There has to be more to the story than we are being told. Sure wish we would be told the truth. From what we have been told this man is getting screwed.
Add me on to the list of people who will never spend a dime in the city of Jackson again.

Unbelievable even for Hinds County.

Who is the ADA?
- January 4, 2017 at 3:30 PM
Let's see here; Mr. Parish is white; the car thief is black; but the thief's mother said "HE SUCH A GOOD BOY"!!!!!
I moved out of Jackson 10 years ago. I don't even eat, buy gas, or shop in Jackson anymore.
- January 4, 2017 at 3:36 PM
Sounds like Mr. Parish was trying to defend his livelihood. I would be willing to bet this man has been burglarized multiple times before. The business friendly climate of Jackson/Hinds County continues to take hits.
- January 4, 2017 at 3:49 PM
for those curious about the ADA "signature", that gibberish stems from Walter Bleck. Guess he's afraid to put a legible signature on a murder indictment...
- January 4, 2017 at 3:52 PM
Makes you wonder, about Mississippi justice, a black man in Grenada is indicted for a child's hot car death, a white woman in Madison is not, and a white man is for protecting property...
What's right/wrong with this picture?
- January 4, 2017 at 4:12 PM
All the more reason to stay out of Jackson!
- January 4, 2017 at 4:20 PM
As an attorney, I am always amazed at how people can read information on the media and be in a position to determine the truth of a matter and know what the outcome should be. A grand jury indicted him. Can we let the process work before we determine that this is one big injustice???
- January 4, 2017 at 4:23 PM
Let's just rename Jackson Little Detroit, close all the white owned businesses there and give it to the thugs; watch how long it takes for them to completely destroy it! In the interim, do not give them any operating money and see how long it takes for the citizens with some common sense to take charge.
- January 4, 2017 at 4:23 PM
"As an attorney" I ask that everybody just settle down and let the process work. The good people of Jackson will convict this white honkey and that will be that. Move along now....

i would not leave the shop, where I worked, use deadly force to protect a co workers car from a potential thief. that is what I recall of this crime. also that is just me, deadly force to save life. Now is he within his rights? Assume once the conflict got underway, up close, assume the shooter felt the need to defend his life?
a teaching moment on the use of the tool of last resort, a gun. even if the shooter is not convicted, he will be ruined, you lawyers know this is going to be one big bill.
- January 4, 2017 at 6:27 PM
6:27 you are absolutely correct. The guy will be ruined and the criminal defense lawyers are licking their chops. I've no clue what this guy is worth but you can bet your ass they will get every penny of it.
- January 4, 2017 at 6:52 PM
6:27pm is the most reasonable person on this thread.
Once the guy left his office to confront the kid, he chose to escalate the situation. Then he chose to bring a gun.
Well, he successfully defended his car. All it cost him is his life savings, and fear of prison for the next year until his trial concludes. Sometimes, being "right" isn't the best choice.
- January 4, 2017 at 8:30 PM
You know, in a "normal" city you can almost make the case the car owner over reacted. However, think about this statistic: AS A PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION, Jackson, MS had a higher murder rate in 2016 than freakin' CHICAGO!!!!!! It's no wonder people are on edge all the time in this city! Statistically, it's understandable why they are!!!
- January 4, 2017 at 9:48 PM
It's terrible when we have allowed a thug culture to rule the city and bend the law. This man worked hard for what he has and felt compelled to do what any person would do. Given that, he doesn't have a chance. Now, had he been in another locale then the issue would be he was protecting his property. Put yourself in his place for a moment.
- January 4, 2017 at 9:51 PM
Pitt, It may cost the man his life savings and fear of prison for a while but you seem to forget what it cost the criminal.
In this case I like the man's chances much better.
- January 4, 2017 at 10:41 PM
10:41 The problem is: the car owner is going to be tried by a jury of the BURGLAR'S peers, not his. This IS Jackson, after all....
- January 4, 2017 at 11:16 PM
Business owners have a right (and arguably an obligation) to protect the property of their customers while that property is in their possession.
People have a right to be armed in this state. Being armed does not affect/preclude the first rule above.
A man who is armed and trying to halt a felony in progress who is then confronted in a life threatening way has a right to defend himself using deadly force.
Remember: The man did not run out into the parking lot waving and shooting his pistol. He drew it only after fearing for his life. Even a jury of 12 Do-Raggers will see that.
- January 5, 2017 at 4:04 AM
The Castle Doctrine does not permit the use of deadly force to protect property, though it obviously allows deadly force to protect life. This should be decided based on whether or not this man felt a threat to his life when he confronted the burglar. If he cannot articulate that threat, then he will be convicted. Sadly, as has been mentioned, the jury pool in Hinds County will not be giving any benefits of the doubt here based on race. The same could just as likely be true in a predominantly white county elsewhere. That said, if he is convicted and there is evidence to support his proper use of force, it will get overturned on appeal. Of course, he will likely be bankrupt as a result of the legal process.
- January 5, 2017 at 7:59 AM
7:59: Please read
The so-called "Castle Doctrine" is based on Old English common law, which says a person is free to defend their homes and property without criminal or civil consequences.
- January 5, 2017 at 10:14 AM
11:16 the problem as I see it is there are not enough of the car owners peers left in Jackson to make up a jury.
- January 5, 2017 at 10:16 AM
Mississippi's "Castle Doctrine" is codified at Miss. Code §97-3-15, which states: "The killing of a human being… shall be justifiable... (e) When committed by any person in resisting any attempt unlawfully to kill such person or to commit any felony upon him, or upon or in any dwelling, in any occupied vehicle, in any place of business, in any place of employment or in the immediate premises thereof in which such person shall be;.... Notice the requirement that the criminal be IN or in the "immediate premises thereof" and "occupied vehicle." I certainly wouldn't rely on this to run out of my office to shoot someone who is attempting to steal an unoccupied car in the parking lot.
- January 5, 2017 at 11:08 AM
I might rely on the castle doctrine in this situation if I had read the first Newell case out of Lowndes County.

Trollfest '09
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and "Big Cat" Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The "Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless" booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word "jackass" was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Back to changes. I think this image is a bit blurry. Guess I didn't hold the iphone steady enough but it's hard for me to tell because I had laser surgery yesterday as a follow up to cataract surgery and things are still a bit blurry. Isn't the world amazing now. Laser surgery one afternoon, no restrictions and off to Shaker Village the next day.
Things change so quickly but when I visit Shaker Village it's like life stood still. I like that feeling of quiet. It's very necessary when our world is spinning too fast.

It's not because of her kooky hijinx, even though I have a lot of fun making fun of her, for the most part I think it's stupid and unnecessarily over the top.
No, it's because of what she said in an acceptance speech the other night. She got an award for something or other, and in her speech she said "I wanted to thank Whitney (Houston) because when I wrote 'Born This Way,' I imagined she was singing it because I wasn't secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar."
How cool is that? She is arguably the most famous woman in the world right now, and (like it or not) a role model to millions, and to get up in front of the world and admit her insecurities like that... well... that's just really, really classy, in my opinion. It almost makes me wish I was raising girls (yeah, well, let's not go nuts).
And, so, that's why I love Lady Gaga.

Does anyone have an idea for this team? It´s the second one on stage SSS - left with no ideas, as far as I can´t disable the passives of VHE and the Werewolf. I came closest with POM Ed, but than Lilith thought it had been enough fun and killed my team.
Still avaiable: FFE, Beast Eddie, Magma Eddie, Gambler... W LOL (4*), Lucifer (2*), Raven Witch and Cosmic LOL (each 1*) + some other toons
What shall I look for? Probably a special Talisman setup needed?

It's red and green…Christmassy…get it? Alright, alright I know. It's not exactly the whackiest idea for colours but it does look festive and it is fun.
I've been recipe testing for a few submissions recently and the over day my husband said, 'I'm tired of eating new things every day, I just want something simple'. My first reaction was to laugh, who gets tired of eating new stuff? My laughter then turned to a, 'wait a minute, that's so ungrateful..you get fed well'.
I then explained to him how many of our friends and family don't cook, or will rustle up a jacket spud. How rude!
But then I thought, he has a point. Sometimes unfussy, simple, clear and punchy flavours just feel good. Like a good plate or pasta, or a deep and earthy soup, maybe a bowl of steaming hot khichdi. All simple, but beautiful dishes.
During Christmas my family seems to graze through the day. We have one meal, the late lunch and then the rest of the day is filled with grazing, munching, nibbling and picking. There are only so many crisps anyone can eat so here a fabulous and festive coloured option. The tomatoes take on an intensely deep and sweet flavour when roasted and the garlic really comes through with a kick of chilli at the end. The dip left my husband in sigh's of 'mmm's and he's polished off the entire bowl of dip! I have to say that this nutty dip is really very good. The handy thing with this recipe is that it's great warm or cold. I served with warm pitta and some smoked cheese.
Ingredients for 4 people
For the tomatoes ;
8 large red tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
3tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp chilli flakes
Salt to taste
For the dip;
400g soybeans
1 cup plain and natural yoghurt
One red onion, finely diced
25g coriander, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Juice of one lime
1 clove of garlic
A handful of shredded basil.
1. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Half the tomatoes.
2. Lay a large sheet of baking paper and smear across the oil, balsamic, garlic, salt and chilli flakes.
3. Lay the tomatoes, open side downwards onto the baking tray and roast then at 160degrees for 45minutes.
4. When the tomatoes are warm but not too hot to handle, turn the, over and sprinkle with the basil.
5. To make the dip, boil the beans for 3-4 minutes and them drain them. Blitz them together with the yoghurt, salt, chilli, lime juice and coriander with half the diced onion. When it turns to a coarse paste, fold in the rest of the onion.
Serve with warm pitta.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about garden plants. You will find concise information on general gardening techniques as well as plant selection and care. For detailed information on specific plant pests and problems refer to our Common Garden Pests and Problems page.
Do you have additional gardening questions? Please contact us. Here's how.
How do I care for my roses?
Before planting roses select your site carefully. Roses need a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun a day. If they do not receive enough sunlight, the flowers will be inferior and the plants will be weak. Locate your rose bed away from trees and shrubs.
Good drainage is essential for successful roses. Raised beds are useful for providing good drainage. Beds should be raised between 1-2 feet above the surrounding soil surface. A good soil mix to use for roses is 3 parts loose loamy soil, 3 parts peat moss or preferably manure or compost and 1 part sand. Add about 3-4 pounds superphosphate per 100 sq. ft. of area. You can also work about a cup of bone meal or alfalfa meal into the bottom of each planting hole.
The best time in St. Louis to plant roses is in the spring before the weather turns hot. Dig a hole 6 inches wider and 6 inches deeper than the container. Work in the bone meal or alfalfa meal and place 6 inches of well prepared soil into the hole. Place the rose into the hole with the graft at or slightly above the soil line. Fill the rest of the hole with soil, tamp down tightly and water thoroughly.
After planting, add about a 2-3 inch layer of shredded bark mulch to help eliminate weeds, maintain a more even soil temperature, and keep the soil moist.
Roses need a constant supply of moisture of at least 1-2 inches a week. Try to water at the base of the plant and water early in the morning if possible. Keep the foliage dry when watering. Wet foliage encourages fungal diseases. One or two deep waterings a week is preferred over many lighter waterings.
Fertilize your roses every 4 to 6 weeks after new plant growth appears in the spring. For more information on fertilizing, refer to message #3461 "Fertilizing Roses".
Pruning should be done yearly in the spring following the removal of winter mulch. Prune out dead wood and trim canes back to a length of 6 to 8 inches. Remove weak and older canes leaving about 4 or 5 healthy canes if possible. Prune weak plants heavily to encourage new growth.
During the remainder of the season, keep the old spent blooms cut, pruning back to the first 5 leaflet leaf. As you do this, check for dead or weak wood and prune out. Try to keep the plant open in the center for good air circulation. Also, prune out canes that are crossing or touching each other.
Thank You!

Refinancing after a bankruptcy can seem like a challenge, but it doesn't have to be. Within six months after your bankruptcy has been finalized, you can find lenders willing to refinance your mortgage. In fact, refinancing your mortgage can help rebuild your credit to good standing in two year's time. The following steps will help you find the best refinance lender while helping your rebuild your credit record.
Step One: Refinancing Preparations
Immediately after you file bankruptcy, you have six months to prepare to refinance your mortgage. FIRST, begin by establishing good payment history by regularly paying your bills and current mortgage. This is also a good time to open a credit card account to start establishing good credit history. If possible, also start building up a savings account. The more cash assets you have, the better your application will look.
Step Two: Research Refinancing Lenders
Once you are ready to refinance, research mortgage lenders and their rates. Comparison shop with our refinancing after bankruptcy lenders. Once these refinancing lenders offer you interest rates and fees with their refinancing quotes - be sure to look over and compare. In most cases -- a slightly higher rate with low fees is the best deal.
With bankruptcy on your credit report, you will typically need to work with a subprime lender. You can expect to pay a few percentage points above a traditional mortgage, which you can find through online mortgage companies.
Step Three: Choosing Your Refinancing Package
You may be offered a chance to cash out part of your home's equity when refinancing after bankruptcy on your home mortgage loan. If you need to make home improvements or buy a car, this may be a good option. However, if you keep your home's equity in place, you are improving your credit.
Once you have decided on your terms, you can finish your loan application online or through the mail. Quotes are not guaranteed, so rates may vary slightly once your application has been approved. Before the refinance loan after bankruptcy is finalized though you have the opportunity to review the loan again.
Step Four: After Refinancing
With your refinancing completed, you can plan to lower your interest rates by refinancing in two years by building up your credit score.

Propositions Overview : What Passed and What Didn't
This year's election has arguably been the most contentious and controversial in our nation's history. The extreme rhetoric and multiple scandals dominated the media. But this rhetoric drowned out discussion about other election topics, such as the propositions on the ballot here in California. Many individuals were so focused on a potential Trump or Clinton presidency, they ignored the ballot propositions and the potential effects of their passage. Now that the election is over and the dust is starting to settle, we can look at what propositions failed and what propositions won. Here's a rundown of all 17 ballot propositions, whether they passed or failed, and the effect of their possible passage or failure.
Proposition 51: K-12 and Community College Facilities. This propositions passed with 53.9% of the vote. The passage of this proposition allows the state to issue $9 billion in bonds with the goal to fund improvement and construction of school facilities for K-12 and community college facilities and buildings. $3 billion goes to construction of education facilities, $500 million for providing educational buildings to charter schools, $3 billion for modernization of current school buildings, $500 million for creating facilities that provide technical career knowledge and preparation and $2 billion for renovations, removal, construction and upgrading of community college facilities. Opponents of this bill, including Governor Jerry Brown, argued the bonds would further California's debt, take away local control of education facilities and provide construction companies with more bond money they can use at their leisure.
Proposition 52: Medi-Cal Hospital Fee Program. Passed with 69.74%. Voter approval will now be required to change the use of fees hospitals drew from federal funding to fund Medi-Cal. This also continues funding the program through January 1st, and requires a two-thirds majority from the state legislature to end the program. Opponents, such as the Libertarian Party, alleged the fund would be misused by special interests and hospital CEOs.
Prop 53: Voter approval of revenue bonds. Did not pass with only 49%. The passage of the bill would have required voter approval on any revenue bonds totaling more than $2 billion that would be used for public infrastructure and would have increased taxes. This prop was hotly contested as arguments on one side favored voter approval of all projects while arguments on the other side alleged that statewide voter approval would take away control from local communities.
Prop 54: Legislative procedure requirements. Passed with 64% of the vote. Now the California state legislature cannot vote on any legislation that has not been in print and published on the internet 72 hours before the vote. This hopes to increase transparency in politics.
Prop 55: Extension of personal income taxes over $250,000. Passed with 62%. The income tax originally applied in 2012 is now extended for another 12 years. The original tax plan was said to only be temporary but this proposition extends it. The tax revenue would be used to fund healthcare and education.
Prop 56: Cigarette tax. Passed by 63%. This increases the tax on cigarettes by $2 per pack, with the additional revenue being funneled into tobacco prevention programs. Note this also applies to electronic cigarette products.
Prop 57: Parole for nonviolent offenders and juvenile trials. Passed by 63%. This increases the opportunities to obtain parole for nonviolent offenders and now allows judges to decide if juveniles should be tried as adults, a power prosecutors used to have. Leading up to the vote, controversy surrounded the definition of a non-violent offender as it included individuals convicted of certain forms of rape and assault.
Prop 58: Bilingual education in schools. Passed overwhelmingly with 72% of the vote. This repealed the 1998 prop 227 which banned non-English only classes being taught in public schools. This now allows school to have classes taught in languages other than English for students who do not speak English as a first language.
Prop 59: Campaign finance and the Citizens United ruling. Passed by 52%. This proposition isn't so much a piece of legislation as it is an advisory opinion. The yes vote now means that the majority of Californians believe the state politicians should do anything in their power to overturn the Citizen's United Supreme Court ruling, the controversial ruling that has been blamed for the rise of money in political speech.
Prop 60: Condoms in pornographic films. Did not pass with 54% voting no. This proposition had the distinction of being opposed by every major political party in California, meaning it had near universal opposition. It's only major proponents were a few individual donors and an AIDS health group. The proposition would have required condoms to be worn in all films as well as adult film producers to pay for this costs and receive a state health license. The prop also allowed any California residents to enforce violations of these measures, which opponents argued would allow individual citizens to flood performers and producers with civil and criminal suits to harass them. There was also concern this proposition would force the large and lucrative adult film industry to move out of state to Arizona or Nevada, merely because certain individuals have a moral disagreement with pornographic films.
Prop 61: Prescription drug price standards. Did not pass. 53% voted no. This prop would have required state agencies to pay no more than the Veteran's Affairs agency does for prescription drug prices. The VA traditionally paid the lowest out of any state or federal agency for prescription drugs. The opponents of this proposition, including numerous veteran advocacy groups, argued the passage would lead to increased prescription drug prices for all individuals, not just veterans.
Prop 62: Repeal the death penalty. Did not pass. 53% of voters voted to keep the death penalty. This is one of the bigger pieces of legislation on the ballot this year, as well as the first of two death penalty initiatives. The death penalty will continue to be used in California.
Prop 63: Background checks for ammo purchases. Passed by 62%. This proposition was heavily pushed by Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and opposed by California's Republicans and Libertarians. This adds to the laundry list of gun control measures in California, which has among the toughest gun legislation in the nation. Now gun store owners must contact the Department of Justice to conduct a background check when an individual buys ammunition. Previous California legislation banned the purchase and manufacture of large-capacity magazines, but allowed an exemption for already owned large-capacity magazines. This proposition has repealed this exemption, enforcing a total ban on these magazines in the state. It is now a misdemeanor to sell ammo without a license and a felony to steal a firearm. It is also now a violation to purchase ammo outside the state and bringing it in without first having the ammunition delivered to a gun store in the state. Opponents of the proposition argued that this legislation only serves to inconvenience law-abiding gun owners and won't affect crime, as they argue criminals do not purchase ammo legally, or they would smuggle it in from Nevada.
Prop 64: Marijuana legalization. Passed by 56%. Marijuana is now legal in California for recreational use, in addition to our previous medical marijuana. Individuals must now be at least 21 years of age to consume cannabis recreationally, and cannabis will be subject to certain sales and cultivation taxes. Consuming cannabis is not allowed while operating a vehicle or in a public place. Individuals are allowed to have up to 28.5 grams of marijuana up to 8 grams of marijuana in a concentrated form. Possession of cannabis around a school or other area frequented by children is still illegal. An individual can grow and cultivate up to 6 marijuana plants in their private homes as long as it is not visible to the public. Businesses can not sell within 600 feet of a school, day care or youth center. Large scale marijuana business are barred from obtaining a license to sell for the next five years to prevent the formation of a monopoly, which some have spoken out against. Local governments can ban the sale of marijuana within their municipalities if they so wish.
Prop 65: Carry-out bags. Did not pass. 55% voted no. This proposition would have redirected funds collected from the sale of carry-out bags sold by grocery stores to a fund set up by the wildlife conservation board. Opponents argued the proposition did little to actually increase the phasing out of plastic bags used in grocery stores.
Prop 66: Death penalty procedures. Voting was decided to be too close to call. 50.91% voted yes. 49.09% voted no. The proposition will not be put into effect for the time being. The proposition wished to implement various changes that were meant to speed up the death penalty procedure process and alleviate the crowding in death row.
Prop 67: Plastic bag ban. Passed with 52%. This bans the use of single-use carryout grocery bags. California has become the first state to do so.

Pinched Nerve - Chiropractor Bozeman
The term "pinched nerve" is a generalized phrase to associate a variety of conditions from spinal misalignments to osteoarthritis and disc herniations.
Often times, what is known as a pinched nerve is actually an inflamed nerve, that is irritated and not actually pinched. In most cases, these nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones of the spine are not in proper position, and are not moving and functioning properly. This condition, known as subluxation or spinal misalignment, is the specialty of a doctor of chiropractic and chiropractic adjustments have great results in treating this condition.
There are some instances when nerves do in fact become "pinched", such as in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Sciatica, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In these cases, a muscle spasm, inflammation, or injury can cause the nerve and surrounding tissues to become compressed, and this can result in the pinching or shooting pain. Treating these conditions are more complex, however usually respond very well to chiropractic care.
A proper diagnosis for the cause is very important for any form of pain. This is especially important after chronic or long lasting nerve pain is present. This can lead to permanent nerve damage, and it is very important not to let this happen to you If you have been told or feel that you have a "pinched nerve" it is important that you seek professional care from a chiropractic doctor as soon as possible.

Knowing Review – Disaster Wrought by Numbers
Knowing Review – Disaster Wrought by Numbers" width="560″/>
Dark City director Alex Proyas' latest movie Knowing purports to be a story about love, loss, sacrifice, redemption, and all sorts of other big soul-searching motifs in the man's-quest-for-meaning mode. So it must surely come as disheartening to both Proyas and his loyal legion of geek followers that the overriding reaction to such metaphysical mumbo-jumbo will be, "Who cares?" Surely not the actors in this silly scifi actioner, nor the patient audience merely looking for 90 minutes of metropolis devastation. Indeed, Proyas' latest attempt at mainstream scifi represents for him a new artistic low.
John Koestler (Cage) is a single father who tortures himself over the tragic loss of his wife as he struggles not to lose it for the sake of his young son Caleb (Chandler Canterbury). They live in a creaky old house where Koestler acts the loving father until Caleb's tucked in for the night, at which point Cage turns into a booze-swilling depressive. One day Caleb participates in a time-capsule-opening ceremony, where he finds a letter from the past written in mysterious rows of numbers. This begets Koestler's realization that every disaster for the past 50 years has been pre-ordained, and it falls to him to jet off to doomed locations like some besotted superhero to save mankind from events still yet to transpire.
To be fair, the visceral disaster sequences that follow are ravishing; they explode from the screen with such force they should be required viewing for future generations of Michael Mann wannabes. The action, along with the crack soundwork that accompanies it, is so relentlessly, preposterously terrifying that it's almost embarrassing to watch in public. I was cowering in my seat.
Alas, the thrills are over far too quickly, and the movie fades out into a wash of religious hokum and genre clichés, right down to a gaggle of mute Max Headroom lookalikes in lumpy overcoats. If you can't instantly figure out from whence such creatures came — they're clearly not g-men — then you might be one of the few viewers not annoyed when the movie's end-game is finally revealed. Cage fans will find themselves wondering more than once whether he questioned any of the direction he was given (Really? You think I should fall to my knees in this scene? Like this? Because I was thinking I could probably just convey shock on my face, like, you know, people do in real life…) or if he just shut his trap and daydreamed about what to do with the paycheck.
What's worse, the rest of the cast apparently decided not to bother acting at all. Koestler's partner in mystery-unraveling, Diana (Rose Byrne), jumps straight from disengaged to histrionic as if there are no other emotions on the spectrum. And when Koestler's scientist-buddy (Ben Mendelsohn) is given the news that the end of the world is nigh, his only response is to peer glumly at the camera with an expression so blank you almost suspect he's in on the conspiracy (spoiler: He's not). As for the kid-actors, well, they're kids.
Fans of Proyas' noirish sensibilities won't walk away feeling completely deprived. There's plenty of jittery, evocative camera work and cool extended shots that must have been a nightmare to produce. But the problem is more elemental than that: Overarching themes hinted at in the movie don't go anywhere (or anywhere satisfying, at least) and the script falls to pieces once the action comes to a halt. There's an ending, and then another ending, and yet another one after that. If he'd gone out quickly and happily, we might have been more willing to follow suit.Read More

Are estate agents the masters of behavioural science?
I always dread having to look for a new place to live. For those in the renting game, like myself, this tends to be every couple of years. This year my search started a few weeks ago, and already I've found many estate agents to be pushy, untrustworthy and generally stressful to deal with.
But when I started to analyse their tactics and techniques, I realised some of them were pretty sophisticated. There are a variety of cognitive biases estate agents are putting in place to persuade you to make that offer. Ones that other marketers could be learning from.
Here are five I've seen multiple times over the past few weeks…
Estate agent tactic 1: 'We've had lots of interest in this property already'
Bias at play: Herd Behaviour
This is a classic estate agent technique, acting on our desire to fit in and be a part of the crowd. Naturally we want to do what others are doing, and we believe that if lots of other people do or like something, so should we. Herd behaviour plays on this need to act collectively; hearing others are interested in a property makes us think we will be too.
Estate agent tactic 2: 'I've got three viewings booked in for tomorrow, so I'd sign now if you want it'
Bias at play: Scarcity effect
This is probably the most common bias estate agents use. They are at pains to tell you how few properties are available, and that the one you like will only be around for another few hours before it's snapped up (sadly in London this is often true!). Naturally, we panic, and act fast to avoid disappointment. The Scarcity Effect means we also place higher value on things that are scarce than those that are in abundance, seeing them as more desirable and exclusive.
Estate agent tactic 3: 'So we have three properties at 2000, and another at 1600'
Bias at play: Framing
Despite stressing my max budget around 100 times, estate agents would continue to show me properties of a higher value. This is framing at its finest; affecting how you view something depending on the context. By displaying a range of properties of high value, it makes the one you can actually afford seem like much better value, as it's the cheapest of the lot. Sneaky.
Estate agent tactic 4: 'I know it seems a lot, but when you think about it, it's only 25 quid a day'
Bias at play: Denomination effect
Psychologists have found that the more a currency is broken down, the less value we assign to it. Our mental accounting tends to see large amounts paid in one go as much more precious than the same amount paid in instalments. By breaking down the price of rent per week, or even per day, estate agents make it seem like a much more manageable chunk of money to spend.
Estate agent tactic 5: 'The price per month may be above your price range, but remember we don't have any agency fees and a deposit is only 50 pounds up front'
Bias at play: Hyperbolic discounting
Hyperbolic discounting is the tendency to choose a smaller, sooner reward over a larger, later pay off. In other words, we're all about the instant gratification. In this example, we place too much value on upfront discounts (such as a small deposit), which can distract us from the long term benefits of other factors (cheaper monthly rent). Beware the low deposit!
Maybe I'm overanalysing things, and Estate Agents are just being honest and upfront, rather than manipulative masterminds. But whatever they're doing, it works, and there's lots to be learned from their persuasive techniques.
For anyone looking for a property, I'd be applying a certain level of scrutiny to everything they say. But if you're in the sales business, you may just learn a thing or two from them!

Canada is an incredibly vast landscape, with a population of 36.29 million, concentrated mostly in four provinces – Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta. In fact, 86% of Canadians live in one of these four provinces, with 12.7 million Ontarian's accounting for almost 40% of Canadians.
So, why is this important?
Well, because of its size and the way in which the population is distributed, Canada requires a unique approach to eCommerce.
Up until recently, Canadian businesses have been lagging behind other developed countries in adopting the necessary technologies required to keep up with the growing consumer appetite for purchasing goods and services online.
Thankfully, the country seems to have finally caught up, and it makes sense considering the size of the market.
Retailers no longer miss out on sales purely because of geography; even sellers in the most remote locations can tap into a technologically enabled audience.
Digital and mobile connections are highways that don't need to be travelled overland, meaning every person with an internet connection is a potential customer – and both Canadian and global retailers are eager to convert.
With this in mind, we're going to look at what makes Canada a lucrative prospect in eCommerce and explore the country's most important online marketplaces that you should consider selling on.
Should I sell my products in Canada?
Given that there has been a recent surge in Canadian consumers shopping online, along with the fact that more and more retailers are investing in digital platforms to reach consumers in this market, Canada certainly offers vast opportunities for international growth.
Although adoption was initially slow, by 2015 84% of Canadians had bought something online and over 20% of Canadians shopped online every month.
It is also estimated that by 2019 there will be 20 million digital buyers in Canada, who will spend $50 billion online annually. In fact, Forrester Research Inc. predicts that 10% of all Canadian retail spending in 2019 will be conducted online, up from 6% in 2014, as the country's buyers continue to go online for many of their shopping needs.
Perhaps more importantly, cross-border shopping is on the rise with 16% having purchased from Europe in the past year, highlighting the opportunity that this market has to offer.
Which Canadian marketplaces should you be selling on?
As far as online marketplaces go, eBay and Amazon dominate in most countries - Canada included - so it goes without saying you should be selling on these platforms.
By registering as a seller with eBay and Amazon you can benefit from their huge market shares, ready-made audiences and easy-to-use stores.
But, of course, you already knew that, so we're going to look at some of the other online marketplaces you should consider selling on in Canada.
Best Buy Canada
Best Buy is already a well-established and recognised brand, so by choosing to sell on their eCommerce platform you can take advantage of that ready-built brand loyalty and active customer base.
While the company remains the country's largest electronics retailer, back in 2015 it expanded its offering by giving merchants the option to sell more than just electronics. As a seller, you can now list products in categories such furniture, toys, watches & jewellery and sports & recreation.
All in all, Best Buy's marketplace gives you access to over 225 million visitors per year, with 18.5 million visitors every month to their Canadian domain.
This is easy to take advantage of thanks to Best Buy's opportunities to highlight your product in its forums, blogs and newsletter (which has over 5 million subscribers).
Fees are competitive with other online marketplaces and there is no setup fee and no payment processing fees for sellers (these are covered by Best Buy). Sellers are also offered training during setup and also given ongoing tech support once they're up and running.
It's also worth noting that Best Buy offers API integration, so sellers can fully integrate products, pricing and inventory management.
Newegg Canada
Newegg is a diverse marketplace that has historically sold electronics, audio parts, sporting goods and more, with over 20 million annual customer visits and 65,000 unique visits daily.
More recently, however, the company has expanded its range of goods and now positions itself as an "all things" marketplace.
You do need to be approved as a seller on Newegg.ca before you can list your products on the site, and the marketplace does charge a commission, but this is fairly competitive at between 8% and 15% depending on the product – in fact, they claim it's the lowest of any major online marketplace.
You can see the full list here.
Newegg also offers a wide variety of marketing opportunities to help increase your brand's visibility through its email marketing and daily deal highlights.
Walmart Canada
Walmart has recently began accepting third-party sellers onto their online marketplace. As the world's largest retailer, it's absolutely worth listing on here if you can - Walmart Canada's marketplace receives 8 million unique monthly visitors, which makes it a potentially lucrative sales channel.
While there are no setup or monthly fees, Walmart takes a referral fee from each sale (between 6% and 15% depending on the type of product sold).
Etsy Canada
Etsy is a global marketplace for unique and handmade goods. However, although the site still positions itself as the primary online marketplace for vintage and handcrafted goods, its definition of "handmade" has evolved over the last few years.
This means the site is much more lenient now and will allow users to sell items that are mass produced (to some extent), so it's worth looking into - depending on what you sell, of course. As of 2017, close to 33.4 million buyers had purchased goods through the Etsy and the site currently sees 47 million visitors per month.
Seller fees for Canadians are as follows: CA$0.26 listing fee plus a 3.5 % transaction fee and a 3-4 % + CA$0.25 payment processing fee.
While these are some of the top online marketplaces in Canada, do keep in mind that Canadian consumers also shop on other global sites, including Fruugo and Tmall. You can view the full list here.
Tips for selling in the Canadian eCommerce market
Now that we've covered some of the key marketplaces worth selling on in this market, it's also worth familiarising yourself with some of the key considerations, expectations and general best practices for selling in Canada.
Delivery speeds
Canada is a huge country and delivery speeds will be different for the various territories. With this in mind, don't over-promise - be transparent when detailing your delivery times. Even if "2-8 days" looks worse than "2-3 days", at least your customers can manage their expectations, that way they won't be disappointed when their package arrives a week after ordering.
Although Canada is predominantly English speaking, 21% of the population speak French with 6.1 million French speakers residing in Quebec alone. It's worth considering this when writing product descriptions and engaging with customers.
Additionally, you should check whether certain Canadian marketplaces have any requirements for providing content in French.
Stay on the right side of the law
Unfortunately, running a business - even simply selling goods on Amazon - can be a bit of a legal minefield: it's easy to put a foot wrong without knowing. Two key things for Canadians to remember:
Extra-provincial registration - Canada is made up of multiple different territories, and you are required to register your business in territories outside of your own if you wish to sell there.
Consumer Protection Acts - Each province and territory has its own consumer protection act, so be wary of this when selling to someone in another province - find out if there are different requirements in that jurisdiction.
Understand tax requirements
There are three types of taxes in Canada, each of which you will need to be aware of. The two main ones are GST (Goods and Services Tax) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax), although certain provinces have combined these tax structures and created what is known as 'harmonized tax'.
You can learn more about each tax structure here.
Do your research
As with entering any new marketplace, it's important to research consumer trends first. Make sure you're educated on what goods to sell to the Canadian market before jumping in with no prior knowledge: think about seasonal offerings, general trends and territory-specific buyer habits.
Apparel (fashion) and accessories lead the way with online purchases in this country, followed by books, consumer electronics and toys, hobbies & games.
At the same time, assess how ready you are to enter another new market. Do you have an automated inventory management system to support your strategic move? If not, it's well worth exploring how this multi-channel eCommerce software can facilitate your global expansion.
Selling in Canada: A land of opportunity
Canada is ultimately a large country with a growing population of online shoppers, so it's best to get involved now while the number of digital shoppers is on the rise.
Regardless of whether you're currently selling internationally or looking at cross-border selling, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the multiple different sales channels out there in order to extend your reach and maximise business growth.

We took the boat to the lake with us while camping. It is always a lot of fun to go tubing and boarding. Sometimes we would go even after dinner for a last ride of the day. Other times we would get up at 6:30 to get on the lake before it got to choppy. I figured out half way through the week that we have a continuous picture setting on our camera. It was great. We were able to get great pictures of the jumps and landings while boarding. Though, I figured the continuous out after Mikes turn was over.... sorry Mike. So here are some fun pictures of everyone gettting pulled behind the boat.
Mazur was happy and loving the intertube...
... then he fell off and was not so happy.
There is no age limit on intertubing! Logan and John went on it together and had a blast. I think my mom had even more fun trying to throw them off!
Logan on his way up from a jump...
...and landing, clearing the wake. :)
We're not sure what happened here but Logan definitely did not land this one.
Mike outside the wake...
...and jumping.
This is a picture I took from the shore one night when the boys decided to take a quick run before it got too dark. You can see Logan being pulled behind the boat in the distance.

Boys and their obsession with fire
It seems like boys are just attracted to fire. This camping trip was definitely an example of their obsession. They spent alot of time building fires... big ones, small ones, creative ones. They also spent alot of time gathering and cutting wood for the fires. They made sure that we were always well stocked with wood. They had cut and collected so much wood that by the time we were leaving, the back of the truck was still full. We gave our left over wood to some people that were just getting there. Thanks to the boys, we had great fires all week and so will the people we gave the wood to.:) I made sure to take pictures of their biggest fire accomplishments.
One of the fires that Logan and Mike created. The wood actually fell inwards into the fire pit when it collapsed. Logan and Micheal did not plan it like that... though they might try and say they had designed it to fall inwards.
Apparently Mikes chest was cold. It didn't take long for Mazur to copy him.
The boys wanted to build a bonfire one night and have a pow wow. If you don't understand the picture, John and Mike are posing as Indians and Logan is a buffalo. I think they inhaled too much smoke. :)

...You Sexy Thing
Logan found a tank top in camp that he thought was my sisters... it wasn't, but he didn't figure that out until after he had it on. We never figured out whose it was. Mike thought it would be even funnier to cut the bottom half of it off with his knife while Logan was stuck in it. It was so tight on Logan that he had a hard time getting it off and we were all laughing way to hard to help him. So sexy logan! :)

Best Swing Ever
Ashlee and I got crafty one day and decided to build a swing for our nephew Mazur. It was awesome and so sturdy! Even I was able to swing on it. We noticed that we weren't the only people that got to enjoy it... a few days later there were some other kids swinging on it. Making the swing was well worth the time and energy.

One of my most favorite things about camping is catching snakes, lizards, frogs and other creatures. Logan doesn't particularly feel the same as me about snakes. I love them but it's taken some convincing to get logan to be ok with the idea that snakes aren't that bad. Until recently he thought that all snakes have fangs. haha. (They don't) One of Logans anniversary presents to me was to hold the snakes that were caught through out the week. We made sure to get lots of pictures. I think he secretly ended up liking the snakes once he held them and realized that not all snakes have fangs! :)

Going fishing was one of the things Logan was really excited to do while camping. It had been a long time since he had gone. Lucky for him my brothers and dad love to fish and they had plenty of time to go. Some mornings they got up as early as 7 a.m. to hit the creeks and rivers and then went fishing again after dinner. They didn't have any amazing catches but Logan did catch a fish that was big enough to cook and eat. So, one night after dinner he had a late night snack of rainbow trout. He can't wait until the next time he gets to go fishing. Now he just needs a new fishing pole! Thats right, Ashlee is holding a fish... we're so proud of her. :) Just add a little garlic salt and butter and Logan is happy

Finally a real vacation!
We got to go camping with my family July 13-19. We had so much fun. It was the first time in a long time that we've had a real vacation, lasting more than 2 days. We were grateful for the week break and to be able to boat and camp all week long.We spent most of the time down at the lake soaking up the sun and splashing in the cool water. We did so much the whole week that I couldn't break it down into one post so I added all the different things that we did in a couple of posts. It definitely was a fun week full of lots of activities... I understand why people need a vacation from their vacation! :)
Of course like usual my mom brought lots of toys to play with. One was this blowup row boat. We tried to stand up in it for a picture but that didn't work out so great. It didn't take long for us to fall in. It was a really hard boat to paddle. For some reason it liked to go in circles. By the end of the week we were pro paddlers though.
Spending time at the lake was so relaxing that on one occasion Logan fell asleep in the row boat. I kept having to go get his boat and pull it back closer then finally I stopped and just let him float away. He woke up paniced wondering where he was. haha. It was pretty funny.
Two men in a boat- Mike and Logan.
It was fun wehen Mike was able to come up. Him and Logan had fun in the boat together. They ended up tying the entertube to the boat and making a train. Mike eventually got out of the boat and swam using the flippers to pull the boat carrying our nephew Mazur and the entertube with Logan on it.
Logan also made sure to take very attractive pictures of me like this one.

Institute Graduation
Today in church I finally got my certificate for graduating from institute. Your probably saying... "you can gradutate from institute?" Yes you can and when I started college years ago I had made up my mind that graduating from institute was something I wanted to accomplish. Well this year I finally did it. Since SDSU's institute is pretty small they don't have a graduation so instead they send the diplomas to the bishops to sign and hand out in church. It was pretty embarressing. I felt like a teenager receiving my young womens awards again. Luckily I didn't have to recite any articles of faith. :) We also took the oppotunity to take a picture of me this week at 25 weeks pregnant... well almost. Monday it will be 25 weeks. Things have sure poped this week!

4th of July
Our 4th of July was awesome! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. I think especially since I just finished an early U.S. history class I had a little more appreciation for the 4th and the founding of my country. Luckily Logan was able to get work off this year. We decided to go to the beach with some friends in our ward. We were a little worried because last year the beaches were so packed that it took two hours to even drive in and find a parking spot. We were expecting that this year so we piled into one car and took a dvd player to keep us entertained on the drive. Surprisingly we drove right up and unloaded and found a great spot on the beach. We realized the reason there weren't nearly as many people there was because of the alcohol bans that they made last year. It's now illegal to have alcohol on the beaches in San Diego. It worked out great for us! No crowds or drunks acting crazy!!
The weather was also perfect so we first went sea kayaking. Logan and I took one out together. Getting over the waves was a little hard since they had started to get a little big. I was in the front I got the grunt of waves. I was pretty much going through the waves and Logan wasn't even getting splashed! haha We paddled out and around for a long time and finally decided to go back in and do some other things. Unfortunately the waves had gotten even bigger. As we got closer to shore the waves started carrying us so fast. It was a blast. Our last big wave that we had to go over didn't go so well. Apparently it was just too steep. When they get too steep there is basically no hope, even if you go into them straight your bound to get tipped over and that's what happened it us. Logan was thrown off of the kayak. The back tipped all the way over the top and landed right on top of me, hitting me in the head. No worries... my head can take some pretty hard blows. :) I think Logan got worried for a second when he didn't see me above the water. I surfaced after getting the boat off of me and we both started laughing then realized another big wave was coming. It was a pretty big task trying to get the boat back to shore while the waves were smashing into us. We had a lot of fun... being thrown off the boat just made it that more exciting! Logan also went surfing and caught 3 good rides. When he came in from surfing he told me that everytime he got up he just felt like yelling "cowabunga". Best part is he was being serious. haha... too funny. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it. As soon as he went out to go surfing the marine layer came in. The fog was so think that I just couldn't get a picture of him. Then as soon as he was done the marine layer burned off.... of course it worked out that way!
We took a little barbeque with us and made killer tin foil dinners. I think I could have tin foil dinners everynight... that's how much I love them. Then we had smores...a couple of times. I'm not a big smores fan so I usually end up making them, taking a bite, and handing them over to Logan who loves them.
The fireworks were great. We got to see three different shows from where we were sitting. We first saw the show coming from Sea World, then the show on Mount Soledad, and then the grand finale.... the La Jolla Cove show. They were all great and really close the where we were. All in all we had a great 4th of July.
Packing up was a bit of a challenge since we brought 2 kayaks, 2 surfboards, a barbeque, chairs, toys etc. But, it was all worth the fun that we had.

Attempt #2
So the ultrasound went much better this time! We were literally seen right away. I hadn't even finished filling out all the forms when they pulled us back. It was on our 6 month mark and so far everything looks good. The pictures didn't turn out very good because she was being a little stubborn and not moving for the tech. I guess because she was sitting breech the tech had a harder time viewing some things. I don't know. We had a good time just watching and hearing her heart beat. So cute. :)

BWCHA provides accommodations to qualified persons with disabilities. A "reasonable accommodation" is a change, exception, or adjustment to a policy, practice or service that may be necessary for a person with a disability to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, including public and common use spaces. Since policies and services may have a different effect on persons with disabilities than on other persons, treating persons with disabilities exactly the same as others will sometimes deny them an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
Requests for accommodations will be considered reasonable if they do not create an "undue financial and administrative burden" for BWCHA, or result in a "fundamental alteration" in the nature of the program or service offered. A fundamental alteration is a modification that alters the essential nature of a provider's operations.
BWCHA encourages family's requesting a reasonable accommodation to make the request in writing [insert RA form]. However, BWCHA will consider an accommodation any time the family indicates that an accommodation is needed whether or not a formal written request is submitted.
BWCHA may need the family to provide evidence of their disability and the need for the specific accommodation. BWCHA will review all requests on a case-by-case basis and does not guaranteed specific accommodations.

There are a large number of PCs in centres across campus as well is at Halls of Residence and Leahurst.
As a student, you can use any PC Centre across campus, not just those in the Library or your own department's building, provided the Centre has not been booked for teaching.
PC Finder will show you where to find a free PC to use. PC Finder also tells you how long a PC is available, and how to get to find it. You can filter your search for a free PC by the software you need, any accessibility requirements that you may have, or even by adjacent PCs if you want to work next to a friend.
The Harold Cohen Library and Sydney Jones Library also show the availability of PCs at each location on large monitors. Remember: you can use PCs in any PC Centre, not just those in the libraries.

Who needs International Women's Day? Didn't Mary Wollstonecraft and Sojourner Truth take care of all that two centuries ago? "Women can vote. What more do they want?" Hmm…
If you are unaware of the continuing practices of female genital mutilation, the forbidding of education for females, acid attacks and ironically-named "honour killings", your ignorance must be blissful.
And if you think these are all problems of faraway places, not here in safe and civilized Canada, you must be avoiding mainstream news even more vigorously than I do.
Perhaps you are unmoved by the frequency with which Canadian Aboriginal women are murdered or go missing, but don't imagine such crimes are limited to one group or community.
Statistics Canada declares, "violence against women in Canada continues to be a persistent and ongoing problem."
Who needs International Women's Day? We all do. Learn the facts, and let women have their day.

There is something enigmatic about the sea; its ferocious waves rolling and crashing, its surface witnesses thunderstorms that battle against water, while its depths at times mysterious and unfathomable. But for many, the sight of the calm sea above water evokes tranquility. With the understanding that the seas could also be unpredictable, we also inculcate a great sense of acceptance towards uncertainties, knowing that life works the same way. The idea of having a home by the sea simply invigorates and captures much of our imagination since it sounds more exciting than setting up base in more mundane inland locations.
Not all of us are blessed with the opportunity to abandon our commitments and leave for an exclusive faraway location by the sea. But with the advent of more sophisticated bed-and-breakfast options, finding rent-able homes that allow you to access the sea and meeting your own style is becoming easier. From the humble by-the-beach chalet that transmits Mediterranean vibe all the way to colossal villas perching on the coastline, here are your seven places you can go for a weekend in a home by the ocean.
This one-bedroom chalet might be compact, but it boasts unobstructed view of the horizon right from the comfort of its rustic, wooden bed. Ideal for couples or a small family, this secluded retreat offers unprecedented access to the beach with little or no disruption from other people to ensure privacy. With water sports gears and amenities provided, activities can be done privately without interruptions. Situated just a five-minute drive away from the tip of Borneo, you can conveniently have an unforgettable moment gazing across the Sulu-South China Sea horizon. At MYR595 per night, this little gem of Borneo can surely give you a getaway of a lifetime.

It seems that Kudat is a hotspot for luxurious hideaway places since it also hosts the idyllic and ever breathtaking Balinese-inspired terrace called Hibiscus Beach Villa. The dried palm tree roof and the T-shaped pool extending from the interior of the accommodation seamlessly blends 21st-century design with classic beach house architecture. With a stunning view of the horizon, the open-space interior ensures that most of its living spaces are flooded with golden light. This villa accommodates up to nine guests at any one time and is perfect for small and intimate gathering that is more of a sanctuary rather than adventure. With that spirit, the villa also offers facilities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, and other on-land sports for guests. The rate starts MYR1,100 per night.
This bijou villa overflows with tropical island charm and calm neutral tones that further accentuate the gorgeous beach right at its front door. With a dining area and beachfront massage center, this accommodation is quintessentially a luxury summer vacation spot. The lush landscape and open bathroom concept spur excitement, while those who intend to spend long vacation at the property should not fret about missing out on answering their emails because continuous Wi-Fi connectivity is provided. Receiving excellent reviews from its guests who stayed there earlier, this villa costs MYR780 per night and can accommodate up to three guests at any one time.
Once again, Kudat becomes a scene-stealer with an ostentatious two-storey beach-front villa that is gloriously unique and larger than life with interesting bullock cart-inspired structure. One might even perceive it as a barn rather than a vacation terrace. Still, the interior of this villa is equally handsome, with floor-to-ceiling woodwork that enchants guests from the moment they first step inside. The floating veranda overlooks the pool and the view stretches all the way to the sea. Its secluded location guarantees privacy from onlookers as a lush landscape of trees shrouds the area from plain sight. This two-bedroom property fits four guests and priced at MYR650 per night, making it less than MYR200 per head. With pools and a shared kitchen, guests don't have to venture far for basic necessities.
This humble guesthouse is quite a contrast compared to the rest of the luxurious, highly opulent villas. In fact, this lodge is arguably economic at only MYR120 per night. It is a family home, tucked in a corner of Chew Jetty, which is a clan jetty comprising 88 wooden houses occupied by locals of Hokkien descent since 1880s. Interestingly, all families living in this above-water settlement shares the same surname: Chew. The room accommodates two and has a little balcony that juts out to the sea for a lovely view. This charming village is said to be the place to catch the best sunset views and conveniently close to the city centre. For those seeking a unique experience, this family-oriented lodging might just be what they are looking for.
This hauntingly rustic property is perched up by the edge of Perhentian Island and is surrounded by aquamarine waves crashing against rocky coastline. Made wholly from salvaged wood and runs completely on solar power, this green and eco-friendly mansion exudes pre-colonial beauty. Its interior is just as fetching as its olden exterior, with minimalist and raw materials on display around the house. Each of its four rooms – equipped with beds covered in white linen and white mosquito net – looks otherworldly in photos. Think Gothic film Crimson Peak with a Malay twist, nostalgically beckoning and surreal. At MYR800 per night, this property would surely leave a mark in your life.

I was writing some code involving arrays of pointers and I noticed some extremely strange behavior.
Is there a problem with my C++, the C++ language or is this an error in the compiler (its tested on VS2005/2003).
The following code keeps declaring memory on the heap until it runs out of memory, in Windows 32 bit, this is at around 2 Gigabyte. However when I change the order of one line of code it inexplicably runs out of memory at about 72Megs!
First I define a structure, its just a block of memory
struct TestMemBlock
char MemBlock[1024];
Then I create a function which is just an infinite while loop
void CMyClass::InfiniteWhileLoop()
bool go = true;
long NoAdded = 0;
long TotalMemoryDeclared = 0;
while( go == true )
AddItemTest( NoAdded );
TotalMemoryDeclared += sizeof(TestMemBlock);
In the next function I do 3 things.
1. Declare an Array of Pointers on the heap.
2. Delete the Array of Pointers from the heap.
3. Declare an object on the heap.
If I do them in this order 1,2,3, by setting the "MakeStrangenessHappen = false" the code works as expected and I run out of memory at 2Gig. If I do them in this order 1,3,2 by setting the "MakeStrangenessHappen = true" the code runs out of memory at around 72Meg (or much less than 2Gig).
I KNOW THAT THERE IS A MEMORY LEAK HERE, its an intentional memory leak to see how much memory I can declare before I run out of memory.
int CMemoryTestAppDlg::AddItemTest(long& NoAdded)
bool MakeStrangenessHappen = true;
TestMemBlock** ppListBuff = new TestMemBlock*[NoAdded];
if( MakeStrangenessHappen == true )
TestMemBlock* pNewType = new TestMemBlock; // we will hit a ~72Meg limit, strange!
delete[] ppListBuff;
if( MakeStrangenessHappen == false )
TestMemBlock* pNewType = new TestMemBlock; // we will reach 2 Gig Limit, OK
return 1;
Can anyone explain why the order of items 1,2 & 3 would have such a massive impact on the available memory, the compiler shows no leaks, the code looks functionally the same, so is it a problem in the compiler, my c++ or the c++ language itself!!

Recycling your old refrigerator or freezer is not only one of the most effective ways to save money and energy – it also has big benefits for the environment.
Did you know:
- Older refrigerators and freezers typically use two to four times more energy than today's high-efficiency models, so upgrading from an older model to an energy-efficient one can reduce your associated energy costs by 50-75% – as much as $150 annually*
- Operating two refrigerators can account for more than 20% of home energy consumption, especially if the second unit isn't kept full to help it operate as efficiently as possible
- Recycling a single 20-year-old refrigerator can result in 120 pounds of steel, 20 pounds of plastic and 3 pounds of glass recycled for reuse, while keeping up to 10 tons of ozone-depleting substances out of the air – that's as much as keeping two cars off the road for a year*
Our Appliance Recycling program makes it easy for our customers in Maryland to safely and responsibly dispose of select appliances. We'll haul away and recycle your old, working refrigerator or freezer at no cost – and even send you a $50 check.
You can schedule a pickup and get details online, or call 1-877-395-5540 today. And when you're ready to purchase a new appliance, be sure to check out our Appliance Rebates program for savings on a variety of energy-efficient appliances.

On the campaign trail perhaps?
What is happening at the Turkish Daily News? Not since Keith Dearn passed away a few years ago have we had any decent reports about football that doesn't involve the Istanbul teams. Recently though things are definitely getting better and I enjoyed a rather strange report today concerning everyone's favourite big-boned, big eared, big gambling, extremely lazy midfielder Sergen Yalcin.
The unfortunately un-bylined TDN article (was it you Ozgur Korkmaz?) talks about how the very charasmatic, but also just a bit dodgy ("allegedly", according to lawyers for the "The round ball in Ankara"), finance minister Kemal Unakitan has personally stepped in to secure Yalcin for Eskisehirspor who ply their trade in the "Sorry, the number you have phoned is not connected" League A.
Exactly what Unakitan's connection in the transfer of Yalcin from Sekerspor to Eskisehirspor is not exactly spelt out, neither is Yalcin's brief spell on the Ankaragucu books this summer, but the numbers involved are impressive. 1 million TL for Sekerspor, 900,000 TL a year wage for Yalcin and on top of that a 15,000 TL match appearance fee.
These are big figues for a team not in the top flight.
The TDN goes on to explain that the fans of Eskisehir are known for their left-wing tendencies and the interesting sight of all these left-wingers cheering Yalcin and the AKP's Unakitan.
Weird, weird, weird.
And all this for a player who probably should have retired about three years ago. He hardly got a game at Sekerspor last year thanks to all sorts of reasons.
Good luck Eskisehirspor, but don't be surprised when it all ends in tears in about three months time. By the way, are there direct flight links between Eskisehir and Ercan Airport?
So thanks TDN for opening my eyes a little on what is a very strange story and also thank you for not printing a report on the disaster that was yesterday's Australia - Iraq match, unlike Udo Steven Bassey over at Today's Zaman who no doubt had me in mind when he decided to run a piece.

Good riddance to bad rubbish from Buyuk Baskent !ReplyDelete
ANKARAGUCU's gain is Eskisehir's loss !!!
By the way, can't wait to read Oz Kanka's report of the Aussie v Thailand match. Will it be more upbeat than the previous two me wonders ??!!
Damn it. The TDN today (Monday) have an article about the Asian Cup. Can't we just go back to the old coverage, ie none, and just pretend that this Asian Cup didn't exist. It is all much too embarrassing for me.ReplyDelete
Wait - there are TSL teams outside of Istanbul?ReplyDelete
Just kidding, Kankalar. :)

Meet our Staff
Brad Patterson
Lead Pastor
"The Lord called me as the Lead Pastor of our church in January 2016. My desire is to lead our church to be Christ-centered and missionally minded through biblical preaching, healthy community and serving others. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Pastoral and Historical Theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Carissa, since 2010 and we have two energetic young boys, Judah and Knox."
Justin Pollock
Pastor of Students and Worship
"My greatest passion in ministry is to train and disciple people. That's why worship is so important to me. When we lift our voices in worship, it changes us. It trains our wayward hearts to follow Christ. Another passion of mine is students. I love to see their growing love for God as they become disciples of Christ. Aside from doing ministry, I spend a lot of time hanging out with my wife and daughter (Stephanie and Evie), reading good books, pushing through seminary at DTS, and doing a lot of nerdy stuff."
Colt Church
Connections Pastor
"I grew up in Plano TX and left my hometown with a passion for ministry. I graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a degree in Biblical Studies. The Lord took me down a less conventional path for ministry and gave me a passion for police work. I am an officer in Rockwall TX and serve bi-vocationally as the Connections Pastor at FBC Lavon. My goal is to help people find places and ways to connect within the church whether that be through serving in a ministry or being ministered to. I am happily married to my amazing wife and we have two beautiful girls."
Laura Slay
Ministry Assistant
"Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, I moved to Dallas in 1985 when I married Paul Slay (also a Florida native). We have two mostly grown children. We joined FBC Lavon in 1996 and have both served with joy in many capacities. I became Ministry Assistant in 2015."

Frankopan Castle
Frankopan Castle
The Frankopan Castle and the tower Kvadrac were built in the middle of the 13th century and later expanded to form the city of Novi Vinodolski. The castle was one of the longest and most powerful strongholds of the Frankopans. Its historical significance comes from the fact that the Law Codex of Vinodol was compiled in it on January 6, 1288. The Law Codex of Vinodol is the most significant Croatian and Glagolitic written law text. It provides a rare contemporary picture of the life and political conditions on the estate of the Frankopan family. This signing was attended by representatives of nine free Vinodol towns and Prince Leonard.
