COMMON CONDITIONS WE SEE IN PRACTICE
LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is an extremely common condition that we as Chiropractors come across every day. There are multiple reasons why a person can suffer from low back pain and the cause is usually different for each individual patient. There are many possibilities including a lumbar or sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, soft tissue damage, muscle spasm, a disc injury, degenerative joint disease, stress fractures, nerve impingement, etc. This is just to name a few common causes of lower back pain.
The most common cause of neck pain that we come across is known as cervical facet dysfunction. The joints of the neck (cervical spine) may lose movement and “lock up” depending on a variety of issues. Various causes for joint dysfunction in the neck may include work related micro-trauma, posture, past injuries, whiplash, stress or even exercise, etc. This can result in surrounding muscle spasm creating increased amounts of stiffness within the neck region.
There are 220 different types of headaches within 3 main categories; Primary Headaches (Migraines, Tension headaches, Cluster Headache), Secondary Headaches (a symptom of a disease that can activate pain) and Cranial Neuralgias, central & primary facial pain and other headaches. This means that every patient suffering from a headache condition will require an individualized assessment and care plan.
Scoliosis is known as a horizontal curvature of the spinal column. Scoliosis usually presents with two curves; a primary curve and a secondary curve to compensate and balance out the spinal and pelvic alignment. Scoliosis may be idiopathic in nature, i.e. the individual may be born with a predominance to the condition. It may also arise from various other factors including heavy school bags/one-sided hand-bags, a previous injury that did not heal correctly, emotional trauma or other illnesses.
Back pain throughout pregnancy is extremely common and may also arise post-pregnancy as well. When pregnant, the brain releases a hormone called Relaxin which targets the ligaments of the pelvis and allows them to stretch and loosen up in order to accommodate for an expanding uterus during pregnancy. Movement of the pelvis combined with the added stress of the growing womb may together contribute to spinal and/or sacral joint dysfunction, resulting in pain for the pregnant woman.
Chiropractors also provide therapeutic techniques to help restore movement in feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists & hands etc. Extremity pain and restricted range of motion may be present in a patient after undergoing trauma i.e. joint sprains & tendonitis. Patients may also suffer with joint swelling from systemic causes including arthritis etc.

A new day heralds a new Taylor Swift fan theory, doesn't it?
With the release of the new album track list we expect nothing less from the Swifties than full-blown manic hysteria.
And boy, have they delivered. The rumour mill has gone into overdrive as to what the new songs could be about.
We already reported that there is some speculation surrounding a possible Selena Gomez collab, despite her name being firmly off the track list (unlike Ed Sheeran and Future).
Now the mega-fans of Twitter are delving deeper and getting their collective detecting on.
The fifteenth and last track of Reputation is called 'New Year's Day' and is garnering most of the attention.
One theory is all about good old Harry Style. Yep, people are still talking about Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. Still.
If you can, try and think back to 2012, when Taylor and Harry were bright young things, seen out and about in New York in October. Next came a rumoured 'almighty row', and the pair were said to have broken up, resulting in the infamous shot of Swift looking sad on a boat. Alone.
We thought this break-up was documented well enough in 1989, alas, her fans think not, suggesting this song is about one thing and one things only, Haylor.
Next up of the list of bizarre theories is that this song is actually set to be the official engagement announcement of Taylor Swift and British beau Joe Alwyn.
Why? We aren't totally sure. But plenty of Swifties were talking on social media about it.
Here are a couple more bits of speculation to truly whet you appetite. One heralding the continuation of the infamous Perry-Swift feud, because, why the hell not?
And here's another about specific text placement.
Petty, Swift fans? Never.
Let the confusing speculation continue. Heck, it could be totally true.

Kid’s room chic
When you think of children’s bedrooms, what comes to mind?
Garish character duvet sets? Bright pink or bright blue paint slapped on the wall, accessorized with grubby handprints and the remnants of your blue eyeliner that the toddler found in the bathroom? Or how about acres of Telly Tubby wallpaper that makes you feel uneasy with all those eyes staring down at you when you comfort the baby in the small hours? No wonder the child can’t s
The world of children’s interiors is changing.
We now want our children’s bedrooms to fit into the aesthetic of the rest of our home. We have created beautiful living spaces for ourselves, so why should our children be stuck in a world of primary colours and bed sheets from Argos
Children grow so fast. One day they can be a small child obsessed with pink and ponies and seemingly the next, they are a pre teen concerned with fashion and style complaining that their room décor is too babyish.
There are so many great ideas on how to spruce up your child’s bedroom into a room that you can be proud of, ranging from beautiful designer furniture to a cheap and cheerful make over that can cost as little as £20 for a tin of paint and some wall stickers.
Fresh, modern monochrome can look amazing in a child’s bedroom. It solves the problem of having a gender neutral room if you have a boy and a girl who need to share, or if you want a room that will grow with a child and won’t need updating for many years.
Don’t think monochrome mean cold. Monochrome rooms look fresh and with the right accessories, can look as cosy as a room full of colour.
A monochrome scheme can look as good in a baby’s nursery as it does in a teenager’s bedroom and is a look that can evolve as your child grows.
Creating a monochrome look in a bedroom can be as amazingly simple as starting with white as your blank canvas. Rugs, wall art, cushions and the odd piece of black or white furniture can be added (or existing furniture painted) to create a simple look, as above. A look that can evolve with a child and be added to as you wish.
To create a more dramatic monochrome look, paint the walls a dark grey or off black and accessorize with white. It creates a dramatic but still welcoming look, and when coupled with soft lighting, it can create a magical feel to a room.
Don’t forget about the power of wall stickers. There are some fantastic wall stickers on the market these days that can emanate the look of wall paper without having to go through the hassle of papering walls. They are also easily removable without damaging paintwork so you can regularly change the look and feel of the room. Splashes of a contrasting colour can look fantastic within a monochrome room, as above.
Finally don't forget to involve your child in the theme of the room, after all it is theirs! Display the "toys of the month" on a wall mounted shelf or bookcase and let them have free reign of how to arrange them. If they feel they have contributed to the room they are more likely to love it (at least that is what you can make them believe! ;)

Intel's Android efforts: products, please, not prototypes Is it really news that Intel is encouraging Asian netbook and tablet makers to use its processors in their Android products, as Taiwan's DigiTimes and the many sites citing it believe? We'd think it news if the chip giant wasn't making such a move. Intel is in the …
What's Intel asking for their chips?
"But do those machines ship? Most do not."
I do not claim to know, I am just wondering. Are they maybe being greedy over what they expect the OEMs to pony up for that Intel kit?
I don't think price is the problem
I think Intel's problem is that ARM chips are just more power efficient.
As I understand it ARM Linux is still quite limited as to what you can run on it, and obviously there's no ARM version of Windows. So that left the netbook to Intel. But if we're running mobile OSes on tablets, then they're going to have a huge battery advantage on ARM - and raw processor power is less important. Therefore low power chips are going to win.
I appreciate the reply. Had not thought of that aspect of it.

A collaborative painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol features Warhol’s highly stylized take on the Olympic symbol of the five rings against their traditional white background. Superimposed, just off center, is a strong image of a Black face done in Basquiat’s freehand, graffiti-like style.
These two socially minded Pop icons incorporated imagery and text from contemporary culture into their personal expressions. During the summer of 1984, the Olympic Games were in Los Angeles, the first time they were hosted in the United States in half a century. Meanwhile, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection and his policies continued to marginalize African American and poor communities.

Voter apathy and disillusionment may be on the rise among low-income communities and communities of color. The economic recovery has been particularly harsh on communities of color and the 14.1% unemployment rate for Black Americans is nearly double that of white Americans. Some voters don’t have a strong opinion about Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, arguing that neither candidate is pursuing issues that matter most to their community. Furthermore, political impasse and infighting, coupled with an influx of negative political ads, leave these voters with an impression that there is little hope for progress in the future.

Black women around the world and throughout history have fought for their freedom and inclusion in society. In the United States, we are most familiar with the likes of Rosa Parks, Ella Baker and Claudette Colvin – African American women leaders that fought for Civil Rights throughout the 1960s. The struggle for freedom in the Americas actually started much earlier than that. Today marks the anniversary of a Cuban revolution that began nearly a century before Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s July 26th Movement. Carlota, who predates both Guevara and Castro, was one of several female Africans responsible for leading a string of successful slave uprisings in Cuba from 1843-44. The freedom of her compatriots would eventually cost Carlota her life.

It’s that time again! It’s the time when hollow buzz words such as “prosperity” and “freedom” dominate the airwaves, bombarding the senses yet falling short of truly addressing the issues. Yes, folks, its election time in the United States! With less than a week left before the election, partisan bickering is nearing its highest levels and the pressure to “choose sides” is increasing with each day. Two of the largest voting groups that are being targeted in these final weeks are students and black voters. Large supporters of Barack Obama in 2008, these constituencies could be the deciding factor in ever-important swing states such as North Carolina and Ohio. However, there is a disturbing lack of discussion regarding the topic of mass incarceration in the United States, a systemic epidemic that disproportionately affects Black and Latino youth.

In 2018 the space was transformed into a sleek mid-century French bistro with black button-tucked banquettes, Sputnik chandeliers and a chic yet inviting dining room. Upscale and comfortable -- a favorite Tallahassee neighborhood bistro. Limited alfresco dining available on the front patio.


A 21-storey office tower will be built on Melbourne’s riverfront at Southbank under a masterplan to transform the prominent precinct by Fender Katsalidis.
The $800 million project will see the existing mid-rise Southgate shopping centre and dining complex demolished to make way for the commercial tower.
Working in collaboration with Oculus, Fender Katsalidis plans to redevelop both the built and urban form of the precinct, which is located directly across the river from Flinders Street Station.
The tower will accommodate 39,000 square metres of net lettable area and approximately 10,000 square metres of retail spaces.
The “sculptural” form of the tower will complement the existing Herald and Weekly Times building and IBM tower in Southbank.
As a response to the lack of green spaces in Southbank, the project will include 2,000 square metres of publicly accessible parkland, including an elevated park and a further 2,000 square metres of landscaped open spaces.
The masterplan intends to generate greater public engagement with the riverfront as well as link to the neighbouring Arts Centre Precinct and wider river promenade, which the City of Melbourne also plans to revitalize.
“The new Southgate precinct is intended to improve the lifestyle, work and entertainment experiences of residents, workers and visitors alike. Our design outcome will facilitate greater connectivity between people and place, and serve as a destination to be enjoyed for many decades to come,” said Nicky Drobis, director of Fender Katsalidis.
“Integral to our plans is the creation of informal and open spaces where people can meet. These are complemented by the more formal commercial spaces in the tower’s offices and its retail podium.”
The site’s owner ARA Australia hopes the project will create “a first for Melbourne.”
Rohan Neville, ARA Australia’s head of asset management said, “The new Southgate will create a unique opportunity to connect with nature alongside and overlooking the river – an opportunity lost up to this point in time.”

DES MOINES — The errors started to emerge even before Mitt Romney was declared the winner of the Iowa caucus by eight votes. By the time the results were certified two weeks later, mistakes had been found in so many districts that the state Republican Party chairman declared that it would be impossible to determine a winner.
Critics responded almost immediately with a seemingly obvious assertion: real elections have winners.
But even after the party chairman reversed himself and called the race for Rick Santorum, many state leaders justified the confusion in a way that may appear at odds with the level of attention awarded the first-in-the-nation caucus:
This was not, in fact, a real election.
That argument, made by everyone from the state’s governor to the editorial page of its largest newspaper, distinguished between the exacting standards of a professional state-run primary and the assumed informality of a party-run, volunteer-staffed caucus, in which the votes do not even officially count.
Nevertheless it was a startling admission in a state that has fiercely defended the significance of an event that plays an outsize role in shaping nomination contests — and the state’s own sphere of influence — and it highlighted the relative unreliability of a voting process already criticized as being undemocratic.
Now, after a series of contentious primaries, the Republican nomination contest is once again heading into caucus country. Nevada, Maine, Colorado and Minnesota will hold caucuses in the next few days and the rest of the Republican caucus states will hold their own in the following weeks.
Those in favor of the caucus format, in which party members typically attend meetings at a set time to vote, are worried that additional problems will further undermine a traditional system that has been in declining use, as more states move to the comparative convenience and reliability of a primary.
In Iowa, the results changed when the party found that the totals of the hand-written and hand-counted ballots had been misreported in 131 of 1,774 precincts. Many more turned in certification forms without the necessary signatures. And eight— a record few, in fact — never filed the paperwork needed for certification.
“We really don’t have any set procedures for how to handle things,” said Matt Green, a volunteer in Lee County who oversaw two of the Iowa precincts that did not file paperwork. “Probably every caucus that’s ever happened there have been mistakes and forms not turned in. I know from my own experience. But in the past it hasn’t mattered because the vote hasn’t been this close.”
As the Republican race continues, the Nevada caucus, in particular, will be closely watched for signs of trouble. Four years ago, both parties’ caucuses were riddled with problems before, during and after the vote. There were lawsuits, and difficulty accommodating high turnout, and after the counting was done, candidates discovered that whoever won the most votes would not necessarily get the most delegates.
This year, despite assurances that the process was improved, there were new concerns, like the decision to allow counties to set their own rules, which means that people voting in different parts of the state will have very different voting experiences.
Craig Robinson helped run the Iowa caucus for the Republican Party four years ago, and afterward traveled to Nevada to lend his expertise, but was stunned by the disarray. “I can’t tell you how big of a mess it was,” he said.
“I’m nervous about the other caucus states coming up,” said Mr. Robinson, now editor of the Web site The Iowa Republican. “My fear is if there is another problem with a caucus you’re going to have more people say, ‘Why are we doing this?’ ”
In Maine, where most of the caucuses take place over a week and according to rules set by municipalities, Mike Quatrano, the executive director of the state Republican Party, said other state processes seemed simple by comparison.
"Smooth? No,” he said. “It would be nice if it was like Iowa, and we had one day and everyone caucused. But this process, where everyone does their own thing, I have to be honest with you, it can be very challenging.”
Four years ago, the mastery of the labyrinthine rules and procedures in often-overlooked caucus states was a critical part of President Obama’s strategy to win delegates during the bruising battle for the Democratic nomination.
The difficulty Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign had in caucus states led supporters to push unsuccessfully to remove them from the nomination process, saying they limited participation and lacked protections to ensure fairness.
This year, Mr. Romney, the Republican front-runner, has focused on building the strong organization that helps in the low-turnout affairs. Ron Paul has also focused on the caucuses, believing his dedicated supporters give him an advantage; he even sidestepped Florida to campaign in Maine.
Any number of examples — including the George W. Bush-Al Gore battle in Florida — serve as reminders that the closest elections, even those run by the professionals, are rarely as simple as tallying the votes and declaring a winner. Totals change as errors are discovered. Big turnouts strain systems. Media pressure to quickly declare winners sometimes overstates initial results, and all of this can be exaggerated by a close race at the top.
Because of Iowa’s elevated role in the nomination process — the four remaining candidates in the race were the top four vote-getters in the caucus — the stakes are high. Some political observers argue that the current dynamics of the race would be different had Mr. Santorum, not Mr. Romney, properly been declared the winner.
Hugh Winebrenner, a retired professor who wrote a book on the Iowa caucuses, said they had a history of problems. At times, he said, it appeared that leaders from both parties were filtering or spinning results to support establishment candidates, a charge that emerged this year as well.
Because the vote totals were usually incomplete and often opaque — the Iowa Democratic Party does not release vote totals for the candidates or maintain records from older races, a spokesman said — the State Legislature eventually made misreporting caucus results a misdemeanor.
The problems added a new line of attack for critics, prompting fears here that the negative publicity had jeopardized the state’s position on the election calendar. Gov. Terry Branstad, saying the process was already transparent, brushed aside those concerns. “I think they generally did a good job,” he said. “Remember this is a caucus, not a primary. So you don’t have all the professionalism that you have with the county auditors and all of those people handling it. You have volunteers.”
After the Iowa caucus, The Associated Press added a disclaimer about caucuses in its election advisories: “This event is a party run, party administered affair. No voting equipment is being used, and professional election administration officials are not managing the process.”

Video: Murder charges filed in 2003 Old Fire
Special Section: Inland Wildfires
SAN BERNARDINO – A San Bernardino man already imprisoned on
unrelated charges now faces five counts of murder and arson charges
and is accused of starting the catastrophic Old Fire in 2003.
San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos and other
officials announced the return of a grand jury indictment this
afternoon against Rickie Lee Fowler, 28.
Fowler was charged with one count of arson on an inhabited
structure or property and one count of aggravated arson, Ramos said
at this afternoon’s news conference at the district attorney’s
office in San Bernardino.
Fowler has long been under suspicion for starting the blaze,
which led to six deaths, destroyed 1,003 homes — including many in
the Del Rosa neighborhood of San Bernardino — and burned 91,281
acres of brush and timber in nearby mountains and foothills.
He has been incarcerated on unrelated charges since weeks after
the fire began on Oct. 25, 2003. The Old Fire burned for nine days
from Devore and Crestline on the east to Cedar Glen near Lake
Arrowhead on the west. It caused $45 million in damage.
All six fatalities were heart attacks or induced by the stress
of fighting or fleeing the wind-driven flames. At the time,
prosecutors said they were confident they could prove murder even
though no one had burned to death.
Ramos, speaking in front of two large photos taken during the
Old Fire, described the blaze as “one of the most devastating fires
in this county’s history.”
“Although justice was delayed, I will tell you justice will be
done in this case,” Ramos said.
Authorities plan to take Fowler into custody on an arrest
warrant. He will be arraigned on the charges in San Bernardino in
about two weeks, said Supervising Deputy District Attorney Victor
Prosecutors have been presenting evidence to the grand jury for
the past two weeks, Stull said.
Stull said most of the investigation focused on identifying
Fowler as the man accused of setting the fire. Prosecutors believe
they have enough evidence to prove that Fowler set the fire by
throwing a flare in Waterman Canyon, Stull said.
Fowler has made past statements that show he at least aided and
abetted in the starting of the fire, Stull said.
There is no statute of limitations on murder, officials said,
but prosecutors did face an Oct. 25 deadline to file arson
Sheriff Rod Hoops echoed Ramos’ comments expressing relief that
charges had been filed.
“It’s been six long years since this devastating fire swept
through our county,” Hoops said. “It’s been six long years but
justice is finally going to be served.”
San Bernardino County supervisors Gary Ovitt and Neil Derry were
among the county officials who spoke about how the county is still
recovering from the fire.
“We’re now still cleaning up after this fire,” said Derry, whose
district includes the area devastated by the fire. At the time of
the fire, Derry served as a San Bernardino city councilman
representing the ward through which flames swept. “Cedar Glen is

State and local officials from both Indiana and Illinois are celebrating the opening of a first-of-its-kind clinic in Hammond. Mishawaka-based Franciscan Health says the new Multi-Specialty Hepatitis C and HIV Clinic will serve both the northwest Indiana and south suburban Chicago communities.
The clinic is located at the Franciscan Health Hammond hospital. Dennis Stover, director of HIV, STD and viral hepatitis for the Indiana State Department of Health, calls the clinic a model for the country.
“We know the HIV arena organized very early and it had a lot of community behind it. The hepatitis C community does not have that, so marrying up HIV and hepatitis C is very important to not have to relearn those lessons that we learned in the ‘80s," said Stover. "The importance is that they go hand in hand. A lot of folks that become HIV positive are also at risk of hepatitis C."
Franciscan says it has begun notifying people in the Franciscan Alliance network born between 1945 and 1965 they should be screened for hepatitis C, which has had the greatest effect on baby boomers. The health system cites the CDC, which says people in that age range should be screened at least once in their lifetime.
Franciscan says, in the beginning, providers at the clinic will offer services from 8:00 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays, with other days being made available for free hepatitis C screenings.

In 1999, the Wildlife Unlimited of Allegan & Ottawa Counties, Inc. and the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District (OAISD) partnered to create the Outdoor Discovery Center to create an outdoor education facility for the community serving both students and the public.
The 100-acre parcel of land purchased by Wildlife Unlimited was an ideal site because of its diverse ecosystems. It had been decades since it was farmed and one of the first projects the ODC undertook was to restore the land to its pre-settlement condition. Subsequent land acquisitions have added to the natural diversity including ponds, remnant dunes, wetlands, meadows, remnant prairie, and lowland hardwood forest. Visitors are able to experience these unique surroundings while walking on three miles of trails, many that are wheelchair, stroller, and wagon-friendly on the 160 acre site.
Our staff offer a variety of programs to schools and the community that help foster the concepts of wildlife management, conservation, outdoor education and preservation. A diverse taxidermy collection of North American wildlife with other exhibits, including a number of live reptiles and amphibians, makes the 5,000 square foot Visitors Center ideal for visiting during any season. Highlights for many visitors include viewing live birds at the De Witt Birds of Prey Center, playing at the Eldean Family Nature Play Park, or exploring the many ponds and wetlands. During the winter season business hours, snowshoes are available for rent at the Visitors Center during business hours when there is at least four inches of snow on the ground.

This is why bikes throughout and after 1970 are simpler to find.
Although still considered vintage pieces, they are much less searched for by collectors.
The rarest bikes in North America are those that were created before the 1970's.
Some valued bike consist of the 1940 Auto Moto from France.
The rear derailleur freewheel/cassette and chainwheels are probably the first to be changed on a bike.
Another pre 1970s vintage bike is the Carlton Flyer of the 1950's.
Firestone Bicycle in Europe often tend to be more mature, approximately a century old because the continent has a much longer making and design past.
The earliest bike makers and designers in the globe are located in Europe, most especially France and Italy.
The Auto Moto Porteur is a lovely silver bike along with wings on the equipment protector and a little head light connecteded to the frontal tire guard.
The structure and deal with bars makes the bike look even more like a modern day racer bike, like those utilized for the Tour de France.

The City of Portland encourages innovative design and creative solutions in housing, especially on infill lots. While every lot developer/builder in the City of Portland wipes tears of laughter from their eyes and attempts to regain control of their faculties, let’s consider the story of Valhalla Custom Homes.
Valhalla Custom Homes is a small, local builder in the Portland market owned by Gary, Chris, Jonathan and Mari Ives. The Ives family builds two homes a year, using custom plans for each home they build. Each house is unique and each house means something to the Ives. Every new home they take on is a major investment for them. They are the picture of the type of builder the City of Portland claims to support: thoughtful, creative and innovative.
Valhalla Custom Homes made an offer on a lot in NE Portland. Like any responsible builder, they made their offer contingent on a due diligence period. They then set up meetings with the Portland Development Services Center and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT). During these meetings, Valhalla verifies zoning, allowable uses and confirms with PBOT that the minimum allowed driveway for a two-unit attached dwelling is 14 feet and on-street parking is 18 feet. This has the bonus of solving any on-street parking issues the project will bump up against with PBOT. With all details confirmed with the City, Valhalla buys the lot in April of 2017.
Unfortunately, for Valhalla, the rest of the story is sad and all too typical when dealing with PBOT. In May of 2017, PBOT issues an internal memorandum to PBOT staff radically changing the parking standards for on street/off street parking, changing required setbacks for garages from 18 feet to 24 feet and mandating that attached dwellings be designed with garages located immediately adjacent to one another.
Before we go on, consider what is being said here: PBOT internally changed the development code through a memorandum to their staff. Wait, can they do that? Isn’t there supposed to be a process for changing standards and requirements in the development process so that public comment can be made? This is Portland! Everyone is supposed to get a chance to be on the record before any change is made. Apparently at PBOT code can be changed by fiat, without public input or a review period.
These changes were delivered to staff, but no notice was provided to the public or to builders. Valhalla, blissfully unaware that their design plan was now dead in the water, proceeded to spend thousands of dollars on a housing design with garages that violate the new policy, a change that occurred AFTER their pre-application meeting and without any notice.
In November, the Portland Planning and Zoning Department approved the building design and location on the property. So far so good. Then in December, the Ives received notice that PBOT was denying the driveway design based on the internal policy change. This came as quite a shock to the Ives given their meeting with PBOT. When they pled their case to PBOT, there was no understanding, no explanation and certainly no offer to rectify the situation. Just tough luck, your problem Valhalla, eat the loss and move on.
This decision leaves Valhalla with three choices:
- Build as prescribed by PBOT’s questionably adopted rule and lose significant value, despite seeking assurance beforehand that their design would work;
- Sue the City of Portland for unilaterally changing code without process;
- Give up, sell the lot and do what many builders have before them: Stop buying lots in Portland and build in places where their contribution is valued.
Valhalla has a good case against the City, but the City has unlimited resources and Valhalla is at a distinct disadvantage financially. Is it worth it to throw good money at a legal process that will likely only delay the project further and cost more resources? The City knows that no one has the resources to hold them accountable and that’s why they can afford to skirt the law and smugly deny a small builder like Valhalla.
It will be up to Valhalla to decide what choice to make going forward, but the message sent by PBOT is the same message builders have been sent for years by the City: The rules are the rules unless we (PBOT) change them without notice and impose them without process. Tough luck.

5 Reasons Why Eglinton is The New Bloor
Eglinton has long been the geographical centre of Toronto but Bloor street (and it’s sister street Danforth Avenue) has always been seen as the symbolic centre because of the subway and the infrastructure that it has brought this street over the last 50 years. All that is about the change because the Crosstown Expressway is going to be a game-changer.
Here are 5 reasons why Eglinton is the new Bloor.
1. Eglinton is getting a subway.
Just like Bloor Street, Eglinton is getting a subway.
It”s no secret that theÂ EglintonÂ LRT is under construction now, and is to be completed by 2020. Eventually it will link Kennedy road in Scarborough all the way to Pearson airport. The LRT will be underground from Keele to Laird. In other words, if you are a real estate investor, this 9Km stretch is the one you will definitely want to keep an eye on over the next 5-10 years. Investing close to transit nodes,Â especiallyÂ rapid transit, will be increasingly important as the city continues to grow in population and sprawl and gridlock increase.
2. Condo development is about to explode on Eglinton
Right now Eglinton from east to west is a real hodge podge of good and bad, ugly and beautiful, expensive areas andÂ dilapidatedÂ areas, suburban and urban. With the LRT going in, this road will become the new centre of the city, with more and more people moving through the corridor every day. It will become more urbanized like Bloor street, starting at Yonge street and moving out.
As soon as the City announced that the LRT would be going in, developers from around the region started looking for sites to build on Eglinton. Yonge and Eglinton is naturally where the heart of this development is taking place with projects like E Condos, 155 Redpath, 2221 Yonge, 30 Roe, 101 Erskine to name a few in the pipeline right now.
Looking to Eglinton Avenue West, The Hub by Empire Communities is launching now and is going to be a great example of how some of the lesser developed stretches of Eglinton will be transformed for the better thanks in part to the existence of the the LRT.
3. Eglinton is getting thousands of new jobs
Much of the development along Eglinton will create new jobs. The LRT construction alone will employ thousands for the next 7 years. Employers in urban centres are increasingly locating their new office spaces where their employees want to live or where they already live. The South Financial Core is a great example of this. The same thing will happen at Yonge and Eglinton. First the condos go in, then the retail follows, then the office towers will follow. Yonge and Eglinton has the potential to be a major centre for employment just like Yonge and Bloor.
4. The City is planning on making Eglinton the centre of Toronto
One of the strongest arguments as to why Eglinton is the new Bloor (or will be soon), is that the Chief city planner wants it that way. Jennifer Keesmaat has said in reference to the Bloor street comparisons, “We’re really going to start to see the centre of gravity shifting”. In fact, the crosstown LRT will make Eglinton not just Toronto’s geographical centre, but more it’s symbolic centre.
5. Big money is already in and around Eglinton
Posh neighbourhoods like Leaside, Forest Hill, and of course the Yonge and Eglinton area itself all border on Eglinton Avenue.Â With these areas comes high-end dining and shopping, with more retailers andÂ restauranteursÂ looking for space in these areas all the time.Â DemographicallyÂ these areas are not all thatÂ differentÂ from the Yorkville/Yonge&Bloor corridor, but for the most not yet a destination in the same sense that Yorkville is. But this will all change in the next decade. Developers are planning on puttingÂ hundredsÂ of millions into projects along Eglinton area to ride the boom that is about to happen.

Buddhist Deity Hayagriva Avatar of Vishnu
The Buddhist Deity Hayagriva Avatar of Vishnu is depicted in Burmese wall murals in the temples of Pagan and Mrauk-U. Buddhist iconography excavated in Burma in the form of bronze castings of the Buddha, and deities generally associated with Hinduism were influenced through their interactions with visiting Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims during the first Millennia.
The central figure on this rare round bronze disc is a depiction of the Hayagriva, with a horse head and a human body. The Hayagriva Hindu Deity is regarded as the “God of knowledge and wisdom”, and one of the Avatars of Vishnu, primarily worshiped by the Vaishnavas and believed to be one of the incarnations of the Buddha. Vishnu is one of the most highly worshiped deities in India. Haya means horse and Griva means neck in Sanskrit. According to myth and legend, the Hayagriva’s incarnation took place to restore the Vedas to Lord Brahma and to restore cosmic order.
It is believed that there are one hundred and eight depictions of the Hayagriva, this deity is worshiped in parts of South East Asia where there is a strong Hindu following. Hayagriva is often represented with several arms, holding a conch shell or sword, sometimes with Lakshmi his consort seated on his knee, usually seated on a lotus flower.
Excerpt from the Book “The Mists of Ramanna“, an excellent historical account of the Mon, Pyu, and Pagan kingdoms and their early relationship with India – written By Michael A. Aung-Thwin
Pyü iconography also revealed evidence of tantric and other forms of Mahäyäna Buddhism. Avalokitesvara, Tärä, Mänusi, Jambhala, Lokanätha, and Hayagrïva, all prominent in Mahayana Buddhism, were very much part of the Pyü, and later the Pagán scene. Brahmanism was also well represented in iconography at SrïKsetra. The standing ﬁgures of Vishnu and his consort, Lakshmï, are found together in bold relief on a sandstone slab. Other manifestations of Vishnu were found, one with four arms, standing on his vehicle, Garuda, while another has him reclining on the serpent Ananta, a motif also found at eleventh-century Pagán in the Nat-Hlaung-Gyaung. On three lotus ﬂowers that emerge from the navel of this reclining Visnu are members of the Hindu Trinity: Brahmä, Vishnu, and Shiva.
Bronze Disc with Hayagriva Deity
This mystery bronze disc has intrigued us for many years and is still a source of intrigue. We originally thought the bird on the top of the disc to be that of a peacock, but have concluded that the legs are possibly too thick, and the head with the protrusion possibly rules out the peacock theory, whereas the hamsa or hintha bird is usually shown with thick legs and feet with a protrusion on the head. The hamsa bird is also seen in Indian art, and sculptures and is mentioned in ancient literature.
Hamsa, a Sanskrit word, translates into hintha, the Burmese version of the Hamsa bird. Although the real hamsa bird is a graceful swan-like bird it can also fly. According to Mon legends, the ancient city of Hamsawaddy now referred to as Bago, located 91 kilometers north-east of Yangon was founded nearly 2000 years ago.
The hamsa or hintha bird, peacock, and naga are significant symbolic creatures in Burma, especially so to the Mon people of Burma. The current Mon flag features a Hamsa bird. The hamsa bird is also seen in Tibetan, Indian, and Cambodian Buddhist art and iconography. Stories, myths, and legends surrounding the Hamsa bird are bountiful, each with its own connotations and meanings. To learn more about Hayagriva in Buddhism
Our thoughts on this disc are that it is likely Mon or Pyu. The Mons from the early part of the first millennium were worshipers of Vishnu as well as Buddhism. This also fits in with the view that the early Mons had frequent contact with India and that there was a vibrant trade between the Mon city of Thaton and those across the Bay of Bengal and down to south India.

Council OKs 'high-end' electric car showroom, service center in Mishawaka. Is it Tesla?
MISHAWAKA — While both the Common Council and the developer danced around the question Monday night of whether it's Tesla that hopes to open a showroom and service center in the former JC Penney Home Store at Grape and Cleveland roads, one thing was certain: Both sides want the other.
The council voted for the zoning change to allow automotive use in the current strip mall after Chris Sotos, a representative of Key Development Partners, detailed the discussions he had with neighbors who questioned the development's lighting, traffic patterns and the impact on their homes to the north and west.
Sotos has said Key Development has a contract in place to buy the site from its local owner and lease it to the “high-end electric automobile, solar power and renewable energy” company.
Key Development has not disclosed the tenant to the city, thought residents and officials alike have speculated that the incoming company is Tesla.
Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood even joined in the speculation, calling the auto company's identity "the worst kept secret" in a post on social media after the council vote.
The firm is expected to take over the 35,500-square-foot JC Penney building, razing the smaller building to the west and will make improvements to lighting, the parking lot and landscaping.
The electric car company plans to offer minimal vehicle inventory on site, with no need for illuminated parking lots that often are seen in conventional dealerships, the developer says.
Tesla sells its cars directly to consumers and does not use third-party dealerships. In 2019, Elon Musk announced plans to move the company’s sales almost entirely online and close its physical stores, while leaving some locations open as “galleries.”
Sotos said there would be eight charging stations on site, with usage of them by both local and traveling electric vehicle owners.
The site's proximity to the Indiana Toll Road was a factor in its location, as the demand for electric vehicle charging stations for electric vehicles increases.
Rodney Waters, resident of Timberland Drive, just west of the proposed development, originally had questions about the auto project when the issue came before the Plan Commission in May. After several meetings and correspondences, he said he was convinced the developers would make changes to accommodate neighbors.
"We've all done our research on Tesla, on lighting," Waters told council members. "We would welcome them as a neighbor."
Long-awaited expansion:Library project heading toward finish line, could spur more downtown South Bend growth
Sotos also said the facility would have a showroom with a handful of cars on display, as well as a “host of other solar and renewable products that the tenant is in the business of selling,” but that the vehicles would not actually be sold on site as they would be at a traditional dealership.
Sotos said the developer would add landscaping and limit lighting to the minimum needed for security.
While council president Gregg Hixenbaugh lauded Sotos' efforts to work with neighbors, he objected to the fact that the end user for the development was not being formerly announced.
"We as a community need to trust the end user will stick to these commitments and be a good neighbor in Mishawaka," he said. "Because of the outreach that you did to the neighborhood, and the other factors you described, I am willing to vote for this."

The concept carries the name S5S Raptor and it features a mid-mounted supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that can burn either petrol or 85% ethanol blended fuels. This engine develops a massive 650hp and 630 lb-ft of torque. The sprint to 60mph takes just 3.2 seconds and top speed is an estimated 200mph.
Other features include a lightweight aluminum chassis and composite body and a six-speed manual transmission sending drive to the rear wheels.
Stopping performance is guaranteed through the use of massive brake rotors measuring 15” (381mm) in the front and 13” (308mm) in the rear. Road holding traction is provided by the 275/35 ZR20 and 315/35/ZR20 Pirelli Rosso tires that wrap the 20” forged aluminum front and rear wheels respectively.
As this image reveals, the new concept is just as aggressive as the current mid-engined S7 supercar but it will be priced much lower than the $600,000 flagship if it were to enter production. If given the green light, Saleen claims the car could be in showrooms within two years with a price tag of $185,000.


Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, backtracks on Oracle, the company
Updated : February 25, 2019 10:17 PM IST
Investors were flummoxed earlier this month when Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc, revealed that during last year's fourth quarter it had exited a $2.13 billion stake in Oracle that it had taken the prior quarter.
It is rare for Berkshire, which owns some stocks for decades, to unwind an investment so fast.

How Geothermal Works
Click Here to visit Parker Water Wells
Most people are unaware that the earth’s natural temperature,
which exists down within the ground can be used for both heating,
cooling, and supplying hot water; therefore performing the same
tasks as both a furnace or an air conditioner. Contained within
the geothermal system, the heat exchanger is able to extract the
earth’s natural heat in concentrated form to provide hot water
for a complete heating solution, or to reverse the process to dissipate
heat and cool your home during the summer.
Geothermal heating and cooling energy is transported between your
home or business using an open or closed loop system. Open loop
systems work well in areas where there is a fairly large volume
of clean water available and there is also an acceptable way to
discharge that water.
Heating & Cooling Applications
From an energy efficiency standpoint all loops perform about the
same. In the heating season, the loop fluid circulates through the
loop absorbing heat from the earth and carries it to your home.
The geothermal system then processes the extracted heat and compresses
it to a higher temperature which is then distributed throughout
the home using traditional duct systems.
In the air conditioning season, this process is reserved, and the
geothermal unit absorbs heat from inside the home and sends it back
to the cooler earth. By using the natural temperature of the earth,
which is relatively stable all year, a geothermal system is the
most efficient method available to provide year round comfort and
high efficiency performance.


The fifth-generation Santa Fe is larger than its predecessors, and third-row seating has been restored to U.S. models.
The shocking redesign of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe was unveiled to the public last month. Hyundai has now unveiled more specific details about the new wildly styled mid-size SUV, ruining some of the surprise. The fifth-generation Santa Fe is larger in almost every way compared to its predecessor, and it also introduces new features, such as the addition of a third row of seats to U.S. models.
Stronger and More Prominent Than Ever
This generation of the Santa Fe debuted for the 2019 model year and received a facelift for the 2021 model year, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at these pictures. H-shaped front and rear lighting elements complete the new Santa Fe’s bold design, making it immediately obvious to onlookers that it is, in fact, a Hyundai.
The Santa Fe of 2024 is longer, wider, and taller overall than its predecessor. Its new length is 190.2 inches, an increase of 1.8 inches from its previous measurement. Even though the Santa Fe is now 1.9 inches longer in overall length, it is still 0.5 feet shorter than the three-row Hyundai Palisade. The extra space afforded by its 110.8-inch wheelbase is especially welcome in the vehicle’s third-row seats. The previous generation sold in other markets included the third row, but in the United States, buyers were only able to choose between two and three.
The new Santa Fe retains the same width as its predecessor, but it is now an inch or two taller (not including the available large roof rails). Bigger 21-inch wheels are now an option, up from the previous maximum of 20s. Cargo space behind the third row has increased by a few cubic feet to 26 cubic feet, according to Hyundai. A larger opening in the liftgate should facilitate loading and unloading.
An Interior with Greater Openness
The newly redesigned Santa Fe may be mistaken for a Land Rover by passengers. That might not sit well with Land Rover fans, but it should be a hit with the general public. The new dashboard’s upright layout and subtle H-shaped elements are quite attractive, in our opinion. The new column-mounted shifter is a nice touch, and we like that the audio and climate control knobs are located on either side of the 6.6-inch touchscreen.
The two 12.3-inch screens, one for the gauge cluster and one for the infotainment system, are housed in a single curved panel that serves as the focal point of the dashboard. The wheel is upscale looking and looks like it came right out of a Defender. There are two wireless charging pads atop a hollowed-out section of the center console, which the manufacturer promotes as being easily accessible from both the front and rear seats. One other special feature is an ultraviolet light-sterilizing tray that sits atop the glovebox.
It is not specified whether or not standard or optional footrests are available for front-seat passengers. The captain’s chairs in the second row are power-adjustable, and the seats in the third row recline by up to 10 degrees. According to Hyundai, the second and third row passengers have up to 42.3 and 30 inches of legroom. That’s an increase of 2.7 inches for those sitting in the very back compared to outgoing three-row models.
Automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and even semi-autonomous drive modes are just some of the driver assistance features available on the 2024 Santa Fe. Locking doors prevent passengers from wandering into traffic, and a new driver-attention monitor and radar-based rear-seat check reminder keep everyone safe.
