done in MC have been painful. He spends so much time concentrating on getting the words I am saying right so he can parrot back to me that he completely loses the meaning. He can only focus on the first part of anything said and loses the big picture.
I'm having similar issues with worrying that he is not doing the work. I don't think he is focusing on the whys or even the what's. I just get a lot of I can't remembers and I can't believe I did that's. It is painful for him to try and he uses excuses that he can't rather than trying to get into the nitty gritty because he just wants to block it all out.
I have no answers for you but I empathize. You are not alone.

I'm sorry, that sounds so frustrating. I'm glad MC saw it and you guys were able to discuss it.
I read somewhere (Gottman I believe) about the listener taking notes and them looking them over before they respond. Maybe that would help?
I hope you guys find a way for him to hear you as that is so essential.
iwillNOT posted 2/13/2014 10:22 AM
My first thought was, has there ever been any concern about adult AD(H)D? My husband was diagnosed as an adult, and it is literally amazing the difference his medication makes.
Does your husband have the ability to focus on other areas, or on communication that does not relate to the affair? That would be telling. It would indicate it's the affair talk, and not focus in general, that is the issue.
I wish you the best.
AML04 posted 2/13/2014 10:51 AM
MC did bring up the possibility of ADD because the way he describes it, it's with all communication or with anything that takes more time to process. For example he also has a hard time reading anything longer than a tesxt/email and following along.
He really doesn't want meds because he doesn't want to have to rely on them forever (it is possible to only need them for a little while??) and I used to agree (I'm so leary of medication used as a crutch because I grew up in a family of addicts) but I'm at the point where anything that can help should be considered. He had gone on ADs after the PA ended (before dday) and he really didn't like what they did to him. If it is ADD, are there any milder meds that are less prone to be abused than say, Aderall? Maybe I'll ask him to make an appt with his Dr/a Psychiatrist to discuss further.
I'm really hoping it's bad habits and that we can fix it with practice. The funny thing is I have a lot of the same symptoms but I'm usually able to focus in the moment. It's when I try to remember things later that everything gets hazy.
It was good to get it out though because I was starting to get very impatient with him. I do still think he is avoiding doing some things he should be able to do but at least it makes more sense as to why he seems to withdraw and why he doesn't discuss things he's read.
Thank you so much for the responses.
Oh and Roses-that's exactly what I was thinking. That he was saying he "can't" because he really didn't want to. However, last night at MC I actually SAW how frustrated he was that he couldn't follow what I was saying and was struggling to respond. It put it in a new light for me. Not that it's any less frustrating but at least I do believe it's not all avoidance.

TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2016 /CNW/ - The announcements today by both Visa and MasterCard of what they say their long awaited 'independent third party audits', show of their promised credit card merchant fee reductions- under a voluntary agreement struck in April, 2014 with the previous Government of Canada- confirms what the Small Business Matters Coalition has been saying for the last year. "We have stated all along that the promised voluntary reductions by the two big credit card companies, to an overall average rate of 1.5% was not meaningful enough to make any real difference to the plight of Canada's small business," said Gary Sands, Chair of the Small Business Matters Coalition and Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers. "However, it is even more disconcerting that we believe that even that very modest target in our tracking has not been met and we, as representatives of businesses across Canada, would like to see the actual audits." The Coalition has always questioned why an overall average merchant fee rate of 1.5% was chosen by the previous government and what it was based on. Canadian investment company Nesbitt Burns dismissed the proposed voluntary fee reduction of approximately only a 10% reduction as having "no positive financial impact" for merchants.
The Small Business Matters Coalition also believes that the audit results bear additional scrutiny. For example, last year, Costco negotiated an undisclosed preferential fee agreement with Mastercard. If that fee deal is incorporated into the overall aggregate results being reported by Mastercard, then "This would be another case of merchants on Main Street subsidizing companies on Bay Street", Sands added.
"We are very encouraged that the new Government of Canada has responded to the audits released today with a commitment to begin moving to conduct an assessment and analysis of the marketplace and report back to the Minister," said Alex Scholten, Vice Chair of the Coalition and President of the Canadian Convenience Stores Association. Scholten added that this is a recognition that the 'solution' to this issue adopted by the previous government "has failed to address concerns of the merchant community and hopefully can explain why Canada's interchange swipe fees remain so much higher than the regulated cap fees in other jurisdictions, such as the EU, Australia and the UK.
As Tricia Anderson, also a Vice Chair of the Coalition and President of the Canadian Independent Petroleum Marketers Association pointed out, "Canadian businesses are paying in the range of $5 to $7 billion in interchange swipe fees every year. Ninety eight percent of the businesses in Canada are defined as small and medium size and it is these businesses that are paying the bulk of these billions of dollars in fees annually siphoned out of the economy to the payments industry."
This is money that small businesses could use to reinvest in their businesses, remain price competitive, hire more people in their communities and source more local suppliers for products she added.
The Small Business Matters Coalition was formed in 2014 to represent the interests of Canada's small businesses. The coalition is comprised of trade associations that represent in excess of 100,000 small business sites operating in Canada.

Once you've learned the basics about men's sexual disfunction from us, you may want to study what other reputable websites have to say. Where you can find correct info about "vardenafil 20 mg"? Other question we must is "vardenafil dosage". While the therapy is credited with improving nausea, it may also cause problems in bed. And the pills are typically considered safe enough. Potentially serious side effects can turn on blue vision, but it is certainly more common when you take more than the amount prescribed.

The VNIC Manager creates virtual NICs, which are used by virtual machines. Basically, you provide virtual network interfaces by defining a range of MAC addresses. Each MAC address corresponds with a single virtual NIC, which is used by a virtual machine.
To create a VNIC:
Select Vnic Manager... from the Tools menu.
Click Next in the MAC Selector panel to get the next available MAC address.
Alternatively you can enter a specific MAC address.
Select the number of addresses that you want to create, and click Generate.
Click OK to close the Vnic Manager.

They say love is in the air. Just turn on a radio station that plays 70's music and you can hear it in almost every song they play. But if that is true, then the world should be a happier, albeit smellier, place. So what happened? How could things change so much in such a relatively short amount of time? All you really need to do is look at where you are now and you can begin to understand what is going on. Still, some of you may say to me, "but Sephris, what the hell does this have to do with playing video games? Shouldn't you be pimping your sexual prowess on Match.com or something?" Ah, my petty little friends. There is so much you still don't realize. But fortunately I am here to give you a helping hand. And when I am finished, you will see that love is in the air. Or at least in the air raids.
I am a love machine. I always have been. I could get a girl to drop to her knees in front of me at a gay bar. And all things fair, I wasn't the pretty boy type. Nor was I rich. It all had to do with confidence and karma. But after a while I noticed that the girls in the bar scene weren't really all that good of material. So this left me wondering where all the long term, marriable types were. Scraping away all those that either were wonderful one night stands or only had getting really drunk and looking at gorgeous people while flailing around drunkenly on a dance floor in common with me and the pickings got slim. So I did my research. and I uncovered a treasure trove of perfection. And I found it in the least expected of places.
I am and always have been an RP junkie. My introduction to it was when I was 13 years old working under the table at a pizza place in Lake Geneva, Wis. Just by pure luck I met a guy named Gary Gygax who introduced me to the Basic and Expert set for Dungeons and Dragons. Gary turned out to be the inventor of the game and I got to sit in on a few sessions with him and his TSR buddies over the summer I worked there. I say this because it lays the framework of what I will be speaking about.
I played table top RPG games for two decades afterwards. From D&D to Star Frontiers to GURPS, I was the DM, or GM depending on the game, that everyone wanted. I learned to shit creativity. Literally. I got my best ideas looking through books while I was on the crapper. But it did me little good with the girls I was after. I had moved to San Diego at this point, so the flesh was amply available, but I still found the pickings slim. It wasn't until I was near the end of my 20's that I realized something so brutally simple and so strait forward that I didn't realize just what I held in my hands. And the epiphany that came to me? Girls LOVE fantasy. They secretly live it and breath it. But, every fantasy is different.
I met my wife in 2001 on the AOL RP game chat rooms. I was playing Gor while she was playing Rhydin. For those of you too young to know about these places, Gor was hard core adult RP, while Rhydin was PG 13 at it's worst. Eventually we married, obviously, but the courting session was so dynamically different than what I was use to, and it is this dynamic, and the skills involved, that will help you now to get the woman of your dreams. So lets go over a few guidelines.
#1) Girls DO Play Games.
I know a shit ton of beautiful gamer girls. My wife, who looks like princess Leia and is 13 years younger than me, (high five to all those old bastards out there), was the first, but I realized that once I got past the myth that girls just go on to browse Ebay, things got better. Girls are no longer the shopping addict cooks in training that they use to be. Girls LOVE to blow shit up. and I've found that they can do it just as good, if not better, than we testosterone laden males can. If you are playing Halo or some other PvP game and you get your ass kicked by a girl, don't automatically assume it is a guy in disguise. Girls have taken the violent games by storm, and they are only getting better at it.
#2) When you realize there is a girl gamer, don't be a douche.
There are two things girl gamers hate. The first is being friended just because they are female, and the second is being told "Wow! You really did good for a girl!" Would you like it if a girl wrote you and said, "Wow, you did good for having a schlong!"? No, you wouldn't. It puts all your efforts into your sexuality. Your dong doesn't aim and fire and neither does her boobs. Compliment her on what she does, not what she is. Because chances are she has worked just as hard as you have to get where she is, and the majority of guys out there can't see that. forget sending the friend request. Point out how good she is and show a desire to game with her again. Doing so has just put you in the top percentage of guys she meets online.
#3) Bliss isn't a set model.
There are all kinds of gamer girls out there. Yes, I got lucky and I have a dream girl in all aspects. But when it comes down to it, the best part of my marriage isn't me putting her in the slave girl Jabba palace outfit and playing out the scene that C3P0 couldn't bear to watch. It is going day to day without problems. It is having conversations that after over 10 years of being married are still fun to have. It's having a best friend that I can offer my soul to and not fear it being damaged for bearing it. I've had plenty of beautiful girlfriends living in Southern California, but it was a girl from Ohio that was too creative and smart to give the jocks and preppies a chance that won my heart. And that leads me to the next point...
#4) Girls crave creativity
Reality is a bitch. society has set us into roles that we must conform to. guy combat this by blowing shit up. Girls combat it by sinking into imagination. you doubt me? One of my good friends is a writer in Australia who loves to write sci-fi, but makes his paychecks by writing soft core romance novels. He hates it, but that is what pays. Girls love being in love, even if it is just with a fictional character, and they love someone who is creative. But for a guy, creativity rarely comes natural. They are so eager for it that they will glom to a guy who can bust out a few rap rhymes just because at least that guy isn't thinking about football players bending over at one another to toss a piece of leather at one another until someone gets hurt. If you want a great girl, grow a few brain cells and give them some imaginative fun. With the slim pickings the girls have at hand, you will easily put yourself among the top ranks.
#5) The best girl a good geek can get is found online, usually playing a video game.
I will throw myself on the sacrificial alter of truth here.I'm a 41 year old geek with a 28 year old wife. Gaming is my life, and no, I don't live in a basement. I bring this up because I have played the game in pretty much every arena. I was a lead guitarist and a chef which paid me to be a lead guitarist. And I have come to realize that the girls that have "gone wild" are just a passing memory. When I got sick of it all and just secluded myself in my house and leaped head first into the gaming world is when I really started meeting girls that had some substance to them. Girls that I could talk throughout the night with. And it turned from my usual "I really want to lay this girl" into "wow, I can relate to everything she says! And she can with me too! Why didn't I just come here in the first place?" And the answer is that I am an old guy who didn't have the internet until I was already old. But that is beside the point. the best girls aren't the ones who bar hop. They aren't the ones that want to lay the guy in the band. They aren't the ones that walk around in string bikinis looking for the perfect tan. They are the ones that sit at home playing games that stimulate them, both intellectually and emotionally. Just like we guys do.
When it comes down to it, girls and guys are not that different. We both love watching an enemy get splattered across a virtual desert. We both love imagining ourselves as weapon wielding bad asses.And in the gaming world, we are too intelligent to deal with the drama of superficial idiots that don't have a game plan in mind. Though the game plan can be nothing more than figuring out how to beat the boss on level 32. At least to start with.
Love truly is in the air. And that air may be found with bullets flying or spells cast. But it is there. And the best of them aren't even looking for love. They are looking for that certain someone that they can scream in delight with when the final boss is taken down.
And after nearly 11 years with that kind of girl, trust me when I say it is well worth the effort.
Please keep in mind this is, at least for the most part, a satirical article. It's meant to be taken lightheartedly.

Massimiliano Allegri and Pippo Inzaghi have appeared on Milan Channel to deny stories of a bust up earlier this week.
Reports this morning suggested that the two men had a row and exchanged insults while the tactician visited the club's youth sector.
"Nothing happened, absolutely nothing," Allegri noted. "There is no problem with Pippo. In fact, there is great collaboration between the first team and the youth sectors. There was an exchange of opinions without any offence or heavy words."
The 2006 World Cup winner, new boss of the club's Allievi side, backed up the claims of the former Cagliari Coach.
"Allegri is right, it lasted for one minute," he stated. "The youth team players didn't notice anything because nothing happened.
"We are Milan and we all love Milan, so nothing like that would have occurred. Rather than writing about things that didn't happen, Milan need a helping hand."
Allegri is under pressure after a poor start to the season and whispers are suggesting that Inzaghi could be his mid-season replacement.
"I hope to remain at Milan for some time to come," Allegri added. "But I won't be here forever and I think that Filippo has all the characteristics needed to have an excellent career as a Coach. He's started from an excellent base and he can do a good job.
"It's true that we have only collected three points in the League and we didn't win in the Champions League, but the team is new and I think we've shown some good things in the game. I don't think the situation is as dark as people are making out."
Milan are next in action at Udinese this weekend.
"It will be hard on Sunday because they did well in the Europa League, but all games are difficult. We can't underestimate them," Allegri concluded.
The televised conference ended with the two men shaking hands.

Danielle Paradis explores what makes Edmonton a great city.
Berlin urban farmers make the best of brownfields
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Editor's Note: Columnist Omar Mouallem is travelling abroad and over the next several weeks will connect areas he's exploring with similar scenarios in Edmonton.
It was a typical urban scene: cars, buses, bikes and baby strollers ambulated a central Berlin roundabout. Each tire hummed its own urban song. But just a few metres away, through a wired fence, the cacophony was hushed by tree canopies and pockets of vegetation.
I had entered Prinzessinnengarten. The ultimate infill, it's an urban farm on disused land the size of soccer field. Five years ago, before Robert Shaw and Marco Clausen of non-profit Nomadisch Grün (Nomadic Green) leased it from the city, it was one of several wastelands left behind from the Second World War and border crossings.
Now it's an oasis, improving the city's biodiversity and microclimate, increasing recycling, lessoning CO2 emissions and creating a desired public space for one of Berlin's poorest neighbourhoods.
Many cities have urban farms and community gardens, but it's the mobility of Prinzessinnengarten that we can learn from. From the start, in 2009, they knew that it would be a temporary measure until the owners found a more lucrative developer.
It's a typical real estate scenario in Berlin and Edmonton alike. Every 12 months they renewed their contract and transported their other improvised pots to this brownfield from about April to October.
It proves that infill doesn't have to stay barren until there is a shovel in the ground. As well, it shows temporary infill can be more than parking lots.
Further, as cities expand and develop surrounding farmland to accommodate new residents—much in the way Edmonton gobbled up Horse Hill farms in the northeast—food security is increasingly important. Though Clausen is the first to admit their 750-square-metres acreage is negligible compared to industry farming, it can still feed a small community.
As I prepared to leave, thunder cracked the sky and it started pouring. I grabbed my beer (brewed in this very neighbourhood, of course) and took shelter in a shipping container library. I asked the volunteer librarian, what's going to happen when there's an interested developer?
As it turns out, that's already happened. "This is the centre of Berlin, there's lots of interest in developing this land," she explained. So, why hasn't it? "There would be outcry."
While You're There…
Get to know Berlin with an Insider Tour by an Edmontonian—opera art director Brian Deedrick, who splits his time between cities.
A fabulous storyteller, he's weaves joyous and tragic narratives out of unsuspecting sites. Stay at the eclectic hotel 25Hours Berlin, a new hotel mimicking hipster neighbourhoods, complete with craft coffee shop, design store kiosk and free-to-rent commuter bikes.
You'll love your personal hammock overlooking the city zoo. Follow the terrace rooftop into Bikini Berlin, the newly opened concept mall with local designers popping up in giant wood crates.
For an elegant stay, check into the Wyndham Grand Berlin. The affordable and spacious rooms have marble finishings, free-standing tubs and other little luxuries that make going outside difficult. You should though, if at least to dine at in-house restaurant The Post, where chef Sebastian Pergel offers some of Berlin's best Mediterranean dishes.
This is part six in a series exploring urban design and reclamation lessons in European cities.

Reference: Philipians 3:12-14(NKJV)
" ...I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus"
Two years ago I experienced the worst and best moments of my life. March 20, 2000 I was diagnosed with kidney failure and lupus. Two days later I birthed, my two- year old daughter, Selah. The birth of my child was the most incredible, exhilarating, and exhausting thing I had ever witnessed. My pregnancy brought me closer to God, but pushed me further from Selah's father. By the time I had her I knew I would be parenting her without him. With God's renewed presence in my life, I believed I could handle the job without reservation.
I was not expecting my health to decline, because of Selah's birth. The lupus weakened most of my major organs: my kidneys, my lungs and my heart. Through Christ's angelsi, I survived the trauma. Yet, I was left with a weak heart and permanently disabled. Miraculously, I regained most of my strength and I am raising Selah with the help of my family and close friends.
During the darkest moments of those years, I wanted to give up. I was so disappointed with the reality of my life. I desperately wanted my health renewed ...my future back...my dreams back. It behooved me to think that perhaps God was moving me back on track.
Walking away from God five years before took me into places that no Christian woman should have ever seen. Coming back to God was not going to be as safe and secure as I thought. My life had deviated off God's past so violently that it would take an amazing overhaul on my part. God had to turn me in the right direction. I needed help.
Paul's moving thank you letter to the church at Philippi1 served as compass for the church, while he was in prison in Rome2. The Letter to the Philippians gave them some insight about the life that they would lead. "Philippines", further, gave me the help I needed to move on with my life. Furthermore, it became my compass towards God's purpose.
Paul states in Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) that he is going to "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus". Although I have read that scripture many times, while listening to a sermon by Bishop Frank C. Cummings3, one word stood out to me. That word was "upward". "Amazing" I thought to myself. All this time I never thought about my call to God. Why was I letting this setback take away the life that God gave me?
Bishop T.D. Jakes4 explains that Satan "attacks you in subtle ways, such as bad memories, low self-esteem, or feelings of unworthiness." My bad memories haunted me so that I did not want to move on with my life. By the time I was strong enough to move back to Atlanta, Georgia, I was too afraid to go. I was afraid I would stress out and get sick again. My security was violated; so I rented a home in Valdosta, Georgia and clung to what I thought was safe. I missed God's point entirely.
Have you ever been in a situation where you have said to yourself," Boy, I learned my lesson". In actuality, however, you did not learn anything at all. Satan deterred your plans once again. He took your suffering and twisted it around to keep you from actualizing your purpose. He motivated you to stop and do nothing. Out of fear he controls you once again. Because we have not firmly developed the ability to discern the truth and know Satan's tactics, we constantly fail. We continue to act like children, who are not physically or mentally mature to handle certain situations
When I was thirty-six weeks pregnant and suffering from renal failure my doctors had to perform an amniocentesis, to find out whether the baby's lungs were developed. If they were not developed by birth, she would suffer some abnormality with her lungs or possibly die. Our spiritual welfare shares the same fate as unborn babes. If we do not mature into what we are to be, we will not fulfill God's purpose. There must be a time when we must mature in our Christian walk. There are three things to do, in order to push forward in Christian maturity: (1) unload the past, (2) go in the right direction and (3) prepare for suffering.
1: Unload the Past
One of my Europeans history professors once said that studying history helps us not to make the same mistakes. Well, I agree and disagree with that statement. Sometimes studying our history keeps us from going forward with our life.
I have a bad habit of looking in my rear view window at my daughter, while driving. I try to sneak a peak back there, to see what she is doing. Every time I do that, I swerve a bit off the road or I slow down. I lose time and increase my chance of having an accident, every time I do this. Although my motive is understandable, it is not helpful. How can I complete our destination, if I am always looking back?
How can I push forward with my life, if I am always looking back? Looking back deterred me from moving back to Atlanta, from pursuing a writing career, and from leaving an abusive relationship. At some point, we all have volumes of pages on heartache, mistakes, and hard times in our personal history books. These past events haunt us even now. What ambitions, dreams, or purposes have you delayed because you were still hurting from the past?
A few weeks ago, my twin brother, David called me. He had some questions about the history of church denomination and he wanted to explain to me why he changed his denomination affiliation. We were raised in a Baptist church in a small town in South Georgia. Oftentimes, the minister and teachers would misrepresent the bible, because they could not read very well and did not have a formal education in divinity. If you corrected what they read, you were reprimanded. By the time my brother became a teenager he was very frustrated with the concept of Christianity and left the faith all together. While in college, however, he befriended the daughter of a minister, who later became his wife, and thus, renewed his faith.
Although my brother is a new convert, he worries about my soul's salvation. His denomination tells him that I will go to hell, because I am not a member of their organization. After I gave him a brief history of church denomination, I assured him that my affiliation would not be the thing that sends me to hell. Moreover, I advised him that as he grew further in his walk the Holy Spirit would reveal to him that Christ does not care about denomination.
After our conversation, I went over it again in my head. I hated the direction of the conversation. God's purpose is far more important than custom and belief. This sort of thing keep us from pressing forward in maturity Tradition and denomination practices keep us from "running the race that is set before us". In Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV) Apostle Paul urges the Hebrews to "lay aside every weight," which turns us back to where he says, "leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on unto perfection. (Vs. 6:1)". Because the Hebrews were clinging to Judaism, the doctrines and practices of a management system that had passed5, they were hindering their ability to press on. He wants them to leave those laws in the pastii. Christ's death and resurrection symbolized a new law, one that did not need Judaism as their guide.
This urging applies to us as well. Instead of cleaving on to family tradition, college oaths, and anything that we use as a standard to base success upon, we need to put our mind on the most important goal- to know Christ6. In order to increase our knowledge of Christ, we need to keep our eyes forward. The journey is too long and too narrow, to turn around. As James Cleveland sang in his classic gospel song, "No Ways Tired",
I don't feel no ways tired
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
We should not rest on our laurels, but press on and push forward.
Try these exercises to unload the past.
1. Unload the things that hurt you. Write down the events in your life that caused you pain. Then write down why you were in pain and what you would have liked to be done differently. Write what you have done to keep this pain in your life.
2. Forgive and forget. (2 Cor. 2:7 NKJV). Take a family member that has wronged you big time and just let it go. However, that does not mean you need to interact with that person gain. Just let that person out of your system.
3. Get rid of your impatient attitude. "Impatience" means to not endure. To grow up in Christian maturity we must began to exercise the power of endurance. Most often we do not wish to endure through our trials because we have not unloaded past disappointments. Instead of giving it another try we dig into the ground afraid to go forward. Try this: What is your favorite food indulgence? (chocolate, pizza, soda). Do not eat or drink any of it for one week. Can you endure?
4. Give up things you do not need. What television show you watch that does not edify Christ? Do not watch that show for one month. Take that time and devote it to bible study or spend it with family.
Further Quote References:
"I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my walk is not yet ended7."
Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.8
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger. 9

Dee I really liked this article. I am also aware of those well-meaning uneducated Bible preachers whose pride get hurt when they are corrected. They keep many away from God. I liked your article because of its honesty and because the message is definitely what we all need in order to press onward. Great article. -Carole

The faster those of us who can't get Out of Combat die, the more chance that those that can will live and we can get a mass rez off for a quick recovery time between attempts. Nothing is more frustrating for me on a night of attempts when I call wipe and there is still people who don't have an ability to take them out of combat, dodging mechanics, and trying to run away.
@Yzyz- All damage on this fight is physical( cept maybe the gas)
Attenuation — Imperial Vizier Zor'lok emits a dizzying series of sonic rings that travel outward from him in a spiraling pattern. Sonic rings inflict 125,000 Physical damage to all targets in their path.

Ensidia Fails. Great add-on. We spent one night wiping on this, I gave the 4 ppl havign issues crap, updated the add on, told them to watch a vid and we one shot it the next night. They need to watch a vid learn the pattern and not suck
- The bunny is your raid.. the legs are the boss. Do it.
Zor'lok has the hitbox of Dalaran. If your failing DPSers are playing melee classes, it's good to know that you can put quite the distance between yourself and the boss and still be able to damage him. This is preferrably where ranged should stick around as well (at least when Attenuation is happening) since if they're too far away from Zor'lok, the rings can easily chip off their HP when bouncing back from the walls. Also, the rings always travel in a circular pattern, so just moving either to the left or the right in the same direction as Attenuation does will help you dodge all of them without bigger issues.
Get them to pick up speed increases for the phases, we only had like 6 (if im correct) the entire fight so not hard to cycle a few, if they r waorried mitigation cd's can be used but as always more and more practice always helps. Even if they r melee get them to move away from the boss a bit, really helps with the movement so they arent spawning on you
We had that issue on 25 man too, we found that a disco priest with spirit shell helps keep alive those with more issues than most, just practice mostly.
Bad players bad. This is pretty similar to alysrazor tornados. Just dont be mentally challenged and 99/100 times you will take 0 dmg, 1/100 times u might take some to loss of concentration or lag. Anyone at 10/90 or worse dont deserve to raid anything but lfr.
Please excuse the quality of this diagram, did it on my laptop's trackpad lol,
But this is roughly what the sweet-spot looks like:
I know the Discs don't spiral as you'd like to imagine looking @ the diagram, but as they spawn they fan out in a spiral-like pattern and you can safely and easily strafe smoothly either left or right depending on which way they come out!
"The Maw's thirst is unquenchable. If it is not fed fresh victims, it will not hesitate to drink from its wielder instead."
Sorry for the delay in the response, folks and thanks a lot for the tips.
Got them all the diagrams and a video of a rogue just doing that particular phase so, after a couple wipes tonight, they all got it right.
Just telling them to have the camera "looking" at the ground and having them watch the video (where said rogue does the circling) made it click. But if you still have someone failing, then using Hand of Protection can be very useful (in the kill I didn't have to waste it on Attenuation so I always saved it for an extra panic button during Force and Verve).

(on the wrong end of) A Game for the Ages
Miami University was a decided underdog heading into Saturday night's NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Championship game against Boston University, but Miami seemed determined to continue their trend of upsets in the tournament.
That's probably what made the end of the game so hard to take.
Miami fought back from an early 1-0 deficit in the first period to tie up the Terriers in the second, then scored two goals late in the third to take a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 lead. They were clogging center ice, keeping BU from exploiting their speed advantage, and hitting as hard as they had all season.
But after that third goal, BU gambled and pulled the goalie with just over three minutes to play in favor of an extra attacker. And in the last minute, BU scored twice in 47 seconds to send the game to overtime.
Miami had its chances in the overtime, but BU capitalized on a fluke goal - deflected off a diving Kevin Roeder - and took the title.
And Miami saw their improbable run come to an end.
To be sure, MIami made the most of their invitation to the NCAAs. After being eliminated from the CCHA tournament at home, there was uncertainty if they would even be invited to the NCAA tournament; they turned out being the next-to-last team in. Once in, however, they proceeded to upset the #1 and #3 seeds in the West Regional, Denver and Minnesota-Duluth. On Thursday they eliminated upstart Bemidji State. And frankly, they gave BU all they could handle and more for 59 minutes.
Most of all, they made us proud.
The silver lining, if there can be any silver lining 90 minutes after losing, is that the team is young; this was supposed to be their rebuilding year. And if the team can keep their focus over the summer, next year should be even better.

This is my first post but I've been gathering some great info from here for awhile now. You guys sure know your stuff. Anyways the motor is a 99 Johnson 90 hp with the oil injection system and it has become hard to start, smokes and idles rough (dies usually) after start up. If it doesn't die and I give it alot of throttle the smoking will quit and it runs fine until shutoff then it starts doing the same thing again. From what I've read on here it sounds like a VRO pump problem but how do you determine if it's the fuel or oil part thats the problem? Would the fuel or oil line primer bulb loseing prime tell which part was bad? It smokes so bad that you can't work on it while it's running. I use the correct start up procedure so that's not the problem. Any ideas or suggestions would help.Thanks

No, if there was a vertical trail, it's always going to look vertical, because every part of it is the same distance from you.
It's like telephone poles vs. a road. The road can look like it's going at all kinds of angles, but the telephone poles will always be straight up. Consider this photo of a road and some telegraph poles and wires:
The road and the wires are horizontal. The poles are vertical. The poles will always look vertical no matter which angle you look at them from. But the road and the wires here are at all kinds of angles. The wires on the left are at 45 degrees, the white line on the road on the right is going nearly straight up. But it's all just perspective. If you stood over the line, or under the wire then they would appear vertical.

Can get back to WHY instead of WHAT IF?

More likely a fall-streak, or virga. The contrail is essentially a cirrus cloud, in regions where the humidity is high enough it can accumulate enough ice for the larger crystals to precipitate out, which is known as virga. This falls into SLOWER regions of air, and so gets left behind. It's like a very hight altitude snow shower. it usually evaporates as it falls into drier air.
You would really need a sequence of photos to see what is actually going on here though.

Baja Tech Custom
The Baja Boost has been a labor of love (it's why we gave it the Baja name). We wanted a germanium boost pedal in the vain of the original Rangemaster that you the player will actually use all its functionality, get all the original tone and more in one pedal.
The Rangemaster has been used by many a player to get their classic tones. Eric Clapton used one on the now famous "Beano" Blues Breakers album. It was the go-to overdrive for Marc Bolan of T.Rex fame and the pedal of choice for Brian May's early recordings with Queen. Other users include Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath).
When researching the Rangemaster you'll hear of the "Iommi Mods (fat mods)" and "Mid Boost Mods" in addition to the stock Rangemaster tone. Some boutique builders will add a switch to try and get you two or three of those pedal voicings. We've gone a step further and left the voicing up to you. One of the Baja Boosts unique features is the VOICE control. Not only do you get the stock tone, the "Iommi Mods", and the "Mid Boost Mods" but you get everything in between via the VOICE control located a top the pedal. We originally started work on the Baja Boost with a switch in mind but found it too limiting. There were some really sweet spots in the pedal's voicing that were being missed by only having just a couple of choices. You now can dial in the exact tone that you feel is compatible to your playing style and your rig. We are also very proud to be the first to offer you this very useful functionality in a germanium boost pedal. Long before the rooster first crowed the Baja Boost was boosting amps.
The BOOST control allows you to control the output volume of the effect. Allowing you to adjust how hard the overdrive "hits" the preamp section of your tube amp.
As with all our germanium based effects we have added a temperature stabilizing technique to stabilize the transistor from temperature changes that commonly plague stock/clone germanium Rangemasters. This technique does not compromise your tone whatsoever and only keeps its tone going during gigs that would leave common germanium boosters dead. There's no need for a trimpot or external 'bias' pot to constantly adjust do to temperature changes. Once again we're just making life a little easier.
Baja Boost is painted with a heavy duty "Silver Top" powder coat finish to withstand the day to day rigors of the road.

Off-Leash Training is a great place for you and your dog to develop a perfect bond, and to have a long, healthy, obedient life. Check them out!
-UFC World Champion Jon "Bones" Jones
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) April 26, 2012
Off-Leash K9 Training LLC has a lot of exciting news this year. They are opening up another location in Richmond, Virginia and recently they have had some celebrity pets in their midst. People such as UFC World Champion Jon "Bones" Jones, 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, Kane Hodder, the staff from Operation Repo, and Elliot Segal from DC 101's Elliot in the Morning to name just a few of their clientele who have been extremely happy with the results and are quick to give their endorsement to Off-Leash K9 Training.
In his testimonial, Jon "Bones" Jones said, "Off-Leash Training is a great place for you and your dog to develop a perfect bond, and to have a long, healthy, obedient life. Check them out!"
The staff of off leash dog trainers at Off-Leash K9 have experience and training ranging from the US Marine Corps, DOD, US Secret Service, and private sector experience. The owner, Nicholas White, who is a former US Marine combat veteran is considered an expert in the off leash dog training field, and has published a book on dog training called, "Raising the Perfect Dog: Secrets of Law Enforcement K9 Trainers."
They specialize in ecollar training, which is the same way that almost all military and police dogs are currently trained. From their years of experience the trainers have come to believe that 98% of all dogs can be trained to have amazing obedience regardless of their breed, size, shape or age. Off-Leash K9 Training guarantees that dogs who complete their training will be 100% obedient off the leash by the end of their training program.
Some people might wonder how their dogs will benefit from this training. In reply, White says:
"Your dog will benefit tremendously! Most behavior problems (biting, chewing, jumping, etc) are based off of a lack of exercise, discipline, and out of boredom. With this training, your dog is receiving top-quality obedience training, which in turn, allows you to give your dog freedom to run around off-Leash and play. So by doing this training your dog is not bored, because it is learning and being stimulated, it is running freely off-leash so it is getting exercise, and it is getting obedience/discipline. Not only does all of this greatly benefit your dog, but it also benefits you and your family."
About Off-Leash Training LLC:
Off-Leash K9 Training is an off leash dog training business based in Northern Virginia, but rapidly expanding all throughout the United States. They specialize in private lessons, dog behavior consultations, and teaching the owners to understand why their dogs do the things they do.
They have over 240 videos on youtube, and over 110 five star reviews on google. They train over 500 dogs per year and currently offer a two week board and train program. For more information, visit their website, http://www.offleashk9training.com.
White adds Off-Leash K9 Training's Jennifer Burke will head the new location in Richmond, Virginia.

Suggests professionalism would draw sympathy to strikers' cause
Published 5:30 pm, Friday, November 16, 2012
For quite some time now, I have noticed several people striking at the nursing home on Hospital Avenue.
In the beginning, they marched on the sidewalk with signs posting their message and talked over a megaphone. Over time, there were fewer of them and they stopped using the megaphone and some of the signs.
Today, only a few of them walk. Most of them sit at a picnic table on the property next door, where they have destroyed all the grass.
I remember striking as a union member. We were advised that if we kept a professional appearance and showed respect for everyone else, we would be respected and others would take our cause seriously.

Mexican migrants working in the United States celebrated the recent Valentine's Day by attending a mass wedding held along the Tijuana-San Diego International Border. According to Reuters, more than 600 couples participated in the said mass wedding, many of whom are Mexican nationals who are working and/or living in the United States without proper documents.
They further reported that many of the mass wedding participants are Mexican migrants who met in the United States during their period of working without legal papers. Since not having the proper documents including birth certificates, US visas and other such papers, these Mexican migrants who have found romantic partners cannot legally get married in the United States. Thus, the Border Mass Wedding was started several years ago in order to give migrants an opportunity to marry.

Q: I have a couple of questions, and they're both related to the intersection where State Route 378, Morrison Avenue and Stow Avenue all meet in Troy, just past the Menands Bridge.
I live in southeast Troy near Emma Willard and pass through this intersection daily.
1) On north/eastbound 378, there is a "No Turn On Red" sign (as you take the right turn onto Stow/Morrison). It is there for good reason. Most people are pretty good about obeying it, but I still continue to see idiots who ignore it.
I think a lighted "No Turn On Red" sign is needed there (same as the sign they use at Everett Road and Central Avenue in Albany). How much would it cost the city of Troy to install one?
2) On a similar subject: this intersection is a regular choke point especially in the morning, when all the eastbound Hudson Valley Community College students and westbound commuters hit it. I was thinking how much of it could be alleviated if they installed a rotary. I know that, because of the hills, the limited space, and the high traffic, building a rotary might not be feasible. However, I'm not a civil engineer. Would it be possible?
— Ray Kim, Troy
A: Jeff Pirro, spokesman for the city of Troy, said he doesn't yet know what a lighted sign might cost but he is willing to find out.
"It is an idea worth exploring, and we will look into that as an option," he said.
The signal is owned, operated, and maintained by the state Department of Transportation.
Carol Breen, spokeswoman for the state DOT, said the agency generally uses the lighted "No Turn On Red" signs at intersections where turns are restricted when a pedestrian activates a WALK/DON'T WALK sign.
"At this intersection, there are two static signs installed, one hanging from the signal's spanwire and the other ground mounted in the southeast corner of the intersection," she said. "The sight lines to these signs are unobstructed."
The lighted signs you refer to cost approximately $2,500 plus installation, Breen said. and DOT does not believe a lighted sign would be cost-effective in that location. If the city of Troy wants to pursue the option, she said, it can do so.
As for a roundabout there, Pirro said it is too tight a squeeze.
"There is simply not enough space at that intersection for a rotary," he said. "However, the intersection at Mill Street and Route 378/Burden Avenue will be redesigned as part of the South Troy Industrial Roadway. The city engineer is examining design alternatives with a decision expected shortly with regards to size and scope of the project."
Breen agreed a roundabout wouldn't fit there.
"When rehabilitating an intersection, a roundabout is always one of the options we look at. We evaluate several factors, including traffic volume, speed limit and sight distance at the location," she said. "As Jeff has already noted, the geography of this area doesn't seem to fit with our roundabout criteria. At this time, there is not a project under consideration to improve this intersection."

Having been born in Morecambe and lived in Lancaster now for nearly 20 years there aren't many local public houses I haven't had a drink in for one reason or another.
Some I have only ever had one drink in and others quite a few more than that. Two local hostelries which I have drunk in, although not on a regular or frequent basis, are The Greaves Hotel and The Moorlands Hotel. However, as we start a new year, it is with regret that we must note their passing into history.
Regret because they closed in 2013 having been in decline for some time and yet in their prime both were the focal points of their local communities and as important to those communities as the Rovers Return is to the residents of Coronation Street.
The Moorlands Hotel first obtained a licence in 1895. It was built at the same time as the surrounding terraced houses. A purpose-built Victorian "super pub" promoted by local brewer William Mitchell, its development was opposed by the local Temperance Society, but Mr Mitchell was canny. He owned a very old and rundown establishment on China Lane called The Feathers.
The council wanted to acquire it from him as they had bought up the surrounding buildings in order to widen the lane but Mr Mitchell refused to sell. That is he refused until a scheme was hatched whereby the alcohol licence for The Feathers was in effect handed him on the basis that a new licence would be granted for The Moorlands Hotel.
In those days alcohol licences were granted by the magistrates so the licensing bench was able to justify granting of a licence for The Moorlands to the Temperance Society on the basis they were not increasing the number of licences.
Mr Mitchell got a licence for his new pub and the council got to buy The Feathers and widen China Lane.
Victorian pragmatism and commercial enterprise at its best.
I gather the now defunct Moorland Hotel is going to be turned into apartments and The Greaves Hotel is going to be accommodation for the elderly. I can't help thinking that's not progress and I hope as a city we do not live to regret the loss of these once vibrant establishments.

This week's student leaders are Hamilton Ayson and Savannah Abbott, from Terra Sancta College. The school's motto is "The way passes through this land."
1. What is unique about your school?
Hamilton Ayson, C: I believe that the community within Terra Sancta is very special, as we all share a special bond with not only each other but with the teachers as well.
Savannah Abbott, C: On a physical difference, our school is split into junior (years 7, 8, 9 and 10) and a senior (years 11 and 12) campus.
It's very beneficial for senior students have the same amount of resources and more available to us for preliminary and HSC courses.
We also have a strong connection to the original owners of the land, the Dharrug people, that we honour when able.
It's really just a safe environmental with many avenues to be individual and creative; something that's unique in itself.
2. What do you want to do when you leave school?
Hamilton Ayson, C: When I leave school I was hoping to become a dental hygienist, however I am also hopeful to get into aviation and become a pilot. Either of these choices would be amazing.
Savannah Abbott, C: I'm not sure yet, as there are many avenues that I enjoy and would like to pursue.
If I had to give a definitive answer right now, then I'd have to stay filming and critical reviews of film, music, theatre or politics.
3. Why do you think being a school leader is important?
Hamilton Ayson, C: I believe it is important as every school needs a role model that students can relate to.
They also need a person/s to represent the school.
Savannah Abbott, C: Being a school leader is important because it allows myself to put forward ideas that would benefit the school from the priority group affected by changes.
It's also a great way to establish firm values in myself, such as responsibility, versatility and leadership.
4. If you were the principle, what would you introduce?
Hamilton Ayson, C: I would introduce better fundraising events and more school events.
Savannah Abbott, C: I'm going to have to say nap time, at some point between recess and lunch. School tires you out.

I also have the > opportunity to practice on my laptop which could run 64 bit but Here's a thought. If you can use the laptop, go ahead, but can you carve out a small place on your desktop for this? I suggest basically doing a new partition, doing a debootstrap of the current version of debian you already use, for the amd64 architecture. Prior to doing the debootstrap, use dpkg --set-selections and save that in a convenient place, then do a dpkg --get-selections to get all the packages you already have. It's an approach I'm thinking of doing if I ever get the opporunity to move to 64bit userland. Here's hoping. ;) But I wonder if it'll break, so maybe you want to do this on the laptop instead :).
