Debt is an amount of money you borrow from another party. It is often used to make large purchases you would otherwise be unable to afford. Purchasing a new car using a loan or buying a brand new oven using a credit card accrues debt.
There is no problem with having debt, as long as you can pay the money back by the date agreed upon by you and the party you borrowed from. If you miss payments to your creditors, financial consequences follow which can ruin your credit and lead to other problems.
If you have personal or corporate debt you are unable to pay off, you need debt help. Kitchener and Hamilton residents and corporations rely on the Licensed Insolvency Trustees (previously known as Trustees in Bankruptcy) at Harris & Partners Inc. for debt help and counselling.
Personal bankruptcy – If you are an adult owing at least $1,000.00 and cannot pay off your debt, you can file for bankruptcy. In this process, you can get a fresh start by assigning your assets to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee to eliminate your debts.
Corporate bankruptcy – An option of last resort, corporate bankruptcy can be initiated by a debtor or creditor. Your corporation's assets will be assigned for the general benefit of your creditors.
Consumer proposal – An alternative to bankruptcy, a consumer proposal is an offer made by you to your creditors requesting lower payments over a longer period of time, which can make paying your debts easier.
Corporate proposal – Becoming insolvent means you are unable to pay your corporate debts. To avoid serious legal problems, there are formal and informal arrangements you can make with your creditors to pay off your debt on a new schedule.
Debt consolidation – By combining all of your debts into one new loan with one monthly payment, debt consolidation can make managing your debt much easier.
There are many debt solutions available to you, especially when you get the help of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. Don't suffer through debt alone; instead, contact one of our 11 offices for debt help in Kitchener, Hamilton and the surrounding areas.
By contacting the Licensed Insolvency Trustees at Harris & Partners Inc. for debt counselling in Hamilton, Kitchener or any of our other locations, you will learn your rights in regards to your debt and get the help you need to get out of debt. Our initial consultation is free, so there is no risk to you.
The team at Harris & Partners Inc. can help you rebuild your credit. Simply contact us to schedule a consultation and get the process started.

Bulldogs Getting Set For The Tigers
ATHENS, Ga. –The sixth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs conducted a two-hour workout Wednesday as they get set for their upcoming Southeastern Conference Championship Game against second-ranked Auburn.
After practice, selected players met with the media to discuss their preparations for the rematch with the Tigers. Auburn gave the Bulldogs their only loss of the season as they met Nov. 11 in Auburn in the Deep South's oldest rivalry. Saturday will be the 122ndmeeting between the programs as it ranks as the fourth most played active series in the NCAA FBS.
"We're excited to be playing for a championship, and we know it's going to be a great atmosphere," said Georgia sophomore tight end Issac Nauta. "We have to be poised and play physical. It's going to be half and half for the crowd this time. Home field advantage is a real thing. You can feed off the energy and communication can be easier or it can be harder.
"We wanted to play them again; we left a lot out there the first time, and it's never a good feeling walking off the field after a loss," Nauta added. "For the tight ends, we need to block really well, and we need to make plays. We're excited about the challenge. We want to bring a championship back to Athens."
"I was thinking back to my freshman year, and we were close to playing in it (SEC Championship Game), and I thought that we'll go next year or the next and now as a senior, we've got that chance and we're ready to take advantage of it," said senior tight end Jeb Blazevich. "Our only loss was to Auburn, and it's a blessing to have a second opportunity to play them."
The Bulldogs are aiming for their 13th SEC title with the most recent one coming in 2005. Georgia is making its sixth appearance in the SEC Championship Game and first since 2012. The SEC Championship Game was first played in 1992 in Birmingham's Legion Field and remained there for one more season. It moved to Atlanta and the Georgia Dome in 1994 where it was held annually until this season.
The Bulldogs (11-1, 7-1 SEC) face the Tigers (10-2, 7-1 SEC) Saturday in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 4:10 p.m. ET, and the game will be televised nationally by CBS Sports.

Rafa Roundup: Fabio Fognini now has a problem only with Toni Nadal

Nadal Books Spot In Beijing Final (via ATP World Tour)
"I'm happy to be in the final obviously," said Nadal. "It's a good result for me, very positive one. And tomorrow is a match to enjoy.
"[This result gives me] a lot of important points for the [Barclays ATP World Tour Finals] too," added Nadal. "I don't say that I am qualified, but with that result I am much closer to being qualified for the World Tour Finals.
Rafael Nadal beats Fabio Fognini in straight sets at China Open to reach first hard court final in 18 months (via Daily Mail)
Fognini said: 'What happened in Hamburg is in the past, for sure. But I have nothing to say with him [Nadal]. I have all respect with him outside and inside the court. I was telling another time, the history was not against him, but against his team, especially the uncle.'
Nadal was quick, however, to play down any suggestion of any lingering issues with Fognini. He said: 'I don't know what's going on, seriously. We had the issue that we had in Hamburg and that's it. At the US Open, no problems. No problems today. It was a very easy match in terms of attitude for both of us. Very, very easy I think for the umpire.'

Moya, Corretja Back Nadal To Come Back Stronger (via ATP Champions Tour)
Close friend and fellow Mallorcan Moya is also confident that Nadal can find a way transfer his strong practice form to the match court.
'He just needs to win a couple of those tough matches, the ones he would always win in the past,' he said. 'He's started losing those matches. It's happened to all the players in the world but it's a new situation for him. He's healthy, which is the most important thing, but it means the problem is a mental thing. But I'm really sure he's going to get over it next year. To get to number one again it could be tough because Novak is so strong, but for sure he will compete for Grand Slam titles again.
Nadal is determined to stay calm, motivated despite the storm of 2015 (via SI.com)
"We're working on how he moves, but mostly we need to get his forehand back. That's what he's been missing the most this year. But recently at training it's been better, we just now lack the safety of knowing that he can repeat those sequences over and over again."
"Tennis is Rafael's life," Toni said. "As he earned enough money he could have picked whatever he wanted to, but he still chose tennis. Because he loves it."
October Surprises (via tennis.com)
Is he just getting older? Is the game evolving? Those two things are inevitable. Or can he, as Toni maintains, rise again with his old game? History says yes. But the recent history of tennis also says that change is good, even for veterans in their 30s. Rafa need only look at Federer's work with Stefan Edberg, and Serena's work with Patrick Mouratoglou, to know that you can teach an old champ new tricks.

Of course we all want you to win and see you 'bite' that throphy but whatever the outcome is it is progress on your way back to your best form. Vamos Rafa!
Maica leone says:
MOIS JE TE DIS TOUT SIMPLEMENT BONNE CHANCE RAFA ..JOUE TON MEILLEUR TENNIS , CROIS EN TOI TU LE MERITES..GAGNER OU PERDU PEUX IMPORTE AVANCE ET TU VERRAS LE BOUT DU TUNNEL,TU ES UN BATTANT ET TOUT VA PAYER ..VAMOS ! RAFA ON T'AIME ET ON EST AVEC TOI …
Rafagirl says:
So glad Rafa won that match with Fognini. He looked so happy and releaved. Rafa has nothing to prove. We know he's a great tennis player and I just want him to stay healthy and keep playing. Win or lose I'm behind him.at this stage, he just should enjoy himself. He doesn't need the extra money, and he's already made history. So let's just enjoy the game as it is. Novak is a great player as Rafa himself admits. He is making his history now.
Mona Pettit says:
Never Novak as far as I'm concerned. Never liked him.
Some posters don't know what else to say and as better he is playing as more those posters are getting upset lol. I'd like to know of whom they really are fans, Roger or Novak? lol again
Chandra Ramdass (@chamdi49) says:
so what ! If Joker wins tomorrow no big deal ! Joker is on top of his game and Rafa been there done that and he definitely can't win them all, he's only human and not a robot !Rafa has been going through so many issues on his return after his surgery for appendicitis and other injuries he played amazing for all these years and I personally am happy to know Rafa is healthy and playing he's a champion to the heart and a great inspiration to many young people out there also a fighter who can motivate anyone when they are down never give up ! Keep going to the last point ! Rafa a champion always !
Mona says:
Very well said and all true. I love Rafa!!!!!
Sosa Laforge says:
What the heck happened to his forehand shots? Why his opponents have much more winners these days?
I still believe RAFA needs to consult a sport psychologist and hire a new coach.
Rafa_1310 says:
@Move in Rafa or move on
"Toni is more than a cheerleader than a coach?"
Are you crazy? Rafa and Toni won together 14 GS, 27 masters, Olympic-Gold-Medal and many more things. Toni and Rafa are a great team, they are just strong together.
Sorry, but i have no respect for your comment!
Vamos Rafa and good luck for tomorrow!
Move In Rafa Or Move On says:
Fognini is right about Uncle Toni's unprofessional behavior in Hamburg where he clearly tried to distract the Italian with his frequent gestures and histrionics. That's bush league stuff. I've never seen any other ATP coach do that – although truth be told, Toni is far more a companion and cheerleader than a coach for Rafa.
Elizabeth Howard says:
Fabio Fagnini's problem is himself and his temper. He has a great game but lack of self control is an issue that he is unlikely to change at this stage.
Good to see a vote of confidence for Rafael from Moya and Corretja and say that he will return to his best form and so say all of us. Vamos Rafaaaa
Moya and Corretja are FRIENDS of Rafa. What else are they going to say?
midgie says:
Oh good Lord. Frankly, you are becoming a parody of yourself. That should be embarrassing for someone who thinks so highly of himself, but sadly, I suspect it is not.
Great Thinker says:
Lizzy,
Still Great Thinker thinks Rafa will lose to the Unbeatable Djokovic tomorrow , but we'd see.
Like my cousin, Deep Thinker, suggested Rafa should have 'strategically exited' to avoid meeting Novak so that the Head to Head against Djoker will continue to be in Rafa's favour.
Now when Rafa loses tomorrow, the Head to Head will reduce from 23-21 to 23-22.
Not good for Rafa's legacy at all!

The double header, which was implemented in Melbourne-s first home match of the 2012-13 season, will provide Victorian football fans with the opportunity to consume elite level football and the finale of Victoria-s top tier.
Melbourne Heart-s CEO Scott Munn has welcomed the accord.
"After building on last year-s double header, this will be another great opportunity to celebrate grassroots football and to showcase both the national and local competitions," Munn said.

Q: galaxy s4 Chrome mobile internet vs wifi the weirdest thing happened to me,
I developed responsive html document front end,
when I open it while connecting to the mobile network, the css was broken,
when I open it while connected to the wifi, it works as it should be.
the device is galaxy S4 on chrome browser.
I tried to uninstall the updates it didn't worked, I reinstall the updates it and now it works some times,
this test site is working on almost every device - including galaxy mini S4,
does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?

A: Without any other information to base an explanation on, the only thing that seems likely to cause this sort of issue is something old and incorrect being cached on one connection which was then freshly downloaded by the other connection. If you go into the settings for your browser and clear your cache, I would expect that your issue will disappear, as the type (mobile network vs. wifi) of the internet connection over which a page is loaded has no effect on the way the CSS is rendered once the browser receives it.


Did you ever felt, that one Charger/USB cable set charges your device really fast and the other not? Now, you can prove this with Ampere. Measure the charging and discharging current of your battery. Widgets and notification are PRO features. The app works on Android 4.0.3+ devices. Not every device is supported because there are devices which lacks an appropriate measurement chip (or the interface) and they can not be supported at all. Please read the list of not supported phones at the end of the description. The app is not meant to be mA accurate. It is only good for evaluate which Charger/USB cable combo is working the best for you on the same device. Please don't use the readings on this app as concrete science. However, the readings are good enough to relatively measure how various chargers and USB cables fair on the same device. If the app shows 0mA all the time, please use the settings option "Old measurement method". You can force the app with it to use the old measurement interface, if the Lollipop device has at least one. Unfortunately some Samsung devices don't give correct (measured) values (e.g.: S5), just the maximum possible charging current with the actual USB cable/charger configuration. This is a firmware problem.
Ampere is the perfect app for you on your android smartphone if you are really curious to know what the differences are between two of your different phone chargers for your android device.
You can download the great Ampere app on your android smartphone for free from here and learn what are different chargers doing to your android smartphone when charging it.

Building Skills for Science and Life on the San Juan River
By Tory Syracuse
Northern Arizona University's Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS) program supports high schoolers who are potential first-generation college students.
According to Director Mark Despain, "UBMS focuses on working with students from five high schools in northern Arizona. Most of our students self-identify as Diné and live on the Navajo Nation."
UBMS students and a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area scientist review data collected from acoustic monitoring equipment they have set up to listen for and record bat species while on the river. Photo: Walt Carr
UBMS offers students a summer academic program, called The Academy, designed to give them the experience of living in a college atmosphere before graduating high school. The culmination of The Academy is a GCY expedition, where students apply the science skills they've been learning on the NAU campus to the spectacular classroom of the San Juan River.
The GCY expedition provides participants with new experiences and skills as they prepare for the transition to college. From collecting field data to cooking their own meals, skills gained on the river help set these students up for future success in academics and life.
According to Despain, "Our partnership with GCY has helped these students understand how water in northern Arizona, as a scarce commodity, is so important to their daily lives, communities, and Nation. Students take biological, chemical, and physics measurements at each camp site, then compile that data. But beyond the educational curriculum, the trip helps students understand that the San Juan River is a part of their heritage, and a part of their life as a water source for their homes and communities."
UBMS students prepare to launch on the San Juan River for four days of science and fun during the summer of 2019. Photo: Mark Despain.

Statins can protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to new study
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, June 22, 2009 - High cholesterol levels are considered to be a risk factor not only for cardiovascular disease including stroke, but also for the development of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, many cholesterol lowering drugs, including statins, have been developed in recent years. In addition to the cholesterol reducing effect of statins Amalia Dolga, PhD, of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and her co-investigators have demonstrated that statins can protect nerve cells against damage which we know to occur in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients. The results are published in the June issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
How nerve cells die in Alzheimer's disease is complex but we know that nerve cells eventually die because they are strongly overstimulated, a process called excitotoxicity. In animal experiments conducted in the laboratory of Professor Ulrich Eisel, Department of Molecular Neurobiology, University of Groningen, Dolga and colleagues overstimulated such nerve cells. They clearly demonstrated that treatment with a statin called Lovastatin could prevent the death of nerve cells under these conditions. The statins not only prevented cells from dying but also prevented the loss of memory capacity that normally occurs after such cell death. In a previous study Dolga had showed that these statins stimulate the protective capacity of tumor necrosis factor, which is a key player in the brain's immune response.
Dolga has demonstrated in animal experiments that this tumor necrosis factor has a strong beneficial effect on nerve cells and can protect nerve cells against death. A widely prescribed drug like statins can activate this protective pathway revealing strong beneficial effect.
The article "Pretreatment with Lovastatin Prevents N-Methyl-D-Aspartate-Induced Neurodegeneration in the Magnocellular Nucleus Basalis and Behavioral Dysfunction" Amalia M. Dolga, Ivica Granic, Ingrid M. Nijholt, Csaba Nyakas, Eddy A. van der Zee, Paul G. M. Luiten, and Ulrich L. M. Eisel is published in Volume 17:2 (June 2009) of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

JUJHAR SINGH HADA
Hindu bhagats and poets, and Punjabi officials
JUJHAR SINGH HADA (d. 1696), who comes in for a prominent mention in Guru Gobind Singh`s Bachitra Ndtak, was a Rajput general sent by the Mughal authority to the Sivalik hills in the last decade of the seventeenth century to retrieve its hold on the hill rajas. When the news of Husain Khan`s death on 20 February 1696 at the hands of the men of Raja Gopal of Guler reached Lahore, Dilawar Khan, the Mughal chief, despatched Jujhar Singh to the hills. Jujhar Singh recaptured the town of Bhallan, in Una district, which the hill ro/dshad occupied, but, before he could consolidate his position, he was attacked by Gaj Singh ofJasvan. In spite of Jujhar Singh`s hostility.


Based on Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel, THE NOTEBOOK tells the achingly tender story of two young lovers whose passion is put to the test. Allie, elderly and ravaged by Alzheimer's, lives alone in a nursing home, the memory of her passionate youth all but lost. Duke, a fellow patient, reads to Allie the story of her life from her own tattered notebook. She and Noah fell in love in the 1940's, but her parents tore them apart. Years later, when fate brought them back together, she had to make a choice between her first love and a man she was betrothed to marry. Who did she choose? As the story unfolds, it is clear that Duke is more than a patient, and in her rare moments of clarity, Allie can see...Noah. Spanning six decades, this visually and emotionally sweeping romantic saga is a testament to the enduring power of love.
The cinematography by Robert Fraisse ("Seven Years in Tibet") is simply beautiful. Sunset, a simple boat ride down the river is amazingly captured with the right mood and angles. South Carolina where the movie is filmed is scenically shot. Although "The Notebook" doesn't boast a well-known cast, everyone including the leads and supporting members did a great job. Joan Allen's performance as McAdams' mum is astounding.
"The Notebook" is a tale of undying love and passion. It's pace is slow, full of clichés. Nevertheless, there are parts where tears are shed and sniffing can be heard. No men can live without memories which is why we used videocams, cameras and in this case a notebook to jot, take down every details and I don't think memories will be the same if Love does not constitute a part.
In conclusion, this movie is not just for romantic diehards but recommended to audience who simply desire a story of undying love and sacrifices.
Publicity Stills of "The Notebook"


Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently made two separate communications to the Indian government to fulfil its commitment made at the political level to ease and increa se the supplies of fuel and other essential commodities to Nepal.
In response t o a press briefing by Vikas Swarup, spokesperson for India's Ministry of Exter nal Affairs, on Friday in New Delhi, a senior Foreign Ministry official said tha t Nepal made such request recently with the Indian side as per the commitment ma de by the Indian political leadership during the visit of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa.
The Nepali side, in its correspon dence with India, gave the details of the status of fuel and essential commoditi es passed through various customs points and urged the Indian side to increase t hem as it has taken a toll on Nepal's economy and livelihood.
But officials in Nepal said in clear t erms that the blockage is from the Indian side and that Nepal is ready to provide all kind of security to Nepal-bound cargoes and freights. Tara Pokhrel, spokes person at the ministry, said the Nepalis have been suffering from the shortage o f fuel and other essentials.
He added that the Foreign Ministry was taking dipl omatic initiatives to improve the conditions.
Swarup also commented on the rece nt memorandum of understanding between Nepal and China. "We have seen reports that Nepal has signed an agreement with China," he said, adding that Nepal's trade with India is multi-faceted, diverse and deep-rooted.
Nearly two thirds of Nepal's international trade is with India and a bulk of the third country t rade passes through India, he said. Nearly half of the foreign investments in Ne pal is from India.
The EAM spokesperson added that several hundred cargo trucks are still passing daily through the crossings that are open. "The IOC [Indian Oil Corporation] is able to deliver only 30 percent of the allocation [to Nepal ] on average. We facilitated airlifting of aviation turbine fuel earlier. And we are ready to facilitate similar operations in future." He said that the India n side was also facilitating the rerouting of LPG bullets. He indicated that Ind ia was ready to engage with the new government in Nepal.
"As far as [our] eng agement with the new government is concerned, you are aware that [foreign minist er] Kamal Thapa came within a week of assuming office. We had good discussions. He acknowledged that there is a political problem in Nepal which needs a political solution," he said, urging the political parties in Nepal to accommodate th e disgruntled people.
The Supreme Court has ordered the government to furnish a written explanation as to why it did no t raise the issue of India's unofficial blockade on Nepal in the international arena.
The single bench of Chief Justice Kalyan Shrestha issued the fiat on Fr iday in response to a writ petition filed by the Forum for Protection of Consume r�™s Rights Nepal. The apex court has also ordered the government to present the details of the efforts that are being made to end the blockade.
Arguing that the obstruction on supply of emergency essentials such as petroleum products and medicines should not be blocked even during wartime, the plaintiff has termed the blockade a crime against humanity, and demanded the court to order the govern ment to file an application at the United Nations, seeking the latter's interv ention to end the blockade, and lodge a separate complaint at the Indian Supreme Court in accordance with the provision in the Indian constitution.
A member na tion of the World Trade Organisation, Nepal has the right to import goods from t hird countries. As a landlocked nation, Nepal also enjoys the right to access to sea for import of goods without any obstruction. Legally, any national can file complaints at the United Nations, if any provisions pertaining to the landlocke d country and the international maritime laws are violated.

Looming large as the world's tallest building for some 40 years, the Empire State Building has made an appearance in over 100 films, contains around 10 million bricks and was immortalised in An Affair to Remember as the 'nearest thing to heaven in New York'. There are two observation decks to enjoy a bird's eye view of NYC: the open-air 86th floor and the enclosed 102nd floor.
2. Statue of Liberty
While her first gig was welcoming immigrants sailing into New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty's primary job these days is being photographed by millions of tourists or hosting them in her crown. Originally a gift from France, the World Heritage-listed Lady Liberty is looking pretty good for 128 years old and continues to be a beacon of freedom and independence.
3. Brooklyn Bridge
The best way to experience the scenic link connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn is by slipping on your sneakers and taking a 20-minute stroll across the East River. With an impressive claim as the world's first steel suspension bridge, there have been countless odes to the beautiful Brooklyn, even from Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.
Don't underestimate Central Park – it's scale and grandeur comes as quite a surprise to many visitors. More than 800-acres of sculpted gardens, leafy walkways, memorials, tranquil lakes and beautiful meadows make this the most visited park in the United States. Hire a bike, a paddle-boat or take a classic horse and carriage ride through the so-called 'lungs of Manhattan'.
5. Times Square
The concrete jungle that is New York City dazzles in Time Square with iridescent billboards and the blur of yellow taxis whooshing past the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Ave. Watch the world go by in the now pedestrianised hub touted as the 'Crossroads of the World', or visit on December 31 to see the famous Times Square Ball drop into the new year.
6. Flatiron Building
Regarded as one of the prettiest facades to grace the City, the Flatiron Building is a beautiful spot in the Uptown district and is best appreciated from the vantage point of Madison Square Park. You can't miss the Flatiron for its unique wedge-shaped appearance – architecture buffs will enjoy the Parisian beaux-arts style – and the trademark updraft thanks to its triangular design.
7. Top of the Rock
Rockefeller Centre, an aptly named 'city within a city', encompasses 19 purpose-built retail, entertainment and office buildings in Midtown. The pinnacle of the eye-catching Art Deco towers is the GE Building, with a freshly revamped observation area ('Top of the Rock') on the 70th floor. The 360-degree view of New York City is arguably even better than that from the Empire State Building.
8. Broadway
The place where dreams are made, broken and pieced back together to raucous applause. New York's Theatre District better known as 'Broadway' officially covers the space between Sixth and Eighth avenues, from around 40th to 54th Street. This epicentre of artistic expression has around 40 theatres with 500-plus seating capacity, hosting big name productions which include Mama Mia!, Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera.
9. Chrysler Building
You wouldn't say it of many skyscrapers, but the Chrysler Building sure is a looker. The Art Deco masterpiece had 11 months as the world's tallest building before the Empire State Building crept skyward, but the Chrysler's real appeal lies inside. Visit the jazz-era lobby and be wowed by the ceiling mural and marble embellishments, or admire its crown-patterned spire from afar.
10. Wall Street
The Wall Street financial district is a beating heart of global commerce where stocks are bought and sold by the split-second. The eight-block strip in Lower Manhattan is a sea of suits during the week due to the New York Stock Exchange (the largest in the world) and is known as Manhattan's original neighbourhood – arguably no other city pocket is as rich in history.

O.C. supervisor already eyeing Duvall's Assembly seat
September 9, 2009 | 5:52 pm
Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby said this afternoon that disgraced legislator Michael Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) "did the right thing under the circumstances" by resigning his Assembly seat today in the face of a sex scandal, then quickly added: "And I'm going to do the right thing."
That, the two-term supervisor said, will be to run for Duvall's seat in a special election, the primary for which is expected to be held before year's end.
Norby said he was planning to run for county clerk-recorder in 2010 but now will seek Duvall's 72nd District seat. Seventy percent of the Assembly district is in Norby's 4th Supervisorial District, including a large chunk of his hometown of Fullerton, where he was elected to the City Council in 1984 and reelected four times.
Norby won his supervisor's seat in 2002 and was reelected in 2006. That term expires at the end of 2010, and a special election would be called to finish out Norby's term if he won Duvall's seat.
Norby, a Republican, said that he hadn't planned to challenge Duvall in 2010 but that the assemblyman's abrupt departure over comments about his sexual trysts "opens up an opportunity."
The supervisor hasn't been immune to problems himself. In March 2008, he acknowledged that he spent campaign funds to pay for a one-week stay at a Fullerton hotel the previous summer as his third marriage came to an end, an expense labeled a "study of homeless and motel families" on financial disclosure forms.
He spent a few days sleeping in his office, then one well-remarked-upon episode in a park, before checking into the hotel. He paid $340 for the room at the bed and breakfast, according to his disclosure forms. He admitted that the expenditure was a mistake and repaid the money to his campaign.
Noting that he's been among those who have bashed the Legislature for how it governs, Norby said Sacramento wields a lot of influence over local governments and he wants "to be part of the solution."
Of Duvall's sudden departure from the political scene, Norby said, "It's a surprise. He's got a lot of challenges ahead with his family, his personal situation, and I certainly wish him well with those. He did the right thing under the circumstances. He did it quickly."
Norby then segued into his plans for running. Asked later if he wanted to say anything more about Duvall, Norby said he wanted to look forward and not back.
"That was three hours ago," he said of Duvall's resignation.

In his London studio, British painter Francis Bacon discusses his work and approach with David Sylvester, a friend and close observer of his art since the late 1940s.
Central to their conversation are Bacon's controversial, horrifying subjects, and surprising style. His representations of the human figure in portraits and triptychs link him, in his view, to the distorted realism of Van Gogh and Picasso, who also portrayed the intensity of life that Bacon calls "the brutality of fact."
A beautiful, intense document. I've read the interviews multiple times so it's wonderful to see them come to life. Bacon is as fascinating a person as he is an artist.
One of my favorite interviews of an artist. Love the pacing and the unexpected glimpses of intimacy.

SUN ANNOUNCES VAST PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS, BREAKTHROUGH DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES TO SOLARIS OS ON SPARC, INTEL AND AMD OPTERON PROCESSOR-BASED SYSTEMS
By SPARC Editor on December 3, 2003 in 2003
More Than 3,000 Customers, Including Xerox, Enjoy Access To Innovative New Features Through Solaris OS Distributions
Decemeber 3, 2003
SunNetwork 2003 Conference and Pavilion – December 3, 2003 – Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced significant updates to its Solaris Operating System (OS) and additional support for its "military-grade" Trusted Solaris Operating System. In addition, unlike competitors such as HP, which has end-of-lifed certain UNIX offerings such as its Alpha Tru-64 and delayed shipment of HP-UX11i v.3 by 18 months, Sun announced the latest results of investments in the Solaris OS with vast performance improvements, increased security, and breakthrough diagnostic capabilities in the latest Solaris OS distributions. With Sun's new commitment to provide the Solaris OS on the 32- and 64-bit AMD Opteron processor-based platform — jointly announced with AMD on November 17, 2003 — customers will have a robust, globally supported, high performance and broadly adopted platform, running on SPARC, Intel and AMD Opteron processor-based systems, to turn to as a compelling alternative.
"Customers tell me they are reassured that we have redoubled our efforts with continued investment in the Solaris OS," said John Loiacono, vice president, operating platforms group for Sun. "With our focus on delivering dramatic performance increases for low-end systems and TCP/IP networking, industry leading security levels, and simple effective virtualization technologies, we are bolstering the Solaris OS as the foundation for the Sun Java Enterprise System for SPARC and AMD Opteron processor-based systems. Sun remains committed to delivering the very same functionality of the Solaris OS on its volume platforms SPARC and x86, which include the AMD Opteron processor, all at aggressive price points."
Features included in the December Solaris OS distributions include:
x86 Performance Optimization: Improvements to Solaris x86 OS deliver higher throughput by taking advantage of the full capabilities of today's x86 platforms with extended instruction sets and higher bandwidth interconnects. Support has been added for the Streaming Instruction set (SSE2 and hyperthreading), which is expected to deliver greatly improved video and audio streaming performance over previously available releases. Sun's internal tests show industry leading Java technology and application server performance on one to two CPU systems delivering performance increases over earlier versions of the Solaris OS.
Advancements in Network Performance: Today's high bandwidth networks place heavy demands on the operating system and on the processor. Sun has redesigned the networking code within the Solaris OS, to deliver dramatically higher network throughput with less processor load. The new version of the Solaris OS delivers from 20 to 47 percent better networking performance than previous versions. Customers can benefit by getting improvements in networking infrastructure without purchasing additional hardware.
Enhanced Security: Microsoft recently announced that its "Longhorn" Windows Operating System would not be available until mid-2005, leaving its customers waiting for much-needed OS security enhancements. By applying the higher security protection of role based access controls and fine grained privileges within the Solaris OS, systems administrators greatly diminish their risk of viruses, worms, trojan horses, and other malicious code that may find its way into the system. Solaris, already recognized as one of the industry's most secure operating systems, now gets bolstered with these new features that enable systems administrators to have even more fine-grained control of system security, for example, user and system processes are granted only the necessary access to operating system services and data that they need to perform their tasks and no more.
DTrace Advanced Tracing: The Solaris OS delivers a new tool that pervasively tracks and logs critical system and software activity on demand – which increases a system administrator's productivity and helps reduce downtime. The ability to dynamically "trace" every system process allows system administrators and developers to identify the bottlenecks in production systems and/or software applications, thereby dramatically speeding the time to resolution or optimization, saving costs and improving service. Early use of DTrace has shown reductions in resolution time from several days to hours, or even minutes.
Network File System version 4 (NFS v.4): To save networking infrastructure costs, many IT groups wish to exploit the internet for linking distant data centers. NFS v.4 extends the benefits of file sharing by enabling secure access to files across the internet. The Solaris OS implementation has a stronger security negotiation mechanism, enhanced extensibility capabilities and cross platform interoperability over previous versions of Solaris.
These next generation features are delivered through Sun Software Express, Sun's innovative early access program that provides subscribers with predictable monthly installments of software code in advance of release and allows them to develop, test and optimize applications to allow for faster time-to-market. Sun Software Express for Solaris, which is the first Sun software product available through this new distribution mechanism, is gaining continued success with more than 3,000 downloads in three months.
"With the Software Express for Solaris program we can take advantage of the latest Solaris technologies on an accelerated schedule, allowing faster time-to-market for our own products," said Rich Lauria, manager of production controller development at Xerox Corporation. "We immediately embraced the program and are seeing good results."
In addition, Sun today announced the fifth update to the Solaris 9 OS for SPARC and x86 platforms. New features in the update release include secure provisioning and booting, and change management via the Internet. These features, paired with current capabilities such as Solaris Containers, make the Solaris 9 OS the first commercial UNIX OS that can be booted remotely over the Internet without local network support. The Solaris 9 OS includes resource management capabilities built-in at no additional charge. The latest release also fully integrates the Sun Java Application Server 7 with the Solaris OS x86 and SPARC and includes the lastest Java Virtual Machine, J2SE 1.4.2.
Sun also announced Trusted Solaris for the SPARC and x86 platform, which includes support for additional Sun hardware such as the low-cost Sun Fire V60x and V65x systems, and the Sun Fire V250 and V440 SPARC systems. The latest version of Sun's military-grade Trusted Solaris OS allows customers to take advantage of unique multi-level security features. Trusted Solaris is now being implemented in commercial application environments, such as banking and healthcare, for the same reasons governments and the armed forces find it useful — military-grade security – which provides mandatory access controls, data separation, and security labels that help prevent unauthorized access and alteration of data.
Increased Momentum for Solaris OS x86
With more than 375,000 registered licenses since January 2003, the Solaris OS x86 is rapidly gaining partner and customer momentum. Sun recently partnered with AMD to deliver Solaris OS support and optimization for AMD's 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. With support from ISV partners such as BEA, Sybase and others, the Solaris x86 application portfolio is expanding quickly. Customers such as Maya Online, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research and GetMore Securities have chosen Solaris x86 over competing operating systems. Additionally, more than 175 systems are now listed on the Solaris x86 hardware compatibility list (HCL), enabling customers to take advantage of the enterprise-class Solaris OS on third-party x86 systems.

The placenta is the food spring for the unborn child in the womb. In dreams this can be a symbol for them (above all spiritual, emotional and spiritual) food which the dreaming attains by his environment. In addition, the placenta refers to it in which manner the dreaming is dependent on other people. If the dreaming tackles a new plan, he must realise that he does not have the resources maybe to provide enough for himself. He demands food of an external spring with which he feels linked.
Personal dependence is differently formed with every person. The respect between mother and child is unique, - the placenta can emphasise the uniqueness of a respect. The separation of the mother is a heavy shock, and the placenta acts as 'a buffer' in this process. If a dream of the placenta acts, it illustrates the need of the dreaming to dispose in times of a heavy separation of such 'a buffer'.
you must begin at the beginning again, has good courage.

| W. Hoops' captains on target to snap records
W. Hoops' captains on target to snap records
By Jeremy Dubert 02/21/01 5:00am
Penn senior Diana Caramanico needs just 30 points to break Allison Feaster's Ivy League scoring record. (Stefan Miltchev/The Daily Pennsylvanian)
For the Penn women's basketball team, this weekend has the potential to be momentous for a number of reasons. For one, senior co-captain Diana Caramanico is just 29 points shy of becoming the Ivy League's all-time leading women scorer. Harvard's Allison Feaster, who starred for the Crimson from 1994-1998, holds the current record with 2,312 points. Feaster took home Ivy League Player of the Year honors three consecutive years. When she graduated in 1998, torch was passed to Caramanico. Penn's forward has been named league Player of the Year each of the last two seasons. Appropriately enough, Caramanico, who seems likely to win her third Ivy League Player of the Year award this year, is on pace to break Feaster's mark in Cambridge on Saturday. "I think it makes it a monumental weekend," Penn coach Kelly Greenberg said. "But only after we win two games." Against Harvard and Dartmouth the first time around this season at the Palestra, Caramanico recorded 21 points in a win over the Crimson before throwing down 26 against the Big Green in an 81-75 Penn victory in overtime. The senior forward and freshly crowned Ivy League Player of the Week, though, downplayed the significance of the achievement. She said that the primary objective for her is winning. "[The record] will happen at some point," Caramanico said. Caramanico's fellow captain, senior Erin Ladley, is also on the verge of making history. Heading into Friday's matchup with Dartmouth, Ladley is just 24 points shy of reaching the 1,000-point plateau in her Penn career. "I try not to think about it, but it's in the back of my mind," Ladley said. * The magic number right now is three. Any combination of Penn victories and Harvard losses adding up to three will give the Quakers their first-ever conference championship. And this means that two Penn wins this weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth would clinch the league title and an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. The Red and Blue (17-5, 9-0 Ivy League) are off to their best Ivy League start in team history, and presently sit three games up on second-place Harvard (9-12, 6-3) with just five games remaining for each club. "It's getting to the point where I can't even concentrate on schoolwork," Caramanico said. "It would just be a relief and a really thrilling thing [to clinch this weekend]." Still, though, the Quakers do not want to get ahead of themselves. Last season, defending Ivy League champion Dartmouth played a spirited contest against Penn up in Hanover, N.H. "Last year when we went up there, they beat us soundly," said Greenberg, who added that winning both games this weekend in two difficult places to play is not absolutely imperative. "I think it's more important to go into Dartmouth and Harvard with poise and confidence and to play well." *	When Penn got together with the pair of New England Ivies two weekends ago, not only were the games close and hotly contested, but they became a little chippy at times, particularly against Dartmouth. The Big Green's rugged style may have raised a couple of Quakers player's eyebrows, and Penn will be prepared for another tough fight on Friday. "I think it's going to be the same kind of game," Ladley said. "It's going to be physical." Greenberg, though, is not adverse to playing under these type of conditions. "I think the Dartmouth game is going to be a tough one," she said. "But we want that. I'm hoping the girls really rise to the occasion."
Penn wrestling picks up two big wins, falls to Army in weekend of EIWA dual matchups


PHOENIX (FOX 10) - Normally, the backyard is the perfect place for Dan Masters to let his two Papillons play.
Until last Wednesday, when a couple of rodents spoiled the fun.
"Right around sunset, our two dogs, Kate and Trooper, ran right over here and saw a roof rat, a very large one, run up the side of the house," Master said.
Nine-year-old Trooper jumped in to attack the roof rat, capturing it in his mouth and killing it, but he got bit during the scuffle.
"We hear him cry and whimper and we see blood coming from his mouth," Masters said.
Immediately, Dan rushed Trooper to an emergency veterinarian where he received vaccinations, pain medication and a rabies booster shot.
Dr. Tauenberger of Phoenix Veterinary Emergency Hospital says Dan made the right call for any pet owner to make in a crisis, like Trooper's.
"Rats specifically can cause diseases that dogs are susceptible to," he said. "With rat bait, they can cause really severe problems in dogs as well, Just like they can kill rats, they can also kill dogs."
The roof rats are searching for fruits like citrus, water or other food sources.
Dan says he's lucky that Trooper is now doing better because it could have been much worse.
"Our biggest concern was besides rabies or what other diseases the rat that bit him may have carried, but fortunately, he ended up OK and he's ready to go back at it again," he said.

Трупіа́л-черне́ць кубинський (Ptiloxena atroviolacea) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини трупіалових (Icteridae). Ендемік Куби. Єдиний представник монотипового роду Кубинський трупіал-чернець (Ptiloxena).

Опис

Довжина птаха становить 27 см. самиці дещо менші за самців. Забарвлення повністю чорне з фіолетовим або зеленуватим відблиском, більш вираженим у самців. Молоді птахи мають тьмяніше забарвлення. Очі темно-карі, дзьоб і лапи чорні. Кубинські трупіали-чернеці досить схожі на самиць антильських граклів, однак у Quiscalus niger очі яскраві, жовті.

Поширення і екологія
Кубинські трупіали-чернеці є ендеміками головного острова Куби, вони відсутні на Ісла-де-ла-Хувентуд та на інших сусідніх островах. Живуть у вологих рівнинних тропічних лісах, в чагарникових заростях, на полях, плантаціях, в парках і садах. Зустрічаються на висоті до 500 м над рівнем моря.

Поведінка
Кубинські трупіали-чернеці зустрічаються невеликими зграйками, іноді приєднуються до змішаних зграй птахів разом з антильськими граклами. Раціон різноманітний і містить зерно, різноманітні плоди, комах і дрібних рептилій. Сезон розмноження триває з березня по липень. Гніздо робиться з корінців, сухої трави, рослинних волокон, пір'я і шерсті, розміщується на пальмі або в заростях епіфітних бромелієвих. У кладці 3—4 білих яйця розміром 29×19 см, поцяткованих коричневими або сірими плямками.

anyone familiar with the sonic differences besides power?
Woofers in parallel at 3.8 ohms is a no-brainer for the PWR-ICE250 with combined 160 watts max rms!
You can easily check out the Icepower module complete amplifier datasheet for more measurements/details (on the product page) however these are quite similar specs basically (apart from power). The DSP module is the same for both amplifier models.
For the 3way, we know of few pls using a hybrid (i.e. passive for High + Mid driven from one channel of the amp). It's been done before quite successfully.

My friends and I are planning to visit a foreign country, and we have not come to a mutual
agreement on which country to visit. As you know, we are cash strapped. As a seasoned traveller,
can you please suggest a budget-friendly tourist destination, the best mode of transport to use
and the duration of stay?
Bye! I am looking forward to your reply.

Bridgton Drive-In Announces 'Hopeful' Opening Date for their 65th Season
Jeff Parsons Published: March 23, 2021
Bridgton Twin Drive-In via Facebook
As spring takes over and the snow slowly melts away, the Bridgton Twin Drive-In is getting ready to start its 65th season and has announced a general time frame of when they hopefully will open.
With the recent closing of Cinemagic theaters in Westbrook, South Portland and Saco, many movie goers will be turning to the Bridgton Twin Drive-In for a night out at the movies.
Each year, the Bridgton Drive-In shoots for an opening sometime in mid April, weather depending. In 2017 the planned opening on April 14th got delayed due to two feet of snow still on the ground and another storm on the way. If the weather continues in the pattern it has been in for the second half of March, that might not be an issue this year.
The big announcement went up on the Bridgton Drive-In's marquee on March 22.
So no solid date yet, but a mid-April opening doesn't seem out of the question.
Asked on Facebook what movies they will be showing, they responded that they didn't know yet and would see what's available when they get closer to opening. They were also asked if they would be doing single features like they did last year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the said they were unsure.
The Bridgton Drive-In has a history of showing classics from the 80s along with some new releases. With the movie industry turned on its head for the past year, it's tough to predict what will be made available to show.
Keep your eye on the marquee and on the Bridgton Twin Drive-In Facebook page for a firm opening date.
